decline in the Nasdaq Composite.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Last year was both financially and emotionally trying on investors. All three major U.S. stock indexes turned in their worst performance in 14 years, with the growth-focused <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> (^IXIC) bringing up the caboose. The index responsible for lifting the broader market to record highs in 2021 lost a third of its value last year.</p><p>While nothing quite prepares investors for a major stock index shedding 33% of its value in 12 months, there is a silver lining: No matter how painful short-term downdrafts are in the market, they&#39;re always, eventually, erased by a bull market rally. For investors with time on their side, bear markets are a golden buying opportunity.</p><p>Although growth stocks have been in focus for more than a decade, value stocks are looking particularly intriguing during the Nasdaq bear market. What follows are three tantalizing value stocks that have the catalysts necessary to double your money by 2026.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WBA\">Walgreens Boots Alliance</a>: Forward-year price-to-earnings ratio of 7.7</h2><p>The first phenomenal value stock with triple-digit return potential for investors over the next four years is pharmacy chain <b>Walgreens Boots Alliance</b>.</p><p>For the majority of healthcare stocks, recessions and economic downturns are mostly a nonevent. Since no one can control when they become ill, there&#39;s always a need for prescription drugs, medical devices, and a variety of healthcare services.</p><p>But because Walgreens is dependent on its brick-and-mortar locations for most of its revenue, lockdowns tied to the COVID-19 pandemic walloped its operating results. With that tough period now in the rearview mirror, investors can scoop up shares of Walgreens at a discount.</p><p>Aside from a once-in-a-century event that&#39;s made Walgreens Boots Alliance stock inexpensive, the company is also undertaking a multiyear transformation designed to lift its organic growth rate, boost operating efficiency, and increase customer loyalty. One way it&#39;s doing this is by spending big on digitization efforts. Promoting the convenience of online sales, as well as refining its supply chains, are simple ways the company can promote organic growth and improve its operating margin.</p><p>Additionally, Walgreens is steadily shifting more of its net sales toward healthcare services. It&#39;s become a majority owner in VillageMD, with the duo opening 200 colocated, full-service health clinics, as of Nov. 30, 2022. The expectation is for 1,000 of these clinics to be open in more than 30 U.S. markets by the end of 2027. These are physician-staffed clinics designed to draw repeat customers and build rapport at the grassroots level. They can also provide a nice lift to a generally low-margin operating model.</p><p>If you need one more good reason to buy Walgreens during the Nasdaq bear market, consider this: The company has increased its base annual payout for 47 consecutive years. Walgreens&#39; 5.2% yield will get investors over 20% of the way to doubling their initial investment over the next four years.</p><h2>Lovesac: Forward-year price-to-earnings ratio of 11.7</h2><p>This is as good a time as any to mention that growth stocks can be value stocks, too. That&#39;s why furniture company <b>Lovesac</b> stands out as an amazing deal at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 11.7.</p><p>Let me stop you before your mind wanders too far. <i>Yes</i>, the furniture industry is generally slow-growing and boring. Lovesac is neither of these, with its furniture, omnichannel sales platform, and customer focus completely disrupting the industry.</p><p>At one time, beanbag-styled chairs known as &#34;sacs&#34; were Lovesac&#39;s core product. But through the first nine months of fiscal 2023, 89.9% of net revenue came from selling &#34;sactionals&#34; -- modular couches that can be rearranged a multitude of ways.  These sactionals offer functionality, optionality (over 200 cover choices), and are ecofriendly. The yarn used in the covers for sactionals is made using recycled plastic water bottles. There&#39;s simply nothing that compares to Lovesac&#39;s top-selling product.</p><p>Although Lovesac has traditional retail stores in 40 states, it&#39;s far from a traditional brick-and-mortar retailer. During the height of the pandemic, it was able to move nearly half of its sales online, while allowing pop-up showrooms and brand-name partnerships to pick up the remainder of the sales lost by physical showrooms. Having multiple sales channels is a tool that&#39;s lowered the company&#39;s overhead expenses and lifted its operating margin.</p><p>Lastly, Lovesac tends to target a more affluent core audience (middle-and-upper-income millennials, to be exact). These are folks who are less likely to be adversely impacted by inflation or mild economic downturns. In short, Lovesac is better insulated to handle economic disruptions than the traditional furniture industry.</p><p>Lovesac&#39;s sustained double-digit sales growth rate, and its expected doubling in earnings per share through 2026, according to Wall Street estimates, make it a screaming deal during the Nasdaq bear market.</p><h2>Teva Pharmaceutical Industries: Forward-year price-to-earnings ratio of 4.1</h2><p>The third tantalizing value stock that can double your money during the Nasdaq bear market is brand-name and generic-drug developer <b>Teva Pharmaceutical Industries</b>. Note: While Teva is reporting its fourth-quarter and full-year operating results before the opening bell today, all figures discussed below are based on the company&#39;s third-quarter results.</p><p>Whereas COVID-19 was a huge headwind for Walgreens Boots Alliance and Lovesac, Teva has been its own worst enemy over the past six years. It grossly overpaid for the Actavis buyout and ballooned its outstanding debt. It&#39;s also dealt with the loss of sales exclusivity on its top-selling brand-name drug (Copaxone for multiple sclerosis), and has faced a litany of litigation tied to its role in the opioid crisis.</p><p>Teva&#39;s biggest catalyst is that it&#39;s putting these miscues in the rearview mirror. Last year, the company forged a $4.2 billion nationwide settlement stemming from its role in the opioid crisis. While this was a higher dollar amount than some shareholders (myself included) had expected, it&#39;s spread out over 18 years. With this gray cloud removed, investors can focus their attention on Teva&#39;s operations, rather than its legal department.</p><p>Losing sales exclusivity to Copaxone isn&#39;t as much of a drag anymore, either. Sales growth from tardive dyskinesia drug Austedo and migraine drug Ajovy are more than outpacing revenue lost to generic forms of Copaxone. As of November, Austedo was on pace to possibly deliver its first full year of blockbuster sales (i.e., revenue in excess of $1 billion).</p><p>Teva&#39;s success is also a function of having a turnaround specialist as CEO. Since taking the lead role in 2017, Kare Schultz has reduced the company&#39;s net debt from north of $34 billion to $19 billion, as of Sept. 30, 2022. Divesting noncore assets, reducing operating expenses, and using the company&#39;s abundant cash flow to pay down debt has been the winning formula.</p><p>If Teva can successfully put all of these challenges behind it, a doubling of its earnings multiple to 8 by 2026 seems perfectly doable.</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>Nasdaq Bear Market: 3 Tantalizing Value Stocks That Can Double Your Money by 2026</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\">\nNasdaq Bear Market: 3 Tantalizing Value Stocks That Can Double Your Money by 2026\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-02-09 23:27 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/02/08/nasdaq-bear-market-3-value-stocks-can-double-money/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Last year was both financially and emotionally trying on investors.

Divesting noncore assets, reducing operating expenses, and using the company's abundant cash flow to pay down debt has been the winning formula.If Teva can successfully put all of these challenges behind it, a doubling of its earnings multiple to 8 by 2026 seems perfectly doable.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":294,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9956466837,"gmtCreate":1674140496930,"gmtModify":1676538926298,"author":{"id":"3572397521268164","authorId":"3572397521268164","name":"JayTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2df5c1d990871ccbfc0f26d4948532db","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572397521268164","authorIdStr":"3572397521268164"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9956466837","repostId":"1109994177","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1109994177","pubTimestamp":1674115330,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1109994177?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-01-19 16:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Is on Both Offense and Defense in Its First-Ever Price War","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1109994177","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Elon Musk is willing to give up profits to keep the carmaker growing.Tesla’s showroom in Santa Monic","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Elon Musk is willing to give up profits to keep the carmaker growing.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/64bc89b24819f67d88840bed52e91da4\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"666\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla’s showroom in Santa Monica, California.

However, I believe it is likely approaching one of its worst quarterly earnings reports in the last decade. Multiple headwinds across Apple&#39;s diverse segments suggest nextquarter could be a big miss, or perhaps there could even be a pre-announcement. In the last eight quarters, Apple has beat expectations every time and met expectations once in October 2021.</p><p>Apple&#39;s multiple has grown recently as it proved its services business could be a true grower. However, the hardware segments still account for 80% of revenue, which is expected to be essentially flat this year. There have been continual problems with the development of future products. Given the company&#39;s massive scale, I believe success here would have to be perfect to contribute to revenue meaningfully.</p><p>Applehas grown from $19.1 billion in annual revenue in 2006 to $394 billion in 2022. The impeccable record of the last decades seems too much to maintain, and while the firm successfully spun a lot of plates to keep delivering during COVID, this is the quarter where a few are likely to fall. Much of the recent behavior of management could suggest that a &#34;mea culpa&#34; quarter is what&#39;s in store.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba6101f3ff63661c5f4ea659db1396bc\" tg-width=\"1530\" tg-height=\"519\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>The other thing is that the Services business is experiencing single-digit growth and has had personnel issues. Due to these issues, the vital segment is undergoing a complete restructuring: another source of risk for a company with no current roadmap to produce genre-defining blockbuster products that have a high chance of living up to the super-human expectations that investors have for this stock. Over the last quarters, Cupertino has beaten expectations by less and less. I suspect this next quarter is when they finally miss, perhaps in a shocking way.</p><h2>Apple&#39;s Performance Lately</h2><p>Last quarter, Apple held the line with record September sales of $90 billion that surpassed analyst estimates while its Tech Titan peers languished amid slowdowns in demand for core revenue drivers, including digital advertising. This quarter, I think Apple&#39;s earnings will be very weak and lead to one of the most significant one-day drops for the stock in recent history. The stock only had one major post-earnings drop in the last eight quarters in FQ2022, and the stock was down almost 9% a day after that report. I suspect this earnings report on February 2nd will result in the stock dropping more than this.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba8d27b1f1d41f1c683fb9b9f145d178\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"368\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Thinkorswim</span></p><p>The uncertainty and obstacles casting a shadow over this coming earnings report are significant for Apple. The first fiscal quarter of the year reflects Apple&#39;s holiday sales, and over the last five years, this quarter has been responsible for around a third of the total revenue for the year. Downward revisions have flurried in.</p><p>As I will argue in this article, the headwinds for Apple are mounting across the entire business, and uncertainty is building. It&#39;s essential also to remember that if a stock has a P/E of 20, that 95% of the value is based on earnings far in the future. Apple has recently set diminished expectations for the two future products that will need to drive a lot of revenue to live up to the high expectations for the stock, the iCarand the AR headset.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/49871ba1f61719335227cfce9416e2a4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"158\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>Over the last year, Technology got hit very hard as the Federal Reserve brought the pain with the second-fastest tightening cycle in history. Some large-cap tech names lost close to most of their market cap, some even more. However, Apple was a relative haven compared to many of its peers. The world&#39;s largest company has done a lot to earn investors&#39; trust. It is perhaps the most successful company in history and the largest company on the planet by market cap.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/da83cb26ed9e160a73c89edca2b450e0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"243\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>However, during November and December, alarming developments came out of Apple&#39;s Shenzen manufacturing cluster, where it produces the vast majority of its most important product, the iPhone. First, production was interrupted by a COVID outbreak, and second by a riot and mass worker walk-outs.</p><p>This led to significant production interruptions. While many companies had been relocating operations out of China due to an increasingly challenging operating environment, Apple remained steadfast. However, in December, Apple finally cracked after the unseemly riot and announced plans to accelerate its supply chain diversification out of China.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/511e06e6a34fade4d811c7b2bc4dda7a\" tg-width=\"918\" tg-height=\"596\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Bloomberg</span></p><p>I did an article last month on Apple&#39;s increasing supply chain woes called <i>Apple&#39;s China Curse Has Likely Only Just Begun.</i> In this piece, I detailed why I thought the issues emerging from China were more consequential than a mere hiccup in the headline cycle. The low costs and stability that Apple&#39;s Chinese partners have provided have been critical to the firm&#39;s ability to generate the &#34;super profits&#34; that shareholders so love it for. Here is an excerpt summarizing my thoughts on the supply problem below.</p><blockquote>The production issues in China and the subsequent efforts to diversify them at an accelerated pace means that the only direction for costs over the next couple of years will be up, at the expense of increasingly superior shareholder returns relative to peers. The product cycle depends on new models to sustain demand, so the interruption in the most advanced models is especially concerning and potentially very problematic. Already there are reports that Apple&#39;s next model will require the largest price hike in the history of the iPhone. Apple must avoid losing its high-tempo iPhone product cadence at all costs. And cost it will.</blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4eb238945faa0ea9fa18c92e1b7d346f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"242\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>Since my article was published, Apple has significantly lagged behind its Tech peers, reversing the relative leadership it showed in 2022. Apple was down about 7.5% over the last month, with Microsoft not far behind. However, the rest of the large-cap tech titans did significantly better. Amazon gained over 6%, and Meta gained over 14%.</p><p>Apple dipped to a 52-week low of $124.17 on January 3rd and has since recovered to around $134 as of the writing of this article. Another big part of my bearishness on Apple was that its earnings are forecast to decelerate throughout the first half. It is tough comps off a COVID peak. But earnings are forecast to contract slightly the quarter after as well.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3e4ca4979521c433013659b59e7d3a2d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"219\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>TD Ameritrade</span></p><p>That article was focused on the supply-side issue in China, which has improved since, and the difficulty of moving away from China. However, many other headwinds are coming to roost as Apple approaches its most vital report of the year. As I previously argued, the issues from dependence on the Chinese manufacturing cluster won&#39;t be going away anytime soon despite the improvement in what was an extremely acute situation. There are also other risks vexing Cupertino.</p><h2>A Constellation of Risks Across Apple&#39;s Business Casts a Dark Cloud in 2023</h2><p>Apple is a genuinely excellent business that has changed the human experience profoundly, but it is also the largest business in the world. No matter what it is, the world&#39;s largest business will always have a royal list of problems that defy comprehension. Indeed, it is a miracle that Apple performed so well during the global pandemic and a testament to the excellent management team.</p><p>However, the influx of demand during that period almost necessarily means growth will be subdued in the coming years, given the prodigious scale of the company and dismal economic conditions in key global markets. As you can see, one of the critical things Apple has been demonstrating to the joy of its shareholders over the last years is a diversification of revenue away from the iPhone, mainly from the fast-growing services segment. This is one of the main reasons the multiple expanded beyond its hardware peers, but there has been a weakness in services in past quarters that will likely only be getting worse.</p><p>The iPhone is a pretty mature product dependent on a highly synchronized global dance where thousands of suppliers from dozens of countries ship their wares to Foxconn facilities in China to be assembled. The upcoming quarter is already slated to be impacted significantly because of the supply disruptions in Apple&#39;s core revenue driver.</p><p>Big Tech&#39;s reporting relative to large non-Tech companies is somewhat more opaque, likely to deceive competitors on crucial profit centers, but this also makes it hard for analysts to understand the scale of adverse developments, which is only exacerbated by recency bias. This is not to imply any wrongdoing by the company or Big Tech in general. But, given that the size of their segments is larger than most companies and that Apple and its peers tend to lump a lot of business lines into fewer segments than non-tech peers, it can be challenging to know where potential risks can emerge after three bumper years in a row.</p><p>For example, the Economist reported that the five largest Technology firms have thirty-two reporting segments compared to fifty-six reporting segments for the largest five non-Tech firms. When you have the best of the best aiding in preparing your 10-Ks, there&#39;s some perfectly legal wiggle room in how to present yourself best. You can bet that Big Tech is putting on its best face and not advertising its competitive edge, but this can also produce unwelcome surprises.</p><p>However, other emerging risks across the business make me think that the upcoming report could be even worse than the revised downward momentum in estimates revisions suggest. This is because the emerging constellation of risks goes far beyond the problems in Zhengzhou (iPhone city).</p><p>The first problem is also the most obvious one. You see that spike in iPhone sales, well the one coming next quarter will be severely diminished by the production issues I&#39;ve already thoroughly discussed. What is less considered, though, is the recent reports that Apple is starting to experience reduced demand across several product lines. It is also estimated that up to 10% of Apple&#39;s revenue could be threatened by looming antitrust efforts. One potential shock to investors would be if the multi-billion dollar payment Google pays for the exclusive search were to come under scrutiny. There are many moving parts and potential for unpleasant surprises in 2023.</p><p><b>Slowing Demand, Rising Costs, and Tough Comps:</b> The production problems are well-known, and fears around this issue are probably the primary reason the stock recently hit a 52-week low. Still, rising concerns about demand for Apple products amid a general global electronics slowdown have cropped up recently. One Apple supplier recently told the media that the company has been asking its suppliers to produce fewer critical components because of weak demand&#34;across almost all products.&#34; The bumper demand for Macs and iPads that helped the company achieve record earnings in the wake of COVID is likely to reverse significantly.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/349ba3bf1702d99e400dff921df9cca7\" tg-width=\"548\" tg-height=\"314\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>Also, despite being overshadowed by the problems at Zhengzhou and COVID protests, Apple has already cut production targets because of diminishing consumer demand. Remember that Apple is a global company and significant portions of sales come from Europe and China, both experiencing significant and potentially prolonged economic weakness. The economic weakness may be finally making its way to the high-end consumers that Apple largely depends on, and if a &#34;richcession&#34; occurs, the firm&#39;s sales could suffer in an outsized way. It&#39;s not just the products themselves; Apple services revenues depend on a high-spending customer in gaming, for instance. In this subsection of services, 1% of customers (presumably affluent) account for two-thirds of revenue.</p><p>The other thing is that the foregone iPhone demand from production issues won&#39;t necessarily be recovered as in the past. Some expect Apple to revise estimates for the March quarter, but if we&#39;re in the teeth of an economic slowdown, these upward projections might be too optimistic. Some analysts see the demand as increasingly perishable. If this is the case, then estimates for Apple&#39;s earnings are still far too high.

Unfortunately, there&#39;s been mounting issues at Apple in this area which should be very disturbing for shareholders. According to Glassdoor, Apple is no longer one of the top places to work for the first time in over a decade. Issues are emerging in some important new initiatives. The company has touted efforts to bring chip design in-house to the benefit of consumers. However, any benefit of this is likely to be erased by the increased costs of hurriedly exiting China for other locales that won&#39;t be able to deliver a fraction of the subsidization that China does. But even more than this, Apple&#39;s internal chip efforts have been beset by personnel problems and a significant engineering error that resulted in an inferior iPhone iteration.</p><p>One of Apple&#39;s key suppliers, TSMC, also reported earnings that suggest a global slowdown in demand for advanced electronics. This and other information suggest that Apple faces more headwinds than many are willing to admit. However, an even bigger problem is that there are growing morale problems amongst Apple&#39;s core employees that are emblematic of a growing malaise. Granted, it&#39;s a growing malaise from one of human history&#39;s most significant commercial achievements. Peak Apple may come back eventually, but it&#39;s likely gone for now. Consistently attracting the highest quality personnel in their field is essential to everything Apple does.</p><h2>Risks to My Bearish Thesis</h2><p>Apple is a fantastic company with a competent management team. But seemingly, the risk is to the downside as we approach Cupertino&#39;s most crucial report of the year. In my estimation, the supply problems in China and the associated effort to diversify it are a secular risk that will pressure Apple&#39;s margins for the foreseeable future. However, I am surprised the company has already got factories back to 90% capacity. So, if the Chinese production issues are less acute and sticky than I thought, then Apple is in a considerably better position than my analysis would suggest.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ded3773b2e407dc373035f17b0b4baed\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"227\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>TD Ameritrade</span></p><p>Economic data has been coming suggesting that we may get a mild recession or that the Fed may be able to pivot to an accommodative posture sooner than you would think, taking them at face value. If we get a bullish development there and the Fed begins cutting around mid-2023, then Apple will likely be able to rally because of the pressure being taken off valuations for the whole market.</p><p>There is also a chance that murmurings of weakness in the services segment are overblown. Apple sold many products and brought many people into the ecosystem over the past years. The firm has also been making the ecosystem a better value for consumers, which could prove particularly successful, leading to better performance in the services segment I currently expect. Apple has a lot of resources as the world&#39;s largest company and still has a lot of gravitas to pull strings when needed. However, I am still firmly convinced the risk is to the downside for the earnings report coming in early February.</p><p>Because of these risks, it is my recommendation not to short-sell Apple. One of the benefits of owning a stock like Apple is the deep and liquid derivatives markets. I believe long put options or covered calls are the best way to play my recommendation for those who don&#39;t want to sell their position or expose themselves to the potentially limitless loss that can occur with a short sale.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>I realize that my bearish call on Apple is quite a contrarian one. I also realize it is a very loved company, and I am not trying to diminish the accomplishments of current management teams or past ones. However, Apple&#39;s earnings growth this year will be subdued by tough comps and is subject to more uncertainty than at any time in the recent past. No new products are coming that aren&#39;t in a market with high barriers to entry. For example, if Apple succeeds with its AR headset, it would be a first in the valley. Cars are a tricky business as well.</p><p>This was the case before the acute problems in China and rising concerns about demand across different Apple products. I suspect that the levels of uncertainty will make forecasting more complex than it&#39;s been for years, raising the prospect of an ugly earnings miss on Apple&#39;s next quarterly call.</p><p>Apple is a large company that would be exposed to a global recession. But the signs of problems in the touted chip segment, decelerating growth in the services segment, and reports of growing employee dissatisfaction make me think that this quarter could see some anomalously bad performance from Cupertino.</p><p>China was central to the formula shareholders loved. According to my analysis, the consensus is missing the scale of the costs and risks associated with an accelerated diversification of Apple&#39;s manufacturing capacity. Growing headwinds on the demand side and in the cherished services segment add to my concern. I remain bearish on Apple in the short and medium term and consider it a strong sell. To reiterate, I suggest using long-put options or covered calls rather than exposing yourself to the considerable risk of short-selling. I think March expirations are advantageous here as I suspect there could be some price weakness between the early February earnings and Apple&#39;s coming investor day in March.</p><p><i>This article is written by Christopher Robb for reference only.

However, I believe it is likely approaching one of its worst quarterly earnings reports in the last decade. Multiple headwinds across Apple's diverse segments suggest nextquarter could be a big miss, or perhaps there could even be a pre-announcement. In the last eight quarters, Apple has beat expectations every time and met expectations once in October 2021.Apple's multiple has grown recently as it proved its services business could be a true grower. However, the hardware segments still account for 80% of revenue, which is expected to be essentially flat this year. There have been continual problems with the development of future products. Given the company's massive scale, I believe success here would have to be perfect to contribute to revenue meaningfully.Applehas grown from $19.1 billion in annual revenue in 2006 to $394 billion in 2022. The impeccable record of the last decades seems too much to maintain, and while the firm successfully spun a lot of plates to keep delivering during COVID, this is the quarter where a few are likely to fall. Much of the recent behavior of management could suggest that a \"mea culpa\" quarter is what's in store.Seeking AlphaThe other thing is that the Services business is experiencing single-digit growth and has had personnel issues. Due to these issues, the vital segment is undergoing a complete restructuring: another source of risk for a company with no current roadmap to produce genre-defining blockbuster products that have a high chance of living up to the super-human expectations that investors have for this stock. Over the last quarters, Cupertino has beaten expectations by less and less. I suspect this next quarter is when they finally miss, perhaps in a shocking way.Apple's Performance LatelyLast quarter, Apple held the line with record September sales of $90 billion that surpassed analyst estimates while its Tech Titan peers languished amid slowdowns in demand for core revenue drivers, including digital advertising. This quarter, I think Apple's earnings will be very weak and lead to one of the most significant one-day drops for the stock in recent history. The stock only had one major post-earnings drop in the last eight quarters in FQ2022, and the stock was down almost 9% a day after that report. I suspect this earnings report on February 2nd will result in the stock dropping more than this.ThinkorswimThe uncertainty and obstacles casting a shadow over this coming earnings report are significant for Apple. The first fiscal quarter of the year reflects Apple's holiday sales, and over the last five years, this quarter has been responsible for around a third of the total revenue for the year. Downward revisions have flurried in.As I will argue in this article, the headwinds for Apple are mounting across the entire business, and uncertainty is building. It's essential also to remember that if a stock has a P/E of 20, that 95% of the value is based on earnings far in the future. Apple has recently set diminished expectations for the two future products that will need to drive a lot of revenue to live up to the high expectations for the stock, the iCarand the AR headset.Seeking AlphaOver the last year, Technology got hit very hard as the Federal Reserve brought the pain with the second-fastest tightening cycle in history. Some large-cap tech names lost close to most of their market cap, some even more. However, Apple was a relative haven compared to many of its peers. The world's largest company has done a lot to earn investors' trust. It is perhaps the most successful company in history and the largest company on the planet by market cap.Seeking AlphaHowever, during November and December, alarming developments came out of Apple's Shenzen manufacturing cluster, where it produces the vast majority of its most important product, the iPhone. First, production was interrupted by a COVID outbreak, and second by a riot and mass worker walk-outs.This led to significant production interruptions. While many companies had been relocating operations out of China due to an increasingly challenging operating environment, Apple remained steadfast. However, in December, Apple finally cracked after the unseemly riot and announced plans to accelerate its supply chain diversification out of China.BloombergI did an article last month on Apple's increasing supply chain woes called Apple's China Curse Has Likely Only Just Begun. In this piece, I detailed why I thought the issues emerging from China were more consequential than a mere hiccup in the headline cycle. The low costs and stability that Apple's Chinese partners have provided have been critical to the firm's ability to generate the \"super profits\" that shareholders so love it for. Here is an excerpt summarizing my thoughts on the supply problem below.The production issues in China and the subsequent efforts to diversify them at an accelerated pace means that the only direction for costs over the next couple of years will be up, at the expense of increasingly superior shareholder returns relative to peers. The product cycle depends on new models to sustain demand, so the interruption in the most advanced models is especially concerning and potentially very problematic. Already there are reports that Apple's next model will require the largest price hike in the history of the iPhone. Apple must avoid losing its high-tempo iPhone product cadence at all costs. And cost it will.Seeking AlphaSince my article was published, Apple has significantly lagged behind its Tech peers, reversing the relative leadership it showed in 2022. Apple was down about 7.5% over the last month, with Microsoft not far behind. However, the rest of the large-cap tech titans did significantly better. Amazon gained over 6%, and Meta gained over 14%.Apple dipped to a 52-week low of $124.17 on January 3rd and has since recovered to around $134 as of the writing of this article. Another big part of my bearishness on Apple was that its earnings are forecast to decelerate throughout the first half. It is tough comps off a COVID peak. But earnings are forecast to contract slightly the quarter after as well.TD AmeritradeThat article was focused on the supply-side issue in China, which has improved since, and the difficulty of moving away from China. However, many other headwinds are coming to roost as Apple approaches its most vital report of the year. As I previously argued, the issues from dependence on the Chinese manufacturing cluster won't be going away anytime soon despite the improvement in what was an extremely acute situation. There are also other risks vexing Cupertino.A Constellation of Risks Across Apple's Business Casts a Dark Cloud in 2023Apple is a genuinely excellent business that has changed the human experience profoundly, but it is also the largest business in the world. No matter what it is, the world's largest business will always have a royal list of problems that defy comprehension. Indeed, it is a miracle that Apple performed so well during the global pandemic and a testament to the excellent management team.However, the influx of demand during that period almost necessarily means growth will be subdued in the coming years, given the prodigious scale of the company and dismal economic conditions in key global markets. As you can see, one of the critical things Apple has been demonstrating to the joy of its shareholders over the last years is a diversification of revenue away from the iPhone, mainly from the fast-growing services segment. This is one of the main reasons the multiple expanded beyond its hardware peers, but there has been a weakness in services in past quarters that will likely only be getting worse.The iPhone is a pretty mature product dependent on a highly synchronized global dance where thousands of suppliers from dozens of countries ship their wares to Foxconn facilities in China to be assembled. The upcoming quarter is already slated to be impacted significantly because of the supply disruptions in Apple's core revenue driver.Big Tech's reporting relative to large non-Tech companies is somewhat more opaque, likely to deceive competitors on crucial profit centers, but this also makes it hard for analysts to understand the scale of adverse developments, which is only exacerbated by recency bias. This is not to imply any wrongdoing by the company or Big Tech in general. But, given that the size of their segments is larger than most companies and that Apple and its peers tend to lump a lot of business lines into fewer segments than non-tech peers, it can be challenging to know where potential risks can emerge after three bumper years in a row.For example, the Economist reported that the five largest Technology firms have thirty-two reporting segments compared to fifty-six reporting segments for the largest five non-Tech firms. When you have the best of the best aiding in preparing your 10-Ks, there's some perfectly legal wiggle room in how to present yourself best. You can bet that Big Tech is putting on its best face and not advertising its competitive edge, but this can also produce unwelcome surprises.However, other emerging risks across the business make me think that the upcoming report could be even worse than the revised downward momentum in estimates revisions suggest. This is because the emerging constellation of risks goes far beyond the problems in Zhengzhou (iPhone city).The first problem is also the most obvious one. You see that spike in iPhone sales, well the one coming next quarter will be severely diminished by the production issues I've already thoroughly discussed. What is less considered, though, is the recent reports that Apple is starting to experience reduced demand across several product lines. It is also estimated that up to 10% of Apple's revenue could be threatened by looming antitrust efforts. One potential shock to investors would be if the multi-billion dollar payment Google pays for the exclusive search were to come under scrutiny. There are many moving parts and potential for unpleasant surprises in 2023.Slowing Demand, Rising Costs, and Tough Comps: The production problems are well-known, and fears around this issue are probably the primary reason the stock recently hit a 52-week low. Still, rising concerns about demand for Apple products amid a general global electronics slowdown have cropped up recently. One Apple supplier recently told the media that the company has been asking its suppliers to produce fewer critical components because of weak demand\"across almost all products.\" The bumper demand for Macs and iPads that helped the company achieve record earnings in the wake of COVID is likely to reverse significantly.Seeking AlphaAlso, despite being overshadowed by the problems at Zhengzhou and COVID protests, Apple has already cut production targets because of diminishing consumer demand. Remember that Apple is a global company and significant portions of sales come from Europe and China, both experiencing significant and potentially prolonged economic weakness. The economic weakness may be finally making its way to the high-end consumers that Apple largely depends on, and if a \"richcession\" occurs, the firm's sales could suffer in an outsized way. It's not just the products themselves; Apple services revenues depend on a high-spending customer in gaming, for instance. In this subsection of services, 1% of customers (presumably affluent) account for two-thirds of revenue.The other thing is that the foregone iPhone demand from production issues won't necessarily be recovered as in the past. Some expect Apple to revise estimates for the March quarter, but if we're in the teeth of an economic slowdown, these upward projections might be too optimistic. Some analysts see the demand as increasingly perishable. If this is the case, then estimates for Apple's earnings are still far too high. Price targets have decreased significantly, which may reach a crescendo after the following report.Seeking AlphaChinese demand for iPhones is challenging as the country endures a wrenching COVID outbreak after the nation's leadership ended years of draconian anti-virus measures. The numbers of infected are in closing in on a billion cases. Significantly, the Chinese population may have diminished capacity for purchasing in the wake of such a ubiquitous scourge. Much of China's population tends to save a high proportion of their income in savings, which may have been exhausted from medical expenses. A hefty proportion of the population has no proper health insurance. CFO Luca Maestri also predicted Mac sales would drop substantially this quarter.Problems With Services Segment: Wall Street Analysts have long been wary of Apple's overconcentration in iPhones for revenue. The company's answer was to create a diversified model that would become increasingly dependent on subscription revenue for Apple Services, including the App Store, Apple TV+, Apple Music, and cloud services.Macrumor.comThe story of the Services growth has mainly been positive, but the massive influx of new activity seen around stay-at-home restrictions from COVID will be hard to maintain or supersede.

However, I am surprised the company has already got factories back to 90% capacity. So, if the Chinese production issues are less acute and sticky than I thought, then Apple is in a considerably better position than my analysis would suggest.TD AmeritradeEconomic data has been coming suggesting that we may get a mild recession or that the Fed may be able to pivot to an accommodative posture sooner than you would think, taking them at face value. If we get a bullish development there and the Fed begins cutting around mid-2023, then Apple will likely be able to rally because of the pressure being taken off valuations for the whole market.There is also a chance that murmurings of weakness in the services segment are overblown. Apple sold many products and brought many people into the ecosystem over the past years. The firm has also been making the ecosystem a better value for consumers, which could prove particularly successful, leading to better performance in the services segment I currently expect. Apple has a lot of resources as the world's largest company and still has a lot of gravitas to pull strings when needed. However, I am still firmly convinced the risk is to the downside for the earnings report coming in early February.Because of these risks, it is my recommendation not to short-sell Apple. One of the benefits of owning a stock like Apple is the deep and liquid derivatives markets. I believe long put options or covered calls are the best way to play my recommendation for those who don't want to sell their position or expose themselves to the potentially limitless loss that can occur with a short sale.ConclusionI realize that my bearish call on Apple is quite a contrarian one. I also realize it is a very loved company, and I am not trying to diminish the accomplishments of current management teams or past ones. However, Apple's earnings growth this year will be subdued by tough comps and is subject to more uncertainty than at any time in the recent past. No new products are coming that aren't in a market with high barriers to entry. For example, if Apple succeeds with its AR headset, it would be a first in the valley. Cars are a tricky business as well.This was the case before the acute problems in China and rising concerns about demand across different Apple products. I suspect that the levels of uncertainty will make forecasting more complex than it's been for years, raising the prospect of an ugly earnings miss on Apple's next quarterly call.Apple is a large company that would be exposed to a global recession. But the signs of problems in the touted chip segment, decelerating growth in the services segment, and reports of growing employee dissatisfaction make me think that this quarter could see some anomalously bad performance from Cupertino.China was central to the formula shareholders loved. According to my analysis, the consensus is missing the scale of the costs and risks associated with an accelerated diversification of Apple's manufacturing capacity. Growing headwinds on the demand side and in the cherished services segment add to my concern. I remain bearish on Apple in the short and medium term and consider it a strong sell. To reiterate, I suggest using long-put options or covered calls rather than exposing yourself to the considerable risk of short-selling. I think March expirations are advantageous here as I suspect there could be some price weakness between the early February earnings and Apple's coming investor day in March.This article is written by Christopher Robb for reference only.

Even so, strong businesses with diverse catalysts for future growth can succeed beyond the current challenging period and enrich investors&#39; portfolios in the process.</p><p>That said, if you have $1,000 to invest in the current market, <b>Microsoft</b> and <b>Apple</b> are two smart stocks to consider loading up on before year&#39;s end.</p><h2>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft</a></h2><p>Microsoft may be one of the most well-known names in tech, but that doesn&#39;t mean this giant has come close to exhausting its growth runway yet. The company is known by many investors for its productivity software, a market in which Microsoft controls a share to the tune of about 50%. Bear in mind, this is a market that hit a valuation of nearly $42 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand to roughly $123 billion by 2028.</p><p>Another huge driver of Microsoft&#39;s current and future growth is the cloud infrastructure market. This is a space worth roughly $60 billion globally at the time of this writing, in which it controls a market share of 21% with its Azure cloud platform.</p><p>The most recent quarter saw the company deliver revenue growth of 11% from the year-ago period to $50 billion, driven by a 24% jump in Microsoft Cloud revenue, a 9% jump in productivity and business processes revenue, and a 20% increase in intelligent cloud revenue. Microsoft remains highly profitable, with its net earnings in the most recent quarter totaling $18 billion.</p><p>Microsoft is in a better position than most to ride out the volatility of the near-term market environment and continue delivering strong growth in the years ahead. Its software offerings remain daily-use essentials for individuals and businesses globally, and its hardware business continues to be a key factor in its overall growth with its lineup of PCs, accessories, headsets, laptops, gaming devices, and more.</p><p>There&#39;s also a less-talked-about aspect of Microsoft&#39;s business, which is its advertising segment. While companies are pulling back on advertising spending in the near term, effective digital ad campaigns remain a must-have cost of doing business in order to remain competitive. While its ad business isn&#39;t yet at the scale of some other well-known tech giants, it hit a major revenue mark of $10 billion last year, while management is aiming to increase this figure to $20 billion in the years ahead.</p><p>A $1,000 investment in Microsoft would add about four shares to your portfolio right now.</p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a></h2><p>Apple is another tech giant that needs no introduction. Shares of Apple have taken a beating over the last few months, particularly as broad sentiment continues to go against tech-oriented growth stocks. Some investors also fear that a recessionary environment could slow down sales of Apple&#39;s key products, as these high-ticket items can be discretionary expenditures for households.</p><p>Apple still makes the lion&#39;s share of its revenue from smartphone sales and has a footprint of about 60% in the U.S. and 30% globally. Apple&#39;s market share within the global smartphone market, a space on track to hit just shy of $500 billion by the year 2026, is not only massive but growing. This can continue to be a durable driver of growth in the years to come, regardless of what happens in the near term. Even with the current macro situation, in the company&#39;s fiscal 2022, iPhone sales comprised about $205 billion of its total sales of $394 billion.</p><p>However, Apple isn&#39;t resting on its laurels. It&#39;s rapidly expanding into new areas of growth that can drive revenue and profits in the future. From its foray into the buy now, pay later space to its expansion in the streaming market to its VR headset, which could launch in early 2023, to its small but growing advertising business, there are plenty of ways the tech giant can continue to disrupt new and emerging industries in the years ahead while delivering returns for shareholders.</p><p>Apple&#39;s core products remain in demand and highly profitable. The company reported another year of steady growth in its fiscal 2022. Earnings jumped 4% year over year to $90 billion, and operating cash flow surged by a whopping $18 billion in the final quarter of the year alone.</p><p>This follows the trailing five years, in which Apple&#39;s revenue and earnings have grown by respective amounts of 131% and 170%, while the tech stock has delivered a total return of 720% for investors.</p><p>A $1,000 investment in Apple would add approximately seven shares to your portfolio.</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>Got $1,000? 2 Smart Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist</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\">\nGot $1,000? 2 Smart Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-12-29 23:40 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/12/28/got-1000-2-smart-stocks-to-buy-hand-over-fist/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The stock market has dealt a tough hand to many investors in 2022, as prolonged volatility has afflicted virtually every sector to a certain degree.

Its software offerings remain daily-use essentials for individuals and businesses globally, and its hardware business continues to be a key factor in its overall growth with its lineup of PCs, accessories, headsets, laptops, gaming devices, and more.There's also a less-talked-about aspect of Microsoft's business, which is its advertising segment. While companies are pulling back on advertising spending in the near term, effective digital ad campaigns remain a must-have cost of doing business in order to remain competitive. While its ad business isn't yet at the scale of some other well-known tech giants, it hit a major revenue mark of $10 billion last year, while management is aiming to increase this figure to $20 billion in the years ahead.A $1,000 investment in Microsoft would add about four shares to your portfolio right now.2. AppleApple is another tech giant that needs no introduction. Shares of Apple have taken a beating over the last few months, particularly as broad sentiment continues to go against tech-oriented growth stocks. Some investors also fear that a recessionary environment could slow down sales of Apple's key products, as these high-ticket items can be discretionary expenditures for households.Apple still makes the lion's share of its revenue from smartphone sales and has a footprint of about 60% in the U.S. and 30% globally. Apple's market share within the global smartphone market, a space on track to hit just shy of $500 billion by the year 2026, is not only massive but growing. This can continue to be a durable driver of growth in the years to come, regardless of what happens in the near term. Even with the current macro situation, in the company's fiscal 2022, iPhone sales comprised about $205 billion of its total sales of $394 billion.However, Apple isn't resting on its laurels. It's rapidly expanding into new areas of growth that can drive revenue and profits in the future. From its foray into the buy now, pay later space to its expansion in the streaming market to its VR headset, which could launch in early 2023, to its small but growing advertising business, there are plenty of ways the tech giant can continue to disrupt new and emerging industries in the years ahead while delivering returns for shareholders.Apple's core products remain in demand and highly profitable. The company reported another year of steady growth in its fiscal 2022. Earnings jumped 4% year over year to $90 billion, and operating cash flow surged by a whopping $18 billion in the final quarter of the year alone.This follows the trailing five years, in which Apple's revenue and earnings have grown by respective amounts of 131% and 170%, while the tech stock has delivered a total return of 720% for investors.A $1,000 investment in Apple would add approximately seven shares to your portfolio.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":752,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9929331003,"gmtCreate":1670598540803,"gmtModify":1676538401984,"author":{"id":"3572397521268164","authorId":"3572397521268164","name":"JayTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2df5c1d990871ccbfc0f26d4948532db","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572397521268164","authorIdStr":"3572397521268164"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/MMAT\">$Meta Materials Inc.(MMAT)$ &nbsp;</a>","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/MMAT\">$Meta Materials Inc.(MMAT)$ &nbsp;</a>","text":"$Meta Materials Inc.(MMAT)$","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/e1644dcd1c0f8f268fde7c30107b38b4","width":"720","height":"1600"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":1,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9929331003","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1287,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3550143488776561","authorId":"3550143488776561","name":"Zerocool34","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/94c14f05e2177ead084f9b11810f6e65","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3550143488776561","authorIdStr":"3550143488776561"},"content":"what interest to protect???protect whose interest....the shorts interest??those still have short position don't need to close??","text":"what interest to protect???protect whose interest....the shorts interest??those still have short position don't need to close??","html":"what interest to protect???protect whose interest....the shorts interest??those still have short position don't need to close??"}],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9929333934,"gmtCreate":1670598445328,"gmtModify":1676538401947,"author":{"id":"3572397521268164","authorId":"3572397521268164","name":"JayTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2df5c1d990871ccbfc0f26d4948532db","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572397521268164","authorIdStr":"3572397521268164"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/MMTLP\">$Meta Materials Inc.

In the filing, Musk states that he is willing to put up a total of $46.5 billion in debt and equity financing to acquire Twitter. The <b>Tesla</b> (NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>) CEO has enlisted the help of <b>Morgan Stanley</b> (NYSE:<b><u>MS</u></b>) and other financial firms to assist in funding the TWTR stock offer. Musk currently owns a 9.1% stake in the social media platform. Additionally, Musk’s position remains unchanged from his previous 13D filing.</p><p>Here’s what else investors should know about Musk’s plan.</p><p><b>Elon Musk Discloses TWTR Stock Financing Details</b></p><p>Out of the $46.5 billion, Musk is willing to cover $21 billion by himself. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley and other firms have stated they are willing to lend $12.5 billion. That would be in the form of margin loans against some of Musk’s ownership of TSLA stock. The remaining $13 billion will consist of debt financing from Morgan Stanley and other firms in the form of a $500 million revolver, a $6.5 billion term loan, a $3 billion secured bridge loan and a $3 billion unsecured bridge loan.</p><p>Bridge loans are short-term loans that are usually backed by collateral, such as real estate. The loans are used until a “person or company secures permanent financing or removes an existing obligation.” Furthermore, the 13F filing states that Musk is “prepared to begin such negotiations immediately.”</p><p>Additionally, the filing discloses that Twitter has yet to respond to Musk’s original offer. As a result, Musk is “exploring whether to commence a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.” A tender offer is an offer to company shareholders instead of the board. Plus, a tender offer does not require approval from the board.</p><p>Significantly, this 13D filing shows that Musk feels determined about acquiring Twitter. Before, some investors were speculating that Musk would simply dump his position for a quick gain.</p><p><b>Twitter Responds to New 13D Filing</b></p><p>A spokesperson from Twitter announced that the company had received Musk’s offer and stated:</p><blockquote>“We are in receipt of the updated, non-binding proposal from Elon Musk, which provides additional information regarding the original proposal and new information on potential financing.

In the filing, Musk states that he is willing to put up a total of $46.5 billion in debt and equity financing to acquire Twitter. The Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO has enlisted the help of Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) and other financial firms to assist in funding the TWTR stock offer. Musk currently owns a 9.1% stake in the social media platform. Additionally, Musk’s position remains unchanged from his previous 13D filing.Here’s what else investors should know about Musk’s plan.Elon Musk Discloses TWTR Stock Financing DetailsOut of the $46.5 billion, Musk is willing to cover $21 billion by himself. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley and other firms have stated they are willing to lend $12.5 billion. That would be in the form of margin loans against some of Musk’s ownership of TSLA stock. The remaining $13 billion will consist of debt financing from Morgan Stanley and other firms in the form of a $500 million revolver, a $6.5 billion term loan, a $3 billion secured bridge loan and a $3 billion unsecured bridge loan.Bridge loans are short-term loans that are usually backed by collateral, such as real estate. The loans are used until a “person or company secures permanent financing or removes an existing obligation.” Furthermore, the 13F filing states that Musk is “prepared to begin such negotiations immediately.”Additionally, the filing discloses that Twitter has yet to respond to Musk’s original offer. As a result, Musk is “exploring whether to commence a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.” A tender offer is an offer to company shareholders instead of the board. Plus, a tender offer does not require approval from the board.Significantly, this 13D filing shows that Musk feels determined about acquiring Twitter. Before, some investors were speculating that Musk would simply dump his position for a quick gain.Twitter Responds to New 13D FilingA spokesperson from Twitter announced that the company had received Musk’s offer and stated:“We are in receipt of the updated, non-binding proposal from Elon Musk, which provides additional information regarding the original proposal and new information on potential financing. As previously announced and communicated to Mr. Musk directly, the Board is committed to conducting a careful, comprehensive and deliberate review to determine the course of action that it believes is in the best interest of the Company and all Twitter stockholders.”While there’s not much to read into in the statement above, we will likely hear more in the coming days. For now, it appears that Twitter is in a period of uncertainty with a price ceiling near $54.20.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":465,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9082476262,"gmtCreate":1650596134413,"gmtModify":1676534761042,"author":{"id":"3572397521268164","authorId":"3572397521268164","name":"JayTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2df5c1d990871ccbfc0f26d4948532db","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572397521268164","authorIdStr":"3572397521268164"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment pls","listText":"Like and comment pls","text":"Like and comment pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9082476262","repostId":"2229180283","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2229180283","pubTimestamp":1650583058,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2229180283?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-22 07:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-Wall St Ends down as Powell Plops 50 Bps Rate Hike on Table","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2229180283","media":"Reuters","summary":"Fed's Powell says 50 bps rate hike 'on the table'United Airlines, American Airlines jump on earnings","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Fed&#39;s Powell says 50 bps rate hike &#39;on the table&#39;</li><li>United Airlines, American Airlines jump on earnings outlook</li><li>Tesla rises after first-quarter results top estimates</li><li>Markets give up early-day gains to end lower</li><li>Indexes down: Dow 1.05%, S&amp;P 1.48%, Nasdaq 2.07% (Adds closing prices, Alcoa)</li></ul><p>Wall Street&#39;s ended lower on Thursday, with the Nasdaq dropping more than 2%, as investors reacted to Federal Reserve officials including Chair Jerome Powell offering further signposting of aggressive interest rate hikes this year.</p><p>A half-point interest rate increase will be &#34;on the table&#34; when the U.S. central bank meets on May 3-4 to approve the next in what is expected to be a series of rate increases this year, Powell said.</p><p>With inflation running roughly three times the Fed&#39;s 2% target, &#34;it is appropriate to be moving a little more quickly,&#34; Powell added in a discussion of the global economy at the meetings of the International Monetary Fund.</p><p>&#34;The market is pricing in, at least, 50 basis points in May and June,&#34; said George Catrambone, head of trading at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DWS.AU\">DWS</a> Group.</p><p>&#34;Powell, and many other Fed speakers, have been saying they want to get to control as quickly as possible, and that is saying to the market that they are going to go aggressively.&#34;</p><p>Earlier on Thursday, San Francisco Federal Reserve President Mary Daly said she supports raising the U.S. central bank&#39;s target for overnight borrowing costs to 2.5% by the end of this year, but whether or how much further it will need to rise will depend on what happens with inflation and labor markets.</p><p>The remarks by Fed officials hijacked initial momentum which the markets received from positive earnings.

column hit a couple of speed bumps in recent weeks, after rolling earlier this year. Would I get back on track? The three names I figured were going to move lower for the week -- <b>MicroStrategy</b>, <b>Hooker Furnishings</b>, and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BLNK\">Blink Charging</a></b> -- finished down 1%, up 1%, and down 4%, respectively, averaging out to a 1.3% decline.</p><p>The <b>S&amp;P 500</b> declined 2.1% for the week, so while I may have been correct about the stocks to avoid, the market fared worse; I lost. I&#39;ve won in 18 of the past 26 weeks, but my recent skid continues.</p><p>This week, I see <b>Tesla</b>, <b>Sleep Number</b>, and <b>Lucid Group</b> as stocks you may want to consider steering clear of. Let&#39;s go over my near-term concerns.</p><h2>Tesla</h2><p>I happen to personally own two of the three stocks in this week&#39;s column, making this a bittersweet list. Tesla is a name I&#39;ve owned for more than a year, but I think the next-generation automaker isn&#39;t at its best when CEO Elon Musk is distracted. He&#39;s distracted right now.</p><p>Tesla reports its first-quarter financials on Wednesday. Your guess is as good as mine if Musk chose April 20 (4/20, a common reference to cannabis) <i>intentionally</i> as the earnings date; mad wealth can make you juvenile. We already know that car deliveries for the quarter came in slightly below market expectations.</p><p>Demand remains strong for Tesla&#39;s entry-level cars, and high gasoline prices are only helping. However, the stock&#39;s lofty valuation -- at a time when supply-chain constraints are real and cost controls are hard to come by -- means this is a tricky time to own the country&#39;s fifth-most-valuable company by market cap.</p><h2>Sleep Number</h2><p>The other stock I own -- and it&#39;s also reporting fresh financials this week -- is Sleep Number. The company&#39;s product is unique in a world of cookie-cutter mattresses: It makes air-chambered mattresses with adjustable firmness settings. It even has a neat hook with the Sleep Number 360 smart bed it rolled out a couple of years ago, a high-tech air cloud that can adjust firmness settings and even elevation as it senses restlessness.</p><p>Sleep Number sales took off in the early months of the pandemic as homebound folks paid a premium for a good night&#39;s sleep. Sales have slowed lately, and the company&#39;s last quarter was a disaster. Revenue declined 13%, as the late arrival of semiconductor components delayed more than $125 million of net sales. Sleep Number claims sales would&#39;ve been positive without the supply-chain hiccup, and even with the setback, revenue still climbed 18% for all of 2021.</p><p>Sleep Number reports its first-quarter results after Wednesday&#39;s market close. Analysts don&#39;t expect the data to be pretty; they&#39;re bracing for a 7% decline in revenue and an 86% plunge in earnings per share. (Investors might have expected the late arrival of parts in the previous quarter to help <i>boost</i> results this time around.)</p><p>It gets worse: Sleep Number has fallen short of Wall Street profit targets in two of the past three reports. Shares are cheap using most measuring sticks, and I&#39;m a long-term bull on the stock. I just feel there&#39;s a lot for Sleep Number to prove with this week&#39;s report.</p><h2>Lucid Group</h2><p>If I&#39;m going with Tesla on this list, I may as well double down on another electric-vehicle maker that&#39;s well behind Tesla on the growth trajectory. Come on down, Lucid Motors.</p><p>Its flagship model, Lucid Air, turned heads late last year when it was named <i>MotorTrend</i>&#39;s Car of the Year. But will it be able to scale fast enough to justify Lucid&#39;s nearly $35 billion market value? Bulls will argue that growth is about to shift to a higher gear, but Lucid is still at least three years away from turning the corner to profitability. A lot can and will happen between now and then, especially as the more established automakers flood the market with electric versions of their more popular rides.</p><p>Right now Lucid Air has a starting price of $77,400, so it&#39;s aiming for a higher-end niche market.

Would I get back on track? The three names I figured were going to move lower for the week -- MicroStrategy, Hooker Furnishings, and Blink Charging -- finished down 1%, up 1%, and down 4%, respectively, averaging out to a 1.3% decline.The S&P 500 declined 2.1% for the week, so while I may have been correct about the stocks to avoid, the market fared worse; I lost. I've won in 18 of the past 26 weeks, but my recent skid continues.This week, I see Tesla, Sleep Number, and Lucid Group as stocks you may want to consider steering clear of. Let's go over my near-term concerns.TeslaI happen to personally own two of the three stocks in this week's column, making this a bittersweet list. Tesla is a name I've owned for more than a year, but I think the next-generation automaker isn't at its best when CEO Elon Musk is distracted. He's distracted right now.Tesla reports its first-quarter financials on Wednesday. Your guess is as good as mine if Musk chose April 20 (4/20, a common reference to cannabis) intentionally as the earnings date; mad wealth can make you juvenile. We already know that car deliveries for the quarter came in slightly below market expectations.Demand remains strong for Tesla's entry-level cars, and high gasoline prices are only helping. However, the stock's lofty valuation -- at a time when supply-chain constraints are real and cost controls are hard to come by -- means this is a tricky time to own the country's fifth-most-valuable company by market cap.Sleep NumberThe other stock I own -- and it's also reporting fresh financials this week -- is Sleep Number. The company's product is unique in a world of cookie-cutter mattresses: It makes air-chambered mattresses with adjustable firmness settings. It even has a neat hook with the Sleep Number 360 smart bed it rolled out a couple of years ago, a high-tech air cloud that can adjust firmness settings and even elevation as it senses restlessness.Sleep Number sales took off in the early months of the pandemic as homebound folks paid a premium for a good night's sleep. Sales have slowed lately, and the company's last quarter was a disaster. Revenue declined 13%, as the late arrival of semiconductor components delayed more than $125 million of net sales. Sleep Number claims sales would've been positive without the supply-chain hiccup, and even with the setback, revenue still climbed 18% for all of 2021.Sleep Number reports its first-quarter results after Wednesday's market close. Analysts don't expect the data to be pretty; they're bracing for a 7% decline in revenue and an 86% plunge in earnings per share. (Investors might have expected the late arrival of parts in the previous quarter to help boost results this time around.)It gets worse: Sleep Number has fallen short of Wall Street profit targets in two of the past three reports. Shares are cheap using most measuring sticks, and I'm a long-term bull on the stock. I just feel there's a lot for Sleep Number to prove with this week's report.Lucid GroupIf I'm going with Tesla on this list, I may as well double down on another electric-vehicle maker that's well behind Tesla on the growth trajectory. Come on down, Lucid Motors.Its flagship model, Lucid Air, turned heads late last year when it was named MotorTrend's Car of the Year. But will it be able to scale fast enough to justify Lucid's nearly $35 billion market value? Bulls will argue that growth is about to shift to a higher gear, but Lucid is still at least three years away from turning the corner to profitability. A lot can and will happen between now and then, especially as the more established automakers flood the market with electric versions of their more popular rides.Right now Lucid Air has a starting price of $77,400, so it's aiming for a higher-end niche market. It also hasn't increased its starting price since announcing the cost of its base model six months ago, suggesting it may not have the pricing elasticity of other automakers that have bumped prices higher over that time. If Tesla offers a foggy outlook, investors will likely take a step back from other electric-car stocks.It's going to be a bumpy road for some of these investments. If you're looking for safe stocks, you aren't likely to find them in Tesla, Sleep Number, and Lucid Group this week.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":658,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9081425377,"gmtCreate":1650269361727,"gmtModify":1676534682900,"author":{"id":"3572397521268164","authorId":"3572397521268164","name":"JayTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2df5c1d990871ccbfc0f26d4948532db","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572397521268164","authorIdStr":"3572397521268164"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment pls","listText":"Like and comment pls","text":"Like and comment pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9081425377","repostId":"2227798500","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2227798500","pubTimestamp":1650259779,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2227798500?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-18 13:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Meta Vs.

(NASDAQ:FB) went beyond the generic social media platforms when it introduced its ambitious Metaverse in October 2021, which created a global hype surrounding the concept then. However, the company&#39;s stocks tanked in February 2022, when many investors realized a $10B impact on its future revenues from Apple&#39;s (AAPL) new privacy changes. In addition, Meta&#39;s image took a further beating when it announced its plans to charge a 47.5% commission rate in Horizon Worlds.</p><p>However, we think the reaction is overdone, given how <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/RBLX\">Roblox Corporation</a> (NYSE:RBLX) charges even higher rates at 72% for its world-building platform. Nonetheless, the company has yet to report profitability, despite its massive bookings of $2.7B in FY2021, Daily Active Users (DAUs) at 45.5M, and Hours Engaged at 41.4B. As a result, we believe that Meta may face similar profitability and monetization issues, given its $10B aggressive expenditures into the Metaverse in FY2021.</p><p>In the meantime, we encourage you to read our previous article on Meta and RBLX, which would help you better understand its position and market opportunities.</p><ul><li>Meta Platforms Vs. ByteDance: The Impact Of TikTok On Instagram</li><li>Roblox: Aggressively Diversifying Its User Demographics</li></ul><h2><b>The &#39;Controversial&#39; Platform Fees</b></h2><p>On 13 April 2022, Meta invited criticism when the company announced its plans to charge creators a 47.5% commission on the sale of all digital assets and experiences developed in Horizon Worlds. It comprises 30% of platform fees through Meta Quest Store and another 17.5% of Horizon platform fees. Many saw the move as hypocritical, given how Meta had often criticized Apple&#39;s (AAPL) 30% commission rate on its App Store.</p><p>For reference, AAPL&#39;s App Store charged commissions in the range of 15% to 30%. The former rate applies to app developers earning less than $1M annually (accounting for 98% of its apps), while those earning over $1M will be subjected to the standard rate of 30% commission rate. On the other hand, Alphabet&#39;s (GOOG) (GOOGL) Google Play Store charged a 15% fee, regardless of the app developers&#39; revenue. However, it is also important to note that AAPL historically charged a flat 30% rate since 2016 and GOOG since 2018, which was reduced only due to the court case between Epic Games and AAPL in 2020. Otherwise, we expect the duopoly would have continued to enjoy its massive revenue streams at the sky-high rate of 30%.</p><p>It is also important to note that the comparison is unfair, given how Meta&#39;s Horizon World and Apple&#39;s App Store are not apple to apple comparisons. Certain websites have also compared Meta&#39;s commission rate to the fees charged by the NFT marketplaces in the range of 2% to 2.5%. Again, not the best comparison. In our opinion, it would be more apt to compare the Horizon World to Roblox (RBLX), given how both platforms encourage digital world games and experiential building.</p><p><b>RBLX Cash Pay Out Structure</b></p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/07e480a761ba16ced05e0f59a42d76af\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"448\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Roblox</p><p></p><p>Based on its website, &#34;Roblox pays creators and developers over 28 cents per dollar spent,&#34; i.e., 72% commission for the company. Now, compared to Meta&#39;s 47.5%, RBLX&#39;s 72% rate is definitely high. It comprises 19.6% of RBLX&#39;s share, 24.3% for App Store fees, 16.8% for platform hosting/ support, and 11.1% for platform investment. When we deduct away the App Store fees, we arrive at the same rate from Meta at 47.5%. Thus, Meta&#39;s claim that its rate is &#34;competitive&#34; with its peers in world-building platforms is undeniably valid. On an unrelated note, Meta&#39;s CTO Andrew Bosworth also noted that its 47.5% fee is similar to YouTube rates.</p><p>However, it is also alarming that RBLX has yet to report profitability despite charging such a high commission rate. In FY2021, the company reported revenues of $1.91B while generating a net income of -$491.65M. Nonetheless, Meta is also exploring a similar Horizon Worlds Creator Bonus program for US participants, similar to RBLX&#39;s Engagement-based Payouts (EBP) of 3.6% as a part of the latter&#39;s variable Premium Payouts to reward engaging digital experiences. As a result, the current proposed commission rates are not cut and dried.</p><p>Given that Meta is also looking to launch a mobile version, we are not sure how the company expects to extract profitability from the Horizon World. Unless the platform goes on the path of cloud gaming, which is currently favored by many game developers, such as Amazon (AMZN), Xbox, Sony (SNE), and Nvidia (NVDA), Meta would be forced to acquiesce to Apple App Store and Google Play Store&#39;s commission rate of 30% and 15%, respectively. Nonetheless, given Zuckerberg&#39;s vocal criticism of AAPL&#39;s 30% rate, it is apt that Meta&#39;s CTO Andrew Bosworth recently revealed in a tweet that the company is looking to release a web version of its Horizon Worlds platform. As a result, Meta&#39;s proposed commission rate would fall to 25% for the web version, instead of 47.5% through its Oculus Quest VR. The reduced fee is undeniably more palatable for many digital creators.</p><p>Meta had reported early successes with 300K Monthly Users in February 2022, representing a 10-fold growth since its public launch in December 2021. In comparison, RBLX had Daily Active Users (DAUs) of 45.5M as of December 2021, while Rec Room, another world-building platform available in VR and non-VR versions, reported over 37M Monthly Users with over 1M VR Active Users in February 2022. It is evident that Meta is also trying to significantly increase its reach into the non-VR user market, given how RBLX and Rec Room have reported much success with their non-VR versions. In addition, YTD, Meta only sold approximately 10M sets for its Oculus Quest, which dramatically restricts user adoption and the consequential growth of its Horizon Quest.</p><p>In order to recoup its lost advertising dollars from the AAPL fiasco, Meta is also looking to monetize its Horizon Quest through &#34;advertising opportunities for brands around digital goods and immersive shopping.&#34; Its partnership with VNTANA, an e-commerce technology firm, will also allow 3D advertising in its Metaverse and its conventional social media platforms on Facebook and Instagram. Furthermore, with the potential launch of Meta&#39;s first generational AR glasses by 2024, Zuckerberg aims to &#34;redefine our relationship with technology,&#34; akin to the introduction of smartphones by the iPhone back in 2007. Chris Barbour, director of augmented reality partnerships at Meta&#39;s Reality Labs unit, said:</p><blockquote>In a way, this offers a glimpse of what you might expect on future devices like AR glasses. (Reuters)</blockquote><p>Since Horizon Worlds is currently restricted to the US and Canada, we expect Meta to slowly open up the platform globally moving forward, given its early successes. In addition, since Meta is looking to go beyond VR to allow access from Facebook and Instagram apps, we expect more of its 3.6B monthly active users to potentially access Horizon World as part of the expanded Facebook experience. As a result, we expect Meta&#39;s Horizon World to perform well, with the global cloud gaming market expected to grow from $244M in 2020 to $21.95B in 2030, at a CAGR of 57.2%. Of course, assuming widespread adoption and success.</p><h2><b>So, Is FB &amp; RBLX Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?</b></h2><h2></h2><p><b>FB &amp; RBLX Projected Revenue and Net Income</b></p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cb54b22201f8270acda080923cfe7203\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"395\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p></p><p>Meta is expected to grow its revenues and net income at a CAGR of 14.31% and 18.81% over the next three years, respectively. For FY2022, consensus estimates that Meta will report revenues of $131.79B and net incomes of $34.14B, representing YoY growth of 11.7% and a YoY decline of 13.2%, respectively. The decline in net income is partly attributed to AAPL&#39;s changes in privacy settings, resulting in reduced effectiveness in Meta&#39;s targeted ads. However, it is also important to note that the company is also spending massive Research and Development expenses of $10B on its Metaverse in FY2021, potentially contributing to its reduced net income. However, we are not concerned, given the company&#39;s massive Free Cash Flows of $39.1B in FY2021.</p><p>As for RBLX, the company is expected to report revenue growth at a CAGR of 20.39% over the next three years. For FY2022, consensus estimates that RBLX will report revenues of $3.02B, representing YoY growth of 58.1%. However, it is also important to note that the company has yet and will not be reporting net income profitability at least in the next four years, despite its fat commission rate. The lack of profitability is mainly attributed to RBLX spending more on its research and development to age up its younger user base beyond the current 13-year-olds, while also improving its &#34;infrastructure and trust and safety.&#34; The latter is probably attributed to the raising concerns about the safety of its platform, given the recent news on sexual content and child pornography.</p><p>Meta is currently trading at an EV/NTM Revenue of 4.07x, lower than its 3Y mean of 6.79x. Given the market&#39;s over-reaction post FQ4&#39;21 earnings call, the company is also trading at $210.18 on 14 April 2022, down 45% from its 52 weeks high of $384.33. Nonetheless, given that the company is still the largest social media company globally while generating steady YoY revenues growth, we expect the company&#39;s ambitious foray into the Metaverse to pay off once it has reached sufficient scale. However, no <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> would know precisely when. In the meantime, Meta&#39;s valuation will likely remain flat, unless it witnesses a positive catalyst in the form of recovering advertising dollars in its upcoming earnings call.</p><p>On the other hand, RBLX is currently trading at an EV/NTM Revenue of 7.72x, lower than its historical mean of 15.45x. The stock is also trading at $42.36 on 14 April 2022, down 70% from its 52 weeks high of $141.60, given the projected deceleration of revenue and booking growth post-pandemic. Despite the normalization of revenue growth, RBLX remains a buy, given its successful execution and monetization of Metaverse. However, the company&#39;s lack of profitability should be considered before adding more to your portfolios.</p><p>Therefore, we <i>reiterate Meta stock as a Buy for long-term investors, while re-rating RBLX stock as a speculative Buy.</i></p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Meta Vs.

(NASDAQ:FB) went beyond the generic social media platforms when it introduced its ambitious Metaverse in October 2021, which created a global hype surrounding the concept then. However, the company's stocks tanked in February 2022, when many investors realized a $10B impact on its future revenues from Apple's (AAPL) new privacy changes. In addition, Meta's image took a further beating when it announced its plans to charge a 47.5% commission rate in Horizon Worlds.However, we think the reaction is overdone, given how Roblox Corporation (NYSE:RBLX) charges even higher rates at 72% for its world-building platform. Nonetheless, the company has yet to report profitability, despite its massive bookings of $2.7B in FY2021, Daily Active Users (DAUs) at 45.5M, and Hours Engaged at 41.4B. As a result, we believe that Meta may face similar profitability and monetization issues, given its $10B aggressive expenditures into the Metaverse in FY2021.In the meantime, we encourage you to read our previous article on Meta and RBLX, which would help you better understand its position and market opportunities.Meta Platforms Vs. ByteDance: The Impact Of TikTok On InstagramRoblox: Aggressively Diversifying Its User DemographicsThe 'Controversial' Platform FeesOn 13 April 2022, Meta invited criticism when the company announced its plans to charge creators a 47.5% commission on the sale of all digital assets and experiences developed in Horizon Worlds. It comprises 30% of platform fees through Meta Quest Store and another 17.5% of Horizon platform fees. Many saw the move as hypocritical, given how Meta had often criticized Apple's (AAPL) 30% commission rate on its App Store.For reference, AAPL's App Store charged commissions in the range of 15% to 30%. The former rate applies to app developers earning less than $1M annually (accounting for 98% of its apps), while those earning over $1M will be subjected to the standard rate of 30% commission rate. On the other hand, Alphabet's (GOOG) (GOOGL) Google Play Store charged a 15% fee, regardless of the app developers' revenue. However, it is also important to note that AAPL historically charged a flat 30% rate since 2016 and GOOG since 2018, which was reduced only due to the court case between Epic Games and AAPL in 2020. Otherwise, we expect the duopoly would have continued to enjoy its massive revenue streams at the sky-high rate of 30%.It is also important to note that the comparison is unfair, given how Meta's Horizon World and Apple's App Store are not apple to apple comparisons. Certain websites have also compared Meta's commission rate to the fees charged by the NFT marketplaces in the range of 2% to 2.5%. Again, not the best comparison. In our opinion, it would be more apt to compare the Horizon World to Roblox (RBLX), given how both platforms encourage digital world games and experiential building.RBLX Cash Pay Out StructureRobloxBased on its website, \"Roblox pays creators and developers over 28 cents per dollar spent,\" i.e., 72% commission for the company. Now, compared to Meta's 47.5%, RBLX's 72% rate is definitely high. It comprises 19.6% of RBLX's share, 24.3% for App Store fees, 16.8% for platform hosting/ support, and 11.1% for platform investment. When we deduct away the App Store fees, we arrive at the same rate from Meta at 47.5%. Thus, Meta's claim that its rate is \"competitive\" with its peers in world-building platforms is undeniably valid. On an unrelated note, Meta's CTO Andrew Bosworth also noted that its 47.5% fee is similar to YouTube rates.However, it is also alarming that RBLX has yet to report profitability despite charging such a high commission rate. In FY2021, the company reported revenues of $1.91B while generating a net income of -$491.65M. Nonetheless, Meta is also exploring a similar Horizon Worlds Creator Bonus program for US participants, similar to RBLX's Engagement-based Payouts (EBP) of 3.6% as a part of the latter's variable Premium Payouts to reward engaging digital experiences. As a result, the current proposed commission rates are not cut and dried.Given that Meta is also looking to launch a mobile version, we are not sure how the company expects to extract profitability from the Horizon World. Unless the platform goes on the path of cloud gaming, which is currently favored by many game developers, such as Amazon (AMZN), Xbox, Sony (SNE), and Nvidia (NVDA), Meta would be forced to acquiesce to Apple App Store and Google Play Store's commission rate of 30% and 15%, respectively. Nonetheless, given Zuckerberg's vocal criticism of AAPL's 30% rate, it is apt that Meta's CTO Andrew Bosworth recently revealed in a tweet that the company is looking to release a web version of its Horizon Worlds platform. As a result, Meta's proposed commission rate would fall to 25% for the web version, instead of 47.5% through its Oculus Quest VR. The reduced fee is undeniably more palatable for many digital creators.Meta had reported early successes with 300K Monthly Users in February 2022, representing a 10-fold growth since its public launch in December 2021. In comparison, RBLX had Daily Active Users (DAUs) of 45.5M as of December 2021, while Rec Room, another world-building platform available in VR and non-VR versions, reported over 37M Monthly Users with over 1M VR Active Users in February 2022. It is evident that Meta is also trying to significantly increase its reach into the non-VR user market, given how RBLX and Rec Room have reported much success with their non-VR versions. In addition, YTD, Meta only sold approximately 10M sets for its Oculus Quest, which dramatically restricts user adoption and the consequential growth of its Horizon Quest.In order to recoup its lost advertising dollars from the AAPL fiasco, Meta is also looking to monetize its Horizon Quest through \"advertising opportunities for brands around digital goods and immersive shopping.\" Its partnership with VNTANA, an e-commerce technology firm, will also allow 3D advertising in its Metaverse and its conventional social media platforms on Facebook and Instagram. Furthermore, with the potential launch of Meta's first generational AR glasses by 2024, Zuckerberg aims to \"redefine our relationship with technology,\" akin to the introduction of smartphones by the iPhone back in 2007. Chris Barbour, director of augmented reality partnerships at Meta's Reality Labs unit, said:In a way, this offers a glimpse of what you might expect on future devices like AR glasses. (Reuters)Since Horizon Worlds is currently restricted to the US and Canada, we expect Meta to slowly open up the platform globally moving forward, given its early successes. In addition, since Meta is looking to go beyond VR to allow access from Facebook and Instagram apps, we expect more of its 3.6B monthly active users to potentially access Horizon World as part of the expanded Facebook experience. As a result, we expect Meta's Horizon World to perform well, with the global cloud gaming market expected to grow from $244M in 2020 to $21.95B in 2030, at a CAGR of 57.2%. Of course, assuming widespread adoption and success.So, Is FB & RBLX Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?FB & RBLX Projected Revenue and Net IncomeS&P Capital IQMeta is expected to grow its revenues and net income at a CAGR of 14.31% and 18.81% over the next three years, respectively. For FY2022, consensus estimates that Meta will report revenues of $131.79B and net incomes of $34.14B, representing YoY growth of 11.7% and a YoY decline of 13.2%, respectively. The decline in net income is partly attributed to AAPL's changes in privacy settings, resulting in reduced effectiveness in Meta's targeted ads. However, it is also important to note that the company is also spending massive Research and Development expenses of $10B on its Metaverse in FY2021, potentially contributing to its reduced net income. However, we are not concerned, given the company's massive Free Cash Flows of $39.1B in FY2021.As for RBLX, the company is expected to report revenue growth at a CAGR of 20.39% over the next three years. For FY2022, consensus estimates that RBLX will report revenues of $3.02B, representing YoY growth of 58.1%. However, it is also important to note that the company has yet and will not be reporting net income profitability at least in the next four years, despite its fat commission rate. The lack of profitability is mainly attributed to RBLX spending more on its research and development to age up its younger user base beyond the current 13-year-olds, while also improving its \"infrastructure and trust and safety.\" The latter is probably attributed to the raising concerns about the safety of its platform, given the recent news on sexual content and child pornography.Meta is currently trading at an EV/NTM Revenue of 4.07x, lower than its 3Y mean of 6.79x. Given the market's over-reaction post FQ4'21 earnings call, the company is also trading at $210.18 on 14 April 2022, down 45% from its 52 weeks high of $384.33. Nonetheless, given that the company is still the largest social media company globally while generating steady YoY revenues growth, we expect the company's ambitious foray into the Metaverse to pay off once it has reached sufficient scale. However, no one would know precisely when. In the meantime, Meta's valuation will likely remain flat, unless it witnesses a positive catalyst in the form of recovering advertising dollars in its upcoming earnings call.On the other hand, RBLX is currently trading at an EV/NTM Revenue of 7.72x, lower than its historical mean of 15.45x. The stock is also trading at $42.36 on 14 April 2022, down 70% from its 52 weeks high of $141.60, given the projected deceleration of revenue and booking growth post-pandemic. Despite the normalization of revenue growth, RBLX remains a buy, given its successful execution and monetization of Metaverse. However, the company's lack of profitability should be considered before adding more to your portfolios.Therefore, we reiterate Meta stock as a Buy for long-term investors, while re-rating RBLX stock as a speculative Buy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":495,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9081426705,"gmtCreate":1650269301355,"gmtModify":1676534682876,"author":{"id":"3572397521268164","authorId":"3572397521268164","name":"JayTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2df5c1d990871ccbfc0f26d4948532db","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572397521268164","authorIdStr":"3572397521268164"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Omg","listText":"Omg","text":"Omg","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9081426705","repostId":"1147044029","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1147044029","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":1650269071,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1147044029?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-18 16:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"DIDI Tumbled Over 22% in Premarket Trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1147044029","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"DIDI tumbled over 22% in premarket trading.Didi Global Inc(DIDI.N)will hold an extraordinary general","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>DIDI tumbled over 22% in premarket trading.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/771815157db6f89f5c5823d44e0878fa\" tg-width=\"764\" tg-height=\"568\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Didi Global Inc(DIDI.N)will hold an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on May 23 to vote on its delisting plans in the United States, the Chinese ride-hailing giant said in a statement on Saturday.</p><p>The company also said it will not apply to list its shares on any other stock exchange before the delisting of its American Depositary Shares from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) was complete.</p><p>It added that it will continue to explore appropriate measures that include exploring a potential listing on another internationally recognized exchange, it said.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

This is not that dissimilar to the iPhone leasing program, but will make these other devices more affordable as they will not require the large upfront cash outlay,” Suva added.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":260,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":113070601,"gmtCreate":1622588812603,"gmtModify":1704186692270,"author":{"id":"3572397521268164","authorId":"3572397521268164","name":"JayTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2df5c1d990871ccbfc0f26d4948532db","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3572397521268164","idStr":"3572397521268164"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment pls&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment pls&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":2,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":13,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/113070601","repostId":"2140626460","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2140626460","pubTimestamp":1622561601,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2140626460?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-01 23:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Stocks to Avoid This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2140626460","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These investments seem pretty vulnerable right now.","content":"<p>In my three stocks to avoid article last week, I predicted that <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZUO\">Zuora</a></b> (NYSE:ZUO),&nbsp;<b>Riot Blockchain </b>(NASDAQ:RIOT), and <b>Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund</b> (OTC:GDLC) would have a rough few days.</p><ul><li>Zuora shares climbed 3% for the week.

SLYV rallied 32% this year through Thursday's close.\nThat more than doubles the return of its growth stock counterpart, SPDR S&P 600 Small Cap Growth (SLYG), which is up 15%. The index SLYG tracks includes stocks with the strongest growth traits based on sales growth, earnings change to price and momentum.\nBack to SLYV, financials accounted for the biggest sector weight at 24% of assets. Industrials weighed in at about 17%, consumer discretionary 15% and real estate 10%. Information technology was next at 8% and materials, energy and health care, 6% each. Smaller positions in consumer staples, utilities and communication services made up the rest.\nSPDR S&P 600 Small Cap Value is in IBD's ETF Leaders, but SPDR S&P 600 Small Cap Growth is not.\nGameStop Stock Leads\nGameStop(GME),Macy's(M),PDC Energy(PDCE),Resideo Technologies(REZI) andBankUnited(BKU) were the top five holdings as of Wednesday.\nPacific Premier Bancorp(PPBI),Bed Bath & Beyond(BBBY),Ameris Bancorp(ABCB),First Hawaiian(FHB) andInsight Enterprises(NSIT) rounded out the top 10.\nGameStop has undergone wide swings this year. It rocketed about 2,500% early this year amid theshort-squeeze rallyfueled by the Reddit/WallStreetBets crowd.GME stockthen crashed 92% from a Jan. 28 high to its mid-February low. That was followed by an 805% surge the next three weeks, and a 66% drop over the next two weeks.\nAction had been relatively subdued since, until Thursday's 27% dive. Even after that, GameStop stock was up 1,070% year to date through Thursday's close.\nCould GME be inflating SLYV's performance? Certainly, given its quadruple-digit gain. But a look at SLYG's portfolio is interesting. GameStop stock is also the top holding in the growth stock ETF, though the rest of the top 10 differ vastly.\nSecond Meme Stock In Top 10\nPDC Energy, up 130%, saw the next biggest gain in the top 10. The Colorado-based oil and gas explorer has a 97Relative Strength Rating, which mean it's in the top 3% of all stocks. Its relative strength line is at a 52-week high, a bullish sign.\nBed Bath & Beyond, another meme stock, is up 78% this year. Shares surged more than 200% in January, amid a spate of wild double-digit swings. BBBY stock then gave back the bulk of its gains.\nBut the home goods retailer appears to be back on the radar of the WallStreetBets discussion group. On June 2, Bed Bath & Beyond soared 62% before diving 28% the next session.\nThe rest of the top 10 stocks have also outperformed the broader market. Macy's is up 68% year to date, while Resideo, Pacific Premier and Ameris have risen more than 40% each. The lowest gainer, bank holding company First Hawaiian, has advanced 20%. The S&P 500 held a 13% gain through Thursday's close.\nSLYV remains in potential buy range from an 87.29entryof acup with handle, according toMarketSmithchart analysis. SLYV and SLYG charge a 0.15% expense ratio.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":172,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":106983941,"gmtCreate":1620084194883,"gmtModify":1704338274915,"author":{"id":"3572397521268164","authorId":"3572397521268164","name":"JayTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2df5c1d990871ccbfc0f26d4948532db","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3572397521268164","idStr":"3572397521268164"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":8,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/106983941","repostId":"1135819410","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1135819410","pubTimestamp":1619999342,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1135819410?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-03 07:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Uber, Pfizer, PayPal, T-Mobile, ViacomCBS, General Motors, and Other Stocks for Investors to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1135819410","media":"Barrons","summary":"It’s another packed week of earnings reports, with 130 S&P 500 companies on deck to release their fi","content":"<p>It’s another packed week of earnings reports, with 130 S&amp;P 500 companies on deck to release their first-quarter results.

The drug, which is marketed under the name Aduhelm, is also expected to generate billions of dollars in revenue for the company.\"We are well-aware of the attention surrounding this approval,\" Dr. Patrizia Cavazzoni, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said in a press release. \"We understand that Aduhelm has garnered the attention of the press, the Alzheimer's patient community, our elected officials, and other interested stakeholders.\"\"With a treatment for a serious, life-threatening disease in the balance, it makes sense that so many people were following the outcome of this review,\" Cavazzoni added.Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills. More than 6 million Americans are living with the disease, according toestimates by the Alzheimer’s Association.By 2050, that number is projected to rise to nearly 13 million, according to the group.There were previously no drugs cleared by the FDA that can slow the mental decline from Alzheimer’s, which is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. The U.S. agency has approved Alzheimer’s drugs aimed at helping symptoms, not actually slowing the disease itself.Federal regulators have faced intense pressure from friends and family members of Alzheimer’s patients asking to fast-track aducanumab, but the road to regulatory approval has been a controversial one since it showed promise in 2016.In March of 2019, Biogen pulled work on the drug after an analysis from an independent group revealed it was unlikely to work. The company then shocked investors several months later by announcing it would seek regulatory approval for the drug after all.Shares of Biogen soared in Novemberafter it won backing from FDA staff, who said the company showed highly “persuasive” evidence aducanumab was effective and that it had “an acceptable safety profile that would support use in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease.”But two days later, a panel of outside experts that advises theU.S. agency unexpectedly declined to endorsethe experimental drug, citing unconvincing data. It also criticized agency staff for what it called an overly positive review.When Biogen sought approval for the drug in late 2019, its scientists said a new analysis of a larger data set showed that aducanumab “reduced clinical decline in patients with early Alzheimer’s disease.”Alzheimer’s experts and Wall Street analysts were immediately skeptical, with some wondering whether the clinical trial data was enough to prove that the drug works and whether approval could make it harder for other companies to enroll patients in their own drug trials.Some doctorshave said they won’t prescribethe drug if it does reach the market, because of the mixed data package supporting the company’s application.Supporters, including advocacy groups and family members of those living with the disease desperate for a new treatment, have acknowledged that the data isn’t perfect. However, they argue that it could help some patients with Alzheimer’s, a progressive and debilitating disease.Biogen’s drug targets a “sticky” compound in the brain known as beta-amyloid, which scientists expect plays a role in the devastating disease. The company has previously estimated about 1.5 million people with early Alzheimer’s in the U.S. could be candidates for the drug, according to Reuters.The FDA decision is expected to reverberate throughout the biopharma sector, RBC Capital Markets analyst Brian Abrahams said in a note to clients on June 1.The U.S. agency said Monday it determined there was “substantial evidence” the drug helps patients.“As a result of FDA’s approval of Aduhelm, patients with Alzheimer’s disease have an important and critical new treatment to help combat this disease,” it said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":132,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3576105353976896","authorId":"3576105353976896","name":"WayneLee","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/785daacee256a2b4978a5d50fbe3727b","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3576105353976896","idStr":"3576105353976896"},"content":"Mind responding to this?

Average rose 14.41 points, or 0.04%, to 34,480.65, the S&P 500 gained 8.29 points, or 0.20%, to 4,247.47 and the Nasdaq Composite added 49.09 points, or 0.35%, to 14,069.42.\nAmong the 11 major sectors in the S&P 500, healthcare suffered the biggest percentage drop.\nMuch of the trading volume this week was attributable to the ongoing social media-driven \"meme stock\" phenomenon, in which retail investors swarm around heavily shorted stocks.\nBut meme stock moves were more muted on Friday, with AMC Entertainment outperforming.\n(Reporting by Stephen Culp in New York Additional

January to late May, underperforming many industry peers. An antitrust probe in China, tighter auditing standards in the U.S., and the rotation from growth to value stocks all weighed down its stock.</p>\n<p>Alibaba's stock might look cheap at 18 times forward earnings, but analysts still expect its earnings to dip 3% this year as it absorbs a record $2.75 billion antitrust fine. It will also need to halt its exclusive deals with big brands, which could soften its defenses against smaller e-commerce marketplaces.</p>\n<p>And that's not all. Alibaba could be forced to divest its media assets and share its user data with the government, while its fintech affiliate, Ant Group, will be more tightly regulated as a financial holding company.&nbsp;Alibaba might weather all these headwinds and recover over the long term, but its stock could remain dead money for the foreseeable future.</p>\n<p>Instead of betting on Alibaba's potential comeback, investors should consider buying shares of Chinese tech stocks that aren't in regulatory crosshairs. These three e-commerce companies fit the bill: <b>JD.com </b>(NASDAQ:JD), <b>Pinduoduo</b> (NASDAQ:PDD), and <b>Baozun</b> (NASDAQ:BZUN).</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F628813%2Fgettyimages-1170687091.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>1. JD.com</h2>\n<p>JD.com is China's second-largest e-commerce company after Alibaba. However, it's actually the country's largest direct retailer, since it generates most of its revenue from its first-party marketplace.</p>\n<p>Unlike Alibaba, which generates most of its e-commerce revenue from third-party sellers on Taobao and Tmall, JD takes on its own inventories and fulfills orders with its logistics network. This business model is more capital-intensive, but it shields its buyers from fake products.</p>\n<p>Alibaba's co-founder, Jack Ma, once said JD's lower-margin business model would end in a \"tragedy,\" but economies of scale gradually kicked in and enabled it to generate consistent profits. JD's logistics arm also balanced out its costs by offering its services to third-party customers.</p>\n<p>JD's revenue and&nbsp;adjusted earnings rose 29% and 57%, respectively, in 2020. It ended the first quarter with nearly 500 million annual active consumers, and analysts expect its revenue and earnings to grow another 26% and 13%, respectively, this year.</p>\n<p>JD doesn't face as much regulatory heat as Alibaba, it margins are expanding, and the stock trades at just 28 times forward earnings estimates and less than 1 times estimated sales.</p>\n<h2>2. Pinduoduo</h2>\n<p>Pinduoduo is the third-largest e-commerce player in China in terms of annual revenue, but in terms of total shoppers, it's actually bigger than JD, with 628 million annual active buyers. Like Alibaba, Pinduoduo generates most of its revenue through listing fees and ads for third-party merchants.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/864f7f52e87d48721cc5ea7d15e3b4b0\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>Pinduoduo carved out a niche with its discount marketplace, which encouraged shoppers to team up for group discounts. That strategy, which relied heavily on users sharing links across social networks, caught on across China's lower-tier cities.</p>\n<p>Pinduoduo subsequently expanded into China's top-tier cities and partnered with bigger brands to challenge Alibaba and JD. It also gained an early mover's advantage in online agriculture by enabling over 12 million farmers to directly ship their produce to customers.</p>\n<p>Pinduoduo's revenue surged 97% in&nbsp;2020, then soared another 239% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2021. Analysts expect its revenue to grow 92% for the full year. Those estimates are impressive for a stock that trades at about eight times this year's sales.</p>\n<p>Pinduoduo is still unprofitable due to its aggressive discounts, subsidies for sellers, and the expansion of its logistics network. However, its adjusted operating and net losses still narrowed year-over-year last quarter, and it could gradually inch toward profitability as it increases its scale.</p>\n<h2>3. Baozun</h2>\n<p>Baozun is sometimes called the \"<b>Shopify</b> of China\", but that comparison is misleading. Unlike Shopify, which provides self-serve e-commerce services to smaller businesses, Baozun mainly provides end-to-end e-commerce solutions to large international companies.</p>\n<p>It can be difficult for large U.S. companies to build Chinese websites, launch marketing campaigns, and set up e-commerce marketplaces, so Baozun is a \"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-stop shop\" that handles all those needs. It also helps companies integrate their online marketplaces with Tmall, JD, and Pinduoduo, which makes it a well-balanced play on China's booming e-commerce sector.</p>\n<p>Baozun's business model is capital-intensive, but it expanded its margins in recent years by pivoting from a \"distribution-based\" model, in which it directly fulfilled orders, to a \"non-distribution\" based model, which allows its clients to directly ship their products to their customers.</p>\n<p>Baozun's revenue and adjusted earnings increased 22% and 50%, respectively, in 2020. Ninety-two percent of its GMV (gross merchandise volume) came from its non-distribution-based business. Analysts expect its revenue and adjusted earnings to rise 35% and 5%, respectively, this year.</p>\n<p>This oft-overlooked stock trades at just 19 times forward earnings and 1.5 times this year's sales, which might make it an undervalued growth stock if investors fall in love with Chinese tech companies again.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Forget Alibaba, These 3 Chinese Tech Stocks Are Better Buys</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\">\nForget Alibaba, These 3 Chinese Tech Stocks Are Better Buys\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-03 23:32 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/03/forget-alibaba-these-3-chinese-tech-stocks-are-bet/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Alibaba (NYSE:BABA), China's top e-commerce and cloud company, lost nearly 10% of its value from January to late May, underperforming many industry peers.

They, too, were up Monday as investors digested the delivery data.\nLi investors will have a chance to hear more about the outlook for deliveries when Li reports first-quarter results later in May.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":30,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3561854020621600","authorId":"3561854020621600","name":"Junyuan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c179e227f6a29483eb37ac7860e9eef2","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3561854020621600","idStr":"3561854020621600"},"content":"Comment back pls","text":"Comment back pls","html":"Comment back pls"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9096576699,"gmtCreate":1644444040989,"gmtModify":1676533925558,"author":{"id":"3572397521268164","authorId":"3572397521268164","name":"JayTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2df5c1d990871ccbfc0f26d4948532db","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3572397521268164","idStr":"3572397521268164"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment","listText":"Like and comment","text":"Like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9096576699","repostId":"1173285439","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1173285439","pubTimestamp":1644420204,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1173285439?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-02-09 23:23","market":"us","language":"en","title":"10 Fintech Stocks To Own Until 2032 and Beyond","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1173285439","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"It was one of the hottest sectors early last year.

Nevertheless, while you may want to take a closer look before taking it as a long-term holding, consider it one of the fintech stocks to keep an eye on, as a way to play the trend.</p><ul><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FISV\">Fiserv</a></li></ul><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/44708bf1912ddfe3d8b10908fec9b493\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: Tada Images / Shutterstock.com</p><p>Fiserv is a legacy payment processing company. Although hardly a household name, it has more in common with Mastercard and<b>Visa</b>(NYSE:<b><u>V</u></b>) than it does with, say, PayPal. Even so, much like how you shouldn’t write off Mastercard and Visa as dinosaurs in light of fintech trends, the same thing applies here with this company.</p><p>Via services like itsCarat ecommerce ecosystem, and its Clover point-of-sale transaction platform, the company is keeping up with the digitalization of finance. It’s also bolstering its fintech bona fides,through its purchase of BentoBox, which is to restaurants what its Carat ecosystem is to online retail.</p><p>That’s not all. Not only is this company a fintech stock masquerading as an old-school payments stock, it’s a relatively cheap one to boot. FISV stock today trades for around 18.9x projected 2021 earnings, and 16.4x projected 2022 earnings. Yes, this established company isn’t growing at the same clip as more early-stage names.</p><p>However, with earnings expected to jump around 15.5% this year, it may be deserving a slightly higher valuation. At just over $100 per share today, and if you add in the potential for it to see continued strong growth and adaptation, then Fiserv could be trading for substantially higher prices ten years out.</p><ul><li><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INTU\">Intuit </a></li></ul><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1ea5d33afe04711661ec74063845e9e8\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: dennizn / Shutterstock.com</p><p>When you think of Intuit, this software company’s QuickBooks and TurboTax services may first come to mind. Both nice business to have under one’s belt for sure. High margin, with deep economic moats. But do they make them a fintech company? At first, you may think instead this is more like a finance-focused software as a service (SaaS) company.</p><p>However, don’t forget that Credit Karma and Mint are its other major products. All together, they’ve helped it capitalize on the integration of finance and technology. They’ve also enabled this more mature company to grow itsannual revenuefrom $6.78 billion in Fiscal 2019 (ending July 2019), to $10.3 billion over the trailing twelve months.</p><p>Chances are, they’ll continue to do so in the years ahead. With its aforementioned platforms, it is well-positioned to remain a one stop shop for Millennials and Gen Z to do their taxes, access credit, and manage their wealth. Intuit’s enterprise offerings also put it in a great spot to benefit from thedigitalization of corporate accounting/finance.</p><p>After dropping 15% so far this year, due to the tech-selloff, INTU appears to be a fintech stock on sale. You may want to grab it, either now, or any additional weakness that may arise over the next few months.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MA\">Mastercard </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/761790ce672a3f19aca9e325ff53218c\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: David Cardinez / Shutterstock.com</p><p>Mastercard is a high-quality business. The credit card processor continues to operate in an oligopoly with its longtime rival Visa. This brings with it high profit margins, and consistent profitability.</p><p>Unfortunately, it also brings with it a premium valuation for MA stock. Trading for 36.7x, it may seem pricey. Especially as it seems that, in time, fintech rivals will drain its economic moat, taking away its edge, and possibly its status as a “wonderful company.”</p><p>Then again, concerns about it getting its lunch eaten by newer fintechs may be overblown. At least, that’s the view of<b>Weitz Investment Management</b>. The asset management firm’s portfolio managers recently argued that both Mastercard and Visa operate“the rails over which electronic payments travel.”This leaves upstarts dependent on them in order to operate.</p><p>It also gives the old school processors like this one an edge in terms of competing with them. The company is doing just that,via recent acquisitions. This may explain why MA stock has held up a lot better lately, as the market appreciates its incumbent status. It may also pave the way for the stock, which at around $374 per share is just under its all-time high, to continue climbing higher, its premium valuation notwithstanding.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PSFE\">Paysafe </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/05bc206367e566c4cf2bf127eb79afd2\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: Sulastri Sulastri / Shutterstock.com</p><p>A year ago, PSFE stock was in the catbird’s set, in a way. A payment processor for the online gambling industry, it appeared well-positioned to benefit from the explosion of legalized sportsbooks and online casinos in the U.S.</p><p>It was also a SPAC stock. This resulted in a lot of attention from speculators, looking to “get rich” from the bubble that emerged last year in this once-arcane area of the market. Unfortunately, throughout 2021, its connection to both trends went from being a positive, to being a negative.</p><p>First, the SPAC wipeout, which put shares on a downwards trajectory right from the start after its “deSPACing.” Then, the deflating of the sports betting bubble,plus downward revisions to its guidance, put it into freefall in November.</p><p>The end result? Changing hands today for about $3.5 per share, it’s fallen more than 80% over the past year. The past twelve months have been tough for PSFE stock. Still, you may want to take a second look, following its beatdown. As<i>InvestorPlace’s</i>Dana Blankenhorn recently argued, the situation with the companycould change in the years ahead. It may get worse before it gets better, yet getting in today, and riding out volatility, shares could ultimately re-hit higher prices.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5ea6870df0834f18dbf86a1cf8e754be\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</p><p>You can’t talk about fintech stocks without talking about PayPal. With the launch of its payments platform two decades back, it is a pioneer in this space. With a wide variety of financial service offerings for individuals and merchants, it controls a large piece of the digital segments market.</p><p>The “digitization of money” trade, which kicked off at the start of the pandemic, resulted in PYPL stock going on a stunning run. Between spring of 2020, and last summer, it soared from around $100, to as much as $310.16 per share. Yet since July 2021, it’s taken a big dive.</p><p>At around $120 per share today, it’s all but given back its gains over the past two years. The reasons for this are numerous. First, of course, the upcoming rate hikes have made investors less bullish on growth plays. Second,underwhelming quarterly results and outlookhave made the market more hesitant to give it a premium valuation.</p><p>So, with so much bad news, which include it as a possible buy? There may be a silver lining to its recent troubles. The resultant price declines have pushed it to a much more reasonable valuation (26.9x). If its growth slowdown is not as bad as it looks, its recent big declines could reverse in time.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SOFI\">SoFi Technologies </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6f36bf2ff4a2a456a111d05f4d9bc669\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com</p><p>As the market has soured on fintech stocks, so too have they grown less enthusiastic about SOFI stock. As you may recall, the former SPAC looked like it was on the verge of making a comeback last fall. But between all the sentiment shifts and volatility experienced since then, it’s no surprise that shares have taken a sharp plunge over the past three months.</p><p>Trading in the low-$20s per share in mid-November, today the digital-first financial supermarket trades for around $12 per share. Put simply, this may have been an overreaction. Not only does the continued rise of fintech bode well for it in the long-term. In the short-term, it may have a shot of making a recovery.</p><p>Last week, I discussed how SOFI stock may be one of the best names to buy followingWall Street’s late January move into panic mode. Why? Now holding a banking charter, the company may be getting into traditional banking at the right time, as interest rates rise. This may give it a quicker path to the point of profitability.</p><p>If SoFi Technologies gets out of the red, and keeps on seeing its platform expand (in terms of both revenue and users), the stock could get out of its recent slump. At the very least, make a partial recovery.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SQ\">Block </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/74d0d3568ed5a0dabc0c571d18f99a19\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: IgorGolovniov / Shutterstock.com</p><p>Like with its rival PayPal, Block (formerly Square) has seen the crowd from being extremely in its favor, to extremely out of its favor. It hasn’t given back all of its pandemic era gains. Yet after falling around 60% over the past six months, to $109 per share, it pretty much has done just that.</p><p>The crowd’s no longer on its side, but<b>JPMorgan’s</b>(NYSE:<b>JPM</b>) Tien-Tsin Huang doesn’t see this as a reason to avoid the stock. Instead, the sell-side analyst hasrecently rated shares a “buy,” with a $200 per share price target. Huang’s rationale? With the Afterpay deal now under its belt, integrating it with its existing operations could help boost gross profits.</p><p>In the longer run, with its multitude of platforms (Square merchant services, CashApp and now Afterpay for customers), Block still stands to benefit greatly from the continued rise of fintech. Having said all this, valuation may remain a concern. The stock today trades for around 54x earnings.</p><p>If rate hikes come in worse than expected, this rich valuation could see further compression. You may not want to jump into SQ stock right away. Keep this on your watchlist of fintech stocks, possibly buying it if it takes another major dive.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/UPST\">Upstart </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6eb090a090093773dab0e47a96d93ec5\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: Postmodern Studio / Shutterstock.com</p><p>Like SOFI, UPST stock is another fintech stock that could become a winner again well before 2032 arrives. Albeit, with a caveat. A rebound will only happen if upcoming rate hikes aren’t as severe as the most doom and gloom forecasts suggest.</p><p>What do I mean? As I recently discussed, the upcoming rise in interest rates has resulted in severe multiple compression for shares in fast-growing tech companies. Yet in the case of Upstart, whose technology enables lenders to assess credit risk using artificial intelligence (AI), the compression may have been overdone.</p><p>Unlike some other fintech/SaaS names, which have seen high revenue growth, but no profits,that’s not the case here with UPST stock. With the rapid adoption of its platform last year, the company’s top-line has skyrocketed, and it currently generates positive earnings.</p><p>Although its rate of growth is slowing down (from 245.6% to 49.5%), it could see a big boost, if three rate hikes of 0.25% each are all we see from the Federal Reserve in 2022. If earnings hit the top end of projections, and rates stay low enough that this stock can sustain a P/E ratio of 101x? A move back to over $200 per share for this stock (currently just under $100 per share) may be achievable.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WU\">Western Union </a><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/46fa8ce4c8109fefb57a0e665086e29a\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: DW labs Incorporated/Shutterstock.com</p><p>To wrap up this gallery, let’s take a look at a name that really doesn’t appear to be a fintech play on the surface. I’ll concede that it’s far easier to make the “dinosaur” argument for Western Union than it is for Fiserv and Mastercard.</p><p>Its name alone, harkening back to its 19th century roots as a telegraph company, suggests its not long for this more digitized financial world. Even so, before declaring that it’s done for in a world where crypto, payment apps, and other solutions make its money transfer business archaic, bear in mind it’staking active steps to stay relevantto changes in global fund remittance.</p><p>That’s not to say it’ll pan out. After all, you can cite scores of old line companies whose attempts to adapt to chance were too little, too late. Yet with WU stock, trading for just 9.22x earnings, its secular decline is already priced-in. Perhaps, too priced-in.</p><p>Even if it has just a limited amount of success with a digital transformation then it may be enough to help spark an outsized rebound for this cheaply priced stock. Yes, it’s more a deep value play than one of the other fintech stocks here. Even so, you may still want to consider buying it, as it stays at a fire sale price.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>10 Fintech Stocks To Own Until 2032 and Beyond</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\">\n10 Fintech Stocks To Own Until 2032 and Beyond\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-02-09 23:23 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2022/02/10-fintech-stocks-to-own-until-2032-and-beyond/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>It was one of the hottest sectors early last year.

Not only is this company a fintech stock masquerading as an old-school payments stock, it’s a relatively cheap one to boot. FISV stock today trades for around 18.9x projected 2021 earnings, and 16.4x projected 2022 earnings. Yes, this established company isn’t growing at the same clip as more early-stage names.However, with earnings expected to jump around 15.5% this year, it may be deserving a slightly higher valuation. At just over $100 per share today, and if you add in the potential for it to see continued strong growth and adaptation, then Fiserv could be trading for substantially higher prices ten years out.Intuit Source: dennizn / Shutterstock.comWhen you think of Intuit, this software company’s QuickBooks and TurboTax services may first come to mind. Both nice business to have under one’s belt for sure. High margin, with deep economic moats. But do they make them a fintech company? At first, you may think instead this is more like a finance-focused software as a service (SaaS) company.However, don’t forget that Credit Karma and Mint are its other major products. All together, they’ve helped it capitalize on the integration of finance and technology. They’ve also enabled this more mature company to grow itsannual revenuefrom $6.78 billion in Fiscal 2019 (ending July 2019), to $10.3 billion over the trailing twelve months.Chances are, they’ll continue to do so in the years ahead. With its aforementioned platforms, it is well-positioned to remain a one stop shop for Millennials and Gen Z to do their taxes, access credit, and manage their wealth. Intuit’s enterprise offerings also put it in a great spot to benefit from thedigitalization of corporate accounting/finance.After dropping 15% so far this year, due to the tech-selloff, INTU appears to be a fintech stock on sale. You may want to grab it, either now, or any additional weakness that may arise over the next few months.Mastercard Source: David Cardinez / Shutterstock.comMastercard is a high-quality business. The credit card processor continues to operate in an oligopoly with its longtime rival Visa. This brings with it high profit margins, and consistent profitability.Unfortunately, it also brings with it a premium valuation for MA stock. Trading for 36.7x, it may seem pricey. Especially as it seems that, in time, fintech rivals will drain its economic moat, taking away its edge, and possibly its status as a “wonderful company.”Then again, concerns about it getting its lunch eaten by newer fintechs may be overblown. At least, that’s the view ofWeitz Investment Management. The asset management firm’s portfolio managers recently argued that both Mastercard and Visa operate“the rails over which electronic payments travel.”This leaves upstarts dependent on them in order to operate.It also gives the old school processors like this one an edge in terms of competing with them. The company is doing just that,via recent acquisitions. This may explain why MA stock has held up a lot better lately, as the market appreciates its incumbent status. It may also pave the way for the stock, which at around $374 per share is just under its all-time high, to continue climbing higher, its premium valuation notwithstanding.Paysafe Source: Sulastri Sulastri / Shutterstock.comA year ago, PSFE stock was in the catbird’s set, in a way. A payment processor for the online gambling industry, it appeared well-positioned to benefit from the explosion of legalized sportsbooks and online casinos in the U.S.It was also a SPAC stock. This resulted in a lot of attention from speculators, looking to “get rich” from the bubble that emerged last year in this once-arcane area of the market. Unfortunately, throughout 2021, its connection to both trends went from being a positive, to being a negative.First, the SPAC wipeout, which put shares on a downwards trajectory right from the start after its “deSPACing.” Then, the deflating of the sports betting bubble,plus downward revisions to its guidance, put it into freefall in November.The end result? Changing hands today for about $3.5 per share, it’s fallen more than 80% over the past year. The past twelve months have been tough for PSFE stock. Still, you may want to take a second look, following its beatdown. AsInvestorPlace’sDana Blankenhorn recently argued, the situation with the companycould change in the years ahead. It may get worse before it gets better, yet getting in today, and riding out volatility, shares could ultimately re-hit higher prices.PayPal Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.comYou can’t talk about fintech stocks without talking about PayPal. With the launch of its payments platform two decades back, it is a pioneer in this space. With a wide variety of financial service offerings for individuals and merchants, it controls a large piece of the digital segments market.The “digitization of money” trade, which kicked off at the start of the pandemic, resulted in PYPL stock going on a stunning run. Between spring of 2020, and last summer, it soared from around $100, to as much as $310.16 per share. Yet since July 2021, it’s taken a big dive.At around $120 per share today, it’s all but given back its gains over the past two years. The reasons for this are numerous. First, of course, the upcoming rate hikes have made investors less bullish on growth plays. Second,underwhelming quarterly results and outlookhave made the market more hesitant to give it a premium valuation.So, with so much bad news, which include it as a possible buy? There may be a silver lining to its recent troubles. The resultant price declines have pushed it to a much more reasonable valuation (26.9x). If its growth slowdown is not as bad as it looks, its recent big declines could reverse in time.SoFi Technologies Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.comAs the market has soured on fintech stocks, so too have they grown less enthusiastic about SOFI stock. As you may recall, the former SPAC looked like it was on the verge of making a comeback last fall. But between all the sentiment shifts and volatility experienced since then, it’s no surprise that shares have taken a sharp plunge over the past three months.Trading in the low-$20s per share in mid-November, today the digital-first financial supermarket trades for around $12 per share. Put simply, this may have been an overreaction. Not only does the continued rise of fintech bode well for it in the long-term. In the short-term, it may have a shot of making a recovery.Last week, I discussed how SOFI stock may be one of the best names to buy followingWall Street’s late January move into panic mode. Why? Now holding a banking charter, the company may be getting into traditional banking at the right time, as interest rates rise. This may give it a quicker path to the point of profitability.If SoFi Technologies gets out of the red, and keeps on seeing its platform expand (in terms of both revenue and users), the stock could get out of its recent slump. At the very least, make a partial recovery.Block Source: IgorGolovniov / Shutterstock.comLike with its rival PayPal, Block (formerly Square) has seen the crowd from being extremely in its favor, to extremely out of its favor. It hasn’t given back all of its pandemic era gains. Yet after falling around 60% over the past six months, to $109 per share, it pretty much has done just that.The crowd’s no longer on its side, butJPMorgan’s(NYSE:JPM) Tien-Tsin Huang doesn’t see this as a reason to avoid the stock. Instead, the sell-side analyst hasrecently rated shares a “buy,” with a $200 per share price target. Huang’s rationale? With the Afterpay deal now under its belt, integrating it with its existing operations could help boost gross profits.In the longer run, with its multitude of platforms (Square merchant services, CashApp and now Afterpay for customers), Block still stands to benefit greatly from the continued rise of fintech. Having said all this, valuation may remain a concern. The stock today trades for around 54x earnings.If rate hikes come in worse than expected, this rich valuation could see further compression. You may not want to jump into SQ stock right away. Keep this on your watchlist of fintech stocks, possibly buying it if it takes another major dive.Upstart Source: Postmodern Studio / Shutterstock.comLike SOFI, UPST stock is another fintech stock that could become a winner again well before 2032 arrives. Albeit, with a caveat. A rebound will only happen if upcoming rate hikes aren’t as severe as the most doom and gloom forecasts suggest.What do I mean? As I recently discussed, the upcoming rise in interest rates has resulted in severe multiple compression for shares in fast-growing tech companies. Yet in the case of Upstart, whose technology enables lenders to assess credit risk using artificial intelligence (AI), the compression may have been overdone.Unlike some other fintech/SaaS names, which have seen high revenue growth, but no profits,that’s not the case here with UPST stock. With the rapid adoption of its platform last year, the company’s top-line has skyrocketed, and it currently generates positive earnings.Although its rate of growth is slowing down (from 245.6% to 49.5%), it could see a big boost, if three rate hikes of 0.25% each are all we see from the Federal Reserve in 2022. If earnings hit the top end of projections, and rates stay low enough that this stock can sustain a P/E ratio of 101x? A move back to over $200 per share for this stock (currently just under $100 per share) may be achievable.Western Union Source: DW labs Incorporated/Shutterstock.comTo wrap up this gallery, let’s take a look at a name that really doesn’t appear to be a fintech play on the surface. I’ll concede that it’s far easier to make the “dinosaur” argument for Western Union than it is for Fiserv and Mastercard.Its name alone, harkening back to its 19th century roots as a telegraph company, suggests its not long for this more digitized financial world. Even so, before declaring that it’s done for in a world where crypto, payment apps, and other solutions make its money transfer business archaic, bear in mind it’staking active steps to stay relevantto changes in global fund remittance.That’s not to say it’ll pan out. After all, you can cite scores of old line companies whose attempts to adapt to chance were too little, too late. Yet with WU stock, trading for just 9.22x earnings, its secular decline is already priced-in. Perhaps, too priced-in.Even if it has just a limited amount of success with a digital transformation then it may be enough to help spark an outsized rebound for this cheaply priced stock. Yes, it’s more a deep value play than one of the other fintech stocks here. Even so, you may still want to consider buying it, as it stays at a fire sale price.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":347,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":884497361,"gmtCreate":1631924942553,"gmtModify":1676530669670,"author":{"id":"3572397521268164","authorId":"3572397521268164","name":"JayTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2df5c1d990871ccbfc0f26d4948532db","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3572397521268164","idStr":"3572397521268164"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like and comment","listText":"Pls like and comment","text":"Pls like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/884497361","repostId":"1171558890","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1171558890","pubTimestamp":1631921912,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1171558890?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-18 07:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US IPO Week Ahead: Software, consumer products, and payment tech lead a diverse 14 IPO week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1171558890","media":"renaissancecap...","summary":"Summer may be over, but the IPO market is just heating up as 14 IPOs are slated to raise $5.3 billio","content":"<p>Summer may be over, but the IPO market is just heating up as 14 IPOs are slated to raise $5.3 billion in the week ahead.

Facebook’s net income grew 94% to $9.5 billion, from $4.9 billion a year prior.\nFacebook attributed the significant increase in revenue to a 30% year-over-year increase in the average price per ad and a 12% increase in the number of ads delivered.\nFacebook said it expects its revenue growth to remain stable or accelerate modestly in the second quarter compared with slower growth a year prior due to the pandemic. The company, however, expects revenue growth in the third and fourth quarters to significantly decelerate sequentially compared with fast growth experienced during those periods a year prior as a result of the pandemic.\nAdditionally, the company is bracing for “ad targeting headwinds” as a result of regulatory and platform challenges. Most notably, this includes Apple’s recent privacy changes in iOS 14 that may make it more difficult for the company to personalize ads for iPhone and iPad users. This iOS 14 change will begin having an impact on Facebook’s ad targeting in the second quarter.\nFacebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg talked about the company’sfocus on building e-commerce featuresas a key part of deliveringa “personalized” experienceto users. Zuckerberg also announced that the company now counts more than 1 billion monthly active users who visit Facebook’s Marketplace service, where users can buy and sell goods.\n“Commerce have been growing in our services for a while, but it has become a lot more important as the pandemic has accelerated a broader shift towards businesses moving online,” Zuckerberg said.\nZuckerberg also reiterated a number of new features the company is building forInstagram creators to make money. He said those features will incentivize creators to post more content on Instagram.\n“If we become the best place for creators to make a living that’s going to mean that there’s better content across the services and better opportunities for community building and engaging people,” Zuckerberg said. “And that’s what we care about.”\nFacebook’s stock rose slightly following Zuckerberg’s remarks on these upcoming creator features.\nFacebook said it counts 3.45 billion monthly users across its family of apps, compared with 3.30 billion in the previous quarter. This metric is used to measure Facebook’s total user base across its main app, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp.\nIn the U.S. and Canada, Facebook’s user base remained flat at 195 million daily active users for the second consecutive quarter. Its user base in Europe increased to 309 million daily active users, up from 308 million in the fourth quarter.\n\nFacebook’s “Other” revenue came in at $732 million for the quarter, up 146% compared with last year. That accounted for nearly 3% of Facebook’s revenue in the quarter. This includes sales of Oculus virtual reality headsets and Portal video-chatting devices.\nThe company also said it expects its 2021 capital expenditures to be in the range of $19 billion to $21 billion, which is down from the prior estimate of between $21 billion and $23 billion that it had provided.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":58,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":373780739,"gmtCreate":1618883632321,"gmtModify":1704716314991,"author":{"id":"3572397521268164","authorId":"3572397521268164","name":"JayTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2df5c1d990871ccbfc0f26d4948532db","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3572397521268164","idStr":"3572397521268164"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":6,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/373780739","repostId":"2128689062","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2128689062","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":1618862511,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2128689062?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-20 04:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street slips off record highs, Tesla drops after fatal crash","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2128689062","media":"Reuters","summary":"Tesla falls after fatal crash, bitcoin slumpsGameStop shares jump as CEO exitsCoca-Cola rises as revenue beats estimates.

As you can see in this FINTECH ecosystem Business Insider slide, we bolded the<i>Payments and Remittances</i>space, as that is our preferred area to invest. Others can invest in FINTECH's through Alternative Finance companies or digital banks or Insurtechs, but for us, we love the payment sector. We are attracted to the predictable, sustainable and recurring revenues of their businesses, where they essentially earn revenue per swipe economics.</p><p>When most investors discuss FINTECH, they rarely (if ever) discuss the exchanges. Similar to these payment and transaction-based models, many of the exchanges also earn revenue, free cash flow and profits per transaction or trade. When it comes to trading certain assets (interest rates, equities, commodities, foreign currency, etc), there tends to be high barriers to entry or an impregnable moat around certain franchises. While many of these businesses are not recession proof, they have proven to be recession resistant.</p><p><b>Financials:</b></p><p>While Financials only represent 11.3% of the S&amp;P 500 (as of March 2021), roughly 3/4rd's of this sector's weight is comprised of traditional financial institutions, like banks and insurance companies. These businesses are typically credit sensitive, with opaque and complex balance sheets. To simplify the banking model, the underlying asset is the US dollar and they simply look to borrow that capital at a low fee and lend it out to borrowers at a higher rate. This spread business can generate excellent returns, but it comes with a risk. Is the bank following a solid and time-tested risk model? Are borrowers credit worthy?</p><p>If an investor has exposure to the Financial sector, one should have a strong opinion on the 10-year yield. The 10-year stands at 1.7% and has significantly risen over the last several months. The Financial sector has a 5-year rolling correlation with the 10-year Treasury of 67% (per Scotiabank and Bloomberg research). We simply choose to not invest in banks and business models that don't have ourideal characteristics (click here).</p><p>As we stated above, we are attracted to businesses that generate steady and recurring and free cash flow. Unfortunately, most Financials are not transaction based business models.</p><p><b>Our Goal:</b></p><p>This note will review digital currencies, Bitcoin and the opportunity in the exchange space. We will use our over two decades of experience following and owning exchanges to draw some parallels for this new asset class. For example, there are \"big picture\" matters concerning storage, access, theft, usage, documentation, identity, rights and dozens of other issues. Blockchain and technology advancements theoretically solve some of these problems, but unfortunately not all.</p><p>Some digital currency or technology experts might find this analysis rudimentary. Others are new to this asset class and want a primer on the industry. That's our primary goal or target, is to provide an initial 30,000 foot view on digital currencies and then dive into the details of the largest (and soon to be public) exchange.</p><p>As always, we strive to present our work in a very readable format. If they had the patience to read our research, we attempt to write our notes so our 80-year father or 14-year old son could easily understand. We will try our best to review the requirements to be considered a currency, volatility, pricing, digital wallets, NFT's (non-fungible tokens), stable coins and some other digital currency issues. After that, we will do a fairly deep dive into Coinbase (ticker COIN). You can read their nearly 300-page S-1 filing with theSEC (click here)or you can let us serve as your \"Cliff Notes\" version. We will discuss their business model, how they generate revenue, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as provide a framework for valuation and a price target. We hope you find this latest research from Manole Capital topical and interesting.</p><p><b>Digital Currencies:</b></p><p>In our 1st quarter 2021 investor newsletter, which we published on Seeking Alpha, we discussed COIN's business and its opportunity. We wrote a couple pages on the subject, but felt it deserved a much larger and dedicated piece of research.</p><p>Before we dive into Coinbase, we wanted to provide our thoughts on Bitcoin and digital currencies. As we stated in the opening paragraph, Manole Capital believes the payments industry is the dominant FINTECH sector. Over the last 5 years, we have done a significant amount of work on digital currencies, trying to understand their best usage, functionality and role in the future of payments. Are digital currencies a threat to the payment networks, processors and merchant acquirers? In order to answer these questions, one has to understand how a typical payment transaction occurs. Who processes, clears and settles a card transaction?</p><p>We have written dozens of articles on this subject, which can easily be viewed here. In our opinion, there are two main requirements for something to be considered a viable currency. One is that it must be a \"store of value\" and the second is that it must be a \"medium of exchange\".</p><p><b>The Requirements To Be A Currency:</b></p><p>In order to be a viable currency, two specific requirements are needed. One is that the currency should be a<b>\"store of value\".</b>This is often defined as any asset that can smoothly maintain its economic value, rather than rapidly depreciating. The other requirement is that the currency should be a<b>\"medium of exchange</b>\" or an instrument used to facilitate the sale, purchase or trade of goods between parties.</p><p>In terms of speed and efficiency, there is no comparison when comparing the centralized payment system to Bitcoin's decentralized platform. Visa processes 1,700 transactions per second and it claims to have 40x the spare capacity, to handle 65,000 transactions per second. PayPal (PYPL) stated that during the 2020 holiday shopping season, it processed over 1,000 transactions per second. Using Bitcoin and its blockchain for global purchases and payments can process roughly 7 transactions per second.</p><p>As technology improves, one could argue Bitcoin processing will improve. However, if Bitcoin were to get used for payments, the conversion of crypto holdings into US dollars will dramatically increase overall network transactions. We are big believers in the concept of...\"if it ain't broke, don't fix it!\"</p><p>There are significant acceptance advantages to the existing payment ecosystem. Visa and Mastercard are accepted in over 200 countries and at over 40 million global merchants. Their payment acceptance brands stand for trust and allows billions of purchase transactions to occur each year. The Visa and Mastercard logos are known around the world, permitting the exchange of goods and services in seconds. While Bitcoin is slowly becoming more recognizable, it simply does not have the same acceptance. We believe the existing payment ecosystem handles the \"medium of exchange\" process well. The overall payment landscape is a well-oiled machine, that involves three to four parties, approving transactions in in roughly 1 to 2 seconds.</p><p>We have discussed the long-term opportunity for a FINTECH company or two to create a \"Super App Holy Grail\". This would be allowing customers to transact with their mobile phone, in whatever currency they wish, at all global merchants. Getting consumers to get rid of their leather wallets is easier said than done. Even though we consider ourselves to be fairly technologically savvy, we still have a wallet that looks a lot like Seinfeld's George Costanza's.</p><p>Several companies have recently announced their intentions to help spur Bitcoin acceptance. On March 30th, 2021, PYPL announced the launch of its \"Checkout with Crypto\" option. Participating merchants (initially ½ of PYPL's 29 million) can offer their customers the ability to pay for purchases using Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum or Bitcoin Cash. How will this work? Once a PYPL customer purchases or stores crypto holdings in their PYPL digital wallet, he/she will be permitted to use those funds at checkout. When a transaction occurs, PYPL users will see the option to apply their balance to complete a purchase. When customers choose this payment option, PYPL will exchange their crypto for US dollars through its clearinghouse partner, Paxos. The transaction will occur based upon a spot market rate, with a 50 basis point spread built in. PYPL will then remit payment (in US dollars) to the merchant, to satisfy the exchange of goods or services.</p><p>While this sounds easy, there are significant hurdles. Certain details are still emerging, but customers using this service must buy their crypto within their PYPL digital wallet. This will satisfy PYPL's adherence to Know Your Customer (KYC) guidelines, but it doesn't solve all potential hiccups. The four cryptocurrencies PYPL said customers can use, are likely to cause problems. The SEC and IRS have not deemed these to be currencies, but instead, consider them capital assets. If they were to be used for payment, the underlying client will potentially have capital gain taxes, if their PYPL digital wallet has paper gains. If you are making a $20 purchase at Walgreen's, we don't believe customers are wanting to consider the tax ramifications of using their Bitcoin balance in their digital wallet. That potential $20 purchase could potentially cost you a tax liability of 100%.</p><p>Even if we ignore the large tax issues, there are additional worries. So, if the cryptocurrency in your digital wallet is going to be used to fund purchases, who is going to pay for it? Merchants will have to pay for the cost of converting cryptocurrencies into US dollars, whatever that cost might be. There will be the traditional merchant discount rates applied, but this will ultimately be another cost for merchants to bear. Besides a company like Tesla, that has a dynamic CEO, do you envision merchant's dying to accept additional costs to help their customers transact? Especially when cards are so ubiquitous?</p><p>So,Teslahas decided it will accept Bitcoin as a form of payment. What does this really mean? If a consumer has a sizeable gain in Bitcoin and wishes to use it to purchase a \"free\" Tesla, there are serious tax consequences. Just like selling an appreciated stock, where a consumer has to pay capital gains taxes, Bitcoin would be under the same burden. Until the IRS classifies Bitcoin as a currency, and not property, this tax problem will remain.</p><p>The second problem comes if the Tesla buyer decides to return his/her new vehicle. Tesla reserves the right to pay the consumer back in cash, worth the original purchase price, not in Bitcoin. If Bitcoin jumps in value since the original transaction date, the consumer would be negatively impacted. If Bitcoin falls in price, Tesla could return a depreciated Bitcoin to the car buyer. Are there hundreds of thousands of consumers yearning to purchase a Tesla with Bitcoin? We doubt there's too many, especially if they are aware of the tax issues.</p><p>Last week, Visa announced it would use various FINTECH API's (application programming interface) offered by cryptocurrency custodian and privately-held Anchorage. Visa plans to settle transactions using US dollar stablecoin, powered by the Ethereum blockchain. Once again, this is exciting news, but will likely encounter problems and take a while to come to fruition.</p><p>Before one uses Bitcoin to transact at the POS (point of sale), be actually believe it can become an excellent opportunity for money transfer. Western Union is about to turn 170 years old and can be considered the original FINTECH company. However, moving paper currency around the world is not terribly technologically advanced. Visa has launched an expanded version of its<i>Direct</i>platform, which will allow for cross border disbursements. Visa's platform supports real-time domestic and cross-border person-to-person, business-to-small business and business-to-consumer use cases, so the options are endless. Bill Sheley is the global head of Visa Direct, and he stated, \"Visa is innovating to give financial institutions, governments, individuals and businesses new ways to pay and get paid beyond the card.\"</p><p>On the \"store of value\" front, the total addressable market for assets is enormous. For example, art and collectibles are a $20 trillion market, gold is $10 trillion, real estate is $200 trillion, bonds are $100 trillion and equities are another $30 trillion.</p><p>50% of gold is used in jewelry and another 1/3 is used in electronics. While gold used to back fiat currencies, Britain dropped the gold standard in 1931. The US followed suit in 1933 and totally abandoned the gold standard in 1973. There are additional issues to consider like fixed or variable supply, as well as volatility concerns.</p><p>We agree that digital currencies are becoming a feasible \"store of value\". In our opinion, digital currencies have significant challenges to becoming a \"medium of exchange\". With that caveat, the opportunity for the crypto-economy and digital currencies to thrive is still open ended and vast.</p><p><b>Inflation:</b></p><p>The world is always looking for additional asset classes and stores of value, especially as governments keep the currency printing presses running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.</p><p>Last year, the Federal Reserve printed an unprecedented amount of dollars, roughly 1/5 th of all US dollars ever printed. On a daily basis, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing produces over $500 million over 38 million notes.</p><p>If you are the United States and the dollar is considered the dominant global currency, your perception of Bitcoin (or any digital assets) should be of concern. The ability of countries to simply print money should inherently be inflationary, yet Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell continues to seek to get the US at and above 2% annually.</p><p>A couple of weeks ago, the Biden administration announced an infrastructure bill, called the American Jobs Plan, with a $2 trillion spending target. In March of 2021, US government passed a $1.9 trillion stimulus package. This followed a December of 2020 stimulus package of $900 billion, as well as a CARES Act in March 2020 bill of $2.2 trillion. We are not making a statement about the merits of any of these packages and stimulus programs. We simply are trying to point out the massive amount of money that is getting printed.</p><p>Many cryptocurrency bulls will cite inflationary worries with fiat currencies for why their digital cryptocurrencies assets are undervalued. We understand this argument, but always come back to an initial framework. If you are the US or the European Union or Chinese government, would you be able to control your society if there wasn't a viable currency in place? Would economies function without government control of its fiat currency? If cryptocurrencies become widely accepted and are considered a better version of payment, would governments be able to function? If the US couldn't issue additional debt to fund its spending initiatives, would it even exist? We just don't believe government regulators will allow certain cryptocurrencies to thrive, especially if it threatens their sovereign currencies.</p><p>We tend to look at this as a simple supply and demand equation. While Bitcoin has currently issued 18.7 million tokens, there is only a maximum of 21 million that can be created. That fixed supply is counter to some governments. For example, there are countries that have taken the printing of fiat currency too far. Zimbabwe is but one example of runaway inflation. Here's a picture of one of their 100 trillion bills. Yes, that's a 100 trillion. Do you want to be a trillionaire?

If we look at the top 10 digital assets by market capitalization, the vast majority of market share falls to just 2 currencies.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4f0caa7a9dbd54216c5e67fb83199d42\" tg-width=\"859\" tg-height=\"576\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><i>* Source: This is a Piper Sandler slide/chart</i></p><p>It is estimated that Bitcoin is over 55% of all cryptocurrency market capitalization and Ethereum is roughly 11%. Cryptocurrencies like Tether, Binance Coin, Stellar, Cardano, Litecoin have a modest following and just 1% to 2% market share (all under $50 million in market cap).</p><p>Digital currencies should be considered assets, as they can be represented digitally, dynamically transmitted, and stored safely in the cloud. However, digital assets and cryptocurrencies have a long way to go to become used in our globally interconnected economies.</p><p><b>Rules &amp; Regulations:</b></p><p>In a perfect world, we think all assets should trade 365 days a year and 24 hours a day. In this hypothetical environment, assets should immediately process and settle and fees to transact should be modest. Why does the NYSE only officially operate from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm EST Monday through Friday (and not on holidays)? There are trades that occur pre-market and post-market hours, but liquidity and volumes are sparse. The simple answer is that this is the way it has always occurred and why should we change something that isn't broken.</p><p>The traditional exchanges have always had a set period of time where they are \"open for business\", but this is changing. For example, the technology backbone of the CME Group (ticker CME) is called Globex. It essentially permits 24/7 trading to occur on its electronic platform for equities, interest rates, commodities, foreign exchange and other assets. After years of investing in international growth, roughly 1/5 th of all volumes come from outside of the US.</p><p>In order to have access to Globex, there are rules one needs to adhere to, as exchanges are heavily regulated entities. Just like banks need to conduct AML (anti-money laundering) and KYC (know your customer) due diligence on its customer base, the exchanges need to follow strict guidelines enforced by their regulators.</p><p>As of today, we believe there are over 50 distinct blockchain protocols which support more than 7,500 various digital assets. Unfortunately, the financial systems are not known as entities that are quick to adopt change and technology. The world has embraced the internet, as a revolutionary and transformational platform. However, financial systems are not comfortable seamlessly exchanging data, information and assets. There are numerous activities like cross border payments or peer-to-peer payments that are ideally suited for technological advancements, but rules and regulations exist to stymie growth.</p><p>The goal of an open and transparent financial system is honorable, but not terribly realistic. In terms of managing one's assets, especially money, the process can be cumbersome.</p><p><b>Volatility:</b></p><p>If we accept cryptocurrency as a digital asset, we then want to better understand how value is determined, where it can be stored and how best to process and handle its exchange. With decentralized assets, the network allows participants to transact without intermediaries. Who sets the value and determines price?</p><p>The most notable cryptocurrency is Bitcoin and it has a CAGR of over 150%, from 2013 to 2020. In 2017, it rose 1,318%, but then fell by (72.6%) in 2018. In 2020, it rose over 302% and it currently is up well over 50% this year. Since January of 2017, there have been 5 corrections of 50% of more in Bitcoin, so it can be wildly volatile.</p><p>We are slowly getting comfortable with digital assets and cryptocurrencies as a \"store of value\" and believe they will become a viable asset in one's diversified portfolio. Each individual or entity needs to determine their own risk and reward framework, so cryptocurrency might be 10 basis points or 10% of one's portfolio.</p><p>Opinions on Bitcoin are changing every day. Back in 2018, the CEO of Blackrock (Larry Fink) called Bitcoin a currency \"for money launderers.\" A year earlier, JP Morgan CEO, Jaime Dimon called Bitcoin a \"fraud\" and threated to fire any bank employee who dealt with the currency. Fast forward to today: Blackrock (in January 2021) enabled two of its mutual funds to purchase Bitcoin, and a JP Morgan analyst recently published that he thinks Bitcoin could rise to $146,000.</p><p>Recently, large institutional interest has boosted the price of certain digital assets. High profile investors like John Tudor Jones (May 2020) and Stanley Druckenmiller have made sizeable purchases of various digital currencies. Other companies like Microstrategy (August 2020) and Tesla (Feb 2021) have made sizeable transactions for their firm's balance sheet.</p><p><b>Stable Coins:</b></p><p>A stable coin is simply a digital asset that is attempts to lower volatility by pegging itself to an actual fiat currency or physical asset (ex: gold). For example, Tether has a market capitalization of over $40 billion, is backed by US dollars and it's the largest cryptocurrency stable coin. One of the risks associated with stable coins is ensuring that the proper amount of fiat currency is held in reserve to match the amount of stable coins in circulation.</p><p>In prior official commentary, the Governor of the Central Bank of Russia - Elvira Nabiullina - stated that Russa was against any form of private currency, as it threatened financial sovereignty. Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs also was considering seizing all digital currencies and claiming cryptocurrencies criminal activity. Now, in January 2021, the Bank of Russia began to test a ruble-based stable coin. While starting cautiously, the Russian Central Bank is exploring the possibility of issuing its own digital currency. There are numerous countries that are investigating the process of issuing CBDC's or Central Bank Digital Currencies. China has studied the process of issuing a digital yuan, the European Central Bank is looking into a digital Euro.</p><p>Other governments and regulators have highlighted the risks of digital currencies. The UK's Financial Conduct Authority called crypto assets \"high risk, speculative investments\" where investors \"should be prepared to lose all their money.\" US Treasury Secretary (and former Federal Reserve Chairwoman) Janet Yellen has warned on investing in digital currencies too. Just a week ago, India's Reserve Bank took a fairly bearish tone on digital currencies. Rumors are that India is looking to pass a law outlawing cryptocurrencies and making anyone trading or holding them punishable with sizeable fines. India's Finance minister is Nirmala Sitharaman and she said India's Cabinet will shortly issue a final ruling on the matter and that the governments ruling is \"under preparation and nearing completion\".</p><p>Will additional countries look to make cryptocurrencies illegal? These type of comments act as a governor to adoption and change. Politicians and governments are worried about losing control of their economies. Statements like this are further evidence that governments will remain a headwind. We aren't going to put this in the realm of a new \"space race\", but the country that embraces this technology first might have an early advantage versus those that are afraid of change.</p><p><b>Digital Currency Conclusion:</b></p><p>This quick digital currency discussion was created to set the framework for an analysis of Coinbase (ticker COIN). Will digital currencies replace traditional payment systems? We do not believe it will, but continued adoption and traction in digital currencies is noticeable.</p><p>Is Bitcoin poised to climb higher, or will it crash? We simply don't know. What we do know is that we prefer to own the medium where these \"assets\" trade. We would compare this to the Gold Rush of the mid-1800's. Back in 1849, owning Levi Strauss made a fortune selling picks, pans and shovels to '49ers looking for gold. Back then, some would say, \"There's gold in those mountains.\"</p><p>Nowadays, there's a huge opportunity in the collection of data and information. We truly have no idea what the price of Bitcoin will do, except we know that it will be very volatile. As we know, volatility leads to trading, which should equate to profits for the exchanges. Speaking of exchanges, let's now discuss another exchange and upcoming FINTECH direct listing - COIN.</p><p><b>Introduction to Coinbase (ticker COIN):</b></p><p>The stated goal of COIN is \"to create an open financial system for the world.\" While this is altruistic, it seems to be fairly broad based goal. It is noble to strive to create a financial system that is transparent for all mankind. It might be more prudent to strive to provide an end-to-end infrastructure and technology platform for all types of cryptocurrencies.</p><p>From our perspective, it might be judicious for COIN to focus its attention on providing value adding services for all types of digital currencies. If COIN becomes the dominant exchange where anyone can easily and securely send and receive Bitcoin, it will thrive. If COIN can create an efficient and accessible marketplace for the emerging digital assets community, it can be a massive success. There are hundreds of platforms that want to democratize access to the crypto-economy, but COIN (as the oldest and most recognizable brand) seems to have an early lead in this race.</p><p>Coinbase:</p><p>COIN was started in 2012 and it has built a trusted platform for accessing various crypto currencies. Using blockchain technology, COIN has simplified the user experience and reduced the complexity of purchasing, selling and holding digital currencies. In its early days, COIN was primarily just used for sending and receiving cryptocurrencies. Then, it became a trusted platform for those seeking to invest in various currencies. We liken this period as COIN's realization that it needed to become an \"exchange\" or intermediary between buyers and sellers. It has since launched cryptocurrency payments, distribution capabilities, storage, borrowing and lending services.</p><p>As this chart from COIN shows, there are over 45 different cryptocurrencies investors can purchase and another 90 that can be stored at COIN.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f91cd70c100e3a8159938dd730935867\" tg-width=\"767\" tg-height=\"319\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><i>* Source: This is a slide/chart from COIN's S-1</i></p><p>However, two primary digital currencies dominate COIN's total trading volumes. In 2020, Bitcoin represented 41% of COIN's trading volumes and 15% came from Ethereum. While this 56% is a decline from 2019 levels (72% of the total mix), we envision both will remain the primary digital currencies traded on COIN.</p><p><b>Revenue:</b></p><p>Over the last several years, COIN has materially grown its revenue. In 2019, revenue $533 million and it impressively grew to $1.3 billion last year. As we show in our pie chart, in 2020, COIN's $1.28 billion of revenue grew 130% year-over-year and was a mix of 86% Transactional, 3% Subscription &amp; Services and 11% \"Other\".</p><p>On April 6th, COIN reported 1st quarter 2021 results and the metrics were eye popping. Last quarter, COIN generated $1.8 billion in revenue, which exceeded the prior two years combined.</p><p>In 2020, 86% of COIN's total revenue was<i><b>Transactional</b></i>in nature. This means revenue was derived from sending, receiving, investing and spending cryptocurrencies. When it comes to Transactional revenue, we like to look at the fee as a percentage of total volume traded.</p><p>COIN provided this diagram and it shows exactly what products are inside of each of its revenue classifications. The remaining 15% of total revenue came from<i><b>Subscription &amp; Services,</b></i>which COIN classifies as paying, distributing, storage, and from borrowing and lending cryptocurrencies.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b0466f39ad66c6fefeaeee25b50847fb\" tg-width=\"922\" tg-height=\"716\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><i>* Source: This is a slide/chart from COIN's S-1</i></p><p>Storing earns custodial fee revenue, which we will dissect in a couple of pages. Staking revenue comes from validation on a proof-of-stake blockchain transaction. License revenue is generated from users of its Analytics services. Lastly, COIN can earn campaign revenue or distribution fees when its constructs educational materials for issuers. For cryptocurrency issuers, COIN earns revenue for helping the platform engage with its users, in the form of educational videos or tasks, when cryptocurrencies are attempting to widen their distribution, marketing and acceptance. While these ancillary services are nice, the real opportunity is trading.</p><p><b>Customer Type:</b></p><p>In its S-1 regulatory filing, COIN showed its product portfolio, separated from retail users, institutions and other ecosystem partners. One has to understand that different clients are paying different rates. Over the last 8 quarters, this revenue rate has averaged 0.61%, with a high of 0.80% in the 1st quarter of 2019 and a low of 0.50% in the 4th quarter of 2020.</p><p>Looking at the last 8 quarters, we can clearly see that both retail and institutional trading volumes have exploded higher. It is interesting to see that Retail was bigger at $45 billion in the 1 st quarter of 2018 than it was at the end of last year at $32 billion. Also, one can see that Institutional trading volumes have gone from $11 billion in the 1 st quarter of 2018 and now are over $57 billion.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6b80fa39db4f3163a635e88da58642ed\" tg-width=\"846\" tg-height=\"524\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><i>* Source: This is a slide/chart from COIN's S-1</i></p><p>COIN has different fees depending on whether or not the client is retail or institutional, as well as whether or not the client uses Coinbase or Coinbase Pro, which we will discuss this later on, in our pricing section.</p><p><b>Trading volumes:</b></p><p>In terms of exchanges, it all comes down to volumes. Crypto exchange volumes have soared, because of strong interest from both retail and institutional clients. This type of growth will not continue, but volatility tends to drive overall volumes.</p><p>Looking at this Compass table, one can clearly see that volumes noticeably increased in 2018, following the rise of Bitcoin in December of 2017. What happened in late 2017 that helped drive future trading volumes? Well, CBOE and CME both launched Bitcoin future contracts that month.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7170f3967e17422584307fc937c403b5\" tg-width=\"689\" tg-height=\"691\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><i>* Source: This is a slide/chart from Compass</i></p><p>So far in 2021, COIN has experienced 298% growth in ADV (average daily volumes). What did Bitcoin increase last year? Just over 300%. There's clearly a very high correlation between Bitcoin's recent price and COIN's future ADV.</p><p>One of our favorites aspects of investing in the exchanges is the ability to simply model the businesses in Excel. The large, publicly-traded exchanges provide wonderful transparency for investors, by posting daily volumes. We liken this to Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley providing real-time insights into their prop desk trading results. You shouldn't hold your breath for that level of transparency, right?</p><p><b>Bitcoin, Bitcoin and Bitcoin:</b></p><p>In the real estate business, the common phrase is that the 3 most important items are \"location, location and location.\" For digital currency exchanges, we believe the 3 most important products are \"Bitcoin, Bitcoin and more Bitcoin.\"</p><p>On COIN's platform, the volumes tend to be concentrated in a few different currencies. In 2019, BTC or Bitcoin was 58% of COIN's trading volumes, but that fell to 41% in 2020. ETH or Ethereum was 14% in 2019 and that grew slightly last year to 15% of COIN's total. The biggest category jump came from \"other\", which was 18% in 2019 and grew to 44% last year.</p><p>Having multiple products to transact in is obviously key, but COIN is cryptocurrency dependent. Yes, tokens like Dogecoin might come in and out of favor, but COIN is dependent upon higher Bitcoin and Ethereum prices.</p><p>A great aspect to owning CME is their transparency. Not only does CME provide daily ADV, but they provide details on open interest. We like to follow open interest, as it is a leading indicator of future volumes. Also, CME provides details on large open interest holders (called LOIH's) or those owners of a minimum of $7.5 million of Bitcoin futures. Over the last couple of months, CME has hit all-time highs in volumes in Bitcoin futures trading. This year, Bitcoin futures contracts on the CME have averaged 13,800 contracts per day, up 42% year-over-year.</p><p>Like CME, COIN has invested heavily in its technology to give its customers access to a deep pool of cryptocurrency liquidity. Like we just described, this liquidity can act as a virtuous cycle. Volumes beget more volumes and leading more customers onto the platform.</p><p><b>Pricing:</b></p><p>We focus on the trading volume of an exchange, but also try to model how revenues are generated from this volume. Each trade does not generate the same level of revenue, as different traders tend to pay different prices.</p><p>In derivative exchange land, we often look at commission prices as RPC or rate per contract. For example, CME charges $0.478 a contract to trade interest rates, $0.545 to trade equities, $0.764 to trade foreign currency, $1.397 to trade metals, $1.336 to trade agricultural commodities and $1.124 to trade energy. Within each product, prices can vary. For example, WTI crude is a different trading price versus natural gas contracts. While CME is trying to get more retail customers into trading futures and options, the vast majority of its volumes are from institutions.</p><p>At COIN, there are different fees for different clients. COIN has two main fee structures, one called Coinbase Pro and the other called Coinbase Prime. Here's a quick look at the pricing tiers, as discussed in the S-1 filing, based upon whether or not a client is taking or providing liquidity (called taker fee and maker fee).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cba2058d6aac36d1f5fa59d2261be3c1\" tg-width=\"527\" tg-height=\"649\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><i>* Source: This is a slide/chart from Compass</i></p><p>Transaction revenue, as a percentage of total volumes traded, has averaged 0.61% over the last 8 quarters. Over these 2 years, retail client transactional revenue has increased from 1.27% up to 1.47%. For institutional clients, revenues as a percentage of volumes traded has fallen from 0.07% down to 0.05%. Clearly, retail customers pay significantly more than institutional clients to trade.</p><p>Also, unlike transacting in a stock, COIN calls its transaction based revenue \"staking\" revenue. This is earned from transaction validation on a proof-of-stake blockchain, when COIN's nodes successfully creates or validates a certain block. This revenue is recognized when the rewards are available for transfer and at the point when the block creator or validation is complete. The metrics that determine the staking revenue are driven by quantity, price and rewards rate.</p><p><b>Customers:</b></p><p>The strengths of COIN's platform seem to be its vast and extensive network of contacts. COIN is leveraging its trusted brand to attract those that want access to transact or store cryptocurrencies.</p><p>COIN's growth strategy is based upon driving more customers onto its platform and becoming the de-facto platform for cryptocurrency. Just like the online brokers did in the 1990's, the key to growth was adding new accounts and clients to the platform.</p><p>In this COIN chart, one can see the exceptional growth in verified users or those that have \"demonstrated an interest\" in COIN's platform. In addition to these users, there are another 7,000 institutional customers, across roughly 100 countries.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b0ae20183f76b5f50213a6fba41d49f\" tg-width=\"671\" tg-height=\"663\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><i>* Source: This is a slide/chart from COIN's S-1</i></p><p>These verified users have registered for an account and confirmed either their email address or a phone number. In our model, we are not terribly interested in tracking verified users as a key metric. While it is nice to know who interested in cryptocurrencies, it is much more important to understand who is willing to transact.</p><p>As you can see in this Compass Point chart, COIN has 2.8 million MTU or monthly transacting users. In order to be considered a customer needs to have logged in and transacted one time, over a 28-day rolling period.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37e82feeeec96702e21745ad5bdc1c48\" tg-width=\"706\" tg-height=\"416\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><i>* Source: This is a slide/chart from Compass</i></p><p>It is interesting to see that there were 2.7 million MTU's in the 1 st quarter of 2018 and 2.8 million MTU's at the end of last year. Over those 2 years, MTU's dramatically declined and then lifted. As of today, COIN has roughly 3 million MTUs, which was up +180% year-over-year, but we like to think of it as only 7% of its verified total accounts.</p><p>This reminds us of the online brokerage business, back in the 1990's and 2000's. For years, the primary goal of marketing executives at the online brokers was to generate more and more accounts. The theory was that with new accounts, clients would eventually look to consolidate their relationships with one or possibly two firms. Once an account was opened, the goal was to increase wallet share from that satisfied customer.</p><p>For online brokerages, driving customers typically comes from TV advertising. One cannot watch CNBC or Bloomberg or Fox Business without seeing advertisements for Schwab, TD Ameritrade, E*Trade, Fidelity or Interactive Brokers. Robinhood was very successful in opening up investment accounts for the emerging Gen-Z demographic, but its well-publicized issues in late January (regarding prohibiting \"meme stocks\" purchases) might impact its torrid account growth.</p><p>How does COIN plan on increasing its exposure and customer base? Our guess is that it will look to increase its marketing spend. The ROI or return on investment of TV marketing is somewhat opaque. We anticipate COIN learning from its foray into marketing and advertising, with some successes, as well as some failures.</p><p>The best avenue to increase accounts and customers is to offer a product that cannot be easily replicated. COIN can continue its account growth by launching new and innovative products, as well as offering access to new cryptocurrencies.</p><p>While BTC or Bitcoin is the dominant cryptocurrency today, maybe there will be a new and exciting cryptocurrency in vogue tomorrow. Over the last few months, Dogecoin has garnered significant attention and media coverage. While we shake our head and do not understand the fascination with this cryptocurrency, the goal for COIN is to attract and become the go to platform for those that wish to transact. COIN needs to expand its support of all digitally native cryptocurrencies and help to tokenize new assets.</p><p><b>Storage:</b></p><p>While the vast majority of COIN's revenue is trading based, COIN does earns subscription and service revenue when customers choose to safely store their cryptocurrencies on its platform.</p><p>COIN is one of the most trusted exchanges in the crypto space and operate as a \"qualified custodian\". This means that they have a separate company, called Coinbase Custody, which operates as a standalone, independently-capitalized business. Under New York State Banking Law, Coinbase Custody is considered a fiduciary. All digital assets are segregated and held in a trust. COIN has never suffered a hack that led to loss of funds and cannot afford to ever have that breached.</p><p>As you can see in this COIN asset chart shows, there has been excellent growth on the platform. At the end of 2020, COIN had $90.3 billion in assets on its platform, which was up +432% year-over-year.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa49892f328f6968397671bfc6bfbab1\" tg-width=\"887\" tg-height=\"689\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><i>* Source: This is a slide/chart from COIN's S-1</i></p><p>Of these assets, 70% was from Bitcoin and another 13% were Ethereum. Clearly, those two currencies represent the bulk of COIN's platform assets.</p><p><b>Wallets:</b></p><p>The leather wallet in your pocket holds a combination of cash and credit/debit cards. However, cryptocurrencies and tokens need to be kept in a crypto wallet. \"Hot wallets\" are connected to the internet and are considered much less secure, while \"cold wallets\" are kept offline. Most cryptocurrency custodians employ \"cold\" storage to safely hold a client's digital assets.</p><p>Acting as a cold cryptocurrency custodian (say that 3x fast), COIN derives fee revenue based on a percentage of the daily value of customer accounts. The assets under custody are a function of quantity, price and type of cryptocurrency asset.</p><p><b>Custody:</b></p><p>In addition to hot versus cold wallets, there are two primary ways to store your Bitcoin. The first is called self-custody. This is when an individual or entity has complete control of their Bitcoin. This entails maintaining and controlling your own private key. When it comes to Bitcoin storage, there is a popular self-custody mantra that says, \"not your keys, not your coins\". This implies that if you do not control the private key for your Bitcoin, it is not truly your Bitcoin.</p><p>The second way to store your Bitcoin is to outsource it to a trusted custodian, like Kraken, Coinbase, Anchorage or others. In this case, the custodian stores your Bitcoin for you and they have control over its private key. Kraken is security focused and has an time-tested private key management practice. In its 10-years of existence, it has never been hacked.</p><p>Whether one decides to self-custody or use an outsourced custody provider for storing your Bitcoin, two critical issues must be discussed. The first is trust. Do you trust the custodial firm that holds your Bitcoin? If one self-custodies, they bear the risk of lost private keys, break-ins or natural disasters. On the other hand, self-custody ensures you control your own Bitcoin. The obvious downside of self-custody is that one can lose all of your Bitcoin, if it is not stored properly.</p><p>Do you trust the bank that holds your checking account or brokerage firm that holds your stocks? US financial institutions are some of the most highly regulated companies in the world and most have proven themselves to be good custodians of our assets. Maybe we can exclude Lehman Brothers and AIG from that statement, but it is fair statement for the other 10,000+ financial institutions in the US.</p><p>Does trusting a firm called Kraken, with millions of dollars' worth of Bitcoin, sound like a sound idea? Some might prefer to custody with a firm like Bank of New York, which announced in March of 2021, that it intends to enter the Bitcoin custody business. However, does Bank of New York have the technological expertise and security protocols of newer entrants like Kraken? With a random name like Manole Capital, we clearly don't place too much emphasis on one's name. We do however appreciate 3 rd party, independent industry rankings. Kraken has been voted the #1 most secure cryptocurrency exchange by ICO Ratings.</p><p>The second key issue to consider is protection and safety. Cryptocurrency custodians and exchanges are a prime target for hackers. There are hundreds and potentially thousands of thieves looking to steal your Bitcoin private key. PayPal and Robinhood recently sent warnings instructing their clients to install two factor authentication onto their digital wallets / account. Also, governments can force companies to freeze funds, if they perceive illegal activity or fraudulent behavior.</p><p>Trusting someone else to store and manage your Bitcoin is a challenging decision. There have been a few custody firms to have disastrous results (i.e. Mt. Gox), but there are also extremely competent businesses that can trusted to hold your cryptocurrencies. For us, we prefer an expert store our assets, as opposed to keeping it under the proverbial mattress.</p><p><b>Characteristics:</b></p><p>As we mentioned earlier, there are certainideal characteristicswe look for in our investments. COIN has a strong brand name and dominates its cryptocurrency niche. Its platform is scalable and by leveraging certain blockchain advancements, COIN can provide a safe and secure environment for its customers.</p><p>We often look for our companies to have dominant market shares, high barriers to entry and what Warren Buffett calls a \"moat around the franchise\". Regardless of industry, we always focus on an investment's market share. In terms of COIN's cryptocurrency market share, it has risen from 4.5% in 2018 to 8.3% in 2019 up to 11.0% in 2020.</p><p>For exchanges, there is typically 1 or 2 firms that dominate the trading of a specific asset. These exchanges have the best liquidity and the tightest bid/ask spreads. For example, the CME dominates US interest rate trading, as well as WTI crude trading. Intercontinental Exchange dominates the Brent crude marketplace. Once an exchange begins to control trading for a certain asset, it is very difficult for a competitor to steal market share. Some try to lower trading pricing and commissions, but this usually is only temporary. Investors are always seeking best execution and will usually return to the marketplace with the most liquidity and tightest bid/ask spreads. From an exchange standpoint, this is definition of dominant market share, competitive advantage or possessing a moat around your franchise.</p><p>Ideally, COIN is looking to become the one-stop shop for those wishing to buy, sell and/or store cryptocurrency. COIN has many of the desirable characteristics we look for in an investment, but it does have risks.</p><p><b>Risk #1: Bitcoin</b></p><p>For a business like COIN, there are literally dozens of risks. For starters, cryptocurrencies are volatile and we anticipate COIN's stock will be highly correlated to the price of BTC, Bitcoin and other important cryptocurrencies.</p><p>As we have mentioned, the underlying price of these cryptocurrencies helps to determine COIN's revenue and profits. Possibly the biggest risk for owning COIN stock will be its reliance and dependency on rising Bitcoin and Ethereum prices.</p><p><b>Risk #2: Competition</b></p><p>On the retail front, COIN has numerous competitors. For example, both Square's Cash App (36 million users) and PayPal (375 million accounts) are offering mobile-based wallets, primarily to retail clients. Customers can purchase various cryptocurrencies on both Square and PayPal and store them for free.</p><p>Over time, we expect both of these firms to begin to allow wallet holders to transact in whatever currency he/she wishes. For example, a customer can use their Square Cash App wallet to transact at over 3 million Square merchant acquiring locations. This mobile wallet will permit credit or debit transactions, but might also permit the user to utilize their Bitcoin balance. There are numerous issues that still need to be resolved on this front, but this is what we have been calling \"closing-the-loop\".</p><p><b>Risk #3: Regulations</b></p><p>Exchanges are highly regulated entities and they must learn to engage with their regulators for the benefit of all market participants. COIN is subject to a regulated environment, but the rules and landscape are dynamic. Unlike US financials, with a known regulator, the laws and rules cryptocurrencies are subject to are constantly changing. As COIN moves more of its business to international markets, it will have additional governmental issues to deal with.</p><p>The new SEC Chairman is Gary Gensler. Gensler was the head of the CFTC from May 2009 to January 2014 and was the primary regulator for the derivative exchanges. In his tenure at the CFTC, Gensler attempted to write rules and regulations for the swap markets, as suggested in the Dodd Frank Act of 2010 (following the Financial Crisis). Now that Gensler is at the SEC, one of his first challenges is what to do about regulating and providing oversight on Bitcoin and other digital currencies. He is not new to digital currencies, as he was a professor at MIT's Sloan School of Management after his stint at the CFTC. He primarily taught about blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies.</p><p>As of today, there are only a few crypto funds available to investors. Grayscale has over $38 billion in assets and is the sponsor of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTC:GBTC), which is provides Bitcoin exposure for qualified investors. GBT investors have a $25,000 minimum investment and currently pay a 2.5% management fee.</p><p>Many firms (Skybridge Capital, Valkyrie Digital, Fidelity Investments, VanEck, WisdomTree, etc) have announced their intention to offer Bitcoin ETF's. attempted to get the SEC to approve Bitcoin ETF's. As of now, the SEC has not approved any of these filings, but it will ultimately have to make a decision on the subject. Earlier SEC rejections were based upon problems with volatility, transparency, market surveillance and market and price manipulation. We expect a positive Bitcoin ETF to be approved by the SEC in 2021.</p><p>In addition to SEC regulation, we anticipate the Federal Reserve to explore the subject too. Chairman Jay Powell, in official Congressional testimony, has officially stated that the Fed is looking into the idea of a \"fully digital dollar\". This type of \"Fed coin\" would likely need Congressional and White House approval and it is very much in the early innings of its examination. Chairman Powell is still dealing with the ramifications of a global pandemic and a soft US economy, so a CBDC might not be his first or even second priority right now.</p><p><b>Risk #4: Security</b></p><p>As with any exchange, security and safety is paramount. We anticipate that COIN will be subject to thousands of cybersecurity attacks. Hackers, criminals and even foreign countries might find it worthwhile to breach COIN's platform. COIN's valuation is dependent upon it keeping its first-mover advantage and its reputation as a dominant cryptocurrency custodian. Security, for customers and partners, cannot be underestimated and COIN will have a very large target on its back.</p><p>Scale &amp; EBITDA Margins:</p><p>For us, we always like to model in operating or EBITDA margins, as well as free cash flow for our exchanges. In 2020, EBITDA margins for the largest exchanges were impressive. Here is a table of the dominant four exchanges and their EBITDA margins last year, as compared to COIN. Looking at the 2020 EBITDA margins of its publicly-traded exchange peers, provides interesting insights. Last year, CBOE posted 68% EBITDA margins and CME and ICE each posted margins in the 62% to 63% range. Despite trailing their competitors, Nasdaq had impressive EBITDA margins of 55%, that would be the envy of most companies. One key takeaway is that all of the exchanges are generating impressive margins with excellent leverage and scale opportunities.</p><p><b>Exchanges: CBOE CME ICE NDAQ vs COIN</b></p><p>2020 EBITDA Margins 68% 62% 63% 55% 41%</p><p>These exchanges have spent billions of dollars building out a scalable platform, that has enormous operating leverage. Each and every transaction that occurs is extremely high incremental margins. Most do not provide guidance on future or forward revenue, but they do have decent insight into expenses. The CME typically will provide forward expense guidance in the 2% to 5% range each year. Expenses don't dramatically increase each and every year, but do modestly rise.</p><p>How does COIN compare? Well, COIN is still constructing its exchange and heavily investing in its infrastructure. Last year, technology and development expenses were $271.7 million or 21% of COIN's total revenue. In 2019, this expense line item was 35% of revenue.</p><p>In 2020, COIN's expenses grew 50% year-over-year to $868.5 million. At this early stage of its lifecycle, we are pleasantly surprised to see that COIN is generating positive operating leverage (expense growth less than revenue growth).</p><p>As you can see in this Compass Point chart, over the last 8 quarters, COIN's Adjusted EBITDA margins have steadily improved. Are they peaking or at an all-time high? No, but the best part about COIN's current margin trajectory is where we see it going.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/44d11356cbdbc81549a9f5422e6e0e4f\" tg-width=\"567\" tg-height=\"426\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><i>* Source: This is a slide/chart from Compass</i></p><p>In its S-1, Brian Armstrong (COIN's CEO) stated a focus on operating profits, as it tries to manage its expense growth. He said, \"We may earn a profit when revenues are high, and we may lose money when revenues are low.\" He then went on to state that \"our goal is to roughly operate the company at break even, smoothed out over time.\"</p><p>This has proven to be true, when one considers that COIN generated $533 million in revenue in 2019, but lost $30m of profit that year. Then, in 2020, COIN produced $527 million of EBITDA on $1.2 billion of revenue. Clearly, the exchanges can generate very impressive profit margins, at scale.</p><p>The real benefit for the exchanges comes when volatility spikes and volumes soar. As this happens, assuming the exchanges properly manages this rising volatility, profitability climbs. As more and more volumes transact on a platform, free cash flow (and margins) is very attractive. Operating margins at its other publicly-traded exchanges have been high for years and do not fluctuate significantly from year-to-year. As revenues surprise to the upside, because volatility spikes, these exchanges typically reward their shareholders with buybacks and special dividends. As much more mature businesses, these exchanges tend to allow this leverage upside to fall to the bottom line. We anticipate that COIN will choose to re-invest any revenue upside towards marketing, growing its customer base, improving its platform, and building up its infrastructure.</p><p><b>Valuation:</b></p><p>In their 1st quarter 2021 release, management provided a low-to-mid-to-high range for a number of key metrics. In terms of MTU's, COIN management provided low guidance of 4.0 million and high guidance of 7.0 million. In 2019, the net revenue per MTU was $37 and it increased to $49 last year. Over the last 8 quarters, the net revenue per MTU range has grown from $26 in the 1 st quarter of 2019 up to $59 in the last quarter of 2020.</p><p>In our modeling and analysis, we will stick with management guidance, which ranges from $35 million to $45 million in net revenue per MTU. This implies revenue for the final three quarters of the year could be in the $3.48 billion on the low side and up to $4.64 billion on the high side. If we simply average these low and high ranges, 2021 revenue would be $4.1 billion. Considering COIN did $1.8 billion in revenue in the 1 st quarter alone, it is probably safe to assume that 2021 revenue will approach $4 billion this year. Our model is fairly detailed, but for this exercise, we will use a nice round $4.0 billion in 2021 revenue. Then, for 2022, we will assume 15% growth, to $4.6 billion. This does not seem like we are being aggressive. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised if COIN generates this level of revenue a full year earlier.</p><p>Without making an assumption on future volume growth, we need to estimate profit margins for COIN. Over the next decade, we would expect COIN to post EBITDA margins into the mid-50's%. Over the next one to two years, we would like COIN to annually increase margins by 200 basis points. This should be do-able, even with COIN making significant investments in their operational technology and platform.</p><p><b>Stock Trading vs Fundamentals:</b></p><p>It can be challenging to sometimes separate the volatility of a stock from its underlying fundamentals. For example, the primary exchange to trade interest rates is the CME. When it comes to trading Brent crude, most traders prefer ICE (although WTI is primarily traded on CME). While both of these exchanges trade hundreds of other products and assets, those two products (interest rates and Brent crude) tend to materially impact the exchange stock price.</p><p>When it comes to COIN, we anticipate the stock will trade very closely to the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum. If both digital currencies continue to rise, COIN's stock will be a solid success. If Bitcoin falls by (80%), like it did in 2019, COIN's stock will dramatically fall. In a world with massive Bitcoin volatility, COIN's underlying fundamentals should be good. In theory, COIN's stock should correlate and reflect the volatility of Bitcoin and Ethereum, not just their upward trajectory. However, we fully anticipate COIN's stock to trade in-line with the success or failure of Bitcoin.</p><p>Today's reality is that certain market participants are not long-term investors. Many unfortunately consider stocks as pieces of paper, as short-term trading instruments. If Bitcoin were to struggle and decline in value, that volatility and environment would be excellent for COIN. In fact, that might be a great time to \"dip one's toe\" into a position. However, the Reddit and Wall Street Bets community is more likely to consider short-term trading momentum than bottoms up, underlying fundamentals.</p><p>As we discussed earlier, COIN generated an impressive 2020 operating margin of 32%, compared to a (9%) in 2019. While some companies can post steady and smooth operating margins, COIN's will be much lumpier, at least until it is less Bitcoin becomes less volatile. Also, COIN has $188 million of cryptocurrencies on its balance sheet, comprised mainly of $130 million of Bitcoin and $24 million of Ether. There will be opportunities to purchase COIN, when short-term investors sell. This will likely occur as COIN ramps up its expenses or when Bitcoin falls.</p><p><b>Price Target:</b></p><p>Over the next month or so, we anticipate most sell-side analysts will publish targets on COIN. Unfortunately, most will use revenue multiples to determine their price targets. Manole Capital only owns companies that generate earnings and free cash flow, so we are loathe to utilize revenue multiples for price targets. We find that companies that use revenue multiples to justify a valuation are often incapable of generating important free cash flow. We are fine with companies investing in their future to ensure growth, but we cannot invest in companies that aren't concerned with free cash flow. For us, using the crutch of a revenue multiples isn't something we are comfortable doing.</p><p>Fortunately, for this analysis of COIN, the company generates plenty of profit and free cash flow. We conservatively model COIN's revenue next year at $4.6 billion. Also, we believe it can add a point or two to EBITDA margins, into the mid-40% range. That would be 2021 EBITDA of $2.1 billion or $11.89 per share. We don't want to sound like a \"wise old sage\", but in the \"olden days\", investors could utilize reasonable EV (enterprise value) to EBITDA multiples in the 10x to 15x range. Maybe, if a company was experiencing fantastic growth and was getting acquired, you might see an EBITDA multiple approach 20x. Nasdaq, ICE and CBOE all have trailing EV to EBITDA multiples in the mid-to-high teens. In order to be remotely close to where COIN will trade this week, we would have to use a MarketAxess (MKTX) or Tradeweb (TW) lofty TTM EV to EBITDA multiples of roughly 45x. We just don't believe EV to EBITDA is the proper valuation metric to currently use. Should we use another cryptocurrency company like Silvergate (SI) and estimate a valuation using their EV to EBITDA multiple? At 108x trailing EBITDA, that would be a waste of time.</p><p>To arrive at a realistic COIN price target, let's just model earnings and use a premium forward P/E multiple. If we apply a tax rate of 25% (not assuming any tax loss carryovers), we can estimate an EPS in 2021 of $8.50.</p><p>Using that $8.50 per share in EPS, we then want to apply an exchange-like multiple, adding in a premium for COIN due to its exceptional growth. The average publicly-traded exchange trades at a forward P/E multiple of 20x. The table below provides some different targets, based upon the premium P/E one believes COIN deserves.</p><p><b>Forward P/E Multiple 25x 30x 40x 45x 50x</b></p><p>Premium to Peers 20% 50% 100%</p><p>COIN Target $213 $255 $340 $381 $426</p><p>On Wednesday, initial projections are looking for COIN to trade towards $65 billion, which implies $350 per share. We fully anticipate COIN rocketing past $400 and potentially closing the day in the $500 per share range. This would imply a market capitalization of COIN of $93 billion, which is approaching the $100 billion level that have been rumored to have occurred on some private exchanges.</p><p><b>Conclusion:</b></p><p>We expect COIN's direct listing on April 14th to be \"hot\".</p><p>In a typical IPO, companies raise capital and provide exclusive, early access to large institutions. With wire houses placing shares into large institutions and asset managers first, retail investors often get shut out. Retail platforms like Schwab, Ameritrade, Robinhood, Fidelity typically cannot access IPOs for their customers.</p><p>Since COIN has over $1 billion of cash on its balance sheet and does not need capital, it has decided to do a direct listing. The advantage of a direct listing is that it will enable retail investors to purchase COIN at the same time as larger institutions. Once COIN begins to trade freely on the Nasdaq exchange, both retail and institutional traders can participate. With 186 million shares outstanding, the market will ultimately determine what share price COIN trades at. We expect a flood of market orders, creating an interesting first day of trading.</p><p>Is the lofty valuation we just laid out fair? Probably not, but that's what the market will determine. Is this a realistic scenario? Are our forecasts too conservative? Should you be an aggressive buyer? We think our estimates are fair, but COIN will likely immediately trade towards an aggressive multiple.</p><p>If you don't want to pay that kind of forward multiple for COIN, there are other alternative. Maybe you should consider an investment in some of the other (and less expensive) exchanges, like Nasdaq or CBOE? These companies do not have the same growth prospects as COIN, but they do come with a much smaller price tag.</p><p>We believe that COIN is a safe, trusted and easy-to-use platform for trading digital currencies. Some investors believe that they have \"missed out\" on the meteoric rise of Bitcoin, so they might chase a position in COIN. Others will look at COIN as a long-term opportunity to own the dominant digital currency exchange.</p><p>In our opinion, owners should be willing to pay a premium for COIN shares, but they should also be prepared for significant volatility and competition. Only you know your specific risk/reward tolerances. Only time will tell the answers to some of these questions, but we'll get a good idea on Wednesday, once COIN trading begins.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Thinking About Buying Coinbase? - Here's Your Note</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\">\nThinking About Buying Coinbase? - Here's Your Note\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-14 23:14 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4419039-thinking-of-buying-coinbase><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Wednesday,Coinbase shares open at $381 on Nasdaq, valuing cryptocurrency exchange at $99.6 billion.SummaryCoinbase is going public today.Instead of reading their +300 page S-1, read our 19 page note....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4419039-thinking-of-buying-coinbase\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"COIN":"Coinbase Global, Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4419039-thinking-of-buying-coinbase","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1145468327","content_text":"Wednesday,Coinbase shares open at $381 on Nasdaq, valuing cryptocurrency exchange at $99.6 billion.SummaryCoinbase is going public today.Instead of reading their +300 page S-1, read our 19 page note.We discuss: digital currencies, store of value, medium of exchange.Plus, a deep dive into COIN's model, storage, trading, price target.Manole Capital Management - Bitcoin & Coinbase (COIN) - April 2021What is FINTECH?Manole Capital Management exclusively focuses on the emerging FINTECH sector. For some investors, FINTECH means We define FINTECH as \"anything utilizing technology to improve an established process.\"* Source: This is a Business Insider slide on the FINTECH EcosystemFor us, the quintessential FINTECH business is the payment industry. As you can see in this FINTECH ecosystem Business Insider slide, we bolded thePayments and Remittancesspace, as that is our preferred area to invest. Others can invest in FINTECH's through Alternative Finance companies or digital banks or Insurtechs, but for us, we love the payment sector. We are attracted to the predictable, sustainable and recurring revenues of their businesses, where they essentially earn revenue per swipe economics.When most investors discuss FINTECH, they rarely (if ever) discuss the exchanges. Similar to these payment and transaction-based models, many of the exchanges also earn revenue, free cash flow and profits per transaction or trade. When it comes to trading certain assets (interest rates, equities, commodities, foreign currency, etc), there tends to be high barriers to entry or an impregnable moat around certain franchises. While many of these businesses are not recession proof, they have proven to be recession resistant.Financials:While Financials only represent 11.3% of the S&P 500 (as of March 2021), roughly 3/4rd's of this sector's weight is comprised of traditional financial institutions, like banks and insurance companies. These businesses are typically credit sensitive, with opaque and complex balance sheets. To simplify the banking model, the underlying asset is the US dollar and they simply look to borrow that capital at a low fee and lend it out to borrowers at a higher rate. This spread business can generate excellent returns, but it comes with a risk. Is the bank following a solid and time-tested risk model? Are borrowers credit worthy?If an investor has exposure to the Financial sector, one should have a strong opinion on the 10-year yield. The 10-year stands at 1.7% and has significantly risen over the last several months. The Financial sector has a 5-year rolling correlation with the 10-year Treasury of 67% (per Scotiabank and Bloomberg research). We simply choose to not invest in banks and business models that don't have ourideal characteristics (click here).As we stated above, we are attracted to businesses that generate steady and recurring and free cash flow. Unfortunately, most Financials are not transaction based business models.Our Goal:This note will review digital currencies, Bitcoin and the opportunity in the exchange space. We will use our over two decades of experience following and owning exchanges to draw some parallels for this new asset class. For example, there are \"big picture\" matters concerning storage, access, theft, usage, documentation, identity, rights and dozens of other issues. Blockchain and technology advancements theoretically solve some of these problems, but unfortunately not all.Some digital currency or technology experts might find this analysis rudimentary. Others are new to this asset class and want a primer on the industry. That's our primary goal or target, is to provide an initial 30,000 foot view on digital currencies and then dive into the details of the largest (and soon to be public) exchange.As always, we strive to present our work in a very readable format. If they had the patience to read our research, we attempt to write our notes so our 80-year father or 14-year old son could easily understand. We will try our best to review the requirements to be considered a currency, volatility, pricing, digital wallets, NFT's (non-fungible tokens), stable coins and some other digital currency issues. After that, we will do a fairly deep dive into Coinbase (ticker COIN). You can read their nearly 300-page S-1 filing with theSEC (click here)or you can let us serve as your \"Cliff Notes\" version. We will discuss their business model, how they generate revenue, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as provide a framework for valuation and a price target. We hope you find this latest research from Manole Capital topical and interesting.Digital Currencies:In our 1st quarter 2021 investor newsletter, which we published on Seeking Alpha, we discussed COIN's business and its opportunity. We wrote a couple pages on the subject, but felt it deserved a much larger and dedicated piece of research.Before we dive into Coinbase, we wanted to provide our thoughts on Bitcoin and digital currencies. As we stated in the opening paragraph, Manole Capital believes the payments industry is the dominant FINTECH sector. Over the last 5 years, we have done a significant amount of work on digital currencies, trying to understand their best usage, functionality and role in the future of payments. Are digital currencies a threat to the payment networks, processors and merchant acquirers? In order to answer these questions, one has to understand how a typical payment transaction occurs. Who processes, clears and settles a card transaction?We have written dozens of articles on this subject, which can easily be viewed here. In our opinion, there are two main requirements for something to be considered a viable currency. One is that it must be a \"store of value\" and the second is that it must be a \"medium of exchange\".The Requirements To Be A Currency:In order to be a viable currency, two specific requirements are needed. One is that the currency should be a\"store of value\".This is often defined as any asset that can smoothly maintain its economic value, rather than rapidly depreciating. The other requirement is that the currency should be a\"medium of exchange\" or an instrument used to facilitate the sale, purchase or trade of goods between parties.In terms of speed and efficiency, there is no comparison when comparing the centralized payment system to Bitcoin's decentralized platform. Visa processes 1,700 transactions per second and it claims to have 40x the spare capacity, to handle 65,000 transactions per second. PayPal (PYPL) stated that during the 2020 holiday shopping season, it processed over 1,000 transactions per second. Using Bitcoin and its blockchain for global purchases and payments can process roughly 7 transactions per second.As technology improves, one could argue Bitcoin processing will improve. However, if Bitcoin were to get used for payments, the conversion of crypto holdings into US dollars will dramatically increase overall network transactions. We are big believers in the concept of...\"if it ain't broke, don't fix it!\"There are significant acceptance advantages to the existing payment ecosystem. Visa and Mastercard are accepted in over 200 countries and at over 40 million global merchants. Their payment acceptance brands stand for trust and allows billions of purchase transactions to occur each year. The Visa and Mastercard logos are known around the world, permitting the exchange of goods and services in seconds. While Bitcoin is slowly becoming more recognizable, it simply does not have the same acceptance. We believe the existing payment ecosystem handles the \"medium of exchange\" process well. The overall payment landscape is a well-oiled machine, that involves three to four parties, approving transactions in in roughly 1 to 2 seconds.We have discussed the long-term opportunity for a FINTECH company or two to create a \"Super App Holy Grail\". This would be allowing customers to transact with their mobile phone, in whatever currency they wish, at all global merchants. Getting consumers to get rid of their leather wallets is easier said than done. Even though we consider ourselves to be fairly technologically savvy, we still have a wallet that looks a lot like Seinfeld's George Costanza's.Several companies have recently announced their intentions to help spur Bitcoin acceptance. On March 30th, 2021, PYPL announced the launch of its \"Checkout with Crypto\" option. Participating merchants (initially ½ of PYPL's 29 million) can offer their customers the ability to pay for purchases using Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum or Bitcoin Cash. How will this work? Once a PYPL customer purchases or stores crypto holdings in their PYPL digital wallet, he/she will be permitted to use those funds at checkout. When a transaction occurs, PYPL users will see the option to apply their balance to complete a purchase. When customers choose this payment option, PYPL will exchange their crypto for US dollars through its clearinghouse partner, Paxos. The transaction will occur based upon a spot market rate, with a 50 basis point spread built in. PYPL will then remit payment (in US dollars) to the merchant, to satisfy the exchange of goods or services.While this sounds easy, there are significant hurdles. Certain details are still emerging, but customers using this service must buy their crypto within their PYPL digital wallet. This will satisfy PYPL's adherence to Know Your Customer (KYC) guidelines, but it doesn't solve all potential hiccups. The four cryptocurrencies PYPL said customers can use, are likely to cause problems. The SEC and IRS have not deemed these to be currencies, but instead, consider them capital assets. If they were to be used for payment, the underlying client will potentially have capital gain taxes, if their PYPL digital wallet has paper gains. If you are making a $20 purchase at Walgreen's, we don't believe customers are wanting to consider the tax ramifications of using their Bitcoin balance in their digital wallet. That potential $20 purchase could potentially cost you a tax liability of 100%.Even if we ignore the large tax issues, there are additional worries. So, if the cryptocurrency in your digital wallet is going to be used to fund purchases, who is going to pay for it? Merchants will have to pay for the cost of converting cryptocurrencies into US dollars, whatever that cost might be. There will be the traditional merchant discount rates applied, but this will ultimately be another cost for merchants to bear. Besides a company like Tesla, that has a dynamic CEO, do you envision merchant's dying to accept additional costs to help their customers transact? Especially when cards are so ubiquitous?So,Teslahas decided it will accept Bitcoin as a form of payment. What does this really mean? If a consumer has a sizeable gain in Bitcoin and wishes to use it to purchase a \"free\" Tesla, there are serious tax consequences. Just like selling an appreciated stock, where a consumer has to pay capital gains taxes, Bitcoin would be under the same burden. Until the IRS classifies Bitcoin as a currency, and not property, this tax problem will remain.The second problem comes if the Tesla buyer decides to return his/her new vehicle. Tesla reserves the right to pay the consumer back in cash, worth the original purchase price, not in Bitcoin. If Bitcoin jumps in value since the original transaction date, the consumer would be negatively impacted. If Bitcoin falls in price, Tesla could return a depreciated Bitcoin to the car buyer. Are there hundreds of thousands of consumers yearning to purchase a Tesla with Bitcoin? We doubt there's too many, especially if they are aware of the tax issues.Last week, Visa announced it would use various FINTECH API's (application programming interface) offered by cryptocurrency custodian and privately-held Anchorage. Visa plans to settle transactions using US dollar stablecoin, powered by the Ethereum blockchain. Once again, this is exciting news, but will likely encounter problems and take a while to come to fruition.Before one uses Bitcoin to transact at the POS (point of sale), be actually believe it can become an excellent opportunity for money transfer. Western Union is about to turn 170 years old and can be considered the original FINTECH company. However, moving paper currency around the world is not terribly technologically advanced. Visa has launched an expanded version of itsDirectplatform, which will allow for cross border disbursements. Visa's platform supports real-time domestic and cross-border person-to-person, business-to-small business and business-to-consumer use cases, so the options are endless. Bill Sheley is the global head of Visa Direct, and he stated, \"Visa is innovating to give financial institutions, governments, individuals and businesses new ways to pay and get paid beyond the card.\"On the \"store of value\" front, the total addressable market for assets is enormous. For example, art and collectibles are a $20 trillion market, gold is $10 trillion, real estate is $200 trillion, bonds are $100 trillion and equities are another $30 trillion.50% of gold is used in jewelry and another 1/3 is used in electronics. While gold used to back fiat currencies, Britain dropped the gold standard in 1931. The US followed suit in 1933 and totally abandoned the gold standard in 1973. There are additional issues to consider like fixed or variable supply, as well as volatility concerns.We agree that digital currencies are becoming a feasible \"store of value\". In our opinion, digital currencies have significant challenges to becoming a \"medium of exchange\". With that caveat, the opportunity for the crypto-economy and digital currencies to thrive is still open ended and vast.Inflation:The world is always looking for additional asset classes and stores of value, especially as governments keep the currency printing presses running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.Last year, the Federal Reserve printed an unprecedented amount of dollars, roughly 1/5 th of all US dollars ever printed. On a daily basis, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing produces over $500 million over 38 million notes.If you are the United States and the dollar is considered the dominant global currency, your perception of Bitcoin (or any digital assets) should be of concern. The ability of countries to simply print money should inherently be inflationary, yet Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell continues to seek to get the US at and above 2% annually.A couple of weeks ago, the Biden administration announced an infrastructure bill, called the American Jobs Plan, with a $2 trillion spending target. In March of 2021, US government passed a $1.9 trillion stimulus package. This followed a December of 2020 stimulus package of $900 billion, as well as a CARES Act in March 2020 bill of $2.2 trillion. We are not making a statement about the merits of any of these packages and stimulus programs. We simply are trying to point out the massive amount of money that is getting printed.Many cryptocurrency bulls will cite inflationary worries with fiat currencies for why their digital cryptocurrencies assets are undervalued. We understand this argument, but always come back to an initial framework. If you are the US or the European Union or Chinese government, would you be able to control your society if there wasn't a viable currency in place? Would economies function without government control of its fiat currency? If cryptocurrencies become widely accepted and are considered a better version of payment, would governments be able to function? If the US couldn't issue additional debt to fund its spending initiatives, would it even exist? We just don't believe government regulators will allow certain cryptocurrencies to thrive, especially if it threatens their sovereign currencies.We tend to look at this as a simple supply and demand equation. While Bitcoin has currently issued 18.7 million tokens, there is only a maximum of 21 million that can be created. That fixed supply is counter to some governments. For example, there are countries that have taken the printing of fiat currency too far. Zimbabwe is but one example of runaway inflation. Here's a picture of one of their 100 trillion bills. Yes, that's a 100 trillion. Do you want to be a trillionaire? Simply buy one on eBay for $8.99,by clicking here.Source: This is a picture of Zimbabere's currency, that I took on myiPhoneAs this Piper Sandler chart shows, Bitcoin now has a market capitalization of roughly $1 trillion. If we look at the top 10 digital assets by market capitalization, the vast majority of market share falls to just 2 currencies.* Source: This is a Piper Sandler slide/chartIt is estimated that Bitcoin is over 55% of all cryptocurrency market capitalization and Ethereum is roughly 11%. Cryptocurrencies like Tether, Binance Coin, Stellar, Cardano, Litecoin have a modest following and just 1% to 2% market share (all under $50 million in market cap).Digital currencies should be considered assets, as they can be represented digitally, dynamically transmitted, and stored safely in the cloud. However, digital assets and cryptocurrencies have a long way to go to become used in our globally interconnected economies.Rules & Regulations:In a perfect world, we think all assets should trade 365 days a year and 24 hours a day. In this hypothetical environment, assets should immediately process and settle and fees to transact should be modest. Why does the NYSE only officially operate from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm EST Monday through Friday (and not on holidays)? There are trades that occur pre-market and post-market hours, but liquidity and volumes are sparse. The simple answer is that this is the way it has always occurred and why should we change something that isn't broken.The traditional exchanges have always had a set period of time where they are \"open for business\", but this is changing. For example, the technology backbone of the CME Group (ticker CME) is called Globex. It essentially permits 24/7 trading to occur on its electronic platform for equities, interest rates, commodities, foreign exchange and other assets. After years of investing in international growth, roughly 1/5 th of all volumes come from outside of the US.In order to have access to Globex, there are rules one needs to adhere to, as exchanges are heavily regulated entities. Just like banks need to conduct AML (anti-money laundering) and KYC (know your customer) due diligence on its customer base, the exchanges need to follow strict guidelines enforced by their regulators.As of today, we believe there are over 50 distinct blockchain protocols which support more than 7,500 various digital assets. Unfortunately, the financial systems are not known as entities that are quick to adopt change and technology. The world has embraced the internet, as a revolutionary and transformational platform. However, financial systems are not comfortable seamlessly exchanging data, information and assets. There are numerous activities like cross border payments or peer-to-peer payments that are ideally suited for technological advancements, but rules and regulations exist to stymie growth.The goal of an open and transparent financial system is honorable, but not terribly realistic. In terms of managing one's assets, especially money, the process can be cumbersome.Volatility:If we accept cryptocurrency as a digital asset, we then want to better understand how value is determined, where it can be stored and how best to process and handle its exchange. With decentralized assets, the network allows participants to transact without intermediaries. Who sets the value and determines price?The most notable cryptocurrency is Bitcoin and it has a CAGR of over 150%, from 2013 to 2020. In 2017, it rose 1,318%, but then fell by (72.6%) in 2018. In 2020, it rose over 302% and it currently is up well over 50% this year. Since January of 2017, there have been 5 corrections of 50% of more in Bitcoin, so it can be wildly volatile.We are slowly getting comfortable with digital assets and cryptocurrencies as a \"store of value\" and believe they will become a viable asset in one's diversified portfolio. Each individual or entity needs to determine their own risk and reward framework, so cryptocurrency might be 10 basis points or 10% of one's portfolio.Opinions on Bitcoin are changing every day. Back in 2018, the CEO of Blackrock (Larry Fink) called Bitcoin a currency \"for money launderers.\" A year earlier, JP Morgan CEO, Jaime Dimon called Bitcoin a \"fraud\" and threated to fire any bank employee who dealt with the currency. Fast forward to today: Blackrock (in January 2021) enabled two of its mutual funds to purchase Bitcoin, and a JP Morgan analyst recently published that he thinks Bitcoin could rise to $146,000.Recently, large institutional interest has boosted the price of certain digital assets. High profile investors like John Tudor Jones (May 2020) and Stanley Druckenmiller have made sizeable purchases of various digital currencies. Other companies like Microstrategy (August 2020) and Tesla (Feb 2021) have made sizeable transactions for their firm's balance sheet.Stable Coins:A stable coin is simply a digital asset that is attempts to lower volatility by pegging itself to an actual fiat currency or physical asset (ex: gold). For example, Tether has a market capitalization of over $40 billion, is backed by US dollars and it's the largest cryptocurrency stable coin. One of the risks associated with stable coins is ensuring that the proper amount of fiat currency is held in reserve to match the amount of stable coins in circulation.In prior official commentary, the Governor of the Central Bank of Russia - Elvira Nabiullina - stated that Russa was against any form of private currency, as it threatened financial sovereignty. Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs also was considering seizing all digital currencies and claiming cryptocurrencies criminal activity. Now, in January 2021, the Bank of Russia began to test a ruble-based stable coin. While starting cautiously, the Russian Central Bank is exploring the possibility of issuing its own digital currency. There are numerous countries that are investigating the process of issuing CBDC's or Central Bank Digital Currencies. China has studied the process of issuing a digital yuan, the European Central Bank is looking into a digital Euro.Other governments and regulators have highlighted the risks of digital currencies. The UK's Financial Conduct Authority called crypto assets \"high risk, speculative investments\" where investors \"should be prepared to lose all their money.\" US Treasury Secretary (and former Federal Reserve Chairwoman) Janet Yellen has warned on investing in digital currencies too. Just a week ago, India's Reserve Bank took a fairly bearish tone on digital currencies. Rumors are that India is looking to pass a law outlawing cryptocurrencies and making anyone trading or holding them punishable with sizeable fines. India's Finance minister is Nirmala Sitharaman and she said India's Cabinet will shortly issue a final ruling on the matter and that the governments ruling is \"under preparation and nearing completion\".Will additional countries look to make cryptocurrencies illegal? These type of comments act as a governor to adoption and change. Politicians and governments are worried about losing control of their economies. Statements like this are further evidence that governments will remain a headwind. We aren't going to put this in the realm of a new \"space race\", but the country that embraces this technology first might have an early advantage versus those that are afraid of change.Digital Currency Conclusion:This quick digital currency discussion was created to set the framework for an analysis of Coinbase (ticker COIN). Will digital currencies replace traditional payment systems? We do not believe it will, but continued adoption and traction in digital currencies is noticeable.Is Bitcoin poised to climb higher, or will it crash? We simply don't know. What we do know is that we prefer to own the medium where these \"assets\" trade. We would compare this to the Gold Rush of the mid-1800's. Back in 1849, owning Levi Strauss made a fortune selling picks, pans and shovels to '49ers looking for gold. Back then, some would say, \"There's gold in those mountains.\"Nowadays, there's a huge opportunity in the collection of data and information. We truly have no idea what the price of Bitcoin will do, except we know that it will be very volatile. As we know, volatility leads to trading, which should equate to profits for the exchanges. Speaking of exchanges, let's now discuss another exchange and upcoming FINTECH direct listing - COIN.Introduction to Coinbase (ticker COIN):The stated goal of COIN is \"to create an open financial system for the world.\" While this is altruistic, it seems to be fairly broad based goal. It is noble to strive to create a financial system that is transparent for all mankind. It might be more prudent to strive to provide an end-to-end infrastructure and technology platform for all types of cryptocurrencies.From our perspective, it might be judicious for COIN to focus its attention on providing value adding services for all types of digital currencies. If COIN becomes the dominant exchange where anyone can easily and securely send and receive Bitcoin, it will thrive. If COIN can create an efficient and accessible marketplace for the emerging digital assets community, it can be a massive success. There are hundreds of platforms that want to democratize access to the crypto-economy, but COIN (as the oldest and most recognizable brand) seems to have an early lead in this race.Coinbase:COIN was started in 2012 and it has built a trusted platform for accessing various crypto currencies. Using blockchain technology, COIN has simplified the user experience and reduced the complexity of purchasing, selling and holding digital currencies. In its early days, COIN was primarily just used for sending and receiving cryptocurrencies. Then, it became a trusted platform for those seeking to invest in various currencies. We liken this period as COIN's realization that it needed to become an \"exchange\" or intermediary between buyers and sellers. It has since launched cryptocurrency payments, distribution capabilities, storage, borrowing and lending services.As this chart from COIN shows, there are over 45 different cryptocurrencies investors can purchase and another 90 that can be stored at COIN.* Source: This is a slide/chart from COIN's S-1However, two primary digital currencies dominate COIN's total trading volumes. In 2020, Bitcoin represented 41% of COIN's trading volumes and 15% came from Ethereum. While this 56% is a decline from 2019 levels (72% of the total mix), we envision both will remain the primary digital currencies traded on COIN.Revenue:Over the last several years, COIN has materially grown its revenue. In 2019, revenue $533 million and it impressively grew to $1.3 billion last year. As we show in our pie chart, in 2020, COIN's $1.28 billion of revenue grew 130% year-over-year and was a mix of 86% Transactional, 3% Subscription & Services and 11% \"Other\".On April 6th, COIN reported 1st quarter 2021 results and the metrics were eye popping. Last quarter, COIN generated $1.8 billion in revenue, which exceeded the prior two years combined.In 2020, 86% of COIN's total revenue wasTransactionalin nature. This means revenue was derived from sending, receiving, investing and spending cryptocurrencies. When it comes to Transactional revenue, we like to look at the fee as a percentage of total volume traded.COIN provided this diagram and it shows exactly what products are inside of each of its revenue classifications. The remaining 15% of total revenue came fromSubscription & Services,which COIN classifies as paying, distributing, storage, and from borrowing and lending cryptocurrencies.* Source: This is a slide/chart from COIN's S-1Storing earns custodial fee revenue, which we will dissect in a couple of pages. Staking revenue comes from validation on a proof-of-stake blockchain transaction. License revenue is generated from users of its Analytics services. Lastly, COIN can earn campaign revenue or distribution fees when its constructs educational materials for issuers. For cryptocurrency issuers, COIN earns revenue for helping the platform engage with its users, in the form of educational videos or tasks, when cryptocurrencies are attempting to widen their distribution, marketing and acceptance. While these ancillary services are nice, the real opportunity is trading.Customer Type:In its S-1 regulatory filing, COIN showed its product portfolio, separated from retail users, institutions and other ecosystem partners. One has to understand that different clients are paying different rates. Over the last 8 quarters, this revenue rate has averaged 0.61%, with a high of 0.80% in the 1st quarter of 2019 and a low of 0.50% in the 4th quarter of 2020.Looking at the last 8 quarters, we can clearly see that both retail and institutional trading volumes have exploded higher. It is interesting to see that Retail was bigger at $45 billion in the 1 st quarter of 2018 than it was at the end of last year at $32 billion. Also, one can see that Institutional trading volumes have gone from $11 billion in the 1 st quarter of 2018 and now are over $57 billion.* Source: This is a slide/chart from COIN's S-1COIN has different fees depending on whether or not the client is retail or institutional, as well as whether or not the client uses Coinbase or Coinbase Pro, which we will discuss this later on, in our pricing section.Trading volumes:In terms of exchanges, it all comes down to volumes. Crypto exchange volumes have soared, because of strong interest from both retail and institutional clients. This type of growth will not continue, but volatility tends to drive overall volumes.Looking at this Compass table, one can clearly see that volumes noticeably increased in 2018, following the rise of Bitcoin in December of 2017. What happened in late 2017 that helped drive future trading volumes? Well, CBOE and CME both launched Bitcoin future contracts that month.* Source: This is a slide/chart from CompassSo far in 2021, COIN has experienced 298% growth in ADV (average daily volumes). What did Bitcoin increase last year? Just over 300%. There's clearly a very high correlation between Bitcoin's recent price and COIN's future ADV.One of our favorites aspects of investing in the exchanges is the ability to simply model the businesses in Excel. The large, publicly-traded exchanges provide wonderful transparency for investors, by posting daily volumes. We liken this to Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley providing real-time insights into their prop desk trading results. You shouldn't hold your breath for that level of transparency, right?Bitcoin, Bitcoin and Bitcoin:In the real estate business, the common phrase is that the 3 most important items are \"location, location and location.\" For digital currency exchanges, we believe the 3 most important products are \"Bitcoin, Bitcoin and more Bitcoin.\"On COIN's platform, the volumes tend to be concentrated in a few different currencies. In 2019, BTC or Bitcoin was 58% of COIN's trading volumes, but that fell to 41% in 2020. ETH or Ethereum was 14% in 2019 and that grew slightly last year to 15% of COIN's total. The biggest category jump came from \"other\", which was 18% in 2019 and grew to 44% last year.Having multiple products to transact in is obviously key, but COIN is cryptocurrency dependent. Yes, tokens like Dogecoin might come in and out of favor, but COIN is dependent upon higher Bitcoin and Ethereum prices.A great aspect to owning CME is their transparency. Not only does CME provide daily ADV, but they provide details on open interest. We like to follow open interest, as it is a leading indicator of future volumes. Also, CME provides details on large open interest holders (called LOIH's) or those owners of a minimum of $7.5 million of Bitcoin futures. Over the last couple of months, CME has hit all-time highs in volumes in Bitcoin futures trading. This year, Bitcoin futures contracts on the CME have averaged 13,800 contracts per day, up 42% year-over-year.Like CME, COIN has invested heavily in its technology to give its customers access to a deep pool of cryptocurrency liquidity. Like we just described, this liquidity can act as a virtuous cycle. Volumes beget more volumes and leading more customers onto the platform.Pricing:We focus on the trading volume of an exchange, but also try to model how revenues are generated from this volume. Each trade does not generate the same level of revenue, as different traders tend to pay different prices.In derivative exchange land, we often look at commission prices as RPC or rate per contract. For example, CME charges $0.478 a contract to trade interest rates, $0.545 to trade equities, $0.764 to trade foreign currency, $1.397 to trade metals, $1.336 to trade agricultural commodities and $1.124 to trade energy. Within each product, prices can vary. For example, WTI crude is a different trading price versus natural gas contracts. While CME is trying to get more retail customers into trading futures and options, the vast majority of its volumes are from institutions.At COIN, there are different fees for different clients. COIN has two main fee structures, one called Coinbase Pro and the other called Coinbase Prime. Here's a quick look at the pricing tiers, as discussed in the S-1 filing, based upon whether or not a client is taking or providing liquidity (called taker fee and maker fee).* Source: This is a slide/chart from CompassTransaction revenue, as a percentage of total volumes traded, has averaged 0.61% over the last 8 quarters. Over these 2 years, retail client transactional revenue has increased from 1.27% up to 1.47%. For institutional clients, revenues as a percentage of volumes traded has fallen from 0.07% down to 0.05%. Clearly, retail customers pay significantly more than institutional clients to trade.Also, unlike transacting in a stock, COIN calls its transaction based revenue \"staking\" revenue. This is earned from transaction validation on a proof-of-stake blockchain, when COIN's nodes successfully creates or validates a certain block. This revenue is recognized when the rewards are available for transfer and at the point when the block creator or validation is complete. The metrics that determine the staking revenue are driven by quantity, price and rewards rate.Customers:The strengths of COIN's platform seem to be its vast and extensive network of contacts. COIN is leveraging its trusted brand to attract those that want access to transact or store cryptocurrencies.COIN's growth strategy is based upon driving more customers onto its platform and becoming the de-facto platform for cryptocurrency. Just like the online brokers did in the 1990's, the key to growth was adding new accounts and clients to the platform.In this COIN chart, one can see the exceptional growth in verified users or those that have \"demonstrated an interest\" in COIN's platform. In addition to these users, there are another 7,000 institutional customers, across roughly 100 countries.* Source: This is a slide/chart from COIN's S-1These verified users have registered for an account and confirmed either their email address or a phone number. In our model, we are not terribly interested in tracking verified users as a key metric. While it is nice to know who interested in cryptocurrencies, it is much more important to understand who is willing to transact.As you can see in this Compass Point chart, COIN has 2.8 million MTU or monthly transacting users. In order to be considered a customer needs to have logged in and transacted one time, over a 28-day rolling period.* Source: This is a slide/chart from CompassIt is interesting to see that there were 2.7 million MTU's in the 1 st quarter of 2018 and 2.8 million MTU's at the end of last year. Over those 2 years, MTU's dramatically declined and then lifted. As of today, COIN has roughly 3 million MTUs, which was up +180% year-over-year, but we like to think of it as only 7% of its verified total accounts.This reminds us of the online brokerage business, back in the 1990's and 2000's. For years, the primary goal of marketing executives at the online brokers was to generate more and more accounts. The theory was that with new accounts, clients would eventually look to consolidate their relationships with one or possibly two firms. Once an account was opened, the goal was to increase wallet share from that satisfied customer.For online brokerages, driving customers typically comes from TV advertising. One cannot watch CNBC or Bloomberg or Fox Business without seeing advertisements for Schwab, TD Ameritrade, E*Trade, Fidelity or Interactive Brokers. Robinhood was very successful in opening up investment accounts for the emerging Gen-Z demographic, but its well-publicized issues in late January (regarding prohibiting \"meme stocks\" purchases) might impact its torrid account growth.How does COIN plan on increasing its exposure and customer base? Our guess is that it will look to increase its marketing spend. The ROI or return on investment of TV marketing is somewhat opaque. We anticipate COIN learning from its foray into marketing and advertising, with some successes, as well as some failures.The best avenue to increase accounts and customers is to offer a product that cannot be easily replicated. COIN can continue its account growth by launching new and innovative products, as well as offering access to new cryptocurrencies.While BTC or Bitcoin is the dominant cryptocurrency today, maybe there will be a new and exciting cryptocurrency in vogue tomorrow. Over the last few months, Dogecoin has garnered significant attention and media coverage. While we shake our head and do not understand the fascination with this cryptocurrency, the goal for COIN is to attract and become the go to platform for those that wish to transact. COIN needs to expand its support of all digitally native cryptocurrencies and help to tokenize new assets.Storage:While the vast majority of COIN's revenue is trading based, COIN does earns subscription and service revenue when customers choose to safely store their cryptocurrencies on its platform.COIN is one of the most trusted exchanges in the crypto space and operate as a \"qualified custodian\". This means that they have a separate company, called Coinbase Custody, which operates as a standalone, independently-capitalized business. Under New York State Banking Law, Coinbase Custody is considered a fiduciary. All digital assets are segregated and held in a trust. COIN has never suffered a hack that led to loss of funds and cannot afford to ever have that breached.As you can see in this COIN asset chart shows, there has been excellent growth on the platform. At the end of 2020, COIN had $90.3 billion in assets on its platform, which was up +432% year-over-year.* Source: This is a slide/chart from COIN's S-1Of these assets, 70% was from Bitcoin and another 13% were Ethereum. Clearly, those two currencies represent the bulk of COIN's platform assets.Wallets:The leather wallet in your pocket holds a combination of cash and credit/debit cards. However, cryptocurrencies and tokens need to be kept in a crypto wallet. \"Hot wallets\" are connected to the internet and are considered much less secure, while \"cold wallets\" are kept offline. Most cryptocurrency custodians employ \"cold\" storage to safely hold a client's digital assets.Acting as a cold cryptocurrency custodian (say that 3x fast), COIN derives fee revenue based on a percentage of the daily value of customer accounts. The assets under custody are a function of quantity, price and type of cryptocurrency asset.Custody:In addition to hot versus cold wallets, there are two primary ways to store your Bitcoin. The first is called self-custody. This is when an individual or entity has complete control of their Bitcoin. This entails maintaining and controlling your own private key. When it comes to Bitcoin storage, there is a popular self-custody mantra that says, \"not your keys, not your coins\". This implies that if you do not control the private key for your Bitcoin, it is not truly your Bitcoin.The second way to store your Bitcoin is to outsource it to a trusted custodian, like Kraken, Coinbase, Anchorage or others. In this case, the custodian stores your Bitcoin for you and they have control over its private key. Kraken is security focused and has an time-tested private key management practice. In its 10-years of existence, it has never been hacked.Whether one decides to self-custody or use an outsourced custody provider for storing your Bitcoin, two critical issues must be discussed. The first is trust. Do you trust the custodial firm that holds your Bitcoin? If one self-custodies, they bear the risk of lost private keys, break-ins or natural disasters. On the other hand, self-custody ensures you control your own Bitcoin. The obvious downside of self-custody is that one can lose all of your Bitcoin, if it is not stored properly.Do you trust the bank that holds your checking account or brokerage firm that holds your stocks? US financial institutions are some of the most highly regulated companies in the world and most have proven themselves to be good custodians of our assets. Maybe we can exclude Lehman Brothers and AIG from that statement, but it is fair statement for the other 10,000+ financial institutions in the US.Does trusting a firm called Kraken, with millions of dollars' worth of Bitcoin, sound like a sound idea? Some might prefer to custody with a firm like Bank of New York, which announced in March of 2021, that it intends to enter the Bitcoin custody business. However, does Bank of New York have the technological expertise and security protocols of newer entrants like Kraken? With a random name like Manole Capital, we clearly don't place too much emphasis on one's name. We do however appreciate 3 rd party, independent industry rankings. Kraken has been voted the #1 most secure cryptocurrency exchange by ICO Ratings.The second key issue to consider is protection and safety. Cryptocurrency custodians and exchanges are a prime target for hackers. There are hundreds and potentially thousands of thieves looking to steal your Bitcoin private key. PayPal and Robinhood recently sent warnings instructing their clients to install two factor authentication onto their digital wallets / account. Also, governments can force companies to freeze funds, if they perceive illegal activity or fraudulent behavior.Trusting someone else to store and manage your Bitcoin is a challenging decision. There have been a few custody firms to have disastrous results (i.e. Mt. Gox), but there are also extremely competent businesses that can trusted to hold your cryptocurrencies. For us, we prefer an expert store our assets, as opposed to keeping it under the proverbial mattress.Characteristics:As we mentioned earlier, there are certainideal characteristicswe look for in our investments. COIN has a strong brand name and dominates its cryptocurrency niche. Its platform is scalable and by leveraging certain blockchain advancements, COIN can provide a safe and secure environment for its customers.We often look for our companies to have dominant market shares, high barriers to entry and what Warren Buffett calls a \"moat around the franchise\". Regardless of industry, we always focus on an investment's market share. In terms of COIN's cryptocurrency market share, it has risen from 4.5% in 2018 to 8.3% in 2019 up to 11.0% in 2020.For exchanges, there is typically 1 or 2 firms that dominate the trading of a specific asset. These exchanges have the best liquidity and the tightest bid/ask spreads. For example, the CME dominates US interest rate trading, as well as WTI crude trading. Intercontinental Exchange dominates the Brent crude marketplace. Once an exchange begins to control trading for a certain asset, it is very difficult for a competitor to steal market share. Some try to lower trading pricing and commissions, but this usually is only temporary. Investors are always seeking best execution and will usually return to the marketplace with the most liquidity and tightest bid/ask spreads. From an exchange standpoint, this is definition of dominant market share, competitive advantage or possessing a moat around your franchise.Ideally, COIN is looking to become the one-stop shop for those wishing to buy, sell and/or store cryptocurrency. COIN has many of the desirable characteristics we look for in an investment, but it does have risks.Risk #1: BitcoinFor a business like COIN, there are literally dozens of risks. For starters, cryptocurrencies are volatile and we anticipate COIN's stock will be highly correlated to the price of BTC, Bitcoin and other important cryptocurrencies.As we have mentioned, the underlying price of these cryptocurrencies helps to determine COIN's revenue and profits. Possibly the biggest risk for owning COIN stock will be its reliance and dependency on rising Bitcoin and Ethereum prices.Risk #2: CompetitionOn the retail front, COIN has numerous competitors. For example, both Square's Cash App (36 million users) and PayPal (375 million accounts) are offering mobile-based wallets, primarily to retail clients. Customers can purchase various cryptocurrencies on both Square and PayPal and store them for free.Over time, we expect both of these firms to begin to allow wallet holders to transact in whatever currency he/she wishes. For example, a customer can use their Square Cash App wallet to transact at over 3 million Square merchant acquiring locations. This mobile wallet will permit credit or debit transactions, but might also permit the user to utilize their Bitcoin balance. There are numerous issues that still need to be resolved on this front, but this is what we have been calling \"closing-the-loop\".Risk #3: RegulationsExchanges are highly regulated entities and they must learn to engage with their regulators for the benefit of all market participants. COIN is subject to a regulated environment, but the rules and landscape are dynamic. Unlike US financials, with a known regulator, the laws and rules cryptocurrencies are subject to are constantly changing. As COIN moves more of its business to international markets, it will have additional governmental issues to deal with.The new SEC Chairman is Gary Gensler. Gensler was the head of the CFTC from May 2009 to January 2014 and was the primary regulator for the derivative exchanges. In his tenure at the CFTC, Gensler attempted to write rules and regulations for the swap markets, as suggested in the Dodd Frank Act of 2010 (following the Financial Crisis). Now that Gensler is at the SEC, one of his first challenges is what to do about regulating and providing oversight on Bitcoin and other digital currencies. He is not new to digital currencies, as he was a professor at MIT's Sloan School of Management after his stint at the CFTC. He primarily taught about blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies.As of today, there are only a few crypto funds available to investors. Grayscale has over $38 billion in assets and is the sponsor of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTC:GBTC), which is provides Bitcoin exposure for qualified investors. GBT investors have a $25,000 minimum investment and currently pay a 2.5% management fee.Many firms (Skybridge Capital, Valkyrie Digital, Fidelity Investments, VanEck, WisdomTree, etc) have announced their intention to offer Bitcoin ETF's. attempted to get the SEC to approve Bitcoin ETF's. As of now, the SEC has not approved any of these filings, but it will ultimately have to make a decision on the subject. Earlier SEC rejections were based upon problems with volatility, transparency, market surveillance and market and price manipulation. We expect a positive Bitcoin ETF to be approved by the SEC in 2021.In addition to SEC regulation, we anticipate the Federal Reserve to explore the subject too. Chairman Jay Powell, in official Congressional testimony, has officially stated that the Fed is looking into the idea of a \"fully digital dollar\". This type of \"Fed coin\" would likely need Congressional and White House approval and it is very much in the early innings of its examination. Chairman Powell is still dealing with the ramifications of a global pandemic and a soft US economy, so a CBDC might not be his first or even second priority right now.Risk #4: SecurityAs with any exchange, security and safety is paramount. We anticipate that COIN will be subject to thousands of cybersecurity attacks. Hackers, criminals and even foreign countries might find it worthwhile to breach COIN's platform. COIN's valuation is dependent upon it keeping its first-mover advantage and its reputation as a dominant cryptocurrency custodian. Security, for customers and partners, cannot be underestimated and COIN will have a very large target on its back.Scale & EBITDA Margins:For us, we always like to model in operating or EBITDA margins, as well as free cash flow for our exchanges. In 2020, EBITDA margins for the largest exchanges were impressive. Here is a table of the dominant four exchanges and their EBITDA margins last year, as compared to COIN. Looking at the 2020 EBITDA margins of its publicly-traded exchange peers, provides interesting insights. Last year, CBOE posted 68% EBITDA margins and CME and ICE each posted margins in the 62% to 63% range. Despite trailing their competitors, Nasdaq had impressive EBITDA margins of 55%, that would be the envy of most companies. One key takeaway is that all of the exchanges are generating impressive margins with excellent leverage and scale opportunities.Exchanges: CBOE CME ICE NDAQ vs COIN2020 EBITDA Margins 68% 62% 63% 55% 41%These exchanges have spent billions of dollars building out a scalable platform, that has enormous operating leverage. Each and every transaction that occurs is extremely high incremental margins. Most do not provide guidance on future or forward revenue, but they do have decent insight into expenses. The CME typically will provide forward expense guidance in the 2% to 5% range each year. Expenses don't dramatically increase each and every year, but do modestly rise.How does COIN compare? Well, COIN is still constructing its exchange and heavily investing in its infrastructure. Last year, technology and development expenses were $271.7 million or 21% of COIN's total revenue. In 2019, this expense line item was 35% of revenue.In 2020, COIN's expenses grew 50% year-over-year to $868.5 million. At this early stage of its lifecycle, we are pleasantly surprised to see that COIN is generating positive operating leverage (expense growth less than revenue growth).As you can see in this Compass Point chart, over the last 8 quarters, COIN's Adjusted EBITDA margins have steadily improved. Are they peaking or at an all-time high? No, but the best part about COIN's current margin trajectory is where we see it going.* Source: This is a slide/chart from CompassIn its S-1, Brian Armstrong (COIN's CEO) stated a focus on operating profits, as it tries to manage its expense growth. He said, \"We may earn a profit when revenues are high, and we may lose money when revenues are low.\" He then went on to state that \"our goal is to roughly operate the company at break even, smoothed out over time.\"This has proven to be true, when one considers that COIN generated $533 million in revenue in 2019, but lost $30m of profit that year. Then, in 2020, COIN produced $527 million of EBITDA on $1.2 billion of revenue. Clearly, the exchanges can generate very impressive profit margins, at scale.The real benefit for the exchanges comes when volatility spikes and volumes soar. As this happens, assuming the exchanges properly manages this rising volatility, profitability climbs. As more and more volumes transact on a platform, free cash flow (and margins) is very attractive. Operating margins at its other publicly-traded exchanges have been high for years and do not fluctuate significantly from year-to-year. As revenues surprise to the upside, because volatility spikes, these exchanges typically reward their shareholders with buybacks and special dividends. As much more mature businesses, these exchanges tend to allow this leverage upside to fall to the bottom line. We anticipate that COIN will choose to re-invest any revenue upside towards marketing, growing its customer base, improving its platform, and building up its infrastructure.Valuation:In their 1st quarter 2021 release, management provided a low-to-mid-to-high range for a number of key metrics. In terms of MTU's, COIN management provided low guidance of 4.0 million and high guidance of 7.0 million. In 2019, the net revenue per MTU was $37 and it increased to $49 last year. Over the last 8 quarters, the net revenue per MTU range has grown from $26 in the 1 st quarter of 2019 up to $59 in the last quarter of 2020.In our modeling and analysis, we will stick with management guidance, which ranges from $35 million to $45 million in net revenue per MTU. This implies revenue for the final three quarters of the year could be in the $3.48 billion on the low side and up to $4.64 billion on the high side. If we simply average these low and high ranges, 2021 revenue would be $4.1 billion. Considering COIN did $1.8 billion in revenue in the 1 st quarter alone, it is probably safe to assume that 2021 revenue will approach $4 billion this year. Our model is fairly detailed, but for this exercise, we will use a nice round $4.0 billion in 2021 revenue. Then, for 2022, we will assume 15% growth, to $4.6 billion. This does not seem like we are being aggressive. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised if COIN generates this level of revenue a full year earlier.Without making an assumption on future volume growth, we need to estimate profit margins for COIN. Over the next decade, we would expect COIN to post EBITDA margins into the mid-50's%. Over the next one to two years, we would like COIN to annually increase margins by 200 basis points. This should be do-able, even with COIN making significant investments in their operational technology and platform.Stock Trading vs Fundamentals:It can be challenging to sometimes separate the volatility of a stock from its underlying fundamentals. For example, the primary exchange to trade interest rates is the CME. When it comes to trading Brent crude, most traders prefer ICE (although WTI is primarily traded on CME). While both of these exchanges trade hundreds of other products and assets, those two products (interest rates and Brent crude) tend to materially impact the exchange stock price.When it comes to COIN, we anticipate the stock will trade very closely to the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum. If both digital currencies continue to rise, COIN's stock will be a solid success. If Bitcoin falls by (80%), like it did in 2019, COIN's stock will dramatically fall. In a world with massive Bitcoin volatility, COIN's underlying fundamentals should be good. In theory, COIN's stock should correlate and reflect the volatility of Bitcoin and Ethereum, not just their upward trajectory. However, we fully anticipate COIN's stock to trade in-line with the success or failure of Bitcoin.Today's reality is that certain market participants are not long-term investors. Many unfortunately consider stocks as pieces of paper, as short-term trading instruments. If Bitcoin were to struggle and decline in value, that volatility and environment would be excellent for COIN. In fact, that might be a great time to \"dip one's toe\" into a position. However, the Reddit and Wall Street Bets community is more likely to consider short-term trading momentum than bottoms up, underlying fundamentals.As we discussed earlier, COIN generated an impressive 2020 operating margin of 32%, compared to a (9%) in 2019. While some companies can post steady and smooth operating margins, COIN's will be much lumpier, at least until it is less Bitcoin becomes less volatile. Also, COIN has $188 million of cryptocurrencies on its balance sheet, comprised mainly of $130 million of Bitcoin and $24 million of Ether. There will be opportunities to purchase COIN, when short-term investors sell. This will likely occur as COIN ramps up its expenses or when Bitcoin falls.Price Target:Over the next month or so, we anticipate most sell-side analysts will publish targets on COIN. Unfortunately, most will use revenue multiples to determine their price targets. Manole Capital only owns companies that generate earnings and free cash flow, so we are loathe to utilize revenue multiples for price targets. We find that companies that use revenue multiples to justify a valuation are often incapable of generating important free cash flow. We are fine with companies investing in their future to ensure growth, but we cannot invest in companies that aren't concerned with free cash flow. For us, using the crutch of a revenue multiples isn't something we are comfortable doing.Fortunately, for this analysis of COIN, the company generates plenty of profit and free cash flow. We conservatively model COIN's revenue next year at $4.6 billion. Also, we believe it can add a point or two to EBITDA margins, into the mid-40% range. That would be 2021 EBITDA of $2.1 billion or $11.89 per share. We don't want to sound like a \"wise old sage\", but in the \"olden days\", investors could utilize reasonable EV (enterprise value) to EBITDA multiples in the 10x to 15x range. Maybe, if a company was experiencing fantastic growth and was getting acquired, you might see an EBITDA multiple approach 20x. Nasdaq, ICE and CBOE all have trailing EV to EBITDA multiples in the mid-to-high teens. In order to be remotely close to where COIN will trade this week, we would have to use a MarketAxess (MKTX) or Tradeweb (TW) lofty TTM EV to EBITDA multiples of roughly 45x. We just don't believe EV to EBITDA is the proper valuation metric to currently use. Should we use another cryptocurrency company like Silvergate (SI) and estimate a valuation using their EV to EBITDA multiple? At 108x trailing EBITDA, that would be a waste of time.To arrive at a realistic COIN price target, let's just model earnings and use a premium forward P/E multiple. If we apply a tax rate of 25% (not assuming any tax loss carryovers), we can estimate an EPS in 2021 of $8.50.Using that $8.50 per share in EPS, we then want to apply an exchange-like multiple, adding in a premium for COIN due to its exceptional growth. The average publicly-traded exchange trades at a forward P/E multiple of 20x. The table below provides some different targets, based upon the premium P/E one believes COIN deserves.Forward P/E Multiple 25x 30x 40x 45x 50xPremium to Peers 20% 50% 100%COIN Target $213 $255 $340 $381 $426On Wednesday, initial projections are looking for COIN to trade towards $65 billion, which implies $350 per share. We fully anticipate COIN rocketing past $400 and potentially closing the day in the $500 per share range. This would imply a market capitalization of COIN of $93 billion, which is approaching the $100 billion level that have been rumored to have occurred on some private exchanges.Conclusion:We expect COIN's direct listing on April 14th to be \"hot\".In a typical IPO, companies raise capital and provide exclusive, early access to large institutions. With wire houses placing shares into large institutions and asset managers first, retail investors often get shut out. Retail platforms like Schwab, Ameritrade, Robinhood, Fidelity typically cannot access IPOs for their customers.Since COIN has over $1 billion of cash on its balance sheet and does not need capital, it has decided to do a direct listing. The advantage of a direct listing is that it will enable retail investors to purchase COIN at the same time as larger institutions. Once COIN begins to trade freely on the Nasdaq exchange, both retail and institutional traders can participate. With 186 million shares outstanding, the market will ultimately determine what share price COIN trades at. We expect a flood of market orders, creating an interesting first day of trading.Is the lofty valuation we just laid out fair? Probably not, but that's what the market will determine. Is this a realistic scenario? Are our forecasts too conservative? Should you be an aggressive buyer? We think our estimates are fair, but COIN will likely immediately trade towards an aggressive multiple.If you don't want to pay that kind of forward multiple for COIN, there are other alternative. Maybe you should consider an investment in some of the other (and less expensive) exchanges, like Nasdaq or CBOE? These companies do not have the same growth prospects as COIN, but they do come with a much smaller price tag.We believe that COIN is a safe, trusted and easy-to-use platform for trading digital currencies. Some investors believe that they have \"missed out\" on the meteoric rise of Bitcoin, so they might chase a position in COIN. Others will look at COIN as a long-term opportunity to own the dominant digital currency exchange.In our opinion, owners should be willing to pay a premium for COIN shares, but they should also be prepared for significant volatility and competition. Only you know your specific risk/reward tolerances. Only time will tell the answers to some of these questions, but we'll get a good idea on Wednesday, once COIN trading begins.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":80,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3573281981124368","authorId":"3573281981124368","name":"HMKUAN","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f3523e6bbee69258630cf2af1a64557","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3573281981124368","idStr":"3573281981124368"},"content":"done, pls reply too","text":"done, pls reply too","html":"done, pls reply too"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":152187966,"gmtCreate":1625276126855,"gmtModify":1703739760484,"author":{"id":"3572397521268164","authorId":"3572397521268164","name":"JayTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2df5c1d990871ccbfc0f26d4948532db","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3572397521268164","idStr":"3572397521268164"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment pls","listText":"Like and comment pls","text":"Like and comment pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":7,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/152187966","repostId":"1165340887","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1165340887","pubTimestamp":1625257396,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1165340887?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-03 04:23","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. stocks sweep to fresh highs after strong jobs report","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1165340887","media":"yahoo","summary":"Stocks rose Friday to record levels as investors digested a key print on the U.S. labor market recovery, which pointed to a faster pace of payroll gains than expected.The S&P 500 set another record high, kicking off the first sessions of the third quarter on a high note.
