The company has a market capitalization of more than $300 billion as it strives to be more competitive with Nvidia (NVDA), working to build its own competitive GPUs. Despite being dramatically smaller, as we&#39;ll see throughout this article, even with the market position, the company is heavily overvalued.</p><p>We last recommended against investing in AMD in a prior November article. However, we failed to foresee the exuberance artificial intelligence (&#34;AI&#34;) stocks would see going into 2024. Still, we see AMD as clearly overvalued.</p><h2 id=\"id_316061122\">AMD Market Positioning</h2><p>AMD has worked to improve its market positioning, supported by its recent acquisition of Xilinx and strong datacenter demand. The company also maintains its gaming GPU business and CPU business direct to consumers.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/5c28f41f09fab960be4b13c05f0cdbb3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"219\"/></p><p>AMD Investor Presentation</p><p>The company&#39;s data center portfolio is among its strongest, and the company is working to expand it. Here with its Xbox and other segments, we think the company might be uniquely positioned to help customers make custom silicon. For clients, the company has become increasingly competitive with Intel, which is exciting to see.</p><p>However, in gaming GPUs the company still lags behind Nvidia, which continues to dominate high end GPUs. This indicates that its gaming segment will face continued headwinds given desktop GPU demand declines.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/2a67edabdb4e5075b066760ca426744d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"251\"/></p><p>AMD Investor Presentation</p><p>The above section shows the company&#39;s focus on positioning itself in AI, especially with its new MI300X accelerator. To provide brief background, originally GPUs were created to excel at simple parallel compute, taking advantage of sending numerous pixels to a display. It turns out, a multi-billion parameter neural network does the same thing.</p><p>That has led to GPUs (first Nvidia) being at the forefront of AI, until the market has become large enough that companies are building dedicated silicon for these tasks. AMD&#39;s MI300X is its example of an accelerator for a market that&#39;s potentially worth $10s of billions.</p><p>In major, potentially relevant benchmark workloads, such as the Llama 2 (a large language model, or LLM), the company sees 1.2x performance versus the H100. Of course, the MI300X will compete more against the H200, but it still shows the GPU can hold its ground. With continued shortages, this shows the MI300X&#39; strength. With the MI300X seeing additional SW support, this is key to increased adoption and future revenue from the product.</p><p>However, it&#39;s also worth noting that the company is playing second fiddle to the clear market leader Nvidia. Demand for the company&#39;s GPUs comes from shortages and higher prices for Nvidia&#39;s GPUs.</p><h2 id=\"id_1503897208\">AMD Financial Performance</h2><p>The company&#39;s financial performance in 4Q 2023 (released Jan 2024) declined YoY, despite strong revenue, as its core segments outperformed.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/fb5c8fd8ca04cfd5d127a23aef4b4c3b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"272\"/></p><p>AMD Investor Presentation</p><p>The company saw its revenue decline by 4% YoY after it took a noticeable hit from weakness in the client and gaming segments. Versus a company with a market capitalization of more than $300 billion, that&#39;s a price to sales of almost 15x. It indicates how expensive the company is and how much growth it needs in order to justify its valuation.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/5be453f532af8c76a1c438ce4f900fe2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"299\"/></p><p>AMD Investor Presentation</p><p>The company did manage to improve its GAAP margins, which is impressive in a tough market where revenue declined. There was a GAAP margin improvement from 45% to 46%, showing this strength. The company&#39;s non-GAAP margins did decline by 2%, but we feel that GAAP margins are much more important than Non-GAAP.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/b2c2f44eaa3e0bdc1f61b8a327f64b1b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"365\"/></p><p>AMD Investor Presentation</p><p>The above shows the breakdown of the company&#39;s YoY comparisons. Operating expenses did go up substantially, which took away the impact of gross margins. That&#39;s not too surprising given the company&#39;s newfound focus on building out AI accelerators. The company did have more than $850 million in net income, and a P/E of almost 400 for the year.</p><p>We expect the company&#39;s 2024 to improve financially, as it sells more accelerators, but the company&#39;s relatively stagnant YoY financials are clear. The company needs profits to increase dramatically to justify its valuation.</p><p>Long term, the S&amp;P 500 (SP500) returns are around 10%. Obviously not every growth stock needs that, however, at some point in the future AMD needs the shareholder returns to justify an almost $300 billion market capitalization. If it takes 10 years to hit that, it needs to get even higher returns to justify the valuation.</p><p>With current net income at less than $1 billion annually, we don&#39;t see the company as having a path to getting to the $30+ billion it needs to be long term.</p><h2 id=\"id_334159393\">AMD Outlook</h2><p>The company&#39;s outlook shows strong improvement in the financial picture, but again not the positioning to justify its valuation.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/535c7883a36f0049a835cc731f8860f8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"338\"/></p><p>AMD Investor Presentation</p><p>The company has $5.5 billion in cash and cash equivalents and just under $3 billion in debt. The company&#39;s share count is still reeling from the impacts of the Xilinx acquisition. That increased its share count by 35%, in an all-stock acquisition completed when its share price was at half its current level. We&#39;re almost never a fan of a major dilutive acquisition, unless you&#39;re in an industry like banking with minimal alternatives.</p><p>The company&#39;s forecast is for roughly $5.4 billion in revenue, an annualized decline, but with a wide range showing a varying market for artificial intelligence. Expenses are to remain high, but the company does expect a higher gross margin, likely supported by higher margin data center GPUs it&#39;ll be selling.</p><p>Still there&#39;s nothing in the company&#39;s guidance to show it has a growth path to justify its valuation.</p><h2 id=\"id_3068714488\">Thesis Risk</h2><p>The largest risk to our thesis is the size of the market and the AMD&#39;s position as it strives to compete with Nvidia. If the company can build a GPU that&#39;s ahead of Nvidia&#39;s, or Nvidia has a continued shortage, it could quickly capture a larger portion of the market.</p><h2 id=\"id_2788832773\">Conclusion</h2><p>AMD represents what was once primarily a gaming GPU company, but is now a company using its technology to position itself in the race for AI accelerators. The company has some impressive technology and products that it&#39;s built up. Despite that, the company actually saw its revenue decline YoY despite incredibly strong performance in its share price, especially YTD, backed by AI exuberance. The company has a strong portfolio of assets and is working to become more competitive with Nvidia for its latest AI accelerators.</p><p>Despite all of that, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. is still heavily overvalued. The company&#39;s guidance suggests virtually no revenue growth and profits are still extremely low versus its valuation. Despite the long-term potential of the market, we don&#39;t view the company&#39;s potential as being unique enough to justify investing at the current share price.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The company has a market capitalization of more than $300 billion as it strives to be more competitive with Nvidia (NVDA), working to build its own competitive GPUs. Despite being dramatically smaller, as we'll see throughout this article, even with the market position, the company is heavily overvalued.We last recommended against investing in AMD in a prior November article. However, we failed to foresee the exuberance artificial intelligence (\"AI\") stocks would see going into 2024. Still, we see AMD as clearly overvalued.AMD Market PositioningAMD has worked to improve its market positioning, supported by its recent acquisition of Xilinx and strong datacenter demand. The company also maintains its gaming GPU business and CPU business direct to consumers.AMD Investor PresentationThe company's data center portfolio is among its strongest, and the company is working to expand it. Here with its Xbox and other segments, we think the company might be uniquely positioned to help customers make custom silicon. For clients, the company has become increasingly competitive with Intel, which is exciting to see.However, in gaming GPUs the company still lags behind Nvidia, which continues to dominate high end GPUs. This indicates that its gaming segment will face continued headwinds given desktop GPU demand declines.AMD Investor PresentationThe above section shows the company's focus on positioning itself in AI, especially with its new MI300X accelerator. To provide brief background, originally GPUs were created to excel at simple parallel compute, taking advantage of sending numerous pixels to a display. It turns out, a multi-billion parameter neural network does the same thing.That has led to GPUs (first Nvidia) being at the forefront of AI, until the market has become large enough that companies are building dedicated silicon for these tasks. AMD's MI300X is its example of an accelerator for a market that's potentially worth $10s of billions.In major, potentially relevant benchmark workloads, such as the Llama 2 (a large language model, or LLM), the company sees 1.2x performance versus the H100. Of course, the MI300X will compete more against the H200, but it still shows the GPU can hold its ground. With continued shortages, this shows the MI300X' strength. With the MI300X seeing additional SW support, this is key to increased adoption and future revenue from the product.However, it's also worth noting that the company is playing second fiddle to the clear market leader Nvidia. Demand for the company's GPUs comes from shortages and higher prices for Nvidia's GPUs.AMD Financial PerformanceThe company's financial performance in 4Q 2023 (released Jan 2024) declined YoY, despite strong revenue, as its core segments outperformed.AMD Investor PresentationThe company saw its revenue decline by 4% YoY after it took a noticeable hit from weakness in the client and gaming segments. Versus a company with a market capitalization of more than $300 billion, that's a price to sales of almost 15x. It indicates how expensive the company is and how much growth it needs in order to justify its valuation.AMD Investor PresentationThe company did manage to improve its GAAP margins, which is impressive in a tough market where revenue declined. There was a GAAP margin improvement from 45% to 46%, showing this strength. The company's non-GAAP margins did decline by 2%, but we feel that GAAP margins are much more important than Non-GAAP.AMD Investor PresentationThe above shows the breakdown of the company's YoY comparisons. Operating expenses did go up substantially, which took away the impact of gross margins. That's not too surprising given the company's newfound focus on building out AI accelerators. The company did have more than $850 million in net income, and a P/E of almost 400 for the year.We expect the company's 2024 to improve financially, as it sells more accelerators, but the company's relatively stagnant YoY financials are clear. The company needs profits to increase dramatically to justify its valuation.Long term, the S&P 500 (SP500) returns are around 10%. Obviously not every growth stock needs that, however, at some point in the future AMD needs the shareholder returns to justify an almost $300 billion market capitalization. If it takes 10 years to hit that, it needs to get even higher returns to justify the valuation.With current net income at less than $1 billion annually, we don't see the company as having a path to getting to the $30+ billion it needs to be long term.AMD OutlookThe company's outlook shows strong improvement in the financial picture, but again not the positioning to justify its valuation.AMD Investor PresentationThe company has $5.5 billion in cash and cash equivalents and just under $3 billion in debt. The company's share count is still reeling from the impacts of the Xilinx acquisition. That increased its share count by 35%, in an all-stock acquisition completed when its share price was at half its current level. We're almost never a fan of a major dilutive acquisition, unless you're in an industry like banking with minimal alternatives.The company's forecast is for roughly $5.4 billion in revenue, an annualized decline, but with a wide range showing a varying market for artificial intelligence. Expenses are to remain high, but the company does expect a higher gross margin, likely supported by higher margin data center GPUs it'll be selling.Still there's nothing in the company's guidance to show it has a growth path to justify its valuation.Thesis RiskThe largest risk to our thesis is the size of the market and the AMD's position as it strives to compete with Nvidia. If the company can build a GPU that's ahead of Nvidia's, or Nvidia has a continued shortage, it could quickly capture a larger portion of the market.ConclusionAMD represents what was once primarily a gaming GPU company, but is now a company using its technology to position itself in the race for AI accelerators. The company has some impressive technology and products that it's built up. Despite that, the company actually saw its revenue decline YoY despite incredibly strong performance in its share price, especially YTD, backed by AI exuberance. The company has a strong portfolio of assets and is working to become more competitive with Nvidia for its latest AI accelerators.Despite all of that, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. is still heavily overvalued. The company's guidance suggests virtually no revenue growth and profits are still extremely low versus its valuation. Despite the long-term potential of the market, we don't view the company's potential as being unique enough to justify investing at the current share price.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":278,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":285622073663688,"gmtCreate":1710738038019,"gmtModify":1710738041613,"author":{"id":"3559859558754319","authorId":"3559859558754319","name":"Bodoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349218ea2852130ca86ce660b4aa2d59","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559859558754319","authorIdStr":"3559859558754319"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"If &lt;fill in the blank&gt; keeps rising like this, it will be bigger than &lt;fill in something else&gt;.&nbsp;","listText":"If &lt;fill in the blank&gt; keeps rising like this, it will be bigger than &lt;fill in something else&gt;.&nbsp;","text":"If <fill in the blank> keeps rising like this, it will be bigger than <fill in something else>.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/285622073663688","repostId":"1140037774","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1140037774","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1710728717,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1140037774?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-03-18 10:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"If Nvidia Keeps Rising Like This, It Will Be Bigger Than the Global Economy","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1140037774","media":"The New York Times","summary":"To their credit, all three of the A.I. chatbots I asked — Microsoft Copilot, powered by OpenAI’s Chat GPT-4; Google Gemini; and Anthropic’s Claude 3 — were reluctant to answer my questions directly.Each one said it couldn’t assess stock valuations reliably or predict with the slightest degree of accuracy how a stock or the overall market would perform in the future.

Nvidia designs the chips that make artificial intelligence work, and because A.I. is being hailed as the most important technological development since the internet, Nvidia shares have been rocketing since last year.</p><p>I’m not qualified to assess how important — or how dangerous — A.I. will one day become, but I do pay close attention to the stock market, which values Nvidia at more than $2.2 trillion, making it the third-largest public company in the world behind Microsoft and Apple.</p><p>Enthusiasm for A.I. is raising the share prices not only of Nvidia, but also of many other tech companies that are believed to be imbued with the technology’s potential, including Microsoft, Meta and Alphabet as well as other chipmakers like AMD, Taiwan Semiconductor and Intel.</p><p>But the blistering rate of Nvidia’s gains — an increase of about 290 percent over the past 12 months — has me and many Wall Street analysts wondering how sustainable this run is. The answer has implications for the entire market.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c58a03fab849abb10bf7ac36358a6588\" tg-width=\"918\" tg-height=\"712\"/></p><p>There are many ways to examine this, including traditional stock analysis, which considers sales, earnings, cash flow, business growth and momentum. I took an offbeat approach: asking several A.I. chatbots about Nvidia’s prospects as a stock. Specifically, I asked how big Nvidia’s market value would be in a decade if the company’s share price kept its current pace.</p><p>What they told me amounted to this: Nvidia stock’s sharp rise can’t continue like this for very long. And because much of the stock market is bound up in the same feverish A.I.-driven stock frenzy, the message is broadly true. If the market doesn’t slow down soon, it may inflate itself into a bubble — and all bubbles eventually burst.</p><p>On a personal level, I love new tech but I try not to become too excited about it until I’m confident it works safely and reliably. From what I can tell, A.I. produces spectacular images and is fun to play with, but it’s neither reliable nor safe (yet).</p><p>(The New York Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft in December for copyright infringement of news content related to A.I. systems.)</p><h3 id=\"link-721d6d66\" style=\"text-align: left;\">What’s in a quadrillion?</h3><p>To their credit, all three of the A.I. chatbots I asked — Microsoft Copilot, powered by OpenAI’s Chat GPT-4; Google Gemini; and Anthropic’s Claude 3 — were reluctant to answer my questions directly.</p><p>Each one said it couldn’t assess stock valuations reliably or predict with the slightest degree of accuracy how a stock or the overall market would perform in the future. I wish human stock analysts said as much.</p><p>Just because Nvidia’s stock price is growing fast now doesn’t mean it will keep growing fast, and certainly not over periods as long as a decade, they all warned me.</p><p>But I pressed them to perform some basic calculations anyway, which I backstopped with 20th-century technology — a spreadsheet and a calculator.</p><p>The chatbots didn’t arrive at the same numbers every time and never agreed on the details. That’s another sign, in my humble estimation, that they’re not ready for prime time. I wouldn’t use them for math homework.</p><p>But in this case, the details didn’t really matter. Ultimately, and with considerable prompting, they all came up with the same basic conclusion: The simple laws of compound arithmetic tell us that if the company’s share price keeps rising at its current rate, Nvidia will end up with a market cap in the quadrillions of dollars.</p><p>Quadrillions are an order of magnitude I’m not comfortable with, so I resorted to a dictionary: One quadrillion dollars is 1 with 15 zeros after it, or a thousand trillion dollars in American parlance. (In British English, a quadrillion is even bigger: 1 with 24 zeros. I’m using the American definition.)</p><p>How big is that? The world economy — the combined size of all of the annual gross domestic products of every country on the planet — amounted to $100.88 trillion in 2022, according to the World Bank. So if Nvidia kept growing at its current annual rate, it would dwarf the output of the entire known economic universe within 10 years.</p><p>Claude 3, the Anthropic A.I. chatbot, calculated that Nvidia, at it’s current growth rate, would become a $2.76962 quadrillion company in 10 years, and then warned me: “This is an extraordinarily large number that seems implausible in reality, as it would make Nvidia larger than the entire global economy many times over.”</p><p>In plain English, Nvidia’s astonishing growth rate over the past year is far too high to continue for long. I’d be wary about buying shares of Nvidia, or any other stock, in the belief that its momentum is perpetual. What goes up can come down, and, somewhere down the line, it certainly will.</p><p>This warning reinforces what traditional valuation measures show. Nvidia’s share price, and the prices of many stocks, are high. They can be justified on the assumption that their sales and earnings will grow at a rip-roaring pace. But if share prices rise faster than earnings, the market party will eventually crash.</p><h3 id=\"link-5bafc77b\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Remember Apple?</h3><p>Nvidia is an impressive company. Its products have a great reputation and are in high demand, and it generates enormous, rapidly growing profits.</p><p>Its latest earnings report in February, which unleashed tremendous stock market optimism, contained eye-popping numbers. And in a conversation with Wall Street analysts then, Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s chief executive, gave Wall Street something exciting to mull over. The company’s technology is providing the foundations for a new industrial revolution, he said.</p><p>“We are now at the beginning of a new industry where A.I.-dedicated data centers process massive raw data to refine it into digital intelligence,” he said. “Like A.C. power generation plants of the last industrial revolution, Nvidia A.I. supercomputers are essentially A.I. generation factories of this industrial revolution.”</p><p>The sky is the limit for the next couple of years, he suggested.</p><p>But Nvidia will inevitably begin to grow more slowly. It’s absurd to think it can become bigger than everything else in the universe.</p><p>But it could still grow swiftly. Some companies have managed to sustain long-term rapid growth before.</p><p>Apple, at various stages since its founding in 1976, has perplexed skeptics who have periodically said it had become too large to keep expanding quickly. In 2012, for example, Apple’s market capitalization was $500 billion and its stock price had risen 68 percent in just eight months.</p><p>Back then, The New York Times cited an analyst who used a spreadsheet, not a chatbot, to assess Apple’s prospects. The analyst concluded that if the company grew at just 20 percent a year over the following decade — much slower than its growth rate had been in 2012 — Apple would be worth an impossible number by 2022: more than $3 trillion. That number doesn’t look outlandish now.</p><p>Apple’s market cap isn’t quite there yet, but it’s close, at about $2.7 trillion. Its old rival, Microsoft, which was much smaller than Apple in 2012, now has a market cap that surpasses $3 trillion. These two giants have risen and fallen many times and show every prospect of being able to do so again.</p><p>I don’t know whether Nvidia belongs in that exalted category, but it’s clear that even though Nvidia won’t be bigger than the entire universe, it could end up being substantially more valuable in the next 10 or 20 years. Then again, it might not.</p><p>It could be more like Cisco Systems, the most valuable company in the stock market in March 2000. That was the peak of another technology boom — the dot-com bubble. Cisco is still a solid company. Its products make up the backbone of the internet. But its market capitalization in 2000 was $567 billion. Now, it’s around $200 billion.</p><p>It will be fascinating to watch Nvidia’s destiny unfurl. But because I can’t predict how it or any company will fare in the long run, I don’t buy individual stocks — not Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Cisco or anything else.</p><p>Instead, I settle for broad low-cost index funds that track the entire market.

Our columnist asked A.I. chatbots how big Nvidia would become if it kept growing as fast as it had over the past year.Tom GrilloIt’s not a household name quite yet, but anyone who follows the stock market knows at least a little about Nvidia.The company is the wonder of the year, a stock by which all others are measured. Nvidia designs the chips that make artificial intelligence work, and because A.I. is being hailed as the most important technological development since the internet, Nvidia shares have been rocketing since last year.I’m not qualified to assess how important — or how dangerous — A.I. will one day become, but I do pay close attention to the stock market, which values Nvidia at more than $2.2 trillion, making it the third-largest public company in the world behind Microsoft and Apple.Enthusiasm for A.I. is raising the share prices not only of Nvidia, but also of many other tech companies that are believed to be imbued with the technology’s potential, including Microsoft, Meta and Alphabet as well as other chipmakers like AMD, Taiwan Semiconductor and Intel.But the blistering rate of Nvidia’s gains — an increase of about 290 percent over the past 12 months — has me and many Wall Street analysts wondering how sustainable this run is. The answer has implications for the entire market.There are many ways to examine this, including traditional stock analysis, which considers sales, earnings, cash flow, business growth and momentum. I took an offbeat approach: asking several A.I. chatbots about Nvidia’s prospects as a stock. Specifically, I asked how big Nvidia’s market value would be in a decade if the company’s share price kept its current pace.What they told me amounted to this: Nvidia stock’s sharp rise can’t continue like this for very long. And because much of the stock market is bound up in the same feverish A.I.-driven stock frenzy, the message is broadly true. If the market doesn’t slow down soon, it may inflate itself into a bubble — and all bubbles eventually burst.On a personal level, I love new tech but I try not to become too excited about it until I’m confident it works safely and reliably. From what I can tell, A.I. produces spectacular images and is fun to play with, but it’s neither reliable nor safe (yet).(The New York Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft in December for copyright infringement of news content related to A.I. systems.)What’s in a quadrillion?To their credit, all three of the A.I. chatbots I asked — Microsoft Copilot, powered by OpenAI’s Chat GPT-4; Google Gemini; and Anthropic’s Claude 3 — were reluctant to answer my questions directly.Each one said it couldn’t assess stock valuations reliably or predict with the slightest degree of accuracy how a stock or the overall market would perform in the future. I wish human stock analysts said as much.Just because Nvidia’s stock price is growing fast now doesn’t mean it will keep growing fast, and certainly not over periods as long as a decade, they all warned me.But I pressed them to perform some basic calculations anyway, which I backstopped with 20th-century technology — a spreadsheet and a calculator.The chatbots didn’t arrive at the same numbers every time and never agreed on the details. That’s another sign, in my humble estimation, that they’re not ready for prime time. I wouldn’t use them for math homework.But in this case, the details didn’t really matter. Ultimately, and with considerable prompting, they all came up with the same basic conclusion: The simple laws of compound arithmetic tell us that if the company’s share price keeps rising at its current rate, Nvidia will end up with a market cap in the quadrillions of dollars.Quadrillions are an order of magnitude I’m not comfortable with, so I resorted to a dictionary: One quadrillion dollars is 1 with 15 zeros after it, or a thousand trillion dollars in American parlance. (In British English, a quadrillion is even bigger: 1 with 24 zeros. I’m using the American definition.)How big is that? The world economy — the combined size of all of the annual gross domestic products of every country on the planet — amounted to $100.88 trillion in 2022, according to the World Bank. So if Nvidia kept growing at its current annual rate, it would dwarf the output of the entire known economic universe within 10 years.Claude 3, the Anthropic A.I. chatbot, calculated that Nvidia, at it’s current growth rate, would become a $2.76962 quadrillion company in 10 years, and then warned me: “This is an extraordinarily large number that seems implausible in reality, as it would make Nvidia larger than the entire global economy many times over.”In plain English, Nvidia’s astonishing growth rate over the past year is far too high to continue for long. I’d be wary about buying shares of Nvidia, or any other stock, in the belief that its momentum is perpetual. What goes up can come down, and, somewhere down the line, it certainly will.This warning reinforces what traditional valuation measures show. Nvidia’s share price, and the prices of many stocks, are high. They can be justified on the assumption that their sales and earnings will grow at a rip-roaring pace. But if share prices rise faster than earnings, the market party will eventually crash.Remember Apple?Nvidia is an impressive company. Its products have a great reputation and are in high demand, and it generates enormous, rapidly growing profits.Its latest earnings report in February, which unleashed tremendous stock market optimism, contained eye-popping numbers. And in a conversation with Wall Street analysts then, Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s chief executive, gave Wall Street something exciting to mull over. The company’s technology is providing the foundations for a new industrial revolution, he said.“We are now at the beginning of a new industry where A.I.-dedicated data centers process massive raw data to refine it into digital intelligence,” he said. “Like A.C. power generation plants of the last industrial revolution, Nvidia A.I. supercomputers are essentially A.I. generation factories of this industrial revolution.”The sky is the limit for the next couple of years, he suggested.But Nvidia will inevitably begin to grow more slowly. It’s absurd to think it can become bigger than everything else in the universe.But it could still grow swiftly. Some companies have managed to sustain long-term rapid growth before.Apple, at various stages since its founding in 1976, has perplexed skeptics who have periodically said it had become too large to keep expanding quickly. In 2012, for example, Apple’s market capitalization was $500 billion and its stock price had risen 68 percent in just eight months.Back then, The New York Times cited an analyst who used a spreadsheet, not a chatbot, to assess Apple’s prospects. The analyst concluded that if the company grew at just 20 percent a year over the following decade — much slower than its growth rate had been in 2012 — Apple would be worth an impossible number by 2022: more than $3 trillion. That number doesn’t look outlandish now.Apple’s market cap isn’t quite there yet, but it’s close, at about $2.7 trillion. Its old rival, Microsoft, which was much smaller than Apple in 2012, now has a market cap that surpasses $3 trillion. These two giants have risen and fallen many times and show every prospect of being able to do so again.I don’t know whether Nvidia belongs in that exalted category, but it’s clear that even though Nvidia won’t be bigger than the entire universe, it could end up being substantially more valuable in the next 10 or 20 years. Then again, it might not.It could be more like Cisco Systems, the most valuable company in the stock market in March 2000. That was the peak of another technology boom — the dot-com bubble. Cisco is still a solid company. Its products make up the backbone of the internet. But its market capitalization in 2000 was $567 billion. Now, it’s around $200 billion.It will be fascinating to watch Nvidia’s destiny unfurl. But because I can’t predict how it or any company will fare in the long run, I don’t buy individual stocks — not Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Cisco or anything else.Instead, I settle for broad low-cost index funds that track the entire market. They are a passive and less risky bet on the future that requires no stock picking.If Nvidia grows rapidly for years to come, I won’t miss out entirely because the overall stock market will probably grow, too. If Nvidia falters, other stocks are likely, at some point, to pick up the slack. That’s what has happened over the past 100 years, anyway. The A.I. boom is a thrilling ride. If it starts to slow, those who have hedged their bets will be pleased that they did.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":342,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":282771582730240,"gmtCreate":1710064541064,"gmtModify":1710064544595,"author":{"id":"3559859558754319","authorId":"3559859558754319","name":"Bodoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349218ea2852130ca86ce660b4aa2d59","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559859558754319","authorIdStr":"3559859558754319"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"All eggs in top7 basket!

In just the past 12 months, the data analytics company&#39;s stock soared by more than 230%. That&#39;s right up there with Nvidia and its 240% returns over the same period. Both stocks have benefited from soaring AI-related demand.</p><p>But given Palantir&#39;s more modest valuation of $55 billion (versus nearly $1.8 trillion for Nvidia), there could still be a lot more room for its stock to run.</p><h2 id=\"id_2697812965\">Palantir&#39;s cash flow is showing significant improvement</h2><p>Generating ample cash is key to a business being able to pursue growth opportunities without having to rely on debt or secondary stock offerings. When its operations are self-sufficient, that can open up significantly more opportunities for a business.</p><p>In the fourth quarter (ended Dec. 31, 2023), Palantir had operating cash flow of $301.2 million. That was more than double the $133.4 million cash it generated in the third quarter. On a year-over-year basis, operating cash flow was up 282%.</p><p>Cash flow may not get as much attention as sales or the bottom line, but investors shouldn&#39;t underestimate its significance. Growth on this metric can put Palantir in a much stronger position to invest in its operations or potentially pursue acquisitions. If the company can keep growing its cash flow, that will be a great sign for the business, and will likely attract more risk-averse investors to its stock as well.</p><h2 id=\"id_3500002651\">Commercial revenue is rising at an increased rate</h2><p>Last year, Palantir began hosting AI &#34;bootcamps&#34; for potential clients -- events designed to help companies uncover potential uses for Palantir&#39;s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP). It&#39;s still early, but there are signs these bootcamps may already be paying off. In Q4, commercial revenue totaled $284 million -- up 32% year over year and up 13% from Q3.</p><p>CEO Alex Karp remains upbeat, saying that demand has been &#34;unrelenting,&#34; and noting that there were fewer than 100 commercial pilots done in 2022, but in 2023 that jumped to 130 plus more than 500 bootcamps. The commercial revenue number is what investors will want to monitor in future quarters, increases would be an excellent sign that the business is successfully converting bootcamp participants into clients.</p><h2 id=\"id_563150499\">Profit margins are looking great</h2><p>Another metric that is sure to win over long-term investors is a strong profit margin. In Q4, Palantir&#39;s net income totaled $96.9 million, which was 15.9% of its top line. A quarter earlier, its profit margin was just 13.2%. That&#39;s a nearly 3 percentage point improvement for the company, which has now posted a profit for five straight quarters.</p><p>If Palantir is able to continue growing its top line while maintaining a strong profit margin, that could help bring down its price-to-earnings multiple, which can make the stock look like a much better buy in the future. A big reason some investors may be avoiding Palantir&#39;s stock today is that its valuation of more than 270 times earnings looks to have gone through the roof.

In just the past 12 months, the data analytics company's stock soared by more than 230%. That's right up there with Nvidia and its 240% returns over the same period. Both stocks have benefited from soaring AI-related demand.But given Palantir's more modest valuation of $55 billion (versus nearly $1.8 trillion for Nvidia), there could still be a lot more room for its stock to run.Palantir's cash flow is showing significant improvementGenerating ample cash is key to a business being able to pursue growth opportunities without having to rely on debt or secondary stock offerings. When its operations are self-sufficient, that can open up significantly more opportunities for a business.In the fourth quarter (ended Dec. 31, 2023), Palantir had operating cash flow of $301.2 million. That was more than double the $133.4 million cash it generated in the third quarter. On a year-over-year basis, operating cash flow was up 282%.Cash flow may not get as much attention as sales or the bottom line, but investors shouldn't underestimate its significance. Growth on this metric can put Palantir in a much stronger position to invest in its operations or potentially pursue acquisitions. If the company can keep growing its cash flow, that will be a great sign for the business, and will likely attract more risk-averse investors to its stock as well.Commercial revenue is rising at an increased rateLast year, Palantir began hosting AI \"bootcamps\" for potential clients -- events designed to help companies uncover potential uses for Palantir's Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP). It's still early, but there are signs these bootcamps may already be paying off. In Q4, commercial revenue totaled $284 million -- up 32% year over year and up 13% from Q3.CEO Alex Karp remains upbeat, saying that demand has been \"unrelenting,\" and noting that there were fewer than 100 commercial pilots done in 2022, but in 2023 that jumped to 130 plus more than 500 bootcamps. The commercial revenue number is what investors will want to monitor in future quarters, increases would be an excellent sign that the business is successfully converting bootcamp participants into clients.Profit margins are looking greatAnother metric that is sure to win over long-term investors is a strong profit margin. In Q4, Palantir's net income totaled $96.9 million, which was 15.9% of its top line. A quarter earlier, its profit margin was just 13.2%. That's a nearly 3 percentage point improvement for the company, which has now posted a profit for five straight quarters.If Palantir is able to continue growing its top line while maintaining a strong profit margin, that could help bring down its price-to-earnings multiple, which can make the stock look like a much better buy in the future. A big reason some investors may be avoiding Palantir's stock today is that its valuation of more than 270 times earnings looks to have gone through the roof. But as that metric shrinks, the stock could attract more investors.Should you buy Palantir stock?Palantir's business looks to be on a promising path, and while its valuation may look expensive right now, the company may grow into it as it capitalizes on the opportunities that AIP opens up. The company's fundamentals are improving, and over time, Palantir's valuation can climb even higher. If you're willing to buy this AI stock and hold it for years, now could be a great time to add Palantir to your portfolio.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":430,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":272201388884184,"gmtCreate":1707493367440,"gmtModify":1707493371946,"author":{"id":"3559859558754319","authorId":"3559859558754319","name":"Bodoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349218ea2852130ca86ce660b4aa2d59","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559859558754319","authorIdStr":"3559859558754319"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"More room to fall with debt defaults rising","listText":"More room to fall with debt defaults rising","text":"More room to fall with debt defaults rising","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/272201388884184","repostId":"2410058415","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2410058415","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1707484920,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2410058415?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-02-09 21:22","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Affirm Stock Falls Sharply After Earnings.

Yes, after the year of efficiency drove exceptional operating margin and earnings improvement, the stock has steadily rallied. But with the just-reported Q4 earnings, the company has cemented its dominance among the Mag 7 stocks. Shares are now up 20% following the just-reported earnings.</p><p>We believe Meta shares are a buy, but recognize that if you have been on the sidelines, you have missed out. With the massive surge in shares, from a position sizing perspective, it may be prudent to trim a small amount so that it does not take up too large of a size of a position. However, we saw shares heading to $500 this year, and now that is within our sights already. Not only is operational performance tremendous, but now shareholders are getting rewarded with added buybacks and the initiation of an inaugural dividend.</p><p>What a chart:</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/58df99de7c63c8704f3099b5a55e8fb3\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"424\"/></p><p>Data by YCharts</p><p></p><p>This certainly moved heavily after being a top 2023 pick, but the gains we have seen over the first month and two days of 2024 are just astounding. Is it justified?</p><p>Believe it or not, the number of people using the Meta platforms continues to grow, even though you may think that Meta has reached saturation levels. For the most part, saturation is close in the most developed nations, though there is room for growth in emerging markets. However, because the user growth metrics are starting to hit the low single-digit mark going forward, in part due to saturation, Meta will now be reporting ad impressions going forward. This is an interesting change, as we have become accustomed to the daily active (&#34;DAU&#34;) and monthly active user (&#34;MAU&#34;) reporting schemes.</p><p>When considering the latter, the growth persists. In December 2023, we saw daily active people on the platforms of 3.19 billion on average, up 8% from December 2022. Monthly active people were 3.98 billion, an increase of 6% year-over-year across the family of platforms. In terms of users, we are nearing a plateau in our estimation, with average daily active users of 2.11 an increase of 6% year-over-year, while monthly active users were up 3% to 3.07 billion.</p><p>Going forward, ad impressions will be the reporting highlight. On that front, ad impressions increased by 21% year-over-year across all the apps, while the average price per ad increased by 2% year-over-year. For all of 2023, ad impressions increased by 28% year-over-year, but earlier in 2023 ads were a bit cheaper, so the average price per ad decreased by 9% year-over-year.</p><p>Now here is one risk that we are considering. User experiences and tolerance levels vary. The more ads are being served, the more it could reduce the user experience. In addition, one thing that is not reported to advertisers regarding the advertising interactions is how many people &#34;accidentally&#34; clicked on the ads. In anecdotal research, a very unscientific poll around our office, we asked staff and staff in neighboring offices if they have ever intentionally clicked on an ad to learn more. Just 2 of 27 people surveyed indicated they had intentionally interacted with an ad to learn more about a service or product. This is just 7%. However, 26/27 responded that they accidentally clicked on an ad before, or 96%.</p><p>Now, we do not read too much into this, as it is a microscopic sample size and informal, but one can cautiously extrapolate this for further research. Our takeaway is simple. A lot more people accidentally interact with ads than intentionally. Ultimately, advertisers may not even care about this, because just getting the eyeballs on their service or product to put it into consumers&#39; minds is a win. In full disclosure, we have also purchased ads on Meta Platforms, while being investors. How very Peter Lynch of us.</p><p>So, that interesting consideration aside, the financial numbers speak for themselves. After the year of efficiency, we have seen tremendous gains. Total Q4 revenue was $40.11 billion and $134.90 billion for the year, an increase of 25% and 16% year-over-year, respectively. Now here is the beauty of the efficiency efforts. While revenues are up significantly, total costs and expenses were down 8% year-over-year in Q4 hitting $23.73 billion. Costs were about flat from 2022 at $88.15 billion for the full year. This is a major win. On top of this, the staffing headcount is down 22% from a year ago to 67,317, saving additional costs.</p><p>The company is also aggressively pursuing AI initiatives to further control costs and optimize its advertisements. They are a major customer of NVIDIA Corporation&#39;s (NVDA) high-end chips. We expect this to further improve the operating margin going forward, and may further impact the need for staff. However, this will lead to increased infrastructure-related spending in 2024. Still, the forward look is mightily impressive, which is why continue to see it as they must own the Mag 7. Q1 revenue is seen at 35.75 million at the midpoint, up from $28.65 billion in Q1 a year ago. That is simply impressive. Considering efficiency in costs, Capex considerations, losses in Reality Lab investments, and infrastructure costs, we see EPS hitting $4.40 in Q1.</p><p>Need more reason to own shares other than the significant growth? Well, Meta&#39;s board approved and declared a cash dividend of $0.50 per share payable on March 26, 2024, to shareholders on record as of February 22, 2024. While the &#34;income&#34; is really a token in terms of yield, the company intends to pay a quarterly dividend moving forward, an added bonus to holding shares. Further boosting shareholder value will be ongoing repurchases. There were $20.03 billion worth of repurchases in 2023. The company just boosted the authorization to another $50 billion.</p><h2 id=\"id_2405657793\">Take home</h2><p>This report was everything we could have asked for and more. Meta has cemented its spot as the top dog in the Mag 7 in our opinion. While risks to the user experience persist, and Reality Labs continues to burn cash, it is a long-term investment. Meta has been one we own, and do not really trade. However, we will shave mildly the position just given the value of the position has grown under a prudent portfolio management strategy.</p><p>It is tough to chase the stock here if you are on the sidelines. But believe it or not, the valuation is not all that stretched. We could see over $20 in EPS this year, so even at $470 per share, that is 23X FWD. Compared to other high-growth tech, or even other Mag 7 names, Meta Platforms, Inc. is still attractively valued. We think dips in the market that knock the stock back should be bought.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

We think dips in the market that knock the stock back should be bought.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":591,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":267739542626376,"gmtCreate":1706397152728,"gmtModify":1706397157075,"author":{"id":"3559859558754319","authorId":"3559859558754319","name":"Bodoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349218ea2852130ca86ce660b4aa2d59","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559859558754319","authorIdStr":"3559859558754319"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Haha","listText":"Haha","text":"Haha","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/267739542626376","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":549,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":265913020580096,"gmtCreate":1705940711770,"gmtModify":1705940716446,"author":{"id":"3559859558754319","authorId":"3559859558754319","name":"Bodoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349218ea2852130ca86ce660b4aa2d59","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559859558754319","authorIdStr":"3559859558754319"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"And hardware is not as big as software","listText":"And hardware is not as big as software","text":"And hardware is not as big as software","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/265913020580096","repostId":"2405702179","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2405702179","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1705935639,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2405702179?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-01-22 23:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMD Stock Falls 3% After Cut at Northland As AI \"Not As Big As Investors Are Thinking\"","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2405702179","media":"Investing.com","summary":"AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) was cut to Market Perform by Northland Capital on Monday, with the firm removing its price target ...(Premium-only article.

They single-handedly brought electric vehicles (EVs) into the mainstream. Elon Musk took a huge chance and won on Tesla. The car industry went from questioning the legitimacy of electric to it being mandated from state to state. It&#39;s been more than 20 years since its founding and more than 13 years since its IPO. Many are unaware, but Elon was not the original founder of Tesla, but did invest in 2004. From its founding to present day, there were plenty of leadership changes, financial close calls and innovations. But there are more and more challenges facing the EV market as a whole; early adopters are running out, EVs are dying in the cold and consumer tastes are turning towards hybrids. In the face of these challenges Tesla has taken action, they have cut pricing on their models globally, as has been widely reported. They have signed agreements with other automakers like Honda, GM, Ford and many others to use their NACS charging standard going forward. This standardization will only help spur demand for EVs across all brands. Tesla has also had a great deal of success with their Energy Storage Business. For those who may not be familiar, the energy generation and storage business sells and installs solar panels for homes and energy storage products for commercial, residential and electric utility power grids. Sales growth from this business segment has been impressive but a very small part of their overall revenue. As of the 3rd quarter of 2023, it represented just over 6% of total revenue. Now, with all of the good that Tesla has done, let&#39;s look at some of the real world challenges they face.</p><p><strong>Supply of early adopters are diminishing</strong></p><p>The early adopters-the ones flush with cash and on the look out to signal to everyone that they are on the cutting edge-are drying up. The market is transitioning to people that value practical and lower costs. The idea for the graph below relates to the book “Crossing the Chasm” by Geoffrey Moore. It talks about the challenges faced when transitioning from early adopters and innovators to the majority of people that are more practical in their outlook. One of the big challenges Tesla and other EV makers are going to face is the pricing of these EVs.</p><p>The 2023 Tesla Model 3 is the cheapest Tesla car currently available. The base rear-wheel drive (RWD) model has a starting price of $40,240 MSRP.</p><p>Now, let&#39;s compare that to other car models that are more “affordable” as rated by Autotrader:</p><ol start=\"1\" style=\"\"><li><p>2023 Nissan Versa: $15,830</p></li><li><p>2023 Mitsubishi Mirage: $16,245</p></li><li><p>2023 Kia Rio: $16,750</p></li><li><p>2023 Hyundai Venue: $19,650</p></li><li><p>2023 Kia Forte: $19,690</p></li><li><p>2023 Subaru Impreza: $19,795</p></li><li><p>2023 Kia Soul: $19,890</p></li><li><p>2023 Nissan Sentra: $20,050</p></li><li><p>2024 Chevrolet Trax: $20,400</p></li></ol><p>We can see there is a big pricing difference. Why does price matter?</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/22a374cbcaca2dac125d8f6ab2a1c8c2\" alt=\"Technology Adoption lifecycle (Medium.com)\" title=\"Technology Adoption lifecycle (Medium.com)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"303\"/><span>Technology Adoption lifecycle (Medium.com)</span></p><p>Well, you can see the income difference in Early Adopters and the general public when you look at the incomes of people who have purchased Teslas so far and the rest of the population.</p><p>Currently, the average household income of new Tesla owners is $150,000, and “as a comparison, the real median household income in the United States in 2022 was $74,580”: Hedges &amp; Company.</p><p>If EV makers want to target the rest of the population, they need to make their cars cheaper. Not just cheaper to buy, but cheaper to keep on the road. There have been a few articles online mentioning huge battery replacement costs.</p><p><strong>Battery replacements can be ridiculously expensive and scary!</strong></p><p>Prices can range from anywhere between $5,000 to $20,000 to replace a battery as has been reported by CarBuzz. Now, this all depends on make and model, but when I look online, they all seem to come on the higher end of these estimates, and some ridiculously more!</p><p>The same article went on to say that Nissan Leaf’s battery replacements should be around $5,500 to replace, but some owners are reporting closer to $19,000. Also, one Tesla owner faced a $15,799 repair bill in 2020 after his Model 3 required a new battery. The battery itself cost $13,500, and the other $2000.00 went towards labor. All these reports and articles can be easily found online by prospective customers.</p><p>The Canadian website Driving.ca recently wrote about one driver that was quoted 50,000 CAD or close to 38,000 USD in today&#39;s exchange rates to replace a battery in this 2017 Hyundai! What sane consumer would buy a used EV for $25,000, knowing when they are out of warranty they may face a similar cost to replace just the battery?</p><p>In America, federal law mandates that manufacturers offer at least eight years or 100,000 mile warranties on EV batteries, but what do you do when it runs out? After a warranty expires, you have to pay for the replacement yourself! If a consumer needs to pay $20,000 for a replacement battery after only 100,000 miles, that will scare away a lot of price-conscious customers. We know they are price conscious since they are looking at used EVs.</p><p><strong>General reliability issues can be an issue with EVs</strong></p><p>On top of this, as reported by Reuters, a 2023 Consumer Reports found new EVs had 79% more problems than traditional gasoline-powered cars.</p><p>“Even with monumental shifts in the auto marketplace, what matters most to consumers remains the same: finding safe, reliable cars,” said Marta L. Tellado, CEO of Consumer Reports and this latest 2023 report.</p><p>The Consumer Reports goes on to say:</p><blockquote><p>“The growing pains that have been plaguing EVs are still apparent in CR’s latest survey. Electric cars, electric SUVs, and electric pickups all rank among the least-reliable vehicle categories.</p><p>Tesla Motors, the market leader in EV sales, continues to have issues with body hardware, paint and trim, and climate system on its models, but are not as problematic for motor, charging, and battery. At number 14, Tesla is the second-highest ranked domestic automaker in CR’s brand rankings. The Model 3 and Model Y have average reliability, while all the other Tesla models–the S, and X–are all below average.”</p></blockquote><p><strong>Secondary market for EVs is bleak</strong></p><p>As one Fortune Magazine article headline read recently<strong>, “</strong>No one wants to buy used EVs and they’re piling up in weed-infested graveyards”.</p><p>Why do I bring up used EVs, well, if you can’t sell your old EV when you want to, then you&#39;re going to hesitate to buy a new EV in the first place.</p><p>A recent article from Forbes highlights dropping demand over the last year for used cars in general, and EVs in particular; “used EV prices are down 33.7 percent while the average used combustion car price is only down 5.1 percent”.</p><p>These price drops can be corroborated with the time spent trying to sell used EVs. Used EVs take the longest to sell right now, while they were one of the quickest categories to sell just 1 year ago. When car dealers know they are going to sit on certain cars for longer, like EVs, they are forced to offer less for those cars.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1082681973d125bcb7ca0db68418b5b4\" alt=\"Used car sales data (iSeeCars)\" title=\"Used car sales data (iSeeCars)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"269\"/><span>Used car sales data (iSeeCars)</span></p><p><strong>Survey reveals consumer preference for hybrid cars over pure EVs</strong></p><p>A few years ago, there was a surge of battery plant investment announcements from automakers. It was like every automaker was either investing billions of dollars or euros into a battery plants or they were signing cooperative agreements with rivals to build new plants or tech. As the surge of early adopters is coming to an end, the rest of the market seems to be hesitant on fully electric EVs. If you talk to most people you know, they like the idea of EVs, a very progressing choice, almost like what we were promised in the TV show, The Jetsons. But when you ask those same people why they have not gotten one yet, you will often hear: too expensive, don’t want my life to revolve around me charging my car, fear if they actually go on a road trip they won’t have a place to charge it. These are all reasonable objections. A lot of these concerns have been echoed in an AP article recently and in other news articles as well. The AP article goes on to mention that many feel hybrids have many of the same advantages of EVs, but alleviate many of their concerns regarding charging, resale market, long trips and so on. With more and more people openly preferring hybrids over fully electric EVs, I think Tesla will have their margins squeezed.</p><p><strong>Tesla valuation concerns</strong></p><p>With all the traditional automakers offering some kind of fully electric EV and offering hybrid versions of their standard gasoline cars, I don’t see how Tesla can keep on growing at phenomenal rates. You can see from the table below that their growth is slowing down.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/358db1a8b04451af387604dca94fa703\" alt=\"Data from Zacks.com\" title=\"Data from Zacks.com\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"133\"/><span>Data from Zacks.com</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1f9d4456c5c35a982e5ead398c99fec6\" alt=\"Data from Zacks.com\" title=\"Data from Zacks.com\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"74\"/><span>Data from Zacks.com</span></p><p>You can see in the table above recent quarterly sales from Tesla. When you look at the quarterly data, it looks like sales for Tesla have already started to plateau. If this is the case, maybe Tesla has already entered the mature company phase. You can see that revenue is stable and if you just add up the last 4 quarters it comes out to 96 billion in revenue, that would make it only a 17% increase from last year.</p><p>When we look at valuing Tesla, common formula like Justified P/E, P/S and P/B don’t work since they all need a dividend to be paid. We are going to need to approach this valuation by comparing ratios and deciding how long their super-fast growth rates can continue.</p><p>I do believe Tesla, under the leadership of Musk can be one of the fastest-growing car companies in the future; but, will it be growing 2x as fast as its comparable competitors? I don’t think it can grow 2x as fast into perpetuity, that just defies economics when you have similar products and plenty of competition. Let&#39;s not forget that Tesla is only electric, people are pushing for hybrids.</p><p>When I was looking at the sales growth data from just 2 years ago I was expecting to add a few years of above average growth to my forecast, and then discount the value back to the present, but it looks like Tesla has already hit normal market growth.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fff1ecaf67f5fa28916e807cd1808899\" alt=\"Zacks.com and YahooFinance!\" title=\"Zacks.com and YahooFinance!\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"126\"/><span>Zacks.com and YahooFinance!</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0108937365d388309d7ec5622a7b7f30\" alt=\"Data from Zacks.com\" title=\"Data from Zacks.com\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"211\"/><span>Data from Zacks.com</span></p><p>For my estimate of yearly sales, the revenue over the last few quarters has been stable. I might as well just add the last 4 quarters and assume this is what the total will be for 2023. This may seem like a simple approach, but my numbers here are not to develop a precise income per share estimate, but rather to see if Tesla is reasonably valued, under or overvalued, or grossly under or overvalued.</p><p>When I look at the numbers, I’m starting to think, Tesla is grossly overvalued. It&#39;s hard to envision a case for super-fast growth anymore with early adopters running out and consumers becoming more conscious of issues (problems) that arise with pure EV ownership.</p><p>Even when you compare Tesla’s valuation to Toyota and Honda, which have similar 3-5 year earnings growth estimates, Tesla is vastly more expensive. At the end of the day, whether you&#39;re selling rubber tires, computers, or cars that are basically large computers running on rubber tires; it&#39;s all about earnings and the future growth of those earnings.</p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p><p>I don&#39;t see the case for Tesla’s current valuation and I don’t see the case for Tesla’s continued supercharged growth. The competition in the car market for EVs is only increasing and consumer sentiment is only shifting toward hybrids. If you take a look at the valuations of traditional car companies using P/S the average P/S is 0.4 and the highest P/S comes from Toyota at 0.93. I split the difference between the average and Toyota and picked 0.7. You can see just from P/S how much more expensive Tesla is.</p><p>When it comes to reliability, even this week-after a large snowstorm in the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MDWT\">Midwest</a>-we get a headline from Fox that reads “Chicago-area Tesla charging stations lined with dead cars in freezing cold”.</p><p>Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a detractor of Elon Musk’s vision. I will be the first in line to buy an IPO of Starlink or SpaceX if they ever come to market. Tesla has also made some quality cars, like the one written about in this motor1.com article, which has surpassed 1.2 million miles; yes miles not kilometers. But, as you read this article pay attention to some of a “small” details:</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>The “Model S has a real-life range of around 400 kilometers (249 miles)”</p></li><li><p>The owner Hansjörg von Gemmingen-Hornberg “has been careful not to abuse the battery by avoiding driving the car for longer than 62 miles (100 kilometers) at a time.”</p></li><li><p>“He also doesn&#39;t wait for the battery to be fully depleted by recharging it when it drops below 20 percent”</p></li><li><p>“at least 13 motor replacements”</p></li><li><p>3 battery packs replaced.</p></li></ul><p>Most people in the west don’t have time to orientate their lives around their cars charging schedule; we are busy enough as it is.

They single-handedly brought electric vehicles (EVs) into the mainstream. Elon Musk took a huge chance and won on Tesla. The car industry went from questioning the legitimacy of electric to it being mandated from state to state. It's been more than 20 years since its founding and more than 13 years since its IPO. Many are unaware, but Elon was not the original founder of Tesla, but did invest in 2004. From its founding to present day, there were plenty of leadership changes, financial close calls and innovations. But there are more and more challenges facing the EV market as a whole; early adopters are running out, EVs are dying in the cold and consumer tastes are turning towards hybrids. In the face of these challenges Tesla has taken action, they have cut pricing on their models globally, as has been widely reported. They have signed agreements with other automakers like Honda, GM, Ford and many others to use their NACS charging standard going forward. This standardization will only help spur demand for EVs across all brands. Tesla has also had a great deal of success with their Energy Storage Business. For those who may not be familiar, the energy generation and storage business sells and installs solar panels for homes and energy storage products for commercial, residential and electric utility power grids. Sales growth from this business segment has been impressive but a very small part of their overall revenue. As of the 3rd quarter of 2023, it represented just over 6% of total revenue. Now, with all of the good that Tesla has done, let's look at some of the real world challenges they face.Supply of early adopters are diminishingThe early adopters-the ones flush with cash and on the look out to signal to everyone that they are on the cutting edge-are drying up. The market is transitioning to people that value practical and lower costs. The idea for the graph below relates to the book “Crossing the Chasm” by Geoffrey Moore. It talks about the challenges faced when transitioning from early adopters and innovators to the majority of people that are more practical in their outlook. One of the big challenges Tesla and other EV makers are going to face is the pricing of these EVs.The 2023 Tesla Model 3 is the cheapest Tesla car currently available. The base rear-wheel drive (RWD) model has a starting price of $40,240 MSRP.Now, let's compare that to other car models that are more “affordable” as rated by Autotrader:2023 Nissan Versa: $15,8302023 Mitsubishi Mirage: $16,2452023 Kia Rio: $16,7502023 Hyundai Venue: $19,6502023 Kia Forte: $19,6902023 Subaru Impreza: $19,7952023 Kia Soul: $19,8902023 Nissan Sentra: $20,0502024 Chevrolet Trax: $20,400We can see there is a big pricing difference. Why does price matter?Technology Adoption lifecycle (Medium.com)Well, you can see the income difference in Early Adopters and the general public when you look at the incomes of people who have purchased Teslas so far and the rest of the population.Currently, the average household income of new Tesla owners is $150,000, and “as a comparison, the real median household income in the United States in 2022 was $74,580”: Hedges & Company.If EV makers want to target the rest of the population, they need to make their cars cheaper. Not just cheaper to buy, but cheaper to keep on the road. There have been a few articles online mentioning huge battery replacement costs.Battery replacements can be ridiculously expensive and scary!Prices can range from anywhere between $5,000 to $20,000 to replace a battery as has been reported by CarBuzz. Now, this all depends on make and model, but when I look online, they all seem to come on the higher end of these estimates, and some ridiculously more!The same article went on to say that Nissan Leaf’s battery replacements should be around $5,500 to replace, but some owners are reporting closer to $19,000. Also, one Tesla owner faced a $15,799 repair bill in 2020 after his Model 3 required a new battery. The battery itself cost $13,500, and the other $2000.00 went towards labor. All these reports and articles can be easily found online by prospective customers.The Canadian website Driving.ca recently wrote about one driver that was quoted 50,000 CAD or close to 38,000 USD in today's exchange rates to replace a battery in this 2017 Hyundai! What sane consumer would buy a used EV for $25,000, knowing when they are out of warranty they may face a similar cost to replace just the battery?In America, federal law mandates that manufacturers offer at least eight years or 100,000 mile warranties on EV batteries, but what do you do when it runs out? After a warranty expires, you have to pay for the replacement yourself! If a consumer needs to pay $20,000 for a replacement battery after only 100,000 miles, that will scare away a lot of price-conscious customers. We know they are price conscious since they are looking at used EVs.General reliability issues can be an issue with EVsOn top of this, as reported by Reuters, a 2023 Consumer Reports found new EVs had 79% more problems than traditional gasoline-powered cars.“Even with monumental shifts in the auto marketplace, what matters most to consumers remains the same: finding safe, reliable cars,” said Marta L. Tellado, CEO of Consumer Reports and this latest 2023 report.The Consumer Reports goes on to say:“The growing pains that have been plaguing EVs are still apparent in CR’s latest survey. Electric cars, electric SUVs, and electric pickups all rank among the least-reliable vehicle categories.Tesla Motors, the market leader in EV sales, continues to have issues with body hardware, paint and trim, and climate system on its models, but are not as problematic for motor, charging, and battery. At number 14, Tesla is the second-highest ranked domestic automaker in CR’s brand rankings. The Model 3 and Model Y have average reliability, while all the other Tesla models–the S, and X–are all below average.”Secondary market for EVs is bleakAs one Fortune Magazine article headline read recently, “No one wants to buy used EVs and they’re piling up in weed-infested graveyards”.Why do I bring up used EVs, well, if you can’t sell your old EV when you want to, then you're going to hesitate to buy a new EV in the first place.A recent article from Forbes highlights dropping demand over the last year for used cars in general, and EVs in particular; “used EV prices are down 33.7 percent while the average used combustion car price is only down 5.1 percent”.These price drops can be corroborated with the time spent trying to sell used EVs. Used EVs take the longest to sell right now, while they were one of the quickest categories to sell just 1 year ago. When car dealers know they are going to sit on certain cars for longer, like EVs, they are forced to offer less for those cars.Used car sales data (iSeeCars)Survey reveals consumer preference for hybrid cars over pure EVsA few years ago, there was a surge of battery plant investment announcements from automakers. It was like every automaker was either investing billions of dollars or euros into a battery plants or they were signing cooperative agreements with rivals to build new plants or tech. As the surge of early adopters is coming to an end, the rest of the market seems to be hesitant on fully electric EVs. If you talk to most people you know, they like the idea of EVs, a very progressing choice, almost like what we were promised in the TV show, The Jetsons. But when you ask those same people why they have not gotten one yet, you will often hear: too expensive, don’t want my life to revolve around me charging my car, fear if they actually go on a road trip they won’t have a place to charge it. These are all reasonable objections. A lot of these concerns have been echoed in an AP article recently and in other news articles as well. The AP article goes on to mention that many feel hybrids have many of the same advantages of EVs, but alleviate many of their concerns regarding charging, resale market, long trips and so on. With more and more people openly preferring hybrids over fully electric EVs, I think Tesla will have their margins squeezed.Tesla valuation concernsWith all the traditional automakers offering some kind of fully electric EV and offering hybrid versions of their standard gasoline cars, I don’t see how Tesla can keep on growing at phenomenal rates. You can see from the table below that their growth is slowing down.Data from Zacks.comData from Zacks.comYou can see in the table above recent quarterly sales from Tesla. When you look at the quarterly data, it looks like sales for Tesla have already started to plateau. If this is the case, maybe Tesla has already entered the mature company phase. You can see that revenue is stable and if you just add up the last 4 quarters it comes out to 96 billion in revenue, that would make it only a 17% increase from last year.When we look at valuing Tesla, common formula like Justified P/E, P/S and P/B don’t work since they all need a dividend to be paid. We are going to need to approach this valuation by comparing ratios and deciding how long their super-fast growth rates can continue.I do believe Tesla, under the leadership of Musk can be one of the fastest-growing car companies in the future; but, will it be growing 2x as fast as its comparable competitors? I don’t think it can grow 2x as fast into perpetuity, that just defies economics when you have similar products and plenty of competition. Let's not forget that Tesla is only electric, people are pushing for hybrids.When I was looking at the sales growth data from just 2 years ago I was expecting to add a few years of above average growth to my forecast, and then discount the value back to the present, but it looks like Tesla has already hit normal market growth.Zacks.com and YahooFinance!Data from Zacks.comFor my estimate of yearly sales, the revenue over the last few quarters has been stable. I might as well just add the last 4 quarters and assume this is what the total will be for 2023. This may seem like a simple approach, but my numbers here are not to develop a precise income per share estimate, but rather to see if Tesla is reasonably valued, under or overvalued, or grossly under or overvalued.When I look at the numbers, I’m starting to think, Tesla is grossly overvalued. It's hard to envision a case for super-fast growth anymore with early adopters running out and consumers becoming more conscious of issues (problems) that arise with pure EV ownership.Even when you compare Tesla’s valuation to Toyota and Honda, which have similar 3-5 year earnings growth estimates, Tesla is vastly more expensive. At the end of the day, whether you're selling rubber tires, computers, or cars that are basically large computers running on rubber tires; it's all about earnings and the future growth of those earnings.ConclusionI don't see the case for Tesla’s current valuation and I don’t see the case for Tesla’s continued supercharged growth. The competition in the car market for EVs is only increasing and consumer sentiment is only shifting toward hybrids. If you take a look at the valuations of traditional car companies using P/S the average P/S is 0.4 and the highest P/S comes from Toyota at 0.93. I split the difference between the average and Toyota and picked 0.7. You can see just from P/S how much more expensive Tesla is.When it comes to reliability, even this week-after a large snowstorm in the Midwest-we get a headline from Fox that reads “Chicago-area Tesla charging stations lined with dead cars in freezing cold”.Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a detractor of Elon Musk’s vision. I will be the first in line to buy an IPO of Starlink or SpaceX if they ever come to market. Tesla has also made some quality cars, like the one written about in this motor1.com article, which has surpassed 1.2 million miles; yes miles not kilometers. But, as you read this article pay attention to some of a “small” details:The “Model S has a real-life range of around 400 kilometers (249 miles)”The owner Hansjörg von Gemmingen-Hornberg “has been careful not to abuse the battery by avoiding driving the car for longer than 62 miles (100 kilometers) at a time.”“He also doesn't wait for the battery to be fully depleted by recharging it when it drops below 20 percent”“at least 13 motor replacements”3 battery packs replaced.Most people in the west don’t have time to orientate their lives around their cars charging schedule; we are busy enough as it is. This is why I don’t recommend a purchase of Tesla stock. I see too many headwinds affecting their sales growth and stock price.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":206,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":264133169127480,"gmtCreate":1705505073136,"gmtModify":1705505077728,"author":{"id":"3559859558754319","authorId":"3559859558754319","name":"Bodoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349218ea2852130ca86ce660b4aa2d59","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559859558754319","authorIdStr":"3559859558754319"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cost control and technology moat can be sustained?

In absolute terms, the stock has only become more expensive (obviously), which means the possible downside has only become greater, arguably more so than the upside going forward, even despite the valuation at first sight not being excessive.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">One cannot predict how much demand Nvidia will see in the future for its chips. While, sure, the explosion of demand due to GAI has accelerated what was already a multiyear uptrend, investors do have to weigh the growth of AI (on one hand) against the competitive dynamics of a player with very high market share and pricing, which it has the risk of losing (on the other hand).</p><h2 id=\"id_820570108\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Background</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">To be sure, the thesis here isn&#39;t that Nvidia is necessarily overvalued or in a bubble. Given the explosion in sales and profits, since that is of course what the stock price reflects (with a certain multiple of sales and/or profits), it has indeed pretty much grown in line with these results. So already in previous coverage of the stock, I had conceded to being wrong about Nvidia: Nvidia: All Bets Are Off.</p><h2 id=\"id_3286423564\" style=\"text-align: left;\">History and Competitive Landscape</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">A while ago, Intel (INTC) CEO Pat Gelsinger said that, while he acknowledged Nvidia&#39;s success in this market, it was nevertheless the result of luck. To recap, AI is a highly parallelizable workload. As such, when it started gaining prevalence (since 2012), it was found to run faster on GPUs (originally created for gaming where many pixels need to be rendered simultaneously) than on the more general-purpose CPU. That&#39;s why Nvidia mostly benefited from the rise of AI rather than Intel.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">It wasn&#39;t until 2017, however, that Nvidia introduced the first deep learning-specific acceleration into its GPUs with its Tensor Cores. By that time, Intel too had already introduced the VNNI instruction into its Xeon Phi line-up (which was its many-core CPU at the time that competed against Nvidia in HPC) and had also acquired Nervana in 2016, the predecessor to its 2019 Habana acquisition that it currently positions as its competitive solution to Nvidia.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In that regard, my own view would be that it has been a combination of luck and skill. While Nvidia clearly has strongly executed on its roadmap, Intel on the other hand stumbled (both with its own 10nm process, which caused the delay and reduced the competitiveness of practically all of its products, as well as by axing all Nervana development in favor of restarting with Habana) right as the demand for AI (hardware) first started meaningfully increasing around 2017.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Besides Intel and AMD (AMD), which like Intel has also been late to launch a competitive product, there had also been a boom in AI chip start-ups. None of those has been very successful either. Lastly, many bigger companies also started developing their own chips with more mixed results, such as the Google (GOOG) TPU and Amazon (AMZN) Trainium and Inferentia.</p><h2 id=\"id_3218883224\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Implications</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Nvidia&#39;s position in the AI market seems reminiscent of Intel in the data center up to about half a decade ago. Intel had the market completely for itself, as AMD was still in the midst of developing Epyc and getting some initial adoption. While this resulted in some criticism as Intel rolled out its highest-specced Xeons for $10k or even more at the time, arguably those dwarf in comparison to the pricing of Nvidia&#39;s latest H100 (and upcoming H200) series, which during this time of shortages has ballooned to tens of thousands of dollars (and probably was never less than $20k or so, to begin with). For comparison, TSMC (TSM) charges less than $20k for a N5-class wafer, which contains on the order of 70 chips.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In my view, this means that Nvidia is leaving the market wide open for competition to enter with competitive (similarly performing) products at a potentially substantially reduced price. This is starting to happen from both AMD and Intel. Although many bulls have argued that Nvidia has a moat with its CUDA software, as Pat Gelsinger has said this is a shallow moat at best as software development mostly occurs in higher-level languages such as Python.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Since for any rational business there is no fundamental reason to buy an Nvidia chip over a similarly performing (but much cheaper) Intel or AMD chip, this means that traditional competitive market dynamics at some point should kick in. This will most likely result in <em>both</em> market share and pricing power loss for Nvidia.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">From that view, investors should ask themselves if they would rather invest in a ~$200B or ~$1.35T company. Note that <em>both</em> companies, so also the smaller one, have more than enough resources to develop an AI chip. And since the power and performance characteristics of these chips are largely determined/limited by process technology, the resulting chips should indeed be quite similar (except for price). That is exactly what it seen in the market. In fact, since Intel&#39;s Gaudi series lacks traditional GPU functionality, the Gaudi chips are actually noticeably superior to their Nvidia competitor on the same process technology (see MLPerf).</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">To use some concrete math, if Nvidia would lose half of its market share and had to reduce prices by half, then its revenue would drop by 75%. Note that Nvidia&#39;s margin is so high that reducing the price by 2x is still a very conservative scenario. If one treats these chips as commodities such as in the memory (DRAM/NAND) space (which arguably isn&#39;t all that far-fetched), then Nvidia&#39;s prices would literally have to drop by on the order of 10x. (Note that this estimate has been obtained by only considering the cost of the silicon chip, any other components such as the HBM memory and CoWoS packaging are neglected.)</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Ultimately, this is the kind of risk, which is far from unrealistic, that investors at least must consider, and then weigh this compared to any possible further upside that has <em>not</em> yet been baked into the stock price. Since being valued as a growth stock means there is already some considerable further increase in demand baked into the price, demand would have to surpass even these levels for the share price to increase anything <em>at all</em>.</p><h2 id=\"id_2288305640\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Additional Considerations</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As stated, it is not possible to predict the future demand for AI hardware. Even if the risk thesis as described so far exactly plays out, there is still the possibility that the market might grow faster and/or become larger than any theoretical loss in revenue from lower prices and market share, as, for example, AMD has predicted at its event late last year. Also, similar to Intel, inertia would already go a long way towards preventing too sudden market share shifts.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">So, to recap some possible drivers of demand for investors to consider for themselves. One is the difference between training and inference. Training a model must be done only once, so the demand for training hardware likely has a quite finite limit. Nevertheless, the training workload is such that it could quite literally use an <em>unlimited</em> amount of computing power, since training the largest models on enormous amounts of data could take many months, and even then it would still be possible to further increase the amount of data and/or parameters.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Hence, this likely has some implications with regard to price elasticity. For example, instead of companies buying a certain number of chips, instead, they might have a certain budget in dollars, and they might just buy as much chips as they can within that budget. So, if Nvidia would reduce the price by 2x, they might just buy 2x more GPUs.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Note, though, that in this case, since even the largest clouds and big tech companies only have a finite budget, there should indeed be some upper limit on demand, and investors would have to answer why, besides the shortages, this limit would not have been reached yet in the wake of the ChatGPT hype, with Nvidia&#39;s run rate approaching $80B (which in terms of the total cost of a data center only represents spending on GPUs and networking), and instead would continue to grow considerably for years to come.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">On the other hand, and perhaps this is the answer to the previous question, while inference (using the trained model) is generally considered to be the main AI application in the long-term, it nevertheless has somewhat different compute requirements, as the computation cost of a single inference is generally much lower. Instead of training a model for months, in inference one requires results in seconds or milliseconds.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">This in turn means that it could be more suitable for other chips than GPUs, such as CPUs with on-chip accelerators. Intel has such hardware with its latest Xeon and Core Ultra server and client/edge CPUs. Indeed, inference in some/many cases/applications could simply happen on-device instead of on an expensive Nvidia GPU in the cloud.</p><h2 id=\"id_251675249\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Financial Discussion</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As a reminder, the Nvidia rally started due to the guidance for $11B revenue in the (calendar) Q2 2023 quarter, up from around $7B. Since then, the revenue has surged to over $18B in the most recently reported quarter, with guidance for $20B in Q4, implying a tripling in revenue in just a few quarters. Given its extremely high margins, EPS has similarly surged from ~$1 to ~$4 (which has allowed the stock to quadruple without changing the valuation multiple).</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The fact that basically all this (additional) revenue and profit is generated in/from the data center also shows both the data center revenue TAM expansion as well as the increase in revenue market share, as just a few years ago basically the vast majority of the data center silicon logic market was captured by Intel.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The forward estimate is for over $90B in revenue in 2024. While this is very large in dollar terms, unlike anything even Intel reported when it still had a CPU monopoly (Intel&#39;s highest was on the order of $30B data center revenue, which included its telco networking business), in terms of units this would correspond to roughly 2 million H100/H200s at a price of $40k per unit. This is an ASP (average selling price) that is on the order of 40x larger than either AMD or Intel. This means Intel will actually still sell a lot more silicon into the data center (millions of Xeons each quarter), just at a much lower price.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">While bulls may see this disparity in ASP between both as Nvidia&#39;s crowning achievement, for more sceptical investors this should present one large red flag. As a monopolist, Nvidia enjoys an absolute pricing power, which has resulted in prices very far from having any relation to the actual cost of goods sold of the hardware. As mentioned, Nvidia could likely drop its prices by 10x and still end up with margins in line or above the industry. Clearly, selling 2 million H100/H200s at $4k per unit would provide a very different financial picture. Although, as also discussed there could be some price elasticity considerations in that case, as Nvidia would then probably sell a lot more of those $4k chips.</p><h2 id=\"id_1643248076\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Valuation</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The valuation is a $1.35T market cap. Based on Q4 guidance of $20B revenue and analyst expectation of $4.5 EPS, this represents a valuation of 17x P/S and 30x P/E. This is not excessively expensive given the supposed further growth through 2024, catching up from the shortages. While 17x P/S normally should be considered expensive, the fact that EPS is only a 30x multiple again shows its extremely high margins.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In the picture of the overall thesis, the main point here hasn&#39;t been that the stock is overvalued, it is rather the risk that Nvidia is currently capitalizing as basically the only scaled supplier of chips powering the LLM/AI explosion. So as more suppliers (read: Intel and AMD) ramp their competitive products, more healthy market dynamics should kick in, forcing prices downwards and reducing Nvidia&#39;s market share. Both (for now hypothetical) trends would drastically reduce revenue and earnings going forward. <em>It is only then that the stock would become expensive.</em></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">So even if demand for these AI chips/workloads increases further in the years ahead, in principle confirming the thesis that AI is and remains a growth opportunity, this potential scenario could nevertheless mean that Nvidia&#39;s revenue might be near an all-time/long-term high. This is similar to what has been discussed in the All-In podcast.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In essence, the question is how to bring Nvidia&#39;s monopolistic position into the valuation, with some of the scenarios ranging from maintaining market share and pricing power (which given the billions of dollars Nvidia&#39;s current customers could potentially save by switching suppliers seems very unlikely), to seeing a dramatic decline in both, so something in between.</p><h2 id=\"id_2379261893\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Risks</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Besides the risks (for both bull and bear cases) already discussed, given that Nvidia has been in supply constraint, at least some of the future growth is already pretty much locked in. Nevertheless, this still does not rule out the possibility of a correction in demand later.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Secondly, one of the main arguments is that Nvidia does not have a moat since/and chips for AI are basically commodities. While this might be the case to approximation, factors such as inertia could still prevent quick market share swings.</p><h2 id=\"id_3807732764\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Why Would Chips Be Commodities?</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In extension of the previous risk section, a major part of this thesis hinges on the statement that AI chips should to at least some extent be considered commodities, where healthy competition between multiple vendors is possible, which obviously has major implications on the possible margins that can be obtained in this market.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">This might be a bit of a more controversial statement, since after all chip design often takes many years and millions up to hundreds of millions of dollars. In addition, aspects should as programmability also require a development burden. Indeed, these observations alone clearly indicate that it can&#39;t be a pure commodity.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The main argument is that AI is a highly parallel workload. It is basically just pure (repetitive) math, for which hardware capability is measured in operations per second (OPS). This means that the base unit (the equivalent of a single core in a multi-core CPU) is a very simple core, which is then repeated a gazillion times in order to create a large, powerful chip. So while the details may be a bit more complicated, there really isn&#39;t much room for differentiation since the goal is simply to obtain as many TOPS (Tera-OPS) as possible. As discussed, both AMD and Intel by now have launched very similarly performing chips.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Also note that this idea of a small core (&#34;cell&#34;) is quite similar to the main commodity market in semiconductors, which is memory and storage. In memory, a small memory cell is indeed also repeated a gazillion times. While, again, the details may be a bit more complicated (for example, in NAND there are things like controllers), there really isn&#39;t much level for differentiation, at least not beyond the process technology level.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Overall, with reported price tags ranging from $20-40k per chip, even if this includes things like HBM and a PCB, in the CPU space not too long ago $4-8k (about a 5-10x lower price) already would have been considered very expensive even for the most high-end chips. Again, there is no fundamental technology in an AI chip that warrants such an excessive premium (compared to already premium-priced CPUs). In fact, as just argued CPUs are actually more advanced than GPUs/NPUs (since a single CPU core is orders larger than one GPU/NPU core).</p><h2 id=\"id_3160269734\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Investor Takeaway</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Be fearful when others are greedy. Various anecdotal reports keep surfacing from people considering Nvidia to be cheaper than it was before its rally, and hence, keep buying Nvidia at the current price. However, with a $1.35T market cap, Nvidia is far from cheap in absolute terms.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The main warning is that using forward estimates as gospel entails serious risks, and as discussed regarding Nvidia and the LLM hype, these risks are very legitimate. Note that risk could simply mean an unknown, and indeed, even before any other considerations, there are many unknowns regarding the evolution of AI hardware demand. While, granted, in the bull case the potential demand for AI computation/hardware is virtually limitless, there are nevertheless various economic constraints and realities. With revenue already in the tens of billions of dollars, this is charting into the unknown of what has ever been seen before in the data center market, never mind any further upside.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Nevertheless, that is exactly what is required to capture investor-grade returns going forward. So as discussed, with legitimate competition from both Intel and AMD seriously ramping up, and no moat (having debunked the CUDA myth) that would fundamentally prevent competitors from taking market share, nor any real possible differentiation that would in principle prevent prices from going to the bottom, Nvidia&#39;s margins at the end of the day are simply too high for this not to be a real and large concern. There <em>is simply nothing at all in Nvidia&#39;s chips that warrants the excessive prices/margins that it asks its customers.</em> The only logical expectation is for natural competitive market dynamics to kick in, to Nvidia&#39;s shareholders&#39; large detriment, with the first signs of this indeed becoming visible from AMD and Intel.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Investors who feel lucky (as Pat Gelsinger has argued) might buy Nvidia based on the case of ever-growing demand and miraculously maintaining market share and pricing power. But any rational and risk-aware investor should probably avoid the stock based on too many unknowns, uncertainties, and risks of a stock with a very elevated valuation.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

In absolute terms, the stock has only become more expensive (obviously), which means the possible downside has only become greater, arguably more so than the upside going forward, even despite the valuation at first sight not being excessive.One cannot predict how much demand Nvidia will see in the future for its chips. While, sure, the explosion of demand due to GAI has accelerated what was already a multiyear uptrend, investors do have to weigh the growth of AI (on one hand) against the competitive dynamics of a player with very high market share and pricing, which it has the risk of losing (on the other hand).BackgroundTo be sure, the thesis here isn't that Nvidia is necessarily overvalued or in a bubble. Given the explosion in sales and profits, since that is of course what the stock price reflects (with a certain multiple of sales and/or profits), it has indeed pretty much grown in line with these results. So already in previous coverage of the stock, I had conceded to being wrong about Nvidia: Nvidia: All Bets Are Off.History and Competitive LandscapeA while ago, Intel (INTC) CEO Pat Gelsinger said that, while he acknowledged Nvidia's success in this market, it was nevertheless the result of luck. To recap, AI is a highly parallelizable workload. As such, when it started gaining prevalence (since 2012), it was found to run faster on GPUs (originally created for gaming where many pixels need to be rendered simultaneously) than on the more general-purpose CPU. That's why Nvidia mostly benefited from the rise of AI rather than Intel.It wasn't until 2017, however, that Nvidia introduced the first deep learning-specific acceleration into its GPUs with its Tensor Cores. By that time, Intel too had already introduced the VNNI instruction into its Xeon Phi line-up (which was its many-core CPU at the time that competed against Nvidia in HPC) and had also acquired Nervana in 2016, the predecessor to its 2019 Habana acquisition that it currently positions as its competitive solution to Nvidia.In that regard, my own view would be that it has been a combination of luck and skill. While Nvidia clearly has strongly executed on its roadmap, Intel on the other hand stumbled (both with its own 10nm process, which caused the delay and reduced the competitiveness of practically all of its products, as well as by axing all Nervana development in favor of restarting with Habana) right as the demand for AI (hardware) first started meaningfully increasing around 2017.Besides Intel and AMD (AMD), which like Intel has also been late to launch a competitive product, there had also been a boom in AI chip start-ups. None of those has been very successful either. Lastly, many bigger companies also started developing their own chips with more mixed results, such as the Google (GOOG) TPU and Amazon (AMZN) Trainium and Inferentia.ImplicationsNvidia's position in the AI market seems reminiscent of Intel in the data center up to about half a decade ago. Intel had the market completely for itself, as AMD was still in the midst of developing Epyc and getting some initial adoption. While this resulted in some criticism as Intel rolled out its highest-specced Xeons for $10k or even more at the time, arguably those dwarf in comparison to the pricing of Nvidia's latest H100 (and upcoming H200) series, which during this time of shortages has ballooned to tens of thousands of dollars (and probably was never less than $20k or so, to begin with). For comparison, TSMC (TSM) charges less than $20k for a N5-class wafer, which contains on the order of 70 chips.In my view, this means that Nvidia is leaving the market wide open for competition to enter with competitive (similarly performing) products at a potentially substantially reduced price. This is starting to happen from both AMD and Intel. Although many bulls have argued that Nvidia has a moat with its CUDA software, as Pat Gelsinger has said this is a shallow moat at best as software development mostly occurs in higher-level languages such as Python.Since for any rational business there is no fundamental reason to buy an Nvidia chip over a similarly performing (but much cheaper) Intel or AMD chip, this means that traditional competitive market dynamics at some point should kick in. This will most likely result in both market share and pricing power loss for Nvidia.From that view, investors should ask themselves if they would rather invest in a ~$200B or ~$1.35T company. Note that both companies, so also the smaller one, have more than enough resources to develop an AI chip. And since the power and performance characteristics of these chips are largely determined/limited by process technology, the resulting chips should indeed be quite similar (except for price). That is exactly what it seen in the market. In fact, since Intel's Gaudi series lacks traditional GPU functionality, the Gaudi chips are actually noticeably superior to their Nvidia competitor on the same process technology (see MLPerf).To use some concrete math, if Nvidia would lose half of its market share and had to reduce prices by half, then its revenue would drop by 75%. Note that Nvidia's margin is so high that reducing the price by 2x is still a very conservative scenario. If one treats these chips as commodities such as in the memory (DRAM/NAND) space (which arguably isn't all that far-fetched), then Nvidia's prices would literally have to drop by on the order of 10x. (Note that this estimate has been obtained by only considering the cost of the silicon chip, any other components such as the HBM memory and CoWoS packaging are neglected.)Ultimately, this is the kind of risk, which is far from unrealistic, that investors at least must consider, and then weigh this compared to any possible further upside that has not yet been baked into the stock price. Since being valued as a growth stock means there is already some considerable further increase in demand baked into the price, demand would have to surpass even these levels for the share price to increase anything at all.Additional ConsiderationsAs stated, it is not possible to predict the future demand for AI hardware. Even if the risk thesis as described so far exactly plays out, there is still the possibility that the market might grow faster and/or become larger than any theoretical loss in revenue from lower prices and market share, as, for example, AMD has predicted at its event late last year. Also, similar to Intel, inertia would already go a long way towards preventing too sudden market share shifts.So, to recap some possible drivers of demand for investors to consider for themselves. One is the difference between training and inference. Training a model must be done only once, so the demand for training hardware likely has a quite finite limit. Nevertheless, the training workload is such that it could quite literally use an unlimited amount of computing power, since training the largest models on enormous amounts of data could take many months, and even then it would still be possible to further increase the amount of data and/or parameters.Hence, this likely has some implications with regard to price elasticity. For example, instead of companies buying a certain number of chips, instead, they might have a certain budget in dollars, and they might just buy as much chips as they can within that budget. So, if Nvidia would reduce the price by 2x, they might just buy 2x more GPUs.Note, though, that in this case, since even the largest clouds and big tech companies only have a finite budget, there should indeed be some upper limit on demand, and investors would have to answer why, besides the shortages, this limit would not have been reached yet in the wake of the ChatGPT hype, with Nvidia's run rate approaching $80B (which in terms of the total cost of a data center only represents spending on GPUs and networking), and instead would continue to grow considerably for years to come.On the other hand, and perhaps this is the answer to the previous question, while inference (using the trained model) is generally considered to be the main AI application in the long-term, it nevertheless has somewhat different compute requirements, as the computation cost of a single inference is generally much lower. Instead of training a model for months, in inference one requires results in seconds or milliseconds.This in turn means that it could be more suitable for other chips than GPUs, such as CPUs with on-chip accelerators. Intel has such hardware with its latest Xeon and Core Ultra server and client/edge CPUs. Indeed, inference in some/many cases/applications could simply happen on-device instead of on an expensive Nvidia GPU in the cloud.Financial DiscussionAs a reminder, the Nvidia rally started due to the guidance for $11B revenue in the (calendar) Q2 2023 quarter, up from around $7B. Since then, the revenue has surged to over $18B in the most recently reported quarter, with guidance for $20B in Q4, implying a tripling in revenue in just a few quarters. Given its extremely high margins, EPS has similarly surged from ~$1 to ~$4 (which has allowed the stock to quadruple without changing the valuation multiple).The fact that basically all this (additional) revenue and profit is generated in/from the data center also shows both the data center revenue TAM expansion as well as the increase in revenue market share, as just a few years ago basically the vast majority of the data center silicon logic market was captured by Intel.The forward estimate is for over $90B in revenue in 2024. While this is very large in dollar terms, unlike anything even Intel reported when it still had a CPU monopoly (Intel's highest was on the order of $30B data center revenue, which included its telco networking business), in terms of units this would correspond to roughly 2 million H100/H200s at a price of $40k per unit. This is an ASP (average selling price) that is on the order of 40x larger than either AMD or Intel. This means Intel will actually still sell a lot more silicon into the data center (millions of Xeons each quarter), just at a much lower price.While bulls may see this disparity in ASP between both as Nvidia's crowning achievement, for more sceptical investors this should present one large red flag. As a monopolist, Nvidia enjoys an absolute pricing power, which has resulted in prices very far from having any relation to the actual cost of goods sold of the hardware. As mentioned, Nvidia could likely drop its prices by 10x and still end up with margins in line or above the industry. Clearly, selling 2 million H100/H200s at $4k per unit would provide a very different financial picture. Although, as also discussed there could be some price elasticity considerations in that case, as Nvidia would then probably sell a lot more of those $4k chips.ValuationThe valuation is a $1.35T market cap. Based on Q4 guidance of $20B revenue and analyst expectation of $4.5 EPS, this represents a valuation of 17x P/S and 30x P/E. This is not excessively expensive given the supposed further growth through 2024, catching up from the shortages. While 17x P/S normally should be considered expensive, the fact that EPS is only a 30x multiple again shows its extremely high margins.In the picture of the overall thesis, the main point here hasn't been that the stock is overvalued, it is rather the risk that Nvidia is currently capitalizing as basically the only scaled supplier of chips powering the LLM/AI explosion.

This is similar to what has been discussed in the All-In podcast.In essence, the question is how to bring Nvidia's monopolistic position into the valuation, with some of the scenarios ranging from maintaining market share and pricing power (which given the billions of dollars Nvidia's current customers could potentially save by switching suppliers seems very unlikely), to seeing a dramatic decline in both, so something in between.RisksBesides the risks (for both bull and bear cases) already discussed, given that Nvidia has been in supply constraint, at least some of the future growth is already pretty much locked in.

While this might be the case to approximation, factors such as inertia could still prevent quick market share swings.Why Would Chips Be Commodities?In extension of the previous risk section, a major part of this thesis hinges on the statement that AI chips should to at least some extent be considered commodities, where healthy competition between multiple vendors is possible, which obviously has major implications on the possible margins that can be obtained in this market.This might be a bit of a more controversial statement, since after all chip design often takes many years and millions up to hundreds of millions of dollars.

So while the details may be a bit more complicated, there really isn't much room for differentiation since the goal is simply to obtain as many TOPS (Tera-OPS) as possible. As discussed, both AMD and Intel by now have launched very similarly performing chips.Also note that this idea of a small core (\"cell\") is quite similar to the main commodity market in semiconductors, which is memory and storage. In memory, a small memory cell is indeed also repeated a gazillion times. While, again, the details may be a bit more complicated (for example, in NAND there are things like controllers), there really isn't much level for differentiation, at least not beyond the process technology level.Overall, with reported price tags ranging from $20-40k per chip, even if this includes things like HBM and a PCB, in the CPU space not too long ago $4-8k (about a 5-10x lower price) already would have been considered very expensive even for the most high-end chips. Again, there is no fundamental technology in an AI chip that warrants such an excessive premium (compared to already premium-priced CPUs). In fact, as just argued CPUs are actually more advanced than GPUs/NPUs (since a single CPU core is orders larger than one GPU/NPU core).Investor TakeawayBe fearful when others are greedy. Various anecdotal reports keep surfacing from people considering Nvidia to be cheaper than it was before its rally, and hence, keep buying Nvidia at the current price. However, with a $1.35T market cap, Nvidia is far from cheap in absolute terms.The main warning is that using forward estimates as gospel entails serious risks, and as discussed regarding Nvidia and the LLM hype, these risks are very legitimate. Note that risk could simply mean an unknown, and indeed, even before any other considerations, there are many unknowns regarding the evolution of AI hardware demand. While, granted, in the bull case the potential demand for AI computation/hardware is virtually limitless, there are nevertheless various economic constraints and realities. With revenue already in the tens of billions of dollars, this is charting into the unknown of what has ever been seen before in the data center market, never mind any further upside.Nevertheless, that is exactly what is required to capture investor-grade returns going forward. So as discussed, with legitimate competition from both Intel and AMD seriously ramping up, and no moat (having debunked the CUDA myth) that would fundamentally prevent competitors from taking market share, nor any real possible differentiation that would in principle prevent prices from going to the bottom, Nvidia's margins at the end of the day are simply too high for this not to be a real and large concern. There is simply nothing at all in Nvidia's chips that warrants the excessive prices/margins that it asks its customers. The only logical expectation is for natural competitive market dynamics to kick in, to Nvidia's shareholders' large detriment, with the first signs of this indeed becoming visible from AMD and Intel.Investors who feel lucky (as Pat Gelsinger has argued) might buy Nvidia based on the case of ever-growing demand and miraculously maintaining market share and pricing power. But any rational and risk-aware investor should probably avoid the stock based on too many unknowns, uncertainties, and risks of a stock with a very elevated valuation.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":204,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":263705467031712,"gmtCreate":1705385067612,"gmtModify":1705385072488,"author":{"id":"3559859558754319","authorId":"3559859558754319","name":"Bodoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349218ea2852130ca86ce660b4aa2d59","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559859558754319","authorIdStr":"3559859558754319"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"re-stocking demand \"may\" pick up... the keyword is \"may\".

There was consternation that this might happen after last week’s Consumer Price Index report for December, which was modestly hotter than expectations. Fears dissipated the next day when the Producer Price Index decreased 0.1% for the third month in a row, while the core rate was unchanged. The core rate is up just 1.8% over the past year, which is back to the level we last saw at the end of 2020. This is why the 2-year Treasury yield, which is viewed as a proxy for where the Fed’s benchmark rate will stand approximately one year from now, fell to 4.14%. The bond market is reaffirming the consensus view that the Fed will ease policy as soon as March and lower the Fed funds rates by at least 100 basis points this year.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e920dd12c6a3726eafc2910d8bd78663\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"/></p><p>Bloomberg</p><p>The bond market gave us the same insight when the Fed’s target rate was still near zero by lifting the 2-year yield nine months in advance of the Fed’s first rate hike in March 2022.

If the Fed starts to reduce short-term rates in March and continues at every meeting thereafter, it will be approaching a neutral rate of 3.00-3.5% by the time the rate of inflation is approaching its target of 2%. If it waits until June, I think it will be repeating its previous error.

There was consternation that this might happen after last week’s Consumer Price Index report for December, which was modestly hotter than expectations. Fears dissipated the next day when the Producer Price Index decreased 0.1% for the third month in a row, while the core rate was unchanged. The core rate is up just 1.8% over the past year, which is back to the level we last saw at the end of 2020. This is why the 2-year Treasury yield, which is viewed as a proxy for where the Fed’s benchmark rate will stand approximately one year from now, fell to 4.14%. The bond market is reaffirming the consensus view that the Fed will ease policy as soon as March and lower the Fed funds rates by at least 100 basis points this year.BloombergThe bond market gave us the same insight when the Fed’s target rate was still near zero by lifting the 2-year yield nine months in advance of the Fed’s first rate hike in March 2022. The 2-year yield was already up to 1.6% when that rate hike came, and it approached 5% as early as November 2022.StockchartsIt is doing the same thing in reverse by falling from its peak of 5.19% to the recent low of 4.14% well in advance of the Fed’s first rate cut. Note that the Fed received tremendous criticism for waiting too long to start raising rates, as policy changes take months to filter through the economy. Chairman Powell knows this, and he does not want to make the same mistake on the way down.ForbesThe rate of inflation was near its peak of 9% once the Fed started to raise rates from the zero-bound. If it had started a year earlier, I seriously doubt we would have seen 9%. Yet now we have fallen to 3-4% and the policy is still at its most restrictive. If the Fed starts to reduce short-term rates in March and continues at every meeting thereafter, it will be approaching a neutral rate of 3.00-3.5% by the time the rate of inflation is approaching its target of 2%. If it waits until June, I think it will be repeating its previous error. I think Chairman Powell will move in March, as the market is predicting, which should solidify the soft landing in 2024.Edward JonesI expect this period of consolidation, which may culminate in pullback of 3-5% in the S&P 500 from its 52-week high, to ensue during earnings season, as investors debate earnings growth, the timing of the first rate cut, and the sustainability of the expansion. I view any pullback as an opportunity to add risk to portfolios, as I did in February and October of last year. If the Fed decides to delay cutting rates in March, I will have to reassess my outlook.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":340,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":262296952156296,"gmtCreate":1705071536847,"gmtModify":1705074614685,"author":{"id":"3559859558754319","authorId":"3559859558754319","name":"Bodoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349218ea2852130ca86ce660b4aa2d59","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559859558754319","authorIdStr":"3559859558754319"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/TSLA\">$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$&nbsp;</a><v-v data-views=\"0\"></v-v> increasing salaries.

In today's piece, I will cover these three stocks and look into why I believe their valuations are intriguing.3 Undervalued Stocks I am BuyingStock #1 - PayPal Holdings PayPal Holdings is a Fintech company that was a darling during the pandemic as the stock rose to an all-time high of closing price of $308.53. The stock is far from those prices today as the stock has fallen 80% from those levels down to its $62 price today.The company currently trades at a market cap of $67 billion. Over the past 12 months the stock is down 10%, but in the past month, the stock has risen more than 10%.Seeking AlphaPayPal was actually founded by a group of individuals, one of those being Elon Musk. After that, PayPal gained popularity when it was purchased by eBay in 2002 and then eventually spun off. The company now is one of the most trusted online payment platforms available to consumers and businesses alike. In addition, the company owns the likes of Venmo, which they are still working to monetize.PayPal was an early online payment processing adopter, but there has been a slew of new competitors hitting the market, one of the biggest being the likes of Apple Pay from Apple (AAPL).Looking at this chart below, you can see that the company has continued to increase revenues, even in the face of rising competition over the years. Analysts believe that trend will continue moving forward.Seeking AlphaEarnings are expected to follow a similar trend with analysts expecting EPS growth of 11% in 2024 and 13% in 2025.Fast GraphsExpected 2024 EPS of $5.53 per share gives shares of PYPL an earnings multiple of just 11.2x, which equates to a PEG ratio of 1.0. These both suggest the stock is undervalued, which is a reason I rate shares of PayPal a BUY.Analysts are also bullish on the stock, rating the stock a BUY with a 12-month price target of $74 per share, implying ~23% upside from current levels.Seeking AlphaStock #2 - Alphabet Inc. Another stock I get a lot of questions about and one I believe is undervalued is Alphabet Inc. The company is part of the \"Magnificent 7\" but they are one of the rare value plays within that group.It is hard to think GOOGL is a \"value play\" when it has a market cap of $1.7 trillion, and has seen their stock rise over 55% the past 12 months, but I believe there to be much further to go for this company.Seeking AlphaAlphabet had a rough time at the start of the year with concerns around a slowdown in digital advertising, which is obviously a huge piece of the business given that they dominate search with both Google Search and YouTube, two of the largest search engines. Search is not the only piece of the business, as they are diversified, and one of those areas they have another big footprint in is within the Cloud segment. Now we have the company looking to be one of the leaders within Artificial intelligence.The company is operating at an efficient manner while also growing at the same time. The company's most recent quarter showed top line revenue growth of 11% to go along with operating margins of 28%, 300 bps higher than a year ago.Moving forward, revenues are not expected to slow, as analysts see double-digit revenue growth each of the next three years.Seeking AlphaIn terms of EPS, analysts are looking for 16% EPS growth each of the next two years. There are estimates that go further out, but as you know, anything can happen, so I do not like to rely on far out estimates. Using the 2024 EPS estimate of $6.69, shares of GOOGL trade at a forward P/E ratio of 20.9x, which is below their 10-year average of 25x.Fast GraphsI rate shares of GOOGL a BUY.Analysts also see some upside with the stock as they have a 12-month Price Target of $155, implying nearly 10% upside from current levels.Seeking AlphaStock #3 - NextEra Energy NextEra Energy is a utility company, with a regulated portion of the business and its resources segment of the business. The regulated utility piece of the business is reported as \"America's largest utility company,\" so in terms of size, it is large.NextEra is a way to play the growth in renewable resources. The company has a market cap of $122 billion and over the past 12 months, the stock is down nearly 30%.Seeking AlphaThis should not come as a surprise as the utility sector has been the worst performing sector in 2023, largely due to higher interest rates and utilities being a bit more of an income play.NextEra is a dividend stock with a current yield of 3.1%, so as you can see, there is a lot of competition in a high rate environment when just looking at the income. However, there is a lot more opportunity that comes along with equities, one being dividend growth and NEE shareholders have seen the company increase the dividend for nearly 30 consecutive years and have a 5-year dividend growth rate of 11%.Seeking AlphaIn addition to dividend growth, the stock also offers some growth potential. The stock is trading at a great valuation, making the risk reward opportunity look quite intriguing. Analysts are looking for NEE to generate EPS of $3.40 next year, which equates to a multiple of 17.5x, well below their five-year historical average of 30x.Fast GraphsI rate shares of NEE a BUY based on a growing income and a cheap valuation.Analysts tend to agree, as they rate the stock a BUY with a 12-month price target of roughly $70, implying 17% upside from current levels.Seeking AlphaInvestor TakeawayAll three of these stocks appear to present opportunity moving forward. They all have growth trajectories moving forward and investors are getting the opportunity to add shares at a reasonable valuation.PayPal could struggle if we see a weakening consumer going into 2024, but long term, the company has a lot of opportunity.Alphabet is a powerhouse with plenty of growth packed in between search, cloud, AI, and other segments of the business as well.NextEra is a way to play the move to more renewable resources as the US looks to be a leader in this area.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":440,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":257129414627400,"gmtCreate":1703809631395,"gmtModify":1703809635922,"author":{"id":"3559859558754319","authorId":"3559859558754319","name":"Bodoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349218ea2852130ca86ce660b4aa2d59","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559859558754319","authorIdStr":"3559859558754319"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"There is no guarantee in everything In life, except change, and taxes.&nbsp;So if this article is correct we should all short NIO.&nbsp;","listText":"There is no guarantee in everything In life, except change, and taxes.&nbsp;So if this article is correct we should all short NIO.&nbsp;","text":"There is no guarantee in everything In life, except change, and taxes.

At the same time, there are reasons to believe that NIO will continue to underperform and burn cash since there&#39;s no indication that the business would be able to thrive in the current competitive environment in the EV industry.</p><h2 id=\"id_71035686\">Major Challenges Ahead</h2><p>Earlier this month, NIO reported its Q3 earnings results, which showed that its revenues increased by 46.6% Y/Y to $2.61 billion, but were below the estimates by $50 million. At the same time, while the company expects to deliver between 47,000 to 49,000 vehicles in Q4, which would result in ~150,000 deliveries in FY23, it won&#39;t meet the initial target of delivering 250,000 vehicles that was announced earlier this year.</p><p>Another major issue that needs to be mentioned is that NIO is likely going to remain unprofitable in the following years due to the ongoing price war within the EV industry that has been suppressing the margins. In Q3, NIO&#39;s vehicle margin was 11%, up Q/Q, but down from 16.4% a year ago.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0c571a58d0469e6c4aa712d82015553e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"265\"/></p><p>NIO&#39;s Vehicle Margin (Seeking Alpha)</p><p></p><p>The decline in margins has already resulted in an unsustainable cash burn rate for NIO. The company continues to burn over half a billion dollars each quarter and the only reason why it managed to avoid a liquidity crisis is due to the pricing of a secondary offering below the market prices at the expense of existing shareholders. The rise in cash reserves in Q3 has come not from operations but from the additional injection of liquidity thanks to the secondary offering, which I&#39;ve mentioned in my latest article on the company.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/90b56d43a282ce08d90d899a8f160197\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"203\"/></p><p>NIO&#39;s Cash Reserves (Seeking Alpha)</p><p></p><p>What&#39;s more is that yesterday, NIO closed a $2.2 billion strategic equity investment from the Abu Dhabi-based fund CYVN Holdings. Under the deal, NIO has issued close to 300,000 new ordinary shares at the price of $7.50 per share, which is below the current market price, to CYVN which now has a ~20% stake in the company.</p><p>While the additional liquidity would certainly extend NIO&#39;s lifeline and give its management more time to figure out how to become profitable, the injection of liquidity also comes at a major cost to ordinary shareholders. NIO&#39;s share count has been gradually increasing each quarter as a result of such secondary offerings and at the end of Q3, its share count stood at 1.74 billion, up by ~5% Q/Q. Such deals below the market prices are diluting ordinary shareholders and making their investments in the company less attractive due to the rising share count.</p><p>Another thing that needs to be mentioned is that there&#39;s no guarantee that the injection of additional funds will help the company become profitable or even greatly improve vehicle margins anytime soon. After all, despite pricing secondary offerings and diluting its existing shareholders in the past, NIO failed to drastically improve its operations and avoid raising new funds. What&#39;s more is that despite delivering ~122,000 vehicles in 2022, its market share in China accounted for less than 1%. With ~150,000 deliveries expected this year, it&#39;s hard to see how NIO would be able to drastically improve its performance and mitigate the downside caused by the ongoing price war within the EV industry.</p><p>Considering all of this, it would be safe to say that NIO&#39;s upside is currently limited. Most of its margins are negative, it has received dozens of downside revisions in recent months, and its shares trade at over 2 times the company&#39;s sales with no signs of profitability in sight. With such data, it&#39;s almost impossible to make a proper valuation model to figure out what is the company&#39;s fair value in the current environment. Even though the street expects NIO to become profitable somewhere in 2026, there&#39;s no guarantee that that&#39;s going to be the case, especially if the price war within the EV industry won&#39;t be over by that time. What&#39;s more is that at the current cash burn rate, it&#39;s most likely that the company would be required to raise more cash and dilute its shareholders even more, despite the fact that it recently received additional liquidity.</p><h2 id=\"id_2546246271\">Geopolitical Risks To Consider</h2><p>What&#39;s also important to understand is that NIO has been actively looking for ways to expand its presence in other markets in order to mitigate the downside caused by the price war and the weaker growth of the Chinese economy. However, unlike Tesla (TSLA), NIO expands at a time when globalization slowly unraveling, and it becomes much harder to get access to other markets. While NIO still targets a launch in the United States in the future, the worsening of Sino-American relations and the implementation of protectionism policies are likely to prevent it from successfully expanding its presence in the American continent anytime soon.</p><p>What&#39;s more, is that it seems that NIO will also be unable to quickly expand its presence in Europe as well. The company is currently selling less than 1000 vehicles per quarter in Europe and the potential trade war between China and the European Union could undermine any growth efforts of NIO in the old continent.</p><h2 id=\"id_2016679895\">Is There Any Upside Left?</h2><p>There&#39;s one thing that could undermine my bearish thesis, and that&#39;s the aggressive ramp-up of deliveries that could expand NIO&#39;s market share within the Chinese EV industry. By shifting to the OEM model, NIO could exceed the vehicle delivery expectations for next year and make shareholders invest in the company&#39;s growth story, which could keep the momentum going for longer and push the shares higher in the near term.</p><p>While the potential ramp-up of deliveries is unlikely to improve the company&#39;s bottom-line performance due to the suppression of margins caused by external factors, it could nevertheless improve the overall sentiment and make the fundamentals less relevant for a while. Other than that, it&#39;s hard to see any positives of investing in NIO for the long run until the cash burn issue is fixed.</p><h2 id=\"id_3075326640\">The Bottom Line</h2><p>While NIO&#39;s shares gained momentum due to finding a technical support level and having a successful car event, they likely won&#39;t be able to significantly appreciate in the long run due to the constant dilution and an unsustainable cash burn rate. Even though it&#39;s a good thing that the company won&#39;t face a liquidity crunch anytime soon thanks to the recent injection of liquidity, it&#39;s still hard to see how NIO would be able to drastically improve its bottom-line performance given the suppression of margins and a lack of major growth catalysts.</p><p>Editor&#39;s Note: This article discusses one or more securities that do not trade on a major U.S. exchange.

At the same time, there are reasons to believe that NIO will continue to underperform and burn cash since there's no indication that the business would be able to thrive in the current competitive environment in the EV industry.Major Challenges AheadEarlier this month, NIO reported its Q3 earnings results, which showed that its revenues increased by 46.6% Y/Y to $2.61 billion, but were below the estimates by $50 million. At the same time, while the company expects to deliver between 47,000 to 49,000 vehicles in Q4, which would result in ~150,000 deliveries in FY23, it won't meet the initial target of delivering 250,000 vehicles that was announced earlier this year.Another major issue that needs to be mentioned is that NIO is likely going to remain unprofitable in the following years due to the ongoing price war within the EV industry that has been suppressing the margins. In Q3, NIO's vehicle margin was 11%, up Q/Q, but down from 16.4% a year ago.NIO's Vehicle Margin (Seeking Alpha)The decline in margins has already resulted in an unsustainable cash burn rate for NIO. The company continues to burn over half a billion dollars each quarter and the only reason why it managed to avoid a liquidity crisis is due to the pricing of a secondary offering below the market prices at the expense of existing shareholders. The rise in cash reserves in Q3 has come not from operations but from the additional injection of liquidity thanks to the secondary offering, which I've mentioned in my latest article on the company.NIO's Cash Reserves (Seeking Alpha)What's more is that yesterday, NIO closed a $2.2 billion strategic equity investment from the Abu Dhabi-based fund CYVN Holdings. Under the deal, NIO has issued close to 300,000 new ordinary shares at the price of $7.50 per share, which is below the current market price, to CYVN which now has a ~20% stake in the company.While the additional liquidity would certainly extend NIO's lifeline and give its management more time to figure out how to become profitable, the injection of liquidity also comes at a major cost to ordinary shareholders. NIO's share count has been gradually increasing each quarter as a result of such secondary offerings and at the end of Q3, its share count stood at 1.74 billion, up by ~5% Q/Q. Such deals below the market prices are diluting ordinary shareholders and making their investments in the company less attractive due to the rising share count.Another thing that needs to be mentioned is that there's no guarantee that the injection of additional funds will help the company become profitable or even greatly improve vehicle margins anytime soon. After all, despite pricing secondary offerings and diluting its existing shareholders in the past, NIO failed to drastically improve its operations and avoid raising new funds. What's more is that despite delivering ~122,000 vehicles in 2022, its market share in China accounted for less than 1%.

Most of its margins are negative, it has received dozens of downside revisions in recent months, and its shares trade at over 2 times the company's sales with no signs of profitability in sight.

Of course they have. Total assets held in money-market funds, at about $6.1 trillion, is near a record, according to the St. Louis Fed. That&#39;s about 29% higher than its level just before Covid, as people rushed into cash for the attractive rates.</p><p>And even the pros are holding more cash than is typical. The average portfolio manager in a Bank of America survey covering trillions of dollars of assets under management holds about 4.5% in cash, down from a multidecade peak of just over 6% hit last year but still more than the lows of just over 3%. Fund managers still have plenty of cash to put to work.</p><p>Nor is equity exposure all that high. The net percentage of respondents in BofA&#39;s survey who say they are overweight equities is at about 15%, up in the past few months but below the long-term average -- and well below historical peaks of just over 60%.</p><p>History suggests that there is still a lot of buying yet to be done, buying that could support the market in the months ahead. Usually, as the Fed starts cutting rates and the economy is still growing, managers add equity exposure, as seen in 2003 and 2019.

What Went Wrong?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1178433847","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Switzerland’s role as banker to the world’s rich is built on a reputation for institutional discreti","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Switzerland’s role as banker to the world’s rich is built on a reputation for institutional discretion and dull reliability. That only makes the scandals, public legal battles and mounting losses at Credit Suisse Group AG more striking and hard to comprehend. In mid-March, unease about the bank’s mounting problems snowballed and its shares slumped, forcing management to appeal to Swiss banking authorities for a public vote of confidence.</p><h3>1. What went wrong?</h3><p>Credit Suisse’s failings have included a criminal conviction for allowing drug dealers to launder money in Bulgaria, entanglement in a Mozambique corruption case, a spying scandal involving a former employee and an executive and a massive leak of client data to the media. Its association with disgraced financier Lex Greensill and failed New York-based investment firm Archegos Capital Management compounded the sense of an institution that didn’t have a firm grip on its affairs. Many fed up clients have voted with their feet, leading to unprecedented client outflows in late 2022.</p><h3><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/737c0d8e279f497c6082a3207a7417a8\" tg-width=\"718\" tg-height=\"426\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>2. What triggered the latest share slump?</h3><p>Chief Executive Officer Ulrich Koerner launched a massive outreach to woo back nervous clients and their cash. The effort appeared to be paying off by January, with it reported “net positive” deposits. However, on March 9, the US Securities and Exchange Commission queried the bank’s annual report, forcing it to delay its publication. Panic spread after regional US lender Silicon Valley Bank failed, the victim in part of risky investments and rising global interest rates that eroded the value of its bond holdings. Investors began ditching anything that smelled of banking risk and deposit flight.</p><h3>3. How bad did the situation get?</h3><p>On March 15, Credit Suisse stock slumped anew when the chairman of its largest shareholder, Saudi National Bank, ruled out investing any more in the company. This prompted Credit Suisse to ask the Swiss central bank for a public statement of support. The cost of insuring the bank’s bonds against default for one year surged to levels not seen for major international banks since the financial crisis of 2008. As other banks sought to hedge their counterparty risk for transactions with Credit Suisse, quoted prices for a one-year credit default swap jumped from 836 basis points, indicating a probability of defaulting of 10%, on March 14 to higher than 3,000 basis points. Few actual trades were executed, however, as liquidity in the market dried up. In another sign of stress, Credit Suisse’s additional tier 1 bonds — which are subordinate to all other ranks of debt and may be written down if capital falls below a predetermined level — were trading below 80% of face value, a level typically signaling distress. Even bonds coming due in April traded at prices well below face value.</p><h3>4. Is this another Lehman Brothers moment?</h3><p>The Wall Street giant, whose failure in 2008 triggered the global financial crisis, succumbed when funding dried up and other banks stopped dealing with it. Unlike Lehman and SVB, Credit Suisse has substantial liquid assets to call upon and access to central bank lending facilities and is less sensitive than many rivals to sharp moves in interest rates. It has rebuilt its cushion against more deposit withdrawals since the worst wave of outflows in October. It also has enough money-like liquid assets to pay back half of all its liabilities in deposits and loans from other banks, according to Bloomberg Opinion banking columnist Paul J. Davies. Koerner said the firm’s liquidity coverage ratio showed it can handle over a month of heavy outflows in a period of stress.</p><h3>5. What else is Koerner doing to turn things around?</h3><p>His three-year recovery plan involves 9,000 job cuts, dismantling the investment banking behemoth assembled over five decades and returning Credit Suisse to its origins as banker to the world’s ultra-wealthy.

That only makes the scandals, public legal battles and mounting losses at Credit Suisse Group AG more striking and hard to comprehend. In mid-March, unease about the bank’s mounting problems snowballed and its shares slumped, forcing management to appeal to Swiss banking authorities for a public vote of confidence.1. What went wrong?Credit Suisse’s failings have included a criminal conviction for allowing drug dealers to launder money in Bulgaria, entanglement in a Mozambique corruption case, a spying scandal involving a former employee and an executive and a massive leak of client data to the media. Its association with disgraced financier Lex Greensill and failed New York-based investment firm Archegos Capital Management compounded the sense of an institution that didn’t have a firm grip on its affairs. Many fed up clients have voted with their feet, leading to unprecedented client outflows in late 2022.2. What triggered the latest share slump?Chief Executive Officer Ulrich Koerner launched a massive outreach to woo back nervous clients and their cash. The effort appeared to be paying off by January, with it reported “net positive” deposits. However, on March 9, the US Securities and Exchange Commission queried the bank’s annual report, forcing it to delay its publication. Panic spread after regional US lender Silicon Valley Bank failed, the victim in part of risky investments and rising global interest rates that eroded the value of its bond holdings. Investors began ditching anything that smelled of banking risk and deposit flight.3. How bad did the situation get?On March 15, Credit Suisse stock slumped anew when the chairman of its largest shareholder, Saudi National Bank, ruled out investing any more in the company. This prompted Credit Suisse to ask the Swiss central bank for a public statement of support. The cost of insuring the bank’s bonds against default for one year surged to levels not seen for major international banks since the financial crisis of 2008. As other banks sought to hedge their counterparty risk for transactions with Credit Suisse, quoted prices for a one-year credit default swap jumped from 836 basis points, indicating a probability of defaulting of 10%, on March 14 to higher than 3,000 basis points. Few actual trades were executed, however, as liquidity in the market dried up. In another sign of stress, Credit Suisse’s additional tier 1 bonds — which are subordinate to all other ranks of debt and may be written down if capital falls below a predetermined level — were trading below 80% of face value, a level typically signaling distress. Even bonds coming due in April traded at prices well below face value.4. Is this another Lehman Brothers moment?The Wall Street giant, whose failure in 2008 triggered the global financial crisis, succumbed when funding dried up and other banks stopped dealing with it. Unlike Lehman and SVB, Credit Suisse has substantial liquid assets to call upon and access to central bank lending facilities and is less sensitive than many rivals to sharp moves in interest rates. It has rebuilt its cushion against more deposit withdrawals since the worst wave of outflows in October. It also has enough money-like liquid assets to pay back half of all its liabilities in deposits and loans from other banks, according to Bloomberg Opinion banking columnist Paul J. Davies. Koerner said the firm’s liquidity coverage ratio showed it can handle over a month of heavy outflows in a period of stress.5. What else is Koerner doing to turn things around?His three-year recovery plan involves 9,000 job cuts, dismantling the investment banking behemoth assembled over five decades and returning Credit Suisse to its origins as banker to the world’s ultra-wealthy. That means spinning off First Boston, an American investment bank it acquired in 1990 with a view to listing it in 2025, and selling parts of its securitized products unit to Apollo Global Management Inc. That process is now at risk of becoming bogged down in a broader financial-sector selloff following the collapse of SVB and two other US banks.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":49,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9943199482,"gmtCreate":1679234870246,"gmtModify":1679234873749,"author":{"id":"3559859558754319","authorId":"3559859558754319","name":"Bodoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349218ea2852130ca86ce660b4aa2d59","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559859558754319","authorIdStr":"3559859558754319"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"A pause?

Here’s a quick summary:Nigeria may raise rates on Tuesday to contain inflation that’s near an 18-year high, and to encourage investment.In Angola the same day, officials may cut benchmark borrowing costs for a second time this year as the kwanza remains stable, commodity prices are seen moderating, and a downward swing in price growth looks likely to continue.In Morocco that day, the central bank will most likely pause monetary tightening as food prices start to ease.And in Turkey on Thursday, officials are expected to hold rates steady. Any signs of future policy will be key as the country heads toward elections in May, where President Recep Tayyip Erdogan faces the strongest challenge yet to his two decades in power.After the ECB’s meeting on Thursday, which ended with a half-pint hike but no future guidance, more than a dozen of its policy makers will speak in the coming days. President Lagarde is likely to draw the most attention with testimony to the European Parliament on Monday.Further clues on the backdrop for the banking system may be available when her ECB colleague Andrea Enria, the euro region’s top regulator, talks to the same panel of lawmakers the following day.Lagarde is also among officials who’ll take the stage at the ECB and Its Watchers conference in Frankfurt on Wednesday, and several others are scheduled to make appearances elsewhere during the week.Meanwhile, purchasing managers’ indexes in the euro zone and UK will give an indication of the strength of industry as China reopens, and the German Council of Economic Experts will publish an updated growth outlook.Latin AmericaA busy week in Brazil begins with the central bank’s survey of market expectations on inflation, which continue to edge further above target through 2025.Banco Central do Brasil is all but certain to hold its key rate at 13.75% for a fifth straight meeting, though policy makers may strike a dovish tone in the post-decision statement.After minimal disinflation over the past three mid-month consumer price readings, analysts see steeper deceleration for the mid-February print and into the second quarter due to base-effects, before a second-half uptick.Chile’s fourth-quarter output report may show that the Andean country narrowly avoided falling into a technical recession, due in part to untapped household liquidity and the impact of China’s reopening.In Argentina, four straight negative readings on its monthly economic activity indicator point to a quarterly contraction in output heading into a challenging 2023.In Mexico, the weakness seen in retail sales since May likely extended into January, while slumping demand from the US, the country’s biggest export market, can be expected to weigh on January GDP-proxy data.The early consensus has mid-month inflation coming in near a one-year low — though still more than twice the 3% target — while the somewhat more sticky core reading extends a drop from November’s two-decade high of 8.66%, in line with Banxico forecasts.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":201,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":259908098609288,"gmtCreate":1704464475258,"gmtModify":1704464479534,"author":{"id":"3559859558754319","authorId":"3559859558754319","name":"Bodoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349218ea2852130ca86ce660b4aa2d59","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559859558754319","authorIdStr":"3559859558754319"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"\"Gives you green light\"... you mean the recommendation is so powerful?","listText":"\"Gives you green light\"... you mean the recommendation is so powerful?","text":"\"Gives you green light\"... you mean the recommendation is so powerful?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/259908098609288","repostId":"2400920362","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2400920362","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1704463200,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2400920362?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-01-05 22:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla’s Triumphs and Trials: TSLA Stock Outlook for 2024","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2400920362","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"The EV market leader could yet again disprove its skeptics in 2024, but that doesn't necessarily mean you should rush into TSLA stock.","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul style=\"\"><li><p> <strong>Tesla</strong> (<strong>TSLA</strong>) is dealing with many challenges, but it’s very possible that the EV market leader once again disproves its skeptics.</p></li></ul><ul style=\"\"><li><p>However, don’t assume this gives you the green light to dive into TSLA stock at current prices.</p></li><li><p>Shares may be volatile in the near-term, offering a better entry point for long-term bulls.</p></li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d56db6858414010314163a5a690eec3b\" alt=\"Source: Arina P Habich / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: Arina P Habich / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"432\"/><span>Source: Arina P Habich / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p><strong>Tesla</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong>TSLA</strong>) stock ended 2023 on a high note.

are a great asset class for income-seeking investors.The requirement to pay out at least 90% of their earnings as distributions makes them perfect for investors who look for a steady, dependable payout.The recent surge in interest rates led to an overall rise in distribution yields for the REIT sector.Investors are justifiably worried about whether REITs can manage higher expenses arising from inflation along with elevated finance costs.We highlight four REITs with distribution yields of 7% and above to determine if they could be good bargains and be included in your REIT buy watchlist.Cromwell European REIT (SGX: CWBU)Cromwell European REIT, or CEREIT, invests in commercial real estate in Europe that also includes light industrial and/or logistics assets.Its portfolio comprises 110+ predominantly freehold properties in countries such as Italy, France, Finland, and Denmark and is worth around €2.4 billion.CEREIT reported a mixed set of results for 2023’s first half (1H 2023).Gross revenue inched up 0.9% year on year to €108.3 million while net property income (NPI) rose 1.8% year on year to €68.5 million.Distribution per unit (DPU), though, dipped by 10.4% year on year to €0.0779 because of higher interest costs.The REIT’s trailing 12-month DPU stood at €0.16284, giving its units a trailing distribution yield of 12.8%.CEREIT continued to enjoy a high occupancy rate of 95.4% as of 30 June 2023 and reported a positive rental reversion of 5.9%.The commercial REIT’s portfolio is also well-diversified with 842 tenants with the number one tenant taking up just 8.5% of total rent.CEREIT’s gearing stood at 38.2% along with an all-in interest rate of 2.85%, opening the REIT to undertaking debt-funded acquisitions.iREIT Global (SGX: UD1U)iREIT Global invests in a portfolio of office, retail and industrial assets in Europe.Its portfolio comprises five office properties each in Germany and Spain, and 27 freehold retail properties in France.For 1H 2023, gross revenue fell by 5.5% year on year to €28.4 million with NPI decreasing by 10.1% year on year to €22 million.iREIT Global is retaining an amount for working capital purposes, causing DPU (after accounting for the recent preferential offering) to fall by 23.8% year on year to €0.0093.Coupled with 2H 2022’s DPU of €0.0128, the trailing 12-month DPU adds up to €0.0221 or around S$0.032.iREIT Global’s units provide a trailing distribution yield of around 8%.The REIT enjoyed a low gearing ratio of just 33.1% along with an 88.7% portfolio occupancy.It also enjoyed a low borrowing cost of just 1.9% with 96.2% of its loans hedged to fixed rates, with no refinancing needs until 2026.Sasseur REIT (SGX: CRPU)Sasseur REIT is a retail outlet mall REIT with four mall assets located in Chongqing, Kunming, and Hefei in China.Sasseur reported a respectable set of financial numbers for 1H 2023.Total rental income rose 8% year on year to RMB 326 million but distributable income dipped by 2.4% year on year to RMB 43.9 million.DPU for 1H 2023 slid by 2.6% year on year to S$0.03322.Together with 2H 2022’s DPU of S$0.0314, Sasseur REIT’s trailing 12-month DPU came up to

million.However, the REIT retained around US$1.5 million as a capital reserve for asset enhancement initiatives, causing DPU to fall by 8.9% year on year to US$0.0265.Together with UHREIT’s 2H 2022

rates.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":89,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3550529948801840","authorId":"3550529948801840","name":"JKZP","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9d8e2b18a0889327e7c8463f9d83a512","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3550529948801840","authorIdStr":"3550529948801840"},"content":"yes

Friday&#39;s superhot jobs report failed to derail the uptrend. Big earnings or guidance continued to be mixed, but <b>Meta Platforms</b> (META) skyrocketed on cost cuts, revenue guidance and a big buyback. <b>AMD</b> (AMD) also was a big winner, while <b>Apple</b> (AAPL) rallied despite missing views. Google parent <b>Alphabet</b> (GOOGL) and <b>Amazon.com</b> (AMZN) had solidly weekly gains. <b>General Motors</b> (GM) soared on strong earnings, though <b>Ford</b> (F) tumbled on its results. Oil stocks skidded as energy prices retreated.</p><h2>Market Rally Decisively Clears Key Resistance</h2><p>The market rally continued rising, as investors hailed Fed chief Jerome Powell&#39;s comments and often-mixed earnings, taking a strong jobs report in stride. The Nasdaq and small-cap Russell 2000 moved decisively above their late 2022 highs. The S&amp;P 500 also cleared its recent peaks, while the Dow Jones faced some struggles. Crude oil futures retreated significantly, while natural gas continued to tumble. Treasury yields tumbled to their lowest levels in several months.</p><h2>Fed Tame As Jobs Roar</h2><p>The Federal Reserve hiked its key rate a quarter-point and signaled at least two more hikes still to come. With Wall Street betting that the Fed will pause after just one more hike in March, that guidance could have been a downer. But Fed Chair Jerome Powell seemed to fire up animal spirits by hailing disinflationary trends, while sounding upbeat about a soft landing for the U.S. economy and expressing no qualms about easing financial conditions. However, the January jobs report out on Friday showed hiring surged in January with unemployment falling to the lowest level since 1969. However, wage gains slowed to 4.4%, lowest since August 2021. Still, hiring strength and a new rock-bottom for unemployment have shifted odds slightly in favor of two more rate hikes. Meanwhile, the ISM U.S. manufacturing index was weak, but the ISM&#39;s service-sector gauge showed a big jump.</p><h2>Meta Platforms Surges On 2023 Outlook</h2><p><b>Meta Platforms</b> (META) reported a 52% EPS decline, in line with views, while revenue fell 4%, slightly topping. Shares surged as the Facebook parent vowed to make 2023 a &#34;year of efficiency&#34; following massive spending on the metaverse in 2022. Meta guided up on Q1 revenue and slashed capital spending and other planned expenses for the year. It also announced a $40 billion buyback.</p><h2>Apple Misses Holiday-Quarter Targets</h2><p>Consumer electronics giant <b>Apple</b> (AAPL) missed its December-quarter sales and earnings targets amid supply constraints and foreign exchange headwinds. Fiscal Q1 EPS fell 10% as sales sank 5% to $117.2 billion. Apple&#39;s iPhone revenue sank 8% to $65.8 billion after it couldn&#39;t make enough iPhone 14 Pro models to meet demand. Apple&#39;s Mac computer sales tumbled 29% to $7.7 billion. And revenue from Apple&#39;s wearables, home and accessories unit declined 8% to $13.5 billion. However, iPad sales rose 30% to $9.4 billion in the holiday quarter. And services revenue increased 6% to $20.8 billion.</p><h2>Amazon EPS Dives, Outlook Weak</h2><p>Q4 EPS crashed 98%, well below views. Revenue rose nearly 9% to $149.2 billion, topping views, but slowing from Q3&#39;s 15%. Amazon Web Services revenue popped 20%, slowing from Q3&#39;s 27.5% and slightly below views. <b>Amazon</b> (AMZN) guided Q1 revenue forecasts lower, with high-margin AWS expected to show further deceleration in growth. Shares fell Friday but rose solidly for the week.</p><h2>Google Misses As Ad Revenue Falls</h2><p>Google-parent <b>Alphabet</b> (GOOGL) reported Q4 earnings and revenue that missed Wall Street targets amid slowing growth in internet search advertising, YouTube ads and cloud-computing services. Q4 earnings tumbled 31%. Gross revenue rose 1% to $76.05 billion. Advertising revenue fell 3% to $59.04 billion, missing estimates. In addition, ad revenue at Google&#39;s YouTube fell more than 7% to $7.96 billion. Google said cloud-computing revenue rose 32% to $7.32 billion, missing estimates of $7.44 billion. In Q3, cloud revenue rose 38%.</p><h2>Chipmakers Offer Weak Outlook</h2><p>Semiconductor manufacturers mostly guided Wall Street lower for the current period as they delivered earnings reports in the past week. Chipmakers offering a weak outlook included those exposed to personal computers and smartphones, such as <b>Advanced Micro Devices</b> (AMD), <b>Qorvo</b> (QRVO) and <b>Qualcomm</b> (QCOM). Bucking the trend with beat-and-raise earnings reports were <b>Allegro MicroSystems</b> (ALGM), <b>Microchip Technology</b> (MCHP) and <b>Silicon Labs</b> (SLAB). They have greater exposure to automotive, industrial and Internet-of-Things markets.</p><h2>Oil Majors&#39; Results Mixed</h2><p><b>Exxon Mobil</b> (XOM) reported a 66% EPS gain, though the 12% revenue rise missed. Amid surging cash, Exxon plans on returning up to $35 billion to shareholders through dividends and buybacks in 2023. <b>Shell</b> (SHEL) EPS swelled 67% due to strong LNG and gas trading and refining margins, while revenue increased 19% to $101.3 billion. <b>ConocoPhillips</b> (COP) missed earnings and revenue views, though EPS was up 19% and sales 21%. It plans to return $11 billion to shareholders in 2023. Oil stocks generally fell amid skidding oil and gas prices.</p><h2>GM Crushes Views, Ford Leaves $2 Billion &#39;On The Table&#39;</h2><p><b>General Motors</b> (GM) crushed earnings and revenue estimates for the fourth quarter, while guiding for another solid year in 2023. Year over year, EPS grew 57%, accelerating from a 48% gain the prior quarter. Revenue rose 28%, but margins fell. Demand and pricing for GM vehicles &#34;remain strong,&#34; CFO Paul Jacobson said, amid recession fears. The auto giant also announced a hefty investment in <b>Lithium Americas</b> (LAC), as it ramps up on electric vehicles and lithium-based EV batteries. <b>Ford</b> (F) went the opposite way, missing Q4 earnings estimates and losing $2 billion for the full year due to poor execution, while giving a downbeat outlook for 2023. GM jumped, flashing a buy signal. Ford tumbled on results, slashing weekly gains.</p><p>Meanwhile, new U.S. vehicle sales were stronger than expected in January as supply disruptions continue to ease.</p><p>More crossover SUVs will be eligible for tax credits at prices up to $80,000, the U.S. government announced Friday in a reversal. That should benefit <b>Tesla</b> (TSLA) and Ford in particular.</p><h2>Homebuilders Rally On Earnings</h2><p><b>Pulte Group</b> (PHM), <b>NVR</b> (NVR) and <b>Meritage</b> (MTH) topped EPS and revenue views, with solid growth, though orders point to weaker results ahead. <b>M.D.C. Holdings</b> (MDC) missed on revenue. But all four homebuilders rallied solidly for the week, along with other builders and many other housing-related stocks. One outlier: <b>Beazer Homes</b> (BZH) reported mixed results and tumbled Friday.</p><h2>Drug Earnings Mixed</h2><p>Pfizer beat adjusted earnings expectations at $1.14 per share, up 45%, but sales rose just 2% and the drug giant projected massive declines for its Covid products this year. <b>Merck</b> (MRK), <b>Eli Lilly</b> (LLY) and <b>Bristol Myers Squibb</b> (BMY) all beat quarterly expectations. But Lilly shares fell on lighter-than-expected sales for its newest diabetes treatment, Mounjaro. Bristol Myers&#39; sales of generics-facing Revlimid plummeted 32% with declines expected to continue. Merck&#39;s 2023 outlook lagged. <b>GSK</b> (GSK) and <b>Novo Nordisk</b> (NVO), on the other hand, topped sales and per-share earnings forecasts, but <b>Novartis</b> (NVS) reported light profit. <b>Sanofi</b> (SNY) met EPS views but sales were light.</p><h2>Biotech Earnings</h2><p><b>Amgen</b> (AMGN) fell 7%, just missing, while flat sales missed. Shares fell on its 2023 outlook, which didn&#39;t include Amgen&#39;s looming <b>Horizon Therapeutics</b> (HZNP) takeover. <b>Gilead Sciences</b> (GILD) popped after its earnings report, with EPS surging 142% and overall sales 2%, both easily beating. <b>Regeneron</b> (REGN) also beat forecasts, though sales tumbled 31% due to a downfall in Covid antibody sales, with adjusted EPS off 46%. Amgen fell sharply, while Gilead and Regeneron rose, with REGN flirting with a breakout.</p><h2>Caterpillar Profit Disappoints</h2><p><b>Caterpillar</b> (CAT) earnings for Q4 rose 43% to $3.86, but missed estimates. Revenue climbed 20% to $16.6 billion, ahead of views. CAT stock, a global bellwether, has surged on a better global economic outlook led by China and Europe. Yet Caterpillar says it&#39;s not yet seeing higher demand in China. CAT stock tumbled to its 50-day line, but bounced somewhat Friday.</p><h2>Trucking Earnings On Different Roads</h2><p><b>Old Dominion Freight Line</b> (ODFL) earnings rose 21%, well above views. But <b>ArcBest</b> (ARCB) and <b>Saia</b> (SAIA) missed, with modest year-over-year EPS declines. ArcBest and Saia both noted that shipping tonnage fell and volume slowed during a &#34;softer freight environment.&#34; Still, revenue per shipment grew due to pricing increases. ODFL spiked. ArcBest and Saia initially tumbled on Friday, but rebounded to continue strong weekly gains.</p><h2>Footwear Makers Step Up</h2><p><b>Deckers Outdoor</b> (DECK) reported a 24% EPS gain with revenue up 13%, both beating. Hoka running shoe sales spiked 91% to $352 million. But Deckers&#39; guidance implied a slight Q4 miss. <b>Skechers</b> (SKX) posted an 18% per share profit decline with sales up 14%. The shoe maker guided low on revenue.</p><h2>Health Insurers Slide On Outlook Concerns</h2><p><b>Cigna</b> (CI) edged past Q4 estimates with 4% growth, but the big commercial health insurer offered below-expected guidance for 2023, despite predicting a boost of 1.2 million members. CI stock sold off toward a three-month low. Leading Medicare Advantage player <b>Humana</b> (HUM) cruised past EPS estimates with 31% growth, while saying it&#39;ll earn at least as much as the consensus view in 2023. HUM stock rallied on the report, but it didn&#39;t last. That&#39;s because the government agency that oversees Medicare Advantage proposed the smallest increase since 2016 for next year.</p><h2>News In Brief</h2><p><b>GE HealthCare Technologies</b> (GEHC) reported a 4% EPS drop with revenue up nearly 8% in its report since its spinoff from <b>General Electric</b> (GE). GEHC guided for modest growth in 2023.</p><p><b>UPS</b> (UPS) reported a 1% EPS gain, slightly beating, while revenue fell 3% to $27 billion, missing. The shipping giant announced a $5 billion buyback and hiked its dividend nearly 7%.</p><p><b>McDonald&#39;s</b> (MCD) reported 16% EPS growth while revenue dipped 1%, both beating. But shares fell as the fast-food giant warned that inflation concerns will affect margins.</p><p><b>ChampionX</b> (CHX) topped EPS views, but the drilling tech firm missed on revenue and guided low.

Friday's superhot jobs report failed to derail the uptrend. Big earnings or guidance continued to be mixed, but Meta Platforms (META) skyrocketed on cost cuts, revenue guidance and a big buyback. AMD (AMD) also was a big winner, while Apple (AAPL) rallied despite missing views. Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL) and Amazon.com (AMZN) had solidly weekly gains. General Motors (GM) soared on strong earnings, though Ford (F) tumbled on its results. Oil stocks skidded as energy prices retreated.Market Rally Decisively Clears Key ResistanceThe market rally continued rising, as investors hailed Fed chief Jerome Powell's comments and often-mixed earnings, taking a strong jobs report in stride. The Nasdaq and small-cap Russell 2000 moved decisively above their late 2022 highs. The S&P 500 also cleared its recent peaks, while the Dow Jones faced some struggles. Crude oil futures retreated significantly, while natural gas continued to tumble. Treasury yields tumbled to their lowest levels in several months.Fed Tame As Jobs RoarThe Federal Reserve hiked its key rate a quarter-point and signaled at least two more hikes still to come. With Wall Street betting that the Fed will pause after just one more hike in March, that guidance could have been a downer. But Fed Chair Jerome Powell seemed to fire up animal spirits by hailing disinflationary trends, while sounding upbeat about a soft landing for the U.S. economy and expressing no qualms about easing financial conditions. However, the January jobs report out on Friday showed hiring surged in January with unemployment falling to the lowest level since 1969. However, wage gains slowed to 4.4%, lowest since August 2021. Still, hiring strength and a new rock-bottom for unemployment have shifted odds slightly in favor of two more rate hikes. Meanwhile, the ISM U.S. manufacturing index was weak, but the ISM's service-sector gauge showed a big jump.Meta Platforms Surges On 2023 OutlookMeta Platforms (META) reported a 52% EPS decline, in line with views, while revenue fell 4%, slightly topping. Shares surged as the Facebook parent vowed to make 2023 a \"year of efficiency\" following massive spending on the metaverse in 2022. Meta guided up on Q1 revenue and slashed capital spending and other planned expenses for the year. It also announced a $40 billion buyback.Apple Misses Holiday-Quarter TargetsConsumer electronics giant Apple (AAPL) missed its December-quarter sales and earnings targets amid supply constraints and foreign exchange headwinds. Fiscal Q1 EPS fell 10% as sales sank 5% to $117.2 billion. Apple's iPhone revenue sank 8% to $65.8 billion after it couldn't make enough iPhone 14 Pro models to meet demand. Apple's Mac computer sales tumbled 29% to $7.7 billion. And revenue from Apple's wearables, home and accessories unit declined 8% to $13.5 billion. However, iPad sales rose 30% to $9.4 billion in the holiday quarter. And services revenue increased 6% to $20.8 billion.Amazon EPS Dives, Outlook WeakQ4 EPS crashed 98%, well below views. Revenue rose nearly 9% to $149.2 billion, topping views, but slowing from Q3's 15%. Amazon Web Services revenue popped 20%, slowing from Q3's 27.5% and slightly below views. Amazon (AMZN) guided Q1 revenue forecasts lower, with high-margin AWS expected to show further deceleration in growth. Shares fell Friday but rose solidly for the week.Google Misses As Ad Revenue FallsGoogle-parent Alphabet (GOOGL) reported Q4 earnings and revenue that missed Wall Street targets amid slowing growth in internet search advertising, YouTube ads and cloud-computing services. Q4 earnings tumbled 31%. Gross revenue rose 1% to $76.05 billion. Advertising revenue fell 3% to $59.04 billion, missing estimates. In addition, ad revenue at Google's YouTube fell more than 7% to $7.96 billion. Google said cloud-computing revenue rose 32% to $7.32 billion, missing estimates of $7.44 billion. In Q3, cloud revenue rose 38%.Chipmakers Offer Weak OutlookSemiconductor manufacturers mostly guided Wall Street lower for the current period as they delivered earnings reports in the past week. Chipmakers offering a weak outlook included those exposed to personal computers and smartphones, such as Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Qorvo (QRVO) and Qualcomm (QCOM). Bucking the trend with beat-and-raise earnings reports were Allegro MicroSystems (ALGM), Microchip Technology (MCHP) and Silicon Labs (SLAB). They have greater exposure to automotive, industrial and Internet-of-Things markets.Oil Majors' Results MixedExxon Mobil (XOM) reported a 66% EPS gain, though the 12% revenue rise missed. Amid surging cash, Exxon plans on returning up to $35 billion to shareholders through dividends and buybacks in 2023. Shell (SHEL) EPS swelled 67% due to strong LNG and gas trading and refining margins, while revenue increased 19% to $101.3 billion. ConocoPhillips (COP) missed earnings and revenue views, though EPS was up 19% and sales 21%. It plans to return $11 billion to shareholders in 2023. Oil stocks generally fell amid skidding oil and gas prices.GM Crushes Views, Ford Leaves $2 Billion 'On The Table'General Motors (GM) crushed earnings and revenue estimates for the fourth quarter, while guiding for another solid year in 2023. Year over year, EPS grew 57%, accelerating from a 48% gain the prior quarter. Revenue rose 28%, but margins fell. Demand and pricing for GM vehicles \"remain strong,\" CFO Paul Jacobson said, amid recession fears. The auto giant also announced a hefty investment in Lithium Americas (LAC), as it ramps up on electric vehicles and lithium-based EV batteries. Ford (F) went the opposite way, missing Q4 earnings estimates and losing $2 billion for the full year due to poor execution, while giving a downbeat outlook for 2023. GM jumped, flashing a buy signal. Ford tumbled on results, slashing weekly gains.Meanwhile, new U.S. vehicle sales were stronger than expected in January as supply disruptions continue to ease.More crossover SUVs will be eligible for tax credits at prices up to $80,000, the U.S. government announced Friday in a reversal. That should benefit Tesla (TSLA) and Ford in particular.Homebuilders Rally On EarningsPulte Group (PHM), NVR (NVR) and Meritage (MTH) topped EPS and revenue views, with solid growth, though orders point to weaker results ahead. M.D.C. Holdings (MDC) missed on revenue. But all four homebuilders rallied solidly for the week, along with other builders and many other housing-related stocks. One outlier: Beazer Homes (BZH) reported mixed results and tumbled Friday.Drug Earnings MixedPfizer beat adjusted earnings expectations at $1.14 per share, up 45%, but sales rose just 2% and the drug giant projected massive declines for its Covid products this year. Merck (MRK), Eli Lilly (LLY) and Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY) all beat quarterly expectations. But Lilly shares fell on lighter-than-expected sales for its newest diabetes treatment, Mounjaro. Bristol Myers' sales of generics-facing Revlimid plummeted 32% with declines expected to continue. Merck's 2023 outlook lagged. GSK (GSK) and Novo Nordisk (NVO), on the other hand, topped sales and per-share earnings forecasts, but Novartis (NVS) reported light profit. Sanofi (SNY) met EPS views but sales were light.Biotech EarningsAmgen (AMGN) fell 7%, just missing, while flat sales missed. Shares fell on its 2023 outlook, which didn't include Amgen's looming Horizon Therapeutics (HZNP) takeover. Gilead Sciences (GILD) popped after its earnings report, with EPS surging 142% and overall sales 2%, both easily beating. Regeneron (REGN) also beat forecasts, though sales tumbled 31% due to a downfall in Covid antibody sales, with adjusted EPS off 46%. Amgen fell sharply, while Gilead and Regeneron rose, with REGN flirting with a breakout.Caterpillar Profit DisappointsCaterpillar (CAT) earnings for Q4 rose 43% to $3.86, but missed estimates. Revenue climbed 20% to $16.6 billion, ahead of views. CAT stock, a global bellwether, has surged on a better global economic outlook led by China and Europe. Yet Caterpillar says it's not yet seeing higher demand in China. CAT stock tumbled to its 50-day line, but bounced somewhat Friday.Trucking Earnings On Different RoadsOld Dominion Freight Line (ODFL) earnings rose 21%, well above views. But ArcBest (ARCB) and Saia (SAIA) missed, with modest year-over-year EPS declines. ArcBest and Saia both noted that shipping tonnage fell and volume slowed during a \"softer freight environment.\" Still, revenue per shipment grew due to pricing increases. ODFL spiked. ArcBest and Saia initially tumbled on Friday, but rebounded to continue strong weekly gains.Footwear Makers Step UpDeckers Outdoor (DECK) reported a 24% EPS gain with revenue up 13%, both beating. Hoka running shoe sales spiked 91% to $352 million. But Deckers' guidance implied a slight Q4 miss. Skechers (SKX) posted an 18% per share profit decline with sales up 14%. The shoe maker guided low on revenue.Health Insurers Slide On Outlook ConcernsCigna (CI) edged past Q4 estimates with 4% growth, but the big commercial health insurer offered below-expected guidance for 2023, despite predicting a boost of 1.2 million members. CI stock sold off toward a three-month low. Leading Medicare Advantage player Humana (HUM) cruised past EPS estimates with 31% growth, while saying it'll earn at least as much as the consensus view in 2023. HUM stock rallied on the report, but it didn't last. That's because the government agency that oversees Medicare Advantage proposed the smallest increase since 2016 for next year.News In BriefGE HealthCare Technologies (GEHC) reported a 4% EPS drop with revenue up nearly 8% in its report since its spinoff from General Electric (GE). GEHC guided for modest growth in 2023.UPS (UPS) reported a 1% EPS gain, slightly beating, while revenue fell 3% to $27 billion, missing. The shipping giant announced a $5 billion buyback and hiked its dividend nearly 7%.McDonald's (MCD) reported 16% EPS growth while revenue dipped 1%, both beating. But shares fell as the fast-food giant warned that inflation concerns will affect margins.ChampionX (CHX) topped EPS views, but the drilling tech firm missed on revenue and guided low. CHX stock tumbled. Helmerich & Payne (HP) beat first-quarter 2023 earnings estimates Monday, with revenue up 76% to $720 million.World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) reported a 22% EPS drop while revenue rose 5%, both slightly missing views.Dynatrace (DT) reported fiscal Q3 EPS rose 38% while revenue climbed 24% to $297.5 million, both beating. Annual recurring revenue, or ARR, rose 25% to $1.163 billion, just topping estimates. The app monitoring software maker guided higher for current quarter revenue.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":401,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9957121092,"gmtCreate":1677111685316,"gmtModify":1677111887024,"author":{"id":"3559859558754319","authorId":"3559859558754319","name":"Bodoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349218ea2852130ca86ce660b4aa2d59","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559859558754319","authorIdStr":"3559859558754319"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Written by fool","listText":"Written by fool","text":"Written by fool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":20,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9957121092","repostId":"2313010470","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2313010470","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1677110623,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2313010470?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-02-23 08:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Stocks Down More Than 50% to Buy Right Now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2313010470","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"After sell-offs, these top tech stocks are set for big comebacks.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Tech stocks have seen some recovery momentum early in 2023&#39;s trading, but many top stocks still trade at big discounts compared to previous valuation highs. While the tech-heavy <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> index climbed roughly 10.3% year to date as of this writing, the index&#39;s level is still down more than 28% from its peak.</p><p>For investors looking to build long-term positions in top companies, there are still opportunities to buy stocks with the potential to deliver explosive returns at big discounts. Read on to see why two Motley Fool contributors believe that adding these two stocks to your portfolio would be a smart move right now.</p><h2>CrowdStrike&#39;s best days are still ahead</h2><p><b>Keith Noonan: </b>For hackers attempting to illegally gain access to networks, trying to exploit connected hardware devices is one of the most common avenues of attack. <b>CrowdStrike</b> stands as the leading provider of cloud-based endpoint device protection software, and its technologies prevent servers, mobile devices, and computers from being used as weak points for carrying out cyberattacks.</p><p>Despite providing essential, category-leading cybersecurity services, CrowdStrike saw its stock price slashed in conjunction with broader bearish trends for growth stocks and signs that economic conditions will create a less-favorable near-term growth outlook. CrowdStrike&#39;s stock currently trades down roughly 61% from its lifetime high, but I think that it stands a very good chance of bouncing back and delivering strong returns for patient investors.</p><p>Even with macroeconomic headwinds over the last year, CrowdStrike managed to increase revenue at an impressive clip, and it&#39;s got a large, fast-growing addressable market to continue expanding into. Management expects that it will have a total addressable market (TAM) of $76.1 billion this year. Based on its current software lineup, the company estimates that its TAM will grow at 13% compound annual growth rate from 2024 through 2025, reaching $97.8 billion.</p><p>With the company&#39;s guidance suggesting that it grew sales roughly 64% annually and reached revenue of approximately $2.23 billion last fiscal year, the business is still capturing just a small fraction of its addressable market. Rapid growth also shows that CrowdStrike is quickly gaining market share.</p><p>But the opportunity going forward actually looks even better. Spurred on by market growth for its existing service categories, new product launches, and an unfolding cloud security opportunity, management expects that the company&#39;s TAM in 2026 will actually be $158 billion.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/98a23041d3f1435d35f27348078cadab\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"449\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>CRWD PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts</p><p>With the company valued at approximately 57 times expected forward earnings and 9 times expected forward sales, CrowdStrike undeniably has a highly growth-dependent valuation, even after some big sell-offs for the stock. But its price-to-earnings and price-to-sales ratios also look low on a historical basis, and I believe the company&#39;s long-term growth story is still in its very early innings.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a> has dealt with significant challenges effectively in the past</h2><p><b>Parkev Tatevosian:</b> Down 54% off its high in 2021, this might be an excellent time to buy <b>Meta Platforms</b> stock. The social media giant boasts billions of monthly active users across its family of apps, which are free to join and use. Meta makes its money by selling advertising to folks browsing the applications.</p><p>Additionally, Meta recently announced a premium plan that includes additional verification features and other benefits for users of some of its services who pay a monthly fee. It&#39;s too early to tell whether the premium service will gain widespread adoption.</p><p>Nevertheless, Meta has had no trouble turning the free service into a pot of gold. Between 2013 and 2022, Meta&#39;s revenue grew at a compounded annual rate of 36.8%. More impressively, the top-line growth boosted operating income from $2.8 billion to $28.9 billion in that same time frame.</p><p>Admittedly, that growth slowed in recent quarters as privacy policy changes implemented by <b>Apple</b> made it more difficult for Meta to sell targeted advertising. Marketers are willing to pay higher prices for precision ads because it reduces waste and increases return on investment.</p><p>This headwind goes some way to explaining why Meta&#39;s stock is trading at a discount. Still, the company has gone through challenging situations in the past and dealt with them successfully. Examples include the significant shift from desktop to mobile devices, and then from images to stories with multiple images uploaded in a single post.</p><p>All this suggests investors can be reasonably confident in Meta&#39;s ability to handle the current challenges effectively. Meanwhile, they can buy Meta&#39;s stock at a relatively cheap forward price-to-earnings ratio of 18.82.</p><h2>CrowdStrike and Meta Platforms are poised to deliver wins down the stretch</h2><p>Investors can use valuation pullbacks for top technology stocks as an opportunity to build positions that could translate to life-changing returns.

While the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index climbed roughly 10.3% year to date as of this writing, the index's level is still down more than 28% from its peak.For investors looking to build long-term positions in top companies, there are still opportunities to buy stocks with the potential to deliver explosive returns at big discounts. Read on to see why two Motley Fool contributors believe that adding these two stocks to your portfolio would be a smart move right now.CrowdStrike's best days are still aheadKeith Noonan: For hackers attempting to illegally gain access to networks, trying to exploit connected hardware devices is one of the most common avenues of attack. CrowdStrike stands as the leading provider of cloud-based endpoint device protection software, and its technologies prevent servers, mobile devices, and computers from being used as weak points for carrying out cyberattacks.Despite providing essential, category-leading cybersecurity services, CrowdStrike saw its stock price slashed in conjunction with broader bearish trends for growth stocks and signs that economic conditions will create a less-favorable near-term growth outlook. CrowdStrike's stock currently trades down roughly 61% from its lifetime high, but I think that it stands a very good chance of bouncing back and delivering strong returns for patient investors.Even with macroeconomic headwinds over the last year, CrowdStrike managed to increase revenue at an impressive clip, and it's got a large, fast-growing addressable market to continue expanding into. Management expects that it will have a total addressable market (TAM) of $76.1 billion this year. Based on its current software lineup, the company estimates that its TAM will grow at 13% compound annual growth rate from 2024 through 2025, reaching $97.8 billion.With the company's guidance suggesting that it grew sales roughly 64% annually and reached revenue of approximately $2.23 billion last fiscal year, the business is still capturing just a small fraction of its addressable market. Rapid growth also shows that CrowdStrike is quickly gaining market share.But the opportunity going forward actually looks even better. Spurred on by market growth for its existing service categories, new product launches, and an unfolding cloud security opportunity, management expects that the company's TAM in 2026 will actually be $158 billion.CRWD PE Ratio (Forward) data by YChartsWith the company valued at approximately 57 times expected forward earnings and 9 times expected forward sales, CrowdStrike undeniably has a highly growth-dependent valuation, even after some big sell-offs for the stock. But its price-to-earnings and price-to-sales ratios also look low on a historical basis, and I believe the company's long-term growth story is still in its very early innings.Meta Platforms has dealt with significant challenges effectively in the pastParkev Tatevosian: Down 54% off its high in 2021, this might be an excellent time to buy Meta Platforms stock. The social media giant boasts billions of monthly active users across its family of apps, which are free to join and use. Meta makes its money by selling advertising to folks browsing the applications.Additionally, Meta recently announced a premium plan that includes additional verification features and other benefits for users of some of its services who pay a monthly fee. It's too early to tell whether the premium service will gain widespread adoption.Nevertheless, Meta has had no trouble turning the free service into a pot of gold. Between 2013 and 2022, Meta's revenue grew at a compounded annual rate of 36.8%. More impressively, the top-line growth boosted operating income from $2.8 billion to $28.9 billion in that same time frame.Admittedly, that growth slowed in recent quarters as privacy policy changes implemented by Apple made it more difficult for Meta to sell targeted advertising. Marketers are willing to pay higher prices for precision ads because it reduces waste and increases return on investment.This headwind goes some way to explaining why Meta's stock is trading at a discount. Still, the company has gone through challenging situations in the past and dealt with them successfully. Examples include the significant shift from desktop to mobile devices, and then from images to stories with multiple images uploaded in a single post.All this suggests investors can be reasonably confident in Meta's ability to handle the current challenges effectively. Meanwhile, they can buy Meta's stock at a relatively cheap forward price-to-earnings ratio of 18.82.CrowdStrike and Meta Platforms are poised to deliver wins down the stretchInvestors can use valuation pullbacks for top technology stocks as an opportunity to build positions that could translate to life-changing returns. CrowdStrike and Meta Platforms both enjoy leadership positions in their respective corners of the tech sector, and each of these companies looks poised to continue delivering wins over the long term. While the market may continue to be volatile in the near term, these two stocks stand out as worthwhile buys for investors looking to add top tech stocks to their portfolios.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":29,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9968496969,"gmtCreate":1669278284151,"gmtModify":1676538177993,"author":{"id":"3559859558754319","authorId":"3559859558754319","name":"Bodoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349218ea2852130ca86ce660b4aa2d59","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559859558754319","authorIdStr":"3559859558754319"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Don't gamble.

At that point, the stock was trading for $14 and although the stock had already declined 67% at that point from its previous all-time highs, I stated thatPalantir was a risky bet. In the meantime, the stock has been cut almost in half again and is now trading about 80% below its previous all-time high. Nevertheless, Palantir is still not a good investment, and I will explain why I am still cautious about the stock.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7dde9d87a6c57be44bdc788e65a9bda1\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><h2>Quarterly Results</h2><p>We can start by looking at the third quarter results, which Palantir reported at the beginning of November. And for starters, we must point out that Palantir is still increasing with a solid growth rate while other technology companies are already struggling and are not able to report double-digit revenue growth anymore.</p><p>Revenue in the third quarter increased from $392.1 million in the same quarter last year to $477.9 million in this quarter – resulting in 21.9% year-over-year growth. Loss from operations declined from $91.9 million in Q3/21 to $62.2 million in Q3/22 and although Palantir could improve, the business is still not profitable. But diluted net loss per share increased from $0.05 to a loss of $0.06 in this quarter.</p><p>Additionally, the total customers for Palantir increased from 203 in the same quarter last year to 337 right now – resulting in 66% year-over-year growth. And compared to the previous quarter, Palantir added 33 net new customers.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/775a52ff7988f009fb5679e4a65341e4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"358\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Palantir Q3/22 Presentation</span></p><p>During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, Palantir closed 78 deals of at least $1 million with 32 of these deals being at least $5 million and 19 deals were at least $10 million.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/44937fe9eca5417fd0c51facb9d3648f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"358\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Palantir Q3/22 Presentation</span></p><p>And when looking at the guidance for fiscal 2022, Palantir is now expecting $1.9 billion to $1.902 billion in revenue. Palantir raised its guidance and is now expecting an adjusted income from operations to be between $384 million to $386 million.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/54098b8b48757becfeea0894faab6e65\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"359\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Palantir Q3/22 Presentation</span></p><h2>Growth Opportunities In Challenging Times</h2><p>But despite the raised guidance, when listening to Alexander Karp during the earnings calls or in interviews, he is seeing difficult times ahead. During the last earnings call, Alexander Karp made the following statement:</p><blockquote>By the way, that&#39;s why we prepared and then that&#39;s the technical thing. Why do we have 8 quarters of free cash flow? Do you think it&#39;s a coincidence, we were preparing for this. We have -- why do we have $2.4 billion in the bank and no debt? We weren&#39;t living in the metasphere. We were living in this world in the way we thought it would be -- and we&#39;ve been essentially -- you could even look at this as a prep. We&#39;re a prepper company. We&#39;ve been preparing it&#39;s like -- preppers have their rucksack and a rifle. We have PG, GAIA, Foundry and $2.4 billion in the bank and no debt. That&#39;s our company.</blockquote><p>And when looking at the balance sheet, Palantir is positioned quite well. On September 30, 2022, the company had $2,411 million in cash and cash equivalents as well as $57 million in short-term marketable securities. And aside from having no debt on the balance sheet, the company also has no goodwill on its balance sheet. In case of Palantir, 74% of its $3,319 million in total assets are highly liquid assets (cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities), which is good in case of crisis.</p><p>But not only is Palantir prepared for challenging times due to a solid balance sheet, Alexander Karp is also expecting the company to profit from the uncertain times ahead. During an interview with CNBC at the end of September, he made the following statement:</p><blockquote>Bad times are incredibly good for Palantir... bad times really uncover the durable companies, and tech is going through bad times... interest rates are the reason.</blockquote><p>Karp also states that Palantir’s software is at war – in Europe and around the world. And he sees the software as a way for nations to impose and defend their values. And Karp sees great growth potential in the years ahead – not only because Palantir might profit from bad times:</p><blockquote>We recognize that our path to growth is not always linear, but with the opportunity that lies ahead, we continue to recruit and retain the top talent at a time when other companies in the technology sector are slashing their plans and cutting workforces.</blockquote><blockquote>We have spent the last 2 decades building our products for the world in which we actually live. The disruption and uncertainty that we&#39;re seeing around us from Ukraine, the pandemic and inflation, it&#39;s driving customers towards us and to our software.</blockquote><p>In the second quarter earnings call, Alexander Karp said his ambition was to drive the company to $4.5 billion in revenue in 2025. In the same earnings call, Karp also expected that Palantir will finally be profitable in 2025. And of course, it is not unreasonable for Palantir to expect high growth rates. In its Form S-1. Palantir wrote its total addressable market [TAM] should be approximately $119 billion with the commercial sector being around $56 billion and the government sector being around $63 billion. This TAM is excluding institutions and countries where Palantir has chosen not to sell its software.</p><p>This seems to be in line with the expectations of other studies. And not only has Palantir a market share of only around 2% right now – giving the company enough room to grow by gaining market shares. Different studies are also expecting growth rates in the double digits for the market. When looking at the advanced analytics market, some expect even a CAGR above 20% in the years to come.</p><p>And during the last earnings call, Alexander Karp also pointed out where he is seeing the huge competitive advantage of Palantir – especially compared to peers like Microsoft (MSFT) or Snowflake (SNOW):</p><blockquote>The answer is really the ontology. It&#39;s why our platforms remain far ahead of the competition. And that&#39;s because the ontology, it&#39;s the missing link in terms of what you need to realize value from all of these investments. It&#39;s the component and the architecture that&#39;s required to get data apps to actually deliver value on top of cloud data warehouses or to get AI to scale throughout the enterprise or to turn your digital twin into something that&#39;s actionable and operational within the enterprise. And we&#39;ve spent 15 years investing in a road map that&#39;s deep and built upon the ontology, and it continues to be the focus of all the core investments that we&#39;re making around product.</blockquote><h2>Reservation Against Palantir</h2><p>But despite the competitive advantage Karp sees for Palantir in the years to come, the business is also facing risks in its path toward growth. In his last letter to shareholders, Alexander Karp wrote:</p><blockquote>It has been our experience, however, that some countries, particularly in continental Europe, including Germany, have fallen behind the United States in their willingness and ability to implement enterprise software systems that challenge existing habits and modes of operation.</blockquote><blockquote>There have been repeated attempts to build replicas of Silicon Valley in continental Europe, in Germany and elsewhere, but the results have been decidedly mixed.</blockquote><blockquote>We have found that large institutions in the United States have been far more willing to investigate the most significant sources of systemic dysfunction within their organizations, which in the current moment often relate to the ability or rather inability of an institution to metabolize its own data.</blockquote><p>And this is an aspect that should certainly not be underestimated for Palantir’s ambitions to grow in the years to come. And from a German perspective I think Karp is correct in his assessment of people living here (as well as institutions) having strong reservations against Palantir.</p><h2>Stock-Based Compensation Leading To Dilution</h2><p>Not only is the business facing several risks, but shareholders are also facing risks by owning the stock right now. And one huge risk shareholders are facing is the stock-based compensation which is leading to a constant dilution of shares and in the last few quarters, the number of outstanding shares increased with a high pace. Right now, we have 2,073 million outstanding shares compared to 1,964 million one year earlier and 1,763 million after the IPO of Palantir. This is resulting in an increase of almost 18% in less than two years and in my opinion, this is not a good sign for investors. And finally, this dilution has a huge negative impact on the intrinsic value of Palantir.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba9fe6b4274d2704f89363d89bcddb6a\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"435\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Of course, stock-based compensations can also have a positive side as it is a good way to get great talent for the business and employees, that are behind the company and the company’s goals (as they are also profiting from a thriving business resulting in a higher share price). And this can certainly have a positive effect on the business in the long run. However, diluted in the high single digits annually is extreme – even for a company growing with a high pace.</p><h2>Intrinsic Value Calculation</h2><p>A final risk for shareholders is simply overpaying for a stock that is not worth what it is currently trading for.</p><p>We can start by looking at simple valuation metrics – especially the price-free-cash-flow ratio as well as the price-sales ratio. Looking at the price-earnings ratio doesn’t make much sense as the metric is negative. Of course, the price-sales ratio declined over the last year, but Palantir is still trading for 9 times sales which is certainly not cheap. When looking at the S&amp;P 500 (SPY), there are only about 45 companies trading with a higher price-sales ratio. And the median P/S ratio of the S&amp;P 500 is 2.72 at the time of writing. And even when looking at technology stocks (according to Finviz; market cap above $2 billion), the median P/S ratio is 4.41. But as long as we are talking about price-sales ratios we also have to point out that Snowflake is trading for 28 times sales right now and compared to these valuation multiples, Palantir’s valuation seems to be quite reasonable.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/38f5a49a57b61fa9fbd749ed81950b1d\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"447\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>When looking at the price-free-cash-flow ratio, Palantir is trading for a multiple of 84. Although this is below the 2021 P/FCF peak of 750 and below the average of 227, Palantir is still trading for extremely high valuation multiples (and usually even high growth rates can’t justify valuation multiples close to 100). And once again, we can point out that Snowflake is trading for a P/FCF ratio of 155 – twice as high as Palantir.</p><p>When using a discount cash flow calculation, we can take the free cash flow of the last four quarters as basis. But let’s be more optimistic and use the highest free cash flow Palantir could report so far ($320 million in free cash flow). When taking this amount as basis and assume 6% growth till perpetuity (like we always do with high quality businesses) the company must grow its free cash flow about 17% annually for the next ten years to be fairly valued (assuming 2,073 million outstanding shares and a 10% discount rate).</p><p>I would not say such growth rates are impossible for a company – we can find several examples of businesses growing with such a CAGR over 10 years or even longer. But 17% growth for 10 years would probably be one of the highest growth rates I ever used in an intrinsic value calculation just to reach fair value for a stock. And these calculations are assuming no further dilution of shares, which seems rather unlikely at this point. In the last two years, the company has been diluting in the high single digits and to set dilution off, Palantir rather must grow its free cash flow about 25% annually to be fairly valued for the next few years. And 25% growth is also not impossible but no growth rate I would use in any way (in my opinion, this would be investing based on hope).</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>Although the stock price is now more than 40% lower than when my last article was published, I am afraid the conclusion must be the same. The stock is still not fairly valued and not a great investment. With thousands of other stocks being available and us being able to identify at least 100 high-quality businesses with a wide economic moat, I don’t see any reason to bet on Palantir. A company where it is difficult to estimate the growth potential and where the huge stock-based compensations and resulting stock dilutions are offsetting to any investor. And the potential high growth potential Palantir could have is not enough at this point to bet on Palantir.</p><p><i>This article is written by Daniel Schönberger for reference only.

At that point, the stock was trading for $14 and although the stock had already declined 67% at that point from its previous all-time highs, I stated thatPalantir was a risky bet. In the meantime, the stock has been cut almost in half again and is now trading about 80% below its previous all-time high. Nevertheless, Palantir is still not a good investment, and I will explain why I am still cautious about the stock.Data by YChartsQuarterly ResultsWe can start by looking at the third quarter results, which Palantir reported at the beginning of November. And for starters, we must point out that Palantir is still increasing with a solid growth rate while other technology companies are already struggling and are not able to report double-digit revenue growth anymore.Revenue in the third quarter increased from $392.1 million in the same quarter last year to $477.9 million in this quarter – resulting in 21.9% year-over-year growth. Loss from operations declined from $91.9 million in Q3/21 to $62.2 million in Q3/22 and although Palantir could improve, the business is still not profitable. But diluted net loss per share increased from $0.05 to a loss of $0.06 in this quarter.Additionally, the total customers for Palantir increased from 203 in the same quarter last year to 337 right now – resulting in 66% year-over-year growth. And compared to the previous quarter, Palantir added 33 net new customers.Palantir Q3/22 PresentationDuring the third quarter of fiscal 2022, Palantir closed 78 deals of at least $1 million with 32 of these deals being at least $5 million and 19 deals were at least $10 million.Palantir Q3/22 PresentationAnd when looking at the guidance for fiscal 2022, Palantir is now expecting $1.9 billion to $1.902 billion in revenue. Palantir raised its guidance and is now expecting an adjusted income from operations to be between $384 million to $386 million.Palantir Q3/22 PresentationGrowth Opportunities In Challenging TimesBut despite the raised guidance, when listening to Alexander Karp during the earnings calls or in interviews, he is seeing difficult times ahead. During the last earnings call, Alexander Karp made the following statement:By the way, that's why we prepared and then that's the technical thing. Why do we have 8 quarters of free cash flow? Do you think it's a coincidence, we were preparing for this. We have -- why do we have $2.4 billion in the bank and no debt? We weren't living in the metasphere. We were living in this world in the way we thought it would be -- and we've been essentially -- you could even look at this as a prep. We're a prepper company. We've been preparing it's like -- preppers have their rucksack and a rifle. We have PG, GAIA, Foundry and $2.4 billion in the bank and no debt. That's our company.And when looking at the balance sheet, Palantir is positioned quite well. On September 30, 2022, the company had $2,411 million in cash and cash equivalents as well as $57 million in short-term marketable securities. And aside from having no debt on the balance sheet, the company also has no goodwill on its balance sheet. In case of Palantir, 74% of its $3,319 million in total assets are highly liquid assets (cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities), which is good in case of crisis.But not only is Palantir prepared for challenging times due to a solid balance sheet, Alexander Karp is also expecting the company to profit from the uncertain times ahead. During an interview with CNBC at the end of September, he made the following statement:Bad times are incredibly good for Palantir... bad times really uncover the durable companies, and tech is going through bad times... interest rates are the reason.Karp also states that Palantir’s software is at war – in Europe and around the world. And he sees the software as a way for nations to impose and defend their values. And Karp sees great growth potential in the years ahead – not only because Palantir might profit from bad times:We recognize that our path to growth is not always linear, but with the opportunity that lies ahead, we continue to recruit and retain the top talent at a time when other companies in the technology sector are slashing their plans and cutting workforces.We have spent the last 2 decades building our products for the world in which we actually live. The disruption and uncertainty that we're seeing around us from Ukraine, the pandemic and inflation, it's driving customers towards us and to our software.In the second quarter earnings call, Alexander Karp said his ambition was to drive the company to $4.5 billion in revenue in 2025. In the same earnings call, Karp also expected that Palantir will finally be profitable in 2025. And of course, it is not unreasonable for Palantir to expect high growth rates. In its Form S-1. Palantir wrote its total addressable market [TAM] should be approximately $119 billion with the commercial sector being around $56 billion and the government sector being around $63 billion. This TAM is excluding institutions and countries where Palantir has chosen not to sell its software.This seems to be in line with the expectations of other studies. And not only has Palantir a market share of only around 2% right now – giving the company enough room to grow by gaining market shares. Different studies are also expecting growth rates in the double digits for the market. When looking at the advanced analytics market, some expect even a CAGR above 20% in the years to come.And during the last earnings call, Alexander Karp also pointed out where he is seeing the huge competitive advantage of Palantir – especially compared to peers like Microsoft (MSFT) or Snowflake (SNOW):The answer is really the ontology. It's why our platforms remain far ahead of the competition. And that's because the ontology, it's the missing link in terms of what you need to realize value from all of these investments. It's the component and the architecture that's required to get data apps to actually deliver value on top of cloud data warehouses or to get AI to scale throughout the enterprise or to turn your digital twin into something that's actionable and operational within the enterprise. And we've spent 15 years investing in a road map that's deep and built upon the ontology, and it continues to be the focus of all the core investments that we're making around product.Reservation Against PalantirBut despite the competitive advantage Karp sees for Palantir in the years to come, the business is also facing risks in its path toward growth. In his last letter to shareholders, Alexander Karp wrote:It has been our experience, however, that some countries, particularly in continental Europe, including Germany, have fallen behind the United States in their willingness and ability to implement enterprise software systems that challenge existing habits and modes of operation.There have been repeated attempts to build replicas of Silicon Valley in continental Europe, in Germany and elsewhere, but the results have been decidedly mixed.We have found that large institutions in the United States have been far more willing to investigate the most significant sources of systemic dysfunction within their organizations, which in the current moment often relate to the ability or rather inability of an institution to metabolize its own data.And this is an aspect that should certainly not be underestimated for Palantir’s ambitions to grow in the years to come. And from a German perspective I think Karp is correct in his assessment of people living here (as well as institutions) having strong reservations against Palantir.Stock-Based Compensation Leading To DilutionNot only is the business facing several risks, but shareholders are also facing risks by owning the stock right now. And one huge risk shareholders are facing is the stock-based compensation which is leading to a constant dilution of shares and in the last few quarters, the number of outstanding shares increased with a high pace. Right now, we have 2,073 million outstanding shares compared to 1,964 million one year earlier and 1,763 million after the IPO of Palantir. This is resulting in an increase of almost 18% in less than two years and in my opinion, this is not a good sign for investors. And finally, this dilution has a huge negative impact on the intrinsic value of Palantir.Data by YChartsOf course, stock-based compensations can also have a positive side as it is a good way to get great talent for the business and employees, that are behind the company and the company’s goals (as they are also profiting from a thriving business resulting in a higher share price). And this can certainly have a positive effect on the business in the long run. However, diluted in the high single digits annually is extreme – even for a company growing with a high pace.Intrinsic Value CalculationA final risk for shareholders is simply overpaying for a stock that is not worth what it is currently trading for.We can start by looking at simple valuation metrics – especially the price-free-cash-flow ratio as well as the price-sales ratio. Looking at the price-earnings ratio doesn’t make much sense as the metric is negative. Of course, the price-sales ratio declined over the last year, but Palantir is still trading for 9 times sales which is certainly not cheap. When looking at the S&P 500 (SPY), there are only about 45 companies trading with a higher price-sales ratio. And the median P/S ratio of the S&P 500 is 2.72 at the time of writing. And even when looking at technology stocks (according to Finviz; market cap above $2 billion), the median P/S ratio is 4.41. But as long as we are talking about price-sales ratios we also have to point out that Snowflake is trading for 28 times sales right now and compared to these valuation multiples, Palantir’s valuation seems to be quite reasonable.Data by YChartsWhen looking at the price-free-cash-flow ratio, Palantir is trading for a multiple of 84. Although this is below the 2021 P/FCF peak of 750 and below the average of 227, Palantir is still trading for extremely high valuation multiples (and usually even high growth rates can’t justify valuation multiples close to 100). And once again, we can point out that Snowflake is trading for a P/FCF ratio of 155 – twice as high as Palantir.When using a discount cash flow calculation, we can take the free cash flow of the last four quarters as basis. But let’s be more optimistic and use the highest free cash flow Palantir could report so far ($320 million in free cash flow). When taking this amount as basis and assume 6% growth till perpetuity (like we always do with high quality businesses) the company must grow its free cash flow about 17% annually for the next ten years to be fairly valued (assuming 2,073 million outstanding shares and a 10% discount rate).I would not say such growth rates are impossible for a company – we can find several examples of businesses growing with such a CAGR over 10 years or even longer. But 17% growth for 10 years would probably be one of the highest growth rates I ever used in an intrinsic value calculation just to reach fair value for a stock. And these calculations are assuming no further dilution of shares, which seems rather unlikely at this point. In the last two years, the company has been diluting in the high single digits and to set dilution off, Palantir rather must grow its free cash flow about 25% annually to be fairly valued for the next few years. And 25% growth is also not impossible but no growth rate I would use in any way (in my opinion, this would be investing based on hope).ConclusionAlthough the stock price is now more than 40% lower than when my last article was published, I am afraid the conclusion must be the same. The stock is still not fairly valued and not a great investment. With thousands of other stocks being available and us being able to identify at least 100 high-quality businesses with a wide economic moat, I don’t see any reason to bet on Palantir. A company where it is difficult to estimate the growth potential and where the huge stock-based compensations and resulting stock dilutions are offsetting to any investor. And the potential high growth potential Palantir could have is not enough at this point to bet on Palantir.This article is written by Daniel Schönberger for reference only.

Officials say they expect to hold rates at restrictive levels for some time to allow their actions to travel throughout the economy.Williams also noted that the central bank’s balance sheet reduction plan is going smoothly and the Fed will keep shrinking holdings of mortgage-backed securities and Treasury securities as planned.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":199,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":111725206,"gmtCreate":1622701926505,"gmtModify":1704189234325,"author":{"id":"3559859558754319","authorId":"3559859558754319","name":"Bodoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349218ea2852130ca86ce660b4aa2d59","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559859558754319","authorIdStr":"3559859558754319"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Playing with fire is really enjoyable","listText":"Playing with fire is really enjoyable","text":"Playing with fire is really enjoyable","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/111725206","repostId":"1105752559","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1105752559","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622694904,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1105752559?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-03 12:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Opinion: What’s the smart way to play AMC’s stock?

But today actually is a great time to focus on the better days ahead -- whether they are right around the corner or farther down the road -- so that you can prepare your portfolio and enter that bull market in a position of strength.</p><p>Today, many top stocks with amazing growth prospects are cheap, beaten down by today&#39;s tough market. And that equals opportunity for you to snap up potential long-term winners for a bargain. You&#39;ll find these players across industries.</p><p>Let&#39;s check out five top stocks to buy now -- and benefit from later.</p><h2>1. Moderna</h2><p>When you think of<b> Moderna</b> (MRNA 6.95%), you probably think of the coronavirus vaccine. The vaccine has generated billions of dollars in earnings over the past two years. That&#39;s the company&#39;s only product right now -- and it helped Moderna&#39;s stock soar earlier in the pandemic.</p><p>These days, Moderna&#39;s dependence on the vaccine for revenue has done just the opposite: It&#39;s weighed on stock performance. That&#39;s as investors worry about future growth.</p><p>But these concerns look overdone. Moderna has 48 programs in development -- and even some opportunities for blockbuster revenue over the next few years. The company has three potential blockbusters other than the coronavirus program in phase 3 trials right now.</p><p>These are vaccine candidates for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), flu, and cytomegalovirus (CMV). Moderna aims to file for regulatory approval of the RSV candidate in the first half of this year.</p><p>All of this means Moderna may be poised for a new phase of growth. And a bull market could be the perfect occasion for this growth stock to soar.</p><h2>2. Teladoc Health</h2><p><b>Teladoc Health</b> (TDOC 3.02%) disappointed investors last year after reporting billion-dollar noncash goodwill impairment charges linked to an acquisition. Investors had already been worried about Teladoc&#39;s lack of profitability, and these charges deepened their concerns.</p><p>Still, it&#39;s important to look at the whole picture. Yes, it seems Teladoc overpaid for its purchase of chronic care specialist Livongo in 2020, resulting in the impairment charges. But over time, chronic care is a key growth element for Teladoc. So the investment could pay off in the long run.</p><p>Also, the company has made progress in areas that should help it on the path to profitability. Teladoc has increased members, revenue, and visits. The company also has made significant gains thanks to its mental health business, BetterHelp. That business&#39; revenue climbed 29% in the fourth quarter of last year and served more than 1 million people during the year.</p><p>Teladoc also has shifted its strategy to favor increasing margins and reaching profitability. Earlier in the year, this began by cutting some jobs and office space. Today, Teladoc is trading at its lowest ever in relation to sales. And this looks like a steal considering the company&#39;s potential in this high-growth market.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3bc205b8e6379bf5f647ee48f1ee21a1\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>TDOC PS Ratio data by YCharts</p><h2>3. Target</h2><p>Last year wasn&#39;t easy for <b>Target</b> (TGT -0.16%). The retailer faced higher inflation, which weighed on its costs and on shoppers&#39; wallets. In spite of the difficult environment, Target still managed to increase revenue -- and offer us clues that its growth story is far from over.</p><p>The fourth quarter represented Target&#39;s 23rd straight quarter of comparable sales growth. And the company made market share gains across all five of its product categories last year.</p><p>Moving forward, Target is investing in areas that should support long-term growth. The company opened six new sortation centers in 2022. These centers speed up order delivery and lower Target&#39;s costs.</p><p>Target also has revamped stores to better serve customers and partnered with companies like <b>Ulta Beauty</b> and <b>Disney</b> to drive traffic. Target says Ulta sales at Target quadrupled from 2021 to 2022.</p><p>Today, Target shares are trading for less than 20 times forward earnings estimates. That&#39;s down from more than 40 a year ago -- a steal considering Target&#39;s strength through tough times -- and potential growth ahead.</p><h2>4. Home Depot</h2><p>As people spent more time at home over the past few years, they increasingly focused on home improvement. And <b>Home Depot</b> (HD 0.07%), the world&#39;s biggest home improvement retailer, benefited. The company increased sales by $47.2 billion from 2019 through 2022. That represents a compound annual growth rate of more than 12%.</p><p>The company has noted a softening in demand in recent times. And this year probably won&#39;t be a huge year of growth. A slowdown in consumer spending may weigh on sales.</p><p>But this is a temporary situation -- and allows us the opportunity to pick up a strong long-term winner for a good price. Home Depot shares are trading for 18 times forward earnings estimates right now.</p><p>Meanwhile, Home Depot has invested in recent years in areas that should boost growth down the road, such as improving its digital platform. Home Depot also has focused on making the entire shopping experience easier for its professional customers. This is key because these customers represent a $450 billion market. So, potential market share gains here for Home Depot should translate into growth.</p><h2>5. Etsy</h2><p>Like other e-commerce companies and retailers, <b>Etsy </b>(ETSY -2.14%) is facing today&#39;s headwinds of higher inflation. But as I mentioned, today&#39;s economic woes won&#39;t last forever, so it&#39;s important to take a long-term view. And from this angle, there&#39;s reason to be optimistic about Etsy.</p><p>The e-commerce company was already growing prior to the pandemic. Shoppers liked going to Etsy for handmade goods -- and sellers were happy to set up shop on this platform.</p><p>But lockdowns earlier in the crisis gave people a fresh opportunity to discover this dynamic player. And Etsy&#39;s earnings soared. Importantly, Etsy&#39;s kept a lot of those gains.</p><p>The company, from a revenue perspective, is almost three times bigger than it was back in 2019. Etsy also has about twice as many active buyers as it did back then. And Etsy has broadened its reach.

But today actually is a great time to focus on the better days ahead -- whether they are right around the corner or farther down the road -- so that you can prepare your portfolio and enter that bull market in a position of strength.Today, many top stocks with amazing growth prospects are cheap, beaten down by today's tough market. And that equals opportunity for you to snap up potential long-term winners for a bargain. You'll find these players across industries.Let's check out five top stocks to buy now -- and benefit from later.1. ModernaWhen you think of Moderna (MRNA 6.95%), you probably think of the coronavirus vaccine. The vaccine has generated billions of dollars in earnings over the past two years. That's the company's only product right now -- and it helped Moderna's stock soar earlier in the pandemic.These days, Moderna's dependence on the vaccine for revenue has done just the opposite: It's weighed on stock performance. That's as investors worry about future growth.But these concerns look overdone. Moderna has 48 programs in development -- and even some opportunities for blockbuster revenue over the next few years. The company has three potential blockbusters other than the coronavirus program in phase 3 trials right now.These are vaccine candidates for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), flu, and cytomegalovirus (CMV). Moderna aims to file for regulatory approval of the RSV candidate in the first half of this year.All of this means Moderna may be poised for a new phase of growth. And a bull market could be the perfect occasion for this growth stock to soar.2. Teladoc HealthTeladoc Health (TDOC 3.02%) disappointed investors last year after reporting billion-dollar noncash goodwill impairment charges linked to an acquisition. Investors had already been worried about Teladoc's lack of profitability, and these charges deepened their concerns.Still, it's important to look at the whole picture. Yes, it seems Teladoc overpaid for its purchase of chronic care specialist Livongo in 2020, resulting in the impairment charges. But over time, chronic care is a key growth element for Teladoc. So the investment could pay off in the long run.Also, the company has made progress in areas that should help it on the path to profitability. Teladoc has increased members, revenue, and visits. The company also has made significant gains thanks to its mental health business, BetterHelp. That business' revenue climbed 29% in the fourth quarter of last year and served more than 1 million people during the year.Teladoc also has shifted its strategy to favor increasing margins and reaching profitability. Earlier in the year, this began by cutting some jobs and office space. Today, Teladoc is trading at its lowest ever in relation to sales. And this looks like a steal considering the company's potential in this high-growth market.TDOC PS Ratio data by YCharts3. TargetLast year wasn't easy for Target (TGT -0.16%). The retailer faced higher inflation, which weighed on its costs and on shoppers' wallets. In spite of the difficult environment, Target still managed to increase revenue -- and offer us clues that its growth story is far from over.The fourth quarter represented Target's 23rd straight quarter of comparable sales growth. And the company made market share gains across all five of its product categories last year.Moving forward, Target is investing in areas that should support long-term growth. The company opened six new sortation centers in 2022. These centers speed up order delivery and lower Target's costs.Target also has revamped stores to better serve customers and partnered with companies like Ulta Beauty and Disney to drive traffic. Target says Ulta sales at Target quadrupled from 2021 to 2022.Today, Target shares are trading for less than 20 times forward earnings estimates. That's down from more than 40 a year ago -- a steal considering Target's strength through tough times -- and potential growth ahead.4. Home DepotAs people spent more time at home over the past few years, they increasingly focused on home improvement. And Home Depot (HD 0.07%), the world's biggest home improvement retailer, benefited. The company increased sales by $47.2 billion from 2019 through 2022. That represents a compound annual growth rate of more than 12%.The company has noted a softening in demand in recent times. And this year probably won't be a huge year of growth. A slowdown in consumer spending may weigh on sales.But this is a temporary situation -- and allows us the opportunity to pick up a strong long-term winner for a good price. Home Depot shares are trading for 18 times forward earnings estimates right now.Meanwhile, Home Depot has invested in recent years in areas that should boost growth down the road, such as improving its digital platform. Home Depot also has focused on making the entire shopping experience easier for its professional customers. This is key because these customers represent a $450 billion market. So, potential market share gains here for Home Depot should translate into growth.5. EtsyLike other e-commerce companies and retailers, Etsy (ETSY -2.14%) is facing today's headwinds of higher inflation. But as I mentioned, today's economic woes won't last forever, so it's important to take a long-term view. And from this angle, there's reason to be optimistic about Etsy.The e-commerce company was already growing prior to the pandemic. Shoppers liked going to Etsy for handmade goods -- and sellers were happy to set up shop on this platform.But lockdowns earlier in the crisis gave people a fresh opportunity to discover this dynamic player. And Etsy's earnings soared. Importantly, Etsy's kept a lot of those gains.The company, from a revenue perspective, is almost three times bigger than it was back in 2019. Etsy also has about twice as many active buyers as it did back then. And Etsy has broadened its reach. For example, customers who identify as men have soared 124% since 2019 to a record high.And, in spite of today's difficult environment, Etsy's consolidated gross merchandise sales only fell 0.7% on a currency-neutral basis in the most recent quarter.Etsy trades at 25 times forward earnings estimates, down from 40 a year ago. When the general market takes off, Etsy has what it takes to follow. And that means the valuation we're seeing today represents a great buying opportunity.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":36,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9015749192,"gmtCreate":1649557957049,"gmtModify":1676534530003,"author":{"id":"3559859558754319","authorId":"3559859558754319","name":"Bodoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349218ea2852130ca86ce660b4aa2d59","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559859558754319","authorIdStr":"3559859558754319"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Got to start buying BYD","listText":"Got to start buying BYD","text":"Got to start buying BYD","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":10,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9015749192","repostId":"1148267541","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1148267541","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1649557096,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1148267541?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-10 10:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Bulls And Bears Of The Week: Apple, Twitter, Alcoa, BYD, Ford And This E-commerce Platform","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1148267541","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Federal Reserve policy and the war in Ukraine continued to weigh on investors, leading to a down wee","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Federal Reserve policy and the war in Ukraine continued to weigh on investors, leading to a down week on Wall Street, as all three major indexes ended the week lower.</p><p>The S&amp;P 500 fell by 1.3%, ending a three-week winning streak which was its best performance since November 2020.

One is that its underlying business isn't impacted much by the reason behind the broader plunge.

It&#39;s impossible to know for sure. However, I&#39;ll make a prediction: The following three S&amp;P 500 stocks will at least double in seven years.</p><h2>1. Amazon</h2><p>The larger a company grows, the harder it can be to deliver the same rate of expansion. But that doesn&#39;t mean really big companies can&#39;t grow significantly. I think <b>Amazon</b> has proved this point in the past and will continue to do so.</p><p>When asked about Amazon, the first thoughts of many individuals would probably be about the company&#39;s online shopping platform or its Prime Video streaming service.

CEO Andy Jassy expects &#34;the equation is going to shift and flip&#34; over the next 10 to 15 years with a lot more spending on cloud hosting versus on-premises hosting. If he&#39;s right (and I think he is), Amazon is a no-brainer stock to buy right now.</p><p>AWS already ranks as the biggest cloud-hosting provider. It&#39;s also Amazon&#39;s most profitable segment. The company&#39;s profits should explode by the end of the decade with the transition to the cloud. My confidence level is pretty high that Amazon&#39;s share price will at least double within seven years or less.</p><h2>2. Digital Realty Trust</h2><p><b>Digital Realty Trust</b> isn&#39;t the household name that Amazon is. However, the company should benefit from the same trend that Amazon will.</p><p>Digital Realty Trust owns more than 300 data centers. The transition to the cloud should be a key growth driver for the company.</p><p>A quick glance at Digital Realty Trust&#39;s top customers reveals a Who&#39;s Who in the technology world. A long list of major cloud providers, software specialists, social media companies, and telecommunications giants use Digital Realty Trust&#39;s data centers.</p><p>If you only look at Digital Realty&#39;s stock performance over the last 10 years, you might doubt that it could double by 2030. But it&#39;s important to consider total returns rather than share-price appreciation alone.</p><p>Digital Realty Trust is a real estate investment trust (REIT) and must return at least 90% of its income to shareholders to avoid paying federal taxes. Its dividend yield tops 4.8%. With that high yield, the stock won&#39;t have to deliver huge gains for Digital Realty Trust to generate total returns of 100% or more over the next seven years.</p><h2>3. Vertex Pharmaceuticals</h2><p>I think that <b>Vertex Pharmaceuticals</b> is another S&amp;P 500 stock with a clear path to doubling or more by 2030. The company already enjoys a monopoly in treating the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis (CF).</p><p>Vertex could increase its market by roughly 50% by securing additional approvals and reimbursement deals for its existing CF drugs and by achieving success with its experimental messenger RNA CF therapy VX-522.</p><p>But Vertex has even greater growth opportunities beyond CF. It hopes to win regulatory approvals for exa-cel, a gene-editing therapy developed with <b>CRISPR Therapeutics</b>, as soon as later this year. Exa-cel could generate peak annual sales of at least $2 billion in treating sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia.</p><p>Non-opioid pain drug VX-548 could also make it to market within the next couple of years. Vertex believes that this therapy has multibillion-dollar potential.</p><p>The big biotech is also making good progress in its clinical testing of inaxaplin in treating APOL1-mediated kidney disease (AMKD). There are more patients with AMKD than there are CF patients.</p><p>Vertex could have other major catalysts over the next few years as well, notably from progress with its clinical programs that could hold a cure for type 1 diabetes.</p><p>Biotech stocks face the risk that their pipeline programs could flop in clinical studies or fail to win regulatory approvals. But my view is that Vertex has enough arrows in its quiver that it will be able to double investors&#39; money within the next seven years.</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>Prediction: These 3 S&P 500 Stocks Will at Least Double in 7 Years</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\">\nPrediction: These 3 S&P 500 Stocks Will at Least Double in 7 Years\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-03-06 23:33 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/03/04/prediction-these-3-sp-500-stocks-will-double/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>There's an old joke about a person being asked, \"How many people work in your office?\" The person responds, \"About half of them.\"This punchline comes to mind when I look at the S&P 500.

Vertex PharmaceuticalsI think that Vertex Pharmaceuticals is another S&P 500 stock with a clear path to doubling or more by 2030. The company already enjoys a monopoly in treating the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis (CF).Vertex could increase its market by roughly 50% by securing additional approvals and reimbursement deals for its existing CF drugs and by achieving success with its experimental messenger RNA CF therapy VX-522.But Vertex has even greater growth opportunities beyond CF. It hopes to win regulatory approvals for exa-cel, a gene-editing therapy developed with CRISPR Therapeutics, as soon as later this year. Exa-cel could generate peak annual sales of at least $2 billion in treating sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia.Non-opioid pain drug VX-548 could also make it to market within the next couple of years. Vertex believes that this therapy has multibillion-dollar potential.The big biotech is also making good progress in its clinical testing of inaxaplin in treating APOL1-mediated kidney disease (AMKD). There are more patients with AMKD than there are CF patients.Vertex could have other major catalysts over the next few years as well, notably from progress with its clinical programs that could hold a cure for type 1 diabetes.Biotech stocks face the risk that their pipeline programs could flop in clinical studies or fail to win regulatory approvals. But my view is that Vertex has enough arrows in its quiver that it will be able to double investors' money within the next seven years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":93,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9966632105,"gmtCreate":1669515164607,"gmtModify":1676538203376,"author":{"id":"3559859558754319","authorId":"3559859558754319","name":"Bodoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349218ea2852130ca86ce660b4aa2d59","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559859558754319","authorIdStr":"3559859558754319"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Even if it comes down to 0%, all the costs have already gone up and we'll be living with higher prices","listText":"Even if it comes down to 0%, all the costs have already gone up and we'll be living with higher prices","text":"Even if it comes down to 0%, all the costs have already gone up and we'll be living with higher prices","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9966632105","repostId":"2286418053","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2286418053","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1669522519,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2286418053?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-27 12:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"CPI Inflation Will Come Down: A Look At Walmart, Amazon, Costco And Home Depot","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2286418053","media":"Seekingalpha","summary":"The Wall Street Journal wrote an article in the last 10 days or so noting that both Walmart (WMT) an","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The Wall Street Journal wrote an article in the last 10 days or so noting that both Walmart (WMT) and Amazon (AMZN) will begin pushing back on their suppliers&#39; price hikes, which has forced the big retailers into the unenviable position of using “price” rather than traffic or volume to drive revenue growth since early 2020, given COVID and the various supply chain issues and distortions caused by COVID that have wreaked havoc on the business.</p><p>The WSJ article was eerily reminiscent of Joe Nocera’s article in the New York Times in the early 1990s, where Nocera noted that the one reason inflation likely remained contained in the early 1990s was due to Walmart and its emphasis on “every day low price” or EDLP, not in the literal sense, but from the perspective that the average American probably doesn’t realize the impact Walmart, Amazon, now Costco (COST) and Home Depot (HD), have on retail pricing today, given their size.</p><p>Walmart recently had a good earnings report for its fiscal 3rd quarter ended October ’22, where revenue grew 8.75%, operating income grew 4% and EPS grew 3.5% year-over-year (YoY).

Not being a sell-side analyst it would seem that Costco and Kroger (KR) represent larger competitive threats to Walmart today than Amazon.Agreeing in principle with the Wall Street Journal article, I hope this article provided a little more “analytical flavor” in terms of the numbers (and this article was probably too technical for easy reading), since these 4 retailers represent 6.5% of what was 2021 total GDP of $23 trillion.Typically and historically per what’s been read, once inflation starts to roll over, it tends to continue to fall, so as Walmart and Amazon work through their bloated inventory and supply chain issues, expect more pressure on inflation, and in Walmart’s case especially food inflation.Take everything you read here as one opinion, and with a substantial grain of salt. Hopefully, readers found the content interesting.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":128,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":378150092,"gmtCreate":1619012429416,"gmtModify":1704718274683,"author":{"id":"3559859558754319","authorId":"3559859558754319","name":"Bodoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349218ea2852130ca86ce660b4aa2d59","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3559859558754319","authorIdStr":"3559859558754319"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Back down to $500?!","listText":"Back down to $500?!","text":"Back down to $500?!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/378150092","repostId":"1114709501","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1114709501","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1619012348,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1114709501?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-21 21:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla stock dropped more than 2% in morning trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1114709501","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Tesla stock dropped more than 2% in Wednesday morning trading.The launch of Tesla's super plant in B","content":"<p>Tesla stock&nbsp;dropped&nbsp;more&nbsp;than&nbsp;2%&nbsp;in&nbsp;Wednesday morning trading.The launch of Tesla's super plant in Berlin is likely to be significantly delayed,according to&nbsp;German business daily.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b525edb3c12a6ee6740baf665aa59a9e\" tg-width=\"840\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Previously, Zhengzhou Zhengdong New District Municipal Supervision Bureau ordered Tesla to provide the complete driving data half an hour before the accident unconditionally;

Apple&#39;s FCF yield of 5.1% means the company could theoretically pay a 5.1% dividend yield entirely with FCF, or buy back 5.1% of its own stock per year with cash. That&#39;s a big advantage, because it allows Apple to either use that cash to reinvest in the business or step in and buy its own stock if it is depressed.</p><p>All told, a 22 P/E ratio when the S&amp;P 500&#39;s P/E ratio is 19 seems like a great deal given how powerful Apple&#39;s fundamentals are.</p><h2>Investing like Warren Buffett requires patience</h2><p><b>Lee Samaha (Celanese):</b> The chemical and specialty materials company is going through a difficult period.

Last week the S&amp;P 500 (SPX) rallied ~6%, and the Nasdaq ~8% after the inflation print came in lower than expected at 7.7% YoY or 0.4% MoM. The PPI data should come in lower too, reflecting the symptoms of a slowing economy and weakening consumer spending.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e8830de04b6cb31c02f372c43e213054\" tg-width=\"1275\" tg-height=\"700\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>CPI &amp; PPI YoY Percentage Change (Author Excel with Data from fred.stlouisfed.org)</span></p><p>So far, so unsurprising – not for the market, though. The S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq made the bulk of their gains last week right after the CPI report was published. Markets played the pivot book: The Dollar (DXY) withdrew sharply as Yields collapsed, and assets appreciated. The market priced in a higher probability of relative monetary easing of the Federal Reserve due to lower-than-expected inflation. Naturally, the most interest-rate sensitive assets appreciated the most, hence the outperformance of the Nasdaq. Bitcoin (BTC-USD) rose over 10% on that day. Although that gain has to be taken with a caveat because the CPI print followed the day that FTX went bankrupt and Crypto assets collapsed. Therefore, a rebound seemed natural.</p><p>On Thursday, the Nasdaq (NDX) had its best trading day since April 2020. I don’t believe a new bull market has started, however. Huge upswings and short squeezes are characteristic of bear market rallies. The underlying macroeconomic circumstances have not changed enough to put an end to this bear market. I believe this rally is one of the bigger ones, like the bear market rally starting in June 2022. I believe the market can feed off of big short exposure and the narrative that inflation has finally peaked.</p><p>I also believe inflation has peaked, as I cannot imagine that the economy will be able to healthily operate with the immense burden of the sharply risen cost of capital. The previously raised interest rates start to feed into the economy gradually. As Jerome Powell always reminds us: “Monetary Policy works with long and variable lags.” That counts for monetary easing and monetary tightening. Additionally, the basis effect should help keep the YoY inflation rate comparatively low.</p><p>The financial stress that the economy will have to endure during the first half of 2023 seems too high to be bullish at the current valuation level. While analysts have lowered their expectations for 2023 earnings, they are still around ~$220 for the S&amp;P 500 (0% growth), which currently reflects a P/E FWD of 18x. Given the macroeconomic and geopolitical circumstances I believe that is still way too high.</p><p>In the event of a recession, which is my base case, earnings should fall and not only stay flat for 2023. Assuming the earnings multiple for the S&amp;P 500 goes back to its mean of 16x and earnings depreciate by 10% in 2023 (basically guaranteed if a real recession hits), the fair value of the S&amp;P should be around 3,200 points. Of course, the P/E FWD ratio estimate is only for constructing a framework about where the fair value<i>should</i> be. There are many more factors at play.</p><p>After all, the alternative to equities is an investment in basically risk-free US government bonds, which now have moved into the positive real-rate territory across the yield curve. During the last 20 years, expansive monetary policy has moved even the most risk-averse investors into the equity space. Now that risk-free rates have risen, these risk-averse players are attracted by the risk-free yield, especially when compared to equity premiums. This is why I believe that the current drawdown in equities only accounts for the yield rise and not for earnings depreciation. I make the speculation of largely not being invested while waiting until the other shoe drops, most likely in H1/2023.</p><h2>Searching for historical bottoms</h2><p>Usually, the market is forward-looking and doesn’t reflect the economy. However, historically trying to front-run the pivot didn’t work:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8447327903f174e95c5886662c788efe\" tg-width=\"1278\" tg-height=\"700\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Fed Funds &amp; SP500 (Excel from Author using data from fred.stlouisfed.org)</span></p><p>That’s because of the circumstances of the previous pivot points.</p><p>When the Federal Reserve raised rates during the 2000’s it was because the economy was overheating, and the labor market was tight. While rates were rising, the stock market appreciated because of strong fundamentals (rising GDP). After some time, the monetary tightening worked itself into the economy, and the market fundamentals started to worsen. After a period of plateauing rates, the stock market tumbled, and the Federal Reserve was quick to cut rates. While the Federal Reserve was cutting rates the stock market fell even further. Historically, the bottom of the stock market was in only<i>after</i> the Federal Reserve had already cut rates significantly and the liquidity cycle started to move upwards again.</p><p>In 2022, however, we have a different situation. The Federal Reserve tightened monetary policy, and the stock market depreciated <i>because of it</i>. That fundamental difference exists because of inflation.</p><p>During the last 40 years, the overarching trend of inflation was down. Especially in the last 20 years, global Central Banks struggled to create inflation with loose monetary policy. If the economy and the financial markets start to struggle while there is no concern about material inflation or even fear of deflation, then the playbook of Central Banks becomes very easy: stimulate the economy to raise inflation and decrease unemployment.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/93089c2daa2b2a46fe64342b4a9c84db\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"659\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Taylor-Rule (Author)</span></p><p>According to the Taylor Rule, the Federal Reserve had to lower interest rates (1-h) so often in the past because inflation was below the long-term inflation rate goal,<i>and</i> (1-g) GDP was also below the long-term production potential. Both parts of the formula demanded monetary easing.</p><p>During 2020-2022 the macroeconomic circumstances changed 180 degrees. Because of several shortages, and most importantly massive fiscal stimulus, which was fully financed by expansive monetary policy, demand exploded while goods were scarce. After inflation came in hot quarter after quarter, the Federal Reserve had to raise rates into a falling stock market for the first time in 20+ years.</p><p>Because of the traditionally backward-looking indicators of Central Banks (i.e. unemployment), the economy appeared red hot while inflation was clearly above the 2% target. These two macroeconomic circumstances basically guaranteed monetary tightening. A falling stock market is appreciated by the Federal Reserve because it resembles tightening financial conditions. Tightening financial conditions should decrease inflation and raise unemployment – the goals of the central bank policy during times like these.</p><h2>Trying to time the pivot?</h2><p>We are in a different situation now, though. Inflation is still way above the 2% target. But the slowdown of the global economy is getting more and more clear by the day. And many of the bubbles fueled by monetary excesses [i.e. Meme-Tech-stocks like Peleton (PTON), Palantir (PLTR), Nikola (NKLA), or Crypto (BTC) / (ETH)] have deflated 80-90% from their highs.</p><p>Many investors ask themselves now: If inflation has peaked and the economy is materially slowing down, why not buy the dip in risk assets? Won’t the Fed Put be back after inflation comes down MoM?</p><p>That sounds like an attractive argument. Hence, I believe the current rally could sustain for the remainder of 2022. There are finally positive news for the stock market to rally. Ultimately, however, I believe the current stock price action is nothing more than a rather violent bear market rally because of the following reasons:</p><h3>1. The Federal Reserve wants to make sure that inflation is dealt with</h3><p>During the speculation mania that followed the March 2020 Covid crash, any doubt about valuation levels was quickly dismissed with the “don’t fight the Fed” mantra. And speculators were right back then. If the liquidity cycle makes a big upswing, you don’t want to be caught off guard shorting stocks because of their stretched valuations. Tesla (TSLA) perma bears painfully had to learn that. But the same counts for when the liquidity cycle is in a downturn and investors are recklessly holding on to their overvalued tech stocks. Fighting the Fed in 2022 means staying invested in long-duration, high-growth, high-valuation equities. Just last week, Powell reiterated the Federal Reserve’s stance to tighten policy until something breaks. Powell seemed confident that it would be easier to put the economy into recession and then rescue it after they overtighten financial conditions. After all, nothing kills inflation like a recession.</p><h3>2. Unemployment is too low</h3><p>Without the labor market breaking and unemployment sharply rising, there is no reason for global Central Banks to meaningfully change the direction of their policy to an accommodative level. During the FOMC meeting, Powell made it clear that rates will likely stay higher for longer than the market currently expects. The Federal Reserve has given up on its attempt of engineering a “softish landing”. Inflation becoming entrenched in the economy is their worst fear, and with the low levels of unemployment, the Central Bank doesn’t have to balance its efforts to slow down inflation. Even after the rate hikes are over, quantitative tightening will worsen financial conditions and be a great hurdle for the stock market.</p><p>Some layoffs have already started. To my belief, tech companies will be able to raise productivity by removing some unnecessary workforce from recent years, where revenue growth was highly monetarily valued, but profitability wasn’t. Facebook (FB), Amazon (AMZN), and Twitter (TWTR) have already started. Alphabet (GOOG) and Apple (AAPL) are likely to follow. If high-paid workers lose their steady income stream, they are likely to sell off some of their accumulated assets in order to have a safety cushion to rely upon. It would be typical that this selling coincides with retail capitulation and a final rise in volatility, which usually marks the low of the bear market. I don’t believe we’re at the end yet, but I don’t want to dismiss the rather orderly decline of stock prices in 2022.</p><h3>3. Bad news will be bad news again</h3><p>I think 2023 will be about the labor market and the effects of higher rates for the housing market and less about the Federal Reserve monetary policy. After all, the bulk of the rate hikes are done, and now it is about how long they can stay this elevated. That’s not as interesting for the stock market as hiking 50-75 basis points per month, at least in terms of forward pricing. As seen last week, the current market is still heavily focused on inflation and the resulting change of the Federal Reserve policy. That’s why bad news about an economic slowdown were bullish. Inflation expectations would decrease, and as a function of that, the Federal Reserve was expected to be less tight.</p><p>I don’t expect the Federal Reserve to immediately cut rates if the labor market eases. Because of that consistency and resilience to lower rates, I think that bad news will be bad news again in 2023. The housing market should come under pressure too, as more and more mortgages have to be refinanced. As of now, the illiquidity of the housing market makes it seem somewhat resilient. But I don’t believe that resiliency will hold in 2023 if rates stay elevated.</p><p>Hiking interest rates for fewer percentage points is less bearish but still not bullish, given how elevated rates already are. The liquidity cycle is still in a downturn, albeit less quickly, and Quantitative Tightening still continues linearly. Until now, much of the Quantitative Tightening got neutralized by a rundown of the US Treasury General account:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5ecc783a2e50ff641e9c70d6bfcb9101\" tg-width=\"1169\" tg-height=\"450\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>M2 &amp; US Treasury General Account (fred.stlouisfed.org)</span></p><p>In 2023, the softening impact of decreasing the treasury account in line with Quantitative Easing will still be possible for some time, but not forever. The likelihood of excessive fiscal policy stimulating the economy has decreased too, given the results of the US midterm elections.</p><h3>4. A stock-market rally is bearish</h3><p>Something has to break for the Fed to pivot. If the market reaches previous highs, it only increases the probability that Central banks tighten monetary policy even further. That’s because financial conditions usually ease during stock market rallies. Bond yields usually fall because the market expects accommodative monetary policy, which makes it possible for the Federal Reserve to conduct more Quantitative Tightening because investors buy them, trying to front-run a pivot. To me that seems self-defeating.</p><h2>Summary</h2><p>I believe that in 2023, bad news will be bad news again. Plunging earnings and layoffs will ultimately be bearish for the stock market. The Federal Reserve can only pivot if something breaks. The process of “breaking” usually isn’t bullish for the stock market. Bear markets often end with capitulation, but long-only ETF DCA retail still makes their monthly investments in the S&amp;P 500. Unemployment has to rise to turn these inflows into outflows. Bad news will be bad news, and a rallying stock market will be bearish.</p><p><i>This article is written by Nikolai Galozi for reference only.

Last week the S&P 500 (SPX) rallied ~6%, and the Nasdaq ~8% after the inflation print came in lower than expected at 7.7% YoY or 0.4% MoM. The PPI data should come in lower too, reflecting the symptoms of a slowing economy and weakening consumer spending.CPI & PPI YoY Percentage Change (Author Excel with Data from fred.stlouisfed.org)So far, so unsurprising – not for the market, though. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq made the bulk of their gains last week right after the CPI report was published. Markets played the pivot book: The Dollar (DXY) withdrew sharply as Yields collapsed, and assets appreciated. The market priced in a higher probability of relative monetary easing of the Federal Reserve due to lower-than-expected inflation. Naturally, the most interest-rate sensitive assets appreciated the most, hence the outperformance of the Nasdaq. Bitcoin (BTC-USD) rose over 10% on that day. Although that gain has to be taken with a caveat because the CPI print followed the day that FTX went bankrupt and Crypto assets collapsed. Therefore, a rebound seemed natural.On Thursday, the Nasdaq (NDX) had its best trading day since April 2020. I don’t believe a new bull market has started, however. Huge upswings and short squeezes are characteristic of bear market rallies. The underlying macroeconomic circumstances have not changed enough to put an end to this bear market. I believe this rally is one of the bigger ones, like the bear market rally starting in June 2022. I believe the market can feed off of big short exposure and the narrative that inflation has finally peaked.I also believe inflation has peaked, as I cannot imagine that the economy will be able to healthily operate with the immense burden of the sharply risen cost of capital. The previously raised interest rates start to feed into the economy gradually. As Jerome Powell always reminds us: “Monetary Policy works with long and variable lags.” That counts for monetary easing and monetary tightening. Additionally, the basis effect should help keep the YoY inflation rate comparatively low.The financial stress that the economy will have to endure during the first half of 2023 seems too high to be bullish at the current valuation level. While analysts have lowered their expectations for 2023 earnings, they are still around ~$220 for the S&P 500 (0% growth), which currently reflects a P/E FWD of 18x. Given the macroeconomic and geopolitical circumstances I believe that is still way too high.In the event of a recession, which is my base case, earnings should fall and not only stay flat for 2023. Assuming the earnings multiple for the S&P 500 goes back to its mean of 16x and earnings depreciate by 10% in 2023 (basically guaranteed if a real recession hits), the fair value of the S&P should be around 3,200 points. Of course, the P/E FWD ratio estimate is only for constructing a framework about where the fair valueshould be. There are many more factors at play.After all, the alternative to equities is an investment in basically risk-free US government bonds, which now have moved into the positive real-rate territory across the yield curve. During the last 20 years, expansive monetary policy has moved even the most risk-averse investors into the equity space. Now that risk-free rates have risen, these risk-averse players are attracted by the risk-free yield, especially when compared to equity premiums. This is why I believe that the current drawdown in equities only accounts for the yield rise and not for earnings depreciation. I make the speculation of largely not being invested while waiting until the other shoe drops, most likely in H1/2023.Searching for historical bottomsUsually, the market is forward-looking and doesn’t reflect the economy. However, historically trying to front-run the pivot didn’t work:Fed Funds & SP500 (Excel from Author using data from fred.stlouisfed.org)That’s because of the circumstances of the previous pivot points.When the Federal Reserve raised rates during the 2000’s it was because the economy was overheating, and the labor market was tight. While rates were rising, the stock market appreciated because of strong fundamentals (rising GDP). After some time, the monetary tightening worked itself into the economy, and the market fundamentals started to worsen. After a period of plateauing rates, the stock market tumbled, and the Federal Reserve was quick to cut rates. While the Federal Reserve was cutting rates the stock market fell even further. Historically, the bottom of the stock market was in onlyafter the Federal Reserve had already cut rates significantly and the liquidity cycle started to move upwards again.In 2022, however, we have a different situation. The Federal Reserve tightened monetary policy, and the stock market depreciated because of it. That fundamental difference exists because of inflation.During the last 40 years, the overarching trend of inflation was down. Especially in the last 20 years, global Central Banks struggled to create inflation with loose monetary policy. If the economy and the financial markets start to struggle while there is no concern about material inflation or even fear of deflation, then the playbook of Central Banks becomes very easy: stimulate the economy to raise inflation and decrease unemployment.Taylor-Rule (Author)According to the Taylor Rule, the Federal Reserve had to lower interest rates (1-h) so often in the past because inflation was below the long-term inflation rate goal,and (1-g) GDP was also below the long-term production potential. Both parts of the formula demanded monetary easing.During 2020-2022 the macroeconomic circumstances changed 180 degrees. Because of several shortages, and most importantly massive fiscal stimulus, which was fully financed by expansive monetary policy, demand exploded while goods were scarce. After inflation came in hot quarter after quarter, the Federal Reserve had to raise rates into a falling stock market for the first time in 20+ years.Because of the traditionally backward-looking indicators of Central Banks (i.e. unemployment), the economy appeared red hot while inflation was clearly above the 2% target. These two macroeconomic circumstances basically guaranteed monetary tightening. A falling stock market is appreciated by the Federal Reserve because it resembles tightening financial conditions. Tightening financial conditions should decrease inflation and raise unemployment – the goals of the central bank policy during times like these.Trying to time the pivot?We are in a different situation now, though. Inflation is still way above the 2% target. But the slowdown of the global economy is getting more and more clear by the day. And many of the bubbles fueled by monetary excesses [i.e. Meme-Tech-stocks like Peleton (PTON), Palantir (PLTR), Nikola (NKLA), or Crypto (BTC) / (ETH)] have deflated 80-90% from their highs.Many investors ask themselves now: If inflation has peaked and the economy is materially slowing down, why not buy the dip in risk assets? Won’t the Fed Put be back after inflation comes down MoM?That sounds like an attractive argument. Hence, I believe the current rally could sustain for the remainder of 2022. There are finally positive news for the stock market to rally. Ultimately, however, I believe the current stock price action is nothing more than a rather violent bear market rally because of the following reasons:1.

Fighting the Fed in 2022 means staying invested in long-duration, high-growth, high-valuation equities.

Powell seemed confident that it would be easier to put the economy into recession and then rescue it after they overtighten financial conditions.
