As a result, after the earnings, the stock price fell by 30%.</p><p>We published an article titled &#34;PDD Holdings Challenge To Alibaba&#39;s Reign&#34; in November 2023. We think the moment is probably near after examining its finances, the dynamics of its competitors, and the management&#39;s remarks. We will explain it in the sections that follow, and look more closely at each of the aforementioned issues separately.</p><h2 id=\"id_336546728\">Change in Long-Term Profitability Outlook</h2><h3 id=\"id_2605617804\">Shift in Business Model</h3><p>As a result of its efforts to invest in the supply chain and reduce transaction fees for merchants who carry premium brands, management anticipates a long-term drop in the company&#39;s margin.</p><p>Some background information for investors:</p><ol start=\"1\" style=\"\"><li><p>large brands like Nike, Apple, and others are referred to as high-quality brand merchants;</p></li><li><p>PDD is well-known for offering affordable white-label products;</p></li><li><p>PDD&#39;s main source of income is the sale of advertising to these white-label brands.</p></li></ol><p>Therefore, PDD&#39;s decision to concentrate on high-quality brands indicates that it will lower its support for while-label brand merchants and concentrate on large brand merchants. This initiative could therefore suggest a total overhaul of the business paradigm as it creates a conflict of interest for its while-label brand merchants. As a result, there is a lot of uncertainty in the market regarding the timing and outcome of this transition.</p><h3 id=\"id_177266955\">Q2 Financial Performance</h3><p>PD reported an 86% increase in revenues and a 156% increase in operating profits in its Q2 financial report. The revenue growth rate from transaction services and online marketing services both decreased from the previous quarter. This probably reflects management&#39;s decision to forego the white-label brand in favor of investing in a high-quality brand. Therefore, the market is confused about where the company is going.</p><h3 id=\"id_1134731684\">Strategic Implications</h3><p>Investors should, nevertheless, use common sense and realize that if the business is riding high, there should be no reason to let it go.</p><p>When comparing PDD&#39;s success to that of Alibaba (BABA), the whole picture becomes more evident. Over the past few quarters, PDD has increased its margin while Alibaba has remained silent. Nonetheless, PDD&#39;s non-GAAP operating margin climbed to 36% (calculated from its earnings reports) in Q2 2024 from 32.8% in Q1, above the EBITDA margin of 31.6% (calculated from its earnings reports) for Alibaba&#39;s commerce group (Taobao, TMall, and International Digital Commerce Group only) in this quarter.</p><p>P.S. Due to its low amortization and depreciation costs, PDD&#39;s non-GAAP operating margin is comparable to Alibaba&#39;s EBITDA margin.</p><p>Because PDD currently has a larger margin than Alibaba, PDD now has a margin advantage to compete on price over Alibaba. Furthermore, PDD&#39;s advantage against Alibaba in terms of commerce revenues was further reduced. With revenues of just 68% of Alibaba&#39;s, it expanded at a rate of 86% year over year. PDD has a good performance when compared to Alibaba&#39;s commerce group growth, which is 4% year over year.</p><p>With its double investment in price, PDD has a good possibility of surpassing Alibaba in a few quarters if all goes according to plan. Thus, it makes sense to comprehend management&#39;s choice this quarter from these angles. Thus, we interpret the PDD management&#39;s statement as an aggressive attempt to go after Alibaba rather than changes in its business model.</p><h2 id=\"id_596810965\">Geopolitical Risk and Investment Strategy</h2><p>There is indeed some degree of geopolitical risk uncertainty since developing nations may impose higher taxes on cheap goods imported from China. Nonetheless, management chose to raise rather than decrease investment, citing their belief that present investment rewards outweigh overall risk factors.</p><h3 id=\"id_681780368\">Early Indicators of Success</h3><p>The management gave investors some very insightful numbers, albeit sparingly, stating that they had seen early indications of the strategies&#39; potential for success.</p><blockquote><p>The number of new merchants and new products support our platforms saw meaningful growth. In the first week of June 18, the number of merchants participating in the 10 Billion Program grew by over 90% year-on-year, and the number of agricultural merchants increased by 83% year-on-year. Our platform also attracted a great number of new merchants in categories such as electronics, home appliances and cosmetics.</p></blockquote><p>If they are successful in adding additional merchants to the platform, it appears to us that the business is expanding rather than experiencing significant challenges. And if the management is indeed confident in its actions, then holding back on buybacks now makes sense. Even though it is true that a lack of buybacks makes investing in PDD shares less appealing. While we are not happy with their investor communications, we would rather see management properly designated for long-term priorities.</p><h3 id=\"id_4203036130\">Financial Management and Cash Reserves</h3><p>We do believe that PDD used conservative financial management, based on its historical track records. PDD kept increasing its cash reserves. PDD was close to Alibaba&#39;s $61 billion in cash and cash equivalent, with $38 billion in cash and cash equivalent on hand and just $720 million in convertible debt. This indicates to us that PDD is prepared for battle.</p><h2 id=\"id_1006610899\">Valuation</h2><h3 id=\"id_2864969942\">Base Case</h3><p>We revise our DCF model in light of its most recent financial data.</p><p>PDD is currently a highly successful and competitive business. In the worst scenario, PDD has to return to concentrating on white-label merchants since it is unable to draw in enough high-caliber brands. We believe that PDD has enough time to swiftly modify its strategy if things don&#39;t go according to plan, especially considering the size of its current user base.</p><p>Despite that, we still believe the company should continue to grow and eventually challenge Alibaba long term. However, for conservative reasons, we assume that the company will only grow by 3% annually after 2024 and will eventually maintain a free cash flow margin of 32%. This indicates that if investors purchase at the current price, there is a 48% upside. (see below chart)</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/bc367f09bc0f43756a746cddf4c7aeb3\" tg-width=\"610\" tg-height=\"108\"/></p><p>DCF valuation (LEL)</p><p></p><h3 id=\"id_668999533\">Bear Case</h3><p>To evaluate its valuation under various long-term free cash margin and terminal growth rate scenarios, we have performed a sensitivity analysis.</p><p>In the bear case, we assume that the company was subject to intense competition risk, failed to grow at a rate greater than 3% per year, and saw a decrease in its margin as a result.</p><p>It demonstrates that the stock return has a 14%-28% upside (see below chart) from the current price, even if the company faced a major obstacle and had to lower its free cash flow margin to a level of 20%-25%.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c9d5ab4464139ecf8bd63f933ac1d8e3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"128\"/></p><p>Sensitivity test (LEL)</p><p></p><h3 id=\"id_4063060221\">Bull Case</h3><p>For the bull case, we still believe the company should continue to grow and eventually challenge Alibaba long-term. Based on various terminal growth rate estimates, the stock return potential increases to 48%-129% (see below chart), as long as the company can maintain its present margin and sustain growth of more than 3% annually.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/3ac7972bc43143ae957f3befda542472\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"125\"/></p><p>Sensitivity test (LEL)</p><p></p><p>As a result, it seems that the upside risk is greater than the downside risk in both scenarios. In our opinion, the stock was considerably oversold following today&#39;s earnings. We are a buyer at the current price.</p><h2 id=\"id_3404590141\">Risk Factors</h2><p>PDD has a track record of neither paying dividends nor buying back stock from shareholders. This strikes us as a lack of dedication to generating shareholder returns. Given that the majority of PDD&#39;s assets are located in China&#39;s main territory, there is a considerable regulatory risk that future dividend distribution to investors may be restricted. Consequently, stock price appreciation may be the only source of profit for investors. Furthermore, to us, PDD&#39;s business model paradigm shift risk is greater than geopolitical or regulatory risk. Alibaba&#39;s rapid expenditure in its overseas operations is indicative of its fierce response to the price war. Consequently, there&#39;s no assurance that PDD will be able to easily pass Alibaba in the next quarters.</p><h2 id=\"id_2987798804\">Conclusion</h2><p>Investors were undoubtedly alarmed by management&#39;s remarks about long-term margin shrinkage, business model changes, and the absence of share buybacks. But if we sit down with management, we should realize that PDD currently has a leading margin and momentum, and now is the moment when it could be able to overtake Alibaba. Our sensitivity test indicates that the upside reward more than offsets the downside risk. Consequently, we believe that fear has caused the stock to be oversold at this time. We maintain our strong buy rating as a consequence.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

As a result, after the earnings, the stock price fell by 30%.We published an article titled \"PDD Holdings Challenge To Alibaba's Reign\" in November 2023. We think the moment is probably near after examining its finances, the dynamics of its competitors, and the management's remarks. We will explain it in the sections that follow, and look more closely at each of the aforementioned issues separately.Change in Long-Term Profitability OutlookShift in Business ModelAs a result of its efforts to invest in the supply chain and reduce transaction fees for merchants who carry premium brands, management anticipates a long-term drop in the company's margin.Some background information for investors:large brands like Nike, Apple, and others are referred to as high-quality brand merchants;PDD is well-known for offering affordable white-label products;PDD's main source of income is the sale of advertising to these white-label brands.Therefore, PDD's decision to concentrate on high-quality brands indicates that it will lower its support for while-label brand merchants and concentrate on large brand merchants. This initiative could therefore suggest a total overhaul of the business paradigm as it creates a conflict of interest for its while-label brand merchants. As a result, there is a lot of uncertainty in the market regarding the timing and outcome of this transition.Q2 Financial PerformancePD reported an 86% increase in revenues and a 156% increase in operating profits in its Q2 financial report. The revenue growth rate from transaction services and online marketing services both decreased from the previous quarter. This probably reflects management's decision to forego the white-label brand in favor of investing in a high-quality brand. Therefore, the market is confused about where the company is going.Strategic ImplicationsInvestors should, nevertheless, use common sense and realize that if the business is riding high, there should be no reason to let it go.When comparing PDD's success to that of Alibaba (BABA), the whole picture becomes more evident. Over the past few quarters, PDD has increased its margin while Alibaba has remained silent. Nonetheless, PDD's non-GAAP operating margin climbed to 36% (calculated from its earnings reports) in Q2 2024 from 32.8% in Q1, above the EBITDA margin of 31.6% (calculated from its earnings reports) for Alibaba's commerce group (Taobao, TMall, and International Digital Commerce Group only) in this quarter.P.S. Due to its low amortization and depreciation costs, PDD's non-GAAP operating margin is comparable to Alibaba's EBITDA margin.Because PDD currently has a larger margin than Alibaba, PDD now has a margin advantage to compete on price over Alibaba. Furthermore, PDD's advantage against Alibaba in terms of commerce revenues was further reduced. With revenues of just 68% of Alibaba's, it expanded at a rate of 86% year over year. PDD has a good performance when compared to Alibaba's commerce group growth, which is 4% year over year.With its double investment in price, PDD has a good possibility of surpassing Alibaba in a few quarters if all goes according to plan. Thus, it makes sense to comprehend management's choice this quarter from these angles. Thus, we interpret the PDD management's statement as an aggressive attempt to go after Alibaba rather than changes in its business model.Geopolitical Risk and Investment StrategyThere is indeed some degree of geopolitical risk uncertainty since developing nations may impose higher taxes on cheap goods imported from China. Nonetheless, management chose to raise rather than decrease investment, citing their belief that present investment rewards outweigh overall risk factors.Early Indicators of SuccessThe management gave investors some very insightful numbers, albeit sparingly, stating that they had seen early indications of the strategies' potential for success.The number of new merchants and new products support our platforms saw meaningful growth. In the first week of June 18, the number of merchants participating in the 10 Billion Program grew by over 90% year-on-year, and the number of agricultural merchants increased by 83% year-on-year. Our platform also attracted a great number of new merchants in categories such as electronics, home appliances and cosmetics.If they are successful in adding additional merchants to the platform, it appears to us that the business is expanding rather than experiencing significant challenges. And if the management is indeed confident in its actions, then holding back on buybacks now makes sense. Even though it is true that a lack of buybacks makes investing in PDD shares less appealing. While we are not happy with their investor communications, we would rather see management properly designated for long-term priorities.Financial Management and Cash ReservesWe do believe that PDD used conservative financial management, based on its historical track records. PDD kept increasing its cash reserves. PDD was close to Alibaba's $61 billion in cash and cash equivalent, with $38 billion in cash and cash equivalent on hand and just $720 million in convertible debt. This indicates to us that PDD is prepared for battle.ValuationBase CaseWe revise our DCF model in light of its most recent financial data.PDD is currently a highly successful and competitive business. In the worst scenario, PDD has to return to concentrating on white-label merchants since it is unable to draw in enough high-caliber brands. We believe that PDD has enough time to swiftly modify its strategy if things don't go according to plan, especially considering the size of its current user base.Despite that, we still believe the company should continue to grow and eventually challenge Alibaba long term. However, for conservative reasons, we assume that the company will only grow by 3% annually after 2024 and will eventually maintain a free cash flow margin of 32%. This indicates that if investors purchase at the current price, there is a 48% upside. (see below chart)DCF valuation (LEL)Bear CaseTo evaluate its valuation under various long-term free cash margin and terminal growth rate scenarios, we have performed a sensitivity analysis.In the bear case, we assume that the company was subject to intense competition risk, failed to grow at a rate greater than 3% per year, and saw a decrease in its margin as a result.It demonstrates that the stock return has a 14%-28% upside (see below chart) from the current price, even if the company faced a major obstacle and had to lower its free cash flow margin to a level of 20%-25%.Sensitivity test (LEL)Bull CaseFor the bull case, we still believe the company should continue to grow and eventually challenge Alibaba long-term. Based on various terminal growth rate estimates, the stock return potential increases to 48%-129% (see below chart), as long as the company can maintain its present margin and sustain growth of more than 3% annually.Sensitivity test (LEL)As a result, it seems that the upside risk is greater than the downside risk in both scenarios. In our opinion, the stock was considerably oversold following today's earnings. We are a buyer at the current price.Risk FactorsPDD has a track record of neither paying dividends nor buying back stock from shareholders. This strikes us as a lack of dedication to generating shareholder returns. Given that the majority of PDD's assets are located in China's main territory, there is a considerable regulatory risk that future dividend distribution to investors may be restricted. Consequently, stock price appreciation may be the only source of profit for investors. Furthermore, to us, PDD's business model paradigm shift risk is greater than geopolitical or regulatory risk. Alibaba's rapid expenditure in its overseas operations is indicative of its fierce response to the price war. Consequently, there's no assurance that PDD will be able to easily pass Alibaba in the next quarters.ConclusionInvestors were undoubtedly alarmed by management's remarks about long-term margin shrinkage, business model changes, and the absence of share buybacks. But if we sit down with management, we should realize that PDD currently has a leading margin and momentum, and now is the moment when it could be able to overtake Alibaba. Our sensitivity test indicates that the upside reward more than offsets the downside risk. Consequently, we believe that fear has caused the stock to be oversold at this time. We maintain our strong buy rating as a consequence.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":67,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":227040724967480,"gmtCreate":1696494808090,"gmtModify":1696494812639,"author":{"id":"3559700461523213","authorId":"3559700461523213","name":"Dont be weak","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06b3e51be6a54224a834dd01de25f3cc","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559700461523213","authorIdStr":"3559700461523213"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please crash hard.

Previously, the company prohibited this feature and stated that those merchants who use it in their stores are in violation of Shopify’s terms and conditions. This is likely due to the fact that the company feared that it would lose a significant portion of its business as merchants would have the incentive to use Amazon’s payment system to access a greater number of customers. However, after setting aside their differences, it’s likely that by allowing its merchants to use the benefits of the Prime ecosystem once again, Shopify itself is going to benefit due to the potential increase in gross merchandise volume that could outweigh the competition risks.</p><p>Considering that the U.S. economy is expected to expand by 4.9% in Q3, it certainly looks like the partnership with Amazon could become another great growth catalyst for Shopify’s business in the end. Add to all of this the fact that the eCommerce market in the United States shows no signs of slowing down and is forecasted to grow at an aggressive double-digit rate and worth around $1.4 trillion by 2027, and it becomes obvious that Shopify has more than enough opportunities to generate meaningful returns. Even the street believes that Shopify growth story is far from over and expects the company to continue to increase its sales at a double-digit rate after making countless upward revisions in recent months.</p><p>However, despite all of this optimism, there are several things that could undermine the bullish thesis in the short-term and make Shopify’s stock an unattractive investment at the current price at this stage.</p><h2 id=\"id_3181531084\">Is The Bull Run About To End?</h2><p>While Shopify has plenty of growth catalysts, there’s a risk that the economy could underperform in the upcoming months, which could negatively affect the company’s growth prospects in the upcoming quarter. Considering that we’ve seen a surge in oil prices in recent months due to the Saudi-led oil production cuts, there’s a risk that inflation will once again rise and undermine consumer confidence. We already saw how the CPI has increased M/M in August after months of decline, and the potential rise of energy prices ahead of the winter season could certainly decrease the purchasing power of consumers.</p><p>In addition to the macro risks, there are also reasons to believe that Shopify’s stock is currently in overbought territory, and it would become much harder for it to appreciate further in the current environment, especially as the AI-led rally slowly loses momentum. Let’s not forget that the company trades at around 100 times its earnings and over 9 times its forward sales. While such an excessive valuation could’ve been ignored if the Federal Reserve had practiced a loose monetary policy, it’s hard to believe that the stock will trade at significantly higher multiples anytime soon if rates remain at the current levels for longer than expected. Even Amazon trades at lower multiples with a forward P/E of ~60x.</p><p>If the worsened economic conditions force the company to revise its growth expectations, then Shopify’s stock would likely lose a decent chance to significantly appreciate anytime soon. The company’s shares have already failed to break and remain above the $70 per share resistance level for a while.

A successful encore is nearly impossible.</p></li><li><p>Valued like a double-digit grower, 4-6% growth is much more plausible.</p></li></ul><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Investment Thesis</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is a tech giant, and the highest market capitalization stock traded on the stock market. The iPhone is the most successful consumer product ever created in the entire universe. A successful encore is nearly impossible. As the innovator of the smartphone, Apple has had unrivaled success and is a global powerhouse and dominant position the United States, especially with teenagers and young adults.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Globally, around 1 billion people have an iPhone. Since the launch of the iPhone sales is estimated to have totaled $2 trillion. Apple is the most valuable company of all time, with a market cap of $2.6 Trillion.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">However, revenue and earnings growth has slowed to the 4-6% range. This slow growth is primarily a victim of &#34;The Law of Large Numbers&#34; and Apple&#39;s on success. Additionally, Apple has not been immune to COVID-19 supply chain chokepoints and a saturated smartphone market. Most of the developed world has a smartphone so business there is replacement only and few new features warrant an upgrade. In the developing world, fewer customers can afford the luxury of purchasing the status symbol of buying an iPhone.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a67b28942b0449f6ba64c60da551001a\" alt=\"SeekingAlpha Growth Metrics\" title=\"SeekingAlpha Growth Metrics\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"647\"/><span>SeekingAlpha Growth Metrics</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>SeekingAlpha</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Nonetheless, Apple is still priced as a growth stock with a 27.8 PE (Price to Earnings ratio). Given that AAPL had a 12 PE in 2013 when its 8.6% 10-year CAGR revenue was still in front of them, we would not be surprised to see the PE fall to this level which would be more appropriate given its low forward expected growth. Apple has been one of the greatest investments of all time. I hope you own it and are in a position to sell or trim. I believe the stock will underperform over the next 5-10 years and do not own any shares.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Outlook</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Consumer spending is expected to weaken in FY23. Apple&#39;s financial performance is heavily reliant on the success of their consumer products like the iPhone. Around 52% of revenue in FY22 came from iPhone sales, trailed by services which made up 20%. Additionally, iPhone sales have been flat in recent years, stagnating or declining since FY15. No other device Apple has produced has had the growth rate or sales of the iPhone. It is not even close as the iPhone is the most successful consumer product ever created in the entire universe.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Apple&#39;s market share in the smartphone market ballooned to record highs in FY20, reaching 61% in the US. While investors had been hopeful of a similar trend in China with its emerging middle class, Apple has not been able to breach the 25% mark in market share since the iPhone launched in China in 2009. Additionally, despite iPhone sales stagnating, iPhone users have steadily grown. While this will increase the company&#39;s service revenue, it is clear that people are not as eager to buy brand-new iPhones every year as they have been in the past.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9786b02e391b0f3b4e3a78428a82ae44\" alt=\"iPhones Shipped Against iPhones in Use\" title=\"iPhones Shipped Against iPhones in Use\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\"/><span>iPhones Shipped Against iPhones in Use</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Building Benjamins, Apple, Business Of Apps</strong></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/45410459102e898fa414de2902c350d2\" alt=\"iPhone Market Vendors in China\" title=\"iPhone Market Vendors in China\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"/><span>iPhone Market Vendors in China</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Chinese Market Share (Statcounter)</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">There is room to grow in the service area, with AppleTV launching its subscription service.

A successful encore is nearly impossible.Valued like a double-digit grower, 4-6% growth is much more plausible.Investment ThesisApple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is a tech giant, and the highest market capitalization stock traded on the stock market. The iPhone is the most successful consumer product ever created in the entire universe. A successful encore is nearly impossible. As the innovator of the smartphone, Apple has had unrivaled success and is a global powerhouse and dominant position the United States, especially with teenagers and young adults.Globally, around 1 billion people have an iPhone. Since the launch of the iPhone sales is estimated to have totaled $2 trillion. Apple is the most valuable company of all time, with a market cap of $2.6 Trillion.However, revenue and earnings growth has slowed to the 4-6% range. This slow growth is primarily a victim of \"The Law of Large Numbers\" and Apple's on success. Additionally, Apple has not been immune to COVID-19 supply chain chokepoints and a saturated smartphone market. Most of the developed world has a smartphone so business there is replacement only and few new features warrant an upgrade. In the developing world, fewer customers can afford the luxury of purchasing the status symbol of buying an iPhone.SeekingAlpha Growth MetricsSeekingAlphaNonetheless, Apple is still priced as a growth stock with a 27.8 PE (Price to Earnings ratio). Given that AAPL had a 12 PE in 2013 when its 8.6% 10-year CAGR revenue was still in front of them, we would not be surprised to see the PE fall to this level which would be more appropriate given its low forward expected growth. Apple has been one of the greatest investments of all time. I hope you own it and are in a position to sell or trim. I believe the stock will underperform over the next 5-10 years and do not own any shares.OutlookConsumer spending is expected to weaken in FY23. Apple's financial performance is heavily reliant on the success of their consumer products like the iPhone. Around 52% of revenue in FY22 came from iPhone sales, trailed by services which made up 20%. Additionally, iPhone sales have been flat in recent years, stagnating or declining since FY15. No other device Apple has produced has had the growth rate or sales of the iPhone. It is not even close as the iPhone is the most successful consumer product ever created in the entire universe.Apple's market share in the smartphone market ballooned to record highs in FY20, reaching 61% in the US. While investors had been hopeful of a similar trend in China with its emerging middle class, Apple has not been able to breach the 25% mark in market share since the iPhone launched in China in 2009. Additionally, despite iPhone sales stagnating, iPhone users have steadily grown. While this will increase the company's service revenue, it is clear that people are not as eager to buy brand-new iPhones every year as they have been in the past.iPhones Shipped Against iPhones in UseBuilding Benjamins, Apple, Business Of AppsiPhone Market Vendors in ChinaChinese Market Share (Statcounter)There is room to grow in the service area, with AppleTV launching its subscription service. But the market is already saturated with everyone rolling out streaming services. Apple has only been able to breach just over 10% market share in this area.Streaming Services in HomesS&P Global Market IntelligenceApple has made no friends in the advertising space, with its strict rules around advertising and user tracking making it an unattractive platform to advertise on. While this has been applauded as pro-privacy and pro-consumer, it dulled their own ability to carve out a revenue stream.Apple is under scrutiny in the United States and Europe for competitive iPhone and MacOS ecosystem practices. Since 2019 Apple has been under investigation in the US on whether or not it suppresses third party apps in favor of its own. In Europe meanwhile, the entire MacOS ecosystem has been declared as a \"threat to competition [utilizes] practices [that] effectively prevent them\". Not only this, but the most downloaded app on iPhones today is TikTok, which has come under equally harsh scrutiny.It is not as though AAPL is not a financially healthy company, it has fantastic margins on every level and eyewatering levels of free cash flow yearly - nearly $100 billion. In 1Q23 AAPL repurchased $20 billion in stock but has been stingy on the dividend with only a 0.56% forward yield.

Once it is determined that earnings aren&#39;t too cyclical, then I use a combination of earnings, earnings growth, and P/E mean reversion to estimate future returns based on previous earnings growth and sentiment patterns. I take those expectations and apply them 10 years into the future, and then convert the results into an expected CAGR percentage. If the expected return is really good, I will buy the stock, and if it&#39;s really low, I will often sell the stock. In this article, I will take readers through each step of this process.</p><p>Importantly, once it is established that a business has a long history of relatively stable and predictable earnings growth, it doesn&#39;t really matter to me what the business does. If it consistently makes more money over the course of each economic cycle, that&#39;s what I care about the most.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd2616262154bcd955f95bc22536731d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"322\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>FAST Graphs</p><p>Over the past 20 years Microsoft has only experienced two years of EPS declines, once during the recession of 2009, when earnings fell -12% and once in 2013 when earnings fell a modest -7%. Every other year Microsoft has grown its earnings per share from one year to the next. I would categorize this as very low earnings cyclicality. Based on that, it is appropriate to use a fundamental analysis using earnings to value the stock, and that&#39;s what I&#39;ll do in this article. (If earnings had been more cyclical, I would use a different valuation technique.)</p><h3>Microsoft Stock -- Market Sentiment Return Expectations</h3><p>In order to estimate what sort of returns we might expect over the next 10 years, let&#39;s begin by examining what return we could expect 10 years from now if the P/E multiple were to revert to its mean from the previous economic cycle. For this, I&#39;m using a period that runs from 2015-2023.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d94dcdf085e19d4d955dded938282951\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"531\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>FAST Graphs</p><p>Microsoft&#39;s average P/E from 2015 to the present has been about 24.49 (the blue number circled in gold near the bottom of the FAST Graph). Using 2023&#39;s forward earnings estimates of $9.51 Microsoft has a current P/E of 23.82. If that 23.82 P/E were to revert to the average P/E of 24.49 over the course of the next 10 years and everything else was held the same, MSFT&#39;s price would rise and it would produce a 10-Year CAGR of<i>+0.31%.</i>That&#39;s the annual return we can expect from sentiment mean reversion if it takes 10 years to revert. If it takes less time to revert, the return would be higher.</p><h3>Business Earnings Expectations</h3><p>We previously examined what would happen if market sentiment reverted to the mean. This is entirely determined by the mood of the market and is quite often disconnected, or only loosely connected, to the performance of the actual business. In this section, we will examine the actual earnings of the business. The goal here is simple: We want to know how much money we would earn (expressed in the form of a CAGR %) over the course of 10 years if we bought the business at today&#39;s prices and kept all of the earnings for ourselves.</p><p>There are two main components of this: the first is the earnings yield and the second is the rate at which the earnings can be expected to grow. Let&#39;s start with the earnings yield (which is an inverted P/E ratio, so the Earnings/Price ratio). The current earnings yield is about +4.20%. The way I like to think about this is, if I bought the company&#39;s whole business right now for $100, I would earn $4.20 per year on my investment if earnings remained the same for the next 10 years.</p><p>The next step is to estimate the company&#39;s earnings growth during this time period. I do that by figuring out at what rate earnings grew during the last cycle and applying that rate to the next 10 years. This involves calculating the historical EPS growth rate, taking into account each year&#39;s EPS growth or decline, and then backing out any share buybacks that occurred over that time period (because reducing shares will increase the EPS due to fewer shares).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc823ca5b80a2b444fcb0e0937e9d710\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data by YCharts</p><p>Microsoft has reduced its shares outstanding by about 9% over this time period. I will make adjustments for these buybacks when calculating their earnings growth. After doing so, I get an estimated earnings growth rate for Microsoft during this period of +14.07%, which is very good. Because of my buyback adjustments that number is a little more conservative than FAST Graph&#39;s +15.72%, but it&#39;s worth noting that we never really had a &#34;true&#34; recession from 2015 to 2022 either, so I actually view my current estimate as a little on the optimistic side since Microsoft&#39;s earnings will probably experience at least some decline if we experience a recession, even if the decline is not super deep.</p><p>Next, I&#39;ll apply that growth rate to current earnings, looking forward 10 years in order to get a final 10-year CAGR estimate. The way I think about this is, if I bought Microsoft&#39;s whole business for $100, it would pay me back $4.20 plus +14.07% growth the first year, and that amount would grow at +14.07% per year for 10 years after that. I want to know how much money I would have in total at the end of 10 years on my $100 investment, which I calculate to be about $193.40 including the original $100. When I plug that growth into a CAGR calculator, that translates to a<i>+6.82%</i>10-year CAGR estimate for the expected business earnings returns.</p><h3>10-Year, Full-Cycle CAGR Estimate</h3><p>Potential future returns can come from two main places: market sentiment returns or business earnings returns. If we assume that market sentiment reverts to the mean from the last cycle over the next 10 years for Microsoft, it will produce a +0.31% CAGR. If the earnings yield and growth are similar to the last cycle, the company should produce somewhere around a +6.82% 10-year CAGR. If we put the two together, we get an expected 10-year, full-cycle CAGR of<i>+7.13%</i>at today&#39;s price.</p><p>My Buy/Sell/Hold range for this category of stocks is: above a 12% CAGR is a Buy, below a 4% expected CAGR is a Sell, and in between 4% and 12% is a Hold. A +7.13% expected CAGR makes Microsoft stock a &#34;Hold&#34; using these assumptions and means it&#39;s roughly fairly valued here.</p><p>Assuming the estimates for 2023 earnings don&#39;t change (and they might) the price at which Microsoft stock would cross the 12% 10-year CAGR threshold and become a &#34;Buy&#34; is $165.80 per share, which is about -26% lower than where the stock trades today.</p><h3>Recession Considerations</h3><p>So far, I don&#39;t think Microsoft&#39;s earnings expectations contain realistic recession estimates, but they do look to be at least reasonably close if we avoid a recession and earnings stagnate a bit while digesting the end of economic stimulus.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eade0d6871674075784b02a78ba5afcf\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"327\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>FAST Graphs</p><p>Currently, the market expects $9.51 of EPS for 2023. If the EPS growth trend of +13.87% leading into the pandemic stimulus would have continued without stimulus, we would have expected Microsoft to earn about $8.50 per share in 2023, which is a little bit lower than analysts expect right now, but at least in the same ballpark. What I expect to happen over the next three quarters is for analysts to lower their expectations from where they are now, down to something closer to $8.50. If that were to happen, it would lower my &#34;buy price&#34; down to about $148 per share, and this is probably my base case of what to expect in the first half of 2023. But since there is a pretty big distance between the current trading price and my current buy price, I probably have time to wait and see what the next earnings report looks like and get more information before making these adjustments to my buy price.</p><p>What I&#39;m not taking into account with that buy price are any earnings and stock price declines caused by an actual recession (rather than the stimulus earnings trend reverting to normal). A recession scenario<i>could</i>be a much more bearish scenario, so I feel obligated to share it.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a7883cb9bceb7a10ee04ca05dae0ae8e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"322\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>FAST Graphs</p><p>If we go back to the Great Recession in 2008/9, leading into that recession Microsoft had a peak P/E ratio of about 23, and from peak to trough, the stock price fell about -60% off its highs even though EPS only declined -12% at its worst. At one point Microsoft traded at a P/E under 10. The potentially concerning part about the current downturn is that Microsoft&#39;s peak P/E was about 40, nearly double the 2007 peak P/E. This leaves room for a lot more multiple compression and downside price movement.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e65a177086d233dba667f7c9b6da760\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"309\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>FAST Graph</p><p>In the forecasting graph above, I assumed a much more optimistic (and perhaps more reasonable) 15 P/E ratio for Microsoft in a recession and used the very generous EPS estimate of $9.51. This still resulted in a -50% drawdown from where the stock trades today. And, if earnings growth declines as I expect it to do, that would lower the expected price even more.</p><p>As I&#39;m sure many will point out, Microsoft is a different business than it was in 2007. And that&#39;s true. Additionally, even though I expect a recession in 2023, I don&#39;t yet expect it to be as bad as in 2008. But the assumptions above don&#39;t even assume an earnings decline and aren&#39;t nearly as pessimistic with the trough P/E as 2008 either. So, I just think it&#39;s important for Microsoft investors to know what is possible over the next year or two, and that because Microsoft was valued so richly going into this decline, the stock price could have a long way to fall and investors should be prepared for it. It&#39;s also worth noting that the current interest rate environment is much closer to that of 2008 than it is of 2020 as well.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Given what we know today about earnings expectations for 2023, my current buy price for Microsoft is $165.80, but I expect over the next several months for that buy price to fall down closer to $148.00 as earnings disappoint and the wider economy weakens in 2023. The $148.00 price has a relatively high chance of hitting, and I&#39;ll likely buy around there, but I will have no illusion that will necessarily be the bottom for the stock. If the recession is worse than expected the price could easily go lower, but with a business as high quality as Microsoft, I would hold through any additional downturn at that point because I have no doubt they will eventually recover.</p><p>An additional portfolio consideration is that I usually take 1% initial portfolio-weighted positions, and the last time I checked Microsoft was about a 5% weighting in the S&amp;P 500. If I bought at $148, and the price took a 2008-style dive deeper, I would feel comfortable adding a second 1% weighted Microsoft position even though it&#39;s not something I do very often. So, I view the $148 to $166 range of the next 3-4 months as having a very high probability of hitting and giving me a chance to add Microsoft to my portfolio at a decent price. But investors need to be aware the stock could go lower than that, and potentially be prepared to buy a second tranche if it does.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Here Is The Price I'll Start Buying Microsoft</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\">\nHere Is The Price I'll Start Buying Microsoft\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-04 16:31 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4552603-here-is-the-price-ill-start-buying-microsoft><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryMicrosoft stock has lost a third of its peak value and is now low enough to examine for potential purchase.In this article, I share my valuation process for Microsoft stock.I also share my ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4552603-here-is-the-price-ill-start-buying-microsoft\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"MSFT":"微软"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4552603-here-is-the-price-ill-start-buying-microsoft","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1105116140","content_text":"SummaryMicrosoft stock has lost a third of its peak value and is now low enough to examine for potential purchase.In this article, I share my valuation process for Microsoft stock.I also share my thoughts about how a recession could affect the stock price and the price range I would consider adding the stock to my portfolio.My Valuation Method For MicrosoftThe valuation method I use for Microsoft first checks to see how cyclical earnings have been historically. Once it is determined that earnings aren't too cyclical, then I use a combination of earnings, earnings growth, and P/E mean reversion to estimate future returns based on previous earnings growth and sentiment patterns. I take those expectations and apply them 10 years into the future, and then convert the results into an expected CAGR percentage. If the expected return is really good, I will buy the stock, and if it's really low, I will often sell the stock. In this article, I will take readers through each step of this process.Importantly, once it is established that a business has a long history of relatively stable and predictable earnings growth, it doesn't really matter to me what the business does. If it consistently makes more money over the course of each economic cycle, that's what I care about the most.FAST GraphsOver the past 20 years Microsoft has only experienced two years of EPS declines, once during the recession of 2009, when earnings fell -12% and once in 2013 when earnings fell a modest -7%. Every other year Microsoft has grown its earnings per share from one year to the next. I would categorize this as very low earnings cyclicality. Based on that, it is appropriate to use a fundamental analysis using earnings to value the stock, and that's what I'll do in this article. (If earnings had been more cyclical, I would use a different valuation technique.)Microsoft Stock -- Market Sentiment Return ExpectationsIn order to estimate what sort of returns we might expect over the next 10 years, let's begin by examining what return we could expect 10 years from now if the P/E multiple were to revert to its mean from the previous economic cycle. For this, I'm using a period that runs from 2015-2023.FAST GraphsMicrosoft's average P/E from 2015 to the present has been about 24.49 (the blue number circled in gold near the bottom of the FAST Graph). Using 2023's forward earnings estimates of $9.51 Microsoft has a current P/E of 23.82. If that 23.82 P/E were to revert to the average P/E of 24.49 over the course of the next 10 years and everything else was held the same, MSFT's price would rise and it would produce a 10-Year CAGR of+0.31%.That's the annual return we can expect from sentiment mean reversion if it takes 10 years to revert. If it takes less time to revert, the return would be higher.Business Earnings ExpectationsWe previously examined what would happen if market sentiment reverted to the mean. This is entirely determined by the mood of the market and is quite often disconnected, or only loosely connected, to the performance of the actual business. In this section, we will examine the actual earnings of the business. The goal here is simple: We want to know how much money we would earn (expressed in the form of a CAGR %) over the course of 10 years if we bought the business at today's prices and kept all of the earnings for ourselves.There are two main components of this: the first is the earnings yield and the second is the rate at which the earnings can be expected to grow. Let's start with the earnings yield (which is an inverted P/E ratio, so the Earnings/Price ratio). The current earnings yield is about +4.20%. The way I like to think about this is, if I bought the company's whole business right now for $100, I would earn $4.20 per year on my investment if earnings remained the same for the next 10 years.The next step is to estimate the company's earnings growth during this time period. I do that by figuring out at what rate earnings grew during the last cycle and applying that rate to the next 10 years. This involves calculating the historical EPS growth rate, taking into account each year's EPS growth or decline, and then backing out any share buybacks that occurred over that time period (because reducing shares will increase the EPS due to fewer shares).Data by YChartsMicrosoft has reduced its shares outstanding by about 9% over this time period. I will make adjustments for these buybacks when calculating their earnings growth. After doing so, I get an estimated earnings growth rate for Microsoft during this period of +14.07%, which is very good. Because of my buyback adjustments that number is a little more conservative than FAST Graph's +15.72%, but it's worth noting that we never really had a \"true\" recession from 2015 to 2022 either, so I actually view my current estimate as a little on the optimistic side since Microsoft's earnings will probably experience at least some decline if we experience a recession, even if the decline is not super deep.Next, I'll apply that growth rate to current earnings, looking forward 10 years in order to get a final 10-year CAGR estimate. The way I think about this is, if I bought Microsoft's whole business for $100, it would pay me back $4.20 plus +14.07% growth the first year, and that amount would grow at +14.07% per year for 10 years after that. I want to know how much money I would have in total at the end of 10 years on my $100 investment, which I calculate to be about $193.40 including the original $100. When I plug that growth into a CAGR calculator, that translates to a+6.82%10-year CAGR estimate for the expected business earnings returns.10-Year, Full-Cycle CAGR EstimatePotential future returns can come from two main places: market sentiment returns or business earnings returns. If we assume that market sentiment reverts to the mean from the last cycle over the next 10 years for Microsoft, it will produce a +0.31% CAGR. If the earnings yield and growth are similar to the last cycle, the company should produce somewhere around a +6.82% 10-year CAGR. If we put the two together, we get an expected 10-year, full-cycle CAGR of+7.13%at today's price.My Buy/Sell/Hold range for this category of stocks is: above a 12% CAGR is a Buy, below a 4% expected CAGR is a Sell, and in between 4% and 12% is a Hold. A +7.13% expected CAGR makes Microsoft stock a \"Hold\" using these assumptions and means it's roughly fairly valued here.Assuming the estimates for 2023 earnings don't change (and they might) the price at which Microsoft stock would cross the 12% 10-year CAGR threshold and become a \"Buy\" is $165.80 per share, which is about -26% lower than where the stock trades today.Recession ConsiderationsSo far, I don't think Microsoft's earnings expectations contain realistic recession estimates, but they do look to be at least reasonably close if we avoid a recession and earnings stagnate a bit while digesting the end of economic stimulus.FAST GraphsCurrently, the market expects $9.51 of EPS for 2023. If the EPS growth trend of +13.87% leading into the pandemic stimulus would have continued without stimulus, we would have expected Microsoft to earn about $8.50 per share in 2023, which is a little bit lower than analysts expect right now, but at least in the same ballpark. What I expect to happen over the next three quarters is for analysts to lower their expectations from where they are now, down to something closer to $8.50. If that were to happen, it would lower my \"buy price\" down to about $148 per share, and this is probably my base case of what to expect in the first half of 2023. But since there is a pretty big distance between the current trading price and my current buy price, I probably have time to wait and see what the next earnings report looks like and get more information before making these adjustments to my buy price.What I'm not taking into account with that buy price are any earnings and stock price declines caused by an actual recession (rather than the stimulus earnings trend reverting to normal). A recession scenariocouldbe a much more bearish scenario, so I feel obligated to share it.FAST GraphsIf we go back to the Great Recession in 2008/9, leading into that recession Microsoft had a peak P/E ratio of about 23, and from peak to trough, the stock price fell about -60% off its highs even though EPS only declined -12% at its worst. At one point Microsoft traded at a P/E under 10. The potentially concerning part about the current downturn is that Microsoft's peak P/E was about 40, nearly double the 2007 peak P/E. This leaves room for a lot more multiple compression and downside price movement.FAST GraphIn the forecasting graph above, I assumed a much more optimistic (and perhaps more reasonable) 15 P/E ratio for Microsoft in a recession and used the very generous EPS estimate of $9.51. This still resulted in a -50% drawdown from where the stock trades today. And, if earnings growth declines as I expect it to do, that would lower the expected price even more.As I'm sure many will point out, Microsoft is a different business than it was in 2007. And that's true. Additionally, even though I expect a recession in 2023, I don't yet expect it to be as bad as in 2008. But the assumptions above don't even assume an earnings decline and aren't nearly as pessimistic with the trough P/E as 2008 either. So, I just think it's important for Microsoft investors to know what is possible over the next year or two, and that because Microsoft was valued so richly going into this decline, the stock price could have a long way to fall and investors should be prepared for it. It's also worth noting that the current interest rate environment is much closer to that of 2008 than it is of 2020 as well.ConclusionGiven what we know today about earnings expectations for 2023, my current buy price for Microsoft is $165.80, but I expect over the next several months for that buy price to fall down closer to $148.00 as earnings disappoint and the wider economy weakens in 2023. The $148.00 price has a relatively high chance of hitting, and I'll likely buy around there, but I will have no illusion that will necessarily be the bottom for the stock. If the recession is worse than expected the price could easily go lower, but with a business as high quality as Microsoft, I would hold through any additional downturn at that point because I have no doubt they will eventually recover.An additional portfolio consideration is that I usually take 1% initial portfolio-weighted positions, and the last time I checked Microsoft was about a 5% weighting in the S&P 500. If I bought at $148, and the price took a 2008-style dive deeper, I would feel comfortable adding a second 1% weighted Microsoft position even though it's not something I do very often. So, I view the $148 to $166 range of the next 3-4 months as having a very high probability of hitting and giving me a chance to add Microsoft to my portfolio at a decent price. But investors need to be aware the stock could go lower than that, and potentially be prepared to buy a second tranche if it does.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":123,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9986659980,"gmtCreate":1666948396941,"gmtModify":1676537837336,"author":{"id":"3559700461523213","authorId":"3559700461523213","name":"Dont be weak","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06b3e51be6a54224a834dd01de25f3cc","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559700461523213","authorIdStr":"3559700461523213"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy high, sell low&nbsp;","listText":"Buy high, sell low&nbsp;","text":"Buy high, sell low","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9986659980","repostId":"1104333657","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1104333657","pubTimestamp":1666948108,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1104333657?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-28 17:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Another Cathie Wood Fund Exits Sea After $175 Billion Selloff","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1104333657","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Ark’s Internet ETF sold its last few shares on ThursdayWood’s ETFs have been selling shares in Sea s","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Ark’s Internet ETF sold its last few shares on Thursday</li><li>Wood’s ETFs have been selling shares in Sea since mid-May</li></ul><p>Funds managed by Cathie Wood are exiting the beleaguered Southeast Asian e-commerce giant Sea Ltd. one by one.</p><p>Ark Next Generation Internet ETF on Thursday sold its last few shares in Sea, almost a quarter after flagship Ark Innovation ETF exited from the company in June, according to Ark trading data compiled by Bloomberg.</p><p>Exchange traded funds backed by Wood’s firm Ark Investment Management LLC’s have been selling shares in Sea since mid-May. Ark Fintech Innovation ETF is now the only one holding shares in the Singapore-based company, according to Bloomberg data.</p><p>Ark’s selling has come in the backdrop of Sea losing about $175 billion of market value from its record high a year ago amid intensifying competition from Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and concerns over its money-making prospects in an era of rising interest rates.</p><p>Stock has plunged nearly 80% this year and is now trading near its pre-pandemic levels, a far cry from once being the world’shottestlarge-cap in 2020.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8cdb04b34df27dc80da85662e2e6ed5\" tg-width=\"930\" tg-height=\"523\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>The Tencent Holdings Ltd.-backed company’s top management has started forgoing salaries, tightening expense policies and firing staff as it tries to curb ballooning losses and woo investors again.</p><p>“Ark bailing out on Sea does not bode well for the ASEAN Tech giant,” said Nirgunan Tiruchelvam, head of consumer and Internet at Aletheia Capital. “Sea needs to convince investors that it can generate cash sooner rather than later.”</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1584095487587","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

That's not that impressive given the highly speculative nature of this high risk investment.Alibaba is now 52% historically undervalued and could potentially quadruple in the next five years. I recommend a 1% or smaller max position sizing, given the risk profile.LOW is a hyper-growth very low risk Ultra SWAN quality dividend king growing at 20%, trading at a 34% discount. LOW could triple in five years.QCOM is a hyper-growth low risk Ultra SWAN tech titan growing at 15.4%, trading at 7.9X cash-adjusted earnings that could triple in five years. Both LOW and QCOM are expected to deliver superior income and long-term returns, with less risk than BABA, making them superior alternatives for bear market bargain hunters today.Looking for a portfolio of ideas like this one?

Hope for a Fed pivot? My, oh, my, what a difference just five weeks makes.CME GroupThe bond market is now pricing in another mega hike in November, a 50 basis point increase in December, and 25 in February and March. That's a 4.75% peak rate that the Fed says it doesn't plan to start cutting until potentially October...of 2024.

Stocks potentially falling another 14% to 21% is also a good thing.I know what you're thinking. \"Are you high?! How can this possibly be a good thing?!\"According to Societe Generale and UBS, if the Fed gives investors what they want right now, an early pivot and rate cuts, here's what might be coming in the next decade.This Is What Stagflation Hell Looks Like:inflation doesn't subsideinflation expectations start risinga decade of spiraling inflationseveral severe recessionsdouble-digit unemploymentmuch higher interest rates for 10 yearsstocks bottom in 2 to 3 years...at -48% to -53%as much as 37% lower than current levelsa lost decade for the S&P 500Do you still want the Fed to pivot? Or do you want it to finish the job and kill inflation now? Do you want six to 12 months of pain followed by a 4X to 5X decade-long gain in stocks? Or would you prefer a lost decade?Do you know the last time the Fed pivoted early and gave investors what they thought they wanted?Fed Chairman Arthur Burns in 1973 lost his nerve and started cutting rates early, before inflation was defeated:we ended up with a decade of stagflation helltwo severe recessions11% unemploymenta 54% stock market crashthe Dow Jones Industrial Average was flat for 16 yearsThe only thing worse than the Fed pivoting is the Fed not finishing the job right now.OK, so that's why higher rates are good for all of us in the long-term. And, of course, the next six to 12 months (how long Morgan Stanley things it will take to bottom) could be a golden age of blue-chip bargain hunting.And that brings me to today's topic, a Dividend Kings' member request for an update on Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA).What do current and potential investors in BABA want to know? Three things mainly.What are BABA's growth prospects in the future?Is BABA a good deal today? Should I buy it?What kind of returns can I realistically make?Let's answer those questions, but then answer the 4th and most important question of all?4. What superior alternatives to BABA can I buy that are likely to earn me higher returns with less risk?Question One: What Are Alibaba's Growth Prospects Today?Last I updated BABA; its growth outlook had fallen to 8.4%. That's a lot of fundamental risks to take on for a non-dividend growth stock without the growth.FactSet Research TerminalThe good news is that BABA's growth outlook has improved by about 50% in the last few months to nearly 13% CAGR. It's once more a growth stock.In fact, BABA's margins are once more expected to start growing again in the coming years.Alibaba Profit Margin Consensus ForecastYearFCF MarginEBITDA MarginEBIT (Operating) MarginNet MarginReturn On Capital ExpansionReturn On Capital Forecast202115.3%20.5%9.1%10.3%2.2020229.5%18.1%9.9%9.1%TTM ROC40.91%20239.3%18.5%10.9%10.5%Latest ROC54.66%20249.9%19.0%12.1%11.0%2027 ROC89.85%202514.6%20.2%13.8%13.4%2027 ROC120.05%2026NA25.9%18.8%16.3%Average104.95%2027NA29.0%21.8%18.3%Industry Median10.58%2028NANANANABABA/Industry Median9.92Annualized Growth 2022-2027-1.10%5.95%15.58%10.00%Vs.

But they likely won't improve to the 25% CAGR they were before the regulatory crackdown began.In the meantime, faster-growing dividend blue-chip bargains like LOW and QCOM are firing on all cylinders and don't represent turnaround stories.They don't come with the high property right risk that BABA has always had and always will.And most importantly, over the long-term, they offer far better return potential, and a lot more income while letting you sleep far better at night.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":119,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9076551118,"gmtCreate":1657875000534,"gmtModify":1676536075999,"author":{"id":"3559700461523213","authorId":"3559700461523213","name":"Dont be weak","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06b3e51be6a54224a834dd01de25f3cc","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559700461523213","authorIdStr":"3559700461523213"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Might as well say $800","listText":"Might as well say $800","text":"Might as well say $800","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9076551118","repostId":"1124443778","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1124443778","pubTimestamp":1657874217,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1124443778?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-15 16:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"META Stock Could Surge to $466, Says Tigress Financial","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1124443778","media":"TipRanks","summary":"Story HighlightsKey metrics and qualitative theory support Tigress Financial’s bullish claim on Meta","content":"<div>\n<p>Story HighlightsKey metrics and qualitative theory support Tigress Financial’s bullish claim on Meta Platforms.

If market efficiency holds, the stock could gain considerable value.Financial research firm Tigress financial released a bombshell with its bullish analysis on Meta Platforms (META), stating that the stock might surge to $466, which implies an increase of 195%.According to Tigress, Meta “remains well-positioned to benefit from the evolution of social commerce, commercial aspects, and future monetization potential of the Metaverse.”Tigress’ analysis provides a valuable juxtaposition to Needham’s Laura Martin, who recently downgraded META stock from Outperform to Hold.According to Martin: “We lower our estimates because we believe cost growth will far exceed revenue growth for the next two years.” In addition, Martin pointed out that Meta’s moat is diminishing, causing much concern for its stock.Although Martin’s argument should be considered, I’m bullish and support Tigress Financial’s stance on Meta stock; here’s why.Meta in the Current MarketBlackRock’s (BLK) iShares MSCI USA Quality Factor ETF (QUAL) has Meta as one of its primary holdings, meaning that Meta is considered a high-quality stock with a robust balance sheet, a flying income statement, and dominant market share.High-quality stocks such as Meta could be rare performers if a recession or stagflation had to occur because risk-aversion will likely cause the market’s liquidity to gravitate towards high-quality assets.Furthermore, Meta is a “best-in-class” asset, as its presence in the technology market can’t be doubted. For example, the firm’s illustrious net income margin of 31.2% illustrates its pricing and bargaining power, which could sustain the company’s investors’ value accumulation.Meta Platforms’ Earnings Prospects are BrightMeta’s first-quarter results revealed a 7% year-over-year revenue increase as family app daily activity across its platforms rose 6%, and its ad impressions on its family apps surged 15% year-over-year.According to the firm’s CEO and founder, Mark Zuckerberg: “We made progress this quarter across a number of key company priorities, and we remain confident in the long-term opportunities and growth that our product roadmap will unlock.”Despite its maturity, Meta is still considered a secular growth company, which is conveyed by its five-year revenue CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 31.6%. Secular growth stocks tend to brush off economic headwinds, making them exceptionally lucrative investments during uncertain times.There’s been much concern that an economic contraction would dent Facebook’s advertising revenue as enterprise spending wanes. However, investors must bear in mind that the online advertising industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of about 11% from 2021-2026, according to a report from technavio.This categorizes it as a high-growth domain. Moreover, Facebook is projected to own 24.1% of the ad-selling industry by 2023, which suggests that its segment earnings could be non-cyclical.Lastly, Meta’s Beneish M-Score of -3.11 means that the firm is on the back of a period of conservative accounting practices. As such, Meta could likely surprise to the upside with a few of its following earnings releases.Valuation Metrics Suggest Meta is UndervaluedRelative valuation metrics suggest that Meta stock is undervalued. The stock’s price-to-earnings ratio (12.4x) trades at a 55% discount to its five-year average, implying that Meta stock is trading below its cyclical peak.Additionally, with a PEG ratio of 0.94x, the market underscores the company’s earnings-per-share growth, which leaves an earnings-driven value gap in play.Another aspect that supports the claim that Meta is undervalued is the firm’s cash flow statement. Meta’s levered free cash flow has surged by 102% in the past year, and its price-to-cash-flow ratio is at a 58.3% discount to its five-year average, substantiating a theory that the market underscores Meta’s cash-flow-generating abilities.Lastly, out of most of the big technology stocks, Meta seems the most reasonably priced if judged on its price-to-earnings ratio. Thus, it’s valid to conclude that the stock stacks up impressively from a peer-analysis vantage point.Wall Street’s Take on Meta PlatformsTurning to Wall Street, Meta Platforms earns a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 29 Buys, seven Holds, and two Sell ratings assigned in the past three months. The average META stock price target of $265.86 implies 68.2% upside potential.Concluding Thoughts – Tigress Financial May be RightMeta has lost more than half of its market value since the turn of the year. However, the firm’s fundamentals remain robust and quantitative metrics suggest that it’s an undervalued stock. As such, Tigress Financial could be correct in predicting that the stock might surge soon.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":140,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9070079162,"gmtCreate":1656987983256,"gmtModify":1676535928083,"author":{"id":"3559700461523213","authorId":"3559700461523213","name":"Dont be weak","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06b3e51be6a54224a834dd01de25f3cc","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559700461523213","authorIdStr":"3559700461523213"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Join now","listText":"Join now","text":"Join now","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9070079162","repostId":"9022524674","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":9022524674,"gmtCreate":1653552819200,"gmtModify":1676535303082,"author":{"id":"3527667667103859","authorId":"3527667667103859","name":"TigerEvents","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c266ef25181ace18bec1262357bbe1a8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3527667667103859","authorIdStr":"3527667667103859"},"themes":[],"title":"Time Travel with Tiger, Join the Memorabilia Adventure Now!!!","htmlText":"\n \n \n  Happy Birthday to TIGER!!!

With that incredible performance in mind, read on for a look at two tech stocks in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio that have what it takes to be huge winners.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/84932734b1592c7e2f9dae1a4f150489\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: The Motley Fool.</span></p><h2>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a></h2><p>Sporting a market capitalization of roughly $78.5 billion and trading at approximately 39 times this year&#39;s expected sales, <b>Snowflake</b> (NYSE:SNOW) has one of the more unusual valuation profiles in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio. This is a growth stock through and through, and it&#39;s operating at the intersection of some powerful long-term trends that help put its valuation and support from the Berkshire team in context.</p><p>Snowflake provides data warehousing and analytics services, and it allows users to easily combine otherwise siloed information from <b>Amazon</b>&#39;s, <b>Microsoft</b>&#39;s, and <b>Alphabet</b>&#39;s respective cloud platforms. It also allows customers to share and monetize their data, and the business is on track to benefit from a powerful network effect as more clients take advantage of these services.</p><p>A recent market study found that 100% of surveyed Snowflake customers recommend the company&#39;s services, and the data specialist&#39;s highly regarded offerings are paving the way for rapid business growth. Existing customers increased their spending a whopping 73% year over year in the third quarter, and the company also grew its total customer count to 5,416 -- up roughly 52% year over year. The combination of increased client spending and new customer additions allowed the company to post 110% year-over-year sales growth in Q3, and there&#39;s still huge room for expansion over the long term.</p><p>With Snowflake&#39;s share price now down roughly 27% from its high, investors have an opportunity to build discounted positions in a company that&#39;s on track to play an influential role in the ongoing data analytics revolution.</p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STNE\">StoneCo</a></h2><p>The last year has been tough for fintech stocks. It&#39;s also generally been challenging for companies that primarily operate in the Latin American market. As such, it&#39;s not shocking that <b>StoneCo</b> (NASDAQ:STNE) stock has struggled across the stretch, but the extent of the sell-offs has been staggering.</p><p>StoneCo is a leading provider of payment processing and other fintech services in Brazil. Berkshire Hathaway made a significant investment in the company when StoneCo had its initial public offering in 2018. The investment conglomerate started out owning a roughly 11% stake in the company, but it trimmed its position after shares went on to post explosive gains. Berkshire&#39;s decision to reduce holdings in StoneCo stock has proven to be a wise one given recent trading, but there&#39;s big comeback potential here.</p><p>Amid waning investor appetite for risk, high inflation, and economic uncertainty in Latin America, StoneCo stock has gotten pummeled. Shares trade down a staggering 85% from the lifetime high they hit last February.</p><p>StoneCo&#39;s outlook has been dampened due to new credit regulations in Brazil that have disrupted one of the company&#39;s growth vehicles. On the other hand, the fintech actually posted a record net customer addition of 294,000 new merchant clients in the third quarter, and it also added more than 420,000 new digital banking accounts in the period.</p><p>The company ended the quarter with nearly 1.4 million active payment clients, and total revenue climbed roughly 57% year over year in the period. Meanwhile, total payment volume conducted through StoneCo&#39;s platform was up roughly 54% after backing out contributions from pandemic-related stimulus initiatives. The company&#39;s net income also slumped roughly 54% in the period, largely due to the collapse of its credit business, but there&#39;s still a core growth engine here that looks pretty strong.</p><p>The big sell-offs have pushed StoneCo&#39;s market capitalization down to roughly $4 billion, and the company is now valued at roughly 30.5 times this year&#39;s expected earnings and 2.7 times expected sales.I believe this is a situation in which can benefit from being &#34;greedy when others are fearful,&#34; as Buffett has famously said.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Down 27% to 85%: 2 Buffett Stocks to Buy for 2022 and Beyond</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;

With that incredible performance in mind, read on for a look at two tech stocks in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio that have what it takes to be huge winners.Image source: The Motley Fool.1. SnowflakeSporting a market capitalization of roughly $78.5 billion and trading at approximately 39 times this year's expected sales, Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) has one of the more unusual valuation profiles in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio. This is a growth stock through and through, and it's operating at the intersection of some powerful long-term trends that help put its valuation and support from the Berkshire team in context.Snowflake provides data warehousing and analytics services, and it allows users to easily combine otherwise siloed information from Amazon's, Microsoft's, and Alphabet's respective cloud platforms. It also allows customers to share and monetize their data, and the business is on track to benefit from a powerful network effect as more clients take advantage of these services.A recent market study found that 100% of surveyed Snowflake customers recommend the company's services, and the data specialist's highly regarded offerings are paving the way for rapid business growth. Existing customers increased their spending a whopping 73% year over year in the third quarter, and the company also grew its total customer count to 5,416 -- up roughly 52% year over year. The combination of increased client spending and new customer additions allowed the company to post 110% year-over-year sales growth in Q3, and there's still huge room for expansion over the long term.With Snowflake's share price now down roughly 27% from its high, investors have an opportunity to build discounted positions in a company that's on track to play an influential role in the ongoing data analytics revolution.2. StoneCoThe last year has been tough for fintech stocks. It's also generally been challenging for companies that primarily operate in the Latin American market. As such, it's not shocking that StoneCo (NASDAQ:STNE) stock has struggled across the stretch, but the extent of the sell-offs has been staggering.StoneCo is a leading provider of payment processing and other fintech services in Brazil. Berkshire Hathaway made a significant investment in the company when StoneCo had its initial public offering in 2018. The investment conglomerate started out owning a roughly 11% stake in the company, but it trimmed its position after shares went on to post explosive gains. Berkshire's decision to reduce holdings in StoneCo stock has proven to be a wise one given recent trading, but there's big comeback potential here.Amid waning investor appetite for risk, high inflation, and economic uncertainty in Latin America, StoneCo stock has gotten pummeled. Shares trade down a staggering 85% from the lifetime high they hit last February.StoneCo's outlook has been dampened due to new credit regulations in Brazil that have disrupted one of the company's growth vehicles. On the other hand, the fintech actually posted a record net customer addition of 294,000 new merchant clients in the third quarter, and it also added more than 420,000 new digital banking accounts in the period.The company ended the quarter with nearly 1.4 million active payment clients, and total revenue climbed roughly 57% year over year in the period. Meanwhile, total payment volume conducted through StoneCo's platform was up roughly 54% after backing out contributions from pandemic-related stimulus initiatives. The company's net income also slumped roughly 54% in the period, largely due to the collapse of its credit business, but there's still a core growth engine here that looks pretty strong.The big sell-offs have pushed StoneCo's market capitalization down to roughly $4 billion, and the company is now valued at roughly 30.5 times this year's expected earnings and 2.7 times expected sales.I believe this is a situation in which can benefit from being \"greedy when others are fearful,\" as Buffett has famously said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":203,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9946356225,"gmtCreate":1680874469068,"gmtModify":1680874472772,"author":{"id":"3559700461523213","authorId":"3559700461523213","name":"Dont be weak","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06b3e51be6a54224a834dd01de25f3cc","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559700461523213","authorIdStr":"3559700461523213"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"There are little new users of iPhone every year.

The iPhone is the most successful consumer product ever created in the entire universe. A successful encore is nearly impossible. As the innovator of the smartphone, Apple has had unrivaled success and is a global powerhouse and dominant position the United States, especially with teenagers and young adults.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Globally, around 1 billion people have an iPhone. Since the launch of the iPhone sales is estimated to have totaled $2 trillion. Apple is the most valuable company of all time, with a market cap of $2.6 Trillion.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">However, revenue and earnings growth has slowed to the 4-6% range. This slow growth is primarily a victim of &#34;The Law of Large Numbers&#34; and Apple&#39;s on success. Additionally, Apple has not been immune to COVID-19 supply chain chokepoints and a saturated smartphone market. Most of the developed world has a smartphone so business there is replacement only and few new features warrant an upgrade. In the developing world, fewer customers can afford the luxury of purchasing the status symbol of buying an iPhone.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a67b28942b0449f6ba64c60da551001a\" alt=\"SeekingAlpha Growth Metrics\" title=\"SeekingAlpha Growth Metrics\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"647\"/><span>SeekingAlpha Growth Metrics</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>SeekingAlpha</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Nonetheless, Apple is still priced as a growth stock with a 27.8 PE (Price to Earnings ratio). Given that AAPL had a 12 PE in 2013 when its 8.6% 10-year CAGR revenue was still in front of them, we would not be surprised to see the PE fall to this level which would be more appropriate given its low forward expected growth. Apple has been one of the greatest investments of all time. I hope you own it and are in a position to sell or trim. I believe the stock will underperform over the next 5-10 years and do not own any shares.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Outlook</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Consumer spending is expected to weaken in FY23. Apple&#39;s financial performance is heavily reliant on the success of their consumer products like the iPhone. Around 52% of revenue in FY22 came from iPhone sales, trailed by services which made up 20%. Additionally, iPhone sales have been flat in recent years, stagnating or declining since FY15. No other device Apple has produced has had the growth rate or sales of the iPhone. It is not even close as the iPhone is the most successful consumer product ever created in the entire universe.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Apple&#39;s market share in the smartphone market ballooned to record highs in FY20, reaching 61% in the US. While investors had been hopeful of a similar trend in China with its emerging middle class, Apple has not been able to breach the 25% mark in market share since the iPhone launched in China in 2009. Additionally, despite iPhone sales stagnating, iPhone users have steadily grown. While this will increase the company&#39;s service revenue, it is clear that people are not as eager to buy brand-new iPhones every year as they have been in the past.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9786b02e391b0f3b4e3a78428a82ae44\" alt=\"iPhones Shipped Against iPhones in Use\" title=\"iPhones Shipped Against iPhones in Use\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\"/><span>iPhones Shipped Against iPhones in Use</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Building Benjamins, Apple, Business Of Apps</strong></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/45410459102e898fa414de2902c350d2\" alt=\"iPhone Market Vendors in China\" title=\"iPhone Market Vendors in China\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"/><span>iPhone Market Vendors in China</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Chinese Market Share (Statcounter)</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">There is room to grow in the service area, with AppleTV launching its subscription service.

We no longer believe there is a likely long-term case for Apple from a growth investor's perspective and have removed it from our portfolio.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":386,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":133395476,"gmtCreate":1621694810895,"gmtModify":1704361541789,"author":{"id":"3559700461523213","authorId":"3559700461523213","name":"Dont be weak","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06b3e51be6a54224a834dd01de25f3cc","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559700461523213","authorIdStr":"3559700461523213"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/133395476","repostId":"2137906121","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2137906121","pubTimestamp":1621611396,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2137906121?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-21 23:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here Are the 3 Bank Moves Warren Buffett Has Made So Far in 2021","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2137906121","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Berkshire Hathaway has continued to reduce its stakes in banks.","content":"<p><b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> (NYSE:BRK.A) (NYSE:BRK.B) recently filed its 13F form for the first quarter of 2021, detailing what stock sales and purchases the conglomerate and the legendary investor in charge, Warren Buffett, made during the period.

All but eliminating Wells Fargo</h2>\n<p>Everyone knew it was coming, but Buffett all but made it official last quarter, nearly eliminating his position in his onetime favorite bank, <b>Wells Fargo</b> (NYSE:WFC). Berkshire Hathaway sold 51.7 million shares, dropping its stake to a mere 675,000 shares valued at $26.3 million.</p>\n<p>This essentially ends what was an epic run for the Oracle of Omaha and Wells Fargo. Buffett first purchased shares in the large U.S. bank in 1989, and by 1994, he had acquired more than 13% of its outstanding shares. At the end of the third quarter of 2019, before the pandemic, Buffett's stake, which had a rough original cost basis of just below $9 billion, was worth close to $20 billion. And at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> point back in 2017, it was reportedly worth as much as $29 billion.</p>\n<p>But as the fallout of Wells Fargo's phony accounts scandal and other revelations about its consumer abuses continued to play out, Buffett began to lose faith in the institution and started trimming his position. It looks like Buffett ultimately ended up making much less on his Wells Fargo investment than he could have, considering he sold more than 323 million shares between the end of Q1 2020 and the end of Q1 2021. During that 12-month period, the bank's shares traded from a low of $21.45 to a high of $39.07. At the end of 2019, they traded north of $53.</p>\n<p>The stock closed at $45.73 on Thursday, and many investors still believe Wells Fargo is undervalued these days, trading at 135% tangible book value (equity minus intangible assets and goodwill). Bank valuations have shot up in recent months, and Wells Fargo in particular could see more tailwinds when the Federal Reserve lifts the $1.95 trillion asset cap that the bank has been operating under since 2018.</p>\n<h2>2. Dumping <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SYF\">Synchrony Financial</a></h2>\n<p>Last quarter, Berkshire Hathaway also eliminated its entire stake in the consumer finance credit card company <b>Synchrony Financial&nbsp;</b>(NYSE:SYF), selling its 21.1 million shares. Synchrony uses what it calls a \"partner-centric\" business model under which it teams up with leading retailers and digital brands that promote Synchrony's credit cards. Consumers can get deals on specific purchases by opening Synchrony credit cards, which are often branded under a retailer's name.</p>\n<p>While I wouldn't say I saw this move coming, it doesn't entirely surprise me. Over the last year, Buffett has become even more selective about which banks he wants to own. He seems to be picking a winner or two in each banking industry subcategory -- for instance, he sold his stake in America's largest bank, <b>JPMorgan Chase</b>, and loaded up on America's second-largest bank, <b>Bank of America</b>.</p>\n<p>Considering that Buffett already has a huge position in <b>American <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPR\">Express</a></b>, and loves the brand, that is likely going to be his pick for a credit-card-focused holding. Berkshire Hathaway likely made a good profit on that Synchrony investment, though, considering that the stock hit its highest level ever during Q1.</p>\n<h2>3. Trimming U.S. Bancorp again</h2>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway also sold about 1.45 million shares of <b>U.S. Bancorp</b> (NYSE:USB) in the first quarter -- but it still owns nearly 129.7 million shares. The Oracle of Omaha has sold small quantities of shares of the Minnesota-based regional bank a few times over the last year, and it's a bit unclear why. It does appear that he has made U.S. Bancorp his regional bank pick, though. He sold off his other regional bank holdings, including his stakes in <b>PNC Financial Services Group</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>M&amp;T Bank</b>, in the fourth quarter of 2020.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>One possible explanation relates to Buffett's well-known desire to keep his stakes in those banks below 10%, so he can avoid the additional reporting requirements that a higher ownership level would trigger. At the end of the first quarter, Buffett owned about 8.7% of U.S. Bancorp's outstanding shares. So his stock sale may have simply been a move to prepare for the bank's planned share repurchases, which should accelerate later this year. Last quarter's adjustment should maintain Berkshire Hathaway's stake at a level comfortably under the 10% threshold, even after U.S. Bancorp's total share count is reduced. </p>\n<p>Overall, I still feel confident that Buffett plans to stick with U.S. Bancorp, although I will continue to watch his moves in upcoming quarters to see if he further reduces his stake in it.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Here Are the 3 Bank Moves Warren Buffett Has Made So Far in 2021</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\">\nHere Are the 3 Bank Moves Warren Buffett Has Made So Far in 2021\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-21 23:36 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/21/here-are-the-3-bank-moves-warren-buffett-has-made/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) (NYSE:BRK.B) recently filed its 13F form for the first quarter of 2021, detailing what stock sales and purchases the conglomerate and the legendary investor in charge, ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/21/here-are-the-3-bank-moves-warren-buffett-has-made/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BRK.A":"伯克希尔","BRK.B":"伯克希尔B","WFC":"富国银行","USB":"美国合众银行","SYF":"Synchrony Financial"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/21/here-are-the-3-bank-moves-warren-buffett-has-made/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2137906121","content_text":"Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) (NYSE:BRK.B) recently filed its 13F form for the first quarter of 2021, detailing what stock sales and purchases the conglomerate and the legendary investor in charge, Warren Buffett, made during the period.

The president addresses a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening.It’s a huge week for earnings with about a third of the S&P 500 reporting, including Big Tech names, such as Apple,Microsoft,Alphabet and Amazon.As many have already done, firms like Boeing, Ford,Caterpillar and McDonald’s, are likely to detail cost pressures they are facing from rising materials and transportation costs and supply chain disruptions.At the same time, the Fed is expected to defend its policy of letting inflation run hot, while assuring markets it sees the pick-up in prices as only temporary. The central bank meets on Tuesday and Wednesday.The central bank takes the main stage“I think the Fed would like not to be a feature next week, but the Fed will be forced from the background because of concerns about inflation,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton.The central bank is not expected to make any policy moves, but Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s press briefing following the meeting Wednesday will be closely watched.So far, the barrage of earnings news has been positive, with 86% of companies reporting earnings beats. Corporate profits are expected to be up about 33.9% for the first quarter, based on estimates and actual reports, according to Refinitiv. Revenues are about 9.9% higher.There is important inflation data Friday when the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge is reported.The personal consumption expenditure report is expected to show a 1.8% rise in core inflation, still below the Fed’s target of 2%. Other data releases include the first-quarter gross domestic product on Thursday, which is expected to have grown by 6.5%, according to Dow Jones.“I think the Fed has no urgency to shift monetary policy at this point,” said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO. “The Fed needs to acknowledge that the data is improving. We had a strong first quarter.”“The Fed needs to acknowledge that but at the same time they’re keeping extremely accommodative policy in place, so they’ll have to make a note to the fact that the easy policy is warranted,” he said.Lyngen said the Fed will likely point to continued concerns about the pandemic globally as a potential risk to the economic recovery.Powell is also expected to once more explain that the Fed will let inflation rise above its 2% target for a period of time before it raises rates so that the economy can have more time to heal. “It’s going to be a challenge for the Fed,” said Swonk.The base effects for the next several months will make inflation appear to have jumped sharply because of the comparison to a weak period last year. The consumer price index for April could be above 3%, compared to 2.6% last month, Swonk added.“The Fed is trying to let a lot more people get out onto the dance floor before it calls ‘last call,’” she said. “Really what Powell has been saying since day one is if we take care of people on the margins and bring them back into the labor force, the rest will take care of itself.”Stocks were slightly lower in the past week, and Treasury yields held at lower levels. The 10-year yield,which moves opposite price, was at 1.55% Friday.The S&P 500was down 0.1%, ending the week at 4,180, while Nasdaq Composite was down nearly 0.3% at 14,016. The Dow was off just shy of 0.5% at 34,043.Tax hike prospectsStocks were hit hard on Thursday when after a news report said that Biden is expected to propose a capital gains tax rate of 39.6% for people earning more than $1 million a year.Combined with the 3.8% net investment income tax, the new levy would more than double the long term capital gains rate of 20% or the richest Americans.Strategists said Biden is expected to propose raising the income tax rate for those earning more than $400,000.“I think a lot of people are starting to price in the risk there going to be a significant increase in both corporate and capital gains taxes,” said Lyngen.So far, companies have not provided much in the way of commentary on the proposed hike in corporate taxes to 28% from 21% but they have been talking about other costs.David Bianco, chief investment strategist for the Americas at DWS, said he expects larger companies will do better dealing with supply chain constraints than smaller ones. Big Tech is also likely to fare better during the semiconductor shortage than auto makers, which have already announced production shutdowns, he said.“Next week is tech week. I think we’re going to get down on our knees and just be in awe of their business models and their ability to grow at a behemoth scale,” Bianco said.He said he’s not in favor of Wall Street’s popular trade into cyclicals and out of growth. He still favors growth.“We’re overweight equities really because we’re concerned about rising interest rates,” Bianco said. “I’m not bullish in that I expect the market to rise that much from here.”“We stuck with growth and dug deeper into bond substitutes, utilities, staples, real estate,” he said, adding he is underweight industrials, energy and materials. “Energy is doomed. It’s being nationalized via regulation. I do like industrials, they are well-run companies, but I do think infrastructure spending expectations for classic infrastructure are too high.”He also said industrials are good businesses, but the stocks have become overvalued.Bianco said he likes big box stores, but smaller retailers are facing big challenges that were already impacting them prior to Covid. He also finds small biotech firms attractive.“I like healthcare stocks. Those valuations are reasonable. People have been paranoid about politicians beating on them since 1992. They manage through it and lately they’ve been delivering,” he said.Week ahead calendarMondayEarnings:Tesla,Canadian National Railway, Canon,Check Point Software,Otis Worldwide, Vale,Ameriprise,NXP Semiconductor,Albertsons, Royal Phillips8:30 a.m. Durable goodsTuesdayFOMC begins two day meetingEarnings:Microsoft,Alphabet,Visa,Amgen,Advanced Micro Devices,3M,General Electric,Eli Lilly, Hasbro,United Parcel Service,BP,Novartis,JetBlue,Pultegroup,Archer Daniels Midland,Waste Management,Starbucks,Texas Instrument,Chubb,Mondelez,FireEye,Corning,Raytheon9:00 a.m. S&P/Case-Shiller9:00 a.m. FHFA home prices10:00 a.m. Consumer confidence10:00 a.m. Housing vacanciesWednesdayEarnings:Apple, Boeing,Facebook,Qualcomm,Ford,MGM Resorts,Humana,Norfolk Southern,General Dynamics,Boston Scientific, eBay, Samsung Electronics, GlaxoSmithKline,Yum Brands, SiriusXM, Aflac,Cheesecake Factory,Community Health System,CIT Group,Entergy,CME Group,Hess,Ryder System8:30 a.m. Advance economic indicators2:00 p.m. Fed statement2:30 p.m. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell briefingThursdayEarnings:Amazon,Caterpillar,McDonald’s,Twitter,Bristol-Myers Squibb,Comcast,Merck,Northrop Grumman, Airbus,Kraft Heinz,Intercontinental Exchange,Mastercard,Gilead Sciences,U.S. Steel, Cirrus Logic,Texas Roadhouse, Cabot Oil, PG&E,Royal Dutch Shell,Church & Dwight, Carlyle Group,Southern Co.8:30 a.m. Initial jobless claims8:30 a.m. Real GDP Q110:00 a.m. Pending home salesFridayEarnings:ExxonMobil,Chevron,Colgate-Palmolive,AstraZeneca,Clorox,Barclays, AbbVie, BNP Paribas,Weyerhaeuser,Illinois Tool Works, CBOE Global Markets, Lazard,Newell Brands,Aon,LyondellBasell,Pitney Bowes,Phillips 66,Charter Communications8:30 a.m. Personal income and spending8:30 a.m. Employment cost index Q19:45 a.m. Chicago PMI10:00 a.m. Consumer sentimentSaturdayEarnings:Berkshire Hathaway","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":265,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":803456703,"gmtCreate":1627459581702,"gmtModify":1703490365861,"author":{"id":"3559700461523213","authorId":"3559700461523213","name":"Dont be weak","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06b3e51be6a54224a834dd01de25f3cc","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559700461523213","authorIdStr":"3559700461523213"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy back at $130","listText":"Buy back at $130","text":"Buy back at $130","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/803456703","repostId":"1195067283","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1195067283","pubTimestamp":1627459353,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1195067283?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-28 16:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple’s blowout earnings didn’t help its stock, and here’s why","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1195067283","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"CFO suggests that sales growth will slow overall and in the hot services sector, sending shares lower in after-hours trading despite stunning beat in earnings and iPhone sales.

And the Oracle of Omaha also addressed the recent rise in retail trading andonline brokerage firmslike Robinhood,the rally in bitcoinand the boom in SPAC mergers.</p><p>In many ways, this year's meeting looked different from those in the past. The annual event took placein a hotel conference room in Los Angelesrather than in an arena in Omaha, Nebraska, due to the ongoing pandemic.</p><p>Buffett's long-time business partner Charlie Munger also returned onstage this year to co-lead the event, after sitting out last year because of the pandemic. And in a new move, Buffett and Munger were joined by Berkshire's Vice Chairmen Gregory Abel and Ajit Jain,in a signal of potential succession plans at the company.</p><p>Here were some of the highlights from the event.</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett said Berkshire Hathaway is seeing signs of rising price pressures during the COVID-19 recovery, corroborating many market participants' concerns about increasing inflationary pressures.</p><p>\"We're seeing substantial inflation. We're raising prices, people are raising prices to us. And it's being accepted,\" Buffett said. \"We really do a lot of housing. The costs are just up, up, up. Steel costs. You know, just every day they're going up.\"</p><p>\"It's an economy – really, it's red hot. And we weren't expecting it,\" he added.</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett said trading apps like Robinhoodhave contributed to the \"casino aspect\" of the stock market as of late, exploiting individuals' inclinations to gamble.</p><p>“It’s become a very significant part of the casino aspect, the casino group, that has joined into the stock market in the last year, year and a half,\" Buffett said of Robinhood. \"There’s nothing, you know, there’s nothing illegal about it, there’s nothing immoral. But I don’t think you’d build a society around people doing it.\"</p><p>\"I think the degree to which a very rich society can reward people who know how to take advantage, essentially, of the gambling instincts of the American public, the worldwide public – it’s not the most admirable part of the accomplishment,\" Buffett added. \"But I think what America has accomplished is pretty admirable overall. And I think actually American corporations have turned out to be a wonderful place for people to put their money and save. But they also make terrific gambling chips, and if you cater to those gambling chips when people have money in their pocket for the first time and you tell them take my 30 or 40 or 50 trades a day and you’re not charging commission ... I hope we don’t have more of it.”</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett explained that Berkshire's move to unload many of its bank shares last year was not due to a lack of confidence in the banking industry, but more a decision to re-balance the portfolio and avoid being too heavily tilted toward one area.</p><p>\"I like banks generally, I just didn't like the proportion compared to the possible risk,\" Buffett said. \"We were over 10% of Bank of America. It's a real pain in the neck, more to the banks than us.\"</p><p>Berkshire held 1,032,952,006 shares of Bank of America as of the end of 2020, after adding 85.1 million shares in the third quarter alone. This gave Berkshire Hathaway an ownership stake of 11.9%. Berkshire cut its holdings of Wells Fargo from 345.7 million shares at year-end 2019 to 52.4 million by year-end 2020, and completely exited its holdings in JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and M&amp;T Bank Corp (MTB).</p><p>\"The banking business is way better than it was in the United States 10 or 15 years ago,\" he added. \"The banking business around the world in various places might worry me, but our banks are in far, far better shape than 10 or 15 years ago.\"</p><p>—</p><p>A shareholder asked Jain, who leads Berkshire's insurance business, whether he would be hypothetically willing to write an insurance policy for SpaceX founder Elon Musk for his proposed colonization of Mars.</p><p>\"This is an easy one. No thank you, I’ll pass,\" Jain said.</p><p>“Well I would say it would depend on the premium,” Buffett interjected with a laugh. \"And I would say that I would probably have a somewhat different rate if Elon was on board or not on board. It makes a difference if someone is asking to insure something.”</p><p>—</p><p>Warren Buffett declined to directly offer an opinion in response to a question on bitcoin, an assethe previously likened to \"rat poison squared.\"</p><p>\"I knew there’d be a question on bitcoin or crypto and I thought to myself well, I watch these politicians dodge questions all the time … The truth is, I’m going to dodge that question,\" Buffett said. \"Because the truth is, we’ve probably got hundreds of thousands of people that are watching this that own bitcoin. And we’ve probably got two people that are short. So we’ve got a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, and making two people happy. And it’s just a dumb equation.\"</p><p>Munger, however, issued a more direct attack.</p><p>\"Those who know me well are just waving the red flag at the bull. Of course I hate the bitcoin success,\" he said. \"And I don’t welcome a currency that’s so useful kidnappers and extortionists and so forth. Nor do I like shoveling out a few extra billions and billions and billions of dollars to somebody who just invented a new financial product out of thin air. So I think I should say modestly that the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interest of civilization.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Both Buffett and Munger issued strong words of support for share repurchases, especially after Berkshire reported repurchasing an additional $6.6 billion in stock in the first three months of 2021.</p><p>\"They're a way, essentially, of distributing the cash to the people that want the cash when other co-owners mostly want you to reinvest,\" Buffett said. \"It's a savings vehicle.\"</p><p>\"I find it almost impossible to believe some of the arguments that are made that it's terrible to repurchase shares from a partner if they want to get out of something, and you're able to do it at prices that are advantages to the people that are staying,\" Buffett said. \"And it helps slightly the person that wants out.\"</p><p>Munger offered a similar view.</p><p>\"You're repurchasing stock. Just a bullet higher, it's deeply immoral,\" Munger said. \"But if you're repurchasing stock because it's a fair thing to do in the interest of your existing shareholders, it's a highly moral act and the people who are criticizing it are bonkers.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Low interest rates have catalyzed a surge in valuations across equities, giving those who invest in the markets an opportunity to create wealth, Munger said during the Berkshire Hathaway question and answer segment.</p><p>\"I think one consequence of this present situation is, Bernie Sanders has basically won,\" Munger says. \"Because with everything boomed out so high and interest rates so low, what's going to happen is, the millennial generation is going to have a hell of a time getting rich compared to our generation ... He did it by accident, but he won.\"</p><p>\"And so the difference between the difference between the rich and the poor in the generation that's rising is going to be a lot less,\" he added. \"So Bernie has won.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett received a question around special purpose acquisition companies, or blank-check companies, which have become a hugely popular means for firms to go public over the past year.</p><p>\"The SPACs generally have to spend their money in two years, as I understand it. If you have to buy a business in two years, you put a gun to my head and said you've got to buy a business in two years, I'd buy one but it wouldn't be much of one,\" Buffett.</p><p>\"If you're running money from somebody else and you get a fee and you get the upside and you don't have the downside, you're going to buy something,\" he added. \"And frankly we're not competitive with that.\"</p><p>\"It's an exaggerated version of what we've seen in kind of a gambling-type market,\" he added.</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett conceded that selling some of Apple's stock in 2020 was \"probably a mistake,\" with shares rising even further this year following the tech-led 2020 in the markets.</p><p>\"The brand and the product — it's an incredible product,\" Buffett said of Apple. \"It is indispensable to people.\"</p><p>\"I sold some stock last year, although our shareholders still saw their shares go up because we repurchased shares,\" he added. \"But that was probably a mistake.\"</p><p>Berkshire owned 907,559,761 shares of Appleas of the end of December for a total market value of $120.4 billion. By contrast, the firm spent just $31 billion accumulating this stake since late 2016.</p><p>—</p><p>A shareholder directed a question to Ajit Jain and Greg Abel asking about the relationship the two likely next leaders of Berkshire Hathaway have with one another, given how iconic the relationship between Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger has been over the course of the company's history.</p><p>\"There's no question the relationship Warren has with Charlie is unique,\" Jain said. \"It's not going to be duplicated, certainly not by me and Greg. I can't think of anybody that can duplicate it.\"</p><p>\"I certainly have a lot of respect, both at a professional level and personal level, in terms of what Greg's abilities are,\" Jain added. \"We do not interact with each other as often as Warren and Charlie do. But every quarter we will talk to each other about our respective decision.\"</p><p>\"Even though the interaction may be different than say how Warren and Charlie do it ... we make sure we're always following up with each other but it goes beyond that,\" Abel said. \"Ajit has a great understanding of the Berkshire culture. I strongly believe I do too.\"</p><p>—</p><p>One shareholder asked Buffett about Berkshire's decision to invest in the oil and gas industry, and queried whether we might have \"build our own unrealistic consensus on the pace of change\" to clean energy solutions. Buffett defended the company's investment in the industry and in Chevron specifically, whichwas a relatively recent investment for the firm.</p><p>\"I would say that people are on the extremes of both sides are a little nuts. I would hate to have all the hydrocarbons banned in three years,\" Buffett said. \"You wouldn't want a world — it wouldn't work. And on the other hand, what's happening will be adapted to over time just as we've adapted to all kinds of things.\"</p><p>\"We have no problem owning Costco or Walmart and a substantial number of their stores. And they sell cigarettes, it's a big item,\" he added as an analogy. \"It's a very tough situation ... It's a very tough time to decide what companies benefit societies more than others.\"</p><p>\"I don't like making the moral judgments on stocks in terms of actually running the businesses, but there's something about every business that you knew that you wouldn't like,\" he added. \"If you expect perfection in your spouse or in your friends or in companies you're not going to find it.\"</p><p>\"Chevron is not an evil company in the least, and I have no compunction about owning it in the least, about owning Chevron,\" Buffett concluded. \"And if we owned the entire business I would not feel uncomfortable about being in that business.\"</p><p>Answering a subsequent question about the Berkshire board of directors' recommendation to voteagainst reporting climate-related risks, Munger added, \"I don't know we know the answer to all these questions about global warming.\"</p><p>\"The people who ask the questions think they know the answer. We're just more modest.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Most investors would benefit from simply purchasing an S&amp;P 500 index fund over the long run rather than picking individual stocks, even including Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett said during the question-and-answer session Saturday.</p><p>\"I recommend the S&amp;P 500 index fund … I’ve never recommended Berkshire to anybody because I don’t want people to buy it because they think I’m tipping them into something,\" he said. \"On my death there's a fund for my then-widow and 90% will go into an S&amp;P 500 index fund.\"</p><p>\"I do not think the average person can pick stocks,\" he added. \"We happen to have a large group of people that didn't pick stocks but they picked Charlie and me to manage money for them 50, 60 years ago. So we have a very unusual group of shareholders I think who look at Berkshire as a lifetime savings vehicle and one that they don’t have to think about and one that they'll, you know, they don't look at it again for 10 to 20 years.\"</p><p>Charlie Munger, on the other hand, had a different perspective.</p><p>\"I personally prefer holding Berkshire to holding the market,\" he said in response to the same question. \"I’m quite comfortable holding Berkshire. I think our businesses are better than the average in the market.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett reiterated a staunchly supportive stance of U.S. corporations and capitalism in his opening remarks, highlighting that five of the six largest companies in the world by market capitalization currently comprise domestic companies. Those five companies are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook, with only Saudi Aramco of Saudi Arabia coming in as a non-U.S. mega-cap company in the top six.</p><p>But only a couple hundred years ago, the U.S. looked like the underdog.</p><p>\"In 1790 we had one-half of 1% of the world's population,\" Buffett said. \"600,000 of them were slaves. Ireland had more people than the United States had. Russia had five times as many people. Ukraine had twice as many people.\"</p><p>\"But here we were. What did we have? We had a map for the future, an aspirational map that somehow now only 232 years later, leaves us with five of the top six companies in the world,\" he said. \"It's not an accident. And it's not because we were way smarter, way stronger or anything of the sort. We had good soil, decent climate, but so did some of the other countries I named. This system has worked very well.\"</p><p>—</p><p>In opening remarks at the start of Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting, Buffett credited the U.S. economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis toswift action by the Federal Reserve and Congress.</p><p>\"The economy went off a cliff in March. It was resurrected in an extraordinarily effective way by Federal Reserve action and later on the fiscal front by Congress,\" Buffett said in opening remarks at Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting.\"</p><p>He added that Berkshire Hathaway's own business has picked up tremendously alongside the broader economy, and suggested businesses like airlines were still among those most deeply affected by lingering effects from the pandemic.</p><p>\"Our businesses have done really quite well. This has been a very, very, very unusual recession in that it's been localized ... to an extraordinary extent. Right now business is really very good in a great many segments of the economy,\" he added. \"But there's still problems if you're in a few types of businesses that have been decimated such as international air travel or something of the sort.\"</p><p>—</p><p>The CEO of See's Candies, one of the longstanding companies owned by Berkshire Hathaway, told Yahoo Finance that the companyhas seen a strong rebound at the start of 2021. However, last year, business virtually ground to a halt.</p><p>\"This has been the longest decade of my life. We've been through a lot. Last year – it's a tale of a couple of different quarters. The first quarter was tremendous,\" See's Candies CEO Pat Egan said in an interview with Yahoo Finance's Julia La Roche ahead of the start of Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting. \"In the middle of March, when this [pandemic] really hit, we shut down all of our stores in a span of five days. So about 245 stores we closed in a matter of days. And then about a week and a half later, we closed our e-commerce fulfillment center down in Southern California. So for a period of time there, we essentially completely stopped.\"</p><p>\"We just said, we're not going to reopen stores or reopen plants until we can create a safe operating environment for our employees,\" he added. \"That took a while, and by the time we restored over the summer we saw customers coming back in. But for that period of time, it was pretty rough.\"</p><p>See's Candies just completed its \"best first quarter ever\" at the start of 2021, Egan added.</p><p>—</p><p>Berkshire Hathawayreported first-quarter results Saturday morning, underscoring arebound in profits across the firm's businesses amid the COVID-19 recovery. Berkshire also reported that it conducted another $6.6 billion of stock buybacks, extending its ramped-up share repurchase program from 2020.</p><p>Operating income during the first three months of the year increased to $7.02 billion, rising 19.5% compared to the $5.87 billion posted in the first quarter of 2020. Net earnings attributable to Berkshire shareholders swung back to a profit of $11.71 billion, compared to a loss of $49.75 billion in the same quarter last year.</p><p>Consolidated shareholders' equity rose by $4.8 billion to $448 billion by the end of March compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/RN?name=RNLive&amp;rndata={&quot;liveId&quot;:&quot;16196040827650&quot;}\" target=\"_blank\">If you want to watch the full live video, please click here.</a></p>","source":"yahoofinance_sg","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

And the Oracle of Omaha also addressed the recent rise in retail trading andonline brokerage firmslike Robinhood,the rally in bitcoinand the boom in SPAC mergers.In many ways, this year's meeting looked different from those in the past. The annual event took placein a hotel conference room in Los Angelesrather than in an arena in Omaha, Nebraska, due to the ongoing pandemic.Buffett's long-time business partner Charlie Munger also returned onstage this year to co-lead the event, after sitting out last year because of the pandemic. And in a new move, Buffett and Munger were joined by Berkshire's Vice Chairmen Gregory Abel and Ajit Jain,in a signal of potential succession plans at the company.Here were some of the highlights from the event.—Buffett said Berkshire Hathaway is seeing signs of rising price pressures during the COVID-19 recovery, corroborating many market participants' concerns about increasing inflationary pressures.\"We're seeing substantial inflation. We're raising prices, people are raising prices to us. And it's being accepted,\" Buffett said. \"We really do a lot of housing. The costs are just up, up, up. Steel costs. You know, just every day they're going up.\"\"It's an economy – really, it's red hot. And we weren't expecting it,\" he added.—Buffett said trading apps like Robinhoodhave contributed to the \"casino aspect\" of the stock market as of late, exploiting individuals' inclinations to gamble.“It’s become a very significant part of the casino aspect, the casino group, that has joined into the stock market in the last year, year and a half,\" Buffett said of Robinhood. \"There’s nothing, you know, there’s nothing illegal about it, there’s nothing immoral. But I don’t think you’d build a society around people doing it.\"\"I think the degree to which a very rich society can reward people who know how to take advantage, essentially, of the gambling instincts of the American public, the worldwide public – it’s not the most admirable part of the accomplishment,\" Buffett added. \"But I think what America has accomplished is pretty admirable overall. And I think actually American corporations have turned out to be a wonderful place for people to put their money and save. But they also make terrific gambling chips, and if you cater to those gambling chips when people have money in their pocket for the first time and you tell them take my 30 or 40 or 50 trades a day and you’re not charging commission ... I hope we don’t have more of it.”—Buffett explained that Berkshire's move to unload many of its bank shares last year was not due to a lack of confidence in the banking industry, but more a decision to re-balance the portfolio and avoid being too heavily tilted toward one area.\"I like banks generally, I just didn't like the proportion compared to the possible risk,\" Buffett said. \"We were over 10% of Bank of America. It's a real pain in the neck, more to the banks than us.\"Berkshire held 1,032,952,006 shares of Bank of America as of the end of 2020, after adding 85.1 million shares in the third quarter alone. This gave Berkshire Hathaway an ownership stake of 11.9%. Berkshire cut its holdings of Wells Fargo from 345.7 million shares at year-end 2019 to 52.4 million by year-end 2020, and completely exited its holdings in JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and M&T Bank Corp (MTB).\"The banking business is way better than it was in the United States 10 or 15 years ago,\" he added. \"The banking business around the world in various places might worry me, but our banks are in far, far better shape than 10 or 15 years ago.\"—A shareholder asked Jain, who leads Berkshire's insurance business, whether he would be hypothetically willing to write an insurance policy for SpaceX founder Elon Musk for his proposed colonization of Mars.\"This is an easy one. No thank you, I’ll pass,\" Jain said.“Well I would say it would depend on the premium,” Buffett interjected with a laugh. \"And I would say that I would probably have a somewhat different rate if Elon was on board or not on board. It makes a difference if someone is asking to insure something.”—Warren Buffett declined to directly offer an opinion in response to a question on bitcoin, an assethe previously likened to \"rat poison squared.\"\"I knew there’d be a question on bitcoin or crypto and I thought to myself well, I watch these politicians dodge questions all the time … The truth is, I’m going to dodge that question,\" Buffett said. \"Because the truth is, we’ve probably got hundreds of thousands of people that are watching this that own bitcoin. And we’ve probably got two people that are short. So we’ve got a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, and making two people happy. And it’s just a dumb equation.\"Munger, however, issued a more direct attack.\"Those who know me well are just waving the red flag at the bull. Of course I hate the bitcoin success,\" he said. \"And I don’t welcome a currency that’s so useful kidnappers and extortionists and so forth. Nor do I like shoveling out a few extra billions and billions and billions of dollars to somebody who just invented a new financial product out of thin air. So I think I should say modestly that the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interest of civilization.\"—Both Buffett and Munger issued strong words of support for share repurchases, especially after Berkshire reported repurchasing an additional $6.6 billion in stock in the first three months of 2021.\"They're a way, essentially, of distributing the cash to the people that want the cash when other co-owners mostly want you to reinvest,\" Buffett said. \"It's a savings vehicle.\"\"I find it almost impossible to believe some of the arguments that are made that it's terrible to repurchase shares from a partner if they want to get out of something, and you're able to do it at prices that are advantages to the people that are staying,\" Buffett said. \"And it helps slightly the person that wants out.\"Munger offered a similar view.\"You're repurchasing stock. Just a bullet higher, it's deeply immoral,\" Munger said. \"But if you're repurchasing stock because it's a fair thing to do in the interest of your existing shareholders, it's a highly moral act and the people who are criticizing it are bonkers.\"—Low interest rates have catalyzed a surge in valuations across equities, giving those who invest in the markets an opportunity to create wealth, Munger said during the Berkshire Hathaway question and answer segment.\"I think one consequence of this present situation is, Bernie Sanders has basically won,\" Munger says. \"Because with everything boomed out so high and interest rates so low, what's going to happen is, the millennial generation is going to have a hell of a time getting rich compared to our generation ... He did it by accident, but he won.\"\"And so the difference between the difference between the rich and the poor in the generation that's rising is going to be a lot less,\" he added. \"So Bernie has won.\"—Buffett received a question around special purpose acquisition companies, or blank-check companies, which have become a hugely popular means for firms to go public over the past year.\"The SPACs generally have to spend their money in two years, as I understand it. If you have to buy a business in two years, you put a gun to my head and said you've got to buy a business in two years, I'd buy one but it wouldn't be much of one,\" Buffett.\"If you're running money from somebody else and you get a fee and you get the upside and you don't have the downside, you're going to buy something,\" he added. \"And frankly we're not competitive with that.\"\"It's an exaggerated version of what we've seen in kind of a gambling-type market,\" he added.—Buffett conceded that selling some of Apple's stock in 2020 was \"probably a mistake,\" with shares rising even further this year following the tech-led 2020 in the markets.\"The brand and the product — it's an incredible product,\" Buffett said of Apple. \"It is indispensable to people.\"\"I sold some stock last year, although our shareholders still saw their shares go up because we repurchased shares,\" he added. \"But that was probably a mistake.\"Berkshire owned 907,559,761 shares of Appleas of the end of December for a total market value of $120.4 billion. By contrast, the firm spent just $31 billion accumulating this stake since late 2016.—A shareholder directed a question to Ajit Jain and Greg Abel asking about the relationship the two likely next leaders of Berkshire Hathaway have with one another, given how iconic the relationship between Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger has been over the course of the company's history.\"There's no question the relationship Warren has with Charlie is unique,\" Jain said. \"It's not going to be duplicated, certainly not by me and Greg. I can't think of anybody that can duplicate it.\"\"I certainly have a lot of respect, both at a professional level and personal level, in terms of what Greg's abilities are,\" Jain added. \"We do not interact with each other as often as Warren and Charlie do. But every quarter we will talk to each other about our respective decision.\"\"Even though the interaction may be different than say how Warren and Charlie do it ... we make sure we're always following up with each other but it goes beyond that,\" Abel said. \"Ajit has a great understanding of the Berkshire culture. I strongly believe I do too.\"—One shareholder asked Buffett about Berkshire's decision to invest in the oil and gas industry, and queried whether we might have \"build our own unrealistic consensus on the pace of change\" to clean energy solutions. Buffett defended the company's investment in the industry and in Chevron specifically, whichwas a relatively recent investment for the firm.\"I would say that people are on the extremes of both sides are a little nuts. I would hate to have all the hydrocarbons banned in three years,\" Buffett said. \"You wouldn't want a world — it wouldn't work. And on the other hand, what's happening will be adapted to over time just as we've adapted to all kinds of things.\"\"We have no problem owning Costco or Walmart and a substantial number of their stores. And they sell cigarettes, it's a big item,\" he added as an analogy. \"It's a very tough situation ... It's a very tough time to decide what companies benefit societies more than others.\"\"I don't like making the moral judgments on stocks in terms of actually running the businesses, but there's something about every business that you knew that you wouldn't like,\" he added. \"If you expect perfection in your spouse or in your friends or in companies you're not going to find it.\"\"Chevron is not an evil company in the least, and I have no compunction about owning it in the least, about owning Chevron,\" Buffett concluded. \"And if we owned the entire business I would not feel uncomfortable about being in that business.\"Answering a subsequent question about the Berkshire board of directors' recommendation to voteagainst reporting climate-related risks, Munger added, \"I don't know we know the answer to all these questions about global warming.\"\"The people who ask the questions think they know the answer. We're just more modest.\"—Most investors would benefit from simply purchasing an S&P 500 index fund over the long run rather than picking individual stocks, even including Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett said during the question-and-answer session Saturday.\"I recommend the S&P 500 index fund … I’ve never recommended Berkshire to anybody because I don’t want people to buy it because they think I’m tipping them into something,\" he said. \"On my death there's a fund for my then-widow and 90% will go into an S&P 500 index fund.\"\"I do not think the average person can pick stocks,\" he added. \"We happen to have a large group of people that didn't pick stocks but they picked Charlie and me to manage money for them 50, 60 years ago. So we have a very unusual group of shareholders I think who look at Berkshire as a lifetime savings vehicle and one that they don’t have to think about and one that they'll, you know, they don't look at it again for 10 to 20 years.\"Charlie Munger, on the other hand, had a different perspective.\"I personally prefer holding Berkshire to holding the market,\" he said in response to the same question. \"I’m quite comfortable holding Berkshire. I think our businesses are better than the average in the market.\"—Buffett reiterated a staunchly supportive stance of U.S. corporations and capitalism in his opening remarks, highlighting that five of the six largest companies in the world by market capitalization currently comprise domestic companies. Those five companies are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook, with only Saudi Aramco of Saudi Arabia coming in as a non-U.S. mega-cap company in the top six.But only a couple hundred years ago, the U.S. looked like the underdog.\"In 1790 we had one-half of 1% of the world's population,\" Buffett said. \"600,000 of them were slaves. Ireland had more people than the United States had. Russia had five times as many people. Ukraine had twice as many people.\"\"But here we were. What did we have? We had a map for the future, an aspirational map that somehow now only 232 years later, leaves us with five of the top six companies in the world,\" he said. \"It's not an accident. And it's not because we were way smarter, way stronger or anything of the sort. We had good soil, decent climate, but so did some of the other countries I named. This system has worked very well.\"—In opening remarks at the start of Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting, Buffett credited the U.S. economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis toswift action by the Federal Reserve and Congress.\"The economy went off a cliff in March. It was resurrected in an extraordinarily effective way by Federal Reserve action and later on the fiscal front by Congress,\" Buffett said in opening remarks at Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting.\"He added that Berkshire Hathaway's own business has picked up tremendously alongside the broader economy, and suggested businesses like airlines were still among those most deeply affected by lingering effects from the pandemic.\"Our businesses have done really quite well. This has been a very, very, very unusual recession in that it's been localized ... to an extraordinary extent. Right now business is really very good in a great many segments of the economy,\" he added. \"But there's still problems if you're in a few types of businesses that have been decimated such as international air travel or something of the sort.\"—The CEO of See's Candies, one of the longstanding companies owned by Berkshire Hathaway, told Yahoo Finance that the companyhas seen a strong rebound at the start of 2021. However, last year, business virtually ground to a halt.\"This has been the longest decade of my life. We've been through a lot. Last year – it's a tale of a couple of different quarters. The first quarter was tremendous,\" See's Candies CEO Pat Egan said in an interview with Yahoo Finance's Julia La Roche ahead of the start of Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting. \"In the middle of March, when this [pandemic] really hit, we shut down all of our stores in a span of five days. So about 245 stores we closed in a matter of days. And then about a week and a half later, we closed our e-commerce fulfillment center down in Southern California. So for a period of time there, we essentially completely stopped.\"\"We just said, we're not going to reopen stores or reopen plants until we can create a safe operating environment for our employees,\" he added. \"That took a while, and by the time we restored over the summer we saw customers coming back in. But for that period of time, it was pretty rough.\"See's Candies just completed its \"best first quarter ever\" at the start of 2021, Egan added.—Berkshire Hathawayreported first-quarter results Saturday morning, underscoring arebound in profits across the firm's businesses amid the COVID-19 recovery. Berkshire also reported that it conducted another $6.6 billion of stock buybacks, extending its ramped-up share repurchase program from 2020.Operating income during the first three months of the year increased to $7.02 billion, rising 19.5% compared to the $5.87 billion posted in the first quarter of 2020. Net earnings attributable to Berkshire shareholders swung back to a profit of $11.71 billion, compared to a loss of $49.75 billion in the same quarter last year.Consolidated shareholders' equity rose by $4.8 billion to $448 billion by the end of March compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.If you want to watch the full live video, please click here.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":72,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":341427410,"gmtCreate":1617848758830,"gmtModify":1704703901735,"author":{"id":"3559700461523213","authorId":"3559700461523213","name":"Dont be weak","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06b3e51be6a54224a834dd01de25f3cc","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559700461523213","authorIdStr":"3559700461523213"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Let’s go stonks ??","listText":"Let’s go stonks ??","text":"Let’s go stonks ??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/341427410","repostId":"2125726223","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2125726223","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1617826841,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2125726223?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-08 04:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-S&P closes slightly higher after Fed minutes feed stable rate view","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2125726223","media":"Reuters","summary":"Prison operator GEO tumbles on dividend suspension\"Some time\" before substantial progress seen on go","content":"<ul><li>Prison operator GEO tumbles on dividend suspension</li><li>\"Some time\" before substantial progress seen on goals - Fed</li><li>Growth stocks outperform value</li><li>Dow up 0.05%, S&amp;P 500 up 0.15%, Nasdaq down 0.07%</li></ul><p>NEW YORK, April 7 (Reuters) - Major averages hovered near unchanged on Wednesday, with the S&amp;P 500 closing up slightly after the Federal Reserve released minutes from its most recent meeting that reinforced the U.S. central bank's position to remain patient before raising rates.</p><p>The major indexes held near unchanged for most of the day but the S&amp;P 500 briefly climbed to a session high after the minutes, in which Fed officials said it would likely take \"some time\" for substantial further progress on goals of maximum employment and stable prices.</p><p>The gains were minor and short-lived.

If market efficiency holds, the stock could gain considerable value.Financial research firm Tigress financial released a bombshell with its bullish analysis on Meta Platforms (META), stating that the stock might surge to $466, which implies an increase of 195%.According to Tigress, Meta “remains well-positioned to benefit from the evolution of social commerce, commercial aspects, and future monetization potential of the Metaverse.”Tigress’ analysis provides a valuable juxtaposition to Needham’s Laura Martin, who recently downgraded META stock from Outperform to Hold.According to Martin: “We lower our estimates because we believe cost growth will far exceed revenue growth for the next two years.” In addition, Martin pointed out that Meta’s moat is diminishing, causing much concern for its stock.Although Martin’s argument should be considered, I’m bullish and support Tigress Financial’s stance on Meta stock; here’s why.Meta in the Current MarketBlackRock’s (BLK) iShares MSCI USA Quality Factor ETF (QUAL) has Meta as one of its primary holdings, meaning that Meta is considered a high-quality stock with a robust balance sheet, a flying income statement, and dominant market share.High-quality stocks such as Meta could be rare performers if a recession or stagflation had to occur because risk-aversion will likely cause the market’s liquidity to gravitate towards high-quality assets.Furthermore, Meta is a “best-in-class” asset, as its presence in the technology market can’t be doubted. For example, the firm’s illustrious net income margin of 31.2% illustrates its pricing and bargaining power, which could sustain the company’s investors’ value accumulation.Meta Platforms’ Earnings Prospects are BrightMeta’s first-quarter results revealed a 7% year-over-year revenue increase as family app daily activity across its platforms rose 6%, and its ad impressions on its family apps surged 15% year-over-year.According to the firm’s CEO and founder, Mark Zuckerberg: “We made progress this quarter across a number of key company priorities, and we remain confident in the long-term opportunities and growth that our product roadmap will unlock.”Despite its maturity, Meta is still considered a secular growth company, which is conveyed by its five-year revenue CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 31.6%. Secular growth stocks tend to brush off economic headwinds, making them exceptionally lucrative investments during uncertain times.There’s been much concern that an economic contraction would dent Facebook’s advertising revenue as enterprise spending wanes. However, investors must bear in mind that the online advertising industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of about 11% from 2021-2026, according to a report from technavio.This categorizes it as a high-growth domain. Moreover, Facebook is projected to own 24.1% of the ad-selling industry by 2023, which suggests that its segment earnings could be non-cyclical.Lastly, Meta’s Beneish M-Score of -3.11 means that the firm is on the back of a period of conservative accounting practices. As such, Meta could likely surprise to the upside with a few of its following earnings releases.Valuation Metrics Suggest Meta is UndervaluedRelative valuation metrics suggest that Meta stock is undervalued. The stock’s price-to-earnings ratio (12.4x) trades at a 55% discount to its five-year average, implying that Meta stock is trading below its cyclical peak.Additionally, with a PEG ratio of 0.94x, the market underscores the company’s earnings-per-share growth, which leaves an earnings-driven value gap in play.Another aspect that supports the claim that Meta is undervalued is the firm’s cash flow statement. Meta’s levered free cash flow has surged by 102% in the past year, and its price-to-cash-flow ratio is at a 58.3% discount to its five-year average, substantiating a theory that the market underscores Meta’s cash-flow-generating abilities.Lastly, out of most of the big technology stocks, Meta seems the most reasonably priced if judged on its price-to-earnings ratio. Thus, it’s valid to conclude that the stock stacks up impressively from a peer-analysis vantage point.Wall Street’s Take on Meta PlatformsTurning to Wall Street, Meta Platforms earns a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 29 Buys, seven Holds, and two Sell ratings assigned in the past three months. The average META stock price target of $265.86 implies 68.2% upside potential.Concluding Thoughts – Tigress Financial May be RightMeta has lost more than half of its market value since the turn of the year. However, the firm’s fundamentals remain robust and quantitative metrics suggest that it’s an undervalued stock. As such, Tigress Financial could be correct in predicting that the stock might surge soon.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":140,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9015196417,"gmtCreate":1649435299785,"gmtModify":1676534512234,"author":{"id":"3559700461523213","authorId":"3559700461523213","name":"Dont be weak","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06b3e51be6a54224a834dd01de25f3cc","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559700461523213","authorIdStr":"3559700461523213"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Market manipulators at work again. \"Hard evidence\".

But the bottom line is that attacks targeting operational technology -- the industrial control systems on the production line or plant floor -- are becoming more frequent,\" Algirde Pipikaite, cyber strategy lead at the World Economic Forum's Centre for Cybersecurity, told AFP on Saturday.\"Unless cybersecurity measures are embedded in a technology's development phase, we are likely to see more frequent attacks on industrial systems like oil and gas pipelines or water treatment plants.\"Gas prices jumped in the United States on Sunday following the ransomware attack. Analysts warn that prices could climb even higher if the pipeline is not reopened soon. Oil prices rose more than one percent Monday.The United States was rocked in recent months by news of two major cybersecurity breaches -- the SolarWinds hack that compromised thousands of US government and private sector computer networks and was officially blamed on Russia; and a potentially devastating penetration of Microsoft email servers.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":145,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379906392,"gmtCreate":1618647462116,"gmtModify":1704713805742,"author":{"id":"3559700461523213","authorId":"3559700461523213","name":"Dont be weak","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06b3e51be6a54224a834dd01de25f3cc","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559700461523213","authorIdStr":"3559700461523213"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please like and comment ?","listText":"Please like and comment ?","text":"Please like and comment ?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379906392","repostId":"1175692875","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1175692875","pubTimestamp":1618582708,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1175692875?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-16 22:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"$544 Billion In Options Expire Today: Here's What Will Move","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1175692875","media":"zerohedge","summary":"While it's not quad (or even triple) witching day, today's a whole lot of weekly options will expire","content":"<p>While it's not quad (or even triple) witching day, today's a whole lot of weekly options will expire, may of which will be worthless, and others will be providing a supporting \"pin\" to underlying prices.
