Arm had marketed the shares for $47 to $51 each.Arm was setting aside more than $700 million of the stock in the IPO to be bought by some of its biggest customers, including Intel Corp., Apple Inc., Nvidia Corp., Samsung Electronics Co. and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.The offering is being led by Barclays Plc, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Mizuho Financial Group Inc. Raine Securities LLC is also acting as financial adviser in connection with the IPO.The biggest IPO this yearThe IPO is the world’s biggest this year, surpassing the $4.37 billion listing by Johnson & Johnson consumer health spinoff Kenvue Inc. Arm’s IPO could also be a catalyst for IPOs from dozens of tech startups and other companies whose plans to go public in the US have been stuck during the deepest, longest listing trough since the financial crisis in 2009.Online grocery-delivery firm Instacart Inc., marketing and data automation provider Klaviyo, Vietnam-based internet startup VNG Ltd. and footwear maker Birkenstock Holding Ltd. have all filed to go public.SoftBank, which acquired Arm seven years ago for $32 billion, has helped grow the chip designer and change its business model.Arm — which is a key part of the chip supply chain, designing semiconductors found in most of the world’s smartphones — earlier had sought to be valued at $60 billion to $70 billion in the IPO. SoftBank’s Vision Fund transaction valued Arm at more than $64 billion, based on Arm’s filings.Arm’s target valuation reflects a belief that it will benefit from the stampede toward artificial intelligence chips and generative AI — an industry shift that has helped give Nvidia a market value of more than $1.1 trillion.New Street Research analyst Pierre Ferragu picked up coverage of Arm on Wednesday with a Buy rating and a $59 target price. He estimates Arm will be worth $82 billion in 2026, based on a multiple of 27 times royalty revenue and 40 times pretax earnings, with royalty revenue growing in the midteens annually during that period.Ubiquitous ChipsThough Arm’s technology is used in almost every smartphone, it isn’t well-known among consumers. Arm sells the blueprints needed to design microprocessors, and licenses technology known as instruction sets that dictate how software programs communicate with those chips. The power efficiency of Arm’s technology helped make it ubiquitous on phones, where battery life is critical.Rene Haas, who took over as Arm’s chief executive officer last year, is working to expand beyond the smartphone market, which has stagnated in recent years. He’s setting his sights on more advanced computing, particularly the chips for data centers and AI applications. Processors for that market are among the most expensive — and profitable — in the industry.To keep pace with AI developments, companies will need the right chips to run complex software. Arm says that every processor it designs will accelerate the AI and machine learning technology it helps power. Its processors already run those technologies, and the company has started adding new functionality to make the algorithms work faster.Arm’s revenue fell about 1% to $2.68 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, according to its filings. The company’s net income, which jumped to $549 million in fiscal year 2022 from $388 million the previous year, fell this year to $524 million.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":516,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":219454510391432,"gmtCreate":1694597154990,"gmtModify":1694597157833,"author":{"id":"3560929247961996","authorId":"3560929247961996","name":"Fredteh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61eaccb8085fb08c692502d98314f43d","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3560929247961996","authorIdStr":"3560929247961996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

(NASDAQ:TSLA) had what many would consider a very strong quarter in quite a while, as TSLA inQ4 2022beat on revenue and earnings without as much ludicrous commentary as usual from Elon Muskon the earnings call. Investors responded favorably, adding +25% to the stock price over the past five trading sessions. We value the business at $195/share and expect upside on new announcements and ongoing execution absent any material shortages for supplies in the supply chain. TSLA&#39;s solid performance in the afterhours session continued into Thursday’s trading session for an additional +10% gain, bringing the BEV (battery electric vehicle) maker&#39;s market cap to $500 billion.</p><p>We value TSLA stock using a mix of adjusted EBITDA and P/E multiples on FY &#39;25 revenue of $222 billion, and anticipate an additional 20% upside, maybe more depending on hype/optimism tied to productroadmap and deliveries. Tesla reported Q4 ‘22 revenue of $24.32 billion versus consensus $24.16 billion, and adjusted dil. EPS of $1.19 versus $1.13, beating estimates by 5.3%.</p><p>We noted a drop in profitability, which was driven by lower ASPs, but the announcement of some higher margin categories like the Tesla Cybertruck and Tesla Semi Truck makes us extremely optimistic that the net profit margin erosion won’t be as severe, even with volume car production on Model 3/Y putting pressure on average selling prices.</p><p>We also liked that Elon Musk referenced the Cybertruck on theQ4 2022 earnings call:</p><blockquote>“Yes, Cybertruck will have Hardware 4. And to be clear, for 2023, Cybertruck will not be a significant contributor to the bottom line but it will be into next year.”</blockquote><p>So, Cybertruck is on track, and Rivian Automotive, Inc. (RIVN) finally has to meet its electric competitor in 2023.</p><h2>Investment thesis summary</h2><p>We anticipate that there’s a compelling case for why Tesla could deliver 1.8 million to 2 million cars in 2023. Tesla is not as supply constrained, and production is starting to normalize reducing the shortages experienced at the onset of the pandemic. TSLA’s gaining share on pricing and new customer adoption, with market penetration at a low enough base to suggest a material vehicle opportunity, which is reflected in our analysis.</p><p>Figure 1. Vehicle production capacity<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3aa2a58f569deda95f2eb98c38a2df94\" tg-width=\"598\" tg-height=\"626\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Tesla(Tesla)</p><p>Elon Musk expects 1.8 million car deliveries, but with ramp-up of various facilities, and some announced production/volume gains within existing production sites, there’s a bias towards 200k volume beat, which we embed in our model to help capture any delivery surprises on heightened demand due to gas price sensitivity and electric vehicle credits.</p><p>We anticipate production surprises going forward, and production ramp-up to scale to levels of conventional automakers using purely BEV technologies. Value-added components like autonomous driving keeping the ASPs higher even at larger volumes by 2025.</p><p>We anticipate that our profit forecast becomes conservative, as TSLA doesn’t have many of the legacy costs of other vehicle OEMs tied to pensions, and has a more established/efficient production line in the BEV space to sustain better profitability. We also anticipate Tesla to make a leap on profitability when battery technologies improve and the cost of battery cells reduces the bill of materials even further.</p><p>Figure 2. Summary of financial model<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b556d67740fae163d6761f496ae7502b\" tg-width=\"777\" tg-height=\"471\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Analysis by Trade Theory(Trade Theory)</p><p>We recommend TSLA and provide a $195 Price Target, implying 22% upside from current levels. While we don’t enjoy the CEOs character or attitude in public or his comments on Twitter, we cannot deny that the business is positioned for substantial growth, as we value TSLA using a blend of historical growth based multiples, tech EV/EBITDA multiples, and average the value on FY’ 25 estimated adjusted dil. EPS of $9.30. We then discount our assumption by 9.5% or firm’s WACC (weighted average cost of capital) to then arrive at a $195 price target.</p><p>We expect the company to grow sales to $222 billion on 4.5 million vehicle deliveries at an average selling price of $49 thousand dollars, which translates to a business that will be valued at $1.2 trillion by 2025. Absent any material changes to the business like the merger and combination of various businesses… there’s realistically no path to achieving a $4-$5 trillion valuation over the next 3-5 years.</p><h2>What is Elon Musk trying to communicate?</h2><p>We find ourselves stumped right now; how does Elon Musk anticipate that he’s going to eclipse two of the biggest companies on earth and ignore his closest competitors, all whilegetting questionedin court within the same week, regarding the separate incident of his tweet announcing taking the company private at $420 per share with the help of the Saudi fund (a deal which later got revealed to be preliminary rather than “secured”). Twitter users polled would much rather have a different owner than Elon Musk.</p><p>It’s almost comical at this point, because it’s almost as bad as watching an entire nation of fans sour on a sports team owner and request a change in ownership, except there’s hardly anyone on planet earth that could afford to buy such a large tech company, let alone pry it from the second-richest person on earth after he pried it away from Jack Dorsey. The bird stays in Elon’s portfolio, and we expect the portfolio to come together in some sort of death star construction.</p><h2>We think Elon Musk is absolutely serious about eclipsing both companies in value</h2><p>Now some might have skipped this part of an earlier earnings call, laughed, or something. But, Elon Musk envisions the companybecoming bigger than Appleand Saudi Aramco combined on a market capitalization basis in the future. He literally said that on Q3 ‘22 earnings, and then he never mentioned anything about it again on the Q4 ‘22 earnings call.</p><p>After the shakedown in the courthouse, we’re not surprised that he’s not making such wild statements on the Q4 ‘22 earnings call. And as a consequence, the stock does better as a result by rallying +5% in the after hour session following Wednesday’s earnings announcement at close.</p><p>If we combine Apple Inc. (AAPL) at $2.25 trillion, and Saudi Aramco at $1.94 trillion, it would combine to a $4.19 trillion market cap. At present, Tesla’s market capitalization is $500 billion, which implies that his sales pitch this year is quite simple: the company will increase in value from $500 billion to $4.2 trillion in total market capitalization.</p><p>On his path to $4.2 trillion, Musk’s gone on to denounce every competitor by failing to even acknowledge that a distant number two even exists. We think the distant number 2 automaker is Lucid Group, Inc. (LCID), but then again, maybe Elon’s right, and we’re wrong, who knows?</p><p>What Elon Musk has said for the past two quarters makes uschuckle a little:</p><blockquote>George Gianarikas from Canaccord Genuity asks Elon Musk, I&#39;m curious how you see the current competitive landscape changing over the next few years. And who do you see as your chief competitors five years from now?”</blockquote><blockquote>Elon Musk responds, “Five years is a long time. As with the Tesla order part, AI team, until late last night and just we&#39;re just asking guys like, so who do we think is close to Tesla with -- a general solution for self-driving? And we still don&#39;t even know who would even be a distant second. So, yes, it really seems like we&#39;re -- I mean, right now, I don&#39;t think you could see a second place with a telescope, at least we can&#39;t. So, that wouldn&#39;t last forever. So, in five years, I don&#39;t know, probably somebody has figured it out. I don&#39;t think it&#39;s any of the car companies that we&#39;re aware of. But I&#39;m just guessing that someone might be right out eventually, so yes.”</blockquote><p>So, Apple shareholders, and Tim Cook, have to somehow acknowledge that Elon Musk and Tesla Inc. is going to eclipse them in value, but Elon Musk can’t point to anyone else catching up to Tesla Inc. and his path to global dominance? The CEO is unwilling to admit outright what an analyst is suggesting indirectly as a means of reaching such a crazy goal.</p><p>Elon Musk and George Glanarikas from last quarter,Q3 ‘22 earnings call, from Seeking Alpha transcripts:</p><blockquote>George Gianarikas from Canaccord Genuity, “And just as a follow-up, this is for Elon. With your pending acquisition of Twitter and your stakes in SpaceX and Neuralink and Tesla, how much would the combined companies benefit from operating under a single super structure, if at all, like a Google Alphabet?”</blockquote><blockquote>To which Elon Musk eagerly tries to deny the possibility of the mega merger, “It’s not clear to me what the overlap is. It’s not zero, but it’s -- I think we’re reaching. I’m not worried about it. I’m not an investor. I’m an engineer, a manufacturing person and a technologist. So, I actually work and design and develop products. That’s what I do. So, it’s not a -- we’re not going to have a portfolio sort of investments over it. So, I don’t know. I don’t see obvious sort of some -- get combined under an umbrella, at least right now.”</blockquote><p>Now, keep in mind, both AAPL and Aramco are likely to grow in value at the average S&amp;P 500 Index (SP500) growth rate at minimum, so not only does Tesla have to overshoot the $4.2 Trillion number, but also account for the growth rate of both companies. So, if $4.2 trillion has a return rate of 12% for the 10-year period, Tesla Motors would need to reach a valuation of $13 Trillion assuming those two companies continue to grow in-line with the S&amp;P 500 average.</p><h2>How does Tesla Inc. reach $13 Trillion in value over the next 10 years?</h2><p>Elon Musk could assemble his entire portfolio of businesses that he’s built or advised on to become a super conglomerate. If Tesla were to combine all the entities it would mirror the Death Star construction from<i>Star Wars Episode 6,</i>with a rebel faction of DOJ regulators, the last holdout from stopping global domination.</p><p>And we don’t mean this in sarcastic humor, but really that’s the only hint we’ve got at $500 billion appreciating to $13 trillion over the course of 10 years. If Elon Musk does decide to merge everything into a conglomerate and takes a backseat like Warren Buffett (Berkshire), Bill Gates (Microsoft), Tim Cook (Apple), Sundar Pichai (Google), Jeff Bezos (Amazon)… it would look as good or bad as the picture we carefully assembled below.</p><p>Figure 3. The Empire Might Strike Back…</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7686caf1259019b4a429c2118e1616f7\" tg-width=\"853\" tg-height=\"578\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image is author’s interpretation of current events(Trade Theory Illustration)</span></p><p>This sounds a bit crazier than the usual Elon Musk we’ve come to know over the years. But, let’s roll with the punches here, because about 6 or 7 years ago, somebody laughed on a conference call when he said Tesla was going to reach $700 billion and ended up with an $800 billion peak valuation. We’re not going to make that mistake; instead we’re going to try and entertain the super genius&#39;s craziness with our crazy interpretation of what he’s thinking.</p><p>We have a hard time imagining how Tesla, Inc. on its own amounts to the valuation growth needed to satisfy the $14 trillion value we estimate is needed to eclipse the combined value of Apple and Saudi Aramco by 2033. It almost sounds way too ambitious by most measures, but if we think carefully about the ramifications of Elon Musk combining the separate businesses he’s built into a sort of superstructure, it would benefit one person primarily: Elon Musk. Which is why we don’t believe the comments he made to the analyst about not wanting to assemble a portfolio.</p><p>Now, if you think about the way the businesses are structured right now, they offer no immediate synergies, and some would argue that they perform better as separate companies. But, it also limits investors to separately traded vehicles, and those businesses are linked to Elon Musk. Apple wouldn’t be as valuable of a company without diversifying into more products and categories inclusive of services and even payment technologies, music, and entertainment.</p><h2>Value of a super Tesla entity at present?</h2><p>When we look at the validity of merging into a super structure, we think it makes sense for a number of reasons.</p><p><b>1) Scale.</b>TSLA’s market opportunity in vehicles, though large, represents saturation risk at some point in the future.</p><p>Figure 4. Consolidated value of Elon Musk involved businesses<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d46a2e6b6e7318357810796d2c9a75c3\" tg-width=\"417\" tg-height=\"287\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>estimate by Trade Theory(Trade Theory)</p><p>If TSLA goes conglomerate, it would compose a number of opportunities like social networking, payment technology, neuro technology, space exploration and mining, space broadband, online auction marketplace, government computing contracts, and so forth.</p><p>2)<b>Unique portfolio</b>has substantial synergies due to founder and board level cooperation to ensure consolidation as all the businesses are related to Elon Musk.</p><p>3)<b>Space exploration</b>extremely valuable, with SpaceX valued at $137 billion, and expansion into biotech extremely valuable with Neuralink representing more than $10 billion market cap opportunity on medical device technologies. When combined with the existing or former publicly traded companies, PayPal (PYPL),eBay.com(EBAY), Palantir (PLNT) and Twitter (TWTR) the consolidated enterprise value could at some point compete with and exceed the combined value of AAPL and Aramco, though it would take an aggressive growth rate of 30% off the base of 9 or 10 different companies combined into a single entity.</p><h2>Never doubt Elon Musk</h2><p>Though we might come across as playful and sarcastic, perhaps we want to pride ourselves on seeing around corners as to what happens next. While we like the organic growth metrics, and the projected run rate to an eventual production volume of 5 million to 10 million vehicles making BEVs reach production scale similar to the big 3 autos in America, we see that scenario valuing Tesla, Inc. stock at $195/share currently with a path of beats taking us past $200 per share this year.</p><p>Profitability is driven by the higher ASPs and consumers conforming to a more inflationary/higher priced environment. Even with those assumptions, we factor about +20% upside, maybe more upside on some expectation beats throughout the year. M&amp;A activity could increase the size of the business at some point, and we think TSLA will combine businesses as the BEV business starts to mature and becomes less profitable.</p><p>Tesla, Inc. stock already carries significant upside.

(NASDAQ:TSLA) had what many would consider a very strong quarter in quite a while, as TSLA inQ4 2022beat on revenue and earnings without as much ludicrous commentary as usual from Elon Muskon the earnings call. Investors responded favorably, adding +25% to the stock price over the past five trading sessions. We value the business at $195/share and expect upside on new announcements and ongoing execution absent any material shortages for supplies in the supply chain. TSLA's solid performance in the afterhours session continued into Thursday’s trading session for an additional +10% gain, bringing the BEV (battery electric vehicle) maker's market cap to $500 billion.We value TSLA stock using a mix of adjusted EBITDA and P/E multiples on FY '25 revenue of $222 billion, and anticipate an additional 20% upside, maybe more depending on hype/optimism tied to productroadmap and deliveries. Tesla reported Q4 ‘22 revenue of $24.32 billion versus consensus $24.16 billion, and adjusted dil. EPS of $1.19 versus $1.13, beating estimates by 5.3%.We noted a drop in profitability, which was driven by lower ASPs, but the announcement of some higher margin categories like the Tesla Cybertruck and Tesla Semi Truck makes us extremely optimistic that the net profit margin erosion won’t be as severe, even with volume car production on Model 3/Y putting pressure on average selling prices.We also liked that Elon Musk referenced the Cybertruck on theQ4 2022 earnings call:“Yes, Cybertruck will have Hardware 4. And to be clear, for 2023, Cybertruck will not be a significant contributor to the bottom line but it will be into next year.”So, Cybertruck is on track, and Rivian Automotive, Inc. (RIVN) finally has to meet its electric competitor in 2023.Investment thesis summaryWe anticipate that there’s a compelling case for why Tesla could deliver 1.8 million to 2 million cars in 2023. Tesla is not as supply constrained, and production is starting to normalize reducing the shortages experienced at the onset of the pandemic. TSLA’s gaining share on pricing and new customer adoption, with market penetration at a low enough base to suggest a material vehicle opportunity, which is reflected in our analysis.Figure 1. Vehicle production capacityTesla(Tesla)Elon Musk expects 1.8 million car deliveries, but with ramp-up of various facilities, and some announced production/volume gains within existing production sites, there’s a bias towards 200k volume beat, which we embed in our model to help capture any delivery surprises on heightened demand due to gas price sensitivity and electric vehicle credits.We anticipate production surprises going forward, and production ramp-up to scale to levels of conventional automakers using purely BEV technologies. Value-added components like autonomous driving keeping the ASPs higher even at larger volumes by 2025.We anticipate that our profit forecast becomes conservative, as TSLA doesn’t have many of the legacy costs of other vehicle OEMs tied to pensions, and has a more established/efficient production line in the BEV space to sustain better profitability. We also anticipate Tesla to make a leap on profitability when battery technologies improve and the cost of battery cells reduces the bill of materials even further.Figure 2. Summary of financial modelAnalysis by Trade Theory(Trade Theory)We recommend TSLA and provide a $195 Price Target, implying 22% upside from current levels. While we don’t enjoy the CEOs character or attitude in public or his comments on Twitter, we cannot deny that the business is positioned for substantial growth, as we value TSLA using a blend of historical growth based multiples, tech EV/EBITDA multiples, and average the value on FY’ 25 estimated adjusted dil. EPS of $9.30. We then discount our assumption by 9.5% or firm’s WACC (weighted average cost of capital) to then arrive at a $195 price target.We expect the company to grow sales to $222 billion on 4.5 million vehicle deliveries at an average selling price of $49 thousand dollars, which translates to a business that will be valued at $1.2 trillion by 2025. Absent any material changes to the business like the merger and combination of various businesses… there’s realistically no path to achieving a $4-$5 trillion valuation over the next 3-5 years.What is Elon Musk trying to communicate?We find ourselves stumped right now; how does Elon Musk anticipate that he’s going to eclipse two of the biggest companies on earth and ignore his closest competitors, all whilegetting questionedin court within the same week, regarding the separate incident of his tweet announcing taking the company private at $420 per share with the help of the Saudi fund (a deal which later got revealed to be preliminary rather than “secured”). Twitter users polled would much rather have a different owner than Elon Musk.It’s almost comical at this point, because it’s almost as bad as watching an entire nation of fans sour on a sports team owner and request a change in ownership, except there’s hardly anyone on planet earth that could afford to buy such a large tech company, let alone pry it from the second-richest person on earth after he pried it away from Jack Dorsey. The bird stays in Elon’s portfolio, and we expect the portfolio to come together in some sort of death star construction.We think Elon Musk is absolutely serious about eclipsing both companies in valueNow some might have skipped this part of an earlier earnings call, laughed, or something. But, Elon Musk envisions the companybecoming bigger than Appleand Saudi Aramco combined on a market capitalization basis in the future. He literally said that on Q3 ‘22 earnings, and then he never mentioned anything about it again on the Q4 ‘22 earnings call.After the shakedown in the courthouse, we’re not surprised that he’s not making such wild statements on the Q4 ‘22 earnings call. And as a consequence, the stock does better as a result by rallying +5% in the after hour session following Wednesday’s earnings announcement at close.If we combine Apple Inc. (AAPL) at $2.25 trillion, and Saudi Aramco at $1.94 trillion, it would combine to a $4.19 trillion market cap. At present, Tesla’s market capitalization is $500 billion, which implies that his sales pitch this year is quite simple: the company will increase in value from $500 billion to $4.2 trillion in total market capitalization.On his path to $4.2 trillion, Musk’s gone on to denounce every competitor by failing to even acknowledge that a distant number two even exists. We think the distant number 2 automaker is Lucid Group, Inc. (LCID), but then again, maybe Elon’s right, and we’re wrong, who knows?What Elon Musk has said for the past two quarters makes uschuckle a little:George Gianarikas from Canaccord Genuity asks Elon Musk, I'm curious how you see the current competitive landscape changing over the next few years. And who do you see as your chief competitors five years from now?”Elon Musk responds, “Five years is a long time. As with the Tesla order part, AI team, until late last night and just we're just asking guys like, so who do we think is close to Tesla with -- a general solution for self-driving? And we still don't even know who would even be a distant second. So, yes, it really seems like we're -- I mean, right now, I don't think you could see a second place with a telescope, at least we can't. So, that wouldn't last forever. So, in five years, I don't know, probably somebody has figured it out. I don't think it's any of the car companies that we're aware of. But I'm just guessing that someone might be right out eventually, so yes.”So, Apple shareholders, and Tim Cook, have to somehow acknowledge that Elon Musk and Tesla Inc. is going to eclipse them in value, but Elon Musk can’t point to anyone else catching up to Tesla Inc. and his path to global dominance? The CEO is unwilling to admit outright what an analyst is suggesting indirectly as a means of reaching such a crazy goal.Elon Musk and George Glanarikas from last quarter,Q3 ‘22 earnings call, from Seeking Alpha transcripts:George Gianarikas from Canaccord Genuity, “And just as a follow-up, this is for Elon. With your pending acquisition of Twitter and your stakes in SpaceX and Neuralink and Tesla, how much would the combined companies benefit from operating under a single super structure, if at all, like a Google Alphabet?”To which Elon Musk eagerly tries to deny the possibility of the mega merger, “It’s not clear to me what the overlap is. It’s not zero, but it’s -- I think we’re reaching. I’m not worried about it. I’m not an investor. I’m an engineer, a manufacturing person and a technologist. So, I actually work and design and develop products. That’s what I do. So, it’s not a -- we’re not going to have a portfolio sort of investments over it. So, I don’t know. I don’t see obvious sort of some -- get combined under an umbrella, at least right now.”Now, keep in mind, both AAPL and Aramco are likely to grow in value at the average S&P 500 Index (SP500) growth rate at minimum, so not only does Tesla have to overshoot the $4.2 Trillion number, but also account for the growth rate of both companies. So, if $4.2 trillion has a return rate of 12% for the 10-year period, Tesla Motors would need to reach a valuation of $13 Trillion assuming those two companies continue to grow in-line with the S&P 500 average.How does Tesla Inc. reach $13 Trillion in value over the next 10 years?Elon Musk could assemble his entire portfolio of businesses that he’s built or advised on to become a super conglomerate. If Tesla were to combine all the entities it would mirror the Death Star construction fromStar Wars Episode 6,with a rebel faction of DOJ regulators, the last holdout from stopping global domination.And we don’t mean this in sarcastic humor, but really that’s the only hint we’ve got at $500 billion appreciating to $13 trillion over the course of 10 years. If Elon Musk does decide to merge everything into a conglomerate and takes a backseat like Warren Buffett (Berkshire), Bill Gates (Microsoft), Tim Cook (Apple), Sundar Pichai (Google), Jeff Bezos (Amazon)… it would look as good or bad as the picture we carefully assembled below.Figure 3. The Empire Might Strike Back…Image is author’s interpretation of current events(Trade Theory Illustration)This sounds a bit crazier than the usual Elon Musk we’ve come to know over the years. But, let’s roll with the punches here, because about 6 or 7 years ago, somebody laughed on a conference call when he said Tesla was going to reach $700 billion and ended up with an $800 billion peak valuation. We’re not going to make that mistake; instead we’re going to try and entertain the super genius's craziness with our crazy interpretation of what he’s thinking.We have a hard time imagining how Tesla, Inc. on its own amounts to the valuation growth needed to satisfy the $14 trillion value we estimate is needed to eclipse the combined value of Apple and Saudi Aramco by 2033. It almost sounds way too ambitious by most measures, but if we think carefully about the ramifications of Elon Musk combining the separate businesses he’s built into a sort of superstructure, it would benefit one person primarily: Elon Musk. Which is why we don’t believe the comments he made to the analyst about not wanting to assemble a portfolio.Now, if you think about the way the businesses are structured right now, they offer no immediate synergies, and some would argue that they perform better as separate companies. But, it also limits investors to separately traded vehicles, and those businesses are linked to Elon Musk. Apple wouldn’t be as valuable of a company without diversifying into more products and categories inclusive of services and even payment technologies, music, and entertainment.Value of a super Tesla entity at present?When we look at the validity of merging into a super structure, we think it makes sense for a number of reasons.1) Scale.TSLA’s market opportunity in vehicles, though large, represents saturation risk at some point in the future.Figure 4. Consolidated value of Elon Musk involved businessesestimate by Trade Theory(Trade Theory)If TSLA goes conglomerate, it would compose a number of opportunities like social networking, payment technology, neuro technology, space exploration and mining, space broadband, online auction marketplace, government computing contracts, and so forth.2)Unique portfoliohas substantial synergies due to founder and board level cooperation to ensure consolidation as all the businesses are related to Elon Musk.3)Space explorationextremely valuable, with SpaceX valued at $137 billion, and expansion into biotech extremely valuable with Neuralink representing more than $10 billion market cap opportunity on medical device technologies. When combined with the existing or former publicly traded companies, PayPal (PYPL),eBay.com(EBAY), Palantir (PLNT) and Twitter (TWTR) the consolidated enterprise value could at some point compete with and exceed the combined value of AAPL and Aramco, though it would take an aggressive growth rate of 30% off the base of 9 or 10 different companies combined into a single entity.Never doubt Elon MuskThough we might come across as playful and sarcastic, perhaps we want to pride ourselves on seeing around corners as to what happens next. While we like the organic growth metrics, and the projected run rate to an eventual production volume of 5 million to 10 million vehicles making BEVs reach production scale similar to the big 3 autos in America, we see that scenario valuing Tesla, Inc. stock at $195/share currently with a path of beats taking us past $200 per share this year.Profitability is driven by the higher ASPs and consumers conforming to a more inflationary/higher priced environment. Even with those assumptions, we factor about +20% upside, maybe more upside on some expectation beats throughout the year. M&A activity could increase the size of the business at some point, and we think TSLA will combine businesses as the BEV business starts to mature and becomes less profitable.Tesla, Inc. stock already carries significant upside. Near-term opportunities tied to the car business, energy storage, financing, and insurance should provide enough meat for shareholders over the next 12 months. But, over a longer time frame, people will begin to wonder if Tesla can reach a value that’s in excess of Apple and Aramco.So, if Elon says it’s possible, then who are we to say it’s not? Instead, we opted to match his craziness, as we reassert our positive stance on Tesla, Inc. throughout the entirety of this article.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":249,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9952406183,"gmtCreate":1674864875542,"gmtModify":1676538962908,"author":{"id":"3560929247961996","authorId":"3560929247961996","name":"Fredteh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61eaccb8085fb08c692502d98314f43d","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3560929247961996","authorIdStr":"3560929247961996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/LU\">$Lufax(LU)$ </a>&nbsp;Good to hold","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/LU\">$Lufax(LU)$ </a>&nbsp;Good to hold","text":"$Lufax(LU)$ Good to hold","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/8b225340c359c2067fe3271a50cb57bb","width":"1080","height":"2182"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9952406183","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":343,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9952584270,"gmtCreate":1674820857191,"gmtModify":1676538960710,"author":{"id":"3560929247961996","authorId":"3560929247961996","name":"Fredteh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61eaccb8085fb08c692502d98314f43d","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3560929247961996","authorIdStr":"3560929247961996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/LU\">$Lufax(LU)$ &nbsp;</a>","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/LU\">$Lufax(LU)$ &nbsp;</a>","text":"$Lufax(LU)$","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/6bf3140cc064a8c33b8fb48ffe20829d","width":"1080","height":"2182"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9952584270","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":262,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9905227632,"gmtCreate":1659912553128,"gmtModify":1703767465889,"author":{"id":"3560929247961996","authorId":"3560929247961996","name":"Fredteh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61eaccb8085fb08c692502d98314f43d","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3560929247961996","authorIdStr":"3560929247961996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good to hold","listText":"Good to hold","text":"Good to hold","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9905227632","repostId":"2257529196","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2257529196","pubTimestamp":1659844698,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2257529196?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-07 11:58","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alphabet Shows Once Again Why It Is the Best FAANG Stock to Own","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2257529196","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Investing for the future didn't prevent another solid earnings report.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Late last week, we saw many FAANG stocks report their second-quarter results. These are some of the most consequential companies in determining where the broad market will head over the next three to five years.</p><p>While stalwarts like <b>Amazon</b> and <b>Apple</b> pleased investors with their earnings, I was most interested in how <b>Alphabet</b>-- Google&#39;s parent company -- is performing with its advertising business in the middle of a slowing economy. And boy, did the company deliver.</p><p>Here&#39;s why its second-quarter earnings show once again why Alphabet is the best FAANG stock to own right now.</p><h2>Second-quarter earnings: Search is still king</h2><p>Alphabet reported its second-quarter results on July 26 for the three months ending in June. Revenue grew 16% year over year in constant currency to $69.7 billion. The majority of this growth came from Google Search, which is still the majority of Alphabet&#39;s business, even in 2022. The segment generated $40.7 billion in revenue last quarter, up from $35.8 billion a year ago (a 13% jump).</p><p>Even with consumers around the world transitioning from buying durable goods during the pandemic to spending on travel and experiences, Google Search is still a big part of their lives -- and therefore advertisers&#39; lives.</p><p>Contrast these results with the other digital advertising giant, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a></b>, parent of Facebook and Instagram. It saw revenue <i>decline</i> by 1% year over year in the second quarter due to various factors, including operating system privacy changes from Apple and increased competition from ByteDance&#39;s TikTok.</p><p>Unlike other digital advertising businesses, Google (especially Search) faces minimal legitimate competition, making it less likely to be disrupted. While this could be a concern from an antitrust standpoint, it leaves the business on rock-solid footing even if we head into a recession.</p><h2>Cloud losses and &#34;other bets&#34; mask profitability</h2><p>Alphabet&#39;s operating income was $19.5 billion in the second quarter for an impressive 28% operating margin. But this masks the true profitability of Alphabet&#39;s core Google businesses. If we only look at Google Services, the segment generated $22.8 billion in operating income on $62.8 billion in revenue for an operating margin of 36% -- much higher than what Alphabet&#39;s consolidated numbers suggest.</p><p>So where are the losses coming from? That would be Google Cloud and its &#34;other bets&#34; segment. Google Cloud is a competitor to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and is growing quickly. Revenue hit $6.3 billion in the second quarter, up 36% year over year, but the segment had an operating loss of $858 million.</p><p>Given how profitable AWS has become at scale, investors should expect Google Cloud to start generating positive operating income within the next three to five years.</p><p>Other bets is Alphabet&#39;s division for moonshot projects or highly speculative bets on emerging technologies. These include projects like Waymo (self-driving cars) and DeepMind (artificial intelligence research). The segment only did $193 million in revenue last quarter and had an operating loss of $1.69 billion, contributing to the majority of the difference between Google Services&#39; operating income and Alphabet&#39;s consolidated earnings power.</p><p>The profit potential for these segments (especially other bets) is hard to forecast compared to Google Search, but there are very few businesses that can fund billions of losses a year for new high-growth ventures while still generating tons of cash for shareholders. This gives Alphabet optionality and a scale advantage versus almost every other company.</p><h2>Valuation and share repurchases</h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cf29c95c7ca82867cfb548c5011c93e8\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"449\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>GOOG free cash flow. Data by YCharts.</p><p>Perhaps the best part of Alphabet stock right now is that investors can buy shares in this dominant company at a reasonable price. At a current market cap of $1.5 trillion, it has an enterprise value of $1.36 trillion when you subtract its cash and marketable securities. Over the last 12 months, the company has generated $65 billion in free cash flow, giving the stock an enterprise value to free cash flow (EV/FCF) ratio of 21, or right around the market average.

These are some of the most consequential companies in determining where the broad market will head over the next three to five years.While stalwarts like Amazon and Apple pleased investors with their earnings, I was most interested in how Alphabet-- Google's parent company -- is performing with its advertising business in the middle of a slowing economy. And boy, did the company deliver.Here's why its second-quarter earnings show once again why Alphabet is the best FAANG stock to own right now.Second-quarter earnings: Search is still kingAlphabet reported its second-quarter results on July 26 for the three months ending in June. Revenue grew 16% year over year in constant currency to $69.7 billion. The majority of this growth came from Google Search, which is still the majority of Alphabet's business, even in 2022. The segment generated $40.7 billion in revenue last quarter, up from $35.8 billion a year ago (a 13% jump).Even with consumers around the world transitioning from buying durable goods during the pandemic to spending on travel and experiences, Google Search is still a big part of their lives -- and therefore advertisers' lives.Contrast these results with the other digital advertising giant, Meta Platforms, parent of Facebook and Instagram. It saw revenue decline by 1% year over year in the second quarter due to various factors, including operating system privacy changes from Apple and increased competition from ByteDance's TikTok.Unlike other digital advertising businesses, Google (especially Search) faces minimal legitimate competition, making it less likely to be disrupted. While this could be a concern from an antitrust standpoint, it leaves the business on rock-solid footing even if we head into a recession.Cloud losses and \"other bets\" mask profitabilityAlphabet's operating income was $19.5 billion in the second quarter for an impressive 28% operating margin. But this masks the true profitability of Alphabet's core Google businesses. If we only look at Google Services, the segment generated $22.8 billion in operating income on $62.8 billion in revenue for an operating margin of 36% -- much higher than what Alphabet's consolidated numbers suggest.So where are the losses coming from? That would be Google Cloud and its \"other bets\" segment. Google Cloud is a competitor to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and is growing quickly. Revenue hit $6.3 billion in the second quarter, up 36% year over year, but the segment had an operating loss of $858 million.Given how profitable AWS has become at scale, investors should expect Google Cloud to start generating positive operating income within the next three to five years.Other bets is Alphabet's division for moonshot projects or highly speculative bets on emerging technologies. These include projects like Waymo (self-driving cars) and DeepMind (artificial intelligence research). The segment only did $193 million in revenue last quarter and had an operating loss of $1.69 billion, contributing to the majority of the difference between Google Services' operating income and Alphabet's consolidated earnings power.The profit potential for these segments (especially other bets) is hard to forecast compared to Google Search, but there are very few businesses that can fund billions of losses a year for new high-growth ventures while still generating tons of cash for shareholders. This gives Alphabet optionality and a scale advantage versus almost every other company.Valuation and share repurchasesGOOG free cash flow. Data by YCharts.Perhaps the best part of Alphabet stock right now is that investors can buy shares in this dominant company at a reasonable price. At a current market cap of $1.5 trillion, it has an enterprise value of $1.36 trillion when you subtract its cash and marketable securities. Over the last 12 months, the company has generated $65 billion in free cash flow, giving the stock an enterprise value to free cash flow (EV/FCF) ratio of 21, or right around the market average. And this is while the company is investing heavily in Google Cloud and other bets, masking its true profitability.On top of this reasonable valuation, Alphabet has been pouring its excess cash into share repurchases (as you can see with the declining share count in the chart above). This will juice growth in FCF per share, the true determinant of shareholder returns over the long haul. Add this into the mix, and Alphabet is my favorite FAANG stock to buy right now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":528,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9901284299,"gmtCreate":1659225145511,"gmtModify":1676536272402,"author":{"id":"3560929247961996","authorId":"3560929247961996","name":"Fredteh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61eaccb8085fb08c692502d98314f43d","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3560929247961996","authorIdStr":"3560929247961996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/ARKK\">$ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK)$</a>&nbsp;The stock may pick up at later","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/ARKK\">$ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK)$</a>&nbsp;The stock may pick up at later","text":"$ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK)$ The stock may pick up at later","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/20ec51942f74adf4428707240b2a5740","width":"1080","height":"1920"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9901284299","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":380,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9901284363,"gmtCreate":1659225019652,"gmtModify":1676536272387,"author":{"id":"3560929247961996","authorId":"3560929247961996","name":"Fredteh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61eaccb8085fb08c692502d98314f43d","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3560929247961996","authorIdStr":"3560929247961996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/WMT\">$Wal-Mart(WMT)$</a>Good to hold for the moment.

Its association with the trending metaverse sent the stock soaring for much of its life as a public company, but thepast year has seen such bubbles pop in dramatic fashion. There is a saying that periods of irrational exuberance are followed by periods of irrational pessimism. That appears to be the case here, as the market is not looking beyond the near term headwinds facing the company in 2022. The future remains bright both for the company - and shareholders.</p><p><b>U Stock Price</b></p><p>U priced its IPO in late 2020 at $52 per share and peaked around $210 per share.

That growth was largely driven by 65% growth in Create Solutions revenue, which refers to the revenues earned for using the software. Operate Solutions revenue grew by only 26% - this refers to the revenue share agreements it has with its customers. U stated that this was due to monetization issues that hit the company in February and March. The company was not profitable in the quarter, losing $171.2 million on a GAAP basis and $23 million on a non-GAAP basis (excludes equity-based compensation).</p><p><b>Why Did Unity Stock Drop In Early May?</b></p><p>U gave the following guidance, which showed minimal growth in the second quarter and also lowered full-year guidance from $1.505 billion to only $1.425 billion in revenues.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/adc9db7c48fdaa2c02ed35ff59e0165d\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"148\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>2022 Q1 Press Release</span></p><p>That spooked Wall Street, as the stock crashed sharply after the earnings release.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/760587e8a0c593cdab544d575da8b562\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>The reduction in guidance was blamed on the aforementioned monetization issues. On the conference call, management stated that it expects roughly $110 million of net impact this year with 60% of that impact falling in the second quarter. Management also stated that they expect to be profitable in fiscal 2023, but that was not enough to prevent the brutal action in the stock price.</p><p><b>Is U Stock Expected To Keep Rising?</b></p><p>Wall Street analysts have remained bullish in spite of the near term headwinds. The average rating is 4.16 out of 5.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6fc27e69a11025b3f2cf301bf4f8065a\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"320\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>Price targets have come down since the quarter but the average price target of $82.65 still represents around 127% upside.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/18b9ea520f2b96edfadadd05a39aab2e\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>It is interesting to see price targets decline so dramatically as the tech sector falls. I expect price targets to rise once the tech sector rebounds.</p><p>Is U Stock A Buy During This Dip?</p><p>My view is that the current price weakness is a gift for long-term oriented investors. Management is quite confident that they can fix their monetization issues and bring advertisers back to their platform - my view is that they deserve the benefit of the doubt considering U’s place on the totem pole. For game developers, U is very much like the Apple (AAPL) app store in that it has tremendous leverage. On the call, management reiterated its expectation to sustain revenue growth “at or above 30% per year over the long term even as we gain scale.” With that in mind, the stock looks quite cheap here at 9x forward sales. The company does not have a material net cash position because it had spent $1 billion to acquire Weta Digital late last year. 9x sales might not sound so cheap, but the company’s ability to sustain a 30% growth rate for many years makes the valuation cheap when looking several years out. We can see consensus estimates for the next decade:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e7a311ec58414bb3aa77f96528c4c94c\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"290\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>The stock is priced at just 3.2x 2026e sales. I could see U sustaining at least 30% long term net margins as its business model has inherent operating leverage. Based on a conservative 1.5x price to earnings growth ratio (‘PEG ratio’), I could see U trading at 13.5x sales in 2026. That suggests 322% upside or 36% annualized over the next 4.5 years. This is a name which I expect to gain a steep premium relative to tech peers, with the main driving catalyst being a recovery in its monetization efforts. That means much of those returns could be front loaded as this is arguably one of the higher quality growth stories in the market today. The key risks here are twofold. First, it is possible that the company is unable to fix its monetization issues. I find such an event unlikely, but the possibility must be stated. Second, it is possible that its products lose relevance. Perhaps the metaverse does not meet expectations for growth - perhaps people stop using their smartphones so much. The bullish thesis is largely dependent on the long term growth rate, and that is predicated on the metaverse being an ever-growing secular story. I rate the stock a strong buy - this isn’t the cheapest name in the tech sector, but it has one of the higher quality growth stories around. I expect a quick rebound and strong returns over the long term. This is a name I have been buying for the Best of Breed portfolio.</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 Unity Stock A Buy During The Dip?

There is a saying that periods of irrational exuberance are followed by periods of irrational pessimism. That appears to be the case here, as the market is not looking beyond the near term headwinds facing the company in 2022. The future remains bright both for the company - and shareholders.U Stock PriceU priced its IPO in late 2020 at $52 per share and peaked around $210 per share. The stock has since crashed around 80%.Data by YChartsI last covered the stock in March when I called itbuyable,but noted better opportunities in the tech sector. I am now upgrading my rating and have purchased a stake myself.U Stock Key MetricsRecall that Unity is a real-time development platform, enabling 3D, AR, and VR development. Its software is used largely in modern games, but is also used across many other industries.UnityWe can see what the software looks like below - customers can use Unity software to visualize anything. There is a reason why Unity is so commonly associated with the metaverse - without Unity there is no metaverse.UnityIn the quarter, U generated 36% revenue growth to $320.1 million. That growth was largely driven by 65% growth in Create Solutions revenue, which refers to the revenues earned for using the software. Operate Solutions revenue grew by only 26% - this refers to the revenue share agreements it has with its customers. U stated that this was due to monetization issues that hit the company in February and March. The company was not profitable in the quarter, losing $171.2 million on a GAAP basis and $23 million on a non-GAAP basis (excludes equity-based compensation).Why Did Unity Stock Drop In Early May?U gave the following guidance, which showed minimal growth in the second quarter and also lowered full-year guidance from $1.505 billion to only $1.425 billion in revenues.2022 Q1 Press ReleaseThat spooked Wall Street, as the stock crashed sharply after the earnings release.Data by YChartsThe reduction in guidance was blamed on the aforementioned monetization issues. On the conference call, management stated that it expects roughly $110 million of net impact this year with 60% of that impact falling in the second quarter. Management also stated that they expect to be profitable in fiscal 2023, but that was not enough to prevent the brutal action in the stock price.Is U Stock Expected To Keep Rising?Wall Street analysts have remained bullish in spite of the near term headwinds. The average rating is 4.16 out of 5.Seeking AlphaPrice targets have come down since the quarter but the average price target of $82.65 still represents around 127% upside.Seeking AlphaIt is interesting to see price targets decline so dramatically as the tech sector falls. I expect price targets to rise once the tech sector rebounds.Is U Stock A Buy During This Dip?My view is that the current price weakness is a gift for long-term oriented investors. Management is quite confident that they can fix their monetization issues and bring advertisers back to their platform - my view is that they deserve the benefit of the doubt considering U’s place on the totem pole. For game developers, U is very much like the Apple (AAPL) app store in that it has tremendous leverage. On the call, management reiterated its expectation to sustain revenue growth “at or above 30% per year over the long term even as we gain scale.” With that in mind, the stock looks quite cheap here at 9x forward sales. The company does not have a material net cash position because it had spent $1 billion to acquire Weta Digital late last year. 9x sales might not sound so cheap, but the company’s ability to sustain a 30% growth rate for many years makes the valuation cheap when looking several years out. We can see consensus estimates for the next decade:Seeking AlphaThe stock is priced at just 3.2x 2026e sales. I could see U sustaining at least 30% long term net margins as its business model has inherent operating leverage. Based on a conservative 1.5x price to earnings growth ratio (‘PEG ratio’), I could see U trading at 13.5x sales in 2026. That suggests 322% upside or 36% annualized over the next 4.5 years. This is a name which I expect to gain a steep premium relative to tech peers, with the main driving catalyst being a recovery in its monetization efforts. That means much of those returns could be front loaded as this is arguably one of the higher quality growth stories in the market today. The key risks here are twofold. First, it is possible that the company is unable to fix its monetization issues. I find such an event unlikely, but the possibility must be stated. Second, it is possible that its products lose relevance. Perhaps the metaverse does not meet expectations for growth - perhaps people stop using their smartphones so much. The bullish thesis is largely dependent on the long term growth rate, and that is predicated on the metaverse being an ever-growing secular story. I rate the stock a strong buy - this isn’t the cheapest name in the tech sector, but it has one of the higher quality growth stories around. I expect a quick rebound and strong returns over the long term. This is a name I have been buying for the Best of Breed portfolio.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":154,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9026446302,"gmtCreate":1653432566606,"gmtModify":1676535278832,"author":{"id":"3560929247961996","authorId":"3560929247961996","name":"Fredteh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61eaccb8085fb08c692502d98314f43d","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3560929247961996","authorIdStr":"3560929247961996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good review of&nbsp;Apple","listText":"Good review of&nbsp;Apple","text":"Good review of Apple","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9026446302","repostId":"2237835951","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2237835951","pubTimestamp":1653384125,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2237835951?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-24 17:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple: This Is A Blessing For Dividend Growth Investors","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2237835951","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"SummaryIn this article, I start by explaining why I haven't added to Apple since last year using my ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>In this article, I start by explaining why I haven&#39;t added to Apple since last year using my macroeconomic view.</li><li>While stock price weakness isn&#39;t fun, investors can use better prices to get access to one of the best dividend growth stocks on the market.</li><li>Apple is sitting on a load of cash, and future high free cash flow will fuel both buybacks and dividend growth.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8c8c050cfb147c509947da8a7709b03d\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"500\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Feline Lim/Getty Images News</span></p><p><b>Introduction</b></p><p>I own one dividend growth stock that is officially part of the technology sector. That stock is <b>Apple Inc. (</b><b>NASDAQ:AAPL</b><b>)</b>. It&#39;s one of my favorite investments despite its somewhat subdued exposure in my portfolio and the fact that I rarely cover the stock. I have 3.7% of my portfolio in Apple, which is below my portfolio average of 4.3%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/40a49ae31038734f82bf7edfe90dc9b3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"321\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Author Portfolio</span></p><p>The reason why I haven&#39;t covered the stock since May 9, 2021, is the same reason why the stock is still way too small in my portfolio: macro developments. In this article, I will explain why Apple is doing so poorly after I wrote in 2021 that inflation would become a serious issue - especially with regard to the Federal Reserve&#39;s actions. However, while the current stock market isn&#39;t fun for long-only (long-term) investors, I&#39;m actually incredibly excited to see that Apple is doing so poorly. It provides us dividend growth investors with an opportunity to add at much better prices that will provide us with long-term opportunities to add substantial wealth to our portfolios. Apple is one of the stocks that need serious weakness to make sense for dividend growth investors.</p><p>In this article, I invite you to read my thoughts on macro, Apple, and my strategy in this market.</p><p>I will also explain why buying a very low yield makes sense for the &#34;average&#34; dividend investor.</p><p>So, let&#39;s get to it!</p><p><b>A Quick Look Back</b></p><p>Let&#39;s start with some transparency. I bought Apple in 2021 at an average price of $123.68. I haven&#39;t bought more shares since then for one big reason: I wasn&#39;t a fan of technology and &#34;growth&#34; stocks given the macro environment.</p><p>Last year, I wrote the following paragraph:</p><blockquote>When I say Apple&#39;s Achilles&#39; heel, I mean its sensitivity in times of rising inflation. I am not afraid of the competition potentially beating Apple long-term (i.e., Microsoft (MSFT)), and I am not afraid of recessions. While a recession will keep pressure on Apple for 1-2 years (on average), underperformance due to inflation is Apple&#39;s real enemy.</blockquote><p>Also, the following part applies here given what I&#39;m about to show you next:</p><blockquote>While highly speculative stocks get butchered, Apple is holding up very well as the company is what I consider to be the perfect mix of growth AND value. The company is not only expected to generate high growth in the future but also reward its investors already with massive buybacks and significant dividend hikes.</blockquote><p><b>Inflation &amp; Key Macro</b></p><p>Unfortunately, I was right as inflation did become a big issue. Consumer price inflation in the United States is now above 8%. The situation in key markets like Europe isn&#39;t much better as the reasons why inflation is high are similar in various economic &#34;hotspots.&#34;</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f60ef1a56fde1bce88cc43d9f09dd81e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"385\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>St. Louis Federal Reserve</span></p><p>It all started in 2020 when lockdowns hurt supply chains. Inventories were empty and demand imploded in various sectors/industries. Then, demand came back roaring, yet there was no way for supply to rebound just as quickly. It hurt global shipping, manufacturing input prices, commodity prices, and much more. These problems still aren&#39;t gone as China started to lock down its cities again. Right now, this is once again causing supply chain issues to worsen in US ports. Add to this that energy markets are seeing severe supply/demand imbalances as drillers aren&#39;t able or willing to increase production. Oil prices are above $100 despite Chinese lockdowns, economic growth fears, and an aggressive Federal Reserve.</p><p>Add to this the war in Ukraine and the (related) food crisis that is slowly weakening the consumer where it hurts most: in essential purchases.</p><p>Moreover, central banks blew up their balance sheets like there was no tomorrow in 2020. Between the start of 2020 and the end of 2021, major central banks (Fed, ECB, Bank of Japan, People&#39;s Bank of China) raised their combined assets from $21 trillion to more than $31 trillion.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1c3ac383ba9a99dd86c06e7a1d1c4672\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"391\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Yardeni Research, Inc</span></p><p>In other words, a decreasing number of goods (and services) due to supply chain issues were chased by an ever-increasing amount of cash. It supported stock prices, home values, crypto, NFTs, and pretty much everything else that was perceived to have value.</p><p>Fast forward to 2022 and we&#39;re in a situation where things are different. Inflation is high, supply chains are still broken, economic growth is slowing, and the Federal Reserve is expected to hike aggressively - in this case, while economic growth is weakening.</p><p>As my friend and macro expert Nick Glinsman wrote last week, the Fed could be even more aggressive to tame inflation than some expect right now.</p><blockquote>When thinking about the Federal Reserve&#39;s job in getting inflation down, we often talk about real rates as measured by TIPS. However, instead we should be thinking about the gap between the Fed Funds rate and the consumer price index. <b><i>This measurement, what I would call the &#34;real&#34; real rate, shows just how far we are from having a positive reading. It may be the case the amount of tightening needed to tame inflation is much greater than many realize. In fact, if the Fed were to ignore this measure, it risks throwing the economy into a recession without actually getting inflation under control.</i></b></blockquote><blockquote>Real 10-year rates measured by TIPS are just barely positive right now, whereas there&#39;s a much larger gap between US CPI at 8.3% and the Fed Funds rate at 1%. If you look at the last inflationary period during the 1980s, it took years of the Fed Funds rate exceeding CPI for the Paul Volcker-led Fed to bring inflation down durably.</blockquote><p>What this means is that the Fed Funds futures&#39; terminal rate estimate of 3.25% in March 2023 may not be enough to tame inflation. The Fed said it will keep raising rates until inflation falls towards its 2% target. As it&#39;s doubtful that inflation will fall to 3.25% by March, more aggressive hikes might be needed.</p><p>After all, a big part of inflation is caused by issues the Fed cannot influence. The Fed cannot solve the war in Ukraine, it cannot increase oil production, it cannot add labor supply, and it cannot convince China to refrain from implementing new lockdowns.</p><p>As a result, investors are de-risking their portfolios. The S&amp;P 500 is down roughly 18.2% from its all-time high including dividends. The ARK Innovation <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PSFF\">Pacer Swan SOS Fund of Funds ETF|ETF</a> (ARKK) is down 73% from its all-time high as investors have sold high-growth stocks. The tech-heavy QQQ ETF (QQQ) is down 28.4%. Apple has lost roughly a quarter of its value.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bf1db187341ca70bc3ac9712ed7b1a38\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>In other words, not only has Apple been one of the best performers since the pandemic, but it&#39;s also doing rather well during the ongoing pandemic - compared to stocks that also shined prior to the sell-off. However, the company is not the world&#39;s most valuable company anymore, as it has been overtaken by oil giant Saudi Aramco as reported by the Wall Street Journal.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b49573a475c5d3aa00023b64dc551840\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"167\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Wall Street Journal</span></p><p>With that said, I could not care less. If anything, I&#39;m very happy that Apple is down because I expected that inflation would hurt growth stocks.</p><p>On top of that, long-term investors should cheer on these buying opportunities as Apple is far more than a &#34;growth&#34; stock. As I wrote in 2021 and in this article, Apple is the perfect mix between growth and value. It helped the stock outperform the market in the past and it protects investors in times when pure-growth plays are getting butchered.</p><p>Over the past 10 years, Apple is still up more than 700% including dividends. That&#39;s more than twice the return of the S&amp;P 500.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/013294d2067837f9d7cb002dfe92a989\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>With that said, market turmoil is opening up new opportunities that I want to use given my rather low Apple exposure.</p><p><b>Apple&#39;s Growth &amp; Value</b></p><p>Not only did I rename my <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> account to Growth &amp; Value, but the growth and value approach is also the cornerstone of my dividend growth portfolio, which is roughly 95% of my entire net worth.</p><p>As the current market environment shows so well, the stocks that deliver both growth and value are the best performers. In this case, I consider &#34;value&#34; to be a company&#39;s ability to generate free cash flow used to maintain a healthy balance sheet and pay a growing dividend and the option to buy back shares. The &#34;growth&#34; aspect is straightforward as I dislike companies that are only able to pay a high yield without being able to grow, i.e., sales, EBITDA, and whatnot.</p><p>The graph below is important for what I&#39;m about to say next. I used this graph in a recent dividend growth-focused article as it shows that historically speaking companies with both growth and value have outperformed the (equal-weight) market by a mile. Dividend growers are not just providing a stream of cash for shareholders, but the fact that they are able to pay a growing dividend shows that their businesses are in a good place. Companies that paid a dividend without growth did also well, yet they underperformed growers by a mile.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0ce5f82c39538e470817e836cae2c445\" tg-width=\"1344\" tg-height=\"760\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Hartford Funds</span></p><p>Apple has consistently grown its dividend since 2012, when it initiated a dividend for the first time since 1995. Seeking Alpha rates Apple&#39;s dividend growth &#34;A+&#34; compared to its industry peers.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/08519cb0f5665a767133e4000b721ff9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"212\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>The current quarterly dividend is $0.23 per share after the company announced a 4.5% hike on April 28. This translates to $0.92 per year, which is a 0.67% yield based on a $138 stock price. This means the chart I used last year is relevant again (the one below). Back then, the yield was 0.68% based on a $130 stock price. It happens every now and then that dividend investors get upset when I give them a company with a yield of 0.7%. 0.7% isn&#39;t a lot, that&#39;s right. $10,000 invested in Apple will result in $70 annual dividends. That won&#39;t get you very far - and $10,000 is a lot of money to a lot of people.</p><p>Last year, the company hiked its dividend by 7.3%. In 2020, the company hiked by 6.5%. In 2019, the company hiked by 5.5%. Over the past 5 years, the average annual hike is 8.8%.</p><p>For the sake of simplicity, let&#39;s assume the company maintains long-term dividend growth of 10% (above its current average). That would result in a yield on cost of 4.2% in 2040. That&#39;s roughly 18 years from now.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7aa214bb0832816d9543aee8bfc0347d\" tg-width=\"1054\" tg-height=\"385\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Author</span></p><p>4.2% on cost ends up being $420 in dividends (based on the $10,000 example - without adding shares). I doubt that will get us very far in 2040.</p><p>So, why am I still so happy to discuss this dividend growth opportunity?</p><p>The key is that Apple will not become a high-yield stock anytime soon. Growth is high and Apple generates a LOT of free cash flow.</p><p>When Apple announced the aforementioned 4.5% dividend hike on April 28, it also announced a $90 billion increase to its existing buyback program.</p><p>This is what the company commented on its 2Q22 earnings call:</p><blockquote>Given the continued confidence we have in our business now and into the future, today our Board has authorized an additional $90 billion for share repurchases, as we maintain our goal of getting to net cash neutral, overtime. We&#39;re also raising our dividend by 5% to $0.23 a share and we continue to plan for annual increases in the dividend going forward.</blockquote><p>In that quarter, Apple bought back $22.9 billion worth of stock while returning $3.6 billion in dividends. In other words, the company&#39;s priority is obvious. It will distribute cash in the most tax-efficient way, which also benefits its bottom line. A lower number of shares outstanding equals higher earnings per share.</p><p>The graph below shows annual repurchases and dividends. Repurchases have exceeded $69 billion every single year since 2018.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7546779c8ff134551c0053e3cd707c06\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>TIKR.com</span></p><p>These buybacks allowed the company to reduce shares outstanding from 20.9 billion in 2017 to 16.7 billion at the end of 2021. That&#39;s a decline of 20% or roughly 4.4% per year.</p><p>While the company is not expected to be able to maintain its (EBITDA) margins in the years ahead, top-line growth is expected to provide a basis for $112 billion in FY2023 free cash flow and close to $120 billion in FY2024 free cash flow.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c344727f5093f16a14b3a102f280630d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>TIKR.com</span></p><p>Using $112 billion in expected FCF as an example translates to an implied FCF yield of 5.0% of the company&#39;s $2.23 trillion market cap. In other words, the company could pay a dividend of 5.0% in FY2023 or buy back 5.0% of shares outstanding without using external funding or existing cash reserves.</p><p>With that said, there&#39;s a lot more cash to distribute. Apple&#39;s target to become net-cash neutral means it will have to distribute not only all of its free cash flow but also its net cash balance. Net cash occurs when a company has more cash than gross debt. It&#39;s negative net debt. Most companies have positive net debt. Apple has more cash than gross debt. At the end of FY2021, the company had $66 billion in net cash. Analysts expect that number to rise to more than $120 billion in the years ahead if the company doesn&#39;t buy back shares rather aggressively.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/52935bab6d5db9f25a22d41fe7dacab3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>TIKR.com</span></p><p>It also opens the door to major M&amp;A, which is why people have speculated that Apple may buy a company like Peloton (PTON), which is currently getting crushed on the stock market. However, while Apple isn&#39;t denying looking for bigger opportunities, it seems to work on its own products based on smaller acquisitions, which I believe is the way to go in that space.</p><p>According to Tim Cook:</p><blockquote>We acquire a lot of smaller companies today and we&#39;ll continue to do that for IP and for great talent. And -- but we don&#39;t discount doing something larger either if the opportunity presents itself.</blockquote><p>Now, onto the valuation.</p><p><b>Valuation &amp; Timing</b></p><p>Apple is down 22.5% year to date, which pushed its market cap to $2.23 trillion. When subtracting $93.2 billion in expected FY2023 net cash, we get an enterprise value of $2.14 trillion.</p><p>This is 15.8x next year&#39;s expected EBITDA of $135 billion. 15.8x is still above the company&#39;s pre-pandemic valuation, but well below prices investors were willing to pay in 2021 and most of 2020.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d5514bb0b8494b8df2e8ce9f34bf019f\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>The stock price is now back to where it was in early 2021 after investors pushed the stock to more than $180 at the end of 2021.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6c5dabeac5b865aeffbd8e91d5b162ad\" tg-width=\"992\" tg-height=\"400\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>FINVIZ</span></p><p>It&#39;s hard to predict where the stock will bottom. If ongoing issues are persistent, we could see $120, which is where the stock found a lot of support in the first half of 2021. Below that, I could see $110.</p><p>My strategy is to buy as close to my initial entry as possible ($123.69), if it falls below $120, I will buy more aggressively.</p><p>If you&#39;re new to Apple and looking to initiate a position, I think it&#39;s best to break up an initial investment. For example, buy 25% now and add gradually over time. That way investors get to average down if the stock continues its decline while it gives them a foot in the door if the stock suddenly bottoms and takes off.</p><p><b>Takeaway</b></p><p>Apple has gone nowhere since last year as inflation and related factors have made it impossible for growth stocks to continue their post-pandemic uptrend. However, Apple offers a great mix of both growth and value, which is why the damage to its stock price is somewhat limited compared to pure-growth plays. Apple is my favorite tech/consumer stock for a reason, which is its ability to generate a load of cash on top of its already stunning net cash position.</p><p>The company is dedicated to distributing its existing cash position and most of its free cash flow via buybacks on top of steadily growing dividends. While the dividend yield is low, I still recommend AAPL to dividend growth investors. As long as investors are not dependent on income from their investment, I have little doubt that investors will enjoy long-term outperforming capital gains thanks to aggressive buybacks and a business model relying on its successful tech products and services.</p><p>With that said, the ongoing market environment is tricky. As I explained in this article, the Fed is trying to get inflation down to 2%, which is a tough task due to factors the bank cannot directly influence.

That stock is Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). It's one of my favorite investments despite its somewhat subdued exposure in my portfolio and the fact that I rarely cover the stock. I have 3.7% of my portfolio in Apple, which is below my portfolio average of 4.3%.Author PortfolioThe reason why I haven't covered the stock since May 9, 2021, is the same reason why the stock is still way too small in my portfolio: macro developments. In this article, I will explain why Apple is doing so poorly after I wrote in 2021 that inflation would become a serious issue - especially with regard to the Federal Reserve's actions. However, while the current stock market isn't fun for long-only (long-term) investors, I'm actually incredibly excited to see that Apple is doing so poorly. It provides us dividend growth investors with an opportunity to add at much better prices that will provide us with long-term opportunities to add substantial wealth to our portfolios. Apple is one of the stocks that need serious weakness to make sense for dividend growth investors.In this article, I invite you to read my thoughts on macro, Apple, and my strategy in this market.I will also explain why buying a very low yield makes sense for the \"average\" dividend investor.So, let's get to it!A Quick Look BackLet's start with some transparency. I bought Apple in 2021 at an average price of $123.68. I haven't bought more shares since then for one big reason: I wasn't a fan of technology and \"growth\" stocks given the macro environment.Last year, I wrote the following paragraph:When I say Apple's Achilles' heel, I mean its sensitivity in times of rising inflation. I am not afraid of the competition potentially beating Apple long-term (i.e., Microsoft (MSFT)), and I am not afraid of recessions. While a recession will keep pressure on Apple for 1-2 years (on average), underperformance due to inflation is Apple's real enemy.Also, the following part applies here given what I'm about to show you next:While highly speculative stocks get butchered, Apple is holding up very well as the company is what I consider to be the perfect mix of growth AND value. The company is not only expected to generate high growth in the future but also reward its investors already with massive buybacks and significant dividend hikes.Inflation & Key MacroUnfortunately, I was right as inflation did become a big issue. Consumer price inflation in the United States is now above 8%. The situation in key markets like Europe isn't much better as the reasons why inflation is high are similar in various economic \"hotspots.\"St. Louis Federal ReserveIt all started in 2020 when lockdowns hurt supply chains. Inventories were empty and demand imploded in various sectors/industries. Then, demand came back roaring, yet there was no way for supply to rebound just as quickly. It hurt global shipping, manufacturing input prices, commodity prices, and much more. These problems still aren't gone as China started to lock down its cities again. Right now, this is once again causing supply chain issues to worsen in US ports. Add to this that energy markets are seeing severe supply/demand imbalances as drillers aren't able or willing to increase production. Oil prices are above $100 despite Chinese lockdowns, economic growth fears, and an aggressive Federal Reserve.Add to this the war in Ukraine and the (related) food crisis that is slowly weakening the consumer where it hurts most: in essential purchases.Moreover, central banks blew up their balance sheets like there was no tomorrow in 2020. Between the start of 2020 and the end of 2021, major central banks (Fed, ECB, Bank of Japan, People's Bank of China) raised their combined assets from $21 trillion to more than $31 trillion.Yardeni Research, IncIn other words, a decreasing number of goods (and services) due to supply chain issues were chased by an ever-increasing amount of cash. It supported stock prices, home values, crypto, NFTs, and pretty much everything else that was perceived to have value.Fast forward to 2022 and we're in a situation where things are different. Inflation is high, supply chains are still broken, economic growth is slowing, and the Federal Reserve is expected to hike aggressively - in this case, while economic growth is weakening.As my friend and macro expert Nick Glinsman wrote last week, the Fed could be even more aggressive to tame inflation than some expect right now.When thinking about the Federal Reserve's job in getting inflation down, we often talk about real rates as measured by TIPS. However, instead we should be thinking about the gap between the Fed Funds rate and the consumer price index. This measurement, what I would call the \"real\" real rate, shows just how far we are from having a positive reading. It may be the case the amount of tightening needed to tame inflation is much greater than many realize. In fact, if the Fed were to ignore this measure, it risks throwing the economy into a recession without actually getting inflation under control.Real 10-year rates measured by TIPS are just barely positive right now, whereas there's a much larger gap between US CPI at 8.3% and the Fed Funds rate at 1%. If you look at the last inflationary period during the 1980s, it took years of the Fed Funds rate exceeding CPI for the Paul Volcker-led Fed to bring inflation down durably.What this means is that the Fed Funds futures' terminal rate estimate of 3.25% in March 2023 may not be enough to tame inflation. The Fed said it will keep raising rates until inflation falls towards its 2% target. As it's doubtful that inflation will fall to 3.25% by March, more aggressive hikes might be needed.After all, a big part of inflation is caused by issues the Fed cannot influence. The Fed cannot solve the war in Ukraine, it cannot increase oil production, it cannot add labor supply, and it cannot convince China to refrain from implementing new lockdowns.As a result, investors are de-risking their portfolios. The S&P 500 is down roughly 18.2% from its all-time high including dividends. The ARK Innovation Pacer Swan SOS Fund of Funds ETF|ETF (ARKK) is down 73% from its all-time high as investors have sold high-growth stocks. The tech-heavy QQQ ETF (QQQ) is down 28.4%. Apple has lost roughly a quarter of its value.Data by YChartsIn other words, not only has Apple been one of the best performers since the pandemic, but it's also doing rather well during the ongoing pandemic - compared to stocks that also shined prior to the sell-off. However, the company is not the world's most valuable company anymore, as it has been overtaken by oil giant Saudi Aramco as reported by the Wall Street Journal.Wall Street JournalWith that said, I could not care less. If anything, I'm very happy that Apple is down because I expected that inflation would hurt growth stocks.On top of that, long-term investors should cheer on these buying opportunities as Apple is far more than a \"growth\" stock. As I wrote in 2021 and in this article, Apple is the perfect mix between growth and value. It helped the stock outperform the market in the past and it protects investors in times when pure-growth plays are getting butchered.Over the past 10 years, Apple is still up more than 700% including dividends. That's more than twice the return of the S&P 500.Data by YChartsWith that said, market turmoil is opening up new opportunities that I want to use given my rather low Apple exposure.Apple's Growth & ValueNot only did I rename my Twitter account to Growth & Value, but the growth and value approach is also the cornerstone of my dividend growth portfolio, which is roughly 95% of my entire net worth.As the current market environment shows so well, the stocks that deliver both growth and value are the best performers. In this case, I consider \"value\" to be a company's ability to generate free cash flow used to maintain a healthy balance sheet and pay a growing dividend and the option to buy back shares. The \"growth\" aspect is straightforward as I dislike companies that are only able to pay a high yield without being able to grow, i.e., sales, EBITDA, and whatnot.The graph below is important for what I'm about to say next. I used this graph in a recent dividend growth-focused article as it shows that historically speaking companies with both growth and value have outperformed the (equal-weight) market by a mile. Dividend growers are not just providing a stream of cash for shareholders, but the fact that they are able to pay a growing dividend shows that their businesses are in a good place. Companies that paid a dividend without growth did also well, yet they underperformed growers by a mile.Hartford FundsApple has consistently grown its dividend since 2012, when it initiated a dividend for the first time since 1995. Seeking Alpha rates Apple's dividend growth \"A+\" compared to its industry peers.Seeking AlphaThe current quarterly dividend is $0.23 per share after the company announced a 4.5% hike on April 28. This translates to $0.92 per year, which is a 0.67% yield based on a $138 stock price. This means the chart I used last year is relevant again (the one below). Back then, the yield was 0.68% based on a $130 stock price. It happens every now and then that dividend investors get upset when I give them a company with a yield of 0.7%. 0.7% isn't a lot, that's right. $10,000 invested in Apple will result in $70 annual dividends. That won't get you very far - and $10,000 is a lot of money to a lot of people.Last year, the company hiked its dividend by 7.3%. In 2020, the company hiked by 6.5%. In 2019, the company hiked by 5.5%. Over the past 5 years, the average annual hike is 8.8%.For the sake of simplicity, let's assume the company maintains long-term dividend growth of 10% (above its current average). That would result in a yield on cost of 4.2% in 2040. That's roughly 18 years from now.Author4.2% on cost ends up being $420 in dividends (based on the $10,000 example - without adding shares). I doubt that will get us very far in 2040.So, why am I still so happy to discuss this dividend growth opportunity?The key is that Apple will not become a high-yield stock anytime soon. Growth is high and Apple generates a LOT of free cash flow.When Apple announced the aforementioned 4.5% dividend hike on April 28, it also announced a $90 billion increase to its existing buyback program.This is what the company commented on its 2Q22 earnings call:Given the continued confidence we have in our business now and into the future, today our Board has authorized an additional $90 billion for share repurchases, as we maintain our goal of getting to net cash neutral, overtime. We're also raising our dividend by 5% to $0.23 a share and we continue to plan for annual increases in the dividend going forward.In that quarter, Apple bought back $22.9 billion worth of stock while returning $3.6 billion in dividends. In other words, the company's priority is obvious. It will distribute cash in the most tax-efficient way, which also benefits its bottom line. A lower number of shares outstanding equals higher earnings per share.The graph below shows annual repurchases and dividends. Repurchases have exceeded $69 billion every single year since 2018.TIKR.comThese buybacks allowed the company to reduce shares outstanding from 20.9 billion in 2017 to 16.7 billion at the end of 2021. That's a decline of 20% or roughly 4.4% per year.While the company is not expected to be able to maintain its (EBITDA) margins in the years ahead, top-line growth is expected to provide a basis for $112 billion in FY2023 free cash flow and close to $120 billion in FY2024 free cash flow.TIKR.comUsing $112 billion in expected FCF as an example translates to an implied FCF yield of 5.0% of the company's $2.23 trillion market cap. In other words, the company could pay a dividend of 5.0% in FY2023 or buy back 5.0% of shares outstanding without using external funding or existing cash reserves.With that said, there's a lot more cash to distribute. Apple's target to become net-cash neutral means it will have to distribute not only all of its free cash flow but also its net cash balance. Net cash occurs when a company has more cash than gross debt. It's negative net debt. Most companies have positive net debt. Apple has more cash than gross debt. At the end of FY2021, the company had $66 billion in net cash. Analysts expect that number to rise to more than $120 billion in the years ahead if the company doesn't buy back shares rather aggressively.TIKR.comIt also opens the door to major M&A, which is why people have speculated that Apple may buy a company like Peloton (PTON), which is currently getting crushed on the stock market. However, while Apple isn't denying looking for bigger opportunities, it seems to work on its own products based on smaller acquisitions, which I believe is the way to go in that space.According to Tim Cook:We acquire a lot of smaller companies today and we'll continue to do that for IP and for great talent. And -- but we don't discount doing something larger either if the opportunity presents itself.Now, onto the valuation.Valuation & TimingApple is down 22.5% year to date, which pushed its market cap to $2.23 trillion. When subtracting $93.2 billion in expected FY2023 net cash, we get an enterprise value of $2.14 trillion.This is 15.8x next year's expected EBITDA of $135 billion. 15.8x is still above the company's pre-pandemic valuation, but well below prices investors were willing to pay in 2021 and most of 2020.Data by YChartsThe stock price is now back to where it was in early 2021 after investors pushed the stock to more than $180 at the end of 2021.FINVIZIt's hard to predict where the stock will bottom. If ongoing issues are persistent, we could see $120, which is where the stock found a lot of support in the first half of 2021. Below that, I could see $110.My strategy is to buy as close to my initial entry as possible ($123.69), if it falls below $120, I will buy more aggressively.If you're new to Apple and looking to initiate a position, I think it's best to break up an initial investment. For example, buy 25% now and add gradually over time. That way investors get to average down if the stock continues its decline while it gives them a foot in the door if the stock suddenly bottoms and takes off.TakeawayApple has gone nowhere since last year as inflation and related factors have made it impossible for growth stocks to continue their post-pandemic uptrend. However, Apple offers a great mix of both growth and value, which is why the damage to its stock price is somewhat limited compared to pure-growth plays. Apple is my favorite tech/consumer stock for a reason, which is its ability to generate a load of cash on top of its already stunning net cash position.The company is dedicated to distributing its existing cash position and most of its free cash flow via buybacks on top of steadily growing dividends. While the dividend yield is low, I still recommend AAPL to dividend growth investors. As long as investors are not dependent on income from their investment, I have little doubt that investors will enjoy long-term outperforming capital gains thanks to aggressive buybacks and a business model relying on its successful tech products and services.With that said, the ongoing market environment is tricky. As I explained in this article, the Fed is trying to get inflation down to 2%, which is a tough task due to factors the bank cannot directly influence. As a result, the Fed may have to be more aggressive than anticipated, which could hurt the economy more than expected at a time when consumers are already in a tough spot.Nonetheless, in order to make Apple a successful long-term investment, we need stock price weakness. The valuation has gotten a lot better and if the stock continues to drop, I will add more aggressively.Again, the stock market environment isn't fun, but buying Apple at better valuations is absolutely worth it as it gives us a high chance of long-term outperformance and wealth creation.(Dis)agree?

The data-mining firm&#39;s shares started trading at $10, closed at an all-time high of $39 last January, but subsequently tumbled all the way back to about $12 a share.</p><p>Does that pullback represent a good buying opportunity for patient investors? Let&#39;s review the bull and bear cases to decide.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a745be90180fb00049b4e1dd3a5ed89\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>What does Palantir do?</h2><p>Palantir operates two main software platforms: Gotham, which serves government clients; and Foundry, which serves large enterprises and private organizations. A third platform, Apollo, provides automatic software updates for both platforms as a cloud-based service.</p><p>Palantir&#39;s software aggregates data from disparate sources and then analyzes it with artificial intelligence algorithms to help organizations make informed decisions. For example, the U.S. Army uses Gotham to collect intel from various government agencies and local sources to plan missions. Large companies can also use its algorithms to streamline their operations.</p><h2>Why do the bulls love Palantir?</h2><p>The bulls love Palantir because it has firm ties to the U.S. government, it generates robust growth, and its gross margins are expanding.</p><p>Palantir&#39;s revenue rose 47% in 2020, then grew 41% to $1.54 billion in 2021. It ended 2021 with a high dollar-based net retention rate of 131%, and it expects its revenue to grow by at least 30% annually through 2025.</p><p>Its government revenue in 2021 rose 34% to $645 million, but it still decelerated from its 77% growth in 2020. However, its commercial revenue in 2021 increased 47% to $897 million, which accelerated from its 22% growth in 2020.</p><p>The acceleration of its commercial business silenced the bears who initially claimed Palantir would struggle against similar data-mining companies like <b>C3.ai</b>, <b>Alteryx</b>, and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce</a></b> in the crowded enterprise analytics market.</p><p>The bulls also believe its government slowdown is temporary since it still secured plenty of new deals over the past year. In addition, Ukraine war could generate fresh tailwinds for Gotham as more government agencies upgrade their analytics systems to counter the threat of new cyberattacks and military aggression across Europe.</p><p>Palantir&#39;s adjusted gross margin rose from 71% in 2019 to 81% in 2020, then increased to 82% in 2021. That ongoing expansion indicates it still has plenty of pricing power in the data mining and analytics market.</p><h2>Why do the bears hate Palantir?</h2><p>The bears dislike Palantir because it faces a hidden competitor within the U.S. government, it&#39;s unprofitable, and its stock still isn&#39;t cheap.</p><p>Palantir has a controversial reputation because its co-founder Peter Thiel was a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump. Immigration and Customs Enforcement&#39;s (ICE) usage of Gotham to deport undocumented immigrants also sparked internal protests and resignations across the company.</p><p>Those controversies, along with long-term cost concerns, have reportedly driven ICE to develop its own internal replacement for Gotham called RAVEn.

The data-mining firm's shares started trading at $10, closed at an all-time high of $39 last January, but subsequently tumbled all the way back to about $12 a share.Does that pullback represent a good buying opportunity for patient investors? Let's review the bull and bear cases to decide.Image source: Getty Images.What does Palantir do?Palantir operates two main software platforms: Gotham, which serves government clients; and Foundry, which serves large enterprises and private organizations. A third platform, Apollo, provides automatic software updates for both platforms as a cloud-based service.Palantir's software aggregates data from disparate sources and then analyzes it with artificial intelligence algorithms to help organizations make informed decisions. For example, the U.S. Army uses Gotham to collect intel from various government agencies and local sources to plan missions. Large companies can also use its algorithms to streamline their operations.Why do the bulls love Palantir?The bulls love Palantir because it has firm ties to the U.S. government, it generates robust growth, and its gross margins are expanding.Palantir's revenue rose 47% in 2020, then grew 41% to $1.54 billion in 2021. It ended 2021 with a high dollar-based net retention rate of 131%, and it expects its revenue to grow by at least 30% annually through 2025.Its government revenue in 2021 rose 34% to $645 million, but it still decelerated from its 77% growth in 2020. However, its commercial revenue in 2021 increased 47% to $897 million, which accelerated from its 22% growth in 2020.The acceleration of its commercial business silenced the bears who initially claimed Palantir would struggle against similar data-mining companies like C3.ai, Alteryx, and Salesforce in the crowded enterprise analytics market.The bulls also believe its government slowdown is temporary since it still secured plenty of new deals over the past year. In addition, Ukraine war could generate fresh tailwinds for Gotham as more government agencies upgrade their analytics systems to counter the threat of new cyberattacks and military aggression across Europe.Palantir's adjusted gross margin rose from 71% in 2019 to 81% in 2020, then increased to 82% in 2021. That ongoing expansion indicates it still has plenty of pricing power in the data mining and analytics market.Why do the bears hate Palantir?The bears dislike Palantir because it faces a hidden competitor within the U.S. government, it's unprofitable, and its stock still isn't cheap.Palantir has a controversial reputation because its co-founder Peter Thiel was a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) usage of Gotham to deport undocumented immigrants also sparked internal protests and resignations across the company.Those controversies, along with long-term cost concerns, have reportedly driven ICE to develop its own internal replacement for Gotham called RAVEn. If other U.S. government agencies follow ICE's lead, Palantir's dream of becoming the \"default operating system for data across the U.S. government\" (which it boldly set in its S-1 filing) could quickly end.Palantir's net loss widened from $580 million in 2019 to $1.17 billion in 2020, partly due to the costs of its direct listing, and narrowed to $520 million in 2021. That red ink makes Palantir a risky stock to own as interest rates rise.Palantir's stock has nearly taken a round trip back to its initial opening price, but it still isn't undervalued at 12 times this year's sales. By comparison, Twilio (TWLO -6.26%) -- the cloud-based communications company which expects to generate at least 30% organic revenue growth over the next few years -- trades at just six times this year's sales.To make matter worse, Palantir continues to dilute its shares with its generous stock-based compensation (50% of its revenue in 2021) as its insiders cash out. On a weighted-average basis, Palantir's outstanding shares nearly doubled in 2021. Yet over the past three months, its insiders sold more than twice as many shares as they purchased.The bears still have the upper handPalantir's business should continue to grow at an impressive clip this year, but its ongoing losses, dilution, and insider sales indicate its stock could still drop even further in this challenging market. Therefore, I believe investors should avoid Palantir until its price-to-sales ratio drops to the single digits.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":220,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9060549672,"gmtCreate":1651184815537,"gmtModify":1676534863591,"author":{"id":"3560929247961996","authorId":"3560929247961996","name":"Fredteh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61eaccb8085fb08c692502d98314f43d","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3560929247961996","authorIdStr":"3560929247961996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Oh Apple, wonderful stock to hold in this stormy market.&nbsp;","listText":"Oh Apple, wonderful stock to hold in this stormy market.&nbsp;","text":"Oh Apple, wonderful stock to hold in this stormy market.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9060549672","repostId":"1141206949","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1141206949","pubTimestamp":1651159350,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1141206949?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-28 23:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Is the Ultimate Market Bellwether","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1141206949","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"As Apple goes, so will the market","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><b>Apple</b> (<b><u>AAPL</u></b>) today is a value stock, a defensive play.</li><li>Apple revenue is still driven by product sales, not cloud services.</li><li>As Apple goes, so goes the market.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/53eed4be5befbbd8306571258b550a0c\" tg-width=\"1600\" tg-height=\"900\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: Eric Broder Van Dyke / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p><b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>AAPL</u></b>) stock today is what <b>International Business Machines</b> (NYSE:<b><u>IBM</u></b>) was a generation ago and what <b>General Motors</b> (NYSE:<b><u>GM</u></b>) was a generation before that.</p><p>It’s the ultimate market bellwether.</p><p>A quick look at a stock chart shows this clearly.

What started out as a joke has enabled some to laugh all the way to the bank.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, skeptics about Dogecoin would be just as quick to note that it has given up more than 60% of its earlier gains. Anyone who jumped on the Dogecoin late is probably sitting on some hefty losses.</p>\n<p>Regardless of what your take is on Dogecoin, what really matters is where you should put your money now. One place to get some investment ideas is Robinhood's 100 most popular stocks list. Here are two popular Robinhood stocks that could crush Dogecoin going forward.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/21859b0af15cb96a0c3a3aa3d6358251\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"420\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>NVIDIA</h2>\n<p>While Dogecoin has nosedived in recent months, <b>NVIDIA</b> (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock has taken off. One reason why is NVIDIA's upcoming four-for-<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> stock split. While stock splits don't impact a company's valuation directly, they can attract greater numbers of small investors.</p>\n<p>However, there are plenty of even better reasons to like NVIDIA that have nothing to do with its stock split. The most obvious one is the company's gaming business.</p>\n<p>Gaming remains NVIDIA's biggest moneymaker, generating $2.8 billion of the company's total revenue of nearly $5.7 billion in the first quarter of 2021. And business is booming. NVIDIA's gaming revenue more than doubled year over year.</p>\n<p>It isn't just that gaming is increasing in popularity (although that is the case). NVIDIA benefits from regular hardware upgrade cycles. New games require even more processing power, which drives demand for the more powerful graphics processing units (GPUs).</p>\n<p>I especially like that NVIDIA is leveraging its gaming expertise to target new markets. For example, the company recently unveiled Omniverse Enterprise, a platform where design teams can build 3D virtual simulations and collaborate in real-time.

What started out as a joke has enabled some to laugh all the way to the bank.\nOn the other hand, skeptics about Dogecoin would be just as quick to note that it has given up more than 60% of its earlier gains. Anyone who jumped on the Dogecoin late is probably sitting on some hefty losses.\nRegardless of what your take is on Dogecoin, what really matters is where you should put your money now. One place to get some investment ideas is Robinhood's 100 most popular stocks list. Here are two popular Robinhood stocks that could crush Dogecoin going forward.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nNVIDIA\nWhile Dogecoin has nosedived in recent months, NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock has taken off. One reason why is NVIDIA's upcoming four-for-one stock split. While stock splits don't impact a company's valuation directly, they can attract greater numbers of small investors.\nHowever, there are plenty of even better reasons to like NVIDIA that have nothing to do with its stock split. The most obvious one is the company's gaming business.\nGaming remains NVIDIA's biggest moneymaker, generating $2.8 billion of the company's total revenue of nearly $5.7 billion in the first quarter of 2021. And business is booming. NVIDIA's gaming revenue more than doubled year over year.\nIt isn't just that gaming is increasing in popularity (although that is the case). NVIDIA benefits from regular hardware upgrade cycles. New games require even more processing power, which drives demand for the more powerful graphics processing units (GPUs).\nI especially like that NVIDIA is leveraging its gaming expertise to target new markets. For example, the company recently unveiled Omniverse Enterprise, a platform where design teams can build 3D virtual simulations and collaborate in real-time. In effect, NVIDIA is turning work into play (or vice versa, depending on how you look at it).\nNVIDIA CFO Colette Kress said in the company's Q1 conference call, \"As the world becomes more digital, virtual and collaborative, we see a significant revenue opportunity for Omniverse.\" I think that Kress's optimism is well-founded.\nDon't overlook NVIDIA's potential in the data center market, though. The company posted data center revenue of more than $2 billion in Q1, up 79% year over year.

In particular, the Arm deal would boost NVIDIA's presence in the fast-growing Internet of Things market with chips for mobile devices.\nSure, an overall cryptocurrency crash could cause NVIDIA's shares to fall due to the popularity of the company's GPUs with crypto miners. It's happened before. However, the company has taken steps to segment its gaming business from crypto. I think that any pullback would only be temporary. NVIDIA has too many other strong growth drivers.\nModerna\nMost companies can't honestly say that they've helped change the world. Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) can.\nThe biotech's COVID-19 vaccine was second only to the vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech to win U.S. Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). Moderna reported $1.9 billion in sales for the vaccine in Q1, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.\nBased on supply agreements in place as of early May, Moderna projected that its COVID-19 vaccine would rake in sales this year of $19.2 billion.

Saudi Aramco eclipsed that threshold briefly in December 2019, but currently has a market value of about $1.9 trillion.</p>\n<p>Since taking the reins in 2014, Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella has reshaped the Redmond, Washington-based company into the largest seller of cloud-computing software, counting both its infrastructure and Office application cloud units. Microsoft is also the only <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the biggest U.S. technology companies that has so far evaded the recent wave of scrutiny from increasingly active American antitrust regulators, giving it a freer hand in both acquisitions and product expansion.</p>\n<p>Microsoft has gained 19% so far this year, outperforming Apple and Amazon.com Inc., as investors piled into the stock on expectations of long-term growth for both earnings and revenue, and expansion in areas like machine learning and cloud computing. The company’s third-quarter results, released in late April, topped expectations and demonstrated strong growth across its business segments.</p>\n<p>The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index outperformed the S&amp;P 500 Index on Tuesday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell reiterated his view that inflation will be short lived. Both benchmarks rose to session highs after Powell’s comments with the Nasdaq 100 up 1.1% and the S&amp;P 500 up 0.7%.</p>\n<p>Microsoft “has its hands in a lot and it is doing it all well: gaming, cloud, automation, analytics, AI,” said Hilary Frisch, senior research analyst at Clearbridge Investments. “It is an attractively valued name within tech, and it should benefit from both the economy reopening as well as from a more pronounced shift toward the cloud.”</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a280fce51eba99be2831914a36829047\" tg-width=\"930\" tg-height=\"523\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Co-founded in 1975 by Bill Gates and Paul Allen, Microsoft created the personal-computer software industry and dominated the market for PC operating systems and Office software for years. As internet browsers like Netscape grew in importance in the 1990s, Microsoft raced to introduce its own product that it bundled with Windows software. That led to a bruising antitrust lawsuit, filed in 1998 by the U.S. government, with a federal judge finding the company guilty in 2000.</p>\n<p>Though Microsoft avoided a breakup of its business, the penalty the government originally sought in the antitrust case, the next decade saw the software maker largely miss the advent of mobile software, social media and internet search, falling behind newer rivals such as Google and nimbler ones like Apple. With a series of strategic shifts, in the past seven years Nadella has restored Microsoft to the vanguard of technology with a focus on cloud, mobile computing and artificial intelligence.</p>\n<p>While it took Microsoft 33 years from its IPO to reach its first $1 trillion in value in 2019, the next trillion only took about two years amid a surge in popularity in tech stocks before the Covid-19 pandemic and during the health crisis. Apple made Wall Street history when it reached $2 trillion last year.</p>\n<p>Among U.S. names, the pair are trailed by Amazon, which has a market cap of nearly $1.8 trillion, and Alphabet Inc., which is valued around $1.6 trillion.</p>\n<p>According to data compiled by Bloomberg, more than 90% of analysts recommend buying Microsoft, while none has the equivalent of a sell rating on the stock. The average price target points to upside of about 11% from current levels.</p>\n<p>Growth Drivers</p>\n<p>Microsoft’s cloud-computing business has been a central force behind the advance. According to data compiled by Bloomberg, the Intelligent Cloud business accounted for 33.8% of Microsoft’s 2020 revenue, making it the largest of the three major segments for the first time, and up from 31% in 2019.

Saudi Aramco eclipsed that threshold briefly in December 2019, but currently has a market value of about $1.9 trillion.\nSince taking the reins in 2014, Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella has reshaped the Redmond, Washington-based company into the largest seller of cloud-computing software, counting both its infrastructure and Office application cloud units. Microsoft is also the only one of the biggest U.S. technology companies that has so far evaded the recent wave of scrutiny from increasingly active American antitrust regulators, giving it a freer hand in both acquisitions and product expansion.\nMicrosoft has gained 19% so far this year, outperforming Apple and Amazon.com Inc., as investors piled into the stock on expectations of long-term growth for both earnings and revenue, and expansion in areas like machine learning and cloud computing. The company’s third-quarter results, released in late April, topped expectations and demonstrated strong growth across its business segments.\nThe tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index outperformed the S&P 500 Index on Tuesday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell reiterated his view that inflation will be short lived. Both benchmarks rose to session highs after Powell’s comments with the Nasdaq 100 up 1.1% and the S&P 500 up 0.7%.\nMicrosoft “has its hands in a lot and it is doing it all well: gaming, cloud, automation, analytics, AI,” said Hilary Frisch, senior research analyst at Clearbridge Investments. “It is an attractively valued name within tech, and it should benefit from both the economy reopening as well as from a more pronounced shift toward the cloud.”\n\nCo-founded in 1975 by Bill Gates and Paul Allen, Microsoft created the personal-computer software industry and dominated the market for PC operating systems and Office software for years. As internet browsers like Netscape grew in importance in the 1990s, Microsoft raced to introduce its own product that it bundled with Windows software. That led to a bruising antitrust lawsuit, filed in 1998 by the U.S. government, with a federal judge finding the company guilty in 2000.\nThough Microsoft avoided a breakup of its business, the penalty the government originally sought in the antitrust case, the next decade saw the software maker largely miss the advent of mobile software, social media and internet search, falling behind newer rivals such as Google and nimbler ones like Apple. With a series of strategic shifts, in the past seven years Nadella has restored Microsoft to the vanguard of technology with a focus on cloud, mobile computing and artificial intelligence.\nWhile it took Microsoft 33 years from its IPO to reach its first $1 trillion in value in 2019, the next trillion only took about two years amid a surge in popularity in tech stocks before the Covid-19 pandemic and during the health crisis. Apple made Wall Street history when it reached $2 trillion last year.\nAmong U.S. names, the pair are trailed by Amazon, which has a market cap of nearly $1.8 trillion, and Alphabet Inc., which is valued around $1.6 trillion.\nAccording to data compiled by Bloomberg, more than 90% of analysts recommend buying Microsoft, while none has the equivalent of a sell rating on the stock. The average price target points to upside of about 11% from current levels.\nGrowth Drivers\nMicrosoft’s cloud-computing business has been a central force behind the advance. According to data compiled by Bloomberg, the Intelligent Cloud business accounted for 33.8% of Microsoft’s 2020 revenue, making it the largest of the three major segments for the first time, and up from 31% in 2019. The division showed revenue growth of 24% last year, compared with the 13% growth in Productivity and Business Processes, and the 6% growth of Microsoft’s More Personal Computing unit.\nNadella’s strategic moves had put Microsoft in a position to benefit from business trends that arose during the global pandemic. Lockdowns and remote work accelerated a shift to the company’s meeting software and pushed clients to speed up modernizations of software networks and applications around the cloud. The software maker’s Xbox gaming subscriptions also lured users looking for diversion during months stuck at home.\nAs workers return to the office, Microsoft has tried to push new ideas for managing meetings where some attendees are in person and some remote, and has been hawking features to boost wellness and productivity for workers that the company says are burned out by the tribulations of the past year.\n“At a high level, the two core pillars of Microsoft’s bull narrative — Microsoft 365 and Azure — are well understood by the investment community,” William Blair analyst Jason Ader wrote in May. “What is perhaps less appreciated is how over the last 15 years Microsoft has expanded its IT wallet share through expanding into new product areas” and taking market share. The wallet share doubled from 2006 to 2020, and “we believe it can double again over the next decade,” it wrote.\nWall Street is also positive on the company’s M&A strategy.

That stock is <b>Apple Inc. (</b><b>NASDAQ:AAPL</b><b>)</b>. It&#39;s one of my favorite investments despite its somewhat subdued exposure in my portfolio and the fact that I rarely cover the stock. I have 3.7% of my portfolio in Apple, which is below my portfolio average of 4.3%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/40a49ae31038734f82bf7edfe90dc9b3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"321\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Author Portfolio</span></p><p>The reason why I haven&#39;t covered the stock since May 9, 2021, is the same reason why the stock is still way too small in my portfolio: macro developments. In this article, I will explain why Apple is doing so poorly after I wrote in 2021 that inflation would become a serious issue - especially with regard to the Federal Reserve&#39;s actions. However, while the current stock market isn&#39;t fun for long-only (long-term) investors, I&#39;m actually incredibly excited to see that Apple is doing so poorly. It provides us dividend growth investors with an opportunity to add at much better prices that will provide us with long-term opportunities to add substantial wealth to our portfolios. Apple is one of the stocks that need serious weakness to make sense for dividend growth investors.</p><p>In this article, I invite you to read my thoughts on macro, Apple, and my strategy in this market.</p><p>I will also explain why buying a very low yield makes sense for the &#34;average&#34; dividend investor.</p><p>So, let&#39;s get to it!</p><p><b>A Quick Look Back</b></p><p>Let&#39;s start with some transparency. I bought Apple in 2021 at an average price of $123.68. I haven&#39;t bought more shares since then for one big reason: I wasn&#39;t a fan of technology and &#34;growth&#34; stocks given the macro environment.</p><p>Last year, I wrote the following paragraph:</p><blockquote>When I say Apple&#39;s Achilles&#39; heel, I mean its sensitivity in times of rising inflation. I am not afraid of the competition potentially beating Apple long-term (i.e., Microsoft (MSFT)), and I am not afraid of recessions. While a recession will keep pressure on Apple for 1-2 years (on average), underperformance due to inflation is Apple&#39;s real enemy.</blockquote><p>Also, the following part applies here given what I&#39;m about to show you next:</p><blockquote>While highly speculative stocks get butchered, Apple is holding up very well as the company is what I consider to be the perfect mix of growth AND value. The company is not only expected to generate high growth in the future but also reward its investors already with massive buybacks and significant dividend hikes.</blockquote><p><b>Inflation &amp; Key Macro</b></p><p>Unfortunately, I was right as inflation did become a big issue. Consumer price inflation in the United States is now above 8%. The situation in key markets like Europe isn&#39;t much better as the reasons why inflation is high are similar in various economic &#34;hotspots.&#34;</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f60ef1a56fde1bce88cc43d9f09dd81e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"385\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>St. Louis Federal Reserve</span></p><p>It all started in 2020 when lockdowns hurt supply chains. Inventories were empty and demand imploded in various sectors/industries. Then, demand came back roaring, yet there was no way for supply to rebound just as quickly. It hurt global shipping, manufacturing input prices, commodity prices, and much more. These problems still aren&#39;t gone as China started to lock down its cities again. Right now, this is once again causing supply chain issues to worsen in US ports. Add to this that energy markets are seeing severe supply/demand imbalances as drillers aren&#39;t able or willing to increase production. Oil prices are above $100 despite Chinese lockdowns, economic growth fears, and an aggressive Federal Reserve.</p><p>Add to this the war in Ukraine and the (related) food crisis that is slowly weakening the consumer where it hurts most: in essential purchases.</p><p>Moreover, central banks blew up their balance sheets like there was no tomorrow in 2020. Between the start of 2020 and the end of 2021, major central banks (Fed, ECB, Bank of Japan, People&#39;s Bank of China) raised their combined assets from $21 trillion to more than $31 trillion.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1c3ac383ba9a99dd86c06e7a1d1c4672\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"391\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Yardeni Research, Inc</span></p><p>In other words, a decreasing number of goods (and services) due to supply chain issues were chased by an ever-increasing amount of cash. It supported stock prices, home values, crypto, NFTs, and pretty much everything else that was perceived to have value.</p><p>Fast forward to 2022 and we&#39;re in a situation where things are different. Inflation is high, supply chains are still broken, economic growth is slowing, and the Federal Reserve is expected to hike aggressively - in this case, while economic growth is weakening.</p><p>As my friend and macro expert Nick Glinsman wrote last week, the Fed could be even more aggressive to tame inflation than some expect right now.</p><blockquote>When thinking about the Federal Reserve&#39;s job in getting inflation down, we often talk about real rates as measured by TIPS. However, instead we should be thinking about the gap between the Fed Funds rate and the consumer price index. <b><i>This measurement, what I would call the &#34;real&#34; real rate, shows just how far we are from having a positive reading. It may be the case the amount of tightening needed to tame inflation is much greater than many realize. In fact, if the Fed were to ignore this measure, it risks throwing the economy into a recession without actually getting inflation under control.</i></b></blockquote><blockquote>Real 10-year rates measured by TIPS are just barely positive right now, whereas there&#39;s a much larger gap between US CPI at 8.3% and the Fed Funds rate at 1%. If you look at the last inflationary period during the 1980s, it took years of the Fed Funds rate exceeding CPI for the Paul Volcker-led Fed to bring inflation down durably.</blockquote><p>What this means is that the Fed Funds futures&#39; terminal rate estimate of 3.25% in March 2023 may not be enough to tame inflation. The Fed said it will keep raising rates until inflation falls towards its 2% target. As it&#39;s doubtful that inflation will fall to 3.25% by March, more aggressive hikes might be needed.</p><p>After all, a big part of inflation is caused by issues the Fed cannot influence. The Fed cannot solve the war in Ukraine, it cannot increase oil production, it cannot add labor supply, and it cannot convince China to refrain from implementing new lockdowns.</p><p>As a result, investors are de-risking their portfolios. The S&amp;P 500 is down roughly 18.2% from its all-time high including dividends. The ARK Innovation <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PSFF\">Pacer Swan SOS Fund of Funds ETF|ETF</a> (ARKK) is down 73% from its all-time high as investors have sold high-growth stocks. The tech-heavy QQQ ETF (QQQ) is down 28.4%. Apple has lost roughly a quarter of its value.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bf1db187341ca70bc3ac9712ed7b1a38\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>In other words, not only has Apple been one of the best performers since the pandemic, but it&#39;s also doing rather well during the ongoing pandemic - compared to stocks that also shined prior to the sell-off. However, the company is not the world&#39;s most valuable company anymore, as it has been overtaken by oil giant Saudi Aramco as reported by the Wall Street Journal.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b49573a475c5d3aa00023b64dc551840\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"167\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Wall Street Journal</span></p><p>With that said, I could not care less. If anything, I&#39;m very happy that Apple is down because I expected that inflation would hurt growth stocks.</p><p>On top of that, long-term investors should cheer on these buying opportunities as Apple is far more than a &#34;growth&#34; stock. As I wrote in 2021 and in this article, Apple is the perfect mix between growth and value. It helped the stock outperform the market in the past and it protects investors in times when pure-growth plays are getting butchered.</p><p>Over the past 10 years, Apple is still up more than 700% including dividends. That&#39;s more than twice the return of the S&amp;P 500.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/013294d2067837f9d7cb002dfe92a989\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>With that said, market turmoil is opening up new opportunities that I want to use given my rather low Apple exposure.</p><p><b>Apple&#39;s Growth &amp; Value</b></p><p>Not only did I rename my <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> account to Growth &amp; Value, but the growth and value approach is also the cornerstone of my dividend growth portfolio, which is roughly 95% of my entire net worth.</p><p>As the current market environment shows so well, the stocks that deliver both growth and value are the best performers. In this case, I consider &#34;value&#34; to be a company&#39;s ability to generate free cash flow used to maintain a healthy balance sheet and pay a growing dividend and the option to buy back shares. The &#34;growth&#34; aspect is straightforward as I dislike companies that are only able to pay a high yield without being able to grow, i.e., sales, EBITDA, and whatnot.</p><p>The graph below is important for what I&#39;m about to say next. I used this graph in a recent dividend growth-focused article as it shows that historically speaking companies with both growth and value have outperformed the (equal-weight) market by a mile. Dividend growers are not just providing a stream of cash for shareholders, but the fact that they are able to pay a growing dividend shows that their businesses are in a good place. Companies that paid a dividend without growth did also well, yet they underperformed growers by a mile.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0ce5f82c39538e470817e836cae2c445\" tg-width=\"1344\" tg-height=\"760\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Hartford Funds</span></p><p>Apple has consistently grown its dividend since 2012, when it initiated a dividend for the first time since 1995. Seeking Alpha rates Apple&#39;s dividend growth &#34;A+&#34; compared to its industry peers.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/08519cb0f5665a767133e4000b721ff9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"212\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>The current quarterly dividend is $0.23 per share after the company announced a 4.5% hike on April 28. This translates to $0.92 per year, which is a 0.67% yield based on a $138 stock price. This means the chart I used last year is relevant again (the one below). Back then, the yield was 0.68% based on a $130 stock price. It happens every now and then that dividend investors get upset when I give them a company with a yield of 0.7%. 0.7% isn&#39;t a lot, that&#39;s right. $10,000 invested in Apple will result in $70 annual dividends. That won&#39;t get you very far - and $10,000 is a lot of money to a lot of people.</p><p>Last year, the company hiked its dividend by 7.3%. In 2020, the company hiked by 6.5%. In 2019, the company hiked by 5.5%. Over the past 5 years, the average annual hike is 8.8%.</p><p>For the sake of simplicity, let&#39;s assume the company maintains long-term dividend growth of 10% (above its current average). That would result in a yield on cost of 4.2% in 2040. That&#39;s roughly 18 years from now.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7aa214bb0832816d9543aee8bfc0347d\" tg-width=\"1054\" tg-height=\"385\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Author</span></p><p>4.2% on cost ends up being $420 in dividends (based on the $10,000 example - without adding shares). I doubt that will get us very far in 2040.</p><p>So, why am I still so happy to discuss this dividend growth opportunity?</p><p>The key is that Apple will not become a high-yield stock anytime soon. Growth is high and Apple generates a LOT of free cash flow.</p><p>When Apple announced the aforementioned 4.5% dividend hike on April 28, it also announced a $90 billion increase to its existing buyback program.</p><p>This is what the company commented on its 2Q22 earnings call:</p><blockquote>Given the continued confidence we have in our business now and into the future, today our Board has authorized an additional $90 billion for share repurchases, as we maintain our goal of getting to net cash neutral, overtime. We&#39;re also raising our dividend by 5% to $0.23 a share and we continue to plan for annual increases in the dividend going forward.</blockquote><p>In that quarter, Apple bought back $22.9 billion worth of stock while returning $3.6 billion in dividends. In other words, the company&#39;s priority is obvious. It will distribute cash in the most tax-efficient way, which also benefits its bottom line. A lower number of shares outstanding equals higher earnings per share.</p><p>The graph below shows annual repurchases and dividends. Repurchases have exceeded $69 billion every single year since 2018.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7546779c8ff134551c0053e3cd707c06\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>TIKR.com</span></p><p>These buybacks allowed the company to reduce shares outstanding from 20.9 billion in 2017 to 16.7 billion at the end of 2021. That&#39;s a decline of 20% or roughly 4.4% per year.</p><p>While the company is not expected to be able to maintain its (EBITDA) margins in the years ahead, top-line growth is expected to provide a basis for $112 billion in FY2023 free cash flow and close to $120 billion in FY2024 free cash flow.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c344727f5093f16a14b3a102f280630d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>TIKR.com</span></p><p>Using $112 billion in expected FCF as an example translates to an implied FCF yield of 5.0% of the company&#39;s $2.23 trillion market cap. In other words, the company could pay a dividend of 5.0% in FY2023 or buy back 5.0% of shares outstanding without using external funding or existing cash reserves.</p><p>With that said, there&#39;s a lot more cash to distribute. Apple&#39;s target to become net-cash neutral means it will have to distribute not only all of its free cash flow but also its net cash balance. Net cash occurs when a company has more cash than gross debt. It&#39;s negative net debt. Most companies have positive net debt. Apple has more cash than gross debt. At the end of FY2021, the company had $66 billion in net cash. Analysts expect that number to rise to more than $120 billion in the years ahead if the company doesn&#39;t buy back shares rather aggressively.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/52935bab6d5db9f25a22d41fe7dacab3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>TIKR.com</span></p><p>It also opens the door to major M&amp;A, which is why people have speculated that Apple may buy a company like Peloton (PTON), which is currently getting crushed on the stock market. However, while Apple isn&#39;t denying looking for bigger opportunities, it seems to work on its own products based on smaller acquisitions, which I believe is the way to go in that space.</p><p>According to Tim Cook:</p><blockquote>We acquire a lot of smaller companies today and we&#39;ll continue to do that for IP and for great talent. And -- but we don&#39;t discount doing something larger either if the opportunity presents itself.</blockquote><p>Now, onto the valuation.</p><p><b>Valuation &amp; Timing</b></p><p>Apple is down 22.5% year to date, which pushed its market cap to $2.23 trillion. When subtracting $93.2 billion in expected FY2023 net cash, we get an enterprise value of $2.14 trillion.</p><p>This is 15.8x next year&#39;s expected EBITDA of $135 billion. 15.8x is still above the company&#39;s pre-pandemic valuation, but well below prices investors were willing to pay in 2021 and most of 2020.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d5514bb0b8494b8df2e8ce9f34bf019f\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>The stock price is now back to where it was in early 2021 after investors pushed the stock to more than $180 at the end of 2021.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6c5dabeac5b865aeffbd8e91d5b162ad\" tg-width=\"992\" tg-height=\"400\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>FINVIZ</span></p><p>It&#39;s hard to predict where the stock will bottom. If ongoing issues are persistent, we could see $120, which is where the stock found a lot of support in the first half of 2021. Below that, I could see $110.</p><p>My strategy is to buy as close to my initial entry as possible ($123.69), if it falls below $120, I will buy more aggressively.</p><p>If you&#39;re new to Apple and looking to initiate a position, I think it&#39;s best to break up an initial investment. For example, buy 25% now and add gradually over time. That way investors get to average down if the stock continues its decline while it gives them a foot in the door if the stock suddenly bottoms and takes off.</p><p><b>Takeaway</b></p><p>Apple has gone nowhere since last year as inflation and related factors have made it impossible for growth stocks to continue their post-pandemic uptrend. However, Apple offers a great mix of both growth and value, which is why the damage to its stock price is somewhat limited compared to pure-growth plays. Apple is my favorite tech/consumer stock for a reason, which is its ability to generate a load of cash on top of its already stunning net cash position.</p><p>The company is dedicated to distributing its existing cash position and most of its free cash flow via buybacks on top of steadily growing dividends. While the dividend yield is low, I still recommend AAPL to dividend growth investors. As long as investors are not dependent on income from their investment, I have little doubt that investors will enjoy long-term outperforming capital gains thanks to aggressive buybacks and a business model relying on its successful tech products and services.</p><p>With that said, the ongoing market environment is tricky. As I explained in this article, the Fed is trying to get inflation down to 2%, which is a tough task due to factors the bank cannot directly influence. As a result, the Fed may have to be more aggressive than anticipated, which could hurt the economy more than expected at a time when consumers are already in a tough spot.</p><p>Nonetheless, in order to make Apple a successful long-term investment, we need stock price weakness. The valuation has gotten a lot better and if the stock continues to drop, I will add more aggressively.</p><p>Again, the stock market environment isn&#39;t fun, but buying Apple at better valuations is absolutely worth it as it gives us a high chance of long-term outperformance and wealth creation.</p><p>(Dis)agree?

That stock is Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). It's one of my favorite investments despite its somewhat subdued exposure in my portfolio and the fact that I rarely cover the stock. I have 3.7% of my portfolio in Apple, which is below my portfolio average of 4.3%.Author PortfolioThe reason why I haven't covered the stock since May 9, 2021, is the same reason why the stock is still way too small in my portfolio: macro developments. In this article, I will explain why Apple is doing so poorly after I wrote in 2021 that inflation would become a serious issue - especially with regard to the Federal Reserve's actions. However, while the current stock market isn't fun for long-only (long-term) investors, I'm actually incredibly excited to see that Apple is doing so poorly. It provides us dividend growth investors with an opportunity to add at much better prices that will provide us with long-term opportunities to add substantial wealth to our portfolios. Apple is one of the stocks that need serious weakness to make sense for dividend growth investors.In this article, I invite you to read my thoughts on macro, Apple, and my strategy in this market.I will also explain why buying a very low yield makes sense for the \"average\" dividend investor.So, let's get to it!A Quick Look BackLet's start with some transparency. I bought Apple in 2021 at an average price of $123.68. I haven't bought more shares since then for one big reason: I wasn't a fan of technology and \"growth\" stocks given the macro environment.Last year, I wrote the following paragraph:When I say Apple's Achilles' heel, I mean its sensitivity in times of rising inflation. I am not afraid of the competition potentially beating Apple long-term (i.e., Microsoft (MSFT)), and I am not afraid of recessions. While a recession will keep pressure on Apple for 1-2 years (on average), underperformance due to inflation is Apple's real enemy.Also, the following part applies here given what I'm about to show you next:While highly speculative stocks get butchered, Apple is holding up very well as the company is what I consider to be the perfect mix of growth AND value. The company is not only expected to generate high growth in the future but also reward its investors already with massive buybacks and significant dividend hikes.Inflation & Key MacroUnfortunately, I was right as inflation did become a big issue. Consumer price inflation in the United States is now above 8%. The situation in key markets like Europe isn't much better as the reasons why inflation is high are similar in various economic \"hotspots.\"St. Louis Federal ReserveIt all started in 2020 when lockdowns hurt supply chains. Inventories were empty and demand imploded in various sectors/industries. Then, demand came back roaring, yet there was no way for supply to rebound just as quickly. It hurt global shipping, manufacturing input prices, commodity prices, and much more. These problems still aren't gone as China started to lock down its cities again. Right now, this is once again causing supply chain issues to worsen in US ports. Add to this that energy markets are seeing severe supply/demand imbalances as drillers aren't able or willing to increase production. Oil prices are above $100 despite Chinese lockdowns, economic growth fears, and an aggressive Federal Reserve.Add to this the war in Ukraine and the (related) food crisis that is slowly weakening the consumer where it hurts most: in essential purchases.Moreover, central banks blew up their balance sheets like there was no tomorrow in 2020. Between the start of 2020 and the end of 2021, major central banks (Fed, ECB, Bank of Japan, People's Bank of China) raised their combined assets from $21 trillion to more than $31 trillion.Yardeni Research, IncIn other words, a decreasing number of goods (and services) due to supply chain issues were chased by an ever-increasing amount of cash. It supported stock prices, home values, crypto, NFTs, and pretty much everything else that was perceived to have value.Fast forward to 2022 and we're in a situation where things are different. Inflation is high, supply chains are still broken, economic growth is slowing, and the Federal Reserve is expected to hike aggressively - in this case, while economic growth is weakening.As my friend and macro expert Nick Glinsman wrote last week, the Fed could be even more aggressive to tame inflation than some expect right now.When thinking about the Federal Reserve's job in getting inflation down, we often talk about real rates as measured by TIPS. However, instead we should be thinking about the gap between the Fed Funds rate and the consumer price index. This measurement, what I would call the \"real\" real rate, shows just how far we are from having a positive reading. It may be the case the amount of tightening needed to tame inflation is much greater than many realize. In fact, if the Fed were to ignore this measure, it risks throwing the economy into a recession without actually getting inflation under control.Real 10-year rates measured by TIPS are just barely positive right now, whereas there's a much larger gap between US CPI at 8.3% and the Fed Funds rate at 1%. If you look at the last inflationary period during the 1980s, it took years of the Fed Funds rate exceeding CPI for the Paul Volcker-led Fed to bring inflation down durably.What this means is that the Fed Funds futures' terminal rate estimate of 3.25% in March 2023 may not be enough to tame inflation. The Fed said it will keep raising rates until inflation falls towards its 2% target. As it's doubtful that inflation will fall to 3.25% by March, more aggressive hikes might be needed.After all, a big part of inflation is caused by issues the Fed cannot influence. The Fed cannot solve the war in Ukraine, it cannot increase oil production, it cannot add labor supply, and it cannot convince China to refrain from implementing new lockdowns.As a result, investors are de-risking their portfolios. The S&P 500 is down roughly 18.2% from its all-time high including dividends. The ARK Innovation Pacer Swan SOS Fund of Funds ETF|ETF (ARKK) is down 73% from its all-time high as investors have sold high-growth stocks. The tech-heavy QQQ ETF (QQQ) is down 28.4%. Apple has lost roughly a quarter of its value.Data by YChartsIn other words, not only has Apple been one of the best performers since the pandemic, but it's also doing rather well during the ongoing pandemic - compared to stocks that also shined prior to the sell-off. However, the company is not the world's most valuable company anymore, as it has been overtaken by oil giant Saudi Aramco as reported by the Wall Street Journal.Wall Street JournalWith that said, I could not care less. If anything, I'm very happy that Apple is down because I expected that inflation would hurt growth stocks.On top of that, long-term investors should cheer on these buying opportunities as Apple is far more than a \"growth\" stock. As I wrote in 2021 and in this article, Apple is the perfect mix between growth and value. It helped the stock outperform the market in the past and it protects investors in times when pure-growth plays are getting butchered.Over the past 10 years, Apple is still up more than 700% including dividends. That's more than twice the return of the S&P 500.Data by YChartsWith that said, market turmoil is opening up new opportunities that I want to use given my rather low Apple exposure.Apple's Growth & ValueNot only did I rename my Twitter account to Growth & Value, but the growth and value approach is also the cornerstone of my dividend growth portfolio, which is roughly 95% of my entire net worth.As the current market environment shows so well, the stocks that deliver both growth and value are the best performers. In this case, I consider \"value\" to be a company's ability to generate free cash flow used to maintain a healthy balance sheet and pay a growing dividend and the option to buy back shares. The \"growth\" aspect is straightforward as I dislike companies that are only able to pay a high yield without being able to grow, i.e., sales, EBITDA, and whatnot.The graph below is important for what I'm about to say next. I used this graph in a recent dividend growth-focused article as it shows that historically speaking companies with both growth and value have outperformed the (equal-weight) market by a mile. Dividend growers are not just providing a stream of cash for shareholders, but the fact that they are able to pay a growing dividend shows that their businesses are in a good place. Companies that paid a dividend without growth did also well, yet they underperformed growers by a mile.Hartford FundsApple has consistently grown its dividend since 2012, when it initiated a dividend for the first time since 1995. Seeking Alpha rates Apple's dividend growth \"A+\" compared to its industry peers.Seeking AlphaThe current quarterly dividend is $0.23 per share after the company announced a 4.5% hike on April 28. This translates to $0.92 per year, which is a 0.67% yield based on a $138 stock price. This means the chart I used last year is relevant again (the one below). Back then, the yield was 0.68% based on a $130 stock price. It happens every now and then that dividend investors get upset when I give them a company with a yield of 0.7%. 0.7% isn't a lot, that's right. $10,000 invested in Apple will result in $70 annual dividends. That won't get you very far - and $10,000 is a lot of money to a lot of people.Last year, the company hiked its dividend by 7.3%. In 2020, the company hiked by 6.5%. In 2019, the company hiked by 5.5%. Over the past 5 years, the average annual hike is 8.8%.For the sake of simplicity, let's assume the company maintains long-term dividend growth of 10% (above its current average). That would result in a yield on cost of 4.2% in 2040. That's roughly 18 years from now.Author4.2% on cost ends up being $420 in dividends (based on the $10,000 example - without adding shares). I doubt that will get us very far in 2040.So, why am I still so happy to discuss this dividend growth opportunity?The key is that Apple will not become a high-yield stock anytime soon. Growth is high and Apple generates a LOT of free cash flow.When Apple announced the aforementioned 4.5% dividend hike on April 28, it also announced a $90 billion increase to its existing buyback program.This is what the company commented on its 2Q22 earnings call:Given the continued confidence we have in our business now and into the future, today our Board has authorized an additional $90 billion for share repurchases, as we maintain our goal of getting to net cash neutral, overtime. We're also raising our dividend by 5% to $0.23 a share and we continue to plan for annual increases in the dividend going forward.In that quarter, Apple bought back $22.9 billion worth of stock while returning $3.6 billion in dividends. In other words, the company's priority is obvious. It will distribute cash in the most tax-efficient way, which also benefits its bottom line. A lower number of shares outstanding equals higher earnings per share.The graph below shows annual repurchases and dividends. Repurchases have exceeded $69 billion every single year since 2018.TIKR.comThese buybacks allowed the company to reduce shares outstanding from 20.9 billion in 2017 to 16.7 billion at the end of 2021. That's a decline of 20% or roughly 4.4% per year.While the company is not expected to be able to maintain its (EBITDA) margins in the years ahead, top-line growth is expected to provide a basis for $112 billion in FY2023 free cash flow and close to $120 billion in FY2024 free cash flow.TIKR.comUsing $112 billion in expected FCF as an example translates to an implied FCF yield of 5.0% of the company's $2.23 trillion market cap. In other words, the company could pay a dividend of 5.0% in FY2023 or buy back 5.0% of shares outstanding without using external funding or existing cash reserves.With that said, there's a lot more cash to distribute. Apple's target to become net-cash neutral means it will have to distribute not only all of its free cash flow but also its net cash balance. Net cash occurs when a company has more cash than gross debt. It's negative net debt. Most companies have positive net debt. Apple has more cash than gross debt. At the end of FY2021, the company had $66 billion in net cash. Analysts expect that number to rise to more than $120 billion in the years ahead if the company doesn't buy back shares rather aggressively.TIKR.comIt also opens the door to major M&A, which is why people have speculated that Apple may buy a company like Peloton (PTON), which is currently getting crushed on the stock market. However, while Apple isn't denying looking for bigger opportunities, it seems to work on its own products based on smaller acquisitions, which I believe is the way to go in that space.According to Tim Cook:We acquire a lot of smaller companies today and we'll continue to do that for IP and for great talent. And -- but we don't discount doing something larger either if the opportunity presents itself.Now, onto the valuation.Valuation & TimingApple is down 22.5% year to date, which pushed its market cap to $2.23 trillion. When subtracting $93.2 billion in expected FY2023 net cash, we get an enterprise value of $2.14 trillion.This is 15.8x next year's expected EBITDA of $135 billion. 15.8x is still above the company's pre-pandemic valuation, but well below prices investors were willing to pay in 2021 and most of 2020.Data by YChartsThe stock price is now back to where it was in early 2021 after investors pushed the stock to more than $180 at the end of 2021.FINVIZIt's hard to predict where the stock will bottom. If ongoing issues are persistent, we could see $120, which is where the stock found a lot of support in the first half of 2021. Below that, I could see $110.My strategy is to buy as close to my initial entry as possible ($123.69), if it falls below $120, I will buy more aggressively.If you're new to Apple and looking to initiate a position, I think it's best to break up an initial investment. For example, buy 25% now and add gradually over time. That way investors get to average down if the stock continues its decline while it gives them a foot in the door if the stock suddenly bottoms and takes off.TakeawayApple has gone nowhere since last year as inflation and related factors have made it impossible for growth stocks to continue their post-pandemic uptrend. However, Apple offers a great mix of both growth and value, which is why the damage to its stock price is somewhat limited compared to pure-growth plays. Apple is my favorite tech/consumer stock for a reason, which is its ability to generate a load of cash on top of its already stunning net cash position.The company is dedicated to distributing its existing cash position and most of its free cash flow via buybacks on top of steadily growing dividends. While the dividend yield is low, I still recommend AAPL to dividend growth investors. As long as investors are not dependent on income from their investment, I have little doubt that investors will enjoy long-term outperforming capital gains thanks to aggressive buybacks and a business model relying on its successful tech products and services.With that said, the ongoing market environment is tricky. As I explained in this article, the Fed is trying to get inflation down to 2%, which is a tough task due to factors the bank cannot directly influence. As a result, the Fed may have to be more aggressive than anticipated, which could hurt the economy more than expected at a time when consumers are already in a tough spot.Nonetheless, in order to make Apple a successful long-term investment, we need stock price weakness. The valuation has gotten a lot better and if the stock continues to drop, I will add more aggressively.Again, the stock market environment isn't fun, but buying Apple at better valuations is absolutely worth it as it gives us a high chance of long-term outperformance and wealth creation.(Dis)agree?

That’s not probably not likely any time soon. But this was a key turning point for the Fed — with clear implications for investors.</p>\n<p>Here are the five key takeaways.</p>\n<p><b>1. You should now favor quality</b></p>\n<p>The Fed policy shift confirms we are moving toward the middle of the economic cycle from the early stage where rip-roaring growth is the norm – which benefits more speculative stocks. This means it’s time to favor quality in the stock market, says Emily Roland, the co-chief investment strategist at John Hancock Investment Management.</p>\n<p>What does “quality” mean? Companies with characteristics like better profit margins, strong balance sheets, good free cash flow and higher returns on equity, she says.</p>\n<p>You could set up a screen for all these qualities. But here’s a shortcut. “The sector that has highest overlap with quality is technology,” says Roland. “Technology can weather a more modest growth climate.”</p>\n<p>Roland declined to suggest individual names, but here are a few ideas. One is Asana&nbsp;,which offers software that helps workers compartmentalize all the time vampires at work – like email and other communications — and better define and understand complex issues in the workplace like descriptions of who is responsible for what, the details of tasks on hand, and overarching missions and goals. The stock is up 123% from where I first highlighted it in my stock letter Brush Up on Stocks (link in my bio below) in November 2020, and 13% from where I just reiterated it on June 15.</p>\n<p>I suggested and bought this as a multiyear position, and it has more room to run from here, given the growth trends. Sales grew 61% in the first quarter, and company raised full-year guidance.</p>\n<p>Next, I recently reiterated Microsoft&nbsp;in my stock letter because of some insider buying and exposure to the cloud computing transition mega trend. You can see more on Microsoftin my overview here.</p>\n<p><b>2. Stay with reopening plays</b></p>\n<p>For Brian Barish, a portfolio manager at Cambiar Investors, the biggest takeaway on the Fed this week was its acknowledgement that extreme monetary accommodation needs to come to an end relatively soon. That’s good news.</p>\n<p>“There is a perception among a lot of people that the Fed has had a somewhat reckless posture,” says Barish. “It has had a policy consistent with another Great Financial Crisis type recession.

Be careful with meme stocks and cryptocurrencies</b></p>\n<p>The Fed sent a confusing mixed signal on Wednesday, points out Roland, the John Hancock Investment Management strategist. On the one hand, it clearly stated it thinks the recent inflation spike is transitory. This makes sense because a lot of the inflation spike is linked to supply-chain issues and shortages. The recent sharp rise in inflation is also a bit of a mirage since the comparison is to temporarily suppressed prices during the depths of the pandemic a year ago.</p>\n<p>But on the other hand, the Fed pulled forward the timeline for rate hikes. “If they believe inflation is transitory, why are they stepping up rate-hike expectations?

Trim real estate, energy and materials stocks</b></p>\n<p>For Tim Murray a capital market strategist in the multi-asset division of T.

This means companies with exposure to real assets that go up in value with inflation — like real estate, energy and materials.

That’s not probably not likely any time soon. But this was a key turning point for the Fed — with clear implications for investors.\nHere are the five key takeaways.\n1. You should now favor quality\nThe Fed policy shift confirms we are moving toward the middle of the economic cycle from the early stage where rip-roaring growth is the norm – which benefits more speculative stocks. This means it’s time to favor quality in the stock market, says Emily Roland, the co-chief investment strategist at John Hancock Investment Management.\nWhat does “quality” mean? Companies with characteristics like better profit margins, strong balance sheets, good free cash flow and higher returns on equity, she says.\nYou could set up a screen for all these qualities. But here’s a shortcut. “The sector that has highest overlap with quality is technology,” says Roland. “Technology can weather a more modest growth climate.”\nRoland declined to suggest individual names, but here are a few ideas. One is Asana ,which offers software that helps workers compartmentalize all the time vampires at work – like email and other communications — and better define and understand complex issues in the workplace like descriptions of who is responsible for what, the details of tasks on hand, and overarching missions and goals. The stock is up 123% from where I first highlighted it in my stock letter Brush Up on Stocks (link in my bio below) in November 2020, and 13% from where I just reiterated it on June 15.\nI suggested and bought this as a multiyear position, and it has more room to run from here, given the growth trends. Sales grew 61% in the first quarter, and company raised full-year guidance.\nNext, I recently reiterated Microsoft in my stock letter because of some insider buying and exposure to the cloud computing transition mega trend. You can see more on Microsoftin my overview here.\n2. Stay with reopening plays\nFor Brian Barish, a portfolio manager at Cambiar Investors, the biggest takeaway on the Fed this week was its acknowledgement that extreme monetary accommodation needs to come to an end relatively soon. That’s good news.\n“There is a perception among a lot of people that the Fed has had a somewhat reckless posture,” says Barish. “It has had a policy consistent with another Great Financial Crisis type recession. In a very positive surprise, that is not what happened.”\nBut while it’s due time to cut back stimulus, a more aggressive Fed also makes investors nervous because of the possibility for policy errors that create the next recession. Barish is not concerned about that just yet. So he’s sticking with reopening plays, like the casino company Penn National Gaming .Besides picking up business as people come out of hiding and visit casinos again, Penn National Gaming has solid exposure to online gaming through its ownership of Barstool Sports.\n“Online gaming is a big, long-term market. We are literally in the first inning,” he says. Only one of the big four states in the country — New York — has approved online gaming. Barish thinks California, Texas and Florida will also go along; the tax revenue is just too tempting.\nBarish is worth listening to because the Cambiar Opportunity Fund he helps manage beats its Morningstar large value category and Russell 1000 Value benchmark by 3.5 percentage points annualized over the past five years.\nNext, Barish likes Uber,,the ride-hailing software company. It has the advantage of size over competitor Lyft .New management has cut back on more speculative investment projects like flying taxis. “As we get to other side of the pandemic, Uber will be an indispensable service,” says Barish. You can seemy overview of Uber and Lyft here.\nBarish likes Sysco as a reopening play because it supplies food and equipment to restaurants. He also cites Bed Bath & Beyond in retail, a turnaround led by Anu Gupta who brings experience from Target. The home-goods chain is improving the business by reducing the number of products on offer, cutting back on coupons and introducing store brands.\nSandy Villere, portfolio manager with Villere & Co. in New Orleans, also thinks it makes sense to stay with reopening plays — because the projected Fed rate hikes are in the distant future. “If rates are going to stay low until the end of 2023, that is still a long time to have low rates. I am not going to cash any time soon.”\nHe likes the casino company Caesars Entertainment in part because it, too, has exposure to online gaming through its recent acquisition of William Hill. He also owns the bank First Hawaiian ,which should benefit from a lift to the Hawaiian economy as tourists come back.\n3. Be careful with meme stocks and cryptocurrencies\nThe Fed sent a confusing mixed signal on Wednesday, points out Roland, the John Hancock Investment Management strategist. On the one hand, it clearly stated it thinks the recent inflation spike is transitory. This makes sense because a lot of the inflation spike is linked to supply-chain issues and shortages. The recent sharp rise in inflation is also a bit of a mirage since the comparison is to temporarily suppressed prices during the depths of the pandemic a year ago.\nBut on the other hand, the Fed pulled forward the timeline for rate hikes. “If they believe inflation is transitory, why are they stepping up rate-hike expectations? One theory is the Fed is concerned about excesses in the market in meme stocks and cryptocurrencies,” says Roland.\nExcess liquidity created by the Fed and spending by politicians in Washington have clearly contributed to these pockets of speculative excess. The Fed may be interesting in curtailing the excesses contributing to huge spikes in bitcoin ,and stocks like GameStop  and AMC Entertainment .\n4. Trim real estate, energy and materials stocks\nFor Tim Murray a capital market strategist in the multi-asset division of T. Rowe Price, the big takeaway on the Fed last week is that it is getting more vigilant about inflation. “The Fed is no longer on autopilot,” he says.\nThat’s bad news for areas of the market that benefit the most from inflation. This means companies with exposure to real assets that go up in value with inflation — like real estate, energy and materials. But Murray doesn’t think the Fed will be so vigilant that it stamps out economic growth. So, there’s life left in other cyclical stocks in sectors like industrials.\n5. Don’t lose sleep worrying about a taper tantrum\nTapering is on the table now, and it is likely to start by the end of the year. In the past, this has created big selloffs in the S&P 500 ,Nasdaq Composite and the Dow Jones Industrial Average – known as taper tantrums. Will we get a repeat?\n“Probably not,” says Murray. “In 2013 investors were not expecting it, whereas this time the Fed has been preparing everyone for it.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":101,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3572923586954779","authorId":"3572923586954779","name":"LimLS","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/217b03b0c4808fb537070ba4e8f9d83f","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"authorIdStr":"3572923586954779","idStr":"3572923586954779"},"content":"everyone expecting a correction but it might never come.

And that means you want to go very lightly if you're short a stock like Clover Health Investments (CLOV) -Get Report, 34% shorted.”\n\"The meme stocks tend not to care about the actual fundamentals as much as they care about busting the shorts,\" Cramer said.\nIn a special report from CME Group, Payal Shaw writes: The Russell 2000 reconstitutes its equity market indices every June, due primarily to the ever-shifting market tides that could throw the index out of whack if left unattended. Consequently, the Russell must recast to properly reflect those changes and to comply with its own public and transparent rules methodology.\nWhy is the rebalancing so important to investors?\nThe recast could lead to new opportunities reflecting shifts in market prices and volatility. The annual reconstitution is one of the most significant drivers of short-term shifts in supply and demand for U.S. equities, often leading to sizable price movements and volatility in individual company names or industry sectors. The final day of the reconstitution has typically been one of the highest trading volume days of the year in U.S. equity markets.\nFriday, investors can capitalize on companies moving in and out of the Russell 2000 after rebalancing by buying the former and selling the latter.\nThe annual reconstitution requires thoughtful and well-executed risk management on the part of investors. It is one of the most significant drivers of short-term shifts in supply and demand for U.S. equities, often leading to sizable price movements and volatility in individual companies or industry sectors.\nInvestors thinking about rebalancing their index exposures could involve buying all index additions and selling all index deletions, while carefully weighing the trade-offs between tracking error and minimization of price impacts and trading costs. Although reconstitution poses a risk of performance slippage and index tracking error, it also can present opportunities for investors seeking to benefit from share price moves that arise from reconstitution.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":144,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":121403280,"gmtCreate":1624486823440,"gmtModify":1703837921766,"author":{"id":"3560929247961996","authorId":"3560929247961996","name":"Fredteh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61eaccb8085fb08c692502d98314f43d","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3560929247961996","idStr":"3560929247961996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"During Covid pendemic, good buy Etsy &amp; Sea.

Even though Sea is far from inexpensive, the premium you'd be paying takes into account that it has three exceptionally fast-growing operating segments.</p>\n<p>For the time being, Sea is generating virtually all of its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) from its gaming division. Similar to online shopping, gaming benefited notably from people being stuck in their homes. Since Sea's mobile games target global audiences, and the pandemic is nowhere near over in many parts of the world, demand for gaming entertainment will likely remain robust. Over the past year (through the end of March), quarterly active paying users grew by 124%, with 12.3% of the company's total gamers now paying to play.</p>\n<p>Over the long run, Sea's crown jewel should be its e-commerce platform Shopee, which is consistently the most-popular shopping download in Southeastern Asia, and is gaining significant traction in Brazil. With a focus on emerging markets and regions where the middle class is growing at an incredible rate, Shopee saw gross orders jump 153% in the first quarter, with the gross merchandise value of these orders doubling to $12.6 billion. This is just the tip of the iceberg.</p>\n<p>Lastly, Sea's digital financial services division is bringing mobile wallet services to underbanked regions.

In short, demand for third-party cybersecurity solutions providers is soaring.</p>\n<p>While there is no shortage of cybersecurity specialists to choose from, what sets CrowdStrike apart is its cloud-native Falcon platform. Being built in the cloud, and relying on artificial intelligence, Falcon oversees approximately 6 trillion events each week. This is to say that CrowdStrike's core platform is getting smarter at recognizing and responding to potential threats over time. And in many instances, CrowdStrike's solutions are more efficient and cost-effective than on-premises security options.</p>\n<p>It's plainly evident from the company's operating results that Falcon is resonating with enterprise customers. It's been able to retain 98% of its customers for two consecutive years, and existing clients have spent between 23% and 47% more on a year-over-year basis for 12 straight quarters. Arguably even more impressive is that 64% of customers have purchased four or more cloud-module subscriptions, which is up from 9% just four years ago. It's this rapid scaling from the company's enterprise clients that has CrowdStrike generating a subscription gross margin in the upper 70% range.</p>\n<p>Investors should expect CrowdStrike to grow by 30% or more on an annual basis through the midpoint of the decade.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Forget Crypto: These Supercharged Stocks Can Make You Rich</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\">\nForget Crypto: These Supercharged Stocks Can Make You Rich\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-23 18:46 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/23/forget-crypto-supercharged-stocks-make-you-rich/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The stock market has long been the preferred creator of wealth.

Don't make these huge mistakes.","content":"<p>For months, investors have been on the edge of their seats just waiting for their portfolio values to tumble. Stocks have been largely overvalued for months, and many believe that conditions are ripe for a near-term stock market crash. In fact, there's a solid chance stock values could tank before May comes to a close.</p><p>Of course, without a crystal ball, it's impossible to predict when the next stock market crash will occur. But it's important to be ready for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> at all times, and that includes knowing what <i>not</i> to do if things take a turn for the worse. Here are three traps you shouldn't fall into if stock market volatility strikes soon.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F626498%2Fstock-market-downward-graph_gettyimages-463115585.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"494\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>1. Stop investing</h2><p>Many people assume that when stocks tank, the best idea is to just sit back and watch from the sidelines. But actually, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the best times to invest is during a broad market correction or crash, because that's when you're likely to find stocks on sale.</p><p>Say you've been eying a company with a share price of $150. If its shares fall to $120 during a market crash, you have a prime opportunity to scoop them up at a discount -- and why would you want to miss out on that?</p><p>In fact, it's actually a good idea to stockpile some cash ahead of a market crash so you have an opportunity to buy stocks as their value drops. Just don't make the mistake of tapping your emergency fund -- that money should be reserved for unplanned bills only.</p><h2>2. Hit pause on your retirement plan contributions</h2><p>Just as you may be inclined to avoid buying stocks when the market declines, so too may the idea of pausing your retirement plan contributions enter your mind. But remember, funding an IRA or 401(k) doesn't just give you money to spend in the future -- it can also shield more of your income from the IRS at present (assuming you contribute to a traditional retirement plan and not a Roth account). And that's a tax break you really don't want to give up. As such, if you have the means to keep putting money into a retirement account, stick with that plan.</p><h2>3. Try to time the market by buying stocks at an absolute low</h2><p>Stock market crashes don't tend to last a single day. They can last weeks, months, or, in more extreme cases, years. Many investors spin their wheels during market crashes by trying to figure out when stocks will truly hit their low point. But doing so could cause you to lose out on prime buying opportunities.</p><p>Rather than attempt to time the market when stocks are down, keep a watchlist of companies you're hoping to invest in, and jump when their stocks go on sale.

Stocks have been largely overvalued for months, and many believe that conditions are ripe for a near-term stock market crash. In fact, there's a solid chance stock values could tank before May comes to a close.Of course, without a crystal ball, it's impossible to predict when the next stock market crash will occur. But it's important to be ready for one at all times, and that includes knowing what not to do if things take a turn for the worse. Here are three traps you shouldn't fall into if stock market volatility strikes soon.Image source: Getty Images.1. Stop investingMany people assume that when stocks tank, the best idea is to just sit back and watch from the sidelines. But actually, one of the best times to invest is during a broad market correction or crash, because that's when you're likely to find stocks on sale.Say you've been eying a company with a share price of $150. If its shares fall to $120 during a market crash, you have a prime opportunity to scoop them up at a discount -- and why would you want to miss out on that?In fact, it's actually a good idea to stockpile some cash ahead of a market crash so you have an opportunity to buy stocks as their value drops. Just don't make the mistake of tapping your emergency fund -- that money should be reserved for unplanned bills only.2. Hit pause on your retirement plan contributionsJust as you may be inclined to avoid buying stocks when the market declines, so too may the idea of pausing your retirement plan contributions enter your mind. But remember, funding an IRA or 401(k) doesn't just give you money to spend in the future -- it can also shield more of your income from the IRS at present (assuming you contribute to a traditional retirement plan and not a Roth account). And that's a tax break you really don't want to give up. As such, if you have the means to keep putting money into a retirement account, stick with that plan.3. Try to time the market by buying stocks at an absolute lowStock market crashes don't tend to last a single day. They can last weeks, months, or, in more extreme cases, years. Many investors spin their wheels during market crashes by trying to figure out when stocks will truly hit their low point. But doing so could cause you to lose out on prime buying opportunities.Rather than attempt to time the market when stocks are down, keep a watchlist of companies you're hoping to invest in, and jump when their stocks go on sale. In fact, rather than ask yourself whether you're getting the lowest price for a given stock, ask yourself whether you think that price will go up over time. If the answer is yes, then it's a good time to buy. Period.Will the stock market crumble in May? It could, or maybe it won't. But at some point, stocks are apt to crash, even if for a brief period of time, and knowing what not to do when that happens could help you emerge from a downturn not only unscathed, but wealthier than when you started.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":233,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":150886993,"gmtCreate":1624892842112,"gmtModify":1703847347889,"author":{"id":"3560929247961996","authorId":"3560929247961996","name":"Fredteh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61eaccb8085fb08c692502d98314f43d","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3560929247961996","idStr":"3560929247961996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great to own these stocks for long term","listText":"Great to own these stocks for long term","text":"Great to own these stocks for long term","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/150886993","repostId":"2146002845","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2146002845","pubTimestamp":1624866683,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2146002845?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-28 15:51","market":"us","language":"en","title":"These Are 5 of the Fastest-Growing Large-Cap Stocks on the Planet","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2146002845","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Sales for these companies should skyrocket between 400% and 1,118% over the next four years.","content":"<p>For more than a decade, growth stocks have been all the rage on Wall Street.

Over the next four years investors will struggle to find a green-energy stock expanding quicker than hydrogen fuel-cell solutions provider <b>Plug Power</b> (NASDAQ:PLUG). After delivering $337 million in sales in 2020, Plug has guided for $1.7 billion in full-year revenue for 2024. That's a cool 404% increase, if it comes to fruition.</p>\n<p>For the time being, climate change is Plug Power's best friend. Joe Biden winning the presidency last year, coupled with Democrats regaining control of the Senate by the narrowest of margins, gives the current administration an opportunity to pass a clean energy bill. While it's unclear what a final infrastructure bill might look like, it's almost a certainty that clean vehicle solutions, such as those developed by Plug Power, will benefit.</p>\n<p>Additionally, the company secured two joint ventures just days apart in January. First, SK Group took a 10% equity stake in the company, with the duo aiming to introduce hydrogen fuel-cell-powered vehicles and hydrogen refilling stations in South Korea. A few days later, Plug landed a deal with French automaker <b>Renault</b> that'll see the two go after Europe's light commercial vehicle market. Both joint ventures should result in Plug Power's orders catapulting higher.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8db519446ea812ab6b8023df3f60f0c3\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a>: Implied four-year sales growth of 559%</h2>\n<p>The cloud computing space is home to dozens of fast-growing companies, none of which appear to be increasing its sales faster than cloud data-warehousing company <b>Snowflake</b> (NYSE:SNOW). In fiscal 2021, Snowflake's sales grew by 124% to $592 million. But based on Wall Street's consensus for fiscal 2025, it's on track to generate $3.9 billion in revenue. This would represent a four-year increase of 559%.</p>\n<p>What makes Snowflake so special is the company's competitive advantages. For example, it's shunned subscriptions in favor of a pay-as-you-go operating model. Customers pay for the amount of data they store and the number of Snowflake Compute Credits used. This allows the company's clients to keep better tabs on their expenses.</p>\n<p>Also, since Snowflake's solutions are built atop the most popular cloud infrastructure platforms, customers can share data seamlessly, even across competing services.</p>\n<p>Though it's the fastest-growing cloud stock, Snowflake is also one of the priciest. It's currently valued at 67 times projected sales for fiscal 2022 and roughly 19 times estimated sales four years from now. But if the company makes good on its fiscal 2029 outlook of $10 billion in product sales, paying this premium may be well worth it.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/96d1687ba107475c062f0147fa401ff2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"375\"><span>The NIO EC6 EV crossover SUV. Image source: NIO.</span></p>\n<h2>NIO: Implied four-year sales growth of 561%</h2>\n<p>Another absolute beast of a growth trend this decade is the rise of electric vehicles (EV). Though <b>Tesla</b>&nbsp;and the U.S. EV market tend to get a lot of attention, the biggest opportunity is actually China. That's why <b>NIO</b> (NYSE:NIO) finds itself as one of the fastest-growing large-cap stocks on the planet. If all goes well, full-year sales can catapult from about $2.5 billion in 2020 to $16.8 billion in 2024. That's a sales increase of approximately 561%.</p>\n<p>Despite a global chip shortage, NIO has shown Wall Street that it can effectively scale its production. After delivering 20,060 vehicles in the first quarter, the company is on pace to deliver between 21,000 and 22,000 EVs in the second quarter. Once global chip supply issues are resolved, NIO will look to boost its annual delivery capacity to around 150,000 EVs.</p>\n<p>For NIO, innovation is extremely important. It's been introducing one new vehicle each year, with the sportier EC6 crossover SUV hitting showrooms last summer. It's quickly become a hit with EV buyers.</p>\n<p>Additionally, NIO introduced a battery-as-a-service program. For a monthly fee, this subscription service allows buyers to replace or upgrade their vehicle's batteries. It also reduces the initial purchase price of the vehicle. Though NIO is giving up near-term margin by reducing the purchase price of its EVs, it's keeping buyers loyal and generating very high margin residual service revenue.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/849b25e21ebbcd8fae1e28f0543300db\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Novavax: Implied four-year sales growth of 1,118%</h2>\n<p>The crème de la crème of fast-growing large-cap companies is biotech stock <b>Novavax</b> (NASDAQ:NVAX). Following a pandemic-ravaged year where it brought in $476 million in sales, Wall Street is looking for Novavax to generate $5.8 billion in annual revenue in 2024. That's your run-of-the-mill sales increase of 1,118% over the coming four years.</p>\n<p>As you may have rightly guessed, Novavax's core catalyst is a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. The company's candidate, NVX-CoV2373 (these scientific names just roll off the tongue), demonstrated nearly 90% efficacy in a large U.K. study, and recently reported a 90.4% trial efficacy in the United States.&nbsp; With efficacy rates this high, Novavax could potentially displace <b>Johnson &amp; Johnson</b>'s single-dose vaccine, which offered an efficacy of 72%.</p>\n<p>Though you'd think this was a cut-and-dried success story, Novavax has delayed its emergency-use authorization filings in Europe, the U.S., and U.K. until the third quarter, and it likely won't be at full production capacity till the fourth quarter. This waiting game has caused wild vacillations in Novavax's share price of late.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Novavax has a good chance of being one of the primary COVID-19 vaccines used in emerging markets, and it could become a key player if booster shots become necessary.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>These Are 5 of the Fastest-Growing Large-Cap Stocks on the Planet</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\">\nThese Are 5 of the Fastest-Growing Large-Cap Stocks on the Planet\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-28 15:51 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/27/5-of-fastest-growing-large-cap-stocks-on-planet/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>For more than a decade, growth stocks have been all the rage on Wall Street.

A few days later, Plug landed a deal with French automaker Renault that'll see the two go after Europe's light commercial vehicle market. Both joint ventures should result in Plug Power's orders catapulting higher.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nSnowflake: Implied four-year sales growth of 559%\nThe cloud computing space is home to dozens of fast-growing companies, none of which appear to be increasing its sales faster than cloud data-warehousing company Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW). In fiscal 2021, Snowflake's sales grew by 124% to $592 million. But based on Wall Street's consensus for fiscal 2025, it's on track to generate $3.9 billion in revenue. This would represent a four-year increase of 559%.\nWhat makes Snowflake so special is the company's competitive advantages. For example, it's shunned subscriptions in favor of a pay-as-you-go operating model. Customers pay for the amount of data they store and the number of Snowflake Compute Credits used. This allows the company's clients to keep better tabs on their expenses.\nAlso, since Snowflake's solutions are built atop the most popular cloud infrastructure platforms, customers can share data seamlessly, even across competing services.\nThough it's the fastest-growing cloud stock, Snowflake is also one of the priciest. It's currently valued at 67 times projected sales for fiscal 2022 and roughly 19 times estimated sales four years from now. But if the company makes good on its fiscal 2029 outlook of $10 billion in product sales, paying this premium may be well worth it.\nThe NIO EC6 EV crossover SUV. Image source: NIO.\nNIO: Implied four-year sales growth of 561%\nAnother absolute beast of a growth trend this decade is the rise of electric vehicles (EV). Though Tesla and the U.S. EV market tend to get a lot of attention, the biggest opportunity is actually China. That's why NIO (NYSE:NIO) finds itself as one of the fastest-growing large-cap stocks on the planet. If all goes well, full-year sales can catapult from about $2.5 billion in 2020 to $16.8 billion in 2024. That's a sales increase of approximately 561%.\nDespite a global chip shortage, NIO has shown Wall Street that it can effectively scale its production. After delivering 20,060 vehicles in the first quarter, the company is on pace to deliver between 21,000 and 22,000 EVs in the second quarter. Once global chip supply issues are resolved, NIO will look to boost its annual delivery capacity to around 150,000 EVs.\nFor NIO, innovation is extremely important. It's been introducing one new vehicle each year, with the sportier EC6 crossover SUV hitting showrooms last summer. It's quickly become a hit with EV buyers.\nAdditionally, NIO introduced a battery-as-a-service program. For a monthly fee, this subscription service allows buyers to replace or upgrade their vehicle's batteries. It also reduces the initial purchase price of the vehicle. Though NIO is giving up near-term margin by reducing the purchase price of its EVs, it's keeping buyers loyal and generating very high margin residual service revenue.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nNovavax: Implied four-year sales growth of 1,118%\nThe crème de la crème of fast-growing large-cap companies is biotech stock Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX). Following a pandemic-ravaged year where it brought in $476 million in sales, Wall Street is looking for Novavax to generate $5.8 billion in annual revenue in 2024. That's your run-of-the-mill sales increase of 1,118% over the coming four years.\nAs you may have rightly guessed, Novavax's core catalyst is a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. The company's candidate, NVX-CoV2373 (these scientific names just roll off the tongue), demonstrated nearly 90% efficacy in a large U.K. study, and recently reported a 90.4% trial efficacy in the United States.  With efficacy rates this high, Novavax could potentially displace Johnson & Johnson's single-dose vaccine, which offered an efficacy of 72%.\nThough you'd think this was a cut-and-dried success story, Novavax has delayed its emergency-use authorization filings in Europe, the U.S., and U.K. until the third quarter, and it likely won't be at full production capacity till the fourth quarter. This waiting game has caused wild vacillations in Novavax's share price of late.\nNevertheless, Novavax has a good chance of being one of the primary COVID-19 vaccines used in emerging markets, and it could become a key player if booster shots become necessary.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":62,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":125184068,"gmtCreate":1624664395554,"gmtModify":1703842952986,"author":{"id":"3560929247961996","authorId":"3560929247961996","name":"Fredteh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61eaccb8085fb08c692502d98314f43d","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3560929247961996","idStr":"3560929247961996"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good move by Microsoft to launch Window 11.
