My viewpoint on the U.S. market for 2023 is quite bullish, and that’s predicated on growth and tech continuing to outperform. We’ll see consolidation periods and selloffs, of course, but I maintain that we’ll see much higher prices in the U.S. equity markets at the end of this year than where we started.<p></p><p>Perhaps the most followed growth stock is <strong>Tesla, Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:TSLA), and the last time I covered the stock was about seven months ago. Much has occurred since then, to say the least. TSLA stock went to a well-publicized low of $101, but quite swiftly <em>doubled</em> off of that low. It’s one of the best performing stocks in the U.S. market so far this year, which is incredible given its size.</p><p>The stock has been consolidating since the high, and we’ll touch on that below. However, so long as we hold the zone of support below, I’m maintaining my buy rating on Tesla. I’m not uber-bullish right now, but I still believe the medium and long-term trajectory is higher.</p><h2>Charting the course</h2><p>We’ll begin as we always do, with the chart. Tesla is in a consolidatory phase right now, having lost key moving average support in recent days.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9bd969b308166473c523851a9fe245ed\" alt=\"Chart\" title=\"Chart\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"714\"/><span>Chart</span></p><p></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>StockCharts</strong></p><p></p><p>We have three local tops, which I’ve connected with the blue line above. There are lower highs being made, and there’s very strong support in the area of ~$165, which <em>has </em>to hold for the bulls; if that level is lost, look out below for a potential test of $100. I don’t think that’s going to happen, but I would not recommend Tesla should it lose that support level.</p><p>I mentioned the moving average support that was lost, and you can see where the rising 50-day simple moving average in blue above was used as support in early March. That line was lost a few days ago, and the stock fell further after losing it. This is not a bullish development and it’s giving me pause in terms of wanting to run out and buy the stock.</p><p>The accumulation/distribution line still looks outstanding, and very bullish. It measures whether big institutional money is buying dips or selling rips, and we are firmly in the former category for Tesla. That’s a bullish sign that the stock is being accumulated, which tends to indicate longer-term bullishness.</p><p>The 14-day RSI looks good as it continues to hold the 40 level, which is bull market behavior. The PPO is also testing the centerline, and we’ll need to see a bounce fairly soon to keep that bullishness alive.</p><p>To sum this up, given the loss of the moving average support, and lower highs being made, I would not be surprised to see a test of the $165 area. Should that occur, Tesla would be a great buy as the risk/reward would be outstanding. For now, it’s in no-man’s land.</p><p>The bottom panel has the stock’s correlation to the 10-year Treasury yield, which is key given the rate environment we’re in today. We can see Tesla’s long-term correlation to the 10-year Treasury is highly negative, which means 10-year Treasury yields and Tesla stock move in different directions. This makes perfect sense as higher rates mean lower valuations for growth stocks, and vice versa. Given that, it makes sense to look at yields, and we’ll do that now.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df23caaa9d1b39024f979a6cda4535bb\" alt=\"Chart\" title=\"Chart\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"517\"/><span>Chart</span></p><p></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>StockCharts</strong></p><p></p><p>The 10-year is testing absolutely critical support in the area of 3.3%, and given the look of momentum, I would be absolutely shocked if we don’t get a breakdown of yield, which is the same thing as a breakout of price, given price and yield move inversely. Point being, if I’m right about the direction of rates, Tesla and other growth stocks should do very well indeed.</p><h2>Fundamentals a mixed bag</h2><p>We all know the automakers are struggling with supply chain issues, and have been for some time. Of course, there are plenty of industries still grappling with the challenges that COVID presented across the globe. That means there are still wait times across the industry for various types of vehicles, dealer lots remain under-inventoried compared to pre-COVID norms, and rising loan interest rates that are crimping consumers’ ability to pay.</p><p>It is, perhaps, no wonder that estimates have come down for Tesla from a revenue perspective in recent months.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e6db56943296955b720ccc22605349e2\" alt=\"vehicle deliveries\" title=\"vehicle deliveries\" tg-width=\"488\" tg-height=\"663\"/><span>vehicle deliveries</span></p><p></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Investor presentation</strong></p><p></p><p>Tesla has seen dips and pauses in vehicle delivery numbers in the past, but it appears to my eye that another one is a low probability. The company is seeing massive growth in China, as well as continuing to play around with U.S. pricing of its models. Much digital ink has been spilled about pricing actions from Tesla, but it seems pretty clear to me that these actions are being done out of a position of strength, not weakness.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c3aa5e5e33f385e932756392920212de\" alt=\"market share\" title=\"market share\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"303\"/><span>market share</span></p><p></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Investor presentation</strong></p><p></p><p>So long as these lines move up and to the right, I’m not bothered with pricing actions.

So long as revenue estimates are falling, the stock may struggle to make a significant move higher. However, if/when they do turn higher again, look out above in terms of the stock price.</p><p>I normally would place more weight on revenue estimates, except that Tesla’s margin profile has continued to get better and better over time. What that means is that it is in a position to generate higher profitability on each dollar of revenue, and gives it the freedom to do things like cut prices. As I said, strength, not weakness.</p><p>Below, we have gross and operating margins on a trailing-twelve-months basis for the past few years for some context.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/16a5716422a4230b2d626cd03ab40b35\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"185\"/></p>Both have moved sharply higher over time, but what’s interesting is that operating margins have continued to grow while gross margins have actually declined in recent quarters. In the first quarter of 2022, gross margins were 27.1% of revenue, while operating margins were 15.5%. That’s a difference of 11.6%. The most recent quarter (with fresh earnings due out in a couple of weeks) was 25.6% and 16.8%, respectively. That’s a difference of 8.8%, which means the gap between operating margin and gross margin is contracting fairly rapidly. That’s an excellent development as it means that each dollar of revenue is becoming more profitable, <em>despite declining gross margins</em>. Imagine what would happen should the company focus on building gross margins again.<p></p><p>Regardless of whether the company continues to focus on market share, or decides to go after more margin, the future is bright and be in no doubt; pricing actions are being done from a position of strength.</p><h2>Cash is king</h2><p>One problem Tesla used to have – and one that I was very concerned about a few years ago – is cash burn. We all know Tesla expanded extremely rapidly over the past few years, which takes cash. However, not only does the company not burn cash any longer, but its balance sheet is absolutely outstanding.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7c719393fec512ae018e4c836fbc4def\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"184\"/></p>Net debt is now down to a net cash position of more than $16 billion, which has numerous benefits. Tesla no longer needs to borrow money or issue stock to fund development. It can make acquisitions, it can invest that cash for additional income, or it can expand at whatever pace it deems necessary. That includes things like rapid expansion of gigafactories, development and refinement of new and existing models, etc. Cash used to be the single biggest issue for Tesla, but now is a massive source of strength.<p></p><p>How has Tesla built a fortress balance sheet? Free cash flow (&#34;FCF&#34;).</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7d1a3f6a321d63b4d9ce1cf8d2a4cce6\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"/></p>TTM FCF is up to $7+ billion, and FCF margin is consistently in the area of 9% to 11% of revenue. These are terrific numbers, and judging by the build in cash on the balance sheet – which is happening simultaneously with factory expansion globally – it’s more than sufficient. Should these numbers decline over time, concern will reign again. But I see no cause for concern here.<p></p><p>Finally, let’s take a look at EPS estimates, which, like revenue, don’t exactly look that great.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/996a5c22b8f9ff33f0550deb49ce1a5b\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"221\"/></p>EPS estimates have come way down since late last year, but have plateaued. Is that it in terms of downward revisions? Time will tell, but anyone that’s familiar with my work knows I very much prefer rising EPS and revenue estimates. We don’t have that here, and that’s why I’m more cautious than I normally would be.<p></p><h2>A look at valuations</h2><p>Let’s start the valuation conversation with price to sales, which we have below for the past three years on a forward basis.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/769ab0ae3f0e5ce9168c55cbb27da5e1\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"215\"/></p>Today’s forward P/S ratio is 5.7X, which is very near the bottom of the range. We could argue the days of 19X forward sales were frothy, and they almost certainly were. But the point stands that – from my perspective – Tesla is stronger than ever in many ways, while sporting what can only be considered a low forward P/S ratio.<p></p><p>Similarly, the forward P/E ratio just continues to fall, as the stock is seeing 46X forward earnings today, compared to an average of 110X in the past three years.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cfed176bb7172af777a5dd39de6d86b9\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"214\"/></p>I’m not going to try to convince anyone that 48X forward earnings is cheap, because we all have our own feelings on relative value. I’m also not going to value Tesla like a traditional automaker, because it isn’t one, and that’s a pointless exercise. I will, however, value the stock against its own historical tendencies, and just like revenue, I cannot see how Tesla, Inc. stock shouldn’t be considered reasonably valued at worst here.<p></p><p>Do I think we’ll see 110X forward earnings again? No. Is there upside potential to 60X or 70X? If I’m right about lower interest rates and a tech/growth bull market, then absolutely there is. For me, that’s the consideration. If we get a bull market in tech and growth this year, more so than what we’ve already seen, stocks like Tesla have enormous upside potential. If I’m wrong, you have the $165 area where you can stop out and take your loss. From a risk/reward perspective, we’re looking at Tesla, Inc. perhaps $20 on the downside, but ~$60 to the upside given $4 in EPS estimates times a 60 forward P/E.</p><p>I can already hear the laughing of value investors scoffing at the idea, but I follow the money, and it looks to me like Tesla, Inc. is attracting it in a big way. I’m maintaining my buy rating on Tesla stock, but am refraining from a strong buy given some of the concerns listed above. The closer we get to $165, the better the buy.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>It's Almost Time To Load Up On Tesla</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nIt's Almost Time To Load Up On Tesla\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-04-11 20:32 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4593228-its-almost-time-to-load-up-on-tesla><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryTesla, Inc.'s massive rally has consolidated for months now.I see some reasons for caution at the moment, but remain longer-term bullish.Risk/reward here is terrific if you use stops prudently....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4593228-its-almost-time-to-load-up-on-tesla\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4593228-its-almost-time-to-load-up-on-tesla","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1116529806","content_text":"SummaryTesla, Inc.'s massive rally has consolidated for months now.I see some reasons for caution at the moment, but remain longer-term bullish.Risk/reward here is terrific if you use stops prudently.Growth stocks have been absolutely outstanding so far this year, after being truly awful for most of 2022. My viewpoint on the U.S. market for 2023 is quite bullish, and that’s predicated on growth and tech continuing to outperform. We’ll see consolidation periods and selloffs, of course, but I maintain that we’ll see much higher prices in the U.S. equity markets at the end of this year than where we started.Perhaps the most followed growth stock is Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), and the last time I covered the stock was about seven months ago. Much has occurred since then, to say the least. TSLA stock went to a well-publicized low of $101, but quite swiftly doubled off of that low. It’s one of the best performing stocks in the U.S. market so far this year, which is incredible given its size.The stock has been consolidating since the high, and we’ll touch on that below. However, so long as we hold the zone of support below, I’m maintaining my buy rating on Tesla. I’m not uber-bullish right now, but I still believe the medium and long-term trajectory is higher.Charting the courseWe’ll begin as we always do, with the chart. Tesla is in a consolidatory phase right now, having lost key moving average support in recent days.ChartStockChartsWe have three local tops, which I’ve connected with the blue line above. There are lower highs being made, and there’s very strong support in the area of ~$165, which has to hold for the bulls; if that level is lost, look out below for a potential test of $100. I don’t think that’s going to happen, but I would not recommend Tesla should it lose that support level.I mentioned the moving average support that was lost, and you can see where the rising 50-day simple moving average in blue above was used as support in early March. That line was lost a few days ago, and the stock fell further after losing it. This is not a bullish development and it’s giving me pause in terms of wanting to run out and buy the stock.The accumulation/distribution line still looks outstanding, and very bullish. It measures whether big institutional money is buying dips or selling rips, and we are firmly in the former category for Tesla. That’s a bullish sign that the stock is being accumulated, which tends to indicate longer-term bullishness.The 14-day RSI looks good as it continues to hold the 40 level, which is bull market behavior. The PPO is also testing the centerline, and we’ll need to see a bounce fairly soon to keep that bullishness alive.To sum this up, given the loss of the moving average support, and lower highs being made, I would not be surprised to see a test of the $165 area. Should that occur, Tesla would be a great buy as the risk/reward would be outstanding. For now, it’s in no-man’s land.The bottom panel has the stock’s correlation to the 10-year Treasury yield, which is key given the rate environment we’re in today. We can see Tesla’s long-term correlation to the 10-year Treasury is highly negative, which means 10-year Treasury yields and Tesla stock move in different directions. This makes perfect sense as higher rates mean lower valuations for growth stocks, and vice versa. Given that, it makes sense to look at yields, and we’ll do that now.ChartStockChartsThe 10-year is testing absolutely critical support in the area of 3.3%, and given the look of momentum, I would be absolutely shocked if we don’t get a breakdown of yield, which is the same thing as a breakout of price, given price and yield move inversely. Point being, if I’m right about the direction of rates, Tesla and other growth stocks should do very well indeed.Fundamentals a mixed bagWe all know the automakers are struggling with supply chain issues, and have been for some time. Of course, there are plenty of industries still grappling with the challenges that COVID presented across the globe. That means there are still wait times across the industry for various types of vehicles, dealer lots remain under-inventoried compared to pre-COVID norms, and rising loan interest rates that are crimping consumers’ ability to pay.It is, perhaps, no wonder that estimates have come down for Tesla from a revenue perspective in recent months.vehicle deliveriesInvestor presentationTesla has seen dips and pauses in vehicle delivery numbers in the past, but it appears to my eye that another one is a low probability. The company is seeing massive growth in China, as well as continuing to play around with U.S. pricing of its models. Much digital ink has been spilled about pricing actions from Tesla, but it seems pretty clear to me that these actions are being done out of a position of strength, not weakness.market shareInvestor presentationSo long as these lines move up and to the right, I’m not bothered with pricing actions. Every firm in every industry wants market share gains, and Tesla has them.revenue revisionsSeeking AlphaThat being said, revenue estimates are headed lower in the past several months, which is less than ideal. So long as revenue estimates are falling, the stock may struggle to make a significant move higher. However, if/when they do turn higher again, look out above in terms of the stock price.I normally would place more weight on revenue estimates, except that Tesla’s margin profile has continued to get better and better over time. What that means is that it is in a position to generate higher profitability on each dollar of revenue, and gives it the freedom to do things like cut prices. As I said, strength, not weakness.Below, we have gross and operating margins on a trailing-twelve-months basis for the past few years for some context.Both have moved sharply higher over time, but what’s interesting is that operating margins have continued to grow while gross margins have actually declined in recent quarters. In the first quarter of 2022, gross margins were 27.1% of revenue, while operating margins were 15.5%. That’s a difference of 11.6%.

However, not only does the company not burn cash any longer, but its balance sheet is absolutely outstanding.Net debt is now down to a net cash position of more than $16 billion, which has numerous benefits.

It can make acquisitions, it can invest that cash for additional income, or it can expand at whatever pace it deems necessary. That includes things like rapid expansion of gigafactories, development and refinement of new and existing models, etc. Cash used to be the single biggest issue for Tesla, but now is a massive source of strength.How has Tesla built a fortress balance sheet? Free cash flow (\"FCF\").TTM FCF is up to $7+ billion, and FCF margin is consistently in the area of 9% to 11% of revenue. These are terrific numbers, and judging by the build in cash on the balance sheet – which is happening simultaneously with factory expansion globally – it’s more than sufficient. Should these numbers decline over time, concern will reign again. But I see no cause for concern here.Finally, let’s take a look at EPS estimates, which, like revenue, don’t exactly look that great.EPS estimates have come way down since late last year, but have plateaued.

This clique comprises Facebook parent <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a></strong>, <strong>Apple</strong>, <strong>Amazon</strong>, <strong>Netflix</strong>, and Google parent <strong>Alphabet</strong>. However, even these tech giants haven&#39;t been able to escape the bear market we experienced last year.</p><p>No matter, bull runs are bound to come after downturns. And once the next bull market finally lands, the smart money is on these corporations to ride it. Two of these stocks, Amazon and Alphabet, look especially attractive compared to their peers considering they have performed much worse.</p><p>Here is why both of these FAANG stocks are worth investing in today.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6a473549222dac74166eb65e3f43218b\" alt=\"GOOG data by YCharts\" title=\"GOOG data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"500\"/><span>GOOG data by YCharts</span></p><h2>1. Amazon</h2><p>Last year was tough for Amazon as all of its main sources of revenue took a hit due to macroeconomic factors. Consumers reined in spending due to inflation, leading to lower sales than expected for its e-commerce operations. Businesses also decreased ad spending and cut back on cloud services, affecting Amazon&#39;s advertising and cloud computing units.</p><p>The result was a rare annual net loss for the e-commerce giant, which is perhaps why it underperformed other FAANG stocks over the past year. While they have all encountered their share of problems, only Amazon had red ink on the bottom line. Fortunately, the tech giant is addressing some of its issues. Most notably, Amazon has been seeking to decrease expenses and costs with several rounds of layoffs.</p><p>These initiatives should help boost the company&#39;s efficiency and net income in the short run.</p><p>But the best reason to invest in Amazon remains its long-term prospects. Amazon Web Services (AWS), the company&#39;s cloud computing unit, is the leader in this space, offering more than 200 features. As businesses continue to migrate to the cloud, AWS&#39; adoption and revenue will remain northbound. Companies increasingly rely on cloud solutions because they enhance productivity and efficiency while decreasing costs.</p><p>E-commerce is also on what should be a long and sustained upward path. Amazon also leads this industry. The company will continue to attract customers: It has built a solid brand name and reputation as a low-priced online retailer that offers one- and two-day shipping on thousands of items. Similarly, with its cloud business, Amazon has generally expanded the range of its services. The tech company is also involved in other industries, including video and music streaming, streaming devices, grocery shopping, and more.</p><p>Amazon&#39;s long history of successful investment speaks for itself. So even though Amazon&#39;s financial results should improve along with economic conditions, that&#39;s not the most important thing to look forward to with this company. Instead, investors should focus on Amazon&#39;s ability to find profitable avenues for growth, which, along with the industries it currently leads, will allow the company to ride the next bull market, whenever it comes.</p><h2>2. Alphabet</h2><p>Alphabet makes most of its money from advertising. Naturally, it has been having issues on the market for that reason alone, with investors worried about the company&#39;s prospects, at least in the short run. But there is another much-talked-about obstacle Alphabet might be facing. Namely, the rise of OpenAI&#39;s ChatGPT, a surprisingly resourceful AI chatbot that can accurately answer questions, even complex ones, and could help usher in the next step in internet search. </p><p>If Google were to lose its hold on internet search now, that would be very damaging to the company.

This clique comprises Facebook parent Meta Platforms, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google parent Alphabet. However, even these tech giants haven't been able to escape the bear market we experienced last year.No matter, bull runs are bound to come after downturns. And once the next bull market finally lands, the smart money is on these corporations to ride it. Two of these stocks, Amazon and Alphabet, look especially attractive compared to their peers considering they have performed much worse.Here is why both of these FAANG stocks are worth investing in today.GOOG data by YCharts1. AmazonLast year was tough for Amazon as all of its main sources of revenue took a hit due to macroeconomic factors. Consumers reined in spending due to inflation, leading to lower sales than expected for its e-commerce operations. Businesses also decreased ad spending and cut back on cloud services, affecting Amazon's advertising and cloud computing units.The result was a rare annual net loss for the e-commerce giant, which is perhaps why it underperformed other FAANG stocks over the past year. While they have all encountered their share of problems, only Amazon had red ink on the bottom line. Fortunately, the tech giant is addressing some of its issues. Most notably, Amazon has been seeking to decrease expenses and costs with several rounds of layoffs.These initiatives should help boost the company's efficiency and net income in the short run.But the best reason to invest in Amazon remains its long-term prospects. Amazon Web Services (AWS), the company's cloud computing unit, is the leader in this space, offering more than 200 features. As businesses continue to migrate to the cloud, AWS' adoption and revenue will remain northbound. Companies increasingly rely on cloud solutions because they enhance productivity and efficiency while decreasing costs.E-commerce is also on what should be a long and sustained upward path. Amazon also leads this industry. The company will continue to attract customers: It has built a solid brand name and reputation as a low-priced online retailer that offers one- and two-day shipping on thousands of items. Similarly, with its cloud business, Amazon has generally expanded the range of its services. The tech company is also involved in other industries, including video and music streaming, streaming devices, grocery shopping, and more.Amazon's long history of successful investment speaks for itself. So even though Amazon's financial results should improve along with economic conditions, that's not the most important thing to look forward to with this company. Instead, investors should focus on Amazon's ability to find profitable avenues for growth, which, along with the industries it currently leads, will allow the company to ride the next bull market, whenever it comes.2. AlphabetAlphabet makes most of its money from advertising. Naturally, it has been having issues on the market for that reason alone, with investors worried about the company's prospects, at least in the short run. But there is another much-talked-about obstacle Alphabet might be facing. Namely, the rise of OpenAI's ChatGPT, a surprisingly resourceful AI chatbot that can accurately answer questions, even complex ones, and could help usher in the next step in internet search. If Google were to lose its hold on internet search now, that would be very damaging to the company. While this issue is worth monitoring, Alphabet moved quickly to unveil its rival AI chatbot, called Bard. Yes, the unveiling of Bard was a disappointment. But the point is that Alphabet has been an adept innovator for two decades. The company is aware of this challenge to its empire and is working diligently to develop a solution.In my view, the smart money is on Alphabet successfully doing so.Meanwhile, the tech giant is still diversifying its revenue stream to be less reliant on Google, something it has been doing for a while. It is also one of the leaders in the cloud computing industry through Google Cloud. Alphabet is pouncing onto the rising video streaming market through YouTube. These opportunities still represent a small portion of the company's total revenue, but there is a long runway for growth ahead in both cases.For instance, streaming accounted for just 34.3% of television viewing time in the U.S. in February.

Looking at Alphabet's operations and innovative capabilities, the company is far from dead, even considering the challenge from ChatGPT. Google remains the leading search engine while the company joins the artificial intelligence frenzy and continues to diversify its operations. That's why Alphabet's stock remains a buy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":189,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9941662461,"gmtCreate":1680197524253,"gmtModify":1680197528086,"author":{"id":"4128899324677872","authorId":"4128899324677872","name":"NKCT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tq

Central Provident Fund (CPF) scheme is a great way to save for your retirement.</p><p>These savings are invested in Special Singapore Government Securities that are guaranteed by the government, giving you a safety net for your retirement funds.</p><p>Your CPF Ordinary Account (OA) provides a nearly risk-free interest rate of 2.5% per annum.</p><p>However, with Singapore’s core inflation averaging around 4% last year, your OA savings risk losing their purchasing power.</p><p>The good news is that you can invest your CPFOA balance to enjoy a higher return.</p><p>Here are three dividend-paying Singapore stocks that can help to give your OA account a boost to beat inflation.</p><p><b>Civmec Limited (SGX: P9D)</b></p><p>Civmec is an Australian integrated construction and engineering services provider that caters to the energy, resources, infrastructure, and marine sectors.</p><p>The group recently released an encouraging set of earnings for its fiscal 2023’s first half (1H FY2023).</p><p>Revenue crept up 7.6% year on year to A$418.9 million while net profit jumped 25.1% year on year to S$28.3 million.</p><p>This good performance represents the seventh consecutive half-year that saw a year-on-year net profit increase.</p><p>Civmec also reported a positive operating cash flow of A$67.2 million, reversing the negative operating cash flow of A$20.6 million in 1H FY2022.</p><p>Free cash flow for 1H FY2023 came in at A$60.4 million.</p><p>In light of the good results, Civmec has doubled its interim dividend from A$0.01 to A$0.02.</p><p>Coupled with its FY2022 final dividend of A$0.02, the total trailing dividend stands at A$0.04, giving the group’s shares a trailing 12-month dividend yield of 5.6%.</p><p>Civmec saw its order book expand by 13.4% to A$1.2 billion from A$1 billion six months ago.</p><p>The group sees good visibility on upcoming client projects and is targeting steady and sustainable growth for both its top and bottom

largest private healthcare services providers for women and children in Singapore.</p><p>The group owns and operates Thomson Medical Centre along with a network of specialist clinics offering diagnostics, health screening, dentistry and gynaecological services.</p><p>For 1H FY2023, revenue jumped 26.6% year on year to S$184 million.</p><p>Revenue growth was driven by expanded capacity in Kuala Lumpur along with project-related services.</p><p>Operating profit jumped 46.4% year on year while net profit soared 82.6% year on year to S$22.8 million.</p><p>For the period, TMG also generated a free cash flow of S$46.1 million, more than double the S$19.6 million that was churned out a year ago.</p><p>For FY2022, the board paid out a special dividend of S$0.00115, more than seven times the S$0.00015 it paid out in FY2021.</p><p>TMG’s shares offer a trailing dividend yield of 1.6%.</p><p>Dr Melvin Heng, CEO of TMG, believes that the group will continue to do well as deferred elective procedures are now being performed.</p><p><b>Japan Foods Holdings (SGX: 5OI)</b></p><p>Japan Foods is a leading Japanese restaurant chain in Singapore and operates 60 restaurants under brands such as “Ajisen Ramen” and “Menya Musashi” as of 30 September 2022.</p><p>With the recovery from pandemic restrictions, the group reported a much healthier top and bottom line for 1H

with the introduction of its latest Halal brand “Kyoto Shokudo” in October last year.</p><p>With this opening, Japan Foods’ total Halal brand offerings increase to 13, up from just six as of 1H FY2022.</p><p>In addition, the easing of the pandemic has also allowed the group to resume its overseas expansion with the debut of its first Japanese restaurant in Tokyo back in August 2022.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1602567310727","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta

understand that the Central Provident Fund (CPF) scheme is a great way to save for your retirement.These savings are invested in Special Singapore Government Securities that are guaranteed by the government, giving you a safety net for your retirement funds.Your CPF Ordinary Account (OA) provides a nearly risk-free interest rate of 2.5% per annum.However, with Singapore’s core inflation averaging around 4% last year, your OA savings risk losing their purchasing power.The good news is that you can invest your CPFOA balance to enjoy a higher return.Here are three dividend-paying Singapore stocks that can help to give your OA account a boost to beat inflation.Civmec Limited (SGX: P9D)Civmec is an Australian integrated construction and engineering services provider that caters to the energy, resources, infrastructure, and marine sectors.The group recently released an encouraging set of earnings for its fiscal 2023’s first half (1H FY2023).Revenue crept up 7.6% year on year to A$418.9 million while net profit jumped 25.1% year on year to S$28.3 million.This good performance represents the seventh consecutive half-year that saw a year-on-year net profit increase.Civmec also reported a positive operating cash flow of A$67.2 million, reversing the negative operating cash flow of A$20.6 million in 1H FY2022.Free cash flow for 1H FY2023 came in at A$60.4 million.In light of the good results, Civmec has doubled its interim dividend from A$0.01 to A$0.02.Coupled with its FY2022 final dividend of A$0.02, the total trailing dividend stands at A$0.04, giving the group’s shares a trailing 12-month dividend yield of 5.6%.Civmec saw its order book expand by 13.4% to A$1.2 billion from A$1 billion six months ago.The group sees good visibility on upcoming client projects and is targeting steady and sustainable growth for both its top and bottom lines.According to publicly available information, Civmec’s total addressable market stands at around ~A$330 billion across the sectors it operates throughout Australia up till FY2025.Thomson Medical Group (SGX: A50)If you’re looking for a recession-resistant sector, look no further than healthcare.Thomson Medical Group, or TMG, is one of the largest private healthcare services providers for women and children in Singapore.The group owns and operates Thomson Medical Centre along with a network of specialist clinics offering diagnostics, health screening, dentistry and gynaecological services.For 1H FY2023, revenue jumped 26.6% year on year to S$184 million.Revenue growth was driven by expanded capacity in Kuala Lumpur along with project-related services.Operating profit jumped 46.4% year on year while net profit soared 82.6% year on year to S$22.8 million.For the period, TMG also generated a free cash flow of S$46.1 million, more than double the S$19.6 million that was churned out a year ago.For FY2022, the board paid out a special dividend of S$0.00115, more than seven times the S$0.00015 it paid out in FY2021.TMG’s shares offer a trailing dividend yield of 1.6%.Dr Melvin Heng, CEO of TMG, believes that the group will continue to do well as deferred elective procedures are now being performed.Japan Foods Holdings (SGX: 5OI)Japan Foods is a leading Japanese restaurant chain in Singapore and operates 60 restaurants under brands such as “Ajisen Ramen” and “Menya Musashi” as of 30 September 2022.With the recovery from pandemic restrictions, the group reported a much healthier top and bottom line for 1H FY2023.Revenue surged 79% year on year to S$38 million with gross profit climbing nearly 81% year on year to S$32.2 million.Net profit clocked in at S$2.3 million, reversing the net loss of S$1.6 million in 1H FY2022.Japan Foods doubled its interim dividend from S$0.005 to S$0.01 in light of these strong numbers.Together with the group’s FY2022 final dividend of S$0.0135, the trailing 12-month dividend stood at S$0.0235, giving the food and beverage operator’s shares a trailing dividend yield of 5.6%.The group continued to expand its Halal franchise with the introduction of its latest Halal brand “Kyoto Shokudo” in October last year.With this opening, Japan Foods’ total Halal brand offerings increase to 13, up from just six as of 1H FY2022.In addition, the easing of the pandemic has also allowed the group to resume its overseas expansion with the debut of its first Japanese restaurant in Tokyo back in August 2022.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":125,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9954879109,"gmtCreate":1676276812502,"gmtModify":1676276817060,"author":{"id":"4128899324677872","authorId":"4128899324677872","name":"NKCT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👌","listText":"👌","text":"👌","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9954879109","repostId":"2311499866","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2311499866","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow

Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, is expected to rise 0.3% in January, with the year-over-year rate at 5.4% versus 5.7% in December.Jay Hatfield, chief executive at Infrastructure Capital Management, said he is concerned that the core CPI might print hotter than expected.\"What's been driving inflation down has been the volatile component of used cars. And our data shows used cars inflation is actually going up and not down,\" Hatfield said. Meanwhile, the way that the Bureau of Labor Statistics calculates shelter costs tends to lead the number to print higher, Hatfield said.Louis Navellier, founder and chief investment officer at Navellier & Associates, said he is paying particular attention to owners' equivalent rent, which is part of the shelter component of CPI. It's rise accelerated from November to December and the Fed \"really does want to see that fall, because that's the last bit of inflation we need to fall,\" Navellier said.Horizon's Ladner, on the other hand, said that the Fed itself had signaled that housing inflation would remain sticky, thus it is unlikely to pay much attention to it. Ladner said he is mostly focused on non-housing services-related inflation. \"There's a lot of clarity on what's happening with goods inflation -- it's obviously coming down,\" Ladner said.Complicating the picture, the January report will see the Bureau of Labor Statistics introduce new weightings for its calculation of the CPI for the coming year. For this year, the bureau has changed its methodology from using consumption data during a two-year period to only one year to weight the CPI components.It means that the 2023 CPI report will be only based on expenditure data in 2021, when the spending was more heavily weighted toward goods consumption instead of services, according to Richard de Chazal, macro analyst at William Blair.The January data will in turn also be weighted more towards goods expenditures, which had been moderating, de Chazal wrote in a Friday note.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":252,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9954844716,"gmtCreate":1676274776646,"gmtModify":1676274780286,"author":{"id":"4128899324677872","authorId":"4128899324677872","name":"NKCT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👌","listText":"👌","text":"👌","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9954844716","repostId":"2311491121","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2311491121","pubTimestamp":1676268069,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2311491121?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-02-13 14:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AI Wars: 3 Dividend Stocks That Profit No Matter Who Wins","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2311491121","media":"Seekingalpha","summary":"AI is the talk of the town these days.

So far, Microsoft appears to be in the lead, having bought a $10 billion stake in OpenAI (a third of the company) and launched a chatbot demo that is wowing reviewers.</p><p>The competition between Microsoft and Google led to a steep selloff in Google shares. Google initially gained from the AI hype, rallying 7.3% on February 3, but it gave up the gains when a demo of its ChatBot produced an incorrect answer and Satya Nadella predicted that the company’s margins would drop.</p><p>It’s not clear right now who will “win” the AI arms race. Nadella’s claims about Google’s margins are certainly bold. <b>Morgan Stanley</b> (MS) recently estimated that working an LLM into Google would cause a $6 billion hit to EBIT, as LLMs tax servers more than search does. However, these estimates are, for now, just estimates.</p><p>How the “AI wars” will turn out is anybody’s guess. I’m pretty much neutral on it: I hold some Google, I used to hold Microsoft but sold it on valuation concerns. The price I sold MSFT at was much higher than today’s price, so my not holding it now isn’t a vote against buying it.</p><p>One thing I know for sure is that there are ways to get into the AI space without buying companies locked into fierce competitive struggle. If you’re willing to look at indirect AI plays–semiconductor companies, banks and others–you can find companies that profit off AI without being forced into a competitive steel cage match. In this article I will explore three dividend stocks that profit off of AI without facing the intense competition that characterizes the space.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSM\">Taiwan Semiconductor </a></h2><p>Taiwan Semiconductor is a dividend stock with a 1.91% yield. The company is probably the most obvious beneficiary of the AI wars that’s not named OpenAI. Microsoft, Google, and <b>Meta</b> (META) are all competing intensely with each other for eyeballs, advertiser dollars and other highly sought after prizes. This competition is the sort of thing that shrinks margins. It’s just the opposite with semiconductor foundries. Semiconductors are crucial to running the massive data centers that AI requires; the more advanced the AI, the more chips are needed to run it. TSM currently owns 60% of the foundry space, and if you look at how costly it is for a company to ramp up its foundry capabilities, you’ll see that TSM could easily hold its high share.</p><p>The source of TSM’s moat is the sheer cost of its operations. To make semiconductors you need <b>ASML’s</b> (ASML) EUV lithography machines, and they cost up to $300 million each. Just getting your hands on one of them is a major capital expenditure. So while companies may wish to compete with TSM, they will have to incur great costs to do so.</p><p>Take <b>Intel</b> (INTC) for example. It recently launched a foundry that competes with TSM, but it’s still nowhere near TSM’s market share. It has spent a lot of money on this business ($19 billion in 2021 alone), yet it’s still seeing its earnings decline. TSM by contrast was still growing its revenue last quarter and trades at just 14.5 times earnings and 8.61 times operating cash flow. A high moat AI-beneficiary stock that investors can trust.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JPM\">JPMorgan Chase </a></h2><p>JPMorgan is a name you might be surprised to see on this list. Banks are not exactly known for being big players in AI, but this specific bank is. JPMorgan spends more money on AI research than any of its peers. It’s ranked #1 in AI adoption among 150 peer banks. And, its AI investments are paying off. Just recently, the bank announced that AI managed to do 360,000 hours&#39; worth of filing work in just a few seconds, saving JPM massively on labor costs. Obviously, this kind of thing will work wonders for JPM’s margins.</p><p>The story doesn’t end there. In addition to being a lender, JPM is also an investment bank, and the company’s AI investments could lead to benefits for that segment. When you underwrite deals and IPOs, it helps to understand the industry you’re working with, and JPMorgan would appear to have some “domain knowledge” that could be useful here. Will OpenAI go public? Will <b>Tesla</b> (TSLA) spin off its full-self driving unit to the public? Nobody knows the answers to those questions just now, but if such deals ever were to take place, it would help these companies to have a banker that knows about AI. So, JPMorgan could benefit from future deal-making in the AI space.</p><p>And what about JPMorgan’s overall business? As I’ve written in previous articles about banking stocks, banks can often benefit in periods when rates rise, like the one we’re in now. The effect isn’t guaranteed: inverted yield curves and recessions can offset the margin-boosting effect of high rates. However, JPMorgan is only trading at 11.7 times earnings and 4.55 times operating cash flow right now, so it looks like some risk is already priced in. Additionally, the stock has a 2.84% yield and a mere 33% payout ratio, so the yield is higher than that of the S&amp;P 500 despite being very safe.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MU\">Micron Technology </a></h2><p>Last but not least, we have Micron Technology. This is a dividend stock that I held in the past but sold recently. The yield on this stock is only 0.74%, and it has no dividend growth, making it far from a “high yield” dividend opportunity. But what it lacks in yield it makes up for in potential. Micron sells chips, like TSM does, but it only sells RAM and NAND Flash. RAM is short term memory; NAND Flash is a type of long term storage. The data centers that AI runs on require copious amounts of this stuff. This year, the prices of RAM and NAND Flash are going down, and that’s causing Micron’s revenue to decline. It guided for a loss in its upcoming quarter. These issues are among the reasons I recently sold my Micron shares. However, the stock remains relatively cheap, trading at 10.75 times earnings, 1.36 times book value, and 5.36 times operating cash flow, and it could see prices pick up steam again if AI leads to a surge in Data Center demand. I can’t vouch for this stock as strongly as I can the other two on this list, but it is a dividend stock that makes money selling to AI companies, so it merits inclusion.</p><h2>The Bottom Line</h2><p>The bottom line on AI is that it’s very much like a gold rush now, and history teaches that in gold rushes, you want to be selling the shovels, not prospecting. The competition for AI leadership is fierce, and nobody really knows who will win in the end. What we know with certainty is that chip companies will make money selling to AI companies, and that investment banks will profit off of deal making in the space. Perhaps these companies are safer investments than the companies that are directly throwing themselves into the competitive fray.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>AI Wars: 3 Dividend Stocks That Profit No Matter Who Wins</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nAI Wars: 3 Dividend Stocks That Profit No Matter Who Wins\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-02-13 14:01 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4577670-3-dividend-stocks-profit-artificial-intelligence-wars-tsm-jpm-mu><strong>Seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>AI is the talk of the town these days.

They&#39;ve historically produced higher total returns than nonpayers, with less volatility. Meanwhile, the best performance has traditionally come from dividend growers and initiators. </p><p>Three dividend stocks that offer an exceptional combination of income and growth are <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BAM\">Brookfield Asset Management </a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AVGO\">Broadcom </a>, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CPT\">Camden Property Trust </a>. They all pay a dividend yielding more than 3% (nearly double the <b>S&amp;P 500</b>&#39;s 1.6% dividend yield) that they should grow at attractive rates in the future. </p><h2>High-powered dividend growth ahead</h2><p>Brookfield Asset Management recently became public after its parent, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BAM\">Brookfield Corporation </a>, spun out a 25% stake in its asset management business and distributed it to shareholders. Brookfield Asset Management immediately initiated a dividend, which yields about 3.8% at the company&#39;s recent share price. </p><p>Brookfield Asset Management expects to grow that already attractive payout at a 15% to 20% compound annual rate over the next several years. That aligns with the expected growth in its fee-related earnings as the company invests capital raised by investors in its various funds. It raised a record $93 billion in capital from investors last year, giving it lots of visibility into the future growth of its management fees. </p><p>The company continues to launch new flagship funds and expand into new categories. Last year, it raised $22 billion for its fifth flagship infrastructure fund and $9 billion for its sixth flagship private equity fund. Meanwhile, it recently launched its first energy transition fund, raising $15 billion. The company expects to raise new funds, which should drive strong fee-related earnings growth to support its plan to rapidly increase its already sizable dividend. </p><h2>A big-time dividend growth stock</h2><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AVGO\">Broadcom</a> currently yields slightly more than 3%. The semiconductor supplier and infrastructure software solutions company has an excellent track record of growing its dividend. It recently increased its payout by 12%, marking its 12th straight year of growth since initiating a dividend in 2011. It has delivered eye-popping growth since making that first payment: </p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/411fb4a52a750e6f1fbbf4477b334ba9\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>AVGO Dividend data by YCharts</p><p>The company&#39;s dividend policy sees it pay out 50% of its prior fiscal year&#39;s free cash flow to shareholders via the dividend. It uses the other half to maintain a strong balance sheet, finance growth, and repurchase shares. </p><p>The company should be able to continue growing its free cash flow and dividend in the future. It&#39;s working to accelerate its software scale and growth opportunities by acquiring <b>VMWare</b> (VMW) for $61 billion of cash and stock. The company hopes to close that deal this year, which should help drive growth over the next few years. </p><h2>A great home for dividend seekers</h2><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CPT\">Camden Property</a> currently yields 3.2%. The apartment REIT recently declared its latest dividend payment, giving investors a 6.4% raise compared to the prior payout level. That continued its steady growth: </p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab13f48236f9d5707137967bdf1aabdb\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"515\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Image source: Camden Property Trust Investor Relations Presentation. </p><p>With its latest raise, Camden has more than doubled its dividend payment since 2011.</p><p>The apartment owner should be able to continue growing its payout in the future. It focuses on owning apartment communities in the fastest-growing cities in the country&#39;s southern half that benefit from above-average employment and population growth rates. That drives demand for apartments, keeps occupancy rates high, and pushes strong rent growth.</p><p>Camden Property also benefits from its investments to grow its portfolio. The REIT is investing $661 million to construct six more rental communities, including two single-family home rental communities. It also has the land bank to build several more communities in top markets as demand grows. The company has ample liquidity to fund new investments, with $1.2 billion in cash and borrowing capacity on its credit line and only $306.7 million left to finance in its current construction pipeline.

They've historically produced higher total returns than nonpayers, with less volatility. Meanwhile, the best performance has traditionally come from dividend growers and initiators. Three dividend stocks that offer an exceptional combination of income and growth are Brookfield Asset Management , Broadcom , and Camden Property Trust . They all pay a dividend yielding more than 3% (nearly double the S&P 500's 1.6% dividend yield) that they should grow at attractive rates in the future. High-powered dividend growth aheadBrookfield Asset Management recently became public after its parent, Brookfield Corporation , spun out a 25% stake in its asset management business and distributed it to shareholders. Brookfield Asset Management immediately initiated a dividend, which yields about 3.8% at the company's recent share price. Brookfield Asset Management expects to grow that already attractive payout at a 15% to 20% compound annual rate over the next several years. That aligns with the expected growth in its fee-related earnings as the company invests capital raised by investors in its various funds. It raised a record $93 billion in capital from investors last year, giving it lots of visibility into the future growth of its management fees. The company continues to launch new flagship funds and expand into new categories. Last year, it raised $22 billion for its fifth flagship infrastructure fund and $9 billion for its sixth flagship private equity fund. Meanwhile, it recently launched its first energy transition fund, raising $15 billion. The company expects to raise new funds, which should drive strong fee-related earnings growth to support its plan to rapidly increase its already sizable dividend. A big-time dividend growth stockBroadcom currently yields slightly more than 3%. The semiconductor supplier and infrastructure software solutions company has an excellent track record of growing its dividend. It recently increased its payout by 12%, marking its 12th straight year of growth since initiating a dividend in 2011. It has delivered eye-popping growth since making that first payment: AVGO Dividend data by YChartsThe company's dividend policy sees it pay out 50% of its prior fiscal year's free cash flow to shareholders via the dividend. It uses the other half to maintain a strong balance sheet, finance growth, and repurchase shares. The company should be able to continue growing its free cash flow and dividend in the future. It's working to accelerate its software scale and growth opportunities by acquiring VMWare (VMW) for $61 billion of cash and stock. The company hopes to close that deal this year, which should help drive growth over the next few years. A great home for dividend seekersCamden Property currently yields 3.2%. The apartment REIT recently declared its latest dividend payment, giving investors a 6.4% raise compared to the prior payout level. That continued its steady growth: Image source: Camden Property Trust Investor Relations Presentation. With its latest raise, Camden has more than doubled its dividend payment since 2011.The apartment owner should be able to continue growing its payout in the future. It focuses on owning apartment communities in the fastest-growing cities in the country's southern half that benefit from above-average employment and population growth rates. That drives demand for apartments, keeps occupancy rates high, and pushes strong rent growth.Camden Property also benefits from its investments to grow its portfolio. The REIT is investing $661 million to construct six more rental communities, including two single-family home rental communities. It also has the land bank to build several more communities in top markets as demand grows. The company has ample liquidity to fund new investments, with $1.2 billion in cash and borrowing capacity on its credit line and only $306.7 million left to finance in its current construction pipeline. Along with rent growth, these developments should help increase its FFO, enabling Camden to continue growing its dividend. Top-tier dividend stocksBrookfield Asset Management, Broadcom, and Camden Property Trust offer investors the best of both worlds. They pay high-yielding dividends that should grow at attractive rates in the coming years. That makes them exceptional dividend stocks to buy without hesitation right now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":51,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9954112082,"gmtCreate":1676081039646,"gmtModify":1676081044404,"author":{"id":"4128899324677872","authorId":"4128899324677872","name":"NKCT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👌","listText":"👌","text":"👌","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9954112082","repostId":"1166661028","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1166661028","pubTimestamp":1676073476,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1166661028?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-02-11 07:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. Weekly Review: Stock Market Pulls Back As Treasury Yields Jump; Google Dives On AI Flop","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1166661028","media":"Investor's Business Daily","summary":"The stock market rally extended a pullback from a Feb. 2 high, with the major indexes testing some k","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The stock market rally extended a pullback from a Feb. 2 high, with the major indexes testing some key levels late in the week.

Cloudflare (NET), <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FTNT\">Fortinet</a> (FTNT), BP (BP) and On Semiconductor (ON) were earnings winners.</p><h3>Market Rally Retreats</h3><p>The major indexes retreated while the Russell 2000 declined significantly, starting to test some key levels after a strong market advance. This could be a normal, healthy pullback or the start of something more. The 10-year Treasury yield jumped and the dollar strengthened. Crude oil prices rebounded.</p><h3>Google Dives As AI War Heats Up</h3><p>Microsoft (MSFT) and Google-parent <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOOGL\">Alphabet</a> (GOOGL) hosted media events highlighting artificial intelligence initiatives and investments. Analysts said Microsoft came out ahead in terms of describing its product strategy and showcasing ChatGPT technology from OpenAI. Microsoft announced that it is integrating the technology behind ChatGPT into its Bing search engine and web browser. Microsoft is the biggest investor in OpenAI. Google announced Bard, its conversational AI chatbot. Google&#39;s press event disappointed with little new news and an advertisement for Bard featured an inaccurate chatbot response. There&#39;s also a concern that Google, given its huge search engine market share, will have to spend massively to run Bard. Meanwhile, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CAAS\">China</a>&#39;s <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BIDU\">Baidu</a> (BIDU) said it will launch an AI chatbot, called Ernie, to the public in March. Google stock plunged. MSFT and Baidu rose, but pared weekly gains. Various AI plays reversed lower after huge gains in recent weeks.</p><h3><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PI\">Impinj</a>, Monolithic Guide Higher</h3><p>Onsemi (ON) and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SWKS\">Skyworks Solutions</a> (SWKS) joined the parade of chipmakers guiding lower for the March quarter after delivering in line or better sales and earnings for the December quarter. Meanwhile, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/RMBS\">Rambus</a> (RMBS) matched views for the fourth quarter and withdrew its outlook. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DIOD\">Diodes</a> (DIOD) beat estimates and gave in-line guidance. But fabless chipmakers Impinj (PI) and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MPWR\">Monolithic Power</a> Systems (MPWR) each guided higher for first-quarter sales after delivering better-than-expected fourth-quarter results. All of these stocks rose solidly except for PI stock.</p><h3>BP Jumps On <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FOSL\">Fossil</a> Fuel Vision</h3><p>The U.K. energy giant reported a 29% EPS gain, just missing, while revenue rose 33% to $69.3 billion. But BP (BP) spiked higher, breaking out to a three-year high, after downshifting an aggressive move toward renewables. The U.K.-based energy giant anticipates oil and gas production to be around 2.3 million barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2025. By 2030, BP expects to be producing 2 million. That would be 25% below BP&#39;s 2019 production, but much higher than its prior goal of a 40% cut. BP CEO Bernard Looney has also said the goal is to increase alternative energy investments to around 50% of total capital spending by 2030. Shell (SHEL), which also has signaled more fossil fuels recently, flirted with a breakout.</p><h3>Disney Earnings Top, Proxy Fight Over</h3><p>Disney (DIS) reported a 7% EPS decline while revenue grew 8% to $23.5 billion, both beating. Disney+ subscribers fell vs. the prior quarter, but North America customers actually edged up. The entertainment giant announced plans to cut 7,000 jobs, or 3%, as part of a large-scale reorganization. It aims to cut $5.5 billion in costs, including $3 billion from content. Following the earnings and restructuring plan, activist investor Nelson Peltz called off his proxy battle vs. Disney.</p><h3>Cybersecurity Software</h3><p>Fortinet (FTNT) reported Q4 earnings jumped 76%, beating views. Revenue climbed 33% to $1.28 billion, just below consensus. But billings topped forecasts and so did the 2023 revenue outlook. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CYBR\">CyberArk</a> Software (CYBR) reported a 43% EPS decline, beating, while a 12% revenue gain fell short. Tenable (TENB) and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QLYS\">Qualys</a> (QLYS) topped consensus.</p><h3>Human Capital Software Makers Top</h3><p>Ceridian (CDAY) reported EPS up 156% from a year earlier while revenue rose 19% to $336.1 million. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PAYC\">Paycom</a> Software (PAYC) reported EPS swelled 56% with revenue climbing 30% to $370. 6 million. CDAY jumped, clearing a buy zone. But PAYC stock tumbled.</p><h3>Cloudflare Growth Speedy</h3><p>Cloudflare (NET) reported 6 cents a share, up 500% from a 1 cent a year earlier. Revenue rose 42%, also slightly topping. The software maker also guided slightly higher on 2023 results. Cloudflare speeds up and provides security for web applications routed through its intelligent global network. It has ties with ChatGPT creator OpenAI. NET rose solidly.</p><h3>Database Software Stocks Jump</h3><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NEWR\">New Relic</a> (NEWR) spiked as quarterly results soundly beat estimates on the top and bottom lines.

It also gave bullish guidance.</p><h3>Travel Firms Bullish On Demand</h3><p>Travel companies report Q4 results and 2023 guidance that varied, but agreed that travel should remain strong. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HLT\">Hilton</a> Worldwide (HLT) and Hertz (HTZ) both topped expectations. Hilton&#39;s adjusted earnings more than doubled with revenue up 33%, though top-line growth has been slowing. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/RGLD\">Royal</a> Caribbean (RCL) posted a better-than-expected loss, but was just shy on revenue predictions. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WYNN\">Wynn</a> Resorts (WYNN) and MGM Resorts (MGM) both reported big Q4 losses, but the Macau-focused gaming giants impressed with strong revenue growth. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a> (EXPE) missed estimates but gave a solid guidance of double-digit top-line and bottom-line growth for 2023. But EXPE tumbled Friday, weighing on other travel plays.</p><h3>Chipotle Misses, But <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/YUM\">Yum</a> Stock Looks Tasty</h3><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CMG\">Chipotle Mexican Grill</a> (CMG) reported EPS up 49%, revenue up 11.2% and same-store sales 5.6%, but all missed fourth-quarter estimates as consumers tightened spending. Last year, Chipotle hiked menu prices amid food and wage cost inflation. CMG stock fell back below a buy zone. Yum Brands (YUM) scored an overall beat, led by Taco Bell. EPS grew 28% while Yum also raised its dividend. Shares jumped, flirting a breakout. Yum China (YUMC) popped amid strong earnings, though sales missed.</p><h3>CVS To Buy <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OSH\">Oak Street Health</a></h3><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVS\">CVS Health</a> (CVS) will pay $10.6 billion, including debt, for the primary care center operator for older adults. Oak Street Health (OSH), which already gapped up in early January on reports of a deal, spiked higher again. CVS also reported Q4 EPS rose by a penny to $1.99, ahead of estimates. But the midpoint of its 2023 guidance was below Wall Street consensus. CVS stock jumped, but from 52-week lows.</p><h3><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/UBER\">Uber</a> Jumps On Surprise Profit; Lyft Crashes</h3><p>Uber (UBER) reported a gain vs. an expected loss, while the ride-hailing and food delivery app giant sees bookings stepping up in Q1. Shares jumped. But Lyft (LYFT) dived on an unexpectedly big loss and weak revenue guidance.</p><h3><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NWS\">News</a> In Brief</h3><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VRTX\">Vertex Pharmaceuticals</a> (VRTX) sank on lacking near-term catalysts, though adjusted earnings beat views with a 25% gain. Sales grew 11% to $2.3 billion, in line with expectations.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INSP\">Inspire Medical Systems</a> (INSP) jumped as it turned profitable and sales rocketed 76% to $137.9 million.</p><p>Dexcom (DXCM) earnings rebounded, easily beating Q4 views, while sales grew 17% for the diabetes products giant. .</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ABBV\">AbbVie</a> (ABBV) popped on a better-than-feared outlook for 2023 profit.

But concerns about near-term U.S. demand send stocks reversing sharply lower.</p><p>Pinterest (PINS) plunged as EPS topped views but revenue growth slowed again, below estimates. The social media firm also gave a weak revenue outlook.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1610612141385","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>U.S. Weekly Review: Stock Market Pulls Back As Treasury Yields Jump; Google Dives On AI Flop</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nU.S. Weekly Review: Stock Market Pulls Back As Treasury Yields Jump; Google Dives On AI Flop\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-02-11 07:57 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.investors.com/news/stock-market-pulls-back-treasury-yields-jump-google-dives-on-ai-flop/><strong>Investor's Business Daily</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The stock market rally extended a pullback from a Feb. 2 high, with the major indexes testing some key levels late in the week.

Various AI plays reversed lower after huge gains in recent weeks.Impinj, Monolithic Guide HigherOnsemi (ON) and Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) joined the parade of chipmakers guiding lower for the March quarter after delivering in line or better sales and earnings for the December quarter. Meanwhile, Rambus (RMBS) matched views for the fourth quarter and withdrew its outlook. Diodes (DIOD) beat estimates and gave in-line guidance. But fabless chipmakers Impinj (PI) and Monolithic Power Systems (MPWR) each guided higher for first-quarter sales after delivering better-than-expected fourth-quarter results. All of these stocks rose solidly except for PI stock.BP Jumps On Fossil Fuel VisionThe U.K. energy giant reported a 29% EPS gain, just missing, while revenue rose 33% to $69.3 billion. But BP (BP) spiked higher, breaking out to a three-year high, after downshifting an aggressive move toward renewables. The U.K.-based energy giant anticipates oil and gas production to be around 2.3 million barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2025. By 2030, BP expects to be producing 2 million. That would be 25% below BP's 2019 production, but much higher than its prior goal of a 40% cut. BP CEO Bernard Looney has also said the goal is to increase alternative energy investments to around 50% of total capital spending by 2030. Shell (SHEL), which also has signaled more fossil fuels recently, flirted with a breakout.Disney Earnings Top, Proxy Fight OverDisney (DIS) reported a 7% EPS decline while revenue grew 8% to $23.5 billion, both beating. Disney+ subscribers fell vs. the prior quarter, but North America customers actually edged up. The entertainment giant announced plans to cut 7,000 jobs, or 3%, as part of a large-scale reorganization. It aims to cut $5.5 billion in costs, including $3 billion from content. Following the earnings and restructuring plan, activist investor Nelson Peltz called off his proxy battle vs. Disney.Cybersecurity SoftwareFortinet (FTNT) reported Q4 earnings jumped 76%, beating views. Revenue climbed 33% to $1.28 billion, just below consensus. But billings topped forecasts and so did the 2023 revenue outlook. CyberArk Software (CYBR) reported a 43% EPS decline, beating, while a 12% revenue gain fell short. Tenable (TENB) and Qualys (QLYS) topped consensus.Human Capital Software Makers TopCeridian (CDAY) reported EPS up 156% from a year earlier while revenue rose 19% to $336.1 million. Paycom Software (PAYC) reported EPS swelled 56% with revenue climbing 30% to $370. 6 million. CDAY jumped, clearing a buy zone. But PAYC stock tumbled.Cloudflare Growth SpeedyCloudflare (NET) reported 6 cents a share, up 500% from a 1 cent a year earlier. Revenue rose 42%, also slightly topping. The software maker also guided slightly higher on 2023 results. Cloudflare speeds up and provides security for web applications routed through its intelligent global network. It has ties with ChatGPT creator OpenAI. NET rose solidly.Database Software Stocks JumpNew Relic (NEWR) spiked as quarterly results soundly beat estimates on the top and bottom lines. The data analytics software maker says it's attracting new customers at a rapid pace. Alteryx (AYX) easily beats views, swinging to a profit while revenue swelled 73%. It also gave bullish guidance.Travel Firms Bullish On DemandTravel companies report Q4 results and 2023 guidance that varied, but agreed that travel should remain strong. Hilton Worldwide (HLT) and Hertz (HTZ) both topped expectations. Hilton's adjusted earnings more than doubled with revenue up 33%, though top-line growth has been slowing. Royal Caribbean (RCL) posted a better-than-expected loss, but was just shy on revenue predictions. Wynn Resorts (WYNN) and MGM Resorts (MGM) both reported big Q4 losses, but the Macau-focused gaming giants impressed with strong revenue growth. Expedia (EXPE) missed estimates but gave a solid guidance of double-digit top-line and bottom-line growth for 2023. But EXPE tumbled Friday, weighing on other travel plays.Chipotle Misses, But Yum Stock Looks TastyChipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) reported EPS up 49%, revenue up 11.2% and same-store sales 5.6%, but all missed fourth-quarter estimates as consumers tightened spending. Last year, Chipotle hiked menu prices amid food and wage cost inflation. CMG stock fell back below a buy zone. Yum Brands (YUM) scored an overall beat, led by Taco Bell. EPS grew 28% while Yum also raised its dividend. Shares jumped, flirting a breakout. Yum China (YUMC) popped amid strong earnings, though sales missed.CVS To Buy Oak Street HealthCVS Health (CVS) will pay $10.6 billion, including debt, for the primary care center operator for older adults. Oak Street Health (OSH), which already gapped up in early January on reports of a deal, spiked higher again. CVS also reported Q4 EPS rose by a penny to $1.99, ahead of estimates. But the midpoint of its 2023 guidance was below Wall Street consensus. CVS stock jumped, but from 52-week lows.Uber Jumps On Surprise Profit; Lyft CrashesUber (UBER) reported a gain vs. an expected loss, while the ride-hailing and food delivery app giant sees bookings stepping up in Q1. Shares jumped. But Lyft (LYFT) dived on an unexpectedly big loss and weak revenue guidance.News In BriefVertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) sank on lacking near-term catalysts, though adjusted earnings beat views with a 25% gain. Sales grew 11% to $2.3 billion, in line with expectations.Inspire Medical Systems (INSP) jumped as it turned profitable and sales rocketed 76% to $137.9 million.Dexcom (DXCM) earnings rebounded, easily beating Q4 views, while sales grew 17% for the diabetes products giant. .AbbVie (ABBV) popped on a better-than-feared outlook for 2023 profit. Q4 profit beat with a 17% drop. Sales missed, but rose 2% to $15.12 billion in sales.PayPal (PYPL)modestly beat Q4 views, with EPS up 12% and revenue 7%. The digital payments leader guided slightly higher for Q1 and 2023 earnings. CEO Dan Schulman will leave at the end of 2023Affirm Holdings (AFRM) reported a loss of $1.10 per share while revenue rose 11% to $399.6 million. Gross merchandise volume missed views. The buy now, pay now leader also guided lower.Terex (TEX) earnings climbed 63% with revenue up 23%. The heavy equipment guided higher for 2023. It also raised its quarterly dividend by 15% to 15 cents a share.Enphase Energy (ENPH) reported a 107% EPS gain, easily beating, and upped its guidance amid \"strong global demand\" for its solar products. But concerns about near-term U.S. demand send stocks reversing sharply lower.Pinterest (PINS) plunged as EPS topped views but revenue growth slowed again, below estimates. The social media firm also gave a weak revenue outlook.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":105,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9954118945,"gmtCreate":1676080531187,"gmtModify":1676080534670,"author":{"id":"4128899324677872","authorId":"4128899324677872","name":"NKCT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Noted

Today","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1174779038","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"From a short squeeze to a big tech company making its entry into artificial intelligence, these are ","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>From a short squeeze to a big tech company making its entry into artificial intelligence, these are the hot stocks for tomorrow.</li><li><b>Bed Bath &amp; Beyond</b>(<b>BBBY</b>) has been incredibly volatile and is the first of our hot stocks for tomorrow to watch.</li><li><b>Uber</b>(<b>UBER</b>) will report earnings before the open and the stock just hit its highest level since April.</li><li><b>Alphabet</b>(<b><u>GOOGL</u></b>, <b><u>GOOG</u></b>) will hold an AI event on Wednesday, a topic that has been all the rage lately.</li></ul><p>The stock market is looking the best it has in weeks, and yet many investors are still nervous. That anxiety is justified, as we still have to technically finish the bear market we’re in. Earnings have been mixed, as have the economic reports. What should investors be watching as the hot stocks for tomorrow?</p><p>We’re seeing growth stocks come back to life, along with tech. Tech has been the backbone of the market, as many of these companies have grown to sport market capitalizations in excess of $1 trillion.</p><p>If this group can continue to roar higher, the market will go along for the ride. However, if it begins to roll back over, equities will be in trouble. Let’s look at a few hot stocks for tomorrow, Feb. 8, starting with a small-time retailer getting a lot of attention.</p><p><b>Bed Bath &amp; Beyond (BBBY)</b></p><p>Shares of <b>Bed Bath &amp; Beyond</b>(NASDAQ: <b><u>BBBY</u></b>) have been all over the place lately. On Monday, the stock gained attention when it was up 20% to 40% throughout the early afternoon. Then the squeeze really came to life.</p><p>At one point, BBBY stock was up more than 130% and shares closed the day higher by 92%. On Tuesday, the stock is down 48.63%.</p><p>The volatility comes amid renewed interest in so-called “meme stocks.” That’s why Bed Bath &amp; Beyond has now become one of the hot stocks for tomorrow — because it’s leading the charge on names like <b>Carvana</b>(NYSE: <b><u>CVNA</u></b>), <b>AMC Entertainment</b>(NYSE: <b><u>AMC</u></b>) and <b>GameStop</b>(NYSE: <b><u>GME</u></b>), among others.</p><p>After Monday’s gains, the retailer announced a capital raise, and so far, the stock doesn’t seem to like the dilution impact. We’ll see how it shakes out as the company tries to avoid bankruptcy.</p><p><b>The Chart:</b> On the upside, the 200-day moving average has limited the rally. On the downside, keep an eye on uptrend support (blue line.) After last week’s low of $2.57, shares could fall back below $2. It should be clear, but in case it’s not: BBBY stock is a pure speculation play at this point and most investors should avoid it.</p><p><b>Uber (UBER)</b></p><p><b>Uber</b>(NYSE: <b><u>UBER</u></b>) will report earnings on Wednesday before the opening. For what it’s worth, <b>Lyft</b>(NASDAQ: <b><u>LYFT</u></b>) will report on Thursday evening. On Tuesday, Uber stock hit its highest level since April as bulls continue to pile into the name.</p><p>Multiple catalysts are helping to drive shares higher. First, tech stocks in general have been doing quite well. That’s as investors dive back into equities and gobble up some of the most beaten down names. Many happen to be investor favorites as well.</p><p>Second, travel trends have been incredibly strong, whether we’re looking at trends at Las Vegas casinos or listening to the conference calls of <b>Royal Caribbean</b>(NYSE: <b><u>RCL</u></b>) or <b>Delta Air Lines</b>(NYSE: <b><u>DAL</u></b>). That should bode well for Uber too.</p><p><b>The Chart:</b> UBER stock is working on its sixth weekly rally in the last seven weeks. However, it’s currently struggling with the 50% retracement (again.) If it can clear the $34.50 area, it will open the door to the 61.8% retracement near $38. Above that and $40-plus is in play. On the downside, it’d be very bullish for Uber to hold the Q4 high as support, along with the 10-week moving average.</p><p><b>Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL)</b></p><p>Artificial intelligence (AI) has been all the rage lately. <b>OpenAI’s</b> ChatGPT has garnered attention from millions of people and is popping up all over social media and in the news.</p><p>Of course, big tech isn’t going to lie down and let other companies dominate this new and headline-worthy field. Or at least, they’re not going to go down without a fight.</p><p>On Wednesday, <b>Alphabet</b>(NASDAQ: <b><u>GOOG</u></b>, NASDAQ: <b><u>GOOGL</u></b>) is expected to hold an event on search and on AI. According to some reports, “the tech giant said it will detail the power of AI to reimagine how people search for, explore and interact with information. Shopping, Maps, and Travel are also a few of the highlights that are expected to be highlighted at the event.”</p><p>Further, Alphabet recently introduced Bard, an AI-powered chatbot.

That anxiety is justified, as we still have to technically finish the bear market we’re in. Earnings have been mixed, as have the economic reports. What should investors be watching as the hot stocks for tomorrow?We’re seeing growth stocks come back to life, along with tech. Tech has been the backbone of the market, as many of these companies have grown to sport market capitalizations in excess of $1 trillion.If this group can continue to roar higher, the market will go along for the ride. However, if it begins to roll back over, equities will be in trouble. Let’s look at a few hot stocks for tomorrow, Feb. 8, starting with a small-time retailer getting a lot of attention.Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY)Shares of Bed Bath & Beyond(NASDAQ: BBBY) have been all over the place lately. On Monday, the stock gained attention when it was up 20% to 40% throughout the early afternoon. Then the squeeze really came to life.At one point, BBBY stock was up more than 130% and shares closed the day higher by 92%. On Tuesday, the stock is down 48.63%.The volatility comes amid renewed interest in so-called “meme stocks.” That’s why Bed Bath & Beyond has now become one of the hot stocks for tomorrow — because it’s leading the charge on names like Carvana(NYSE: CVNA), AMC Entertainment(NYSE: AMC) and GameStop(NYSE: GME), among others.After Monday’s gains, the retailer announced a capital raise, and so far, the stock doesn’t seem to like the dilution impact. We’ll see how it shakes out as the company tries to avoid bankruptcy.The Chart: On the upside, the 200-day moving average has limited the rally. On the downside, keep an eye on uptrend support (blue line.) After last week’s low of $2.57, shares could fall back below $2. It should be clear, but in case it’s not: BBBY stock is a pure speculation play at this point and most investors should avoid it.Uber (UBER)Uber(NYSE: UBER) will report earnings on Wednesday before the opening. For what it’s worth, Lyft(NASDAQ: LYFT) will report on Thursday evening. On Tuesday, Uber stock hit its highest level since April as bulls continue to pile into the name.Multiple catalysts are helping to drive shares higher. First, tech stocks in general have been doing quite well. That’s as investors dive back into equities and gobble up some of the most beaten down names. Many happen to be investor favorites as well.Second, travel trends have been incredibly strong, whether we’re looking at trends at Las Vegas casinos or listening to the conference calls of Royal Caribbean(NYSE: RCL) or Delta Air Lines(NYSE: DAL). That should bode well for Uber too.The Chart: UBER stock is working on its sixth weekly rally in the last seven weeks. However, it’s currently struggling with the 50% retracement (again.) If it can clear the $34.50 area, it will open the door to the 61.8% retracement near $38. Above that and $40-plus is in play. On the downside, it’d be very bullish for Uber to hold the Q4 high as support, along with the 10-week moving average.Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL)Artificial intelligence (AI) has been all the rage lately. OpenAI’s ChatGPT has garnered attention from millions of people and is popping up all over social media and in the news.Of course, big tech isn’t going to lie down and let other companies dominate this new and headline-worthy field. Or at least, they’re not going to go down without a fight.On Wednesday, Alphabet(NASDAQ: GOOG, NASDAQ: GOOGL) is expected to hold an event on search and on AI. According to some reports, “the tech giant said it will detail the power of AI to reimagine how people search for, explore and interact with information. Shopping, Maps, and Travel are also a few of the highlights that are expected to be highlighted at the event.”Further, Alphabet recently introduced Bard, an AI-powered chatbot. It’s possible that all of these products were coming to a head just a few months ago, but it seems like the progress and excitement around ChatGPT is really pushing big tech to adapt their AI approach even faster.The Chart: I don’t know that an AI event will be enough to trigger a breakout in Alphabet stock, but if it can, it could be significant. If the stock can clear $110, it puts it above last week’s high, the 61.8% retracement, the gap-fill and the 50-week moving average. On the downside, a break of $100 opens up more downside.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":189,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9954066405,"gmtCreate":1675850793407,"gmtModify":1675851086928,"author":{"id":"4128899324677872","authorId":"4128899324677872","name":"NKCT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👏👏👏","listText":"👏👏👏","text":"👏👏👏","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9954066405","repostId":"1105862964","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1105862964","pubTimestamp":1675848230,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1105862964?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-02-08 17:23","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Disney, Bed Bath & Beyond, CVS Health, Yum!

(DPU) come under pressure.</p><p>Here are three red flags that could indicate a potential DPU decline.</p><h3>A decline in portfolio valuation</h3><p>All REITs revalue their property portfolios once a year when their fiscal year-end arrives.</p><p>Property valuation is performed by independent real estate valuation companies based on factors such as discount and capitalisation rates as well as

macroeconomic and property levels.</p><p>Certain properties also saw weaker occupational performance because of slowdowns in demand and leasing activity.</p><p>As a result of the reduced valuations, MUST’s aggregate leverage will hit approximately 49%, just below the maximum threshold of 50% set by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.</p><p>While the REIT manager assures investors that no financial covenants have been breached, the REIT must find ways to reduce its aggregate leverage.</p><p>Some methods may involve the sale of assets to generate cash that can pay down some of its loans, which will ultimately lead to a decline in DPU.</p><h3>Currency weakness</h3><p>Currency movements may also present a challenge for REITs that derive rental income in foreign currencies.</p><p>As DPU is paid out in Singapore dollars (SGD), the translation of rental income from a foreign currency to SGD may be impacted by currency weakness.</p><p>An example is Daiwa House Logistics Trust (SGX: DHLU), or DHLT, which owns a portfolio of 14 logistics properties across Japan.</p><p>For the first nine months of 2022 (9M2022), DHLT reported that actual net property income (NPI) was 6.3% lower at S$41.8 million compared with its forecast of S$44.6 million.</p><p>The difference was due to foreign exchange volatility, as the Japanese Yen (JPY) had declined by 15% against

year.</p><p>With the roughly 12% depreciation of the British Pound against the SGD in the past year, the DPU when translated to SGD will be further negatively impacted.</p><h3>A rise in finance costs</h3><p>With interest rates shooting up, REIT investors should also keep an eye on the all-in financing cost for the REITs that they own.</p><p>Should the cost of debt continue rising, higher finance expenses could signal lower future distributable income.</p><p>For <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ME8U.SI\">Mapletree Industrial Trust</a>, its funding cost rose from 2.5% as of 30 June last year to 2.9% as of 30 September.</p><p>The higher cost of debt could be a precursor for the REIT to report lower year on year DPU in future quarters.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/T82U.SI\">Suntec REIT</a> reported a 5.8% year on year fall in distributable income for its fiscal 2022’s third quarter (3Q2022) and a 6.6% year on year dip in DPU due, in part, to higher finance costs.</p><p>The retail cum commercial REIT’s all-in financing cost rose from 2.51% as of 30 June to 2.76% as of 30 September.</p><h3>Get Smart: Keep the faith</h3><p>Some REITs may see their DPU come under pressure in the coming quarters.</p><p>But all is not lost.</p><p>Well-managed REITs with strong sponsors can help mitigate the DPU decline through acquisitions, organic growth and asset enhancement initiatives.</p><p>2023 may turn out to be a rocky year, but if a REIT owns high-quality assets, it should turn out fine in the long
