However, the firm stumbled with its 10-nanometer process, and recently announced its 7-nm process will be delayed until 2023.</p>\n<p>This left the door open to Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), and that firm has taken full advantage of the opportunity. AMD has taken a large share of the CPU market and is making inroads into the once nearly impenetrable server market.</p>\n<p>AMD now has seven consecutive quarters of double-digit revenue growth under its belt, and it appears the firm is gaining momentum: management now guides for 60% revenue growth for the full year, up from the 50% forecast provided in the previous quarter.</p>\n<p>However, AMD also competes with NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA), and the latter company’s GPU technology is stealing market share. NVDA has also been successful in gaining access to adjacent markets with its GPUs, especially AI and automotive markets.</p>\n<p><b>The Ins And Outs of Intel</b></p>\n<p>An understanding of Intel also provides insights into AMD. This is due to the overlap between the two companies, particularly in regards to x86 chips. Intel developed the x86 chip in 1978. To satisfy demands by IBM that Intel would not be the sole supplier of the chips, INTC provided x86 instruction set architecture licensing to AMD.</p>\n<p>Consequently, Intel and AMD have a duopoly position in the PC and server markets, as nearly all computer software is written for x86 architecture. The result is that both have a wide moat related to the x86 ecosystem.</p>\n<p>Gaming consoles in particular are based on x86 architecture due to those platforms generally providing more powerful CPUs and GPUs with multiple compute cores. Like PCs, consoles operate with games that use x86 based software. Once again, this stifles potential competition from ARM-based devices.</p>\n<p>Until fairly recently, AMD was a distant second to INTC as a supplier of x86 chips. However, AMD teamed with Taiwan Semiconductor(NYSE:TSM)to use that manufacturer’s 7nm process to surpass INTC in process technology. Combined with AMD’s developing new innovative chip designs, this one-two punch resulted in INTC losing significant market share.</p>\n<p>At the end of Q1, AMD held 19.30% of the x86 desktop&nbsp;market, a 70 basis point gain year-over-year. In Q2 AMD corralled 8% of the server market, up from a 5%&nbsp;market&nbsp;share in Q4 of 2019.</p>\n<p>Despite these setbacks, it seems premature to view Intel as a moribund business. INTC is one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world. The firm dominates the server market, and still holds 60% of the global x86 CPU&nbsp;market.</p>\n<p>The company has an enormous R&amp;D budget, and it is expanding into new markets, primarily Artificial Intelligence, Field-Programmable Gate Array chips, and automotive offerings, through its acquisitions of Habana Labs, Altera, Movidius, and Mobileye.</p>\n<p>Investors should not be swayed by the claim that Intel’s new 10nm chips are inferior to 7nm solely on the basis that 7 is superior to 10. While once used to denote the technology level of a chip design, it has been misused to the point of being useless.</p>\n<p>However, there are a number of concerns that must be acknowledged. Intel lags competitors in the smartphone market. As consumers shift to mobile devices, this could result in a sustained headwind as smartphones take the place of PCs. On the other hand, it should be acknowledged that INTC’s server processor business has seen growth associated with the surge in mobile devices and cloud computing.</p>\n<p>Intel also faces increased competition from AMD in the data center space, as well as customers developing their own ARM-based chips for CPUs.</p>\n<p><b>An Overview of AMD</b></p>\n<p>In years past, INTC held the lion’s share of the x86 market. This was due in part to Intel’s leading-edge manufacturing combined with AMD’s wafer supply agreements with less than stellar GlobalFoundries.</p>\n<p>However, a seismic shift occurred due to three factors: driven by innovative designs, AMD brought competitive products to market, AMD shifted to TSMC for production, and Intel faced repeated manufacturing delays. The two charts below document the progress the company has made.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/903df41d5400c9807ff487a75a7e5450\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"989\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:Q2 Earnings Presentation</span></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/331cd14b666f520a62d0746d5fadfa5b\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"989\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:Q2 Earnings Presentation</span></p>\n<p>Like Intel, AMD’s primary products are CPUs and GPUs. AMD’s chips are designed for PCs, game consoles, servers, and blockchain applications. And like INTC, AMD’s offerings are largely protected from competition due to the preponderance of software for PCs and servers being designed for x86 architecture.</p>\n<p>AMD’s strong growth has largely come at the expense of Intel as AMD has steadily chipped away at the former company’s CPU market share.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e7f8fbcab5da8a24d01d2b6408bd5686\" tg-width=\"576\" tg-height=\"336\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>AMD’s focus on CPU and GPU semi-custom processor applications has resulted in their use in Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation game consoles.</p>\n<p>In regards to PC integrated GPUs, AMD is roughly in parity with NVIDIA while INTC dominates with roughly 68% of the market.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/67a0fe74d986cf882623a8f39587d0d8\" tg-width=\"544\" tg-height=\"394\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:tom'sHARDWARE</span></p>\n<p>However, NVIDIA dominates the discrete GPU space with an 80% plus market share with AMD sweeping up what is left. NVIDIA’s discrete GPUs are arguably superior to AMD’s (more on that later); therefore, investors should not look for growth here.</p>\n<p>Although AMD’s EPYC server CPU products were competitive with that of rivals, initially the company relied on aggressive pricing to promote its first generation of EPYC offerings. However, the EPYC line has gained wider acceptance, and with the Milan processors, the company is gaining market share. As server CPUs provide a better profit margin than the company’s other products, expansion into that space should aid in driving revenue.</p>\n<p>Late last year,AMD entered intoa deal&nbsp;to acquire&nbsp;Xilinx (XLNX), a leader in field programmable gate array (FPGA) chips. FPGAs can be used for a wide variety of applications. Because shifting to a competing FPGA provider requires retraining of engineers in software and design tools, customers are loath to make a switch to a competing vendor. Consequently, if the Xilinx deal goes through, AMD will have acquired a wide moat business. Management guides for operational efficiencies of approximately $300 million within 18 months of closing the transaction.</p>\n<p>The Xilinx acquisition should bolster AMD’s data center and artificial intelligence businesses.</p>\n<p>AMD agreed to acquire Xilinx for $35 billion in an all-stock transaction.</p>\n<p><b>A Survey of NVIDIA</b></p>\n<p>NVDA's focus on the graphics processing units market has led the company to a dominant position in the discrete GPU space. The firm is the leader in discrete GPUs for computing platforms, especially gaming consoles. The fact that Intel licensed intellectual property from NVIDIA to integrate GPUs into its PC chipset testifies to the lead the company maintains.</p>\n<p>The chart below provides a record of the burgeoning ASP the company has been able to command over the last half decade, beginning with the Pascal architecture in 2016, and progressing through Turing to Ampere.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/04fb1d71f9df02f6c63907fe784b2fd8\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"720\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:AMD Investor Presentation</span></p>\n<p>The firm’s chips are also found in many high-end PCs, and NVDA has particular strength in the incipient AI and self-driving vehicle markets.</p>\n<p>GPUs are being teamed with CPUs to&nbsp;enhance&nbsp;computation workloads. This stratagem is designed to bolster the ability of AI systems to perform computationally intensive tasks. AI related to&nbsp;autonomous&nbsp;vehicles is a developing strength for NVIDIA. Another arena in which the firm is making its mark is in cloud</p>\n<p>AI and data centers pose the most likely avenue of growth for NVDA. To strengthen its position in both businesses, the company moved last year to acquire ARM Holdings (ARMHF) from parent company Softbank for $40 billion.</p>\n<p>ARM is the globe’s largest licensor of chip designs. Its chips are ubiquitous and can be found in mobile phones, smart TVs, and tablet computers. 160 billion chips have been made using ARM designs.</p>\n<p>Perhaps of equal importance is that 13 million developers work with ARM devices. To place that in context, NVDA has 2 million developers working on its array of devices.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately for investors, bothChinaand theU.K.are reportedly balking at approving the deal.</p>\n<p><b>Head-To-Head Comparisons</b></p>\n<p><b>Valuation Metrics</b></p>\n<p>The following chart provides a variety of metrics related to each stock's valuation. All data labeled forward is analysts’ next fiscal year consensus estimate.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1bdeabcd2ea473601fbaaaa03235de77\" tg-width=\"576\" tg-height=\"336\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:Seeking Alpha Premium/ chart by author</span></p>\n<p>Next, I’m using a graph to provide PEG ratios for the three companies. As there can be fairly wide variations in PEG ratios due to analysts’ inputs, I prefer that readers have access to multiple sources when I find wide variance in the ratio.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/884fc2142d97afcc9e2308e50058dd45\" tg-width=\"576\" tg-height=\"336\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Chart by author</span></p>\n<p>Note that Seeking Alpha provides a three to five-year PEG, Schwab simply lists its metric as a PEG ratio, while Yahoo! Finance calculates a five-year ratio. This could explain some of the variance in the numbers provided.</p>\n<p>Perusing the first chart, it is obvious that NVDA is the most overvalued. It is also interesting to note that in the current P/E and the forward price/cash flow estimates show AMD as valued near the sector median.</p>\n<p>Count me as an investor that places great emphasis on a stocks PEG Ratio. Viewing the second chart, AMD has the best PEG of the three companies. I also note that analysts from each source calculated AMD’s PEG ratio as better than the sector median.</p>\n<p>Do not misinterpret my findings. While INTC has a lower valuation in many respects, when considering other factors, I rate AMD higher overall. In other words, it is not the cheapest valuation but the best valuation, for lack of a better means to articulate my view.</p>\n<p><b>=Advantage AMD</b></p>\n<p><b>Analysts’ Price Targets</b></p>\n<p>NVIDIA shares currently trade for $202.95. The average 12-month price target of 33 analysts is $186.49. The average price target of the 17 analysts that rated the stock following the latest earnings report is $210.53, about 3.7% above the current price of the stock.</p>\n<p>AMD shares currently trade for $107.58. The average 12-month price target of 28 analysts is $108.56. The average price target of the 11 analysts that rated the stock following the latest earnings report is $117.27, roughly 9% above the prevailing share price.</p>\n<p>Intel shares currently trade for $54.05. The average 12-month price target of 34 analysts is $59.86. The average price target of the 16 analysts that rated the stock following the latest earnings report is $58.97, a 9% premium over the current share price.</p>\n<p>Investors should be aware that it has been nearly three months since NVDA posted quarterly earnings while INTC and AMD reported recently.</p>\n<p><b>=Tie AMD/INTC</b></p>\n<p><b>Growth Rates</b></p>\n<p>The next chart provides data for growth rates. Unless otherwise noted, the metrics reflect analysts' average two-year forecasts.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e8ae1b79b3731a985fc209e626ca4886\" tg-width=\"577\" tg-height=\"337\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:Seeking Alpha Premium/ Chart by author</span></p>\n<p>While investors familiar with these three companies would expect INTC to perform poorly in relation to NVDA and AMD in regarding growth, in several cases Intel is projected to experience negative growth rates.</p>\n<p>Advanced Micro Devices projected growth leads that of NVIDIA in every category, and at times by very wide margins.</p>\n<p><b>=Advantage AMD</b></p>\n<p>I considered providing a chart outlining the profitability of each company; however, suffice it to say that each is highly profitable, and that a juxtaposition of the three would result in a tie.</p>\n<p>I often provide a comparison that breaks down dividend metrics, but AMD does not pay a dividend, and NVDA has an anemic yield. INTC currently yields about 2.6%. The dividend is well funded.</p>\n<p><b>Debt Metrics</b></p>\n<p>NVIDIA had $12.67 billion in cash and $5.96 billion at the end of the last quarter. Should the ARM acquisition meet approval, the deal is structured so that $21 billion of the $40 billion purchase price will be in stock.</p>\n<p>AMD has restructured its debt resulting in reduced interest costs. AMD had about $3.8 billion in cash and $313 million in long-term debt at the end of the most recent quarter.</p>\n<p>Intel's has solid investment-grade credit ratings. The company held nearly $24.86 billion cash at the end of the last quarter and had $31.7 billion long-term debt.</p>\n<p>All three firms have strong financial positions. Weighing the possibility that NVDA and AMD may add debt due to prospective acquisitions, I am rating the three firms as equals.</p>\n<p><b>R&amp;D Budgets</b></p>\n<p>This is the first time I have&nbsp;compared&nbsp;the R&amp;D budgets of companies for a head-to-head showdown. However, in the semiconductor industry, that can be of pivotal importance.</p>\n<p>Last fiscal year, Intel devoted over $13.5 billion to R&amp;D, NVDA spent nearly $2.83 billion, and AMD budgeted a bit over $1.9 billion on research and development.</p>\n<p>AMD is at a clear disadvantage, and that weakness is magnified because it often competes against INTC and NVDA in different arenas. It should be noted that a portion of Intel’s R&amp;D is funneled to its foundry business. Nevertheless, it is the clear winner here, and AMD is the obvious loser.</p>\n<p>I should add that NVDA is chipping away at AMD’s share of the discrete GPU market, and I believe that trend will continue, in part due to the disparity in R&amp;D budgets.</p>\n<p><b>=Advantage INTC</b></p>\n<p><b>Bottom Line: Which Is The Best Chip Stock?</b></p>\n<p>To arrive at an answer, much depends on whether NVIDIA can complete its acquisition of ARM.</p>\n<p>Because ARM processors are more power and cost-efficient than x86 chips, NVDA could gain market share in the data center space. Since around a third of Intel’s revenue flows from data centers, that could represent a headwind for INTC and a positive for NVDA. However, there is a good chance the deal will fail to close.</p>\n<p>The degree of success Intel finds as its&nbsp;planned&nbsp;foundries come online is another factor that should be weighed.</p>\n<p>A development to be weighed is that AMD has now reached parity with INTC in the PC market in terms of the quality of its products. Furthermore, AMD is gaining market share in the server market, and I expect that trend to continue.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, AMD is losing share in the discrete GPU market to NVDA. NVDA has a technological lead in that space which will probably continue.</p>\n<p>While AMD and NVDA are seen as growth machines, one should not ignore that Intel’s Internet of Things business increased by 47% in the last quarter. Mobileye also saw a surge in growth with revenue increasing 124%. Although these businesses only totaled $1.3 billion in revenue, a fraction of Intel's total revenue of $18.5 billion, they still represent areas of high growth.</p>\n<p>However, note the header refers to “chip stock.” Consequently, technological advantages are but one part of the puzzle. Any investment decision must take current valuations and prospective growth rates into account.</p>\n<p>With that in mind, I must rate NVIDIA as a HOLD due to current valuation and growth estimates. Note my rating is based on the current valuation of the stock. I acknowledge the exemplary leadership of the company and believe the long-term prospect for the stock is excellent.</p>\n<p>I also rate INTC as a HOLD. I previously rated the company as a buy.

However, the firm stumbled with its 10-nanometer process, and recently announced its 7-nm process will be delayed until 2023.\nThis left the door open to Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), and that firm has taken full advantage of the opportunity. AMD has taken a large share of the CPU market and is making inroads into the once nearly impenetrable server market.\nAMD now has seven consecutive quarters of double-digit revenue growth under its belt, and it appears the firm is gaining momentum: management now guides for 60% revenue growth for the full year, up from the 50% forecast provided in the previous quarter.\nHowever, AMD also competes with NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA), and the latter company’s GPU technology is stealing market share. NVDA has also been successful in gaining access to adjacent markets with its GPUs, especially AI and automotive markets.\nThe Ins And Outs of Intel\nAn understanding of Intel also provides insights into AMD. This is due to the overlap between the two companies, particularly in regards to x86 chips. Intel developed the x86 chip in 1978. To satisfy demands by IBM that Intel would not be the sole supplier of the chips, INTC provided x86 instruction set architecture licensing to AMD.\nConsequently, Intel and AMD have a duopoly position in the PC and server markets, as nearly all computer software is written for x86 architecture. The result is that both have a wide moat related to the x86 ecosystem.\nGaming consoles in particular are based on x86 architecture due to those platforms generally providing more powerful CPUs and GPUs with multiple compute cores. Like PCs, consoles operate with games that use x86 based software. Once again, this stifles potential competition from ARM-based devices.\nUntil fairly recently, AMD was a distant second to INTC as a supplier of x86 chips. However, AMD teamed with Taiwan Semiconductor(NYSE:TSM)to use that manufacturer’s 7nm process to surpass INTC in process technology. Combined with AMD’s developing new innovative chip designs, this one-two punch resulted in INTC losing significant market share.\nAt the end of Q1, AMD held 19.30% of the x86 desktop market, a 70 basis point gain year-over-year. In Q2 AMD corralled 8% of the server market, up from a 5% market share in Q4 of 2019.\nDespite these setbacks, it seems premature to view Intel as a moribund business. INTC is one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world. The firm dominates the server market, and still holds 60% of the global x86 CPU market.\nThe company has an enormous R&D budget, and it is expanding into new markets, primarily Artificial Intelligence, Field-Programmable Gate Array chips, and automotive offerings, through its acquisitions of Habana Labs, Altera, Movidius, and Mobileye.\nInvestors should not be swayed by the claim that Intel’s new 10nm chips are inferior to 7nm solely on the basis that 7 is superior to 10. While once used to denote the technology level of a chip design, it has been misused to the point of being useless.\nHowever, there are a number of concerns that must be acknowledged. Intel lags competitors in the smartphone market. As consumers shift to mobile devices, this could result in a sustained headwind as smartphones take the place of PCs. On the other hand, it should be acknowledged that INTC’s server processor business has seen growth associated with the surge in mobile devices and cloud computing.\nIntel also faces increased competition from AMD in the data center space, as well as customers developing their own ARM-based chips for CPUs.\nAn Overview of AMD\nIn years past, INTC held the lion’s share of the x86 market. This was due in part to Intel’s leading-edge manufacturing combined with AMD’s wafer supply agreements with less than stellar GlobalFoundries.\nHowever, a seismic shift occurred due to three factors: driven by innovative designs, AMD brought competitive products to market, AMD shifted to TSMC for production, and Intel faced repeated manufacturing delays. The two charts below document the progress the company has made.\nSource:Q2 Earnings Presentation\nSource:Q2 Earnings Presentation\nLike Intel, AMD’s primary products are CPUs and GPUs. AMD’s chips are designed for PCs, game consoles, servers, and blockchain applications. And like INTC, AMD’s offerings are largely protected from competition due to the preponderance of software for PCs and servers being designed for x86 architecture.\nAMD’s strong growth has largely come at the expense of Intel as AMD has steadily chipped away at the former company’s CPU market share.\nSource:Seeking Alpha\nAMD’s focus on CPU and GPU semi-custom processor applications has resulted in their use in Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation game consoles.\nIn regards to PC integrated GPUs, AMD is roughly in parity with NVIDIA while INTC dominates with roughly 68% of the market.\nSource:tom'sHARDWARE\nHowever, NVIDIA dominates the discrete GPU space with an 80% plus market share with AMD sweeping up what is left. NVIDIA’s discrete GPUs are arguably superior to AMD’s (more on that later); therefore, investors should not look for growth here.\nAlthough AMD’s EPYC server CPU products were competitive with that of rivals, initially the company relied on aggressive pricing to promote its first generation of EPYC offerings. However, the EPYC line has gained wider acceptance, and with the Milan processors, the company is gaining market share. As server CPUs provide a better profit margin than the company’s other products, expansion into that space should aid in driving revenue.\nLate last year,AMD entered intoa deal to acquire Xilinx (XLNX), a leader in field programmable gate array (FPGA) chips. FPGAs can be used for a wide variety of applications. Because shifting to a competing FPGA provider requires retraining of engineers in software and design tools, customers are loath to make a switch to a competing vendor. Consequently, if the Xilinx deal goes through, AMD will have acquired a wide moat business. Management guides for operational efficiencies of approximately $300 million within 18 months of closing the transaction.\nThe Xilinx acquisition should bolster AMD’s data center and artificial intelligence businesses.\nAMD agreed to acquire Xilinx for $35 billion in an all-stock transaction.\nA Survey of NVIDIA\nNVDA's focus on the graphics processing units market has led the company to a dominant position in the discrete GPU space. The firm is the leader in discrete GPUs for computing platforms, especially gaming consoles. The fact that Intel licensed intellectual property from NVIDIA to integrate GPUs into its PC chipset testifies to the lead the company maintains.\nThe chart below provides a record of the burgeoning ASP the company has been able to command over the last half decade, beginning with the Pascal architecture in 2016, and progressing through Turing to Ampere.\nSource:AMD Investor Presentation\nThe firm’s chips are also found in many high-end PCs, and NVDA has particular strength in the incipient AI and self-driving vehicle markets.\nGPUs are being teamed with CPUs to enhance computation workloads. This stratagem is designed to bolster the ability of AI systems to perform computationally intensive tasks. AI related to autonomous vehicles is a developing strength for NVIDIA. Another arena in which the firm is making its mark is in cloud\nAI and data centers pose the most likely avenue of growth for NVDA. To strengthen its position in both businesses, the company moved last year to acquire ARM Holdings (ARMHF) from parent company Softbank for $40 billion.\nARM is the globe’s largest licensor of chip designs. Its chips are ubiquitous and can be found in mobile phones, smart TVs, and tablet computers. 160 billion chips have been made using ARM designs.\nPerhaps of equal importance is that 13 million developers work with ARM devices. To place that in context, NVDA has 2 million developers working on its array of devices.\nUnfortunately for investors, bothChinaand theU.K.are reportedly balking at approving the deal.\nHead-To-Head Comparisons\nValuation Metrics\nThe following chart provides a variety of metrics related to each stock's valuation. All data labeled forward is analysts’ next fiscal year consensus estimate.\nSource:Seeking Alpha Premium/ chart by author\nNext, I’m using a graph to provide PEG ratios for the three companies. As there can be fairly wide variations in PEG ratios due to analysts’ inputs, I prefer that readers have access to multiple sources when I find wide variance in the ratio.\nChart by author\nNote that Seeking Alpha provides a three to five-year PEG, Schwab simply lists its metric as a PEG ratio, while Yahoo! Finance calculates a five-year ratio. This could explain some of the variance in the numbers provided.\nPerusing the first chart, it is obvious that NVDA is the most overvalued. It is also interesting to note that in the current P/E and the forward price/cash flow estimates show AMD as valued near the sector median.\nCount me as an investor that places great emphasis on a stocks PEG Ratio. Viewing the second chart, AMD has the best PEG of the three companies. I also note that analysts from each source calculated AMD’s PEG ratio as better than the sector median.\nDo not misinterpret my findings. While INTC has a lower valuation in many respects, when considering other factors, I rate AMD higher overall. In other words, it is not the cheapest valuation but the best valuation, for lack of a better means to articulate my view.\n=Advantage AMD\nAnalysts’ Price Targets\nNVIDIA shares currently trade for $202.95. The average 12-month price target of 33 analysts is $186.49. The average price target of the 17 analysts that rated the stock following the latest earnings report is $210.53, about 3.7% above the current price of the stock.\nAMD shares currently trade for $107.58. The average 12-month price target of 28 analysts is $108.56. The average price target of the 11 analysts that rated the stock following the latest earnings report is $117.27, roughly 9% above the prevailing share price.\nIntel shares currently trade for $54.05. The average 12-month price target of 34 analysts is $59.86. The average price target of the 16 analysts that rated the stock following the latest earnings report is $58.97, a 9% premium over the current share price.\nInvestors should be aware that it has been nearly three months since NVDA posted quarterly earnings while INTC and AMD reported recently.\n=Tie AMD/INTC\nGrowth Rates\nThe next chart provides data for growth rates. Unless otherwise noted, the metrics reflect analysts' average two-year forecasts.\nSource:Seeking Alpha Premium/ Chart by author\nWhile investors familiar with these three companies would expect INTC to perform poorly in relation to NVDA and AMD in regarding growth, in several cases Intel is projected to experience negative growth rates.\nAdvanced Micro Devices projected growth leads that of NVIDIA in every category, and at times by very wide margins.\n=Advantage AMD\nI considered providing a chart outlining the profitability of each company; however, suffice it to say that each is highly profitable, and that a juxtaposition of the three would result in a tie.\nI often provide a comparison that breaks down dividend metrics, but AMD does not pay a dividend, and NVDA has an anemic yield. INTC currently yields about 2.6%. The dividend is well funded.\nDebt Metrics\nNVIDIA had $12.67 billion in cash and $5.96 billion at the end of the last quarter. Should the ARM acquisition meet approval, the deal is structured so that $21 billion of the $40 billion purchase price will be in stock.\nAMD has restructured its debt resulting in reduced interest costs. AMD had about $3.8 billion in cash and $313 million in long-term debt at the end of the most recent quarter.\nIntel's has solid investment-grade credit ratings. The company held nearly $24.86 billion cash at the end of the last quarter and had $31.7 billion long-term debt.\nAll three firms have strong financial positions. Weighing the possibility that NVDA and AMD may add debt due to prospective acquisitions, I am rating the three firms as equals.\nR&D Budgets\nThis is the first time I have compared the R&D budgets of companies for a head-to-head showdown. However, in the semiconductor industry, that can be of pivotal importance.\nLast fiscal year, Intel devoted over $13.5 billion to R&D, NVDA spent nearly $2.83 billion, and AMD budgeted a bit over $1.9 billion on research and development.\nAMD is at a clear disadvantage, and that weakness is magnified because it often competes against INTC and NVDA in different arenas. It should be noted that a portion of Intel’s R&D is funneled to its foundry business. Nevertheless, it is the clear winner here, and AMD is the obvious loser.\nI should add that NVDA is chipping away at AMD’s share of the discrete GPU market, and I believe that trend will continue, in part due to the disparity in R&D budgets.\n=Advantage INTC\nBottom Line: Which Is The Best Chip Stock?\nTo arrive at an answer, much depends on whether NVIDIA can complete its acquisition of ARM.\nBecause ARM processors are more power and cost-efficient than x86 chips, NVDA could gain market share in the data center space. Since around a third of Intel’s revenue flows from data centers, that could represent a headwind for INTC and a positive for NVDA. However, there is a good chance the deal will fail to close.\nThe degree of success Intel finds as its planned foundries come online is another factor that should be weighed.\nA development to be weighed is that AMD has now reached parity with INTC in the PC market in terms of the quality of its products. Furthermore, AMD is gaining market share in the server market, and I expect that trend to continue.\nOn the other hand, AMD is losing share in the discrete GPU market to NVDA. NVDA has a technological lead in that space which will probably continue.\nWhile AMD and NVDA are seen as growth machines, one should not ignore that Intel’s Internet of Things business increased by 47% in the last quarter. Mobileye also saw a surge in growth with revenue increasing 124%. Although these businesses only totaled $1.3 billion in revenue, a fraction of Intel's total revenue of $18.5 billion, they still represent areas of high growth.\nHowever, note the header refers to “chip stock.” Consequently, technological advantages are but one part of the puzzle. Any investment decision must take current valuations and prospective growth rates into account.\nWith that in mind, I must rate NVIDIA as a HOLD due to current valuation and growth estimates. Note my rating is based on the current valuation of the stock. I acknowledge the exemplary leadership of the company and believe the long-term prospect for the stock is excellent.\nI also rate INTC as a HOLD. I previously rated the company as a buy. While I still believe the firm will serve long-term investors well, I now believe its recovery will unfold over a long time span, and better opportunities are available.\nI rate AMD as a BUY. This is based on the current valuations and growth rates outlined in this article. I’ll add that those metrics are buttressed by my perception that as Intel works on its recovery, AMD is likely to chip away at market share.\nFor additional insights into the technological aspects of an investment in AMD and INTC, I recommend an excellent article by SA contributor Keyanoush Razavidinani.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":771,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":895441510,"gmtCreate":1628769428330,"gmtModify":1676529847963,"author":{"id":"3570938362108330","authorId":"3570938362108330","name":"KVCGTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2126be6bc046089345232547cb51d38a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570938362108330","authorIdStr":"3570938362108330"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good choice?

The stock price of the <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">ARK Innovation ETF</a></b>, for instance, has soared close to 150% since the beginning of 2020 and crushed the broader stock market's gains handsomely.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/845dfc5a66c843b06f22e65938d896a0\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>ARKK data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>The terrific gains are a result of Wood's strategy of investing in disruptive tech companies, such as cloud communications specialist <b>Twilio</b> (NYSE:TWLO). Twilio is among the top 10 holdings in the ARK Innovation ETF, accounting&nbsp;for 3.66% of the fund's value. The stock has more than tripled in value since January 2020, but investors who have missed this terrific rally now have a golden opportunity to go long Twilio. Let's see why.</p>\n<h2>Twilio's latest slip is an opportunity in disguise</h2>\n<p>Twilio stock price fell after the company released its Q2 earnings report, which seems surprising as it easily beat Wall Street's expectations. It reported a 67% year-over-year increase in revenue to $669 million, while non-GAAP loss per share increased from $0.09 in the prior-year period to $0.11 last quarter.</p>\n<p>Analysts expected Twilio to lose $0.13 per share on $598 million in revenue. However, it looks like Twilio's guidance for a bigger-than-expected loss this quarter may have triggered some panic among investors. Twilio expects&nbsp;to lose between $0.14 and $0.17 per share this quarter on revenue between $670 million and $680 million. Wall Street was expecting&nbsp;a smaller loss of $0.07 per share on $636.4 million in revenue.</p>\n<p>But investors shouldn't be focusing on Twilio's near-term bottom-line miss, as it is pulling the right strings to ensure growth in a lucrative market. Its revenue is on track to increase 50% to 52% year over year this quarter -- but don't be surprised to see Twilio do better than that, for a couple of reasons.</p>\n<p>First, the company's customer base is expanding at a quick pace. It finished Q2 with 240,000 customer accounts, compared to 200,000 in the year-ago period. The acquisitions&nbsp;of Segment and ValueFirst accounted for 7,500 of those customer additions.</p>\n<p>Second, Twilio is generating incremental business from existing customers. This is evident from the company's dollar-based net expansion rate of 135% in Q2, up from 132% in the prior-year period. The dollar-based net expansion rate increases when Twilio's active customers increase their usage of products they are already using or buy additional services from the company.</p>\n<p>It is worth noting that the metric wasn't impacted by the acquisitions of Segment and ValueFirst, as the dollar-based net expansion rate is calculated based on those active customer accounts that were present in the prior-year period. The new customers brought in by those acquisitions can boost spending if they decide to opt for Twilio's other products. Additionally, Twilio's existing customer base now has additional services to choose from, paving the way for further growth in the dollar-based net expansion rate in future quarters.</p>\n<p>Investors shouldn't forget that Twilio added another fast-growing company to its portfolio recently. The company recently spent $850 million&nbsp;to acquire toll-free messaging provider Zipwhip, bringing 30,000 new customers&nbsp;into its fold.</p>\n<p>Now, this acquisition-driven strategy is impacting the company's bottom-line performance because of acquisition-related expenses. For instance, it incurred $2.5 million in expenses to acquire Zipwhip. But investors shouldn't miss the forest for the trees, as Twilio's strategy of spending money to boost its top line will come in handy in the long run.</p>\n<h2>Focus on the bigger picture</h2>\n<p>Twilio is focused on grabbing as big a piece of the cloud communications market as possible. This is a smart thing to do, as the cloud communications market is expected to clock a compound annual growth rate of nearly 28% through 2026, and Twilio is currently growing at a faster pace than the space it operates in.</p>\n<p>The company's acquisitions indicate that it intends to keep outpacing the broader industry's growth, a strategy that could substantially boost revenue in the long run and eventually pave the way for bottom-line improvements.

The stock price of the ARK Innovation ETF, for instance, has soared close to 150% since the beginning of 2020 and crushed the broader stock market's gains handsomely.\nARKK data by YCharts\nThe terrific gains are a result of Wood's strategy of investing in disruptive tech companies, such as cloud communications specialist Twilio (NYSE:TWLO). Twilio is among the top 10 holdings in the ARK Innovation ETF, accounting for 3.66% of the fund's value. The stock has more than tripled in value since January 2020, but investors who have missed this terrific rally now have a golden opportunity to go long Twilio. Let's see why.\nTwilio's latest slip is an opportunity in disguise\nTwilio stock price fell after the company released its Q2 earnings report, which seems surprising as it easily beat Wall Street's expectations. It reported a 67% year-over-year increase in revenue to $669 million, while non-GAAP loss per share increased from $0.09 in the prior-year period to $0.11 last quarter.\nAnalysts expected Twilio to lose $0.13 per share on $598 million in revenue. However, it looks like Twilio's guidance for a bigger-than-expected loss this quarter may have triggered some panic among investors. Twilio expects to lose between $0.14 and $0.17 per share this quarter on revenue between $670 million and $680 million. Wall Street was expecting a smaller loss of $0.07 per share on $636.4 million in revenue.\nBut investors shouldn't be focusing on Twilio's near-term bottom-line miss, as it is pulling the right strings to ensure growth in a lucrative market. Its revenue is on track to increase 50% to 52% year over year this quarter -- but don't be surprised to see Twilio do better than that, for a couple of reasons.\nFirst, the company's customer base is expanding at a quick pace. It finished Q2 with 240,000 customer accounts, compared to 200,000 in the year-ago period. The acquisitions of Segment and ValueFirst accounted for 7,500 of those customer additions.\nSecond, Twilio is generating incremental business from existing customers. This is evident from the company's dollar-based net expansion rate of 135% in Q2, up from 132% in the prior-year period. The dollar-based net expansion rate increases when Twilio's active customers increase their usage of products they are already using or buy additional services from the company.\nIt is worth noting that the metric wasn't impacted by the acquisitions of Segment and ValueFirst, as the dollar-based net expansion rate is calculated based on those active customer accounts that were present in the prior-year period. The new customers brought in by those acquisitions can boost spending if they decide to opt for Twilio's other products. Additionally, Twilio's existing customer base now has additional services to choose from, paving the way for further growth in the dollar-based net expansion rate in future quarters.\nInvestors shouldn't forget that Twilio added another fast-growing company to its portfolio recently. The company recently spent $850 million to acquire toll-free messaging provider Zipwhip, bringing 30,000 new customers into its fold.\nNow, this acquisition-driven strategy is impacting the company's bottom-line performance because of acquisition-related expenses. For instance, it incurred $2.5 million in expenses to acquire Zipwhip. But investors shouldn't miss the forest for the trees, as Twilio's strategy of spending money to boost its top line will come in handy in the long run.\nFocus on the bigger picture\nTwilio is focused on grabbing as big a piece of the cloud communications market as possible. This is a smart thing to do, as the cloud communications market is expected to clock a compound annual growth rate of nearly 28% through 2026, and Twilio is currently growing at a faster pace than the space it operates in.\nThe company's acquisitions indicate that it intends to keep outpacing the broader industry's growth, a strategy that could substantially boost revenue in the long run and eventually pave the way for bottom-line improvements. Twilio estimates that its addressable market could hit $87 billion by 2023, a number that rises to $104 billion after including the revenue opportunity added by Segment.\nSo Twilio is just scratching the surface of a massive opportunity given that it has generated $2.25 billion in revenue in the past year. As such, it should be able to sustain its high levels of growth in the long run. That's why investors looking to add a growth stock to their portfolios can treat the recent slip in Twilio as a buying opportunity.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":803,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":895449597,"gmtCreate":1628769254719,"gmtModify":1676529847917,"author":{"id":"3570938362108330","authorId":"3570938362108330","name":"KVCGTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2126be6bc046089345232547cb51d38a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570938362108330","authorIdStr":"3570938362108330"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"??","listText":"??","text":"??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/895449597","repostId":"1124285877","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1124285877","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1628768412,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1124285877?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-12 19:40","market":"other","language":"en","title":"Messi joins crypto craze as gets part of PSG fee in fan tokens","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1124285877","media":"Reuters","summary":"MIAMI (Reuters) -Soccer star Lionel Messi’s signing on fee at Paris St Germain includes some of the ","content":"<p>MIAMI (Reuters) -Soccer star Lionel Messi’s signing on fee at Paris St Germain includes some of the French club’s cryptocurrency fan tokens, in the latest big name endorsement of new digital assets.</p>\n<p>The Argentine, 34, left Spanish side Barcelona and signed a two-year contract with Qatari-owned Paris St Germain (PSG), with an option for a third year, on Tuesday.</p>\n<p>Confirming an exclusive Reuters report, PSG said on Thursday the tokens were included in his “welcome package,” which media reports have estimated at 25-30 million euros ($29-35 million).

A stock that doubled in value was known as a \"two-bagger,\" while a stock that rose 20 times was called a \"20-bagger.\"</p>\n<p>Growth-oriented investors often seek out multibagger stocks in the tech sector, which has more than its fair share of high-growth and disruptive companies. It might seem tough to find the next big multibagger in this diverse sector, but studying a few stocks that previously crossed that threshold might help investors identify the upcoming winners.</p>\n<p>Let's examine three tech stocks that turned a modest $10,000 investment into more than $500,000 -- and what lessons we can glean from their massive multibagger gains.</p>\n<h2>1. Baidu: Turning $10,000 into more than $600,000</h2>\n<p><b>Baidu</b> (NASDAQ:BIDU), the Chinese tech company that owns the country's largest search engine, went public in 2005. If you had invested $10,000 in its IPO, your stake would be worth over $600,000 today.</p>\n<p>Between fiscal 2005 and 2010, Baidu's annual revenue rose at a whopping compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 97.8%. The growth of the Chinese economy, rising income levels, and higher internet penetration rates drove that growth, and Baidu solidified its position as the online search leader in 2010 after <b>Alphabet</b>'s Google pulled out of mainland China.</p>\n<p>Between 2010 and 2015, Baidu's annual revenue grew at a CAGR of 53.6% as it expanded its ecosystem beyond its search engine with new mobile apps and cloud storage services.</p>\n<p>But between 2015 and 2020, Baidu's revenue only rose at a CAGR of 9.9%, as tighter restrictions on its online ads, rising competition from monolithic apps like <b>Tencent</b>'s WeChat, and the slowdown of China's economy throttled its growth. The pandemic exacerbated that pain last year, and Baidu remains exposed to the Chinese government's escalating crackdown on its top tech companies.</p>\n<p>As a result, Baidu's stock price has declined about 40% over the past six months and has stayed roughly flat over the past five years. That dismal return indicates high-growth multibagger stocks like Baidu can lose their momentum as their core markets mature, new competitors enter the market, and government regulators change the rules of the game.</p>\n<h2>2. Shopify: Turning $10,000 into nearly $900,000</h2>\n<p><b>Shopify</b> (NYSE:SHOP), a Canadian e-commerce services company that enables businesses to build their own online stores, fulfill their own orders, and manage their own marketing campaigns, went public in 2015. A $10,000 investment in its IPO would be worth nearly $900,000 today.</p>\n<p>Shopify grew like a weed because many smaller businesses didn't want to tether themselves to big online marketplaces like<b> Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN), which rein in their sellers with listing fees and restrictive rules.

A stock that doubled in value was known as a \"two-bagger,\" while a stock that rose 20 times was called a \"20-bagger.\"\nGrowth-oriented investors often seek out multibagger stocks in the tech sector, which has more than its fair share of high-growth and disruptive companies. It might seem tough to find the next big multibagger in this diverse sector, but studying a few stocks that previously crossed that threshold might help investors identify the upcoming winners.\nLet's examine three tech stocks that turned a modest $10,000 investment into more than $500,000 -- and what lessons we can glean from their massive multibagger gains.\n1. Baidu: Turning $10,000 into more than $600,000\nBaidu (NASDAQ:BIDU), the Chinese tech company that owns the country's largest search engine, went public in 2005. If you had invested $10,000 in its IPO, your stake would be worth over $600,000 today.\nBetween fiscal 2005 and 2010, Baidu's annual revenue rose at a whopping compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 97.8%. The growth of the Chinese economy, rising income levels, and higher internet penetration rates drove that growth, and Baidu solidified its position as the online search leader in 2010 after Alphabet's Google pulled out of mainland China.\nBetween 2010 and 2015, Baidu's annual revenue grew at a CAGR of 53.6% as it expanded its ecosystem beyond its search engine with new mobile apps and cloud storage services.\nBut between 2015 and 2020, Baidu's revenue only rose at a CAGR of 9.9%, as tighter restrictions on its online ads, rising competition from monolithic apps like Tencent's WeChat, and the slowdown of China's economy throttled its growth. The pandemic exacerbated that pain last year, and Baidu remains exposed to the Chinese government's escalating crackdown on its top tech companies.\nAs a result, Baidu's stock price has declined about 40% over the past six months and has stayed roughly flat over the past five years. That dismal return indicates high-growth multibagger stocks like Baidu can lose their momentum as their core markets mature, new competitors enter the market, and government regulators change the rules of the game.\n2. Shopify: Turning $10,000 into nearly $900,000\nShopify (NYSE:SHOP), a Canadian e-commerce services company that enables businesses to build their own online stores, fulfill their own orders, and manage their own marketing campaigns, went public in 2015. A $10,000 investment in its IPO would be worth nearly $900,000 today.\nShopify grew like a weed because many smaller businesses didn't want to tether themselves to big online marketplaces like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), which rein in their sellers with listing fees and restrictive rules. That transition accelerated throughout the pandemic last year as more businesses opened online stores.\nShopify's revenue rose at a CAGR of 70.2% between 2015 and 2020. The stock has risen more than 30% this year, even as concerns about slower online spending in a post-pandemic market battered other e-commerce stocks -- and investors continue to pay a premium for Shopify's growth at over 40 times this year's sales.\nUnlike Baidu, Shopify doesn't yet face any existential challenges. Its decentralized e-commerce approach continues to disrupt Amazon's centralized platform, and it could have plenty of room to grow over the long term as more offline merchants bring their businesses online.\n3. Nvidia: Turning $10,000 into $8.16 million\nNvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), the world's largest producer of discrete GPUs for computers, servers, and video game consoles, went public in 1999. If you had invested $10,000 in its IPO back then, your initial investment would now be worth nearly $8.2 million.\nNvidia experienced a massive growth spurt over the past five years, as demand for its gaming and data center GPUs hit record levels. A new generation of PC games lifted sales of its gaming GPUs, while new AI applications at data centers sparked fierce demand for its high-end server GPUs.\nHigher cryptocurrency prices also periodically boosted sales of Nvidia's gaming GPUs for mining purposes, and it sold more Arm-based Tegra CPUs for connected cars and Nintendo's Switch consoles.\nThose tailwinds, along with its acquisition of the data center equipment maker Mellanox last April, boosted Nvidia's annual revenue at a CAGR of 27.2% between fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2021.\nNvidia remains one of the market's fastest-growing chipmakers, even as its proposed acquisition of Arm Holdings remains on thin ice. It continues to widen its lead against Advanced Micro Devices in the discrete GPU market, and it remains a solid investment on the secular growth of the gaming, data center, and AI markets.\nNvidia's stock price has rallied more than 50% this year, yet its stock still looks surprisingly cheap at 12 times forward earnings. Therefore, Nvidia's stock could still have plenty of room to run -- even if the regulators strike down its ambitious takeover of Arm Holdings.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":608,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":898421132,"gmtCreate":1628518226726,"gmtModify":1703507458095,"author":{"id":"3570938362108330","authorId":"3570938362108330","name":"KVCGTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2126be6bc046089345232547cb51d38a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570938362108330","authorIdStr":"3570938362108330"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow.

However, technology company <b>Matterport</b> (NASDAQ:MTTR) is turning physical property into 3D spaces, unlocking various new ways that businesses can use properties. Matterport could be a game changer for investors. Here are three important reasons why.</p>\n<h3>1. Turning buildings into data</h3>\n<p>Savills World Research estimates that the total value of buildings worldwide could be as high as $230 trillion; most of it is \"offline,\" as these buildings were built years before the internet. These buildings are isolated from the digital world, and are only viewable in photo images and \"blueprints,\" documents that map a space's dimensions and features.</p>\n<p>Matterport is bringing buildings into the digital world. Using a combination of special cameras and its smartphone app to record physical spaces, Matterport's patented software then converts them into 3D models that can be viewed, measured, and interacted with.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/14069bd7e6693ec12952c4ec8c1e363c\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"632\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Image Source: Getty Images</p>\n<p>Matterport was founded in 2011, but only went public last month via a SPAC. To date, the company has captured 4.9 million spaces, totaling 15 billion square feet. Management estimates that this is 100X more than its closest competitor, giving Matterport a significant first-mover's advantage.</p>\n<h3>2. Matterport has many uses</h3>\n<p>The massive global supply of buildings translates to an addressable market that management estimates to be $240 billion. Matterport's potential upside will be determined by how well it can capture that market.</p>\n<p>Digitizing property unlocks a variety of uses for Matterport's customers. Existing customers are using the technology to give consumers digital access to properties. Prospective homebuyers can tour digital versions of houses on <b>Redfin</b>, and renters can preview properties before booking them on <b>Airbnb</b>. Insurance companies can document property claims better than photos could. Retailers are even starting to use Matterport to construct virtual representations of their stores, where online customers can browse and purchase from within 3D storefronts.</p>\n<p>Matterport has collected more than 3 billion data points to date, and management hopes to begin using that data to provide data-based insights to its customers. This could include measuring dimensions within buildings, breaking down trends, or simply answering customer questions. Imagine wanting to replace windows in a commercial building and being able to determine measurements without setting foot on location!</p>\n<p>From maintenance to real estate to retail, there are many ways that companies can use digital spaces. The many buildings in the world and the potential applications of this technology could lead to years of potential growth opportunities for Matterport.</p>\n<h3>3. Fueling many years of growth ahead</h3>\n<p>Matterport sells camera hardware for capturing spaces and offers its technology on a subscription-based model. Revenue in 2020 was $86 million, with 38% being hardware sales. The company's subscriptions have higher gross margins than its product sales, and management expects subscription revenue to outpace hardware sales over time, increasing Matterport's overall profitability. The business is not currently profitable, however, having lost $11.6 million from operations in 2020.</p>\n<p>Matterport's business is positioned to grow revenue for the foreseeable future thanks to the multiple ways the company is expanding.

However, technology company Matterport (NASDAQ:MTTR) is turning physical property into 3D spaces, unlocking various new ways that businesses can use properties. Matterport could be a game changer for investors. Here are three important reasons why.\n1. Turning buildings into data\nSavills World Research estimates that the total value of buildings worldwide could be as high as $230 trillion; most of it is \"offline,\" as these buildings were built years before the internet. These buildings are isolated from the digital world, and are only viewable in photo images and \"blueprints,\" documents that map a space's dimensions and features.\nMatterport is bringing buildings into the digital world. Using a combination of special cameras and its smartphone app to record physical spaces, Matterport's patented software then converts them into 3D models that can be viewed, measured, and interacted with.\n\nImage Source: Getty Images\nMatterport was founded in 2011, but only went public last month via a SPAC. To date, the company has captured 4.9 million spaces, totaling 15 billion square feet. Management estimates that this is 100X more than its closest competitor, giving Matterport a significant first-mover's advantage.\n2. Matterport has many uses\nThe massive global supply of buildings translates to an addressable market that management estimates to be $240 billion. Matterport's potential upside will be determined by how well it can capture that market.\nDigitizing property unlocks a variety of uses for Matterport's customers. Existing customers are using the technology to give consumers digital access to properties. Prospective homebuyers can tour digital versions of houses on Redfin, and renters can preview properties before booking them on Airbnb. Insurance companies can document property claims better than photos could. Retailers are even starting to use Matterport to construct virtual representations of their stores, where online customers can browse and purchase from within 3D storefronts.\nMatterport has collected more than 3 billion data points to date, and management hopes to begin using that data to provide data-based insights to its customers. This could include measuring dimensions within buildings, breaking down trends, or simply answering customer questions. Imagine wanting to replace windows in a commercial building and being able to determine measurements without setting foot on location!\nFrom maintenance to real estate to retail, there are many ways that companies can use digital spaces. The many buildings in the world and the potential applications of this technology could lead to years of potential growth opportunities for Matterport.\n3. Fueling many years of growth ahead\nMatterport sells camera hardware for capturing spaces and offers its technology on a subscription-based model. Revenue in 2020 was $86 million, with 38% being hardware sales. The company's subscriptions have higher gross margins than its product sales, and management expects subscription revenue to outpace hardware sales over time, increasing Matterport's overall profitability. The business is not currently profitable, however, having lost $11.6 million from operations in 2020.\nMatterport's business is positioned to grow revenue for the foreseeable future thanks to the multiple ways the company is expanding. It released a smartphone app in 2020, for example, which has made it much easier to get started on the platform.\nIt offers a \"freemium\" model, where users can try Matterport for free before becoming paid customers to unlock the full platform. Enterprise customers that have converted from free to paid subscribers include Shopify, Starbucks, Hermes Paris, and Andersen Windows & Doors. Management disclosed that 13% of the Fortune 1000 are currently using the free model.\nIts subscriber growth increased six-fold in 2021's Q1 over 2020, growing total revenue 108% to $26.9 million year-over-year. Management is guiding for 2021 full-year revenue to grow 43% from 2020 to $123 million. The increase in subscribers could indicate strong revenue growth over the coming years, because customers spend 29% more after subscribing to Matterport's platform.\nIs Matterport a buy today?\nMatterport is newly public and is still just under $4 billion in market cap, giving investors long-term potential if the business can successfully grow. Matterport trades at a price-to-sales ratio of 30 using 2021 estimated revenue, a similar P/S ratio to that of other high-growth software stocks. Shareholders will want to make sure that subscription growth continues and that Matterport successfully converts freemium users into paying customers.\nWith such a large addressable market, its distinct first-mover's advantage, and little notable competition, Matterport is a company that could grow into its valuation, rewarding patient investors over time.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":620,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":804028255,"gmtCreate":1627913004177,"gmtModify":1703497769513,"author":{"id":"3570938362108330","authorId":"3570938362108330","name":"KVCGTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2126be6bc046089345232547cb51d38a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570938362108330","authorIdStr":"3570938362108330"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Vaxart not bad.

For instance, it's faced shortages of certain raw materials needed to produce the vaccine candidate.

Novavax said in its latest earnings call that it expects to generate billions of dollars in revenue over the next four to six quarters. If Novavax wins vaccine authorization in the coming months, this could become a reality. The company already has orders to deliver 200 million doses to various countries. All of this could equal solid share performance in the second half.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/54a0fc748f5a7357128a290dd852b959\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"534\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>NVAX data by YCharts</p>\n<p><b>Vaxart</b></p>\n<p>The program:&nbsp;<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VXRT\">Vaxart, Inc</a></b> seemed out of the race earlier in the year. The company's phase 1 trial showed its oral vaccine candidate didn't produce neutralizing antibodies. They are seen as key to preventing infection. But additional trial data demonstrated strength in producing killer T cell responses. This powerful immune system tool is another way to fight infection. Vaxart said it would launch a phase 2 study of its candidate mid-year. It will start a phase 1/2 study of a variant-specific candidate in the third quarter.</p>\n<p>The share price: Vaxart shares climbed 31% in the first half. That follows last year's 1,500% increase.</p>\n<p>Are more share gains on the horizon? Vaxart remains risky. Any negative news in the second half could be disastrous. Still, the idea of a vaccine in pill form could be a game-changer. If the company announces trial starts as planned, the shares may outperform the market in the coming months. And any positive data could offer a major boost.</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MRNA\">Moderna, Inc.</a></b></p>\n<p>The program: Moderna reported more than $1 billion in profit -- its first profit ever -- after <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> full quarter of coronavirus vaccine sales. The company expects at least $19.2 billion in vaccine revenue this year. It's already won 2022 orders from countries including the U.S., Israel, and Switzerland. And the company predicts need for the vaccine could be greater next year than this year.</p>\n<p>The share price: Moderna shares rose about 125% in the first half -- and added more than 40% over the past month. That's after a 434% increase last year.</p>\n<p>Are more share gains on the horizon? Moderna is likely to beat the S&amp;P 500 in the second half if three key things happen: The company reports new contracts for 2022, successfully gains authorization for the use of its vaccine in teens, and gets the regulatory nod for a booster. I'm pretty optimistic about each.</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARCT\">Arcturus Therapeutics Ltd.</a> </b></p>\n<p>The program:<b>Arcturus Therapeutics</b> (NASDAQ:ARCT) is testing its mRNA vaccine in a phase 2 study and plans on reporting data in the second half. The product could stand out from mRNA rivals<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PFE\">Pfizer</a></b> and Moderna because it's freeze-dried and given in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> dose. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines require cold storage and are given in two shots.</p>\n<p>The share price: Arcturus shares slipped 22% in the first half. Last year, they surged 299%.</p>\n<p>Is a share price recovery on the horizon? The above advantages sound great. But here's the problem: In a phase 1 study, Arcturus' candidate produced lower neutralizing antibody levels than the Pfizer and Moderna jabs. This translates into lower efficacy. If the next batch of data shows stronger results, the shares could climb. But if performance remains well below rivals, I wouldn't expect Arcturus to beat the S&amp;P 500 in the second half.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cd5cf54e35734c9da8a1260f2c3436bc\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"534\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>NVAX data by YCharts</p>\n<p><b>Ocugen</b></p>\n<p>The program:&nbsp;<b>Ocugen</b> (NASDAQ:OCGN) in December announced it would partner with India's Bharat Biotech to co-commercialize its late-stage coronavirus vaccine in the U.S. More recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration advised Ocugen to pursue a traditional regulatory path rather than Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). Ocugen also gained rights to co-commercialize the candidate in Canada and has started a rolling submission there.</p>\n<p>The share price: Ocugen stock soared 338% in the first half. That's after climbing more than 251% last year (with almost all of that gain coming after the Bharat partnership announcement).</p>\n<p>Are more share gains on the horizon? Ocugen remains high risk. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ISBC\">Investors</a> were betting on big revenue from a possible EUA in the U.S. Now, revenue possibilities seem lower and farther off. The stock may continue to climb in the second half if Canada moves quickly on an authorization. But in my opinion, over the long term, the shares are like a house of cards. If U.S. approval doesn't happen or takes too long, they may collapse.</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INO\">Inovio Pharmaceuticals</a> </b></p>\n<p>The program: Earlier this year, the U.S. government dropped plans to fund<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INO\">Inovio Pharmaceuticals</a></b>' (NASDAQ:INO) phase 3 trial. The government cited the rapid launch of other vaccines into the marketplace. As a result, Inovio said it would conduct phase 3 primarily outside of the U.S. The company aims to launch the trial with Chinese partner Advaccine Biopharmaceuticals Suzhou this summer. Inovio also is working on a next-generation \"pan-COVID\" vaccine candidate. It plans to start clinical testing on the candidate this year.</p>\n<p>The share price: Inovio added 4.8% in the first half. That's after climbing 168% last year.</p>\n<p>Are more share gains on the horizon? Inovio is another high-risk stock. Its initial candidate may have trouble carving out share in a market dominated by solid players. Most promising is the pan-COVID candidate. Especially considering the growth of variants. But we'll need clinical trial data to see if the potential product actually works. I would be surprised if Inovio beat the S&amp;P 500 in the second half of this year. The pan-COVID candidate makes Inovio a stock to watch -- but from a distance.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Can Last Year's Biggest Vaccine Stocks Crush the Market Again?</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\">\nCan Last Year's Biggest Vaccine Stocks Crush the Market Again?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-02 20:57 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/02/can-these-big-vaccine-stocks-crush-market-again/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>These players delivered triple- and quadruple-digit gains.\n\nKey Points\n\nLast year, most coronavirus vaccine stocks were high risk.\nToday, there are investment opportunities for aggressive investors ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/02/can-these-big-vaccine-stocks-crush-market-again/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PFE":"辉瑞","VXRT":"Vaxart, Inc","BNTX":"BioNTech SE","MRNA":"Moderna, Inc.","OCGN":"Ocugen","INO":"伊诺维奥制药","NVAX":"诺瓦瓦克斯医药","ARCT":"Arcturus Therapeutics Ltd."},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/02/can-these-big-vaccine-stocks-crush-market-again/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2156192895","content_text":"These players delivered triple- and quadruple-digit gains.\n\nKey Points\n\nLast year, most coronavirus vaccine stocks were high risk.\nToday, there are investment opportunities for aggressive investors and cautious investors.\n\nCoronavirus vaccine stocks were the biggest investment theme of 2020.

All of this could equal solid share performance in the second half.\n\nNVAX data by YCharts\nVaxart\nThe program: Vaxart, Inc seemed out of the race earlier in the year. The company's phase 1 trial showed its oral vaccine candidate didn't produce neutralizing antibodies. They are seen as key to preventing infection. But additional trial data demonstrated strength in producing killer T cell responses. This powerful immune system tool is another way to fight infection. Vaxart said it would launch a phase 2 study of its candidate mid-year. It will start a phase 1/2 study of a variant-specific candidate in the third quarter.\nThe share price: Vaxart shares climbed 31% in the first half. That follows last year's 1,500% increase.\nAre more share gains on the horizon? Vaxart remains risky. Any negative news in the second half could be disastrous. Still, the idea of a vaccine in pill form could be a game-changer. If the company announces trial starts as planned, the shares may outperform the market in the coming months. And any positive data could offer a major boost.\nModerna, Inc.\nThe program: Moderna reported more than $1 billion in profit -- its first profit ever -- after one full quarter of coronavirus vaccine sales. The company expects at least $19.2 billion in vaccine revenue this year. It's already won 2022 orders from countries including the U.S., Israel, and Switzerland. And the company predicts need for the vaccine could be greater next year than this year.\nThe share price: Moderna shares rose about 125% in the first half -- and added more than 40% over the past month. That's after a 434% increase last year.\nAre more share gains on the horizon? Moderna is likely to beat the S&P 500 in the second half if three key things happen: The company reports new contracts for 2022, successfully gains authorization for the use of its vaccine in teens, and gets the regulatory nod for a booster. I'm pretty optimistic about each.\nArcturus Therapeutics Ltd. \nThe program:Arcturus Therapeutics (NASDAQ:ARCT) is testing its mRNA vaccine in a phase 2 study and plans on reporting data in the second half. The product could stand out from mRNA rivalsPfizer and Moderna because it's freeze-dried and given in one dose. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines require cold storage and are given in two shots.\nThe share price: Arcturus shares slipped 22% in the first half. Last year, they surged 299%.\nIs a share price recovery on the horizon? The above advantages sound great. But here's the problem: In a phase 1 study, Arcturus' candidate produced lower neutralizing antibody levels than the Pfizer and Moderna jabs. This translates into lower efficacy. If the next batch of data shows stronger results, the shares could climb. But if performance remains well below rivals, I wouldn't expect Arcturus to beat the S&P 500 in the second half.\n\nNVAX data by YCharts\nOcugen\nThe program: Ocugen (NASDAQ:OCGN) in December announced it would partner with India's Bharat Biotech to co-commercialize its late-stage coronavirus vaccine in the U.S. More recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration advised Ocugen to pursue a traditional regulatory path rather than Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). Ocugen also gained rights to co-commercialize the candidate in Canada and has started a rolling submission there.\nThe share price: Ocugen stock soared 338% in the first half. That's after climbing more than 251% last year (with almost all of that gain coming after the Bharat partnership announcement).\nAre more share gains on the horizon? Ocugen remains high risk. Investors were betting on big revenue from a possible EUA in the U.S. Now, revenue possibilities seem lower and farther off. The stock may continue to climb in the second half if Canada moves quickly on an authorization. But in my opinion, over the long term, the shares are like a house of cards. If U.S. approval doesn't happen or takes too long, they may collapse.\nInovio Pharmaceuticals \nThe program: Earlier this year, the U.S. government dropped plans to fundInovio Pharmaceuticals' (NASDAQ:INO) phase 3 trial. The government cited the rapid launch of other vaccines into the marketplace. As a result, Inovio said it would conduct phase 3 primarily outside of the U.S. The company aims to launch the trial with Chinese partner Advaccine Biopharmaceuticals Suzhou this summer. Inovio also is working on a next-generation \"pan-COVID\" vaccine candidate. It plans to start clinical testing on the candidate this year.\nThe share price: Inovio added 4.8% in the first half. That's after climbing 168% last year.\nAre more share gains on the horizon? Inovio is another high-risk stock. Its initial candidate may have trouble carving out share in a market dominated by solid players. Most promising is the pan-COVID candidate. Especially considering the growth of variants. But we'll need clinical trial data to see if the potential product actually works. I would be surprised if Inovio beat the S&P 500 in the second half of this year. The pan-COVID candidate makes Inovio a stock to watch -- but from a distance.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":555,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":806383774,"gmtCreate":1627632677798,"gmtModify":1703493751099,"author":{"id":"3570938362108330","authorId":"3570938362108330","name":"KVCGTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2126be6bc046089345232547cb51d38a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570938362108330","authorIdStr":"3570938362108330"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"??","listText":"??","text":"??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/806383774","repostId":"2155366931","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2155366931","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627624543,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2155366931?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-30 13:55","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Singapore services, manufacturing firms stay optimistic on outlook, surveys show","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2155366931","media":"The Straits Times","summary":"SINGAPORE - The business expectations of Singapore firms in the manufacturing and services sectors r","content":"<div>\n<p>SINGAPORE - The business expectations of Singapore firms in the manufacturing and services sectors remained positive, although manufacturing firms were less upbeat than they were three months ago.\n...</p>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.straitstimes.com/business/economy/singapore-services-manufacturing-firms-stay-optimistic-on-outlook-surveys-show\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"straits_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

This compares with 38 per cent of firms in the previous quarter's poll.\nA weighted percentage refers to an aggregate of the responses of manufacturers based on their proportion of the manufacturing sector. The net weighted balance is the difference between the weighted percentages of positive and negative responses.\nThe electronics cluster was the most optimistic, with a net weighted balance of 40 per cent of firms having a positive business outlook.\nSentiment was largely driven by expectations of continued robust demand for semiconductors and other electronic modules and component segments from the 5G market, cloud services and data centres, said EDB.\nA net weighted balance of 21 per cent of firms in the transport engineering cluster anticipate a positive business environment from July to December.\nFirms in the aerospace segment expect business conditions to improve, in anticipation of the gradual resumption of regional and domestic flights as more countries step up their vaccination programmes.\nThe land segment also foresees stronger demand for automotive parts as the global automotive industry continues to recover.\nHowever, a net weighted balance of 24 per cent of firms in the chemicals cluster expect a less favourable business situation until December. Within the cluster, firms in the petrochemicals segment are concerned that product prices and margins will be adversely impacted amid new capacities in the region.\nOver in the services sector, a net weighted balance of 11 per cent of firms expect a more favourable business outlook, similar to the previous quarter's survey by SingStat.\nWithin the services sector, the wholesale trade, finance and insurance, transportation and storage, as well as information and communications, are among those that expect business conditions to improve in the next six months.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":392,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":801936720,"gmtCreate":1627478828560,"gmtModify":1703490727068,"author":{"id":"3570938362108330","authorId":"3570938362108330","name":"KVCGTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2126be6bc046089345232547cb51d38a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570938362108330","authorIdStr":"3570938362108330"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tech is the future.

The ugly reality is that the next stock market crash is inevitable -- the only real question is when that crash will happen.</p>\n<p>Fortunately, market crashes are nothing new. Their history provides a great guide on how to not just <i>survive </i>the next <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> but also thrive when it comes time to emerge from the other side of it. The key is to get prepared before the crash so that when it comes, you have the tools you need already available to you. These four ways can help you be ready in advance.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F635048%2Fgettyimages-482858718-stock-chart-pointing-down-with-sad-person.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"514\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images</span></p>\n<h2>No. 1: Raise the cash you need before the crash happens</h2>\n<p>With even top-rated savings accounts yielding well below inflation&nbsp;, it's <i>really hard</i> to hold a substantial amount of cash right now. Still, by making sure you have cash available before the next crash, you set yourself up to be much better situated after the crash happens.</p>\n<p>There are a couple of key reasons for this. First, stock market crashes and job losses often go hand in hand with each other. If you lose your job after the market crashes, having a cash reserve can go a long way toward keeping you from having to sell near market lows.</p>\n<p>Second, if you have cash available, buying stocks <i>after </i>they've crashed is a great way to make your money work harder for you. Selling one cheap stock after a crash to buy another doesn't make all that much sense, but raising cash when stocks are pricy to invest when they're cheap can be a much smarter wealth building strategy.</p>\n<p>The key trade-off, of course, is that money you have set aside in cash isn't earning much in the way of a return at the moment, especially when compared to inflation. A good rule of thumb is that you need at least a 3-6 month emergency fund in cash. In addition, having around 5 or so years' worth of expenses you need your portfolio to cover in a less volatile and higher certainty investment than stocks can help you ride out typical downturns.</p>\n<h2>No. 2: Know the value of what you own</h2>\n<p>Ultimately, a share of stock is nothing more than a fractional ownership stake in a business. A reasonable value can be estimated for most companies by using techniques like the discounted cash flow model to assess the current value of its expected future earnings stream. In a rapidly rising market, relying on valuations can seem old school, but when the market is crashing, valuation plays a much bigger role.</p>\n<p>A key reason is this: if you can buy a company for a reasonable or even cheap price based on its ability to generate cold hard cash, why would you sell just because the market is panicking? Indeed, a discounted cash flow analysis or other fundamentals-based valuation technique can help the savviest investors know why it's OK to buy more shares even as the market is collapsing.</p>\n<p>Beyond that, understanding what a company is really worth can help you prepare for a crash. If a stock you own has risen to the point where there is absolutely no financial justification for its market price, it might be a good candidate to sell to raise the cash you need.</p>\n<h2>No. 3: Have a shopping list of companies you want to buy</h2>\n<p>Even the best investors can feel overwhelmed as the market moves swiftly and strongly against them. That's where having a plan for what you'd like to buy -- and at what price -- can come in handy. With a list of great companies and a reasonable valuation estimate for each of them, a market crash can turn into an incredible buying opportunity to buy their stocks while they're on sale.</p>\n<p>Of course, you do need to keep in mind that the market often has a good reason for crashing in the first place. As a result, when the market offers you what looks like a great price to buy a company you're interested in owning, do take a moment to refresh your estimate of the company's value before buying. If the company's shares tanked because its business is failing, it's probably not worth owning. If its stock was unfairly discarded in a general market panic, however, it could be a great time to buy in big.</p>\n<h2>No. 4: Keep smartly diversified</h2>\n<p>Often, when the overall market crashes, it's because an entire industry finds itself in trouble. For instance, consider the dot.com implosion in 2000 or the financial crisis in 2008. If a big chunk of your money is chasing the next hot thing and that particular thing is what drives the next market crash, then you can be in a world of hurt. If the companies you own wind up out of business, then their shares -- and the money you have invested in them -- won't be participating in any rally that follows.</p>\n<p>When times are good, portfolio diversification may seem like a fairly meaningless exercise. After all, it can't help you earn better returns in a raging bull market. When the market is in a panic, however, there is incredible value in its ability to limit the impact that any one company or industry's failing will have on your overall net worth. After all, limiting the unrecoverable damage of a crash is key to being able to participate in any subsequent recovery.</p>\n<h2>You can make it through the next crash</h2>\n<p>Stock market crashes are inevitable.

The ugly reality is that the next stock market crash is inevitable -- the only real question is when that crash will happen.\nFortunately, market crashes are nothing new. Their history provides a great guide on how to not just survive the next one but also thrive when it comes time to emerge from the other side of it. The key is to get prepared before the crash so that when it comes, you have the tools you need already available to you. These four ways can help you be ready in advance.\nImage source: Getty Images\nNo. 1: Raise the cash you need before the crash happens\nWith even top-rated savings accounts yielding well below inflation , it's really hard to hold a substantial amount of cash right now. Still, by making sure you have cash available before the next crash, you set yourself up to be much better situated after the crash happens.\nThere are a couple of key reasons for this. First, stock market crashes and job losses often go hand in hand with each other. If you lose your job after the market crashes, having a cash reserve can go a long way toward keeping you from having to sell near market lows.\nSecond, if you have cash available, buying stocks after they've crashed is a great way to make your money work harder for you. Selling one cheap stock after a crash to buy another doesn't make all that much sense, but raising cash when stocks are pricy to invest when they're cheap can be a much smarter wealth building strategy.\nThe key trade-off, of course, is that money you have set aside in cash isn't earning much in the way of a return at the moment, especially when compared to inflation. A good rule of thumb is that you need at least a 3-6 month emergency fund in cash. In addition, having around 5 or so years' worth of expenses you need your portfolio to cover in a less volatile and higher certainty investment than stocks can help you ride out typical downturns.\nNo. 2: Know the value of what you own\nUltimately, a share of stock is nothing more than a fractional ownership stake in a business. A reasonable value can be estimated for most companies by using techniques like the discounted cash flow model to assess the current value of its expected future earnings stream. In a rapidly rising market, relying on valuations can seem old school, but when the market is crashing, valuation plays a much bigger role.\nA key reason is this: if you can buy a company for a reasonable or even cheap price based on its ability to generate cold hard cash, why would you sell just because the market is panicking? Indeed, a discounted cash flow analysis or other fundamentals-based valuation technique can help the savviest investors know why it's OK to buy more shares even as the market is collapsing.\nBeyond that, understanding what a company is really worth can help you prepare for a crash. If a stock you own has risen to the point where there is absolutely no financial justification for its market price, it might be a good candidate to sell to raise the cash you need.\nNo. 3: Have a shopping list of companies you want to buy\nEven the best investors can feel overwhelmed as the market moves swiftly and strongly against them. That's where having a plan for what you'd like to buy -- and at what price -- can come in handy. With a list of great companies and a reasonable valuation estimate for each of them, a market crash can turn into an incredible buying opportunity to buy their stocks while they're on sale.\nOf course, you do need to keep in mind that the market often has a good reason for crashing in the first place. As a result, when the market offers you what looks like a great price to buy a company you're interested in owning, do take a moment to refresh your estimate of the company's value before buying. If the company's shares tanked because its business is failing, it's probably not worth owning. If its stock was unfairly discarded in a general market panic, however, it could be a great time to buy in big.\nNo. 4: Keep smartly diversified\nOften, when the overall market crashes, it's because an entire industry finds itself in trouble. For instance, consider the dot.com implosion in 2000 or the financial crisis in 2008. If a big chunk of your money is chasing the next hot thing and that particular thing is what drives the next market crash, then you can be in a world of hurt. If the companies you own wind up out of business, then their shares -- and the money you have invested in them -- won't be participating in any rally that follows.\nWhen times are good, portfolio diversification may seem like a fairly meaningless exercise. After all, it can't help you earn better returns in a raging bull market. When the market is in a panic, however, there is incredible value in its ability to limit the impact that any one company or industry's failing will have on your overall net worth. After all, limiting the unrecoverable damage of a crash is key to being able to participate in any subsequent recovery.\nYou can make it through the next crash\nStock market crashes are inevitable. There's not much you can do to avoid them aside from not investing at all, and that can be incredibly hazardous to your long term net worth. With these four approaches, you can improve your odds of making it through the next crash intact and potentially even emerging in a better position once it ends.\nThe key thing to note about these techniques, though, is that they work better if you get them in place before the next crash happens. So if you're really worried about a market crash, then there's no better than when the market is near an all-time high to get your plans in place.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":248,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":177202598,"gmtCreate":1627218690814,"gmtModify":1703485678688,"author":{"id":"3570938362108330","authorId":"3570938362108330","name":"KVCGTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2126be6bc046089345232547cb51d38a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570938362108330","authorIdStr":"3570938362108330"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nvidia?

Micron caters to the personal computer (PC), cloud server, enterprise, graphics, and networking markets through this segment. There is great demand for memory chips in all these markets, which is leading to tight supplies and higher prices.</p>\n<p>Memory market research firm TrendForce estimates that the price of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) could increase between 3% and 8% in the third quarter of the calendar year over Q2. The price increase is a result of strong server and PC DRAM demand and constrained supply.</p>\n<p>Similarly, the demand for NAND flash has also remained high due to the increased adoption of SSDs (solid-state drives) in both consumer PCs and enterprise hardware. A tight supply means that the price of NAND flash memory is expected to increase between 5% and 10% this quarter, which bodes well for Micron's storage business unit (SBU). The segment produced 13% of Micron's top line last quarter, and its revenue was flat year over year at $1 billion -- but it could improve given the end-market dynamics.</p>\n<p>The mobile business unit, meanwhile, has hit a purple patch. Its revenue increased 31% year over year in Q3 thanks to the ramp-up in 5G smartphone demand. With 5G smartphones expected to increase at a whopping pace in the next five years, Micron's mobile business has room to run higher.</p>\n<p>The robust memory demand isn't going to go away anytime soon. According to a third-party forecast, memory chip demand is expected to increase 31.7% in 2021, followed by a double-digit increase in 2022, which explains why analysts expect&nbsp;Micron's growth to pick up the pace next fiscal year.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/11c5f766491fbfe99b0a6f8d1f0d45f6\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"483\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>MU Revenue Estimates for Current Fiscal Year data by YCharts</span></p>\n<h2>The case for Nvidia</h2>\n<p>Nvidia's stock market returns in 2021 have been driven by the company's outstanding results. The graphics specialist is growing at a much faster pace than Micron, with its fiscal first-quarter revenue jumping 84% year over year to $5.66 billion. Tremendous demand for Nvidia's graphics cards, which are used in PCs, sent its video gaming revenue soaring. The segment's revenue doubled year over year and accounted for close to half of its top line.</p>\n<p>There are two reasons why the video gaming segment is set for terrific growth in the long haul. First, Nvidia dominates this market with a market share of 81%, according to Jon Peddie Research. It is also worth noting that the chipmaker has substantially increased its presence in the gaming laptop market.</p>\n<p>The company's dominant position in the gaming graphics card market brings us to the second reason why this segment is built for growth. Jon Peddie Research estimates that gaming graphics cards could generate $54 billion in revenue by 2025, which would be a big jump over last year's sales of $23.6 billion. Nvidia sold&nbsp;$7.76 billion worth of graphics cards in fiscal 2021, so the additional revenue opportunity on offer and the company's huge market share indicates that this business still has a lot of room for growth.</p>\n<p>There's a similar story to Nvidia's data center business, which is its second-largest source of revenue. The segment's revenue shot up 79% year over year in Q1, crossing $2 billion in quarterly sales for the first&nbsp;time. With the data center accelerator market expected to clock $53 billion in annual revenue by the end of 2027, according to a third-party estimate, the segment's growth streak seems sustainable.</p>\n<p>Nvidia is doing well in the market for data center graphics processing units (GPUs), with large cloud service providers preferring to use the company's chips to accelerate workloads. The data center GPU market alone is expected to generate $20 billion in revenue by 2027. Nvidia sold almost $6.7 billion worth of data center GPUs last fiscal year, and the massive revenue opportunity points toward more upside in this business.</p>\n<p>Throw in the fact that Nvidia is now moving to tap the other fast-growing niches of the data center accelerator market, such as server central processing units (CPUs) and data processing units (DPUs), and it becomes easier to see why this segment probably won't run out of steam. Such solid growth drivers make it clear why Nvidia's earnings are expected to jump substantially in the future at an annual pace of nearly 27%.</p>\n<h2>The verdict</h2>\n<p>It is evident that both Nvidia and Micron Technology have impressive catalysts that could help them sustain their impressive pace of growth. Value-oriented investors, however, may lean toward buying Micron stock, as it trades at just 20 times trailing earnings, compared to Nvidia's multiple of nearly 91.</p>\n<p>But then, Nvidia is growing at a much faster rate than Micron, as we saw above, which is why its premium seems justified. Additionally, Nvidia dominates its space, while Micron faces competition from the likes of <b>SK Hynix</b> and <b>Samsung</b>. Micron reportedly controls 23.5% of the DRAM market, which makes it a smaller player than the other two, while it stands in fourth position in the NAND market, with a share of just&nbsp;11.2%.</p>\n<p>That's why investors with a higher risk tolerance might want to consider buying Nvidia stock to benefit from the tech giant's supremacy in graphics cards, as it seems capable of outperforming Micron in the future like it has done so far this year.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Better Buy: Nvidia vs. Micron Technology</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\">\nBetter Buy: Nvidia vs. Micron Technology\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-25 09:37 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/24/better-buy-nvidia-vs-micron-technology/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Chipmakers Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) have had very different experiences on the stock market so far in 2021, even though both companies have been delivering stellar ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/24/better-buy-nvidia-vs-micron-technology/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"MU":"美光科技","NVDA":"英伟达"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/24/better-buy-nvidia-vs-micron-technology/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2153350439","content_text":"Chipmakers Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) have had very different experiences on the stock market so far in 2021, even though both companies have been delivering stellar results quarter after quarter.

First, Nvidia dominates this market with a market share of 81%, according to Jon Peddie Research. It is also worth noting that the chipmaker has substantially increased its presence in the gaming laptop market.\nThe company's dominant position in the gaming graphics card market brings us to the second reason why this segment is built for growth. Jon Peddie Research estimates that gaming graphics cards could generate $54 billion in revenue by 2025, which would be a big jump over last year's sales of $23.6 billion. Nvidia sold $7.76 billion worth of graphics cards in fiscal 2021, so the additional revenue opportunity on offer and the company's huge market share indicates that this business still has a lot of room for growth.\nThere's a similar story to Nvidia's data center business, which is its second-largest source of revenue. The segment's revenue shot up 79% year over year in Q1, crossing $2 billion in quarterly sales for the first time. With the data center accelerator market expected to clock $53 billion in annual revenue by the end of 2027, according to a third-party estimate, the segment's growth streak seems sustainable.\nNvidia is doing well in the market for data center graphics processing units (GPUs), with large cloud service providers preferring to use the company's chips to accelerate workloads. The data center GPU market alone is expected to generate $20 billion in revenue by 2027. Nvidia sold almost $6.7 billion worth of data center GPUs last fiscal year, and the massive revenue opportunity points toward more upside in this business.\nThrow in the fact that Nvidia is now moving to tap the other fast-growing niches of the data center accelerator market, such as server central processing units (CPUs) and data processing units (DPUs), and it becomes easier to see why this segment probably won't run out of steam. Such solid growth drivers make it clear why Nvidia's earnings are expected to jump substantially in the future at an annual pace of nearly 27%.\nThe verdict\nIt is evident that both Nvidia and Micron Technology have impressive catalysts that could help them sustain their impressive pace of growth. Value-oriented investors, however, may lean toward buying Micron stock, as it trades at just 20 times trailing earnings, compared to Nvidia's multiple of nearly 91.\nBut then, Nvidia is growing at a much faster rate than Micron, as we saw above, which is why its premium seems justified. Additionally, Nvidia dominates its space, while Micron faces competition from the likes of SK Hynix and Samsung. Micron reportedly controls 23.5% of the DRAM market, which makes it a smaller player than the other two, while it stands in fourth position in the NAND market, with a share of just 11.2%.\nThat's why investors with a higher risk tolerance might want to consider buying Nvidia stock to benefit from the tech giant's supremacy in graphics cards, as it seems capable of outperforming Micron in the future like it has done so far this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":283,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":175453606,"gmtCreate":1627047591705,"gmtModify":1703483226788,"author":{"id":"3570938362108330","authorId":"3570938362108330","name":"KVCGTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2126be6bc046089345232547cb51d38a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570938362108330","authorIdStr":"3570938362108330"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Shall we go in? &nbsp;Like??

Share prices of the chipmaker fell substantially after its Q2 earnings report nearly three months ago, but they have regained their mojo since then.</p>\n<p>Thanks to the recent surge, Skyworks stock price finished the first half of 2021 with respectable gains of 26%. The company will release its fiscal third-quarter results on July&nbsp;29, which could act as a catalyst for the stock and send it even higher in the second half of the year and beyond. Let's see what's expected of Skyworks and why it may be a good idea to buy the stock before its upcoming earnings report.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dab7e954283ee07bd99cb9210cdf6a91\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<h2>Skyworks Solutions' stellar growth should continue in Q3</h2>\n<p>Skyworks Solutions' revenue shot up 61% year over year in the first six months of fiscal 2021 to $2.68 billion, while non-GAAP net income increased 84% over the prior-year period to $955.7 million. For the third quarter, the chipmaker expects year-over-year revenue growth of 49% to $1.1 billion at the midpoint of its guidance range. Adjusted earnings are forecast to jump 70% year over year to $2.13 per share.</p>\n<p>Skyworks' impressive Q3 guidance was based on the robust demand trends in mobile and the broader wireless connectivity market. The mobile business, which made up two-thirds of Skyworks' Q2 revenue, has been supercharged by the arrival of 5G smartphones. The chipmaker's relationship with <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL) has played a key role in this regard, as the iPhone maker accounted for 56%&nbsp;of Skyworks' total revenue in fiscal 2020.</p>\n<p>Skyworks is a key supplier of wireless components&nbsp;for the iPhone 12. Each unit of the device reportedly contains as many as eight chips from Skyworks, according to a teardown of the phone. Not surprisingly, the success of Apple's latest 5G smartphones has rubbed off on the chipmaker.</p>\n<p>Apple's iPhone 12 builds in the June quarter, which coincides with Skyworks' fiscal Q3, are expected to increase 26% over the prior-year period to 44 million units, according to Cowen. It is worth noting that Cowen's estimate of 57 million iPhone units shipping in the first quarter of 2021 was pretty accurate. Although Apple has stopped officially reporting the total, outsider estimates suggest the estimate was spot on.</p>\n<p>Volume growth at Skyworks' largest customer should ensure that it meets the ambitious revenue and earnings growth targets for Q3, especially considering that 5G devices are carrying more wireless content than their 4G predecessors.</p>\n<p>Additionally, Skyworks' broad markets portfolio, which relies on the Internet of Things (IoT) market for growth, has secured design wins across various verticals. Broad markets revenue had shot up 67% year over year in Q2 to $385 million as demand for wireless connectivity beyond smartphones increased.</p>\n<p>So Skyworks is sitting on two impressive growth drivers that could ensure the continuation of its momentum. The good news is that its catalysts could get better in the second half of the year and beyond.</p>\n<h2>Better times lie ahead as 5G gains momentum</h2>\n<p>End-market developments indicate that Skyworks' guidance could be much better than Wall Street estimates. Analysts expect&nbsp;the chipmaker's revenue to increase 27.6% year over year to $1.22 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter. But explosive smartphone demand for Apple's iPhone could help Skyworks easily clear those expectations.</p>\n<p>According to supply chain estimates, Apple is expected to increase&nbsp;the initial production of this year's rumored iPhone 13 models to 90 million units, up from the iPhone 12's 75 million units. With the launch of this year's iPhones just a couple of months&nbsp;away, production is reportedly in full swing, and probably ahead of schedule (as supply chain gossip suggests).</p>\n<p>Even better, Apple seems set for multiyear growth in the 5G era, as more than 80% of its installed base is running non-5G iPhones. All told, the bright prospects of Skyworks' biggest customer bode well for the chipmaker both in the short and in the long run.</p>\n<p>More importantly, Skyworks' 5G opportunity isn't restricted to just Apple. It counts&nbsp;the likes of Samsung, Oppo, Vivo, and <b>Xiaomi</b> as customers, which means that the top five 5G smartphone vendors (including Apple) use Skyworks' chips in their devices. This is great news for Skyworks investors, as the global 5G smartphone market is anticipated to clock 124% annual growth through 2025, according to third-party estimates.

Share prices of the chipmaker fell substantially after its Q2 earnings report nearly three months ago, but they have regained their mojo since then.\nThanks to the recent surge, Skyworks stock price finished the first half of 2021 with respectable gains of 26%. The company will release its fiscal third-quarter results on July 29, which could act as a catalyst for the stock and send it even higher in the second half of the year and beyond. Let's see what's expected of Skyworks and why it may be a good idea to buy the stock before its upcoming earnings report.\n\nSkyworks Solutions' stellar growth should continue in Q3\nSkyworks Solutions' revenue shot up 61% year over year in the first six months of fiscal 2021 to $2.68 billion, while non-GAAP net income increased 84% over the prior-year period to $955.7 million. For the third quarter, the chipmaker expects year-over-year revenue growth of 49% to $1.1 billion at the midpoint of its guidance range. Adjusted earnings are forecast to jump 70% year over year to $2.13 per share.\nSkyworks' impressive Q3 guidance was based on the robust demand trends in mobile and the broader wireless connectivity market. The mobile business, which made up two-thirds of Skyworks' Q2 revenue, has been supercharged by the arrival of 5G smartphones. The chipmaker's relationship with Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has played a key role in this regard, as the iPhone maker accounted for 56% of Skyworks' total revenue in fiscal 2020.\nSkyworks is a key supplier of wireless components for the iPhone 12. Each unit of the device reportedly contains as many as eight chips from Skyworks, according to a teardown of the phone. Not surprisingly, the success of Apple's latest 5G smartphones has rubbed off on the chipmaker.\nApple's iPhone 12 builds in the June quarter, which coincides with Skyworks' fiscal Q3, are expected to increase 26% over the prior-year period to 44 million units, according to Cowen. It is worth noting that Cowen's estimate of 57 million iPhone units shipping in the first quarter of 2021 was pretty accurate. Although Apple has stopped officially reporting the total, outsider estimates suggest the estimate was spot on.\nVolume growth at Skyworks' largest customer should ensure that it meets the ambitious revenue and earnings growth targets for Q3, especially considering that 5G devices are carrying more wireless content than their 4G predecessors.\nAdditionally, Skyworks' broad markets portfolio, which relies on the Internet of Things (IoT) market for growth, has secured design wins across various verticals. Broad markets revenue had shot up 67% year over year in Q2 to $385 million as demand for wireless connectivity beyond smartphones increased.\nSo Skyworks is sitting on two impressive growth drivers that could ensure the continuation of its momentum. The good news is that its catalysts could get better in the second half of the year and beyond.\nBetter times lie ahead as 5G gains momentum\nEnd-market developments indicate that Skyworks' guidance could be much better than Wall Street estimates. Analysts expect the chipmaker's revenue to increase 27.6% year over year to $1.22 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter. But explosive smartphone demand for Apple's iPhone could help Skyworks easily clear those expectations.\nAccording to supply chain estimates, Apple is expected to increase the initial production of this year's rumored iPhone 13 models to 90 million units, up from the iPhone 12's 75 million units. With the launch of this year's iPhones just a couple of months away, production is reportedly in full swing, and probably ahead of schedule (as supply chain gossip suggests).\nEven better, Apple seems set for multiyear growth in the 5G era, as more than 80% of its installed base is running non-5G iPhones. All told, the bright prospects of Skyworks' biggest customer bode well for the chipmaker both in the short and in the long run.\nMore importantly, Skyworks' 5G opportunity isn't restricted to just Apple. It counts the likes of Samsung, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi as customers, which means that the top five 5G smartphone vendors (including Apple) use Skyworks' chips in their devices. This is great news for Skyworks investors, as the global 5G smartphone market is anticipated to clock 124% annual growth through 2025, according to third-party estimates. The market's secular growth should pave the way for tremendous growth in the company's mobile business.\nGiven these tailwinds, it is not surprising to see analysts expecting Skyworks' earnings to grow at an annual rate of nearly 17% for the next five years, up from the single-digit growth it has recorded in the past five. Additionally, the stock is trading at just 26 times trailing earnings versus the Nasdaq 100's price-to-earnings ratio of 38.25 (of which Skyworks is a part).\nSo investors looking to add a 5G stock to their portfolios should keep Skyworks Solutions within their sights because it offers a mix of value and growth. But it may not be available for cheap for long, as a strong earnings report could send the stock higher.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":276,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":179250410,"gmtCreate":1626537294930,"gmtModify":1703761564924,"author":{"id":"3570938362108330","authorId":"3570938362108330","name":"KVCGTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2126be6bc046089345232547cb51d38a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570938362108330","authorIdStr":"3570938362108330"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like??","listText":"Like??","text":"Like??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/179250410","repostId":"2152689084","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2152689084","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1626516000,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2152689084?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-17 18:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Disney Might Have Solved 2 Problems With 1 Move","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2152689084","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The entertainment giant is testing a new feature at one of its theme parks.","content":"<p><b>Walt Disney</b> (NYSE:DIS) has been welcoming more and more guests back to its theme parks after the coronavirus pandemic forced the company to temporarily shut the doors to visitors at various points over the past 18 months.

In addition, by being one of the most technologically advanced electric vehicle companies in China, XPeng also has all the chances to become one of the first automakers to reach Level 5 automation in the following years. Considering this, we continue to believe that XPeng is a solid growth play and if you're a momentum investor, then now is a good time to purchase its shares.</p>\n<p><b>Firing On All Cylinders</b></p>\n<p>XPeng is one of the biggest EV manufacturers in China. Currently, it produces an SUV that goes under the name G3 and a sedan that's called P7. In addition, the company plans to release an upgraded version of its SUV called G3i in September and a new family-friendly sedan P5 by the end of the year. Overall, XPeng's stock showed decent results in recent months, as it has outperformed the S&amp;P 500 Index for most of the last year, and is currently up ~5% since our latest&nbsp;article&nbsp;about its business was published in June.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/51f7c530182ce2c7abde426fcff7f474\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"443\"><span>Chart: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>One of the biggest achievements of XPeng is that it has managed to successfully navigate through the initial stages of the chip shortage crisis and made a lot of progress on improving its deliveries. The latestdatasuggests that there's still a strong demand for its offerings among tech-savvy Chinese consumers, as in June alone the company delivered a record 6,565 vehicles, an increase of 617% Y/Y. In addition, its Q2 deliveries were 17,398, up 439% Y/Y, while its 1H deliveries were 30,738 vehicles, up 459% Y/Y. Another good news is that the company's Q2 deliveries beat its projections of 15,500 - 16,000 units despite the pandemic and there's every reason to believe that the momentum is very likely to hold until the end of the year at the very least.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0479a72617e0ff9759beb7f820fc0494\" tg-width=\"925\" tg-height=\"445\"><span>Source:InsideEVs</span></p>\n<p>The biggest advantage of XPeng is that it operates in China, which is considered to be the biggest EV market in the world. Thanks to it, XPeng doesn't need to outsource its manufacturing or sales to other countries as it has a huge local market to sell to back at home. What's more important is that it also has strong governmental support, as some of its manufacturing facilities that are currently being built were co-financed by Chinese local governments. By receiving such help, XPeng is now on track to complete its third manufacturing facility in Wuhan, which will help it to reach an annual capacity of at least 300,000 vehicles. For comparison, Tesla (TSLA) in 2020 sold only 137,000 Model 3s in China. Therefore, an increase of the capacity to such substantial numbers signals that XPeng is ready to tackle the competition and increase its traction across the mainland going forward.</p>\n<p>Another important fact is that XPeng is more technologically advanced in China than Tesla and others. Almost half of its R&amp;D workforce works on autonomous driving software, and as a result, the company has managed to develop one of the most advanced navigation systems, which should help it to become one of the first to reach Level 5 automation in the following years. On top of that, over 5 million kilometers were alreadydrivenwith the help of the navigation system since its launch earlier this year, and the latest version of the software can now automaticallyparkthe car in garages without human help if it remembers the spot in which the vehicle was parked before.</p>\n<p><b>Risks</b></p>\n<p>As for the risks, we see a couple of them. First of all, XPengtradesat a price-to-sales ratio of ~16x and could be considered richly valued at its current market cap of around $37 billion. For that reason, it's not a good investment for long-term value shareholders, and for those who don't want to expose their portfolios to Chinese assets.</p>\n<p>In addition, there's a risk that the start of the potential China-US trade war could prevent XPeng from accessing the US capital markets, as its current shares could be delisted. To tackle this issue, the company just recentlyraisednearly $2 billion by executing another IPO on the Hong Kong stock exchange with a double main listing structure. This will help the company not only to have an access to the major capital market, but it will also give the Chinese mainland investors the ability to buy the stock through the Hong Kong Stock Connect, which should boost XPeng's valuation in the near future. On top of that, since XPeng's business doesn't have major exposure to outside markets, the blowback from the potential trade war will be minimal.</p>\n<p><b>Takeaway</b></p>\n<p>Despite those risks, we should not forget that China is on track to significantly decrease its carbon footprint in the next four decades. Therefore, it's safe to assume that the penetration rate of electric vehicles on Chinese roads is only going to increase in the following decades. As a result, we believe that there's plenty of room for XPeng to drive growth at this stage, and considering its great performance in Q2, we also believe that it has all the chances to become one of the biggest EV manufacturers in the region.</p>\n<p>The latest forecast suggests that XPeng could increase its revenues by 364% from $0.9 million in FY20 to $4.18 billion in FY22, while its EPS loss is also expected todecreasefrom -$0.33 in Q2'21 to only -$0.06 in Q3 and Q4. On top of that, the companyhad$5.12 billion in cash at the end of Q1, only $497 million in long-term debt, and thanks to the recent Honk Kong offering its liquidity position is already around $7 billion. As a result, XPeng doesn't have an overleveraged balance sheet, and thanks to the influx of new cash it's very unlikely that it'll be required to raise new debt or dilute its shareholders by offering new shares to fund its expansion. Therefore, we believe that its stock could be considered a growth play, especially since it has beenaddedto FTSE's indexes recently, which should help it to attract more attention from institutional investors.</p>\n<p>With all of this in mind, we also think that right now is a good entry point to purchase the company's shares, as the likely increase in deliveries and capacity along with the launch of the upcoming P5 sedan in the following months could push its stock to higher levels. For that reason, we have no plans to cover our long position in XPeng anytime soon.</p>","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>XPeng: Leader Of Chinese Vehicle Electrification Efforts</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\">\nXPeng: Leader Of Chinese Vehicle Electrification Efforts\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-11 09:42 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4438413-xpeng-leader-of-chinese-vehicle-electrification-efforts><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nThe aggressive growth of deliveries should help XPeng to continue to improve its top-line performance and expand its foothold in the Chinese EV market in the following quarters.\nBy being one ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4438413-xpeng-leader-of-chinese-vehicle-electrification-efforts\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"XPEV":"小鹏汽车","09868":"小鹏汽车-W"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4438413-xpeng-leader-of-chinese-vehicle-electrification-efforts","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1184476863","content_text":"Summary\n\nThe aggressive growth of deliveries should help XPeng to continue to improve its top-line performance and expand its foothold in the Chinese EV market in the following quarters.\nBy being one of the most technologically advanced electric vehicle companies in China, XPeng has all the chances to become one of the first automakers to reach Level 5 automation.\nWe continue to believe that XPeng is a solid growth play and if you’re a momentum investor, then now is a good time to purchase its shares.\n\nRobert Way/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nThe aggressive growth of deliveries should help XPeng (XPEV) to continue to improve its top-line performance and expand its foothold in the Chinese EV market in the following quarters. In addition, by being one of the most technologically advanced electric vehicle companies in China, XPeng also has all the chances to become one of the first automakers to reach Level 5 automation in the following years. Considering this, we continue to believe that XPeng is a solid growth play and if you're a momentum investor, then now is a good time to purchase its shares.\nFiring On All Cylinders\nXPeng is one of the biggest EV manufacturers in China. Currently, it produces an SUV that goes under the name G3 and a sedan that's called P7. In addition, the company plans to release an upgraded version of its SUV called G3i in September and a new family-friendly sedan P5 by the end of the year. Overall, XPeng's stock showed decent results in recent months, as it has outperformed the S&P 500 Index for most of the last year, and is currently up ~5% since our latest article about its business was published in June.\nChart: Seeking Alpha\nOne of the biggest achievements of XPeng is that it has managed to successfully navigate through the initial stages of the chip shortage crisis and made a lot of progress on improving its deliveries. The latestdatasuggests that there's still a strong demand for its offerings among tech-savvy Chinese consumers, as in June alone the company delivered a record 6,565 vehicles, an increase of 617% Y/Y. In addition, its Q2 deliveries were 17,398, up 439% Y/Y, while its 1H deliveries were 30,738 vehicles, up 459% Y/Y. Another good news is that the company's Q2 deliveries beat its projections of 15,500 - 16,000 units despite the pandemic and there's every reason to believe that the momentum is very likely to hold until the end of the year at the very least.\nSource:InsideEVs\nThe biggest advantage of XPeng is that it operates in China, which is considered to be the biggest EV market in the world. Thanks to it, XPeng doesn't need to outsource its manufacturing or sales to other countries as it has a huge local market to sell to back at home. What's more important is that it also has strong governmental support, as some of its manufacturing facilities that are currently being built were co-financed by Chinese local governments. By receiving such help, XPeng is now on track to complete its third manufacturing facility in Wuhan, which will help it to reach an annual capacity of at least 300,000 vehicles. For comparison, Tesla (TSLA) in 2020 sold only 137,000 Model 3s in China. Therefore, an increase of the capacity to such substantial numbers signals that XPeng is ready to tackle the competition and increase its traction across the mainland going forward.\nAnother important fact is that XPeng is more technologically advanced in China than Tesla and others.

For that reason, it's not a good investment for long-term value shareholders, and for those who don't want to expose their portfolios to Chinese assets.\nIn addition, there's a risk that the start of the potential China-US trade war could prevent XPeng from accessing the US capital markets, as its current shares could be delisted.

However, the firm stumbled with its 10-nanometer process, and recently announced its 7-nm process will be delayed until 2023.</p>\n<p>This left the door open to Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), and that firm has taken full advantage of the opportunity. AMD has taken a large share of the CPU market and is making inroads into the once nearly impenetrable server market.</p>\n<p>AMD now has seven consecutive quarters of double-digit revenue growth under its belt, and it appears the firm is gaining momentum: management now guides for 60% revenue growth for the full year, up from the 50% forecast provided in the previous quarter.</p>\n<p>However, AMD also competes with NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA), and the latter company’s GPU technology is stealing market share. NVDA has also been successful in gaining access to adjacent markets with its GPUs, especially AI and automotive markets.</p>\n<p><b>The Ins And Outs of Intel</b></p>\n<p>An understanding of Intel also provides insights into AMD. This is due to the overlap between the two companies, particularly in regards to x86 chips. Intel developed the x86 chip in 1978. To satisfy demands by IBM that Intel would not be the sole supplier of the chips, INTC provided x86 instruction set architecture licensing to AMD.</p>\n<p>Consequently, Intel and AMD have a duopoly position in the PC and server markets, as nearly all computer software is written for x86 architecture. The result is that both have a wide moat related to the x86 ecosystem.</p>\n<p>Gaming consoles in particular are based on x86 architecture due to those platforms generally providing more powerful CPUs and GPUs with multiple compute cores. Like PCs, consoles operate with games that use x86 based software. Once again, this stifles potential competition from ARM-based devices.</p>\n<p>Until fairly recently, AMD was a distant second to INTC as a supplier of x86 chips. However, AMD teamed with Taiwan Semiconductor(NYSE:TSM)to use that manufacturer’s 7nm process to surpass INTC in process technology. Combined with AMD’s developing new innovative chip designs, this one-two punch resulted in INTC losing significant market share.</p>\n<p>At the end of Q1, AMD held 19.30% of the x86 desktop&nbsp;market, a 70 basis point gain year-over-year. In Q2 AMD corralled 8% of the server market, up from a 5%&nbsp;market&nbsp;share in Q4 of 2019.</p>\n<p>Despite these setbacks, it seems premature to view Intel as a moribund business. INTC is one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world. The firm dominates the server market, and still holds 60% of the global x86 CPU&nbsp;market.</p>\n<p>The company has an enormous R&amp;D budget, and it is expanding into new markets, primarily Artificial Intelligence, Field-Programmable Gate Array chips, and automotive offerings, through its acquisitions of Habana Labs, Altera, Movidius, and Mobileye.</p>\n<p>Investors should not be swayed by the claim that Intel’s new 10nm chips are inferior to 7nm solely on the basis that 7 is superior to 10. While once used to denote the technology level of a chip design, it has been misused to the point of being useless.</p>\n<p>However, there are a number of concerns that must be acknowledged. Intel lags competitors in the smartphone market. As consumers shift to mobile devices, this could result in a sustained headwind as smartphones take the place of PCs. On the other hand, it should be acknowledged that INTC’s server processor business has seen growth associated with the surge in mobile devices and cloud computing.</p>\n<p>Intel also faces increased competition from AMD in the data center space, as well as customers developing their own ARM-based chips for CPUs.</p>\n<p><b>An Overview of AMD</b></p>\n<p>In years past, INTC held the lion’s share of the x86 market. This was due in part to Intel’s leading-edge manufacturing combined with AMD’s wafer supply agreements with less than stellar GlobalFoundries.</p>\n<p>However, a seismic shift occurred due to three factors: driven by innovative designs, AMD brought competitive products to market, AMD shifted to TSMC for production, and Intel faced repeated manufacturing delays. The two charts below document the progress the company has made.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/903df41d5400c9807ff487a75a7e5450\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"989\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:Q2 Earnings Presentation</span></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/331cd14b666f520a62d0746d5fadfa5b\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"989\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:Q2 Earnings Presentation</span></p>\n<p>Like Intel, AMD’s primary products are CPUs and GPUs. AMD’s chips are designed for PCs, game consoles, servers, and blockchain applications. And like INTC, AMD’s offerings are largely protected from competition due to the preponderance of software for PCs and servers being designed for x86 architecture.</p>\n<p>AMD’s strong growth has largely come at the expense of Intel as AMD has steadily chipped away at the former company’s CPU market share.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e7f8fbcab5da8a24d01d2b6408bd5686\" tg-width=\"576\" tg-height=\"336\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>AMD’s focus on CPU and GPU semi-custom processor applications has resulted in their use in Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation game consoles.</p>\n<p>In regards to PC integrated GPUs, AMD is roughly in parity with NVIDIA while INTC dominates with roughly 68% of the market.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/67a0fe74d986cf882623a8f39587d0d8\" tg-width=\"544\" tg-height=\"394\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:tom'sHARDWARE</span></p>\n<p>However, NVIDIA dominates the discrete GPU space with an 80% plus market share with AMD sweeping up what is left. NVIDIA’s discrete GPUs are arguably superior to AMD’s (more on that later); therefore, investors should not look for growth here.</p>\n<p>Although AMD’s EPYC server CPU products were competitive with that of rivals, initially the company relied on aggressive pricing to promote its first generation of EPYC offerings. However, the EPYC line has gained wider acceptance, and with the Milan processors, the company is gaining market share. As server CPUs provide a better profit margin than the company’s other products, expansion into that space should aid in driving revenue.</p>\n<p>Late last year,AMD entered intoa deal&nbsp;to acquire&nbsp;Xilinx (XLNX), a leader in field programmable gate array (FPGA) chips. FPGAs can be used for a wide variety of applications. Because shifting to a competing FPGA provider requires retraining of engineers in software and design tools, customers are loath to make a switch to a competing vendor. Consequently, if the Xilinx deal goes through, AMD will have acquired a wide moat business. Management guides for operational efficiencies of approximately $300 million within 18 months of closing the transaction.</p>\n<p>The Xilinx acquisition should bolster AMD’s data center and artificial intelligence businesses.</p>\n<p>AMD agreed to acquire Xilinx for $35 billion in an all-stock transaction.</p>\n<p><b>A Survey of NVIDIA</b></p>\n<p>NVDA's focus on the graphics processing units market has led the company to a dominant position in the discrete GPU space. The firm is the leader in discrete GPUs for computing platforms, especially gaming consoles. The fact that Intel licensed intellectual property from NVIDIA to integrate GPUs into its PC chipset testifies to the lead the company maintains.</p>\n<p>The chart below provides a record of the burgeoning ASP the company has been able to command over the last half decade, beginning with the Pascal architecture in 2016, and progressing through Turing to Ampere.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/04fb1d71f9df02f6c63907fe784b2fd8\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"720\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:AMD Investor Presentation</span></p>\n<p>The firm’s chips are also found in many high-end PCs, and NVDA has particular strength in the incipient AI and self-driving vehicle markets.</p>\n<p>GPUs are being teamed with CPUs to&nbsp;enhance&nbsp;computation workloads. This stratagem is designed to bolster the ability of AI systems to perform computationally intensive tasks. AI related to&nbsp;autonomous&nbsp;vehicles is a developing strength for NVIDIA. Another arena in which the firm is making its mark is in cloud</p>\n<p>AI and data centers pose the most likely avenue of growth for NVDA. To strengthen its position in both businesses, the company moved last year to acquire ARM Holdings (ARMHF) from parent company Softbank for $40 billion.</p>\n<p>ARM is the globe’s largest licensor of chip designs. Its chips are ubiquitous and can be found in mobile phones, smart TVs, and tablet computers. 160 billion chips have been made using ARM designs.</p>\n<p>Perhaps of equal importance is that 13 million developers work with ARM devices.

It is also interesting to note that in the current P/E and the forward price/cash flow estimates show AMD as valued near the sector median.</p>\n<p>Count me as an investor that places great emphasis on a stocks PEG Ratio. Viewing the second chart, AMD has the best PEG of the three companies. I also note that analysts from each source calculated AMD’s PEG ratio as better than the sector median.</p>\n<p>Do not misinterpret my findings. While INTC has a lower valuation in many respects, when considering other factors, I rate AMD higher overall. In other words, it is not the cheapest valuation but the best valuation, for lack of a better means to articulate my view.</p>\n<p><b>=Advantage AMD</b></p>\n<p><b>Analysts’ Price Targets</b></p>\n<p>NVIDIA shares currently trade for $202.95.

However, the firm stumbled with its 10-nanometer process, and recently announced its 7-nm process will be delayed until 2023.\nThis left the door open to Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), and that firm has taken full advantage of the opportunity. AMD has taken a large share of the CPU market and is making inroads into the once nearly impenetrable server market.\nAMD now has seven consecutive quarters of double-digit revenue growth under its belt, and it appears the firm is gaining momentum: management now guides for 60% revenue growth for the full year, up from the 50% forecast provided in the previous quarter.\nHowever, AMD also competes with NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA), and the latter company’s GPU technology is stealing market share. NVDA has also been successful in gaining access to adjacent markets with its GPUs, especially AI and automotive markets.\nThe Ins And Outs of Intel\nAn understanding of Intel also provides insights into AMD. This is due to the overlap between the two companies, particularly in regards to x86 chips. Intel developed the x86 chip in 1978. To satisfy demands by IBM that Intel would not be the sole supplier of the chips, INTC provided x86 instruction set architecture licensing to AMD.\nConsequently, Intel and AMD have a duopoly position in the PC and server markets, as nearly all computer software is written for x86 architecture. The result is that both have a wide moat related to the x86 ecosystem.\nGaming consoles in particular are based on x86 architecture due to those platforms generally providing more powerful CPUs and GPUs with multiple compute cores. Like PCs, consoles operate with games that use x86 based software. Once again, this stifles potential competition from ARM-based devices.\nUntil fairly recently, AMD was a distant second to INTC as a supplier of x86 chips. However, AMD teamed with Taiwan Semiconductor(NYSE:TSM)to use that manufacturer’s 7nm process to surpass INTC in process technology. Combined with AMD’s developing new innovative chip designs, this one-two punch resulted in INTC losing significant market share.\nAt the end of Q1, AMD held 19.30% of the x86 desktop market, a 70 basis point gain year-over-year. In Q2 AMD corralled 8% of the server market, up from a 5% market share in Q4 of 2019.\nDespite these setbacks, it seems premature to view Intel as a moribund business. INTC is one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world. The firm dominates the server market, and still holds 60% of the global x86 CPU market.\nThe company has an enormous R&D budget, and it is expanding into new markets, primarily Artificial Intelligence, Field-Programmable Gate Array chips, and automotive offerings, through its acquisitions of Habana Labs, Altera, Movidius, and Mobileye.\nInvestors should not be swayed by the claim that Intel’s new 10nm chips are inferior to 7nm solely on the basis that 7 is superior to 10. While once used to denote the technology level of a chip design, it has been misused to the point of being useless.\nHowever, there are a number of concerns that must be acknowledged. Intel lags competitors in the smartphone market. As consumers shift to mobile devices, this could result in a sustained headwind as smartphones take the place of PCs. On the other hand, it should be acknowledged that INTC’s server processor business has seen growth associated with the surge in mobile devices and cloud computing.\nIntel also faces increased competition from AMD in the data center space, as well as customers developing their own ARM-based chips for CPUs.\nAn Overview of AMD\nIn years past, INTC held the lion’s share of the x86 market. This was due in part to Intel’s leading-edge manufacturing combined with AMD’s wafer supply agreements with less than stellar GlobalFoundries.\nHowever, a seismic shift occurred due to three factors: driven by innovative designs, AMD brought competitive products to market, AMD shifted to TSMC for production, and Intel faced repeated manufacturing delays. The two charts below document the progress the company has made.\nSource:Q2 Earnings Presentation\nSource:Q2 Earnings Presentation\nLike Intel, AMD’s primary products are CPUs and GPUs. AMD’s chips are designed for PCs, game consoles, servers, and blockchain applications. And like INTC, AMD’s offerings are largely protected from competition due to the preponderance of software for PCs and servers being designed for x86 architecture.\nAMD’s strong growth has largely come at the expense of Intel as AMD has steadily chipped away at the former company’s CPU market share.\nSource:Seeking Alpha\nAMD’s focus on CPU and GPU semi-custom processor applications has resulted in their use in Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation game consoles.\nIn regards to PC integrated GPUs, AMD is roughly in parity with NVIDIA while INTC dominates with roughly 68% of the market.\nSource:tom'sHARDWARE\nHowever, NVIDIA dominates the discrete GPU space with an 80% plus market share with AMD sweeping up what is left. NVIDIA’s discrete GPUs are arguably superior to AMD’s (more on that later); therefore, investors should not look for growth here.\nAlthough AMD’s EPYC server CPU products were competitive with that of rivals, initially the company relied on aggressive pricing to promote its first generation of EPYC offerings. However, the EPYC line has gained wider acceptance, and with the Milan processors, the company is gaining market share. As server CPUs provide a better profit margin than the company’s other products, expansion into that space should aid in driving revenue.\nLate last year,AMD entered intoa deal to acquire Xilinx (XLNX), a leader in field programmable gate array (FPGA) chips. FPGAs can be used for a wide variety of applications. Because shifting to a competing FPGA provider requires retraining of engineers in software and design tools, customers are loath to make a switch to a competing vendor. Consequently, if the Xilinx deal goes through, AMD will have acquired a wide moat business. Management guides for operational efficiencies of approximately $300 million within 18 months of closing the transaction.\nThe Xilinx acquisition should bolster AMD’s data center and artificial intelligence businesses.\nAMD agreed to acquire Xilinx for $35 billion in an all-stock transaction.\nA Survey of NVIDIA\nNVDA's focus on the graphics processing units market has led the company to a dominant position in the discrete GPU space. The firm is the leader in discrete GPUs for computing platforms, especially gaming consoles. The fact that Intel licensed intellectual property from NVIDIA to integrate GPUs into its PC chipset testifies to the lead the company maintains.\nThe chart below provides a record of the burgeoning ASP the company has been able to command over the last half decade, beginning with the Pascal architecture in 2016, and progressing through Turing to Ampere.\nSource:AMD Investor Presentation\nThe firm’s chips are also found in many high-end PCs, and NVDA has particular strength in the incipient AI and self-driving vehicle markets.\nGPUs are being teamed with CPUs to enhance computation workloads. This stratagem is designed to bolster the ability of AI systems to perform computationally intensive tasks. AI related to autonomous vehicles is a developing strength for NVIDIA. Another arena in which the firm is making its mark is in cloud\nAI and data centers pose the most likely avenue of growth for NVDA. To strengthen its position in both businesses, the company moved last year to acquire ARM Holdings (ARMHF) from parent company Softbank for $40 billion.\nARM is the globe’s largest licensor of chip designs. Its chips are ubiquitous and can be found in mobile phones, smart TVs, and tablet computers. 160 billion chips have been made using ARM designs.\nPerhaps of equal importance is that 13 million developers work with ARM devices. To place that in context, NVDA has 2 million developers working on its array of devices.\nUnfortunately for investors, bothChinaand theU.K.are reportedly balking at approving the deal.\nHead-To-Head Comparisons\nValuation Metrics\nThe following chart provides a variety of metrics related to each stock's valuation. All data labeled forward is analysts’ next fiscal year consensus estimate.\nSource:Seeking Alpha Premium/ chart by author\nNext, I’m using a graph to provide PEG ratios for the three companies. As there can be fairly wide variations in PEG ratios due to analysts’ inputs, I prefer that readers have access to multiple sources when I find wide variance in the ratio.\nChart by author\nNote that Seeking Alpha provides a three to five-year PEG, Schwab simply lists its metric as a PEG ratio, while Yahoo! Finance calculates a five-year ratio. This could explain some of the variance in the numbers provided.\nPerusing the first chart, it is obvious that NVDA is the most overvalued. It is also interesting to note that in the current P/E and the forward price/cash flow estimates show AMD as valued near the sector median.\nCount me as an investor that places great emphasis on a stocks PEG Ratio. Viewing the second chart, AMD has the best PEG of the three companies. I also note that analysts from each source calculated AMD’s PEG ratio as better than the sector median.\nDo not misinterpret my findings. While INTC has a lower valuation in many respects, when considering other factors, I rate AMD higher overall. In other words, it is not the cheapest valuation but the best valuation, for lack of a better means to articulate my view.\n=Advantage AMD\nAnalysts’ Price Targets\nNVIDIA shares currently trade for $202.95.

However, now crypto has plunged and reopening stocks are taking on water as well amid a surge in COVID-19 virus variants.\nA recent Federal Reserve decision caused a big swing in interest rates, which has led to investors selling value stocks and buying growth stocks instead. As if that weren't enough, tech got another boost this week as a federal court blocked a key antitrust lawsuit against Facebook (ticker:FB). This has seemingly given the green light to other large tech companies to keep expanding their businesses as well. With all that in place, this is shaping up to be a good summer for tech stocks, including these five in particular:\n\nFacebook (FB)\nAlphabet (GOOG,GOOGL)\nBlackbaud (BLKB)\nJack Henry & Associates (JKHY)\nTexas Instruments (TXN)\n\nFacebook (FB)\nIn late June, a federal court dismissed antitrust charges against Facebook. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) had claimed that Facebook was acting as a monopoly in social media. The FTC, if it had its way, would have tried to force Facebook to divest its other pivotal holdings, including WhatsApp and Instagram, to create a more competitive social media landscape.\nHowever, the federal court said the FTC failed to prove that Facebook was a monopoly. Facebook stock popped on the news and topped a $1 trillion valuation for the first time.\nArguably, however, the stock should be up a lot more. Shares are still trading for just 23 times forward earnings while analysts forecast nearly 20% annual revenue growth in 2022 and 2023. Now, with the threat of government intervention gone, Facebook is even more compelling.\nAlphabet (GOOG,GOOGL)\nThe court's ruling has broader implications. While Facebook was the target in that case, it's no secret that regulators have been looking at most of the tech titans as potential monopolies, perhaps none more than Alphabet.\nGoogle's search business has massive market share in online advertising.

The ugly reality is that the next stock market crash is inevitable -- the only real question is when that crash will happen.</p>\n<p>Fortunately, market crashes are nothing new. Their history provides a great guide on how to not just <i>survive </i>the next <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> but also thrive when it comes time to emerge from the other side of it. The key is to get prepared before the crash so that when it comes, you have the tools you need already available to you. These four ways can help you be ready in advance.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F635048%2Fgettyimages-482858718-stock-chart-pointing-down-with-sad-person.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"514\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images</span></p>\n<h2>No. 1: Raise the cash you need before the crash happens</h2>\n<p>With even top-rated savings accounts yielding well below inflation&nbsp;, it's <i>really hard</i> to hold a substantial amount of cash right now. Still, by making sure you have cash available before the next crash, you set yourself up to be much better situated after the crash happens.</p>\n<p>There are a couple of key reasons for this. First, stock market crashes and job losses often go hand in hand with each other. If you lose your job after the market crashes, having a cash reserve can go a long way toward keeping you from having to sell near market lows.</p>\n<p>Second, if you have cash available, buying stocks <i>after </i>they've crashed is a great way to make your money work harder for you. Selling one cheap stock after a crash to buy another doesn't make all that much sense, but raising cash when stocks are pricy to invest when they're cheap can be a much smarter wealth building strategy.</p>\n<p>The key trade-off, of course, is that money you have set aside in cash isn't earning much in the way of a return at the moment, especially when compared to inflation. A good rule of thumb is that you need at least a 3-6 month emergency fund in cash. In addition, having around 5 or so years' worth of expenses you need your portfolio to cover in a less volatile and higher certainty investment than stocks can help you ride out typical downturns.</p>\n<h2>No. 2: Know the value of what you own</h2>\n<p>Ultimately, a share of stock is nothing more than a fractional ownership stake in a business. A reasonable value can be estimated for most companies by using techniques like the discounted cash flow model to assess the current value of its expected future earnings stream. In a rapidly rising market, relying on valuations can seem old school, but when the market is crashing, valuation plays a much bigger role.</p>\n<p>A key reason is this: if you can buy a company for a reasonable or even cheap price based on its ability to generate cold hard cash, why would you sell just because the market is panicking? Indeed, a discounted cash flow analysis or other fundamentals-based valuation technique can help the savviest investors know why it's OK to buy more shares even as the market is collapsing.</p>\n<p>Beyond that, understanding what a company is really worth can help you prepare for a crash. If a stock you own has risen to the point where there is absolutely no financial justification for its market price, it might be a good candidate to sell to raise the cash you need.</p>\n<h2>No. 3: Have a shopping list of companies you want to buy</h2>\n<p>Even the best investors can feel overwhelmed as the market moves swiftly and strongly against them. That's where having a plan for what you'd like to buy -- and at what price -- can come in handy. With a list of great companies and a reasonable valuation estimate for each of them, a market crash can turn into an incredible buying opportunity to buy their stocks while they're on sale.</p>\n<p>Of course, you do need to keep in mind that the market often has a good reason for crashing in the first place. As a result, when the market offers you what looks like a great price to buy a company you're interested in owning, do take a moment to refresh your estimate of the company's value before buying. If the company's shares tanked because its business is failing, it's probably not worth owning. If its stock was unfairly discarded in a general market panic, however, it could be a great time to buy in big.</p>\n<h2>No. 4: Keep smartly diversified</h2>\n<p>Often, when the overall market crashes, it's because an entire industry finds itself in trouble. For instance, consider the dot.com implosion in 2000 or the financial crisis in 2008. If a big chunk of your money is chasing the next hot thing and that particular thing is what drives the next market crash, then you can be in a world of hurt. If the companies you own wind up out of business, then their shares -- and the money you have invested in them -- won't be participating in any rally that follows.</p>\n<p>When times are good, portfolio diversification may seem like a fairly meaningless exercise. After all, it can't help you earn better returns in a raging bull market. When the market is in a panic, however, there is incredible value in its ability to limit the impact that any one company or industry's failing will have on your overall net worth. After all, limiting the unrecoverable damage of a crash is key to being able to participate in any subsequent recovery.</p>\n<h2>You can make it through the next crash</h2>\n<p>Stock market crashes are inevitable. There's not much you can do to avoid them aside from not investing at all, and that can be incredibly hazardous to your long term net worth. With these four approaches, you can improve your odds of making it through the next crash intact and potentially even emerging in a better position once it ends.</p>\n<p>The key thing to note about these techniques, though, is that they work better if you get them in place <i>before </i>the next crash happens. So if you're really worried about a market crash, then there's no better than when the market is near an all-time high to get your plans in place.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Worried About a Stock Market Crash? 4 Ways to Be Ready</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\">\nWorried About a Stock Market Crash? 4 Ways to Be Ready\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-26 17:50 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/25/worried-about-a-stock-market-crash-4-ways-to-be-re/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Given worries of a resurging COVID-19 threat,  rising inflation, and stretched valuations have combined to make investors nervous about the stock market.

If you lose your job after the market crashes, having a cash reserve can go a long way toward keeping you from having to sell near market lows.\nSecond, if you have cash available, buying stocks after they've crashed is a great way to make your money work harder for you. Selling one cheap stock after a crash to buy another doesn't make all that much sense, but raising cash when stocks are pricy to invest when they're cheap can be a much smarter wealth building strategy.\nThe key trade-off, of course, is that money you have set aside in cash isn't earning much in the way of a return at the moment, especially when compared to inflation. A good rule of thumb is that you need at least a 3-6 month emergency fund in cash. In addition, having around 5 or so years' worth of expenses you need your portfolio to cover in a less volatile and higher certainty investment than stocks can help you ride out typical downturns.\nNo. 2: Know the value of what you own\nUltimately, a share of stock is nothing more than a fractional ownership stake in a business. A reasonable value can be estimated for most companies by using techniques like the discounted cash flow model to assess the current value of its expected future earnings stream. In a rapidly rising market, relying on valuations can seem old school, but when the market is crashing, valuation plays a much bigger role.\nA key reason is this: if you can buy a company for a reasonable or even cheap price based on its ability to generate cold hard cash, why would you sell just because the market is panicking? Indeed, a discounted cash flow analysis or other fundamentals-based valuation technique can help the savviest investors know why it's OK to buy more shares even as the market is collapsing.\nBeyond that, understanding what a company is really worth can help you prepare for a crash. If a stock you own has risen to the point where there is absolutely no financial justification for its market price, it might be a good candidate to sell to raise the cash you need.\nNo. 3: Have a shopping list of companies you want to buy\nEven the best investors can feel overwhelmed as the market moves swiftly and strongly against them. That's where having a plan for what you'd like to buy -- and at what price -- can come in handy. With a list of great companies and a reasonable valuation estimate for each of them, a market crash can turn into an incredible buying opportunity to buy their stocks while they're on sale.\nOf course, you do need to keep in mind that the market often has a good reason for crashing in the first place. As a result, when the market offers you what looks like a great price to buy a company you're interested in owning, do take a moment to refresh your estimate of the company's value before buying. If the company's shares tanked because its business is failing, it's probably not worth owning. If its stock was unfairly discarded in a general market panic, however, it could be a great time to buy in big.\nNo. 4: Keep smartly diversified\nOften, when the overall market crashes, it's because an entire industry finds itself in trouble. For instance, consider the dot.com implosion in 2000 or the financial crisis in 2008. If a big chunk of your money is chasing the next hot thing and that particular thing is what drives the next market crash, then you can be in a world of hurt. If the companies you own wind up out of business, then their shares -- and the money you have invested in them -- won't be participating in any rally that follows.\nWhen times are good, portfolio diversification may seem like a fairly meaningless exercise. After all, it can't help you earn better returns in a raging bull market. When the market is in a panic, however, there is incredible value in its ability to limit the impact that any one company or industry's failing will have on your overall net worth. After all, limiting the unrecoverable damage of a crash is key to being able to participate in any subsequent recovery.\nYou can make it through the next crash\nStock market crashes are inevitable. There's not much you can do to avoid them aside from not investing at all, and that can be incredibly hazardous to your long term net worth. With these four approaches, you can improve your odds of making it through the next crash intact and potentially even emerging in a better position once it ends.\nThe key thing to note about these techniques, though, is that they work better if you get them in place before the next crash happens. So if you're really worried about a market crash, then there's no better than when the market is near an all-time high to get your plans in place.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":248,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":177202598,"gmtCreate":1627218690814,"gmtModify":1703485678688,"author":{"id":"3570938362108330","authorId":"3570938362108330","name":"KVCGTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2126be6bc046089345232547cb51d38a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570938362108330","idStr":"3570938362108330"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nvidia?

The graphics specialist is growing at a much faster pace than Micron, with its fiscal first-quarter revenue jumping 84% year over year to $5.66 billion. Tremendous demand for Nvidia's graphics cards, which are used in PCs, sent its video gaming revenue soaring. The segment's revenue doubled year over year and accounted for close to half of its top line.</p>\n<p>There are two reasons why the video gaming segment is set for terrific growth in the long haul. First, Nvidia dominates this market with a market share of 81%, according to Jon Peddie Research. It is also worth noting that the chipmaker has substantially increased its presence in the gaming laptop market.</p>\n<p>The company's dominant position in the gaming graphics card market brings us to the second reason why this segment is built for growth. Jon Peddie Research estimates that gaming graphics cards could generate $54 billion in revenue by 2025, which would be a big jump over last year's sales of $23.6 billion. Nvidia sold&nbsp;$7.76 billion worth of graphics cards in fiscal 2021, so the additional revenue opportunity on offer and the company's huge market share indicates that this business still has a lot of room for growth.</p>\n<p>There's a similar story to Nvidia's data center business, which is its second-largest source of revenue. The segment's revenue shot up 79% year over year in Q1, crossing $2 billion in quarterly sales for the first&nbsp;time. With the data center accelerator market expected to clock $53 billion in annual revenue by the end of 2027, according to a third-party estimate, the segment's growth streak seems sustainable.</p>\n<p>Nvidia is doing well in the market for data center graphics processing units (GPUs), with large cloud service providers preferring to use the company's chips to accelerate workloads. The data center GPU market alone is expected to generate $20 billion in revenue by 2027. Nvidia sold almost $6.7 billion worth of data center GPUs last fiscal year, and the massive revenue opportunity points toward more upside in this business.</p>\n<p>Throw in the fact that Nvidia is now moving to tap the other fast-growing niches of the data center accelerator market, such as server central processing units (CPUs) and data processing units (DPUs), and it becomes easier to see why this segment probably won't run out of steam. Such solid growth drivers make it clear why Nvidia's earnings are expected to jump substantially in the future at an annual pace of nearly 27%.</p>\n<h2>The verdict</h2>\n<p>It is evident that both Nvidia and Micron Technology have impressive catalysts that could help them sustain their impressive pace of growth. Value-oriented investors, however, may lean toward buying Micron stock, as it trades at just 20 times trailing earnings, compared to Nvidia's multiple of nearly 91.</p>\n<p>But then, Nvidia is growing at a much faster rate than Micron, as we saw above, which is why its premium seems justified. Additionally, Nvidia dominates its space, while Micron faces competition from the likes of <b>SK Hynix</b> and <b>Samsung</b>. Micron reportedly controls 23.5% of the DRAM market, which makes it a smaller player than the other two, while it stands in fourth position in the NAND market, with a share of just&nbsp;11.2%.</p>\n<p>That's why investors with a higher risk tolerance might want to consider buying Nvidia stock to benefit from the tech giant's supremacy in graphics cards, as it seems capable of outperforming Micron in the future like it has done so far this year.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Better Buy: Nvidia vs. Micron Technology</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\">\nBetter Buy: Nvidia vs. Micron Technology\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-25 09:37 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/24/better-buy-nvidia-vs-micron-technology/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Chipmakers Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) have had very different experiences on the stock market so far in 2021, even though both companies have been delivering stellar ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/24/better-buy-nvidia-vs-micron-technology/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"MU":"美光科技","NVDA":"英伟达"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/24/better-buy-nvidia-vs-micron-technology/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2153350439","content_text":"Chipmakers Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) have had very different experiences on the stock market so far in 2021, even though both companies have been delivering stellar results quarter after quarter.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel raised the issue in a White House meeting on Thursday.\n“It’s in process now,” Biden said at a news conference with Merkel following their meeting. “I’m waiting to hear from our folks, our Covid team, as to when that should be done.”\nHe said to expect an answer “within the next several days.”\nRemoving the ban would also be a boon for major U.S. carriers such as United Airlines Holdings Inc., American Airlines Group Inc. and Delta Air Lines Inc. Former President Donald Trump barred entry from most of Europe, including the U.K., in March 2020, and Biden extended the policy early in his term.\nThe Bloomberg EMEA Airline index jumped as much as 2.9% on Friday. Rolls-Royce Holdings Inc., which makes engines for the wide-body aircraft that ply long-distance routes, traded 3.6% higher as of 10:53 a.m. in London.\nMajor Market\nTransatlantic routes are especially important for airline profit, because they comprise by far the biggest market for premium long-haul travel.\nFlights between Europe and North America attracted 88 million passengers in 2019 and generated $37.5 billion in sales, according to the International Air Transport Association. While the market accounted for 2.2% of global traffic, it produced 6.2% of revenue, indicating the higher prices the routes command.\nBoth metrics fell more than 80% last year as the virus led to a shutdown in cross-border trips.

The benchmark<b>S&amp;P 500</b>has gained more than 90% since hitting its bear-market bottom on March 23, 2020.</p>\n<p>While a number of high-quality and innovative businesses have led this rally, it's also allowed quite a few terrible companies to thrive. It's my suggestion that the following five ultra-popular stocks be avoided like the plague in July.</p>\n<p>Coinbase Global</p>\n<p>First up is cryptocurrency exchange and ecosystem<b>Coinbase Global</b>(NASDAQ:COIN). Coinbase is popular given how quickly its revenue and profits surged in the first quarter as investors piled into the likes of<b>Bitcoin</b>&nbsp;and<b>Ethereum</b>. The problem is there are a trio of catalysts working against the Coinbase brokerage model.</p>\n<p>To start with, there's nothing that prevents competing exchanges from undercutting Coinbase Global's fees. It might have the verified user advantage at the moment, but don't underestimate the willingness of crypto investors to jump ship to save on transaction fees. We witnessed it among traditional brokerages, and the industry eventually wound up going commission-free.</p>\n<p>Second,crypto has a history of boom-and-bust cycles. Bitcoin has had three separate instances over the last decade where it's shed at least 80% of its value. This is an entirely momentum-based investment, and when upside momentum dries up, so does Coinbase's trading revenue. Following a 2017 peak, Coinbase saw its revenue nearly halve in subsequent years.</p>\n<p>And third, the past four weeks, through June 28, saw outflows from crypto of $257.3 million, according to CoinShares Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly. This is more evidence that interest in crypto is already dwindling with these assets well off their highs. Suffice it to say, Coinbase isnot a stock you're going to want to ownmoving forward.</p>\n<p>Cassava Sciences</p>\n<p>Another ultra-popular company with a terrible risk-versus-reward ratio is clinical-stagebiotech stock<b>Cassava Sciences</b>(NASDAQ:SAVA).</p>\n<p>Cassava rightly made waves in February when it announced positive clinical data from an interim analysis of simufilam as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease. The open-label trial showed improvement in cognition and behavior at the six-month mark, and more recently allowed Cassava to outline its plans for a phase 3 trial involving its lead drug candidate.</p>\n<p>I'd love for simufilam to be successful, but history has shown that Alzheimer's is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the toughest-to-treat diseases. With the exception of<b>Biogen</b>'s Aduhelm, which was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but has been criticized heavily for its lack of clear benefit, every Alzheimer's drughas failed in late-stage studies for more than a decade. All investors have to go on is early stage, open-label data from a trial that aimed to enroll 100 patients. It's not been uncommon to see positive early or-mid-stage results get pulverized come a large phase 3 Alzheimer's trial.</p>\n<p>Although Cassava raised a good amount of cash to continue its research, history suggests that simufilam's chance of success is very slim. That makes Cassava Sciences easily avoidable.</p>\n<p>GameStop</p>\n<p>If you've been following the retail trade movement (i.e. Reddit stocks), whereby retail investors are seeking out heavily short-sold companies and attempting to effect a short squeeze, you probably know video game and accessories retailer<b>GameStop</b>(NYSE:GME).</p>\n<p>On <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> hand, GameStop has been able to capitalize on its recent fame byselling stock to raise capitalfor its ongoing transformation to a digital gaming company. It's a much-needed move after e-commerce sales jumped 191% in fiscal 2020 and more than quadrupled during the holiday season, from the prior-year period.</p>\n<p>However, these capital raises don't overlook the fact that theprevious management team failed the company. For two decades, a brick-and-mortar gaming model worked well. However, sticking to this brick-and-mortar model when gaming was going digital left the company in a precarious position. Today, GameStop continues to lose money, even with rapid e-commerce growth, and saw its same-store sales decline by almost 10% last year. Digital sales may be growing, but total revenue is going nowhere as GameStop shutters its physical locations to lower costs.</p>\n<p>GameStop is in no way a bankruptcy candidate, and I can actually see a path to profitability years down the road. But with that being said, the gains it's seen make no sense given the long transformation and operating losses that lie ahead.</p>\n<p>Inovio Pharmaceuticals</p>\n<p>Biotech stocks can offer ample opportunity, or in<b>Inovio Pharmaceuticals</b>'(NASDAQ:INO)case, suck the lifeblood out of long-term investors.</p>\n<p>Inovio would appear to be an intriguing company based solely on paper. It has a pipeline that currently includes over a dozen clinical candidates to treat cancer, infectious diseases, and human papilloma virus. The most-promising looks to be INO-4800, the company's coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine candidate that's readying for phase 3 studies. But if you do any digging into Inovio's clinical performance, you'll be sorely disappointed.</p>\n<p>For example, INO-4800had been placed on partial clinical holdin the U.S. while regulators requested additional data on Inovio's vaccine and its delivery system, Cellectra. More recently, INO-4800 had its late-stage funding pulled by the U.S. government, which is why it's now seeking an international study for its COVID-19 candidate.</p>\n<p>If you think I'm unfairly picking on Inovio for its COVID-19 struggles, pan out even further. In four decades, Inoviohasn't managed to get a drug approved by the FDA. This isn't me wishing bad things on Inovio -- this is the reality that hope and results haven't aligned with this company for a long time. Until Inovio proves itself in a late-stage clinical trial, it's worth avoiding.</p>\n<p>AMC Entertainment</p>\n<p>Finally, I can't forgetongoing pump-and-dump scheme<b>AMC Entertainment</b>(NYSE:AMC). While retail investors were able to claim victory by effecting a short squeeze in January after AMC saved itself by issuing a bunch of shares and high-interest debt, the most recent run-up has nothing to do with a short squeeze. Rather, it's based predominantly on hype, the purposeful obfuscation of concrete fundamental data on message boards, and broad-based, blatant misinformation.</p>\n<p>AMC's retail investors would like you to believe that fundamentals don't matter -- but try driving a car without an engine and see how far you get. AMC is dealing with a 19-year decline in industry ticket sales and is seeing some of its film exclusivity evaporate as movie studios lean on streaming. There will be a place for movie theaters, but AMC'saddressable market keeps shrinkingwith each passing year.</p>\n<p>AMC's retail investors would also have you believe the company is in great shape after raising $2 billion in capital. While it has put bankruptcy rumors in the near-term on the backburner, the 2027 bond price is nowhere near par. Why, you ask? Because bondholders aren't convinced that AMC is going to escape bankruptcy.</p>\n<p>I've seen enough pump-and-dump campaigns in my life to recognize them, andAMC checks all the boxes. My suggestion isn't to short AMC. My suggestion is to avoid it completely. All pump-and-dump schemes eventually collapse, and AMC will be no exception.</p>","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>5 Ultra-Popular Stocks to Avoid Like the Plague in July</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\">\n5 Ultra-Popular Stocks to Avoid Like the Plague in July\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-06 09:32 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/05/5-ultra-popular-stocks-avoid-like-plague-in-july/><strong>The motley fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>For the past 15 months, Wall Street and investors have enjoyed a historic bounce-back rally.

While it has put bankruptcy rumors in the near-term on the backburner, the 2027 bond price is nowhere near par. Why, you ask? Because bondholders aren't convinced that AMC is going to escape bankruptcy.\nI've seen enough pump-and-dump campaigns in my life to recognize them, andAMC checks all the boxes. My suggestion isn't to short AMC. My suggestion is to avoid it completely. All pump-and-dump schemes eventually collapse, and AMC will be no exception.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":52,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":152837816,"gmtCreate":1625280085235,"gmtModify":1703739877387,"author":{"id":"3570938362108330","authorId":"3570938362108330","name":"KVCGTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2126be6bc046089345232547cb51d38a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570938362108330","idStr":"3570938362108330"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/152837816","repostId":"1114445293","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1114445293","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1625277820,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1114445293?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-03 10:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Robinhood’s IPO Could Be a Sign the Stock Market Has Peaked","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1114445293","media":"Barron's","summary":"Nothing succeeds like excess, as the old quip goes.

But surveys of market strategists and institutional investors see little upside, with year-end targets averaging around 4200 on theS&amp;P 500—shy of Thursday’s close of 4319.</p>\n<p>And while it’s always dangerous to say this, it<i>is</i>different this time around from 2000 and 2008. Ahead of crashes in those years, the Federal Reserve had been tightening policy for some time, resulting in a flat-to-negatively sloped yield curve.

A stock that doubled in value was known as a \"two-bagger,\" while a stock that rose 20 times was called a \"20-bagger.\"</p>\n<p>Growth-oriented investors often seek out multibagger stocks in the tech sector, which has more than its fair share of high-growth and disruptive companies. It might seem tough to find the next big multibagger in this diverse sector, but studying a few stocks that previously crossed that threshold might help investors identify the upcoming winners.</p>\n<p>Let's examine three tech stocks that turned a modest $10,000 investment into more than $500,000 -- and what lessons we can glean from their massive multibagger gains.</p>\n<h2>1. Baidu: Turning $10,000 into more than $600,000</h2>\n<p><b>Baidu</b> (NASDAQ:BIDU), the Chinese tech company that owns the country's largest search engine, went public in 2005. If you had invested $10,000 in its IPO, your stake would be worth over $600,000 today.</p>\n<p>Between fiscal 2005 and 2010, Baidu's annual revenue rose at a whopping compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 97.8%. The growth of the Chinese economy, rising income levels, and higher internet penetration rates drove that growth, and Baidu solidified its position as the online search leader in 2010 after <b>Alphabet</b>'s Google pulled out of mainland China.</p>\n<p>Between 2010 and 2015, Baidu's annual revenue grew at a CAGR of 53.6% as it expanded its ecosystem beyond its search engine with new mobile apps and cloud storage services.</p>\n<p>But between 2015 and 2020, Baidu's revenue only rose at a CAGR of 9.9%, as tighter restrictions on its online ads, rising competition from monolithic apps like <b>Tencent</b>'s WeChat, and the slowdown of China's economy throttled its growth. The pandemic exacerbated that pain last year, and Baidu remains exposed to the Chinese government's escalating crackdown on its top tech companies.</p>\n<p>As a result, Baidu's stock price has declined about 40% over the past six months and has stayed roughly flat over the past five years. That dismal return indicates high-growth multibagger stocks like Baidu can lose their momentum as their core markets mature, new competitors enter the market, and government regulators change the rules of the game.</p>\n<h2>2. Shopify: Turning $10,000 into nearly $900,000</h2>\n<p><b>Shopify</b> (NYSE:SHOP), a Canadian e-commerce services company that enables businesses to build their own online stores, fulfill their own orders, and manage their own marketing campaigns, went public in 2015. A $10,000 investment in its IPO would be worth nearly $900,000 today.</p>\n<p>Shopify grew like a weed because many smaller businesses didn't want to tether themselves to big online marketplaces like<b> Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN), which rein in their sellers with listing fees and restrictive rules. That transition accelerated throughout the pandemic last year as more businesses opened online stores.</p>\n<p>Shopify's revenue rose at a CAGR of 70.2% between 2015 and 2020. The stock has risen more than 30% this year, even as concerns about slower online spending in a post-pandemic market battered other e-commerce stocks -- and investors continue to pay a premium for Shopify's growth at over 40 times this year's sales.</p>\n<p>Unlike Baidu, Shopify doesn't yet face any existential challenges. Its decentralized e-commerce approach continues to disrupt Amazon's centralized platform, and it could have plenty of room to grow over the long term as more offline merchants bring their businesses online.</p>\n<h2>3. Nvidia: Turning $10,000 into $8.16 million</h2>\n<p><b>Nvidia</b> (NASDAQ:NVDA), the world's largest producer of discrete GPUs for computers, servers, and video game consoles, went public in 1999. If you had invested $10,000 in its IPO back then, your initial investment would now be worth nearly $8.2 million.</p>\n<p>Nvidia experienced a massive growth spurt over the past five years, as demand for its gaming and data center GPUs hit record levels.

A stock that doubled in value was known as a \"two-bagger,\" while a stock that rose 20 times was called a \"20-bagger.\"\nGrowth-oriented investors often seek out multibagger stocks in the tech sector, which has more than its fair share of high-growth and disruptive companies. It might seem tough to find the next big multibagger in this diverse sector, but studying a few stocks that previously crossed that threshold might help investors identify the upcoming winners.\nLet's examine three tech stocks that turned a modest $10,000 investment into more than $500,000 -- and what lessons we can glean from their massive multibagger gains.\n1. Baidu: Turning $10,000 into more than $600,000\nBaidu (NASDAQ:BIDU), the Chinese tech company that owns the country's largest search engine, went public in 2005. If you had invested $10,000 in its IPO, your stake would be worth over $600,000 today.\nBetween fiscal 2005 and 2010, Baidu's annual revenue rose at a whopping compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 97.8%. The growth of the Chinese economy, rising income levels, and higher internet penetration rates drove that growth, and Baidu solidified its position as the online search leader in 2010 after Alphabet's Google pulled out of mainland China.\nBetween 2010 and 2015, Baidu's annual revenue grew at a CAGR of 53.6% as it expanded its ecosystem beyond its search engine with new mobile apps and cloud storage services.\nBut between 2015 and 2020, Baidu's revenue only rose at a CAGR of 9.9%, as tighter restrictions on its online ads, rising competition from monolithic apps like Tencent's WeChat, and the slowdown of China's economy throttled its growth. The pandemic exacerbated that pain last year, and Baidu remains exposed to the Chinese government's escalating crackdown on its top tech companies.\nAs a result, Baidu's stock price has declined about 40% over the past six months and has stayed roughly flat over the past five years. That dismal return indicates high-growth multibagger stocks like Baidu can lose their momentum as their core markets mature, new competitors enter the market, and government regulators change the rules of the game.\n2. Shopify: Turning $10,000 into nearly $900,000\nShopify (NYSE:SHOP), a Canadian e-commerce services company that enables businesses to build their own online stores, fulfill their own orders, and manage their own marketing campaigns, went public in 2015. A $10,000 investment in its IPO would be worth nearly $900,000 today.\nShopify grew like a weed because many smaller businesses didn't want to tether themselves to big online marketplaces like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), which rein in their sellers with listing fees and restrictive rules. That transition accelerated throughout the pandemic last year as more businesses opened online stores.\nShopify's revenue rose at a CAGR of 70.2% between 2015 and 2020. The stock has risen more than 30% this year, even as concerns about slower online spending in a post-pandemic market battered other e-commerce stocks -- and investors continue to pay a premium for Shopify's growth at over 40 times this year's sales.\nUnlike Baidu, Shopify doesn't yet face any existential challenges. Its decentralized e-commerce approach continues to disrupt Amazon's centralized platform, and it could have plenty of room to grow over the long term as more offline merchants bring their businesses online.\n3. Nvidia: Turning $10,000 into $8.16 million\nNvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), the world's largest producer of discrete GPUs for computers, servers, and video game consoles, went public in 1999. If you had invested $10,000 in its IPO back then, your initial investment would now be worth nearly $8.2 million.\nNvidia experienced a massive growth spurt over the past five years, as demand for its gaming and data center GPUs hit record levels. A new generation of PC games lifted sales of its gaming GPUs, while new AI applications at data centers sparked fierce demand for its high-end server GPUs.\nHigher cryptocurrency prices also periodically boosted sales of Nvidia's gaming GPUs for mining purposes, and it sold more Arm-based Tegra CPUs for connected cars and Nintendo's Switch consoles.\nThose tailwinds, along with its acquisition of the data center equipment maker Mellanox last April, boosted Nvidia's annual revenue at a CAGR of 27.2% between fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2021.\nNvidia remains one of the market's fastest-growing chipmakers, even as its proposed acquisition of Arm Holdings remains on thin ice. It continues to widen its lead against Advanced Micro Devices in the discrete GPU market, and it remains a solid investment on the secular growth of the gaming, data center, and AI markets.\nNvidia's stock price has rallied more than 50% this year, yet its stock still looks surprisingly cheap at 12 times forward earnings. Therefore, Nvidia's stock could still have plenty of room to run -- even if the regulators strike down its ambitious takeover of Arm Holdings.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":608,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":898421132,"gmtCreate":1628518226726,"gmtModify":1703507458095,"author":{"id":"3570938362108330","authorId":"3570938362108330","name":"KVCGTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2126be6bc046089345232547cb51d38a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570938362108330","idStr":"3570938362108330"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow.

The stock price of the <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">ARK Innovation ETF</a></b>, for instance, has soared close to 150% since the beginning of 2020 and crushed the broader stock market's gains handsomely.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/845dfc5a66c843b06f22e65938d896a0\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>ARKK data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>The terrific gains are a result of Wood's strategy of investing in disruptive tech companies, such as cloud communications specialist <b>Twilio</b> (NYSE:TWLO). Twilio is among the top 10 holdings in the ARK Innovation ETF, accounting&nbsp;for 3.66% of the fund's value. The stock has more than tripled in value since January 2020, but investors who have missed this terrific rally now have a golden opportunity to go long Twilio. Let's see why.</p>\n<h2>Twilio's latest slip is an opportunity in disguise</h2>\n<p>Twilio stock price fell after the company released its Q2 earnings report, which seems surprising as it easily beat Wall Street's expectations. It reported a 67% year-over-year increase in revenue to $669 million, while non-GAAP loss per share increased from $0.09 in the prior-year period to $0.11 last quarter.</p>\n<p>Analysts expected Twilio to lose $0.13 per share on $598 million in revenue. However, it looks like Twilio's guidance for a bigger-than-expected loss this quarter may have triggered some panic among investors. Twilio expects&nbsp;to lose between $0.14 and $0.17 per share this quarter on revenue between $670 million and $680 million. Wall Street was expecting&nbsp;a smaller loss of $0.07 per share on $636.4 million in revenue.</p>\n<p>But investors shouldn't be focusing on Twilio's near-term bottom-line miss, as it is pulling the right strings to ensure growth in a lucrative market. Its revenue is on track to increase 50% to 52% year over year this quarter -- but don't be surprised to see Twilio do better than that, for a couple of reasons.</p>\n<p>First, the company's customer base is expanding at a quick pace. It finished Q2 with 240,000 customer accounts, compared to 200,000 in the year-ago period. The acquisitions&nbsp;of Segment and ValueFirst accounted for 7,500 of those customer additions.</p>\n<p>Second, Twilio is generating incremental business from existing customers. This is evident from the company's dollar-based net expansion rate of 135% in Q2, up from 132% in the prior-year period. The dollar-based net expansion rate increases when Twilio's active customers increase their usage of products they are already using or buy additional services from the company.</p>\n<p>It is worth noting that the metric wasn't impacted by the acquisitions of Segment and ValueFirst, as the dollar-based net expansion rate is calculated based on those active customer accounts that were present in the prior-year period. The new customers brought in by those acquisitions can boost spending if they decide to opt for Twilio's other products. Additionally, Twilio's existing customer base now has additional services to choose from, paving the way for further growth in the dollar-based net expansion rate in future quarters.</p>\n<p>Investors shouldn't forget that Twilio added another fast-growing company to its portfolio recently. The company recently spent $850 million&nbsp;to acquire toll-free messaging provider Zipwhip, bringing 30,000 new customers&nbsp;into its fold.</p>\n<p>Now, this acquisition-driven strategy is impacting the company's bottom-line performance because of acquisition-related expenses.

The stock price of the ARK Innovation ETF, for instance, has soared close to 150% since the beginning of 2020 and crushed the broader stock market's gains handsomely.\nARKK data by YCharts\nThe terrific gains are a result of Wood's strategy of investing in disruptive tech companies, such as cloud communications specialist Twilio (NYSE:TWLO). Twilio is among the top 10 holdings in the ARK Innovation ETF, accounting for 3.66% of the fund's value. The stock has more than tripled in value since January 2020, but investors who have missed this terrific rally now have a golden opportunity to go long Twilio. Let's see why.\nTwilio's latest slip is an opportunity in disguise\nTwilio stock price fell after the company released its Q2 earnings report, which seems surprising as it easily beat Wall Street's expectations. It reported a 67% year-over-year increase in revenue to $669 million, while non-GAAP loss per share increased from $0.09 in the prior-year period to $0.11 last quarter.\nAnalysts expected Twilio to lose $0.13 per share on $598 million in revenue. However, it looks like Twilio's guidance for a bigger-than-expected loss this quarter may have triggered some panic among investors. Twilio expects to lose between $0.14 and $0.17 per share this quarter on revenue between $670 million and $680 million. Wall Street was expecting a smaller loss of $0.07 per share on $636.4 million in revenue.\nBut investors shouldn't be focusing on Twilio's near-term bottom-line miss, as it is pulling the right strings to ensure growth in a lucrative market. Its revenue is on track to increase 50% to 52% year over year this quarter -- but don't be surprised to see Twilio do better than that, for a couple of reasons.\nFirst, the company's customer base is expanding at a quick pace. It finished Q2 with 240,000 customer accounts, compared to 200,000 in the year-ago period. The acquisitions of Segment and ValueFirst accounted for 7,500 of those customer additions.\nSecond, Twilio is generating incremental business from existing customers. This is evident from the company's dollar-based net expansion rate of 135% in Q2, up from 132% in the prior-year period. The dollar-based net expansion rate increases when Twilio's active customers increase their usage of products they are already using or buy additional services from the company.\nIt is worth noting that the metric wasn't impacted by the acquisitions of Segment and ValueFirst, as the dollar-based net expansion rate is calculated based on those active customer accounts that were present in the prior-year period. The new customers brought in by those acquisitions can boost spending if they decide to opt for Twilio's other products. Additionally, Twilio's existing customer base now has additional services to choose from, paving the way for further growth in the dollar-based net expansion rate in future quarters.\nInvestors shouldn't forget that Twilio added another fast-growing company to its portfolio recently. The company recently spent $850 million to acquire toll-free messaging provider Zipwhip, bringing 30,000 new customers into its fold.\nNow, this acquisition-driven strategy is impacting the company's bottom-line performance because of acquisition-related expenses. For instance, it incurred $2.5 million in expenses to acquire Zipwhip. But investors shouldn't miss the forest for the trees, as Twilio's strategy of spending money to boost its top line will come in handy in the long run.\nFocus on the bigger picture\nTwilio is focused on grabbing as big a piece of the cloud communications market as possible. This is a smart thing to do, as the cloud communications market is expected to clock a compound annual growth rate of nearly 28% through 2026, and Twilio is currently growing at a faster pace than the space it operates in.\nThe company's acquisitions indicate that it intends to keep outpacing the broader industry's growth, a strategy that could substantially boost revenue in the long run and eventually pave the way for bottom-line improvements. Twilio estimates that its addressable market could hit $87 billion by 2023, a number that rises to $104 billion after including the revenue opportunity added by Segment.\nSo Twilio is just scratching the surface of a massive opportunity given that it has generated $2.25 billion in revenue in the past year. As such, it should be able to sustain its high levels of growth in the long run. That's why investors looking to add a growth stock to their portfolios can treat the recent slip in Twilio as a buying opportunity.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":803,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":895449597,"gmtCreate":1628769254719,"gmtModify":1676529847917,"author":{"id":"3570938362108330","authorId":"3570938362108330","name":"KVCGTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2126be6bc046089345232547cb51d38a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3570938362108330","idStr":"3570938362108330"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"??","listText":"??","text":"??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/895449597","repostId":"1124285877","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1124285877","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1628768412,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1124285877?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-12 19:40","market":"other","language":"en","title":"Messi joins crypto craze as gets part of PSG fee in fan tokens","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1124285877","media":"Reuters","summary":"MIAMI (Reuters) -Soccer star Lionel Messi’s signing on fee at Paris St Germain includes some of the ","content":"<p>MIAMI (Reuters) -Soccer star Lionel Messi’s signing on fee at Paris St Germain includes some of the French club’s cryptocurrency fan tokens, in the latest big name endorsement of new digital assets.</p>\n<p>The Argentine, 34, left Spanish side Barcelona and signed a two-year contract with Qatari-owned Paris St Germain (PSG), with an option for a third year, on Tuesday.</p>\n<p>Confirming an exclusive Reuters report, PSG said on Thursday the tokens were included in his “welcome package,” which media reports have estimated at 25-30 million euros ($29-35 million).
