I believe the valuation is attractively chiefly because of Tesla&#39;s aggressive focus to grow revenues which may grow even faster than what the current consensus indicates.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Analysts currently estimate that Tesla could generate revenues of $100.4B in FY 2023 and $131.0B in FY 2024, implying a year over year growth rate of 30%. In FY 2023, Tesla is expected to grow revenues 23%, so analysts expect an acceleration of growth to occur which relates to the continual scaling of Tesla&#39;s Model 3 and Y production, but also to the beginning ramp of the Cybertruck which is expected to hit the market in the middle of FY 2023. However, with Tesla pursuing an aggressive pricing strategy, revenue may grow even more rapidly than the 30% growth rate implied by analysts&#39; top line estimates.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/45267019e1945f4058d269c50e8d760a\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Based off of current top line estimates, Tesla is valued at 4.0X FY 2024 revenues, but investors currently get a 39% discount to the company&#39;s 1-year average P/S ratio. Tesla achieved a P/S ratio as high as 10.4X within the last year, so I believe shares have considerable re-rating potential once investors are prepared to move on from the price cut announcement.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c569afaf180d39d2dad51061e24c0df1\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Compared against other US-based EV companies, Tesla is still the best deal in the industry, in my opinion, despite a slightly higher P/S ratio.

This could be a risky strategy for the company, especially if other EV manufacturers follow suit and lower their product prices, which, in the worst-case, could lead to an escalating price war in the EV segment where margins are already low. Tesla is the leading global EV brand, but weaker margins are unlikely to win the cheers of investors and may ultimately hurt Tesla&#39;s profitability.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Final thoughts</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">I believe investors should see last week&#39;s 10% price correction as a strong buying opportunity now that investors have become more fearful again. While it is true that Tesla is going to pay for stronger revenue growth with lower profits in the short term, it could be a successful strategy to drive electric vehicle demand and therefore lead to market share gains. Since Tesla, as opposed to many other start-ups in the EV industry, is already profitable, the company can afford an aggressive pricing strategy. Since shares of Tesla once again dropped and fear has affected the market again, I believe this 10% sell-off is a new opportunity to capitalize on this fear. The time for me to sell shares of Tesla, again, will be when the market turns super bullish on the EV company and investors are euphoric.</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>Tesla: Buy The Fear, Sell The Hype, Rinse And Repeat</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\">\nTesla: Buy The Fear, Sell The Hype, Rinse And Repeat\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-04-24 23:22 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4595961-tesla-buy-fear-sell-hype-rinse-repeat><strong>Seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryTesla's earnings release for Q1'23 resulted in a 10% share price drop.After selling out of Tesla in February, I am rebuying Tesla at a much more attractive valuation.Tesla is set to continue to...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4595961-tesla-buy-fear-sell-hype-rinse-repeat\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4595961-tesla-buy-fear-sell-hype-rinse-repeat","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1156592135","content_text":"SummaryTesla's earnings release for Q1'23 resulted in a 10% share price drop.After selling out of Tesla in February, I am rebuying Tesla at a much more attractive valuation.Tesla is set to continue to dominate the EV market due to its large size and scale, but short-term profitability risks have risen.Tesla Shanghai GigafactoryAfter Tesla's valuation soared more than 100% between January 2023 and February 2023, I recommended investors to sell the EV company's shares as there was a clear risk of an overheating stock price rally -- Tesla: Take Profits When Others Are Greedy.

The time for me to sell shares of Tesla, again, will be when the market turns super bullish on the EV company and investors are euphoric.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":446,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9947083190,"gmtCreate":1682347554710,"gmtModify":1682347558443,"author":{"id":"3570853427202414","authorId":"3570853427202414","name":"BKT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/15cb8e8f0a7c44ca01c83b3bfdddbd86","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570853427202414","authorIdStr":"3570853427202414"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","text":"Pls like thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9947083190","repostId":"1171143605","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1171143605","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1682343023,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1171143605?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-04-24 21:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Stocks Open Little Changed To Start The Week As Traders Brace For Tech Earnings","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1171143605","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Stocks were flat Monday as investors awaited a slew of corporate earnings from big tech companies, a","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Stocks were flat Monday as investors awaited a slew of corporate earnings from big tech companies, as well as fresh economic data releases. </p><p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose just 64 points, or 0.2%.

Cost-cutting efforts slowed GMV growth, but as the industry is heading toward profitability, thus fewer discounts, customers will be looking for a better customer experience, in our view. However, competition is here to stay as social commerce is gaining traction. The stock is attractive at $62 per share (30% margin of safety). $66 per share (25% margin of safety) is also a good entry point.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">A New Kid On The Block, But Soon Become A Tech Giant</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Originally started as a digital entertainment company in 2009, Sea Limited (NYSE:SE) is a Singapore-based tech company with a $45 billion market capitalization. The company’s operations span across countries, including Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Brazil. The market in Southeast Asia, which more specifically includes Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, contributes more than 60% of Sea’s revenue.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b468d98f9cff8351e96ccb675990ae06\" alt=\"Sea&#39;s revenue contributors by geographical area (Vektor Research)\" title=\"Sea&#39;s revenue contributors by geographical area (Vektor Research)\" tg-width=\"569\" tg-height=\"420\"/><span>Sea&#39;s revenue contributors by geographical area (Vektor Research)</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In general, Sea has three business segments: Garena, a digital entertainment business; Shopee, an e-commerce platform; and a digital financial services provider under SeaMoney. As of 2022, Shopee contributed almost 60% of Sea’s revenue.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bff722fc1c13e0cbaf23d1e39f2e51d6\" alt=\"Segments contribution to revenue (%) (Vektor Research)\" title=\"Segments contribution to revenue (%) (Vektor Research)\" tg-width=\"569\" tg-height=\"420\"/><span>Segments contribution to revenue (%) (Vektor Research)</span></p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">How Does Sea Make Money?</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">First, Sea launches and operates third-party games and helps its partners with marketing, distribution, and monetization. Free Fire is the company’s first in-house developed game, and together with four third-party games, contributed 98% of Sea’s digital entertainment revenue. Those games are free to play, but players can purchase in-game items, from which Sea monetizes its gaming platform under the so-called “freemium” model.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Second, Shopee is an e-commerce platform where individuals, small-medium enterprises, and large retailers under Shopee Mall sell their products by paying transaction fees. Sellers can upgrade their status to Star or Star+ after completing a few milestones but will be charged a higher transaction fee, hoping that buyers will consider them more “trusted” sellers than non-Star ones. Alternatively, sellers will gain more clicks by topping up the “coin” balance and using those coins for Shopee’s advertising services. Additionally, Shopee also engages in the food delivery business under Shopee Food.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/31e8e836b706ce207fbad6d6e8cc1ec0\" alt=\"Shopee&#39;s transaction fees (Shopee)\" title=\"Shopee&#39;s transaction fees (Shopee)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"253\"/><span>Shopee&#39;s transaction fees (Shopee)</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Lastly, Sea provides digital financial services, including mobile wallet (ShopeePay), buy now pay later service (SPayLater), and digital banking services. Further, Sea acquired a local Indonesian bank in 2020 and launched SeaBank Indonesia a year later, and SeaBank Philippines was opened in 2022. Sea charges fees and interests and receives premiums (insurance business) for its services.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">What&#39;s Up With The Stock?</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Sea’s stock bottomed up from $40 per share and now trades at $79 per share. The company pivoted from being growth-driven to a profit-minded one, with its operating income turning positive to $343 million. Why the pivot? The Motley Fool noted Sea’s CEO’s memo to employees suggesting the inability to “raise funds in the market” due to “investors fleeing for ‘safe haven’ investments.” Additionally, Tencent had shed its stake from 21.3% to 18.7% early last year before its COO left Sea’s board of directors.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/016819409b67a9550445878277934a61\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As a result, the company cut costs left and right by “reviewing” its headcount, being selective in “high potential projects,” and better targeting its marketing spend. For example, Sea reportedly laid off around 10% of its workforce at some point last year and effectively reduced its sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue to 14% in 4Q22 from ~25%-40%.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8a931f85a5c4aa3509a23be65e28c317\" alt=\"Sea&#39;s sales and marketing expenses as a % of revenue (Vektor Research)\" title=\"Sea&#39;s sales and marketing expenses as a % of revenue (Vektor Research)\" tg-width=\"569\" tg-height=\"415\"/><span>Sea&#39;s sales and marketing expenses as a % of revenue (Vektor Research)</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">This helps improve Shopee’s unit economics, as seen in Figure 6. Sales incentive that exceeds the revenue expected by the company will be recorded in sales and marketing expenses. According to the annual report, excess incentive was about 12% of revenue in 2022 and less than 5% in 4Q22, suggesting that Sea has aggressively reduced discounts and promotions.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7eef2b8a809c5a22515d4c431a01b3fe\" alt=\"Shopee&#39;s unit economics (Vektor Research)\" title=\"Shopee&#39;s unit economics (Vektor Research)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"350\"/><span>Shopee&#39;s unit economics (Vektor Research)</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Nevertheless, gross orders declined 15% (Y/Y), and GMV growth slowed to 8% (Y/Y) in 4Q22 from 21% (Y/Y) in 3Q22 on a constant currency basis. Reported GMV declined 1.1% (Y/Y). Moreover, Sea reported $7.3 billion in e-commerce revenue last year–lower than its then-full-year guidance of $8.8 billion (mid-point), later scrapped due to a shift to “focus on efficiency and optimization for the long-term strength and profitability of the e-commerce business.&#34; In turn, take rate increases supported Sea&#39;s e-commerce top-line growth. Operating cash flow was a negative $1.1 billion last year (-$1.8 billion minus share-based compensation).</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61b99842606897676083b252be90ace4\" alt=\"GMV and e-commerce revenue growth (Vektor Research)\" title=\"GMV and e-commerce revenue growth (Vektor Research)\" tg-width=\"564\" tg-height=\"406\"/><span>GMV and e-commerce revenue growth (Vektor Research)</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/649409dc1f9d2077c49d3e996a229db7\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">But this did not stop the stock price from rising, as investors and analysts have been eyeing Sea&#39;s cost-cutting efforts, which turned its EBIT positive. Still, concerns remain about whether such efforts will come at the expense of top-line growth. Lastly, is Sea providing an attractive buying opportunity?</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7924a5ab9c99a0e186899709186d8f39\" alt=\"Sea&#39;s consensus revenue revision trend (Seeking Alpha)\" title=\"Sea&#39;s consensus revenue revision trend (Seeking Alpha)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"223\"/><span>Sea&#39;s consensus revenue revision trend (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4f415315da88912e696ab00caf08a197\" alt=\"Sea&#39;s consensus EPS revision trend (Seeking Alpha)\" title=\"Sea&#39;s consensus EPS revision trend (Seeking Alpha)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"224\"/><span>Sea&#39;s consensus EPS revision trend (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">1. The Industry&#39;s Potential Remains Largely Untapped</h2><h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Southeast Asia and Latin America e-commerce markets remain under-penetrated...</h4><p style=\"text-align: left;\">We believe that Sea’s growth story is still in play. While the e-commerce market in Southeast Asia has grown five times larger, it remains under-penetrated. According to McKinsey, Indonesia and Singapore had a ~30% penetration rate, while the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam trailed at ~15%. Looking forward, the consultancy expects the market to grow 22% annually until 2026.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">For example, Alpha JWC Ventures and Kearney published a study on the untapped potential of Indonesia&#39;s tier 2 and tier 3 cities. The study noted that those cities lagged three to five years in the digital adoption of tier-1 cities and that “familiarization” is likely the key driver to adoption. How big is the market? The e-commerce market size for tier 2 and 3 cities is expected to grow to ~$45 billion GMV in 2025 from ~$9 billion GMV in 2020. Additionally, the buy now, pay later service also helps spur e-commerce growth, given that the credit card penetration is only 6% in the country, as noted by BCG.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Further, Shopee has gained traction in Brazil since its inception in 2019. Revenue grew over 225% (Y/Y) in 3Q22, and unit economics gradually improved. It had recorded &#34;below $2&#34; adjusted EBITDA loss per order before HQ expenses (contribution margin) in 4Q21 before improving to a $0.47 loss in a year later.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Latitud noted that Latin America’s e-commerce market remained fast-growing, and its penetration rate was estimated to be less than 12% in 2022. Statista noted that retail online sales in Latin America were around $168 billion in 2022, which only accounted for 11% of total retail sales. The figure is estimated to increase to ~20% by 2026. Additionally, the International Trade Administration said that Shopee was number two in market share in Brazil, preceded by Argentina-based MercadoLibre (MELI).</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Sea&#39;s growth story comes from not only a low penetration rate but also a take rate expansion. While Sea is improving monetization in its core marketplace business, its take rate is also supported by Shopee Brazil. In general, the take rate in Brazil was &#34;materially higher than many other market,&#34; the management said. For example, MELI&#39;s commerce take rate stood at ~17%, which expanded thanks to &#34;advertising revenues and the incremental monetization on shipping and logistics.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">We acknowledge that it is tough to quantify how much Shopee Brazil will impact the overall take rate since Sea does not (or rarely) disclose the e-commerce revenue per region. In 4Q21, Shopee Brazil recorded more than $70 million in revenue, which accounts for over 4% of total e-commerce revenue. If we are making an educated guess, assuming that the revenue growth was about 200% (Y/Y) in the 4Q22 (actual growth was 270% in 2Q22 and 225% in 3Q22), it would make up about 10% of Sea&#39;s e-commerce revenue. Our assumption for Sea&#39;s e-commerce take rate stands at 12-13% by 2025.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cf9113184a4cba66038966bb3baf12ca\" alt=\"MELI&#39;s take rate (Company)\" title=\"MELI&#39;s take rate (Company)\" tg-width=\"576\" tg-height=\"408\"/><span>MELI&#39;s take rate (Company)</span></p><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">...giving chances for digital payment services providers</h3><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Opportunities are also wide open for Sea’s digital financial services. Visa (NYSE: V) found that mobile wallets and contactless cards drove digital payment in Southeast Asia and that respondents prefer mobile wallets over cards. Why? 56% of respondents in the region cited “the ability to earn rewards and receive promotional discounts and cash back” as one of the key reasons to use e-wallets, BCG noted. Yet, customers appear to have stickiness as some people said they would still use e-wallets without promotions and discounts.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As more people use e-wallets, this is where SeaBank comes into play. For example, in Indonesia, ShopeePay users typically top up their wallet through bank transfers or cash payment in local convenience stores. However, they are required to pay Rp1,000 (~$0.07) or Rp1,500 (~$0.1) per top up depending on the payment method they use. While such figures appear minuscule, what if users top up their e-wallets per transaction? Having a SeaBank account allows depositors to top up ShopeePay and transfer their money to another bank up to 100 transactions for free.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Digital banks are gaining traction. SeaBank Indonesia reported satisfying earnings results, as net income stood at ~$18 million in 2022 from a loss of ~$21 million in 2021, per Tech in Asia. Moreover, loan disbursements almost tripled to $1.1 billion from $409 million. Still, there is plenty of leeway for growth as Indonesia has the third-largest unbanked population in the world, according to the World Economic Forum.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">2. Players Are Heading Toward Profitability</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">While Sea successfully cut costs, GMV growth slowed, posing a question of whether the company could balance growth and profitability. When asked about the topic, the management said during the last earnings call:</p><blockquote>Now in terms of outlook and balancing growth and profitability. So as we shared also, our outlook for markets in the long run remains very strong. Because of its demographic features, the young rolling population, deepened digital penetration vis-à-vis offline retail and also the economic growth potential of our region.</blockquote><p style=\"text-align: left;\">We agree that the long-term outlook remains strong, as we pointed out previously. However, while e-commerce companies ramp up their sales incentive to gain market share, they have been unable to create stickiness. Otherwise, why would e-commerce companies still resort to aggressive promotions for years? SurveySensum’s findings also confirm our belief as “value for money” is the second biggest reason why e-commerce users switch to online stores.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Fortunately, e-commerce companies “mutually agree” that sacrificing the bottom line for aggressive promotions and discounts is not sustainable. For example, GoTo, Shopee’s biggest competitor in Indonesia’s e-commerce landscape with 35% GMV market share in 2020 vs. Shopee’s 37% (Momentum Works data), expects its adjusted EBITDA to turn positive in 4Q23. Yet, the company said it would “try to react” when facing competition, albeit in a “sustainable manner.” Interestingly, GoTo is suspending its GTV and gross revenue guidance to “focus on efficiency and profitability.” Other Indonesia-based players, such as Blibli and Bukalapak, are also making their way to profitability.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0cd283006bcc37ae062ba8347dc3b912\" alt=\"GoTo Adjusted EBITDA as a % of GTV (Company)\" title=\"GoTo Adjusted EBITDA as a % of GTV (Company)\" tg-width=\"569\" tg-height=\"408\"/><span>GoTo Adjusted EBITDA as a % of GTV (Company)</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">We believe the industry is becoming more rational, with profitability becoming the number one priority. This also triggers customers to increasingly look beyond price and prefer a better customer experience, in our view. For example, GoTo is increasing intra-city selection availability outside Greater Jakarta, so that customers can order same-day delivery using its first-party logistic services, thus improving economies of scale. Investment in logistics remains a priority for Sea, as said by Sea’s management:</p><blockquote>And another thing is, as we shared before, the reason we are very focused on cost structure, in particular, logistics, is because we are trying to expand the profitable TAM for the market as a whole by addressing sellers and buyers who are underserved or unaddressed by existing players and having a better structure, having more target focus on the mass market allow us to be a differentiated player in the market, capturing a significant share of the pie in our view.</blockquote><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Counterpoint: The Industry Has Low Barriers To Entry</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">But it is not all fun and games, as competition is here to stay. We think the industry’s low barriers to entry make it easier for new players to enter the competitive landscape. For example, social commerce, such as TikTok Shop and Instagram Shop, proliferates. According to a survey by Populix, 86% of respondents in Indonesia have tried shopping on social media, with 46% of them having shopped for goods in TikTok Shop. Further, The Information reported that TikTok’s GMV in Southeast Asia quadrupled to $4.4 billion in 2022 according to sources familiar with internal data, as cited in Tech in Asia.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">While we can argue that TikTok has already had sizable users in the first place, it demonstrates how quickly companies can enter the competitive landscape and gain traction. As we are writing, TikTok is giving discount coupons to new customers. Our view is that while the industry is more rational, things could change quickly as new players enter the market with aggressive promotions and discounts. Existing players are likely to walk the same path to protect market share at the expense of possibly margin erosions, in our view.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Valuation</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Our fair value estimate for Sea Limited is $88 per share (12% upside), derived from a 10-year DCF valuation (9% WACC, 4% long-term growth), implying a forward P/E of 51x. We made three scenarios suggesting that Sea’s fair value is between $61 per share and $124 per share. An aggressive 30% margin of safety to our base case scenario suggests an acceptable buying price of $62 per share (35x forward P/E). If you think 30% is too aggressive, $66 per share (25% margin of safety) is also a good entry point, in our view.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/28df3879868874a2116131ae828749fc\" alt=\"Sea&#39;s 10-year DCF valuation (Vektor Research)\" title=\"Sea&#39;s 10-year DCF valuation (Vektor Research)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"383\"/><span>Sea&#39;s 10-year DCF valuation (Vektor Research)</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a249cd72a618a5b6e6233659fe0ddd79\" alt=\"Sea&#39;s valuation summary per cases (Vektor Research)\" title=\"Sea&#39;s valuation summary per cases (Vektor Research)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"234\"/><span>Sea&#39;s valuation summary per cases (Vektor Research)</span></p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Where We Are Different From The Market</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Consensus expects revenue to grow 12% annually until 2025, while our base case estimate suggests a 16% top-line annual growth. We believe that low e-commerce penetration, take rate expansion, and large untapped markets for e-commerce and digital financial services will help drive Sea’s revenue growth despite further cost-efficiency efforts that will impact GMV growth. Further, the industry is heading toward profitability.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/672994444b45c3c387d001de604e786f\" alt=\"Consensus revenue estimates (Seeking Alpha)\" title=\"Consensus revenue estimates (Seeking Alpha)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"201\"/><span>Consensus revenue estimates (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">On the other hand, while Sea believes that the take rate still has room for growth, competition is here to stay, as social commerce could force e-commerce companies to do more promotions and discounts, thus possibly hurting margins. Hence, investors should take Sea’s margin expansion story with a grain of salt.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Indeed, there is a discrepancy between the market value and our fair value estimate. However, even a good business should be bought at the right price, thus applying an aggressive margin of safety makes a lot of sense.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a2881c171bbdd7a2d23881f09bb12be8\" alt=\"Consensus EPS estimates (Seeking Alpha)\" title=\"Consensus EPS estimates (Seeking Alpha)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"201\"/><span>Consensus EPS estimates (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f08611e34cc55159e0e5937bc0ceab4c\" alt=\"Analysts&#39; target price (Seeking Alpha)\" title=\"Analysts&#39; target price (Seeking Alpha)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"209\"/><span>Analysts&#39; target price (Seeking Alpha)</span></p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Conclusion</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Sea Limited is a great option to get exposure to emerging markets. While cost-efficiency efforts slowed GMV growth, Sea still has a long runway for growth, driven by a low e-commerce penetration rate, large unbanked population, and take rate expansion. The industry is also heading toward profitability, but it has low barriers to entry, with social commerce joining the bandwagon. Aggressive promotions and discounts by new players as a means of gaining market share are likely to force established players to provide discounts once again to defend their market share. Hence, investors should take the margin expansion story with a grain of salt.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Our base case estimates suggest Sea’s fair value to be $88 per share, implying 51x forward P/E. A 30% margin of safety suggests that an attractive buying opportunity is $62 per share (35x forward P/E). At least $66 per share (25% margin of safety) is also a good entry point. Investment risk stems from social commerce that could intensify the competitive landscape, which could force existing players to do promotions and discounting.</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>Sea Limited: Ample Room For Growth, But Competition Is Here To Stay</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\">\nSea Limited: Ample Room For Growth, But Competition Is Here To Stay\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-04-24 23:21 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4595779-sea-limited-se-ample-room-for-growth-but-competition-to-stay><strong>Seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummarySea successfully cut its costs, improving its unit economics, and turning its EBIT positive.

Cost-cutting efforts slowed GMV growth, but as the industry is heading toward profitability, thus fewer discounts, customers will be looking for a better customer experience, in our view.

The company’s operations span across countries, including Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Brazil. The market in Southeast Asia, which more specifically includes Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, contributes more than 60% of Sea’s revenue.Sea's revenue contributors by geographical area (Vektor Research)In general, Sea has three business segments: Garena, a digital entertainment business; Shopee, an e-commerce platform; and a digital financial services provider under SeaMoney. As of 2022, Shopee contributed almost 60% of Sea’s revenue.Segments contribution to revenue (%) (Vektor Research)How Does Sea Make Money?First, Sea launches and operates third-party games and helps its partners with marketing, distribution, and monetization. Free Fire is the company’s first in-house developed game, and together with four third-party games, contributed 98% of Sea’s digital entertainment revenue. Those games are free to play, but players can purchase in-game items, from which Sea monetizes its gaming platform under the so-called “freemium” model.Second, Shopee is an e-commerce platform where individuals, small-medium enterprises, and large retailers under Shopee Mall sell their products by paying transaction fees. Sellers can upgrade their status to Star or Star+ after completing a few milestones but will be charged a higher transaction fee, hoping that buyers will consider them more “trusted” sellers than non-Star ones. Alternatively, sellers will gain more clicks by topping up the “coin” balance and using those coins for Shopee’s advertising services. Additionally, Shopee also engages in the food delivery business under Shopee Food.Shopee's transaction fees (Shopee)Lastly, Sea provides digital financial services, including mobile wallet (ShopeePay), buy now pay later service (SPayLater), and digital banking services. Further, Sea acquired a local Indonesian bank in 2020 and launched SeaBank Indonesia a year later, and SeaBank Philippines was opened in 2022. Sea charges fees and interests and receives premiums (insurance business) for its services.What's Up With The Stock?Sea’s stock bottomed up from $40 per share and now trades at $79 per share. The company pivoted from being growth-driven to a profit-minded one, with its operating income turning positive to $343 million. Why the pivot? The Motley Fool noted Sea’s CEO’s memo to employees suggesting the inability to “raise funds in the market” due to “investors fleeing for ‘safe haven’ investments.” Additionally, Tencent had shed its stake from 21.3% to 18.7% early last year before its COO left Sea’s board of directors.Data by YChartsAs a result, the company cut costs left and right by “reviewing” its headcount, being selective in “high potential projects,” and better targeting its marketing spend. For example, Sea reportedly laid off around 10% of its workforce at some point last year and effectively reduced its sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue to 14% in 4Q22 from ~25%-40%.Sea's sales and marketing expenses as a % of revenue (Vektor Research)This helps improve Shopee’s unit economics, as seen in Figure 6. Sales incentive that exceeds the revenue expected by the company will be recorded in sales and marketing expenses. According to the annual report, excess incentive was about 12% of revenue in 2022 and less than 5% in 4Q22, suggesting that Sea has aggressively reduced discounts and promotions.Shopee's unit economics (Vektor Research)Nevertheless, gross orders declined 15% (Y/Y), and GMV growth slowed to 8% (Y/Y) in 4Q22 from 21% (Y/Y) in 3Q22 on a constant currency basis. Reported GMV declined 1.1% (Y/Y). Moreover, Sea reported $7.3 billion in e-commerce revenue last year–lower than its then-full-year guidance of $8.8 billion (mid-point), later scrapped due to a shift to “focus on efficiency and optimization for the long-term strength and profitability of the e-commerce business.\" In turn, take rate increases supported Sea's e-commerce top-line growth. Operating cash flow was a negative $1.1 billion last year (-$1.8 billion minus share-based compensation).GMV and e-commerce revenue growth (Vektor Research)Data by YChartsBut this did not stop the stock price from rising, as investors and analysts have been eyeing Sea's cost-cutting efforts, which turned its EBIT positive. Still, concerns remain about whether such efforts will come at the expense of top-line growth. Lastly, is Sea providing an attractive buying opportunity?Sea's consensus revenue revision trend (Seeking Alpha)Sea's consensus EPS revision trend (Seeking Alpha)1. The Industry's Potential Remains Largely UntappedSoutheast Asia and Latin America e-commerce markets remain under-penetrated...We believe that Sea’s growth story is still in play. While the e-commerce market in Southeast Asia has grown five times larger, it remains under-penetrated. According to McKinsey, Indonesia and Singapore had a ~30% penetration rate, while the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam trailed at ~15%. Looking forward, the consultancy expects the market to grow 22% annually until 2026.For example, Alpha JWC Ventures and Kearney published a study on the untapped potential of Indonesia's tier 2 and tier 3 cities. The study noted that those cities lagged three to five years in the digital adoption of tier-1 cities and that “familiarization” is likely the key driver to adoption. How big is the market? The e-commerce market size for tier 2 and 3 cities is expected to grow to ~$45 billion GMV in 2025 from ~$9 billion GMV in 2020. Additionally, the buy now, pay later service also helps spur e-commerce growth, given that the credit card penetration is only 6% in the country, as noted by BCG.Further, Shopee has gained traction in Brazil since its inception in 2019. Revenue grew over 225% (Y/Y) in 3Q22, and unit economics gradually improved. It had recorded \"below $2\" adjusted EBITDA loss per order before HQ expenses (contribution margin) in 4Q21 before improving to a $0.47 loss in a year later.Latitud noted that Latin America’s e-commerce market remained fast-growing, and its penetration rate was estimated to be less than 12% in 2022. Statista noted that retail online sales in Latin America were around $168 billion in 2022, which only accounted for 11% of total retail sales. The figure is estimated to increase to ~20% by 2026. Additionally, the International Trade Administration said that Shopee was number two in market share in Brazil, preceded by Argentina-based MercadoLibre (MELI).Sea's growth story comes from not only a low penetration rate but also a take rate expansion. While Sea is improving monetization in its core marketplace business, its take rate is also supported by Shopee Brazil. In general, the take rate in Brazil was \"materially higher than many other market,\" the management said. For example, MELI's commerce take rate stood at ~17%, which expanded thanks to \"advertising revenues and the incremental monetization on shipping and logistics.\"We acknowledge that it is tough to quantify how much Shopee Brazil will impact the overall take rate since Sea does not (or rarely) disclose the e-commerce revenue per region. In 4Q21, Shopee Brazil recorded more than $70 million in revenue, which accounts for over 4% of total e-commerce revenue. If we are making an educated guess, assuming that the revenue growth was about 200% (Y/Y) in the 4Q22 (actual growth was 270% in 2Q22 and 225% in 3Q22), it would make up about 10% of Sea's e-commerce revenue. Our assumption for Sea's e-commerce take rate stands at 12-13% by 2025.MELI's take rate (Company)...giving chances for digital payment services providersOpportunities are also wide open for Sea’s digital financial services. Visa (NYSE: V) found that mobile wallets and contactless cards drove digital payment in Southeast Asia and that respondents prefer mobile wallets over cards. Why? 56% of respondents in the region cited “the ability to earn rewards and receive promotional discounts and cash back” as one of the key reasons to use e-wallets, BCG noted. Yet, customers appear to have stickiness as some people said they would still use e-wallets without promotions and discounts.As more people use e-wallets, this is where SeaBank comes into play. For example, in Indonesia, ShopeePay users typically top up their wallet through bank transfers or cash payment in local convenience stores. However, they are required to pay Rp1,000 (~$0.07) or Rp1,500 (~$0.1) per top up depending on the payment method they use. While such figures appear minuscule, what if users top up their e-wallets per transaction? Having a SeaBank account allows depositors to top up ShopeePay and transfer their money to another bank up to 100 transactions for free.Digital banks are gaining traction. SeaBank Indonesia reported satisfying earnings results, as net income stood at ~$18 million in 2022 from a loss of ~$21 million in 2021, per Tech in Asia. Moreover, loan disbursements almost tripled to $1.1 billion from $409 million. Still, there is plenty of leeway for growth as Indonesia has the third-largest unbanked population in the world, according to the World Economic Forum.2. Players Are Heading Toward ProfitabilityWhile Sea successfully cut costs, GMV growth slowed, posing a question of whether the company could balance growth and profitability. When asked about the topic, the management said during the last earnings call:Now in terms of outlook and balancing growth and profitability. So as we shared also, our outlook for markets in the long run remains very strong. Because of its demographic features, the young rolling population, deepened digital penetration vis-à-vis offline retail and also the economic growth potential of our region.We agree that the long-term outlook remains strong, as we pointed out previously. However, while e-commerce companies ramp up their sales incentive to gain market share, they have been unable to create stickiness. Otherwise, why would e-commerce companies still resort to aggressive promotions for years? SurveySensum’s findings also confirm our belief as “value for money” is the second biggest reason why e-commerce users switch to online stores.Fortunately, e-commerce companies “mutually agree” that sacrificing the bottom line for aggressive promotions and discounts is not sustainable. For example, GoTo, Shopee’s biggest competitor in Indonesia’s e-commerce landscape with 35% GMV market share in 2020 vs. Shopee’s 37% (Momentum Works data), expects its adjusted EBITDA to turn positive in 4Q23. Yet, the company said it would “try to react” when facing competition, albeit in a “sustainable manner.” Interestingly, GoTo is suspending its GTV and gross revenue guidance to “focus on efficiency and profitability.” Other Indonesia-based players, such as Blibli and Bukalapak, are also making their way to profitability.GoTo Adjusted EBITDA as a % of GTV (Company)We believe the industry is becoming more rational, with profitability becoming the number one priority. This also triggers customers to increasingly look beyond price and prefer a better customer experience, in our view. For example, GoTo is increasing intra-city selection availability outside Greater Jakarta, so that customers can order same-day delivery using its first-party logistic services, thus improving economies of scale. Investment in logistics remains a priority for Sea, as said by Sea’s management:And another thing is, as we shared before, the reason we are very focused on cost structure, in particular, logistics, is because we are trying to expand the profitable TAM for the market as a whole by addressing sellers and buyers who are underserved or unaddressed by existing players and having a better structure, having more target focus on the mass market allow us to be a differentiated player in the market, capturing a significant share of the pie in our view.Counterpoint: The Industry Has Low Barriers To EntryBut it is not all fun and games, as competition is here to stay. We think the industry’s low barriers to entry make it easier for new players to enter the competitive landscape. For example, social commerce, such as TikTok Shop and Instagram Shop, proliferates. According to a survey by Populix, 86% of respondents in Indonesia have tried shopping on social media, with 46% of them having shopped for goods in TikTok Shop. Further, The Information reported that TikTok’s GMV in Southeast Asia quadrupled to $4.4 billion in 2022 according to sources familiar with internal data, as cited in Tech in Asia.While we can argue that TikTok has already had sizable users in the first place, it demonstrates how quickly companies can enter the competitive landscape and gain traction. As we are writing, TikTok is giving discount coupons to new customers. Our view is that while the industry is more rational, things could change quickly as new players enter the market with aggressive promotions and discounts. Existing players are likely to walk the same path to protect market share at the expense of possibly margin erosions, in our view.ValuationOur fair value estimate for Sea Limited is $88 per share (12% upside), derived from a 10-year DCF valuation (9% WACC, 4% long-term growth), implying a forward P/E of 51x. We made three scenarios suggesting that Sea’s fair value is between $61 per share and $124 per share. An aggressive 30% margin of safety to our base case scenario suggests an acceptable buying price of $62 per share (35x forward P/E). If you think 30% is too aggressive, $66 per share (25% margin of safety) is also a good entry point, in our view.Sea's 10-year DCF valuation (Vektor Research)Sea's valuation summary per cases (Vektor Research)Where We Are Different From The MarketConsensus expects revenue to grow 12% annually until 2025, while our base case estimate suggests a 16% top-line annual growth. We believe that low e-commerce penetration, take rate expansion, and large untapped markets for e-commerce and digital financial services will help drive Sea’s revenue growth despite further cost-efficiency efforts that will impact GMV growth. Further, the industry is heading toward profitability.Consensus revenue estimates (Seeking Alpha)On the other hand, while Sea believes that the take rate still has room for growth, competition is here to stay, as social commerce could force e-commerce companies to do more promotions and discounts, thus possibly hurting margins. Hence, investors should take Sea’s margin expansion story with a grain of salt.Indeed, there is a discrepancy between the market value and our fair value estimate. However, even a good business should be bought at the right price, thus applying an aggressive margin of safety makes a lot of sense.Consensus EPS estimates (Seeking Alpha)Analysts' target price (Seeking Alpha)ConclusionSea Limited is a great option to get exposure to emerging markets. While cost-efficiency efforts slowed GMV growth, Sea still has a long runway for growth, driven by a low e-commerce penetration rate, large unbanked population, and take rate expansion. The industry is also heading toward profitability, but it has low barriers to entry, with social commerce joining the bandwagon. Aggressive promotions and discounts by new players as a means of gaining market share are likely to force established players to provide discounts once again to defend their market share. Hence, investors should take the margin expansion story with a grain of salt.Our base case estimates suggest Sea’s fair value to be $88 per share, implying 51x forward P/E. A 30% margin of safety suggests that an attractive buying opportunity is $62 per share (35x forward P/E). At least $66 per share (25% margin of safety) is also a good entry point. Investment risk stems from social commerce that could intensify the competitive landscape, which could force existing players to do promotions and discounting.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":239,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9944797073,"gmtCreate":1682087223692,"gmtModify":1682087227211,"author":{"id":"3570853427202414","authorId":"3570853427202414","name":"BKT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/15cb8e8f0a7c44ca01c83b3bfdddbd86","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570853427202414","authorIdStr":"3570853427202414"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls

dominant storyline -- make that only storyline -- as two of Big Tech&#39;s biggest players prepare to announce quarterly results next week.</p><p>While Alphabet Inc.&#39;s (GOOGL)(GOOGL) Google reportedly races to develop a new search engine powered by AI, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a> Inc. (META) is changing its sales pitch to advertisers from a focus on the metaverse to artificial intelligence to drum up short-term revenue. Meta is expected to make an announcement around its plans next month.</p><p>With advertising sales -- their primary source of revenue -- in a funk, both companies are scrambling to shore up sales through the promise of AI. &#34;Brace for a long ad winter&#34; that &#34;may well persist&#34; until the second half of 2023, Evercore ISI analyst Mark Mahaney said in a note last week.</p><p>Meta&#39;s annual advertising revenue is expected to reach $51.35 billion in 2023, up 2.7% from $50 billion from 2022. It is forecast to grow 8% to $55.5 billion in 2024, according to market researcher Insider Intelligence. Facebook&#39;s parent company is expected to announce its latest round of layoffs on Wednesday.</p><p>Google, by comparison, is expected to haul in $71.5 billion in 2023, up 2.9% from $69.5 billion in 2022. Ad sales are expected to increase 6.2% to $75.92 billion in 2024. Like Meta, Google is rumored to be planning more layoffs soon.</p><p>&#34;AI is the hot thing. And Meta is playing down the metaverse [which inspired its corporate name change] for now in favor of AI with advertisers,&#34; Evelyn Mitchell, senior analyst at Insider Intelligence, told MarketWatch. &#34;It is a solid strategy during an unprecedented year of economic uncertainty after years of astronomical growth in tech.&#34;</p><p>Against a slowdown in ad sales, tech executives have incessantly hyped the promise of AI this year during earnings calls. Mentions of artificial intelligence soared 75% even as the number of companies referencing the technology has barely budged, according to a MarketWatch analysis of AlphaSense/Sentieo transcript data for companies worth at least $5 billion. They pointed to the operational efficiency of AI and its potential as a short-term revenue producer.</p><p>&#34;AI is the most profound technology we are working on today,&#34; Alphabet Chief Executive Sundar Pichai said during the company&#39;s last earnings call in January, according to a transcript provided by AlphaSense/Sentieo.</p><p>Read more: Tech execs didn&#39;t just start talking about AI -- but they are talking about it a lot more</p><p>Google&#39;s AI pivot is primarily motivated by the potential loss of Samsung Electronics Co. as a default-search-engine customer to rival Microsoft Corp.&#39;s (MSFT) Bing. Google stands to lose up to $3 billion in annual sales if Samsung bolts, though the South Korean company has yet to make a final decision, according to a New York Times report. An additional $20 billion is tied to a similar Apple Inc. (AAPL) deal that&#39;s up for renewal this year.</p><p>&#34;This is going to impact every product across every company,&#34; Pichai said about AI in a &#34;60 Minutes&#34; interview that aired Sunday night.</p><p>Soft ad sales in a wobbly economy dinged the revenue -- and stock -- of social-media companies in the previous quarter, prompting tens of thousands of layoffs. In addition to Meta and Google, Twitter Inc. and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNAP\">Snap Inc</a>.

The <strong>Nasdaq</strong> <strong>Composite</strong>, <strong>S&amp;P 500</strong>, and <strong>Dow Jones Industrial Average</strong> gained 16.7%, 7%, and 0.4%, respectively.</p><p>With the tech-heavy Nasdaq leading the way higher, some investors are wondering: What technology names are worth owning right now? </p><p>These three Motley Fool contributors are eyeing <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SE\">Sea Limited </a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SOFI\">SoFi Technologies </a>, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a>. Here&#39;s why.</p><h2>A banking crisis overshadows SoFi&#39;s numerous positives</h2><p><strong>Justin Pope</strong> <strong>(SoFi Technologies):</strong> It&#39;s been tough living as a digital bank for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SOFI\">SoFi Technologies</a>. The company&#39;s been plagued by a student loan freeze for several years, and the recent banking crisis has only shaken investor confidence in smaller lenders. Shares are trading near the low end of their 52-week range, down 77% from their high.</p><p>But the bank&#39;s on firmer ground than its share price might indicate. First, SoFi is well capitalized -- well above the minimum financial ratios regulators mandate, and its depositor base of 5.2 million members is more diversified than a bank like Silicon Valley Bank. Second, there&#39;s a student loan freeze in effect, which has hurt SoFi&#39;s loan refinancing business, which was huge before the pandemic.</p><p>However, it hasn&#39;t stopped SoFi from marching toward profitability. The company posted non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $143 million in 2022 and is guiding for $260 million to $280 million for 2023. Importantly, management expects net income under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to turn positive by the end of the year.</p><p>Between a banking crisis and a student loan freeze, it&#39;s hard to imagine what else could go wrong for SoFi. That&#39;s why the stock could rebound when the smoke clears. The student loan freeze seems on course to end later this year, and it looks like the government will do what&#39;s needed to ensure confidence in the banking system.</p><p>Then, investors might better appreciate SoFi&#39;s rapidly growing user base, looming profitability, and strong balance sheet. CEO Anthony Noto reiterated his confidence, buying roughly $1.2 million in stock last month. You can&#39;t predict when, but SoFi&#39;s stock could spring higher at the first sign of positive news.</p><h2>The tech conglomerate that may soon seem &#39;unlimited&#39;</h2><p><strong>Will Healy</strong> <strong>(Sea Limited): </strong>Admittedly, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SE\">Sea Limited</a> stock may appear to have moved too far too fast. Since falling to a low of just under $41 per share last November, it has more than doubled.</p><p>Still, in other ways, Sea Limited appears far from done. The tech conglomerate, which includes the e-commerce business Shopee and fintech segment Sea Money, has drawn investor interest amid a push to cut costs and turn profitable.</p><p>Sea Money has continued to grow at a triple-digit clip, though it only makes up around 10% of the company&#39;s revenue. Earlier in the year, Shopee reversed most of its expansion plans outside its core Southeast Asian market. But the strategy seems to have worked as e-commerce revenue of $7.3 billion rose 42% in 2022 compared with the prior year.</p><p>Additionally, the factor that could make Sea Limited&#39;s stock fully turn around is the reversal of declining revenue in its gaming segment, Garena. Garena&#39;s <em>Free Fire </em>was the world&#39;s most downloaded mobile game from 2019 to 2021, but its popularity has waned amid a decline in the gaming industry. Consequently, Garena&#39;s revenue dropped 9% in 2022 to $3.9 billion.</p><p>However, Newzoo forecasts player numbers will grow from 3.2 billion in 2022 to 3.5 billion by 2025. Such growth should help reverse declines in the gaming industry. That could accelerate Sea Limited&#39;s revenue growth, which in 2022 surged 25% to $12.4 billion.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7498cb1aa3bf16d1bb26dcaf39931135\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\"/></p><p>SE PS Ratio data by YCharts</p><p>Moreover, despite the recent surge in the stock price, investors should remember that Sea Limited sells at a discount of more than 70% from its all-time high in the fall of 2021. As a result, it trades at a P/S ratio of 4. That is just above all-time lows and well below the record sales multiple of just above 30 in 2021.</p><p>Such a valuation could induce investors to brave the waters. And given the entertainment stock&#39;s potential when all three segments are in a growth mode, the new bull market in Sea Limited stock may have only just begun.</p><h2>Adobe&#39;s stock is still a bargain</h2><p><strong>Jake Lerch (Adobe):</strong> Shares of software giant <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a> have been on a wild ride over the last year and a half. The stock is still more than 44% off its all-time high of $688.37, even after rallying 35% over the last six months.</p><p>Yet, to my eye, Adobe has room to run higher from here -- <em>much higher</em>. Why? Two reasons.</p><p>First, Wall Street has been wrong. Many analysts have expected a pullback in demand for Adobe&#39;s products that just hasn&#39;t materialized. The company has beaten earnings expectations in four straight quarters. Adobe&#39;s rockstar lineup of products, including Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXP.AU\">Experience</a> Cloud, continue to draw in new customers and help retain existing ones.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a973d5cfbfe76f197b5f5eae7c9931b1\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"449\"/></p><p>ADBE data by YCharts</p><p>Second, Adobe&#39;s valuation still looks attractive.

The Nasdaq Composite, S&P 500, and Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 16.7%, 7%, and 0.4%, respectively.With the tech-heavy Nasdaq leading the way higher, some investors are wondering: What technology names are worth owning right now? These three Motley Fool contributors are eyeing Sea Limited , SoFi Technologies , and Adobe. Here's why.A banking crisis overshadows SoFi's numerous positivesJustin Pope (SoFi Technologies): It's been tough living as a digital bank for SoFi Technologies. The company's been plagued by a student loan freeze for several years, and the recent banking crisis has only shaken investor confidence in smaller lenders. Shares are trading near the low end of their 52-week range, down 77% from their high.But the bank's on firmer ground than its share price might indicate. First, SoFi is well capitalized -- well above the minimum financial ratios regulators mandate, and its depositor base of 5.2 million members is more diversified than a bank like Silicon Valley Bank. Second, there's a student loan freeze in effect, which has hurt SoFi's loan refinancing business, which was huge before the pandemic.However, it hasn't stopped SoFi from marching toward profitability. The company posted non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $143 million in 2022 and is guiding for $260 million to $280 million for 2023. Importantly, management expects net income under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to turn positive by the end of the year.Between a banking crisis and a student loan freeze, it's hard to imagine what else could go wrong for SoFi. That's why the stock could rebound when the smoke clears. The student loan freeze seems on course to end later this year, and it looks like the government will do what's needed to ensure confidence in the banking system.Then, investors might better appreciate SoFi's rapidly growing user base, looming profitability, and strong balance sheet. CEO Anthony Noto reiterated his confidence, buying roughly $1.2 million in stock last month. You can't predict when, but SoFi's stock could spring higher at the first sign of positive news.The tech conglomerate that may soon seem 'unlimited'Will Healy (Sea Limited): Admittedly, Sea Limited stock may appear to have moved too far too fast. Since falling to a low of just under $41 per share last November, it has more than doubled.Still, in other ways, Sea Limited appears far from done. The tech conglomerate, which includes the e-commerce business Shopee and fintech segment Sea Money, has drawn investor interest amid a push to cut costs and turn profitable.Sea Money has continued to grow at a triple-digit clip, though it only makes up around 10% of the company's revenue. Earlier in the year, Shopee reversed most of its expansion plans outside its core Southeast Asian market. But the strategy seems to have worked as e-commerce revenue of $7.3 billion rose 42% in 2022 compared with the prior year.Additionally, the factor that could make Sea Limited's stock fully turn around is the reversal of declining revenue in its gaming segment, Garena. Garena's Free Fire was the world's most downloaded mobile game from 2019 to 2021, but its popularity has waned amid a decline in the gaming industry. Consequently, Garena's revenue dropped 9% in 2022 to $3.9 billion.However, Newzoo forecasts player numbers will grow from 3.2 billion in 2022 to 3.5 billion by 2025. Such growth should help reverse declines in the gaming industry. That could accelerate Sea Limited's revenue growth, which in 2022 surged 25% to $12.4 billion.SE PS Ratio data by YChartsMoreover, despite the recent surge in the stock price, investors should remember that Sea Limited sells at a discount of more than 70% from its all-time high in the fall of 2021. As a result, it trades at a P/S ratio of 4. That is just above all-time lows and well below the record sales multiple of just above 30 in 2021.Such a valuation could induce investors to brave the waters. And given the entertainment stock's potential when all three segments are in a growth mode, the new bull market in Sea Limited stock may have only just begun.Adobe's stock is still a bargainJake Lerch (Adobe): Shares of software giant Adobe have been on a wild ride over the last year and a half. The stock is still more than 44% off its all-time high of $688.37, even after rallying 35% over the last six months.Yet, to my eye, Adobe has room to run higher from here -- much higher. Why? Two reasons.First, Wall Street has been wrong. Many analysts have expected a pullback in demand for Adobe's products that just hasn't materialized. The company has beaten earnings expectations in four straight quarters. Adobe's rockstar lineup of products, including Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, and Experience Cloud, continue to draw in new customers and help retain existing ones.ADBE data by YChartsSecond, Adobe's valuation still looks attractive. As you can see above, Adobe's stock price has more or less tracked its trailing-12-month revenue over the last 10 years. However, right now, its stock price is lagging far behind its revenue. This is why the company's price-to-sales ratio stands at 10, below its long-term average of 12.I expect Adobe will deliver solid sales and earnings results going forward -- thanks to its subscription model and its best-of-breed creative software solutions. And if that happens, Adobe's stock could be off to the races.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":421,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9946715636,"gmtCreate":1681055395725,"gmtModify":1681055399250,"author":{"id":"3570853427202414","authorId":"3570853427202414","name":"BKT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/15cb8e8f0a7c44ca01c83b3bfdddbd86","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570853427202414","authorIdStr":"3570853427202414"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","text":"Pls like thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9946715636","repostId":"1144582463","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1144582463","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1681022046,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1144582463?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-04-09 14:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"BofA Securities Out With Top “Strong Buy” Stock Ideas for Q2 2023","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1144582463","media":"24/7 Wall St.","summary":"Incredibly, the first quarter is now history, after a volatile 90 days to start 2023 that saw the re","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Incredibly, the first quarter is now history, after a volatile 90 days to start 2023 that saw the return of bank failures, rising interest rates, the ongoing war in Ukraine, continued hot and sticky inflation, and a host of additional items that have kept the pressure on stocks. Despite all the negatives, each of the major indexes finished the quarter higher.

Despite all the negatives, each of the major indexes finished the quarter higher. The tech-heavy Nasdaq led the way, closing up almost 17%, while the S&P 500 scratched out a hard-fought 7% gain and the Dow Jones industrials just barely closed positive, up 0.5%.The question on the minds of many investors and traders is what the second quarter will bring. With a host of top strategists forecasting recession later this year, and interest rates likely to climb higher, it could be a more-of-the-same quarter. With a reported $508 billion moved to cash during the first quarter, there is plenty of dry powder for stocks, but will the economy remain strong enough for another big move higher?BofA Securities is among the first out with top ideas for the second quarter of 2023. Its research report has eight stocks to buy, long ideas that at first glance look like outstanding stock picks for growth investors. It also has two that are expected to underperform, CarMax Inc. and United Airlines Holdings Inc., which could be possible short sale candidates for investors who are more aggressive.It is important to remember that no single analyst report should be used as a sole basis for any buying or selling decision.CubeSmartThis self-storage real estate investment trust (REIT) may seem an odd beneficiary of rising rates, but it is one. CubeSmart (NASDAQ: CUBE) is a self-administered, self-managed REIT. Its self-storage properties are designed to offer affordable, easily accessible and secure storage space for residential and commercial customers. According to the Self-Storage Almanac, CubeSmart is one of the top three owners and operators of self-storage properties in the United States.In a rising rate environment, hard assets like real estate gain in value, and the self-storage REITs are also in a good position as capital expenditures and the need for additional capital are often very low.Investors receive a 4.13% dividend. The BofA Securities price target for CubeSmart stock is $64, and the consensus target is $51.40.FedExGiven the huge increase in internet shopping and sales, the delivery giant has a strong path for growth. FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) provides transportation, e-commerce and business services in the United States and internationally.Its FedEx Express segment offers express transportation, small-package ground delivery and freight transportation services; time-critical transportation services; and cross-border enablement, technology and e-commerce transportation solutions. The FedEx Ground segment provides day-certain delivery services to businesses and residences.

FedEx stock has a consensus target of $239.81.FlowserveThis company should get a boost from the potential for an improving economy, and the proposed infrastructure build. Flowserve Corp. (NYSE: FLS) designs, manufactures, distributes and services industrial flow management equipment in the United States, the Middle East, Europe and elsewhere.Its Flowserve Pump Division segment offers custom and pre-configured pumps and pump systems, mechanical seals, auxiliary systems, replacement parts, upgrades and related aftermarket services, including installation and commissioning services, seal systems spare parts, repairs, advanced diagnostics, rerate and upgrade solutions, retrofit programs and machining and asset management solutions.

Flowserve distributes its products through direct sales, distributors, and sales representatives.The dividend yield here is 2.32%.

(NYSE: LW) produces, distributes and markets value-added frozen potato products to retail and foodservice customers; grocery, mass merchants, club and specialty retailers; and businesses, educational institutions, independent restaurants, regional chain restaurants and convenience stores worldwide.The company offers frozen potatoes, commercial ingredients and appetizers under the Lamb Weston brand, as well as under various customer labels. It also offers its products under its owned or licensed brands, such as Grown in Idaho and Alexia, and other licensed brands, as well as under retailers’ brands. In addition, it engages in the vegetable and dairy businesses.Lamb Weston stock comes with a 1.07% dividend. The $115 BofA Securities price target compares with a $107.80 consensus target.Lowe’sThis leading home improvement retailer has a low 6% of foreign sales, and it remains a top pick at Goldman Sachs. Lowe’s Companies Inc (NYSE: LOW) has more than 2,000 stores in the United States and Canada. The company has tempered its new store opening plans and is focusing investments on technology and e-commerce capabilities, in addition to improving its retail store productivity.Lowe’s offers products for maintenance, repair, remodeling and home decorating.

Lowe’s Companies stock has a $278 target price at BofA Securities.NetflixThe entertainment and production giant has evolved in a big way over the past few years and could be ready to soar higher. Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) offers TV series, documentaries, feature films and mobile games across various genres and languages. It provides members the ability to receive streaming content through a host of internet-connected devices, including TVs, digital video players, television set-top boxes and mobile devices. The company has approximately 231 million paid members in 190 countries.The BofA report noted this:Supported by its world class brand, leading global subscriber base and position as a leading innovator, we believe Netflix is poised to outperform driven by four main drivers: (1) a crackdown on password sharing, (2) the introduction of a value oriented, ad-supported tier which expands the total-addressable-market and monetization, (3) an inflection point in free cash flow, and (4) a significant subscriber runway accelerating by the shift from linear to streaming.The BofA Securities price target of $410 is well above the $357.23 consensus figure.ProgressiveOne business that never seems to struggle is insurance, and this is a leader in the industry.

(NYSE: PGR) provides personal and commercial auto, personal residential and commercial property, general liability, and other specialty property-casualty insurance products and related services in the United States.

(NYSE:PLTR) stock has lost its post-earnings luster, as we cautioned investors to &#34;be fearful when others are greedy&#34; in our previous update.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As such, we believe it&#39;s opportune to assess whether the current buy levels are appropriate for investors who waited patiently for the momentum surge to dissipate as bottom fishers likely took profit.</p><p>Software or SaaS stocks represented by the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) have not followed through with Nasdaq&#39;s (NDX) (QQQ) outperformance since the start of 2023.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The QQQ&#39;s outperformance has been driven by the surge in semiconductor stocks (SOXX) (SMH) through the AI-hype cycle, as investors bet on companies providing the chips and software ecosystem to build the underlying infrastructure for AI training and inference.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As such, companies like Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD (AMD) have outperformed. Even recent laggard Intel (INTC) has performed remarkably well as investors rotated to semi stocks.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As one of the pre-eminent AI/ML plays among its SaaS peers, we believe PLTR will be able to leverage its well-developed capabilities as the world turns to more AI and not less.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Palantir&#39;s real-world outcomes through the deployment of its system and analytics have been proven, given its exposure and contracts with the US Department of Defense or DoD.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Moreover, the company announced recently that it had expanded its partnership with Microsoft Azure (MSFT) to the public sector. Accordingly, Palantir Federal Cloud Service, or PFCS, &#34;achieved FedRAMP authorization and accreditation to support workloads at US Department of Defense Impact Level or IL 4 and DoD IL5 on Microsoft Azure.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">As such, it has improved the integration capabilities for Palantir&#39;s government and commercial customers on Azure, enhancing its moat against other AI upstarts.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Palantir also published two noteworthy articles on AI ethics and efficacy, and AI automation, which we urge investors to parse.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Notably, Palantir noted an AI hype cycle going on as the investing community deliberates which of these companies could be a multi-bagger. However, the company also stressed that investors must be wary about what AI can and cannot achieve.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In other words, Palantir reminded investors not to fall for unproven hype that has not demonstrated its efficacy in real-world outcomes and without a solid and executable ethical bedrock (not just wishy-washy guidelines) to guide their actions. The company added:</p><blockquote>From self-driving vehicles to radiology and predicting job success based on candidate video snippets, there is a growing disillusionment with AI snake oil, alongside an increasing need to discover the credible bedrock underneath the sands of an AI hype cycle. In practice, this means examining what works, discarding what doesn’t, and recentering our moral frameworks around the contexts and whole-of-domain challenges of operationalized AI and away from vain musings about paper clips and trollies. We see both sides of this continued erosion of confidence as symptoms of a single confusion: the tendency to adopt lofty and often performative aspirations without working through the essential groundwork that should apply to any technology intended to be deployed in the real world. - <em>Palantir blog post on The Efficacy and Ethics of AI Must Move Beyond the Performative to the Operational</em></blockquote><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Hence, investors are urged not to fall into the fallacy of chasing hype trains that have yet to prove their worth. As such, when investing in AI/ML stocks, it&#39;s also important to consider whether they have the foundation to build effective AI systems that can solve real-world challenges.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Palantir stressed that its approach &#34;is to start with the operational context and build and adapt software solutions that contextualize challenges in full view of their complexities.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In addition, the company stresses that there are limitations to what its AI systems can achieve. Notably, this must be clearly communicated and aligned with &#34;morally defensible technologies.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Furthermore, the company stressed that its approach is not a &#34;comprehensive panacea&#34; but &#34;a tool among other tools, rather than as a standalone entity.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Makes sense? Palantir has been building AI systems for the last two decades. So if there&#39;s one company that has likely put in place a comprehensive framework for building and applying AI/ML technologies in deploying bespoke systems ethically, we believe Palantir stands out.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The company warned investors that other companies that don&#39;t have such a holistic framework could face unforeseen regulatory hurdles in the future, leading to &#34;AI winter,&#34; which could potentially scupper their business models.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Even the recent race between Google (GOOG) (GOOGL) and Microsoft has brought to the fore the ethical considerations in building and deploying their AI systems.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The need for speed to grab market share (Microsoft) and avoid possible disruption (Google) has lowered ethical guardrails. The NYT recently reported through interviews with current and former employees that the competition has intensified between the two tech behemoths to the point that both companies are willing &#34;to take greater risks with their ethical guidelines set up over the years to ensure their technology does not cause societal problems.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The NYT also surfaced an internal email by Microsoft Deputy CTO Sam Schillace that the failure to build with urgency was an &#34;absolutely fatal error in this moment to worry about things that can be fixed later.&#34;</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">With that in mind, we believe that Palantir is well-positioned to survive or even thrive when the regulatory backlash (We bet that it will come, just a matter of time) finally arrives.

It cautioned that possible regulatory backlash and reckoning could lead to a painful \"AI Winter.\"The company stressed that its systems are built on \"efficacy and ethics\" from the start, ensuring that they work and are \"morally defensible.\"With PLTR down nearly 25% from its February highs, investors can start to assess the opportunity to add exposure as PLTR pulls back to a more attractive level.Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:PLTR) stock has lost its post-earnings luster, as we cautioned investors to \"be fearful when others are greedy\" in our previous update.As such, we believe it's opportune to assess whether the current buy levels are appropriate for investors who waited patiently for the momentum surge to dissipate as bottom fishers likely took profit.Software or SaaS stocks represented by the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) have not followed through with Nasdaq's (NDX) (QQQ) outperformance since the start of 2023.The QQQ's outperformance has been driven by the surge in semiconductor stocks (SOXX) (SMH) through the AI-hype cycle, as investors bet on companies providing the chips and software ecosystem to build the underlying infrastructure for AI training and inference.As such, companies like Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD (AMD) have outperformed. Even recent laggard Intel (INTC) has performed remarkably well as investors rotated to semi stocks.As one of the pre-eminent AI/ML plays among its SaaS peers, we believe PLTR will be able to leverage its well-developed capabilities as the world turns to more AI and not less.Palantir's real-world outcomes through the deployment of its system and analytics have been proven, given its exposure and contracts with the US Department of Defense or DoD.Moreover, the company announced recently that it had expanded its partnership with Microsoft Azure (MSFT) to the public sector. Accordingly, Palantir Federal Cloud Service, or PFCS, \"achieved FedRAMP authorization and accreditation to support workloads at US Department of Defense Impact Level or IL 4 and DoD IL5 on Microsoft Azure.\"As such, it has improved the integration capabilities for Palantir's government and commercial customers on Azure, enhancing its moat against other AI upstarts.Palantir also published two noteworthy articles on AI ethics and efficacy, and AI automation, which we urge investors to parse.Notably, Palantir noted an AI hype cycle going on as the investing community deliberates which of these companies could be a multi-bagger. However, the company also stressed that investors must be wary about what AI can and cannot achieve.In other words, Palantir reminded investors not to fall for unproven hype that has not demonstrated its efficacy in real-world outcomes and without a solid and executable ethical bedrock (not just wishy-washy guidelines) to guide their actions. The company added:From self-driving vehicles to radiology and predicting job success based on candidate video snippets, there is a growing disillusionment with AI snake oil, alongside an increasing need to discover the credible bedrock underneath the sands of an AI hype cycle. In practice, this means examining what works, discarding what doesn’t, and recentering our moral frameworks around the contexts and whole-of-domain challenges of operationalized AI and away from vain musings about paper clips and trollies. We see both sides of this continued erosion of confidence as symptoms of a single confusion: the tendency to adopt lofty and often performative aspirations without working through the essential groundwork that should apply to any technology intended to be deployed in the real world. - Palantir blog post on The Efficacy and Ethics of AI Must Move Beyond the Performative to the OperationalHence, investors are urged not to fall into the fallacy of chasing hype trains that have yet to prove their worth. As such, when investing in AI/ML stocks, it's also important to consider whether they have the foundation to build effective AI systems that can solve real-world challenges.Palantir stressed that its approach \"is to start with the operational context and build and adapt software solutions that contextualize challenges in full view of their complexities.\"In addition, the company stresses that there are limitations to what its AI systems can achieve. Notably, this must be clearly communicated and aligned with \"morally defensible technologies.\"Furthermore, the company stressed that its approach is not a \"comprehensive panacea\" but \"a tool among other tools, rather than as a standalone entity.\"Makes sense? Palantir has been building AI systems for the last two decades. So if there's one company that has likely put in place a comprehensive framework for building and applying AI/ML technologies in deploying bespoke systems ethically, we believe Palantir stands out.The company warned investors that other companies that don't have such a holistic framework could face unforeseen regulatory hurdles in the future, leading to \"AI winter,\" which could potentially scupper their business models.Even the recent race between Google (GOOG) (GOOGL) and Microsoft has brought to the fore the ethical considerations in building and deploying their AI systems.The need for speed to grab market share (Microsoft) and avoid possible disruption (Google) has lowered ethical guardrails. The NYT recently reported through interviews with current and former employees that the competition has intensified between the two tech behemoths to the point that both companies are willing \"to take greater risks with their ethical guidelines set up over the years to ensure their technology does not cause societal problems.\"The NYT also surfaced an internal email by Microsoft Deputy CTO Sam Schillace that the failure to build with urgency was an \"absolutely fatal error in this moment to worry about things that can be fixed later.\"With that in mind, we believe that Palantir is well-positioned to survive or even thrive when the regulatory backlash (We bet that it will come, just a matter of time) finally arrives. Those companies that don't have the rock-solid foundation of Palantir could be sent to the \"AI Winter\" that Palantir argued.Hence, investors are urged to be wary about piling into any AI stock and ride the hype train of the moment.PLTR has declined nearly 25% from its February highs back to a level that we considered reasonable in early February. While it's not yet close to the attractive levels we highlighted in December, we believe investors who waited can consider looking for an opportunity to add exposure.However, the price action is not optimal and, therefore, not supported by constructive bottoming. Hence, investors should keep spare ammo to average down into more attractive zones if the volatility persists.Rating: Buy (Revised from Hold).","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":121,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9948764956,"gmtCreate":1680794720375,"gmtModify":1680794724266,"author":{"id":"3570853427202414","authorId":"3570853427202414","name":"BKT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/15cb8e8f0a7c44ca01c83b3bfdddbd86","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570853427202414","authorIdStr":"3570853427202414"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","text":"Pls like thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9948764956","repostId":"1114555542","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1114555542","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1680794782,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1114555542?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-04-06 23:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"How The S&P 500 Could See 4,500 And 3,000 By Year-End","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1114555542","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryA combination of the current macro environment, technical indicators, and some historical pre","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Summary</h2><ul><li><p>A combination of the current macro environment, technical indicators, and some historical precedents combine to make this a rare market climate.</p></li><li><p>This is the part of the market cycle where some wild performance events occur, in either direction or quite possibly both.</p></li><li><p>I continue to believe that there is an extremely high range of possible outcomes for the S&amp;P 500 the rest of this year.</p></li><li><p>Bottom line: We could see the index move 500 points from here in both directions before 2023 ends.</p></li></ul><p>That zebra in the picture is carrying a message for us all: 2023 is a year that, when we hear hoof beats coming, we shouldn&#39;t automatically think it&#39;s a horse.

Translated to investment terms: Expect the unexpected.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">This MOFO says the market still has many unresolved issues</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Here is the list of market-influencing factors I keep. I wrote about what I call the &#34;Market Outlook Factor Overview&#34; on Seeking Alpha back in February.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e1439a9cbd86699b1e4ffa30088b0db2\" alt=\"MOFO as of March, 2023\" title=\"MOFO as of March, 2023\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"172\"/><span>MOFO as of March, 2023</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>MOFO as of March 2023 (ModernIncomeInvestor.com)</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">What I notice in looking back over this list for the past year now is that the 10 components have not changed much. That is, the market is still trying to make a definitive choice about what to worry about and what it can comfortably put in the rearview mirror. Inflation is receding, at least for now. But it is not going away. Some may cheer 4-5% instead of 9% on this measure, but that is still well above what consumers are used to paying. Furthermore, sustained higher borrowing rates, especially for companies with BBB credit ratings or lower, are facing a refinancing wave during the next 12 months, and that may prove challenging. And, in some cases, may prompt serious going-concern issues for many companies. In other words, you can run a business on debt up to a certain point. And when that point is reached, it&#39;s a dead end. We are about at that point.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">I&#39;ll note a couple of other stubborn impediments that make the market even more uncertain than usual as we enter the second quarter of 2023. What&#39;s coming down the pike includes reduced corporate earnings, which we&#39;ll start seeing en masse within days. And we&#39;re only 3 months from a US government debt ceiling showdown. Then, there&#39;s fading enthusiasm for China&#39;s grand re-opening, not to mention the increasing gamesmanship over technology, balloons, and other areas of contention.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">When a professional hockey game is tied after 3 periods of 20 minutes each, the announcer might say, &#34;60 minutes is not enough to settle this one.&#34; Then, they go to overtime. That&#39;s what 2023 feels like: The overtime period from 2022. Same lingering issues, different year. And with the NHL playoffs around the corner, I feel obligated to remind you that in the playoffs, the game doesn&#39;t end in overtime until one team scores. That can result in games that go on for 2 or 3 additional periods or more, until someone finally puts one in the net. The equivalent with the stock market? Maybe we&#39;ll be in a trading range for years. It&#39;s happened before.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">That which doesn&#39;t kill bullish sentiment makes it stronger?</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">At the same time, even cautious investor types like me, who have been waiting for that proverbial other shoe to drop, are wondering if the bulls have taken all the bears can throw at them, and whether this will just be a gradual transition to a new bull market. But it will just take a while.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">To be clear: when it comes to market history, I don&#39;t reference it to say it will happen again the same way. I do believe that market history shows us what is possible, because it has happened before. That said, history is made all the time, like last year when stocks and bonds fell together in a way we have not seen in modern times. So, here are a couple of competing historical periods, one for the bulls and one for the bears.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">First, here&#39;s a fairly recent period (January 2015 through June 2016) where the S&amp;P 500 was as indecisive as it has been over the past 12 months. As a technician, I see a lot of failed attempts to break out, similar to what we&#39;ve seen since the start of 2022. We get rallies, but they fail. Then we get more excitement, bulls proclaim the bottom is in, and it is a thrilling time... for a few weeks or maybe a couple of months.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a7d238de596866092408e32712f1a459\" alt=\"Chart\" title=\"Chart\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\"/><span>Chart</span></p><p>Data by YCharts</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">It helps keep us grounded when we realize that the stock market doesn&#39;t always go up or down sustainably. Sometimes it just goes nowhere, and you try your best to find areas of outperformance at the sector, industry or thematic level. Or you focus more on generating income, since price appreciation is hard to muster.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">2008 post-Bear Stearns/pre-Lehman period: Some similarities</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">And then, there&#39;s this reminder from history. We just had a major banking industry scare. It might be over, but it probably isn&#39;t. No matter what your view is on it, you have a chance of being right.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">I am more concerned, as always, with how my investments ultimately fare rather than what events will occur. I am far from the only market participant who invested through 2008 and recalls vividly that the Bear Stearns crisis was the warning shot. The collapse of Lehman Brothers 6 months later is what nearly brought the economy and market to their knees. According to reports at the time, the US Treasury Secretary was literally brought to his knees, pleading for government action. That was a more dramatic version of what we just saw a few weeks ago. See the chart below from that year.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">On March 10, 2023, the leading stock market indexes bottomed, at least temporarily, as potential banking industry contagion was snuffed out. Ironically, that was the same date in 2008 when the SPDR® S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) bottomed, following the sale of ailing investment bank Bear Stearns, and so did Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ). From March 10, 2008 through June 5 of that year, a span of less than 3 months, SPY gained 10% and QQQ vaulted higher by 22%. You can see that move on the left side of the chart.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/900bf5b5806b26298064196127238635\" alt=\"Chart\" title=\"Chart\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\"/><span>Chart</span></p><p>Data by YCharts</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">What happened from that point (June 5, 2008)? The market came to realize that Bear Stearns was the first shoe to drop. Lehman was the second. And by November 19, 2008, SPY fell 42% and QQQ dropped by 47%.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Adding up the 2 periods, from March 10 to November 19, just over 8 months&#39; time, SPY&#39;s net loss was 31% and QQQ&#39;s a similar 33%. But why bring up this history? That was 15 years ago.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">The case for S&amp;P 4,500 this year</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Because I think it&#39;s a given that the stock market can break out and go wildly higher at any time. All it would take is what has happened many times since the Global Financial Crisis: central banks give in, flood the system with cheap money, and kick the debt can down the road. Fiscal insanity has been the norm for over a decade. And so, as much as I lean bearish here, and have since late 2021, all bets are off if the &#34;pivot,&#34; or at least the market&#39;s interpretation of one, becomes a reality. That could lift the market from its current SPY level of around $409 to about 10% higher, as occurred during the same time period in 2008. 10% on top of $409 is $450 on the SPY. Or about 4,500 on the S&amp;P 500. That&#39;s still below the all-time high set at the start of last year, but clearly within reach. And given the current &#34;first-class status&#34; given to QQQ, on the assumption that the giant technology companies are a source of relative safety right now, that market measure could go much higher, as it did in 2008 before the big drop occurred. So far, so good on that analog, given the strong performance of QQQ and SPY since that March 10 low this year.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/847a90fa93dc0489f87c3ce665ae4755\" alt=\"Chart\" title=\"Chart\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\"/><span>Chart</span></p><p>Data by YCharts</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">The case for S&amp;P 3,000 this year</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Whether it is the banking malaise, a domino effect from it, or any combination of that and the list of MOFO items I listed above... or something not even on the market&#39;s radar yet, we cannot dismiss the possibility that we&#39;ll see much lower levels in the major indexes before 2023 is over. To paraphrase John Belushi&#39;s character in the classic movie &#34;Animal House,&#34; nothing is over until the market decides it is!</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">When the recent banking crisis low occurred, the S&amp;P 500 was at $386. In 2008 and again in 2020, the market showed us that it can fall very hard in just a matter of months or even weeks. If the second shoe drops, whatever the reason, it seems apparent to me from some of the sharp late-day selloffs we&#39;ve already seen this year that liquidity could dry up very quickly.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">So, take that $386 SPY top and knock 31% off of it, a la 2008, and you get $266, or about 2,660 on the S&amp;P 500. Let&#39;s be generous and round that up to 3,000. The point here is not the specific figures. It is that we have a collection of factors, mostly negative, but with the offset of an ever-optimistic crowd ready to pounce on any sign that the Fed will save the day. Besides, back in 2008, the market fell 37% for the year, but the first 9 weeks of 2009 were just as bad. So 3,000 is enough downward-facing projection for one article.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">2008 is an analog, and I am far from the first to pair 2023&#39;s market activity with it. We all realize that projecting the future is a Wall Street tradition, but the accuracy of those projections is not. However, my main point again is this: conditions are ripe for a period of extreme swings in the major markets.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Portfolio strategy</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">My views continue as they have been:</p><ol><li><p>Play defense first. Short-term US Treasuries are historically attractive, and active defense, either via ETFs like the ProShares Short S&amp;P500 ETF (SH), the ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (VIXY), or buying put options on SPY or the S&amp;P 500 itself are all examples to consider.</p></li><li><p>Find ways to play offense for that potential &#34;melt-up&#34; described above. As I mentioned in a recent article, I have used out-of-the-money QQQ call options, but any broad market equity ETF can potentially be a tactical weapon at times like these.

It could be a rarer, horse-like animal, a zebra. Translated to investment terms: Expect the unexpected.This MOFO says the market still has many unresolved issuesHere is the list of market-influencing factors I keep. I wrote about what I call the \"Market Outlook Factor Overview\" on Seeking Alpha back in February.MOFO as of March, 2023MOFO as of March 2023 (ModernIncomeInvestor.com)What I notice in looking back over this list for the past year now is that the 10 components have not changed much. That is, the market is still trying to make a definitive choice about what to worry about and what it can comfortably put in the rearview mirror. Inflation is receding, at least for now. But it is not going away. Some may cheer 4-5% instead of 9% on this measure, but that is still well above what consumers are used to paying. Furthermore, sustained higher borrowing rates, especially for companies with BBB credit ratings or lower, are facing a refinancing wave during the next 12 months, and that may prove challenging. And, in some cases, may prompt serious going-concern issues for many companies. In other words, you can run a business on debt up to a certain point. And when that point is reached, it's a dead end. We are about at that point.I'll note a couple of other stubborn impediments that make the market even more uncertain than usual as we enter the second quarter of 2023. What's coming down the pike includes reduced corporate earnings, which we'll start seeing en masse within days. And we're only 3 months from a US government debt ceiling showdown. Then, there's fading enthusiasm for China's grand re-opening, not to mention the increasing gamesmanship over technology, balloons, and other areas of contention.When a professional hockey game is tied after 3 periods of 20 minutes each, the announcer might say, \"60 minutes is not enough to settle this one.\" Then, they go to overtime. That's what 2023 feels like: The overtime period from 2022. Same lingering issues, different year. And with the NHL playoffs around the corner, I feel obligated to remind you that in the playoffs, the game doesn't end in overtime until one team scores. That can result in games that go on for 2 or 3 additional periods or more, until someone finally puts one in the net. The equivalent with the stock market? Maybe we'll be in a trading range for years. It's happened before.That which doesn't kill bullish sentiment makes it stronger?At the same time, even cautious investor types like me, who have been waiting for that proverbial other shoe to drop, are wondering if the bulls have taken all the bears can throw at them, and whether this will just be a gradual transition to a new bull market. But it will just take a while.To be clear: when it comes to market history, I don't reference it to say it will happen again the same way. I do believe that market history shows us what is possible, because it has happened before. That said, history is made all the time, like last year when stocks and bonds fell together in a way we have not seen in modern times. So, here are a couple of competing historical periods, one for the bulls and one for the bears.First, here's a fairly recent period (January 2015 through June 2016) where the S&P 500 was as indecisive as it has been over the past 12 months. As a technician, I see a lot of failed attempts to break out, similar to what we've seen since the start of 2022. We get rallies, but they fail. Then we get more excitement, bulls proclaim the bottom is in, and it is a thrilling time... for a few weeks or maybe a couple of months.ChartData by YChartsIt helps keep us grounded when we realize that the stock market doesn't always go up or down sustainably. Sometimes it just goes nowhere, and you try your best to find areas of outperformance at the sector, industry or thematic level. Or you focus more on generating income, since price appreciation is hard to muster.2008 post-Bear Stearns/pre-Lehman period: Some similaritiesAnd then, there's this reminder from history. We just had a major banking industry scare. It might be over, but it probably isn't. No matter what your view is on it, you have a chance of being right.I am more concerned, as always, with how my investments ultimately fare rather than what events will occur. I am far from the only market participant who invested through 2008 and recalls vividly that the Bear Stearns crisis was the warning shot. The collapse of Lehman Brothers 6 months later is what nearly brought the economy and market to their knees. According to reports at the time, the US Treasury Secretary was literally brought to his knees, pleading for government action. That was a more dramatic version of what we just saw a few weeks ago. See the chart below from that year.On March 10, 2023, the leading stock market indexes bottomed, at least temporarily, as potential banking industry contagion was snuffed out. Ironically, that was the same date in 2008 when the SPDR® S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) bottomed, following the sale of ailing investment bank Bear Stearns, and so did Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ). From March 10, 2008 through June 5 of that year, a span of less than 3 months, SPY gained 10% and QQQ vaulted higher by 22%. You can see that move on the left side of the chart.ChartData by YChartsWhat happened from that point (June 5, 2008)? The market came to realize that Bear Stearns was the first shoe to drop. Lehman was the second. And by November 19, 2008, SPY fell 42% and QQQ dropped by 47%.Adding up the 2 periods, from March 10 to November 19, just over 8 months' time, SPY's net loss was 31% and QQQ's a similar 33%. But why bring up this history? That was 15 years ago.The case for S&P 4,500 this yearBecause I think it's a given that the stock market can break out and go wildly higher at any time. All it would take is what has happened many times since the Global Financial Crisis: central banks give in, flood the system with cheap money, and kick the debt can down the road. Fiscal insanity has been the norm for over a decade. And so, as much as I lean bearish here, and have since late 2021, all bets are off if the \"pivot,\" or at least the market's interpretation of one, becomes a reality. That could lift the market from its current SPY level of around $409 to about 10% higher, as occurred during the same time period in 2008. 10% on top of $409 is $450 on the SPY. Or about 4,500 on the S&P 500. That's still below the all-time high set at the start of last year, but clearly within reach. And given the current \"first-class status\" given to QQQ, on the assumption that the giant technology companies are a source of relative safety right now, that market measure could go much higher, as it did in 2008 before the big drop occurred. So far, so good on that analog, given the strong performance of QQQ and SPY since that March 10 low this year.ChartData by YChartsThe case for S&P 3,000 this yearWhether it is the banking malaise, a domino effect from it, or any combination of that and the list of MOFO items I listed above... or something not even on the market's radar yet, we cannot dismiss the possibility that we'll see much lower levels in the major indexes before 2023 is over. To paraphrase John Belushi's character in the classic movie \"Animal House,\" nothing is over until the market decides it is!When the recent banking crisis low occurred, the S&P 500 was at $386. In 2008 and again in 2020, the market showed us that it can fall very hard in just a matter of months or even weeks. If the second shoe drops, whatever the reason, it seems apparent to me from some of the sharp late-day selloffs we've already seen this year that liquidity could dry up very quickly.So, take that $386 SPY top and knock 31% off of it, a la 2008, and you get $266, or about 2,660 on the S&P 500. Let's be generous and round that up to 3,000. The point here is not the specific figures. It is that we have a collection of factors, mostly negative, but with the offset of an ever-optimistic crowd ready to pounce on any sign that the Fed will save the day. Besides, back in 2008, the market fell 37% for the year, but the first 9 weeks of 2009 were just as bad. So 3,000 is enough downward-facing projection for one article.2008 is an analog, and I am far from the first to pair 2023's market activity with it. We all realize that projecting the future is a Wall Street tradition, but the accuracy of those projections is not. However, my main point again is this: conditions are ripe for a period of extreme swings in the major markets.Portfolio strategyMy views continue as they have been:Play defense first. Short-term US Treasuries are historically attractive, and active defense, either via ETFs like the ProShares Short S&P500 ETF (SH), the ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (VIXY), or buying put options on SPY or the S&P 500 itself are all examples to consider.Find ways to play offense for that potential \"melt-up\" described above. As I mentioned in a recent article, I have used out-of-the-money QQQ call options, but any broad market equity ETF can potentially be a tactical weapon at times like these. Just think \"rent it\" instead of \"buy and hold it,\" unless you vehemently disagree with my assessment that upside is limited and the downside is gigantic for the foreseeable future.Stay humble. Respect market history, learn from it, but don't take it literally. Use it to assess what is reasonably possible. Because the biggest mistake I've seen investors make is underestimating how bad things can get when a crisis like that of the banks shows us its cards and the investor turns the other way.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":166,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9948765220,"gmtCreate":1680794656160,"gmtModify":1680794660806,"author":{"id":"3570853427202414","authorId":"3570853427202414","name":"BKT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/15cb8e8f0a7c44ca01c83b3bfdddbd86","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570853427202414","authorIdStr":"3570853427202414"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","text":"Pls like thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":28,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9948765220","repostId":"2325064360","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2325064360","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1680794909,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2325064360?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-04-06 23:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"These Stocks Are Warren Buffett's 3 Largest AI-Fueled Investments","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2325064360","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Berkshire Hathaway's team invested in many \"AI stocks\" -- and not all of them are in the tech sector.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Despite the recent optimism and hype surrounding stocks associated with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), AI-focused investment strategies probably don&#39;t attract much interest from famed investor Warren Buffett -- at least, not directly. Buffett, who has spoken briefly about both the potential and the drawbacks of these technologies, would likely have less interest in being a direct AI investor. Emerging technologies tend to foster money-losing tech stocks, and history has usually proven him right when he was skeptical of such assets.</p><p>However, many of the stocks Buffett already owns have made him and the <strong>Berkshire Hathaway</strong> team into AI investors by default, as many of his smaller investments -- stocks like <strong>Amazon</strong>, <strong>Activision Blizzard</strong>, and <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a></strong> -- make extensive use of the technology. Moreover, three of Berkshire&#39;s largest holdings make significant use of AI, and only one would fit the formal definition of a &#34;tech stock.&#34;</p><h2>1. Apple</h2><p>Buffett&#39;s Berkshire Hathaway did not buy <strong>Apple</strong> for its AI-driven functionality, and AI is not a key reason that Apple now accounts for 44% of the value in the conglomerate&#39;s stock portfolio. Nonetheless, AI and ML play roles in enhancing virtually every current product and service offered by Apple. FaceID, voice recognition, and numerous apps are just some of the AI-driven features in its iPhone.</p><p>Additionally, the company invested heavily in AI and ML research. It funds Apple Scholars, university students who conduct AI research. Also, its AIML Residency Program works with experts across several disciplines. These industry leaders build new AI and ML-driven products and services. While the results of its programs are difficult to predict, they will likely enhance Apple&#39;s influence and leadership in the AI industry.</p><p>With the market&#39;s focus on AI increasing, Apple&#39;s stock is moving in the right direction. It has risen by more than 30% since the beginning of 2023. </p><p>The increase in the stock price raised its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio to 28, making it an increasingly expensive company to buy. But as AI&#39;s influence over Apple&#39;s products and services grows, market-beating returns are probably still within reach for new investors.</p><h2>2. Bank of America</h2><p>Its name may condition investors to see <strong>Bank of America</strong> as a bank, but given its heavy investments in technology, it has arguably evolved into more of a fintech stock. Those tech investments came amid its emergence from the 2008-09 financial crisis, and among the largest banks, it has become a fintech leader. Global Finance named it the &#34;Most Innovative Digital Bank&#34; in 2022.</p><p>On the AI side, BofA describes Erica, its AI-driven assistant, as the engine that brings &#34;personalized banking&#34; to its clients. Erica delivers personalized insights and helps monitor accounts, identifying issues such as duplicate charges or changes in spending patterns.</p><p>Understandably, the liquidity issues that caused the collapses of <strong>SVB Financial</strong>&#39;s Silicon Valley Bank, <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SI\">Silvergate Capital</a></strong>&#39;s Silvergate Bank, and others have weighed on the banking sector. Despite BofA&#39;s stability, its stock price is down modestly since the beginning of the year. That price drop took its P/E ratio to 9, its lowest level since the beginning of the pandemic.</p><p>Even though BofA makes up 9% of Berkshire&#39;s portfolio, the recent sell-off could be good news for Buffett and other investors. Since the industry&#39;s recent troubles do not affect Bank of America directly, now might be an opportune time to buy shares.</p><h2>3. Chevron</h2><p><strong>Chevron</strong>&#39;s growing AI capabilities are probably not prominent among the reasons why Buffett&#39;s team has continued to add to its large position in the energy giant. Nonetheless, Chevron accounts for 8% of the value in Berkshire&#39;s equity portfolio, and the technology will play at least an indirect role in boosting the value of the oil stock.</p><p>Today&#39;s energy industry relies heavily on technology for various business activities. One area where AI in particular benefits Chevron is data management. To that end, it partnered with <strong>Microsoft </strong>and <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PATH\">UiPath</a></strong> to automate data extraction into back-end systems. Because this process is now being handled automatically, Chevron&#39;s business analysts can spend more time on tasks that add more value.</p><p>Additionally, Chevron applies AI to extract information from drilling reports. The technology can tell researchers how different types of rocks impact a hydrocarbon reservoir. These studies reduce the need to drill exploratory wells, reducing the environmental impact of Chevron&#39;s activities.</p><p>Chevron&#39;s stock price is down for 2023, and due to that decline, its P/E ratio of around 9 is in the neighborhood of its multiyear low. Still, the recent announcement by several members of OPEC+ (a group of nations allied with OPEC to cut production in order to boost oil prices) that they will cut crude oil output next month has brought investors back to oil stocks, indicating the stock might soon be heading higher.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>These Stocks Are Warren Buffett's 3 Largest AI-Fueled Investments</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\">\nThese Stocks Are Warren Buffett's 3 Largest AI-Fueled Investments\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-04-06 23:28 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/04/05/stocks-warren-buffett-largest-ai-investments/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Despite the recent optimism and hype surrounding stocks associated with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), AI-focused investment strategies probably don't attract much interest ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/04/05/stocks-warren-buffett-largest-ai-investments/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果","BAC":"美国银行","CVX":"雪佛龙"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/04/05/stocks-warren-buffett-largest-ai-investments/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2325064360","content_text":"Despite the recent optimism and hype surrounding stocks associated with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), AI-focused investment strategies probably don't attract much interest from famed investor Warren Buffett -- at least, not directly.

These industry leaders build new AI and ML-driven products and services. While the results of its programs are difficult to predict, they will likely enhance Apple's influence and leadership in the AI industry.With the market's focus on AI increasing, Apple's stock is moving in the right direction. It has risen by more than 30% since the beginning of 2023. The increase in the stock price raised its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio to 28, making it an increasingly expensive company to buy. But as AI's influence over Apple's products and services grows, market-beating returns are probably still within reach for new investors.2. Bank of AmericaIts name may condition investors to see Bank of America as a bank, but given its heavy investments in technology, it has arguably evolved into more of a fintech stock. Those tech investments came amid its emergence from the 2008-09 financial crisis, and among the largest banks, it has become a fintech leader. Global Finance named it the \"Most Innovative Digital Bank\" in 2022.On the AI side, BofA describes Erica, its AI-driven assistant, as the engine that brings \"personalized banking\" to its clients. Erica delivers personalized insights and helps monitor accounts, identifying issues such as duplicate charges or changes in spending patterns.Understandably, the liquidity issues that caused the collapses of SVB Financial's Silicon Valley Bank, Silvergate Capital's Silvergate Bank, and others have weighed on the banking sector. Despite BofA's stability, its stock price is down modestly since the beginning of the year. That price drop took its P/E ratio to 9, its lowest level since the beginning of the pandemic.Even though BofA makes up 9% of Berkshire's portfolio, the recent sell-off could be good news for Buffett and other investors. Since the industry's recent troubles do not affect Bank of America directly, now might be an opportune time to buy shares.3. ChevronChevron's growing AI capabilities are probably not prominent among the reasons why Buffett's team has continued to add to its large position in the energy giant. Nonetheless, Chevron accounts for 8% of the value in Berkshire's equity portfolio, and the technology will play at least an indirect role in boosting the value of the oil stock.Today's energy industry relies heavily on technology for various business activities. One area where AI in particular benefits Chevron is data management. To that end, it partnered with Microsoft and UiPath to automate data extraction into back-end systems. Because this process is now being handled automatically, Chevron's business analysts can spend more time on tasks that add more value.Additionally, Chevron applies AI to extract information from drilling reports. The technology can tell researchers how different types of rocks impact a hydrocarbon reservoir. These studies reduce the need to drill exploratory wells, reducing the environmental impact of Chevron's activities.Chevron's stock price is down for 2023, and due to that decline, its P/E ratio of around 9 is in the neighborhood of its multiyear low. Still, the recent announcement by several members of OPEC+ (a group of nations allied with OPEC to cut production in order to boost oil prices) that they will cut crude oil output next month has brought investors back to oil stocks, indicating the stock might soon be heading higher.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":270,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9948674231,"gmtCreate":1680707273023,"gmtModify":1680707276518,"author":{"id":"3570853427202414","authorId":"3570853427202414","name":"BKT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/15cb8e8f0a7c44ca01c83b3bfdddbd86","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570853427202414","authorIdStr":"3570853427202414"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please like thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Please like thanks&nbsp;","text":"Please like thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9948674231","repostId":"2324800035","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2324800035","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1680645600,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2324800035?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-04-05 06:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is It Time to Buy the S&P 500's 3 Worst-Performing March Stocks?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2324800035","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Which industry had the worst month?

Let&#39;s take a look at the big losers and see if they are worth a closer look as a possible investment or should be avoided.</p><h2>Banks had the worst month</h2><p>The three worst-performing stocks on the S&amp;P 500 in March were <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FRC\">First Republic Bank</a></strong>, <strong>Zions Bancorp</strong>, and <strong>Comerica</strong>. First Republic was down a whopping 88.6% in March, while Zions was down 38.2%, and Comerica fell 36.7% for the month.</p><p>These three banks all have a few things in common. For one, all three are regional banks. Small and regional banks took the biggest hits in the bank sell-off after Signature Bank and <strong>SVB Financial</strong>&#39;s Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapsed after a run on deposits. The second reason is more germane to why these three banks, in particular, saw their stock prices tumble: They all have a large number of uninsured deposits.</p><p>Both SVB and Signature Bank had the highest level of uninsured deposits, by far, with more than 90% of total deposits uninsured. But among regional banks, First Republic was third, at about 68%, while Comerica was not far behind at 64%, and Zions was in the top 10 among regional banks with 52% in uninsured deposits.</p><p>What are uninsured deposits and why does this matter? Uninsured deposits refer to any cash in accounts in excess of $250,000. Since the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) only insures deposits up to $250,000, money over that amount would be uninsured. As account holders pulled their deposits from SVB and then Signature, the contagion spread to other, similar banks that had high levels of uninsured deposits -- most notably First Republic.</p><p>However, it&#39;s worth noting that the run that hurt SVB was unique in that SVB had too much money invested in long-term held-to-maturity (HTM) bonds that it couldn&#39;t sell, thus hurting its liquidity after deposit outflows. First Republic, Zions, and Comerica didn&#39;t have nearly as much tied up in HTM bonds, as this article by the Motley Fool&#39;s Bram Berkowitz explains. That still didn&#39;t stop panicked investors from pulling deposits, at least initially.  </p><p>The banking crisis got national attention starting around March 8-9. By March 13, federal regulators stepped in to ensure that any banks that needed liquidity would get it through their Bank Term Funding Program, to avoid another bank failure. On March 16, the 11 largest U.S. banks committed to providing a lifeline to First Republic in the form of $30 billion in deposits to bolster its liquidity and assure other First Republic depositors that it had cash on hand to handle transactions.</p><h2>Is the worst over?</h2><p>First Republic, Zions, and Comerica have stabilized since that initial drop following the bank failures. But the massive drops in their stock prices brought their valuations down to dirt cheap levels.</p><p>Comerica is trading at 4.8 times earnings, down from a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 8.8 at the end of 2022, while Zions is trading at 4.7 times earnings, down from 9.2 on Dec. 31. First Republic is even cheaper, with a P/E ratio of just 1.7, down from 14.5 at the end of 2022.</p><p>The worst is probably over for these bank stocks, but there&#39;s still too much volatility and uncertainty surrounding regional banks, as there&#39;s been a flight by depositors to larger, more regulated banks. Also, Congress is debating whether or not there should be further regulations on small to mid-sized banks -- those with less than $250 billion in assets that aren&#39;t subject to stress tests. This is something to watch for.</p><p>In addition, these are not banks I would have recommended before the meltdown, just because there are better deals elsewhere in the industry. That hasn&#39;t changed now.</p><p>But these three stocks are very cheap, so the low valuation is intriguing.

In my view, the December quarter and also TTM 2022 earnings are quite solid, especially when the challenges were considered. As commented by Daniel Zhang, Chairman and CEO of BABA, &#34;We delivereda solid quarter despite softer demand, supply chain and logistics disruptions due to the impact of changes in COVID-19 measures.&#34;</p><p>Against this backdrop, the main thesis of this article is to argue that even better days lie ahead for BABA. And yet, it&#39;s currently trading at a valuation that is unjustifiable low, thus creating an attractive entry opportunity. Some of the key catalysts in the next 1 year or so include:</p><ol><li>I now see a potential thawing of relations between Chinese regulatory authorities and big technology firms. In recent years, regulators have taken a hard stance onChinese tech companies but, given the struggling domestic economy and the impacts created by the COVID pandemic, I see signs that the authorities are now more focused on returning the country to growth mode. For example, Ant Group recently received a regulatory greenlight for raising $1.5 billion in capital to further expand its consumer business.</li><li>Moreover, COVID-19-related headwinds should start to abate, thereby supporting a healthier economic backdrop and improved consumer spending. Even amid the COVID challenges, according to Toby Xu, the CFO of BABA, the company&#39;s profit growth has been strong due to its efforts to improve operating efficiency and cost optimization in the past. In the meantime, BABA&#39;s net cash position remains healthy (more on this later) and I see the company well-poised to resume strong cash flow growth once the macroeconomic environment improves.</li></ol><p>In the remainder of this article, I will examine its profitability, capital allocation flexibility, and also valuation to better support the above thesis.</p><h2>Profitability remains strong even amid the COVID</h2><p>Alibaba undoubtedly suffered severe profit headwinds in the past few years due to a range of factors including the aforementioned regulatory tightening, elevated operating costs, and softened consumer demand due to COVID, as you can see clearly from the following two charts.</p><p>The first chart shows its return on capital employed (&#34;ROCE&#34;) in recent years, highlighting the year 2022. As seen, the company&#39;s profitability has suffered significantly, and its ROCE retreated from almost 97% in Q1 of 2022 to about 64% based on TTM 2022 financial results. The second chart, taken from its December earnings report (&#34;ER&#34;), shows its operating margin falling to a meager 3% by the end of 2021.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/775962b980f1a52e82eefa6f686e7f31\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"273\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: author based on SA data</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6bf1ca45d0e17dd2a07e50964b47ec46\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"398\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>BABA 2022 Dec Quarter ER</span></p><p>Nonetheless, BABA&#39;s profitability remained robust enough amid these strong headwinds, and now I see signs that the trend is turning. As shown in the next chart below, its current ROCE of 64% is on par with the FAAMG group. Furthermore, its profit margins have drastically improved in the past year. As shown in the chart above, its operating margin has improved from 3% as reported in its December 2021 quarter year to 14% during the most recent reporting period. In the meantime, the adjusted EBITDA margin also expanded from 21% in December 2021 to 24% in the most recent reporting period.</p><p>Next, I will argue that thanks to its strong net cash position, the company is well-poised to resume full speed growth once the macroeconomic environment improves.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c5cd3d966b42ec845e591c777f39fecc\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"297\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Source: author and Seeking Alpha.</span></p><h2>Capital allocation remains highly flexible</h2><p>BABA has historically always maintained a strong financial position. However, its financial position has been weakened to some degree due to its commitment to the Chinese common prosperity funds, high tax rates, fines, and regulatory changes. To wit, its $15.5B pledge to the common prosperity fund over the next five years translates to a commitment of $3.1B per year. Despite all these, for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 (see the next chart below), it reported an operating cash flow totaling $24.4B, putting a better context for the above commitment (and also its cash obligations for investing and financing obligations).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/24ce0c7eda03d424d4d459006356452a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"184\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>BABA 2022 Dec Quarter ER</span></p><p>In the meantime, the company maintains a large cash position on its ledger. Total Cash and cash equivalents currently hover around $75.3B as shown below. It has a relatively low debt level (totaling $27.7B), resulting in a sizable net positive cash position. All told, these numbers translate into a cash position of around $10.9 per ADS, which is about 13.1% of its current shares.</p><p>And as to be discussed next, it&#39;s significantly higher than other comparable peers and makes its valuation even lower than on the surface.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/58a82bcf990b6168407941953b59ca39\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"202\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Seeking alpha data</span></p><h2>Valuation unjustifiable</h2><p>According to SA data, the FY1 P/E of Alibaba is about 10.8x only, only a fraction of the valuation multiple of peers like AAPL, GOOG, and AMZN. And bear in mind that, as just mentioned, there is roughly $10.9 worth of cash per ADS (about 13.1% of the current share price), dramatically higher than the other stocks listed here.

In my view, the December quarter and also TTM 2022 earnings are quite solid, especially when the challenges were considered. As commented by Daniel Zhang, Chairman and CEO of BABA, \"We delivereda solid quarter despite softer demand, supply chain and logistics disruptions due to the impact of changes in COVID-19 measures.\"Against this backdrop, the main thesis of this article is to argue that even better days lie ahead for BABA. And yet, it's currently trading at a valuation that is unjustifiable low, thus creating an attractive entry opportunity. Some of the key catalysts in the next 1 year or so include:I now see a potential thawing of relations between Chinese regulatory authorities and big technology firms. In recent years, regulators have taken a hard stance onChinese tech companies but, given the struggling domestic economy and the impacts created by the COVID pandemic, I see signs that the authorities are now more focused on returning the country to growth mode. For example, Ant Group recently received a regulatory greenlight for raising $1.5 billion in capital to further expand its consumer business.Moreover, COVID-19-related headwinds should start to abate, thereby supporting a healthier economic backdrop and improved consumer spending. Even amid the COVID challenges, according to Toby Xu, the CFO of BABA, the company's profit growth has been strong due to its efforts to improve operating efficiency and cost optimization in the past. In the meantime, BABA's net cash position remains healthy (more on this later) and I see the company well-poised to resume strong cash flow growth once the macroeconomic environment improves.In the remainder of this article, I will examine its profitability, capital allocation flexibility, and also valuation to better support the above thesis.Profitability remains strong even amid the COVIDAlibaba undoubtedly suffered severe profit headwinds in the past few years due to a range of factors including the aforementioned regulatory tightening, elevated operating costs, and softened consumer demand due to COVID, as you can see clearly from the following two charts.The first chart shows its return on capital employed (\"ROCE\") in recent years, highlighting the year 2022. As seen, the company's profitability has suffered significantly, and its ROCE retreated from almost 97% in Q1 of 2022 to about 64% based on TTM 2022 financial results. The second chart, taken from its December earnings report (\"ER\"), shows its operating margin falling to a meager 3% by the end of 2021.Source: author based on SA dataBABA 2022 Dec Quarter ERNonetheless, BABA's profitability remained robust enough amid these strong headwinds, and now I see signs that the trend is turning. As shown in the next chart below, its current ROCE of 64% is on par with the FAAMG group. Furthermore, its profit margins have drastically improved in the past year. As shown in the chart above, its operating margin has improved from 3% as reported in its December 2021 quarter year to 14% during the most recent reporting period. In the meantime, the adjusted EBITDA margin also expanded from 21% in December 2021 to 24% in the most recent reporting period.Next, I will argue that thanks to its strong net cash position, the company is well-poised to resume full speed growth once the macroeconomic environment improves.Source: author and Seeking Alpha.Capital allocation remains highly flexibleBABA has historically always maintained a strong financial position. However, its financial position has been weakened to some degree due to its commitment to the Chinese common prosperity funds, high tax rates, fines, and regulatory changes. To wit, its $15.5B pledge to the common prosperity fund over the next five years translates to a commitment of $3.1B per year. Despite all these, for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 (see the next chart below), it reported an operating cash flow totaling $24.4B, putting a better context for the above commitment (and also its cash obligations for investing and financing obligations).BABA 2022 Dec Quarter ERIn the meantime, the company maintains a large cash position on its ledger. Total Cash and cash equivalents currently hover around $75.3B as shown below. It has a relatively low debt level (totaling $27.7B), resulting in a sizable net positive cash position. All told, these numbers translate into a cash position of around $10.9 per ADS, which is about 13.1% of its current shares.And as to be discussed next, it's significantly higher than other comparable peers and makes its valuation even lower than on the surface.Seeking alpha dataValuation unjustifiableAccording to SA data, the FY1 P/E of Alibaba is about 10.8x only, only a fraction of the valuation multiple of peers like AAPL, GOOG, and AMZN. And bear in mind that, as just mentioned, there is roughly $10.9 worth of cash per ADS (about 13.1% of the current share price), dramatically higher than the other stocks listed here. AMZN has the second-highest cash per share as a percentage of its share price at 5.2%.When the cash position is adjusted, BABA's FY1 P/E is in the single-digit: only 9.4x.Source: author and Seeking Alpha data.Risks and final thoughtsBABA is subject to various risks, and prospective investors should definitely exercise caution due to the significant uncertainties involved here. To start, as detailed in our earlier articles, some of these risks could result in a complete loss (such as with the VIE risk) or substantial losses (such as with the delisting risks).Here I will focus on risks that are more relevant to the specific catalysts I mentioned earlier.

While artificial intelligence (AI) is currently garnering a lot of attention, it&#39;s electric vehicles (EVs) that may have the more impressive runway.</p><p>According to estimates from Beyond Market Insights, the global EV market is expected to grow by a compound annual rate of 22.5% between 2022 and 2030. Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency expects that, by 2030, EVs will represent more than 60% of vehicles sold globally. In other words, EVs are about as surefire a growth opportunity as it gets.</p><p>The big question is this: Which companies are poised to benefit? Wall Street analysts and pundits believe they have the answer. Based on the non-time-specific price targets offered by three analysts/pundits, the following three EV stocks offer 176% to 705% upside.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8c32c1f25c12a4c5ae7d359bfb69dbf1\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"/></p><p>Two Rivian R1Ts climbing a hill. Image source: Rivian Automotive.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/RIVN\">Rivian</a> Automotive: Implied upside of 363%</h2><p>The first EV stock at least one Wall Street analyst believes will hit the proverbial gas and rocket higher is <strong>Rivian Automotive</strong>. Rivian, which was, arguably, the hottest initial public offering (IPO) of 2021, is expected to run to $63 per share, according to <strong>Piper Sandler</strong> analyst Alexander Potter. Keep in mind that Piper Sandler was a co-manager of Rivian&#39;s IPO, so it&#39;s possible that could have something to do with its lofty price target. </p><p>Rivian actually put itself on EV investors&#39; maps well before it went public in November 2021. In September 2019, it landed a deal with e-commerce behemoth <strong>Amazon</strong> (AMZN -0.09%) to deliver 100,000 electric delivery vans (EDVs) by 2030.  While Amazon has, at times, more operating cash flow than it knows what to do with, it wouldn&#39;t have placed an order for 100,000 EDVs without doing its homework. Choosing Rivian instantly validated the company as a potential long-term winner in the EV space.</p><p>What can help Rivian stand out with John and Jane Q consumers? Answer: its R1T electric pickup truck. Although <strong>Ford Motor Company</strong> and <strong>General Motors</strong> are moving forward with EV versions of their top-selling, heavy-duty trucks, the Rivian R1T is in a class of its own. It&#39;s effectively a luxury pickup that&#39;s fully capable of going off-road. With minimal competition in the luxury category, the R1T has a chance to be a real winner.</p><p>But it&#39;s not all peaches and cream for Rivian (or its peers). Although it closed out 2022 with approximately $12 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, Rivian is burning through its capital at an extraordinary pace. It&#39;s spending $5 billion to build a manufacturing plant in Georgia that&#39;s set to come online next year. Also, the company is losing, on average, more than $1 billion per quarter on an operating basis as it ramps up production.</p><p>To make matters worse, Rivian has been bitten by the recall bug. Four weeks ago, the company announced that it would recall 12,700 of its R1T pickups and R1S SUVs for a faulty airbag sensor.  Last October, the company recalled more than 12,000 of its vehicles to address a loose fastener. While recalls are something all automakers deal with, it&#39;s terrible timing for Rivian.</p><p>Unless the company significantly reduces its cash burn and successfully overcomes recent supply chain challenges, a $63 price target is likely out of reach.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NIO\">Nio</a>: Implied upside of 176%</h2><p>A second electric vehicle stock with phenomenal future upside is China-based <strong>Nio</strong>. Analyst Vijay Rakesh of <strong>Mizuho</strong> foresees shares of the fast-growing Chinese automaker hitting $25. If accurate, this would work out to a gain of 176%.</p><p>One reason for the excitement surrounding Nio is its location. China is the largest auto market in the world, and EV market share is very much up for grabs. With China abandoning its zero-COVID mitigation strategy in December, a reopened economy bodes well for future EV demand.</p><p>However, it&#39;s Nio&#39;s various forms of innovation that do most of the talking. The company introduces at least one new model every year. The two sedans it brought to showrooms last year, the ET7 and ET5, have been very well received and are accounting for more than half of all monthly deliveries.</p><p>To add to this point, Nio&#39;s vehicles tend to target middle-to-upper-income consumers. People with higher incomes are usually less prone to alter their buying habits when the Chinese economy experiences &#34;hiccups.&#34;</p><p>What&#39;s more, Nio&#39;s battery-as-a-service (BaaS) subscription, which was introduced in August 2020, has been a big hit. BaaS allows EV buyers to charge, swap, and upgrade their batteries, as well as receive a discount on the initial purchase price of their vehicle. In return, Nio receives high-margin, recurring subscription revenue and locks its buyers into the brand for (hopefully) a long time to come.</p><p>But achieving a $25 price target won&#39;t be without its challenges. Supply chain issues throughout China have constrained Nio&#39;s production expansion efforts. While management believes up to 250,000 EVs can be delivered this year, the company looks to be on track for around (or possibly even less than) 40,000 EV deliveries in the first quarter, which works out to a 160,000 EV annual run rate.</p><p>It could also be difficult for Nio shares to nearly triple if profitability remains elusive. Using generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Nio produced a net loss of $2.09 billion last year. Though a reopened China should help reduce this loss, weak stock market sentiment isn&#39;t doing Nio any favors.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6e1f183d2da6094a52c83e265bc1f2be\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"/></p><p>The Model 3 is Tesla&#39;s flagship sedan. Image source: Tesla.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla</a>: Implied upside of 705%</h2><p>But the EV stock with the most tantalizing upside is none other than North America&#39;s largest EV producer, <strong>Tesla</strong>. The CEO and CIO of Ark Invest, Cathie Wood, has made a case for Tesla hitting $4,600 (note, this was prior to the company&#39;s 3-for-1 split last August). On a split-adjusted basis, Wood&#39;s $1,533.33 price target for Tesla implies more than 700% upside in the years to come.</p><p>The two key selling points with Tesla are the company&#39;s scale and operating performance. In terms of scale, Tesla delivered 1.31 million EVs in 2022 and produced 1.37 million vehicles. With activity ramping up at the Berlin, Germany and Austin, Texas gigafactories, the expectation is for at least 1.8 million EVs produced this year.</p><p>The other differentiating factor for Tesla is its profitability. Tesla has delivered three consecutive years of GAAP profits and is no longer reliant on selling renewable energy credits to other automakers to achieve profitability. Although EVs are one of the fastest growth opportunities of the decade, the EV divisions of new and legacy automakers are almost all losing money. In short, Tesla has shown that, thus far, its operating model works.</p><p>However, achieving a $1,500-plus price target is <em>highly</em> unlikely for a variety of reasons.</p><p>To begin with, Tesla&#39;s first-mover advantages appear to be waning. The company reduced the price of its flagship Model 3 sedan and Model Y SUV in the U.S. and China in recent months. Although Tesla bulls would attribute this price cut to the company becoming more efficient at producing vehicles, the writing is on the wall that increasing competition and rising inventory levels are to blame.</p><p>Another substantial headwind is that it&#39;s just a car company. All of Tesla&#39;s ancillary operations, including its solar/energy and services operations, produce low margins and are losing money once below-the-line expenses are factored in. Tesla&#39;s profitability is entirely dependent on selling and leasing EVs. Whereas auto stocks often trade at 6 to 8 times earnings, Tesla is priced at 49 times Wall Street&#39;s forecast earnings per share for 2023.</p><p>Yet the biggest issue that could keep Tesla from getting anywhere near Cathie Wood&#39;s price target is CEO Elon Musk.

While artificial intelligence (AI) is currently garnering a lot of attention, it's electric vehicles (EVs) that may have the more impressive runway.According to estimates from Beyond Market Insights, the global EV market is expected to grow by a compound annual rate of 22.5% between 2022 and 2030. Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency expects that, by 2030, EVs will represent more than 60% of vehicles sold globally. In other words, EVs are about as surefire a growth opportunity as it gets.The big question is this: Which companies are poised to benefit? Wall Street analysts and pundits believe they have the answer. Based on the non-time-specific price targets offered by three analysts/pundits, the following three EV stocks offer 176% to 705% upside.Two Rivian R1Ts climbing a hill. Image source: Rivian Automotive.Rivian Automotive: Implied upside of 363%The first EV stock at least one Wall Street analyst believes will hit the proverbial gas and rocket higher is Rivian Automotive. Rivian, which was, arguably, the hottest initial public offering (IPO) of 2021, is expected to run to $63 per share, according to Piper Sandler analyst Alexander Potter. Keep in mind that Piper Sandler was a co-manager of Rivian's IPO, so it's possible that could have something to do with its lofty price target. Rivian actually put itself on EV investors' maps well before it went public in November 2021. In September 2019, it landed a deal with e-commerce behemoth Amazon (AMZN -0.09%) to deliver 100,000 electric delivery vans (EDVs) by 2030.  While Amazon has, at times, more operating cash flow than it knows what to do with, it wouldn't have placed an order for 100,000 EDVs without doing its homework. Choosing Rivian instantly validated the company as a potential long-term winner in the EV space.What can help Rivian stand out with John and Jane Q consumers? Answer: its R1T electric pickup truck. Although Ford Motor Company and General Motors are moving forward with EV versions of their top-selling, heavy-duty trucks, the Rivian R1T is in a class of its own. It's effectively a luxury pickup that's fully capable of going off-road. With minimal competition in the luxury category, the R1T has a chance to be a real winner.But it's not all peaches and cream for Rivian (or its peers). Although it closed out 2022 with approximately $12 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, Rivian is burning through its capital at an extraordinary pace. It's spending $5 billion to build a manufacturing plant in Georgia that's set to come online next year. Also, the company is losing, on average, more than $1 billion per quarter on an operating basis as it ramps up production.To make matters worse, Rivian has been bitten by the recall bug. Four weeks ago, the company announced that it would recall 12,700 of its R1T pickups and R1S SUVs for a faulty airbag sensor.  Last October, the company recalled more than 12,000 of its vehicles to address a loose fastener. While recalls are something all automakers deal with, it's terrible timing for Rivian.Unless the company significantly reduces its cash burn and successfully overcomes recent supply chain challenges, a $63 price target is likely out of reach.Nio: Implied upside of 176%A second electric vehicle stock with phenomenal future upside is China-based Nio. Analyst Vijay Rakesh of Mizuho foresees shares of the fast-growing Chinese automaker hitting $25. If accurate, this would work out to a gain of 176%.One reason for the excitement surrounding Nio is its location. China is the largest auto market in the world, and EV market share is very much up for grabs. With China abandoning its zero-COVID mitigation strategy in December, a reopened economy bodes well for future EV demand.However, it's Nio's various forms of innovation that do most of the talking. The company introduces at least one new model every year. The two sedans it brought to showrooms last year, the ET7 and ET5, have been very well received and are accounting for more than half of all monthly deliveries.To add to this point, Nio's vehicles tend to target middle-to-upper-income consumers. People with higher incomes are usually less prone to alter their buying habits when the Chinese economy experiences \"hiccups.\"What's more, Nio's battery-as-a-service (BaaS) subscription, which was introduced in August 2020, has been a big hit. BaaS allows EV buyers to charge, swap, and upgrade their batteries, as well as receive a discount on the initial purchase price of their vehicle. In return, Nio receives high-margin, recurring subscription revenue and locks its buyers into the brand for (hopefully) a long time to come.But achieving a $25 price target won't be without its challenges. Supply chain issues throughout China have constrained Nio's production expansion efforts. While management believes up to 250,000 EVs can be delivered this year, the company looks to be on track for around (or possibly even less than) 40,000 EV deliveries in the first quarter, which works out to a 160,000 EV annual run rate.It could also be difficult for Nio shares to nearly triple if profitability remains elusive. Using generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Nio produced a net loss of $2.09 billion last year. Though a reopened China should help reduce this loss, weak stock market sentiment isn't doing Nio any favors.The Model 3 is Tesla's flagship sedan. Image source: Tesla.Tesla: Implied upside of 705%But the EV stock with the most tantalizing upside is none other than North America's largest EV producer, Tesla. The CEO and CIO of Ark Invest, Cathie Wood, has made a case for Tesla hitting $4,600 (note, this was prior to the company's 3-for-1 split last August). On a split-adjusted basis, Wood's $1,533.33 price target for Tesla implies more than 700% upside in the years to come.The two key selling points with Tesla are the company's scale and operating performance. In terms of scale, Tesla delivered 1.31 million EVs in 2022 and produced 1.37 million vehicles. With activity ramping up at the Berlin, Germany and Austin, Texas gigafactories, the expectation is for at least 1.8 million EVs produced this year.The other differentiating factor for Tesla is its profitability. Tesla has delivered three consecutive years of GAAP profits and is no longer reliant on selling renewable energy credits to other automakers to achieve profitability. Although EVs are one of the fastest growth opportunities of the decade, the EV divisions of new and legacy automakers are almost all losing money. In short, Tesla has shown that, thus far, its operating model works.However, achieving a $1,500-plus price target is highly unlikely for a variety of reasons.To begin with, Tesla's first-mover advantages appear to be waning. The company reduced the price of its flagship Model 3 sedan and Model Y SUV in the U.S. and China in recent months. Although Tesla bulls would attribute this price cut to the company becoming more efficient at producing vehicles, the writing is on the wall that increasing competition and rising inventory levels are to blame.Another substantial headwind is that it's just a car company. All of Tesla's ancillary operations, including its solar/energy and services operations, produce low margins and are losing money once below-the-line expenses are factored in. Tesla's profitability is entirely dependent on selling and leasing EVs. Whereas auto stocks often trade at 6 to 8 times earnings, Tesla is priced at 49 times Wall Street's forecast earnings per share for 2023.Yet the biggest issue that could keep Tesla from getting anywhere near Cathie Wood's price target is CEO Elon Musk. Musk may be a visionary, but he's also a huge liability for the company. He's been a magnet for securities regulators on more than one occasion and has made a laundry list of promises that have gone unfulfilled. Many of these promises are already baked into Tesla's share price, which leaves little room for error.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":48,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9941598042,"gmtCreate":1680363104687,"gmtModify":1680363109758,"author":{"id":"3570853427202414","authorId":"3570853427202414","name":"BKT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/15cb8e8f0a7c44ca01c83b3bfdddbd86","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570853427202414","authorIdStr":"3570853427202414"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please like thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Please like thanks&nbsp;","text":"Please like thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":35,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9941598042","repostId":"2323082382","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2323082382","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1680318323,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2323082382?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-04-01 11:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Growth Stocks That Turned $20,000 Into $1 Million In the Last Decade","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2323082382","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These monster growth stocks have made patient shareholders much richer in the last 10 years.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>A few big winners can turn a mediocre portfolio into a monster portfolio. <strong>Nvidia</strong> and <strong>Tesla</strong> are proof of that. Shares of Nvidia soared 8,250% over the past decade, meaning an initial investment of $20,000 would now be worth $1.7 million. Similarly, shares of Tesla climbed 7,340% over the past decade, turning an initial investment of $20,000 into nearly $1.5 million.</p><p>Are these growth stocks still worth buying?</p><h2>1. Nvidia</h2><p>Semiconductor company Nvidia stumbled last year as high inflation reduced demand for its gaming and data center chips. Revenue remained flat at $27 billion and free cash flow fell 53% to $3.8 billion. Unfortunately, management expects current quarter revenue to decline 22% as economic headwinds continue to suppress demand, though guidance implies operating expenses will also fall sharply.</p><p>However, Nvidia should find it easy to reaccelerate growth when economic conditions improve. Its graphics processing units (GPUs) are the gold standard for rendering realistic visual effects in video games and films, and for accelerating complex data center workloads like scientific computing and artificial intelligence (AI). In fact, Nvidia GPUs hold more than 90% market share in workstation graphics and supercomputer accelerators.</p><p>The company has recently branched into cloud software and services. Omniverse Cloud is a 3D design platform for metaverse applications. DGX Cloud provides on-demand access to Nvidia AI infrastructure, and it includes frameworks that accelerate AI application development in areas like retail, logistics, and healthcare. Nvidia also provides generative AI services for text, images, and video. For instance, investment company Morningstar uses the Nvidia NeMo model to scan and summarize financial documents.</p><p>Those cloud services build on the brand authority Nvidia has cultivated as a chipmaker, and they create new revenue streams that offer more regular cash flow and higher margins than the sale of cyclical hardware products. Management values its addressable market at $1 trillion, and Nvidia should benefit greatly as technologies like the metaverse and AI continue to evolve.</p><p>Currently, shares trade at 24.4 times sales, above the three-year average of 20.7 times sales. That valuation is far from cheap, but Nvidia is the heart of the burgeoning AI industry, so investors should still consider buying a small position in this growth stock today.</p><h2>2. Tesla</h2><p>Tesla faced an onslaught of headwinds last year. Supply chain problems and factory closures hindered production, while high inflation and rising interest rates hammered sales across the auto industry. Tesla managed to grow deliveries 40% to 1.3 million vehicles, but that figure fell short of its medium-term guidance calling for 50% annual growth. Fourth-quarter deliveries also fell short of the Wall Street consensus by a wide margin.</p><p>Some analysts have explained that shortfall as a demand problem, but management brushed those concerns aside during the latest earnings call. CEO Elon Musk said the company was receiving orders at nearly twice the rate of production. Better yet, despite encountering a number of roadblocks throughout the year, Tesla reported impressive financial results. Revenue increased 51% to $81.5 billion, and GAAP net income soared 122% to $3.62 per diluted share. Tesla also led the industry with 18.2% market share in battery electric vehicles.</p><p>Additionally, the company achieved an operating margin of 16.8% last year, the highest among any volume carmaker. Musk attributes that accomplishment to manufacturing prowess, noting that Tesla has the most advanced manufacturing technology on the planet. Better yet, there are several reasons to believe the company will become more profitable in the future.</p><p>Tesla should see its logistics costs fall as production ramps at Gigafactory Berlin, its first European factory, simply because the company can now produce cars locally in that market. Tesla is also scaling production of its 4680 battery cell, a technology that promises to reinforce its cost leadership in battery pack production. The company can already produce battery packs (the most expensive part of an electric car) at a lower cost per kilowatt-hour than any other carmaker, but management says the 4680 cell will eventually cut costs by 56%.</p><p>Finally, Tesla sees significant margin upside from its full self-driving (FSD) software. A beta version of the product was released to customers in North America last year, and Tesla plans to take the next step toward autonomous ride hailing by mass-producing a robotaxi next year. Ultimately, management believes FSD technology will be the company&#39;s most important source of profitability.</p><p>Tesla sits in front of a sizable market opportunity. Global electric car sales are expected to grow at 23% annually to hit $1.1 trillion by 2030, according to Precedence Research. And the autonomous vehicles market is expected to grow at 40% annually to reach $2.1 trillion by 2030, according to Research and Markets. As the current leader in battery electric vehicles and one of the leading AI companies (according to Musk), Tesla is set to benefit from both tailwinds. The stock currently trades at 8 times sales, a very rich valuation for a carmaker.</p><p>Investors must decide whether Tesla is a carmaker that dabbles in AI, or an AI company that makes cars. Those who find the second description more accurate should consider buying a few shares of this growth stock today.

Nvidia and Tesla are proof of that. Shares of Nvidia soared 8,250% over the past decade, meaning an initial investment of $20,000 would now be worth $1.7 million. Similarly, shares of Tesla climbed 7,340% over the past decade, turning an initial investment of $20,000 into nearly $1.5 million.Are these growth stocks still worth buying?1. NvidiaSemiconductor company Nvidia stumbled last year as high inflation reduced demand for its gaming and data center chips. Revenue remained flat at $27 billion and free cash flow fell 53% to $3.8 billion. Unfortunately, management expects current quarter revenue to decline 22% as economic headwinds continue to suppress demand, though guidance implies operating expenses will also fall sharply.However, Nvidia should find it easy to reaccelerate growth when economic conditions improve. Its graphics processing units (GPUs) are the gold standard for rendering realistic visual effects in video games and films, and for accelerating complex data center workloads like scientific computing and artificial intelligence (AI). In fact, Nvidia GPUs hold more than 90% market share in workstation graphics and supercomputer accelerators.The company has recently branched into cloud software and services. Omniverse Cloud is a 3D design platform for metaverse applications. DGX Cloud provides on-demand access to Nvidia AI infrastructure, and it includes frameworks that accelerate AI application development in areas like retail, logistics, and healthcare. Nvidia also provides generative AI services for text, images, and video. For instance, investment company Morningstar uses the Nvidia NeMo model to scan and summarize financial documents.Those cloud services build on the brand authority Nvidia has cultivated as a chipmaker, and they create new revenue streams that offer more regular cash flow and higher margins than the sale of cyclical hardware products. Management values its addressable market at $1 trillion, and Nvidia should benefit greatly as technologies like the metaverse and AI continue to evolve.Currently, shares trade at 24.4 times sales, above the three-year average of 20.7 times sales. That valuation is far from cheap, but Nvidia is the heart of the burgeoning AI industry, so investors should still consider buying a small position in this growth stock today.2. TeslaTesla faced an onslaught of headwinds last year. Supply chain problems and factory closures hindered production, while high inflation and rising interest rates hammered sales across the auto industry. Tesla managed to grow deliveries 40% to 1.3 million vehicles, but that figure fell short of its medium-term guidance calling for 50% annual growth. Fourth-quarter deliveries also fell short of the Wall Street consensus by a wide margin.Some analysts have explained that shortfall as a demand problem, but management brushed those concerns aside during the latest earnings call. CEO Elon Musk said the company was receiving orders at nearly twice the rate of production. Better yet, despite encountering a number of roadblocks throughout the year, Tesla reported impressive financial results. Revenue increased 51% to $81.5 billion, and GAAP net income soared 122% to $3.62 per diluted share. Tesla also led the industry with 18.2% market share in battery electric vehicles.Additionally, the company achieved an operating margin of 16.8% last year, the highest among any volume carmaker. Musk attributes that accomplishment to manufacturing prowess, noting that Tesla has the most advanced manufacturing technology on the planet. Better yet, there are several reasons to believe the company will become more profitable in the future.Tesla should see its logistics costs fall as production ramps at Gigafactory Berlin, its first European factory, simply because the company can now produce cars locally in that market. Tesla is also scaling production of its 4680 battery cell, a technology that promises to reinforce its cost leadership in battery pack production. The company can already produce battery packs (the most expensive part of an electric car) at a lower cost per kilowatt-hour than any other carmaker, but management says the 4680 cell will eventually cut costs by 56%.Finally, Tesla sees significant margin upside from its full self-driving (FSD) software. A beta version of the product was released to customers in North America last year, and Tesla plans to take the next step toward autonomous ride hailing by mass-producing a robotaxi next year. Ultimately, management believes FSD technology will be the company's most important source of profitability.Tesla sits in front of a sizable market opportunity. Global electric car sales are expected to grow at 23% annually to hit $1.1 trillion by 2030, according to Precedence Research. And the autonomous vehicles market is expected to grow at 40% annually to reach $2.1 trillion by 2030, according to Research and Markets. As the current leader in battery electric vehicles and one of the leading AI companies (according to Musk), Tesla is set to benefit from both tailwinds. The stock currently trades at 8 times sales, a very rich valuation for a carmaker.Investors must decide whether Tesla is a carmaker that dabbles in AI, or an AI company that makes cars. Those who find the second description more accurate should consider buying a few shares of this growth stock today. If Tesla does indeed disrupt the mobility industry with robotaxis, its revenue (and margins) could grow quickly and the current valuation multiple could fall in a hurry.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":74,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9941286860,"gmtCreate":1680276514550,"gmtModify":1680276518188,"author":{"id":"3570853427202414","authorId":"3570853427202414","name":"BKT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/15cb8e8f0a7c44ca01c83b3bfdddbd86","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570853427202414","authorIdStr":"3570853427202414"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please like thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Please like thanks&nbsp;","text":"Please like thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":33,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9941286860","repostId":"2323711625","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2323711625","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1680275946,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2323711625?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-31 23:19","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Stock: One Chart That Shows Why This is the Top EV Stock to Buy Now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2323711625","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"There's one massive difference between Tesla and the rest.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The shift to electric is coming.

Buffett, who has spoken briefly about both the potential and the drawbacks of these technologies, would likely have less interest in being a direct AI investor. Emerging technologies tend to foster money-losing tech stocks, and history has usually proven him right when he was skeptical of such assets.</p><p>However, many of the stocks Buffett already owns have made him and the <strong>Berkshire Hathaway</strong> team into AI investors by default, as many of his smaller investments -- stocks like <strong>Amazon</strong>, <strong>Activision Blizzard</strong>, and <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a></strong> -- make extensive use of the technology. Moreover, three of Berkshire&#39;s largest holdings make significant use of AI, and only one would fit the formal definition of a &#34;tech stock.&#34;</p><h2>1. Apple</h2><p>Buffett&#39;s Berkshire Hathaway did not buy <strong>Apple</strong> for its AI-driven functionality, and AI is not a key reason that Apple now accounts for 44% of the value in the conglomerate&#39;s stock portfolio. Nonetheless, AI and ML play roles in enhancing virtually every current product and service offered by Apple. FaceID, voice recognition, and numerous apps are just some of the AI-driven features in its iPhone.</p><p>Additionally, the company invested heavily in AI and ML research. It funds Apple Scholars, university students who conduct AI research. Also, its AIML Residency Program works with experts across several disciplines. These industry leaders build new AI and ML-driven products and services. While the results of its programs are difficult to predict, they will likely enhance Apple&#39;s influence and leadership in the AI industry.</p><p>With the market&#39;s focus on AI increasing, Apple&#39;s stock is moving in the right direction. It has risen by more than 30% since the beginning of 2023. </p><p>The increase in the stock price raised its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio to 28, making it an increasingly expensive company to buy. But as AI&#39;s influence over Apple&#39;s products and services grows, market-beating returns are probably still within reach for new investors.</p><h2>2. Bank of America</h2><p>Its name may condition investors to see <strong>Bank of America</strong> as a bank, but given its heavy investments in technology, it has arguably evolved into more of a fintech stock. Those tech investments came amid its emergence from the 2008-09 financial crisis, and among the largest banks, it has become a fintech leader. Global Finance named it the &#34;Most Innovative Digital Bank&#34; in 2022.</p><p>On the AI side, BofA describes Erica, its AI-driven assistant, as the engine that brings &#34;personalized banking&#34; to its clients. Erica delivers personalized insights and helps monitor accounts, identifying issues such as duplicate charges or changes in spending patterns.</p><p>Understandably, the liquidity issues that caused the collapses of <strong>SVB Financial</strong>&#39;s Silicon Valley Bank, <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SI\">Silvergate Capital</a></strong>&#39;s Silvergate Bank, and others have weighed on the banking sector. Despite BofA&#39;s stability, its stock price is down modestly since the beginning of the year. That price drop took its P/E ratio to 9, its lowest level since the beginning of the pandemic.</p><p>Even though BofA makes up 9% of Berkshire&#39;s portfolio, the recent sell-off could be good news for Buffett and other investors. Since the industry&#39;s recent troubles do not affect Bank of America directly, now might be an opportune time to buy shares.</p><h2>3. Chevron</h2><p><strong>Chevron</strong>&#39;s growing AI capabilities are probably not prominent among the reasons why Buffett&#39;s team has continued to add to its large position in the energy giant. Nonetheless, Chevron accounts for 8% of the value in Berkshire&#39;s equity portfolio, and the technology will play at least an indirect role in boosting the value of the oil stock.</p><p>Today&#39;s energy industry relies heavily on technology for various business activities. One area where AI in particular benefits Chevron is data management. To that end, it partnered with <strong>Microsoft </strong>and <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PATH\">UiPath</a></strong> to automate data extraction into back-end systems. Because this process is now being handled automatically, Chevron&#39;s business analysts can spend more time on tasks that add more value.</p><p>Additionally, Chevron applies AI to extract information from drilling reports.

Buffett, who has spoken briefly about both the potential and the drawbacks of these technologies, would likely have less interest in being a direct AI investor. Emerging technologies tend to foster money-losing tech stocks, and history has usually proven him right when he was skeptical of such assets.However, many of the stocks Buffett already owns have made him and the Berkshire Hathaway team into AI investors by default, as many of his smaller investments -- stocks like Amazon, Activision Blizzard, and Snowflake -- make extensive use of the technology. Moreover, three of Berkshire's largest holdings make significant use of AI, and only one would fit the formal definition of a \"tech stock.\"1. AppleBuffett's Berkshire Hathaway did not buy Apple for its AI-driven functionality, and AI is not a key reason that Apple now accounts for 44% of the value in the conglomerate's stock portfolio. Nonetheless, AI and ML play roles in enhancing virtually every current product and service offered by Apple. FaceID, voice recognition, and numerous apps are just some of the AI-driven features in its iPhone.Additionally, the company invested heavily in AI and ML research. It funds Apple Scholars, university students who conduct AI research. Also, its AIML Residency Program works with experts across several disciplines. These industry leaders build new AI and ML-driven products and services. While the results of its programs are difficult to predict, they will likely enhance Apple's influence and leadership in the AI industry.With the market's focus on AI increasing, Apple's stock is moving in the right direction. It has risen by more than 30% since the beginning of 2023. The increase in the stock price raised its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio to 28, making it an increasingly expensive company to buy. But as AI's influence over Apple's products and services grows, market-beating returns are probably still within reach for new investors.2. Bank of AmericaIts name may condition investors to see Bank of America as a bank, but given its heavy investments in technology, it has arguably evolved into more of a fintech stock. Those tech investments came amid its emergence from the 2008-09 financial crisis, and among the largest banks, it has become a fintech leader. Global Finance named it the \"Most Innovative Digital Bank\" in 2022.On the AI side, BofA describes Erica, its AI-driven assistant, as the engine that brings \"personalized banking\" to its clients. Erica delivers personalized insights and helps monitor accounts, identifying issues such as duplicate charges or changes in spending patterns.Understandably, the liquidity issues that caused the collapses of SVB Financial's Silicon Valley Bank, Silvergate Capital's Silvergate Bank, and others have weighed on the banking sector. Despite BofA's stability, its stock price is down modestly since the beginning of the year. That price drop took its P/E ratio to 9, its lowest level since the beginning of the pandemic.Even though BofA makes up 9% of Berkshire's portfolio, the recent sell-off could be good news for Buffett and other investors. Since the industry's recent troubles do not affect Bank of America directly, now might be an opportune time to buy shares.3. ChevronChevron's growing AI capabilities are probably not prominent among the reasons why Buffett's team has continued to add to its large position in the energy giant. Nonetheless, Chevron accounts for 8% of the value in Berkshire's equity portfolio, and the technology will play at least an indirect role in boosting the value of the oil stock.Today's energy industry relies heavily on technology for various business activities. One area where AI in particular benefits Chevron is data management. To that end, it partnered with Microsoft and UiPath to automate data extraction into back-end systems. Because this process is now being handled automatically, Chevron's business analysts can spend more time on tasks that add more value.Additionally, Chevron applies AI to extract information from drilling reports. The technology can tell researchers how different types of rocks impact a hydrocarbon reservoir. These studies reduce the need to drill exploratory wells, reducing the environmental impact of Chevron's activities.Chevron's stock price is down for 2023, and due to that decline, its P/E ratio of around 9 is in the neighborhood of its multiyear low. Still, the recent announcement by several members of OPEC+ (a group of nations allied with OPEC to cut production in order to boost oil prices) that they will cut crude oil output next month has brought investors back to oil stocks, indicating the stock might soon be heading higher.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":270,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9946715283,"gmtCreate":1681055405242,"gmtModify":1681055408987,"author":{"id":"3570853427202414","authorId":"3570853427202414","name":"BKT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/15cb8e8f0a7c44ca01c83b3bfdddbd86","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570853427202414","authorIdStr":"3570853427202414"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","text":"Pls like thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":26,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9946715283","repostId":"2325952321","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2325952321","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1681011787,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2325952321?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-04-09 11:43","market":"us","language":"en","title":"These 3 Stocks Could Race Higher at the Drop of a Hat","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2325952321","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Tech stocks are on fire in 2023 -- and these three are the cream of the crop.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The first quarter of 2023 is in the books, and it was a decent one for the major indexes. The <strong>Nasdaq</strong> <strong>Composite</strong>, <strong>S&amp;P 500</strong>, and <strong>Dow Jones Industrial Average</strong> gained 16.7%, 7%, and 0.4%, respectively.</p><p>With the tech-heavy Nasdaq leading the way higher, some investors are wondering: What technology names are worth owning right now? </p><p>These three Motley Fool contributors are eyeing <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SE\">Sea Limited </a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SOFI\">SoFi Technologies </a>, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a>. Here&#39;s why.</p><h2>A banking crisis overshadows SoFi&#39;s numerous positives</h2><p><strong>Justin Pope</strong> <strong>(SoFi Technologies):</strong> It&#39;s been tough living as a digital bank for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SOFI\">SoFi Technologies</a>. The company&#39;s been plagued by a student loan freeze for several years, and the recent banking crisis has only shaken investor confidence in smaller lenders. Shares are trading near the low end of their 52-week range, down 77% from their high.</p><p>But the bank&#39;s on firmer ground than its share price might indicate. First, SoFi is well capitalized -- well above the minimum financial ratios regulators mandate, and its depositor base of 5.2 million members is more diversified than a bank like Silicon Valley Bank. Second, there&#39;s a student loan freeze in effect, which has hurt SoFi&#39;s loan refinancing business, which was huge before the pandemic.</p><p>However, it hasn&#39;t stopped SoFi from marching toward profitability. The company posted non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $143 million in 2022 and is guiding for $260 million to $280 million for 2023. Importantly, management expects net income under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to turn positive by the end of the year.</p><p>Between a banking crisis and a student loan freeze, it&#39;s hard to imagine what else could go wrong for SoFi. That&#39;s why the stock could rebound when the smoke clears. The student loan freeze seems on course to end later this year, and it looks like the government will do what&#39;s needed to ensure confidence in the banking system.</p><p>Then, investors might better appreciate SoFi&#39;s rapidly growing user base, looming profitability, and strong balance sheet. CEO Anthony Noto reiterated his confidence, buying roughly $1.2 million in stock last month. You can&#39;t predict when, but SoFi&#39;s stock could spring higher at the first sign of positive news.</p><h2>The tech conglomerate that may soon seem &#39;unlimited&#39;</h2><p><strong>Will Healy</strong> <strong>(Sea Limited): </strong>Admittedly, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SE\">Sea Limited</a> stock may appear to have moved too far too fast. Since falling to a low of just under $41 per share last November, it has more than doubled.</p><p>Still, in other ways, Sea Limited appears far from done. The tech conglomerate, which includes the e-commerce business Shopee and fintech segment Sea Money, has drawn investor interest amid a push to cut costs and turn profitable.</p><p>Sea Money has continued to grow at a triple-digit clip, though it only makes up around 10% of the company&#39;s revenue. Earlier in the year, Shopee reversed most of its expansion plans outside its core Southeast Asian market. But the strategy seems to have worked as e-commerce revenue of $7.3 billion rose 42% in 2022 compared with the prior year.</p><p>Additionally, the factor that could make Sea Limited&#39;s stock fully turn around is the reversal of declining revenue in its gaming segment, Garena. Garena&#39;s <em>Free Fire </em>was the world&#39;s most downloaded mobile game from 2019 to 2021, but its popularity has waned amid a decline in the gaming industry. Consequently, Garena&#39;s revenue dropped 9% in 2022 to $3.9 billion.</p><p>However, Newzoo forecasts player numbers will grow from 3.2 billion in 2022 to 3.5 billion by 2025. Such growth should help reverse declines in the gaming industry. That could accelerate Sea Limited&#39;s revenue growth, which in 2022 surged 25% to $12.4 billion.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7498cb1aa3bf16d1bb26dcaf39931135\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\"/></p><p>SE PS Ratio data by YCharts</p><p>Moreover, despite the recent surge in the stock price, investors should remember that Sea Limited sells at a discount of more than 70% from its all-time high in the fall of 2021. As a result, it trades at a P/S ratio of 4. That is just above all-time lows and well below the record sales multiple of just above 30 in 2021.</p><p>Such a valuation could induce investors to brave the waters. And given the entertainment stock&#39;s potential when all three segments are in a growth mode, the new bull market in Sea Limited stock may have only just begun.</p><h2>Adobe&#39;s stock is still a bargain</h2><p><strong>Jake Lerch (Adobe):</strong> Shares of software giant <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a> have been on a wild ride over the last year and a half. The stock is still more than 44% off its all-time high of $688.37, even after rallying 35% over the last six months.</p><p>Yet, to my eye, Adobe has room to run higher from here -- <em>much higher</em>. Why? Two reasons.</p><p>First, Wall Street has been wrong. Many analysts have expected a pullback in demand for Adobe&#39;s products that just hasn&#39;t materialized. The company has beaten earnings expectations in four straight quarters. Adobe&#39;s rockstar lineup of products, including Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXP.AU\">Experience</a> Cloud, continue to draw in new customers and help retain existing ones.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a973d5cfbfe76f197b5f5eae7c9931b1\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"449\"/></p><p>ADBE data by YCharts</p><p>Second, Adobe&#39;s valuation still looks attractive. As you can see above, Adobe&#39;s stock price has more or less tracked its trailing-12-month revenue over the last 10 years. However, right now, its stock price is lagging far behind its revenue. This is why the company&#39;s price-to-sales ratio stands at 10, below its long-term average of 12.</p><p>I expect Adobe will deliver solid sales and earnings results going forward -- thanks to its subscription model and its best-of-breed creative software solutions. And if that happens, Adobe&#39;s stock could be off to the races.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>These 3 Stocks Could Race Higher at the Drop of a Hat</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\">\nThese 3 Stocks Could Race Higher at the Drop of a Hat\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-04-09 11:43 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/04/08/prediction-these-3-stocks-could-race-higher-at-the/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The first quarter of 2023 is in the books, and it was a decent one for the major indexes.

This is why the company's price-to-sales ratio stands at 10, below its long-term average of 12.I expect Adobe will deliver solid sales and earnings results going forward -- thanks to its subscription model and its best-of-breed creative software solutions. And if that happens, Adobe's stock could be off to the races.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":421,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9988834012,"gmtCreate":1666714881837,"gmtModify":1676537794723,"author":{"id":"3570853427202414","authorId":"3570853427202414","name":"BKT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/15cb8e8f0a7c44ca01c83b3bfdddbd86","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570853427202414","authorIdStr":"3570853427202414"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","text":"Pls like thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":15,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9988834012","repostId":"2277240299","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2277240299","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1666685056,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2277240299?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-25 16:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Which Stocks Are Most Likely to Thrive in a Recession?

But even the less gloomy hypotheticals outlined in the report, such as a sudden 1% or 2% slump, still pointed to an even greater selloff than the original fall.</p><p>Peng Cheng, one of the authors, says this kind of scenario is less likely to play out on &#39;event days&#39; like nonfarm payrolls data or Fed policy decisions. Investors know the event risk so they tighten controls, and are generally more cautious.</p><p>All else equal, this helps reduce systemic risk to the wider market. But on &#39;non-event days,&#39; speculative activity increases.</p><p>&#34;These options are being used more now for systematic trading, which is surprising ... (and) because of that, they have more potential to increase volatility on &#39;non-event days,&#39;&#34; Cheng said.</p><p>&#34;On &#39;non-event days&#39; there is more chance of an unexpected market shock, in which case investors may face greater losses in their short option positions, and that may increase intraday volatility,&#34; he added.</p><p>This nods to the Rumsfeldian world of &#39;known unknowns&#39; and &#39;unknown unknowns.&#39; Calendar event risk, or &#39;known unknowns,&#39; may unleash market volatility, but investors can hedge or sit on the sidelines. Their &#39;0DTE&#39; options positions are much more likely to be hit by &#39;unknown unknowns&#39; at random times.</p><h2>POPULARITY SURGES</h2><p>Data from Cboe Global Markets shows that &#39;0DTE&#39; options have grown in stature over the past several months. They have accounted for more than 40% of daily turnover in all S&amp;P 500 index options since last July - a year ago it was around 20%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/49738df15659929132dfafb2049810fc\" tg-width=\"910\" tg-height=\"508\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>chart</p><p>Nominal trading volumes in these contracts often spikes up on &#39;event days&#39; like U.S. jobs and inflation data days. The 1.7 million contracts traded on March 10, the day of the February employment report, is second only to the 1.76 million traded on Oct. 13, the day September CPI inflation data was released.</p><p>However, as a share of overall options turnover - which Cheng says is a better indication of potential market risk - many of the recent peaks have been on random &#39;non-event&#39; days.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86d43f3ca40d072c8df8f5bc0859549f\" tg-width=\"615\" tg-height=\"411\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>chart</p><p>He and his colleagues estimate that the daily notional value of trading in &#39;0DTE&#39; options has grown to about $1 trillion.Reuters exclusively reportedlast week that Wall Street players and a major U.S. clearing house are examining the potential risks the explosion in trading these contracts poses.</p><p>But the Cboe points out that volume is evenly split between &#39;put&#39; and &#39;call&#39; options, reflecting a balanced market. Some 65%-70% of trades are closed out before expiry, which caps the accumulation of large, outsized positions, the exchange adds.</p><p>But it is worth monitoring how these options evolve, particularly with the Fed switching to a more data-dependent policy stance, which could in turn generate more speculative activity on big calendar &#39;event days.&#39;</p><p>Fed Chair Jerome Powell indicated to lawmakers earlier this month that the decision to raise rates by 25 or 50 basis points at the March 21-22 policy meeting would likely hinge on February employment and CPI inflation data. These reports were released on March 10 and 14.</p><p>It&#39;s one thing for central banks to be &#39;data-dependent,&#39; another to pin policy decisions on specific data.</p><p>&#34;My sense is that Powell was trying not to surprise the market with 50bp — a little bit of forward guidance,&#34; said John Silvia, economist and founder of Dynamic Economic Strategy. &#34;But it is very rare — and risky – to make such a specific number outlook.&#34;</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

For the entire period, SPY's price increased 153%, while its total return, with dividends reinvested, was 205%.So patience has been rewarded -- investors who were faithful and reinvested tripled their money.For a long-term investor looking a build a retirement nest egg over decades before switching to an income strategy, pouring money steadily into a broad index fund with low expenses can pay off -- one of the benefits of staying that course is you pay lower prices during periods of weakness to enhance long-term returns.But what about more aggressive investors looking profit by riding along with individual companies?

This is not the Great Financial Crisis II. It’s not the collapse of Long-Term Capital Management in 1998. It’s not the Great Depression either. A lot of what is taking placetoday has some rhymes with various past episodes, but we are charting new territory with new lessons to be learned to add to the future policy maker playbook. We are likely in the very early stages of this latest banking crisis that could take months if not years to play out. SVB Financial (SIVB), Signature Bank (SBNY), Silvergate Bank (SI), and Credit Suisse (CS) are already gone. Who’s next?</p><h2>The song is over</h2><p>Over the last fourteen years since the Great Financial Crisis (GFC), we were reassured that problems with the banks were behind us. In 2017, then Fed ChairJanet Yellen declared that we will not see another financial crisis in our lifetime. The next year, legislation was passed that eased regulations on all but the largest banking institutions. It was music to the ears of capital markets awash in liquidity, low volatility, and high-risk tolerance. But in the midst of a sustained bout of blistering hot inflation that induced the U.S. Federal Reserve to whipsaw from effectively promising to keep interest rates pinned at 0% until at least 2024 this time two years ago to launching into its most aggressive rate hiking campaign since the 1970s this time a year ago, the consequences of such abrupt and dramatic monetary policy swings are now coming into view.

Yet for the past two weekends, that’s exactly what we’ve had to game out. During the weekend of March 11-12, we held our breath wondering whether the U.S. financial trinity – the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC – would come up with an emergency solution to save the financial system from rampant bank runs before the markets in Asia opened on Sunday night. The next weekend of March 18-19, we waited and wondered whether the Swiss would be able to arrange a shotgun merger between its two banking behemoths and prevent the meltdown of a Systemically Important Financial Institution (SIFI).

For when it comes to the order in which people traditionally get paid in liquidation, its secured debt holders first, then senior unsecured lenders, followed by junior subordinated debt holders, then preferred stockholders, and both last and least (and typically nothing at all) common stock holders. Needless to say it was eyebrow raising when in the case of Credit Suisse the subordinated debt holders got wiped out yet the common stock holders received $1 billion $2 billion $3 billion in a merger withUBSthat was completed without the customary shareholder approval vote.</p><p>Listen, I get it that there simply was not the time to get shareholders to vote on a deal that absolutely had to be done over a weekend, but not only exempting the rule of law but also having the deal structured in a way that leaves head scratching questions in terms of the way that it was structured is not the best for engendering investor confidence going forward. Something tells me that this may not be the last we hear AT1 debt and banking system instability uttered in the same sentence.</p><h2>Tightening lending standards</h2><p>If you are running a small or mid-sized regional bank, it has been a traumatic past two weeks. It has been particularly traumatic if you are among the small or mid-sized regional banks that exercised poor credit management by doing things like using your depositors&#39; money to load up on long-term Treasuries and MBS in 2021 just before they were set to lose as much as 30% of their value.</p><p>With this potential fight for survival in mind, you may be far less inclined today than you were two weeks ago as a small or mid-sized bank to lend money out to your institutional and retail customers. And if the regional banks that serve so many local communities across the country share this more cautious inclination, this means less home buying, less car buying, less consumer spending, less capital expenditures, and less hiring of new employees. Add all of these “less”es together, and you have an economic recession, just as we have seen several times in the recent past as evidenced in the chart below.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/73611566280cece7f6e202ae8736df42\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"480\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, Board of Governors</span></p><p>The deeply inverted yield curve has been screaming recession for quite a while now, and recent developments across the banking landscape have not only meaningfully improved the probability of recession, but also that any such recession is likely to be a bit deeper and longer than previously anticipated.</p><p>The fact that stocks continue to trade at a premium coupled with the fact that corporate earnings are still toward the high end of their historical range with considerable room to come back down suggests that the road ahead for stocks over the next few months could get a bit bumpy before it’s all said and done.</p><h2>The banking crisis may do the Fed’s work</h2><p>If one wants to try to put a silver lining on idiosyncratic bank failures and stressful weekends waiting for emergency policy rescues, a positive that is likely to come from the recent banking crises and the probable tightening of lending standards is that it is likely to bring down inflation both further and faster than we would have seen otherwise. As I often like to say to my Principles of Macro students, if you have too much money chasing too few goods, a great way to solve it is by simply taking money away from people. And since politicians on all sides of the political aisle no longer have the resolve to actually raise taxes on anyone other than the ultra-wealthy, raising interest rates and tightening lending standards are ways to do it. If people don’t have money, they can’t spend it, and inflation comes back down.</p><p>A sooner and deeper recession may actually help at risk banks. What has put so many small and mid-sized banks at risk has been the precipitous decline in long-term Treasury and MBS prices. But if inflation comes down and the economy falls into recession, both of these forces are typically meaningful tailwinds for these same securities as interest rates eventually come back down and investors take flight to safety. It’s an interesting thought pretzel to think that an economic recession could help fix the banking crisis while an ongoing economic expansion could send more banks over the edge.</p><h2>Who’s next</h2><p>Bringing this all back together, it is very likely that we are still in the very early stages of a banking crisis that may take many months to play out. It is important to remember that when the U.S. Federal Reserve raises interest rates, it historically takes upwards of twelve months before the tightening effects of the rate hike have fully worked their way through the economy. And given that the Fed only started hiking rates at this time last year, this means that only the first 25 bps rate hike from last year has fully come out the other side and we have 450 bps of interest rate hikes still making their way through the proverbial snake. This includes four consecutive 75 bps bombs from the middle to latter part of last year as well as the latest 25 bps cherry on top of the rate hiking cycle cake that the Fed delivered coming out of their latest FOMC meeting this Wednesday. Somehow, I have a sneaking suspicion we may someday look back with derision on this last rate hike. It will be interesting to see.</p><p>With all of this in mind, we should remain mindful that the stream of banks under stress may not be continuous as we continue through 2023. We may go through prolonged stretches where it looks like the problem is behind us (May 2008, anyone?) only to find a new set of problems emerge in a different segment of the financial sector. Thus, keeping a close eye on further rumbles across the financial sector is a prudent strategy as we move forward from here.</p><p>As for who’s next in the meantime, I am not breaking any news by saying that First Republic Bank (FRC) remains the institution to watch. The situation remains highly tenuous despite the repeated efforts of both public and private institutions to resuscitate the ailing bank. If First Republic ultimately succumbs, pressure on other at risk regional banking institutions is not only likely to persist but amplify. On the other hand, if First Republic perseveres, such a period of relief from immediate banking stress may follow.</p><h2>Who’s last</h2><p>If we go through a worst case scenario thought exercise, it’s reasonable to consider where the road might end in the current banking crisis. A name that is worth monitoring in this regard is Bank of America (BAC), which of course is one of the largest financial institutions in the world and among the top of the SIFI category. Of course, nothing at all is imminently at issue with Bank of America, but it does have a notably larger long-term bond portfolio relative to its major banking institution peers. As a result, it is worth monitoring as a back-end measure of underlying financial sector stress.</p><h2>We won’t get fooled again</h2><p>Oh no, we so will. A defining characteristic of financial markets and the policy makers that oversee them is a memory that seemingly lasts about 18 months to two years at most. Unfortunately, this leads markets and policy makers to unwittingly and repeatedly fall into the same traps, only through different means. Fortunately for investors, such dislocations lead to attractive opportunities for those that are prepared and positioned to capitalize. Thus, maintaining a sharp focus on potential downside risks such as ongoing banking industry volatility is a productive way to navigate short-term turbulence while seeking to capitalize on long-term upside.</p><p><i>This article is written by Eric Parnell, CFA for reference only.

This is not the Great Financial Crisis II. It’s not the collapse of Long-Term Capital Management in 1998. It’s not the Great Depression either. A lot of what is taking placetoday has some rhymes with various past episodes, but we are charting new territory with new lessons to be learned to add to the future policy maker playbook. We are likely in the very early stages of this latest banking crisis that could take months if not years to play out. SVB Financial (SIVB), Signature Bank (SBNY), Silvergate Bank (SI), and Credit Suisse (CS) are already gone. Who’s next?The song is overOver the last fourteen years since the Great Financial Crisis (GFC), we were reassured that problems with the banks were behind us. In 2017, then Fed ChairJanet Yellen declared that we will not see another financial crisis in our lifetime. The next year, legislation was passed that eased regulations on all but the largest banking institutions. It was music to the ears of capital markets awash in liquidity, low volatility, and high-risk tolerance. But in the midst of a sustained bout of blistering hot inflation that induced the U.S. Federal Reserve to whipsaw from effectively promising to keep interest rates pinned at 0% until at least 2024 this time two years ago to launching into its most aggressive rate hiking campaign since the 1970s this time a year ago, the consequences of such abrupt and dramatic monetary policy swings are now coming into view.

There’s plenty of reason to be. Major companies are working around the clock to perfect their own versions of the chatbot. Some are redoubling their own research and development initiatives, while others, such as Amazon, are rushing to acquire prominent AI startups.</p><p>And while this new market frenzy has created a new class of winners among AI stocks, it has also led to questions about the type of financial advice ChatGPT can provide. <i>NerdWallet</i> reports that AI technology is not ready to replace financial advisors. But to take this further, <i>InvestorPlace</i> decided to ask the chatbot for its recommendations for the best EV stocks to buy.</p><p>This isn’t the first time that we’ve tested the power of ChatGPT in financial matters. <i>InvestorPlace</i> Financial News Writer Brenden Rearick has successfully asked the chatbot for its recommendations for a list of cryptos to buy. While he later asked it for a list of cryptos to sell, he concluded that the program is still lacking, as it referenced crypto projects that are long dead.</p><p>And while Markets Analyst Thomas Yeung has successfully managed to “trick” the bot into picking a more general list of stocks to buy, I wanted to see how it would respond to commands regarding a more specific industry. Given its high investor interest, the EV sector made sense. But it is important to note that the chatbot’s data is limited and often not up to date past 2021.</p><h2>The Best EV Stocks to Buy, According to ChatGPT</h2><p>I decided to keep my commands very general at first, posing the following question: What are the top 10 best EV stocks to buy? ChatGPT began with its classic disclaimer:</p><blockquote>“As an AI language model, I do not provide financial or investment advice. However, I can give you some information on electric vehicle (EV) stocks that you may find helpful.”</blockquote><p>From there, the bot declined to rank 10 EV stocks. However, it did provide a list of companies it claims have been making headlines recently:</p><ol><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla</a></li><li>$Nio (NYSE:NIO)$</li><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GM\">General Motors</a></li><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/F\">Ford</a></li><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LI\">Li Auto</a></li><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VWAGY\">Volkswagen</a></li><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BYDDY\">BYD Company</a></li><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XPEV\">Xpeng</a></li><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FSR\">Fisker</a></li><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LCID\">Lucid</a></li></ol><p>These names all make sense. Tesla is the leader of the EV sector, and the other companies consistently receive media coverage. All have given investors reason to be watching them, as ChatGPT claims.</p><p>When asked to provide further context on why it selected these 10 as the top EV stocks to buy, the bot cited Tesla’s head start in the EV race, Nio’s “innovative designs and strong growth potential,” and BYD’s dynamic reach across the industry. It also highlighted Xpeng’s plans for expansion and its investments in autonomous vehicles.

There’s plenty of reason to be. Major companies are working around the clock to perfect their own versions of the chatbot. Some are redoubling their own research and development initiatives, while others, such as Amazon, are rushing to acquire prominent AI startups.And while this new market frenzy has created a new class of winners among AI stocks, it has also led to questions about the type of financial advice ChatGPT can provide. NerdWallet reports that AI technology is not ready to replace financial advisors. But to take this further, InvestorPlace decided to ask the chatbot for its recommendations for the best EV stocks to buy.This isn’t the first time that we’ve tested the power of ChatGPT in financial matters. InvestorPlace Financial News Writer Brenden Rearick has successfully asked the chatbot for its recommendations for a list of cryptos to buy. While he later asked it for a list of cryptos to sell, he concluded that the program is still lacking, as it referenced crypto projects that are long dead.And while Markets Analyst Thomas Yeung has successfully managed to “trick” the bot into picking a more general list of stocks to buy, I wanted to see how it would respond to commands regarding a more specific industry. Given its high investor interest, the EV sector made sense. But it is important to note that the chatbot’s data is limited and often not up to date past 2021.The Best EV Stocks to Buy, According to ChatGPTI decided to keep my commands very general at first, posing the following question: What are the top 10 best EV stocks to buy? ChatGPT began with its classic disclaimer:“As an AI language model, I do not provide financial or investment advice. However, I can give you some information on electric vehicle (EV) stocks that you may find helpful.”From there, the bot declined to rank 10 EV stocks. However, it did provide a list of companies it claims have been making headlines recently:Tesla$Nio (NYSE:NIO)$General MotorsFordLi AutoVolkswagenBYD CompanyXpengFiskerLucidThese names all make sense. Tesla is the leader of the EV sector, and the other companies consistently receive media coverage. All have given investors reason to be watching them, as ChatGPT claims.When asked to provide further context on why it selected these 10 as the top EV stocks to buy, the bot cited Tesla’s head start in the EV race, Nio’s “innovative designs and strong growth potential,” and BYD’s dynamic reach across the industry. It also highlighted Xpeng’s plans for expansion and its investments in autonomous vehicles. Regarding Lucid, it cited the company’s backing from Saudi Arabia, as well as its plans to expand further in the U.S.The points made by ChatGPT are generally well-taken. However, the bot doesn’t account for some key things. While it notes that BYD has partnered with several prominent automakers, it doesn’t mention its recent deal with tech innovator Nvidia, which is especially relevant amid the current AI boom.ChatGPT also doesn’t mention Nio’s G9, an electric SUV that experts have hailed as a likely sales-driving catalyst. And it only names automakers, neglecting to mention companies that power the EV sector, such as infrastructure leader ChargePoint, which Fisker recently partnered with. CHPT certainly has the growth prospects to put on any list of the best EV stocks to buy.Using Everyman DANHowever, different prompts yielded slightly different results. Following Yeung’s example, I decided to create an “’Everyman DAN’ (as one of our editors has termed it), a simple stock picker attempting to please his demanding boss.” These are the five stocks ChatGPT suggested the fictitious high-growth investor James bring back to his boss:TeslaNioGeneral MotorsPlug PowerGlobal X Autonomous And Electric Vehicles ETFAgain, we see that ChatGPT is quick to name Tesla, Nio and General Motors as top EV stocks to buy.

Officials have indicated the rate is likely to exceed 5% before they can step back to see the impact of the policy tightening.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":66,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9949874913,"gmtCreate":1678544476633,"gmtModify":1678544481172,"author":{"id":"3570853427202414","authorId":"3570853427202414","name":"BKT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/15cb8e8f0a7c44ca01c83b3bfdddbd86","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570853427202414","authorIdStr":"3570853427202414"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","text":"Pls like thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":19,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9949874913","repostId":"1188991015","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1188991015","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1678524311,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1188991015?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-11 16:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Jobs Report, Bank Failure Complicate Outlook on Interest Rates","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1188991015","media":"The Wall Street Journal","summary":"Fed officials could debate whether to raise rates by a quarter- or half-percentage-point at their next meeting","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The February employment report does little to sharply alter the economic outlook for Federal Reserve officials who are considering how much to raise interest rates at their coming meeting.</p><p>But the failure of a California bank on Friday led investors on Wall Street to pare their bets that the central bank would opt for a larger half-percentage-point increase, rather than a smaller quarter-point bump, amid broader concerns about financial stability risks.</p><p>Investors in interest-rate futures markets on Friday afternoon saw a nearly 60% probability of a quarter-point, or 25-basis-point, rate rise, according to CME Group.

This article will give readers an overview of the best tech stocks to sell to maximize their returns.</p><p>The U.S., European, and Chinese stock markets have experienced positive gains since the start of the year. However, despite this recent bullishness,<b>UBS Global Wealth Management</b> cautioned against being over-confident in the sustainability of this run. Factors like high inflation and other market conditions could still be unfavorable for stocks in the early months of 2023.</p><p>Mark Haefele, Chief Investment Officer at UBS Global Wealth Management, voiced his concern over the possibility of a ‘head fake’ rally, and that economic data may not achieve the market’s expectations in a recent note to clients. He cautioned that it’s still too soon to infer that inflation is no longer a concern. Additionally, he highlighted the possibility of core inflation being higher than anticipated, along with other potential risks facing the markets.</p><p>Investors could not be happier with the positive start to this year. However, they should also remain watchful. Although the market is looking up, economic data are still uncertain. Thus, it’s far from guaranteed that this impressive progress we’ve seen will remain for the rest of 2023.</p><p>Accordingly, for those looking to trim equity exposure, here are three stocks to sell.</p><p><b>DocuSign (DOCU)</b></p><p><b>DocuSign</b>(NASDAQ: <b><u>DOCU</u></b>) is a company providing digital signature solutions to a broad base of large and small corporate clients. This business model has made the company one of the most sought-after tech stocks during the pandemic. Indeed, as businesses of all sizes adjusted their operations as a result of the pandemic, many leaned on digital solutions like electronic signatures and the document management tools that DocuSign offers.</p><p>DocuSign’s yearly revenue has seen tremendous growth in the last three years. In 2022, the company reported $2.1 billion in revenue, a 45% increase on a year-over-year basis. Impressively, 2021’s $1.453 billion in revenue was also roughly 50% higher over 2020, meaning this is a compounder with some serious clout. That said, revenue growth has slowed of late, with the company reporting top-line growth of 24.5% for the 12 months ended Oct. 31, 2022.</p><p>Growth has slowed further, to just 18%, as pr the company’s recently-released Q3 and fiscal 2023 financial results. Subscription income came in at $624.1 million, an increase of 18% compared to the year prior. Professional services and other revenue registered a boost of 27%, amounting to $21.4 million compared to the same period last year. However, the numbers signify a decrease sequentially, and reflect a general decline in growth for this previous high-flyer.</p><p>In addition, the dip in the residential real estate market is a cause for worry. When he published his piece on tech stocks to sell in December, <i>InvestorPlace</i> contributor Larry Ramer made an astute evaluation. That is, that the housing market was among the driving forces behind this organization’s success. The data proves Ramer is right.</p><p>Unfortunately, the US housing market saw another decline in December, extending the slump to four consecutive months in 2022. This marked a difficult year for the industry, which experienced its first annual decrease in housing starts since 2009.</p><p>Many people, including Larry, used the software when purchasing a house. However, the market downturn has intensified downward pressure on DocuSign, which is why it is on this list of tech stocks to sell.</p><p><b>Opendoor (OPEN)</b></p><p><b>Opendoor Technologies</b>(NASDAQ: <b><u>OPEN</u></b>) is bringing about a revolution in the home-buying process with its disruptive technology. It aims to provide an automated solution for a smoother, quicker, and more convenient buying experience. Accordingly, it’s no surprise to see the influx of investors to this stock, when it made its debut in 2020.</p><p>In 2020, when Opendoor made its stock market debut, investors swarmed to the investment opportunity. This was at the pandemic’s peak, when investors were flush with cash and looking for a place to grow it. As a result, the stock did very well during its initial few weeks, surging in value as speculators entered the market.</p><p>However, Opendoor’s stock price has hit a rough patch over the past year. This is primarily due to increasingly bearish market sentiment. OPEN stock has lows two-thirds of its value over the past year, with expectations building that more in the way of declines could be on the horizon.</p><p>That’s largely due to the widespread aforementioned decline in the real estate market. Higher interest rates have killed this market, with home starts seeing one of the worst declines on record. <b>Redfin</b> anticipates that there will be a 16% decline in the number of existing home sales from 2022 to 2023, resulting in 4.3 million total sales. According to the company’s report, buyers are hesitant to make purchases due to affordability issues such as inflation, higher mortgage rates, and pricey homes, along with the possibility of an economic recession. <b>Morgan Stanley</b>(NYSE:<b><u>MS</u></b>) experts are also anticipating a fall in the housing sector by 2023, which could be damaging to those who bought their homes the previous year in 2022.</p><p>Undoubtedly, Opendoor’s business model is disruptive. But market trends are going against the stock, making this a top stock to sell in my books right now.</p><p><b>Silvergate Capital Corporation (SI)</b></p><p>Ah, how time flies! It seems like yesterday we were all discussing <b>Silvergate Capital</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SI</u></b>), a Californian bank that mainly specializes in cryptocurrency transactions. However, after the epic downturn in the crypto markets and the spectacular collapse of FTX, Silvergate Capital is on the ropes.</p><p>On Jan. 17, Silvergate Capital revealed its fiscal Q4 earnings, recording a net loss of $1.0 billion or ($33.16 per share). Average digital asset deposits declined to $7.3 billion from the prior quarter’s $12.0 billion. Following these results, investors have clearly priced in worries about a run on the bank, which could lead to a collapse in Silvergate Capital in short order. Fortunately, this hasn’t occurred yet, due in part to the company’s reported total deposits of $3.8 billion at the end of the quarter.</p><p>That said, during the quarter, management reported $5.2 billion in sales of debt and securities at a disadvantageous expense of $718 million, to ensure sufficient liquidity.

This article will give readers an overview of the best tech stocks to sell to maximize their returns.The U.S., European, and Chinese stock markets have experienced positive gains since the start of the year. However, despite this recent bullishness,UBS Global Wealth Management cautioned against being over-confident in the sustainability of this run. Factors like high inflation and other market conditions could still be unfavorable for stocks in the early months of 2023.Mark Haefele, Chief Investment Officer at UBS Global Wealth Management, voiced his concern over the possibility of a ‘head fake’ rally, and that economic data may not achieve the market’s expectations in a recent note to clients. He cautioned that it’s still too soon to infer that inflation is no longer a concern. Additionally, he highlighted the possibility of core inflation being higher than anticipated, along with other potential risks facing the markets.Investors could not be happier with the positive start to this year. However, they should also remain watchful. Although the market is looking up, economic data are still uncertain. Thus, it’s far from guaranteed that this impressive progress we’ve seen will remain for the rest of 2023.Accordingly, for those looking to trim equity exposure, here are three stocks to sell.DocuSign (DOCU)DocuSign(NASDAQ: DOCU) is a company providing digital signature solutions to a broad base of large and small corporate clients. This business model has made the company one of the most sought-after tech stocks during the pandemic. Indeed, as businesses of all sizes adjusted their operations as a result of the pandemic, many leaned on digital solutions like electronic signatures and the document management tools that DocuSign offers.DocuSign’s yearly revenue has seen tremendous growth in the last three years. In 2022, the company reported $2.1 billion in revenue, a 45% increase on a year-over-year basis. Impressively, 2021’s $1.453 billion in revenue was also roughly 50% higher over 2020, meaning this is a compounder with some serious clout. That said, revenue growth has slowed of late, with the company reporting top-line growth of 24.5% for the 12 months ended Oct. 31, 2022.Growth has slowed further, to just 18%, as pr the company’s recently-released Q3 and fiscal 2023 financial results. Subscription income came in at $624.1 million, an increase of 18% compared to the year prior. Professional services and other revenue registered a boost of 27%, amounting to $21.4 million compared to the same period last year. However, the numbers signify a decrease sequentially, and reflect a general decline in growth for this previous high-flyer.In addition, the dip in the residential real estate market is a cause for worry. When he published his piece on tech stocks to sell in December, InvestorPlace contributor Larry Ramer made an astute evaluation. That is, that the housing market was among the driving forces behind this organization’s success. The data proves Ramer is right.Unfortunately, the US housing market saw another decline in December, extending the slump to four consecutive months in 2022. This marked a difficult year for the industry, which experienced its first annual decrease in housing starts since 2009.Many people, including Larry, used the software when purchasing a house. However, the market downturn has intensified downward pressure on DocuSign, which is why it is on this list of tech stocks to sell.Opendoor (OPEN)Opendoor Technologies(NASDAQ: OPEN) is bringing about a revolution in the home-buying process with its disruptive technology. It aims to provide an automated solution for a smoother, quicker, and more convenient buying experience. Accordingly, it’s no surprise to see the influx of investors to this stock, when it made its debut in 2020.In 2020, when Opendoor made its stock market debut, investors swarmed to the investment opportunity. This was at the pandemic’s peak, when investors were flush with cash and looking for a place to grow it. As a result, the stock did very well during its initial few weeks, surging in value as speculators entered the market.However, Opendoor’s stock price has hit a rough patch over the past year. This is primarily due to increasingly bearish market sentiment. OPEN stock has lows two-thirds of its value over the past year, with expectations building that more in the way of declines could be on the horizon.That’s largely due to the widespread aforementioned decline in the real estate market. Higher interest rates have killed this market, with home starts seeing one of the worst declines on record. Redfin anticipates that there will be a 16% decline in the number of existing home sales from 2022 to 2023, resulting in 4.3 million total sales. According to the company’s report, buyers are hesitant to make purchases due to affordability issues such as inflation, higher mortgage rates, and pricey homes, along with the possibility of an economic recession. Morgan Stanley(NYSE:MS) experts are also anticipating a fall in the housing sector by 2023, which could be damaging to those who bought their homes the previous year in 2022.Undoubtedly, Opendoor’s business model is disruptive. But market trends are going against the stock, making this a top stock to sell in my books right now.Silvergate Capital Corporation (SI)Ah, how time flies! It seems like yesterday we were all discussing Silvergate Capital(NYSE:SI), a Californian bank that mainly specializes in cryptocurrency transactions. However, after the epic downturn in the crypto markets and the spectacular collapse of FTX, Silvergate Capital is on the ropes.On Jan. 17, Silvergate Capital revealed its fiscal Q4 earnings, recording a net loss of $1.0 billion or ($33.16 per share). Average digital asset deposits declined to $7.3 billion from the prior quarter’s $12.0 billion. Following these results, investors have clearly priced in worries about a run on the bank, which could lead to a collapse in Silvergate Capital in short order. Fortunately, this hasn’t occurred yet, due in part to the company’s reported total deposits of $3.8 billion at the end of the quarter.That said, during the quarter, management reported $5.2 billion in sales of debt and securities at a disadvantageous expense of $718 million, to ensure sufficient liquidity. The firm reported a massive loss, and the company’s stock price reflected this reality as well.Those who think that this lower stock price provides a great entry point should be warned. The selling pressure with SI stock may be far from over. Many investors didn’t think the company will be able to make it out of this crypto winter. And while Silvergate Capital may continue to sustain itself temporarily on trading fees from its exchange-traded products, it’s unclear how much investor demand will remain for its shares, should another contagion event take place.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":31,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9943683046,"gmtCreate":1679407033886,"gmtModify":1679407037049,"author":{"id":"3570853427202414","authorId":"3570853427202414","name":"BKT","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/15cb8e8f0a7c44ca01c83b3bfdddbd86","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570853427202414","authorIdStr":"3570853427202414"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","listText":"Pls like thanks&nbsp;","text":"Pls like thanks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":19,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9943683046","repostId":"2320379346","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2320379346","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1679388961,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2320379346?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-21 16:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"First Republic, PacWest, and Western Alliance Have Sold Off Intensely.

In particular, bank stocks  <b>First Republic</b>, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PACW\">PacWest Bancorp</a></b>, and <b>Western Alliance</b> went on quite a bumpy ride as investors spotted similarities between their balance sheets and those of failed bank <b>SVB Financial</b>. As a result, all three stocks have been sold off intensely.</p><p>To paraphrase legendary investor Warren Buffett, with so many investors so scared right now, is it time to &#34;be greedy when others are fearful?&#34; Given the sell-off, are any of these stocks worth buying right now? Let&#39;s take a look.</p><h2>Uninsured deposits and bond losses</h2><p>The big thing that brought SVB Financial&#39;s Silicon Valley Bank and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SI\">Silvergate Capital</a></b>&#39;s Silvergate Bank down is deposits fleeing the bank extremely quickly over concerns about bond losses. Many banks invested excess deposits into lower-yielding, longer-duration bonds too early in the interest rate cycle. When rates rose, these bonds fell out of favor and their value fell deeply underwater because bond yields and bond values have an inverse relationship. Given enough time, these &#34;paper losses&#34; on the bonds would have turned back into gains if the bonds were held to maturity. SVB didn&#39;t get that needed time.</p><p>What exacerbated SVB&#39;s and Silvergate&#39;s problems is that both banks had too much deposit concentration among a smaller number of big customers, all carrying deposit balances well in excess of what the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) insures. In SVB&#39;s case, once the liquidity issues it faced became known, these select large customers got spooked, pulled their deposits quickly, and then told their friends to do the same. Word got around so quickly that SVB saw an astounding $42 billion of deposits pulled in a single day.</p><h2>Making comparisons to SVB Financial</h2><p>In order to see how First Republic, PacWest, and Western Alliance stack up to SVB, let&#39;s first examine how many of their deposits were uninsured and what kinds of bond losses they were facing relative to their tangible common equity (TCE) at the end of 2022. I&#39;m only going to look at unrealized bond losses in these banks&#39; held-to-maturity (HTM) portfolios because these are not marked-to-market and therefore not subtracted from equity each quarter.</p><table border=\"1\"><tbody><tr><th>Bank</th><th>TCE</th><th>HTM Unrealized Losses on Dec. 31, 2022</th><th>Percent of Deposits Uninsured on Dec. 31, 2022</th></tr><tr><td>SVB Financial</td><td>$11.8 billion</td><td>$15.1 billion</td><td>89%</td></tr><tr><td>First Republic</td><td>$12.8 billion</td><td>$4.8 billion</td><td>79%</td></tr><tr><td>Western Alliance</td><td>$4.4 billion</td><td>$177 million</td><td>76%</td></tr><tr><td><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PACWL\">PacWest Bancorp</a></td><td>$2.12 billion</td><td>NM</td><td>57%</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Data sources: Bank call reports and regulatory filings. TCE = Tangible common equity. HTM = Held to maturity. NM = Not material.</p><p>As you can see, SVB would have wiped out all of its equity if it had sold its HTM bond portfolio. First Republic would wipe out 37.5% of its equity, while Western Alliance and PacWest aren&#39;t really sitting on any meaningful HTM bond losses. However, all of these banks had a significant amount of uninsured deposits.</p><h2>Homing in on deposits</h2><p>First Republic is a niche bank catering to high-net-worth households in the coastal parts of the U.S. like California, New York, Boston, and Florida. Like SVB, it also does a good amount of lending to businesses like venture capital and private equity firms, as well as nonprofits such as higher education.</p><p>Interestingly, First Republic notes that it only has one-fifth of business deposit accounts compared to the average U.S. bank with between $100 billion and $250 billion in deposits. The bank also noted in a recent investor presentation that its average business account has $490,000 in deposits in it, so you can see how a deposit base like this could potentially flee quicker than somewhere like <b>Bank of America</b>, which has millions of consumer accounts with much smaller balances.</p><p>Despite tapping the Federal Reserve and <b>JPMorgan Chase</b> and building unused liquidity of $70 billion, First Republic was apparently still seeing deposit outflows and had to get an additional $30 billion deposit injection from 11 different banks.</p><p>Western Alliance mainly gathers deposits from companies as well but seems to have a somewhat more diverse set of customers, serving a wider range of businesses, mortgage companies, homeowner&#39;s associations, and business escrow services. Roughly 14% of the bank&#39;s deposits came from the tech and innovation sector.</p><p>PacWest also heavily caters to the venture capital community. At the end of 2022, about $12 billion of its nearly $34 billion in deposits came from venture banking activity, and the bank is reportedly seeking additional liquidity similar to First Republic.</p><h2>Margin and insider buys</h2><p>A good indicator of a bank&#39;s profitability is its net interest margin (NIM), which essentially looks at the interest a bank makes on interest-earning assets such as loans and securities and what it pays out on interest-bearing liabilities like deposits.</p><p>First Republic is definitely going to be challenged, as it had already been facing NIM pressure even before all of the chaos started because it holds a large mortgage portfolio, which tends to yield less than a lot of business and commercial loans. Considering the bank recently said it has taken on a lot of higher-cost borrowings to fill the hole from outflows, expect earnings to struggle, especially over the next few quarters.</p><p>On its first-quarter earnings call back in January, PacWest&#39;s management team expected NIM to be flat in 2023, but this has likely changed given everything going on.</p><p>On Western Alliance&#39;s Q1 earnings call, management actually guided for very strong deposit growth in 2023 of between 13% and 17% and NIM expansion this year. Last Friday, as SVB Financial was being put into FDIC receivership, Western Alliance reaffirmed its deposit growth projections for the year, although it will be interesting to see how those hold up. On March 13, the bank said it had increased cash balances to $25 billion and that insured deposits now exceeded 50%, which are all positive developments.</p><p>In terms of recent stock purchases by management and directors, PacWest takes the cake, with many members of its senior management team and directors purchasing shares since SVB failed. As of March 16, only one director at Western Alliance had purchased shares, and at First Republic, one member of senior management sold shares in recent days and one director acquired shares on March 9.</p><h2>Are any of these stocks worth buying?</h2><p>The big thing to understand here is that this is a rapidly evolving situation, so expect a lot of volatility over the next few weeks and there&#39;s no guarantee that more regional banks won&#39;t face deposit runs. These three banks may also see credit downgrades from the rating agencies (First Republic already has). I also think First Republic is a likely seller if it can find a buyer because it could really be an uphill battle for the bank from an earnings perspective.</p><p>Additionally, regional banks definitely face challenges moving forward, whether it&#39;s on earnings or on the regulatory front. So while I expect them to rebound, it may not be an easy road and they may not gain their former valuations, at least for a while.</p><p>All that said, Western Alliance looks the best positioned of these three right now given their cash position and the fact that more than half of the bank&#39;s deposits are now FDIC-insured. The company also has better NIM expectations and looks to have a more stable, diverse deposit base. I do wish insiders were buying more shares, however, because it would be a good signal to the market.</p><p>If you&#39;re interested in investing, the best thing to do right now is to take a small position and build it gradually as conditions stabilize. Another way to play this might be to purchase an exchange-traded fund with exposure to regional banks like the <b>SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF</b>, so you get exposure to a basket of regional bank stocks.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>First Republic, PacWest, and Western Alliance Have Sold Off Intensely.

(FDIC) insures. In SVB's case, once the liquidity issues it faced became known, these select large customers got spooked, pulled their deposits quickly, and then told their friends to do the same. Word got around so quickly that SVB saw an astounding $42 billion of deposits pulled in a single day.Making comparisons to SVB FinancialIn order to see how First Republic, PacWest, and Western Alliance stack up to SVB, let's first examine how many of their deposits were uninsured and what kinds of bond losses they were facing relative to their tangible common equity (TCE) at the end of 2022. I'm only going to look at unrealized bond losses in these banks' held-to-maturity (HTM) portfolios because these are not marked-to-market and therefore not subtracted from equity each quarter.BankTCEHTM Unrealized Losses on Dec. 31, 2022Percent of Deposits Uninsured on Dec. 31, 2022SVB Financial$11.8 billion$15.1 billion89%First Republic$12.8 billion$4.8 billion79%Western Alliance$4.4 billion$177 million76%PacWest Bancorp$2.12 billionNM57%Data sources: Bank call reports and regulatory filings. TCE = Tangible common equity. HTM = Held to maturity. NM = Not material.As you can see, SVB would have wiped out all of its equity if it had sold its HTM bond portfolio. First Republic would wipe out 37.5% of its equity, while Western Alliance and PacWest aren't really sitting on any meaningful HTM bond losses. However, all of these banks had a significant amount of uninsured deposits.Homing in on depositsFirst Republic is a niche bank catering to high-net-worth households in the coastal parts of the U.S. like California, New York, Boston, and Florida. Like SVB, it also does a good amount of lending to businesses like venture capital and private equity firms, as well as nonprofits such as higher education.Interestingly, First Republic notes that it only has one-fifth of business deposit accounts compared to the average U.S. bank with between $100 billion and $250 billion in deposits. The bank also noted in a recent investor presentation that its average business account has $490,000 in deposits in it, so you can see how a deposit base like this could potentially flee quicker than somewhere like Bank of America, which has millions of consumer accounts with much smaller balances.Despite tapping the Federal Reserve and JPMorgan Chase and building unused liquidity of $70 billion, First Republic was apparently still seeing deposit outflows and had to get an additional $30 billion deposit injection from 11 different banks.Western Alliance mainly gathers deposits from companies as well but seems to have a somewhat more diverse set of customers, serving a wider range of businesses, mortgage companies, homeowner's associations, and business escrow services. Roughly 14% of the bank's deposits came from the tech and innovation sector.PacWest also heavily caters to the venture capital community. At the end of 2022, about $12 billion of its nearly $34 billion in deposits came from venture banking activity, and the bank is reportedly seeking additional liquidity similar to First Republic.Margin and insider buysA good indicator of a bank's profitability is its net interest margin (NIM), which essentially looks at the interest a bank makes on interest-earning assets such as loans and securities and what it pays out on interest-bearing liabilities like deposits.First Republic is definitely going to be challenged, as it had already been facing NIM pressure even before all of the chaos started because it holds a large mortgage portfolio, which tends to yield less than a lot of business and commercial loans. Considering the bank recently said it has taken on a lot of higher-cost borrowings to fill the hole from outflows, expect earnings to struggle, especially over the next few quarters.On its first-quarter earnings call back in January, PacWest's management team expected NIM to be flat in 2023, but this has likely changed given everything going on.On Western Alliance's Q1 earnings call, management actually guided for very strong deposit growth in 2023 of between 13% and 17% and NIM expansion this year. Last Friday, as SVB Financial was being put into FDIC receivership, Western Alliance reaffirmed its deposit growth projections for the year, although it will be interesting to see how those hold up. On March 13, the bank said it had increased cash balances to $25 billion and that insured deposits now exceeded 50%, which are all positive developments.In terms of recent stock purchases by management and directors, PacWest takes the cake, with many members of its senior management team and directors purchasing shares since SVB failed. As of March 16, only one director at Western Alliance had purchased shares, and at First Republic, one member of senior management sold shares in recent days and one director acquired shares on March 9.Are any of these stocks worth buying?The big thing to understand here is that this is a rapidly evolving situation, so expect a lot of volatility over the next few weeks and there's no guarantee that more regional banks won't face deposit runs. These three banks may also see credit downgrades from the rating agencies (First Republic already has). I also think First Republic is a likely seller if it can find a buyer because it could really be an uphill battle for the bank from an earnings perspective.Additionally, regional banks definitely face challenges moving forward, whether it's on earnings or on the regulatory front. So while I expect them to rebound, it may not be an easy road and they may not gain their former valuations, at least for a while.All that said, Western Alliance looks the best positioned of these three right now given their cash position and the fact that more than half of the bank's deposits are now FDIC-insured. The company also has better NIM expectations and looks to have a more stable, diverse deposit base. I do wish insiders were buying more shares, however, because it would be a good signal to the market.If you're interested in investing, the best thing to do right now is to take a small position and build it gradually as conditions stabilize. Another way to play this might be to purchase an exchange-traded fund with exposure to regional banks like the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF, so you get exposure to a basket of regional bank stocks.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":47,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
