What is interesting here is that the stock market and the bond market have effectively stopped reacting to bad news.The earnings season has been a case in point both Amazon and Meta or the old Facebook were severely marked down on earnings disappointments as were Google and Microsoft during last week's critical week for tech earnings but the broad market index rallied, in particular the Dow Jones index was very strong.This suggests that the stock market is moving on from some of the concerns it had earlier this year, also with inflation still high there are signs that bond yields are coming in from the extreme high levels of the past couple of weeks - the 10 year bond is now close to the 4% level, a level that's still painful for stocks, but it has arguably hit a recent high.EarningsImportantly the dollar has softened and in many cases this year currency markets have prefigured stress across other asset classes so the case is building for a bear market rally into the end of the year. Seasonally also November December tend to be quite a strong periods for the stock market particularly in the case of bull markets - which however this is not.There's a number of other factors to consider this week we have the Fed meeting there were expectations of a Fed pivot or even a pause that they'll do a 50 basis point rise in interest rates and then stop and watch as the data comes in and a lot of cyclical data has been softening suggesting that the economy is beginning to slow and the Fed can expect this to have a downward pressure on consumer and service prices.In terms of market action the most likely factor is that volatility comes down for the time being and this will hurt a lot of people playing in the options market - a lot of people who've hedged and in turn it may have a technical upward pressure on the stock market and it would be no surprise for me to see the S&P index trade up to and maybe a little bit beyond the 4000 level.What does worry me looking out over the next six months is that in the context of a lot of geopolitical stress and growing damage to economy - not just in Europe where Germany is suffering but many emerging markets from Turkey to some across Asia Latin America the housing market in the US is that in the beginning of next year we go into a form of a credit crisis where huge levels of accumulated debt on country balance sheets company balance sheets and consumer balance sheets are troubled by the catalyst of high inflation and high interest rates and this in its own way produces a deeper economic and financial crisis and then we get some real volatility.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":243,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9986589022,"gmtCreate":1666984808566,"gmtModify":1676537844331,"author":{"id":"3572682061977022","authorId":"3572682061977022","name":"Weichao","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572682061977022","authorIdStr":"3572682061977022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9986589022","repostId":"1105945743","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1105945743","pubTimestamp":1666946955,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1105945743?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-10-28 16:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Amazon Stock: Q4 Guide Disappoints but Still a Long-Term Winner, Says 5-Star Analyst","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105945743","media":"TipRanks","summary":"Anything you can do, I can do… just as bad as you?

On Thursday, Amazon (AMZN) joined the list of fallen tech giants. After disastrous results for Alphabet, Microsoft and then Meta, the ecommerce leader took its turn to reflect the difficulties faced by the market leaders in the current economic climate.Shares are taking a hit in pre-market trading after the company said it expects a deceleration in sales growth for the holiday season, with waning demand amidst fears of a recession and the strong dollar all taking their toll. Meanwhile, Amazon also delivered a mixed Q3 report.First, the bright spot; posting a quarterly profit for the first time in 2022, Amazon delivered EPS of $0.28, coming in ahead of the Street’s forecast of $0.22.But there was a miss on the top-line as revenue increased by 14.7% year-over-year to $127.1 billion, falling shy of the consensus estimate by $370 million.Exhibiting the lowest growth rate since the start of 2014, AWS sales increased by 27.5% from the same period a year ago to $20.5 billion, below the analysts’ prediction of $21.2 billion.And then there was the guide; for Q4, Amazon’s operating income is expected in the region between $0 and $4.0 billion, with sales coming in between $140 billion to $148 billion. That was a big letdown as Wall Street had called for operating income of $5.05 billion and revenue of $155.09 billion.With the shares hammered and the stock on course to head back below the $1 trillion market cap threshold for the first time since April 2020, Truist’s Youssef Squali has some reassuring words for battered investors.“AMZN’s results were generally in line with expectations but the linearity of 3Q and the 4Q guide show that demand trends are slowing into October,” the 5-star analyst said. “In addition to macro headwinds, AMZN is also working to regain productivity losses from Covid, which are taking a bit longer to materialize and weighing on margins. That said, we view these challenges as temporary and see AMZN with the power of Prime, AWS leadership and rapidly growing ad business as best positioned to ride these multiple secular growth trends in FY23/beyond.”To this end, Squali maintains a Buy rating although the price target is lowered from $170 to $160. Still, the revised figure suggests shares will climb 44% higher over the coming months.Amazon remains a favorite on Wall Street. While one analyst stays on the sidelines, all 30 other reviews on file are positive, making the consensus view here a Strong Buy. Going by the $169.32 average target, the shares have room for 53% growth in the year ahead.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":343,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":108586422,"gmtCreate":1620041573466,"gmtModify":1704337735764,"author":{"id":"3572682061977022","authorId":"3572682061977022","name":"Weichao","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572682061977022","authorIdStr":"3572682061977022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/108586422","repostId":"1135819410","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1135819410","pubTimestamp":1619999342,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1135819410?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-03 07:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Uber, Pfizer, PayPal, T-Mobile, ViacomCBS, General Motors, and Other Stocks for Investors to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1135819410","media":"Barrons","summary":"It’s another packed week of earnings reports, with 130 S&P 500 companies on deck to release their fi","content":"<p>It’s another packed week of earnings reports, with 130 S&amp;P 500 companies on deck to release their first-quarter results.

The annual event took placein a hotel conference room in Los Angelesrather than in an arena in Omaha, Nebraska, due to the ongoing pandemic.</p><p>Buffett's long-time business partner Charlie Munger also returned onstage this year to co-lead the event, after sitting out last year because of the pandemic. And in a new move, Buffett and Munger were joined by Berkshire's Vice Chairmen Gregory Abel and Ajit Jain,in a signal of potential succession plans at the company.</p><p>Here were some of the highlights from the event.</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett said Berkshire Hathaway is seeing signs of rising price pressures during the COVID-19 recovery, corroborating many market participants' concerns about increasing inflationary pressures.</p><p>\"We're seeing substantial inflation. We're raising prices, people are raising prices to us. And it's being accepted,\" Buffett said. \"We really do a lot of housing. The costs are just up, up, up. Steel costs. You know, just every day they're going up.\"</p><p>\"It's an economy – really, it's red hot. And we weren't expecting it,\" he added.</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett said trading apps like Robinhoodhave contributed to the \"casino aspect\" of the stock market as of late, exploiting individuals' inclinations to gamble.</p><p>“It’s become a very significant part of the casino aspect, the casino group, that has joined into the stock market in the last year, year and a half,\" Buffett said of Robinhood. \"There’s nothing, you know, there’s nothing illegal about it, there’s nothing immoral. But I don’t think you’d build a society around people doing it.\"</p><p>\"I think the degree to which a very rich society can reward people who know how to take advantage, essentially, of the gambling instincts of the American public, the worldwide public – it’s not the most admirable part of the accomplishment,\" Buffett added. \"But I think what America has accomplished is pretty admirable overall. And I think actually American corporations have turned out to be a wonderful place for people to put their money and save. But they also make terrific gambling chips, and if you cater to those gambling chips when people have money in their pocket for the first time and you tell them take my 30 or 40 or 50 trades a day and you’re not charging commission ... I hope we don’t have more of it.”</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett explained that Berkshire's move to unload many of its bank shares last year was not due to a lack of confidence in the banking industry, but more a decision to re-balance the portfolio and avoid being too heavily tilted toward one area.</p><p>\"I like banks generally, I just didn't like the proportion compared to the possible risk,\" Buffett said. \"We were over 10% of Bank of America. It's a real pain in the neck, more to the banks than us.\"</p><p>Berkshire held 1,032,952,006 shares of Bank of America as of the end of 2020, after adding 85.1 million shares in the third quarter alone. This gave Berkshire Hathaway an ownership stake of 11.9%. Berkshire cut its holdings of Wells Fargo from 345.7 million shares at year-end 2019 to 52.4 million by year-end 2020, and completely exited its holdings in JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and M&amp;T Bank Corp (MTB).</p><p>\"The banking business is way better than it was in the United States 10 or 15 years ago,\" he added. \"The banking business around the world in various places might worry me, but our banks are in far, far better shape than 10 or 15 years ago.\"</p><p>—</p><p>A shareholder asked Jain, who leads Berkshire's insurance business, whether he would be hypothetically willing to write an insurance policy for SpaceX founder Elon Musk for his proposed colonization of Mars.</p><p>\"This is an easy one. No thank you, I’ll pass,\" Jain said.</p><p>“Well I would say it would depend on the premium,” Buffett interjected with a laugh. \"And I would say that I would probably have a somewhat different rate if Elon was on board or not on board. It makes a difference if someone is asking to insure something.”</p><p>—</p><p>Warren Buffett declined to directly offer an opinion in response to a question on bitcoin, an assethe previously likened to \"rat poison squared.\"</p><p>\"I knew there’d be a question on bitcoin or crypto and I thought to myself well, I watch these politicians dodge questions all the time … The truth is, I’m going to dodge that question,\" Buffett said. \"Because the truth is, we’ve probably got hundreds of thousands of people that are watching this that own bitcoin. And we’ve probably got two people that are short. So we’ve got a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, and making two people happy. And it’s just a dumb equation.\"</p><p>Munger, however, issued a more direct attack.</p><p>\"Those who know me well are just waving the red flag at the bull. Of course I hate the bitcoin success,\" he said. \"And I don’t welcome a currency that’s so useful kidnappers and extortionists and so forth. Nor do I like shoveling out a few extra billions and billions and billions of dollars to somebody who just invented a new financial product out of thin air. So I think I should say modestly that the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interest of civilization.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Both Buffett and Munger issued strong words of support for share repurchases, especially after Berkshire reported repurchasing an additional $6.6 billion in stock in the first three months of 2021.</p><p>\"They're a way, essentially, of distributing the cash to the people that want the cash when other co-owners mostly want you to reinvest,\" Buffett said. \"It's a savings vehicle.\"</p><p>\"I find it almost impossible to believe some of the arguments that are made that it's terrible to repurchase shares from a partner if they want to get out of something, and you're able to do it at prices that are advantages to the people that are staying,\" Buffett said. \"And it helps slightly the person that wants out.\"</p><p>Munger offered a similar view.</p><p>\"You're repurchasing stock. Just a bullet higher, it's deeply immoral,\" Munger said. \"But if you're repurchasing stock because it's a fair thing to do in the interest of your existing shareholders, it's a highly moral act and the people who are criticizing it are bonkers.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Low interest rates have catalyzed a surge in valuations across equities, giving those who invest in the markets an opportunity to create wealth, Munger said during the Berkshire Hathaway question and answer segment.</p><p>\"I think one consequence of this present situation is, Bernie Sanders has basically won,\" Munger says. \"Because with everything boomed out so high and interest rates so low, what's going to happen is, the millennial generation is going to have a hell of a time getting rich compared to our generation ... He did it by accident, but he won.\"</p><p>\"And so the difference between the difference between the rich and the poor in the generation that's rising is going to be a lot less,\" he added. \"So Bernie has won.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett received a question around special purpose acquisition companies, or blank-check companies, which have become a hugely popular means for firms to go public over the past year.</p><p>\"The SPACs generally have to spend their money in two years, as I understand it. If you have to buy a business in two years, you put a gun to my head and said you've got to buy a business in two years, I'd buy one but it wouldn't be much of one,\" Buffett.</p><p>\"If you're running money from somebody else and you get a fee and you get the upside and you don't have the downside, you're going to buy something,\" he added. \"And frankly we're not competitive with that.\"</p><p>\"It's an exaggerated version of what we've seen in kind of a gambling-type market,\" he added.</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett conceded that selling some of Apple's stock in 2020 was \"probably a mistake,\" with shares rising even further this year following the tech-led 2020 in the markets.</p><p>\"The brand and the product — it's an incredible product,\" Buffett said of Apple. \"It is indispensable to people.\"</p><p>\"I sold some stock last year, although our shareholders still saw their shares go up because we repurchased shares,\" he added. \"But that was probably a mistake.\"</p><p>Berkshire owned 907,559,761 shares of Appleas of the end of December for a total market value of $120.4 billion. By contrast, the firm spent just $31 billion accumulating this stake since late 2016.</p><p>—</p><p>A shareholder directed a question to Ajit Jain and Greg Abel asking about the relationship the two likely next leaders of Berkshire Hathaway have with one another, given how iconic the relationship between Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger has been over the course of the company's history.</p><p>\"There's no question the relationship Warren has with Charlie is unique,\" Jain said. \"It's not going to be duplicated, certainly not by me and Greg. I can't think of anybody that can duplicate it.\"</p><p>\"I certainly have a lot of respect, both at a professional level and personal level, in terms of what Greg's abilities are,\" Jain added. \"We do not interact with each other as often as Warren and Charlie do. But every quarter we will talk to each other about our respective decision.\"</p><p>\"Even though the interaction may be different than say how Warren and Charlie do it ... we make sure we're always following up with each other but it goes beyond that,\" Abel said. \"Ajit has a great understanding of the Berkshire culture. I strongly believe I do too.\"</p><p>—</p><p>One shareholder asked Buffett about Berkshire's decision to invest in the oil and gas industry, and queried whether we might have \"build our own unrealistic consensus on the pace of change\" to clean energy solutions. Buffett defended the company's investment in the industry and in Chevron specifically, whichwas a relatively recent investment for the firm.</p><p>\"I would say that people are on the extremes of both sides are a little nuts. I would hate to have all the hydrocarbons banned in three years,\" Buffett said. \"You wouldn't want a world — it wouldn't work. And on the other hand, what's happening will be adapted to over time just as we've adapted to all kinds of things.\"</p><p>\"We have no problem owning Costco or Walmart and a substantial number of their stores. And they sell cigarettes, it's a big item,\" he added as an analogy. \"It's a very tough situation ... It's a very tough time to decide what companies benefit societies more than others.\"</p><p>\"I don't like making the moral judgments on stocks in terms of actually running the businesses, but there's something about every business that you knew that you wouldn't like,\" he added. \"If you expect perfection in your spouse or in your friends or in companies you're not going to find it.\"</p><p>\"Chevron is not an evil company in the least, and I have no compunction about owning it in the least, about owning Chevron,\" Buffett concluded. \"And if we owned the entire business I would not feel uncomfortable about being in that business.\"</p><p>Answering a subsequent question about the Berkshire board of directors' recommendation to voteagainst reporting climate-related risks, Munger added, \"I don't know we know the answer to all these questions about global warming.\"</p><p>\"The people who ask the questions think they know the answer. We're just more modest.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Most investors would benefit from simply purchasing an S&amp;P 500 index fund over the long run rather than picking individual stocks, even including Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett said during the question-and-answer session Saturday.</p><p>\"I recommend the S&amp;P 500 index fund … I’ve never recommended Berkshire to anybody because I don’t want people to buy it because they think I’m tipping them into something,\" he said. \"On my death there's a fund for my then-widow and 90% will go into an S&amp;P 500 index fund.\"</p><p>\"I do not think the average person can pick stocks,\" he added. \"We happen to have a large group of people that didn't pick stocks but they picked Charlie and me to manage money for them 50, 60 years ago. So we have a very unusual group of shareholders I think who look at Berkshire as a lifetime savings vehicle and one that they don’t have to think about and one that they'll, you know, they don't look at it again for 10 to 20 years.\"</p><p>Charlie Munger, on the other hand, had a different perspective.</p><p>\"I personally prefer holding Berkshire to holding the market,\" he said in response to the same question. \"I’m quite comfortable holding Berkshire. I think our businesses are better than the average in the market.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett reiterated a staunchly supportive stance of U.S. corporations and capitalism in his opening remarks, highlighting that five of the six largest companies in the world by market capitalization currently comprise domestic companies. Those five companies are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook, with only Saudi Aramco of Saudi Arabia coming in as a non-U.S. mega-cap company in the top six.</p><p>But only a couple hundred years ago, the U.S. looked like the underdog.</p><p>\"In 1790 we had one-half of 1% of the world's population,\" Buffett said. \"600,000 of them were slaves. Ireland had more people than the United States had. Russia had five times as many people. Ukraine had twice as many people.\"</p><p>\"But here we were. What did we have? We had a map for the future, an aspirational map that somehow now only 232 years later, leaves us with five of the top six companies in the world,\" he said. \"It's not an accident. And it's not because we were way smarter, way stronger or anything of the sort. We had good soil, decent climate, but so did some of the other countries I named. This system has worked very well.\"</p><p>—</p><p>In opening remarks at the start of Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting, Buffett credited the U.S. economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis toswift action by the Federal Reserve and Congress.</p><p>\"The economy went off a cliff in March. It was resurrected in an extraordinarily effective way by Federal Reserve action and later on the fiscal front by Congress,\" Buffett said in opening remarks at Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting.\"</p><p>He added that Berkshire Hathaway's own business has picked up tremendously alongside the broader economy, and suggested businesses like airlines were still among those most deeply affected by lingering effects from the pandemic.</p><p>\"Our businesses have done really quite well. This has been a very, very, very unusual recession in that it's been localized ... to an extraordinary extent. Right now business is really very good in a great many segments of the economy,\" he added. \"But there's still problems if you're in a few types of businesses that have been decimated such as international air travel or something of the sort.\"</p><p>—</p><p>The CEO of See's Candies, one of the longstanding companies owned by Berkshire Hathaway, told Yahoo Finance that the companyhas seen a strong rebound at the start of 2021. However, last year, business virtually ground to a halt.</p><p>\"This has been the longest decade of my life. We've been through a lot. Last year – it's a tale of a couple of different quarters. The first quarter was tremendous,\" See's Candies CEO Pat Egan said in an interview with Yahoo Finance's Julia La Roche ahead of the start of Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting. \"In the middle of March, when this [pandemic] really hit, we shut down all of our stores in a span of five days. So about 245 stores we closed in a matter of days. And then about a week and a half later, we closed our e-commerce fulfillment center down in Southern California. So for a period of time there, we essentially completely stopped.\"</p><p>\"We just said, we're not going to reopen stores or reopen plants until we can create a safe operating environment for our employees,\" he added. \"That took a while, and by the time we restored over the summer we saw customers coming back in. But for that period of time, it was pretty rough.\"</p><p>See's Candies just completed its \"best first quarter ever\" at the start of 2021, Egan added.</p><p>—</p><p>Berkshire Hathawayreported first-quarter results Saturday morning, underscoring arebound in profits across the firm's businesses amid the COVID-19 recovery. Berkshire also reported that it conducted another $6.6 billion of stock buybacks, extending its ramped-up share repurchase program from 2020.</p><p>Operating income during the first three months of the year increased to $7.02 billion, rising 19.5% compared to the $5.87 billion posted in the first quarter of 2020. Net earnings attributable to Berkshire shareholders swung back to a profit of $11.71 billion, compared to a loss of $49.75 billion in the same quarter last year.</p><p>Consolidated shareholders' equity rose by $4.8 billion to $448 billion by the end of March compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/RN?name=RNLive&amp;rndata={&quot;liveId&quot;:&quot;16196040827650&quot;}\" target=\"_blank\">If you want to watch the full live video, please click here.</a></p>","source":"yahoofinance_sg","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Of course I hate the bitcoin success,\" he said. \"And I don’t welcome a currency that’s so useful kidnappers and extortionists and so forth. Nor do I like shoveling out a few extra billions and billions and billions of dollars to somebody who just invented a new financial product out of thin air. So I think I should say modestly that the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interest of civilization.\"—Both Buffett and Munger issued strong words of support for share repurchases, especially after Berkshire reported repurchasing an additional $6.6 billion in stock in the first three months of 2021.\"They're a way, essentially, of distributing the cash to the people that want the cash when other co-owners mostly want you to reinvest,\" Buffett said. \"It's a savings vehicle.\"\"I find it almost impossible to believe some of the arguments that are made that it's terrible to repurchase shares from a partner if they want to get out of something, and you're able to do it at prices that are advantages to the people that are staying,\" Buffett said. \"And it helps slightly the person that wants out.\"Munger offered a similar view.\"You're repurchasing stock. Just a bullet higher, it's deeply immoral,\" Munger said. \"But if you're repurchasing stock because it's a fair thing to do in the interest of your existing shareholders, it's a highly moral act and the people who are criticizing it are bonkers.\"—Low interest rates have catalyzed a surge in valuations across equities, giving those who invest in the markets an opportunity to create wealth, Munger said during the Berkshire Hathaway question and answer segment.\"I think one consequence of this present situation is, Bernie Sanders has basically won,\" Munger says. \"Because with everything boomed out so high and interest rates so low, what's going to happen is, the millennial generation is going to have a hell of a time getting rich compared to our generation ... He did it by accident, but he won.\"\"And so the difference between the difference between the rich and the poor in the generation that's rising is going to be a lot less,\" he added. \"So Bernie has won.\"—Buffett received a question around special purpose acquisition companies, or blank-check companies, which have become a hugely popular means for firms to go public over the past year.\"The SPACs generally have to spend their money in two years, as I understand it. If you have to buy a business in two years, you put a gun to my head and said you've got to buy a business in two years, I'd buy one but it wouldn't be much of one,\" Buffett.\"If you're running money from somebody else and you get a fee and you get the upside and you don't have the downside, you're going to buy something,\" he added. \"And frankly we're not competitive with that.\"\"It's an exaggerated version of what we've seen in kind of a gambling-type market,\" he added.—Buffett conceded that selling some of Apple's stock in 2020 was \"probably a mistake,\" with shares rising even further this year following the tech-led 2020 in the markets.\"The brand and the product — it's an incredible product,\" Buffett said of Apple. \"It is indispensable to people.\"\"I sold some stock last year, although our shareholders still saw their shares go up because we repurchased shares,\" he added. \"But that was probably a mistake.\"Berkshire owned 907,559,761 shares of Appleas of the end of December for a total market value of $120.4 billion. By contrast, the firm spent just $31 billion accumulating this stake since late 2016.—A shareholder directed a question to Ajit Jain and Greg Abel asking about the relationship the two likely next leaders of Berkshire Hathaway have with one another, given how iconic the relationship between Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger has been over the course of the company's history.\"There's no question the relationship Warren has with Charlie is unique,\" Jain said. \"It's not going to be duplicated, certainly not by me and Greg. I can't think of anybody that can duplicate it.\"\"I certainly have a lot of respect, both at a professional level and personal level, in terms of what Greg's abilities are,\" Jain added. \"We do not interact with each other as often as Warren and Charlie do. But every quarter we will talk to each other about our respective decision.\"\"Even though the interaction may be different than say how Warren and Charlie do it ... we make sure we're always following up with each other but it goes beyond that,\" Abel said. \"Ajit has a great understanding of the Berkshire culture. I strongly believe I do too.\"—One shareholder asked Buffett about Berkshire's decision to invest in the oil and gas industry, and queried whether we might have \"build our own unrealistic consensus on the pace of change\" to clean energy solutions. Buffett defended the company's investment in the industry and in Chevron specifically, whichwas a relatively recent investment for the firm.\"I would say that people are on the extremes of both sides are a little nuts. I would hate to have all the hydrocarbons banned in three years,\" Buffett said. \"You wouldn't want a world — it wouldn't work. And on the other hand, what's happening will be adapted to over time just as we've adapted to all kinds of things.\"\"We have no problem owning Costco or Walmart and a substantial number of their stores. And they sell cigarettes, it's a big item,\" he added as an analogy. \"It's a very tough situation ... It's a very tough time to decide what companies benefit societies more than others.\"\"I don't like making the moral judgments on stocks in terms of actually running the businesses, but there's something about every business that you knew that you wouldn't like,\" he added. \"If you expect perfection in your spouse or in your friends or in companies you're not going to find it.\"\"Chevron is not an evil company in the least, and I have no compunction about owning it in the least, about owning Chevron,\" Buffett concluded. \"And if we owned the entire business I would not feel uncomfortable about being in that business.\"Answering a subsequent question about the Berkshire board of directors' recommendation to voteagainst reporting climate-related risks, Munger added, \"I don't know we know the answer to all these questions about global warming.\"\"The people who ask the questions think they know the answer. We're just more modest.\"—Most investors would benefit from simply purchasing an S&P 500 index fund over the long run rather than picking individual stocks, even including Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett said during the question-and-answer session Saturday.\"I recommend the S&P 500 index fund … I’ve never recommended Berkshire to anybody because I don’t want people to buy it because they think I’m tipping them into something,\" he said. \"On my death there's a fund for my then-widow and 90% will go into an S&P 500 index fund.\"\"I do not think the average person can pick stocks,\" he added. \"We happen to have a large group of people that didn't pick stocks but they picked Charlie and me to manage money for them 50, 60 years ago. So we have a very unusual group of shareholders I think who look at Berkshire as a lifetime savings vehicle and one that they don’t have to think about and one that they'll, you know, they don't look at it again for 10 to 20 years.\"Charlie Munger, on the other hand, had a different perspective.\"I personally prefer holding Berkshire to holding the market,\" he said in response to the same question. \"I’m quite comfortable holding Berkshire. I think our businesses are better than the average in the market.\"—Buffett reiterated a staunchly supportive stance of U.S. corporations and capitalism in his opening remarks, highlighting that five of the six largest companies in the world by market capitalization currently comprise domestic companies. Those five companies are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook, with only Saudi Aramco of Saudi Arabia coming in as a non-U.S. mega-cap company in the top six.But only a couple hundred years ago, the U.S. looked like the underdog.\"In 1790 we had one-half of 1% of the world's population,\" Buffett said. \"600,000 of them were slaves. Ireland had more people than the United States had. Russia had five times as many people. Ukraine had twice as many people.\"\"But here we were. What did we have? We had a map for the future, an aspirational map that somehow now only 232 years later, leaves us with five of the top six companies in the world,\" he said. \"It's not an accident. And it's not because we were way smarter, way stronger or anything of the sort. We had good soil, decent climate, but so did some of the other countries I named. This system has worked very well.\"—In opening remarks at the start of Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting, Buffett credited the U.S. economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis toswift action by the Federal Reserve and Congress.\"The economy went off a cliff in March. It was resurrected in an extraordinarily effective way by Federal Reserve action and later on the fiscal front by Congress,\" Buffett said in opening remarks at Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting.\"He added that Berkshire Hathaway's own business has picked up tremendously alongside the broader economy, and suggested businesses like airlines were still among those most deeply affected by lingering effects from the pandemic.\"Our businesses have done really quite well. This has been a very, very, very unusual recession in that it's been localized ... to an extraordinary extent. Right now business is really very good in a great many segments of the economy,\" he added. \"But there's still problems if you're in a few types of businesses that have been decimated such as international air travel or something of the sort.\"—The CEO of See's Candies, one of the longstanding companies owned by Berkshire Hathaway, told Yahoo Finance that the companyhas seen a strong rebound at the start of 2021. However, last year, business virtually ground to a halt.\"This has been the longest decade of my life. We've been through a lot. Last year – it's a tale of a couple of different quarters. The first quarter was tremendous,\" See's Candies CEO Pat Egan said in an interview with Yahoo Finance's Julia La Roche ahead of the start of Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting. \"In the middle of March, when this [pandemic] really hit, we shut down all of our stores in a span of five days. So about 245 stores we closed in a matter of days. And then about a week and a half later, we closed our e-commerce fulfillment center down in Southern California. So for a period of time there, we essentially completely stopped.\"\"We just said, we're not going to reopen stores or reopen plants until we can create a safe operating environment for our employees,\" he added. \"That took a while, and by the time we restored over the summer we saw customers coming back in. But for that period of time, it was pretty rough.\"See's Candies just completed its \"best first quarter ever\" at the start of 2021, Egan added.—Berkshire Hathawayreported first-quarter results Saturday morning, underscoring arebound in profits across the firm's businesses amid the COVID-19 recovery. Berkshire also reported that it conducted another $6.6 billion of stock buybacks, extending its ramped-up share repurchase program from 2020.Operating income during the first three months of the year increased to $7.02 billion, rising 19.5% compared to the $5.87 billion posted in the first quarter of 2020. Net earnings attributable to Berkshire shareholders swung back to a profit of $11.71 billion, compared to a loss of $49.75 billion in the same quarter last year.Consolidated shareholders' equity rose by $4.8 billion to $448 billion by the end of March compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.If you want to watch the full live video, please click here.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":355,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":100159081,"gmtCreate":1619592238543,"gmtModify":1704726475868,"author":{"id":"3572682061977022","authorId":"3572682061977022","name":"Weichao","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572682061977022","authorIdStr":"3572682061977022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/100159081","repostId":"1124091974","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1124091974","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":1619567579,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1124091974?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-28 07:52","market":"us","language":"en","title":"S&P 500 closes flat near a record high ahead","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1124091974","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"The S&P 500 closed little changed near its record level on Tuesday as investors braced for a big bat","content":"<p>The S&amp;P 500 closed little changed near its record level on Tuesday as investors braced for a big batch of tech earnings.</p><p>The broad equity benchmark ended the day less than 0.1% lower at 4,186.72 after hitting a record high in the previous session.

The central bank is not expected to take any action, but economists expect it to defend its policy to let inflation run hot.The latest CNBC Fed Survey sees the central bank staying on hold and keeping its asset-buying program in place at the same levels for the rest of 2021, despite growing concerns about an overheating economy.Big Tech earningsMicrosoft sales grow on cloud strength, shares dip on heightened valuationGoogle Shares Rise On Revenue And Earnings Beat, $50B BuybackAMD stock rises after earnings show data-center sales more than doublingPinterest shares sink as easing of pandemic restrictions weighs on user growthTexas Instruments Surpasses Q1 Earnings and Revenue EstimatesStarbucks sales miss estimates, shares drop despite rosier forecastVisa stock gains after earnings beat, return to growth for credit transactionsIllumina Q1 EPS $1.89 Beats $1.38 Estimate, Sales $1.09B Beat $995.85M Estimate","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":335,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":374950112,"gmtCreate":1619411398136,"gmtModify":1704723441724,"author":{"id":"3572682061977022","authorId":"3572682061977022","name":"Weichao","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572682061977022","authorIdStr":"3572682061977022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Oo","listText":"Oo","text":"Oo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/374950112","repostId":"1184404050","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1184404050","pubTimestamp":1619319329,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1184404050?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-25 10:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What to watch in the markets this week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1184404050","media":"CNBC","summary":"The last week of April will be extremely busy for markets with a third of the S&P 500 reporting earnings, a Federal Reserve meeting, and new spending and tax proposals from the White House.Big Tech is a highlight of the earnings calendar, with Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook and Alphabet all releasing results.The Fed is not expected to take any action, but economists expect it to defend its policy to let inflation run hot.There is some key data including first-quarter gross domestic product a","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSThe last week of April will be extremely busy for markets with a third of the S&P 500 reporting earnings, a Federal Reserve meeting, and new spending and tax proposals from the White House....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/23/taxes-and-inflation-will-be-key-themes-for-markets-in-the-week-ahead.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The president addresses a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening.It’s a huge week for earnings with about a third of the S&P 500 reporting, including Big Tech names, such as Apple,Microsoft,Alphabet and Amazon.As many have already done, firms like Boeing, Ford,Caterpillar and McDonald’s, are likely to detail cost pressures they are facing from rising materials and transportation costs and supply chain disruptions.At the same time, the Fed is expected to defend its policy of letting inflation run hot, while assuring markets it sees the pick-up in prices as only temporary. The central bank meets on Tuesday and Wednesday.The central bank takes the main stage“I think the Fed would like not to be a feature next week, but the Fed will be forced from the background because of concerns about inflation,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton.The central bank is not expected to make any policy moves, but Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s press briefing following the meeting Wednesday will be closely watched.So far, the barrage of earnings news has been positive, with 86% of companies reporting earnings beats. Corporate profits are expected to be up about 33.9% for the first quarter, based on estimates and actual reports, according to Refinitiv. Revenues are about 9.9% higher.There is important inflation data Friday when the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge is reported.The personal consumption expenditure report is expected to show a 1.8% rise in core inflation, still below the Fed’s target of 2%. Other data releases include the first-quarter gross domestic product on Thursday, which is expected to have grown by 6.5%, according to Dow Jones.“I think the Fed has no urgency to shift monetary policy at this point,” said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO. “The Fed needs to acknowledge that the data is improving. We had a strong first quarter.”“The Fed needs to acknowledge that but at the same time they’re keeping extremely accommodative policy in place, so they’ll have to make a note to the fact that the easy policy is warranted,” he said.Lyngen said the Fed will likely point to continued concerns about the pandemic globally as a potential risk to the economic recovery.Powell is also expected to once more explain that the Fed will let inflation rise above its 2% target for a period of time before it raises rates so that the economy can have more time to heal. “It’s going to be a challenge for the Fed,” said Swonk.The base effects for the next several months will make inflation appear to have jumped sharply because of the comparison to a weak period last year. The consumer price index for April could be above 3%, compared to 2.6% last month, Swonk added.“The Fed is trying to let a lot more people get out onto the dance floor before it calls ‘last call,’” she said. “Really what Powell has been saying since day one is if we take care of people on the margins and bring them back into the labor force, the rest will take care of itself.”Stocks were slightly lower in the past week, and Treasury yields held at lower levels. The 10-year yield,which moves opposite price, was at 1.55% Friday.The S&P 500was down 0.1%, ending the week at 4,180, while Nasdaq Composite was down nearly 0.3% at 14,016. The Dow was off just shy of 0.5% at 34,043.Tax hike prospectsStocks were hit hard on Thursday when after a news report said that Biden is expected to propose a capital gains tax rate of 39.6% for people earning more than $1 million a year.Combined with the 3.8% net investment income tax, the new levy would more than double the long term capital gains rate of 20% or the richest Americans.Strategists said Biden is expected to propose raising the income tax rate for those earning more than $400,000.“I think a lot of people are starting to price in the risk there going to be a significant increase in both corporate and capital gains taxes,” said Lyngen.So far, companies have not provided much in the way of commentary on the proposed hike in corporate taxes to 28% from 21% but they have been talking about other costs.David Bianco, chief investment strategist for the Americas at DWS, said he expects larger companies will do better dealing with supply chain constraints than smaller ones. Big Tech is also likely to fare better during the semiconductor shortage than auto makers, which have already announced production shutdowns, he said.“Next week is tech week. I think we’re going to get down on our knees and just be in awe of their business models and their ability to grow at a behemoth scale,” Bianco said.He said he’s not in favor of Wall Street’s popular trade into cyclicals and out of growth. He still favors growth.“We’re overweight equities really because we’re concerned about rising interest rates,” Bianco said. “I’m not bullish in that I expect the market to rise that much from here.”“We stuck with growth and dug deeper into bond substitutes, utilities, staples, real estate,” he said, adding he is underweight industrials, energy and materials. “Energy is doomed. It’s being nationalized via regulation. I do like industrials, they are well-run companies, but I do think infrastructure spending expectations for classic infrastructure are too high.”He also said industrials are good businesses, but the stocks have become overvalued.Bianco said he likes big box stores, but smaller retailers are facing big challenges that were already impacting them prior to Covid. He also finds small biotech firms attractive.“I like healthcare stocks. Those valuations are reasonable. People have been paranoid about politicians beating on them since 1992. They manage through it and lately they’ve been delivering,” he said.Week ahead calendarMondayEarnings:Tesla,Canadian National Railway, Canon,Check Point Software,Otis Worldwide, Vale,Ameriprise,NXP Semiconductor,Albertsons, Royal Phillips8:30 a.m. Durable goodsTuesdayFOMC begins two day meetingEarnings:Microsoft,Alphabet,Visa,Amgen,Advanced Micro Devices,3M,General Electric,Eli Lilly, Hasbro,United Parcel Service,BP,Novartis,JetBlue,Pultegroup,Archer Daniels Midland,Waste Management,Starbucks,Texas Instrument,Chubb,Mondelez,FireEye,Corning,Raytheon9:00 a.m. S&P/Case-Shiller9:00 a.m. FHFA home prices10:00 a.m. Consumer confidence10:00 a.m. Housing vacanciesWednesdayEarnings:Apple, Boeing,Facebook,Qualcomm,Ford,MGM Resorts,Humana,Norfolk Southern,General Dynamics,Boston Scientific, eBay, Samsung Electronics, GlaxoSmithKline,Yum Brands, SiriusXM, Aflac,Cheesecake Factory,Community Health System,CIT Group,Entergy,CME Group,Hess,Ryder System8:30 a.m. Advance economic indicators2:00 p.m. Fed statement2:30 p.m. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell briefingThursdayEarnings:Amazon,Caterpillar,McDonald’s,Twitter,Bristol-Myers Squibb,Comcast,Merck,Northrop Grumman, Airbus,Kraft Heinz,Intercontinental Exchange,Mastercard,Gilead Sciences,U.S. Steel, Cirrus Logic,Texas Roadhouse, Cabot Oil, PG&E,Royal Dutch Shell,Church & Dwight, Carlyle Group,Southern Co.8:30 a.m. Initial jobless claims8:30 a.m. Real GDP Q110:00 a.m. Pending home salesFridayEarnings:ExxonMobil,Chevron,Colgate-Palmolive,AstraZeneca,Clorox,Barclays, AbbVie, BNP Paribas,Weyerhaeuser,Illinois Tool Works, CBOE Global Markets, Lazard,Newell Brands,Aon,LyondellBasell,Pitney Bowes,Phillips 66,Charter Communications8:30 a.m. Personal income and spending8:30 a.m. Employment cost index Q19:45 a.m. Chicago PMI10:00 a.m. Consumer sentimentSaturdayEarnings:Berkshire Hathaway","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":725,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375946267,"gmtCreate":1619291428759,"gmtModify":1704722104788,"author":{"id":"3572682061977022","authorId":"3572682061977022","name":"Weichao","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572682061977022","authorIdStr":"3572682061977022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375946267","repostId":"1166519043","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1166519043","pubTimestamp":1619192700,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1166519043?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-23 23:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Stock Split: Will It Happen Again?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1166519043","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Tesla not only has to contend with pure-play EV-makers.

Some estimates implied that Tesla would take a lion's share of the EV market despite the rapid increase in the number of competitors.</p>\n<p>By 2025, Tesla not only has to contend with pure-play EV-makers. It will also face new entrants such as Apple Inc. (AAPL) as well as Chinese smartphone giants Huawei and Xiaomi Corporation (OTC:XIACF)(OTCPK:XIACY). More traditional automakers will also be producing electric vehicles, even as they continue to churn out internal combustion engine-based cars.</p>\n<p>Even if the demand side is plausible, it would mean Tesla, Inc. needs to build many more factories. Given the effusive praise we have heard from Elon Musk regarding the speed of factory construction and on China in general, we could expect additional new plants to be cited in the populous country. That could add more&nbsp;geopolitical risks&nbsp;to the stock, as SA author John Engle argued.</p>\n<p>Then again, as many readers on Seeking Alpha, analysts, and Cathie Wood have postulated, Tesla's true potential lies in a future rollout of an autonomous ride-hailing fleet. Consequently, Tesla's revenue is projected to rise from $31.54 billion in 2020 to a whopping $388.52 billion on a consensus basis in 2030. That would bring the price-to-sales ratio to a mere 1.84 times on a forward basis.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fac352f9c2ac9bac0412ed076c27c75a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"368\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha Premium</span></p>\n<p>If Tesla did not disappoint the most bullish of the optimists forecasting its revenue to hit $600.7 billion in 2030, its P/S ratio would drop even lower to 1.19 times! You might say, all that sales are wonderful but what does their profitability look like? Well, the analysts believe TSLA would make boatloads of money. The consensus EPS estimate for 2030 is $33.48, a massive jump from the $0.64 it achieved in 2020. If the 2030 EPS estimate is realized, those earnings at today's price would reflect a ratio of 22.2 times, which could be seen as incredibly low.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7650450aa6230d6585a502b571ee3652\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha Premium</span></p>\n<p>With EV sales projected by industry consultancy Canalys to remain below 50 percent of the total car sales by 2030, there remains significant growth potential for Tesla to increase its revenue. As such, assuming the analysts are correct, the share price of TSLA will not stay at the present level for the P/S ratio to be just 1.84 times and the P/E ratio at 22.2 times, the share price of TSLA would rise further than where it stands today.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0cd810d4171606b50d186b8d9bf10bf5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"479\"></p>\n<p>Tesla stock split history: What was Tesla's stock price before the recent split?</p>\n<p>In other words, Tesla's share price would continue to rise over the next five to ten years. With that in mind, the question is, will TSLA split again? Before discussing that, let's review Tesla's previous split.</p>\n<p>On August 11, 2020, Tesla&nbsp;announced, after the market closed, that its board approved a five-for-one split of shares to \"make stock ownership more accessible to employees and investors.\" This marked Tesla's first-ever split announcement. The stock jumped from a pre-split price of $1374.4 to as high as $1585 the next day before closing at $1554.75. TSLA went on to clock further gains the rest of the month, appreciating over 80 percent by the end of August 2020.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c1b22a860341fe3bf36996d737680ddb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"485\"></p>\n<p><b>How did Tesla's most recent stock split affect share prices?</b></p>\n<p>Interestingly, after the split was affected, Tesla stock lost much of the August gains in just a few trading sessions in early September. The share price decline was speculated by some to be due to shareholders paring their holdings since the split had resulted in them holding more TSLA shares. This seems logical as the purpose of the split was to accord shareholders with greater \"liquidity\" over their TSLA holding.</p>\n<p>However, the weakness in Tesla's share price was more likely attributable to a capital-raising exercise&nbsp;announced&nbsp;pre-market on September 1, 2020. Although only up to $5 billion worth of shares representing just over 1 percent of Tesla's market cap were to be sold, investors were probably looking for a trigger to take profit considering that TSLA was running in overbought territory for more than two weeks, according to the relative strength index [RSI] momentum indicator at that time.</p>\n<p>TSLA's strong run upwards had also led to the stock becoming \"overweight\" on many shareholders' portfolios. Ironically, that meant investors, whether individuals or fund managers had to reduce their Tesla holdings to avoid concentration risk. For funds with concentration guidelines or rules, it's not even a choice but a&nbsp;mandatory reduction&nbsp;exercise once the Tesla position became outsized.</p>\n<p>To make matters worse, Tesla stock was subsequently dragged down further into correction territory amid a sell-off by investors of tech favorites and \"all things frothy.\" The share price recovered some grounds quickly but the stock stagnated for a few months thereafter before a&nbsp;powerful wave of EV hypeswept TSLA up again to new heights.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/085a34d7256fb764f0652d6223057202\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"267\"><span>Source: Yahoo Finance</span></p>\n<p><b>When will Tesla stock split again?</b></p>\n<p>Although Tesla's share price has pulled back from the peak earlier in the year, it remains much higher than the post-split level last year. At $744.12 at the time of writing, TSLA is 49 percent higher than the $498.32 close on August 31, 2020, the day of the stock split.</p>\n<p>If the past is any reference, Tesla executives did the stock split when the share price was in quadruple-digit. TSLA will need to rise more than 34 percent for that to happen again. As I opined earlier, Tesla stock appears to be poised for further upside. I believe it's more of a question of when, not if, will TSLA hit above $1,000 per share.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, even in the current investing environment where there are platforms allowing the trading of fractional shares, there are still benefits for stocks with smaller prices. One obvious advantage is the impact on psychology, as the mind interprets low prices as \"cheaply valued\" and having room to head north.</p>\n<p>The leadership at Apple must be thinking the same as the folks at Tesla when the company executed its stock split around the same time as the EV giant last August. The share price appreciation from pre-announcement to post-stock split date was less spectacular compared to Tesla but still a hefty 41 percent.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/46bd0bed00b03ba1d738fd84c9dfb0dc\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"483\"></p>\n<p>Considering that Apple&nbsp;announced&nbsp;a stock split when the share price was much lower at $384.76, it goes to show there's value in considering a split in the stock even without the share price hitting quadruple-digit.

Some estimates implied that Tesla would take a lion's share of the EV market despite the rapid increase in the number of competitors.\nBy 2025, Tesla not only has to contend with pure-play EV-makers. It will also face new entrants such as Apple Inc. (AAPL) as well as Chinese smartphone giants Huawei and Xiaomi Corporation (OTC:XIACF)(OTCPK:XIACY). More traditional automakers will also be producing electric vehicles, even as they continue to churn out internal combustion engine-based cars.\nEven if the demand side is plausible, it would mean Tesla, Inc. needs to build many more factories. Given the effusive praise we have heard from Elon Musk regarding the speed of factory construction and on China in general, we could expect additional new plants to be cited in the populous country. That could add more geopolitical risks to the stock, as SA author John Engle argued.\nThen again, as many readers on Seeking Alpha, analysts, and Cathie Wood have postulated, Tesla's true potential lies in a future rollout of an autonomous ride-hailing fleet. Consequently, Tesla's revenue is projected to rise from $31.54 billion in 2020 to a whopping $388.52 billion on a consensus basis in 2030. That would bring the price-to-sales ratio to a mere 1.84 times on a forward basis.\nSource: Seeking Alpha Premium\nIf Tesla did not disappoint the most bullish of the optimists forecasting its revenue to hit $600.7 billion in 2030, its P/S ratio would drop even lower to 1.19 times! You might say, all that sales are wonderful but what does their profitability look like? Well, the analysts believe TSLA would make boatloads of money. The consensus EPS estimate for 2030 is $33.48, a massive jump from the $0.64 it achieved in 2020. If the 2030 EPS estimate is realized, those earnings at today's price would reflect a ratio of 22.2 times, which could be seen as incredibly low.\nSource: Seeking Alpha Premium\nWith EV sales projected by industry consultancy Canalys to remain below 50 percent of the total car sales by 2030, there remains significant growth potential for Tesla to increase its revenue. As such, assuming the analysts are correct, the share price of TSLA will not stay at the present level for the P/S ratio to be just 1.84 times and the P/E ratio at 22.2 times, the share price of TSLA would rise further than where it stands today.\n\nTesla stock split history: What was Tesla's stock price before the recent split?\nIn other words, Tesla's share price would continue to rise over the next five to ten years. With that in mind, the question is, will TSLA split again? Before discussing that, let's review Tesla's previous split.\nOn August 11, 2020, Tesla announced, after the market closed, that its board approved a five-for-one split of shares to \"make stock ownership more accessible to employees and investors.\" This marked Tesla's first-ever split announcement. The stock jumped from a pre-split price of $1374.4 to as high as $1585 the next day before closing at $1554.75. TSLA went on to clock further gains the rest of the month, appreciating over 80 percent by the end of August 2020.\n\nHow did Tesla's most recent stock split affect share prices?\nInterestingly, after the split was affected, Tesla stock lost much of the August gains in just a few trading sessions in early September. The share price decline was speculated by some to be due to shareholders paring their holdings since the split had resulted in them holding more TSLA shares. This seems logical as the purpose of the split was to accord shareholders with greater \"liquidity\" over their TSLA holding.\nHowever, the weakness in Tesla's share price was more likely attributable to a capital-raising exercise announced pre-market on September 1, 2020. Although only up to $5 billion worth of shares representing just over 1 percent of Tesla's market cap were to be sold, investors were probably looking for a trigger to take profit considering that TSLA was running in overbought territory for more than two weeks, according to the relative strength index [RSI] momentum indicator at that time.\nTSLA's strong run upwards had also led to the stock becoming \"overweight\" on many shareholders' portfolios. Ironically, that meant investors, whether individuals or fund managers had to reduce their Tesla holdings to avoid concentration risk. For funds with concentration guidelines or rules, it's not even a choice but a mandatory reduction exercise once the Tesla position became outsized.\nTo make matters worse, Tesla stock was subsequently dragged down further into correction territory amid a sell-off by investors of tech favorites and \"all things frothy.\" The share price recovered some grounds quickly but the stock stagnated for a few months thereafter before a powerful wave of EV hypeswept TSLA up again to new heights.\nSource: Yahoo Finance\nWhen will Tesla stock split again?\nAlthough Tesla's share price has pulled back from the peak earlier in the year, it remains much higher than the post-split level last year. At $744.12 at the time of writing, TSLA is 49 percent higher than the $498.32 close on August 31, 2020, the day of the stock split.\nIf the past is any reference, Tesla executives did the stock split when the share price was in quadruple-digit. TSLA will need to rise more than 34 percent for that to happen again. As I opined earlier, Tesla stock appears to be poised for further upside. I believe it's more of a question of when, not if, will TSLA hit above $1,000 per share.\nNevertheless, even in the current investing environment where there are platforms allowing the trading of fractional shares, there are still benefits for stocks with smaller prices. One obvious advantage is the impact on psychology, as the mind interprets low prices as \"cheaply valued\" and having room to head north.\nThe leadership at Apple must be thinking the same as the folks at Tesla when the company executed its stock split around the same time as the EV giant last August. The share price appreciation from pre-announcement to post-stock split date was less spectacular compared to Tesla but still a hefty 41 percent.\n\nConsidering that Apple announced a stock split when the share price was much lower at $384.76, it goes to show there's value in considering a split in the stock even without the share price hitting quadruple-digit. Furthermore, AAPL has done this four times before - in 1987, 2000, 2005, and 2014 - when the share prices were all below $1,000. In 1987 and 2005, the stock was even trading at the sub-$100 level when the company did the split.\nJim Cramer was quoted as saying during an interview last year that Tim Cook explained the 2020 stock split to him, telling him that he wanted \"more people in the stock.\" I suppose that's what Bill Gates and his team thought when the software giant performed eight stock splits from the listing of Microsoft (MSFT) until 1999 as MSFT climbed exponentially during the period. Elon Musk and Tim Cook are the odd couple but I believe the former would agree on having \"more people\" in TSLA stock.\nSource: Yahoo Finance\nShould you buy Tesla now or wait for a split?\nVideo-streaming leader Netflix (NFLX) announced a seven-for-one stock split in 2015 when its share was around $700 pre-split. NFLX went on to do very well though it's very much due to its business success than a simple cosmetic stock split exercise.

But for Airbnb, which relies on people to open their homes to guests, the company will need to ramp up its number of hosts instead of building out more real estate or adding flights to meet demand.\nIt’s a similar problem faced by other companies in the gig economy likeUber, which recently announced a$250 million stimulusin an effort to bring more drivers to its platform.\n“As vaccination rates increase in the United States, we are observing that consumer demand for Mobility is recovering faster than driver availability, and consumer demand for Delivery continues to exceed courier availability,”Uber saidin a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.\nChesky said Airbnb isn’t likely to offer “a lot of incentives” to bring new hosts on board since there’s already a huge amount of demand for service.\n“I think that all we have to do is just continue to tell our story of Airbnb, and the benefits of hosting. And we are seeing a lot of interest,” he said.\nAs part of that, Chesky said the company has done things like launch its “made possible by hosts” ad campaign. The company rolled out a number of advertisements using photographs from Airbnb guests staying in homes around the world, in an effort to create a sense of nostalgia.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":710,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":347194171,"gmtCreate":1618473211793,"gmtModify":1704711359020,"author":{"id":"3572682061977022","authorId":"3572682061977022","name":"Weichao","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572682061977022","authorIdStr":"3572682061977022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/347194171","repostId":"1150469902","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1150469902","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1618447631,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1150469902?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-15 08:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"KKR-backed AppLovin raises $2 billion in IPO -source","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1150469902","media":"Reuters","summary":"U.S. mobile app and gaming company AppLovin Corp sold shares in its initial public offering (IPO) at","content":"<p>U.S. mobile app and gaming company AppLovin Corp sold shares in its initial public offering (IPO) at the mid-point of its target range to raise $2 billion, a person familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.</p>\n<p>AppLovin, which is backed by private equity giant KKR &amp; Co Inc, priced 25 million shares at $80 per share, the source said.

While the economy is showing signs of recovery and markets are pricing in a strong rebound in growth, members of the Federal Open Market Committee, or FOMC, said it “would likely be some time” before they will need to start winding down their $120 billion in bond purchases, which is seen as an initial step on the path toward raising interest rates.</p><p>“Despite these positive indicators and an improved public health situation, participants agreed that the economy remained far from the Committee’s longer-run goals and that the path ahead remained highly uncertain, with the pandemic continuing to pose considerable risks to the outlook,” the minutes said. That tracks with Powell’s comments.</p><p>That doesn’t mean there weren’t some notable details in Wednesday’s meeting minutes. The Fed’s staff and members of the Fed’s policy committee discussed some important market trends that could matter for markets. Here are five:</p><p><b>Why central bankers (and their staff) think Treasury yields are rising</b>.</p><p>Fed officials and staffers discussedthe selloff in Treasuriesthat have pushed 10-year yields up by nearly 75 basis points, or hundredths of a percentage point, so far this year. The main driver of the increase since January hasn’t been inflation expectations, but rather an increase in “real” or inflation-adjusted yields.</p><p>In theory, real yields should reflect expectations for Fed policy. But while staffers did discuss bets that the Fed would tighten—more on that later—they attributed “a significant portion” of the market’s selloff to rising term premiums, a catchall metric meant to capture factors that can affect yields other than inflation or Fed policy forecasts. The rise in term premiums could be reflecting fiscal policy or the increase in long-term Treasury issuance planned to finance Covid-19 relief efforts.</p><p>“Higher term premiums could reflect the outlook for more expansive fiscal policy and an associated upward revision in the expected path for Treasury debt outstanding,” said staffers, according to the minutes’ summary of the discussion. “Increased uncertainty over the outlook for longer-term interest rates as well as technical factors may also have contributed to the rise.”</p><p>For their part, the FOMC members “generally viewed [the increase in yields] as reflecting the improved economic outlook, some firming in inflation expectations, and expectations for increased Treasury debt issuance.” Not too much to worry about, in other words.</p><p>Officials were slightly less sanguine aboutthe ugly trading in late February, however: “Disorderly conditions in Treasury markets or a persistent rise in yields that could jeopardize progress toward the Committee’s goals were seen as cause for concern.”</p><p><b>Bond traders are saying and doing different things.</b></p><p>The Fed’s staff might be attributing the rise in yields to the kitchen-sink indicator known as the term premium, but markets are still betting on a quicker pace of Fed rate increases.</p><p>Staffers acknowledged this, according to the minutes, and said derivatives markets are pricing the Fed’s first rate increase in the first quarter of 2023.</p><p>But staffers also played down the issue by highlighting surveys of bond traders and institutional investors. Those market participants tell the Fed they have only slightly increased their forecasts for interest rates since late January. Surveys now indicate that investors and traders expect rates to be five basis points higher at the end of 2023, or one-fifth of a rate increase. In contrast, market-based estimates have increased by 50 basis points, implying two rate increases.</p><p>So what’s responsible for the discrepancy? It could be that a large group of investors that aren’t surveyed are betting on quicker rate increases, or investors and traders could be hedging against a range of possibilities for Fed interest-rate hikes whether or not they believe they will come. Or traders could be saying one thing and doing another.</p><p><b>The Fed knows it has options if money-market rates keep falling.</b></p><p>Another issue that came up in the Fed’s discussions was&nbsp;declining money-market rates. Plenty of cash has already been sloshing around the U.S. financial system looking for a home, as the Treasury Department reduces its bill issuance and its cash balance ahead of the debt-ceiling reinstatement this summer. Plus, the reinstatement of some regulatory requirements may push more cash away from global banks and into money-market funds instead.</p><p>Officials have partly addressed this issue already, with a technical tweak of one of their policy tools called the overnight reverse-repurchase (or repo) facility.</p><p>The facility provides a place for money-market funds to put their cash overnight at a 0% rate. That is meant to prevent those funds from sending too much cash into short-term Treasury bills or repo markets, which could boost demand so much in those markets that interest rates fall below zero.</p><p>The Fed said at its last meeting that each money-market counterparty can pledge $80 billion of cash with its facility overnight, up from $30 billion previously. According to the meeting minutes, a few FOMC members said they would support lifting the limit altogether.</p><p><b>Inflation forecasts carry much less weight than results.</b></p><p>Fed Chairman Powell addressed this in his&nbsp;press conference after the Fed’s latest meeting. But the minutes didn’t include much indication of worry about runaway inflation, or any hints of dissent in officials’ desire to wait for stronger inflation to appear before tightening policy.</p><p>That matters because some Wall Street hawks have focused on&nbsp;this year’s steady rise in market inflation forecasts&nbsp;as a sign that the Fed may fall behind the curve, so to speak, and end up raising interest rates too late to prevent harmful inflation. But analysts at BCA Research have found that in times when the Fed’s favored inflation gauge averages around its target, market forecasts usually average around 2.3% to 2.5%.</p><p>“Participants also noted the importance of communicating to the public that…the path of the federal-funds rate and the balance sheet depend on actual progress toward reaching the Committee’s maximum-employment and inflation goals,” Wednesday’s meeting minutes said. “In particular, various participants noted that changes in the path of policy should be based primarily on observed outcomes rather than forecasts.”</p><p>That should provide some assurance to investors who are concerned about the market’s&nbsp;five-year inflation forecasts&nbsp;rising to around 2.5%.</p><p><b>A few officials are starting to worry about “financial imbalances.”</b></p><p>A noninflation concern that was given slightly more airtime in the meeting minutes was the possibility of excess in financial markets, given stock markets near record highs, Treasury yields low, and some&nbsp;riskier companies paying near-record-low costs to borrow.</p><p>“A couple of participants expressed concern that highly accommodative financial conditions could lead to excessive risk-taking and the buildup of financial imbalances,” the minutes said.</p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

But analysts at BCA Research have found that in times when the Fed’s favored inflation gauge averages around its target, market forecasts usually average around 2.3% to 2.5%.“Participants also noted the importance of communicating to the public that…the path of the federal-funds rate and the balance sheet depend on actual progress toward reaching the Committee’s maximum-employment and inflation goals,” Wednesday’s meeting minutes said. “In particular, various participants noted that changes in the path of policy should be based primarily on observed outcomes rather than forecasts.”That should provide some assurance to investors who are concerned about the market’s five-year inflation forecasts rising to around 2.5%.A few officials are starting to worry about “financial imbalances.”A noninflation concern that was given slightly more airtime in the meeting minutes was the possibility of excess in financial markets, given stock markets near record highs, Treasury yields low, and some riskier companies paying near-record-low costs to borrow.“A couple of participants expressed concern that highly accommodative financial conditions could lead to excessive risk-taking and the buildup of financial imbalances,” the minutes said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":372,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":341324275,"gmtCreate":1617785289297,"gmtModify":1704703088079,"author":{"id":"3572682061977022","authorId":"3572682061977022","name":"Weichao","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572682061977022","authorIdStr":"3572682061977022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/341324275","repostId":"2125453847","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2125453847","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1617785145,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2125453847?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-07 16:45","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"China's March forex reserves fall to $3.17 trillion","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2125453847","media":"Reuters","summary":"BEIJING, April 7 - China’s foreign exchange reserves fell more than expected in March, official data","content":"<p>BEIJING, April 7 - China’s foreign exchange reserves fell more than expected in March, official data showed on Wednesday, as the dollar posted a gain against a basket of major currencies.</p><p>The country’s foreign exchange reserves - the world’s largest - fell $34.97 billion to $3.17 trillion last month, compared with the $3.19 trillion expected by a Reuters poll of analysts and $3.205 trillion in February.</p><p>Foreign inflows into Chinese stocks and bonds have been strong as China gallops ahead of other major economies in its recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.</p><p>The yuan fell 1.28% against the dollar in March, while the dollar rose 2.52% in March against a basket of other major currencies.</p><p>China held 62.64 million fine troy ounces of gold at the end of March, unchanged from the end-February.</p><p>The value of China’s gold reserves fell to $105.93 billion at the end of March from $109.18 billion at the end-February.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

And Then Blew Up","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1180941072","media":"zerohedge","summary":"One week after the biggest, and most spectacular hedge fund collapse since LTCM, we now have an (alm","content":"<p>One week after the biggest, and most spectacular hedge fund collapse since LTCM, we now have an (almost) clear picture of how Bill Hwang’s Archegos family office managed to single-handedly make a boring media stock the best performing company of 2021, but then when its luck suddenly ended it was margin called into extinction, leading to billions in losses for the banks that enabled what Bloomberg has dubbed its<i>\"leveraged blowout.\"</i></p><p>Thanks to detailed reports by theFinancial TimesandBloomberg, we now have the missing pieces to complete the picture of the biggest hedge fund implosion of the 21st century.</p><p>As a reminder, and as wepreviously discussed, we already knew<i><b>how</b></i>Archegos was building up stakes in its various holdings: unlike most other investors, the fund never actually owned the underlying stock or even calls on the stock, but rather transacted by purchasing equity swaps known as Total Return Swaps (TRS) or Certificates For Difference (CFD). Similar to Credit Default Swaps, TRS exposed Archegos to the daily variation margin on the underlying stock, and as such while the fund would benefit economically from increases in the underlying stock price (and, inversely, would be hit by price drops forcing it to put up more cash as margin any day the stock price dropped) it would<i><b>never be the actual owner of record</b></i>of the underlying stock. Instead, the stock that Archegos was long would be \"owned\" by its prime broker, the same entity that allowed it to enter into TRS in the first place. As such<b>Archegos also never had any disclosure requirements</b>, allowing it to transact completely in the dark while being fully compliant with SEC disclosure requirements -<i>since it didn't own the underlying stock, Archegos did not have to disclose it.</i><b>Simple and brilliant.</b></p><p>This part is important because the lack of a documented trail of ownership to Archegos is what enabled the entire Ponzi bezzle... and the staggering leverage the fund applied to its portfolio. Furthermore, well aware that there was almost no way to verify just how much of a given stock he owned, Hwang proceeded to have nearly identical positions with not one, not two but at least<i><b>eight</b></i>prime brokers (the final number is still being determined as more and more come out of the woodwork).</p><p>Not that Archegos prime brokers were completely clueless as to what was going on.</p><p>As Bloomberg reports, while much of the investing world watched in stunned silence how an \"old media\" company - ViacomCBS - shot up almost 300% in weeks, becoming the best performing stock in the S&amp;P500 and prompting investors to speculate that the stock was was either undervalued,<i><b>or</b></i>like GameStop,<i><b>or</b></i>a takeover target, a handful of execs at Wall Street's top trading firms were aware of what was behind the move: it was Archegos Capital Management, who was building a massive position in&nbsp;ViacomCBS and a handful of other stocks...<b>using leverage the same banks so generously offered with stock which the banks themselves technically owned!</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b2673e53795d60481c007d7f7d30c147\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"293\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">But while banks around the world - from<i>Goldman, Morgan Stanley and Wells in the US, to Credit Susse, UBS and Deutsche Bank in Europe, to Nomura and Mitsubishi UFJ in Japan</i>- kept giving Hwang the leverage he needed to acquire more and more of the stock, until he became the biggest<i><b>economic</b></i>if not<i><b>registered</b></i>owner of Viacom, what they did<i>not</i>know - thanks to the was Total Return Swaps are structured - was the full extent of his wagers. Which were massive:<i>he stealthily amassed $10 billion of Viacom</i>.</p><p>Viacom was just one of many: using even more TRS and even more leverage across even more Prime Brokers, Archegos was able to place colossal wagers while avoiding the disclosures required of most investors. And so<b>\"almost invisibly\" Hwang accumulated a portfolio which according to Bloomberg sources was as much as</b><b><u>$100 billion</u></b><b>!</b></p><p>Eventually, Archegos built positions in at least nine stocks that were big enough to rank him among the largest holders, fueled by a level of bank leverage that would have been unusual even for a hedge fund.</p><p>While we previously discussed the leverage aspect of Archegos strategy, here it is again: with Bill Hwuang managing approximately $10BN in assets under management, the multiple Total Return Swaps with unwitting prime brokers allowed the fund to build up a staggering $100 billion in positions, implying a huge 10x leverage. This is the kind of leverage one associated with the likes of financial titans likeCitadel and Millennium, not a smallish family office which has zero downside protection (as we would eventually learn).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e3436444c8e02081d1822cb0823fc1f1\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"285\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">What is amazing about this unilateral Ponzi scheme is that it relied on what we have dubbed<i><b>rehypothecated leverage</b></i>: the fund<i>never even owned the underlying stock which was layered with billions in generous Prime Broker debt</i>, but it was Archegos' Prime Brokers who not only would own the actual stock<b>but would also allow Hwang to add tens of billions in leverage... on an asset that they owned!</b></p><p>What is also remarkable is that Archegos' ponzi scheme could have continued indefinitely if only Viacom stock had i) continue to rise or ii) avoided a crash. After all, having ignited the initial upward moment, Archegos had effectively forced benchmark-tracking investors, exchange-traded funds, CTAs and other momentum investors to buy as well.</p><p>Sadly for Hwang (and his Primer Brokers) the upward momentum ended with a bang last Monday, when with its shares trading at $100, Viacom announced a $3BN stock sale, which hammered the stock, followed by a round of analyst downgrades, which sent the stock tumbling. It was at this point that Archegos was now facing tens of billions in margin calls on its VIACA Total Return Swaps from its Prime Brokers.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0543d0f74cfb9ce4e0ca6662b0f012a7\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"293\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">And therein lies the rub, because when the time came to unwind the Archegos Ponzi, the Prime Brokers' counterparty was not Archegos but other Prime Brokers. This is what led to the infamous meeting late last Thursday, where a bunch of PBs tried to reach an amicable resolution ahead of Friday's bloodbath. As Bloomberg adds, at several points during those exchanges, bankers implored Hwang to buy himself breathing room by selling some stocks and raising cash to post collateral. But \"he wouldn’t budge.\"</p><p>As a result, Morgan Stanley and Goldman promptly started dumping blocks of stock backing Archegos TRS in the open market. In doing so the started a margin call liquidation, in which those who sold first - like Goldman, Morgan Stanley and Deutsche - would avoid massive losses, while those who waited like Nomura and Credit Suisse...<i>would not.</i>Indeed, we already knew that Nomura, Japan’s largest investment bank, said its losses could hit $2Bn, while losses at Credit Suisse could be as large as $4Bn according to the FT.</p><p>At this point, many questions popped up, especially (and belatedly) inside the banks themselves: as theFT reports, executives within the prime brokerage divisions of at least two banks \"<b>are being quizzed by risk managers over why they offered a business as small as Archegos tens of billions of dollars of leverage on trades in volatile equities through swaps contracts,</b>.\"</p><p>As the FT further notes, echoing what we said above, while prime brokerage clients typically provide few details about their other trading activities, \"executives from at least two of the six banks are investigating whether Hwang deliberately misled them or withheld vital information about mirror positions he had built up at rival banks, according to people involved in the probes.\"</p><p>Well, no: Archegos did not mislead anyone. He simply used (and abused) a system where - as we put it - one investor can create as much rehypothecated leverage as the investors' banks and Prime Brokers will allow him. In this case we know the number may have been as high as a mindblowing $90 billion.</p><p>Naturally, had the banks known that<i><b>in a worst case scenario they would be facing other banks-</b></i>since such replicated, or rather rehypothecated position would magnify the risks on each of the trades making a bank less likely to extend so much credit against them&nbsp; - none of this would have been possible. However, as long as everything was going up, and all of Archegos positions were pleasasntly surging nobody seemed to care... or bother to calculate just how big the downside risk was (one can thank the Fed Put for that).</p><p>One final remarkable aspect of this whole story is that this is not Hwang's first crisis. In 2012 he submitted a&nbsp;guilty plea on behalf of his hedge fund to a charge of wire fraud, and he resolved related civil claims of insider trading without&nbsp;admitting or denying wrongdoing. Archegos is the family office he formed after winding down that firm, Tiger Asia Management.</p><p>However, as if nothing had ever happened, prime brokerages immediately began lining&nbsp;up to&nbsp;help the new business. Morgan Stanley was among his early backers.&nbsp;Deutsche Bank signed him as a client at the urging of at least one senior executive, according to Bloomberg, \"who was unperturbed by the insider-trading taint and didn’t believe Hwang had done anything wrong, according to a person familiar with that decision.\" Ironically, just a few years later,<b>Hwang did something wrong and it would prove to be the biggest hedge fund collapse in post-LTCM history.</b></p><p>Not every bank acted like an idiot: one firm resisted the lure. Archegos approached JPMorgan sometime between 2016 and 2018 and was rebuffed, according to the Bloomberg report. At the time, JPMorgan was still revamping the equity prime-brokerage unit it had acquired with Bear Stearns during the 2008 financial crisis. \"Dumb luck or not, the bank dodged a bullet.\"</p><p>The rest of the story is mostly known, so now what.</p><p>Well, aswe first hintedand as Bloomberg reports, already regulators are dropping hints of new rules to come, with SEC officials signaling to banks that they intend to make trading disclosures from hedge funds a higher priority, while also finding ways to address risk and leverage.</p><blockquote><i>Senior finance executives acknowledge that a crackdown of some form, whether on borrowing or transparency or both, is inevitable.</i></blockquote><p>Amusingly, and picking up on the FT's reporting, Bloomberg also notes that while some of those firms have disclosed the financial impact of their roles in the Archegos collapse,<b>none is willing to comment on how or why they enabled Hwang to become such a force in the market.</b>After all what can they say: \"the other guys vetted him, so we assumed he was clean\"...</p><p>There are also questions whether Hwang’s counterparties knew about his relationships with other banks and the scale of the leverage he was using for what appear to be concentrated positions in a handful of companies. And - more ominously - if they did not know anything about his exposure,<b>why the hell not?</b>As wereported on Tuesday, JPMorgan (which successfully managed to avoid this scandal completely) estimated that the Prime Brokers facing Archegos may end up<b>absorbing as much as $10 billion in combined losses.</b></p><p>Already credit rating agencies have downgraded outlooks for Credit Suisse and Nomura, citing concerns over “the quality of risk management” while activist investors are demanding better governance and would not mind if senior execs were summarily fired over this episode to restore confidence.</p><p>\"Risk controls still are not where they should be,\" David Herro, one of Credit Suisse’s biggest shareholders, said Wednesday in a Bloomberg TV&nbsp;interview. \"Hopefully, this is a wake-up call to expedite the cultural change that is needed in this company.\"</p><p>But going back to Bloomberg's original point, for all their silence the prime-brokerage units of&nbsp;Nomura,&nbsp;Goldman Sachs,&nbsp;Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse and others,<b>had clues about what Archegos was doing.</b>These firms knew about the trades they had financed, of course, and also had some visibility into his total borrowings. And yet they didn't bother to ask about what, if any, risk management was being implemented to avoid an uncontrolled unwind. Or rather,<i><b>the questions emerged only after the margin call.</b></i></p><p>What the Prime Brokers also didn't know is that Hwang was taking parallel positions at multiple firms, piling more leverage onto the same few stocks, which brings us back to our<i><b>rehypothecated leverage</b></i>concept which we are confident we will use much more in the coming months, especially since \"unwinding a series of large, leveraged bets placed by a single account is one thing; doing so when rival banks are liquidating the same positions held by the same client is quite another.\"</p><p>Archegos' own \"Lehman moment\" came late on March 25 when Hwang’s prime brokers met again and discussed the possibility of standing down temporarily to let tensions ease, as we reported previously, but any attempt at solidarity proved short-lived: shortly after some PBs sent Archegos notices of default, clearing the way for Goldman and Morgan Stanley to dump Hwang's positions.</p><p>“Hopefully this will cause the prime brokerages of regulated banking organizations (and their supervisors) to re-assess their relationships with highly leveraged hedge funds,” former FDIC chair Sheila Bair tweeted.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b70d4570bcc92554dba7f9d5db168422\" tg-width=\"470\" tg-height=\"335\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">She is, of course, wrong.</p><p>In fact, if anything we expect Prime Brokers will make leverage<i>even easier to obtain for non-bank, hedge fund and family office clients</i>, because the one big mistake Archegos (and its Prime Brokers) made was that it was not big and systemic enough to merit a Fed bailout. Now, if Archegos had a portfolio of $200 billion, $300 billion or more, while usingCitadel's 50x leverage,<b>now we're talking \"size\"...</b>size enough for the Fed to step in and make everyone whole on the back of taxpayers... the same way the Fed bailed out Citadel, Millennium and Point72 in September 2019 during the repo crisis (as bothZero Hedgeand subsequentlyBloomberg, explained).</p><p>There is another reason nothing will change: hedge funds, Prime Brokers, banks - in fact the Fed itself - are all incentivized to<i><u><b>not</b></u></i>look at what skeletons may be found in the closet. Why? Because if the banks are forced to admit that there are more Archegos funds -<i><u><b>and there are countless</b></u></i>- Prime Brokers will have no choice but to sequester collateral from more clients, sparking more margin calls, leading to more stock liquidations, and resulting in even bigger investor panic.

Similar to Credit Default Swaps, TRS exposed Archegos to the daily variation margin on the underlying stock, and as such while the fund would benefit economically from increases in the underlying stock price (and, inversely, would be hit by price drops forcing it to put up more cash as margin any day the stock price dropped) it wouldnever be the actual owner of recordof the underlying stock. Instead, the stock that Archegos was long would be \"owned\" by its prime broker, the same entity that allowed it to enter into TRS in the first place. As suchArchegos also never had any disclosure requirements, allowing it to transact completely in the dark while being fully compliant with SEC disclosure requirements -since it didn't own the underlying stock, Archegos did not have to disclose it.Simple and brilliant.This part is important because the lack of a documented trail of ownership to Archegos is what enabled the entire Ponzi bezzle... and the staggering leverage the fund applied to its portfolio. Furthermore, well aware that there was almost no way to verify just how much of a given stock he owned, Hwang proceeded to have nearly identical positions with not one, not two but at leasteightprime brokers (the final number is still being determined as more and more come out of the woodwork).Not that Archegos prime brokers were completely clueless as to what was going on.As Bloomberg reports, while much of the investing world watched in stunned silence how an \"old media\" company - ViacomCBS - shot up almost 300% in weeks, becoming the best performing stock in the S&P500 and prompting investors to speculate that the stock was was either undervalued,orlike GameStop,ora takeover target, a handful of execs at Wall Street's top trading firms were aware of what was behind the move: it was Archegos Capital Management, who was building a massive position in ViacomCBS and a handful of other stocks...using leverage the same banks so generously offered with stock which the banks themselves technically owned!But while banks around the world - fromGoldman, Morgan Stanley and Wells in the US, to Credit Susse, UBS and Deutsche Bank in Europe, to Nomura and Mitsubishi UFJ in Japan- kept giving Hwang the leverage he needed to acquire more and more of the stock, until he became the biggesteconomicif notregisteredowner of Viacom, what they didnotknow - thanks to the was Total Return Swaps are structured - was the full extent of his wagers. Which were massive:he stealthily amassed $10 billion of Viacom.Viacom was just one of many: using even more TRS and even more leverage across even more Prime Brokers, Archegos was able to place colossal wagers while avoiding the disclosures required of most investors. And so\"almost invisibly\" Hwang accumulated a portfolio which according to Bloomberg sources was as much as$100 billion!Eventually, Archegos built positions in at least nine stocks that were big enough to rank him among the largest holders, fueled by a level of bank leverage that would have been unusual even for a hedge fund.While we previously discussed the leverage aspect of Archegos strategy, here it is again: with Bill Hwuang managing approximately $10BN in assets under management, the multiple Total Return Swaps with unwitting prime brokers allowed the fund to build up a staggering $100 billion in positions, implying a huge 10x leverage. This is the kind of leverage one associated with the likes of financial titans likeCitadel and Millennium, not a smallish family office which has zero downside protection (as we would eventually learn).What is amazing about this unilateral Ponzi scheme is that it relied on what we have dubbedrehypothecated leverage: the fundnever even owned the underlying stock which was layered with billions in generous Prime Broker debt, but it was Archegos' Prime Brokers who not only would own the actual stockbut would also allow Hwang to add tens of billions in leverage... on an asset that they owned!What is also remarkable is that Archegos' ponzi scheme could have continued indefinitely if only Viacom stock had i) continue to rise or ii) avoided a crash. After all, having ignited the initial upward moment, Archegos had effectively forced benchmark-tracking investors, exchange-traded funds, CTAs and other momentum investors to buy as well.Sadly for Hwang (and his Primer Brokers) the upward momentum ended with a bang last Monday, when with its shares trading at $100, Viacom announced a $3BN stock sale, which hammered the stock, followed by a round of analyst downgrades, which sent the stock tumbling. It was at this point that Archegos was now facing tens of billions in margin calls on its VIACA Total Return Swaps from its Prime Brokers.And therein lies the rub, because when the time came to unwind the Archegos Ponzi, the Prime Brokers' counterparty was not Archegos but other Prime Brokers. This is what led to the infamous meeting late last Thursday, where a bunch of PBs tried to reach an amicable resolution ahead of Friday's bloodbath. As Bloomberg adds, at several points during those exchanges, bankers implored Hwang to buy himself breathing room by selling some stocks and raising cash to post collateral. But \"he wouldn’t budge.\"As a result, Morgan Stanley and Goldman promptly started dumping blocks of stock backing Archegos TRS in the open market. In doing so the started a margin call liquidation, in which those who sold first - like Goldman, Morgan Stanley and Deutsche - would avoid massive losses, while those who waited like Nomura and Credit Suisse...would not.Indeed, we already knew that Nomura, Japan’s largest investment bank, said its losses could hit $2Bn, while losses at Credit Suisse could be as large as $4Bn according to the FT.At this point, many questions popped up, especially (and belatedly) inside the banks themselves: as theFT reports, executives within the prime brokerage divisions of at least two banks \"are being quizzed by risk managers over why they offered a business as small as Archegos tens of billions of dollars of leverage on trades in volatile equities through swaps contracts,.\"As the FT further notes, echoing what we said above, while prime brokerage clients typically provide few details about their other trading activities, \"executives from at least two of the six banks are investigating whether Hwang deliberately misled them or withheld vital information about mirror positions he had built up at rival banks, according to people involved in the probes.\"Well, no: Archegos did not mislead anyone. He simply used (and abused) a system where - as we put it - one investor can create as much rehypothecated leverage as the investors' banks and Prime Brokers will allow him. In this case we know the number may have been as high as a mindblowing $90 billion.Naturally, had the banks known thatin a worst case scenario they would be facing other banks-since such replicated, or rather rehypothecated position would magnify the risks on each of the trades making a bank less likely to extend so much credit against them  - none of this would have been possible. However, as long as everything was going up, and all of Archegos positions were pleasasntly surging nobody seemed to care... or bother to calculate just how big the downside risk was (one can thank the Fed Put for that).One final remarkable aspect of this whole story is that this is not Hwang's first crisis. In 2012 he submitted a guilty plea on behalf of his hedge fund to a charge of wire fraud, and he resolved related civil claims of insider trading without admitting or denying wrongdoing. Archegos is the family office he formed after winding down that firm, Tiger Asia Management.However, as if nothing had ever happened, prime brokerages immediately began lining up to help the new business. Morgan Stanley was among his early backers. Deutsche Bank signed him as a client at the urging of at least one senior executive, according to Bloomberg, \"who was unperturbed by the insider-trading taint and didn’t believe Hwang had done anything wrong, according to a person familiar with that decision.\" Ironically, just a few years later,Hwang did something wrong and it would prove to be the biggest hedge fund collapse in post-LTCM history.Not every bank acted like an idiot: one firm resisted the lure. Archegos approached JPMorgan sometime between 2016 and 2018 and was rebuffed, according to the Bloomberg report. At the time, JPMorgan was still revamping the equity prime-brokerage unit it had acquired with Bear Stearns during the 2008 financial crisis. \"Dumb luck or not, the bank dodged a bullet.\"The rest of the story is mostly known, so now what.Well, aswe first hintedand as Bloomberg reports, already regulators are dropping hints of new rules to come, with SEC officials signaling to banks that they intend to make trading disclosures from hedge funds a higher priority, while also finding ways to address risk and leverage.Senior finance executives acknowledge that a crackdown of some form, whether on borrowing or transparency or both, is inevitable.Amusingly, and picking up on the FT's reporting, Bloomberg also notes that while some of those firms have disclosed the financial impact of their roles in the Archegos collapse,none is willing to comment on how or why they enabled Hwang to become such a force in the market.After all what can they say: \"the other guys vetted him, so we assumed he was clean\"...There are also questions whether Hwang’s counterparties knew about his relationships with other banks and the scale of the leverage he was using for what appear to be concentrated positions in a handful of companies. And - more ominously - if they did not know anything about his exposure,why the hell not?As wereported on Tuesday, JPMorgan (which successfully managed to avoid this scandal completely) estimated that the Prime Brokers facing Archegos may end upabsorbing as much as $10 billion in combined losses.Already credit rating agencies have downgraded outlooks for Credit Suisse and Nomura, citing concerns over “the quality of risk management” while activist investors are demanding better governance and would not mind if senior execs were summarily fired over this episode to restore confidence.\"Risk controls still are not where they should be,\" David Herro, one of Credit Suisse’s biggest shareholders, said Wednesday in a Bloomberg TV interview. \"Hopefully, this is a wake-up call to expedite the cultural change that is needed in this company.\"But going back to Bloomberg's original point, for all their silence the prime-brokerage units of Nomura, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse and others,had clues about what Archegos was doing.These firms knew about the trades they had financed, of course, and also had some visibility into his total borrowings. And yet they didn't bother to ask about what, if any, risk management was being implemented to avoid an uncontrolled unwind. Or rather,the questions emerged only after the margin call.What the Prime Brokers also didn't know is that Hwang was taking parallel positions at multiple firms, piling more leverage onto the same few stocks, which brings us back to ourrehypothecated leverageconcept which we are confident we will use much more in the coming months, especially since \"unwinding a series of large, leveraged bets placed by a single account is one thing; doing so when rival banks are liquidating the same positions held by the same client is quite another.\"Archegos' own \"Lehman moment\" came late on March 25 when Hwang’s prime brokers met again and discussed the possibility of standing down temporarily to let tensions ease, as we reported previously, but any attempt at solidarity proved short-lived: shortly after some PBs sent Archegos notices of default, clearing the way for Goldman and Morgan Stanley to dump Hwang's positions.“Hopefully this will cause the prime brokerages of regulated banking organizations (and their supervisors) to re-assess their relationships with highly leveraged hedge funds,” former FDIC chair Sheila Bair tweeted.She is, of course, wrong.In fact, if anything we expect Prime Brokers will make leverageeven easier to obtain for non-bank, hedge fund and family office clients, because the one big mistake Archegos (and its Prime Brokers) made was that it was not big and systemic enough to merit a Fed bailout. Now, if Archegos had a portfolio of $200 billion, $300 billion or more, while usingCitadel's 50x leverage,now we're talking \"size\"...size enough for the Fed to step in and make everyone whole on the back of taxpayers... the same way the Fed bailed out Citadel, Millennium and Point72 in September 2019 during the repo crisis (as bothZero Hedgeand subsequentlyBloomberg, explained).There is another reason nothing will change: hedge funds, Prime Brokers, banks - in fact the Fed itself - are all incentivized tonotlook at what skeletons may be found in the closet. Why? Because if the banks are forced to admit that there are more Archegos funds -and there are countless- Prime Brokers will have no choice but to sequester collateral from more clients, sparking more margin calls, leading to more stock liquidations, and resulting in even bigger investor panic. Call it a side effect of building castles on crooked foundations in an artificial, fake, Fed-supported market.Is another market panic what the Fed wants? Or what the Biden admin wants? Of course not.Which is why we will get a token Congressional hearing where politicians care more to hear themselves talk than listen to the answers, the banks will slap a few hands, one or two small sacrificial hedge funds will be shut down, and the world will move on, especially once Archegos is no longer on the front page of the financial media.It's also why when the next major hedge fund implosion does happen, it will be far more catastrophic.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":181,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":357658456,"gmtCreate":1617270882475,"gmtModify":1704698083074,"author":{"id":"3572682061977022","authorId":"3572682061977022","name":"Weichao","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572682061977022","authorIdStr":"3572682061977022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/357658456","repostId":"2124087672","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2124087672","pubTimestamp":1617269112,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2124087672?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-01 17:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Big Growth Stocks to Buy on the Dip for Q2 and Beyond","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2124087672","media":"Zacks","summary":"The first quarter of 2021 was a wild ride, with the Nasdaq soaring to new highs in mid-February only","content":"<p>The first quarter of 2021 was a wild ride, with the Nasdaq soaring to new highs in mid-February only to fall into a correction, down 10% from its highs, in just under a month.

Snap topped our Q4 estimates in early February, with its daily active users up 22% year-over-year to 265 million. Overall, Snap’s FY20 revenue climbed 46% to $2.51 billion.

SNAP is up 370% in the past 12 months and 100% in the last six. But it got caught up in the wave of tech selling that hit nearly every high-flyer, with it down 25% from its late February records.

Even as things return closer to normal by the summer as the vaccine is rolled out, it’s unclear how quickly people will run back to crowded gyms, particularly if they have grown accustomed to working out from home. And there is no reason why many of Peloton’s wealthier customers won’t simply choose to do both down the road.</p>\n<p>Peloton was founded in 2012 and went public in the fall of 2019. The company currently sells different tiers of connected bikes and treadmills starting at $1,895 for the bike and $2,495 for the tread, with the new + offerings costing far more. The firm also allows users to make monthly payments to make it more attainable for many.</p>\n<p>Perhaps most importantly, PTON makes money from its $39 per month All-Access Memberships. Meanwhile, people who don’t own Peloton equipment can pay $12.99 a month for a digital membership that allows them to take classes for indoor cycling, running, strength, and more. Plus, PTON was growing before the pandemic within a group of higher-end connected fitness products that includes Mirror, which athleisure giant Lululemon LULU bought for $500 million and many others—even Apple AAPL has jumped into the field.</p>\n<p>Peloton in December agreed to buy commercial fitness-equipment company Precor Inc. for $420 million.

It also trades at a discount to its own 7.2X median over the last year and LULU’s 7.4X and the stock sits underneath neutral RSI levels.</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>2 Big Growth Stocks to Buy on the Dip for Q2 and Beyond</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n2 Big Growth Stocks to Buy on the Dip for Q2 and Beyond\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-01 17:25 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.zacks.com/stock/news/1326195/2-big-growth-stocks-to-buy-on-the-dip-for-q2-and-beyond?art_rec=home-home-investment_ideas_stocks-ID01-txt-1178353><strong>Zacks</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The first quarter of 2021 was a wild ride, with the Nasdaq soaring to new highs in mid-February only to fall into a correction, down 10% from its highs, in just under a month.

Meanwhile, the Dow and the S&P 500 climbed to records, as Wall Street rotated into cyclical sectors such as finance, energy, and other economic rebound plays.\nThe market movement reflects the optimism about the possibility of 6% or higher U.S. GDP growth in 2021 and the hope that people will be able to return to something closer to their normal in 2021 as the coronavirus vaccine is rolled out. The injection of trillions of dollars into the U.S. economy and the Fed’s easy money policy has also brought about the return of inflation worries that led to the flurry of bond selling.\nYet even with the 10-year U.S. Treasury above pre-pandemic levels at 1.75%, it remains well below the 3% that yields hit in 2018 and ultra-low by historical standards. This likely extends there is no alternative investing. And the market ended the first quarter on a high note, as the Nasdaq continues to chop around after bulls bought the dip on March 8, while the S&P 500 touched new highs on March 31.\nLet’s also remember that the earnings picture continues to improve. All of this could mean that despite some of the recent volatility, investors with long-term horizons might want to buy beaten-down pandemic winners with strong growth outlooks at big discounts as we head into the second quarter (also read: The Return of Strong Earnings Growth)…\n\nSnap Inc. SNAP\nSnap has bolstered its social media app that became famous for its disappearing photos and videos. The company has rolled out far more video content and shows and has partnerships with Disney DIS, the NFL, celebrities like Kevin Hart, and more.\nSnapchat’s Discover page has gained traction and it’s been in the booming mobile gaming market for roughly two years now. The company also constantly releases various augmented reality offerings and it launched its Spotlight feature late last year that aims to take on TikTok.\nSnap’s beefed-up portfolio of entertainment offerings has attracted advertisers as more people disconnect from ad-supported legacy media in favor of Netflix NFLX and simply ignore more traditional online banner ads. Investors should also know that Snap has boasted that in the U.S. it reaches “more than 90% of 13 to 24 year-olds and more than 75% of 13 to 34 year-olds.” In fact, the company said that “over 90% of the U.S. Gen Z population watched Shows and publisher content in Q4 2020.”\nSnap’s ability to reach this “unduplicated and hard-to-reach audience” has attracted Wall Street’s attention, as it continues to add users and monetize its growing platform, as Facebook FB and other internet giants face further government scrutiny. Snap topped our Q4 estimates in early February, with its daily active users up 22% year-over-year to 265 million. Overall, Snap’s FY20 revenue climbed 46% to $2.51 billion. This marked its third-straight year of roughly 45% sales growth, and its outlook remains impressive.\n\nZacks estimates call for Snap’s FY21 revenue to surge over 52% to reach $3.82 billion, with FY22 projected to climb another 45% to reach $5.53 billion. Meanwhile, it’s expected to soar from an adjusted loss of -$0.06 a share last year to +$0.12 in fiscal 2021, with 2022 set to skyrocket to +$0.57 a share.\nThe nearby chart showcases Wall Street’s recent love for the stock that had largely failed to impress since it went public in 2017. SNAP is up 370% in the past 12 months and 100% in the last six. But it got caught up in the wave of tech selling that hit nearly every high-flyer, with it down 25% from its late February records. This includes its 5% jump on Wednesday to close regular hours at $52.29 a share.\nThe stock also sits well below neutral levels in terms of RSI at 42. On the valuation front, Snap trades at a 33% discount to its own year-long highs in terms of forward 12-month sales. Snap has also consistently traded at a discount to fellow high-flyers Shopify's SHOP 29.8X and Zoom Video's ZM 23.4X.\nSnap currently lands a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) based on some mixed earnings revisions activity. Yet, 19 of the 27 brokerage recommendations Zacks has for Snap are “Strong Buys.” And investors might want to consider buying the modern media platform that plays into overall smartphone addiction.\nPeloton Interactive, Inc. PTON \nPeloton is a high-end, high-tech stationary bike and treadmill firm that raced to popularity as gyms closed. Even as things return closer to normal by the summer as the vaccine is rolled out, it’s unclear how quickly people will run back to crowded gyms, particularly if they have grown accustomed to working out from home. And there is no reason why many of Peloton’s wealthier customers won’t simply choose to do both down the road.\nPeloton was founded in 2012 and went public in the fall of 2019. The company currently sells different tiers of connected bikes and treadmills starting at $1,895 for the bike and $2,495 for the tread, with the new + offerings costing far more. The firm also allows users to make monthly payments to make it more attainable for many.\nPerhaps most importantly, PTON makes money from its $39 per month All-Access Memberships. Meanwhile, people who don’t own Peloton equipment can pay $12.99 a month for a digital membership that allows them to take classes for indoor cycling, running, strength, and more. Plus, PTON was growing before the pandemic within a group of higher-end connected fitness products that includes Mirror, which athleisure giant Lululemon LULU bought for $500 million and many others—even Apple AAPL has jumped into the field.\nPeloton in December agreed to buy commercial fitness-equipment company Precor Inc. for $420 million. The move is projected to help improve its manufacturing capacity as it has struggled to keep up with the massive pandemic-driven demand that caused long wait times for many customers. The deal is also expected to see it break into commercial spaces like hotels and condo buildings.\n\nThe company topped our Q2 fiscal 2021 estimates in early February, with its connected fitness subscriptions up 134% to roughly 1.67 million and paid digital subscriptions up 472% to 625,000. Meanwhile, its revenue climbed 128% to $1.1 billion. Looking ahead, Zacks estimates call for its Q3 revenue to climb 113%, with its full-year fiscal 2021 sales set to surge 125% to $4.10 billion, which would come on top of FY20’s 100% revenue expansion.\nThe company is then projected to grow its FY22 revenue by another 34% or $1.4 billion to reach $5.1 billion. At the bottom end of the income statement, PTON is expected to swing from an adjusted loss of -$0.32 a share last year to +$0.30, with FY22 set to soar 180% to $0.84 a share.\nLike SNAP, Peloton’s mixed EPS revisions help it land a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at the moment, but it has topped our bottom-line estimate by an average of 105% in the trailing three periods. And 19 of the 23 broker rating Zacks has are “Strong Buys.”\nAll of this growth has helped PTON stock soar 320% during the last year. Peloton’s performance includes a big pullback from its mid-January records and it closed Wednesday at $112.44 a share, or 33% below its highs. This downturn has made its valuation appear far stronger, with it trading at a slight discount to its Consumer Discretionary industry at 6.1X forward sales, despite its huge outperformance. It also trades at a discount to its own 7.2X median over the last year and LULU’s 7.4X and the stock sits underneath neutral RSI levels.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":291,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":354235372,"gmtCreate":1617177183796,"gmtModify":1704696816220,"author":{"id":"3572682061977022","authorId":"3572682061977022","name":"Weichao","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572682061977022","authorIdStr":"3572682061977022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/354235372","repostId":"1163996400","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1163996400","pubTimestamp":1617094880,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1163996400?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-30 17:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Coursera: The Education Disruptor Goes Public","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1163996400","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"SummaryThe company is growing rapidly as a result of secular trends as well as the Covid-19 pandemic","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>The company is growing rapidly as a result of secular trends as well as the Covid-19 pandemic.</li><li>It is operating in a huge addressable market that is likely to grow for the foreseeable future.</li><li>Coursera enjoys many competitive advantages, among them a large, existing user base, price-to-cost advantages, and the ability to personalize content as a result of its trove of data.</li><li>Given its scale, and competitive advantages, the company should win an outsized share of its market opportunity.</li><li>However, because the company has not turned a profit, there is a chance that its stock may be too volatile in the near term.

The Mountain View, California-based company offers individuals access to over 4,000 Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) from 200 educational institutions and corporations. The company also offers over two dozen degree programs at prices lower than what a learner would pay at a traditional, in-person institution. As the company grows its offering, it will be able to compete head-to-head with other “online program management” (OPM) providers, such as 2U(NASDAQ:TWOU), which is already publicly traded, and Noodle Partners.</p><p>Ng’sshareholder letter in the S-1articulated clearly just what the company is about:</p><blockquote>“We believe that education is the source of human progress. In today’s economy in which the skills needed to succeed are rapidly evolving, education is becoming more important than ever. As automation and digital disruption are poised to replace unprecedented numbers of jobs worldwide, giving workers the opportunity to upskill and reskill will be crucial to raising global living standards and increasing social equity. Online education will play a critical role, enabling anyone, anywhere, to gain the valuable skills they need to earn a living in an increasingly digital economy.”</blockquote><p>The filing lists Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup as underwriters. The number of shares and the price range of the proposed offering are yet to be determined.According to PitchBook data, Coursera’s most recent valuation in the private markets was $2.5 billion. To date, the company has raised $464 million in venture capital, most recently,$130 million in a Series F roundlast July. Coursera’s biggest institutional shareholders are New Enterprise Associates (18.3% of company stock), G Squared (15.9%) and Kleiner Perkins (9.2%).</p><p><b>Operating Results</b></p><p>The company earned $293 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, up 59% from 2019. Net losses widened by about $20 million year-on-year, reaching $66.8 million in 2020. Revenues shot up as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic’s effect on traditional education. In tandem with rising demand, operating costs associated with the company’s services rose, largely driven by the freemium content and marketing expenses. Coursera added over 12,000 new degree learners across the two years ended December 31, 2020 at an average acquisition cost of just below $2,000. The number of registered users rose by 65% year-on-year in 2020. Coursera’s accumulated deficit since its founding stood at $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The company does not expect to turn a profit in the foreseeable future.</p><p>The company’sCoursera for Campus,launched in late 2019to enable colleges to offer its library of MOOCs to their students, has been a key driver of recent revenue growth. At the start of the pandemic, Coursera made the program free to tertiary institutions until Sept. 30, 2020. Over 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world signed up for the program, which, according to the company’s S-1 filing, makes it, “one of our fastest growing offerings”. As of December 31, 2020, over 130 tertiary institutions were paying for it.</p><p>At this point, it is hard to predict what the end of the pandemic would have on the company’s operating results.</p><p><b>The Strategy and Market Opportunity</b></p><p>Coursera is one of the most disruptive firms in the world. It has a flywheel approach to value creation, with significant price-to-cost advantages versus its competition. The company reported that about half of its new degree students in 2020 had been previously registered with Coursera and that its average student acquisition cost was less than $2,000. Its average student acquisition cost is lower than the industry standard. The edu-tech platform is able to efficiently acquire learners at scale because of the huge number of free, high-quality courses that it offers in partnership with top educational institutions and corporations; its ability to personalize content based on its wealth of data; the strength of word-of-mouth promotion by learners; the profitability of its affiliate paid marketing channel.</p><p>The platform offers a number of education tracks, for example:</p><ul><li>Specializations: A learner can pay between $39 and $99 a month for job-specific content across over 500 categories.</li><li>MasterTrack Certificates: For a quarter to a year, a learner can earn a certificate issued by a university-issued certificate. Prices range from $2,000 to $6,000.</li><li>Bachelor’s or Master’s Degrees: Fees range from $9,000 to $45,000.</li><li>Coursera for Enterprise: Through this platform, businesses, educational institutions and governments can deploy content to their learners.</li></ul><p>In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Coursera partnered with over 330 government agencies across 30 U.S. states and cities and 70 countries as part of itsCoursera Workforce Recovery Initiative, which gave governments the chance to offer unemployed workers free access to thousands of business, data science, and technology courses from companies such as Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL).</p><p>The company has 77 million registered learners, as well as over 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies who paid for its enterprise offerings. The majority of its revenue (51%) was earned outside of the United States. Converting only a fraction of its 77 million registered users into paid users would change the economics of customer acquisition. The company’s present scale is a huge competitive advantage in the market.</p><p>A learner’s curriculum is designed to be “stackable”, which is to say that a learner can go through a domain in an incremental fashion. The company is able to leverage the huge volume of data it has accumulated from its over 220 million enrollments to personalize content. So, for example, Coursera’s Skills Graphs can suggest paths for job skills.</p><p>Coursera uses technology to drive down distribution costs, make content more affordable, extend access to less economically-endowed regions, help learners keep abreast of emerging skills, and grow its market opportunity. The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated secular trends towards the use of technology in education.</p><p>The size of the addressable market is massive and it’s easy to see why.An August 2020 study by the United Nationsdemonstrates the degree of disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic: of the 1.6 billion students in 190 countries covered in the report, or 94% of the world’s students, were prevented from going to school because of Covid-19 pandemic related school closures.</p><p>In 2017, the World Bank indicated thatof the 200 million college students in the world, many do not have job-specific skills.</p><p>The Covid-19 pandemic and prior secular trends suggest that the future of education is in blended classrooms, job-specific education and continuous, lifelong education. Online learning platforms like Coursera will be the primary means through which educational content is delivered.</p><p>Globally, spending on higher education in 2019 was $2.2 trillion,according to HolonIQ. Spending on online degrees was $36 billion and is predicted to reach $74 billion by 2025.</p><p>With a huge, existing learner base; a strong brand; and the significant advantages detailed above, Coursera is likely to grab a significant amount of the market’s growth. Of thescenarios for the future of education, it seems that Coursera will continue to grow.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>Coursera seems poised to meet the challenges of a changing education landscape. With its vast, existing user base, its flywheel model, its competitive advantages, and its existence in a huge and growing addressable market, the company is likely to do very well. The company’s value proposition is compelling. However, long run success does not equate to a good investment in the short run. An unprofitable company like Coursera is likely to be very volatile on the markets until it reaches profitability. It is better to wait for Coursera to turn a profit before investing in the company.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Coursera: The Education Disruptor Goes Public</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\">\nCoursera: The Education Disruptor Goes Public\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-30 17:01 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4413745-coursera-education-disruptor-goes-public><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryThe company is growing rapidly as a result of secular trends as well as the Covid-19 pandemic.It is operating in a huge addressable market that is likely to grow for the foreseeable future....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4413745-coursera-education-disruptor-goes-public\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cedd6cbf23bbe97eaec389fb0773ed6","relate_stocks":{"COUR":"Coursera, Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4413745-coursera-education-disruptor-goes-public","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1163996400","content_text":"SummaryThe company is growing rapidly as a result of secular trends as well as the Covid-19 pandemic.It is operating in a huge addressable market that is likely to grow for the foreseeable future.Coursera enjoys many competitive advantages, among them a large, existing user base, price-to-cost advantages, and the ability to personalize content as a result of its trove of data.Given its scale, and competitive advantages, the company should win an outsized share of its market opportunity.However, because the company has not turned a profit, there is a chance that its stock may be too volatile in the near term. Buying when the company turns a profit is the safer bet.Coursera (COURS), the online learning platform founded in 2012 by former Stanford University computer science professors Daphne Koller and Andrew Ng, filed itsIPO prospectuswith the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Mountain View, California-based company offers individuals access to over 4,000 Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) from 200 educational institutions and corporations. The company also offers over two dozen degree programs at prices lower than what a learner would pay at a traditional, in-person institution. As the company grows its offering, it will be able to compete head-to-head with other “online program management” (OPM) providers, such as 2U(NASDAQ:TWOU), which is already publicly traded, and Noodle Partners.Ng’sshareholder letter in the S-1articulated clearly just what the company is about:“We believe that education is the source of human progress. In today’s economy in which the skills needed to succeed are rapidly evolving, education is becoming more important than ever. As automation and digital disruption are poised to replace unprecedented numbers of jobs worldwide, giving workers the opportunity to upskill and reskill will be crucial to raising global living standards and increasing social equity. Online education will play a critical role, enabling anyone, anywhere, to gain the valuable skills they need to earn a living in an increasingly digital economy.”The filing lists Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup as underwriters. The number of shares and the price range of the proposed offering are yet to be determined.According to PitchBook data, Coursera’s most recent valuation in the private markets was $2.5 billion. To date, the company has raised $464 million in venture capital, most recently,$130 million in a Series F roundlast July. Coursera’s biggest institutional shareholders are New Enterprise Associates (18.3% of company stock), G Squared (15.9%) and Kleiner Perkins (9.2%).Operating ResultsThe company earned $293 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, up 59% from 2019. Net losses widened by about $20 million year-on-year, reaching $66.8 million in 2020. Revenues shot up as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic’s effect on traditional education. In tandem with rising demand, operating costs associated with the company’s services rose, largely driven by the freemium content and marketing expenses. Coursera added over 12,000 new degree learners across the two years ended December 31, 2020 at an average acquisition cost of just below $2,000. The number of registered users rose by 65% year-on-year in 2020. Coursera’s accumulated deficit since its founding stood at $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The company does not expect to turn a profit in the foreseeable future.The company’sCoursera for Campus,launched in late 2019to enable colleges to offer its library of MOOCs to their students, has been a key driver of recent revenue growth. At the start of the pandemic, Coursera made the program free to tertiary institutions until Sept. 30, 2020. Over 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world signed up for the program, which, according to the company’s S-1 filing, makes it, “one of our fastest growing offerings”. As of December 31, 2020, over 130 tertiary institutions were paying for it.At this point, it is hard to predict what the end of the pandemic would have on the company’s operating results.The Strategy and Market OpportunityCoursera is one of the most disruptive firms in the world. It has a flywheel approach to value creation, with significant price-to-cost advantages versus its competition. The company reported that about half of its new degree students in 2020 had been previously registered with Coursera and that its average student acquisition cost was less than $2,000. Its average student acquisition cost is lower than the industry standard. The edu-tech platform is able to efficiently acquire learners at scale because of the huge number of free, high-quality courses that it offers in partnership with top educational institutions and corporations; its ability to personalize content based on its wealth of data; the strength of word-of-mouth promotion by learners; the profitability of its affiliate paid marketing channel.The platform offers a number of education tracks, for example:Specializations: A learner can pay between $39 and $99 a month for job-specific content across over 500 categories.MasterTrack Certificates: For a quarter to a year, a learner can earn a certificate issued by a university-issued certificate. Prices range from $2,000 to $6,000.Bachelor’s or Master’s Degrees: Fees range from $9,000 to $45,000.Coursera for Enterprise: Through this platform, businesses, educational institutions and governments can deploy content to their learners.In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Coursera partnered with over 330 government agencies across 30 U.S. states and cities and 70 countries as part of itsCoursera Workforce Recovery Initiative, which gave governments the chance to offer unemployed workers free access to thousands of business, data science, and technology courses from companies such as Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL).The company has 77 million registered learners, as well as over 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies who paid for its enterprise offerings. The majority of its revenue (51%) was earned outside of the United States. Converting only a fraction of its 77 million registered users into paid users would change the economics of customer acquisition. The company’s present scale is a huge competitive advantage in the market.A learner’s curriculum is designed to be “stackable”, which is to say that a learner can go through a domain in an incremental fashion. The company is able to leverage the huge volume of data it has accumulated from its over 220 million enrollments to personalize content. So, for example, Coursera’s Skills Graphs can suggest paths for job skills.Coursera uses technology to drive down distribution costs, make content more affordable, extend access to less economically-endowed regions, help learners keep abreast of emerging skills, and grow its market opportunity. The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated secular trends towards the use of technology in education.The size of the addressable market is massive and it’s easy to see why.An August 2020 study by the United Nationsdemonstrates the degree of disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic: of the 1.6 billion students in 190 countries covered in the report, or 94% of the world’s students, were prevented from going to school because of Covid-19 pandemic related school closures.In 2017, the World Bank indicated thatof the 200 million college students in the world, many do not have job-specific skills.The Covid-19 pandemic and prior secular trends suggest that the future of education is in blended classrooms, job-specific education and continuous, lifelong education. Online learning platforms like Coursera will be the primary means through which educational content is delivered.Globally, spending on higher education in 2019 was $2.2 trillion,according to HolonIQ. Spending on online degrees was $36 billion and is predicted to reach $74 billion by 2025.With a huge, existing learner base; a strong brand; and the significant advantages detailed above, Coursera is likely to grab a significant amount of the market’s growth. Of thescenarios for the future of education, it seems that Coursera will continue to grow.ConclusionCoursera seems poised to meet the challenges of a changing education landscape. With its vast, existing user base, its flywheel model, its competitive advantages, and its existence in a huge and growing addressable market, the company is likely to do very well. The company’s value proposition is compelling. However, long run success does not equate to a good investment in the short run. An unprofitable company like Coursera is likely to be very volatile on the markets until it reaches profitability. It is better to wait for Coursera to turn a profit before investing in the company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":146,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":355007550,"gmtCreate":1617010374970,"gmtModify":1704800782313,"author":{"id":"3572682061977022","authorId":"3572682061977022","name":"Weichao","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572682061977022","authorIdStr":"3572682061977022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/355007550","repostId":"1178234813","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":163,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":108586422,"gmtCreate":1620041573466,"gmtModify":1704337735764,"author":{"id":"3572682061977022","authorId":"3572682061977022","name":"Weichao","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572682061977022","authorIdStr":"3572682061977022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"O","listText":"O","text":"O","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/108586422","repostId":"1135819410","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1135819410","pubTimestamp":1619999342,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1135819410?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-03 07:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Uber, Pfizer, PayPal, T-Mobile, ViacomCBS, General Motors, and Other Stocks for Investors to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1135819410","media":"Barrons","summary":"It’s another packed week of earnings reports, with 130 S&P 500 companies on deck to release their fi","content":"<p>It’s another packed week of earnings reports, with 130 S&amp;P 500 companies on deck to release their first-quarter results.

First positioning is extremely bearish not just in the stock market where hedge funds are holding record short levels of futures but also in the options market where a great number of put option positions have been accumulated.</p><h2>Risk appetite</h2><p>Behind this a number of risk appetite indicators are still in very risk averse territory suggesting that on balance many investors are positioned for bad news. What is interesting here is that the stock market and the bond market have effectively stopped reacting to bad news.</p><p>The earnings season has been a case in point both <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a> and Meta or the old Facebook were severely marked down on earnings disappointments as were <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOOG\">Google</a> and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft</a> during last week&#39;s critical week for tech earnings but the broad market index rallied, in particular the Dow Jones index was very strong.</p><p>This suggests that the stock market is moving on from some of the concerns it had earlier this year, also with inflation still high there are signs that bond yields are coming in from the extreme high levels of the past couple of weeks - the 10 year bond is now close to the 4% level, a level that&#39;s still painful for stocks, but it has arguably hit a recent high.</p><h2>Earnings</h2><p>Importantly the dollar has softened and in many cases this year currency markets have prefigured stress across other asset classes so the case is building for a bear market rally into the end of the year. Seasonally also November December tend to be quite a strong periods for the stock market particularly in the case of bull markets - which however this is not.</p><p>There&#39;s a number of other factors to consider this week we have the Fed meeting there were expectations of a Fed pivot or even a pause that they&#39;ll do a 50 basis point rise in interest rates and then stop and watch as the data comes in and a lot of cyclical data has been softening suggesting that the economy is beginning to slow and the Fed can expect this to have a downward pressure on consumer and service prices.</p><p>In terms of market action the most likely factor is that volatility comes down for the time being and this will hurt a lot of people playing in the options market - a lot of people who&#39;ve hedged and in turn it may have a technical upward pressure on the stock market and it would be no surprise for me to see the S&amp;P index trade up to and maybe a little bit beyond the 4000 level.</p><p>What does worry me looking out over the next six months is that in the context of a lot of geopolitical stress and growing damage to economy - not just in Europe where Germany is suffering but many emerging markets from Turkey to some across Asia Latin America the housing market in the US is that in the beginning of next year we go into a form of a credit crisis where huge levels of accumulated debt on country balance sheets company balance sheets and consumer balance sheets are troubled by the catalyst of high inflation and high interest rates and this in its own way produces a deeper economic and financial crisis and then we get some real volatility.</p></body></html>","source":"fors","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

What is interesting here is that the stock market and the bond market have effectively stopped reacting to bad news.The earnings season has been a case in point both Amazon and Meta or the old Facebook were severely marked down on earnings disappointments as were Google and Microsoft during last week's critical week for tech earnings but the broad market index rallied, in particular the Dow Jones index was very strong.This suggests that the stock market is moving on from some of the concerns it had earlier this year, also with inflation still high there are signs that bond yields are coming in from the extreme high levels of the past couple of weeks - the 10 year bond is now close to the 4% level, a level that's still painful for stocks, but it has arguably hit a recent high.EarningsImportantly the dollar has softened and in many cases this year currency markets have prefigured stress across other asset classes so the case is building for a bear market rally into the end of the year. Seasonally also November December tend to be quite a strong periods for the stock market particularly in the case of bull markets - which however this is not.There's a number of other factors to consider this week we have the Fed meeting there were expectations of a Fed pivot or even a pause that they'll do a 50 basis point rise in interest rates and then stop and watch as the data comes in and a lot of cyclical data has been softening suggesting that the economy is beginning to slow and the Fed can expect this to have a downward pressure on consumer and service prices.In terms of market action the most likely factor is that volatility comes down for the time being and this will hurt a lot of people playing in the options market - a lot of people who've hedged and in turn it may have a technical upward pressure on the stock market and it would be no surprise for me to see the S&P index trade up to and maybe a little bit beyond the 4000 level.What does worry me looking out over the next six months is that in the context of a lot of geopolitical stress and growing damage to economy - not just in Europe where Germany is suffering but many emerging markets from Turkey to some across Asia Latin America the housing market in the US is that in the beginning of next year we go into a form of a credit crisis where huge levels of accumulated debt on country balance sheets company balance sheets and consumer balance sheets are troubled by the catalyst of high inflation and high interest rates and this in its own way produces a deeper economic and financial crisis and then we get some real volatility.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":243,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":341324275,"gmtCreate":1617785289297,"gmtModify":1704703088079,"author":{"id":"3572682061977022","authorId":"3572682061977022","name":"Weichao","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572682061977022","authorIdStr":"3572682061977022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/341324275","repostId":"2125453847","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":267,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":349109913,"gmtCreate":1617571271832,"gmtModify":1704700410931,"author":{"id":"3572682061977022","authorId":"3572682061977022","name":"Weichao","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572682061977022","authorIdStr":"3572682061977022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/349109913","repostId":"1188150614","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1188150614","pubTimestamp":1617366389,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1188150614?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-02 20:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Beaten-Down Stocks That Could Double Your Money","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1188150614","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Market rotation malaise has infected many investors.

Its shares soared over 145% year to date by the third week of February. Since then, though, thehealthcare stockhas fallen more than 35%.</p>\n<p>Part of the problem was the aforementioned general sell-off of growth stocks. However, DermTech also provided disappointing guidance in its fourth-quarter update. The company expects first-quarter assay revenue of between $1.6 million and $1.9 million compared to Q4 assay revenue of $1.6 million.</p>\n<p>DermTech still faces some COVID-19 headwinds in reaching out to physicians. The company's long-term growth prospects remain bright, though. DermTech continues to pick up commercial payer reimbursement for its first product, Pigmented Lesion Assay (PLA). It expects to launch an at-home genomics test that identifies ultraviolet ray damage and skin cancer risk next year.</p>\n<p>The total addressable U.S. market that DermTech is targeting for all types of skin cancer is around $10 billion. With the company's market cap currently below $1.5 billion, DermTech should only have to capture a tiny sliver of this market to deliver huge returns for investors.</p>\n<p><b>Gores Holdings VI</b></p>\n<p>Special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) stocks were wildly popular not long ago. That's changed quite a bit.&nbsp;<b>Gores Holdings VI</b>(NASDAQ:GHVI)serves as a great example: The SPAC's shares skyrocketed more than 120% year to date by mid-February but are now down over 40% from those highs.</p>\n<p>Gores Holdings VI and spatial data company Matterport announced on Feb. 8 that they plan to merge in a deal that will take Matterport public at an equity value of around $2.9 billion.

SNAP</b></p>\n<p>Snap has bolstered its social media app that became famous for its disappearing photos and videos. The company has rolled out far more video content and shows and has partnerships with Disney DIS, the NFL, celebrities like Kevin Hart, and more.</p>\n<p>Snapchat’s Discover page has gained traction and it’s been in the booming mobile gaming market for roughly two years now. The company also constantly releases various augmented reality offerings and it launched its Spotlight feature late last year that aims to take on TikTok.</p>\n<p>Snap’s beefed-up portfolio of entertainment offerings has attracted advertisers as more people disconnect from ad-supported legacy media in favor of Netflix NFLX and simply ignore more traditional online banner ads. Investors should also know that Snap has boasted that in the U.S. it reaches “more than 90% of 13 to 24 year-olds and more than 75% of 13 to 34 year-olds.” In fact, the company said that “over 90% of the U.S. Gen Z population watched Shows and publisher content in Q4 2020.”</p>\n<p>Snap’s ability to reach this “unduplicated and hard-to-reach audience” has attracted Wall Street’s attention, as it continues to add users and monetize its growing platform, as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a> FB and other internet giants face further government scrutiny. Snap topped our Q4 estimates in early February, with its daily active users up 22% year-over-year to 265 million. Overall, Snap’s FY20 revenue climbed 46% to $2.51 billion. This marked its third-straight year of roughly 45% sales growth, and its outlook remains impressive.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/76a8d4b050d8d2faaa33523c1ce55a26\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Zacks estimates call for Snap’s FY21 revenue to surge over 52% to reach $3.82 billion, with FY22 projected to climb another 45% to reach $5.53 billion. Meanwhile, it’s expected to soar from an adjusted loss of -$0.06 a share last year to +$0.12 in fiscal 2021, with 2022 set to skyrocket to +$0.57 a share.</p>\n<p>The nearby chart showcases Wall Street’s recent love for the stock that had largely failed to impress since it went public in 2017. SNAP is up 370% in the past 12 months and 100% in the last six. But it got caught up in the wave of tech selling that hit nearly every high-flyer, with it down 25% from its late February records. This includes its 5% jump on Wednesday to close regular hours at $52.29 a share.</p>\n<p>The stock also sits well below neutral levels in terms of RSI at 42. On the valuation front, Snap trades at a 33% discount to its own year-long highs in terms of forward 12-month sales. Snap has also consistently traded at a discount to fellow high-flyers Shopify's SHOP 29.8X and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZM\">Zoom</a> Video's ZM 23.4X.</p>\n<p>Snap currently lands a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) based on some mixed earnings revisions activity. Yet, 19 of the 27 brokerage recommendations Zacks has for Snap are “Strong Buys.” And investors might want to consider buying the modern media platform that plays into overall smartphone addiction.</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PTON\">Peloton Interactive, Inc.</a> PTON </b></p>\n<p>Peloton is a high-end, high-tech stationary bike and treadmill firm that raced to popularity as gyms closed. Even as things return closer to normal by the summer as the vaccine is rolled out, it’s unclear how quickly people will run back to crowded gyms, particularly if they have grown accustomed to working out from home. And there is no reason why many of Peloton’s wealthier customers won’t simply choose to do both down the road.</p>\n<p>Peloton was founded in 2012 and went public in the fall of 2019. The company currently sells different tiers of connected bikes and treadmills starting at $1,895 for the bike and $2,495 for the tread, with the new + offerings costing far more. The firm also allows users to make monthly payments to make it more attainable for many.</p>\n<p>Perhaps most importantly, PTON makes money from its $39 per month All-Access Memberships. Meanwhile, people who don’t own Peloton equipment can pay $12.99 a month for a digital membership that allows them to take classes for indoor cycling, running, strength, and more. Plus, PTON was growing before the pandemic within a group of higher-end connected fitness products that includes Mirror, which athleisure giant Lululemon LULU bought for $500 million and many others—even Apple AAPL has jumped into the field.</p>\n<p>Peloton in December agreed to buy commercial fitness-equipment company Precor Inc. for $420 million. The move is projected to help improve its manufacturing capacity as it has struggled to keep up with the massive pandemic-driven demand that caused long wait times for many customers. The deal is also expected to see it break into commercial spaces like hotels and condo buildings.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://s1.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/eO5o5u8C.4BqbYYItaLnmQ--/cT03NTthcHBpZD15dmlkZW9mZWVkczs-/https://media.zenfs.com/en/zacks.com/1f3c629638326212256dafd8ffb92a8d\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>The company topped our Q2 fiscal 2021 estimates in early February, with its connected fitness subscriptions up 134% to roughly 1.67 million and paid digital subscriptions up 472% to 625,000. Meanwhile, its revenue climbed 128% to $1.1 billion. Looking ahead, Zacks estimates call for its Q3 revenue to climb 113%, with its full-year fiscal 2021 sales set to surge 125% to $4.10 billion, which would come on top of FY20’s 100% revenue expansion.</p>\n<p>The company is then projected to grow its FY22 revenue by another 34% or $1.4 billion to reach $5.1 billion. At the bottom end of the income statement, PTON is expected to swing from an adjusted loss of -$0.32 a share last year to +$0.30, with FY22 set to soar 180% to $0.84 a share.</p>\n<p>Like SNAP, Peloton’s mixed EPS revisions help it land a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at the moment, but it has topped our bottom-line estimate by an average of 105% in the trailing three periods.

Meanwhile, the Dow and the S&P 500 climbed to records, as Wall Street rotated into cyclical sectors such as finance, energy, and other economic rebound plays.\nThe market movement reflects the optimism about the possibility of 6% or higher U.S. GDP growth in 2021 and the hope that people will be able to return to something closer to their normal in 2021 as the coronavirus vaccine is rolled out. The injection of trillions of dollars into the U.S. economy and the Fed’s easy money policy has also brought about the return of inflation worries that led to the flurry of bond selling.\nYet even with the 10-year U.S. Treasury above pre-pandemic levels at 1.75%, it remains well below the 3% that yields hit in 2018 and ultra-low by historical standards. This likely extends there is no alternative investing. And the market ended the first quarter on a high note, as the Nasdaq continues to chop around after bulls bought the dip on March 8, while the S&P 500 touched new highs on March 31.\nLet’s also remember that the earnings picture continues to improve. All of this could mean that despite some of the recent volatility, investors with long-term horizons might want to buy beaten-down pandemic winners with strong growth outlooks at big discounts as we head into the second quarter (also read: The Return of Strong Earnings Growth)…\n\nSnap Inc. SNAP\nSnap has bolstered its social media app that became famous for its disappearing photos and videos. The company has rolled out far more video content and shows and has partnerships with Disney DIS, the NFL, celebrities like Kevin Hart, and more.\nSnapchat’s Discover page has gained traction and it’s been in the booming mobile gaming market for roughly two years now. The company also constantly releases various augmented reality offerings and it launched its Spotlight feature late last year that aims to take on TikTok.\nSnap’s beefed-up portfolio of entertainment offerings has attracted advertisers as more people disconnect from ad-supported legacy media in favor of Netflix NFLX and simply ignore more traditional online banner ads. Investors should also know that Snap has boasted that in the U.S. it reaches “more than 90% of 13 to 24 year-olds and more than 75% of 13 to 34 year-olds.” In fact, the company said that “over 90% of the U.S. Gen Z population watched Shows and publisher content in Q4 2020.”\nSnap’s ability to reach this “unduplicated and hard-to-reach audience” has attracted Wall Street’s attention, as it continues to add users and monetize its growing platform, as Facebook FB and other internet giants face further government scrutiny. Snap topped our Q4 estimates in early February, with its daily active users up 22% year-over-year to 265 million. Overall, Snap’s FY20 revenue climbed 46% to $2.51 billion. This marked its third-straight year of roughly 45% sales growth, and its outlook remains impressive.\n\nZacks estimates call for Snap’s FY21 revenue to surge over 52% to reach $3.82 billion, with FY22 projected to climb another 45% to reach $5.53 billion. Meanwhile, it’s expected to soar from an adjusted loss of -$0.06 a share last year to +$0.12 in fiscal 2021, with 2022 set to skyrocket to +$0.57 a share.\nThe nearby chart showcases Wall Street’s recent love for the stock that had largely failed to impress since it went public in 2017. SNAP is up 370% in the past 12 months and 100% in the last six. But it got caught up in the wave of tech selling that hit nearly every high-flyer, with it down 25% from its late February records. This includes its 5% jump on Wednesday to close regular hours at $52.29 a share.\nThe stock also sits well below neutral levels in terms of RSI at 42. On the valuation front, Snap trades at a 33% discount to its own year-long highs in terms of forward 12-month sales. Snap has also consistently traded at a discount to fellow high-flyers Shopify's SHOP 29.8X and Zoom Video's ZM 23.4X.\nSnap currently lands a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) based on some mixed earnings revisions activity. Yet, 19 of the 27 brokerage recommendations Zacks has for Snap are “Strong Buys.” And investors might want to consider buying the modern media platform that plays into overall smartphone addiction.\nPeloton Interactive, Inc. PTON \nPeloton is a high-end, high-tech stationary bike and treadmill firm that raced to popularity as gyms closed. Even as things return closer to normal by the summer as the vaccine is rolled out, it’s unclear how quickly people will run back to crowded gyms, particularly if they have grown accustomed to working out from home. And there is no reason why many of Peloton’s wealthier customers won’t simply choose to do both down the road.\nPeloton was founded in 2012 and went public in the fall of 2019. The company currently sells different tiers of connected bikes and treadmills starting at $1,895 for the bike and $2,495 for the tread, with the new + offerings costing far more. The firm also allows users to make monthly payments to make it more attainable for many.\nPerhaps most importantly, PTON makes money from its $39 per month All-Access Memberships. Meanwhile, people who don’t own Peloton equipment can pay $12.99 a month for a digital membership that allows them to take classes for indoor cycling, running, strength, and more. Plus, PTON was growing before the pandemic within a group of higher-end connected fitness products that includes Mirror, which athleisure giant Lululemon LULU bought for $500 million and many others—even Apple AAPL has jumped into the field.\nPeloton in December agreed to buy commercial fitness-equipment company Precor Inc. for $420 million. The move is projected to help improve its manufacturing capacity as it has struggled to keep up with the massive pandemic-driven demand that caused long wait times for many customers. The deal is also expected to see it break into commercial spaces like hotels and condo buildings.\n\nThe company topped our Q2 fiscal 2021 estimates in early February, with its connected fitness subscriptions up 134% to roughly 1.67 million and paid digital subscriptions up 472% to 625,000. Meanwhile, its revenue climbed 128% to $1.1 billion. Looking ahead, Zacks estimates call for its Q3 revenue to climb 113%, with its full-year fiscal 2021 sales set to surge 125% to $4.10 billion, which would come on top of FY20’s 100% revenue expansion.\nThe company is then projected to grow its FY22 revenue by another 34% or $1.4 billion to reach $5.1 billion. At the bottom end of the income statement, PTON is expected to swing from an adjusted loss of -$0.32 a share last year to +$0.30, with FY22 set to soar 180% to $0.84 a share.\nLike SNAP, Peloton’s mixed EPS revisions help it land a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at the moment, but it has topped our bottom-line estimate by an average of 105% in the trailing three periods. And 19 of the 23 broker rating Zacks has are “Strong Buys.”\nAll of this growth has helped PTON stock soar 320% during the last year. Peloton’s performance includes a big pullback from its mid-January records and it closed Wednesday at $112.44 a share, or 33% below its highs. This downturn has made its valuation appear far stronger, with it trading at a slight discount to its Consumer Discretionary industry at 6.1X forward sales, despite its huge outperformance. It also trades at a discount to its own 7.2X median over the last year and LULU’s 7.4X and the stock sits underneath neutral RSI levels.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":291,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":366571573,"gmtCreate":1614524405992,"gmtModify":1704772246957,"author":{"id":"3572682061977022","authorId":"3572682061977022","name":"Weichao","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572682061977022","authorIdStr":"3572682061977022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/366571573","repostId":"1117820997","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1117820997","pubTimestamp":1614337504,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1117820997?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-26 19:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Coinbase IPO: 5 things to know about the U.S. cryptocurrency exchange","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1117820997","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"A long-awaited public offering of Coinbase Global Inc. appears near after the cryptocurrency trading","content":"<p>A long-awaited public offering of Coinbase Global Inc. appears near after the cryptocurrency trading platform filed paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday.</p>\n<p>Coinbase&nbsp;plans to list on the Nasdaq Inc. exchange&nbsp;under the ticker symbol “COIN,” with the aim of employing a nontraditional direct listing to take itself public.

Coinbase attempts to make it clear that its fate is linked to the prospects for Bitcoin and ethereum and the thousands of other alternative coins that have been written into existence.</p>\n<p>But a decline in interest and tough regulations in the U.S. and elsewhere could wallop the exchange platform.</p>\n<p>Here’s now Coinbase explains it:</p>\n<p>“<i>There is no assurance that any supported crypto asset will maintain its value or that there will be meaningful levels of trading activities. In the event that the price of crypto assets or the demand for trading crypto assets decline, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected. A majority of our net revenue is from transactions in Bitcoin and ethereum. If demand for these crypto assets declines and is not replaced by new demand for crypto assets, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected</i>,” Coinbase writes in its S-1 filing.</p>\n<p><b>How large is Coinbase?</b></p>\n<p>The crypto exchange platform ranks No. 3 among the largest digital asset exchanges in the world, according to data site CoinMarketCap.com. That ranking puts it behind Binance, based in Seattle and Huobi Global, a Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange that was founded in China.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/183f3996adecd36a47a1b191cf6d3ca6\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"453\"><span>COINMARKETCAP.COM</span></p>\n<p>In the U.S. Coinbase is by far the most well-known crypto platform but there are competitors, including Gemini, run by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who famously used their Facebook Inc.&nbsp;settlements to invest in bitcoins.</p>\n<p>Kraken is another popular crypto platform and direct competitor in the U.S.</p>\n<p><b>Odds &amp; Ends</b></p>\n<p>The company in its public filing offered a number of homages to the founder or founders of bitcoin and the digital currency age in its submission.</p>\n<p>For example, it listed the genesis block associated with Satoshi Nakamoto at “1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa,” whose white paper back in 2008 set bitcoin in motion. (Additionally, a “Satoshi” is the smallest unit of bitcoin—0.00000001 BTC).</p>\n<p>The company offers no physical address for its headquarters in California, citing the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced a number of companies to have most, if not all, of its staffers work remotely. For that reason, Coinbase refers to itself as “a remote-first company.”</p>\n<p>However, having no address to some was viewed as aligning with the decentralized nature of blockchain and bitcoins.</p>\n<p>The company also offered a handy primer on cryptocurrency terms, including defining terms like “hodl,” which have become popular in crypto circles.

Armstrong owns 11% of the Class A shares and 22% of the Class B shares, while Ehrsam owns 11.4% of the Class A and 9% of the Class B.\nAccording to Forbes, Armstrong’s networth is currently $6.5 billion based on his ownership in the company, which is likely to increase if the direct listing goes off successfully.\nCoinbase bills itself as a bet on the rapidly growing cryptoeconomy, which starts with the No. 1 crypto asset bitcoin but goes well beyond that, Armstrong and company argue.\nCOINBASE S-1\nBitcoin prices have gained attention as it has soared to repeated records, most recently touching a recent peak above $58,000 over the weekend before beginning to give up some gains in recent trade.\nLast week, bitcoin hit a market value of $1 trillion and even though the asset created by a person or persons known as Satoshi Nakamoto represents about 70% of the total crypto market, there are still a number of other popular crypto assets trading on Coinbase, including ether on Ethereum’s blockchain, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin,to name a few.\nWho else owns Coinbase?\nVenture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, is the largest owner of Coinbase, boasting about 25% of Class A shares and14% of Class B. And Marc Andreessen, head of the venture capital outfit, sits on Coinbase’s board.\nCoinbase has an ambitions echo those of Robinhood Markets\n“Coinbase is company with an ambitious vision: to create more economic freedom for every person and business,” Armstrong wrote in a letter appended to the company’s public-filing paperwork with the SEC.\nBiggest risk factor\nNo doubt the biggest risk factor in Coinbase is that it is a bet on an unproven asset class that was created just over a decade ago. Coinbase attempts to make it clear that its fate is linked to the prospects for Bitcoin and ethereum and the thousands of other alternative coins that have been written into existence.\nBut a decline in interest and tough regulations in the U.S. and elsewhere could wallop the exchange platform.\nHere’s now Coinbase explains it:\n“There is no assurance that any supported crypto asset will maintain its value or that there will be meaningful levels of trading activities. In the event that the price of crypto assets or the demand for trading crypto assets decline, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected. A majority of our net revenue is from transactions in Bitcoin and ethereum. If demand for these crypto assets declines and is not replaced by new demand for crypto assets, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected,” Coinbase writes in its S-1 filing.\nHow large is Coinbase?\nThe crypto exchange platform ranks No. 3 among the largest digital asset exchanges in the world, according to data site CoinMarketCap.com. That ranking puts it behind Binance, based in Seattle and Huobi Global, a Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange that was founded in China.\nCOINMARKETCAP.COM\nIn the U.S. Coinbase is by far the most well-known crypto platform but there are competitors, including Gemini, run by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who famously used their Facebook Inc. settlements to invest in bitcoins.\nKraken is another popular crypto platform and direct competitor in the U.S.\nOdds & Ends\nThe company in its public filing offered a number of homages to the founder or founders of bitcoin and the digital currency age in its submission.\nFor example, it listed the genesis block associated with Satoshi Nakamoto at “1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa,” whose white paper back in 2008 set bitcoin in motion. (Additionally, a “Satoshi” is the smallest unit of bitcoin—0.00000001 BTC).\nThe company offers no physical address for its headquarters in California, citing the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced a number of companies to have most, if not all, of its staffers work remotely. For that reason, Coinbase refers to itself as “a remote-first company.”\nHowever, having no address to some was viewed as aligning with the decentralized nature of blockchain and bitcoins.\nThe company also offered a handy primer on cryptocurrency terms, including defining terms like “hodl,” which have become popular in crypto circles. Hodl was accidentally coined in a 2013 Reddit and means long-term holder of an investment.\nSEC\nArmstrong crypto charity\nBack in 2018, Armstrong kicked off GiveCrypto.org, which makes direct cash transfers to people living in poverty.\n“People who invested early in crypto have amassed an enormous amount of wealth in a relatively short amount of time. Yet the reputation of the crypto community has been dominated by images of ‘bros in Lambos,’ whose antics get a lot of attention,”wrote Armstrong in a separate blog post on Mediumin 2018.\nArmstrong has reportedly donated at least $1 million to GiveCrypto.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":117,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":374950112,"gmtCreate":1619411398136,"gmtModify":1704723441724,"author":{"id":"3572682061977022","authorId":"3572682061977022","name":"Weichao","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572682061977022","authorIdStr":"3572682061977022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Oo","listText":"Oo","text":"Oo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/374950112","repostId":"1184404050","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1184404050","pubTimestamp":1619319329,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1184404050?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-25 10:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What to watch in the markets this week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1184404050","media":"CNBC","summary":"The last week of April will be extremely busy for markets with a third of the S&P 500 reporting earnings, a Federal Reserve meeting, and new spending and tax proposals from the White House.Big Tech is a highlight of the earnings calendar, with Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook and Alphabet all releasing results.The Fed is not expected to take any action, but economists expect it to defend its policy to let inflation run hot.There is some key data including first-quarter gross domestic product a","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSThe last week of April will be extremely busy for markets with a third of the S&P 500 reporting earnings, a Federal Reserve meeting, and new spending and tax proposals from the White House....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/23/taxes-and-inflation-will-be-key-themes-for-markets-in-the-week-ahead.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The president addresses a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening.It’s a huge week for earnings with about a third of the S&P 500 reporting, including Big Tech names, such as Apple,Microsoft,Alphabet and Amazon.As many have already done, firms like Boeing, Ford,Caterpillar and McDonald’s, are likely to detail cost pressures they are facing from rising materials and transportation costs and supply chain disruptions.At the same time, the Fed is expected to defend its policy of letting inflation run hot, while assuring markets it sees the pick-up in prices as only temporary. The central bank meets on Tuesday and Wednesday.The central bank takes the main stage“I think the Fed would like not to be a feature next week, but the Fed will be forced from the background because of concerns about inflation,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton.The central bank is not expected to make any policy moves, but Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s press briefing following the meeting Wednesday will be closely watched.So far, the barrage of earnings news has been positive, with 86% of companies reporting earnings beats. Corporate profits are expected to be up about 33.9% for the first quarter, based on estimates and actual reports, according to Refinitiv. Revenues are about 9.9% higher.There is important inflation data Friday when the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge is reported.The personal consumption expenditure report is expected to show a 1.8% rise in core inflation, still below the Fed’s target of 2%. Other data releases include the first-quarter gross domestic product on Thursday, which is expected to have grown by 6.5%, according to Dow Jones.“I think the Fed has no urgency to shift monetary policy at this point,” said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO. “The Fed needs to acknowledge that the data is improving. We had a strong first quarter.”“The Fed needs to acknowledge that but at the same time they’re keeping extremely accommodative policy in place, so they’ll have to make a note to the fact that the easy policy is warranted,” he said.Lyngen said the Fed will likely point to continued concerns about the pandemic globally as a potential risk to the economic recovery.Powell is also expected to once more explain that the Fed will let inflation rise above its 2% target for a period of time before it raises rates so that the economy can have more time to heal. “It’s going to be a challenge for the Fed,” said Swonk.The base effects for the next several months will make inflation appear to have jumped sharply because of the comparison to a weak period last year. The consumer price index for April could be above 3%, compared to 2.6% last month, Swonk added.“The Fed is trying to let a lot more people get out onto the dance floor before it calls ‘last call,’” she said. “Really what Powell has been saying since day one is if we take care of people on the margins and bring them back into the labor force, the rest will take care of itself.”Stocks were slightly lower in the past week, and Treasury yields held at lower levels. The 10-year yield,which moves opposite price, was at 1.55% Friday.The S&P 500was down 0.1%, ending the week at 4,180, while Nasdaq Composite was down nearly 0.3% at 14,016. The Dow was off just shy of 0.5% at 34,043.Tax hike prospectsStocks were hit hard on Thursday when after a news report said that Biden is expected to propose a capital gains tax rate of 39.6% for people earning more than $1 million a year.Combined with the 3.8% net investment income tax, the new levy would more than double the long term capital gains rate of 20% or the richest Americans.Strategists said Biden is expected to propose raising the income tax rate for those earning more than $400,000.“I think a lot of people are starting to price in the risk there going to be a significant increase in both corporate and capital gains taxes,” said Lyngen.So far, companies have not provided much in the way of commentary on the proposed hike in corporate taxes to 28% from 21% but they have been talking about other costs.David Bianco, chief investment strategist for the Americas at DWS, said he expects larger companies will do better dealing with supply chain constraints than smaller ones. Big Tech is also likely to fare better during the semiconductor shortage than auto makers, which have already announced production shutdowns, he said.“Next week is tech week. I think we’re going to get down on our knees and just be in awe of their business models and their ability to grow at a behemoth scale,” Bianco said.He said he’s not in favor of Wall Street’s popular trade into cyclicals and out of growth. He still favors growth.“We’re overweight equities really because we’re concerned about rising interest rates,” Bianco said. “I’m not bullish in that I expect the market to rise that much from here.”“We stuck with growth and dug deeper into bond substitutes, utilities, staples, real estate,” he said, adding he is underweight industrials, energy and materials. “Energy is doomed. It’s being nationalized via regulation. I do like industrials, they are well-run companies, but I do think infrastructure spending expectations for classic infrastructure are too high.”He also said industrials are good businesses, but the stocks have become overvalued.Bianco said he likes big box stores, but smaller retailers are facing big challenges that were already impacting them prior to Covid. He also finds small biotech firms attractive.“I like healthcare stocks. Those valuations are reasonable. People have been paranoid about politicians beating on them since 1992. They manage through it and lately they’ve been delivering,” he said.Week ahead calendarMondayEarnings:Tesla,Canadian National Railway, Canon,Check Point Software,Otis Worldwide, Vale,Ameriprise,NXP Semiconductor,Albertsons, Royal Phillips8:30 a.m. Durable goodsTuesdayFOMC begins two day meetingEarnings:Microsoft,Alphabet,Visa,Amgen,Advanced Micro Devices,3M,General Electric,Eli Lilly, Hasbro,United Parcel Service,BP,Novartis,JetBlue,Pultegroup,Archer Daniels Midland,Waste Management,Starbucks,Texas Instrument,Chubb,Mondelez,FireEye,Corning,Raytheon9:00 a.m. S&P/Case-Shiller9:00 a.m. FHFA home prices10:00 a.m. Consumer confidence10:00 a.m. Housing vacanciesWednesdayEarnings:Apple, Boeing,Facebook,Qualcomm,Ford,MGM Resorts,Humana,Norfolk Southern,General Dynamics,Boston Scientific, eBay, Samsung Electronics, GlaxoSmithKline,Yum Brands, SiriusXM, Aflac,Cheesecake Factory,Community Health System,CIT Group,Entergy,CME Group,Hess,Ryder System8:30 a.m. Advance economic indicators2:00 p.m. Fed statement2:30 p.m. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell briefingThursdayEarnings:Amazon,Caterpillar,McDonald’s,Twitter,Bristol-Myers Squibb,Comcast,Merck,Northrop Grumman, Airbus,Kraft Heinz,Intercontinental Exchange,Mastercard,Gilead Sciences,U.S. Steel, Cirrus Logic,Texas Roadhouse, Cabot Oil, PG&E,Royal Dutch Shell,Church & Dwight, Carlyle Group,Southern Co.8:30 a.m. Initial jobless claims8:30 a.m. Real GDP Q110:00 a.m. Pending home salesFridayEarnings:ExxonMobil,Chevron,Colgate-Palmolive,AstraZeneca,Clorox,Barclays, AbbVie, BNP Paribas,Weyerhaeuser,Illinois Tool Works, CBOE Global Markets, Lazard,Newell Brands,Aon,LyondellBasell,Pitney Bowes,Phillips 66,Charter Communications8:30 a.m. Personal income and spending8:30 a.m. Employment cost index Q19:45 a.m. Chicago PMI10:00 a.m. Consumer sentimentSaturdayEarnings:Berkshire Hathaway","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":725,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":322868336,"gmtCreate":1615796043725,"gmtModify":1704786579090,"author":{"id":"3572682061977022","authorId":"3572682061977022","name":"Weichao","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572682061977022","authorIdStr":"3572682061977022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/322868336","repostId":"1112124297","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1112124297","pubTimestamp":1615795862,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1112124297?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-15 16:11","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Deliveroo to Raise $1.4 Billion in IPO After Lockdown Surge","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1112124297","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- Food-delivery company Deliveroo is seeking to raise 1 billion pounds ($1.4 billion) i","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- Food-delivery company Deliveroo is seeking to raise 1 billion pounds ($1.4 billion) in a London stock market listing, buoyed by a rise in demand for its services during lockdowns.</p>\n<p>Besides the 1 billion pounds of new stock, some existing investors plan to sell shares, Deliveroo said in a statement Monday, without providing details.

As such, the stock is confined to the London Stock Exchange’s standard segment and can’t be included in benchmark indexes such as the FTSE 100, despite its expected size.</p>\n<p>The sale is part of a global surge in equity capital markets as the economy rebounds from the coronavirus pandemic thanks to ultra-low interest rates, government stimulus and the arrival of vaccines. The U.K. is headed for its biggest-ever first quarter for initial public offerings.</p>\n<p>Shares of lockdown winners have taken a hit in recent months, though, amid growing optimism that the pandemic will soon recede. Among food-delivery companies, Just Eat Takeaway.com NV has fallen 22% from its October high, while Delivery Hero SE is down 28% from a January peak.

Deliveroo, whose backers include Amazon.com Inc., was valued at more than $7 billion in a January funding round.\nDeliveroo will list with a dual-class share structure that will give founder and Chief Executive Officer Will Shu outsized voting rights for three years. As such, the stock is confined to the London Stock Exchange’s standard segment and can’t be included in benchmark indexes such as the FTSE 100, despite its expected size.\nThe sale is part of a global surge in equity capital markets as the economy rebounds from the coronavirus pandemic thanks to ultra-low interest rates, government stimulus and the arrival of vaccines. The U.K. is headed for its biggest-ever first quarter for initial public offerings.\nShares of lockdown winners have taken a hit in recent months, though, amid growing optimism that the pandemic will soon recede. Among food-delivery companies, Just Eat Takeaway.com NV has fallen 22% from its October high, while Delivery Hero SE is down 28% from a January peak. InPost SA, which operates automated parcel lockers for deliveries, has given up all its gains since surging in its Amsterdam debut in late January.\nLondon-based Deliveroo’s planned offering follows a government-backed report this month that made a slew of recommendations to reform U.K. listing rules. The proposals include allowing dual-class share structures on the premium segment of the LSE, but it could be months before these are implemented.\nAfter initially struggling at the start of lockdowns, Deliveroo got a boost as restaurants stopped providing service indoors, pushing more and more customers to order takeout meals and groceries.\nThe U.K. startup will be keen to replicate the success of U.S. peer DoorDash Inc., which surged 86% in its December trading debut. Both companies face increasing competition from rivals such as Uber Technologies Inc., with vaccine rollouts also likely to lead to a drop in at-home dining in coming months.\nCovid has accelerated the transition to online food ordering, but changed consumer behavior will drive growth even after curbs are eased, Shu said in an interview last week after the company announced its expected intention to float. The company’s gross transaction value -- the total amount of transactions processed on its platform -- rose 64% to 4.1 billion pounds in 2020.\nLockdown gains aside, margins in the sector remain thin, prompting a wave of consolidation. U.S.-based Grubhub Inc. agreed in June to be taken over by Just Eat Takeaway.com for $7.3 billion, while Uber struck a deal in July to buy Postmates Inc. for $2.65 billion.\nDeliveroo has raised 1.3 billion pounds in eight equity funding rounds through January, the company said last week in its registration document. Its shareholders include Amazon with a 16% stake, venture capital firms DST Global and Index Ventures with about 10% each and U.S. mutual-fund company T. Rowe Price Group Inc. with 8.1%.\nGoldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. are joint global coordinators on the offering, while Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., Jefferies and Numis Securities Ltd. are joint bookrunners.\n(Adds details on existing holders in 10th paragraph.)","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":142,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":353078291,"gmtCreate":1616447619713,"gmtModify":1704794167889,"author":{"id":"3572682061977022","authorId":"3572682061977022","name":"Weichao","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572682061977022","authorIdStr":"3572682061977022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"..","listText":"..","text":"..","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/353078291","repostId":"2121722120","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2121722120","pubTimestamp":1616427519,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2121722120?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-22 23:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple and Amazon prices make sense and more signs from Goldman Sachs that stocks aren’t in a bubble","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2121722120","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"The bull rally in stocks continues to paw at the dirt, with both the Dow and S&P 500 indexes charging to new highs last week and momentum set to continue into the week ahead.And worries of a bubble are blowing.

And the Oracle of Omaha also addressed the recent rise in retail trading andonline brokerage firmslike Robinhood,the rally in bitcoinand the boom in SPAC mergers.</p><p>In many ways, this year's meeting looked different from those in the past. The annual event took placein a hotel conference room in Los Angelesrather than in an arena in Omaha, Nebraska, due to the ongoing pandemic.</p><p>Buffett's long-time business partner Charlie Munger also returned onstage this year to co-lead the event, after sitting out last year because of the pandemic. And in a new move, Buffett and Munger were joined by Berkshire's Vice Chairmen Gregory Abel and Ajit Jain,in a signal of potential succession plans at the company.</p><p>Here were some of the highlights from the event.</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett said Berkshire Hathaway is seeing signs of rising price pressures during the COVID-19 recovery, corroborating many market participants' concerns about increasing inflationary pressures.</p><p>\"We're seeing substantial inflation. We're raising prices, people are raising prices to us. And it's being accepted,\" Buffett said. \"We really do a lot of housing. The costs are just up, up, up. Steel costs. You know, just every day they're going up.\"</p><p>\"It's an economy – really, it's red hot. And we weren't expecting it,\" he added.</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett said trading apps like Robinhoodhave contributed to the \"casino aspect\" of the stock market as of late, exploiting individuals' inclinations to gamble.</p><p>“It’s become a very significant part of the casino aspect, the casino group, that has joined into the stock market in the last year, year and a half,\" Buffett said of Robinhood. \"There’s nothing, you know, there’s nothing illegal about it, there’s nothing immoral. But I don’t think you’d build a society around people doing it.\"</p><p>\"I think the degree to which a very rich society can reward people who know how to take advantage, essentially, of the gambling instincts of the American public, the worldwide public – it’s not the most admirable part of the accomplishment,\" Buffett added. \"But I think what America has accomplished is pretty admirable overall. And I think actually American corporations have turned out to be a wonderful place for people to put their money and save. But they also make terrific gambling chips, and if you cater to those gambling chips when people have money in their pocket for the first time and you tell them take my 30 or 40 or 50 trades a day and you’re not charging commission ... I hope we don’t have more of it.”</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett explained that Berkshire's move to unload many of its bank shares last year was not due to a lack of confidence in the banking industry, but more a decision to re-balance the portfolio and avoid being too heavily tilted toward one area.</p><p>\"I like banks generally, I just didn't like the proportion compared to the possible risk,\" Buffett said. \"We were over 10% of Bank of America. It's a real pain in the neck, more to the banks than us.\"</p><p>Berkshire held 1,032,952,006 shares of Bank of America as of the end of 2020, after adding 85.1 million shares in the third quarter alone. This gave Berkshire Hathaway an ownership stake of 11.9%. Berkshire cut its holdings of Wells Fargo from 345.7 million shares at year-end 2019 to 52.4 million by year-end 2020, and completely exited its holdings in JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and M&amp;T Bank Corp (MTB).</p><p>\"The banking business is way better than it was in the United States 10 or 15 years ago,\" he added. \"The banking business around the world in various places might worry me, but our banks are in far, far better shape than 10 or 15 years ago.\"</p><p>—</p><p>A shareholder asked Jain, who leads Berkshire's insurance business, whether he would be hypothetically willing to write an insurance policy for SpaceX founder Elon Musk for his proposed colonization of Mars.</p><p>\"This is an easy one.

And we’ve probably got two people that are short. So we’ve got a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, and making two people happy. And it’s just a dumb equation.\"</p><p>Munger, however, issued a more direct attack.</p><p>\"Those who know me well are just waving the red flag at the bull. Of course I hate the bitcoin success,\" he said. \"And I don’t welcome a currency that’s so useful kidnappers and extortionists and so forth.

Just a bullet higher, it's deeply immoral,\" Munger said. \"But if you're repurchasing stock because it's a fair thing to do in the interest of your existing shareholders, it's a highly moral act and the people who are criticizing it are bonkers.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Low interest rates have catalyzed a surge in valuations across equities, giving those who invest in the markets an opportunity to create wealth, Munger said during the Berkshire Hathaway question and answer segment.</p><p>\"I think one consequence of this present situation is, Bernie Sanders has basically won,\" Munger says. \"Because with everything boomed out so high and interest rates so low, what's going to happen is, the millennial generation is going to have a hell of a time getting rich compared to our generation ...

I can't think of anybody that can duplicate it.\"</p><p>\"I certainly have a lot of respect, both at a professional level and personal level, in terms of what Greg's abilities are,\" Jain added. \"We do not interact with each other as often as Warren and Charlie do.

I would hate to have all the hydrocarbons banned in three years,\" Buffett said. \"You wouldn't want a world — it wouldn't work.

It's a very tough time to decide what companies benefit societies more than others.\"</p><p>\"I don't like making the moral judgments on stocks in terms of actually running the businesses, but there's something about every business that you knew that you wouldn't like,\" he added. \"If you expect perfection in your spouse or in your friends or in companies you're not going to find it.\"</p><p>\"Chevron is not an evil company in the least, and I have no compunction about owning it in the least, about owning Chevron,\" Buffett concluded. \"And if we owned the entire business I would not feel uncomfortable about being in that business.\"</p><p>Answering a subsequent question about the Berkshire board of directors' recommendation to voteagainst reporting climate-related risks, Munger added, \"I don't know we know the answer to all these questions about global warming.\"</p><p>\"The people who ask the questions think they know the answer. We're just more modest.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Most investors would benefit from simply purchasing an S&amp;P 500 index fund over the long run rather than picking individual stocks, even including Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett said during the question-and-answer session Saturday.</p><p>\"I recommend the S&amp;P 500 index fund … I’ve never recommended Berkshire to anybody because I don’t want people to buy it because they think I’m tipping them into something,\" he said. \"On my death there's a fund for my then-widow and 90% will go into an S&amp;P 500 index fund.\"</p><p>\"I do not think the average person can pick stocks,\" he added. \"We happen to have a large group of people that didn't pick stocks but they picked Charlie and me to manage money for them 50, 60 years ago. So we have a very unusual group of shareholders I think who look at Berkshire as a lifetime savings vehicle and one that they don’t have to think about and one that they'll, you know, they don't look at it again for 10 to 20 years.\"</p><p>Charlie Munger, on the other hand, had a different perspective.</p><p>\"I personally prefer holding Berkshire to holding the market,\" he said in response to the same question. \"I’m quite comfortable holding Berkshire. I think our businesses are better than the average in the market.\"</p><p>—</p><p>Buffett reiterated a staunchly supportive stance of U.S. corporations and capitalism in his opening remarks, highlighting that five of the six largest companies in the world by market capitalization currently comprise domestic companies. Those five companies are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook, with only Saudi Aramco of Saudi Arabia coming in as a non-U.S. mega-cap company in the top six.</p><p>But only a couple hundred years ago, the U.S. looked like the underdog.</p><p>\"In 1790 we had one-half of 1% of the world's population,\" Buffett said. \"600,000 of them were slaves. Ireland had more people than the United States had. Russia had five times as many people. Ukraine had twice as many people.\"</p><p>\"But here we were. What did we have? We had a map for the future, an aspirational map that somehow now only 232 years later, leaves us with five of the top six companies in the world,\" he said. \"It's not an accident. And it's not because we were way smarter, way stronger or anything of the sort. We had good soil, decent climate, but so did some of the other countries I named. This system has worked very well.\"</p><p>—</p><p>In opening remarks at the start of Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting, Buffett credited the U.S. economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis toswift action by the Federal Reserve and Congress.</p><p>\"The economy went off a cliff in March. It was resurrected in an extraordinarily effective way by Federal Reserve action and later on the fiscal front by Congress,\" Buffett said in opening remarks at Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting.\"</p><p>He added that Berkshire Hathaway's own business has picked up tremendously alongside the broader economy, and suggested businesses like airlines were still among those most deeply affected by lingering effects from the pandemic.</p><p>\"Our businesses have done really quite well. This has been a very, very, very unusual recession in that it's been localized ... to an extraordinary extent. Right now business is really very good in a great many segments of the economy,\" he added. \"But there's still problems if you're in a few types of businesses that have been decimated such as international air travel or something of the sort.\"</p><p>—</p><p>The CEO of See's Candies, one of the longstanding companies owned by Berkshire Hathaway, told Yahoo Finance that the companyhas seen a strong rebound at the start of 2021. However, last year, business virtually ground to a halt.</p><p>\"This has been the longest decade of my life. We've been through a lot. Last year – it's a tale of a couple of different quarters. The first quarter was tremendous,\" See's Candies CEO Pat Egan said in an interview with Yahoo Finance's Julia La Roche ahead of the start of Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting. \"In the middle of March, when this [pandemic] really hit, we shut down all of our stores in a span of five days. So about 245 stores we closed in a matter of days. And then about a week and a half later, we closed our e-commerce fulfillment center down in Southern California. So for a period of time there, we essentially completely stopped.\"</p><p>\"We just said, we're not going to reopen stores or reopen plants until we can create a safe operating environment for our employees,\" he added. \"That took a while, and by the time we restored over the summer we saw customers coming back in. But for that period of time, it was pretty rough.\"</p><p>See's Candies just completed its \"best first quarter ever\" at the start of 2021, Egan added.</p><p>—</p><p>Berkshire Hathawayreported first-quarter results Saturday morning, underscoring arebound in profits across the firm's businesses amid the COVID-19 recovery. Berkshire also reported that it conducted another $6.6 billion of stock buybacks, extending its ramped-up share repurchase program from 2020.</p><p>Operating income during the first three months of the year increased to $7.02 billion, rising 19.5% compared to the $5.87 billion posted in the first quarter of 2020. Net earnings attributable to Berkshire shareholders swung back to a profit of $11.71 billion, compared to a loss of $49.75 billion in the same quarter last year.</p><p>Consolidated shareholders' equity rose by $4.8 billion to $448 billion by the end of March compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/RN?name=RNLive&amp;rndata={&quot;liveId&quot;:&quot;16196040827650&quot;}\" target=\"_blank\">If you want to watch the full live video, please click here.</a></p>","source":"yahoofinance_sg","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

And the Oracle of Omaha also addressed the recent rise in retail trading andonline brokerage firmslike Robinhood,the rally in bitcoinand the boom in SPAC mergers.In many ways, this year's meeting looked different from those in the past. The annual event took placein a hotel conference room in Los Angelesrather than in an arena in Omaha, Nebraska, due to the ongoing pandemic.Buffett's long-time business partner Charlie Munger also returned onstage this year to co-lead the event, after sitting out last year because of the pandemic. And in a new move, Buffett and Munger were joined by Berkshire's Vice Chairmen Gregory Abel and Ajit Jain,in a signal of potential succession plans at the company.Here were some of the highlights from the event.—Buffett said Berkshire Hathaway is seeing signs of rising price pressures during the COVID-19 recovery, corroborating many market participants' concerns about increasing inflationary pressures.\"We're seeing substantial inflation. We're raising prices, people are raising prices to us. And it's being accepted,\" Buffett said. \"We really do a lot of housing. The costs are just up, up, up. Steel costs. You know, just every day they're going up.\"\"It's an economy – really, it's red hot. And we weren't expecting it,\" he added.—Buffett said trading apps like Robinhoodhave contributed to the \"casino aspect\" of the stock market as of late, exploiting individuals' inclinations to gamble.“It’s become a very significant part of the casino aspect, the casino group, that has joined into the stock market in the last year, year and a half,\" Buffett said of Robinhood. \"There’s nothing, you know, there’s nothing illegal about it, there’s nothing immoral. But I don’t think you’d build a society around people doing it.\"\"I think the degree to which a very rich society can reward people who know how to take advantage, essentially, of the gambling instincts of the American public, the worldwide public – it’s not the most admirable part of the accomplishment,\" Buffett added. \"But I think what America has accomplished is pretty admirable overall. And I think actually American corporations have turned out to be a wonderful place for people to put their money and save. But they also make terrific gambling chips, and if you cater to those gambling chips when people have money in their pocket for the first time and you tell them take my 30 or 40 or 50 trades a day and you’re not charging commission ... I hope we don’t have more of it.”—Buffett explained that Berkshire's move to unload many of its bank shares last year was not due to a lack of confidence in the banking industry, but more a decision to re-balance the portfolio and avoid being too heavily tilted toward one area.\"I like banks generally, I just didn't like the proportion compared to the possible risk,\" Buffett said. \"We were over 10% of Bank of America. It's a real pain in the neck, more to the banks than us.\"Berkshire held 1,032,952,006 shares of Bank of America as of the end of 2020, after adding 85.1 million shares in the third quarter alone. This gave Berkshire Hathaway an ownership stake of 11.9%. Berkshire cut its holdings of Wells Fargo from 345.7 million shares at year-end 2019 to 52.4 million by year-end 2020, and completely exited its holdings in JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and M&T Bank Corp (MTB).\"The banking business is way better than it was in the United States 10 or 15 years ago,\" he added. \"The banking business around the world in various places might worry me, but our banks are in far, far better shape than 10 or 15 years ago.\"—A shareholder asked Jain, who leads Berkshire's insurance business, whether he would be hypothetically willing to write an insurance policy for SpaceX founder Elon Musk for his proposed colonization of Mars.\"This is an easy one. No thank you, I’ll pass,\" Jain said.“Well I would say it would depend on the premium,” Buffett interjected with a laugh. \"And I would say that I would probably have a somewhat different rate if Elon was on board or not on board. It makes a difference if someone is asking to insure something.”—Warren Buffett declined to directly offer an opinion in response to a question on bitcoin, an assethe previously likened to \"rat poison squared.\"\"I knew there’d be a question on bitcoin or crypto and I thought to myself well, I watch these politicians dodge questions all the time … The truth is, I’m going to dodge that question,\" Buffett said. \"Because the truth is, we’ve probably got hundreds of thousands of people that are watching this that own bitcoin. And we’ve probably got two people that are short. So we’ve got a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, and making two people happy. And it’s just a dumb equation.\"Munger, however, issued a more direct attack.\"Those who know me well are just waving the red flag at the bull. Of course I hate the bitcoin success,\" he said. \"And I don’t welcome a currency that’s so useful kidnappers and extortionists and so forth. Nor do I like shoveling out a few extra billions and billions and billions of dollars to somebody who just invented a new financial product out of thin air. So I think I should say modestly that the whole damn development is disgusting and contrary to the interest of civilization.\"—Both Buffett and Munger issued strong words of support for share repurchases, especially after Berkshire reported repurchasing an additional $6.6 billion in stock in the first three months of 2021.\"They're a way, essentially, of distributing the cash to the people that want the cash when other co-owners mostly want you to reinvest,\" Buffett said. \"It's a savings vehicle.\"\"I find it almost impossible to believe some of the arguments that are made that it's terrible to repurchase shares from a partner if they want to get out of something, and you're able to do it at prices that are advantages to the people that are staying,\" Buffett said. \"And it helps slightly the person that wants out.\"Munger offered a similar view.\"You're repurchasing stock.

We're just more modest.\"—Most investors would benefit from simply purchasing an S&P 500 index fund over the long run rather than picking individual stocks, even including Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett said during the question-and-answer session Saturday.\"I recommend the S&P 500 index fund … I’ve never recommended Berkshire to anybody because I don’t want people to buy it because they think I’m tipping them into something,\" he said. \"On my death there's a fund for my then-widow and 90% will go into an S&P 500 index fund.\"\"I do not think the average person can pick stocks,\" he added. \"We happen to have a large group of people that didn't pick stocks but they picked Charlie and me to manage money for them 50, 60 years ago. So we have a very unusual group of shareholders I think who look at Berkshire as a lifetime savings vehicle and one that they don’t have to think about and one that they'll, you know, they don't look at it again for 10 to 20 years.\"Charlie Munger, on the other hand, had a different perspective.\"I personally prefer holding Berkshire to holding the market,\" he said in response to the same question. \"I’m quite comfortable holding Berkshire. I think our businesses are better than the average in the market.\"—Buffett reiterated a staunchly supportive stance of U.S. corporations and capitalism in his opening remarks, highlighting that five of the six largest companies in the world by market capitalization currently comprise domestic companies. Those five companies are Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook, with only Saudi Aramco of Saudi Arabia coming in as a non-U.S. mega-cap company in the top six.But only a couple hundred years ago, the U.S. looked like the underdog.\"In 1790 we had one-half of 1% of the world's population,\" Buffett said. \"600,000 of them were slaves. Ireland had more people than the United States had. Russia had five times as many people. Ukraine had twice as many people.\"\"But here we were. What did we have? We had a map for the future, an aspirational map that somehow now only 232 years later, leaves us with five of the top six companies in the world,\" he said. \"It's not an accident. And it's not because we were way smarter, way stronger or anything of the sort. We had good soil, decent climate, but so did some of the other countries I named. This system has worked very well.\"—In opening remarks at the start of Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting, Buffett credited the U.S. economic recovery from the COVID-19 crisis toswift action by the Federal Reserve and Congress.\"The economy went off a cliff in March. It was resurrected in an extraordinarily effective way by Federal Reserve action and later on the fiscal front by Congress,\" Buffett said in opening remarks at Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting.\"He added that Berkshire Hathaway's own business has picked up tremendously alongside the broader economy, and suggested businesses like airlines were still among those most deeply affected by lingering effects from the pandemic.\"Our businesses have done really quite well. This has been a very, very, very unusual recession in that it's been localized ... to an extraordinary extent. Right now business is really very good in a great many segments of the economy,\" he added. \"But there's still problems if you're in a few types of businesses that have been decimated such as international air travel or something of the sort.\"—The CEO of See's Candies, one of the longstanding companies owned by Berkshire Hathaway, told Yahoo Finance that the companyhas seen a strong rebound at the start of 2021. However, last year, business virtually ground to a halt.\"This has been the longest decade of my life. We've been through a lot. Last year – it's a tale of a couple of different quarters. The first quarter was tremendous,\" See's Candies CEO Pat Egan said in an interview with Yahoo Finance's Julia La Roche ahead of the start of Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting. \"In the middle of March, when this [pandemic] really hit, we shut down all of our stores in a span of five days. So about 245 stores we closed in a matter of days. And then about a week and a half later, we closed our e-commerce fulfillment center down in Southern California. So for a period of time there, we essentially completely stopped.\"\"We just said, we're not going to reopen stores or reopen plants until we can create a safe operating environment for our employees,\" he added. \"That took a while, and by the time we restored over the summer we saw customers coming back in. But for that period of time, it was pretty rough.\"See's Candies just completed its \"best first quarter ever\" at the start of 2021, Egan added.—Berkshire Hathawayreported first-quarter results Saturday morning, underscoring arebound in profits across the firm's businesses amid the COVID-19 recovery. Berkshire also reported that it conducted another $6.6 billion of stock buybacks, extending its ramped-up share repurchase program from 2020.Operating income during the first three months of the year increased to $7.02 billion, rising 19.5% compared to the $5.87 billion posted in the first quarter of 2020. Net earnings attributable to Berkshire shareholders swung back to a profit of $11.71 billion, compared to a loss of $49.75 billion in the same quarter last year.Consolidated shareholders' equity rose by $4.8 billion to $448 billion by the end of March compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.If you want to watch the full live video, please click here.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":355,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":100159081,"gmtCreate":1619592238543,"gmtModify":1704726475868,"author":{"id":"3572682061977022","authorId":"3572682061977022","name":"Weichao","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572682061977022","authorIdStr":"3572682061977022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/100159081","repostId":"1124091974","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1124091974","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":1619567579,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1124091974?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-28 07:52","market":"us","language":"en","title":"S&P 500 closes flat near a record high ahead","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1124091974","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"The S&P 500 closed little changed near its record level on Tuesday as investors braced for a big bat","content":"<p>The S&amp;P 500 closed little changed near its record level on Tuesday as investors braced for a big batch of tech earnings.</p><p>The broad equity benchmark ended the day less than 0.1% lower at 4,186.72 after hitting a record high in the previous session.

The forgotten tech IPO of 2018 saw its share price deteriorate quickly after reporting decelerating revenue growth and stiff competition from Big-Tech firms such as Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN), Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL), and Microsoft(NASDAQ:MSFT). While some growth investors may have written the stock off, its given valuation in today's market frenzy around technology companies simply cannot be ignored.</p>\n<p>The cloud storage platform offers file synchronization, infrastructure modernization, and workflow optimization to enhance team collaboration and innovates its ecosystem to continue competing in a gigantic (and growing) market. That said, the company continues to deliver growth in all relevant metrics, but most importantly, is quickly improving its profitability. Dropbox is turning into a free cash flow machine with long-term targets of reaching $1 billion in free cash flow. Moreover, considering its market cap of just $10.6 billion and a competitive position in the ever-growing cloud market, Dropbox may be on the radar for an acquisition, which would cause its share price to surge.</p>\n<p><b>Still Growing</b></p>\n<p>Dropbox shares fell roughly 4% after the company reported a $345 million loss in its fourth-quarter&nbsp;earnings&nbsp;due to a one-time $400 million real-estate charge as it fully transitioned to remote work. However, excluding the charge, Dropbox actually beat both earnings and revenue estimates. Here, the company reported revenue of $504 million, up by 13% year-over-year. Total average recurring revenue (ARR) grew by 12% to $2.022 billion, while total revenue for the year increased by 15% to $1.91 billion.</p>\n<p>Excluding the impairment charges, Dropbox posted a Non-GAPP Income of $391 million, compared to $207 million in 2019.

That said, Dropbox is trading at a forward P/E of just 20.6x, significantly lower than the Internet - Services industry's average P/E of 31.94x.

Dropbox has been feeling the effects of increased competition, losing market share to larger competitors, but is still growing its user base, which is reflected in double-digit revenue growth that is set to last at least until 2022.

The forgotten tech IPO of 2018 saw its share price deteriorate quickly after reporting decelerating revenue growth and stiff competition from Big-Tech firms such as Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN), Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL), and Microsoft(NASDAQ:MSFT). While some growth investors may have written the stock off, its given valuation in today's market frenzy around technology companies simply cannot be ignored.\nThe cloud storage platform offers file synchronization, infrastructure modernization, and workflow optimization to enhance team collaboration and innovates its ecosystem to continue competing in a gigantic (and growing) market. That said, the company continues to deliver growth in all relevant metrics, but most importantly, is quickly improving its profitability. Dropbox is turning into a free cash flow machine with long-term targets of reaching $1 billion in free cash flow. Moreover, considering its market cap of just $10.6 billion and a competitive position in the ever-growing cloud market, Dropbox may be on the radar for an acquisition, which would cause its share price to surge.\nStill Growing\nDropbox shares fell roughly 4% after the company reported a $345 million loss in its fourth-quarter earnings due to a one-time $400 million real-estate charge as it fully transitioned to remote work. However, excluding the charge, Dropbox actually beat both earnings and revenue estimates. Here, the company reported revenue of $504 million, up by 13% year-over-year. Total average recurring revenue (ARR) grew by 12% to $2.022 billion, while total revenue for the year increased by 15% to $1.91 billion.\nExcluding the impairment charges, Dropbox posted a Non-GAPP Income of $391 million, compared to $207 million in 2019. Dropbox also reported strong free cash flow of $490 million, $100 million higher than in the year prior. Gross margins further improved by 3% year-over, reaching 78.3%.\n\n 2020 was a transformational year for Dropbox and I’m proud of the team for their resilience and focus in addressing our customers’ evolving needsl said Dropbox. We ended the year with strong margin expansion, free cash flow, and more than $2B in ARR as we continued to make progress toward our long-term financial targets.

But for Airbnb, which relies on people to open their homes to guests, the company will need to ramp up its number of hosts instead of building out more real estate or adding flights to meet demand.\nIt’s a similar problem faced by other companies in the gig economy likeUber, which recently announced a$250 million stimulusin an effort to bring more drivers to its platform.\n“As vaccination rates increase in the United States, we are observing that consumer demand for Mobility is recovering faster than driver availability, and consumer demand for Delivery continues to exceed courier availability,”Uber saidin a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.\nChesky said Airbnb isn’t likely to offer “a lot of incentives” to bring new hosts on board since there’s already a huge amount of demand for service.\n“I think that all we have to do is just continue to tell our story of Airbnb, and the benefits of hosting. And we are seeing a lot of interest,” he said.\nAs part of that, Chesky said the company has done things like launch its “made possible by hosts” ad campaign. The company rolled out a number of advertisements using photographs from Airbnb guests staying in homes around the world, in an effort to create a sense of nostalgia.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":710,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":346542523,"gmtCreate":1618094749062,"gmtModify":1704706511913,"author":{"id":"3572682061977022","authorId":"3572682061977022","name":"Weichao","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572682061977022","authorIdStr":"3572682061977022"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/346542523","repostId":"2126315033","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2126315033","pubTimestamp":1617981660,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2126315033?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-09 23:21","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Netflix Grabs Sony's Pay-TV Movie Deal From Starz","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2126315033","media":"Anders Bylund","summary":"Most Hollywood studios have started their own streaming services to compete in the evolving media market.
