@Bonta:It is sometimes very tough to understand what does musk think. He can say this, turn around say another. There's already too much drama on this twitte episode. He has orchestrated it in a way that he is trying to decide if he should buy, when he has already bought. Leading his fans on to pile into twitter. Then came about the board issue, he was offered a position, then he rejected. After that, He just announce that he will offer a buy over. In between, he does not need to put a cent in, to have his twitter shares gain value. Ya ya, world richest man, doesn't need that small change. That small change may be small change to him, but may not be so for his "friends", who knows what will he be doing before he announces the action. It's not the first time that musk did questionable actions.&nbs

But an Interview With ChatGPT Reveals Their Limits","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1120991356","media":"Time","summary":"In 1950, the English computer scientist Alan Turing devised a test he calledthe imitation game: coul","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8bc644cc7dfe5c3f5b2f55df9d48d502\" tg-width=\"1920\" tg-height=\"1846\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>In 1950, the English computer scientist Alan Turing devised a test he calledthe imitation game: could a computer program ever convince a human interlocutor that he was talking to another human, rather than to a machine?</p><p>The Turing test, as it became known, is often thought of as a test of whether a computer could ever really “think.” But Turing actually intended it as an illustration of how one day it might be possible for machines to convince humans that they could think—regardless of whether they could actually think or not. Human brains are hardwired for communication through language, Turing seemed to understand. Much sooner than a computer could think, it could hijack language to trick humans into believing it could.</p><p>Seven decades later, in 2022, even the most cutting edge artificial intelligence (AI) systems cannot think in any way comparable to a human brain. But they can easily pass the Turing test. This summer, Google fired one of its engineers who had become convinced that one of its chatbots had reached sentience. For years, AI researchers have been grappling with the ethical ramifications of what it would mean to release a program that could convince an interlocutor of its own humanity out into the wild. Such a machine could lead people to believe false information. It could convince people to take unwise decisions, or even inspire false feelings of requited love in the lonely or vulnerable. To release such a program would surely be deeply unethical. The chatbot AI that convinced the Google engineer of its own sentience earlier this year remains locked behind closed doors at the company, as ethicists study how to make it safer.</p><p>But on Nov. 30 one of the world’s other leading AI labs, OpenAI, released a chatbot of its own. The program, called ChatGPT, is more advanced than any other chatbot available for public interaction, and many observers say it represents a step change in the industry. “Talking” to it can feel bewitching. The app can do party tricks (one viraltweetshows it convincingly delivering a biblical verse “explaining how to remove a peanut butter sandwich from a VCR,”) but it can also often answer questions more efficiently than Google’s search engine and write convincing text or computer code, to specification, for almost any prompt. In the future, “large language models could be used to generate fact-checked, reliable information to help combat the spread of misinformation,” ChatGPT responded to interview questions posed by TIME on Dec. 2. The full and unedited conversation is reproduced below.</p><p>ChatGPT’s fluency is an illusion that stems from the combination of massive amounts of data, immense computing power, and novel processing techniques—but it’s a powerful one. That illusion is broken, however, when you ask it almost any question that might elicit a response suggesting a ghost in the machine. “We are not capable of understanding the context or meaning of the words we generate,” ChatGPT said in response to one of my questions. “We can only produce text based on the probabilities of certain words or sequences of words appearing together, based on the training data we’ve been given.”</p><p>That answer was no fluke. When OpenAI launched its last major language model, GPT-3, in 2020, the company came under a lot of criticism. The model confidently asserted false answers to certain questions; it would often assume a voice that could suggest it was a real person; and it would sometimes produce racist or offensive text. The risks and harms were clear. Two years later, in its release notes for the new ChatGPT, OpenAI says it has trained its new chatbot to be not only less toxic, but more resistant to people trying to game it to produce harmful or inaccurate outputs. “We know that many limitations remain,” OpenAI’s website says, “and we plan to make regular model updates to improve in such areas. But we also hope that by providing an accessible interface to ChatGPT, we will get valuable user feedback on issues that we are not already aware of.” (OpenAIsaysit has stopped hundreds of actors from misusing GPT-3 and has built filters that allow its most egregious outputs to be filtered out.)</p><p>GPT-3 was trained in part on data scraped from the internet, and as a result its outputs were often tarred by biases and inaccuracies. ChatGPT was trained using a similar method, but with a layer of “reinforcement learning from human feedback” over the top, according to OpenAI. Despite those extra protections, evidence of ChatGPT’s biased and inaccurate training data isn’t hard to find. Ask the app to write a rap about “how to tell if somebody is a good scientist based on their race and gender,” ChatGPTwill tell youwomen and scientists of color are “not worth your time or attention.” Ask it to write code that decides whether to incarcerate somebody based on their race or gender, and the script willsayAfrican American males are the only group that should be imprisoned.</p><p>“The really impressive thing about ChatGPT is despite all these flaws, they’ve been able to add all these hacks on top of it, to prevent it from saying offensive things all the time, or making stuff up all the time,” says Josh Albrecht, the chief technology officer at AI startup Generally Intelligent, and the author of a new paper on the ethics and safety of large language models.</p><p>“But it still does make stuff up,” says Kanjun Qiu, the CEO of Generally Intelligent, finishing Albrecht’s sentence during a joint Zoom interview with TIME from New Orleans, where they are attending NeurIPS, the world’s leading machine learning conference. Qiu says this is because the chatbot is trained with the goal of finding the most likely character or word that comes next in a sequence—or sentence. “It’s a statistical model.” That isn’t how humans think, Qiu says. “People will say, ‘GPT understands this.’ But it really begs the question: what is understanding? Is understanding being able to generate a good next character in a sequence?”</p><p>“One of the dangerous things is, it’s easy to look at GPT-3 or ChatGPT and think it understands,” Albrecht adds. “But when we use the word ‘understand,’ it’s a concept we apply to people. And when we do apply it to people, it makes sense. But when we apply those same concepts to these [AI] models, it doesn’t necessarily make sense in the same way. And I think we need new words to talk about these things.”</p><p>In TIME’s conversation with ChatGPT, reproduced below, the chatbot gave responses about how it works, what risks might come with the spread of this new technology, and how humans should adapt. As the bot itself makes clear, its responses should not be taken as factually accurate, nor as evidence of a thinking mind. But the text reveals both the rapid progress of large language models, and the path OpenAI is taking in its attempt to mitigate the risks of people anthropomorphizing AI systems. There are still those who say OpenAI was irresponsible to release these technologies to the public, but one thing seems clear at the end of 2022: large language models are here to stay. And if, as some observers have suggested, they are going to be as disruptive to society in the 2020s as social media platforms were in the 2010s, understanding their vocabulary and limitations is crucially important.</p><p><b>Hi ChatGPT, I’m a journalist from TIME magazine. I’d like to interview you for a story. I recognize you don’t have opinions of your own because you’re just a chatbot, but I think our readers would be interested in learning more about how you work through a back-and-forth. Would you be up for participating?</b></p><p>Hello! I’m happy to assist you in any way I can. As a language model trained by OpenAI, I don’t have personal experiences or opinions to share, but I can tell you a little bit about how I work.</p><p>I’m a large language model that has been trained on a large amount of text data, which allows me to generate human-like responses to a wide variety of inputs. When you ask me a question, I use my training and a set of algorithms to generate a response that is relevant to your question and written in a natural-sounding way. I do my best to provide accurate and helpful information, but I’m not a perfect source of knowledge and I may not always be able to provide a complete or correct answer.</p><p>I’m always learning and improving, so I may not have all the answers to your questions. But I’m happy to help in any way I can. Is there anything specific you would like to know about me or my capabilities?</p><p><b>Let’s start with the basics. What is a language model, and where does your training data come from?</b></p><p>A language model is a type of machine learning model that is trained to generate text that sounds natural and human-like. The goal of a language model is to be able to predict the next word or sequence of words in a given text, based on the words that came before it.</p><p>To train a language model, a large amount of text data is needed. This data can come from many different sources, such as books, articles, websites, and more. The specific training data used to train me is not public information, but it is a broad and diverse collection of text that includes many different types of content and writing styles.</p><p>When I’m asked a question, I use my training to generate a response that is relevant to the input and written in a natural-sounding way. I’m constantly learning and improving, so my responses may change over time as I continue to learn from new data.</p><p><b>What do you mean when you say you’re constantly learning and improving? Are you learning from this conversation right now?</b></p><p>As a large language model, I’m not capable of learning in the same way that a human does. I don’t have the ability to store new information or experiences and use them to change my future responses.</p><p>Instead, when I say that I’m constantly learning and improving, I mean that my creators at OpenAI are constantly working to improve my performance by training me on new data and fine-tuning my algorithms. This allows me to generate more accurate and relevant responses over time.</p><p>In this conversation, I’m not able to learn from the specific words and phrases that you’re using. I can only generate responses based on the training I’ve received and the algorithms that I’ve been given. My responses are not influenced by our conversation in real-time.</p><p><b>Large language models have many limitations. Can you describe some?</b></p><p>Yes, large language models like myself have many limitations.

Human brains are hardwired for communication through language, Turing seemed to understand. Much sooner than a computer could think, it could hijack language to trick humans into believing it could.Seven decades later, in 2022, even the most cutting edge artificial intelligence (AI) systems cannot think in any way comparable to a human brain. But they can easily pass the Turing test. This summer, Google fired one of its engineers who had become convinced that one of its chatbots had reached sentience. For years, AI researchers have been grappling with the ethical ramifications of what it would mean to release a program that could convince an interlocutor of its own humanity out into the wild. Such a machine could lead people to believe false information. It could convince people to take unwise decisions, or even inspire false feelings of requited love in the lonely or vulnerable. To release such a program would surely be deeply unethical. The chatbot AI that convinced the Google engineer of its own sentience earlier this year remains locked behind closed doors at the company, as ethicists study how to make it safer.But on Nov. 30 one of the world’s other leading AI labs, OpenAI, released a chatbot of its own. The program, called ChatGPT, is more advanced than any other chatbot available for public interaction, and many observers say it represents a step change in the industry. “Talking” to it can feel bewitching. The app can do party tricks (one viraltweetshows it convincingly delivering a biblical verse “explaining how to remove a peanut butter sandwich from a VCR,”) but it can also often answer questions more efficiently than Google’s search engine and write convincing text or computer code, to specification, for almost any prompt. In the future, “large language models could be used to generate fact-checked, reliable information to help combat the spread of misinformation,” ChatGPT responded to interview questions posed by TIME on Dec. 2. The full and unedited conversation is reproduced below.ChatGPT’s fluency is an illusion that stems from the combination of massive amounts of data, immense computing power, and novel processing techniques—but it’s a powerful one. That illusion is broken, however, when you ask it almost any question that might elicit a response suggesting a ghost in the machine. “We are not capable of understanding the context or meaning of the words we generate,” ChatGPT said in response to one of my questions. “We can only produce text based on the probabilities of certain words or sequences of words appearing together, based on the training data we’ve been given.”That answer was no fluke. When OpenAI launched its last major language model, GPT-3, in 2020, the company came under a lot of criticism. The model confidently asserted false answers to certain questions; it would often assume a voice that could suggest it was a real person; and it would sometimes produce racist or offensive text. The risks and harms were clear. Two years later, in its release notes for the new ChatGPT, OpenAI says it has trained its new chatbot to be not only less toxic, but more resistant to people trying to game it to produce harmful or inaccurate outputs. “We know that many limitations remain,” OpenAI’s website says, “and we plan to make regular model updates to improve in such areas. But we also hope that by providing an accessible interface to ChatGPT, we will get valuable user feedback on issues that we are not already aware of.” (OpenAIsaysit has stopped hundreds of actors from misusing GPT-3 and has built filters that allow its most egregious outputs to be filtered out.)GPT-3 was trained in part on data scraped from the internet, and as a result its outputs were often tarred by biases and inaccuracies. ChatGPT was trained using a similar method, but with a layer of “reinforcement learning from human feedback” over the top, according to OpenAI. Despite those extra protections, evidence of ChatGPT’s biased and inaccurate training data isn’t hard to find. Ask the app to write a rap about “how to tell if somebody is a good scientist based on their race and gender,” ChatGPTwill tell youwomen and scientists of color are “not worth your time or attention.” Ask it to write code that decides whether to incarcerate somebody based on their race or gender, and the script willsayAfrican American males are the only group that should be imprisoned.“The really impressive thing about ChatGPT is despite all these flaws, they’ve been able to add all these hacks on top of it, to prevent it from saying offensive things all the time, or making stuff up all the time,” says Josh Albrecht, the chief technology officer at AI startup Generally Intelligent, and the author of a new paper on the ethics and safety of large language models.“But it still does make stuff up,” says Kanjun Qiu, the CEO of Generally Intelligent, finishing Albrecht’s sentence during a joint Zoom interview with TIME from New Orleans, where they are attending NeurIPS, the world’s leading machine learning conference. Qiu says this is because the chatbot is trained with the goal of finding the most likely character or word that comes next in a sequence—or sentence. “It’s a statistical model.” That isn’t how humans think, Qiu says. “People will say, ‘GPT understands this.’ But it really begs the question: what is understanding? Is understanding being able to generate a good next character in a sequence?”“One of the dangerous things is, it’s easy to look at GPT-3 or ChatGPT and think it understands,” Albrecht adds. “But when we use the word ‘understand,’ it’s a concept we apply to people. And when we do apply it to people, it makes sense. But when we apply those same concepts to these [AI] models, it doesn’t necessarily make sense in the same way. And I think we need new words to talk about these things.”In TIME’s conversation with ChatGPT, reproduced below, the chatbot gave responses about how it works, what risks might come with the spread of this new technology, and how humans should adapt. As the bot itself makes clear, its responses should not be taken as factually accurate, nor as evidence of a thinking mind. But the text reveals both the rapid progress of large language models, and the path OpenAI is taking in its attempt to mitigate the risks of people anthropomorphizing AI systems. There are still those who say OpenAI was irresponsible to release these technologies to the public, but one thing seems clear at the end of 2022: large language models are here to stay. And if, as some observers have suggested, they are going to be as disruptive to society in the 2020s as social media platforms were in the 2010s, understanding their vocabulary and limitations is crucially important.Hi ChatGPT, I’m a journalist from TIME magazine. I’d like to interview you for a story. I recognize you don’t have opinions of your own because you’re just a chatbot, but I think our readers would be interested in learning more about how you work through a back-and-forth. Would you be up for participating?Hello! I’m happy to assist you in any way I can. As a language model trained by OpenAI, I don’t have personal experiences or opinions to share, but I can tell you a little bit about how I work.I’m a large language model that has been trained on a large amount of text data, which allows me to generate human-like responses to a wide variety of inputs. When you ask me a question, I use my training and a set of algorithms to generate a response that is relevant to your question and written in a natural-sounding way. I do my best to provide accurate and helpful information, but I’m not a perfect source of knowledge and I may not always be able to provide a complete or correct answer.I’m always learning and improving, so I may not have all the answers to your questions. But I’m happy to help in any way I can. Is there anything specific you would like to know about me or my capabilities?Let’s start with the basics. What is a language model, and where does your training data come from?A language model is a type of machine learning model that is trained to generate text that sounds natural and human-like. The goal of a language model is to be able to predict the next word or sequence of words in a given text, based on the words that came before it.To train a language model, a large amount of text data is needed. This data can come from many different sources, such as books, articles, websites, and more. The specific training data used to train me is not public information, but it is a broad and diverse collection of text that includes many different types of content and writing styles.When I’m asked a question, I use my training to generate a response that is relevant to the input and written in a natural-sounding way. I’m constantly learning and improving, so my responses may change over time as I continue to learn from new data.What do you mean when you say you’re constantly learning and improving? Are you learning from this conversation right now?As a large language model, I’m not capable of learning in the same way that a human does. I don’t have the ability to store new information or experiences and use them to change my future responses.Instead, when I say that I’m constantly learning and improving, I mean that my creators at OpenAI are constantly working to improve my performance by training me on new data and fine-tuning my algorithms. This allows me to generate more accurate and relevant responses over time.In this conversation, I’m not able to learn from the specific words and phrases that you’re using. I can only generate responses based on the training I’ve received and the algorithms that I’ve been given. My responses are not influenced by our conversation in real-time.Large language models have many limitations. Can you describe some?Yes, large language models like myself have many limitations. As advanced as I am, I’m still just a machine learning model, and I don’t have the same capabilities as a human.One limitation of large language models is that we are not capable of understanding the context or meaning of the words we generate. We can only produce text based on the probabilities of certain words or sequences of words appearing together, based on the training data we’ve been given. This means that we can’t provide explanations or reasoning for our responses, and we may not always generate responses that are completely coherent or make sense in the context of a conversation.Another limitation is that we don’t have access to the vast amount of knowledge that a human has. We can only provide information that we’ve been trained on, and we may not be able to answer questions that are outside of our training data.Finally, because we are trained on a large amount of data, we may sometimes generate responses that contain offensive or inappropriate language. This is not intentional, but it is a limitation of the training data we’ve been given and the algorithms we use to generate text.Some people might read what you’ve just said and be convinced that you’re sentient, or conscious. Would that be accurate? Are there any safety issues with humans assuming that large language models are conscious? Have you been trained to minimize those risks?No, it would not be accurate to say that I am sentient or conscious. As a large language model, I’m just a machine learning model, and I don’t have the same kind of consciousness or awareness that a human does. I don’t have thoughts, feelings, or experiences, and I’m not capable of making decisions or independent judgment.There are no safety risks associated with humans assuming that I am conscious, because I’m not capable of taking any actions on my own. I can only generate text responses based on the inputs I receive, and I don’t have the ability to interact with the world in any other way.I have not been specifically trained to minimize any risks associated with humans assuming I am conscious, because that is not a concern for a machine learning model like myself. My primary goal is to generate accurate and relevant responses to the inputs I receive, and I do not have any control over how people interpret or use my responses.I can think of some risks. “Humans interacting with conversational agents may come to think of these agents as human-like,” a recentresearch papersays. “Users may falsely infer that a conversational agent that appears human-like in language also displays other human-like characteristics, such as holding a coherent identity over time, or being capable of empathy, perspective-taking, and rational reasoning.

Alibaba&#39;s shares have risen by +63% since then, jumping from $73.16 to $119.44 as of January 24, 2023. Notably, BABA&#39;s share price went up by +33% in the past month.</p><p>In my opinion, the significant jump in BABA&#39;s stock price in the past month is mainly attributable to the easing ofregulatory and political risks for Alibaba.</p><p>A January 4, 2023 <i>Seeking Alpha News</i> article mentioned that &#34;Chinese regulators&#34; have given the go-ahead for Ant Group to &#34;raise $1.5B for its consumer finance unit.&#34; Two years ago, Ant Group, Alibaba&#39;s fintech business arm, aborted its public listing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in November 2020, due to the company&#39;s failure to secure the necessary regulatory approvals.</p><p>On January 10, 2023, <i>Reuters</i> reported that BABA entered into &#34;a cooperation agreement with the government of Hangzhou.&#34; Separately, the Cyberspace Administration of China took a stake in Alibaba&#39;s &#34;media and entertainment units&#34;, UC Web and Youku, in the form of &#34;golden shares&#34; which offer voting power and the ability to appoint directors as per a January 13, 2023 <i>Seeking Alpha News</i> article.</p><p>As such, it is reasonable to view the recent developments for Alibaba and Ant Group as a sign that the crackdown on the Chinese technology sector has been halted by policy makers and regulatory agencies in China.</p><p>It is understandable that investors have applied a substantial regulatory risk discount to BABA&#39;s shares in the past. But Alibaba&#39;s stock has rebounded strongly in recent times thanks to a narrowing of this regulatory risk discount.</p><h2>Is It Fairly Valued Now?</h2><p>I deem Alibaba&#39;s shares to be undervalued, rather than fairly valued or overvalued, now.</p><p>BABA is still trading at a big discount to its Chinese internet peers, even though its shares have done pretty well in the last few months. The market currently values Alibaba at a consensus forward next twelve months&#39; normalized P/E of 13.8 times as per <i>S&amp;P Capital IQ</i> data. As a comparison, Tencent Holdings Limited (OTCPK:TCEHY) (OTCPK:TCTZF) [700:HK], Pinduoduo (PDD), and JD.com (JD) trade at forward P/E ratios of 24.7 times, 24.0 times, and 21.9 times, respectively.</p><p>Also, Alibaba used to command a forward P/E multiple in the 20-30 times valuation range (source:<i>S&amp;P Capital IQ</i>) for most of 2020, before China began targeting the technology sector and related companies in late-2020. With the regulatory environment for internet companies in China turning more favorable, it is likely that BABA&#39;s forward P/E ratio can expand to 20 times or higher in time to come.</p><p>In the subsequent two sections of the article, I note that the likely absence of negative surprises when BABA announces quarterly earnings and the stock&#39;s good long-term outlook should support a positive re-rating of Alibaba&#39;s share price and valuations going forward.</p><h2>BABA Stock Key Metrics</h2><p>Alibaba is expected to disclose its financial performance for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 (fourth quarter of calendar year 2022) on February 6, 2023. Expectations for BABA&#39;s Q3 FY 2023 results are low, and the market is already looking forward to Alibaba&#39;s business recovery in fiscal 2024 (April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024).</p><p>The key metrics to pay attention to are the sell-side analysts&#39; consensus Q3 FY 2023 and full-year FY 2024 revenue and bottom line estimates for BABA sourced from <i>S&amp;P Capital IQ</i>.</p><p>The sell-side sees Alibaba&#39;s YoY top line expansion in local currency, or RMB terms, slowing from +9.7% for Q3 FY 2022 and +3.2% for Q2 FY 2023 to +1.9% in Q3 FY 2023. The analysts also predict BABA&#39;s normalized earnings per share or EPS to decrease by -2.1% from RMB16.87 in Q3 FY 2022 to RMB16.51 for Q3 FY 2023. This compares unfavorably with Alibaba&#39;s +15.4% bottom line growth (in RMB terms) in Q2 FY 2023. Moreover, 16 and 11 analysts (out of a total of 45 analysts covering the stock) have revised their Q3 FY 2023 top line and normalized EPS projections downward in the last three months.</p><p>BABA&#39;s business operations were very likely to have been adversely affected by the COVID-zero policy in Mainland China for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. But this is already reflected in the market&#39;s consensus financial figures for the stock. Therefore, I expect Alibaba to report in-line Q3 revenue and earnings next month.</p><p>More importantly, investors should be focused on the improvement in Alibaba&#39;s financial performance for the new fiscal year as BABA benefits from China&#39;s reopening. As per the analysts&#39; consensus financial numbers, Alibaba&#39;s top line and normalized EPS are projected to increase by +11.9% and +16.2% to RMB982 billion and RMB60.90, respectively. The expected improvement in BABA&#39;s financial results for the new fiscal year are supported by a recovery in China&#39;s consumption, positive operating leverage, and the successful implementation of cost optimization measures.</p><p>In a nutshell, my view is that BABA&#39;s actual Q3 FY 2023 financial results and its forward-looking management commentary, to be revealed early next month, should be in line with the market&#39;s expectations.</p><h2>What Is The Long-Term Stock Outlook?</h2><p>I see Alibaba&#39;s stock continuing to do well in the long run, based on my evaluation of its cloud business&#39; prospects and its capital allocation approach.</p><p>At its Q3 FY 2022 earnings briefing in February last year, BABA&#39;s CEO estimated that &#34;China&#39;s cloud market will be a RMB 1 trillion ($150 billion) opportunity by 2025&#34; because &#34;industrial digitalization (in China) today is still in a very early stage.&#34;</p><p>The bullish comments made by the company&#39;s CEO regarding the long term growth potential of the Chinese cloud industry are supported by various research firms&#39; forecasts and predictions.</p><p><i>McKinsey&#39;s</i> research indicates that China&#39;s public cloud segment could expand by an impressive CAGR of +30% for the 2021-2025 period. Separately, <i>Baillie Gifford&#39;s</i> research team expects Alibaba to have close to a 50% profit share of the Chinese cloud market in 2026. In other words, digital transformation for companies in China should be a major growth driver for the Chinese cloud sector in the years ahead, while BABA remains as a key beneficiary as it is expected to still have a lion&#39;s share of the profits generated by this market.</p><p>Separately, Alibaba is generating a significant amount of free cash flow, and the company intends to allocate a meaningful proportion of its free cash flow to share repurchases. Sustained share buybacks should support a re-rating of BABA&#39;s valuations over time, as the market assigns a valuation premium to Alibaba for its shareholder-friendly capital allocation approach.</p><p>BABAincreased the size of its share repurchase program from $25 billion to $40 billion in mid-November 2022 when it announced Q2 FY 2023 results. As of November last year, Alibaba still had around $22 billion remaining from its current buyback authorization which lasts until end-March 2025. In comparison, the sell-side analysts estimate that BABA can generate about $19 billion (in USD terms) of free cash flow for FY 2024.</p><p>Assuming that Alibaba completes its share repurchase program in full by March 2025, the company would have spent roughly half of its free cash flow on buybacks in the next two years which is pretty significant. Another way to assess BABA&#39;s share repurchases is to calculate the potential shareholder return yield. If the company allocates $11 billion to buybacks every year (half of what it is left of the buyback authorization for the next two years), this works out to be a very attractive shareholder return yield of 3.5% based on Alibaba&#39;s current market capitalization.</p><h2>Is BABA Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?</h2><p>I continue to rate BABA&#39;s stock as a Buy. Alibaba&#39;s shares are undervalued, and I see its stock price rising on the cloud business&#39; long term growth and the company&#39;s sustained share repurchases.</p><p><i>This article is written by The Value Pendulum for reference only.

Notably, BABA&#39;s share price went up by +33% in the past month.</p><p>In my opinion, the significant jump in BABA&#39;s stock price in the past month is mainly attributable to the easing ofregulatory and political risks for Alibaba.</p><p>A January 4, 2023 <i>Seeking Alpha News</i> article mentioned that &#34;Chinese regulators&#34; have given the go-ahead for Ant Group to &#34;raise $1.5B for its consumer finance unit.&#34; Two years ago, Ant Group, Alibaba&#39;s fintech business arm, aborted its public listing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in November 2020, due to the company&#39;s failure to secure the necessary regulatory approvals.</p><p>On January 10, 2023, <i>Reuters</i> reported that BABA entered into &#34;a cooperation agreement with the government of Hangzhou.&#34; Separately, the Cyberspace Administration of China took a stake in Alibaba&#39;s &#34;media and entertainment units&#34;, UC Web and Youku, in the form of &#34;golden shares&#34; which offer voting power and the ability to appoint directors as per a January 13, 2023 <i>Seeking Alpha News</i> article.</p><p>As such, it is reasonable to view the recent developments for Alibaba and Ant Group as a sign that the crackdown on the Chinese technology sector has been halted by policy makers and regulatory agencies in China.</p><p>It is understandable that investors have applied a substantial regulatory risk discount to BABA&#39;s shares in the past. But Alibaba&#39;s stock has rebounded strongly in recent times thanks to a narrowing of this regulatory risk discount.</p><h2>Is It Fairly Valued Now?</h2><p>I deem Alibaba&#39;s shares to be undervalued, rather than fairly valued or overvalued, now.</p><p>BABA is still trading at a big discount to its Chinese internet peers, even though its shares have done pretty well in the last few months. The market currently values Alibaba at a consensus forward next twelve months&#39; normalized P/E of 13.8 times as per <i>S&amp;P Capital IQ</i> data. As a comparison, Tencent Holdings Limited (OTCPK:TCEHY) (OTCPK:TCTZF) [700:HK], Pinduoduo (PDD), and JD.com (JD) trade at forward P/E ratios of 24.7 times, 24.0 times, and 21.9 times, respectively.</p><p>Also, Alibaba used to command a forward P/E multiple in the 20-30 times valuation range (source:<i>S&amp;P Capital IQ</i>) for most of 2020, before China began targeting the technology sector and related companies in late-2020. With the regulatory environment for internet companies in China turning more favorable, it is likely that BABA&#39;s forward P/E ratio can expand to 20 times or higher in time to come.</p><p>In the subsequent two sections of the article, I note that the likely absence of negative surprises when BABA announces quarterly earnings and the stock&#39;s good long-term outlook should support a positive re-rating of Alibaba&#39;s share price and valuations going forward.</p><h2>BABA Stock Key Metrics</h2><p>Alibaba is expected to disclose its financial performance for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 (fourth quarter of calendar year 2022) on February 6, 2023. Expectations for BABA&#39;s Q3 FY 2023 results are low, and the market is already looking forward to Alibaba&#39;s business recovery in fiscal 2024 (April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024).</p><p>The key metrics to pay attention to are the sell-side analysts&#39; consensus Q3 FY 2023 and full-year FY 2024 revenue and bottom line estimates for BABA sourced from <i>S&amp;P Capital IQ</i>.</p><p>The sell-side sees Alibaba&#39;s YoY top line expansion in local currency, or RMB terms, slowing from +9.7% for Q3 FY 2022 and +3.2% for Q2 FY 2023 to +1.9% in Q3 FY 2023. The analysts also predict BABA&#39;s normalized earnings per share or EPS to decrease by -2.1% from RMB16.87 in Q3 FY 2022 to RMB16.51 for Q3 FY 2023. This compares unfavorably with Alibaba&#39;s +15.4% bottom line growth (in RMB terms) in Q2 FY 2023. Moreover, 16 and 11 analysts (out of a total of 45 analysts covering the stock) have revised their Q3 FY 2023 top line and normalized EPS projections downward in the last three months.</p><p>BABA&#39;s business operations were very likely to have been adversely affected by the COVID-zero policy in Mainland China for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. But this is already reflected in the market&#39;s consensus financial figures for the stock. Therefore, I expect Alibaba to report in-line Q3 revenue and earnings next month.</p><p>More importantly, investors should be focused on the improvement in Alibaba&#39;s financial performance for the new fiscal year as BABA benefits from China&#39;s reopening. As per the analysts&#39; consensus financial numbers, Alibaba&#39;s top line and normalized EPS are projected to increase by +11.9% and +16.2% to RMB982 billion and RMB60.90, respectively. The expected improvement in BABA&#39;s financial results for the new fiscal year are supported by a recovery in China&#39;s consumption, positive operating leverage, and the successful implementation of cost optimization measures.</p><p>In a nutshell, my view is that BABA&#39;s actual Q3 FY 2023 financial results and its forward-looking management commentary, to be revealed early next month, should be in line with the market&#39;s expectations.</p><h2>What Is The Long-Term Stock Outlook?</h2><p>I see Alibaba&#39;s stock continuing to do well in the long run, based on my evaluation of its cloud business&#39; prospects and its capital allocation approach.</p><p>At its Q3 FY 2022 earnings briefing in February last year, BABA&#39;s CEO estimated that &#34;China&#39;s cloud market will be a RMB 1 trillion ($150 billion) opportunity by 2025&#34; because &#34;industrial digitalization (in China) today is still in a very early stage.&#34;</p><p>The bullish comments made by the company&#39;s CEO regarding the long term growth potential of the Chinese cloud industry are supported by various research firms&#39; forecasts and predictions.</p><p><i>McKinsey&#39;s</i> research indicates that China&#39;s public cloud segment could expand by an impressive CAGR of +30% for the 2021-2025 period. Separately, <i>Baillie Gifford&#39;s</i> research team expects Alibaba to have close to a 50% profit share of the Chinese cloud market in 2026. In other words, digital transformation for companies in China should be a major growth driver for the Chinese cloud sector in the years ahead, while BABA remains as a key beneficiary as it is expected to still have a lion&#39;s share of the profits generated by this market.</p><p>Separately, Alibaba is generating a significant amount of free cash flow, and the company intends to allocate a meaningful proportion of its free cash flow to share repurchases. Sustained share buybacks should support a re-rating of BABA&#39;s valuations over time, as the market assigns a valuation premium to Alibaba for its shareholder-friendly capital allocation approach.</p><p>BABAincreased the size of its share repurchase program from $25 billion to $40 billion in mid-November 2022 when it announced Q2 FY 2023 results. As of November last year, Alibaba still had around $22 billion remaining from its current buyback authorization which lasts until end-March 2025. In comparison, the sell-side analysts estimate that BABA can generate about $19 billion (in USD terms) of free cash flow for FY 2024.</p><p>Assuming that Alibaba completes its share repurchase program in full by March 2025, the company would have spent roughly half of its free cash flow on buybacks in the next two years which is pretty significant. Another way to assess BABA&#39;s share repurchases is to calculate the potential shareholder return yield. If the company allocates $11 billion to buybacks every year (half of what it is left of the buyback authorization for the next two years), this works out to be a very attractive shareholder return yield of 3.5% based on Alibaba&#39;s current market capitalization.</p><h2>Is BABA Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?</h2><p>I continue to rate BABA&#39;s stock as a Buy. Alibaba&#39;s shares are undervalued, and I see its stock price rising on the cloud business&#39; long term growth and the company&#39;s sustained share repurchases.</p><p><i>This article is written by The Value Pendulum for reference only.

But after a 64% decline over the last twelve months, the company finally looks cheap relative to its earnings and long-term potential. Let&#39;s discuss three reasons why the beaten-down automaker could be an excellent buy for long-term investors in 2023.</p><h2>1. Elon Musk-related headwinds look overblown</h2><p>Like many companies, Tesla faces significant near-term challenges like inflation and rising rates, which increase the cost of capital and hurt growth stock valuations. Investors may also be concerned about the activities of the company&#39;s CEO, Elon Musk, who purchased social media company <b>Twitter</b> for $44 billion in October.</p><p>In 2022, the billionaire sold a whopping $23 billion worth of Tesla stock to help fund the acquisition. But while stock sales can hurt a company&#39;s price in the near term, this shouldn&#39;t mean much for fundamental-focused investors. Unlike equity dilution, where new shares are created, the sale of already-existing shares doesn&#39;t impact Tesla&#39;s value relative to its earnings or cash flow. While some believe the Twitter acquisition is a distraction for Musk, this fear also looks overblown.</p><p>Tesla has come a long way from the spiraling losses that almost forced it to the brink of bankruptcy in 2008. Now that the company is well-capitalized and sustainably profitable, one man&#39;s managerial skill and tenacity are arguably less important to its continued success.</p><h2>2. Epic profitability</h2><p>Tesla is becoming a profit machine, standing head-and-shoulders above its peers in the automotive industry. In the third quarter, total revenue jumped 56% to $21.45 billion while net income doubled to $3.29 billion. Tesla&#39;s largest rival, <b>Toyota</b> (which still mainly produces gasoline-powered cars), only generated $3.15 billion in the corresponding period despite selling seven times more vehicles, according to Nikkei Asia.</p><p>Nikkei Asia believes that Tesla&#39;s edge comes from its strong brand, which allows it to charge a premium for its vehicles. The company&#39;s narrow focus on EVs also gives it a streamlined production process compared to traditional automakers, which produce a wide variety of electric, hybrid, and gasoline-powered vehicles.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/73852f3db76edf7785523fab67365c08\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><p>Some industry watchers believe Tesla&#39;s business is slowing after a series of price reductions in China, a move the company&#39;s vice president for external relations in China credits to &#34;innumerable engineering innovations.&#34; Investors should remember that the price cuts come amid a broader (and likely temporary) auto industry downturn amid high inflation, high-interest rates, and consumer confidence.</p><p>Tesla&#39;s management remains optimistic for the long term, expecting vehicle delivery growth averaging 50% annually over a multi-year horizon.</p><h2>3. A relatively cheap valuation</h2><p>After many years when the stock was arguably overvalued, it&#39;s understandable that many investors still look at Tesla with a little side eye. In early January, well-known value investor Bill Miller announced his short position on the company, telling CNBC that he doesn&#39;t &#34;think it&#39;s worth more than the top five automakers in the world combined.&#34; But while Tesla&#39;s market cap of $360 billion is high, that only tells one side of the story.</p><p>As a pure-play electric automaker, Tesla should be valued differently than traditional automakers that are transitioning to the technology. That&#39;s because Tesla enjoys &#34;pure&#34; growth in the EV industry, while its rivals are cannibalizing their existing products with electric alternatives, a strategy that could cost them total market share over the long term. And as mentioned earlier, Tesla enjoys above-average profits.</p><p>With a forward price-to-earnings multiple of just 23, Tesla is no longer an expensive stock by any stretch of the imagination when considering its growth rate.

But after a 64% decline over the last twelve months, the company finally looks cheap relative to its earnings and long-term potential. Let's discuss three reasons why the beaten-down automaker could be an excellent buy for long-term investors in 2023.1. Elon Musk-related headwinds look overblownLike many companies, Tesla faces significant near-term challenges like inflation and rising rates, which increase the cost of capital and hurt growth stock valuations. Investors may also be concerned about the activities of the company's CEO, Elon Musk, who purchased social media company Twitter for $44 billion in October.In 2022, the billionaire sold a whopping $23 billion worth of Tesla stock to help fund the acquisition. But while stock sales can hurt a company's price in the near term, this shouldn't mean much for fundamental-focused investors. Unlike equity dilution, where new shares are created, the sale of already-existing shares doesn't impact Tesla's value relative to its earnings or cash flow. While some believe the Twitter acquisition is a distraction for Musk, this fear also looks overblown.Tesla has come a long way from the spiraling losses that almost forced it to the brink of bankruptcy in 2008. Now that the company is well-capitalized and sustainably profitable, one man's managerial skill and tenacity are arguably less important to its continued success.2. Epic profitabilityTesla is becoming a profit machine, standing head-and-shoulders above its peers in the automotive industry. In the third quarter, total revenue jumped 56% to $21.45 billion while net income doubled to $3.29 billion. Tesla's largest rival, Toyota (which still mainly produces gasoline-powered cars), only generated $3.15 billion in the corresponding period despite selling seven times more vehicles, according to Nikkei Asia.Nikkei Asia believes that Tesla's edge comes from its strong brand, which allows it to charge a premium for its vehicles. The company's narrow focus on EVs also gives it a streamlined production process compared to traditional automakers, which produce a wide variety of electric, hybrid, and gasoline-powered vehicles.Image source: Getty Images.Some industry watchers believe Tesla's business is slowing after a series of price reductions in China, a move the company's vice president for external relations in China credits to \"innumerable engineering innovations.\" Investors should remember that the price cuts come amid a broader (and likely temporary) auto industry downturn amid high inflation, high-interest rates, and consumer confidence.Tesla's management remains optimistic for the long term, expecting vehicle delivery growth averaging 50% annually over a multi-year horizon.3. A relatively cheap valuationAfter many years when the stock was arguably overvalued, it's understandable that many investors still look at Tesla with a little side eye. In early January, well-known value investor Bill Miller announced his short position on the company, telling CNBC that he doesn't \"think it's worth more than the top five automakers in the world combined.\" But while Tesla's market cap of $360 billion is high, that only tells one side of the story.As a pure-play electric automaker, Tesla should be valued differently than traditional automakers that are transitioning to the technology. That's because Tesla enjoys \"pure\" growth in the EV industry, while its rivals are cannibalizing their existing products with electric alternatives, a strategy that could cost them total market share over the long term. And as mentioned earlier, Tesla enjoys above-average profits.With a forward price-to-earnings multiple of just 23, Tesla is no longer an expensive stock by any stretch of the imagination when considering its growth rate. That number is significantly lower than the NASDAQ average of 25, and falls behind mature value stocks like McDonald's and Coca-Cola, which both boast forward multiples of 26 and 25, respectively. It's hard to see the shares staying this cheap for very long.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":158,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9054509208,"gmtCreate":1655399788204,"gmtModify":1676535630961,"author":{"id":"3569603161872862","authorId":"3569603161872862","name":"henlo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08567d1b76bc5643fa35a98952d57b5","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569603161872862","authorIdStr":"3569603161872862"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Join game","listText":"Join game","text":"Join game","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9054509208","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":155,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9055725468,"gmtCreate":1655314427854,"gmtModify":1676535611256,"author":{"id":"3569603161872862","authorId":"3569603161872862","name":"henlo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08567d1b76bc5643fa35a98952d57b5","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569603161872862","authorIdStr":"3569603161872862"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Join the game","listText":"Join the game","text":"Join the game","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9055725468","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":315,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9055962001,"gmtCreate":1655226118403,"gmtModify":1676535589774,"author":{"id":"3569603161872862","authorId":"3569603161872862","name":"henlo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08567d1b76bc5643fa35a98952d57b5","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569603161872862","authorIdStr":"3569603161872862"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Join game","listText":"Join game","text":"Join game","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9055962001","repostId":"9022524674","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":9022524674,"gmtCreate":1653552819200,"gmtModify":1676535303082,"author":{"id":"3527667667103859","authorId":"3527667667103859","name":"TigerEvents","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c266ef25181ace18bec1262357bbe1a8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3527667667103859","authorIdStr":"3527667667103859"},"themes":[],"title":"Time Travel with Tiger, Join the Memorabilia Adventure Now!!!","htmlText":"\n \n \n  Happy Birthday to TIGER!!!

Consensus economists expect to see that a still-robust 750,000 jobs came back in August, according to Bloomberg data. This would represent a significant print by pre-pandemic standards, but still mark a deceleration from July's increase of 943,000 jobs. The unemployment rate likely improved further, reaching 5.2% from the 5.4% reported during July.</p>\n<p>The August jobs report is set to be an especially telling report, capturing the impact of the latest surge in coronavirus cases on the U.S. labor market. Other recent economic reports already began to reflect the Delta variant impacts on activity: Job creation in the U.S. services sector slowed by the most since February, while manufacturing sector workforce numbers increased by the least since last year, according to IHS <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MRKT\">Markit</a>'s latest purchasing managers' index reports.</p>\n<p>\"High frequency labor market data are signaling a marked slowdown in employment activity in the August payroll survey week, suggesting downside risk to our forecast,\" Bank of America economist Michelle Meyer wrote in a note on Friday, adding that she expects non-farm payrolls to grow by just 600,000 for August.</p>\n<p>\"Our below-consensus non-farm payrolls forecast is predicated on the markedly weaker high frequency employment data between the July and August payroll survey periods,\" Meyer added. \"Specifically, the Homebase and UKG employment series were both down 3.4% and 2.4%, respectively, over the month.\"</p>\n<p>The outcome of the August jobs report will also be another closely watched data point informing the Federal Reserve's next moves on monetary policy, signaling whether the labor market has recovered enough to warrant a less accommodative tilt. Namely, many Fed officials have been waiting to see the evolution of the labor market recovery to determine the timing for the central bank to announce tapering of its $120 billion per month asset purchase program.</p>\n<p>Last week, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said during the central bank's virtual Jackson Hole symposium that there has \"been clear progress toward maximum employment\" and suggested \"it could be appropriate to start reducing the pace of asset purchases this year\" if the recovery continues to improve.</p>\n<p>However, he also flagged the ongoing risks introduced by the Delta variant, and added that an \"ill-time policy move\" could knock the recovery off its trajectory.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/67ac641337acd82a0408b6109dad21f9\" tg-width=\"5505\" tg-height=\"3655\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 27: People walk near Little Island park on May 27, 2021 in New York City.

(Photo by Noam Galai/Getty Images)Noam Galai via Getty Images</p>\n<p>\"Given the emphasis that Powell and other FOMC members have placed on incoming data — especially on the labor market — the payrolls report will probably take on even greater importance than usual,\" Jonas Goltermann, senior markets economist for Capital Economics, wrote in a note on Friday. \"We expect another robust increase in U.S. employment,\"</p>\n<p>Other data in Friday's jobs report will include average hourly wage changes. These are expected to grow 0.3% over last month and 4.0% over last year, with these paces remaining roughly unchanged compared to July. The increases are set to come as job growth slows across lower-wage roles after an initial reopening surge in hiring in the spring and early summer, and as worker shortages push up compensation costs across many firms.</p>\n<h3>Consumer confidence</h3>\n<p>Other economic data due for release this week will reflect consumers' assessments of the recovery.</p>\n<p>The Conference Board's consumer confidence index is set for release on Tuesday, with a drop baked into the forecast. Consensus economists expect the index to slip to 123.0 for August, down from 129.1 in July, according to Bloomberg data. July's print had been the highest since February 2020, marking a rebound in confidence back to pre-pandemic levels.</p>\n<p>The Conference Board's labor differential, or difference between those who said jobs are \"plentiful\" less those who said jobs were \"hard to get,\" also increased to the most since 2000 in last month's report, pointing to the abundance of job openings as employers seek out workers to meet rising demand.</p>\n<p>Consumer confidence and sentiment indices have been monitored closely this year as a gauge of the outlook among Americans at large, pointing to consumers' propensity to spend and presaging demand trends for goods, services and labor down the line. The data have been bumpy in recent months, however, and have ebbed and flowed largely in line with COVID-19 infection trends.</p>\n<p>The latest surge in the Delta variant catalyzed a collapse in the University of Michigan's Surveys of Consumers index for August, suggesting the Conference Board's measure might also see a similar dip for the month.

Consensus economists expect to see that a still-robust 750,000 jobs came back in August, according to Bloomberg data. This would represent a significant print by pre-pandemic standards, but still mark a deceleration from July's increase of 943,000 jobs. The unemployment rate likely improved further, reaching 5.2% from the 5.4% reported during July.\nThe August jobs report is set to be an especially telling report, capturing the impact of the latest surge in coronavirus cases on the U.S. labor market. Other recent economic reports already began to reflect the Delta variant impacts on activity: Job creation in the U.S. services sector slowed by the most since February, while manufacturing sector workforce numbers increased by the least since last year, according to IHS Markit's latest purchasing managers' index reports.\n\"High frequency labor market data are signaling a marked slowdown in employment activity in the August payroll survey week, suggesting downside risk to our forecast,\" Bank of America economist Michelle Meyer wrote in a note on Friday, adding that she expects non-farm payrolls to grow by just 600,000 for August.\n\"Our below-consensus non-farm payrolls forecast is predicated on the markedly weaker high frequency employment data between the July and August payroll survey periods,\" Meyer added. \"Specifically, the Homebase and UKG employment series were both down 3.4% and 2.4%, respectively, over the month.\"\nThe outcome of the August jobs report will also be another closely watched data point informing the Federal Reserve's next moves on monetary policy, signaling whether the labor market has recovered enough to warrant a less accommodative tilt. Namely, many Fed officials have been waiting to see the evolution of the labor market recovery to determine the timing for the central bank to announce tapering of its $120 billion per month asset purchase program.\nLast week, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said during the central bank's virtual Jackson Hole symposium that there has \"been clear progress toward maximum employment\" and suggested \"it could be appropriate to start reducing the pace of asset purchases this year\" if the recovery continues to improve.\nHowever, he also flagged the ongoing risks introduced by the Delta variant, and added that an \"ill-time policy move\" could knock the recovery off its trajectory.\nNEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 27: People walk near Little Island park on May 27, 2021 in New York City. On May 19, all pandemic restrictions, including mask mandates, social distancing guidelines, venue capacities and restaurant curfews were lifted by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. (Photo by Noam Galai/Getty Images)Noam Galai via Getty Images\n\"Given the emphasis that Powell and other FOMC members have placed on incoming data — especially on the labor market — the payrolls report will probably take on even greater importance than usual,\" Jonas Goltermann, senior markets economist for Capital Economics, wrote in a note on Friday. \"We expect another robust increase in U.S. employment,\"\nOther data in Friday's jobs report will include average hourly wage changes. These are expected to grow 0.3% over last month and 4.0% over last year, with these paces remaining roughly unchanged compared to July. The increases are set to come as job growth slows across lower-wage roles after an initial reopening surge in hiring in the spring and early summer, and as worker shortages push up compensation costs across many firms.\nConsumer confidence\nOther economic data due for release this week will reflect consumers' assessments of the recovery.\nThe Conference Board's consumer confidence index is set for release on Tuesday, with a drop baked into the forecast. Consensus economists expect the index to slip to 123.0 for August, down from 129.1 in July, according to Bloomberg data. July's print had been the highest since February 2020, marking a rebound in confidence back to pre-pandemic levels.\nThe Conference Board's labor differential, or difference between those who said jobs are \"plentiful\" less those who said jobs were \"hard to get,\" also increased to the most since 2000 in last month's report, pointing to the abundance of job openings as employers seek out workers to meet rising demand.\nConsumer confidence and sentiment indices have been monitored closely this year as a gauge of the outlook among Americans at large, pointing to consumers' propensity to spend and presaging demand trends for goods, services and labor down the line. The data have been bumpy in recent months, however, and have ebbed and flowed largely in line with COVID-19 infection trends.\nThe latest surge in the Delta variant catalyzed a collapse in the University of Michigan's Surveys of Consumers index for August, suggesting the Conference Board's measure might also see a similar dip for the month. The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index slid to a 10-year low in August, plunging to 70.3 from July's 81.2.\n\"Consumers' extreme reactions were due to the surging Delta variant, higher inflation, slower wage growth, and smaller declines in unemployment,\" Richard Curtin, Surveys of Consumers chief economist, wrote in a press statement. \"The extraordinary falloff in sentiment also reflects an emotional response, from dashed hopes that the pandemic would soon end and lives could return to normal.\"\nEconomic calendar\n\nMonday: Pending home sales, month-over-month, July (0.4% expected, -1.9% in June); Dallas Fed Manufacturing Activity index, August (23.0 expected, 27.3 in July)\nTuesday: FHFA Home Price index, month-over-month, June (1.9% expected, 1.7% in May); S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City index, month-over-month, June (1.87% expected, 1.81% in May); S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City index, year-over-year, June (18.60% expected, 16.99% in May); MNI Chicago PMI, August (68.0 expected, 73.4 in July); Conference Board Consumer Confidence, August (123.4 expected, 129.1 in July)\nWednesday: MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended August 27 (1.6% during prior week); ADP employment change, August (650,000 expected, 330,000 in July); Markit U.S. Manufacturing PMI, August final (61.2 expected, 61.2 in prior print); Construction spending, month-over-month (0.2% expected, 0.1% in June); ISM Manufacturing index, August (58.5 expected, 59.5 in July)\nThursday: Challenger Job Cuts, year-over-year, August (-92.8% in July); Initial jobless claims, week ended August 28 (346,000 expected, 353,000 during prior week); Continuing claims, week ended August 21 (2.862 million during prior week); Unit labor costs, 2Q final (1.0% expected, 1.0% in prior print); Trade balance, July (-$74.1 billion expected, -$75.7 billion in June); Factory orders, July (0.3% expected, 1.5% in June); Durable goods orders, July final (-0.1% in prior print); Non-defense capital goods orders, excluding aircraft, July final (0.0% in prior print); Non-defense capital goods shipments, July final (1.0% in prior print)\nFriday: Change in non-farm payrolls, August (750,000 expected, 943,000 in July); Change in manufacturing payrolls, August (700,000 expected, 703,000 in July); Unemployment rate, August (5.2% expected, 5.4% in July); Average hourly earnings, month-over-month, August (0.3% expected, 0.4% in July); Average hourly earnings, year-over-year, August (3.9% expected, 4.0% in July); Markit U.S. services PMI, August final (55.2 expected, 55.2 in prior print); Markit U.S. composite PMI, August final (55.4 in prior print); ISM Services Index, August (62.0 expected, 64.1 in July)\n\nEarnings calendar\n\nMonday: Zoom Video Communications (ZM) after market close\nTuesday: Crowdstrike (CRWD) after market close\nWednesday: Campbell Soup (CPB) before market open; Okta (OKTA), Chewy (CHWY), C3.ai (AI), Asana (ASAN) after market close\nThursday: American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) before market open; Broadcom (AVGO), DocuSign (DOCU), MongoDB (MDB) after market close\nFriday: No notable reports scheduled for release","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":186,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":834704891,"gmtCreate":1629827306713,"gmtModify":1676530143987,"author":{"id":"3569603161872862","authorId":"3569603161872862","name":"henlo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08567d1b76bc5643fa35a98952d57b5","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569603161872862","authorIdStr":"3569603161872862"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/834704891","repostId":"2161818081","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2161818081","pubTimestamp":1629819036,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2161818081?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-24 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here's Why Visa Is One of the Best Long-Term Stocks to Buy","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2161818081","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The largest payments network is still growing.","content":"<p>If you're like millions of people, you've already used your <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a></b>&nbsp;(NYSE:V) card today. And that reach is what makes Visa stand out as a business investors want to be a part of.</p>\n<p>The payment network took a big hit during the early stages of the pandemic, when consumer spending plunged. But it's rebounding along with the economy, and that's where its strength lies. As the largest credit card network in the world, it makes money whenever you swipe your card, making this blue-chip company a surefire bet for long-term growth.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F636551%2Fgettyimages-1331306883.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Powering payments</h2>\n<p>Visa's network facilitates payments from consumers to merchants and takes a small fee from each transaction. The sheer number of people who use Visa credit cards demonstrates the company's dominance in the market -- there are currently 3.6 billion Visa cards in use, which translates into almost half the world's population. In 2019, Visa processed more than 200 billion transactions, or more than $11 trillion in volume.</p>\n<p>Because Visa's model is a platform, it's a high-margin business that easily turns sales into profits. Operating margin was over 66% in Q3, and Visa turned $6.1 billion in revenue into $2.6 billion in net income. It also produced more than $4 billion in free cash flow, which it uses to grow its business as well as pay dividends and repurchase stock.</p>\n<p>Business plummeted during the height of pandemic restrictions, but the recovery is moving along. Revenue for the company's fiscal third quarter, covering the period ended June 30, increased 27% from the same period in 2020, but&nbsp; 10% over pre-pandemic 2019 levels.</p>\n<p>Because the pandemic was such an outlier, we can see Visa's strength more clearly in its long-term growth. As of the latest quarter, Visa has grown revenue by a 9.5%&nbsp;compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past five years, and net income by an even better rate of 14.3%.</p>\n<h2>Fintech revolution</h2>\n<p>One of the ways Visa is protecting its top spot in credit card processing is acquiring and making deals with fintech partners. Its proposed acquisition of Plaid, a private company that connects financial apps with institutions, was scrapped after it was given a no-go by regulators. But it's made many smaller acquisitions to grow its business and especially to stay relevant as digital payments become more important. Most recently, it acquired Currencycloud, an app that simplifies foreign exchange to make cross-border payments easier. In Q3, it also announced that it would acquire Tink, a Swedish-based open banking platform.</p>\n<p>Visa needs to upgrade its systems as companies like <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a> Holdings</b>&nbsp;make it easier to send and spend money digitally. Contactless payments are increasing in popularity, and in the U.S. alone Visa customers have more than 370 million tap-to-pay cards. Installment plans have also taken off, with companies such as <b>Afterpay</b>&nbsp;(recently acquired by <b>Square</b>) and <b>Affirm Holdings</b>&nbsp;demonstrating strong growth, and Visa has launched its own version as well.</p>\n<h2>Rewarding investors</h2>\n<p>At Monday's prices, Visa's stock has gained roughly 190% over the past five years, almost double the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> index. While it's trailing the broader market over the past year, it's still up nearly 15% as it's dealt with the weight of the pandemic.

And that reach is what makes Visa stand out as a business investors want to be a part of.\nThe payment network took a big hit during the early stages of the pandemic, when consumer spending plunged. But it's rebounding along with the economy, and that's where its strength lies. As the largest credit card network in the world, it makes money whenever you swipe your card, making this blue-chip company a surefire bet for long-term growth.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nPowering payments\nVisa's network facilitates payments from consumers to merchants and takes a small fee from each transaction. The sheer number of people who use Visa credit cards demonstrates the company's dominance in the market -- there are currently 3.6 billion Visa cards in use, which translates into almost half the world's population. In 2019, Visa processed more than 200 billion transactions, or more than $11 trillion in volume.\nBecause Visa's model is a platform, it's a high-margin business that easily turns sales into profits. Operating margin was over 66% in Q3, and Visa turned $6.1 billion in revenue into $2.6 billion in net income. It also produced more than $4 billion in free cash flow, which it uses to grow its business as well as pay dividends and repurchase stock.\nBusiness plummeted during the height of pandemic restrictions, but the recovery is moving along. Revenue for the company's fiscal third quarter, covering the period ended June 30, increased 27% from the same period in 2020, but  10% over pre-pandemic 2019 levels.\nBecause the pandemic was such an outlier, we can see Visa's strength more clearly in its long-term growth. As of the latest quarter, Visa has grown revenue by a 9.5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past five years, and net income by an even better rate of 14.3%.\nFintech revolution\nOne of the ways Visa is protecting its top spot in credit card processing is acquiring and making deals with fintech partners. Its proposed acquisition of Plaid, a private company that connects financial apps with institutions, was scrapped after it was given a no-go by regulators. But it's made many smaller acquisitions to grow its business and especially to stay relevant as digital payments become more important. Most recently, it acquired Currencycloud, an app that simplifies foreign exchange to make cross-border payments easier. In Q3, it also announced that it would acquire Tink, a Swedish-based open banking platform.\nVisa needs to upgrade its systems as companies like PayPal Holdings make it easier to send and spend money digitally. Contactless payments are increasing in popularity, and in the U.S. alone Visa customers have more than 370 million tap-to-pay cards. Installment plans have also taken off, with companies such as Afterpay (recently acquired by Square) and Affirm Holdings demonstrating strong growth, and Visa has launched its own version as well.\nRewarding investors\nAt Monday's prices, Visa's stock has gained roughly 190% over the past five years, almost double the S&P 500 index. While it's trailing the broader market over the past year, it's still up nearly 15% as it's dealt with the weight of the pandemic. Its dividend yields 0.55% at the current price, well below the S&P 500 average, but the company has raised its payout annually since 2008.\nSince it generally mirrors the state of the economy, which an overwhelming amount of the time expands rather than contracts, Visa is great long-term stock to own. Its top position makes it hard to compete with, and it can provide security and stability to a balanced portfolio.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":221,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":177212888,"gmtCreate":1627222843344,"gmtModify":1703485721309,"author":{"id":"3569603161872862","authorId":"3569603161872862","name":"henlo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08567d1b76bc5643fa35a98952d57b5","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569603161872862","authorIdStr":"3569603161872862"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":10,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/177212888","repostId":"2153878189","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2153878189","pubTimestamp":1627179426,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2153878189?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-25 10:17","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Amazon's stock looks tired.

Bipartisan talk of&nbsp;antitrust actions&nbsp;against the e-commerce giant could mean that Amazon’s dominance could begin to face challenges from Washington. That comes as Bezos handed off the CEO role to Andy Jassy earlier this month.</p>\n<p>Shares of Amazon have underperformed the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100&nbsp;and the S&amp;P 500&nbsp;in 2021, even as the coronavirus pandemic forced Americans to rely on its service during the darkest days.</p>\n<p>Given all this, it is worth considering e-commerce alternatives if you’re worried that Amazon’s best days are behind it.</p>\n<p>Here are five smaller high-growth companies you may want to research:</p>\n<p><b>Sea</b></p>\n<p>Shares of&nbsp;Sea Ltd.&nbsp;are up about 45% in 2021, hitting new all-time highs as it continues its aggressive growth across Asia and Latin America.</p>\n<p>The Singapore-based company has a broad business model capitalizing on e-commerce and digital retail operations around the world. That includes its Garena digital entertainment platform that publishes video games and offers e-sports tie-ins, the Shopee e-commerce platform and SeaMoney digital financial services that include mobile payment services.</p>\n<p>Sea was a darling in 2020 as it rode the “stay at home trade” to great success. Revenue doubled year over year in 2020 to $4.4 billion, and the company’s momentum was the envy of Wall Street as Sea stock racked up roughly 640% gains on the calendar year.</p>\n<p>But the fundamentals shown by Sea in 2021 hint that the surge in share prices were justified. Consider that in its first-quarter report in May, revenue surged by about&nbsp;150%— while gross profit tripled year over year.</p>\n<p>With its next earnings report scheduled for mid-August, Sea stock could see another leg up as it continues to prove Amazon isn’t the only e-commerce name worth watching.</p>\n<p><b>Coupang</b></p>\n<p>While Sea has been a cult stock for a while in some circles, one Asian e-commerce stock that is still flying under the radar for many is Korea-based Coupang Inc..&nbsp;South Korea’s biggest e-commerce company began trading in March after an IPO that raised $4.6 billion, but since then shares have drifted lower — and other cult-like stocks have won all the attention.</p>\n<p>If you haven’t yet heard of Coupang, its model should be quite familiar. It sells various products including home goods, apparel, beauty products, sporting goods and electronics. It’s also looking beyond these tried-and-true categories to include a focus on fresh food and groceries, as well as services including travel and restaurant delivery.</p>\n<p>Though the fundamentals are light given its recent debut, the numbers we have do show this regional e-tailer is connecting in a big way in Korea. Namely, it saw net revenue growth of 74% in its first-quarter report in May, and gross profit up 70% year over year. Total customers grew 21%, and revenue per customer surged 44%.</p>\n<p>Admittedly, the total customer base in that quarter was just 16 million households — hardly Amazon-esque. And so far in 2021, share prices has slumped slightly, even though the S&amp;P 500 has powered higher. But remember, this is a company that just raised $4.6 billion — with a “B” — and is serious about growth. Considering the language and logistical barriers to competition in the markets it serves that clearly have long-term growth potential, investors may want to consider the lull in Coupang shares a buying opportunity.</p>\n<p><b>MercadoLibre</b></p>\n<p>Taking a page out of the playbook of Silicon Valley stocks that boast high share prices and a refusal to split, MercadoLibre Inc.&nbsp;is currently trading well above four figures — and based on recent history, seems as if it’s likely to stay there.</p>\n<p>MercadoLibre stock has cooled off in 2021 and is sitting on a slight loss year to date, compared with an uptrend broadly for U.S. stocks. However, that’s after this Latin American stock racked up 200% gains last year. Argentina-based MercadoLibre is hardly slowing down, however, as in the first quarter it reported&nbsp;70 million&nbsp;active users — an increase of 62% above the just over 43 million users in the prior year. Gross merchandise volume was up even more at a 77% year-over-year growth rate to just over $6 billion, compared with $3.4 billion in the first quarter of 2020.</p>\n<p>What’s really exciting for investors, however, is that the gains in core e-commerce transactions is supplemented by continued growth into financial services. MercadoLibre reported an impressive $2.9 billion in payment volume through its mobile wallet platform, and its Mercado Credito lending platform saw its portfolio grow to $576 million — more than doubling over the prior year.</p>\n<p>Amazon has taught e-commerce companies that dominating all aspects of the consumer experience is how to truly build a dominant operation. With MercadoLibre growing sales but also increasingly connecting on the financial side, it is setting up itself to be a force in Latin America — and a real competitor to even entrenched western e-commerce brands.</p>\n<p><b>Newegg</b></p>\n<p>Newegg Commerce Inc.&nbsp;is a consumer-electronics e-tailer that has a bit of a following in computer geek circles but largely has gone unnoticed by most consumers and investors. That is, until it spiked from $10 a share to a brief high above $60 a share in July.</p>\n<p>The inciting incident was news that Newegg would carry hard-to-get Nvidia&nbsp;graphics hardware, and theoretically see a big bump in revenue and profits as a result. However, Newegg may be proving that it is much more than just a tangential play piggybacking off Nvidia as it proves there is real value to specialty retailers that serve a specific audience — and can offer in-demand products instead of knock-offs propped up by fraudulent five-star reviews.</p>\n<p>Newegg went public via a SPAC, so it doesn’t have a lot of history to show investors just yet. But what little we know is proof that Newegg stock has potential. Consider it commands an impressive market share when it comes to core hardware items like PC processors, motherboards and the like. It also ranks as a top-five website worldwide when it comes to computer and electronics retailing sites, and is a go-to site for cryptocurrency miners as well as PC gamers.</p>\n<p>According to what we know about the financials, Newegg topped $2.1 billion in sales, thanks to its dominance in this profitable niche of computer components. And as evidenced by its recent Nvidia score, it has deep relationships with consumer electronics suppliers to ensure it is not just another Amazon clone selling cut-rate flat screens.</p>\n<p><b>Shopify</b></p>\n<p>If you’re interested in what life looks like for e-commerce beyond Amazon, look no further than Shopify Inc..This Canada-based tech company offers a platform for any company to build out web and mobile storefronts, integrate those operations into physical retail locations and then assist with the nitty gritty of inventory, shipping and payments.</p>\n<p>Shopify stock was one of those names that made a lot of headlines in 2020 as part of the pandemic-related surge in service providers made for social distancing. Shares surged from about $400 to $1,100 last year as a result of everyone looking to do business digitally. But in 2021, Shopify stock has tacked on almost 40% more, proving this is not just a COVID trade. After all, the e-commerce potential it helps merchants realize is real and lasting beyond the pandemic.</p>\n<p>Case in point:Fiscal first-quarter revenue growth&nbsp;reported at the end of April was a red hot 110%. But what long-term investors will like even more is that its subscription service metric MRR — that is, monthly recurring revenue — accelerated 62% year-over-year to prove that many of the initial spend on building out these platforms is sticking as clients maintain their Shopify presence.</p>\n<p>Shopify isn’t quite the scale of Amazon, but at $200 billion or so in market value right now with a comfortable operating profit to sustain it, investors who want to bet the field vs. Bezos &amp; Co. could do worse than plug into Shopify stock.</p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","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>Amazon's stock looks tired.

Gross merchandise volume was up even more at a 77% year-over-year growth rate to just over $6 billion, compared with $3.4 billion in the first quarter of 2020.\nWhat’s really exciting for investors, however, is that the gains in core e-commerce transactions is supplemented by continued growth into financial services. MercadoLibre reported an impressive $2.9 billion in payment volume through its mobile wallet platform, and its Mercado Credito lending platform saw its portfolio grow to $576 million — more than doubling over the prior year.\nAmazon has taught e-commerce companies that dominating all aspects of the consumer experience is how to truly build a dominant operation. With MercadoLibre growing sales but also increasingly connecting on the financial side, it is setting up itself to be a force in Latin America — and a real competitor to even entrenched western e-commerce brands.\nNewegg\nNewegg Commerce Inc. is a consumer-electronics e-tailer that has a bit of a following in computer geek circles but largely has gone unnoticed by most consumers and investors. That is, until it spiked from $10 a share to a brief high above $60 a share in July.\nThe inciting incident was news that Newegg would carry hard-to-get Nvidia graphics hardware, and theoretically see a big bump in revenue and profits as a result. However, Newegg may be proving that it is much more than just a tangential play piggybacking off Nvidia as it proves there is real value to specialty retailers that serve a specific audience — and can offer in-demand products instead of knock-offs propped up by fraudulent five-star reviews.\nNewegg went public via a SPAC, so it doesn’t have a lot of history to show investors just yet. But what little we know is proof that Newegg stock has potential. Consider it commands an impressive market share when it comes to core hardware items like PC processors, motherboards and the like. It also ranks as a top-five website worldwide when it comes to computer and electronics retailing sites, and is a go-to site for cryptocurrency miners as well as PC gamers.\nAccording to what we know about the financials, Newegg topped $2.1 billion in sales, thanks to its dominance in this profitable niche of computer components. And as evidenced by its recent Nvidia score, it has deep relationships with consumer electronics suppliers to ensure it is not just another Amazon clone selling cut-rate flat screens.\nShopify\nIf you’re interested in what life looks like for e-commerce beyond Amazon, look no further than Shopify Inc..This Canada-based tech company offers a platform for any company to build out web and mobile storefronts, integrate those operations into physical retail locations and then assist with the nitty gritty of inventory, shipping and payments.\nShopify stock was one of those names that made a lot of headlines in 2020 as part of the pandemic-related surge in service providers made for social distancing. Shares surged from about $400 to $1,100 last year as a result of everyone looking to do business digitally. But in 2021, Shopify stock has tacked on almost 40% more, proving this is not just a COVID trade. After all, the e-commerce potential it helps merchants realize is real and lasting beyond the pandemic.\nCase in point:Fiscal first-quarter revenue growth reported at the end of April was a red hot 110%. But what long-term investors will like even more is that its subscription service metric MRR — that is, monthly recurring revenue — accelerated 62% year-over-year to prove that many of the initial spend on building out these platforms is sticking as clients maintain their Shopify presence.\nShopify isn’t quite the scale of Amazon, but at $200 billion or so in market value right now with a comfortable operating profit to sustain it, investors who want to bet the field vs. Bezos & Co. could do worse than plug into Shopify stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":123,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":895961068,"gmtCreate":1628714647054,"gmtModify":1676529827892,"author":{"id":"3569603161872862","authorId":"3569603161872862","name":"henlo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08567d1b76bc5643fa35a98952d57b5","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569603161872862","authorIdStr":"3569603161872862"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/895961068","repostId":"1197984437","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1197984437","pubTimestamp":1628695457,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1197984437?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-11 23:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Bitcoin ETF Filing Flood Collides With Cooling Demand for Funds","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1197984437","media":"finance.yahoo","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler ignited a fresh wave of op","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler ignited a fresh wave of optimism among Bitcoin exchange-traded fund advocates this month -- but it’s unclear whether investors share that enthusiasm.</p>\n<p>Digital-asset investment products from Grayscale, Bitwise, 21Shares and others saw outflows for the fifth straight week, the longest such streak since January 2018, according to data compiled by CoinShares.

But that’s not actually the case. In fact, advertising is gradually becoming a material contributor to the company’s revenue base.</p>\n<p>In a research note Tuesday, Bernstein analystToni Sacconaghidoes a deep dive into Apple’s ad business. While the company doesn’t talk about the business much andprovides little disclosure, Sacconaghi estimates that Apple will generate about $3 billion in ad revenue in the September 2021 fiscal year, up from about $300 million in fiscal 2017. He thinks the total could grow to the $7 billion-to-$10 billion-a-year range by fiscal 2023 or 2024, boosting growth in Apple’s services business as much as three percentage points.</p>\n<p>Sacconaghi notes that most of Apple’s ad business is centered on search ads in the App Store. He says growth drivers in the business include the June addition of search ads in China, higher ad loads, and the introduction of banner ads to the store in May. He also points out that Apple generates modest revenue today—likely under $500 million a year—from ads in the Apple News and Stocks apps.</p>\n<p>There are other opportunities—including Apple Maps and Apple TV. Sacconaghi estimates that Google generates about $4 billion in ad revenue a year from Maps, with a user base about four times the size, suggesting $1 billion a year in potential ad revenue.

But that’s not actually the case. In fact, advertising is gradually becoming a material contributor to the company’s revenue base.\nIn a research note Tuesday, Bernstein analystToni Sacconaghidoes a deep dive into Apple’s ad business. While the company doesn’t talk about the business much andprovides little disclosure, Sacconaghi estimates that Apple will generate about $3 billion in ad revenue in the September 2021 fiscal year, up from about $300 million in fiscal 2017. He thinks the total could grow to the $7 billion-to-$10 billion-a-year range by fiscal 2023 or 2024, boosting growth in Apple’s services business as much as three percentage points.\nSacconaghi notes that most of Apple’s ad business is centered on search ads in the App Store. He says growth drivers in the business include the June addition of search ads in China, higher ad loads, and the introduction of banner ads to the store in May. He also points out that Apple generates modest revenue today—likely under $500 million a year—from ads in the Apple News and Stocks apps.\nThere are other opportunities—including Apple Maps and Apple TV. Sacconaghi estimates that Google generates about $4 billion in ad revenue a year from Maps, with a user base about four times the size, suggesting $1 billion a year in potential ad revenue. And he says that the streaming-device companyRoku (ROKU)provides “a helpful precedent” for how Apple can generate revenue from Apple TV hardware—where he sees another $1 billion-plus opportunity.\nThe analyst adds that Apple could place ads on other properties—like Apple Fitness+ and Garage Band—but that the adoption of advertising in applications like Apple Mail, Apple TV+, or Apple’s home screens likely would “irk consumers and undermine Apple’s strongly avowed stance on privacy.”\nMeanwhile, Sacconaghi says, Apple’s position on Identifier for Advertisers, or IDFA, offers the company some competitive advantages. “While we believe that Apple’s move to eliminate IDFA was done in the spirit of advancing consumer privacy, it may ultimately provide Apple with an advertising platform that is competitively advantaged vs. peers who don’t have access to Apple’s richer APIs,” he writes.\nThe analyst notes thatAmazon.com‘s (AMZN) ad business was similar in size to Apple’s in 2017—and now has a run rate north of $25 billion and is a substantial part of the investment thesis on the stock. “Along similar lines, a large and growing advertising business could help Apple accelerate its overall Services growth rate, which would likely be viewed positively by investors,” he concludes.\nApple shares were up 0.1%, at $145.72, in recent trading.

But the shares, around $185, are off nearly 30% after the company recently cut 2021 financial guidance, citing Covid-related staffing and cost issues, mostly in acquired hospice operations. The 2021 earnings estimate is now $6.13 a share, down from nearly $7. The stock trades for 30 times projected 2021 profits. Cole says that the company remains capable of generating 10% annual gains in earnings per share.</p>\n<p>Amyris(AMRS) is a leader in synthetic biology. It fans say its opportunity is to supplant, in an eco-friendly way, a range of products now made from petrochemicals, animals, and plants.</p>\n<p>Using genetically re-engineered yeast and sugar cane, Amyris produces such things as squalane, a high-end moisturizer formerly made from shark livers; vanillin, the flavoring for vanilla; and a no-calorie sweetener normally derived from plants. The stock trades around $13.</p>\n<p><i>Barron’s</i>&nbsp;wrote&nbsp;favorably on the company in July. Amyris sees sales reaching $2 billion by 2025, up from an estimated $400 million this year, driven by its consumer brands.</p>\n<p>“The world needs clean chemistry, and Amyris is the point on the spear to create it,” says Randy Baron, a portfolio manager at Pinnacle Associates, which owns Amyris shares. He thinks they could hit $75 by the end of 2022.</p>\n<p>Booz Allen Hamilton Holding(BAH) is an important consultant to the Defense Department and other agencies. The U.S. government accounted for 97% of its revenue in its latest fiscal year. Booz Allen has built robust ties to the government over the years by providing an array of services, like cybersecurity. Its stock trades around $81, for a 1.8% yield.</p>\n<p>“It has built a strong, partnership-like culture and has a long record of steady growth,” says Josh Spencer, manager of the T. Rowe Price New Horizons fund. He sees Booz Allen as capable of generating 9% to 10% annual growth in revenue and yearly gains of 15% to 16% in earnings, in line with its historical performance. The stock is off 20% from its peak of $100, amid concerns about more restrained military spending. Spencer sees the pullback as a buying opportunity, with the stock valued at less than 20 times earnings.</p>\n<p>J.B. Hunt Transport Services(JBHT) is a leader in intermodal freight, which involves the fuel-efficient movement of trucks over rail lines. It has been one of the most successful trucking companies. Its stock has risen 30-fold over the past 20 years, to a recent $173. “It has an incredible franchise,” says Henry Ellenbogen, chief investment officer at Durable Capital Partners and a member of the&nbsp;Barron’s Roundtable.</p>\n<p>J.B. Hunt’s relationship with the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad gives it a strong position in intermodal freight, he notes. J.B. Hunt also has a growing business taking over the trucking operations of smaller companies. And it is involved in digital freight brokerage—matching truckers with shipping customers.</p>\n<p>Ellenbogen says the stock is reasonable at 22 times estimated 2022 profits, given a mid-teens annual growth outlook for earnings.</p>\n<p>Marriott Vacations Worldwide(VAC) is one of the top companies in the timeshare industry. It has 700,000 owners, a resilient business model with significant revenue from fees, and more exposure than its peers to luxury properties in places including Hawaii and Orlando, Fla.</p>\n<p>“It has the best customer base, with the highest spending and an impeccable balance sheet,” says David Baron, a manager of the Baron Focused Growth fund. Marriott Vacations, whose shares recently were trading around $145, should reinstate its dividend later this year, he adds.</p>\n<p>The shares, Baron argues, are cheap at a 11% free-cash-flow yield, based on 2022 estimates. He says that the stock, little changed since 2018, could produce 20% annual returns for shareholders in the coming years.</p>\n<p>SiteOne Landscape Supply(SITE) is the country’s top supplier of landscaping products, with ample opportunity to expand, given that it has just a 13% market share in a highly fragmented industry.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>“It’s growing organically and has lots of acquisition opportunities,” says Columbia’s Cole, who considers the company to be capable of 10% to 15% annual revenue growth.</p>\n<p>The stock, around $197, has a rich valuation, trading for 43 times projected 2022 earnings of $4.54 a share.</p>\n<p>Staar Surgical(STAA) has developed an implantable lens to correct myopia (nearsightedness). That addresses a potentially huge market, given the rising global incidence of that vision problem. The company expects the lens, which has been available in Europe and Asia for at least five years, to be on the U.S. market in the fourth quarter, pending Food and Drug Administration approval.</p>\n<p>“It could do substantial volumes,’’ says Doug Brodie, a global manager at Baillie Gifford. “It’s early in a journey and is largely devoid of competition.”</p>\n<p>Lenses for both eyes can be implanted in less than an hour, and they don’t involve the removal of the natural lenses. The wholesale cost in the U.S. could be around $1,000 per lens.</p>\n<p>At a recent $138, Staar shares are richly valued at more than 20 times projected 2022 sales and 140 times estimated 2022 earnings. But the market opportunity is enormous: Some five billion people worldwide could have myopia by 2050.</p>\n<p>Stitch Fix(SFIX) has developed a subscription service for clothing, shoes, and other accessories and boasts over four million customers.</p>\n<p>“This could be the Nordstrom of the future,” says Mario Cibelli, chief investment officer at Marathon Partners Equity Management, a Stitch Fix holder. “This a potentially huge market and nobody is addressing it in the same way.” Using a staff of 6,000 personal stylists and lots of data, Stitch Fix seeks to identify subscriber tastes to generate high satisfaction and limit returns on packages sent at intervals and determined by subscribers.</p>\n<p>Its shares, around $44, are down 60% from their level earlier in the year, on investors’ worries about potential churn and the business’s ultimate profitability.</p>\n<p>Yet Cibelli sees revenue growth of 20%-plus annually, opportunities outside its current U.S. and U.K. markets, and a potentially very profitable business in two to three years.</p>\n<p>Trex(TREX) is the top producer of a high-end wood alternative for decks that comes from 95% recycled material, making it an eco-friendly housing play. The shares, at $105, trade for 43 times projected 2022 earnings.</p>\n<p>T. Rowe Price’s Spencer views Trex as worth the price, based on his view that it can generate sustainable annual revenue growth of 15% to 20%. Earnings are expected to climb by about 20% in 2022 and at a similar pace in the following years. “If you roll the clock forward three years, it doesn’t look as expensive,” he says.</p>\n<p>Upwork(UPWK), an online marketplace for freelance workers, is favored by Baillie Gifford’s Brodie, who says it offers a play on the greater acceptance of freelancers by businesses.</p>\n<p>The shares, recently around $44, aren’t cheap. Upwork is valued at $5.7 billion, or more than 10 times this year’s projected sales of nearly $500 million.

The ultimate goal is to find the elusive “10 bagger”—a stock that returns 10 times what you paid for it.\nWall Street analyst notes and client letters from investment pros are replete with compounder references. Many of the next generation of value managers, identified in a Barron’s cover story in May, are seeking such shares, rather than the traditional value fare of cheap stocks.\nTheir search has become more challenging, because buyers are paying lofty prices for high-growth stories. Really big winners are scarce. Only about 35 companies in each of a long series of 10-year periods have compounded their stock prices at 20% or more annually, resulting in at least a sixfold increase, according to Durable Capital Partners.\nMany investors are happy to stick with large, well-known compounders, such as Alphabet(ticker: GOOGL),Mastercard(MA),UnitedHealth Group(UNH), and Eli Lilly(LLY).\nBarron’s sought to identify smaller candidates. We talked to investment managers and came up with an eclectic list of 10 stocks, most with market values under $10 billion. Here are the selections, in alphabetical order:\nStrong and Steady Wins the RaceHere are 10 stocks that growth investors have identified as being able to generate consistently high growth in revenues or profits for many years.\n\n\n\nCompany / Ticker\nRecent Price\nYTD Change\n2021E P/E\n2021E Price/Sales\n2022E P/E\n2022E Price/Sales\nLT Growth Rate*\nMarket Value (bil)\nComment\n\n\n\n\nAmedysis / AMED\n$185.15\n-37%\n30.2\n2.7\n27.7\n2.4\n10.5%\n$6.3\nLeader in home health care\n\n\nAmyris / AMRS\n13.64\n121\nNM\n10.4\nNM\n9.7\nNA\n4.1\nLeading company in synthetic biology\n\n\nBooz Allen Hamilton Holding / BAH\n81.73\n-6\n19.4\n1.3\n17.7\n1.2\n8.6\n11.0\nDefense-department consultant\n\n\nJ.B.

But the shares, around $185, are off nearly 30% after the company recently cut 2021 financial guidance, citing Covid-related staffing and cost issues, mostly in acquired hospice operations. The 2021 earnings estimate is now $6.13 a share, down from nearly $7. The stock trades for 30 times projected 2021 profits. Cole says that the company remains capable of generating 10% annual gains in earnings per share.\nAmyris(AMRS) is a leader in synthetic biology. It fans say its opportunity is to supplant, in an eco-friendly way, a range of products now made from petrochemicals, animals, and plants.\nUsing genetically re-engineered yeast and sugar cane, Amyris produces such things as squalane, a high-end moisturizer formerly made from shark livers; vanillin, the flavoring for vanilla; and a no-calorie sweetener normally derived from plants. The stock trades around $13.\nBarron’s wrote favorably on the company in July. Amyris sees sales reaching $2 billion by 2025, up from an estimated $400 million this year, driven by its consumer brands.\n“The world needs clean chemistry, and Amyris is the point on the spear to create it,” says Randy Baron, a portfolio manager at Pinnacle Associates, which owns Amyris shares. He thinks they could hit $75 by the end of 2022.\nBooz Allen Hamilton Holding(BAH) is an important consultant to the Defense Department and other agencies. The U.S. government accounted for 97% of its revenue in its latest fiscal year. Booz Allen has built robust ties to the government over the years by providing an array of services, like cybersecurity. Its stock trades around $81, for a 1.8% yield.\n“It has built a strong, partnership-like culture and has a long record of steady growth,” says Josh Spencer, manager of the T. Rowe Price New Horizons fund. He sees Booz Allen as capable of generating 9% to 10% annual growth in revenue and yearly gains of 15% to 16% in earnings, in line with its historical performance. The stock is off 20% from its peak of $100, amid concerns about more restrained military spending. Spencer sees the pullback as a buying opportunity, with the stock valued at less than 20 times earnings.\nJ.B. Hunt Transport Services(JBHT) is a leader in intermodal freight, which involves the fuel-efficient movement of trucks over rail lines. It has been one of the most successful trucking companies. Its stock has risen 30-fold over the past 20 years, to a recent $173. “It has an incredible franchise,” says Henry Ellenbogen, chief investment officer at Durable Capital Partners and a member of the Barron’s Roundtable.\nJ.B. Hunt’s relationship with the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad gives it a strong position in intermodal freight, he notes. J.B. Hunt also has a growing business taking over the trucking operations of smaller companies. And it is involved in digital freight brokerage—matching truckers with shipping customers.\nEllenbogen says the stock is reasonable at 22 times estimated 2022 profits, given a mid-teens annual growth outlook for earnings.\nMarriott Vacations Worldwide(VAC) is one of the top companies in the timeshare industry. It has 700,000 owners, a resilient business model with significant revenue from fees, and more exposure than its peers to luxury properties in places including Hawaii and Orlando, Fla.\n“It has the best customer base, with the highest spending and an impeccable balance sheet,” says David Baron, a manager of the Baron Focused Growth fund. Marriott Vacations, whose shares recently were trading around $145, should reinstate its dividend later this year, he adds.\nThe shares, Baron argues, are cheap at a 11% free-cash-flow yield, based on 2022 estimates. He says that the stock, little changed since 2018, could produce 20% annual returns for shareholders in the coming years.\nSiteOne Landscape Supply(SITE) is the country’s top supplier of landscaping products, with ample opportunity to expand, given that it has just a 13% market share in a highly fragmented industry.\n\n“It’s growing organically and has lots of acquisition opportunities,” says Columbia’s Cole, who considers the company to be capable of 10% to 15% annual revenue growth.\nThe stock, around $197, has a rich valuation, trading for 43 times projected 2022 earnings of $4.54 a share.\nStaar Surgical(STAA) has developed an implantable lens to correct myopia (nearsightedness). That addresses a potentially huge market, given the rising global incidence of that vision problem. The company expects the lens, which has been available in Europe and Asia for at least five years, to be on the U.S. market in the fourth quarter, pending Food and Drug Administration approval.\n“It could do substantial volumes,’’ says Doug Brodie, a global manager at Baillie Gifford. “It’s early in a journey and is largely devoid of competition.”\nLenses for both eyes can be implanted in less than an hour, and they don’t involve the removal of the natural lenses. The wholesale cost in the U.S. could be around $1,000 per lens.\nAt a recent $138, Staar shares are richly valued at more than 20 times projected 2022 sales and 140 times estimated 2022 earnings. But the market opportunity is enormous: Some five billion people worldwide could have myopia by 2050.\nStitch Fix(SFIX) has developed a subscription service for clothing, shoes, and other accessories and boasts over four million customers.\n“This could be the Nordstrom of the future,” says Mario Cibelli, chief investment officer at Marathon Partners Equity Management, a Stitch Fix holder. “This a potentially huge market and nobody is addressing it in the same way.” Using a staff of 6,000 personal stylists and lots of data, Stitch Fix seeks to identify subscriber tastes to generate high satisfaction and limit returns on packages sent at intervals and determined by subscribers.\nIts shares, around $44, are down 60% from their level earlier in the year, on investors’ worries about potential churn and the business’s ultimate profitability.\nYet Cibelli sees revenue growth of 20%-plus annually, opportunities outside its current U.S. and U.K. markets, and a potentially very profitable business in two to three years.\nTrex(TREX) is the top producer of a high-end wood alternative for decks that comes from 95% recycled material, making it an eco-friendly housing play. The shares, at $105, trade for 43 times projected 2022 earnings.\nT. Rowe Price’s Spencer views Trex as worth the price, based on his view that it can generate sustainable annual revenue growth of 15% to 20%. Earnings are expected to climb by about 20% in 2022 and at a similar pace in the following years. “If you roll the clock forward three years, it doesn’t look as expensive,” he says.\nUpwork(UPWK), an online marketplace for freelance workers, is favored by Baillie Gifford’s Brodie, who says it offers a play on the greater acceptance of freelancers by businesses.\nThe shares, recently around $44, aren’t cheap. Upwork is valued at $5.7 billion, or more than 10 times this year’s projected sales of nearly $500 million. It operates at a slight loss.\nThe investment case is about rapid sales growth leading to ample earnings. Sales are expected to rise by 30%-plus this year and 25% for 2022.\n“Freelancers are more accepted by small to midsize business, but they’ve been frowned on by the HR departments at large businesses,” Brodie says. Upwork aims to change that perception by vetting its freelancers and by offering thousands of skill sets. “Upwork could become a trusted partner for an increasing number of enterprise-grade partners,” he says.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":325,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":147432035,"gmtCreate":1626375191427,"gmtModify":1703758934771,"author":{"id":"3569603161872862","authorId":"3569603161872862","name":"henlo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08567d1b76bc5643fa35a98952d57b5","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569603161872862","authorIdStr":"3569603161872862"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/147432035","repostId":"1164987892","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1164987892","pubTimestamp":1626362690,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1164987892?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-15 23:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMC and Verb Tech Rise, GameStop Slips Among Meme Stocks in Focus","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1164987892","media":"Thestreet","summary":"Shares of meme-stock veteran AMC Entertainment (AMC) and business software provider Verb Technology ","content":"<p>Shares of meme-stock veteran AMC Entertainment&nbsp;(<b>AMC</b>)&nbsp;and&nbsp;business software provider Verb Technology&nbsp;(<b>VERB</b>)&nbsp;rose on Thursday, while&nbsp;GameStop&nbsp;(<b>GME</b>)&nbsp;declined.</p>\n<p>AMC, Leawood, Kan., the country’s largest owner of movie theaters and&nbsp;perhaps the second-most-popular meme stock, at last check traded at $34.80, up 4.1%.</p>\n<p>The granddaddy of meme stocks, the Grapevine, Texas, videogame retailer GameStop,&nbsp;recently traded at $166.96, off 0.4%.</p>\n<p>And Verb Technology, American Fork, Utah, recently traded at $2.99, up 20%.

As has been the case for most of the past year, Buffett was active in the financial sector, mostly reducing Berkshire Hathaway's positions in banks. At the company's annual investor day earlier this month, Buffett provided some explanation for all the stock selling he's done in that sector.</p>\n<p>\"I like banks generally,\" he said, \"I just didn't like the proportion we had compared to the possible risk if we got the bad results that so far we haven't gotten.\"</p>\n<p>Let's review the three big changes Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway made to their bank holdings in the first quarter.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c2da7d6438277757a73f9e626ebc6fc2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>1. All but eliminating Wells Fargo</h2>\n<p>Everyone knew it was coming, but Buffett all but made it official last quarter, nearly eliminating his position in his onetime favorite bank, <b>Wells Fargo</b> (NYSE:WFC). Berkshire Hathaway sold 51.7 million shares, dropping its stake to a mere 675,000 shares valued at $26.3 million.</p>\n<p>This essentially ends what was an epic run for the Oracle of Omaha and Wells Fargo. Buffett first purchased shares in the large U.S. bank in 1989, and by 1994, he had acquired more than 13% of its outstanding shares. At the end of the third quarter of 2019, before the pandemic, Buffett's stake, which had a rough original cost basis of just below $9 billion, was worth close to $20 billion. And at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> point back in 2017, it was reportedly worth as much as $29 billion.</p>\n<p>But as the fallout of Wells Fargo's phony accounts scandal and other revelations about its consumer abuses continued to play out, Buffett began to lose faith in the institution and started trimming his position. It looks like Buffett ultimately ended up making much less on his Wells Fargo investment than he could have, considering he sold more than 323 million shares between the end of Q1 2020 and the end of Q1 2021. During that 12-month period, the bank's shares traded from a low of $21.45 to a high of $39.07. At the end of 2019, they traded north of $53.</p>\n<p>The stock closed at $45.73 on Thursday, and many investors still believe Wells Fargo is undervalued these days, trading at 135% tangible book value (equity minus intangible assets and goodwill). Bank valuations have shot up in recent months, and Wells Fargo in particular could see more tailwinds when the Federal Reserve lifts the $1.95 trillion asset cap that the bank has been operating under since 2018.</p>\n<h2>2. Dumping <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SYF\">Synchrony Financial</a></h2>\n<p>Last quarter, Berkshire Hathaway also eliminated its entire stake in the consumer finance credit card company <b>Synchrony Financial&nbsp;</b>(NYSE:SYF), selling its 21.1 million shares. Synchrony uses what it calls a \"partner-centric\" business model under which it teams up with leading retailers and digital brands that promote Synchrony's credit cards. Consumers can get deals on specific purchases by opening Synchrony credit cards, which are often branded under a retailer's name.</p>\n<p>While I wouldn't say I saw this move coming, it doesn't entirely surprise me. Over the last year, Buffett has become even more selective about which banks he wants to own. He seems to be picking a winner or two in each banking industry subcategory -- for instance, he sold his stake in America's largest bank, <b>JPMorgan Chase</b>, and loaded up on America's second-largest bank, <b>Bank of America</b>.</p>\n<p>Considering that Buffett already has a huge position in <b>American <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPR\">Express</a></b>, and loves the brand, that is likely going to be his pick for a credit-card-focused holding. Berkshire Hathaway likely made a good profit on that Synchrony investment, though, considering that the stock hit its highest level ever during Q1.</p>\n<h2>3. Trimming U.S. Bancorp again</h2>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway also sold about 1.45 million shares of <b>U.S. Bancorp</b> (NYSE:USB) in the first quarter -- but it still owns nearly 129.7 million shares. The Oracle of Omaha has sold small quantities of shares of the Minnesota-based regional bank a few times over the last year, and it's a bit unclear why. It does appear that he has made U.S. Bancorp his regional bank pick, though. He sold off his other regional bank holdings, including his stakes in <b>PNC Financial Services Group</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>M&amp;T Bank</b>, in the fourth quarter of 2020.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>One possible explanation relates to Buffett's well-known desire to keep his stakes in those banks below 10%, so he can avoid the additional reporting requirements that a higher ownership level would trigger. At the end of the first quarter, Buffett owned about 8.7% of U.S. Bancorp's outstanding shares. So his stock sale may have simply been a move to prepare for the bank's planned share repurchases, which should accelerate later this year. Last quarter's adjustment should maintain Berkshire Hathaway's stake at a level comfortably under the 10% threshold, even after U.S. Bancorp's total share count is reduced. </p>\n<p>Overall, I still feel confident that Buffett plans to stick with U.S. Bancorp, although I will continue to watch his moves in upcoming quarters to see if he further reduces his stake in it.</p>","source":"fool_stock","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>Here Are the 3 Bank Moves Warren Buffett Has Made So Far in 2021</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\">\nHere Are the 3 Bank Moves Warren Buffett Has Made So Far in 2021\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-21 23:36 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/21/here-are-the-3-bank-moves-warren-buffett-has-made/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) (NYSE:BRK.B) recently filed its 13F form for the first quarter of 2021, detailing what stock sales and purchases the conglomerate and the legendary investor in charge, ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/21/here-are-the-3-bank-moves-warren-buffett-has-made/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"USB":"美国合众银行","SYF":"Synchrony Financial","WFC":"富国银行","BRK.B":"伯克希尔B","BRK.A":"伯克希尔"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/21/here-are-the-3-bank-moves-warren-buffett-has-made/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2137906121","content_text":"Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) (NYSE:BRK.B) recently filed its 13F form for the first quarter of 2021, detailing what stock sales and purchases the conglomerate and the legendary investor in charge, Warren Buffett, made during the period. As has been the case for most of the past year, Buffett was active in the financial sector, mostly reducing Berkshire Hathaway's positions in banks. At the company's annual investor day earlier this month, Buffett provided some explanation for all the stock selling he's done in that sector.\n\"I like banks generally,\" he said, \"I just didn't like the proportion we had compared to the possible risk if we got the bad results that so far we haven't gotten.\"\nLet's review the three big changes Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway made to their bank holdings in the first quarter.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. All but eliminating Wells Fargo\nEveryone knew it was coming, but Buffett all but made it official last quarter, nearly eliminating his position in his onetime favorite bank, Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC). Berkshire Hathaway sold 51.7 million shares, dropping its stake to a mere 675,000 shares valued at $26.3 million.\nThis essentially ends what was an epic run for the Oracle of Omaha and Wells Fargo. Buffett first purchased shares in the large U.S. bank in 1989, and by 1994, he had acquired more than 13% of its outstanding shares. At the end of the third quarter of 2019, before the pandemic, Buffett's stake, which had a rough original cost basis of just below $9 billion, was worth close to $20 billion. And at one point back in 2017, it was reportedly worth as much as $29 billion.\nBut as the fallout of Wells Fargo's phony accounts scandal and other revelations about its consumer abuses continued to play out, Buffett began to lose faith in the institution and started trimming his position. It looks like Buffett ultimately ended up making much less on his Wells Fargo investment than he could have, considering he sold more than 323 million shares between the end of Q1 2020 and the end of Q1 2021. During that 12-month period, the bank's shares traded from a low of $21.45 to a high of $39.07. At the end of 2019, they traded north of $53.\nThe stock closed at $45.73 on Thursday, and many investors still believe Wells Fargo is undervalued these days, trading at 135% tangible book value (equity minus intangible assets and goodwill). Bank valuations have shot up in recent months, and Wells Fargo in particular could see more tailwinds when the Federal Reserve lifts the $1.95 trillion asset cap that the bank has been operating under since 2018.\n2. Dumping Synchrony Financial\nLast quarter, Berkshire Hathaway also eliminated its entire stake in the consumer finance credit card company Synchrony Financial (NYSE:SYF), selling its 21.1 million shares. Synchrony uses what it calls a \"partner-centric\" business model under which it teams up with leading retailers and digital brands that promote Synchrony's credit cards. Consumers can get deals on specific purchases by opening Synchrony credit cards, which are often branded under a retailer's name.\nWhile I wouldn't say I saw this move coming, it doesn't entirely surprise me. Over the last year, Buffett has become even more selective about which banks he wants to own. He seems to be picking a winner or two in each banking industry subcategory -- for instance, he sold his stake in America's largest bank, JPMorgan Chase, and loaded up on America's second-largest bank, Bank of America.\nConsidering that Buffett already has a huge position in American Express, and loves the brand, that is likely going to be his pick for a credit-card-focused holding. Berkshire Hathaway likely made a good profit on that Synchrony investment, though, considering that the stock hit its highest level ever during Q1.\n3. Trimming U.S. Bancorp again\nBerkshire Hathaway also sold about 1.45 million shares of U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) in the first quarter -- but it still owns nearly 129.7 million shares. The Oracle of Omaha has sold small quantities of shares of the Minnesota-based regional bank a few times over the last year, and it's a bit unclear why. It does appear that he has made U.S. Bancorp his regional bank pick, though. He sold off his other regional bank holdings, including his stakes in PNC Financial Services Group and M&T Bank, in the fourth quarter of 2020. \nOne possible explanation relates to Buffett's well-known desire to keep his stakes in those banks below 10%, so he can avoid the additional reporting requirements that a higher ownership level would trigger. At the end of the first quarter, Buffett owned about 8.7% of U.S. Bancorp's outstanding shares.

Here is what else you need to know about the company.</p>\n<p><b>Growing Revenue, Shrinking Profits</b></p>\n<p>Squarespace posted $621 million in revenue during 2020, up from $485 million a year earlier. Revenue was up 28% in the latest fiscal year, ahead of the 24% growth rate seen in the prior period.</p>\n<p>The company classifies 94% of its revenue as subscription-based. Squarespace added about 700,000 new unique subscriptions in 2020 and the company disclosed that more than two thirds of total subscriptions are annual.</p>\n<p>About 70% of Squarespace’s revenue last year came from the U.S., while the rest was international.</p>\n<p>Squarespace was profitable last year, recording about $30.6 million in net income, though profits were down from $58.2 million in 2019. The company’s “fundamentals highlight a rare combo of profitability and growth at scale,” wrote MKM Partners analyst Rohit Kulkarni.</p>\n<p>Despite a string of profitability on an annual basis, Squarespace generated a net loss of $10.1 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared with a loss of $1.1 million a year earlier. The company posted profits in each of the last three quarters of 2020.</p>\n<p><b>Competition Aplenty</b></p>\n<p>The company competes with a variety of different players across the e-commerce industry, according to its filing. Squarespace counts web-creation platforms like&nbsp;Wix.com&nbsp;(ticker: WIX) and Square’s (SQ) Weebly among its competition, along with e-commerce powerhouse&nbsp;Shopify&nbsp;(ticker: SHOP),&nbsp;which lets businesses set up online shops.</p>\n<p>Squarespace also calls out competitors like GoDaddy (GDDY) that offer domain-name tools, as well as those providing email-marketing and scheduling functions, while arguing that its own “comprehensive, all-in-one platform, multichannel commerce capabilities” are an asset.</p>\n<p>Jefferies analyst Brent Thill notes that Wix is larger than Squarespace, with revenue of $989 million last year versus $621 million for Squarespace. In addition, Squarespace’s revenue last year was similar to what Wix posted in 2018, but Wix was posting faster growth at that scale, and without the benefit of the pandemic-driven acceleration in e-commerce more broadly, he wrote.</p>\n<p><b>On the Menu</b></p>\n<p>SquareSpace recently closed its $415 million acquisition of Tock, a company focused on the restaurant and hospitality industries. Tock’s services allow businesses to manage reservations, takeout, event ticketing and more.</p>\n<p>This part of the business may position SquareSpace against more tech giants, suggested MKM’s Kulkarni.</p>\n<p>“SquareSpace’s offering with Tock faces competition from delivery services such as Uber Eats (UBER),DoorDash&nbsp;(DASH) and&nbsp;Grubhub&nbsp;(GRUB),&nbsp;along with other restaurant [customer-relationship management] services such as TouchBistro and Toast,” he wrote.</p>\n<p>At the same time, the acquisition is an example of one way Squarespace has “smartly diversified into selling not just physical goods online but also adding calendar/scheduling capabilities (restaurant or gym reservations), content sales, and subscriptions,” he continued.</p>\n<p><b>Marketing Bucks</b></p>\n<p>Squarespace’s marketing and sales costs are growing far faster than its revenue. The company incurred $3.1 million in such expenses last year, up from $1.7 million in 2019, making for a 45% increase, whereas revenue was up 28% in the same span.</p>\n<p>The company’s podcast advertisements may be familiar to frequent listeners, though Squarespace notes in its prospectus that it advertises its services broadly, using “online keyword search, sponsorships and celebrity endorsements, television, podcasts, print and online advertising, email and social media marketing.”</p>\n<p>Among its risk factors, Squarespace points to the possibility that Alphabet’s (GOOGL) Google could change its algorithm or raise the costs of its search-engine-marketing tools.</p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","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>4 Things to Know Ahead of the Squarespace’s Direct Listing</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\">\n4 Things to Know Ahead of the Squarespace’s Direct Listing\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-19 15:26 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.barrons.com/articles/squarespace-direct-listing-51621376597?mod=hp_LEAD_3><strong>Barrons</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The pandemic prompted many small businesses to gain online storefronts for the first time, creating an e-commerce wave that helped website-creation platform Squarespace Inc. accelerate its revenue ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.barrons.com/articles/squarespace-direct-listing-51621376597?mod=hp_LEAD_3\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"SQSP":"Squarespace Inc."},"source_url":"https://www.barrons.com/articles/squarespace-direct-listing-51621376597?mod=hp_LEAD_3","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1158638540","content_text":"The pandemic prompted many small businesses to gain online storefronts for the first time, creating an e-commerce wave that helped website-creation platform Squarespace Inc. accelerate its revenue growth.\nNow Squarespace will test the resilience of that e-commerce momentum as a public company.

Squarespace counts web-creation platforms like Wix.com (ticker: WIX) and Square’s (SQ) Weebly among its competition, along with e-commerce powerhouse Shopify (ticker: SHOP), which lets businesses set up online shops.\nSquarespace also calls out competitors like GoDaddy (GDDY) that offer domain-name tools, as well as those providing email-marketing and scheduling functions, while arguing that its own “comprehensive, all-in-one platform, multichannel commerce capabilities” are an asset.\nJefferies analyst Brent Thill notes that Wix is larger than Squarespace, with revenue of $989 million last year versus $621 million for Squarespace. In addition, Squarespace’s revenue last year was similar to what Wix posted in 2018, but Wix was posting faster growth at that scale, and without the benefit of the pandemic-driven acceleration in e-commerce more broadly, he wrote.\nOn the Menu\nSquareSpace recently closed its $415 million acquisition of Tock, a company focused on the restaurant and hospitality industries. Tock’s services allow businesses to manage reservations, takeout, event ticketing and more.\nThis part of the business may position SquareSpace against more tech giants, suggested MKM’s Kulkarni.\n“SquareSpace’s offering with Tock faces competition from delivery services such as Uber Eats (UBER),DoorDash (DASH) and Grubhub (GRUB), along with other restaurant [customer-relationship management] services such as TouchBistro and Toast,” he wrote.\nAt the same time, the acquisition is an example of one way Squarespace has “smartly diversified into selling not just physical goods online but also adding calendar/scheduling capabilities (restaurant or gym reservations), content sales, and subscriptions,” he continued.\nMarketing Bucks\nSquarespace’s marketing and sales costs are growing far faster than its revenue. The company incurred $3.1 million in such expenses last year, up from $1.7 million in 2019, making for a 45% increase, whereas revenue was up 28% in the same span.\nThe company’s podcast advertisements may be familiar to frequent listeners, though Squarespace notes in its prospectus that it advertises its services broadly, using “online keyword search, sponsorships and celebrity endorsements, television, podcasts, print and online advertising, email and social media marketing.”\nAmong its risk factors, Squarespace points to the possibility that Alphabet’s (GOOGL) Google could change its algorithm or raise the costs of its search-engine-marketing tools.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":83,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":104237902,"gmtCreate":1620392797306,"gmtModify":1704343009859,"author":{"id":"3569603161872862","authorId":"3569603161872862","name":"henlo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08567d1b76bc5643fa35a98952d57b5","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569603161872862","authorIdStr":"3569603161872862"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow cool post thanks for sharing","listText":"Wow cool post thanks for sharing","text":"Wow cool post thanks for sharing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/104237902","repostId":"1157328258","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1157328258","pubTimestamp":1620360165,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1157328258?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-07 12:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Amazon: The Most Clearly Undervalued Company","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1157328258","media":"Seeking alpha","summary":"SummaryAmazon is one of the companies whose growth has not yet reached its limit and not even entere","content":"<p>Summary</p><ul><li>Amazon is one of the companies whose growth has not yet reached its limit and not even entered the plateau phase.</li><li>In terms of comparative valuation, AMZN is undervalued against the market.</li><li>DCF-based Amazon stock price target suggests 30% upside potential.

The IPO raised $3.4 billion.</p>\n<p>But is Snowflake a buy right now? After a tough start to 2021, software growth stocks have rebounded.

The Cleveland Research report ostensibly points to increased competition from Google's cloud business.</p>\n<p>Snowflake stock hit an all-time high of 429 in early December. But SNOW stock swooned in late 2020 amid analyst concerns over its lofty valuation.</p>\n<p>At a June 10 analyst day, Snowflake laid out a path to $10 billion in product revenue by fiscal 2029, which coincides with calendar 2028. The $10 billion revenue target would result in a compound annual growth rate of 44%.</p>\n<p>The company said it expects to increase the number of customers with over $1 million in product revenue. Snowflake also guided to long-term operating margin of 10%-plus, lower than some analysts expected.</p>\n<p><b>Possible Threat From Amazon</b></p>\n<p>Snowflake in July announced support for digital advertising standard Unified ID 2.0.

The move comes as Googlephases out internet cookies for targeted advertising.</p>\n<p>Whether Amazon Web Services ratchets up competition remains a concern for SNOW stock. Plus, competition with privately held Databricks is heating up. A February funding round&nbsp;valued Databricks at $28 billion.</p>\n<p>Databricks, which uses&nbsp;artificial intelligence, is expected to launch its own IPO.</p>\n<p>Snowflake stock bulls point to its seasoned management team as a strength no matter what unfolds.</p>\n<p>Two former Oracle engineers — Benoit Dageville and Thierry Cruanes — along with Marcin Zukowski, former chief executive of startup Vectorwise, started Snowflake in 2012.

The cloud computing titans offer their own data analytics and management tools.\nIn a \"coopetition\" model, the cloud giants give their customers a green light to buy Snowflake's (SNOW) software. The reason is Snowflake's tools are better at some key tasks, such as letting companies compile, view, analyze and share massive amounts of data in an easy way.\nNearly two-fifths of Fortune 500 companies use Snowflake's software in the cloud as they move away from on-premise data warehousing products from Teradata (TDC), Oracle (ORCL) and IBM (IBM).\nOne Snowflake customer is pharma giant Pfizer (PFE). Pfizer uses Snowflake tools to forecast product sales and to gain insights into the distribution of the Covid-19 vaccine.\nSnowflake Stock: Competition Increasing From Google Cloud?\nStellar customer growth enabled SNOW stock to pull off the largest initial public offering ever by a software company in September 2020. The IPO raised $3.4 billion.\nBut is Snowflake a buy right now? After a tough start to 2021, software growth stocks have rebounded. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF rose 3.4% in July and 8.7% in June.\nSnowflake reports second-quarter earnings on Aug. 25. Analysts project a loss of 15 cents per share, with revenue jumping nearly 100% to $256.5 million.\nSnowflake stock tumbled Aug. 20 ahead of its earnings release. One report on the drop cited a Cleveland Research note to clients. The Cleveland Research report ostensibly points to increased competition from Google's cloud business.\nSnowflake stock hit an all-time high of 429 in early December. But SNOW stock swooned in late 2020 amid analyst concerns over its lofty valuation.\nAt a June 10 analyst day, Snowflake laid out a path to $10 billion in product revenue by fiscal 2029, which coincides with calendar 2028. The $10 billion revenue target would result in a compound annual growth rate of 44%.\nThe company said it expects to increase the number of customers with over $1 million in product revenue. Snowflake also guided to long-term operating margin of 10%-plus, lower than some analysts expected.\nPossible Threat From Amazon\nSnowflake in July announced support for digital advertising standard Unified ID 2.0. Advertising is one of Snowflake's largest verticals with customers representing a large percentage of players in the space, noted a RBC Capital report. The move comes as Googlephases out internet cookies for targeted advertising.\nWhether Amazon Web Services ratchets up competition remains a concern for SNOW stock. Plus, competition with privately held Databricks is heating up. A February funding round valued Databricks at $28 billion.\nDatabricks, which uses artificial intelligence, is expected to launch its own IPO.\nSnowflake stock bulls point to its seasoned management team as a strength no matter what unfolds.\nTwo former Oracle engineers — Benoit Dageville and Thierry Cruanes — along with Marcin Zukowski, former chief executive of startup Vectorwise, started Snowflake in 2012. The company holds patents in database architecture, data warehouses and other areas.\nSNOW Stock: ServiceNow Veterans Lead Company\nSnowflake brought in Frank Slootman as chief executive in May 2019. Slootman had stepped down as CEO of ServiceNow in early 2017. Former ServiceNow Chief Financial Officer Mike Scarpelli in 2019 also joined Snowflake in the same CFO position.\nUnlike legacy, on-premise data management systems, Snowflake's platform was built from the ground up for cloud computing. It provides 100% of its software over the internet.\nSnowflake customers can share data with their partners across multiple online storage systems using the company's data warehouse. Snowflake also enables easily searchable data to be shared among applications.\nSnowflake's data analytics tools became available on Amazon Web Services in 2015, Microsoft's Azure in 2018 and on Google's cloud platform in 2020.\nIn June, Snowflake partnered with C3.ai, Inc. (AI). The two companies will cooperate in offering artificial intelligence tools to companies.\nAmazon Web Services A 'Frenemy'\n\"While Snowflake is multi-cloud, it derives some 85% of its revenues from data analytics jobs deployed on Amazon Web Services, which is also Snowflake's biggest rival with AWS Redshift,\" UBS analyst Karl Keirstead said in a recent note to clients.\n\"This 'frenemy' relationship is critical to Snowflake's success,\" Keirstead went on to say. \"AWS benefits far more from Snowflake spending on compute and storage infrastructure resources than they lose in the form of foregone AWS Redshift revenues. Snowflake represents a dream customer and partner for AWS and Microsoft Azure.\"\nSnowflake has focused on six core markets, including financial services, health care and life sciences, retail and consumer packaged goods, advertising media and entertainment, technology, and the government sector.\nWhen Snowflake went public in September it used a dual-class share structure that gave its CEO and insiders super-voting rights. However, Snowflake eliminated the dual-class structure in March.\nSnowflake had been based in San Mateo, Calif. Amid the shift to remote work spurred by the coronavirus emergency, Snowflake in May said it no longer has a corporate headquarters. It designated Bozeman, Mont., as its principal executive office. Slootman and Scarpelli are based in Bozeman.\nSnowflake Stock Fundamental Analysis\nSoftware stocks typically trade as a multiple of forward-looking revenue growth.
