It was formed in 2008 when the two largest satellite radio providers merged, Sirius and XM. The company provides 400 channels, where you can listen to ad-free music, talk shows, and live play-by-play sports coverage of all major sports leagues. The channel<span> offers exclusive content for your car system, phone, and computer. The content requires a subscription service and to keep up with the times, SIRI is investing in streaming, a non-linear format that is very popular nowadays with the younger generation. The company's streaming app just started rolling out in December of last year and is gaining traction and its Pandora streaming service is losing market share to the big streaming platforms like Spotify (</span>SPOT<span>), Apple Music (</span>AAPL<span>), and YouTube Music (</span>GOOG<span>).</span></p> <h2><strong>Financials</strong></h2> <p>As of FY23, the company had around $216m in cash and equivalents against a whopping $8.7B in long-term debt. That's a decent amount of debt, however, is it something to worry about? I like to look at a few solvency metrics to help me decide whether the company is overindulging on leverage.</p> <p>First, the company's debt-to-assets ratio is a little on the higher side as of FY23. It is at around 0.9, and I prefer a maximum of 0.6, so it seems it is a bit on the higher end of risk here. The second metric I like to examine is the company's debt-to-equity ratio. The company has accumulated a shareholder deficit for almost a decade now, so this metric is negative, which doesn't mean that the company is at any risk of bankruptcy. It certainly would be if the company was not good at making cash, which it is in this case, so I won't put too much weight on negative D/E. Lastly, I like to look at the company's ability to meet its debt obligation, in the form of being able to pay the annual interest expense. Here, I look for an interest coverage ratio of at least 5x, but many analysts tend to agree that a ratio of just 2x is sufficient. I like to be more conservative and prefer a 5x because it allows for bad years of performance when EBIT drops significantly y/y, but if the coverage ratio is at 5x, then bad years shouldn't affect the ability to pay the annual interest expense. The ratio at the end of FY23 stood at around 4.8, so doesn't seem to have trouble paying its obligations. Furthermore, its cash from operations has been at around $2B, so that is a good cushion in my opinion.</p> <p>The company's current ratio is not the best.

This mixed bag will demand a higher discount on the company's valuation model.</p> <h2><strong>Comments on the Outlook</strong></h2> <p>So, we don't know how long the company is going to survive in such a competitive market. The company needs to compete with juggernauts like the aforementioned Big Three for people's ears and it is not going to be easy. The audience is getting younger and more tech-savvy, which means everything needs to be advanced, and most will be using their phones to stream whatever they want to listen to. I'm not saying that there is no place for satellite radio in this world anymore, but it is getting harder and harder to maintain the market share. People in metropolitan areas are most likely will be using the streaming services that they must have been paying for years now. I've been using Spotify Premium since 2012 and I don't see this changing any time soon. Every time I am in my car, I connect to my Spotify account, and the only time that would fail is if I am on a long road trip where a network connection is non-existent. And even then, I had a large library of podcasts or albums downloaded because the radio stations were no good in my opinion. Many places are more rural and satellite radio comes in handy, so SIRI may maintain that niche until there is much better connectivity all around the globe, but the continual investment in satellites tells me that the company is still very positive about its future.</p> <p>The company's efforts of rebranding to appeal to the younger audiences are still in their very early stages and will need to prove it is going to take the market share away from the mentioned streaming giants, however, that is the initiative I like to see from a company that could have become extinct if it stays where it is. In my opinion, the streaming app is the only one that will matter in the end, and what sets SIRI apart from the other streaming platforms is the focus on the in-house production of shows. New shows with celebrities like John Mayer have done extremely well, as well as the world of podcasts is getting very popular globally, so I believe that further focus on this type of content will attract a certain group of people, a niche, that will be sustainable and profitable, but that is just my view on where the company should go because I don't think it is going to be easy to compete against the more established music streaming platforms out there. On top of that Spotify's extensive podcast library is also one big obstacle that SIRI needs to overcome if the company is going to go the route of original content creation. I don't believe listeners are quick to change which platform to use. I currently have YouTube Premium and yet I do not use YouTube Music as the app is just not what I'm used to. The time and effort put into the customization of my subscription on Spotify is too great even if another platform might be cheaper overall. I don't think I'm the only one on this. So, that is going to be a big challenge to overcome if SIRI is going to take market share away from established players like SPOT. Some services help with bringing your playlists across to other platforms, but I don't think they help with the customization that your current platform offers you via learning what you like to listen to and recommend something new to discover.</p> <p>In short, I may be biased, but the company will have to prove it can return to growth with its new streaming initiative to stay relevant and a strong competitor to the more established music streaming platforms that already take so much of people's listening time.</p> <p>The company's streaming platform Pandora has been very popular in the past and still boasts quite a lot of subscribers, however, according to Statista, which projected that the number of active users will fall to around 49m by '23, we can see from the report here that the number of active users is around 46m, so the company is losing users at a higher pace than originally modeled. By comparison, Spotify was projected to have around 100m active users by ´23 but ended up having around 114m.</p> <h2><strong>Valuation</strong></h2> <p>As I mentioned earlier, analysts aren't expecting much growth, which makes sense. They can't hope that the new growth initiatives will work out great, we need to see proof before assigning higher top-line growth estimates. Therefore, I went with around 1% CAGR over the next decade for the base case. To give myself a range of possible outcomes, I also modeled a more optimistic case and a more conservative case. Below are those estimates and their respective CAGRs.</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/2/21/48589448-17085346652932022.png\"/></span></picture><figcaption><p>Revenue Assumptions (Author)</p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>In terms of margins and EPS, I went with conservative numbers too.

With that said, SIRI's intrinsic value is around $3 a share, which means it is quite overvalued in my opinion, and would not be a good time to start a position right now.</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/2/21/48589448-17085346662941933.png\"/></span></picture><figcaption><p>Intrinsic Value (Author)</p></figcaption></figure></p> <h2><strong>Closing Comments</strong></h2> <p>From the perspective of a person who has no capital committed to the company, it is not a good time to start any position, therefore, I am assigning a hold rating, until it drops to around 3 bucks or the company is part of the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LFG.AU\">Liberty</a> Media Group already, as that company seems to be a better deal, with many analysts confirming it.

Briefly on the Company Sirius XM is a provider of satellite and online radio in the US and Canada. It was formed in 2008 when the two largest satellite radio providers merged, Sirius and XM. The company provides 400 channels, where you can listen to ad-free music, talk shows, and live play-by-play sports coverage of all major sports leagues. The channel offers exclusive content for your car system, phone, and computer. The content requires a subscription service and to keep up with the times, SIRI is investing in streaming, a non-linear format that is very popular nowadays with the younger generation. The company's streaming app just started rolling out in December of last year and is gaining traction and its Pandora streaming service is losing market share to the big streaming platforms like Spotify (SPOT), Apple Music (AAPL), and YouTube Music (GOOG). Financials As of FY23, the company had around $216m in cash and equivalents against a whopping $8.7B in long-term debt. That's a decent amount of debt, however, is it something to worry about? I like to look at a few solvency metrics to help me decide whether the company is overindulging on leverage. First, the company's debt-to-assets ratio is a little on the higher side as of FY23. It is at around 0.9, and I prefer a maximum of 0.6, so it seems it is a bit on the higher end of risk here. The second metric I like to examine is the company's debt-to-equity ratio. The company has accumulated a shareholder deficit for almost a decade now, so this metric is negative, which doesn't mean that the company is at any risk of bankruptcy. It certainly would be if the company was not good at making cash, which it is in this case, so I won't put too much weight on negative D/E. Lastly, I like to look at the company's ability to meet its debt obligation, in the form of being able to pay the annual interest expense. Here, I look for an interest coverage ratio of at least 5x, but many analysts tend to agree that a ratio of just 2x is sufficient. I like to be more conservative and prefer a 5x because it allows for bad years of performance when EBIT drops significantly y/y, but if the coverage ratio is at 5x, then bad years shouldn't affect the ability to pay the annual interest expense. The ratio at the end of FY23 stood at around 4.8, so doesn't seem to have trouble paying its obligations. Furthermore, its cash from operations has been at around $2B, so that is a good cushion in my opinion. The company's current ratio is not the best. It has been operating with a current ratio of 0.3 for at least the last 5 years, so it may not be of any risk, because it's been like this for a while, and about half of those current liabilities are deferred revenues, which is revenue that is received but because of the company's subscription-based nature, not recognized as such because the subscriptions are annual usually. Current Ratio (Author) So far, in terms of liquidity and solvency, it's not looking particularly great, which means I will be aiming for a higher margin of safety when it comes to its valuation in the later section. Now, let's look at the company's efficiency and profitability in more detail. SIRI's GAAP margins have been relatively stable, with gross margins seeing a slight decrease over the last couple of years, while EBIT and net margins have performed better. It looks like the company is maintaining its efficiency relatively well, which is better than a declining trend. Margins (Author) Looking further at efficiency, the company's return on assets has been decent also throughout the years, hovering at around 12% and well above my minimum of 5%. It seems that the management is good at utilizing the company's assets. Furthermore, the company's return on total capital measures how well the management is allocating total capital to profitable projects. In other words, measures the company's profitability. I usually look for at least 10%, which tells me that the company has a strong moat and a competitive advantage. SIRI's ROTC stood at around 19% as of FY23, which is impressive. No point in comparing the company's ROTC to competitors since SIRI is the only major satellite radio provider out there right now. ROTC and ROA (SA) In terms of revenues, SIRI has done decently in the past, but ever since the competition of people's ears came out in the form of streaming with the likes of Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music, the growth has slowed down considerably, and it doesn't look like it'll be coming back anytime soon. Analysts are expecting around 1%-2% growth going forward, with -2% for FY24. The company needs to come up with some initiatives that would invigorate its top line. Revenue is stagnating (Author) Overall, the financials are somewhat of a mixed bag. The high debt figures balanced out with great cash flow and decent margins, but no growth in revenues. This mixed bag will demand a higher discount on the company's valuation model. Comments on the Outlook So, we don't know how long the company is going to survive in such a competitive market. The company needs to compete with juggernauts like the aforementioned Big Three for people's ears and it is not going to be easy. The audience is getting younger and more tech-savvy, which means everything needs to be advanced, and most will be using their phones to stream whatever they want to listen to. I'm not saying that there is no place for satellite radio in this world anymore, but it is getting harder and harder to maintain the market share. People in metropolitan areas are most likely will be using the streaming services that they must have been paying for years now. I've been using Spotify Premium since 2012 and I don't see this changing any time soon. Every time I am in my car, I connect to my Spotify account, and the only time that would fail is if I am on a long road trip where a network connection is non-existent. And even then, I had a large library of podcasts or albums downloaded because the radio stations were no good in my opinion. Many places are more rural and satellite radio comes in handy, so SIRI may maintain that niche until there is much better connectivity all around the globe, but the continual investment in satellites tells me that the company is still very positive about its future. The company's efforts of rebranding to appeal to the younger audiences are still in their very early stages and will need to prove it is going to take the market share away from the mentioned streaming giants, however, that is the initiative I like to see from a company that could have become extinct if it stays where it is. In my opinion, the streaming app is the only one that will matter in the end, and what sets SIRI apart from the other streaming platforms is the focus on the in-house production of shows. New shows with celebrities like John Mayer have done extremely well, as well as the world of podcasts is getting very popular globally, so I believe that further focus on this type of content will attract a certain group of people, a niche, that will be sustainable and profitable, but that is just my view on where the company should go because I don't think it is going to be easy to compete against the more established music streaming platforms out there. On top of that Spotify's extensive podcast library is also one big obstacle that SIRI needs to overcome if the company is going to go the route of original content creation. I don't believe listeners are quick to change which platform to use. I currently have YouTube Premium and yet I do not use YouTube Music as the app is just not what I'm used to. The time and effort put into the customization of my subscription on Spotify is too great even if another platform might be cheaper overall. I don't think I'm the only one on this. So, that is going to be a big challenge to overcome if SIRI is going to take market share away from established players like SPOT. Some services help with bringing your playlists across to other platforms, but I don't think they help with the customization that your current platform offers you via learning what you like to listen to and recommend something new to discover. In short, I may be biased, but the company will have to prove it can return to growth with its new streaming initiative to stay relevant and a strong competitor to the more established music streaming platforms that already take so much of people's listening time. The company's streaming platform Pandora has been very popular in the past and still boasts quite a lot of subscribers, however, according to Statista, which projected that the number of active users will fall to around 49m by '23, we can see from the report here that the number of active users is around 46m, so the company is losing users at a higher pace than originally modeled. By comparison, Spotify was projected to have around 100m active users by ´23 but ended up having around 114m. Valuation As I mentioned earlier, analysts aren't expecting much growth, which makes sense. They can't hope that the new growth initiatives will work out great, we need to see proof before assigning higher top-line growth estimates. Therefore, I went with around 1% CAGR over the next decade for the base case. To give myself a range of possible outcomes, I also modeled a more optimistic case and a more conservative case. Below are those estimates and their respective CAGRs. Revenue Assumptions (Author) In terms of margins and EPS, I went with conservative numbers too. Gross margins will see an improvement of around 200bps over the next decade, which I think is achievable. EPS will grow at around 2% on average just to be on the safer side, which will provide me with more room for error, and will act as more margin of safety. Below are those estimates.

With that said, SIRI's intrinsic value is around $3 a share, which means it is quite overvalued in my opinion, and would not be a good time to start a position right now. Intrinsic Value (Author) Closing Comments From the perspective of a person who has no capital committed to the company, it is not a good time to start any position, therefore, I am assigning a hold rating, until it drops to around 3 bucks or the company is part of the Liberty Media Group already, as that company seems to be a better deal, with many analysts confirming it. I have not looked at the other company in detail, but all three ratings suggest either a buy or a strong buy. The company's share price has seen a lot of volatility and has underperformed in general.

The unique content that the company offers is appealing and could pivot itself more toward that niche of podcasts and more original content, but that content truly has to be unique and the only place top find it would on this platform.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":39,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":270107462983800,"gmtCreate":1706953335933,"gmtModify":1706953339932,"author":{"id":"3560400579582064","authorId":"3560400579582064","name":"Dirsett","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"&nbsp; &nbsp;Bc c t😲🥱🇰🇳，","listText":"&nbsp; &nbsp;Bc c t😲🥱🇰🇳，","text":"Bc c t😲🥱🇰🇳，","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/270107462983800","repostId":"1160574120","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1160574120","pubTimestamp":1706950851,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1160574120?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2024-02-03 17:00","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Wee Cho Yaw, Who Shaped Singapore Bank Industry, Dies","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1160574120","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Wee was ex-chairman of Singapore’s United Overseas BankThe billionaire’s holdings also include numerous propertiesWee Cho Yaw in 2016.Photographer: Kua Chee Siong/Singapore Press/AP ImagesWee Cho Yaw,","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Wee was ex-chairman of Singapore’s United Overseas Bank</p></li><li><p>The billionaire’s holdings also include numerous properties</p></li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/802c953e211e0096f9bdf0ff28898087\" alt=\"Wee Cho Yaw in 2016.Photographer: Kua Chee Siong/Singapore Press/AP Images\" title=\"Wee Cho Yaw in 2016.Photographer: Kua Chee Siong/Singapore Press/AP Images\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1358\"/><span>Wee Cho Yaw in 2016.Photographer: Kua Chee Siong/Singapore Press/AP Images</span></p><p>Wee Cho Yaw, the billionaire who shaped Singapore’s financial landscape by amalgamating several old family-controlled banks, has died.

There&#39;s too much risk in putting all of your money into just one stock, as there&#39;s always a chance something could go wrong. However, pinpointing stocks that can provide market-beating returns can accelerate your path to becoming a millionaire, which is where <strong>Alphabet </strong>comes in.</p><p>Alphabet has been a long-term market beater, but can it keep doing it? Let&#39;s find out.</p><h2 id=\"id_4197141732\">Alphabet has several promising segments</h2><p>Alphabet is a wide-ranging business, with the Google ecosystem, YouTube, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Android operating system all to its name. It has multiple growth opportunities, but most are centered on advertising.</p><p>In Q3, nearly 80% of Alphabet&#39;s revenue came from advertising. However, this segment will undergo a major reorganization to drive further AI usage and increase efficiency.</p><p>Alphabet recently released its Gemini generative AI model, which beats its competition, including OpenAI&#39;s GPT-4, in nearly all benchmark tests. Furthermore, Gemini was the first model to beat human experts in the massive multitask language understanding test, showcasing its prowess. While this technology isn&#39;t monetized yet, Alphabet will find multiple ways to integrate it over the next few years.</p><p>Another exciting segment for Alphabet is its cloud computing wing. Although Google Cloud currently holds a third-place market share of 11%, the total market opportunity for this technology is expected to grow to $1.55 trillion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. Google Cloud&#39;s Q3 revenue was $8.4 billion, so it still has a massive growth runway.</p><p>Alphabet has many products that are steadily growing, making it a great long-term investment.</p><p>But what kind of growth can investors expect?</p><h2 id=\"id_444856758\">Alphabet has the makings of a market-crushing stock</h2><p>Besides a period of massive growth during 2021, Alphabet steadily grew its revenue at a fairly consistent mid-teens pace. However, it has been slower lately because the advertising market took a downturn in late 2022 and early 2023. With the ad market recovering, analysts project Alphabet to grow at about 12% next quarter.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e5345d3ab77f9e332bacd3af8abe7719\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"451\"/></p><p>GOOGL Revenue (Quarterly YoY Growth) data by YCharts</p><p>Furthermore, Alphabet has massive growth ahead with its cloud computing and AI products, giving its steady advertising business a much-needed growth boost.</p><p>So with that expectation alone, Alphabet should be a market-beating investment. However, Alphabet has also been steadily increasing its operating margin through reorganizations and eliminating unprofitable programs. While Alphabet is far from completing this task, the results have been promising. </p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cd6cb66a6cb2c9f9e936b970849b715\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"451\"/></p><p>GOOGL Operating Margin (TTM) data by YCharts</p><p>The improvement in operating margin will allow Alphabet to produce more earnings, which will in turn increase the stock price.</p><p>Lastly, Alphabet consistently repurchased about $15 billion in its stock each quarter for the past two years. After accounting for stock-based compensation, Alphabet decreased its outstanding shares by around 2.6%. By reducing the outstanding shares, Alphabet can boost its earnings-per-share metric, commonly used to value mature companies like Alphabet.</p><p>With a low- to mid-teens growth, improving margins, and share buybacks, you have a recipe for a stock that can grow consistently in the mid-teens. Few stocks can do that over the long term, which is why Alphabet is one of my top stocks to buy right now and hold forever.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

There's too much risk in putting all of your money into just one stock, as there's always a chance something could go wrong. However, pinpointing stocks that can provide market-beating returns can accelerate your path to becoming a millionaire, which is where Alphabet comes in.Alphabet has been a long-term market beater, but can it keep doing it? Let's find out.Alphabet has several promising segmentsAlphabet is a wide-ranging business, with the Google ecosystem, YouTube, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Android operating system all to its name. It has multiple growth opportunities, but most are centered on advertising.In Q3, nearly 80% of Alphabet's revenue came from advertising. However, this segment will undergo a major reorganization to drive further AI usage and increase efficiency.Alphabet recently released its Gemini generative AI model, which beats its competition, including OpenAI's GPT-4, in nearly all benchmark tests. Furthermore, Gemini was the first model to beat human experts in the massive multitask language understanding test, showcasing its prowess. While this technology isn't monetized yet, Alphabet will find multiple ways to integrate it over the next few years.Another exciting segment for Alphabet is its cloud computing wing. Although Google Cloud currently holds a third-place market share of 11%, the total market opportunity for this technology is expected to grow to $1.55 trillion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. Google Cloud's Q3 revenue was $8.4 billion, so it still has a massive growth runway.Alphabet has many products that are steadily growing, making it a great long-term investment.But what kind of growth can investors expect?Alphabet has the makings of a market-crushing stockBesides a period of massive growth during 2021, Alphabet steadily grew its revenue at a fairly consistent mid-teens pace. However, it has been slower lately because the advertising market took a downturn in late 2022 and early 2023. With the ad market recovering, analysts project Alphabet to grow at about 12% next quarter.GOOGL Revenue (Quarterly YoY Growth) data by YChartsFurthermore, Alphabet has massive growth ahead with its cloud computing and AI products, giving its steady advertising business a much-needed growth boost.So with that expectation alone, Alphabet should be a market-beating investment. However, Alphabet has also been steadily increasing its operating margin through reorganizations and eliminating unprofitable programs. While Alphabet is far from completing this task, the results have been promising. GOOGL Operating Margin (TTM) data by YChartsThe improvement in operating margin will allow Alphabet to produce more earnings, which will in turn increase the stock price.Lastly, Alphabet consistently repurchased about $15 billion in its stock each quarter for the past two years. After accounting for stock-based compensation, Alphabet decreased its outstanding shares by around 2.6%. By reducing the outstanding shares, Alphabet can boost its earnings-per-share metric, commonly used to value mature companies like Alphabet.With a low- to mid-teens growth, improving margins, and share buybacks, you have a recipe for a stock that can grow consistently in the mid-teens. Few stocks can do that over the long term, which is why Alphabet is one of my top stocks to buy right now and hold forever.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":128,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":255810217832520,"gmtCreate":1703467159635,"gmtModify":1703467164938,"author":{"id":"3560400579582064","authorId":"3560400579582064","name":"Dirsett","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Share your opinion about this news…","listText":"Share your opinion about this news…","text":"Share your opinion about this news…","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/255810217832520","repostId":"2394284951","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":95,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9946678898,"gmtCreate":1680961272015,"gmtModify":1680961276336,"author":{"id":"3560400579582064","authorId":"3560400579582064","name":"Dirsett","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Share your opinion about this news…","listText":"Share your opinion about this news…","text":"Share your opinion about this news…","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9946678898","repostId":"1199831911","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":114,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9948377054,"gmtCreate":1680638513979,"gmtModify":1680643954268,"author":{"id":"3560400579582064","authorId":"3560400579582064","name":"Dirsett","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/UPRO 20230406 39.0 CALL\">$UPRO 20230406 39.0 CALL$&nbsp;</a>","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/UPRO 20230406 39.0 CALL\">$UPRO 20230406 39.0 CALL$&nbsp;</a>","text":"$UPRO 20230406 39.0 CALL$","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9948377054","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":261,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9952414711,"gmtCreate":1674873778234,"gmtModify":1676538964233,"author":{"id":"3560400579582064","authorId":"3560400579582064","name":"Dirsett","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"It is reliable to use Golden Cross as guidance. from here &nbsp;buy&nbsp;consistently as market drop.

Of the 50 stocks Buffett owns, only 10 stocks gained in value last year. In the third quarter alone, Berkshire Hathaway lost $10.1 billion on its investments in equities.</p><p>Yet gains or losses on investments in any given quarter are meaningless, as Buffett&#39;s track record as a stock picker in the long term is hard to rival. That explains why investors often look at the legendary-investor&#39;s portfolio for stock ideas. Right now, among the several stocks Berkshire Hathaway holds, here are the three best, no-brainer Buffett stocks to buy for 2023.</p><h2>One oil stock Buffett absolutely loves</h2><p>The first Buffett stock to buy for 2023 is also one the Oracle of Omaha bought hand over fist in 2022: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OXY\">Occidental Petroleum</a>.</p><p>Although Buffett already owned preferred stocks and warrants in Occidental, he disclosed a position in its common stock for the first time in March 2</p><p>The first Buffett stock to buy for 2023 is also one the Oracle of Omaha bought hand over fist in 20022. There&#39;s been no stopping Buffett since then.</p><p>Occidental stock is now among Berkshire&#39;s 10 largest holdings, and Buffett has even obtained regulatory approval to buy up to a 50% stake in the oil and gas producer. That means he could continue to buy shares in Occidental in 2023, and <i>that</i> could be one of the biggest catalysts for the oil stock&#39;s price this year.</p><p>As an upstream oil company, Occidental is also perfectly poised to rally if crude oil prices rise this year. On the flip side, even if oil prices fall, Occidental should still deliver value to shareholders, as it also runs midstream and chemicals businesses, is flush with cash, and has a much stronger balance sheet now after repaying debt worth a whopping $9.6 billion in 2022 through Nov. 7.</p><p>A solid cash-flow profile also means Occidental should increase its dividend per share yet again in 2023. In fact, the company says it should be able to increase dividends even if West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil plunges to $40 per barrel. Although Occidental may not increase its annual dividend payout as much as it did in 2022 -- 1,200%, at that -- it&#39;s a company that&#39;s committed to paying you more. That&#39;s a very Buffett thing to own right now.</p><h2>The steadfast stock Buffett can&#39;t let go of</h2><p>The second Buffett stock you may want to buy right now is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MA\">Mastercard</a>. The payment processor has performed exceptionally well over the years and looks poised to stick with the trend.</p><p>Mastercard is currently on solid footing. During the nine months that ended Sept. 30, 2022, the company grew its net revenue by 20% and net income by 17% year over year. Mastercard generated a solid operating margin of 55% during the period, and that&#39;s pretty consistent with what the company has generated for years.</p><p>Payment processing is an asset-light, high-margin business with no credit risk since companies don&#39;t lend but earn a fee on every transaction processed on their network, and that&#39;s visible in Mastercard&#39;s numbers. The company had 3 billion Mastercard and Maestro-branded cards issued globally, as of Sept. 30.</p><p>One thing that could hugely work in the company&#39;s favor this year and beyond is its international exposure, which is larger than that of its arch-rival <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a></b>. With a majority of global transactions still cash-driven, there&#39;s a massive market outside the U.S. for Mastercard to capture.</p><p>Also, in the context of where things stand now, greater international exposure could help drive growth for Mastercard, even if the U.S. economy slows down. Management&#39;s views on this are something investors may want to watch out for when the company holds its quarterly earnings conference call on Jan. 26.</p><p>In any case, Mastercard has navigated all kinds of business cycles over the decades, so investors shouldn&#39;t have to worry about how the company will fare if there&#39;s a recession. Right now, it&#39;s on track to report solid numbers for 2022 and grow steadily in 2023, making it a no-brainer Buffett stock to buy.</p><h2>This Buffett stock is about to make a huge move</h2><p>If you believe a recession is upon us, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JNJ\">Johnson &amp; Johnson</a> is one steadfast Buffett stock you&#39;ll want to consider buying for 2023, especially with its upcoming spin-off.</p><p>Johnson &amp; Johnson will spin off its consumer health products division into a new company called Kenvue this year as it wants to focus more on healthcare -- specifically, pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Although its consumer business owns some of the best-known brands including Neutrogena, Band-Aid, and Tylenol, it has also been a slow-growth business. Johnson &amp; Johnson believes separating the two businesses will allow it to focus and invest in higher-growth areas, and therefore unlock greater value for shareholders.</p><p>There&#39;s merit to this argument. In the first nine months of 2022, for example, its consumer health division -- which made up roughly 16% of Johnson &amp; Johnson&#39;s overall sales -- reported operational growth (excluding the impact of foreign-currency fluctuations) of only 2.6% year over year. Pharmaceutical and MedTech (formerly known as medical devices) segments, meanwhile, reported a respective 10% and 6.6% operational growth in sales.</p><p>The company has big plans. It&#39;s targeting higher-than-average growth for its pharmaceutical business and expects to generate $60 billion in revenue by 2025. This comes despite the loss of sales from Stelara, its blockbuster drug with a main patent expiring in 2023 in the U.S. and 2024 in the European Union. In MedTech, Johnson &amp; Johnson just acquired Abiomed to expand cardiovascular offerings.</p><p>Johnson &amp; Johnson also has a solid balance sheet and is a Dividend King, with an unbeatable 60-year track record of consecutive annual dividend increases. While the company will provide its outlook and growth plans for 2023 on Jan. 24 when it releases its fourth-quarter numbers, you shouldn&#39;t have to wait to buy this 2.6%-yielding Buffett stock.</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>3 No-Brainer Warren Buffett Stocks to Load Up On for 2023</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\">\n3 No-Brainer Warren Buffett Stocks to Load Up On for 2023\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-01-21 14:08 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/01/20/3-no-brainer-warren-buffett-stocks-buy-for-2023/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway couldn't escape the stock market's wrath in 2022.

Right now, among the several stocks Berkshire Hathaway holds, here are the three best, no-brainer Buffett stocks to buy for 2023.One oil stock Buffett absolutely lovesThe first Buffett stock to buy for 2023 is also one the Oracle of Omaha bought hand over fist in 2022: Occidental Petroleum.Although Buffett already owned preferred stocks and warrants in Occidental, he disclosed a position in its common stock for the first time in March 2The first Buffett stock to buy for 2023 is also one the Oracle of Omaha bought hand over fist in 20022. There's been no stopping Buffett since then.Occidental stock is now among Berkshire's 10 largest holdings, and Buffett has even obtained regulatory approval to buy up to a 50% stake in the oil and gas producer. That means he could continue to buy shares in Occidental in 2023, and that could be one of the biggest catalysts for the oil stock's price this year.As an upstream oil company, Occidental is also perfectly poised to rally if crude oil prices rise this year. On the flip side, even if oil prices fall, Occidental should still deliver value to shareholders, as it also runs midstream and chemicals businesses, is flush with cash, and has a much stronger balance sheet now after repaying debt worth a whopping $9.6 billion in 2022 through Nov. 7.A solid cash-flow profile also means Occidental should increase its dividend per share yet again in 2023. In fact, the company says it should be able to increase dividends even if West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil plunges to $40 per barrel. Although Occidental may not increase its annual dividend payout as much as it did in 2022 -- 1,200%, at that -- it's a company that's committed to paying you more. That's a very Buffett thing to own right now.The steadfast stock Buffett can't let go ofThe second Buffett stock you may want to buy right now is Mastercard. The payment processor has performed exceptionally well over the years and looks poised to stick with the trend.Mastercard is currently on solid footing. During the nine months that ended Sept. 30, 2022, the company grew its net revenue by 20% and net income by 17% year over year. Mastercard generated a solid operating margin of 55% during the period, and that's pretty consistent with what the company has generated for years.Payment processing is an asset-light, high-margin business with no credit risk since companies don't lend but earn a fee on every transaction processed on their network, and that's visible in Mastercard's numbers. The company had 3 billion Mastercard and Maestro-branded cards issued globally, as of Sept. 30.One thing that could hugely work in the company's favor this year and beyond is its international exposure, which is larger than that of its arch-rival Visa. With a majority of global transactions still cash-driven, there's a massive market outside the U.S. for Mastercard to capture.Also, in the context of where things stand now, greater international exposure could help drive growth for Mastercard, even if the U.S. economy slows down. Management's views on this are something investors may want to watch out for when the company holds its quarterly earnings conference call on Jan. 26.In any case, Mastercard has navigated all kinds of business cycles over the decades, so investors shouldn't have to worry about how the company will fare if there's a recession. Right now, it's on track to report solid numbers for 2022 and grow steadily in 2023, making it a no-brainer Buffett stock to buy.This Buffett stock is about to make a huge moveIf you believe a recession is upon us, Johnson & Johnson is one steadfast Buffett stock you'll want to consider buying for 2023, especially with its upcoming spin-off.Johnson & Johnson will spin off its consumer health products division into a new company called Kenvue this year as it wants to focus more on healthcare -- specifically, pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Although its consumer business owns some of the best-known brands including Neutrogena, Band-Aid, and Tylenol, it has also been a slow-growth business. Johnson & Johnson believes separating the two businesses will allow it to focus and invest in higher-growth areas, and therefore unlock greater value for shareholders.There's merit to this argument. In the first nine months of 2022, for example, its consumer health division -- which made up roughly 16% of Johnson & Johnson's overall sales -- reported operational growth (excluding the impact of foreign-currency fluctuations) of only 2.6% year over year. Pharmaceutical and MedTech (formerly known as medical devices) segments, meanwhile, reported a respective 10% and 6.6% operational growth in sales.The company has big plans. It's targeting higher-than-average growth for its pharmaceutical business and expects to generate $60 billion in revenue by 2025. This comes despite the loss of sales from Stelara, its blockbuster drug with a main patent expiring in 2023 in the U.S. and 2024 in the European Union. In MedTech, Johnson & Johnson just acquired Abiomed to expand cardiovascular offerings.Johnson & Johnson also has a solid balance sheet and is a Dividend King, with an unbeatable 60-year track record of consecutive annual dividend increases. While the company will provide its outlook and growth plans for 2023 on Jan. 24 when it releases its fourth-quarter numbers, you shouldn't have to wait to buy this 2.6%-yielding Buffett stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":244,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9958820094,"gmtCreate":1673691692919,"gmtModify":1676538875361,"author":{"id":"3560400579582064","authorId":"3560400579582064","name":"Dirsett","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"She sold these shares to claim tax &nbsp;offset.

The Chinese electric vehicle maker has seemingly had an issue every quarter that has significantly impacted its growth plans, at a time when the EV market is increasing rapidly. Over the weekend, the company released its Q3 delivery results, with the result being another round of disappointment.</p><p>For the quarter, NIO delivered 31,607 vehicles, representing growth of nearly 30% year over year. While that is a quarterly record and seems like solid growth, it was only about three weeks before the quarter&#39;s end that the company reported its Q2 results. At that time, management was calling for 31,000 to 33,000 deliveries, so the actual Q3 number fell more than a bit short of the midpoint of that range.</p><p>With July and August numbers already known when Q2 results were reported, September&#39;s 10,878 deliveries thus fell short of the month&#39;s guidance as well. This is extremely disappointing because it represents just 2.4% growth over September 2021. This is despite two new models, although one of which only recently started deliveries, but also the fact that we are more than 18 months removed from an agreement for its partner facility to double production capacity to 20,000 units a month. NIO is also building out its own factory that&#39;s supposed to reach volume production in the next couple of months. It certainly will need to get production going quickly to compete with the likes of BYD (OTCPK: BYDDY) and Tesla (TSLA), the latter of which is producing over 2,000 vehicles a day at its Shanghai factory alone.</p><p>About two months ago, I covered what I considered to be NIO&#39;sfirst disappointment during Q3 with its July delivery results. At that time, and for most of the summer, street analysts were looking for the company to report almost $6 billion in revenues in the second half of this year. Since then, estimates have been cut almost continuously, going into this weekend&#39;s news at just over $5 billion. With NIO missing the midpoint of guidance, we could see more estimate cuts, and it doesn&#39;t help that the US dollar has surged against the Yuan as seen below. That will pressure revenues when translated into US dollars at the Q3 earnings report.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a46667704eb73714c5bf89019d8d8186\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"207\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Dollar / Yuan Year To Date (CNBC)</p><p>Interestingly enough, September wasn&#39;t even NIO&#39;s best month for total deliveries. It actually tied for second with November of 2021, despite that month having fewer models for sale and the fact that the partner facility has been upgraded since. As a reminder, the company&#39;s goal was to deliver 100,000 vehicles in the second half of this year, which is going to require very significant improvement in Q4. NIO hasn&#39;t topped 13,000 deliveries in any month of its history so far, but one would figure it will certainly have to do that during each month this quarter (and be well above that level in November and December) to have any real shot at the second half goal.</p><p>When looking at NIO shares, they&#39;ve been dragged down with the overall market recently. As the chart below shows, it has not been a great year for the stock, which is only a few dollars away from its 52-week low. At the moment, both the 50-day moving average (purple line) and 200-day (orange line) are on the decline, which could provide resistance on any move higher. Since my previous article, the average street price target has come down by about $3, now sitting just above $30. While that certainly implies significant upside from here, just remember that the street&#39;s average valuation entering this year was $60, and we know how that&#39;s turned out.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/885ff1ad4792b5319c2cd64a9be84434\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"272\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Nio 2022 Performance (Yahoo Finance)</p><p>In the end, September&#39;s delivery result was another disappointment for NIO investors. Despite giving guidance with only about 3 weeks to go in the quarter, the company didn&#39;t even hit the midpoint of its delivery range. Year-over-year growth for the month was minimal, despite new models and supposed production ramps. Barring much better execution rather soon, NIO looks like it will miss its back half of the year growth target, perhaps by a significant margin. With analyst estimates likely to continue a bit lower, it&#39;s hard to see this stock moving much higher until this growth story finally materializes, unless the name is dragged higher if the equity market soars.</p></body></html>","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>NIO: Growth Disappointment Continues</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\">\nNIO: Growth Disappointment Continues\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-10-03 20:56 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4544330-nio-growth-disappointment-continues><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryNIO's Q3 deliveries fall below guidance midpoint.Despite new models, September barely showed any growth.Analyst estimates for NIO stock continue to decline.Over the last year, one of the ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4544330-nio-growth-disappointment-continues\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NIO":"蔚来","09866":"蔚来-SW","NIO.SI":"蔚来"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4544330-nio-growth-disappointment-continues","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1199069298","content_text":"SummaryNIO's Q3 deliveries fall below guidance midpoint.Despite new models, September barely showed any growth.Analyst estimates for NIO stock continue to decline.Over the last year, one of the companies I've been most frustrated with is NIO (NYSE:NIO).

PLTR is currently trading below $10 for the past three months or so, which means that the company&#39;s shares are back to where they were in the early days of its listing. This indicates that expectations for the company are low considering where its share price is, and Palantir is well-positioned to surprise the market with better-than-expected revenue growth in Q3 2022 and Q4 2022.

Even though, the company&#39;s shares have risen from the lows, PLTR&#39;s closing price as of July 22 is still only a third of its 52-week high share price of $29.29.</p><p>It isn&#39;t a big surprise that PLTR&#39;s shares are trading at such lows. The market is expecting Palantir to deliver more modest top line expansion while taking more time to generate positive GAAP earnings in the current weak economic environment. The sell-side&#39;s consensus financial forecasts obtained from <i>S&amp;P Capital IQ</i> suggest that Palantir&#39;s revenue growth will moderate from above +40% for both fiscal 2020 and 2021 to below +30% for the FY 2022-2024 period. At the same time, PLTR is projected to stay loss-making on a GAAP basis in FY 2022 and FY 2023 at the very least.</p><p>In uncertain times like these, investors tend to favor profitable companies boasting predictable (albeit relatively lower) sales growth. This also means that companies like PLTR which are still unprofitable on a GAAP basis and are witnessing revenue growth deceleration will be penalized by the market.

This implies that PLTR&#39;s revenue growth is forecasted to slow from +31% YoY in Q1 2022 to 25% YoY in Q2 2022, while its non-GAAP operating margin is estimated to contract from 26% to 20% over the same period.</p><p>Moreover, PLTR&#39;s guided Q2 2022 revenue and operating profit margin were -4% and -6.8 percentage points below the market&#39;s consensus projections, respectively as per <i>S&amp;P Capital IQ</i>.</p><p><b>Is Palantir Stock Expected To Rise Again?</b></p><p>I hold the view that Palantir&#39;s stock is expected to rise again when the company&#39;s Q3 2022 and Q4 2022 financial performance exceeds market expectations.</p><p>The market is skeptical about PTLR&#39;s ability to deliver on its full-year FY 2022 top line growth guidance of +30%. In comparison, the sell-side analysts&#39; consensus sales expansion estimate for Palantir is lower at +28.7%.</p><p>There are two key reasons why I think Palantir can achieve revenue beats for the second half of the year.</p><p>Firstly, PLTR should see its government revenue accelerate again in 2H 2022. The company&#39;s YoY government revenue growth decelerated from +26% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to +16% in the first quarter of 2022. Q1 2022 represented the fifth straight quarter running that Palantir&#39;s government revenue growth has slowed, but the trend is set to reverse. At its Q1 2022 results briefing, PLTR indicated that it is &#34;already seeing Q2 U.S. government revenue reaccelerate&#34; considering that &#34;a new budget has been passed&#34; in March 2022. A new US federal budget removes the uncertainty over the funding of future government projects, so it is natural to assume that PLTR&#39;s government revenue growth momentum will pick up pace in the second half of the year.</p><p>Secondly, the outlook for Palantir&#39;s commercial business is also good based on a review of the company&#39;s new customer additions for the recent quarter, given that there will be a time lag between new client wins and actual revenue recognition. PLTR&#39;s number of commercial clients grew by +207% YoY from 60 in Q1 2021 to 184 in Q1 2022, as per the company&#39;s recent quarterly results presentation slides. In the first quarter of this year alone, PLTR secured 37 new commercial clients (net of customers who left), which was equivalent to a very strong +25% QoQ growth. Palantir also disclosed at the company&#39;s first-quarter investor call that it &#34;closed a renewal with a major U.S. Fortune 100 company for over $150 million&#34; in April 2022. In other words, PLTR&#39;s commercial business is doing well, it is retaining key clients while adding new customers at a healthy pace.</p><p><b>Where Is Palantir Heading?</b></p><p>Palantir&#39;s shares should head north over the intermediate to long run, as investors appreciate the value of owning PLTR as a hedge against geopolitical tensions and conflicts.</p><p>PLTR emphasized at its earlier Q1 2022 results call that &#34;there&#39;s a wide range of potential upside above our guidance, including those driven by our role in responding to developing geopolitical events.&#34; The company&#39;s bullish view is validated by recently announced contract wins.</p><p>On June 28, 2022, <i>Seeking Alpha News</i> reported that the company &#34;and Raytheon Intelligence and Space (NYSE:RTX) have been awarded a prime contract to develop a prototype for the U.S. Army&#39;s Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) program.&#34; An earlier June 2, 2022 <i>Seeking Alpha News</i> article mentioned that PLTR was &#34;awarded a contract modification from the U.S. Space Systems Command&#34; so as to &#34;support national security objectives.&#34;</p><p>Palantir isn&#39;t just seeing more opportunities coming from US defense and government agencies.</p><p>Notably, PLTR secured a new $12.5 million deal from the United Kingdom&#39;s Ministry of Defense, according to a May 6, 2022 <i>Bloomberg</i> article, and it is reasonable to assume that rising geopolitical tensions in Europe following Russia - Ukraine war had compelled the UK Ministry of Defense to spend more which benefited Palantir. Separately, Palantir highlighted on its company&#39;s Twitter page on June 2, 2022 that its CEO had a meeting with Ukraine&#39;s president to discuss &#34;the pivotal role of software to Western security.&#34; It certainly seems that Palantir could win more defense-related contracts in Europe in the future.</p><p>As a reference, PLTR generated more than half or 57% of its fiscal 2021 revenue from the US markets, with key European markets, the UK and France, contributing a relatively lower 11% and 6% of its top line last year, respectively. Going forward, Palantir&#39;s actual top line growth could surpass expectations thanks to higher-than-expected sales contribution from Europe, especially in the area of defense.</p><p><b>Is PLTR Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?</b></p><p>I rate PLTR stock as a Buy. Faster-than-expected top line expansion in 2H 2022 and a larger-than-expected number of defense-related contract wins driven by geopolitical issues should be the key positive re-rating catalysts for Palantir.</p><p><i>This article was written by The Value Pendulum</i></p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Is Palantir Stock A Buy As It Nears All-Time Lows?</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\">\nIs Palantir Stock A Buy As It Nears All-Time Lows?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-07-27 10:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4525634-is-palantir-stock-a-buy-nears-all-time-lows><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryPalantir's stock price has been under $10 for most of the May-July period, and it is currently trading at one-third of its 52-week peak.PLTR recorded an all-time low share price of $6.44 during...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4525634-is-palantir-stock-a-buy-nears-all-time-lows\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PLTR":"Palantir Technologies Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4525634-is-palantir-stock-a-buy-nears-all-time-lows","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2254256508","content_text":"SummaryPalantir's stock price has been under $10 for most of the May-July period, and it is currently trading at one-third of its 52-week peak.PLTR recorded an all-time low share price of $6.44 during intra-day trading on May 12, 2022, as the company's Q2 2022 guidance released on May 9, 2022 disappointed the market.Palantir is a Buy now, because its 2H 2022 revenue should beat market expectations, and rising geopolitical tensions are a key driver of PLTR's medium-to-long term growth.Michael ViElevator PitchPalantir Technologies Inc.

In other words, PLTR's commercial business is doing well, it is retaining key clients while adding new customers at a healthy pace.Where Is Palantir Heading?Palantir's shares should head north over the intermediate to long run, as investors appreciate the value of owning PLTR as a hedge against geopolitical tensions and conflicts.PLTR emphasized at its earlier Q1 2022 results call that \"there's a wide range of potential upside above our guidance, including those driven by our role in responding to developing geopolitical events.\" The company's bullish view is validated by recently announced contract wins.On June 28, 2022, Seeking Alpha News reported that the company \"and Raytheon Intelligence and Space (NYSE:RTX) have been awarded a prime contract to develop a prototype for the U.S. Army's Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) program.\" An earlier June 2, 2022 Seeking Alpha News article mentioned that PLTR was \"awarded a contract modification from the U.S. Space Systems Command\" so as to \"support national security objectives.\"Palantir isn't just seeing more opportunities coming from US defense and government agencies.Notably, PLTR secured a new $12.5 million deal from the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense, according to a May 6, 2022 Bloomberg article, and it is reasonable to assume that rising geopolitical tensions in Europe following Russia - Ukraine war had compelled the UK Ministry of Defense to spend more which benefited Palantir. Separately, Palantir highlighted on its company's Twitter page on June 2, 2022 that its CEO had a meeting with Ukraine's president to discuss \"the pivotal role of software to Western security.\" It certainly seems that Palantir could win more defense-related contracts in Europe in the future.As a reference, PLTR generated more than half or 57% of its fiscal 2021 revenue from the US markets, with key European markets, the UK and France, contributing a relatively lower 11% and 6% of its top line last year, respectively. Going forward, Palantir's actual top line growth could surpass expectations thanks to higher-than-expected sales contribution from Europe, especially in the area of defense.Is PLTR Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?I rate PLTR stock as a Buy. Faster-than-expected top line expansion in 2H 2022 and a larger-than-expected number of defense-related contract wins driven by geopolitical issues should be the key positive re-rating catalysts for Palantir.This article was written by The Value Pendulum","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":108,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9952414711,"gmtCreate":1674873778234,"gmtModify":1676538964233,"author":{"id":"3560400579582064","authorId":"3560400579582064","name":"Dirsett","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"It is reliable to use Golden Cross as guidance. from here &nbsp;buy&nbsp;consistently as market drop.

Of the 50 stocks Buffett owns, only 10 stocks gained in value last year. In the third quarter alone, Berkshire Hathaway lost $10.1 billion on its investments in equities.</p><p>Yet gains or losses on investments in any given quarter are meaningless, as Buffett&#39;s track record as a stock picker in the long term is hard to rival. That explains why investors often look at the legendary-investor&#39;s portfolio for stock ideas. Right now, among the several stocks Berkshire Hathaway holds, here are the three best, no-brainer Buffett stocks to buy for 2023.</p><h2>One oil stock Buffett absolutely loves</h2><p>The first Buffett stock to buy for 2023 is also one the Oracle of Omaha bought hand over fist in 2022: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OXY\">Occidental Petroleum</a>.</p><p>Although Buffett already owned preferred stocks and warrants in Occidental, he disclosed a position in its common stock for the first time in March 2</p><p>The first Buffett stock to buy for 2023 is also one the Oracle of Omaha bought hand over fist in 20022. There&#39;s been no stopping Buffett since then.</p><p>Occidental stock is now among Berkshire&#39;s 10 largest holdings, and Buffett has even obtained regulatory approval to buy up to a 50% stake in the oil and gas producer. That means he could continue to buy shares in Occidental in 2023, and <i>that</i> could be one of the biggest catalysts for the oil stock&#39;s price this year.</p><p>As an upstream oil company, Occidental is also perfectly poised to rally if crude oil prices rise this year. On the flip side, even if oil prices fall, Occidental should still deliver value to shareholders, as it also runs midstream and chemicals businesses, is flush with cash, and has a much stronger balance sheet now after repaying debt worth a whopping $9.6 billion in 2022 through Nov. 7.</p><p>A solid cash-flow profile also means Occidental should increase its dividend per share yet again in 2023. In fact, the company says it should be able to increase dividends even if West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil plunges to $40 per barrel. Although Occidental may not increase its annual dividend payout as much as it did in 2022 -- 1,200%, at that -- it&#39;s a company that&#39;s committed to paying you more. That&#39;s a very Buffett thing to own right now.</p><h2>The steadfast stock Buffett can&#39;t let go of</h2><p>The second Buffett stock you may want to buy right now is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MA\">Mastercard</a>. The payment processor has performed exceptionally well over the years and looks poised to stick with the trend.</p><p>Mastercard is currently on solid footing. During the nine months that ended Sept. 30, 2022, the company grew its net revenue by 20% and net income by 17% year over year. Mastercard generated a solid operating margin of 55% during the period, and that&#39;s pretty consistent with what the company has generated for years.</p><p>Payment processing is an asset-light, high-margin business with no credit risk since companies don&#39;t lend but earn a fee on every transaction processed on their network, and that&#39;s visible in Mastercard&#39;s numbers. The company had 3 billion Mastercard and Maestro-branded cards issued globally, as of Sept. 30.</p><p>One thing that could hugely work in the company&#39;s favor this year and beyond is its international exposure, which is larger than that of its arch-rival <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a></b>. With a majority of global transactions still cash-driven, there&#39;s a massive market outside the U.S. for Mastercard to capture.</p><p>Also, in the context of where things stand now, greater international exposure could help drive growth for Mastercard, even if the U.S. economy slows down. Management&#39;s views on this are something investors may want to watch out for when the company holds its quarterly earnings conference call on Jan. 26.</p><p>In any case, Mastercard has navigated all kinds of business cycles over the decades, so investors shouldn&#39;t have to worry about how the company will fare if there&#39;s a recession.

Of the 50 stocks Buffett owns, only 10 stocks gained in value last year. In the third quarter alone, Berkshire Hathaway lost $10.1 billion on its investments in equities.Yet gains or losses on investments in any given quarter are meaningless, as Buffett's track record as a stock picker in the long term is hard to rival. That explains why investors often look at the legendary-investor's portfolio for stock ideas. Right now, among the several stocks Berkshire Hathaway holds, here are the three best, no-brainer Buffett stocks to buy for 2023.One oil stock Buffett absolutely lovesThe first Buffett stock to buy for 2023 is also one the Oracle of Omaha bought hand over fist in 2022: Occidental Petroleum.Although Buffett already owned preferred stocks and warrants in Occidental, he disclosed a position in its common stock for the first time in March 2The first Buffett stock to buy for 2023 is also one the Oracle of Omaha bought hand over fist in 20022. There's been no stopping Buffett since then.Occidental stock is now among Berkshire's 10 largest holdings, and Buffett has even obtained regulatory approval to buy up to a 50% stake in the oil and gas producer. That means he could continue to buy shares in Occidental in 2023, and that could be one of the biggest catalysts for the oil stock's price this year.As an upstream oil company, Occidental is also perfectly poised to rally if crude oil prices rise this year. On the flip side, even if oil prices fall, Occidental should still deliver value to shareholders, as it also runs midstream and chemicals businesses, is flush with cash, and has a much stronger balance sheet now after repaying debt worth a whopping $9.6 billion in 2022 through Nov. 7.A solid cash-flow profile also means Occidental should increase its dividend per share yet again in 2023. In fact, the company says it should be able to increase dividends even if West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil plunges to $40 per barrel. Although Occidental may not increase its annual dividend payout as much as it did in 2022 -- 1,200%, at that -- it's a company that's committed to paying you more. That's a very Buffett thing to own right now.The steadfast stock Buffett can't let go ofThe second Buffett stock you may want to buy right now is Mastercard. The payment processor has performed exceptionally well over the years and looks poised to stick with the trend.Mastercard is currently on solid footing. During the nine months that ended Sept. 30, 2022, the company grew its net revenue by 20% and net income by 17% year over year. Mastercard generated a solid operating margin of 55% during the period, and that's pretty consistent with what the company has generated for years.Payment processing is an asset-light, high-margin business with no credit risk since companies don't lend but earn a fee on every transaction processed on their network, and that's visible in Mastercard's numbers. The company had 3 billion Mastercard and Maestro-branded cards issued globally, as of Sept. 30.One thing that could hugely work in the company's favor this year and beyond is its international exposure, which is larger than that of its arch-rival Visa. With a majority of global transactions still cash-driven, there's a massive market outside the U.S. for Mastercard to capture.Also, in the context of where things stand now, greater international exposure could help drive growth for Mastercard, even if the U.S. economy slows down. Management's views on this are something investors may want to watch out for when the company holds its quarterly earnings conference call on Jan. 26.In any case, Mastercard has navigated all kinds of business cycles over the decades, so investors shouldn't have to worry about how the company will fare if there's a recession. Right now, it's on track to report solid numbers for 2022 and grow steadily in 2023, making it a no-brainer Buffett stock to buy.This Buffett stock is about to make a huge moveIf you believe a recession is upon us, Johnson & Johnson is one steadfast Buffett stock you'll want to consider buying for 2023, especially with its upcoming spin-off.Johnson & Johnson will spin off its consumer health products division into a new company called Kenvue this year as it wants to focus more on healthcare -- specifically, pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Although its consumer business owns some of the best-known brands including Neutrogena, Band-Aid, and Tylenol, it has also been a slow-growth business. Johnson & Johnson believes separating the two businesses will allow it to focus and invest in higher-growth areas, and therefore unlock greater value for shareholders.There's merit to this argument.

In MedTech, Johnson & Johnson just acquired Abiomed to expand cardiovascular offerings.Johnson & Johnson also has a solid balance sheet and is a Dividend King, with an unbeatable 60-year track record of consecutive annual dividend increases.

Not always enjoying robust support from her own party, a survey in December 2022 revealed nearly half of Americans have an unfavorable view of the former House Speaker from California. Still, as a celebrated stock picker, she generates intense interest among retail investors.</p><p>As <i>NPR</i> reported in September 2021, “Young investors have a new strategy: watching financial disclosures of sitting members of Congress for stock tips.” Further, the news agency stated the following about the demand for so-called Nancy Pelosi stocks:</p><blockquote>“Among a certain community of individual investors on TikTok, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s stock trading disclosures are a treasure trove. ‘Shouts out to Nancy Pelosi, the stock market’s biggest whale,’ said user “ceowatchlist.” Another said, ‘I’ve come to the conclusion that Nancy Pelosi is a psychic,’ while adding that she is the ‘queen of investing.’</blockquote><blockquote>‘She knew,’ declared Chris Josephs, analyzing a particular trade in Pelosi’s financial disclosures. ‘And you would have known if you had followed her portfolio.&#39;”</blockquote><p>In 2012, former President Barack Obama “…signed into law the STOCK Act, a bipartisan bill that prevents Members of Congress from trading stocks based on nonpublic information they gleaned on Capitol Hill,” according to the official White House statement.</p><p>Nevertheless, many retail investors continued to follow Nancy Pelosi stocks under the notion of following the smart money.</p><h2>Congressional ‘Guidance’ of Debatable Merit</h2><p>Inherently, value exists in gleaning information from the most powerful lawmakers in the U.S. government. Nevertheless, the merit of following implied guidance from members of Congress is a debated topic.</p><p>According to research published by the Journal of Public Economics, the authors of the study found “no evidence of superior investment performance whether [looking] in aggregate or at Senators specifically accused of informed trading.” The research covered the period between January 2012 and December 2020.</p><p>Still, that might not be the end for retail investors interested in Nancy Pelosi stocks. As <i>Reuters</i> reported in March 2020, public outcry rang out against U.S. senators who sold equity shares right before the coronavirus pandemic uprooted American society.</p><p>Therefore, this latest batch of data – this time for Nancy Pelosi stocks to <i>sell</i> – might rile market participants once again.</p><p><i>On the date of publication, Josh Enomoto did not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article. The opinions expressed in this article are those of the writer, subject to the InvestorPlace.com Publishing Guidelines.</i></p><p>A former senior business analyst for Sony Electronics, Josh Enomoto has helped broker major contracts with Fortune Global 500 companies.

Still, as a celebrated stock picker, she generates intense interest among retail investors.As NPR reported in September 2021, “Young investors have a new strategy: watching financial disclosures of sitting members of Congress for stock tips.” Further, the news agency stated the following about the demand for so-called Nancy Pelosi stocks:“Among a certain community of individual investors on TikTok, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s stock trading disclosures are a treasure trove. ‘Shouts out to Nancy Pelosi, the stock market’s biggest whale,’ said user “ceowatchlist.” Another said, ‘I’ve come to the conclusion that Nancy Pelosi is a psychic,’ while adding that she is the ‘queen of investing.’‘She knew,’ declared Chris Josephs, analyzing a particular trade in Pelosi’s financial disclosures. ‘And you would have known if you had followed her portfolio.'”In 2012, former President Barack Obama “…signed into law the STOCK Act, a bipartisan bill that prevents Members of Congress from trading stocks based on nonpublic information they gleaned on Capitol Hill,” according to the official White House statement.Nevertheless, many retail investors continued to follow Nancy Pelosi stocks under the notion of following the smart money.Congressional ‘Guidance’ of Debatable MeritInherently, value exists in gleaning information from the most powerful lawmakers in the U.S. government. Nevertheless, the merit of following implied guidance from members of Congress is a debated topic.According to research published by the Journal of Public Economics, the authors of the study found “no evidence of superior investment performance whether [looking] in aggregate or at Senators specifically accused of informed trading.” The research covered the period between January 2012 and December 2020.Still, that might not be the end for retail investors interested in Nancy Pelosi stocks. As Reuters reported in March 2020, public outcry rang out against U.S. senators who sold equity shares right before the coronavirus pandemic uprooted American society.Therefore, this latest batch of data – this time for Nancy Pelosi stocks to sell – might rile market participants once again.On the date of publication, Josh Enomoto did not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article. The opinions expressed in this article are those of the writer, subject to the InvestorPlace.com Publishing Guidelines.A former senior business analyst for Sony Electronics, Josh Enomoto has helped broker major contracts with Fortune Global 500 companies.

PLTR is currently trading below $10 for the past three months or so, which means that the company&#39;s shares are back to where they were in the early days of its listing. This indicates that expectations for the company are low considering where its share price is, and Palantir is well-positioned to surprise the market with better-than-expected revenue growth in Q3 2022 and Q4 2022. More importantly, geopolitical tensions and conflicts are expected to drive an increase in the amount of money that governments around the world spend on defense, and Palantir is already a beneficiary as evidenced by recent contract wins.</p><p>Why Is Palantir Stock Near All-Time Lows?</p><p>Palantir debuted on the New York Stock Exchange on September 30, 2020 with its shares closing at $9.50 at the end of the trading day.

Even though, the company&#39;s shares have risen from the lows, PLTR&#39;s closing price as of July 22 is still only a third of its 52-week high share price of $29.29.</p><p>It isn&#39;t a big surprise that PLTR&#39;s shares are trading at such lows. The market is expecting Palantir to deliver more modest top line expansion while taking more time to generate positive GAAP earnings in the current weak economic environment. The sell-side&#39;s consensus financial forecasts obtained from <i>S&amp;P Capital IQ</i> suggest that Palantir&#39;s revenue growth will moderate from above +40% for both fiscal 2020 and 2021 to below +30% for the FY 2022-2024 period. At the same time, PLTR is projected to stay loss-making on a GAAP basis in FY 2022 and FY 2023 at the very least.</p><p>In uncertain times like these, investors tend to favor profitable companies boasting predictable (albeit relatively lower) sales growth. This also means that companies like PLTR which are still unprofitable on a GAAP basis and are witnessing revenue growth deceleration will be penalized by the market. In that respect, Palantir&#39;s consensus forward next twelve months&#39; Enterprise Value-to-Revenue multiple has compressed from as high as 50 times in early- 2021 to under 10 times in the last three months as per <i>S&amp;P Capital IQ</i>.</p><p><b>PLTR Stock Key Metrics</b></p><p>PLTR&#39;s below-expectations 2Q 2022 management guidance revealed as part of the company&#39;s Q1 2022 financial results released on May 9, 2022 was the key factor that led to Palantir&#39;s shares falling to a historical low on May 12, 2022.</p><p>Palantir guided for the company to achieve a top line of $470 million and a non-GAAP adjusted operating profit margin of 20% for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. This implies that PLTR&#39;s revenue growth is forecasted to slow from +31% YoY in Q1 2022 to 25% YoY in Q2 2022, while its non-GAAP operating margin is estimated to contract from 26% to 20% over the same period.</p><p>Moreover, PLTR&#39;s guided Q2 2022 revenue and operating profit margin were -4% and -6.8 percentage points below the market&#39;s consensus projections, respectively as per <i>S&amp;P Capital IQ</i>.</p><p><b>Is Palantir Stock Expected To Rise Again?</b></p><p>I hold the view that Palantir&#39;s stock is expected to rise again when the company&#39;s Q3 2022 and Q4 2022 financial performance exceeds market expectations.</p><p>The market is skeptical about PTLR&#39;s ability to deliver on its full-year FY 2022 top line growth guidance of +30%. In comparison, the sell-side analysts&#39; consensus sales expansion estimate for Palantir is lower at +28.7%.</p><p>There are two key reasons why I think Palantir can achieve revenue beats for the second half of the year.</p><p>Firstly, PLTR should see its government revenue accelerate again in 2H 2022. The company&#39;s YoY government revenue growth decelerated from +26% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to +16% in the first quarter of 2022. Q1 2022 represented the fifth straight quarter running that Palantir&#39;s government revenue growth has slowed, but the trend is set to reverse. At its Q1 2022 results briefing, PLTR indicated that it is &#34;already seeing Q2 U.S. government revenue reaccelerate&#34; considering that &#34;a new budget has been passed&#34; in March 2022. A new US federal budget removes the uncertainty over the funding of future government projects, so it is natural to assume that PLTR&#39;s government revenue growth momentum will pick up pace in the second half of the year.</p><p>Secondly, the outlook for Palantir&#39;s commercial business is also good based on a review of the company&#39;s new customer additions for the recent quarter, given that there will be a time lag between new client wins and actual revenue recognition. PLTR&#39;s number of commercial clients grew by +207% YoY from 60 in Q1 2021 to 184 in Q1 2022, as per the company&#39;s recent quarterly results presentation slides. In the first quarter of this year alone, PLTR secured 37 new commercial clients (net of customers who left), which was equivalent to a very strong +25% QoQ growth. Palantir also disclosed at the company&#39;s first-quarter investor call that it &#34;closed a renewal with a major U.S. Fortune 100 company for over $150 million&#34; in April 2022. In other words, PLTR&#39;s commercial business is doing well, it is retaining key clients while adding new customers at a healthy pace.</p><p><b>Where Is Palantir Heading?</b></p><p>Palantir&#39;s shares should head north over the intermediate to long run, as investors appreciate the value of owning PLTR as a hedge against geopolitical tensions and conflicts.</p><p>PLTR emphasized at its earlier Q1 2022 results call that &#34;there&#39;s a wide range of potential upside above our guidance, including those driven by our role in responding to developing geopolitical events.&#34; The company&#39;s bullish view is validated by recently announced contract wins.</p><p>On June 28, 2022, <i>Seeking Alpha News</i> reported that the company &#34;and Raytheon Intelligence and Space (NYSE:RTX) have been awarded a prime contract to develop a prototype for the U.S. Army&#39;s Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) program.&#34; An earlier June 2, 2022 <i>Seeking Alpha News</i> article mentioned that PLTR was &#34;awarded a contract modification from the U.S. Space Systems Command&#34; so as to &#34;support national security objectives.&#34;</p><p>Palantir isn&#39;t just seeing more opportunities coming from US defense and government agencies.</p><p>Notably, PLTR secured a new $12.5 million deal from the United Kingdom&#39;s Ministry of Defense, according to a May 6, 2022 <i>Bloomberg</i> article, and it is reasonable to assume that rising geopolitical tensions in Europe following Russia - Ukraine war had compelled the UK Ministry of Defense to spend more which benefited Palantir. Separately, Palantir highlighted on its company&#39;s Twitter page on June 2, 2022 that its CEO had a meeting with Ukraine&#39;s president to discuss &#34;the pivotal role of software to Western security.&#34; It certainly seems that Palantir could win more defense-related contracts in Europe in the future.</p><p>As a reference, PLTR generated more than half or 57% of its fiscal 2021 revenue from the US markets, with key European markets, the UK and France, contributing a relatively lower 11% and 6% of its top line last year, respectively. Going forward, Palantir&#39;s actual top line growth could surpass expectations thanks to higher-than-expected sales contribution from Europe, especially in the area of defense.</p><p><b>Is PLTR Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?</b></p><p>I rate PLTR stock as a Buy. Faster-than-expected top line expansion in 2H 2022 and a larger-than-expected number of defense-related contract wins driven by geopolitical issues should be the key positive re-rating catalysts for Palantir.</p><p><i>This article was written by The Value Pendulum</i></p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Is Palantir Stock A Buy As It Nears All-Time Lows?</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\">\nIs Palantir Stock A Buy As It Nears All-Time Lows?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-07-27 10:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4525634-is-palantir-stock-a-buy-nears-all-time-lows><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryPalantir's stock price has been under $10 for most of the May-July period, and it is currently trading at one-third of its 52-week peak.PLTR recorded an all-time low share price of $6.44 during...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4525634-is-palantir-stock-a-buy-nears-all-time-lows\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PLTR":"Palantir Technologies Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4525634-is-palantir-stock-a-buy-nears-all-time-lows","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2254256508","content_text":"SummaryPalantir's stock price has been under $10 for most of the May-July period, and it is currently trading at one-third of its 52-week peak.PLTR recorded an all-time low share price of $6.44 during intra-day trading on May 12, 2022, as the company's Q2 2022 guidance released on May 9, 2022 disappointed the market.Palantir is a Buy now, because its 2H 2022 revenue should beat market expectations, and rising geopolitical tensions are a key driver of PLTR's medium-to-long term growth.Michael ViElevator PitchPalantir Technologies Inc.

Faster-than-expected top line expansion in 2H 2022 and a larger-than-expected number of defense-related contract wins driven by geopolitical issues should be the key positive re-rating catalysts for Palantir.This article was written by The Value Pendulum","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":108,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":255810217832520,"gmtCreate":1703467159635,"gmtModify":1703467164938,"author":{"id":"3560400579582064","authorId":"3560400579582064","name":"Dirsett","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Share your opinion about this news…","listText":"Share your opinion about this news…","text":"Share your opinion about this news…","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/255810217832520","repostId":"2394284951","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2394284951","pubTimestamp":1703465831,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2394284951?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-12-25 08:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 Top Growth Stocks to Buy BEFORE They Take Off in 2024","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2394284951","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"These top growth stocks across high-potential sectors have been executing very well recently and seem poised to take off in 2024.","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul style=\"\"><li><p><strong>QuickLogic</strong> (<strong><u>QUIK</u></strong>): EPS projected to triple in 2024 as fabless chipmaker wins major AI/ML clients.</p></li><li><p><strong>Li Auto</strong> (<strong><u>LI</u></strong>): Grew revenue by 271% and profits by 272% last quarter while rival EV makers struggled.</p></li><li><p><strong>Lasertec</strong> (<strong><u>LSRCY,</u></strong> <strong>LSRCF</strong>): Dominates key lithography tool niche with 90% market share as AI chip demand explodes.</p></li><li><p>Continue reading for the complete list of the growth stocks!</p></li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/91ecbb12fc2a4173ccc5331b45fc4be9\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"432\"/></p><p>Source: 3rdtimeluckystudio / Shutterstock</p><p>There finally seems to be light at the end of the tunnel for growth stocks. As we head into 2024, the <strong>Nasdaq</strong> index has steadily begun recovering. While it still has a way to go before reaching its 2021 peak, I believe it’s only a matter of time. The economy is showing positive signs as well – strong GDP growth, low unemployment, and expected interest rate cuts in 2024 all point to sunnier days ahead.</p><p>In this bullish environment, now could be the perfect time to take positions in high-potential growth stocks before they take off. I’ve compiled a list of seven top growth stocks that I believe are poised for massive gains in 2024. Some are still undervalued after last year’s selloff and are ripe for a recovery, while others managed to power through the uncertainty and carry strong momentum into the new year.</p><p>Of course, the market is still susceptible to a black swan event, and growth stocks carry higher risk. But historically, periods of recovery after major sell-offs have led to especially lucrative gains for those brave enough to buy when others are fearful.

This fabless chipmaker has been landing major clients left and right as companies and governments rush to integrate AI capabilities. Sales and profits are surging as a result. In just the past year, the stock has soared over 161, yet it still trades at a forward P/E of just 38 based on 2024 projections.</p><p>With EPS poised to more than triple next year per analyst estimates, I believe QuickLogic remains significantly undervalued. The growth trajectory here is explosive, thanks to the sheer demand for optimized AI chips. As one of the leading fabless designers in this space, QuickLogic finds itself in the right place at the right time to capitalize. Plus, the company has a history of comfortably beating earnings expectations.</p><p>I’m thrilled to see the stock finally getting some recognition. The catalysts are obvious – global AI chip demand is experiencing parabolic growth. QuickLogic’s specialization in low-power optimized designs places its offerings in hot demand across sectors like automotive, mobile, and IoT. As profits continue to impress, investors will clamor for this growth stock.</p><h2 id=\"id_2283277183\">Li Auto (LI)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/55a67c80329b92468ee92f5c4c678074\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/></p><p>Source: Robert Way / Shutterstock.com</p><p>As U.S. electric vehicle makers stumble with production delays, losses, and extreme dilution, <strong>Li Auto</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong>LI</strong>) continues humming along at an impressive clip. The Chinese manufacturer grew revenue by a whopping 271% last quarter. Bottom-line expansion hit 272% over the same period last year. Unlike rivals, Li Auto is actually profitable while growing leaps and bounds.</p><p>Not only that, Li Auto outsold Tesla in October 2023 to become the EV sales leader in China. The company’s hybrid offerings resonate strongly with Chinese consumers thanks to competitive pricing and quality. Li Auto now commands a 4.5% share of China’s EV market – a remarkable achievement.</p><p>Despite the blistering growth, LI stock trades nearly 30% off its August peak. Expanding gross margins and surging deliveries make Li Auto ripe for multiple expansions. As Chinese regulators renew EV subsidies next year, demand stands to rise higher. I believe the current entry point won’t last long. Li Auto remains my top EV startup pick because of its solid execution and immense growth prospects in the years ahead. Buckle up for liable gains!</p><h2 id=\"id_2064988648\">Lasertec (LSRCY, LSRCF)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c9783c1fb86e86e1157f7742b426faec\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/></p><p>Source: MEE KO DONG / Shutterstock</p><p>I’ve been bullish on <strong>Lasertec</strong> (OTCMKTS:<strong><u>LSRCF</u></strong>, OTCMKTS:<strong><u>LSRCY</u></strong>) for months, first recommending the stock in June 202. Since then, shares have continued marching higher, gaining nearly 70%. Yet, I still believe the party’s just getting started for this Japanese manufacturer of chipmaking equipment.</p><p>My bullishness stems from surging capital expenditures by semiconductor fabricators specializing in AI, ADAS, and other advanced chips. All next-generation technologies rely on advanced lithography for optimized performance – exactly Lasertec’s specialty. With over 90% global market share in EUV mask inspection tools, Lasertec is perfectly positioned to ride the ongoing AI chip boom.</p><p>Chip manufacturers are desperate to get their hands on these tools – supply simply can’t keep up with demand. As sales and profits surpass estimates, I expect shares to keep up their momentum through 2024 and beyond.</p><p>The AI revolution is still early, so the chip explosion should last for years. Thus, Lasertec’s dominance in a critical fabrication niche makes it one of the best ways to play this trend.</p><h2 id=\"id_2328826098\">Coupang (CPNG)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/98997ee19d6feac124a5518f4f3c3c75\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/></p><p>Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.com</p><p>E-commerce stocks endured a rough 2022 and 2023, but the tides are shifting as we head into 2024. <strong>Coupang</strong> (NYSE:<strong>CPNG</strong>) has borne the brunt of the sector selloff, with shares plunging over 60% from its 2021 IPO price.

Now is the time to rotate out of these companies, and into better-performing energy stocks or other sectors, including tech.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">Chesapeake Energy (CHK)</h2><p><strong>Chesapeake Energy </strong>(NASDAQ: <strong>CHK</strong>) was a solid stock to have held in 2022. Like many energy stocks, it had a strong year due to booming energy prices. The company deals primarily in natural gas, which soared last year. This led to a more than doubling of revenues in 2022, reaching $11.74 billion.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">That strong performance resulted in CHK stock increasing from $66 to $94 in 2022. Of course, 2023 has begun as an entirely different story. CHK stock has since declined to around $75 per share, at the time of writing.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The company’s forecasted production volume, as well as expected energy prices, are not in Chesapeake’s favor right now. In short, 2023 will not be a repeat of 2022, which suggests investors should avoid CHK stock, or sell now.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The company provided guidance that 2023 production volume will likely be lower than 2022, when it released earnings in February. And the U.S. Energy Information Administration has forecast lower prices throughout 2023.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Those aren’t the only two factors that determine Chesapeake’s share prices, to be sure. However, they are critical factors nonetheless. The company won’t produce 2022-level revenues in 2023, which is a simple reason to avoid CHK stock now.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">Devon Energy (DVN)</h2><p><strong>Devon Energy </strong>(NYSE: <strong>DVN</strong>) had a great 2022, just as Chesapeake Energy and many other energy companies did. High-level metrics suggest DVN stock is investment grade, something the company has called itself in the past.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Devon’s free cash flows more than doubled in 2022, reaching $6 billion. Additionally, the company’s Q4 oil production volumes reached an all-time high of 316,000 barrels per day. And for shareholders, its already-high dividend was raised by 11% in 2023.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">These strong results make it difficult to understand why Devon Energy has seen declining share prices in 2023. But it’s a case of past performance not guaranteeing future returns. Devon Energy’s issue is weak 2023 production expectations paired with higher-than-expected capital expenditures. If a given company’s income is expected to fall while its expenses rise, it will be more vulnerable. That’s where Devon Energy is currently due to those combined factors.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Devon’s 10% dividend is very enticing, but investors should remain cautious. Such high yields tend to indicate significantly higher risk, which the market is clearly pricing into this stock now.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">ConocoPhillips (COP)</h2><p>The fortunes of<strong> ConocoPhillips </strong>(NYSE: <strong>COP</strong>), and those of its shareholders, have not been strong this year. In 2023, COP stock has been among the many energy stocks that have witnessed a drop. Much of that decline can be attributed to news surrounding the company’s Willow Project on Alaska’s North Slope.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">That project has faced significant scrutiny, culminating in an environmental review by the Biden Administration.

It was formed in 2008 when the two largest satellite radio providers merged, Sirius and XM. The company provides 400 channels, where you can listen to ad-free music, talk shows, and live play-by-play sports coverage of all major sports leagues. The channel<span> offers exclusive content for your car system, phone, and computer. The content requires a subscription service and to keep up with the times, SIRI is investing in streaming, a non-linear format that is very popular nowadays with the younger generation. The company's streaming app just started rolling out in December of last year and is gaining traction and its Pandora streaming service is losing market share to the big streaming platforms like Spotify (</span>SPOT<span>), Apple Music (</span>AAPL<span>), and YouTube Music (</span>GOOG<span>).</span></p> <h2><strong>Financials</strong></h2> <p>As of FY23, the company had around $216m in cash and equivalents against a whopping $8.7B in long-term debt. That's a decent amount of debt, however, is it something to worry about? I like to look at a few solvency metrics to help me decide whether the company is overindulging on leverage.</p> <p>First, the company's debt-to-assets ratio is a little on the higher side as of FY23. It is at around 0.9, and I prefer a maximum of 0.6, so it seems it is a bit on the higher end of risk here. The second metric I like to examine is the company's debt-to-equity ratio. The company has accumulated a shareholder deficit for almost a decade now, so this metric is negative, which doesn't mean that the company is at any risk of bankruptcy. It certainly would be if the company was not good at making cash, which it is in this case, so I won't put too much weight on negative D/E. Lastly, I like to look at the company's ability to meet its debt obligation, in the form of being able to pay the annual interest expense. Here, I look for an interest coverage ratio of at least 5x, but many analysts tend to agree that a ratio of just 2x is sufficient. I like to be more conservative and prefer a 5x because it allows for bad years of performance when EBIT drops significantly y/y, but if the coverage ratio is at 5x, then bad years shouldn't affect the ability to pay the annual interest expense. The ratio at the end of FY23 stood at around 4.8, so doesn't seem to have trouble paying its obligations. Furthermore, its cash from operations has been at around $2B, so that is a good cushion in my opinion.</p> <p>The company's current ratio is not the best. It has been operating with a current ratio of 0.3 for at least the last 5 years, so it may not be of any risk, because it's been like this for a while, and about half of those current liabilities are deferred revenues, which is revenue that is received but because of the company's subscription-based nature, not recognized as such because the subscriptions are annual usually.</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/2/21/48589448-17085346647712445.png\"/></span></picture><figcaption><p>Current Ratio (Author)</p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>So far, in terms of liquidity and solvency, it's not looking particularly great, which means I will be aiming for a higher margin of safety when it comes to its valuation in the later section.</p> <p>Now, let's look at the company's efficiency and profitability in more detail. SIRI's GAAP margins have been relatively stable, with gross margins seeing a slight decrease over the last couple of years, while EBIT and net margins have performed better. It looks like the company is maintaining its efficiency relatively well, which is better than a declining trend.</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/2/21/48589448-1708534665030415.png\"/></span></picture><figcaption><p>Margins (Author)</p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>Looking further at efficiency, the company's return on assets has been decent also throughout the years, hovering at around 12% and well above my minimum of 5%. It seems that the management is good at utilizing the company's assets. Furthermore, the company's return on total capital measures how well the management is allocating total capital to profitable projects. In other words, measures the company's profitability. I usually look for at least 10%, which tells me that the company has a strong moat and a competitive advantage. SIRI's ROTC stood at around 19% as of FY23, which is impressive. No point in comparing the company's ROTC to competitors since SIRI is the only major satellite radio provider out there right now.</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/2/21/48589448-17085346646478589.png\"/></span></picture><figcaption><p>ROTC and ROA (SA)</p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>In terms of revenues, SIRI has done decently in the past, but ever since the competition of people's ears came out in the form of streaming with the likes of Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music, the growth has slowed down considerably, and it doesn't look like it'll be coming back anytime soon. Analysts are expecting around 1%-2% growth going forward, with -2% for FY24. The company needs to come up with some initiatives that would invigorate its top line.</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/2/21/48589448-17085346652390316.png\"/></span></picture><figcaption><p>Revenue is stagnating (Author)</p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>Overall, the financials are somewhat of a mixed bag. The high debt figures balanced out with great cash flow and decent margins, but no growth in revenues. This mixed bag will demand a higher discount on the company's valuation model.</p> <h2><strong>Comments on the Outlook</strong></h2> <p>So, we don't know how long the company is going to survive in such a competitive market. The company needs to compete with juggernauts like the aforementioned Big Three for people's ears and it is not going to be easy. The audience is getting younger and more tech-savvy, which means everything needs to be advanced, and most will be using their phones to stream whatever they want to listen to. I'm not saying that there is no place for satellite radio in this world anymore, but it is getting harder and harder to maintain the market share. People in metropolitan areas are most likely will be using the streaming services that they must have been paying for years now. I've been using Spotify Premium since 2012 and I don't see this changing any time soon. Every time I am in my car, I connect to my Spotify account, and the only time that would fail is if I am on a long road trip where a network connection is non-existent. And even then, I had a large library of podcasts or albums downloaded because the radio stations were no good in my opinion. Many places are more rural and satellite radio comes in handy, so SIRI may maintain that niche until there is much better connectivity all around the globe, but the continual investment in satellites tells me that the company is still very positive about its future.</p> <p>The company's efforts of rebranding to appeal to the younger audiences are still in their very early stages and will need to prove it is going to take the market share away from the mentioned streaming giants, however, that is the initiative I like to see from a company that could have become extinct if it stays where it is. In my opinion, the streaming app is the only one that will matter in the end, and what sets SIRI apart from the other streaming platforms is the focus on the in-house production of shows. New shows with celebrities like John Mayer have done extremely well, as well as the world of podcasts is getting very popular globally, so I believe that further focus on this type of content will attract a certain group of people, a niche, that will be sustainable and profitable, but that is just my view on where the company should go because I don't think it is going to be easy to compete against the more established music streaming platforms out there. On top of that Spotify's extensive podcast library is also one big obstacle that SIRI needs to overcome if the company is going to go the route of original content creation. I don't believe listeners are quick to change which platform to use. I currently have YouTube Premium and yet I do not use YouTube Music as the app is just not what I'm used to. The time and effort put into the customization of my subscription on Spotify is too great even if another platform might be cheaper overall. I don't think I'm the only one on this. So, that is going to be a big challenge to overcome if SIRI is going to take market share away from established players like SPOT. Some services help with bringing your playlists across to other platforms, but I don't think they help with the customization that your current platform offers you via learning what you like to listen to and recommend something new to discover.</p> <p>In short, I may be biased, but the company will have to prove it can return to growth with its new streaming initiative to stay relevant and a strong competitor to the more established music streaming platforms that already take so much of people's listening time.</p> <p>The company's streaming platform Pandora has been very popular in the past and still boasts quite a lot of subscribers, however, according to Statista, which projected that the number of active users will fall to around 49m by '23, we can see from the report here that the number of active users is around 46m, so the company is losing users at a higher pace than originally modeled. By comparison, Spotify was projected to have around 100m active users by ´23 but ended up having around 114m.</p> <h2><strong>Valuation</strong></h2> <p>As I mentioned earlier, analysts aren't expecting much growth, which makes sense. They can't hope that the new growth initiatives will work out great, we need to see proof before assigning higher top-line growth estimates. Therefore, I went with around 1% CAGR over the next decade for the base case. To give myself a range of possible outcomes, I also modeled a more optimistic case and a more conservative case. Below are those estimates and their respective CAGRs.</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/2/21/48589448-17085346652932022.png\"/></span></picture><figcaption><p>Revenue Assumptions (Author)</p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>In terms of margins and EPS, I went with conservative numbers too. Gross margins will see an improvement of around 200bps over the next decade, which I think is achievable. EPS will grow at around 2% on average just to be on the safer side, which will provide me with more room for error, and will act as more margin of safety. Below are those estimates.</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/2/21/48589448-17085346654907863.png\"/></span></picture><figcaption><p>Margins and EPS assumptions (Author)</p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>For the DCF model, I went with the company's WACC of around 7.3% as my discount rate and 1.5% as my terminal growth rate. Furthermore, I added another 15% discount to the intrinsic value calculation, just to be completely protected from the downside. With that said, SIRI's intrinsic value is around $3 a share, which means it is quite overvalued in my opinion, and would not be a good time to start a position right now.</p> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/2/21/48589448-17085346662941933.png\"/></span></picture><figcaption><p>Intrinsic Value (Author)</p></figcaption></figure></p> <h2><strong>Closing Comments</strong></h2> <p>From the perspective of a person who has no capital committed to the company, it is not a good time to start any position, therefore, I am assigning a hold rating, until it drops to around 3 bucks or the company is part of the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LFG.AU\">Liberty</a> Media Group already, as that company seems to be a better deal, with many analysts confirming it. I have not looked at the other company in detail, but all three ratings suggest either a buy or a strong buy.</p> <p>The company's share price has seen a lot of volatility and has underperformed in general. You could hope for another short squeeze again as we saw in mid-July '23, but that is not investing, and I don't see this happening anymore. I am staying away from the stock until I see how the transformation evolves in the near future, as I would like to see how well the rebranding and refocus will do.</p> <div></div> <p>The competition is very fierce and will take a lot of effort to appeal to the younger audience and regain market share, if that is even possible. The unique content that the company offers is appealing and could pivot itself more toward that niche of podcasts and more original content, but that content truly has to be unique and the only place top find it would on this platform.</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 provides 400 channels, where you can listen to ad-free music, talk shows, and live play-by-play sports coverage of all major sports leagues.

The company's streaming app just started rolling out in December of last year and is gaining traction and its Pandora streaming service is losing market share to the big streaming platforms like Spotify (SPOT), Apple Music (AAPL), and YouTube Music (GOOG).

The ratio at the end of FY23 stood at around 4.8, so doesn't seem to have trouble paying its obligations. Furthermore, its cash from operations has been at around $2B, so that is a good cushion in my opinion. The company's current ratio is not the best. It has been operating with a current ratio of 0.3 for at least the last 5 years, so it may not be of any risk, because it's been like this for a while, and about half of those current liabilities are deferred revenues, which is revenue that is received but because of the company's subscription-based nature, not recognized as such because the subscriptions are annual usually. Current Ratio (Author) So far, in terms of liquidity and solvency, it's not looking particularly great, which means I will be aiming for a higher margin of safety when it comes to its valuation in the later section. Now, let's look at the company's efficiency and profitability in more detail. SIRI's GAAP margins have been relatively stable, with gross margins seeing a slight decrease over the last couple of years, while EBIT and net margins have performed better. It looks like the company is maintaining its efficiency relatively well, which is better than a declining trend. Margins (Author) Looking further at efficiency, the company's return on assets has been decent also throughout the years, hovering at around 12% and well above my minimum of 5%. It seems that the management is good at utilizing the company's assets. Furthermore, the company's return on total capital measures how well the management is allocating total capital to profitable projects. In other words, measures the company's profitability. I usually look for at least 10%, which tells me that the company has a strong moat and a competitive advantage. SIRI's ROTC stood at around 19% as of FY23, which is impressive. No point in comparing the company's ROTC to competitors since SIRI is the only major satellite radio provider out there right now. ROTC and ROA (SA) In terms of revenues, SIRI has done decently in the past, but ever since the competition of people's ears came out in the form of streaming with the likes of Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music, the growth has slowed down considerably, and it doesn't look like it'll be coming back anytime soon. Analysts are expecting around 1%-2% growth going forward, with -2% for FY24. The company needs to come up with some initiatives that would invigorate its top line. Revenue is stagnating (Author) Overall, the financials are somewhat of a mixed bag. The high debt figures balanced out with great cash flow and decent margins, but no growth in revenues. This mixed bag will demand a higher discount on the company's valuation model. Comments on the Outlook So, we don't know how long the company is going to survive in such a competitive market. The company needs to compete with juggernauts like the aforementioned Big Three for people's ears and it is not going to be easy. The audience is getting younger and more tech-savvy, which means everything needs to be advanced, and most will be using their phones to stream whatever they want to listen to. I'm not saying that there is no place for satellite radio in this world anymore, but it is getting harder and harder to maintain the market share. People in metropolitan areas are most likely will be using the streaming services that they must have been paying for years now. I've been using Spotify Premium since 2012 and I don't see this changing any time soon. Every time I am in my car, I connect to my Spotify account, and the only time that would fail is if I am on a long road trip where a network connection is non-existent. And even then, I had a large library of podcasts or albums downloaded because the radio stations were no good in my opinion. Many places are more rural and satellite radio comes in handy, so SIRI may maintain that niche until there is much better connectivity all around the globe, but the continual investment in satellites tells me that the company is still very positive about its future. The company's efforts of rebranding to appeal to the younger audiences are still in their very early stages and will need to prove it is going to take the market share away from the mentioned streaming giants, however, that is the initiative I like to see from a company that could have become extinct if it stays where it is. In my opinion, the streaming app is the only one that will matter in the end, and what sets SIRI apart from the other streaming platforms is the focus on the in-house production of shows. New shows with celebrities like John Mayer have done extremely well, as well as the world of podcasts is getting very popular globally, so I believe that further focus on this type of content will attract a certain group of people, a niche, that will be sustainable and profitable, but that is just my view on where the company should go because I don't think it is going to be easy to compete against the more established music streaming platforms out there. On top of that Spotify's extensive podcast library is also one big obstacle that SIRI needs to overcome if the company is going to go the route of original content creation. I don't believe listeners are quick to change which platform to use. I currently have YouTube Premium and yet I do not use YouTube Music as the app is just not what I'm used to. The time and effort put into the customization of my subscription on Spotify is too great even if another platform might be cheaper overall. I don't think I'm the only one on this. So, that is going to be a big challenge to overcome if SIRI is going to take market share away from established players like SPOT. Some services help with bringing your playlists across to other platforms, but I don't think they help with the customization that your current platform offers you via learning what you like to listen to and recommend something new to discover. In short, I may be biased, but the company will have to prove it can return to growth with its new streaming initiative to stay relevant and a strong competitor to the more established music streaming platforms that already take so much of people's listening time. The company's streaming platform Pandora has been very popular in the past and still boasts quite a lot of subscribers, however, according to Statista, which projected that the number of active users will fall to around 49m by '23, we can see from the report here that the number of active users is around 46m, so the company is losing users at a higher pace than originally modeled. By comparison, Spotify was projected to have around 100m active users by ´23 but ended up having around 114m. Valuation As I mentioned earlier, analysts aren't expecting much growth, which makes sense. They can't hope that the new growth initiatives will work out great, we need to see proof before assigning higher top-line growth estimates. Therefore, I went with around 1% CAGR over the next decade for the base case. To give myself a range of possible outcomes, I also modeled a more optimistic case and a more conservative case. Below are those estimates and their respective CAGRs. Revenue Assumptions (Author) In terms of margins and EPS, I went with conservative numbers too. Gross margins will see an improvement of around 200bps over the next decade, which I think is achievable. EPS will grow at around 2% on average just to be on the safer side, which will provide me with more room for error, and will act as more margin of safety. Below are those estimates. Margins and EPS assumptions (Author) For the DCF model, I went with the company's WACC of around 7.3% as my discount rate and 1.5% as my terminal growth rate. Furthermore, I added another 15% discount to the intrinsic value calculation, just to be completely protected from the downside. With that said, SIRI's intrinsic value is around $3 a share, which means it is quite overvalued in my opinion, and would not be a good time to start a position right now. Intrinsic Value (Author) Closing Comments From the perspective of a person who has no capital committed to the company, it is not a good time to start any position, therefore, I am assigning a hold rating, until it drops to around 3 bucks or the company is part of the Liberty Media Group already, as that company seems to be a better deal, with many analysts confirming it. I have not looked at the other company in detail, but all three ratings suggest either a buy or a strong buy. The company's share price has seen a lot of volatility and has underperformed in general. You could hope for another short squeeze again as we saw in mid-July '23, but that is not investing, and I don't see this happening anymore. I am staying away from the stock until I see how the transformation evolves in the near future, as I would like to see how well the rebranding and refocus will do.  The competition is very fierce and will take a lot of effort to appeal to the younger audience and regain market share, if that is even possible. The unique content that the company offers is appealing and could pivot itself more toward that niche of podcasts and more original content, but that content truly has to be unique and the only place top find it would on this platform.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":39,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":257180423073840,"gmtCreate":1703822180196,"gmtModify":1703822184521,"author":{"id":"3560400579582064","authorId":"3560400579582064","name":"Dirsett","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Share your opinion about this news…","listText":"Share your opinion about this news…","text":"Share your opinion about this news…","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/257180423073840","repostId":"2394123857","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2394123857","pubTimestamp":1703817769,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2394123857?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-12-29 10:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Could Alphabet Stock Help You Become a Millionaire?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2394123857","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Alphabet can potentially be one of the best-performing stocks in the market over an extended period.","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul style=\"\"><li><p>The company has several promising growth segments.</p></li><li><p>The combined power of improving margins and share buybacks will boost the stock.</p></li><li><p>Motley Fool Issues Rare “All In” Buy Alert</p></li></ul><p>Becoming a millionaire from a single stock is possible, although it isn&#39;t an advisable investing strategy.
