via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p><b>Investment thesis: When the innovation factory gets its growth playbook right - initiating coverage at \"buy\"</b></p>\n<p>We see Snapchat(SNAP)as a leading innovation factory in the social media space, benefitting from best-in-class growth profile, a large and sizeable TAM, strong industry positioning, and prescient co-founders, spearheaded by CEO Evan Spiegel and CTO Bobby Murphy. Even though a challenger to Facebook(NASDAQ:FB), SNAP has a strong track record of successful innovations, showcasing multiple successful product introductions which now mostly have all been encroached upon by rivals such as its disappearing messages, Stories, vertical video format and AR lenses to list just a few.</p>\n<p>Given its strong focus on privacy and limited quantum of personal information, users were willing to share on its platform, investors wereskepticalof SNAP’s monetisation capabilities vs Facebook in the past. However, a range of successful investments to improve ad targeting and ad measurement capabilities in the last two years, coupled with the restructuring of its sales team to focus on becoming sector specialists (away from being regional specialists) has seen SNAP increase advertisers ROI on its platform. This in turn has resulted in accelerating its own eCPM (revenue per impression) by 50% to 100% over the past year and powered revenue growth which has climbed @45.7% CAGR over the past two years to 2020.</p>\n<p>We see increased recent investments mostly to grow its vertical focused sales team and continued innovation, especially that in AR with the aim of increasing engagement of users, ultimately improving ROI for advertisers as both, commendable and disciplined. We see management forecasts of 50% revenue growth over the next three to five-year cycle as achievable given that monetisation (SNAP ARPU @$10 vs $32 for FB) remains relatively in early stages. After SNAP turned adjusted EBITDA positive in Q3 of 2020, we see a clear path to profitability corroborated by the high operating leverage inherent in social media platform businesses.</p>\n<p>However, SNAP does not come without its risks, as we see the recent introduction of iOS 14 software update, limiting advertisers' ability to track, retarget and measure ads displayed to Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL)users as especially disconcerting. Majority of SNAP’s revenue is still generated in the US, which is led by the Apple user base (54.4%market share of smartphones). We believe the next two quarters will be the high noon for SNAP’s long-term growth trajectory as the impact of the iOS 14 update becomes clearer on its earnings.</p>\n<p>Even though valuations are pricey, we believe the premium is warranted, emblematic of strong recent execution and best of breed growth profile. We see EV/REV of 25x 2022E Revenue as fair and see management outdoing its own bullish revenue growth expectation of CAGR @50% over the next three- to five-year cycle. This confers us a fair value of $102, imputing an upside of 42% from its current share price. We initiate coverage on SNAP at “Buy”</p>\n<p><b>Ongoing penetration of smartphone users on the back of the relaunch of its Android version will drive DAU growth for SNAP</b></p>\n<p>After a blip in SNAP's DAU growth in 2018 where the growth stalled due to a technical glitch in its platform, SNAP’s DAUs have increased at an average CAGR of 20% over the past two and half years to reach 293m users in Q2 2021. We see global DAUs increasing at 11.6% CAGR over the next three years driven primarily by:</p>\n<p><b>1. Relaunch of its Android version in Q1 2019:</b>In Q1 2021, management reported that its total number of android users had surpassed that of iOS, speaking volumes of the quality of its relaunch just two years ago. Previously management had confirmed performance issues in its app in 2018 on android phones which have now been completely resolved.</p>\n<p><b>2. Localizing content and language:</b>SNAP continues to invest in expanding its team to support its global community, including investing in region-specific performance improvements of its services, increasing localization of content, improving its creative tools, and offering more language support to its global community outside the United States. A case in point being SNAP’s launch of its first local-market Snap Original in March 2021 with Phone Swap India.</p>\n<p><b>3. Marketing:</b>Furthermore, it’s broadening its sales efforts and supplier partnerships to drive growth in new geographies where management is seeing increasing traction with users.</p>\n<p><b>4. Augmented Reality:</b>Another key accelerant for SNAP is its ongoing investment and progress/popularity of its Augmented Reality products/services. We believe SNAP has become the leading AR social media platform and continues to execute well on unlocking the significant multi-billion-dollar opportunity inherent in the e-commerce industry.</p>\n<p>Despite clocking an impressive growth in DAUs (Daily active users) over the past few years (Figure 1), SNAP’s penetration of the global smartphone user base at 4.7% is relatively in its nascence. SNAP's penetration is significantly lower than larger rivals such as Facebook @30.7% (Figure 2), albeit werecognizethat SNAP’s target age group (16–39-year-olds) is significantly narrower than that of Facebook. In our model, we forecast this to climb to 6.4% by 2026.</p>\n<p>Figure 1: SNAP’s Global DAU (M)</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d085771715b83e0b27cc681c7a5a4977\" tg-width=\"442\" tg-height=\"261\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: SNAP Company Filings</span></p>\n<p>Figure 2: Penetration of SNAP DAUs of global smartphones vs Facebook</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0a57f9f3fce44c19a6fa6a04a130a46b\" tg-width=\"398\" tg-height=\"226\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: SNAP Company Filings</span></p>\n<p>Note: Q2 CAGR is for half year 2021 only</p>\n<p>In North America, SNAP had 95m users in Q2 2021, growing at 7.1% CAGR from the beginning of 2018. This represents a 32.1% penetration of all smartphone users in North America. Facebook's DAU penetration of North American smartphone users currently stands @66%. We expect DAU's to continue to increase in the mid-single digits for SNAP in North America even after the pandemic as reopening of economies will lead to people going out more and expanding their social graph.</p>\n<p><b>Snapchat has 95m users in North America or 3.3% of total smartphones users</b></p>\n<p><b>Figure 3:</b>North America DAU (M)</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c118ad2cdb177cdecacf90188e327ee\" tg-width=\"435\" tg-height=\"250\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Snap Inc.</span></p>\n<p><b>Figure 4:</b>Penetration of DAUs in N.

According to our analysis, this represents c.12 to 18% penetration of all mobile subscribers in Europe. We expect DAUs to continue to increase in the mid-single digits for SNAP in Europe driven primarily by SNAP dedicating investments to increasingly localize content and add more language support.</p>\n<p><b>Snapchat has 78m users in Europe</b></p>\n<p><b>Figure 5:</b>Europe DAU (M)</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0015cb6b39d9fa81d99c88a1c1d96115\" tg-width=\"414\" tg-height=\"253\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Snap Inc.Note: Q2 CAGR is for half year 2021 only</span></p>\n<p>In ROTW, SNAP had 120m users in Q2 2021 growing at 45.5% CAGR from the beginning of 2018. We expect DAUs to continue to increase in the mid-single digits for SNAP in the ROTW, driven primarily by investments in localising content and language, adding new marketing partners and increasing uptake of AR lenses added by its global community.</p>\n<p><b>Snapchat has 120m users in ROTW</b></p>\n<p><b>Figure 6:</b>ROTW DAU (M)</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d21d95c3d76addb94be8c8641691653\" tg-width=\"407\" tg-height=\"253\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Snap Inc.Note: Q2 CAGR is for half year 2021 only</span></p>\n<p><b>Revenue per user is SNAP’s most significant lever of growth</b></p>\n<p>Despite a 2020 penetration rate of 31.3% of total users in the US, SNAP represented only 3.9% of total US social media advertisement spend. Its penetration of users in the US is especially low when compared to Facebook, (albeit we recognize SNAP's younger audience bias narrows its relative acreage vs its bigger rival). This highlights the long runway of growth for the company, as they begin to improve ROI for advertisers driving higher monetisation.</p>\n<p><b>Figure 7:</b>Facebook vs SNAP DAU's and ARPU</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f2a5b8d9ad68ee1592566eb68de5b499\" tg-width=\"566\" tg-height=\"332\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: SNAP and Facebook company filings</span></p>\n<p>Revenue per user has been SNAP’s biggest growth driver over the past couple of years driven primarily by…</p>\n<ol>\n <li>Restructuring its sales team to be vertical focused</li>\n <li>Recent investments in increasing ROI have paid rich dividends</li>\n <li>Video advertising</li>\n <li>Replicating successful US playbook in other markets</li>\n <li>AR impact on E-commerce – as management continues to execute well on unlocking the multi-billion-dollar apparel and clothing opportunity.</li>\n</ol>\n<p><b>Verticalizationstrategy has boosted ARPU growth in North America</b></p>\n<p>About two years ago, SNAP made a conscious decision to restructure its sales team to becoming sector specialist rather than continue down the track of being regional specialists. This transition has proven to be extremely successful for the company as ARPU increased by 35% in 2019 followed by 41% in 2020, measurably higher the prior year ARPU growth of 18% in 2018. Over the past 12 to 18 months, SNAP has reported measurable success in verticals such as E-commerce, Consumer Packaged Goods, Tech, Streaming, Online Education and Telco.</p>\n<p>Whilst the impact from Apple's iOS 14 IDFA upgrade on SNAP's growth profile remains indiscernible, we derive some confidence from management's recent strong Q3 guidance and see the risk of the Apple update limiting the ROI for advertisers as manageable. As such, we expect ARPU to grow by 39% in 2022, followed by 34% in 2023 (Figure 8).</p>\n<p><b>Figure 8:</b>SNAP’s NA ARPU growth</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d67a9ca7bd429c6e0c0d488842ba7baa\" tg-width=\"472\" tg-height=\"279\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Company Filings &amp; AlphaTech Equities</span></p>\n<p>Prior to implementing the verticalization strategy, a salesperson in the Midwest could serve advertisers from a host of different sectors including, McDonald's, Sprint, Target, T-Mobile, Taco Bell, Gap, Red Bull and Coca-Cola. This lack of focus restricted SNAP to build on advertising expertise required to serve individual verticals and drive higher ROI for clients. After restructuring, all account executives were made in charge of specific sectors rather than regions. An example being that all telecom account executives were made in charge of all advertisers in the telecom space only. This allowed SNAP’s account executives to work more closely with clients in the telecom sector, helping them problem solve and reach advertising goals. To connect these advertisers with audience, SNAP developed a more sophisticated suite of ad products and measurement tools, driving increased ROI for telecom clients.</p>\n<p><b>Ongoing investment in increasing ROI is paying rich dividends for SNAP</b></p>\n<p>By improving its advertising platforms by tweaking its ad measurement and optimization capabilities, SNAP has increased ROI for advertisers, in turn attracting more advertisers to its platform as it saw its active advertiser base doubling YoY in Q1 2021. Half of SNAP’s revenue is derived from direct response campaigns. Revenue from pixel purchases, which allows advertisers to track and retarget customers, was up 3x YoY in Q1 2021. It’s a similar story for SNAP’s Subscription goal-based bidding which also grew 3x YoY in Q1 2021.</p>\n<p>SNAP has always been known to be a laggard when it comes to delivering the same level of targeting capabilities vs Facebook. This has resulted in lower ROI for its advertisers. To counter this SNAP has been investing heavily to increase the sophistication of its ad platform over the past three years and recently claimed that it has reached “feature parity” with the largest advertising platform (Facebook) from the perspective of targeting capabilities driven by goal-based bidding optimizations and ad products.</p>\n<p>With the aim to increase ROI, we see SNAP’s recent investments in ad measurement and optimization as being extremely successful for clients, in turn increasing its own yield, as evidenced by year-on-year increases in eCPM of 67.0% in 1Q2021 and 122.0% in 2Q2021 (Figure 9). Some of the most successful ad products SNAP has released over the past three years, include its Dynamic Ads, down funnel Goal Based Bidding (GBB). This includes pixel purchase and app purchase, Commercials and Shows, Games and Self-Service AR.</p>\n<p><b>Figure 9:</b>eCPM Growth has been impressive since the pandemic</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9f4a31e5006be49edcfd3740bab45b51\" tg-width=\"480\" tg-height=\"274\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Company Transcripts</span></p>\n<p><b>Figure 10:</b>NA ARPU has seen strong growth</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6ae4ae83adc7111429f8194b34bd2ccf\" tg-width=\"471\" tg-height=\"275\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Company Transcripts</span></p>\n<p>Another example of how SNAP has successfully focused on improving return on ad spend for its advertisers is its investment in Dynamic Ads format, enabling retailers to implement e-commerce campaigns on its platform that automatically optimizes across the advertisers' entire catalogue. An example being Adidas Canada which as a part of its “Always on E-commerce Strategy”, ran SNAP’s Dynamic Ads, resulting in a 4.4x incremental ROI.</p>\n<p><b>Video advertising represents a significant opportunity for SNAP to accelerate ARPU growth</b></p>\n<p>SNAP was the pioneer of the vertical video format on social media platforms, known for being richly immersive and engaging has seen bigger rivals such as Facebook encroaching on its territory which has copied the format on its platform. Videos represent a significant opportunity for SNAP and other social media platforms to engage its users and drive meaningful results for its advertising partners. SNAP worked closely with Nielsen to help US advertisers gauge the efficacy of reaching their target audiences via Snap Ads. The study revealed how the Total Ad Ratings (TAR) of over thirty cross-platform advertising campaigns reached people on Snapchat versus TV. The study concluded with Snapchat allowing advertisers to increase the reach of its target audiences by 16%. More importantly &gt;70% of Gen Z audience that was reached by Snapchat could not be tapped by TV-only campaigns. This becomes increasingly imperative given the backdrop of people continuing to cut the cord and increasing consumption of mobile content leading to an increased advertisers demand for SNAP’s video ad products such as Commercials.</p>\n<p><b>Figure 11:</b>Time spent on Traditional vs Digital Media in the US</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d94f887d0668c3b90f62feba5192bc5a\" tg-width=\"274\" tg-height=\"293\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: eMarketer</span></p>\n<p><b>Figure 12:</b>Average time spent on mobile vs TV in the US</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2f7282acf1a6c682f32a5d2c8caf5a27\" tg-width=\"283\" tg-height=\"293\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: eMarketer</span></p>\n<p>Another study in partnership with IPG Media Lab revealed that the short form six-second ads convinced more users to consider purchasing the products featured in the commercials compared to 15-second ads.</p>\n<p><b>SNAP to replicate its US playbook in other regions with significant digital marketing budgets</b></p>\n<p>Even though European social media advertisement spend stands at $17.3bn vs $42.2bn in the US (41% of US figure), European ARPU at $5.53 at the end of 2020, represents only 28% of total size of US ARPU@$19.65, highlighting the significant headroom for SNAP to grow in the region. After seeing early success in accelerating revenue by building a robust sector team and increasing localisation, SNAP is now replicating the strategy in regions with markets with meaningful userbase coupled with large digital marketing budgets.</p>\n<p><b>Figure 13: Social media Ad spend in EU vs NA</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/498d0ad9e0658b65a04a78301ba041a3\" tg-width=\"428\" tg-height=\"264\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Statista</span></p>\n<p><b>Figure 14: SNAP EU vs NA ARPU</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a484a4e962defffadca653fa6fcf4345\" tg-width=\"453\" tg-height=\"256\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Company Filings</span></p>\n<p>In European countries such as UK, Netherlands and France, SNAP already reaches 90% of 13–24-year-olds and 75% of 12-34-year-olds. These developed European countries already see significant digital marketing spend and as such should be the easy low hanging fruits for SNAP to replicate its US playbook in and drive ARPU growth over the next three to five years. Furthermore, in countries that account for over half the world’s digital ad spend, Snapchat already reaches 70% of 13-34-year olds.</p>\n<p><b>SNAP’s AR capabilities allow it to tap into the significant E-commerce opportunity</b></p>\n<p>SNAP sees 200m people engaging with its AR features every day as brands increasingly try to find ways to supplement sales from physical brick and mortars even after the pandemic recedes. A study commissioned by SNAP in partnership with Deloitte saw 94% of people are expecting to use AR for shopping at the same level or more in 2022 versus 2021. SNAP’s leadership in both AR capabilities and user engagement ideally positions it to expand AR to new use cases and behaviours. We see SNAP’s young audience to be early adopters of these new technologies and shopping experiences. One of the key verticals SNAP has customised its solutions for is Apparel and Accessories, which is the largest shopping category for US teenagers (Figure 15).</p>\n<p><b>Figure 15:</b>The apparel, footwear and accessories retail e-commerce revenue in the US ($m)</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/26a4a2c66cfa4357296cfd658cba4678\" tg-width=\"477\" tg-height=\"291\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Statista (U.S. online apparel and fashion market size 2022 | Statista) and AlphaTech Equities</span></p>\n<p>Given its AR capabilities, SNAP has solved many technical challenges in the e-commerce space re online shopping. Some areas where SNAP has already made good progress and reported significant success for its retailers include, trying on a pair of shoes, a watch or sunglasses through the use of its AR capabilities. SNAP allows its users to create and manage their 3D models which can easily be converted into Lenses. A good example is Dior's Lens campaign that allowed users to try on six pairs of B27 sneakers through AR. SNAP promoted the lenses within the Snapchat camera and via Snap Ads, with videos showing runway models playing with the Lens and pushing Snapchatters to virtually try on the sneakers by swiping up. This promotion resulted in a 6.2x ROI for Dior.</p>\n<p>Another area of progress rescaling for SNAP has been its beauty AR Lenses which allows users to try on an entire catalogue of beauty skews provided by retailers through its Lens Web Builder. Furthermore, SNAP makes it easier to find new fashion items by enabling users to scan a friend’s outfit or use a saved photo or screenshot and shop for similar items.</p>\n<p>Some of the areas on which SNAP is currently working on perfecting include allowing users to try on clothes and make it look realistic in the way that it drapes over the user's body in the right way. This is much more technically challenging, but we believe if cracked could open up a multi-billion-dollar opportunity for SNAP. Furthermore, SNAP has recently made some longer-term investments with acquisitions such as Fit Analytics and Aerial AI, enabling users to find the correct fit and size for clothes, helping reduce returns and drive margins for retailers. SNAP has also recently released some new features in Lens Studio 4.0 moving towards the goal of achieving a full apparel try-on.</p>\n<p><b>Will Apple’s iOS 14 update on IDFA scuttle SNAP's growth trajectory?</b></p>\n<p>IDFA; an identifier for advertisers is a unique identifier for devices and is used by advertising platforms such as SNAP to target and measure effectiveness of ads by each user through their mobile devices. With the iOS 14 update, Apple announced that it will enable users to block IDFA at the app level. Presaging the iOS 14 update consumers had to actively opt-out of sharing their IDFA but with the software update users are prompted to opt-in or opt-out of sharing their information. Previously, it is believed that 70% of iOS users shared their information but with the latest iOS update only 17% of users have opted in to share their IDFA as of July 2021.</p>\n<p><b>The IDFA update by iOS will see advertising platforms such as SNAP primarily impinged in two key areas:</b></p>\n<p><b>Ad Targeting:</b>If users have actively opted out of sharing their IDFA, platforms such as SNAP will no longer be able to track and retarget them for advertisement purposes. Platforms such as Facebook and Google have other deterministic variables which allow them to track individuals through their mobile devices such as emails and phone numbers. However, what level of these other deterministic variables is available to SNAP remains an unknown.</p>\n<p><b>Ad Measurement:</b>Previously, Mobile Measurement Partners (MMPs are companies which help apps measure the performance of campaigns) had constructed their measurement and fraud capabilities using the IDFA as a base. But with the update to iOS 14, Apple has announced the replacement API called the SKAdNetwork which will allow apps such as SNAP to collect ad conversion data at the campaign level. However, the new API is widely believed to reduce the quality of the date received by apps.</p>\n<p>Somewhat unsurprisingly, SNAP in its most recent earnings call reported seeing some early signs of demand disruptions as advertisers test and learn in this post iOS app tracking environment. This is especially true in the direct response e-commerce and gaming verticals. We continue to monitor these changes that will impact SNAP’s advertising partners, as it has been coy so far to conclude 1). how long it will take for these changes to be fully adopted, 2). the magnitude of the potential interruptions to demand, and 3). the eventual impact on its longer-term growth trajectory.</p>\n<p>In what has been seen as a vote of confidence for the social media company, SNAP saw higher opt-in rates by its users versus the industry average which is around 17% on the back of Apple launching its App Tracking Transparency-related changes at the backend of Q2 this year. SNAP believes that the introduction of the tracking changes by Apple came in later than anticipated. Additionally, the pace of updates to iOS 14 by iPhone users was also lagging SNAP’s expectations, allowing advertisers some more space to navigate Apple’s privacy changes. This we believe has pushed the full impact of the Apple privacy introduction into 2H 2021.</p>\n<p>With the aim to comply with Apple’s latest changes, SNAP enabled advertisers to measure their campaigns through its privacy-protecting measurement stack by introducing Advanced Conversions in Ads Manager. Furthermore, SNAP also launched support of SKAdnetwork version 3.0, with the aim of increasing attribution for advertisers who run Apple’s API.</p>\n<p><b>SNAP’s shares, even though expensive is poised for further acceleration</b></p>\n<p>We believe, much like SNAP's disappearing posts and videos, the opportunity for investors to buy the stock at these levels will not last long. SNAP has traded in EV/Rev range of 18x to 28x over the past 12 months or so which we see justified given its superior execution of its new playbook, leading to best of breed revenue growth profile. We see current street estimates as conservative, caveat by our assumption that the impact from the iOS 14 upgrade will do little to hinder its growth profile going forward. We will monitor Q3 2021 earnings closely for evidence on this, but for now, feel comfortable with management's guidance of 50% rev growth over the next three to five-year cycle.</p>\n<p><b>Figure 16: EV/REV ranged from 18-28x over the past year</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2fc0c3e5ba6dbe46e068bda2353e7fce\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"326\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Koyfin</span></p>\n<p>We estimate 2022 revenue of $6.3bn which is slightly ahead of current street forecasts at $6.2bn (MarketScreener) driven by higher ARPU and growth in DAU’s forecast.

Even though a challenger to Facebook(NASDAQ:FB), SNAP has a strong track record of successful innovations, showcasing multiple successful product introductions which now mostly have all been encroached upon by rivals such as its disappearing messages, Stories, vertical video format and AR lenses to list just a few.\nGiven its strong focus on privacy and limited quantum of personal information, users were willing to share on its platform, investors wereskepticalof SNAP’s monetisation capabilities vs Facebook in the past. However, a range of successful investments to improve ad targeting and ad measurement capabilities in the last two years, coupled with the restructuring of its sales team to focus on becoming sector specialists (away from being regional specialists) has seen SNAP increase advertisers ROI on its platform. This in turn has resulted in accelerating its own eCPM (revenue per impression) by 50% to 100% over the past year and powered revenue growth which has climbed @45.7% CAGR over the past two years to 2020.\nWe see increased recent investments mostly to grow its vertical focused sales team and continued innovation, especially that in AR with the aim of increasing engagement of users, ultimately improving ROI for advertisers as both, commendable and disciplined. We see management forecasts of 50% revenue growth over the next three to five-year cycle as achievable given that monetisation (SNAP ARPU @$10 vs $32 for FB) remains relatively in early stages. After SNAP turned adjusted EBITDA positive in Q3 of 2020, we see a clear path to profitability corroborated by the high operating leverage inherent in social media platform businesses.\nHowever, SNAP does not come without its risks, as we see the recent introduction of iOS 14 software update, limiting advertisers' ability to track, retarget and measure ads displayed to Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL)users as especially disconcerting. Majority of SNAP’s revenue is still generated in the US, which is led by the Apple user base (54.4%market share of smartphones). We believe the next two quarters will be the high noon for SNAP’s long-term growth trajectory as the impact of the iOS 14 update becomes clearer on its earnings.\nEven though valuations are pricey, we believe the premium is warranted, emblematic of strong recent execution and best of breed growth profile. We see EV/REV of 25x 2022E Revenue as fair and see management outdoing its own bullish revenue growth expectation of CAGR @50% over the next three- to five-year cycle. This confers us a fair value of $102, imputing an upside of 42% from its current share price. We initiate coverage on SNAP at “Buy”\nOngoing penetration of smartphone users on the back of the relaunch of its Android version will drive DAU growth for SNAP\nAfter a blip in SNAP's DAU growth in 2018 where the growth stalled due to a technical glitch in its platform, SNAP’s DAUs have increased at an average CAGR of 20% over the past two and half years to reach 293m users in Q2 2021. We see global DAUs increasing at 11.6% CAGR over the next three years driven primarily by:\n1. Relaunch of its Android version in Q1 2019:In Q1 2021, management reported that its total number of android users had surpassed that of iOS, speaking volumes of the quality of its relaunch just two years ago. Previously management had confirmed performance issues in its app in 2018 on android phones which have now been completely resolved.\n2. Localizing content and language:SNAP continues to invest in expanding its team to support its global community, including investing in region-specific performance improvements of its services, increasing localization of content, improving its creative tools, and offering more language support to its global community outside the United States. A case in point being SNAP’s launch of its first local-market Snap Original in March 2021 with Phone Swap India.\n3. Marketing:Furthermore, it’s broadening its sales efforts and supplier partnerships to drive growth in new geographies where management is seeing increasing traction with users.\n4. Augmented Reality:Another key accelerant for SNAP is its ongoing investment and progress/popularity of its Augmented Reality products/services. We believe SNAP has become the leading AR social media platform and continues to execute well on unlocking the significant multi-billion-dollar opportunity inherent in the e-commerce industry.\nDespite clocking an impressive growth in DAUs (Daily active users) over the past few years (Figure 1), SNAP’s penetration of the global smartphone user base at 4.7% is relatively in its nascence. SNAP's penetration is significantly lower than larger rivals such as Facebook @30.7% (Figure 2), albeit werecognizethat SNAP’s target age group (16–39-year-olds) is significantly narrower than that of Facebook. In our model, we forecast this to climb to 6.4% by 2026.\nFigure 1: SNAP’s Global DAU (M)\nSource: SNAP Company Filings\nFigure 2: Penetration of SNAP DAUs of global smartphones vs Facebook\nSource: SNAP Company Filings\nNote: Q2 CAGR is for half year 2021 only\nIn North America, SNAP had 95m users in Q2 2021, growing at 7.1% CAGR from the beginning of 2018. This represents a 32.1% penetration of all smartphone users in North America. Facebook's DAU penetration of North American smartphone users currently stands @66%. We expect DAU's to continue to increase in the mid-single digits for SNAP in North America even after the pandemic as reopening of economies will lead to people going out more and expanding their social graph.\nSnapchat has 95m users in North America or 3.3% of total smartphones users\nFigure 3:North America DAU (M)\nSource: Snap Inc.\nFigure 4:Penetration of DAUs in N. America\nSource: Snap Inc.\nNote: Q2 CAGR is for half year 2021 only\nIn Europe, SNAP had 78m users in Q2 2021 growing at 11.1% CAGR from the beginning of 2018. According to our analysis, this represents c.12 to 18% penetration of all mobile subscribers in Europe. We expect DAUs to continue to increase in the mid-single digits for SNAP in Europe driven primarily by SNAP dedicating investments to increasingly localize content and add more language support.\nSnapchat has 78m users in Europe\nFigure 5:Europe DAU (M)\nSource: Snap Inc.Note: Q2 CAGR is for half year 2021 only\nIn ROTW, SNAP had 120m users in Q2 2021 growing at 45.5% CAGR from the beginning of 2018. We expect DAUs to continue to increase in the mid-single digits for SNAP in the ROTW, driven primarily by investments in localising content and language, adding new marketing partners and increasing uptake of AR lenses added by its global community.\nSnapchat has 120m users in ROTW\nFigure 6:ROTW DAU (M)\nSource: Snap Inc.Note: Q2 CAGR is for half year 2021 only\nRevenue per user is SNAP’s most significant lever of growth\nDespite a 2020 penetration rate of 31.3% of total users in the US, SNAP represented only 3.9% of total US social media advertisement spend. Its penetration of users in the US is especially low when compared to Facebook, (albeit we recognize SNAP's younger audience bias narrows its relative acreage vs its bigger rival). This highlights the long runway of growth for the company, as they begin to improve ROI for advertisers driving higher monetisation.\nFigure 7:Facebook vs SNAP DAU's and ARPU\nSource: SNAP and Facebook company filings\nRevenue per user has been SNAP’s biggest growth driver over the past couple of years driven primarily by…\n\nRestructuring its sales team to be vertical focused\nRecent investments in increasing ROI have paid rich dividends\nVideo advertising\nReplicating successful US playbook in other markets\nAR impact on E-commerce – as management continues to execute well on unlocking the multi-billion-dollar apparel and clothing opportunity.\n\nVerticalizationstrategy has boosted ARPU growth in North America\nAbout two years ago, SNAP made a conscious decision to restructure its sales team to becoming sector specialist rather than continue down the track of being regional specialists. This transition has proven to be extremely successful for the company as ARPU increased by 35% in 2019 followed by 41% in 2020, measurably higher the prior year ARPU growth of 18% in 2018. Over the past 12 to 18 months, SNAP has reported measurable success in verticals such as E-commerce, Consumer Packaged Goods, Tech, Streaming, Online Education and Telco.\nWhilst the impact from Apple's iOS 14 IDFA upgrade on SNAP's growth profile remains indiscernible, we derive some confidence from management's recent strong Q3 guidance and see the risk of the Apple update limiting the ROI for advertisers as manageable. As such, we expect ARPU to grow by 39% in 2022, followed by 34% in 2023 (Figure 8).\nFigure 8:SNAP’s NA ARPU growth\nSource: Company Filings & AlphaTech Equities\nPrior to implementing the verticalization strategy, a salesperson in the Midwest could serve advertisers from a host of different sectors including, McDonald's, Sprint, Target, T-Mobile, Taco Bell, Gap, Red Bull and Coca-Cola. This lack of focus restricted SNAP to build on advertising expertise required to serve individual verticals and drive higher ROI for clients. After restructuring, all account executives were made in charge of specific sectors rather than regions. An example being that all telecom account executives were made in charge of all advertisers in the telecom space only. This allowed SNAP’s account executives to work more closely with clients in the telecom sector, helping them problem solve and reach advertising goals. To connect these advertisers with audience, SNAP developed a more sophisticated suite of ad products and measurement tools, driving increased ROI for telecom clients.\nOngoing investment in increasing ROI is paying rich dividends for SNAP\nBy improving its advertising platforms by tweaking its ad measurement and optimization capabilities, SNAP has increased ROI for advertisers, in turn attracting more advertisers to its platform as it saw its active advertiser base doubling YoY in Q1 2021. Half of SNAP’s revenue is derived from direct response campaigns. Revenue from pixel purchases, which allows advertisers to track and retarget customers, was up 3x YoY in Q1 2021. It’s a similar story for SNAP’s Subscription goal-based bidding which also grew 3x YoY in Q1 2021.\nSNAP has always been known to be a laggard when it comes to delivering the same level of targeting capabilities vs Facebook. This has resulted in lower ROI for its advertisers. To counter this SNAP has been investing heavily to increase the sophistication of its ad platform over the past three years and recently claimed that it has reached “feature parity” with the largest advertising platform (Facebook) from the perspective of targeting capabilities driven by goal-based bidding optimizations and ad products.\nWith the aim to increase ROI, we see SNAP’s recent investments in ad measurement and optimization as being extremely successful for clients, in turn increasing its own yield, as evidenced by year-on-year increases in eCPM of 67.0% in 1Q2021 and 122.0% in 2Q2021 (Figure 9). Some of the most successful ad products SNAP has released over the past three years, include its Dynamic Ads, down funnel Goal Based Bidding (GBB). This includes pixel purchase and app purchase, Commercials and Shows, Games and Self-Service AR.\nFigure 9:eCPM Growth has been impressive since the pandemic\nSource: Company Transcripts\nFigure 10:NA ARPU has seen strong growth\nSource: Company Transcripts\nAnother example of how SNAP has successfully focused on improving return on ad spend for its advertisers is its investment in Dynamic Ads format, enabling retailers to implement e-commerce campaigns on its platform that automatically optimizes across the advertisers' entire catalogue. An example being Adidas Canada which as a part of its “Always on E-commerce Strategy”, ran SNAP’s Dynamic Ads, resulting in a 4.4x incremental ROI.\nVideo advertising represents a significant opportunity for SNAP to accelerate ARPU growth\nSNAP was the pioneer of the vertical video format on social media platforms, known for being richly immersive and engaging has seen bigger rivals such as Facebook encroaching on its territory which has copied the format on its platform. Videos represent a significant opportunity for SNAP and other social media platforms to engage its users and drive meaningful results for its advertising partners. SNAP worked closely with Nielsen to help US advertisers gauge the efficacy of reaching their target audiences via Snap Ads. The study revealed how the Total Ad Ratings (TAR) of over thirty cross-platform advertising campaigns reached people on Snapchat versus TV. The study concluded with Snapchat allowing advertisers to increase the reach of its target audiences by 16%. More importantly >70% of Gen Z audience that was reached by Snapchat could not be tapped by TV-only campaigns. This becomes increasingly imperative given the backdrop of people continuing to cut the cord and increasing consumption of mobile content leading to an increased advertisers demand for SNAP’s video ad products such as Commercials.\nFigure 11:Time spent on Traditional vs Digital Media in the US\nSource: eMarketer\nFigure 12:Average time spent on mobile vs TV in the US\nSource: eMarketer\nAnother study in partnership with IPG Media Lab revealed that the short form six-second ads convinced more users to consider purchasing the products featured in the commercials compared to 15-second ads.\nSNAP to replicate its US playbook in other regions with significant digital marketing budgets\nEven though European social media advertisement spend stands at $17.3bn vs $42.2bn in the US (41% of US figure), European ARPU at $5.53 at the end of 2020, represents only 28% of total size of US ARPU@$19.65, highlighting the significant headroom for SNAP to grow in the region. After seeing early success in accelerating revenue by building a robust sector team and increasing localisation, SNAP is now replicating the strategy in regions with markets with meaningful userbase coupled with large digital marketing budgets.\nFigure 13: Social media Ad spend in EU vs NA\nSource: Statista\nFigure 14: SNAP EU vs NA ARPU\nSource: Company Filings\nIn European countries such as UK, Netherlands and France, SNAP already reaches 90% of 13–24-year-olds and 75% of 12-34-year-olds. These developed European countries already see significant digital marketing spend and as such should be the easy low hanging fruits for SNAP to replicate its US playbook in and drive ARPU growth over the next three to five years. Furthermore, in countries that account for over half the world’s digital ad spend, Snapchat already reaches 70% of 13-34-year olds.\nSNAP’s AR capabilities allow it to tap into the significant E-commerce opportunity\nSNAP sees 200m people engaging with its AR features every day as brands increasingly try to find ways to supplement sales from physical brick and mortars even after the pandemic recedes. A study commissioned by SNAP in partnership with Deloitte saw 94% of people are expecting to use AR for shopping at the same level or more in 2022 versus 2021. SNAP’s leadership in both AR capabilities and user engagement ideally positions it to expand AR to new use cases and behaviours. We see SNAP’s young audience to be early adopters of these new technologies and shopping experiences. One of the key verticals SNAP has customised its solutions for is Apparel and Accessories, which is the largest shopping category for US teenagers (Figure 15).\nFigure 15:The apparel, footwear and accessories retail e-commerce revenue in the US ($m)\nSource: Statista (U.S. online apparel and fashion market size 2022 | Statista) and AlphaTech Equities\nGiven its AR capabilities, SNAP has solved many technical challenges in the e-commerce space re online shopping. Some areas where SNAP has already made good progress and reported significant success for its retailers include, trying on a pair of shoes, a watch or sunglasses through the use of its AR capabilities. SNAP allows its users to create and manage their 3D models which can easily be converted into Lenses. A good example is Dior's Lens campaign that allowed users to try on six pairs of B27 sneakers through AR. SNAP promoted the lenses within the Snapchat camera and via Snap Ads, with videos showing runway models playing with the Lens and pushing Snapchatters to virtually try on the sneakers by swiping up. This promotion resulted in a 6.2x ROI for Dior.\nAnother area of progress rescaling for SNAP has been its beauty AR Lenses which allows users to try on an entire catalogue of beauty skews provided by retailers through its Lens Web Builder. Furthermore, SNAP makes it easier to find new fashion items by enabling users to scan a friend’s outfit or use a saved photo or screenshot and shop for similar items.\nSome of the areas on which SNAP is currently working on perfecting include allowing users to try on clothes and make it look realistic in the way that it drapes over the user's body in the right way. This is much more technically challenging, but we believe if cracked could open up a multi-billion-dollar opportunity for SNAP. Furthermore, SNAP has recently made some longer-term investments with acquisitions such as Fit Analytics and Aerial AI, enabling users to find the correct fit and size for clothes, helping reduce returns and drive margins for retailers. SNAP has also recently released some new features in Lens Studio 4.0 moving towards the goal of achieving a full apparel try-on.\nWill Apple’s iOS 14 update on IDFA scuttle SNAP's growth trajectory?\nIDFA; an identifier for advertisers is a unique identifier for devices and is used by advertising platforms such as SNAP to target and measure effectiveness of ads by each user through their mobile devices. With the iOS 14 update, Apple announced that it will enable users to block IDFA at the app level. Presaging the iOS 14 update consumers had to actively opt-out of sharing their IDFA but with the software update users are prompted to opt-in or opt-out of sharing their information. Previously, it is believed that 70% of iOS users shared their information but with the latest iOS update only 17% of users have opted in to share their IDFA as of July 2021.\nThe IDFA update by iOS will see advertising platforms such as SNAP primarily impinged in two key areas:\nAd Targeting:If users have actively opted out of sharing their IDFA, platforms such as SNAP will no longer be able to track and retarget them for advertisement purposes. Platforms such as Facebook and Google have other deterministic variables which allow them to track individuals through their mobile devices such as emails and phone numbers. However, what level of these other deterministic variables is available to SNAP remains an unknown.\nAd Measurement:Previously, Mobile Measurement Partners (MMPs are companies which help apps measure the performance of campaigns) had constructed their measurement and fraud capabilities using the IDFA as a base. But with the update to iOS 14, Apple has announced the replacement API called the SKAdNetwork which will allow apps such as SNAP to collect ad conversion data at the campaign level. However, the new API is widely believed to reduce the quality of the date received by apps.\nSomewhat unsurprisingly, SNAP in its most recent earnings call reported seeing some early signs of demand disruptions as advertisers test and learn in this post iOS app tracking environment. This is especially true in the direct response e-commerce and gaming verticals. We continue to monitor these changes that will impact SNAP’s advertising partners, as it has been coy so far to conclude 1). how long it will take for these changes to be fully adopted, 2). the magnitude of the potential interruptions to demand, and 3). the eventual impact on its longer-term growth trajectory.\nIn what has been seen as a vote of confidence for the social media company, SNAP saw higher opt-in rates by its users versus the industry average which is around 17% on the back of Apple launching its App Tracking Transparency-related changes at the backend of Q2 this year. SNAP believes that the introduction of the tracking changes by Apple came in later than anticipated. Additionally, the pace of updates to iOS 14 by iPhone users was also lagging SNAP’s expectations, allowing advertisers some more space to navigate Apple’s privacy changes. This we believe has pushed the full impact of the Apple privacy introduction into 2H 2021.\nWith the aim to comply with Apple’s latest changes, SNAP enabled advertisers to measure their campaigns through its privacy-protecting measurement stack by introducing Advanced Conversions in Ads Manager. Furthermore, SNAP also launched support of SKAdnetwork version 3.0, with the aim of increasing attribution for advertisers who run Apple’s API.\nSNAP’s shares, even though expensive is poised for further acceleration\nWe believe, much like SNAP's disappearing posts and videos, the opportunity for investors to buy the stock at these levels will not last long. SNAP has traded in EV/Rev range of 18x to 28x over the past 12 months or so which we see justified given its superior execution of its new playbook, leading to best of breed revenue growth profile. We see current street estimates as conservative, caveat by our assumption that the impact from the iOS 14 upgrade will do little to hinder its growth profile going forward. We will monitor Q3 2021 earnings closely for evidence on this, but for now, feel comfortable with management's guidance of 50% rev growth over the next three to five-year cycle.\nFigure 16: EV/REV ranged from 18-28x over the past year\nSource: Koyfin\nWe estimate 2022 revenue of $6.3bn which is slightly ahead of current street forecasts at $6.2bn (MarketScreener) driven by higher ARPU and growth in DAU’s forecast. We see a 25x EV/Rev multiple as fair for SNAP, imputing an upside of 42% from its current share price of $72. We initiate coverage on the stock with a rating of “Buy” for SNAP.\nFigure 17: We get an upside of 42% for SNAP on a 25x EV/REV multiple on 2022E revenue\nSource: Koyfin, Company reports and AlphaTech Equities\nConclusion: We see Snapchat in the elite list of trillion-dollar companies club in the medium to long term\n\nWe initiate coverage of SNAP with A “Buy” rating and price target of $102, imputing an upside of 42.2% from its current share price.\nWe see a long runway for monetisation growth for SNAP underpinned by its recent successful investments in improving ROI for advertisers.\nWith 293m users worldwide, representing only a 4.7% penetration of global smartphone users vs 30.7% for Facebook, we see ample headroom for SNAP to grow its user base.\nWe see management’s multi-year revenue growth CAGR target of 50% as achievable driven by growth in DAU and accelerating ARPU.\nHowever, we closely monitor the risk posed by the latest iOS 14 IDFA which clipped the ability to track and retarget iOS users for advertising platforms such as SNAP.\nEven though valuation remains rich at 25x EV/REV 2022, we see this justified by SNAP’s best of breed growth profile.\nUnless the latest IDFA update from Apple dictates otherwise, we see SNAP continuing to punch strong growth numbers and see current share price as a good entry point for investors who missed the post-pandemic rally. We Initiate coverage on SNAP at \"Buy\".","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":399,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":860971506,"gmtCreate":1632128166105,"gmtModify":1676530706348,"author":{"id":"3572467863337252","authorId":"3572467863337252","name":"Jaywei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beccce245458fd51f01db3fd362d9d9c","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Some?","listText":"Some?","text":"Some?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/860971506","repostId":"1117610618","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1117610618","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing

worthless.","content":"<p><b>Tesla</b>&nbsp;stock is holding nicely above a rising 50-day moving average and is trading above 700 in the stock market today.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>One bad thing about Tesla stock is that it doesn't pay a dividend. But, what if we could use options to manufacture our own dividend?&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Let's say I have $45,000 that I want to invest in TSLA stock. I could simply buy some shares and hope the stock rises.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>But, if I want a more conservative play, I could sell a March 18, 2022-expiring put with a strike price of 450 and set aside the $45,000 in case I am assigned on the short put.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>That 450 strike put generates around $2,680 in option premium in just under eight months.&nbsp;So, my $45,000 investment into Tesla is giving me a 10.14% annualized \"dividend.\" What's the catch? Well, much like owning Tesla shares, if the stock keeps dropping, I'm going to lose money in the short-term.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>If Tesla stock is below 450 next March, then I will be forced to buy 100 shares at 450 each.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>10% Annualized Return If Put Expires Worthless</h3>\n<p>But, if TSLA stays above 450, then I achieve a 10.14% per annum return when the put expires worthless.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Cash secured puts are a bullish strategy but are considered slightly less bullish than owning Tesla stock because the potential gains are limited to the premium received.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The 450 strike put currently has a delta of 9, so selling this put gives you an exposure roughly equivalent to owning nine shares of Tesla stock, although this will change as the stock moves up and down.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>One method that can help cut the risk is to turn it into a spread and buy a $250 strike put. This turns the trade into a bull put spread and reduces the capital at risk.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Tesla stock has a Composite Rating of 89, an EPS Rating of 73 and a Relative Strength Rating of 86.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Please remember that options are risky, and investors can lose 100% of&nbsp;their investment.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>This article is for education purposes only and not a trade recommendation.

AT&T learned the hard way that owning complementary products is no guarantee of success.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":422,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":808049789,"gmtCreate":1627546807541,"gmtModify":1703492084662,"author":{"id":"3572467863337252","authorId":"3572467863337252","name":"Jaywei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beccce245458fd51f01db3fd362d9d9c","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PDD\">$Pinduoduo Inc.(PDD)$</a>Good good gogoo","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PDD\">$Pinduoduo Inc.(PDD)$</a>Good good gogoo","text":"$Pinduoduo Inc.(PDD)$Good good gogoo","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3a803fd2def3cf011cfc510499e19dfa","width":"1170","height":"2026"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/808049789","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":351,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":803704720,"gmtCreate":1627461441560,"gmtModify":1703490413371,"author":{"id":"3572467863337252","authorId":"3572467863337252","name":"Jaywei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beccce245458fd51f01db3fd362d9d9c","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TIGR\">$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$</a>Let’s go ?&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TIGR\">$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$</a>Let’s go ?&nbsp;","text":"$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$Let’s go ?","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8cd0f5634979d1942a82bf62be8075a4","width":"1170","height":"2026"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/803704720","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":482,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":171124267,"gmtCreate":1626720438759,"gmtModify":1703763947025,"author":{"id":"3572467863337252","authorId":"3572467863337252","name":"Jaywei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beccce245458fd51f01db3fd362d9d9c","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SOFI\">$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$</a>Like and comment","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SOFI\">$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$</a>Like and comment","text":"$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$Like and comment","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c18a3433d1956d5af07ad0f3dd8e4d91","width":"1170","height":"2026"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/171124267","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":520,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":144673736,"gmtCreate":1626287477425,"gmtModify":1703757186650,"author":{"id":"3572467863337252","authorId":"3572467863337252","name":"Jaywei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beccce245458fd51f01db3fd362d9d9c","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Interesting","listText":"Interesting","text":"Interesting","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/144673736","repostId":"1153647839","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1153647839","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1626244543,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1153647839?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-14 14:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Cathie Wood Trims Nvidia, Shopify Stakes And Piles Up Another $7M In Bitcoin Play Coinbase","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1153647839","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Cathie Wood-led Ark Investment Management on Tuesday shed 785 shares, estimated to be worth about $6","content":"<p>Cathie Wood-led Ark Investment Management on Tuesday shed 785 shares, estimated to be worth about $635,850, in chipmaker<b>Nvidia Corp</b>(NASDAQ:NVDA).</p>\n<p>Shares of Nvidia, which have risen 54.4% so far this year, closed 1.28% lower at $810 on Tuesday.</p>\n<p>The New York-based investment firm deployed the&nbsp;<b>ARK Space Exploration &amp; Innovation ETF</b>(BATS:ARKX) to sell the shares of Nvidia.

Don’t be surprised if the stock market keeps on rising.</p>\n<p>With June coming to an end, the S&amp;P 500 finished the first half of 2021 with a gain of 14.4%. Since 1998, only 2019’s 17.4% first-half surge has been larger.</p>\n<p>The market got a boost from Covid-19 vaccinations, which have helped the U.S. economy reopen, while trillions of dollars of fiscal stimulus have helped shore up demand. The gains continued even as concerns about inflation have increased speculation that the Federal Reserve would be forced to take steps to slow the economy.</p>\n<p>The combination of big gains and a more hawkish Fed have raised concerns that the market has become too complacent. If inflation continues to run hot for long enough, the central bank could be forced to act more quickly than the market expects—and&nbsp;cause stocks to tumble. Others worry that&nbsp;U.S. economic growth could slow faster than investors anticipate, causing a pullback in the process.</p>\n<p>For those who take that view, there is no better time to back away from the stock market than the present. History suggests otherwise.</p>\n<p>Since 1979, the S&amp;P 500 has gained 10% or more 14 times during the first half of the year, and the index has gone on to average a 6.3% gain over the second half of the year. What’s more, the index finished the second half of the year higher In 11 of those instances, or 79% of the time.</p>\n<p>Even the losses, when they occurred, weren’t all that bad. The S&amp;P 500 dropped 1.9% in the second half of 1983 and 3.5% during the last six months of 1986.</p>\n<p>The one exception was the last six months of 1987 when the index fell 19% during the second half of the year. That period included Black Monday, when the S&amp;P 500 dropped 20% in one day, still a record loss. While selling linked to so-called&nbsp;portfolio insurance&nbsp;was ultimately blamed for the size and speed of the loss, the second half of 1987 was&nbsp;a period of rising bond yields and high stock-market valuations, just like the first half of 2021.</p>\n<p>Still, the market has been acting like it wants to go higher, not lower.

Don’t be surprised if the stock market keeps on rising.\nWith June coming to an end, the S&P 500 finished the first half of 2021 with a gain of 14.4%. Since 1998, only 2019’s 17.4% first-half surge has been larger.\nThe market got a boost from Covid-19 vaccinations, which have helped the U.S. economy reopen, while trillions of dollars of fiscal stimulus have helped shore up demand. The gains continued even as concerns about inflation have increased speculation that the Federal Reserve would be forced to take steps to slow the economy.\nThe combination of big gains and a more hawkish Fed have raised concerns that the market has become too complacent. If inflation continues to run hot for long enough, the central bank could be forced to act more quickly than the market expects—and cause stocks to tumble. Others worry that U.S. economic growth could slow faster than investors anticipate, causing a pullback in the process.\nFor those who take that view, there is no better time to back away from the stock market than the present. History suggests otherwise.\nSince 1979, the S&P 500 has gained 10% or more 14 times during the first half of the year, and the index has gone on to average a 6.3% gain over the second half of the year. What’s more, the index finished the second half of the year higher In 11 of those instances, or 79% of the time.\nEven the losses, when they occurred, weren’t all that bad. The S&P 500 dropped 1.9% in the second half of 1983 and 3.5% during the last six months of 1986.\nThe one exception was the last six months of 1987 when the index fell 19% during the second half of the year. That period included Black Monday, when the S&P 500 dropped 20% in one day, still a record loss. While selling linked to so-called portfolio insurance was ultimately blamed for the size and speed of the loss, the second half of 1987 was a period of rising bond yields and high stock-market valuations, just like the first half of 2021.\nStill, the market has been acting like it wants to go higher, not lower. Pullbacks, a normal event in the midst of bull runs, have been mild in 2021, with the largest drops being less than 4%. “What the [S&P 500] has done throughout 2021 is pick itself up when and where it has needed to, maintaining an uptrend all along,” writes Frank Cappelleri, chief market technician at Instinet.\nThat 6.3% average second-half rise would push the S&P 500’s full-year gain to around 23%. That would represent a “textbook [market] recovery” from a recession, says Fundstrat’s Tom Lee.\nFor now, at least, the path of least resistance is higher.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":226,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":151619497,"gmtCreate":1625080119119,"gmtModify":1703735705427,"author":{"id":"3572467863337252","authorId":"3572467863337252","name":"Jaywei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beccce245458fd51f01db3fd362d9d9c","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"B nice","listText":"B nice","text":"B nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/151619497","repostId":"1110936297","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1110936297","pubTimestamp":1625036047,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1110936297?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-30 14:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple: Act Quickly Before The Run To $172","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1110936297","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Apple faces many external threats from regulators in the developed world.But I see these as largely priced in, although they remain a threat longer term.Apple is on the cusp of what should be a pre-earnings run and an imminent breakout of a bullish consolidation pattern.I have made it no secret that I’m a big fan of Apple.

The stock is very near the top of the triangle today, so what happens when/if it gets to $136/$137 will determine if the breakout is imminent or if we need at least one more test of the rising trend line that forms the bottom of the triangle. Whether that occurs or not doesn’t change my outlook; only the timing of it.</p>\n<p>Ascending triangles measure upside targets on breakouts equal to the top and bottom of the widest part of the triangle. In this case, the top of the triangle is $137 and the bottom of the triangle, which was set in September of last year, was $102. That means that this triangle pattern has a measured price target – after the breakout – of $35 higher ($137 minus $102), and with the breakout point being $137 or so, that implies we canexpect Apple to hit $172, give or take. Now, that won’t happen immediately, of course, but that’s the kind of opportunity at hand here.</p>\n<p>What do you need to look for on a breakout? First, price action needs to decisively clear the breakout level of $137 and close above it. In addition, you want to see rising volume on the breakout – I’ve annotated declining volume in the triangle period, which is normal behavior – and you want to see rising momentum, we’ve got rising momentum today. So I’d expect a breakout to continue that, but these are the things you want to see on a breakout to ensure it has staying power.</p>\n<p>Finally, you’ll notice that I’ve added blue circles on the chart, and those represent the start of the ~4-week period prior to an earnings release. Apple has been<i>very</i>reliable in the past couple of years in terms of rallying into an earnings report, and I have no reason to think that will change. The gains are fairly large in most cases, with about half of them being in the double-digits, so this is a real catalyst for higher prices.</p>\n<p>The important thing to note is that we are about four weeks from the third quarter report, which typically takes place at the end of July. We are also at the top of the ascending triangle, which means that even a small pre-earnings run will likely result in a breakout, and that’s why I think the breakout is very near.</p>\n<p>To be clear, I’m reiterating my prior thesis that an ascending triangle breakout is coming; I just think we have a very clear catalyst now to make it sooner than later. I see the stock rallying into the earnings report, and if history is a guide, Apple will destroy expectations once again. In short, all is going to plan.</p>\n<p>The risk is that if Apple does break out of the triangle and earnings aren’t very good, the pattern could fail. That would negate my $172 price target, and we’d have to reassess. For now, the odds of that look low, and I’m still full steam ahead on the breakout coming pre-earnings.</p>\n<p><b>Why does Apple rally pre-earnings?</b></p>\n<p>To put it succinctly, Apple rallies pre-earnings because no matter how much analysts raise their targets going into the reports, Apple finds a way to beat them.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6233212bc10ea38f20e75d2ed0ab603e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"284\"><span>Source:Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>This is three years’ worth of data showing how Apple beats expectations, and by enormous margins in some cases. Apple is one of the largest and most-followed companies that has ever existed. So if any company should have an analyst community that knows how it will perform each quarter, it would be this one. However, its dominance in hardware and services revenue has proven too much for analysts over time to keep up with.</p>\n<p>Keep in mind a risk here is that if Apple does finally miss expectations, I have to imagine the stock will react extremely poorly. Thus, there is certainly risk in owning Apple through the earnings report, as with any other stock. But the company’s history of smashing expectations – particularly in the past year – means the odds of this are fairly low. Still, something to keep in mind from a risk perspective.</p>\n<p>In terms of a catalyst for rallying into the July report, Apple continues to see analysts scramble to keep up with its rising fortunes.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ebf56ca48e2364fd7314f9140bc3ab5c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"286\"><span>Source:Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>The sharp upward revisions that began last summer continue unabated, and Apple’s earnings trajectory remains very much intact. I detailed this in my last piece so I’m simply saying that nothing has changed on this front, and that’s a very good thing.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d2bd9aaadd1cc3a29d7b8e787296ab4b\" tg-width=\"454\" tg-height=\"110\"><span>Source:Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>I think you’ll struggle to find a company with a better earnings revision schedule, as the past three months have seen 36 EPS revisions, and<i>100%</i>of them were upward. That shows just how strong Apple’s earnings trajectory is, as analysts scramble to meet Apple’s outstanding performances. I love stocks with earnings revision charts like Apple’s because the bar is always rising, which means that the stock will follow suit.</p>\n<p><b>Not all is well</b></p>\n<p>Apple, to be fair, does face a huge amount of risks that are outside of its control. Many of them cropped up since my last report on Apple and so I want to balance my bullish position on the stock with some sobering reality to ensure readers are well-equipped to make an informed decision about whether or not Apple is right for their portfolio.</p>\n<p>First, the FTC made the headlines a few weeks ago by appointing&nbsp;Lina Khan, an outspoken and noted big tech critic, who feels certain companies have too much control over the behaviors of consumers. This is a noteworthy development because if the FTC wants to go after big tech, Apple is a very logical early target. I don’t see it impacting iPhone or other hardware sales but services revenue? Absolutely. This is a longer-term threat since antitrust rules take time to create, but Apple shareholders need to take this threat seriously.</p>\n<p>The&nbsp;White Houseis apparently on board with this line of thinking, and the&nbsp;House&nbsp;is actually considering legislation that would undertake to reign in the perceived control of big tech companies, including Apple's tendency to pre-install its own apps on Apple devices. Would that stop consumers from just going to the app store and downloading them? No, but it certainly isn't a<i>positive</i>&nbsp;catalyst.</p>\n<p>Apple is facing a similar threat in&nbsp;Germany&nbsp;and other places in the developed world, so it isn’t just a problem at home. Germany is assessing if Apple has “competition violations” to be addressed. So the issue is the same one being faced in the US, and the only two outcomes are neutral (nothing happens), or negative (antitrust action is taken).</p>\n<p>Apple is also still very much beholden to the never-ending trade war between&nbsp;China&nbsp;and the US, as the two countries constantly jockey for position with the highest stakes the world has ever seen in such a scuffle. Apple’s production process is potentially at risk, depending upon how ugly things get, adding some geopolitical risk to the stock's outlook. This goes both ways, and China employs a lot of people and generates a lot of cash from Apple’s production. So I’m not sure it is as one-sided as it seems, but the geopolitical risk is never a good thing, and Apple’s manufacturing needs set it up for such a risk.</p>\n<p><b>Final thoughts</b></p>\n<p>I’ve enumerated a variety of potential issues Apple is facing, and I’ll be clear and say none of these are good things. The best possible outcome is that nothing changes, and the worst is that all come to fruition and Apple faces manufacturing challenges, as well as antitrust actions. These are real threats, but I also think they're already priced in.</p>\n<p>The threat of antitrust legislation or a trade war with China isn’t new by any stretch of the imagination and is not dissimilar to the threats that other tech giants like Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG), or Facebook (FB) face every day. This is par for the course if you’re a dominant tech company, and Apple certainly is. I don’t want to ignore these potential negative catalysts, but I don’t want to overreact, either.</p>\n<p>Keep in mind also that Apple continues to move higher over time despite this bad news, which is what winning stocks do. The fact that it is shrugging off these huge potential negative catalysts reinforces the bullish stance I already had on the stock.</p>\n<p>I detailed my bullishness on the company’s revenue generation, margins, buybacks, valuation, and more in the&nbsp;prior piece, and nothing has changed there. So I don’t want to waste your time going through it again. However, my fundamental stance on Apple hasn’t changed in the past six weeks, and if anything, continued upward revisions in EPS estimates have strengthened the bull case.</p>\n<p>The important thing is that shareholders must be aware of external threats, but also that we are seeing Apple get to the end of its very bullish consolidation pattern at the same time that it typically begins a pre-earnings run higher.</p>\n<p>The bottom line is that I think Apple’s breakout is imminent, and that the pattern measures to $172 or so. This won’t happen overnight, but if you were looking to buy Apple, act quickly.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Apple: Act Quickly Before The Run To $172</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\">\nApple: Act Quickly Before The Run To $172\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-30 14:54 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437069-apple-act-quickly-before-the-run-to-172><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nApple faces many external threats from regulators in the developed world.\nBut I see these as largely priced in, although they remain a threat longer term.\nApple is on the cusp of what should ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437069-apple-act-quickly-before-the-run-to-172\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437069-apple-act-quickly-before-the-run-to-172","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1110936297","content_text":"Summary\n\nApple faces many external threats from regulators in the developed world.\nBut I see these as largely priced in, although they remain a threat longer term.\nApple is on the cusp of what should be a pre-earnings run and an imminent breakout of a bullish consolidation pattern.\n\nfMing Yeung/Getty Images News\nI have made it no secret that I’m a big fan of Apple(AAPL).

In addition, you want to see rising volume on the breakout – I’ve annotated declining volume in the triangle period, which is normal behavior – and you want to see rising momentum, we’ve got rising momentum today. So I’d expect a breakout to continue that, but these are the things you want to see on a breakout to ensure it has staying power.\nFinally, you’ll notice that I’ve added blue circles on the chart, and those represent the start of the ~4-week period prior to an earnings release. Apple has beenveryreliable in the past couple of years in terms of rallying into an earnings report, and I have no reason to think that will change. The gains are fairly large in most cases, with about half of them being in the double-digits, so this is a real catalyst for higher prices.\nThe important thing to note is that we are about four weeks from the third quarter report, which typically takes place at the end of July. We are also at the top of the ascending triangle, which means that even a small pre-earnings run will likely result in a breakout, and that’s why I think the breakout is very near.\nTo be clear, I’m reiterating my prior thesis that an ascending triangle breakout is coming; I just think we have a very clear catalyst now to make it sooner than later. I see the stock rallying into the earnings report, and if history is a guide, Apple will destroy expectations once again. In short, all is going to plan.\nThe risk is that if Apple does break out of the triangle and earnings aren’t very good, the pattern could fail. That would negate my $172 price target, and we’d have to reassess. For now, the odds of that look low, and I’m still full steam ahead on the breakout coming pre-earnings.\nWhy does Apple rally pre-earnings?\nTo put it succinctly, Apple rallies pre-earnings because no matter how much analysts raise their targets going into the reports, Apple finds a way to beat them.\nSource:Seeking Alpha\nThis is three years’ worth of data showing how Apple beats expectations, and by enormous margins in some cases. Apple is one of the largest and most-followed companies that has ever existed. So if any company should have an analyst community that knows how it will perform each quarter, it would be this one. However, its dominance in hardware and services revenue has proven too much for analysts over time to keep up with.\nKeep in mind a risk here is that if Apple does finally miss expectations, I have to imagine the stock will react extremely poorly. Thus, there is certainly risk in owning Apple through the earnings report, as with any other stock. But the company’s history of smashing expectations – particularly in the past year – means the odds of this are fairly low. Still, something to keep in mind from a risk perspective.\nIn terms of a catalyst for rallying into the July report, Apple continues to see analysts scramble to keep up with its rising fortunes.\nSource:Seeking Alpha\nThe sharp upward revisions that began last summer continue unabated, and Apple’s earnings trajectory remains very much intact. I detailed this in my last piece so I’m simply saying that nothing has changed on this front, and that’s a very good thing.\nSource:Seeking Alpha\nI think you’ll struggle to find a company with a better earnings revision schedule, as the past three months have seen 36 EPS revisions, and100%of them were upward. That shows just how strong Apple’s earnings trajectory is, as analysts scramble to meet Apple’s outstanding performances. I love stocks with earnings revision charts like Apple’s because the bar is always rising, which means that the stock will follow suit.\nNot all is well\nApple, to be fair, does face a huge amount of risks that are outside of its control. Many of them cropped up since my last report on Apple and so I want to balance my bullish position on the stock with some sobering reality to ensure readers are well-equipped to make an informed decision about whether or not Apple is right for their portfolio.\nFirst, the FTC made the headlines a few weeks ago by appointing Lina Khan, an outspoken and noted big tech critic, who feels certain companies have too much control over the behaviors of consumers. This is a noteworthy development because if the FTC wants to go after big tech, Apple is a very logical early target. I don’t see it impacting iPhone or other hardware sales but services revenue? Absolutely. This is a longer-term threat since antitrust rules take time to create, but Apple shareholders need to take this threat seriously.\nThe White Houseis apparently on board with this line of thinking, and the House is actually considering legislation that would undertake to reign in the perceived control of big tech companies, including Apple's tendency to pre-install its own apps on Apple devices. Would that stop consumers from just going to the app store and downloading them? No, but it certainly isn't apositive catalyst.\nApple is facing a similar threat in Germany and other places in the developed world, so it isn’t just a problem at home. Germany is assessing if Apple has “competition violations” to be addressed. So the issue is the same one being faced in the US, and the only two outcomes are neutral (nothing happens), or negative (antitrust action is taken).\nApple is also still very much beholden to the never-ending trade war between China and the US, as the two countries constantly jockey for position with the highest stakes the world has ever seen in such a scuffle. Apple’s production process is potentially at risk, depending upon how ugly things get, adding some geopolitical risk to the stock's outlook. This goes both ways, and China employs a lot of people and generates a lot of cash from Apple’s production. So I’m not sure it is as one-sided as it seems, but the geopolitical risk is never a good thing, and Apple’s manufacturing needs set it up for such a risk.\nFinal thoughts\nI’ve enumerated a variety of potential issues Apple is facing, and I’ll be clear and say none of these are good things. The best possible outcome is that nothing changes, and the worst is that all come to fruition and Apple faces manufacturing challenges, as well as antitrust actions. These are real threats, but I also think they're already priced in.\nThe threat of antitrust legislation or a trade war with China isn’t new by any stretch of the imagination and is not dissimilar to the threats that other tech giants like Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG), or Facebook (FB) face every day. This is par for the course if you’re a dominant tech company, and Apple certainly is. I don’t want to ignore these potential negative catalysts, but I don’t want to overreact, either.\nKeep in mind also that Apple continues to move higher over time despite this bad news, which is what winning stocks do. The fact that it is shrugging off these huge potential negative catalysts reinforces the bullish stance I already had on the stock.\nI detailed my bullishness on the company’s revenue generation, margins, buybacks, valuation, and more in the prior piece, and nothing has changed there. So I don’t want to waste your time going through it again. However, my fundamental stance on Apple hasn’t changed in the past six weeks, and if anything, continued upward revisions in EPS estimates have strengthened the bull case.\nThe important thing is that shareholders must be aware of external threats, but also that we are seeing Apple get to the end of its very bullish consolidation pattern at the same time that it typically begins a pre-earnings run higher.\nThe bottom line is that I think Apple’s breakout is imminent, and that the pattern measures to $172 or so. This won’t happen overnight, but if you were looking to buy Apple, act quickly.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":268,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":153409707,"gmtCreate":1625040250509,"gmtModify":1703850691664,"author":{"id":"3572467863337252","authorId":"3572467863337252","name":"Jaywei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beccce245458fd51f01db3fd362d9d9c","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BABA\">$Alibaba(BABA)$</a>Let’s go","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BABA\">$Alibaba(BABA)$</a>Let’s go","text":"$Alibaba(BABA)$Let’s go","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dccfb5223127cfa0edd567ec738accdd","width":"1170","height":"2026"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/153409707","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":96,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":159523403,"gmtCreate":1624974838502,"gmtModify":1703849215246,"author":{"id":"3572467863337252","authorId":"3572467863337252","name":"Jaywei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beccce245458fd51f01db3fd362d9d9c","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NIO\">$NIO Inc.(NIO)$</a>$54 NIO here we come","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NIO\">$NIO Inc.(NIO)$</a>$54 NIO here we come","text":"$NIO Inc.(NIO)$$54 NIO here we come","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ef58141fc855ee46df65d14a113b2db7","width":"1170","height":"2026"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":1,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/159523403","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":412,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":150281480,"gmtCreate":1624907422440,"gmtModify":1703847630374,"author":{"id":"3572467863337252","authorId":"3572467863337252","name":"Jaywei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beccce245458fd51f01db3fd362d9d9c","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice read","listText":"Nice read","text":"Nice read","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/150281480","repostId":"2146002845","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2146002845","pubTimestamp":1624866683,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2146002845?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-28 15:51","market":"us","language":"en","title":"These Are 5 of the Fastest-Growing Large-Cap Stocks on the Planet","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2146002845","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Sales for these companies should skyrocket between 400% and 1,118% over the next four years.","content":"<p>For more than a decade, growth stocks have been all the rage on Wall Street.

Over the next four years investors will struggle to find a green-energy stock expanding quicker than hydrogen fuel-cell solutions provider <b>Plug Power</b> (NASDAQ:PLUG).

That's a cool 404% increase, if it comes to fruition.</p>\n<p>For the time being, climate change is Plug Power's best friend. Joe Biden winning the presidency last year, coupled with Democrats regaining control of the Senate by the narrowest of margins, gives the current administration an opportunity to pass a clean energy bill. While it's unclear what a final infrastructure bill might look like, it's almost a certainty that clean vehicle solutions, such as those developed by Plug Power, will benefit.</p>\n<p>Additionally, the company secured two joint ventures just days apart in January. First, SK Group took a 10% equity stake in the company, with the duo aiming to introduce hydrogen fuel-cell-powered vehicles and hydrogen refilling stations in South Korea. A few days later, Plug landed a deal with French automaker <b>Renault</b> that'll see the two go after Europe's light commercial vehicle market. Both joint ventures should result in Plug Power's orders catapulting higher.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8db519446ea812ab6b8023df3f60f0c3\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a>: Implied four-year sales growth of 559%</h2>\n<p>The cloud computing space is home to dozens of fast-growing companies, none of which appear to be increasing its sales faster than cloud data-warehousing company <b>Snowflake</b> (NYSE:SNOW). In fiscal 2021, Snowflake's sales grew by 124% to $592 million. But based on Wall Street's consensus for fiscal 2025, it's on track to generate $3.9 billion in revenue. This would represent a four-year increase of 559%.</p>\n<p>What makes Snowflake so special is the company's competitive advantages. For example, it's shunned subscriptions in favor of a pay-as-you-go operating model. Customers pay for the amount of data they store and the number of Snowflake Compute Credits used. This allows the company's clients to keep better tabs on their expenses.</p>\n<p>Also, since Snowflake's solutions are built atop the most popular cloud infrastructure platforms, customers can share data seamlessly, even across competing services.</p>\n<p>Though it's the fastest-growing cloud stock, Snowflake is also one of the priciest. It's currently valued at 67 times projected sales for fiscal 2022 and roughly 19 times estimated sales four years from now. But if the company makes good on its fiscal 2029 outlook of $10 billion in product sales, paying this premium may be well worth it.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/96d1687ba107475c062f0147fa401ff2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"375\"><span>The NIO EC6 EV crossover SUV. Image source: NIO.</span></p>\n<h2>NIO: Implied four-year sales growth of 561%</h2>\n<p>Another absolute beast of a growth trend this decade is the rise of electric vehicles (EV). Though <b>Tesla</b>&nbsp;and the U.S. EV market tend to get a lot of attention, the biggest opportunity is actually China. That's why <b>NIO</b> (NYSE:NIO) finds itself as one of the fastest-growing large-cap stocks on the planet. If all goes well, full-year sales can catapult from about $2.5 billion in 2020 to $16.8 billion in 2024. That's a sales increase of approximately 561%.</p>\n<p>Despite a global chip shortage, NIO has shown Wall Street that it can effectively scale its production. After delivering 20,060 vehicles in the first quarter, the company is on pace to deliver between 21,000 and 22,000 EVs in the second quarter. Once global chip supply issues are resolved, NIO will look to boost its annual delivery capacity to around 150,000 EVs.</p>\n<p>For NIO, innovation is extremely important. It's been introducing one new vehicle each year, with the sportier EC6 crossover SUV hitting showrooms last summer. It's quickly become a hit with EV buyers.</p>\n<p>Additionally, NIO introduced a battery-as-a-service program. For a monthly fee, this subscription service allows buyers to replace or upgrade their vehicle's batteries. It also reduces the initial purchase price of the vehicle. Though NIO is giving up near-term margin by reducing the purchase price of its EVs, it's keeping buyers loyal and generating very high margin residual service revenue.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/849b25e21ebbcd8fae1e28f0543300db\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Novavax: Implied four-year sales growth of 1,118%</h2>\n<p>The crème de la crème of fast-growing large-cap companies is biotech stock <b>Novavax</b> (NASDAQ:NVAX). Following a pandemic-ravaged year where it brought in $476 million in sales, Wall Street is looking for Novavax to generate $5.8 billion in annual revenue in 2024. That's your run-of-the-mill sales increase of 1,118% over the coming four years.</p>\n<p>As you may have rightly guessed, Novavax's core catalyst is a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. The company's candidate, NVX-CoV2373 (these scientific names just roll off the tongue), demonstrated nearly 90% efficacy in a large U.K. study, and recently reported a 90.4% trial efficacy in the United States.&nbsp; With efficacy rates this high, Novavax could potentially displace <b>Johnson &amp; Johnson</b>'s single-dose vaccine, which offered an efficacy of 72%.</p>\n<p>Though you'd think this was a cut-and-dried success story, Novavax has delayed its emergency-use authorization filings in Europe, the U.S., and U.K. until the third quarter, and it likely won't be at full production capacity till the fourth quarter. This waiting game has caused wild vacillations in Novavax's share price of late.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Novavax has a good chance of being one of the primary COVID-19 vaccines used in emerging markets, and it could become a key player if booster shots become necessary.</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>These Are 5 of the Fastest-Growing Large-Cap Stocks on the Planet</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nThese Are 5 of the Fastest-Growing Large-Cap Stocks on the Planet\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-28 15:51 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/27/5-of-fastest-growing-large-cap-stocks-on-planet/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>For more than a decade, growth stocks have been all the rage on Wall Street.

While it's unclear what a final infrastructure bill might look like, it's almost a certainty that clean vehicle solutions, such as those developed by Plug Power, will benefit.\nAdditionally, the company secured two joint ventures just days apart in January. First, SK Group took a 10% equity stake in the company, with the duo aiming to introduce hydrogen fuel-cell-powered vehicles and hydrogen refilling stations in South Korea. A few days later, Plug landed a deal with French automaker Renault that'll see the two go after Europe's light commercial vehicle market. Both joint ventures should result in Plug Power's orders catapulting higher.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nSnowflake: Implied four-year sales growth of 559%\nThe cloud computing space is home to dozens of fast-growing companies, none of which appear to be increasing its sales faster than cloud data-warehousing company Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW). In fiscal 2021, Snowflake's sales grew by 124% to $592 million. But based on Wall Street's consensus for fiscal 2025, it's on track to generate $3.9 billion in revenue. This would represent a four-year increase of 559%.\nWhat makes Snowflake so special is the company's competitive advantages. For example, it's shunned subscriptions in favor of a pay-as-you-go operating model. Customers pay for the amount of data they store and the number of Snowflake Compute Credits used. This allows the company's clients to keep better tabs on their expenses.\nAlso, since Snowflake's solutions are built atop the most popular cloud infrastructure platforms, customers can share data seamlessly, even across competing services.\nThough it's the fastest-growing cloud stock, Snowflake is also one of the priciest. It's currently valued at 67 times projected sales for fiscal 2022 and roughly 19 times estimated sales four years from now. But if the company makes good on its fiscal 2029 outlook of $10 billion in product sales, paying this premium may be well worth it.\nThe NIO EC6 EV crossover SUV. Image source: NIO.\nNIO: Implied four-year sales growth of 561%\nAnother absolute beast of a growth trend this decade is the rise of electric vehicles (EV). Though Tesla and the U.S. EV market tend to get a lot of attention, the biggest opportunity is actually China. That's why NIO (NYSE:NIO) finds itself as one of the fastest-growing large-cap stocks on the planet. If all goes well, full-year sales can catapult from about $2.5 billion in 2020 to $16.8 billion in 2024. That's a sales increase of approximately 561%.\nDespite a global chip shortage, NIO has shown Wall Street that it can effectively scale its production. After delivering 20,060 vehicles in the first quarter, the company is on pace to deliver between 21,000 and 22,000 EVs in the second quarter. Once global chip supply issues are resolved, NIO will look to boost its annual delivery capacity to around 150,000 EVs.\nFor NIO, innovation is extremely important. It's been introducing one new vehicle each year, with the sportier EC6 crossover SUV hitting showrooms last summer. It's quickly become a hit with EV buyers.\nAdditionally, NIO introduced a battery-as-a-service program. For a monthly fee, this subscription service allows buyers to replace or upgrade their vehicle's batteries. It also reduces the initial purchase price of the vehicle. Though NIO is giving up near-term margin by reducing the purchase price of its EVs, it's keeping buyers loyal and generating very high margin residual service revenue.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nNovavax: Implied four-year sales growth of 1,118%\nThe crème de la crème of fast-growing large-cap companies is biotech stock Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX). Following a pandemic-ravaged year where it brought in $476 million in sales, Wall Street is looking for Novavax to generate $5.8 billion in annual revenue in 2024. That's your run-of-the-mill sales increase of 1,118% over the coming four years.\nAs you may have rightly guessed, Novavax's core catalyst is a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. The company's candidate, NVX-CoV2373 (these scientific names just roll off the tongue), demonstrated nearly 90% efficacy in a large U.K. study, and recently reported a 90.4% trial efficacy in the United States.  With efficacy rates this high, Novavax could potentially displace Johnson & Johnson's single-dose vaccine, which offered an efficacy of 72%.\nThough you'd think this was a cut-and-dried success story, Novavax has delayed its emergency-use authorization filings in Europe, the U.S., and U.K. until the third quarter, and it likely won't be at full production capacity till the fourth quarter. This waiting game has caused wild vacillations in Novavax's share price of late.\nNevertheless, Novavax has a good chance of being one of the primary COVID-19 vaccines used in emerging markets, and it could become a key player if booster shots become necessary.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":58,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":124213166,"gmtCreate":1624766515755,"gmtModify":1703844771038,"author":{"id":"3572467863337252","authorId":"3572467863337252","name":"Jaywei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beccce245458fd51f01db3fd362d9d9c","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BABA\">$Alibaba(BABA)$</a>Pump it up","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BABA\">$Alibaba(BABA)$</a>Pump it up","text":"$Alibaba(BABA)$Pump it up","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7aa9f4ba78af35a45dda948ad20596fd","width":"1170","height":"2026"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/124213166","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":121,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":351156407,"gmtCreate":1616578073609,"gmtModify":1704795891413,"author":{"id":"3572467863337252","authorId":"3572467863337252","name":"Jaywei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beccce245458fd51f01db3fd362d9d9c","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"GME to the moon ?&nbsp;","listText":"GME to the moon ?&nbsp;","text":"GME to the moon ?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/351156407","repostId":"1187858811","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1187858811","pubTimestamp":1616577758,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1187858811?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-24 17:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GameStop Stock Had a Bad Day.

Take some profits if you must, but hold for the l","content":"<p>APHA stock has come a long way over the past year. Take some profits if you must, but hold for the long haul</p>\n<p><b>Aphria</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>APHA</u></b>) and&nbsp;<b>Tilray</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TLRY</u></b>) shareholders are scheduled to vote on their tentative merger on April 16, 2021. It’s hard to imagine shareholders on either side rejecting the consolidation play. It’s the right move for APHA stock.</p>\n<p>In the meantime, I continue to be obsessed with cannabis-infused drinks and edibles. And&nbsp;I’ve said this many times&nbsp;in the past; they are the real prize in the global legalization of recreational-use cannabis.</p>\n<p>Apparently, Aphria CEO Irwin Simon agrees, which is great news if you are a buy-and-hold cannabis investor.</p>\n<p><b>Irwin’s Take on Cannabis-Infused Drinks</b></p>\n<p>Aphria completed its $300 million acquisition of Atlanta-based craft brewer&nbsp;<b>Sweetwater Brewing</b>&nbsp;at the end of November. According to the Brewers Association, Sweetwater is the&nbsp;14th-largest craft brewer&nbsp;in the U.S. by volume.</p>\n<p>Sweetwater shareholders got&nbsp;$250 million in cash&nbsp;and $50 million in Aphria stock. Based on a Nov. 30 closing price of $8.38, Sweetwater shareholders sit on approximately $74 million in unrealized gains in less than four months. On an annualized basis, that’s a 444% return [$74 million divided by $50 million divided by 4 months multiplied by 12 months].</p>\n<p>Sweetwater management should have asked for more of the deal in stock. Seriously, though, Simon’s got some big plans for the craft beer company. I’d continue to hold the stock for the long haul.</p>\n<p>Simon spoke to&nbsp;<i>THCNet</i>&nbsp;in November when APHA announced the deal. He said at the time that he believes&nbsp;cannabis-infused drinks will take the U.S. by storm&nbsp;once the feds have legalized recreational use.</p>\n<p>“I am betting that it will be as big as White Claw and Truly,” Simon told<i>THCNet.</i></p>\n<p>That’s pretty darn big.</p>\n<p><b>Proving Naysayers Wrong</b></p>\n<p>In the past 52 weeks, White Claw and Truly, the best-selling and second-best-selling hard seltzers, had&nbsp;$3.2 billion&nbsp;in combined sales. If Aphria/Tilray can get just a tenth of that — Aphria/Tilray combined will have&nbsp;874 million CAD&nbsp;($703 million) in sales — that would boost its overall sales by almost 50%.</p>\n<p>The<i>THCNet</i>&nbsp;article, playing Devil’s advocate, points out that cannabis-infused drinks haven’t made much penetration in mature markets like Colorado and Oregon.

Take some profits if you must, but hold for the long haul\nAphria(NASDAQ:APHA) and Tilray(NASDAQ:TLRY) shareholders are scheduled to vote on their tentative merger on April 16, 2021. It’s hard to imagine shareholders on either side rejecting the consolidation play. It’s the right move for APHA stock.\nIn the meantime, I continue to be obsessed with cannabis-infused drinks and edibles. And I’ve said this many times in the past; they are the real prize in the global legalization of recreational-use cannabis.\nApparently, Aphria CEO Irwin Simon agrees, which is great news if you are a buy-and-hold cannabis investor.\nIrwin’s Take on Cannabis-Infused Drinks\nAphria completed its $300 million acquisition of Atlanta-based craft brewer Sweetwater Brewing at the end of November. According to the Brewers Association, Sweetwater is the 14th-largest craft brewer in the U.S. by volume.\nSweetwater shareholders got $250 million in cash and $50 million in Aphria stock. Based on a Nov. 30 closing price of $8.38, Sweetwater shareholders sit on approximately $74 million in unrealized gains in less than four months. On an annualized basis, that’s a 444% return [$74 million divided by $50 million divided by 4 months multiplied by 12 months].\nSweetwater management should have asked for more of the deal in stock. Seriously, though, Simon’s got some big plans for the craft beer company. I’d continue to hold the stock for the long haul.\nSimon spoke to THCNet in November when APHA announced the deal. He said at the time that he believes cannabis-infused drinks will take the U.S. by storm once the feds have legalized recreational use.\n“I am betting that it will be as big as White Claw and Truly,” Simon toldTHCNet.\nThat’s pretty darn big.\nProving Naysayers Wrong\nIn the past 52 weeks, White Claw and Truly, the best-selling and second-best-selling hard seltzers, had $3.2 billion in combined sales. If Aphria/Tilray can get just a tenth of that — Aphria/Tilray combined will have 874 million CAD ($703 million) in sales — that would boost its overall sales by almost 50%.\nTheTHCNet article, playing Devil’s advocate, points out that cannabis-infused drinks haven’t made much penetration in mature markets like Colorado and Oregon. While that might be true, the reality is that until the big beverage distributors can freely move product in most or all of the 50 states, it’s not going to grow as fast as dried flower or even edibles.\nHowever, as Simon points out, a cannabis-infused drink generally will have fewer calories than beer and won’t give you a hangover.\nSimon also suggested that Aphria would bring Sweetwater’s 420 brand to Canada, making THC-infused drinks and edibles available for those in the Great White North. My experience here in Nova Scotia is that THC-infused drinks are gaining popularity in Nova Scotia Liquor Commission stores.\nThe naysayers have it wrong.\nThe Bottom Line on APHA Stock\nAccording to Euromonitor, the adult-use cannabis market in the U.S. is expected to grow to $54 billion by 2025,with cannabis-infused beverages accounting for a significant chunk of this revenue.\nCanopy Growth (NASDAQ:CGC) stumbled out of the gate but proceeded to make big strides through 2020. By September, Canopy had captured a large share of the Canadian ready-to-drink cannabis beverages market, selling more than 1.5 million cans of its THC-infused drinks.\n“The fact that in such a short amount of time, we’ve actually been able to capture nearly half of that market in Canada, which is a substantially smaller market than the U.S., is very exciting for us and certainly we are full steam ahead on our beverage portfolio. I’m very encouraged by the results to date,” Canopy’s Global Head of BeveragesAndrew Rapsey told FoodDivein September.\nCanopy Growth was able to do this in the middle of a pandemic. It speaks volumes about the progress CEO David Klein has made focusing its business. It also suggests the naysayers are seriously underestimating future consumer demand for cannabis-infused products.\nDespite Canopy Growth’s share of the Canadian market, I believe there is plenty of room for Aphria/Tilray to thrive in this segment of the adult-use cannabis market.\nFor this reason, I see APHA stock continuing to move higher as more news surfaces about its successes in the drinks and edibles market.\nIf you own its stock, I would stay the course. It’s an excellent long-term buy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":49,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3576576038240682","authorId":"3576576038240682","name":"ELee2723","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"content":"Sure, help me out too pls!","text":"Sure, help me out too pls!","html":"Sure, help me out too pls!"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":156652157,"gmtCreate":1625220591479,"gmtModify":1703738633762,"author":{"id":"3572467863337252","authorId":"3572467863337252","name":"Jaywei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beccce245458fd51f01db3fd362d9d9c","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/156652157","repostId":"1162611368","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":320,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":341142804,"gmtCreate":1617797866508,"gmtModify":1704703250975,"author":{"id":"3572467863337252","authorId":"3572467863337252","name":"Jaywei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beccce245458fd51f01db3fd362d9d9c","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MARA\">$Marathon Digital Holdings Inc(MARA)$</a>Moonlet’s go","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MARA\">$Marathon Digital Holdings Inc(MARA)$</a>Moonlet’s go","text":"$Marathon Digital Holdings Inc(MARA)$Moonlet’s go","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ca4f845a166d26339bda59c455d59d1","width":"1170","height":"2026"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/341142804","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":360,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":373381840,"gmtCreate":1618822040280,"gmtModify":1704715353342,"author":{"id":"3572467863337252","authorId":"3572467863337252","name":"Jaywei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beccce245458fd51f01db3fd362d9d9c","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MARA\">$Marathon Digital Holdings Inc(MARA)$</a>Added more positions","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MARA\">$Marathon Digital Holdings Inc(MARA)$</a>Added more positions","text":"$Marathon Digital Holdings Inc(MARA)$Added more positions","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/128ccf2ec4e0e332a6b1c902d23a443d","width":"1170","height":"2026"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/373381840","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":660,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":353538220,"gmtCreate":1616507128360,"gmtModify":1704795017151,"author":{"id":"3572467863337252","authorId":"3572467863337252","name":"Jaywei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beccce245458fd51f01db3fd362d9d9c","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment","listText":"Comment","text":"Comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/353538220","repostId":"1153771573","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1153771573","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":1616506331,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1153771573?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-23 21:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"S&P 500 falls slightly as bull market turns one year old, Nasdaq is flat.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1153771573","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"U.S. stocks dipped on Tuesday, one year after the bull market from the pandemic lows began as invest","content":"<p>U.S. stocks dipped on Tuesday, one year after the bull market from the pandemic lows began as investors took some profits in shares that will benefit most from the reopening of the economy.</p><p>The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.2%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 104points.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite traded near the flatline.Shares of Carnival and Norwegian cruise lines fell more than 1% each. American Airlines and United Airlines fell about 2% apiece. Brick-and-mortar retailer Gap also fell slightly.ViacomCBS, one of the top performers in the S&P 500 since the pandemic lows, lost 3% after saying it would offer more stock for sale. The shares are up more than 700% since last March.Tuesday marks the one-year anniversary of the market's bottom as the coronavirus pandemic sent stocks tumbling 30% at the fastest pace on record. Since the low on March 23, both the S&P 500 and Dow have advanced more than 75%. The Nasdaq Composite is up more than 90%, while the Russell 2000 has surged 126%.\"Things have come full circle now, as stocks have staged a furious rally, with new highs happening across the globe as the economy recovers at a record pace,\" noted Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at LPL Financial.\"This bull market is off to an amazing start, but it is important to remember it is still young. While a pick-up in volatility would be normal as this stage of a strong bull market, we think suitable investors may want to consider buying the dip. Vaccine distribution, fiscal and monetary stimulus, and a robust economic recovery all have our confidence high,\" he added.On the pandemic front, a U.S. health agency expressed concern Tuesday that AstraZeneca may have included outdated information in trial results of its Covid-19 vaccine.The U.S. is administering about 2.5 million Covid vaccine shots every day. However, the number of new cases is increasing in 21 states as highly infectious variants spread and governors relax restrictions on businesses.The Dow finished Monday’s session 103 points higher, for a gain of 0.32%. The S&P 500 broke a two-day losing streak and advanced 0.7%. The Nasdaq Composite was the relative outperformer, jumping 1.23% for its fifth positive session in six.The gains came as the 10-year Treasury yield retreated, after touching a 14-month high last week. The 10-year yield was falling again on Tuesday, but that failed to boost stock futures.“While the rise in yields has created volatility, we don’t expect it to derail the equity rally,” noted Mark Haefele, chief investment officer at UBS Global Wealth Management. “We believe rising yields reflect growth optimism and expectations for higher inflation.”On Tuesday Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will make their first joint appearance before the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services.

Its stock has gained 8% since the start of 2021.\nAnalyst Joshua Pokrzywinski downgraded the stock to underweight from equal weight, saying in a note to clients that the stock had limited upside due to a high valuation and execution risk as it continues the transition.\n“The company is undergoing a strategy change and potentially has an air pocket of outgrowth given limited net Onsite customer acquisitions over the past year,” the note said. “Over time, we believe the majority of these issues are manageable and believe the strategy is adapting to the business environment, but see potential for a tricky handoff at a point in time where valuation and comparisons are demanding.”\nThe change comes as Fastenal’s stock is trading at relatively high levels compared to its history.

The movie theater company announced Thursday it will sell 11.5 million shares, after the stock closed at an all-time high of $62.55 on Wednesday. AMC Entertainment dropped by as much as 30% on Thursday morning and trading was halted briefly for volatility.\nThe Reddit target said recent volatility and the level of AMC’s stock “reflect market and trading dynamics unrelated to our underlying business,” according to a filing it made with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Yet, investors keep piling into the heavily-shorted name.\nIn the past few weeks, Bank of America has been identifying the potential up-and-coming WallStreetBets targets by analyzing for clients how many mentions each stock gets on Reddit, among other things like short interest – that is, the number of shares that have been sold short by investors.\nThe Wall Street firm gave clients an updated list of the top small- to mid-cap stocks to watch during the return of the meme stock craze. The listed names have the most mentions on Reddit and short interest above the 5% average for the S&P 500 in the past week.\nTake a look at the list here.\nSource: Bank of America\nAMC remains No. 1 on the meme stocks list. WallStreetBets mentions have continued to rise for the third week for the movie theater stock with more than 5,000 comments since Wednesday, May 26. Mentions are at their highest levels since February, in the aftermath of GameStop’s epic short squeeze.\nBank of America told clients AMC’s more than 2,000% rally in 2021 could start losing steam.\n“AMC exhibits all three signposts that its rally could be nearing an end (acceleration in price and stock volume, increase in volatility, and a turn lower in the call-to put volume ratio),” Bank of America equity and quant strategist Jill Carey Hall told clients in a note.\nGameStop is still the second most-mentioned stock on Reddit. However, online comments continue to tick down. The stock had more than 3,600 mentions two weeks ago and about 2,670 comments in the past week.\nGameStop and AMC still have 21% of their float shares sold short, according to Bank of America, compared with an average of 5% short interest in a typical U.S. stock.\nNew members on the list are online real estate marketplace Zillow Group and retailer Bed Bath and Beyond.\nZillow got 50 mentions and Bed Bath and Beyond got 24 mentions on Reddit in the past week. Plus, Zillow has 13% and Bed Bath & beyond has 32% of their float shares sold short, according to Bank of America.\n“Among those with high short interest, Zillow (Z) made our top 20 screen for the first time in our dataset since August. And Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) – one of January’s ‘up-crash’ stocks, made the top 20 for the first time since early Feb. and shares have begun to surge again this week,” said Hall.\nShares of Bed Bath & Beyond are up about 25% this week.\nCommercial spaceflight company Virgin Galactic is the third most-mentioned name on Reddit. The stock has 24% of its float shares sold short, according to Bank of America.\nBeyond Meat, whichBank of America flagged as a new stock to watch a week ago, saw mentions continue to rise and now ranks number four. Shares of Beyond Meat are up about 12% this quarter.\nOther names like Athene Holding,Plug Power,Antero Midstream,Academy Sports and Outdoors and Clean Energy Fuels appeared on the list.\nAmerican Airlines,Gladstone Commercial and Natus Medical also earned spots on Bank of America’s Reddit stock list.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":62,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3572467863337252","authorId":"3572467863337252","name":"Jaywei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beccce245458fd51f01db3fd362d9d9c","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"content":"Comment and like","text":"Comment and like","html":"Comment and like"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":373315309,"gmtCreate":1618821557701,"gmtModify":1704715344277,"author":{"id":"3572467863337252","authorId":"3572467863337252","name":"Jaywei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beccce245458fd51f01db3fd362d9d9c","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"??","listText":"??","text":"??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/373315309","repostId":"2128525488","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":69,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3569322833605065","authorId":"3569322833605065","name":"AdrianJon","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cb6e8c453662dae51b3fcc1ef5dc31d2","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"content":"Can you replY to my comment ?","text":"Can you replY to my comment ?","html":"Can you replY to my comment ?"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":346295725,"gmtCreate":1618042060967,"gmtModify":1704706282796,"author":{"id":"3572467863337252","authorId":"3572467863337252","name":"Jaywei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beccce245458fd51f01db3fd362d9d9c","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Lol","listText":"Lol","text":"Lol","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/346295725","repostId":"1136941144","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1136941144","pubTimestamp":1617980884,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1136941144?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-09 23:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Biden Boosts Health, Education in $1.52 Trillion Budget Request","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1136941144","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"White House releases outline of budget request for 2022\nCongress likely to significantly reshape pla","content":"<ul>\n <li>White House releases outline of budget request for 2022</li>\n <li>Congress likely to significantly reshape plan in coming months</li>\n</ul>\n<p>President Joe Biden proposed major boosts in funding to combat inequality, disease and climate change as part of a $1.52 trillion budget request for 2022, part of his wider push to redefine the role of government in American lives.</p>\n<p>The administration’s outline, released by the White House Friday, kicks off a months-long process in which Congress is likely to significantly reshape the priorities, given stiff Republican opposition to many of the proposals.

The expiration of those caps, agreed to between the Obama administration and congressional Republicans, has been described by White House officials as an opportunity to pursue investments in areas like education, clean energy and public health.</p>\n<p>“Over the past decade, due in large measure to overly restrictive budget caps, the nation significantly under-invested in core public services, benefits and protections,” Young said.</p>\n<p>And though presidential budgets are routinely ignored on Capitol Hill, administration officials are hopeful the top-line numbers can offer an early guidepost for fellow Democrats who narrowly control both chambers of Congress.</p>\n<p>Priorities identified by the administration include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>A $3.9 billion increase in funding to battle the opioid epidemic</li>\n <li>$232 million in new money for Department of Justice gun violence prevention programs</li>\n <li>More than $1.2 billion in new spending for aid to Central America, and asylum adjudication amid a surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Biden is asking Congress to spend $14 billion more on climate programs across the U.S. government, with some $10 billion targeted to clean energy innovation. Much of the funding would go to Energy Department initiatives, including the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Climate, with support for high-risk ventures that offer the potential for changes in the way electricity is generated and used.</p>\n<p>He envisions a $1.4 billion increase for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, enabling greater work on climate observations and forecasting, and $600 million to buy electric vehicles and equipment for federal agencies such as the U.S. Postal Service, which is in theprocess of turning over its fleet. Another $800 million would go toward making public and assisted housing more energy efficient.</p>\n<p>Biden also calls for an additional $1.2 billion for the Internal Revenue Service to boost oversight of corporations and wealthy taxpayers and improve IRS customer service. It also calls for amulti-year allocation of $417 million to fund audits, which the White House hopes will bring in more revenues from businesses and wealthy taxpayers.</p>\n<p><b>Amtrak Money</b></p>\n<p>The Commerce Department would see a 28% increase --including a doubling of funds for manufacturing-related programs under the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Amtrak -- long favored by Biden -- receives a 35% increase.</p>\n<p>Biden’s budget proposal arrives months later than the usual timeline, and it lacks many of the details -- including plans for raising revenues, economic assumptions and a 10-year outlook -- that ordinarily accompany funding requests.</p>\n<p>Appropriations for 2022 need to be enacted before Oct. 1 to avert a government shutdown.</p>","source":"lsy1584095487587","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

That means getting at least 10 GOP members aboard.\nDefense Spending\nRepublican lawmakers are certain to take issue with many of Biden’s requests.\nThe outline has $753 billion for defense programs in the upcoming fiscal year, which represents just a 1.7% increase -- significantly below the 4% to 5% bump advocated by GOP leaders, and a break with recent tradition of keeping defense and non-defense increases on the same scale.\nThe White House argued that domestic investments have waned in recent years, and that Biden’s proposed boost on that side of the ledger would simply return the country’s non-defense spending to around the historic norm of 3.3% of gross domestic product.\nBiden includes no money for border-wall construction, canceling unspent funds from previous years, and has asked for $232 million more to study and investigate domestic terrorism in the wake of the insurrection by supporters of former President Donald Trump at the U.S. Capitol.\nNo Caps\nThe president’s 2022 request -- which involves just discretionary spending, and not entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security -- comes without the budget caps that have been in place for a decade. The expiration of those caps, agreed to between the Obama administration and congressional Republicans, has been described by White House officials as an opportunity to pursue investments in areas like education, clean energy and public health.\n“Over the past decade, due in large measure to overly restrictive budget caps, the nation significantly under-invested in core public services, benefits and protections,” Young said.\nAnd though presidential budgets are routinely ignored on Capitol Hill, administration officials are hopeful the top-line numbers can offer an early guidepost for fellow Democrats who narrowly control both chambers of Congress.\nPriorities identified by the administration include:\n\nA $3.9 billion increase in funding to battle the opioid epidemic\n$232 million in new money for Department of Justice gun violence prevention programs\nMore than $1.2 billion in new spending for aid to Central America, and asylum adjudication amid a surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.\n\nBiden is asking Congress to spend $14 billion more on climate programs across the U.S. government, with some $10 billion targeted to clean energy innovation. Much of the funding would go to Energy Department initiatives, including the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Climate, with support for high-risk ventures that offer the potential for changes in the way electricity is generated and used.\nHe envisions a $1.4 billion increase for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, enabling greater work on climate observations and forecasting, and $600 million to buy electric vehicles and equipment for federal agencies such as the U.S. Postal Service, which is in theprocess of turning over its fleet. Another $800 million would go toward making public and assisted housing more energy efficient.\nBiden also calls for an additional $1.2 billion for the Internal Revenue Service to boost oversight of corporations and wealthy taxpayers and improve IRS customer service. It also calls for amulti-year allocation of $417 million to fund audits, which the White House hopes will bring in more revenues from businesses and wealthy taxpayers.\nAmtrak Money\nThe Commerce Department would see a 28% increase --including a doubling of funds for manufacturing-related programs under the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Amtrak -- long favored by Biden -- receives a 35% increase.\nBiden’s budget proposal arrives months later than the usual timeline, and it lacks many of the details -- including plans for raising revenues, economic assumptions and a 10-year outlook -- that ordinarily accompany funding requests.\nAppropriations for 2022 need to be enacted before Oct. 1 to avert a government shutdown.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":116,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3554958921608603","authorId":"3554958921608603","name":"AS78","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d392d10a42f496e319268418e7602694","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"content":"Please like me back, thanks [Happy] [Grin]","text":"Please like me back, thanks [Happy] [Grin]","html":"Please like me back, thanks [Happy] [Grin]"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":327716289,"gmtCreate":1616124957641,"gmtModify":1704791266518,"author":{"id":"3572467863337252","authorId":"3572467863337252","name":"Jaywei","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beccce245458fd51f01db3fd362d9d9c","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wew","listText":"Wew","text":"Wew","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/327716289","repostId":"1121037863","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1121037863","pubTimestamp":1616124432,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1121037863?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-19 11:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Weibo Stock Jumped 5% Thursday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1121037863","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The Chinese microblogging specialist beat Wall Street's estimates across the board in the fourth qua","content":"<p>The Chinese microblogging specialist beat Wall Street's estimates across the board in the fourth quarter of 2020.</p>\n<p><b>What happened</b></p>\n<p>Chinese microblogging service&nbsp;<b>Weibo</b>(NASDAQ:WB)&nbsp;reported strong fourth-quarter results early Thursday morning, driving the stock as much as 4.7% higher. </p>\n<p><b>So what</b></p>\n<p>Weibo's fourth-quarter sales rose 9.7% year over year, landing at $513 million.

I could simply buy some shares and hope the stock rises. \nBut, if I want a more conservative play, I could sell a March 18, 2022-expiring put with a strike price of 450 and set aside the $45,000 in case I am assigned on the short put. \nThat 450 strike put generates around $2,680 in option premium in just under eight months. So, my $45,000 investment into Tesla is giving me a 10.14% annualized \"dividend.\" What's the catch? Well, much like owning Tesla shares, if the stock keeps dropping, I'm going to lose money in the short-term. \nIf Tesla stock is below 450 next March, then I will be forced to buy 100 shares at 450 each. \n10% Annualized Return If Put Expires Worthless\nBut, if TSLA stays above 450, then I achieve a 10.14% per annum return when the put expires worthless. \nCash secured puts are a bullish strategy but are considered slightly less bullish than owning Tesla stock because the potential gains are limited to the premium received. \nThe 450 strike put currently has a delta of 9, so selling this put gives you an exposure roughly equivalent to owning nine shares of Tesla stock, although this will change as the stock moves up and down. \nOne method that can help cut the risk is to turn it into a spread and buy a $250 strike put. This turns the trade into a bull put spread and reduces the capital at risk. \nTesla stock has a Composite Rating of 89, an EPS Rating of 73 and a Relative Strength Rating of 86. \nPlease remember that options are risky, and investors can lose 100% of their investment.  \nThis article is for education purposes only and not a trade recommendation.
