This has caused stagnant domestic revenue year over year and a decrease in customer engagement by 7%. However, consumer services including mapping and integrated commerce (Amap/Koubei), travel (Fliggy), and food delivery (Ele.me), had much stronger growth, with 21% year-over-year revenue growth. This was primarily driven by stricter lockdowns which caused much higher average order value per customer.</p><p>In FY22, Alibaba had 903 million active annual retail customers (AACs) across its various businesses. Alibaba had 98% retention of customers who spent at least $1,500 USD in FY21. These high-spending customers represent about 15% of AACs. With the addition of a more robust logistics network with Cainiao discussed below, 70% of new active annual customers were from less developed areas of China. More than 50% of Taocaicai, a direct-from-producer grocery and consumer staples provider were first-time buyers. Taobao, a hybrid of Etsy and eBay, had a 100% year-over-year increase in orders.</p><p>Cainiao is a primarily domestic, but expanding international, logistics and supply chain firm that offers delivery solutions. Year over year it had an increase of 36% in revenue (26%, excluding internal Alibaba transfers), equally driven by lockdowns forcing more domestic businesses to use e-commerce and virtual fulfillment solutions. International expansion has been ongoing. On average, 4.5 million parcels per day were moved internationally through the 9 parcel hubs globally. This figure is down approximately 500,000 from FY21, likely driven by a portion of the international air cargo fleet being Russian-registered and operated.</p><p>International e-commerce saw a 3% year-over-year increase in orders. Trendyol primarily drove this, a Turkish platform, 90% owned by Alibaba. In international wholesale markets, Alibaba had a 6% year-over-year increase in orders. In FY22, this amounted to 305 million annual active customers.</p><h3><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/affb544001bfbd48ea9102faf53551d3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Alibaba Cloud and Digital Media</h3><p>Alibaba cloud operates as an infrastructure as a service (IaaS)/software as a service (SaaS) hybrid business, providing private and public cloud services to businesses. While this has seen some softening of demand, it still had a 4% year-over-year growth. In addition, while globally AWS and Azure still dominate, Chinese firms expressed a 70% preference for Chinese-owned providers.</p><p>Chinese internet infrastructure for companies is still largely dominated by traditional internal server architecture, with the SaaS market remaining tiny at just $5.2 billion. For reference, the US market for SaaS is over $120 billion. The total addressable market for cloud service providers is expected to grow to $30 to $70 billion by 2025 with public cloud accounting for 45% of this addressable market, and 55% being private cloud.</p><p>Alibaba operates a growing digital media operation, encompassing production operation Alibaba Pictures and video streaming service Youku. Combined these segments saw a 4% revenue growth.</p><h3>Final Thoughts</h3><p>In FY22, Alibaba reached the long-term strategic goal to serve 1 billion consumers in China and raised its goal to facilitate RMB10 trillion of annual consumption in China ($1.4 Trillion USD). In FY22 it facilitated RMB8 trillion ($1.3 Trillion USD). While geopolitical risk is always something to keep in mind, Alibaba is a dominant force in domestic Chinese retail and logistics.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3ec9432966ea3f24e114ffda4706168f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"364\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Alibaba still has room to expand its market domestically and internationally, especially within the logistics and cloud spaces.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Upon completion of the distribution, Next Bridge will be an independent public reporting company, but the Next Bridge common stock is not and will not be publicly traded and will not be eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company book-entry system or any other established clearing corporation.</p><p>Subject to certain conditions, including, among others, completion of all necessary actions and filings with regard to applicable state securities or &#34;blue sky&#34; laws and final FINRA approval, for which there can be no assurances that such approval will be given, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock as of 4 p.m. ET on December 12, 2022, (the record date for the distribution), will be entitled to receive one share of Next Bridge common stock for every one share of Series A Preferred Stock held as of the record date. The shares of Next Bridge common stock will be distributed on December 14, 2022 after the close of the trading markets, at which time (i) all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be automatically cancelled, (ii) the holders of such Series A Preferred Stock will cease to have any rights with respect to such shares and (iii) the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, MMTLP, will no longer be tradable on the OTC market.</p><p>Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are not required to take any action in connection with the distribution and are not required to make payment or surrender/exchange their shares of Series A Preferred Stock in order to receive shares of Next Bridge common stock. The shares of Next Bridge common stock will be issued to the accounts of each holder of Series A Preferred Stock as follows:</p><ul><li><i><b><u>Registered stockholders</u></b></i>. If the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are owned directly through META&#39;s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer &amp; Trust Company LLC (&#34;AST&#34;), such holder is a registered stockholder. In this case, the distribution agent, which is also AST, will credit the whole number of shares of Next Bridge common stock to be received in the distribution by such record stockholder by directly registering such shares in book-entry form in a new AST account in the name of such record stockholder. Registration in book-entry form refers to a method of recording share ownership where no physical stock certificates are issued to stockholders, as is the case in the distribution. Registered stockholders will be able to access information regarding their book-entry account holding Next Bridge common stock at the transfer agent. Commencing on or shortly after the distribution date, the transfer agent will mail an account statement to each registered stockholder that indicates the number of whole shares of Next Bridge common stock that have been registered in book-entry form in their name.</li><li><i><b><u>&#34;Street name&#34; or beneficial stockholders</u></b></i>. Most META stockholders own their shares of Series A Preferred Stock beneficially through a bank, broker or other nominee. In these cases, the bank, broker or other nominee holds the shares in &#34;street name&#34; and records such ownership on its books. If a holder owns shares of the Series A Preferred Stock through a bank, broker or other nominee, the bank, broker or other nominee will credit the holder&#39;s account with the whole shares of Next Bridge common stock received in the distribution on or shortly after the distribution date; however, shares of Next Bridge common stock will not be eligible for electronic trading through DTC or any other established clearing corporation. Therefore, META encourages these holders to contact their bank, broker or other nominee to instruct such bank, broker or other nominee to transfer the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to META&#39;s transfer agent on or prior to the record date such that each such holder of Series A Preferred Stock is then the registered holder of the distributed shares of Next Bridge common stock in book-entry form in a new account with META&#39;s transfer agent.</li></ul><p>Holders of Series A Preferred Stock who sell their shares on or before the record date will not be entitled to receive the shares of Next Bridge common stock in the distribution in respect of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock sold. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock who sell their shares after the record date but <i>before</i> the distribution date will be required to transfer the shares of Next Bridge common stock received in the distribution to the subsequent purchaser of Series A Preferred Stock.</p><p>A registration statement on Form S-1 relating to the shares subject to the distribution has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and became effective on November 18, 2022. The registration statement and any subsequent filings (including the final prospectus) will be available for free on the SEC&#39;s website at http://www.sec.gov. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal, state and local or foreign tax consequences, as applicable, of the distribution of Next Bridge common stock. For additional information regarding the distribution, the tax impacts, and the manner in which holders of Series A Preferred Stock may receive shares of Next Bridge common stock, please refer to the registration statement and any subsequent filings (including the final prospectus) filed with the SEC relating to the registration statement.</p><p>This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.</p><p><b>Advisors</b></p><p>Wilson Sonsini Goodrich &amp; Rosati is serving as legal advisor to META, and O&#39;Melveny &amp; Myers LLP is serving as legal advisor to Next Bridge in connection with the distribution.</p><p><b>About Meta Materials Inc.</b></p><p>META® delivers previously unachievable performance, across a range of applications, by inventing, designing, developing, and manufacturing sustainable, high-performance, functional materials.

That’s an area of particular sensitivity for Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan, who earlier this year sued to block <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a> Inc. from acquiring a popular fitness app to gain an edge in the fledgling virtual reality market.</p><p>Although Khan hasn’t commented specifically on the Activision deal, she said at an October conference that the FTC is focusing on ways digital platforms use mergers to maintain their dominance during periods of technical transitions.</p><p>“Right now we are seeing that period of technological transition -- be it in the context of the cloud or voice assistants or virtual reality,” Khan said. “We have to be especially vigilant across the board, but particularly in the merger context.”</p><p>Microsoft announced in January it planned to buy game publisher Activision Blizzard, which has developed popular franchises like Call of Duty and World of Warcraft. The acquisition would be the company’s largest ever and one of the 30 biggest deals of all time. Although Brazilian antitrust officials cleared it, other competition regulators, including the UK and the European Union, have raised concerns that Microsoft could withhold popular titles from rivals, particularly from Sony Group Corp.’s Playstation.</p><p>Microsoft said it has offered a proposal that would keep Call of Duty on the Playstation for the next 10 years. But that kind of a settlement might not placate regulators, said Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Jennifer Rie.</p><p>“This is a deal that needs behavioral concessions and the FTC is not accepting behavioral concessions,” Rie said. “They don’t have any other choice but to sue.”</p><p>The FTC declined to comment.</p><p>Microsoft said in a statement it’s “prepared to address the concerns of regulators, including the FTC, and Sony to ensure the deal closes with confidence.” Microsoft pointed out that it would still trail Sony and market leader Tencent Holdings Ltd. in the gaming market after the takeover has been completed.</p><p>The Biden administration’s antitrust officials have taken an aggressive tack with companies seeking to merge, often rejecting proposed settlements in favor of lawsuits. The Justice Department has filed a record 10 merger challenges since June 2021. The FTC also has blocked two major deals that sought regulatory approval based on pledges the merged company would play nice with its rivals –- Nvidia Corp.’s purchase of Arm Ltd. from SoftBank Group Corp. and Lockheed Martin Corp.’s bid to buy <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AJRD\">Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings Inc</a>.</p><p>Then there’s the furor over Live Nation’s Ticketmaster unit after its botched launch of Taylor Swift concert ticket sales last week. The ticketing giant merged with Live Nation in 2010 after the Justice Department blessed its offer to license Ticketmaster’s software to other companies and pledge not to retaliate against venues that chose alternate ticketing vendors. Some lawmakers and advocates are now calling to unwind that merger, saying regulators should never have approved it in the first place.</p><p>Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard deal also features another aspect that has piqued the interest of regulators –- major technology platforms using acquisitions to dominate emerging industries, in this case cloud gaming. Several tech companies launched forays into subscription gaming services using cloud technology including Microsoft, Sony, Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Amazon.com Inc. --although few have broken into the mainstream and, in September Google announced it would shut down its Stadia service.</p><p>Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass, which includes cloud gaming in its Ultimate package, leads the market with more than 25 million subscribers.

That’s an area of particular sensitivity for Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan, who earlier this year sued to block Meta Platforms Inc. from acquiring a popular fitness app to gain an edge in the fledgling virtual reality market.Although Khan hasn’t commented specifically on the Activision deal, she said at an October conference that the FTC is focusing on ways digital platforms use mergers to maintain their dominance during periods of technical transitions.“Right now we are seeing that period of technological transition -- be it in the context of the cloud or voice assistants or virtual reality,” Khan said. “We have to be especially vigilant across the board, but particularly in the merger context.”Microsoft announced in January it planned to buy game publisher Activision Blizzard, which has developed popular franchises like Call of Duty and World of Warcraft. The acquisition would be the company’s largest ever and one of the 30 biggest deals of all time. Although Brazilian antitrust officials cleared it, other competition regulators, including the UK and the European Union, have raised concerns that Microsoft could withhold popular titles from rivals, particularly from Sony Group Corp.’s Playstation.Microsoft said it has offered a proposal that would keep Call of Duty on the Playstation for the next 10 years. But that kind of a settlement might not placate regulators, said Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Jennifer Rie.“This is a deal that needs behavioral concessions and the FTC is not accepting behavioral concessions,” Rie said. “They don’t have any other choice but to sue.”The FTC declined to comment.Microsoft said in a statement it’s “prepared to address the concerns of regulators, including the FTC, and Sony to ensure the deal closes with confidence.” Microsoft pointed out that it would still trail Sony and market leader Tencent Holdings Ltd. in the gaming market after the takeover has been completed.The Biden administration’s antitrust officials have taken an aggressive tack with companies seeking to merge, often rejecting proposed settlements in favor of lawsuits. The Justice Department has filed a record 10 merger challenges since June 2021. The FTC also has blocked two major deals that sought regulatory approval based on pledges the merged company would play nice with its rivals –- Nvidia Corp.’s purchase of Arm Ltd. from SoftBank Group Corp. and Lockheed Martin Corp.’s bid to buy Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings Inc.Then there’s the furor over Live Nation’s Ticketmaster unit after its botched launch of Taylor Swift concert ticket sales last week. The ticketing giant merged with Live Nation in 2010 after the Justice Department blessed its offer to license Ticketmaster’s software to other companies and pledge not to retaliate against venues that chose alternate ticketing vendors. Some lawmakers and advocates are now calling to unwind that merger, saying regulators should never have approved it in the first place.Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard deal also features another aspect that has piqued the interest of regulators –- major technology platforms using acquisitions to dominate emerging industries, in this case cloud gaming. Several tech companies launched forays into subscription gaming services using cloud technology including Microsoft, Sony, Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Amazon.com Inc. --although few have broken into the mainstream and, in September Google announced it would shut down its Stadia service.Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass, which includes cloud gaming in its Ultimate package, leads the market with more than 25 million subscribers. In part, that’s because Microsoft’s dozens of game studios provide a direct channel of content. Activision Blizzard is expected to add enormously to the subscription service’s value proposition.UK regulators, who must also approve the acquisition, have highlighted concerns about cloud gaming as one of the main reasons they extended their review through March 2023. The deal could “tip or significantly increase concentration” of cloud gaming in Microsoft’s favor before rivals have a chance to develop, the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":556,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9961384461,"gmtCreate":1668839443154,"gmtModify":1676538120905,"author":{"id":"3562361215333748","authorId":"3562361215333748","name":"tionglim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d488f4ff48c280ec624f30e1178e347d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3562361215333748","idStr":"3562361215333748"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9961384461","repostId":"1143890380","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1143890380","pubTimestamp":1668822759,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1143890380?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-19 09:52","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Sea Limited: Profitability May Be Around The Corner","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1143890380","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryFurther uncertainty for Sea Limited's Garena as its QAU did not stabilize as expected.

The macro headwinds continue to be a headache, and it seems that there is more uncertainty lying ahead for Garena Free Fire. The key forward is to focus on launching new games, with games such asPrimitive EraandBlack Clover Mobilelaunching recently. While this indicates that management is working hard to reaccelerate Garena’s growth, it is important to recognize that the success of games is not guaranteed, and this is the bigger uncertainty for the business. As a result, this caused its adjusted EBITDA margin to further decline to 32.5% during the quarter.</p><p>Additionally, management states that the expiry of the agreement with Riot Games will have no impact on Garena’s publishing business, and Garena is seeking other top-game developers for their publishing business.</p><p>Shopee<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/79b7f33be279fa015f52addd35b55d96\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>SE 10-Q<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6aaff49a0ba8c901eadda2b7cf01a391\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>SE 10-Q</p><p>Shopee’s GMV grew 14% Y/Y and the number of orders grew 18% Y/Y, a continuous decline in the past couple of quarters. This is a result of management pulling back on its sales and marketing (“S&amp;M”) expenses, exiting multiple markets, cutting costs aggressively (such as hiring), and lastly, the lower consumer discretionary spending. This is in contrast to Lazada (NYSE: BABA), as the number oforders declined Y/Yand they are also prioritizing profitability through increased monetization.</p><p>While this does show that consumers continue to spend on Shopee in SEA, its GMV and number of orders are partially contributed by Shopee Brazil. In a tough macro environment, Shopee experienced a 36% Y/Y growth in the number of brands on the platform, indicating that Shopee is an increasingly important partner in growing its online revenue.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e09e1e030c482f41afaf8695896f9ec\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>SE 10-Q</p><p>The more important portion is Shopee’s improvement in profitability. Its overall adjusted EBITDA loss per order continues to improve by 23.5% sequentially, and more specifically, Shopee Brazil’s loss per order improved by 27.5% sequentially during the quarter as compared to 6.6% in the last quarter. Moreover, Shopee is expected to attain profitability by FY23 instead of FY25 as previously guided by the management. This goes to show that the management has made great strides in pursuing profitability, which is impressive in my view. Once it attained self-sufficiency, growth can reaccelerate, although, the management is expecting flat or negative growth in certain metrics in the near term.</p><h3>SeaBank</h3><p><i>Note that I will be using “SeaBank” and “SeaMoney” interchangeably.</i></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0f0cb77d6ac22f50a1208eaf075db51c\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>SE 10-Q</p><p>SeaMoney’s loan receivables grew 46% from 4Q21 and 110% from 3Q21 to $2.2 billion. These are loans provided to customers whereby SeaMoney generates revenue by charging interest rates, and it has been growing quickly. In myprevious article, I showed that in Sep 2022, SeaBank Indonesia grew its loans and customer deposits by 111% Y/Y and 147% Y/Y, respectively, and the launch of ShopeePay in Brazil. During the earnings call, management stated that the credit business is profitable and cash flow positive, and it will be focusing on growing this business in Southeast Asia (“SEA”) and Brazil.</p><p>Additionally, they have also said to diversify their source of funding for the credit business, which I believe is to seek third-party financing partners to reduce the capital required for the business and at the same time, reduce credit risk. Similar to Bank Jago (IDX: ARTO), SeaBank may utilize the data of its partners to help improve the non-performing loans and scale its lending.

Management had also been deliberate in cutting down on S&amp;M expenses and combined with its acceleration revenue growth, its adjusted EBITDA margin has improved massively to -20.7% during the quarter. This is compared to -40% in 2Q22 and -120.3% a year ago.</p><h3>Sufficient Cash Reserves To Pay off Convertible Notes<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4ff585449530fce4084e7d1447e077b4\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"798\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></h3><p>SE 10-Q</p><p>One of the biggest concerns about Sea Limited for investors is the cash burn rate, as they fear that the company does not have enough sufficient cash reserves to pay off convertible notes maturing in 2026. However, not only did the cash outflow slow in Q3 2022, but the management has also hinted that there are sufficient cash reserves to pay off the convertible notes:</p><blockquote>“We aim to continue to maintain a net cash position, after budgeting for the full retirement in cash of outstanding convertible bonds and assuming no external funding.”</blockquote><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Overall, this was a pretty decent quarter for Sea Limited, as we could see that they had made huge improvements on the road to profitability, particularly for Shopee. While that comes at a growth trade-off, management has indicated that Shopee can reaccelerate its growth after attaining profitability in FY23, which is pulled forward from FY25 as guided previously.</p><p>Garena&#39;s results continue to be a concern as macro seems to have a longer-than-expected impact on its user base and its profitability as a result has been trending downwards over the past couple of quarters. Management has been working hard on its gaming pipelines, although the uncertainty lies in the successes of these new games and whether they could reaccelerate their growth in the future.</p><p>SeaBank has been growing its top line really quickly and huge improvements were made on the bottom line as well. Furthermore, the overall credit business is profitable and is generating positive cash flow, and has been increasingly making up a larger proportion of its total revenue. I continue to believe that this can be a potential growth driver for Sea Limited.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Sea Limited: Profitability May Be Around The Corner</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\">\nSea Limited: Profitability May Be Around The Corner\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-19 09:52 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4559176-sea-limited-profitability-may-be-around-the-corner><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryFurther uncertainty for Sea Limited's Garena as its QAU did not stabilize as expected.

In myprevious article, I showed that in Sep 2022, SeaBank Indonesia grew its loans and customer deposits by 111% Y/Y and 147% Y/Y, respectively, and the launch of ShopeePay in Brazil. During the earnings call, management stated that the credit business is profitable and cash flow positive, and it will be focusing on growing this business in Southeast Asia (“SEA”) and Brazil.Additionally, they have also said to diversify their source of funding for the credit business, which I believe is to seek third-party financing partners to reduce the capital required for the business and at the same time, reduce credit risk. Similar to Bank Jago (IDX: ARTO), SeaBank may utilize the data of its partners to help improve the non-performing loans and scale its lending. Readers who are unaware of SeaBank’s business model can head to mydeep diveinto the company.SE 10-QSE 10-QSE 10-QAs a result of its growing deposits and loan books, its Q3 2022 revenue grew 147% Y/Y, and it has been increasingly making up a bigger portion of its overall revenue at 10.4% this quarter. Management had also been deliberate in cutting down on S&M expenses and combined with its acceleration revenue growth, its adjusted EBITDA margin has improved massively to -20.7% during the quarter. This is compared to -40% in 2Q22 and -120.3% a year ago.Sufficient Cash Reserves To Pay off Convertible NotesSE 10-QOne of the biggest concerns about Sea Limited for investors is the cash burn rate, as they fear that the company does not have enough sufficient cash reserves to pay off convertible notes maturing in 2026. However, not only did the cash outflow slow in Q3 2022, but the management has also hinted that there are sufficient cash reserves to pay off the convertible notes:“We aim to continue to maintain a net cash position, after budgeting for the full retirement in cash of outstanding convertible bonds and assuming no external funding.”ConclusionOverall, this was a pretty decent quarter for Sea Limited, as we could see that they had made huge improvements on the road to profitability, particularly for Shopee. While that comes at a growth trade-off, management has indicated that Shopee can reaccelerate its growth after attaining profitability in FY23, which is pulled forward from FY25 as guided previously.Garena's results continue to be a concern as macro seems to have a longer-than-expected impact on its user base and its profitability as a result has been trending downwards over the past couple of quarters. Management has been working hard on its gaming pipelines, although the uncertainty lies in the successes of these new games and whether they could reaccelerate their growth in the future.SeaBank has been growing its top line really quickly and huge improvements were made on the bottom line as well. Furthermore, the overall credit business is profitable and is generating positive cash flow, and has been increasingly making up a larger proportion of its total revenue. I continue to believe that this can be a potential growth driver for Sea Limited.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":656,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9963763867,"gmtCreate":1668761683360,"gmtModify":1676538109664,"author":{"id":"3562361215333748","authorId":"3562361215333748","name":"tionglim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d488f4ff48c280ec624f30e1178e347d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3562361215333748","idStr":"3562361215333748"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9963763867","repostId":"2284724716","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2284724716","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1668719520,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2284724716?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-11-18 05:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Applied Materials Forecasts Strong Q1 Revenue on Easing Supply Chain Woes","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2284724716","media":"Reuters","summary":"Chip tools maker Applied Materials Inc forecast first-quarter revenue above market estimates on Thur","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Chip tools maker <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMAT\">Applied Materials Inc</a> forecast first-quarter revenue above market estimates on Thursday, on hopes that easing supply chain constraints will help it meet pent up demand from chipmakers ramping up production.</p><p>Shares of the Santa Clara, California-based company rose nearly 3 per cent in trading after the bell.</p><p>Even though the wider chip industry is seeing sluggish demand for consumer electronics like PCs and smart phones, the growing adoption of 5G and shift to hybrid work still remains positive.</p><p>Moreover, Applied is also set to benefit from a US push to cut dependency on China and ramp up domestic chip output, prompting chipmakers like Intel Corp and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing to announce plans for new plants.</p><p>The company posted revenue of US$6.75 billion for the fourth quarter ended Oct 30, compared to analysts&#39;

Software stocks were a big winner last year, but have been treading water with the broader market for some time, with winners and losers becoming much clearer as the group has ceded its leadership position in the market.</p>\n<p>One of those names is&nbsp;<b>Palantir Technologies</b>&nbsp;(PLTR), a stock that went public last year for less than half where it trades today.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6a9b1d2e752e326c58ab4ff3e570c8c0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"533\"><span>Source: StockCharts</span></p>\n<p>Palantir had a<i>huge</i>run about a month after going public, trading about 3X what it went public for just a couple of months earlier. Eventually, Palantir hit $44 (briefly) before selling back down to the low-$20s. The stock has been a bit rangebound since then, but I don’t see a lot of reason to be bullish on the chart.</p>\n<p>First, the 50-day moving average has been a brick wall since the stock fell below it a couple of months ago, and I’ve circled three times when Palantir tried to challenge the 50-DMA, only to be rejected. Until that line is crested and begins to move higher, there is no chance of an uptrend.</p>\n<p>The good news is that there appears to be decent support at $20/$21, which I’ve annotated as well. The bad news is that there appears to be a showdown coming between that support level and the declining 50-DMA; something will have to give after they converge.</p>\n<p>I always take a look at the accumulation/distribution line, and it is very uninspiring in Palantir’s case, declining sharply earlier this year and failing to reclaim any lost ground. The PPO is rising, but ever so slightly, and still in negative territory. If you squint, you may be able to pull something bullish from that, but to me, the PPO is neutral at best.</p>\n<p>The bottom line on the chart is that there is heavy resistance with the 50-DMA and not a lot to be excited about if you’re bullish, at least not yet. After the 50-DMA and price support collide, maybe Palantir trades higher and starts a new uptrend. But for me, as we’ll see below, I still think Palantir is way overvalued, so I see the odds of a break lower as higher than a bullish break.</p>\n<p><b>Great business? Check.</b></p>\n<p>Palantir was, for many years, a secretive software firm with only a couple thousand employees that seemed to know something others didn’t. Since Palantir was private, investors would hear only whispers of its greatness and how it was solving the world’s data challenges one customer at a time. This secretive nature of its business was only enhanced by the knowledge that most of its revenue was from government clients, supporting the US Army and others to fight the bad guys in more effective ways.</p>\n<p>Now that Palantir is public, we wonder no more about what it is doing, and what it is doing is terrific.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e56e8cad3d65fb642ecbc33fcb14df66\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"361\"><span>Source: Investor presentation</span></p>\n<p>Palantir’s customer book soared in 2020, posting 21 deals of at least $5 million, and growing its existing customers to the point where its top line gained 47% during a global pandemic. The mega-trend of harnessing the power of data has been around for a long time and is only accelerating, so the efficacy of Palantir’s business model is not in question. If anything, it will only become more relevant over time, and we should see more eye-popping revenue growth in the years to come. More on that in a bit.</p>\n<p>So what makes Palantir so good? Every company wants to use data to their advantage, gaining insights on customer behaviors to drive profitable revenue, optimizing the supply chain, optimizing their labor model, etc. There are many companies that do this, but Palantir somehow always seems to be in front of the rest.</p>\n<p><b>The company’s&nbsp;Gotham&nbsp;and&nbsp;Foundry</b></p>\n<p>In addition, it provides customers with a virtually instantaneous, completely transparent upgrade cycle with its Apollo platform. Here’s how it works.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a2121224ce69233cd63c0338cc98dc78\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"427\"><span>Source: Company website</span></p>\n<p>Apollo allows for continuous software upgrades that power its SaaS platforms, Foundry and Gotham, in the cloud. Apollo automates the updating of customer solutions with the latest features, which is value-add for the customer given there is no disruption to operations to make updates. This focus on the customer value proposition is part of the reason why Palantir has been so successful.</p>\n<p><b>Growth? Check.</b></p>\n<p>Palantir’s business is terrific and its products really are outstanding; it isn’t just hype. And as we’ll see now, the company has big plans.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/969cfb2c5c16598726010283937ae7f5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"359\"><span>Source: Investor presentation</span></p>\n<p>Palantir has been trying to diversify away from government clients, but the segment still makes up well over half of the total revenue. As I mentioned, government clients tend to offer stickier revenue to vendors given contracts are typically longer, and as Palantir has proven its worth, it has seen usage soar. Indeed, government customers produced 77% higher revenue last year, which is staggering. Palantir has positioned itself as the leader in helping the Department of Defense and others, and that position is paying off. It will be very difficult for anyone to supplant Palantir in this space.</p>\n<p>One of the knocks against Palantir – rightfully so – is that its revenue is extremely concentrated.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/930ed99d0c01154448e50b1629d6e9f6\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"351\"><span>Source: Investor presentation</span></p>\n<p>Revenue from the company’s top 20 customers soared 34% last year, and while it fell in terms of concentration, it was still 61% of the total. That is a tremendous amount of customer concentration risk for Palantir, and while it is working to get that number lower, I can’t think of another business of meaningful size that has this kind of concentration risk.</p>\n<p>The good news is that margins are outstanding, as you’d expect for a software business.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/edd0e011deeb434d9acf7a5b8347a250\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"352\"><span>Source: Investor presentation</span></p>\n<p>Not only are margins outstanding, they’re getting better. Gross margin is now in excess of 80% of revenue, and that number should only rise as more and more customers are signed. Since software has very little in the way of variable costs, delivering more of it costs Palantir very little, meaning incremental revenue is increasingly profitable. That’s why gross margin is soaring, and why it should continue to rise. Keep in mind that at 81% for the year, there isn’t a huge amount of upside left, but I expect Palantir’s margins to continue rising in the years to come.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation? Uh oh.</b></p>\n<p>Hopefully, I’ve made it clear I really do think Palantir’s business is exceptional, marking itself apart from a very crowded cloud-based data analysis sector. However, for all that goodness, I simply cannot make the valuation work for the bulls.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86fad8a0fdf4d22754e231bbdc23d9dd\" tg-width=\"532\" tg-height=\"158\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>The stock is about half what it was at its peak a few months ago, and still, it trades for 30X this year’s revenue. Of course, that number declines pretty quickly into next year and 2023, but we’re still talking about 23X and 18X, respectively. That kind of multiple is difficult to swallow given that valuations in the&nbsp;sector&nbsp;have come down, and in nowhere near the stratosphere of Palantir’s price-to-sales multiples.</p>\n<p>One important point that I don’t want to lose sight of is the fact that we have to use price-to-sales at all; Palantir doesn’t produce meaningful&nbsp;earnings&nbsp;despite its massive revenue base that is growing quickly. As I mentioned, this should get better over time as it produces operating leverage with incremental revenue, but bulls shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that this company has ~$1.5 billion in revenue, 80%+ gross margins, and still cannot turn more than a token profit.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately for the bulls, the pain doesn’t end there.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0952184fd7f34da9efd1af5bc0a29e25\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"282\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>Revisions for Palantir have been weak, to say the least, as you can see above.

When the stock is valued based upon its revenue base, this is a big problem.</p>\n<p>Finally, the last nail in the coffin for me is Palantir’s love of stock-based compensation. Below, we have the company’s share count for the past several quarters, and we must understand the huge jump in the September quarter was from the company going public.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a7d75d7538f02e0e55950df7eee05775\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"40\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>However, even so, we see meaningful moves higher in the share count prior to going public, as well as another ~80M shares issued in the December quarter.

The 304M that are vested represents 17% of the current float, while the full lot of 535M is about 29%. And keep in mind Palantir didn’t get here with one giant options distribution to employees; this is just how it does business.

The company’s lack of meaningful profits is also going to be exacerbated by the fact that it distributes absolutely enormous numbers of options to employees as compensation, so as dilution takes place, there will be willing sellers after the options are exercised, as well as the fact that a lot more shares will be outstanding. As Palantir tries to grow earnings-per-share, having more and more shares outstanding to spread its very thin earnings over is counterproductive, to say the least. In short, Palantir is hurting its own chances at boosting EPS over time through massive dilution.</p>\n<p>Given all of this, I’m not necessarily bearish on Palantir, but I see no reason to buy this stock. If it breaks support at $20/$21 and nosedives into the mid-teens or less, I’ll take another look. But for now, the stock is in a sort of no man’s land between support and resistance, and from a fundamental perspective, the stock is not only very expensive but faces an uphill battle thanks to the company’s compensation practices. I’ll pass on this one.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Palantir Faces An Uphill Battle Of Its Own Making</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\">\nPalantir Faces An Uphill Battle Of Its Own Making\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-29 13:17 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4421908-palantir-faces-uphill-battle-of-own-making><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nPLTR shares are rangebound between support and resistance.\nThe company's products are great, but the valuation is extremely high.\nAnd with massive dilution on the horizon, the uphill battle ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4421908-palantir-faces-uphill-battle-of-own-making\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PLTR":"Palantir Technologies Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4421908-palantir-faces-uphill-battle-of-own-making","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1172604616","content_text":"Summary\n\nPLTR shares are rangebound between support and resistance.\nThe company's products are great, but the valuation is extremely high.\nAnd with massive dilution on the horizon, the uphill battle will only worsen.\n\nPhoto by Michael Vi/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nGrowth stocks have been out of favor with investors for months at this point, with various growth names suffering in differing amounts since they lost their shine. Software stocks were a big winner last year, but have been treading water with the broader market for some time, with winners and losers becoming much clearer as the group has ceded its leadership position in the market.\nOne of those names is Palantir Technologies (PLTR), a stock that went public last year for less than half where it trades today.\nSource: StockCharts\nPalantir had ahugerun about a month after going public, trading about 3X what it went public for just a couple of months earlier. Eventually, Palantir hit $44 (briefly) before selling back down to the low-$20s. The stock has been a bit rangebound since then, but I don’t see a lot of reason to be bullish on the chart.\nFirst, the 50-day moving average has been a brick wall since the stock fell below it a couple of months ago, and I’ve circled three times when Palantir tried to challenge the 50-DMA, only to be rejected. Until that line is crested and begins to move higher, there is no chance of an uptrend.\nThe good news is that there appears to be decent support at $20/$21, which I’ve annotated as well. The bad news is that there appears to be a showdown coming between that support level and the declining 50-DMA; something will have to give after they converge.\nI always take a look at the accumulation/distribution line, and it is very uninspiring in Palantir’s case, declining sharply earlier this year and failing to reclaim any lost ground. The PPO is rising, but ever so slightly, and still in negative territory. If you squint, you may be able to pull something bullish from that, but to me, the PPO is neutral at best.\nThe bottom line on the chart is that there is heavy resistance with the 50-DMA and not a lot to be excited about if you’re bullish, at least not yet. After the 50-DMA and price support collide, maybe Palantir trades higher and starts a new uptrend. But for me, as we’ll see below, I still think Palantir is way overvalued, so I see the odds of a break lower as higher than a bullish break.\nGreat business? Check.\nPalantir was, for many years, a secretive software firm with only a couple thousand employees that seemed to know something others didn’t. Since Palantir was private, investors would hear only whispers of its greatness and how it was solving the world’s data challenges one customer at a time. This secretive nature of its business was only enhanced by the knowledge that most of its revenue was from government clients, supporting the US Army and others to fight the bad guys in more effective ways.\nNow that Palantir is public, we wonder no more about what it is doing, and what it is doing is terrific.\nSource: Investor presentation\nPalantir’s customer book soared in 2020, posting 21 deals of at least $5 million, and growing its existing customers to the point where its top line gained 47% during a global pandemic. The mega-trend of harnessing the power of data has been around for a long time and is only accelerating, so the efficacy of Palantir’s business model is not in question. If anything, it will only become more relevant over time, and we should see more eye-popping revenue growth in the years to come. More on that in a bit.\nSo what makes Palantir so good? Every company wants to use data to their advantage, gaining insights on customer behaviors to drive profitable revenue, optimizing the supply chain, optimizing their labor model, etc. There are many companies that do this, but Palantir somehow always seems to be in front of the rest.\nThe company’s Gotham and Foundry\nIn addition, it provides customers with a virtually instantaneous, completely transparent upgrade cycle with its Apollo platform. Here’s how it works.\nSource: Company website\nApollo allows for continuous software upgrades that power its SaaS platforms, Foundry and Gotham, in the cloud. Apollo automates the updating of customer solutions with the latest features, which is value-add for the customer given there is no disruption to operations to make updates. This focus on the customer value proposition is part of the reason why Palantir has been so successful.\nGrowth? Check.\nPalantir’s business is terrific and its products really are outstanding; it isn’t just hype. And as we’ll see now, the company has big plans.\nSource: Investor presentation\nPalantir has been trying to diversify away from government clients, but the segment still makes up well over half of the total revenue. As I mentioned, government clients tend to offer stickier revenue to vendors given contracts are typically longer, and as Palantir has proven its worth, it has seen usage soar. Indeed, government customers produced 77% higher revenue last year, which is staggering. Palantir has positioned itself as the leader in helping the Department of Defense and others, and that position is paying off. It will be very difficult for anyone to supplant Palantir in this space.\nOne of the knocks against Palantir – rightfully so – is that its revenue is extremely concentrated.\nSource: Investor presentation\nRevenue from the company’s top 20 customers soared 34% last year, and while it fell in terms of concentration, it was still 61% of the total. That is a tremendous amount of customer concentration risk for Palantir, and while it is working to get that number lower, I can’t think of another business of meaningful size that has this kind of concentration risk.\nThe good news is that margins are outstanding, as you’d expect for a software business.\nSource: Investor presentation\nNot only are margins outstanding, they’re getting better. Gross margin is now in excess of 80% of revenue, and that number should only rise as more and more customers are signed. Since software has very little in the way of variable costs, delivering more of it costs Palantir very little, meaning incremental revenue is increasingly profitable. That’s why gross margin is soaring, and why it should continue to rise. Keep in mind that at 81% for the year, there isn’t a huge amount of upside left, but I expect Palantir’s margins to continue rising in the years to come.\nValuation? Uh oh.\nHopefully, I’ve made it clear I really do think Palantir’s business is exceptional, marking itself apart from a very crowded cloud-based data analysis sector. However, for all that goodness, I simply cannot make the valuation work for the bulls.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nThe stock is about half what it was at its peak a few months ago, and still, it trades for 30X this year’s revenue. Of course, that number declines pretty quickly into next year and 2023, but we’re still talking about 23X and 18X, respectively. That kind of multiple is difficult to swallow given that valuations in the sector have come down, and in nowhere near the stratosphere of Palantir’s price-to-sales multiples.\nOne important point that I don’t want to lose sight of is the fact that we have to use price-to-sales at all; Palantir doesn’t produce meaningful earnings despite its massive revenue base that is growing quickly. As I mentioned, this should get better over time as it produces operating leverage with incremental revenue, but bulls shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that this company has ~$1.5 billion in revenue, 80%+ gross margins, and still cannot turn more than a token profit.\nUnfortunately for the bulls, the pain doesn’t end there.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nRevisions for Palantir have been weak, to say the least, as you can see above. The nearest years have seen essentially no revisions, as the lines are very flat. The out years, however, in green, purple, and yellow, are moving decidedly lower. I won’t read the chart to you but basically, it appears the overly bullish revisions that were made during 2020 have been largely reversed, and have shown no signs of stabilizing. When the stock is valued based upon its revenue base, this is a big problem.\nFinally, the last nail in the coffin for me is Palantir’s love of stock-based compensation. Below, we have the company’s share count for the past several quarters, and we must understand the huge jump in the September quarter was from the company going public.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nHowever, even so, we see meaningful moves higher in the share count prior to going public, as well as another ~80M shares issued in the December quarter. But that’s not the only dilution Palantir is likely to see in the years to come.\nSource: 10-K (page 143)\nPalantir had535Moptions outstanding at the end of 2020, with 304M of them vested and exercisable as of December 31st. The 304M that are vested represents 17% of the current float, while the full lot of 535M is about 29%.

This was primarily driven by geographic expansion into rural areas of China and an increase in the order size per customer.</p><p>Cognizant of the geopolitical risks, we believe that Alibaba is a good speculative growth investment given the combination of low valuation, high growth and high risk. Alibaba has a tight grip on the domestic Chinese market, with 903 million active retail customers annually. Moreover, with the growing demand for cloud solutions and domestic logistics, Alibaba still has room to expand its market domestically and internationally. Should they capitalize on this, they could become a global powerhouse across e-commerce and logistics operations.</p><p>EFV= E2023 EPS times P/E (Price / Earnings Ratio)</p><p>EFV = $7.00 X 16.0 = $112.00</p><h3><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2072d1c6e6a2af82aa18979e87368719\" tg-width=\"636\" tg-height=\"147\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Domestic and International Commerce</h3><p>COVID-19 restrictions in China are ongoing and incredibly strict. This has caused stagnant domestic revenue year over year and a decrease in customer engagement by 7%. However, consumer services including mapping and integrated commerce (Amap/Koubei), travel (Fliggy), and food delivery (Ele.me), had much stronger growth, with 21% year-over-year revenue growth. This was primarily driven by stricter lockdowns which caused much higher average order value per customer.</p><p>In FY22, Alibaba had 903 million active annual retail customers (AACs) across its various businesses. Alibaba had 98% retention of customers who spent at least $1,500 USD in FY21. These high-spending customers represent about 15% of AACs. With the addition of a more robust logistics network with Cainiao discussed below, 70% of new active annual customers were from less developed areas of China. More than 50% of Taocaicai, a direct-from-producer grocery and consumer staples provider were first-time buyers. Taobao, a hybrid of Etsy and eBay, had a 100% year-over-year increase in orders.</p><p>Cainiao is a primarily domestic, but expanding international, logistics and supply chain firm that offers delivery solutions. Year over year it had an increase of 36% in revenue (26%, excluding internal Alibaba transfers), equally driven by lockdowns forcing more domestic businesses to use e-commerce and virtual fulfillment solutions. International expansion has been ongoing. On average, 4.5 million parcels per day were moved internationally through the 9 parcel hubs globally. This figure is down approximately 500,000 from FY21, likely driven by a portion of the international air cargo fleet being Russian-registered and operated.</p><p>International e-commerce saw a 3% year-over-year increase in orders. Trendyol primarily drove this, a Turkish platform, 90% owned by Alibaba. In international wholesale markets, Alibaba had a 6% year-over-year increase in orders. In FY22, this amounted to 305 million annual active customers.</p><h3><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/affb544001bfbd48ea9102faf53551d3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Alibaba Cloud and Digital Media</h3><p>Alibaba cloud operates as an infrastructure as a service (IaaS)/software as a service (SaaS) hybrid business, providing private and public cloud services to businesses. While this has seen some softening of demand, it still had a 4% year-over-year growth. In addition, while globally AWS and Azure still dominate, Chinese firms expressed a 70% preference for Chinese-owned providers.</p><p>Chinese internet infrastructure for companies is still largely dominated by traditional internal server architecture, with the SaaS market remaining tiny at just $5.2 billion. For reference, the US market for SaaS is over $120 billion. The total addressable market for cloud service providers is expected to grow to $30 to $70 billion by 2025 with public cloud accounting for 45% of this addressable market, and 55% being private cloud.</p><p>Alibaba operates a growing digital media operation, encompassing production operation Alibaba Pictures and video streaming service Youku. Combined these segments saw a 4% revenue growth.</p><h3>Final Thoughts</h3><p>In FY22, Alibaba reached the long-term strategic goal to serve 1 billion consumers in China and raised its goal to facilitate RMB10 trillion of annual consumption in China ($1.4 Trillion USD). In FY22 it facilitated RMB8 trillion ($1.3 Trillion USD). While geopolitical risk is always something to keep in mind, Alibaba is a dominant force in domestic Chinese retail and logistics.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3ec9432966ea3f24e114ffda4706168f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"364\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Alibaba still has room to expand its market domestically and internationally, especially within the logistics and cloud spaces.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

This was primarily driven by geographic expansion into rural areas of China and an increase in the order size per customer.Cognizant of the geopolitical risks, we believe that Alibaba is a good speculative growth investment given the combination of low valuation, high growth and high risk. Alibaba has a tight grip on the domestic Chinese market, with 903 million active retail customers annually. Moreover, with the growing demand for cloud solutions and domestic logistics, Alibaba still has room to expand its market domestically and internationally. Should they capitalize on this, they could become a global powerhouse across e-commerce and logistics operations.EFV= E2023 EPS times P/E (Price / Earnings Ratio)EFV = $7.00 X 16.0 = $112.00Domestic and International CommerceCOVID-19 restrictions in China are ongoing and incredibly strict. This has caused stagnant domestic revenue year over year and a decrease in customer engagement by 7%. However, consumer services including mapping and integrated commerce (Amap/Koubei), travel (Fliggy), and food delivery (Ele.me), had much stronger growth, with 21% year-over-year revenue growth. This was primarily driven by stricter lockdowns which caused much higher average order value per customer.In FY22, Alibaba had 903 million active annual retail customers (AACs) across its various businesses. Alibaba had 98% retention of customers who spent at least $1,500 USD in FY21. These high-spending customers represent about 15% of AACs. With the addition of a more robust logistics network with Cainiao discussed below, 70% of new active annual customers were from less developed areas of China. More than 50% of Taocaicai, a direct-from-producer grocery and consumer staples provider were first-time buyers. Taobao, a hybrid of Etsy and eBay, had a 100% year-over-year increase in orders.Cainiao is a primarily domestic, but expanding international, logistics and supply chain firm that offers delivery solutions. Year over year it had an increase of 36% in revenue (26%, excluding internal Alibaba transfers), equally driven by lockdowns forcing more domestic businesses to use e-commerce and virtual fulfillment solutions. International expansion has been ongoing. On average, 4.5 million parcels per day were moved internationally through the 9 parcel hubs globally. This figure is down approximately 500,000 from FY21, likely driven by a portion of the international air cargo fleet being Russian-registered and operated.International e-commerce saw a 3% year-over-year increase in orders. Trendyol primarily drove this, a Turkish platform, 90% owned by Alibaba. In international wholesale markets, Alibaba had a 6% year-over-year increase in orders. In FY22, this amounted to 305 million annual active customers.Alibaba Cloud and Digital MediaAlibaba cloud operates as an infrastructure as a service (IaaS)/software as a service (SaaS) hybrid business, providing private and public cloud services to businesses. While this has seen some softening of demand, it still had a 4% year-over-year growth. In addition, while globally AWS and Azure still dominate, Chinese firms expressed a 70% preference for Chinese-owned providers.Chinese internet infrastructure for companies is still largely dominated by traditional internal server architecture, with the SaaS market remaining tiny at just $5.2 billion. For reference, the US market for SaaS is over $120 billion. The total addressable market for cloud service providers is expected to grow to $30 to $70 billion by 2025 with public cloud accounting for 45% of this addressable market, and 55% being private cloud.Alibaba operates a growing digital media operation, encompassing production operation Alibaba Pictures and video streaming service Youku. Combined these segments saw a 4% revenue growth.Final ThoughtsIn FY22, Alibaba reached the long-term strategic goal to serve 1 billion consumers in China and raised its goal to facilitate RMB10 trillion of annual consumption in China ($1.4 Trillion USD). In FY22 it facilitated RMB8 trillion ($1.3 Trillion USD). While geopolitical risk is always something to keep in mind, Alibaba is a dominant force in domestic Chinese retail and logistics.Alibaba still has room to expand its market domestically and internationally, especially within the logistics and cloud spaces.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":463,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":377801446,"gmtCreate":1619511534685,"gmtModify":1704725156976,"author":{"id":"3562361215333748","authorId":"3562361215333748","name":"tionglim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d488f4ff48c280ec624f30e1178e347d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562361215333748","authorIdStr":"3562361215333748"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment ??","listText":"Like and comment ??","text":"Like and comment ??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/377801446","repostId":"1174343251","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1174343251","pubTimestamp":1619510167,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1174343251?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-27 15:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Ocugen, Zomedica, Naked Brand, and Other Reddit Stocks Soared Monday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1174343251","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The bulls are on parade.\nWhat happened\nInvestors on Reddit and other social media sites appeared to ","content":"<p>The bulls are on parade.</p>\n<p><b>What happened</b></p>\n<p>Investors on Reddit and other social media sites appeared to ignite a trading frenzy in multiple stocks Monday.</p>\n<p>Here's how some of the most popular Reddit stocks fared today:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Naked Brand Group</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:NAKD), up 29%</li>\n <li><b>Bionano Genomics</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:BNGO), up 24%</li>\n <li><b>Ocugen</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:OCGN), up 20%</li>\n <li><b>Zomedica</b>&nbsp;(NYSEMKT:ZOM), up 20%</li>\n <li><b>Castor Maritime</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:CTRM), up 11%</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>So what</b></p>\n<p>Investors&nbsp;have reason to be optimistic about all five of these companies.</p>\n<p>Ocugen's partnership with Bharat Biotech gives it a 45% share of any potential profits that the India-based drug developer's promising COVID-19 vaccine candidate, Covaxin, earns in the U.S. Bionano Genomics' Saphyr genome mapping system could give doctors the ability to develop better treatment options for a wide array of diseases.

The macro headwinds continue to be a headache, and it seems that there is more uncertainty lying ahead for Garena Free Fire. The key forward is to focus on launching new games, with games such asPrimitive EraandBlack Clover Mobilelaunching recently. While this indicates that management is working hard to reaccelerate Garena’s growth, it is important to recognize that the success of games is not guaranteed, and this is the bigger uncertainty for the business. As a result, this caused its adjusted EBITDA margin to further decline to 32.5% during the quarter.</p><p>Additionally, management states that the expiry of the agreement with Riot Games will have no impact on Garena’s publishing business, and Garena is seeking other top-game developers for their publishing business.</p><p>Shopee<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/79b7f33be279fa015f52addd35b55d96\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>SE 10-Q<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6aaff49a0ba8c901eadda2b7cf01a391\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>SE 10-Q</p><p>Shopee’s GMV grew 14% Y/Y and the number of orders grew 18% Y/Y, a continuous decline in the past couple of quarters. This is a result of management pulling back on its sales and marketing (“S&amp;M”) expenses, exiting multiple markets, cutting costs aggressively (such as hiring), and lastly, the lower consumer discretionary spending. This is in contrast to Lazada (NYSE: BABA), as the number oforders declined Y/Yand they are also prioritizing profitability through increased monetization.</p><p>While this does show that consumers continue to spend on Shopee in SEA, its GMV and number of orders are partially contributed by Shopee Brazil. In a tough macro environment, Shopee experienced a 36% Y/Y growth in the number of brands on the platform, indicating that Shopee is an increasingly important partner in growing its online revenue.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7e09e1e030c482f41afaf8695896f9ec\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>SE 10-Q</p><p>The more important portion is Shopee’s improvement in profitability. Its overall adjusted EBITDA loss per order continues to improve by 23.5% sequentially, and more specifically, Shopee Brazil’s loss per order improved by 27.5% sequentially during the quarter as compared to 6.6% in the last quarter. Moreover, Shopee is expected to attain profitability by FY23 instead of FY25 as previously guided by the management. This goes to show that the management has made great strides in pursuing profitability, which is impressive in my view. Once it attained self-sufficiency, growth can reaccelerate, although, the management is expecting flat or negative growth in certain metrics in the near term.</p><h3>SeaBank</h3><p><i>Note that I will be using “SeaBank” and “SeaMoney” interchangeably.</i></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0f0cb77d6ac22f50a1208eaf075db51c\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>SE 10-Q</p><p>SeaMoney’s loan receivables grew 46% from 4Q21 and 110% from 3Q21 to $2.2 billion. These are loans provided to customers whereby SeaMoney generates revenue by charging interest rates, and it has been growing quickly. In myprevious article, I showed that in Sep 2022, SeaBank Indonesia grew its loans and customer deposits by 111% Y/Y and 147% Y/Y, respectively, and the launch of ShopeePay in Brazil. During the earnings call, management stated that the credit business is profitable and cash flow positive, and it will be focusing on growing this business in Southeast Asia (“SEA”) and Brazil.</p><p>Additionally, they have also said to diversify their source of funding for the credit business, which I believe is to seek third-party financing partners to reduce the capital required for the business and at the same time, reduce credit risk. Similar to Bank Jago (IDX: ARTO), SeaBank may utilize the data of its partners to help improve the non-performing loans and scale its lending. Readers who are unaware of SeaBank’s business model can head to mydeep diveinto the company.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2de194897c03f180f99a0dd2b75bf2d0\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>SE 10-Q</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5932cc09aca0134084217800afb30399\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>SE 10-Q</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6205c82c79c753720862ed8385dd0e2a\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"742\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>SE 10-Q</p><p>As a result of its growing deposits and loan books, its Q3 2022 revenue grew 147% Y/Y, and it has been increasingly making up a bigger portion of its overall revenue at 10.4% this quarter. Management had also been deliberate in cutting down on S&amp;M expenses and combined with its acceleration revenue growth, its adjusted EBITDA margin has improved massively to -20.7% during the quarter. This is compared to -40% in 2Q22 and -120.3% a year ago.</p><h3>Sufficient Cash Reserves To Pay off Convertible Notes<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4ff585449530fce4084e7d1447e077b4\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"798\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></h3><p>SE 10-Q</p><p>One of the biggest concerns about Sea Limited for investors is the cash burn rate, as they fear that the company does not have enough sufficient cash reserves to pay off convertible notes maturing in 2026. However, not only did the cash outflow slow in Q3 2022, but the management has also hinted that there are sufficient cash reserves to pay off the convertible notes:</p><blockquote>“We aim to continue to maintain a net cash position, after budgeting for the full retirement in cash of outstanding convertible bonds and assuming no external funding.”</blockquote><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Overall, this was a pretty decent quarter for Sea Limited, as we could see that they had made huge improvements on the road to profitability, particularly for Shopee. While that comes at a growth trade-off, management has indicated that Shopee can reaccelerate its growth after attaining profitability in FY23, which is pulled forward from FY25 as guided previously.</p><p>Garena&#39;s results continue to be a concern as macro seems to have a longer-than-expected impact on its user base and its profitability as a result has been trending downwards over the past couple of quarters. Management has been working hard on its gaming pipelines, although the uncertainty lies in the successes of these new games and whether they could reaccelerate their growth in the future.</p><p>SeaBank has been growing its top line really quickly and huge improvements were made on the bottom line as well. Furthermore, the overall credit business is profitable and is generating positive cash flow, and has been increasingly making up a larger proportion of its total revenue. I continue to believe that this can be a potential growth driver for Sea Limited.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Sea Limited: Profitability May Be Around The Corner</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\">\nSea Limited: Profitability May Be Around The Corner\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-19 09:52 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4559176-sea-limited-profitability-may-be-around-the-corner><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryFurther uncertainty for Sea Limited's Garena as its QAU did not stabilize as expected.

However, not only did the cash outflow slow in Q3 2022, but the management has also hinted that there are sufficient cash reserves to pay off the convertible notes:“We aim to continue to maintain a net cash position, after budgeting for the full retirement in cash of outstanding convertible bonds and assuming no external funding.”ConclusionOverall, this was a pretty decent quarter for Sea Limited, as we could see that they had made huge improvements on the road to profitability, particularly for Shopee. While that comes at a growth trade-off, management has indicated that Shopee can reaccelerate its growth after attaining profitability in FY23, which is pulled forward from FY25 as guided previously.Garena's results continue to be a concern as macro seems to have a longer-than-expected impact on its user base and its profitability as a result has been trending downwards over the past couple of quarters. Management has been working hard on its gaming pipelines, although the uncertainty lies in the successes of these new games and whether they could reaccelerate their growth in the future.SeaBank has been growing its top line really quickly and huge improvements were made on the bottom line as well. Furthermore, the overall credit business is profitable and is generating positive cash flow, and has been increasingly making up a larger proportion of its total revenue. I continue to believe that this can be a potential growth driver for Sea Limited.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":656,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9969399335,"gmtCreate":1668342548727,"gmtModify":1676538043280,"author":{"id":"3562361215333748","authorId":"3562361215333748","name":"tionglim","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d488f4ff48c280ec624f30e1178e347d","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3562361215333748","authorIdStr":"3562361215333748"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

Software stocks were a big winner last year, but have been treading water with the broader market for some time, with winners and losers becoming much clearer as the group has ceded its leadership position in the market.</p>\n<p>One of those names is&nbsp;<b>Palantir Technologies</b>&nbsp;(PLTR), a stock that went public last year for less than half where it trades today.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6a9b1d2e752e326c58ab4ff3e570c8c0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"533\"><span>Source: StockCharts</span></p>\n<p>Palantir had a<i>huge</i>run about a month after going public, trading about 3X what it went public for just a couple of months earlier. Eventually, Palantir hit $44 (briefly) before selling back down to the low-$20s. The stock has been a bit rangebound since then, but I don’t see a lot of reason to be bullish on the chart.</p>\n<p>First, the 50-day moving average has been a brick wall since the stock fell below it a couple of months ago, and I’ve circled three times when Palantir tried to challenge the 50-DMA, only to be rejected. Until that line is crested and begins to move higher, there is no chance of an uptrend.</p>\n<p>The good news is that there appears to be decent support at $20/$21, which I’ve annotated as well. The bad news is that there appears to be a showdown coming between that support level and the declining 50-DMA; something will have to give after they converge.</p>\n<p>I always take a look at the accumulation/distribution line, and it is very uninspiring in Palantir’s case, declining sharply earlier this year and failing to reclaim any lost ground. The PPO is rising, but ever so slightly, and still in negative territory. If you squint, you may be able to pull something bullish from that, but to me, the PPO is neutral at best.</p>\n<p>The bottom line on the chart is that there is heavy resistance with the 50-DMA and not a lot to be excited about if you’re bullish, at least not yet. After the 50-DMA and price support collide, maybe Palantir trades higher and starts a new uptrend. But for me, as we’ll see below, I still think Palantir is way overvalued, so I see the odds of a break lower as higher than a bullish break.</p>\n<p><b>Great business? Check.</b></p>\n<p>Palantir was, for many years, a secretive software firm with only a couple thousand employees that seemed to know something others didn’t. Since Palantir was private, investors would hear only whispers of its greatness and how it was solving the world’s data challenges one customer at a time. This secretive nature of its business was only enhanced by the knowledge that most of its revenue was from government clients, supporting the US Army and others to fight the bad guys in more effective ways.</p>\n<p>Now that Palantir is public, we wonder no more about what it is doing, and what it is doing is terrific.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e56e8cad3d65fb642ecbc33fcb14df66\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"361\"><span>Source: Investor presentation</span></p>\n<p>Palantir’s customer book soared in 2020, posting 21 deals of at least $5 million, and growing its existing customers to the point where its top line gained 47% during a global pandemic. The mega-trend of harnessing the power of data has been around for a long time and is only accelerating, so the efficacy of Palantir’s business model is not in question. If anything, it will only become more relevant over time, and we should see more eye-popping revenue growth in the years to come. More on that in a bit.</p>\n<p>So what makes Palantir so good? Every company wants to use data to their advantage, gaining insights on customer behaviors to drive profitable revenue, optimizing the supply chain, optimizing their labor model, etc. There are many companies that do this, but Palantir somehow always seems to be in front of the rest.</p>\n<p><b>The company’s&nbsp;Gotham&nbsp;and&nbsp;Foundry</b></p>\n<p>In addition, it provides customers with a virtually instantaneous, completely transparent upgrade cycle with its Apollo platform. Here’s how it works.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a2121224ce69233cd63c0338cc98dc78\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"427\"><span>Source: Company website</span></p>\n<p>Apollo allows for continuous software upgrades that power its SaaS platforms, Foundry and Gotham, in the cloud. Apollo automates the updating of customer solutions with the latest features, which is value-add for the customer given there is no disruption to operations to make updates. This focus on the customer value proposition is part of the reason why Palantir has been so successful.</p>\n<p><b>Growth? Check.</b></p>\n<p>Palantir’s business is terrific and its products really are outstanding; it isn’t just hype. And as we’ll see now, the company has big plans.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/969cfb2c5c16598726010283937ae7f5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"359\"><span>Source: Investor presentation</span></p>\n<p>Palantir has been trying to diversify away from government clients, but the segment still makes up well over half of the total revenue. As I mentioned, government clients tend to offer stickier revenue to vendors given contracts are typically longer, and as Palantir has proven its worth, it has seen usage soar. Indeed, government customers produced 77% higher revenue last year, which is staggering. Palantir has positioned itself as the leader in helping the Department of Defense and others, and that position is paying off. It will be very difficult for anyone to supplant Palantir in this space.</p>\n<p>One of the knocks against Palantir – rightfully so – is that its revenue is extremely concentrated.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/930ed99d0c01154448e50b1629d6e9f6\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"351\"><span>Source: Investor presentation</span></p>\n<p>Revenue from the company’s top 20 customers soared 34% last year, and while it fell in terms of concentration, it was still 61% of the total. That is a tremendous amount of customer concentration risk for Palantir, and while it is working to get that number lower, I can’t think of another business of meaningful size that has this kind of concentration risk.</p>\n<p>The good news is that margins are outstanding, as you’d expect for a software business.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/edd0e011deeb434d9acf7a5b8347a250\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"352\"><span>Source: Investor presentation</span></p>\n<p>Not only are margins outstanding, they’re getting better. Gross margin is now in excess of 80% of revenue, and that number should only rise as more and more customers are signed. Since software has very little in the way of variable costs, delivering more of it costs Palantir very little, meaning incremental revenue is increasingly profitable. That’s why gross margin is soaring, and why it should continue to rise. Keep in mind that at 81% for the year, there isn’t a huge amount of upside left, but I expect Palantir’s margins to continue rising in the years to come.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation? Uh oh.</b></p>\n<p>Hopefully, I’ve made it clear I really do think Palantir’s business is exceptional, marking itself apart from a very crowded cloud-based data analysis sector. However, for all that goodness, I simply cannot make the valuation work for the bulls.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86fad8a0fdf4d22754e231bbdc23d9dd\" tg-width=\"532\" tg-height=\"158\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>The stock is about half what it was at its peak a few months ago, and still, it trades for 30X this year’s revenue. Of course, that number declines pretty quickly into next year and 2023, but we’re still talking about 23X and 18X, respectively.

And keep in mind Palantir didn’t get here with one giant options distribution to employees; this is just how it does business.

Software stocks were a big winner last year, but have been treading water with the broader market for some time, with winners and losers becoming much clearer as the group has ceded its leadership position in the market.\nOne of those names is Palantir Technologies (PLTR), a stock that went public last year for less than half where it trades today.\nSource: StockCharts\nPalantir had ahugerun about a month after going public, trading about 3X what it went public for just a couple of months earlier. Eventually, Palantir hit $44 (briefly) before selling back down to the low-$20s. The stock has been a bit rangebound since then, but I don’t see a lot of reason to be bullish on the chart.\nFirst, the 50-day moving average has been a brick wall since the stock fell below it a couple of months ago, and I’ve circled three times when Palantir tried to challenge the 50-DMA, only to be rejected. Until that line is crested and begins to move higher, there is no chance of an uptrend.\nThe good news is that there appears to be decent support at $20/$21, which I’ve annotated as well. The bad news is that there appears to be a showdown coming between that support level and the declining 50-DMA; something will have to give after they converge.\nI always take a look at the accumulation/distribution line, and it is very uninspiring in Palantir’s case, declining sharply earlier this year and failing to reclaim any lost ground. The PPO is rising, but ever so slightly, and still in negative territory. If you squint, you may be able to pull something bullish from that, but to me, the PPO is neutral at best.\nThe bottom line on the chart is that there is heavy resistance with the 50-DMA and not a lot to be excited about if you’re bullish, at least not yet. After the 50-DMA and price support collide, maybe Palantir trades higher and starts a new uptrend. But for me, as we’ll see below, I still think Palantir is way overvalued, so I see the odds of a break lower as higher than a bullish break.\nGreat business? Check.\nPalantir was, for many years, a secretive software firm with only a couple thousand employees that seemed to know something others didn’t. Since Palantir was private, investors would hear only whispers of its greatness and how it was solving the world’s data challenges one customer at a time. This secretive nature of its business was only enhanced by the knowledge that most of its revenue was from government clients, supporting the US Army and others to fight the bad guys in more effective ways.\nNow that Palantir is public, we wonder no more about what it is doing, and what it is doing is terrific.\nSource: Investor presentation\nPalantir’s customer book soared in 2020, posting 21 deals of at least $5 million, and growing its existing customers to the point where its top line gained 47% during a global pandemic. The mega-trend of harnessing the power of data has been around for a long time and is only accelerating, so the efficacy of Palantir’s business model is not in question. If anything, it will only become more relevant over time, and we should see more eye-popping revenue growth in the years to come. More on that in a bit.\nSo what makes Palantir so good? Every company wants to use data to their advantage, gaining insights on customer behaviors to drive profitable revenue, optimizing the supply chain, optimizing their labor model, etc. There are many companies that do this, but Palantir somehow always seems to be in front of the rest.\nThe company’s Gotham and Foundry\nIn addition, it provides customers with a virtually instantaneous, completely transparent upgrade cycle with its Apollo platform. Here’s how it works.\nSource: Company website\nApollo allows for continuous software upgrades that power its SaaS platforms, Foundry and Gotham, in the cloud. Apollo automates the updating of customer solutions with the latest features, which is value-add for the customer given there is no disruption to operations to make updates. This focus on the customer value proposition is part of the reason why Palantir has been so successful.\nGrowth? Check.\nPalantir’s business is terrific and its products really are outstanding; it isn’t just hype. And as we’ll see now, the company has big plans.\nSource: Investor presentation\nPalantir has been trying to diversify away from government clients, but the segment still makes up well over half of the total revenue. As I mentioned, government clients tend to offer stickier revenue to vendors given contracts are typically longer, and as Palantir has proven its worth, it has seen usage soar. Indeed, government customers produced 77% higher revenue last year, which is staggering. Palantir has positioned itself as the leader in helping the Department of Defense and others, and that position is paying off. It will be very difficult for anyone to supplant Palantir in this space.\nOne of the knocks against Palantir – rightfully so – is that its revenue is extremely concentrated.\nSource: Investor presentation\nRevenue from the company’s top 20 customers soared 34% last year, and while it fell in terms of concentration, it was still 61% of the total. That is a tremendous amount of customer concentration risk for Palantir, and while it is working to get that number lower, I can’t think of another business of meaningful size that has this kind of concentration risk.\nThe good news is that margins are outstanding, as you’d expect for a software business.\nSource: Investor presentation\nNot only are margins outstanding, they’re getting better. Gross margin is now in excess of 80% of revenue, and that number should only rise as more and more customers are signed. Since software has very little in the way of variable costs, delivering more of it costs Palantir very little, meaning incremental revenue is increasingly profitable. That’s why gross margin is soaring, and why it should continue to rise. Keep in mind that at 81% for the year, there isn’t a huge amount of upside left, but I expect Palantir’s margins to continue rising in the years to come.\nValuation? Uh oh.\nHopefully, I’ve made it clear I really do think Palantir’s business is exceptional, marking itself apart from a very crowded cloud-based data analysis sector. However, for all that goodness, I simply cannot make the valuation work for the bulls.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nThe stock is about half what it was at its peak a few months ago, and still, it trades for 30X this year’s revenue. Of course, that number declines pretty quickly into next year and 2023, but we’re still talking about 23X and 18X, respectively. That kind of multiple is difficult to swallow given that valuations in the sector have come down, and in nowhere near the stratosphere of Palantir’s price-to-sales multiples.\nOne important point that I don’t want to lose sight of is the fact that we have to use price-to-sales at all; Palantir doesn’t produce meaningful earnings despite its massive revenue base that is growing quickly. As I mentioned, this should get better over time as it produces operating leverage with incremental revenue, but bulls shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that this company has ~$1.5 billion in revenue, 80%+ gross margins, and still cannot turn more than a token profit.\nUnfortunately for the bulls, the pain doesn’t end there.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nRevisions for Palantir have been weak, to say the least, as you can see above. The nearest years have seen essentially no revisions, as the lines are very flat. The out years, however, in green, purple, and yellow, are moving decidedly lower. I won’t read the chart to you but basically, it appears the overly bullish revisions that were made during 2020 have been largely reversed, and have shown no signs of stabilizing. When the stock is valued based upon its revenue base, this is a big problem.\nFinally, the last nail in the coffin for me is Palantir’s love of stock-based compensation. Below, we have the company’s share count for the past several quarters, and we must understand the huge jump in the September quarter was from the company going public.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nHowever, even so, we see meaningful moves higher in the share count prior to going public, as well as another ~80M shares issued in the December quarter. But that’s not the only dilution Palantir is likely to see in the years to come.\nSource: 10-K (page 143)\nPalantir had535Moptions outstanding at the end of 2020, with 304M of them vested and exercisable as of December 31st. The 304M that are vested represents 17% of the current float, while the full lot of 535M is about 29%.

(&#34;Next Bridge&#34;) in accordance with the Distribution Agreement between META and Next Bridge. Upon completion of the distribution, Next Bridge will be an independent public reporting company, but the Next Bridge common stock is not and will not be publicly traded and will not be eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company book-entry system or any other established clearing corporation.</p><p>Subject to certain conditions, including, among others, completion of all necessary actions and filings with regard to applicable state securities or &#34;blue sky&#34; laws and final FINRA approval, for which there can be no assurances that such approval will be given, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock as of 4 p.m. ET on December 12, 2022, (the record date for the distribution), will be entitled to receive one share of Next Bridge common stock for every one share of Series A Preferred Stock held as of the record date. The shares of Next Bridge common stock will be distributed on December 14, 2022 after the close of the trading markets, at which time (i) all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be automatically cancelled, (ii) the holders of such Series A Preferred Stock will cease to have any rights with respect to such shares and (iii) the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, MMTLP, will no longer be tradable on the OTC market.</p><p>Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are not required to take any action in connection with the distribution and are not required to make payment or surrender/exchange their shares of Series A Preferred Stock in order to receive shares of Next Bridge common stock. The shares of Next Bridge common stock will be issued to the accounts of each holder of Series A Preferred Stock as follows:</p><ul><li><i><b><u>Registered stockholders</u></b></i>. If the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are owned directly through META&#39;s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer &amp; Trust Company LLC (&#34;AST&#34;), such holder is a registered stockholder.

Registration in book-entry form refers to a method of recording share ownership where no physical stock certificates are issued to stockholders, as is the case in the distribution. Registered stockholders will be able to access information regarding their book-entry account holding Next Bridge common stock at the transfer agent. Commencing on or shortly after the distribution date, the transfer agent will mail an account statement to each registered stockholder that indicates the number of whole shares of Next Bridge common stock that have been registered in book-entry form in their name.</li><li><i><b><u>&#34;Street name&#34; or beneficial stockholders</u></b></i>.

If a holder owns shares of the Series A Preferred Stock through a bank, broker or other nominee, the bank, broker or other nominee will credit the holder&#39;s account with the whole shares of Next Bridge common stock received in the distribution on or shortly after the distribution date; however, shares of Next Bridge common stock will not be eligible for electronic trading through DTC or any other established clearing corporation. Therefore, META encourages these holders to contact their bank, broker or other nominee to instruct such bank, broker or other nominee to transfer the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to META&#39;s transfer agent on or prior to the record date such that each such holder of Series A Preferred Stock is then the registered holder of the distributed shares of Next Bridge common stock in book-entry form in a new account with META&#39;s transfer agent.</li></ul><p>Holders of Series A Preferred Stock who sell their shares on or before the record date will not be entitled to receive the shares of Next Bridge common stock in the distribution in respect of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock sold.

(the \"Company\" or \"META®\") (NASDAQ:MMAT, FSE:MMAT), a developer of high-performance functional materials and nanocomposites, today announced that its board of directors has approved the distribution to the holders of META's Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock (\"Series A Preferred Stock\" which is currently traded over-the-counter, or OTC, under the symbol MMTLP) of 100% of the common stock of META's wholly owned subsidiary, Next Bridge Hydrocarbons, Inc. (\"Next Bridge\") in accordance with the Distribution Agreement between META and Next Bridge. Upon completion of the distribution, Next Bridge will be an independent public reporting company, but the Next Bridge common stock is not and will not be publicly traded and will not be eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company book-entry system or any other established clearing corporation.Subject to certain conditions, including, among others, completion of all necessary actions and filings with regard to applicable state securities or \"blue sky\" laws and final FINRA approval, for which there can be no assurances that such approval will be given, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock as of 4 p.m. ET on December 12, 2022, (the record date for the distribution), will be entitled to receive one share of Next Bridge common stock for every one share of Series A Preferred Stock held as of the record date. The shares of Next Bridge common stock will be distributed on December 14, 2022 after the close of the trading markets, at which time (i) all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be automatically cancelled, (ii) the holders of such Series A Preferred Stock will cease to have any rights with respect to such shares and (iii) the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, MMTLP, will no longer be tradable on the OTC market.Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are not required to take any action in connection with the distribution and are not required to make payment or surrender/exchange their shares of Series A Preferred Stock in order to receive shares of Next Bridge common stock. The shares of Next Bridge common stock will be issued to the accounts of each holder of Series A Preferred Stock as follows:Registered stockholders. If the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are owned directly through META's transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC (\"AST\"), such holder is a registered stockholder. In this case, the distribution agent, which is also AST, will credit the whole number of shares of Next Bridge common stock to be received in the distribution by such record stockholder by directly registering such shares in book-entry form in a new AST account in the name of such record stockholder. Registration in book-entry form refers to a method of recording share ownership where no physical stock certificates are issued to stockholders, as is the case in the distribution. Registered stockholders will be able to access information regarding their book-entry account holding Next Bridge common stock at the transfer agent. Commencing on or shortly after the distribution date, the transfer agent will mail an account statement to each registered stockholder that indicates the number of whole shares of Next Bridge common stock that have been registered in book-entry form in their name.\"Street name\" or beneficial stockholders. Most META stockholders own their shares of Series A Preferred Stock beneficially through a bank, broker or other nominee. In these cases, the bank, broker or other nominee holds the shares in \"street name\" and records such ownership on its books. If a holder owns shares of the Series A Preferred Stock through a bank, broker or other nominee, the bank, broker or other nominee will credit the holder's account with the whole shares of Next Bridge common stock received in the distribution on or shortly after the distribution date; however, shares of Next Bridge common stock will not be eligible for electronic trading through DTC or any other established clearing corporation. Therefore, META encourages these holders to contact their bank, broker or other nominee to instruct such bank, broker or other nominee to transfer the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to META's transfer agent on or prior to the record date such that each such holder of Series A Preferred Stock is then the registered holder of the distributed shares of Next Bridge common stock in book-entry form in a new account with META's transfer agent.Holders of Series A Preferred Stock who sell their shares on or before the record date will not be entitled to receive the shares of Next Bridge common stock in the distribution in respect of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock sold. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock who sell their shares after the record date but before the distribution date will be required to transfer the shares of Next Bridge common stock received in the distribution to the subsequent purchaser of Series A Preferred Stock.A registration statement on Form S-1 relating to the shares subject to the distribution has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and became effective on November 18, 2022. The registration statement and any subsequent filings (including the final prospectus) will be available for free on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal, state and local or foreign tax consequences, as applicable, of the distribution of Next Bridge common stock. For additional information regarding the distribution, the tax impacts, and the manner in which holders of Series A Preferred Stock may receive shares of Next Bridge common stock, please refer to the registration statement and any subsequent filings (including the final prospectus) filed with the SEC relating to the registration statement.This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.AdvisorsWilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati is serving as legal advisor to META, and O'Melveny & Myers LLP is serving as legal advisor to Next Bridge in connection with the distribution.About Meta Materials Inc.META® delivers previously unachievable performance, across a range of applications, by inventing, designing, developing, and manufacturing sustainable, high-performance, functional materials.
