Many companies faced adversity throughout the pandemic, and some are still recovering, but not BABA. Through the worst economic environment for businesses to navigate in recent times, BABA generated over $100 billion in revenue and $20 billion in net income during their recent fiscal year. While BABA didn't get the memo about businesses facing challenges amidst the pandemic, the market must not have read BABA's earnings report or crunched the numbers.</p>\n<p>There are two Chinese companies I am bullish on, and BABA is my biggest conviction for appreciation. BABA smashed through the $300 share price level at the end of October 2020, but shareholders have been left confused and disappointed since then. It looked like BABA would turn the corner after a horrible end to 2020 as shares appreciated from $222.36 from the close of 2020 to $270.83 in the middle of February 2021. Still, the markets had other plans, and all shares of BABA have done is disappoint shareholders. If you missed the BABA train, it's time to grab your tickets and climb aboard, and if you purchased BABA during its run to $300 or early 2021 rebound, it might be time to add to your holdings. BABA is going to experience tremendous tailwinds from China's population and economic growth over the next several years, and their printing press is going to need more ink.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86da7b532f25f563d08490ddc43cbede\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"337\"><span>(Source: Alibaba)</span></p>\n<p><b>The Alibaba printing press is open for business, and it spits out billions</b></p>\n<p>How many companies can say their annual revenue through the pandemic exceeded $100 billion? The $100 billion revenue mark is a prestigious club that companies such as&nbsp;Facebook (FB),PepsiCo (PEP),Procter &amp; Gamble (PG),Target (TGT), and&nbsp;Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ)&nbsp;are not part of. BABA, on the other hand, witnessed its revenue increase by 52.11% and smash through $100 billion as they generated $109.47 billion in their recent fiscal year. For the year ending March 2019, BABA's revenue increased by $16.25 billion (40.74%) to $56.15 billion, then for the March 2020 fiscal year, revenue increased another $15.82 billion (28.17%) to $71.97 billion. BABA is in the same boat as Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG)(GOOGL), FB, and Amazon (AMZN) as they watched the pandemic push more people to go digital which accelerated their businesses. For BABA, the forced transition to digital helped them achieve $37.5 billion (52.11%) in additional revenue as they finished their March 2021 fiscal year with $109.47 billion in revenue.</p>\n<p>Since 2013 BABA has not had a year where their annual revenue increase didn't exceed 25% Year over Year (YoY). When you think about that as a growth rate, it's remarkable for a company of BABA's size as this isn't a company chasing its first billion-dollar revenue year. Over the past 5 fiscal years, BABA's annual revenue has increased by $93.8 billion (408.08%) at an average annual rate of 48.25%. Smaller companies considered growth companies would be jealous of these rates, while many large caps are probably envious.</p>\n<p>BABA isn't a one-trick pony that can only generate tens of billions in revenue. BABA can convert right down to the bottom line. Each year BABA has increased its YoY gross profit by a minimum of 10% since 2013. In 2016 BABA generated $10.35 billion in gross profit and, over the next 5 fiscal years, increased its annual gross profit by $34.84 billion (336.68%). BABA has also never fallen below a 40% gross profit margin, Warren Buffett's magic number, as he indicates in<i>Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements. On page 34 of the Kindle edition,it says:</i></p>\n<blockquote>\n As a very general rule (and there are exceptions): Companies with gross profit margins of 40% or better tend to be companies with some sort of durable competitive advantage. Companies with gross profit margins below 40% tend to be companies in highly competitive industries, where competition is hurting overall profit margins (there are exceptions here, too).\n</blockquote>\n<p>The gross profit margin is important for investors to evaluate because it reveals how much of a company's revenue goes directly to producing it and if they have a moat around their business. BABA's numbers indicate they have a sufficient moat around their business that is hard to penetrate. With close to a decade of generating over 40% in gross profit margins, investors can expect that BABA's moat will protect its business operations for years to come.</p>\n<p>Moving to the bottom line BABA does a great job at generating profits. In their most recent fiscal year, BABA generated $22.98 billion in net income, converting more than 1/5th (20.99%) of their revenue to pure profits. Since 2013 BABA has only had 1 year where net income decreases YoY. With that track record, many options open up for BABA in the future as their cash stockpile continues to increase.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/41a5e036f023fa4ced7666e06aa1de6b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"444\"><span>(Source: Alibaba)</span></p>\n<p><b>Alibaba will continue to experience tailwinds as China's population and economy expands</b></p>\n<p>Alibaba&nbsp;achieved one billion annual active consumers globally in the fiscal year that ended in March 2021. BABA has 891 million consumers across China's retail marketplace, local consumer services and digital media and entertainment platforms, and approximately 240 million consumers outside China. BABA's annual active consumers in the China retail marketplaces were 811 million as it grew by 85 million YoY. BABA will focus on developing a digital commerce infrastructure that offers an upgraded consumer experience by seamlessly integrating online and offline. Through BABA's infrastructure, countless retailers have digitally transformed their businesses and created multiple retail formats that have enabled new consumption experiences by leveraging consumer insights and technology. BABA's ecosystem, supply chain, and diversified fulfillment services have facilitated an immense digital transformation. By investing in its infrastructure, BABA's customers can now leverage a full range of high-frequency fulfillment services that include on-demand delivery, same-or-next day delivery, and next-day pick-up services for a full range of consumable and physical products.</p>\n<p>BABA will continue to be one of the cornerstones that supports growth within China's economy, which is benefiting from the acceleration of digitalization in all aspects of life and work. China is projected to be the world's largest economy by 2028. The per-capita income in China is expected to grow by roughly 50% from 2020 to 2025.China's average economic growth&nbsp;has been projected to increase at a rate of 5.7% from 2021 to 2025, then slow to 4.5% from 2026 to 2030. As a result,China&nbsp;is on track to join the top 1/3rd of nations and overtake 56 countries in the per capita income rankings by 2025. By the end of 2022, McKinsey&nbsp;predicts&nbsp;that the middle class could expand to 550 million people which is larger than the entire U.S population.</p>\n<p>If the projections for China are correct, this should mean a windfall of cash lining BABA's coffers. It's a simple recipe; when people make more money, they tend to spend more money to enhance their lives and increase their standard of living. As BABA is a dominant force in China's retail sector, they stand to benefit from a growing economy and a larger middle class. At the end of next year, if China has anywhere close to 550 million individuals in the middle class, I believe BABA's revenue and profits will increase significantly. This trend can provide tailwinds throughout the decade for BABA, and eventually, the market will reward shareholders based on BABA's value proposition.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bbde4a092d19118a2d16daabf5c027d7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"463\"><span>(Source: Blomberg)</span></p>\n<p><b>Alibaba has tremendous growth prospects in Cloud as China continues its digitization</b></p>\n<p>Cloud computing has been red hot in the U.S. as the transition from on-prem to cloud has increased the technological capabilities for many organizations. As digitization progresses across the business landscape, cloud providers continue to increase revenue generated from their cloud segments within their overall revenue mix. For example, AWS, the cloud computing division from&nbsp;AMZN, generated $45.37 billion in 2020. Cloud continues to be an exciting sector because the digital transformation is far from being over. Hence, the prospects of new customers are enormous while reoccurring revenue is generated after the transition occurs.</p>\n<p>In China, cloud infrastructure services are still in the early innings as the entire spend was around $15 billion in 2020. In Q1 of 2021, cloud infrastructure services in&nbsp;China&nbsp;grew by 55% YoY as it reached $6 billion. China was the 2nd largest market behind the U.S, accounting for 14% of global investment, up from 12% in Q1 of 2020. With cloud spending and digitization in China increasing, this serves as a major runway for growth in Alibaba Cloud.</p>\n<p>As China's economy expands, businesses will need to become more efficient to support both operations and customer demands. Chinese companies will need to implement infrastructure that can support a digital age of the workforce while supporting cloud services used by consumers for consumption. If China passes the U.S. as the world's largest economy in the second half of this decade, the amount of growth needed in cloud services will be immense. BABA is already the leader in cloud infrastructure services in China as their 39.8% market share accounted for $2.39 billion of the $6 billion spent in Q1 2021. Over the previous 6 quarters, cloud infrastructure spending has increased by roughly $2.3 billion (76.67%) in China. Based on cloud's current trajectory, quarterly revenue is on track to double over the next 2 years, putting Q1 2023 revenue at $10.6 billion. If BABA has a 35% market share, their Q1 2023 would be $3.71 billion, placing their 2023 revenue for cloud at $14.84 billion without factoring in any growth in 2023. From a cloud aspect, China's future spending is very exciting, and BABA will be one of the major benefactors.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1759b81ce463d503a165d901e2e50d7c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"728\"><span>(Source: Canalys)</span></p>\n<p><b>Alibaba has stellar financial metrics and is undervalued compared to the U.S. tech conglomerates</b></p>\n<p>For this comparison, I am going to use AMZN and GOOGL as they have been establishing their dominance in the U.S. for more than a decade. First, here are the raw numbers for AMZN, BABA, and GOOGL:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>AMZN</li>\n <li>BABA</li>\n <li>GOOGL</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The market currently places a multiple of 17.03x on AMZN's equity compared to its market cap, while its revenue multiple is 4.2x. GOOGL has a multiple of 7.17x on its equity and 8.39x on its revenue compared to market cap. AMZN and GOOGL's market caps exceed $1.5 trillion, while BABA's sits at $575.57 billion. The market is placing a 3.5x multiple on BABA's equity and 5.26x on its revenue compared to the market cap. Thus, the market is severely discounting BABA's equity and revenue generation. BABA's equity is worth 28.58% of its market cap, while AMZN's equity is equivalent to 5.87%, and GOOGL's is 13.94% of its market cap. The current discount placed on BABA's equity could create an additional tailwind for shareholders in the future.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>It's hard to dismiss the growth opportunities some companies in China are presenting, especially after the recent decline in share prices. However, I believe shares of BABA are currently undervalued based on their current financial metrics and growth rates. China's economy and the amount of capital allocated to cloud service infrastructure are expected to grow substantially over the years. These will create powerful tailwinds for BABA throughout this decade. As a result, I think shareholders have been allowed to establish a BABA or dollar cost average position at a discounted price. I plan on continuing to add shares to my position while the market is discounting BABA.</p>","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>Alibaba: Can BABA Get Back To $300?

Many companies faced adversity throughout the pandemic, and some are still recovering, but not BABA. Through the worst economic environment for businesses to navigate in recent times, BABA generated over $100 billion in revenue and $20 billion in net income during their recent fiscal year. While BABA didn't get the memo about businesses facing challenges amidst the pandemic, the market must not have read BABA's earnings report or crunched the numbers.\nThere are two Chinese companies I am bullish on, and BABA is my biggest conviction for appreciation. BABA smashed through the $300 share price level at the end of October 2020, but shareholders have been left confused and disappointed since then. It looked like BABA would turn the corner after a horrible end to 2020 as shares appreciated from $222.36 from the close of 2020 to $270.83 in the middle of February 2021. Still, the markets had other plans, and all shares of BABA have done is disappoint shareholders. If you missed the BABA train, it's time to grab your tickets and climb aboard, and if you purchased BABA during its run to $300 or early 2021 rebound, it might be time to add to your holdings. BABA is going to experience tremendous tailwinds from China's population and economic growth over the next several years, and their printing press is going to need more ink.\n(Source: Alibaba)\nThe Alibaba printing press is open for business, and it spits out billions\nHow many companies can say their annual revenue through the pandemic exceeded $100 billion? The $100 billion revenue mark is a prestigious club that companies such as Facebook (FB),PepsiCo (PEP),Procter & Gamble (PG),Target (TGT), and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) are not part of. BABA, on the other hand, witnessed its revenue increase by 52.11% and smash through $100 billion as they generated $109.47 billion in their recent fiscal year. For the year ending March 2019, BABA's revenue increased by $16.25 billion (40.74%) to $56.15 billion, then for the March 2020 fiscal year, revenue increased another $15.82 billion (28.17%) to $71.97 billion. BABA is in the same boat as Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG)(GOOGL), FB, and Amazon (AMZN) as they watched the pandemic push more people to go digital which accelerated their businesses. For BABA, the forced transition to digital helped them achieve $37.5 billion (52.11%) in additional revenue as they finished their March 2021 fiscal year with $109.47 billion in revenue.\nSince 2013 BABA has not had a year where their annual revenue increase didn't exceed 25% Year over Year (YoY). When you think about that as a growth rate, it's remarkable for a company of BABA's size as this isn't a company chasing its first billion-dollar revenue year. Over the past 5 fiscal years, BABA's annual revenue has increased by $93.8 billion (408.08%) at an average annual rate of 48.25%. Smaller companies considered growth companies would be jealous of these rates, while many large caps are probably envious.\nBABA isn't a one-trick pony that can only generate tens of billions in revenue. BABA can convert right down to the bottom line. Each year BABA has increased its YoY gross profit by a minimum of 10% since 2013. In 2016 BABA generated $10.35 billion in gross profit and, over the next 5 fiscal years, increased its annual gross profit by $34.84 billion (336.68%). BABA has also never fallen below a 40% gross profit margin, Warren Buffett's magic number, as he indicates inWarren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements. On page 34 of the Kindle edition,it says:\n\n As a very general rule (and there are exceptions): Companies with gross profit margins of 40% or better tend to be companies with some sort of durable competitive advantage. Companies with gross profit margins below 40% tend to be companies in highly competitive industries, where competition is hurting overall profit margins (there are exceptions here, too).\n\nThe gross profit margin is important for investors to evaluate because it reveals how much of a company's revenue goes directly to producing it and if they have a moat around their business. BABA's numbers indicate they have a sufficient moat around their business that is hard to penetrate. With close to a decade of generating over 40% in gross profit margins, investors can expect that BABA's moat will protect its business operations for years to come.\nMoving to the bottom line BABA does a great job at generating profits. In their most recent fiscal year, BABA generated $22.98 billion in net income, converting more than 1/5th (20.99%) of their revenue to pure profits. Since 2013 BABA has only had 1 year where net income decreases YoY. With that track record, many options open up for BABA in the future as their cash stockpile continues to increase.\n(Source: Alibaba)\nAlibaba will continue to experience tailwinds as China's population and economy expands\nAlibaba achieved one billion annual active consumers globally in the fiscal year that ended in March 2021. BABA has 891 million consumers across China's retail marketplace, local consumer services and digital media and entertainment platforms, and approximately 240 million consumers outside China. BABA's annual active consumers in the China retail marketplaces were 811 million as it grew by 85 million YoY. BABA will focus on developing a digital commerce infrastructure that offers an upgraded consumer experience by seamlessly integrating online and offline. Through BABA's infrastructure, countless retailers have digitally transformed their businesses and created multiple retail formats that have enabled new consumption experiences by leveraging consumer insights and technology. BABA's ecosystem, supply chain, and diversified fulfillment services have facilitated an immense digital transformation. By investing in its infrastructure, BABA's customers can now leverage a full range of high-frequency fulfillment services that include on-demand delivery, same-or-next day delivery, and next-day pick-up services for a full range of consumable and physical products.\nBABA will continue to be one of the cornerstones that supports growth within China's economy, which is benefiting from the acceleration of digitalization in all aspects of life and work. China is projected to be the world's largest economy by 2028. The per-capita income in China is expected to grow by roughly 50% from 2020 to 2025.China's average economic growth has been projected to increase at a rate of 5.7% from 2021 to 2025, then slow to 4.5% from 2026 to 2030. As a result,China is on track to join the top 1/3rd of nations and overtake 56 countries in the per capita income rankings by 2025. By the end of 2022, McKinsey predicts that the middle class could expand to 550 million people which is larger than the entire U.S population.\nIf the projections for China are correct, this should mean a windfall of cash lining BABA's coffers. It's a simple recipe; when people make more money, they tend to spend more money to enhance their lives and increase their standard of living. As BABA is a dominant force in China's retail sector, they stand to benefit from a growing economy and a larger middle class. At the end of next year, if China has anywhere close to 550 million individuals in the middle class, I believe BABA's revenue and profits will increase significantly. This trend can provide tailwinds throughout the decade for BABA, and eventually, the market will reward shareholders based on BABA's value proposition.\n(Source: Blomberg)\nAlibaba has tremendous growth prospects in Cloud as China continues its digitization\nCloud computing has been red hot in the U.S. as the transition from on-prem to cloud has increased the technological capabilities for many organizations.

While careful not to derail the recovery - with no end in sight for supportive policy measures such as bond-buying - the rate-rise signal highlighted concerns about inflation.\n\"I think there was a scenario that people had in mind, that the Fed was going to allow for a larger and longer inflation overshoot, and I think with the increase in the dot plot yesterday... people are rethinking that scenario,\" said David Lefkowitz, head of equities for the Americas at UBS Global Wealth Management.\nTechnology shares, which generally perform better when interest rates are low, powered a rally on Wall Street last year as investors flocked to stocks seen as relatively safe during times of economic turmoil.\nInvestors returned to such positions on Thursday. Chipmaker Nvidia Corp jumped 4.8%, posting its fourth consecutive record close, after Jefferies raised its price target on the stock.\nMeanwhile, shares of Apple Inc, Microsoft Corp, Amazon.com Inc and Facebook Inc shook off premarket declines to advance between 1.3% and 2.2% as investors bet that a steady economic rebound would boost demand for their products in the long run.\nThe Nasdaq ended 13 points short of its record finish on Monday, but it was still the index's second-highest close ever.\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 210.22 points, or 0.62%, to 33,823.45, the S&P 500 lost 1.84 points, or 0.04%, to 4,221.86 and the Nasdaq Composite added 121.67 points, or 0.87%, to 14,161.35.\nInterest rate-sensitive bank stocks slumped 4.3% as longer-dated U.S. Treasury yields dropped.\nThe strengthening dollar, another by-product of the previous day's Fed news, pushed U.S. oil prices down from the multi-year high hit earlier in the week. The energy index, in turn, was off 3.5%, the biggest laggard among the 11 main S&P sectors.\nOther economically sensitive stocks, including materials and industrials, fell 2.2% and 1.6% respectively as data showed jobless claims rising last week for the first time in more than a month. Still, layoffs appeared to be easing amid a reopening economy and a shortage of people willing to work.\nVolume on U.S. exchanges was 11.77 billion shares, compared with the 10.67 billion average over the last 20 trading days.\nThe S&P 500 posted 23 new 52-week highs and 2 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 82 new highs and 37 new lows.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":358,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":168906094,"gmtCreate":1623945929218,"gmtModify":1703824369457,"author":{"id":"3563073994012433","authorId":"3563073994012433","name":"samsjxregit","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563073994012433","authorIdStr":"3563073994012433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/168906094","repostId":"1108846547","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1108846547","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623943021,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1108846547?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-17 23:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Bankers Just Complicated El Salvador’s Bitcoin Plan","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1108846547","media":"investorplace","summary":"The price ofBitcoin(CCC:BTC-USD) slipped to below $39,000 on Thursday after the World Bank refused E","content":"<p>The price of<b>Bitcoin</b>(CCC:<b><u>BTC-USD</u></b>) slipped to below $39,000 on Thursday after the World Bank refused El Salvador’s request to help with the implementation of the cryptocurrency as a legal tender.

Its expanded lineup has secured design wins with key customers such as Xiaomi (OTCPK:XIACF), Samsung (OTC:SSNLF), and Oppo. MediaTek is also gaining popularity in developing markets where it has edged out Qualcomm for market leadership in markets including China, LATAM, EMEA, and India. However, we highlighted Qualcomm’s performance advantage leading to superior profitability with higher margins. Fundamentally, both SoCs consist of ARM-based CPU but Qualcomm uses a 5nm process technology for its latest and most advanced Snapdragon 888 powering the premium-tier smartphones.</p>\n<p>Besides the smartphone market, Qualcomm is also setting its sights to expand into the automotive market where it is planning to leverage its CPU and GPU expertise to extend the Snapdragon capabilities to handle ADAS and self-driving technologies and competing against Nvidia(NASDAQ:NVDA)and Intel’s(NASDAQ:INTC)Mobileye, whereas MediaTek maintains a more focused approach on the smartphone markets which faces the threat of stagnation owing to high smartphone ownership rates. Finally, we compared the company’s financials and applied a DCF analysis to value both companies.</p>\n<p><b>MediaTek Stealing Qualcomm’s Crown by Supplying Chinese Smartphone Manufacturers</b></p>\n<p>In 2020, MediaTek overtook Qualcomm to be the largest smartphone application processor supplier. While both companies remain as leaders of the global smartphone application processor market, MediaTek has displayed rapid growth whereas Qualcomm’s market share leadership has eroded since 2018. This trend is attributed to several factors including growing orders from key smartphone OEMs, the Huawei ban, and the company’s expanded 5G portfolio with the Dimensity 800 series targeted towards low to mid-tier devices. Based on the market share chart below, MediaTek has been gaining market share while Qualcomm’s market leadership has eroded. Though, the impact on Qualcomm has been cushioned by Samsung’s decision to outsource rather than using its unpopular&nbsp;Exynos&nbsp;chip among fans.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c3b3de8666b0c748b1ba6d7c64374cd7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"><span>Source:Counterpoint Research</span></p>\n<p>Both companies supply to Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo. These are key customers for Samsung,representing&nbsp;more than 10% of revenues each according to its annual report. On the other hand, MediaTek does not disclose its revenue contribution figures from customers. However, MediaTek has witnessed tremendous growth from Xiaomi and Samsung as it secured design wins to supply these companies with its newly launched 5G smartphone chipsets as well as trade tension pressures leading Chinese chipmakers to diversify their supply chain from the US-based Qualcomm. Additionally, Qualcomm was reported to have faced supply chain issues due to the production&nbsp;shutdown&nbsp;of Samsung’s Austin fab in Q1 2021, which manufactures some of Qualcomm’s chips. In terms of shipments, Xiaomi was the company’s biggest customer and reportedly shipped 223% more smartphones with the company’s chips as compared to 2019. Oppo was MediaTek’s second-biggest customer in 2020, shipping 19% more chips than 2019. Samsung also saw demand for MediaTek smartphones grow by over 250% in 2020 over 2019 while demand for Qualcomm declined by 53% based on estimates derived from its market shares.</p>\n<table>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p><b>Top Customers</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>Qualcomm 2020 Shipments ('mln)</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>Growth (%)</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>MediaTek 2020 Shipments ('mln')</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>Growth (%)</b></p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Xiaomi</p></td>\n   <td><p>82.9</p></td>\n   <td><p>-21%</p></td>\n   <td><p>63.7</p></td>\n   <td><p>223%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Oppo</p></td>\n   <td><p>56.5</p></td>\n   <td><p>-23%</p></td>\n   <td><p>55.3</p></td>\n   <td><p>19%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Samsung</p></td>\n   <td><p>22.7</p></td>\n   <td><p>-53%</p></td>\n   <td><p>43.3</p></td>\n   <td><p>255%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p><i>Source:GSM Arena,SamMobile,Xiaomi,Counterpoint Research</i></p>\n<p>The exposure that MediaTek has obtained from its relationship with Chinese smartphone manufacturers, Xiaomi and Oppo, has been highly beneficial as these companies are cannibalizing Huawei’s sales which have felt the impact of the trade embargo by the US.

This has also enabled MediaTek to secure large parts of the developing markets including China, LATAM, MEA, and India which account for over 60% of the smartphone market. These factors are attributable to MediaTek’s rising share in the past 3 years and edging out Qualcomm’s market leadership.</p>\n<p><b>Qualcomm Still Maintains Superior Technology with Greater Profitability</b></p>\n<p>Although MediaTek has claimed market leadership over Qualcomm, another aspect that contrasts both companies are in terms of performance. Historically, Qualcomm has maintained an edge over MediaTek in terms of application processor&nbsp;performance. However, both companies utilize the same ARM-based processors. Qualcomm derives its performance advantage from its process technology at the premium tier and the Adreno GPU&nbsp;component&nbsp;of its SoC which is more customized than MediaTek.</p>\n<p>To compare the performance of the companies’ chipsets, we referred to benchmarks from Centurion Mark, which is a well-regarded benchmark used to analyze the performance of each series of application processors. Centurion Mark is&nbsp;determined&nbsp;by testing the processors on over 20 different parameters. Some of these parameters such as User Experience and Raw CPU Performance have a significant impact on the score while there are some minor parameters as well that make a little difference (For example, Dual VoLTE Support). These are the 5 major factors that influence Centurion Mark: User Experience, Real-World Performance, Raw CPU Performance, Raw GPU Performance, Features and Technologies Present. The graphs below show the centurion mark for both Qualcomm and MediaTek chips. Based on the centurion mark, Qualcomm appears to have better performing chipsets with a higher score.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd0a178f080cf09e36e490ae449474d8\" tg-width=\"568\" tg-height=\"562\"></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0443c6cb35170d9e3fac3453232a7ca0\" tg-width=\"567\" tg-height=\"506\"><span>Source: Tech Centurion</span></p>\n<p>For the premium tier, the Snapdragon 888 is Qualcomm’s latest and most advanced chipset which is compared to MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000 series. The Snapdragon 888 has a Centurion Mark score of 156 which is higher than Dimensity 1000 at up to 150 only. Specification wise, both chips have the same number of ARM Cortex cores but the fundamentaldifferencesbetween these chipsets are the process technology used to manufacture them. Qualcomm uses a 5nm process by Samsung while MediaTek uses 6nm for the Dimensity chip leading to better CPU performance and battery life from more efficient power consumption. Additionally, Qualcomm’s Adreno GPUs are semi-customed by Qualcomm while MediaTek uses a standard ARM Mali GPU which also explains the better GPU performance for Qualcomm.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a22e12404ab1ff32846a8b255243dd5d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"277\"><span>Source:NanoReview</span></p>\n<p>The reason this performance advantage for Qualcomm is significant is because of the superior profitability it commands. In terms of pricing, Qualcomm’s average chip price is $51.70 which is significantly higher than MediaTek’s average chip price of $32.55. We calculated this price by dividing the revenue by the total shipments of 2020.</p>\n<table>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p><b>Company</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>Revenue ($ mln)</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>Shipments ('mln')</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>Average Chipset Price ($)</b></p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Qualcomm</p></td>\n   <td><p>16,493</p></td>\n   <td><p>319</p></td>\n   <td><p>$51.70</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>MediaTek</p></td>\n   <td><p>11,457</p></td>\n   <td><p>352</p></td>\n   <td><p>$32.55</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p><i>Source: Qualcomm, MediaTek,Omdia</i></p>\n<p>This higher pricing power of Qualcomm improves its margins as the company has about 60% gross margins. In comparison, MediaTek’s gross margins are only about 42%. This difference shows that although MediaTek has more shipments and is currently the market leader, Qualcomm is the more profitable company.</p>\n<table>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p><b>Company</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>Gross Margins (%)</b></p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Qualcomm</p></td>\n   <td><p>60.67%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>MediaTek</p></td>\n   <td><p>41.85%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p><i>Source: Qualcomm, MediaTek</i></p>\n<p>That said, the performance advantage is likely less to price sensitive consumers in the lower-tier market which is why MediaTek is still gaining market share. Additionally, MediaTek is also believed to be beefing up its Dimensity series with the help of TSMC touseits 5nm process technology which may close the performance gap with Qualcomm in future lineups. However, Qualcomm is still the superior company in terms of performance and commands higher profitability. Moreover, the high-end smartphone market share is expected to remain stable as seen in the chart below.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d38124fca0411397058ef95c3bd86e82\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"353\"><span>Source:Statista</span></p>\n<p><b>Expansion Opportunities Beyond Smartphones with Automotive SoCs</b></p>\n<p>Apart from emerging markets, the ownership rate of smartphones is already at a mature rate in more developed countries. In 2020, the global smartphonepenetration rateis estimated to be around 78%. This presents a long-term risk to both companies which depend heavily on the smartphone application processor market.

In 2021, the company and General Motors(NYSE:GM)announced an agreement for the Qualcomm Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms to power digital cockpits and next-generation telematics systems. Moreover, the company is seeking to expand into the ADAS and AV chip market, leveraging its CPU and GPU capabilities and competing against Nvidia’s DRIVE and Intel’s Mobileye. The company intends to scale its Snapdragon automotive processor for ADAS and self-driving vehicles promising performances of up to 700 TOPs. Management claims that its Snapdragon Ride ADAS system could be&nbsp;launched&nbsp;by 2022. In relation, the company is&nbsp;partnering&nbsp;with Veoneer (VNE), a previous partner of Nvidia, which provides ADAS and AV solutions including its Arriver software which the companies plan to integrate with the Snapdragon Ride Platform. In terms of design wins, Mobileye and Nvidia have secured a greater network of automakers compared to Qualcomm. The company is believed to have landed&nbsp;GM&nbsp;as a major customer to implement its ADAS.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/46454ca65fd58bb6d2cb7cade4c6ff80\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"370\"><span>Source:Forbes</span></p>\n<p>According to Navigant Research, the research firm ranks Nvidia and Intel Mobileye ahead of Qualcomm in the automotive self-driving compute platform but still a leader in this area. Overall, Qualcomm has set its sights in the automotive market in contrast to MediaTek which remains focused on the smartphone market. This means that Qualcomm is in a better position to reap the benefits of the rising global automotive chip market size which is&nbsp;forecasted&nbsp;to reach $56.24 bln by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 10.7%, driven by rising ADAS applications.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/caaee72690ad5a003eaca38e87582254\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"526\"><span>Source:Navigant Research</span></p>\n<p><b>Trade Tensions Risk Impacting the Smartphone Application Processor Market</b></p>\n<p>Comparing both companies’ revenue breakdown by region, both Qualcomm and MediaTek derive a significant portion of their revenues from the Asia Pacific region with Qualcomm making 59% of revenue from China.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df35cbb1079862cef39b51c87aeb6b2f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"><span>Source: Qualcomm, MediaTek</span></p>\n<p>We believe the greatest risk for Qualcomm is the escalating trade tensions between the US and China. In 2020, the company was&nbsp;barred&nbsp;from doing business with Huawei like other US companies until it was later modified to allow older generation 4G chips to be supplied to Huawei. This may have provided some relief for Qualcomm but the restriction on 5G technology remaining in place affects both Qualcomm and Huawei negatively. Though, the wider implication of rising dispute between the two largest economies may impact Qualcomm. This is the case where other Chinese smartphone manufacturers may be diversifying their supply chain benefitting MediaTek to prevent the threat of trade embargoes against them in the future. If trade tensions continue to escalate between the countries’ governments, Qualcomm stands to lose as it is heavily reliant on the Chinese market. Additionally, this could lead to a shift that may see MediaTek benefit from orders redirected from Qualcomm to it by Chinese manufacturers.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation</b></p>\n<p>The 5-year average revenue growth of Qualcomm is -1.3%.

This is also significant as Chinese smartphone manufacturers are cannibalizing Huawei’s market positioning. This has also enabled it to gain ground in developing markets where smartphone ownership rates are still low compared to more developed regions. Despite that, we believe Qualcomm still edges out over MediaTek as it has superior profitability and maintains a performance advantage over MediaTek. Qualcomm’s focus on R&amp;D and strong relationship with foundries solidified the Snapdragon 888’s performance advantage to cater to the premium tier and leading to higher margins than MediaTek. Additionally, Qualcomm is building on its efforts to leverage the Snapdragon platform across adjacent markets, especially in automotive where it is developing an auto compute platform with ADAS and AV capabilities, while MediaTek remains focused on the smartphone market. Overall, we rate Qualcomm as a Buy with a target price of $168.93 and MediaTek as a Hold with a target price of TWD1,021.</p>","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>Qualcomm Vs.

In terms of market share, both companies are dominant players, accounting for over 50% of the smartphone application processor market combined. Qualcomm has its renowned Snapdragon series of chipsets while MediaTek has the featured Helios and expanded Dimensity lineup. However, MediaTek has been more successful with its lineup, securing design wins with major smartphone manufacturers leading to it gaining share at the expense of Qualcomm.\nSource: Qualcomm, MediaTek\nMediaTek’s market share gains have been impressive and are attributed to its cost-effective Dimensity series, which the company has introduced with 5G compatibility. Its expanded lineup has secured design wins with key customers such as Xiaomi (OTCPK:XIACF), Samsung (OTC:SSNLF), and Oppo. MediaTek is also gaining popularity in developing markets where it has edged out Qualcomm for market leadership in markets including China, LATAM, EMEA, and India. However, we highlighted Qualcomm’s performance advantage leading to superior profitability with higher margins. Fundamentally, both SoCs consist of ARM-based CPU but Qualcomm uses a 5nm process technology for its latest and most advanced Snapdragon 888 powering the premium-tier smartphones.\nBesides the smartphone market, Qualcomm is also setting its sights to expand into the automotive market where it is planning to leverage its CPU and GPU expertise to extend the Snapdragon capabilities to handle ADAS and self-driving technologies and competing against Nvidia(NASDAQ:NVDA)and Intel’s(NASDAQ:INTC)Mobileye, whereas MediaTek maintains a more focused approach on the smartphone markets which faces the threat of stagnation owing to high smartphone ownership rates. Finally, we compared the company’s financials and applied a DCF analysis to value both companies.\nMediaTek Stealing Qualcomm’s Crown by Supplying Chinese Smartphone Manufacturers\nIn 2020, MediaTek overtook Qualcomm to be the largest smartphone application processor supplier. While both companies remain as leaders of the global smartphone application processor market, MediaTek has displayed rapid growth whereas Qualcomm’s market share leadership has eroded since 2018. This trend is attributed to several factors including growing orders from key smartphone OEMs, the Huawei ban, and the company’s expanded 5G portfolio with the Dimensity 800 series targeted towards low to mid-tier devices. Based on the market share chart below, MediaTek has been gaining market share while Qualcomm’s market leadership has eroded. Though, the impact on Qualcomm has been cushioned by Samsung’s decision to outsource rather than using its unpopular Exynos chip among fans.\nSource:Counterpoint Research\nBoth companies supply to Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo. These are key customers for Samsung,representing more than 10% of revenues each according to its annual report. On the other hand, MediaTek does not disclose its revenue contribution figures from customers. However, MediaTek has witnessed tremendous growth from Xiaomi and Samsung as it secured design wins to supply these companies with its newly launched 5G smartphone chipsets as well as trade tension pressures leading Chinese chipmakers to diversify their supply chain from the US-based Qualcomm. Additionally, Qualcomm was reported to have faced supply chain issues due to the production shutdown of Samsung’s Austin fab in Q1 2021, which manufactures some of Qualcomm’s chips. In terms of shipments, Xiaomi was the company’s biggest customer and reportedly shipped 223% more smartphones with the company’s chips as compared to 2019. Oppo was MediaTek’s second-biggest customer in 2020, shipping 19% more chips than 2019. Samsung also saw demand for MediaTek smartphones grow by over 250% in 2020 over 2019 while demand for Qualcomm declined by 53% based on estimates derived from its market shares.\n\n\n\nTop Customers\nQualcomm 2020 Shipments ('mln)\nGrowth (%)\nMediaTek 2020 Shipments ('mln')\nGrowth (%)\n\n\nXiaomi\n82.9\n-21%\n63.7\n223%\n\n\nOppo\n56.5\n-23%\n55.3\n19%\n\n\nSamsung\n22.7\n-53%\n43.3\n255%\n\n\n\nSource:GSM Arena,SamMobile,Xiaomi,Counterpoint Research\nThe exposure that MediaTek has obtained from its relationship with Chinese smartphone manufacturers, Xiaomi and Oppo, has been highly beneficial as these companies are cannibalizing Huawei’s sales which have felt the impact of the trade embargo by the US. As shown in the chart below, Chinese smartphone competitors have gained market share at the expense of Huawei.\nSource:Counterpoint Research\nBesides winning Chinese smartphone manufacturers, another factor that is attributable to the rise in MediaTek is in developing countries where its affordable chipsets are seeing rising adoption. This is evident in the largest smartphone market in the world,China, accounting for 26.6% of global smartphone shipments. Here, MediaTek’s market share among China’s 5G smartphones has risen rapidly in 2020 with the expansion of its 5G lineup and design wins by Chinese smartphone manufacturers. At the end of Q4 2020, it has attained a market share of 40.4% which is ahead of Qualcomm at 20.1%.\nSource:IDC\nBesides China, other developing regions are seeing rising adoption of MediaTek’s application processors. This includes LATAM, MEA, and India, where MediaTek has become the largest supplier of smartphone chipsets ahead of Qualcomm with its affordable 5G lineup. Also, the chart highlights Samsung’s Exynos chip decreasing market share as it outsources instead.\nMarket Share Growth by Region\nSource:Counterpoint Research\nMoreover, the developing countries make up some of the largest smartphone markets globally with China, India, Indonesia, and Brazil being among the top 5 markets. These growth markets are only about 60% penetrated in terms of smartphone ownership. India has the lowest penetration at only 31.8%, which shows a significant opportunity for high potential for growth in the country. In 2020, the global smartphone market wasvaluedat $714.96 bln and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 11.2%.\nWorldwide Smartphone Sales by Region ('mln')\n\n\n\nRegion\n2020\n2021F\nGrowth (%)\n\n\nEastern Europe\n43\n49\n14.91%\n\n\nEmerging Asia/Pacific\n337\n366\n8.61%\n\n\nEurasia\n43\n47\n8.71%\n\n\nGreater China\n368\n410\n11.40%\n\n\nLatin America\n116\n134\n15.52%\n\n\nMature Asia/Pacific\n26\n30\n15.76%\n\n\nMiddle East and North Africa\n71\n79\n10.68%\n\n\nNorth America\n136\n152\n11.37%\n\n\nSub-Saharan Africa\n84\n94\n11.67%\n\n\nWestern Europe\n125\n143\n13.85%\n\n\nJapan\n27\n30\n10.90%\n\n\nGrand Total\n1,379\n1,535\n11.36%\n\n\n\nSource:Gartner, Khaveen Investments\nOverall, MediaTek has been able to deepen its relationship with Chinese smartphone manufacturers by securing new design wins with its expanded 5G Dimensity lineup while Qualcomm, which has had an early advantage, is starting to feel the pinch from MediaTek. This has also enabled MediaTek to secure large parts of the developing markets including China, LATAM, MEA, and India which account for over 60% of the smartphone market. These factors are attributable to MediaTek’s rising share in the past 3 years and edging out Qualcomm’s market leadership.\nQualcomm Still Maintains Superior Technology with Greater Profitability\nAlthough MediaTek has claimed market leadership over Qualcomm, another aspect that contrasts both companies are in terms of performance. Historically, Qualcomm has maintained an edge over MediaTek in terms of application processor performance. However, both companies utilize the same ARM-based processors. Qualcomm derives its performance advantage from its process technology at the premium tier and the Adreno GPU component of its SoC which is more customized than MediaTek.\nTo compare the performance of the companies’ chipsets, we referred to benchmarks from Centurion Mark, which is a well-regarded benchmark used to analyze the performance of each series of application processors. Centurion Mark is determined by testing the processors on over 20 different parameters. Some of these parameters such as User Experience and Raw CPU Performance have a significant impact on the score while there are some minor parameters as well that make a little difference (For example, Dual VoLTE Support). These are the 5 major factors that influence Centurion Mark: User Experience, Real-World Performance, Raw CPU Performance, Raw GPU Performance, Features and Technologies Present. The graphs below show the centurion mark for both Qualcomm and MediaTek chips. Based on the centurion mark, Qualcomm appears to have better performing chipsets with a higher score.\n\nSource: Tech Centurion\nFor the premium tier, the Snapdragon 888 is Qualcomm’s latest and most advanced chipset which is compared to MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000 series. The Snapdragon 888 has a Centurion Mark score of 156 which is higher than Dimensity 1000 at up to 150 only. Specification wise, both chips have the same number of ARM Cortex cores but the fundamentaldifferencesbetween these chipsets are the process technology used to manufacture them. Qualcomm uses a 5nm process by Samsung while MediaTek uses 6nm for the Dimensity chip leading to better CPU performance and battery life from more efficient power consumption. Additionally, Qualcomm’s Adreno GPUs are semi-customed by Qualcomm while MediaTek uses a standard ARM Mali GPU which also explains the better GPU performance for Qualcomm.\nSource:NanoReview\nThe reason this performance advantage for Qualcomm is significant is because of the superior profitability it commands. In terms of pricing, Qualcomm’s average chip price is $51.70 which is significantly higher than MediaTek’s average chip price of $32.55. We calculated this price by dividing the revenue by the total shipments of 2020.\n\n\n\nCompany\nRevenue ($ mln)\nShipments ('mln')\nAverage Chipset Price ($)\n\n\nQualcomm\n16,493\n319\n$51.70\n\n\nMediaTek\n11,457\n352\n$32.55\n\n\n\nSource: Qualcomm, MediaTek,Omdia\nThis higher pricing power of Qualcomm improves its margins as the company has about 60% gross margins. In comparison, MediaTek’s gross margins are only about 42%. This difference shows that although MediaTek has more shipments and is currently the market leader, Qualcomm is the more profitable company.\n\n\n\nCompany\nGross Margins (%)\n\n\nQualcomm\n60.67%\n\n\nMediaTek\n41.85%\n\n\n\nSource: Qualcomm, MediaTek\nThat said, the performance advantage is likely less to price sensitive consumers in the lower-tier market which is why MediaTek is still gaining market share. Additionally, MediaTek is also believed to be beefing up its Dimensity series with the help of TSMC touseits 5nm process technology which may close the performance gap with Qualcomm in future lineups. However, Qualcomm is still the superior company in terms of performance and commands higher profitability. Moreover, the high-end smartphone market share is expected to remain stable as seen in the chart below.\nSource:Statista\nExpansion Opportunities Beyond Smartphones with Automotive SoCs\nApart from emerging markets, the ownership rate of smartphones is already at a mature rate in more developed countries. In 2020, the global smartphonepenetration rateis estimated to be around 78%. This presents a long-term risk to both companies which depend heavily on the smartphone application processor market. However, Qualcomm has a relatively more diversified business structure and intends to expand into the automotive chipset market.\nSource: Qualcomm, MediaTek\nQualcomm leverages its wireless and connectivity expertise to cater to the automotive infotainment chip market. In 2021, the company and General Motors(NYSE:GM)announced an agreement for the Qualcomm Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms to power digital cockpits and next-generation telematics systems. Moreover, the company is seeking to expand into the ADAS and AV chip market, leveraging its CPU and GPU capabilities and competing against Nvidia’s DRIVE and Intel’s Mobileye. The company intends to scale its Snapdragon automotive processor for ADAS and self-driving vehicles promising performances of up to 700 TOPs. Management claims that its Snapdragon Ride ADAS system could be launched by 2022. In relation, the company is partnering with Veoneer (VNE), a previous partner of Nvidia, which provides ADAS and AV solutions including its Arriver software which the companies plan to integrate with the Snapdragon Ride Platform. In terms of design wins, Mobileye and Nvidia have secured a greater network of automakers compared to Qualcomm. The company is believed to have landed GM as a major customer to implement its ADAS.\nSource:Forbes\nAccording to Navigant Research, the research firm ranks Nvidia and Intel Mobileye ahead of Qualcomm in the automotive self-driving compute platform but still a leader in this area. Overall, Qualcomm has set its sights in the automotive market in contrast to MediaTek which remains focused on the smartphone market. This means that Qualcomm is in a better position to reap the benefits of the rising global automotive chip market size which is forecasted to reach $56.24 bln by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 10.7%, driven by rising ADAS applications.\nSource:Navigant Research\nTrade Tensions Risk Impacting the Smartphone Application Processor Market\nComparing both companies’ revenue breakdown by region, both Qualcomm and MediaTek derive a significant portion of their revenues from the Asia Pacific region with Qualcomm making 59% of revenue from China.\nSource: Qualcomm, MediaTek\nWe believe the greatest risk for Qualcomm is the escalating trade tensions between the US and China. In 2020, the company was barred from doing business with Huawei like other US companies until it was later modified to allow older generation 4G chips to be supplied to Huawei. This may have provided some relief for Qualcomm but the restriction on 5G technology remaining in place affects both Qualcomm and Huawei negatively. Though, the wider implication of rising dispute between the two largest economies may impact Qualcomm. This is the case where other Chinese smartphone manufacturers may be diversifying their supply chain benefitting MediaTek to prevent the threat of trade embargoes against them in the future. If trade tensions continue to escalate between the countries’ governments, Qualcomm stands to lose as it is heavily reliant on the Chinese market. Additionally, this could lead to a shift that may see MediaTek benefit from orders redirected from Qualcomm to it by Chinese manufacturers.\nValuation\nThe 5-year average revenue growth of Qualcomm is -1.3%. The 5-year average gross and net margins are 59.3% and 10.68%, respectively.\nSource: Qualcomm, Khaveen Investments\nThe 5-year average revenue growth of MediaTek is 13.6%.

For 2022 and 2023, the forecasted revenues are based on the market CAGR for each of the segments. The handset and RFFE segment is expected togrowat 11% which is the market forecast for the global smartphone application processor market. The QTL segment is also based on the same growth rate as the segments are interlinked. The IoT segment is expected togrowat 14.9% which is the market forecast for the global IoT chip market. Similarly, the automotive segment is expected togrowat 10.7% which is the global automotive chip market CAGR. Overall, the revenue growth for 2021 is forecasted at 46%.

This is also significant as Chinese smartphone manufacturers are cannibalizing Huawei’s market positioning. This has also enabled it to gain ground in developing markets where smartphone ownership rates are still low compared to more developed regions. Despite that, we believe Qualcomm still edges out over MediaTek as it has superior profitability and maintains a performance advantage over MediaTek. Qualcomm’s focus on R&D and strong relationship with foundries solidified the Snapdragon 888’s performance advantage to cater to the premium tier and leading to higher margins than MediaTek. Additionally, Qualcomm is building on its efforts to leverage the Snapdragon platform across adjacent markets, especially in automotive where it is developing an auto compute platform with ADAS and AV capabilities, while MediaTek remains focused on the smartphone market. Overall, we rate Qualcomm as a Buy with a target price of $168.93 and MediaTek as a Hold with a target price of TWD1,021.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":159,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":161108906,"gmtCreate":1623908361605,"gmtModify":1703823256592,"author":{"id":"3563073994012433","authorId":"3563073994012433","name":"samsjxregit","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563073994012433","authorIdStr":"3563073994012433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/161108906","repostId":"1117650695","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1117650695","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623902228,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1117650695?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-17 11:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Shopify: Valuation Should Not Be A Concern","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1117650695","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Shopify is a leading merchant platform empowering mostly small online retailers.Shopify is set to grow revenues to $5b by 2023.Fulfillment center strategy makes Shopify a long-term threat to Amazon.Shopify is taking a larger bite out of the e-commerce market and the price is justified given Shopify's potential for rapid revenue growth.Shopify  is a strong buy as the merchant platform takes a bigger and bigger bite out of the expanding e-commerce market and revenues are growing rapidly.

Shopify has more than 1.7m merchants signed on to its platform from 175 countries and continually develops news complementary sources of revenues. In its latestproduct news, Shopify announced that it will make its “one-click checkout” available to all merchants selling on Facebook(NASDAQ:FB)&nbsp;and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL)using Shop Pay. The integration is set to lower the “abandoned card” problem many retailers have which is customers not completing the checkout process.

The easy and relatively low-cost entry into thee-commerce market could also turn out to be a problem longer term.

Slowing revenue growth and an overblown valuation may be the two biggest risks for Shopify.</p>\n<p><b>You pay for Shopify's growth...</b></p>\n<p>By the end of next year Shopify should be a $5b annual revenue company, but the critical revenue milestone could be reached much sooner if Shopify manages to grow as fast as it did during the pandemic. The expectation is for Shopify to earn $4.35-share on revenues of $4.4b in FY 2021 with revenues scaling to ten-fold to $42b this decade. I believe fulfillment centers alone represent a $1b annual revenue opportunity for Shopify long term. Revenues for FY 2022 should also be closer to $6.5b with the consensus calling for revenues of \"only\" $5.9b.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/add63adc4e771f68c7aa36779607334d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"286\"><span>(Source: Seeking Alpha)</span></p>\n<p>Amazon still has a big lead on Shopify, but the twoe-commerce companies are set to go toe-to-toe long term.

In its latestproduct news, Shopify announced that it will make its “one-click checkout” available to all merchants selling on Facebook(NASDAQ:FB) and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL)using Shop Pay. The integration is set to lower the “abandoned card” problem many retailers have which is customers not completing the checkout process. Shop Pay could provide a remedy to this problem by making the checkout process easier and more efficient.\nRisks\nMargins ine-commerce are very thin and growing competition in the industry will make things worse long term. The easy and relatively low-cost entry into thee-commerce market could also turn out to be a problem longer term. Companies that win ine-commerce are companies like Shopify with their own ecosystems that create a moat and protect against competition. Slowing revenue growth and an overblown valuation may be the two biggest risks for Shopify.\nYou pay for Shopify's growth...\nBy the end of next year Shopify should be a $5b annual revenue company, but the critical revenue milestone could be reached much sooner if Shopify manages to grow as fast as it did during the pandemic. The expectation is for Shopify to earn $4.35-share on revenues of $4.4b in FY 2021 with revenues scaling to ten-fold to $42b this decade. I believe fulfillment centers alone represent a $1b annual revenue opportunity for Shopify long term. Revenues for FY 2022 should also be closer to $6.5b with the consensus calling for revenues of \"only\" $5.9b.\n(Source: Seeking Alpha)\nAmazon still has a big lead on Shopify, but the twoe-commerce companies are set to go toe-to-toe long term. Every new product that Shopify rolls out and every new fulfillment center it builds brings Shopify one step closer to taking Amazon head-on. Although Shopify is more expensive than Amazon on a per-dollar-of-revenue basis, the merchant platform clearly has the stature and ambition to take on Amazon.\nShopify trades at a P-S ratio of 28, but you pay for growth...\nData by YCharts\nFinal thoughts\nShopify has an incredible long-term growth opportunity and Amazon should be worried.\nShopify has proven to be a real innovator in the industry and constantly develops new products that make online shopping easier for both the online retailer and the merchant.\nAlthough Shopify has a much higher P-S ratio than Amazon, Shopify has more potential to grow because of its relatively smaller revenue base and market cap.\nThe fulfillment center strategy makes a lot of strategic sense and will fortify Shopify's position in the e-commerce market. It can also fuel Shopify's international expansion.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":129,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":187811670,"gmtCreate":1623748981090,"gmtModify":1704210352082,"author":{"id":"3563073994012433","authorId":"3563073994012433","name":"samsjxregit","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563073994012433","authorIdStr":"3563073994012433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice ttm!","listText":"Nice ttm!","text":"Nice ttm!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/187811670","repostId":"2143975821","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2143975821","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623748326,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2143975821?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-15 17:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Airgain (AIRG) Moves 12.2% Higher: Will This Strength Last?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2143975821","media":"Zacks","summary":"Airgain (AIRG) shares soared 12.2% in the last trading session to close at $21.66.

While careful not to derail the recovery - with no end in sight for supportive policy measures such as bond-buying - the rate-rise signal highlighted concerns about inflation.\n\"I think there was a scenario that people had in mind, that the Fed was going to allow for a larger and longer inflation overshoot, and I think with the increase in the dot plot yesterday... people are rethinking that scenario,\" said David Lefkowitz, head of equities for the Americas at UBS Global Wealth Management.\nTechnology shares, which generally perform better when interest rates are low, powered a rally on Wall Street last year as investors flocked to stocks seen as relatively safe during times of economic turmoil.\nInvestors returned to such positions on Thursday. Chipmaker Nvidia Corp jumped 4.8%, posting its fourth consecutive record close, after Jefferies raised its price target on the stock.\nMeanwhile, shares of Apple Inc, Microsoft Corp, Amazon.com Inc and Facebook Inc shook off premarket declines to advance between 1.3% and 2.2% as investors bet that a steady economic rebound would boost demand for their products in the long run.\nThe Nasdaq ended 13 points short of its record finish on Monday, but it was still the index's second-highest close ever.\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 210.22 points, or 0.62%, to 33,823.45, the S&P 500 lost 1.84 points, or 0.04%, to 4,221.86 and the Nasdaq Composite added 121.67 points, or 0.87%, to 14,161.35.\nInterest rate-sensitive bank stocks slumped 4.3% as longer-dated U.S. Treasury yields dropped.\nThe strengthening dollar, another by-product of the previous day's Fed news, pushed U.S. oil prices down from the multi-year high hit earlier in the week. The energy index, in turn, was off 3.5%, the biggest laggard among the 11 main S&P sectors.\nOther economically sensitive stocks, including materials and industrials, fell 2.2% and 1.6% respectively as data showed jobless claims rising last week for the first time in more than a month. Still, layoffs appeared to be easing amid a reopening economy and a shortage of people willing to work.\nVolume on U.S. exchanges was 11.77 billion shares, compared with the 10.67 billion average over the last 20 trading days.\nThe S&P 500 posted 23 new 52-week highs and 2 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 82 new highs and 37 new lows.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":358,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":168906094,"gmtCreate":1623945929218,"gmtModify":1703824369457,"author":{"id":"3563073994012433","authorId":"3563073994012433","name":"samsjxregit","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563073994012433","authorIdStr":"3563073994012433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/168906094","repostId":"1108846547","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1108846547","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623943021,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1108846547?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-17 23:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Bankers Just Complicated El Salvador’s Bitcoin Plan","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1108846547","media":"investorplace","summary":"The price ofBitcoin(CCC:BTC-USD) slipped to below $39,000 on Thursday after the World Bank refused E","content":"<p>The price of<b>Bitcoin</b>(CCC:<b><u>BTC-USD</u></b>) slipped to below $39,000 on Thursday after the World Bank refused El Salvador’s request to help with the implementation of the cryptocurrency as a legal tender.

In terms of market share, both companies are dominant players, accounting for over 50% of the smartphone application processor market combined. Qualcomm has its renowned Snapdragon series of chipsets while MediaTek has the featured Helios and expanded Dimensity lineup. However, MediaTek has been more successful with its lineup, securing design wins with major smartphone manufacturers leading to it gaining share at the expense of Qualcomm.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/baebb940df0829e4a7d45434b92e2556\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"><span>Source: Qualcomm, MediaTek</span></p>\n<p>MediaTek’s market share gains have been impressive and are attributed to its cost-effective Dimensity series, which the company has introduced with 5G compatibility. Its expanded lineup has secured design wins with key customers such as Xiaomi (OTCPK:XIACF), Samsung (OTC:SSNLF), and Oppo. MediaTek is also gaining popularity in developing markets where it has edged out Qualcomm for market leadership in markets including China, LATAM, EMEA, and India. However, we highlighted Qualcomm’s performance advantage leading to superior profitability with higher margins. Fundamentally, both SoCs consist of ARM-based CPU but Qualcomm uses a 5nm process technology for its latest and most advanced Snapdragon 888 powering the premium-tier smartphones.</p>\n<p>Besides the smartphone market, Qualcomm is also setting its sights to expand into the automotive market where it is planning to leverage its CPU and GPU expertise to extend the Snapdragon capabilities to handle ADAS and self-driving technologies and competing against Nvidia(NASDAQ:NVDA)and Intel’s(NASDAQ:INTC)Mobileye, whereas MediaTek maintains a more focused approach on the smartphone markets which faces the threat of stagnation owing to high smartphone ownership rates. Finally, we compared the company’s financials and applied a DCF analysis to value both companies.</p>\n<p><b>MediaTek Stealing Qualcomm’s Crown by Supplying Chinese Smartphone Manufacturers</b></p>\n<p>In 2020, MediaTek overtook Qualcomm to be the largest smartphone application processor supplier. While both companies remain as leaders of the global smartphone application processor market, MediaTek has displayed rapid growth whereas Qualcomm’s market share leadership has eroded since 2018. This trend is attributed to several factors including growing orders from key smartphone OEMs, the Huawei ban, and the company’s expanded 5G portfolio with the Dimensity 800 series targeted towards low to mid-tier devices. Based on the market share chart below, MediaTek has been gaining market share while Qualcomm’s market leadership has eroded.

This has also enabled MediaTek to secure large parts of the developing markets including China, LATAM, MEA, and India which account for over 60% of the smartphone market. These factors are attributable to MediaTek’s rising share in the past 3 years and edging out Qualcomm’s market leadership.</p>\n<p><b>Qualcomm Still Maintains Superior Technology with Greater Profitability</b></p>\n<p>Although MediaTek has claimed market leadership over Qualcomm, another aspect that contrasts both companies are in terms of performance. Historically, Qualcomm has maintained an edge over MediaTek in terms of application processor&nbsp;performance. However, both companies utilize the same ARM-based processors. Qualcomm derives its performance advantage from its process technology at the premium tier and the Adreno GPU&nbsp;component&nbsp;of its SoC which is more customized than MediaTek.</p>\n<p>To compare the performance of the companies’ chipsets, we referred to benchmarks from Centurion Mark, which is a well-regarded benchmark used to analyze the performance of each series of application processors. Centurion Mark is&nbsp;determined&nbsp;by testing the processors on over 20 different parameters. Some of these parameters such as User Experience and Raw CPU Performance have a significant impact on the score while there are some minor parameters as well that make a little difference (For example, Dual VoLTE Support). These are the 5 major factors that influence Centurion Mark: User Experience, Real-World Performance, Raw CPU Performance, Raw GPU Performance, Features and Technologies Present. The graphs below show the centurion mark for both Qualcomm and MediaTek chips. Based on the centurion mark, Qualcomm appears to have better performing chipsets with a higher score.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd0a178f080cf09e36e490ae449474d8\" tg-width=\"568\" tg-height=\"562\"></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0443c6cb35170d9e3fac3453232a7ca0\" tg-width=\"567\" tg-height=\"506\"><span>Source: Tech Centurion</span></p>\n<p>For the premium tier, the Snapdragon 888 is Qualcomm’s latest and most advanced chipset which is compared to MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000 series. The Snapdragon 888 has a Centurion Mark score of 156 which is higher than Dimensity 1000 at up to 150 only. Specification wise, both chips have the same number of ARM Cortex cores but the fundamentaldifferencesbetween these chipsets are the process technology used to manufacture them. Qualcomm uses a 5nm process by Samsung while MediaTek uses 6nm for the Dimensity chip leading to better CPU performance and battery life from more efficient power consumption. Additionally, Qualcomm’s Adreno GPUs are semi-customed by Qualcomm while MediaTek uses a standard ARM Mali GPU which also explains the better GPU performance for Qualcomm.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a22e12404ab1ff32846a8b255243dd5d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"277\"><span>Source:NanoReview</span></p>\n<p>The reason this performance advantage for Qualcomm is significant is because of the superior profitability it commands. In terms of pricing, Qualcomm’s average chip price is $51.70 which is significantly higher than MediaTek’s average chip price of $32.55. We calculated this price by dividing the revenue by the total shipments of 2020.</p>\n<table>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p><b>Company</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>Revenue ($ mln)</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>Shipments ('mln')</b></p></td>\n   <td><p><b>Average Chipset Price ($)</b></p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>Qualcomm</p></td>\n   <td><p>16,493</p></td>\n   <td><p>319</p></td>\n   <td><p>$51.70</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>MediaTek</p></td>\n   <td><p>11,457</p></td>\n   <td><p>352</p></td>\n   <td><p>$32.55</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p><i>Source: Qualcomm, MediaTek,Omdia</i></p>\n<p>This higher pricing power of Qualcomm improves its margins as the company has about 60% gross margins.

In 2020, the company was&nbsp;barred&nbsp;from doing business with Huawei like other US companies until it was later modified to allow older generation 4G chips to be supplied to Huawei. This may have provided some relief for Qualcomm but the restriction on 5G technology remaining in place affects both Qualcomm and Huawei negatively. Though, the wider implication of rising dispute between the two largest economies may impact Qualcomm. This is the case where other Chinese smartphone manufacturers may be diversifying their supply chain benefitting MediaTek to prevent the threat of trade embargoes against them in the future. If trade tensions continue to escalate between the countries’ governments, Qualcomm stands to lose as it is heavily reliant on the Chinese market. Additionally, this could lead to a shift that may see MediaTek benefit from orders redirected from Qualcomm to it by Chinese manufacturers.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation</b></p>\n<p>The 5-year average revenue growth of Qualcomm is -1.3%.

In terms of market share, both companies are dominant players, accounting for over 50% of the smartphone application processor market combined. Qualcomm has its renowned Snapdragon series of chipsets while MediaTek has the featured Helios and expanded Dimensity lineup. However, MediaTek has been more successful with its lineup, securing design wins with major smartphone manufacturers leading to it gaining share at the expense of Qualcomm.\nSource: Qualcomm, MediaTek\nMediaTek’s market share gains have been impressive and are attributed to its cost-effective Dimensity series, which the company has introduced with 5G compatibility. Its expanded lineup has secured design wins with key customers such as Xiaomi (OTCPK:XIACF), Samsung (OTC:SSNLF), and Oppo. MediaTek is also gaining popularity in developing markets where it has edged out Qualcomm for market leadership in markets including China, LATAM, EMEA, and India. However, we highlighted Qualcomm’s performance advantage leading to superior profitability with higher margins. Fundamentally, both SoCs consist of ARM-based CPU but Qualcomm uses a 5nm process technology for its latest and most advanced Snapdragon 888 powering the premium-tier smartphones.\nBesides the smartphone market, Qualcomm is also setting its sights to expand into the automotive market where it is planning to leverage its CPU and GPU expertise to extend the Snapdragon capabilities to handle ADAS and self-driving technologies and competing against Nvidia(NASDAQ:NVDA)and Intel’s(NASDAQ:INTC)Mobileye, whereas MediaTek maintains a more focused approach on the smartphone markets which faces the threat of stagnation owing to high smartphone ownership rates. Finally, we compared the company’s financials and applied a DCF analysis to value both companies.\nMediaTek Stealing Qualcomm’s Crown by Supplying Chinese Smartphone Manufacturers\nIn 2020, MediaTek overtook Qualcomm to be the largest smartphone application processor supplier. While both companies remain as leaders of the global smartphone application processor market, MediaTek has displayed rapid growth whereas Qualcomm’s market share leadership has eroded since 2018. This trend is attributed to several factors including growing orders from key smartphone OEMs, the Huawei ban, and the company’s expanded 5G portfolio with the Dimensity 800 series targeted towards low to mid-tier devices. Based on the market share chart below, MediaTek has been gaining market share while Qualcomm’s market leadership has eroded. Though, the impact on Qualcomm has been cushioned by Samsung’s decision to outsource rather than using its unpopular Exynos chip among fans.\nSource:Counterpoint Research\nBoth companies supply to Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo. These are key customers for Samsung,representing more than 10% of revenues each according to its annual report. On the other hand, MediaTek does not disclose its revenue contribution figures from customers. However, MediaTek has witnessed tremendous growth from Xiaomi and Samsung as it secured design wins to supply these companies with its newly launched 5G smartphone chipsets as well as trade tension pressures leading Chinese chipmakers to diversify their supply chain from the US-based Qualcomm. Additionally, Qualcomm was reported to have faced supply chain issues due to the production shutdown of Samsung’s Austin fab in Q1 2021, which manufactures some of Qualcomm’s chips. In terms of shipments, Xiaomi was the company’s biggest customer and reportedly shipped 223% more smartphones with the company’s chips as compared to 2019. Oppo was MediaTek’s second-biggest customer in 2020, shipping 19% more chips than 2019. Samsung also saw demand for MediaTek smartphones grow by over 250% in 2020 over 2019 while demand for Qualcomm declined by 53% based on estimates derived from its market shares.\n\n\n\nTop Customers\nQualcomm 2020 Shipments ('mln)\nGrowth (%)\nMediaTek 2020 Shipments ('mln')\nGrowth (%)\n\n\nXiaomi\n82.9\n-21%\n63.7\n223%\n\n\nOppo\n56.5\n-23%\n55.3\n19%\n\n\nSamsung\n22.7\n-53%\n43.3\n255%\n\n\n\nSource:GSM Arena,SamMobile,Xiaomi,Counterpoint Research\nThe exposure that MediaTek has obtained from its relationship with Chinese smartphone manufacturers, Xiaomi and Oppo, has been highly beneficial as these companies are cannibalizing Huawei’s sales which have felt the impact of the trade embargo by the US. As shown in the chart below, Chinese smartphone competitors have gained market share at the expense of Huawei.\nSource:Counterpoint Research\nBesides winning Chinese smartphone manufacturers, another factor that is attributable to the rise in MediaTek is in developing countries where its affordable chipsets are seeing rising adoption. This is evident in the largest smartphone market in the world,China, accounting for 26.6% of global smartphone shipments. Here, MediaTek’s market share among China’s 5G smartphones has risen rapidly in 2020 with the expansion of its 5G lineup and design wins by Chinese smartphone manufacturers. At the end of Q4 2020, it has attained a market share of 40.4% which is ahead of Qualcomm at 20.1%.\nSource:IDC\nBesides China, other developing regions are seeing rising adoption of MediaTek’s application processors. This includes LATAM, MEA, and India, where MediaTek has become the largest supplier of smartphone chipsets ahead of Qualcomm with its affordable 5G lineup. Also, the chart highlights Samsung’s Exynos chip decreasing market share as it outsources instead.\nMarket Share Growth by Region\nSource:Counterpoint Research\nMoreover, the developing countries make up some of the largest smartphone markets globally with China, India, Indonesia, and Brazil being among the top 5 markets. These growth markets are only about 60% penetrated in terms of smartphone ownership. India has the lowest penetration at only 31.8%, which shows a significant opportunity for high potential for growth in the country. In 2020, the global smartphone market wasvaluedat $714.96 bln and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 11.2%.\nWorldwide Smartphone Sales by Region ('mln')\n\n\n\nRegion\n2020\n2021F\nGrowth (%)\n\n\nEastern Europe\n43\n49\n14.91%\n\n\nEmerging Asia/Pacific\n337\n366\n8.61%\n\n\nEurasia\n43\n47\n8.71%\n\n\nGreater China\n368\n410\n11.40%\n\n\nLatin America\n116\n134\n15.52%\n\n\nMature Asia/Pacific\n26\n30\n15.76%\n\n\nMiddle East and North Africa\n71\n79\n10.68%\n\n\nNorth America\n136\n152\n11.37%\n\n\nSub-Saharan Africa\n84\n94\n11.67%\n\n\nWestern Europe\n125\n143\n13.85%\n\n\nJapan\n27\n30\n10.90%\n\n\nGrand Total\n1,379\n1,535\n11.36%\n\n\n\nSource:Gartner, Khaveen Investments\nOverall, MediaTek has been able to deepen its relationship with Chinese smartphone manufacturers by securing new design wins with its expanded 5G Dimensity lineup while Qualcomm, which has had an early advantage, is starting to feel the pinch from MediaTek. This has also enabled MediaTek to secure large parts of the developing markets including China, LATAM, MEA, and India which account for over 60% of the smartphone market. These factors are attributable to MediaTek’s rising share in the past 3 years and edging out Qualcomm’s market leadership.\nQualcomm Still Maintains Superior Technology with Greater Profitability\nAlthough MediaTek has claimed market leadership over Qualcomm, another aspect that contrasts both companies are in terms of performance. Historically, Qualcomm has maintained an edge over MediaTek in terms of application processor performance. However, both companies utilize the same ARM-based processors. Qualcomm derives its performance advantage from its process technology at the premium tier and the Adreno GPU component of its SoC which is more customized than MediaTek.\nTo compare the performance of the companies’ chipsets, we referred to benchmarks from Centurion Mark, which is a well-regarded benchmark used to analyze the performance of each series of application processors. Centurion Mark is determined by testing the processors on over 20 different parameters. Some of these parameters such as User Experience and Raw CPU Performance have a significant impact on the score while there are some minor parameters as well that make a little difference (For example, Dual VoLTE Support). These are the 5 major factors that influence Centurion Mark: User Experience, Real-World Performance, Raw CPU Performance, Raw GPU Performance, Features and Technologies Present. The graphs below show the centurion mark for both Qualcomm and MediaTek chips. Based on the centurion mark, Qualcomm appears to have better performing chipsets with a higher score.\n\nSource: Tech Centurion\nFor the premium tier, the Snapdragon 888 is Qualcomm’s latest and most advanced chipset which is compared to MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000 series. The Snapdragon 888 has a Centurion Mark score of 156 which is higher than Dimensity 1000 at up to 150 only. Specification wise, both chips have the same number of ARM Cortex cores but the fundamentaldifferencesbetween these chipsets are the process technology used to manufacture them. Qualcomm uses a 5nm process by Samsung while MediaTek uses 6nm for the Dimensity chip leading to better CPU performance and battery life from more efficient power consumption. Additionally, Qualcomm’s Adreno GPUs are semi-customed by Qualcomm while MediaTek uses a standard ARM Mali GPU which also explains the better GPU performance for Qualcomm.\nSource:NanoReview\nThe reason this performance advantage for Qualcomm is significant is because of the superior profitability it commands. In terms of pricing, Qualcomm’s average chip price is $51.70 which is significantly higher than MediaTek’s average chip price of $32.55. We calculated this price by dividing the revenue by the total shipments of 2020.\n\n\n\nCompany\nRevenue ($ mln)\nShipments ('mln')\nAverage Chipset Price ($)\n\n\nQualcomm\n16,493\n319\n$51.70\n\n\nMediaTek\n11,457\n352\n$32.55\n\n\n\nSource: Qualcomm, MediaTek,Omdia\nThis higher pricing power of Qualcomm improves its margins as the company has about 60% gross margins. In comparison, MediaTek’s gross margins are only about 42%. This difference shows that although MediaTek has more shipments and is currently the market leader, Qualcomm is the more profitable company.\n\n\n\nCompany\nGross Margins (%)\n\n\nQualcomm\n60.67%\n\n\nMediaTek\n41.85%\n\n\n\nSource: Qualcomm, MediaTek\nThat said, the performance advantage is likely less to price sensitive consumers in the lower-tier market which is why MediaTek is still gaining market share. Additionally, MediaTek is also believed to be beefing up its Dimensity series with the help of TSMC touseits 5nm process technology which may close the performance gap with Qualcomm in future lineups. However, Qualcomm is still the superior company in terms of performance and commands higher profitability. Moreover, the high-end smartphone market share is expected to remain stable as seen in the chart below.\nSource:Statista\nExpansion Opportunities Beyond Smartphones with Automotive SoCs\nApart from emerging markets, the ownership rate of smartphones is already at a mature rate in more developed countries. In 2020, the global smartphonepenetration rateis estimated to be around 78%. This presents a long-term risk to both companies which depend heavily on the smartphone application processor market. However, Qualcomm has a relatively more diversified business structure and intends to expand into the automotive chipset market.\nSource: Qualcomm, MediaTek\nQualcomm leverages its wireless and connectivity expertise to cater to the automotive infotainment chip market. In 2021, the company and General Motors(NYSE:GM)announced an agreement for the Qualcomm Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms to power digital cockpits and next-generation telematics systems. Moreover, the company is seeking to expand into the ADAS and AV chip market, leveraging its CPU and GPU capabilities and competing against Nvidia’s DRIVE and Intel’s Mobileye. The company intends to scale its Snapdragon automotive processor for ADAS and self-driving vehicles promising performances of up to 700 TOPs. Management claims that its Snapdragon Ride ADAS system could be launched by 2022. In relation, the company is partnering with Veoneer (VNE), a previous partner of Nvidia, which provides ADAS and AV solutions including its Arriver software which the companies plan to integrate with the Snapdragon Ride Platform. In terms of design wins, Mobileye and Nvidia have secured a greater network of automakers compared to Qualcomm. The company is believed to have landed GM as a major customer to implement its ADAS.\nSource:Forbes\nAccording to Navigant Research, the research firm ranks Nvidia and Intel Mobileye ahead of Qualcomm in the automotive self-driving compute platform but still a leader in this area. Overall, Qualcomm has set its sights in the automotive market in contrast to MediaTek which remains focused on the smartphone market. This means that Qualcomm is in a better position to reap the benefits of the rising global automotive chip market size which is forecasted to reach $56.24 bln by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 10.7%, driven by rising ADAS applications.\nSource:Navigant Research\nTrade Tensions Risk Impacting the Smartphone Application Processor Market\nComparing both companies’ revenue breakdown by region, both Qualcomm and MediaTek derive a significant portion of their revenues from the Asia Pacific region with Qualcomm making 59% of revenue from China.\nSource: Qualcomm, MediaTek\nWe believe the greatest risk for Qualcomm is the escalating trade tensions between the US and China. In 2020, the company was barred from doing business with Huawei like other US companies until it was later modified to allow older generation 4G chips to be supplied to Huawei. This may have provided some relief for Qualcomm but the restriction on 5G technology remaining in place affects both Qualcomm and Huawei negatively. Though, the wider implication of rising dispute between the two largest economies may impact Qualcomm. This is the case where other Chinese smartphone manufacturers may be diversifying their supply chain benefitting MediaTek to prevent the threat of trade embargoes against them in the future. If trade tensions continue to escalate between the countries’ governments, Qualcomm stands to lose as it is heavily reliant on the Chinese market. Additionally, this could lead to a shift that may see MediaTek benefit from orders redirected from Qualcomm to it by Chinese manufacturers.\nValuation\nThe 5-year average revenue growth of Qualcomm is -1.3%. The 5-year average gross and net margins are 59.3% and 10.68%, respectively.\nSource: Qualcomm, Khaveen Investments\nThe 5-year average revenue growth of MediaTek is 13.6%.

This is also significant as Chinese smartphone manufacturers are cannibalizing Huawei’s market positioning. This has also enabled it to gain ground in developing markets where smartphone ownership rates are still low compared to more developed regions. Despite that, we believe Qualcomm still edges out over MediaTek as it has superior profitability and maintains a performance advantage over MediaTek. Qualcomm’s focus on R&D and strong relationship with foundries solidified the Snapdragon 888’s performance advantage to cater to the premium tier and leading to higher margins than MediaTek. Additionally, Qualcomm is building on its efforts to leverage the Snapdragon platform across adjacent markets, especially in automotive where it is developing an auto compute platform with ADAS and AV capabilities, while MediaTek remains focused on the smartphone market. Overall, we rate Qualcomm as a Buy with a target price of $168.93 and MediaTek as a Hold with a target price of TWD1,021.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":159,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":161108906,"gmtCreate":1623908361605,"gmtModify":1703823256592,"author":{"id":"3563073994012433","authorId":"3563073994012433","name":"samsjxregit","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563073994012433","authorIdStr":"3563073994012433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/161108906","repostId":"1117650695","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1117650695","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623902228,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1117650695?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-17 11:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Shopify: Valuation Should Not Be A Concern","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1117650695","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Shopify is a leading merchant platform empowering mostly small online retailers.Shopify is set to grow revenues to $5b by 2023.Fulfillment center strategy makes Shopify a long-term threat to Amazon.Shopify is taking a larger bite out of the e-commerce market and the price is justified given Shopify's potential for rapid revenue growth.Shopify  is a strong buy as the merchant platform takes a bigger and bigger bite out of the expanding e-commerce market and revenues are growing rapidly.

Many companies faced adversity throughout the pandemic, and some are still recovering, but not BABA. Through the worst economic environment for businesses to navigate in recent times, BABA generated over $100 billion in revenue and $20 billion in net income during their recent fiscal year. While BABA didn't get the memo about businesses facing challenges amidst the pandemic, the market must not have read BABA's earnings report or crunched the numbers.</p>\n<p>There are two Chinese companies I am bullish on, and BABA is my biggest conviction for appreciation. BABA smashed through the $300 share price level at the end of October 2020, but shareholders have been left confused and disappointed since then. It looked like BABA would turn the corner after a horrible end to 2020 as shares appreciated from $222.36 from the close of 2020 to $270.83 in the middle of February 2021. Still, the markets had other plans, and all shares of BABA have done is disappoint shareholders. If you missed the BABA train, it's time to grab your tickets and climb aboard, and if you purchased BABA during its run to $300 or early 2021 rebound, it might be time to add to your holdings. BABA is going to experience tremendous tailwinds from China's population and economic growth over the next several years, and their printing press is going to need more ink.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86da7b532f25f563d08490ddc43cbede\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"337\"><span>(Source: Alibaba)</span></p>\n<p><b>The Alibaba printing press is open for business, and it spits out billions</b></p>\n<p>How many companies can say their annual revenue through the pandemic exceeded $100 billion? The $100 billion revenue mark is a prestigious club that companies such as&nbsp;Facebook (FB),PepsiCo (PEP),Procter &amp; Gamble (PG),Target (TGT), and&nbsp;Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ)&nbsp;are not part of. BABA, on the other hand, witnessed its revenue increase by 52.11% and smash through $100 billion as they generated $109.47 billion in their recent fiscal year. For the year ending March 2019, BABA's revenue increased by $16.25 billion (40.74%) to $56.15 billion, then for the March 2020 fiscal year, revenue increased another $15.82 billion (28.17%) to $71.97 billion. BABA is in the same boat as Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG)(GOOGL), FB, and Amazon (AMZN) as they watched the pandemic push more people to go digital which accelerated their businesses. For BABA, the forced transition to digital helped them achieve $37.5 billion (52.11%) in additional revenue as they finished their March 2021 fiscal year with $109.47 billion in revenue.</p>\n<p>Since 2013 BABA has not had a year where their annual revenue increase didn't exceed 25% Year over Year (YoY). When you think about that as a growth rate, it's remarkable for a company of BABA's size as this isn't a company chasing its first billion-dollar revenue year. Over the past 5 fiscal years, BABA's annual revenue has increased by $93.8 billion (408.08%) at an average annual rate of 48.25%. Smaller companies considered growth companies would be jealous of these rates, while many large caps are probably envious.</p>\n<p>BABA isn't a one-trick pony that can only generate tens of billions in revenue. BABA can convert right down to the bottom line. Each year BABA has increased its YoY gross profit by a minimum of 10% since 2013. In 2016 BABA generated $10.35 billion in gross profit and, over the next 5 fiscal years, increased its annual gross profit by $34.84 billion (336.68%). BABA has also never fallen below a 40% gross profit margin, Warren Buffett's magic number, as he indicates in<i>Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements. On page 34 of the Kindle edition,it says:</i></p>\n<blockquote>\n As a very general rule (and there are exceptions): Companies with gross profit margins of 40% or better tend to be companies with some sort of durable competitive advantage. Companies with gross profit margins below 40% tend to be companies in highly competitive industries, where competition is hurting overall profit margins (there are exceptions here, too).\n</blockquote>\n<p>The gross profit margin is important for investors to evaluate because it reveals how much of a company's revenue goes directly to producing it and if they have a moat around their business. BABA's numbers indicate they have a sufficient moat around their business that is hard to penetrate. With close to a decade of generating over 40% in gross profit margins, investors can expect that BABA's moat will protect its business operations for years to come.</p>\n<p>Moving to the bottom line BABA does a great job at generating profits. In their most recent fiscal year, BABA generated $22.98 billion in net income, converting more than 1/5th (20.99%) of their revenue to pure profits. Since 2013 BABA has only had 1 year where net income decreases YoY. With that track record, many options open up for BABA in the future as their cash stockpile continues to increase.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/41a5e036f023fa4ced7666e06aa1de6b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"444\"><span>(Source: Alibaba)</span></p>\n<p><b>Alibaba will continue to experience tailwinds as China's population and economy expands</b></p>\n<p>Alibaba&nbsp;achieved one billion annual active consumers globally in the fiscal year that ended in March 2021. BABA has 891 million consumers across China's retail marketplace, local consumer services and digital media and entertainment platforms, and approximately 240 million consumers outside China. BABA's annual active consumers in the China retail marketplaces were 811 million as it grew by 85 million YoY. BABA will focus on developing a digital commerce infrastructure that offers an upgraded consumer experience by seamlessly integrating online and offline. Through BABA's infrastructure, countless retailers have digitally transformed their businesses and created multiple retail formats that have enabled new consumption experiences by leveraging consumer insights and technology. BABA's ecosystem, supply chain, and diversified fulfillment services have facilitated an immense digital transformation. By investing in its infrastructure, BABA's customers can now leverage a full range of high-frequency fulfillment services that include on-demand delivery, same-or-next day delivery, and next-day pick-up services for a full range of consumable and physical products.</p>\n<p>BABA will continue to be one of the cornerstones that supports growth within China's economy, which is benefiting from the acceleration of digitalization in all aspects of life and work. China is projected to be the world's largest economy by 2028. The per-capita income in China is expected to grow by roughly 50% from 2020 to 2025.China's average economic growth&nbsp;has been projected to increase at a rate of 5.7% from 2021 to 2025, then slow to 4.5% from 2026 to 2030. As a result,China&nbsp;is on track to join the top 1/3rd of nations and overtake 56 countries in the per capita income rankings by 2025. By the end of 2022, McKinsey&nbsp;predicts&nbsp;that the middle class could expand to 550 million people which is larger than the entire U.S population.</p>\n<p>If the projections for China are correct, this should mean a windfall of cash lining BABA's coffers. It's a simple recipe; when people make more money, they tend to spend more money to enhance their lives and increase their standard of living. As BABA is a dominant force in China's retail sector, they stand to benefit from a growing economy and a larger middle class. At the end of next year, if China has anywhere close to 550 million individuals in the middle class, I believe BABA's revenue and profits will increase significantly. This trend can provide tailwinds throughout the decade for BABA, and eventually, the market will reward shareholders based on BABA's value proposition.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bbde4a092d19118a2d16daabf5c027d7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"463\"><span>(Source: Blomberg)</span></p>\n<p><b>Alibaba has tremendous growth prospects in Cloud as China continues its digitization</b></p>\n<p>Cloud computing has been red hot in the U.S. as the transition from on-prem to cloud has increased the technological capabilities for many organizations. As digitization progresses across the business landscape, cloud providers continue to increase revenue generated from their cloud segments within their overall revenue mix. For example, AWS, the cloud computing division from&nbsp;AMZN, generated $45.37 billion in 2020. Cloud continues to be an exciting sector because the digital transformation is far from being over. Hence, the prospects of new customers are enormous while reoccurring revenue is generated after the transition occurs.</p>\n<p>In China, cloud infrastructure services are still in the early innings as the entire spend was around $15 billion in 2020. In Q1 of 2021, cloud infrastructure services in&nbsp;China&nbsp;grew by 55% YoY as it reached $6 billion. China was the 2nd largest market behind the U.S, accounting for 14% of global investment, up from 12% in Q1 of 2020. With cloud spending and digitization in China increasing, this serves as a major runway for growth in Alibaba Cloud.</p>\n<p>As China's economy expands, businesses will need to become more efficient to support both operations and customer demands. Chinese companies will need to implement infrastructure that can support a digital age of the workforce while supporting cloud services used by consumers for consumption. If China passes the U.S. as the world's largest economy in the second half of this decade, the amount of growth needed in cloud services will be immense. BABA is already the leader in cloud infrastructure services in China as their 39.8% market share accounted for $2.39 billion of the $6 billion spent in Q1 2021. Over the previous 6 quarters, cloud infrastructure spending has increased by roughly $2.3 billion (76.67%) in China. Based on cloud's current trajectory, quarterly revenue is on track to double over the next 2 years, putting Q1 2023 revenue at $10.6 billion. If BABA has a 35% market share, their Q1 2023 would be $3.71 billion, placing their 2023 revenue for cloud at $14.84 billion without factoring in any growth in 2023. From a cloud aspect, China's future spending is very exciting, and BABA will be one of the major benefactors.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1759b81ce463d503a165d901e2e50d7c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"728\"><span>(Source: Canalys)</span></p>\n<p><b>Alibaba has stellar financial metrics and is undervalued compared to the U.S. tech conglomerates</b></p>\n<p>For this comparison, I am going to use AMZN and GOOGL as they have been establishing their dominance in the U.S. for more than a decade. First, here are the raw numbers for AMZN, BABA, and GOOGL:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>AMZN</li>\n <li>BABA</li>\n <li>GOOGL</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The market currently places a multiple of 17.03x on AMZN's equity compared to its market cap, while its revenue multiple is 4.2x. GOOGL has a multiple of 7.17x on its equity and 8.39x on its revenue compared to market cap. AMZN and GOOGL's market caps exceed $1.5 trillion, while BABA's sits at $575.57 billion. The market is placing a 3.5x multiple on BABA's equity and 5.26x on its revenue compared to the market cap. Thus, the market is severely discounting BABA's equity and revenue generation. BABA's equity is worth 28.58% of its market cap, while AMZN's equity is equivalent to 5.87%, and GOOGL's is 13.94% of its market cap. The current discount placed on BABA's equity could create an additional tailwind for shareholders in the future.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>It's hard to dismiss the growth opportunities some companies in China are presenting, especially after the recent decline in share prices. However, I believe shares of BABA are currently undervalued based on their current financial metrics and growth rates. China's economy and the amount of capital allocated to cloud service infrastructure are expected to grow substantially over the years. These will create powerful tailwinds for BABA throughout this decade. As a result, I think shareholders have been allowed to establish a BABA or dollar cost average position at a discounted price.

Many companies faced adversity throughout the pandemic, and some are still recovering, but not BABA. Through the worst economic environment for businesses to navigate in recent times, BABA generated over $100 billion in revenue and $20 billion in net income during their recent fiscal year. While BABA didn't get the memo about businesses facing challenges amidst the pandemic, the market must not have read BABA's earnings report or crunched the numbers.\nThere are two Chinese companies I am bullish on, and BABA is my biggest conviction for appreciation. BABA smashed through the $300 share price level at the end of October 2020, but shareholders have been left confused and disappointed since then. It looked like BABA would turn the corner after a horrible end to 2020 as shares appreciated from $222.36 from the close of 2020 to $270.83 in the middle of February 2021. Still, the markets had other plans, and all shares of BABA have done is disappoint shareholders. If you missed the BABA train, it's time to grab your tickets and climb aboard, and if you purchased BABA during its run to $300 or early 2021 rebound, it might be time to add to your holdings. BABA is going to experience tremendous tailwinds from China's population and economic growth over the next several years, and their printing press is going to need more ink.\n(Source: Alibaba)\nThe Alibaba printing press is open for business, and it spits out billions\nHow many companies can say their annual revenue through the pandemic exceeded $100 billion? The $100 billion revenue mark is a prestigious club that companies such as Facebook (FB),PepsiCo (PEP),Procter & Gamble (PG),Target (TGT), and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) are not part of. BABA, on the other hand, witnessed its revenue increase by 52.11% and smash through $100 billion as they generated $109.47 billion in their recent fiscal year. For the year ending March 2019, BABA's revenue increased by $16.25 billion (40.74%) to $56.15 billion, then for the March 2020 fiscal year, revenue increased another $15.82 billion (28.17%) to $71.97 billion. BABA is in the same boat as Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG)(GOOGL), FB, and Amazon (AMZN) as they watched the pandemic push more people to go digital which accelerated their businesses. For BABA, the forced transition to digital helped them achieve $37.5 billion (52.11%) in additional revenue as they finished their March 2021 fiscal year with $109.47 billion in revenue.\nSince 2013 BABA has not had a year where their annual revenue increase didn't exceed 25% Year over Year (YoY). When you think about that as a growth rate, it's remarkable for a company of BABA's size as this isn't a company chasing its first billion-dollar revenue year. Over the past 5 fiscal years, BABA's annual revenue has increased by $93.8 billion (408.08%) at an average annual rate of 48.25%. Smaller companies considered growth companies would be jealous of these rates, while many large caps are probably envious.\nBABA isn't a one-trick pony that can only generate tens of billions in revenue. BABA can convert right down to the bottom line. Each year BABA has increased its YoY gross profit by a minimum of 10% since 2013. In 2016 BABA generated $10.35 billion in gross profit and, over the next 5 fiscal years, increased its annual gross profit by $34.84 billion (336.68%). BABA has also never fallen below a 40% gross profit margin, Warren Buffett's magic number, as he indicates inWarren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements. On page 34 of the Kindle edition,it says:\n\n As a very general rule (and there are exceptions): Companies with gross profit margins of 40% or better tend to be companies with some sort of durable competitive advantage. Companies with gross profit margins below 40% tend to be companies in highly competitive industries, where competition is hurting overall profit margins (there are exceptions here, too).\n\nThe gross profit margin is important for investors to evaluate because it reveals how much of a company's revenue goes directly to producing it and if they have a moat around their business. BABA's numbers indicate they have a sufficient moat around their business that is hard to penetrate. With close to a decade of generating over 40% in gross profit margins, investors can expect that BABA's moat will protect its business operations for years to come.\nMoving to the bottom line BABA does a great job at generating profits. In their most recent fiscal year, BABA generated $22.98 billion in net income, converting more than 1/5th (20.99%) of their revenue to pure profits. Since 2013 BABA has only had 1 year where net income decreases YoY. With that track record, many options open up for BABA in the future as their cash stockpile continues to increase.\n(Source: Alibaba)\nAlibaba will continue to experience tailwinds as China's population and economy expands\nAlibaba achieved one billion annual active consumers globally in the fiscal year that ended in March 2021. BABA has 891 million consumers across China's retail marketplace, local consumer services and digital media and entertainment platforms, and approximately 240 million consumers outside China. BABA's annual active consumers in the China retail marketplaces were 811 million as it grew by 85 million YoY. BABA will focus on developing a digital commerce infrastructure that offers an upgraded consumer experience by seamlessly integrating online and offline. Through BABA's infrastructure, countless retailers have digitally transformed their businesses and created multiple retail formats that have enabled new consumption experiences by leveraging consumer insights and technology. BABA's ecosystem, supply chain, and diversified fulfillment services have facilitated an immense digital transformation. By investing in its infrastructure, BABA's customers can now leverage a full range of high-frequency fulfillment services that include on-demand delivery, same-or-next day delivery, and next-day pick-up services for a full range of consumable and physical products.\nBABA will continue to be one of the cornerstones that supports growth within China's economy, which is benefiting from the acceleration of digitalization in all aspects of life and work. China is projected to be the world's largest economy by 2028. The per-capita income in China is expected to grow by roughly 50% from 2020 to 2025.China's average economic growth has been projected to increase at a rate of 5.7% from 2021 to 2025, then slow to 4.5% from 2026 to 2030. As a result,China is on track to join the top 1/3rd of nations and overtake 56 countries in the per capita income rankings by 2025. By the end of 2022, McKinsey predicts that the middle class could expand to 550 million people which is larger than the entire U.S population.\nIf the projections for China are correct, this should mean a windfall of cash lining BABA's coffers. It's a simple recipe; when people make more money, they tend to spend more money to enhance their lives and increase their standard of living. As BABA is a dominant force in China's retail sector, they stand to benefit from a growing economy and a larger middle class. At the end of next year, if China has anywhere close to 550 million individuals in the middle class, I believe BABA's revenue and profits will increase significantly. This trend can provide tailwinds throughout the decade for BABA, and eventually, the market will reward shareholders based on BABA's value proposition.\n(Source: Blomberg)\nAlibaba has tremendous growth prospects in Cloud as China continues its digitization\nCloud computing has been red hot in the U.S. as the transition from on-prem to cloud has increased the technological capabilities for many organizations. As digitization progresses across the business landscape, cloud providers continue to increase revenue generated from their cloud segments within their overall revenue mix. For example, AWS, the cloud computing division from AMZN, generated $45.37 billion in 2020. Cloud continues to be an exciting sector because the digital transformation is far from being over. Hence, the prospects of new customers are enormous while reoccurring revenue is generated after the transition occurs.\nIn China, cloud infrastructure services are still in the early innings as the entire spend was around $15 billion in 2020. In Q1 of 2021, cloud infrastructure services in China grew by 55% YoY as it reached $6 billion. China was the 2nd largest market behind the U.S, accounting for 14% of global investment, up from 12% in Q1 of 2020. With cloud spending and digitization in China increasing, this serves as a major runway for growth in Alibaba Cloud.\nAs China's economy expands, businesses will need to become more efficient to support both operations and customer demands. Chinese companies will need to implement infrastructure that can support a digital age of the workforce while supporting cloud services used by consumers for consumption. If China passes the U.S. as the world's largest economy in the second half of this decade, the amount of growth needed in cloud services will be immense. BABA is already the leader in cloud infrastructure services in China as their 39.8% market share accounted for $2.39 billion of the $6 billion spent in Q1 2021. Over the previous 6 quarters, cloud infrastructure spending has increased by roughly $2.3 billion (76.67%) in China. Based on cloud's current trajectory, quarterly revenue is on track to double over the next 2 years, putting Q1 2023 revenue at $10.6 billion. If BABA has a 35% market share, their Q1 2023 would be $3.71 billion, placing their 2023 revenue for cloud at $14.84 billion without factoring in any growth in 2023. From a cloud aspect, China's future spending is very exciting, and BABA will be one of the major benefactors.\n(Source: Canalys)\nAlibaba has stellar financial metrics and is undervalued compared to the U.S. tech conglomerates\nFor this comparison, I am going to use AMZN and GOOGL as they have been establishing their dominance in the U.S. for more than a decade. First, here are the raw numbers for AMZN, BABA, and GOOGL:\n\nAMZN\nBABA\nGOOGL\n\nThe market currently places a multiple of 17.03x on AMZN's equity compared to its market cap, while its revenue multiple is 4.2x. GOOGL has a multiple of 7.17x on its equity and 8.39x on its revenue compared to market cap. AMZN and GOOGL's market caps exceed $1.5 trillion, while BABA's sits at $575.57 billion. The market is placing a 3.5x multiple on BABA's equity and 5.26x on its revenue compared to the market cap. Thus, the market is severely discounting BABA's equity and revenue generation. BABA's equity is worth 28.58% of its market cap, while AMZN's equity is equivalent to 5.87%, and GOOGL's is 13.94% of its market cap. The current discount placed on BABA's equity could create an additional tailwind for shareholders in the future.\nConclusion\nIt's hard to dismiss the growth opportunities some companies in China are presenting, especially after the recent decline in share prices. However, I believe shares of BABA are currently undervalued based on their current financial metrics and growth rates. China's economy and the amount of capital allocated to cloud service infrastructure are expected to grow substantially over the years. These will create powerful tailwinds for BABA throughout this decade. As a result, I think shareholders have been allowed to establish a BABA or dollar cost average position at a discounted price. I plan on continuing to add shares to my position while the market is discounting BABA.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":208,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":162146858,"gmtCreate":1624050938274,"gmtModify":1703827550046,"author":{"id":"3563073994012433","authorId":"3563073994012433","name":"samsjxregit","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563073994012433","authorIdStr":"3563073994012433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok...","listText":"Ok...","text":"Ok...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/162146858","repostId":"1103331073","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1103331073","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624029560,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1103331073?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-18 23:19","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"Commodities Bulls Nurse Their Wounds But Fight’s Not Over Yet","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1103331073","media":"bloomberg","summary":"The commodities boom has taken a knock this month, and while there are many reasons to still bet on ","content":"<p>The commodities boom has taken a knock this month, and while there are many reasons to still bet on a so-called supercyle, it’s unlikely to be plain sailing.</p>\n<p>Vast amounts of stimulus, economies reopening from the pandemic and strong Chinese demand have driven a surge in raw-material prices this year, some to record highs.

Yet they’ve slumped in the past two weeks -- with somewiping outgains for the year -- on a more hawkish U.S. monetary policy tone, China’s bid to cool inflation pressures and better weather for crops.\nWhile that’s blown away some of the speculative froth from the market, the big question is whether the latest commodities bull run has passed its peak or is just taking a breather.\nEither way, the direction may not be broad based, with each market having its own individual levers pushing and pulling. Copper traders need to balance a short-term cooling in China with long-termgreen-energy prospects. Oil’s dip could be limited by falling stockpiles and supply concerns, iron ore is being whipsawed by Chinese policies, while gold will largely be at the mercy of when Federal Reserve tapering starts.\n\n“I can still see a lot of inflationary pressures in the supply chain, and the reality is that it’s going up,” said Michael Widmer, head of metals research at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in London. “From a commodity-price perspective, I can see the structural argument still for prices to stay elevated or go higher going forward.”\nCopper\nTheyear-longrally to a record in May was sparked by surging Chinese demand, but there are signs orders from manufacturers are starting to wane.\nBulls are confident that the rest of the world will pick up the slack as renewable energy and electric-vehicle investment creates a step-change in demand in Europe and North America. Still, it could be a while before that spending makes its way to factory order books, and softer demand in the meantime could embolden bears who say current high prices aren’t justified by fundamentals.\nIron Ore\nIt might be particularly hard to predict the trajectory for iron ore, themost volatilecommodity right now. It surged to a record, collapsed into a bear market and then rebounded back into a bull market within a matter of weeks traders grappled with the murky outlook for demand in top consumer China.\nBoth bulls and bears are keeping a close eye on China’s simultaneous goals to contain the inflationary pressures stemming from high commodity prices and to make its vast steel sector greener. The country’s steel output is still on track to smashanother recordthis year, which might prompt further actions from authorities to restrict production and whipsaw iron ore yet again.\nAgriculture\nShowers across the U.S. corn belt and uncertainty over biofuel policy have helped send crop markets tumbling lately, but much more rain will be needed to ensure bumper harvests in one of the world’s top suppliers. More than a third of America’s corn and soybean area is suffering fromdrought, afterrecord-breakingheatwaves.\nShowers are set to span the U.S. Corn Belt on Saturday\nIt’s a China story on the demand side, with the nation’s huge imports sending crop and hog futures soaring in the past year. Major traders like Cargill Inc. and Viterra say crop markets are in a “mini-supercycle” that could last half a decade, driven by increased biofuel demand and continued Chinese buying.\nOil\nFocus is already turning to how sharply demand will recover over the summer. While there are signs the U.S. is leading the way as western economies reopen, the spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus, first identified in India, is raising renewed concern about the path for consumption in parts of Asia.\nFor now, it looks as though the market is going to need extra supply in the second half of the year. The OPEC+ group is yet to confirm plans for production beyond July, while U.S. shale producers continue to preach discipline as they’remaking moneyagain. All the more reason then, that the focus is so intense on when the market will see Iranian supply return astalks with the U.S.continue.\nGold\nBullion is more susceptible to Federal Reserve actions than perhaps any other commodity. It tumbled to the lowest since early May after the U.S. central bank signaledmonetary policy tighteningcould start earlier than expected and the dollar jumped.\n\nAlthough the precious metal is often bought as a hedge against inflation, the Fed signaled this week that higher-than-expected inflation would not be allowed to persist, opening up the door for faster stimulus tapering. That weighs on the appeal of non-interest bearing gold. UBS Group AG forecasts prices at $1,600 an ounce by year-end, compared with about $1,780 now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":312,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":161105370,"gmtCreate":1623908495590,"gmtModify":1703823261171,"author":{"id":"3563073994012433","authorId":"3563073994012433","name":"samsjxregit","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563073994012433","authorIdStr":"3563073994012433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/161105370","repostId":"2144771148","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2144771148","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1623901369,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2144771148?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-17 11:42","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Baidu's Apollo aims to offer robotaxi service to 3 mln users in 2023","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2144771148","media":"Reuters","summary":"BEIJING, June 17 (Reuters) - Chinese tech giant Baidu\nsaid on Thursday its smart driving unit Apollo","content":"<p>BEIJING, June 17 (Reuters) - Chinese tech giant Baidu</p>\n<p>said on Thursday its smart driving unit Apollo plans to cater to a total of 3 million users in China with a fleet of 3,000 robotaxis in 2023.</p>\n<p>Baidu also announced that it is partnering with BAIC Group’s electric vehicle <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EV\">$(EV)$</a> brand ARCFOX to develop Apollo Moon, EV robotaxis that are set to be mass-produced at a cost of 480,000 yuan ($74,766.36) per unit.</p>\n<p>The duo will produce 1,000 Apollo Moon EVs in the next three years, Baidu told a press conference in Beijing.</p>\n<p> ($1 = 6.4200 Chinese yuan renminbi)</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Just the slightest touching on those brakes has the effect of hurting markets because of where they’re priced, and also passing through to the economy.”</p>\n<p>Dalio spoke in a conversation with Summers at the Qatar Economic Forum Monday.</p>\n<p>Fed officials surprised markets last week by accelerating their timeline for potential interest-rate increases. They also raised their inflation expectations for the next three years and have started to discuss when and how to pare back from their $120 billion in monthly asset purchases. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 3.5% last week, the biggest drop since October.</p>\n<p>“I welcome the Fed’s limited efforts to mark its views toward reality and a growing awareness that this overheating is likely to necessitate a monetary policy response,” Summers said Monday. “People should not just modify their forecasts but should think about what their errors of thinking were that led them to be so far off in their forecasts.”</p>\n<p>Summers previouslysaidhe sees the Fed in a “different place” on inflation than before -- that it now acknowledges the threat of more persistent price growth. Policy makers raised their estimate for core inflation this year to 3% at last week’s meeting, up from 2.2% in March.</p>\n<p>“Much of the consensus of professional forecasters in February was that we would have inflation just above 2% this year,” said Summers, who is also a professor at Harvard University and a paid contributor to Bloomberg. “We’ve already had more inflation than that in the first five months of the year.”</p>\n<p>Dalio, meanwhile, said he’s less concerned with a potential 3% inflation rate and is more worried about the rising prices of financial assets. The S&amp;P 500 halted a four-day slide on Monday and the Dow Jones is on pace for its biggest one-day jump since March.</p>\n<p>“There’s a massive amount of liquidity around, and it’s being thrown around so that it’s a difficult environment for those returns to be justified,” Dalio said. “I think we’re building kind of a bubble.”</p>","source":"lsy1584095487587","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Just the slightest touching on those brakes has the effect of hurting markets because of where they’re priced, and also passing through to the economy.”\nDalio spoke in a conversation with Summers at the Qatar Economic Forum Monday.\nFed officials surprised markets last week by accelerating their timeline for potential interest-rate increases. They also raised their inflation expectations for the next three years and have started to discuss when and how to pare back from their $120 billion in monthly asset purchases. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 3.5% last week, the biggest drop since October.\n“I welcome the Fed’s limited efforts to mark its views toward reality and a growing awareness that this overheating is likely to necessitate a monetary policy response,” Summers said Monday. “People should not just modify their forecasts but should think about what their errors of thinking were that led them to be so far off in their forecasts.”\nSummers previouslysaidhe sees the Fed in a “different place” on inflation than before -- that it now acknowledges the threat of more persistent price growth. Policy makers raised their estimate for core inflation this year to 3% at last week’s meeting, up from 2.2% in March.\n“Much of the consensus of professional forecasters in February was that we would have inflation just above 2% this year,” said Summers, who is also a professor at Harvard University and a paid contributor to Bloomberg. “We’ve already had more inflation than that in the first five months of the year.”\nDalio, meanwhile, said he’s less concerned with a potential 3% inflation rate and is more worried about the rising prices of financial assets. The S&P 500 halted a four-day slide on Monday and the Dow Jones is on pace for its biggest one-day jump since March.\n“There’s a massive amount of liquidity around, and it’s being thrown around so that it’s a difficult environment for those returns to be justified,” Dalio said. “I think we’re building kind of a bubble.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":271,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":162070731,"gmtCreate":1624029387923,"gmtModify":1703827144119,"author":{"id":"3563073994012433","authorId":"3563073994012433","name":"samsjxregit","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563073994012433","authorIdStr":"3563073994012433"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Chiong ah","listText":"Chiong ah","text":"Chiong ah","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/162070731","repostId":"2141559472","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2141559472","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623102660,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2141559472?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-08 05:51","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Holicity Inc.

Amazon is split into 3 segments: North America, International, and AWS.</p>\n<p>As a market leader in 2 high growth industries (E-commerce and cloud computing), Amazon will probably continue to see high growth in the future. In this section, I looked at the past revenue growth and operating margins for each of Amazon's segments, and I used this to make conservative future projections.</p>\n<p>And later, I added up the numbers from each segment to make projections for the whole company.

This segment's revenue comes from retail sales and subscription service revenues.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ce022c0ecacc3829cf83378211bbfd9d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"192\"><span>Source: Author with data from 2018 10-K,2019 10-K, and 2020 10-K</span></p>\n<p>I projected declining revenue growth and strong operating margins for this segment. I projected slower revenue growth, because I figure there has to be a cap on how much money Amazon can make in North America.</p>\n<p>Hopefully, Amazon will exceed this revenue growth. But, I do think it would be a pretty incredible feat for Amazon to grow from $200B in revenue to $400B in 5 years.</p>\n<p>Here's a look at Amazon's International segment:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f3d7a5bde370f55e863f58c888abc496\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"219\"><span>Source: Author with data from 2018 10-K,2019 10-K, and 2020 10-K</span></p>\n<p>For Amazon's international segment, I projected 20% annual revenue growth, and improving operating margins.

I projected that the AWS segment will probably continue to grow at a high rate. I projected a 25-30% annual revenue growth rate because cloud computing has a lot of room to grow, and according to Research and Markets, the cloud computing industry should grow at about&nbsp;17.5% CAGR&nbsp;until 2025.</p>\n<p>Additionally, I projected 28% operating margins, because the AWS business benefits from operating leverage.
