But there are older tech stocks out there that still represent innovation.</p>\n<p>While ARK favorites like&nbsp;<b>Tesla</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>),<b>Coinbase</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>COIN</u></b>) and&nbsp;<b>Zoom Video</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>ZM</u></b>) look overvalued, investors may be missing some bargains. These companies were big long before the cloud was even a gleam in&nbsp;<b>Amazon</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>) CEO Jeff Bezos’ eye.</p>\n<p>The fact is that once you’re a tech company, you’re a tech company. Tech stocks with generations of history may be getting left for dead by go-go investors. But there may still be profits in them.</p>\n<p>I spent the last week looking at some of these older names. I wanted to know about their current plans to<i>disrupt the disrupters</i>and make investors some money.</p>\n<p>I started with the one of oldest tech companies and closed with some newer names recently left by the wayside. In every case, I asked the same question: does this company have a story about tomorrow that investors should be listening to today?</p>\n<p>Of course, I probably didn’t find the next Coinbase here. But I do think I found some solid opportunities for long-term investors<i>to make some coin</i>.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>NCR</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>NCR</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>IBM</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>IBM</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Verizon</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>VZ</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Intel</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>INTC</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Dell</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>DELL</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Baidu</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>BIDU</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Alibaba</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>BABA</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Tech Stocks to Consider: NCR (NCR)</b></p>\n<p>NCR was one of the first technology companies in the States and it’s&nbsp;bidding to become relevant again.</p>\n<p>Called National Cash Register, the company failed as a mainframe computer competitor to IBM, whose founding CEO had learned his trade there. Somewhat recently, though, it moved to Atlanta — the heart of the modern credit-card processing industry.</p>\n<p>Now NCR wants to be that industry’s front end. Yesterday’s cash register is today’s transaction terminal. NCR dominates the hardware used in that business, making both automated teller machines (ATMs) and credit-card-taking devices for restaurants.</p>\n<p>That as its base, NCR is becoming a fintech with a “digital first” strategy. This strategy includes&nbsp;buying&nbsp;<b>Cardtronics</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>CATM</u></b>), which has about 285,000 non-bank ATMs in the field. NCR can now upgrade those machines to provide more banking services. It will also provide services through&nbsp;JetPay&nbsp;processing, D3 mobile banking&nbsp;software&nbsp;and more.</p>\n<p>NCR stock has a market capitalization of $5.4 billion, which is still below last year’s revenue of $6.2 billion. That said, all five analysts following it on<i>Tipranks</i>now say this pick of the tech stocks is&nbsp;a buy.</p>\n<p><b>IBM (IBM)</b></p>\n<p>After I wrote about IBM&nbsp;recently, the company came out with quarterly earnings that surprised some people.</p>\n<p>The numbers weren’t outstanding, but they&nbsp;showed growth. This included 21% more cloud revenue and 17% growth at Red Hat, its cloud tools operation. IBM stock has risen somewhat since, currently trading hands at around $143. Today it has a market cap of about $128 billion.</p>\n<p>Arvind Krishna has been CEO of the company for a year now. His plan is to spin off the slow-growing services business as&nbsp;Kyndryl. IBM will then focus instead on the “hybrid cloud.” This means enterprise data centers run on cloud standards with software that lets companies use public clouds as well.</p>\n<p>Over the last year, the company has bought a half-dozen small cloud companies and launched industry clouds around&nbsp;fintech,construction&nbsp;and insurance. IBM has also refocused its attention on&nbsp;artificial intelligence&nbsp;(AI). It also wants toleave behind&nbsp;Watson Health, an AI technology company that failed to meet its growth targets.</p>\n<p>I’d be more interested in IBM if it dropped its dividend. Maybe that will go to Kyndryl. It should invest more in its growing cloud business. But there are analysts who are starting to&nbsp;believe&nbsp;in this pick of the tech stocks again.</p>\n<p><b>Verizon (VZ)</b></p>\n<p>Currently, Verizon is putting $60 billion into buying and building out new 5G frequencies, betting that this&nbsp;can&nbsp;lead it back to glory&nbsp;as one of the tech stocks.</p>\n<p>Investors have yet to buy the story. VZ stock is selling for just 11.5 times earnings despite a dividend yielding 4.3%. Now analysts are worried that the cost of 5G, on top of its current $122 billion in long-term debt, could sink the company. But big cloud players like Amazon and&nbsp;<b>Microsoft</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>MSFT</u></b>) recently signed&nbsp;long-term deals with Verizon, based in part on those 5G assets. Verizon plans to use this innovation to become a fresh tech company again.</p>\n<p>As with IBM, this is a story that will take years to play out. Right now, though, the stock is dirt cheap. The company will even pay you to own it. So, it’s both an income stock and, potentially, a growth stock.</p>\n<p><b>Intel (INTC)</b></p>\n<p>After decades spent losing its leadership in semiconductors to foreign competitors, Intel is&nbsp;plotting a comeback. CEO Patrick Gelsinger is the man leading that return.</p>\n<p>Gelsinger’s plan is to make Intel a leading-edge foundry that can make other companies’ chips. At the same time, it will seek new ways to compete with its own designs. It’s a plan that dovetails nicely with President Joe Biden’s “American Jobs Plan,” which sees domestic production of vital products like semiconductors as&nbsp;essential to competitiveness.</p>\n<p>The key for Intel is a $20 billion investment in&nbsp;two new chipmaking plants&nbsp;in Arizona. This is part of an effort to&nbsp;match&nbsp;the process technology of&nbsp;<b>Taiwan Semiconductor</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>TSM</u></b>), a leader in the space.</p>\n<p>The investment is&nbsp;easy to justify, as prices for what Intel makes are firm. The global chip shortage is now expected to run into next year.</p>\n<p>All this makes INTC stock cheap among the tech stocks. Its forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 13.64, its dividend yield is 2.22% and its forward price-to-sales (P/S) ratio is 3.51. Meanwhile, customers like&nbsp;<b>Alphabet</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>GOOG</u></b>, NASDAQ:<b><u>GOOGL</u></b>) currently sell for about double that P/S.</p>\n<p>True, the “Cloud Czars” might be a threat, designing their own chips, but they all need foundries to make those chips. That’s what Intel is becoming — a foundry.</p>\n<p><b>Dell (DELL)</b></p>\n<p>In 2013, Dell was a laggard. It made commodity PCs that had trouble competing with Chinese models on both price and performance.</p>\n<p>But then came a huge investment from&nbsp;<b>Silver Lake</b>, which helped founder Michael Dell take the company private. Next, the new Dell bought EMC and its Vmware unit. Now, the company is bigger, better and&nbsp;more profitable&nbsp;than ever.</p>\n<p>Michael Dell’s personal fortune&nbsp;crossed $50 billionwhen the company announced it would&nbsp;spin out&nbsp;<b>Vmware</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>VMW</u></b>), of which the company owns 81%. This decision will let the company collect a dividend of over $9 billion to pay down debt. That news recently sent shares up over 10% to a high around $103.</p>\n<p>Beyond Vmware, Dell also plans to start offering its&nbsp;hardware as a service, turning what had been sales into essentially subscription income. Additionally, it has launched a&nbsp;backup service. Finally, it’s collecting&nbsp;outsourcing contracts&nbsp;from companies like&nbsp;<b>Boeing</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>BA</u></b>).</p>\n<p>These actions now have analysts pounding the table for DELL stock. For example, nine of the 12 analysts following it on&nbsp;<i>Tipranks</i>&nbsp;are calling it&nbsp;a buy. There’s even a recent upgrade for this one of the tech stocks from Goldman Sachs.</p>\n<p><b>Baidu (BIDU)</b></p>\n<p>Once known as “China’s Google,” Baidu is&nbsp;starting to look interesting again. The company is one of its country’s biggest cloud players. What’s more, CEO Robin Li has wisely spun-out many of Baidu’s more interesting services, such as the&nbsp;<b>Iqiyi</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>IQ</u></b>) video service. This has kept Baidu out of the antitrust trap that China’s government laid for rivals.</p>\n<p>Today, BIDU stock sports a market cap of $72 billion, a forward P/S ratio of 3.78 and a forward P/E ratio of 19.98. It also faces tension on both sides of the Pacific, promising to obey the&nbsp;new rules of the government&nbsp;while also running the&nbsp;risk of being delisted&nbsp;in the United States.</p>\n<p>But it’s this weakness — made worse by&nbsp;the collapse of Archegos Capital, a big holder of BIDU stock — that may make this name a bargain. Cathie Wood’s ARK Innovation Fund recently took a&nbsp;big position&nbsp;in Baidu. Smaller investors may want to follow her lead with this one of the tech stocks.</p>\n<p>After all, you don’t make money buying a stock at the top — you make it buying good companies near their lows.</p>\n<p><b>Alibaba (BABA)</b></p>\n<p>A curious thing happened after China’s government announced a $2.8 billion antitrust fine against Alibaba. The shares of this one of the tech stocks&nbsp;rose.</p>\n<p>BABA stock didn’t hold all those gains, of course, trading today at around $229 per share. However, it remains one of China’s most valuable companies, with a market cap of $636 billion. It also has a significant cloud presence outside of its home market; Alibaba Cloud recently passed IBM in&nbsp;cloud market share&nbsp;and competes head-to-head with Amazon&nbsp;in the Asia-Pacific region.</p>\n<p>That said, China’s recent regulations bring the actions of Alibaba and other large tech companies into closer conformance with American regulations. For instance, Amazon couldn’t keep merchants from selling on&nbsp;<b>Walmart</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>WMT</u></b>) the way Alibaba had been keeping its merchants off&nbsp;<b>JD.com</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>JD</u></b>).</p>\n<p>As with Baidu, though, this company’s short-term weakness may be a long-term opportunity. The stock is down about one-third from its highs. However, even though it’s a retailer, the company’s profitability is similar to that of&nbsp;<b>Facebook</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>FB</u></b>).</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>7 Old Tech Stocks Plotting a New Tech Comeback</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n7 Old Tech Stocks Plotting a New Tech Comeback\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-22 20:40 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/04/hot-stocks-seven-old-tech-stocks-plotting-new-tech-comeback/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Some older tech companies are offering bargains while newer ones look overpriced\nSource: Shutterstock\n\nEveryone loves the disrupters Cathie Wood buys for her ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA:ARKK).

IBM will then focus instead on the “hybrid cloud.” This means enterprise data centers run on cloud standards with software that lets companies use public clouds as well.\nOver the last year, the company has bought a half-dozen small cloud companies and launched industry clouds around fintech,construction and insurance. IBM has also refocused its attention on artificial intelligence (AI). It also wants toleave behind Watson Health, an AI technology company that failed to meet its growth targets.\nI’d be more interested in IBM if it dropped its dividend. Maybe that will go to Kyndryl. It should invest more in its growing cloud business. But there are analysts who are starting to believe in this pick of the tech stocks again.\nVerizon (VZ)\nCurrently, Verizon is putting $60 billion into buying and building out new 5G frequencies, betting that this can lead it back to glory as one of the tech stocks.\nInvestors have yet to buy the story. VZ stock is selling for just 11.5 times earnings despite a dividend yielding 4.3%. Now analysts are worried that the cost of 5G, on top of its current $122 billion in long-term debt, could sink the company. But big cloud players like Amazon and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) recently signed long-term deals with Verizon, based in part on those 5G assets. Verizon plans to use this innovation to become a fresh tech company again.\nAs with IBM, this is a story that will take years to play out. Right now, though, the stock is dirt cheap. The company will even pay you to own it. So, it’s both an income stock and, potentially, a growth stock.\nIntel (INTC)\nAfter decades spent losing its leadership in semiconductors to foreign competitors, Intel is plotting a comeback. CEO Patrick Gelsinger is the man leading that return.\nGelsinger’s plan is to make Intel a leading-edge foundry that can make other companies’ chips. At the same time, it will seek new ways to compete with its own designs. It’s a plan that dovetails nicely with President Joe Biden’s “American Jobs Plan,” which sees domestic production of vital products like semiconductors as essential to competitiveness.\nThe key for Intel is a $20 billion investment in two new chipmaking plants in Arizona. This is part of an effort to match the process technology of Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:TSM), a leader in the space.\nThe investment is easy to justify, as prices for what Intel makes are firm. The global chip shortage is now expected to run into next year.\nAll this makes INTC stock cheap among the tech stocks. Its forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 13.64, its dividend yield is 2.22% and its forward price-to-sales (P/S) ratio is 3.51. Meanwhile, customers like Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) currently sell for about double that P/S.\nTrue, the “Cloud Czars” might be a threat, designing their own chips, but they all need foundries to make those chips. That’s what Intel is becoming — a foundry.\nDell (DELL)\nIn 2013, Dell was a laggard. It made commodity PCs that had trouble competing with Chinese models on both price and performance.\nBut then came a huge investment from Silver Lake, which helped founder Michael Dell take the company private. Next, the new Dell bought EMC and its Vmware unit. Now, the company is bigger, better and more profitable than ever.\nMichael Dell’s personal fortune crossed $50 billionwhen the company announced it would spin out Vmware (NYSE:VMW), of which the company owns 81%. This decision will let the company collect a dividend of over $9 billion to pay down debt. That news recently sent shares up over 10% to a high around $103.\nBeyond Vmware, Dell also plans to start offering its hardware as a service, turning what had been sales into essentially subscription income. Additionally, it has launched a backup service. Finally, it’s collecting outsourcing contracts from companies like Boeing (NYSE:BA).\nThese actions now have analysts pounding the table for DELL stock. For example, nine of the 12 analysts following it on Tipranks are calling it a buy. There’s even a recent upgrade for this one of the tech stocks from Goldman Sachs.\nBaidu (BIDU)\nOnce known as “China’s Google,” Baidu is starting to look interesting again. The company is one of its country’s biggest cloud players. What’s more, CEO Robin Li has wisely spun-out many of Baidu’s more interesting services, such as the Iqiyi (NASDAQ:IQ) video service. This has kept Baidu out of the antitrust trap that China’s government laid for rivals.\nToday, BIDU stock sports a market cap of $72 billion, a forward P/S ratio of 3.78 and a forward P/E ratio of 19.98. It also faces tension on both sides of the Pacific, promising to obey the new rules of the government while also running the risk of being delisted in the United States.\nBut it’s this weakness — made worse by the collapse of Archegos Capital, a big holder of BIDU stock — that may make this name a bargain. Cathie Wood’s ARK Innovation Fund recently took a big position in Baidu. Smaller investors may want to follow her lead with this one of the tech stocks.\nAfter all, you don’t make money buying a stock at the top — you make it buying good companies near their lows.\nAlibaba (BABA)\nA curious thing happened after China’s government announced a $2.8 billion antitrust fine against Alibaba. The shares of this one of the tech stocks rose.\nBABA stock didn’t hold all those gains, of course, trading today at around $229 per share. However, it remains one of China’s most valuable companies, with a market cap of $636 billion. It also has a significant cloud presence outside of its home market; Alibaba Cloud recently passed IBM in cloud market share and competes head-to-head with Amazon in the Asia-Pacific region.\nThat said, China’s recent regulations bring the actions of Alibaba and other large tech companies into closer conformance with American regulations. For instance, Amazon couldn’t keep merchants from selling on Walmart (NYSE:WMT) the way Alibaba had been keeping its merchants off JD.com (NASDAQ:JD).\nAs with Baidu, though, this company’s short-term weakness may be a long-term opportunity. The stock is down about one-third from its highs. However, even though it’s a retailer, the company’s profitability is similar to that of Facebook (NASDAQ:FB).","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":419,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":378876985,"gmtCreate":1619018641047,"gmtModify":1704718445094,"author":{"id":"3563493932971824","authorId":"3563493932971824","name":"JMA","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563493932971824","authorIdStr":"3563493932971824"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"article itself is a good read, but translation is a joke.","listText":"article itself is a good read, but translation is a joke.","text":"article itself is a good read, but translation is a joke.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/378876985","repostId":"1174051099","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1174051099","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618998028,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1174051099?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-21 17:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Despite Short-Term Pain, Baidu Stock Is a Buy for Long-Term Growth","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1174051099","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"BIDU's investments in artificial intelligence and electric vehicles make it attractive\nBaidu (NASDAQ","content":"<p>BIDU's investments in artificial intelligence and electric vehicles make it attractive</p>\n<p><b>Baidu</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>BIDU</u></b>) saw its shares surge to an all-time high of $354.82 in February.

Stocks recently featured in the blog include: Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Ltd BCAUY, Baidu, Inc. BIDU, Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd. IMPUY and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd. RDY.</p>\n<h3><strong>Here are highlights from Monday’s Analyst Blog:</strong></h3>\n<h3><strong><em>4 Emerging Market Stocks to Tap 2021 Economic Rebound</em></strong></h3>\n<p>The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development or OECD recently came out with a forecast for 2021, which has kept emerging-market stock watchers buoyant for the coming year. The prediction says that the global economy, which is expected to recover to the pre-pandemic level in 2021, will be primarily led by strong recoveries in emerging economies, particularly Asian nations like China, Indonesia and South Korea based on their efficient pandemic handling.</p>\n<p>India, which faced a severe GDP contraction of an estimated 9.9% this year, is expected to rebound pretty well in 2021 on a projected recovery rate of 7.9% banking on suitable execution of fiscal support, which should lead to slow but gradual recovery of the job market. Although the OECD projection remained insipid for Brazil (from an estimated 6% slash in 2020 to only a projected 2.6% GDP growth for 2021), on closer examination, some economists do offer a glimmer of hope banking on the fact that Brazil’s domestic demand strongly recovered in the third quarter ( real GDP growth was 7.7%).</p>\n<p>Russia’s GDP reduction in 2020 was broadly in line with the global contraction (down 4.3%). This is expected to see a rebound of 2.8% in the coming year. Outside the OECD members, Thailand, Taiwan, Philippines are expected to prove as the big movers of 2021.</p>\n<h3><strong>2020 FDI Synopsis of Emerging Markets</strong></h3>\n<p>The above data and projections are a bit at odds to what exactly the emerging market has gone through during the pandemic so far. Apart from China, all the heavyweight emerging economies faced significant downturn in this period despite these countries’ anti-crisis efforts in the form of monetary and fiscal measures.</p>\n<p>Per UNCTAD’s (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) Oct 27-published report, global foreign direct investment (FDI) flow in the first half of 2020 fell 49% year over year due to the unprecedented economic rout. Amid the pandemic, lockdowns, restricted trades, supply disruptions and economic slowdown, multinational enterprises started to restrain from opting for new FDI projects investment projects.</p>\n<p>FDI flow to developing economies declined 16% in the first half of 2020. Flows to economies in transition were down 81% due to a strong decline in the Russian Federation.  In Russia, the ongoing geo- political risks, combined with uncertainty around the second wave of the pandemic and limited amount of anti-crisis stimulus are expected to have hit hard FDI investors’ sentiment.</p>\n<p>As investment in China remained robust, the percentage decline in Asia was overall decent (down 12%). Another emerging Asian economy, India, following 20% FDI growth in 2019, was initially expected to experience an FDI free fall through 2020. However, a per different local news sources, banking on relaxed FDI norms, during April-September 2020, India attracted FDI worth $7.12 billion from the United States while $8.30 billion of foreign inflows came from Singapore.</p>\n<p>However, FDI was 28% lower in Africa and 25% lower in Latin America and the Caribbean.</p>\n<h3><strong>2021 FDI Prospects Bullish</strong></h3>\n<p>According to UNCTAD, despite the 2020 drop, FDI remains the most important source of external finance for developing countries. UNCTAD’s two biggest indicators of future FDI — cross-border acquisitions and green-field investment projects roadmap for 2021 — seem to be quite bright at this moment. Although the execution depends primarily on a successful rollout and phase wise distribution of vaccination across these highly populated regions, the outlook for emerging economies remains upbeat.</p>\n<p>As stated earlier, banking on the quickest recovery from the pandemic, China’s 2020 FDI inflow report itself was extremely impressive. China’s Ministry of Commerce data says (as published in China Briefing), FDI inflow into China rose 5.2% in the first nine months of 2020. There were 22,602 foreign-invested enterprises (FIE) having newly established by the end of August. In September alone, FDI inflows into the country were up 25.1% year over year. Companies like ExxoMobil, BMW and Toyota increased their investment in China in 2020. Economists are of the belief that with gradual recovery through 2021, this trend is expected to see a further jump.</p>\n<p>India is expected to remain a happy hunting ground for foreign investors through 2021 banking on cheap labor cost and low corporate tax (15%). Nomura recently stated India to be the fastest growing Asian economy in 2021 with a projected growth rate of 9.9% (published in India Briefing), exceeding OECD’s projection.  In this regard, recently the government of India cleared a list of firms including Apple’s three major manufacturing partners — Foxconn, Wistron, and Pegatron, along with Samsung for a $143 billion Make-in-India Plan. </p>\n<p>Brazil too is expected to show a better picture in terms of FDI inflow the next year. Data published in The Street report says, there was a significant inflow of funds in the external financial account in October and November for investments in both stocks and fixed income instruments. However, whether this recovery will continue or not depends on the extent to which Brazil regains its attractiveness for foreign investors, banking on its upcoming fiscal and monetary agenda.</p>\n<p><strong>Our Choices</strong></p>\n<p>Adding stocks from these countries would make for a prudent choice. We have narrowed our search to the following four stocks based on a favorable Zacks Rank and/or solid metrics. You can see <strong>the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here</strong>.</p>\n<p><strong>Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Ltd</strong>: This is an investment holding company that manufactures and sells BMW vehicles and automotive components in the People's Republic of China and internationally. The stock carries a Zacks Rank #1. Its 2021 sales and earnings growth is pegged at 6.9% and 6.5%, respectively.

Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include: Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Ltd BCAUY, Baidu, Inc. BIDU, Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd. IMPUY and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd. RDY.\nHere are highlights from Monday’s Analyst Blog:\n4 Emerging Market Stocks to Tap 2021 Economic Rebound\nThe Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development or OECD recently came out with a forecast for 2021, which has kept emerging-market stock watchers buoyant for the coming year. The prediction says that the global economy, which is expected to recover to the pre-pandemic level in 2021, will be primarily led by strong recoveries in emerging economies, particularly Asian nations like China, Indonesia and South Korea based on their efficient pandemic handling.\nIndia, which faced a severe GDP contraction of an estimated 9.9% this year, is expected to rebound pretty well in 2021 on a projected recovery rate of 7.9% banking on suitable execution of fiscal support, which should lead to slow but gradual recovery of the job market. Although the OECD projection remained insipid for Brazil (from an estimated 6% slash in 2020 to only a projected 2.6% GDP growth for 2021), on closer examination, some economists do offer a glimmer of hope banking on the fact that Brazil’s domestic demand strongly recovered in the third quarter ( real GDP growth was 7.7%).\nRussia’s GDP reduction in 2020 was broadly in line with the global contraction (down 4.3%). This is expected to see a rebound of 2.8% in the coming year. Outside the OECD members, Thailand, Taiwan, Philippines are expected to prove as the big movers of 2021.\n2020 FDI Synopsis of Emerging Markets\nThe above data and projections are a bit at odds to what exactly the emerging market has gone through during the pandemic so far. Apart from China, all the heavyweight emerging economies faced significant downturn in this period despite these countries’ anti-crisis efforts in the form of monetary and fiscal measures.\nPer UNCTAD’s (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) Oct 27-published report, global foreign direct investment (FDI) flow in the first half of 2020 fell 49% year over year due to the unprecedented economic rout. Amid the pandemic, lockdowns, restricted trades, supply disruptions and economic slowdown, multinational enterprises started to restrain from opting for new FDI projects investment projects.\nFDI flow to developing economies declined 16% in the first half of 2020. Flows to economies in transition were down 81% due to a strong decline in the Russian Federation.  In Russia, the ongoing geo- political risks, combined with uncertainty around the second wave of the pandemic and limited amount of anti-crisis stimulus are expected to have hit hard FDI investors’ sentiment.\nAs investment in China remained robust, the percentage decline in Asia was overall decent (down 12%). Another emerging Asian economy, India, following 20% FDI growth in 2019, was initially expected to experience an FDI free fall through 2020. However, a per different local news sources, banking on relaxed FDI norms, during April-September 2020, India attracted FDI worth $7.12 billion from the United States while $8.30 billion of foreign inflows came from Singapore.\nHowever, FDI was 28% lower in Africa and 25% lower in Latin America and the Caribbean.\n2021 FDI Prospects Bullish\nAccording to UNCTAD, despite the 2020 drop, FDI remains the most important source of external finance for developing countries. UNCTAD’s two biggest indicators of future FDI — cross-border acquisitions and green-field investment projects roadmap for 2021 — seem to be quite bright at this moment. Although the execution depends primarily on a successful rollout and phase wise distribution of vaccination across these highly populated regions, the outlook for emerging economies remains upbeat.\nAs stated earlier, banking on the quickest recovery from the pandemic, China’s 2020 FDI inflow report itself was extremely impressive. China’s Ministry of Commerce data says (as published in China Briefing), FDI inflow into China rose 5.2% in the first nine months of 2020. There were 22,602 foreign-invested enterprises (FIE) having newly established by the end of August. In September alone, FDI inflows into the country were up 25.1% year over year. Companies like ExxoMobil, BMW and Toyota increased their investment in China in 2020. Economists are of the belief that with gradual recovery through 2021, this trend is expected to see a further jump.\nIndia is expected to remain a happy hunting ground for foreign investors through 2021 banking on cheap labor cost and low corporate tax (15%). Nomura recently stated India to be the fastest growing Asian economy in 2021 with a projected growth rate of 9.9% (published in India Briefing), exceeding OECD’s projection.  In this regard, recently the government of India cleared a list of firms including Apple’s three major manufacturing partners — Foxconn, Wistron, and Pegatron, along with Samsung for a $143 billion Make-in-India Plan. \nBrazil too is expected to show a better picture in terms of FDI inflow the next year. Data published in The Street report says, there was a significant inflow of funds in the external financial account in October and November for investments in both stocks and fixed income instruments. However, whether this recovery will continue or not depends on the extent to which Brazil regains its attractiveness for foreign investors, banking on its upcoming fiscal and monetary agenda.\nOur Choices\nAdding stocks from these countries would make for a prudent choice.

These companies were big long before the cloud was even a gleam in&nbsp;<b>Amazon</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>) CEO Jeff Bezos’ eye.</p>\n<p>The fact is that once you’re a tech company, you’re a tech company. Tech stocks with generations of history may be getting left for dead by go-go investors. But there may still be profits in them.</p>\n<p>I spent the last week looking at some of these older names. I wanted to know about their current plans to<i>disrupt the disrupters</i>and make investors some money.</p>\n<p>I started with the one of oldest tech companies and closed with some newer names recently left by the wayside. In every case, I asked the same question: does this company have a story about tomorrow that investors should be listening to today?</p>\n<p>Of course, I probably didn’t find the next Coinbase here. But I do think I found some solid opportunities for long-term investors<i>to make some coin</i>.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>NCR</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>NCR</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>IBM</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>IBM</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Verizon</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>VZ</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Intel</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>INTC</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Dell</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>DELL</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Baidu</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>BIDU</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Alibaba</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>BABA</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Tech Stocks to Consider: NCR (NCR)</b></p>\n<p>NCR was one of the first technology companies in the States and it’s&nbsp;bidding to become relevant again.</p>\n<p>Called National Cash Register, the company failed as a mainframe computer competitor to IBM, whose founding CEO had learned his trade there. Somewhat recently, though, it moved to Atlanta — the heart of the modern credit-card processing industry.</p>\n<p>Now NCR wants to be that industry’s front end. Yesterday’s cash register is today’s transaction terminal. NCR dominates the hardware used in that business, making both automated teller machines (ATMs) and credit-card-taking devices for restaurants.</p>\n<p>That as its base, NCR is becoming a fintech with a “digital first” strategy. This strategy includes&nbsp;buying&nbsp;<b>Cardtronics</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>CATM</u></b>), which has about 285,000 non-bank ATMs in the field. NCR can now upgrade those machines to provide more banking services. It will also provide services through&nbsp;JetPay&nbsp;processing, D3 mobile banking&nbsp;software&nbsp;and more.</p>\n<p>NCR stock has a market capitalization of $5.4 billion, which is still below last year’s revenue of $6.2 billion. That said, all five analysts following it on<i>Tipranks</i>now say this pick of the tech stocks is&nbsp;a buy.</p>\n<p><b>IBM (IBM)</b></p>\n<p>After I wrote about IBM&nbsp;recently, the company came out with quarterly earnings that surprised some people.</p>\n<p>The numbers weren’t outstanding, but they&nbsp;showed growth. This included 21% more cloud revenue and 17% growth at Red Hat, its cloud tools operation. IBM stock has risen somewhat since, currently trading hands at around $143. Today it has a market cap of about $128 billion.</p>\n<p>Arvind Krishna has been CEO of the company for a year now. His plan is to spin off the slow-growing services business as&nbsp;Kyndryl. IBM will then focus instead on the “hybrid cloud.” This means enterprise data centers run on cloud standards with software that lets companies use public clouds as well.</p>\n<p>Over the last year, the company has bought a half-dozen small cloud companies and launched industry clouds around&nbsp;fintech,construction&nbsp;and insurance. IBM has also refocused its attention on&nbsp;artificial intelligence&nbsp;(AI). It also wants toleave behind&nbsp;Watson Health, an AI technology company that failed to meet its growth targets.</p>\n<p>I’d be more interested in IBM if it dropped its dividend. Maybe that will go to Kyndryl. It should invest more in its growing cloud business. But there are analysts who are starting to&nbsp;believe&nbsp;in this pick of the tech stocks again.</p>\n<p><b>Verizon (VZ)</b></p>\n<p>Currently, Verizon is putting $60 billion into buying and building out new 5G frequencies, betting that this&nbsp;can&nbsp;lead it back to glory&nbsp;as one of the tech stocks.</p>\n<p>Investors have yet to buy the story. VZ stock is selling for just 11.5 times earnings despite a dividend yielding 4.3%. Now analysts are worried that the cost of 5G, on top of its current $122 billion in long-term debt, could sink the company. But big cloud players like Amazon and&nbsp;<b>Microsoft</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>MSFT</u></b>) recently signed&nbsp;long-term deals with Verizon, based in part on those 5G assets. Verizon plans to use this innovation to become a fresh tech company again.</p>\n<p>As with IBM, this is a story that will take years to play out. Right now, though, the stock is dirt cheap. The company will even pay you to own it. So, it’s both an income stock and, potentially, a growth stock.</p>\n<p><b>Intel (INTC)</b></p>\n<p>After decades spent losing its leadership in semiconductors to foreign competitors, Intel is&nbsp;plotting a comeback. CEO Patrick Gelsinger is the man leading that return.</p>\n<p>Gelsinger’s plan is to make Intel a leading-edge foundry that can make other companies’ chips. At the same time, it will seek new ways to compete with its own designs. It’s a plan that dovetails nicely with President Joe Biden’s “American Jobs Plan,” which sees domestic production of vital products like semiconductors as&nbsp;essential to competitiveness.</p>\n<p>The key for Intel is a $20 billion investment in&nbsp;two new chipmaking plants&nbsp;in Arizona. This is part of an effort to&nbsp;match&nbsp;the process technology of&nbsp;<b>Taiwan Semiconductor</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>TSM</u></b>), a leader in the space.</p>\n<p>The investment is&nbsp;easy to justify, as prices for what Intel makes are firm. The global chip shortage is now expected to run into next year.</p>\n<p>All this makes INTC stock cheap among the tech stocks. Its forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 13.64, its dividend yield is 2.22% and its forward price-to-sales (P/S) ratio is 3.51. Meanwhile, customers like&nbsp;<b>Alphabet</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>GOOG</u></b>, NASDAQ:<b><u>GOOGL</u></b>) currently sell for about double that P/S.</p>\n<p>True, the “Cloud Czars” might be a threat, designing their own chips, but they all need foundries to make those chips. That’s what Intel is becoming — a foundry.</p>\n<p><b>Dell (DELL)</b></p>\n<p>In 2013, Dell was a laggard. It made commodity PCs that had trouble competing with Chinese models on both price and performance.</p>\n<p>But then came a huge investment from&nbsp;<b>Silver Lake</b>, which helped founder Michael Dell take the company private. Next, the new Dell bought EMC and its Vmware unit.

But there are older tech stocks out there that still represent innovation.\nWhile ARK favorites like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA),Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) and Zoom Video (NASDAQ:ZM) look overvalued, investors may be missing some bargains. These companies were big long before the cloud was even a gleam in Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) CEO Jeff Bezos’ eye.\nThe fact is that once you’re a tech company, you’re a tech company. Tech stocks with generations of history may be getting left for dead by go-go investors. But there may still be profits in them.\nI spent the last week looking at some of these older names. I wanted to know about their current plans todisrupt the disruptersand make investors some money.\nI started with the one of oldest tech companies and closed with some newer names recently left by the wayside. In every case, I asked the same question: does this company have a story about tomorrow that investors should be listening to today?\nOf course, I probably didn’t find the next Coinbase here. But I do think I found some solid opportunities for long-term investorsto make some coin.\n\nNCR (NYSE:NCR)\nIBM (NYSE:IBM)\nVerizon (NYSE:VZ)\nIntel (NASDAQ:INTC)\nDell (NYSE:DELL)\nBaidu (NASDAQ:BIDU)\nAlibaba (NYSE:BABA)\n\nTech Stocks to Consider: NCR (NCR)\nNCR was one of the first technology companies in the States and it’s bidding to become relevant again.\nCalled National Cash Register, the company failed as a mainframe computer competitor to IBM, whose founding CEO had learned his trade there. Somewhat recently, though, it moved to Atlanta — the heart of the modern credit-card processing industry.\nNow NCR wants to be that industry’s front end. Yesterday’s cash register is today’s transaction terminal. NCR dominates the hardware used in that business, making both automated teller machines (ATMs) and credit-card-taking devices for restaurants.\nThat as its base, NCR is becoming a fintech with a “digital first” strategy. This strategy includes buying Cardtronics (NASDAQ:CATM), which has about 285,000 non-bank ATMs in the field. NCR can now upgrade those machines to provide more banking services. It will also provide services through JetPay processing, D3 mobile banking software and more.\nNCR stock has a market capitalization of $5.4 billion, which is still below last year’s revenue of $6.2 billion. That said, all five analysts following it onTipranksnow say this pick of the tech stocks is a buy.\nIBM (IBM)\nAfter I wrote about IBM recently, the company came out with quarterly earnings that surprised some people.\nThe numbers weren’t outstanding, but they showed growth. This included 21% more cloud revenue and 17% growth at Red Hat, its cloud tools operation. IBM stock has risen somewhat since, currently trading hands at around $143. Today it has a market cap of about $128 billion.\nArvind Krishna has been CEO of the company for a year now. His plan is to spin off the slow-growing services business as Kyndryl. IBM will then focus instead on the “hybrid cloud.” This means enterprise data centers run on cloud standards with software that lets companies use public clouds as well.\nOver the last year, the company has bought a half-dozen small cloud companies and launched industry clouds around fintech,construction and insurance. IBM has also refocused its attention on artificial intelligence (AI). It also wants toleave behind Watson Health, an AI technology company that failed to meet its growth targets.\nI’d be more interested in IBM if it dropped its dividend. Maybe that will go to Kyndryl. It should invest more in its growing cloud business. But there are analysts who are starting to believe in this pick of the tech stocks again.\nVerizon (VZ)\nCurrently, Verizon is putting $60 billion into buying and building out new 5G frequencies, betting that this can lead it back to glory as one of the tech stocks.\nInvestors have yet to buy the story. VZ stock is selling for just 11.5 times earnings despite a dividend yielding 4.3%. Now analysts are worried that the cost of 5G, on top of its current $122 billion in long-term debt, could sink the company. But big cloud players like Amazon and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) recently signed long-term deals with Verizon, based in part on those 5G assets. Verizon plans to use this innovation to become a fresh tech company again.\nAs with IBM, this is a story that will take years to play out. Right now, though, the stock is dirt cheap. The company will even pay you to own it. So, it’s both an income stock and, potentially, a growth stock.\nIntel (INTC)\nAfter decades spent losing its leadership in semiconductors to foreign competitors, Intel is plotting a comeback. CEO Patrick Gelsinger is the man leading that return.\nGelsinger’s plan is to make Intel a leading-edge foundry that can make other companies’ chips. At the same time, it will seek new ways to compete with its own designs. It’s a plan that dovetails nicely with President Joe Biden’s “American Jobs Plan,” which sees domestic production of vital products like semiconductors as essential to competitiveness.\nThe key for Intel is a $20 billion investment in two new chipmaking plants in Arizona. This is part of an effort to match the process technology of Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:TSM), a leader in the space.\nThe investment is easy to justify, as prices for what Intel makes are firm. The global chip shortage is now expected to run into next year.\nAll this makes INTC stock cheap among the tech stocks. Its forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 13.64, its dividend yield is 2.22% and its forward price-to-sales (P/S) ratio is 3.51. Meanwhile, customers like Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) currently sell for about double that P/S.\nTrue, the “Cloud Czars” might be a threat, designing their own chips, but they all need foundries to make those chips. That’s what Intel is becoming — a foundry.\nDell (DELL)\nIn 2013, Dell was a laggard. It made commodity PCs that had trouble competing with Chinese models on both price and performance.\nBut then came a huge investment from Silver Lake, which helped founder Michael Dell take the company private. Next, the new Dell bought EMC and its Vmware unit. Now, the company is bigger, better and more profitable than ever.\nMichael Dell’s personal fortune crossed $50 billionwhen the company announced it would spin out Vmware (NYSE:VMW), of which the company owns 81%. This decision will let the company collect a dividend of over $9 billion to pay down debt. That news recently sent shares up over 10% to a high around $103.\nBeyond Vmware, Dell also plans to start offering its hardware as a service, turning what had been sales into essentially subscription income. Additionally, it has launched a backup service. Finally, it’s collecting outsourcing contracts from companies like Boeing (NYSE:BA).\nThese actions now have analysts pounding the table for DELL stock. For example, nine of the 12 analysts following it on Tipranks are calling it a buy. There’s even a recent upgrade for this one of the tech stocks from Goldman Sachs.\nBaidu (BIDU)\nOnce known as “China’s Google,” Baidu is starting to look interesting again. The company is one of its country’s biggest cloud players. What’s more, CEO Robin Li has wisely spun-out many of Baidu’s more interesting services, such as the Iqiyi (NASDAQ:IQ) video service. This has kept Baidu out of the antitrust trap that China’s government laid for rivals.\nToday, BIDU stock sports a market cap of $72 billion, a forward P/S ratio of 3.78 and a forward P/E ratio of 19.98. It also faces tension on both sides of the Pacific, promising to obey the new rules of the government while also running the risk of being delisted in the United States.\nBut it’s this weakness — made worse by the collapse of Archegos Capital, a big holder of BIDU stock — that may make this name a bargain. Cathie Wood’s ARK Innovation Fund recently took a big position in Baidu. Smaller investors may want to follow her lead with this one of the tech stocks.\nAfter all, you don’t make money buying a stock at the top — you make it buying good companies near their lows.\nAlibaba (BABA)\nA curious thing happened after China’s government announced a $2.8 billion antitrust fine against Alibaba. The shares of this one of the tech stocks rose.\nBABA stock didn’t hold all those gains, of course, trading today at around $229 per share. However, it remains one of China’s most valuable companies, with a market cap of $636 billion. It also has a significant cloud presence outside of its home market; Alibaba Cloud recently passed IBM in cloud market share and competes head-to-head with Amazon in the Asia-Pacific region.\nThat said, China’s recent regulations bring the actions of Alibaba and other large tech companies into closer conformance with American regulations.

It then saw that share price collapse over the next two months. At this point, BIDU stock is trading around $207, down nearly 42% from its lofty February heights.</p>\n<p>What has been going on in 2021 to cause such extreme movement in BIDU stock? And at its current price — which is lower than it was to kick off 2021 — is the stock an investment you should be considering? Or is this an unfolding disaster that’s best to stay well away from?</p>\n<p>I don’t think there’s any reason for current Baidu shareholders to panic. If anything, the current price makes BIDU stock a very interesting investment prospect. Here’s my rationale for this assessment.</p>\n<p><b>Why BIDU Spiked in February</b></p>\n<p>Baidu is a Chinese tech company with a considerable history — it’s been publicly traded in the U.S. since 2005. This is an established company with a proven business model, not a startup. Baidu is considered one of China’s internet giants, with a strong position in areas like online search, cloud computing, online mapping and mobile apps. It is also an AI leader, with the&nbsp;largest number of artificial intelligence (AI) patents of any Chinese company.</p>\n<p>However, the reason for the big spike in BIDU stock earlier this year was for something entirely different. On Jan. 10, Baidu announced&nbsp;it is entering the red-hot electric vehicle (EV) market. It is partnering with multinational EV-maker&nbsp;<b>Geely</b>,best known to Americans as the owner of Volvo. Baidu (which owns 283 autonomous driving patents) will provide the driving technology, while Geely handles the design and manufacturing.</p>\n<p>Baidu was already a company with a leading role in many areas that are seeing high growth. Adding electric cars to the mix was enough to help propel BIDU stock to a 55% gain over the next five weeks.</p>\n<p><b>Why the Stock Has Fallen</b></p>\n<p>Given the enthusiasm over Baidu’s entry into the EV market, what happened to deflate BIDU stock so quickly?</p>\n<p>A combination of factors is responsible. Starting in February, we began to see a broad selloff of tech stocks, and Baidu was caught up in that.</p>\n<p>There are additional issues in play that have spooked investors that are more specific to Baidu. As a Chinese company listed on an American exchange, Baidu&nbsp;could eventually face delisting. It is seeing growing competition for advertising revenue from increasingly popular Chinese social media apps like&nbsp;<b>TikTok</b>. In addition, the Chinese government continues to ramp up pressure on tech and internet companies, with&nbsp;threats of increased regulation.</p>\n<p>Combined, these factors were enough to chill investors and reverse the gains BIDU stock made after its EV announcement.</p>\n<p><b>The Bottom Line on BIDU Stock</b></p>\n<p>How do other analysts feel about Baidu stock? Am I the only one who feels the punishment the market has inflicted on BIDU is overreaction? Hardly.</p>\n<p>I checked in with<i>CNN Money</i>, which polled 38 investment analysts&nbsp;who are covering the company. They rate BIDU stock as a consensus “Buy.” In fact, 30 of the 38 are in the “Buy” camp, with two rating BIDU as “Outperform.” Their median 12-month price target of $355.89 offers nearly 72% upside.</p>\n<p>There is a lone holdout with a “Sell” rating, and the lowest price target of $198.71 has just 4% downside. Clearly, this group agrees that Baidu is a company with a future, with shares that are currently undervalued and positioned for growth.</p>\n<p>Time to circle back to the question: Is BIDU stock a buy? There<i>are</i>risks that could adversely impact the company, ranging from the threat of delisting to increased Chinese government regulation.

It then saw that share price collapse over the next two months. At this point, BIDU stock is trading around $207, down nearly 42% from its lofty February heights.\nWhat has been going on in 2021 to cause such extreme movement in BIDU stock? And at its current price — which is lower than it was to kick off 2021 — is the stock an investment you should be considering? Or is this an unfolding disaster that’s best to stay well away from?\nI don’t think there’s any reason for current Baidu shareholders to panic. If anything, the current price makes BIDU stock a very interesting investment prospect. Here’s my rationale for this assessment.\nWhy BIDU Spiked in February\nBaidu is a Chinese tech company with a considerable history — it’s been publicly traded in the U.S. since 2005. This is an established company with a proven business model, not a startup. Baidu is considered one of China’s internet giants, with a strong position in areas like online search, cloud computing, online mapping and mobile apps. It is also an AI leader, with the largest number of artificial intelligence (AI) patents of any Chinese company.\nHowever, the reason for the big spike in BIDU stock earlier this year was for something entirely different. On Jan. 10, Baidu announced it is entering the red-hot electric vehicle (EV) market. It is partnering with multinational EV-maker Geely,best known to Americans as the owner of Volvo. Baidu (which owns 283 autonomous driving patents) will provide the driving technology, while Geely handles the design and manufacturing.\nBaidu was already a company with a leading role in many areas that are seeing high growth. Adding electric cars to the mix was enough to help propel BIDU stock to a 55% gain over the next five weeks.\nWhy the Stock Has Fallen\nGiven the enthusiasm over Baidu’s entry into the EV market, what happened to deflate BIDU stock so quickly?\nA combination of factors is responsible. Starting in February, we began to see a broad selloff of tech stocks, and Baidu was caught up in that.\nThere are additional issues in play that have spooked investors that are more specific to Baidu. As a Chinese company listed on an American exchange, Baidu could eventually face delisting. It is seeing growing competition for advertising revenue from increasingly popular Chinese social media apps like TikTok. In addition, the Chinese government continues to ramp up pressure on tech and internet companies, with threats of increased regulation.\nCombined, these factors were enough to chill investors and reverse the gains BIDU stock made after its EV announcement.\nThe Bottom Line on BIDU Stock\nHow do other analysts feel about Baidu stock? Am I the only one who feels the punishment the market has inflicted on BIDU is overreaction? Hardly.\nI checked in withCNN Money, which polled 38 investment analysts who are covering the company. They rate BIDU stock as a consensus “Buy.” In fact, 30 of the 38 are in the “Buy” camp, with two rating BIDU as “Outperform.” Their median 12-month price target of $355.89 offers nearly 72% upside.\nThere is a lone holdout with a “Sell” rating, and the lowest price target of $198.71 has just 4% downside. Clearly, this group agrees that Baidu is a company with a future, with shares that are currently undervalued and positioned for growth.\nTime to circle back to the question: Is BIDU stock a buy? Therearerisks that could adversely impact the company, ranging from the threat of delisting to increased Chinese government regulation. These concerns contribute to Baidu’s “B” rating inPortfolio Grader.\nHowever, if you look beyond the risks — which are far from certain — the picture is pretty attractive. The biggest internet search and AI player in China, and a new entrant in the rapidly expanding EV market, with stock at a 42% discount compared to its mid-February high?\nThat’s a tough one to pass up.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":290,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":333275867,"gmtCreate":1609301608559,"gmtModify":1704978316860,"author":{"id":"3563493932971824","authorId":"3563493932971824","name":"JMA","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563493932971824","authorIdStr":"3563493932971824"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"brilliance's gone under","listText":"brilliance's gone under","text":"brilliance's gone under","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/333275867","repostId":"2095308571","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2095308571","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1609263965,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2095308571?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2020-12-30 01:46","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Zacks Analyst Blog Highlights: Brilliance China, Baidu, Impala and Dr. Reddy's","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2095308571","media":"Zacks","summary":"For Immediate Release\nChicago, IL – December 29, 2020 – Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featu","content":"<html><body><h3><strong>For Immediate Release</strong></h3>\n<p>Chicago, IL – December 29, 2020 – Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog.

RDY.</p>\n<h3><strong>Here are highlights from Monday’s Analyst Blog:</strong></h3>\n<h3><strong><em>4 Emerging Market Stocks to Tap 2021 Economic Rebound</em></strong></h3>\n<p>The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development or OECD recently came out with a forecast for 2021, which has kept emerging-market stock watchers buoyant for the coming year. The prediction says that the global economy, which is expected to recover to the pre-pandemic level in 2021, will be primarily led by strong recoveries in emerging economies, particularly Asian nations like China, Indonesia and South Korea based on their efficient pandemic handling.</p>\n<p>India, which faced a severe GDP contraction of an estimated 9.9% this year, is expected to rebound pretty well in 2021 on a projected recovery rate of 7.9% banking on suitable execution of fiscal support, which should lead to slow but gradual recovery of the job market. Although the OECD projection remained insipid for Brazil (from an estimated 6% slash in 2020 to only a projected 2.6% GDP growth for 2021), on closer examination, some economists do offer a glimmer of hope banking on the fact that Brazil’s domestic demand strongly recovered in the third quarter ( real GDP growth was 7.7%).</p>\n<p>Russia’s GDP reduction in 2020 was broadly in line with the global contraction (down 4.3%). This is expected to see a rebound of 2.8% in the coming year. Outside the OECD members, Thailand, Taiwan, Philippines are expected to prove as the big movers of 2021.</p>\n<h3><strong>2020 FDI Synopsis of Emerging Markets</strong></h3>\n<p>The above data and projections are a bit at odds to what exactly the emerging market has gone through during the pandemic so far. Apart from China, all the heavyweight emerging economies faced significant downturn in this period despite these countries’ anti-crisis efforts in the form of monetary and fiscal measures.</p>\n<p>Per UNCTAD’s (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) Oct 27-published report, global foreign direct investment (FDI) flow in the first half of 2020 fell 49% year over year due to the unprecedented economic rout. Amid the pandemic, lockdowns, restricted trades, supply disruptions and economic slowdown, multinational enterprises started to restrain from opting for new FDI projects investment projects.</p>\n<p>FDI flow to developing economies declined 16% in the first half of 2020. Flows to economies in transition were down 81% due to a strong decline in the Russian Federation.  In Russia, the ongoing geo- political risks, combined with uncertainty around the second wave of the pandemic and limited amount of anti-crisis stimulus are expected to have hit hard FDI investors’ sentiment.</p>\n<p>As investment in China remained robust, the percentage decline in Asia was overall decent (down 12%). Another emerging Asian economy, India, following 20% FDI growth in 2019, was initially expected to experience an FDI free fall through 2020. However, a per different local news sources, banking on relaxed FDI norms, during April-September 2020, India attracted FDI worth $7.12 billion from the United States while $8.30 billion of foreign inflows came from Singapore.</p>\n<p>However, FDI was 28% lower in Africa and 25% lower in Latin America and the Caribbean.</p>\n<h3><strong>2021 FDI Prospects Bullish</strong></h3>\n<p>According to UNCTAD, despite the 2020 drop, FDI remains the most important source of external finance for developing countries. UNCTAD’s two biggest indicators of future FDI — cross-border acquisitions and green-field investment projects roadmap for 2021 — seem to be quite bright at this moment. Although the execution depends primarily on a successful rollout and phase wise distribution of vaccination across these highly populated regions, the outlook for emerging economies remains upbeat.</p>\n<p>As stated earlier, banking on the quickest recovery from the pandemic, China’s 2020 FDI inflow report itself was extremely impressive. China’s Ministry of Commerce data says (as published in China Briefing), FDI inflow into China rose 5.2% in the first nine months of 2020. There were 22,602 foreign-invested enterprises (FIE) having newly established by the end of August. In September alone, FDI inflows into the country were up 25.1% year over year. Companies like ExxoMobil, BMW and Toyota increased their investment in China in 2020. Economists are of the belief that with gradual recovery through 2021, this trend is expected to see a further jump.</p>\n<p>India is expected to remain a happy hunting ground for foreign investors through 2021 banking on cheap labor cost and low corporate tax (15%). Nomura recently stated India to be the fastest growing Asian economy in 2021 with a projected growth rate of 9.9% (published in India Briefing), exceeding OECD’s projection.  In this regard, recently the government of India cleared a list of firms including Apple’s three major manufacturing partners — Foxconn, Wistron, and Pegatron, along with Samsung for a $143 billion Make-in-India Plan. </p>\n<p>Brazil too is expected to show a better picture in terms of FDI inflow the next year. Data published in The Street report says, there was a significant inflow of funds in the external financial account in October and November for investments in both stocks and fixed income instruments. However, whether this recovery will continue or not depends on the extent to which Brazil regains its attractiveness for foreign investors, banking on its upcoming fiscal and monetary agenda.</p>\n<p><strong>Our Choices</strong></p>\n<p>Adding stocks from these countries would make for a prudent choice.

Outside the OECD members, Thailand, Taiwan, Philippines are expected to prove as the big movers of 2021.\n2020 FDI Synopsis of Emerging Markets\nThe above data and projections are a bit at odds to what exactly the emerging market has gone through during the pandemic so far. Apart from China, all the heavyweight emerging economies faced significant downturn in this period despite these countries’ anti-crisis efforts in the form of monetary and fiscal measures.\nPer UNCTAD’s (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) Oct 27-published report, global foreign direct investment (FDI) flow in the first half of 2020 fell 49% year over year due to the unprecedented economic rout. Amid the pandemic, lockdowns, restricted trades, supply disruptions and economic slowdown, multinational enterprises started to restrain from opting for new FDI projects investment projects.\nFDI flow to developing economies declined 16% in the first half of 2020. Flows to economies in transition were down 81% due to a strong decline in the Russian Federation.  In Russia, the ongoing geo- political risks, combined with uncertainty around the second wave of the pandemic and limited amount of anti-crisis stimulus are expected to have hit hard FDI investors’ sentiment.\nAs investment in China remained robust, the percentage decline in Asia was overall decent (down 12%). Another emerging Asian economy, India, following 20% FDI growth in 2019, was initially expected to experience an FDI free fall through 2020. However, a per different local news sources, banking on relaxed FDI norms, during April-September 2020, India attracted FDI worth $7.12 billion from the United States while $8.30 billion of foreign inflows came from Singapore.\nHowever, FDI was 28% lower in Africa and 25% lower in Latin America and the Caribbean.\n2021 FDI Prospects Bullish\nAccording to UNCTAD, despite the 2020 drop, FDI remains the most important source of external finance for developing countries. UNCTAD’s two biggest indicators of future FDI — cross-border acquisitions and green-field investment projects roadmap for 2021 — seem to be quite bright at this moment. Although the execution depends primarily on a successful rollout and phase wise distribution of vaccination across these highly populated regions, the outlook for emerging economies remains upbeat.\nAs stated earlier, banking on the quickest recovery from the pandemic, China’s 2020 FDI inflow report itself was extremely impressive. China’s Ministry of Commerce data says (as published in China Briefing), FDI inflow into China rose 5.2% in the first nine months of 2020. There were 22,602 foreign-invested enterprises (FIE) having newly established by the end of August. In September alone, FDI inflows into the country were up 25.1% year over year. Companies like ExxoMobil, BMW and Toyota increased their investment in China in 2020. Economists are of the belief that with gradual recovery through 2021, this trend is expected to see a further jump.\nIndia is expected to remain a happy hunting ground for foreign investors through 2021 banking on cheap labor cost and low corporate tax (15%). Nomura recently stated India to be the fastest growing Asian economy in 2021 with a projected growth rate of 9.9% (published in India Briefing), exceeding OECD’s projection.  In this regard, recently the government of India cleared a list of firms including Apple’s three major manufacturing partners — Foxconn, Wistron, and Pegatron, along with Samsung for a $143 billion Make-in-India Plan. \nBrazil too is expected to show a better picture in terms of FDI inflow the next year. Data published in The Street report says, there was a significant inflow of funds in the external financial account in October and November for investments in both stocks and fixed income instruments. However, whether this recovery will continue or not depends on the extent to which Brazil regains its attractiveness for foreign investors, banking on its upcoming fiscal and monetary agenda.\nOur Choices\nAdding stocks from these countries would make for a prudent choice.
