(NASDAQ:META) was trading at $385 per share. Everyone wanted to buy the world&#39;s leading social-network company that was investing heavily in such a futuristic market segment as virtual reality.</p><p>After exactly one year, Meta is trading at $145 per share, and no one wants to buy a company that has stopped growing and is wasting large sums of money on a market segment that failed before it was even born. What is happening now in Meta is a well-executed example to show how fickle the human mind is when it comes to investments. From top company to flop company in one year. It takes little to go from a period of irrational euphoria to one of unwarranted pessimism. As is often the case, the truth probably lies in the middle, and that is what I will try to demonstrate in this article.</p><p><b>Evolution of registered users</b></p><p>First, let&#39;s go over how registered users to Meta apps have varied over the past few years and especially over the past year. After a 62% price drop, I expect that active users have dropped dramatically.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9a61fe55d53f020cc27200e224d4f0da\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"289\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Meta Q2 2022</p><p>Actually, not really. In fact, monthly active people have increased to 3.65 billion. There are more and more people who over the course of a month connect to one or more apps including Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp. To be more precise, the improvement has not only been there on a monthly basis but also on a daily basis.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2cfaac79056389b0ef28b09725d9424d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"299\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Meta Q2 2022</p><p>2.88 billion people use one of Meta&#39;s apps every day. Considering that the world population connected to the Internet represents5.03 billion, I think it goes without saying how influential and dominant this company is. In addition, here is another image for those who claim that Facebook is a dying app.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/923e07b18fc373580ada66bb91a2e7de\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"301\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Meta Q2 2022</p><p>Daily users continue to increase, especially in the rest of the world and Asia. For that matter, it is hard to imagine that growth will come from the U.S., Canada, and Europe, since a saturation point has been reached.</p><p>Overall, though slow, growth has been there despite the fact that there are 3.65 billion monthly users. Of course, it is unreasonable to expect high growth rates since the world population is limited. There may come a time in the future when there is no more growth, but with so many users at one&#39;s disposal, I honestly do not see it as such a big problem. In any case, Meta has more users than a year ago, still an overwhelming domain but its price has plummeted 62%.</p><p><b>The structure of social networks</b></p><p>Staying on the topic of dominance and competitive advantage, analyzing the underlying mechanism of social networks is crucial to understanding how complex it is for any new company to emerge in this market. &#34;The main goal&#34; of social networks is to create an online network within which it is possible to interact with one or more people. Now, when within this market we have a company like Meta that has more than 3 billion users, it is almost certain that the main goal will be guaranteed, since almost everyone is subscribed to one of its Apps. If any new company wants to compete with Meta, it will have enormous difficulty attracting new customers since it cannot immediately guarantee the main goal. Who would sign up on a social where there are few members? Who would sign up on a social where the people they want to interact with are not present? The only incentive would be to sign up because this new social network guarantees several features that perhaps Instagram or Facebook do not have.</p><p>However, even in this eventuality, the outcome does not change since these kinds of innovations are not patentable. When Snapchat (SNAP) introduced stories, there was a rapid increase in users, but the moment Instagram copied this feature, users moved back to Zuckerberg&#39;s app. When a company has such a large number of daily users, it is unlikely that it can lose its competitive edge, not least because it would mean changing the habits of billions of people.</p><p>Personally, I believe that the only certain way to weaken Meta is a global reduction in social network usage, but even this possibility is quite remote. It has been repeatedly demonstrated how social networks can be addictive through micro-dopamine discharges, so it is very complex to abandon them. In addition, Meta&#39;s apps are also widely used for business reasons, which go beyond the simple selfie posted by a teenager. About Meta&#39;s domain, one could talk for hours, but to avoid being too verbose I preferred to highlight only the general characters.</p><p><b>Huge investments in the metaverse</b></p><p>The billions of dollars spent in Meta&#39;s reality labs segment have so far not been viewed favorably by investors. The downsides are not only in the billions leaking out of the balance sheet but also in the negative impacts on profitability: as it is still an unprofitable segment, it negatively affects the operating margin.</p><p>This is probably the riskiest component of an investment in Meta, since the company is essentially investing billions in a market still in its early stages. The potential gain is incalculable up front, as is the loss, but what is certain is that Meta with its billions invested will play an important role. The goal of investing so much money in this market is to try to offer a social experience that is as realistic as possible, and that can unite even more people located in different places. Meta has already changed the habits of billions of people once with its apps, and with the development of a virtual reality, it could do so once again. On this aspect, Mark Zuckerberg&#39;s words are very firm, and there is no wavering even though the reality labs segment is still loss-making:</p><blockquote>The metaverse is a massive opportunity for a number of reasons. Most importantly, it enables deeper social experiences where you feel a realistic sense of presence with other people, no matter where they are. By helping develop these platforms, we&#39;re going to have the freedom to build these experiences the way we and the overall industry believe will be best rather than being limited by the constraints that competitors place on us, and our community, and on small businesses. Given some of the product and business constraints we face now, I feel even more strongly now that developing these platforms will unlock hundreds of billions of dollars, if not trillions, over time. This is obviously a very expensive undertaking over the next several years, but as the metaverse becomes more important in every part of how we live - from our social platforms and entertainment, to work and education and commerce - I&#39;m confident that we&#39;re going to be glad that we played an important role in building this.</blockquote><p>Whether this will be a trillion-dollar market in the future currently no one can predict. In any case, I think Meta can afford economically and financially to invest so much money in this area. It is good to remember that we are talking about one of the best companies in the world, with no debt, and generating $39.11 billion in free cash flow in 2021. Basically, the company is very solid, so a momentary imbalance to achieve more growth in the future I do not consider it such a serious problem that it would lead to a 62% collapse.</p><p><b>Meta&#39;s revenues are no longer growing</b></p><p>This is the main issue on which investors are appealing with a bearish thesis toward Meta. Meta has been experiencing objective difficulty in increasing its revenues in the last quarter.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4da94b199df92272ec0307fcd799ced9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"281\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Meta Q2 2022</p><p>ARPP increased from the previous quarter but decreased from the same quarter last year. Looking at this graph, therefore, it would seem that Meta has reached its growth peak and that the future is not as bright as the past. Personally, in this respect my view is contrary to that of the market for one main reason: not all geographic areas are experiencing a decrease in revenues.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ecb497bfdce88276f2066a739791fa7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"308\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Meta Q2 2022</p><p>Analyzing Facebook&#39;s revenues by geographic area, in Europe, the U.S., and Canada, theQ2 2022 results were worse than the previous year, but the same cannot be said for Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World. Since for Meta in terms of revenue the Western economy has a greater weight than the Eastern economy, the overall result can only be negative. Certainly, this is not a particularly rosy situation, but some positive aspects such as growth in other geographical areas should not be overlooked.</p><p>Furthermore, it is good to put into context the macroeconomic environment that the major Western economies are facing. The U.S., Canada, and Europe are battling high inflation and slower-than-expected economic growth. More specifically, high energy prices are slowly crumbling Europe, while GDP in the U.S. has been declining for 2 consecutive quarters. This is not the article where I cover the current macroeconomic difficulties in detail, but it is clear that many companies are not doing well. Since 98% of Meta&#39;s revenue comes from advertising, it is not surprising that during a recession some companies decide to reduce some variable costs such as advertising. Meta&#39;s business model is pro-cyclical, so it is normal to expect a slowdown at this stage.</p><p>The question to ask is not whether Meta has stopped growing, but how long this recessionary phase will last and how it will affect cash flows in the short to medium term. From a long-term perspective (when the economy recovers), I am hopeful for a resumption of revenue growth since users are not dropping, but in order to make a good investment, you have to buy Meta at a price that can discount the difficulties of this adverse economic phase.</p><p>How much is Meta worth?</p><p>To obtain an approximate fair value I will use a free cash flow model. This model will be constructed as follows:</p><ul><li>The cost of equity will be 11% and includes abeta of 1.30, a risk-free rate of 3.50%, country market risk premium of 4.20% and additional risks of 2%. The latter value refers to risks related to investment in the metaverse.</li><li>Since Meta has negative net debt, there is no need to calculate the cost of debt. The capital structure will be composed of 100% equity and therefore the WACC will be equal to the cost of equity.</li><li>The free cash flow values entered from 2022 to 2026 are based on TIKR Terminal analysts&#39; expectations. From 2026 I have included a growth rate of only 5% since I want to maintain a conservative approach.</li><li>The source of net debt and outstanding shares isTIKR Terminal.</li></ul><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/906a1c57a14064dea6096f1701f8caba\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"243\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p><b>Discounted cash flow</b></p><p>According to my assumptions, Meta&#39;s fair value is $253 per share, so the company is very undervalued. Entering a 30% margin of safety this seems to be an excellent time to build a position. Reconnecting with what I said at the beginning of the article, the fair value is somewhere between the current price and the all-time high in 2021. At $385 per share, Meta was overvalued, but a drop to $145 I do not consider justified.</p><p>Finally, before concluding this article I attach an additional free cash flow model where I will be even more conservative.

Most importantly, it enables deeper social experiences where you feel a realistic sense of presence with other people.There are more and more people who over the course of a month connect to one or more apps including Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp.Not all geographic areas are experiencing a decrease in revenues.Meta's competitive advantage is currently insurmountable.A year ago, Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) was trading at $385 per share. Everyone wanted to buy the world's leading social-network company that was investing heavily in such a futuristic market segment as virtual reality.After exactly one year, Meta is trading at $145 per share, and no one wants to buy a company that has stopped growing and is wasting large sums of money on a market segment that failed before it was even born. What is happening now in Meta is a well-executed example to show how fickle the human mind is when it comes to investments. From top company to flop company in one year. It takes little to go from a period of irrational euphoria to one of unwarranted pessimism. As is often the case, the truth probably lies in the middle, and that is what I will try to demonstrate in this article.Evolution of registered usersFirst, let's go over how registered users to Meta apps have varied over the past few years and especially over the past year. After a 62% price drop, I expect that active users have dropped dramatically.Meta Q2 2022Actually, not really. In fact, monthly active people have increased to 3.65 billion. There are more and more people who over the course of a month connect to one or more apps including Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp. To be more precise, the improvement has not only been there on a monthly basis but also on a daily basis.Meta Q2 20222.88 billion people use one of Meta's apps every day. Considering that the world population connected to the Internet represents5.03 billion, I think it goes without saying how influential and dominant this company is. In addition, here is another image for those who claim that Facebook is a dying app.Meta Q2 2022Daily users continue to increase, especially in the rest of the world and Asia. For that matter, it is hard to imagine that growth will come from the U.S., Canada, and Europe, since a saturation point has been reached.Overall, though slow, growth has been there despite the fact that there are 3.65 billion monthly users. Of course, it is unreasonable to expect high growth rates since the world population is limited. There may come a time in the future when there is no more growth, but with so many users at one's disposal, I honestly do not see it as such a big problem. In any case, Meta has more users than a year ago, still an overwhelming domain but its price has plummeted 62%.The structure of social networksStaying on the topic of dominance and competitive advantage, analyzing the underlying mechanism of social networks is crucial to understanding how complex it is for any new company to emerge in this market. \"The main goal\" of social networks is to create an online network within which it is possible to interact with one or more people. Now, when within this market we have a company like Meta that has more than 3 billion users, it is almost certain that the main goal will be guaranteed, since almost everyone is subscribed to one of its Apps. If any new company wants to compete with Meta, it will have enormous difficulty attracting new customers since it cannot immediately guarantee the main goal. Who would sign up on a social where there are few members? Who would sign up on a social where the people they want to interact with are not present? The only incentive would be to sign up because this new social network guarantees several features that perhaps Instagram or Facebook do not have.However, even in this eventuality, the outcome does not change since these kinds of innovations are not patentable. When Snapchat (SNAP) introduced stories, there was a rapid increase in users, but the moment Instagram copied this feature, users moved back to Zuckerberg's app. When a company has such a large number of daily users, it is unlikely that it can lose its competitive edge, not least because it would mean changing the habits of billions of people.Personally, I believe that the only certain way to weaken Meta is a global reduction in social network usage, but even this possibility is quite remote. It has been repeatedly demonstrated how social networks can be addictive through micro-dopamine discharges, so it is very complex to abandon them. In addition, Meta's apps are also widely used for business reasons, which go beyond the simple selfie posted by a teenager. About Meta's domain, one could talk for hours, but to avoid being too verbose I preferred to highlight only the general characters.Huge investments in the metaverseThe billions of dollars spent in Meta's reality labs segment have so far not been viewed favorably by investors. The downsides are not only in the billions leaking out of the balance sheet but also in the negative impacts on profitability: as it is still an unprofitable segment, it negatively affects the operating margin.This is probably the riskiest component of an investment in Meta, since the company is essentially investing billions in a market still in its early stages. The potential gain is incalculable up front, as is the loss, but what is certain is that Meta with its billions invested will play an important role. The goal of investing so much money in this market is to try to offer a social experience that is as realistic as possible, and that can unite even more people located in different places. Meta has already changed the habits of billions of people once with its apps, and with the development of a virtual reality, it could do so once again. On this aspect, Mark Zuckerberg's words are very firm, and there is no wavering even though the reality labs segment is still loss-making:The metaverse is a massive opportunity for a number of reasons. Most importantly, it enables deeper social experiences where you feel a realistic sense of presence with other people, no matter where they are. By helping develop these platforms, we're going to have the freedom to build these experiences the way we and the overall industry believe will be best rather than being limited by the constraints that competitors place on us, and our community, and on small businesses. Given some of the product and business constraints we face now, I feel even more strongly now that developing these platforms will unlock hundreds of billions of dollars, if not trillions, over time. This is obviously a very expensive undertaking over the next several years, but as the metaverse becomes more important in every part of how we live - from our social platforms and entertainment, to work and education and commerce - I'm confident that we're going to be glad that we played an important role in building this.Whether this will be a trillion-dollar market in the future currently no one can predict. In any case, I think Meta can afford economically and financially to invest so much money in this area. It is good to remember that we are talking about one of the best companies in the world, with no debt, and generating $39.11 billion in free cash flow in 2021. Basically, the company is very solid, so a momentary imbalance to achieve more growth in the future I do not consider it such a serious problem that it would lead to a 62% collapse.Meta's revenues are no longer growingThis is the main issue on which investors are appealing with a bearish thesis toward Meta. Meta has been experiencing objective difficulty in increasing its revenues in the last quarter.Meta Q2 2022ARPP increased from the previous quarter but decreased from the same quarter last year. Looking at this graph, therefore, it would seem that Meta has reached its growth peak and that the future is not as bright as the past. Personally, in this respect my view is contrary to that of the market for one main reason: not all geographic areas are experiencing a decrease in revenues.Meta Q2 2022Analyzing Facebook's revenues by geographic area, in Europe, the U.S., and Canada, theQ2 2022 results were worse than the previous year, but the same cannot be said for Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World. Since for Meta in terms of revenue the Western economy has a greater weight than the Eastern economy, the overall result can only be negative. Certainly, this is not a particularly rosy situation, but some positive aspects such as growth in other geographical areas should not be overlooked.Furthermore, it is good to put into context the macroeconomic environment that the major Western economies are facing. The U.S., Canada, and Europe are battling high inflation and slower-than-expected economic growth. More specifically, high energy prices are slowly crumbling Europe, while GDP in the U.S. has been declining for 2 consecutive quarters. This is not the article where I cover the current macroeconomic difficulties in detail, but it is clear that many companies are not doing well. Since 98% of Meta's revenue comes from advertising, it is not surprising that during a recession some companies decide to reduce some variable costs such as advertising. Meta's business model is pro-cyclical, so it is normal to expect a slowdown at this stage.The question to ask is not whether Meta has stopped growing, but how long this recessionary phase will last and how it will affect cash flows in the short to medium term. From a long-term perspective (when the economy recovers), I am hopeful for a resumption of revenue growth since users are not dropping, but in order to make a good investment, you have to buy Meta at a price that can discount the difficulties of this adverse economic phase.How much is Meta worth?To obtain an approximate fair value I will use a free cash flow model. This model will be constructed as follows:The cost of equity will be 11% and includes abeta of 1.30, a risk-free rate of 3.50%, country market risk premium of 4.20% and additional risks of 2%. The latter value refers to risks related to investment in the metaverse.Since Meta has negative net debt, there is no need to calculate the cost of debt. The capital structure will be composed of 100% equity and therefore the WACC will be equal to the cost of equity.The free cash flow values entered from 2022 to 2026 are based on TIKR Terminal analysts' expectations. From 2026 I have included a growth rate of only 5% since I want to maintain a conservative approach.The source of net debt and outstanding shares isTIKR Terminal.Discounted cash flowAccording to my assumptions, Meta's fair value is $253 per share, so the company is very undervalued. Entering a 30% margin of safety this seems to be an excellent time to build a position. Reconnecting with what I said at the beginning of the article, the fair value is somewhere between the current price and the all-time high in 2021. At $385 per share, Meta was overvalued, but a drop to $145 I do not consider justified.Finally, before concluding this article I attach an additional free cash flow model where I will be even more conservative. The only difference with the previous one is in the 2026 cash flows which have been reduced by $10 billion: analysts have estimated high growth compared to 2025, and I do not trust that figure.Discounted cash flowEven using this other, more conservative model, Meta is still very undervalued. The 30% margin of safety still marks a positive value and a potential entry point at current prices.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":487,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9910135700,"gmtCreate":1663573220700,"gmtModify":1676537293344,"author":{"id":"3572228950547010","authorId":"3572228950547010","name":"Footixx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/286a694c51da40f13325f2f7cd6b8851","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3572228950547010","idStr":"3572228950547010"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"😩","listText":"😩","text":"😩","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9910135700","repostId":"1177047620","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":541,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9937471367,"gmtCreate":1663493013259,"gmtModify":1676537279030,"author":{"id":"3572228950547010","authorId":"3572228950547010","name":"Footixx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/286a694c51da40f13325f2f7cd6b8851","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3572228950547010","idStr":"3572228950547010"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9937471367","repostId":"1179022137","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1179022137","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1663457531,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1179022137?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-18 07:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Stock-Split Stocks Set to Soar by as Much as 101% From Their 52-Week Lows, According to Wall Street","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1179022137","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Watching Wall Street might be a good way to find returns in this difficult market.","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>KEY POINTS</h2><ul><li>Palo Alto Networks leads the cybersecurity industry in 11 different categories, and services in that space are in high demand.</li><li>Shares of e-commerce giant Shopify could be the top performer of this bunch, with a potential upside of 101% over the next year.</li><li>Tesla is positioning itself to become more than just an electric vehicle producer.</li></ul><p>If just two themes have defined the stock market in 2022, those themes would be stock splits and the bear market. Both have disproportionately affected the technology sector, with some of the largest tech companies in the U.S. opting for stock splits to reduce their high share prices, and the <b>Nasdaq-100</b> tech index bearing the brunt of the broader market losses.</p><p><b>Palo Alto Networks</b>, <b>Shopify</b>, and <b>Tesla</b> have all conducted stock splits this year, and each stock has touched its 52-week low within the last four months. Still, Wall Street analysts are quite bullish on all three, which begs the question: Should you follow Wall Street&#39;s lead and buy the dip on these stock split stocks?</p><h2>Palo Alto Networks is a global leader in cybersecurity</h2><p><b>Anthony Di Pizio</b> <b>(Palo Alto Networks):</b> Palo Alto Networks&#39; stock price hit a 52-week low of $140.52 in May, and while it has since bounced to $184.37, Wall Street investment bank <b>Morgan Stanley</b> is betting it could soar to $274.33. That represents an upside of 49% from where it trades today. If it gets there, that would also be a tidy gain of 95% from its 52-week low.</p><p>Why is Morgan Stanley so bullish? Well, Palo Alto recently reported an incredibly strong financial performance for its fiscal 2022, which ended July 31, even in the face of the economic slowdown. Its $5.5 billion in revenue was a 29% jump compared to its fiscal 2021. What&#39;s more, Palo Alto&#39;s remaining performance obligations soared by 40% to $8.2 billion, which suggests a revenue growth acceleration might be on the horizon.</p><p>This is all because cybersecurity isn&#39;t something companies want -- it&#39;s something they absolutely need. As businesses shift more of their operations online using cloud technology, their attack surface continues to grow, which means they need more intuitive forms of protection for their valuable digital assets. In fact, a recent survey of company leaders conducted by Morgan Stanley suggested that organizations would have almost no appetite for cutting back on cybersecurity spending, even during a recession.</p><p>Since Palo Alto is an industry leader in 11 cybersecurity categories, it&#39;s no surprise it has a huge roster of large customers. At the end of its fiscal 2022, 1,240 of its clients were spending $1 million or more annually on its products and services.</p><p>Management&#39;s guidance for fiscal 2023 points to more strength, with revenue expected to rise by as much as 25% to $6.9 billion. While that would be a marginal slowdown compared to fiscal 2022&#39;s growth rate, it&#39;s still significantly faster than the cybersecurity industry&#39;s growth rate of 14%.</p><h2>Shopify could lead the e-commerce recovery</h2><p><b>Jamie Louko</b> <b>(Shopify):</b> RBC Capital&#39;s Paul Treiber has put a 12-month price target of $60 on Shopify, implying 101% growth from Shopify&#39;s 52-week low of $29.84. This is undoubtedly optimistic, and it would constitute a stellar performance.</p><p>There are a few reasons Treiber might be so bullish. First, Shopify has plummeted, bringing what was once a highly valued stock down to a relatively low valuation. It trades at 8.3 times sales -- nearly its lowest valuation since going public in 2015. Right now, shares of Shopify are also trading closer to its all-time low valuation than to its average multiple over its life as a public company.</p><p>Shopify has experienced some short-term pain, but its long-term future still looks bright. Recession fears have spooked investors about the e-commerce space, and that makes sense: As consumer budgets tighten, shoppers will likely spend less on discretionary goods like those sold by many e-commerce merchants. That said, the long-term future of e-commerce adoption looks good. By 2024, e-commerce is expected to represent 22% of global retail sales. That&#39;s an increase from 18% in 2020.</p><p>Considering that Shopify is one of the leading platforms for small businesses to create and grow their online operations, the company is well-placed to capitalize on that expected expansion. Millions of businesses worldwide use its platform, and Shopify merchants accounted for more than 10% of all U.S. retail e-commerce sales in 2021. Shopify facilitated almost $47 billion in gross merchandise volume in the second quarter of 2022 alone.</p><p>Treiber also might like Shopify because of its high switching costs. The company offers nearly everything a merchant might need, from point-of-sale solutions to payment processing to capital loans. It has even started offering fulfillment services, where Shopify handles all the shipping and returns logistics for its merchants. Once a client begins to rely on all these tools, it can be tough to leave the ecosystem. Therefore, there&#39;s a good chance Shopify&#39;s merchant count will continue to grow, even during this precarious time for e-commerce businesses.</p><h2>Self-driving cars and autonomous robots</h2><p><b>Trevor Jennewine (Tesla):</b> Emmanuel Rosner of <b>Deutsche Bank</b> recently reiterated his buy rating on Tesla stock, and his split-adjusted price target of $375 per share implies an upside of 81% from its 52-week low and an upside of 29% from its current price.</p><p>Tesla is not a typical automaker. It&#39;s not even a typical electric car company. Instead, CEO Elon Musk sees it as an artificial intelligence and robotics company that makes electric cars. So, while the global electric car market is on pace to hit $802 billion by 2027, Tesla sits in front of a much larger opportunity. That said, electric cars are still a critical part of the equation, and Tesla has evolved from pioneer to market leader.</p><p>In the second quarter, Tesla accounted for 19% of battery electric car sales worldwide, easily topping the 11% market share held by runner-up <b>BYD</b>. That dominance naturally fueled strong top-line growth -- Tesla&#39;s trailing-12-month revenue skyrocketed by 60% over the past year to $67.2 billion -- but the company has also become a paragon of manufacturing efficiency. In fact, Tesla achieved an industry-leading operating margin of 16.2% over the past year, which sent its free cash flow soaring by 165% to $6.9 billion.</p><p>However, Musk believes that full self-driving software will eventually be the primary source of profitability for Tesla&#39;s car business, and the company arguably has an edge over other automakers when it comes to autonomous cars.

Both have disproportionately affected the technology sector, with some of the largest tech companies in the U.S. opting for stock splits to reduce their high share prices, and the Nasdaq-100 tech index bearing the brunt of the broader market losses.Palo Alto Networks, Shopify, and Tesla have all conducted stock splits this year, and each stock has touched its 52-week low within the last four months. Still, Wall Street analysts are quite bullish on all three, which begs the question: Should you follow Wall Street's lead and buy the dip on these stock split stocks?Palo Alto Networks is a global leader in cybersecurityAnthony Di Pizio (Palo Alto Networks): Palo Alto Networks' stock price hit a 52-week low of $140.52 in May, and while it has since bounced to $184.37, Wall Street investment bank Morgan Stanley is betting it could soar to $274.33. That represents an upside of 49% from where it trades today. If it gets there, that would also be a tidy gain of 95% from its 52-week low.Why is Morgan Stanley so bullish? Well, Palo Alto recently reported an incredibly strong financial performance for its fiscal 2022, which ended July 31, even in the face of the economic slowdown. Its $5.5 billion in revenue was a 29% jump compared to its fiscal 2021. What's more, Palo Alto's remaining performance obligations soared by 40% to $8.2 billion, which suggests a revenue growth acceleration might be on the horizon.This is all because cybersecurity isn't something companies want -- it's something they absolutely need. As businesses shift more of their operations online using cloud technology, their attack surface continues to grow, which means they need more intuitive forms of protection for their valuable digital assets. In fact, a recent survey of company leaders conducted by Morgan Stanley suggested that organizations would have almost no appetite for cutting back on cybersecurity spending, even during a recession.Since Palo Alto is an industry leader in 11 cybersecurity categories, it's no surprise it has a huge roster of large customers. At the end of its fiscal 2022, 1,240 of its clients were spending $1 million or more annually on its products and services.Management's guidance for fiscal 2023 points to more strength, with revenue expected to rise by as much as 25% to $6.9 billion. While that would be a marginal slowdown compared to fiscal 2022's growth rate, it's still significantly faster than the cybersecurity industry's growth rate of 14%.Shopify could lead the e-commerce recoveryJamie Louko (Shopify): RBC Capital's Paul Treiber has put a 12-month price target of $60 on Shopify, implying 101% growth from Shopify's 52-week low of $29.84. This is undoubtedly optimistic, and it would constitute a stellar performance.There are a few reasons Treiber might be so bullish. First, Shopify has plummeted, bringing what was once a highly valued stock down to a relatively low valuation. It trades at 8.3 times sales -- nearly its lowest valuation since going public in 2015. Right now, shares of Shopify are also trading closer to its all-time low valuation than to its average multiple over its life as a public company.Shopify has experienced some short-term pain, but its long-term future still looks bright. Recession fears have spooked investors about the e-commerce space, and that makes sense: As consumer budgets tighten, shoppers will likely spend less on discretionary goods like those sold by many e-commerce merchants. That said, the long-term future of e-commerce adoption looks good. By 2024, e-commerce is expected to represent 22% of global retail sales. That's an increase from 18% in 2020.Considering that Shopify is one of the leading platforms for small businesses to create and grow their online operations, the company is well-placed to capitalize on that expected expansion. Millions of businesses worldwide use its platform, and Shopify merchants accounted for more than 10% of all U.S. retail e-commerce sales in 2021. Shopify facilitated almost $47 billion in gross merchandise volume in the second quarter of 2022 alone.Treiber also might like Shopify because of its high switching costs. The company offers nearly everything a merchant might need, from point-of-sale solutions to payment processing to capital loans. It has even started offering fulfillment services, where Shopify handles all the shipping and returns logistics for its merchants. Once a client begins to rely on all these tools, it can be tough to leave the ecosystem. Therefore, there's a good chance Shopify's merchant count will continue to grow, even during this precarious time for e-commerce businesses.Self-driving cars and autonomous robotsTrevor Jennewine (Tesla): Emmanuel Rosner of Deutsche Bank recently reiterated his buy rating on Tesla stock, and his split-adjusted price target of $375 per share implies an upside of 81% from its 52-week low and an upside of 29% from its current price.Tesla is not a typical automaker. It's not even a typical electric car company. Instead, CEO Elon Musk sees it as an artificial intelligence and robotics company that makes electric cars. So, while the global electric car market is on pace to hit $802 billion by 2027, Tesla sits in front of a much larger opportunity. That said, electric cars are still a critical part of the equation, and Tesla has evolved from pioneer to market leader.In the second quarter, Tesla accounted for 19% of battery electric car sales worldwide, easily topping the 11% market share held by runner-up BYD. That dominance naturally fueled strong top-line growth -- Tesla's trailing-12-month revenue skyrocketed by 60% over the past year to $67.2 billion -- but the company has also become a paragon of manufacturing efficiency. In fact, Tesla achieved an industry-leading operating margin of 16.2% over the past year, which sent its free cash flow soaring by 165% to $6.9 billion.However, Musk believes that full self-driving software will eventually be the primary source of profitability for Tesla's car business, and the company arguably has an edge over other automakers when it comes to autonomous cars. Specifically, its fleet of autopilot-enabled cars has collected more than 35 million miles worth of autonomous driving data -- more than any other automaker -- and data is the cornerstone of artificial intelligence projects. With that in mind, Musk believes Tesla will \"solve\" full self-driving this year, and he plans for the company to start building robotaxis in 2024.Assuming all goes according to plan, Tesla could launch an autonomous ride-hailing service shortly thereafter, and that would fundamentally change its business. UBS Group analysts believe the robotaxi market will be worth north of $2 trillion by 2030, and an Ark Invest white paper predicts autonomous ride-hailing platforms could earn $2 trillion in profits by 2030. Those estimates may be ambitious, but the big picture is clear: Tesla's market opportunity is set to expand dramatically, and its transition into software and services could turbocharge its margins.Despite a valuation of 14.9 times sales that would traditionally be viewed as pricey, patient investors should seriously consider buying a few shares of this growth stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":428,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9935495991,"gmtCreate":1663119222113,"gmtModify":1676537207573,"author":{"id":"3572228950547010","authorId":"3572228950547010","name":"Footixx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/286a694c51da40f13325f2f7cd6b8851","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3572228950547010","idStr":"3572228950547010"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"😩","listText":"😩","text":"😩","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9935495991","repostId":"2267563034","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2267563034","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1663113369,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2267563034?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-14 07:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nvidia Hits 52-Week Low As Chips Plunge After Hot Inflation Report","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2267563034","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Nvidia hit a new 52-week low and Advanced Micro Devices  tumbled nearly 9% as semiconductor stocks f","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">Nvidia</a> hit a new 52-week low and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">Advanced Micro Devices </a> tumbled nearly 9% as semiconductor stocks fell sharply Tuesday after the U.S. government released its latest CPI report that came in hotter-than-expected, likely resulting in further pressure from the Federal Reserve.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">Nvidia</a> closed at $131.31, down nearly 10%, but not before hitting $130.99 late in the session, marking a new 52-week low for the Jensen Huang-led company.

After she detailed the company’s future plans for analysts in February, Mr. Buffett told his own shareholders, “What Vicki Hollub was saying made nothing but sense.” Last month, Berkshire received regulatory approval to buy up to 50% of the oil company’s shares, spurring speculation it might seek to purchase all of Occidental.</p><p>Mr. Buffett declined to comment for this story. Ms. Hollub said she has “tremendous respect” for Mr. Buffett, adding that “he will be very beneficial for us as we go forward.” She declined to discuss the possibility of Berkshire purchasing the entire company.</p><p>Some former investors remain skeptical, saying a spike in oil prices has rescued the company, not Ms. Hollub.</p><p>“I have nothing personal against Vicki,” Mr. Icahn said in an interview. “However, that will never change my mind that she should not have made a bet-the-company investment by way of overpaying for Anadarko.”</p><p>A University of Alabama graduate, Ms. Hollub joined Occidental in 1982 and soon found herself running operations in Russia and Venezuela. She almost got laid off in 2003, butTodd Stevens, an executive at the company who had followed her rise, arranged for her to lead a team evaluating acreage in Colorado, said Mr. Stevens, who has since left.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bf58d7d767a23cfb352e019504bafa44\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Equipment used to process carbon dioxide, crude oil and water at an Occidental Petroleum project in Hobbs, N.M.PHOTO:ERNEST SCHEYDER/REUTERS</span></p><p>Ms. Hollub became known as a hard worker, once spending three weeks straightening out operations at a new gas field’s first well, said Donnie Enns, a former geophysicist who worked under her. “Nobody worked harder than Vicki,” he said. She also found time to run an office March Madness basketball pool.</p><p>After being named CEO of the company in 2016, Ms. Hollub departed from her predecessor’s preference for low-risk, “bolt-on” transactions. A little over a year into the job, she started courting Anadarko, an oil producer of comparable size, for a deal.</p><p>She outflanked largerChevronCorp. in a bidding war that riveted the oil patch, offering $5 billion more than her rival for Anadarko and its prized assets in the epicenter of U.S. shale production. Yet victory came at a steep cost.</p><p>Some of Occidental’s largest shareholders decried the deal—especially a pricey loan from Mr. Buffett in the form of $10 billion in preferred stock paying 8% annually in dividends, or $800 million. Ms. Hollub negotiated the funding at the eleventh hour after meeting with the financier in Omaha, Neb. Mr. Icahn, who first bought stock as the Anadarko bidding war came to a close, wrote to Occidental shareholders that “Buffett figuratively took her to the cleaners.”</p><p>Ms. Hollub acknowledged the deal damaged the company’s standing with some investors. “I was never offended at the fact that our shareholders were skeptical,” she said.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/58cf5cd81991220ec1f42821cee2554b\" tg-width=\"639\" tg-height=\"959\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Vicki Hollub said she never doubted the wisdom of the Anadarko acquisition.PHOTO:ANGELA OWENS/THE WALL STREET JOURNAL</span></p><p>But she said she never doubted the wisdom of the acquisition, even after it sparked an investor revolt that created an opportunity for Mr. Icahn.</p><p>Central to Ms. Hollub’s strategy was building on Occidental’s already-large position in the oil-rich Permian of West Texas and New Mexico. She believed purchasing and drilling a huge swath of new acreage, much of it near the company’s existing assets, would give Occidental economies of scale and allow it to outperform Permian rivals. Occidental, she said, was one of the most technologically advanced drillers in the field; it would turn Anadarko’s undeveloped assets into oil-gushing wells.</p><p>By the end of 2019, the oil producer said it was making progress on its merger goals. It had divested itself of more than $6 billion in assets, including stakes in a liquefied natural gas export project in Mozambique and in a Houston-based pipeline company. Occidental recorded single-day and monthly production records in the Permian and other oil fields. Occidental announced its 182nd consecutive quarterly dividend, which Ms. Hollub noted at the time that “few other companies can claim.”</p><p>Ms. Hollub believed the merger was on track, but investors remained skeptical. From the time of Occidental’s counteroffer for Anadarko in April 2019 to February 2020 Occidental’s stock fell around 35%. Then the global pandemic took hold.</p><p>As billions of people around the world began to lock down, demand for oil plummeted. In the spring, oil prices reached historic lows, briefly turning negative for the first time ever as traders paid counterparties to take oil off their hands. Falling demand for their product hammered oil-and-gas companies, forcing dozens into bankruptcy.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9090db9eab1ac4c91bd5b1b441d26206\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Gasoline prices sank in April 2020 after the global pandemic caused oil prices to drop below zero.PHOTO:FREDERIC J. BROWN/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES</span></p><p>Every day, Ms. Hollub would drive to Occidental’s Houston offices in her red Jeep Wrangler, said Glenn Vangolen, a former senior vice president at Occidental and close adviser to the CEO. Mondays and Fridays, she and her lieutenants would mask up and gather in a conference room to discuss operations. Her office was spartan—a mostly bare room, except for a TV playing business news on mute, and a plush stuffed version of a costumed elephant, the Alabama Crimson Tide’s mascot, Mr. Vangolen said.</p><p>Occidental was in a worse situation than many of its peers: At the end of 2019, its long-term debt of about $39 billion was equivalent to roughly four times its earnings, excluding interest, taxes and other accounting items, quadruple the ratio from a year earlier, S&amp;P Capital IQ data show. The divestitures it had planned on to pay it down were no longer viable as assets were losing value.</p><p>Ms. Hollub said that Occidental made a lot of the difficult decisions before the pandemic to mitigate the downside risks of the Anadarko acquisition, including hedging a portion of its oil production and bumping its line of credit to $5 billion. But the company still faced painful months ahead as it had barely enough cash on hand to meet debt maturities coming due in 2021 and was later forced to hire restructuring advisers.</p><p>Ms. Hollub moved to cut her executives’ salaries—including her own by 81%—offer employees voluntary buy-outs, slash expenses in the oil patch and cancel employee perks. She also cut the dividend, which rankled investors.</p><p>Mr. Icahn amplified his calls for Ms. Hollub’s ouster and said he would seek to replace the entire board of directors at the company’s annual meeting. As the oil producer’s stock plunged to under $10 from around $45 before the pandemic, Mr. Icahn—facing paper losses of about $1 billion—doubled down on his shares, boosting his stake to roughly 10% from about 2%.</p><p>After a price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia caused oil prices to plunge below $25 a barrel in March, Occidental reached a settlement with Mr. Icahn. The deal gave board seats to two of his deputies and added another director, required Occidental to create an oversight committee that must be informed of any offers to acquire the company or its assets, and replaced the board chairman withStephen Chazen, Ms. Hollub’s predecessor as CEO.</p><p>Mr. Icahn’s camp pushed for Occidental to give its shareholders warrants that could allow them to buy discounted shares in the future. After he prevailed, Mr. Icahn received roughly 11 million warrants initially and bought more when they were worth around $3.</p><p>Mr. Vangolen said Mr. Icahn’s demand for warrants was part of the investor’s “raider playbook,” which he described as “trying to extract as much cash out of the business as you can before you bail.”</p><p>Mr. Icahn said that all the shareholders who rode the stock down deserved something for their loyalty.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3af2c050a88b00dd9846de958b65be1b\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>A crude oil pump jack in the Permian Basin in Loving County, Texas.PHOTO:ANGUS MORDANT/REUTERS</span></p><p>As the pandemic dragged on, Occidental logged a roughly $14.8 billion loss for 2020, its largest on record, according to S&amp;P Capital IQ data. Still, it continued to whittle down its mammoth debt, closing around $2.5 billion in asset sales at the end of 2020. Anadarko’s assets, meanwhile, were starting to shine, with production in the Permian reaching the high end of company estimates.</p><p>Even as Ms. Hollub wrestled with Mr. Icahn, she was building a relationship with Mr. Buffett.</p><p>In 2020, she traveled to Omaha to discuss Occidental&#39;s long-term strategy with Mr. Buffett, according to a person familiar with the meeting. The investor expressed a strong interest in the company&#39;s goal to become a leader in carbon capture, this person said.</p><p>Occidental says it has no plans to stop producing oil but also aims to be a leader in &#34;carbon management.&#34; It wants to develop 70 plants by 2035 to suck carbon dioxide out of the air, store it in the ground and sell carbon credits to businesses seeking to offset their own emissions -- a technology still in its commercial infancy that received a boost thanks to tax credits included in the climate package President Biden signed into law last month. The company also plans to use the gas to squeeze more oil from underground.</p><p>Then, in late February of this year, Russia invaded Ukraine.</p><p>The war propelled oil prices to their highest level in years, with Brent crude oil topping $120 in March, translating into a windfall for oil companies. In the first quarter of the year, Occidental made roughly $4.9 billion in profit, its highest quarterly earnings on record, according to S&amp;P Capital IQ.</p><p>The company now holds the most acreage across the Permian, with leases covering about 2.8 million net acres, according to data firm Enverus. Its domestic oil output in the second quarter of this year was up roughly 80% compared with before it acquired Anadarko, Occidental reported.</p><p>As Occidental&#39;s stock rose above $50 a share in March, Mr. Icahn sold his common stake. The investor&#39;s two representatives on Occidental&#39;s board also resigned, as was required by the settlement agreement. Mr. Icahn made over $1.5 billion on his investment and still holds some warrants, according to public filings and people familiar with the matter.</p><p>As Mr. Icahn got out of the stock, Mr. Buffett bought in. In May, Berkshire reported it had purchased roughly $8 billion worth of shares.</p><p>Mr. Icahn said that Mr. Buffett&#39;s investment could be ill-timed. &#34;I respect Buffett a lot but I think buying this stock at this level is obviously not like buying warrants at $3,&#34; he said. &#34;I made a great deal of money on my investment in Occidental, especially with the warrants, and activism worked in that regard,&#34; he said.</p><p>Ms. Hollub and Mr. Buffett have developed a personal relationship and the two talk periodically, said Mr. Vangolen. Ms. Hollub said in an interview she had no personal relationship with Mr. Icahn when he was an investor, and that he turned out not to be the kind of long-term shareholder the company prizes.</p><p>Mr. Icahn&#39;s retort: &#34;She came very close to not being a long-term shareholder also, because her ill-timed investment put the company on the brink of bankruptcy.&#34;</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>How a CEO Rescued a Big Bet on Big Oil; \"There Were a Lot of Doubters\"</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\">\nHow a CEO Rescued a Big Bet on Big Oil; \"There Were a Lot of Doubters\"\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2022-09-11 09:57</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be5cb2e717152d9e61504d0803ac3654\" tg-width=\"1278\" tg-height=\"1278\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Occidental Petroleum Corp. entered the thick of the pandemic among the worst prepared of its U.S. oil-and-gas peers.

Struggling with debt from an ill-timed $38 billion deal, Chief ExecutiveVicki Hollubwas fending off activist investorCarl Icahn, who controlled two board seats.Two years later, the company has emerged as the top performer in the S&P 500, and Ms. Hollub has traded Mr. Icahn, who sold all of his Occidental shares in March, for Warren Buffett, whoseBerkshire Hathaway Inc. now owns more than 20% of the company.It was touch and go for a time. Months before the pandemic took hold, she implemented widespread layoffs. To stave off bankruptcy after oil prices collapsed in 2020, she slashed spending and nearly eliminated Occidental’s once-sacrosanct dividend—“the biggest and toughest decision that I made and I’ve ever made in my career,” she said in an interview.Her 2019 acquisition of rival Anadarko Petroleum Corp., which Mr. Icahn called a “disaster,” has given Occidental the dominant position in the largest U.S. shale-oil field, the Permian Basin. Lifted by climbing oil prices, Occidental generated a record $4.35 billion in free cash flow and $3.7 billion in profit in the second quarter. It has cut its debt to $22 billion from nearly $36 billion a year ago.Oil-and-gas producers have reported banner profits this year, even as a global energy crisis sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has threatened to derail European industries, left the U.K. facing its worst economic crisis since the 1970s and forced the Netherlands, Germany and India to rely heavily on coal to make up for a dearth of natural gas.But Ms. Hollub, the first woman to be CEO of a major U.S. oil company, says she doesn’t feel vindicated. “I just feel relief,” she said. “There were a lot of doubters.”Mr. Buffett has publicly lauded Ms. Hollub’s leadership. After she detailed the company’s future plans for analysts in February, Mr. Buffett told his own shareholders, “What Vicki Hollub was saying made nothing but sense.” Last month, Berkshire received regulatory approval to buy up to 50% of the oil company’s shares, spurring speculation it might seek to purchase all of Occidental.Mr. Buffett declined to comment for this story. Ms. Hollub said she has “tremendous respect” for Mr. Buffett, adding that “he will be very beneficial for us as we go forward.” She declined to discuss the possibility of Berkshire purchasing the entire company.Some former investors remain skeptical, saying a spike in oil prices has rescued the company, not Ms. Hollub.“I have nothing personal against Vicki,” Mr. Icahn said in an interview. “However, that will never change my mind that she should not have made a bet-the-company investment by way of overpaying for Anadarko.”A University of Alabama graduate, Ms. Hollub joined Occidental in 1982 and soon found herself running operations in Russia and Venezuela. She almost got laid off in 2003, butTodd Stevens, an executive at the company who had followed her rise, arranged for her to lead a team evaluating acreage in Colorado, said Mr. Stevens, who has since left.Equipment used to process carbon dioxide, crude oil and water at an Occidental Petroleum project in Hobbs, N.M.PHOTO:ERNEST SCHEYDER/REUTERSMs. Hollub became known as a hard worker, once spending three weeks straightening out operations at a new gas field’s first well, said Donnie Enns, a former geophysicist who worked under her. “Nobody worked harder than Vicki,” he said. She also found time to run an office March Madness basketball pool.After being named CEO of the company in 2016, Ms. Hollub departed from her predecessor’s preference for low-risk, “bolt-on” transactions. A little over a year into the job, she started courting Anadarko, an oil producer of comparable size, for a deal.She outflanked largerChevronCorp. in a bidding war that riveted the oil patch, offering $5 billion more than her rival for Anadarko and its prized assets in the epicenter of U.S. shale production. Yet victory came at a steep cost.Some of Occidental’s largest shareholders decried the deal—especially a pricey loan from Mr. Buffett in the form of $10 billion in preferred stock paying 8% annually in dividends, or $800 million. Ms. Hollub negotiated the funding at the eleventh hour after meeting with the financier in Omaha, Neb. Mr. Icahn, who first bought stock as the Anadarko bidding war came to a close, wrote to Occidental shareholders that “Buffett figuratively took her to the cleaners.”Ms. Hollub acknowledged the deal damaged the company’s standing with some investors. “I was never offended at the fact that our shareholders were skeptical,” she said.Vicki Hollub said she never doubted the wisdom of the Anadarko acquisition.PHOTO:ANGELA OWENS/THE WALL STREET JOURNALBut she said she never doubted the wisdom of the acquisition, even after it sparked an investor revolt that created an opportunity for Mr. Icahn.Central to Ms. Hollub’s strategy was building on Occidental’s already-large position in the oil-rich Permian of West Texas and New Mexico. She believed purchasing and drilling a huge swath of new acreage, much of it near the company’s existing assets, would give Occidental economies of scale and allow it to outperform Permian rivals. Occidental, she said, was one of the most technologically advanced drillers in the field; it would turn Anadarko’s undeveloped assets into oil-gushing wells.By the end of 2019, the oil producer said it was making progress on its merger goals. It had divested itself of more than $6 billion in assets, including stakes in a liquefied natural gas export project in Mozambique and in a Houston-based pipeline company. Occidental recorded single-day and monthly production records in the Permian and other oil fields. Occidental announced its 182nd consecutive quarterly dividend, which Ms. Hollub noted at the time that “few other companies can claim.”Ms. Hollub believed the merger was on track, but investors remained skeptical. From the time of Occidental’s counteroffer for Anadarko in April 2019 to February 2020 Occidental’s stock fell around 35%. Then the global pandemic took hold.As billions of people around the world began to lock down, demand for oil plummeted. In the spring, oil prices reached historic lows, briefly turning negative for the first time ever as traders paid counterparties to take oil off their hands. Falling demand for their product hammered oil-and-gas companies, forcing dozens into bankruptcy.Gasoline prices sank in April 2020 after the global pandemic caused oil prices to drop below zero.PHOTO:FREDERIC J. BROWN/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGESEvery day, Ms. Hollub would drive to Occidental’s Houston offices in her red Jeep Wrangler, said Glenn Vangolen, a former senior vice president at Occidental and close adviser to the CEO. Mondays and Fridays, she and her lieutenants would mask up and gather in a conference room to discuss operations. Her office was spartan—a mostly bare room, except for a TV playing business news on mute, and a plush stuffed version of a costumed elephant, the Alabama Crimson Tide’s mascot, Mr. Vangolen said.Occidental was in a worse situation than many of its peers: At the end of 2019, its long-term debt of about $39 billion was equivalent to roughly four times its earnings, excluding interest, taxes and other accounting items, quadruple the ratio from a year earlier, S&P Capital IQ data show. The divestitures it had planned on to pay it down were no longer viable as assets were losing value.Ms. Hollub said that Occidental made a lot of the difficult decisions before the pandemic to mitigate the downside risks of the Anadarko acquisition, including hedging a portion of its oil production and bumping its line of credit to $5 billion. But the company still faced painful months ahead as it had barely enough cash on hand to meet debt maturities coming due in 2021 and was later forced to hire restructuring advisers.Ms. Hollub moved to cut her executives’ salaries—including her own by 81%—offer employees voluntary buy-outs, slash expenses in the oil patch and cancel employee perks. She also cut the dividend, which rankled investors.Mr. Icahn amplified his calls for Ms. Hollub’s ouster and said he would seek to replace the entire board of directors at the company’s annual meeting. As the oil producer’s stock plunged to under $10 from around $45 before the pandemic, Mr. Icahn—facing paper losses of about $1 billion—doubled down on his shares, boosting his stake to roughly 10% from about 2%.After a price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia caused oil prices to plunge below $25 a barrel in March, Occidental reached a settlement with Mr. Icahn. The deal gave board seats to two of his deputies and added another director, required Occidental to create an oversight committee that must be informed of any offers to acquire the company or its assets, and replaced the board chairman withStephen Chazen, Ms. Hollub’s predecessor as CEO.Mr. Icahn’s camp pushed for Occidental to give its shareholders warrants that could allow them to buy discounted shares in the future. After he prevailed, Mr. Icahn received roughly 11 million warrants initially and bought more when they were worth around $3.Mr. Vangolen said Mr. Icahn’s demand for warrants was part of the investor’s “raider playbook,” which he described as “trying to extract as much cash out of the business as you can before you bail.”Mr. Icahn said that all the shareholders who rode the stock down deserved something for their loyalty.A crude oil pump jack in the Permian Basin in Loving County, Texas.PHOTO:ANGUS MORDANT/REUTERSAs the pandemic dragged on, Occidental logged a roughly $14.8 billion loss for 2020, its largest on record, according to S&P Capital IQ data. Still, it continued to whittle down its mammoth debt, closing around $2.5 billion in asset sales at the end of 2020. Anadarko’s assets, meanwhile, were starting to shine, with production in the Permian reaching the high end of company estimates.Even as Ms. Hollub wrestled with Mr. Icahn, she was building a relationship with Mr. Buffett.In 2020, she traveled to Omaha to discuss Occidental's long-term strategy with Mr. Buffett, according to a person familiar with the meeting. The investor expressed a strong interest in the company's goal to become a leader in carbon capture, this person said.Occidental says it has no plans to stop producing oil but also aims to be a leader in \"carbon management.\" It wants to develop 70 plants by 2035 to suck carbon dioxide out of the air, store it in the ground and sell carbon credits to businesses seeking to offset their own emissions -- a technology still in its commercial infancy that received a boost thanks to tax credits included in the climate package President Biden signed into law last month. The company also plans to use the gas to squeeze more oil from underground.Then, in late February of this year, Russia invaded Ukraine.The war propelled oil prices to their highest level in years, with Brent crude oil topping $120 in March, translating into a windfall for oil companies. In the first quarter of the year, Occidental made roughly $4.9 billion in profit, its highest quarterly earnings on record, according to S&P Capital IQ.The company now holds the most acreage across the Permian, with leases covering about 2.8 million net acres, according to data firm Enverus. Its domestic oil output in the second quarter of this year was up roughly 80% compared with before it acquired Anadarko, Occidental reported.As Occidental's stock rose above $50 a share in March, Mr. Icahn sold his common stake. The investor's two representatives on Occidental's board also resigned, as was required by the settlement agreement. Mr. Icahn made over $1.5 billion on his investment and still holds some warrants, according to public filings and people familiar with the matter.As Mr. Icahn got out of the stock, Mr. Buffett bought in. In May, Berkshire reported it had purchased roughly $8 billion worth of shares.Mr. Icahn said that Mr. Buffett's investment could be ill-timed. \"I respect Buffett a lot but I think buying this stock at this level is obviously not like buying warrants at $3,\" he said. \"I made a great deal of money on my investment in Occidental, especially with the warrants, and activism worked in that regard,\" he said.Ms. Hollub and Mr. Buffett have developed a personal relationship and the two talk periodically, said Mr. Vangolen.

On Friday, Fed Governor Christopher Waller said the Fed should be aggressive with rate hikes while the economy \"can take a punch,\" while Kansas City Fed President Esther George said taming inflation could be a tough task.Both remarks come after Fed Chair Jerome Powell said on Thursday that the U.S. central bank is \"strongly committed\" to controlling inflation.Traders are pricing in a 90% chance of a 75 basis point rate hike at the next meeting, up from 57% a week earlier, according to CME Group's Fedwatch Tool https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/interest-rates/countdown-to-fomc.html?redirect=/trading/interest-rates/fed-funds.html.The CBOE volatility index, a gauge of investor anxiety, closed to a two-week low of 22.79 but stayed above its long-term average of about 20.The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 377.19 points, or 1.19%, to 32,151.71, the S&P 500 gained 61.18 points, or 1.53%, to 4,067.36 and the Nasdaq Composite added 250.18 points, or 2.11%, to 12,112.31.For the week, the Dow advanced 2.7%, the S&P 500 climbed 3.6% and the Nasdaq gained 4.1%.U.S. equity funds recorded outflows of $11.5 billion in the week to Wednesday, their largest outflow in 11 weeks, Bank of America Merrill said on Friday.Volume on U.S. exchanges was 9.91 billion shares, compared with the 10.24 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.Kroger Co jumped 7.4% after the grocer raised its annual forecast.Shares of Tapestry Inc rose 2.7% after the luxury handbag maker said it expects revenue of $8 billion by fiscal year 2025.Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 5.14-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 2.58-to-1 ratio favored advancers.The S&P 500 posted seven new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 47 new highs and 63 new lows.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":552,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9936114167,"gmtCreate":1662726253459,"gmtModify":1676537127764,"author":{"id":"3572228950547010","authorId":"3572228950547010","name":"Footixx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/286a694c51da40f13325f2f7cd6b8851","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3572228950547010","idStr":"3572228950547010"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9936114167","repostId":"1131692594","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1131692594","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1662726340,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1131692594?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-09 20:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Regeneron Raised to $851 By Morgan Stanley; Zscaler Boosted to $210 By RBC Capital | Price Target Changes","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1131692594","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Morgan Stanley raised the price target on Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. from $625 to $851.

They include <b>Ginkgo Bioworks</b>, <b>Monday.com</b>, and <b>Trimble</b>. Let&#39;s find out a bit more about these three Cathie Wood stocks that are worth more consideration.</p><h2>1. Ginkgo Bioworks</h2><p>A leader in the field of synthetic biology, or synbio, Ginkgo Bioworks specializes in providing its customers with improved molecules. Essentially, the company acts like an architect. Customers -- from a variety of industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics -- inform Ginkgo of their needs, and Ginkgo designs the blueprints for new and improved microbes.

However, the stock&#39;s plunge is not reflective of something inherently wrong with the company. This is something with which Wood seems to be familiar. Throughout August, the <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">ARK Innovation ETF</a></b> has purchased more than 7.34 million shares of Ginkgo Bioworks.</p><p>The company doesn&#39;t project profitability on an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) basis until 2025. In the meantime, though, investors can monitor the company&#39;s ability to launch new programs -- 60 are forecasted in 2022 -- as a positive sign that the company&#39;s offerings are in consistently high demand.</p><h2>2. Monday.com</h2><p>Also appearing on Wood&#39;s shopping list is the open platform stock Monday.com. The <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKW\">ARK Next Generation Internet ETF</a></b> has been steadily increasing its position in Monday.com throughout 2022, adding 164,500 shares in February through May and 30,075 shares, most recently, in June.</p><p>The advantage of Monday.com&#39;s platform is that it allows customers to develop a customizable workflow experience -- selecting from the different apps available on its platform -- without the need for complex coding or adherence to a nonflexible infrastructure. Simply put, Monday.com&#39;s platform makes it easier for customers to work online. And with our lives becoming increasingly dependent on our ability to manage things online, Monday.com&#39;s ability to provide an easier solution is something that is highly attractive.</p><p>Monday.com has excelled at growing revenue over the past three years: Sales have soared at a compound annual growth rate of 99% from 2019 to 2021. The company recently announced a strong second-quarter 2022 performance, and management is bullish on the coming year regarding free cash flow generation.</p><p>On the company&#39;s Q2 2022 conference call, Eliran Glazer, the company&#39;s CFO, said that management expects &#34;to see a shift toward breakeven or some free cash flow positive&#34; in the second half of 2023.</p><h2>3. Trimble</h2><p>Occupying an increasingly larger position in two ETFs this summer, Trimble is a stock that first made an appearance in an ARK ETF in September 2020. Wood most recently picked up shares of Trimble in July, when the <b>ARK Space Exploration &amp; Innovation ETF</b> picked up 25,073 shares, and the <b>ARK</b> <b>Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF</b> added 93,392 shares.</p><p>Trimble is a leader in positioning systems. On both local and global scales, Trimble helps a diverse range of customers from industries including agriculture, construction, and transportation. With the data it collects from its positioning solutions, Trimble is also able to offer customers sophisticated modeling, analysis, and autonomous technology solutions.</p><p>Customers need to have accurate positioning data that are subsequently converted into modeling solutions and analytics, which is hardly something that will wane in the coming years. Instead, Trimble&#39;s offerings will likely grow in demand as customers&#39; positioning and data needs become more sophisticated. The high interest in Trimble&#39;s offerings, in fact, is already recognizable in the company&#39;s substantial backlog of approximately $1.6 billion as of the end of Q2 2022.</p><h2>A last look at Cathie Wood&#39;s shopping list</h2><p>On balance, growth investors are more comfortable taking on risk in their investments, but that&#39;s not to say that all growth stocks represent the same risk. Trimble, for example, has a long runway of growth ahead of it, yet the company already generates positive free cash flow, mitigating the amount of risk. For investors looking to take on more risk in pursuit of greater rewards, conversely, Ginkgo Bioworks and Monday.com are better options.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Stocks Cathie Wood Is Buying That Should Be on Your List Too</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\">\n3 Stocks Cathie Wood Is Buying That Should Be on Your List Too\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-05 16:02 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/02/stocks-cathie-wood-buying-that-should-be-on-list/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Back-to-school supplies and updates to your autumn wardrobe are popular things on people's shopping lists these days.

shipments and when Micron (MU) presented dire guidance on memory sales following a slowdown in consumer electronicsproducts like smartphone and PCs.</p><p>In this article, I present my thesis that suggests Apple’s flagship smartphone sales will be better than anticipated by a deep dive into 1H2022 results, as will its other products, in light of Apple’s lack of empirical guidance for F4Q.</p><p><b>Apple&#39;s September 7 Event - Earlier Than Usual A Positive With No Supply Chain Problems</b></p><p>Apple recently sent out invitations to its “Far Out” event slated to be held at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, California on Sept. 7. As seen in Table 1, all iPhone events since the iPhone 4S in 2011 were introduced later than the Sept. 7, 2022, date of the iPhone 14 event.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/451e6dca9b021a86a3b3e6149c2fc333\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"406\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Apple</p><p><i>This suggests that Apple’s supply chain is under control and can deliver on time.</i> In previous years, several iPhones were introduced later than planned, primarily due to supply chain issues. The iPhone 12 was delayed because of 5G parts shortages.</p><p>Last year&#39;s iPhone 13 production ultimately fell 20% short of the initial plan in September and October. The root cause of delays revolved around the need for a supplier ramp of sensor-shift optical image stabilization to all four iPhone 13 models when Apple had only used sensor-shift stabilization on the iPhone 12 Pro Max, while the other models relied on OIS (optical image stabilization).</p><p>Even with the iPhone 14 development, there have been glitches in the camera coating. Rear cameras that Taiwan’s Genius Electronic Optical Co. supplied experienced coating-crack quality issues. As a result, Apple had to move 10 million lens orders to Largan Precision to prevent iPhone 14 shipment delays.</p><p><b>Smartphone Shipments May Be Down, But Apple is Up – A Positive</b></p><p>Much of the negative news surrounding the consumer electronics market is a headline that&#39;s not well thought out. Indeed, smartphone shipments decreased on a YoY basis, but Apple shipments increased.</p><p>Research firm Counterpoint Researchsaidthat Apple saw 147% year-over-year growth in the $1,000 and above portion of the smartphone market, accounting for 46% of the total market.</p><p>On aglobal basis, overall smartphone shipments fell -7% YoY to 291 million units in Q2 2022. But Apple shipped 48 million iPhones worldwide, up +3% YoY, for 16% global market share in Q2 2022, as shown in Chart 1. This is the highest second quarter market share for Apple over the past 10 years, at the expense of leading Chinese brands who were hampered by the sluggish performance in both home and overseas market. Apple had a good quarter, led by iPhone 13 series which continued to ramp up volumes in US, China and other key markets, according to the company.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/35ce09c08e448a2b3f6e63ee6c14e875\" tg-width=\"296\" tg-height=\"352\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Strategy Analytics</span></p><p>Chart 1</p><h3>Will Dour Economy Influence iPhone 14 Sales?</h3><p>Macroeconomic headwinds have been a challenge for investors, particularly inflation. In the past month since Apple’s F3Q earnings call, these headwinds have abated somewhat. But the reasoning for moving up the Apple event Sept. 7 has raised speculation that it was done in light of the economic malaise impacting consumers prior to further negative news.</p><p>I see the move as an opportunity for Apple to<i>jump start</i>its supply chain economically since its delivery schedule appears to be stable with no glitches. This strategy will financially help suppliers of components as concerns of layoffs and redundancies are on the horizon. It&#39;s also geared to app developers, many of which are small businesses.</p><p>In the past two weeks on thepositive economic side:</p><ul><li>Consumer confidence reached 103.2 in August, an increase of 7.9 from the final reading of 95.3 for July.</li><li>Producer prices fell 0.5% in July from the month before.</li><li>Home prices jumped to a record high in the second quarter</li><li>U.S. consumer sentiment rose in early August to 55.1, continuing its climb from a record low earlier this summer as inflation expectations improved.</li><li>U.S. retail spending held steady in July, and excluding autos and gasoline, spending rose 0.7%.</li><li>Initial jobless claims inched down to a seasonally adjusted 250,000 last week, a sign the labor market is holding up.</li><li>Employers in the U.S. added about 462,000 more jobs in the year through March than the Labor Department originally estimated.</li><li>U.S. GDP fell less than previously thought in second quarter, contracting at a 0.6% annual rate from April to June, down from an initial 0.9% rate earlier.</li></ul><p>On the not-so-positive side:</p><ul><li>Durable-goods orders unchanged in July, as businesses pulled back on orders for long-lasting goods, reflecting a cooling in demand amid other signs of a slowing U.S. economy.</li><li>Consumer spending inched up 0.1% in July as inflation remained near a four-decade high.</li><li>New applications for unemployment benefits, which edged higher to 262,000 last week, have been on an upward trend since reaching a 50-year low in March.</li><li>Housing starts in the U.S. declined 9.6% in July from the month before as high inflation and higher mortgage rates make it more expensive to build and buy property.</li><li>U.S. existing home sales fell in July for the sixth straight month, the longest streak of declines in more than eight years, as higher mortgage rates and a shortage of homes for sale are cooling the market.</li><li>Businesses pulled back on orders for long-lasting goods, reflecting a cooling in demand amid other signs of a slowing U.S. economy.</li></ul><p>Keep in mind that the above issues are for the U.S. economy, and globally they could be very different. TheConference Boardforecasts global GDP growth of 2.7 percent for 2022 and 1.7 percent for 2023.</p><p>Given stronger-than-expected Q2 data and upward revisions to Q1, forecasts for the full year 2022 are revised upward for the Euro Area. But as headwinds are intensifying, the Conference Board lowered its 2023 GDP growth estimates.</p><p>The full-year 2022 GDP growth projection for China was downgraded by 0.3 percentage points to account for a weaker-than-expected services recovery in the second half of the year.</p><h3><b>Investor Takeaway</b></h3><p>Apple reported F3Q revenue of $63.4 billion with a June quarter revenue record for iPhone.</p><p>At itsF3Q earnings call, according to Luca Maestri - SVP &amp; CFO:</p><blockquote>“iPhone revenue grew 3% year-over-year to a June quarter record of $40.7 billion despite foreign exchange headwinds as customer response to our iPhone 13 family continue to be strong. We set June quarter records in both developed and emerging markets. And the iPhone active installed base reached a new all-time high across all geographies as a result of this level of sales performance combined with unmatched customer loyalty.”</blockquote><p>Table 2 shows Apple&#39;s revenues for FY2020 and FY2021 and my estimates for FY2022 to FY2024. I forecast that for FY2022 only the iPad will be impacted by the slowing demand for consumer electronics products. Other than that data metric, revenue for each product line will increase yearly.</p><p>Apple’s services revenue reaching $112 billion in FY 2024. Importantly, services will grow to 25.6% of total revenues in FY2024, up from 18.7% in FY2021.</p><p>Gross margin was guided sequentially lower (41.5-42.5% versus 43.3% in F3Q). Chart 2 shows Apple’s meteoric rise in gross margins over the past five-year period. In my opinion, the possibility of a guided drop holds less significance given it rose from 38% over the previous four years.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1cb1c84c3fdbe6c680c06f4b5ddd9064\" tg-width=\"634\" tg-height=\"416\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Chart 2</span></p><p>My main concern is that despite a positive scenario I presented in this article, technology stock performance continues to be strongly correlated with the 10-year Treasury Rate. I discussed this in detail in my July 1, 2022, Seeking Alpha article entitled “Why Are Tech Stocks Selling Off And What Is The Outlook?”</p><p>Chart 3 shows this correlation with Apple shares. U.S. Treasury yields rose again after Fed Chair Powell signaled further interest rate hikes last week. Uncertainty remains high over the course of inflation, energy prices, the war in Ukraine, and economic policy in China. That has resulted in a corresponding drop in Apple shares.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/687b5eefc5a181794d19e62d3abe4c8f\" tg-width=\"634\" tg-height=\"432\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Chart 3</span></p><p>While the 10-year Treasury Rate is increasing and responsible for technology shares decreasing, the two-year Treasury Rate is increasing faster. As shown in Chart 4, this has resulted in an inverted yield curve, with the 10-2 year spread at -0.30%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2eab5a850395d356059c7c5ab760570b\" tg-width=\"634\" tg-height=\"450\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Chart 4</span></p><p>An inverted yield curve occurs when near-term risks increase. Investors demand relatively greater compensation from shorter-term Treasuries, and long-term expectations for the economy sour.</p><p>There have been six major US recessions, defined byat least two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, since 1976. Represented by gray panels in the below chart, all six recessions were preceded by the 10-2 spread going negative, and each recession occurred less than two years after the 10-2 spread first inverted.</p><p>Apple’s Sept. 7 iPhone 14 event will provide the press with information on increments of performance improvements beyond the iPhone 13. That seems to be standard operating procedure for Apple with each iteration of iPhone announced. However, it&#39;s the backdrop of this event that provides details about the health of the company amid macroeconomic concerns.</p><p>My attempts to “think outside the box” suggest to readers that the “bright spots” in Apple’s timing of the event (a positive) and its ancillary performance in iPhone shipments and market shares (a positive) are a buying opportunity for investors.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

As seen in Table 1, all iPhone events since the iPhone 4S in 2011 were introduced later than the Sept. 7, 2022, date of the iPhone 14 event.AppleThis suggests that Apple’s supply chain is under control and can deliver on time. In previous years, several iPhones were introduced later than planned, primarily due to supply chain issues. The iPhone 12 was delayed because of 5G parts shortages.Last year's iPhone 13 production ultimately fell 20% short of the initial plan in September and October. The root cause of delays revolved around the need for a supplier ramp of sensor-shift optical image stabilization to all four iPhone 13 models when Apple had only used sensor-shift stabilization on the iPhone 12 Pro Max, while the other models relied on OIS (optical image stabilization).Even with the iPhone 14 development, there have been glitches in the camera coating. Rear cameras that Taiwan’s Genius Electronic Optical Co. supplied experienced coating-crack quality issues. As a result, Apple had to move 10 million lens orders to Largan Precision to prevent iPhone 14 shipment delays.Smartphone Shipments May Be Down, But Apple is Up – A PositiveMuch of the negative news surrounding the consumer electronics market is a headline that's not well thought out. Indeed, smartphone shipments decreased on a YoY basis, but Apple shipments increased.Research firm Counterpoint Researchsaidthat Apple saw 147% year-over-year growth in the $1,000 and above portion of the smartphone market, accounting for 46% of the total market.On aglobal basis, overall smartphone shipments fell -7% YoY to 291 million units in Q2 2022. But Apple shipped 48 million iPhones worldwide, up +3% YoY, for 16% global market share in Q2 2022, as shown in Chart 1. This is the highest second quarter market share for Apple over the past 10 years, at the expense of leading Chinese brands who were hampered by the sluggish performance in both home and overseas market. Apple had a good quarter, led by iPhone 13 series which continued to ramp up volumes in US, China and other key markets, according to the company.Strategy AnalyticsChart 1Will Dour Economy Influence iPhone 14 Sales?Macroeconomic headwinds have been a challenge for investors, particularly inflation. In the past month since Apple’s F3Q earnings call, these headwinds have abated somewhat. But the reasoning for moving up the Apple event Sept. 7 has raised speculation that it was done in light of the economic malaise impacting consumers prior to further negative news.I see the move as an opportunity for Apple tojump startits supply chain economically since its delivery schedule appears to be stable with no glitches. This strategy will financially help suppliers of components as concerns of layoffs and redundancies are on the horizon. It's also geared to app developers, many of which are small businesses.In the past two weeks on thepositive economic side:Consumer confidence reached 103.2 in August, an increase of 7.9 from the final reading of 95.3 for July.Producer prices fell 0.5% in July from the month before.Home prices jumped to a record high in the second quarterU.S. consumer sentiment rose in early August to 55.1, continuing its climb from a record low earlier this summer as inflation expectations improved.U.S. retail spending held steady in July, and excluding autos and gasoline, spending rose 0.7%.Initial jobless claims inched down to a seasonally adjusted 250,000 last week, a sign the labor market is holding up.Employers in the U.S. added about 462,000 more jobs in the year through March than the Labor Department originally estimated.U.S. GDP fell less than previously thought in second quarter, contracting at a 0.6% annual rate from April to June, down from an initial 0.9% rate earlier.On the not-so-positive side:Durable-goods orders unchanged in July, as businesses pulled back on orders for long-lasting goods, reflecting a cooling in demand amid other signs of a slowing U.S. economy.Consumer spending inched up 0.1% in July as inflation remained near a four-decade high.New applications for unemployment benefits, which edged higher to 262,000 last week, have been on an upward trend since reaching a 50-year low in March.Housing starts in the U.S. declined 9.6% in July from the month before as high inflation and higher mortgage rates make it more expensive to build and buy property.U.S. existing home sales fell in July for the sixth straight month, the longest streak of declines in more than eight years, as higher mortgage rates and a shortage of homes for sale are cooling the market.Businesses pulled back on orders for long-lasting goods, reflecting a cooling in demand amid other signs of a slowing U.S. economy.Keep in mind that the above issues are for the U.S. economy, and globally they could be very different. TheConference Boardforecasts global GDP growth of 2.7 percent for 2022 and 1.7 percent for 2023.Given stronger-than-expected Q2 data and upward revisions to Q1, forecasts for the full year 2022 are revised upward for the Euro Area. But as headwinds are intensifying, the Conference Board lowered its 2023 GDP growth estimates.The full-year 2022 GDP growth projection for China was downgraded by 0.3 percentage points to account for a weaker-than-expected services recovery in the second half of the year.Investor TakeawayApple reported F3Q revenue of $63.4 billion with a June quarter revenue record for iPhone.At itsF3Q earnings call, according to Luca Maestri - SVP & CFO:“iPhone revenue grew 3% year-over-year to a June quarter record of $40.7 billion despite foreign exchange headwinds as customer response to our iPhone 13 family continue to be strong. We set June quarter records in both developed and emerging markets. And the iPhone active installed base reached a new all-time high across all geographies as a result of this level of sales performance combined with unmatched customer loyalty.”Table 2 shows Apple's revenues for FY2020 and FY2021 and my estimates for FY2022 to FY2024. I forecast that for FY2022 only the iPad will be impacted by the slowing demand for consumer electronics products. Other than that data metric, revenue for each product line will increase yearly.Apple’s services revenue reaching $112 billion in FY 2024. Importantly, services will grow to 25.6% of total revenues in FY2024, up from 18.7% in FY2021.Gross margin was guided sequentially lower (41.5-42.5% versus 43.3% in F3Q). Chart 2 shows Apple’s meteoric rise in gross margins over the past five-year period. In my opinion, the possibility of a guided drop holds less significance given it rose from 38% over the previous four years.Chart 2My main concern is that despite a positive scenario I presented in this article, technology stock performance continues to be strongly correlated with the 10-year Treasury Rate. I discussed this in detail in my July 1, 2022, Seeking Alpha article entitled “Why Are Tech Stocks Selling Off And What Is The Outlook?”Chart 3 shows this correlation with Apple shares. U.S. Treasury yields rose again after Fed Chair Powell signaled further interest rate hikes last week. Uncertainty remains high over the course of inflation, energy prices, the war in Ukraine, and economic policy in China. That has resulted in a corresponding drop in Apple shares.Chart 3While the 10-year Treasury Rate is increasing and responsible for technology shares decreasing, the two-year Treasury Rate is increasing faster. As shown in Chart 4, this has resulted in an inverted yield curve, with the 10-2 year spread at -0.30%.Chart 4An inverted yield curve occurs when near-term risks increase. Investors demand relatively greater compensation from shorter-term Treasuries, and long-term expectations for the economy sour.There have been six major US recessions, defined byat least two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, since 1976. Represented by gray panels in the below chart, all six recessions were preceded by the 10-2 spread going negative, and each recession occurred less than two years after the 10-2 spread first inverted.Apple’s Sept. 7 iPhone 14 event will provide the press with information on increments of performance improvements beyond the iPhone 13. That seems to be standard operating procedure for Apple with each iteration of iPhone announced. However, it's the backdrop of this event that provides details about the health of the company amid macroeconomic concerns.My attempts to “think outside the box” suggest to readers that the “bright spots” in Apple’s timing of the event (a positive) and its ancillary performance in iPhone shipments and market shares (a positive) are a buying opportunity for investors.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":197,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9997770103,"gmtCreate":1661865729503,"gmtModify":1676536592663,"author":{"id":"3572228950547010","authorId":"3572228950547010","name":"Footixx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/286a694c51da40f13325f2f7cd6b8851","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3572228950547010","idStr":"3572228950547010"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"💰","listText":"💰","text":"💰","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9997770103","repostId":"1130099156","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1130099156","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1661860623,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1130099156?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-30 19:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Pre-Bell｜Dow Futures Pop 200 Points; BBBY Stock Surges 11%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1130099156","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"U.S. stock index futures rose on Tuesday after a rough start to the week on fears of aggressive rate","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>U.S. stock index futures rose on Tuesday after a rough start to the week on fears of aggressive rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, with investors looking ahead to consumer confidence and jobs data later in the day.</p><h2><b>Market Snapshot</b></h2><p>At 7:50 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis were up 196 points, or 0.61%, S&amp;P 500 e-minis were up 29.75 points, or 0.74%, and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were up 127.25 points, or 1.02%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0be3a3b3b9f9c1aaf055853876f37775\" tg-width=\"465\" tg-height=\"240\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><h2><b>Pre-Market Movers</b></h2><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BBY\">Best Buy </a> – Best Buy gained 2.6% in the premarket after the electronic retailer beat Street forecasts on the top and bottom lines for its latest quarter, while comparable store sales declined less than expected.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BIG\">Big Lots </a> – The discount retailer reported a smaller-than-expected quarterly loss and better-than-expected revenue.

Legendary investor George Soros has believed for manyyears that excess on the upside leads to excess on the downside. QQQ could fall much, much further as the excess drains out of its valuation. History has shown that when the CAPE ratio reaches 60, real returns for the following 15 years settle around negative 4% per annum:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7bc80a1f57b8dfee7b03b2b120bca92d\" tg-width=\"838\" tg-height=\"532\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>CAPE Ratio Vs. Real Returns (Lyn Alden)</p><h3>All Aboard The Hype Train</h3><p>If there&#39;s one thing that&#39;s worked over the past decade, it was holding U.S. tech stocks. Thus, the outperformance of QQQ, which has 50% of its holdings in information technology and another 30% or so in communication and consumer tech.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9edb873b2feb324ecda807b382f4ee2e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"304\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>QQQ&#39;s Sector Allocations (Invesco)</p><p>Invesco advertises this ETF by pointing out its track record of outperformance and its trading volume:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ff0af3bad598a067897135ce8fbc3795\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"175\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>QQQ ETF (Invesco)</p><p>The problem is, tech stocks outperformed massively before the dot com bubble burst. Following the implosion of 2000, it took more than 15 years for the Nasdaq 100 to recover its losses:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/41f19d55e2420774df33a2ea218d39de\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"802\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>QQQ data by YCharts</p><p>In fact, the reason QQQ has outperformed over the past 15 years is because tech underperformed from 2000 to 2010, in my opinion. This meant there were huge bargains in the sector as everyone was depressed about tech stocks. So you can see, you don&#39;t want to buy what&#39;s done well recently, in fact, you want to do just the opposite. We&#39;ve studied several investors who outperformed the market over multiple decades, from Warren Buffett, to Carl Icahn, to Sir John Templeton, to Howard Marks. They all had one thing in common, they bought when there was blood in the streets. QQQ is concentrated in the hottest sectors of the past 5 years, and that&#39;s not where you want to hunt for outsized returns:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/66e2ddbe72a70d8cddbdf93fc4d34160\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"261\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Sector Performance (Fidelity)</p><p>The average S&amp;P 500 company survives only20 years, and for tech stocks, that lifespan could be even shorter as these businesses face brutal competition, and the industry is constantly changing. If we look at businesses that survived for more than200 years, we get banks like JPMorgan Chase (JPM), chemical companies like DuPont (DD), and consumer staples companies like Colgate-Palmolive (CL). These are simple and predictable businesses in industries that enjoy a very slow pace of change.</p><p>It&#39;s About To Get Ugly</p><p><b>QQQ&#39;s Top 10 Holdings</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/597aa9aae54335b405a9cef0e95951a2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"290\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>QQQ&#39;s Top 10 Holdings (Invesco)</p><p>We&#39;ve analyzed many of QQQ&#39;s top holdings individually, including <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple </a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft </a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon </a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla </a>, Google (GOOG) (GOOGL), <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta </a>, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/COST\">Costco </a>. Marked in red above are our expected annual returns for each business, with a 10-year time horizon. Overall, this equates to a 4% expected annual return for QQQ&#39;s top holdings. In other words, you could get an inflation adjusted return of 0% per annum holding these stocks.</p><p>History has shown the market tends to swing from overly optimistic to overly pessimistic. Legendary investor George Soros coined this the boom-bust model. He believed that excessive margin, speculation, and exuberance on the upside creates excessive insolvency, fear, and selling on the downside. In other words, the larger the boom, the larger the bust. So, what do you think comes next for QQQ? If we had to wager, we&#39;d bet on an excessive bust.</p><h3>Risks To The Thesis</h3><p>Crazy things can go on longer than you expect. In 1989, the PE of the Japanese index reached 60x earnings. The Nasdaq 100 is still nowhere near this level. Enthusiasm can always return in the short-run.</p><p>Also, while Sir John Templeton has cautioned against saying &#34;this time is different,&#34; he conceded that 20% of the time it really is different. Technology stocks have defied gravity up to this point. And, holding a diversified group of technology stocks with a 30-year time horizon isn&#39;t a terrible idea. We&#39;ve seen many of these businesses develop enduring moats and compound at a rapid pace for an extended period of time. An asset-light model and rapidly growing industry is generally a good place to be. Technology should be a part of everyone&#39;s portfolio, at the right valuation.</p><p>Our Valuation</p><p>The Nasdaq 100 has aPE ratio of 27.2, but its earnings could still be at a cyclical peak, as evidenced by its much higher CAPE ratio. This means QQQ likely has earnings per share around $11.78. Looking at the aggregate of several QQQ businesses we&#39;ve analyzed, combined with the cheaper, but slower growing businesses that round out the QQQ ETF, we believe EPS will grow at 8% per annum in the decade ahead. This growth should outpace the S&amp;P 500&#39;s EPS, but the valuation is more stretched than the S&amp;P.</p><p>Our 2032 price target for QQQ is $445 per share, implying returns of 4% per annum with dividends reinvested.</p><ul><li>Growing QQQ&#39;s EPS at 8% per annum, we get $25.43 per share in 2032. We&#39;ve assigned a terminal multiple of 17.5x as we believe growth will slow slightly in the decade that follows. Keep in mind, this is a base-case scenario.</li></ul><h3>The Bottom Line</h3><p>The risk and reward is unfavorable for QQQ, and some of the exuberance we saw on the upside could reverse on the downside. It&#39;s possible you get inflation-adjusted returns of 0% per annum even after holding for 10 years. With such long-duration cash flows, QQQ is very susceptible to an increase in interest rates.</p><p><b>What To Do About It</b></p><p>We&#39;re projecting higher returns in communication companies like Meta and Google than other names in this ETF. Interestingly, communication services has been the worst performing sector of the past 5 years. There&#39;s despondency here, and with despondency comes the potential for outsized returns. For ETF investors, we recommend Vanguard Communication Services ETF (VOX).

Legendary investor George Soros has believed for manyyears that excess on the upside leads to excess on the downside. QQQ could fall much, much further as the excess drains out of its valuation. History has shown that when the CAPE ratio reaches 60, real returns for the following 15 years settle around negative 4% per annum:CAPE Ratio Vs. Real Returns (Lyn Alden)All Aboard The Hype TrainIf there's one thing that's worked over the past decade, it was holding U.S. tech stocks. Thus, the outperformance of QQQ, which has 50% of its holdings in information technology and another 30% or so in communication and consumer tech.QQQ's Sector Allocations (Invesco)Invesco advertises this ETF by pointing out its track record of outperformance and its trading volume:QQQ ETF (Invesco)The problem is, tech stocks outperformed massively before the dot com bubble burst. Following the implosion of 2000, it took more than 15 years for the Nasdaq 100 to recover its losses:QQQ data by YChartsIn fact, the reason QQQ has outperformed over the past 15 years is because tech underperformed from 2000 to 2010, in my opinion. This meant there were huge bargains in the sector as everyone was depressed about tech stocks. So you can see, you don't want to buy what's done well recently, in fact, you want to do just the opposite. We've studied several investors who outperformed the market over multiple decades, from Warren Buffett, to Carl Icahn, to Sir John Templeton, to Howard Marks. They all had one thing in common, they bought when there was blood in the streets. QQQ is concentrated in the hottest sectors of the past 5 years, and that's not where you want to hunt for outsized returns:Sector Performance (Fidelity)The average S&P 500 company survives only20 years, and for tech stocks, that lifespan could be even shorter as these businesses face brutal competition, and the industry is constantly changing. If we look at businesses that survived for more than200 years, we get banks like JPMorgan Chase (JPM), chemical companies like DuPont (DD), and consumer staples companies like Colgate-Palmolive (CL). These are simple and predictable businesses in industries that enjoy a very slow pace of change.It's About To Get UglyQQQ's Top 10 HoldingsQQQ's Top 10 Holdings (Invesco)We've analyzed many of QQQ's top holdings individually, including Apple , Microsoft , Amazon , Tesla , Google (GOOG) (GOOGL), Meta , and Costco . Marked in red above are our expected annual returns for each business, with a 10-year time horizon. Overall, this equates to a 4% expected annual return for QQQ's top holdings. In other words, you could get an inflation adjusted return of 0% per annum holding these stocks.History has shown the market tends to swing from overly optimistic to overly pessimistic. Legendary investor George Soros coined this the boom-bust model. He believed that excessive margin, speculation, and exuberance on the upside creates excessive insolvency, fear, and selling on the downside. In other words, the larger the boom, the larger the bust. So, what do you think comes next for QQQ? If we had to wager, we'd bet on an excessive bust.Risks To The ThesisCrazy things can go on longer than you expect. In 1989, the PE of the Japanese index reached 60x earnings. The Nasdaq 100 is still nowhere near this level. Enthusiasm can always return in the short-run.Also, while Sir John Templeton has cautioned against saying \"this time is different,\" he conceded that 20% of the time it really is different. Technology stocks have defied gravity up to this point. And, holding a diversified group of technology stocks with a 30-year time horizon isn't a terrible idea. We've seen many of these businesses develop enduring moats and compound at a rapid pace for an extended period of time. An asset-light model and rapidly growing industry is generally a good place to be. Technology should be a part of everyone's portfolio, at the right valuation.Our ValuationThe Nasdaq 100 has aPE ratio of 27.2, but its earnings could still be at a cyclical peak, as evidenced by its much higher CAPE ratio. This means QQQ likely has earnings per share around $11.78. Looking at the aggregate of several QQQ businesses we've analyzed, combined with the cheaper, but slower growing businesses that round out the QQQ ETF, we believe EPS will grow at 8% per annum in the decade ahead. This growth should outpace the S&P 500's EPS, but the valuation is more stretched than the S&P.Our 2032 price target for QQQ is $445 per share, implying returns of 4% per annum with dividends reinvested.Growing QQQ's EPS at 8% per annum, we get $25.43 per share in 2032. We've assigned a terminal multiple of 17.5x as we believe growth will slow slightly in the decade that follows. Keep in mind, this is a base-case scenario.The Bottom LineThe risk and reward is unfavorable for QQQ, and some of the exuberance we saw on the upside could reverse on the downside. It's possible you get inflation-adjusted returns of 0% per annum even after holding for 10 years. With such long-duration cash flows, QQQ is very susceptible to an increase in interest rates.What To Do About ItWe're projecting higher returns in communication companies like Meta and Google than other names in this ETF. Interestingly, communication services has been the worst performing sector of the past 5 years. There's despondency here, and with despondency comes the potential for outsized returns.

Analysts, in the meantime, are screaming Buy ahead of its Q2 numbers on September 7.Smart EV maker NIO Inc.  has provided an update on its independent internal review of the allegations made by short-seller Grizzly Research in June about the company exaggerating its numbers. In response, NIO had set up an independent committee of its Board of directors to review the allegations. The committee had also roped in an international law firm and a forensic accounting firm to assist in the process.The review is now “substantially” complete, and the committee has “concluded that these allegations were not substantiated.”When Do NIO Earnings Come Out?In another development, NIO is set to report its second-quarter numbers before the market opens on September 7. The Street expects NIO to report a net loss per share of $0.17 for the period.In the last eight quarters, NIO has failed to surpass consensus estimates only three times. In the comparable year-ago period, it reported a net loss per share of $0.06 versus the analysts’ expectations of a net loss per share of $0.09.Furthermore, the company is gearing up to hit the Chinese market with its ES7 SUV and the European market with its ET7 electric sedan. The vehicle deliveries in Europe could potentially boost NIO’s numbers in the fourth quarter.Is NIO Stock a Buy?Shares of the company are up ~8% over the past five days, and analysts are seeing a further 62.4% upside based on a Strong Buy consensus rating and an averageNIO stock price targetof $33.04.

But compared to ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>One of the main pillars of the bearish thesis on Apple stock is the rich valuation. But compared to the peer group, maybe AAPL is not so pricey after all.</p><p><b>Apple</b> stock is considered a buy by the majority of analysts that cover the name. According to TipRanks, more than 80% of Wall Street experts think that owning shares is a good idea, while only one analyst has a sell rating on the stock.</p><p>Among skeptics, one of the main arguments against owning AAPL is the elevated P/E ratio. But a closer look at the peer comparison suggests that Apple stock may be more affordable than many seem to believe.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/43a857803961118aaec24d329afbb569\" tg-width=\"1240\" tg-height=\"827\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Figure 1: Is Apple Stock Overvalued? What The Peer Comparison Says</span></p><p><b>Apple’s valuations: fair, too rich, or a bargain?</b></p><p>The following graph probably explains why so many value investors are cautious about Apple stock today. Notice what has happened to AAPL’s price-to-earnings (or P/E) ratio over the past 10 years:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0553c50e1e51280c4e0a5f50a0ab7313\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"485\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Figure 2: Apple&#39;s valuation.</span></p><p>Starting a couple of years after the launch of the original iPad, Apple’s P/E fluctuated between 10 and 20 times for a few years. Then, beginning in 2019, the valuation multiple skyrocketed to as high as 44 times early last year, settling now to just below 30 times.</p><p>The multiple expansion happened for a few reasons, the most relevant of which was probably Apple’s business model shift to higher-margin and more predictable services. The post-iPhone X success of Apple’s smartphone segment, along with the company’s generous cash return policy, probably helped too.</p><p>But tech companies, especially those in high growth stages of their lifecycles or whose “moats” are considered wide, tend to command high P/Es. Take a look at the following table comparing some of Apple’s key valuation metrics with those of peers selected by Stock Rover:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a113f08e69b46e338f58200da166c3f0\" tg-width=\"1002\" tg-height=\"278\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Figure 3: Apple peers key valuation metrics selected by Stock Rover.</span></p><p>Starting with P/E, in the sixth column, notice how AAPL’s 27.6 times is actually much lower than NVIDIA’s 46.1 and Adobe’s 40.1 times, for example. Part of the reason for AAPL’s more de-risked valuation is the growth profile: while the Cupertino company is expected to increase EPS by 6% next year, NVIDIA and Adobe should deliver growth of 17% instead.</p><p>The only companies on the list with substantially lower P/E vs. Apple are Intel and Cisco, possibly Broadcom. But considering these companies and their industries’ much less encouraging growth profile, it is understandable that these stocks would trade more cheaply.</p><p>Let’s look beyond P/E. On a price-to-FCF (free cash flow) basis, Apple’s 25.6 times multiple seems even cheaper compared to the peer group. Only Broadcom and Cisco, at about 16 times, look substantially more de-risked.</p><p>Apple’s cash flow-based valuation metrics look good because the Cupertino company is particularly competent at turning earnings into hard cash. Tight control of working capital and capex is probably what best supports the argument.</p><p>Lastly, notice how Apple looks quite overvalued on a price-to-book basis. A multiple of 46.1 times, in fact, is an eye sore compared to Salesforce.com’s 3.0 times and Intel’s 1.4 times.</p><p>But here, the metric is deceivingly distorted. Because Apple buys so many of its shares via stock buybacks, the company’s equity size has been shrinking quickly over the years – which is not a bad thing at all.

But compared to the peer group, maybe AAPL is not so pricey after all.Apple stock is considered a buy by the majority of analysts that cover the name. According to TipRanks, more than 80% of Wall Street experts think that owning shares is a good idea, while only one analyst has a sell rating on the stock.Among skeptics, one of the main arguments against owning AAPL is the elevated P/E ratio. But a closer look at the peer comparison suggests that Apple stock may be more affordable than many seem to believe.Figure 1: Is Apple Stock Overvalued? What The Peer Comparison SaysApple’s valuations: fair, too rich, or a bargain?The following graph probably explains why so many value investors are cautious about Apple stock today. Notice what has happened to AAPL’s price-to-earnings (or P/E) ratio over the past 10 years:Figure 2: Apple's valuation.Starting a couple of years after the launch of the original iPad, Apple’s P/E fluctuated between 10 and 20 times for a few years. Then, beginning in 2019, the valuation multiple skyrocketed to as high as 44 times early last year, settling now to just below 30 times.The multiple expansion happened for a few reasons, the most relevant of which was probably Apple’s business model shift to higher-margin and more predictable services. The post-iPhone X success of Apple’s smartphone segment, along with the company’s generous cash return policy, probably helped too.But tech companies, especially those in high growth stages of their lifecycles or whose “moats” are considered wide, tend to command high P/Es. Take a look at the following table comparing some of Apple’s key valuation metrics with those of peers selected by Stock Rover:Figure 3: Apple peers key valuation metrics selected by Stock Rover.Starting with P/E, in the sixth column, notice how AAPL’s 27.6 times is actually much lower than NVIDIA’s 46.1 and Adobe’s 40.1 times, for example. Part of the reason for AAPL’s more de-risked valuation is the growth profile: while the Cupertino company is expected to increase EPS by 6% next year, NVIDIA and Adobe should deliver growth of 17% instead.The only companies on the list with substantially lower P/E vs. Apple are Intel and Cisco, possibly Broadcom. But considering these companies and their industries’ much less encouraging growth profile, it is understandable that these stocks would trade more cheaply.Let’s look beyond P/E. On a price-to-FCF (free cash flow) basis, Apple’s 25.6 times multiple seems even cheaper compared to the peer group. Only Broadcom and Cisco, at about 16 times, look substantially more de-risked.Apple’s cash flow-based valuation metrics look good because the Cupertino company is particularly competent at turning earnings into hard cash. Tight control of working capital and capex is probably what best supports the argument.Lastly, notice how Apple looks quite overvalued on a price-to-book basis. A multiple of 46.1 times, in fact, is an eye sore compared to Salesforce.com’s 3.0 times and Intel’s 1.4 times.But here, the metric is deceivingly distorted. Because Apple buys so many of its shares via stock buybacks, the company’s equity size has been shrinking quickly over the years – which is not a bad thing at all. Since equity is the denominator in the P/B ratio, the multiple understandably looks too rich, on the surface.My views on AAPL’s valuationI still believe that Apple’s valuations are far from being a bargain. But at the same time, once I look at the peer group comparison, I find it hard to side with the bears as well. To me, AAPL’s P/E is fair and consistent with the robust business fundamentals of the company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":270,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9992577371,"gmtCreate":1661348862395,"gmtModify":1676536500980,"author":{"id":"3572228950547010","authorId":"3572228950547010","name":"Footixx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/286a694c51da40f13325f2f7cd6b8851","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3572228950547010","idStr":"3572228950547010"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"💰","listText":"💰","text":"💰","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9992577371","repostId":"2261630456","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2261630456","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1661331683,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2261630456?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-24 17:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Tesla's Stock Split Could Be a Bigger Deal Than Amazon's","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2261630456","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Stock splits are more effective when investors are eager to buy stocks than when they aren't.","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>KEY POINTS</h2><ul><li>Tesla appears likely to benefit more from positive market timing than Amazon did with its stock split.</li><li>The forthcoming $7,500 tax credit for purchasing Tesla electric vehicles should also buoy investors&#39; confidence.</li><li>While Tesla&#39;s stock split could provide a bigger catalyst than Amazon&#39;s did, Amazon&#39;s long-term prospects still appear to be better.</li></ul><p><b>Amazon</b> is bigger than <b>Tesla</b> in nearly every way.

He has no interest in having his name placed in print or pixels. And he is the one commentator I’m aware of who both turned aggressively bearish virtually at the all-time market peak in 2007, then in April began insisting that the March market lows would not be challenged, and that a new cyclical bull market had a long way to run.”\nThis broker’s dispatch to me in April 2009 — just weeks after the ultimate low of a wrenching 18-month bear market and terrifying global credit crisis — was a 12-page single-spaced argument that the financial crisis was over.  This was far from the consensus at the time. A November 2007 piece had called for a brutal bear market, a month after the S&P 500 hit a peak it wouldn’t revisit until 2013 and before most investors even had a bear market on their radar.\nThe intention of airing his views was not to create some gimmick or generate cheap intrigue, but simply to offer the well-grounded thoughts of professional free of institutional constraints or the need to sell investment products.\nBut it did capture readers’ attention and imagination, to the point that requests for updates of the Mystery Broker’s market take come constantly. I continue it strictly because so many readers and viewers have followed his work for years and like to keep up\nAnd, yes, the whole exercise drives some people nuts, whether they think it’s irresponsible (which makes no sense, he gets no benefit and doesn’t hype small stocks that could move in his favor) or insist it’s a fictional alter ego (untrue).\nMystery Broker’s approach\nHe became a broker in the mid-’80s. While there’s long been a guessing game about MB’s identity, he is not someone who’s name anyone would know, he doesn’t otherwise comment publicly on investments.\nAs noted back in 2009: “He doesn’t claim any magic formulas or proprietary systems. His approach is eclectic and inclusive, ranging among economic, technical, historical, valuation and sentiment inputs.” He’ll cite Marty Zweig, Ned Davis and the Value Line Appreciation Potential indicators – fairly old-school inspirations – but doesn’t seem rigidly attached to any one model or style.\nI almost never solicit Mystery Broker’s take, preferring he check in only when it strikes him, often when he changes his market stance or is moved to reiterate his conviction in a prior call. Aside from the broad market commentary, he’ll sometimes make the case for or against individual stocks. He loved wells Fargo to start 2021, as well as GE, for instance.\nMystery Broker sometimes goes deep on a controversial emerging biotech name, the sort of thing I tend not to pass along. He was put off by CNBC’s heavy coverage of the “meme stocks” early this year and let me know it. He and I both have strong views on baseball, which we exchange via email. We’ve never met.\nHow he navigated the pandemic\nIn the past few months, Mystery Broker has been cautious on stocks and has missed a bit of upside. Specifically, he went to a sell (which tends to mean raising cash for clients and himself and hedging equity holdings with index puts) at the close on April 16, with the S&P 500 at 4185. The index went sideways for two months, then lifted to last week’s record up almost 5% from where he called for a correction.\nStill, he’s playing with a lot of house money, having been deftly bullish into the teeth of the March 2020 Covid crash. (He was negative on the market from January last year, though not because he expected either a pandemic or a crash).\nThe individual calls are viewable at the #MysteryBroker hashtag on Twitter, but to cite a few examples: He thought the March 4, 2020, low in the S&P 500 near 2900 would hold; it absolutely didn’t, plunging to about 2200 by the 23rd. But on March 26 he said the bottom was in, and within a month the S&P had recovered back to 2900.\nThen, this in mid-April 2020: He would normally look for a retest of the major low, but not then: ”“Because for the first time in stock market history the consensus is for a retest, a normal retest is not likely to happen.”\nThis was right, as was his preference for riskier cyclical stocks and his update June of last year: “We are in a new bull market...every correction should be bought...every time S&P 500 falls below its 50-day moving average is an extraordinary buying opportunity.”\nS&P 500 with 50-day moving averageFactSet\nAfter that and before predicting a correction three months ago that has yet to occur, he pegged the peak in FAANMG days before they topped last Sept. 1; said in late December the market had “entered the last hurrah for growth and speculative stocks” that would pressure the  overall market but not necessarily drive across-the-board losses; and predicted bitcoin would peak coincident with the Coinbase listing (it did). Not perfect, but not bad.\nHis current outlook\nHis is not a system, but a weight-of-the-evidence approach pursued with an open mind and a feel for market cadences earned over more than three decades of economic cycles.\nFollowing up onhis latest update this week, I asked for a broader take on historical echoes and longer-term probabilities. Mystery Broker offers this:\n“I think the current recovery is most similar to the recovery in 2003-04.  A big transition from hyper-growth to value.  Also, valuations are already high after only one year of stock market and economic growth similar to 2003-4, although more extreme now. ” He expects “muted returns for the rest of decade similar to the low returns of the first decade of the 2000s.  See leadership from industrials, healthcare and to some degree financials.”\n“Don’t expect technology to be a big outperformer and semiconductors will be a disappointment especially equipment semis that have benefitted from a few big trends over the last few years. Value, foreign stocks (expect dollar to fall over the next few years) and equal-weighted indices will outperform.  Inflation and interest rates will slowly rise which is different from the last decade.\n“The big surprise will be how old industries adapt to new technology and fight off some of the hot new entries.  There will be a lot of rebounds similar to how the New York Times came back from the dead last decade.”\nI also asked if he’s interested in being identified. The answer: not now, but maybe soon.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":19,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9096363439,"gmtCreate":1644307657322,"gmtModify":1676533910912,"author":{"id":"3572228950547010","authorId":"3572228950547010","name":"Footixx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/286a694c51da40f13325f2f7cd6b8851","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572228950547010","authorIdStr":"3572228950547010"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9096363439","repostId":"1197694678","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1197694678","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1644304803,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1197694678?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-02-08 15:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"BP records highest profit in eight years in 2021","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1197694678","media":"Reuters","summary":"LONDON, Feb 8 (Reuters) - BP reported on Tuesday a profit of $12.8 billion in 2021, the highest in e","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>LONDON, Feb 8 (Reuters) - BP reported on Tuesday a profit of $12.8 billion in 2021, the highest in eight years, as natural gas and oil prices soared and the global economy recovered from the pandemic slump.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/920920b090904c57d443715467231798\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"800\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>The BP logo is seen at a BP gas station in Manhattan, New York City, U.S., November 24, 2021.</span></p><p>BP&#39;s underlying replacement cost profit, the company&#39;s definition of net earnings, reached $4.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021, exceeding analysts&#39;

However, these troubles are transitory, and its stock split significantly adds to its attractiveness.Tesla (TSLA) is the world’s biggest automaker by market cap, but where does it stand today? Tesla’s shares shed around 9% on Friday after Musk shared his concerns regarding the economic meltdown with employees. TSLA stock took another hit on Monday and dropped by 4.8%. These shocks, though, will have little impact on Tesla’s long-term growth story.Growth stocks such as TSLA continue to struggle due to the continual increase in inflation rates. High inflation has resulted in the highest interest rates in years, leading to a healthy increase in the cost of car loans.The Oracle Of Omaha, Warren Buffet, has repeatedly mentioned that “interest rates act as a gravity to asset prices,” which happens to be the cause of the TSLA’s suffering.Nevertheless, Tesla has been one of the largest automotive companies. It consistently reported market-beating results and has been the pick of the EV stocks. Over the past five years, its revenues have grown over 53.44% with a healthy increase in earnings. Results of late have also been stellar, with year-over-year improvement in sales at over 73%. Moreover, its free cash flow margin has also improved by triple-digits.However, is inflation the only reason TSLA has declined? Or is there more to the downside of the stock than just the high inflation and higher interest rates? Let’s take a look.On TipRanks, TSLA scores a 2 out of 10 on the Smart Score spectrum. This indicates a high potential for the stock to underperform the broader market.Employee Layoffs – Bad News for TeslaNews website, Electrek, acquired a leaked email that Musk shared with company employees. The email showed that Tesla had a “tough quarter” and that the company planned to downsize the workforce by 10%.The email also mentioned that the company planned to “pause hiring worldwide,” which entails that Tesla will significantly reduce the thousands of open positions it was advertising when the email was dispatched.In contrast, it is interesting to note that Tesla isn’t new to layoffs. The company reduced the workforce by 7% in 2019 and managed to sustain incredible growth. Given how Tesla dealt with layoffs earlier, there’s a probability that the company might benefit from the downsizing.Along with this, China’s decision to extend the lockdown has created supply chain issues for Tesla, and Musk is evidently ringing the panic button on the U.S. economy. However, the company is of the belief that China will ease lockdowns that will rectify the demand-supply imbalance.A Brighter FutureRecently, Tesla submitted an annual proxy statement and released its proposal for a 3 for 1 stock split. The stock split is intended to allow for employees to more easily scoop up company shares. In addition, Tesla believes that this decision will reset the common stock price and make it more accessible to individual tradersMany companies use stock splits when stock prices are exorbitant, such as the case with Tesla. TSLA stock had been trading at a nosebleed valuation which had made it almost uninvestable. The recent market downturn has reduced the frothiness of the EV market, and the stock split will further reduce the stock price to more attractive levels.Furthermore, Musk plans on utilizing Tesla shares to acquire Twitter and reduce his stake in the company to augment financing. The stock split will have little to no impact on Tesla’s fundamentals, but it will allow investors to buy the stock by stabilizing the share price.Wall Street’s TakeTurning to Wall Street, TSLA stock maintains a Moderate Buy rating. Out of 30 total analyst ratings; 16 Buys, eight Holds, and six Sell ratings were assigned over the past three months.The average TSLA price target is $917.10, implying 38.39% upside potential. Analyst price targets range from a low of $67 per share to a high of $1,580 per share.Bottom Line – Is Tesla a Buy?Tesla is expected to grow sales and experience rapid growth in the next 12 months. In the first quarter of 2022, Tesla enjoyed an earnings per share of $3.22, with sales rising by 81%. Moreover, with the substantial reduction in its stock price, it offers an attractive risk/reward.Aside from the supply chain issues and Musk’s rocky Twitter acquisition saga, the volatility in the U.S. economy has affected TSLA. Moreover, its lofty price multiples haven’t helped either. Nevertheless, the EV titan’s long-term bull case remains intact.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":173,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9083649471,"gmtCreate":1650115441157,"gmtModify":1676534650133,"author":{"id":"3572228950547010","authorId":"3572228950547010","name":"Footixx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/286a694c51da40f13325f2f7cd6b8851","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572228950547010","authorIdStr":"3572228950547010"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9083649471","repostId":"1111229127","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1111229127","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1650066699,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1111229127?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-16 07:51","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Antitrust Risk a Big Concern With Microsoft Stock?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1111229127","media":"investorplace","summary":"The success of its Azure cloud unit has been a big factor behind Microsoft (MSFT) stock’s winning pe","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>The success of its Azure cloud unit has been a big factor behind Microsoft (MSFT) stock’s winning performance.</li><li>But now, a recent headline suggests its under scrutiny from regulators over some of this unit’s business practices in Europe.</li><li>Even if the “worst case scenario” plays out, don’t expect it to derail MSFT stock.</li></ul><p>As a trillion-dollar company, barely a day goes by without news from or about Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT).

Still beaten down by this year’s market volatility, keep it on your watchlist.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":21,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":899383810,"gmtCreate":1628160222230,"gmtModify":1703502302718,"author":{"id":"3572228950547010","authorId":"3572228950547010","name":"Footixx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/286a694c51da40f13325f2f7cd6b8851","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572228950547010","authorIdStr":"3572228950547010"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"??","listText":"??","text":"??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/899383810","repostId":"1137856453","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":42,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":155446916,"gmtCreate":1625450707535,"gmtModify":1703741931519,"author":{"id":"3572228950547010","authorId":"3572228950547010","name":"Footixx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/286a694c51da40f13325f2f7cd6b8851","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572228950547010","authorIdStr":"3572228950547010"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/155446916","repostId":"1101940002","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1101940002","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1625449020,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1101940002?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-05 09:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Goldman has some option plays to trade the start of earnings season","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1101940002","media":"CNBC","summary":"Corporate earnings season is set to pick up steam later this month, and investors can prepare by buy","content":"<div>\n<p>Corporate earnings season is set to pick up steam later this month, and investors can prepare by buying options for several major stocks, according to Goldman Sachs.\nThe firm’s derivatives research ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/04/goldman-has-some-option-plays-to-trade-the-start-of-earnings-season.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The options suggested are call options, which give the trader the chance to buy a stock at a set price before the expiration date.\nWith call options, traders can make money when the stock price exceeds the option’s strike price. The risk to the trader is capped at the cost of the premium paid to purchase the option. Call options with strike prices that are close to or even below the current price tend to carry higher premiums.\nThe first pick from Goldman’s team isMorgan Stanley. The bank stock has been roughly flat over the past month and has a quiet outlook among options traders, creating upside in case of a positive surprise, Goldman said.\n“MS one month implied volatility of 27 is in its 36th percentile relative to the past two years and only 2 points above one month realized volatility. The stock has underperformed the broad S&P 500 by 7% over the past month (-1% vs XLF), driving up the potential for a reversion in performance following earnings,” the note said.Goldman recommended buying the $91 calls for Morgan Stanley that expire July 21. The stock was already trading slightly above that strike price on Friday.\nThe bank is scheduled to report its second quarter earnings on July 15.\nAnother interesting options play with upcoming earnings isPepsiCo. The snack and beverage company could report better-than-expected results on July 13 and forecast stronger growth in the months ahead, according to Goldman.\n“At the earnings call, [Goldman analyst Bonnie Herzog] sees potential for more bullish commentary for the rest of the year, while longer term, she sees PEP well positioned for growth, given its strong brand portfolio (esp. Frito Lay) and long-term opportunities in Beverages,” the note said.\nShares of PepsiCo have barely budged in 2021, and were trading just under $150 per share on Friday. Goldman recommended buying the $147 per share calls that expire on July 21.\n-CNBC’s Michael Bloom contributed to this report.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":31,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":132545753,"gmtCreate":1622103147272,"gmtModify":1704179506962,"author":{"id":"3572228950547010","authorId":"3572228950547010","name":"Footixx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/286a694c51da40f13325f2f7cd6b8851","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572228950547010","authorIdStr":"3572228950547010"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Palantir ?","listText":"Palantir ?","text":"Palantir ?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/132545753","repostId":"1156279615","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1156279615","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622102381,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1156279615?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-27 15:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Buy Palantir Stock to Invest in the Real World Batman","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1156279615","media":"investorplace","summary":"The first time my team and I looked intoPalantir(NYSE:PLTR) stock, all of us thought: “Wow, this sur","content":"<p>The first time my team and I looked into<b>Palantir</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>) stock, all of us thought: “Wow, this sure looks a lot like the cool technology that Batman uses in movies to track down bad guys.” The deeper we dug intoPalantir’sGotham and Foundry products, the more we discovered that, indeed, Palantir<i>is</i>building<b>Batman-like tech for governments and enterprises</b>.</p><p>No joke.

Especially those who want tolook past the market noiseand insteadinvest in the big trends reshaping our world.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":166,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9998995013,"gmtCreate":1660915090334,"gmtModify":1676536422580,"author":{"id":"3572228950547010","authorId":"3572228950547010","name":"Footixx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/286a694c51da40f13325f2f7cd6b8851","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572228950547010","authorIdStr":"3572228950547010"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"😱","listText":"😱","text":"😱","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9998995013","repostId":"2260493813","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2260493813","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1660912911,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2260493813?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-19 20:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Movie-Theater Stocks Fall after Reported Step toward Bankruptcy by Cineworld","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2260493813","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Shares of movie theater operators fell in premarket trading Friday, after The Wall Street Journal re","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Shares of movie theater operators fell in premarket trading Friday, after The Wall Street Journal reported that U.K. cinema chain Cineworld Group <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PLC\">PLC</a> , the parent of Regal Entertainment Group, was preparing to file for bankruptcy.</p><p>The WSJ report follows Cineworld&#39;s disclosure earlier this week that it was evaluating options for additional liquidity and a balance sheet restructuring.

The market has recovered from temporary dips to print new all-time highs with 100% precision over the past century. Investors could buy low-volatility stocks to manage the tension triggered by bouts of market turbulence.</p><p>Once again, turbulence has returned to the stock market in 2022. High inflation, threats of rising interest rates, rising employment costs and rising geopolitical risks trigger market corrections as investors flee to safety.</p><p>It’s beneficial to focus on adding low volatility stocks to your core portfolio. Stable investment positions may dampen risk while maintaining respectable growth potential to improve your chances of meeting long-term investment objectives.</p><p>Shares in profitable mature businesses with notable competitive advantages, steady growth rates and positive cash flows are valuable in mitigating portfolio risks.</p><p>Such stocks should historically have been less volatile than the broad equities market. One mathematical measure called the beta can help screen for low volatility stocks.</p><p>A beta of 1.0 indicates a stock that rises and falls perfectly with the market index. A beta reading above 1.0 indicates higher volatility.

The market has recovered from temporary dips to print new all-time highs with 100% precision over the past century. Investors could buy low-volatility stocks to manage the tension triggered by bouts of market turbulence.Once again, turbulence has returned to the stock market in 2022. High inflation, threats of rising interest rates, rising employment costs and rising geopolitical risks trigger market corrections as investors flee to safety.It’s beneficial to focus on adding low volatility stocks to your core portfolio. Stable investment positions may dampen risk while maintaining respectable growth potential to improve your chances of meeting long-term investment objectives.Shares in profitable mature businesses with notable competitive advantages, steady growth rates and positive cash flows are valuable in mitigating portfolio risks.Such stocks should historically have been less volatile than the broad equities market. One mathematical measure called the beta can help screen for low volatility stocks.A beta of 1.0 indicates a stock that rises and falls perfectly with the market index. A beta reading above 1.0 indicates higher volatility. A stock beta of less than 1.0 indicates shares have been relatively been more stable than the market.Thus, stocks with low volatility and low beta readings could do well as market turbulence heightens in 2022. They reduce the risk of missing investing targets over the long term. They retain growth potential if the underlying businesses retain growth prospects, profitability and keep generating positive cash flow.Here are seven potential low volatility stocks to buy for steady returns in 2022:Coca-Cola Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Texas Instruments Infosys Garmin Northrop Grumman Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A)、Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B)Low Volatility Stocks to Buy: Coca-Cola Source: MAHATHIR MOHD YASIN / Shutterstock.comA global leader in beverages manufacturing, the Coca-Cola Company retains strong moats and cash flow generation power across its business portfolios spread around the world.The company faces relatively low labor costs across its global workforce.

In the meantime, this company has to justify an $18.5 billion market cap, never having produced more than a billion dollars' worth of EBITDA in any four-quarter stretch and never having turned an annualized operating profit of more than $265 million in any four-quarter span -- even in its 2018 heyday.\nAt the very least, AMC investors should exercise caution. These investors should also start asking exactly how AMC is going to convince a bunch of consumers to fall out of love with streaming new releases at home.

The blue-chip index logged a seventh straight day of gains in its longest winning streak since August 2020. The Nasdaq also hit all-time intraday and closing highs, and the Dow gained to set its first record high since May 7. Shares of Tesla (TSLA) fluctuated before ending slightly higher after the electric car-maker's second-quarter deliveries hit a new record but still missed analysts' estimates, based on Bloomberg consensus data.</p>\n<p>Investorsconsidered the U.S. Labor Department's June jobs report, the central economic data point that came out this week. The print showed a stronger-than-anticipated acceleration in hiring, with non-farm payrolls rising by 850,000 for a sixth straight monthly gain. The unemployment rate, however, unexpectedly ticked up slightly to 5.9%.</p>\n<p>\"This is the 'Goldilocks report' that the market was looking for today. You had a nice print here of 850,000 jobs being added, wage pressure remaining — I wouldn't call them necessarily contained — but surprising here on the downside versus consensus estimates. So this is telling us right now that economic growth is continuing to accelerate here, the jobs market is continuing to heal,\" Emily Roland, co-chief investment strategist at John Hancock Investment Management, told Yahoo Finance. \"We're making progress here in terms of what the Fed has set out to do, which is in order to get unemployment get down, they're going to let inflation run a little bit hot here. Not too hot, not too cold — this is just what the market wants.\"</p>\n<p>Heading into the report, equities have been buoyed by a slew of strong economic data earlier this week, especially on the labor market.Private payrolls rose by a better-than-expected 692,000 in June,according to ADP, andweekly initial jobless claims improved more than expectedto the lowest level since March 2020. Still, other reports underscored the still-prevalent labor supply challenges impacting companies across industries, with the scarcity capping what has otherwise been a robust economic rebound.</p>\n<p>\"It's really the labor market supply that's putting the brake on hiring right now,\" Luke Tilley, chief economist for Wilmington Trust, told Yahoo Finance. \"But we're pretty optimistic, the market is pretty optimistic, and we think that's a big part of what's driving these indexes higher.\"</p>\n<p>Friday's jobs report will also give markets a suggestion as to the timing of the Federal Reserve's next monetary policy move. For now, the Fed has kept in place both of its key crisis-era policies, or quantitative easing and a near-zero benchmark interest rate. However, an especially strong jobs report and faster-than-expected print on wage growth could justify an earlier-than-currently-telegraphed shift by the central bank.</p>\n<p>“For the first time in years, I’m actually worried about a too hot number causing some kind of volatility or pullback in stocks. That’s because the Fed has signaled they are looking to taper QE,\" Tom Essaye, Sevens Report Research founder,told Yahoo Finance. \"And if we get a really, really strong jobs number and a hot wage number, then markets are going to start to say gee, are they going to taper QE maybe before November, or are they going to taper it more intensely than we thought and in a market that's frankly been very calm and a little bit complacent, that could cause volatility.\"</p>\n<p>Still, the Fed has suggested it would not react rashly to single reports, and has given itself leeway to adjust the timeline of its monetary policy pivots as more data comes in.</p>\n<p>\"I think everyone's counting on the Fed continuing really for the foreseeable future. So I don't see any big changes there coming before 2023,\" Octavio Marenzi, CEO and founder of Opimas,told Yahoo Finance.\"And even then the Fed has hedged its bets very significantly — they've basically said we might in 2023 raise interest rates twice, but then again we might not. So I think the smart money is betting things are going to keep on going, they're going to carry on with a very accommodative monetary policy.\"</p>\n<p>Even with the recent strength for stocks, market strategists say that uncertainty about the future of the Fed’s asset purchases and the upcoming earnings season could keep stocks from making major gains in the near term.</p>\n<p>“The market is still very much concerned about the Fed’s reaction function,” said Max Gokhman, head of asset allocation at Pacific Life Fund Advisors, adding that he thought there was still a lot of slack in the labor market.</p>\n<p>4:01 p.m. ET: Stocks close higher, S&amp;P 500 posts longest winning streak since August 2020</p>\n<p>Here's where markets closed out on Friday:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><p><b>S&amp;P 500 (^GSPC)</b>: +32.51 (+0.75%) to 4,352.45</p></li>\n <li><p><b>Dow (^DJI)</b>: +154.4 (+0.45%) to 34,787.93</p></li>\n <li><p><b>Nasdaq (^IXIC)</b>: +116.95 (+0.81%) to 14,639.33</p></li>\n</ul>","source":"lsy1584348713084","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The blue-chip index logged a seventh straight day of gains in its longest winning streak since August 2020. The Nasdaq also hit all-time intraday and closing highs, and the Dow gained to set its first record high since May 7. Shares of Tesla (TSLA) fluctuated before ending slightly higher after the electric car-maker's second-quarter deliveries hit a new record but still missed analysts' estimates, based on Bloomberg consensus data.\nInvestorsconsidered the U.S. Labor Department's June jobs report, the central economic data point that came out this week. The print showed a stronger-than-anticipated acceleration in hiring, with non-farm payrolls rising by 850,000 for a sixth straight monthly gain. The unemployment rate, however, unexpectedly ticked up slightly to 5.9%.\n\"This is the 'Goldilocks report' that the market was looking for today. You had a nice print here of 850,000 jobs being added, wage pressure remaining — I wouldn't call them necessarily contained — but surprising here on the downside versus consensus estimates. So this is telling us right now that economic growth is continuing to accelerate here, the jobs market is continuing to heal,\" Emily Roland, co-chief investment strategist at John Hancock Investment Management, told Yahoo Finance. \"We're making progress here in terms of what the Fed has set out to do, which is in order to get unemployment get down, they're going to let inflation run a little bit hot here. Not too hot, not too cold — this is just what the market wants.\"\nHeading into the report, equities have been buoyed by a slew of strong economic data earlier this week, especially on the labor market.Private payrolls rose by a better-than-expected 692,000 in June,according to ADP, andweekly initial jobless claims improved more than expectedto the lowest level since March 2020. Still, other reports underscored the still-prevalent labor supply challenges impacting companies across industries, with the scarcity capping what has otherwise been a robust economic rebound.\n\"It's really the labor market supply that's putting the brake on hiring right now,\" Luke Tilley, chief economist for Wilmington Trust, told Yahoo Finance. \"But we're pretty optimistic, the market is pretty optimistic, and we think that's a big part of what's driving these indexes higher.\"\nFriday's jobs report will also give markets a suggestion as to the timing of the Federal Reserve's next monetary policy move. For now, the Fed has kept in place both of its key crisis-era policies, or quantitative easing and a near-zero benchmark interest rate. However, an especially strong jobs report and faster-than-expected print on wage growth could justify an earlier-than-currently-telegraphed shift by the central bank.\n“For the first time in years, I’m actually worried about a too hot number causing some kind of volatility or pullback in stocks. That’s because the Fed has signaled they are looking to taper QE,\" Tom Essaye, Sevens Report Research founder,told Yahoo Finance. \"And if we get a really, really strong jobs number and a hot wage number, then markets are going to start to say gee, are they going to taper QE maybe before November, or are they going to taper it more intensely than we thought and in a market that's frankly been very calm and a little bit complacent, that could cause volatility.\"\nStill, the Fed has suggested it would not react rashly to single reports, and has given itself leeway to adjust the timeline of its monetary policy pivots as more data comes in.\n\"I think everyone's counting on the Fed continuing really for the foreseeable future. So I don't see any big changes there coming before 2023,\" Octavio Marenzi, CEO and founder of Opimas,told Yahoo Finance.\"And even then the Fed has hedged its bets very significantly — they've basically said we might in 2023 raise interest rates twice, but then again we might not. So I think the smart money is betting things are going to keep on going, they're going to carry on with a very accommodative monetary policy.\"\nEven with the recent strength for stocks, market strategists say that uncertainty about the future of the Fed’s asset purchases and the upcoming earnings season could keep stocks from making major gains in the near term.\n“The market is still very much concerned about the Fed’s reaction function,” said Max Gokhman, head of asset allocation at Pacific Life Fund Advisors, adding that he thought there was still a lot of slack in the labor market.\n4:01 p.m. ET: Stocks close higher, S&P 500 posts longest winning streak since August 2020\nHere's where markets closed out on Friday:\n\nS&P 500 (^GSPC): +32.51 (+0.75%) to 4,352.45\nDow (^DJI): +154.4 (+0.45%) to 34,787.93\nNasdaq (^IXIC): +116.95 (+0.81%) to 14,639.33","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":56,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
