News</span></p>\n<p>Since our previous analysis on Nvidia Corp (NVDA), the company’s full-year revenues have increased by 53% in 2020 which has exceeded our&nbsp;expectations&nbsp;of 43% growth with higher GPU sales across PC and data center markets. As such, the company’s stock price also surges well past our previous price target of $578.39. In this analysis, we determine if its impressive growth can continue and justify a higher valuation for the company.</p>\n<p>The main segments of the company contributing to its high growth were the Data center &amp; Gaming segment representing 40.2% and 46.5% of its total revenues respectively. We identified Nvidia’s AI leadership as a key advantage fuelling the growth across its data center segment capitalizing on rising data creation from AI, HPC and IoT applications with its AI leadership through its innovative products catered towards the booming cloud market. Besides data centers, gaming continues to be a key driver with its continuous performance improvements backed by new releases of next-generation GPU models contributing to rising pricing power to maintain ASP growth.</p>\n<p>Finally, we followed up on the Arm acquisition which is slated by management to conclude by early 2022. Through the acquisition of Arm, it not only earns incremental licensing revenue but also the ability to further leverage its CPU capabilities to develop and expand its range of Arm-based products including upcoming CPUs launches and the latest DPU SoCs. As the company is in the progress of obtaining regulatory clearance, we analysed the effect of the acquisition on the market competitiveness of the CPU markets.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/620b8212ee6f5ba62d2f6ac3f3e7be2c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Nvidia</span></p>\n<p><b>AI Leadership ensures High Growth Across Key Data Centre Segment</b></p>\n<p>The increasing volumes of data created will fuel&nbsp;data center&nbsp;growth over the next decade. An important aspect of this will be machine-to-machine and Artificial Intelligence ('AI') technologies that enable massive volumes of data to be processed with ease and speed. AI data processing is made possible by a system of linked supercomputers that are used to process complex workloads by running millions of simulations and financial models to generate predictions from massive volumes of data by identifying a pattern and then replicating that pattern identification across other data. As can be imagined,AI computing&nbsp;would require massive computing infrastructure.</p>\n<p>Driven by the advent of AI, HPC, IoT and edge computing,data creation&nbsp;is projected to grow at a rate of&nbsp;around&nbsp;23% in the next 5 years. This would require greater cloud infrastructure to handle the increase in data. To determine the growth in cloud infrastructure revenues, we identified the factor of correlation of cloud infrastructure revenues to data volume growth over the past 10 years. The factor identified of 1.65x was applied to data volume growth projections to estimate the cloud infrastructure market growth rate to the year 2025.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/65dce37578817882262e6dc751775292\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Statista, Khaveen Investments</span></p>\n<table>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p><b>Volume of Data Worldwide</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>2016</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>2017</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>2018</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>2019</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>2020</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>2021F</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>2022F</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>2023F</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>2024F</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>2025F</b></p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Cloud Infrastructure Market Revenues ($ bln)</p></td>\n   <td><p>32</p></td>\n   <td><p>46.5</p></td>\n   <td><p>69</p></td>\n   <td><p>96</p></td>\n   <td><p>129.5</p></td>\n   <td><p>178.9</p></td>\n   <td><p>246.3</p></td>\n   <td><p>342.9</p></td>\n   <td><p>470.6</p></td>\n   <td><p>650.6</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Cloud Infrastructure Market Revenue Growth %<b><i>('a')</i></b></p></td>\n   <td><p>52%</p></td>\n   <td><p>45%</p></td>\n   <td><p>48%</p></td>\n   <td><p>39%</p></td>\n   <td><p>35%</p></td>\n   <td><p>38%</p></td>\n   <td><p>38%</p></td>\n   <td><p>39%</p></td>\n   <td><p>37%</p></td>\n   <td><p>38%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Data Volume (ZB)</p></td>\n   <td><p>18</p></td>\n   <td><p>26</p></td>\n   <td><p>33</p></td>\n   <td><p>41</p></td>\n   <td><p>64.2</p></td>\n   <td><p>79</p></td>\n   <td><p>97</p></td>\n   <td><p>120</p></td>\n   <td><p>147</p></td>\n   <td><p>181</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Data Volume Growth %<b><i>('b')</i></b></p></td>\n   <td><p>16%</p></td>\n   <td><p>44%</p></td>\n   <td><p>27%</p></td>\n   <td><p>24%</p></td>\n   <td><p>57%</p></td>\n   <td><p>23%</p></td>\n   <td><p>23%</p></td>\n   <td><p>24%</p></td>\n   <td><p>23%</p></td>\n   <td><p>23%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Cloud Infrastructure Revenue Growth/Data Volume Growth Factor<i><b>('c')</b></i></p></td>\n   <td><p>3.25</p></td>\n   <td><p>1.02</p></td>\n   <td><p>1.80</p></td>\n   <td><p>1.61</p></td>\n   <td><p>0.62</p></td>\n   <td><p>1.65</p></td>\n   <td><p>1.65</p></td>\n   <td><p>1.65</p></td>\n   <td><p>1.65</p></td>\n   <td><p>1.65</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p><i>*A =C x B</i></p>\n<p><i>Source:Statista, Khaveen Investments</i></p>\n<p>As mentioned, Artificial Intelligence ('AI') will play a crucial role in synthesizing and storing these waves of data. The race of AI computing technology is being led by semiconductor companies that create the chips that enable technology across all segments of the market. As such, innovations in AI have been especially expeditious in the semiconductor industry with several companies such as Nvidia, Intel and AMD developing significant AI capabilities in their chip systems.</p>\n<p>We view Nvidia in particular, as not just an AI leader of the semiconductor industry, but as the AI leader of the world. Nvidia&nbsp;aims&nbsp;to develop AI solutions for every industry and is already well on the way there. It is the leader in autonomous vehicles, with its&nbsp;AI-enabled&nbsp;Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) being developed for global automakers, having already secured $8 bln in automotive&nbsp;design wins. Notwithstanding, Nvidia’s automotive segment only&nbsp;represents&nbsp;3.2% of its revenues. Nvidia’s key data center segment that represents 40.2% of its revenues, is where the company’s AI leadership is really seen. The company recently&nbsp;announced&nbsp;that its AI-powered&nbsp;DGX server&nbsp;has been adopted by the top 10 Aerospace companies, 6 of the top 10 US banks, and 8 out of the 10 top global telcos.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f6012b1f26e3dc39c6d52fa790b5723c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"640\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Statista</span></p>\n<p>As data volume and workload grow, it gets more difficult to transmit the data. To tackle this, enterprises are expected to bring applications and storage closer to themselves rather than transporting resources to a central location. As a result, large enterprises are more likely to build on-site data storage centers which require the use of an on-site fully built server system. This is where Nvidia’s latest DGX server comes into play. To put things in perspective, these aren’t the $500 GPU chipsets used in PCs. The GPU-enabled DGX servers are provided on a subscription model, with a single one&nbsp;costing&nbsp;a massive $4.3 million a year. As to the capability of DGX, its initial design was reported to have one of the world’s&nbsp;fastest&nbsp;AI workload speeds by the National Energy Research Scientific Computer Center (NERSC). Given both the first mover and technological advantage that Nvidia has, we see the company in a prime position to capture the on-premises server market in addition to the cloud server market. As such we expect the company’s data segment revenue as a percentage of total cloud capex to continue increasing at 3%.

Then, the average performance increase is compared to the increase in Nvidia’s ASPs for each year to derive the ASP growth to performance growth factor average of 1.1x. This implies that Nvidia’s GPU performance increase can sustain its ASP growth at a factor of 1.1x.

Thus, it is not only saving up for larger acquisitions in the future, but it indicates its solid profitability and earning power which would make it highly valuable even when growth slows down.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de12e328a7e3922a8cb21f9f53b77128\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Nvidia, Khaveen Investments</span></p>\n<p>Moreover, the company has a strong balance sheet with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.7x in 2020 with a high EBITDA interest coverage of 114x in the past 5 years indicating its solid ability to repay its debts.

Highlighting the advancement of its AI strategy around the data center markets, we believe it can capitalize on the booming cloud growth and increasing capex share to benefit its data center revenues. Additionally, despite the flattish shipment growth, we believe it can continue to grow its gaming revenues highlighting its consistent performance improvement with its next-gen Ampere Next based models. As it advances its AI strategy, it is looking to leverage Arm’s incredible CPU IP across its latest product R&amp;D for the data center for future launches. Compared to our previous analysis, we applied a quantitative P/S multiple to reflect its superb growth outlook as one of the highest in the industry. Based on our valuation model using a P/S multiple, its projected revenue growth rate of 59.6% in 2021 driven by strong growth momentum across gaming and data center segments provides an upside opportunity of 28.8% as its stock price has already increased by 71% year to date.

As such, the company’s stock price also surges well past our previous price target of $578.39. In this analysis, we determine if its impressive growth can continue and justify a higher valuation for the company.\nThe main segments of the company contributing to its high growth were the Data center & Gaming segment representing 40.2% and 46.5% of its total revenues respectively. We identified Nvidia’s AI leadership as a key advantage fuelling the growth across its data center segment capitalizing on rising data creation from AI, HPC and IoT applications with its AI leadership through its innovative products catered towards the booming cloud market. Besides data centers, gaming continues to be a key driver with its continuous performance improvements backed by new releases of next-generation GPU models contributing to rising pricing power to maintain ASP growth.\nFinally, we followed up on the Arm acquisition which is slated by management to conclude by early 2022. Through the acquisition of Arm, it not only earns incremental licensing revenue but also the ability to further leverage its CPU capabilities to develop and expand its range of Arm-based products including upcoming CPUs launches and the latest DPU SoCs. As the company is in the progress of obtaining regulatory clearance, we analysed the effect of the acquisition on the market competitiveness of the CPU markets.\nSource: Nvidia\nAI Leadership ensures High Growth Across Key Data Centre Segment\nThe increasing volumes of data created will fuel data center growth over the next decade. An important aspect of this will be machine-to-machine and Artificial Intelligence ('AI') technologies that enable massive volumes of data to be processed with ease and speed. AI data processing is made possible by a system of linked supercomputers that are used to process complex workloads by running millions of simulations and financial models to generate predictions from massive volumes of data by identifying a pattern and then replicating that pattern identification across other data. As can be imagined,AI computing would require massive computing infrastructure.\nDriven by the advent of AI, HPC, IoT and edge computing,data creation is projected to grow at a rate of around 23% in the next 5 years. This would require greater cloud infrastructure to handle the increase in data. To determine the growth in cloud infrastructure revenues, we identified the factor of correlation of cloud infrastructure revenues to data volume growth over the past 10 years. The factor identified of 1.65x was applied to data volume growth projections to estimate the cloud infrastructure market growth rate to the year 2025.\nSource: Statista, Khaveen Investments\n\n\n\nVolume of Data Worldwide\n2016\n2017\n2018\n2019\n2020\n2021F\n2022F\n2023F\n2024F\n2025F\n\n\nCloud Infrastructure Market Revenues ($ bln)\n32\n46.5\n69\n96\n129.5\n178.9\n246.3\n342.9\n470.6\n650.6\n\n\nCloud Infrastructure Market Revenue Growth %('a')\n52%\n45%\n48%\n39%\n35%\n38%\n38%\n39%\n37%\n38%\n\n\nData Volume (ZB)\n18\n26\n33\n41\n64.2\n79\n97\n120\n147\n181\n\n\nData Volume Growth %('b')\n16%\n44%\n27%\n24%\n57%\n23%\n23%\n24%\n23%\n23%\n\n\nCloud Infrastructure Revenue Growth/Data Volume Growth Factor('c')\n3.25\n1.02\n1.80\n1.61\n0.62\n1.65\n1.65\n1.65\n1.65\n1.65\n\n\n\n*A =C x B\nSource:Statista, Khaveen Investments\nAs mentioned, Artificial Intelligence ('AI') will play a crucial role in synthesizing and storing these waves of data. The race of AI computing technology is being led by semiconductor companies that create the chips that enable technology across all segments of the market. As such, innovations in AI have been especially expeditious in the semiconductor industry with several companies such as Nvidia, Intel and AMD developing significant AI capabilities in their chip systems.\nWe view Nvidia in particular, as not just an AI leader of the semiconductor industry, but as the AI leader of the world. Nvidia aims to develop AI solutions for every industry and is already well on the way there. It is the leader in autonomous vehicles, with its AI-enabled Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) being developed for global automakers, having already secured $8 bln in automotive design wins. Notwithstanding, Nvidia’s automotive segment only represents 3.2% of its revenues. Nvidia’s key data center segment that represents 40.2% of its revenues, is where the company’s AI leadership is really seen. The company recently announced that its AI-powered DGX server has been adopted by the top 10 Aerospace companies, 6 of the top 10 US banks, and 8 out of the 10 top global telcos.\nSource: Statista\nAs data volume and workload grow, it gets more difficult to transmit the data. To tackle this, enterprises are expected to bring applications and storage closer to themselves rather than transporting resources to a central location. As a result, large enterprises are more likely to build on-site data storage centers which require the use of an on-site fully built server system. This is where Nvidia’s latest DGX server comes into play. To put things in perspective, these aren’t the $500 GPU chipsets used in PCs. The GPU-enabled DGX servers are provided on a subscription model, with a single one costing a massive $4.3 million a year. As to the capability of DGX, its initial design was reported to have one of the world’s fastest AI workload speeds by the National Energy Research Scientific Computer Center (NERSC). Given both the first mover and technological advantage that Nvidia has, we see the company in a prime position to capture the on-premises server market in addition to the cloud server market. As such we expect the company’s data segment revenue as a percentage of total cloud capex to continue increasing at 3%. This was derived through our calculations by first estimating the total capex by the top 4 cloud providers (Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), Google (GOOG), Alibaba (BABA)) and adjusted by its market share as the total cloud capex.\n\n\n\nCloud Providers Capex ($ mln)\n2011\n2012\n2013\n2014\n2015\n2016\n2017\n2018\n2019\n2020\n\n\nAmazon\n3,785\n3,444\n4,893\n5,387\n7,804\n11,955\n13,427\n16,861\n40,140\n45,427\n\n\nMicrosoft\n2,355\n2,305\n4,257\n5,485\n5,944\n8,343\n8,129\n11,632\n13,925\n15,441\n\n\nGoogle\n3,438\n3,273\n7,358\n11,014\n9,950\n10,212\n13,184\n25,139\n23,548\n22,281\n\n\nAlibaba\n403\n768\n1,243\n1,680\n1,598\n3,129\n5,287\n4,596\n\n\nTotal (Top 4)\n9,578\n9,022\n16,911\n22,654\n24,941\n32,190\n36,338\n56,761\n82,900\n87,745\n\n\n\nSource: Nvidia, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Alibaba, Khaveen Investments\nWe then estimated the total cloud capex growth rate by basing it on the forecasted growth in the cloud infrastructure revenues on a 10-year average factor of 0.68x. With the growth in cloud capex, we computed Nvidia’s share of capex spending which has been growing at 3% on average in the past 7 years. Nvidia’s AI-powered GPU accelerators are deployed in more than 97% of all AI-accelerator hardware used by the top 4 cloud providers (Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Alibaba). These top 4 cloud providers alone control 67%. Applying our estimated share of capex, we forecasted its total data center revenues growing at around 30%.\nSource: Nvidia, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Alibaba, Statista, Khaveen Investments\nContinuous Performance Excellence Leads to Continuous Pricing Premium\nNvidia’s Gaming segment revenue growth has averaged a stellar 27% in the past 7 years. The main contributor is rising ASPs which averaged 27% whereas shipments growth was flat. Although Nvidia accounts for 81% of the discrete GPU market share and steadily rising, its market share in the overall GPU market has declined slightly against AMD (AMD) and Intel (INTC) who also manufactures integrated GPUs but is planning to develop its Alchemist product while Nvidia only produces discrete chips.\nSource: Statista, JPR, Khaveen Investments\nBased on its stagnant share of the overall GPU market, this implies that demand for the integrated GPU market continues to remain strong. PC shipments grew at -0.8% within the same period. Whereas GPU unit shipments were lower than the PC shipment growth with an average of -2%. One of the attributable factors is the rising GPU costs relative to stagnant PC prices. In the past 5 years, Nvidia’s average ASP as a percentage of PC ASP has risen from 19% to 38%, making it harder for PC makers to cater to the mid-range and entry-level markets which presence remains stable. As costs continue to increase and Intel seeks to capitalize on its refreshed Intel Iris Xe integrated chips, we see Nvidia’s share of overall GPUs to decline and PC shipments CAGR of 3% through 2025.\n\n\n\nGaming PC Share of Market Revenues\n2016\n2020\n\n\nHigh End\n43%\n47%\n\n\nMid-Range\n35%\n34%\n\n\nEntry Level\n22%\n19%\n\n\n\nSource:JPR\nHowever, every year, Nvidia releases a new product lineup offering better performance against the previous models. From GPU Check, we obtained the average benchmark score of all GPU models released for each year to obtain an average score and the average performance increase at 22% per year. Then, the average performance increase is compared to the increase in Nvidia’s ASPs for each year to derive the ASP growth to performance growth factor average of 1.1x. This implies that Nvidia’s GPU performance increase can sustain its ASP growth at a factor of 1.1x. We believe this to be fair, given the company’s solid track record of continuous product development. Its next generation of GPUs with the Ampere Next architecture is expected to be launched next year with the anticipated RTX 4000 series a successor to its current lineup. One of the major significant upgrades anticipated is the switch towards TSMC’s(NYSE:TSM)N5 process allowing even more GPU cores and transistors than the current Ampere GPUs manufactured on TSMC’s N7 and Samsung(OTC:SSNLF)8N process. Even longer-term, the company’s roadmaps indicate continued innovation with the following generation of ‘Ampere Next Next’ expected in 2024 which could utilize TSMC’s N3 process.\nSource: Statista, GPU Checker, Khaveen Investments\nSource: Nvidia, Statista, JPR, GPU Checker\nAll in all, the main driver of gaming revenues is rising prices from continuous product development rather than unit shipments. Nonetheless, the robust demand on GPU shipments seen based on data from JPR indicates a major tailwind in 2021 and forecasted a growth rate of 36% based on the average GPU shipments growth rates of Q1 and Q2. Though we expect growth to normalize, and we based our shipment growth assumption beyond 2021 on a 3.5% CAGR through 2025. Also, accounting for Nvidia’s market share in GPUs, we derived its total unit shipment as well as ASP growth to forecast its total gaming revenue growth.\nSource: Nvidia, Statista, JPR\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnnualized Nvidia\n2016\n2017\n2018\n2019\n2020\n2021F\n2022F\n2023F\n2024F\n2025F\n\n\nShipments('a')\n34.76\n37.67\n33.58\n27.68\n31.95\n43.45\n44.97\n46.55\n48.18\n49.86\n\n\nShipments Growth %\n-1%\n8%\n-11%\n-18%\n15%\n36.0%\n3.5%\n3.5%\n3.5%\n3.5%\n\n\nASPs('b')\n116.8\n146.4\n186.1\n199.4\n242.8\n300.4\n371.5\n459.5\n568.3\n702.8\n\n\nASP Growth %\n45%\n25%\n27%\n7%\n22%\n24%\n24%\n24%\n24%\n24%\n\n\nGaming Revenues ($ mln)('c')\n4,060\n5,513\n6,250\n5,518\n7,759\n13,051\n16,707\n21,386\n27,377\n35,045\n\n\nGaming Revenues Growth %\n44.1%\n35.8%\n13.4%\n-11.7%\n40.6%\n68.2%\n28.0%\n28.0%\n28.0%\n28.0%\n\n\n\n*C = A x B\nSource: Nvidia,Statista,JPR,WCCF Tech\nGrowth From Arm Regardless of Acquisition Approval\nAlready a leading developer of GPUs, Nvidia is using its advantage in AI to produce a range of new products. It is acquiring Arm to leverage its CPU capabilities across key industries as seen with theexpansionof its Certified Systems with BlueField DPU SoCsfeaturing22 bln transistors and incorporating 16 Arm-based CPUs along with a 400 gigabits-per-second networking chip. The combination of both company’scapabilitieswith CPU from Arm and Mellanox networking solution for an advanced chip enhanced by is AI Enterprise software suite in partnership with VMware (VMW) vSphere creating a new market for Nvidia. The company has already received strong support fromcustomersincluding Dell Technologies (DELL), Inspur (OTC:INPRF), Lenovo (OTCPK:LNVGY) and Supermicro integrating its DPUs into their systems. Besides that, cloud service providers such as Baidu are using its DPUs to accelerate workloads. Additionally, it is also planning to enter the data centerCPUmarket with Nvidia Grace against incumbents Intel and AMD.\nThat said, the deal is pending regulatory approval and management isexpectingto obtain clearance by early 2022. The HHI index is a measure of market competitiveness commonlyusedby governmental bodies such as the FTC and the Department of Justice in M&A deals. It serves as guidance whether a deal would go through, or antitrust action would be taken depending on the concentration level.\n\n\n\nPost-Merger HHI\nChange from Premerger HHI\nAntitrust Action\n\n\nHHI < 1000Not concentrated,\nAny\nNo action likely\n\n\n1000 < HHI < 1800Moderately Concentrated,\n>100\nModerately Concentrated, Possible Action\n\n\n1800 < HHIHighly Concentrated,\n>50\nChallenge very Likely\n\n\n\nSource:OpenTextBC\nFor the Arm deal, the HHI calculation would be applied on the PC CPU and server market shares only as only Nvidia, AMD and Intel compete within the GPU markets. In Nvidia’s case, the HHI value for both markets would not change as it represents Arm’s share. For example, the PC CPU market HHI is valued at 4,312 in both pre-and post-acquisition.\nSource: Statista, PCMag\n\n\n\n\n\nSimilarly, the CPU market for servers would derive the same HHI score as the PC CPU market as Nvidia would replace Arm’s share. There is no change to the HHI score of 6,334.\nSource: Nextplatform, Itcandor\n\n\n\n\n\nIf we consider Nvidia’s planned entry to the server CPU market with the launch of Nvidia Grace. Even a small increase in share for Nvidia would lead to a reduction in the HHI value by 188. This highlights Intel’s incredibly high market share. Even if the deal does not go through, the market would still become more competitive. Thus, based on the change in HHI values, Nvidia has a rather unique case for the deal going through. It does not compete with Arm directly PC and server CPU markets, it would just take up Arm’s market share and would not lead to any change to the HHI. In fact, it could make the market even more competitive.\n\n Regulators are \"looking to ensure that their markets are pro-competitive, that this is pro-innovation… and this is good for customers.

Should the deal go through, it would make it the most valuable semicon deal in history at $40 bln. Though, larger deals in the past have broken down due to antitrust. Out of 32 of the largestdealssince 2015, only 3 major deals above $1 bln have fallen apart representing a 9.3% rejection rateincludingKLA (KLAC) and Lam Research (LRCX) merger, Qualcomm (QCOM) acquisition of NXP(NASDAQ:NXPI)and Broadcom’s (AVGO) acquisition of Qualcomm. On the other hand, smaller deals valued at below $1 bln had fewer issues with antitrust. Of the 98 deals, only 4 deals were stopped by regulators which is a 4% rejection rate. This implies that larger deals attract greater scrutiny, which is negative for Nvidia considering it is the highest valued semicon deal.\nSource:Design&Reuse\nAcquisition Approval Risk\nInitially, the expectation of the Arm acquisition deal to go through is by Q1 2022 but subject to regulatory approval from various governmental bodies. There are several arguments that the deal might be delayed or would ultimately fail to get approval. Based on our previousanalysis, we highlighted several headwinds that could arise from regulators across various jurisdictions which include:\n\nTensions between the US and China and to protect Arm China against possible intervention by foreign governments in the future\nThe intention for the UK to protect its local industry and prioritize local jobs, technological expertise and intellectual property\nEuropean authorities seeking to protect companies’ access to advanced technology and preserve sovereignty and independence\n\nWhile management stated its confidence that the Arm deal would go through as planned, these headwinds may pose a risk for the company to meet its deadline. In the Q2 2022 earnings briefing, Nvidia acknowledged the headwinds in obtaining regulatoryapprovalwhich is taking longer than initially thought.\n\n We are working through the regulatory process, although some Arm licensees have expressed concerns and objected to the transaction, and discussions with regulators are taking longer than initially thought\n - Nvidia CFOColette Kress\n\nA breakdown of the agreement could lead to the company incurring fees related to the failure of the acquisition. A couple of months ago, the deal faced several risks of beingdelayedas seen with the European regulator’s reluctance to consider the case until after the summer holidays to gather more information. Nvidia is reported to notify the European Commission in early September as the EU is set tolauncha formal probe into the deal. Also, the US FTC has been seeking to gather more information while Big Techs including Google, Microsoft, and Qualcomm complained about limiting competition. Whereas in China, the company applied with Chinese authorities but appears to be facing tensions with the axed CEO of Arm China which ischallengingthe company for unfair dismissal.\nIt is believed that the agreement allows both companies to extend the deal to Q3 2022 but either party could walk away beyond that. That said, even the deal fails to go through, we believe that the company may be able to realize synergies anyway given its strong product development in the pipeline.\nValuation\nThe company has had an average revenue growth rate of 29.01% in the past 5 years with average gross and net margins of 61.05% and 28.4% respectively. The strength of its earnings and margins is its increasing margin as a result of lower COGS as a percentage of revenues which declined by 3.9% on average in the past 10 years. In comparison to other chipmakers, Nvidia’s gross margins are higher than the industry average of 47.2% and net margins of 13.2% which highlights its superior pricing power which saw ASPs rising by 25% on average in the past 6 years due to its dominance over the discrete GPU market.\nSource: Nvidia, Khaveen Investments\nIn terms of cash flows, the company’s 5-year average FCF margin is 15.14% and has steadily increased as it grows its operating cash flows. Its margins appear to be volatile due to its investments in marketable securities with an inflow of $6.6 bln in 2019 and an outflow of $10 bln in 2020. However, excluding this, it has very high levels of cash generation with an adjusted average FCF margin of 29.1%. Thus, it is not only saving up for larger acquisitions in the future, but it indicates its solid profitability and earning power which would make it highly valuable even when growth slows down.\nSource: Nvidia, Khaveen Investments\nMoreover, the company has a strong balance sheet with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.7x in 2020 with a high EBITDA interest coverage of 114x in the past 5 years indicating its solid ability to repay its debts. In comparison with other chipmaker competitors, its debt-to-equity is significantly lower than the average of 1.35x which highlights its advantage as a fabless chipmaker with a lean balance sheet.\nWe valued the company based on a P/S valuation due to its superb revenue growth as a rapidly growing company. To determine the appropriate P/S multiple to use, we calculated the average P/S ratio of the chipmakers according to their 5-year CAGR.\n\n\n\nAverage Chipmaker Revenue CAGR (5Yrs)\nPS Ratio\n\n\n35%+\n25.07\n\n\n30%-35%\n22.03\n\n\n25%-30%\n20.00\n\n\n20%-25%\n15.95\n\n\n15% -20%\n11.73\n\n\n10%-15%\n7.52\n\n\n0%-10%\n6.76\n\n\n\nSource: SeekingAlpha, Khaveen Investments\nFirstly, we forecasted its revenues through 2025 without including Arm based on Nvidia growth in gaming and data center as discussed above.

Highlighting the advancement of its AI strategy around the data center markets, we believe it can capitalize on the booming cloud growth and increasing capex share to benefit its data center revenues. Additionally, despite the flattish shipment growth, we believe it can continue to grow its gaming revenues highlighting its consistent performance improvement with its next-gen Ampere Next based models. As it advances its AI strategy, it is looking to leverage Arm’s incredible CPU IP across its latest product R&D for the data center for future launches. Compared to our previous analysis, we applied a quantitative P/S multiple to reflect its superb growth outlook as one of the highest in the industry. Based on our valuation model using a P/S multiple, its projected revenue growth rate of 59.6% in 2021 driven by strong growth momentum across gaming and data center segments provides an upside opportunity of 28.8% as its stock price has already increased by 71% year to date. Overall, we rate the company as aBuywith a target price of$288.45.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":391,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":815883972,"gmtCreate":1630665691996,"gmtModify":1676530370302,"author":{"id":"3561728795184169","authorId":"3561728795184169","name":"Peskythumbs","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/93a66141406a539311db18c13b9bd688","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Applaud]&nbsp;","listText":"[Applaud]&nbsp;","text":"[Applaud]","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a6b447d1b9df7121d3c7e337a62acddb","width":"1125","height":"3748"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/815883972","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":397,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":812667828,"gmtCreate":1630584545364,"gmtModify":1676530347162,"author":{"id":"3561728795184169","authorId":"3561728795184169","name":"Peskythumbs","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/93a66141406a539311db18c13b9bd688","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Strong]&nbsp;","listText":"[Strong]&nbsp;","text":"[Strong]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/812667828","repostId":"2164844227","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2164844227","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow

Fool","summary":"These stocks continue to offer solid long-term prospects.","content":"<p>While it may seem like time flies by, a decade is a long period. Think about all the changes that have occurred in your own life and the larger world -- some for good and others not. Since 2011, the economy emerged from the Great Recession and began expanding. Then, COVID-19 struck, dealing devastating effects to people's health and the economy.</p>\n<p>While few could have predicted a global pandemic, retailers that fail to adapt to a changing climate or consumer preferences run into trouble. There have been well-known and once popular retailers such as Sears Holdings, J.C.

Fortunately, you can find retailers that continue to confront whatever comes their way through simple businesses and strong execution.</p>\n<p>With these two stocks, you can remain confident that they will likely not only survive but thrive in the next 10 years, no matter what comes their way.</p>\n<h2>1. Costco</h2>\n<p><b>Costco </b>(NASDAQ:COST) is known for selling oversized quantities in its large warehouses. But the experience is much more. The company offers high-quality merchandise and services to members at attractive prices. The approach continues to retain and attract members, who don't seem to mind paying an annual fee for the right to access Costco warehouses.</p>\n<p>Its renewal rate continues to hover around 90% while also continually adding new members. Costco ended last year with 58.1 million paying members, up from 47.6 million in fiscal 2016. The company's year ends around the end of August. By the end of the third quarter, the number grew to 60.6 million.</p>\n<p>But Costco isn't merely adding members without regard for the bottom line. Its fiscal 2020 diluted earnings per share were $9.02, 69% higher than fiscal 2016's figure. This year was more of the same, with earnings coming in at $7.51 a diluted share for the first nine months compared to last year's $5.89.</p>\n<p>While there's no guarantee the company will keep paying them, Costco has gotten into the habit of declaring large special dividends every two to three years. The last <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> was in December when it paid $10.</p>\n<p>Its dividend yield is 0.7%, which is lower than the <b>S&amp;P 500</b>'s 1.3%, but this doesn't count the special payments. Additionally, Costco has raised its payouts annually since its first dividend in 2004. This includes boosting May's payment by 13% to $0.79.</p>\n<h2>2. Walmart</h2>\n<p><b>Walmart </b>(NYSE:WMT) has a well-earned reputation for charging low prices. In fact, competitors find it difficult to undercut what the company charges for items. That's because the mantra of keeping costs down to pass these savings along to customers is ingrained in its culture. After all, it opened its first discount store almost 60 years ago.</p>\n<p>Add in that Walmart is constantly innovating, opened its first e-commerce site more than 20 years ago, and continues to push innovation that focuses on customer convenience and faster delivery. Last year, in a move to counter Amazon, it launched Walmart+. This is its subscription program, which includes shipping, gasoline discounts, and a faster checkout process at the stores.</p>\n<p>Management expects to spend $14 billion on capital expenditures this year, a 40% increase, focusing on items like the supply chains, automation, and customer-facing initiatives. This should allow Walmart to not only remain relevant in the coming years, but to compete with online rivals.</p>\n<p>It is also keeping an eye on profits while looking toward the future. Last year's adjusted operating income rose by over 9% to $23.4 billion. This year, management expects a high-single-digit percentage increase, revising its estimate from its prior flattish expectation.</p>\n<p>In terms of dividends, the board of directors has increased them annually since its first payment in 1974, making Walmart a Dividend Aristocrat. The company modestly increased dividends this year by a penny to $0.55 a quarter. The dividend yield is 1.5%. It is good to know that Walmart is investing in the future while continuing to raise dividends.</p>\n<p>Retail is a competitive business, but Costco and Walmart have positioned themselves well to continue succeeding by focusing on their customers' wants and needs. It is a simple concept that will continue to reward shareholders over the next 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>2 Retail Stocks You Can Buy and Hold for the Next Decade</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\">\n2 Retail Stocks You Can Buy and Hold for the Next Decade\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-10 19:50 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/10/2-retail-stocks-you-can-buy-and-hold-for-the-next/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>While it may seem like time flies by, a decade is a long period.

It is a simple concept that will continue to reward shareholders over the next decade.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":78,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":140824960,"gmtCreate":1625647936050,"gmtModify":1703745591692,"author":{"id":"3561728795184169","authorId":"3561728795184169","name":"Peskythumbs","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/93a66141406a539311db18c13b9bd688","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Onlooker]&nbsp;","listText":"[Onlooker]&nbsp;","text":"[Onlooker]","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b46c6ec8eba6b24738ebb0ed1fb07fd","width":"1242","height":"1767"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/140824960","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":148,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":157123435,"gmtCreate":1625573887427,"gmtModify":1703744028764,"author":{"id":"3561728795184169","authorId":"3561728795184169","name":"Peskythumbs","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/93a66141406a539311db18c13b9bd688","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Oh no [LOL]&nbsp;","listText":"Oh no [LOL]&nbsp;","text":"Oh no [LOL]","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5236d6b00d2a974b9dcf6c344ac65a29","width":"1242","height":"1767"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/157123435","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":42,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":194939507,"gmtCreate":1621332373409,"gmtModify":1704355916297,"author":{"id":"3561728795184169","authorId":"3561728795184169","name":"Peskythumbs","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/93a66141406a539311db18c13b9bd688","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","listText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","text":"[Smile]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/194939507","repostId":"1168427878","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1168427878","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1621332168,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1168427878?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-18 18:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Home Depot crushes estimates, its sales jump 32.7% as customers rang up bigger purchases","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1168427878","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nShares of Home Depot have risen more than 20% this year, giving it a market value of $34","content":"<p><b>KEY POINTS</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Shares of Home Depot have risen more than 20% this year, giving it a market value of $343 billion.</li>\n <li>The retailer has gotten a boost to sales over the last year during the coronavirus pandemic.</li>\n <li>The big question for Home Depot is whether it will be able to hold onto those gains even after the crisis subsides.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Home Depot&nbsp;on Tuesday crushed Wall Street's earnings estimates as consumers spent more money at the retailer this quarter.</p>\n<p>Here's what the company reported compared with what Wall Street was expecting, based on a survey of analysts by Refinitiv:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Earnings per share: $3.86, vs. $3.08 expected</li>\n <li>Revenue: $37.5 billion, vs. $34.96 billion expected</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The retailer reported fiscal first-quarter net income of $4.15 billion, or $3.86 per share, up from $2.25 billion, or $2.08 per share, a year earlier.

They also spend less than all of their available free cash flow on dividends—meaning there is a cushion for tough times.</p>\n<p>A couple of exceptions were made.Republic Services&nbsp;has above-average debt, but that is typical for companies in the stable waste-hauling business. Republic’s sales fell about 1% between 2009 and 2010 while free cash flow grew.</p>\n<p>Air Products paid out more than its free cash flow in 2020 on dividends, but it has low debt and its free cash flow and cash from operations has easily covered its dividend over the past decade. What’s more, Air Products is still investing for growth. Industrial gas demand, essentially, tracks growth in the global economy.</p>\n<p>The list of 13 is quite a mix of businesses. There are companies that have established networks and high local market shares such as Air Products and Republic.Union Pacific and UPS have established networks and strong market share even though those businesses can’t really be called local. There are large, diversified conglomerates, including Illinois Tool, 3M and Honeywell. Defense conglomerates fall in their own category—they are stable with the dominant customer being the U.S. government. Cummins and Caterpillar are cyclical equipment makers, but have managed to stay stable by maintaining solid balance sheets and strong market positions.</p>\n<p>The average market capitalization is about $80 billion. The smallest firm, by market cap, is&nbsp;Fastenalat less than $30 billion. The largest is Honeywell with a market cap north of $140 billion.</p>\n<p>The average dividend yield of the 13 is about 2.3%, better than the average 1.5% yield of the&nbsp;S&amp;P 500&nbsp;and the 2% yield of the&nbsp;Dow Jones Industrial Average.One of the higher yields is 3M at about 3%. One of the lower yields is Rockwell at about 1.7%.</p>\n<p><b>Safety at a Reasonable Price</b></p>\n<p>These 13 industrial stocks have low debt and ample cash generation.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4b1f844b59029525ff9ddc18b646c09b\" tg-width=\"854\" tg-height=\"497\"></p>\n<p>The 13 companies, on average, paid out about 60% of their 2020 cash flow on dividends. That means there was some cash flow cushion to cover dividends during a pandemic-plagued year.</p>\n<p>What’s more, the average debt-to-Ebitda ratio, a common measure of financial leverage, is about 1.2 times or roughly half the level of the average company in the S&amp;P. There isn’t too much debt to interfere with dividends.</p>\n<p>Ebitda is short for earnings before, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. It’s a common measure of earnings available to do things such as pay interest on debt, invest in new businesses as well as pay shareholders.</p>\n<p>The 13 seem stable, but are they good investments? The baker’s dozen have roughly, on average, matched or beaten the market for the past 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. All have produced positive returns for the past 5- and 10-year periods.</p>\n<p>That’s not bad. And the average price to earnings ratio is about 20 times estimated 2021 earnings. That compares with the 22 times multiple of the S&amp;P 500.</p>\n<p>That makes these companies safe at a reasonable price.</p>\n<p>There is no telling what is coming down the pike at investors in 2021.Inflation,interest rates, trade relations between major economies and other unforeseen things will surely start to nettle investors in the future even if Covid-19 fades.</p>\n<p>With these industrial stocks, however, investors can worry less about the security of their quarterly payouts.</p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","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>13 Stocks With Rock-Solid Dividends</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\">\n13 Stocks With Rock-Solid Dividends\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-02-10 15:06 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.barrons.com/articles/13-industrial-stocks-with-rock-solid-dividends-51612887419?mod=hp_LEADSUPP_1><strong>Barrons</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Many investors have experienced both the 2008-09 financial crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic.

They also spend less than all of their available free cash flow on dividends.\n\nAll of the companies have a dividend yield greater than the average S&P 500 stock, as well as lower-than-average debt. They also spend less than all of their available free cash flow on dividends—meaning there is a cushion for tough times.\nA couple of exceptions were made.Republic Services has above-average debt, but that is typical for companies in the stable waste-hauling business. Republic’s sales fell about 1% between 2009 and 2010 while free cash flow grew.\nAir Products paid out more than its free cash flow in 2020 on dividends, but it has low debt and its free cash flow and cash from operations has easily covered its dividend over the past decade. What’s more, Air Products is still investing for growth. Industrial gas demand, essentially, tracks growth in the global economy.\nThe list of 13 is quite a mix of businesses. There are companies that have established networks and high local market shares such as Air Products and Republic.Union Pacific and UPS have established networks and strong market share even though those businesses can’t really be called local. There are large, diversified conglomerates, including Illinois Tool, 3M and Honeywell. Defense conglomerates fall in their own category—they are stable with the dominant customer being the U.S. government. Cummins and Caterpillar are cyclical equipment makers, but have managed to stay stable by maintaining solid balance sheets and strong market positions.\nThe average market capitalization is about $80 billion. The smallest firm, by market cap, is Fastenalat less than $30 billion. The largest is Honeywell with a market cap north of $140 billion.\nThe average dividend yield of the 13 is about 2.3%, better than the average 1.5% yield of the S&P 500 and the 2% yield of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.One of the higher yields is 3M at about 3%. One of the lower yields is Rockwell at about 1.7%.\nSafety at a Reasonable Price\nThese 13 industrial stocks have low debt and ample cash generation.\n\nThe 13 companies, on average, paid out about 60% of their 2020 cash flow on dividends. That means there was some cash flow cushion to cover dividends during a pandemic-plagued year.\nWhat’s more, the average debt-to-Ebitda ratio, a common measure of financial leverage, is about 1.2 times or roughly half the level of the average company in the S&P. There isn’t too much debt to interfere with dividends.\nEbitda is short for earnings before, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. It’s a common measure of earnings available to do things such as pay interest on debt, invest in new businesses as well as pay shareholders.\nThe 13 seem stable, but are they good investments? The baker’s dozen have roughly, on average, matched or beaten the market for the past 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods. All have produced positive returns for the past 5- and 10-year periods.\nThat’s not bad. And the average price to earnings ratio is about 20 times estimated 2021 earnings. That compares with the 22 times multiple of the S&P 500.\nThat makes these companies safe at a reasonable price.\nThere is no telling what is coming down the pike at investors in 2021.Inflation,interest rates, trade relations between major economies and other unforeseen things will surely start to nettle investors in the future even if Covid-19 fades.\nWith these industrial stocks, however, investors can worry less about the security of their quarterly payouts.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":15,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":385873733,"gmtCreate":1613536345722,"gmtModify":1704881751804,"author":{"id":"3561728795184169","authorId":"3561728795184169","name":"Peskythumbs","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/93a66141406a539311db18c13b9bd688","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Looking forward to the earnings report!Also can’t wait for Roku to expand to Asia~ come quick","listText":"Looking forward to the earnings report!Also can’t wait for Roku to expand to Asia~ come quick","text":"Looking forward to the earnings report!Also can’t wait for Roku to expand to Asia~ come quick","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/385873733","repostId":"1114494462","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1114494462","pubTimestamp":1613460376,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1114494462?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-16 15:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"ROKU Gears Up to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in the Cards?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1114494462","media":"Zacks","summary":"Roku is set to report fourth-quarter 2020 results on Feb 18.\nThe company expects fourth-quarter year","content":"<p><b>Roku</b>&nbsp;is set to report fourth-quarter 2020 results on Feb 18.</p>\n<p>The company expects fourth-quarter year-over-year revenue growth in the mid-40% range while platform revenues are expected to account for roughly two-thirds of total revenues.</p>\n<p>The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter revenues is pegged at $615.8 million, indicating 49.7% growth from the year-ago quarter reported figure.</p>\n<p>Moreover, the consensus mark for loss has remained steady at 8 cents per share in the past 30 days.

The iPhone maker has been highly secretive about its plans for “Project Titan,” confirmed in 2016, which has evolved to encompass self-driving, or autonomous, electric vehicles.</p>\n<p>Analysts have suspected that the Silicon Valley giant would partner with an existing auto maker to break into the capital-intensive vehicle industry.</p>\n<p>On Feb. 8, Korean auto makersHyundaiandKiasaid they were no longer in talks with Apple over an autonomous electric-vehicle project, following widespread press and analyst speculation that a deal was near. That news had sent Hyundai stock down more than 6% and shares in Kia down 15%—eliminating a combined $8.5 billion in market value from the two companies.</p>\n<p>The next day, Nissan’s chief executive Makoto Uchida was pressed in an earrings call on whether the company had been approached by Apple about a collaboration. Uchida avoided addressing Apple directly, but indicated that Nissan could partner with technology companies on building the next generation of cars.</p>\n<p><b>What’s new.</b>Nissan confirmed on Monday that it was not in talks with Apple, but said it was open to exploring collaborations and partnerships to accelerate the vehicle industry.</p>\n<p>The Financial Timeshad reported earlierthat there were discussions between the two groups over a partnership, but that talks had stalled over possible branding. According to the report, the discussions did not reach senior management levels.</p>\n<p>A source close to Nissantold Agence France-Pressethat “when you make a product under the Apple brand, you give your soul— and your profit margins— to Apple,” and that Nissan was “not interested in giving Apple the best that we offer.”</p>\n<p><b>Looking ahead.</b>It makes sense that Apple would partner with a strong auto maker to realize its electric-vehicle dreams. With Nissan crossed off, following Hyundai and Kia, that list is narrowing.</p>\n<p>On Feb. 7, just before Hyundai and Kia confirmed they were not involved with Apple, veteran technology analyst Daniel Ives of investment firm Wedbush, said it was a matter of “when not if” Apple entered the electric-vehicle race. Ives put the chances at 85% that the tech giant would announce a relevant partnership or collaboration within the next three to six months.</p>\n<p>Ives singled out Hyundai as the most likely choice, withVolkswagen Group—which also makes Audi andPorsche—as the next best bet.

The iPhone maker has been highly secretive about its plans for “Project Titan,” confirmed in 2016, which has evolved to encompass self-driving, or autonomous, electric vehicles.\nAnalysts have suspected that the Silicon Valley giant would partner with an existing auto maker to break into the capital-intensive vehicle industry.\nOn Feb. 8, Korean auto makersHyundaiandKiasaid they were no longer in talks with Apple over an autonomous electric-vehicle project, following widespread press and analyst speculation that a deal was near. That news had sent Hyundai stock down more than 6% and shares in Kia down 15%—eliminating a combined $8.5 billion in market value from the two companies.\nThe next day, Nissan’s chief executive Makoto Uchida was pressed in an earrings call on whether the company had been approached by Apple about a collaboration. Uchida avoided addressing Apple directly, but indicated that Nissan could partner with technology companies on building the next generation of cars.\nWhat’s new.Nissan confirmed on Monday that it was not in talks with Apple, but said it was open to exploring collaborations and partnerships to accelerate the vehicle industry.\nThe Financial Timeshad reported earlierthat there were discussions between the two groups over a partnership, but that talks had stalled over possible branding. According to the report, the discussions did not reach senior management levels.\nA source close to Nissantold Agence France-Pressethat “when you make a product under the Apple brand, you give your soul— and your profit margins— to Apple,” and that Nissan was “not interested in giving Apple the best that we offer.”\nLooking ahead.It makes sense that Apple would partner with a strong auto maker to realize its electric-vehicle dreams. With Nissan crossed off, following Hyundai and Kia, that list is narrowing.\nOn Feb. 7, just before Hyundai and Kia confirmed they were not involved with Apple, veteran technology analyst Daniel Ives of investment firm Wedbush, said it was a matter of “when not if” Apple entered the electric-vehicle race. Ives put the chances at 85% that the tech giant would announce a relevant partnership or collaboration within the next three to six months.\nIves singled out Hyundai as the most likely choice, withVolkswagen Group—which also makes Audi andPorsche—as the next best bet. With Hyundai out, investors should keep an eye on the German giant. The analyst also floated Tesla andFordas possible candidates.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":139,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":368563339,"gmtCreate":1614339056921,"gmtModify":1704770872872,"author":{"id":"3561728795184169","authorId":"3561728795184169","name":"Peskythumbs","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/93a66141406a539311db18c13b9bd688","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"long TSLA","listText":"long TSLA","text":"long TSLA","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/368563339","repostId":"2114326273","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":83,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":360212207,"gmtCreate":1613923292709,"gmtModify":1704885955809,"author":{"id":"3561728795184169","authorId":"3561728795184169","name":"Peskythumbs","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/93a66141406a539311db18c13b9bd688","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Bad news","listText":"Bad news","text":"Bad news","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/360212207","repostId":"1194607255","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1194607255","pubTimestamp":1613728971,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1194607255?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-19 18:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Uber drivers should be classified as workers not independent contractors, top UK court rules","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1194607255","media":"cnbc","summary":"LONDON —Uberlost a crucial legal fight in the U.K. on Friday, as the country's Supreme Court upheld ","content":"<div>\n<p>LONDON —Uberlost a crucial legal fight in the U.K. on Friday, as the country's Supreme Court upheld a ruling that its drivers should be classified as workers rather than independent contractors.\nThe ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/19/uk-supreme-court-rules-uber-drivers-are-workers-not-contractors.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

In the past week, it has turned into a flood, helping to push the price of Bitcoin to a record of $48,297 on Thursday.</p><p>The most buzzworthy move came from Tesla (ticker: TSLA), which disclosed on Monday that it hasbought $1.5 billion worth of Bitcointo hold on its balance sheet. The company plans to let consumers use the currency to pay for cars.</p><p>But Tesla isn’t the only one. On Thursday, BNY Mellon (BK), the oldest bank in the U.S.,said it will hold and transfer cryptocurrencies for customers. “Growing client demand for digital assets, maturity of advanced solutions, and improving regulatory clarity present a tremendous opportunity for us to extend our current service offerings to this emerging field,” said Roman Regelman, the bank’s CEO of asset servicing and head of digital.</p><p>Mastercard (MA) said on Wednesday that it will let merchants accept some cryptocurrencies through its network later this year. The payments will be converted to traditional money before it enters the companies’ systems.Twitter(TWTR) is also considering a Bitcoin investment. And Square (SQ) has already put some on its balance sheet, as well as given users of its Cash App access to buy the cryptocurrency.</p><p>Why is this happening now? Cryptocurrencies are still not particularly useful outside of a very few cases, such as cross-border transactions. Even there, they haven’t fully taken hold.</p><p>There are at least four big reasons corporations are diving in.</p><p>One is that some company founders believe in Bitcoin. Their excitement about the asset has convinced them that their companies need to be involved, or have cryptocurrency investments, even if Bitcoin isn’t really the core of their operations. That appears to be the case for Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk, and for a software company calledMicrostrategyand its CEO, Michael Saylor.</p><p>Microstrategy, whose entire market capitalization was below $1 billion early last year, now owns more than $2 billion of Bitcoin, and its market cap is now just under $10 billion. Saylor told<i>Barron’s</i>&nbsp;in an interview last yearthat he sees Bitcoin as a hedge against monetary debasement and inflation.</p><p>Square CEO Jack Dorsey ‘s fascination with Bitcoin also likely sped Square’s adoption. He has spoken about his interest in the currency for years.</p><p>Tesla’s purchase of Bitcoin is strong marketing for the company and the currency, said Dan Morehead, founder of the crypto hedge fund Pantera Capital. But it won’t likely change the way Bitcoin is used. “Tesla sells a half a million cars a year,” he said. “If they sold 4% in Bitcoin, I’d be surprised.” Morehead thinks Bitoin’s growing use for cross-border payments is much more exciting from a practical perspective.</p><p>Other companies are getting into Bitcoin because of customer demand. That appears to be the case for BNY Mellon, which is not known for making risky bets on new technologies. It could stay out of the industry altogether, but more institutional investors are buying Bitcoin and need somewhere to put it.</p><p>And the infrastructure around Bitcoin has grown, so that it now more closely resembles the systems used in the rest of the world of finance.. Big companies now insure cryptocurrencies or—as in the case ofJPMorgan Chase(JPM)—offer services to cryptocurrency businesses, even if most still don’t hold Bitcoin on their own balance sheets.</p><p>A third reason is increasing government acceptance of the trend. BNY cited greater regulatory clarity around Bitcoin as one reason it is diving in. The U.S. government has taken a mostly laissez-faire approach to regulating digital assets even as many of the illegal activities that cryptocurrency has been associated with in the past have continued. Without at least the tacit approval of regulators, crypto couldn’t have landed on the balance sheets of so many companies.</p><p>A fourth reason cryptocurrencies are gaining hold in corporate boardrooms is that they serve multiple purposes. That gives corporations several different rationales to hold the coins, or offer related services. Cryptocurrencies have the potential to go well beyond Bitcoin’s initial premise as a way to send money without financial intermediaries. So-called stablecoins, whose value is meant to track fiat currencies, could allow for faster transactions for some kinds of financial services, for instance.</p><p>Visa(V) andMasterCardseem like the last places in the world that Bitcoin would take hold given that Bitcoin was created to eliminate the middlemen in finance. Few companies fill the role of middleman as perfectly as the credit-card processors. Visa, however, thinks that cryptocurrencies are useful for many other purposes, and its trusted brand makes it an important player, according to Cuy Sheffield, head of crypto at the company.</p><p>“We’ve seen growing demand from clients across the world that want to be able to plug in and use these networks, but they want a global, neutral, trusted brand, to help them be able to do that,” Sheffield said in an interview. Visa said last week it has created software that allows bank customers to buy and hold cryptocurrencies through lenders’ websites.</p><p>Will old-line financial companies be the biggest beneficiaries of the crypto “revolution”? Michael Venuto, the chief investment officer of Toroso Investments, doesn’t think it will be easy for them to dominate this new world. Toroso created theAmplify Transformational Data SharingETF (ticker: BLOK), which invests in public companies involved in the technology behind Bitcoin.</p><p>“In terms of the self-referenced paradox of the old economy accepting the blockchain, it is simply inevitable,” Venuto wrote in an email to<i>Barron’s</i>. “If they don’t explore the blockchain they will be extinct. They understand that, but they are not aware of how big the changes will be or how fast they will happen. They have to evolve, but evolution can be messy.”</p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","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>Not Just Tesla: Why Big Companies are Buying into Crypto-Mania</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\">\nNot Just Tesla: Why Big Companies are Buying into Crypto-Mania\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-02-12 11:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.barrons.com/articles/not-just-tesla-why-big-companies-are-buying-into-crypto-mania-51613069805?mod=hp_LEADSUPP_1><strong>barrons</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>For months, there has beena consistent trickle of newsabout mainstream businesses getting involved in cryptocurrencies.

It could stay out of the industry altogether, but more institutional investors are buying Bitcoin and need somewhere to put it.And the infrastructure around Bitcoin has grown, so that it now more closely resembles the systems used in the rest of the world of finance.. Big companies now insure cryptocurrencies or—as in the case ofJPMorgan Chase(JPM)—offer services to cryptocurrency businesses, even if most still don’t hold Bitcoin on their own balance sheets.A third reason is increasing government acceptance of the trend. BNY cited greater regulatory clarity around Bitcoin as one reason it is diving in. The U.S. government has taken a mostly laissez-faire approach to regulating digital assets even as many of the illegal activities that cryptocurrency has been associated with in the past have continued. Without at least the tacit approval of regulators, crypto couldn’t have landed on the balance sheets of so many companies.A fourth reason cryptocurrencies are gaining hold in corporate boardrooms is that they serve multiple purposes. That gives corporations several different rationales to hold the coins, or offer related services. Cryptocurrencies have the potential to go well beyond Bitcoin’s initial premise as a way to send money without financial intermediaries. So-called stablecoins, whose value is meant to track fiat currencies, could allow for faster transactions for some kinds of financial services, for instance.Visa(V) andMasterCardseem like the last places in the world that Bitcoin would take hold given that Bitcoin was created to eliminate the middlemen in finance. Few companies fill the role of middleman as perfectly as the credit-card processors. Visa, however, thinks that cryptocurrencies are useful for many other purposes, and its trusted brand makes it an important player, according to Cuy Sheffield, head of crypto at the company.“We’ve seen growing demand from clients across the world that want to be able to plug in and use these networks, but they want a global, neutral, trusted brand, to help them be able to do that,” Sheffield said in an interview. Visa said last week it has created software that allows bank customers to buy and hold cryptocurrencies through lenders’ websites.Will old-line financial companies be the biggest beneficiaries of the crypto “revolution”? Michael Venuto, the chief investment officer of Toroso Investments, doesn’t think it will be easy for them to dominate this new world. Toroso created theAmplify Transformational Data SharingETF (ticker: BLOK), which invests in public companies involved in the technology behind Bitcoin.“In terms of the self-referenced paradox of the old economy accepting the blockchain, it is simply inevitable,” Venuto wrote in an email toBarron’s. “If they don’t explore the blockchain they will be extinct. They understand that, but they are not aware of how big the changes will be or how fast they will happen. They have to evolve, but evolution can be messy.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":216,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9016696648,"gmtCreate":1649174117472,"gmtModify":1676534463885,"author":{"id":"3561728795184169","authorId":"3561728795184169","name":"Peskythumbs","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/93a66141406a539311db18c13b9bd688","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/SQQQ\">$ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ(SQQQ)$</a>[Smile]&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/SQQQ\">$ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ(SQQQ)$</a>[Smile]&nbsp;","text":"$ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ(SQQQ)$[Smile]","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/85b31ba1985034fadb132a793c2f2d5c","width":"1125","height":"4526"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9016696648","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":216,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":140824960,"gmtCreate":1625647936050,"gmtModify":1703745591692,"author":{"id":"3561728795184169","authorId":"3561728795184169","name":"Peskythumbs","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/93a66141406a539311db18c13b9bd688","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Onlooker]&nbsp;","listText":"[Onlooker]&nbsp;","text":"[Onlooker]","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b46c6ec8eba6b24738ebb0ed1fb07fd","width":"1242","height":"1767"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/140824960","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":148,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":156413939,"gmtCreate":1625233845721,"gmtModify":1703739024403,"author":{"id":"3561728795184169","authorId":"3561728795184169","name":"Peskythumbs","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/93a66141406a539311db18c13b9bd688","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Sly]&nbsp;","listText":"[Sly]&nbsp;","text":"[Sly]","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/597fe11a4f8ebec3813412f1cf0ae73f","width":"1242","height":"1767"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/156413939","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":182,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":361555699,"gmtCreate":1614248959511,"gmtModify":1704769586345,"author":{"id":"3561728795184169","authorId":"3561728795184169","name":"Peskythumbs","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/93a66141406a539311db18c13b9bd688","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"no","listText":"no","text":"no","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/361555699","repostId":"2113367475","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2113367475","pubTimestamp":1614238434,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2113367475?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-25 15:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Dropbox Stock a Buy?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2113367475","media":"Leo Sun","summary":"The cloud storage provider still faces an uphill battle in 2021.","content":"<p><b>Dropbox</b>'s (NASDAQ:DBX) stock price recently dipped after the cloud storage service provider posted its fourth-quarter earnings.

By the time the closing bell rang, Airbnb stock ended up 6.7%.</p>\n<p><b>So what</b></p>\n<p>Just 24 hours remain before Airbnb reports its fiscal Q4 earnings -- tomorrow after close of trading. And while investors seem eager to see the results, they might not want to get their hopes<i>too</i>high up. According to analysts who follow the stock, Airbnb is probably going to report a loss of epic proportions -- as much as $9.16 per share, on sales of just under $748 million.</p>\n<p>Not everyone is in agreement on that.On Monday if you recall, analysts at Loop Capital predicted Airbnb will do better than those low expectations and upgraded the stock to a buy.</p>\n<p><b>Now what</b></p>\n<p>Even if Airbnb fails to \"beat earnings,\" though, there's still the potential for&nbsp;the stock to fly higher. Why?</p>\n<p>Well, consider: New reports of coronavirus infections are way down -- barely 71,000 reported yesterday, and only 56,000 the day before that. While those numbers both sound pretty big, they're mere fractions of the nearly 300,000 cases reported at the peak of the pandemic, Jan. 2.</p>\n<p>The Biden administration, meanwhile, is taking affirmative steps to drive those numbers even lower.

By the time the closing bell rang, Airbnb stock ended up 6.7%.\nSo what\nJust 24 hours remain before Airbnb reports its fiscal Q4 earnings -- tomorrow after close of trading. And while investors seem eager to see the results, they might not want to get their hopestoohigh up. According to analysts who follow the stock, Airbnb is probably going to report a loss of epic proportions -- as much as $9.16 per share, on sales of just under $748 million.\nNot everyone is in agreement on that.On Monday if you recall, analysts at Loop Capital predicted Airbnb will do better than those low expectations and upgraded the stock to a buy.\nNow what\nEven if Airbnb fails to \"beat earnings,\" though, there's still the potential for the stock to fly higher. Why?\nWell, consider: New reports of coronavirus infections are way down -- barely 71,000 reported yesterday, and only 56,000 the day before that. While those numbers both sound pretty big, they're mere fractions of the nearly 300,000 cases reported at the peak of the pandemic, Jan. 2.\nThe Biden administration, meanwhile, is taking affirmative steps to drive those numbers even lower. On Wednesday, it was reported that the federal government is shipping out 25 million masks to workers in \"community health centers ... food pantries and soup kitchens,\" to help tamp down infections among the people most in need. And with vaccinations at the rate of 1.5 million a day -- accelerating toward 3 million per day by next month -- hopes are emerging that the pandemic and the recessionit caused could soon be put to bed, giving rise to an earlier-than-expected economic recovery.\nThe sooner that happens, the faster folks will resume traveling, taking vacations -- and booking rooms with Airbnb again. No matter how big Airbnb's losses when it reports earnings tomorrow, that's good news for Airbnb stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":255,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
