Amazon.com, Inc.(NASDAQ:AMZN)is the most dominant online retailer in the West, but other markets are primarily served by other online shopping companies. Coupang Inc.(NYSE:CPNG)from South Korea recently IPO'd in the US, and in this article, we will pitch the two against each other. Amazon looks like the more complete company with a wider moat to me, but Coupang is also an interesting play due to its position in an attractive, high-growth market.</p>\n<p><b>Coupang Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>Coupang Inc. has IPO'd in the US in March, raising more than&nbsp;$4 billion. Shares are currently trading for $40, which is below the prices of ~$50 that the stock traded at shortly following its IPO:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cc6beaaae203d6b0db64793dd67bbbc9\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Shares have, however, risen considerably from the lows that the company hit in May, which could be the result of improving sentiment as the company reported&nbsp;very solid Q1 results&nbsp;that showed the company grew faster than expected. The current consensus price target is $44, which indicates that analysts are expecting an upside potential of around 10% over the next year -- solid, but not spectacular. Coupang is backed by major investors including&nbsp;the Gates Foundation&nbsp;and Softbank(OTCPK:SFTBY), which indicates that this is much more than a hyped-up IPO.</p>\n<p><b>Amazon Stock Price</b></p>\n<p>Amazon.com, Inc. has been trading for a much longer period than Coupang, and it is a way larger company already. Over the years, shares generated strong returns for investors that held onto shares, the 10-year return is north of 1,600%.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6be201519c9538851784f110ef0f13f3\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>In 2021, however, shares have so far not risen by a lot, as investors do seem to favor stocks with exposure to economic reopening right now. Energy names, hospitality, etc. have been hot so far this year, whereas the big tech names such as Amazon, which had been strong performers in 2020, have not experienced huge gains year-to-date. The current analyst consensus price target for Amazon's shares is $4240, which suggests upside potential of around 15%, a little more than what analysts are expecting from Coupang right now.</p>\n<p><b>Coupang's Size Relative To Amazon?</b></p>\n<p>It's pretty obvious that Coupang is not bigger than Amazon. It doesn't matter whether you look at market capitalizations, revenue, profits, cash flows, or the employee count, Amazon is a giant and significantly larger than its South Korean peer:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/13e93ec2cee718b6836730e5b0d94cd2\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"577\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>This isn't too much of a surprise, as Amazon has been founded 27 years ago and has had a lot of time to grow, whereas Coupang has only been around for a little over a decade. Amazon in 2005, when it was 11 years old, was a way smaller company than it is today, and it also was still unprofitable -- as Coupang is today. There is, however, no need to always buy the biggest companies, thus Amazon being larger than Coupang today does not necessarily equate to Amazon being a better investment. Other factors have to be considered for that as well.</p>\n<p><b>Is Coupang Better Than Amazon?</b></p>\n<p>When considering an investment, things that should be factored in are the growth outlook for a company, the stock's valuation, the company's risk profile and standing relative to competitors, and the overall quality.</p>\n<p>Looking at Coupang and Amazon, both companies are naturally poised to benefit from a long-term megatrend -- shopping shifting from brick-and-mortar to e-commerce. Note that this doesn't mean that brick-and-mortar retailers are all poised to die out, as we believe that higher-quality brick-and-mortar retailers (e.g. Home Depot(NYSE:HD)) and higher-quality brick-and-mortar real estate (e.g. Simon Property Group(NYSE:SPG)) will continue to do well. It is nevertheless relatively clear that, overall, e-commerce will continue to gain market share versus brick-and-mortar, with lower-quality traditional retailers taking the majority of the hit. Some goods are just very easily bought online, e.g. everyday clothes, books, etc. and online retailers should continue to make gains in these areas. On top of that, the overall consumer market continues to grow in both the US and internationally, which benefits online retailers as well.</p>\n<p>Amazon and Coupang also have the ability to boost their growth by expanding into additional markets, either geographically, or by building out new businesses. Amazon has very successfully done so and has become a major retailer not only in the US, but in many additional markets on top of that, and Amazon has also successfully built out a high-growth cloud computing business and is becoming a major player in online advertising.</p>\n<p>Coupang, as a much smaller and younger company, has not had the ability to expand its business as much as Amazon yet. Still, the Korean online retailer has managed to grow its business at a highly attractive pace, and one might even say that Coupang has outperformed Amazon in its home market South Korea. The company's success can be attributed to a smart and customer-focused approach that includes<i>Dawn Delivery</i>, a service that allows customers to order before midnight and receiving their order before 7 am the next day. Coupang also has reduced cardboard packaging significantly relative to how other online retailers operate, a move that resonates well with environmentally conscious customers. Through these measures and others, Coupang has been able to deliver rapid revenue growth in the recent past, which includes a massive 75% revenue increase during the most recent quarter. Amazon grew its revenue by 44% in the most recent quarter, although it should be noted that Amazon is growing from a much larger base. The law of large numbers means that Amazon, due to its already very large size, can't grow at the rapid rates Coupang is currently seeing any longer, and the fact that Amazon is, despite its size, still growing at an attractive 40%+ pace is testament to its strong business model.</p>\n<p>Coupang is the higher-growth company today, and one can expect that this will remain the case in the foreseeable future, with the smaller size being a key factor for that -- growing revenue from $20 billion to $40 billion is easier than growing revenue from $500 billion to $1 trillion. Coupang is, however, unlike Amazon, not profitable yet, which may result in share count dilution as Coupang could do a secondary offering to access additional capital.

In Shopify's defense, one can argue that its more \"techy\" business deserves a higher sales multiple compared to the pure retailers. But even when one compares AMZN and CPNG to more similar companies such as Pinduoduo(NASDAQ:PDD)or MercadoLibre(NASDAQ:MELI), both AMZN and CPNG do seem inexpensive.</p>\n<p><b>Is Coupang Or Amazon Stock The Better Buy?</b></p>\n<p>As shown above, both companies do have their advantages, and which company you ultimately will prefer depends on what things you value the most when choosing an investment.

On the other hand, Amazon is less dependent on a single geographic market, which results in some built-in diversification relative to the more focused Coupang.</p>\n<p>Depending on whether you want a diversified giant that is entrenched in many different markets, or whether you prefer a pure-play on consumers in South Korea, Amazon and/or Coupang could both be solid choices for your portfolio. I personally am long Amazon and see this stock&nbsp;delivering solid gains&nbsp;in the long run, even though shares aren't especially cheap at 67x this year's profits.</p>\n<p>Coupang is definitely an interesting choice as well, however, especially when we consider that its shares do trade at a massive discount relative to other regionally-focused mid-sized online retailers such as MercadoLibre and Pinduoduo.</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>Coupang Vs.

Amazon.com, Inc.(NASDAQ:AMZN)is the most dominant online retailer in the West, but other markets are primarily served by other online shopping companies. Coupang Inc.(NYSE:CPNG)from South Korea recently IPO'd in the US, and in this article, we will pitch the two against each other. Amazon looks like the more complete company with a wider moat to me, but Coupang is also an interesting play due to its position in an attractive, high-growth market.\nCoupang Stock Price\nCoupang Inc. has IPO'd in the US in March, raising more than $4 billion. Shares are currently trading for $40, which is below the prices of ~$50 that the stock traded at shortly following its IPO:\nData by YCharts\nShares have, however, risen considerably from the lows that the company hit in May, which could be the result of improving sentiment as the company reported very solid Q1 results that showed the company grew faster than expected. The current consensus price target is $44, which indicates that analysts are expecting an upside potential of around 10% over the next year -- solid, but not spectacular. Coupang is backed by major investors including the Gates Foundation and Softbank(OTCPK:SFTBY), which indicates that this is much more than a hyped-up IPO.\nAmazon Stock Price\nAmazon.com, Inc. has been trading for a much longer period than Coupang, and it is a way larger company already. Over the years, shares generated strong returns for investors that held onto shares, the 10-year return is north of 1,600%.\nData by YCharts\nIn 2021, however, shares have so far not risen by a lot, as investors do seem to favor stocks with exposure to economic reopening right now. Energy names, hospitality, etc. have been hot so far this year, whereas the big tech names such as Amazon, which had been strong performers in 2020, have not experienced huge gains year-to-date. The current analyst consensus price target for Amazon's shares is $4240, which suggests upside potential of around 15%, a little more than what analysts are expecting from Coupang right now.\nCoupang's Size Relative To Amazon?\nIt's pretty obvious that Coupang is not bigger than Amazon. It doesn't matter whether you look at market capitalizations, revenue, profits, cash flows, or the employee count, Amazon is a giant and significantly larger than its South Korean peer:\nData by YCharts\nThis isn't too much of a surprise, as Amazon has been founded 27 years ago and has had a lot of time to grow, whereas Coupang has only been around for a little over a decade. Amazon in 2005, when it was 11 years old, was a way smaller company than it is today, and it also was still unprofitable -- as Coupang is today. There is, however, no need to always buy the biggest companies, thus Amazon being larger than Coupang today does not necessarily equate to Amazon being a better investment. Other factors have to be considered for that as well.\nIs Coupang Better Than Amazon?\nWhen considering an investment, things that should be factored in are the growth outlook for a company, the stock's valuation, the company's risk profile and standing relative to competitors, and the overall quality.\nLooking at Coupang and Amazon, both companies are naturally poised to benefit from a long-term megatrend -- shopping shifting from brick-and-mortar to e-commerce. Note that this doesn't mean that brick-and-mortar retailers are all poised to die out, as we believe that higher-quality brick-and-mortar retailers (e.g. Home Depot(NYSE:HD)) and higher-quality brick-and-mortar real estate (e.g. Simon Property Group(NYSE:SPG)) will continue to do well. It is nevertheless relatively clear that, overall, e-commerce will continue to gain market share versus brick-and-mortar, with lower-quality traditional retailers taking the majority of the hit. Some goods are just very easily bought online, e.g. everyday clothes, books, etc. and online retailers should continue to make gains in these areas. On top of that, the overall consumer market continues to grow in both the US and internationally, which benefits online retailers as well.\nAmazon and Coupang also have the ability to boost their growth by expanding into additional markets, either geographically, or by building out new businesses. Amazon has very successfully done so and has become a major retailer not only in the US, but in many additional markets on top of that, and Amazon has also successfully built out a high-growth cloud computing business and is becoming a major player in online advertising.\nCoupang, as a much smaller and younger company, has not had the ability to expand its business as much as Amazon yet. Still, the Korean online retailer has managed to grow its business at a highly attractive pace, and one might even say that Coupang has outperformed Amazon in its home market South Korea. The company's success can be attributed to a smart and customer-focused approach that includesDawn Delivery, a service that allows customers to order before midnight and receiving their order before 7 am the next day. Coupang also has reduced cardboard packaging significantly relative to how other online retailers operate, a move that resonates well with environmentally conscious customers. Through these measures and others, Coupang has been able to deliver rapid revenue growth in the recent past, which includes a massive 75% revenue increase during the most recent quarter. Amazon grew its revenue by 44% in the most recent quarter, although it should be noted that Amazon is growing from a much larger base. The law of large numbers means that Amazon, due to its already very large size, can't grow at the rapid rates Coupang is currently seeing any longer, and the fact that Amazon is, despite its size, still growing at an attractive 40%+ pace is testament to its strong business model.\nCoupang is the higher-growth company today, and one can expect that this will remain the case in the foreseeable future, with the smaller size being a key factor for that -- growing revenue from $20 billion to $40 billion is easier than growing revenue from $500 billion to $1 trillion. Coupang is, however, unlike Amazon, not profitable yet, which may result in share count dilution as Coupang could do a secondary offering to access additional capital. Coupang is also less diversified than Amazon, both geographically and when it comes to different industries. Amazon, with its marketing and cloud computing platforms, is more of a diversified company than Coupang, which is fully reliant on e-commerce.\nI don't think that there is a clear 'better buy' here, as both companies have their pros and cons. Coupang is growing faster and could double or triple its revenue more easily, but Amazon could be called the more dominant, wider-moat, more diversified pick that is also profitable and generates huge cash flows already.\nLooking at valuations, we can't value Coupang based on profits, as those are not existent yet. Taking a look at the two companies' respective market capitalizations relative to the revenues that they generate, we get the following picture:\nData by YCharts\nWe see that both companies trade around 3.5x forward revenue, thus from a valuation perspective, there is no major difference here, except for the fact that AMZN is, unlike CPNG, generating profits with these revenues. One could thus argue that AMZN's revenues are of a higher quality compared to the revenues generated by CPNG.\nComparing the P/S valuations of AMZN and CPNG trade at compared to some other online retailers, both companies do seem relatively inexpensive:\nData by YCharts\nMany other online retailers trade at significantly higher sales multiples, including Shopify(NYSE:SHOP), which seems ultra-expensive at more than 40x forward. In Shopify's defense, one can argue that its more \"techy\" business deserves a higher sales multiple compared to the pure retailers. But even when one compares AMZN and CPNG to more similar companies such as Pinduoduo(NASDAQ:PDD)or MercadoLibre(NASDAQ:MELI), both AMZN and CPNG do seem inexpensive.\nIs Coupang Or Amazon Stock The Better Buy?\nAs shown above, both companies do have their advantages, and which company you ultimately will prefer depends on what things you value the most when choosing an investment. Due to its larger scale, profitability, and strong diversification AMZN seems like the lower-risk choice to me, and its dominant position in its home market and the highly attractive cloud computing market position it well for the future, I believe.

I personally am long Amazon and see this stock delivering solid gains in the long run, even though shares aren't especially cheap at 67x this year's profits.\nCoupang is definitely an interesting choice as well, however, especially when we consider that its shares do trade at a massive discount relative to other regionally-focused mid-sized online retailers such as MercadoLibre and Pinduoduo.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":518,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":148693933,"gmtCreate":1625969917922,"gmtModify":1703751380526,"author":{"id":"3563947259820874","authorId":"3563947259820874","name":"cykoay","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10c52887508be516b800b769e4050b2f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563947259820874","authorIdStr":"3563947259820874"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I respect cofounder of peloton who started his business at the age of 40s","listText":"I respect cofounder of peloton who started his business at the age of 40s","text":"I respect cofounder of peloton who started his business at the age of 40s","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/148693933","repostId":"1196440758","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":729,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":148040625,"gmtCreate":1625905115967,"gmtModify":1703750780498,"author":{"id":"3563947259820874","authorId":"3563947259820874","name":"cykoay","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10c52887508be516b800b769e4050b2f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563947259820874","authorIdStr":"3563947259820874"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"If no direction whether want to put a bet or not then bet on SPY","listText":"If no direction whether want to put a bet or not then bet on SPY","text":"If no direction whether want to put a bet or not then bet on SPY","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/171df050fa2b872c6b9f852f4ff8d4c8","width":"1080","height":"2492"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/148040625","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":297,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":148057239,"gmtCreate":1625904993721,"gmtModify":1703750778868,"author":{"id":"3563947259820874","authorId":"3563947259820874","name":"cykoay","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10c52887508be516b800b769e4050b2f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563947259820874","authorIdStr":"3563947259820874"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"1810 is more resistant to drop and rebound faster than 0700 and 9988","listText":"1810 is more resistant to drop and rebound faster than 0700 and 9988","text":"1810 is more resistant to drop and rebound faster than 0700 and 9988","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f5662c32b46bb604c33d3859df178966","width":"1080","height":"2363"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/148057239","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":210,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":148057303,"gmtCreate":1625904956202,"gmtModify":1703750778542,"author":{"id":"3563947259820874","authorId":"3563947259820874","name":"cykoay","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10c52887508be516b800b769e4050b2f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563947259820874","authorIdStr":"3563947259820874"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"1810 is more resistant to drop and rebound faster than 0700 and 9988","listText":"1810 is more resistant to drop and rebound faster than 0700 and 9988","text":"1810 is more resistant to drop and rebound faster than 0700 and 9988","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4899088f2bc4cdaa52d56bbcd4479bb3","width":"1080","height":"2363"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/148057303","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":258,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":148054355,"gmtCreate":1625904893377,"gmtModify":1703750776746,"author":{"id":"3563947259820874","authorId":"3563947259820874","name":"cykoay","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10c52887508be516b800b769e4050b2f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563947259820874","authorIdStr":"3563947259820874"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"1810 surprisingly is more resistant to bad&nbsp;

according to an S-1/Aregistration statement.\nThe firm provides data infrastructure as a service to enterprises with complex requirements.\nCFLT is generating high operating losses with no credible path to operating breakeven and the IPO appears expensive, so I'll pass on it.\nCompany & Technology\nMountain View, California-based Confluent was founded to create a platform enabling companies to more easily build and deploy data-driven applications for real-time use.\nManagement is headed by co-founder and CEO Jay Kreps, who was previously a software architect at LinkedIn and was one of the creators of Apache Kafka which Confluent uses as the basis for its system.\nKafka is used by many companies for high-performance data streaming applications, among other uses.\nThe company’s primary offerings include:\n\nConfluent Cloud - SaaS platform\nConfluent Platform - Self-managed system\n\nConfluent has received at least $574 million in equity investment from investors including Benchmark Capital, Index Ventures, Jun Rao, and Sequoia Capital.\nCustomer/User Acquisition\nThe firm pursues relationships primarily with large and medium-sized companies through a direct sales and marketing approach.\nAs of March 31, 2021, Confluent had over 560 customers with $100,000 or more in annual recurring revenue across numerous industries including financial services, retail and e-commerce, manufacturing, and media & entertainment.\nSales and Marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue have fluctuated as revenues have increased, as the figures below indicate:\n\nThe Sales and Marketing efficiency rate, defined as how many dollars of additional new revenue are generated by each dollar of Sales and Marketing spend, dropped to 0.4x in the most recent reporting period, as shown in the table below:\n\nThe Rule of 40 is a software industry rule of thumb that says that as long as the combined revenue growth rate and EBITDA percentage rate equal or exceed 40%, the firm is on an acceptable growth/EBITDA trajectory.\nCFLT’s most recent calculation was negative (7%) as of March 31, 2021, so the firm needs significant improvement in this regard, per the table below:\n\nThe firm’s dollar-based net revenue retention rate for Q1 2021 was 117% and for all of 2020 was 125%, which are both good results.\nThe dollar-based net revenue retention rate metric measures how much additional revenue is generated over time from each cohort of customers, so that a figure over 100% means that the company is generating more revenue from the same customer cohort over time, indicating good product/market fit and efficient sales and marketing efforts.\nMarket & Competition\nAccording to a 2020 marketresearch reportby Allied Market Research, the global market for big data as a service was an estimated $5 billion in 2018 and is forecast to exceed $61 billion by 2026.\nThis represents a forecast very strong CAGR of 36.9% from 2019 to 2026.\nThe main drivers for this expected growth are the continued transition of enterprises to cloud applications and the need to drive efficiencies across all aspects of the enterprise.\nAlso, as companies transition to cloud infrastructures, their systems are becoming more complex and there is a substantial need for vendor reduction to improve integration and lower complexity.\nThe infrastructure as a service market [IaaS] is expected to grow by $136 billion from 2021 to 2025, representing a CAGR of 27%, according toResearchAndMarkets.\nMajor competitive or other industry participants include:\n\nMicrosoft(NASDAQ:MSFT)\nAmazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)\nGoogle (GOOG,GOOGL)\nTIBCO Streaming\nCloudera(NYSE:CLDR)\nRed Hat\nOracle(NYSE:ORCL)\n\nFinancial Performance\nConfluent’s recent financial results can be summarized as follows:\n\nGrowing top line revenue\nIncreasing gross profit and gross margin\nHigh and increasing operating losses\nHigh cash used in operations\n\nBelow are relevant financial results derived from the firm’s registration statement:\nAs of March 31, 2021, Confluent had $44.1 million in cash and $274.4 million in total liabilities.\nFree cash flow during the twelve months ended March 31, 2021, was negative ($74.2 million).\nIPO Details\nConfluent intends to raise $713 million in gross proceeds from an IPO of its Class A common stock, offering 23 million shares at a proposed midpoint price of $31.00.\nClass A common stockholders will receive one vote per share and Class shareholders will be entitled to ten votes per share.\nThe S&P 500 Index no longer admits firms with multiple classes of stock into its index.\nCertain existing shareholders have indicated an interest to purchase shares of up to $112 million in the aggregate at the IPO price.\nAssuming a successful IPO, the company’s enterprise value at IPO would approximate $6.9 billion, excluding the effects of underwriter over-allotment options.\nExcluding effects of underwriter options and private placement shares or restricted stock, if any, the float to outstanding shares ratio will be approximately 9.11%. A figure under 10% is generally considered a ‘low float’ stock which can be subject to significant price volatility.\nManagement says it will use the net proceeds from the IPO as follows:\n\n The principal purposes of this offering are to increase our capitalization and financial flexibility and create a public market for our Class A common stock.

The index is, by far, the best performer in 2022, up 23.2%, as U.S. crude hovers near a seven-year high.Those strong energy prices helped Exxon Mobil Corp to post its biggest quarterly profit in seven years on Tuesday. Its stock jumped 6.4% as a result, to close above the $80-per-share mark for the first time since April 2019.As of Tuesday, 184 S&P 500 companies posted quarterly results, of which 78.8% reported earnings above analyst expectations, according to Refinitiv.Google parent Alphabet Inc rose 1.7% ahead of quarterly results published after the bell. Amazon Inc and Meta Platforms Inc are also on deck later this week.Of those which reported earlier on Tuesday, United Parcel Service Inc jumped 14.1% - its biggest one-day gain in 18 months - after projecting 2022 revenue above market expectations.AT&T Inc dropped 4.2% after saying it will spin off WarnerMedia in a $43 billion transaction to merge its media properties with Discovery Inc and also cut its dividend by nearly half.Volume on U.S. exchanges was 11.71 billion shares, compared with the 12.45 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.The S&P 500 posted 18 new 52-week highs and one new low; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 43 new highs and 18 new lows.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":624,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":146165422,"gmtCreate":1626060026766,"gmtModify":1703752562863,"author":{"id":"3563947259820874","authorId":"3563947259820874","name":"cykoay","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10c52887508be516b800b769e4050b2f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563947259820874","authorIdStr":"3563947259820874"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nvidia is going to do split share wait after split share","listText":"Nvidia is going to do split share wait after split share","text":"Nvidia is going to do split share wait after split share","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/146165422","repostId":"1154588051","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1154588051","pubTimestamp":1626057206,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1154588051?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-12 10:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is It Too Late to Buy NVIDIA Stock?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1154588051","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The chipmaking giant has posted some serious share price gains over the past year.\n\nKey Points\n\nNVID","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>The chipmaking giant has posted some serious share price gains over the past year.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Key Points</p>\n<ul>\n <li>NVIDIA trades close to record valuations.</li>\n <li>GPUs continue to become an increasingly important component of tech innovation.</li>\n <li>A limited outlook gives investors little visibility beyond the second quarter.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>NVIDIA</b>(NASDAQ:NVDA)shareholders have been benefiting mightily from the ongoing chip shortage, as well as from the popularity of the company's offerings for GPU-based applications.

For its fiscal Q2, the company expects revenue to be within 2 percentage points of $6.3 billion, a massive increase from the $3.9 billion it reported in the same quarter last year. However, the company declined to offer an outlook for the remainder of fiscal 2022. This could reflect management's uncertainty about macro conditions as global economies attempt to emerge from the shadow of the pandemic.</p>\n<p><b>Should I still consider NVIDIA?</b></p>\n<p>Although the company's long-term growth story could easily continue, investors may want to avoid NVIDIA stock for now. Management's decision not to provide an outlook beyond Q2 indicates it could hit a rough patch ahead. Moreover, it doesn't appear wise to pay almost 95 times earnings for this chipmaker under current conditions, especially when the stock rarely traded at a P/E ratio above 50 before 2021.

More importantly, their futures look bright.","content":"<p><b>Key Points</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Growth stocks may be riskier than stable and established companies, but carefully selected ones may be worth it.</li>\n <li>Stay-at-home trends have helped these companies, but their growth rates were high before the pandemic, too.</li>\n <li>Both of these fast-growing tech businesses are already profitable.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>There's an interesting dilemma when it comes to picking stocks investors can likely hold for years or even decades. On the one hand, investors looking to hold shares for the long haul can stick with stable and established companies that have been around for decades and will likely continue succeeding for the foreseeable future -- companies like&nbsp;<b>Waste Management</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>. The downside to this approach, however, is that investors may miss out on the potential outperformance that could come from fast-growing companies over the long haul.</p>\n<p>The issue with buying&nbsp;growth stocks, however, is that it's extremely difficult to gauge how long their rapid top-line growth rates can persist. Further, these companies' stock prices could perform very poorly if the growth prospects already baked into the stock price don't pan out. In other words, there's arguably more risk when it comes to betting on growth stocks for the next decade than there is for stable and established companies with decades of success behind them.</p>\n<p>So if an&nbsp;investor&nbsp;wants to buy growth stocks with a high chance of exceeding expectations over the next 10 years, they better have some pretty good reasons to believe these companies can do exactly that.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/257045ef62f724806bce2b35390a5e4f\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1500\"><span>IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.</span></p>\n<p>Here are two growth stocks that have a shot at not only living up to high expectations over the next 10 years but possibly even exceeding them:<b>Zoom Video Communications</b>(NASDAQ:ZM)&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>Peloton Interactive</b>(NASDAQ:PTON).</p>\n<p><b>Zoom and Peloton were already thriving before the pandemic</b></p>\n<p>At first glance, investors may conclude that Zoom is nothing more than a pandemic stock. They may argue that the company's success was predicated almost entirely on the fact that much of the world was in lockdown in 2020 and going into 2021.</p>\n<p>It's true that Zoom benefited significantly from the rise of virtual work in 2020. After all, revenue for the company's fiscal 2021 (a fiscal year ending Jan. 31, 2021) skyrocketed 326% year over year. But investors should note that the trend of using video to collaborate virtually was already extremely strong before the pandemic; fiscal 2020 revenue rose 88% year over year. Growth at the time was particularly strong from large customers. Zoom's customers contributing more than $100,000 of trailing-12-month revenue increased 86% year over year in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.</p>\n<p>The same goes for Peloton.

On the one hand, investors looking to hold shares for the long haul can stick with stable and established companies that have been around for decades and will likely continue succeeding for the foreseeable future -- companies like Waste Management and Berkshire Hathaway. The downside to this approach, however, is that investors may miss out on the potential outperformance that could come from fast-growing companies over the long haul.\nThe issue with buying growth stocks, however, is that it's extremely difficult to gauge how long their rapid top-line growth rates can persist. Further, these companies' stock prices could perform very poorly if the growth prospects already baked into the stock price don't pan out. In other words, there's arguably more risk when it comes to betting on growth stocks for the next decade than there is for stable and established companies with decades of success behind them.\nSo if an investor wants to buy growth stocks with a high chance of exceeding expectations over the next 10 years, they better have some pretty good reasons to believe these companies can do exactly that.\nIMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.\nHere are two growth stocks that have a shot at not only living up to high expectations over the next 10 years but possibly even exceeding them:Zoom Video Communications(NASDAQ:ZM) and Peloton Interactive(NASDAQ:PTON).\nZoom and Peloton were already thriving before the pandemic\nAt first glance, investors may conclude that Zoom is nothing more than a pandemic stock. They may argue that the company's success was predicated almost entirely on the fact that much of the world was in lockdown in 2020 and going into 2021.\nIt's true that Zoom benefited significantly from the rise of virtual work in 2020. After all, revenue for the company's fiscal 2021 (a fiscal year ending Jan. 31, 2021) skyrocketed 326% year over year. But investors should note that the trend of using video to collaborate virtually was already extremely strong before the pandemic; fiscal 2020 revenue rose 88% year over year. Growth at the time was particularly strong from large customers. Zoom's customers contributing more than $100,000 of trailing-12-month revenue increased 86% year over year in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.\nThe same goes for Peloton. The company certainly benefited from the pandemic, but revenue during the quarter ending Dec. 31, 2019 was growing at a year-over-year rate of 77%, with connected fitness subscribers increasing 96% year over year.\nContinued momentum\nThe underlying catalysts driving Zoom and Peloton are both still alive and well. Strong growth persists at both companies.\nDespite facing extremely tough comparisons in the year-ago quarter, from when both companies were benefiting from soaring demand amid lockdowns, Zoom's and Peloton's revenue in their most recently reported quarters grew 191% and 141% year over year, respectively.\nLooking ahead, Zoom notably guided for fiscal 2022 revenue of nearly $4 billion, up from fiscal 2021 revenue of about $2.7 billion.\nBoding well for Peloton's continued momentum, management said in its most recent quarterly update that its monthly average workouts per connected fitness subscription rose to an all-time high, showing how the company's products are still yielding high engagement even as the economy reopens.\nHealthy profits\nFinally, another factor that makes these companies unique from many other growth stocks is that they are already very profitable. Zoom generated $873 million of net income on $3.3 billion of trailing-12-month sales, and Peloton served up $213 million of net income from $3.7 billion in revenue.\nSubstantial profits give these companies an edge when it comes to reinvesting in growth opportunities ahead of them and spending on efforts to enhance their competitive positioning and first-mover advantages in their respective industries.\nWhile there's no guarantee these two stocks will beat the market over the next 10 years, their recent momentum -- before, during, and after the worst part of the pandemic -- suggests they likely have a promising future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":729,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":126231293,"gmtCreate":1624574155912,"gmtModify":1703840498044,"author":{"id":"3563947259820874","authorId":"3563947259820874","name":"cykoay","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10c52887508be516b800b769e4050b2f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563947259820874","authorIdStr":"3563947259820874"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Interested on this IPO","listText":"Interested on this IPO","text":"Interested on this IPO","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/126231293","repostId":"1169202537","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1169202537","pubTimestamp":1624549071,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1169202537?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-24 23:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Confluent Prepares For $713 Million IPO","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1169202537","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nConfluent has filed proposed terms for its $713 million IPO.\nThe firm provides an IT infras","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Confluent has filed proposed terms for its $713 million IPO.</li>\n <li>The firm provides an IT infrastructure as a service platform to enterprises globally.</li>\n <li>CFLT has grown revenue and gross profit but is generating high operating losses and the IPO appears expensive, so I'll watch it from the sidelines.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Quick Take</b></p>\n<p>Confluent (CFLT) has filed to raise $713 million in an IPO of its Class A common stock, according to an S-1/Aregistration statement.</p>\n<p>The firm provides data infrastructure as a service to enterprises with complex requirements.</p>\n<p>CFLT is generating high operating losses with no credible path to operating breakeven and the IPO appears expensive, so I'll pass on it.</p>\n<p><b>Company &amp;

This is a mid-tier performance for all major underwriters during the period.</p>\n<p>The primary risk to the company’s outlook is if one or more of its major platform competitors bundles competing offerings into its existing pricing structure, putting substantial pricing pressure and integration complexity pressure onto Confluent.</p>\n<p>As for valuation, compared to already public and larger partial competitor Cloudera, Confluent is seeking a big premium at IPO.</p>\n<p>Of course, CFLT is growing revenue at a far higher rate of growth, so some of that premium is justified.</p>\n<p>Still, the firm has made no credible progress toward operating breakeven and is producing enormous operating losses.</p>\n<p>Since the IPO valuation is not cheap and the firm is generating high operating losses and cash burn, I'll watch the IPO from the sidelines.</p>\n<p>Expected IPO Pricing Date: June 23, 2021</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta

has filed proposed terms for its $713 million IPO.\nThe firm provides an IT infrastructure as a service platform to enterprises globally.\nCFLT has grown revenue and gross profit but is generating high operating losses and the IPO appears expensive, so I'll watch it from the sidelines.\n\nQuick Take\nConfluent (CFLT) has filed to raise $713 million in an IPO of its Class A common stock, according to an S-1/Aregistration statement.\nThe firm provides data infrastructure as a service to enterprises with complex requirements.\nCFLT is generating high operating losses with no credible path to operating breakeven and the IPO appears expensive, so I'll pass on it.\nCompany & Technology\nMountain View, California-based Confluent was founded to create a platform enabling companies to more easily build and deploy data-driven applications for real-time use.\nManagement is headed by co-founder and CEO Jay Kreps, who was previously a software architect at LinkedIn and was one of the creators of Apache Kafka which Confluent uses as the basis for its system.\nKafka is used by many companies for high-performance data streaming applications, among other uses.\nThe company’s primary offerings include:\n\nConfluent Cloud - SaaS platform\nConfluent Platform - Self-managed system\n\nConfluent has received at least $574 million in equity investment from investors including Benchmark Capital, Index Ventures, Jun Rao, and Sequoia Capital.\nCustomer/User Acquisition\nThe firm pursues relationships primarily with large and medium-sized companies through a direct sales and marketing approach.\nAs of March 31, 2021, Confluent had over 560 customers with $100,000 or more in annual recurring revenue across numerous industries including financial services, retail and e-commerce, manufacturing, and media & entertainment.\nSales and Marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue have fluctuated as revenues have increased, as the figures below indicate:\n\nThe Sales and Marketing efficiency rate, defined as how many dollars of additional new revenue are generated by each dollar of Sales and Marketing spend, dropped to 0.4x in the most recent reporting period, as shown in the table below:\n\nThe Rule of 40 is a software industry rule of thumb that says that as long as the combined revenue growth rate and EBITDA percentage rate equal or exceed 40%, the firm is on an acceptable growth/EBITDA trajectory.\nCFLT’s most recent calculation was negative (7%) as of March 31, 2021, so the firm needs significant improvement in this regard, per the table below:\n\nThe firm’s dollar-based net revenue retention rate for Q1 2021 was 117% and for all of 2020 was 125%, which are both good results.\nThe dollar-based net revenue retention rate metric measures how much additional revenue is generated over time from each cohort of customers, so that a figure over 100% means that the company is generating more revenue from the same customer cohort over time, indicating good product/market fit and efficient sales and marketing efforts.\nMarket & Competition\nAccording to a 2020 marketresearch reportby Allied Market Research, the global market for big data as a service was an estimated $5 billion in 2018 and is forecast to exceed $61 billion by 2026.\nThis represents a forecast very strong CAGR of 36.9% from 2019 to 2026.\nThe main drivers for this expected growth are the continued transition of enterprises to cloud applications and the need to drive efficiencies across all aspects of the enterprise.\nAlso, as companies transition to cloud infrastructures, their systems are becoming more complex and there is a substantial need for vendor reduction to improve integration and lower complexity.\nThe infrastructure as a service market [IaaS] is expected to grow by $136 billion from 2021 to 2025, representing a CAGR of 27%, according toResearchAndMarkets.\nMajor competitive or other industry participants include:\n\nMicrosoft(NASDAQ:MSFT)\nAmazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)\nGoogle (GOOG,GOOGL)\nTIBCO Streaming\nCloudera(NYSE:CLDR)\nRed Hat\nOracle(NYSE:ORCL)\n\nFinancial Performance\nConfluent’s recent financial results can be summarized as follows:\n\nGrowing top line revenue\nIncreasing gross profit and gross margin\nHigh and increasing operating losses\nHigh cash used in operations\n\nBelow are relevant financial results derived from the firm’s registration statement:\nAs of March 31, 2021, Confluent had $44.1 million in cash and $274.4 million in total liabilities.\nFree cash flow during the twelve months ended March 31, 2021, was negative ($74.2 million).\nIPO Details\nConfluent intends to raise $713 million in gross proceeds from an IPO of its Class A common stock, offering 23 million shares at a proposed midpoint price of $31.00.\nClass A common stockholders will receive one vote per share and Class shareholders will be entitled to ten votes per share.\nThe S&P 500 Index no longer admits firms with multiple classes of stock into its index.\nCertain existing shareholders have indicated an interest to purchase shares of up to $112 million in the aggregate at the IPO price.\nAssuming a successful IPO, the company’s enterprise value at IPO would approximate $6.9 billion, excluding the effects of underwriter over-allotment options.\nExcluding effects of underwriter options and private placement shares or restricted stock, if any, the float to outstanding shares ratio will be approximately 9.11%. A figure under 10% is generally considered a ‘low float’ stock which can be subject to significant price volatility.\nManagement says it will use the net proceeds from the IPO as follows:\n\n The principal purposes of this offering are to increase our capitalization and financial flexibility and create a public market for our Class A common stock. We intend to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses, and capital expenditures. We cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the remaining net proceeds to us from this offering. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds for acquisitions of, or strategic investments in, complementary businesses, products, services, or technologies. However, we do not have any agreements or commitments to enter into any material acquisitions or investments at this time. (Source)\n\nManagement’s presentation of the company roadshow isavailable here.\nListed bookrunners of the IPO are Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, BofA Securities, Citigroup, Barclays, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank Securities, UBS Investment Bank, Wells Fargo Securities, Cowen, D.A. Davidson & Co., JMP Securities, KeyBanc Capital Markets and Piper Sandler.\nValuation Metrics\nBelow is a table of relevant capitalization and valuation figures for the company:\n\nAs a reference, a potential partial public comparable to Confluent would be Cloudera; below is a comparison of their primary valuation metrics:\n\nThe firm’s last private market valuation was $4.5 billion in April, 2020, so the IPO will represent an increase in valuation of approximately 53% from that valuation.\nCommentary\nConfluent is seeking public investment capital for its general corporate expansion plans and to provide an ultimate exit for its venture capital firm investors.\nThose investors include top tier firms Benchmark and Sequoia Capital.\nThe firm’s financials show strong top line revenue growth and gross profit growth, but high operating losses which are a distinct negative in the current IPO market environment.\nFree cash flow for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021, was negative ($74.2 million), so the company is burning through a lot of cash.\nSales and Marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenue have fluctuated as revenue has increased; its Sales and Marketing efficiency rate dropped to 0.4x in the most recent reporting period.\nThe market opportunity for providing data/infrastructure as a service is very large and expected to grow at a high rate of growth over the coming years, so the firm has strong industry growth dynamics in its favor.\nMorgan Stanley is the lead left underwriter and IPOs led by the firm over the last 12-month period have generated an average return of 26.6% since their IPO. This is a mid-tier performance for all major underwriters during the period.\nThe primary risk to the company’s outlook is if one or more of its major platform competitors bundles competing offerings into its existing pricing structure, putting substantial pricing pressure and integration complexity pressure onto Confluent.\nAs for valuation, compared to already public and larger partial competitor Cloudera, Confluent is seeking a big premium at IPO.\nOf course, CFLT is growing revenue at a far higher rate of growth, so some of that premium is justified.\nStill, the firm has made no credible progress toward operating breakeven and is producing enormous operating losses.\nSince the IPO valuation is not cheap and the firm is generating high operating losses and cash burn, I'll watch the IPO from the sidelines.\nExpected IPO Pricing Date: June 23, 2021","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":259,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":126230447,"gmtCreate":1624573956389,"gmtModify":1703840494786,"author":{"id":"3563947259820874","authorId":"3563947259820874","name":"cykoay","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10c52887508be516b800b769e4050b2f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563947259820874","authorIdStr":"3563947259820874"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I like unity software","listText":"I like unity software","text":"I like unity software","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/126230447","repostId":"2145704596","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":253,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9960442776,"gmtCreate":1668234140095,"gmtModify":1676538032821,"author":{"id":"3563947259820874","authorId":"3563947259820874","name":"cykoay","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10c52887508be516b800b769e4050b2f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563947259820874","authorIdStr":"3563947259820874"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/C2PU.SI\">$PARKWAYLIFE REIT(C2PU.SI)$ &nbsp;</a>thisREIT is the best SG REIT that favoured most by institutions and retail investors","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/C2PU.SI\">$PARKWAYLIFE REIT(C2PU.SI)$ &nbsp;</a>thisREIT is the best SG REIT that favoured most by institutions and retail investors","text":"$PARKWAYLIFE REIT(C2PU.SI)$ thisREIT is the best SG REIT that favoured most by institutions and retail investors","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9960442776","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":671,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9093607369,"gmtCreate":1643600754216,"gmtModify":1676533835114,"author":{"id":"3563947259820874","authorId":"3563947259820874","name":"cykoay","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10c52887508be516b800b769e4050b2f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563947259820874","authorIdStr":"3563947259820874"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Looking forward for meta Quartet result","listText":"Looking forward for meta Quartet result","text":"Looking forward for meta Quartet result","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9093607369","repostId":"2207800554","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2207800554","pubTimestamp":1643584289,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2207800554?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-31 07:11","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Amazon, Facebook, and Alphabet Earnings, Jobs Report: What to Know This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2207800554","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"The wild ride in markets is likely to power on this week, with investors in store for a slew of big ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The wild ride in markets is likely to power on this week, with investors in store for a slew of big earnings and fresh reads on key unemployment data out of Washington, including the ever-important monthly jobs report.</p><p>Monday kicks off a pivotal week in the earnings season, with more than 100 companies in the S&amp;P 500 set to report fourth quarter results through Friday. Most notably, investors will tune in to presentations from Amazon (AMZN), Facebook now <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Meta Platforms</a> (FB), and Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), three of the five corporate heavyweights that account for about <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-quarter of the benchmark’s total market capitalization.</p><p>Amazon is scheduled to report figures for the last three months of 2021 after the bell on Thursday. Analysts expect adjusted earnings per share of $3.89 on revenue of $137.87 billion. With the stock down 15.5% year-to-date as of Friday’s close, a look at fourth quarter performance could be a make-or-break moment for the e-commerce giant as markets reassess tech valuations.</p><p>Facebook, known now by its rebrand to Meta Platforms, has also been under pressure in recent weeks amid the broader sell-off in technology stocks. Investors are likely to get more details about the company’s progress on its Oculus virtual reality headset when it reports on Tuesday, which stock watchers expect could give the social media platform a needed boost. Facebook is projected to report earnings of $3.83 per share, on revenue of $33.44 billion, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates.</p><p>Results from Alphabet, due out Tuesday, are expected to show adjusted earnings per share of $27.45 on revenue of $59.38 billion. Also bearing the brunt of the tech rout, shares of Alphabet are down 8% year-to-date. Stock watchers will tune in for a gauge on the momentum of its cloud platform, a component that has contributed greatly to the company’s growth and could help the stock see a rebound.</p><p>On the economic front, employment data will be in the spotlight this week. The Department of Labor’s monthly jobs report due for release on Friday will offer an updated look at the strength of hiring and labor force participation — important measures of the U.S. economy, made even more consequential in recent weeks as the impact of the latest Omicron-driven wave begins to appear in the latest surveys. Economists expect private employers added 150,000 jobs in January, lower than the previous month. The unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged from December at 3.9%, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates.</p><p>Even as Omicron’s spread may be slowing, payrolls are likely to be a bit slower to respond to falling COVID-19 cases than the real-time activity data, according to Pantheon Macroeconomics Chief Economist Ian Shepherdson.</p><p>“The surge in COVID cases has created new headwinds for the economy even as tailwinds, including the federal government’s fiscal boosts, are waning,” Bankrate senior economic analyst Mark Hamrick said in a note.</p><p>“The detrimental combination of supply chain constraints and the shortage, or lack of availability, of workers amid the Omicron surge is weighing on the nation’s economic recovery,” adding that under the circumstances, “it is hard to make the case for a huge acceleration in hiring this month.”</p><h2><b>End of a volatile month for equities</b></h2><h2></h2><p>Federal Reserve anxiety has made for a volatile January for equities. The S&amp;P 500 is poised to end the month down 7% and 8% off its all-time high as traders adjust to the reality of a more aggressive central bank and a quicker pace of interest rate hikes than initially anticipated.</p><p>Stocks whipsawed last week after remarks from Jerome Powell following the Fed’s two-day policy-setting meeting that strongly signaled a liftoff on interest rates to above their current near-zero levels was likely to come in March as policymakers look to tighten financial conditions amid a backdrop of surging inflation.</p><p>“Anytime the Fed is going from really easy to starting to tighten, there’s always uncertainty, but this has been a stomach-churning week,” Wells Fargo Investment Institute senior global equity strategist Scott Wren told Yahoo Finance Live, adding that every day has been a battle of the 200-day moving average in the S&amp;P 500.</p><p>Powell, taking on his most hawkish tone yet, prompted even big Fed watchers to sharply ramp up and revise their calls on rate hikes: Bank of America unveiled one of the most aggressive predictions on the Street, outlining expectations for seven increases this year, while JPMorgan upwardly revised its outlook from four to five hikes. On Saturday, Goldman Sachs revised its interest rate hike expectation to five times from four this year.</p><p>Charles Schwab chief fixed income strategist Kathy Jones told Yahoo Finance Live, however, that it is “premature” to talk about much more than three until the Fed offers more clarity around how it will use its balance sheet to tighten policy.</p><p>“Some of the estimates are just well ahead of reality at this stage of the game,” she said.</p><p>As investors buckle up for swing after swing, TKer’s Sam Ro points out that “gut-wrenching sell-offs are normal:” the S&amp;P 500 sees three sell-offs of 5% or greater in an average year, with the maximum average annual drawdown — or biggest intra-year sell-off — at 14%, making even the sharpest of gyrations in benchmarks in recent weeks “very much within the realm of average.&#34;</p><h2>Economic calendar</h2><ul><li><p><b>Monday: </b>MNI Chicago PMI, January (61.8 expected, 63.1 prior, upwardly revised to 64.3); Dallas Fed Manf.

Analysts expect adjusted earnings per share of $3.89 on revenue of $137.87 billion. With the stock down 15.5% year-to-date as of Friday’s close, a look at fourth quarter performance could be a make-or-break moment for the e-commerce giant as markets reassess tech valuations.Facebook, known now by its rebrand to Meta Platforms, has also been under pressure in recent weeks amid the broader sell-off in technology stocks. Investors are likely to get more details about the company’s progress on its Oculus virtual reality headset when it reports on Tuesday, which stock watchers expect could give the social media platform a needed boost. Facebook is projected to report earnings of $3.83 per share, on revenue of $33.44 billion, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates.Results from Alphabet, due out Tuesday, are expected to show adjusted earnings per share of $27.45 on revenue of $59.38 billion. Also bearing the brunt of the tech rout, shares of Alphabet are down 8% year-to-date. Stock watchers will tune in for a gauge on the momentum of its cloud platform, a component that has contributed greatly to the company’s growth and could help the stock see a rebound.On the economic front, employment data will be in the spotlight this week. The Department of Labor’s monthly jobs report due for release on Friday will offer an updated look at the strength of hiring and labor force participation — important measures of the U.S. economy, made even more consequential in recent weeks as the impact of the latest Omicron-driven wave begins to appear in the latest surveys. Economists expect private employers added 150,000 jobs in January, lower than the previous month. The unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged from December at 3.9%, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates.Even as Omicron’s spread may be slowing, payrolls are likely to be a bit slower to respond to falling COVID-19 cases than the real-time activity data, according to Pantheon Macroeconomics Chief Economist Ian Shepherdson.“The surge in COVID cases has created new headwinds for the economy even as tailwinds, including the federal government’s fiscal boosts, are waning,” Bankrate senior economic analyst Mark Hamrick said in a note.“The detrimental combination of supply chain constraints and the shortage, or lack of availability, of workers amid the Omicron surge is weighing on the nation’s economic recovery,” adding that under the circumstances, “it is hard to make the case for a huge acceleration in hiring this month.”End of a volatile month for equitiesFederal Reserve anxiety has made for a volatile January for equities. The S&P 500 is poised to end the month down 7% and 8% off its all-time high as traders adjust to the reality of a more aggressive central bank and a quicker pace of interest rate hikes than initially anticipated.Stocks whipsawed last week after remarks from Jerome Powell following the Fed’s two-day policy-setting meeting that strongly signaled a liftoff on interest rates to above their current near-zero levels was likely to come in March as policymakers look to tighten financial conditions amid a backdrop of surging inflation.“Anytime the Fed is going from really easy to starting to tighten, there’s always uncertainty, but this has been a stomach-churning week,” Wells Fargo Investment Institute senior global equity strategist Scott Wren told Yahoo Finance Live, adding that every day has been a battle of the 200-day moving average in the S&P 500.Powell, taking on his most hawkish tone yet, prompted even big Fed watchers to sharply ramp up and revise their calls on rate hikes: Bank of America unveiled one of the most aggressive predictions on the Street, outlining expectations for seven increases this year, while JPMorgan upwardly revised its outlook from four to five hikes. On Saturday, Goldman Sachs revised its interest rate hike expectation to five times from four this year.Charles Schwab chief fixed income strategist Kathy Jones told Yahoo Finance Live, however, that it is “premature” to talk about much more than three until the Fed offers more clarity around how it will use its balance sheet to tighten policy.“Some of the estimates are just well ahead of reality at this stage of the game,” she said.As investors buckle up for swing after swing, TKer’s Sam Ro points out that “gut-wrenching sell-offs are normal:” the S&P 500 sees three sell-offs of 5% or greater in an average year, with the maximum average annual drawdown — or biggest intra-year sell-off — at 14%, making even the sharpest of gyrations in benchmarks in recent weeks “very much within the realm of average.\"Economic calendarMonday: MNI Chicago PMI, January (61.8 expected, 63.1 prior, upwardly revised to 64.3); Dallas Fed Manf.

But has this slide led to a buying opportunity, given the company&#39;s prospects in the hot metaverse space? </p><h2><b>Nvidia Falls as ARM Merger Languishes</b></h2><p>Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock has tumbled 23% since the first of the year but is still up 74% compared to the same time last year, thanks to a massive appreciation during 2021. In comparison, the S&amp;P 500 has dropped 8% year-to-date but has risen 16% over the past 12 months.</p><p>The sell-off in shares has come amid reports that the graphics and automotive chipmaker was abandoning its $40B bid for U.K.-based chip designer Arm. The deal has faced significant resistance by global antitrust regulators.</p><p>In a note released earlier this week, BofA Securities said it believed Nvidia was better off walking away from the deal, which it saw as dilutive and complicated.</p><p>&#34;All in, we believe NVDA could redirect the cash/equity towards other growth endeavors in AI, Metaverse, game, autos and enterprise AI,&#34; wrote the BoA analysts, who rated the stock a buy with a price target of $375.</p><p>Enderle Group also weighed in on the deal.</p><p>&#34;ARM is a licensing entity and certainly is free to partner with NVIDIA without restriction, but getting the approvals to buy ARM would have likely placed massive restrictions on the combined company. It may have forced NVIDIA to divest part of what they now have,&#34; said Enderle in its note.</p><h2><b>Is NVIDIA a Buy?</b></h2><p>Wall Street analysts are largely bullish on the stock. Of the 42 analysts tracked by SA over the past 90 days, the average rating was buy, with 27 rating the stock a strong buy. The average price target was $335.41.</p><p>With NVDA currently trading around $239, the average price target would represent an advance of about 40% from current levels. The stock had reached a 52-week high of $346.47 last November.</p><p>SA’s authors, meanwhile, have rated the stock a hold, on average.

But has this slide led to a buying opportunity, given the company's prospects in the hot metaverse space? Nvidia Falls as ARM Merger LanguishesNvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock has tumbled 23% since the first of the year but is still up 74% compared to the same time last year, thanks to a massive appreciation during 2021. In comparison, the S&P 500 has dropped 8% year-to-date but has risen 16% over the past 12 months.The sell-off in shares has come amid reports that the graphics and automotive chipmaker was abandoning its $40B bid for U.K.-based chip designer Arm. The deal has faced significant resistance by global antitrust regulators.In a note released earlier this week, BofA Securities said it believed Nvidia was better off walking away from the deal, which it saw as dilutive and complicated.\"All in, we believe NVDA could redirect the cash/equity towards other growth endeavors in AI, Metaverse, game, autos and enterprise AI,\" wrote the BoA analysts, who rated the stock a buy with a price target of $375.Enderle Group also weighed in on the deal.\"ARM is a licensing entity and certainly is free to partner with NVIDIA without restriction, but getting the approvals to buy ARM would have likely placed massive restrictions on the combined company. It may have forced NVIDIA to divest part of what they now have,\" said Enderle in its note.Is NVIDIA a Buy?Wall Street analysts are largely bullish on the stock. Of the 42 analysts tracked by SA over the past 90 days, the average rating was buy, with 27 rating the stock a strong buy. The average price target was $335.41.With NVDA currently trading around $239, the average price target would represent an advance of about 40% from current levels. The stock had reached a 52-week high of $346.47 last November.SA’s authors, meanwhile, have rated the stock a hold, on average. SA’s Quant Ratings also give the stock a hold, largely due to NVDA's valuation, which earned an F. The company’s profitability and momentum, however, both garnered an A+.Some analysts have been particularly bullish on Nvidia’s Omniverse initiative, which the company has promoted as a platform that enables other companies to build their own metaverses. The company’s chief executive officer, Jensen Huang, has described Omniverse as bringing together the company’s expertise in artificial intelligence, simulation, graphics and infrastructure to allow companies to create digital entities such as customer service, avatars and virtual twins of factories.In a bullish report, SA contributor JR Research recently noted that some analysts have viewed Omniverse as a $100B market opportunity and that the recent sell-off has “brought NVIDIA stock back into its fair-value zone.”For a more bearish take on the stock, see SA contributor Oleh Kombaiev’s analysis on Nvidia’s stock, which he still views as overvalued.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":464,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":148696100,"gmtCreate":1625970034800,"gmtModify":1703751385087,"author":{"id":"3563947259820874","authorId":"3563947259820874","name":"cykoay","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10c52887508be516b800b769e4050b2f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563947259820874","authorIdStr":"3563947259820874"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"If you want to have 100 fold then coupang definitely is better choice","listText":"If you want to have 100 fold then coupang definitely is better choice","text":"If you want to have 100 fold then coupang definitely is better choice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/148696100","repostId":"1162091150","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":518,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":126231065,"gmtCreate":1624574114357,"gmtModify":1703840497882,"author":{"id":"3563947259820874","authorId":"3563947259820874","name":"cykoay","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10c52887508be516b800b769e4050b2f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563947259820874","authorIdStr":"3563947259820874"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I would like to say the bullish party is yet to finish as early this year","listText":"I would like to say the bullish party is yet to finish as early this year","text":"I would like to say the bullish party is yet to finish as early this year","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/126231065","repostId":"1167326019","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":209,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":126239861,"gmtCreate":1624573996753,"gmtModify":1703840495765,"author":{"id":"3563947259820874","authorId":"3563947259820874","name":"cykoay","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10c52887508be516b800b769e4050b2f","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3563947259820874","authorIdStr":"3563947259820874"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I used confluence at company it is quite useful for info sharing","listText":"I used confluence at company it is quite useful for info sharing","text":"I used confluence at company it is quite useful for info sharing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/126239861","repostId":"1159660883","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1159660883","pubTimestamp":1624549526,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1159660883?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-24 23:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Confluent IPO: Everything you need to know about Confluent","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1159660883","media":"cityindex","summary":"(Update: June 24, 2021 at 00:24 p.m. ET)\nEvent-streaming business Confluent has raised hundred of mi","content":"<p><i><b>(Update: June 24, 2021 at 00:24 p.m. ET)</b></i><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/00157d15df44b21026df501534932496\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"1868\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Event-streaming business Confluent has raised hundred of millions in recent years to fund its march to revolutionise companies’ data usage. Following the company's IPO, discover more about its background and plans.</p>\n<p><b>When was the Confluent IPO?</b></p>\n<p>Confluent's IPO date on Nasdaq was June 24.&nbsp;The company priced its shares at $36 to raise $828&nbsp;million through an offering of 23 million shares, under the ticker CFLT. This was above the expected range of between $29 and $33, and the company may be set for a valuation of more than $9 billion.</p>\n<p><b>What does Confluent do?</b></p>\n<p>Confluent is a Silicon Valley-based tech company that enables enterprises to access and interpret fluid data in the form of real-time streams, in order to better manage their operations. Information is derived from sensors placed in areas such as manufacturing floors and retail stores, which are used to monitor everything from inventory levels to stock capacity. Then, the information is transferred to a data lake for analysis.</p>\n<p>The company was founded in 2014 by LinkedIn engineers Jay Kreps, Jun Rao and Neha Narkhede, who created Apache Kafka, the open source ‘distributed storage system’ on which Confluent is based. With a $500,000 backing from LinkedIn, the trio rolled out the software platform for early use cases at the professional network, handling data streams with billions of messages.</p>\n<p>However, the ambition was bigger, and the same year the founders secured a $6.9 million round of funding led by venture capital firm Benchmark. The company quickly secured the custom of a range of tech luminaries, from Twitter to Netflix to Uber, which used the service for such functions as real-time analytics and fraud prevention.</p>\n<p>Confluent would go on to raise a further four rounds to the present day, totalling some $456 billion, according to Crunchbase.</p>\n<p>As of most recent 2020 figures, the company’s revenues are in excess of $300 million, with revenue in the first quarter of 2021 jumping 51% from the year previous. The company has around 1,500 employees.</p>\n<p><b>What is Confluent’s competition?</b></p>\n<p>Confluent’s competition comes from the likes of Amazon Web Services, Apache Software Foundation, Cloudera and Microsoft. While the company has partnerships with some of the tech giants (see below) it is also faced with the prospect of competing against many of them. However, the edge may be in Kreps’ assertion that the Apache Kafka system is faster than traditional messaging systems, and hence more suited to large volume data streams.</p>\n<p><b>How does Confluent make money?</b></p>\n<p>Confluent makes money through subscriptions of its products Confluent Cloud, a fully-managed cloud-based software as a service offering, as well as its Confluent Platform, its self-managed multicloud software product. It also sells support licenses for its open-source software, as well as proprietary software, freemium services and other miscellaneous licenses.</p>\n<p><b>What is Confluent 's business strategy?</b></p>\n<p>Confluent’s business strategy is based on the concept of combining on-premises services with managed services, as mentioned above. However, the company reportedly sees the coronavirus pandemic, which resulted in customers needing to advance their digital capabilities on less budget, as accelerating a shift to managed services.</p>\n<p>June 2020 saw the company hire new CFO Steffan Tomlinson, former CFO of Google’s cloud division and armed with a demonstrable track record in IPOs, indicating the company’s appetite for flotation and accelerated growth.</p>\n<p>The company has also initiated partnerships with giant tech incumbents to broaden its reach. In April 2019 it partnered with Google Cloud and integrated Confluent’s managed service with Google Cloud Platform.</p>\n<p>Additionally, November 2020 saw the company announce plans for a partnership with IBM, where the computer manufacturer would be reselling Confluent Platform to its own users.</p>\n<p>Finally, in January 2021 Confluent unveiled a strategic alliance with Microsoft that would allow Confluent Cloud to be accessed as a fully managed service directly available on Microsoft Azure.</p>\n<p><b>Is Confluent profitable?</b></p>\n<p>Confluent is not currency profitable; it reportedly lost $229.8 million in 2020. That year, the company’s losses widened following a jump in operating expenses to $122.5 million, although this was caused mainly by equity compensation to investors.</p>\n<p>As with all highly-capitalised businesses with a significant burn rate, investors will be watchful of the scale of losses and if Confluent’s margins look to trend in the right direction soon.</p>\n<p><b>How much is Confluent worth?</b></p>\n<p>The 2021 Confluent IPO could see a valuation of around $9 billion.</p>\n<p>Prior to that, the most recent valuation in April 2020, when it raised a $250 million series E round of funding, saw Confluent worth $4.5 billion, with a 2019 raise of $125 million equalling a $2.5 billion valuation.</p>\n<p><b>Who owns Confluent?</b></p>\n<p>Confluent is owned by a variety of shareholders, with Benchmark as the largest at 15.3% ownership of Confluent's common stock. Other stakes are held by the likes of Sequoia Capital (9.3%), Index Ventures (13%) and Jun Rao (10.6%). The percentage of the business retained by the founders is unclear.</p>\n<p><b>Who are the directors of Confluent?</b></p>\n<p>Confluent has a number of key personnel that have helped progress the company to its current multi-billion dollar valuation.

However, the edge may be in Kreps’ assertion that the Apache Kafka system is faster than traditional messaging systems, and hence more suited to large volume data streams.\nHow does Confluent make money?\nConfluent makes money through subscriptions of its products Confluent Cloud, a fully-managed cloud-based software as a service offering, as well as its Confluent Platform, its self-managed multicloud software product. It also sells support licenses for its open-source software, as well as proprietary software, freemium services and other miscellaneous licenses.\nWhat is Confluent 's business strategy?\nConfluent’s business strategy is based on the concept of combining on-premises services with managed services, as mentioned above. However, the company reportedly sees the coronavirus pandemic, which resulted in customers needing to advance their digital capabilities on less budget, as accelerating a shift to managed services.\nJune 2020 saw the company hire new CFO Steffan Tomlinson, former CFO of Google’s cloud division and armed with a demonstrable track record in IPOs, indicating the company’s appetite for flotation and accelerated growth.\nThe company has also initiated partnerships with giant tech incumbents to broaden its reach. In April 2019 it partnered with Google Cloud and integrated Confluent’s managed service with Google Cloud Platform.\nAdditionally, November 2020 saw the company announce plans for a partnership with IBM, where the computer manufacturer would be reselling Confluent Platform to its own users.\nFinally, in January 2021 Confluent unveiled a strategic alliance with Microsoft that would allow Confluent Cloud to be accessed as a fully managed service directly available on Microsoft Azure.\nIs Confluent profitable?\nConfluent is not currency profitable; it reportedly lost $229.8 million in 2020. That year, the company’s losses widened following a jump in operating expenses to $122.5 million, although this was caused mainly by equity compensation to investors.\nAs with all highly-capitalised businesses with a significant burn rate, investors will be watchful of the scale of losses and if Confluent’s margins look to trend in the right direction soon.\nHow much is Confluent worth?\nThe 2021 Confluent IPO could see a valuation of around $9 billion.\nPrior to that, the most recent valuation in April 2020, when it raised a $250 million series E round of funding, saw Confluent worth $4.5 billion, with a 2019 raise of $125 million equalling a $2.5 billion valuation.\nWho owns Confluent?\nConfluent is owned by a variety of shareholders, with Benchmark as the largest at 15.3% ownership of Confluent's common stock. Other stakes are held by the likes of Sequoia Capital (9.3%), Index Ventures (13%) and Jun Rao (10.6%). The percentage of the business retained by the founders is unclear.\nWho are the directors of Confluent?\nConfluent has a number of key personnel that have helped progress the company to its current multi-billion dollar valuation. Here are some of them, correct as of June 21 2021.\n\n\n\nPosition\nName\n\n\nFounder and CEO\nJay Kreps\n\n\nCo-founder\nJun Rao\n\n\nChief Financial Officer\nSteffan Tomlinson\n\n\nChief Marketing Officer\nStephanie Buscemi\n\n\nChief Product and Engineering Officer\nGanesh Srinivasan\n\n\nChief People Officer\nCheryl Dalrymple\n\n\nChief Customer Officer\nRoger Scott\n\n\n\nRelated: Confluent

During that fast-paced, highly informative hour, traders and investors tune in to get the major news of the day, the catalysts behind those moves and the corresponding price action for the upcoming session.\nOn any given day, the show will cover at least 20 stocks determined by co-hosts Joel Elconin and Dennis Dick along with producer Spencer Israel.\nIt's not an easy job being a Wall Street analyst, and making a ratings change before an earnings report is a bold, respectable move.\nThis scenario applies to Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU), which is the PreMarket Prep Stock of the Day following its third-quarter report.\nMicron's 6-Day Winning Streak Ends: Micron made its all-time high in April at $96.96. It has been in the retreat mode ever since and so far, the low of the move was made on June 21 ($75.71).\nSince making that low, it was higher in five of six sessions, with the string being broken Tuesday with a mild retreat ($83.38-$82.88).\nMicron's Wednesday Upgrade, Price Action: Before the open on Wednesday, BMO Capital changed its rating on the issue. The firm upgraded Micron from Market Perform to Outperform and raised the price target from $90 to $110.\nThat news, along with a strong market, boosted the shares to new rebound high ($85.40), its highest level since June 1, when it peaked at $85.74. It retreated to end the session Wednesday at $84.98, for just over a $2 gain.\nMicron's Q3 Beat-And-Raise: After the close on Wednesday, the company announced a third-quarter adjusted EPS of $1.88, which beat a $1.71 estimate, along with a sales beat of $7.42 billion vs. a $7.23-billion estimate.\nThe company raised its fourth-quarter EPS guidance to a range of $2.20-$2.40 vs. a $2.18 estimate and, for sales, $8 billion to $8.4 billion against a $7.86-billion Street estimate.\nMicron's Report Not Good Enough: Unfortunately for Micron shareholders, concerns over the supply shortage ending soon than expected and a corresponding decline in prices has dominated the price action in the issue.\nThe relative weakness in the technology sector in Thursday’s session didn't help matters. \nMicron Price Action: The barrage of selling from the after-hours and premarket carried over into Thursday's regular session.\nAfter a much lower open ($82.24 vs. $84.98) and no bounce at all, investors are being forced to sell into a falling market.\nThe stock ultimately lost 5.73% Thursday, closing at $80.11. \nMicron Moving Forward: This is not the price action the BMO analyst was expecting after a beat on both ends and raised guidance, but the firm's call is not for one quarter, but more into the future.\nIn fact, some investors who want to own Micron may use the retreat as a “buy the dip” opportunity.\nFrom a technical point of view as of 2 p.m., the issue had matched its daily low from June 24 ($79.91) and was attempting to return to the $80 handle.\nIf the decline continues, the next daily lows come in at its June 23 low ($78.07), After that it drops another dollar to its June 22 low ($77.05) and the low of the move ($75.71) that was flanked on the day prior at $76.13.\n\nThe full discussion on the issue from Thursday’s show can be found here:\nPhoto: courtesy of

As the manager of the Magellan Fund at Fidelity Investments between 1977 and 1990, Lynch averaged a 29.2% annual return, consistently more than double the S&amp;P 500 stock market index, making it the best-performing mutual fund in the world. Along with another famous investor, Warren Buffett, both have some rich investment quotes, and I will place a few from each throughout this article.</p><p>Market downturns can be overwhelming and scary as investors watch the price of their holdings fall; it can be tempting to sell or hit pause. Peter Lynch said, &#34;The trick is not to learn to trust your gut feelings, but rather to discipline yourself to ignore them. Stand by your stocks as long as the fundamental story of the company hasn&#39;t changed…People who succeed in the stock market also accept periodic losses, setbacks, and unexpected occurrences.&#34; We are seeing a lot of panic in the markets that revolve around fears of:</p><p>While these issues may seem daunting, and a Fed rate increase may be inevitable, there is no need to panic. These problems and concerns are not guarantees of an economic downturn, a recession, or an extended bear market. Markets move up and down based on investor sentiment. Just a few weeks ago, on January 4, 2022, the S&amp;P 500 and Dow hit all-time highs.</p><p>Stock market volatility is largely a cause of uncertainty and is often characterized by extreme price fluctuations and heavy trading volume. The matters mentioned above create increased uncertainty and a disproportionate number of sellers. However, many of these issues can lead to market rotation. Sector rotation refers to taking money from one sector of the market and moving it to another in anticipation of demand for stocks in that sector. Inflation and rising rates often can lead to a sell-off in overvalued growth stocks and an investment in stocks that fall in the energy or finance sector. Notably, the markets can go up during rate hikes, and the economy can grow.</p><p>Many companies in sectors such as energy, finance, material, and REITs, have strong earnings results during periods of inflation. Likewise, suppose your concern is the market will continue to be volatile for an extended period. In that case, it pays to be diversified and own some of our top consumer staple stocks (food, beverages, and personal hygiene) or top utility stocks (electric, gas, water, communication). It also helps to get paid while waiting for the dust to settle. Top Quant Dividend Stocks with safe dividends offer a buffer to the downside. In either scenario, the best strategy is to invest in companies where the fundamentals are strong; stocks characterized with sustainable growth, solid valuation frameworks, and robust profits. A correction or bear market can pose an opportunity to buy something you like at a fire-sale discount, which is why we are providing five tips for navigating a volatile market. As Warren Buffett has said, “If I see a sale in my favorite store, I go and buy some more of the stuff I like.” In line with the principles of investing legends, please find my best suggestions for managing your portfolio in a volatile market.</p><p><b>5 Tips For Investing During a Turbulent Market</b></p><p><b>1. Stay Invested - Think Long Term</b></p><p>“Bargains are the holy grail of the true stock picker. We see the latest correction not as a disaster, but as an opportunity to acquire more shares at low prices. This is how great fortunes are made over time,” said Peter Lynch. Market volatility is usually temporary, and it typically pays to keep your money invested. The suspense of watching investments lose value, whether you&#39;re new or old to trading, is terrifying. Pulling that money out of the market is a risk that requires careful consideration because if you pull out, you risk locking in losses. If you purchase at a higher price point and sell after a price drop, you&#39;re selling for less than you paid. If the price rebounds, you haven&#39;t lost anything. The reason it&#39;s crucial to stay invested is because traditionally, the best days in the market follow the worst days, and it&#39;s impossible to time the market with precision and accuracy. It&#39;s essential to avoid the typical investor pitfall of capitulating during volatile times. &#34;Investors crave control and may be tempted to act in a way that we know is likely to hurt their retirement strategy by selling out of the market after a significant loss, locking in those losses, but with every intention of reentering the market when it feels safer, whenever that may be,&#34; said Katherine Roy, J.P. Morgan Chief Retirement Strategist.</p><p>J.P. Morgan&#39;s Guide to Retirement (GTR) highlights &#34;The impact of being out of the market&#34; and how behavior driven by loss aversion and trying to market time is one of the biggest detriments to portfolio returns. For perspective, the image below showcased how from January 2, 2001, through December 31, 2020, six of the seven best trading days occurred after the worst days.</p><p>Exiting the market because of fear, in an effort to minimize loss may result in bigger losses or missing the best days of trading in volatile markets. Stay invested and think long-term.</p><p><b>2. Put Your Money to Work Consistently (Dollar-Cost-Averaging) Rather Than Sitting in Cash</b></p><p>“If you invest $1,000 in a stock, all you can lose is $1,000, but you stand to gain $10,000 or even $50,000 over time if you’re patient,” said Peter Lynch. For a long-term investor, if you’re fortunate to have cash on the sidelines, market volatility presents great potential to buy securities at better valuations. Downturns are an effective way to improve the quality of your portfolio by increasing holdings to high(er) quality companies that may have been expensive, overstretched, or outside of your price point. Looking at the last correction which took place in March of 2020 during the peak of COVID restrictions and lockdowns, you can see in the chart below that the market has more than doubled from its panic drawdown. With volatility, these companies may now be more attractive again and become undervalued with the opportunity to purchase and capitalize on future growth.</p><p>Over the long term, one of the best investment strategies to maximize returns and reduce risk is through dollar-cost averaging (DCA). DCA is the practice of systematically investing your cash over regular intervals, regardless of stock price. DCA is one of the most effective strategies for investors looking to smooth out the natural dips and rips that occur in markets. DCA also helps to avoid the mistake of trying to time the markets. Regarding market timing, Charles Schwab research shows “that the cost of waiting for the perfect moment to invest typically exceeds the benefit of even perfect timing. And because timing the market perfectly is nearly impossible, the best strategy for most of us is not to try to market-time at all”. Holding cash is essential for emergency funds or if you are about to retire or saving for a house. It is important to have money on the side if you need cash in the next few years or annual household operating costs. However, large amounts of capital held in cash generally produce lower returns.</p><p>If you’re holding cash as a means of loss aversion, you’re losing the opportunity for growth. Sitting on cash, especially in the current inflationary environment, is like throwing money away or lighting it on fire. If $100 that sat in cash last year is only worth $93 today given the 7% inflation, taking that forward, even if inflation moderates back to the Fed’s target of 2%, that moderation won’t happen overnight; it will most likely settle around the 3-4% range. Even then, today’s $93 will be worth less than $90 over the next year because of the impact of inflation and loss of purchasing power associated with purely sitting in cash. “Today, people who hold cash equivalents feel comfortable. They shouldn’t. They have opted for a terrible long-term asset, one that pays virtually nothing and is certain to depreciate in value”, Warren Buffett.</p><p><b>3. Know What You Own</b></p><p>In the words of Peter Lynch, “Know what you own, and know why you own it.” This advice is straightforward and a no-brainer. If you cannot understand what a company does, why invest? Additionally, investing in friends’ projects or the latest meme stock because it’s trending may not be the best opportunity for you.</p><p>Fortunately, Seeking Alpha’s research, news, and quant grades can help you immediately understand your investments. Notably, the quant ratings and factor grades help to provide an instant characterization of your stock, ETF, or REIT’s strength compared to its peer group.</p><p>The internet and stock market are full of “tips” for getting rich quickly. Putting your money into investments simply out of fear of missing out (FOMO) without ever reading the fine print, or failing to understand the investment, can set you up for a rollercoaster ride. Stay true to your investment strategies and risk tolerance, staying the course to achieving your goals. Pick stocks that have strong fundamentals and will benefit you in the long run. A deep dive on a stock&#39;s valuation framework is just one click away.</p><p><b>4. Focus on Good Companies And Diversify</b></p><p>As the markets pull back, you may find success in identifying stocks with fair valuations that are at great price points and have taken a hit during market volatility. These securities can easily be found in our Top Stocks By Quant screen. Seeking Alpha Contributor and Strategist, Lawrence Fuller, believes a Midterm Correction Is Par For The Course. He states, “Provided there is no recession, this correction is presenting opportunities to invest in quality and value.” Paradoxically, even if you hold an opinion similar to Mike Wilson from Morgan Stanley, the market&#39;s biggest bear according to CNBC, who suggests investors are dangerously downplaying a collision between a tightening Fed and slowing growth. Largely, Mike Wilson believes the market could decline another 10% and that investors should double down on defensive stocks. As I mentioned previously, it pays to be diversified and own some of our top consumer staple stocks (food, beverages and personal hygiene) or top utility stocks (electric, gas, water, communication). If you believe inflation is a key concern, then you would want to inflation-proof your portfolio with our top energy stocks or top financial stocks. Again, it also helps to get paid while you wait for the dust to settle. Top Quant Dividend Stocks with safe dividends offer a buffer to the downside.</p><p>The key to long-term investing is finding high-quality companies&#39; stocks that are characterized with sustainable growth, solid valuation frameworks, robust profits, positive earnings revisions, and strong momentum compared to peers.</p><p>As Buffett says, “It’s far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price,” which is why I have included my Top 10 Stocks to buy in 2022, which highlights ten high-quality companies that should do well in a correction or stock market rally.</p><p>It is a great start to seek out relatively priced companies able to cover their debt burden and cost of capital that isn&#39;t overleveraged relative to their industry. You want companies with a strong track record of earnings growth and high earnings quality. In rising interest rate environments, Value Stocks tend to be great investments as they tend to have strong balance sheets, especially after periods of relative underperformance in comparison to Growth Stocks and the tech stocks we&#39;ve seen dominate over the last decade. However, specific growth-oriented sectors can still insulate in high interest-rate and volatile environments if they possess solid fundamentals and underlying metrics.</p><p>In the long run, investing in high quality removes the need to market time Growth Vs. Value as your portfolio ultimately will be made up of both and should benefit in all market cycles relative to purely growth or purely value.</p><p><b>5. Find Resources and Tools to Educate Yourself</b></p><p>When people get scared, they tend to make emotional investing decisions, frequently trading during volatile periods. “You’ve got to be prepared when you buy a stock to have it go down 50% or more and be comfortable with it, as long as you’re comfortable with the holding,” says Buffett.</p><p>There are many stock market investment research and analysis sites with helpful information.

Know What You OwnIn the words of Peter Lynch, “Know what you own, and know why you own it.” This advice is straightforward and a no-brainer. If you cannot understand what a company does, why invest? Additionally, investing in friends’ projects or the latest meme stock because it’s trending may not be the best opportunity for you.Fortunately, Seeking Alpha’s research, news, and quant grades can help you immediately understand your investments. Notably, the quant ratings and factor grades help to provide an instant characterization of your stock, ETF, or REIT’s strength compared to its peer group.The internet and stock market are full of “tips” for getting rich quickly.

Largely, Mike Wilson believes the market could decline another 10% and that investors should double down on defensive stocks. As I mentioned previously, it pays to be diversified and own some of our top consumer staple stocks (food, beverages and personal hygiene) or top utility stocks (electric, gas, water, communication).

However, specific growth-oriented sectors can still insulate in high interest-rate and volatile environments if they possess solid fundamentals and underlying metrics.In the long run, investing in high quality removes the need to market time Growth Vs. Value as your portfolio ultimately will be made up of both and should benefit in all market cycles relative to purely growth or purely value.5.
