what SDNL is doing is called Market Consolidation. As Canada has legalized Marijuana like some decade ago(?), it leads to massive market entrance. Internationally it operates like a Bank in US exploiting the scenario legit banks can't loan to cannabis companies to fund their business - so it is the only "bank" monopolizing the entire US market hence it is reaching out to as many strategic targets as as many as it can. If a company can't repay, SNDL could seize the assets and potentially this is a very low cost acquisition - a strategic move to rapidly reduce market competition which leads to commanding betterprice (in 10 years maybe) hence its margin. By acquiring more assets it also expands its distribution channel and increases market reach. S

Is SNDL's Acquisition of Zenabis a Good Move for the Company?

electric vehicles account for two-thirds of all new cars sold within less than a decade likely won’t reach its goal, but that won’t matter for investors who play their cards right.</p><p>Shares of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla</a>, the electric-vehicle leader, and stock of EV followers <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/F\">Ford Motor </a> and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GM\">General

And there are other ways to play the EV trend no matter where EVs’ share of the market winds up in 2032.</p><p>The effort, which marks the third element in a push by President Joe Biden, is nothing if not aggressive, but it is likely to run into trouble in terms of its sheer costs. Consumers’ tastes and the need for charging infrastructure are additional challenges.</p><p>In August 2021, Biden got the U.S. car industry to agree that lifting EVs’ share of new-car sales to 50% by 2030 was doable. A year later, Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act, which included tax credits for people who buy EVs. The latest move came Wednesday, when the Environmental Protection Agency proposed strict emission standards for the 2027 to 2032 vehicle model years.</p><p>Car companies will have to sell far more zero-emission vehicles to comply.</p><p>The auto industry’s initial reaction runs along the lines of “Hey, what gives?” Car makers seeking to meet the 50% goal are already investing hundreds of billions of dollars in developing EVs and building capacity to crank out batteries and assemble the cars.</p><p>That is the first hurdle to the EPA/Biden EV plan. Auto makers’ capital is limited, while a new assembly plant, tooling, and a battery facility with capacity to make roughly 500,000 EVs a year costs roughly $8 billion. It also takes a couple of years to complete that infrastructure and ramp up output.</p><p>Hitting Biden’s 50% EV goal requires roughly $120 billion in capital spending dedicated to EVs. The 67% goal calls for about $160 billion.</p><p>The extra $40 billion might not seem like a stretch, but the auto industry doesn’t exactly print money. The entire industry, outside of China, generates about $200 billion in cash from operations in a good year. It spends roughly half that on new plants and equipment.</p><p>The $100 billion includes markets outside of the U.S., and most of the money goes to support car companies’ existing businesses. If auto makers don’t renew their products, they can suddenly find themselves with no cash flow to fund capital projects.</p><p>Investors might assume that capital for new lithium or copper capacity could be a hurdle too, but that isn’t really the case. Lithium demand, and production, would need to increase roughly sixfold instead of fivefold over the coming decade to meet a more aggressive adoption goal.</p><p>That would cost only another $5 billion to $8 billion in capital—significant money but not a staggering amount. The mining industry is a lot smaller than the auto industry and the material is available to be dug up.</p><p>Investors might also assume that regulations are what determine EV adoption rates, but the historical record points in another direction. While EVs were on sale before Tesla, no one really cared. The Model 3 brought popular EVs to the masses, with sales of about 3.5 million Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, built on the same platform, over the life of the program.</p><p>It took Tesla about five years to do that, from mid-2017 to early 2023. Between 2010 and 2020, Nissan (7201. Japan) sold about 500,000 Leaf EVs around the globe, meaning that Tesla sold 7.5 times the vehicles in half the time.</p><p>The point is that consumer buy what they like. EVs will only represent 50% or 67% of new car sales if they are better cars.</p><p>Things are trending in that direction, but there is some distance to go. Today, EVs cost a little more up front, but they are cheaper to maintain and power. Batteries are getting cheaper; a decline of roughly 40% from today’s levels would mean EVs cost the same as internal-combustion cars.</p><p>“Cheap batteries are important, but adequate recharging infrastructure is probably a more important issue in terms of adoption,” said Nicholas Colas, a co-founder of DataTrek Research and former auto analyst.</p><p>Charging is the third hurdle. According to Colas, the average American drives about twice as much as the average European, so the U.S. will need more EV chargers that Western Europe.</p><p>Investors shouldn’t get too wound up about the 67% goal. “The more relevant thing is what do [EPA rules] do to the rate of change,” said Baird auto analyst Luke Junk.</p><p>Junk says a faster shift toward EVs is possible, which would be a good thing for parts suppliers that support the EV transition. Aptiv (APTV), TE Connectivity (TEL) and BorgWarner (BWA), he said, are suppliers that will do fine at a slower EV adoption pace and better if adoptions accelerates. He rates shares of all three at Buy.</p><p>Junk also raised some potential unintended consequences of the EPA goal.</p><p>For one, more investment to make more EVs faster will leave less capital available for developing self-driving cars. That is a negative for commuters who want to text and drive.</p><p>There is a positive too. More EVs in the U.S. would mean the U.S. moves closer to European regulations.

And there are other ways to play the EV trend no matter where EVs’ share of the market winds up in 2032.The effort, which marks the third element in a push by President Joe Biden, is nothing if not aggressive, but it is likely to run into trouble in terms of its sheer costs. Consumers’ tastes and the need for charging infrastructure are additional challenges.In August 2021, Biden got the U.S. car industry to agree that lifting EVs’ share of new-car sales to 50% by 2030 was doable. A year later, Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act, which included tax credits for people who buy EVs. The latest move came Wednesday, when the Environmental Protection Agency proposed strict emission standards for the 2027 to 2032 vehicle model years.Car companies will have to sell far more zero-emission vehicles to comply.The auto industry’s initial reaction runs along the lines of “Hey, what gives?” Car makers seeking to meet the 50% goal are already investing hundreds of billions of dollars in developing EVs and building capacity to crank out batteries and assemble the cars.That is the first hurdle to the EPA/Biden EV plan. Auto makers’ capital is limited, while a new assembly plant, tooling, and a battery facility with capacity to make roughly 500,000 EVs a year costs roughly $8 billion. It also takes a couple of years to complete that infrastructure and ramp up output.Hitting Biden’s 50% EV goal requires roughly $120 billion in capital spending dedicated to EVs. The 67% goal calls for about $160 billion.The extra $40 billion might not seem like a stretch, but the auto industry doesn’t exactly print money. The entire industry, outside of China, generates about $200 billion in cash from operations in a good year. It spends roughly half that on new plants and equipment.The $100 billion includes markets outside of the U.S., and most of the money goes to support car companies’ existing businesses. If auto makers don’t renew their products, they can suddenly find themselves with no cash flow to fund capital projects.Investors might assume that capital for new lithium or copper capacity could be a hurdle too, but that isn’t really the case. Lithium demand, and production, would need to increase roughly sixfold instead of fivefold over the coming decade to meet a more aggressive adoption goal.That would cost only another $5 billion to $8 billion in capital—significant money but not a staggering amount. The mining industry is a lot smaller than the auto industry and the material is available to be dug up.Investors might also assume that regulations are what determine EV adoption rates, but the historical record points in another direction. While EVs were on sale before Tesla, no one really cared. The Model 3 brought popular EVs to the masses, with sales of about 3.5 million Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, built on the same platform, over the life of the program.It took Tesla about five years to do that, from mid-2017 to early 2023. Between 2010 and 2020, Nissan (7201. Japan) sold about 500,000 Leaf EVs around the globe, meaning that Tesla sold 7.5 times the vehicles in half the time.The point is that consumer buy what they like. EVs will only represent 50% or 67% of new car sales if they are better cars.Things are trending in that direction, but there is some distance to go. Today, EVs cost a little more up front, but they are cheaper to maintain and power. Batteries are getting cheaper; a decline of roughly 40% from today’s levels would mean EVs cost the same as internal-combustion cars.“Cheap batteries are important, but adequate recharging infrastructure is probably a more important issue in terms of adoption,” said Nicholas Colas, a co-founder of DataTrek Research and former auto analyst.Charging is the third hurdle. According to Colas, the average American drives about twice as much as the average European, so the U.S. will need more EV chargers that Western Europe.Investors shouldn’t get too wound up about the 67% goal. “The more relevant thing is what do [EPA rules] do to the rate of change,” said Baird auto analyst Luke Junk.Junk says a faster shift toward EVs is possible, which would be a good thing for parts suppliers that support the EV transition. Aptiv (APTV), TE Connectivity (TEL) and BorgWarner (BWA), he said, are suppliers that will do fine at a slower EV adoption pace and better if adoptions accelerates. He rates shares of all three at Buy.Junk also raised some potential unintended consequences of the EPA goal.For one, more investment to make more EVs faster will leave less capital available for developing self-driving cars. That is a negative for commuters who want to text and drive.There is a positive too. More EVs in the U.S. would mean the U.S. moves closer to European regulations. Uniformity in both markets would save the industry some money.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":496,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9957663300,"gmtCreate":1677222236601,"gmtModify":1677222240031,"author":{"id":"3560899449318624","authorId":"3560899449318624","name":"EdwardLe","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f447673cbc2ea8e60c5dca962cfa9680","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3560899449318624","authorIdStr":"3560899449318624"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"don't buy.

Though Aurora claims to be on track for positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), this isn't the same as becoming profitable or generating positive cash flow.

What follows are three pot stocks investors would be wise to avoid like the plague in 2023.Aurora CannabisThe first marijuana stock that has no business being in investors' portfolios in the new year is Canadian licensed producer Aurora Cannabis (ACB -3.46%).It's almost hard to believe that just four years ago Aurora Cannabis was talked about as potentially becoming an international weed juggernaut, with peak production capacity (assuming all 15 of its properties were built out) of more than 600,000 kilograms of dried flower per year. Of course, with hindsight being what it is, investors now know that Aurora Cannabis grossly overestimated domestic and export demand.Some of Aurora's growing pains aren't its own doing.

Shareholders have no chance to thrive when a company is burning cash and burying them under newly-issued shares.With Aurora Cannabis once again at risk of needing a reverse split to avoid delisting from the Nasdaq exchange, it has all the hallmarks of a pot stock to avoid in 2023.SNDLThe second pot stock that investors would be wise to avoid like the plague in 2023 is SNDL (SNDL -2.55%), the company that was known as Sundial Growers until this past July.SNDL, like Aurora, is a Canadian cannabis company that had visions of grandeur following the legalization of recreational weed in October 2018.

Although Canopy has a strategic plan to enter the U.S. via acquisitions and divest some of its Canadian retail operations, the logistics of such a move could take a long time to play out.In short, Canopy Growth is stuck with Canada's underperforming, hypercompetitive, low-margin-driven adult-use cannabis industry.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":378,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9922455550,"gmtCreate":1671834421070,"gmtModify":1676538600435,"author":{"id":"3560899449318624","authorId":"3560899449318624","name":"EdwardLe","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f447673cbc2ea8e60c5dca962cfa9680","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3560899449318624","authorIdStr":"3560899449318624"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9922455550","repostId":"2293595962","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2293595962","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1671803134,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2293595962?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-23 21:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Equity Funds Record Largest Ever Weekly Outflows -BofA","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2293595962","media":"Reuters","summary":"LONDON, Dec 23 (Reuters) - Investors shed stocks at the highest weekly rate ever in the week to Wedn","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>LONDON, Dec 23 (Reuters) - Investors shed stocks at the highest weekly rate ever in the week to Wednesday, selling a net $41.9 billion of equities, according to a report from BofA Global Research on Friday that attributed the sell-off to tax-related purposes.</p><p>U.S. value funds and passive equities also recorded record weekly net outflows, of $17.2 billion and $27.8 billion respectively, the bank said.</p><p>BofA said &#34;tax loss harvesting&#34; was behind the record outflows, a strategy that involves selling assets at a loss to offset capital gains taxes.</p><p>Investors also reduced their cash holdings by a net $59.5 billion, the biggest drop since February 2022, and sold the largest quantity of investment grade and high yield bonds in nine weeks.</p><p>Local emerging market bonds drew their first net inflow since April, while emerging market equities recorded a third week of inflows, adding a net $3.2 billion.</p><p>The sell-off in equity holdings came in a week where investors were rattled by the Bank of Japan&#39;s surprise monetary policy tweak on Tuesday.</p><p>With an historic approach of ultra-low interest rates, deflationary Japan has set the &#39;floor&#39; for global rates for the past 30 years, BofA said, adding that this floor would now be higher with the planned end of the BoJ&#39;s yield-curve control in 2023.</p><p>As a result, the bank&#39;s analysts said they preferred commodities over credit, &#39;rest of the world&#39; stocks over U.S. stocks, and small (caps) over large.

As for the size of any February rate hike, Powell said the decision will be based on incoming data, like Friday’s figures and others for December to be released throughout next month.</p><p>“It seems reasonable to expect people to become more cautious, now that they have run down about half of their accumulated pandemic savings, and labor market conditions are softening,” Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said in a note.</p><p>While he sees consumption expanding at a robust pace in the current quarter, “we would be amazed if that pace is repeated in the first quarter of next year,” Shepherdson said.</p><p>The median estimates in a Bloomberg survey of economists were for a 0.2% advance in the core PCE price index and a 0.1% gain in inflation-adjusted spending. US stock futures fluctuated in early trading while Treasury yields bounced higher.</p><h2>Consumer Weakness</h2><p>The report indicates that consumers lost momentum last month amid higher interest rates and elevated inflation. While the strength of the jobs market and rising wages have bolstered household spending, Americans are tapping into savings and leaning more on credit cards, raising the question of whether consumers will be able to continue to drive economic growth through 2023.</p><p>The saving rate ticked up to 2.4% in November, the first increase since July but among the lowest readings on record, the Commerce Department report showed.</p><p>Inflation-adjusted outlays for merchandise dropped 0.6%, the worst since February, while spending on services rose 0.3%.</p><p>Many economists expect the US to fall into recession within the next year, but the outlook remains highly uncertain. That said, economic activity has generally accelerated in the second half of the year. Data out Thursday showed gross domestic product rose an annualized 3.2% in the third quarter, higher than previously estimated.</p><h2>Wage Gains</h2><p>Rising wages and lower gas prices gave many Americans the wherewithal to keep spending in November. Inflation-adjusted disposable income rose 0.3%. Wages and salaries, unadjusted for prices, were up 0.5% for a second month.</p><p>Sustained wage gains, particularly in service sectors, could keep inflation persistently higher than the Fed’s goal for some time, underscoring the importance of the labor market to officials’ decision-making in the months ahead.</p><p>More generally, economists expect the PCE price indexes to decelerate slower than the Labor Department’s consumer price index. By the end of next year, Fed officials anticipate core PCE inflation to be around 3.5%.</p><p>In addition to the softer consumer spending figures, a separate report showed more moderate demand for business equipment. Orders placed with US manufacturers for non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft rose 0.2% in November after a sharp downward revision to the prior month, according to Commerce Department. Total bookings for durable goods sank 2.1%, the most since April 2020. The data aren’t adjusted for inflation.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1584095487587","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>Key Inflation Gauge Cools, US Consumer Spending Misses Forecasts</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\">\nKey Inflation Gauge Cools, US Consumer Spending Misses Forecasts\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-12-23 23:20 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-23/us-core-pce-inflation-cools-consumer-spending-misses-forecasts?srnd=premium><strong>Bloomberg</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Excluding food and energy, prices rose 0.2% in NovemberInflation-adjusted spending stagnated, dragged down by goodsThe Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measures eased in November while consumer ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-23/us-core-pce-inflation-cools-consumer-spending-misses-forecasts?srnd=premium\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite",".DJI":"道琼斯",".SPX":"S&P 500 Index"},"source_url":"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-23/us-core-pce-inflation-cools-consumer-spending-misses-forecasts?srnd=premium","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1197125826","content_text":"Excluding food and energy, prices rose 0.2% in NovemberInflation-adjusted spending stagnated, dragged down by goodsThe Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measures eased in November while consumer spending stagnated, suggesting the central bank’s interest-rate hikes are helping to cool both price pressures and broader demand — with more tightening on the way.The personal consumption expenditures price index excluding food and energy, which Fed Chair Jerome Powell has stressed is a more accurate measure of where inflation is heading, rose 0.2% in November from a month earlier, Commerce Department data showed Friday.

As for the size of any February rate hike, Powell said the decision will be based on incoming data, like Friday’s figures and others for December to be released throughout next month.“It seems reasonable to expect people to become more cautious, now that they have run down about half of their accumulated pandemic savings, and labor market conditions are softening,” Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said in a note.While he sees consumption expanding at a robust pace in the current quarter, “we would be amazed if that pace is repeated in the first quarter of next year,” Shepherdson said.The median estimates in a Bloomberg survey of economists were for a 0.2% advance in the core PCE price index and a 0.1% gain in inflation-adjusted spending. US stock futures fluctuated in early trading while Treasury yields bounced higher.Consumer WeaknessThe report indicates that consumers lost momentum last month amid higher interest rates and elevated inflation. While the strength of the jobs market and rising wages have bolstered household spending, Americans are tapping into savings and leaning more on credit cards, raising the question of whether consumers will be able to continue to drive economic growth through 2023.The saving rate ticked up to 2.4% in November, the first increase since July but among the lowest readings on record, the Commerce Department report showed.Inflation-adjusted outlays for merchandise dropped 0.6%, the worst since February, while spending on services rose 0.3%.Many economists expect the US to fall into recession within the next year, but the outlook remains highly uncertain. That said, economic activity has generally accelerated in the second half of the year. Data out Thursday showed gross domestic product rose an annualized 3.2% in the third quarter, higher than previously estimated.Wage GainsRising wages and lower gas prices gave many Americans the wherewithal to keep spending in November. Inflation-adjusted disposable income rose 0.3%. Wages and salaries, unadjusted for prices, were up 0.5% for a second month.Sustained wage gains, particularly in service sectors, could keep inflation persistently higher than the Fed’s goal for some time, underscoring the importance of the labor market to officials’ decision-making in the months ahead.More generally, economists expect the PCE price indexes to decelerate slower than the Labor Department’s consumer price index. By the end of next year, Fed officials anticipate core PCE inflation to be around 3.5%.In addition to the softer consumer spending figures, a separate report showed more moderate demand for business equipment. Orders placed with US manufacturers for non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft rose 0.2% in November after a sharp downward revision to the prior month, according to Commerce Department. Total bookings for durable goods sank 2.1%, the most since April 2020. The data aren’t adjusted for inflation.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":441,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9922452299,"gmtCreate":1671834117811,"gmtModify":1676538600396,"author":{"id":"3560899449318624","authorId":"3560899449318624","name":"EdwardLe","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f447673cbc2ea8e60c5dca962cfa9680","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3560899449318624","authorIdStr":"3560899449318624"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"So Apple stock is cheap now and might go cheaper","listText":"So Apple stock is cheap now and might go cheaper","text":"So Apple stock is cheap now and might go cheaper","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":12,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9922452299","repostId":"2293551384","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2293551384","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1671809458,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2293551384?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-23 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple: 3 Compelling Reasons To Invest In 2023","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2293551384","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryAmid macro concerns and supply disruptions, Apple has delivered a negative total return of 24","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>Summary</h2><ul><li>Amid macro concerns and supply disruptions, Apple has delivered a negative total return of 24% so far in 2022.</li><li>Supply challenges caused by Covid-19 related disruptions and semiconductor shortages will likely ease further in 2023.</li><li>Going forward, growth from services is expected to outpace product sales.</li><li>Apple&#39;s industry-leading margins are a testament to the strength of its brand and its loyal customer base.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/db66623bcd1945c607ab6f0d56b4ef0c\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"500\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Diego Thomazini/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p><p>Like many in the tech sector, <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL) has been affected by the more challenging macroeconomic environment in 2022. Year-to-date, investors have seen a negative total return of 24% from Apple’s stock, amid concerns about lingering supply chain disruptions and the growing risk of a hard landing for the economy in the coming year.</p><p>Despite the challenges, however, Apple looks well-prepared for a comeback in 2023. And here are three compelling reasons why.</p><h2>End In Sight For Covid-19 Related DisruptionSupply Disruption</h2><p>Supply challenges caused by Covid-19 related disruptions and an industry-wide semiconductor shortage continued to impact Apple&#39;s ability to meet customer demand for its products in 2022. More trouble could be yet to come, as Apple warned in November about lower iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone Pro Max shipments, following Covid-related labor shortages which have disrupted production at Foxconn’s main iPhone assembly facility in Zhengzhou, China.</p><p>But in an effort to improve supply chain resilience, Apple is diversifying its supply chain beyond China. With more production shifting to India and Vietnam and increased procurement from the US, Taiwan and elsewhere, the company will in future be better protected from localized manufacturing risks, as well as trade and geopolitical tensions.</p><p>The supply issues aren’t over yet, but the end is clearly in sight. As chip makers have ramped up production to meet demand, silicon-related supply constraints have already eased significantly during the course of the year. The supply position for iPads and MacBook Pro, which had been considerably constrained throughout most of 2021 and during the first half of 2022, has also improved significantly since then.</p><p>Moreover, with China now moving away from its zero-Covid policy, pandemic-related supply disruption issues may soon finally be no more. Things might get a little worse in the short term, as rising infections temporarily exacerbate existing supply challenges and Covid-related labor shortages. In the longer term, however, the benefits will rack up - as a shift away from strict social controls and unsustainable ‘closed-loop’ manufacturing operations will eventually lead to an enduring improvement in the supply situation.</p><h2>Demand Recovery</h2><p>The same could be said on the demand side too. In the short term, there will be a hit to consumer spending, as people across China choose to stay at home either because they have become unwell with Covid or are trying to avoid catching the virus. After a couple of months though, a return to normality should eventually lead to higher economic activity, and in particular, increased consumer spending.</p><p>We’ve seen the same pattern across the globe as other countries have abandoned their strict Covid-containment strategies and learned to live with the virus. Pent-up demand and an improvement in consumer confidence, driven by better job security and increased employment opportunities, would likely lead to a resurgence in Apple’s sales growth in China too.</p><p>Demonstrating the recent depressed demand, Apple’s sales growth in Greater China, which includes Hong Kong and Taiwan, slowed to just 9% in the year to September 24, 2022, down from 70% in 2021. This was largely attributable to macro factors, as Apple extended its market share lead in its most important market - premium smartphones. In the $600-plus smartphone space, its market share rose to 70% in China in the second quarter of 2022, up from 58% in Q1, according to data from market research firm IDC.</p><p>And while a recovery may only be noticeable from the second half of 2023, it’s important to remember that investor sentiment usually improves before the temporary disruption is over - as investors will likely anticipate a recovery before it actually takes place.</p><h2>Service Revenue OpportunityiOS Services and Apple TV+</h2><p>Although product sales generate a substantial majority of revenues, it’s clear that services are of growing importance to Apple’s growth.</p><p>Of course, the opportunity from services is inextricably linked to the size of its user base - things from the App store and other related services simply cannot sell well unless people are spending time on the company’s devices. But that doesn’t mean revenue from services won’t continue to outpace product sales - as demand for digital content, sold through its App Store, Apple Music and other digital content stores, is expected to hold up well in a still rapidly expanding market.</p><p>Services are a higher margin business too - Apple generated a gross margin of 71.7% from services in 2022, compared to 36.3% for device products. Looking ahead, recent price increases on Apple Music, TV+ and its One bundle will likely drive revenue growth and further margin improvement in coming quarters. These pricing changes were only announced in late October, and have yet to show up in its latest financial results.</p><p>On the downside, competition and regulatory risks, particularly those relating to its App Store, is a potential headwind. The proposed EU Digital Markets Act could force Apple to open up the distribution of apps on iOS devices.</p><p>The potential impact to Apple’s bottom line would likely be limited, however, as the proportion of users opting to purchase products from other sources is expected to be very small. As we can see from Android users, who can already install apps outside of Google’s Play Store, only a small minority of users actually choose to take advantage of the extra competition, due to network effects, security concerns and sticky behavioral patterns. This reflects a &#39;winner takes all&#39; market that demonstrates the value of scale in attracting customers and developers alike.</p><h2>Advertising &amp; Fintech</h2><p>Beyond this, Apple is looking to exploit growth in other services. It has a growing presence in the mobile advertising market - Apple Search Ads on its App Store is a relatively new entrant that has great potential. Its ads business has seen particularly strong growth, at a time when its competitors have been negatively affected by the introduction of its privacy changes last year, namely Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework. And going forwards, there’s scope for more ad placements in more of its iOS apps, such as Music, Books, Fitness and Podcasts, as well as on its Apple TV+ streaming service.</p><p>Apple is looking at opportunities to grow in the financial technology (fintech) space too. Apple Pay, its mobile payments service, is currently its biggest success, but its ambitions do not rest there. The company partnered with Goldman Sachs to launch Apple Card in 2019, and has plans to launch Apple Pay Later - a buy now pay later (BNPL) service that directly competes with the likes of Klarna (KLAR), Affirm (AFRM) and Afterpay.</p><p>The global fintech market is projected to grow by a compound annual rate of about 25% over the next five years, and reach a market value of approximately $324 billion by 2026.</p><h2>Improving Margins</h2><p>Finally, improving margins is another reason to be bullish on Apple. The company’s industry-leading margins are a testament to the strength of its brand and its loyal customer base. It gives the company an element of revenue visibility that other businesses simply don&#39;t have.</p><p>And such is Apple&#39;s wide moat that the company enjoys strong pricing power - which continues to deliver for its gross margin. It has enabled the company to hike prices not only for services, which were discussed above, but also for its products. Higher prices for its iPhone 14 devices were seen in a number of markets outside of the US and China, as the company sought to offset FX headwinds from the stronger dollar.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><b>Gross margin</b></td><td><b>2022</b></td><td><b>2021</b></td><td><b>2020</b></td></tr><tr><td>Products</td><td>36.3%</td><td>35.3%</td><td>31.5%</td></tr><tr><td>Services</td><td>71.7%</td><td>69.7%</td><td>66.0%</td></tr><tr><td><b>Total</b></td><td><b> 43.3%</b></td><td><b> 41.8%</b></td><td><b> 38.2%</b></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: Apple&#39;s 2022 Annual Report</p><p>Apple’s gross margin has increased by 150 basis points over the past year, to 43.3%. This reflected stronger margins for both products and services, as well as a favorable shift in the revenue mix towards higher margin services.</p><p>Widening margins benefit Apple’s bottom line as it enables earnings growth to outpace revenue growth. This combined with the benefit of stock buybacks, which reduces Apple’s share count and further raises its earnings per share.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha_fund","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Year-to-date, investors have seen a negative total return of 24% from Apple’s stock, amid concerns about lingering supply chain disruptions and the growing risk of a hard landing for the economy in the coming year.Despite the challenges, however, Apple looks well-prepared for a comeback in 2023. And here are three compelling reasons why.End In Sight For Covid-19 Related DisruptionSupply DisruptionSupply challenges caused by Covid-19 related disruptions and an industry-wide semiconductor shortage continued to impact Apple's ability to meet customer demand for its products in 2022. More trouble could be yet to come, as Apple warned in November about lower iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone Pro Max shipments, following Covid-related labor shortages which have disrupted production at Foxconn’s main iPhone assembly facility in Zhengzhou, China.But in an effort to improve supply chain resilience, Apple is diversifying its supply chain beyond China.

Pent-up demand and an improvement in consumer confidence, driven by better job security and increased employment opportunities, would likely lead to a resurgence in Apple’s sales growth in China too.Demonstrating the recent depressed demand, Apple’s sales growth in Greater China, which includes Hong Kong and Taiwan, slowed to just 9% in the year to September 24, 2022, down from 70% in 2021. This was largely attributable to macro factors, as Apple extended its market share lead in its most important market - premium smartphones.

capital requirement of about S$330 million on OCBC Bank for its deficiencies in responding to a wave of spoofed SMS phishing scams in December 2021.</p><p>This additional capital requirement is part of the regulatory capital which MAS requires all banks to hold.

In addition, Federal Open Market Committee members indicated that “a restrictive stance of policy may well become appropriate depending on the evolving economic outlook and the risks to the outlook.”</p><p>The May 3-4 session saw the rate-setting FOMC approve the half percentage point cut and lay out a plan, starting in June, to reduce the central bank’s $9 trillion balance sheet consisting mostly of Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities.</p><p>That was the biggest rate increase in 22 years and came as the Fed is trying to pull down inflation running at a 40-year high.</p><p>Market pricing currently sees the Fed moving to a policy rate around 2.5%-2.75% by the end of the year, which would be consistent with where many central bankers view a neutral rate. Statements in the minutes, though, indicate that the committee is prepared to go beyond there.</p><p>“All participants reaffirmed their strong commitment and determination to take the measures necessary to restore price stability,” the meeting summary stated.</p><p>“To this end, participants agreed that the Committee should expeditiously move the stance of monetary policy toward a neutral posture, through both increases in the target range for the federal funds rate and reductions in the size of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet,” it continued.</p><p>On the balance sheet issue, the plan will be to allow a capped level of proceeds to roll off each month, a number that will reach $95 billion by August, including $60 billion Treasurys and $35 billion for mortgages. The minutes further indicate that outright sale of MBS is possible, with notice of that happening well in advance.</p><p>The minutes mentioned inflation 60 times, with members expressing concern about rising prices even amid confidence that Fed policy and the easing of several contributing factors, such as supply-chain problems, combined with tighter monetary policy would help the situation. On the other hand, officials noted that the war in Ukraine and the Covid-associated lockdowns in China would exacerbate inflation.</p><p>At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell took the unusual step of addressing the American public directly to stress the central bank’s commitment to taming inflation.
