All told, BRK now holds more than 895M AAPL shares, translating into about 5.6% of all AAPL&#39;s outstanding shares.

Here, I will further the argument and explain why their compounding power is even more potent given: A) BRK&#39;s continued addition of AAPL shares as just mentioned above; and B) the aggressive repurchases at both places. I will revisit A in more detail in a late section. And in this section, I will examine B in more depth first.</p><p>Berkshire Hathaway had repurchased a significant amount of its own stock in recent years since it first announced a share repurchase program in 2011. As seen in the top panel of the chart below, in 2019, it repurchased about $2.2 billion of its own stock during the third quarter of that year, which set a record for the company at that time. After that, Berkshire Hathaway continued to repurchase its own stock aggressively. The buybacks totaled more than $24 billion for 2020. All told, its share counts (in terms of equivalent B shares) shrank from about 2.46B in 2018 to the current 2.20B shares, a more than 10% reduction in about ~ 3 years.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/295859ab99c2b4563e98191a71a21dfd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"445\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha Data</p><p>AAPL&#39;s repurchase history is even longer and more aggressive, as you can see from the bottom panel of the plot above. AAPL has been buying back its shares at a steady and gigantic pace in the past decade. It has been spending on average about $20B on a QUARTERLY basis nonstop buying back its shares since 2013. As a result, the number of its outstanding shares dropped from ~27 billion shares in 2013 to only 15.96B shares now, a reduction of ~41%. As its CFO Luca Maestri expressed in a recent earning report (&#34;ER&#34;) session, the company has no plan to deaccelerate this pace. As seen in the quote from this ER below, (Note: The quote has been slightly edited for clarity and emphasis by me), buybacks will be the main mechanism for AAPL to get to cash-neutral. And with $110+ billion of free cash flow per year, that means A LOT of buybacks going forward.</p><blockquote><i>In terms of cash deployment, obviously, we like to look at the capital return program over the long arc of time. And we have done, since the beginning of the program, </i><i><b>we&#39;ve done over $550 billion of buyback at an average repurchase price of $47</b></i><i>. So, the program has been incredibly successful.</i></blockquote><blockquote><i>We are still in a position where we have net cash. And we said all along, we want to get to cash-neutral at some point. </i><i><b>Our cash generation has been very, very strong over the years, particularly last year…</b></i><i> I mentioned in the prepared remarks, </i><i><b>we did $111 billion of free cash flow. That&#39;s up 20% year-over-year.</b></i><i> And so, we will put that capital to use for investors.</i></blockquote><h2>The Overpowered Double Buyback</h2><p>After examining their buybacks separately above, now let me show why the double buybacks, especially when combined with BRK&#39;s continued addition of AAPL shares, would be even more overpowering. In his 2021 shareholder letter, Buffett already discussed the overpowering nature of these transactions. The quote below is again slightly edited for clarity and emphasis by me.</p><blockquote><i>Apple - our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value - is a different sort of holding. Here,</i></blockquote><blockquote><i>our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier. That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each</i> <i>0.1%</i> <i>of Apple&#39;s 2021 earnings amounted to</i> <i>$100 million. </i><i><b>We spent</b></i> <b><i>no</i></b> <b><i>Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple&#39;s repurchases did the job</i></b><i>. It&#39;s important to understand that only</i> <i>dividends</i> <i>from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports - and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our &#34;share&#34; of Apple&#39;s earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6</i> <i>billion. </i><i><b>Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud.</b></i></blockquote><p>Next, I will elaborate along this line of thought, and project the outcomes in a couple of years if these transactions continue. My projections are summarized in the next table below. These estimates were based on a few simple assumptions. Justifications for these assumptions are scattered in my earlier articles. So here I think it is a good idea to briefly summarize them in one place.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/305563157dabff1cced227df92455dd9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"162\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Author Based on Seeking Alpha Data</p><p>Regarding AAPL, the key assumptions are:</p><ol><li>It will continue using a constant percentage of its operating cash flow for share repurchases (and the percentage was assumed to be 78%, which is the average in recent years).</li><li>The company&#39;s profits are projected to grow at a 7.4% CAGR according to consensus estimates (see the second chart below). Although as repeatedly argued in my earlier articles, I think a 7.4% growth rate is a bit conservative given AAPL&#39;s ROCE of 100%+, plenty of cash for reinvestment rate, and its pricing power to easily beat the inflation factor.</li><li>I also assumed the average repurchase price to be 20x its operating cash flow.</li></ol><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1da53996c993365274733af43df46fbe\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"260\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Author Based on Seeking Alpha Data</p><p>As for BRK, the key assumptions are parallel to those invoked for AAPL above. And the differences are in the specific numbers. First, the percentage of operating income spent on repurchases is taken to be 68%, which is the average between 2019 and 2022. Second, the repurchase price is assumed to be its book value (&#34;BV&#34;) plus 8x of its operating cash flow. See my earlier analysis for details of this valuation model.</p><p>Based on these assumptions, AAPL&#39;s outstanding shares are projected to decrease by another 18.0% over the next 5 years. At the same time, BRK&#39;s share count is projected to shrink by another 11.6%. As a result, BRK ownership of AAPL would increase from the current 5.6% to 6.8%, a 1.2% increase. Buffett did a good job above to contextualize such an increase: each 0.1% of AAPL earnings amounts to over $100 million. So, a 1.2% increase translates into an additional $1.2B of ownership of AAPL&#39;s earnings!</p><p>When growth is considered, BRK&#39;s ownership of AAPL&#39;s earnings would reach a staggering $11.3 billion in five years, as highlighted in the 6th row highlighted in red and bold. This represents an almost 80% (79.1% to be more exact) increase in BRK&#39;s claim to AAPL&#39;s total earnings compared to its current share of $6.3 billion - all thanks to the overpowering combo of their repurchases and BRK&#39;s addition of AAPL shares. Notably, the 79.1% increase is much more than the simple sum of their individual repurchases (18.0% for AAPL and 11.6% for BRK). That is why in my view, this is a textbook example of 1+1&gt;2.</p><h2>The 4% Buyback Taxes and Final Thoughts</h2><p>Risks specific to either company have been discussed by many other SA authors, and I won&#39;t further add on here. Here, I will concentrate on the risks specific to the type A and B transactions (i.e., BRK&#39;s ownership of AAPL shares and their buybacks) analyzed in this article.</p><p>A main risk involves the possibility of a higher buyback tax. President Biden recently proposed quadrupling the 1% tax on stock buybacks (with the intention of encouraging companies to invest more in growth instead of boosting the returns for shareholders). Such a proposal, if indeed signed into law, could impact the potency of the double buybacks. And the following results are my estimate of the potential impact.</p><p>As seen, under the same assumptions made before, a 4% tax is projected to cause AAPL to pay a total of $21.03B in taxes in the next 5 years on its repurchases and BRK is projected to pay a total of $3.58B. And their amount spent on repurchases would shrink by these corresponding amounts. These are certainly substantial amounts. However, the overall impact would be minor for both companies. To wit, with a 4% buyback tax, AAPL&#39;s share shrinkage is projected to be 17.4% in 5 years, slightly lower than the 18.0% projected without the tax hike. And BRK&#39;s share shrinkage is projected to be 11.1%, again also lower than the 11.6% projected without the tax hike.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0027eb24568a4c58bdbee0f748220732\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"134\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Author Based on Seeking Alpha Data</p><p>To conclude, as quintessential perpetual compounders, BRK and AAPL are both good companies to hold for the long term in their own right. When considered together, they just become even more overpowering. Consider a final detail from my above projections, BRK&#39;s claim to AAPL&#39;s earnings would exceed $11.3 billion in 5 years if current buybacks continue. And BRK&#39;s operating cash flow has been &#34;only&#34; about $20 billion in recent years. When that time comes, AAPL won&#39;t be BRK&#39;s runner-up 4th giant. It would be BRK&#39;s largest cash cow.</p><p>That is why, as a BRK and AAPL shareholder, I don&#39;t worry about overexposure. Instead, I wish their current transactions to continue and become an even more concentrated owner of both companies&#39; shares.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Berkshire Hathaway And Apple: Even More Overpowered As Buffett Buys More</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\">\nBerkshire Hathaway And Apple: Even More Overpowered As Buffett Buys More\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-02-16 15:32 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4578615-berkshire-hathaway-and-apple-even-more-overpowered-as-buffett-buys-more><strong>Seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryBerkshire Hathaway’s latest 13F disclosure reveals that Warren Buffett kept adding Apple shares to its already enormous position.In the meantime, both Apple and Berkshire have announced plans ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4578615-berkshire-hathaway-and-apple-even-more-overpowered-as-buffett-buys-more\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BRK.A":"伯克希尔","AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4578615-berkshire-hathaway-and-apple-even-more-overpowered-as-buffett-buys-more","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2311466571","content_text":"SummaryBerkshire Hathaway’s latest 13F disclosure reveals that Warren Buffett kept adding Apple shares to its already enormous position.In the meantime, both Apple and Berkshire have announced plans to continue share buybacks.These transactions make the Apple-Berkshire combination overpowered.Returning capital via these transactions is far better for shareholders of both companies (than say dividends).

As its CFO Luca Maestri expressed in a recent earning report (\"ER\") session, the company has no plan to deaccelerate this pace. As seen in the quote from this ER below, (Note: The quote has been slightly edited for clarity and emphasis by me), buybacks will be the main mechanism for AAPL to get to cash-neutral. And with $110+ billion of free cash flow per year, that means A LOT of buybacks going forward.In terms of cash deployment, obviously, we like to look at the capital return program over the long arc of time. And we have done, since the beginning of the program, we've done over $550 billion of buyback at an average repurchase price of $47. So, the program has been incredibly successful.We are still in a position where we have net cash. And we said all along, we want to get to cash-neutral at some point. Our cash generation has been very, very strong over the years, particularly last year… I mentioned in the prepared remarks, we did $111 billion of free cash flow. That's up 20% year-over-year. And so, we will put that capital to use for investors.The Overpowered Double BuybackAfter examining their buybacks separately above, now let me show why the double buybacks, especially when combined with BRK's continued addition of AAPL shares, would be even more overpowering. In his 2021 shareholder letter, Buffett already discussed the overpowering nature of these transactions. The quote below is again slightly edited for clarity and emphasis by me.Apple - our runner-up Giant as measured by its yearend market value - is a different sort of holding. Here,our ownership is a mere 5.55%, up from 5.39% a year earlier. That increase sounds like small potatoes. But consider that each 0.1% of Apple's 2021 earnings amounted to $100 million. We spent no Berkshire funds to gain our accretion. Apple's repurchases did the job. It's important to understand that only dividends from Apple are counted in the GAAP earnings Berkshire reports - and last year, Apple paid us $785 million of those. Yet our \"share\" of Apple's earnings amounted to a staggering $5.6 billion. Much of what the company retained was used to repurchase Apple shares, an act we applaud.Next, I will elaborate along this line of thought, and project the outcomes in a couple of years if these transactions continue. My projections are summarized in the next table below. These estimates were based on a few simple assumptions. Justifications for these assumptions are scattered in my earlier articles. So here I think it is a good idea to briefly summarize them in one place.Author Based on Seeking Alpha DataRegarding AAPL, the key assumptions are:It will continue using a constant percentage of its operating cash flow for share repurchases (and the percentage was assumed to be 78%, which is the average in recent years).The company's profits are projected to grow at a 7.4% CAGR according to consensus estimates (see the second chart below). Although as repeatedly argued in my earlier articles, I think a 7.4% growth rate is a bit conservative given AAPL's ROCE of 100%+, plenty of cash for reinvestment rate, and its pricing power to easily beat the inflation factor.I also assumed the average repurchase price to be 20x its operating cash flow.Author Based on Seeking Alpha DataAs for BRK, the key assumptions are parallel to those invoked for AAPL above. And the differences are in the specific numbers. First, the percentage of operating income spent on repurchases is taken to be 68%, which is the average between 2019 and 2022. Second, the repurchase price is assumed to be its book value (\"BV\") plus 8x of its operating cash flow. See my earlier analysis for details of this valuation model.Based on these assumptions, AAPL's outstanding shares are projected to decrease by another 18.0% over the next 5 years. At the same time, BRK's share count is projected to shrink by another 11.6%. As a result, BRK ownership of AAPL would increase from the current 5.6% to 6.8%, a 1.2% increase. Buffett did a good job above to contextualize such an increase: each 0.1% of AAPL earnings amounts to over $100 million. So, a 1.2% increase translates into an additional $1.2B of ownership of AAPL's earnings!When growth is considered, BRK's ownership of AAPL's earnings would reach a staggering $11.3 billion in five years, as highlighted in the 6th row highlighted in red and bold. This represents an almost 80% (79.1% to be more exact) increase in BRK's claim to AAPL's total earnings compared to its current share of $6.3 billion - all thanks to the overpowering combo of their repurchases and BRK's addition of AAPL shares. Notably, the 79.1% increase is much more than the simple sum of their individual repurchases (18.0% for AAPL and 11.6% for BRK). That is why in my view, this is a textbook example of 1+1>2.The 4% Buyback Taxes and Final ThoughtsRisks specific to either company have been discussed by many other SA authors, and I won't further add on here. Here, I will concentrate on the risks specific to the type A and B transactions (i.e., BRK's ownership of AAPL shares and their buybacks) analyzed in this article.A main risk involves the possibility of a higher buyback tax. President Biden recently proposed quadrupling the 1% tax on stock buybacks (with the intention of encouraging companies to invest more in growth instead of boosting the returns for shareholders). Such a proposal, if indeed signed into law, could impact the potency of the double buybacks. And the following results are my estimate of the potential impact.As seen, under the same assumptions made before, a 4% tax is projected to cause AAPL to pay a total of $21.03B in taxes in the next 5 years on its repurchases and BRK is projected to pay a total of $3.58B. And their amount spent on repurchases would shrink by these corresponding amounts. These are certainly substantial amounts. However, the overall impact would be minor for both companies. To wit, with a 4% buyback tax, AAPL's share shrinkage is projected to be 17.4% in 5 years, slightly lower than the 18.0% projected without the tax hike. And BRK's share shrinkage is projected to be 11.1%, again also lower than the 11.6% projected without the tax hike.Author Based on Seeking Alpha DataTo conclude, as quintessential perpetual compounders, BRK and AAPL are both good companies to hold for the long term in their own right. When considered together, they just become even more overpowering. Consider a final detail from my above projections, BRK's claim to AAPL's earnings would exceed $11.3 billion in 5 years if current buybacks continue. And BRK's operating cash flow has been \"only\" about $20 billion in recent years. When that time comes, AAPL won't be BRK's runner-up 4th giant. It would be BRK's largest cash cow.That is why, as a BRK and AAPL shareholder, I don't worry about overexposure. Instead, I wish their current transactions to continue and become an even more concentrated owner of both companies' shares.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":25,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9954844876,"gmtCreate":1676273940095,"gmtModify":1676273943633,"author":{"id":"3569971237956537","authorId":"3569971237956537","name":"5D1T2","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4337cbcb700e1df3423e15a36e4d89b2","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/m/post/9954844876","repostId":"2310964924","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2310964924","pubTimestamp":1676266126,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2310964924?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-02-13 13:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Amazon Just Ceded This Massive Market to Walmart","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2310964924","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Amazon is raising its free grocery delivery order minimum and closing stores.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>There&#39;s no question that <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a> has changed the game in retail.</p><p>With a commitment to wide selection, fast delivery, and free returns, the company has made online shopping automatic for many Americans and still dominates e-commerce with close to 50% market share.</p><p>It&#39;s now the second-biggest company in the world by revenue just behind <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WMT\">Walmart</a>, but the e-commerce giant has long struggled to penetrate one of the largest categories in the retail industry: groceries.</p><p>Despite a wide range of attempts over the years to become a major player in the $800 billion U.S. grocery industry, Amazon&#39;s market share still pales in comparison to the top dogs, and one recent move shows it seems to be waving the white flag in the sector.</p><h2>A Fresh retreat</h2><p>Amazon launched its Fresh delivery service in 2007, but the company has long struggled to gain traction with it and turn a profit.</p><p>Now, Amazon is raising the free delivery order minimum for Fresh orders from $35 to $150, significantly limiting the number of orders that qualify for free Fresh delivery.</p><p>The move is one of many steps Amazon is taking to rein in costs and drive profitability, which includes laying off 18,000 corporate employees.

Businesses with pricing powerInflation is a headache for consumers and businesses alike.But it’s easy to forget that businesses with strong brands can charge higher prices to offset this inflation without suffering a fall in demand.Such businesses have what is known as “pricing power” as they hold the dominant mind-share of customers within their respective industries.By loading up on shares of such stocks, they can help you offset the effects of inflation.Take VICOM(SGX: WJP) for instance.The vehicle inspection company has a market share of close to 75% and had just raised its car inspection prices on 1 November by 5% from S$64.20 to S$67.41.With vehicle inspection being a mandatory requirement, vehicle owners will be unable to dodge this price increase.VICOM should therefore not expect inspection volumes to fall.For another example, coffee chain Starbucks(NASDAQ: SBUX), which operates around 35,000 outlets worldwide, saw its revenue for fiscal 2022 (ending 30 September) rise 11% year on year to a record US$32.3 billion.On the company’s earnings call, it mentioned that prices have increased by 6% and yet it has not seen a corresponding fall in customer loyalty or transactions.Cruise company Norwegian Cruise Lines(NYSE: NCLH) has also raised its prices to pass on higher costs to its customers, while the owner of SPAM, Hormel Foods(NYSE: HRL), is also targeting price increases as it grapples with inflation.These US companies managed to raise their prices to counteract the effects of high inflation and with their strong market positions, investors can be confident that they can continue to do so.2. No or low debtSurging interest rates are a bane for homeowners as mortgage loans become more expensive.For corporations with debt, higher rates also mean increased borrowing costs that eat into profits.Investors, though, can eschew debt-heavy companies in favour of those with either low or no debt.Businesses with little or zero debt are safe from rising interest rates and will not suffer the same level of financial stress as companies stuffed with loans.VICOM is in the spotlight once again for this attribute.The company has a clean balance sheet with S$58.7 million of cash with zero debt as of 30 September.Human resource company HRNetGroup(SGX: CHZ) is another cash-rich company with S$312.7 million of cash and no debt as of 30 June.Meanwhile, Micro-Mechanics (Holdings)(SGX: 5DD), a designer and manufacturer of parts and tools used to assemble semiconductors, was sitting on S$25.3 million of cash and had no debt as of 30 September.For something more familiar, your favourite curry puff seller, Old Chang Kee(SGX: 5ML), held S$30.1 million of cash with just S$4.7 million of borrowings for its latest half-year results.3. Recession-proofing your portfolioA recession could be on the cards for Singapore in 2023.Rather than feeling worried, investors should treat recessions as a normal part of the economic cycle and not feel fearful.Such events should be viewed as opportunities to scoop up shares of solid businesses that have been beaten down.But if you’re worried as to whether a recession will adversely impact your investments, it’s a good idea to stick with tried and tested blue-chip names.Yes, I am talking about stocks such as the three local banks DBS Group(SGX: D05), United Overseas Bank(SGX: U11) and OCBC Ltd(SGX: O39).These banks have been through numerous boom and bust cycles over the decades and have weathered these crises just fine.Singapore Exchange Limited(SGX: S68) is another solid business as it has a natural monopoly, being the only bourse operator here.These four stocks also pay out healthy dividends that can provide you with a stream of passive income as you wait for the storm clouds to clear up.Meanwhile, you can also pepper your portfolio with recession-resistant companies.Sheng Siong(SGX: OV8) is a supermarket retailer with 66 stores that provide a comprehensive range of food products, household items and necessities.Raffles Medical Group(SGX: BSL) and Q&M Dental Group(SGX: QC7) should also see steady demand during a downturn as both companies provide essential medical and dental services, respectively.4. Resilient US growth stocksUS indices have suffered a sharp fall this year but there are still businesses there that continue to thrive.Visa(NYSE: V) reported a strong set of earnings for its fiscal 2022, with revenue rising 22% year on year to US$29.3 billion and net profit climbing 21% year on year to US$14.9 billion.Despite the pandemic, yoga apparel maker Lululemon(NASDAQ: LULU) saw its revenue climb from US$3.98 billion to US$6.26 billion from 2020 to 2022 (the company has a January year-end).In addition, net profit increased from US$645.6 million to US$975.3 million over the same period.It pays to be selective and focus on businesses that generate healthy profits and continued free cash flow as these can enable them to better tide through tough times.5. Keeping cash handyFinally, you should always keep a reasonable stash of cash to act as an opportunity fund.As the saying goes – you can’t predict, but you can prepare.No one knows how markets will fare next year as there are too many moving parts at play.Therefore, it’s useful to keep cash handy to take advantage of any sharp sell-downs so that you can pick up your favourite stocks.Here’s wishing everyone a Happy New Year and may your investments turn out to be fruitful!","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9922903449,"gmtCreate":1671666145782,"gmtModify":1676538571953,"author":{"id":"3569971237956537","authorId":"3569971237956537","name":"5D1T2","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4337cbcb700e1df3423e15a36e4d89b2","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/m/post/9922903449","repostId":"1133139514","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1133139514","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing

it sees seve","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Here are Wednesday’s biggest calls on Wall Street:</p><h2>Citi reiterates Apple as buy</h2><p>Citi said it sees several reasons that Apple stock is likely trade higher.</p><blockquote>“More recently shares have been underperforming as concerns on production shortages during a very important holiday season as well as macro consumer woes (inflation, recession) could depress demand.”</blockquote><h2>Jefferies names McDonald’s a top 2023 pick</h2><p>Jefferies said the fast food giant is a top defensive idea for 2023.</p><blockquote>“We view MCD as the best defensive/offensive play in restaurants given a looming recession but also oppty to take share. 4Q likely to see continued strong U.S. demand trends and reset margin expectations (after 3Q) achievable, in our view.”</blockquote><h2>Jefferies downgrades Starbucks to hold from buy</h2><p>Jefferies said it sees a more “balanced” risk/reward outlook for the stock.</p><blockquote>“With SBUX stock up +40% since the YTD low in May (S&amp;P -2.8%), we move to the sidelines, with our Buy rating going to Hold, as the risk/reward now appears balanced following investments into the biz and growth concerns earlier this year.”</blockquote><h2>Evercore ISI reiterates Alphabet as outperform</h2><p>Evercore lowered its estimates on the stock but said it’s still “highly attractive” for long-term investors.</p><blockquote>“Consistent with our recently published ’23 Outlook report, we are lowering our estimates and Price Target on GOOGL in the wake of several proprietary datapoints that suggest ongoing softness in Online Advertising and Cloud Computing demand.”</blockquote><h2>Citi reiterates Block as buy</h2><p>Citi said the company formerly known as Square presents a “compelling buying opportunity.”</p><blockquote>“Key to 2023 will be efficiency gains, tighter discretionary spend, and slower hiring, which has already resulted in 20%-25% expense reduction in the last two quarters.”</blockquote><h2>UBS reiterates Nike as buy</h2><p>UBS said Nike’s earnings growth potential is “underestimated” after thecompany’s earnings reporton Tuesday.</p><blockquote>“Nike’s investments in product innovation, supply chain speed, and digital are unlocking what is likely a multi-year period of above average growth.”</blockquote><h2>Wolfe downgrades Palantir to underperform from peer perform</h2><p>Wolfe downgraded the stock due to a lack of confidence and visibility.</p><blockquote>“We have watched PLTR decelerate its top line by 30 points while operating margins have contracted from the mid-30% range to the midteens over the past few years with FCF on the same trajectory.”</blockquote><h2>Wolfe downgrades Roblox to underperform from peer perform</h2><p>Wolfe said in its downgrade of Roblox that it has a lack of visibility right now.</p><blockquote>“On the back of disappointing November metrics that potentially provide concern in company execution and visibility, we downgrade to Underperform from Peer Perform prior.”</blockquote><h2>Truist names Amazon a top 2023 pick</h2><p>Truist said Amazon is well positioned for 2023.</p><blockquote>“All that said, not all Internet companies are created equal, making 2023 a year particularly suited for stock picking, in our view.”</blockquote><h2>Deutsche Bank reiterates Tesla as buy</h2><p>Deutsche cut its price target on Tesla to $270 per share from $355, but said the stock is still best positioned going forward.</p><blockquote>“Beyond the quarter, we continue to expect challenging headlines around demand softening and associated price cuts, but think the company remains best positioned to weather the current macroeconomic conditions, leveraging price to support volume growth and various cost levers in place to protect margins.”</blockquote><h2>KeyBanc reiterates Disney as overweight</h2><p>KeyBanc said it thinks the entertainment giant has strong fundamentals.</p><blockquote>“We believe DIS has the best fundamentals with superior growth, unique assets, and a platform in Streaming.”</blockquote><h2>KeyBanc reiterates Netflix as sector weight</h2><p>KeyBanc said it’s staying “cautious” on Netflix shares right now.</p><blockquote>“We continue to see signs that churn is stabilizing (e.g., price sensitivity reverting to norms), but are incrementally cautious on gross adds.”</blockquote><h2>Stifel reiterates Target and Walmart as hold</h2><p>Stifel said its recent survey checks show holiday spending intentions are worsening.</p><blockquote>“We anticipate this to further impact already challenged general merchandise sales for many retailers, and we reduce F2023 EPS estimates for shares of Walmart and Target accordingly.”</blockquote><h2>Citi reiterates Micron as buy</h2><p>Citi said the stock’s bottom “is here” heading into earnings on Wednesday.</p><blockquote>“Micron is currently trading at 1.2X F23 book value, close to trough valuation of 1X book.”</blockquote><h2>Goldman Sachs reiterated FedEx as buy</h2><p>Goldman said it’s standing by shares of FedEx after the company reported earnings that weren’t as bad as feared.</p><blockquote>“Results beat due to stronger Ground and Express margin and EBIT, while Express’ adjusted operating income came in somewhat light versus our forecast it beat Street consensus by 60% – which could be a factor behind shares performing well in after hours trading.”</blockquote><h2>Baird reiterates Meta as outperform</h2><p>Baird named the stock as a top pick for 2023 and said it should gain some “mojo” back.</p><blockquote>“We think Meta will gain back some momentum in 2023 on the back of improvements in user engagement (e.g., Reels), along with more automation (e.g., Advantage+), and further growth in shopping and click-to-message ads.”</blockquote></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta

important holiday season as well as macro consumer woes (inflation, recession) could depress demand.”</blockquote><h2>Jefferies names McDonald’s a top 2023 pick</h2><p>Jefferies said the fast food giant is a top defensive idea for 2023.</p><blockquote>“We view MCD as the best defensive/offensive play in restaurants given a looming recession but also oppty to take share. 4Q likely to see continued strong U.S. demand trends and reset margin expectations (after 3Q) achievable, in our view.”</blockquote><h2>Jefferies downgrades Starbucks to hold from buy</h2><p>Jefferies said it sees a more “balanced” risk/reward outlook for the stock.</p><blockquote>“With SBUX stock up +40% since the YTD low in May (S&amp;P -2.8%), we move to the sidelines, with our Buy rating going to Hold, as the risk/reward now appears balanced following investments into the biz and growth concerns earlier this year.”</blockquote><h2>Evercore ISI reiterates Alphabet as outperform</h2><p>Evercore lowered its estimates on the stock but said it’s still “highly attractive” for long-term investors.</p><blockquote>“Consistent with our recently published ’23 Outlook report, we are lowering our estimates and Price Target on GOOGL in the wake of several proprietary datapoints that suggest ongoing softness in Online Advertising and Cloud Computing demand.”</blockquote><h2>Citi reiterates Block as buy</h2><p>Citi said the company formerly known as Square presents a “compelling buying opportunity.”</p><blockquote>“Key to 2023 will be efficiency gains, tighter discretionary spend, and slower hiring, which has already resulted in 20%-25% expense reduction in the last two quarters.”</blockquote><h2>UBS reiterates Nike as buy</h2><p>UBS said Nike’s earnings growth potential is “underestimated” after thecompany’s earnings reporton Tuesday.</p><blockquote>“Nike’s investments in product innovation, supply chain speed, and digital are unlocking what is likely a multi-year period of above average growth.”</blockquote><h2>Wolfe downgrades Palantir to underperform from peer perform</h2><p>Wolfe downgraded the stock due to a lack of confidence and visibility.</p><blockquote>“We have watched PLTR decelerate its top line by 30 points while operating margins have contracted from the mid-30% range to the midteens over the past few years with FCF on the same trajectory.”</blockquote><h2>Wolfe downgrades Roblox to underperform from peer perform</h2><p>Wolfe said in its downgrade of Roblox that it has a lack of visibility right now.</p><blockquote>“On the back of disappointing November metrics that potentially provide concern in company execution and visibility, we downgrade to Underperform from Peer Perform prior.”</blockquote><h2>Truist names Amazon a top 2023 pick</h2><p>Truist said Amazon is well positioned for 2023.</p><blockquote>“All that said, not all Internet companies are created equal, making 2023 a year particularly suited for stock picking, in our view.”</blockquote><h2>Deutsche Bank reiterates Tesla as buy</h2><p>Deutsche cut its price target on Tesla to $270 per share from $355, but said the stock is still best positioned going forward.</p><blockquote>“Beyond the quarter, we continue to expect challenging headlines around demand softening and associated price cuts, but think the company remains best positioned to weather the current macroeconomic conditions, leveraging price to support volume growth and various cost levers in place to protect margins.”</blockquote><h2>KeyBanc reiterates Disney as overweight</h2><p>KeyBanc said it thinks the entertainment giant has strong fundamentals.</p><blockquote>“We believe DIS has the best fundamentals with superior growth, unique assets, and a platform in Streaming.”</blockquote><h2>KeyBanc reiterates Netflix as sector weight</h2><p>KeyBanc said it’s staying “cautious” on Netflix shares right now.</p><blockquote>“We continue to see signs that churn is stabilizing (e.g., price sensitivity reverting to norms), but are incrementally cautious on gross adds.”</blockquote><h2>Stifel reiterates Target and Walmart as hold</h2><p>Stifel said its recent survey checks show holiday spending intentions are worsening.</p><blockquote>“We anticipate this to further impact already challenged general merchandise sales for many retailers, and we reduce F2023 EPS estimates for shares of Walmart and Target accordingly.”</blockquote><h2>Citi reiterates Micron as buy</h2><p>Citi said the stock’s bottom “is here” heading into earnings on Wednesday.</p><blockquote>“Micron is currently trading at 1.2X F23 book value, close to trough valuation of 1X book.”</blockquote><h2>Goldman Sachs reiterated FedEx as buy</h2><p>Goldman said it’s standing by shares of FedEx after the company reported earnings that weren’t as bad as feared.</p><blockquote>“Results beat due to stronger Ground and Express margin and EBIT, while Express’ adjusted operating income came in somewhat light versus our forecast it beat Street consensus by 60% – which could be a factor behind shares performing well in after hours trading.”</blockquote><h2>Baird reiterates Meta as outperform</h2><p>Baird named the stock as a top pick for 2023 and said it should gain some “mojo” back.</p><blockquote>“We think Meta will gain back some momentum in 2023 on the back of improvements in user engagement (e.g., Reels), along with more automation (e.g., Advantage+), and further growth in shopping and click-to-message ads.”</blockquote></body></html>\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果","SBUX":"星巴克","MCD":"麦当劳","WMT":"沃尔玛","DIS":"迪士尼","NFLX":"奈飞","PLTR":"Palantir

and FedEx quarterly earnings, as well as improving consumer confidence and easing inflation expectations from investors.</p><p>Nike Inc shares soared 12% after beating profit expectations for its second quarter on strong holiday demand from North American shoppers, while FedEx finished up 3.4% and shares in cruise operator Carnival Corp jumped 4.7% after posting a smaller-than-expected quarterly loss.</p><p>FedEx Corp, which sparked a market selloff in September after pulling financial forecasts, provided financial guidance and announced plans for $1 billion cost cuts.</p><p>Also, U.S. consumer confidence rose to an eight-month high in December as inflation retreated and the labor market remained strong while 12-month inflation expectations fell to 6.7%, the lowest since September 2021.</p><p>&#34;We&#39;re seeing a broad rally. It&#39;s been helped by upbeat corporate commentary and an improvement in consumer confidence,&#34; said Angelo Kourkafas, investment strategist at Edward Jones in St. Louis referring to Nike and FedEx.</p><p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 526.74 points, or 1.6%, to 33,376.48, the S&amp;P 500    gained 56.82 points, or 1.49%, to 3,878.44 and the Nasdaq Composite added 162.26 points, or 1.54%, to 10,709.37.</p><p>Energy firms were the biggest gainers among the S&amp;P&#39;s 11 major industry sector, adding 1.89%, as oil futures rose.</p><p>The smallest gainer among the sectors was consumer staples, which finished up 0.8%.</p><p>Still, Wednesday&#39;s data also showed that U.S. existing home sales slumped 7.7% to a 2-1/2-year low in November as the housing market was hurt by higher mortgage rates.

So far what we've seen this year has already priced in a mild recession.\"AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc finished up 4.3% after the cinema-chain operator said it suspended talks to acquire certain assets of bankrupt Cineworld Group.Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 3.43-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 2.10-to-1 ratio favored advancers.The S&P 500 posted 5 new 52-week highs and 3 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 69 new highs and 268 new lows.On U.S. exchanges 9.81 billion shares changed hands, compared with the 11.16 billion average for the last 20 sessions.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":27,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9921660729,"gmtCreate":1671054721762,"gmtModify":1676538481383,"author":{"id":"3569971237956537","authorId":"3569971237956537","name":"5D1T2","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4337cbcb700e1df3423e15a36e4d89b2","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/m/post/9921660729","repostId":"1121831718","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1121831718","pubTimestamp":1671047310,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1121831718?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-12-15 03:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Powell Says Fed Still Has a \"Ways to Go\" After Half-Point Hike","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1121831718","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"‘Ongoing’ increases are seen as FOMC maintains languageOfficials cut 2023 GDP forecasts, raise unemp","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>‘Ongoing’ increases are seen as FOMC maintains language</li><li>Officials cut 2023 GDP forecasts, raise unemployment</li></ul><p>Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said officials were not close to ending their aggressive campaign of interest-rate increases after officials signaled borrowing costs would head higher than expected next year.</p><p>“We still have some ways to go,” he said at a press conference on Wednesday in Washington after the central bank downshifted its rapid pace hikes.
