Market participants will eye Powell's address to see whether or not these prints shift the needle in the Fed's monetary policy projections.\"We expect that as the data come in, the volatility in Fed views will become more pronounced over coming months,\" RBC Capital Markets economists wrote in a note last week.Economic calendarMonday: Markit U.S. Services PMI, March Final (60.2 expected, 60.0 in prior print); Markit U.S. Composite PMI, March Final (59.1 in prior print); ISM Services Index, March (58.7 expected, 55.3 in February); Factory Orders, February (-0.5% expected, 2.6% in January); Durable Goods Orders, February Final (-1.1% expected, -1.1% in prior print); Durable Goods Orders excluding transportation, February final (-0.9% expected, -0.9% in prior print); Non-defense capital goods orders excluding aircraft, February final (-0.8% in prior print); Non-defense capital goods shipments excluding aircraft, February final (-1.0% in prior print)Tuesday: JOLTS Job Openings, February (6.944 million expected, 6.917 million in prior print)Wednesday: MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended April 2 (-2.2% during prior week); Trade Balance, February (-$70.5 billion expected, -$68.2 billion in January); Consumer credit, February ($2.800 billion expected, -$1.315 billion in January) FOMC Meeting Minutes, March MeetingThursday: Initial jobless claims, week ended April 3 (690,000 expected, 719,000 during prior week); Continuing claims, week ended March 27 (3.794 million during prior week)Friday: Producer Price Index, month-over-month, March (0.5% expected, 0.5% in February); Producer Price Index excluding food and energy, month-over-month, March (0.2% expected, 0.2% in February); Producer Price Index, year-over-year, March (3.8% expected, 2.5% in February); Producer Price Index excluding food and energy year-over-year, March (2.7% expected, 2.5% in February); Wholesale inventories, month-over-month, February final (0.5% expected, 0.5% in prior print)Earnings calendarMonday: N/ATuesday: N/AWednesday: N/AThursday: Constellation Brands (STZ) before market openFriday: N/A","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":381,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":349276291,"gmtCreate":1617620635713,"gmtModify":1704700938679,"author":{"id":"3559427160267055","authorId":"3559427160267055","name":"Champu13","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f6277b7f77b4310d811ee73420346d4","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559427160267055","idStr":"3559427160267055"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","listText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","text":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/349276291","repostId":"2125757547","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":180,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":359202242,"gmtCreate":1616400790186,"gmtModify":1704793509941,"author":{"id":"3559427160267055","authorId":"3559427160267055","name":"Champu13","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f6277b7f77b4310d811ee73420346d4","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559427160267055","idStr":"3559427160267055"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/359202242","repostId":"1178841475","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1178841475","pubTimestamp":1616397529,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1178841475?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-22 15:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Zhihu IPO: China's Quora With Surging Sales Growth","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1178841475","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nZhihu is expected to complete its IPO in the next few days.

It plans to raise up to $632.5 million offering 55 million ADSs. The IPO price range is from $9.50 to $11.5 per share. At the midpoint of the IPO price range, the company would be valued at $6.2 billion. At the high end of the IPO price range ($11.5 per share), it would be valued at $6.8 billion. Along with the IPO, Zhihu also plans to raise $250 million in a private placement to Alibaba (BABA), JD.com(NASDAQ:JD), Tencent(OTCPK:TCEHY), and Lilith Games.</p>\n<p>Zhihu has a similar business model as Quora where millions of people ask questions and exchange their views and experiences. Zhihu has become the largest online question and answer community in China.</p>\n<p>In our valuation analysis, we have used the following seven companies below as comps that may be appropriate for Zhihu:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Baidu (BIDU)</li>\n <li>DouYu (DOYU)</li>\n <li>iQIYI (IQ)</li>\n <li>JOYY (YY)</li>\n <li>Weibo Corp. (WB)</li>\n <li>Bilibili (BILI)</li>\n <li>KuaishouTech(OTCPK:KUASF)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Our base case and high case implied market caps of the company are $7.1 billion ($12 per share) and $9.0 billion ($15.2 per share), respectively. We do believe that there will be a first day pop for this IPO and expect its market cap could reach the high end of the valuation sensitivity analysis (market cap of $9.0 billion or $15.2 per share). In the first few days of trading post IPO, we expect the company's market cap to be trading in the mid-to-high end of our valuation analysis ($12 to $15.2 per share). We have a positive view of the Zhihu IPO.</p>\n<p>Our base case valuation assumes our 2022E sales estimate of 3.7 billion RMB ($566 million) and apply an EV/Sales multiple of 10.4x to derive an implied EV of 38.3 billion RMB and an implied market cap of 46.1 billion RMB ($7.1 billion). The EV/Sales multiple of 10.4x is based on a 20% premium to the average of Kuaishou Tech andBilibili'sEV/Sales multiples in 2022.</p>\n<p>We believe the 20% premium to the average of these two companies is appropriate for Zhihu mainly due to the latter company's much higher sales growth. For example, Zhihu's sales increased by 101.7% YoY in 2020. In comparison,Bilibili'ssales increased by 77% YoY and the consensus expects Kuaishou Tech's sales to increase by 50.5% YoY in 2020. The consensus expects Bilibili and Kuaishou Tech's sales to increase by 69.8% YoY and 59.3% YoY, respectively in 2021.</p>\n<p>In comparison, we expect Zhihu's sales to increase by 74.9% in 2021. Despite higher sales growth for Zhihu, Bilibili and Kuaishou Tech have much larger market caps and are closer to achieving positive operating margins. With regards to Zhihu, despite slowing growth rate for its advertising revenues, its Paid Memberships and Content Commerce Revenues are exploding higher and many investors are likely to give higher points on these positive growth factors.</p>\n<table>\n <colgroup></colgroup>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><b>Zhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Analysis</b></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><b>Companies</b></td>\n   <td><b>Mkt Cap (US$ bil)</b></td>\n   <td><b>Sales (US$bil);

From 2020 to 2025, we estimate the company's sales to increase at a CAGR of 43.4%. We have assumed Zhihu to start generating positive operating margins in 2024 (4.8%) and have assumed its operating margin to increase to 10.1% in 2025. We have assumed the company's sales to reach 8.21 billion RMB ($1.26 billion) and operating profit of 0.83 billion RMB ($0.13 billion) in 2025.</p>\n<p><b>Sales Breakdown</b></p>\n<p>Advertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. We estimate advertising as a percentage of revenues to gradually decline in the next five years as it is offset by the faster growing Paid Memberships and Content Commerce Solutions. We estimate advertising as a percentage of sales to decline to 34.1% in 2021 and 22.3% in 2025.</p>\n<p>Paid Memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. We have assumed Paid Membership revenues as a percentage of total revenues to increase to 31.5% in 2021 and 37.8% in 2025.</p>\n<p>Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans. We have assumed Content Commerce Solutions as a percentage of total revenue to jump from 10% in 2020 to 17.8% in 2021 and 32.3% in 2025.</p>\n<p><b>Gross Margins</b></p>\n<p>The company's gross margins improved from 46.6% in 2019 to 56.0% in 2020, driven by an overall improving business scalability. We have assumed further improvements in gross margins to 57.4% in 2021 and 62.3% in 2025.</p>\n<p><b>Total Operating Expenses and Operating Margins</b></p>\n<p>Total operating expenses as a percentage of revenues declined significantly from 204.4% in 2019 to 100.6% in 2020. We expect this ratio to improve further to 79% in 2021, 69.2% in 2022, and 57.2% in 2025. The bulk of the improvements in operating expenses is coming from lower SG&amp;A and R&amp;D expenses as a percentage of revenues in the next five years.</p>\n<table>\n <colgroup></colgroup>\n

creators that contributed 315 million questions and answers. In 4Q 2020, the company had 75.7 million average monthly active users, up 33% YoY. One of the key strengths of the company is that it is recognized as one of the most trustworthy online content communities and regarded as providing one of the highest quality content in China. Zhihu has tried to capitalize on its large user base to provide numerous multimedia functions including live streaming, e-commerce, online education, and other video content.</p>\n<p>In August 2019, Zhihu received $434 million in funding from leading investors including Baidu and Kuaishou Technology, valuing the company at $3.5 billion. Given that the company had $97 million in sales in 2019, this would suggest a P/S valuation multiple of 36x. If we take the same P/S multiple apply to the company's 2020 sales of $207 million, this would suggest an implied valuation of $7.5 billion.</p>\n<p>Zhihu was originally developed as a question and answer online community in 2010. At the end of 2020, there were a total of 315 million Q&amp;As spanning more than 1,000 verticals and 571,000 topics. Zhihu is one of the top five comprehensive online content communities in China, in terms of average mobile MAUs and revenue in 2020. The company uses artificial intelligence, cloud, and big data algorithms to improve the optimization of its content and services.</p>\n<p><b>Major Shareholders of Zhihu</b></p>\n<p>The founder &amp; CEOZhou Yuanowns an 8.2% stake in the company (but 46.6% voting rights). Sinovation Ventures owns a 13.1% stake and Tencent Holdings Ltd. owns a 12.3% stake of Zhihu.</p>\n<p><b>Key Demographics</b></p>\n<p>The diagram below provides some of the key demographics of Zhihu user base. Males accounted for 56.9% of total users. People under 30 years old accounted for 78.7% of its total user base. Tier I and new tier I cities represented 52.6% of total user base. Many of the users of Zhihu are students and white collar professionals.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/524d689472daad1c99491d74dfdbfe24\" tg-width=\"295\" tg-height=\"389\"><span>Source: Author, from Company data</span></p>\n<p><b>Revenue Breakdown</b></p>\n<p>Advertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The company's advertising revenue is mainly driven by its MAUs and advertising revenue per MAU. The company's MAUs increased by 42.7% YoY to 68.5 million in 2020. The company started its online advertising business in 2016 and introduced paid content in 2018.</p>\n<p>Paid memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. Average monthly members jumped by 311.5% YoY to 2.36 million in 2020, which is a testament of an increasing number of customers that value the premium content available on Zhihu.</p>\n<p>In March 2019, the company introduced the Yan Selection membership program, making it the first payment-based questions &amp; answers community. It provides its members with unlimited access to about 3.4 million paid content including online lectures, columns, audio books, and e-journals. This is one of the biggest strengths of the company as it shows how high quality data and content can generate serious amount of revenues and it also provides a more steady monthly revenue inflow.</p>\n<p>Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans, assigning the most relevant content creators to interested users, and facilitating content creation.</p>\n<p>China's content-commerce solution market is expected to be one of the fastest growing sectors in the next several years. According to CIC Consultancy, China's content-commerce solution market is expected to enjoy a strong CAGR growth of 46.4% from 2019 to 2025 (112.3 billion RMB).</p>\n<p><b>Market Opportunities</b></p>\n<p><b>China’s Online Content Communities Market Size</b></p>\n<p>Online content communities refer to UGC (user generated content)-focused (including PUGC (professional user generated content) focused online content market players where content creators are also users, who are actively engaged within the communities. The content communities generally can stimulate higher level of user engagement, more interactive user experience, and enjoy lower content cost, compared to PGC (professionally generated content) players. PGC is content created by the branded company or organization.</p>\n<p>China's online content communities market size increased from 38.6 billion RMB in 2015 to 275.8 billion RMB in 2019 and is further expected to rise to 1.3 trillion RMB in 2025, representing a CAGR of 30.3% from 2019 to 2025, which is higher than the overall online content market growth.</p>\n<p>China's online content community market has more diversified monetization channels including online advertising, paid membership, content e-commerce, content-commerce solutions, virtual gifting in live streaming, online games, and online education services. In comparison, the US online content community's monetization is mainly through advertising.</p>\n<p>One of the major positives about the company is the growing trend of more Chinese consumers that are willing to pay money for higher quality content. The number of paying users in China’s online content communities is expected to increase at a CAGR of 17.1% between 2019 and 2025, which means an increase of 360.4 million extra paying users of online content communities to 588.2 million in 2025.</p>\n<p><b>China's Online Content Market</b></p>\n<p>China's online content market tripled from 2015 to reach 1.2 trillion RMB in 2019.

Although the COVID-19 situation currently is not as dire as a year ago, there are still numerous social distancing measures. In the post COVID-19 environment, this could lead to a slower growth rate of its sales and profit improvement.</li>\n <li>Censorship related risks - Given that Zhihu is one of the largest Q&amp;A websites in China, it is likely to face numerous censorship related issues from the Chinese government and this remains one of the key risk factors.</li>\n <li>Recent share price declines of Chinese tech giants and Chinese tech IPOs in the US - There have been some big declines in share prices of several Chinese tech giants includingAlibaba Group (9988 HK)andTencent Holdings (700 HK). Share prices of other Chinese tech giants such as JD.com and Meituan have also declined in the past few weeks but not as much as Alibaba and Tencent. In addition,Cloopen Group Holding Ltd. (RAAS US),which recently completed its IPO in February saw its share price surge in the first day but it has dropped by more than 50% since then.</li>\n <li>Mostly text-based content platform - For now, most of Zhihu's content tend to be text-based, although the company is offering more video and non-text-based content. For the users that prefer non-text-based content, this could deter some people from becoming paid members or users of Zhihu. However, the company is actively making efforts to provide more videos, live streaming, and other non-text-based content. These efforts to provide a more diversified source of content could result in higher operating costs.</li>\n <li>Lack of profitability - Despite strong sales growth, the company remains unprofitable with an operating margin of -44.6% in 2020.</li>\n</ul>","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>Zhihu IPO: China's Quora With Surging Sales Growth</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\">\nZhihu IPO: China's Quora With Surging Sales Growth\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-22 15:18 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4415306-zhihu-ipo-chinas-quora-with-surging-sales-growth><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nZhihu is expected to complete its IPO in the next few days.

Zhihu is basically China's Quora with surging sales growth.\nZhihu has become the largest online question and answer community in China.\nThe company generated a strong sales growth of 101.7% YoY to reach 1,352.2 million RMB in 2020. Operating margins improved from -157.9% in 2019 to -44.6% in 2020.\nOur base case and high case implied market caps of the company are $7.1 billion ($12 per share) and $9.0 billion ($15.2 per share), respectively.\nIn the first few days of trading post-IPO, we expect the company's market cap to be trading in the mid-to-high end of our valuation analysis ($12 to $15.2 per share). We have a positive view of the Zhihu IPO.\n\nPhoto by aelitta/iStock via Getty Images\nValuation Analysis\nZhihu Technology (ZH) announced its IPO terms. It plans to raise up to $632.5 million offering 55 million ADSs. The IPO price range is from $9.50 to $11.5 per share. At the midpoint of the IPO price range, the company would be valued at $6.2 billion. At the high end of the IPO price range ($11.5 per share), it would be valued at $6.8 billion. Along with the IPO, Zhihu also plans to raise $250 million in a private placement to Alibaba (BABA), JD.com(NASDAQ:JD), Tencent(OTCPK:TCEHY), and Lilith Games.\nZhihu has a similar business model as Quora where millions of people ask questions and exchange their views and experiences. Zhihu has become the largest online question and answer community in China.\nIn our valuation analysis, we have used the following seven companies below as comps that may be appropriate for Zhihu:\n\nBaidu (BIDU)\nDouYu (DOYU)\niQIYI (IQ)\nJOYY (YY)\nWeibo Corp. (WB)\nBilibili (BILI)\nKuaishouTech(OTCPK:KUASF)\n\nOur base case and high case implied market caps of the company are $7.1 billion ($12 per share) and $9.0 billion ($15.2 per share), respectively. We do believe that there will be a first day pop for this IPO and expect its market cap could reach the high end of the valuation sensitivity analysis (market cap of $9.0 billion or $15.2 per share). In the first few days of trading post IPO, we expect the company's market cap to be trading in the mid-to-high end of our valuation analysis ($12 to $15.2 per share). We have a positive view of the Zhihu IPO.\nOur base case valuation assumes our 2022E sales estimate of 3.7 billion RMB ($566 million) and apply an EV/Sales multiple of 10.4x to derive an implied EV of 38.3 billion RMB and an implied market cap of 46.1 billion RMB ($7.1 billion). The EV/Sales multiple of 10.4x is based on a 20% premium to the average of Kuaishou Tech andBilibili'sEV/Sales multiples in 2022.\nWe believe the 20% premium to the average of these two companies is appropriate for Zhihu mainly due to the latter company's much higher sales growth. For example, Zhihu's sales increased by 101.7% YoY in 2020. In comparison,Bilibili'ssales increased by 77% YoY and the consensus expects Kuaishou Tech's sales to increase by 50.5% YoY in 2020. The consensus expects Bilibili and Kuaishou Tech's sales to increase by 69.8% YoY and 59.3% YoY, respectively in 2021.\nIn comparison, we expect Zhihu's sales to increase by 74.9% in 2021. Despite higher sales growth for Zhihu, Bilibili and Kuaishou Tech have much larger market caps and are closer to achieving positive operating margins. With regards to Zhihu, despite slowing growth rate for its advertising revenues, its Paid Memberships and Content Commerce Revenues are exploding higher and many investors are likely to give higher points on these positive growth factors.\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Analysis\n\n\nCompanies\nMkt Cap (US$ bil)\nSales (US$bil); 2019\nSales (US$bil); 2020\nSales (US$bil); 2021E\nSales (US$bil); 2022E\n\n\nBaidu\n86.7\n15.5\n15.5\n19.4\n22.2\n\n\nDouYu\n4.2\n1.1\n1.5\n1.6\n1.9\n\n\niQIYI\n21.9\n4.2\n4.3\n5.0\n5.7\n\n\nJOYY\n9.3\n3.7\n4.0\n4.4\n5.1\n\n\nWeibo\n11.8\n1.8\n1.7\n2.0\n2.2\n\n\nBilibili\n38.4\n1.0\n1.7\n3.0\n4.2\n\n\nKuaishou Tech\n170.5\n5.7\n8.5\n13.6\n19.9\n\n\nSource: Author, from Company data, Yahoo Finance, Marketscreener\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Analysis\n\n\nCompanies\nP/S (2019)\nP/S (2020)\nP/S (2021E)\nP/S (2022E)\n\n\nBaidu\n5.6\n5.6\n4.5\n3.9\n\n\nDouYu\n4.0\n2.9\n2.6\n2.2\n\n\niQIYI\n5.2\n5.1\n4.4\n3.9\n\n\nJOYY\n2.5\n2.4\n2.1\n1.8\n\n\nWeibo\n6.7\n7.1\n5.9\n5.4\n\n\nBilibili\n39.1\n22.1\n13.0\n9.1\n\n\nKuaishou Tech\n30.1\n20.0\n12.6\n8.6\n\n\nAverage\n13.3\n9.3\n6.4\n5.0\n\n\nSource: Author, from Company data, Yahoo Finance, Marketscreener\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Analysis\n\n\n% Sales Change YoY\n2020\n2021E\n2022E\n\n\nBaidu\n-0.1%\n25.2%\n14.2%\n\n\nDouYu\n39.5%\n9.5%\n18.7%\n\n\niQIYI\n2.6%\n16.1%\n13.4%\n\n\nJOYY\n6.6%\n11.4%\n16.4%\n\n\nWeibo\n-5.4%\n19.2%\n10.4%\n\n\nBilibili\n77.4%\n69.8%\n43.1%\n\n\nKuaishou Tech\n50.5%\n59.3%\n46.6%\n\n\nAverage\n24.4%\n30.1%\n23.2%\n\n\nSource: Author, from Company data, Yahoo Finance, Marketscreener\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Analysis\n\n\nCompanies\nOperating Profit/(Loss) (US$bil); 2019\nOperating Profit/(Loss) (US$bil); 2020\nOperating Profit/(Loss) (US$bil); 2021E\nOperating Profit/(Loss) (US$bil); 2022E\n\n\nBaidu\n0.9\n3.2\n3.0\n3.7\n\n\nDouYu\n-0.1\n0.1\n0.0\n0.2\n\n\niQIYI\n-1.3\n-0.9\n-0.7\n-0.2\n\n\nJOYY\n0.4\n0.4\n0.5\n0.6\n\n\nWeibo\n0.6\n0.5\n0.6\n0.7\n\n\nBilibili\n-0.2\n-0.4\n-0.5\n-0.2\n\n\nKuaishou Tech\n0.1\n-1.6\n-1.1\n1.4\n\n\nSource: Author, from Company data, Yahoo Finance, Marketscreener\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Analysis\n\n\nCompanies\nOperating Margin (2019); (%)\nOperating Margin (2020); (%)\nOperating Margin (2021E); (%)\nOperating Margin (2022E); (%)\n\n\nBaidu\n5.9%\n20.3%\n15.6%\n16.7%\n\n\nDouYu\n-6.9%\n6.8%\n1.2%\n8.3%\n\n\niQIYI\n-31.7%\n-20.2%\n-13.2%\n-3.8%\n\n\nJOYY\n10.2%\n9.4%\n10.4%\n12.3%\n\n\nWeibo\n33.9%\n28.6%\n28.1%\n31.0%\n\n\nBilibili\n-21.4%\n-25.9%\n-18.2%\n-4.0%\n\n\nKuaishou Tech\n1.8%\n-18.4%\n-7.9%\n7.1%\n\n\nAverage\n-1.2%\n0.1%\n2.3%\n9.7%\n\n\nSource: Author, from Company data, Yahoo Finance, Marketscreener\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Analysis\n\n\nCompanies\nEV/S (2019)\nEV/S (2020)\nEV/S (2021E)\nEV/S (2022E)\n\n\nBaidu\n4.8\n4.8\n3.8\n3.3\n\n\nDouYu\n2.9\n2.1\n1.9\n1.6\n\n\niQIYI\n5.4\n5.3\n4.6\n4.0\n\n\nJOYY\n1.8\n1.7\n1.5\n1.3\n\n\nWeibo\n6.8\n7.2\n6.0\n5.4\n\n\nBilibili\n38.5\n21.7\n12.8\n8.9\n\n\nKuaishou Tech\n29.5\n19.6\n12.3\n8.4\n\n\nAverage\n12.8\n8.9\n6.1\n4.7\n\n\nSource: Author, from Company data, Yahoo Finance, Marketscreener\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Sensitivity Analysis (Implied EV)\n\n\n(million RMB)\nEV/S;2022E\n\n\nLow\nBase\nHigh\n\n\n9.4\n10.4\n12.5\n\n\nLow\n3,315\n31,030\n34,478\n41,373\n\n\nEstimated sales (million RMB); 2022E\nBase\n3,683\n34,478\n38,308\n45,970\n\n\nHigh\n4,052\n37,925\n42,139\n50,567\n\n\nSource: Our Estimates\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Sensitivity Analysis (Implied Market Cap)\n\n\n(million RMB)\nEV/S; 2022E\n\n\nLow\nBase\nHigh\n\n\n9.4\n10.4\n12.5\n\n\nLow\n3,315\n38,807\n42,255\n49,150\n\n\nEstimated sales (million RMB); 2022E\nBase\n3,683\n42,255\n46,086\n53,747\n\n\nHigh\n4,052\n45,703\n49,917\n58,344\n\n\nSource: Our Estimates\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Sensitivity Analysis (Implied Market Cap)\n\n\n(US$ million)\nEV/S; 2022E\n\n\nLow\nBase\nHigh\n\n\n9.4\n10.4\n12.5\n\n\nLow\n509\n5,961\n6,491\n7,550\n\n\nEstimated sales (million USD); 2022E\nBase\n566\n6,491\n7,079\n8,256\n\n\nHigh\n622\n7,020\n7,668\n8,962\n\n\nSource: Our Estimates\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Sensitivity Analysis (Implied Price Per Share)\n\n\n(US$)\nEV/S; 2022E\n\n\nLow\nBase\nHigh\n\n\n9.4\n10.4\n12.5\n\n\nLow\n509\n10.1\n11.0\n12.8\n\n\nEstimated sales (million USD); 2022E\nBase\n566\n11.0\n12.0\n14.0\n\n\nHigh\n622\n11.9\n13.0\n15.2\n\n\nSource: Our Estimates\n\n\n\nZhihu Income Statement Forecast\nWe estimate the company's sales to increase by 74.9% YoY to reach 2.36 billion RMB in 2021 and increase by 55.8% YoY to reach 3.68 billion RMB in 2022. From 2020 to 2025, we estimate the company's sales to increase at a CAGR of 43.4%. We have assumed Zhihu to start generating positive operating margins in 2024 (4.8%) and have assumed its operating margin to increase to 10.1% in 2025. We have assumed the company's sales to reach 8.21 billion RMB ($1.26 billion) and operating profit of 0.83 billion RMB ($0.13 billion) in 2025.\nSales Breakdown\nAdvertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. We estimate advertising as a percentage of revenues to gradually decline in the next five years as it is offset by the faster growing Paid Memberships and Content Commerce Solutions. We estimate advertising as a percentage of sales to decline to 34.1% in 2021 and 22.3% in 2025.\nPaid Memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. We have assumed Paid Membership revenues as a percentage of total revenues to increase to 31.5% in 2021 and 37.8% in 2025.\nContent Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans. We have assumed Content Commerce Solutions as a percentage of total revenue to jump from 10% in 2020 to 17.8% in 2021 and 32.3% in 2025.\nGross Margins\nThe company's gross margins improved from 46.6% in 2019 to 56.0% in 2020, driven by an overall improving business scalability. We have assumed further improvements in gross margins to 57.4% in 2021 and 62.3% in 2025.\nTotal Operating Expenses and Operating Margins\nTotal operating expenses as a percentage of revenues declined significantly from 204.4% in 2019 to 100.6% in 2020. We expect this ratio to improve further to 79% in 2021, 69.2% in 2022, and 57.2% in 2025. The bulk of the improvements in operating expenses is coming from lower SG&A and R&D expenses as a percentage of revenues in the next five years.\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Income Statement Forecast\n\n\n(RMB mn)\n2019\n2020\n2021E\n2022E\n2023E\n2024E\n2025E\n\n\nRevenue\n670.5\n1,352.2\n2,364.8\n3,683.3\n5,180.8\n6,691.5\n8,212.6\n\n\nAdvertising\n577.4\n843.3\n1,076.2\n1,254.6\n1,441.8\n1,635.4\n1,833.0\n\n\nPaid Membership\n88.0\n320.5\n743.8\n1,333.4\n1,967.6\n2,529.0\n3,106.3\n\n\nContent Commerce Solutions\n0.6\n135.8\n421.0\n863.0\n1,406.7\n2,027.1\n2,652.8\n\n\nOthers\n4.5\n52.7\n123.7\n232.3\n364.8\n500.0\n620.5\n\n\nCost of Revenue\n358.2\n594.4\n1,008.3\n1,523.4\n2,078.5\n2,604.0\n3,100.1\n\n\nGross Profit\n312.3\n757.8\n1,356.5\n2,159.9\n3,102.3\n4,087.4\n5,112.5\n\n\nSG&A Expenses\n766.5\n734.8\n963.7\n1,275.9\n1,525.5\n1,773.2\n1,958.7\n\n\nR&D Expenses\n351.0\n329.8\n490.2\n725.3\n969.2\n1,189.2\n1,386.6\n\n\nG&A Expenses\n253.3\n296.2\n414.3\n548.6\n655.9\n804.7\n938.3\n\n\nTotal Operating Expenses\n1,370.7\n1,360.7\n1,868.3\n2,549.8\n3,150.5\n3,767.2\n4,283.6\n\n\nLoss from Operations\n-1,058.5\n-602.9\n-511.8\n-389.9\n-48.2\n320.2\n828.9\n\n\nNon-Operating Items\n54.3\n86.4\n103.5\n51.8\n31.1\n18.6\n11.2\n\n\nEarnings Before Tax\n-1,004.2\n-516.5\n-408.3\n-338.2\n-17.2\n338.9\n840.1\n\n\nIncome Tax\n0.0\n1.1\n0.0\n0.0\n0.0\n0.0\n0.0\n\n\nNet Loss\n-1,004.2\n-517.6\n-408.3\n-338.2\n-17.2\n338.9\n840.1\n\n\n\n% of Sales\n2019\n2020\n2021E\n2022E\n2023E\n2024E\n2025E\n\n\nRevenue\n100.0%\n100.0%\n100.0%\n100.0%\n100.0%\n100.0%\n100.0%\n\n\nAdvertising\n86.1%\n62.4%\n45.5%\n34.1%\n27.8%\n24.4%\n22.3%\n\n\nPaid Membership\n13.1%\n23.7%\n31.5%\n36.2%\n38.0%\n37.8%\n37.8%\n\n\nContent Commerce Solutions\n0.1%\n10.0%\n17.8%\n23.4%\n27.2%\n30.3%\n32.3%\n\n\nOthers\n0.7%\n3.9%\n5.2%\n6.3%\n7.0%\n7.5%\n7.6%\n\n\nCost of Revenue\n53.4%\n44.0%\n42.6%\n41.4%\n40.1%\n38.9%\n37.7%\n\n\nGross Profit\n46.6%\n56.0%\n57.4%\n58.6%\n59.9%\n61.1%\n62.3%\n\n\nSG&A Expenses\n114.3%\n54.3%\n40.8%\n34.6%\n29.4%\n26.5%\n23.8%\n\n\nR&D Expenses\n52.3%\n24.4%\n20.7%\n19.7%\n18.7%\n17.8%\n16.9%\n\n\nG&A Expenses\n37.8%\n21.9%\n17.5%\n14.9%\n12.7%\n12.0%\n11.4%\n\n\nTotal Operating Expenses\n204.4%\n100.6%\n79.0%\n69.2%\n60.8%\n56.3%\n52.2%\n\n\nLoss from Operations\n-157.9%\n-44.6%\n-21.6%\n-10.6%\n-0.9%\n4.8%\n10.1%\n\n\n\n% Change YoY\n2020\n2021E\n2022E\n2023E\n2024E\n2025E\n\n\nRevenue\n101.7%\n74.9%\n55.8%\n40.7%\n29.2%\n22.7%\n\n\nAdvertising\n46.0%\n27.6%\n16.6%\n14.9%\n13.4%\n12.1%\n\n\nPaid Membership\n264.2%\n132.1%\n79.3%\n47.6%\n28.5%\n22.8%\n\n\nContent Commerce Solutions\n21118.8%\n210.0%\n105.0%\n63.0%\n44.1%\n30.9%\n\n\nOthers\n1081.6%\n135.0%\n87.8%\n57.0%\n37.1%\n24.1%\n\n\nCost of Revenue\n65.9%\n69.6%\n51.1%\n36.4%\n25.3%\n19.1%\n\n\nGross Profit\n142.7%\n79.0%\n59.2%\n43.6%\n31.8%\n25.1%\n\n\nSG&A Expenses\n-4.1%\n31.2%\n32.4%\n19.6%\n16.2%\n10.5%\n\n\nR&D Expenses\n-6.1%\n48.7%\n48.0%\n33.6%\n22.7%\n16.6%\n\n\nG&A Expenses\n16.9%\n39.9%\n32.4%\n19.6%\n22.7%\n16.6%\n\n\nTotal Operating Expenses\n-0.7%\n37.3%\n36.5%\n23.6%\n19.6%\n13.7%\n\n\nLoss from Operations\n-43.0%\n-15.1%\n-23.8%\n-87.6%\nTB\n158.8%\n\n\nSource: Author, from Company data; TB = turned black\n\n\n\nSource: Author, from Company data, Our Estimates\nSource: Author, from Company data, Our Estimates\nSource: Author, from Company data, Our Estimates\nCompany Background\nAt the end of 2020, Zhihu had more than 43.1 million cumulative content creators that contributed 315 million questions and answers. In 4Q 2020, the company had 75.7 million average monthly active users, up 33% YoY. One of the key strengths of the company is that it is recognized as one of the most trustworthy online content communities and regarded as providing one of the highest quality content in China. Zhihu has tried to capitalize on its large user base to provide numerous multimedia functions including live streaming, e-commerce, online education, and other video content.\nIn August 2019, Zhihu received $434 million in funding from leading investors including Baidu and Kuaishou Technology, valuing the company at $3.5 billion. Given that the company had $97 million in sales in 2019, this would suggest a P/S valuation multiple of 36x. If we take the same P/S multiple apply to the company's 2020 sales of $207 million, this would suggest an implied valuation of $7.5 billion.\nZhihu was originally developed as a question and answer online community in 2010. At the end of 2020, there were a total of 315 million Q&As spanning more than 1,000 verticals and 571,000 topics. Zhihu is one of the top five comprehensive online content communities in China, in terms of average mobile MAUs and revenue in 2020. The company uses artificial intelligence, cloud, and big data algorithms to improve the optimization of its content and services.\nMajor Shareholders of Zhihu\nThe founder & CEOZhou Yuanowns an 8.2% stake in the company (but 46.6% voting rights). Sinovation Ventures owns a 13.1% stake and Tencent Holdings Ltd. owns a 12.3% stake of Zhihu.\nKey Demographics\nThe diagram below provides some of the key demographics of Zhihu user base. Males accounted for 56.9% of total users. People under 30 years old accounted for 78.7% of its total user base. Tier I and new tier I cities represented 52.6% of total user base. Many of the users of Zhihu are students and white collar professionals.\nSource: Author, from Company data\nRevenue Breakdown\nAdvertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The company's advertising revenue is mainly driven by its MAUs and advertising revenue per MAU. The company's MAUs increased by 42.7% YoY to 68.5 million in 2020. The company started its online advertising business in 2016 and introduced paid content in 2018.\nPaid memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. Average monthly members jumped by 311.5% YoY to 2.36 million in 2020, which is a testament of an increasing number of customers that value the premium content available on Zhihu.\nIn March 2019, the company introduced the Yan Selection membership program, making it the first payment-based questions & answers community. It provides its members with unlimited access to about 3.4 million paid content including online lectures, columns, audio books, and e-journals. This is one of the biggest strengths of the company as it shows how high quality data and content can generate serious amount of revenues and it also provides a more steady monthly revenue inflow.\nContent Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans, assigning the most relevant content creators to interested users, and facilitating content creation.\nChina's content-commerce solution market is expected to be one of the fastest growing sectors in the next several years. According to CIC Consultancy, China's content-commerce solution market is expected to enjoy a strong CAGR growth of 46.4% from 2019 to 2025 (112.3 billion RMB).\nMarket Opportunities\nChina’s Online Content Communities Market Size\nOnline content communities refer to UGC (user generated content)-focused (including PUGC (professional user generated content) focused online content market players where content creators are also users, who are actively engaged within the communities. The content communities generally can stimulate higher level of user engagement, more interactive user experience, and enjoy lower content cost, compared to PGC (professionally generated content) players. PGC is content created by the branded company or organization.\nChina's online content communities market size increased from 38.6 billion RMB in 2015 to 275.8 billion RMB in 2019 and is further expected to rise to 1.3 trillion RMB in 2025, representing a CAGR of 30.3% from 2019 to 2025, which is higher than the overall online content market growth.\nChina's online content community market has more diversified monetization channels including online advertising, paid membership, content e-commerce, content-commerce solutions, virtual gifting in live streaming, online games, and online education services. In comparison, the US online content community's monetization is mainly through advertising.\nOne of the major positives about the company is the growing trend of more Chinese consumers that are willing to pay money for higher quality content. The number of paying users in China’s online content communities is expected to increase at a CAGR of 17.1% between 2019 and 2025, which means an increase of 360.4 million extra paying users of online content communities to 588.2 million in 2025.\nChina's Online Content Market\nChina's online content market tripled from 2015 to reach 1.2 trillion RMB in 2019. This market is expected to increase to 3.7 trillion RMB in 2025, representing a CAGR of 21.4% from 2019 to 2025.\nChina’s Online Content Market Size (in terms of revenue), 2015-2025E\nSource: CIC Report\nMarket Size of China’s Online Content Communities (in terms of revenue),2015-2025E\nSource: CIC Report\nChina’s Paid Membership Market Size (in terms of revenue), 2015-2025E\nSource: CIC Report\nContent-commerce solutions\nTo provide integrated marketing services, the online content communities provide content-commerce solutions for content creation, content distribution, and content conversion. The company provides integrated content-commerce solutions, providing merchants and brands one-stop services for all their sales and marketing needs, from making marketing plans, facilitating content creation, assigning the most relevant content creators, to distributing to the interested users. China's content commerce solution market is expected to grow from 11.4 billion RMB in 2019 to 112.3 billion RMB in 2025, at a CAGR of 46.4%.\nChina’s Content-Commerce Solution Market Size (in terms of revenue), 2015-2025E\nSource: CIC Report\n\nEmployees- At the end of 2020, the company had 1,651 full time employees, all of whom were based in China, primarily at its headquarters in Beijing, China.\n\n\n\n\nZhihui Employees Breakdown (At the end of 2020)\n\n\nFunction\nNumber of employees\n% of Total Employees\n\n\nContent and Content-Related Operations\n461\n27.9%\n\n\nResearch and Development\n672\n40.7%\n\n\nSales and Marketing\n337\n20.4%\n\n\nGeneral Administration\n181\n11.0%\n\n\nTotal\n1,651\n100.0%\n\n\nSource: Company data\n\n\n\nKey Investment Risks\n\nPost COVID-19 environment - The COVID-19 has had a positive impact on the company as millions of people in China spent more time at home and increased their time on the Internet and mobile phones which led to usage of more Internet services such as Zhihu. Although the COVID-19 situation currently is not as dire as a year ago, there are still numerous social distancing measures. In the post COVID-19 environment, this could lead to a slower growth rate of its sales and profit improvement.\nCensorship related risks - Given that Zhihu is one of the largest Q&A websites in China, it is likely to face numerous censorship related issues from the Chinese government and this remains one of the key risk factors.\nRecent share price declines of Chinese tech giants and Chinese tech IPOs in the US - There have been some big declines in share prices of several Chinese tech giants includingAlibaba Group (9988 HK)andTencent Holdings (700 HK). Share prices of other Chinese tech giants such as JD.com and Meituan have also declined in the past few weeks but not as much as Alibaba and Tencent. In addition,Cloopen Group Holding Ltd. (RAAS US),which recently completed its IPO in February saw its share price surge in the first day but it has dropped by more than 50% since then.\nMostly text-based content platform - For now, most of Zhihu's content tend to be text-based, although the company is offering more video and non-text-based content. For the users that prefer non-text-based content, this could deter some people from becoming paid members or users of Zhihu. However, the company is actively making efforts to provide more videos, live streaming, and other non-text-based content. These efforts to provide a more diversified source of content could result in higher operating costs.\nLack of profitability - Despite strong sales growth, the company remains unprofitable with an operating margin of -44.6% in 2020.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":271,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":359206465,"gmtCreate":1616400739757,"gmtModify":1704793508484,"author":{"id":"3559427160267055","authorId":"3559427160267055","name":"Champu13","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f6277b7f77b4310d811ee73420346d4","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559427160267055","idStr":"3559427160267055"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/359206465","repostId":"1194949679","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1194949679","pubTimestamp":1616399585,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1194949679?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-22 15:53","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Ant’s Alipay Rolls Out Investment Advisory Platform in China","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1194949679","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Tougu Guanjia functions like a supermarket for robo advisers\nAnt is working with five asset managers","content":"<ul>\n <li>Tougu Guanjia functions like a supermarket for robo advisers</li>\n <li>Ant is working with five asset managers as part of debut</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Ant Group Co.&nbsp;created an investment advisory platform on its Alipay app, allowing companies that offer robo adviser services to reach its 1 billion users.</p>\n<p>Five Chinese asset management companies debuted on the platform known as Tougu Guanjia, which means investment advisory manager.

That's a lot of newly printed US dollars that will find its way to the stock market. Every stimulus package furthers dilutes the purchasing power of the US dollar and makes high-quality growth stocks much more expensive.</p>\n<p>Here are 5 EV stocks to buy from the recent dip in the prices.</p>\n<p><b>1. Tesla</b></p>\n<p>Tesla is a diversified energy company that sells EVs, solar roofs, and solar panels.</p>\n<p>The company is best known for its futuristic electric cars and charismatic CEO, Elon Musk. Tesla's TTM revenue is around $31 billion and delivered just under 500,000 EVs in 2020.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a858e7e3c2b2cf12e0ef6b3603d44ce0\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Even though Tesla has faced some short-term headwinds like a global chip shortage and falling market share in some key markets, I believe Tesla will remain focused on its goal to deliver 20 million EVs annually by 2030.</p>\n<p>Competition is normal and it's unrealistic for any company to generate 80%+ of all industry revenue.</p>\n<p>Historically, Tesla stock is a wonderful wealth generator with 60% CAGR over the last 10 years.</p>\n<p>The truth is many long-term Tesla bulls will buy this dip in price and the new stimulus money will give investors a reason to pump more money into Tesla stock.</p>\n<p><b>2. Nio (NIO)</b></p>\n<p>Nio is a Chinese-based EV maker that delivered around 43,000 EVs in 2020.</p>\n<p>The company already hit&nbsp;record deliveries in January 2021&nbsp;but experienced a temporary slowdown in February due to the Chinese lunar new year.</p>\n<p>As investors shifted money away from growth stocks into value stock, Nio stock has fallen around 40% from its yearly highs.</p>\n<p>Is this the right time to panic? Of course not, Nio stock also has an impressive compounded annual growth rate plus is nowhere near its long-term potential.Nio announced the new Nio ET7 sedan&nbsp;during its annual Nio day and production will start in early 2022.</p>\n<p>In Q4 2020, Nio delivered 17,353 deliveries and generated over $1 billion in revenue.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de101cca556db6b3795f44be802f9a8e\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>While Tesla is the clear leader in the Chinese EV market, Nio is growing at a rapid pace and still remains a strong long-term growth stock for EV investors.</p>\n<p><b>3. XPeng (XPEV)</b></p>\n<p>XPeng is a Chinese-based smart EV maker that sells two main electric cars: the P7 and G3.</p>\n<p>The company has drawn comparisons to Tesla with its flashy line of good-looking EVs and a fast-growing supercharging network.</p>\n<p>Deliveries are much smaller than Nio or Tesla but I like the XPeng's overall product concept.</p>\n<p>XPeng focuses on forward-thinking technology like self-parking, autonomous driving, and software upgrades that draws the famous comparison to Tesla.</p>\n<p>The company grew&nbsp;Q4 2020 revenue 345% YoY&nbsp;to $436.6 million with 12,964 EVs delivered.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6e13e91a787addb56f33d70e8a63cd5a\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Both are massive records for XPeng with more gains in revenue and deliveries projected for the rest of 2021. At just a market cap of around $25 billion, I think XPeng is one of the better EV stocks to buy in terms of overall market cap and future growth potential.</p>\n<p><b>4. ChargePoint (CHPT)</b></p>\n<p>ChargePoint is the largest EV charging station network in North America and just recently completed its SPAC merger with Switchback Energy.</p>\n<p>My bullish thesis for ChargePoint is the fact that all EVs sold (both consumer and commercial) must be charged. ChargePoint set a goal to launch&nbsp;2.5 million&nbsp;charging ports by 2025 in North America and Europe.</p>\n<p>The EV movement is only gaining steam this year and President Joe Biden plans to build 500,000&nbsp;EV charging stations&nbsp;to support the movement towards zero carbon emissions.</p>\n<p>ChargePoint will announce its first quarterly earnings report on March 11th as a publicly traded company and it will be interesting to see exactly how much revenue the company generates. Estimates show ChargePoint&nbsp;generates between&nbsp;$100 to $150 million annually, which means a P/S ratio of around 40 isn't too expensive considering its growth potential.</p>\n<p><b>5. Churchill Capital Corp IV (</b>CCIV<b>)</b></p>\n<p>Lucid Motors has planned a merger via a SPAC deal with CCIV sometime in the first half of 2021. Lucid Motors CEO Peter Rawlinson is a former employee of Tesla and plans to launch the Lucid Air in the 2nd half of 2021.</p>\n<p>The Lucid Air is one of the most luxurious EVs I've ever seen. It has a 512-mile battery range and can comfortably fit 5 people within the sedan with plenty of room to spare. Based on the interior of private jets, the Lucid Air has attracted a lot of investment capital from institutional investors and even the Saudi Public Investment Fund.</p>\n<p>Lucid Motors is a $36 billion company based on CCIV's current share price and the company plans to deliver 500,000 EVs by 2030.</p>\n<p>I call Lucid Motors a version of \"Tesla 2.0\" and the company will operate as a diversified energy company just like Tesla. Lucid Motors plans to sell EV batteries, clean stored energy, and also allow Lucid Air EVs to act as a backup generator in case of a power outage.</p>\n<p>Everyone saw how valuable a cult following is for any company and Tesla definitely benefited from the massive obsession of its shareholders. The good news is Lucid Motors is on the right track and the&nbsp;CCIV subreddit&nbsp;already has 35,000 followers who anxiously anticipate the merger.</p>\n<p>If Lucid Motors can execute on its bold claims and deliver the next generation of luxury EVs then Lucid Motors stock looks like a compelling buy at these depressed price levels.</p>\n<p><b>Focus on EV Companies with Solid Revenue Growth</b></p>\n<p>4 of these 5 stocks generate strong revenue and plan to continue revenue growth at a rapid pace.</p>\n<p>I made the point of leaving out some more speculative EV plays like Fisker (FSR) and Workhorse (WKHS) because these stocks are pure speculation at this point.</p>\n<p>EV growth will become a huge trend in the future but many consumers aren't aware of electric car benefits just yet. That means several EV companies will fall over time so it's important to pick companies with either strong revenues or a massive cult following.</p>\n<p><b>Risk Factors: Decline in EV Sales, Chip Shortages, and Post-Pandemic Consumer Spending Changes</b></p>\n<p>Of course, the EV sector comes with several risk factors that could delay the inevitable shift to electric vehicles.</p>\n<p>Global EV sales are soaring and Chinese EV sales posted a&nbsp;seven-fold increase&nbsp;YoY in February. However, things could turn south and it's possible that EV sales growth slows down or even declines in the future. While I believe this risk factor is almost impossible due to new government sanctions, I feel it deserves mentioning.</p>\n<p>EV demand is so strong now that a global chip shortage has affected production and deliveries, especially in the Chinese EV market. EVs are basically \"computers on wheels\" and EV makers rely on fast and powerful chips to power the hardware of electric cars. If global chip shortages last longer than expected then EV stocks could decline as investors chase other sectors.</p>\n<p>Lastly, I feel post-pandemic fears could disrupt the EV market as well in the short run. I expect a large amount of Americans to save their stimulus checks or spend them on the bare essentials like food, rent, and transportation. It's unclear how consumers will respond once society opens back up this summer.</p>\n<p>If consumer spending shifts away from EVs to public transportation then the EV market could experience a decline in revenue across the board.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>My investing motto when it comes to EV stocks can be summed up in one sentence: Be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy.</p>\n<p>The EV stock selloff is completely based on fear and the smart money bought some of these mentioned EV stocks on the dip.</p>\n<p>Many investors will pump their stimulus checks into their favorite stocks and I think the EV sector will benefit from the sudden influx of capital</p>\n<p>It's a great time to pick up EV growth stocks at a discount and hold for the long run.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

That's a lot of newly printed US dollars that will find its way to the stock market. Every stimulus package furthers dilutes the purchasing power of the US dollar and makes high-quality growth stocks much more expensive.\nHere are 5 EV stocks to buy from the recent dip in the prices.\n1. Tesla\nTesla is a diversified energy company that sells EVs, solar roofs, and solar panels.\nThe company is best known for its futuristic electric cars and charismatic CEO, Elon Musk. Tesla's TTM revenue is around $31 billion and delivered just under 500,000 EVs in 2020.\nData by YCharts\nEven though Tesla has faced some short-term headwinds like a global chip shortage and falling market share in some key markets, I believe Tesla will remain focused on its goal to deliver 20 million EVs annually by 2030.\nCompetition is normal and it's unrealistic for any company to generate 80%+ of all industry revenue.\nHistorically, Tesla stock is a wonderful wealth generator with 60% CAGR over the last 10 years.\nThe truth is many long-term Tesla bulls will buy this dip in price and the new stimulus money will give investors a reason to pump more money into Tesla stock.\n2. Nio (NIO)\nNio is a Chinese-based EV maker that delivered around 43,000 EVs in 2020.\nThe company already hit record deliveries in January 2021 but experienced a temporary slowdown in February due to the Chinese lunar new year.\nAs investors shifted money away from growth stocks into value stock, Nio stock has fallen around 40% from its yearly highs.\nIs this the right time to panic? Of course not, Nio stock also has an impressive compounded annual growth rate plus is nowhere near its long-term potential.Nio announced the new Nio ET7 sedan during its annual Nio day and production will start in early 2022.\nIn Q4 2020, Nio delivered 17,353 deliveries and generated over $1 billion in revenue.\nData by YCharts\nWhile Tesla is the clear leader in the Chinese EV market, Nio is growing at a rapid pace and still remains a strong long-term growth stock for EV investors.\n3. XPeng (XPEV)\nXPeng is a Chinese-based smart EV maker that sells two main electric cars: the P7 and G3.\nThe company has drawn comparisons to Tesla with its flashy line of good-looking EVs and a fast-growing supercharging network.\nDeliveries are much smaller than Nio or Tesla but I like the XPeng's overall product concept.\nXPeng focuses on forward-thinking technology like self-parking, autonomous driving, and software upgrades that draws the famous comparison to Tesla.\nThe company grew Q4 2020 revenue 345% YoY to $436.6 million with 12,964 EVs delivered.\nData by YCharts\nBoth are massive records for XPeng with more gains in revenue and deliveries projected for the rest of 2021. At just a market cap of around $25 billion, I think XPeng is one of the better EV stocks to buy in terms of overall market cap and future growth potential.\n4. ChargePoint (CHPT)\nChargePoint is the largest EV charging station network in North America and just recently completed its SPAC merger with Switchback Energy.\nMy bullish thesis for ChargePoint is the fact that all EVs sold (both consumer and commercial) must be charged. ChargePoint set a goal to launch 2.5 million charging ports by 2025 in North America and Europe.\nThe EV movement is only gaining steam this year and President Joe Biden plans to build 500,000 EV charging stations to support the movement towards zero carbon emissions.\nChargePoint will announce its first quarterly earnings report on March 11th as a publicly traded company and it will be interesting to see exactly how much revenue the company generates. Estimates show ChargePoint generates between $100 to $150 million annually, which means a P/S ratio of around 40 isn't too expensive considering its growth potential.\n5. Churchill Capital Corp IV (CCIV)\nLucid Motors has planned a merger via a SPAC deal with CCIV sometime in the first half of 2021. Lucid Motors CEO Peter Rawlinson is a former employee of Tesla and plans to launch the Lucid Air in the 2nd half of 2021.\nThe Lucid Air is one of the most luxurious EVs I've ever seen. It has a 512-mile battery range and can comfortably fit 5 people within the sedan with plenty of room to spare. Based on the interior of private jets, the Lucid Air has attracted a lot of investment capital from institutional investors and even the Saudi Public Investment Fund.\nLucid Motors is a $36 billion company based on CCIV's current share price and the company plans to deliver 500,000 EVs by 2030.\nI call Lucid Motors a version of \"Tesla 2.0\" and the company will operate as a diversified energy company just like Tesla. Lucid Motors plans to sell EV batteries, clean stored energy, and also allow Lucid Air EVs to act as a backup generator in case of a power outage.\nEveryone saw how valuable a cult following is for any company and Tesla definitely benefited from the massive obsession of its shareholders. The good news is Lucid Motors is on the right track and the CCIV subreddit already has 35,000 followers who anxiously anticipate the merger.\nIf Lucid Motors can execute on its bold claims and deliver the next generation of luxury EVs then Lucid Motors stock looks like a compelling buy at these depressed price levels.\nFocus on EV Companies with Solid Revenue Growth\n4 of these 5 stocks generate strong revenue and plan to continue revenue growth at a rapid pace.\nI made the point of leaving out some more speculative EV plays like Fisker (FSR) and Workhorse (WKHS) because these stocks are pure speculation at this point.\nEV growth will become a huge trend in the future but many consumers aren't aware of electric car benefits just yet. That means several EV companies will fall over time so it's important to pick companies with either strong revenues or a massive cult following.\nRisk Factors: Decline in EV Sales, Chip Shortages, and Post-Pandemic Consumer Spending Changes\nOf course, the EV sector comes with several risk factors that could delay the inevitable shift to electric vehicles.\nGlobal EV sales are soaring and Chinese EV sales posted a seven-fold increase YoY in February. However, things could turn south and it's possible that EV sales growth slows down or even declines in the future. While I believe this risk factor is almost impossible due to new government sanctions, I feel it deserves mentioning.\nEV demand is so strong now that a global chip shortage has affected production and deliveries, especially in the Chinese EV market. EVs are basically \"computers on wheels\" and EV makers rely on fast and powerful chips to power the hardware of electric cars. If global chip shortages last longer than expected then EV stocks could decline as investors chase other sectors.\nLastly, I feel post-pandemic fears could disrupt the EV market as well in the short run. I expect a large amount of Americans to save their stimulus checks or spend them on the bare essentials like food, rent, and transportation. It's unclear how consumers will respond once society opens back up this summer.\nIf consumer spending shifts away from EVs to public transportation then the EV market could experience a decline in revenue across the board.\nConclusion\nMy investing motto when it comes to EV stocks can be summed up in one sentence: Be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy.\nThe EV stock selloff is completely based on fear and the smart money bought some of these mentioned EV stocks on the dip.\nMany investors will pump their stimulus checks into their favorite stocks and I think the EV sector will benefit from the sudden influx of capital\nIt's a great time to pick up EV growth stocks at a discount and hold for the long run.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":307,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":329546275,"gmtCreate":1615263049497,"gmtModify":1704780288877,"author":{"id":"3559427160267055","authorId":"3559427160267055","name":"Champu13","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f6277b7f77b4310d811ee73420346d4","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559427160267055","idStr":"3559427160267055"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ark","listText":"Ark","text":"Ark","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/329546275","repostId":"1155746710","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155746710","pubTimestamp":1615258748,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1155746710?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-09 10:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Cathie Wood Keeps ‘Eye on the Prize’ as Rotation Pummels Ark ETF","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155746710","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- The violent stock rotation that sent the Ark Innovation ETF to its worst losses in a ","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- The violent stock rotation that sent the Ark Innovation ETF to its worst losses in a year is a healthy development for a bull market that will spur the fund to “concentrate toward our highest-conviction names,” its founder Cathie Wood said.</p>\n<p>Wood’s exchange-traded funds fell again Monday, extending a selloff that has wiped 30% from her flagship investing strategy since a Feb. 12 high.

Why That’s Important","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1185392550","media":"Barrons","summary":"(March 9) Berkshire Hathaway’s Class A shares have had unusually high trading activity of late. And ","content":"<p>(March&nbsp;9)&nbsp;Berkshire Hathaway’s Class A shares have had unusually high trading activity of late. And that could mean that an investor is accumulating the high-vote stock, whose dominant holder is CEO Warren Buffett.</p><p>The Class A shares (ticker BRK.A) normally trade on light volume, reflecting their high price—the stock finished Friday at $381,600—and a preference among institutional and retail investors for the more liquid Class B shares (BRK.B), which ended Friday at $253.15. The Class B stock is in the S&amp;P 500 index.</p><p>In recent weeks, however, trading in the Class A shares has been elevated at an average of more than 2,000 shares a day—and 2,500 a day in past five sessions—against an average of fewer than 500 shares daily in 2020. The difference translates into about $800 million of additional daily trades in the Class A stock. Trading activity in the Class B shares, meanwhile, has not been elevated—an average of about five million shares a day in the past month, against six million in the last 12 months.</p><p>Berkshire shares have bested the S&amp;P 500 this year with the Class A stock up 9.7% through Friday, against a 2.5% rise in the index after trailing the index by a total of over 40 percentage points in 2019 and 2020. Wall Street has warmed to Berkshire thanks to its relatively low valuation versus book value and as a reopening play given its many economically sensitive businesses.</p><p>The shares continued their recent rally on Monday, with the Class A shares up 1.6%, to a near record of $387,840, and the Class B stock 1.4% higher, at $256.65.</p><p>Investors will probably have to wait until mid-May, when institutional holders file their March 31 equity investments, for the identity of the possible buyer of the Class A stock to be known, unless the purchaser gets to a 5% stake, which would trigger a quicker regulatory filing.</p><p>WSJ&nbsp;Jobs&nbsp;Summmit&nbsp;|&nbsp;Succeed&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;Search&nbsp;|&nbsp;March&nbsp;4</p><p>Berkshire’s Class B stock is equal to 1/1500 of a share of the Class A shares, but it carries just 1/10,000 of the vote.</p><p>This has helped Buffett maintain control of the company as his economic interest declines because of his large annual gifts of Berkshire stock to the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation and other charitable organizations over the past 15 years. Buffett gave way $2.9 billion to the various foundations last year. The Class A is the original Berkshire stock, while the Class B was created in 1996.</p><p>Buffett holds 248,734 Class A shares, a 16% economic interest in the company, but roughly 30% of the vote. Buffett owns 39% of the Class A stock. Around 40% of Berkshire’s stock is held in the Class A shares, with the rest in the Class B. Berkshire’s market value is around $580 billion.</p><p>It is notable that when Buffett gives away stock annually, he converts his Class A stock to Class B stock. The Class B stock is more liquid than the A, simplifying subsequent sales by the Gates foundation and others. But in converting the A shares, Buffett ensures that other investors won’t get their hands on the supervoting shares.</p><p>That could be important in the post-Buffett era, because it means whoever is overseeing his estate should have a sizable voting interest in Berkshire. Buffett has said that his Berkshire stake would be given away in the 12 years after his death.</p><p>Berkshire could face pressure from activists after Buffett’s death to break up the company, something that the CEO opposes. Buffett has said that he doubts any breakup will occur because sufficient stock is likely to be in friendly hands after his death.</p><p>The Class A stock can be converted into 1,500 shares of the Class B stock, but not the other way around. As a result, the Class A stock can trade at a premium to the Class B.

And that could mean that an investor is accumulating the high-vote stock, whose dominant holder is CEO Warren Buffett.The Class A shares (ticker BRK.A) normally trade on light volume, reflecting their high price—the stock finished Friday at $381,600—and a preference among institutional and retail investors for the more liquid Class B shares (BRK.B), which ended Friday at $253.15. The Class B stock is in the S&P 500 index.In recent weeks, however, trading in the Class A shares has been elevated at an average of more than 2,000 shares a day—and 2,500 a day in past five sessions—against an average of fewer than 500 shares daily in 2020. The difference translates into about $800 million of additional daily trades in the Class A stock. Trading activity in the Class B shares, meanwhile, has not been elevated—an average of about five million shares a day in the past month, against six million in the last 12 months.Berkshire shares have bested the S&P 500 this year with the Class A stock up 9.7% through Friday, against a 2.5% rise in the index after trailing the index by a total of over 40 percentage points in 2019 and 2020. Wall Street has warmed to Berkshire thanks to its relatively low valuation versus book value and as a reopening play given its many economically sensitive businesses.The shares continued their recent rally on Monday, with the Class A shares up 1.6%, to a near record of $387,840, and the Class B stock 1.4% higher, at $256.65.Investors will probably have to wait until mid-May, when institutional holders file their March 31 equity investments, for the identity of the possible buyer of the Class A stock to be known, unless the purchaser gets to a 5% stake, which would trigger a quicker regulatory filing.WSJ Jobs Summmit | Succeed in the Search | March 4Berkshire’s Class B stock is equal to 1/1500 of a share of the Class A shares, but it carries just 1/10,000 of the vote.This has helped Buffett maintain control of the company as his economic interest declines because of his large annual gifts of Berkshire stock to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and other charitable organizations over the past 15 years. Buffett gave way $2.9 billion to the various foundations last year. The Class A is the original Berkshire stock, while the Class B was created in 1996.Buffett holds 248,734 Class A shares, a 16% economic interest in the company, but roughly 30% of the vote. Buffett owns 39% of the Class A stock. Around 40% of Berkshire’s stock is held in the Class A shares, with the rest in the Class B. Berkshire’s market value is around $580 billion.It is notable that when Buffett gives away stock annually, he converts his Class A stock to Class B stock. The Class B stock is more liquid than the A, simplifying subsequent sales by the Gates foundation and others. But in converting the A shares, Buffett ensures that other investors won’t get their hands on the supervoting shares.That could be important in the post-Buffett era, because it means whoever is overseeing his estate should have a sizable voting interest in Berkshire. Buffett has said that his Berkshire stake would be given away in the 12 years after his death.Berkshire could face pressure from activists after Buffett’s death to break up the company, something that the CEO opposes. Buffett has said that he doubts any breakup will occur because sufficient stock is likely to be in friendly hands after his death.The Class A stock can be converted into 1,500 shares of the Class B stock, but not the other way around. As a result, the Class A stock can trade at a premium to the Class B. With the recent buying activity in the A stock, it ended Friday at a roughly 0.5% premium to the B shares, against virtual parity at year-end 2020.There are few sizable holders of the Class A stock besides Buffett. Fidelity parent FMR is the only other owner of more than 5%. Much of the Fidelity stake is held by Fidelity Contrafund (FCNTX), whose manager, Will Danoff, is a longtime Berkshire fan and holder.Buffett discussed the Class A and Class B stock in a 1999 memo to Berkshire holders that was last updated in 2010.Here’s what Buffett wrote:When there is more demand for the B (relative to supply) than for the A, the B will sell at roughly 1/1,500th of the price of A. When there’s a lesser demand, it will fall to a discount. In my opinion, most of the time, the demand for the B will be such that it will trade at about 1/1,500th of the price of the A.However, from time to time, a different supply-demand situation will prevail and the B will sell at some discount. In my opinion, again, when the B is at a discount of more than say, 1%, it offers a better buy than the A. When the two are at parity, however, anyone wishing to buy 1,500 or more B should consider buying A instead.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":227,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":367331263,"gmtCreate":1614909103652,"gmtModify":1704776845427,"author":{"id":"3559427160267055","authorId":"3559427160267055","name":"Champu13","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f6277b7f77b4310d811ee73420346d4","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559427160267055","idStr":"3559427160267055"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Gg","listText":"Gg","text":"Gg","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/367331263","repostId":"1151606825","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":214,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":367331399,"gmtCreate":1614909091211,"gmtModify":1704776844940,"author":{"id":"3559427160267055","authorId":"3559427160267055","name":"Champu13","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f6277b7f77b4310d811ee73420346d4","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559427160267055","idStr":"3559427160267055"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Gg","listText":"Gg","text":"Gg","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/367331399","repostId":"1151606825","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1151606825","pubTimestamp":1614903516,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1151606825?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-05 08:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nasdaq ends sharply lower after Powell comments","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1151606825","media":"Reuters","summary":"(Reuters) - Wall Street ended sharply lower on Thursday, leaving the Nasdaq down nearly 10% from its","content":"<p>(Reuters) - Wall Street ended sharply lower on Thursday, leaving the Nasdaq down nearly 10% from its February record high, after remarks from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell disappointed investors worried about rising longer-term U.S. bond yields.</p><p>A decline of 10% from its February record high would confirm the Nasdaq is in a correction.</p><p>The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield spiked to 1.533% after Powell’s comments, which did not point to changes in the Fed’s asset purchases to tackle the recent jump in yields.

It still held below last week’s one-year high of 1.614%.Some investors had expected the Fed might step up purchases of long-term bonds, helping push down long-term interest rates.“The market has been worried about the rise in long-term interest rates and the Fed chairman in his commentary didn’t really push back towards this increase in rates and the market took it as a signal that yields could rise further, which is what has happened,” said Scott Brown, chief economist at Raymond James in Florida.GRAPHIC-Nasdaq tumbles 10% from February record high -In a day of heavy trading on Wall Street, the Nasdaq wiped out all of its year-to-date gains and ended down 9.7% from its record closing high on Feb. 12. The S&P 500 has declined over 4% from its record high close on Feb. 12.Data showed the number of Americans filing for jobless benefits rose last week, likely boosted by brutal winter storms in the densely populated South, though the labor market outlook is improving amid declining new COVID-19 cases.The crucial monthly payrolls report is expected on Friday.Wall Street has been under pressure in recent sessions as a spike in U.S. bond yields hurt valuations of high-flying tech stocks. Stocks expected to thrive as the economy reopens outperformed in recent weeks due to expectations of a new round of fiscal aid and vaccinations.The S&P 500 energy sector index jumped 2.5% and reached a one-year high on the back of higher oil prices.The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.11% to end at 30,924.14 points, while the S&P 500 lost 1.34% to 3,768.47.The Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.11% to 12,723.47.Volume on U.S. exchanges was 18 billion shares, compared with the 15 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.Apple Inc, Tesla Inc and PayPal Holdings Inc were among the largest drags on the S&P 500. Tesla dropped almost 5%.Tech stocks are particularly sensitive to rising yields because their value rests heavily on future earnings, which are discounted more deeply when bond returns go up.“Valuations are at the high end of historic ranges, so you are seeing selling, especially in the higher valuation areas like the Nasdaq and tech general,” said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment

Dicos’ 1.2% share puts it behind only Yum China Holdings Inc.’s KFC and McDonald’s Corp. in the country.\nTing Hsin is a major shareholder in Tingyi (Cayman Island) Holding Corp., a Hong Kong-listed firm that sells Master Kong-branded noodles, teas and juices, and which is PepsiCo Inc.’s official partner in China.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":181,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":364140689,"gmtCreate":1614826684141,"gmtModify":1704775717066,"author":{"id":"3559427160267055","authorId":"3559427160267055","name":"Champu13","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f6277b7f77b4310d811ee73420346d4","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559427160267055","idStr":"3559427160267055"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".&nbsp;","listText":".&nbsp;","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/364140689","repostId":"2116522854","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":107,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":329546917,"gmtCreate":1615263012939,"gmtModify":1704780288070,"author":{"id":"3559427160267055","authorId":"3559427160267055","name":"Champu13","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f6277b7f77b4310d811ee73420346d4","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559427160267055","idStr":"3559427160267055"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pro","listText":"Pro","text":"Pro","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/329546917","repostId":"1185392550","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":227,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":343107579,"gmtCreate":1617684854791,"gmtModify":1704701773831,"author":{"id":"3559427160267055","authorId":"3559427160267055","name":"Champu13","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f6277b7f77b4310d811ee73420346d4","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559427160267055","idStr":"3559427160267055"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","listText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","text":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/343107579","repostId":"2125757547","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":381,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":349276291,"gmtCreate":1617620635713,"gmtModify":1704700938679,"author":{"id":"3559427160267055","authorId":"3559427160267055","name":"Champu13","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f6277b7f77b4310d811ee73420346d4","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559427160267055","idStr":"3559427160267055"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","listText":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","text":"Great ariticle, would you like to share it?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/349276291","repostId":"2125757547","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":180,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":359202242,"gmtCreate":1616400790186,"gmtModify":1704793509941,"author":{"id":"3559427160267055","authorId":"3559427160267055","name":"Champu13","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f6277b7f77b4310d811ee73420346d4","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559427160267055","idStr":"3559427160267055"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/359202242","repostId":"1178841475","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1178841475","pubTimestamp":1616397529,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1178841475?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-22 15:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Zhihu IPO: China's Quora With Surging Sales Growth","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1178841475","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nZhihu is expected to complete its IPO in the next few days.

It plans to raise up to $632.5 million offering 55 million ADSs. The IPO price range is from $9.50 to $11.5 per share. At the midpoint of the IPO price range, the company would be valued at $6.2 billion. At the high end of the IPO price range ($11.5 per share), it would be valued at $6.8 billion. Along with the IPO, Zhihu also plans to raise $250 million in a private placement to Alibaba (BABA), JD.com(NASDAQ:JD), Tencent(OTCPK:TCEHY), and Lilith Games.</p>\n<p>Zhihu has a similar business model as Quora where millions of people ask questions and exchange their views and experiences. Zhihu has become the largest online question and answer community in China.</p>\n<p>In our valuation analysis, we have used the following seven companies below as comps that may be appropriate for Zhihu:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Baidu (BIDU)</li>\n <li>DouYu (DOYU)</li>\n <li>iQIYI (IQ)</li>\n <li>JOYY (YY)</li>\n <li>Weibo Corp. (WB)</li>\n <li>Bilibili (BILI)</li>\n <li>KuaishouTech(OTCPK:KUASF)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Our base case and high case implied market caps of the company are $7.1 billion ($12 per share) and $9.0 billion ($15.2 per share), respectively. We do believe that there will be a first day pop for this IPO and expect its market cap could reach the high end of the valuation sensitivity analysis (market cap of $9.0 billion or $15.2 per share). In the first few days of trading post IPO, we expect the company's market cap to be trading in the mid-to-high end of our valuation analysis ($12 to $15.2 per share). We have a positive view of the Zhihu IPO.</p>\n<p>Our base case valuation assumes our 2022E sales estimate of 3.7 billion RMB ($566 million) and apply an EV/Sales multiple of 10.4x to derive an implied EV of 38.3 billion RMB and an implied market cap of 46.1 billion RMB ($7.1 billion). The EV/Sales multiple of 10.4x is based on a 20% premium to the average of Kuaishou Tech andBilibili'sEV/Sales multiples in 2022.</p>\n<p>We believe the 20% premium to the average of these two companies is appropriate for Zhihu mainly due to the latter company's much higher sales growth. For example, Zhihu's sales increased by 101.7% YoY in 2020. In comparison,Bilibili'ssales increased by 77% YoY and the consensus expects Kuaishou Tech's sales to increase by 50.5% YoY in 2020. The consensus expects Bilibili and Kuaishou Tech's sales to increase by 69.8% YoY and 59.3% YoY, respectively in 2021.</p>\n<p>In comparison, we expect Zhihu's sales to increase by 74.9% in 2021. Despite higher sales growth for Zhihu, Bilibili and Kuaishou Tech have much larger market caps and are closer to achieving positive operating margins. With regards to Zhihu, despite slowing growth rate for its advertising revenues, its Paid Memberships and Content Commerce Revenues are exploding higher and many investors are likely to give higher points on these positive growth factors.</p>\n<table>\n <colgroup></colgroup>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><b>Zhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Analysis</b></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><b>Companies</b></td>\n   <td><b>Mkt Cap (US$ bil)</b></td>\n   <td><b>Sales (US$bil);

From 2020 to 2025, we estimate the company's sales to increase at a CAGR of 43.4%. We have assumed Zhihu to start generating positive operating margins in 2024 (4.8%) and have assumed its operating margin to increase to 10.1% in 2025. We have assumed the company's sales to reach 8.21 billion RMB ($1.26 billion) and operating profit of 0.83 billion RMB ($0.13 billion) in 2025.</p>\n<p><b>Sales Breakdown</b></p>\n<p>Advertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. We estimate advertising as a percentage of revenues to gradually decline in the next five years as it is offset by the faster growing Paid Memberships and Content Commerce Solutions. We estimate advertising as a percentage of sales to decline to 34.1% in 2021 and 22.3% in 2025.</p>\n<p>Paid Memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. We have assumed Paid Membership revenues as a percentage of total revenues to increase to 31.5% in 2021 and 37.8% in 2025.</p>\n<p>Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans. We have assumed Content Commerce Solutions as a percentage of total revenue to jump from 10% in 2020 to 17.8% in 2021 and 32.3% in 2025.</p>\n<p><b>Gross Margins</b></p>\n<p>The company's gross margins improved from 46.6% in 2019 to 56.0% in 2020, driven by an overall improving business scalability. We have assumed further improvements in gross margins to 57.4% in 2021 and 62.3% in 2025.</p>\n<p><b>Total Operating Expenses and Operating Margins</b></p>\n<p>Total operating expenses as a percentage of revenues declined significantly from 204.4% in 2019 to 100.6% in 2020. We expect this ratio to improve further to 79% in 2021, 69.2% in 2022, and 57.2% in 2025. The bulk of the improvements in operating expenses is coming from lower SG&amp;A and R&amp;D expenses as a percentage of revenues in the next five years.</p>\n<table>\n <colgroup></colgroup>\n

creators that contributed 315 million questions and answers. In 4Q 2020, the company had 75.7 million average monthly active users, up 33% YoY. One of the key strengths of the company is that it is recognized as one of the most trustworthy online content communities and regarded as providing one of the highest quality content in China. Zhihu has tried to capitalize on its large user base to provide numerous multimedia functions including live streaming, e-commerce, online education, and other video content.</p>\n<p>In August 2019, Zhihu received $434 million in funding from leading investors including Baidu and Kuaishou Technology, valuing the company at $3.5 billion. Given that the company had $97 million in sales in 2019, this would suggest a P/S valuation multiple of 36x. If we take the same P/S multiple apply to the company's 2020 sales of $207 million, this would suggest an implied valuation of $7.5 billion.</p>\n<p>Zhihu was originally developed as a question and answer online community in 2010. At the end of 2020, there were a total of 315 million Q&amp;As spanning more than 1,000 verticals and 571,000 topics. Zhihu is one of the top five comprehensive online content communities in China, in terms of average mobile MAUs and revenue in 2020. The company uses artificial intelligence, cloud, and big data algorithms to improve the optimization of its content and services.</p>\n<p><b>Major Shareholders of Zhihu</b></p>\n<p>The founder &amp; CEOZhou Yuanowns an 8.2% stake in the company (but 46.6% voting rights). Sinovation Ventures owns a 13.1% stake and Tencent Holdings Ltd. owns a 12.3% stake of Zhihu.</p>\n<p><b>Key Demographics</b></p>\n<p>The diagram below provides some of the key demographics of Zhihu user base. Males accounted for 56.9% of total users. People under 30 years old accounted for 78.7% of its total user base. Tier I and new tier I cities represented 52.6% of total user base. Many of the users of Zhihu are students and white collar professionals.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/524d689472daad1c99491d74dfdbfe24\" tg-width=\"295\" tg-height=\"389\"><span>Source: Author, from Company data</span></p>\n<p><b>Revenue Breakdown</b></p>\n<p>Advertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The company's advertising revenue is mainly driven by its MAUs and advertising revenue per MAU. The company's MAUs increased by 42.7% YoY to 68.5 million in 2020. The company started its online advertising business in 2016 and introduced paid content in 2018.</p>\n<p>Paid memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. Average monthly members jumped by 311.5% YoY to 2.36 million in 2020, which is a testament of an increasing number of customers that value the premium content available on Zhihu.</p>\n<p>In March 2019, the company introduced the Yan Selection membership program, making it the first payment-based questions &amp; answers community. It provides its members with unlimited access to about 3.4 million paid content including online lectures, columns, audio books, and e-journals. This is one of the biggest strengths of the company as it shows how high quality data and content can generate serious amount of revenues and it also provides a more steady monthly revenue inflow.</p>\n<p>Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans, assigning the most relevant content creators to interested users, and facilitating content creation.</p>\n<p>China's content-commerce solution market is expected to be one of the fastest growing sectors in the next several years. According to CIC Consultancy, China's content-commerce solution market is expected to enjoy a strong CAGR growth of 46.4% from 2019 to 2025 (112.3 billion RMB).</p>\n<p><b>Market Opportunities</b></p>\n<p><b>China’s Online Content Communities Market Size</b></p>\n<p>Online content communities refer to UGC (user generated content)-focused (including PUGC (professional user generated content) focused online content market players where content creators are also users, who are actively engaged within the communities. The content communities generally can stimulate higher level of user engagement, more interactive user experience, and enjoy lower content cost, compared to PGC (professionally generated content) players. PGC is content created by the branded company or organization.</p>\n<p>China's online content communities market size increased from 38.6 billion RMB in 2015 to 275.8 billion RMB in 2019 and is further expected to rise to 1.3 trillion RMB in 2025, representing a CAGR of 30.3% from 2019 to 2025, which is higher than the overall online content market growth.</p>\n<p>China's online content community market has more diversified monetization channels including online advertising, paid membership, content e-commerce, content-commerce solutions, virtual gifting in live streaming, online games, and online education services. In comparison, the US online content community's monetization is mainly through advertising.</p>\n<p>One of the major positives about the company is the growing trend of more Chinese consumers that are willing to pay money for higher quality content. The number of paying users in China’s online content communities is expected to increase at a CAGR of 17.1% between 2019 and 2025, which means an increase of 360.4 million extra paying users of online content communities to 588.2 million in 2025.</p>\n<p><b>China's Online Content Market</b></p>\n<p>China's online content market tripled from 2015 to reach 1.2 trillion RMB in 2019. This market is expected to increase to 3.7 trillion RMB in 2025, representing a CAGR of 21.4% from 2019 to 2025.</p>\n<p><b>China’s Online Content Market Size (in terms of revenue), 2015-2025E</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/69a7db9cacf26245273702a255aabdb8\" tg-width=\"573\" tg-height=\"258\"><span>Source: CIC Report</span></p>\n<p><b>Market Size of China’s Online Content Communities (in terms of revenue),2015-2025E</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aee42792caf4aa2cbdcd17f757a75727\" tg-width=\"584\" tg-height=\"285\"><span>Source: CIC Report</span></p>\n<p><b>China’s Paid Membership Market Size (in terms of revenue), 2015-2025E</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/77ff121d78cb1dd922d524a78570152e\" tg-width=\"520\" tg-height=\"286\"><span>Source: CIC Report</span></p>\n<p><b>Content-commerce solutions</b></p>\n<p>To provide integrated marketing services, the online content communities provide content-commerce solutions for content creation, content distribution, and content conversion.

Although the COVID-19 situation currently is not as dire as a year ago, there are still numerous social distancing measures. In the post COVID-19 environment, this could lead to a slower growth rate of its sales and profit improvement.</li>\n <li>Censorship related risks - Given that Zhihu is one of the largest Q&amp;A websites in China, it is likely to face numerous censorship related issues from the Chinese government and this remains one of the key risk factors.</li>\n <li>Recent share price declines of Chinese tech giants and Chinese tech IPOs in the US - There have been some big declines in share prices of several Chinese tech giants includingAlibaba Group (9988 HK)andTencent Holdings (700 HK). Share prices of other Chinese tech giants such as JD.com and Meituan have also declined in the past few weeks but not as much as Alibaba and Tencent. In addition,Cloopen Group Holding Ltd. (RAAS US),which recently completed its IPO in February saw its share price surge in the first day but it has dropped by more than 50% since then.</li>\n <li>Mostly text-based content platform - For now, most of Zhihu's content tend to be text-based, although the company is offering more video and non-text-based content. For the users that prefer non-text-based content, this could deter some people from becoming paid members or users of Zhihu. However, the company is actively making efforts to provide more videos, live streaming, and other non-text-based content. These efforts to provide a more diversified source of content could result in higher operating costs.</li>\n <li>Lack of profitability - Despite strong sales growth, the company remains unprofitable with an operating margin of -44.6% in 2020.</li>\n</ul>","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>Zhihu IPO: China's Quora With Surging Sales Growth</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\">\nZhihu IPO: China's Quora With Surging Sales Growth\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-22 15:18 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4415306-zhihu-ipo-chinas-quora-with-surging-sales-growth><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nZhihu is expected to complete its IPO in the next few days.

Zhihu is basically China's Quora with surging sales growth.\nZhihu has become the largest online question and answer community in China.\nThe company generated a strong sales growth of 101.7% YoY to reach 1,352.2 million RMB in 2020. Operating margins improved from -157.9% in 2019 to -44.6% in 2020.\nOur base case and high case implied market caps of the company are $7.1 billion ($12 per share) and $9.0 billion ($15.2 per share), respectively.\nIn the first few days of trading post-IPO, we expect the company's market cap to be trading in the mid-to-high end of our valuation analysis ($12 to $15.2 per share). We have a positive view of the Zhihu IPO.\n\nPhoto by aelitta/iStock via Getty Images\nValuation Analysis\nZhihu Technology (ZH) announced its IPO terms. It plans to raise up to $632.5 million offering 55 million ADSs. The IPO price range is from $9.50 to $11.5 per share. At the midpoint of the IPO price range, the company would be valued at $6.2 billion. At the high end of the IPO price range ($11.5 per share), it would be valued at $6.8 billion. Along with the IPO, Zhihu also plans to raise $250 million in a private placement to Alibaba (BABA), JD.com(NASDAQ:JD), Tencent(OTCPK:TCEHY), and Lilith Games.\nZhihu has a similar business model as Quora where millions of people ask questions and exchange their views and experiences. Zhihu has become the largest online question and answer community in China.\nIn our valuation analysis, we have used the following seven companies below as comps that may be appropriate for Zhihu:\n\nBaidu (BIDU)\nDouYu (DOYU)\niQIYI (IQ)\nJOYY (YY)\nWeibo Corp. (WB)\nBilibili (BILI)\nKuaishouTech(OTCPK:KUASF)\n\nOur base case and high case implied market caps of the company are $7.1 billion ($12 per share) and $9.0 billion ($15.2 per share), respectively. We do believe that there will be a first day pop for this IPO and expect its market cap could reach the high end of the valuation sensitivity analysis (market cap of $9.0 billion or $15.2 per share). In the first few days of trading post IPO, we expect the company's market cap to be trading in the mid-to-high end of our valuation analysis ($12 to $15.2 per share). We have a positive view of the Zhihu IPO.\nOur base case valuation assumes our 2022E sales estimate of 3.7 billion RMB ($566 million) and apply an EV/Sales multiple of 10.4x to derive an implied EV of 38.3 billion RMB and an implied market cap of 46.1 billion RMB ($7.1 billion). The EV/Sales multiple of 10.4x is based on a 20% premium to the average of Kuaishou Tech andBilibili'sEV/Sales multiples in 2022.\nWe believe the 20% premium to the average of these two companies is appropriate for Zhihu mainly due to the latter company's much higher sales growth. For example, Zhihu's sales increased by 101.7% YoY in 2020. In comparison,Bilibili'ssales increased by 77% YoY and the consensus expects Kuaishou Tech's sales to increase by 50.5% YoY in 2020. The consensus expects Bilibili and Kuaishou Tech's sales to increase by 69.8% YoY and 59.3% YoY, respectively in 2021.\nIn comparison, we expect Zhihu's sales to increase by 74.9% in 2021. Despite higher sales growth for Zhihu, Bilibili and Kuaishou Tech have much larger market caps and are closer to achieving positive operating margins. With regards to Zhihu, despite slowing growth rate for its advertising revenues, its Paid Memberships and Content Commerce Revenues are exploding higher and many investors are likely to give higher points on these positive growth factors.\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Analysis\n\n\nCompanies\nMkt Cap (US$ bil)\nSales (US$bil); 2019\nSales (US$bil); 2020\nSales (US$bil); 2021E\nSales (US$bil); 2022E\n\n\nBaidu\n86.7\n15.5\n15.5\n19.4\n22.2\n\n\nDouYu\n4.2\n1.1\n1.5\n1.6\n1.9\n\n\niQIYI\n21.9\n4.2\n4.3\n5.0\n5.7\n\n\nJOYY\n9.3\n3.7\n4.0\n4.4\n5.1\n\n\nWeibo\n11.8\n1.8\n1.7\n2.0\n2.2\n\n\nBilibili\n38.4\n1.0\n1.7\n3.0\n4.2\n\n\nKuaishou Tech\n170.5\n5.7\n8.5\n13.6\n19.9\n\n\nSource: Author, from Company data, Yahoo Finance, Marketscreener\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Analysis\n\n\nCompanies\nP/S (2019)\nP/S (2020)\nP/S (2021E)\nP/S (2022E)\n\n\nBaidu\n5.6\n5.6\n4.5\n3.9\n\n\nDouYu\n4.0\n2.9\n2.6\n2.2\n\n\niQIYI\n5.2\n5.1\n4.4\n3.9\n\n\nJOYY\n2.5\n2.4\n2.1\n1.8\n\n\nWeibo\n6.7\n7.1\n5.9\n5.4\n\n\nBilibili\n39.1\n22.1\n13.0\n9.1\n\n\nKuaishou Tech\n30.1\n20.0\n12.6\n8.6\n\n\nAverage\n13.3\n9.3\n6.4\n5.0\n\n\nSource: Author, from Company data, Yahoo Finance, Marketscreener\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Analysis\n\n\n% Sales Change YoY\n2020\n2021E\n2022E\n\n\nBaidu\n-0.1%\n25.2%\n14.2%\n\n\nDouYu\n39.5%\n9.5%\n18.7%\n\n\niQIYI\n2.6%\n16.1%\n13.4%\n\n\nJOYY\n6.6%\n11.4%\n16.4%\n\n\nWeibo\n-5.4%\n19.2%\n10.4%\n\n\nBilibili\n77.4%\n69.8%\n43.1%\n\n\nKuaishou Tech\n50.5%\n59.3%\n46.6%\n\n\nAverage\n24.4%\n30.1%\n23.2%\n\n\nSource: Author, from Company data, Yahoo Finance, Marketscreener\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Analysis\n\n\nCompanies\nOperating Profit/(Loss) (US$bil); 2019\nOperating Profit/(Loss) (US$bil); 2020\nOperating Profit/(Loss) (US$bil); 2021E\nOperating Profit/(Loss) (US$bil); 2022E\n\n\nBaidu\n0.9\n3.2\n3.0\n3.7\n\n\nDouYu\n-0.1\n0.1\n0.0\n0.2\n\n\niQIYI\n-1.3\n-0.9\n-0.7\n-0.2\n\n\nJOYY\n0.4\n0.4\n0.5\n0.6\n\n\nWeibo\n0.6\n0.5\n0.6\n0.7\n\n\nBilibili\n-0.2\n-0.4\n-0.5\n-0.2\n\n\nKuaishou Tech\n0.1\n-1.6\n-1.1\n1.4\n\n\nSource: Author, from Company data, Yahoo Finance, Marketscreener\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Analysis\n\n\nCompanies\nOperating Margin (2019); (%)\nOperating Margin (2020); (%)\nOperating Margin (2021E); (%)\nOperating Margin (2022E); (%)\n\n\nBaidu\n5.9%\n20.3%\n15.6%\n16.7%\n\n\nDouYu\n-6.9%\n6.8%\n1.2%\n8.3%\n\n\niQIYI\n-31.7%\n-20.2%\n-13.2%\n-3.8%\n\n\nJOYY\n10.2%\n9.4%\n10.4%\n12.3%\n\n\nWeibo\n33.9%\n28.6%\n28.1%\n31.0%\n\n\nBilibili\n-21.4%\n-25.9%\n-18.2%\n-4.0%\n\n\nKuaishou Tech\n1.8%\n-18.4%\n-7.9%\n7.1%\n\n\nAverage\n-1.2%\n0.1%\n2.3%\n9.7%\n\n\nSource: Author, from Company data, Yahoo Finance, Marketscreener\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Analysis\n\n\nCompanies\nEV/S (2019)\nEV/S (2020)\nEV/S (2021E)\nEV/S (2022E)\n\n\nBaidu\n4.8\n4.8\n3.8\n3.3\n\n\nDouYu\n2.9\n2.1\n1.9\n1.6\n\n\niQIYI\n5.4\n5.3\n4.6\n4.0\n\n\nJOYY\n1.8\n1.7\n1.5\n1.3\n\n\nWeibo\n6.8\n7.2\n6.0\n5.4\n\n\nBilibili\n38.5\n21.7\n12.8\n8.9\n\n\nKuaishou Tech\n29.5\n19.6\n12.3\n8.4\n\n\nAverage\n12.8\n8.9\n6.1\n4.7\n\n\nSource: Author, from Company data, Yahoo Finance, Marketscreener\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Sensitivity Analysis (Implied EV)\n\n\n(million RMB)\nEV/S;2022E\n\n\nLow\nBase\nHigh\n\n\n9.4\n10.4\n12.5\n\n\nLow\n3,315\n31,030\n34,478\n41,373\n\n\nEstimated sales (million RMB); 2022E\nBase\n3,683\n34,478\n38,308\n45,970\n\n\nHigh\n4,052\n37,925\n42,139\n50,567\n\n\nSource: Our Estimates\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Sensitivity Analysis (Implied Market Cap)\n\n\n(million RMB)\nEV/S; 2022E\n\n\nLow\nBase\nHigh\n\n\n9.4\n10.4\n12.5\n\n\nLow\n3,315\n38,807\n42,255\n49,150\n\n\nEstimated sales (million RMB); 2022E\nBase\n3,683\n42,255\n46,086\n53,747\n\n\nHigh\n4,052\n45,703\n49,917\n58,344\n\n\nSource: Our Estimates\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Sensitivity Analysis (Implied Market Cap)\n\n\n(US$ million)\nEV/S; 2022E\n\n\nLow\nBase\nHigh\n\n\n9.4\n10.4\n12.5\n\n\nLow\n509\n5,961\n6,491\n7,550\n\n\nEstimated sales (million USD); 2022E\nBase\n566\n6,491\n7,079\n8,256\n\n\nHigh\n622\n7,020\n7,668\n8,962\n\n\nSource: Our Estimates\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Comparable Companies Valuation Sensitivity Analysis (Implied Price Per Share)\n\n\n(US$)\nEV/S; 2022E\n\n\nLow\nBase\nHigh\n\n\n9.4\n10.4\n12.5\n\n\nLow\n509\n10.1\n11.0\n12.8\n\n\nEstimated sales (million USD); 2022E\nBase\n566\n11.0\n12.0\n14.0\n\n\nHigh\n622\n11.9\n13.0\n15.2\n\n\nSource: Our Estimates\n\n\n\nZhihu Income Statement Forecast\nWe estimate the company's sales to increase by 74.9% YoY to reach 2.36 billion RMB in 2021 and increase by 55.8% YoY to reach 3.68 billion RMB in 2022. From 2020 to 2025, we estimate the company's sales to increase at a CAGR of 43.4%. We have assumed Zhihu to start generating positive operating margins in 2024 (4.8%) and have assumed its operating margin to increase to 10.1% in 2025. We have assumed the company's sales to reach 8.21 billion RMB ($1.26 billion) and operating profit of 0.83 billion RMB ($0.13 billion) in 2025.\nSales Breakdown\nAdvertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. We estimate advertising as a percentage of revenues to gradually decline in the next five years as it is offset by the faster growing Paid Memberships and Content Commerce Solutions. We estimate advertising as a percentage of sales to decline to 34.1% in 2021 and 22.3% in 2025.\nPaid Memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. We have assumed Paid Membership revenues as a percentage of total revenues to increase to 31.5% in 2021 and 37.8% in 2025.\nContent Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans. We have assumed Content Commerce Solutions as a percentage of total revenue to jump from 10% in 2020 to 17.8% in 2021 and 32.3% in 2025.\nGross Margins\nThe company's gross margins improved from 46.6% in 2019 to 56.0% in 2020, driven by an overall improving business scalability. We have assumed further improvements in gross margins to 57.4% in 2021 and 62.3% in 2025.\nTotal Operating Expenses and Operating Margins\nTotal operating expenses as a percentage of revenues declined significantly from 204.4% in 2019 to 100.6% in 2020. We expect this ratio to improve further to 79% in 2021, 69.2% in 2022, and 57.2% in 2025. The bulk of the improvements in operating expenses is coming from lower SG&A and R&D expenses as a percentage of revenues in the next five years.\n\n\n\n\nZhihu Income Statement Forecast\n\n\n(RMB mn)\n2019\n2020\n2021E\n2022E\n2023E\n2024E\n2025E\n\n\nRevenue\n670.5\n1,352.2\n2,364.8\n3,683.3\n5,180.8\n6,691.5\n8,212.6\n\n\nAdvertising\n577.4\n843.3\n1,076.2\n1,254.6\n1,441.8\n1,635.4\n1,833.0\n\n\nPaid Membership\n88.0\n320.5\n743.8\n1,333.4\n1,967.6\n2,529.0\n3,106.3\n\n\nContent Commerce Solutions\n0.6\n135.8\n421.0\n863.0\n1,406.7\n2,027.1\n2,652.8\n\n\nOthers\n4.5\n52.7\n123.7\n232.3\n364.8\n500.0\n620.5\n\n\nCost of Revenue\n358.2\n594.4\n1,008.3\n1,523.4\n2,078.5\n2,604.0\n3,100.1\n\n\nGross Profit\n312.3\n757.8\n1,356.5\n2,159.9\n3,102.3\n4,087.4\n5,112.5\n\n\nSG&A Expenses\n766.5\n734.8\n963.7\n1,275.9\n1,525.5\n1,773.2\n1,958.7\n\n\nR&D Expenses\n351.0\n329.8\n490.2\n725.3\n969.2\n1,189.2\n1,386.6\n\n\nG&A Expenses\n253.3\n296.2\n414.3\n548.6\n655.9\n804.7\n938.3\n\n\nTotal Operating Expenses\n1,370.7\n1,360.7\n1,868.3\n2,549.8\n3,150.5\n3,767.2\n4,283.6\n\n\nLoss from Operations\n-1,058.5\n-602.9\n-511.8\n-389.9\n-48.2\n320.2\n828.9\n\n\nNon-Operating Items\n54.3\n86.4\n103.5\n51.8\n31.1\n18.6\n11.2\n\n\nEarnings Before Tax\n-1,004.2\n-516.5\n-408.3\n-338.2\n-17.2\n338.9\n840.1\n\n\nIncome Tax\n0.0\n1.1\n0.0\n0.0\n0.0\n0.0\n0.0\n\n\nNet Loss\n-1,004.2\n-517.6\n-408.3\n-338.2\n-17.2\n338.9\n840.1\n\n\n\n% of Sales\n2019\n2020\n2021E\n2022E\n2023E\n2024E\n2025E\n\n\nRevenue\n100.0%\n100.0%\n100.0%\n100.0%\n100.0%\n100.0%\n100.0%\n\n\nAdvertising\n86.1%\n62.4%\n45.5%\n34.1%\n27.8%\n24.4%\n22.3%\n\n\nPaid Membership\n13.1%\n23.7%\n31.5%\n36.2%\n38.0%\n37.8%\n37.8%\n\n\nContent Commerce Solutions\n0.1%\n10.0%\n17.8%\n23.4%\n27.2%\n30.3%\n32.3%\n\n\nOthers\n0.7%\n3.9%\n5.2%\n6.3%\n7.0%\n7.5%\n7.6%\n\n\nCost of Revenue\n53.4%\n44.0%\n42.6%\n41.4%\n40.1%\n38.9%\n37.7%\n\n\nGross Profit\n46.6%\n56.0%\n57.4%\n58.6%\n59.9%\n61.1%\n62.3%\n\n\nSG&A Expenses\n114.3%\n54.3%\n40.8%\n34.6%\n29.4%\n26.5%\n23.8%\n\n\nR&D Expenses\n52.3%\n24.4%\n20.7%\n19.7%\n18.7%\n17.8%\n16.9%\n\n\nG&A Expenses\n37.8%\n21.9%\n17.5%\n14.9%\n12.7%\n12.0%\n11.4%\n\n\nTotal Operating Expenses\n204.4%\n100.6%\n79.0%\n69.2%\n60.8%\n56.3%\n52.2%\n\n\nLoss from Operations\n-157.9%\n-44.6%\n-21.6%\n-10.6%\n-0.9%\n4.8%\n10.1%\n\n\n\n% Change YoY\n2020\n2021E\n2022E\n2023E\n2024E\n2025E\n\n\nRevenue\n101.7%\n74.9%\n55.8%\n40.7%\n29.2%\n22.7%\n\n\nAdvertising\n46.0%\n27.6%\n16.6%\n14.9%\n13.4%\n12.1%\n\n\nPaid Membership\n264.2%\n132.1%\n79.3%\n47.6%\n28.5%\n22.8%\n\n\nContent Commerce Solutions\n21118.8%\n210.0%\n105.0%\n63.0%\n44.1%\n30.9%\n\n\nOthers\n1081.6%\n135.0%\n87.8%\n57.0%\n37.1%\n24.1%\n\n\nCost of Revenue\n65.9%\n69.6%\n51.1%\n36.4%\n25.3%\n19.1%\n\n\nGross Profit\n142.7%\n79.0%\n59.2%\n43.6%\n31.8%\n25.1%\n\n\nSG&A Expenses\n-4.1%\n31.2%\n32.4%\n19.6%\n16.2%\n10.5%\n\n\nR&D Expenses\n-6.1%\n48.7%\n48.0%\n33.6%\n22.7%\n16.6%\n\n\nG&A Expenses\n16.9%\n39.9%\n32.4%\n19.6%\n22.7%\n16.6%\n\n\nTotal Operating Expenses\n-0.7%\n37.3%\n36.5%\n23.6%\n19.6%\n13.7%\n\n\nLoss from Operations\n-43.0%\n-15.1%\n-23.8%\n-87.6%\nTB\n158.8%\n\n\nSource: Author, from Company data; TB = turned black\n\n\n\nSource: Author, from Company data, Our Estimates\nSource: Author, from Company data, Our Estimates\nSource: Author, from Company data, Our Estimates\nCompany Background\nAt the end of 2020, Zhihu had more than 43.1 million cumulative content creators that contributed 315 million questions and answers. In 4Q 2020, the company had 75.7 million average monthly active users, up 33% YoY. One of the key strengths of the company is that it is recognized as one of the most trustworthy online content communities and regarded as providing one of the highest quality content in China. Zhihu has tried to capitalize on its large user base to provide numerous multimedia functions including live streaming, e-commerce, online education, and other video content.\nIn August 2019, Zhihu received $434 million in funding from leading investors including Baidu and Kuaishou Technology, valuing the company at $3.5 billion. Given that the company had $97 million in sales in 2019, this would suggest a P/S valuation multiple of 36x. If we take the same P/S multiple apply to the company's 2020 sales of $207 million, this would suggest an implied valuation of $7.5 billion.\nZhihu was originally developed as a question and answer online community in 2010. At the end of 2020, there were a total of 315 million Q&As spanning more than 1,000 verticals and 571,000 topics. Zhihu is one of the top five comprehensive online content communities in China, in terms of average mobile MAUs and revenue in 2020. The company uses artificial intelligence, cloud, and big data algorithms to improve the optimization of its content and services.\nMajor Shareholders of Zhihu\nThe founder & CEOZhou Yuanowns an 8.2% stake in the company (but 46.6% voting rights). Sinovation Ventures owns a 13.1% stake and Tencent Holdings Ltd. owns a 12.3% stake of Zhihu.\nKey Demographics\nThe diagram below provides some of the key demographics of Zhihu user base. Males accounted for 56.9% of total users. People under 30 years old accounted for 78.7% of its total user base. Tier I and new tier I cities represented 52.6% of total user base. Many of the users of Zhihu are students and white collar professionals.\nSource: Author, from Company data\nRevenue Breakdown\nAdvertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The company's advertising revenue is mainly driven by its MAUs and advertising revenue per MAU. The company's MAUs increased by 42.7% YoY to 68.5 million in 2020. The company started its online advertising business in 2016 and introduced paid content in 2018.\nPaid memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. Average monthly members jumped by 311.5% YoY to 2.36 million in 2020, which is a testament of an increasing number of customers that value the premium content available on Zhihu.\nIn March 2019, the company introduced the Yan Selection membership program, making it the first payment-based questions & answers community. It provides its members with unlimited access to about 3.4 million paid content including online lectures, columns, audio books, and e-journals. This is one of the biggest strengths of the company as it shows how high quality data and content can generate serious amount of revenues and it also provides a more steady monthly revenue inflow.\nContent Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans, assigning the most relevant content creators to interested users, and facilitating content creation.\nChina's content-commerce solution market is expected to be one of the fastest growing sectors in the next several years. According to CIC Consultancy, China's content-commerce solution market is expected to enjoy a strong CAGR growth of 46.4% from 2019 to 2025 (112.3 billion RMB).\nMarket Opportunities\nChina’s Online Content Communities Market Size\nOnline content communities refer to UGC (user generated content)-focused (including PUGC (professional user generated content) focused online content market players where content creators are also users, who are actively engaged within the communities. The content communities generally can stimulate higher level of user engagement, more interactive user experience, and enjoy lower content cost, compared to PGC (professionally generated content) players. PGC is content created by the branded company or organization.\nChina's online content communities market size increased from 38.6 billion RMB in 2015 to 275.8 billion RMB in 2019 and is further expected to rise to 1.3 trillion RMB in 2025, representing a CAGR of 30.3% from 2019 to 2025, which is higher than the overall online content market growth.\nChina's online content community market has more diversified monetization channels including online advertising, paid membership, content e-commerce, content-commerce solutions, virtual gifting in live streaming, online games, and online education services. In comparison, the US online content community's monetization is mainly through advertising.\nOne of the major positives about the company is the growing trend of more Chinese consumers that are willing to pay money for higher quality content. The number of paying users in China’s online content communities is expected to increase at a CAGR of 17.1% between 2019 and 2025, which means an increase of 360.4 million extra paying users of online content communities to 588.2 million in 2025.\nChina's Online Content Market\nChina's online content market tripled from 2015 to reach 1.2 trillion RMB in 2019.

China's content commerce solution market is expected to grow from 11.4 billion RMB in 2019 to 112.3 billion RMB in 2025, at a CAGR of 46.4%.\nChina’s Content-Commerce Solution Market Size (in terms of revenue), 2015-2025E\nSource: CIC Report\n\nEmployees- At the end of 2020, the company had 1,651 full time employees, all of whom were based in China, primarily at its headquarters in Beijing, China.\n\n\n\n\nZhihui Employees Breakdown (At the end of 2020)\n\n\nFunction\nNumber of employees\n% of Total Employees\n\n\nContent and Content-Related Operations\n461\n27.9%\n\n\nResearch and Development\n672\n40.7%\n\n\nSales and Marketing\n337\n20.4%\n\n\nGeneral Administration\n181\n11.0%\n\n\nTotal\n1,651\n100.0%\n\n\nSource: Company data\n\n\n\nKey Investment Risks\n\nPost COVID-19 environment - The COVID-19 has had a positive impact on the company as millions of people in China spent more time at home and increased their time on the Internet and mobile phones which led to usage of more Internet services such as Zhihu. Although the COVID-19 situation currently is not as dire as a year ago, there are still numerous social distancing measures. In the post COVID-19 environment, this could lead to a slower growth rate of its sales and profit improvement.\nCensorship related risks - Given that Zhihu is one of the largest Q&A websites in China, it is likely to face numerous censorship related issues from the Chinese government and this remains one of the key risk factors.\nRecent share price declines of Chinese tech giants and Chinese tech IPOs in the US - There have been some big declines in share prices of several Chinese tech giants includingAlibaba Group (9988 HK)andTencent Holdings (700 HK). Share prices of other Chinese tech giants such as JD.com and Meituan have also declined in the past few weeks but not as much as Alibaba and Tencent. In addition,Cloopen Group Holding Ltd. (RAAS US),which recently completed its IPO in February saw its share price surge in the first day but it has dropped by more than 50% since then.\nMostly text-based content platform - For now, most of Zhihu's content tend to be text-based, although the company is offering more video and non-text-based content. For the users that prefer non-text-based content, this could deter some people from becoming paid members or users of Zhihu. However, the company is actively making efforts to provide more videos, live streaming, and other non-text-based content. These efforts to provide a more diversified source of content could result in higher operating costs.\nLack of profitability - Despite strong sales growth, the company remains unprofitable with an operating margin of -44.6% in 2020.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":271,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":367331263,"gmtCreate":1614909103652,"gmtModify":1704776845427,"author":{"id":"3559427160267055","authorId":"3559427160267055","name":"Champu13","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f6277b7f77b4310d811ee73420346d4","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3559427160267055","idStr":"3559427160267055"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Gg","listText":"Gg","text":"Gg","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/367331263","repostId":"1151606825","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1151606825","pubTimestamp":1614903516,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1151606825?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-05 08:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nasdaq ends sharply lower after Powell comments","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1151606825","media":"Reuters","summary":"(Reuters) - Wall Street ended sharply lower on Thursday, leaving the Nasdaq down nearly 10% from its","content":"<p>(Reuters) - Wall Street ended sharply lower on Thursday, leaving the Nasdaq down nearly 10% from its February record high, after remarks from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell disappointed investors worried about rising longer-term U.S. bond yields.</p><p>A decline of 10% from its February record high would confirm the Nasdaq is in a correction.</p><p>The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield spiked to 1.533% after Powell’s comments, which did not point to changes in the Fed’s asset purchases to tackle the recent jump in yields.
