In both of these cases, investors expect the value of the stock to increase over time.</p>\n<p>One of the differences between growth investing and value investing is the stage of the company. Growth companies are typically new and developing. As a result, they're often not profitable, and therefore risky to hold, but they also offer the maximum potential for gains, which makes them appealing.</p>\n<p>Ideal growth stocks have proved themselves enough that they're worthwhile bets, even though they may retain elements of risk.<b>Airbnb</b> (NASDAQ:ABNB) and<b>Square</b> (NYSE:SQ) have both demonstrated enormous relevance and stability, and they're both growing through the roof. These are stocks you can hold forever and expect to skyrocket.</p>\n<p>Airbnb guests. Image source: Airbnb.</p>\n<p><b>Airbnb: Disrupting travel</b></p>\n<p>Airbnb stock rocketed 50% from its first-day closing price within two months of its IPO, but it's fallen far from there since. Even now, 26% off their February high, shares are trading at an outrageous 22 times sales.</p>\n<p>Perhaps that's justified not only by the travel company's recent performance, but by its potential. In the second quarter, Airbnb sales increased 299% year over year, making up for lackluster sales during the height of pandemic restrictions. Gross booking value increased 320%, and the net loss contracted year over year.</p>\n<p>But it's only going to get better. CFO Dave Stephenson said that management is expecting record sales and profits in the third quarter. \"People want to travel,\" he said, \"and they are really resilient in finding ways to travel.\"</p>\n<p>And Airbnb offers paths toward travel under challenging circumstances. That's why it was able to bounce back so phenomenally in Q2, and why investors can expect the company to crank out high growth going forward. It doesn't need to invest in costly building developments to provide more residences, but it can increase locations by bringing in more hosts. It also offers living quarters in remote locations, which traditional travel can't match, as well as better terms for longer stays, which contributed to higher sales in the second quarter. Even if those trends change, Airbnb's adaptive model means that it's likely to be able to support whatever the newest ways to travel are at any given time.</p>\n<p>The high valuation means that investors may face volatility in the near future, but holding the stock long-term is a great bet for high gains.</p>\n<p><b>Square: A fintech in motion</b></p>\n<p>Square has been a hot stock for a while now, because it keeps launching new services and upgrading its business. This has led to a five-year return of more than 2,000% for Square stockholders. It hasn't stopped, gaining 24% year to date as of this writing, and it doesn't seem like it's anywhere near taking a break soon.</p>\n<p>Square has two core businesses: its original sellers business, which provides payment and management solutions for small businesses, and Cash App, its peer-to-peer payments app, which now also offers stock and cryptocurrency trading.<b>Bitcoin</b> (CRYPTO:BTC) trading has powered a lot of recent growth, since Square counts it as revenue, especially last year when the sellers business suffered because of closed stores. But total revenue increased 143% year over year in the second quarter, with the sellers business's sales increasing 81%.

In both of these cases, investors expect the value of the stock to increase over time.\nOne of the differences between growth investing and value investing is the stage of the company. Growth companies are typically new and developing. As a result, they're often not profitable, and therefore risky to hold, but they also offer the maximum potential for gains, which makes them appealing.\nIdeal growth stocks have proved themselves enough that they're worthwhile bets, even though they may retain elements of risk.Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB) andSquare (NYSE:SQ) have both demonstrated enormous relevance and stability, and they're both growing through the roof. These are stocks you can hold forever and expect to skyrocket.\nAirbnb guests. Image source: Airbnb.\nAirbnb: Disrupting travel\nAirbnb stock rocketed 50% from its first-day closing price within two months of its IPO, but it's fallen far from there since. Even now, 26% off their February high, shares are trading at an outrageous 22 times sales.\nPerhaps that's justified not only by the travel company's recent performance, but by its potential. In the second quarter, Airbnb sales increased 299% year over year, making up for lackluster sales during the height of pandemic restrictions. Gross booking value increased 320%, and the net loss contracted year over year.\nBut it's only going to get better. CFO Dave Stephenson said that management is expecting record sales and profits in the third quarter. \"People want to travel,\" he said, \"and they are really resilient in finding ways to travel.\"\nAnd Airbnb offers paths toward travel under challenging circumstances. That's why it was able to bounce back so phenomenally in Q2, and why investors can expect the company to crank out high growth going forward. It doesn't need to invest in costly building developments to provide more residences, but it can increase locations by bringing in more hosts. It also offers living quarters in remote locations, which traditional travel can't match, as well as better terms for longer stays, which contributed to higher sales in the second quarter. Even if those trends change, Airbnb's adaptive model means that it's likely to be able to support whatever the newest ways to travel are at any given time.\nThe high valuation means that investors may face volatility in the near future, but holding the stock long-term is a great bet for high gains.\nSquare: A fintech in motion\nSquare has been a hot stock for a while now, because it keeps launching new services and upgrading its business. This has led to a five-year return of more than 2,000% for Square stockholders. It hasn't stopped, gaining 24% year to date as of this writing, and it doesn't seem like it's anywhere near taking a break soon.\nSquare has two core businesses: its original sellers business, which provides payment and management solutions for small businesses, and Cash App, its peer-to-peer payments app, which now also offers stock and cryptocurrency trading.Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) trading has powered a lot of recent growth, since Square counts it as revenue, especially last year when the sellers business suffered because of closed stores. But total revenue increased 143% year over year in the second quarter, with the sellers business's sales increasing 81%. Revenue increased 87% without Bitcoin.It's also posted three consecutive profitable quarters after a loss at the beginning of the pandemic.\nThe company made two important announcements in the past two months that should drive even more business. One is the launch of a highly anticipated banking app, which gives it more ways to make money. The other is the acquisition ofAfterpay, a company that offers buy now, pay later services. These moves both chip away at traditional banking services and open up new streams of revenue for the company, which could become huge.\nInvestors can count on similarly big moves from Square in the future, making it a stock you can likely hold forever as it piles on more gains.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":247,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":106131406,"gmtCreate":1620092204205,"gmtModify":1704338515049,"author":{"id":"3561696423816116","authorId":"3561696423816116","name":"kitlim","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3561696423816116","authorIdStr":"3561696423816116"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Both are great","listText":"Both are great","text":"Both are great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/106131406","repostId":"2132525597","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2132525597","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1620051420,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2132525597?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-03 22:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Forget Intel, Buy These 2 Semiconductor Stocks Instead","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2132525597","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The chipmaking giant's stock is cheap for obvious reasons.","content":"<p><b>Intel</b>'s (NASDAQ:INTC) stock recently slumped after the chipmaker posted its first-quarter earnings report.

The two will keep working together on philanthropic efforts, which have addressed education, gender equality and health care.\"After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage,\" Bill and Melinda Gates wrote in a statement that Bill Gatestweeted out.“Over the last 27 years, we have raised three incredible children and built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives. We continue to share a belief in that mission and will continue our work together at the foundation, but we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives. We ask for space and privacy for our family as we begin to navigate this new life.”The decision reflects a personal change at the top of American business.Bill Gates led Microsoft as CEO from its founding with Paul Allen in 1975 until 2000, leaving Steve Ballmer to run the company, while Bill Gates became chairman and chief software architect. In 2008 Gatesgave up his day-to-day roleat the company to spend more time on the nonprofit Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.Last year Bill Gatesstepped downfrom Microsoft’s board asthe coronavirusbecame a force around the world. He began spending more time on the foundation alongside Melinda Gates. The two are co-chairs and trustees of the foundation, which launched in 2000.Bill and Melinda Gates both worked at Microsoft. She had been a general manager at the software company, where she worked on products such as the Encarta encyclopedia, according to herLinkedIn profile. The two met at a dinner for Microsoft employees in 1987. “It took him quite a few months before he asked me out,” Melinda Gateslater said. Bill Gates hadweighed the pros and cons on a blackboard, and in 1994 the couple were married in Hawaii.Financial details of the Gateses parting ways are not yet clear. Bill Gates owns 1.37% of Microsoft’s outstanding shares, which are worth more than $26 billion, according to FactSet. The couple were creators, along with Warren Buffett, of theGiving Pledge, a program that requires participants to give away more than half of their wealth.At one point the couple decided to move $20 billion worth of Microsoft stock to the foundation as they sought to increase their commitment to philanthropy, Bill Gates wrote in a 2019blog post. Today the foundation has more than $51 billion in assets, according to a tax filing, making itone of the world’s wealthiest foundations.“In the case of Melinda, it is a truly equal partner,” Bill Gates said in the 2019 Netflix documentary “Inside Bill’s Brain.” “She’s a lot like me in that she is optimistic and she is interested in science. She is better with people than I am. She’s a tiny bit less hardcore about knowing, you know, immunology, than I am.”In 2015 the two began pursuing areas they were interested in. Bill Gates established Breakthrough Energy, an initiative to slow climate change that includes a venture arm, and Melinda Gates created Pivotal Ventures, a company that makes investments to foster equality.For Valentine’s Day in 2020, Bill Gates posted a photoon Instagramshowing him standing with his arm around Melinda Gates. “I couldn’t ask for a better partner on this journey,” the caption said.Each year for more than a decade the Gateses have published a letter about their foundation work. In thelatest one, published in January, they reflected on the impact of the pandemic, beyond supporting the development of vaccines. “For us, the days became a blur of video meetings, troubling news alerts, and microwaved meals,” they wrote.Bill Gates is the world’s fourth richest person, behindAmazon’sJeff Bezos, LVMH’s Bernard Arnault and Tesla’s Elon Musk, according toForbes.The announcement comes two years after Bezos said he and his wife, MacKenzie, weregetting divorced. Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos are among the world’s richest people, and Amazon and Microsoft compete in the cloud computing business. Amazon said earlier this year that Bezos would be stepping down from his post as CEO and that cloud chief Andy Jassywould succeed him.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":392,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":106130419,"gmtCreate":1620092010831,"gmtModify":1704338510674,"author":{"id":"3561696423816116","authorId":"3561696423816116","name":"kitlim","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3561696423816116","authorIdStr":"3561696423816116"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yes","listText":"Yes","text":"Yes","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/106130419","repostId":"2132592752","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2132592752","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1620051420,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2132592752?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-03 22:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"6 Reasons to Buy Apple Stock and Never Sell","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2132592752","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Even as the most valuable company in the world, there's still lots to like about the iPhone maker.","content":"<p><b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL) made history on Aug. 2, 2018, when it became the first U.S. public company in history to achieve a market cap of $1 trillion.

The resurgence of the iPhone</h2>\n<p>It wasn't terribly long ago that some were declaring the death of the iPhone, but the release of its latest device product lineup has shown that simply isn't the case. Apple launched four new iPhone models in 2020 -- the most ever released in a single year. The iPhone 12, 12 Mini, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max run the gamut in terms of retail price and capabilities, and they truly offer something for everyone.</p>\n<p>During the 2020 holiday quarter, Apple reported all-time record revenue of $111 billion, up 21% year over year, with 59% of that coming from iPhone sales. That could be just the beginning. Earlier this year, CEO Tim Cook revealed that Apple has an installed base of 1.65 billion devices, including more than 1 billion active iPhones. Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives estimates that roughly 40% of iPhone users haven't upgraded their device over the past 3.5 years. This could be the beginning of the long-awaited \"supercycle,\" which could ultimately drive Apple's market cap to $3 trillion over the coming year.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a64009d3188b63b0581fb1831fef8757\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"625\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Apple.</p>\n<h2>3. Apple: It's what the fashionable are wearing</h2>\n<p>Investors shouldn't underestimate the growing importance of Apple's wearables business. In fiscal 2020 (ended Sept. 26, 2020), the company's wearables, home, and accessories segment grew 25% compared to 2019, generating a record $30 billion and accounting for more than 11% of Apple's total revenue. Not only that, but the segment ended the year on a high note, with each product category -- wearables, home, and accessories -- generating record sales. Apple noted at the time that its \"wearables business is now the size of a Fortune 130 company.\"</p>\n<p>Over the past six months, growth in the segment has accelerated. Wearables, home, and accessories revenue climbed nearly 28% year over year, led by strong demand for AirPods, AirPods Pro, and Apple Watch.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dbf3b3b69fdf1c8681bf8a77927aba27\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"510\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Apple.</p>\n<h2>4. It's all about the services</h2>\n<p>Cook announced in early 2017 that Apple was aiming to double its services revenue by the end of 2020. In July 2020, he revealed that Apple had achieved that lofty goal a full six months ahead of schedule.</p>\n<p>The business is off to a quick start in 2021. For Apple's fiscal 2021 second quarter (ended March 27, 2021), the services segment posted all-time record revenue of $16.9 billion, up nearly 27% year over year, and marking the fastest rate of growth in more than two years.</p>\n<p>The gains were driven by 660 million paid subscribers across Apple's services segment, which includes Apple TV+, Apple Music, the App Store, and iCloud, among others. CFO Luca Maestri said that the company's video, music, games, and advertising businesses all had a record-setting quarter. The segment represents roughly 19% of Apple's total revenue -- even with the recent surge in iPhone sales.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1543e78227ea2e7605d7d18b54a56fc5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h2>5. Dividends: The gift that keeps on giving</h2>\n<p>Apple resumed its dividend in 2012 after a 17-year hiatus, and it has since become a dividend powerhouse. The quarterly payout resumed at a split-adjusted $0.095 and has risen 132% in just nine years.</p>\n<p>Apple announced this week that it will boost the quarterly payout to $0.22 per share, an increase of 7% for 2021. Equally as important, the company is using just 22% of its profits to fund the dividend, giving Apple plenty of room for future increases.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0031e726c632c943de6445779aa1c4dd\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"492\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h2>6. Fewer shares = a greater piece of the Apple pie</h2>\n<p>Another aspect of Apple's capital return policy is its aggressive share repurchase plan. The company has been buying back shares for years. With each quarter that goes by, Apple shareholders own a larger share of the Apple pie. Over the past decade, Apple's share count has declined by nearly 36%.</p>\n<p>The company has retired roughly 1% of its shares, on average, in each of the past four quarters and has plans to continue this shareholder-friendly practice. Just this week, Apple announced that it was adding an additional $90 billion to its existing share repurchase program.</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>6 Reasons to Buy Apple Stock and Never Sell</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\">\n6 Reasons to Buy Apple Stock and Never Sell\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-03 22:17 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/03/6-reasons-to-buy-apple-stock-and-never-sell/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) made history on Aug. 2, 2018, when it became the first U.S. public company in history to achieve a market cap of $1 trillion.

In fiscal 2020 (ended Sept. 26, 2020), the company's wearables, home, and accessories segment grew 25% compared to 2019, generating a record $30 billion and accounting for more than 11% of Apple's total revenue. Not only that, but the segment ended the year on a high note, with each product category -- wearables, home, and accessories -- generating record sales. Apple noted at the time that its \"wearables business is now the size of a Fortune 130 company.\"\nOver the past six months, growth in the segment has accelerated. Wearables, home, and accessories revenue climbed nearly 28% year over year, led by strong demand for AirPods, AirPods Pro, and Apple Watch.\n\nImage source: Apple.\n4. It's all about the services\nCook announced in early 2017 that Apple was aiming to double its services revenue by the end of 2020. In July 2020, he revealed that Apple had achieved that lofty goal a full six months ahead of schedule.\nThe business is off to a quick start in 2021. For Apple's fiscal 2021 second quarter (ended March 27, 2021), the services segment posted all-time record revenue of $16.9 billion, up nearly 27% year over year, and marking the fastest rate of growth in more than two years.\nThe gains were driven by 660 million paid subscribers across Apple's services segment, which includes Apple TV+, Apple Music, the App Store, and iCloud, among others. CFO Luca Maestri said that the company's video, music, games, and advertising businesses all had a record-setting quarter. The segment represents roughly 19% of Apple's total revenue -- even with the recent surge in iPhone sales.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\n5. Dividends: The gift that keeps on giving\nApple resumed its dividend in 2012 after a 17-year hiatus, and it has since become a dividend powerhouse. The quarterly payout resumed at a split-adjusted $0.095 and has risen 132% in just nine years.\nApple announced this week that it will boost the quarterly payout to $0.22 per share, an increase of 7% for 2021. Equally as important, the company is using just 22% of its profits to fund the dividend, giving Apple plenty of room for future increases.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\n6. Fewer shares = a greater piece of the Apple pie\nAnother aspect of Apple's capital return policy is its aggressive share repurchase plan. The company has been buying back shares for years. With each quarter that goes by, Apple shareholders own a larger share of the Apple pie. Over the past decade, Apple's share count has declined by nearly 36%.\nThe company has retired roughly 1% of its shares, on average, in each of the past four quarters and has plans to continue this shareholder-friendly practice. Just this week, Apple announced that it was adding an additional $90 billion to its existing share repurchase program.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":331,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":880892996,"gmtCreate":1631029039115,"gmtModify":1676530448382,"author":{"id":"3561696423816116","authorId":"3561696423816116","name":"kitlim","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3561696423816116","authorIdStr":"3561696423816116"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Opps","listText":"Opps","text":"Opps","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/880892996","repostId":"1174694367","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1174694367","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1631024283,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1174694367?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-07 22:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nvidia Reportedly Faces EU Opposition to Arm Deal","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1174694367","media":"Barron's","summary":"NVIDIA Corp, the largest U.S. semiconductor maker by market value, reportedly faces fresh opposition","content":"<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">NVIDIA Corp</a>, the largest U.S. semiconductor maker by market value, reportedly faces fresh opposition from the European Union over its planned $40 billion acquisition of British chipmaker Arm.</p>\n<p>EU officials said concessions made by Nvidia (ticker: NVDA) don’t go far enough to mitigate potential damage to rivals, the Financial Times reported, citing unidentified EU officials.</p>\n<p>One official told the Financial Times that it’s “not certain the deal will get easily cleared here.” But people with direct knowledge of the Brussels investigation told the FT it was too early to say whether the deal would be blocked, and that an agreement could still be reached.</p>\n<p>Nvidia is preparing to file for regulatory clearance for the deal in Brussels this week, possibly as soon as Tuesday, according to the FT.</p>\n<p>Nvidia told Barron’s in late August that it was “working through the regulatory process and we look forward to engaging with the European Commission to address any concerns they may have.”</p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/UBNK\">United</a> Kingdom last month said that Nvidia’s acquisition of Arm raised “serious competition concerns.” The U.K.’s competition watchdog recommended an in-depth investigation of the deal.</p>\n<p>Nvidia has acknowledged that its acquisition of Arm was taking longer than expected with the deal facing regulatory scrutiny in several countries.

The two will keep working together on philanthropic efforts, which have addressed education, gender equality and health care.\"After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage,\" Bill and Melinda Gates wrote in a statement that Bill Gatestweeted out.“Over the last 27 years, we have raised three incredible children and built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives. We continue to share a belief in that mission and will continue our work together at the foundation, but we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives. We ask for space and privacy for our family as we begin to navigate this new life.”The decision reflects a personal change at the top of American business.Bill Gates led Microsoft as CEO from its founding with Paul Allen in 1975 until 2000, leaving Steve Ballmer to run the company, while Bill Gates became chairman and chief software architect. In 2008 Gatesgave up his day-to-day roleat the company to spend more time on the nonprofit Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.Last year Bill Gatesstepped downfrom Microsoft’s board asthe coronavirusbecame a force around the world. He began spending more time on the foundation alongside Melinda Gates. The two are co-chairs and trustees of the foundation, which launched in 2000.Bill and Melinda Gates both worked at Microsoft. She had been a general manager at the software company, where she worked on products such as the Encarta encyclopedia, according to herLinkedIn profile. The two met at a dinner for Microsoft employees in 1987. “It took him quite a few months before he asked me out,” Melinda Gateslater said. Bill Gates hadweighed the pros and cons on a blackboard, and in 1994 the couple were married in Hawaii.Financial details of the Gateses parting ways are not yet clear. Bill Gates owns 1.37% of Microsoft’s outstanding shares, which are worth more than $26 billion, according to FactSet. The couple were creators, along with Warren Buffett, of theGiving Pledge, a program that requires participants to give away more than half of their wealth.At one point the couple decided to move $20 billion worth of Microsoft stock to the foundation as they sought to increase their commitment to philanthropy, Bill Gates wrote in a 2019blog post. Today the foundation has more than $51 billion in assets, according to a tax filing, making itone of the world’s wealthiest foundations.“In the case of Melinda, it is a truly equal partner,” Bill Gates said in the 2019 Netflix documentary “Inside Bill’s Brain.” “She’s a lot like me in that she is optimistic and she is interested in science.

Bill Gates established Breakthrough Energy, an initiative to slow climate change that includes a venture arm, and Melinda Gates created Pivotal Ventures, a company that makes investments to foster equality.For Valentine’s Day in 2020, Bill Gates posted a photoon Instagramshowing him standing with his arm around Melinda Gates. “I couldn’t ask for a better partner on this journey,” the caption said.Each year for more than a decade the Gateses have published a letter about their foundation work. In thelatest one, published in January, they reflected on the impact of the pandemic, beyond supporting the development of vaccines. “For us, the days became a blur of video meetings, troubling news alerts, and microwaved meals,” they wrote.Bill Gates is the world’s fourth richest person, behindAmazon’sJeff Bezos, LVMH’s Bernard Arnault and Tesla’s Elon Musk, according toForbes.The announcement comes two years after Bezos said he and his wife, MacKenzie, weregetting divorced.

The resurgence of the iPhone</h2>\n<p>It wasn't terribly long ago that some were declaring the death of the iPhone, but the release of its latest device product lineup has shown that simply isn't the case. Apple launched four new iPhone models in 2020 -- the most ever released in a single year. The iPhone 12, 12 Mini, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max run the gamut in terms of retail price and capabilities, and they truly offer something for everyone.</p>\n<p>During the 2020 holiday quarter, Apple reported all-time record revenue of $111 billion, up 21% year over year, with 59% of that coming from iPhone sales. That could be just the beginning. Earlier this year, CEO Tim Cook revealed that Apple has an installed base of 1.65 billion devices, including more than 1 billion active iPhones. Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives estimates that roughly 40% of iPhone users haven't upgraded their device over the past 3.5 years. This could be the beginning of the long-awaited \"supercycle,\" which could ultimately drive Apple's market cap to $3 trillion over the coming year.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a64009d3188b63b0581fb1831fef8757\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"625\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Apple.</p>\n<h2>3. Apple: It's what the fashionable are wearing</h2>\n<p>Investors shouldn't underestimate the growing importance of Apple's wearables business. In fiscal 2020 (ended Sept. 26, 2020), the company's wearables, home, and accessories segment grew 25% compared to 2019, generating a record $30 billion and accounting for more than 11% of Apple's total revenue. Not only that, but the segment ended the year on a high note, with each product category -- wearables, home, and accessories -- generating record sales. Apple noted at the time that its \"wearables business is now the size of a Fortune 130 company.\"</p>\n<p>Over the past six months, growth in the segment has accelerated. Wearables, home, and accessories revenue climbed nearly 28% year over year, led by strong demand for AirPods, AirPods Pro, and Apple Watch.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dbf3b3b69fdf1c8681bf8a77927aba27\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"510\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Apple.</p>\n<h2>4. It's all about the services</h2>\n<p>Cook announced in early 2017 that Apple was aiming to double its services revenue by the end of 2020. In July 2020, he revealed that Apple had achieved that lofty goal a full six months ahead of schedule.</p>\n<p>The business is off to a quick start in 2021. For Apple's fiscal 2021 second quarter (ended March 27, 2021), the services segment posted all-time record revenue of $16.9 billion, up nearly 27% year over year, and marking the fastest rate of growth in more than two years.</p>\n<p>The gains were driven by 660 million paid subscribers across Apple's services segment, which includes Apple TV+, Apple Music, the App Store, and iCloud, among others.

The segment represents roughly 19% of Apple's total revenue -- even with the recent surge in iPhone sales.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1543e78227ea2e7605d7d18b54a56fc5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h2>5. Dividends: The gift that keeps on giving</h2>\n<p>Apple resumed its dividend in 2012 after a 17-year hiatus, and it has since become a dividend powerhouse. The quarterly payout resumed at a split-adjusted $0.095 and has risen 132% in just nine years.</p>\n<p>Apple announced this week that it will boost the quarterly payout to $0.22 per share, an increase of 7% for 2021.

Fewer shares = a greater piece of the Apple pie</h2>\n<p>Another aspect of Apple's capital return policy is its aggressive share repurchase plan. The company has been buying back shares for years. With each quarter that goes by, Apple shareholders own a larger share of the Apple pie. Over the past decade, Apple's share count has declined by nearly 36%.</p>\n<p>The company has retired roughly 1% of its shares, on average, in each of the past four quarters and has plans to continue this shareholder-friendly practice.
