the same award category last year.</p><p>The SIAS Investors’ Choice Awards, which recognises excellence in companies and individuals adopting good corporate governance practices, took place at Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre on Nov 8.<br/>     <br/>Ian Leong, CEO of Tiger Brokers (Singapore), says: “We are proud and honoured to receive this award, as it underscores our commitment to delivering exceptional service and continuously enhancing our platform for our clients.<br/>     <br/>“This is a timely reminder for us to persist in our efforts and reaffirms our belief that we are on the right track as we enhance the trading experience for retail investors, in line with their evolving needs.”</p><p>Tiger Brokers first commenced operations in Singapore in 2018. It was also the only online brokerage firm to be accorded an award at last year’s event, highlighting its distinct lead over competitors in the same space. <br/> <br/>Against the backdrop of an increasingly competitive market, and more demanding traders, what makes Tiger Brokers (Singapore) stand out to consumers?</p><h2 id=\"id_1090570318\">Placing customers first</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c003a56ce6756532ddf3e5fc7c1794d9\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"1080\"/></p><p>Service excellence is one of the key ways Tiger Brokers (Singapore) distinguishes itself from its competitors. At the company, all customer-facing staff undergo monthly training programmes where they get to role-play and receive one-on-one coaching to hone their customer service skills. This empowers the staff to address customers’ concerns and resolve issues swiftly.</p><p>Shares Leong: “We understand that navigating trading platforms can be challenging, whether as a novice or an experienced trader who is transitioning from another brokerage. To help clients on their journey, we’ve made step-by-step user guides and FAQs readily available at all customer touch points, including websites, our partner channels and customer support centre.”</p><p>Such attention to customer experience won the online brokerage an accolade for Singapore Best Customer Service in the Singapore Best Customer Service 2023/24, under the sub-category of trading and brokerage services. This marked Tiger Brokers (Singapore)’s second win in the annual survey conducted by The Straits Times and research firm Statista.</p><h2 id=\"id_1634555648\">Enhancing trading experience through tech </h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e6e32a329f83a39d1eff033448ca300b\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"1440\" tg-height=\"1080\"/></p><p>To enhance the trading experience for its 2.1 million customers, Tiger Brokers continually invests in digital innovation.  </p><p>Via its multi-asset mobile trading platform Tiger Trade, investors can access over 230,000 equities in the US, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia, 8,700 options, as well as a wide variety of investment products including futures, REITs and funds. </p><p>In August, Tiger Brokers (Singapore) launched its AI-powered chatbot, TigerGPT, to help investors with their investing research and analysis. It is the latest in continuous efforts to leverage technology to improve its offerings and improve the investor experience through innovation.</p><p>The Tiger Trade 8.0 app was launched in July last year in conjunction with Tiger Brokers’ 8th anniversary. New features include a customisable homepage, the Tiger Vault cash management tool and a movers and shakers page that interprets abnormal movement of stocks. </p><p>Says Leong: “As trading applications become more technologically advanced, we have also leveraged AI and data analytics to optimise the user experience on the Tiger Trade mobile trading app. By doing this, we hope to make it easier for traders to execute and monitor their trades seamlessly anytime, anywhere.” </p><p>For its focus on innovation, Tiger Brokers (Singapore) also bagged the Fintech - Financial Services Award at the 2023 SBR Technology Excellence Awards.</p><h2 id=\"id_2797942005\">Giving customers peace of mind</h2><p>Registered and licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), Tiger Brokers (Singapore) adopts a stringent approach for risk management and corporate governance.</p><p>Client assets are safeguarded in ringfenced custody accounts and kept in trust by an appointed trustee.

President Joe Bi","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s Warren Buffett has been in touch with senior officials in President Joe Biden’s administration in recent days as the regional banking crisis unfolds.</p><p>The outreach between Buffett and the administration was described by people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. It wasn’t immediately clear what role, if any, the billionaire investor may play to contain the crisis after the failures of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and Silvergate Capital Corp.</p><p>Buffett has a long history of stepping in to aid banks in crisis, leveraging his cult investing status and financial heft to restore confidence in ailing firms. Bank of America Corp. won a capital injection from Buffett in 2011 after its stock plunged amid losses tied to subprime mortgages. Buffett also tossed a $5 billion lifeline to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in 2008 to shore up the bank following Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s collapse.</p><p>Representatives for Berkshire Hathaway and the White House didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Officials at the US Treasury Department declined to comment.</p><p>US regulators unveiled extraordinary measures to assuage customers last weekend, promising to fully pay out uninsured deposits in the failed banks. Shares in regional banks continued to fall this week on fears the pain would spread.</p><p>Biden’s team, wary of political blowback, has moved to orchestrate backstops that don’t require direct government spending from taxpayers, including the Federal Reserve’s actions. Big US banks voluntarily deposited $30 billion to stabilize First Republic Bank this week, a move regulators described as “most welcome.” Any investment or intervention from Buffett or other figures would continue that playbook, looking to stem the crisis without direct bailouts.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1584095487587","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

It wasn’t immediately clear what role, if any, the billionaire investor may play to contain the crisis after the failures of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and Silvergate Capital Corp.Buffett has a long history of stepping in to aid banks in crisis, leveraging his cult investing status and financial heft to restore confidence in ailing firms. Bank of America Corp. won a capital injection from Buffett in 2011 after its stock plunged amid losses tied to subprime mortgages. Buffett also tossed a $5 billion lifeline to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in 2008 to shore up the bank following Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s collapse.Representatives for Berkshire Hathaway and the White House didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Officials at the US Treasury Department declined to comment.US regulators unveiled extraordinary measures to assuage customers last weekend, promising to fully pay out uninsured deposits in the failed banks. Shares in regional banks continued to fall this week on fears the pain would spread.Biden’s team, wary of political blowback, has moved to orchestrate backstops that don’t require direct government spending from taxpayers, including the Federal Reserve’s actions. Big US banks voluntarily deposited $30 billion to stabilize First Republic Bank this week, a move regulators described as “most welcome.” Any investment or intervention from Buffett or other figures would continue that playbook, looking to stem the crisis without direct bailouts.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":70,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9943115089,"gmtCreate":1679274118541,"gmtModify":1679274122502,"author":{"id":"3570656625926041","authorId":"3570656625926041","name":"Alfred1007","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81d8406380cbc0525927f00a9510f2fa","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Felt they are just playing around with the public money","listText":"Felt they are just playing around with the public money","text":"Felt they are just playing around with the public money","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9943115089","repostId":"1175615302","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1175615302","pubTimestamp":1679226850,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1175615302?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-03-19 19:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"UBS Offers to Buy Credit Suisse for up to $1bn","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1175615302","media":"Financial Times","summary":"Swiss authorities expected to change country’s law to bypass UBS shareholder voteThe all-share deal ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Swiss authorities expected to change country’s law to bypass UBS shareholder vote</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/33cbe0014fec305819d4a683ebe57c75\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"394\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>The all-share deal between Switzerland’s two biggest banks will be priced at a fraction of Credit Suisse’s closing price on Friday © AFP via Getty Images</span></p><p>UBS has offered to buy Credit Suisse for up to $1bn, with Swiss authorities planning to change the country’s laws to bypass a shareholder vote on the transaction as they rush to finalise a deal before Monday.</p><p>The all-share deal between Switzerland’s two biggest banks is set to be signed as soon as Sunday evening and will be priced at a fraction of Credit Suisse’s closing price on Friday, all but wiping out the target’s shareholders, four people with direct knowledge of the situation said.</p><p>The offer was communicated on Sunday morning with a price of SFr0.25 a share to be paid in UBS stock, far below Credit Suisse’s closing price of SFr1.86 on Friday, the people said.

For the Meta Quest Pro, which was touted at its launch as being geared towards businesses, that&#39;s a roughly 33% drop – and a noteworthy fall from the fanfare with which it was launched in conjunction with support from Microsoft (MSFT) and Accenture (ACN).</p><p>Waning consumer interest isn&#39;t a Meta-specific problem – the VR market, along with the games industry at-large, saw its 2022 sales drop 2% year-over-year to $1.1 billion, according to research from NDP. But the company&#39;s even struggled to keep even new headset owners interested in the product.

For the Meta Quest Pro, which was touted at its launch as being geared towards businesses, that's a roughly 33% drop – and a noteworthy fall from the fanfare with which it was launched in conjunction with support from Microsoft (MSFT) and Accenture (ACN).Waning consumer interest isn't a Meta-specific problem – the VR market, along with the games industry at-large, saw its 2022 sales drop 2% year-over-year to $1.1 billion, according to research from NDP. But the company's even struggled to keep even new headset owners interested in the product.

The wallet, which doesn’t have a name yet, will operate separately from Zelle, EWS said.</p><p>EWS, whose owners also include <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/COF\">Capital One Financial Corp.,</a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PNC\">PNC Financial Services GroupInc.,</a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/USB\">U.S. Bancorp</a>, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TFC\">Truist Financial Corp.,</a> plans to begin rolling out the new offering in the second half of the year.</p><p>One goal of the new service is to compete with third-party wallet operators such as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal Holdings Inc.</a>, and Apple Inc.’s Apple Pay, according to people familiar with the matter. Banks are worried about losing control of their customer relationships.Apple, in particular, poses a big threat. The tech giant has moved further into financial services and is working on a savings account with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GS\">Goldman Sachs Group Inc.</a> and a buy now, pay later offering.</p><p>EWS’s owner banks are also trying to cut down on fraud. Customers using their wallet wouldn’t have to type in their card numbers, which can raise the risk of fraud and rejected payments that result in lost sales.</p><p>The banks expect to enable 150 million debit and credit cards for use within the wallet when it rolls out. U.S. consumers who are up-to-date on payments, have used their card online in recent years and have provided an email address and phone number will be eligible.</p><p>The banks are still ironing out the details of the customer experience. It likely will involve consumers’ typing their email on a merchant’s checkout page. The merchant would ping EWS, which would use its back-end connections to banks to identify which of the consumer’s cards can be loaded onto the wallet. Consumers would then choose which card to use or could opt out.</p><p>EWS’s owners last year debated a plan to allowshoppers to use Zelle for online purchases, The Wall Street Journal previously reported. Concerns around fraud and the treatment of disputed transactions, which have caught the eye of lawmakers, contributed to the decision to not move forward.</p><p>The wallet is being designed to roll out with cards since that is how U.S. consumers are used to shopping.

The wallet, which doesn’t have a name yet, will operate separately from Zelle, EWS said.EWS, whose owners also include Capital One Financial Corp.,, PNC Financial Services GroupInc.,, U.S. Bancorp, and Truist Financial Corp., plans to begin rolling out the new offering in the second half of the year.One goal of the new service is to compete with third-party wallet operators such as PayPal Holdings Inc., and Apple Inc.’s Apple Pay, according to people familiar with the matter. Banks are worried about losing control of their customer relationships.Apple, in particular, poses a big threat. The tech giant has moved further into financial services and is working on a savings account with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and a buy now, pay later offering.EWS’s owner banks are also trying to cut down on fraud. Customers using their wallet wouldn’t have to type in their card numbers, which can raise the risk of fraud and rejected payments that result in lost sales.The banks expect to enable 150 million debit and credit cards for use within the wallet when it rolls out. U.S. consumers who are up-to-date on payments, have used their card online in recent years and have provided an email address and phone number will be eligible.The banks are still ironing out the details of the customer experience. It likely will involve consumers’ typing their email on a merchant’s checkout page. The merchant would ping EWS, which would use its back-end connections to banks to identify which of the consumer’s cards can be loaded onto the wallet. Consumers would then choose which card to use or could opt out.EWS’s owners last year debated a plan to allowshoppers to use Zelle for online purchases, The Wall Street Journal previously reported. Concerns around fraud and the treatment of disputed transactions, which have caught the eye of lawmakers, contributed to the decision to not move forward.The wallet is being designed to roll out with cards since that is how U.S. consumers are used to shopping. The banks figured it would increase the odds that more people would use the wallet.Should a sizable number of merchants enable the wallet and consumers adopt it, EWS banks could explore adding other payment options, EWS said. That could include enabling payments directly from bank accounts.The wallet will be launched with Visa Inc. and Mastercard Inc. debit and credit cards, EWS said. EWS reached out about the initiative to other card networks, including Discover Financial Services to gauge their interest in enabling their cards to be loaded onto the wallet.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":85,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9953316987,"gmtCreate":1673154755549,"gmtModify":1676538793210,"author":{"id":"3570656625926041","authorId":"3570656625926041","name":"Alfred1007","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81d8406380cbc0525927f00a9510f2fa","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Time for roller coaster again..are you ready for the ride?[Cool]&nbsp;[Cool]&nbsp;","listText":"Time for roller coaster again..are you ready for the ride?[Cool]&nbsp;[Cool]&nbsp;","text":"Time for roller coaster again..are you ready for the ride?[Cool] [Cool]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9953316987","repostId":"2301475181","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2301475181","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1673140820,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2301475181?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-01-08 09:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Earnings Season Will Test the Market’s Great Start","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2301475181","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Investors got their Goldilocks jobs report on Friday morning, with a growing-but-slowing labor marke","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Investors got their Goldilocks jobs report on Friday morning, with a growing-but-slowing labor market, a tick-up in participation, and a deceleration in the pace of wage gains.</p><p>It was the kind of release that makes an oft-wished-for soft landing seem almost possible.</p><p>If job growth can continue without fueling a wage-price spiral, then perhaps it won&#39;t take a recession to break the back of inflation, especially as increases in commodities and goods prices continue to reverse.

The market will be looking to December&#39;s consumer price index this coming Thursday as its next macro bogey -- one that will provide additional fodder for the Fed&#39;s next policy meeting in February. The rate of inflation is expected to fall to 6.5% year over year from 7.1% in November.</p><p>But it&#39;s not just about the economic data. This coming Friday brings the start of fourth-quarter earnings season, with some major companies -- JPMorgan Chase (ticker: JPM), Bank of America (BAC), UnitedHealth Group (UNH), and Delta Air Lines (DAL) among them -- kicking off the festivities. The vast majority of the S&amp;P 500 will report over the following month and a half.</p><p>Few are expecting a good fourth quarter. In aggregate, S&amp;P 500 companies are expected to report their first losing quarter since 2020. Earnings per share are forecast to decline by 2.2% year over year, to $53.87, after roughly 4.4% growth in the third quarter and 8.4% in the second quarter, per IBES data from Refinitiv. The consensus fourth-quarter outlook became much gloomier as 2022 proceeded -- at the start of last year, analysts had penciled in 14.1% year-over-year earnings growth for the period.</p><p>Analysts&#39; current estimate would bring 2022 S&amp;P 500 EPS to $219.80, which would be up 5.6% for the year. It&#39;s likely to end up a bit better than that, as most companies tend to beat consensus estimates. Revenue, though, is forecast to rise 4.1% year over year in the fourth quarter, to $3.7 trillion, and 11.2% for all of 2022, to $13.8 trillion. The fact that sales are rising but earnings are falling is a sign that corporate profit margins appear to have peaked for this cycle.</p><p>The earnings slump won&#39;t hit all companies equally. The energy and industrial sectors are expected to be outliers, delivering EPS growth of 65% and 43%, respectively, from a year earlier. Those are among the cyclically sensitive companies that suffered the most during the Covid-19 recession and are still enjoying the rebound.</p><p>On the opposite end of the spectrum are materials, where earnings are forecast to drop by 22% as prices of many industrial inputs have returned to earth; communication services, down 21% due to an expected drop in advertising spending and continued streaming losses at many media companies; and consumer discretionary, down 15% on potentially weaker spending in 2023. Tech, which makes up close to a quarter of the S&amp;P 500&#39;s EPS, is expected to show a 9% decline in earnings in the fourth quarter as wage costs balloon at many software companies, enterprise demand slows, and semiconductors remain in a downturn. Expectations are so low that the fourth-quarter results could be strong relative to forecasts.</p><p>But those beats might not matter if companies can&#39;t provide at least a decent outlook for 2023.</p><p>The bottom-up consensus -- gleaned by summing the average earnings estimates from all individual stock and sector analysts for each of the companies in the S&amp;P 500 -- is for EPS to grow by 4.4% to $229.52 in 2023, according to Refinitiv, up from about $220 in 2022. Conversely, the top-down view of Wall Street strategists surveyed by Barron&#39;s in December calls for a 2.7% decline in S&amp;P 500 profits in 2023 to an average of $214 per share.</p><p>The difference is in the profit margins. Strategists see them getting squeezed by rising wages and higher interest costs, even as the prices they charge customers moderate. That&#39;s largely in line with the Fed&#39;s view that some elements of inflation are sticky and will take time -- and economic pain -- to bring down. If that scenario plays out, the shift lower in earnings expectations would make the market appear pricier even as the Fed continues to increase interest rates.</p><p>Needless to say, that&#39;s not a winning combination for stocks -- no matter what the jobs report said.</p></body></html>","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>Earnings Season Will Test the Market’s Great Start</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\">\nEarnings Season Will Test the Market’s Great Start\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2023-01-08 09:20</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p>Investors got their Goldilocks jobs report on Friday morning, with a growing-but-slowing labor market, a tick-up in participation, and a deceleration in the pace of wage gains.</p><p>It was the kind of release that makes an oft-wished-for soft landing seem almost possible.</p><p>If job growth can continue without fueling a wage-price spiral, then perhaps it won&#39;t take a recession to break the back of inflation, especially as increases in commodities and goods prices continue to reverse.

In aggregate, S&P 500 companies are expected to report their first losing quarter since 2020. Earnings per share are forecast to decline by 2.2% year over year, to $53.87, after roughly 4.4% growth in the third quarter and 8.4% in the second quarter, per IBES data from Refinitiv. The consensus fourth-quarter outlook became much gloomier as 2022 proceeded -- at the start of last year, analysts had penciled in 14.1% year-over-year earnings growth for the period.Analysts' current estimate would bring 2022 S&P 500 EPS to $219.80, which would be up 5.6% for the year. It's likely to end up a bit better than that, as most companies tend to beat consensus estimates. Revenue, though, is forecast to rise 4.1% year over year in the fourth quarter, to $3.7 trillion, and 11.2% for all of 2022, to $13.8 trillion. The fact that sales are rising but earnings are falling is a sign that corporate profit margins appear to have peaked for this cycle.The earnings slump won't hit all companies equally. The energy and industrial sectors are expected to be outliers, delivering EPS growth of 65% and 43%, respectively, from a year earlier. Those are among the cyclically sensitive companies that suffered the most during the Covid-19 recession and are still enjoying the rebound.On the opposite end of the spectrum are materials, where earnings are forecast to drop by 22% as prices of many industrial inputs have returned to earth; communication services, down 21% due to an expected drop in advertising spending and continued streaming losses at many media companies; and consumer discretionary, down 15% on potentially weaker spending in 2023. Tech, which makes up close to a quarter of the S&P 500's EPS, is expected to show a 9% decline in earnings in the fourth quarter as wage costs balloon at many software companies, enterprise demand slows, and semiconductors remain in a downturn. Expectations are so low that the fourth-quarter results could be strong relative to forecasts.But those beats might not matter if companies can't provide at least a decent outlook for 2023.The bottom-up consensus -- gleaned by summing the average earnings estimates from all individual stock and sector analysts for each of the companies in the S&P 500 -- is for EPS to grow by 4.4% to $229.52 in 2023, according to Refinitiv, up from about $220 in 2022. Conversely, the top-down view of Wall Street strategists surveyed by Barron's in December calls for a 2.7% decline in S&P 500 profits in 2023 to an average of $214 per share.The difference is in the profit margins. Strategists see them getting squeezed by rising wages and higher interest costs, even as the prices they charge customers moderate. That's largely in line with the Fed's view that some elements of inflation are sticky and will take time -- and economic pain -- to bring down. If that scenario plays out, the shift lower in earnings expectations would make the market appear pricier even as the Fed continues to increase interest rates.Needless to say, that's not a winning combination for stocks -- no matter what the jobs report said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":72,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9927495101,"gmtCreate":1672551540903,"gmtModify":1676538704476,"author":{"id":"3570656625926041","authorId":"3570656625926041","name":"Alfred1007","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81d8406380cbc0525927f00a9510f2fa","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Waiting for rebound","listText":"Waiting for rebound","text":"Waiting for rebound","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9927495101","repostId":"1192361274","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1192361274","pubTimestamp":1672537784,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1192361274?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-01-01 09:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Elon Musk Becomes First Person Ever to Lose $200 Billion","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1192361274","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Elon Musk was the second person ever to amass a personal fortune of more than $200 billion, breachin","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/09d49d6f7c039ed735e53fb31c85f212\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"695\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Elon Musk was the second person ever to amass a personal fortune of more than $200 billion, breaching that threshold in January 2021, months afterJeff Bezos.</p><p>The Tesla Inc. chief executive officer has now achieved a first of his own: becoming the only person in history to erase $200 billion from their net worth.</p><p>Musk, 51, has seen his wealth plummet to $137 billion after Tesla shares tumbled in recent weeks, including an 11% drop on Tuesday, according to theBloomberg Billionaires Index.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also posted gains for the week.Russian missiles pounded Kyiv and families cowered in shelters on Friday, a day after Russia unleashed a three-pronged invasion of Ukraine in the biggest attack on a European state since World War Two.Investors also were assessing news that Russian President Vladimir Putin told his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in a call that Russia was willing to hold high-level talks with Ukraine, according to China's foreign ministry.Some strategists say stock-selling may have been overdone. The S&P 500 confirmed earlier this week it was in a correction when it ended down more than 10% from its Jan. 3 record closing high.\"It sure feels a lot more like we've really exhausted sentiment in this correction,\" said Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at The Leuthold Group in Minneapolis, noting that economic fundamentals and corporate health remain favorable.The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 834.92 points, or 2.51%, to 34,058.75, the S&P 500 gained 95.95 points, or 2.24%, to 4,384.65 and the Nasdaq Composite added 221.04 points, or 1.64%, to 13,694.62.For the week, the Dow was down 0.1%, the S&P 500 was up 0.8% and the Nasdaq was up 1.1%.The West on Thursday unveiled new sanctions on Russia, while NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said on Friday the alliance was deploying parts of its combat-ready response force and would continue to send weapons to Ukraine.\"In general, the sanctions are going to have some bite,\" but investors seem to be relieved that Washington dismissed the idea of going to war with Russia, said Kristina Hooper, chief global market strategist at Invesco.She said volatility should remain high in the coming days as events in Ukraine dictate market moves, but that focus eventually will turn back to the Federal Reserve and the outlook for interest rates.Some strategists noted that the sanctions announced Thursday targeted Russia's banks but left its energy sector largely untouched.Health care gave the S&P 500 its biggest boost.Shares of Johnson & Johnson climbed 5% after a U.S. judge ruled that the drugmaker's subsidiary can remain in bankruptcy, preventing plaintiffs from pursuing 38,000 lawsuits against the company alleging its baby powder and other talc products cause cancer.The Cboe Volatility index, Wall Street's fear gauge, ended down at 27.59.Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 4.29-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 2.63-to-1 ratio favored advancers.The S&P 500 posted 15 new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 39 new highs and 66 new lows.Volume on U.S. exchanges was 12.47 billion shares, compared with the 12.1 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":233,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"4102815868703010","authorId":"4102815868703010","name":"mster","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/81a8fe18bd419696551df5320d8db477","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"content":"Looking forward to 3rd week of March when Fed likely to announce interest hike.","text":"Looking forward to 3rd week of March when Fed likely to announce interest hike.","html":"Looking forward to 3rd week of March when Fed likely to announce interest hike."}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":880115798,"gmtCreate":1631024790814,"gmtModify":1676530446429,"author":{"id":"3570656625926041","authorId":"3570656625926041","name":"Alfred1007","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81d8406380cbc0525927f00a9510f2fa","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"There is no stock&nbsp;that should be hold forever, hold for long term should be the right term.","listText":"There is no stock&nbsp;that should be hold forever, hold for long term should be the right term.","text":"There is no stock that should be hold forever, hold for long term should be the right term.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/880115798","repostId":"2165041355","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2165041355","pubTimestamp":1631024400,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2165041355?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-07 22:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Growth Stocks to Buy and Hold Forever","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2165041355","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"They offer high growth, and while they're not risk-free, their stability means you can look beyond the risk to the rewards.","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>They offer high growth, and while they're not risk-free, their stability means you can look beyond the risk to the rewards.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>Key Points</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Airbnb's flexible business model means it can do well in most environments.</li>\n <li>Square continues to roll out new features as it disrupts traditional banking.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Successful investing is all about finding stocks that have the potential to appreciate in value and then holding on to them as they do.</p>\n<p>That's why most investing styles revolve around some form of choosing stocks that are either in high-growth phases or that trade beneath their real value.

The milestone follows the company's unveiling ofWindows 11, its first new version of the flagship operating system in more than five years, on Thursday morning.\nMicrosoft's value has doubled in two years' time, bolstered by demand for products such as the Teams chat app that kept organizations functioning during the coronavirus pandemic.\nThe appreciation of the company's stock price reflects a rejuvenated company, one that has looked beyond its dominant Windows operating system and found growth in cloud computing and acquisitions.\nMicrosoft stock has grown more than 600% since Satya Nadella replaced Steve Ballmer as the company's CEO in 2014. (During Ballmer's 14-year tenure as CEO, the company's stock fell 32%.) One of Nadella's first moves was to reveal that Office applications like Word and Excel were coming toApple's iOS andGoogle's Android, rather than restricting those apps to smartphones that ran Windows. A year later, when Windows 10 came out, it was a free update, unlike Windows 7 and Windows 8.\nNadella had run the division that includes Microsoft's Azure public cloud immediately before taking the CEO job, and it shows. In his years as CEO he has made public appearances to talk about uses of Azure at prominent customers such as the National Basketball Association, Volkswagen and Walgreens. Azure is on track to becomeMicrosoft's largest business.\nMicrosoft under Nadella has become gentler and more open to working with rivals where it makes sense. It improved relations with rivals such as Red Hat and Salesforce, and it has added the open-source Linux operating system, once seen as a threat to Windows, directly into Windows. On Thursday, the company announced Windows 11 will support apps that run Google's Android operating system, and Nadella spent the end of the company's presentation portraying Microsoft as afriendlier option for software developersthan Apple.\nThese days, venture investorBen Horowitz has said, Microsoft is a great company for start-ups to partner with, rather than an entity to be feared.\nNadella's Microsoft has managed to largely avoid antitrust scrutiny despite its past, which includes a landmark antitrust case brought by the U.S. Justice Department in 1998. Meanwhile,Amazon, Apple,Facebookand Google have all faced pressure from regulators during the Nadella years. However, team communication app makerSlackdid file an antitrust complaint in Europe last year after Microsoft introduced Teams and released it to clients that subscribe to the Office 365 bundle.\nMore recently, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, Ohio's Jim Jordan, sent a letter to Microsoft President Brad Smithsuggestingthat it might be covered by parts of five proposed antitrust bills making their way through committee.\nMicrosoft has spent more than $45 billion acquiring companies on Nadella's watch, including business social network LinkedIn, video game developers Mojang and Zenimax, and the code-storage service GitHub. Microsoft has largely left them to operate independently and grow. In April the companysaidit had agreed to acquire speech-recognition company Nuance for $19.7 billion, inclusive of equity and debt.\nNadella's deal track record has been more successful than that of his predecessor, whoseaQuantive and Nokiaacquisitions resulted in write-downs. Mojang's Minecraft game, by contrast, has become thebest-selling gamein history, and LinkedIn's quarterly revenue has nearly tripled.\nMicrosoft was among the first companies to exceed a $1 trillion valuation when ithit that milestonein April 2019.

But the chip sector has changed so much it really is different now – in ways that suggest it is less likely to crush you.</p>\n<p>You’d be a fool to think there are no risks. I’ll go over those. But first, here are the three main reasons why the group is “safer” now – and six names favored by the half-dozen sector experts I’ve talked with over the past several days.</p>\n<p><b>1. The wicked witch of cyclicality is dead</b></p>\n<p>“Demand in the chip sector was always boom and bust, driven by product cycles,” says David Winborne, a portfolio manager at Impax Asset Management. “<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FBNC\">First</a> PCs, then servers, then phones.” But now demand for chips has broadened across the economy so the secular growth story is more predictable, he says.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JE\">Just</a> look around you. Because of the increased “digitalization” of our lives and work, there’s greater diversity of end market demand from all angles. Think remote office services like <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZM\">Zoom</a>, online shopping, cloud services, electric vehicles, 5G phones, smart factories, big data computing and even washing machines, points out Hendi Susanto, a portfolio manager and tech analyst at Gabelli Funds who is bullish on the group.</p>\n<p>“There is no aspect of the modern digital economy that can function without semiconductors,” says Motley Fool chip sector analyst John Rotonti. “That means more chips going into everything. The long-term demand is there.”</p>\n<p>He’s not kidding. Chip sector revenue will double by 2030 to $1 trillion from $465 billion in 2020, predicts William&nbsp;Blair&nbsp;analyst Greg Scolaro.</p>\n<p>All of this means the widespread supply shortages you’ve been hearing about “likely won’t be cured until sometime late next year,” says <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BAC\">Bank of America</a> chip sector analyst Vivek Arya. “That’s not just our view, but <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> confirmed by a majority of large customers.”</p>\n<p><b>2. The players have consolidated</b></p>\n<p>All up and down the production chain, from design through the various types of equipment producers to manufacturing, industry players have consolidated down into what Rotonti calls “earned” duopolies or monopolies.</p>\n<p>In chip design software, you have Cadence Design Systems&nbsp;and Synopsys.In production equipment, companies dominate specialized niches like ASML&nbsp;in extreme ultraviolet lithography&nbsp;(EUV). Manufacturing is dominated by Taiwan Semiconductor&nbsp;and Samsung Electronics.</p>\n<p>These companies earned their niche or duopoly status by being the best at what they do. This makes them interesting for investors. The consolidation also means players behave more rationally in terms of pricing and production capacity, says Rotonti.</p>\n<p><b>3. Profitability has improved</b></p>\n<p>This more rational behavior, combined with cost cutting, means profitability is now much higher than it was historically. “The economics of chip making has improved massively over past few years,” says Winbourne. Cash flow or EBITDA margins are often now over 30% whereas a decade ago they were in the 20% range.</p>\n<p>This has implications for valuation. Though chip stocks trade at about a market multiple, they appear cheap because they are better companies, points out Lamar Villere, portfolio manager with Villere &amp; Co. “They are not trading at a frothy multiple.”</p>\n<p><b>The stocks to buy</b></p>\n<p>Here are six names favored by chip experts I recently checked in with.</p>\n<p><b>New management plays</b></p>\n<p>Though Peter Karazeris, a senior equity research analyst at Thrivent, has reasons to be cautious on the group (see below), he singles out two companies whose performance may get a boost because they are under new management: Qualcomm&nbsp;and ON Semiconductor.</p>\n<p>Both have solid profitability. Qualcomm was recently hit by one-off issues like bad weather in Texas that disrupted production, but the company has good exposure to the 5G phone trend. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ON\">ON Semiconductor</a> is expanding beyond phones into new areas like autos, industrial and the Internet of Things connected-device space.</p>\n<p><b>A data center and gaming play</b></p>\n<p>Karazeris also singles out Nvidia,which gets a continuing boost from its exposure to data center and gaming device chip demand — because of its superior design prowess.</p>\n<p><b>Design tool companies</b></p>\n<p>Speaking of design, when companies like Qualcomm and NVIDIA want to design chips, they turn to the design tools supplied by Cadence Design Systems and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNPS\">Synopsys</a>.</p>\n<p>Their software-based design tools help chip innovators create the blueprint for their chips, explains Rotonti at Motley Fool, who singles out these names. “They are not the fastest growers in the world, but they have good profit margins.” They also dominate the space.</p>\n<p><b>An EUV&nbsp;play</b></p>\n<p>To put those blueprints onto silicon in the early stages of chip production, companies like Taiwan Semiconductor and Samsung turn to ASML. Its machines use tiny bursts of light to stencil chip designs onto silicon wafers, in a process called extreme ultraviolet lithography. “No one else has figured out how to do it,” says Rotonti.</p>\n<p>In other words, it has a monopoly position in supplying machines that do this – which are necessary for any company that wants to make leading edge chips.</p>\n<p><b>Risks</b></p>\n<p>Here are some of the chief risks for chip sector investors to watch.</p>\n<p><b>Oversupply</b></p>\n<p>Chip production has become politicized. The U.S. wants more production at home so it is not vulnerable to disruptions in Chinese supply chains. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CAAS\">China</a> wants to make 70% of the chips it uses by 2025, up from 5% now, says Winborne.</p>\n<p>The upshot here is that there’s lots of government support to boost manufacturing – so there will be much more of it. The risk is oversupply at some point in the future. This might also create a pull forward in chip equipment purchases — leading to a lull down the road which could hurt sales and margin trends at equipment makers.</p>\n<p>Next, big tech companies like Alphabet,Apple&nbsp;and Ammazon.com&nbsp;are all doing their own chip design, which threatens specialized chip companies that do the same thing.</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QTM\">Quantum</a> computing</b></p>\n<p>Computers using chip designs based on quantum physics instead of traditional semiconductor architectures have superior performance, points out Scolaro at William Blair. “While it probably won’t become mainstream for at least another five years, quantum computing has the potential to transform everything from technology to healthcare.”</p>\n<p><b>A disturbing signal</b></p>\n<p>A blend of global purchasing managers (PMI) indexes peaked in April and then decelerated for three months. Meanwhile chip sales growth continued. Normally the two follow the same trend, points out Karazeris, who tracks this indicator at Thrivent. He chalks the divergence up to inventory building which is less sustainable than true end-market demand. So, he takes the divergence as a bearish signal for the chip sector.</p>\n<p>Another cautionary sign comes from the forecasted weakness in pricing for dynamic random-access memory&nbsp;(DRAM) chips. “These are typically things you see at tops of cycles not the bottoms,” says Karazeris.</p>\n<p>But it’s also possible the slowdown in the global PMI is more a reflection of chip shortages than a sign that the shortages aren’t real (and are just inventory building). “The divergence doesn’t necessarily mean that chip orders are going to roll over and die. It means chip manufacturing has to catch up,” says Leuthold economist and strategist Jim Paulsen.</p>\n<p>Ford,for example, just announced it had to curtail production because of chip shortages, not a shortfall in underlying demand.</p>\n<p>Paulsen predicts decent economic growth is sustainable because of factors like high savings rates, the rebound in employment and incomes as well as pent-up demand for big ticket items. If he’s right, the continued economic strength would support demand for all the products that use chips – including <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/F\">Ford</a> cars.</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>Buy the pullback in chip stocks — and focus on these 6 companies for the long haul</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\">\nBuy the pullback in chip stocks — and focus on these 6 companies for the long haul\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-23 22:18 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/buy-the-pullback-in-chip-stocks-and-focus-on-these-6-companies-for-the-long-haul-11629468380?mod=home-page><strong>MarketWatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The iShares Semiconductor ETF is down over 6% from recent highs.\nISTOCKPHOTO\nIn the rolling correction that’s running through the stock market, chip makers have been hit harder than most.\nThe iShares ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/buy-the-pullback-in-chip-stocks-and-focus-on-these-6-companies-for-the-long-haul-11629468380?mod=home-page\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"GOOG":"谷歌","QCOM":"高通","AMZN":"亚马逊","SSNLF":"三星电子","TSM":"台积电","ON":"安森美半导体","GOOGL":"谷歌A","CDNS":"铿腾电子","NVDA":"英伟达","AAPL":"苹果","SNPS":"新思科技","SOXX":"iShares费城交易所半导体ETF","ASML":"阿斯麦"},"source_url":"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/buy-the-pullback-in-chip-stocks-and-focus-on-these-6-companies-for-the-long-haul-11629468380?mod=home-page","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1151608193","content_text":"The iShares Semiconductor ETF is down over 6% from recent highs.\nISTOCKPHOTO\nIn the rolling correction that’s running through the stock market, chip makers have been hit harder than most.\nThe iShares Semiconductor ETF is down over 6% from recent highs, compared to declines of 2% or less for the S&P 500,Nasdaq Composite and the Dow Jones Industrial Average.\nDoes that make chip stocks a buy?

Though chip stocks trade at about a market multiple, they appear cheap because they are better companies, points out Lamar Villere, portfolio manager with Villere & Co. “They are not trading at a frothy multiple.”\nThe stocks to buy\nHere are six names favored by chip experts I recently checked in with.\nNew management plays\nThough Peter Karazeris, a senior equity research analyst at Thrivent, has reasons to be cautious on the group (see below), he singles out two companies whose performance may get a boost because they are under new management: Qualcomm and ON Semiconductor.\nBoth have solid profitability. Qualcomm was recently hit by one-off issues like bad weather in Texas that disrupted production, but the company has good exposure to the 5G phone trend. ON Semiconductor is expanding beyond phones into new areas like autos, industrial and the Internet of Things connected-device space.\nA data center and gaming play\nKarazeris also singles out Nvidia,which gets a continuing boost from its exposure to data center and gaming device chip demand — because of its superior design prowess.\nDesign tool companies\nSpeaking of design, when companies like Qualcomm and NVIDIA want to design chips, they turn to the design tools supplied by Cadence Design Systems and Synopsys.\nTheir software-based design tools help chip innovators create the blueprint for their chips, explains Rotonti at Motley Fool, who singles out these names. “They are not the fastest growers in the world, but they have good profit margins.” They also dominate the space.\nAn EUV play\nTo put those blueprints onto silicon in the early stages of chip production, companies like Taiwan Semiconductor and Samsung turn to ASML. Its machines use tiny bursts of light to stencil chip designs onto silicon wafers, in a process called extreme ultraviolet lithography. “No one else has figured out how to do it,” says Rotonti.\nIn other words, it has a monopoly position in supplying machines that do this – which are necessary for any company that wants to make leading edge chips.\nRisks\nHere are some of the chief risks for chip sector investors to watch.\nOversupply\nChip production has become politicized. The U.S. wants more production at home so it is not vulnerable to disruptions in Chinese supply chains. China wants to make 70% of the chips it uses by 2025, up from 5% now, says Winborne.\nThe upshot here is that there’s lots of government support to boost manufacturing – so there will be much more of it. The risk is oversupply at some point in the future. This might also create a pull forward in chip equipment purchases — leading to a lull down the road which could hurt sales and margin trends at equipment makers.\nNext, big tech companies like Alphabet,Apple and Ammazon.com are all doing their own chip design, which threatens specialized chip companies that do the same thing.\nQuantum computing\nComputers using chip designs based on quantum physics instead of traditional semiconductor architectures have superior performance, points out Scolaro at William Blair. “While it probably won’t become mainstream for at least another five years, quantum computing has the potential to transform everything from technology to healthcare.”\nA disturbing signal\nA blend of global purchasing managers (PMI) indexes peaked in April and then decelerated for three months. Meanwhile chip sales growth continued. Normally the two follow the same trend, points out Karazeris, who tracks this indicator at Thrivent. He chalks the divergence up to inventory building which is less sustainable than true end-market demand. So, he takes the divergence as a bearish signal for the chip sector.\nAnother cautionary sign comes from the forecasted weakness in pricing for dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) chips. “These are typically things you see at tops of cycles not the bottoms,” says Karazeris.\nBut it’s also possible the slowdown in the global PMI is more a reflection of chip shortages than a sign that the shortages aren’t real (and are just inventory building). “The divergence doesn’t necessarily mean that chip orders are going to roll over and die. It means chip manufacturing has to catch up,” says Leuthold economist and strategist Jim Paulsen.\nFord,for example, just announced it had to curtail production because of chip shortages, not a shortfall in underlying demand.\nPaulsen predicts decent economic growth is sustainable because of factors like high savings rates, the rebound in employment and incomes as well as pent-up demand for big ticket items. If he’s right, the continued economic strength would support demand for all the products that use chips – including Ford cars.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":92,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":158217205,"gmtCreate":1625151048307,"gmtModify":1703737282289,"author":{"id":"3570656625926041","authorId":"3570656625926041","name":"Alfred1007","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81d8406380cbc0525927f00a9510f2fa","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Snowflake seems like a good pick","listText":"Snowflake seems like a good pick","text":"Snowflake seems like a good pick","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/158217205","repostId":"1199212665","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1199212665","pubTimestamp":1625146084,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1199212665?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-01 21:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Expensive Tech Stocks to Buy in the Next Market Crash","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1199212665","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Get ready to buy Snowflake and two other hot tech stocks if this frothy market collapses.","content":"<p>Many high-growth tech stocks have seen price pullbacks over the past few months, due to concerns about higher bond yields, inflation, and decelerating growth for companies that benefited from the pandemic.</p>\n<p>That sell-off created some buying opportunities -- but some of the sector's pricier names merely pulled back slightly, held onto their gains, or even rallied.

Based on the strong sales from the new consoles and strong first quarter calendar sales for the segment, it appears that video games could have a strong 2021 ahead, even as people get back to work and back to school in person.\nPhoto courtesy of Sony.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":105,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":345926299,"gmtCreate":1618273790111,"gmtModify":1704708392580,"author":{"id":"3570656625926041","authorId":"3570656625926041","name":"Alfred1007","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81d8406380cbc0525927f00a9510f2fa","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"There is no real exciting stimulus in market recently, people already price in factors that will make market rise.","listText":"There is no real exciting stimulus in market recently, people already price in factors that will make market rise.","text":"There is no real exciting stimulus in market recently, people already price in factors that will make market rise.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/345926299","repostId":"1146450605","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1146450605","pubTimestamp":1618271053,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1146450605?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-13 07:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"S&P 500 closes flat near record high in another muted session ahead of key inflation data","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1146450605","media":"CNBC","summary":"U.S. stocks hovered near their record levels on Monday as dull trading resumed before the release of","content":"<div>\n<p>U.S. stocks hovered near their record levels on Monday as dull trading resumed before the release of widely-watched inflation data and the start of first-quarter corporate earnings.The S&P 500 dipped ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/11/stock-market-futures-open-to-close-news.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 55.20 points, or 0.2%, to 33,745.40, also falling from a record high. Intel was the biggest decliner in the blue-chip Dow, dropping more than 4%. The Nasdaq Composite fell 0.4% to 13,850.00.Wall Street has been relatively quiet with the S&P 500 moving within 1% for five sessions in a row. Market volatility has declined to pre-pandemic levels amid rising reopening optimism. The Cboe Volatility Index, AKA the VIX or the market’s fear gauge, has traded below 18 for the past four days, a level unseen since February 2020.Shares of Nuance Communications jumped nearly 16% after Microsoft announced it will buy the speech recognition company in a $16 billion deal.The Nuance acquisition represents Microsoft’s largest acquisition since it bought LinkedIn for more than $26 billion in 2016.Nvidia jumped 5.6% after the chip giant said it first quarter revenue for fiscal 2022 is tracking above its previously provided outlook and that it expects demand to continue to exceed supply for much of this year.Nvidia plans new chip to compete with intel in data-center market.The weakness in reopening plays weighed on the overall market with shares of Carnival and Norwegian Cruise Line off more than 4% each. United Airlines fell 3.9% after the carrier said its first-quarter revenue is expected to fall 66% compared with the same period in 2019. The new guidance fell near the top of the range between 65% and 70% that the company had previously forecast.“Amid new highs it’s not surprising for the market to be moving somewhat in a holding pattern of late,” said Chris Larkin,managing director of trading and investing product at E-Trade. “All eyes will likely be on the CPI read tomorrow for a benchmark on where we stand on the inflation front. And of course we’re ushering in earnings season which could be a catalyst for market moves over the next few weeks.”The first-quarter earnings reporting season begins this week, with expectations set for broadly positive news and an uptrend for U.S. equities thanks to a recovering economy. Many of the nation’s largest banks, including Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase will this week report results for the three months ended March 31.This week is also packed with Federal Reserve speeches and key economic data including a hotly anticipated inflation readingTuesday, when the U.S. consumer price index is released. Economists polled by Dow Jones anticipate a 0.5% gain in CPI month over month and a 2.5% increase from last year’s level.Tesla gained 3.7% to above $700 Monday after Canaccord Genuity upgraded the stock to buy and raised its price target to $1,071, citing its battery innovations.Fed Chairman Jerome Powell on Sunday reiterated that the Fed wants to see inflation rise above its 2% for an extended period before officials move to raise interest rates.“We want to see inflation move up to 2% — and we mean that on a sustainable basis, we don’t mean just tap the base once,” Powell said in an interview that aired Sunday evening on CBS News’ “60 Minutes.” “But then we’d also like to see it on track to move moderately above 2% for some time.”He added that amid an accelerated Covid-19 vaccine rollout and strong fiscal support, the U.S. economy appears to be at a turning point.Powell will also speak Wednesday at an Economic Club of Washington event.Investors will also keep an eye on President Joe Biden’s effort to advance a major infrastructure proposal known as the American Jobs Plan. Biden, who with other Democrats promised significant an infrastructure overhaul in the 2020 elections, wil lmeet with a bipartisan group of lawmakers on Monday to try to persuade Capitol Hill to back the $2 trillion package.Congress will return to Washington this week and be in session for the first time since Biden debuted his proposal, which earmarks hundreds of billions of dollars for roads, bridges, airports, broadband, electric vehicles, housing and job training.The president’s plan would also increase the corporate tax rate to 28% and crack down on other overseas tax avoidance strategies.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":100,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3569225668665653","authorId":"3569225668665653","name":"ZachLoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/39ae35b0a4b7e22dee7378b1bc1de2f6","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"content":"Response back comment plz","text":"Response back comment plz","html":"Response back comment plz"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":382926096,"gmtCreate":1613352420415,"gmtModify":1704879985080,"author":{"id":"3570656625926041","authorId":"3570656625926041","name":"Alfred1007","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81d8406380cbc0525927f00a9510f2fa","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Who will be the next?

The Federal Reserve could declare victory in its inflation fight and ease off its monetary policy tightening sooner rather than later in 2023, setting off rallies across asset classes.</p><p>So goes the bullish thinking.</p><p>That narrative was on display this past Friday when stock indexes surged to end a choppy holiday-shortened week higher.

The Fed has stated that it plans to increase interest rates in early 2023, then hold there for some time. Federal-funds futures pricing, however, implies a peak in rates by the spring, then cuts in the back half of 2023. It&#39;s another sign that investors expect the Fed to change its tune.

The market will be looking to December&#39;s consumer price index this coming Thursday as its next macro bogey -- one that will provide additional fodder for the Fed&#39;s next policy meeting in February. The rate of inflation is expected to fall to 6.5% year over year from 7.1% in November.</p><p>But it&#39;s not just about the economic data. This coming Friday brings the start of fourth-quarter earnings season, with some major companies -- JPMorgan Chase (ticker: JPM), Bank of America (BAC), UnitedHealth Group (UNH), and Delta Air Lines (DAL) among them -- kicking off the festivities. The vast majority of the S&amp;P 500 will report over the following month and a half.</p><p>Few are expecting a good fourth quarter.
