The best way to solve this problem is a well-rounded portfolio with the right balance of dividend, growth and value stocks. This article specifically focuses on the growth stocks to buy and how they can super-charge your retirement portfolio.</p>\n<p>Growth stocks typically belong to those companies that are growing at an above-average rate in their respective industries. Moreover, these companies are poised to expand over a long-term horizon thanks to their ability to innovate and reinvent themselves. Growth investors look at forward profitability and cash flow metrics when picking out the best growth stocks to buy.</p>\n<p>With that being said, this list below covers seven of the most promising growth stocks to buy, which will deliver returns across several markets.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Cloudflare</b>(NYSE:<b>NET</b>)</li>\n <li><b>Shopify</b>(NYSE:<b>SHOP</b>)</li>\n <li><b>Square</b>(NYSE:<b>SQ</b>)</li>\n <li><b>Snap</b>(NYSE:<b>SNAP</b>)</li>\n <li><b>Alibaba Group</b>(NYSE:<b>BABA</b>)</li>\n <li><b>Etsy</b>(NASDAQ:<b>ETSY</b>)</li>\n <li><b>Roku</b>(NASDAQ:<b>ROKU</b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Cloudflare (NET)</b></p>\n<p>Cloudflare has arguably one of the most active companies in the past year, launching more than 550 new products. The cloud platform has been growing rapidly and has expanded its total addressable market to over $70 billion. Additionally, it plans to spread into other profitable areas apart from its traditional content delivery services. Moreover, NET stock’s 12-month returns are at a staggering 180%.</p>\n<p>Earnings in the past year have been nothing short of amazing, with double-digit growth in revenues for the past three quarters. Year-over-year revenue growth is at a healthy 51%, with forward estimates at 42%. &nbsp;As it looks to expand its product suite into large TAM areas such as cybersecurity and MPLS/SD-WAN, it will continue to post strong sales numbers for the foreseeable future.</p>\n<p><b>Shopify (SHOP)</b></p>\n<p>Shopify is a leading merchant platform that has consistently delivered for its long-term investors. With businesses having to close down during the pandemic, Shopify became a beacon of hope for small merchants starting their online businesses. As a result, its year-over-year revenue growth is dumbfounding 99.6%, which dwarfs its competition. Hence, with a wide moat and the ability to constantly evolve more than justifies SHOP stocks lofty valuation.</p>\n<p>2020 was another stellar year for the company, but it looks like it still has multiple chapters to write in its growth story.&nbsp;Its fulfillment center strategy&nbsp;is one of them, giving&nbsp;<b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:<b>AMZN</b>) a run for its money. Moreover, its Payments division and international markets are two major catalysts for future growth. The company expects to grow its revenues by $5 billion by 2023 and take a larger bite out of the e-commerce market.</p>\n<p><b>Square (SQ)</b></p>\n<p>Square has turned into a new-age financial services juggernaut. It has posted stellar growth rates, delivering monster quarterly results and outperforming its already high expectations. It continues to expand its distinct ecosystems, which includes its and Seller and Cash App. Both ecosystems exhibit a $160 billion addressable market opportunity collectively. Moreover, SQ stock has generated over 130% returns in the past 12-months.</p>\n<p>The Cash App platform has been a key driver of the company’s growth. Its monthly active users have grown by 50% to&nbsp;over 36 million in 2020.&nbsp; Through its&nbsp;<b>Bitcoin</b>(CCC:<b>BTC-USD</b>)&nbsp; functionalities and the impact of the Cash Card, it creates several monetization opportunities. Additionally, the re-opening of the U.S. and the worldwide economy will propel the stock further as more small and medium-sized enterprises regain their footing.</p>\n<p><b>Snap (SNAP)</b></p>\n<p>Social media giant Snap was in a tough spot a couple of years ago, as its user base stagnated considerably. However, it is now back in the game with improvements in monetization, augmented reality and unique content. Analysts point towards multiple years of double-digit revenue growth ahead, and its high long-term margin structure makes SNAP stock a highly attractive investment.</p>\n<p>Daily Active Users (DAUs) for the company increased on a year-over-year basisin each of the four quarters last year. The trend continued in the first quarter, where its DAUs grew by a healthy 22%.&nbsp; Moreover, revenues in the quarter were up 66%&nbsp;year-over-year to $170 million. It has multiple monetization avenues left to explore, including Maps, Spotlight, Stories and others.&nbsp; Hence, with forward revenue estimates of roughly 50%, the company is in pole position to deliver strong returns for the foreseeable future.</p>\n<p><b>Alibaba Group (BABA)</b></p>\n<p>Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba has been one of the fastest-growing companies in the past several years. In the past seven years, its business has grown at a spectacular 23.8% CAGR and is still growing at an impressive pace. Year-over-year revenue growth has been at a remarkable 41%, with forward estimates over 35%. Analysts believe that BABA stock could generate over 300% returns in the next five years.</p>\n<p>Alibaba has gone a great job of diversifying its income streams from its traditional retail business. Some of these include cloud computing, entertainment, digital media and others. Cloud computing, in particular, is an area where Alibaba will look to invest heavily in the coming years. The high-margin business will help narrow down its losses and open up new opportunities in adjacent areas.</p>\n<p><b>Etsy (ETSY)</b></p>\n<p>Etsy is an online niche marketplace with a wide and sustainable moat. It has witnessed massive growth during the pandemic, as its revenues increased by triple-digit percentages in the past four quarters. Its gross merchandise value (GMV) and revenues increased by roughly 106% and 111%, respectively, in 2020. Moreover, its EBITDA growth on a year-over-year basis is at a stunning 391%. No wonder ETSY stock has surged over 78% in the past 12 months.</p>\n<p>With last year’s blow-out performance, investors are worried about whether the company can continue its progress. Etsy is expanding its business through some smart acquisitions. It recently acquired&nbsp;<b>Reverb</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>Depop</b>&nbsp;to expand its music and fashion recommerce expertise. These acquisitions will also facilitate the company’s global outreach.Etsy posted a 141% year-over-year growth&nbsp;in its first quarter, which suggests that it isn’t slowing down anytime soon.</p>\n<p><b>Roku (ROKU)</b></p>\n<p>Streaming giant Roku has been on a roll in the past year, with its revenues and subscribers fueled by the pandemic. It gained an unbelievable 16.7 million new users during the pandemic and now&nbsp;has 53.6 million users. It is likely to achieve a record 65 million users by the conclusion of this year. With strong user monetization and active user growth, ROKU stock could potentially surge to new heights.</p>\n<p>Looking ahead, the company has multiple growth drivers which could push its stock price higher in the future. Its CTV ad segment, in particular, could pay a lot of dividends with the gradual shift from linear to CTV. Moreover, it continues to invest heavily in its content library, with its recent launch of&nbsp;<b>Roku Originals</b>&nbsp;and its acquisition of&nbsp;<b>Saban Films</b>. Hence, it has an incredible growth runway ahead and should continue posting strong top and bottom-line numbers.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>7 Growth Stocks to Buy and Hold for a Golden Retirement</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\">\n7 Growth Stocks to Buy and Hold for a Golden Retirement\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-28 17:39 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/06/7-great-growth-stocks-to-buy-and-hold-for-a-golden-retirement/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>These growth stocks to buy will add a ton of value to your retirement portfolio by providing a growing return on investment\nThe last thing any retiree would want to do is to sit around and fret about ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2021/06/7-great-growth-stocks-to-buy-and-hold-for-a-golden-retirement/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"ROKU":"Roku Inc","NET":"Cloudflare, Inc.","ETSY":"Etsy, Inc.","BABA":"阿里巴巴","SNAP":"Snap Inc","SQ":"Block","SHOP":"Shopify Inc"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2021/06/7-great-growth-stocks-to-buy-and-hold-for-a-golden-retirement/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1103992527","content_text":"These growth stocks to buy will add a ton of value to your retirement portfolio by providing a growing return on investment\nThe last thing any retiree would want to do is to sit around and fret about their portfolio.

Growth investors look at forward profitability and cash flow metrics when picking out the best growth stocks to buy.\nWith that being said, this list below covers seven of the most promising growth stocks to buy, which will deliver returns across several markets.\n\nCloudflare(NYSE:NET)\nShopify(NYSE:SHOP)\nSquare(NYSE:SQ)\nSnap(NYSE:SNAP)\nAlibaba Group(NYSE:BABA)\nEtsy(NASDAQ:ETSY)\nRoku(NASDAQ:ROKU)\n\nCloudflare (NET)\nCloudflare has arguably one of the most active companies in the past year, launching more than 550 new products. The cloud platform has been growing rapidly and has expanded its total addressable market to over $70 billion. Additionally, it plans to spread into other profitable areas apart from its traditional content delivery services. Moreover, NET stock’s 12-month returns are at a staggering 180%.\nEarnings in the past year have been nothing short of amazing, with double-digit growth in revenues for the past three quarters. Year-over-year revenue growth is at a healthy 51%, with forward estimates at 42%.  As it looks to expand its product suite into large TAM areas such as cybersecurity and MPLS/SD-WAN, it will continue to post strong sales numbers for the foreseeable future.\nShopify (SHOP)\nShopify is a leading merchant platform that has consistently delivered for its long-term investors. With businesses having to close down during the pandemic, Shopify became a beacon of hope for small merchants starting their online businesses. As a result, its year-over-year revenue growth is dumbfounding 99.6%, which dwarfs its competition. Hence, with a wide moat and the ability to constantly evolve more than justifies SHOP stocks lofty valuation.\n2020 was another stellar year for the company, but it looks like it still has multiple chapters to write in its growth story. Its fulfillment center strategy is one of them, giving Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN) a run for its money. Moreover, its Payments division and international markets are two major catalysts for future growth. The company expects to grow its revenues by $5 billion by 2023 and take a larger bite out of the e-commerce market.\nSquare (SQ)\nSquare has turned into a new-age financial services juggernaut. It has posted stellar growth rates, delivering monster quarterly results and outperforming its already high expectations. It continues to expand its distinct ecosystems, which includes its and Seller and Cash App. Both ecosystems exhibit a $160 billion addressable market opportunity collectively. Moreover, SQ stock has generated over 130% returns in the past 12-months.\nThe Cash App platform has been a key driver of the company’s growth. Its monthly active users have grown by 50% to over 36 million in 2020.  Through its Bitcoin(CCC:BTC-USD)  functionalities and the impact of the Cash Card, it creates several monetization opportunities. Additionally, the re-opening of the U.S. and the worldwide economy will propel the stock further as more small and medium-sized enterprises regain their footing.\nSnap (SNAP)\nSocial media giant Snap was in a tough spot a couple of years ago, as its user base stagnated considerably. However, it is now back in the game with improvements in monetization, augmented reality and unique content. Analysts point towards multiple years of double-digit revenue growth ahead, and its high long-term margin structure makes SNAP stock a highly attractive investment.\nDaily Active Users (DAUs) for the company increased on a year-over-year basisin each of the four quarters last year. The trend continued in the first quarter, where its DAUs grew by a healthy 22%.  Moreover, revenues in the quarter were up 66% year-over-year to $170 million. It has multiple monetization avenues left to explore, including Maps, Spotlight, Stories and others.  Hence, with forward revenue estimates of roughly 50%, the company is in pole position to deliver strong returns for the foreseeable future.\nAlibaba Group (BABA)\nChinese e-commerce giant Alibaba has been one of the fastest-growing companies in the past several years. In the past seven years, its business has grown at a spectacular 23.8% CAGR and is still growing at an impressive pace. Year-over-year revenue growth has been at a remarkable 41%, with forward estimates over 35%. Analysts believe that BABA stock could generate over 300% returns in the next five years.\nAlibaba has gone a great job of diversifying its income streams from its traditional retail business. Some of these include cloud computing, entertainment, digital media and others. Cloud computing, in particular, is an area where Alibaba will look to invest heavily in the coming years. The high-margin business will help narrow down its losses and open up new opportunities in adjacent areas.\nEtsy (ETSY)\nEtsy is an online niche marketplace with a wide and sustainable moat. It has witnessed massive growth during the pandemic, as its revenues increased by triple-digit percentages in the past four quarters. Its gross merchandise value (GMV) and revenues increased by roughly 106% and 111%, respectively, in 2020. Moreover, its EBITDA growth on a year-over-year basis is at a stunning 391%. No wonder ETSY stock has surged over 78% in the past 12 months.\nWith last year’s blow-out performance, investors are worried about whether the company can continue its progress. Etsy is expanding its business through some smart acquisitions. It recently acquired Reverb and Depop to expand its music and fashion recommerce expertise. These acquisitions will also facilitate the company’s global outreach.Etsy posted a 141% year-over-year growth in its first quarter, which suggests that it isn’t slowing down anytime soon.\nRoku (ROKU)\nStreaming giant Roku has been on a roll in the past year, with its revenues and subscribers fueled by the pandemic. It gained an unbelievable 16.7 million new users during the pandemic and now has 53.6 million users. It is likely to achieve a record 65 million users by the conclusion of this year. With strong user monetization and active user growth, ROKU stock could potentially surge to new heights.\nLooking ahead, the company has multiple growth drivers which could push its stock price higher in the future. Its CTV ad segment, in particular, could pay a lot of dividends with the gradual shift from linear to CTV. Moreover, it continues to invest heavily in its content library, with its recent launch of Roku Originals and its acquisition of Saban Films. Hence, it has an incredible growth runway ahead and should continue posting strong top and bottom-line numbers.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":137,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":150177421,"gmtCreate":1624891335563,"gmtModify":1703847280391,"author":{"id":"3555810485403982","authorId":"3555810485403982","name":"Jo96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a8f7e88de203a82e2c93624c556c5ce","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555810485403982","authorIdStr":"3555810485403982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/150177421","repostId":"1105982179","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1105982179","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624889210,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1105982179?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-28 22:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Palantir: The Mass Exodus","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105982179","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nShort interest in Palantir dropped by 23.8% in the latest cycle.\nEven though Palantir conti","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Short interest in Palantir dropped by 23.8% in the latest cycle.</li>\n <li>Even though Palantir continues to be surrounded by bearish narratives, market participants don't seem to be comfortable with shorting the stock.</li>\n <li>The stock could rally further.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/16279727ada0c46eb4d43744da02d1cc\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"512\"><span>Michael Vi/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>Palantir's (PLTR) shares are up 20% in the last month alone but the rally could still continue. Latest data reveals that short interest in Palantir declined by 23.8% in the latest cycle alone. This suggests that a broad swath of market participants isn't buying into the bearish narratives surrounding the company, perceive its stock to be fairly valued and perhaps even anticipate it to rally going forward. This development should come across as an encouraging sign for the company's long-side investors. Let's take a closer look at it all.</p>\n<p><b>The Data</b></p>\n<p>I'd like to start by explaining the term \"short interest\" for the uninitiated. It's essentially the total number of short positions that are open against any given stock. A sharp rise in the metric indicates that traders grew bearish on the concerned company, and actively initiated short positions against it. Conversely, a sharp decline in the metric indicates that traders actively wound up their short positions either perhaps because they anticipate the stock to bottom out and/or rally going forward. So, the short interest is a useful tool to gauge the Street's ever-evolving market sentiment.</p>\n<p>In Palantir's case, its short interest at the end of the latest data cycle stood at 52.3 million, sharply down by 23.8% on a sequential basis. Although Palantir's short interest figure isn't at its all-time low yet, the pace of its recent decline, however, is certainly one of the fastest in the company's brief history since its direct listing last year. For the record, Palantir has over 1.8 billion shares outstanding which means that about 2.8% of its entire share total had been shorted. Also, the short interest data is for the cycle spanning from early June to mid-June, and the data wasreleasedon Thursday.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/95e4623fda1d9079a2699b57d4ee0f42\" tg-width=\"637\" tg-height=\"450\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Next, I wanted to confirm if other software application companies also registered a sharp reduction in their short interest figures, or was Palantir an anomaly in its peer group. So, to get a broader perspective on its industry, I pulled the short interest figures for about 100 software application stocks listed in the US. Interestingly, 55% of these stocks registered a net reduction in their short interest figures, of varying magnitudes of course, which points to an industry-wide short unwinding.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/091feec9aa17f821d01f34a7b46bb2bb\" tg-width=\"610\" tg-height=\"506\"><span>(Source: BusinessQuant.com, Wsj.com)</span></p>\n<p>Moreover, the median short interest decline was 1.9%, whereas Palantir's short interest declined by a far more significant 23.8% during the same data cycle. In fact, there were just 6 other stocks in our study group, which saw their short interest decline in excess of 23.8%. This conclusively shows that market participants were far too active with unwinding their short positions in Palantir.</p>\n<p>But this leads us to an important question - why are market participants so cautious with shorting Palantir in the first place?</p>\n<p><b>Cautious for Good Reason</b></p>\n<p>As I've explained in my prior articles, Palantir has several initiatives at play which could collectively catapult its growth in 2021-22. These initiatives include itstransitionto a customer-friendly payment model to boost commercial sales, offeringfree trialsto major companies to expand its sales funnel and expanding itssales teamto revamp its outbound marketing function. We won't be discussing the same points again to avoid being repetitive, but the takeaway here is that since Palantir is undertaking several growth initiatives, it makes for a risky short bet for the time being at least.</p>\n<p>But don't take my word for it.</p>\n<p>The community of professional analysts is realizing Palantir's growth potential and raising their revenue estimates for its current fiscal year. They've raised their FY21 revenue estimates by about 5% so far since mid-January and there's no telling how many of such upward revenue revisions are still in store for the remainder of Palantir's FY21. This bullish uncertainty presents an unfavorable risk-reward ratio for short-side market participants and explains why short interest in Palantir continues to decline.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/74bccdf90ceb880c1a3edddad8743a1e\" tg-width=\"636\" tg-height=\"419\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>There's another point to consider here, that nobody seems to be talking about. Palantir has won several COVID-19 tracking-related contracts (such ashere,here,here,hereandhere) over the last 12 - 15 months as government agencies across the globe grappled to control the spread and tried to better manage their resources. With COVID-19 said to be making a fierce comeback with thedelta variant, I contend that Palantir could experience a similar order windfall this year, from proactive government agencies, which could boost the company's government sales along the way.</p>\n<p>Lastly, several commenters argue that Palantir's shares are trading at a premium and are due for a sharp correction. Its shares are trading at about 34-times trailing twelve-month sales so it's understandable why many might think that the stock is overvalued. But I believe the problem with this approach is that we're not factoring in industry-wide trading multiples or Palantir's revenue growth rate, compared to its peers.</p>\n<p>So, to put things in perspective, I compiled the revenue growth rates and price-to-sales (or P/S) multiples for over 320 software infrastructure and software application stocks that are currently listed on US exchanges. Next, I benchmarked these industry groups based on Palantir's revenue growth rate and its P/S multiple. As it turns out, over 90% of Palantir's peers have a slower revenue growth and/or are trading at higher trading multiples. This suggests that Palantir's higher pace of growth justifies its price premium and that the bearish concerns regarding its valuations, are exaggerated.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fefb171f61438817b747d6a50fff8133\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"414\"><span>(Source: Business Quant.com)</span></p>\n<p><b>Final Thoughts</b></p>\n<p>I'd like to point to readers that fluctuations in short interest figures don't always impact the underlying stock prices.

In fact, the company closed at nearly 20 times projected sales for the current fiscal year. That's a bit optimistic given an expected sales growth slowdown.</p>\n<p>Perhaps the other reason Wall Street expects NVIDIA to go sideways is the company's cryptocurrency mining chip segment. While sales of crypto chips could hit $400 million in the current quarter, demand is entirely dependent on the hype surrounding digital currencies and the favorability of technical charts. Crypto is just as well known for its long bear markets as it is for the big gains it's delivered over the past decade. If another lull strikes, a fast-growing ancillary segment for NVIDA could easily become a drag.</p>\n<p>For what it's worth, I see no fundamental reasons to sell NVIDIA if you're already a long-term shareholder.

Indeed, the surge in demand for EVs has not only vindicated his foresight, but allowed his company to remain a market leader above late-coming competitors.</p>\n<p>However, while the company Musk leads as Technoking is no doubt a market leader, it has not solely cashed in by beating its competitors in terms of sales. Instead, a key to the company's recent turn to profitability has come from taking advantage of government incentives and selling the excess incentives it holds to these very same competitors. And now that many of these competitors are engaging more aggressively in EVs themselves, Tesla may soon find itself without many of these customers and, therefore, without a significant contributor to its profits.</p>\n<p><b>Raking in the Regulatory Credits</b></p>\n<p>The credits that Tesla has handsomely profited from are tradable credits offered by various governments around the world for zero-emission vehicles. The fact that they are tradable is crucial since this allows Tesla to sell the credits to other automakers who might not otherwise comply with emission standards without the use of these credits. The set-up allows Tesla to book the credits as purely additive to its top line, with the automakers buying these credits avoiding hefty fines from regulators.</p>\n<p>Per Tesla’s most recent 10-K filing, the company earned $1.58 billion from the sale of these credits in 2020, up from $594 million in the year prior and $419 million in 2018. The year-over -year jump notwithstanding, the credit sales might appear to be a paltry sum given the company’s $31.5 billion in total revenue in 2020. However, their nature as purely profit, in contrast to capital intensive auto manufacturing, means they have been a pivotal part of Tesla’s push towards profitability.</p>\n<p>Indeed, Tesla’s much-lauded $721 million profit in 2020, the very first profitable full year in its history, was clearly boosted over the top by the surge in regulatory credit sales. Had they remained consistent with the prior periods, the landmark year would have been left short of break-even, keeping up the company's trend of annual losses maintained since its inception.</p>\n<p>The trend has continued into 2021 as the company reported $518 million in revenues from credit salesin the first quarter, which boosted the company once again to a $438-million quarterly profit. While vehicle deliveries consistently catch the headlines, it's clear that the regulatory credits are buoying the automaker into the black.</p>\n<p><b>Competition Cuts Into Cash Flow</b></p>\n<p>The problem with the profit margin may be approaching faster than some have anticipated as well, with the increased entry of traditional automakers like Ford&nbsp;(<b>F</b>) -Get Report, General Motors&nbsp;(<b>GM</b>) -Get Report, and Stellantis STLA into the EV space.</p>\n<p>While much of the focus revolves around these companies’ threat to Tesla’s core auto sales, the popularity of Tesla among its devoted fans might sustain it amidst the hard-charging competition. As such, the trajectory of its sales, while now threatened by competent competition, remains somewhat murky at the moment.</p>\n<p>The question of regulatory credit impact is much more straightforward. If Tesla’s competitors are producing their own electric vehicles and fewer ICE autos, they have no need to spend so substantially on buying credits from Tesla.</p>\n<p>Per a Reuters report, Fiat Chrysler agreed to purchase $2.4 billion worth of emissions credits from Tesla from 2019 through 2021, likely accounting for a lion’s share of the roughly $2.2 billion recorded in total in credits sold in Tesla’s 2019 and 2020 10-K filings. However, after Fiat Chrysler merged with French automaker PSA Group in May to form Stellantis, this reliable revenue stream looks likely to fade.</p>\n<p>\"With the electrical technology that PSA brought to Stellantis, we will autonomously meet carbon dioxide emission regulations as early as this year,\" Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares told French media after the merger. \"Thus, we will not need to call on European CO2 credits and [Fiat Chrysler] will no longer have to pool with Tesla or anyone.\"</p>\n<p><b>Already Anticipated?</b></p>\n<p>To be sure, the looming threat of regulatory credit sales eroding is by no means a novel development. CFO Zachary Kirkhorn noted in a call with analysts in mid-2020 that “we don’t manage the business with the assumption that regulatory credits will contribute significantly to the future. Eventually this will reduce.”</p>\n<p>Kirkhorn’s focus on the core business, especially in terms of battery technology, rather than the regulatory credit sales, is bolstered by the thoughts of prominent Tesla bulls.</p>\n<p>“We have owned Tesla for a decade and from day one we expected regulatory credits to go to zero within three years,” Jennison Associates analyst Owuraka Koney said. “They are comfortable without these regulatory credits and they make money when you exclude these credits and these non-recurring costs that they face.”</p>\n<p>Koney cited Elon Musk’smassive compensation packagetied to the company's recent stock surges as a key non-recurring cost in this context. Further, Koney argued that the regulatory credit benefits are being unfairly compared to overall profitability, which he sees as an apples-and-oranges comparison.

Indeed, the surge in demand for EVs has not only vindicated his foresight, but allowed his company to remain a market leader above late-coming competitors.\nHowever, while the company Musk leads as Technoking is no doubt a market leader, it has not solely cashed in by beating its competitors in terms of sales. Instead, a key to the company's recent turn to profitability has come from taking advantage of government incentives and selling the excess incentives it holds to these very same competitors. And now that many of these competitors are engaging more aggressively in EVs themselves, Tesla may soon find itself without many of these customers and, therefore, without a significant contributor to its profits.\nRaking in the Regulatory Credits\nThe credits that Tesla has handsomely profited from are tradable credits offered by various governments around the world for zero-emission vehicles. The fact that they are tradable is crucial since this allows Tesla to sell the credits to other automakers who might not otherwise comply with emission standards without the use of these credits. The set-up allows Tesla to book the credits as purely additive to its top line, with the automakers buying these credits avoiding hefty fines from regulators.\nPer Tesla’s most recent 10-K filing, the company earned $1.58 billion from the sale of these credits in 2020, up from $594 million in the year prior and $419 million in 2018. The year-over -year jump notwithstanding, the credit sales might appear to be a paltry sum given the company’s $31.5 billion in total revenue in 2020. However, their nature as purely profit, in contrast to capital intensive auto manufacturing, means they have been a pivotal part of Tesla’s push towards profitability.\nIndeed, Tesla’s much-lauded $721 million profit in 2020, the very first profitable full year in its history, was clearly boosted over the top by the surge in regulatory credit sales. Had they remained consistent with the prior periods, the landmark year would have been left short of break-even, keeping up the company's trend of annual losses maintained since its inception.\nThe trend has continued into 2021 as the company reported $518 million in revenues from credit salesin the first quarter, which boosted the company once again to a $438-million quarterly profit. While vehicle deliveries consistently catch the headlines, it's clear that the regulatory credits are buoying the automaker into the black.\nCompetition Cuts Into Cash Flow\nThe problem with the profit margin may be approaching faster than some have anticipated as well, with the increased entry of traditional automakers like Ford (F) -Get Report, General Motors (GM) -Get Report, and Stellantis STLA into the EV space.\nWhile much of the focus revolves around these companies’ threat to Tesla’s core auto sales, the popularity of Tesla among its devoted fans might sustain it amidst the hard-charging competition. As such, the trajectory of its sales, while now threatened by competent competition, remains somewhat murky at the moment.\nThe question of regulatory credit impact is much more straightforward. If Tesla’s competitors are producing their own electric vehicles and fewer ICE autos, they have no need to spend so substantially on buying credits from Tesla.\nPer a Reuters report, Fiat Chrysler agreed to purchase $2.4 billion worth of emissions credits from Tesla from 2019 through 2021, likely accounting for a lion’s share of the roughly $2.2 billion recorded in total in credits sold in Tesla’s 2019 and 2020 10-K filings. However, after Fiat Chrysler merged with French automaker PSA Group in May to form Stellantis, this reliable revenue stream looks likely to fade.\n\"With the electrical technology that PSA brought to Stellantis, we will autonomously meet carbon dioxide emission regulations as early as this year,\" Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares told French media after the merger. \"Thus, we will not need to call on European CO2 credits and [Fiat Chrysler] will no longer have to pool with Tesla or anyone.\"\nAlready Anticipated?\nTo be sure, the looming threat of regulatory credit sales eroding is by no means a novel development. CFO Zachary Kirkhorn noted in a call with analysts in mid-2020 that “we don’t manage the business with the assumption that regulatory credits will contribute significantly to the future. Eventually this will reduce.”\nKirkhorn’s focus on the core business, especially in terms of battery technology, rather than the regulatory credit sales, is bolstered by the thoughts of prominent Tesla bulls.\n“We have owned Tesla for a decade and from day one we expected regulatory credits to go to zero within three years,” Jennison Associates analyst Owuraka Koney said. “They are comfortable without these regulatory credits and they make money when you exclude these credits and these non-recurring costs that they face.”\nKoney cited Elon Musk’smassive compensation packagetied to the company's recent stock surges as a key non-recurring cost in this context. Further, Koney argued that the regulatory credit benefits are being unfairly compared to overall profitability, which he sees as an apples-and-oranges comparison. He explained that the more relevant comparison is to Tesla’s operating income, which was $1.99 billion on a GAAP basis in 2020, up over $2 billion from the figure in 2019. The leap suggests strength greater than that simply achieved via the regulatory credit benefit, in his view.\nMike Dovororany, VP of Automotive & Mobility at market research firm Escalent, seconded the rosier view held by Koney, reiterating that the risk of regulatory credits fading is well understood by savvy investors, and further that the current U.S. administration might actually aid Tesla’s ability to capitalize on regulation.\n“Because credit sales have always been the main driver behind Tesla’s profitability, investors should be well-accustomed to this risk,” he explained. “Also, as the Biden Administration looks to reconsider stricter emissions regulations, the EV credit market could become more important than ever.”\nWith the administration now proposing a $174-billion investment in the electric vehicle market aspart of the American Jobs Act, including new tax credits, there is certainly ample reason to be excited. Given Tesla's ability to capitalize on these incentives, it will be worth watching what the final bill entails when it crosses Biden's desk and whether it might mean lead to more big profits for Tesla.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":215,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":164679073,"gmtCreate":1624204117592,"gmtModify":1703830603208,"author":{"id":"3555810485403982","authorId":"3555810485403982","name":"Jo96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a8f7e88de203a82e2c93624c556c5ce","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555810485403982","authorIdStr":"3555810485403982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/164679073","repostId":"1192473918","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1192473918","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624029343,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1192473918?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-18 23:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"PLTR Stock: The Palantir-FAA Deal News Should Have Investors Smiling Today","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1192473918","media":"investorplace","summary":"Palantir Technologies(NYSE:PLTR) stock is on the move Friday following news of a deal with the Feder","content":"<p><b>Palantir Technologies</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>) stock is on the move Friday following news of a deal with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).</p>\n<p>The goal of this deal is toassist the FAA in modernizing its ” objectives for aviation safety.”This will have Palantir Technologies providing the agency with a data analyzing tool to help with that effort.</p>\n<p>According to a news release, this will have Palantir Technologies monitoring various safety aspects for the FAA.

That's understandable, with several of them del","content":"<p>Meme stocks have been all the rage so far this year. That's understandable, with several of them delivering triple-digit and even four-digit percentage gains.</p>\n<p>However, what goes up can come down. Analysts don't expect the online frenzy fueling the ginormous jumps for some of the most popular stocks will be sustainable. Here are three meme stocks that Wall Street thinks will plunge by more than 20% within the next 12 months.</p>\n<p>AMC Entertainment</p>\n<p><b>AMC Entertainment</b>(NYSE:AMC)ranks as the best-performing meme stock of all. Shares of the movie theater operator have skyrocketed close to 2,500% year to date.</p>\n<p>The consensus among analysts, though, is that the stock could lose 90% of its current value. Even the most optimistic analyst surveyed by Refinitiv has a price target for AMC that's more than 70% below the current share price.</p>\n<p>But isn't AMC's business picking up? Yep. The easing of restrictions has enabled the company to reopen 99% of its U.S. theaters. AMC could benefit as seating capacity limitations imposed by state and local governments are raised. Thereleases of multiple movies this summerand later this year that are likely to be hits should also help.</p>\n<p>However, Wall Street clearly believes that AMC's share price has gotten way ahead of its business prospects. The stock is trading at nearly eight times higher than it was before the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>\n<p>Clover Health Investments</p>\n<p>Only a few days ago, it looked like&nbsp;<b>Clover Health Investments</b>(NASDAQ:CLOV)might push AMC to the side as the hottest meme stock. Retail investors viewed Clover as a primeshort squeezecandidate.</p>\n<p>Since the beginning of June, shares of Clover Health have jumped more than 65%. Analysts, however, don't expect those gains to last. The average price target for the stock is 25% below the current share price.</p>\n<p>Clover Health's valuation does seem to have gotten out of hand. The healthcare stock currently trades at more than 170 times trailing-12-month sales. That's a nosebleed level, especially considering that the company is the subject of investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission.</p>\n<p>Still, Clover Health could deliver improving financial results this year. The company hopes to significantly increase its membership by targeting the original Medicare program. This represents a major new market opportunity in addition to its current Medicare Advantage business.</p>\n<p>Sundial Growers</p>\n<p>At one point earlier this year,&nbsp;<b>Sundial Growers</b>(NASDAQ:SNDL)appeared to be a legitimate contender to become the biggest winner among meme stocks. The Canadian marijuana stock vaulted more than 520% higher year to date before giving up much of its gains. However, Sundial's share price has still more than doubled in 2021.</p>\n<p>Analysts anticipate that the pot stock could fall even further. The consensus price target for Sundial reflects a 23% discount to its current share price. One analyst even thinks the stock could sink 55%.</p>\n<p>There certainly are reasons to be pessimistic about Sundial's core cannabis business. The company's net cannabis revenue fell year over year in the first quarter of 2021.

That's understandable, with several of them delivering triple-digit and even four-digit percentage gains.\nHowever, what goes up can come down. Analysts don't expect the online frenzy fueling the ginormous jumps for some of the most popular stocks will be sustainable. Here are three meme stocks that Wall Street thinks will plunge by more than 20% within the next 12 months.\nAMC Entertainment\nAMC Entertainment(NYSE:AMC)ranks as the best-performing meme stock of all. Shares of the movie theater operator have skyrocketed close to 2,500% year to date.\nThe consensus among analysts, though, is that the stock could lose 90% of its current value. Even the most optimistic analyst surveyed by Refinitiv has a price target for AMC that's more than 70% below the current share price.\nBut isn't AMC's business picking up? Yep. The easing of restrictions has enabled the company to reopen 99% of its U.S. theaters. AMC could benefit as seating capacity limitations imposed by state and local governments are raised. Thereleases of multiple movies this summerand later this year that are likely to be hits should also help.\nHowever, Wall Street clearly believes that AMC's share price has gotten way ahead of its business prospects. The stock is trading at nearly eight times higher than it was before the COVID-19 pandemic.\nClover Health Investments\nOnly a few days ago, it looked like Clover Health Investments(NASDAQ:CLOV)might push AMC to the side as the hottest meme stock. Retail investors viewed Clover as a primeshort squeezecandidate.\nSince the beginning of June, shares of Clover Health have jumped more than 65%. Analysts, however, don't expect those gains to last. The average price target for the stock is 25% below the current share price.\nClover Health's valuation does seem to have gotten out of hand. The healthcare stock currently trades at more than 170 times trailing-12-month sales. That's a nosebleed level, especially considering that the company is the subject of investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission.\nStill, Clover Health could deliver improving financial results this year. The company hopes to significantly increase its membership by targeting the original Medicare program. This represents a major new market opportunity in addition to its current Medicare Advantage business.\nSundial Growers\nAt one point earlier this year, Sundial Growers(NASDAQ:SNDL)appeared to be a legitimate contender to become the biggest winner among meme stocks. The Canadian marijuana stock vaulted more than 520% higher year to date before giving up much of its gains. However, Sundial's share price has still more than doubled in 2021.\nAnalysts anticipate that the pot stock could fall even further. The consensus price target for Sundial reflects a 23% discount to its current share price. One analyst even thinks the stock could sink 55%.\nThere certainly are reasons to be pessimistic about Sundial's core cannabis business. The company's net cannabis revenue fell year over year in the first quarter of 2021. Although Sundial is taking steps that it hopes will turn things around, it remains to be seen if those efforts will succeed.\nSundial's business deals could give investors reasons for optimism. After all, the company posted positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) in Q1 due to its investments.\nHowever, the cash that Sundial is using to make these investments has come at the cost of increased dilution of its stock. The company can't afford any additional dilution without having to resort to desperate measures to keep its listing on the Nasdaq stock exchange.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":370,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":162318207,"gmtCreate":1624034262309,"gmtModify":1703827346509,"author":{"id":"3555810485403982","authorId":"3555810485403982","name":"Jo96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a8f7e88de203a82e2c93624c556c5ce","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555810485403982","authorIdStr":"3555810485403982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/162318207","repostId":"2144477966","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":305,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":162311183,"gmtCreate":1624034211542,"gmtModify":1703827344729,"author":{"id":"3555810485403982","authorId":"3555810485403982","name":"Jo96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a8f7e88de203a82e2c93624c556c5ce","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555810485403982","authorIdStr":"3555810485403982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/162311183","repostId":"1192473918","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1192473918","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624029343,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1192473918?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-18 23:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"PLTR Stock: The Palantir-FAA Deal News Should Have Investors Smiling Today","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1192473918","media":"investorplace","summary":"Palantir Technologies(NYSE:PLTR) stock is on the move Friday following news of a deal with the Feder","content":"<p><b>Palantir Technologies</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>) stock is on the move Friday following news of a deal with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).</p>\n<p>The goal of this deal is toassist the FAA in modernizing its ” objectives for aviation safety.”This will have Palantir Technologies providing the agency with a data analyzing tool to help with that effort.</p>\n<p>According to a news release, this will have Palantir Technologies monitoring various safety aspects for the FAA.

Then in 2006, it introduced the CUDA programming model, turning GPUs into general-purpose processors. Together, these innovations transformed NVIDIA into a supercomputing company, powering its rise in the data center market.</p>\n<p>NVIDIA hasn't lost that innovative spark, and its pipeline is full of products that could be growth drivers over the coming decade. In fact, if the company executes on its massive market opportunity, I think NVIDIA could be bigger than <b>Apple</b> by 2031. Here are three reasons why.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8eaf8802c7ed003335f2860d2fb148e9\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\"><span>Image source: Getty Images</span></p>\n<h2>1. The data center</h2>\n<p>Currently, NVIDIA controls over 90%&nbsp;of the data center accelerator market. Over the past 12 months, its data center business generated $7.6 billion in revenue, up 117%. But management sees a much larger market opportunity -- which could generate $100 billion by 2024.</p>\n<p>To that end, NVIDIA recently launched the DGX SuperPOD, a turnkey solution for enterprise artificial intelligence (AI). This cloud-native supercomputer simplifies AI, delivering in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> platform all of the resources (i.e., hardware and software) clients need to build and deploy AI applications.</p>\n<p>Likewise, the Bluefield-3 data processing unit (DPU) is a new chip designed to accelerate and secure data center infrastructure. Specifically, DPUs off-load services like networking, storage, and security, boosting the performance of central processing units (CPU).</p>\n<p>Finally, NVIDIA recently announced the Grace CPU. Set to launch in 2023, this ARM-based processor will accelerate AI workloads by a factor of 10. Moreover, alongside the DPU and GPU, it will make NVIDIA a three-chip company. CEO Jensen Huang believes this vertical integration will be a significant advantage, allowing NVIDIA to \"re-architect the data center to advance AI.\"</p>\n<h2><b>2. Autonomous vehicles</b></h2>\n<p>The NVIDIA DRIVE platform is designed to power autonomous vehicles (AVs). It combines in-car hardware with AI software, allowing vehicles to see, think, and move safely through their environments. In a recent report from advisory firm Navigant Research, NVIDIA DRIVE ranked as the No. 1 AV compute platform on the market.</p>\n<p>The brains behind this system is NVIDIA Orin, a supercomputer that delivers 254 TOPS of performance, meaning it can perform 254 trillion operations per second. By comparison, the latest chip from <b>Intel</b>'s&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MBLY\">Mobileye</a> -- the No. 2 player in Navigant's report -- delivers just 24 TOPS.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1d24136b7828e9c57db066423f43bfd7\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"525\"><span>The NVIDIA Orin. Image source: NVIDIA.</span></p>\n<p>While NVIDIA Orin won't ship until 2022, automakers like <b>NIO</b> &nbsp;and <b>Volvo</b> have already selected NVIDIA DRIVE to power their autonomous fleets. As a result, NVIDIA is set to recognize $8 billion in automotive revenue over the next six years. But that small figure doesn't scratch the surface of its long-term potential.</p>\n<p>Management believes the AV platform market will reach $25 billion by 2025. Given its competitive edge, NVIDIA could capture the lion's share of that figure. And if that happens, automotive sales could become a third major revenue stream for NVIDIA, supplementing its gaming and data center businesses.</p>\n<h2><b>3. NVIDIA Omniverse</b></h2>\n<p>This summer, NVIDIA will launch Omniverse, a platform that allows clients to build 3D simulations in real time. It connects industry-leading design tools from partners like <b>Autodesk</b> and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a></b>, enabling collaboration in a shared virtual space. This is a big deal for three reasons.</p>\n<p>First, Omniverse will accelerate AI. NVIDIA DRIVE Sim&nbsp;is an Omniverse-powered application that allows clients to generate synthetic driving data. That data can then be used in the real world to train AI models for autonomous vehicles.</p>\n<p>Second, Omniverse is a subscription product. That's noteworthy because semiconductor sales tend to be cyclical, which can cause lumpy revenue growth. But subscription sales are typically recurring in nature, meaning Omniverse could help NVIDIA grow its top line more consistently.</p>\n<p>Third, NVIDIA believes this is a stepping-stone to the Metaverse. If you're unfamiliar with the term, the idea comes from science fiction. The Metaverse refers to a persistent virtual world, a digital reality where people can interact and share experiences.</p>\n<p>Here's the big picture: The virtual reality market will hit $69 billion by 2028, according to Grand View Research. And so far, NVIDIA Omniverse is gaining traction rapidly. During the three-month beta testing period, it was downloaded by over 17,000 users.</p>\n<h2>A final word</h2>\n<p>To summarize, NVIDIA benefits from a solid competitive position and a massive market opportunity. Both advantages should be growth drivers over the coming decade.

Then in 2006, it introduced the CUDA programming model, turning GPUs into general-purpose processors. Together, these innovations transformed NVIDIA into a supercomputing company, powering its rise in the data center market.\nNVIDIA hasn't lost that innovative spark, and its pipeline is full of products that could be growth drivers over the coming decade. In fact, if the company executes on its massive market opportunity, I think NVIDIA could be bigger than Apple by 2031. Here are three reasons why.\nImage source: Getty Images\n1. The data center\nCurrently, NVIDIA controls over 90% of the data center accelerator market. Over the past 12 months, its data center business generated $7.6 billion in revenue, up 117%. But management sees a much larger market opportunity -- which could generate $100 billion by 2024.\nTo that end, NVIDIA recently launched the DGX SuperPOD, a turnkey solution for enterprise artificial intelligence (AI). This cloud-native supercomputer simplifies AI, delivering in one platform all of the resources (i.e., hardware and software) clients need to build and deploy AI applications.\nLikewise, the Bluefield-3 data processing unit (DPU) is a new chip designed to accelerate and secure data center infrastructure. Specifically, DPUs off-load services like networking, storage, and security, boosting the performance of central processing units (CPU).\nFinally, NVIDIA recently announced the Grace CPU. Set to launch in 2023, this ARM-based processor will accelerate AI workloads by a factor of 10. Moreover, alongside the DPU and GPU, it will make NVIDIA a three-chip company. CEO Jensen Huang believes this vertical integration will be a significant advantage, allowing NVIDIA to \"re-architect the data center to advance AI.\"\n2. Autonomous vehicles\nThe NVIDIA DRIVE platform is designed to power autonomous vehicles (AVs). It combines in-car hardware with AI software, allowing vehicles to see, think, and move safely through their environments. In a recent report from advisory firm Navigant Research, NVIDIA DRIVE ranked as the No. 1 AV compute platform on the market.\nThe brains behind this system is NVIDIA Orin, a supercomputer that delivers 254 TOPS of performance, meaning it can perform 254 trillion operations per second. By comparison, the latest chip from Intel's Mobileye -- the No. 2 player in Navigant's report -- delivers just 24 TOPS.\nThe NVIDIA Orin. Image source: NVIDIA.\nWhile NVIDIA Orin won't ship until 2022, automakers like NIO  and Volvo have already selected NVIDIA DRIVE to power their autonomous fleets. As a result, NVIDIA is set to recognize $8 billion in automotive revenue over the next six years. But that small figure doesn't scratch the surface of its long-term potential.\nManagement believes the AV platform market will reach $25 billion by 2025. Given its competitive edge, NVIDIA could capture the lion's share of that figure. And if that happens, automotive sales could become a third major revenue stream for NVIDIA, supplementing its gaming and data center businesses.\n3. NVIDIA Omniverse\nThis summer, NVIDIA will launch Omniverse, a platform that allows clients to build 3D simulations in real time. It connects industry-leading design tools from partners like Autodesk and Adobe, enabling collaboration in a shared virtual space. This is a big deal for three reasons.\nFirst, Omniverse will accelerate AI. NVIDIA DRIVE Sim is an Omniverse-powered application that allows clients to generate synthetic driving data. That data can then be used in the real world to train AI models for autonomous vehicles.\nSecond, Omniverse is a subscription product. That's noteworthy because semiconductor sales tend to be cyclical, which can cause lumpy revenue growth. But subscription sales are typically recurring in nature, meaning Omniverse could help NVIDIA grow its top line more consistently.\nThird, NVIDIA believes this is a stepping-stone to the Metaverse. If you're unfamiliar with the term, the idea comes from science fiction. The Metaverse refers to a persistent virtual world, a digital reality where people can interact and share experiences.\nHere's the big picture: The virtual reality market will hit $69 billion by 2028, according to Grand View Research. And so far, NVIDIA Omniverse is gaining traction rapidly. During the three-month beta testing period, it was downloaded by over 17,000 users.\nA final word\nTo summarize, NVIDIA benefits from a solid competitive position and a massive market opportunity. Both advantages should be growth drivers over the coming decade. But will they be enough to eclipse Apple's current market cap of $2.1 trillion?\nNo one knows the future, but I think it's possible. Since fiscal 2016 (ended Jan. 31, 2016), NVIDIA's revenue has grown at 29% per year. If it can maintain an annual growth rate of just 17% over the next decade (assuming its price-to-sales ratio remains unchanged), NVIDIA's market cap would reach $2.2 trillion in 2031.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":172,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":166932369,"gmtCreate":1623987533651,"gmtModify":1703825786917,"author":{"id":"3555810485403982","authorId":"3555810485403982","name":"Jo96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a8f7e88de203a82e2c93624c556c5ce","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555810485403982","authorIdStr":"3555810485403982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/166932369","repostId":"1180977741","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1180977741","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623981539,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1180977741?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-18 09:58","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Palantir: The Untold Truth","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1180977741","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nPalantir is often criticized for its lofty valuation multiples, stagnating customer base an","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Palantir is often criticized for its lofty valuation multiples, stagnating customer base and its bleak margin profile.</li>\n <li>But the company is actually doing well in terms of customer growth, margin expansion and government order wins.</li>\n <li>Investors with a long-term time horizon may want to accumulate its shares on potential price corrections.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6abc7f93f4c7e615f66dca20523d1c16\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1077\"><span>C Flanigan/Getty Images Entertainment</span></p>\n<p>Palantir (PLTR) is lately being lambasted in various investing forums on speculative grounds such as how its growth momentum could fizzle out soon, how its margin profile is dragging the company down and that the stock doesn’t justify its price premium.

On the contrary, the data analytics firm is performing well on several parameters – such as customer growth, government order wins and margin expansion – which should come as an encouraging sign for its long-side investors and dispel such speculative bearish narratives.

I’ve explained in my prior articles how the company is undertaking a slew of measures – such as adopting a customer-friendly&nbsp;payment model, ramping up its&nbsp;sales function&nbsp;and introducing&nbsp;free trials&nbsp;for major enterprises – to expand its customer base. These initiatives were announced only a few months ago, and will continue for the rest of FY21, so I expect Palantir to continue adding customers at a rapid rate in near future as well.</p>\n<p>Having said that, there’s no denying that Palantir’s customer base isn’t as sizable as some of its peers, but that’s also where its growth opportunity lies. It suggests that Palantir is yet to penetrate its target market in a big way and that its lower base effect makes it easier for the company to continue expanding its customer base at elevated rates.</p>\n<p>There are broadly four takeaways here, which, by the way, the bears seem to discount time and again. These are:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Palantir's target market isn't saturated yet and it can still find new customers with ease,</li>\n <li>These new customers are bound to lift the company’s revenue higher in 2021 by a varied magnitude, depending on their contract value,</li>\n <li>If these are recurring contracts, then that’s going to boost Palantir’s future revenue projections and guidance,</li>\n <li>If these new customers eventually ramp up their spend, then that's also going to boost Palantir’s future cash flows.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Regarding the last bullet, it's worth noting that Palantir’s top 20 customers, in general, have significantly ramped up their spending on the company’s data analytics platforms in each of the last 10 years. This new batch of customers, and any future customer additions, could also go through this spending expansion phase in the subsequent years and gradually boost Palantir’s revenue along the way. So, we must give due importance to its rapid pace of customer adds and not take it lightly.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f4923a1dd5cc6af812c6dd7b8335f878\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"426\"><span>(Source: BusinessQuant.com)</span></p>\n<p><b>Margin Expansion</b></p>\n<p>Another issue with assessing Palantir’s growth prospects is that the company isn’t profitable yet. While some feel the stock will remain subdued due to its weak margin profile, others feel it can collapse down to single digits. The frustration is understandable given the company posted a net loss of $0.07 per share in its most recent quarter.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/facd3a7bf5326c841c6f0e79d392d160\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"125\"><span>(Source:Seeking Alpha)</span></p>\n<p>But I wanted to see for myself if Palantir’s margin profile was actually as hopeless as many believe it to be. So, I compiled the margin profiles for about 90 software infrastructure stocks listed on US bourses. There's no denying that the company's net profit margin is in the red. But what's surprising here is that Palantir had actually posted one of the highest sequential net margin expansions in Q1, in its peer group. To the best of my knowledge, this aspect of Palantir’s business hasn’t been discussed on any investing forum.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/25614333f421bbcdaf90b43a6ed8e011\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"552\"><span>(Source: BusinessQuant.com)</span></p>\n<p>The company may not have been profitable so far, but that doesn’t mean it will remain unprofitable in the future as well. If its recent pace of margin expansion continues in the next several quarters, the company could become profitable in the next 2 to 3 years without sacrificing on its growth momentum. So, let’s give credit where it’s due. The community of professional analysts also shares this line of thought and projects Palantir's margin profile to materially improve going forward.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b0017c547d56295730e8f7f4124935d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"400\"><span>(Source:MarketScreener)</span></p>\n<p>Besides, with public shareholding involved now, its management is likely to be under constant pressure to deliver breakneck revenue growth rates, and/or achieve profitability in the near future, or risk being voted out of their positions. This pressure may not have been as intense prior to its direct listing, when fewer shareholders were involved. So, overall, I don’t think Palantir’s margin profile is hopeless as many believe it to be, and I expect the company to become profitable by 2024.</p>\n<p><b>Government Contract Wins</b></p>\n<p>Moving on, Palantir has been doing extremely well when it comes to securing government contracts. B2G contracts are generally tough to win – given the extensive qualification criteria, long turnaround times and heightened competition – but Palantir seems to have the figured out recipe for success on the government side of its business. For the uninitiated, its revenue from government contracts rose 76% year over year, accounted for about 61% of the company's overall revenue, in Q1.</p>\n<p>Unless the company botches up somewhere, these government agencies are likely going to internally recommend it for varied applications. They won’t have to qualify Palantir time and again for several criteria which could drive these internal cross-agency referrals in a speedy manner and these agencies might even ramp up their spending in pre-existing contracts. So, Palantir just needs to rinse-and-repeat its B2G (Business-to-Government) strategy, and its government revenue could continue growing rapidly.</p>\n<p>Palantir has also made steady progress with regards to its government business so far in Q2. Its Q2 is still ongoing, but at the time of this writing, the company has over $36 million worth of new current action obligations from government deals, agreements and contracts, most of which haven’t made the headlines. For the uninitiated, a new deal could be an addition to pre-existing deal, expand the scope of previously agreed upon deliverables, it could be entirely new in nature, have varied execution periods that span from months to years and/or also have a recurring revenue stream attached to it.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/091203d7b476076ff008ca0c3b0f6ad2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"352\"><span>(Source: BusinessQuant.com)</span></p>\n<p>So, while there are several variables that prevent us from reliably estimating the near-term revenue impact from these deals, Palantir’s shareholders with a long-term time horizon should feel reassured that their company continues to make steady progress towards growing its government business.</p>\n<p><b>Final Thoughts</b></p>\n<p>Palantir’s shares are currently trading at about 43-times its trailing twelve-month sales which is, undeniably, high by conventional standards.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/40584e7d2ca5458e8609338887f80e2f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"361\"><span>(Source: BusinessQuant.com)</span></p>\n<p>However, its rich valuations alone shouldn't be the basis of a bear thesis. Palantir's valuation multiples may be high, but note from the chart above thatits revenue growth rate in Q1 was also higher than most of its peers.</p>\n<p>So, I believe the price premium is justified by the company’s rapid pace of revenue growth (illustrated in the chart above), its qualitative growth catalysts discussed in this article and its relatively secure government revenue stream.</p>\n<p>Keeping these factors in mind, investors with a multi-year time horizon may want to increase exposure to Palantir on potential price corrections. The stock is likely to reach new highs as its growth catalysts eventually materialize, and as the company approaches profitability, in the next 2 to 3 years.

These initiatives were announced only a few months ago, and will continue for the rest of FY21, so I expect Palantir to continue adding customers at a rapid rate in near future as well.\nHaving said that, there’s no denying that Palantir’s customer base isn’t as sizable as some of its peers, but that’s also where its growth opportunity lies. It suggests that Palantir is yet to penetrate its target market in a big way and that its lower base effect makes it easier for the company to continue expanding its customer base at elevated rates.\nThere are broadly four takeaways here, which, by the way, the bears seem to discount time and again. These are:\n\nPalantir's target market isn't saturated yet and it can still find new customers with ease,\nThese new customers are bound to lift the company’s revenue higher in 2021 by a varied magnitude, depending on their contract value,\nIf these are recurring contracts, then that’s going to boost Palantir’s future revenue projections and guidance,\nIf these new customers eventually ramp up their spend, then that's also going to boost Palantir’s future cash flows.\n\nRegarding the last bullet, it's worth noting that Palantir’s top 20 customers, in general, have significantly ramped up their spending on the company’s data analytics platforms in each of the last 10 years. This new batch of customers, and any future customer additions, could also go through this spending expansion phase in the subsequent years and gradually boost Palantir’s revenue along the way. So, we must give due importance to its rapid pace of customer adds and not take it lightly.\n(Source: BusinessQuant.com)\nMargin Expansion\nAnother issue with assessing Palantir’s growth prospects is that the company isn’t profitable yet. While some feel the stock will remain subdued due to its weak margin profile, others feel it can collapse down to single digits. The frustration is understandable given the company posted a net loss of $0.07 per share in its most recent quarter.\n(Source:Seeking Alpha)\nBut I wanted to see for myself if Palantir’s margin profile was actually as hopeless as many believe it to be. So, I compiled the margin profiles for about 90 software infrastructure stocks listed on US bourses. There's no denying that the company's net profit margin is in the red. But what's surprising here is that Palantir had actually posted one of the highest sequential net margin expansions in Q1, in its peer group. To the best of my knowledge, this aspect of Palantir’s business hasn’t been discussed on any investing forum.\n(Source: BusinessQuant.com)\nThe company may not have been profitable so far, but that doesn’t mean it will remain unprofitable in the future as well. If its recent pace of margin expansion continues in the next several quarters, the company could become profitable in the next 2 to 3 years without sacrificing on its growth momentum. So, let’s give credit where it’s due. The community of professional analysts also shares this line of thought and projects Palantir's margin profile to materially improve going forward.\n(Source:MarketScreener)\nBesides, with public shareholding involved now, its management is likely to be under constant pressure to deliver breakneck revenue growth rates, and/or achieve profitability in the near future, or risk being voted out of their positions. This pressure may not have been as intense prior to its direct listing, when fewer shareholders were involved. So, overall, I don’t think Palantir’s margin profile is hopeless as many believe it to be, and I expect the company to become profitable by 2024.\nGovernment Contract Wins\nMoving on, Palantir has been doing extremely well when it comes to securing government contracts. B2G contracts are generally tough to win – given the extensive qualification criteria, long turnaround times and heightened competition – but Palantir seems to have the figured out recipe for success on the government side of its business. For the uninitiated, its revenue from government contracts rose 76% year over year, accounted for about 61% of the company's overall revenue, in Q1.\nUnless the company botches up somewhere, these government agencies are likely going to internally recommend it for varied applications. They won’t have to qualify Palantir time and again for several criteria which could drive these internal cross-agency referrals in a speedy manner and these agencies might even ramp up their spending in pre-existing contracts. So, Palantir just needs to rinse-and-repeat its B2G (Business-to-Government) strategy, and its government revenue could continue growing rapidly.\nPalantir has also made steady progress with regards to its government business so far in Q2. Its Q2 is still ongoing, but at the time of this writing, the company has over $36 million worth of new current action obligations from government deals, agreements and contracts, most of which haven’t made the headlines. For the uninitiated, a new deal could be an addition to pre-existing deal, expand the scope of previously agreed upon deliverables, it could be entirely new in nature, have varied execution periods that span from months to years and/or also have a recurring revenue stream attached to it.\n(Source: BusinessQuant.com)\nSo, while there are several variables that prevent us from reliably estimating the near-term revenue impact from these deals, Palantir’s shareholders with a long-term time horizon should feel reassured that their company continues to make steady progress towards growing its government business.\nFinal Thoughts\nPalantir’s shares are currently trading at about 43-times its trailing twelve-month sales which is, undeniably, high by conventional standards.\n(Source: BusinessQuant.com)\nHowever, its rich valuations alone shouldn't be the basis of a bear thesis. Palantir's valuation multiples may be high, but note from the chart above thatits revenue growth rate in Q1 was also higher than most of its peers.\nSo, I believe the price premium is justified by the company’s rapid pace of revenue growth (illustrated in the chart above), its qualitative growth catalysts discussed in this article and its relatively secure government revenue stream.\nKeeping these factors in mind, investors with a multi-year time horizon may want to increase exposure to Palantir on potential price corrections. The stock is likely to reach new highs as its growth catalysts eventually materialize, and as the company approaches profitability, in the next 2 to 3 years.

Snowflake was at the time of its IPO, a unprofitable software company, which is why it was interesting that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) , which normally eschews investing in software or cloud companies actually wound up&nbsp;investing $735 million or 6.1 million Snowflake shares at the $120 IPO price.</p>\n<p>On September 18, 2020, CEO Frank Slootman,in an interview, disclosed that Berkshire's insurance unit has been using Snowflake's services for quite awhile and that might be part of the reason that Berkshire was comfortable enough to invest in Snowflake's stock. The Slootman interview also disclosed that Snowflake's interactions with Berkshire have been through Todd Combs, the CEO of Berkshire holding GEICO. Since Todd Combs also serves as a Berkshire investment manager, he is probably the one directly responsible for the Snowflake investment and not Buffett.</p>\n<p>Salesforce Ventures (NYSE:CRM)&nbsp;also decided to make an investment&nbsp;of more than $500 million in the company at the IPO, as a play on digital transformation and long term cloud adoption. Snowflake's stock soared in the months following its IPO, partially due to investors being interested in the fastest growing of all the fast growing digital transformation plays and partially due to Snowflake receiving the seal of approval from both Berkshire and Salesforce.</p>\n<p>Snowflake finally ended up reached an all time high of $429.00 within the December 8th market session, at which point Snowflake was selling for 245x Sales and was already being called \"The Most Highly Valued Large Cap Company in History\".</p>\n<p>Eventually, due to&nbsp;fears of rising interest rates and inflation, investors began losing enthusiasm for stocks selling at high valuations and nervous investors have since sold Snowflake's stock down to the point where it had reached all time lows of $184.71 per share on May 13. Since, then the stock has risen slightly over 30% and the question now becomes for investors, \"Is Snowflake a buy at current prices, even though, the company still sells for around 85X sales?\"</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/324a101dce1df05ccb338b782dd193d3\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>This article will go through some of the reasons why many investors are still very infatuated with Snowflake and also go through recent earnings, as well as explain why I consider Snowflake a buy for very aggressive investors.</p>\n<p><b>Snowflake CEO Frank Slootman</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake was founded in July 2012 by two former Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) engineers Benoit Dageville and Thierry Cruanes, along with Marcin Żukowski, co-founder of the Dutch start-up Vectorwise. The first CEO of Snowflake was Mike Speiser, a venture capitalist at Sutter Hill Ventures. In June 2014, Snowflake appointed former Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) executive Bob Muglia as CEO, as the company emerged from stealth mode.</p>\n<p>In May 2019, the company decided to change the leadership team again to Frank Slootman, the retired former CEO of ServiceNow (NASDAQ:NOW), who joined Snowflake as its CEO and Michael Scarpelli, the former CFO of ServiceNow who joined Snowflake as CFO.</p>\n<p>In an&nbsp;article Beth Kindig wrote for Forbes&nbsp;near the date of the IPO, she indicated that the change of CEOs from Bob Muglia to Frank Slootman likely occurred because of pressure from private investors that wanted leadership from someone that had a proven track record of showing that they could grow an enterprise tech company very quickly and who also could make a successful profitable exit for investors in an IPO. Investors got that type of CEO in Frank Slootman, who has a type of \"Rockstar\" status among CEOs.</p>\n<blockquote>\n “He’s one of the most impressive, most accomplished, most respected CEOs in enterprise tech,” said Asheem Chandna, a software investor at Greylock Partners, which invested in the first two companies Slootman took public, Data Domain (later acquired by EMC and now part ofDell) and ServiceNow. “He’s a take-no-prisoners leader. He can point at a hill and inspire the entire team to follow him to take the hill.”\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Source:CNBC\n</blockquote>\n<p>Frank Slootman already had a rich history that involved turning around a company called Data Domain, which was detailed in his book “TAPE SUCKS: Inside Data Domain, A Silicon Valley Growth Story”. When Slootman first took over Data Domain in 2003, the company had no customers, no revenues, and was a few months away from bankruptcy. In six years, Slootman grew Data Domain to the point where it was selling more than all of its competitors combined. Slootman then successfully sold the company to EMC (NYSE:DELL) in 2009 for $2.1 billion and the&nbsp;Data Domain product line has been Dell EMC's flagship platform&nbsp;for backup, archive and disaster recovery ever since.</p>\n<p>Two years later, Slootman took over the CEO role of ServiceNow between 2011 to 2017. Part of Slootman's accomplishments at ServiceNow was guiding the company to a 2012 IPO.</p>\n<p>For individuals that think that&nbsp;the role of the CEO is essential for a company's success, Snowflake has perhaps one of the best CEOs in the tech sector and the presence of CEO Frank Slootman alone, should be reason enough to consider Snowflake as an investment.</p>\n<p><b>The Data Cloud</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake is a cloud native company that offers unlimited storage and compute in the cloud in a manner designed to be flexible and convenient for companies. Snowflake was built with the purpose of replacing legacy&nbsp;data warehouses. The Snowflake platform is essentially a complete redesign and reimagining of data warehouse architecture and technology</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f08eef11f814a575de7b02b82c5f49bb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"176\"><span>Source:Snowflake Presentation titled \"A Detailed View Inside Snowflake\"</span></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The problem with how many companies handle data today, is that they have what is known as a&nbsp;siloed data&nbsp;problem. Siloed data simply means that the same information is often stored in different databases, leading to inconsistencies between data located in different parts of the company. Siloed data also often makes it difficult to join data to gain new insights or have the ability to act quickly on any new data.</p>\n<p>Snowflake gives company's the ability to join all of their data together and eliminate discrepancies between data from different sources, and reduce&nbsp;data latency. With joined data and reduced data latency, comes the ability for companies to use new incoming data quickly and this is a huge driver for Snowflake's business. When companies become Snowflake customers, they often find that what used to take hours or days to go through data now only takes minutes.</p>\n<p>With Snowflake's innovations, data is now moving from an era of simply informing people to driving operations right as the information signals come in with very little latency. No more will important business decisions be done with only anecdotal observation. Business decisions will increasingly be data driven. That is what digital transformation actually means for a business.</p>\n<p>Every business, in order to survive will eventually have to digitally transform and Snowflake is becoming an essential building block for digital transformation. The&nbsp;<b>Data Cloud</b>is the building block of digital transformation and Snowflake is evolving to become the largest independent&nbsp;<b>Data Cloud</b>.</p>\n<p><b>Data Sharing</b></p>\n<p>Anyone that has a Snowflake account is capable of sharing data. Data sharing is about to become an additional important business for Snowflake. Snowflake has already built a Data Marketplace and is on the verge of starting to really monetize it. Just recently,Snowflake announced&nbsp;that it was accelerating data collaboration with more than 500 Listings in the Snowflake Data Marketplace.</p>\n<p>Business will be able to search for what data is being offered on the Data Marketplace with some of the data offers being for free and some data offers for pay. The Snowflake management team expects that in the future, data networking will become frictionless and that today, we are on the beginning edges of a true data exchange network application.</p>\n<p>Snowflake expects data sharing to become a big part of their business moving forward and eventually a big part of any future moat because data sharing can translate into powerful&nbsp;network effects, in that the more businesses use the data sharing through Snowflake's market, the more valuable the Snowflake Data Market will become.</p>\n<p><b>Snowflake Architecture</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4f8ac65aba89c4df78926d8b9684c24d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"363\"><span>Source:Snowflake Presentationtitled \"A Detailed View Inside Snowflake\"</span></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8494b11b7683d8c1c9aa35501c234e01\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"439\"><span>Source:Snowflake User Guide</span></p>\n<p>Snowflake’s novel design consists of three components:</p>\n<ol>\n <li><b>Storage</b>: the persistent storage layer for data stored on Snowflake</li>\n <li><b>Compute</b>: a collection of independent compute resources that execute data processing tasks required for queries. Snowflake also describes this compute as virtual warehouses.</li>\n <li><b>Services</b>: a collection of system services that handle infrastructure, security, metadata, and optimization across the entire Snowflake system</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Snowflake has a decoupled architecture that allows for compute and storage to scale separately. The database storage can be provided from any cloud provider that the customer chooses.</p>\n<p>Query processing or compute takes place in what Snowflake calls virtual warehouses. To simplify things for people that are not data experts, a&nbsp;<b>query</b>&nbsp;is a request for data&nbsp;or information from a database table or combination of tables. Query processing is simply using the compute resources to perform a search for data.</p>\n<p>Snowflake uses massively parallel processing or MPP, in the compute/virtual warehouse setup to process queries.Massively parallel processing&nbsp;is a form of collaborative processing of the same program by two or more processors or in this case virtual warehouses. The advantage of using MPP in the virtual warehouse setup is that the virtual warehouses can access the storage layer independently so as not to compete for compute power.</p>\n<p>Snowflake's virtual warehouses have the ability to access any of the databases in the database storage layer to which they have been granted access, and these virtual warehouses can be created, resized and deleted dynamically as resource needs change. When virtual warehouses execute queries, they transparently and automatically cache data from the database storage layer. Snowflake has the advantage of being able to dynamically bring together the storage, compute and services layers, delivering exactly the resources needed exactly when they are needed, meaning that under a multitude of different usage scenarios, Snowflake is able to dynamically create the right balance of IO, memory, CPU, etc.</p>\n<p>Traditional data warehouse, on the other hand, will often tightly couple the storage, compute, and database services. The disadvantage of doing this is there are performance limitations as the number of workloads and users increase, meaning such a configuration is not very scalable.</p>\n<p>Snowflake's competitors, such as Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) Redshift, for instance, can be disadvantaged when having the compute and storage so tightly coupled, because more often than not more time must be spent manually reconfiguring things, which is a disadvantage.</p>\n<p>One of Snowflake’s&nbsp;unique value propositions&nbsp;is the company’s relatively flexible business model compared to its peers. Snowflake touts this ability on its website:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “Whether you’re a business or technology professional, get the performance, flexibility, and near-infinite scalability to easily load, integrate, analyze and securely share your data.”\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Source:Snowflake\n</blockquote>\n<p>Snowflake's virtual data warehouse setup where workloads share the same data but can run independently, makes it easier for customers to run smaller workloads. Snowflake management calls this the ability to scale down. When a company joins Snowflake, it does not require a big upfront commitment like it might with other companies. Snowflake allows customers to fully customize their services with an ability to scale down to whatever level is needed. Companies only have to pay for the services they need, instead of having to pay for big bulked up packages containing unnecessary services.</p>\n<p>Snowflake’s competitors, on the other hand, often combine compute, storage and services, then require customers to size and pay based on the largest workload, which can make some data warehouses completely unaffordable or inefficient for some companies.</p>\n<p>Snowflake's documentation&nbsp;claims that the Snowflake data platform is not built on any existing database technology or “big data” software platforms such as&nbsp;Hadoop. Instead, Snowflake combines a completely new SQL query engine with an innovative database architecture natively designed for the cloud. This database and query engine helps Snowflake perform faster queries with fewer errors and costs over competitors.</p>\n<p>I don't want this explanation to get too technical for those not familiar with databases, storage or how the cloud works, so for those that want a more technical explanation of Snowflake's architecture, they can read Snowflake's&nbsp;documentation. or read a&nbsp;Snowflake Presentation&nbsp;titled \"A Detailed View Inside Snowflake\".</p>\n<p><b>C3 AI and Snowflake Partner</b></p>\n<p>Before going through earnings, I wanted to highlight&nbsp;some very recent news&nbsp;of a new collaboration between C3.ai (NYSE:AI) and Snowflake.

The RPO results reflected more multimillion-dollar relationships with particular strength in the telecom and technology sectors. Of the $1.4 billion in RPO, Snowflake expects approximately 54% to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months.</p>\n<p>Snowflake defines RPO in its&nbsp;earnings press release&nbsp;as the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been recognized, including both deferred revenue and non-cancelable contracted amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods.</p>\n<p>RPO excludes performance obligations from on-demand arrangements and certain time and materials contracts that are billed in arrears.<b>RPO is not necessarily indicative of future product revenue growth because it does not account for the timing of customers’ consumption or their consumption of more than their contracted capacity</b>.</p>\n<p>At the end of Q1, Snowflake had 4,532 total customers. The total number reflects the addition of 393 net new customers in Q1, including three seven-figure new customers. Several of these customer wins might be recognizable names to investors that include Datadog (NASDAQ:DDOG) and Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ:WBA) and Equifax (NYSE:EFX).</p>\n<p>Snowflake management has stated that they have a strong interest in penetrating more of the largest enterprises globally because they provide the largest opportunity for account expansion. On that note, Snowflake now has 104 customers with trailing 12-month product revenue greater than $1 million, up from 77 last quarter. CFO Michael Scarpelli had some interesting things to say about Snowflake expanding with large customers that shows why the company's products are gaining fans among large enterprises</p>\n<blockquote>\n When we expand within our largest customers, we typically replace more than one solution. In many cases, we replace on-premise and first-generation cloud solutions, and we address new workloads.\n <b>Snowflake creates use cases that were previously impossible</b>. This is what fuels our 168% net revenue retention rate, and we remain confident that our net revenue retention will stay above 160% for the fiscal year.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Source: CFO Michael Scarpelli -Snowflake Q1 FY2022 Earnings Call\n</blockquote>\n<p>Snowflake's&nbsp;net revenue retention rate of 168% is probably the best&nbsp;number in the SaaS world. Snowflake calculates their net retention number by first specifying a measurement period consisting of the trailing two years from the current period end. Next, Snowflake defines the measurement cohort as the population of customers under capacity contracts that used the platform at any point in the first month of the first year of the measurement period. The net revenue retention is then defined as the quotient obtained by dividing the product revenue from the cohort in the second year of the measurement period by the product revenue from this cohort in the first year of the measurement period.</p>\n<p>So a net retention rate of 168% means that the customer cohort that spent $100 on average in the first year of the measurement period on the Snowflake platform is spending on average $168 in the second year of the measurement period.. Any customer in the cohort that did not use the platform in the second year remains in the calculation and simply contributes zero product revenue in the second year.</p>\n<p>Snowflake grew product and total revenues grew 110% year over year to $229 million. Product revenue grew to $214 million, reflecting strength in Snowflake consumption. Product revenue is a key metric for Snowflake because revenue is recognized based on platform consumption, which is inherently variable at the customers discretion, and not based on the amount and duration of contract terms. Professional services and other revenue was 15 million.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b09f8c93a8df1f1ad6663d3c88240f18\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>As explained in Snowflake's&nbsp;Q1 FY2022 earnings release, product revenue primarily includes compute, storage, and data transfer resources, which are consumed by customers on Snowflake's platform as a single, integrated offering. Snowflake customers have the ability to consume more than their contracted capacity during the contract term and may have the ability to roll over unused capacity to future periods, generally on the purchase of additional capacity at renewal.</p>\n<p>Snowflake's consumption-based business model distinguishes the company from subscription-based SaaS companies that generally recognize revenue ratably over the contract term and may not permit rollover of services. Because customers have flexibility in the timing of their consumption, which can exceed their contracted capacity or extend beyond the original contract term in many cases, Snowflake believes that the amount of product revenue recognized in a given period is an important indicator of customer satisfaction and the value derived from the platform.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cbf138441130b474d888f2b8c3b6a14d\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Snowflake's Cost of Sales was $97.35 million. Snowflake's overall Gross Profit rose 98.6% to $131.57 million. Overall Gross Margins were 57.47% and on a non-GAAP basis, Snowflake's<b>product</b>gross margin was 72%, up from 66% in the comparable quarter last year<b>.</b></p>\n<p>Favorable cloud service agreements, growing scale across different regions and Snowflake's enterprise customer's success all contributed to steady product gross margin improvements. Management also indicated during the earnings call that in the long term, the product gross margin number could trend upward into the mid 70’s with the help of improved data storage economics. The recent changes to Snowflake’s storage representation of data have resulted in better data compression and reduced storage costs, which help the gross margin.</p>\n<blockquote>\n And the way it [Data Compression] improves margin is because storage becomes more efficient. Storage is a smaller component of the overall mix of the revenue, and compute is the real value of our software that drives more margin. And I will say we did roll this out in April, and you do see some of that coming into an impact on last quarter. But we did say at our IPO, if you remember, we thought we could get to the mid-70s [in product gross margins]. That might feel very good that we'll get to the mid-70s.

Some analysts like Patrick Colville of Deutsche Bank think&nbsp;guidance is conservative&nbsp;because it implies that Snowflake would only capture about 12% of the $86B data warehouse market estimated for FY29.</p>\n<p>That all goes to show that there are already enormous growth expectations built into this stock because $10 billion in product revenue by the end of 2028 is a fairly ambitious goal.</p>\n<p>One other interesting part of the presentation was that the CFO raised the total addressable market for Snowflake to $90 billion, up from the $81 billion used for the roadshow for the IPO.</p>\n<p><b>Competitors</b></p>\n<p>In addition to database warehouses Druid and Dremio, Snowflake's strongest competitors appear to be the big data warehouse systems from the major cloud players like Amazon's Redshift, Microsoft Azure's Synapse, and Google's Big Query.</p>\n<p>Amazon, Microsoft and Google are all choosing to compete against Snowflake's new ideas in database warehouses by using the time honored tactic of trying to copy as many of Snowflake's features as possible..</p>\n<p>The advantage that Snowflake has over Amazon, Microsoft and Google in those companies trying to play copycat is that those database warehouses don't scale as well across different data sources (namely competing cloud storage services) and the major cloud players are not fully independent database warehouse providers, meaning that in the end, Amazon, Microsoft and Google are trying to lock customers in to as many of their bundled cloud services as possible. Snowflake doesn't care what cloud service a customer uses for services like storage, as Snowflake is truly neutral in the cloud wars, which is very desirable in a&nbsp;multi-cloud world.</p>\n<p>Of all the competitors, Google Big Query is currently the closest competitor to what Snowflake is doing as it also separates storage and compute. The biggest differences between Snowflake and BigQuery comes down to&nbsp;pricing and performance. Beth Kindig, in her article about Snowflake said this about Snowflake vs Big Query:</p>\n<blockquote>\n When it comes to deciding between BigQuery and Snowflake, it can come down to what you do with the database due to pricing structure differences. For instance, Snowflake is a better choice for concurrent users and business intelligence. It’s also a great choice for data-as-a-service, where you might give client access to your data in the form of analytics. BigQuery is perhaps a better choice for ad hoc reporting, where you have occasional complex reports on a quarterly basis or recommendation models and machine learning that require high idle time. Again, these examples are mainly due to pricing structure.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Source: Beth Kindig -Forbes article\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>Risks</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake has significant valuation risk, even with the pullback in the stock price from its highs in December. For Snowflake to expand its valuation any further, it is going to require the company to continue posting outstanding growth numbers.</p>\n<p>Secondarily, Snowflake currently only offers their platform on the public clouds provided by AWS, Azure, and GCP, which are also some of the company's primary competitors. Currently, a substantial majority of Snowflake's business is run on the AWS public cloud.</p>\n<p>So, while Snowflake has some competitive advantages over a cloud giant like AWS, there is a risk that AWS or one of the other cloud giants could use the control of their public cloud to embed innovations for competing offerings to Snowflake or bundle competing products together with other cloud services or leverage their public cloud customer relationships to exclude Snowflake from opportunities. The reason why this risk might not play out in the cloud giants favor is that it appears companies are&nbsp;favoring multi-cloud approaches&nbsp;and have little desire in being locked into only one cloud by a bundled product. That is where Snowflake's Switzerland neutral status in the cloud wars provides some protection but not total protection from this risk.</p>\n<p>On another note, though, because the three major cloud players also provides much of the infrastructure for Snowflake's business model, in the future it is completely possible that Snowflake could face the risk of unfavorable pricing for the use of the underlying cloud infrastructure, which could hurt Snowflake's margins.</p>\n<p>Snowflake could also undergo pricing pressure on the services offered to customers, as a company like Amazon could do something like offer discount pricing for competing services to customers and that scenario could also threaten Snowflake's margins over the longer term. Amazon has been known to use that strategy in other areas of their business in the past.</p>\n<p>Another risk is regulatory. Snowflake must comply with evolving privacy and other data related laws. The requirements for following those laws could be expensive and force the company to make adverse changes to the business, with failure to comply with such laws not being much of an option. Examples of these types of laws are General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).</p>\n<p><b>Valuation</b></p>\n<table>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Company</td>\n   <td>Mkt Cap</td>\n   <td><p>Price/Sales</p></td>\n   <td>Free Cash Flow Margin %</td>\n   <td>EV/Revenues (FWD)</td>\n   <td>Revenue Growth (Y/Y) %</td>\n   <td>Gross Margins %</td>\n   <td>Revenues</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Salesforce</p><p>(CRM)</p></td>\n   <td>$222.53B</td>\n   <td>10.30</td>\n   <td>51.27%</td>\n   <td>8.1</td>\n   <td>22.57%</td>\n   <td>73.92%</td>\n   <td>5.96B</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Snowflake (SNOW)</td>\n   <td>$71.25B</td>\n   <td>87.93</td>\n   <td>1.09%</td>\n   <td>60.4</td>\n   <td>110.4%</td>\n   <td>57.47%</td>\n   <td>228.9M</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Okta (OKTA)</td>\n   <td>$34.63B</td>\n   <td>32.59</td>\n   <td>20.99%</td>\n   <td>27.6</td>\n   <td>37.27%</td>\n   <td>73.66%</td>\n   <td>$251M</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>MongoDB (MDB)</td>\n   <td>$20.76B</td>\n   <td>32.36</td>\n   <td>5.28%</td>\n   <td>26.8</td>\n   <td>39.38%</td>\n   <td>69.98%</td>\n   <td>$181.7M</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Teradata (TDC)</td>\n   <td>$5.23B</td>\n   <td>2.76</td>\n   <td>21.38%</td>\n   <td>2.7</td>\n   <td>13.13%</td>\n   <td>62.53%</td>\n   <td>491M</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Two things are very obvious about the above company comparisons. One is that Snowflake, even with substantial pullback from its all time highs in December is very highly valued on a Price to Sales basis. Second, is that Snowflake was still growing triple digits in the latest quarter, which is pretty amazing.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, investors were not impressed by the guidance given during earnings, nor were they impressed by Snowflake's long term projections given during their recent Investor Day. One thing is for sure, for investors to bid Snowflake's stock up further, the company will have to keep producingmind boggling growth numbers.</p>\n<p>The following is based on 26 Wall Street analysts offering 12-month price targets for Snowflake in the last 3 months. The average price target is $292.12 with a high forecast of $515.00 and a low forecast of $240.60. The average price target represents a 21.41% from the last price of $240.60.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/007fe75a78c7835e52d8edf8bc7f6bed\" tg-width=\"499\" tg-height=\"405\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake is a stock that has very high expectations built into the stock price. The latest earnings and guidance, plus the latest investor day were not enough to get investors excited about pushing the value of the stock much further than it is now.</p>\n<p>However, I think that with a company like Snowflake, one has to take a much longer view than simply looking at one quarter's metrics. I believe it is appropriate to take at least a five year view with this company to see that the future is likely very bright. I believe Snowflake is being very conservative with their long term projections given during Investor Day and if that should prove to be the case, we all might look back several years from now and see with the benefit of hindsight that the stock was actually undervalued.</p>\n<p>I believe that the idea of a Data Cloud and a Data Marketplace are very, very early in the product life cycle and that Snowflake is at the beginning of a strong run of customer and revenue growth over the next several years. Snowflake is a buy but only for&nbsp;<b>veryaggressive investors</b>&nbsp;because there is already a lot of growth embedded in Snowflake's valuation and if the company fails to produce that expected growth, then the stock could drop rapidly.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Snowflake was at the time of its IPO, a unprofitable software company, which is why it was interesting that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) , which normally eschews investing in software or cloud companies actually wound up investing $735 million or 6.1 million Snowflake shares at the $120 IPO price.\nOn September 18, 2020, CEO Frank Slootman,in an interview, disclosed that Berkshire's insurance unit has been using Snowflake's services for quite awhile and that might be part of the reason that Berkshire was comfortable enough to invest in Snowflake's stock. The Slootman interview also disclosed that Snowflake's interactions with Berkshire have been through Todd Combs, the CEO of Berkshire holding GEICO. Since Todd Combs also serves as a Berkshire investment manager, he is probably the one directly responsible for the Snowflake investment and not Buffett.\nSalesforce Ventures (NYSE:CRM) also decided to make an investment of more than $500 million in the company at the IPO, as a play on digital transformation and long term cloud adoption. Snowflake's stock soared in the months following its IPO, partially due to investors being interested in the fastest growing of all the fast growing digital transformation plays and partially due to Snowflake receiving the seal of approval from both Berkshire and Salesforce.\nSnowflake finally ended up reached an all time high of $429.00 within the December 8th market session, at which point Snowflake was selling for 245x Sales and was already being called \"The Most Highly Valued Large Cap Company in History\".\nEventually, due to fears of rising interest rates and inflation, investors began losing enthusiasm for stocks selling at high valuations and nervous investors have since sold Snowflake's stock down to the point where it had reached all time lows of $184.71 per share on May 13. Since, then the stock has risen slightly over 30% and the question now becomes for investors, \"Is Snowflake a buy at current prices, even though, the company still sells for around 85X sales?\"\nData by YCharts\nThis article will go through some of the reasons why many investors are still very infatuated with Snowflake and also go through recent earnings, as well as explain why I consider Snowflake a buy for very aggressive investors.\nSnowflake CEO Frank Slootman\nSnowflake was founded in July 2012 by two former Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) engineers Benoit Dageville and Thierry Cruanes, along with Marcin Żukowski, co-founder of the Dutch start-up Vectorwise. The first CEO of Snowflake was Mike Speiser, a venture capitalist at Sutter Hill Ventures. In June 2014, Snowflake appointed former Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) executive Bob Muglia as CEO, as the company emerged from stealth mode.\nIn May 2019, the company decided to change the leadership team again to Frank Slootman, the retired former CEO of ServiceNow (NASDAQ:NOW), who joined Snowflake as its CEO and Michael Scarpelli, the former CFO of ServiceNow who joined Snowflake as CFO.\nIn an article Beth Kindig wrote for Forbes near the date of the IPO, she indicated that the change of CEOs from Bob Muglia to Frank Slootman likely occurred because of pressure from private investors that wanted leadership from someone that had a proven track record of showing that they could grow an enterprise tech company very quickly and who also could make a successful profitable exit for investors in an IPO. Investors got that type of CEO in Frank Slootman, who has a type of \"Rockstar\" status among CEOs.\n\n “He’s one of the most impressive, most accomplished, most respected CEOs in enterprise tech,” said Asheem Chandna, a software investor at Greylock Partners, which invested in the first two companies Slootman took public, Data Domain (later acquired by EMC and now part ofDell) and ServiceNow. “He’s a take-no-prisoners leader. He can point at a hill and inspire the entire team to follow him to take the hill.”\n\n\n Source:CNBC\n\nFrank Slootman already had a rich history that involved turning around a company called Data Domain, which was detailed in his book “TAPE SUCKS: Inside Data Domain, A Silicon Valley Growth Story”. When Slootman first took over Data Domain in 2003, the company had no customers, no revenues, and was a few months away from bankruptcy. In six years, Slootman grew Data Domain to the point where it was selling more than all of its competitors combined. Slootman then successfully sold the company to EMC (NYSE:DELL) in 2009 for $2.1 billion and the Data Domain product line has been Dell EMC's flagship platform for backup, archive and disaster recovery ever since.\nTwo years later, Slootman took over the CEO role of ServiceNow between 2011 to 2017. Part of Slootman's accomplishments at ServiceNow was guiding the company to a 2012 IPO.\nFor individuals that think that the role of the CEO is essential for a company's success, Snowflake has perhaps one of the best CEOs in the tech sector and the presence of CEO Frank Slootman alone, should be reason enough to consider Snowflake as an investment.\nThe Data Cloud\nSnowflake is a cloud native company that offers unlimited storage and compute in the cloud in a manner designed to be flexible and convenient for companies. Snowflake was built with the purpose of replacing legacy data warehouses. The Snowflake platform is essentially a complete redesign and reimagining of data warehouse architecture and technology\nSource:Snowflake Presentation titled \"A Detailed View Inside Snowflake\"\n\nThe problem with how many companies handle data today, is that they have what is known as a siloed data problem. Siloed data simply means that the same information is often stored in different databases, leading to inconsistencies between data located in different parts of the company. Siloed data also often makes it difficult to join data to gain new insights or have the ability to act quickly on any new data.\nSnowflake gives company's the ability to join all of their data together and eliminate discrepancies between data from different sources, and reduce data latency. With joined data and reduced data latency, comes the ability for companies to use new incoming data quickly and this is a huge driver for Snowflake's business. When companies become Snowflake customers, they often find that what used to take hours or days to go through data now only takes minutes.\nWith Snowflake's innovations, data is now moving from an era of simply informing people to driving operations right as the information signals come in with very little latency. No more will important business decisions be done with only anecdotal observation. Business decisions will increasingly be data driven. That is what digital transformation actually means for a business.\nEvery business, in order to survive will eventually have to digitally transform and Snowflake is becoming an essential building block for digital transformation. The Data Cloudis the building block of digital transformation and Snowflake is evolving to become the largest independent Data Cloud.\nData Sharing\nAnyone that has a Snowflake account is capable of sharing data. Data sharing is about to become an additional important business for Snowflake. Snowflake has already built a Data Marketplace and is on the verge of starting to really monetize it. Just recently,Snowflake announced that it was accelerating data collaboration with more than 500 Listings in the Snowflake Data Marketplace.\nBusiness will be able to search for what data is being offered on the Data Marketplace with some of the data offers being for free and some data offers for pay. The Snowflake management team expects that in the future, data networking will become frictionless and that today, we are on the beginning edges of a true data exchange network application.\nSnowflake expects data sharing to become a big part of their business moving forward and eventually a big part of any future moat because data sharing can translate into powerful network effects, in that the more businesses use the data sharing through Snowflake's market, the more valuable the Snowflake Data Market will become.\nSnowflake Architecture\nSource:Snowflake Presentationtitled \"A Detailed View Inside Snowflake\"\nSource:Snowflake User Guide\nSnowflake’s novel design consists of three components:\n\nStorage: the persistent storage layer for data stored on Snowflake\nCompute: a collection of independent compute resources that execute data processing tasks required for queries. Snowflake also describes this compute as virtual warehouses.\nServices: a collection of system services that handle infrastructure, security, metadata, and optimization across the entire Snowflake system\n\nSnowflake has a decoupled architecture that allows for compute and storage to scale separately. The database storage can be provided from any cloud provider that the customer chooses.\nQuery processing or compute takes place in what Snowflake calls virtual warehouses. To simplify things for people that are not data experts, a query is a request for data or information from a database table or combination of tables. Query processing is simply using the compute resources to perform a search for data.\nSnowflake uses massively parallel processing or MPP, in the compute/virtual warehouse setup to process queries.Massively parallel processing is a form of collaborative processing of the same program by two or more processors or in this case virtual warehouses. The advantage of using MPP in the virtual warehouse setup is that the virtual warehouses can access the storage layer independently so as not to compete for compute power.\nSnowflake's virtual warehouses have the ability to access any of the databases in the database storage layer to which they have been granted access, and these virtual warehouses can be created, resized and deleted dynamically as resource needs change. When virtual warehouses execute queries, they transparently and automatically cache data from the database storage layer. Snowflake has the advantage of being able to dynamically bring together the storage, compute and services layers, delivering exactly the resources needed exactly when they are needed, meaning that under a multitude of different usage scenarios, Snowflake is able to dynamically create the right balance of IO, memory, CPU, etc.\nTraditional data warehouse, on the other hand, will often tightly couple the storage, compute, and database services. The disadvantage of doing this is there are performance limitations as the number of workloads and users increase, meaning such a configuration is not very scalable.\nSnowflake's competitors, such as Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) Redshift, for instance, can be disadvantaged when having the compute and storage so tightly coupled, because more often than not more time must be spent manually reconfiguring things, which is a disadvantage.\nOne of Snowflake’s unique value propositions is the company’s relatively flexible business model compared to its peers. Snowflake touts this ability on its website:\n\n “Whether you’re a business or technology professional, get the performance, flexibility, and near-infinite scalability to easily load, integrate, analyze and securely share your data.”\n\n\n Source:Snowflake\n\nSnowflake's virtual data warehouse setup where workloads share the same data but can run independently, makes it easier for customers to run smaller workloads. Snowflake management calls this the ability to scale down. When a company joins Snowflake, it does not require a big upfront commitment like it might with other companies. Snowflake allows customers to fully customize their services with an ability to scale down to whatever level is needed. Companies only have to pay for the services they need, instead of having to pay for big bulked up packages containing unnecessary services.\nSnowflake’s competitors, on the other hand, often combine compute, storage and services, then require customers to size and pay based on the largest workload, which can make some data warehouses completely unaffordable or inefficient for some companies.\nSnowflake's documentation claims that the Snowflake data platform is not built on any existing database technology or “big data” software platforms such as Hadoop. Instead, Snowflake combines a completely new SQL query engine with an innovative database architecture natively designed for the cloud. This database and query engine helps Snowflake perform faster queries with fewer errors and costs over competitors.\nI don't want this explanation to get too technical for those not familiar with databases, storage or how the cloud works, so for those that want a more technical explanation of Snowflake's architecture, they can read Snowflake's documentation. or read a Snowflake Presentation titled \"A Detailed View Inside Snowflake\".\nC3 AI and Snowflake Partner\nBefore going through earnings, I wanted to highlight some very recent news of a new collaboration between C3.ai (NYSE:AI) and Snowflake. C3 AI is an enterprise AI software provider that provides a suite that provides comprehensive services to build enterprise-scale AI applications more efficiently and cost-effectively than alternative approaches.\nThis partnership will give companies that currently use Snowflake access to the C3 AI® Suite and pre-built C3 AI applications that include a range of industries and enterprise AI use cases, including AI-based CRM, predictive maintenance, supply network optimization, and fraud detection.\n\n C3.ai's chief product officer, Houman Behzadi, said the partnership \"will create significant time and operational efficiencies for Snowflake's customers and solidify Snowflake as the operational data platform of choice for enterprise AI applications.\"\n\n\n Source: C3.ai's chief product officer, Houman Behzadi -ZDNet\n\nSnowflake Q1 FY 2022 Earnings\nSnowflake's Q1 FY 2022 remaining performance obligations or RPO was $1.4 billion, representing 206% year-over-year growth. The RPO results reflected more multimillion-dollar relationships with particular strength in the telecom and technology sectors. Of the $1.4 billion in RPO, Snowflake expects approximately 54% to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months.\nSnowflake defines RPO in its earnings press release as the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been recognized, including both deferred revenue and non-cancelable contracted amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods.\nRPO excludes performance obligations from on-demand arrangements and certain time and materials contracts that are billed in arrears.RPO is not necessarily indicative of future product revenue growth because it does not account for the timing of customers’ consumption or their consumption of more than their contracted capacity.\nAt the end of Q1, Snowflake had 4,532 total customers. The total number reflects the addition of 393 net new customers in Q1, including three seven-figure new customers. Several of these customer wins might be recognizable names to investors that include Datadog (NASDAQ:DDOG) and Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ:WBA) and Equifax (NYSE:EFX).\nSnowflake management has stated that they have a strong interest in penetrating more of the largest enterprises globally because they provide the largest opportunity for account expansion. On that note, Snowflake now has 104 customers with trailing 12-month product revenue greater than $1 million, up from 77 last quarter. CFO Michael Scarpelli had some interesting things to say about Snowflake expanding with large customers that shows why the company's products are gaining fans among large enterprises\n\n When we expand within our largest customers, we typically replace more than one solution. In many cases, we replace on-premise and first-generation cloud solutions, and we address new workloads.\n Snowflake creates use cases that were previously impossible. This is what fuels our 168% net revenue retention rate, and we remain confident that our net revenue retention will stay above 160% for the fiscal year.\n\n\n Source: CFO Michael Scarpelli -Snowflake Q1 FY2022 Earnings Call\n\nSnowflake's net revenue retention rate of 168% is probably the best number in the SaaS world. Snowflake calculates their net retention number by first specifying a measurement period consisting of the trailing two years from the current period end. Next, Snowflake defines the measurement cohort as the population of customers under capacity contracts that used the platform at any point in the first month of the first year of the measurement period. The net revenue retention is then defined as the quotient obtained by dividing the product revenue from the cohort in the second year of the measurement period by the product revenue from this cohort in the first year of the measurement period.\nSo a net retention rate of 168% means that the customer cohort that spent $100 on average in the first year of the measurement period on the Snowflake platform is spending on average $168 in the second year of the measurement period.. Any customer in the cohort that did not use the platform in the second year remains in the calculation and simply contributes zero product revenue in the second year.\nSnowflake grew product and total revenues grew 110% year over year to $229 million. Product revenue grew to $214 million, reflecting strength in Snowflake consumption. Product revenue is a key metric for Snowflake because revenue is recognized based on platform consumption, which is inherently variable at the customers discretion, and not based on the amount and duration of contract terms. Professional services and other revenue was 15 million.\nData by YCharts\nAs explained in Snowflake's Q1 FY2022 earnings release, product revenue primarily includes compute, storage, and data transfer resources, which are consumed by customers on Snowflake's platform as a single, integrated offering. Snowflake customers have the ability to consume more than their contracted capacity during the contract term and may have the ability to roll over unused capacity to future periods, generally on the purchase of additional capacity at renewal.\nSnowflake's consumption-based business model distinguishes the company from subscription-based SaaS companies that generally recognize revenue ratably over the contract term and may not permit rollover of services. Because customers have flexibility in the timing of their consumption, which can exceed their contracted capacity or extend beyond the original contract term in many cases, Snowflake believes that the amount of product revenue recognized in a given period is an important indicator of customer satisfaction and the value derived from the platform.\nData by YCharts\nSnowflake's Cost of Sales was $97.35 million. Snowflake's overall Gross Profit rose 98.6% to $131.57 million. Overall Gross Margins were 57.47% and on a non-GAAP basis, Snowflake'sproductgross margin was 72%, up from 66% in the comparable quarter last year.\nFavorable cloud service agreements, growing scale across different regions and Snowflake's enterprise customer's success all contributed to steady product gross margin improvements. Management also indicated during the earnings call that in the long term, the product gross margin number could trend upward into the mid 70’s with the help of improved data storage economics. The recent changes to Snowflake’s storage representation of data have resulted in better data compression and reduced storage costs, which help the gross margin.\n\n And the way it [Data Compression] improves margin is because storage becomes more efficient. Storage is a smaller component of the overall mix of the revenue, and compute is the real value of our software that drives more margin. And I will say we did roll this out in April, and you do see some of that coming into an impact on last quarter. But we did say at our IPO, if you remember, we thought we could get to the mid-70s [in product gross margins]. That might feel very good that we'll get to the mid-70s. It's going to take some time.\n\n\n Source: CFO Michael Scarpelli -Snowflake Q1 FY2022 Earnings Call\n\nData by YCharts\nTotal Operating Expenditures were $337.16 Million. Snowflake recorded an Operating Loss of $205.60 Million. Product Operating margin was negative 16%, benefiting from revenue outperformance.\nData by YCharts\nSnowflake recorded a net loss of $203.22 Million in Q1. Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted was -$0.70.\nData by YCharts\nAdjusted free cash flow margin was 10% and was positively impacted by strong collections from Q4 bookings and operating margin outperformance. Adjusted free cash flow excludes the $10 million impact of net cash paid or received on both employee and employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock option transactions. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow plus (minus) net cash paid (received) on payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions.\nFree cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities reduced by purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software development costs. Free cash flow was $2.48 million during Q1.\nData by YCharts\nIt is important to remember that Snowflake does experience free cash flow seasonality. In fiscal '21, Q1 and Q4 were the strongest free cash flow quarters, while Q2 was the weakest and this pattern is expected to continue in future periods.\nGuidance\nSnowflake Q2 FY2022 Guidance\nFY 2022 Full Year Guidance\nSource:Snowflake First Quarter of Fiscal 2022 Press Release\nBalance Sheet\nThe company’s balance sheet is healthy, with approximately $3.9 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.\nData by YCharts\nTotal Current Liabilities are $777.00 Million. Quick ratio was 5.27. A good quick ratio is any number greater than 1.0. Snowflake has aDebt To Equity ratioof 0.04.\nData by YCharts\nSnowflake Investor Day\nSnowflake held an Investor Day on June 10th, in which the company revealed plans to reach $10 billion in product revenue by the end of 2028 (FY29), a big rise from fiscal 2021’s $554 million, with a long-term operating margin target of 10%.\nInvestors, however, seem to have wanted even more growth as the stock opened around 4% lower the next day. Some analysts like Patrick Colville of Deutsche Bank think guidance is conservative because it implies that Snowflake would only capture about 12% of the $86B data warehouse market estimated for FY29.\nThat all goes to show that there are already enormous growth expectations built into this stock because $10 billion in product revenue by the end of 2028 is a fairly ambitious goal.\nOne other interesting part of the presentation was that the CFO raised the total addressable market for Snowflake to $90 billion, up from the $81 billion used for the roadshow for the IPO.\nCompetitors\nIn addition to database warehouses Druid and Dremio, Snowflake's strongest competitors appear to be the big data warehouse systems from the major cloud players like Amazon's Redshift, Microsoft Azure's Synapse, and Google's Big Query.\nAmazon, Microsoft and Google are all choosing to compete against Snowflake's new ideas in database warehouses by using the time honored tactic of trying to copy as many of Snowflake's features as possible..\nThe advantage that Snowflake has over Amazon, Microsoft and Google in those companies trying to play copycat is that those database warehouses don't scale as well across different data sources (namely competing cloud storage services) and the major cloud players are not fully independent database warehouse providers, meaning that in the end, Amazon, Microsoft and Google are trying to lock customers in to as many of their bundled cloud services as possible. Snowflake doesn't care what cloud service a customer uses for services like storage, as Snowflake is truly neutral in the cloud wars, which is very desirable in a multi-cloud world.\nOf all the competitors, Google Big Query is currently the closest competitor to what Snowflake is doing as it also separates storage and compute. The biggest differences between Snowflake and BigQuery comes down to pricing and performance. Beth Kindig, in her article about Snowflake said this about Snowflake vs Big Query:\n\n When it comes to deciding between BigQuery and Snowflake, it can come down to what you do with the database due to pricing structure differences. For instance, Snowflake is a better choice for concurrent users and business intelligence. It’s also a great choice for data-as-a-service, where you might give client access to your data in the form of analytics. BigQuery is perhaps a better choice for ad hoc reporting, where you have occasional complex reports on a quarterly basis or recommendation models and machine learning that require high idle time. Again, these examples are mainly due to pricing structure.\n\n\n Source: Beth Kindig -Forbes article\n\nRisks\nSnowflake has significant valuation risk, even with the pullback in the stock price from its highs in December. For Snowflake to expand its valuation any further, it is going to require the company to continue posting outstanding growth numbers.\nSecondarily, Snowflake currently only offers their platform on the public clouds provided by AWS, Azure, and GCP, which are also some of the company's primary competitors. Currently, a substantial majority of Snowflake's business is run on the AWS public cloud.\nSo, while Snowflake has some competitive advantages over a cloud giant like AWS, there is a risk that AWS or one of the other cloud giants could use the control of their public cloud to embed innovations for competing offerings to Snowflake or bundle competing products together with other cloud services or leverage their public cloud customer relationships to exclude Snowflake from opportunities. The reason why this risk might not play out in the cloud giants favor is that it appears companies are favoring multi-cloud approaches and have little desire in being locked into only one cloud by a bundled product. That is where Snowflake's Switzerland neutral status in the cloud wars provides some protection but not total protection from this risk.\nOn another note, though, because the three major cloud players also provides much of the infrastructure for Snowflake's business model, in the future it is completely possible that Snowflake could face the risk of unfavorable pricing for the use of the underlying cloud infrastructure, which could hurt Snowflake's margins.\nSnowflake could also undergo pricing pressure on the services offered to customers, as a company like Amazon could do something like offer discount pricing for competing services to customers and that scenario could also threaten Snowflake's margins over the longer term. Amazon has been known to use that strategy in other areas of their business in the past.\nAnother risk is regulatory. Snowflake must comply with evolving privacy and other data related laws. The requirements for following those laws could be expensive and force the company to make adverse changes to the business, with failure to comply with such laws not being much of an option. Examples of these types of laws are General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).\nValuation\n\n\n\nCompany\nMkt Cap\nPrice/Sales\nFree Cash Flow Margin %\nEV/Revenues (FWD)\nRevenue Growth (Y/Y) %\nGross Margins %\nRevenues\n\n\nSalesforce(CRM)\n$222.53B\n10.30\n51.27%\n8.1\n22.57%\n73.92%\n5.96B\n\n\nSnowflake (SNOW)\n$71.25B\n87.93\n1.09%\n60.4\n110.4%\n57.47%\n228.9M\n\n\nOkta (OKTA)\n$34.63B\n32.59\n20.99%\n27.6\n37.27%\n73.66%\n$251M\n\n\nMongoDB (MDB)\n$20.76B\n32.36\n5.28%\n26.8\n39.38%\n69.98%\n$181.7M\n\n\nTeradata (TDC)\n$5.23B\n2.76\n21.38%\n2.7\n13.13%\n62.53%\n491M\n\n\n\nTwo things are very obvious about the above company comparisons. One is that Snowflake, even with substantial pullback from its all time highs in December is very highly valued on a Price to Sales basis. Second, is that Snowflake was still growing triple digits in the latest quarter, which is pretty amazing.\nOn the other hand, investors were not impressed by the guidance given during earnings, nor were they impressed by Snowflake's long term projections given during their recent Investor Day. One thing is for sure, for investors to bid Snowflake's stock up further, the company will have to keep producingmind boggling growth numbers.\nThe following is based on 26 Wall Street analysts offering 12-month price targets for Snowflake in the last 3 months. The average price target is $292.12 with a high forecast of $515.00 and a low forecast of $240.60. The average price target represents a 21.41% from the last price of $240.60.\n\nConclusion\nSnowflake is a stock that has very high expectations built into the stock price. The latest earnings and guidance, plus the latest investor day were not enough to get investors excited about pushing the value of the stock much further than it is now.\nHowever, I think that with a company like Snowflake, one has to take a much longer view than simply looking at one quarter's metrics. I believe it is appropriate to take at least a five year view with this company to see that the future is likely very bright. I believe Snowflake is being very conservative with their long term projections given during Investor Day and if that should prove to be the case, we all might look back several years from now and see with the benefit of hindsight that the stock was actually undervalued.\nI believe that the idea of a Data Cloud and a Data Marketplace are very, very early in the product life cycle and that Snowflake is at the beginning of a strong run of customer and revenue growth over the next several years. Snowflake is a buy but only for veryaggressive investors because there is already a lot of growth embedded in Snowflake's valuation and if the company fails to produce that expected growth, then the stock could drop rapidly.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":110,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":161149706,"gmtCreate":1623913580605,"gmtModify":1703823362705,"author":{"id":"3555810485403982","authorId":"3555810485403982","name":"Jo96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a8f7e88de203a82e2c93624c556c5ce","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555810485403982","authorIdStr":"3555810485403982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"??","listText":"??","text":"??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/161149706","repostId":"1179102147","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1179102147","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1623909842,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1179102147?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-17 14:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Cathie Wood Adds $11M In Roblox On The Dip","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1179102147","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Cathie Wood-led Ark Investment Management on Wednesday snapped up 134,250 shares, estimated to be wo","content":"<p>Cathie Wood-led Ark Investment Management on Wednesday snapped up 134,250 shares, estimated to be worth about $11.09 million, in&nbsp;<b>Roblox Corp</b>(NYSE:RBLX) on the dip.</p>\n<p>Shares of the company closed 8.03% lower at $82.59 on Wednesday after the company reported a decline in users and their spending on the online entertainment platform.</p>\n<p>The company announced Tuesday after-hours that daily active users were 43 million in May, up 28% from the same month&nbsp;last year and down 1% from 43.3 million in April.</p>\n<p>The New York-based investment firm bought the shares of the company via the&nbsp;<b>Ark Next Generation Internet ETF</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:ARKW).

I mean, you can't get a better leader than they have.\"\nIn the same \"Trading Nation\" interview, Matt Maley, chief market strategist at Miller Tabak, noted that Tesla's stock has been relatively flat for the past several months, trading around its 200-day moving average.\n\n\"You don't see that very often,\" he said. \"Whichever way it breaks away from that 200-day moving average will give us a little bit of a hint [about] its next move.\"\nThe stock is also forming a descending triangle pattern, Maley said, saying the upper end of the pattern is around $650 and the lower end sits at $563. Those are the two levels to watch, and where shares move relative to those levels will be very indicative of where Tesla is headed, he said.\n\"In the past, when the stock has been stuck in this sideways range, once it breaks out, it starts to move in a big way. This should be no different,\" he said.\nTesla's deliveries report in the first week of July could be a breakout catalyst, Maley said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":66,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":349724365,"gmtCreate":1617641253057,"gmtModify":1704701312459,"author":{"id":"3555810485403982","authorId":"3555810485403982","name":"Jo96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a8f7e88de203a82e2c93624c556c5ce","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555810485403982","authorIdStr":"3555810485403982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/349724365","repostId":"1123709980","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1123709980","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617636511,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1123709980?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-05 23:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla: The Time Is Now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1123709980","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"However, there is cause for optimism for the bulls.I'll explain a number of reasons why Tesla is a strong buy.Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News via Getty Images.

Not all growth stocks are created equal, and there were undoubtedly some frothy rallies that took place into the early part of 2021, but opportunities abound if you – like me – think that the rapid economic expansion out of the COVID recession will serve these growth stocks well.</p>\n<p>One name that I haven’t touched much in the past, but that I believe is on the cusp of a big move higher, is electric vehicle OG&nbsp;<b>Tesla</b>(TSLA). Below, I’ll discuss why I like Tesla’s fundamentals at the current price, but the timing of my bullish position is dictated by what we see below.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f72f46ef39a132b1d301fa60da71f7ec\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"633\"><span>Source: StockCharts</span></p>\n<p>I’ve circled the areas that are ~4 weeks out from an upcoming earnings report to show how reliable Tesla has been in advancing – in a big way – into earnings reports. We are just under four weeks away from Tesla’s late-April report, and if history is a guide, the stock is likely to be a lot higher by the time the company reports than it is today. Given the immense weakness we’ve seen in the stock, I think the odds are even higher this time that the stock makes a run into the report than it usually is.</p>\n<p>Not only has Tesla been a big winner trading into earnings releases, but there are signs that the selling is losing momentum. The relative bottom at $539 was met with new momentum lows in the RSI and PPO, but the current move down has seen momentum much higher on a relative basis. That doesn’t guarantee anything, but it does show that the worst of the selling is<i>probably</i>over. I’ve circled the divergences I’m referencing in the chart above, as these are the earliest signs of a bottom being formed.</p>\n<p>Those that read my work know that I trust the accumulation/distribution line, which has never wavered despite the relentless selling we’ve seen. This indicator shows whether investors are buying dips or not and for the A/D line to look like that, on a stock with a massive market capitalization, institutions must be buying. Like the momentum indicators, nothing is certain with the A/D line, but all of this adds up to a stock that looks to me like it is trying to bottom.</p>\n<p>But there’s one more piece of evidence I’d like to offer up that I believe shows Tesla is very oversold and is due for a rally. Below, I’ve plotted the total percentage returns over the prior 50-day period going back to the middle of 2018 to show just how ugly the recent selling has been.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/41235a82786f7c031ead1bbf3aa15c90\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"444\"><span>Source: Author’s chart using historical price data from Yahoo! Finance</span></p>\n<p>Tesla is currently showing 50-day returns of -25%, which has only occurred a handful of times in the past three years. We can see that there was one period of protracted weakness in early 2019 that eventually resolved itself to the upside but did take some time. That was before EV stocks got their massive bid from investors, and I think it is pretty easy to argue that time frame isn’t all that comparable to today.</p>\n<p>What is comparable to today is the time period since 2020 began, and if we look at that, we see that Tesla is more oversold today by this measure than during any of the other drawdowns. I’ll say again none of this guarantees anything, but it certainly looks to me like Tesla is quite oversold on this measure, and keep in mind 50 trading days is roughly two and half months, so this is a longer-term indicator with lots of data points.</p>\n<p>Now, when I put all of this together – the recent decline, the divergences in momentum, the fact that Tesla has been a huge winner into earnings releases, and 50-day rolling returns – all signs point to a much higher stock a month or two down the road.</p>\n<p>Obviously, risks exist. The narrative for growth stocks being crushed has been higher interest rates, and if rates continue higher, it is possible we see more selling in growth names. However, the damage has been pretty severe in a lot of cases, and the interest rate narrative is a couple of months old at this point, so I’m not sure how much more downside there could be relative to what has already taken place.</p>\n<p>Even if you do buy into the idea that higher rates are responsible for growth stocks coming down, it appears to me we have rally exhaustion going on in rates, opposite to what I just explained for Tesla.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8431dcf8a7afbe72249144c017e28ced\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"536\"><span>Source: StockCharts</span></p>\n<p>We can see with this two-year chart that rates are still well below where they were pre-pandemic, with room for another 20 or 30bps before getting back to early-2020 levels. I mention this to say it isn’t like we’re making new highs in rates that should see growth stocks be decimated; this is just a rebound.</p>\n<p>But more importantly, the vertical line I’ve annotated shows that the ten-year has climbed for about a month, making new relative highs repeatedly without any sort of momentum confirmation. The PPO is moving lower, and the 14-day RSI is doing the same thing. This doesn’t guarantee rates are coming down, but it does certainly show the rally is losing steam. Negative divergences like these often portend a change of trend, at least temporarily, and I firmly believe rates have moved too high, too quickly. If you believe rates are responsible for growth stock declines, this should look pretty bullish to you.</p>\n<p><b>Not just a trade</b></p>\n<p>I’ve detailed above why I think Tesla is set up very well right now technically, and I think the stock is on the cusp of a big move higher. However, Tesla isn’t just a trade candidate. I used to be a Tesla hater based on valuation this and valuation that, but the company has proven me wrong time and again. And it isn’t just me; have a look at this chart of revenue estimates, which move up, up, and up some more over time.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8499c62835d88fca8a6c22c7cb8aeae8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"282\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>Revenue estimates have soared for the out years, but also for 2021 and 2022, in recent months. Tesla (read: Musk) has put out some highly ambitious goals over the year, some of which have come to fruition, and some of which haven’t. But this company is a massive disruptor in an industry with literally trillions of dollars on the line in the coming decade and has a huge head start on legacy players that are now trying to play catch up.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/414e539154fdd2ed51e8f5518cc1dee4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"663\"><span>Source: Investor presentation</span></p>\n<p>The company continues to invest billions of dollars in new production capacity for its products, including Gigafactories in Shanghai, Berlin, and Austin. The Roadster will be low volume and likely won’t make much difference for revenue or earnings, but things like the Cybertruck and Semi have enormous potential.</p>\n<p>Tesla has taken big market share gains over the years with a very small lineup of vehicles, and as batteries become cheaper, as ranges get longer, and as more and more localities ban gasoline and diesel vehicles, Tesla is easily the biggest winner. Legacy manufacturers have scale advantages in terms of financing and footprints in place, but they are many years behind Tesla in terms of development.</p>\n<p>The beautiful thing is that Tesla is taking market share, but the market itself is growing rapidly. The adoption of EVs among consumers is still in the very early stages, and for commercial fleets, it is even earlier. This sort of rapidly expanding market is good for all players, but for Tesla, it is taking share in a burgeoning market, creating a virtuous cycle of upward revenue potential. That’s why estimates continue to rise, and why I believe they will continue to do so.</p>\n<p>Entire&nbsp;countries&nbsp;have made public their desire to ban fossil fuel vehicles in the not-too-distant future, which is why the legacy manufacturers are getting serious about EVs; there is no viable alternative at this point. Tesla has been developing for years and is the undisputed leader in the space, so it is in a much better competitive position for the eventual banning of fossil fuel vehicles around the world. Below we have EV market share, where Tesla is leading the way.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e5d31a504c8d24f752bdf964272d0c80\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"415\"><span>Source: Statista</span></p>\n<p>Tesla is in front of the only legacy OEM with any sort of meaningful share, which doesn't even account for the Detroit automakers, which are just getting started.</p>\n<p>Tesla has years of knowledge in battery development - which is a key competitive advantage and differentiator - and it has already invested in manufacturing scale that not only affords higher capacity but a lead over the others that are trying to catch up. In short, Tesla knew the path forward was EVs years before the OEMs, which are now trying to replicate Tesla's success.</p>\n<p>On the earnings front, Tesla used to be a leap of faith that at some point, the company would actually make some money. However, Tesla has now produced a full-year profit, and there appears to be no looking back.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/509625fa57a60dedf709454caef2bf2a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"282\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>Estimates have ramped higher since mid-2019, with steep upward slopes in estimates from 2021 through 2026 moving meaningfully higher. Tesla, in other words, has reached the inflection point with volume where it can cover all of its fixed costs, and reliably stop burning through cash by the hundreds of millions of dollars, which was an issue for years. That’s critically important because Tesla is no longer a leap of faith; it is a company with industry-leading operating margins and huge revenue growth potential.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c2ca244f453cb1ff0d6cf666285f958d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"280\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>If you look at the bottom line in the above table, operating income on a TTM basis was negative through March 2019 but has been positive - and rising - since. That means Tesla has indeed reached the point where profitability is no longer a concern; this is an important step in its maturation process and proof it is now a mainstream automaker.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation and sentiment</b></p>\n<p>The interesting thing is that despite the wave of positive news coming from Tesla itself, and in news items like entire countries planning to ban fossil fuel vehicles, the analyst community is never quite bullish on Tesla.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/464a965b06e8dd2a0e88f7849563b9fd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"188\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>Authors here on<i>Seeking Alpha</i>are, on the whole, bearish leaning, while we see a similar story with Wall Street ratings. I simply don’t agree given the massive potential Tesla has and the fact that it is a proven winner. There are now countless EV manufacturers, but none of them have the scale, product line, and development time in the tool kit that Tesla does.</p>\n<p>And as Tesla continues to take market share in this market that is growing so rapidly, there is a lot of room for analysts to figure out they are on the wrong side of Tesla.</p>\n<p>Finally, let’s take a look at the EV to sales ratios of Tesla and a selection of competitors for the past year.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57b4c81b65d3137aa47507c4757025df\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"186\"><span>Source: TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>Valuations moved a lot higher coming out of the pandemic, but that’s true of just about any sector you can think of; a 100-year pandemic event will crush valuations. Out of that, however, came much higher EV stock valuations for all of the reasons I mentioned above; the market is booming and consumers are responding by buying EVs. However, the massive run-up in valuations has largely been unwound, and I think it is pretty interesting that Tesla, which trades at 13X EV to forward sales, is in the middle of this pack.</p>\n<p>The others on the list can rightly be called startups and have nothing close to the brand recognition, product line, development capability, manufacturing capability, or anything else you can think of when compared to Tesla. That means Tesla’s competitive advantage should be secure for years to come, but it trades for a similar valuation to these others that are sort of like buying Tesla in 2012 or 2013; it might work out, but it might not. Tesla is a very long way down the road in terms of its lifecycle compared to these competitors, so the relative risk is much lower.</p>\n<p><b>Final Thoughts</b></p>\n<p>Tesla is not only winning today, but it is continuing to invest tirelessly into winning tomorrow. Production scale for models like the 3, S, X, and Y is critical because those vehicles are selling today and providing the cash to invest in things like Cybertruck and Semi. Tesla is committed to winning in all stages of the EV market, including not only consumer but commercial as well.</p>\n<p>Semi production&nbsp;isn’t far off, and the company is already receiving&nbsp;interest&nbsp;from buyers. This has the potential for<i>massive</i>market share gains for Tesla in the next decade, but is not a story for 2021, to be clear.</p>\n<p>The point here is that Tesla shares have been beaten down to levels that I believe are low enough to buy. The company has been a reliable winner into earnings reports, which we are slated to see in just over three weeks time. Its market share gains continue to pile up and with its massive head start in the world of EVs, Tesla looks like a clear long-term winner.</p>\n<p>Valuations are rich but have come way down in recent weeks, and I’m going against the grain of recent pieces here on<i>SA</i>and am very bullish on Tesla, not only short term but longer term as well.</p>\n<p>Risks abound, of course, as they do with any automaker. The core risk for any company is that its product doesn't work in the marketplace, but for Tesla, that seems a bit farfetched given the success it has had. Tesla now has a full lineup of vehicles that is ever-expanding, and its brand is hugely valuable given its de factor first-mover advantage in EVs, scaling before the rest of the world thought to do so.</p>\n<p>Given this, the principal risk to Tesla's bull case is not in the business itself, but in the valuation discussion. It is possible that investors will choose to stop paying very high earnings multiples for Tesla in the coming years. This could occur due to missteps from Tesla - such as poor product design, overcapacity, or products consumers simply don't want - or it could come from the intense amount of competition that is likely to come online in the coming years.</p>\n<p>That, to me, is the biggest risk of buying Tesla today because it certainly appears this company is doing all the right things to win in an EV-dominated world. Thus, if you can look past the current valuation, if you're going to buy an automaker, you want to look at Tesla first.</p>","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>Tesla: The Time Is Now</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\">\nTesla: The Time Is Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-05 23:28 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4417634-tesla-the-time-is-now><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nTSLA has been decimated in recent weeks.\nHowever, there is cause for optimism for the bulls.\nI'll explain a number of reasons why Tesla is a strong buy.\n\nPhoto by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4417634-tesla-the-time-is-now\">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/4417634-tesla-the-time-is-now","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1123709980","content_text":"Summary\n\nTSLA has been decimated in recent weeks.\nHowever, there is cause for optimism for the bulls.\nI'll explain a number of reasons why Tesla is a strong buy.\n\nPhoto by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News via Getty Images\nGrowth stocks have been absolutely destroyed in the past couple of months, and in the process, some bargains have been created. Not all growth stocks are created equal, and there were undoubtedly some frothy rallies that took place into the early part of 2021, but opportunities abound if you – like me – think that the rapid economic expansion out of the COVID recession will serve these growth stocks well.\nOne name that I haven’t touched much in the past, but that I believe is on the cusp of a big move higher, is electric vehicle OG Tesla(TSLA). Below, I’ll discuss why I like Tesla’s fundamentals at the current price, but the timing of my bullish position is dictated by what we see below.\nSource: StockCharts\nI’ve circled the areas that are ~4 weeks out from an upcoming earnings report to show how reliable Tesla has been in advancing – in a big way – into earnings reports. We are just under four weeks away from Tesla’s late-April report, and if history is a guide, the stock is likely to be a lot higher by the time the company reports than it is today. Given the immense weakness we’ve seen in the stock, I think the odds are even higher this time that the stock makes a run into the report than it usually is.\nNot only has Tesla been a big winner trading into earnings releases, but there are signs that the selling is losing momentum. The relative bottom at $539 was met with new momentum lows in the RSI and PPO, but the current move down has seen momentum much higher on a relative basis. That doesn’t guarantee anything, but it does show that the worst of the selling isprobablyover. I’ve circled the divergences I’m referencing in the chart above, as these are the earliest signs of a bottom being formed.\nThose that read my work know that I trust the accumulation/distribution line, which has never wavered despite the relentless selling we’ve seen. This indicator shows whether investors are buying dips or not and for the A/D line to look like that, on a stock with a massive market capitalization, institutions must be buying. Like the momentum indicators, nothing is certain with the A/D line, but all of this adds up to a stock that looks to me like it is trying to bottom.\nBut there’s one more piece of evidence I’d like to offer up that I believe shows Tesla is very oversold and is due for a rally. Below, I’ve plotted the total percentage returns over the prior 50-day period going back to the middle of 2018 to show just how ugly the recent selling has been.\nSource: Author’s chart using historical price data from Yahoo! Finance\nTesla is currently showing 50-day returns of -25%, which has only occurred a handful of times in the past three years. We can see that there was one period of protracted weakness in early 2019 that eventually resolved itself to the upside but did take some time. That was before EV stocks got their massive bid from investors, and I think it is pretty easy to argue that time frame isn’t all that comparable to today.\nWhat is comparable to today is the time period since 2020 began, and if we look at that, we see that Tesla is more oversold today by this measure than during any of the other drawdowns. I’ll say again none of this guarantees anything, but it certainly looks to me like Tesla is quite oversold on this measure, and keep in mind 50 trading days is roughly two and half months, so this is a longer-term indicator with lots of data points.\nNow, when I put all of this together – the recent decline, the divergences in momentum, the fact that Tesla has been a huge winner into earnings releases, and 50-day rolling returns – all signs point to a much higher stock a month or two down the road.\nObviously, risks exist. The narrative for growth stocks being crushed has been higher interest rates, and if rates continue higher, it is possible we see more selling in growth names. However, the damage has been pretty severe in a lot of cases, and the interest rate narrative is a couple of months old at this point, so I’m not sure how much more downside there could be relative to what has already taken place.\nEven if you do buy into the idea that higher rates are responsible for growth stocks coming down, it appears to me we have rally exhaustion going on in rates, opposite to what I just explained for Tesla.\nSource: StockCharts\nWe can see with this two-year chart that rates are still well below where they were pre-pandemic, with room for another 20 or 30bps before getting back to early-2020 levels. I mention this to say it isn’t like we’re making new highs in rates that should see growth stocks be decimated; this is just a rebound.\nBut more importantly, the vertical line I’ve annotated shows that the ten-year has climbed for about a month, making new relative highs repeatedly without any sort of momentum confirmation. The PPO is moving lower, and the 14-day RSI is doing the same thing. This doesn’t guarantee rates are coming down, but it does certainly show the rally is losing steam. Negative divergences like these often portend a change of trend, at least temporarily, and I firmly believe rates have moved too high, too quickly. If you believe rates are responsible for growth stock declines, this should look pretty bullish to you.\nNot just a trade\nI’ve detailed above why I think Tesla is set up very well right now technically, and I think the stock is on the cusp of a big move higher. However, Tesla isn’t just a trade candidate. I used to be a Tesla hater based on valuation this and valuation that, but the company has proven me wrong time and again. And it isn’t just me; have a look at this chart of revenue estimates, which move up, up, and up some more over time.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nRevenue estimates have soared for the out years, but also for 2021 and 2022, in recent months. Tesla (read: Musk) has put out some highly ambitious goals over the year, some of which have come to fruition, and some of which haven’t. But this company is a massive disruptor in an industry with literally trillions of dollars on the line in the coming decade and has a huge head start on legacy players that are now trying to play catch up.\nSource: Investor presentation\nThe company continues to invest billions of dollars in new production capacity for its products, including Gigafactories in Shanghai, Berlin, and Austin. The Roadster will be low volume and likely won’t make much difference for revenue or earnings, but things like the Cybertruck and Semi have enormous potential.\nTesla has taken big market share gains over the years with a very small lineup of vehicles, and as batteries become cheaper, as ranges get longer, and as more and more localities ban gasoline and diesel vehicles, Tesla is easily the biggest winner. Legacy manufacturers have scale advantages in terms of financing and footprints in place, but they are many years behind Tesla in terms of development.\nThe beautiful thing is that Tesla is taking market share, but the market itself is growing rapidly. The adoption of EVs among consumers is still in the very early stages, and for commercial fleets, it is even earlier. This sort of rapidly expanding market is good for all players, but for Tesla, it is taking share in a burgeoning market, creating a virtuous cycle of upward revenue potential. That’s why estimates continue to rise, and why I believe they will continue to do so.\nEntire countries have made public their desire to ban fossil fuel vehicles in the not-too-distant future, which is why the legacy manufacturers are getting serious about EVs; there is no viable alternative at this point. Tesla has been developing for years and is the undisputed leader in the space, so it is in a much better competitive position for the eventual banning of fossil fuel vehicles around the world. Below we have EV market share, where Tesla is leading the way.\nSource: Statista\nTesla is in front of the only legacy OEM with any sort of meaningful share, which doesn't even account for the Detroit automakers, which are just getting started.\nTesla has years of knowledge in battery development - which is a key competitive advantage and differentiator - and it has already invested in manufacturing scale that not only affords higher capacity but a lead over the others that are trying to catch up. In short, Tesla knew the path forward was EVs years before the OEMs, which are now trying to replicate Tesla's success.\nOn the earnings front, Tesla used to be a leap of faith that at some point, the company would actually make some money. However, Tesla has now produced a full-year profit, and there appears to be no looking back.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nEstimates have ramped higher since mid-2019, with steep upward slopes in estimates from 2021 through 2026 moving meaningfully higher. Tesla, in other words, has reached the inflection point with volume where it can cover all of its fixed costs, and reliably stop burning through cash by the hundreds of millions of dollars, which was an issue for years. That’s critically important because Tesla is no longer a leap of faith; it is a company with industry-leading operating margins and huge revenue growth potential.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nIf you look at the bottom line in the above table, operating income on a TTM basis was negative through March 2019 but has been positive - and rising - since. That means Tesla has indeed reached the point where profitability is no longer a concern; this is an important step in its maturation process and proof it is now a mainstream automaker.\nValuation and sentiment\nThe interesting thing is that despite the wave of positive news coming from Tesla itself, and in news items like entire countries planning to ban fossil fuel vehicles, the analyst community is never quite bullish on Tesla.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nAuthors here onSeeking Alphaare, on the whole, bearish leaning, while we see a similar story with Wall Street ratings. I simply don’t agree given the massive potential Tesla has and the fact that it is a proven winner. There are now countless EV manufacturers, but none of them have the scale, product line, and development time in the tool kit that Tesla does.\nAnd as Tesla continues to take market share in this market that is growing so rapidly, there is a lot of room for analysts to figure out they are on the wrong side of Tesla.\nFinally, let’s take a look at the EV to sales ratios of Tesla and a selection of competitors for the past year.\nSource: TIKR.com\nValuations moved a lot higher coming out of the pandemic, but that’s true of just about any sector you can think of; a 100-year pandemic event will crush valuations. Out of that, however, came much higher EV stock valuations for all of the reasons I mentioned above; the market is booming and consumers are responding by buying EVs. However, the massive run-up in valuations has largely been unwound, and I think it is pretty interesting that Tesla, which trades at 13X EV to forward sales, is in the middle of this pack.\nThe others on the list can rightly be called startups and have nothing close to the brand recognition, product line, development capability, manufacturing capability, or anything else you can think of when compared to Tesla. That means Tesla’s competitive advantage should be secure for years to come, but it trades for a similar valuation to these others that are sort of like buying Tesla in 2012 or 2013; it might work out, but it might not. Tesla is a very long way down the road in terms of its lifecycle compared to these competitors, so the relative risk is much lower.\nFinal Thoughts\nTesla is not only winning today, but it is continuing to invest tirelessly into winning tomorrow. Production scale for models like the 3, S, X, and Y is critical because those vehicles are selling today and providing the cash to invest in things like Cybertruck and Semi. Tesla is committed to winning in all stages of the EV market, including not only consumer but commercial as well.\nSemi production isn’t far off, and the company is already receiving interest from buyers. This has the potential formassivemarket share gains for Tesla in the next decade, but is not a story for 2021, to be clear.\nThe point here is that Tesla shares have been beaten down to levels that I believe are low enough to buy. The company has been a reliable winner into earnings reports, which we are slated to see in just over three weeks time. Its market share gains continue to pile up and with its massive head start in the world of EVs, Tesla looks like a clear long-term winner.\nValuations are rich but have come way down in recent weeks, and I’m going against the grain of recent pieces here onSAand am very bullish on Tesla, not only short term but longer term as well.\nRisks abound, of course, as they do with any automaker. The core risk for any company is that its product doesn't work in the marketplace, but for Tesla, that seems a bit farfetched given the success it has had. Tesla now has a full lineup of vehicles that is ever-expanding, and its brand is hugely valuable given its de factor first-mover advantage in EVs, scaling before the rest of the world thought to do so.\nGiven this, the principal risk to Tesla's bull case is not in the business itself, but in the valuation discussion. It is possible that investors will choose to stop paying very high earnings multiples for Tesla in the coming years. This could occur due to missteps from Tesla - such as poor product design, overcapacity, or products consumers simply don't want - or it could come from the intense amount of competition that is likely to come online in the coming years.\nThat, to me, is the biggest risk of buying Tesla today because it certainly appears this company is doing all the right things to win in an EV-dominated world. Thus, if you can look past the current valuation, if you're going to buy an automaker, you want to look at Tesla first.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":145,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":357026030,"gmtCreate":1617211106020,"gmtModify":1704697392993,"author":{"id":"3555810485403982","authorId":"3555810485403982","name":"Jo96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a8f7e88de203a82e2c93624c556c5ce","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555810485403982","authorIdStr":"3555810485403982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good time to buy more&nbsp;","listText":"Good time to buy more&nbsp;","text":"Good time to buy more","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8c789936ea5127701af143ea081c1729","width":"1125","height":"3422"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/357026030","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":142,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":357021230,"gmtCreate":1617210959920,"gmtModify":1704697392184,"author":{"id":"3555810485403982","authorId":"3555810485403982","name":"Jo96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a8f7e88de203a82e2c93624c556c5ce","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555810485403982","authorIdStr":"3555810485403982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/357021230","repostId":"1127322570","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1127322570","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617207242,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1127322570?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-01 00:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Coursera opens for trading at $40, up 21.21% from IPO price","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1127322570","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"(March 31) Coursera opens for trading at $40, up 21.21% from IPO price.

What sets Coursera apart is its symbiotic relationship with established universities. Instead of trying to disrupt the higher education industry, Coursera is attempting to work with them to reimagine what higher education and professional courses should look like in a digital world.</p><p>That strategy seems to be working. Coursera has more than77 million students, more than most of its rivals. The company’sCoursera for Campusattracted 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world. At the end of 2020, 130 of these institutions were premium subscribers. 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies are alsopaying for Coursera’s enterprise offerings.</p><p>Unsurprisingly, that traction is reflected on the top line. In 2020, Coursera generated $293 million in revenue, up 59% from the previous year. Year-on-year user growth came in at 65%. However, the company extended free courses and features throughout the pandemic to gin up traffic. That led to higher costs and a loss of $66.8 million in 2020, up from $46.7 million in 2019. Free cash flow was -$26.9 million over the course of the year.</p><p>Coursera doesn’t expect to become cash flow positive or profitable anytime soon. In fact, theS-1 clearly statesthat the company “had an accumulated deficit of $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020,” and that they anticipate that the company “will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.”</p><p>The reopening is another risk. With students heading back to the campus this fall, it’s difficult to say if Coursera can sustain last year’s momentum and keep students and universities engaged on its platform.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2765e424ebb38bf8c4fdf74bcb5d0086\" tg-width=\"605\" tg-height=\"270\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Coursera product tiers</span></p><p>Nevertheless, the company’s partnerships with government agencies, library of content from top universities, enterprise training products and micro-certification courses could help it bolster growth over time. Online learning already was a rapidly-growing market pre-pandemic. Some estimates suggest the marketcould be worth $350 billionby 2025. Coursera was last valued at $2.5 billion.</p><p>It could be worth a lot more when the IPO is completed. One early investor is certainly expecting a windfall: SuRo Capital(NASDAQ:SSSS).</p><p><b>Operating Results</b></p><p>The company earned $293 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, up 59% from 2019. Net losses widened by about $20 million year-on-year, reaching $66.8 million in 2020. Revenues shot up as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic’s effect on traditional education. In tandem with rising demand, operating costs associated with the company’s services rose, largely driven by the freemium content and marketing expenses. Coursera added over 12,000 new degree learners across the two years ended December 31, 2020 at an average acquisition cost of just below $2,000. The number of registered users rose by 65% year-on-year in 2020. Coursera’s accumulated deficit since its founding stood at $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The company does not expect to turn a profit in the foreseeable future.</p><p>The company’sCoursera for Campus,launched in late 2019to enable colleges to offer its library of MOOCs to their students, has been a key driver of recent revenue growth. At the start of the pandemic, Coursera made the program free to tertiary institutions until Sept. 30, 2020. Over 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world signed up for the program, which, according to the company’s S-1 filing, makes it, “one of our fastest growing offerings”. As of December 31, 2020, over 130 tertiary institutions were paying for it.</p><p>At this point, it is hard to predict what the end of the pandemic would have on the company’s operating results.</p><p><b>SuRo Capital - Coursera’s Proxy</b></p><p>San Francisco-based SuRo Capital is a business development company focused on tech startups and innovative private companies. SuRo’s portfolio is heavily concentrated in preferred shares of noteworthy tech startups such asCourseHero,Rent the Runway,Nextdoor,Blink HealthandForge Global.</p><p>The largest and most noteworthy position in their portfolio is a $94 million stake in Palantir Technologies(NYSE:PLTR). In fact, my first article on the company was publishedjust before Palantir’s IPO. Over the past 12 months, the stock is up 281%, which means it outperformed the most talked about tech ETF of the year - Ark Innovation ETF(NYSEARCA:ARKK).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/803c42a2fe2b33ae60db98bb236a638e\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"852\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Now, Palantir accounts for 31.4% of SuRo’s portfolio. Coursera is the second-largest holding. Accounting for 17.6% of the portfolio, SuRo reported the fair value of its stake at $53.2 million recently. It’s worth noting that SuRo holds this stake in preferred shares paying out 8% a year in dividends. These preferred shares should be worth a lot more when the company lists publicly. Analysts estimate Coursera could be worth as much as$5 billion, which is roughly double its valuation from 2020.</p><p>At that price, Coursera would become SuRo’s largest holding, adding roughly $50 million to the company’s book value.</p><p>Altogether,SuRo’s portfolio is worth $430 million. Meanwhile, the company’s market capitalization is $274 million. If the Coursera IPO is as successful as some of the other major tech IPOs we’ve witnessed this year, this discount to fair value could broaden further.</p><p><b>The Strategy and Market Opportunity</b></p><p>Coursera is one of the most disruptive firms in the world. It has a flywheel approach to value creation, with significant price-to-cost advantages versus its competition. The company reported that about half of its new degree students in 2020 had been previously registered with Coursera and that its average student acquisition cost was less than $2,000. Its average student acquisition cost is lower than the industry standard. The edu-tech platform is able to efficiently acquire learners at scale because of the huge number of free, high-quality courses that it offers in partnership with top educational institutions and corporations; its ability to personalize content based on its wealth of data; the strength of word-of-mouth promotion by learners; the profitability of its affiliate paid marketing channel.</p><p>The platform offers a number of education tracks, for example:</p><ul><li>Specializations: A learner can pay between $39 and $99 a month for job-specific content across over 500 categories.</li><li>MasterTrack Certificates: For a quarter to a year, a learner can earn a certificate issued by a university-issued certificate. Prices range from $2,000 to $6,000.</li><li>Bachelor’s or Master’s Degrees: Fees range from $9,000 to $45,000.</li><li>Coursera for Enterprise: Through this platform, businesses, educational institutions and governments can deploy content to their learners.</li></ul><p>In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Coursera partnered with over 330 government agencies across 30 U.S. states and cities and 70 countries as part of itsCoursera Workforce Recovery Initiative, which gave governments the chance to offer unemployed workers free access to thousands of business, data science, and technology courses from companies such as Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL).</p><p>The company has 77 million registered learners, as well as over 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies who paid for its enterprise offerings. The majority of its revenue (51%) was earned outside of the United States. Converting only a fraction of its 77 million registered users into paid users would change the economics of customer acquisition. The company’s present scale is a huge competitive advantage in the market.</p><p>A learner’s curriculum is designed to be “stackable”, which is to say that a learner can go through a domain in an incremental fashion. The company is able to leverage the huge volume of data it has accumulated from its over 220 million enrollments to personalize content. So, for example, Coursera’s Skills Graphs can suggest paths for job skills.</p><p>Coursera uses technology to drive down distribution costs, make content more affordable, extend access to less economically-endowed regions, help learners keep abreast of emerging skills, and grow its market opportunity. The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated secular trends towards the use of technology in education.</p><p>The size of the addressable market is massive and it’s easy to see why.An August 2020 study by the United Nationsdemonstrates the degree of disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic: of the 1.6 billion students in 190 countries covered in the report, or 94% of the world’s students, were prevented from going to school because of Covid-19 pandemic related school closures.</p><p>In 2017, the World Bank indicated thatof the 200 million college students in the world, many do not have job-specific skills.</p><p>The Covid-19 pandemic and prior secular trends suggest that the future of education is in blended classrooms, job-specific education and continuous, lifelong education. Online learning platforms like Coursera will be the primary means through which educational content is delivered.</p><p>Globally, spending on higher education in 2019 was $2.2 trillion,according to HolonIQ. Spending on online degrees was $36 billion and is predicted to reach $74 billion by 2025.</p><p>With a huge, existing learner base; a strong brand; and the significant advantages detailed above, Coursera is likely to grab a significant amount of the market’s growth. Of thescenarios for the future of education, it seems that Coursera will continue to grow.</p><p>Risks</p><p>Coursera's S-1 lists several potential risks that investors should be aware of. However, I believe some are more noteworthy than others and Coursera may have missed some key risks.</p><p>Competition, for one, is something the team could have elaborated on further. Coursera is far from the only online education provider. In fact, many of its rivals including Skillshare, Gumroad, Khan Academy and Udemy have more recognizable brands.</p><p>Khan Academy is particularly noteworthy because many of the courses it offers are free. That, in my opinion, is another key risk for Coursera and perhaps the entire EdTech space. While higher education is a luxury service in North America, it's free in places like Germany. Much of the world would prefer a low-cost or free model to develop talent and plug the skills gap. College in India, for instance, costs$5,000 a year on average. Coursera isn't profitable at its current average pricing of $9,000 to $25,000 per degree course. Lower costs in the rest of the world could make profitability a bigger challenge.</p><p>Coursera could potentially overcome these challenges by recruiting lower-cost education providers in emerging markets, convincing students to pay a premium and differentiating its courses by partnering with elite universities and recruitment channels.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>Coursera seems poised to meet the challenges of a changing education landscape. With its vast, existing user base, its flywheel model, its competitive advantages, and its existence in a huge and growing addressable market, the company is likely to do very well. The company’s value proposition is compelling. However, long run success does not equate to a good investment in the short run. An unprofitable company like Coursera is likely to be very volatile on the markets until it reaches profitability. It is better to wait for Coursera to turn a profit before investing in the company.</p>","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>Coursera opens for trading at $40, up 21.21% from IPO price</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\">\nCoursera opens for trading at $40, up 21.21% from IPO price\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-01 00:14 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/news/3677898-online-learning-platform-coursera-seeks-to-raise-484m-in-ipo><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>(March 31) Coursera opens for trading at $40, up 21.21% from IPO price.

Coursera prices IPO at $33, for valuation of $4.3 billion.Coursera has priced an IPO of 15.73M shares of its common stock at $33.00/share, including ~14.7M shares to beissued and sold by Coursera and ~1.1M by the selling stockholders.Expected gross proceeds are $483.9M.Trading kicks off March 31.Underwriters' over-allotment is an additional ~2.4M shares.Coursera will not receive any proceeds from shares sale by selling stockholders.Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are acting as lead book-running managers.Closing date is April 5.Online learning giant Coursera has 77M registered learners. It partners with over 200 universities and industry partners to offer a broad catalog of content and credentials.SuRo Capital, a business development company, holds a massive stake in the company.In 2020, Coursera generated $293.5M in revenue, up from $184.4M in 2019. Launched in 2012 by Stanford University computer science professors Daphne Koller and Andrew Ng, Coursera is one of many massive open online course (MOOC) providers that have emerged since the dawn of the Internet. What sets Coursera apart is its symbiotic relationship with established universities. Instead of trying to disrupt the higher education industry, Coursera is attempting to work with them to reimagine what higher education and professional courses should look like in a digital world.That strategy seems to be working. Coursera has more than77 million students, more than most of its rivals. The company’sCoursera for Campusattracted 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world. At the end of 2020, 130 of these institutions were premium subscribers. 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies are alsopaying for Coursera’s enterprise offerings.Unsurprisingly, that traction is reflected on the top line. In 2020, Coursera generated $293 million in revenue, up 59% from the previous year. Year-on-year user growth came in at 65%. However, the company extended free courses and features throughout the pandemic to gin up traffic. That led to higher costs and a loss of $66.8 million in 2020, up from $46.7 million in 2019. Free cash flow was -$26.9 million over the course of the year.Coursera doesn’t expect to become cash flow positive or profitable anytime soon. In fact, theS-1 clearly statesthat the company “had an accumulated deficit of $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020,” and that they anticipate that the company “will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.”The reopening is another risk. With students heading back to the campus this fall, it’s difficult to say if Coursera can sustain last year’s momentum and keep students and universities engaged on its platform.Coursera product tiersNevertheless, the company’s partnerships with government agencies, library of content from top universities, enterprise training products and micro-certification courses could help it bolster growth over time. Online learning already was a rapidly-growing market pre-pandemic. Some estimates suggest the marketcould be worth $350 billionby 2025. Coursera was last valued at $2.5 billion.It could be worth a lot more when the IPO is completed. One early investor is certainly expecting a windfall: SuRo Capital(NASDAQ:SSSS).Operating ResultsThe company earned $293 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, up 59% from 2019. Net losses widened by about $20 million year-on-year, reaching $66.8 million in 2020. Revenues shot up as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic’s effect on traditional education. In tandem with rising demand, operating costs associated with the company’s services rose, largely driven by the freemium content and marketing expenses. Coursera added over 12,000 new degree learners across the two years ended December 31, 2020 at an average acquisition cost of just below $2,000. The number of registered users rose by 65% year-on-year in 2020. Coursera’s accumulated deficit since its founding stood at $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The company does not expect to turn a profit in the foreseeable future.The company’sCoursera for Campus,launched in late 2019to enable colleges to offer its library of MOOCs to their students, has been a key driver of recent revenue growth. At the start of the pandemic, Coursera made the program free to tertiary institutions until Sept. 30, 2020. Over 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world signed up for the program, which, according to the company’s S-1 filing, makes it, “one of our fastest growing offerings”. As of December 31, 2020, over 130 tertiary institutions were paying for it.At this point, it is hard to predict what the end of the pandemic would have on the company’s operating results.SuRo Capital - Coursera’s ProxySan Francisco-based SuRo Capital is a business development company focused on tech startups and innovative private companies. SuRo’s portfolio is heavily concentrated in preferred shares of noteworthy tech startups such asCourseHero,Rent the Runway,Nextdoor,Blink HealthandForge Global.The largest and most noteworthy position in their portfolio is a $94 million stake in Palantir Technologies(NYSE:PLTR). In fact, my first article on the company was publishedjust before Palantir’s IPO. Over the past 12 months, the stock is up 281%, which means it outperformed the most talked about tech ETF of the year - Ark Innovation ETF(NYSEARCA:ARKK).Now, Palantir accounts for 31.4% of SuRo’s portfolio. Coursera is the second-largest holding. Accounting for 17.6% of the portfolio, SuRo reported the fair value of its stake at $53.2 million recently. It’s worth noting that SuRo holds this stake in preferred shares paying out 8% a year in dividends. These preferred shares should be worth a lot more when the company lists publicly. Analysts estimate Coursera could be worth as much as$5 billion, which is roughly double its valuation from 2020.At that price, Coursera would become SuRo’s largest holding, adding roughly $50 million to the company’s book value.Altogether,SuRo’s portfolio is worth $430 million. Meanwhile, the company’s market capitalization is $274 million. If the Coursera IPO is as successful as some of the other major tech IPOs we’ve witnessed this year, this discount to fair value could broaden further.The Strategy and Market OpportunityCoursera is one of the most disruptive firms in the world. It has a flywheel approach to value creation, with significant price-to-cost advantages versus its competition. The company reported that about half of its new degree students in 2020 had been previously registered with Coursera and that its average student acquisition cost was less than $2,000. Its average student acquisition cost is lower than the industry standard. The edu-tech platform is able to efficiently acquire learners at scale because of the huge number of free, high-quality courses that it offers in partnership with top educational institutions and corporations; its ability to personalize content based on its wealth of data; the strength of word-of-mouth promotion by learners; the profitability of its affiliate paid marketing channel.The platform offers a number of education tracks, for example:Specializations: A learner can pay between $39 and $99 a month for job-specific content across over 500 categories.MasterTrack Certificates: For a quarter to a year, a learner can earn a certificate issued by a university-issued certificate. Prices range from $2,000 to $6,000.Bachelor’s or Master’s Degrees: Fees range from $9,000 to $45,000.Coursera for Enterprise: Through this platform, businesses, educational institutions and governments can deploy content to their learners.In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Coursera partnered with over 330 government agencies across 30 U.S. states and cities and 70 countries as part of itsCoursera Workforce Recovery Initiative, which gave governments the chance to offer unemployed workers free access to thousands of business, data science, and technology courses from companies such as Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL).The company has 77 million registered learners, as well as over 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies who paid for its enterprise offerings.

SuRo’s portfolio is heavily concentrated in preferred shares of noteworthy tech startups such asCourseHero,Rent the Runway,Nextdoor,Blink HealthandForge Global.</p><p>The largest and most noteworthy position in their portfolio is a $94 million stake in Palantir Technologies(NYSE:PLTR). In fact, my first article on the company was publishedjust before Palantir’s IPO. Over the past 12 months, the stock is up 281%, which means it outperformed the most talked about tech ETF of the year - Ark Innovation ETF(NYSEARCA:ARKK).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/803c42a2fe2b33ae60db98bb236a638e\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"852\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Now, Palantir accounts for 31.4% of SuRo’s portfolio. Coursera is the second-largest holding. Accounting for 17.6% of the portfolio, SuRo reported the fair value of its stake at $53.2 million recently. It’s worth noting that SuRo holds this stake in preferred shares paying out 8% a year in dividends. These preferred shares should be worth a lot more when the company lists publicly. Analysts estimate Coursera could be worth as much as$5 billion, which is roughly double its valuation from 2020.</p><p>At that price, Coursera would become SuRo’s largest holding, adding roughly $50 million to the company’s book value.</p><p>Altogether,SuRo’s portfolio is worth $430 million. Meanwhile, the company’s market capitalization is $274 million. If the Coursera IPO is as successful as some of the other major tech IPOs we’ve witnessed this year, this discount to fair value could broaden further.</p><p><b>The Strategy and Market Opportunity</b></p><p>Coursera is one of the most disruptive firms in the world. It has a flywheel approach to value creation, with significant price-to-cost advantages versus its competition. The company reported that about half of its new degree students in 2020 had been previously registered with Coursera and that its average student acquisition cost was less than $2,000. Its average student acquisition cost is lower than the industry standard. The edu-tech platform is able to efficiently acquire learners at scale because of the huge number of free, high-quality courses that it offers in partnership with top educational institutions and corporations; its ability to personalize content based on its wealth of data; the strength of word-of-mouth promotion by learners; the profitability of its affiliate paid marketing channel.</p><p>The platform offers a number of education tracks, for example:</p><ul><li>Specializations: A learner can pay between $39 and $99 a month for job-specific content across over 500 categories.</li><li>MasterTrack Certificates: For a quarter to a year, a learner can earn a certificate issued by a university-issued certificate. Prices range from $2,000 to $6,000.</li><li>Bachelor’s or Master’s Degrees: Fees range from $9,000 to $45,000.</li><li>Coursera for Enterprise: Through this platform, businesses, educational institutions and governments can deploy content to their learners.</li></ul><p>In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Coursera partnered with over 330 government agencies across 30 U.S. states and cities and 70 countries as part of itsCoursera Workforce Recovery Initiative, which gave governments the chance to offer unemployed workers free access to thousands of business, data science, and technology courses from companies such as Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL).</p><p>The company has 77 million registered learners, as well as over 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies who paid for its enterprise offerings. The majority of its revenue (51%) was earned outside of the United States. Converting only a fraction of its 77 million registered users into paid users would change the economics of customer acquisition. The company’s present scale is a huge competitive advantage in the market.</p><p>A learner’s curriculum is designed to be “stackable”, which is to say that a learner can go through a domain in an incremental fashion. The company is able to leverage the huge volume of data it has accumulated from its over 220 million enrollments to personalize content. So, for example, Coursera’s Skills Graphs can suggest paths for job skills.</p><p>Coursera uses technology to drive down distribution costs, make content more affordable, extend access to less economically-endowed regions, help learners keep abreast of emerging skills, and grow its market opportunity. The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated secular trends towards the use of technology in education.</p><p>The size of the addressable market is massive and it’s easy to see why.An August 2020 study by the United Nationsdemonstrates the degree of disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic: of the 1.6 billion students in 190 countries covered in the report, or 94% of the world’s students, were prevented from going to school because of Covid-19 pandemic related school closures.</p><p>In 2017, the World Bank indicated thatof the 200 million college students in the world, many do not have job-specific skills.</p><p>The Covid-19 pandemic and prior secular trends suggest that the future of education is in blended classrooms, job-specific education and continuous, lifelong education. Online learning platforms like Coursera will be the primary means through which educational content is delivered.</p><p>Globally, spending on higher education in 2019 was $2.2 trillion,according to HolonIQ. Spending on online degrees was $36 billion and is predicted to reach $74 billion by 2025.</p><p>With a huge, existing learner base; a strong brand; and the significant advantages detailed above, Coursera is likely to grab a significant amount of the market’s growth. Of thescenarios for the future of education, it seems that Coursera will continue to grow.</p><p>Risks</p><p>Coursera's S-1 lists several potential risks that investors should be aware of. However, I believe some are more noteworthy than others and Coursera may have missed some key risks.</p><p>Competition, for one, is something the team could have elaborated on further. Coursera is far from the only online education provider. In fact, many of its rivals including Skillshare, Gumroad, Khan Academy and Udemy have more recognizable brands.</p><p>Khan Academy is particularly noteworthy because many of the courses it offers are free. That, in my opinion, is another key risk for Coursera and perhaps the entire EdTech space. While higher education is a luxury service in North America, it's free in places like Germany. Much of the world would prefer a low-cost or free model to develop talent and plug the skills gap. College in India, for instance, costs$5,000 a year on average. Coursera isn't profitable at its current average pricing of $9,000 to $25,000 per degree course. Lower costs in the rest of the world could make profitability a bigger challenge.</p><p>Coursera could potentially overcome these challenges by recruiting lower-cost education providers in emerging markets, convincing students to pay a premium and differentiating its courses by partnering with elite universities and recruitment channels.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>Coursera seems poised to meet the challenges of a changing education landscape. With its vast, existing user base, its flywheel model, its competitive advantages, and its existence in a huge and growing addressable market, the company is likely to do very well. The company’s value proposition is compelling. However, long run success does not equate to a good investment in the short run. An unprofitable company like Coursera is likely to be very volatile on the markets until it reaches profitability. It is better to wait for Coursera to turn a profit before investing in the company.</p>","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>Coursera opens for trading at $40, up 21.21% from IPO price</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\">\nCoursera opens for trading at $40, up 21.21% from IPO price\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-01 00:14 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/news/3677898-online-learning-platform-coursera-seeks-to-raise-484m-in-ipo><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>(March 31) Coursera opens for trading at $40, up 21.21% from IPO price.

Coursera prices IPO at $33, for valuation of $4.3 billion.Coursera has priced an IPO of 15.73M shares of its common stock at $33.00/share, including ~14.7M shares to beissued and sold by Coursera and ~1.1M by the selling stockholders.Expected gross proceeds are $483.9M.Trading kicks off March 31.Underwriters' over-allotment is an additional ~2.4M shares.Coursera will not receive any proceeds from shares sale by selling stockholders.Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are acting as lead book-running managers.Closing date is April 5.Online learning giant Coursera has 77M registered learners. It partners with over 200 universities and industry partners to offer a broad catalog of content and credentials.SuRo Capital, a business development company, holds a massive stake in the company.In 2020, Coursera generated $293.5M in revenue, up from $184.4M in 2019. Launched in 2012 by Stanford University computer science professors Daphne Koller and Andrew Ng, Coursera is one of many massive open online course (MOOC) providers that have emerged since the dawn of the Internet. What sets Coursera apart is its symbiotic relationship with established universities. Instead of trying to disrupt the higher education industry, Coursera is attempting to work with them to reimagine what higher education and professional courses should look like in a digital world.That strategy seems to be working. Coursera has more than77 million students, more than most of its rivals. The company’sCoursera for Campusattracted 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world. At the end of 2020, 130 of these institutions were premium subscribers. 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies are alsopaying for Coursera’s enterprise offerings.Unsurprisingly, that traction is reflected on the top line. In 2020, Coursera generated $293 million in revenue, up 59% from the previous year. Year-on-year user growth came in at 65%. However, the company extended free courses and features throughout the pandemic to gin up traffic. That led to higher costs and a loss of $66.8 million in 2020, up from $46.7 million in 2019. Free cash flow was -$26.9 million over the course of the year.Coursera doesn’t expect to become cash flow positive or profitable anytime soon. In fact, theS-1 clearly statesthat the company “had an accumulated deficit of $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020,” and that they anticipate that the company “will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.”The reopening is another risk. With students heading back to the campus this fall, it’s difficult to say if Coursera can sustain last year’s momentum and keep students and universities engaged on its platform.Coursera product tiersNevertheless, the company’s partnerships with government agencies, library of content from top universities, enterprise training products and micro-certification courses could help it bolster growth over time. Online learning already was a rapidly-growing market pre-pandemic. Some estimates suggest the marketcould be worth $350 billionby 2025. Coursera was last valued at $2.5 billion.It could be worth a lot more when the IPO is completed. One early investor is certainly expecting a windfall: SuRo Capital(NASDAQ:SSSS).Operating ResultsThe company earned $293 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, up 59% from 2019. Net losses widened by about $20 million year-on-year, reaching $66.8 million in 2020. Revenues shot up as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic’s effect on traditional education. In tandem with rising demand, operating costs associated with the company’s services rose, largely driven by the freemium content and marketing expenses. Coursera added over 12,000 new degree learners across the two years ended December 31, 2020 at an average acquisition cost of just below $2,000. The number of registered users rose by 65% year-on-year in 2020. Coursera’s accumulated deficit since its founding stood at $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The company does not expect to turn a profit in the foreseeable future.The company’sCoursera for Campus,launched in late 2019to enable colleges to offer its library of MOOCs to their students, has been a key driver of recent revenue growth. At the start of the pandemic, Coursera made the program free to tertiary institutions until Sept. 30, 2020. Over 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world signed up for the program, which, according to the company’s S-1 filing, makes it, “one of our fastest growing offerings”. As of December 31, 2020, over 130 tertiary institutions were paying for it.At this point, it is hard to predict what the end of the pandemic would have on the company’s operating results.SuRo Capital - Coursera’s ProxySan Francisco-based SuRo Capital is a business development company focused on tech startups and innovative private companies.

Despite navigating its way through Black Monday in 1987, the dot-com bubble, the Great Recession, and more recently the coronavirus crash, the average annual total return for the benchmark <b>S&amp;P 500</b> since 1980, including dividends, is north of 11%.</p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, we see this optimism readily apparent in Wall Street's ratings on stocks. According to <b>FactSet</b>, more than half of all stocks carry a consensus buy rating, 38% have the equivalent of a hold rating, and just 7% are rated as sells. Yet, history shows that far more than 7% of stocks will eventually head lower.</p>\n<p>Based on Wall Street's consensus price targets, the following five ultra-popular stocks are all expected to lose value over the coming 12 months.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b04ade705354c4825038c4dfcd0187d9\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"500\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>Palantir Technologies: Implied downside of 12%</h3>\n<p>Since its direct listing in late September 2020, data-mining company <b>Palantir Technologies</b> (NYSE:PLTR) has been a favorite among growth and retail investors. But if Wall Street's <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-year consensus price target proves accurate, Palantir will head in reverse by up to 12%.</p>\n<p>The likeliest reason Wall Street is tempering expectations on Palantir is valuation. Specifically, Palantir ended June 17 with a market cap of nearly $48 billion, but is on track to bring in perhaps $1.5 billion in full-year sales in 2021. That's a multiple of about 32 times sales. Even if Palantir continues to grow its top-line at 30% annually, it could take years for this price-to-sales multiple to come down to anywhere close to the average for cloud stocks.</p>\n<p>Another possible concern is the growth potential for its government-focused Gotham platform. Big government contract wins in the U.S. have been primarily responsible for Palantir's exceptional growth rate. However, there remains an outside chance that President Joe Biden may curb funding to some of the federal agencies that employ Palantir's services.</p>\n<p>Over the long run, I'm optimistic and believe Palantir's platform is unlike anything else available. But tempering near-term expectations given its valuation premium may be warranted.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a38605bee8e62f3e8aa414fa24278e7e\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>Moderna: Implied downside of 11%</h3>\n<p>Biotech stock <b>Moderna</b> (NASDAQ:MRNA) is arguably the biggest beneficiary of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. It's <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of only three drugmakers to currently have their COVID-19 vaccine approved on an emergency-use authorization (EUA) basis in the United States. But if Wall Street's consensus 12-month price target is correct, it's stock is also on its way to a double-digit decline.</p>\n<p>Why the lack of love from Wall Street?

The company behind an experimental COVID-19 vaccine (Covaxin) and a trio of internally developed eye-blindness candidates is expected to shed 18% of its value, if Wall Street's consensus price target is correct.</p>\n<p>Arguably the biggest issue for Ocugen is the clinical update the company issued on June 10 concerning Covaxin. Even though partner Bharat Biotech led a large clinical study in India that yielded an overall efficacy of 78%, along with 100% efficacy in preventing severe forms of COVID-19, Ocugen announced on June 10 that it would forgo seeking an EUA in the U.S. and would instead file for a biologics license application. In other words, Ocugen's path to a quick emergency approval in the U.S. just flew out the window.</p>\n<p>What's more, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's requested additional information and data on Covaxin. This is a fancy of saying that Ocugen will very likely have to run a clinical study in the U.S. prior to submitting Covaxin for approval. That means added costs and an even longer wait before Ocugen has a chance to penetrate the lucrative U.S. market.</p>\n<p>Though it's impossible to predict how long COVID-19 vaccine immunity will last, Ocugen's chances of being a significant player in the U.S. COVID-19 vaccine space are dwindling.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/91f6037829ea3fb0ae1cae0b95d8d11e\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>NVIDIA: Implied downside of 3%</h3>\n<p>Don't adjust your computer, laptop, or smartphone screens -- that really says <b>NVIDIA</b> (NASDAQ:NVDA). Following its incredible run higher (NVIDIA has doubled over the past year), graphics processing unit giant NVIDIA closed 3% above Wall Street's consensus price target, as of June 17.</p>\n<p>One reason for tempered expectations at this point has to be valuation. Even with NVIDIA crushing expectations and seeing strong PC gaming demand, sales growth is expected to slow from an estimated 49% in fiscal 2022 to a high single digit percentage in each of the next two fiscal years. In fact, the company closed at nearly 20 times projected sales for the current fiscal year. That's a bit optimistic given an expected sales growth slowdown.</p>\n<p>Perhaps the other reason Wall Street expects NVIDIA to go sideways is the company's cryptocurrency mining chip segment. While sales of crypto chips could hit $400 million in the current quarter, demand is entirely dependent on the hype surrounding digital currencies and the favorability of technical charts. Crypto is just as well known for its long bear markets as it is for the big gains it's delivered over the past decade. If another lull strikes, a fast-growing ancillary segment for NVIDA could easily become a drag.</p>\n<p>For what it's worth, I see no fundamental reasons to sell NVIDIA if you're already a long-term shareholder. But if you're on the outside looking in, I don't exactly see $746 as an attractive entry point, either.</p>","source":"fool_stock","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>5 Ultra-Popular Stocks Wall Street Views as Overvalued</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\">\n5 Ultra-Popular Stocks Wall Street Views as Overvalued\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-21 21:01 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/21/5-ultra-popular-stocks-wall-street-view-overvalued/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Generally speaking, it pays to be bullish on Wall Street.

Despite navigating its way through Black Monday in 1987, the dot-com bubble, the Great Recession, and more recently the coronavirus crash, the average annual total return for the benchmark S&P 500 since 1980, including dividends, is north of 11%.\nNot surprisingly, we see this optimism readily apparent in Wall Street's ratings on stocks. According to FactSet, more than half of all stocks carry a consensus buy rating, 38% have the equivalent of a hold rating, and just 7% are rated as sells. Yet, history shows that far more than 7% of stocks will eventually head lower.\nBased on Wall Street's consensus price targets, the following five ultra-popular stocks are all expected to lose value over the coming 12 months.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nPalantir Technologies: Implied downside of 12%\nSince its direct listing in late September 2020, data-mining company Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) has been a favorite among growth and retail investors. But if Wall Street's one-year consensus price target proves accurate, Palantir will head in reverse by up to 12%.\nThe likeliest reason Wall Street is tempering expectations on Palantir is valuation. Specifically, Palantir ended June 17 with a market cap of nearly $48 billion, but is on track to bring in perhaps $1.5 billion in full-year sales in 2021. That's a multiple of about 32 times sales. Even if Palantir continues to grow its top-line at 30% annually, it could take years for this price-to-sales multiple to come down to anywhere close to the average for cloud stocks.\nAnother possible concern is the growth potential for its government-focused Gotham platform. Big government contract wins in the U.S. have been primarily responsible for Palantir's exceptional growth rate. However, there remains an outside chance that President Joe Biden may curb funding to some of the federal agencies that employ Palantir's services.\nOver the long run, I'm optimistic and believe Palantir's platform is unlike anything else available. But tempering near-term expectations given its valuation premium may be warranted.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nModerna: Implied downside of 11%\nBiotech stock Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) is arguably the biggest beneficiary of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. It's one of only three drugmakers to currently have their COVID-19 vaccine approved on an emergency-use authorization (EUA) basis in the United States. But if Wall Street's consensus 12-month price target is correct, it's stock is also on its way to a double-digit decline.\nWhy the lack of love from Wall Street? The answer looks to be analysts looking to the future. While Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine is a mainstay in the U.S., and it's likely to play a clear role in other markets, time might prove the company's enemy. Over time, new vaccines are expected to come onto the scene, which'll eat away at Moderna's potential pool of patients.\nThe other worry is that no one is exactly certain how long COVID-19 vaccine immunity will last. If it's a year, Moderna is unlikely to be the only drugmaker supplying booster shots. Meanwhile, if it's longer than a year, it means reduced sales opportunities for the company.\nBased solely on Wall Street's earnings per share consensus in 2021 and 2022, Moderna appears reasonably priced. But with the company staring down a potentially significant haircut in revenue next year as new drugmakers enter the space, caution is advised.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nGameStop: Implied downside of 71%\nThis will probably come as a shock to no one, but Reddit favorite GameStop (NYSE:GME) is fully expected to fall flat on its face. Even though Wall Street's consensus price target for the company has quintupled in recent months, it still implies up to 71% downside over the next year.\nThe biggest issue for GameStop is that its valuation has completely detached from its underlying fundamentals.

After all, they’ve worked hard to try to enjoy life as a senior and to not worry about their financial position. The best way to solve this problem is a well-rounded portfolio with the right balance of dividend, growth and value stocks. This article specifically focuses on the growth stocks to buy and how they can super-charge your retirement portfolio.</p>\n<p>Growth stocks typically belong to those companies that are growing at an above-average rate in their respective industries. Moreover, these companies are poised to expand over a long-term horizon thanks to their ability to innovate and reinvent themselves. Growth investors look at forward profitability and cash flow metrics when picking out the best growth stocks to buy.</p>\n<p>With that being said, this list below covers seven of the most promising growth stocks to buy, which will deliver returns across several markets.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Cloudflare</b>(NYSE:<b>NET</b>)</li>\n <li><b>Shopify</b>(NYSE:<b>SHOP</b>)</li>\n <li><b>Square</b>(NYSE:<b>SQ</b>)</li>\n <li><b>Snap</b>(NYSE:<b>SNAP</b>)</li>\n <li><b>Alibaba Group</b>(NYSE:<b>BABA</b>)</li>\n <li><b>Etsy</b>(NASDAQ:<b>ETSY</b>)</li>\n <li><b>Roku</b>(NASDAQ:<b>ROKU</b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Cloudflare (NET)</b></p>\n<p>Cloudflare has arguably one of the most active companies in the past year, launching more than 550 new products. The cloud platform has been growing rapidly and has expanded its total addressable market to over $70 billion. Additionally, it plans to spread into other profitable areas apart from its traditional content delivery services. Moreover, NET stock’s 12-month returns are at a staggering 180%.</p>\n<p>Earnings in the past year have been nothing short of amazing, with double-digit growth in revenues for the past three quarters. Year-over-year revenue growth is at a healthy 51%, with forward estimates at 42%. &nbsp;As it looks to expand its product suite into large TAM areas such as cybersecurity and MPLS/SD-WAN, it will continue to post strong sales numbers for the foreseeable future.</p>\n<p><b>Shopify (SHOP)</b></p>\n<p>Shopify is a leading merchant platform that has consistently delivered for its long-term investors. With businesses having to close down during the pandemic, Shopify became a beacon of hope for small merchants starting their online businesses. As a result, its year-over-year revenue growth is dumbfounding 99.6%, which dwarfs its competition. Hence, with a wide moat and the ability to constantly evolve more than justifies SHOP stocks lofty valuation.</p>\n<p>2020 was another stellar year for the company, but it looks like it still has multiple chapters to write in its growth story.&nbsp;Its fulfillment center strategy&nbsp;is one of them, giving&nbsp;<b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:<b>AMZN</b>) a run for its money. Moreover, its Payments division and international markets are two major catalysts for future growth. The company expects to grow its revenues by $5 billion by 2023 and take a larger bite out of the e-commerce market.</p>\n<p><b>Square (SQ)</b></p>\n<p>Square has turned into a new-age financial services juggernaut. It has posted stellar growth rates, delivering monster quarterly results and outperforming its already high expectations. It continues to expand its distinct ecosystems, which includes its and Seller and Cash App. Both ecosystems exhibit a $160 billion addressable market opportunity collectively. Moreover, SQ stock has generated over 130% returns in the past 12-months.</p>\n<p>The Cash App platform has been a key driver of the company’s growth. Its monthly active users have grown by 50% to&nbsp;over 36 million in 2020.&nbsp; Through its&nbsp;<b>Bitcoin</b>(CCC:<b>BTC-USD</b>)&nbsp; functionalities and the impact of the Cash Card, it creates several monetization opportunities. Additionally, the re-opening of the U.S. and the worldwide economy will propel the stock further as more small and medium-sized enterprises regain their footing.</p>\n<p><b>Snap (SNAP)</b></p>\n<p>Social media giant Snap was in a tough spot a couple of years ago, as its user base stagnated considerably. However, it is now back in the game with improvements in monetization, augmented reality and unique content. Analysts point towards multiple years of double-digit revenue growth ahead, and its high long-term margin structure makes SNAP stock a highly attractive investment.</p>\n<p>Daily Active Users (DAUs) for the company increased on a year-over-year basisin each of the four quarters last year. The trend continued in the first quarter, where its DAUs grew by a healthy 22%.&nbsp; Moreover, revenues in the quarter were up 66%&nbsp;year-over-year to $170 million. It has multiple monetization avenues left to explore, including Maps, Spotlight, Stories and others.&nbsp; Hence, with forward revenue estimates of roughly 50%, the company is in pole position to deliver strong returns for the foreseeable future.</p>\n<p><b>Alibaba Group (BABA)</b></p>\n<p>Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba has been one of the fastest-growing companies in the past several years. In the past seven years, its business has grown at a spectacular 23.8% CAGR and is still growing at an impressive pace. Year-over-year revenue growth has been at a remarkable 41%, with forward estimates over 35%. Analysts believe that BABA stock could generate over 300% returns in the next five years.</p>\n<p>Alibaba has gone a great job of diversifying its income streams from its traditional retail business.

The high-margin business will help narrow down its losses and open up new opportunities in adjacent areas.</p>\n<p><b>Etsy (ETSY)</b></p>\n<p>Etsy is an online niche marketplace with a wide and sustainable moat. It has witnessed massive growth during the pandemic, as its revenues increased by triple-digit percentages in the past four quarters. Its gross merchandise value (GMV) and revenues increased by roughly 106% and 111%, respectively, in 2020. Moreover, its EBITDA growth on a year-over-year basis is at a stunning 391%. No wonder ETSY stock has surged over 78% in the past 12 months.</p>\n<p>With last year’s blow-out performance, investors are worried about whether the company can continue its progress.

These acquisitions will also facilitate the company’s global outreach.Etsy posted a 141% year-over-year growth&nbsp;in its first quarter, which suggests that it isn’t slowing down anytime soon.</p>\n<p><b>Roku (ROKU)</b></p>\n<p>Streaming giant Roku has been on a roll in the past year, with its revenues and subscribers fueled by the pandemic.

After all, they’ve worked hard to try to enjoy life as a senior and to not worry about their financial position. The best way to solve this problem is a well-rounded portfolio with the right balance of dividend, growth and value stocks. This article specifically focuses on the growth stocks to buy and how they can super-charge your retirement portfolio.\nGrowth stocks typically belong to those companies that are growing at an above-average rate in their respective industries. Moreover, these companies are poised to expand over a long-term horizon thanks to their ability to innovate and reinvent themselves. Growth investors look at forward profitability and cash flow metrics when picking out the best growth stocks to buy.\nWith that being said, this list below covers seven of the most promising growth stocks to buy, which will deliver returns across several markets.\n\nCloudflare(NYSE:NET)\nShopify(NYSE:SHOP)\nSquare(NYSE:SQ)\nSnap(NYSE:SNAP)\nAlibaba Group(NYSE:BABA)\nEtsy(NASDAQ:ETSY)\nRoku(NASDAQ:ROKU)\n\nCloudflare (NET)\nCloudflare has arguably one of the most active companies in the past year, launching more than 550 new products. The cloud platform has been growing rapidly and has expanded its total addressable market to over $70 billion. Additionally, it plans to spread into other profitable areas apart from its traditional content delivery services. Moreover, NET stock’s 12-month returns are at a staggering 180%.\nEarnings in the past year have been nothing short of amazing, with double-digit growth in revenues for the past three quarters. Year-over-year revenue growth is at a healthy 51%, with forward estimates at 42%.  As it looks to expand its product suite into large TAM areas such as cybersecurity and MPLS/SD-WAN, it will continue to post strong sales numbers for the foreseeable future.\nShopify (SHOP)\nShopify is a leading merchant platform that has consistently delivered for its long-term investors. With businesses having to close down during the pandemic, Shopify became a beacon of hope for small merchants starting their online businesses. As a result, its year-over-year revenue growth is dumbfounding 99.6%, which dwarfs its competition. Hence, with a wide moat and the ability to constantly evolve more than justifies SHOP stocks lofty valuation.\n2020 was another stellar year for the company, but it looks like it still has multiple chapters to write in its growth story. Its fulfillment center strategy is one of them, giving Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN) a run for its money. Moreover, its Payments division and international markets are two major catalysts for future growth. The company expects to grow its revenues by $5 billion by 2023 and take a larger bite out of the e-commerce market.\nSquare (SQ)\nSquare has turned into a new-age financial services juggernaut. It has posted stellar growth rates, delivering monster quarterly results and outperforming its already high expectations. It continues to expand its distinct ecosystems, which includes its and Seller and Cash App. Both ecosystems exhibit a $160 billion addressable market opportunity collectively. Moreover, SQ stock has generated over 130% returns in the past 12-months.\nThe Cash App platform has been a key driver of the company’s growth. Its monthly active users have grown by 50% to over 36 million in 2020.  Through its Bitcoin(CCC:BTC-USD)  functionalities and the impact of the Cash Card, it creates several monetization opportunities. Additionally, the re-opening of the U.S. and the worldwide economy will propel the stock further as more small and medium-sized enterprises regain their footing.\nSnap (SNAP)\nSocial media giant Snap was in a tough spot a couple of years ago, as its user base stagnated considerably. However, it is now back in the game with improvements in monetization, augmented reality and unique content. Analysts point towards multiple years of double-digit revenue growth ahead, and its high long-term margin structure makes SNAP stock a highly attractive investment.\nDaily Active Users (DAUs) for the company increased on a year-over-year basisin each of the four quarters last year. The trend continued in the first quarter, where its DAUs grew by a healthy 22%.  Moreover, revenues in the quarter were up 66% year-over-year to $170 million. It has multiple monetization avenues left to explore, including Maps, Spotlight, Stories and others.  Hence, with forward revenue estimates of roughly 50%, the company is in pole position to deliver strong returns for the foreseeable future.\nAlibaba Group (BABA)\nChinese e-commerce giant Alibaba has been one of the fastest-growing companies in the past several years. In the past seven years, its business has grown at a spectacular 23.8% CAGR and is still growing at an impressive pace. Year-over-year revenue growth has been at a remarkable 41%, with forward estimates over 35%. Analysts believe that BABA stock could generate over 300% returns in the next five years.\nAlibaba has gone a great job of diversifying its income streams from its traditional retail business. Some of these include cloud computing, entertainment, digital media and others. Cloud computing, in particular, is an area where Alibaba will look to invest heavily in the coming years. The high-margin business will help narrow down its losses and open up new opportunities in adjacent areas.\nEtsy (ETSY)\nEtsy is an online niche marketplace with a wide and sustainable moat. It has witnessed massive growth during the pandemic, as its revenues increased by triple-digit percentages in the past four quarters. Its gross merchandise value (GMV) and revenues increased by roughly 106% and 111%, respectively, in 2020. Moreover, its EBITDA growth on a year-over-year basis is at a stunning 391%. No wonder ETSY stock has surged over 78% in the past 12 months.\nWith last year’s blow-out performance, investors are worried about whether the company can continue its progress. Etsy is expanding its business through some smart acquisitions. It recently acquired Reverb and Depop to expand its music and fashion recommerce expertise. These acquisitions will also facilitate the company’s global outreach.Etsy posted a 141% year-over-year growth in its first quarter, which suggests that it isn’t slowing down anytime soon.\nRoku (ROKU)\nStreaming giant Roku has been on a roll in the past year, with its revenues and subscribers fueled by the pandemic. It gained an unbelievable 16.7 million new users during the pandemic and now has 53.6 million users. It is likely to achieve a record 65 million users by the conclusion of this year. With strong user monetization and active user growth, ROKU stock could potentially surge to new heights.\nLooking ahead, the company has multiple growth drivers which could push its stock price higher in the future. Its CTV ad segment, in particular, could pay a lot of dividends with the gradual shift from linear to CTV. Moreover, it continues to invest heavily in its content library, with its recent launch of Roku Originals and its acquisition of Saban Films. Hence, it has an incredible growth runway ahead and should continue posting strong top and bottom-line numbers.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":137,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":164644257,"gmtCreate":1624203980679,"gmtModify":1703830600944,"author":{"id":"3555810485403982","authorId":"3555810485403982","name":"Jo96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a8f7e88de203a82e2c93624c556c5ce","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555810485403982","authorIdStr":"3555810485403982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/164644257","repostId":"1166679093","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":370,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":166910700,"gmtCreate":1623987652500,"gmtModify":1703825793329,"author":{"id":"3555810485403982","authorId":"3555810485403982","name":"Jo96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a8f7e88de203a82e2c93624c556c5ce","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555810485403982","authorIdStr":"3555810485403982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/166910700","repostId":"2144742925","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2144742925","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1623976535,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2144742925?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-18 08:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"1 Growth Stock That Could Be Bigger Than Apple","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2144742925","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The next decade looks bright for this supercomputing company.","content":"<p>In 1999, <b>NVIDIA</b> (NASDAQ:NVDA) invented the graphics processing unit (GPU), a chip that revolutionized the gaming industry.

Given its competitive edge, NVIDIA could capture the lion's share of that figure. And if that happens, automotive sales could become a third major revenue stream for NVIDIA, supplementing its gaming and data center businesses.</p>\n<h2><b>3. NVIDIA Omniverse</b></h2>\n<p>This summer, NVIDIA will launch Omniverse, a platform that allows clients to build 3D simulations in real time. It connects industry-leading design tools from partners like <b>Autodesk</b> and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a></b>, enabling collaboration in a shared virtual space. This is a big deal for three reasons.</p>\n<p>First, Omniverse will accelerate AI. NVIDIA DRIVE Sim&nbsp;is an Omniverse-powered application that allows clients to generate synthetic driving data. That data can then be used in the real world to train AI models for autonomous vehicles.</p>\n<p>Second, Omniverse is a subscription product. That's noteworthy because semiconductor sales tend to be cyclical, which can cause lumpy revenue growth. But subscription sales are typically recurring in nature, meaning Omniverse could help NVIDIA grow its top line more consistently.</p>\n<p>Third, NVIDIA believes this is a stepping-stone to the Metaverse. If you're unfamiliar with the term, the idea comes from science fiction. The Metaverse refers to a persistent virtual world, a digital reality where people can interact and share experiences.</p>\n<p>Here's the big picture: The virtual reality market will hit $69 billion by 2028, according to Grand View Research. And so far, NVIDIA Omniverse is gaining traction rapidly. During the three-month beta testing period, it was downloaded by over 17,000 users.</p>\n<h2>A final word</h2>\n<p>To summarize, NVIDIA benefits from a solid competitive position and a massive market opportunity. Both advantages should be growth drivers over the coming decade. But will they be enough to eclipse Apple's current market cap of $2.1 trillion?</p>\n<p>No one knows the future, but I think it's possible. Since fiscal 2016 (ended Jan. 31, 2016), NVIDIA's revenue has grown at 29% per year. If it can maintain an annual growth rate of just 17% over the next decade (assuming its price-to-sales ratio remains unchanged), NVIDIA's market cap would reach $2.2 trillion in 2031.</p>","source":"fool_stock","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>1 Growth Stock That Could Be Bigger Than Apple</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\">\n1 Growth Stock That Could Be Bigger Than Apple\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-18 08:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/17/1-growth-stock-that-could-be-bigger-than-apple/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>In 1999, NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) invented the graphics processing unit (GPU), a chip that revolutionized the gaming industry.

NVIDIA Omniverse\nThis summer, NVIDIA will launch Omniverse, a platform that allows clients to build 3D simulations in real time. It connects industry-leading design tools from partners like Autodesk and Adobe, enabling collaboration in a shared virtual space. This is a big deal for three reasons.\nFirst, Omniverse will accelerate AI. NVIDIA DRIVE Sim is an Omniverse-powered application that allows clients to generate synthetic driving data. That data can then be used in the real world to train AI models for autonomous vehicles.\nSecond, Omniverse is a subscription product. That's noteworthy because semiconductor sales tend to be cyclical, which can cause lumpy revenue growth. But subscription sales are typically recurring in nature, meaning Omniverse could help NVIDIA grow its top line more consistently.\nThird, NVIDIA believes this is a stepping-stone to the Metaverse. If you're unfamiliar with the term, the idea comes from science fiction. The Metaverse refers to a persistent virtual world, a digital reality where people can interact and share experiences.\nHere's the big picture: The virtual reality market will hit $69 billion by 2028, according to Grand View Research. And so far, NVIDIA Omniverse is gaining traction rapidly. During the three-month beta testing period, it was downloaded by over 17,000 users.\nA final word\nTo summarize, NVIDIA benefits from a solid competitive position and a massive market opportunity. Both advantages should be growth drivers over the coming decade. But will they be enough to eclipse Apple's current market cap of $2.1 trillion?\nNo one knows the future, but I think it's possible. Since fiscal 2016 (ended Jan. 31, 2016), NVIDIA's revenue has grown at 29% per year. If it can maintain an annual growth rate of just 17% over the next decade (assuming its price-to-sales ratio remains unchanged), NVIDIA's market cap would reach $2.2 trillion in 2031.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":172,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":349724365,"gmtCreate":1617641253057,"gmtModify":1704701312459,"author":{"id":"3555810485403982","authorId":"3555810485403982","name":"Jo96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a8f7e88de203a82e2c93624c556c5ce","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555810485403982","authorIdStr":"3555810485403982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/349724365","repostId":"1123709980","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1123709980","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617636511,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1123709980?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-05 23:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla: The Time Is Now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1123709980","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"However, there is cause for optimism for the bulls.I'll explain a number of reasons why Tesla is a strong buy.Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News via Getty Images.

Finance</span></p>\n<p>Tesla is currently showing 50-day returns of -25%, which has only occurred a handful of times in the past three years. We can see that there was one period of protracted weakness in early 2019 that eventually resolved itself to the upside but did take some time. That was before EV stocks got their massive bid from investors, and I think it is pretty easy to argue that time frame isn’t all that comparable to today.</p>\n<p>What is comparable to today is the time period since 2020 began, and if we look at that, we see that Tesla is more oversold today by this measure than during any of the other drawdowns. I’ll say again none of this guarantees anything, but it certainly looks to me like Tesla is quite oversold on this measure, and keep in mind 50 trading days is roughly two and half months, so this is a longer-term indicator with lots of data points.</p>\n<p>Now, when I put all of this together – the recent decline, the divergences in momentum, the fact that Tesla has been a huge winner into earnings releases, and 50-day rolling returns – all signs point to a much higher stock a month or two down the road.</p>\n<p>Obviously, risks exist. The narrative for growth stocks being crushed has been higher interest rates, and if rates continue higher, it is possible we see more selling in growth names. However, the damage has been pretty severe in a lot of cases, and the interest rate narrative is a couple of months old at this point, so I’m not sure how much more downside there could be relative to what has already taken place.</p>\n<p>Even if you do buy into the idea that higher rates are responsible for growth stocks coming down, it appears to me we have rally exhaustion going on in rates, opposite to what I just explained for Tesla.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8431dcf8a7afbe72249144c017e28ced\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"536\"><span>Source: StockCharts</span></p>\n<p>We can see with this two-year chart that rates are still well below where they were pre-pandemic, with room for another 20 or 30bps before getting back to early-2020 levels.

Negative divergences like these often portend a change of trend, at least temporarily, and I firmly believe rates have moved too high, too quickly. If you believe rates are responsible for growth stock declines, this should look pretty bullish to you.</p>\n<p><b>Not just a trade</b></p>\n<p>I’ve detailed above why I think Tesla is set up very well right now technically, and I think the stock is on the cusp of a big move higher. However, Tesla isn’t just a trade candidate. I used to be a Tesla hater based on valuation this and valuation that, but the company has proven me wrong time and again. And it isn’t just me; have a look at this chart of revenue estimates, which move up, up, and up some more over time.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8499c62835d88fca8a6c22c7cb8aeae8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"282\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>Revenue estimates have soared for the out years, but also for 2021 and 2022, in recent months. Tesla (read: Musk) has put out some highly ambitious goals over the year, some of which have come to fruition, and some of which haven’t. But this company is a massive disruptor in an industry with literally trillions of dollars on the line in the coming decade and has a huge head start on legacy players that are now trying to play catch up.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/414e539154fdd2ed51e8f5518cc1dee4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"663\"><span>Source: Investor presentation</span></p>\n<p>The company continues to invest billions of dollars in new production capacity for its products, including Gigafactories in Shanghai, Berlin, and Austin. The Roadster will be low volume and likely won’t make much difference for revenue or earnings, but things like the Cybertruck and Semi have enormous potential.</p>\n<p>Tesla has taken big market share gains over the years with a very small lineup of vehicles, and as batteries become cheaper, as ranges get longer, and as more and more localities ban gasoline and diesel vehicles, Tesla is easily the biggest winner. Legacy manufacturers have scale advantages in terms of financing and footprints in place, but they are many years behind Tesla in terms of development.</p>\n<p>The beautiful thing is that Tesla is taking market share, but the market itself is growing rapidly. The adoption of EVs among consumers is still in the very early stages, and for commercial fleets, it is even earlier. This sort of rapidly expanding market is good for all players, but for Tesla, it is taking share in a burgeoning market, creating a virtuous cycle of upward revenue potential. That’s why estimates continue to rise, and why I believe they will continue to do so.</p>\n<p>Entire&nbsp;countries&nbsp;have made public their desire to ban fossil fuel vehicles in the not-too-distant future, which is why the legacy manufacturers are getting serious about EVs; there is no viable alternative at this point. Tesla has been developing for years and is the undisputed leader in the space, so it is in a much better competitive position for the eventual banning of fossil fuel vehicles around the world. Below we have EV market share, where Tesla is leading the way.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e5d31a504c8d24f752bdf964272d0c80\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"415\"><span>Source: Statista</span></p>\n<p>Tesla is in front of the only legacy OEM with any sort of meaningful share, which doesn't even account for the Detroit automakers, which are just getting started.</p>\n<p>Tesla has years of knowledge in battery development - which is a key competitive advantage and differentiator - and it has already invested in manufacturing scale that not only affords higher capacity but a lead over the others that are trying to catch up. In short, Tesla knew the path forward was EVs years before the OEMs, which are now trying to replicate Tesla's success.</p>\n<p>On the earnings front, Tesla used to be a leap of faith that at some point, the company would actually make some money. However, Tesla has now produced a full-year profit, and there appears to be no looking back.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/509625fa57a60dedf709454caef2bf2a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"282\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>Estimates have ramped higher since mid-2019, with steep upward slopes in estimates from 2021 through 2026 moving meaningfully higher. Tesla, in other words, has reached the inflection point with volume where it can cover all of its fixed costs, and reliably stop burning through cash by the hundreds of millions of dollars, which was an issue for years. That’s critically important because Tesla is no longer a leap of faith; it is a company with industry-leading operating margins and huge revenue growth potential.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c2ca244f453cb1ff0d6cf666285f958d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"280\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>If you look at the bottom line in the above table, operating income on a TTM basis was negative through March 2019 but has been positive - and rising - since. That means Tesla has indeed reached the point where profitability is no longer a concern; this is an important step in its maturation process and proof it is now a mainstream automaker.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation and sentiment</b></p>\n<p>The interesting thing is that despite the wave of positive news coming from Tesla itself, and in news items like entire countries planning to ban fossil fuel vehicles, the analyst community is never quite bullish on Tesla.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/464a965b06e8dd2a0e88f7849563b9fd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"188\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>Authors here on<i>Seeking Alpha</i>are, on the whole, bearish leaning, while we see a similar story with Wall Street ratings. I simply don’t agree given the massive potential Tesla has and the fact that it is a proven winner. There are now countless EV manufacturers, but none of them have the scale, product line, and development time in the tool kit that Tesla does.</p>\n<p>And as Tesla continues to take market share in this market that is growing so rapidly, there is a lot of room for analysts to figure out they are on the wrong side of Tesla.</p>\n<p>Finally, let’s take a look at the EV to sales ratios of Tesla and a selection of competitors for the past year.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/57b4c81b65d3137aa47507c4757025df\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"186\"><span>Source: TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>Valuations moved a lot higher coming out of the pandemic, but that’s true of just about any sector you can think of; a 100-year pandemic event will crush valuations. Out of that, however, came much higher EV stock valuations for all of the reasons I mentioned above; the market is booming and consumers are responding by buying EVs. However, the massive run-up in valuations has largely been unwound, and I think it is pretty interesting that Tesla, which trades at 13X EV to forward sales, is in the middle of this pack.</p>\n<p>The others on the list can rightly be called startups and have nothing close to the brand recognition, product line, development capability, manufacturing capability, or anything else you can think of when compared to Tesla. That means Tesla’s competitive advantage should be secure for years to come, but it trades for a similar valuation to these others that are sort of like buying Tesla in 2012 or 2013; it might work out, but it might not. Tesla is a very long way down the road in terms of its lifecycle compared to these competitors, so the relative risk is much lower.</p>\n<p><b>Final Thoughts</b></p>\n<p>Tesla is not only winning today, but it is continuing to invest tirelessly into winning tomorrow. Production scale for models like the 3, S, X, and Y is critical because those vehicles are selling today and providing the cash to invest in things like Cybertruck and Semi. Tesla is committed to winning in all stages of the EV market, including not only consumer but commercial as well.</p>\n<p>Semi production&nbsp;isn’t far off, and the company is already receiving&nbsp;interest&nbsp;from buyers. This has the potential for<i>massive</i>market share gains for Tesla in the next decade, but is not a story for 2021, to be clear.</p>\n<p>The point here is that Tesla shares have been beaten down to levels that I believe are low enough to buy. The company has been a reliable winner into earnings reports, which we are slated to see in just over three weeks time. Its market share gains continue to pile up and with its massive head start in the world of EVs, Tesla looks like a clear long-term winner.</p>\n<p>Valuations are rich but have come way down in recent weeks, and I’m going against the grain of recent pieces here on<i>SA</i>and am very bullish on Tesla, not only short term but longer term as well.</p>\n<p>Risks abound, of course, as they do with any automaker. The core risk for any company is that its product doesn't work in the marketplace, but for Tesla, that seems a bit farfetched given the success it has had. Tesla now has a full lineup of vehicles that is ever-expanding, and its brand is hugely valuable given its de factor first-mover advantage in EVs, scaling before the rest of the world thought to do so.</p>\n<p>Given this, the principal risk to Tesla's bull case is not in the business itself, but in the valuation discussion. It is possible that investors will choose to stop paying very high earnings multiples for Tesla in the coming years. This could occur due to missteps from Tesla - such as poor product design, overcapacity, or products consumers simply don't want - or it could come from the intense amount of competition that is likely to come online in the coming years.</p>\n<p>That, to me, is the biggest risk of buying Tesla today because it certainly appears this company is doing all the right things to win in an EV-dominated world. Thus, if you can look past the current valuation, if you're going to buy an automaker, you want to look at Tesla first.</p>","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>Tesla: The Time Is Now</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\">\nTesla: The Time Is Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-05 23:28 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4417634-tesla-the-time-is-now><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nTSLA has been decimated in recent weeks.\nHowever, there is cause for optimism for the bulls.\nI'll explain a number of reasons why Tesla is a strong buy.\n\nPhoto by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4417634-tesla-the-time-is-now\">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/4417634-tesla-the-time-is-now","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1123709980","content_text":"Summary\n\nTSLA has been decimated in recent weeks.\nHowever, there is cause for optimism for the bulls.\nI'll explain a number of reasons why Tesla is a strong buy.\n\nPhoto by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News via Getty Images\nGrowth stocks have been absolutely destroyed in the past couple of months, and in the process, some bargains have been created.

If you believe rates are responsible for growth stock declines, this should look pretty bullish to you.\nNot just a trade\nI’ve detailed above why I think Tesla is set up very well right now technically, and I think the stock is on the cusp of a big move higher. However, Tesla isn’t just a trade candidate. I used to be a Tesla hater based on valuation this and valuation that, but the company has proven me wrong time and again. And it isn’t just me; have a look at this chart of revenue estimates, which move up, up, and up some more over time.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nRevenue estimates have soared for the out years, but also for 2021 and 2022, in recent months. Tesla (read: Musk) has put out some highly ambitious goals over the year, some of which have come to fruition, and some of which haven’t. But this company is a massive disruptor in an industry with literally trillions of dollars on the line in the coming decade and has a huge head start on legacy players that are now trying to play catch up.\nSource: Investor presentation\nThe company continues to invest billions of dollars in new production capacity for its products, including Gigafactories in Shanghai, Berlin, and Austin. The Roadster will be low volume and likely won’t make much difference for revenue or earnings, but things like the Cybertruck and Semi have enormous potential.\nTesla has taken big market share gains over the years with a very small lineup of vehicles, and as batteries become cheaper, as ranges get longer, and as more and more localities ban gasoline and diesel vehicles, Tesla is easily the biggest winner. Legacy manufacturers have scale advantages in terms of financing and footprints in place, but they are many years behind Tesla in terms of development.\nThe beautiful thing is that Tesla is taking market share, but the market itself is growing rapidly. The adoption of EVs among consumers is still in the very early stages, and for commercial fleets, it is even earlier. This sort of rapidly expanding market is good for all players, but for Tesla, it is taking share in a burgeoning market, creating a virtuous cycle of upward revenue potential. That’s why estimates continue to rise, and why I believe they will continue to do so.\nEntire countries have made public their desire to ban fossil fuel vehicles in the not-too-distant future, which is why the legacy manufacturers are getting serious about EVs; there is no viable alternative at this point. Tesla has been developing for years and is the undisputed leader in the space, so it is in a much better competitive position for the eventual banning of fossil fuel vehicles around the world. Below we have EV market share, where Tesla is leading the way.\nSource: Statista\nTesla is in front of the only legacy OEM with any sort of meaningful share, which doesn't even account for the Detroit automakers, which are just getting started.\nTesla has years of knowledge in battery development - which is a key competitive advantage and differentiator - and it has already invested in manufacturing scale that not only affords higher capacity but a lead over the others that are trying to catch up. In short, Tesla knew the path forward was EVs years before the OEMs, which are now trying to replicate Tesla's success.\nOn the earnings front, Tesla used to be a leap of faith that at some point, the company would actually make some money. However, Tesla has now produced a full-year profit, and there appears to be no looking back.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nEstimates have ramped higher since mid-2019, with steep upward slopes in estimates from 2021 through 2026 moving meaningfully higher. Tesla, in other words, has reached the inflection point with volume where it can cover all of its fixed costs, and reliably stop burning through cash by the hundreds of millions of dollars, which was an issue for years. That’s critically important because Tesla is no longer a leap of faith; it is a company with industry-leading operating margins and huge revenue growth potential.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nIf you look at the bottom line in the above table, operating income on a TTM basis was negative through March 2019 but has been positive - and rising - since. That means Tesla has indeed reached the point where profitability is no longer a concern; this is an important step in its maturation process and proof it is now a mainstream automaker.\nValuation and sentiment\nThe interesting thing is that despite the wave of positive news coming from Tesla itself, and in news items like entire countries planning to ban fossil fuel vehicles, the analyst community is never quite bullish on Tesla.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nAuthors here onSeeking Alphaare, on the whole, bearish leaning, while we see a similar story with Wall Street ratings. I simply don’t agree given the massive potential Tesla has and the fact that it is a proven winner. There are now countless EV manufacturers, but none of them have the scale, product line, and development time in the tool kit that Tesla does.\nAnd as Tesla continues to take market share in this market that is growing so rapidly, there is a lot of room for analysts to figure out they are on the wrong side of Tesla.\nFinally, let’s take a look at the EV to sales ratios of Tesla and a selection of competitors for the past year.\nSource: TIKR.com\nValuations moved a lot higher coming out of the pandemic, but that’s true of just about any sector you can think of; a 100-year pandemic event will crush valuations. Out of that, however, came much higher EV stock valuations for all of the reasons I mentioned above; the market is booming and consumers are responding by buying EVs. However, the massive run-up in valuations has largely been unwound, and I think it is pretty interesting that Tesla, which trades at 13X EV to forward sales, is in the middle of this pack.\nThe others on the list can rightly be called startups and have nothing close to the brand recognition, product line, development capability, manufacturing capability, or anything else you can think of when compared to Tesla. That means Tesla’s competitive advantage should be secure for years to come, but it trades for a similar valuation to these others that are sort of like buying Tesla in 2012 or 2013; it might work out, but it might not. Tesla is a very long way down the road in terms of its lifecycle compared to these competitors, so the relative risk is much lower.\nFinal Thoughts\nTesla is not only winning today, but it is continuing to invest tirelessly into winning tomorrow. Production scale for models like the 3, S, X, and Y is critical because those vehicles are selling today and providing the cash to invest in things like Cybertruck and Semi. Tesla is committed to winning in all stages of the EV market, including not only consumer but commercial as well.\nSemi production isn’t far off, and the company is already receiving interest from buyers. This has the potential formassivemarket share gains for Tesla in the next decade, but is not a story for 2021, to be clear.\nThe point here is that Tesla shares have been beaten down to levels that I believe are low enough to buy. The company has been a reliable winner into earnings reports, which we are slated to see in just over three weeks time. Its market share gains continue to pile up and with its massive head start in the world of EVs, Tesla looks like a clear long-term winner.\nValuations are rich but have come way down in recent weeks, and I’m going against the grain of recent pieces here onSAand am very bullish on Tesla, not only short term but longer term as well.\nRisks abound, of course, as they do with any automaker. The core risk for any company is that its product doesn't work in the marketplace, but for Tesla, that seems a bit farfetched given the success it has had. Tesla now has a full lineup of vehicles that is ever-expanding, and its brand is hugely valuable given its de factor first-mover advantage in EVs, scaling before the rest of the world thought to do so.\nGiven this, the principal risk to Tesla's bull case is not in the business itself, but in the valuation discussion. It is possible that investors will choose to stop paying very high earnings multiples for Tesla in the coming years. This could occur due to missteps from Tesla - such as poor product design, overcapacity, or products consumers simply don't want - or it could come from the intense amount of competition that is likely to come online in the coming years.\nThat, to me, is the biggest risk of buying Tesla today because it certainly appears this company is doing all the right things to win in an EV-dominated world. Thus, if you can look past the current valuation, if you're going to buy an automaker, you want to look at Tesla first.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":145,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":164679073,"gmtCreate":1624204117592,"gmtModify":1703830603208,"author":{"id":"3555810485403982","authorId":"3555810485403982","name":"Jo96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a8f7e88de203a82e2c93624c556c5ce","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555810485403982","authorIdStr":"3555810485403982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/164679073","repostId":"1192473918","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1192473918","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624029343,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1192473918?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-18 23:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"PLTR Stock: The Palantir-FAA Deal News Should Have Investors Smiling Today","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1192473918","media":"investorplace","summary":"Palantir Technologies(NYSE:PLTR) stock is on the move Friday following news of a deal with the Feder","content":"<p><b>Palantir Technologies</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>) stock is on the move Friday following news of a deal with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).</p>\n<p>The goal of this deal is toassist the FAA in modernizing its ” objectives for aviation safety.”This will have Palantir Technologies providing the agency with a data analyzing tool to help with that effort.</p>\n<p>According to a news release, this will have Palantir Technologies monitoring various safety aspects for the FAA.

Latest data reveals that short interest in Palantir declined by 23.8% in the latest cycle alone. This suggests that a broad swath of market participants isn't buying into the bearish narratives surrounding the company, perceive its stock to be fairly valued and perhaps even anticipate it to rally going forward. This development should come across as an encouraging sign for the company's long-side investors. Let's take a closer look at it all.</p>\n<p><b>The Data</b></p>\n<p>I'd like to start by explaining the term \"short interest\" for the uninitiated. It's essentially the total number of short positions that are open against any given stock. A sharp rise in the metric indicates that traders grew bearish on the concerned company, and actively initiated short positions against it. Conversely, a sharp decline in the metric indicates that traders actively wound up their short positions either perhaps because they anticipate the stock to bottom out and/or rally going forward. So, the short interest is a useful tool to gauge the Street's ever-evolving market sentiment.</p>\n<p>In Palantir's case, its short interest at the end of the latest data cycle stood at 52.3 million, sharply down by 23.8% on a sequential basis. Although Palantir's short interest figure isn't at its all-time low yet, the pace of its recent decline, however, is certainly one of the fastest in the company's brief history since its direct listing last year. For the record, Palantir has over 1.8 billion shares outstanding which means that about 2.8% of its entire share total had been shorted. Also, the short interest data is for the cycle spanning from early June to mid-June, and the data wasreleasedon Thursday.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/95e4623fda1d9079a2699b57d4ee0f42\" tg-width=\"637\" tg-height=\"450\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Next, I wanted to confirm if other software application companies also registered a sharp reduction in their short interest figures, or was Palantir an anomaly in its peer group. So, to get a broader perspective on its industry, I pulled the short interest figures for about 100 software application stocks listed in the US.

Latest data reveals that short interest in Palantir declined by 23.8% in the latest cycle alone. This suggests that a broad swath of market participants isn't buying into the bearish narratives surrounding the company, perceive its stock to be fairly valued and perhaps even anticipate it to rally going forward. This development should come across as an encouraging sign for the company's long-side investors. Let's take a closer look at it all.\nThe Data\nI'd like to start by explaining the term \"short interest\" for the uninitiated. It's essentially the total number of short positions that are open against any given stock. A sharp rise in the metric indicates that traders grew bearish on the concerned company, and actively initiated short positions against it. Conversely, a sharp decline in the metric indicates that traders actively wound up their short positions either perhaps because they anticipate the stock to bottom out and/or rally going forward. So, the short interest is a useful tool to gauge the Street's ever-evolving market sentiment.\nIn Palantir's case, its short interest at the end of the latest data cycle stood at 52.3 million, sharply down by 23.8% on a sequential basis. Although Palantir's short interest figure isn't at its all-time low yet, the pace of its recent decline, however, is certainly one of the fastest in the company's brief history since its direct listing last year. For the record, Palantir has over 1.8 billion shares outstanding which means that about 2.8% of its entire share total had been shorted. Also, the short interest data is for the cycle spanning from early June to mid-June, and the data wasreleasedon Thursday.\n\nNext, I wanted to confirm if other software application companies also registered a sharp reduction in their short interest figures, or was Palantir an anomaly in its peer group. So, to get a broader perspective on its industry, I pulled the short interest figures for about 100 software application stocks listed in the US. Interestingly, 55% of these stocks registered a net reduction in their short interest figures, of varying magnitudes of course, which points to an industry-wide short unwinding.\n(Source: BusinessQuant.com, Wsj.com)\nMoreover, the median short interest decline was 1.9%, whereas Palantir's short interest declined by a far more significant 23.8% during the same data cycle. In fact, there were just 6 other stocks in our study group, which saw their short interest decline in excess of 23.8%. This conclusively shows that market participants were far too active with unwinding their short positions in Palantir.\nBut this leads us to an important question - why are market participants so cautious with shorting Palantir in the first place?\nCautious for Good Reason\nAs I've explained in my prior articles, Palantir has several initiatives at play which could collectively catapult its growth in 2021-22.

Indeed, the surge in demand for EVs has not only vindicated his foresight, but allowed his company to remain a market leader above late-coming competitors.</p>\n<p>However, while the company Musk leads as Technoking is no doubt a market leader, it has not solely cashed in by beating its competitors in terms of sales. Instead, a key to the company's recent turn to profitability has come from taking advantage of government incentives and selling the excess incentives it holds to these very same competitors. And now that many of these competitors are engaging more aggressively in EVs themselves, Tesla may soon find itself without many of these customers and, therefore, without a significant contributor to its profits.</p>\n<p><b>Raking in the Regulatory Credits</b></p>\n<p>The credits that Tesla has handsomely profited from are tradable credits offered by various governments around the world for zero-emission vehicles. The fact that they are tradable is crucial since this allows Tesla to sell the credits to other automakers who might not otherwise comply with emission standards without the use of these credits. The set-up allows Tesla to book the credits as purely additive to its top line, with the automakers buying these credits avoiding hefty fines from regulators.</p>\n<p>Per Tesla’s most recent 10-K filing, the company earned $1.58 billion from the sale of these credits in 2020, up from $594 million in the year prior and $419 million in 2018. The year-over -year jump notwithstanding, the credit sales might appear to be a paltry sum given the company’s $31.5 billion in total revenue in 2020. However, their nature as purely profit, in contrast to capital intensive auto manufacturing, means they have been a pivotal part of Tesla’s push towards profitability.</p>\n<p>Indeed, Tesla’s much-lauded $721 million profit in 2020, the very first profitable full year in its history, was clearly boosted over the top by the surge in regulatory credit sales. Had they remained consistent with the prior periods, the landmark year would have been left short of break-even, keeping up the company's trend of annual losses maintained since its inception.</p>\n<p>The trend has continued into 2021 as the company reported $518 million in revenues from credit salesin the first quarter, which boosted the company once again to a $438-million quarterly profit. While vehicle deliveries consistently catch the headlines, it's clear that the regulatory credits are buoying the automaker into the black.</p>\n<p><b>Competition Cuts Into Cash Flow</b></p>\n<p>The problem with the profit margin may be approaching faster than some have anticipated as well, with the increased entry of traditional automakers like Ford&nbsp;(<b>F</b>) -Get Report, General Motors&nbsp;(<b>GM</b>) -Get Report, and Stellantis STLA into the EV space.</p>\n<p>While much of the focus revolves around these companies’ threat to Tesla’s core auto sales, the popularity of Tesla among its devoted fans might sustain it amidst the hard-charging competition. As such, the trajectory of its sales, while now threatened by competent competition, remains somewhat murky at the moment.</p>\n<p>The question of regulatory credit impact is much more straightforward. If Tesla’s competitors are producing their own electric vehicles and fewer ICE autos, they have no need to spend so substantially on buying credits from Tesla.</p>\n<p>Per a Reuters report, Fiat Chrysler agreed to purchase $2.4 billion worth of emissions credits from Tesla from 2019 through 2021, likely accounting for a lion’s share of the roughly $2.2 billion recorded in total in credits sold in Tesla’s 2019 and 2020 10-K filings. However, after Fiat Chrysler merged with French automaker PSA Group in May to form Stellantis, this reliable revenue stream looks likely to fade.</p>\n<p>\"With the electrical technology that PSA brought to Stellantis, we will autonomously meet carbon dioxide emission regulations as early as this year,\" Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares told French media after the merger. \"Thus, we will not need to call on European CO2 credits and [Fiat Chrysler] will no longer have to pool with Tesla or anyone.\"</p>\n<p><b>Already Anticipated?</b></p>\n<p>To be sure, the looming threat of regulatory credit sales eroding is by no means a novel development. CFO Zachary Kirkhorn noted in a call with analysts in mid-2020 that “we don’t manage the business with the assumption that regulatory credits will contribute significantly to the future. Eventually this will reduce.”</p>\n<p>Kirkhorn’s focus on the core business, especially in terms of battery technology, rather than the regulatory credit sales, is bolstered by the thoughts of prominent Tesla bulls.</p>\n<p>“We have owned Tesla for a decade and from day one we expected regulatory credits to go to zero within three years,” Jennison Associates analyst Owuraka Koney said. “They are comfortable without these regulatory credits and they make money when you exclude these credits and these non-recurring costs that they face.”</p>\n<p>Koney cited Elon Musk’smassive compensation packagetied to the company's recent stock surges as a key non-recurring cost in this context. Further, Koney argued that the regulatory credit benefits are being unfairly compared to overall profitability, which he sees as an apples-and-oranges comparison.

Indeed, the surge in demand for EVs has not only vindicated his foresight, but allowed his company to remain a market leader above late-coming competitors.\nHowever, while the company Musk leads as Technoking is no doubt a market leader, it has not solely cashed in by beating its competitors in terms of sales. Instead, a key to the company's recent turn to profitability has come from taking advantage of government incentives and selling the excess incentives it holds to these very same competitors. And now that many of these competitors are engaging more aggressively in EVs themselves, Tesla may soon find itself without many of these customers and, therefore, without a significant contributor to its profits.\nRaking in the Regulatory Credits\nThe credits that Tesla has handsomely profited from are tradable credits offered by various governments around the world for zero-emission vehicles. The fact that they are tradable is crucial since this allows Tesla to sell the credits to other automakers who might not otherwise comply with emission standards without the use of these credits. The set-up allows Tesla to book the credits as purely additive to its top line, with the automakers buying these credits avoiding hefty fines from regulators.\nPer Tesla’s most recent 10-K filing, the company earned $1.58 billion from the sale of these credits in 2020, up from $594 million in the year prior and $419 million in 2018. The year-over -year jump notwithstanding, the credit sales might appear to be a paltry sum given the company’s $31.5 billion in total revenue in 2020. However, their nature as purely profit, in contrast to capital intensive auto manufacturing, means they have been a pivotal part of Tesla’s push towards profitability.\nIndeed, Tesla’s much-lauded $721 million profit in 2020, the very first profitable full year in its history, was clearly boosted over the top by the surge in regulatory credit sales. Had they remained consistent with the prior periods, the landmark year would have been left short of break-even, keeping up the company's trend of annual losses maintained since its inception.\nThe trend has continued into 2021 as the company reported $518 million in revenues from credit salesin the first quarter, which boosted the company once again to a $438-million quarterly profit. While vehicle deliveries consistently catch the headlines, it's clear that the regulatory credits are buoying the automaker into the black.\nCompetition Cuts Into Cash Flow\nThe problem with the profit margin may be approaching faster than some have anticipated as well, with the increased entry of traditional automakers like Ford (F) -Get Report, General Motors (GM) -Get Report, and Stellantis STLA into the EV space.\nWhile much of the focus revolves around these companies’ threat to Tesla’s core auto sales, the popularity of Tesla among its devoted fans might sustain it amidst the hard-charging competition. As such, the trajectory of its sales, while now threatened by competent competition, remains somewhat murky at the moment.\nThe question of regulatory credit impact is much more straightforward. If Tesla’s competitors are producing their own electric vehicles and fewer ICE autos, they have no need to spend so substantially on buying credits from Tesla.\nPer a Reuters report, Fiat Chrysler agreed to purchase $2.4 billion worth of emissions credits from Tesla from 2019 through 2021, likely accounting for a lion’s share of the roughly $2.2 billion recorded in total in credits sold in Tesla’s 2019 and 2020 10-K filings. However, after Fiat Chrysler merged with French automaker PSA Group in May to form Stellantis, this reliable revenue stream looks likely to fade.\n\"With the electrical technology that PSA brought to Stellantis, we will autonomously meet carbon dioxide emission regulations as early as this year,\" Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares told French media after the merger. \"Thus, we will not need to call on European CO2 credits and [Fiat Chrysler] will no longer have to pool with Tesla or anyone.\"\nAlready Anticipated?\nTo be sure, the looming threat of regulatory credit sales eroding is by no means a novel development. CFO Zachary Kirkhorn noted in a call with analysts in mid-2020 that “we don’t manage the business with the assumption that regulatory credits will contribute significantly to the future. Eventually this will reduce.”\nKirkhorn’s focus on the core business, especially in terms of battery technology, rather than the regulatory credit sales, is bolstered by the thoughts of prominent Tesla bulls.\n“We have owned Tesla for a decade and from day one we expected regulatory credits to go to zero within three years,” Jennison Associates analyst Owuraka Koney said. “They are comfortable without these regulatory credits and they make money when you exclude these credits and these non-recurring costs that they face.”\nKoney cited Elon Musk’smassive compensation packagetied to the company's recent stock surges as a key non-recurring cost in this context. Further, Koney argued that the regulatory credit benefits are being unfairly compared to overall profitability, which he sees as an apples-and-oranges comparison. He explained that the more relevant comparison is to Tesla’s operating income, which was $1.99 billion on a GAAP basis in 2020, up over $2 billion from the figure in 2019. The leap suggests strength greater than that simply achieved via the regulatory credit benefit, in his view.\nMike Dovororany, VP of Automotive & Mobility at market research firm Escalent, seconded the rosier view held by Koney, reiterating that the risk of regulatory credits fading is well understood by savvy investors, and further that the current U.S. administration might actually aid Tesla’s ability to capitalize on regulation.\n“Because credit sales have always been the main driver behind Tesla’s profitability, investors should be well-accustomed to this risk,” he explained. “Also, as the Biden Administration looks to reconsider stricter emissions regulations, the EV credit market could become more important than ever.”\nWith the administration now proposing a $174-billion investment in the electric vehicle market aspart of the American Jobs Act, including new tax credits, there is certainly ample reason to be excited. Given Tesla's ability to capitalize on these incentives, it will be worth watching what the final bill entails when it crosses Biden's desk and whether it might mean lead to more big profits for Tesla.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":215,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":162318207,"gmtCreate":1624034262309,"gmtModify":1703827346509,"author":{"id":"3555810485403982","authorId":"3555810485403982","name":"Jo96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a8f7e88de203a82e2c93624c556c5ce","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555810485403982","authorIdStr":"3555810485403982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/162318207","repostId":"2144477966","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":305,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":162311183,"gmtCreate":1624034211542,"gmtModify":1703827344729,"author":{"id":"3555810485403982","authorId":"3555810485403982","name":"Jo96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a8f7e88de203a82e2c93624c556c5ce","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555810485403982","authorIdStr":"3555810485403982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/162311183","repostId":"1192473918","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1192473918","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624029343,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1192473918?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-18 23:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"PLTR Stock: The Palantir-FAA Deal News Should Have Investors Smiling Today","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1192473918","media":"investorplace","summary":"Palantir Technologies(NYSE:PLTR) stock is on the move Friday following news of a deal with the Feder","content":"<p><b>Palantir Technologies</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>) stock is on the move Friday following news of a deal with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).</p>\n<p>The goal of this deal is toassist the FAA in modernizing its ” objectives for aviation safety.”This will have Palantir Technologies providing the agency with a data analyzing tool to help with that effort.</p>\n<p>According to a news release, this will have Palantir Technologies monitoring various safety aspects for the FAA.

But the company isn't as bad. On the contrary, the data analytics firm is performing well on several parameters – such as customer growth, government order wins and margin expansion – which should come as an encouraging sign for its long-side investors and dispel such speculative bearish narratives. Let's take a closer look.</p>\n<p><b>Rapid Customer Growth</b></p>\n<p>Bears have been criticizing Palantir for its bespoke functionality ever since it went public. Its platforms involve customization for various workflows and customer needs, so bears feel the company faces difficulty in onboarding several customers at once and as a result, it’s bottlenecked and its growth momentum can fizzle out. While I respect contrasting opinions, fact of the matter here is that Palantir doesn’t seem to be struggling with customer adds.</p>\n<p>The company’s customer count increased by over 7% on a sequential basis in Q1 2021. Our database at Business Quant reveals that this pace of growth is actually higher than that reported by some of the other renowned names in the software application and infrastructure industries. This immediately dispels the narrative that Palantir faces difficulty in scaling customer relationships due to its bespoke features, whenit's performing better than peers in this regard.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37577e60466b8a980efd8bee77b02711\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"516\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>The company’s elevated pace of customer additions shouldn’t come as a surprise to my readers. I’ve explained in my prior articles how the company is undertaking a slew of measures – such as adopting a customer-friendly&nbsp;payment model, ramping up its&nbsp;sales function&nbsp;and introducing&nbsp;free trials&nbsp;for major enterprises – to expand its customer base. These initiatives were announced only a few months ago, and will continue for the rest of FY21, so I expect Palantir to continue adding customers at a rapid rate in near future as well.</p>\n<p>Having said that, there’s no denying that Palantir’s customer base isn’t as sizable as some of its peers, but that’s also where its growth opportunity lies.

So, overall, I don’t think Palantir’s margin profile is hopeless as many believe it to be, and I expect the company to become profitable by 2024.</p>\n<p><b>Government Contract Wins</b></p>\n<p>Moving on, Palantir has been doing extremely well when it comes to securing government contracts. B2G contracts are generally tough to win – given the extensive qualification criteria, long turnaround times and heightened competition – but Palantir seems to have the figured out recipe for success on the government side of its business. For the uninitiated, its revenue from government contracts rose 76% year over year, accounted for about 61% of the company's overall revenue, in Q1.</p>\n<p>Unless the company botches up somewhere, these government agencies are likely going to internally recommend it for varied applications. They won’t have to qualify Palantir time and again for several criteria which could drive these internal cross-agency referrals in a speedy manner and these agencies might even ramp up their spending in pre-existing contracts. So, Palantir just needs to rinse-and-repeat its B2G (Business-to-Government) strategy, and its government revenue could continue growing rapidly.</p>\n<p>Palantir has also made steady progress with regards to its government business so far in Q2. Its Q2 is still ongoing, but at the time of this writing, the company has over $36 million worth of new current action obligations from government deals, agreements and contracts, most of which haven’t made the headlines. For the uninitiated, a new deal could be an addition to pre-existing deal, expand the scope of previously agreed upon deliverables, it could be entirely new in nature, have varied execution periods that span from months to years and/or also have a recurring revenue stream attached to it.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/091203d7b476076ff008ca0c3b0f6ad2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"352\"><span>(Source: BusinessQuant.com)</span></p>\n<p>So, while there are several variables that prevent us from reliably estimating the near-term revenue impact from these deals, Palantir’s shareholders with a long-term time horizon should feel reassured that their company continues to make steady progress towards growing its government business.</p>\n<p><b>Final Thoughts</b></p>\n<p>Palantir’s shares are currently trading at about 43-times its trailing twelve-month sales which is, undeniably, high by conventional standards.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/40584e7d2ca5458e8609338887f80e2f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"361\"><span>(Source: BusinessQuant.com)</span></p>\n<p>However, its rich valuations alone shouldn't be the basis of a bear thesis.

But the company isn't as bad. On the contrary, the data analytics firm is performing well on several parameters – such as customer growth, government order wins and margin expansion – which should come as an encouraging sign for its long-side investors and dispel such speculative bearish narratives. Let's take a closer look.\nRapid Customer Growth\nBears have been criticizing Palantir for its bespoke functionality ever since it went public. Its platforms involve customization for various workflows and customer needs, so bears feel the company faces difficulty in onboarding several customers at once and as a result, it’s bottlenecked and its growth momentum can fizzle out. While I respect contrasting opinions, fact of the matter here is that Palantir doesn’t seem to be struggling with customer adds.\nThe company’s customer count increased by over 7% on a sequential basis in Q1 2021. Our database at Business Quant reveals that this pace of growth is actually higher than that reported by some of the other renowned names in the software application and infrastructure industries. This immediately dispels the narrative that Palantir faces difficulty in scaling customer relationships due to its bespoke features, whenit's performing better than peers in this regard.\n\nThe company’s elevated pace of customer additions shouldn’t come as a surprise to my readers. I’ve explained in my prior articles how the company is undertaking a slew of measures – such as adopting a customer-friendly payment model, ramping up its sales function and introducing free trials for major enterprises – to expand its customer base. These initiatives were announced only a few months ago, and will continue for the rest of FY21, so I expect Palantir to continue adding customers at a rapid rate in near future as well.\nHaving said that, there’s no denying that Palantir’s customer base isn’t as sizable as some of its peers, but that’s also where its growth opportunity lies. It suggests that Palantir is yet to penetrate its target market in a big way and that its lower base effect makes it easier for the company to continue expanding its customer base at elevated rates.\nThere are broadly four takeaways here, which, by the way, the bears seem to discount time and again. These are:\n\nPalantir's target market isn't saturated yet and it can still find new customers with ease,\nThese new customers are bound to lift the company’s revenue higher in 2021 by a varied magnitude, depending on their contract value,\nIf these are recurring contracts, then that’s going to boost Palantir’s future revenue projections and guidance,\nIf these new customers eventually ramp up their spend, then that's also going to boost Palantir’s future cash flows.\n\nRegarding the last bullet, it's worth noting that Palantir’s top 20 customers, in general, have significantly ramped up their spending on the company’s data analytics platforms in each of the last 10 years. This new batch of customers, and any future customer additions, could also go through this spending expansion phase in the subsequent years and gradually boost Palantir’s revenue along the way. So, we must give due importance to its rapid pace of customer adds and not take it lightly.\n(Source: BusinessQuant.com)\nMargin Expansion\nAnother issue with assessing Palantir’s growth prospects is that the company isn’t profitable yet. While some feel the stock will remain subdued due to its weak margin profile, others feel it can collapse down to single digits. The frustration is understandable given the company posted a net loss of $0.07 per share in its most recent quarter.\n(Source:Seeking Alpha)\nBut I wanted to see for myself if Palantir’s margin profile was actually as hopeless as many believe it to be.

Snowflake was at the time of its IPO, a unprofitable software company, which is why it was interesting that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) , which normally eschews investing in software or cloud companies actually wound up&nbsp;investing $735 million or 6.1 million Snowflake shares at the $120 IPO price.</p>\n<p>On September 18, 2020, CEO Frank Slootman,in an interview, disclosed that Berkshire's insurance unit has been using Snowflake's services for quite awhile and that might be part of the reason that Berkshire was comfortable enough to invest in Snowflake's stock. The Slootman interview also disclosed that Snowflake's interactions with Berkshire have been through Todd Combs, the CEO of Berkshire holding GEICO. Since Todd Combs also serves as a Berkshire investment manager, he is probably the one directly responsible for the Snowflake investment and not Buffett.</p>\n<p>Salesforce Ventures (NYSE:CRM)&nbsp;also decided to make an investment&nbsp;of more than $500 million in the company at the IPO, as a play on digital transformation and long term cloud adoption. Snowflake's stock soared in the months following its IPO, partially due to investors being interested in the fastest growing of all the fast growing digital transformation plays and partially due to Snowflake receiving the seal of approval from both Berkshire and Salesforce.</p>\n<p>Snowflake finally ended up reached an all time high of $429.00 within the December 8th market session, at which point Snowflake was selling for 245x Sales and was already being called \"The Most Highly Valued Large Cap Company in History\".</p>\n<p>Eventually, due to&nbsp;fears of rising interest rates and inflation, investors began losing enthusiasm for stocks selling at high valuations and nervous investors have since sold Snowflake's stock down to the point where it had reached all time lows of $184.71 per share on May 13. Since, then the stock has risen slightly over 30% and the question now becomes for investors, \"Is Snowflake a buy at current prices, even though, the company still sells for around 85X sales?\"</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/324a101dce1df05ccb338b782dd193d3\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>This article will go through some of the reasons why many investors are still very infatuated with Snowflake and also go through recent earnings, as well as explain why I consider Snowflake a buy for very aggressive investors.</p>\n<p><b>Snowflake CEO Frank Slootman</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake was founded in July 2012 by two former Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) engineers Benoit Dageville and Thierry Cruanes, along with Marcin Żukowski, co-founder of the Dutch start-up Vectorwise. The first CEO of Snowflake was Mike Speiser, a venture capitalist at Sutter Hill Ventures. In June 2014, Snowflake appointed former Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) executive Bob Muglia as CEO, as the company emerged from stealth mode.</p>\n<p>In May 2019, the company decided to change the leadership team again to Frank Slootman, the retired former CEO of ServiceNow (NASDAQ:NOW), who joined Snowflake as its CEO and Michael Scarpelli, the former CFO of ServiceNow who joined Snowflake as CFO.</p>\n<p>In an&nbsp;article Beth Kindig wrote for Forbes&nbsp;near the date of the IPO, she indicated that the change of CEOs from Bob Muglia to Frank Slootman likely occurred because of pressure from private investors that wanted leadership from someone that had a proven track record of showing that they could grow an enterprise tech company very quickly and who also could make a successful profitable exit for investors in an IPO. Investors got that type of CEO in Frank Slootman, who has a type of \"Rockstar\" status among CEOs.</p>\n<blockquote>\n “He’s one of the most impressive, most accomplished, most respected CEOs in enterprise tech,” said Asheem Chandna, a software investor at Greylock Partners, which invested in the first two companies Slootman took public, Data Domain (later acquired by EMC and now part ofDell) and ServiceNow. “He’s a take-no-prisoners leader. He can point at a hill and inspire the entire team to follow him to take the hill.”\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Source:CNBC\n</blockquote>\n<p>Frank Slootman already had a rich history that involved turning around a company called Data Domain, which was detailed in his book “TAPE SUCKS: Inside Data Domain, A Silicon Valley Growth Story”. When Slootman first took over Data Domain in 2003, the company had no customers, no revenues, and was a few months away from bankruptcy. In six years, Slootman grew Data Domain to the point where it was selling more than all of its competitors combined. Slootman then successfully sold the company to EMC (NYSE:DELL) in 2009 for $2.1 billion and the&nbsp;Data Domain product line has been Dell EMC's flagship platform&nbsp;for backup, archive and disaster recovery ever since.</p>\n<p>Two years later, Slootman took over the CEO role of ServiceNow between 2011 to 2017. Part of Slootman's accomplishments at ServiceNow was guiding the company to a 2012 IPO.</p>\n<p>For individuals that think that&nbsp;the role of the CEO is essential for a company's success, Snowflake has perhaps one of the best CEOs in the tech sector and the presence of CEO Frank Slootman alone, should be reason enough to consider Snowflake as an investment.</p>\n<p><b>The Data Cloud</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake is a cloud native company that offers unlimited storage and compute in the cloud in a manner designed to be flexible and convenient for companies. Snowflake was built with the purpose of replacing legacy&nbsp;data warehouses. The Snowflake platform is essentially a complete redesign and reimagining of data warehouse architecture and technology</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f08eef11f814a575de7b02b82c5f49bb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"176\"><span>Source:Snowflake Presentation titled \"A Detailed View Inside Snowflake\"</span></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The problem with how many companies handle data today, is that they have what is known as a&nbsp;siloed data&nbsp;problem. Siloed data simply means that the same information is often stored in different databases, leading to inconsistencies between data located in different parts of the company. Siloed data also often makes it difficult to join data to gain new insights or have the ability to act quickly on any new data.</p>\n<p>Snowflake gives company's the ability to join all of their data together and eliminate discrepancies between data from different sources, and reduce&nbsp;data latency. With joined data and reduced data latency, comes the ability for companies to use new incoming data quickly and this is a huge driver for Snowflake's business. When companies become Snowflake customers, they often find that what used to take hours or days to go through data now only takes minutes.</p>\n<p>With Snowflake's innovations, data is now moving from an era of simply informing people to driving operations right as the information signals come in with very little latency. No more will important business decisions be done with only anecdotal observation. Business decisions will increasingly be data driven. That is what digital transformation actually means for a business.</p>\n<p>Every business, in order to survive will eventually have to digitally transform and Snowflake is becoming an essential building block for digital transformation. The&nbsp;<b>Data Cloud</b>is the building block of digital transformation and Snowflake is evolving to become the largest independent&nbsp;<b>Data Cloud</b>.</p>\n<p><b>Data Sharing</b></p>\n<p>Anyone that has a Snowflake account is capable of sharing data. Data sharing is about to become an additional important business for Snowflake. Snowflake has already built a Data Marketplace and is on the verge of starting to really monetize it. Just recently,Snowflake announced&nbsp;that it was accelerating data collaboration with more than 500 Listings in the Snowflake Data Marketplace.</p>\n<p>Business will be able to search for what data is being offered on the Data Marketplace with some of the data offers being for free and some data offers for pay. The Snowflake management team expects that in the future, data networking will become frictionless and that today, we are on the beginning edges of a true data exchange network application.</p>\n<p>Snowflake expects data sharing to become a big part of their business moving forward and eventually a big part of any future moat because data sharing can translate into powerful&nbsp;network effects, in that the more businesses use the data sharing through Snowflake's market, the more valuable the Snowflake Data Market will become.</p>\n<p><b>Snowflake Architecture</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4f8ac65aba89c4df78926d8b9684c24d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"363\"><span>Source:Snowflake Presentationtitled \"A Detailed View Inside Snowflake\"</span></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8494b11b7683d8c1c9aa35501c234e01\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"439\"><span>Source:Snowflake User Guide</span></p>\n<p>Snowflake’s novel design consists of three components:</p>\n<ol>\n <li><b>Storage</b>: the persistent storage layer for data stored on Snowflake</li>\n <li><b>Compute</b>: a collection of independent compute resources that execute data processing tasks required for queries. Snowflake also describes this compute as virtual warehouses.</li>\n <li><b>Services</b>: a collection of system services that handle infrastructure, security, metadata, and optimization across the entire Snowflake system</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Snowflake has a decoupled architecture that allows for compute and storage to scale separately. The database storage can be provided from any cloud provider that the customer chooses.</p>\n<p>Query processing or compute takes place in what Snowflake calls virtual warehouses. To simplify things for people that are not data experts, a&nbsp;<b>query</b>&nbsp;is a request for data&nbsp;or information from a database table or combination of tables. Query processing is simply using the compute resources to perform a search for data.</p>\n<p>Snowflake uses massively parallel processing or MPP, in the compute/virtual warehouse setup to process queries.Massively parallel processing&nbsp;is a form of collaborative processing of the same program by two or more processors or in this case virtual warehouses. The advantage of using MPP in the virtual warehouse setup is that the virtual warehouses can access the storage layer independently so as not to compete for compute power.</p>\n<p>Snowflake's virtual warehouses have the ability to access any of the databases in the database storage layer to which they have been granted access, and these virtual warehouses can be created, resized and deleted dynamically as resource needs change. When virtual warehouses execute queries, they transparently and automatically cache data from the database storage layer. Snowflake has the advantage of being able to dynamically bring together the storage, compute and services layers, delivering exactly the resources needed exactly when they are needed, meaning that under a multitude of different usage scenarios, Snowflake is able to dynamically create the right balance of IO, memory, CPU, etc.</p>\n<p>Traditional data warehouse, on the other hand, will often tightly couple the storage, compute, and database services. The disadvantage of doing this is there are performance limitations as the number of workloads and users increase, meaning such a configuration is not very scalable.</p>\n<p>Snowflake's competitors, such as Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) Redshift, for instance, can be disadvantaged when having the compute and storage so tightly coupled, because more often than not more time must be spent manually reconfiguring things, which is a disadvantage.</p>\n<p>One of Snowflake’s&nbsp;unique value propositions&nbsp;is the company’s relatively flexible business model compared to its peers. Snowflake touts this ability on its website:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “Whether you’re a business or technology professional, get the performance, flexibility, and near-infinite scalability to easily load, integrate, analyze and securely share your data.”\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Source:Snowflake\n</blockquote>\n<p>Snowflake's virtual data warehouse setup where workloads share the same data but can run independently, makes it easier for customers to run smaller workloads. Snowflake management calls this the ability to scale down. When a company joins Snowflake, it does not require a big upfront commitment like it might with other companies. Snowflake allows customers to fully customize their services with an ability to scale down to whatever level is needed. Companies only have to pay for the services they need, instead of having to pay for big bulked up packages containing unnecessary services.</p>\n<p>Snowflake’s competitors, on the other hand, often combine compute, storage and services, then require customers to size and pay based on the largest workload, which can make some data warehouses completely unaffordable or inefficient for some companies.</p>\n<p>Snowflake's documentation&nbsp;claims that the Snowflake data platform is not built on any existing database technology or “big data” software platforms such as&nbsp;Hadoop. Instead, Snowflake combines a completely new SQL query engine with an innovative database architecture natively designed for the cloud. This database and query engine helps Snowflake perform faster queries with fewer errors and costs over competitors.</p>\n<p>I don't want this explanation to get too technical for those not familiar with databases, storage or how the cloud works, so for those that want a more technical explanation of Snowflake's architecture, they can read Snowflake's&nbsp;documentation. or read a&nbsp;Snowflake Presentation&nbsp;titled \"A Detailed View Inside Snowflake\".</p>\n<p><b>C3 AI and Snowflake Partner</b></p>\n<p>Before going through earnings, I wanted to highlight&nbsp;some very recent news&nbsp;of a new collaboration between C3.ai (NYSE:AI) and Snowflake. C3 AI is an enterprise AI software provider that provides a suite that provides comprehensive services to build enterprise-scale AI applications more efficiently and cost-effectively than alternative approaches.</p>\n<p>This partnership will give companies that currently use Snowflake access to the C3 AI® Suite and pre-built C3 AI applications that include a range of industries and enterprise AI use cases, including AI-based CRM, predictive maintenance, supply network optimization, and fraud detection.</p>\n<blockquote>\n C3.ai's chief product officer, Houman Behzadi, said the partnership \"will create significant time and operational efficiencies for Snowflake's customers and solidify Snowflake as the operational data platform of choice for enterprise AI applications.\"\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Source: C3.ai's chief product officer, Houman Behzadi -ZDNet\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>Snowflake Q1 FY 2022 Earnings</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake's Q1 FY 2022 remaining performance obligations or RPO was $1.4 billion, representing 206% year-over-year growth. The RPO results reflected more multimillion-dollar relationships with particular strength in the telecom and technology sectors. Of the $1.4 billion in RPO, Snowflake expects approximately 54% to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months.</p>\n<p>Snowflake defines RPO in its&nbsp;earnings press release&nbsp;as the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been recognized, including both deferred revenue and non-cancelable contracted amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods.</p>\n<p>RPO excludes performance obligations from on-demand arrangements and certain time and materials contracts that are billed in arrears.<b>RPO is not necessarily indicative of future product revenue growth because it does not account for the timing of customers’ consumption or their consumption of more than their contracted capacity</b>.</p>\n<p>At the end of Q1, Snowflake had 4,532 total customers. The total number reflects the addition of 393 net new customers in Q1, including three seven-figure new customers. Several of these customer wins might be recognizable names to investors that include Datadog (NASDAQ:DDOG) and Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ:WBA) and Equifax (NYSE:EFX).</p>\n<p>Snowflake management has stated that they have a strong interest in penetrating more of the largest enterprises globally because they provide the largest opportunity for account expansion. On that note, Snowflake now has 104 customers with trailing 12-month product revenue greater than $1 million, up from 77 last quarter. CFO Michael Scarpelli had some interesting things to say about Snowflake expanding with large customers that shows why the company's products are gaining fans among large enterprises</p>\n<blockquote>\n When we expand within our largest customers, we typically replace more than one solution. In many cases, we replace on-premise and first-generation cloud solutions, and we address new workloads.\n <b>Snowflake creates use cases that were previously impossible</b>. This is what fuels our 168% net revenue retention rate, and we remain confident that our net revenue retention will stay above 160% for the fiscal year.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Source: CFO Michael Scarpelli -Snowflake Q1 FY2022 Earnings Call\n</blockquote>\n<p>Snowflake's&nbsp;net revenue retention rate of 168% is probably the best&nbsp;number in the SaaS world. Snowflake calculates their net retention number by first specifying a measurement period consisting of the trailing two years from the current period end. Next, Snowflake defines the measurement cohort as the population of customers under capacity contracts that used the platform at any point in the first month of the first year of the measurement period. The net revenue retention is then defined as the quotient obtained by dividing the product revenue from the cohort in the second year of the measurement period by the product revenue from this cohort in the first year of the measurement period.</p>\n<p>So a net retention rate of 168% means that the customer cohort that spent $100 on average in the first year of the measurement period on the Snowflake platform is spending on average $168 in the second year of the measurement period.. Any customer in the cohort that did not use the platform in the second year remains in the calculation and simply contributes zero product revenue in the second year.</p>\n<p>Snowflake grew product and total revenues grew 110% year over year to $229 million. Product revenue grew to $214 million, reflecting strength in Snowflake consumption. Product revenue is a key metric for Snowflake because revenue is recognized based on platform consumption, which is inherently variable at the customers discretion, and not based on the amount and duration of contract terms. Professional services and other revenue was 15 million.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b09f8c93a8df1f1ad6663d3c88240f18\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>As explained in Snowflake's&nbsp;Q1 FY2022 earnings release, product revenue primarily includes compute, storage, and data transfer resources, which are consumed by customers on Snowflake's platform as a single, integrated offering. Snowflake customers have the ability to consume more than their contracted capacity during the contract term and may have the ability to roll over unused capacity to future periods, generally on the purchase of additional capacity at renewal.</p>\n<p>Snowflake's consumption-based business model distinguishes the company from subscription-based SaaS companies that generally recognize revenue ratably over the contract term and may not permit rollover of services. Because customers have flexibility in the timing of their consumption, which can exceed their contracted capacity or extend beyond the original contract term in many cases, Snowflake believes that the amount of product revenue recognized in a given period is an important indicator of customer satisfaction and the value derived from the platform.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cbf138441130b474d888f2b8c3b6a14d\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Snowflake's Cost of Sales was $97.35 million. Snowflake's overall Gross Profit rose 98.6% to $131.57 million. Overall Gross Margins were 57.47% and on a non-GAAP basis, Snowflake's<b>product</b>gross margin was 72%, up from 66% in the comparable quarter last year<b>.</b></p>\n<p>Favorable cloud service agreements, growing scale across different regions and Snowflake's enterprise customer's success all contributed to steady product gross margin improvements. Management also indicated during the earnings call that in the long term, the product gross margin number could trend upward into the mid 70’s with the help of improved data storage economics. The recent changes to Snowflake’s storage representation of data have resulted in better data compression and reduced storage costs, which help the gross margin.</p>\n<blockquote>\n And the way it [Data Compression] improves margin is because storage becomes more efficient. Storage is a smaller component of the overall mix of the revenue, and compute is the real value of our software that drives more margin. And I will say we did roll this out in April, and you do see some of that coming into an impact on last quarter. But we did say at our IPO, if you remember, we thought we could get to the mid-70s [in product gross margins]. That might feel very good that we'll get to the mid-70s. It's going to take some time.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Source: CFO Michael Scarpelli -Snowflake Q1 FY2022 Earnings Call\n</blockquote>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/529eb97bb77469e322f930569f856186\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Total Operating Expenditures were $337.16 Million.

Some analysts like Patrick Colville of Deutsche Bank think&nbsp;guidance is conservative&nbsp;because it implies that Snowflake would only capture about 12% of the $86B data warehouse market estimated for FY29.</p>\n<p>That all goes to show that there are already enormous growth expectations built into this stock because $10 billion in product revenue by the end of 2028 is a fairly ambitious goal.</p>\n<p>One other interesting part of the presentation was that the CFO raised the total addressable market for Snowflake to $90 billion, up from the $81 billion used for the roadshow for the IPO.</p>\n<p><b>Competitors</b></p>\n<p>In addition to database warehouses Druid and Dremio, Snowflake's strongest competitors appear to be the big data warehouse systems from the major cloud players like Amazon's Redshift, Microsoft Azure's Synapse, and Google's Big Query.</p>\n<p>Amazon, Microsoft and Google are all choosing to compete against Snowflake's new ideas in database warehouses by using the time honored tactic of trying to copy as many of Snowflake's features as possible..</p>\n<p>The advantage that Snowflake has over Amazon, Microsoft and Google in those companies trying to play copycat is that those database warehouses don't scale as well across different data sources (namely competing cloud storage services) and the major cloud players are not fully independent database warehouse providers, meaning that in the end, Amazon, Microsoft and Google are trying to lock customers in to as many of their bundled cloud services as possible. Snowflake doesn't care what cloud service a customer uses for services like storage, as Snowflake is truly neutral in the cloud wars, which is very desirable in a&nbsp;multi-cloud world.</p>\n<p>Of all the competitors, Google Big Query is currently the closest competitor to what Snowflake is doing as it also separates storage and compute. The biggest differences between Snowflake and BigQuery comes down to&nbsp;pricing and performance. Beth Kindig, in her article about Snowflake said this about Snowflake vs Big Query:</p>\n<blockquote>\n When it comes to deciding between BigQuery and Snowflake, it can come down to what you do with the database due to pricing structure differences. For instance, Snowflake is a better choice for concurrent users and business intelligence. It’s also a great choice for data-as-a-service, where you might give client access to your data in the form of analytics. BigQuery is perhaps a better choice for ad hoc reporting, where you have occasional complex reports on a quarterly basis or recommendation models and machine learning that require high idle time. Again, these examples are mainly due to pricing structure.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Source: Beth Kindig -Forbes article\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>Risks</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake has significant valuation risk, even with the pullback in the stock price from its highs in December. For Snowflake to expand its valuation any further, it is going to require the company to continue posting outstanding growth numbers.</p>\n<p>Secondarily, Snowflake currently only offers their platform on the public clouds provided by AWS, Azure, and GCP, which are also some of the company's primary competitors. Currently, a substantial majority of Snowflake's business is run on the AWS public cloud.</p>\n<p>So, while Snowflake has some competitive advantages over a cloud giant like AWS, there is a risk that AWS or one of the other cloud giants could use the control of their public cloud to embed innovations for competing offerings to Snowflake or bundle competing products together with other cloud services or leverage their public cloud customer relationships to exclude Snowflake from opportunities. The reason why this risk might not play out in the cloud giants favor is that it appears companies are&nbsp;favoring multi-cloud approaches&nbsp;and have little desire in being locked into only one cloud by a bundled product. That is where Snowflake's Switzerland neutral status in the cloud wars provides some protection but not total protection from this risk.</p>\n<p>On another note, though, because the three major cloud players also provides much of the infrastructure for Snowflake's business model, in the future it is completely possible that Snowflake could face the risk of unfavorable pricing for the use of the underlying cloud infrastructure, which could hurt Snowflake's margins.</p>\n<p>Snowflake could also undergo pricing pressure on the services offered to customers, as a company like Amazon could do something like offer discount pricing for competing services to customers and that scenario could also threaten Snowflake's margins over the longer term. Amazon has been known to use that strategy in other areas of their business in the past.</p>\n<p>Another risk is regulatory. Snowflake must comply with evolving privacy and other data related laws. The requirements for following those laws could be expensive and force the company to make adverse changes to the business, with failure to comply with such laws not being much of an option. Examples of these types of laws are General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).</p>\n<p><b>Valuation</b></p>\n<table>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Company</td>\n   <td>Mkt Cap</td>\n   <td><p>Price/Sales</p></td>\n   <td>Free Cash Flow Margin %</td>\n   <td>EV/Revenues (FWD)</td>\n   <td>Revenue Growth (Y/Y) %</td>\n   <td>Gross Margins %</td>\n   <td>Revenues</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Salesforce</p><p>(CRM)</p></td>\n   <td>$222.53B</td>\n   <td>10.30</td>\n   <td>51.27%</td>\n   <td>8.1</td>\n   <td>22.57%</td>\n   <td>73.92%</td>\n   <td>5.96B</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Snowflake (SNOW)</td>\n   <td>$71.25B</td>\n   <td>87.93</td>\n   <td>1.09%</td>\n   <td>60.4</td>\n   <td>110.4%</td>\n   <td>57.47%</td>\n   <td>228.9M</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Okta (OKTA)</td>\n   <td>$34.63B</td>\n   <td>32.59</td>\n   <td>20.99%</td>\n   <td>27.6</td>\n   <td>37.27%</td>\n   <td>73.66%</td>\n   <td>$251M</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>MongoDB (MDB)</td>\n   <td>$20.76B</td>\n   <td>32.36</td>\n   <td>5.28%</td>\n   <td>26.8</td>\n   <td>39.38%</td>\n   <td>69.98%</td>\n   <td>$181.7M</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Teradata (TDC)</td>\n   <td>$5.23B</td>\n   <td>2.76</td>\n   <td>21.38%</td>\n   <td>2.7</td>\n   <td>13.13%</td>\n   <td>62.53%</td>\n   <td>491M</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Two things are very obvious about the above company comparisons. One is that Snowflake, even with substantial pullback from its all time highs in December is very highly valued on a Price to Sales basis. Second, is that Snowflake was still growing triple digits in the latest quarter, which is pretty amazing.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, investors were not impressed by the guidance given during earnings, nor were they impressed by Snowflake's long term projections given during their recent Investor Day. One thing is for sure, for investors to bid Snowflake's stock up further, the company will have to keep producingmind boggling growth numbers.</p>\n<p>The following is based on 26 Wall Street analysts offering 12-month price targets for Snowflake in the last 3 months. The average price target is $292.12 with a high forecast of $515.00 and a low forecast of $240.60. The average price target represents a 21.41% from the last price of $240.60.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/007fe75a78c7835e52d8edf8bc7f6bed\" tg-width=\"499\" tg-height=\"405\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake is a stock that has very high expectations built into the stock price. The latest earnings and guidance, plus the latest investor day were not enough to get investors excited about pushing the value of the stock much further than it is now.</p>\n<p>However, I think that with a company like Snowflake, one has to take a much longer view than simply looking at one quarter's metrics. I believe it is appropriate to take at least a five year view with this company to see that the future is likely very bright. I believe Snowflake is being very conservative with their long term projections given during Investor Day and if that should prove to be the case, we all might look back several years from now and see with the benefit of hindsight that the stock was actually undervalued.</p>\n<p>I believe that the idea of a Data Cloud and a Data Marketplace are very, very early in the product life cycle and that Snowflake is at the beginning of a strong run of customer and revenue growth over the next several years. Snowflake is a buy but only for&nbsp;<b>veryaggressive investors</b>&nbsp;because there is already a lot of growth embedded in Snowflake's valuation and if the company fails to produce that expected growth, then the stock could drop rapidly.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Snowflake was at the time of its IPO, a unprofitable software company, which is why it was interesting that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) , which normally eschews investing in software or cloud companies actually wound up investing $735 million or 6.1 million Snowflake shares at the $120 IPO price.\nOn September 18, 2020, CEO Frank Slootman,in an interview, disclosed that Berkshire's insurance unit has been using Snowflake's services for quite awhile and that might be part of the reason that Berkshire was comfortable enough to invest in Snowflake's stock. The Slootman interview also disclosed that Snowflake's interactions with Berkshire have been through Todd Combs, the CEO of Berkshire holding GEICO. Since Todd Combs also serves as a Berkshire investment manager, he is probably the one directly responsible for the Snowflake investment and not Buffett.\nSalesforce Ventures (NYSE:CRM) also decided to make an investment of more than $500 million in the company at the IPO, as a play on digital transformation and long term cloud adoption. Snowflake's stock soared in the months following its IPO, partially due to investors being interested in the fastest growing of all the fast growing digital transformation plays and partially due to Snowflake receiving the seal of approval from both Berkshire and Salesforce.\nSnowflake finally ended up reached an all time high of $429.00 within the December 8th market session, at which point Snowflake was selling for 245x Sales and was already being called \"The Most Highly Valued Large Cap Company in History\".\nEventually, due to fears of rising interest rates and inflation, investors began losing enthusiasm for stocks selling at high valuations and nervous investors have since sold Snowflake's stock down to the point where it had reached all time lows of $184.71 per share on May 13. Since, then the stock has risen slightly over 30% and the question now becomes for investors, \"Is Snowflake a buy at current prices, even though, the company still sells for around 85X sales?\"\nData by YCharts\nThis article will go through some of the reasons why many investors are still very infatuated with Snowflake and also go through recent earnings, as well as explain why I consider Snowflake a buy for very aggressive investors.\nSnowflake CEO Frank Slootman\nSnowflake was founded in July 2012 by two former Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) engineers Benoit Dageville and Thierry Cruanes, along with Marcin Żukowski, co-founder of the Dutch start-up Vectorwise. The first CEO of Snowflake was Mike Speiser, a venture capitalist at Sutter Hill Ventures. In June 2014, Snowflake appointed former Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) executive Bob Muglia as CEO, as the company emerged from stealth mode.\nIn May 2019, the company decided to change the leadership team again to Frank Slootman, the retired former CEO of ServiceNow (NASDAQ:NOW), who joined Snowflake as its CEO and Michael Scarpelli, the former CFO of ServiceNow who joined Snowflake as CFO.\nIn an article Beth Kindig wrote for Forbes near the date of the IPO, she indicated that the change of CEOs from Bob Muglia to Frank Slootman likely occurred because of pressure from private investors that wanted leadership from someone that had a proven track record of showing that they could grow an enterprise tech company very quickly and who also could make a successful profitable exit for investors in an IPO. Investors got that type of CEO in Frank Slootman, who has a type of \"Rockstar\" status among CEOs.\n\n “He’s one of the most impressive, most accomplished, most respected CEOs in enterprise tech,” said Asheem Chandna, a software investor at Greylock Partners, which invested in the first two companies Slootman took public, Data Domain (later acquired by EMC and now part ofDell) and ServiceNow. “He’s a take-no-prisoners leader. He can point at a hill and inspire the entire team to follow him to take the hill.”\n\n\n Source:CNBC\n\nFrank Slootman already had a rich history that involved turning around a company called Data Domain, which was detailed in his book “TAPE SUCKS: Inside Data Domain, A Silicon Valley Growth Story”. When Slootman first took over Data Domain in 2003, the company had no customers, no revenues, and was a few months away from bankruptcy. In six years, Slootman grew Data Domain to the point where it was selling more than all of its competitors combined. Slootman then successfully sold the company to EMC (NYSE:DELL) in 2009 for $2.1 billion and the Data Domain product line has been Dell EMC's flagship platform for backup, archive and disaster recovery ever since.\nTwo years later, Slootman took over the CEO role of ServiceNow between 2011 to 2017. Part of Slootman's accomplishments at ServiceNow was guiding the company to a 2012 IPO.\nFor individuals that think that the role of the CEO is essential for a company's success, Snowflake has perhaps one of the best CEOs in the tech sector and the presence of CEO Frank Slootman alone, should be reason enough to consider Snowflake as an investment.\nThe Data Cloud\nSnowflake is a cloud native company that offers unlimited storage and compute in the cloud in a manner designed to be flexible and convenient for companies. Snowflake was built with the purpose of replacing legacy data warehouses. The Snowflake platform is essentially a complete redesign and reimagining of data warehouse architecture and technology\nSource:Snowflake Presentation titled \"A Detailed View Inside Snowflake\"\n\nThe problem with how many companies handle data today, is that they have what is known as a siloed data problem. Siloed data simply means that the same information is often stored in different databases, leading to inconsistencies between data located in different parts of the company. Siloed data also often makes it difficult to join data to gain new insights or have the ability to act quickly on any new data.\nSnowflake gives company's the ability to join all of their data together and eliminate discrepancies between data from different sources, and reduce data latency. With joined data and reduced data latency, comes the ability for companies to use new incoming data quickly and this is a huge driver for Snowflake's business. When companies become Snowflake customers, they often find that what used to take hours or days to go through data now only takes minutes.\nWith Snowflake's innovations, data is now moving from an era of simply informing people to driving operations right as the information signals come in with very little latency. No more will important business decisions be done with only anecdotal observation. Business decisions will increasingly be data driven. That is what digital transformation actually means for a business.\nEvery business, in order to survive will eventually have to digitally transform and Snowflake is becoming an essential building block for digital transformation. The Data Cloudis the building block of digital transformation and Snowflake is evolving to become the largest independent Data Cloud.\nData Sharing\nAnyone that has a Snowflake account is capable of sharing data. Data sharing is about to become an additional important business for Snowflake. Snowflake has already built a Data Marketplace and is on the verge of starting to really monetize it. Just recently,Snowflake announced that it was accelerating data collaboration with more than 500 Listings in the Snowflake Data Marketplace.\nBusiness will be able to search for what data is being offered on the Data Marketplace with some of the data offers being for free and some data offers for pay. The Snowflake management team expects that in the future, data networking will become frictionless and that today, we are on the beginning edges of a true data exchange network application.\nSnowflake expects data sharing to become a big part of their business moving forward and eventually a big part of any future moat because data sharing can translate into powerful network effects, in that the more businesses use the data sharing through Snowflake's market, the more valuable the Snowflake Data Market will become.\nSnowflake Architecture\nSource:Snowflake Presentationtitled \"A Detailed View Inside Snowflake\"\nSource:Snowflake User Guide\nSnowflake’s novel design consists of three components:\n\nStorage: the persistent storage layer for data stored on Snowflake\nCompute: a collection of independent compute resources that execute data processing tasks required for queries. Snowflake also describes this compute as virtual warehouses.\nServices: a collection of system services that handle infrastructure, security, metadata, and optimization across the entire Snowflake system\n\nSnowflake has a decoupled architecture that allows for compute and storage to scale separately. The database storage can be provided from any cloud provider that the customer chooses.\nQuery processing or compute takes place in what Snowflake calls virtual warehouses. To simplify things for people that are not data experts, a query is a request for data or information from a database table or combination of tables. Query processing is simply using the compute resources to perform a search for data.\nSnowflake uses massively parallel processing or MPP, in the compute/virtual warehouse setup to process queries.Massively parallel processing is a form of collaborative processing of the same program by two or more processors or in this case virtual warehouses. The advantage of using MPP in the virtual warehouse setup is that the virtual warehouses can access the storage layer independently so as not to compete for compute power.\nSnowflake's virtual warehouses have the ability to access any of the databases in the database storage layer to which they have been granted access, and these virtual warehouses can be created, resized and deleted dynamically as resource needs change. When virtual warehouses execute queries, they transparently and automatically cache data from the database storage layer. Snowflake has the advantage of being able to dynamically bring together the storage, compute and services layers, delivering exactly the resources needed exactly when they are needed, meaning that under a multitude of different usage scenarios, Snowflake is able to dynamically create the right balance of IO, memory, CPU, etc.\nTraditional data warehouse, on the other hand, will often tightly couple the storage, compute, and database services. The disadvantage of doing this is there are performance limitations as the number of workloads and users increase, meaning such a configuration is not very scalable.\nSnowflake's competitors, such as Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) Redshift, for instance, can be disadvantaged when having the compute and storage so tightly coupled, because more often than not more time must be spent manually reconfiguring things, which is a disadvantage.\nOne of Snowflake’s unique value propositions is the company’s relatively flexible business model compared to its peers. Snowflake touts this ability on its website:\n\n “Whether you’re a business or technology professional, get the performance, flexibility, and near-infinite scalability to easily load, integrate, analyze and securely share your data.”\n\n\n Source:Snowflake\n\nSnowflake's virtual data warehouse setup where workloads share the same data but can run independently, makes it easier for customers to run smaller workloads. Snowflake management calls this the ability to scale down. When a company joins Snowflake, it does not require a big upfront commitment like it might with other companies. Snowflake allows customers to fully customize their services with an ability to scale down to whatever level is needed. Companies only have to pay for the services they need, instead of having to pay for big bulked up packages containing unnecessary services.\nSnowflake’s competitors, on the other hand, often combine compute, storage and services, then require customers to size and pay based on the largest workload, which can make some data warehouses completely unaffordable or inefficient for some companies.\nSnowflake's documentation claims that the Snowflake data platform is not built on any existing database technology or “big data” software platforms such as Hadoop. Instead, Snowflake combines a completely new SQL query engine with an innovative database architecture natively designed for the cloud. This database and query engine helps Snowflake perform faster queries with fewer errors and costs over competitors.\nI don't want this explanation to get too technical for those not familiar with databases, storage or how the cloud works, so for those that want a more technical explanation of Snowflake's architecture, they can read Snowflake's documentation. or read a Snowflake Presentation titled \"A Detailed View Inside Snowflake\".\nC3 AI and Snowflake Partner\nBefore going through earnings, I wanted to highlight some very recent news of a new collaboration between C3.ai (NYSE:AI) and Snowflake. C3 AI is an enterprise AI software provider that provides a suite that provides comprehensive services to build enterprise-scale AI applications more efficiently and cost-effectively than alternative approaches.\nThis partnership will give companies that currently use Snowflake access to the C3 AI® Suite and pre-built C3 AI applications that include a range of industries and enterprise AI use cases, including AI-based CRM, predictive maintenance, supply network optimization, and fraud detection.\n\n C3.ai's chief product officer, Houman Behzadi, said the partnership \"will create significant time and operational efficiencies for Snowflake's customers and solidify Snowflake as the operational data platform of choice for enterprise AI applications.\"\n\n\n Source: C3.ai's chief product officer, Houman Behzadi -ZDNet\n\nSnowflake Q1 FY 2022 Earnings\nSnowflake's Q1 FY 2022 remaining performance obligations or RPO was $1.4 billion, representing 206% year-over-year growth. The RPO results reflected more multimillion-dollar relationships with particular strength in the telecom and technology sectors. Of the $1.4 billion in RPO, Snowflake expects approximately 54% to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months.\nSnowflake defines RPO in its earnings press release as the amount of contracted future revenue that has not yet been recognized, including both deferred revenue and non-cancelable contracted amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods.\nRPO excludes performance obligations from on-demand arrangements and certain time and materials contracts that are billed in arrears.RPO is not necessarily indicative of future product revenue growth because it does not account for the timing of customers’ consumption or their consumption of more than their contracted capacity.\nAt the end of Q1, Snowflake had 4,532 total customers. The total number reflects the addition of 393 net new customers in Q1, including three seven-figure new customers. Several of these customer wins might be recognizable names to investors that include Datadog (NASDAQ:DDOG) and Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ:WBA) and Equifax (NYSE:EFX).\nSnowflake management has stated that they have a strong interest in penetrating more of the largest enterprises globally because they provide the largest opportunity for account expansion. On that note, Snowflake now has 104 customers with trailing 12-month product revenue greater than $1 million, up from 77 last quarter. CFO Michael Scarpelli had some interesting things to say about Snowflake expanding with large customers that shows why the company's products are gaining fans among large enterprises\n\n When we expand within our largest customers, we typically replace more than one solution. In many cases, we replace on-premise and first-generation cloud solutions, and we address new workloads.\n Snowflake creates use cases that were previously impossible. This is what fuels our 168% net revenue retention rate, and we remain confident that our net revenue retention will stay above 160% for the fiscal year.\n\n\n Source: CFO Michael Scarpelli -Snowflake Q1 FY2022 Earnings Call\n\nSnowflake's net revenue retention rate of 168% is probably the best number in the SaaS world. Snowflake calculates their net retention number by first specifying a measurement period consisting of the trailing two years from the current period end. Next, Snowflake defines the measurement cohort as the population of customers under capacity contracts that used the platform at any point in the first month of the first year of the measurement period. The net revenue retention is then defined as the quotient obtained by dividing the product revenue from the cohort in the second year of the measurement period by the product revenue from this cohort in the first year of the measurement period.\nSo a net retention rate of 168% means that the customer cohort that spent $100 on average in the first year of the measurement period on the Snowflake platform is spending on average $168 in the second year of the measurement period.. Any customer in the cohort that did not use the platform in the second year remains in the calculation and simply contributes zero product revenue in the second year.\nSnowflake grew product and total revenues grew 110% year over year to $229 million. Product revenue grew to $214 million, reflecting strength in Snowflake consumption. Product revenue is a key metric for Snowflake because revenue is recognized based on platform consumption, which is inherently variable at the customers discretion, and not based on the amount and duration of contract terms. Professional services and other revenue was 15 million.\nData by YCharts\nAs explained in Snowflake's Q1 FY2022 earnings release, product revenue primarily includes compute, storage, and data transfer resources, which are consumed by customers on Snowflake's platform as a single, integrated offering. Snowflake customers have the ability to consume more than their contracted capacity during the contract term and may have the ability to roll over unused capacity to future periods, generally on the purchase of additional capacity at renewal.\nSnowflake's consumption-based business model distinguishes the company from subscription-based SaaS companies that generally recognize revenue ratably over the contract term and may not permit rollover of services. Because customers have flexibility in the timing of their consumption, which can exceed their contracted capacity or extend beyond the original contract term in many cases, Snowflake believes that the amount of product revenue recognized in a given period is an important indicator of customer satisfaction and the value derived from the platform.\nData by YCharts\nSnowflake's Cost of Sales was $97.35 million. Snowflake's overall Gross Profit rose 98.6% to $131.57 million. Overall Gross Margins were 57.47% and on a non-GAAP basis, Snowflake'sproductgross margin was 72%, up from 66% in the comparable quarter last year.\nFavorable cloud service agreements, growing scale across different regions and Snowflake's enterprise customer's success all contributed to steady product gross margin improvements. Management also indicated during the earnings call that in the long term, the product gross margin number could trend upward into the mid 70’s with the help of improved data storage economics. The recent changes to Snowflake’s storage representation of data have resulted in better data compression and reduced storage costs, which help the gross margin.\n\n And the way it [Data Compression] improves margin is because storage becomes more efficient. Storage is a smaller component of the overall mix of the revenue, and compute is the real value of our software that drives more margin. And I will say we did roll this out in April, and you do see some of that coming into an impact on last quarter. But we did say at our IPO, if you remember, we thought we could get to the mid-70s [in product gross margins]. That might feel very good that we'll get to the mid-70s. It's going to take some time.\n\n\n Source: CFO Michael Scarpelli -Snowflake Q1 FY2022 Earnings Call\n\nData by YCharts\nTotal Operating Expenditures were $337.16 Million. Snowflake recorded an Operating Loss of $205.60 Million. Product Operating margin was negative 16%, benefiting from revenue outperformance.\nData by YCharts\nSnowflake recorded a net loss of $203.22 Million in Q1. Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted was -$0.70.\nData by YCharts\nAdjusted free cash flow margin was 10% and was positively impacted by strong collections from Q4 bookings and operating margin outperformance. Adjusted free cash flow excludes the $10 million impact of net cash paid or received on both employee and employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock option transactions. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow plus (minus) net cash paid (received) on payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions.\nFree cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities reduced by purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software development costs. Free cash flow was $2.48 million during Q1.\nData by YCharts\nIt is important to remember that Snowflake does experience free cash flow seasonality. In fiscal '21, Q1 and Q4 were the strongest free cash flow quarters, while Q2 was the weakest and this pattern is expected to continue in future periods.\nGuidance\nSnowflake Q2 FY2022 Guidance\nFY 2022 Full Year Guidance\nSource:Snowflake First Quarter of Fiscal 2022 Press Release\nBalance Sheet\nThe company’s balance sheet is healthy, with approximately $3.9 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.\nData by YCharts\nTotal Current Liabilities are $777.00 Million. Quick ratio was 5.27. A good quick ratio is any number greater than 1.0. Snowflake has aDebt To Equity ratioof 0.04.\nData by YCharts\nSnowflake Investor Day\nSnowflake held an Investor Day on June 10th, in which the company revealed plans to reach $10 billion in product revenue by the end of 2028 (FY29), a big rise from fiscal 2021’s $554 million, with a long-term operating margin target of 10%.\nInvestors, however, seem to have wanted even more growth as the stock opened around 4% lower the next day. Some analysts like Patrick Colville of Deutsche Bank think guidance is conservative because it implies that Snowflake would only capture about 12% of the $86B data warehouse market estimated for FY29.\nThat all goes to show that there are already enormous growth expectations built into this stock because $10 billion in product revenue by the end of 2028 is a fairly ambitious goal.\nOne other interesting part of the presentation was that the CFO raised the total addressable market for Snowflake to $90 billion, up from the $81 billion used for the roadshow for the IPO.\nCompetitors\nIn addition to database warehouses Druid and Dremio, Snowflake's strongest competitors appear to be the big data warehouse systems from the major cloud players like Amazon's Redshift, Microsoft Azure's Synapse, and Google's Big Query.\nAmazon, Microsoft and Google are all choosing to compete against Snowflake's new ideas in database warehouses by using the time honored tactic of trying to copy as many of Snowflake's features as possible..\nThe advantage that Snowflake has over Amazon, Microsoft and Google in those companies trying to play copycat is that those database warehouses don't scale as well across different data sources (namely competing cloud storage services) and the major cloud players are not fully independent database warehouse providers, meaning that in the end, Amazon, Microsoft and Google are trying to lock customers in to as many of their bundled cloud services as possible. Snowflake doesn't care what cloud service a customer uses for services like storage, as Snowflake is truly neutral in the cloud wars, which is very desirable in a multi-cloud world.\nOf all the competitors, Google Big Query is currently the closest competitor to what Snowflake is doing as it also separates storage and compute. The biggest differences between Snowflake and BigQuery comes down to pricing and performance. Beth Kindig, in her article about Snowflake said this about Snowflake vs Big Query:\n\n When it comes to deciding between BigQuery and Snowflake, it can come down to what you do with the database due to pricing structure differences. For instance, Snowflake is a better choice for concurrent users and business intelligence. It’s also a great choice for data-as-a-service, where you might give client access to your data in the form of analytics. BigQuery is perhaps a better choice for ad hoc reporting, where you have occasional complex reports on a quarterly basis or recommendation models and machine learning that require high idle time. Again, these examples are mainly due to pricing structure.\n\n\n Source: Beth Kindig -Forbes article\n\nRisks\nSnowflake has significant valuation risk, even with the pullback in the stock price from its highs in December. For Snowflake to expand its valuation any further, it is going to require the company to continue posting outstanding growth numbers.\nSecondarily, Snowflake currently only offers their platform on the public clouds provided by AWS, Azure, and GCP, which are also some of the company's primary competitors. Currently, a substantial majority of Snowflake's business is run on the AWS public cloud.\nSo, while Snowflake has some competitive advantages over a cloud giant like AWS, there is a risk that AWS or one of the other cloud giants could use the control of their public cloud to embed innovations for competing offerings to Snowflake or bundle competing products together with other cloud services or leverage their public cloud customer relationships to exclude Snowflake from opportunities. The reason why this risk might not play out in the cloud giants favor is that it appears companies are favoring multi-cloud approaches and have little desire in being locked into only one cloud by a bundled product. That is where Snowflake's Switzerland neutral status in the cloud wars provides some protection but not total protection from this risk.\nOn another note, though, because the three major cloud players also provides much of the infrastructure for Snowflake's business model, in the future it is completely possible that Snowflake could face the risk of unfavorable pricing for the use of the underlying cloud infrastructure, which could hurt Snowflake's margins.\nSnowflake could also undergo pricing pressure on the services offered to customers, as a company like Amazon could do something like offer discount pricing for competing services to customers and that scenario could also threaten Snowflake's margins over the longer term. Amazon has been known to use that strategy in other areas of their business in the past.\nAnother risk is regulatory. Snowflake must comply with evolving privacy and other data related laws. The requirements for following those laws could be expensive and force the company to make adverse changes to the business, with failure to comply with such laws not being much of an option. Examples of these types of laws are General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).\nValuation\n\n\n\nCompany\nMkt Cap\nPrice/Sales\nFree Cash Flow Margin %\nEV/Revenues (FWD)\nRevenue Growth (Y/Y) %\nGross Margins %\nRevenues\n\n\nSalesforce(CRM)\n$222.53B\n10.30\n51.27%\n8.1\n22.57%\n73.92%\n5.96B\n\n\nSnowflake (SNOW)\n$71.25B\n87.93\n1.09%\n60.4\n110.4%\n57.47%\n228.9M\n\n\nOkta (OKTA)\n$34.63B\n32.59\n20.99%\n27.6\n37.27%\n73.66%\n$251M\n\n\nMongoDB (MDB)\n$20.76B\n32.36\n5.28%\n26.8\n39.38%\n69.98%\n$181.7M\n\n\nTeradata (TDC)\n$5.23B\n2.76\n21.38%\n2.7\n13.13%\n62.53%\n491M\n\n\n\nTwo things are very obvious about the above company comparisons. One is that Snowflake, even with substantial pullback from its all time highs in December is very highly valued on a Price to Sales basis. Second, is that Snowflake was still growing triple digits in the latest quarter, which is pretty amazing.\nOn the other hand, investors were not impressed by the guidance given during earnings, nor were they impressed by Snowflake's long term projections given during their recent Investor Day. One thing is for sure, for investors to bid Snowflake's stock up further, the company will have to keep producingmind boggling growth numbers.\nThe following is based on 26 Wall Street analysts offering 12-month price targets for Snowflake in the last 3 months. The average price target is $292.12 with a high forecast of $515.00 and a low forecast of $240.60. The average price target represents a 21.41% from the last price of $240.60.\n\nConclusion\nSnowflake is a stock that has very high expectations built into the stock price. The latest earnings and guidance, plus the latest investor day were not enough to get investors excited about pushing the value of the stock much further than it is now.\nHowever, I think that with a company like Snowflake, one has to take a much longer view than simply looking at one quarter's metrics. I believe it is appropriate to take at least a five year view with this company to see that the future is likely very bright. I believe Snowflake is being very conservative with their long term projections given during Investor Day and if that should prove to be the case, we all might look back several years from now and see with the benefit of hindsight that the stock was actually undervalued.\nI believe that the idea of a Data Cloud and a Data Marketplace are very, very early in the product life cycle and that Snowflake is at the beginning of a strong run of customer and revenue growth over the next several years. Snowflake is a buy but only for veryaggressive investors because there is already a lot of growth embedded in Snowflake's valuation and if the company fails to produce that expected growth, then the stock could drop rapidly.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":110,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":161149706,"gmtCreate":1623913580605,"gmtModify":1703823362705,"author":{"id":"3555810485403982","authorId":"3555810485403982","name":"Jo96","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1a8f7e88de203a82e2c93624c556c5ce","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3555810485403982","authorIdStr":"3555810485403982"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"??","listText":"??","text":"??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/161149706","repostId":"1179102147","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1179102147","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1623909842,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1179102147?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-17 14:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Cathie Wood Adds $11M In Roblox On The Dip","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1179102147","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Cathie Wood-led Ark Investment Management on Wednesday snapped up 134,250 shares, estimated to be wo","content":"<p>Cathie Wood-led Ark Investment Management on Wednesday snapped up 134,250 shares, estimated to be worth about $11.09 million, in&nbsp;<b>Roblox Corp</b>(NYSE:RBLX) on the dip.</p>\n<p>Shares of the company closed 8.03% lower at $82.59 on Wednesday after the company reported a decline in users and their spending on the online entertainment platform.</p>\n<p>The company announced Tuesday after-hours that daily active users were 43 million in May, up 28% from the same month&nbsp;last year and down 1% from 43.3 million in April.</p>\n<p>The New York-based investment firm bought the shares of the company via the&nbsp;<b>Ark Next Generation Internet ETF</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:ARKW).
