in an effort to drive unit volume growth.</li><li>Gross margins likely to come down, but profits can still rise.</li><li>Shares remain at the low end of yearly trading range.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c563d1112f151135a2eb99d5300d4bf3\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"501\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Sjo</span></p><p>Over the past couple of years, one of the areas that has seen the most inflation has been vehicle pricing. Electric vehicle maker Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) had certainly raised prices around the globe on multiple models thanks tostrong demand as well as inflationary pressures leading to higher costs. Late last year however, the company started to reduce pricing in China and offer incentives in other countries to help with sales, but these efforts weren&#39;t enough to meet Q4 delivery expectations. This year will be a very different one for the automaker, however, as more price cuts will likely be needed to drive delivery volume growth in a meaningful way. Today, I&#39;d like to examine how this could impact overall results.</p><p>To think about where things are going, we first have to look at where they have been. In the chart below, I&#39;ve shown what Tesla&#39;s automotive revenues per unit has been since the start of 2019, which is when the Model 3 ramp really went into full blast. This number is simply total automotive revenue, including leasing revenue and credit sales revenues, divided by the number of vehicles delivered in the quarter. Other people may calculate average selling prices differently, but this is how I want to show things for simplicity.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/16835a805988e2a320c6d129be17e614\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"399\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Automotive Revenue Per Delivered Vehicle (Company Filings)</span></p><p>In Q3 2022, Tesla reported $54,364 in automotive revenues per vehicle delivered. That number is expected to come down a couple of percent in Q4 due to three reasons. First, there were price cuts in China during the quarter, along with numerous end of quarter incentives around the globe to help with sales. Second, the mix of Model 3 and Y vehicles delivered was higher, which lowers the average per vehicle. Finally, the leasing percentage ticked up a little, also hurting the average. On the flip side, Tesla could recognize a bit of previously deferred full self-driving revenues, perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars, but that would create an apples to oranges comparison here.</p><p>For 2023, my current estimate is that Tesla will deliver about 1.94 million vehicles, which is just a little under its long term growth target of 50% growth per year. For this argument, let&#39;s assume that the average revenue per delivery comes down to $48,000, which reflects the latest price cuts in China as well as more potential price cuts to drive demand in other countries. This results in a little more than $23 billion in automotive revenue per quarter, and for this exercise, I&#39;m just assuming each quarter has the same amount of deliveries. As we&#39;ve seen in the past, the ending numbers will likely be lower in the first quarter and then ramp throughout the year.</p><p>With Tesla increasing volumes by about 50% this year, one would likely expect that it can reduce its costs per unit as well. Some key materials, especially on the battery side, have shown some deflation recently, which should help the company&#39;s cost structure. For this argument, let&#39;s assume Tesla reduces its cost per delivered vehicle by $2,000 over Q3 2022 levels, where GAAP automotive gross margins came in at 27.88%. The chart below shows how overall GAAP automotive gross margins have fared over the same timeline used above. These margins include credit sales, because that&#39;s what appears on the income statement, but many analysts and investors also focus on non-GAAP margins too that exclude credits.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3b27315de6bb9822a78c330cedda1775\" tg-width=\"585\" tg-height=\"383\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Tesla GAAP Automotive Gross Margin (Company Filings)</span></p><p>In the projection I detailed above, Tesla&#39;s gross margin drops to 22.49% for this year, a nearly 540 basis point drop over Q3 2022 levels. Some might consider this to be a disaster for the company. Well, it turns out that in this example, Tesla&#39;s gross margin dollar figure actually increases by $24 million to $5.236 billion. That&#39;s the power of the extra volume here. Should revenues per unit come in higher or the cost per unit come in lower, there would obviously be even more upside for gross margin dollars. For now, I&#39;m not assuming that Cybertruck launch costs will be too material to the overall year&#39;s results, but that&#39;s an item that we can examine further as the year progresses.</p><p>Of course, the automotive gross margin picture is just one part of Tesla. In Q3 2022, for example, the energy and services segment also combined for $170 million in gross profits. A number of Tesla bulls are expecting storage sales to surge this year, which could deliver a lot more gross profit here. Over the course of the full year, that could mean at least a billion dollars. Thus, it will just be a matter of how total operating expenses fare, if they rise a bit along with the surge in total revenue. Tesla is also expected to generate more interest income and have less interest expense this year. Thus, the Street currently expects more than 25% growth in non-GAAP earnings per share this year to $5.11, although that number was approaching $6 about three months ago before price cuts began and economic worries started to really increase.</p><p>So what&#39;s the key here? Well, that gross margin figure will be very closely watched. If I reduce the hit this year to just 4 percentage points instead of the 5.4 shown above, gross margin dollars increase by $325 million per quarter. Holding all else equal, and assuming a 15% tax rate along with another small increase in the share count, you get 30 cents of earnings per share upside. If you want to see automotive gross margin dollars hold at their Q3 2022 level, watch the $48,000 per vehicle delivered price average, along with roughly 22.5% in GAAP automotive gross margins. If Tesla has to cut prices further or margins trend closer to 20%, then you are likely to see earnings per share come in below $5 this year, which will disappoint many of the bulls.</p><p>As for Tesla shares, they remain stuck towards the lower end of their yearly range, trading below $120 on Tuesday. Elon Musk&#39;s purchase of Twitter and the resulting share sales and drama there has hurt Tesla sentiment. Investors have also worried about how price cuts could impact revenues and margins in this very competitive space, as that could mean less than expected earnings per share growth. The Street remains very positive on the stock, with the average price target of nearly $217 reflecting tremendous upside, but that key valuation figure was at $305 just three months ago. I expect that we&#39;ll see a lot of price target changes coming after the Q4 earnings report in two weeks as analysts get a lot more color on how 2023 could look.</p><p>In the end, 2023 will look a lot different for Tesla than the last couple of years. Instead of rising prices and generally higher gross margins, the company is now reducing prices in many areas to drive volume growth towards its longer term targets. That could result in a meaningfully lower GAAP gross margin percentage for Tesla if it cannot drive costs lower enough, but that doesn&#39;t necessarily mean gross margin dollars will also fall. As long as the margin percentage doesn&#39;t crash, Tesla has a chance to grow its margin dollars and thus earnings per share this year, although analysts have reduced their expectations a bit in recent months. That earnings per share growth will likely be needed to get shares back above the $200 level that analysts see the stock worth.</p><p><i>This article is written by Bill Maurer for reference only.

For this argument, let's assume that the average revenue per delivery comes down to $48,000, which reflects the latest price cuts in China as well as more potential price cuts to drive demand in other countries. This results in a little more than $23 billion in automotive revenue per quarter, and for this exercise, I'm just assuming each quarter has the same amount of deliveries. As we've seen in the past, the ending numbers will likely be lower in the first quarter and then ramp throughout the year.With Tesla increasing volumes by about 50% this year, one would likely expect that it can reduce its costs per unit as well. Some key materials, especially on the battery side, have shown some deflation recently, which should help the company's cost structure. For this argument, let's assume Tesla reduces its cost per delivered vehicle by $2,000 over Q3 2022 levels, where GAAP automotive gross margins came in at 27.88%. The chart below shows how overall GAAP automotive gross margins have fared over the same timeline used above. These margins include credit sales, because that's what appears on the income statement, but many analysts and investors also focus on non-GAAP margins too that exclude credits.Tesla GAAP Automotive Gross Margin (Company Filings)In the projection I detailed above, Tesla's gross margin drops to 22.49% for this year, a nearly 540 basis point drop over Q3 2022 levels. Some might consider this to be a disaster for the company. Well, it turns out that in this example, Tesla's gross margin dollar figure actually increases by $24 million to $5.236 billion. That's the power of the extra volume here. Should revenues per unit come in higher or the cost per unit come in lower, there would obviously be even more upside for gross margin dollars. For now, I'm not assuming that Cybertruck launch costs will be too material to the overall year's results, but that's an item that we can examine further as the year progresses.Of course, the automotive gross margin picture is just one part of Tesla. In Q3 2022, for example, the energy and services segment also combined for $170 million in gross profits. A number of Tesla bulls are expecting storage sales to surge this year, which could deliver a lot more gross profit here. Over the course of the full year, that could mean at least a billion dollars. Thus, it will just be a matter of how total operating expenses fare, if they rise a bit along with the surge in total revenue. Tesla is also expected to generate more interest income and have less interest expense this year. Thus, the Street currently expects more than 25% growth in non-GAAP earnings per share this year to $5.11, although that number was approaching $6 about three months ago before price cuts began and economic worries started to really increase.So what's the key here? Well, that gross margin figure will be very closely watched. If I reduce the hit this year to just 4 percentage points instead of the 5.4 shown above, gross margin dollars increase by $325 million per quarter. Holding all else equal, and assuming a 15% tax rate along with another small increase in the share count, you get 30 cents of earnings per share upside. If you want to see automotive gross margin dollars hold at their Q3 2022 level, watch the $48,000 per vehicle delivered price average, along with roughly 22.5% in GAAP automotive gross margins. If Tesla has to cut prices further or margins trend closer to 20%, then you are likely to see earnings per share come in below $5 this year, which will disappoint many of the bulls.As for Tesla shares, they remain stuck towards the lower end of their yearly range, trading below $120 on Tuesday. Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter and the resulting share sales and drama there has hurt Tesla sentiment. Investors have also worried about how price cuts could impact revenues and margins in this very competitive space, as that could mean less than expected earnings per share growth. The Street remains very positive on the stock, with the average price target of nearly $217 reflecting tremendous upside, but that key valuation figure was at $305 just three months ago. I expect that we'll see a lot of price target changes coming after the Q4 earnings report in two weeks as analysts get a lot more color on how 2023 could look.In the end, 2023 will look a lot different for Tesla than the last couple of years. Instead of rising prices and generally higher gross margins, the company is now reducing prices in many areas to drive volume growth towards its longer term targets. That could result in a meaningfully lower GAAP gross margin percentage for Tesla if it cannot drive costs lower enough, but that doesn't necessarily mean gross margin dollars will also fall. As long as the margin percentage doesn't crash, Tesla has a chance to grow its margin dollars and thus earnings per share this year, although analysts have reduced their expectations a bit in recent months. That earnings per share growth will likely be needed to get shares back above the $200 level that analysts see the stock worth.This article is written by Bill Maurer for reference only.

While the sector is incredibly risky, if investors had to pick between AMC Entertainment or Cinemark, one may have the edge over the other.In this piece, we used TipRanks’ Comparison Tool to check out two movie theater stocks — CNK and AMC — to see which stock has the best potential. Regarding upside potential from analyst price targets, CNK looks the best, but let’s look into each stock and the theatre industry further.Well before the COVID-19 crisis capsized the global economy, movie theater stocks were courting trouble. With streaming services like Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) diving headfirst into the broader film and television arena, consumers suddenly found themselves with a more convenient and cheaper mechanism for entertainment. Add in the disruption of the pandemic – leading to a temporary shutdown of non-essential businesses – and the box office incurred an unprecedented catastrophe.Still, the gradual return to normal has clearly benefited movie theater stocks. For the better part of two years, consumers found themselves under quarantine or otherwise restricted from normal activities. With mitigation protocols fading, though, many people rushed out into the real world, eager to reclaim said activities. One such social endeavor, of course, involved watching a blockbuster on the big screen.High-profile and much-anticipated films – particularly the record-shattering Top Gun: Maverick – brought audiences back to the box office. Although movie theater stocks responded to the implications of increased traffic, one glaring headwind remained: the cineplex business depends on Hollywood’s willingness to spend big on major blockbusters.In other words, content diversity is now one of the biggest – if not the biggest – challenge facing movie theater stocks.In early August, I wrote, “Back in 2000, the top 10 grossing films at the domestic box office featured a wide range of genres. From action movies to comedies to even a biopic of American activist Erin Brockovich, the consumer ecosystem at the time facilitated content diversity. Since people were willing to pay for art, Hollywood studios gave moviegoers exactly what they wanted.”“Fast forward to 2019, and the situation changed dramatically. Here, the top 10 grossing films mostly featured science fiction or comic-book-related films. Stated differently, if Hollywood wants to compete in the modern entertainment arena, it must pump out costly summer blockbusters.”While the solution seems simple, it’s also not. Production studios must gamble that their investments will be worth it. Otherwise, entire organizations can go belly up. Given this trying circumstance, which one of the major movie theater stocks will weather the storm the best?AMC Entertainment (NYSE: AMC)From a bird’s-eye-perspective, AMC Entertainment seemingly enjoys top-dog status among movie theater stocks. It’s not so much that the company is fundamentally sound. The cineplex operator business features significant challenges and also suffers from a dependency problem. In other words, companies in the segment don’t fully control their fate.However, it would be foolish not to mention that AMC features a certain pizazz that’s missing from other movie theater stocks. Namely, AMC has attracted an army of meme traders or retail investors that coordinate their efforts via social media platforms on popular equities, typically in an attempt to spark a short squeeze.Indeed, AMC was on life support during the initial onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic, unable to generate revenue amid government restrictions on personal mobility. However, the influx of cash that meme traders delivered to embattled organizations like AMC meant that the cineplex operator could build up its balance sheet.As of the second quarter of this year, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $965 million. To put this into context, on December 31, 2020, AMC had only $308 million in cash.Still, investors will want to be cautious about overdoing it with AMC stock. Primarily, the balance sheet itself is in deficit to the tune of $2.33 billion. Therefore, it’s possible that should any other shocks impacting movie theater stocks materialize, management may be forced to induce dilutive actions.Is AMC Stock a Buy, According to Analysts?Turning to Wall Street, AMC stock has a Moderate Sell consensus rating based on two Holds and three Sells assigned in the past three months. The average AMC stock price target is $5.53, implying 44.2% downside potential.Cinemark (NYSE: CNK)Hardly as exciting as its counterpart, Cinemark is the quiet kid of movie theater stocks. While it still brings home the bacon, the scale isn’t up to par with AMC Entertainment. For instance, in Q2 2022, Cinemark posted revenue of $744 million, representing year-over-year growth of 152%.On the other hand, during the same period, AMC posted top-line sales of $1.17 billion in Q2 2022, up 162% year-over-year. Therefore, with a bigger footprint and far larger social cachet thanks to the meme-stock phenomenon, AMC would seem to be the clear winner among movie theater stocks.However, the key difference comes down to implied forward stability. While AMC has more cash (Cinemark has $695 million in cash and equivalents in the most recent quarter), the latter’s total stockholder equity is in positive territory, to the tune of $208 million.To be upfront, from a retained earnings perspective, neither one of the movie theater stocks looks appealing. However, Cinemark has a more manageable loss, at $537 million. In sharp contrast, AMC’s retained earnings loss sits at a staggering $7 billion.Is CNK Stock a Buy, According to Analysts?Turning to Wall Street, CNK stock has a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on four Buys and three Holds assigned in the past three months. The average Cinemark price target is $21.43, implying 53.8% upside potential.Conclusion: CNK is More Stable Than AMCFor the speculative investor, AMC stock may be attractive because of its potential to do wild things. Honestly, predicting meme trades is incredibly difficult, and one never knows when the bullish momentum will eventually collapse. On the other hand, CNK stock will almost certainly appeal more to conservative investors. With a much more stable balance sheet, Cinemark facilitates greater confidence.Of course, the above narrative is all relative. Again, neither company inspires trust on an absolute basis. Still, if one had to make a choice, risk-averse investors would probably elect CNK.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":397,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":899986737,"gmtCreate":1628152021029,"gmtModify":1703502163497,"author":{"id":"3564741752299779","authorId":"3564741752299779","name":"Johnstar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3564741752299779","authorIdStr":"3564741752299779"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok boss&nbsp;","listText":"Ok boss&nbsp;","text":"Ok boss","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/899986737","repostId":"1184393508","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":355,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":161292639,"gmtCreate":1623927643121,"gmtModify":1703823685638,"author":{"id":"3564741752299779","authorId":"3564741752299779","name":"Johnstar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3564741752299779","authorIdStr":"3564741752299779"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok noted boss&nbsp;","listText":"Ok noted boss&nbsp;","text":"Ok noted boss","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/161292639","repostId":"2143979397","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":368,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":355422813,"gmtCreate":1617097698532,"gmtModify":1704801932217,"author":{"id":"3564741752299779","authorId":"3564741752299779","name":"Johnstar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3564741752299779","authorIdStr":"3564741752299779"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Why South Korea scared to launch&nbsp;","listText":"Why South Korea scared to launch&nbsp;","text":"Why South Korea scared to launch","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/355422813","repostId":"1190545496","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1190545496","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1617097247,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1190545496?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-30 17:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"South Korea's SKIET to launch IPO to raise at least $1 bln, sources","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1190545496","media":"Reuters","summary":"HONG KONG/SEOUL, March 30 (Reuters) - South Korea’s SK IE Technology (SKIET) will begin its initial ","content":"<p>HONG KONG/SEOUL, March 30 (Reuters) - South Korea’s SK IE Technology (SKIET) will begin its initial public offering (IPO) process Wednesday as it aims to raise at least $1 billion, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the matter.</p><p>The company received preliminary approval Tuesday for the IPO from the Korea Exchange after lodging its application in December.</p><p>Official filings will be made Wednesday to start the deal, the sources said who could not be named as the information has not yet been made public.</p><p>SK IET’s parent SK Innovation Co Ltd declined to comment.

The Mountain View, California-based company offers individuals access to over 4,000 Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) from 200 educational institutions and corporations. The company also offers over two dozen degree programs at prices lower than what a learner would pay at a traditional, in-person institution. As the company grows its offering, it will be able to compete head-to-head with other “online program management” (OPM) providers, such as 2U(NASDAQ:TWOU), which is already publicly traded, and Noodle Partners.</p><p>Ng’sshareholder letter in the S-1articulated clearly just what the company is about:</p><blockquote>“We believe that education is the source of human progress. In today’s economy in which the skills needed to succeed are rapidly evolving, education is becoming more important than ever. As automation and digital disruption are poised to replace unprecedented numbers of jobs worldwide, giving workers the opportunity to upskill and reskill will be crucial to raising global living standards and increasing social equity. Online education will play a critical role, enabling anyone, anywhere, to gain the valuable skills they need to earn a living in an increasingly digital economy.”</blockquote><p>The filing lists Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup as underwriters. The number of shares and the price range of the proposed offering are yet to be determined.According to PitchBook data, Coursera’s most recent valuation in the private markets was $2.5 billion. To date, the company has raised $464 million in venture capital, most recently,$130 million in a Series F roundlast July. Coursera’s biggest institutional shareholders are New Enterprise Associates (18.3% of company stock), G Squared (15.9%) and Kleiner Perkins (9.2%).</p><p><b>Operating Results</b></p><p>The company earned $293 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, up 59% from 2019. Net losses widened by about $20 million year-on-year, reaching $66.8 million in 2020. Revenues shot up as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic’s effect on traditional education. In tandem with rising demand, operating costs associated with the company’s services rose, largely driven by the freemium content and marketing expenses. Coursera added over 12,000 new degree learners across the two years ended December 31, 2020 at an average acquisition cost of just below $2,000. The number of registered users rose by 65% year-on-year in 2020. Coursera’s accumulated deficit since its founding stood at $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The company does not expect to turn a profit in the foreseeable future.</p><p>The company’sCoursera for Campus,launched in late 2019to enable colleges to offer its library of MOOCs to their students, has been a key driver of recent revenue growth. At the start of the pandemic, Coursera made the program free to tertiary institutions until Sept. 30, 2020. Over 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world signed up for the program, which, according to the company’s S-1 filing, makes it, “one of our fastest growing offerings”. As of December 31, 2020, over 130 tertiary institutions were paying for it.</p><p>At this point, it is hard to predict what the end of the pandemic would have on the company’s operating results.</p><p><b>The Strategy and Market Opportunity</b></p><p>Coursera is one of the most disruptive firms in the world. It has a flywheel approach to value creation, with significant price-to-cost advantages versus its competition. The company reported that about half of its new degree students in 2020 had been previously registered with Coursera and that its average student acquisition cost was less than $2,000. Its average student acquisition cost is lower than the industry standard. The edu-tech platform is able to efficiently acquire learners at scale because of the huge number of free, high-quality courses that it offers in partnership with top educational institutions and corporations; its ability to personalize content based on its wealth of data; the strength of word-of-mouth promotion by learners; the profitability of its affiliate paid marketing channel.</p><p>The platform offers a number of education tracks, for example:</p><ul><li>Specializations: A learner can pay between $39 and $99 a month for job-specific content across over 500 categories.</li><li>MasterTrack Certificates: For a quarter to a year, a learner can earn a certificate issued by a university-issued certificate. Prices range from $2,000 to $6,000.</li><li>Bachelor’s or Master’s Degrees: Fees range from $9,000 to $45,000.</li><li>Coursera for Enterprise: Through this platform, businesses, educational institutions and governments can deploy content to their learners.</li></ul><p>In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Coursera partnered with over 330 government agencies across 30 U.S. states and cities and 70 countries as part of itsCoursera Workforce Recovery Initiative, which gave governments the chance to offer unemployed workers free access to thousands of business, data science, and technology courses from companies such as Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL).</p><p>The company has 77 million registered learners, as well as over 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies who paid for its enterprise offerings. The majority of its revenue (51%) was earned outside of the United States. Converting only a fraction of its 77 million registered users into paid users would change the economics of customer acquisition. The company’s present scale is a huge competitive advantage in the market.</p><p>A learner’s curriculum is designed to be “stackable”, which is to say that a learner can go through a domain in an incremental fashion. The company is able to leverage the huge volume of data it has accumulated from its over 220 million enrollments to personalize content. So, for example, Coursera’s Skills Graphs can suggest paths for job skills.</p><p>Coursera uses technology to drive down distribution costs, make content more affordable, extend access to less economically-endowed regions, help learners keep abreast of emerging skills, and grow its market opportunity. The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated secular trends towards the use of technology in education.</p><p>The size of the addressable market is massive and it’s easy to see why.An August 2020 study by the United Nationsdemonstrates the degree of disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic: of the 1.6 billion students in 190 countries covered in the report, or 94% of the world’s students, were prevented from going to school because of Covid-19 pandemic related school closures.</p><p>In 2017, the World Bank indicated thatof the 200 million college students in the world, many do not have job-specific skills.</p><p>The Covid-19 pandemic and prior secular trends suggest that the future of education is in blended classrooms, job-specific education and continuous, lifelong education. Online learning platforms like Coursera will be the primary means through which educational content is delivered.</p><p>Globally, spending on higher education in 2019 was $2.2 trillion,according to HolonIQ. Spending on online degrees was $36 billion and is predicted to reach $74 billion by 2025.</p><p>With a huge, existing learner base; a strong brand; and the significant advantages detailed above, Coursera is likely to grab a significant amount of the market’s growth. Of thescenarios for the future of education, it seems that Coursera will continue to grow.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>Coursera seems poised to meet the challenges of a changing education landscape. With its vast, existing user base, its flywheel model, its competitive advantages, and its existence in a huge and growing addressable market, the company is likely to do very well. The company’s value proposition is compelling. However, long run success does not equate to a good investment in the short run. An unprofitable company like Coursera is likely to be very volatile on the markets until it reaches profitability. It is better to wait for Coursera to turn a profit before investing in the company.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Coursera: The Education Disruptor Goes Public</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nCoursera: The Education Disruptor Goes Public\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-30 17:01 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4413745-coursera-education-disruptor-goes-public><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryThe company is growing rapidly as a result of secular trends as well as the Covid-19 pandemic.It is operating in a huge addressable market that is likely to grow for the foreseeable future....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4413745-coursera-education-disruptor-goes-public\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cedd6cbf23bbe97eaec389fb0773ed6","relate_stocks":{"COUR":"Coursera, Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4413745-coursera-education-disruptor-goes-public","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1163996400","content_text":"SummaryThe company is growing rapidly as a result of secular trends as well as the Covid-19 pandemic.It is operating in a huge addressable market that is likely to grow for the foreseeable future.Coursera enjoys many competitive advantages, among them a large, existing user base, price-to-cost advantages, and the ability to personalize content as a result of its trove of data.Given its scale, and competitive advantages, the company should win an outsized share of its market opportunity.However, because the company has not turned a profit, there is a chance that its stock may be too volatile in the near term. Buying when the company turns a profit is the safer bet.Coursera (COURS), the online learning platform founded in 2012 by former Stanford University computer science professors Daphne Koller and Andrew Ng, filed itsIPO prospectuswith the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Mountain View, California-based company offers individuals access to over 4,000 Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) from 200 educational institutions and corporations. The company also offers over two dozen degree programs at prices lower than what a learner would pay at a traditional, in-person institution. As the company grows its offering, it will be able to compete head-to-head with other “online program management” (OPM) providers, such as 2U(NASDAQ:TWOU), which is already publicly traded, and Noodle Partners.Ng’sshareholder letter in the S-1articulated clearly just what the company is about:“We believe that education is the source of human progress. In today’s economy in which the skills needed to succeed are rapidly evolving, education is becoming more important than ever. As automation and digital disruption are poised to replace unprecedented numbers of jobs worldwide, giving workers the opportunity to upskill and reskill will be crucial to raising global living standards and increasing social equity. Online education will play a critical role, enabling anyone, anywhere, to gain the valuable skills they need to earn a living in an increasingly digital economy.”The filing lists Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup as underwriters. The number of shares and the price range of the proposed offering are yet to be determined.According to PitchBook data, Coursera’s most recent valuation in the private markets was $2.5 billion. To date, the company has raised $464 million in venture capital, most recently,$130 million in a Series F roundlast July. Coursera’s biggest institutional shareholders are New Enterprise Associates (18.3% of company stock), G Squared (15.9%) and Kleiner Perkins (9.2%).Operating ResultsThe company earned $293 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, up 59% from 2019. Net losses widened by about $20 million year-on-year, reaching $66.8 million in 2020. Revenues shot up as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic’s effect on traditional education. In tandem with rising demand, operating costs associated with the company’s services rose, largely driven by the freemium content and marketing expenses. Coursera added over 12,000 new degree learners across the two years ended December 31, 2020 at an average acquisition cost of just below $2,000. The number of registered users rose by 65% year-on-year in 2020. Coursera’s accumulated deficit since its founding stood at $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The company does not expect to turn a profit in the foreseeable future.The company’sCoursera for Campus,launched in late 2019to enable colleges to offer its library of MOOCs to their students, has been a key driver of recent revenue growth. At the start of the pandemic, Coursera made the program free to tertiary institutions until Sept. 30, 2020. Over 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world signed up for the program, which, according to the company’s S-1 filing, makes it, “one of our fastest growing offerings”. As of December 31, 2020, over 130 tertiary institutions were paying for it.At this point, it is hard to predict what the end of the pandemic would have on the company’s operating results.The Strategy and Market OpportunityCoursera is one of the most disruptive firms in the world. It has a flywheel approach to value creation, with significant price-to-cost advantages versus its competition. The company reported that about half of its new degree students in 2020 had been previously registered with Coursera and that its average student acquisition cost was less than $2,000. Its average student acquisition cost is lower than the industry standard. The edu-tech platform is able to efficiently acquire learners at scale because of the huge number of free, high-quality courses that it offers in partnership with top educational institutions and corporations; its ability to personalize content based on its wealth of data; the strength of word-of-mouth promotion by learners; the profitability of its affiliate paid marketing channel.The platform offers a number of education tracks, for example:Specializations: A learner can pay between $39 and $99 a month for job-specific content across over 500 categories.MasterTrack Certificates: For a quarter to a year, a learner can earn a certificate issued by a university-issued certificate. Prices range from $2,000 to $6,000.Bachelor’s or Master’s Degrees: Fees range from $9,000 to $45,000.Coursera for Enterprise: Through this platform, businesses, educational institutions and governments can deploy content to their learners.In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Coursera partnered with over 330 government agencies across 30 U.S. states and cities and 70 countries as part of itsCoursera Workforce Recovery Initiative, which gave governments the chance to offer unemployed workers free access to thousands of business, data science, and technology courses from companies such as Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL).The company has 77 million registered learners, as well as over 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies who paid for its enterprise offerings. The majority of its revenue (51%) was earned outside of the United States. Converting only a fraction of its 77 million registered users into paid users would change the economics of customer acquisition. The company’s present scale is a huge competitive advantage in the market.A learner’s curriculum is designed to be “stackable”, which is to say that a learner can go through a domain in an incremental fashion. The company is able to leverage the huge volume of data it has accumulated from its over 220 million enrollments to personalize content. So, for example, Coursera’s Skills Graphs can suggest paths for job skills.Coursera uses technology to drive down distribution costs, make content more affordable, extend access to less economically-endowed regions, help learners keep abreast of emerging skills, and grow its market opportunity. The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated secular trends towards the use of technology in education.The size of the addressable market is massive and it’s easy to see why.An August 2020 study by the United Nationsdemonstrates the degree of disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic: of the 1.6 billion students in 190 countries covered in the report, or 94% of the world’s students, were prevented from going to school because of Covid-19 pandemic related school closures.In 2017, the World Bank indicated thatof the 200 million college students in the world, many do not have job-specific skills.The Covid-19 pandemic and prior secular trends suggest that the future of education is in blended classrooms, job-specific education and continuous, lifelong education. Online learning platforms like Coursera will be the primary means through which educational content is delivered.Globally, spending on higher education in 2019 was $2.2 trillion,according to HolonIQ. Spending on online degrees was $36 billion and is predicted to reach $74 billion by 2025.With a huge, existing learner base; a strong brand; and the significant advantages detailed above, Coursera is likely to grab a significant amount of the market’s growth. Of thescenarios for the future of education, it seems that Coursera will continue to grow.ConclusionCoursera seems poised to meet the challenges of a changing education landscape. With its vast, existing user base, its flywheel model, its competitive advantages, and its existence in a huge and growing addressable market, the company is likely to do very well. The company’s value proposition is compelling. However, long run success does not equate to a good investment in the short run. An unprofitable company like Coursera is likely to be very volatile on the markets until it reaches profitability. It is better to wait for Coursera to turn a profit before investing in the company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":253,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":328546161,"gmtCreate":1615543973353,"gmtModify":1704784349492,"author":{"id":"3564741752299779","authorId":"3564741752299779","name":"Johnstar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3564741752299779","authorIdStr":"3564741752299779"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like my comment boss&nbsp;","listText":"Like my comment boss&nbsp;","text":"Like my comment boss","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/328546161","repostId":"1155506399","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155506399","pubTimestamp":1615543208,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1155506399?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-12 18:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Don’t be fooled by the ‘value’ tag on these tech stocks.

Stocks with low valuations tend to do well during economic growth phases.</p>\n<p>Mark DeCambre&nbsp;underlined the value rallyby pointing out that the Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;ended at a record high Dec. 10, while the Nasdaq Composite Index&nbsp;was still in a correction.</p>\n<p>But what about tech stocks? There’s plenty of value there too, as you can see in the screen below.</p>\n<p>Economists&nbsp;polled by MarketWatch expect the U.S. economy to expand by 6% in 2021. Yes, that’s coming off a 3.5% contraction in 2020, according to the&nbsp;latest estimate&nbsp;from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. But the 2021 growth rate would be the fastest since 1984, according to&nbsp;World Bank&nbsp;data.</p>\n<p><b>Tech value stock screen</b></p>\n<p>There are several definitions of value stocks, but generally they are those that trade at lower valuations to earnings and typically grow their sales at a slower pace. That said, an individual value stock might also be considered a growth stock. This is illustrated by the Russell indexes.</p>\n<p>The Russell 1000 Index&nbsp;is made up of the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies by market capitalization and is reconstituted each year in June. Selected from the Russell 1000 are the Russell 1000 Value Index,which has 849 stocks, and the Russell 1000 Growth Index,which has 453 stocks. The groups overlap, with 291 stocks in both. You can read how FTSE Russell describes the makeup of its indexeshere.</p>\n<p>So an easy way to play value at this time is to buy shares of an exchange traded fund that tracks the Russell 1000 Value Index,such as the iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF&nbsp;or the Vanguard Russell 1000 Value ETF.As always, do your own research on any investment you consider to make an informed decisions.</p>\n<p>For a large-cap technology value screen, we started with the information technology sector of the S&amp;P 500 Index.Here’s how this sector’s weighted aggregate forward price-to-earnings ratio has increased over the past five years:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/448e8db17465fbd7031f10b78f718961\" tg-width=\"1259\" tg-height=\"988\"><span>(FACTSET)</span></p>\n<p>The sector’s forward P/E his risen to 25.4.</p>\n<p>This doesn’t mean “expensive” tech stocks can’t be excellent investments. Salesforce.com&nbsp;was trading at a forward P/E of 68.7 five years ago, and the stock has nearly tripled since then.</p>\n<p>Getting back to the S&amp;P 500 tech value screen, we then added tech-oriented stocks in the communications services sector, including videogame developers and Facebook Inc.,Alphabet Inc.,Netflix Inc.&nbsp;and Twitter Inc..That brought the list up to 82 stocks. Two of the videogame developers made the cut, but among the four companies named above, only Facebook had a low enough P/E to pass the screen.</p>\n<p>Here are the 43 S&amp;P 500 tech companies that

So the figures are based on consensus estimates for&nbsp;<i>calendar</i>&nbsp;2020 among analyst polled by FactSet. For Micron Technology Inc.,the 2020 sales growth figure is for the past four reported fiscal quarters through Dec. 3.</p>\n<p><b>The curious case of Facebook</b></p>\n<p>You might wonder about Facebook, which lives in both the value and growth worlds. Its forward P/E valuation of 23.2 is relatively low. But Facebook is very much a growth stock — sales increased 22% last year, and analysts expect even better revenue growth of 25% in 2021.</p>\n<p>Facebook trades for seven times the consensus forward sales estimate, compared to a forward price-to-sales estimate of 5.9 for the entire S&amp;P 500 tech sector. But that “high” price-to-sales ratio may not be so important because it is such a profitable company. Its 2020 operating margin of 50% is among the highest on the list.</p>\n<p>Cody Willard called Facebook a bargain, not only because of its low P/E valuation but because of&nbsp;the long-term growth path&nbsp;for its Oculus virtual-reality hardware and software.</p>\n<p>There are 16 companies on the list that are expected to produce double-digit increases in sales in 2021, including Skyworks Solutions Inc.&nbsp;and Qualcomm Inc..Both are expected to grow their revenues by 21% this year.</p>\n<p><b>‘Old tech’</b></p>\n<p>Oracle Corp.&nbsp;is an “old tech” company that can be considered a value stock, as it trades for only 15.4 times the consensus earnings estimate for the next 12 months among analysts polled by FactSet. The company reported better-than-expected results for its fiscal third quarter after the close March 10 and&nbsp;increased its quarterly dividend by a third. Then on March 11, the stock fell as much as 9%. That “sell the good news” reaction may not be much of a surprise, as the stock had risen 48% over the previous year through March 10.</p>\n<p>International Business Machines Corp.&nbsp;is one of the cheapest stocks on the list, based on its forward P/E ratio of 11.5. The stock was up 2% from a year earlier through the close March 10. It has an attractive dividend yield of 5.10% that is supported by strong free cash flow.</p>\n<p>Victoria Greene, a portfolio manager at G Squared Private Wealth in College Station, Texas,may have been a bit early&nbsp;when naming IBM as an excellent long-term play in June. But in a recent interview, she said she was still confident that there was a lot of upside for IBM “as a turnaround story and reinventing themselves,” in light of its July 2019 acquisition of Red Hat and the strength of its Watson artificial-intelligence software platform.</p>\n<p><b>Wall Street’s price targets</b></p>\n<p>Leaving the list of 43 tech value stocks in the same order, here’s a summary of opinion among analysts polled by FactSet:</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th>COMPANY</th>\n   <th>TICKER</th>\n   <th>SHARE \"BUY\" RATINGS</th>\n   <th>SHARE NEUTRAL RATINGS</th>\n   <th>SHARE \"SELL\" RATINGS</th>\n   <th>CLOSING PRICE - MARCH 10</th>\n   <th>CONSENSUS PRICE TARGET</th>\n   <th>IMPLIED 12-MONTH UPSIDE POTENTIAL</th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE CO.</td>\n   <td>HPE</td>\n   <td>33%</td>\n   <td>57%</td>\n   <td>10%</td>\n   <td>$15.15</td>\n   <td>$15.46</td>\n   <td>2%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>DXC Technology Co.</td>\n   <td>DXC</td>\n   <td>29%</td>\n   <td>71%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$29.00</td>\n   <td>$30.43</td>\n   <td>5%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>HP Inc.</td>\n   <td>HPQ</td>\n   <td>39%</td>\n   <td>39%</td>\n   <td>22%</td>\n   <td>$30.26</td>\n   <td>$30.63</td>\n   <td>1%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>International Business Machines Corp.</td>\n   <td>IBM</td>\n   <td>31%</td>\n   <td>56%</td>\n   <td>13%</td>\n   <td>$127.87</td>\n   <td>$136.93</td>\n   <td>7%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Western Union Company</td>\n   <td>WU</td>\n   <td>18%</td>\n   <td>59%</td>\n   <td>23%</td>\n   <td>$24.60</td>\n   <td>$25.14</td>\n   <td>2%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Vontier Corp</td>\n   <td>VNT</td>\n   <td>73%</td>\n   <td>27%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$30.94</td>\n   <td>$39.56</td>\n   <td>28%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Seagate Technology PLC</td>\n   <td>STX</td>\n   <td>38%</td>\n   <td>48%</td>\n   <td>14%</td>\n   <td>$74.93</td>\n   <td>$74.83</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Intel Corp.</td>\n   <td>INTC</td>\n   <td>37%</td>\n   <td>39%</td>\n   <td>24%</td>\n   <td>$62.25</td>\n   <td>$63.93</td>\n   <td>3%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Xerox Holdings Corp.</td>\n   <td>XRX</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>38%</td>\n   <td>62%</td>\n   <td>$26.53</td>\n   <td>$18.00</td>\n   <td>-32%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>NortonLifeLock Inc.</td>\n   <td>NLOK</td>\n   <td>50%</td>\n   <td>50%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$21.01</td>\n   <td>$25.88</td>\n   <td>23%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Western Digital Corp.</td>\n   <td>WDC</td>\n   <td>66%</td>\n   <td>31%</td>\n   <td>3%</td>\n   <td>$66.58</td>\n   <td>$71.35</td>\n   <td>7%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Micron Technology Inc.</td>\n   <td>MU</td>\n   <td>82%</td>\n   <td>18%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$85.41</td>\n   <td>$112.26</td>\n   <td>31%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Cisco Systems Inc.</td>\n   <td>CSCO</td>\n   <td>46%</td>\n   <td>54%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$48.29</td>\n   <td>$51.90</td>\n   <td>7%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Juniper Networks Inc.</td>\n   <td>JNPR</td>\n   <td>24%</td>\n   <td>57%</td>\n   <td>19%</td>\n   <td>$24.69</td>\n   <td>$25.05</td>\n   <td>1%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Oracle Corp.</td>\n   <td>ORCL</td>\n   <td>37%</td>\n   <td>56%</td>\n   <td>7%</td>\n   <td>$72.12</td>\n   <td>$72.35</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>NetApp Inc.</td>\n   <td>NTAP</td>\n   <td>46%</td>\n   <td>46%</td>\n   <td>8%</td>\n   <td>$66.66</td>\n   <td>$74.77</td>\n   <td>12%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Qorvo Inc.</td>\n   <td>QRVO</td>\n   <td>65%</td>\n   <td>35%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$165.37</td>\n   <td>$196.52</td>\n   <td>19%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Broadcom Inc.</td>\n   <td>AVGO</td>\n   <td>81%</td>\n   <td>16%</td>\n   <td>3%</td>\n   <td>$437.59</td>\n   <td>$512.83</td>\n   <td>17%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Skyworks Solutions Inc.</td>\n   <td>SWKS</td>\n   <td>57%</td>\n   <td>43%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$167.66</td>\n   <td>$202.44</td>\n   <td>21%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Qualcomm Inc.</td>\n   <td>QCOM</td>\n   <td>70%</td>\n   <td>27%</td>\n   <td>3%</td>\n   <td>$127.87</td>\n   <td>$171.90</td>\n   <td>34%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Akamai Technologies Inc.</td>\n   <td>AKAM</td>\n   <td>67%</td>\n   <td>28%</td>\n   <td>5%</td>\n   <td>$96.36</td>\n   <td>$123.69</td>\n   <td>28%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Applied Materials Inc.</td>\n   <td>AMAT</td>\n   <td>84%</td>\n   <td>16%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$112.68</td>\n   <td>$136.83</td>\n   <td>21%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>F5 Networks Inc.</td>\n   <td>FFIV</td>\n   <td>50%</td>\n   <td>50%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$191.70</td>\n   <td>$220.13</td>\n   <td>15%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp.

Stocks with low valuations tend to do well during economic growth phases.\nMark DeCambre underlined the value rallyby pointing out that the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended at a record high Dec. 10, while the Nasdaq Composite Index was still in a correction.\nBut what about tech stocks? There’s plenty of value there too, as you can see in the screen below.\nEconomists polled by MarketWatch expect the U.S. economy to expand by 6% in 2021. Yes, that’s coming off a 3.5% contraction in 2020, according to the latest estimate from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. But the 2021 growth rate would be the fastest since 1984, according to World Bank data.\nTech value stock screen\nThere are several definitions of value stocks, but generally they are those that trade at lower valuations to earnings and typically grow their sales at a slower pace. That said, an individual value stock might also be considered a growth stock. This is illustrated by the Russell indexes.\nThe Russell 1000 Index is made up of the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies by market capitalization and is reconstituted each year in June. Selected from the Russell 1000 are the Russell 1000 Value Index,which has 849 stocks, and the Russell 1000 Growth Index,which has 453 stocks. The groups overlap, with 291 stocks in both. You can read how FTSE Russell describes the makeup of its indexeshere.\nSo an easy way to play value at this time is to buy shares of an exchange traded fund that tracks the Russell 1000 Value Index,such as the iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF or the Vanguard Russell 1000 Value ETF.As always, do your own research on any investment you consider to make an informed decisions.\nFor a large-cap technology value screen, we started with the information technology sector of the S&P 500 Index.Here’s how this sector’s weighted aggregate forward price-to-earnings ratio has increased over the past five years:\n(FACTSET)\nThe sector’s forward P/E his risen to 25.4.\nThis doesn’t mean “expensive” tech stocks can’t be excellent investments. Salesforce.com was trading at a forward P/E of 68.7 five years ago, and the stock has nearly tripled since then.\nGetting back to the S&P 500 tech value screen, we then added tech-oriented stocks in the communications services sector, including videogame developers and Facebook Inc.,Alphabet Inc.,Netflix Inc. and Twitter Inc..That brought the list up to 82 stocks. Two of the videogame developers made the cut, but among the four companies named above, only Facebook had a low enough P/E to pass the screen.\nHere are the 43 S&P 500 tech companies that trade below the tech sector’s forward P/E of 25.4:\n\n\n\nCOMPANY\nTICKER\nINDUSTRY\nFORWARD P/E\nFORWARD PRICE/SALES\nESTIMATED OPERATING MARGIN - 2020\nEXPECTED SALES GROWTH - 2021\nESTIMATED SALES GROWTH - 2020\nDIVIDEND YIELD\n\n\n\n\nHEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE CO.\nHPE\nCOMPUTER PROCESSING HARDWARE\n8.5\n0.7\n15.93%\n2%\n-6%\n3.17%\n\n\nDXC Technology Co.\nDXC\nData Processing Services\n9.1\n0.4\n11.83%\n-6%\n-8%\n0.00%\n\n\nHP Inc.\nHPQ\nComputer Processing Hardware\n9.6\n0.6\n8.58%\n5%\n-2%\n2.56%\n\n\nInternational Business Machines Corp.\nIBM\nInformation Technology Services\n11.5\n1.5\n22.24%\n1%\n-5%\n5.10%\n\n\nWestern Union Company\nWU\nFinance/Rental/Leasing\n12.0\n2.0\n25.48%\n6%\n-8%\n3.82%\n\n\nVontier Corp\nVNT\nOther Transportation\n12.7\n1.9\n23.54%\n2%\nN/A\n0.00%\n\n\nSeagate Technology PLC\nSTX\nComputer Peripherals\n12.9\n1.6\n16.69%\n2%\n1%\n3.58%\n\n\nIntel Corp.\nINTC\nSemiconductors\n13.1\n3.5\n46.12%\n-7%\n8%\n2.23%\n\n\nXerox Holdings Corp.\nXRX\nComputer Peripherals\n13.2\n0.7\n9.57%\n1%\n-23%\n3.77%\n\n\nNortonLifeLock Inc.\nNLOK\nPackaged Software\n13.3\n4.6\n45.97%\n5%\n-17%\n2.38%\n\n\nWestern Digital Corp.\nWDC\nComputer Peripherals\n13.6\n1.2\n13.77%\n5%\n-1%\n0.00%\n\n\nMicron Technology Inc.\nMU\nSemiconductors\n14.0\n3.4\n42.02%\n24%\n1%\n0.00%\n\n\nCisco Systems Inc.\nCSCO\nInformation Technology Services\n14.5\n4.0\n31.85%\n1%\n-3%\n3.06%\n\n\nJuniper Networks Inc.\nJNPR\nInformation Technology Services\n14.9\n1.8\n14.68%\n4%\n0%\n3.24%\n\n\nOracle Corp.\nORCL\nPackaged Software\n15.4\n5.2\n45.99%\n3%\n2%\n1.77%\n\n\nNetApp Inc.\nNTAP\nComputer Peripherals\n15.5\n2.5\n20.87%\n5%\n-1%\n2.88%\n\n\nQorvo Inc.\nQRVO\nSemiconductors\n16.0\n4.3\n33.32%\n12%\n19%\n0.00%\n\n\nBroadcom Inc.\nAVGO\nSemiconductors\n16.0\n6.6\n48.55%\n11%\n7%\n3.29%\n\n\nSkyworks Solutions Inc.\nSWKS\nSemiconductors\n17.1\n5.8\n39.24%\n32%\n11%\n1.19%\n\n\nQualcomm Inc.\nQCOM\nTelecommunications Equipment\n17.3\n4.6\n34.20%\n32%\n20%\n2.03%\n\n\nAkamai Technologies Inc.\nAKAM\nInternet Software/Services\n17.8\n4.6\n36.90%\n7%\n11%\n0.00%\n\n\nApplied Materials Inc.\nAMAT\nIndustrial Machinery\n18.3\n4.7\n27.95%\n22%\n19%\n0.78%\n\n\nF5 Networks Inc.\nFFIV\nComputer Communications\n18.5\n4.6\n23.93%\n8%\n6%\n0.00%\n\n\nCognizant Technology Solutions Corp.

So the figures are based on consensus estimates for calendar 2020 among analyst polled by FactSet. For Micron Technology Inc.,the 2020 sales growth figure is for the past four reported fiscal quarters through Dec. 3.\nThe curious case of Facebook\nYou might wonder about Facebook, which lives in both the value and growth worlds. Its forward P/E valuation of 23.2 is relatively low. But Facebook is very much a growth stock — sales increased 22% last year, and analysts expect even better revenue growth of 25% in 2021.\nFacebook trades for seven times the consensus forward sales estimate, compared to a forward price-to-sales estimate of 5.9 for the entire S&P 500 tech sector. But that “high” price-to-sales ratio may not be so important because it is such a profitable company. Its 2020 operating margin of 50% is among the highest on the list.\nCody Willard called Facebook a bargain, not only because of its low P/E valuation but because of the long-term growth path for its Oculus virtual-reality hardware and software.\nThere are 16 companies on the list that are expected to produce double-digit increases in sales in 2021, including Skyworks Solutions Inc. and Qualcomm Inc..Both are expected to grow their revenues by 21% this year.\n‘Old tech’\nOracle Corp. is an “old tech” company that can be considered a value stock, as it trades for only 15.4 times the consensus earnings estimate for the next 12 months among analysts polled by FactSet. The company reported better-than-expected results for its fiscal third quarter after the close March 10 and increased its quarterly dividend by a third. Then on March 11, the stock fell as much as 9%. That “sell the good news” reaction may not be much of a surprise, as the stock had risen 48% over the previous year through March 10.\nInternational Business Machines Corp. is one of the cheapest stocks on the list, based on its forward P/E ratio of 11.5. The stock was up 2% from a year earlier through the close March 10. It has an attractive dividend yield of 5.10% that is supported by strong free cash flow.\nVictoria Greene, a portfolio manager at G Squared Private Wealth in College Station, Texas,may have been a bit early when naming IBM as an excellent long-term play in June. But in a recent interview, she said she was still confident that there was a lot of upside for IBM “as a turnaround story and reinventing themselves,” in light of its July 2019 acquisition of Red Hat and the strength of its Watson artificial-intelligence software platform.\nWall Street’s price targets\nLeaving the list of 43 tech value stocks in the same order, here’s a summary of opinion among analysts polled by FactSet:\n\n\n\nCOMPANY\nTICKER\nSHARE \"BUY\" RATINGS\nSHARE NEUTRAL RATINGS\nSHARE \"SELL\" RATINGS\nCLOSING PRICE - MARCH 10\nCONSENSUS PRICE TARGET\nIMPLIED 12-MONTH UPSIDE POTENTIAL\n\n\n\n\nHEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE CO.\nHPE\n33%\n57%\n10%\n$15.15\n$15.46\n2%\n\n\nDXC Technology Co.\nDXC\n29%\n71%\n0%\n$29.00\n$30.43\n5%\n\n\nHP Inc.\nHPQ\n39%\n39%\n22%\n$30.26\n$30.63\n1%\n\n\nInternational Business Machines Corp.\nIBM\n31%\n56%\n13%\n$127.87\n$136.93\n7%\n\n\nWestern Union Company\nWU\n18%\n59%\n23%\n$24.60\n$25.14\n2%\n\n\nVontier Corp\nVNT\n73%\n27%\n0%\n$30.94\n$39.56\n28%\n\n\nSeagate Technology PLC\nSTX\n38%\n48%\n14%\n$74.93\n$74.83\n0%\n\n\nIntel Corp.\nINTC\n37%\n39%\n24%\n$62.25\n$63.93\n3%\n\n\nXerox Holdings Corp.\nXRX\n0%\n38%\n62%\n$26.53\n$18.00\n-32%\n\n\nNortonLifeLock Inc.\nNLOK\n50%\n50%\n0%\n$21.01\n$25.88\n23%\n\n\nWestern Digital Corp.\nWDC\n66%\n31%\n3%\n$66.58\n$71.35\n7%\n\n\nMicron Technology Inc.\nMU\n82%\n18%\n0%\n$85.41\n$112.26\n31%\n\n\nCisco Systems Inc.\nCSCO\n46%\n54%\n0%\n$48.29\n$51.90\n7%\n\n\nJuniper Networks Inc.\nJNPR\n24%\n57%\n19%\n$24.69\n$25.05\n1%\n\n\nOracle Corp.\nORCL\n37%\n56%\n7%\n$72.12\n$72.35\n0%\n\n\nNetApp Inc.\nNTAP\n46%\n46%\n8%\n$66.66\n$74.77\n12%\n\n\nQorvo Inc.\nQRVO\n65%\n35%\n0%\n$165.37\n$196.52\n19%\n\n\nBroadcom Inc.\nAVGO\n81%\n16%\n3%\n$437.59\n$512.83\n17%\n\n\nSkyworks Solutions Inc.\nSWKS\n57%\n43%\n0%\n$167.66\n$202.44\n21%\n\n\nQualcomm Inc.\nQCOM\n70%\n27%\n3%\n$127.87\n$171.90\n34%\n\n\nAkamai Technologies Inc.\nAKAM\n67%\n28%\n5%\n$96.36\n$123.69\n28%\n\n\nApplied Materials Inc.\nAMAT\n84%\n16%\n0%\n$112.68\n$136.83\n21%\n\n\nF5 Networks Inc.\nFFIV\n50%\n50%\n0%\n$191.70\n$220.13\n15%\n\n\nCognizant Technology Solutions Corp.

Stocks with low valuations tend to do well during economic growth phases.</p>\n<p>Mark DeCambre&nbsp;underlined the value rallyby pointing out that the Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;ended at a record high Dec. 10, while the Nasdaq Composite Index&nbsp;was still in a correction.</p>\n<p>But what about tech stocks? There’s plenty of value there too, as you can see in the screen below.</p>\n<p>Economists&nbsp;polled by MarketWatch expect the U.S. economy to expand by 6% in 2021. Yes, that’s coming off a 3.5% contraction in 2020, according to the&nbsp;latest estimate&nbsp;from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. But the 2021 growth rate would be the fastest since 1984, according to&nbsp;World Bank&nbsp;data.</p>\n<p><b>Tech value stock screen</b></p>\n<p>There are several definitions of value stocks, but generally they are those that trade at lower valuations to earnings and typically grow their sales at a slower pace. That said, an individual value stock might also be considered a growth stock. This is illustrated by the Russell indexes.</p>\n<p>The Russell 1000 Index&nbsp;is made up of the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies by market capitalization and is reconstituted each year in June. Selected from the Russell 1000 are the Russell 1000 Value Index,which has 849 stocks, and the Russell 1000 Growth Index,which has 453 stocks. The groups overlap, with 291 stocks in both. You can read how FTSE Russell describes the makeup of its indexeshere.</p>\n<p>So an easy way to play value at this time is to buy shares of an exchange traded fund that tracks the Russell 1000 Value Index,such as the iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF&nbsp;or the Vanguard Russell 1000 Value ETF.As always, do your own research on any investment you consider to make an informed decisions.</p>\n<p>For a large-cap technology value screen, we started with the information technology sector of the S&amp;P 500 Index.Here’s how this sector’s weighted aggregate forward price-to-earnings ratio has increased over the past five years:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/448e8db17465fbd7031f10b78f718961\" tg-width=\"1259\" tg-height=\"988\"><span>(FACTSET)</span></p>\n<p>The sector’s forward P/E his risen to 25.4.</p>\n<p>This doesn’t mean “expensive” tech stocks can’t be excellent investments. Salesforce.com&nbsp;was trading at a forward P/E of 68.7 five years ago, and the stock has nearly tripled since then.</p>\n<p>Getting back to the S&amp;P 500 tech value screen, we then added tech-oriented stocks in the communications services sector, including videogame developers and Facebook Inc.,Alphabet Inc.,Netflix Inc.&nbsp;and Twitter Inc..That brought the list up to 82 stocks. Two of the videogame developers made the cut, but among the four companies named above, only Facebook had a low enough P/E to pass the screen.</p>\n<p>Here are the 43 S&amp;P 500 tech companies that

But that “high” price-to-sales ratio may not be so important because it is such a profitable company. Its 2020 operating margin of 50% is among the highest on the list.</p>\n<p>Cody Willard called Facebook a bargain, not only because of its low P/E valuation but because of&nbsp;the long-term growth path&nbsp;for its Oculus virtual-reality hardware and software.</p>\n<p>There are 16 companies on the list that are expected to produce double-digit increases in sales in 2021, including Skyworks Solutions Inc.&nbsp;and Qualcomm Inc..Both are expected to grow their revenues by 21% this year.</p>\n<p><b>‘Old tech’</b></p>\n<p>Oracle Corp.&nbsp;is an “old tech” company that can be considered a value stock, as it trades for only 15.4 times the consensus earnings estimate for the next 12 months among analysts polled by FactSet. The company reported better-than-expected results for its fiscal third quarter after the close March 10 and&nbsp;increased its quarterly dividend by a third. Then on March 11, the stock fell as much as 9%. That “sell the good news” reaction may not be much of a surprise, as the stock had risen 48% over the previous year through March 10.</p>\n<p>International Business Machines Corp.&nbsp;is one of the cheapest stocks on the list, based on its forward P/E ratio of 11.5. The stock was up 2% from a year earlier through the close March 10. It has an attractive dividend yield of 5.10% that is supported by strong free cash flow.</p>\n<p>Victoria Greene, a portfolio manager at G Squared Private Wealth in College Station, Texas,may have been a bit early&nbsp;when naming IBM as an excellent long-term play in June. But in a recent interview, she said she was still confident that there was a lot of upside for IBM “as a turnaround story and reinventing themselves,” in light of its July 2019 acquisition of Red Hat and the strength of its Watson artificial-intelligence software platform.</p>\n<p><b>Wall Street’s price targets</b></p>\n<p>Leaving the list of 43 tech value stocks in the same order, here’s a summary of opinion among analysts polled by FactSet:</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th>COMPANY</th>\n   <th>TICKER</th>\n   <th>SHARE \"BUY\" RATINGS</th>\n   <th>SHARE NEUTRAL RATINGS</th>\n   <th>SHARE \"SELL\" RATINGS</th>\n   <th>CLOSING PRICE - MARCH 10</th>\n   <th>CONSENSUS PRICE TARGET</th>\n   <th>IMPLIED 12-MONTH UPSIDE POTENTIAL</th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE CO.</td>\n   <td>HPE</td>\n   <td>33%</td>\n   <td>57%</td>\n   <td>10%</td>\n   <td>$15.15</td>\n   <td>$15.46</td>\n   <td>2%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>DXC Technology Co.</td>\n   <td>DXC</td>\n   <td>29%</td>\n   <td>71%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$29.00</td>\n   <td>$30.43</td>\n   <td>5%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>HP Inc.</td>\n   <td>HPQ</td>\n   <td>39%</td>\n   <td>39%</td>\n   <td>22%</td>\n   <td>$30.26</td>\n   <td>$30.63</td>\n   <td>1%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>International Business Machines Corp.</td>\n   <td>IBM</td>\n   <td>31%</td>\n   <td>56%</td>\n   <td>13%</td>\n   <td>$127.87</td>\n   <td>$136.93</td>\n   <td>7%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Western Union Company</td>\n   <td>WU</td>\n   <td>18%</td>\n   <td>59%</td>\n   <td>23%</td>\n   <td>$24.60</td>\n   <td>$25.14</td>\n   <td>2%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Vontier Corp</td>\n   <td>VNT</td>\n   <td>73%</td>\n   <td>27%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$30.94</td>\n   <td>$39.56</td>\n   <td>28%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Seagate Technology PLC</td>\n   <td>STX</td>\n   <td>38%</td>\n   <td>48%</td>\n   <td>14%</td>\n   <td>$74.93</td>\n   <td>$74.83</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Intel Corp.</td>\n   <td>INTC</td>\n   <td>37%</td>\n   <td>39%</td>\n   <td>24%</td>\n   <td>$62.25</td>\n   <td>$63.93</td>\n   <td>3%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Xerox Holdings Corp.</td>\n   <td>XRX</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>38%</td>\n   <td>62%</td>\n   <td>$26.53</td>\n   <td>$18.00</td>\n   <td>-32%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>NortonLifeLock Inc.</td>\n   <td>NLOK</td>\n   <td>50%</td>\n   <td>50%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$21.01</td>\n   <td>$25.88</td>\n   <td>23%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Western Digital Corp.</td>\n   <td>WDC</td>\n   <td>66%</td>\n   <td>31%</td>\n   <td>3%</td>\n   <td>$66.58</td>\n   <td>$71.35</td>\n   <td>7%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Micron Technology Inc.</td>\n   <td>MU</td>\n   <td>82%</td>\n   <td>18%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$85.41</td>\n   <td>$112.26</td>\n   <td>31%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Cisco Systems Inc.</td>\n   <td>CSCO</td>\n   <td>46%</td>\n   <td>54%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$48.29</td>\n   <td>$51.90</td>\n   <td>7%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Juniper Networks Inc.</td>\n   <td>JNPR</td>\n   <td>24%</td>\n   <td>57%</td>\n   <td>19%</td>\n   <td>$24.69</td>\n   <td>$25.05</td>\n   <td>1%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Oracle Corp.</td>\n   <td>ORCL</td>\n   <td>37%</td>\n   <td>56%</td>\n   <td>7%</td>\n   <td>$72.12</td>\n   <td>$72.35</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>NetApp Inc.</td>\n   <td>NTAP</td>\n   <td>46%</td>\n   <td>46%</td>\n   <td>8%</td>\n   <td>$66.66</td>\n   <td>$74.77</td>\n   <td>12%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Qorvo Inc.</td>\n   <td>QRVO</td>\n   <td>65%</td>\n   <td>35%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$165.37</td>\n   <td>$196.52</td>\n   <td>19%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Broadcom Inc.</td>\n   <td>AVGO</td>\n   <td>81%</td>\n   <td>16%</td>\n   <td>3%</td>\n   <td>$437.59</td>\n   <td>$512.83</td>\n   <td>17%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Skyworks Solutions Inc.</td>\n   <td>SWKS</td>\n   <td>57%</td>\n   <td>43%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$167.66</td>\n   <td>$202.44</td>\n   <td>21%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Qualcomm Inc.</td>\n   <td>QCOM</td>\n   <td>70%</td>\n   <td>27%</td>\n   <td>3%</td>\n   <td>$127.87</td>\n   <td>$171.90</td>\n   <td>34%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Akamai Technologies Inc.</td>\n   <td>AKAM</td>\n   <td>67%</td>\n   <td>28%</td>\n   <td>5%</td>\n   <td>$96.36</td>\n   <td>$123.69</td>\n   <td>28%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Applied Materials Inc.</td>\n   <td>AMAT</td>\n   <td>84%</td>\n   <td>16%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$112.68</td>\n   <td>$136.83</td>\n   <td>21%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>F5 Networks Inc.</td>\n   <td>FFIV</td>\n   <td>50%</td>\n   <td>50%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$191.70</td>\n   <td>$220.13</td>\n   <td>15%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp.

Stocks with low valuations tend to do well during economic growth phases.\nMark DeCambre underlined the value rallyby pointing out that the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended at a record high Dec. 10, while the Nasdaq Composite Index was still in a correction.\nBut what about tech stocks? There’s plenty of value there too, as you can see in the screen below.\nEconomists polled by MarketWatch expect the U.S. economy to expand by 6% in 2021. Yes, that’s coming off a 3.5% contraction in 2020, according to the latest estimate from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. But the 2021 growth rate would be the fastest since 1984, according to World Bank data.\nTech value stock screen\nThere are several definitions of value stocks, but generally they are those that trade at lower valuations to earnings and typically grow their sales at a slower pace. That said, an individual value stock might also be considered a growth stock. This is illustrated by the Russell indexes.\nThe Russell 1000 Index is made up of the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies by market capitalization and is reconstituted each year in June. Selected from the Russell 1000 are the Russell 1000 Value Index,which has 849 stocks, and the Russell 1000 Growth Index,which has 453 stocks. The groups overlap, with 291 stocks in both. You can read how FTSE Russell describes the makeup of its indexeshere.\nSo an easy way to play value at this time is to buy shares of an exchange traded fund that tracks the Russell 1000 Value Index,such as the iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF or the Vanguard Russell 1000 Value ETF.As always, do your own research on any investment you consider to make an informed decisions.\nFor a large-cap technology value screen, we started with the information technology sector of the S&P 500 Index.Here’s how this sector’s weighted aggregate forward price-to-earnings ratio has increased over the past five years:\n(FACTSET)\nThe sector’s forward P/E his risen to 25.4.\nThis doesn’t mean “expensive” tech stocks can’t be excellent investments. Salesforce.com was trading at a forward P/E of 68.7 five years ago, and the stock has nearly tripled since then.\nGetting back to the S&P 500 tech value screen, we then added tech-oriented stocks in the communications services sector, including videogame developers and Facebook Inc.,Alphabet Inc.,Netflix Inc. and Twitter Inc..That brought the list up to 82 stocks. Two of the videogame developers made the cut, but among the four companies named above, only Facebook had a low enough P/E to pass the screen.\nHere are the 43 S&P 500 tech companies that trade below the tech sector’s forward P/E of 25.4:\n\n\n\nCOMPANY\nTICKER\nINDUSTRY\nFORWARD P/E\nFORWARD PRICE/SALES\nESTIMATED OPERATING MARGIN - 2020\nEXPECTED SALES GROWTH - 2021\nESTIMATED SALES GROWTH - 2020\nDIVIDEND YIELD\n\n\n\n\nHEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE CO.\nHPE\nCOMPUTER PROCESSING HARDWARE\n8.5\n0.7\n15.93%\n2%\n-6%\n3.17%\n\n\nDXC Technology Co.\nDXC\nData Processing Services\n9.1\n0.4\n11.83%\n-6%\n-8%\n0.00%\n\n\nHP Inc.\nHPQ\nComputer Processing Hardware\n9.6\n0.6\n8.58%\n5%\n-2%\n2.56%\n\n\nInternational Business Machines Corp.\nIBM\nInformation Technology Services\n11.5\n1.5\n22.24%\n1%\n-5%\n5.10%\n\n\nWestern Union Company\nWU\nFinance/Rental/Leasing\n12.0\n2.0\n25.48%\n6%\n-8%\n3.82%\n\n\nVontier Corp\nVNT\nOther Transportation\n12.7\n1.9\n23.54%\n2%\nN/A\n0.00%\n\n\nSeagate Technology PLC\nSTX\nComputer Peripherals\n12.9\n1.6\n16.69%\n2%\n1%\n3.58%\n\n\nIntel Corp.\nINTC\nSemiconductors\n13.1\n3.5\n46.12%\n-7%\n8%\n2.23%\n\n\nXerox Holdings Corp.\nXRX\nComputer Peripherals\n13.2\n0.7\n9.57%\n1%\n-23%\n3.77%\n\n\nNortonLifeLock Inc.\nNLOK\nPackaged Software\n13.3\n4.6\n45.97%\n5%\n-17%\n2.38%\n\n\nWestern Digital Corp.\nWDC\nComputer Peripherals\n13.6\n1.2\n13.77%\n5%\n-1%\n0.00%\n\n\nMicron Technology Inc.\nMU\nSemiconductors\n14.0\n3.4\n42.02%\n24%\n1%\n0.00%\n\n\nCisco Systems Inc.\nCSCO\nInformation Technology Services\n14.5\n4.0\n31.85%\n1%\n-3%\n3.06%\n\n\nJuniper Networks Inc.\nJNPR\nInformation Technology Services\n14.9\n1.8\n14.68%\n4%\n0%\n3.24%\n\n\nOracle Corp.\nORCL\nPackaged Software\n15.4\n5.2\n45.99%\n3%\n2%\n1.77%\n\n\nNetApp Inc.\nNTAP\nComputer Peripherals\n15.5\n2.5\n20.87%\n5%\n-1%\n2.88%\n\n\nQorvo Inc.\nQRVO\nSemiconductors\n16.0\n4.3\n33.32%\n12%\n19%\n0.00%\n\n\nBroadcom Inc.\nAVGO\nSemiconductors\n16.0\n6.6\n48.55%\n11%\n7%\n3.29%\n\n\nSkyworks Solutions Inc.\nSWKS\nSemiconductors\n17.1\n5.8\n39.24%\n32%\n11%\n1.19%\n\n\nQualcomm Inc.\nQCOM\nTelecommunications Equipment\n17.3\n4.6\n34.20%\n32%\n20%\n2.03%\n\n\nAkamai Technologies Inc.\nAKAM\nInternet Software/Services\n17.8\n4.6\n36.90%\n7%\n11%\n0.00%\n\n\nApplied Materials Inc.\nAMAT\nIndustrial Machinery\n18.3\n4.7\n27.95%\n22%\n19%\n0.78%\n\n\nF5 Networks Inc.\nFFIV\nComputer Communications\n18.5\n4.6\n23.93%\n8%\n6%\n0.00%\n\n\nCognizant Technology Solutions Corp.

So the figures are based on consensus estimates for calendar 2020 among analyst polled by FactSet. For Micron Technology Inc.,the 2020 sales growth figure is for the past four reported fiscal quarters through Dec. 3.\nThe curious case of Facebook\nYou might wonder about Facebook, which lives in both the value and growth worlds. Its forward P/E valuation of 23.2 is relatively low. But Facebook is very much a growth stock — sales increased 22% last year, and analysts expect even better revenue growth of 25% in 2021.\nFacebook trades for seven times the consensus forward sales estimate, compared to a forward price-to-sales estimate of 5.9 for the entire S&P 500 tech sector. But that “high” price-to-sales ratio may not be so important because it is such a profitable company. Its 2020 operating margin of 50% is among the highest on the list.\nCody Willard called Facebook a bargain, not only because of its low P/E valuation but because of the long-term growth path for its Oculus virtual-reality hardware and software.\nThere are 16 companies on the list that are expected to produce double-digit increases in sales in 2021, including Skyworks Solutions Inc. and Qualcomm Inc..Both are expected to grow their revenues by 21% this year.\n‘Old tech’\nOracle Corp. is an “old tech” company that can be considered a value stock, as it trades for only 15.4 times the consensus earnings estimate for the next 12 months among analysts polled by FactSet. The company reported better-than-expected results for its fiscal third quarter after the close March 10 and increased its quarterly dividend by a third. Then on March 11, the stock fell as much as 9%. That “sell the good news” reaction may not be much of a surprise, as the stock had risen 48% over the previous year through March 10.\nInternational Business Machines Corp. is one of the cheapest stocks on the list, based on its forward P/E ratio of 11.5. The stock was up 2% from a year earlier through the close March 10. It has an attractive dividend yield of 5.10% that is supported by strong free cash flow.\nVictoria Greene, a portfolio manager at G Squared Private Wealth in College Station, Texas,may have been a bit early when naming IBM as an excellent long-term play in June. But in a recent interview, she said she was still confident that there was a lot of upside for IBM “as a turnaround story and reinventing themselves,” in light of its July 2019 acquisition of Red Hat and the strength of its Watson artificial-intelligence software platform.\nWall Street’s price targets\nLeaving the list of 43 tech value stocks in the same order, here’s a summary of opinion among analysts polled by FactSet:\n\n\n\nCOMPANY\nTICKER\nSHARE \"BUY\" RATINGS\nSHARE NEUTRAL RATINGS\nSHARE \"SELL\" RATINGS\nCLOSING PRICE - MARCH 10\nCONSENSUS PRICE TARGET\nIMPLIED 12-MONTH UPSIDE POTENTIAL\n\n\n\n\nHEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE CO.\nHPE\n33%\n57%\n10%\n$15.15\n$15.46\n2%\n\n\nDXC Technology Co.\nDXC\n29%\n71%\n0%\n$29.00\n$30.43\n5%\n\n\nHP Inc.\nHPQ\n39%\n39%\n22%\n$30.26\n$30.63\n1%\n\n\nInternational Business Machines Corp.\nIBM\n31%\n56%\n13%\n$127.87\n$136.93\n7%\n\n\nWestern Union Company\nWU\n18%\n59%\n23%\n$24.60\n$25.14\n2%\n\n\nVontier Corp\nVNT\n73%\n27%\n0%\n$30.94\n$39.56\n28%\n\n\nSeagate Technology PLC\nSTX\n38%\n48%\n14%\n$74.93\n$74.83\n0%\n\n\nIntel Corp.\nINTC\n37%\n39%\n24%\n$62.25\n$63.93\n3%\n\n\nXerox Holdings Corp.\nXRX\n0%\n38%\n62%\n$26.53\n$18.00\n-32%\n\n\nNortonLifeLock Inc.\nNLOK\n50%\n50%\n0%\n$21.01\n$25.88\n23%\n\n\nWestern Digital Corp.\nWDC\n66%\n31%\n3%\n$66.58\n$71.35\n7%\n\n\nMicron Technology Inc.\nMU\n82%\n18%\n0%\n$85.41\n$112.26\n31%\n\n\nCisco Systems Inc.\nCSCO\n46%\n54%\n0%\n$48.29\n$51.90\n7%\n\n\nJuniper Networks Inc.\nJNPR\n24%\n57%\n19%\n$24.69\n$25.05\n1%\n\n\nOracle Corp.\nORCL\n37%\n56%\n7%\n$72.12\n$72.35\n0%\n\n\nNetApp Inc.\nNTAP\n46%\n46%\n8%\n$66.66\n$74.77\n12%\n\n\nQorvo Inc.\nQRVO\n65%\n35%\n0%\n$165.37\n$196.52\n19%\n\n\nBroadcom Inc.\nAVGO\n81%\n16%\n3%\n$437.59\n$512.83\n17%\n\n\nSkyworks Solutions Inc.\nSWKS\n57%\n43%\n0%\n$167.66\n$202.44\n21%\n\n\nQualcomm Inc.\nQCOM\n70%\n27%\n3%\n$127.87\n$171.90\n34%\n\n\nAkamai Technologies Inc.\nAKAM\n67%\n28%\n5%\n$96.36\n$123.69\n28%\n\n\nApplied Materials Inc.\nAMAT\n84%\n16%\n0%\n$112.68\n$136.83\n21%\n\n\nF5 Networks Inc.\nFFIV\n50%\n50%\n0%\n$191.70\n$220.13\n15%\n\n\nCognizant Technology Solutions Corp.

You can read how FTSE Russell describes the makeup of its indexeshere.</p>\n<p>So an easy way to play value at this time is to buy shares of an exchange traded fund that tracks the Russell 1000 Value Index,such as the iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF&nbsp;or the Vanguard Russell 1000 Value ETF.As always, do your own research on any investment you consider to make an informed decisions.</p>\n<p>For a large-cap technology value screen, we started with the information technology sector of the S&amp;P 500 Index.Here’s how this sector’s weighted aggregate forward price-to-earnings ratio has increased over the past five years:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/448e8db17465fbd7031f10b78f718961\" tg-width=\"1259\" tg-height=\"988\"><span>(FACTSET)</span></p>\n<p>The sector’s forward P/E his risen to 25.4.</p>\n<p>This doesn’t mean “expensive” tech stocks can’t be excellent investments. Salesforce.com&nbsp;was trading at a forward P/E of 68.7 five years ago, and the stock has nearly tripled since then.</p>\n<p>Getting back to the S&amp;P 500 tech value screen, we then added tech-oriented stocks in the communications services sector, including videogame developers and Facebook Inc.,Alphabet Inc.,Netflix Inc.&nbsp;and Twitter Inc..That brought the list up to 82 stocks. Two of the videogame developers made the cut, but among the four companies named above, only Facebook had a low enough P/E to pass the screen.</p>\n<p>Here are the 43 S&amp;P 500 tech companies that

So the figures are based on consensus estimates for&nbsp;<i>calendar</i>&nbsp;2020 among analyst polled by FactSet. For Micron Technology Inc.,the 2020 sales growth figure is for the past four reported fiscal quarters through Dec. 3.</p>\n<p><b>The curious case of Facebook</b></p>\n<p>You might wonder about Facebook, which lives in both the value and growth worlds. Its forward P/E valuation of 23.2 is relatively low. But Facebook is very much a growth stock — sales increased 22% last year, and analysts expect even better revenue growth of 25% in 2021.</p>\n<p>Facebook trades for seven times the consensus forward sales estimate, compared to a forward price-to-sales estimate of 5.9 for the entire S&amp;P 500 tech sector. But that “high” price-to-sales ratio may not be so important because it is such a profitable company. Its 2020 operating margin of 50% is among the highest on the list.</p>\n<p>Cody Willard called Facebook a bargain, not only because of its low P/E valuation but because of&nbsp;the long-term growth path&nbsp;for its Oculus virtual-reality hardware and software.</p>\n<p>There are 16 companies on the list that are expected to produce double-digit increases in sales in 2021, including Skyworks Solutions Inc.&nbsp;and Qualcomm Inc..Both are expected to grow their revenues by 21% this year.</p>\n<p><b>‘Old tech’</b></p>\n<p>Oracle Corp.&nbsp;is an “old tech” company that can be considered a value stock, as it trades for only 15.4 times the consensus earnings estimate for the next 12 months among analysts polled by FactSet. The company reported better-than-expected results for its fiscal third quarter after the close March 10 and&nbsp;increased its quarterly dividend by a third. Then on March 11, the stock fell as much as 9%. That “sell the good news” reaction may not be much of a surprise, as the stock had risen 48% over the previous year through March 10.</p>\n<p>International Business Machines Corp.&nbsp;is one of the cheapest stocks on the list, based on its forward P/E ratio of 11.5. The stock was up 2% from a year earlier through the close March 10. It has an attractive dividend yield of 5.10% that is supported by strong free cash flow.</p>\n<p>Victoria Greene, a portfolio manager at G Squared Private Wealth in College Station, Texas,may have been a bit early&nbsp;when naming IBM as an excellent long-term play in June. But in a recent interview, she said she was still confident that there was a lot of upside for IBM “as a turnaround story and reinventing themselves,” in light of its July 2019 acquisition of Red Hat and the strength of its Watson artificial-intelligence software platform.</p>\n<p><b>Wall Street’s price targets</b></p>\n<p>Leaving the list of 43 tech value stocks in the same order, here’s a summary of opinion among analysts polled by FactSet:</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th>COMPANY</th>\n   <th>TICKER</th>\n   <th>SHARE \"BUY\" RATINGS</th>\n   <th>SHARE NEUTRAL RATINGS</th>\n   <th>SHARE \"SELL\" RATINGS</th>\n   <th>CLOSING PRICE - MARCH 10</th>\n   <th>CONSENSUS PRICE TARGET</th>\n   <th>IMPLIED 12-MONTH UPSIDE POTENTIAL</th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE CO.</td>\n   <td>HPE</td>\n   <td>33%</td>\n   <td>57%</td>\n   <td>10%</td>\n   <td>$15.15</td>\n   <td>$15.46</td>\n   <td>2%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>DXC Technology Co.</td>\n   <td>DXC</td>\n   <td>29%</td>\n   <td>71%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$29.00</td>\n   <td>$30.43</td>\n   <td>5%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>HP Inc.</td>\n   <td>HPQ</td>\n   <td>39%</td>\n   <td>39%</td>\n   <td>22%</td>\n   <td>$30.26</td>\n   <td>$30.63</td>\n   <td>1%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>International Business Machines Corp.</td>\n   <td>IBM</td>\n   <td>31%</td>\n   <td>56%</td>\n   <td>13%</td>\n   <td>$127.87</td>\n   <td>$136.93</td>\n   <td>7%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Western Union Company</td>\n   <td>WU</td>\n   <td>18%</td>\n   <td>59%</td>\n   <td>23%</td>\n   <td>$24.60</td>\n   <td>$25.14</td>\n   <td>2%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Vontier Corp</td>\n   <td>VNT</td>\n   <td>73%</td>\n   <td>27%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$30.94</td>\n   <td>$39.56</td>\n   <td>28%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Seagate Technology PLC</td>\n   <td>STX</td>\n   <td>38%</td>\n   <td>48%</td>\n   <td>14%</td>\n   <td>$74.93</td>\n   <td>$74.83</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Intel Corp.</td>\n   <td>INTC</td>\n   <td>37%</td>\n   <td>39%</td>\n   <td>24%</td>\n   <td>$62.25</td>\n   <td>$63.93</td>\n   <td>3%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Xerox Holdings Corp.</td>\n   <td>XRX</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>38%</td>\n   <td>62%</td>\n   <td>$26.53</td>\n   <td>$18.00</td>\n   <td>-32%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>NortonLifeLock Inc.</td>\n   <td>NLOK</td>\n   <td>50%</td>\n   <td>50%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$21.01</td>\n   <td>$25.88</td>\n   <td>23%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Western Digital Corp.</td>\n   <td>WDC</td>\n   <td>66%</td>\n   <td>31%</td>\n   <td>3%</td>\n   <td>$66.58</td>\n   <td>$71.35</td>\n   <td>7%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Micron Technology Inc.</td>\n   <td>MU</td>\n   <td>82%</td>\n   <td>18%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$85.41</td>\n   <td>$112.26</td>\n   <td>31%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Cisco Systems Inc.</td>\n   <td>CSCO</td>\n   <td>46%</td>\n   <td>54%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$48.29</td>\n   <td>$51.90</td>\n   <td>7%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Juniper Networks Inc.</td>\n   <td>JNPR</td>\n   <td>24%</td>\n   <td>57%</td>\n   <td>19%</td>\n   <td>$24.69</td>\n   <td>$25.05</td>\n   <td>1%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Oracle Corp.</td>\n   <td>ORCL</td>\n   <td>37%</td>\n   <td>56%</td>\n   <td>7%</td>\n   <td>$72.12</td>\n   <td>$72.35</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>NetApp Inc.</td>\n   <td>NTAP</td>\n   <td>46%</td>\n   <td>46%</td>\n   <td>8%</td>\n   <td>$66.66</td>\n   <td>$74.77</td>\n   <td>12%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Qorvo Inc.</td>\n   <td>QRVO</td>\n   <td>65%</td>\n   <td>35%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$165.37</td>\n   <td>$196.52</td>\n   <td>19%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Broadcom Inc.</td>\n   <td>AVGO</td>\n   <td>81%</td>\n   <td>16%</td>\n   <td>3%</td>\n   <td>$437.59</td>\n   <td>$512.83</td>\n   <td>17%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Skyworks Solutions Inc.</td>\n   <td>SWKS</td>\n   <td>57%</td>\n   <td>43%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$167.66</td>\n   <td>$202.44</td>\n   <td>21%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Qualcomm Inc.</td>\n   <td>QCOM</td>\n   <td>70%</td>\n   <td>27%</td>\n   <td>3%</td>\n   <td>$127.87</td>\n   <td>$171.90</td>\n   <td>34%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Akamai Technologies Inc.</td>\n   <td>AKAM</td>\n   <td>67%</td>\n   <td>28%</td>\n   <td>5%</td>\n   <td>$96.36</td>\n   <td>$123.69</td>\n   <td>28%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Applied Materials Inc.</td>\n   <td>AMAT</td>\n   <td>84%</td>\n   <td>16%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$112.68</td>\n   <td>$136.83</td>\n   <td>21%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>F5 Networks Inc.</td>\n   <td>FFIV</td>\n   <td>50%</td>\n   <td>50%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$191.70</td>\n   <td>$220.13</td>\n   <td>15%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp.

Stocks with low valuations tend to do well during economic growth phases.\nMark DeCambre underlined the value rallyby pointing out that the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended at a record high Dec. 10, while the Nasdaq Composite Index was still in a correction.\nBut what about tech stocks? There’s plenty of value there too, as you can see in the screen below.\nEconomists polled by MarketWatch expect the U.S. economy to expand by 6% in 2021. Yes, that’s coming off a 3.5% contraction in 2020, according to the latest estimate from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. But the 2021 growth rate would be the fastest since 1984, according to World Bank data.\nTech value stock screen\nThere are several definitions of value stocks, but generally they are those that trade at lower valuations to earnings and typically grow their sales at a slower pace. That said, an individual value stock might also be considered a growth stock. This is illustrated by the Russell indexes.\nThe Russell 1000 Index is made up of the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies by market capitalization and is reconstituted each year in June. Selected from the Russell 1000 are the Russell 1000 Value Index,which has 849 stocks, and the Russell 1000 Growth Index,which has 453 stocks. The groups overlap, with 291 stocks in both. You can read how FTSE Russell describes the makeup of its indexeshere.\nSo an easy way to play value at this time is to buy shares of an exchange traded fund that tracks the Russell 1000 Value Index,such as the iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF or the Vanguard Russell 1000 Value ETF.As always, do your own research on any investment you consider to make an informed decisions.\nFor a large-cap technology value screen, we started with the information technology sector of the S&P 500 Index.Here’s how this sector’s weighted aggregate forward price-to-earnings ratio has increased over the past five years:\n(FACTSET)\nThe sector’s forward P/E his risen to 25.4.\nThis doesn’t mean “expensive” tech stocks can’t be excellent investments. Salesforce.com was trading at a forward P/E of 68.7 five years ago, and the stock has nearly tripled since then.\nGetting back to the S&P 500 tech value screen, we then added tech-oriented stocks in the communications services sector, including videogame developers and Facebook Inc.,Alphabet Inc.,Netflix Inc. and Twitter Inc..That brought the list up to 82 stocks. Two of the videogame developers made the cut, but among the four companies named above, only Facebook had a low enough P/E to pass the screen.\nHere are the 43 S&P 500 tech companies that trade below the tech sector’s forward P/E of 25.4:\n\n\n\nCOMPANY\nTICKER\nINDUSTRY\nFORWARD P/E\nFORWARD PRICE/SALES\nESTIMATED OPERATING MARGIN - 2020\nEXPECTED SALES GROWTH - 2021\nESTIMATED SALES GROWTH - 2020\nDIVIDEND YIELD\n\n\n\n\nHEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE CO.\nHPE\nCOMPUTER PROCESSING HARDWARE\n8.5\n0.7\n15.93%\n2%\n-6%\n3.17%\n\n\nDXC Technology Co.\nDXC\nData Processing Services\n9.1\n0.4\n11.83%\n-6%\n-8%\n0.00%\n\n\nHP Inc.\nHPQ\nComputer Processing Hardware\n9.6\n0.6\n8.58%\n5%\n-2%\n2.56%\n\n\nInternational Business Machines Corp.\nIBM\nInformation Technology Services\n11.5\n1.5\n22.24%\n1%\n-5%\n5.10%\n\n\nWestern Union Company\nWU\nFinance/Rental/Leasing\n12.0\n2.0\n25.48%\n6%\n-8%\n3.82%\n\n\nVontier Corp\nVNT\nOther Transportation\n12.7\n1.9\n23.54%\n2%\nN/A\n0.00%\n\n\nSeagate Technology PLC\nSTX\nComputer Peripherals\n12.9\n1.6\n16.69%\n2%\n1%\n3.58%\n\n\nIntel Corp.\nINTC\nSemiconductors\n13.1\n3.5\n46.12%\n-7%\n8%\n2.23%\n\n\nXerox Holdings Corp.\nXRX\nComputer Peripherals\n13.2\n0.7\n9.57%\n1%\n-23%\n3.77%\n\n\nNortonLifeLock Inc.\nNLOK\nPackaged Software\n13.3\n4.6\n45.97%\n5%\n-17%\n2.38%\n\n\nWestern Digital Corp.\nWDC\nComputer Peripherals\n13.6\n1.2\n13.77%\n5%\n-1%\n0.00%\n\n\nMicron Technology Inc.\nMU\nSemiconductors\n14.0\n3.4\n42.02%\n24%\n1%\n0.00%\n\n\nCisco Systems Inc.\nCSCO\nInformation Technology Services\n14.5\n4.0\n31.85%\n1%\n-3%\n3.06%\n\n\nJuniper Networks Inc.\nJNPR\nInformation Technology Services\n14.9\n1.8\n14.68%\n4%\n0%\n3.24%\n\n\nOracle Corp.\nORCL\nPackaged Software\n15.4\n5.2\n45.99%\n3%\n2%\n1.77%\n\n\nNetApp Inc.\nNTAP\nComputer Peripherals\n15.5\n2.5\n20.87%\n5%\n-1%\n2.88%\n\n\nQorvo Inc.\nQRVO\nSemiconductors\n16.0\n4.3\n33.32%\n12%\n19%\n0.00%\n\n\nBroadcom Inc.\nAVGO\nSemiconductors\n16.0\n6.6\n48.55%\n11%\n7%\n3.29%\n\n\nSkyworks Solutions Inc.\nSWKS\nSemiconductors\n17.1\n5.8\n39.24%\n32%\n11%\n1.19%\n\n\nQualcomm Inc.\nQCOM\nTelecommunications Equipment\n17.3\n4.6\n34.20%\n32%\n20%\n2.03%\n\n\nAkamai Technologies Inc.\nAKAM\nInternet Software/Services\n17.8\n4.6\n36.90%\n7%\n11%\n0.00%\n\n\nApplied Materials Inc.\nAMAT\nIndustrial Machinery\n18.3\n4.7\n27.95%\n22%\n19%\n0.78%\n\n\nF5 Networks Inc.\nFFIV\nComputer Communications\n18.5\n4.6\n23.93%\n8%\n6%\n0.00%\n\n\nCognizant Technology Solutions Corp.

So the figures are based on consensus estimates for calendar 2020 among analyst polled by FactSet. For Micron Technology Inc.,the 2020 sales growth figure is for the past four reported fiscal quarters through Dec. 3.\nThe curious case of Facebook\nYou might wonder about Facebook, which lives in both the value and growth worlds. Its forward P/E valuation of 23.2 is relatively low. But Facebook is very much a growth stock — sales increased 22% last year, and analysts expect even better revenue growth of 25% in 2021.\nFacebook trades for seven times the consensus forward sales estimate, compared to a forward price-to-sales estimate of 5.9 for the entire S&P 500 tech sector. But that “high” price-to-sales ratio may not be so important because it is such a profitable company. Its 2020 operating margin of 50% is among the highest on the list.\nCody Willard called Facebook a bargain, not only because of its low P/E valuation but because of the long-term growth path for its Oculus virtual-reality hardware and software.\nThere are 16 companies on the list that are expected to produce double-digit increases in sales in 2021, including Skyworks Solutions Inc. and Qualcomm Inc..Both are expected to grow their revenues by 21% this year.\n‘Old tech’\nOracle Corp. is an “old tech” company that can be considered a value stock, as it trades for only 15.4 times the consensus earnings estimate for the next 12 months among analysts polled by FactSet. The company reported better-than-expected results for its fiscal third quarter after the close March 10 and increased its quarterly dividend by a third. Then on March 11, the stock fell as much as 9%. That “sell the good news” reaction may not be much of a surprise, as the stock had risen 48% over the previous year through March 10.\nInternational Business Machines Corp. is one of the cheapest stocks on the list, based on its forward P/E ratio of 11.5. The stock was up 2% from a year earlier through the close March 10. It has an attractive dividend yield of 5.10% that is supported by strong free cash flow.\nVictoria Greene, a portfolio manager at G Squared Private Wealth in College Station, Texas,may have been a bit early when naming IBM as an excellent long-term play in June. But in a recent interview, she said she was still confident that there was a lot of upside for IBM “as a turnaround story and reinventing themselves,” in light of its July 2019 acquisition of Red Hat and the strength of its Watson artificial-intelligence software platform.\nWall Street’s price targets\nLeaving the list of 43 tech value stocks in the same order, here’s a summary of opinion among analysts polled by FactSet:\n\n\n\nCOMPANY\nTICKER\nSHARE \"BUY\" RATINGS\nSHARE NEUTRAL RATINGS\nSHARE \"SELL\" RATINGS\nCLOSING PRICE - MARCH 10\nCONSENSUS PRICE TARGET\nIMPLIED 12-MONTH UPSIDE POTENTIAL\n\n\n\n\nHEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE CO.\nHPE\n33%\n57%\n10%\n$15.15\n$15.46\n2%\n\n\nDXC Technology Co.\nDXC\n29%\n71%\n0%\n$29.00\n$30.43\n5%\n\n\nHP Inc.\nHPQ\n39%\n39%\n22%\n$30.26\n$30.63\n1%\n\n\nInternational Business Machines Corp.\nIBM\n31%\n56%\n13%\n$127.87\n$136.93\n7%\n\n\nWestern Union Company\nWU\n18%\n59%\n23%\n$24.60\n$25.14\n2%\n\n\nVontier Corp\nVNT\n73%\n27%\n0%\n$30.94\n$39.56\n28%\n\n\nSeagate Technology PLC\nSTX\n38%\n48%\n14%\n$74.93\n$74.83\n0%\n\n\nIntel Corp.\nINTC\n37%\n39%\n24%\n$62.25\n$63.93\n3%\n\n\nXerox Holdings Corp.\nXRX\n0%\n38%\n62%\n$26.53\n$18.00\n-32%\n\n\nNortonLifeLock Inc.\nNLOK\n50%\n50%\n0%\n$21.01\n$25.88\n23%\n\n\nWestern Digital Corp.\nWDC\n66%\n31%\n3%\n$66.58\n$71.35\n7%\n\n\nMicron Technology Inc.\nMU\n82%\n18%\n0%\n$85.41\n$112.26\n31%\n\n\nCisco Systems Inc.\nCSCO\n46%\n54%\n0%\n$48.29\n$51.90\n7%\n\n\nJuniper Networks Inc.\nJNPR\n24%\n57%\n19%\n$24.69\n$25.05\n1%\n\n\nOracle Corp.\nORCL\n37%\n56%\n7%\n$72.12\n$72.35\n0%\n\n\nNetApp Inc.\nNTAP\n46%\n46%\n8%\n$66.66\n$74.77\n12%\n\n\nQorvo Inc.\nQRVO\n65%\n35%\n0%\n$165.37\n$196.52\n19%\n\n\nBroadcom Inc.\nAVGO\n81%\n16%\n3%\n$437.59\n$512.83\n17%\n\n\nSkyworks Solutions Inc.\nSWKS\n57%\n43%\n0%\n$167.66\n$202.44\n21%\n\n\nQualcomm Inc.\nQCOM\n70%\n27%\n3%\n$127.87\n$171.90\n34%\n\n\nAkamai Technologies Inc.\nAKAM\n67%\n28%\n5%\n$96.36\n$123.69\n28%\n\n\nApplied Materials Inc.\nAMAT\n84%\n16%\n0%\n$112.68\n$136.83\n21%\n\n\nF5 Networks Inc.\nFFIV\n50%\n50%\n0%\n$191.70\n$220.13\n15%\n\n\nCognizant Technology Solutions Corp.

So the figures are based on consensus estimates for&nbsp;<i>calendar</i>&nbsp;2020 among analyst polled by FactSet. For Micron Technology Inc.,the 2020 sales growth figure is for the past four reported fiscal quarters through Dec. 3.</p>\n<p><b>The curious case of Facebook</b></p>\n<p>You might wonder about Facebook, which lives in both the value and growth worlds. Its forward P/E valuation of 23.2 is relatively low. But Facebook is very much a growth stock — sales increased 22% last year, and analysts expect even better revenue growth of 25% in 2021.</p>\n<p>Facebook trades for seven times the consensus forward sales estimate, compared to a forward price-to-sales estimate of 5.9 for the entire S&amp;P 500 tech sector. But that “high” price-to-sales ratio may not be so important because it is such a profitable company. Its 2020 operating margin of 50% is among the highest on the list.</p>\n<p>Cody Willard called Facebook a bargain, not only because of its low P/E valuation but because of&nbsp;the long-term growth path&nbsp;for its Oculus virtual-reality hardware and software.</p>\n<p>There are 16 companies on the list that are expected to produce double-digit increases in sales in 2021, including Skyworks Solutions Inc.&nbsp;and Qualcomm Inc..Both are expected to grow their revenues by 21% this year.</p>\n<p><b>‘Old tech’</b></p>\n<p>Oracle Corp.&nbsp;is an “old tech” company that can be considered a value stock, as it trades for only 15.4 times the consensus earnings estimate for the next 12 months among analysts polled by FactSet. The company reported better-than-expected results for its fiscal third quarter after the close March 10 and&nbsp;increased its quarterly dividend by a third. Then on March 11, the stock fell as much as 9%. That “sell the good news” reaction may not be much of a surprise, as the stock had risen 48% over the previous year through March 10.</p>\n<p>International Business Machines Corp.&nbsp;is one of the cheapest stocks on the list, based on its forward P/E ratio of 11.5. The stock was up 2% from a year earlier through the close March 10. It has an attractive dividend yield of 5.10% that is supported by strong free cash flow.</p>\n<p>Victoria Greene, a portfolio manager at G Squared Private Wealth in College Station, Texas,may have been a bit early&nbsp;when naming IBM as an excellent long-term play in June. But in a recent interview, she said she was still confident that there was a lot of upside for IBM “as a turnaround story and reinventing themselves,” in light of its July 2019 acquisition of Red Hat and the strength of its Watson artificial-intelligence software platform.</p>\n<p><b>Wall Street’s price targets</b></p>\n<p>Leaving the list of 43 tech value stocks in the same order, here’s a summary of opinion among analysts polled by FactSet:</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th>COMPANY</th>\n   <th>TICKER</th>\n   <th>SHARE \"BUY\" RATINGS</th>\n   <th>SHARE NEUTRAL RATINGS</th>\n   <th>SHARE \"SELL\" RATINGS</th>\n   <th>CLOSING PRICE - MARCH 10</th>\n   <th>CONSENSUS PRICE TARGET</th>\n   <th>IMPLIED 12-MONTH UPSIDE POTENTIAL</th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE CO.</td>\n   <td>HPE</td>\n   <td>33%</td>\n   <td>57%</td>\n   <td>10%</td>\n   <td>$15.15</td>\n   <td>$15.46</td>\n   <td>2%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>DXC Technology Co.</td>\n   <td>DXC</td>\n   <td>29%</td>\n   <td>71%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$29.00</td>\n   <td>$30.43</td>\n   <td>5%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>HP Inc.</td>\n   <td>HPQ</td>\n   <td>39%</td>\n   <td>39%</td>\n   <td>22%</td>\n   <td>$30.26</td>\n   <td>$30.63</td>\n   <td>1%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>International Business Machines Corp.</td>\n   <td>IBM</td>\n   <td>31%</td>\n   <td>56%</td>\n   <td>13%</td>\n   <td>$127.87</td>\n   <td>$136.93</td>\n   <td>7%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Western Union Company</td>\n   <td>WU</td>\n   <td>18%</td>\n   <td>59%</td>\n   <td>23%</td>\n   <td>$24.60</td>\n   <td>$25.14</td>\n   <td>2%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Vontier Corp</td>\n   <td>VNT</td>\n   <td>73%</td>\n   <td>27%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$30.94</td>\n   <td>$39.56</td>\n   <td>28%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Seagate Technology PLC</td>\n   <td>STX</td>\n   <td>38%</td>\n   <td>48%</td>\n   <td>14%</td>\n   <td>$74.93</td>\n   <td>$74.83</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Intel Corp.</td>\n   <td>INTC</td>\n   <td>37%</td>\n   <td>39%</td>\n   <td>24%</td>\n   <td>$62.25</td>\n   <td>$63.93</td>\n   <td>3%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Xerox Holdings Corp.</td>\n   <td>XRX</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>38%</td>\n   <td>62%</td>\n   <td>$26.53</td>\n   <td>$18.00</td>\n   <td>-32%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>NortonLifeLock Inc.</td>\n   <td>NLOK</td>\n   <td>50%</td>\n   <td>50%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$21.01</td>\n   <td>$25.88</td>\n   <td>23%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Western Digital Corp.</td>\n   <td>WDC</td>\n   <td>66%</td>\n   <td>31%</td>\n   <td>3%</td>\n   <td>$66.58</td>\n   <td>$71.35</td>\n   <td>7%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Micron Technology Inc.</td>\n   <td>MU</td>\n   <td>82%</td>\n   <td>18%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$85.41</td>\n   <td>$112.26</td>\n   <td>31%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Cisco Systems Inc.</td>\n   <td>CSCO</td>\n   <td>46%</td>\n   <td>54%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$48.29</td>\n   <td>$51.90</td>\n   <td>7%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Juniper Networks Inc.</td>\n   <td>JNPR</td>\n   <td>24%</td>\n   <td>57%</td>\n   <td>19%</td>\n   <td>$24.69</td>\n   <td>$25.05</td>\n   <td>1%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Oracle Corp.</td>\n   <td>ORCL</td>\n   <td>37%</td>\n   <td>56%</td>\n   <td>7%</td>\n   <td>$72.12</td>\n   <td>$72.35</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>NetApp Inc.</td>\n   <td>NTAP</td>\n   <td>46%</td>\n   <td>46%</td>\n   <td>8%</td>\n   <td>$66.66</td>\n   <td>$74.77</td>\n   <td>12%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Qorvo Inc.</td>\n   <td>QRVO</td>\n   <td>65%</td>\n   <td>35%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$165.37</td>\n   <td>$196.52</td>\n   <td>19%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Broadcom Inc.</td>\n   <td>AVGO</td>\n   <td>81%</td>\n   <td>16%</td>\n   <td>3%</td>\n   <td>$437.59</td>\n   <td>$512.83</td>\n   <td>17%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Skyworks Solutions Inc.</td>\n   <td>SWKS</td>\n   <td>57%</td>\n   <td>43%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$167.66</td>\n   <td>$202.44</td>\n   <td>21%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Qualcomm Inc.</td>\n   <td>QCOM</td>\n   <td>70%</td>\n   <td>27%</td>\n   <td>3%</td>\n   <td>$127.87</td>\n   <td>$171.90</td>\n   <td>34%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Akamai Technologies Inc.</td>\n   <td>AKAM</td>\n   <td>67%</td>\n   <td>28%</td>\n   <td>5%</td>\n   <td>$96.36</td>\n   <td>$123.69</td>\n   <td>28%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Applied Materials Inc.</td>\n   <td>AMAT</td>\n   <td>84%</td>\n   <td>16%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$112.68</td>\n   <td>$136.83</td>\n   <td>21%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>F5 Networks Inc.</td>\n   <td>FFIV</td>\n   <td>50%</td>\n   <td>50%</td>\n   <td>0%</td>\n   <td>$191.70</td>\n   <td>$220.13</td>\n   <td>15%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp.

Stocks with low valuations tend to do well during economic growth phases.\nMark DeCambre underlined the value rallyby pointing out that the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended at a record high Dec. 10, while the Nasdaq Composite Index was still in a correction.\nBut what about tech stocks? There’s plenty of value there too, as you can see in the screen below.\nEconomists polled by MarketWatch expect the U.S. economy to expand by 6% in 2021. Yes, that’s coming off a 3.5% contraction in 2020, according to the latest estimate from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. But the 2021 growth rate would be the fastest since 1984, according to World Bank data.\nTech value stock screen\nThere are several definitions of value stocks, but generally they are those that trade at lower valuations to earnings and typically grow their sales at a slower pace. That said, an individual value stock might also be considered a growth stock. This is illustrated by the Russell indexes.\nThe Russell 1000 Index is made up of the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies by market capitalization and is reconstituted each year in June. Selected from the Russell 1000 are the Russell 1000 Value Index,which has 849 stocks, and the Russell 1000 Growth Index,which has 453 stocks. The groups overlap, with 291 stocks in both. You can read how FTSE Russell describes the makeup of its indexeshere.\nSo an easy way to play value at this time is to buy shares of an exchange traded fund that tracks the Russell 1000 Value Index,such as the iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF or the Vanguard Russell 1000 Value ETF.As always, do your own research on any investment you consider to make an informed decisions.\nFor a large-cap technology value screen, we started with the information technology sector of the S&P 500 Index.Here’s how this sector’s weighted aggregate forward price-to-earnings ratio has increased over the past five years:\n(FACTSET)\nThe sector’s forward P/E his risen to 25.4.\nThis doesn’t mean “expensive” tech stocks can’t be excellent investments. Salesforce.com was trading at a forward P/E of 68.7 five years ago, and the stock has nearly tripled since then.\nGetting back to the S&P 500 tech value screen, we then added tech-oriented stocks in the communications services sector, including videogame developers and Facebook Inc.,Alphabet Inc.,Netflix Inc. and Twitter Inc..That brought the list up to 82 stocks. Two of the videogame developers made the cut, but among the four companies named above, only Facebook had a low enough P/E to pass the screen.\nHere are the 43 S&P 500 tech companies that trade below the tech sector’s forward P/E of 25.4:\n\n\n\nCOMPANY\nTICKER\nINDUSTRY\nFORWARD P/E\nFORWARD PRICE/SALES\nESTIMATED OPERATING MARGIN - 2020\nEXPECTED SALES GROWTH - 2021\nESTIMATED SALES GROWTH - 2020\nDIVIDEND YIELD\n\n\n\n\nHEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE CO.\nHPE\nCOMPUTER PROCESSING HARDWARE\n8.5\n0.7\n15.93%\n2%\n-6%\n3.17%\n\n\nDXC Technology Co.\nDXC\nData Processing Services\n9.1\n0.4\n11.83%\n-6%\n-8%\n0.00%\n\n\nHP Inc.\nHPQ\nComputer Processing Hardware\n9.6\n0.6\n8.58%\n5%\n-2%\n2.56%\n\n\nInternational Business Machines Corp.\nIBM\nInformation Technology Services\n11.5\n1.5\n22.24%\n1%\n-5%\n5.10%\n\n\nWestern Union Company\nWU\nFinance/Rental/Leasing\n12.0\n2.0\n25.48%\n6%\n-8%\n3.82%\n\n\nVontier Corp\nVNT\nOther Transportation\n12.7\n1.9\n23.54%\n2%\nN/A\n0.00%\n\n\nSeagate Technology PLC\nSTX\nComputer Peripherals\n12.9\n1.6\n16.69%\n2%\n1%\n3.58%\n\n\nIntel Corp.\nINTC\nSemiconductors\n13.1\n3.5\n46.12%\n-7%\n8%\n2.23%\n\n\nXerox Holdings Corp.\nXRX\nComputer Peripherals\n13.2\n0.7\n9.57%\n1%\n-23%\n3.77%\n\n\nNortonLifeLock Inc.\nNLOK\nPackaged Software\n13.3\n4.6\n45.97%\n5%\n-17%\n2.38%\n\n\nWestern Digital Corp.\nWDC\nComputer Peripherals\n13.6\n1.2\n13.77%\n5%\n-1%\n0.00%\n\n\nMicron Technology Inc.\nMU\nSemiconductors\n14.0\n3.4\n42.02%\n24%\n1%\n0.00%\n\n\nCisco Systems Inc.\nCSCO\nInformation Technology Services\n14.5\n4.0\n31.85%\n1%\n-3%\n3.06%\n\n\nJuniper Networks Inc.\nJNPR\nInformation Technology Services\n14.9\n1.8\n14.68%\n4%\n0%\n3.24%\n\n\nOracle Corp.\nORCL\nPackaged Software\n15.4\n5.2\n45.99%\n3%\n2%\n1.77%\n\n\nNetApp Inc.\nNTAP\nComputer Peripherals\n15.5\n2.5\n20.87%\n5%\n-1%\n2.88%\n\n\nQorvo Inc.\nQRVO\nSemiconductors\n16.0\n4.3\n33.32%\n12%\n19%\n0.00%\n\n\nBroadcom Inc.\nAVGO\nSemiconductors\n16.0\n6.6\n48.55%\n11%\n7%\n3.29%\n\n\nSkyworks Solutions Inc.\nSWKS\nSemiconductors\n17.1\n5.8\n39.24%\n32%\n11%\n1.19%\n\n\nQualcomm Inc.\nQCOM\nTelecommunications Equipment\n17.3\n4.6\n34.20%\n32%\n20%\n2.03%\n\n\nAkamai Technologies Inc.\nAKAM\nInternet Software/Services\n17.8\n4.6\n36.90%\n7%\n11%\n0.00%\n\n\nApplied Materials Inc.\nAMAT\nIndustrial Machinery\n18.3\n4.7\n27.95%\n22%\n19%\n0.78%\n\n\nF5 Networks Inc.\nFFIV\nComputer Communications\n18.5\n4.6\n23.93%\n8%\n6%\n0.00%\n\n\nCognizant Technology Solutions Corp.

So the figures are based on consensus estimates for calendar 2020 among analyst polled by FactSet. For Micron Technology Inc.,the 2020 sales growth figure is for the past four reported fiscal quarters through Dec. 3.\nThe curious case of Facebook\nYou might wonder about Facebook, which lives in both the value and growth worlds. Its forward P/E valuation of 23.2 is relatively low. But Facebook is very much a growth stock — sales increased 22% last year, and analysts expect even better revenue growth of 25% in 2021.\nFacebook trades for seven times the consensus forward sales estimate, compared to a forward price-to-sales estimate of 5.9 for the entire S&P 500 tech sector. But that “high” price-to-sales ratio may not be so important because it is such a profitable company. Its 2020 operating margin of 50% is among the highest on the list.\nCody Willard called Facebook a bargain, not only because of its low P/E valuation but because of the long-term growth path for its Oculus virtual-reality hardware and software.\nThere are 16 companies on the list that are expected to produce double-digit increases in sales in 2021, including Skyworks Solutions Inc. and Qualcomm Inc..Both are expected to grow their revenues by 21% this year.\n‘Old tech’\nOracle Corp. is an “old tech” company that can be considered a value stock, as it trades for only 15.4 times the consensus earnings estimate for the next 12 months among analysts polled by FactSet. The company reported better-than-expected results for its fiscal third quarter after the close March 10 and increased its quarterly dividend by a third. Then on March 11, the stock fell as much as 9%. That “sell the good news” reaction may not be much of a surprise, as the stock had risen 48% over the previous year through March 10.\nInternational Business Machines Corp. is one of the cheapest stocks on the list, based on its forward P/E ratio of 11.5. The stock was up 2% from a year earlier through the close March 10. It has an attractive dividend yield of 5.10% that is supported by strong free cash flow.\nVictoria Greene, a portfolio manager at G Squared Private Wealth in College Station, Texas,may have been a bit early when naming IBM as an excellent long-term play in June. But in a recent interview, she said she was still confident that there was a lot of upside for IBM “as a turnaround story and reinventing themselves,” in light of its July 2019 acquisition of Red Hat and the strength of its Watson artificial-intelligence software platform.\nWall Street’s price targets\nLeaving the list of 43 tech value stocks in the same order, here’s a summary of opinion among analysts polled by FactSet:\n\n\n\nCOMPANY\nTICKER\nSHARE \"BUY\" RATINGS\nSHARE NEUTRAL RATINGS\nSHARE \"SELL\" RATINGS\nCLOSING PRICE - MARCH 10\nCONSENSUS PRICE TARGET\nIMPLIED 12-MONTH UPSIDE POTENTIAL\n\n\n\n\nHEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE CO.\nHPE\n33%\n57%\n10%\n$15.15\n$15.46\n2%\n\n\nDXC Technology Co.\nDXC\n29%\n71%\n0%\n$29.00\n$30.43\n5%\n\n\nHP Inc.\nHPQ\n39%\n39%\n22%\n$30.26\n$30.63\n1%\n\n\nInternational Business Machines Corp.\nIBM\n31%\n56%\n13%\n$127.87\n$136.93\n7%\n\n\nWestern Union Company\nWU\n18%\n59%\n23%\n$24.60\n$25.14\n2%\n\n\nVontier Corp\nVNT\n73%\n27%\n0%\n$30.94\n$39.56\n28%\n\n\nSeagate Technology PLC\nSTX\n38%\n48%\n14%\n$74.93\n$74.83\n0%\n\n\nIntel Corp.\nINTC\n37%\n39%\n24%\n$62.25\n$63.93\n3%\n\n\nXerox Holdings Corp.\nXRX\n0%\n38%\n62%\n$26.53\n$18.00\n-32%\n\n\nNortonLifeLock Inc.\nNLOK\n50%\n50%\n0%\n$21.01\n$25.88\n23%\n\n\nWestern Digital Corp.\nWDC\n66%\n31%\n3%\n$66.58\n$71.35\n7%\n\n\nMicron Technology Inc.\nMU\n82%\n18%\n0%\n$85.41\n$112.26\n31%\n\n\nCisco Systems Inc.\nCSCO\n46%\n54%\n0%\n$48.29\n$51.90\n7%\n\n\nJuniper Networks Inc.\nJNPR\n24%\n57%\n19%\n$24.69\n$25.05\n1%\n\n\nOracle Corp.\nORCL\n37%\n56%\n7%\n$72.12\n$72.35\n0%\n\n\nNetApp Inc.\nNTAP\n46%\n46%\n8%\n$66.66\n$74.77\n12%\n\n\nQorvo Inc.\nQRVO\n65%\n35%\n0%\n$165.37\n$196.52\n19%\n\n\nBroadcom Inc.\nAVGO\n81%\n16%\n3%\n$437.59\n$512.83\n17%\n\n\nSkyworks Solutions Inc.\nSWKS\n57%\n43%\n0%\n$167.66\n$202.44\n21%\n\n\nQualcomm Inc.\nQCOM\n70%\n27%\n3%\n$127.87\n$171.90\n34%\n\n\nAkamai Technologies Inc.\nAKAM\n67%\n28%\n5%\n$96.36\n$123.69\n28%\n\n\nApplied Materials Inc.\nAMAT\n84%\n16%\n0%\n$112.68\n$136.83\n21%\n\n\nF5 Networks Inc.\nFFIV\n50%\n50%\n0%\n$191.70\n$220.13\n15%\n\n\nCognizant Technology Solutions Corp.

Electric vehicle maker Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) had certainly raised prices around the globe on multiple models thanks tostrong demand as well as inflationary pressures leading to higher costs. Late last year however, the company started to reduce pricing in China and offer incentives in other countries to help with sales, but these efforts weren&#39;t enough to meet Q4 delivery expectations. This year will be a very different one for the automaker, however, as more price cuts will likely be needed to drive delivery volume growth in a meaningful way. Today, I&#39;d like to examine how this could impact overall results.</p><p>To think about where things are going, we first have to look at where they have been. In the chart below, I&#39;ve shown what Tesla&#39;s automotive revenues per unit has been since the start of 2019, which is when the Model 3 ramp really went into full blast. This number is simply total automotive revenue, including leasing revenue and credit sales revenues, divided by the number of vehicles delivered in the quarter. Other people may calculate average selling prices differently, but this is how I want to show things for simplicity.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/16835a805988e2a320c6d129be17e614\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"399\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Automotive Revenue Per Delivered Vehicle (Company Filings)</span></p><p>In Q3 2022, Tesla reported $54,364 in automotive revenues per vehicle delivered. That number is expected to come down a couple of percent in Q4 due to three reasons. First, there were price cuts in China during the quarter, along with numerous end of quarter incentives around the globe to help with sales. Second, the mix of Model 3 and Y vehicles delivered was higher, which lowers the average per vehicle. Finally, the leasing percentage ticked up a little, also hurting the average. On the flip side, Tesla could recognize a bit of previously deferred full self-driving revenues, perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars, but that would create an apples to oranges comparison here.</p><p>For 2023, my current estimate is that Tesla will deliver about 1.94 million vehicles, which is just a little under its long term growth target of 50% growth per year. For this argument, let&#39;s assume that the average revenue per delivery comes down to $48,000, which reflects the latest price cuts in China as well as more potential price cuts to drive demand in other countries. This results in a little more than $23 billion in automotive revenue per quarter, and for this exercise, I&#39;m just assuming each quarter has the same amount of deliveries. As we&#39;ve seen in the past, the ending numbers will likely be lower in the first quarter and then ramp throughout the year.</p><p>With Tesla increasing volumes by about 50% this year, one would likely expect that it can reduce its costs per unit as well. Some key materials, especially on the battery side, have shown some deflation recently, which should help the company&#39;s cost structure. For this argument, let&#39;s assume Tesla reduces its cost per delivered vehicle by $2,000 over Q3 2022 levels, where GAAP automotive gross margins came in at 27.88%. The chart below shows how overall GAAP automotive gross margins have fared over the same timeline used above. These margins include credit sales, because that&#39;s what appears on the income statement, but many analysts and investors also focus on non-GAAP margins too that exclude credits.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3b27315de6bb9822a78c330cedda1775\" tg-width=\"585\" tg-height=\"383\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Tesla GAAP Automotive Gross Margin (Company Filings)</span></p><p>In the projection I detailed above, Tesla&#39;s gross margin drops to 22.49% for this year, a nearly 540 basis point drop over Q3 2022 levels. Some might consider this to be a disaster for the company. Well, it turns out that in this example, Tesla&#39;s gross margin dollar figure actually increases by $24 million to $5.236 billion. That&#39;s the power of the extra volume here. Should revenues per unit come in higher or the cost per unit come in lower, there would obviously be even more upside for gross margin dollars. For now, I&#39;m not assuming that Cybertruck launch costs will be too material to the overall year&#39;s results, but that&#39;s an item that we can examine further as the year progresses.</p><p>Of course, the automotive gross margin picture is just one part of Tesla. In Q3 2022, for example, the energy and services segment also combined for $170 million in gross profits. A number of Tesla bulls are expecting storage sales to surge this year, which could deliver a lot more gross profit here. Over the course of the full year, that could mean at least a billion dollars. Thus, it will just be a matter of how total operating expenses fare, if they rise a bit along with the surge in total revenue. Tesla is also expected to generate more interest income and have less interest expense this year. Thus, the Street currently expects more than 25% growth in non-GAAP earnings per share this year to $5.11, although that number was approaching $6 about three months ago before price cuts began and economic worries started to really increase.</p><p>So what&#39;s the key here? Well, that gross margin figure will be very closely watched. If I reduce the hit this year to just 4 percentage points instead of the 5.4 shown above, gross margin dollars increase by $325 million per quarter. Holding all else equal, and assuming a 15% tax rate along with another small increase in the share count, you get 30 cents of earnings per share upside. If you want to see automotive gross margin dollars hold at their Q3 2022 level, watch the $48,000 per vehicle delivered price average, along with roughly 22.5% in GAAP automotive gross margins. If Tesla has to cut prices further or margins trend closer to 20%, then you are likely to see earnings per share come in below $5 this year, which will disappoint many of the bulls.</p><p>As for Tesla shares, they remain stuck towards the lower end of their yearly range, trading below $120 on Tuesday. Elon Musk&#39;s purchase of Twitter and the resulting share sales and drama there has hurt Tesla sentiment. Investors have also worried about how price cuts could impact revenues and margins in this very competitive space, as that could mean less than expected earnings per share growth. The Street remains very positive on the stock, with the average price target of nearly $217 reflecting tremendous upside, but that key valuation figure was at $305 just three months ago. I expect that we&#39;ll see a lot of price target changes coming after the Q4 earnings report in two weeks as analysts get a lot more color on how 2023 could look.</p><p>In the end, 2023 will look a lot different for Tesla than the last couple of years. Instead of rising prices and generally higher gross margins, the company is now reducing prices in many areas to drive volume growth towards its longer term targets. That could result in a meaningfully lower GAAP gross margin percentage for Tesla if it cannot drive costs lower enough, but that doesn&#39;t necessarily mean gross margin dollars will also fall. As long as the margin percentage doesn&#39;t crash, Tesla has a chance to grow its margin dollars and thus earnings per share this year, although analysts have reduced their expectations a bit in recent months. That earnings per share growth will likely be needed to get shares back above the $200 level that analysts see the stock worth.</p><p><i>This article is written by Bill Maurer for reference only.

Electric vehicle maker Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) had certainly raised prices around the globe on multiple models thanks tostrong demand as well as inflationary pressures leading to higher costs. Late last year however, the company started to reduce pricing in China and offer incentives in other countries to help with sales, but these efforts weren't enough to meet Q4 delivery expectations. This year will be a very different one for the automaker, however, as more price cuts will likely be needed to drive delivery volume growth in a meaningful way. Today, I'd like to examine how this could impact overall results.To think about where things are going, we first have to look at where they have been. In the chart below, I've shown what Tesla's automotive revenues per unit has been since the start of 2019, which is when the Model 3 ramp really went into full blast. This number is simply total automotive revenue, including leasing revenue and credit sales revenues, divided by the number of vehicles delivered in the quarter. Other people may calculate average selling prices differently, but this is how I want to show things for simplicity.Automotive Revenue Per Delivered Vehicle (Company Filings)In Q3 2022, Tesla reported $54,364 in automotive revenues per vehicle delivered. That number is expected to come down a couple of percent in Q4 due to three reasons. First, there were price cuts in China during the quarter, along with numerous end of quarter incentives around the globe to help with sales. Second, the mix of Model 3 and Y vehicles delivered was higher, which lowers the average per vehicle. Finally, the leasing percentage ticked up a little, also hurting the average. On the flip side, Tesla could recognize a bit of previously deferred full self-driving revenues, perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars, but that would create an apples to oranges comparison here.For 2023, my current estimate is that Tesla will deliver about 1.94 million vehicles, which is just a little under its long term growth target of 50% growth per year. For this argument, let's assume that the average revenue per delivery comes down to $48,000, which reflects the latest price cuts in China as well as more potential price cuts to drive demand in other countries. This results in a little more than $23 billion in automotive revenue per quarter, and for this exercise, I'm just assuming each quarter has the same amount of deliveries. As we've seen in the past, the ending numbers will likely be lower in the first quarter and then ramp throughout the year.With Tesla increasing volumes by about 50% this year, one would likely expect that it can reduce its costs per unit as well. Some key materials, especially on the battery side, have shown some deflation recently, which should help the company's cost structure. For this argument, let's assume Tesla reduces its cost per delivered vehicle by $2,000 over Q3 2022 levels, where GAAP automotive gross margins came in at 27.88%. The chart below shows how overall GAAP automotive gross margins have fared over the same timeline used above. These margins include credit sales, because that's what appears on the income statement, but many analysts and investors also focus on non-GAAP margins too that exclude credits.Tesla GAAP Automotive Gross Margin (Company Filings)In the projection I detailed above, Tesla's gross margin drops to 22.49% for this year, a nearly 540 basis point drop over Q3 2022 levels. Some might consider this to be a disaster for the company. Well, it turns out that in this example, Tesla's gross margin dollar figure actually increases by $24 million to $5.236 billion. That's the power of the extra volume here. Should revenues per unit come in higher or the cost per unit come in lower, there would obviously be even more upside for gross margin dollars. For now, I'm not assuming that Cybertruck launch costs will be too material to the overall year's results, but that's an item that we can examine further as the year progresses.Of course, the automotive gross margin picture is just one part of Tesla. In Q3 2022, for example, the energy and services segment also combined for $170 million in gross profits. A number of Tesla bulls are expecting storage sales to surge this year, which could deliver a lot more gross profit here. Over the course of the full year, that could mean at least a billion dollars. Thus, it will just be a matter of how total operating expenses fare, if they rise a bit along with the surge in total revenue. Tesla is also expected to generate more interest income and have less interest expense this year. Thus, the Street currently expects more than 25% growth in non-GAAP earnings per share this year to $5.11, although that number was approaching $6 about three months ago before price cuts began and economic worries started to really increase.So what's the key here? Well, that gross margin figure will be very closely watched. If I reduce the hit this year to just 4 percentage points instead of the 5.4 shown above, gross margin dollars increase by $325 million per quarter. Holding all else equal, and assuming a 15% tax rate along with another small increase in the share count, you get 30 cents of earnings per share upside. If you want to see automotive gross margin dollars hold at their Q3 2022 level, watch the $48,000 per vehicle delivered price average, along with roughly 22.5% in GAAP automotive gross margins. If Tesla has to cut prices further or margins trend closer to 20%, then you are likely to see earnings per share come in below $5 this year, which will disappoint many of the bulls.As for Tesla shares, they remain stuck towards the lower end of their yearly range, trading below $120 on Tuesday. Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter and the resulting share sales and drama there has hurt Tesla sentiment. Investors have also worried about how price cuts could impact revenues and margins in this very competitive space, as that could mean less than expected earnings per share growth. The Street remains very positive on the stock, with the average price target of nearly $217 reflecting tremendous upside, but that key valuation figure was at $305 just three months ago. I expect that we'll see a lot of price target changes coming after the Q4 earnings report in two weeks as analysts get a lot more color on how 2023 could look.In the end, 2023 will look a lot different for Tesla than the last couple of years. Instead of rising prices and generally higher gross margins, the company is now reducing prices in many areas to drive volume growth towards its longer term targets. That could result in a meaningfully lower GAAP gross margin percentage for Tesla if it cannot drive costs lower enough, but that doesn't necessarily mean gross margin dollars will also fall. As long as the margin percentage doesn't crash, Tesla has a chance to grow its margin dollars and thus earnings per share this year, although analysts have reduced their expectations a bit in recent months. That earnings per share growth will likely be needed to get shares back above the $200 level that analysts see the stock worth.This article is written by Bill Maurer for reference only.

While the sector is incredibly risky, if investors had to pick between AMC Entertainment or Cinemark, one may have the edge over the other.In this piece, we used TipRanks’ Comparison Tool to check out two movie theater stocks — CNK and AMC — to see which stock has the best potential. Regarding upside potential from analyst price targets, CNK looks the best, but let’s look into each stock and the theatre industry further.Well before the COVID-19 crisis capsized the global economy, movie theater stocks were courting trouble. With streaming services like Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) diving headfirst into the broader film and television arena, consumers suddenly found themselves with a more convenient and cheaper mechanism for entertainment. Add in the disruption of the pandemic – leading to a temporary shutdown of non-essential businesses – and the box office incurred an unprecedented catastrophe.Still, the gradual return to normal has clearly benefited movie theater stocks. For the better part of two years, consumers found themselves under quarantine or otherwise restricted from normal activities. With mitigation protocols fading, though, many people rushed out into the real world, eager to reclaim said activities. One such social endeavor, of course, involved watching a blockbuster on the big screen.High-profile and much-anticipated films – particularly the record-shattering Top Gun: Maverick – brought audiences back to the box office. Although movie theater stocks responded to the implications of increased traffic, one glaring headwind remained: the cineplex business depends on Hollywood’s willingness to spend big on major blockbusters.In other words, content diversity is now one of the biggest – if not the biggest – challenge facing movie theater stocks.In early August, I wrote, “Back in 2000, the top 10 grossing films at the domestic box office featured a wide range of genres. From action movies to comedies to even a biopic of American activist Erin Brockovich, the consumer ecosystem at the time facilitated content diversity. Since people were willing to pay for art, Hollywood studios gave moviegoers exactly what they wanted.”“Fast forward to 2019, and the situation changed dramatically. Here, the top 10 grossing films mostly featured science fiction or comic-book-related films. Stated differently, if Hollywood wants to compete in the modern entertainment arena, it must pump out costly summer blockbusters.”While the solution seems simple, it’s also not. Production studios must gamble that their investments will be worth it. Otherwise, entire organizations can go belly up. Given this trying circumstance, which one of the major movie theater stocks will weather the storm the best?AMC Entertainment (NYSE: AMC)From a bird’s-eye-perspective, AMC Entertainment seemingly enjoys top-dog status among movie theater stocks. It’s not so much that the company is fundamentally sound. The cineplex operator business features significant challenges and also suffers from a dependency problem. In other words, companies in the segment don’t fully control their fate.However, it would be foolish not to mention that AMC features a certain pizazz that’s missing from other movie theater stocks. Namely, AMC has attracted an army of meme traders or retail investors that coordinate their efforts via social media platforms on popular equities, typically in an attempt to spark a short squeeze.Indeed, AMC was on life support during the initial onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic, unable to generate revenue amid government restrictions on personal mobility. However, the influx of cash that meme traders delivered to embattled organizations like AMC meant that the cineplex operator could build up its balance sheet.As of the second quarter of this year, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $965 million. To put this into context, on December 31, 2020, AMC had only $308 million in cash.Still, investors will want to be cautious about overdoing it with AMC stock. Primarily, the balance sheet itself is in deficit to the tune of $2.33 billion. Therefore, it’s possible that should any other shocks impacting movie theater stocks materialize, management may be forced to induce dilutive actions.Is AMC Stock a Buy, According to Analysts?Turning to Wall Street, AMC stock has a Moderate Sell consensus rating based on two Holds and three Sells assigned in the past three months. The average AMC stock price target is $5.53, implying 44.2% downside potential.Cinemark (NYSE: CNK)Hardly as exciting as its counterpart, Cinemark is the quiet kid of movie theater stocks. While it still brings home the bacon, the scale isn’t up to par with AMC Entertainment. For instance, in Q2 2022, Cinemark posted revenue of $744 million, representing year-over-year growth of 152%.On the other hand, during the same period, AMC posted top-line sales of $1.17 billion in Q2 2022, up 162% year-over-year. Therefore, with a bigger footprint and far larger social cachet thanks to the meme-stock phenomenon, AMC would seem to be the clear winner among movie theater stocks.However, the key difference comes down to implied forward stability. While AMC has more cash (Cinemark has $695 million in cash and equivalents in the most recent quarter), the latter’s total stockholder equity is in positive territory, to the tune of $208 million.To be upfront, from a retained earnings perspective, neither one of the movie theater stocks looks appealing. However, Cinemark has a more manageable loss, at $537 million. In sharp contrast, AMC’s retained earnings loss sits at a staggering $7 billion.Is CNK Stock a Buy, According to Analysts?Turning to Wall Street, CNK stock has a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on four Buys and three Holds assigned in the past three months. The average Cinemark price target is $21.43, implying 53.8% upside potential.Conclusion: CNK is More Stable Than AMCFor the speculative investor, AMC stock may be attractive because of its potential to do wild things. Honestly, predicting meme trades is incredibly difficult, and one never knows when the bullish momentum will eventually collapse. On the other hand, CNK stock will almost certainly appeal more to conservative investors. With a much more stable balance sheet, Cinemark facilitates greater confidence.Of course, the above narrative is all relative. Again, neither company inspires trust on an absolute basis. Still, if one had to make a choice, risk-averse investors would probably elect CNK.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":397,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":899986737,"gmtCreate":1628152021029,"gmtModify":1703502163497,"author":{"id":"3564741752299779","authorId":"3564741752299779","name":"Johnstar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3564741752299779","authorIdStr":"3564741752299779"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok boss&nbsp;","listText":"Ok boss&nbsp;","text":"Ok boss","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/899986737","repostId":"1184393508","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":355,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":161292639,"gmtCreate":1623927643121,"gmtModify":1703823685638,"author":{"id":"3564741752299779","authorId":"3564741752299779","name":"Johnstar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3564741752299779","authorIdStr":"3564741752299779"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok noted boss&nbsp;","listText":"Ok noted boss&nbsp;","text":"Ok noted boss","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/161292639","repostId":"2143979397","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2143979397","pubTimestamp":1623921600,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2143979397?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-17 17:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"1 Stock to Avoid No Matter What","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2143979397","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"This company faces an uphill climb to turning things around.","content":"<p><b>GameStop</b> (NYSE:GME) has certainly had a wild ride this year.

The number of shares and the price range of the proposed offering are yet to be determined.According to PitchBook data, Coursera’s most recent valuation in the private markets was $2.5 billion. To date, the company has raised $464 million in venture capital, most recently,$130 million in a Series F roundlast July. Coursera’s biggest institutional shareholders are New Enterprise Associates (18.3% of company stock), G Squared (15.9%) and Kleiner Perkins (9.2%).</p><p><b>Operating Results</b></p><p>The company earned $293 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, up 59% from 2019. Net losses widened by about $20 million year-on-year, reaching $66.8 million in 2020. Revenues shot up as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic’s effect on traditional education. In tandem with rising demand, operating costs associated with the company’s services rose, largely driven by the freemium content and marketing expenses. Coursera added over 12,000 new degree learners across the two years ended December 31, 2020 at an average acquisition cost of just below $2,000. The number of registered users rose by 65% year-on-year in 2020. Coursera’s accumulated deficit since its founding stood at $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The company does not expect to turn a profit in the foreseeable future.</p><p>The company’sCoursera for Campus,launched in late 2019to enable colleges to offer its library of MOOCs to their students, has been a key driver of recent revenue growth. At the start of the pandemic, Coursera made the program free to tertiary institutions until Sept. 30, 2020. Over 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world signed up for the program, which, according to the company’s S-1 filing, makes it, “one of our fastest growing offerings”. As of December 31, 2020, over 130 tertiary institutions were paying for it.</p><p>At this point, it is hard to predict what the end of the pandemic would have on the company’s operating results.</p><p><b>The Strategy and Market Opportunity</b></p><p>Coursera is one of the most disruptive firms in the world. It has a flywheel approach to value creation, with significant price-to-cost advantages versus its competition. The company reported that about half of its new degree students in 2020 had been previously registered with Coursera and that its average student acquisition cost was less than $2,000. Its average student acquisition cost is lower than the industry standard. The edu-tech platform is able to efficiently acquire learners at scale because of the huge number of free, high-quality courses that it offers in partnership with top educational institutions and corporations; its ability to personalize content based on its wealth of data; the strength of word-of-mouth promotion by learners; the profitability of its affiliate paid marketing channel.</p><p>The platform offers a number of education tracks, for example:</p><ul><li>Specializations: A learner can pay between $39 and $99 a month for job-specific content across over 500 categories.</li><li>MasterTrack Certificates: For a quarter to a year, a learner can earn a certificate issued by a university-issued certificate. Prices range from $2,000 to $6,000.</li><li>Bachelor’s or Master’s Degrees: Fees range from $9,000 to $45,000.</li><li>Coursera for Enterprise: Through this platform, businesses, educational institutions and governments can deploy content to their learners.</li></ul><p>In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Coursera partnered with over 330 government agencies across 30 U.S. states and cities and 70 countries as part of itsCoursera Workforce Recovery Initiative, which gave governments the chance to offer unemployed workers free access to thousands of business, data science, and technology courses from companies such as Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL).</p><p>The company has 77 million registered learners, as well as over 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies who paid for its enterprise offerings. The majority of its revenue (51%) was earned outside of the United States. Converting only a fraction of its 77 million registered users into paid users would change the economics of customer acquisition. The company’s present scale is a huge competitive advantage in the market.</p><p>A learner’s curriculum is designed to be “stackable”, which is to say that a learner can go through a domain in an incremental fashion. The company is able to leverage the huge volume of data it has accumulated from its over 220 million enrollments to personalize content. So, for example, Coursera’s Skills Graphs can suggest paths for job skills.</p><p>Coursera uses technology to drive down distribution costs, make content more affordable, extend access to less economically-endowed regions, help learners keep abreast of emerging skills, and grow its market opportunity. The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated secular trends towards the use of technology in education.</p><p>The size of the addressable market is massive and it’s easy to see why.An August 2020 study by the United Nationsdemonstrates the degree of disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic: of the 1.6 billion students in 190 countries covered in the report, or 94% of the world’s students, were prevented from going to school because of Covid-19 pandemic related school closures.</p><p>In 2017, the World Bank indicated thatof the 200 million college students in the world, many do not have job-specific skills.</p><p>The Covid-19 pandemic and prior secular trends suggest that the future of education is in blended classrooms, job-specific education and continuous, lifelong education. Online learning platforms like Coursera will be the primary means through which educational content is delivered.</p><p>Globally, spending on higher education in 2019 was $2.2 trillion,according to HolonIQ. Spending on online degrees was $36 billion and is predicted to reach $74 billion by 2025.</p><p>With a huge, existing learner base; a strong brand; and the significant advantages detailed above, Coursera is likely to grab a significant amount of the market’s growth. Of thescenarios for the future of education, it seems that Coursera will continue to grow.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>Coursera seems poised to meet the challenges of a changing education landscape. With its vast, existing user base, its flywheel model, its competitive advantages, and its existence in a huge and growing addressable market, the company is likely to do very well. The company’s value proposition is compelling. However, long run success does not equate to a good investment in the short run. An unprofitable company like Coursera is likely to be very volatile on the markets until it reaches profitability. It is better to wait for Coursera to turn a profit before investing in the company.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Coursera: The Education Disruptor Goes Public</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nCoursera: The Education Disruptor Goes Public\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-30 17:01 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4413745-coursera-education-disruptor-goes-public><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryThe company is growing rapidly as a result of secular trends as well as the Covid-19 pandemic.It is operating in a huge addressable market that is likely to grow for the foreseeable future....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4413745-coursera-education-disruptor-goes-public\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cedd6cbf23bbe97eaec389fb0773ed6","relate_stocks":{"COUR":"Coursera, Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4413745-coursera-education-disruptor-goes-public","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1163996400","content_text":"SummaryThe company is growing rapidly as a result of secular trends as well as the Covid-19 pandemic.It is operating in a huge addressable market that is likely to grow for the foreseeable future.Coursera enjoys many competitive advantages, among them a large, existing user base, price-to-cost advantages, and the ability to personalize content as a result of its trove of data.Given its scale, and competitive advantages, the company should win an outsized share of its market opportunity.However, because the company has not turned a profit, there is a chance that its stock may be too volatile in the near term.

As of December 31, 2020, over 130 tertiary institutions were paying for it.At this point, it is hard to predict what the end of the pandemic would have on the company’s operating results.The Strategy and Market OpportunityCoursera is one of the most disruptive firms in the world. It has a flywheel approach to value creation, with significant price-to-cost advantages versus its competition. The company reported that about half of its new degree students in 2020 had been previously registered with Coursera and that its average student acquisition cost was less than $2,000. Its average student acquisition cost is lower than the industry standard. The edu-tech platform is able to efficiently acquire learners at scale because of the huge number of free, high-quality courses that it offers in partnership with top educational institutions and corporations; its ability to personalize content based on its wealth of data; the strength of word-of-mouth promotion by learners; the profitability of its affiliate paid marketing channel.The platform offers a number of education tracks, for example:Specializations: A learner can pay between $39 and $99 a month for job-specific content across over 500 categories.MasterTrack Certificates: For a quarter to a year, a learner can earn a certificate issued by a university-issued certificate. Prices range from $2,000 to $6,000.Bachelor’s or Master’s Degrees: Fees range from $9,000 to $45,000.Coursera for Enterprise: Through this platform, businesses, educational institutions and governments can deploy content to their learners.In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Coursera partnered with over 330 government agencies across 30 U.S. states and cities and 70 countries as part of itsCoursera Workforce Recovery Initiative, which gave governments the chance to offer unemployed workers free access to thousands of business, data science, and technology courses from companies such as Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL).The company has 77 million registered learners, as well as over 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies who paid for its enterprise offerings. The majority of its revenue (51%) was earned outside of the United States. Converting only a fraction of its 77 million registered users into paid users would change the economics of customer acquisition. The company’s present scale is a huge competitive advantage in the market.A learner’s curriculum is designed to be “stackable”, which is to say that a learner can go through a domain in an incremental fashion. The company is able to leverage the huge volume of data it has accumulated from its over 220 million enrollments to personalize content. So, for example, Coursera’s Skills Graphs can suggest paths for job skills.Coursera uses technology to drive down distribution costs, make content more affordable, extend access to less economically-endowed regions, help learners keep abreast of emerging skills, and grow its market opportunity. The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated secular trends towards the use of technology in education.The size of the addressable market is massive and it’s easy to see why.An August 2020 study by the United Nationsdemonstrates the degree of disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic: of the 1.6 billion students in 190 countries covered in the report, or 94% of the world’s students, were prevented from going to school because of Covid-19 pandemic related school closures.In 2017, the World Bank indicated thatof the 200 million college students in the world, many do not have job-specific skills.The Covid-19 pandemic and prior secular trends suggest that the future of education is in blended classrooms, job-specific education and continuous, lifelong education. Online learning platforms like Coursera will be the primary means through which educational content is delivered.Globally, spending on higher education in 2019 was $2.2 trillion,according to HolonIQ. Spending on online degrees was $36 billion and is predicted to reach $74 billion by 2025.With a huge, existing learner base; a strong brand; and the significant advantages detailed above, Coursera is likely to grab a significant amount of the market’s growth. Of thescenarios for the future of education, it seems that Coursera will continue to grow.ConclusionCoursera seems poised to meet the challenges of a changing education landscape. With its vast, existing user base, its flywheel model, its competitive advantages, and its existence in a huge and growing addressable market, the company is likely to do very well. The company’s value proposition is compelling. However, long run success does not equate to a good investment in the short run. An unprofitable company like Coursera is likely to be very volatile on the markets until it reaches profitability. It is better to wait for Coursera to turn a profit before investing in the company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":253,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":328943223,"gmtCreate":1615482305462,"gmtModify":1704783526938,"author":{"id":"3564741752299779","authorId":"3564741752299779","name":"Johnstar","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3564741752299779","authorIdStr":"3564741752299779"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow Zai&nbsp;","listText":"Wow Zai&nbsp;","text":"Wow Zai","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/328943223","repostId":"1119544264","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1119544264","pubTimestamp":1615476407,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1119544264?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-11 23:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Warren Buffett is now worth $100 billion","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1119544264","media":"CNN Business","summary":"New York/Hong Kong  - Warren Buffett has just joined the world's most exclusive club of the mega rich.The legendary American investor was worth $100 billion on Thursday, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire's Index.
