With the appropriate strategy, allocation, and investing time horizon, this isn&#39;t an impossible goal by any means. As you diversify your basket of stocks to work toward this achievement, it&#39;s important to select quality businesses across a wide variety of sectors with multiple catalysts to sustain continued returns over a period of years.</p><p>For example, if you were to invest $200,000 in the stock market right now, promising companies with innovative, industry-leading businesses ripe for future growth could foreseeably compound that investment by 5 times or more in the next decade. With that said, here are two such stocks that could help you build out your retirement plan.</p><h2>1. Upstart</h2><p><b>Upstart</b> is dealing with extremely choppy market waters right now; however, looking beyond these events to the company&#39;s long-term prospects, an altogether brighter picture forms. To understand why, one has to take a deeper look into the inner workings of Upstart and its business, which is driven by artificial intelligence and machine learning. The company operates a lending marketplace that revolves around its innovative technology platform, which leverages more than 1,600 data points to assess the creditworthiness of any given consumer. In other words, it doesn&#39;t just the FICO score but atypical factors like education and income to help determine this.</p><p>By using a far broader range of factors to determine whether an applicant ought to be approved for a loan, as well as the platform&#39;s predictive capabilities that calibrate to the economic environment to assess the likelihood of that applicant to default, Upstart has not only been able to democratize the long-stale lending arena but also lower risk for institutional partners with more inclusive and real-time data.</p><p>Moreover, because Upstart&#39;s platform is constantly learning, this not only enables it to adjust to the most current economic conditions, but this also means that more of the company&#39;s loan applications are being handled on a fully automated basis.</p><p>In Upstart&#39;s full-year 2022 earnings report, management said that 82% of all loan applications on the platform were fully automated -- the highest level of automation its model has reached in the history of the company. Moreover, 88% of all small-dollar loans are now automated. On top of that, as of the end of 2022, Upstart&#39;s model had learned more in the prior seven months than it had in the entire 30 months before that.</p><p>During 2022, Upstart&#39;s number of bank and credit union partners soared 120% from 2021, and its network of auto dealers jumped more than 90% year over year. Bear in mind, the auto lending market alone represents a near $800 billion opportunity, and as of the end of 2022, the company had the second-fastest-growing auto retail software in the country.</p><p>As Upstart&#39;s platform is constantly learning, a challenging economic environment is inevitably going to mean that it approves fewer loans than it would in a situation where the risk of default is lower, but this would also indicate the exact opposite would happen in a more buoyant economic landscape. At the same time, the combination of institutional partners funding far fewer loans right now and a drop in consumers applying for loans has contributed to the declines in Upstart&#39;s top and bottom lines recently. While investors will need to continue watching these factors closely in the quarters ahead, it&#39;s important to differentiate broader economic headwinds from headwinds tied directly to Upstart&#39;s business.</p><p>The fact that the company is expanding market share, boosting platform automation, and rapidly growing its partner network even in a decidedly bleak lending environment is notable, and could prime the business for a relatively rapid upward trajectory once the economic environment improves and interest rates come down. Even a conservative position in this top growth stock could yield tremendous results over the next five to 10 years when paired with a wide selection of investments in a buy-and-hold investment portfolio. That potential may be too intriguing for some investors to overlook while the stock&#39;s currently trading down.</p><h2>2. Teladoc</h2><p><b>Teladoc</b> investors -- and I am one of them -- have faced more than their fair share of volatile market days over the past year. While shares of this healthcare stock are still down 64% from 12 months ago, they&#39;ve risen roughly 15% since the start of 2023. The market has been far less kind toward unprofitable, growth-oriented businesses in the current economic environment, and Teladoc currently fits squarely into both categories.</p><p>The full 2022 year saw Teladoc achieve some notable goals, while falling short on other fronts. Revenue totaled $2.4 billion for the 12-month period, an 18% increase from 2021. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) was down year over year, but still hit $247 million. Teladoc also continues to see rapid adoption across a wide range of its healthcare services, with its teletherapy arm BetterHelp alone posting revenue growth of 29% year over year in the final quarter of 2022.</p><p>Teladoc reported a third impairment charge in Q4 of 2022 after having significantly shaved its net losses in the prior quarter. Specifically, it ended the 12-month period with a net loss of $13.7 billion, almost entirely due to impairment charges related to writing down the value of its 2020 Livongo acquisition. Here&#39;s the thing, though: While this loss is unpleasant to look at as an investor, these were non-cash impairment charges. In other words, paper-only net losses, which are not the same as actual operational losses.</p><p>Even though Teladoc overpaid for that acquisition, its contribution to its overall mission of disrupting the still underserved chronic care solutions market remains a notable green flag for the long-term future of the integration of these two businesses. CEO Jason Gorevic noted the following about its chronic care segment and broader platform expansion on the company&#39;s 2022 earnings call:</p><blockquote>Access to our platform is available to over 80 million individuals in the U.S. today, primarily through our relationships with employers and health plans. Over 50% of that population has access to more than one of our products. And when I look at our suite of chronic care solutions, 30% of enrollees are now utilizing more than one chronic care product. Our BetterHelp offering provided over 1 million individuals with access to mental healthcare over the past year, many of whom are unlikely to have received any care at all, if not for our services.</blockquote><blockquote>Our platform enabled over 22 million visits across specialties last year and over 0.5 billion digital health interactions with an unmatched consumer experience and a net promoter score over 60. That breadth and scale is unrivaled in the industry and gives us a strong foundation on which to expand.</blockquote><p>Teladoc remains the premier telehealth platform in the U.S., and the increasing diversity and adoption of its offerings bode well for its ability to continue expanding its market share in the years ahead. Management has been clear that moving back to profitability is a key goal for the future. The investments Teladoc is making now could yield robust returns for the company and its shareholders in the years ahead. As such, given Teladoc&#39;s long trajectory for growth, forward-thinking investors may find any dips in the stock to be too good to pass up.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Want $1 Million in Retirement?

With the appropriate strategy, allocation, and investing time horizon, this isn't an impossible goal by any means. As you diversify your basket of stocks to work toward this achievement, it's important to select quality businesses across a wide variety of sectors with multiple catalysts to sustain continued returns over a period of years.For example, if you were to invest $200,000 in the stock market right now, promising companies with innovative, industry-leading businesses ripe for future growth could foreseeably compound that investment by 5 times or more in the next decade. With that said, here are two such stocks that could help you build out your retirement plan.1. UpstartUpstart is dealing with extremely choppy market waters right now; however, looking beyond these events to the company's long-term prospects, an altogether brighter picture forms. To understand why, one has to take a deeper look into the inner workings of Upstart and its business, which is driven by artificial intelligence and machine learning. The company operates a lending marketplace that revolves around its innovative technology platform, which leverages more than 1,600 data points to assess the creditworthiness of any given consumer. In other words, it doesn't just the FICO score but atypical factors like education and income to help determine this.By using a far broader range of factors to determine whether an applicant ought to be approved for a loan, as well as the platform's predictive capabilities that calibrate to the economic environment to assess the likelihood of that applicant to default, Upstart has not only been able to democratize the long-stale lending arena but also lower risk for institutional partners with more inclusive and real-time data.Moreover, because Upstart's platform is constantly learning, this not only enables it to adjust to the most current economic conditions, but this also means that more of the company's loan applications are being handled on a fully automated basis.In Upstart's full-year 2022 earnings report, management said that 82% of all loan applications on the platform were fully automated -- the highest level of automation its model has reached in the history of the company. Moreover, 88% of all small-dollar loans are now automated. On top of that, as of the end of 2022, Upstart's model had learned more in the prior seven months than it had in the entire 30 months before that.During 2022, Upstart's number of bank and credit union partners soared 120% from 2021, and its network of auto dealers jumped more than 90% year over year. Bear in mind, the auto lending market alone represents a near $800 billion opportunity, and as of the end of 2022, the company had the second-fastest-growing auto retail software in the country.As Upstart's platform is constantly learning, a challenging economic environment is inevitably going to mean that it approves fewer loans than it would in a situation where the risk of default is lower, but this would also indicate the exact opposite would happen in a more buoyant economic landscape. At the same time, the combination of institutional partners funding far fewer loans right now and a drop in consumers applying for loans has contributed to the declines in Upstart's top and bottom lines recently. While investors will need to continue watching these factors closely in the quarters ahead, it's important to differentiate broader economic headwinds from headwinds tied directly to Upstart's business.The fact that the company is expanding market share, boosting platform automation, and rapidly growing its partner network even in a decidedly bleak lending environment is notable, and could prime the business for a relatively rapid upward trajectory once the economic environment improves and interest rates come down. Even a conservative position in this top growth stock could yield tremendous results over the next five to 10 years when paired with a wide selection of investments in a buy-and-hold investment portfolio. That potential may be too intriguing for some investors to overlook while the stock's currently trading down.2. TeladocTeladoc investors -- and I am one of them -- have faced more than their fair share of volatile market days over the past year.

However, this is the prime time to look for the best tech stock to buy on the pullbacks. While losses have been considerable this year, it’s not permanent. In fact, I still believe most of these companies will start reporting much better year-on-year figures once the post-covid turbulence is behind us. Therefore, buying the best tech stocks now will give investors an excellent entry point for long-term gains. Here are the top seven picks to look into:</p><table border=\"1\"><tbody><tr><td><b>MSFT</b></td><td>Microsoft</td><td>$249.16</td></tr><tr><td><b>INTC</b></td><td>Intel</td><td>$24.84</td></tr><tr><td><b>AMZN</b></td><td>Amazon</td><td>$93.98</td></tr><tr><td><b>OKTA</b></td><td>Okta</td><td>$71.15</td></tr><tr><td><b>YEXT</b></td><td>Yext</td><td>$7.36</td></tr><tr><td><b>RIOT</b></td><td>Riot Platforms</td><td>$6.22</td></tr><tr><td><b>NET</b></td><td>Cloudflare</td><td>$59.64</td></tr></tbody></table><h2></h2><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft </a></h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47f6b1c8715f6779c55164dde59413d6\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Source: Asif Islam / Shutterstock.com</p><p><b>Microsoft’s</b> rollout of ChatGPT integration with Bing and high growth in its cloud segment makes it among the hottest stocks this year. Of course, Bing could still be a “nothing burger” as not many people are interested in permanently switching to Bing except for niche purposes. But the Street is certainly excited.</p><p>The company reported its fiscal Q2 2023 earnings, where its overall revenue grew 2%, but Azure and other cloud services revenue grew 31%, with Office 365 Commercial sales growing 11%. Conversely, Windows OEM and devices sales each decreased by 39%, which substantially negatively impacted top-line growth. The point is that Microsoft is slowly shaping its business away from slow-growth segments and into up-and-coming ones like Azure and Office 365. This will hurt the company’s top-line growth in the short term, but I see healthy growth metrics in the long run.</p><p>Furthermore, the cloud isn’t the only thing in which Microsoft has an edge. The company’s aggressively investing in artificial intelligence, such as its $10 billion OpenAI investment. As AI becomes more important, these investments will pay off greatly.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INTC\">Intel </a></h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/35428f0e9fb4a3ba4685923398cf5024\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Source: shutterstock.com/everything possible</p><p>Tough competition with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">Advanced Micro Devices</a> and sluggish year-over-year growth have caused <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INTC\">Intel</a>’s stock to plummet to decade-low valuations. However, it should be noted that the company is transforming and adapting its business for long-term success.</p><p>Intel is particularly focusing on chips for AI, announcing a $20 billion investment into domestic chip production in the U.S., unlike other semiconductor companies that are sourcing their chips from foreign sources such as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSM\">Taiwan Semiconductor</a>. The CHIPS act subsidy will come in handy for the company in this regard, as Intel already reported 30% YoY growth in its foundry segment. Its Mobileye ownership is also paying dividends, with sales up 59% YoY.</p><p>Another important highlight mentioned in a recent company press release,</p><blockquote>“Intel continues to progress with its goal of achieving five nodes in four years and is on track to regain transistor performance and power performance leadership by 2025. Intel 7 is now in high-volume manufacturing for both client and server. Intel 4 is manufacturing-ready, with the Meteor Lake ramp expected in the second half of 2023.”</blockquote><p>Simply put, Intel is expanding its own chip production for a more addressable market. It is also moving away from foreign sources with its own chip branding instead of using nanometers to describe its semiconductors and seeks to catch up with TSMC and AMD by 2025. If things go smoothly, Intel can become a significant chip provider for various industries in the U.S.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon </a></h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5d8c777beef9fcbe72151403c6646024\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Source: Tada Images / Shutterstock.com</p><p><b>Amazon</b> leads the burgeoning cloud industry with Amazon Web Services. Although other companies are certainly upping their competition here, AWS remains the dominant platform with 34% of the market share. AWS has its hands in almost every industry; even <b>Ethereum</b> (<b>ETH-USD</b>) has a substantial amount of nodes that use AWS to run, while 7,500 government agencies rely on the platform. This reliance is likely to continue, even if other alternatives become more cost-effective. Accordingly, AWS segment sales increased 29% year-over-year to $80.1 billion for all of 2022.</p><p>Nevertheless, Amazon is a highly diversified company with many other promising segments to bank on. Most importantly, it is the biggest U.S. e-commerce business. It had some hiccups after the post-covid boom ended, but e-commerce is among the most promising industries in the long run. If Amazon retains its 38% market share in the industry, it could lead to sales as high as $600 billion annually from the U.S. alone by 2027.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OKTA\">Okta </a></h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/85eeaa891ca15d8a5082c7ce82b75e95\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Source: Sundry Photography / Shutterstock.com</p><p><b>Okta</b> has been one of the standout performers in the technology sector post-covid, with its stock price skyrocketing by more than 130% in 2020. However, widening losses and falling growth caused worries among investors, and OKTA stock is down 75%-plus from its peak in 2021.</p><p>Regardless, the company’s top line remains stable, and I believe Okta can make a comeback as its losses are narrowing. With more and more businesses moving their operations online, Okta’s solutions are becoming increasingly essential, which has helped the company to attract a growing number of high-profile customers. Its high 37% sales growth should accelerate over the long run and bring a higher growth premium.</p><p>Indeed, the losses are unconvincing, but Okta is well-positioned to continue its impressive growth trajectory. The company is expected to benefit from the ongoing shift towards cloud-based applications and the increasing need for robust cybersecurity solutions, which should drive demand for its IAM platform. Most of the company’s cons are also already priced in, and I see little downside left.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/YEXT\">Yext </a></h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ef123c0f44cb8643c125a3ef73012291\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Source: rblfmr / Shutterstock.com</p><p><b>Yext</b> is a leading provider of digital knowledge management software that helps businesses manage their online presence across multiple platforms. The stock was on a roller coaster ride over the pandemic era but began to bottom out last year and is now steadily recovering. However, I still think that its 50% recovery trough to the current year-to-date peak is not enough of a recovery, and there’s more to go.</p><p>The COVID-19 pandemic initially harmed Yext’s business, as many of its customers had to shut down their physical locations. However, the company has adapted well to the changing market conditions, focusing on expanding its digital knowledge management platform to meet the needs of businesses that have shifted their operations online. Now, online businesses are a growth catalyst for Yext.</p><p>Stock analyst Gurufocus.com does believe it could be a value trap due to its high losses. However, its most recent 10-Q filing shows that the company only spent $60.6 million on general and administrative expenses last year, with $221.5 million of gross profit. Most of its losses stem from high marketing and development spending, which can be easily cut down if needed. Therefore, I believe the company’s management sees its losses (that are narrowing) as sustainable.</p><p>Overall, it’s a high-risk, high-reward bet that might not suit all investors as the best tech stock to buy.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/RIOT\">Riot Platforms </a></h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/783635b327e5ba7814bc70de48c780ad\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Source: Shutterstock</p><p><b>Riot Platforms</b> is a cryptocurrency mining company that has been on a wild ride over the past year. Due to a significant drop in <b>Bitcoin</b> (<b>BTC-USD</b>) prices earlier this year, the company’s stock price has lost more than 91.5% of its value from its peak. However, this high-risk stock can deliver a long-term comeback, driven by strong demand for its mining services and the increasing adoption of cryptocurrencies by mainstream investors.</p><p>Riot’s impressive financial performance has been driven by its aggressive expansion into the cryptocurrency mining market. The company has zero debt, and buying it at this current range will likely generate oversized returns when Bitcoin increases in value. The most important catalyst for RIOT is Bitcoin’s halving in 2024.</p><p>It’ll cut mining rewards by half and likely increase its value substantially. The company could make a sharp recovery with RIOT’s 65.4% gross margin and its stash of around 7000 BTC. Naturally, a lot of speculation is involved here, and I wouldn’t recommend buying it if you only wish to invest in well-established names.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NET\">Cloudflare </a></h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc4e1c6480937d07de0a6078b1b53a4a\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Source: IgorGolovniov / Shutterstock.com</p><p><b>Cloudflare’s</b> success can be attributed to its innovative approach to cybersecurity. The company offers a range of solutions that leverage the power of the cloud to protect against cyber attacks. The cybersecurity industry is rapidly growing despite short-term headwinds, and Cloudflare has a market share above 95% in network security. This gives the company enormous leverage over many online websites and businesses.</p><p>Moreover, as web development becomes more streamlined, Cloudflare’s dominance is only increasing due to cost-effectiveness.

However, this is the prime time to look for the best tech stock to buy on the pullbacks. While losses have been considerable this year, it’s not permanent. In fact, I still believe most of these companies will start reporting much better year-on-year figures once the post-covid turbulence is behind us. Therefore, buying the best tech stocks now will give investors an excellent entry point for long-term gains. Here are the top seven picks to look into:MSFTMicrosoft$249.16INTCIntel$24.84AMZNAmazon$93.98OKTAOkta$71.15YEXTYext$7.36RIOTRiot Platforms$6.22NETCloudflare$59.64Microsoft Source: Asif Islam / Shutterstock.comMicrosoft’s rollout of ChatGPT integration with Bing and high growth in its cloud segment makes it among the hottest stocks this year. Of course, Bing could still be a “nothing burger” as not many people are interested in permanently switching to Bing except for niche purposes. But the Street is certainly excited.The company reported its fiscal Q2 2023 earnings, where its overall revenue grew 2%, but Azure and other cloud services revenue grew 31%, with Office 365 Commercial sales growing 11%. Conversely, Windows OEM and devices sales each decreased by 39%, which substantially negatively impacted top-line growth. The point is that Microsoft is slowly shaping its business away from slow-growth segments and into up-and-coming ones like Azure and Office 365. This will hurt the company’s top-line growth in the short term, but I see healthy growth metrics in the long run.Furthermore, the cloud isn’t the only thing in which Microsoft has an edge. The company’s aggressively investing in artificial intelligence, such as its $10 billion OpenAI investment. As AI becomes more important, these investments will pay off greatly.Intel Source: shutterstock.com/everything possibleTough competition with Advanced Micro Devices and sluggish year-over-year growth have caused Intel’s stock to plummet to decade-low valuations. However, it should be noted that the company is transforming and adapting its business for long-term success.Intel is particularly focusing on chips for AI, announcing a $20 billion investment into domestic chip production in the U.S., unlike other semiconductor companies that are sourcing their chips from foreign sources such as Taiwan Semiconductor. The CHIPS act subsidy will come in handy for the company in this regard, as Intel already reported 30% YoY growth in its foundry segment. Its Mobileye ownership is also paying dividends, with sales up 59% YoY.Another important highlight mentioned in a recent company press release,“Intel continues to progress with its goal of achieving five nodes in four years and is on track to regain transistor performance and power performance leadership by 2025. Intel 7 is now in high-volume manufacturing for both client and server. Intel 4 is manufacturing-ready, with the Meteor Lake ramp expected in the second half of 2023.”Simply put, Intel is expanding its own chip production for a more addressable market. It is also moving away from foreign sources with its own chip branding instead of using nanometers to describe its semiconductors and seeks to catch up with TSMC and AMD by 2025. If things go smoothly, Intel can become a significant chip provider for various industries in the U.S.Amazon Source: Tada Images / Shutterstock.comAmazon leads the burgeoning cloud industry with Amazon Web Services. Although other companies are certainly upping their competition here, AWS remains the dominant platform with 34% of the market share. AWS has its hands in almost every industry; even Ethereum (ETH-USD) has a substantial amount of nodes that use AWS to run, while 7,500 government agencies rely on the platform. This reliance is likely to continue, even if other alternatives become more cost-effective. Accordingly, AWS segment sales increased 29% year-over-year to $80.1 billion for all of 2022.Nevertheless, Amazon is a highly diversified company with many other promising segments to bank on. Most importantly, it is the biggest U.S. e-commerce business. It had some hiccups after the post-covid boom ended, but e-commerce is among the most promising industries in the long run. If Amazon retains its 38% market share in the industry, it could lead to sales as high as $600 billion annually from the U.S. alone by 2027.Okta Source: Sundry Photography / Shutterstock.comOkta has been one of the standout performers in the technology sector post-covid, with its stock price skyrocketing by more than 130% in 2020. However, widening losses and falling growth caused worries among investors, and OKTA stock is down 75%-plus from its peak in 2021.Regardless, the company’s top line remains stable, and I believe Okta can make a comeback as its losses are narrowing. With more and more businesses moving their operations online, Okta’s solutions are becoming increasingly essential, which has helped the company to attract a growing number of high-profile customers. Its high 37% sales growth should accelerate over the long run and bring a higher growth premium.Indeed, the losses are unconvincing, but Okta is well-positioned to continue its impressive growth trajectory. The company is expected to benefit from the ongoing shift towards cloud-based applications and the increasing need for robust cybersecurity solutions, which should drive demand for its IAM platform. Most of the company’s cons are also already priced in, and I see little downside left.Yext Source: rblfmr / Shutterstock.comYext is a leading provider of digital knowledge management software that helps businesses manage their online presence across multiple platforms. The stock was on a roller coaster ride over the pandemic era but began to bottom out last year and is now steadily recovering. However, I still think that its 50% recovery trough to the current year-to-date peak is not enough of a recovery, and there’s more to go.The COVID-19 pandemic initially harmed Yext’s business, as many of its customers had to shut down their physical locations. However, the company has adapted well to the changing market conditions, focusing on expanding its digital knowledge management platform to meet the needs of businesses that have shifted their operations online. Now, online businesses are a growth catalyst for Yext.Stock analyst Gurufocus.com does believe it could be a value trap due to its high losses. However, its most recent 10-Q filing shows that the company only spent $60.6 million on general and administrative expenses last year, with $221.5 million of gross profit. Most of its losses stem from high marketing and development spending, which can be easily cut down if needed. Therefore, I believe the company’s management sees its losses (that are narrowing) as sustainable.Overall, it’s a high-risk, high-reward bet that might not suit all investors as the best tech stock to buy.Riot Platforms Source: ShutterstockRiot Platforms is a cryptocurrency mining company that has been on a wild ride over the past year. Due to a significant drop in Bitcoin (BTC-USD) prices earlier this year, the company’s stock price has lost more than 91.5% of its value from its peak. However, this high-risk stock can deliver a long-term comeback, driven by strong demand for its mining services and the increasing adoption of cryptocurrencies by mainstream investors.Riot’s impressive financial performance has been driven by its aggressive expansion into the cryptocurrency mining market. The company has zero debt, and buying it at this current range will likely generate oversized returns when Bitcoin increases in value. The most important catalyst for RIOT is Bitcoin’s halving in 2024.It’ll cut mining rewards by half and likely increase its value substantially. The company could make a sharp recovery with RIOT’s 65.4% gross margin and its stash of around 7000 BTC. Naturally, a lot of speculation is involved here, and I wouldn’t recommend buying it if you only wish to invest in well-established names.Cloudflare Source: IgorGolovniov / Shutterstock.comCloudflare’s success can be attributed to its innovative approach to cybersecurity. The company offers a range of solutions that leverage the power of the cloud to protect against cyber attacks. The cybersecurity industry is rapidly growing despite short-term headwinds, and Cloudflare has a market share above 95% in network security. This gives the company enormous leverage over many online websites and businesses.Moreover, as web development becomes more streamlined, Cloudflare’s dominance is only increasing due to cost-effectiveness. The company is consistently growing its top line near a 50% clip, and losses are steadily narrowing.Gurufocus.com considers the stock “Significantly Undervalued,” with its future 3-5 year total revenue growth rate ranked better than 96.97% of its peers.

Since the beginning of 2022, the <b>Dow Jones Industrial Average</b>, <b>S&amp;P 500</b>, and <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> have all fallen into respective bear markets.</p><p>However, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Despite not being able to precisely predict when bear markets will occur, how long they&#39;ll last, or where the bottom will be, investors do know that every bear market decline throughout history has eventually been completely recouped (and then some) by a bull market. For long-term investors, it means they have a green light to put their money to work whenever the stock market plunges.</p><p>Perhaps best of all, you won&#39;t need a mountain of money to build wealth on Wall Street. Since most online brokerages have done away with commissions and minimum deposit requirements, any amount of money -- even $50 -- can be the perfect amount to invest.</p><p>If you have $50 ready to put to work right now, which won&#39;t be needed at any point over the next couple of years to pay bills or cover emergencies, the following three stocks stand out as no-brainer buys.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NIO\">Nio</a></h2><p>The first surefire stock patient investors can buy with just $50 right now is China-based electric-vehicle (EV) manufacturer <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NIO\">Nio</a>.</p><p>Nio is certainly a stock that investors are going to want to buy with the expectation of holding five or more years. Nio has the potential to be one of the key players that transforms China&#39;s EV industry, but it&#39;s not going to be without its speed bumps.</p><p>For the past three years, China&#39;s COVID-19 mitigation strategy led to unpredictable lockdowns, parts supply shortages, and consumer demand ebbs and flows. This strategy slowed China&#39;s economic growth and delayed Nio&#39;s ability to ramp up its production. These supply chain issues won&#39;t be resolved overnight.</p><p>However, China abandoned its zero-COVID strategy three months ago, which is going to steadily reopen and normalize China&#39;s economy. Over time, this should allow Nio to rapidly increase its output to closer to 50,000 EVs per month. For some context, the company delivered more than 10,000 EVs in each of the seven months leading up to January (January production tapers due to factory closures tied to Chinese New Year).</p><p>Nio&#39;s innovation is what&#39;s truly impressive. It&#39;s been introducing at least one new EV annually for years, and its sedans appear to be a big hit with China&#39;s middle- and upper-income consumers. The ET7 and ET5, which rolled into showrooms last year, offer battery upgrades that can expand their driving range to an estimated 621 miles (1,000 kilometers). That&#39;s nearly double the standard range of <b>Tesla</b>&#39;s flagship Model 3 sedan.</p><p>Nio&#39;s out-of-the-box innovation is just as eye-opening. The company&#39;s battery-as-a-service subscription allows buyers to charge, swap, and upgrade their batteries at more than 1,300 Power Swap stations and over 1,200 Power Charger stations, as well as receive a discount on the purchase price of their EV. In exchange for giving up a little low-margin revenue now, Nio locks customers into a high-margin, recurring revenue subscription that&#39;ll keep them loyal to the brand.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PINS\">Pinterest</a></h2><p>A second stock that stands out as a no-brainer buy with $50 right now is social media company <b>Pinterest.</b></p><p>Like Nio, Pinterest is contending with some short-term headwinds. The biggest of these issues is weaker ad spending, which is a reflection of businesses expecting the U.S. economy to either fall into a recession or weaken considerably as interest rates rise. Since Pinterest is an ad-reliant business, it&#39;s not a surprise to see its revenue growth slowing a bit over the past couple of quarters.</p><p>Despite this short-term slowdown, many of Pinterest&#39;s key performance indicators are still promising. After a pandemic-related pop and subsequent drop in monthly active users (MAUs), Pinterest&#39;s MAUs are, once again, climbing. Panning out five years shows a relatively steady increase in active users.</p><p>More importantly, advertisers are clearly willing to pay a premium to get their message(s) in front of Pinterest&#39;s 450 million potential shoppers. Even though the company&#39;s MAU count grew by a modest 4% in 2022 from the prior-year period, average revenue per user (ARPU) jumped 10% globally last year, with even higher ARPU growth registered outside the U.S. (sans Europe). Pinterest has never had an issue monetizing its user base.</p><p>Something else critically important about Pinterest&#39;s operating model is that it doesn&#39;t require data-tracking tools to be successful. The entire premise of Pinterest&#39;s platform is to have its users willingly share the things, places, and services that interest them on their boards. While declining data-tracking tools might hurt other social media sites, Pinterest can help merchants target customers with ease.</p><p>To build on this point, it also sets the company up to become a leading e-commerce player at some point this decade. It&#39;s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Pinterest&#39;s innovation. That&#39;s what makes this cash-rich and consistently profitable social media stock a screaming buy.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BAC\">Bank of America</a></h2><p>The third stock that makes for a no-brainer buy right now with $50 is financial juggernaut <b>Bank of America</b>.</p><p>Investors usually don&#39;t buy into bank stocks when the U.S. economy looks to be on the verge of a recession. Banks are cyclical, and therefore prone to higher loan losses during recessions. Additionally, the Federal Reserve often lowers interest rates to spur lending activity during a recession, which means lower net-interest-income-earning potential for banks. But this time is different.</p><p>The U.S. inflation rate hit a more than 40-year high in June 2022, and the nation&#39;s central bank is solely focused on taming the rate of price increases for goods and services. It&#39;s accomplishing this by raising interest rates at the fastest pace in four decades. Even if the U.S. economy falls into a recession, the benefit of more net interest income from Bank of America&#39;s variable-rate outstanding loans should more than offset loan losses. In other words, bank stocks can grow their earnings during a recession.</p><p>However, Bank of America isn&#39;t just any old bank stock. It&#39;s the most interest-sensitive of all the domestic money-center banks. During the fourth quarter, BofA&#39;s net interest income grew $3.3 billion from the prior-year period to $14.8 billion.

Since the beginning of 2022, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite have all fallen into respective bear markets.However, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Despite not being able to precisely predict when bear markets will occur, how long they'll last, or where the bottom will be, investors do know that every bear market decline throughout history has eventually been completely recouped (and then some) by a bull market. For long-term investors, it means they have a green light to put their money to work whenever the stock market plunges.Perhaps best of all, you won't need a mountain of money to build wealth on Wall Street. Since most online brokerages have done away with commissions and minimum deposit requirements, any amount of money -- even $50 -- can be the perfect amount to invest.If you have $50 ready to put to work right now, which won't be needed at any point over the next couple of years to pay bills or cover emergencies, the following three stocks stand out as no-brainer buys.NioThe first surefire stock patient investors can buy with just $50 right now is China-based electric-vehicle (EV) manufacturer Nio.Nio is certainly a stock that investors are going to want to buy with the expectation of holding five or more years. Nio has the potential to be one of the key players that transforms China's EV industry, but it's not going to be without its speed bumps.For the past three years, China's COVID-19 mitigation strategy led to unpredictable lockdowns, parts supply shortages, and consumer demand ebbs and flows. This strategy slowed China's economic growth and delayed Nio's ability to ramp up its production. These supply chain issues won't be resolved overnight.However, China abandoned its zero-COVID strategy three months ago, which is going to steadily reopen and normalize China's economy. Over time, this should allow Nio to rapidly increase its output to closer to 50,000 EVs per month. For some context, the company delivered more than 10,000 EVs in each of the seven months leading up to January (January production tapers due to factory closures tied to Chinese New Year).Nio's innovation is what's truly impressive. It's been introducing at least one new EV annually for years, and its sedans appear to be a big hit with China's middle- and upper-income consumers. The ET7 and ET5, which rolled into showrooms last year, offer battery upgrades that can expand their driving range to an estimated 621 miles (1,000 kilometers). That's nearly double the standard range of Tesla's flagship Model 3 sedan.Nio's out-of-the-box innovation is just as eye-opening. The company's battery-as-a-service subscription allows buyers to charge, swap, and upgrade their batteries at more than 1,300 Power Swap stations and over 1,200 Power Charger stations, as well as receive a discount on the purchase price of their EV. In exchange for giving up a little low-margin revenue now, Nio locks customers into a high-margin, recurring revenue subscription that'll keep them loyal to the brand.PinterestA second stock that stands out as a no-brainer buy with $50 right now is social media company Pinterest.Like Nio, Pinterest is contending with some short-term headwinds. The biggest of these issues is weaker ad spending, which is a reflection of businesses expecting the U.S. economy to either fall into a recession or weaken considerably as interest rates rise. Since Pinterest is an ad-reliant business, it's not a surprise to see its revenue growth slowing a bit over the past couple of quarters.Despite this short-term slowdown, many of Pinterest's key performance indicators are still promising. After a pandemic-related pop and subsequent drop in monthly active users (MAUs), Pinterest's MAUs are, once again, climbing. Panning out five years shows a relatively steady increase in active users.More importantly, advertisers are clearly willing to pay a premium to get their message(s) in front of Pinterest's 450 million potential shoppers. Even though the company's MAU count grew by a modest 4% in 2022 from the prior-year period, average revenue per user (ARPU) jumped 10% globally last year, with even higher ARPU growth registered outside the U.S. (sans Europe). Pinterest has never had an issue monetizing its user base.Something else critically important about Pinterest's operating model is that it doesn't require data-tracking tools to be successful. The entire premise of Pinterest's platform is to have its users willingly share the things, places, and services that interest them on their boards. While declining data-tracking tools might hurt other social media sites, Pinterest can help merchants target customers with ease.To build on this point, it also sets the company up to become a leading e-commerce player at some point this decade. It's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Pinterest's innovation. That's what makes this cash-rich and consistently profitable social media stock a screaming buy.Bank of AmericaThe third stock that makes for a no-brainer buy right now with $50 is financial juggernaut Bank of America.Investors usually don't buy into bank stocks when the U.S. economy looks to be on the verge of a recession. Banks are cyclical, and therefore prone to higher loan losses during recessions. Additionally, the Federal Reserve often lowers interest rates to spur lending activity during a recession, which means lower net-interest-income-earning potential for banks. But this time is different.The U.S. inflation rate hit a more than 40-year high in June 2022, and the nation's central bank is solely focused on taming the rate of price increases for goods and services. It's accomplishing this by raising interest rates at the fastest pace in four decades. Even if the U.S. economy falls into a recession, the benefit of more net interest income from Bank of America's variable-rate outstanding loans should more than offset loan losses. In other words, bank stocks can grow their earnings during a recession.However, Bank of America isn't just any old bank stock. It's the most interest-sensitive of all the domestic money-center banks. During the fourth quarter, BofA's net interest income grew $3.3 billion from the prior-year period to $14.8 billion. Take note that the Federal Reserve isn't done increasing interest rates yet, either.Although Bank of America is typically viewed as something of a dinosaur among U.S. banks, it's stealthily done a good job of investing in digitization initiatives and encouraging its customers to bank online or via mobile app. BofA ended 2022 with 44 million active digital users and saw almost half of all sales completed online or via mobile app. As more of its customer base shifts to digital transactions, BofA will have the opportunity to lower its operating expenses by consolidating some of its physical branches.Lastly, don't overlook Bank of America's capital-return program. During bull markets, it's not uncommon for BofA to return in excess of $20 billion annually to investors via share buybacks and its dividend. At a multiple of 9 times Wall Street's forward-year consensus earnings, Bank of America is a deal.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":398,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9957700621,"gmtCreate":1677535511463,"gmtModify":1677535514869,"author":{"id":"3572830110372716","authorId":"3572830110372716","name":"KCtan1688","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb264e77c49fffb1d26a89a47dbc0250","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572830110372716","authorIdStr":"3572830110372716"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":12,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9957700621","repostId":"2314342496","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2314342496","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1677511696,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2314342496?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-02-27 23:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Prediction: These 3 Stocks Will Be Worth Over $1 Trillion by 2030","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2314342496","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"They could join the ranks of Apple, Microsoft, and Alphabet.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>You can count on one hand the number of stocks with market caps of more than $1 trillion that trade on U.S. exchanges. And you&#39;d have a finger or two left over.</p><p><b>Apple</b>, <b>Microsoft</b>, and <b>Alphabet</b> are all clearly above the threshold, and <b>Amazon</b> isn&#39;t too far away from the $1 trillion mark. But there are other stocks that could join the exclusive club in the not-too-distant future. I predict the following three stocks will also be worth over $1 trillion by 2030.</p><h2>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BRK.A\">Berkshire Hathaway</a></h2><p>In my view, <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> (BRK.A) (BRK.B) is the obvious top choice to be the next stock with a $1 trillion market cap. Berkshire currently ranks behind Amazon as the stock that&#39;s closest to the magic number, with its market cap of around $674 billion.</p><p>How can Berkshire Hathaway add another 50% to its current valuation over the next seven years? One possibility is to put its enormous cash stockpile to work. The company continues to buy back its shares quite a bit, which boosts the value of the remaining shares. Warren Buffett and his team have also invested in other publicly traded companies, including adding to Berkshire&#39;s stake in four companies in the fourth quarter of 2022.</p><p>Berkshire also benefits from overall economic growth. Revenue and profits for the company&#39;s insurance, railroad, and energy businesses should increase nicely if the economy performs well in the coming years. Berkshire&#39;s equity holdings, notably including Apple, could help propel its own stock higher, too.</p><p>Perhaps the biggest potential obstacle to Berkshire&#39;s market cap reaching $1 trillion is Buffett&#39;s health. Many investors are drawn to the stock in large part because of the legendary investor&#39;s mystique. Buffett will be 93 in August. Should his health fail, Berkshire stock could fall. For now, though, he appears to be in good health and remains actively involved with the company.</p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">Nvidia</a></h2><p><b>Nvidia</b> (NVDA) stands out as another stock that could realistically hit the $1 trillion market by 2030. The company admittedly has a long way to go to reach the level, with its market cap currently around $573 billion. However, I think Nvidia has what it takes.</p><p>Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks are sizzling-hot right now -- Nvidia is no exception. While the sizzle could fizzle temporarily, the long-term prospects for Nvidia&#39;s graphics processing units (GPUs) in powering AI applications look very bright. As a case in point, the company recently announced the launch of an AI-as-a-service product that will be available through all the major cloud-hosting providers. This new offering will enable any enterprise to use AI.</p><p>While AI is Nvidia&#39;s biggest opportunity, it&#39;s not the only one. The company made its name in the gaming market. Although gaming faces headwinds right now, they should only be temporary. Other significant growth drivers for Nvidia include its Omniverse virtual collaboration and simulation platform and its self-driving car technology.</p><p>It&#39;s possible that Nvidia&#39;s valuation could get in the way of its march to $1 trillion. The stock already has a lot of growth baked into the price, with shares trading at more than 48 times expected earnings. Nvidia could also encounter increased competition over the next few years. Still, I&#39;ll be more surprised if the stock doesn&#39;t have a $1 trillion market cap by 2030 than if it does.</p><h2>3. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a></h2><p><b>Visa</b> (V) might seem like something of a longshot to reach a market cap of $1 trillion. The financial services giant isn&#39;t even halfway there right now, with its market cap below $454 billion. But don&#39;t dismiss Visa&#39;s chances.</p><p>Stock prices and market caps tend to follow earnings. All Visa has to do to join the $1 trillion club is what it&#39;s been doing. The company&#39;s earnings have increased by more than 120% over the past seven years. If Visa keeps up this trend, it should easily attain a market cap of at least $1 trillion by 2030.</p><p>I don&#39;t think Visa will have major problems with earnings growth. The company operates one of the world&#39;s two largest payment rails. The shift away from cash to digital payments appears to be an unstoppable trend. Some have speculated that blockchain could disrupt Visa&#39;s business model. But the company has fully embraced blockchain and could actually be helped more than hurt by the technology.</p><p>Could anything prevent Visa from getting to the $1 trillion level? One thing that comes to mind is that the company has a new CEO as of Feb. 1, 2023. Successful businesses can sometimes stumble after transitions at the top. However, I expect Visa won&#39;t skip a beat with a new person at the helm.</p><h2>Other potential candidates</h2><p>There are other potential candidates that could also attain market caps of $1 trillion or more by 2030. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla</a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XOM\">ExxonMobil</a>, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/UNH\">UnitedHealth Group</a> especially stand out. But I think Berkshire, Nvidia, and Visa appear to be the best bets to reach the mark within the next seven years.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Prediction: These 3 Stocks Will Be Worth Over $1 Trillion by 2030</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\">\nPrediction: These 3 Stocks Will Be Worth Over $1 Trillion by 2030\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-02-27 23:28 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/02/26/prediction-stocks-worth-over-trillion-by-2030/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>You can count on one hand the number of stocks with market caps of more than $1 trillion that trade on U.S. exchanges.

Berkshire currently ranks behind Amazon as the stock that's closest to the magic number, with its market cap of around $674 billion.How can Berkshire Hathaway add another 50% to its current valuation over the next seven years? One possibility is to put its enormous cash stockpile to work. The company continues to buy back its shares quite a bit, which boosts the value of the remaining shares. Warren Buffett and his team have also invested in other publicly traded companies, including adding to Berkshire's stake in four companies in the fourth quarter of 2022.Berkshire also benefits from overall economic growth. Revenue and profits for the company's insurance, railroad, and energy businesses should increase nicely if the economy performs well in the coming years. Berkshire's equity holdings, notably including Apple, could help propel its own stock higher, too.Perhaps the biggest potential obstacle to Berkshire's market cap reaching $1 trillion is Buffett's health. Many investors are drawn to the stock in large part because of the legendary investor's mystique. Buffett will be 93 in August. Should his health fail, Berkshire stock could fall. For now, though, he appears to be in good health and remains actively involved with the company.2. NvidiaNvidia (NVDA) stands out as another stock that could realistically hit the $1 trillion market by 2030. The company admittedly has a long way to go to reach the level, with its market cap currently around $573 billion. However, I think Nvidia has what it takes.Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks are sizzling-hot right now -- Nvidia is no exception. While the sizzle could fizzle temporarily, the long-term prospects for Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) in powering AI applications look very bright. As a case in point, the company recently announced the launch of an AI-as-a-service product that will be available through all the major cloud-hosting providers. This new offering will enable any enterprise to use AI.While AI is Nvidia's biggest opportunity, it's not the only one. The company made its name in the gaming market. Although gaming faces headwinds right now, they should only be temporary. Other significant growth drivers for Nvidia include its Omniverse virtual collaboration and simulation platform and its self-driving car technology.It's possible that Nvidia's valuation could get in the way of its march to $1 trillion. The stock already has a lot of growth baked into the price, with shares trading at more than 48 times expected earnings. Nvidia could also encounter increased competition over the next few years. Still, I'll be more surprised if the stock doesn't have a $1 trillion market cap by 2030 than if it does.3. VisaVisa (V) might seem like something of a longshot to reach a market cap of $1 trillion. The financial services giant isn't even halfway there right now, with its market cap below $454 billion. But don't dismiss Visa's chances.Stock prices and market caps tend to follow earnings. All Visa has to do to join the $1 trillion club is what it's been doing. The company's earnings have increased by more than 120% over the past seven years. If Visa keeps up this trend, it should easily attain a market cap of at least $1 trillion by 2030.I don't think Visa will have major problems with earnings growth. The company operates one of the world's two largest payment rails. The shift away from cash to digital payments appears to be an unstoppable trend. Some have speculated that blockchain could disrupt Visa's business model. But the company has fully embraced blockchain and could actually be helped more than hurt by the technology.Could anything prevent Visa from getting to the $1 trillion level? One thing that comes to mind is that the company has a new CEO as of Feb. 1, 2023. Successful businesses can sometimes stumble after transitions at the top. However, I expect Visa won't skip a beat with a new person at the helm.Other potential candidatesThere are other potential candidates that could also attain market caps of $1 trillion or more by 2030. Tesla, ExxonMobil, and UnitedHealth Group especially stand out. But I think Berkshire, Nvidia, and Visa appear to be the best bets to reach the mark within the next seven years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":352,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9957499315,"gmtCreate":1677467422438,"gmtModify":1677467426516,"author":{"id":"3572830110372716","authorId":"3572830110372716","name":"KCtan1688","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb264e77c49fffb1d26a89a47dbc0250","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572830110372716","authorIdStr":"3572830110372716"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":14,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9957499315","repostId":"2314238672","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2314238672","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1677466852,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2314238672?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-02-27 11:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla’s Analyst Day Is This Week.

But Mr. Buffett retained his sense of optimism in his annual letter to investors Saturday, saying he attributes much of his success over the years to the resilience of the U.S. economy.</p><p>“I have been investing for 80 years—more than one-third of our country’s lifetime. Despite our citizens’ penchant—almost enthusiasm—for self-criticism and self-doubt, I have yet to see a time when it made sense to make a long-term bet against America,” Mr. Buffett said in the letter.</p><p>Mr. Buffett, widely regarded as one of the world’s top investors, has been publishing the letters for more than half a century. Over that time, he hasn’t just reflected on the past year for his company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., but also shared his thoughts on everything from esoteric accounting rules to his aversion to excessive risk-taking.</p><p>Saturday’s letter offered readers a glimpse into how Mr. Buffett, 92, viewed what wound up being a shaky stretch for markets.</p><p>The volatility offered Berkshire an opportunity to jump in and buy stocks. While Berkshire largely bought back its own shares in 2021, it focused more in 2022 on investing in other companies—opening up new positions in media company Paramount Global and building-materials manufacturer Louisiana-Pacific Corp., among other businesses, and swiftly becoming Occidental Petroleum Corp.’s single biggest shareholder.</p><p>As of the end of 2022, Berkshire was the largest shareholder of eight companies—American Express Co., Bank of America Corp., Chevron Corp., Coca-Cola Co., HP Inc., Moody’s Corp., Occidental and Paramount Global.</p><p>“America would have done fine without Berkshire. The reverse is not true,” Mr. Buffett said.</p><p>Berkshire also released its results for 2022 on Saturday.</p><p>The Omaha, Neb., company, which owns businesses including insurer Geico, railroad BNSF Railway and chocolate maker See’s Candies, posted a loss of $22.82 billion for the year, stung by $67.9 billion in investment and derivative contract losses. In 2021, Berkshire posted a profit of $90.8 billion.</p><p>Total revenue rose 9.4% to $302.1 billion.</p><p>Berkshire’s operating earnings, which exclude some investment results, rose to a record $30.8 billion.</p><p>Mr. Buffett, Berkshire’s chief executive, has long held that operating earnings are a better reflection of how Berkshire is doing, since accounting rules require the company to include unrealized gains and losses from its massive investment portfolio in its net income. Volatile markets can make Berkshire’s net income change substantially from quarter to quarter, regardless of how its underlying businesses are doing.</p><p>“Capital gains, to be sure, have been hugely important to Berkshire over past decades, and we expect them to be meaningfully positive in future decades,” Mr. Buffett said in his letter. “But their quarter-by-quarter gyrations, regularly and mindlessly headlined by media, totally misinform investors,” he said, adding that he and his right-hand man Charlie Munger urged shareholders to focus instead on Berkshire’s operating earnings, which rose to a record for the full year in 2022.</p><h2>Read the full letter here:</h2><p>To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:</p><p>Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing the savings of a great number of individuals. We are grateful for their enduring trust, a relationship that often spans much of their adult lifetime. It is those dedicated savers that are forefront in my mind as I write this letter.</p><p>A common belief is that people choose to save when young, expecting thereby to maintain their living standards after retirement. Any assets that remain at death, this theory says, will usually be left to their families or, possibly, to friends and philanthropy.</p><p>Our experience has differed. We believe Berkshire’s individual holders largely to be of the once-a-saver, always-a-saver variety. Though these people live well, they eventually dispense most of their funds to philanthropic organizations. These, in turn, redistribute the funds by expenditures intended to improve the lives of a great many people who are unrelated to the original benefactor. Sometimes, the results have been spectacular.</p><p>The disposition of money unmasks humans. Charlie and I watch with pleasure the vast flow of Berkshire-generated funds to public needs and, alongside, the infrequency with which our shareholders opt for look-at-me assets and dynasty-building.</p><p>Who wouldn’t enjoy working for shareholders like ours?</p><h2>What We Do</h2><p>Charlie and I allocate your savings at Berkshire between two related forms of ownership. First, we invest in businesses that we control, usually buying 100% of each. Berkshire directs capital allocation at these subsidiaries and selects the CEOs who make day-by-day operating decisions. When large enterprises are being managed, both trust and rules are essential. Berkshire emphasizes the former to an unusual – some would say extreme – degree. Disappointments are inevitable. We are understanding about business mistakes; our tolerance for personal misconduct is zero.</p><p>In our second category of ownership, we buy publicly-traded stocks through which we passively own pieces of businesses. Holding these investments, we have no say in management.</p><p>Our goal in both forms of ownership is to make meaningful investments in businesses with both long-lasting favorable economic characteristics and trustworthy managers. Please note particularly that we own publicly-traded stocks based on our expectations about their long-term business performance, not because we view them as vehicles for adroit purchases and sales. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.</p><p>Over the years, I have made many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses currently consists of a few enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many that enjoy very good economic characteristics, and a large group that are marginal. Along the way, other businesses in which I have invested have died, their products unwanted by the public. Capitalism has two sides: The system creates an ever-growing pile of losers while concurrently delivering a gusher of improved goods and services. Schumpeter called this phenomenon “creative destruction.”</p><p>One advantage of our publicly-traded segment is that – episodically – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. It’s crucial to understand that stocks often trade at truly foolish prices, both high and low. “Efficient” markets exist only in textbooks. In truth, marketable stocks and bonds are baffling, their behavior usually understandable only in retrospect.</p><p>Controlled businesses are a different breed. They sometimes command ridiculously higher prices than justified but are almost never available at bargain valuations. Unless under duress, the owner of a controlled business gives no thought to selling at a panic-type valuation.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>At this point, a report card from me is appropriate: In 58 years of Berkshire management, most of my capital-allocation decisions have been no better than so-so. In some cases, also, bad moves by me have been rescued by very large doses of luck. (Remember our escapes from near-disasters at USAir and Salomon? I certainly do.)</p><p>Our satisfactory results have been the product of about a dozen truly good decisions – that would be about one every five years – and a sometimes-forgotten advantage that favors long-term investors such as Berkshire. Let’s take a peek behind the curtain.</p><h2>The Secret Sauce</h2><p>In August 1994 – yes, 1994 – Berkshire completed its seven-year purchase of the 400 million shares of Coca-Cola we now own. The total cost was $1.3 billion – then a very meaningful sum at Berkshire.</p><p>The cash dividend we received from Coke in 1994 was $75 million. By 2022, the dividend had increased to $704 million. Growth occurred every year, just as certain as birthdays. All Charlie and I were required to do was cash Coke’s quarterly dividend checks. We expect that those checks are highly likely to grow.</p><p>American Express is much the same story. Berkshire’s purchases of Amex were essentially completed in 1995 and, coincidentally, also cost $1.3 billion. Annual dividends received from this investment have grown from $41 million to $302 million. Those checks, too, seem highly likely to increase.</p><p>These dividend gains, though pleasing, are far from spectacular. But they bring with them important gains in stock prices. At yearend, our Coke investment was valued at $25 billion while Amex was recorded at $22 billion. Each holding now accounts for roughly 5% of Berkshire’s net worth, akin to its weighting long ago.</p><p>Assume, for a moment, I had made a similarly-sized investment mistake in the 1990s, one that flat-lined and simply retained its $1.3 billion value in 2022. (An example would be a high-grade 30-year bond.) That disappointing investment would now represent an insignificant 0.3% of Berkshire’s net worth and would be delivering to us an unchanged $80 million or so of annual income.</p><p>The lesson for investors: The weeds wither away in significance as the flowers bloom. Over time, it takes just a few winners to work wonders. And, yes, it helps to start early and live into your 90s as well.</p><h2>The Past Year in Brief</h2><p>Berkshire had a good year in 2022. The company’s operating earnings – our term for income calculated using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), exclusive of capital gains or losses from equity holdings – set a record at $30.8 billion. Charlie and I focus on this operational figure and urge you to do so as well. The GAAP figure, absent our adjustment, fluctuates wildly and capriciously at every reporting date. Note its acrobatic behavior in 2022, which is in no way unusual:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/69e74650656620f9fa3f1e55c15a90e5\" tg-width=\"797\" tg-height=\"207\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>The GAAP earnings are 100% misleading when viewed quarterly or even annually. Capital gains, to be sure, have been hugely important to Berkshire over past decades, and we expect them to be meaningfully positive in future decades. But their quarter-by-quarter gyrations, regularly and mindlessly headlined by media, totally misinform investors.</p><p>A second positive development for Berkshire last year was our purchase of Alleghany Corporation, a property-casualty insurer captained by Joe Brandon. I’ve worked with Joe in the past, and he understands both Berkshire  and insurance. Alleghany delivers special value to us because Berkshire’s unmatched financial strength allows its insurance subsidiaries to follow valuable and enduring investment strategies unavailable to virtually all competitors.</p><p>Aided by Alleghany, our insurance float increased during 2022 from $147 billion to $164 billion. With disciplined underwriting, these funds have a decent chance of being cost-free over time. Since purchasing our first property-casualty insurer in 1967, Berkshire’s float has increased 8,000-fold through acquisitions, operations and innovations. Though not recognized in our financial statements, this float has been an extraordinary asset for Berkshire. New shareholders can get an understanding of its value by reading our annually updated explanation of float on page A-2.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>A very minor gain in per-share intrinsic value took place in 2022 through Berkshire share repurchases as well as similar moves at Apple and American Express, both significant investees of ours. At Berkshire, we directly increased your interest in our unique collection of businesses by repurchasing 1.2% of the company’s outstanding shares. At Apple and Amex, repurchases increased Berkshire’s ownership a bit without any cost to us.</p><p>The math isn’t complicated: When the share count goes down, your interest in our many businesses goes up. Every small bit helps if repurchases are made at value-accretive prices. Just as surely, when a company overpays for repurchases, the continuing shareholders lose. At such times, gains flow only to the selling shareholders and to the friendly, but expensive, investment banker who recommended the foolish purchases.</p><p>Gains from value-accretive repurchases, it should be emphasized, benefit all owners – in every respect. Imagine, if you will, three fully-informed shareholders of a local auto dealership, one of whom manages the business. Imagine, further, that one of the passive owners wishes to sell his interest back to the company at a price attractive to the two continuing shareholders. When completed, has this transaction harmed anyone? Is the manager somehow favored over the continuing passive owners? Has the public been hurt?</p><p>When you are told that all repurchases are harmful to shareholders or to the country, or particularly beneficial to CEOs, you are listening to either an economic illiterate or a silver-tongued demagogue (characters that are not mutually exclusive).</p><p>Almost endless details of Berkshire’s 2022 operations are laid out on pages K-33 – K-66. Charlie and I, along with many Berkshire shareholders, enjoy poring over the many facts and figures laid out in that section. These pages are not, however, required reading. There are many Berkshire centimillionaires and, yes, billionaires who have never studied our financial figures. They simply know that Charlie and I – along with our families and close friends – continue to have very significant investments in Berkshire, and they trust us to treat their money as we do our own.</p><p>And that is a promise we can make.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Finally, an important warning: Even the operating earnings figure that we favor can easily be manipulated by managers who wish to do so. Such tampering is often thought of as sophisticated by CEOs, directors and their advisors. Reporters and analysts embrace its existence as well. Beating “expectations” is heralded as a managerial triumph.</p><p>That activity is disgusting. It requires no talent to manipulate numbers: Only a deep desire to deceive is required. “Bold imaginative accounting,” as a CEO once described his deception to me, has become one of the shames of capitalism.</p><h2>58 Years – and a Few Figures</h2><p>In 1965, Berkshire was a one-trick pony, the owner of a venerable – but doomed – New England textile operation. With that business on a death march, Berkshire needed an immediate fresh start. Looking back, I was slow to recognize the severity of its problems.</p><p>And then came a stroke of good luck: National Indemnity became available in 1967, and we shifted our resources toward insurance and other non-textile operations.</p><p>Thus began our journey to 2023, a bumpy road involving a combination of continuous savings by our owners (that is, by their retaining earnings), the power of compounding, our avoidance of major mistakes and – most important of all – the American Tailwind. America would have done fine without Berkshire. The reverse is not true.</p><p>Berkshire now enjoys major ownership in an unmatched collection of huge and diversified businesses. Let’s first look at the 5,000 or so publicly-held companies that trade daily on NASDAQ, the NYSE and related venues. Within this group is housed the members of the S&amp;P 500 Index, an elite collection of large and well-known American companies.</p><p>In aggregate, the 500 earned $1.8 trillion in 2021. I don’t yet have the final results for 2022. Using, therefore, the 2021 figures, only 128 of the 500 (including Berkshire itself) earned $3 billion or more. Indeed, 23 lost money.</p><p>At yearend 2022, Berkshire was the largest owner of eight of these giants: American Express, Bank of America, Chevron, Coca-Cola, HP Inc., Moody’s, Occidental Petroleum and Paramount Global.</p><p>In addition to those eight investees, Berkshire owns 100% of BNSF and 92% of BH Energy, each with earnings that exceed the $3 billion mark noted above ($5.9 billion at BNSF and</p><p>$4.3 billion at BHE). Were these companies publicly-owned, they would replace two present members of the 500. All told, our ten controlled and non-controlled behemoths leave Berkshire more broadly aligned with the country’s economic future than is the case at any other U.S. company. (This calculation leaves aside “fiduciary” operations such as pension funds and investment companies.) In addition, Berkshire’s insurance operation, though conducted through many individually-managed subsidiaries, has a value comparable to BNSF or BHE.</p><p>As for the future, Berkshire will always hold a boatload of cash and U.S. Treasury bills along with a wide array of businesses. We will also avoid behavior that could result in any uncomfortable cash needs at inconvenient times, including financial panics and unprecedented insurance losses. Our CEO will always be the Chief Risk Officer – a task it is irresponsible to delegate. Additionally, our future CEOs will have a significant part of their net worth in Berkshire shares, bought with their own money. And yes, our shareholders will continue to save and prosper by retaining earnings.</p><p>At Berkshire, there will be no finish line.</p><h2>Some Surprising Facts About Federal Taxes</h2><p>During the decade ending in 2021, the United States Treasury received about $32.3 trillion in taxes while it spent $43.9 trillion.</p><p>Though economists, politicians and many of the public have opinions about the consequences of that huge imbalance, Charlie and I plead ignorance and firmly believe that near-term economic and market forecasts are worse than useless. Our job is to manage Berkshire’s operations and finances in a manner that will achieve an acceptable result over time and that will preserve the company’s unmatched staying power when financial panics or severe worldwide recessions occur. Berkshire also offers some modest protection from runaway inflation, but this attribute is far from perfect. Huge and entrenched fiscal deficits have consequences.</p><p>The $32 trillion of revenue was garnered by the Treasury through individual income taxes (48%), social security and related receipts (3412%), corporate income tax payments (812%) and a wide variety of lesser levies. Berkshire’s contribution via the corporate income tax was $32 billion during the decade, almost exactly a tenth of 1% of all money that the Treasury collected.</p><p>And that means – brace yourself – had there been roughly 1,000 taxpayers in the U.S. matching Berkshire’s payments, no other businesses nor any of the country’s 131 million households would have needed to pay any taxes to the federal government. Not a dime.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Millions, billions, trillions – we all know the words, but the sums involved are almost impossible to comprehend. Let’s put physical dimensions to the numbers:</p><p>- If you convert $1 million into newly-printed $100 bills, you will have a stack that reaches your chest.</p><p>- Perform the same exercise with $1 billion – this is getting exciting! – and the stack reaches about 34 of a mile into the sky.</p><p>- Finally, imagine piling up $32 billion, the total of Berkshire’s 2012-21 federal income tax payments. Now the stack grows to more than 21 miles in height, about three times the level at which commercial airplanes usually cruise.</p><p>When it comes to federal taxes, individuals who own Berkshire can unequivocally state “I gave at the office.”</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>At Berkshire we hope and expect to pay much more in taxes during the next decade. We owe the country no less: America’s dynamism has made a huge contribution to whatever success Berkshire has achieved – a contribution Berkshire will always need. We count on the American Tailwind and, though it has been becalmed from time to time, its propelling force has always returned.</p><p>I have been investing for 80 years – more than one-third of our country’s lifetime. Despite our citizens’ penchant – almost enthusiasm – for self-criticism and self-doubt, I have yet to see a time when it made sense to make a long-term bet against America. And I doubt very much that any reader of this letter will have a different experience in the future.</p><h2>Nothing Beats Having a Great Partner</h2><p>Charlie and I think pretty much alike. But what it takes me a page to explain, he sums up in a sentence. His version, moreover, is always more clearly reasoned and also more artfully – some might add bluntly – stated.</p><p>Here are a few of his thoughts, many lifted from a very recent podcast:</p><p>- The world is full of foolish gamblers, and they will not do as well as the patient investor.</p><p>- If you don’t see the world the way it is, it’s like judging something through a distorted lens.</p><p>- All I want to know is where I’m going to die, so I’ll never go there. And a related thought: Early on, write your desired obituary – and then behave accordingly.</p><p>- If you don’t care whether you are rational or not, you won’t work on it. Then you will stay irrational and get lousy results.</p><p>- Patience can be learned. Having a long attention span and the ability to concentrate on one thing for a long time is a huge advantage.</p><p>- You can learn a lot from dead people. Read of the deceased you admire and detest.</p><p>- Don’t bail away in a sinking boat if you can swim to one that is seaworthy.</p><p>- A great company keeps working after you are not; a mediocre company won’t do that.</p><p>- Warren and I don’t focus on the froth of the market. We seek out good long-term investments and stubbornly hold them for a long time.</p><p>- Ben Graham said, “Day to day, the stock market is a voting machine; in the long term it’s a weighing machine.” If you keep making something more valuable, then some wise person is going to notice it and start buying.</p><p>- There is no such thing as a 100% sure thing when investing. Thus, the use of leverage is dangerous. A string of wonderful numbers times zero will always equal zero. Don’t count on getting rich twice.</p><p>- You don’t, however, need to own a lot of things in order to get rich.</p><p>- You have to keep learning if you want to become a great investor. When the world changes, you must change.</p><p>- Warren and I hated railroad stocks for decades, but the world changed and finally the country had four huge railroads of vital importance to the American economy. We were slow to recognize the change, but better late than never.</p><p>- Finally, I will add two short sentences by Charlie that have been his decision-clinchers for decades: “Warren, think more about it. You’re smart and I’m right.”</p><p>And so it goes. I never have a phone call with Charlie without learning something. And, while he makes me think, he also makes me laugh.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>I will add to Charlie’s list a rule of my own:   Find   a   very   smart   high-grade partner – preferably slightly older than you – and then listen very carefully to what he says.</p><h2>A Family Gathering in Omaha</h2><p>Charlie and I are shameless. Last year, at our first shareholder get-together in three years, we greeted you with our usual commercial hustle.</p><p>From the opening bell, we went straight for your wallet. In short order, our See’s kiosk sold you eleven tons of nourishing peanut brittle and chocolates. In our P.T. Barnum pitch, we promised you longevity. After all, what else but candy from See’s could account for Charlie and me making it to 99 and 92?</p><p>I know you can’t wait to hear the specifics of last year’s hustle.</p><p>On Friday, the doors were open from noon until 5 p.m., and our candy counters rang up 2,690 individual sales. On Saturday, See’s registered an additional 3,931 transactions between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., despite the fact that 612 of the 912 operating hours occurred while our movie and the question-and-answer session were limiting commercial traffic.</p><p>Do the math: See’s rang up about 10 sales per minute during its prime operating time (racking up $400,309 of volume during the two days), with all the goods purchased at a single location selling products that haven’t been materially altered in 101 years.

But Mr. Buffett retained his sense of optimism in his annual letter to investors Saturday, saying he attributes much of his success over the years to the resilience of the U.S. economy.</p><p>“I have been investing for 80 years—more than one-third of our country’s lifetime. Despite our citizens’ penchant—almost enthusiasm—for self-criticism and self-doubt, I have yet to see a time when it made sense to make a long-term bet against America,” Mr. Buffett said in the letter.</p><p>Mr. Buffett, widely regarded as one of the world’s top investors, has been publishing the letters for more than half a century. Over that time, he hasn’t just reflected on the past year for his company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., but also shared his thoughts on everything from esoteric accounting rules to his aversion to excessive risk-taking.</p><p>Saturday’s letter offered readers a glimpse into how Mr. Buffett, 92, viewed what wound up being a shaky stretch for markets.</p><p>The volatility offered Berkshire an opportunity to jump in and buy stocks. While Berkshire largely bought back its own shares in 2021, it focused more in 2022 on investing in other companies—opening up new positions in media company Paramount Global and building-materials manufacturer Louisiana-Pacific Corp., among other businesses, and swiftly becoming Occidental Petroleum Corp.’s single biggest shareholder.</p><p>As of the end of 2022, Berkshire was the largest shareholder of eight companies—American Express Co., Bank of America Corp., Chevron Corp., Coca-Cola Co., HP Inc., Moody’s Corp., Occidental and Paramount Global.</p><p>“America would have done fine without Berkshire. The reverse is not true,” Mr. Buffett said.</p><p>Berkshire also released its results for 2022 on Saturday.</p><p>The Omaha, Neb., company, which owns businesses including insurer Geico, railroad BNSF Railway and chocolate maker See’s Candies, posted a loss of $22.82 billion for the year, stung by $67.9 billion in investment and derivative contract losses. In 2021, Berkshire posted a profit of $90.8 billion.</p><p>Total revenue rose 9.4% to $302.1 billion.</p><p>Berkshire’s operating earnings, which exclude some investment results, rose to a record $30.8 billion.</p><p>Mr. Buffett, Berkshire’s chief executive, has long held that operating earnings are a better reflection of how Berkshire is doing, since accounting rules require the company to include unrealized gains and losses from its massive investment portfolio in its net income. Volatile markets can make Berkshire’s net income change substantially from quarter to quarter, regardless of how its underlying businesses are doing.</p><p>“Capital gains, to be sure, have been hugely important to Berkshire over past decades, and we expect them to be meaningfully positive in future decades,” Mr. Buffett said in his letter. “But their quarter-by-quarter gyrations, regularly and mindlessly headlined by media, totally misinform investors,” he said, adding that he and his right-hand man Charlie Munger urged shareholders to focus instead on Berkshire’s operating earnings, which rose to a record for the full year in 2022.</p><h2>Read the full letter here:</h2><p>To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:</p><p>Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing the savings of a great number of individuals. We are grateful for their enduring trust, a relationship that often spans much of their adult lifetime. It is those dedicated savers that are forefront in my mind as I write this letter.</p><p>A common belief is that people choose to save when young, expecting thereby to maintain their living standards after retirement. Any assets that remain at death, this theory says, will usually be left to their families or, possibly, to friends and philanthropy.</p><p>Our experience has differed. We believe Berkshire’s individual holders largely to be of the once-a-saver, always-a-saver variety. Though these people live well, they eventually dispense most of their funds to philanthropic organizations. These, in turn, redistribute the funds by expenditures intended to improve the lives of a great many people who are unrelated to the original benefactor. Sometimes, the results have been spectacular.</p><p>The disposition of money unmasks humans. Charlie and I watch with pleasure the vast flow of Berkshire-generated funds to public needs and, alongside, the infrequency with which our shareholders opt for look-at-me assets and dynasty-building.</p><p>Who wouldn’t enjoy working for shareholders like ours?</p><h2>What We Do</h2><p>Charlie and I allocate your savings at Berkshire between two related forms of ownership. First, we invest in businesses that we control, usually buying 100% of each. Berkshire directs capital allocation at these subsidiaries and selects the CEOs who make day-by-day operating decisions. When large enterprises are being managed, both trust and rules are essential. Berkshire emphasizes the former to an unusual – some would say extreme – degree. Disappointments are inevitable. We are understanding about business mistakes; our tolerance for personal misconduct is zero.</p><p>In our second category of ownership, we buy publicly-traded stocks through which we passively own pieces of businesses. Holding these investments, we have no say in management.</p><p>Our goal in both forms of ownership is to make meaningful investments in businesses with both long-lasting favorable economic characteristics and trustworthy managers. Please note particularly that we own publicly-traded stocks based on our expectations about their long-term business performance, not because we view them as vehicles for adroit purchases and sales. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.</p><p>Over the years, I have made many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses currently consists of a few enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many that enjoy very good economic characteristics, and a large group that are marginal. Along the way, other businesses in which I have invested have died, their products unwanted by the public. Capitalism has two sides: The system creates an ever-growing pile of losers while concurrently delivering a gusher of improved goods and services. Schumpeter called this phenomenon “creative destruction.”</p><p>One advantage of our publicly-traded segment is that – episodically – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. It’s crucial to understand that stocks often trade at truly foolish prices, both high and low. “Efficient” markets exist only in textbooks. In truth, marketable stocks and bonds are baffling, their behavior usually understandable only in retrospect.</p><p>Controlled businesses are a different breed. They sometimes command ridiculously higher prices than justified but are almost never available at bargain valuations. Unless under duress, the owner of a controlled business gives no thought to selling at a panic-type valuation.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>At this point, a report card from me is appropriate: In 58 years of Berkshire management, most of my capital-allocation decisions have been no better than so-so. In some cases, also, bad moves by me have been rescued by very large doses of luck. (Remember our escapes from near-disasters at USAir and Salomon? I certainly do.)</p><p>Our satisfactory results have been the product of about a dozen truly good decisions – that would be about one every five years – and a sometimes-forgotten advantage that favors long-term investors such as Berkshire. Let’s take a peek behind the curtain.</p><h2>The Secret Sauce</h2><p>In August 1994 – yes, 1994 – Berkshire completed its seven-year purchase of the 400 million shares of Coca-Cola we now own. The total cost was $1.3 billion – then a very meaningful sum at Berkshire.</p><p>The cash dividend we received from Coke in 1994 was $75 million. By 2022, the dividend had increased to $704 million. Growth occurred every year, just as certain as birthdays. All Charlie and I were required to do was cash Coke’s quarterly dividend checks. We expect that those checks are highly likely to grow.</p><p>American Express is much the same story. Berkshire’s purchases of Amex were essentially completed in 1995 and, coincidentally, also cost $1.3 billion. Annual dividends received from this investment have grown from $41 million to $302 million. Those checks, too, seem highly likely to increase.</p><p>These dividend gains, though pleasing, are far from spectacular. But they bring with them important gains in stock prices. At yearend, our Coke investment was valued at $25 billion while Amex was recorded at $22 billion. Each holding now accounts for roughly 5% of Berkshire’s net worth, akin to its weighting long ago.</p><p>Assume, for a moment, I had made a similarly-sized investment mistake in the 1990s, one that flat-lined and simply retained its $1.3 billion value in 2022. (An example would be a high-grade 30-year bond.) That disappointing investment would now represent an insignificant 0.3% of Berkshire’s net worth and would be delivering to us an unchanged $80 million or so of annual income.</p><p>The lesson for investors: The weeds wither away in significance as the flowers bloom. Over time, it takes just a few winners to work wonders. And, yes, it helps to start early and live into your 90s as well.</p><h2>The Past Year in Brief</h2><p>Berkshire had a good year in 2022. The company’s operating earnings – our term for income calculated using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), exclusive of capital gains or losses from equity holdings – set a record at $30.8 billion. Charlie and I focus on this operational figure and urge you to do so as well. The GAAP figure, absent our adjustment, fluctuates wildly and capriciously at every reporting date. Note its acrobatic behavior in 2022, which is in no way unusual:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/69e74650656620f9fa3f1e55c15a90e5\" tg-width=\"797\" tg-height=\"207\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>The GAAP earnings are 100% misleading when viewed quarterly or even annually. Capital gains, to be sure, have been hugely important to Berkshire over past decades, and we expect them to be meaningfully positive in future decades. But their quarter-by-quarter gyrations, regularly and mindlessly headlined by media, totally misinform investors.</p><p>A second positive development for Berkshire last year was our purchase of Alleghany Corporation, a property-casualty insurer captained by Joe Brandon. I’ve worked with Joe in the past, and he understands both Berkshire  and insurance. Alleghany delivers special value to us because Berkshire’s unmatched financial strength allows its insurance subsidiaries to follow valuable and enduring investment strategies unavailable to virtually all competitors.</p><p>Aided by Alleghany, our insurance float increased during 2022 from $147 billion to $164 billion. With disciplined underwriting, these funds have a decent chance of being cost-free over time. Since purchasing our first property-casualty insurer in 1967, Berkshire’s float has increased 8,000-fold through acquisitions, operations and innovations. Though not recognized in our financial statements, this float has been an extraordinary asset for Berkshire. New shareholders can get an understanding of its value by reading our annually updated explanation of float on page A-2.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>A very minor gain in per-share intrinsic value took place in 2022 through Berkshire share repurchases as well as similar moves at Apple and American Express, both significant investees of ours. At Berkshire, we directly increased your interest in our unique collection of businesses by repurchasing 1.2% of the company’s outstanding shares. At Apple and Amex, repurchases increased Berkshire’s ownership a bit without any cost to us.</p><p>The math isn’t complicated: When the share count goes down, your interest in our many businesses goes up. Every small bit helps if repurchases are made at value-accretive prices. Just as surely, when a company overpays for repurchases, the continuing shareholders lose. At such times, gains flow only to the selling shareholders and to the friendly, but expensive, investment banker who recommended the foolish purchases.</p><p>Gains from value-accretive repurchases, it should be emphasized, benefit all owners – in every respect. Imagine, if you will, three fully-informed shareholders of a local auto dealership, one of whom manages the business. Imagine, further, that one of the passive owners wishes to sell his interest back to the company at a price attractive to the two continuing shareholders. When completed, has this transaction harmed anyone? Is the manager somehow favored over the continuing passive owners? Has the public been hurt?</p><p>When you are told that all repurchases are harmful to shareholders or to the country, or particularly beneficial to CEOs, you are listening to either an economic illiterate or a silver-tongued demagogue (characters that are not mutually exclusive).</p><p>Almost endless details of Berkshire’s 2022 operations are laid out on pages K-33 – K-66. Charlie and I, along with many Berkshire shareholders, enjoy poring over the many facts and figures laid out in that section. These pages are not, however, required reading. There are many Berkshire centimillionaires and, yes, billionaires who have never studied our financial figures. They simply know that Charlie and I – along with our families and close friends – continue to have very significant investments in Berkshire, and they trust us to treat their money as we do our own.</p><p>And that is a promise we can make.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Finally, an important warning: Even the operating earnings figure that we favor can easily be manipulated by managers who wish to do so. Such tampering is often thought of as sophisticated by CEOs, directors and their advisors. Reporters and analysts embrace its existence as well. Beating “expectations” is heralded as a managerial triumph.</p><p>That activity is disgusting. It requires no talent to manipulate numbers: Only a deep desire to deceive is required. “Bold imaginative accounting,” as a CEO once described his deception to me, has become one of the shames of capitalism.</p><h2>58 Years – and a Few Figures</h2><p>In 1965, Berkshire was a one-trick pony, the owner of a venerable – but doomed – New England textile operation. With that business on a death march, Berkshire needed an immediate fresh start. Looking back, I was slow to recognize the severity of its problems.</p><p>And then came a stroke of good luck: National Indemnity became available in 1967, and we shifted our resources toward insurance and other non-textile operations.</p><p>Thus began our journey to 2023, a bumpy road involving a combination of continuous savings by our owners (that is, by their retaining earnings), the power of compounding, our avoidance of major mistakes and – most important of all – the American Tailwind. America would have done fine without Berkshire. The reverse is not true.</p><p>Berkshire now enjoys major ownership in an unmatched collection of huge and diversified businesses. Let’s first look at the 5,000 or so publicly-held companies that trade daily on NASDAQ, the NYSE and related venues. Within this group is housed the members of the S&amp;P 500 Index, an elite collection of large and well-known American companies.</p><p>In aggregate, the 500 earned $1.8 trillion in 2021. I don’t yet have the final results for 2022. Using, therefore, the 2021 figures, only 128 of the 500 (including Berkshire itself) earned $3 billion or more. Indeed, 23 lost money.</p><p>At yearend 2022, Berkshire was the largest owner of eight of these giants: American Express, Bank of America, Chevron, Coca-Cola, HP Inc., Moody’s, Occidental Petroleum and Paramount Global.</p><p>In addition to those eight investees, Berkshire owns 100% of BNSF and 92% of BH Energy, each with earnings that exceed the $3 billion mark noted above ($5.9 billion at BNSF and</p><p>$4.3 billion at BHE). Were these companies publicly-owned, they would replace two present members of the 500. All told, our ten controlled and non-controlled behemoths leave Berkshire more broadly aligned with the country’s economic future than is the case at any other U.S. company. (This calculation leaves aside “fiduciary” operations such as pension funds and investment companies.) In addition, Berkshire’s insurance operation, though conducted through many individually-managed subsidiaries, has a value comparable to BNSF or BHE.</p><p>As for the future, Berkshire will always hold a boatload of cash and U.S. Treasury bills along with a wide array of businesses. We will also avoid behavior that could result in any uncomfortable cash needs at inconvenient times, including financial panics and unprecedented insurance losses. Our CEO will always be the Chief Risk Officer – a task it is irresponsible to delegate. Additionally, our future CEOs will have a significant part of their net worth in Berkshire shares, bought with their own money. And yes, our shareholders will continue to save and prosper by retaining earnings.</p><p>At Berkshire, there will be no finish line.</p><h2>Some Surprising Facts About Federal Taxes</h2><p>During the decade ending in 2021, the United States Treasury received about $32.3 trillion in taxes while it spent $43.9 trillion.</p><p>Though economists, politicians and many of the public have opinions about the consequences of that huge imbalance, Charlie and I plead ignorance and firmly believe that near-term economic and market forecasts are worse than useless. Our job is to manage Berkshire’s operations and finances in a manner that will achieve an acceptable result over time and that will preserve the company’s unmatched staying power when financial panics or severe worldwide recessions occur. Berkshire also offers some modest protection from runaway inflation, but this attribute is far from perfect. Huge and entrenched fiscal deficits have consequences.</p><p>The $32 trillion of revenue was garnered by the Treasury through individual income taxes (48%), social security and related receipts (3412%), corporate income tax payments (812%) and a wide variety of lesser levies. Berkshire’s contribution via the corporate income tax was $32 billion during the decade, almost exactly a tenth of 1% of all money that the Treasury collected.</p><p>And that means – brace yourself – had there been roughly 1,000 taxpayers in the U.S. matching Berkshire’s payments, no other businesses nor any of the country’s 131 million households would have needed to pay any taxes to the federal government. Not a dime.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Millions, billions, trillions – we all know the words, but the sums involved are almost impossible to comprehend. Let’s put physical dimensions to the numbers:</p><p>- If you convert $1 million into newly-printed $100 bills, you will have a stack that reaches your chest.</p><p>- Perform the same exercise with $1 billion – this is getting exciting! – and the stack reaches about 34 of a mile into the sky.</p><p>- Finally, imagine piling up $32 billion, the total of Berkshire’s 2012-21 federal income tax payments. Now the stack grows to more than 21 miles in height, about three times the level at which commercial airplanes usually cruise.</p><p>When it comes to federal taxes, individuals who own Berkshire can unequivocally state “I gave at the office.”</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>At Berkshire we hope and expect to pay much more in taxes during the next decade. We owe the country no less: America’s dynamism has made a huge contribution to whatever success Berkshire has achieved – a contribution Berkshire will always need. We count on the American Tailwind and, though it has been becalmed from time to time, its propelling force has always returned.</p><p>I have been investing for 80 years – more than one-third of our country’s lifetime. Despite our citizens’ penchant – almost enthusiasm – for self-criticism and self-doubt, I have yet to see a time when it made sense to make a long-term bet against America. And I doubt very much that any reader of this letter will have a different experience in the future.</p><h2>Nothing Beats Having a Great Partner</h2><p>Charlie and I think pretty much alike. But what it takes me a page to explain, he sums up in a sentence. His version, moreover, is always more clearly reasoned and also more artfully – some might add bluntly – stated.</p><p>Here are a few of his thoughts, many lifted from a very recent podcast:</p><p>- The world is full of foolish gamblers, and they will not do as well as the patient investor.</p><p>- If you don’t see the world the way it is, it’s like judging something through a distorted lens.</p><p>- All I want to know is where I’m going to die, so I’ll never go there. And a related thought: Early on, write your desired obituary – and then behave accordingly.</p><p>- If you don’t care whether you are rational or not, you won’t work on it. Then you will stay irrational and get lousy results.</p><p>- Patience can be learned. Having a long attention span and the ability to concentrate on one thing for a long time is a huge advantage.</p><p>- You can learn a lot from dead people. Read of the deceased you admire and detest.</p><p>- Don’t bail away in a sinking boat if you can swim to one that is seaworthy.</p><p>- A great company keeps working after you are not; a mediocre company won’t do that.</p><p>- Warren and I don’t focus on the froth of the market. We seek out good long-term investments and stubbornly hold them for a long time.</p><p>- Ben Graham said, “Day to day, the stock market is a voting machine; in the long term it’s a weighing machine.” If you keep making something more valuable, then some wise person is going to notice it and start buying.</p><p>- There is no such thing as a 100% sure thing when investing. Thus, the use of leverage is dangerous. A string of wonderful numbers times zero will always equal zero. Don’t count on getting rich twice.</p><p>- You don’t, however, need to own a lot of things in order to get rich.</p><p>- You have to keep learning if you want to become a great investor. When the world changes, you must change.</p><p>- Warren and I hated railroad stocks for decades, but the world changed and finally the country had four huge railroads of vital importance to the American economy. We were slow to recognize the change, but better late than never.</p><p>- Finally, I will add two short sentences by Charlie that have been his decision-clinchers for decades: “Warren, think more about it. You’re smart and I’m right.”</p><p>And so it goes. I never have a phone call with Charlie without learning something. And, while he makes me think, he also makes me laugh.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>I will add to Charlie’s list a rule of my own:   Find   a   very   smart   high-grade partner – preferably slightly older than you – and then listen very carefully to what he says.</p><h2>A Family Gathering in Omaha</h2><p>Charlie and I are shameless. Last year, at our first shareholder get-together in three years, we greeted you with our usual commercial hustle.</p><p>From the opening bell, we went straight for your wallet. In short order, our See’s kiosk sold you eleven tons of nourishing peanut brittle and chocolates. In our P.T. Barnum pitch, we promised you longevity. After all, what else but candy from See’s could account for Charlie and me making it to 99 and 92?</p><p>I know you can’t wait to hear the specifics of last year’s hustle.</p><p>On Friday, the doors were open from noon until 5 p.m., and our candy counters rang up 2,690 individual sales. On Saturday, See’s registered an additional 3,931 transactions between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., despite the fact that 612 of the 912 operating hours occurred while our movie and the question-and-answer session were limiting commercial traffic.</p><p>Do the math: See’s rang up about 10 sales per minute during its prime operating time (racking up $400,309 of volume during the two days), with all the goods purchased at a single location selling products that haven’t been materially altered in 101 years. What worked for See’s in the days of Henry Ford’s model T works now.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Charlie, I, and the entire Berkshire bunch look forward to seeing you in Omaha on May 5-6. We will have a good time and so will you.</p><p>February 25, 2023 Warren E.

In 2021, Berkshire posted a profit of $90.8 billion.Total revenue rose 9.4% to $302.1 billion.Berkshire’s operating earnings, which exclude some investment results, rose to a record $30.8 billion.Mr. Buffett, Berkshire’s chief executive, has long held that operating earnings are a better reflection of how Berkshire is doing, since accounting rules require the company to include unrealized gains and losses from its massive investment portfolio in its net income. Volatile markets can make Berkshire’s net income change substantially from quarter to quarter, regardless of how its underlying businesses are doing.“Capital gains, to be sure, have been hugely important to Berkshire over past decades, and we expect them to be meaningfully positive in future decades,” Mr. Buffett said in his letter. “But their quarter-by-quarter gyrations, regularly and mindlessly headlined by media, totally misinform investors,” he said, adding that he and his right-hand man Charlie Munger urged shareholders to focus instead on Berkshire’s operating earnings, which rose to a record for the full year in 2022.Read the full letter here:To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing the savings of a great number of individuals. We are grateful for their enduring trust, a relationship that often spans much of their adult lifetime. It is those dedicated savers that are forefront in my mind as I write this letter.A common belief is that people choose to save when young, expecting thereby to maintain their living standards after retirement. Any assets that remain at death, this theory says, will usually be left to their families or, possibly, to friends and philanthropy.Our experience has differed. We believe Berkshire’s individual holders largely to be of the once-a-saver, always-a-saver variety. Though these people live well, they eventually dispense most of their funds to philanthropic organizations. These, in turn, redistribute the funds by expenditures intended to improve the lives of a great many people who are unrelated to the original benefactor. Sometimes, the results have been spectacular.The disposition of money unmasks humans. Charlie and I watch with pleasure the vast flow of Berkshire-generated funds to public needs and, alongside, the infrequency with which our shareholders opt for look-at-me assets and dynasty-building.Who wouldn’t enjoy working for shareholders like ours?What We DoCharlie and I allocate your savings at Berkshire between two related forms of ownership. First, we invest in businesses that we control, usually buying 100% of each. Berkshire directs capital allocation at these subsidiaries and selects the CEOs who make day-by-day operating decisions. When large enterprises are being managed, both trust and rules are essential. Berkshire emphasizes the former to an unusual – some would say extreme – degree. Disappointments are inevitable. We are understanding about business mistakes; our tolerance for personal misconduct is zero.In our second category of ownership, we buy publicly-traded stocks through which we passively own pieces of businesses. Holding these investments, we have no say in management.Our goal in both forms of ownership is to make meaningful investments in businesses with both long-lasting favorable economic characteristics and trustworthy managers. Please note particularly that we own publicly-traded stocks based on our expectations about their long-term business performance, not because we view them as vehicles for adroit purchases and sales. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.Over the years, I have made many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses currently consists of a few enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many that enjoy very good economic characteristics, and a large group that are marginal. Along the way, other businesses in which I have invested have died, their products unwanted by the public. Capitalism has two sides: The system creates an ever-growing pile of losers while concurrently delivering a gusher of improved goods and services. Schumpeter called this phenomenon “creative destruction.”One advantage of our publicly-traded segment is that – episodically – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. It’s crucial to understand that stocks often trade at truly foolish prices, both high and low. “Efficient” markets exist only in textbooks. In truth, marketable stocks and bonds are baffling, their behavior usually understandable only in retrospect.Controlled businesses are a different breed. They sometimes command ridiculously higher prices than justified but are almost never available at bargain valuations. Unless under duress, the owner of a controlled business gives no thought to selling at a panic-type valuation.* * * * * * * * * * * *At this point, a report card from me is appropriate: In 58 years of Berkshire management, most of my capital-allocation decisions have been no better than so-so. In some cases, also, bad moves by me have been rescued by very large doses of luck. (Remember our escapes from near-disasters at USAir and Salomon? I certainly do.)Our satisfactory results have been the product of about a dozen truly good decisions – that would be about one every five years – and a sometimes-forgotten advantage that favors long-term investors such as Berkshire. Let’s take a peek behind the curtain.The Secret SauceIn August 1994 – yes, 1994 – Berkshire completed its seven-year purchase of the 400 million shares of Coca-Cola we now own. The total cost was $1.3 billion – then a very meaningful sum at Berkshire.The cash dividend we received from Coke in 1994 was $75 million. By 2022, the dividend had increased to $704 million. Growth occurred every year, just as certain as birthdays. All Charlie and I were required to do was cash Coke’s quarterly dividend checks. We expect that those checks are highly likely to grow.American Express is much the same story. Berkshire’s purchases of Amex were essentially completed in 1995 and, coincidentally, also cost $1.3 billion. Annual dividends received from this investment have grown from $41 million to $302 million. Those checks, too, seem highly likely to increase.These dividend gains, though pleasing, are far from spectacular. But they bring with them important gains in stock prices. At yearend, our Coke investment was valued at $25 billion while Amex was recorded at $22 billion. Each holding now accounts for roughly 5% of Berkshire’s net worth, akin to its weighting long ago.Assume, for a moment, I had made a similarly-sized investment mistake in the 1990s, one that flat-lined and simply retained its $1.3 billion value in 2022. (An example would be a high-grade 30-year bond.) That disappointing investment would now represent an insignificant 0.3% of Berkshire’s net worth and would be delivering to us an unchanged $80 million or so of annual income.The lesson for investors: The weeds wither away in significance as the flowers bloom. Over time, it takes just a few winners to work wonders. And, yes, it helps to start early and live into your 90s as well.The Past Year in BriefBerkshire had a good year in 2022. The company’s operating earnings – our term for income calculated using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), exclusive of capital gains or losses from equity holdings – set a record at $30.8 billion. Charlie and I focus on this operational figure and urge you to do so as well. The GAAP figure, absent our adjustment, fluctuates wildly and capriciously at every reporting date. Note its acrobatic behavior in 2022, which is in no way unusual:The GAAP earnings are 100% misleading when viewed quarterly or even annually. Capital gains, to be sure, have been hugely important to Berkshire over past decades, and we expect them to be meaningfully positive in future decades. But their quarter-by-quarter gyrations, regularly and mindlessly headlined by media, totally misinform investors.A second positive development for Berkshire last year was our purchase of Alleghany Corporation, a property-casualty insurer captained by Joe Brandon. I’ve worked with Joe in the past, and he understands both Berkshire  and insurance. Alleghany delivers special value to us because Berkshire’s unmatched financial strength allows its insurance subsidiaries to follow valuable and enduring investment strategies unavailable to virtually all competitors.Aided by Alleghany, our insurance float increased during 2022 from $147 billion to $164 billion. With disciplined underwriting, these funds have a decent chance of being cost-free over time. Since purchasing our first property-casualty insurer in 1967, Berkshire’s float has increased 8,000-fold through acquisitions, operations and innovations. Though not recognized in our financial statements, this float has been an extraordinary asset for Berkshire. New shareholders can get an understanding of its value by reading our annually updated explanation of float on page A-2.* * * * * * * * * * * *A very minor gain in per-share intrinsic value took place in 2022 through Berkshire share repurchases as well as similar moves at Apple and American Express, both significant investees of ours. At Berkshire, we directly increased your interest in our unique collection of businesses by repurchasing 1.2% of the company’s outstanding shares. At Apple and Amex, repurchases increased Berkshire’s ownership a bit without any cost to us.The math isn’t complicated: When the share count goes down, your interest in our many businesses goes up. Every small bit helps if repurchases are made at value-accretive prices. Just as surely, when a company overpays for repurchases, the continuing shareholders lose. At such times, gains flow only to the selling shareholders and to the friendly, but expensive, investment banker who recommended the foolish purchases.Gains from value-accretive repurchases, it should be emphasized, benefit all owners – in every respect. Imagine, if you will, three fully-informed shareholders of a local auto dealership, one of whom manages the business. Imagine, further, that one of the passive owners wishes to sell his interest back to the company at a price attractive to the two continuing shareholders. When completed, has this transaction harmed anyone? Is the manager somehow favored over the continuing passive owners? Has the public been hurt?When you are told that all repurchases are harmful to shareholders or to the country, or particularly beneficial to CEOs, you are listening to either an economic illiterate or a silver-tongued demagogue (characters that are not mutually exclusive).Almost endless details of Berkshire’s 2022 operations are laid out on pages K-33 – K-66. Charlie and I, along with many Berkshire shareholders, enjoy poring over the many facts and figures laid out in that section. These pages are not, however, required reading. There are many Berkshire centimillionaires and, yes, billionaires who have never studied our financial figures. They simply know that Charlie and I – along with our families and close friends – continue to have very significant investments in Berkshire, and they trust us to treat their money as we do our own.And that is a promise we can make.* * * * * * * * * * * *Finally, an important warning: Even the operating earnings figure that we favor can easily be manipulated by managers who wish to do so. Such tampering is often thought of as sophisticated by CEOs, directors and their advisors. Reporters and analysts embrace its existence as well. Beating “expectations” is heralded as a managerial triumph.That activity is disgusting. It requires no talent to manipulate numbers: Only a deep desire to deceive is required. “Bold imaginative accounting,” as a CEO once described his deception to me, has become one of the shames of capitalism.58 Years – and a Few FiguresIn 1965, Berkshire was a one-trick pony, the owner of a venerable – but doomed – New England textile operation. With that business on a death march, Berkshire needed an immediate fresh start. Looking back, I was slow to recognize the severity of its problems.And then came a stroke of good luck: National Indemnity became available in 1967, and we shifted our resources toward insurance and other non-textile operations.Thus began our journey to 2023, a bumpy road involving a combination of continuous savings by our owners (that is, by their retaining earnings), the power of compounding, our avoidance of major mistakes and – most important of all – the American Tailwind. America would have done fine without Berkshire. The reverse is not true.Berkshire now enjoys major ownership in an unmatched collection of huge and diversified businesses. Let’s first look at the 5,000 or so publicly-held companies that trade daily on NASDAQ, the NYSE and related venues. Within this group is housed the members of the S&P 500 Index, an elite collection of large and well-known American companies.In aggregate, the 500 earned $1.8 trillion in 2021. I don’t yet have the final results for 2022. Using, therefore, the 2021 figures, only 128 of the 500 (including Berkshire itself) earned $3 billion or more. Indeed, 23 lost money.At yearend 2022, Berkshire was the largest owner of eight of these giants: American Express, Bank of America, Chevron, Coca-Cola, HP Inc., Moody’s, Occidental Petroleum and Paramount Global.In addition to those eight investees, Berkshire owns 100% of BNSF and 92% of BH Energy, each with earnings that exceed the $3 billion mark noted above ($5.9 billion at BNSF and$4.3 billion at BHE). Were these companies publicly-owned, they would replace two present members of the 500. All told, our ten controlled and non-controlled behemoths leave Berkshire more broadly aligned with the country’s economic future than is the case at any other U.S. company. (This calculation leaves aside “fiduciary” operations such as pension funds and investment companies.) In addition, Berkshire’s insurance operation, though conducted through many individually-managed subsidiaries, has a value comparable to BNSF or BHE.As for the future, Berkshire will always hold a boatload of cash and U.S. Treasury bills along with a wide array of businesses. We will also avoid behavior that could result in any uncomfortable cash needs at inconvenient times, including financial panics and unprecedented insurance losses. Our CEO will always be the Chief Risk Officer – a task it is irresponsible to delegate. Additionally, our future CEOs will have a significant part of their net worth in Berkshire shares, bought with their own money. And yes, our shareholders will continue to save and prosper by retaining earnings.At Berkshire, there will be no finish line.Some Surprising Facts About Federal TaxesDuring the decade ending in 2021, the United States Treasury received about $32.3 trillion in taxes while it spent $43.9 trillion.Though economists, politicians and many of the public have opinions about the consequences of that huge imbalance, Charlie and I plead ignorance and firmly believe that near-term economic and market forecasts are worse than useless. Our job is to manage Berkshire’s operations and finances in a manner that will achieve an acceptable result over time and that will preserve the company’s unmatched staying power when financial panics or severe worldwide recessions occur. Berkshire also offers some modest protection from runaway inflation, but this attribute is far from perfect. Huge and entrenched fiscal deficits have consequences.The $32 trillion of revenue was garnered by the Treasury through individual income taxes (48%), social security and related receipts (3412%), corporate income tax payments (812%) and a wide variety of lesser levies. Berkshire’s contribution via the corporate income tax was $32 billion during the decade, almost exactly a tenth of 1% of all money that the Treasury collected.And that means – brace yourself – had there been roughly 1,000 taxpayers in the U.S. matching Berkshire’s payments, no other businesses nor any of the country’s 131 million households would have needed to pay any taxes to the federal government. Not a dime.* * * * * * * * * * * *Millions, billions, trillions – we all know the words, but the sums involved are almost impossible to comprehend. Let’s put physical dimensions to the numbers:- If you convert $1 million into newly-printed $100 bills, you will have a stack that reaches your chest.- Perform the same exercise with $1 billion – this is getting exciting! – and the stack reaches about 34 of a mile into the sky.- Finally, imagine piling up $32 billion, the total of Berkshire’s 2012-21 federal income tax payments. Now the stack grows to more than 21 miles in height, about three times the level at which commercial airplanes usually cruise.When it comes to federal taxes, individuals who own Berkshire can unequivocally state “I gave at the office.”* * * * * * * * * * * *At Berkshire we hope and expect to pay much more in taxes during the next decade. We owe the country no less: America’s dynamism has made a huge contribution to whatever success Berkshire has achieved – a contribution Berkshire will always need. We count on the American Tailwind and, though it has been becalmed from time to time, its propelling force has always returned.I have been investing for 80 years – more than one-third of our country’s lifetime. Despite our citizens’ penchant – almost enthusiasm – for self-criticism and self-doubt, I have yet to see a time when it made sense to make a long-term bet against America. And I doubt very much that any reader of this letter will have a different experience in the future.Nothing Beats Having a Great PartnerCharlie and I think pretty much alike. But what it takes me a page to explain, he sums up in a sentence. His version, moreover, is always more clearly reasoned and also more artfully – some might add bluntly – stated.Here are a few of his thoughts, many lifted from a very recent podcast:- The world is full of foolish gamblers, and they will not do as well as the patient investor.- If you don’t see the world the way it is, it’s like judging something through a distorted lens.- All I want to know is where I’m going to die, so I’ll never go there. And a related thought: Early on, write your desired obituary – and then behave accordingly.- If you don’t care whether you are rational or not, you won’t work on it. Then you will stay irrational and get lousy results.- Patience can be learned. Having a long attention span and the ability to concentrate on one thing for a long time is a huge advantage.- You can learn a lot from dead people. Read of the deceased you admire and detest.- Don’t bail away in a sinking boat if you can swim to one that is seaworthy.- A great company keeps working after you are not; a mediocre company won’t do that.- Warren and I don’t focus on the froth of the market. We seek out good long-term investments and stubbornly hold them for a long time.- Ben Graham said, “Day to day, the stock market is a voting machine; in the long term it’s a weighing machine.” If you keep making something more valuable, then some wise person is going to notice it and start buying.- There is no such thing as a 100% sure thing when investing. Thus, the use of leverage is dangerous. A string of wonderful numbers times zero will always equal zero. Don’t count on getting rich twice.- You don’t, however, need to own a lot of things in order to get rich.- You have to keep learning if you want to become a great investor. When the world changes, you must change.- Warren and I hated railroad stocks for decades, but the world changed and finally the country had four huge railroads of vital importance to the American economy. We were slow to recognize the change, but better late than never.- Finally, I will add two short sentences by Charlie that have been his decision-clinchers for decades: “Warren, think more about it. You’re smart and I’m right.”And so it goes. I never have a phone call with Charlie without learning something. And, while he makes me think, he also makes me laugh.* * * * * * * * * * * *I will add to Charlie’s list a rule of my own:   Find   a   very   smart   high-grade partner – preferably slightly older than you – and then listen very carefully to what he says.A Family Gathering in OmahaCharlie and I are shameless. Last year, at our first shareholder get-together in three years, we greeted you with our usual commercial hustle.From the opening bell, we went straight for your wallet. In short order, our See’s kiosk sold you eleven tons of nourishing peanut brittle and chocolates. In our P.T. Barnum pitch, we promised you longevity. After all, what else but candy from See’s could account for Charlie and me making it to 99 and 92?I know you can’t wait to hear the specifics of last year’s hustle.On Friday, the doors were open from noon until 5 p.m., and our candy counters rang up 2,690 individual sales. On Saturday, See’s registered an additional 3,931 transactions between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., despite the fact that 612 of the 912 operating hours occurred while our movie and the question-and-answer session were limiting commercial traffic.Do the math: See’s rang up about 10 sales per minute during its prime operating time (racking up $400,309 of volume during the two days), with all the goods purchased at a single location selling products that haven’t been materially altered in 101 years. What worked for See’s in the days of Henry Ford’s model T works now.* * * * * * * * * * * *Charlie, I, and the entire Berkshire bunch look forward to seeing you in Omaha on May 5-6. We will have a good time and so will you.February 25, 2023 Warren E.

Charlie and I focus on this operational figure and urge you to do so as well. The GAAP figure, absent our adjustment, fluctuates wildly and capriciously at every reporting date. Note its acrobatic behavior in 2022, which is in no way unusual:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/69e74650656620f9fa3f1e55c15a90e5\" tg-width=\"797\" tg-height=\"207\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>The GAAP earnings are 100% misleading when viewed quarterly or even annually. Capital gains, to be sure, have been hugely important to Berkshire over past decades, and we expect them to be meaningfully positive in future decades. But their quarter-by-quarter gyrations, regularly and mindlessly headlined by media, totally misinform investors.</p><p>A second positive development for Berkshire last year was our purchase of Alleghany Corporation, a property-casualty insurer captained by Joe Brandon. I’ve worked with Joe in the past, and he understands both Berkshire  and insurance. Alleghany delivers special value to us because Berkshire’s unmatched financial strength allows its insurance subsidiaries to follow valuable and enduring investment strategies unavailable to virtually all competitors.</p><p>Aided by Alleghany, our insurance float increased during 2022 from $147 billion to $164 billion. With disciplined underwriting, these funds have a decent chance of being cost-free over time. Since purchasing our first property-casualty insurer in 1967, Berkshire’s float has increased 8,000-fold through acquisitions, operations and innovations. Though not recognized in our financial statements, this float has been an extraordinary asset for Berkshire. New shareholders can get an understanding of its value by reading our annually updated explanation of float on page A-2.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>A very minor gain in per-share intrinsic value took place in 2022 through Berkshire share repurchases as well as similar moves at Apple and American Express, both significant investees of ours. At Berkshire, we directly increased your interest in our unique collection of businesses by repurchasing 1.2% of the company’s outstanding shares. At Apple and Amex, repurchases increased Berkshire’s ownership a bit without any cost to us.</p><p>The math isn’t complicated: When the share count goes down, your interest in our many businesses goes up. Every small bit helps if repurchases are made at value-accretive prices. Just as surely, when a company overpays for repurchases, the continuing shareholders lose. At such times, gains flow only to the selling shareholders and to the friendly, but expensive, investment banker who recommended the foolish purchases.</p><p>Gains from value-accretive repurchases, it should be emphasized, benefit all owners – in every respect. Imagine, if you will, three fully-informed shareholders of a local auto dealership, one of whom manages the business. Imagine, further, that one of the passive owners wishes to sell his interest back to the company at a price attractive to the two continuing shareholders. When completed, has this transaction harmed anyone? Is the manager somehow favored over the continuing passive owners? Has the public been hurt?</p><p>When you are told that all repurchases are harmful to shareholders or to the country, or particularly beneficial to CEOs, you are listening to either an economic illiterate or a silver-tongued demagogue (characters that are not mutually exclusive).</p><p>Almost endless details of Berkshire’s 2022 operations are laid out on pages K-33 – K-66. Charlie and I, along with many Berkshire shareholders, enjoy poring over the many facts and figures laid out in that section. These pages are not, however, required reading. There are many Berkshire centimillionaires and, yes, billionaires who have never studied our financial figures. They simply know that Charlie and I – along with our families and close friends – continue to have very significant investments in Berkshire, and they trust us to treat their money as we do our own.</p><p>And that is a promise we can make.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Finally, an important warning: Even the operating earnings figure that we favor can easily be manipulated by managers who wish to do so. Such tampering is often thought of as sophisticated by CEOs, directors and their advisors. Reporters and analysts embrace its existence as well. Beating “expectations” is heralded as a managerial triumph.</p><p>That activity is disgusting. It requires no talent to manipulate numbers: Only a deep desire to deceive is required. “Bold imaginative accounting,” as a CEO once described his deception to me, has become one of the shames of capitalism.</p><h2>58 Years – and a Few Figures</h2><p>In 1965, Berkshire was a one-trick pony, the owner of a venerable – but doomed – New England textile operation. With that business on a death march, Berkshire needed an immediate fresh start. Looking back, I was slow to recognize the severity of its problems.</p><p>And then came a stroke of good luck: National Indemnity became available in 1967, and we shifted our resources toward insurance and other non-textile operations.</p><p>Thus began our journey to 2023, a bumpy road involving a combination of continuous savings by our owners (that is, by their retaining earnings), the power of compounding, our avoidance of major mistakes and – most important of all – the American Tailwind. America would have done fine without Berkshire. The reverse is not true.</p><p>Berkshire now enjoys major ownership in an unmatched collection of huge and diversified businesses. Let’s first look at the 5,000 or so publicly-held companies that trade daily on NASDAQ, the NYSE and related venues. Within this group is housed the members of the S&amp;P 500 Index, an elite collection of large and well-known American companies.</p><p>In aggregate, the 500 earned $1.8 trillion in 2021. I don’t yet have the final results for 2022. Using, therefore, the 2021 figures, only 128 of the 500 (including Berkshire itself) earned $3 billion or more. Indeed, 23 lost money.</p><p>At yearend 2022, Berkshire was the largest owner of eight of these giants: American Express, Bank of America, Chevron, Coca-Cola, HP Inc., Moody’s, Occidental Petroleum and Paramount Global.</p><p>In addition to those eight investees, Berkshire owns 100% of BNSF and 92% of BH Energy, each with earnings that exceed the $3 billion mark noted above ($5.9 billion at BNSF and</p><p>$4.3 billion at BHE). Were these companies publicly-owned, they would replace two present members of the 500. All told, our ten controlled and non-controlled behemoths leave Berkshire more broadly aligned with the country’s economic future than is the case at any other U.S. company. (This calculation leaves aside “fiduciary” operations such as pension funds and investment companies.) In addition, Berkshire’s insurance operation, though conducted through many individually-managed subsidiaries, has a value comparable to BNSF or BHE.</p><p>As for the future, Berkshire will always hold a boatload of cash and U.S. Treasury bills along with a wide array of businesses. We will also avoid behavior that could result in any uncomfortable cash needs at inconvenient times, including financial panics and unprecedented insurance losses. Our CEO will always be the Chief Risk Officer – a task it is irresponsible to delegate. Additionally, our future CEOs will have a significant part of their net worth in Berkshire shares, bought with their own money. And yes, our shareholders will continue to save and prosper by retaining earnings.</p><p>At Berkshire, there will be no finish line.</p><h2>Some Surprising Facts About Federal Taxes</h2><p>During the decade ending in 2021, the United States Treasury received about $32.3 trillion in taxes while it spent $43.9 trillion.</p><p>Though economists, politicians and many of the public have opinions about the consequences of that huge imbalance, Charlie and I plead ignorance and firmly believe that near-term economic and market forecasts are worse than useless. Our job is to manage Berkshire’s operations and finances in a manner that will achieve an acceptable result over time and that will preserve the company’s unmatched staying power when financial panics or severe worldwide recessions occur. Berkshire also offers some modest protection from runaway inflation, but this attribute is far from perfect. Huge and entrenched fiscal deficits have consequences.</p><p>The $32 trillion of revenue was garnered by the Treasury through individual income taxes (48%), social security and related receipts (3412%), corporate income tax payments (812%) and a wide variety of lesser levies. Berkshire’s contribution via the corporate income tax was $32 billion during the decade, almost exactly a tenth of 1% of all money that the Treasury collected.</p><p>And that means – brace yourself – had there been roughly 1,000 taxpayers in the U.S. matching Berkshire’s payments, no other businesses nor any of the country’s 131 million households would have needed to pay any taxes to the federal government. Not a dime.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Millions, billions, trillions – we all know the words, but the sums involved are almost impossible to comprehend. Let’s put physical dimensions to the numbers:</p><p>- If you convert $1 million into newly-printed $100 bills, you will have a stack that reaches your chest.</p><p>- Perform the same exercise with $1 billion – this is getting exciting! – and the stack reaches about 34 of a mile into the sky.</p><p>- Finally, imagine piling up $32 billion, the total of Berkshire’s 2012-21 federal income tax payments. Now the stack grows to more than 21 miles in height, about three times the level at which commercial airplanes usually cruise.</p><p>When it comes to federal taxes, individuals who own Berkshire can unequivocally state “I gave at the office.”</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>At Berkshire we hope and expect to pay much more in taxes during the next decade. We owe the country no less: America’s dynamism has made a huge contribution to whatever success Berkshire has achieved – a contribution Berkshire will always need. We count on the American Tailwind and, though it has been becalmed from time to time, its propelling force has always returned.</p><p>I have been investing for 80 years – more than one-third of our country’s lifetime. Despite our citizens’ penchant – almost enthusiasm – for self-criticism and self-doubt, I have yet to see a time when it made sense to make a long-term bet against America. And I doubt very much that any reader of this letter will have a different experience in the future.</p><h2>Nothing Beats Having a Great Partner</h2><p>Charlie and I think pretty much alike. But what it takes me a page to explain, he sums up in a sentence. His version, moreover, is always more clearly reasoned and also more artfully – some might add bluntly – stated.</p><p>Here are a few of his thoughts, many lifted from a very recent podcast:</p><p>- The world is full of foolish gamblers, and they will not do as well as the patient investor.</p><p>- If you don’t see the world the way it is, it’s like judging something through a distorted lens.</p><p>- All I want to know is where I’m going to die, so I’ll never go there. And a related thought: Early on, write your desired obituary – and then behave accordingly.</p><p>- If you don’t care whether you are rational or not, you won’t work on it. Then you will stay irrational and get lousy results.</p><p>- Patience can be learned. Having a long attention span and the ability to concentrate on one thing for a long time is a huge advantage.</p><p>- You can learn a lot from dead people. Read of the deceased you admire and detest.</p><p>- Don’t bail away in a sinking boat if you can swim to one that is seaworthy.</p><p>- A great company keeps working after you are not; a mediocre company won’t do that.</p><p>- Warren and I don’t focus on the froth of the market. We seek out good long-term investments and stubbornly hold them for a long time.</p><p>- Ben Graham said, “Day to day, the stock market is a voting machine; in the long term it’s a weighing machine.” If you keep making something more valuable, then some wise person is going to notice it and start buying.</p><p>- There is no such thing as a 100% sure thing when investing. Thus, the use of leverage is dangerous. A string of wonderful numbers times zero will always equal zero. Don’t count on getting rich twice.</p><p>- You don’t, however, need to own a lot of things in order to get rich.</p><p>- You have to keep learning if you want to become a great investor. When the world changes, you must change.</p><p>- Warren and I hated railroad stocks for decades, but the world changed and finally the country had four huge railroads of vital importance to the American economy. We were slow to recognize the change, but better late than never.</p><p>- Finally, I will add two short sentences by Charlie that have been his decision-clinchers for decades: “Warren, think more about it. You’re smart and I’m right.”</p><p>And so it goes. I never have a phone call with Charlie without learning something. And, while he makes me think, he also makes me laugh.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>I will add to Charlie’s list a rule of my own:   Find   a   very   smart   high-grade partner – preferably slightly older than you – and then listen very carefully to what he says.</p><h2>A Family Gathering in Omaha</h2><p>Charlie and I are shameless. Last year, at our first shareholder get-together in three years, we greeted you with our usual commercial hustle.</p><p>From the opening bell, we went straight for your wallet. In short order, our See’s kiosk sold you eleven tons of nourishing peanut brittle and chocolates. In our P.T. Barnum pitch, we promised you longevity. After all, what else but candy from See’s could account for Charlie and me making it to 99 and 92?</p><p>I know you can’t wait to hear the specifics of last year’s hustle.</p><p>On Friday, the doors were open from noon until 5 p.m., and our candy counters rang up 2,690 individual sales. On Saturday, See’s registered an additional 3,931 transactions between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., despite the fact that 612 of the 912 operating hours occurred while our movie and the question-and-answer session were limiting commercial traffic.</p><p>Do the math: See’s rang up about 10 sales per minute during its prime operating time (racking up $400,309 of volume during the two days), with all the goods purchased at a single location selling products that haven’t been materially altered in 101 years. What worked for See’s in the days of Henry Ford’s model T works now.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Charlie, I, and the entire Berkshire bunch look forward to seeing you in Omaha on May 5-6. We will have a good time and so will you.</p><p>February 25, 2023 Warren E.

But Mr. Buffett retained his sense of optimism in his annual letter to investors Saturday, saying he attributes much of his success over the years to the resilience of the U.S. economy.</p><p>“I have been investing for 80 years—more than one-third of our country’s lifetime. Despite our citizens’ penchant—almost enthusiasm—for self-criticism and self-doubt, I have yet to see a time when it made sense to make a long-term bet against America,” Mr. Buffett said in the letter.</p><p>Mr. Buffett, widely regarded as one of the world’s top investors, has been publishing the letters for more than half a century. Over that time, he hasn’t just reflected on the past year for his company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., but also shared his thoughts on everything from esoteric accounting rules to his aversion to excessive risk-taking.</p><p>Saturday’s letter offered readers a glimpse into how Mr. Buffett, 92, viewed what wound up being a shaky stretch for markets.</p><p>The volatility offered Berkshire an opportunity to jump in and buy stocks. While Berkshire largely bought back its own shares in 2021, it focused more in 2022 on investing in other companies—opening up new positions in media company Paramount Global and building-materials manufacturer Louisiana-Pacific Corp., among other businesses, and swiftly becoming Occidental Petroleum Corp.’s single biggest shareholder.</p><p>As of the end of 2022, Berkshire was the largest shareholder of eight companies—American Express Co., Bank of America Corp., Chevron Corp., Coca-Cola Co., HP Inc., Moody’s Corp., Occidental and Paramount Global.</p><p>“America would have done fine without Berkshire. The reverse is not true,” Mr. Buffett said.</p><p>Berkshire also released its results for 2022 on Saturday.</p><p>The Omaha, Neb., company, which owns businesses including insurer Geico, railroad BNSF Railway and chocolate maker See’s Candies, posted a loss of $22.82 billion for the year, stung by $67.9 billion in investment and derivative contract losses. In 2021, Berkshire posted a profit of $90.8 billion.</p><p>Total revenue rose 9.4% to $302.1 billion.</p><p>Berkshire’s operating earnings, which exclude some investment results, rose to a record $30.8 billion.</p><p>Mr. Buffett, Berkshire’s chief executive, has long held that operating earnings are a better reflection of how Berkshire is doing, since accounting rules require the company to include unrealized gains and losses from its massive investment portfolio in its net income. Volatile markets can make Berkshire’s net income change substantially from quarter to quarter, regardless of how its underlying businesses are doing.</p><p>“Capital gains, to be sure, have been hugely important to Berkshire over past decades, and we expect them to be meaningfully positive in future decades,” Mr. Buffett said in his letter. “But their quarter-by-quarter gyrations, regularly and mindlessly headlined by media, totally misinform investors,” he said, adding that he and his right-hand man Charlie Munger urged shareholders to focus instead on Berkshire’s operating earnings, which rose to a record for the full year in 2022.</p><h2>Read the full letter here:</h2><p>To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:</p><p>Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing the savings of a great number of individuals. We are grateful for their enduring trust, a relationship that often spans much of their adult lifetime. It is those dedicated savers that are forefront in my mind as I write this letter.</p><p>A common belief is that people choose to save when young, expecting thereby to maintain their living standards after retirement. Any assets that remain at death, this theory says, will usually be left to their families or, possibly, to friends and philanthropy.</p><p>Our experience has differed. We believe Berkshire’s individual holders largely to be of the once-a-saver, always-a-saver variety. Though these people live well, they eventually dispense most of their funds to philanthropic organizations. These, in turn, redistribute the funds by expenditures intended to improve the lives of a great many people who are unrelated to the original benefactor. Sometimes, the results have been spectacular.</p><p>The disposition of money unmasks humans. Charlie and I watch with pleasure the vast flow of Berkshire-generated funds to public needs and, alongside, the infrequency with which our shareholders opt for look-at-me assets and dynasty-building.</p><p>Who wouldn’t enjoy working for shareholders like ours?</p><h2>What We Do</h2><p>Charlie and I allocate your savings at Berkshire between two related forms of ownership. First, we invest in businesses that we control, usually buying 100% of each. Berkshire directs capital allocation at these subsidiaries and selects the CEOs who make day-by-day operating decisions. When large enterprises are being managed, both trust and rules are essential. Berkshire emphasizes the former to an unusual – some would say extreme – degree. Disappointments are inevitable. We are understanding about business mistakes; our tolerance for personal misconduct is zero.</p><p>In our second category of ownership, we buy publicly-traded stocks through which we passively own pieces of businesses. Holding these investments, we have no say in management.</p><p>Our goal in both forms of ownership is to make meaningful investments in businesses with both long-lasting favorable economic characteristics and trustworthy managers. Please note particularly that we own publicly-traded stocks based on our expectations about their long-term business performance, not because we view them as vehicles for adroit purchases and sales. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.</p><p>Over the years, I have made many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses currently consists of a few enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many that enjoy very good economic characteristics, and a large group that are marginal. Along the way, other businesses in which I have invested have died, their products unwanted by the public. Capitalism has two sides: The system creates an ever-growing pile of losers while concurrently delivering a gusher of improved goods and services. Schumpeter called this phenomenon “creative destruction.”</p><p>One advantage of our publicly-traded segment is that – episodically – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. It’s crucial to understand that stocks often trade at truly foolish prices, both high and low. “Efficient” markets exist only in textbooks. In truth, marketable stocks and bonds are baffling, their behavior usually understandable only in retrospect.</p><p>Controlled businesses are a different breed. They sometimes command ridiculously higher prices than justified but are almost never available at bargain valuations. Unless under duress, the owner of a controlled business gives no thought to selling at a panic-type valuation.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>At this point, a report card from me is appropriate: In 58 years of Berkshire management, most of my capital-allocation decisions have been no better than so-so. In some cases, also, bad moves by me have been rescued by very large doses of luck. (Remember our escapes from near-disasters at USAir and Salomon? I certainly do.)</p><p>Our satisfactory results have been the product of about a dozen truly good decisions – that would be about one every five years – and a sometimes-forgotten advantage that favors long-term investors such as Berkshire. Let’s take a peek behind the curtain.</p><h2>The Secret Sauce</h2><p>In August 1994 – yes, 1994 – Berkshire completed its seven-year purchase of the 400 million shares of Coca-Cola we now own. The total cost was $1.3 billion – then a very meaningful sum at Berkshire.</p><p>The cash dividend we received from Coke in 1994 was $75 million. By 2022, the dividend had increased to $704 million. Growth occurred every year, just as certain as birthdays. All Charlie and I were required to do was cash Coke’s quarterly dividend checks. We expect that those checks are highly likely to grow.</p><p>American Express is much the same story. Berkshire’s purchases of Amex were essentially completed in 1995 and, coincidentally, also cost $1.3 billion. Annual dividends received from this investment have grown from $41 million to $302 million. Those checks, too, seem highly likely to increase.</p><p>These dividend gains, though pleasing, are far from spectacular. But they bring with them important gains in stock prices. At yearend, our Coke investment was valued at $25 billion while Amex was recorded at $22 billion. Each holding now accounts for roughly 5% of Berkshire’s net worth, akin to its weighting long ago.</p><p>Assume, for a moment, I had made a similarly-sized investment mistake in the 1990s, one that flat-lined and simply retained its $1.3 billion value in 2022. (An example would be a high-grade 30-year bond.) That disappointing investment would now represent an insignificant 0.3% of Berkshire’s net worth and would be delivering to us an unchanged $80 million or so of annual income.</p><p>The lesson for investors: The weeds wither away in significance as the flowers bloom. Over time, it takes just a few winners to work wonders. And, yes, it helps to start early and live into your 90s as well.</p><h2>The Past Year in Brief</h2><p>Berkshire had a good year in 2022. The company’s operating earnings – our term for income calculated using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), exclusive of capital gains or losses from equity holdings – set a record at $30.8 billion. Charlie and I focus on this operational figure and urge you to do so as well. The GAAP figure, absent our adjustment, fluctuates wildly and capriciously at every reporting date. Note its acrobatic behavior in 2022, which is in no way unusual:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/69e74650656620f9fa3f1e55c15a90e5\" tg-width=\"797\" tg-height=\"207\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>The GAAP earnings are 100% misleading when viewed quarterly or even annually. Capital gains, to be sure, have been hugely important to Berkshire over past decades, and we expect them to be meaningfully positive in future decades. But their quarter-by-quarter gyrations, regularly and mindlessly headlined by media, totally misinform investors.</p><p>A second positive development for Berkshire last year was our purchase of Alleghany Corporation, a property-casualty insurer captained by Joe Brandon. I’ve worked with Joe in the past, and he understands both Berkshire  and insurance. Alleghany delivers special value to us because Berkshire’s unmatched financial strength allows its insurance subsidiaries to follow valuable and enduring investment strategies unavailable to virtually all competitors.</p><p>Aided by Alleghany, our insurance float increased during 2022 from $147 billion to $164 billion. With disciplined underwriting, these funds have a decent chance of being cost-free over time. Since purchasing our first property-casualty insurer in 1967, Berkshire’s float has increased 8,000-fold through acquisitions, operations and innovations. Though not recognized in our financial statements, this float has been an extraordinary asset for Berkshire. New shareholders can get an understanding of its value by reading our annually updated explanation of float on page A-2.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>A very minor gain in per-share intrinsic value took place in 2022 through Berkshire share repurchases as well as similar moves at Apple and American Express, both significant investees of ours.

Let’s first look at the 5,000 or so publicly-held companies that trade daily on NASDAQ, the NYSE and related venues.

Were these companies publicly-owned, they would replace two present members of the 500. All told, our ten controlled and non-controlled behemoths leave Berkshire more broadly aligned with the country’s economic future than is the case at any other U.S. company. (This calculation leaves aside “fiduciary” operations such as pension funds and investment companies.) In addition, Berkshire’s insurance operation, though conducted through many individually-managed subsidiaries, has a value comparable to BNSF or BHE.</p><p>As for the future, Berkshire will always hold a boatload of cash and U.S. Treasury bills along with a wide array of businesses. We will also avoid behavior that could result in any uncomfortable cash needs at inconvenient times, including financial panics and unprecedented insurance losses.

But Mr. Buffett retained his sense of optimism in his annual letter to investors Saturday, saying he attributes much of his success over the years to the resilience of the U.S. economy.“I have been investing for 80 years—more than one-third of our country’s lifetime. Despite our citizens’ penchant—almost enthusiasm—for self-criticism and self-doubt, I have yet to see a time when it made sense to make a long-term bet against America,” Mr. Buffett said in the letter.Mr. Buffett, widely regarded as one of the world’s top investors, has been publishing the letters for more than half a century. Over that time, he hasn’t just reflected on the past year for his company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., but also shared his thoughts on everything from esoteric accounting rules to his aversion to excessive risk-taking.Saturday’s letter offered readers a glimpse into how Mr. Buffett, 92, viewed what wound up being a shaky stretch for markets.The volatility offered Berkshire an opportunity to jump in and buy stocks. While Berkshire largely bought back its own shares in 2021, it focused more in 2022 on investing in other companies—opening up new positions in media company Paramount Global and building-materials manufacturer Louisiana-Pacific Corp., among other businesses, and swiftly becoming Occidental Petroleum Corp.’s single biggest shareholder.As of the end of 2022, Berkshire was the largest shareholder of eight companies—American Express Co., Bank of America Corp., Chevron Corp., Coca-Cola Co., HP Inc., Moody’s Corp., Occidental and Paramount Global.“America would have done fine without Berkshire. The reverse is not true,” Mr. Buffett said.Berkshire also released its results for 2022 on Saturday.The Omaha, Neb., company, which owns businesses including insurer Geico, railroad BNSF Railway and chocolate maker See’s Candies, posted a loss of $22.82 billion for the year, stung by $67.9 billion in investment and derivative contract losses. In 2021, Berkshire posted a profit of $90.8 billion.Total revenue rose 9.4% to $302.1 billion.Berkshire’s operating earnings, which exclude some investment results, rose to a record $30.8 billion.Mr. Buffett, Berkshire’s chief executive, has long held that operating earnings are a better reflection of how Berkshire is doing, since accounting rules require the company to include unrealized gains and losses from its massive investment portfolio in its net income. Volatile markets can make Berkshire’s net income change substantially from quarter to quarter, regardless of how its underlying businesses are doing.“Capital gains, to be sure, have been hugely important to Berkshire over past decades, and we expect them to be meaningfully positive in future decades,” Mr. Buffett said in his letter. “But their quarter-by-quarter gyrations, regularly and mindlessly headlined by media, totally misinform investors,” he said, adding that he and his right-hand man Charlie Munger urged shareholders to focus instead on Berkshire’s operating earnings, which rose to a record for the full year in 2022.Read the full letter here:To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing the savings of a great number of individuals. We are grateful for their enduring trust, a relationship that often spans much of their adult lifetime. It is those dedicated savers that are forefront in my mind as I write this letter.A common belief is that people choose to save when young, expecting thereby to maintain their living standards after retirement. Any assets that remain at death, this theory says, will usually be left to their families or, possibly, to friends and philanthropy.Our experience has differed. We believe Berkshire’s individual holders largely to be of the once-a-saver, always-a-saver variety. Though these people live well, they eventually dispense most of their funds to philanthropic organizations. These, in turn, redistribute the funds by expenditures intended to improve the lives of a great many people who are unrelated to the original benefactor. Sometimes, the results have been spectacular.The disposition of money unmasks humans. Charlie and I watch with pleasure the vast flow of Berkshire-generated funds to public needs and, alongside, the infrequency with which our shareholders opt for look-at-me assets and dynasty-building.Who wouldn’t enjoy working for shareholders like ours?What We DoCharlie and I allocate your savings at Berkshire between two related forms of ownership. First, we invest in businesses that we control, usually buying 100% of each. Berkshire directs capital allocation at these subsidiaries and selects the CEOs who make day-by-day operating decisions. When large enterprises are being managed, both trust and rules are essential. Berkshire emphasizes the former to an unusual – some would say extreme – degree. Disappointments are inevitable. We are understanding about business mistakes; our tolerance for personal misconduct is zero.In our second category of ownership, we buy publicly-traded stocks through which we passively own pieces of businesses. Holding these investments, we have no say in management.Our goal in both forms of ownership is to make meaningful investments in businesses with both long-lasting favorable economic characteristics and trustworthy managers. Please note particularly that we own publicly-traded stocks based on our expectations about their long-term business performance, not because we view them as vehicles for adroit purchases and sales. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.Over the years, I have made many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses currently consists of a few enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many that enjoy very good economic characteristics, and a large group that are marginal. Along the way, other businesses in which I have invested have died, their products unwanted by the public. Capitalism has two sides: The system creates an ever-growing pile of losers while concurrently delivering a gusher of improved goods and services. Schumpeter called this phenomenon “creative destruction.”One advantage of our publicly-traded segment is that – episodically – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. It’s crucial to understand that stocks often trade at truly foolish prices, both high and low. “Efficient” markets exist only in textbooks. In truth, marketable stocks and bonds are baffling, their behavior usually understandable only in retrospect.Controlled businesses are a different breed. They sometimes command ridiculously higher prices than justified but are almost never available at bargain valuations. Unless under duress, the owner of a controlled business gives no thought to selling at a panic-type valuation.* * * * * * * * * * * *At this point, a report card from me is appropriate: In 58 years of Berkshire management, most of my capital-allocation decisions have been no better than so-so. In some cases, also, bad moves by me have been rescued by very large doses of luck. (Remember our escapes from near-disasters at USAir and Salomon? I certainly do.)Our satisfactory results have been the product of about a dozen truly good decisions – that would be about one every five years – and a sometimes-forgotten advantage that favors long-term investors such as Berkshire. Let’s take a peek behind the curtain.The Secret SauceIn August 1994 – yes, 1994 – Berkshire completed its seven-year purchase of the 400 million shares of Coca-Cola we now own. The total cost was $1.3 billion – then a very meaningful sum at Berkshire.The cash dividend we received from Coke in 1994 was $75 million. By 2022, the dividend had increased to $704 million. Growth occurred every year, just as certain as birthdays. All Charlie and I were required to do was cash Coke’s quarterly dividend checks. We expect that those checks are highly likely to grow.American Express is much the same story. Berkshire’s purchases of Amex were essentially completed in 1995 and, coincidentally, also cost $1.3 billion. Annual dividends received from this investment have grown from $41 million to $302 million. Those checks, too, seem highly likely to increase.These dividend gains, though pleasing, are far from spectacular. But they bring with them important gains in stock prices. At yearend, our Coke investment was valued at $25 billion while Amex was recorded at $22 billion. Each holding now accounts for roughly 5% of Berkshire’s net worth, akin to its weighting long ago.Assume, for a moment, I had made a similarly-sized investment mistake in the 1990s, one that flat-lined and simply retained its $1.3 billion value in 2022. (An example would be a high-grade 30-year bond.) That disappointing investment would now represent an insignificant 0.3% of Berkshire’s net worth and would be delivering to us an unchanged $80 million or so of annual income.The lesson for investors: The weeds wither away in significance as the flowers bloom. Over time, it takes just a few winners to work wonders. And, yes, it helps to start early and live into your 90s as well.The Past Year in BriefBerkshire had a good year in 2022. The company’s operating earnings – our term for income calculated using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), exclusive of capital gains or losses from equity holdings – set a record at $30.8 billion. Charlie and I focus on this operational figure and urge you to do so as well. The GAAP figure, absent our adjustment, fluctuates wildly and capriciously at every reporting date. Note its acrobatic behavior in 2022, which is in no way unusual:The GAAP earnings are 100% misleading when viewed quarterly or even annually. Capital gains, to be sure, have been hugely important to Berkshire over past decades, and we expect them to be meaningfully positive in future decades. But their quarter-by-quarter gyrations, regularly and mindlessly headlined by media, totally misinform investors.A second positive development for Berkshire last year was our purchase of Alleghany Corporation, a property-casualty insurer captained by Joe Brandon. I’ve worked with Joe in the past, and he understands both Berkshire  and insurance. Alleghany delivers special value to us because Berkshire’s unmatched financial strength allows its insurance subsidiaries to follow valuable and enduring investment strategies unavailable to virtually all competitors.Aided by Alleghany, our insurance float increased during 2022 from $147 billion to $164 billion. With disciplined underwriting, these funds have a decent chance of being cost-free over time. Since purchasing our first property-casualty insurer in 1967, Berkshire’s float has increased 8,000-fold through acquisitions, operations and innovations. Though not recognized in our financial statements, this float has been an extraordinary asset for Berkshire. New shareholders can get an understanding of its value by reading our annually updated explanation of float on page A-2.* * * * * * * * * * * *A very minor gain in per-share intrinsic value took place in 2022 through Berkshire share repurchases as well as similar moves at Apple and American Express, both significant investees of ours. At Berkshire, we directly increased your interest in our unique collection of businesses by repurchasing 1.2% of the company’s outstanding shares. At Apple and Amex, repurchases increased Berkshire’s ownership a bit without any cost to us.The math isn’t complicated: When the share count goes down, your interest in our many businesses goes up. Every small bit helps if repurchases are made at value-accretive prices. Just as surely, when a company overpays for repurchases, the continuing shareholders lose. At such times, gains flow only to the selling shareholders and to the friendly, but expensive, investment banker who recommended the foolish purchases.Gains from value-accretive repurchases, it should be emphasized, benefit all owners – in every respect. Imagine, if you will, three fully-informed shareholders of a local auto dealership, one of whom manages the business. Imagine, further, that one of the passive owners wishes to sell his interest back to the company at a price attractive to the two continuing shareholders. When completed, has this transaction harmed anyone? Is the manager somehow favored over the continuing passive owners? Has the public been hurt?When you are told that all repurchases are harmful to shareholders or to the country, or particularly beneficial to CEOs, you are listening to either an economic illiterate or a silver-tongued demagogue (characters that are not mutually exclusive).Almost endless details of Berkshire’s 2022 operations are laid out on pages K-33 – K-66. Charlie and I, along with many Berkshire shareholders, enjoy poring over the many facts and figures laid out in that section. These pages are not, however, required reading. There are many Berkshire centimillionaires and, yes, billionaires who have never studied our financial figures. They simply know that Charlie and I – along with our families and close friends – continue to have very significant investments in Berkshire, and they trust us to treat their money as we do our own.And that is a promise we can make.* * * * * * * * * * * *Finally, an important warning: Even the operating earnings figure that we favor can easily be manipulated by managers who wish to do so. Such tampering is often thought of as sophisticated by CEOs, directors and their advisors. Reporters and analysts embrace its existence as well. Beating “expectations” is heralded as a managerial triumph.That activity is disgusting. It requires no talent to manipulate numbers: Only a deep desire to deceive is required. “Bold imaginative accounting,” as a CEO once described his deception to me, has become one of the shames of capitalism.58 Years – and a Few FiguresIn 1965, Berkshire was a one-trick pony, the owner of a venerable – but doomed – New England textile operation.

Looking back, I was slow to recognize the severity of its problems.And then came a stroke of good luck: National Indemnity became available in 1967, and we shifted our resources toward insurance and other non-textile operations.Thus began our journey to 2023, a bumpy road involving a combination of continuous savings by our owners (that is, by their retaining earnings), the power of compounding, our avoidance of major mistakes and – most important of all – the American Tailwind. America would have done fine without Berkshire. The reverse is not true.Berkshire now enjoys major ownership in an unmatched collection of huge and diversified businesses. Let’s first look at the 5,000 or so publicly-held companies that trade daily on NASDAQ, the NYSE and related venues. Within this group is housed the members of the S&P 500 Index, an elite collection of large and well-known American companies.In aggregate, the 500 earned $1.8 trillion in 2021. I don’t yet have the final results for 2022. Using, therefore, the 2021 figures, only 128 of the 500 (including Berkshire itself) earned $3 billion or more.

Our job is to manage Berkshire’s operations and finances in a manner that will achieve an acceptable result over time and that will preserve the company’s unmatched staying power when financial panics or severe worldwide recessions occur.

We seek out good long-term investments and stubbornly hold them for a long time.- Ben Graham said, “Day to day, the stock market is a voting machine; in the long term it’s a weighing machine.” If you keep making something more valuable, then some wise person is going to notice it and start buying.- There is no such thing as a 100% sure thing when investing. Thus, the use of leverage is dangerous. A string of wonderful numbers times zero will always equal zero. Don’t count on getting rich twice.- You don’t, however, need to own a lot of things in order to get rich.- You have to keep learning if you want to become a great investor. When the world changes, you must change.- Warren and I hated railroad stocks for decades, but the world changed and finally the country had four huge railroads of vital importance to the American economy. We were slow to recognize the change, but better late than never.- Finally, I will add two short sentences by Charlie that have been his decision-clinchers for decades: “Warren, think more about it. You’re smart and I’m right.”And so it goes. I never have a phone call with Charlie without learning something. And, while he makes me think, he also makes me laugh.* * * * * * * * * * * *I will add to Charlie’s list a rule of my own:   Find   a   very   smart   high-grade partner – preferably slightly older than you – and then listen very carefully to what he says.A Family Gathering in OmahaCharlie and I are shameless. Last year, at our first shareholder get-together in three years, we greeted you with our usual commercial hustle.From the opening bell, we went straight for your wallet. In short order, our See’s kiosk sold you eleven tons of nourishing peanut brittle and chocolates. In our P.T. Barnum pitch, we promised you longevity. After all, what else but candy from See’s could account for Charlie and me making it to 99 and 92?I know you can’t wait to hear the specifics of last year’s hustle.On Friday, the doors were open from noon until 5 p.m., and our candy counters rang up 2,690 individual sales. On Saturday, See’s registered an additional 3,931 transactions between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., despite the fact that 612 of the 912 operating hours occurred while our movie and the question-and-answer session were limiting commercial traffic.Do the math: See’s rang up about 10 sales per minute during its prime operating time (racking up $400,309 of volume during the two days), with all the goods purchased at a single location selling products that haven’t been materially altered in 101 years. What worked for See’s in the days of Henry Ford’s model T works now.* * * * * * * * * * * *Charlie, I, and the entire Berkshire bunch look forward to seeing you in Omaha on May 5-6. We will have a good time and so will you.February 25, 2023 Warren E.

Since Alibaba will report its next quarterly results this week, we&#39;ll take a look at what investors can expect from thereport and at some items that will be important going forward.</p><h2>What Can We Expect From BABA&#39;s Results?</h2><p>Alibaba Group Holding Limited will report its next quarterly results on Thursday, February 23. Analysts are currently predicting that the company will report the following results for the quarter:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6d16cca3e168c884ad5aa216857f76a7\" tg-width=\"629\" tg-height=\"249\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>Both the earnings per share estimate and the revenue estimate represent a big increase versus the results that Alibaba reported for the previous quarter, its fiscal Q2. This can be explained by two factors. First, China started to reopen its economy during the most recent quarter. While the country had been following a Zero COVID approach for sometime, that changed towards the end of the calendar year 2022. China&#39;s economic reopening has led to improving consumer sentiment, as consumers are willing to spend more when they aren&#39;t locked down and uncertain about their economic future. Business customers also are more active following China&#39;s reopening, thus activity increased in that segment as well.</p><p>On top of that, there also is a seasonal impact at play, however. The fiscal third quarter almost always is a more active one compared to the fiscal second quarter for Alibaba due to the holiday impact (even though the Chinese New Year is in January or February). The 11/11 day, or Single&#39;s Day, plays a role in the fiscal third quarter being a stronger-than-average year for Alibaba and many other Chinese consumer companies. An improvement in BABA&#39;s sales from the fiscal second quarter to the fiscal third quarter would thus be expected even without the COVID policy change tailwind, but the positive impact of China&#39;s reopening will likely translate into a more pronounced quarter-to-quarter growth rate.</p><p>Not surprisingly, the earnings per share estimate implies a considerable earnings improvement on a sequential basis as well. With rising revenues, profits are rising, all else equal. Due to the impact of operating leverage -- operating expenses are generally growing slower than revenues and gross profits -- earnings growth could be more pronounced than the company&#39;s sales growth. That is also what analysts are predicting, as the forecasted earnings per share increase of 35% is significantly larger than the forecasted revenue increase of 24%. It is likely that Alibaba&#39;s buybacks play a role here as well. The company is currently buying back shares under its $25 billion buyback authorization, thus a decline in the company&#39;s share count, both on a year-over-year basis as well as on a sequential basis, should positively impact Alibaba&#39;s earnings per share growth rate.</p><p>The expected earnings per share of $2.44 for the quarter imply that Alibaba will earn $7.75 during the current year when we also factor in the current consensus estimate for Alibaba&#39;s fiscal fourth quarter (the one we are in right now). Of course, it would not be too surprising to see Alibaba outperform expectations, as that would be very much in line with the recent performance. Or, in other words, Wall Street analysts have a pretty clear track record of underestimating Alibaba, at least in the recent past:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2eacbe416ed7664f590817f6568a5301\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"144\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>Over the last four quarters, Alibaba has beaten earnings per share estimates every single time. On average, the company beat estimates by $0.16, which is pretty meaningful. If the company were to beat estimates for the third quarter and the fourth quarter by a similar amount, actual earnings per share would come in around $8.10 for the current year, significantly above what analysts are predicting right now. This is, of course, not guaranteed, but I believe that an earnings beat is more likely than an earnings miss.</p><p>When it comes to Alibaba&#39;s operational results, there&#39;s a couple of noteworthy items investors should account for when assessingAlibaba&#39;sbusiness results. The first one of these isAlibaba&#39;scustomer count growth. While Alibaba already has a large share of the addressable market in its home country, its growth potential in foreign markets is more pronounced. Ongoing growth in the number of users across Alibaba&#39;s platforms would be a good sign for BABA&#39;s longer-term international growth potential.</p><p>Second, BABA&#39;s cloud growth performance is an important metric. China&#39;s cloud computing market is not as developed as that of the US or Europe, but BABA is one of the leading Chinese cloud players. During the most recent quarter, Alibaba&#39;s cloud computing revenue, including Alibaba Cloud and DingTalk, totaled $2.9 billion once inter-segment revenues are eliminated. That was up just 4% year over year, which was weaker compared to what many investors had expected. As BABA&#39;s cloud computing business is seen as an important growth driver going forward, an improvement in the sales growth rate for the unit would be a good sign. Since business customers likely have become less defensive during the fiscal third quarter as China started to reopen its economy, I believe that an improvement in the growth rate is likely, although not guaranteed. If BABA&#39;s cloud revenue growth rate remained weak during the quarter, that would be a bad sign for the company and its stock, as it would hurt one argument of the bull thesis. If cloud revenue growth improved, that would be a major positive, however. This would align with the belief that BABA&#39;s cloud business will eventually become a major growth driver for shareholder value -- potentially similar to what AWS has done for Amazon (AMZN), with the added benefit that BABA&#39;s core retail business is pretty profitable, which does not hold true for Amazon.</p><p>When it comes to BABA&#39;s margin performance, the recent past has been positive. During the fiscal second quarter, Alibaba grew its adjusted EBITDA by 24%, relative to the previous year&#39;s quarter, which was the result of more cost-cutting efforts, as revenue had grown significantly less than 24% over the same time frame. Alibaba has brought down non-core spending in the recent past, which had a positive impact on profitability. It is likely that this trend persisted through the fiscal third quarter, which is why an improvement in BABA&#39;s bottom line during the quarter is likely, relative to one year earlier. Investors should be happy about this trend, of course, as improving margins mean that BABA could be able to grow its profit faster than its revenue. Since earnings, or earnings per share, ultimately impact a stock&#39;s price (at constant valuations, at least), earnings per share growth is one of the most important metrics for investors.</p><h2>Macro, Risks, And Final Thoughts</h2><p>With China&#39;s economic reopening, the macro picture for consumer spending in the country looks positive. At the same time, however, tensions exist between China and the US. Very recently, the US warned that China might provide more active support to Russia when it comes to the ongoing war in Ukraine. If that happens, tensions between the US and China could rise further, which could be a reason for US-based investors to sell shares of BABA, which could cause a declining share price. Tensions due to the brewing Taiwan conflict are another macro risk that should be considered by Alibaba&#39;s shareholders.</p><p>Alibaba has seen its share price benefit from the fact that regulation seems to be a declining risk factor for BABA, although it still remains an issue investors should keep an eye on. Chinese regulators have recently allowed a capital increase for Ant Group, in which BABA owns a large position. This suggests that regulators have become less harsh when it comes to Ant Group, which, in turn, could be beneficial for BABA, where regulation has been a concern (and a bear argument) as well.

While the risk factors have not ceased to exist, the regulatory risk has gotten less severe, I believe, and the low valuation could result in significant upside potential for BABA in the longer run.</p><p><i>This article is written by Jonathan Weber for reference only.

Since Alibaba will report its next quarterly results this week, we'll take a look at what investors can expect from thereport and at some items that will be important going forward.What Can We Expect From BABA's Results?Alibaba Group Holding Limited will report its next quarterly results on Thursday, February 23. Analysts are currently predicting that the company will report the following results for the quarter:Seeking AlphaBoth the earnings per share estimate and the revenue estimate represent a big increase versus the results that Alibaba reported for the previous quarter, its fiscal Q2. This can be explained by two factors. First, China started to reopen its economy during the most recent quarter. While the country had been following a Zero COVID approach for sometime, that changed towards the end of the calendar year 2022. China's economic reopening has led to improving consumer sentiment, as consumers are willing to spend more when they aren't locked down and uncertain about their economic future. Business customers also are more active following China's reopening, thus activity increased in that segment as well.On top of that, there also is a seasonal impact at play, however. The fiscal third quarter almost always is a more active one compared to the fiscal second quarter for Alibaba due to the holiday impact (even though the Chinese New Year is in January or February). The 11/11 day, or Single's Day, plays a role in the fiscal third quarter being a stronger-than-average year for Alibaba and many other Chinese consumer companies. An improvement in BABA's sales from the fiscal second quarter to the fiscal third quarter would thus be expected even without the COVID policy change tailwind, but the positive impact of China's reopening will likely translate into a more pronounced quarter-to-quarter growth rate.Not surprisingly, the earnings per share estimate implies a considerable earnings improvement on a sequential basis as well. With rising revenues, profits are rising, all else equal. Due to the impact of operating leverage -- operating expenses are generally growing slower than revenues and gross profits -- earnings growth could be more pronounced than the company's sales growth. That is also what analysts are predicting, as the forecasted earnings per share increase of 35% is significantly larger than the forecasted revenue increase of 24%. It is likely that Alibaba's buybacks play a role here as well. The company is currently buying back shares under its $25 billion buyback authorization, thus a decline in the company's share count, both on a year-over-year basis as well as on a sequential basis, should positively impact Alibaba's earnings per share growth rate.The expected earnings per share of $2.44 for the quarter imply that Alibaba will earn $7.75 during the current year when we also factor in the current consensus estimate for Alibaba's fiscal fourth quarter (the one we are in right now). Of course, it would not be too surprising to see Alibaba outperform expectations, as that would be very much in line with the recent performance. Or, in other words, Wall Street analysts have a pretty clear track record of underestimating Alibaba, at least in the recent past:Seeking AlphaOver the last four quarters, Alibaba has beaten earnings per share estimates every single time. On average, the company beat estimates by $0.16, which is pretty meaningful. If the company were to beat estimates for the third quarter and the fourth quarter by a similar amount, actual earnings per share would come in around $8.10 for the current year, significantly above what analysts are predicting right now. This is, of course, not guaranteed, but I believe that an earnings beat is more likely than an earnings miss.When it comes to Alibaba's operational results, there's a couple of noteworthy items investors should account for when assessingAlibaba'sbusiness results. The first one of these isAlibaba'scustomer count growth. While Alibaba already has a large share of the addressable market in its home country, its growth potential in foreign markets is more pronounced. Ongoing growth in the number of users across Alibaba's platforms would be a good sign for BABA's longer-term international growth potential.Second, BABA's cloud growth performance is an important metric. China's cloud computing market is not as developed as that of the US or Europe, but BABA is one of the leading Chinese cloud players. During the most recent quarter, Alibaba's cloud computing revenue, including Alibaba Cloud and DingTalk, totaled $2.9 billion once inter-segment revenues are eliminated. That was up just 4% year over year, which was weaker compared to what many investors had expected. As BABA's cloud computing business is seen as an important growth driver going forward, an improvement in the sales growth rate for the unit would be a good sign. Since business customers likely have become less defensive during the fiscal third quarter as China started to reopen its economy, I believe that an improvement in the growth rate is likely, although not guaranteed. If BABA's cloud revenue growth rate remained weak during the quarter, that would be a bad sign for the company and its stock, as it would hurt one argument of the bull thesis. If cloud revenue growth improved, that would be a major positive, however. This would align with the belief that BABA's cloud business will eventually become a major growth driver for shareholder value -- potentially similar to what AWS has done for Amazon (AMZN), with the added benefit that BABA's core retail business is pretty profitable, which does not hold true for Amazon.When it comes to BABA's margin performance, the recent past has been positive. During the fiscal second quarter, Alibaba grew its adjusted EBITDA by 24%, relative to the previous year's quarter, which was the result of more cost-cutting efforts, as revenue had grown significantly less than 24% over the same time frame. Alibaba has brought down non-core spending in the recent past, which had a positive impact on profitability. It is likely that this trend persisted through the fiscal third quarter, which is why an improvement in BABA's bottom line during the quarter is likely, relative to one year earlier. Investors should be happy about this trend, of course, as improving margins mean that BABA could be able to grow its profit faster than its revenue. Since earnings, or earnings per share, ultimately impact a stock's price (at constant valuations, at least), earnings per share growth is one of the most important metrics for investors.Macro, Risks, And Final ThoughtsWith China's economic reopening, the macro picture for consumer spending in the country looks positive. At the same time, however, tensions exist between China and the US. Very recently, the US warned that China might provide more active support to Russia when it comes to the ongoing war in Ukraine. If that happens, tensions between the US and China could rise further, which could be a reason for US-based investors to sell shares of BABA, which could cause a declining share price. Tensions due to the brewing Taiwan conflict are another macro risk that should be considered by Alibaba's shareholders.Alibaba has seen its share price benefit from the fact that regulation seems to be a declining risk factor for BABA, although it still remains an issue investors should keep an eye on. Chinese regulators have recently allowed a capital increase for Ant Group, in which BABA owns a large position. This suggests that regulators have become less harsh when it comes to Ant Group, which, in turn, could be beneficial for BABA, where regulation has been a concern (and a bear argument) as well. While this risk has not vanished, it's good to see that things are seemingly moving in the right direction.To sum things up, Alibaba is well-positioned to benefit from the ongoing economic reopening in its most important market, and recent margin improvement initiatives have been paying off. BABA has a good chance of beating earnings estimates when it reports later this week, I believe. At current prices, BABA is trading for around 12x to 13x this year's expected net profit, while the earnings multiple based on next year's expected earnings per share is just 11. That upcoming fiscal year will start in April, or just above 2 months from now. While the risk factors have not ceased to exist, the regulatory risk has gotten less severe, I believe, and the low valuation could result in significant upside potential for BABA in the longer run.This article is written by Jonathan Weber for reference only.

The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists expects a 0.4% advance in the core measure, which excludes food and fuel and better reflects underlying inflation.Those monthly advances are seen slowing the deceleration in annual inflation that remains well north of the Fed’s goal. In addition, Friday’s data will underscore a fully engaged American consumer, with economists anticipating the sharpest advance in nominal spending on goods and services since October 2021.This week’s report is also projected to show the largest increase in personal income in 1 1/2 years, fueled both by a resilient job market and a large upward cost-of-living adjustment for Social Security recipients.In sum, the income and spending data are expected to illustrate the challenge confronting a Fed in the midst of its most aggressive policy tightening campaign in a generation. The report follows figures this past week revealing a spike in retail sales and hotter-than-anticipated consumer and producer price data.What Bloomberg Economics Says:“It’s stunning that the decline in year-over-year inflation has stalled completely, given the favorable base effects and supply environment. That means it won’t take much for new inflation peaks to arise.”—Anna Wong, Eliza Winger and Stuart Paul. For full analysisInvestors have been upping their bets on how far the Fed will raise rates this tightening cycle. They now see the federal funds rate climbing to 5.3% in July, according to interest-rate futures. That compares with a perceived peak rate of 4.9% just two weeks ago.Minutes from the Fed’s latest policy meeting, at which the central bank raised its benchmark rate by 25 basis points, will also be released on Wednesday. The readout may help shed light on the appetite for a bigger increase when policymakers convene again in March after recent comments from some officials suggested as much.Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester said this week that she had seen a “compelling economic case” for rolling out another 50 basis-point hike earlier this month, while the St. Louis Fed’s James Bullard said he wouldn’t rule out supporting such an increase in March.January new- and existing-home sales, along with the second estimate of fourth-quarter gross domestic product, are among other US data releases this week.Elsewhere, in North America, Canada’s January inflation data will inform trader bets on the future path of rates after the Bank of Canada declared a conditional pause to hikes, only to see the labor market tighten further.Meanwhile testimony by Japan’s next central-bank chief, a Group of 20 meeting of finance ministers, and rate increases in New Zealand and Israel, are among other highlights of the week ahead.AsiaIn a big week for central banking in Asia-Pacific, investors will get their first detailed look into Kazuo Ueda’s policy views on Friday during the first parliamentary hearings for the nominee to become Bank of Japan governor.That’ll follow another expected rate hike from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand as it continues to battle inflation in excess of 7%.The Bank of Korea is predicted to pause amid signs of strain in its economy, though another hike can’t be ruled out given inflation remains above 5%.Minutes from the most recent Reserve Bank of Australia meeting are likely to give more insight into the board’s thinking on further rate hikes as Governor Philip Lowe battles to fight off criticism over his leadership.Ahead of the weekend, Japanese inflation figures are expected to show there’s still plenty of heat in prices for the new BOJ governor to consider.And in India, Group of 20 finance chiefs will meet later in the week to discuss the world economy in their first such gathering of the year.Europe, Middle East, AfricaEuro-region data highlights include the flash survey readings from purchasing managers for February, providing insights into how well the economy is holding up after unexpectedly growing in the fourth quarter. That’s scheduled for Tuesday.The final reading of euro-zone inflation, due on Thursday, will take on greater significance than usual after delayed German data was omitted from the first estimate. Economists anticipate a small upward revision.In Germany itself, the Ifo index of business sentiment on Wednesday will signal how Europe’s biggest economy is weathering the energy crisis. Economists forecast improvements on all key measures.In the UK, where inflation slowed more than expected last month, investors will watch for analysis of what that means for policy from Bank of England officials. Catherine Mann and Silvana Tenreyro are both scheduled to make appearances.Over in the Nordic region, on Monday the Riksbank will release minutes of its inaugural meeting of 2023. That decision, which featured a half-point rate increase, a pledge to sell bonds, and a pivot toward seeking a stronger krona, was the first for new Swedish Governor Erik Thedeen.Looking south, Israel’s central bank will likely deliver the smallest rate hike of its monetary tightening cycle by lifting its benchmark a quarter percentage point to 4% on Monday. But a surprise pickup in inflation, alongside political turbulence, raise the risk that policymakers could opt for a more aggressive move.South African Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana will present his annual budget on Wednesday. He’s expected to announce how much of state power utility Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd.’s 400 billion-rand ($22 billion) debt will be taken over by the government.Nigerian data on Wednesday may show growth slowed to 1.9% in the fourth quarter from 2.3% in the prior three-month period, according to economist estimates. That’s as cash shortages, rising debt-servicing costs, deteriorating fiscal balances, a plunging naira and election jitters curtail spending and investment.Turkey’s central bank is set to cut rates to less than 9%, as pledged by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan earlier this month. The country’s devastating earthquakes will also spur officials to carry out more easing on Thursday, economists say.Latin AmericaIn Mexico, the mid-month consumer price report should underscore the obvious: inflation is elevated, well over target and sticky as the headline rate hovers near 7.8% while core readings continue to run above 8%.The minutes of Banxico’s Feb. 9 meeting may offer some guidance on what policymakers see as a possible terminal rate from the current 11% and how long they might decide to keep it there.December GDP-proxy data from Argentina and Mexico will probably show that both economies are cooling rapidly. Peru’s fourth-quarter output report is also predicted to reveal a drop in momentum, capturing the December onset of political turmoil and nationwide unrest set off by President Pedro Castillo’s ouster.Brazil’s central bank posts its market expectations survey at mid-week with the end of the Carnival holiday. Both President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and central bank chief Roberto Campos Neto gave high-profile interviews that may help damp tensions over monetary policy that are at least partly to blame for rising inflation expectations.Mid-month consumer price data posted Friday may show inflation is hung up near the 5.79% currently forecast for year-end 2023 and precisely where it finished 2022.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":172,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9957010021,"gmtCreate":1676758090664,"gmtModify":1676758094853,"author":{"id":"3572830110372716","authorId":"3572830110372716","name":"KCtan1688","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb264e77c49fffb1d26a89a47dbc0250","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572830110372716","authorIdStr":"3572830110372716"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":17,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9957010021","repostId":"1100725481","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1100725481","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1676779312,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1100725481?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-02-19 12:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Reminder: U.S. Market Will Be Closed for Washington's Birthday on Monday, Feb. 20, 2023","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1100725481","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Washington's Birthday (Presidents Day) is around the corner.

We may be just halfway through the second month of the year, but dozens of stocks have already more than doubled.</p><p>Shares of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SOUN\">SoundHound AI</a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OPEN\">Opendoor</a>, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VLD\">Velo3D</a> are trading a respective 121%, 102%, and 105% higher so far this year through Wednesday&#39;s close. What&#39;s making those names tick? Let&#39;s take a closer look at these three hot stocks that are on the move.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SOUN\">SoundHound AI</a></h2><p>When you think about conversational intelligence, you might concoct images of Ivy Leaguers at a cocktail party or a Mensa speed-dating event -- but it&#39;s a lot cooler than that for SoundHound AI. The company operates an independent voice artificial intelligence (AI) platform, giving businesses a way to use AI-enhanced tools for speech recognition, transcription, and computer-generated speech to deliver a better conversational experience for their customers.</p><p>There are a lot of brands you know that are leaning on SoundHound AI&#39;s next-gen approach to customer service. Mercedes-Benz, <b>Netflix</b>, and Pandora are just some of its clients. Last year, it signed a global seven-year deal with <b>Hyundai</b>, prying it from the grasp of a rival.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a39b63ca0b9b42bcfd150a14091e5a46\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>SoundHound may have some pretty big customers on its roster, but it&#39;s still early in the revenue-recognition process. Three weeks ago, it announced preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter and all of 2022. It expects to report roughly $31 million in revenue for the entire year, and that&#39;s actually at the high end of its earlier guidance range.</p><p>Ringing up $31 million on the top line translates to 46% growth for 2022, and SoundHound expects revenue gains to accelerate by climbing approximately 50% in 2023. With a foundation of $300 million in bookings, it has a long runway of growth on the way, but with a market cap approaching $800 million, it&#39;s certainly not cheap.</p><p>SoundHound also isn&#39;t profitable but is working on it. The company announced a targeted restructuring that it expects will reduce costs by 40%. It now expects to be operating-cash-flow positive by the fourth quarter of this year.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OPEN\">Opendoor</a></h2><p>Flipping homes isn&#39;t easy these days. Holding costs have gotten more expensive with interest rates rising, and there&#39;s no longer the expectation that a property purchased now can appreciate in the near future. It may seem odd to see Opendoor more than doubling in this icy real estate climate, but reality has been kinder than the public once feared.</p><p>Citi analyst Ygal Arounian boosted his price target on the shares earlier this week. He&#39;s sticking with a neutral rating on the shares but feels that the housing industry&#39;s macro indicators are starting to stabilize after months of decline. Mortgage rates have inched higher over the past week but remain well below their November highs, despite subsequent Fed moves to tighten up the credit market.</p><p>There will be near-term challenges. Revenue may have soared 48% in the third quarter, but two months into the fourth quarter, Opendoor announced it would be laying off 18% of its staff.</p><p>It had $6.1 billion worth of homes on its portfolio at the end of September. It was a scary prospect at the time, but if the real estate market is bottoming out here -- and can begin to bounce back this year -- Opendoor will be rewarded for sticking to its iBuyer niche when many of its peers threw in the towel.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VLD\">Velo3D</a></h2><p>Let&#39;s start with the big news for Cathie Wood fans. She did <i>not</i> add to her Velo3D position on Wednesday. The iconic growth money manager had purchased shares of the metal 3D-printing specialist in 10 of the previous 12 trading days for her Ark Invest family of exchange-traded funds.</p><p>Velo3D&#39;s Sapphire printers serve the aerospace, aviation, industrial power, and oil and gas industries. If their assembly lines falter for hard-to-get metal parts, Velo3D&#39;s additive manufacturing solutions are there to make the mission-critical components cheaper and likely faster than securing the part through a third-party vendor.</p><p>Like SoundHound AI, Velo3D is early in its growth cycle. Revenue clocked in at just $27.4 million in 2021, but its updated guidance calls for between $80 million and $81 million for all of 2023.</p><p>Wood&#39;s shopping spree has drawn investor interest to Velo3D. It&#39;s up 64% since she started buying on Jan. 30. Some of that good fortune is also Velo3D&#39;s handiwork.

We may be just halfway through the second month of the year, but dozens of stocks have already more than doubled.Shares of SoundHound AI, Opendoor, and Velo3D are trading a respective 121%, 102%, and 105% higher so far this year through Wednesday's close. What's making those names tick? Let's take a closer look at these three hot stocks that are on the move.SoundHound AIWhen you think about conversational intelligence, you might concoct images of Ivy Leaguers at a cocktail party or a Mensa speed-dating event -- but it's a lot cooler than that for SoundHound AI. The company operates an independent voice artificial intelligence (AI) platform, giving businesses a way to use AI-enhanced tools for speech recognition, transcription, and computer-generated speech to deliver a better conversational experience for their customers.There are a lot of brands you know that are leaning on SoundHound AI's next-gen approach to customer service. Mercedes-Benz, Netflix, and Pandora are just some of its clients. Last year, it signed a global seven-year deal with Hyundai, prying it from the grasp of a rival.Image source: Getty Images.SoundHound may have some pretty big customers on its roster, but it's still early in the revenue-recognition process. Three weeks ago, it announced preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter and all of 2022. It expects to report roughly $31 million in revenue for the entire year, and that's actually at the high end of its earlier guidance range.Ringing up $31 million on the top line translates to 46% growth for 2022, and SoundHound expects revenue gains to accelerate by climbing approximately 50% in 2023. With a foundation of $300 million in bookings, it has a long runway of growth on the way, but with a market cap approaching $800 million, it's certainly not cheap.SoundHound also isn't profitable but is working on it. The company announced a targeted restructuring that it expects will reduce costs by 40%. It now expects to be operating-cash-flow positive by the fourth quarter of this year.OpendoorFlipping homes isn't easy these days. Holding costs have gotten more expensive with interest rates rising, and there's no longer the expectation that a property purchased now can appreciate in the near future. It may seem odd to see Opendoor more than doubling in this icy real estate climate, but reality has been kinder than the public once feared.Citi analyst Ygal Arounian boosted his price target on the shares earlier this week. He's sticking with a neutral rating on the shares but feels that the housing industry's macro indicators are starting to stabilize after months of decline. Mortgage rates have inched higher over the past week but remain well below their November highs, despite subsequent Fed moves to tighten up the credit market.There will be near-term challenges. Revenue may have soared 48% in the third quarter, but two months into the fourth quarter, Opendoor announced it would be laying off 18% of its staff.It had $6.1 billion worth of homes on its portfolio at the end of September. It was a scary prospect at the time, but if the real estate market is bottoming out here -- and can begin to bounce back this year -- Opendoor will be rewarded for sticking to its iBuyer niche when many of its peers threw in the towel.Velo3DLet's start with the big news for Cathie Wood fans. She did not add to her Velo3D position on Wednesday. The iconic growth money manager had purchased shares of the metal 3D-printing specialist in 10 of the previous 12 trading days for her Ark Invest family of exchange-traded funds.Velo3D's Sapphire printers serve the aerospace, aviation, industrial power, and oil and gas industries. If their assembly lines falter for hard-to-get metal parts, Velo3D's additive manufacturing solutions are there to make the mission-critical components cheaper and likely faster than securing the part through a third-party vendor.Like SoundHound AI, Velo3D is early in its growth cycle. Revenue clocked in at just $27.4 million in 2021, but its updated guidance calls for between $80 million and $81 million for all of 2023.Wood's shopping spree has drawn investor interest to Velo3D. It's up 64% since she started buying on Jan. 30. Some of that good fortune is also Velo3D's handiwork. It boosted its full-year guidance a few days into Wood's purchasing run, but that did come a couple of months after lowering its outlook. For now, the 3D printing stock is printing money for its shareholders.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":40,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9954758901,"gmtCreate":1676673044404,"gmtModify":1676673048508,"author":{"id":"3572830110372716","authorId":"3572830110372716","name":"KCtan1688","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb264e77c49fffb1d26a89a47dbc0250","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572830110372716","authorIdStr":"3572830110372716"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9954758901","repostId":"2311443902","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":151,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9953891216,"gmtCreate":1673213853836,"gmtModify":1676538799058,"author":{"id":"3572830110372716","authorId":"3572830110372716","name":"KCtan1688","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb264e77c49fffb1d26a89a47dbc0250","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572830110372716","authorIdStr":"3572830110372716"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":16,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9953891216","repostId":"2301735185","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2301735185","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1673147100,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2301735185?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-01-08 11:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla: Woke Mob Fury - 20 Top Growth Stocks Ranked","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2301735185","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryAs the woke mob’s fury grows, Tesla shares are down 70%, despite the fact that revenues and p","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>Summary</h2><ul><li>As the woke mob’s fury grows, Tesla shares are down 70%, despite the fact that revenues and profits keep growing rapidly.</li><li>We rank Tesla (based on fundamental metrics) versus 20 top growth stocks sourced from the top 10 holdings of two popular active growth ETFs (Future Fund (FFND), ARK Innovation (ARKK)).</li><li>Both funds have large positions in Tesla.</li><li>We dive deeper into Tesla, including its tangled business history with the woke mob, future growth potential, profitability, valuation and big risks.</li><li>We conclude with some critical takeaways and our strong opinion about investing in Tesla and growth stocks in general.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a85f0616585571533c4f60e434cc42b7\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"500\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Blue Harbinger Research, Big Dividends PLUS jetcityimage</span></p><p>Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares are down more than 70%, and it’s going to get worse. For starters, the “woke mob” is ticked at CEO Elon Musk. Next, growth stocks in general are getting hammered as interest rates rise and there is no “fed put” in sight. In this report, we rank Tesla (based on fundamental metrics) versus 20 top growth stocks sourced from the top 10 holdings of two popular active growth ETFs, Future Fund (FFND) and ARK Innovation (ARKK), both have very large positions in Tesla. After digging deeper into the details on Tesla (including its tangled business history with the woke mob, future growth potential, profitability, valuation and risks), we conclude with our strong opinion about investing in Tesla and growth stocks in general.</p><h2>Tesla Overview:</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/898f585435879dffaa9dec83e460b41c\" tg-width=\"424\" tg-height=\"98\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla</span></p><p>As you know, Tesla designs, develops, manufactures, leases, and sells electric vehicles, and energy generation and storage systems (in the United States, China, and internationally). For reporting purposes, the company is divided into two operating segments (Automotive, and Energy Generation and Storage), but there is a lot more going on. For starters, here is a high level look at Tesla’s recent operations, in terms of vehicle production and deliveries, as well as solar and storage deployment and supercharger stations.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aedaf32fc31973d75c7cc11d1af38908\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla Q3 Investor Presentation</span></p><h2>Electric Vehicles: The Un-Holy Grail</h2><p>Tesla’s electric vehicles (“EVs”) and other solutions have captured mounds of positive (and some negative) attention over the years, in large part because it seems to provide a compelling alternative to the dangers of fossil fuel consumption (pollution) and climate change. And while these are noble aspirations, the reality is:</p><blockquote><i>Electricity grids in most of the world are still powered by fossil fuels such as coal or oil, and EVs depend on that energy to get charged. Separately, EV battery production remains an energy-intensive process.</i></blockquote><p>Basically, EV’s are still largely powered by the fossil fuels that many are trying to avoid. Further, electric vehicle batteries are extraordinarily harmful to the environment when their lives are over (plus the mining that goes into obtaining the rare elements for batteries is particularly unfriendly to the environment too). For example:</p><blockquote><i>Not only do these batteries require large amounts of raw materials, including lithium, nickel and cobalt – mining for which has climate, environmental and human rights impacts – they also threaten to leave a mountain of electronic waste as they reach the end of their lives.</i></blockquote><p>Further still, and despite the fact that Tesla has built out an impressive charging network (you can see the numbers in the table above), it’s still a lot easier and faster to simply fill up with gas than it can be to charge an electric vehicle. We’ll have a lot more to say about Tesla vehicles and other Tesla solutions in the section of this report on growth potential.</p><h2>Tesla’s History: In Bed with the Woke Mob</h2><p>Tesla was incorporated in 2003, and Elon Must became the largest shareholder in 2004 through a $6.5 million investment (Musk had $100 million from his recent sale of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a> (PYPL)—a company he cofounded). However, It wasn’t until 2021 when the company finally become profitable, for the first time, without the help of emissions credits. If you don’t know, emission credits are basically financial incentives created by government entities to help reduce pollution. And these types of government incentives were a huge factor in allowing Tesla to remain in existence over the years. For example, Tesla was only about a month away from going bankrupt during the Model 3 ramp from mid-2017 to mid-2019.</p><p>Clearly emission credits and government incentives helped Tesla become the large organization it is today (we’ll have more to say about Tesla’s current financial position later in this report), and those credits and incentives would not have existed were it not for the social and political pressures of the environmentally-focused woke mob.</p><h2>Why Growth Stocks Are Getting Crushed:</h2><p>Here is a look at the recent performance of growth stocks (including the S&amp;P 500 Growth Index (IVW), the Future Fund and the ARK innovation ETF) versus the S&amp;P 500 (SPY). It’s not been pretty for growth stocks, and it’s going to get worse (as we explain below).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e4ecc5604d9091ef9a9441191395d91\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"451\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>YCharts</span></p><p>In simple terms, growth stocks are getting hammered because the pandemic bubble is bursting. Specifically, the extraordinarily easy monetary and fiscal policies that were implemented after the onset of the pandemic led growth stocks to soar (because central banks held borrowing costs / interest rates artificially low (near 0%) and governments were throwing free money everywhere). And now that free money is gone, we’re left with the giant sucking sound of high inflation as central banks rapidly raise rates to fight the inflation they helped create.</p><p>Making matters worse, there is no “fed put” this time around (i.e. the fed isn’t going to bail out the stock market, as they have done in the past). The fed’s dual mandate is full employment and low inflation, and because unemployment is low but inflation is high, they’re going to keep raising rates (to fight inflation) which is driving the economy closer to an ugly recession. Basically, if you are a stock market investor (particularly a growth stock investor) the fed will likely keep tightening the screws on you until high inflation is gone.</p><h2>20 Top Growth Stocks, Ranked:</h2><p>The following tables include the top 10 holdings of two popular growth funds (i.e. Future Fund and ARK Innovation), as well as a variety of additional data points that are important considering the current macroeconomic environment (i.e. recession looming and a hawkish fed). Both funds have large positions in Tesla, as you can see below.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b634867b9343f2b0b3b27c7d15598ff5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"288\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>StockRover, Future Fund website</span></p><p>(GOOGL) (PWR) (CELH) (SPLK) (ENPH) (CRM) (ZM) (EXAS) (ROKU) (SQ) (PATH) (SHOP) (CRSP) (NTLA) (TDOC) (TWLO) (U) (COIN) (DKNG) (BEAM)</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5880c717cb5242d92253c23797f124f9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"276\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>StockRover, ARK website</span></p><p>The “Growth Score” (blue font) takes into consideration the 5 year history (as well as forward estimates) for EBITDA, Sales, and EPS growth (the best companies score a 100 (green) and the worst score a 0 (red)). If you’d like an expanded list, please reference our new report: Amazon: 100 Top Growth Stocks, Ranked.</p><p>Both funds (FFND and ARKK) invest in companies with very high future growth estimates (as you can see in the table above). However, from a fundamentals standpoint, you’ll also notice FFND invests in a lot more companies with positive net income margins, whereas ARKK does not. This has been an absolutely critical metric over the last year as the fed has increased rates. Specifically, companies that are not yet profitable (because they were banking on future profits) have suffered the worst losses (especially considering many of them may never achieve profits now that the fed has raised rates so much. In case you don’t know, when it comes to stock market investing—interest rates matter—a lot!</p><p>Also worth mentioning, FFND seems to pay a lot more attention to fundamentals, whereas ARKK appears largely focused on long-term growth ideas and concepts—fundamentals be darned!</p><h2>Tesla’s Future Growth Potential:</h2><p>With regards to Tesla, cash flows and profitability are both growing rapidly, a very good thing considering the current challenging capital market environment (e.g. rising interest rates).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d01496e29a20163f864265e210e046c1\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"288\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla Q3 Investor Presentation</span></p><p>From a business standpoint, Tesla’s vehicle deliveries continue to grow rapidly (despite the recent delivery miss, which caused the shares to sell off further); deliveries are at an all-time high.</p><p>The growing number of deliveries is so important because as production and deliveries keep ramping, so will Tesla’s economies of scale and profit. Further, Tesla could expand its total addressable market (“TAM”) by ten-fold by cutting the cost of an electric vehicle in half, according to this recent note from Sam Korus at ARK Investments.</p><blockquote><i>Last week, during its third-quarter earnings call, Elon Musk noted that Tesla is developing a vehicle that will sell at roughly half the price of the Model 3 and Model Y. While vehicles at price-points above $60,000 address ~5% of the total US car market, the addressable market expands to 50% at ~$30,000, as shown below.</i></blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/71ae69f9a434a648ecc86cb921b427de\" tg-width=\"1072\" tg-height=\"709\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>ARK Invest</span></p><p>Further still, Tesla has plans to launch a light truck, a semi truck and a more affordable sedan and SUV platforms. These will all contribute to economies of scale ad reduced manufacturing costs per unit. Further, Tesla’s efforts into autonomous driving software can add subscription revenue and keep the brand awareness and image high. Not to mention, Tesla’s robotaxi business add to the upside. Also notable, Tesla’s Dojo supercomputer could incrementally add value at some point in the future.</p><p>Tesla’s Energy Generation and Storage segment also continues to grow. And although not yet contributing meaningfully to profits, it continues to scale and can eventually earn margins similar to Enphase (ENPH) (a long-time Blue Harbinger Disciplined Growth Portfolio holding).</p><h2>Profitability:</h2><p>As Tesla continues to ramp, so too will its profitability (margins). It helps tremendously that the company is already profitable—something many other high-growth companies cannot say (see our earlier top growth stock tables), considering rising interest rates make for a more challenging capital markets environment. Here is a look at the company’s most recent quarterly income statement (as you can see costs are not rising as rapidly as revenues, thereby improving margins and profitability).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/555327a97cc8577e06e8387529b9896d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"335\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla Q3 Investor Presentation</span></p><p>Also very important, Tesla has a healthy balance sheet (see below). In particular, the company has more current assets than total liabilities (a good thing with rates rising and considering a significant portion of debt comes due in the next few years.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/64a1f6709a40f3c590af018baca39e5b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"328\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla Q3 Investor Presentation</span></p><p>Tesla does not pay a dividend and has not been repurchasing shares, both good things considering the growth potential is attractive. Specifically, with a return on invested capital above the cost of capital, Tesla has wisely been reinvesting in itself.</p><h2>Valuation:</h2><p>Unlike other growth businesses that have sold off hard over the last year (as the fed has become increasingly hawkish), Tesla is actually profitable and margins are improving. This is a very good thing, but it’s also critically important to acknowledge Tesla’s high uncertainly and volatility (as compared to the auto industry and the overall S&amp;P 500, as you can get some feel for in the graphics below).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ca520a7b7f328cb18678eba573444f36\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"278\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Tesla Q3 Investor Presentation</span></p><p>Assigning an exact valuation to Tesla given the high volatility, growth and uncertainty (Tesla is not a boring predictable company like Procter &amp; Gamble (PG) and Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ)) is a challenging endeavor with resulting numbers varying widely based on cost of capital, return on capital invested and growth rate assumptions. That said, it can be worthwhile to compare Tesla’s margins, growth rate, profitability and valuation metrics to other large companies, as shown in the table below.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/36f83e6837820c63254aa38f27f27ca0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"224\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>StockRover</span></p><p>A few notable things in the table above, Tesla is actually profitable (that’s more than a lot of other high-growth stocks can say) and even though its forward P/E ratio is way above other automakers, so is its expected growth rate much higher. Further, Tesla’s cost of capital is well below its return on invested capital, and its net margins are already very impressive (much better than GM and Ford) and expected to keep improving as economies of scale grow for Tesla.</p><p>For a little more perspective, the 33 Wall Street analysts covering the shares have an aggregate “Buy” rating, and many of them have price targets significantly higher than the current share price (which is down over 70% in the last year).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea343249fa15053559dcc9626d5301f9\" tg-width=\"654\" tg-height=\"295\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>In our view, if Tesla continues on its current growth trajectory (a very big “if”) the shares can easily trade dramatically higher, as earnings are set to grow dramatically. And even if the growth rate comes in lower than expected (but still remains relatively high) the shares are still undervalued. From a high level, the market seems overly pessimistic on Tesla relative to its long-term earnings power and value (perhaps a near-term phenomenon related to the woke mob’s increasing contempt for CEO, Elon Musk).</p><h2>Risk Factors:</h2><p><b>Woke Mob Fury</b>: In case you haven’t noticed, Tesla is a volatile stock that gets a lot of media attention, particularly from the environmentally-focused woke mob. As alluded to earlier, the woke mob created significant political pressure that led to the emissions credits and other government-sponsored incentives that have helped Tesla become the large company it is today. However, the woke mob’s opinion of Tesla is changing rapidly.</p><p>For starters, Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s recent purchase of Twitter (a major source for information distribution) has upset many from a political standpoint because they preferred the views of prior Twitter leadership. This has created significant negative media attention for Musk and for Tesla.

For starters, the “woke mob” is ticked at CEO Elon Musk. Next, growth stocks in general are getting hammered as interest rates rise and there is no “fed put” in sight. In this report, we rank Tesla (based on fundamental metrics) versus 20 top growth stocks sourced from the top 10 holdings of two popular active growth ETFs, Future Fund (FFND) and ARK Innovation (ARKK), both have very large positions in Tesla. After digging deeper into the details on Tesla (including its tangled business history with the woke mob, future growth potential, profitability, valuation and risks), we conclude with our strong opinion about investing in Tesla and growth stocks in general.Tesla Overview:TeslaAs you know, Tesla designs, develops, manufactures, leases, and sells electric vehicles, and energy generation and storage systems (in the United States, China, and internationally). For reporting purposes, the company is divided into two operating segments (Automotive, and Energy Generation and Storage), but there is a lot more going on. For starters, here is a high level look at Tesla’s recent operations, in terms of vehicle production and deliveries, as well as solar and storage deployment and supercharger stations.Tesla Q3 Investor PresentationElectric Vehicles: The Un-Holy GrailTesla’s electric vehicles (“EVs”) and other solutions have captured mounds of positive (and some negative) attention over the years, in large part because it seems to provide a compelling alternative to the dangers of fossil fuel consumption (pollution) and climate change. And while these are noble aspirations, the reality is:Electricity grids in most of the world are still powered by fossil fuels such as coal or oil, and EVs depend on that energy to get charged. Separately, EV battery production remains an energy-intensive process.Basically, EV’s are still largely powered by the fossil fuels that many are trying to avoid. Further, electric vehicle batteries are extraordinarily harmful to the environment when their lives are over (plus the mining that goes into obtaining the rare elements for batteries is particularly unfriendly to the environment too). For example:Not only do these batteries require large amounts of raw materials, including lithium, nickel and cobalt – mining for which has climate, environmental and human rights impacts – they also threaten to leave a mountain of electronic waste as they reach the end of their lives.Further still, and despite the fact that Tesla has built out an impressive charging network (you can see the numbers in the table above), it’s still a lot easier and faster to simply fill up with gas than it can be to charge an electric vehicle. We’ll have a lot more to say about Tesla vehicles and other Tesla solutions in the section of this report on growth potential.Tesla’s History: In Bed with the Woke MobTesla was incorporated in 2003, and Elon Must became the largest shareholder in 2004 through a $6.5 million investment (Musk had $100 million from his recent sale of PayPal (PYPL)—a company he cofounded). However, It wasn’t until 2021 when the company finally become profitable, for the first time, without the help of emissions credits. If you don’t know, emission credits are basically financial incentives created by government entities to help reduce pollution. And these types of government incentives were a huge factor in allowing Tesla to remain in existence over the years. For example, Tesla was only about a month away from going bankrupt during the Model 3 ramp from mid-2017 to mid-2019.Clearly emission credits and government incentives helped Tesla become the large organization it is today (we’ll have more to say about Tesla’s current financial position later in this report), and those credits and incentives would not have existed were it not for the social and political pressures of the environmentally-focused woke mob.Why Growth Stocks Are Getting Crushed:Here is a look at the recent performance of growth stocks (including the S&P 500 Growth Index (IVW), the Future Fund and the ARK innovation ETF) versus the S&P 500 (SPY). It’s not been pretty for growth stocks, and it’s going to get worse (as we explain below).YChartsIn simple terms, growth stocks are getting hammered because the pandemic bubble is bursting. Specifically, the extraordinarily easy monetary and fiscal policies that were implemented after the onset of the pandemic led growth stocks to soar (because central banks held borrowing costs / interest rates artificially low (near 0%) and governments were throwing free money everywhere). And now that free money is gone, we’re left with the giant sucking sound of high inflation as central banks rapidly raise rates to fight the inflation they helped create.Making matters worse, there is no “fed put” this time around (i.e. the fed isn’t going to bail out the stock market, as they have done in the past). The fed’s dual mandate is full employment and low inflation, and because unemployment is low but inflation is high, they’re going to keep raising rates (to fight inflation) which is driving the economy closer to an ugly recession. Basically, if you are a stock market investor (particularly a growth stock investor) the fed will likely keep tightening the screws on you until high inflation is gone.20 Top Growth Stocks, Ranked:The following tables include the top 10 holdings of two popular growth funds (i.e. Future Fund and ARK Innovation), as well as a variety of additional data points that are important considering the current macroeconomic environment (i.e. recession looming and a hawkish fed). Both funds have large positions in Tesla, as you can see below.StockRover, Future Fund website(GOOGL) (PWR) (CELH) (SPLK) (ENPH) (CRM) (ZM) (EXAS) (ROKU) (SQ) (PATH) (SHOP) (CRSP) (NTLA) (TDOC) (TWLO) (U) (COIN) (DKNG) (BEAM)StockRover, ARK websiteThe “Growth Score” (blue font) takes into consideration the 5 year history (as well as forward estimates) for EBITDA, Sales, and EPS growth (the best companies score a 100 (green) and the worst score a 0 (red)). If you’d like an expanded list, please reference our new report: Amazon: 100 Top Growth Stocks, Ranked.Both funds (FFND and ARKK) invest in companies with very high future growth estimates (as you can see in the table above). However, from a fundamentals standpoint, you’ll also notice FFND invests in a lot more companies with positive net income margins, whereas ARKK does not. This has been an absolutely critical metric over the last year as the fed has increased rates. Specifically, companies that are not yet profitable (because they were banking on future profits) have suffered the worst losses (especially considering many of them may never achieve profits now that the fed has raised rates so much. In case you don’t know, when it comes to stock market investing—interest rates matter—a lot!Also worth mentioning, FFND seems to pay a lot more attention to fundamentals, whereas ARKK appears largely focused on long-term growth ideas and concepts—fundamentals be darned!Tesla’s Future Growth Potential:With regards to Tesla, cash flows and profitability are both growing rapidly, a very good thing considering the current challenging capital market environment (e.g. rising interest rates).Tesla Q3 Investor PresentationFrom a business standpoint, Tesla’s vehicle deliveries continue to grow rapidly (despite the recent delivery miss, which caused the shares to sell off further); deliveries are at an all-time high.The growing number of deliveries is so important because as production and deliveries keep ramping, so will Tesla’s economies of scale and profit. Further, Tesla could expand its total addressable market (“TAM”) by ten-fold by cutting the cost of an electric vehicle in half, according to this recent note from Sam Korus at ARK Investments.Last week, during its third-quarter earnings call, Elon Musk noted that Tesla is developing a vehicle that will sell at roughly half the price of the Model 3 and Model Y. While vehicles at price-points above $60,000 address ~5% of the total US car market, the addressable market expands to 50% at ~$30,000, as shown below.ARK InvestFurther still, Tesla has plans to launch a light truck, a semi truck and a more affordable sedan and SUV platforms. These will all contribute to economies of scale ad reduced manufacturing costs per unit. Further, Tesla’s efforts into autonomous driving software can add subscription revenue and keep the brand awareness and image high. Not to mention, Tesla’s robotaxi business add to the upside. Also notable, Tesla’s Dojo supercomputer could incrementally add value at some point in the future.Tesla’s Energy Generation and Storage segment also continues to grow. And although not yet contributing meaningfully to profits, it continues to scale and can eventually earn margins similar to Enphase (ENPH) (a long-time Blue Harbinger Disciplined Growth Portfolio holding).Profitability:As Tesla continues to ramp, so too will its profitability (margins). It helps tremendously that the company is already profitable—something many other high-growth companies cannot say (see our earlier top growth stock tables), considering rising interest rates make for a more challenging capital markets environment. Here is a look at the company’s most recent quarterly income statement (as you can see costs are not rising as rapidly as revenues, thereby improving margins and profitability).Tesla Q3 Investor PresentationAlso very important, Tesla has a healthy balance sheet (see below). In particular, the company has more current assets than total liabilities (a good thing with rates rising and considering a significant portion of debt comes due in the next few years.Tesla Q3 Investor PresentationTesla does not pay a dividend and has not been repurchasing shares, both good things considering the growth potential is attractive. Specifically, with a return on invested capital above the cost of capital, Tesla has wisely been reinvesting in itself.Valuation:Unlike other growth businesses that have sold off hard over the last year (as the fed has become increasingly hawkish), Tesla is actually profitable and margins are improving. This is a very good thing, but it’s also critically important to acknowledge Tesla’s high uncertainly and volatility (as compared to the auto industry and the overall S&P 500, as you can get some feel for in the graphics below).Tesla Q3 Investor PresentationAssigning an exact valuation to Tesla given the high volatility, growth and uncertainty (Tesla is not a boring predictable company like Procter & Gamble (PG) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)) is a challenging endeavor with resulting numbers varying widely based on cost of capital, return on capital invested and growth rate assumptions. That said, it can be worthwhile to compare Tesla’s margins, growth rate, profitability and valuation metrics to other large companies, as shown in the table below.StockRoverA few notable things in the table above, Tesla is actually profitable (that’s more than a lot of other high-growth stocks can say) and even though its forward P/E ratio is way above other automakers, so is its expected growth rate much higher. Further, Tesla’s cost of capital is well below its return on invested capital, and its net margins are already very impressive (much better than GM and Ford) and expected to keep improving as economies of scale grow for Tesla.For a little more perspective, the 33 Wall Street analysts covering the shares have an aggregate “Buy” rating, and many of them have price targets significantly higher than the current share price (which is down over 70% in the last year).Seeking AlphaIn our view, if Tesla continues on its current growth trajectory (a very big “if”) the shares can easily trade dramatically higher, as earnings are set to grow dramatically. And even if the growth rate comes in lower than expected (but still remains relatively high) the shares are still undervalued. From a high level, the market seems overly pessimistic on Tesla relative to its long-term earnings power and value (perhaps a near-term phenomenon related to the woke mob’s increasing contempt for CEO, Elon Musk).Risk Factors:Woke Mob Fury: In case you haven’t noticed, Tesla is a volatile stock that gets a lot of media attention, particularly from the environmentally-focused woke mob. As alluded to earlier, the woke mob created significant political pressure that led to the emissions credits and other government-sponsored incentives that have helped Tesla become the large company it is today. However, the woke mob’s opinion of Tesla is changing rapidly.For starters, Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s recent purchase of Twitter (a major source for information distribution) has upset many from a political standpoint because they preferred the views of prior Twitter leadership. This has created significant negative media attention for Musk and for Tesla. For example, according to this NBC News article:“Elon Musk’s uneasy relationship with the left explodes over Twitter takeover… Musk has helped expand America's use of electric vehicles. The left has found a lot of other things to dislike about him.”Further, Musk's recent sanctioning of the Twitter Files has increased the heat on him and his companies.Related, Tesla continues to receive low ESG (Environmental, Social and corporate Governance) ratings, while large oil and gas companies are increasingly receiving better ratings. For example, see: How Does Tesla Get A Worse ESG Score Than 2 Oil Companies?TwitterHowever, given the momentum of EV adoption, we expect negative sentiment to create more short-term pressure than long-term pressure. Further still, as constituents work to increase the use of alternative energy sources in the grid, this will decrease the fossil fuel footprint of electric vehicles (although fossil fuels will likely remain the major energy source for decades to come).Key-Man Risk: CEO Elon Musk splits his time between Tesla, Twitter, SpaceX and The Boring Company. This creates significant demands on his time and could detract from performance (although Musk is reported to be searching for a new Twitter CEO). Further still, Musk owns a significant percentage of Tesla’s shares, which he has recently reduced to fund his Twitter acquisition. Musk sales can negatively impact the share price.Competition: Traditional automakers are shifting heavily towards EV production which creates increased competition for Tesla. This could cause Tesla’s growth rate to slow. Some pundits argue that Tesla’s valuation multiple should be more in-line with traditional automakers, despite Tesla’s higher growth rate, higher margins and more expansive innovation.Battery Prices: According to some, battery and solar panel prices will decline faster than Tesla can reduce costs, resulting in little to no profit in this areas.EV Adoption: The magnitude of EV adoption may not be as great as expected. Some drivers may simply prefer to stick with their gas powered vehicles.Regulatory Risks: Tesla has historically relied heavily on subsidies and incentives. This may make future growth more challenging. Further, some states are requiring car makes and dealers to be separate, which could create legal challenges for Tesla.Macro Headwinds: Macroeconomic headwinds, as described earlier, are a significant risk factor for Tesla. Interest rates are higher, economic growth is slowing and the economy is expected to enter an ugly recession. This could dramatically slow growth, although stock prices generally recover faster than the economy.Key Takeaways and Conclusions:Tesla is profitable, growing rapidly and significantly undervalued. However, that doesn’t mean the shares won’t keep falling (the woke mob is angry, and this is bad for public perception). Further, the indiscriminate growth stock selloff continues, especially with recession looming and no “fed put” in sight.However, Tesla has the fundamental growth characteristics that Future Fund likes (it’s ranked #1 in that fund). It also ranks above the 90th percentile (a good thing) in our fundamental growth score table above. Further still, Tesla apparently has the long-term rainmaker characteristics that ARK Innovation ETF likes (it’s ranked #3 in that fund).If you are a low-risk, income-focused investor, stay the heck away from Tesla! But if you are a disciplined long-term growth investor, Tesla is increasingly attractive and worth considering for a spot in your prudently-diversified long-term portfolio. Although volatile, Tesla's long-term upside is very real.This article is written by Blue Harbinger for reference only.

The firm also said Nvidia was one of its top picks thanks to its strength in artificial intelligence, computing, and data centers. Better, the firm now has an outperform rating on the stock, with a $210 price target. Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar also sees a near-term turnaround for Nvidia and has an overweight rating on the stock.

But it’s still a high-quality name to count on.Better, it’s also getting a jump on the Industrial Omniverse, which is already being used by major companies, like Lowe’s (NYSE:LOW), BMW(OTCMKTS:BMWYY), Siemens(OTCMKTS:SIEGY), and Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT).Analysts, like Credit Suisse’s Chris Casso, say there’s been enough bad news for semiconductors to lower the risk of investing. The firm also said Nvidia was one of its top picks thanks to its strength in artificial intelligence, computing, and data centers. Better, the firm now has an outperform rating on the stock, with a $210 price target. Piper Sandler analyst Harsh Kumar also sees a near-term turnaround for Nvidia and has an overweight rating on the stock. For me, from a current price of $160.38, I’d like to see the stock run back to $195 by the first half of the New Year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":82,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9940285629,"gmtCreate":1677969348062,"gmtModify":1677969352374,"author":{"id":"3572830110372716","authorId":"3572830110372716","name":"KCtan1688","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb264e77c49fffb1d26a89a47dbc0250","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572830110372716","authorIdStr":"3572830110372716"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":19,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9940285629","repostId":"2316492950","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2316492950","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1677987004,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2316492950?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-05 11:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Want $1 Million in Retirement?

With the appropriate strategy, allocation, and investing time horizon, this isn&#39;t an impossible goal by any means. As you diversify your basket of stocks to work toward this achievement, it&#39;s important to select quality businesses across a wide variety of sectors with multiple catalysts to sustain continued returns over a period of years.</p><p>For example, if you were to invest $200,000 in the stock market right now, promising companies with innovative, industry-leading businesses ripe for future growth could foreseeably compound that investment by 5 times or more in the next decade. With that said, here are two such stocks that could help you build out your retirement plan.</p><h2>1. Upstart</h2><p><b>Upstart</b> is dealing with extremely choppy market waters right now; however, looking beyond these events to the company&#39;s long-term prospects, an altogether brighter picture forms. To understand why, one has to take a deeper look into the inner workings of Upstart and its business, which is driven by artificial intelligence and machine learning. The company operates a lending marketplace that revolves around its innovative technology platform, which leverages more than 1,600 data points to assess the creditworthiness of any given consumer. In other words, it doesn&#39;t just the FICO score but atypical factors like education and income to help determine this.</p><p>By using a far broader range of factors to determine whether an applicant ought to be approved for a loan, as well as the platform&#39;s predictive capabilities that calibrate to the economic environment to assess the likelihood of that applicant to default, Upstart has not only been able to democratize the long-stale lending arena but also lower risk for institutional partners with more inclusive and real-time data.</p><p>Moreover, because Upstart&#39;s platform is constantly learning, this not only enables it to adjust to the most current economic conditions, but this also means that more of the company&#39;s loan applications are being handled on a fully automated basis.</p><p>In Upstart&#39;s full-year 2022 earnings report, management said that 82% of all loan applications on the platform were fully automated -- the highest level of automation its model has reached in the history of the company. Moreover, 88% of all small-dollar loans are now automated. On top of that, as of the end of 2022, Upstart&#39;s model had learned more in the prior seven months than it had in the entire 30 months before that.</p><p>During 2022, Upstart&#39;s number of bank and credit union partners soared 120% from 2021, and its network of auto dealers jumped more than 90% year over year. Bear in mind, the auto lending market alone represents a near $800 billion opportunity, and as of the end of 2022, the company had the second-fastest-growing auto retail software in the country.</p><p>As Upstart&#39;s platform is constantly learning, a challenging economic environment is inevitably going to mean that it approves fewer loans than it would in a situation where the risk of default is lower, but this would also indicate the exact opposite would happen in a more buoyant economic landscape. At the same time, the combination of institutional partners funding far fewer loans right now and a drop in consumers applying for loans has contributed to the declines in Upstart&#39;s top and bottom lines recently. While investors will need to continue watching these factors closely in the quarters ahead, it&#39;s important to differentiate broader economic headwinds from headwinds tied directly to Upstart&#39;s business.</p><p>The fact that the company is expanding market share, boosting platform automation, and rapidly growing its partner network even in a decidedly bleak lending environment is notable, and could prime the business for a relatively rapid upward trajectory once the economic environment improves and interest rates come down. Even a conservative position in this top growth stock could yield tremendous results over the next five to 10 years when paired with a wide selection of investments in a buy-and-hold investment portfolio. That potential may be too intriguing for some investors to overlook while the stock&#39;s currently trading down.</p><h2>2. Teladoc</h2><p><b>Teladoc</b> investors -- and I am one of them -- have faced more than their fair share of volatile market days over the past year. While shares of this healthcare stock are still down 64% from 12 months ago, they&#39;ve risen roughly 15% since the start of 2023. The market has been far less kind toward unprofitable, growth-oriented businesses in the current economic environment, and Teladoc currently fits squarely into both categories.</p><p>The full 2022 year saw Teladoc achieve some notable goals, while falling short on other fronts. Revenue totaled $2.4 billion for the 12-month period, an 18% increase from 2021. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) was down year over year, but still hit $247 million. Teladoc also continues to see rapid adoption across a wide range of its healthcare services, with its teletherapy arm BetterHelp alone posting revenue growth of 29% year over year in the final quarter of 2022.</p><p>Teladoc reported a third impairment charge in Q4 of 2022 after having significantly shaved its net losses in the prior quarter. Specifically, it ended the 12-month period with a net loss of $13.7 billion, almost entirely due to impairment charges related to writing down the value of its 2020 Livongo acquisition. Here&#39;s the thing, though: While this loss is unpleasant to look at as an investor, these were non-cash impairment charges. In other words, paper-only net losses, which are not the same as actual operational losses.</p><p>Even though Teladoc overpaid for that acquisition, its contribution to its overall mission of disrupting the still underserved chronic care solutions market remains a notable green flag for the long-term future of the integration of these two businesses. CEO Jason Gorevic noted the following about its chronic care segment and broader platform expansion on the company&#39;s 2022 earnings call:</p><blockquote>Access to our platform is available to over 80 million individuals in the U.S. today, primarily through our relationships with employers and health plans. Over 50% of that population has access to more than one of our products. And when I look at our suite of chronic care solutions, 30% of enrollees are now utilizing more than one chronic care product. Our BetterHelp offering provided over 1 million individuals with access to mental healthcare over the past year, many of whom are unlikely to have received any care at all, if not for our services.</blockquote><blockquote>Our platform enabled over 22 million visits across specialties last year and over 0.5 billion digital health interactions with an unmatched consumer experience and a net promoter score over 60. That breadth and scale is unrivaled in the industry and gives us a strong foundation on which to expand.</blockquote><p>Teladoc remains the premier telehealth platform in the U.S., and the increasing diversity and adoption of its offerings bode well for its ability to continue expanding its market share in the years ahead. Management has been clear that moving back to profitability is a key goal for the future. The investments Teladoc is making now could yield robust returns for the company and its shareholders in the years ahead. As such, given Teladoc&#39;s long trajectory for growth, forward-thinking investors may find any dips in the stock to be too good to pass up.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Want $1 Million in Retirement?

The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists expects a 0.4% advance in the core measure, which excludes food and fuel and better reflects underlying inflation.Those monthly advances are seen slowing the deceleration in annual inflation that remains well north of the Fed’s goal. In addition, Friday’s data will underscore a fully engaged American consumer, with economists anticipating the sharpest advance in nominal spending on goods and services since October 2021.This week’s report is also projected to show the largest increase in personal income in 1 1/2 years, fueled both by a resilient job market and a large upward cost-of-living adjustment for Social Security recipients.In sum, the income and spending data are expected to illustrate the challenge confronting a Fed in the midst of its most aggressive policy tightening campaign in a generation. The report follows figures this past week revealing a spike in retail sales and hotter-than-anticipated consumer and producer price data.What Bloomberg Economics Says:“It’s stunning that the decline in year-over-year inflation has stalled completely, given the favorable base effects and supply environment. That means it won’t take much for new inflation peaks to arise.”—Anna Wong, Eliza Winger and Stuart Paul. For full analysisInvestors have been upping their bets on how far the Fed will raise rates this tightening cycle. They now see the federal funds rate climbing to 5.3% in July, according to interest-rate futures. That compares with a perceived peak rate of 4.9% just two weeks ago.Minutes from the Fed’s latest policy meeting, at which the central bank raised its benchmark rate by 25 basis points, will also be released on Wednesday. The readout may help shed light on the appetite for a bigger increase when policymakers convene again in March after recent comments from some officials suggested as much.Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester said this week that she had seen a “compelling economic case” for rolling out another 50 basis-point hike earlier this month, while the St. Louis Fed’s James Bullard said he wouldn’t rule out supporting such an increase in March.January new- and existing-home sales, along with the second estimate of fourth-quarter gross domestic product, are among other US data releases this week.Elsewhere, in North America, Canada’s January inflation data will inform trader bets on the future path of rates after the Bank of Canada declared a conditional pause to hikes, only to see the labor market tighten further.Meanwhile testimony by Japan’s next central-bank chief, a Group of 20 meeting of finance ministers, and rate increases in New Zealand and Israel, are among other highlights of the week ahead.AsiaIn a big week for central banking in Asia-Pacific, investors will get their first detailed look into Kazuo Ueda’s policy views on Friday during the first parliamentary hearings for the nominee to become Bank of Japan governor.That’ll follow another expected rate hike from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand as it continues to battle inflation in excess of 7%.The Bank of Korea is predicted to pause amid signs of strain in its economy, though another hike can’t be ruled out given inflation remains above 5%.Minutes from the most recent Reserve Bank of Australia meeting are likely to give more insight into the board’s thinking on further rate hikes as Governor Philip Lowe battles to fight off criticism over his leadership.Ahead of the weekend, Japanese inflation figures are expected to show there’s still plenty of heat in prices for the new BOJ governor to consider.And in India, Group of 20 finance chiefs will meet later in the week to discuss the world economy in their first such gathering of the year.Europe, Middle East, AfricaEuro-region data highlights include the flash survey readings from purchasing managers for February, providing insights into how well the economy is holding up after unexpectedly growing in the fourth quarter. That’s scheduled for Tuesday.The final reading of euro-zone inflation, due on Thursday, will take on greater significance than usual after delayed German data was omitted from the first estimate. Economists anticipate a small upward revision.In Germany itself, the Ifo index of business sentiment on Wednesday will signal how Europe’s biggest economy is weathering the energy crisis. Economists forecast improvements on all key measures.In the UK, where inflation slowed more than expected last month, investors will watch for analysis of what that means for policy from Bank of England officials. Catherine Mann and Silvana Tenreyro are both scheduled to make appearances.Over in the Nordic region, on Monday the Riksbank will release minutes of its inaugural meeting of 2023. That decision, which featured a half-point rate increase, a pledge to sell bonds, and a pivot toward seeking a stronger krona, was the first for new Swedish Governor Erik Thedeen.Looking south, Israel’s central bank will likely deliver the smallest rate hike of its monetary tightening cycle by lifting its benchmark a quarter percentage point to 4% on Monday. But a surprise pickup in inflation, alongside political turbulence, raise the risk that policymakers could opt for a more aggressive move.South African Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana will present his annual budget on Wednesday. He’s expected to announce how much of state power utility Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd.’s 400 billion-rand ($22 billion) debt will be taken over by the government.Nigerian data on Wednesday may show growth slowed to 1.9% in the fourth quarter from 2.3% in the prior three-month period, according to economist estimates. That’s as cash shortages, rising debt-servicing costs, deteriorating fiscal balances, a plunging naira and election jitters curtail spending and investment.Turkey’s central bank is set to cut rates to less than 9%, as pledged by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan earlier this month. The country’s devastating earthquakes will also spur officials to carry out more easing on Thursday, economists say.Latin AmericaIn Mexico, the mid-month consumer price report should underscore the obvious: inflation is elevated, well over target and sticky as the headline rate hovers near 7.8% while core readings continue to run above 8%.The minutes of Banxico’s Feb. 9 meeting may offer some guidance on what policymakers see as a possible terminal rate from the current 11% and how long they might decide to keep it there.December GDP-proxy data from Argentina and Mexico will probably show that both economies are cooling rapidly. Peru’s fourth-quarter output report is also predicted to reveal a drop in momentum, capturing the December onset of political turmoil and nationwide unrest set off by President Pedro Castillo’s ouster.Brazil’s central bank posts its market expectations survey at mid-week with the end of the Carnival holiday. Both President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and central bank chief Roberto Campos Neto gave high-profile interviews that may help damp tensions over monetary policy that are at least partly to blame for rising inflation expectations.Mid-month consumer price data posted Friday may show inflation is hung up near the 5.79% currently forecast for year-end 2023 and precisely where it finished 2022.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":172,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9956706315,"gmtCreate":1674181852837,"gmtModify":1676538928212,"author":{"id":"3572830110372716","authorId":"3572830110372716","name":"KCtan1688","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb264e77c49fffb1d26a89a47dbc0250","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572830110372716","authorIdStr":"3572830110372716"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":16,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9956706315","repostId":"1150575923","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1150575923","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1674177914,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1150575923?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-01-20 09:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US Market Watchers Are Fretting Over the Biggest January Options Expiry in a Decade","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1150575923","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Getting out of market around OpEx has been a winning tradeDemand for hedge creeps up with skew hitti","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Getting out of market around OpEx has been a winning trade</li><li>Demand for hedge creeps up with skew hitting three-month high</li></ul><p>Market watchers on Wall Street attribute this week’s stock selloff to the insidious threat of recession.

That’s a departure from most of 2022, when skew kept falling in part because investors of all stripes had slashed their equity exposure during the bear run.The spike in skew may be a sign that professional speculators are starting to add risky bets, a move that usually requires more hedging, according to Royer at Citadel.“Going into this year, there certainly has been a little bit more of a reset in terms of people buying protection again,” she said. “There’s a little ratcheting up in net gross exposures that might be contributing to that. When insurance gets cheaper, you’re more apt to use the product.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":95,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9957010021,"gmtCreate":1676758090664,"gmtModify":1676758094853,"author":{"id":"3572830110372716","authorId":"3572830110372716","name":"KCtan1688","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb264e77c49fffb1d26a89a47dbc0250","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572830110372716","authorIdStr":"3572830110372716"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":17,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9957010021","repostId":"1100725481","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1100725481","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1676779312,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1100725481?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-02-19 12:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Reminder: U.S. Market Will Be Closed for Washington's Birthday on Monday, Feb. 20, 2023","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1100725481","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Washington's Birthday (Presidents Day) is around the corner.

But occasionally, the grandmaster still manages to make a move that surprises me such as his recent position in TaiwanSemiconductor (NYSE:TSM). To wit, the recent 13F disclosure showed that Buffett opened a sizable position in TSM for the Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) (BRK.B) equity portfolio. As you can see from the following chart, his BRK portfolio now holds more than 60.06M shares of TSM with a total worth of over $4.11B. The TSM position is currently the 10thlargest position in the BRK portfolio.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/79878ff126c58641fbbd5a5aa3c0b334\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"363\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Source: Dataroma.com</span></p><p>The surprise comes in several ways. And the more obvious ways (like Buffett’s allergy to tech businesses) have already been discussed by several other SA authors and I won’t further add to it anymore. Here, I want to explore an angle that is less discussed so far. I want to explain why it feels more puzzling to me, that is besides the fact that Buffett added another tech name to his BRK portfolio, when the TSM position is viewed under the context of his largest holding, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). There are certainly positives with TSM, that is, even when compared to AAPL. As we will detail in the next section, it is a high-quality stock in its own right. It boasts a large technological lead in its space and an R&amp;D yield that is even better than AAPL.</p><p>However, I see these positives easily overshadowed by the developing tension between them and also the ongoing deglobalization mega-trend. According to a recentnews report, TSM’s scheduled price raises in 2023 were rejected by AAPL, by far its largest customer. AAPL currently outsources almost all of its processor manufacturing to factories in Taiwan. However, with the U.S. strategic initiatives to push to develop domestic semiconductor foundry capabilities, AAPL (and other U.S. chip players such Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and NVIDIA (NVDA) too) would be very likely to diversify its chip manufacturing away from TSM. And the damage will be mutual but asymmetric. It is easier for AAPL to find other foundry services to manufacture its chips, and a lot harder for TSM to find such large clients as AAPL.</p><p>The full impact of such tension and diversification will take time to fully manifest. And TSM’s role as the dominating high-end chipmaker in the world won’t change in the near term. But I see these recent events (such as AAPL’s rejection of the price raises and the recent passing of the CHIPS act) as the turning point. Taking a broader view, I see these events as a logical step, or even an inevitable step, in the deglobalization process – a mega force that has been unfolding for over 10 years as shown in the chart below. The chart illustrates how globalization, measured as the percentage of total exports out of global GDP, has been in decline since its peak in 2008. The percentage has declined from 61% in 2008 to the to 51.6% in 2020. And since 2020, the China-U.S. trade tension, the COVID, and the Russian/Ukraine war have further quickened its pace.</p><p>In the remainder of this article, I will further analyze the details of these above considerations in more detail.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/df9d37af226f63d9047697f699ffa010\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"527\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Source: The World Bank</span></p><h2>TSM’s valuation advantage</h2><p>First, as mentioned above, there are definitely many positives with TSM even when compared to AAPL. And valuation is an obvious place to start with. As a global leader in the foundry space, it is for sale at a fraction of the overall market and AAPL’s valuation as seen in the chart below.</p><p>To cite a few examples, TSM’s FY1 PE of 12.8x is almost only 1/2 of AAPL’s 24.2x. Its TTM PE of 13.08x is also about only 1/2 of AAPL’s 24.2x. Considering that these stocks have different leverages and enterprise values (“EV”), let&#39;s compare their multiples with leverages adjusted too. As you can see, TSM’s discount is even more dramatic in terms of EV/EBITDA multiples. TSM’s FW EV/EBITDA ratio sits at 7.64x only, less than ½ of AAPL’s 18.18x.</p><p>Yes, as you will see in the next section, TSM is a high-quality stock in its own right. It boasts a large technological lead in its space, further bolstered by its consistent R&amp;D investments and also superb R&amp;D yield that even surpasses AAPL.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cd9101b641f06753dca5fee60c5e18ff\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"496\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Source: Seeking Alpha data</span></p><h2>TSM’s more consistent and aggressive R&amp;D</h2><p>As detailed in our earlier articles:</p><blockquote><i>We do not invest in a given tech stock because we have high confidence in a certain product that they are developing in the pipeline. Instead, we feel more comfortable betting on A) the recurring resources available to fund new R&amp;D efforts sustainably, and B) the overall efficiency of the R&amp;D PROCESS. So correspondingly, in the long run, I feel comfortable as long as a tech business can A) sustainably support new R&amp;D expenditures, and B) has demonstrated a consistent R&amp;D yield. I do not feel the need to particularly bet on any one of the new products to be a hit (or a complete failure).</i></blockquote><p>And both TSM and AAPL can sustainably fund their new R&amp;D efforts with no problem in the long term, as illustrated in the next chart. It shows their R&amp;D expenses over the past 10 years as a percentage of their total sales. A few key observations:</p><ul><li>TSM has been investing very consistently in R&amp;D efforts, on average about 8.0% of its total sales.</li><li>AAPL&#39;s R&amp;D expenses have been climbing since Tim Cook took over the company from Jobs. Jobs believed that innovation is not about money and it &#34;has nothing to do with how much R&amp;D money” a business put in. Then Cook gradually increased the R&amp;D investments to the current level of around 6.1% since 2018.</li><li>So even at AAPL’s current R&amp;D level, TSM is still outspending AAPL by about 200 basis points. And also note TSM’s consistency: the R&amp;D expenses only fluctuated in a very narrow range over the past 10 years.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/68ba62925d409c0646d95b62223ef4b9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"355\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Source: Author</span></p><p>More impressively, TSM’s yield on the R&amp;D investment is also superior to AAPL, which is already at a remarkable level by itself as shown in the next chart. The chart used Buffett’s $1 test on R&amp;D expenses. More specifically, the chart quantifies the R&amp;D yield by taking the ratio between profit and R&amp;D expenditures. Thus, the results show how many dollars of profit are generated per $1 of R&amp;D expenses. In particular, in this chart, my analysis used the operating cash flow (“OPC”) as the profit and also took a 3-year moving average on the OPC to approximate a 3-year R&amp;D cycle. And the key observations are:</p><ul><li>The R&amp;D yield is also consistent for TSM, with an average of $6.75 since 2014.</li><li>AAPL’s picture is a bit more colorful. Its R&amp;D yield has been astronomical ($10+ in 2013 and $8+ in 2014 and 2015) thanks to its almost monopoly status in key market segments in those days. Its R&amp;D yield has gradually declined to around ~$4.0 in recent years. And its long-term average was about $5.3.</li><li>To provide a broader view, the FAAMG group features an average R&amp;D yield of ~$2.5 in recent years.</li><li>Thus, both AAPL and TSM boast superb R&amp;D yields even when compared to the overachievers in the FAAMG pack, and TSM’s yield is even higher than AAPL by a large gap.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/72e8c1b1427c0babf39d38ec60269d28\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"340\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Source: Author based on Seeking Alpha data</span></p><h2>Both enjoy high ROCE too, but AAPL is in its own category</h2><p>To me, ROCE (return on capital employed) is the most fundamental profitability metric as detailed in my blog article (with differences compared to ROE and Q&amp;A on the most frequently received questions from our readers). One key reason for its fundamental importance is that the long-term growth rate is governed by ROCE and reinvestment rate (“RR”) in the following simple way:</p><p>Long-Term Growth Rate = ROCE * RR</p><p>The ROCE of TSM and AAPL are shown below for the past 10 years. As you can see, TSM has been maintaining a high ROCE with remarkable consistency here. Its average ROCE has been about 42%. And I cannot overemphasize the consistency – which is a strong indicator of its stable moat. However, AAPL certainly has the upper hand here. Its ROCE is simply a category of its own. It has been hovering around an average of 125% since 2018 after its “declines” from an astronomical (and also unsustainable level in my view) of 200%+ earlier in the decade.</p><p>In terms of RR, both companies have sustainable capital allocation flexibility thanks to their strong cash generation. All told, my analysis shows that TSM has been maintaining an RR in the range between 7.5% to 10% in recent years, and AAPL about 5% to 7.5%.</p><p>So even without the trade tensions and deglobalization process aforementioned, I would project AAPL to have a much better perpetual growth curve ahead than TSM. I projected AAPL’s LT growth rate to be up to 10% (7.5% RR * 125% ROCE ~ 10% annual growth rate). And TSM’s growth rate, on the hand, would be limited to be in the mid-single digit range (say 4% = 10% RR * 42% ROCE).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/98b3ddd710705df7ba8e09cb93f9b81a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"334\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Source: Author based on Seeking Alpha data</span></p><h2>Risks and final thought</h2><p>But to reiterate, I do see the developing tension between TSM and AAPL and the deglobalization process as the overarching forces here. And I only see the differences in terms of valuation, R&amp;D yields, and profitability to be secondary forces in the years to come. The deglobalization mega-trend has been unfolding since 2008. And I see a series of recent events (such as AAPL’s rejection of TSM’s price raises, the CHIPS act, the ongoing U.S.-China trade frictions, and also the Russian/Ukraine war) to further exacerbate and accelerate the trend.

But occasionally, the grandmaster still manages to make a move that surprises me such as his recent position in TaiwanSemiconductor (NYSE:TSM). To wit, the recent 13F disclosure showed that Buffett opened a sizable position in TSM for the Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) (BRK.B) equity portfolio. As you can see from the following chart, his BRK portfolio now holds more than 60.06M shares of TSM with a total worth of over $4.11B. The TSM position is currently the 10thlargest position in the BRK portfolio.Source: Dataroma.comThe surprise comes in several ways. And the more obvious ways (like Buffett’s allergy to tech businesses) have already been discussed by several other SA authors and I won’t further add to it anymore. Here, I want to explore an angle that is less discussed so far. I want to explain why it feels more puzzling to me, that is besides the fact that Buffett added another tech name to his BRK portfolio, when the TSM position is viewed under the context of his largest holding, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). There are certainly positives with TSM, that is, even when compared to AAPL. As we will detail in the next section, it is a high-quality stock in its own right. It boasts a large technological lead in its space and an R&D yield that is even better than AAPL.However, I see these positives easily overshadowed by the developing tension between them and also the ongoing deglobalization mega-trend. According to a recentnews report, TSM’s scheduled price raises in 2023 were rejected by AAPL, by far its largest customer. AAPL currently outsources almost all of its processor manufacturing to factories in Taiwan. However, with the U.S. strategic initiatives to push to develop domestic semiconductor foundry capabilities, AAPL (and other U.S. chip players such Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and NVIDIA (NVDA) too) would be very likely to diversify its chip manufacturing away from TSM. And the damage will be mutual but asymmetric. It is easier for AAPL to find other foundry services to manufacture its chips, and a lot harder for TSM to find such large clients as AAPL.The full impact of such tension and diversification will take time to fully manifest. And TSM’s role as the dominating high-end chipmaker in the world won’t change in the near term. But I see these recent events (such as AAPL’s rejection of the price raises and the recent passing of the CHIPS act) as the turning point. Taking a broader view, I see these events as a logical step, or even an inevitable step, in the deglobalization process – a mega force that has been unfolding for over 10 years as shown in the chart below. The chart illustrates how globalization, measured as the percentage of total exports out of global GDP, has been in decline since its peak in 2008. The percentage has declined from 61% in 2008 to the to 51.6% in 2020. And since 2020, the China-U.S. trade tension, the COVID, and the Russian/Ukraine war have further quickened its pace.In the remainder of this article, I will further analyze the details of these above considerations in more detail.Source: The World BankTSM’s valuation advantageFirst, as mentioned above, there are definitely many positives with TSM even when compared to AAPL. And valuation is an obvious place to start with. As a global leader in the foundry space, it is for sale at a fraction of the overall market and AAPL’s valuation as seen in the chart below.To cite a few examples, TSM’s FY1 PE of 12.8x is almost only 1/2 of AAPL’s 24.2x. Its TTM PE of 13.08x is also about only 1/2 of AAPL’s 24.2x. Considering that these stocks have different leverages and enterprise values (“EV”), let's compare their multiples with leverages adjusted too. As you can see, TSM’s discount is even more dramatic in terms of EV/EBITDA multiples. TSM’s FW EV/EBITDA ratio sits at 7.64x only, less than ½ of AAPL’s 18.18x.Yes, as you will see in the next section, TSM is a high-quality stock in its own right. It boasts a large technological lead in its space, further bolstered by its consistent R&D investments and also superb R&D yield that even surpasses AAPL.Source: Seeking Alpha dataTSM’s more consistent and aggressive R&DAs detailed in our earlier articles:We do not invest in a given tech stock because we have high confidence in a certain product that they are developing in the pipeline. Instead, we feel more comfortable betting on A) the recurring resources available to fund new R&D efforts sustainably, and B) the overall efficiency of the R&D PROCESS. So correspondingly, in the long run, I feel comfortable as long as a tech business can A) sustainably support new R&D expenditures, and B) has demonstrated a consistent R&D yield. I do not feel the need to particularly bet on any one of the new products to be a hit (or a complete failure).And both TSM and AAPL can sustainably fund their new R&D efforts with no problem in the long term, as illustrated in the next chart. It shows their R&D expenses over the past 10 years as a percentage of their total sales. A few key observations:TSM has been investing very consistently in R&D efforts, on average about 8.0% of its total sales.AAPL's R&D expenses have been climbing since Tim Cook took over the company from Jobs. Jobs believed that innovation is not about money and it \"has nothing to do with how much R&D money” a business put in. Then Cook gradually increased the R&D investments to the current level of around 6.1% since 2018.So even at AAPL’s current R&D level, TSM is still outspending AAPL by about 200 basis points. And also note TSM’s consistency: the R&D expenses only fluctuated in a very narrow range over the past 10 years.Source: AuthorMore impressively, TSM’s yield on the R&D investment is also superior to AAPL, which is already at a remarkable level by itself as shown in the next chart. The chart used Buffett’s $1 test on R&D expenses. More specifically, the chart quantifies the R&D yield by taking the ratio between profit and R&D expenditures. Thus, the results show how many dollars of profit are generated per $1 of R&D expenses. In particular, in this chart, my analysis used the operating cash flow (“OPC”) as the profit and also took a 3-year moving average on the OPC to approximate a 3-year R&D cycle. And the key observations are:The R&D yield is also consistent for TSM, with an average of $6.75 since 2014.AAPL’s picture is a bit more colorful. Its R&D yield has been astronomical ($10+ in 2013 and $8+ in 2014 and 2015) thanks to its almost monopoly status in key market segments in those days. Its R&D yield has gradually declined to around ~$4.0 in recent years. And its long-term average was about $5.3.To provide a broader view, the FAAMG group features an average R&D yield of ~$2.5 in recent years.Thus, both AAPL and TSM boast superb R&D yields even when compared to the overachievers in the FAAMG pack, and TSM’s yield is even higher than AAPL by a large gap.Source: Author based on Seeking Alpha dataBoth enjoy high ROCE too, but AAPL is in its own categoryTo me, ROCE (return on capital employed) is the most fundamental profitability metric as detailed in my blog article (with differences compared to ROE and Q&A on the most frequently received questions from our readers). One key reason for its fundamental importance is that the long-term growth rate is governed by ROCE and reinvestment rate (“RR”) in the following simple way:Long-Term Growth Rate = ROCE * RRThe ROCE of TSM and AAPL are shown below for the past 10 years. As you can see, TSM has been maintaining a high ROCE with remarkable consistency here. Its average ROCE has been about 42%. And I cannot overemphasize the consistency – which is a strong indicator of its stable moat. However, AAPL certainly has the upper hand here. Its ROCE is simply a category of its own. It has been hovering around an average of 125% since 2018 after its “declines” from an astronomical (and also unsustainable level in my view) of 200%+ earlier in the decade.In terms of RR, both companies have sustainable capital allocation flexibility thanks to their strong cash generation. All told, my analysis shows that TSM has been maintaining an RR in the range between 7.5% to 10% in recent years, and AAPL about 5% to 7.5%.So even without the trade tensions and deglobalization process aforementioned, I would project AAPL to have a much better perpetual growth curve ahead than TSM. I projected AAPL’s LT growth rate to be up to 10% (7.5% RR * 125% ROCE ~ 10% annual growth rate). And TSM’s growth rate, on the hand, would be limited to be in the mid-single digit range (say 4% = 10% RR * 42% ROCE).Source: Author based on Seeking Alpha dataRisks and final thoughtBut to reiterate, I do see the developing tension between TSM and AAPL and the deglobalization process as the overarching forces here. And I only see the differences in terms of valuation, R&D yields, and profitability to be secondary forces in the years to come. The deglobalization mega-trend has been unfolding since 2008. And I see a series of recent events (such as AAPL’s rejection of TSM’s price raises, the CHIPS act, the ongoing U.S.-China trade frictions, and also the Russian/Ukraine war) to further exacerbate and accelerate the trend. Under such a mega-trend, I see it as inevitable that key chip clients (such as AAPL, AMD, and NVDA) diversify their manufacturing needs away from TSM.And the bottom line is that damage will be mutual but asymmetric the way I see things. It is easier for AAPL to find replacement foundry services but a lot harder for TSM to find replacement clients at the scale of AAPL.This article is written by Envision Research for reference only.

The Dow fell for a fifth straight week.On Friday, declines in shares of megacap growth companies such as Apple Inc    and Tesla Inc    dragged on the S&P 500. Apple fell 2.4% while Tesla dropped 5.1%.Meta Platforms    shares fell 3.9% as Russia opened a criminal case against the Facebook parent after the social network changed its hate speech rules to allow users to call for \"death to the Russian invaders\" in the context of the war with Ukraine.President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Ukraine had reached a \"strategic turning point\" in the conflict with Russia, but Russian forces bombarded cities across the country and appeared to be regrouping for a possible assault on the capital Kyiv.Regarding developments in the Ukraine crisis, “you just don’t know what you are going to see so there’s no reason to go into the weekend with a risk-on attitude,” said Peter Tuz, president of Chase Investment Counsel in Charlottesville, Virginia.Growth stocks also came under pressure as the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield    hovered near 2%.Stocks have struggled this year as concerns about the Russia-Ukraine crisis have deepened a sell-off initially fueled by worries over higher bond yields as the Fed is expected to tighten monetary policy this year to fight inflation. The S&P 500 is down 11.8% in 2022.The U.S. central bank is expected to raise rates at its March 15-16 meeting.A survey showed U.S. consumer sentiment fell more than expected in early March as gasoline prices surged to a record high in the aftermath of Russia's war against Ukraine.Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 2.83-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 2.54-to-1 ratio favored decliners.The S&P 500 posted 13 new 52-week highs and 16 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 36 new highs and 274 new lows.About 13 billion shares changed hands in U.S. exchanges, compared with the 13.6 billion daily average over the last 20 sessions.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":141,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9957499315,"gmtCreate":1677467422438,"gmtModify":1677467426516,"author":{"id":"3572830110372716","authorId":"3572830110372716","name":"KCtan1688","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb264e77c49fffb1d26a89a47dbc0250","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572830110372716","authorIdStr":"3572830110372716"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":14,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9957499315","repostId":"2314238672","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2314238672","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1677466852,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2314238672?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-02-27 11:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla’s Analyst Day Is This Week.

With a $30,000 vehicle, Tesla’s line up would cover about 95%.New Street Research analyst Pierre Ferragu and Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi both agree. “The most important issue for Tesla going into its analyst day is the status of its next-gen, lower-cost vehicle platform,” wrote Sacconaghi in a Wednesday report.He says Tesla needs the lower-price EV to meet investors’ lofty growth expectations. “Our research has indicated that EV models that have generally struggled to increase volume beyond the third or fourth year of introduction,” he wrote.The Model 3 made its debut in 2017. The Model Y arrived in 2020.Wall Street expects Tesla to sell more than a million Model Ys in 2023. That would likely make it the best-selling car on the planet, including gasoline powered cars. Growth from there could be hard: Pushing sales of any one model to two million units a year is a very tall order.At the moment, the Toyota Motor (TM) Corolla is the best-selling model in the world, with sale of about 1.1 million in 2022. The Model Y was the fourth-best-selling vehicle with about 760,000 units shipped.Langan, for his part, rates the shares at Hold. His target for the price is $190. Sacconaghi rates shares at Sell, with a target of $150 a share. Ferragu rates shares at Buy and has a $150 price target.Ferragu acknowledges the need for a low-price car and thinks one will be ready by 2025. He also believes that the car could retail for about $25,000 given Tesla’s lead in battery costs and EV manufacturing.He sees a low-price Tesla selling more than a million units a year by 2026. He also believes the Model 3 and Y can both easily sell more than a million units a year. He doesn’t share Sacconaghi’s concerns.In addition to a new car, Ferragu sees good prospects for Tesla’s energy-storage business in 2023. That is another topic that should come up on March 1.“Tesla has been supply constrained in energy storage for as long as we can remember,” wrote Ferragu in a Wednesday report. “And [with] the ramp of the new megapack fab in Lathrop, which quadruples the company’s production capacity, we expect an inflection point in 2023 to 2024.”Megapacks are Tesla’s energy-storage products for utilities. They help power companies make wind and solar generation assets more reliable by storing energy so that it can be released to the grid when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing.He sees energy storage adding 20 cents and 55 cents, respectively, to Tesla’s earnings per share in 2023 and 2024. Earnings at that level would be a pleasant surprise for investors.Wall Street currently projects earnings per share of about $4.10 and $5.60 for 2023 and 2024, respectively. The majority of that comes from Tesla’s car business.Canaccord analyst George Gianarkas thinks Tesla could have a couple of other things in store for investors on March 1. He is on the look out for a stock buyback, as well as new commercial vehicles. Tesla has one commercial product: Its semi truck began shipping in December.Gianarkas rates Tesla Shares Buy. His price target is $275 a share.Cheaper Teslas, new commercial vehicles, new storage businesses, and potentially using capital for buybacks amount to a lot for shareholders to look forward to this coming week.Tesla stock closed down 2.6% at $196.88 on Friday. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite were off 1.1% and 1.7%, respectively.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":419,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9927174229,"gmtCreate":1672440041261,"gmtModify":1676538690895,"author":{"id":"3572830110372716","authorId":"3572830110372716","name":"KCtan1688","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb264e77c49fffb1d26a89a47dbc0250","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572830110372716","authorIdStr":"3572830110372716"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":12,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9927174229","repostId":"2295554929","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2295554929","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1672415137,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2295554929?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-30 23:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla: Buy The Bloodbath","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2295554929","media":"Seekingalpha","summary":"SummaryTesla has seen an accelerating decline in December with the stock losing 42%.Other controversies surrounding Elon Musk have created negative sentiment overhang, resulting in a soaring short int","content":"<html><head></head><body><h3><b>Summary</b></h3><ul><li>Tesla has seen an accelerating decline in December with the stock losing 42%.</li><li>Other controversies surrounding Elon Musk have created negative sentiment overhang, resulting in a soaring short interest for Tesla.</li><li>However, Tesla has a very attractive valuation and risk profile right now.</li></ul><p>A unique buying opportunity has revealed itself for shares of electric vehicle company <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla</a> which experienced an intensifying sell-off in December that is putting Tesla on track to its worst month ever.

Additionally, Tesla&#39;s short interest may remain high in the short term as bears seek to exploit Tesla&#39;s draw-down to the fullest. In the longer term, however, real economic concerns should take precedence for Tesla investors and I definitely see pricing and demand risks here for the electric vehicle sector. EV companies may see compressing vehicle margins as inflation continues to pressure consumers and higher raw material/battery costs represent a challenge as well. Since Tesla has the most mature production footprint in the sector, I believe Tesla is in the best position to deal with such risks.</p><h2>Final thoughts</h2><p>Tesla had a terrible December with the price of the EV firm&#39;s shares dropping 42% so far this month and December 2022 will likely end as the worst month for Tesla&#39;s shares ever. There are reasons for the decline in Tesla&#39;s market cap, but none, I believe, are related to either Tesla&#39;s execution or Tesla&#39;s growth prospects. The fact that Tesla&#39;s short interest has soared in December and short sellers piled on the EV company, resulting in oversold technical sentiment, is actually the precise reason why I like Tesla more than ever.</p><p>The market has become too fearful of Tesla due to a series of unfavorable news, but I believe all of the factors discussed here (Twitter, stock sales, production setbacks) are transitory and Tesla could soon be able to recover from this unprecedented sell-off, especially if the market&#39;s focus returns to Tesla&#39;s improving delivery growth and a reopening Chinese economy. Since the shares have a very attractive valuation and the best risk profile in years, I believe investors should lean into the fear and buy the bloodbath!</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Tesla: Buy The Bloodbath</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\">\nTesla: Buy The Bloodbath\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-12-30 23:45 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4567014-tesla-stock-bloodbath-buy><strong>Seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryTesla has seen an accelerating decline in December with the stock losing 42%.Other controversies surrounding Elon Musk have created negative sentiment overhang, resulting in a soaring short ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4567014-tesla-stock-bloodbath-buy\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4567014-tesla-stock-bloodbath-buy","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2295554929","content_text":"SummaryTesla has seen an accelerating decline in December with the stock losing 42%.Other controversies surrounding Elon Musk have created negative sentiment overhang, resulting in a soaring short interest for Tesla.However, Tesla has a very attractive valuation and risk profile right now.A unique buying opportunity has revealed itself for shares of electric vehicle company Tesla which experienced an intensifying sell-off in December that is putting Tesla on track to its worst month ever.

Since the shares have a very attractive valuation and the best risk profile in years, I believe investors should lean into the fear and buy the bloodbath!","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2632,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9965806011,"gmtCreate":1669930112534,"gmtModify":1676538270660,"author":{"id":"3572830110372716","authorId":"3572830110372716","name":"KCtan1688","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb264e77c49fffb1d26a89a47dbc0250","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572830110372716","authorIdStr":"3572830110372716"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":10,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9965806011","repostId":"1183309348","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1183309348","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1669909628,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1183309348?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-01 23:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Sea Limited: Bears Didn't See This Coming","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1183309348","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryWith its recent momentum surge, SE hit our price target articulated in our pre-earnings updat","content":"<html><head></head><body><h3>Summary</h3><ul><li>With its recent momentum surge, SE hit our price target articulated in our pre-earnings update.

Many of the stocks in the index don&#39;t perform all that well over time. But as the more-successful stocks outperform, they earn an increased weighting in the S&amp;P 500 because of their larger market caps.</p><p>Which stocks in the S&amp;P 500 will work the most for investors throughout this decade? It&#39;s impossible to know for sure. However, I&#39;ll make a prediction: The following three S&amp;P 500 stocks will at least double in seven years.</p><h2>1. Amazon</h2><p>The larger a company grows, the harder it can be to deliver the same rate of expansion. But that doesn&#39;t mean really big companies can&#39;t grow significantly. I think <b>Amazon</b> has proved this point in the past and will continue to do so.</p><p>When asked about Amazon, the first thoughts of many individuals would probably be about the company&#39;s online shopping platform or its Prime Video streaming service. My view is that both could be solid growth drivers over the coming years. But they won&#39;t be the most important factors in enabling the stock to double.</p><p>Instead, that honor belongs to Amazon Web Services (AWS). As much as 95% of worldwide IT spending goes toward on-premises hosting rather than in the cloud. CEO Andy Jassy expects &#34;the equation is going to shift and flip&#34; over the next 10 to 15 years with a lot more spending on cloud hosting versus on-premises hosting. If he&#39;s right (and I think he is), Amazon is a no-brainer stock to buy right now.</p><p>AWS already ranks as the biggest cloud-hosting provider. It&#39;s also Amazon&#39;s most profitable segment. The company&#39;s profits should explode by the end of the decade with the transition to the cloud. My confidence level is pretty high that Amazon&#39;s share price will at least double within seven years or less.</p><h2>2. Digital Realty Trust</h2><p><b>Digital Realty Trust</b> isn&#39;t the household name that Amazon is. However, the company should benefit from the same trend that Amazon will.</p><p>Digital Realty Trust owns more than 300 data centers. The transition to the cloud should be a key growth driver for the company.</p><p>A quick glance at Digital Realty Trust&#39;s top customers reveals a Who&#39;s Who in the technology world. A long list of major cloud providers, software specialists, social media companies, and telecommunications giants use Digital Realty Trust&#39;s data centers.</p><p>If you only look at Digital Realty&#39;s stock performance over the last 10 years, you might doubt that it could double by 2030. But it&#39;s important to consider total returns rather than share-price appreciation alone.</p><p>Digital Realty Trust is a real estate investment trust (REIT) and must return at least 90% of its income to shareholders to avoid paying federal taxes. Its dividend yield tops 4.8%. With that high yield, the stock won&#39;t have to deliver huge gains for Digital Realty Trust to generate total returns of 100% or more over the next seven years.</p><h2>3. Vertex Pharmaceuticals</h2><p>I think that <b>Vertex Pharmaceuticals</b> is another S&amp;P 500 stock with a clear path to doubling or more by 2030. The company already enjoys a monopoly in treating the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis (CF).</p><p>Vertex could increase its market by roughly 50% by securing additional approvals and reimbursement deals for its existing CF drugs and by achieving success with its experimental messenger RNA CF therapy VX-522.</p><p>But Vertex has even greater growth opportunities beyond CF. It hopes to win regulatory approvals for exa-cel, a gene-editing therapy developed with <b>CRISPR Therapeutics</b>, as soon as later this year. Exa-cel could generate peak annual sales of at least $2 billion in treating sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia.</p><p>Non-opioid pain drug VX-548 could also make it to market within the next couple of years.

Many of the stocks in the index don't perform all that well over time. But as the more-successful stocks outperform, they earn an increased weighting in the S&P 500 because of their larger market caps.Which stocks in the S&P 500 will work the most for investors throughout this decade? It's impossible to know for sure. However, I'll make a prediction: The following three S&P 500 stocks will at least double in seven years.1. AmazonThe larger a company grows, the harder it can be to deliver the same rate of expansion. But that doesn't mean really big companies can't grow significantly. I think Amazon has proved this point in the past and will continue to do so.When asked about Amazon, the first thoughts of many individuals would probably be about the company's online shopping platform or its Prime Video streaming service. My view is that both could be solid growth drivers over the coming years. But they won't be the most important factors in enabling the stock to double.Instead, that honor belongs to Amazon Web Services (AWS). As much as 95% of worldwide IT spending goes toward on-premises hosting rather than in the cloud. CEO Andy Jassy expects \"the equation is going to shift and flip\" over the next 10 to 15 years with a lot more spending on cloud hosting versus on-premises hosting. If he's right (and I think he is), Amazon is a no-brainer stock to buy right now.AWS already ranks as the biggest cloud-hosting provider. It's also Amazon's most profitable segment. The company's profits should explode by the end of the decade with the transition to the cloud. My confidence level is pretty high that Amazon's share price will at least double within seven years or less.2. Digital Realty TrustDigital Realty Trust isn't the household name that Amazon is. However, the company should benefit from the same trend that Amazon will.Digital Realty Trust owns more than 300 data centers. The transition to the cloud should be a key growth driver for the company.A quick glance at Digital Realty Trust's top customers reveals a Who's Who in the technology world. A long list of major cloud providers, software specialists, social media companies, and telecommunications giants use Digital Realty Trust's data centers.If you only look at Digital Realty's stock performance over the last 10 years, you might doubt that it could double by 2030. But it's important to consider total returns rather than share-price appreciation alone.Digital Realty Trust is a real estate investment trust (REIT) and must return at least 90% of its income to shareholders to avoid paying federal taxes. Its dividend yield tops 4.8%. With that high yield, the stock won't have to deliver huge gains for Digital Realty Trust to generate total returns of 100% or more over the next seven years.3. Vertex PharmaceuticalsI think that Vertex Pharmaceuticals is another S&P 500 stock with a clear path to doubling or more by 2030. The company already enjoys a monopoly in treating the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis (CF).Vertex could increase its market by roughly 50% by securing additional approvals and reimbursement deals for its existing CF drugs and by achieving success with its experimental messenger RNA CF therapy VX-522.But Vertex has even greater growth opportunities beyond CF. It hopes to win regulatory approvals for exa-cel, a gene-editing therapy developed with CRISPR Therapeutics, as soon as later this year. Exa-cel could generate peak annual sales of at least $2 billion in treating sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia.Non-opioid pain drug VX-548 could also make it to market within the next couple of years. Vertex believes that this therapy has multibillion-dollar potential.The big biotech is also making good progress in its clinical testing of inaxaplin in treating APOL1-mediated kidney disease (AMKD). There are more patients with AMKD than there are CF patients.Vertex could have other major catalysts over the next few years as well, notably from progress with its clinical programs that could hold a cure for type 1 diabetes.Biotech stocks face the risk that their pipeline programs could flop in clinical studies or fail to win regulatory approvals. But my view is that Vertex has enough arrows in its quiver that it will be able to double investors' money within the next seven years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":892,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9940366018,"gmtCreate":1677708550734,"gmtModify":1677708555330,"author":{"id":"3572830110372716","authorId":"3572830110372716","name":"KCtan1688","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb264e77c49fffb1d26a89a47dbc0250","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572830110372716","authorIdStr":"3572830110372716"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":13,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9940366018","repostId":"2316069863","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2316069863","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1677684085,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2316069863?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-01 23:21","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What Is the Best Tech Stock to Buy Now?

However, this is the prime time to look for the best tech stock to buy on the pullbacks. While losses have been considerable this year, it’s not permanent. In fact, I still believe most of these companies will start reporting much better year-on-year figures once the post-covid turbulence is behind us. Therefore, buying the best tech stocks now will give investors an excellent entry point for long-term gains. Here are the top seven picks to look into:</p><table border=\"1\"><tbody><tr><td><b>MSFT</b></td><td>Microsoft</td><td>$249.16</td></tr><tr><td><b>INTC</b></td><td>Intel</td><td>$24.84</td></tr><tr><td><b>AMZN</b></td><td>Amazon</td><td>$93.98</td></tr><tr><td><b>OKTA</b></td><td>Okta</td><td>$71.15</td></tr><tr><td><b>YEXT</b></td><td>Yext</td><td>$7.36</td></tr><tr><td><b>RIOT</b></td><td>Riot Platforms</td><td>$6.22</td></tr><tr><td><b>NET</b></td><td>Cloudflare</td><td>$59.64</td></tr></tbody></table><h2></h2><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft </a></h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47f6b1c8715f6779c55164dde59413d6\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Source: Asif Islam / Shutterstock.com</p><p><b>Microsoft’s</b> rollout of ChatGPT integration with Bing and high growth in its cloud segment makes it among the hottest stocks this year. Of course, Bing could still be a “nothing burger” as not many people are interested in permanently switching to Bing except for niche purposes. But the Street is certainly excited.</p><p>The company reported its fiscal Q2 2023 earnings, where its overall revenue grew 2%, but Azure and other cloud services revenue grew 31%, with Office 365 Commercial sales growing 11%. Conversely, Windows OEM and devices sales each decreased by 39%, which substantially negatively impacted top-line growth. The point is that Microsoft is slowly shaping its business away from slow-growth segments and into up-and-coming ones like Azure and Office 365. This will hurt the company’s top-line growth in the short term, but I see healthy growth metrics in the long run.</p><p>Furthermore, the cloud isn’t the only thing in which Microsoft has an edge. The company’s aggressively investing in artificial intelligence, such as its $10 billion OpenAI investment. As AI becomes more important, these investments will pay off greatly.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INTC\">Intel </a></h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/35428f0e9fb4a3ba4685923398cf5024\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Source: shutterstock.com/everything possible</p><p>Tough competition with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">Advanced Micro Devices</a> and sluggish year-over-year growth have caused <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INTC\">Intel</a>’s stock to plummet to decade-low valuations. However, it should be noted that the company is transforming and adapting its business for long-term success.</p><p>Intel is particularly focusing on chips for AI, announcing a $20 billion investment into domestic chip production in the U.S., unlike other semiconductor companies that are sourcing their chips from foreign sources such as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSM\">Taiwan Semiconductor</a>. The CHIPS act subsidy will come in handy for the company in this regard, as Intel already reported 30% YoY growth in its foundry segment. Its Mobileye ownership is also paying dividends, with sales up 59% YoY.</p><p>Another important highlight mentioned in a recent company press release,</p><blockquote>“Intel continues to progress with its goal of achieving five nodes in four years and is on track to regain transistor performance and power performance leadership by 2025. Intel 7 is now in high-volume manufacturing for both client and server. Intel 4 is manufacturing-ready, with the Meteor Lake ramp expected in the second half of 2023.”</blockquote><p>Simply put, Intel is expanding its own chip production for a more addressable market. It is also moving away from foreign sources with its own chip branding instead of using nanometers to describe its semiconductors and seeks to catch up with TSMC and AMD by 2025. If things go smoothly, Intel can become a significant chip provider for various industries in the U.S.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon </a></h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5d8c777beef9fcbe72151403c6646024\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Source: Tada Images / Shutterstock.com</p><p><b>Amazon</b> leads the burgeoning cloud industry with Amazon Web Services. Although other companies are certainly upping their competition here, AWS remains the dominant platform with 34% of the market share. AWS has its hands in almost every industry; even <b>Ethereum</b> (<b>ETH-USD</b>) has a substantial amount of nodes that use AWS to run, while 7,500 government agencies rely on the platform. This reliance is likely to continue, even if other alternatives become more cost-effective. Accordingly, AWS segment sales increased 29% year-over-year to $80.1 billion for all of 2022.</p><p>Nevertheless, Amazon is a highly diversified company with many other promising segments to bank on. Most importantly, it is the biggest U.S. e-commerce business. It had some hiccups after the post-covid boom ended, but e-commerce is among the most promising industries in the long run. If Amazon retains its 38% market share in the industry, it could lead to sales as high as $600 billion annually from the U.S. alone by 2027.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/OKTA\">Okta </a></h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/85eeaa891ca15d8a5082c7ce82b75e95\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Source: Sundry Photography / Shutterstock.com</p><p><b>Okta</b> has been one of the standout performers in the technology sector post-covid, with its stock price skyrocketing by more than 130% in 2020. However, widening losses and falling growth caused worries among investors, and OKTA stock is down 75%-plus from its peak in 2021.</p><p>Regardless, the company’s top line remains stable, and I believe Okta can make a comeback as its losses are narrowing. With more and more businesses moving their operations online, Okta’s solutions are becoming increasingly essential, which has helped the company to attract a growing number of high-profile customers. Its high 37% sales growth should accelerate over the long run and bring a higher growth premium.</p><p>Indeed, the losses are unconvincing, but Okta is well-positioned to continue its impressive growth trajectory. The company is expected to benefit from the ongoing shift towards cloud-based applications and the increasing need for robust cybersecurity solutions, which should drive demand for its IAM platform. Most of the company’s cons are also already priced in, and I see little downside left.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/YEXT\">Yext </a></h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ef123c0f44cb8643c125a3ef73012291\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Source: rblfmr / Shutterstock.com</p><p><b>Yext</b> is a leading provider of digital knowledge management software that helps businesses manage their online presence across multiple platforms. The stock was on a roller coaster ride over the pandemic era but began to bottom out last year and is now steadily recovering. However, I still think that its 50% recovery trough to the current year-to-date peak is not enough of a recovery, and there’s more to go.</p><p>The COVID-19 pandemic initially harmed Yext’s business, as many of its customers had to shut down their physical locations. However, the company has adapted well to the changing market conditions, focusing on expanding its digital knowledge management platform to meet the needs of businesses that have shifted their operations online. Now, online businesses are a growth catalyst for Yext.</p><p>Stock analyst Gurufocus.com does believe it could be a value trap due to its high losses. However, its most recent 10-Q filing shows that the company only spent $60.6 million on general and administrative expenses last year, with $221.5 million of gross profit. Most of its losses stem from high marketing and development spending, which can be easily cut down if needed. Therefore, I believe the company’s management sees its losses (that are narrowing) as sustainable.</p><p>Overall, it’s a high-risk, high-reward bet that might not suit all investors as the best tech stock to buy.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/RIOT\">Riot Platforms </a></h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/783635b327e5ba7814bc70de48c780ad\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Source: Shutterstock</p><p><b>Riot Platforms</b> is a cryptocurrency mining company that has been on a wild ride over the past year. Due to a significant drop in <b>Bitcoin</b> (<b>BTC-USD</b>) prices earlier this year, the company’s stock price has lost more than 91.5% of its value from its peak. However, this high-risk stock can deliver a long-term comeback, driven by strong demand for its mining services and the increasing adoption of cryptocurrencies by mainstream investors.</p><p>Riot’s impressive financial performance has been driven by its aggressive expansion into the cryptocurrency mining market. The company has zero debt, and buying it at this current range will likely generate oversized returns when Bitcoin increases in value. The most important catalyst for RIOT is Bitcoin’s halving in 2024.</p><p>It’ll cut mining rewards by half and likely increase its value substantially. The company could make a sharp recovery with RIOT’s 65.4% gross margin and its stash of around 7000 BTC. Naturally, a lot of speculation is involved here, and I wouldn’t recommend buying it if you only wish to invest in well-established names.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NET\">Cloudflare </a></h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dc4e1c6480937d07de0a6078b1b53a4a\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Source: IgorGolovniov / Shutterstock.com</p><p><b>Cloudflare’s</b> success can be attributed to its innovative approach to cybersecurity. The company offers a range of solutions that leverage the power of the cloud to protect against cyber attacks. The cybersecurity industry is rapidly growing despite short-term headwinds, and Cloudflare has a market share above 95% in network security. This gives the company enormous leverage over many online websites and businesses.</p><p>Moreover, as web development becomes more streamlined, Cloudflare’s dominance is only increasing due to cost-effectiveness. The company is consistently growing its top line near a 50% clip, and losses are steadily narrowing.</p><p>Gurufocus.com considers the stock “Significantly Undervalued,” with its future 3-5 year total revenue growth rate ranked better than 96.97% of its peers.

However, this is the prime time to look for the best tech stock to buy on the pullbacks. While losses have been considerable this year, it’s not permanent. In fact, I still believe most of these companies will start reporting much better year-on-year figures once the post-covid turbulence is behind us. Therefore, buying the best tech stocks now will give investors an excellent entry point for long-term gains. Here are the top seven picks to look into:MSFTMicrosoft$249.16INTCIntel$24.84AMZNAmazon$93.98OKTAOkta$71.15YEXTYext$7.36RIOTRiot Platforms$6.22NETCloudflare$59.64Microsoft Source: Asif Islam / Shutterstock.comMicrosoft’s rollout of ChatGPT integration with Bing and high growth in its cloud segment makes it among the hottest stocks this year. Of course, Bing could still be a “nothing burger” as not many people are interested in permanently switching to Bing except for niche purposes. But the Street is certainly excited.The company reported its fiscal Q2 2023 earnings, where its overall revenue grew 2%, but Azure and other cloud services revenue grew 31%, with Office 365 Commercial sales growing 11%. Conversely, Windows OEM and devices sales each decreased by 39%, which substantially negatively impacted top-line growth. The point is that Microsoft is slowly shaping its business away from slow-growth segments and into up-and-coming ones like Azure and Office 365. This will hurt the company’s top-line growth in the short term, but I see healthy growth metrics in the long run.Furthermore, the cloud isn’t the only thing in which Microsoft has an edge. The company’s aggressively investing in artificial intelligence, such as its $10 billion OpenAI investment. As AI becomes more important, these investments will pay off greatly.Intel Source: shutterstock.com/everything possibleTough competition with Advanced Micro Devices and sluggish year-over-year growth have caused Intel’s stock to plummet to decade-low valuations. However, it should be noted that the company is transforming and adapting its business for long-term success.Intel is particularly focusing on chips for AI, announcing a $20 billion investment into domestic chip production in the U.S., unlike other semiconductor companies that are sourcing their chips from foreign sources such as Taiwan Semiconductor. The CHIPS act subsidy will come in handy for the company in this regard, as Intel already reported 30% YoY growth in its foundry segment. Its Mobileye ownership is also paying dividends, with sales up 59% YoY.Another important highlight mentioned in a recent company press release,“Intel continues to progress with its goal of achieving five nodes in four years and is on track to regain transistor performance and power performance leadership by 2025. Intel 7 is now in high-volume manufacturing for both client and server. Intel 4 is manufacturing-ready, with the Meteor Lake ramp expected in the second half of 2023.”Simply put, Intel is expanding its own chip production for a more addressable market. It is also moving away from foreign sources with its own chip branding instead of using nanometers to describe its semiconductors and seeks to catch up with TSMC and AMD by 2025. If things go smoothly, Intel can become a significant chip provider for various industries in the U.S.Amazon Source: Tada Images / Shutterstock.comAmazon leads the burgeoning cloud industry with Amazon Web Services. Although other companies are certainly upping their competition here, AWS remains the dominant platform with 34% of the market share. AWS has its hands in almost every industry; even Ethereum (ETH-USD) has a substantial amount of nodes that use AWS to run, while 7,500 government agencies rely on the platform. This reliance is likely to continue, even if other alternatives become more cost-effective. Accordingly, AWS segment sales increased 29% year-over-year to $80.1 billion for all of 2022.Nevertheless, Amazon is a highly diversified company with many other promising segments to bank on. Most importantly, it is the biggest U.S. e-commerce business. It had some hiccups after the post-covid boom ended, but e-commerce is among the most promising industries in the long run. If Amazon retains its 38% market share in the industry, it could lead to sales as high as $600 billion annually from the U.S. alone by 2027.Okta Source: Sundry Photography / Shutterstock.comOkta has been one of the standout performers in the technology sector post-covid, with its stock price skyrocketing by more than 130% in 2020. However, widening losses and falling growth caused worries among investors, and OKTA stock is down 75%-plus from its peak in 2021.Regardless, the company’s top line remains stable, and I believe Okta can make a comeback as its losses are narrowing. With more and more businesses moving their operations online, Okta’s solutions are becoming increasingly essential, which has helped the company to attract a growing number of high-profile customers. Its high 37% sales growth should accelerate over the long run and bring a higher growth premium.Indeed, the losses are unconvincing, but Okta is well-positioned to continue its impressive growth trajectory. The company is expected to benefit from the ongoing shift towards cloud-based applications and the increasing need for robust cybersecurity solutions, which should drive demand for its IAM platform. Most of the company’s cons are also already priced in, and I see little downside left.Yext Source: rblfmr / Shutterstock.comYext is a leading provider of digital knowledge management software that helps businesses manage their online presence across multiple platforms. The stock was on a roller coaster ride over the pandemic era but began to bottom out last year and is now steadily recovering. However, I still think that its 50% recovery trough to the current year-to-date peak is not enough of a recovery, and there’s more to go.The COVID-19 pandemic initially harmed Yext’s business, as many of its customers had to shut down their physical locations. However, the company has adapted well to the changing market conditions, focusing on expanding its digital knowledge management platform to meet the needs of businesses that have shifted their operations online. Now, online businesses are a growth catalyst for Yext.Stock analyst Gurufocus.com does believe it could be a value trap due to its high losses. However, its most recent 10-Q filing shows that the company only spent $60.6 million on general and administrative expenses last year, with $221.5 million of gross profit. Most of its losses stem from high marketing and development spending, which can be easily cut down if needed. Therefore, I believe the company’s management sees its losses (that are narrowing) as sustainable.Overall, it’s a high-risk, high-reward bet that might not suit all investors as the best tech stock to buy.Riot Platforms Source: ShutterstockRiot Platforms is a cryptocurrency mining company that has been on a wild ride over the past year. Due to a significant drop in Bitcoin (BTC-USD) prices earlier this year, the company’s stock price has lost more than 91.5% of its value from its peak. However, this high-risk stock can deliver a long-term comeback, driven by strong demand for its mining services and the increasing adoption of cryptocurrencies by mainstream investors.Riot’s impressive financial performance has been driven by its aggressive expansion into the cryptocurrency mining market. The company has zero debt, and buying it at this current range will likely generate oversized returns when Bitcoin increases in value. The most important catalyst for RIOT is Bitcoin’s halving in 2024.It’ll cut mining rewards by half and likely increase its value substantially. The company could make a sharp recovery with RIOT’s 65.4% gross margin and its stash of around 7000 BTC. Naturally, a lot of speculation is involved here, and I wouldn’t recommend buying it if you only wish to invest in well-established names.Cloudflare Source: IgorGolovniov / Shutterstock.comCloudflare’s success can be attributed to its innovative approach to cybersecurity. The company offers a range of solutions that leverage the power of the cloud to protect against cyber attacks. The cybersecurity industry is rapidly growing despite short-term headwinds, and Cloudflare has a market share above 95% in network security. This gives the company enormous leverage over many online websites and businesses.Moreover, as web development becomes more streamlined, Cloudflare’s dominance is only increasing due to cost-effectiveness. The company is consistently growing its top line near a 50% clip, and losses are steadily narrowing.Gurufocus.com considers the stock “Significantly Undervalued,” with its future 3-5 year total revenue growth rate ranked better than 96.97% of its peers. Thus, consistency puts NET in the “best tech stock to buy” criteria.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":503,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9954552347,"gmtCreate":1676497978890,"gmtModify":1676497983060,"author":{"id":"3572830110372716","authorId":"3572830110372716","name":"KCtan1688","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb264e77c49fffb1d26a89a47dbc0250","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572830110372716","authorIdStr":"3572830110372716"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":13,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9954552347","repostId":"1129081945","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1129081945","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1676468965,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1129081945?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-02-15 21:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Elon Musk Nears World’s Richest Title Again, Thanks to Tesla’s 70% Rise This Year","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1129081945","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Elon Musk is closing in on recapturing his title as the world’s richest person since falling behind ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6d00118bda28270d2f81a9bfc2ea7bb2\" tg-width=\"800\" tg-height=\"521\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Elon Musk is closing in on recapturing his title as the world’s richest person since falling behind Bernard Arnault in December, thanks toTesla Inc.’s 70% rise this year.</p><p>It may take a bit longer for Musk to overtake the French luxury-goods titan, though, after disclosing this week he gave 11.6 million Tesla shares to unnamed charitable causes between August and December.

Musk sold more than $20 billion of Tesla stock last year as he tried to shore up his buyout of Twitter.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":76,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9959059752,"gmtCreate":1672869944577,"gmtModify":1676538749654,"author":{"id":"3572830110372716","authorId":"3572830110372716","name":"KCtan1688","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb264e77c49fffb1d26a89a47dbc0250","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572830110372716","authorIdStr":"3572830110372716"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9959059752","repostId":"2300434056","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2300434056","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1672845925,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2300434056?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-01-04 23:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 Sensational Stocks That Can Double Your Money in 2023","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2300434056","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Triple-digit returns could be just a click away from the buy button.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Welcome to a new year and a new opportunity to become smarter, happier, and -- most importantly -- richer.</p><p>Although 2022 didn&#39;t go as planned -- the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> and <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> ended the year down 19% and 33%, respectively -- bear markets are known to be blessings in disguise. These typically once-in-a-decade events allow opportunistic investors to pounce on innovative, game-changing companies at a discount. And with Wall Street taking a drubbing last year, bargains abound -- if you&#39;re willing to do some digging.</p><p>As we move headlong into a new year filled with uncertainty, the following seven sensational stocks stand as being capable of doubling your money in 2023.</p><h2>1. Novavax</h2><p>The first phenomenal stock that has the potential to deliver triple-digit returns for its shareholders in the new year is biotech stock <b>Novavax</b>. Since hitting its all-time high during the COVID-19 pandemic, shares of Novavax have plunged as much as 97%. But with its market cap down to $874 million, there are an abundance of reasons to believe Novavax could &#34;shoot&#34; higher.</p><p>Novavax is one of a handful of drug developers that earned acclaim by running clinical trials for a COVID-19 vaccine. But unlike a majority of drugmakers, it was one of only three -- along with <b>Pfizer</b>/<b>BioNTech</b> and <b>Moderna</b> -- to achieve at least a 90% vaccine efficacy with its vaccine, NVX-CoV2373.</p><p>The Novavax vaccine is also differentiated by its mechanism of action. Instead of being messenger-RNA-based, as with the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, NVX-CoV2373 uses older technology and bits of spike protein from the SARS-CoV-2 virus to teach a person&#39;s immune system how to recognize and fight the infection. For people who might be leery of taking an mRNA-based vaccine, Novavax provides a high-efficacy solution in developed and emerging markets.</p><p>In 2023, COVID-19 vaccine sales in the U.S. moved from advanced purchase agreements with the federal government to the private market. I expect this to improve Novavax&#39;s pricing power and help it better compete as an initial series and/or booster option.</p><p>Additionally, Novavax is sitting on an absolute mountain of cash. It ended September with $1.28 billion in cash and cash equivalents, which was prior to its recent gross proceeds raise of $250 million from the sale of shares and convertible debt. This provides more-than-enough capital to run clinical studies involving NVX-CoV2373 as a combination therapy (influenza + COVID-19), as well as further its influenza and respiratory syncytial virus vaccine candidates.</p><h2>2. Green Thumb Industries</h2><p>A second high-caliber stock that can double your money in 2023 is U.S. cannabis multi-state operator (MSO) <b>Green Thumb Industries</b>. Although a lack of cannabis reform on Capitol Hill has been a buzzkill for pot stocks, Green Thumb Industries&#39; growth strategy has proved unstoppable.</p><p>Before digging into company specifics, it&#39;s important to note two macro factors working in Green Thumb&#39;s favor. First, approximately three-quarters of U.S. states have legalized marijuana in some capacity. This provides more-than-enough opportunity for MSOs to grow their sales and push toward profitability.</p><p>Second, cannabis has been treated as a nondiscretionary good. Even if the U.S. dips into a recession this year, history has shown that consumers will continue to buy pot products.</p><p>Green Thumb Industries had 77 operating dispensaries open as of Dec. 1, 2022, with a presence in 15 legalized states. It holds enough retail licenses in its back pocket to effectively double its retail-store presence over time. With BDSA forecasting an increase in legal U.S. weed sales to $42 billion by 2026 from an estimated $27 billion in 2022, Green Thumb looks like it&#39;s in great shape.</p><p>The secret sauce that makes Green Thumb tick is its revenue mix. While dried cannabis flower is most often associated with marijuana use, more than half of Green Thumb&#39;s revenue comes from derivative products, such as vapes, edibles, dabs, beverages, pre-rolls, and health and beauty products. These are higher-priced products that deliver much juicier margins than dried cannabis flower. This revenue mix is precisely why Green Thumb has delivered nine consecutive quarters of profit, based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).</p><p>With marijuana stocks getting thrashed to end the year following the exclusion of the SAFE Banking Act from the federal annual defense bill, now is the time to pounce on this industry leader.</p><h2>3. Bark</h2><p>For something way off the radar that can double your money in 2023, say hello to dog-focused products-and-services company <b>Bark</b>. Like virtually every other company that was brought to market via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) in 2020 and 2021, Bark has been decimated since making its public debut. But thanks to an unstoppable trend and the expectation of an improving income statement, the company has the tools needed to double shareholders&#39; money in 2023.</p><p>Though recessions are an inevitable part of the economic cycle, the U.S. pet industry hasn&#39;t seemed to care. It&#39;s been well over a quarter century since year-over-year pet expenditures declined in the United States, according to data from the American Pet Products Association (APPA). What&#39;s more, the percentage of households that own a pet is higher now than at any point since the APPA began its survey on pet ownership in 1988. (Translation: Pet owners willingly open their wallets to ensure the health and happiness of their four-legged family members.)</p><p>What makes Bark so special is the company&#39;s direct-to-consumer (DTC) focus. While the company&#39;s revenue breakdown can be fluid, depending on when orders are placed, it&#39;s pretty common for Bark to generate about 10% of its revenue from brick-and-mortar retail stores. The remainder comes from the company&#39;s 2.24 million (and growing) active subscriptions.</p><p>A DTC-driven operating model lends to highly predictable cash flow and helps keep inventory levels from getting out of hand. In other words, Bark&#39;s operating model should lead to lower overhead costs than its peers.</p><p>Furthermore, Bark has seen strong add-on sales growth since introducing Bark Bright (a dental-products offering) during the pandemic. With the addition of Bark Eats, a dry-food subscription service catered to specific dog breeds, Bark should be able to substantially narrow its losses while maintaining a gross margin of around 60% in the coming quarters.</p><h2>4. PubMatic</h2><p>Another sensational stock with the competitive advantages necessary to double your money in 2023 is cloud-based adtech company <b>PubMatic</b>. While ad spending during the first half of the year could be dicey -- which isn&#39;t uncommon when economic uncertainty is high -- PubMatic finds itself perfectly positioned to take advantage of a shift in spending to digital platforms.</p><p>Prior to the advent of the internet, the buying and selling of ads and ad space was time-consuming and inefficient. But thanks to the internet and companies like PubMatic, programmatic ad platforms now do virtually all of the work. The digital ad industry (i.e., video, mobile, connected TV (CTV), and over-the-top programmatic ads) is expected to grow by a compound annual rate of 14% through 2025.</p><p>PubMatic is a sell-side platform (SSP) that helps companies sell their digital display space to advertisers. As a result of consolidation, there aren&#39;t too many SSPs left, which puts PubMatic in an advantageous position within the space.</p><p>Although advertisers are upping their spending across all digital channels, the fastest growth has been seen with CTV. Not coincidentally, CTV accounts for a substantial portion of PubMatic&#39;s revenue, which is why it has consistently grown at a faster organic rate than the industry average.</p><p>In addition, PubMatic made the choice to design and build its own cloud-based programmatic ad platform. Though costly and time-consuming, this decision will allow the company to reap the rewards of higher operating margins as its revenue scales.</p><p>One final note: PubMatic ended September with $166.1 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities with no debt. This means it has an enterprise value of just over $500 million, despite an industry-topping double-digit growth rate and recurring profits.</p><h2>5. Lovesac</h2><p>The fifth remarkable stock that can double your money in 2023 is furniture retailer <b>Lovesac</b>. Fight the urge to fall asleep because I said &#34;furniture retailer,&#34; because this company is turning an industry desperate for disruption on its head.</p><p>One of the biggest differentiating factors with Lovesac <i>is</i> its furniture. Whereas most brick-and-mortar retailers buy products from the same group of wholesalers, Lovesac&#39;s products are unique. In particular, close to 88% of its net sales come from sactionals -- modular couches that can be rearranged to fit most living spaces.</p><p>Buyers can choose from over 200 different covers, and the yarn used in these covers is made entirely from recycled plastic water bottles. The functionality and optionality offered by Lovesac is unmatched.</p><p>Lovesac&#39;s operating model generally caters to middle- and upper-income millennials. These are folks who tend to appreciate Lovesac&#39;s ESG (environmental, social, and governance<i>) </i>tendencies. More importantly, the buying habits of these people tend to be less affected when minor economic downturns arise or inflation picks up. In short, Lovesac&#39;s business is unlikely to be hit as hard by high inflation or a recession as traditional furniture retailers.</p><p>But what&#39;s really allowed Lovesac to shine is its omnichannel sales approach. Despite having 189 retail locations spanning 40 states, it&#39;s been able to shift its sales online or utilize popup showrooms and a handful of brand-name partnerships, to bolster its sales. Similar to Bark, Lovesac has been able to use its DTC presence to lower its overhead expenses and push to full-year profitability.</p><p>In 2023, Lovesac&#39;s biggest catalyst looks like it will be inventory reduction. Wall Street has been concerned with rising inventory levels, which management contends is to meet growing demand. If Lovesac can maintain its double-digit organic growth rate, working through its inventory shouldn&#39;t be a problem.</p><h2>6. Petco Health &amp; Wellness</h2><p>The next sensational stock that can double your money in 2023 is none other than pet-focused retailer <b>Petco Health and Wellness</b>. That&#39;s right, this list is doubling down on pet owners&#39; willingness to spend on their furry, feathered, gilled, and scaled &#34;family members&#34; in the new year.</p><p>Petco Health and Wellness was sent to the doghouse last year. Shares of the company plunged 52%, with most of these losses coming after the company&#39;s disappointing second quarter, which featured higher integration costs following its acquisition of veterinary-care company Thrive.</p><p>Petco and Thrive formed a joint venture in 2017 that saw the duo grow to around 100 pet hospitals located in Petco stores. This deal was for Thrive&#39;s 50% stake in that joint venture.</p><p>But as noted, spending on pets has effectively been recession-proof since the mid-1990s. While growth slowdowns are certainly possible, a record level of pet ownership in the wake of the pandemic bodes well for companies like Petco.</p><p>What&#39;s far more important is that Petco&#39;s focus on subscription services and digital sales is beginning to pay off. Even though in-store interactions will continue to generate the bulk of the company&#39;s sales, the pandemic taught Petco&#39;s management team the importance of having a beefed-up online presence. Digital sales were up 10% from the prior-year period in the company&#39;s fiscal quarter ended Oct. 29, 2022, and 42% when looking back two years.</p><p>In terms of subscriptions, the company now has north of 400,000 Vital Care members. Vital Care provides members discounts on various products, grooming, and routine vet exams and has seen its recurring revenue jump 56% from the previous year. If Petco can sustain strong double-digit recurring revenue and subscription growth in 2023, it could reasonably reverse course and retrace all of its losses from last year.</p><h2>7. Redfin</h2><p>Last but not least, consider technology-driven real estate company <b>Redfin</b> as a stock that can double your money in 2023.</p><p>There&#39;s absolutely no sugarcoating how poor the past year and change has been for real estate-focused businesses. Redfin has lost approximately 96% of its value since reaching its all-time high, and rapidly rising mortgage rates are doing the industry no favors.</p><p>A report from the company notes that home sales plummeted 35% in November from the prior-year period, the largest decline on record. And new listings plunged 28%, which is the second-largest year-over-year drop in history.</p><p>Despite this abysmal data, it&#39;s plausible that pessimists have overshot to the downside, considering the competitive advantages Redfin offers when compared to traditional real estate firms.</p><p>For example, traditional real estate companies and agents charge anywhere from 2.5% to 3% for their services. Redfin charges its customers either 1% or 1.5%, depending on how much previous businesses they have done with the company. With a median home sales price of $393,682 in November, an up to 2 percentage-point difference when compared to traditional real estate firms, can save sellers more than $7,800 (at the median).</p><p>Redfin also offers a variety of services designed to either help sellers maximize the value of their homes or lessen the burdens associated with selling property. These services can help boost Redfin&#39;s gross margin by adding a personalized touch that traditional real estate companies fail to provide.</p><p>The final consideration with Redfin is that it&#39;s exiting its iBuyer business, known as RedfinNow. This segment purchased homes for cash, which were later resold.</p><p>Ending this program and paring down its portfolio of assets will bolster the company&#39;s cash position while lowering expenses. Management believes this combination of cost-cutting and refocusing on its bread-and-butter internet service-based advantages can lead the company to a profitable year in 2024.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>7 Sensational Stocks That Can Double Your Money in 2023</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\">\n7 Sensational Stocks That Can Double Your Money in 2023\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-01-04 23:25 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/01/03/7-sensational-stocks-can-double-your-money-in-2023/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Welcome to a new year and a new opportunity to become smarter, happier, and -- most importantly -- richer.Although 2022 didn't go as planned -- the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite ended the year down 19%...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/01/03/7-sensational-stocks-can-double-your-money-in-2023/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"LOVE":"Lovesac Co.","BARK":"The Original Bark Corp.","RDFN":"Redfin Corp","PUBM":"PubMatic, Inc.","WOOF":"Petco Health and Wellness Company, Inc.","NVAX":"诺瓦瓦克斯医药","GTBIF":"Green Thumb Industries Inc."},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/01/03/7-sensational-stocks-can-double-your-money-in-2023/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2300434056","content_text":"Welcome to a new year and a new opportunity to become smarter, happier, and -- most importantly -- richer.Although 2022 didn't go as planned -- the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite ended the year down 19% and 33%, respectively -- bear markets are known to be blessings in disguise.

BarkFor something way off the radar that can double your money in 2023, say hello to dog-focused products-and-services company Bark.

LovesacThe fifth remarkable stock that can double your money in 2023 is furniture retailer Lovesac. Fight the urge to fall asleep because I said \"furniture retailer,\" because this company is turning an industry desperate for disruption on its head.One of the biggest differentiating factors with Lovesac is its furniture. Whereas most brick-and-mortar retailers buy products from the same group of wholesalers, Lovesac's products are unique. In particular, close to 88% of its net sales come from sactionals -- modular couches that can be rearranged to fit most living spaces.Buyers can choose from over 200 different covers, and the yarn used in these covers is made entirely from recycled plastic water bottles. The functionality and optionality offered by Lovesac is unmatched.Lovesac's operating model generally caters to middle- and upper-income millennials. These are folks who tend to appreciate Lovesac's ESG (environmental, social, and governance) tendencies. More importantly, the buying habits of these people tend to be less affected when minor economic downturns arise or inflation picks up. In short, Lovesac's business is unlikely to be hit as hard by high inflation or a recession as traditional furniture retailers.But what's really allowed Lovesac to shine is its omnichannel sales approach. Despite having 189 retail locations spanning 40 states, it's been able to shift its sales online or utilize popup showrooms and a handful of brand-name partnerships, to bolster its sales. Similar to Bark, Lovesac has been able to use its DTC presence to lower its overhead expenses and push to full-year profitability.In 2023, Lovesac's biggest catalyst looks like it will be inventory reduction. Wall Street has been concerned with rising inventory levels, which management contends is to meet growing demand. If Lovesac can maintain its double-digit organic growth rate, working through its inventory shouldn't be a problem.6. Petco Health & WellnessThe next sensational stock that can double your money in 2023 is none other than pet-focused retailer Petco Health and Wellness. That's right, this list is doubling down on pet owners' willingness to spend on their furry, feathered, gilled, and scaled \"family members\" in the new year.Petco Health and Wellness was sent to the doghouse last year. Shares of the company plunged 52%, with most of these losses coming after the company's disappointing second quarter, which featured higher integration costs following its acquisition of veterinary-care company Thrive.Petco and Thrive formed a joint venture in 2017 that saw the duo grow to around 100 pet hospitals located in Petco stores. This deal was for Thrive's 50% stake in that joint venture.But as noted, spending on pets has effectively been recession-proof since the mid-1990s. While growth slowdowns are certainly possible, a record level of pet ownership in the wake of the pandemic bodes well for companies like Petco.What's far more important is that Petco's focus on subscription services and digital sales is beginning to pay off. Even though in-store interactions will continue to generate the bulk of the company's sales, the pandemic taught Petco's management team the importance of having a beefed-up online presence. Digital sales were up 10% from the prior-year period in the company's fiscal quarter ended Oct. 29, 2022, and 42% when looking back two years.In terms of subscriptions, the company now has north of 400,000 Vital Care members. Vital Care provides members discounts on various products, grooming, and routine vet exams and has seen its recurring revenue jump 56% from the previous year. If Petco can sustain strong double-digit recurring revenue and subscription growth in 2023, it could reasonably reverse course and retrace all of its losses from last year.7. RedfinLast but not least, consider technology-driven real estate company Redfin as a stock that can double your money in 2023.There's absolutely no sugarcoating how poor the past year and change has been for real estate-focused businesses. Redfin has lost approximately 96% of its value since reaching its all-time high, and rapidly rising mortgage rates are doing the industry no favors.A report from the company notes that home sales plummeted 35% in November from the prior-year period, the largest decline on record. And new listings plunged 28%, which is the second-largest year-over-year drop in history.Despite this abysmal data, it's plausible that pessimists have overshot to the downside, considering the competitive advantages Redfin offers when compared to traditional real estate firms.For example, traditional real estate companies and agents charge anywhere from 2.5% to 3% for their services. Redfin charges its customers either 1% or 1.5%, depending on how much previous businesses they have done with the company. With a median home sales price of $393,682 in November, an up to 2 percentage-point difference when compared to traditional real estate firms, can save sellers more than $7,800 (at the median).Redfin also offers a variety of services designed to either help sellers maximize the value of their homes or lessen the burdens associated with selling property. These services can help boost Redfin's gross margin by adding a personalized touch that traditional real estate companies fail to provide.The final consideration with Redfin is that it's exiting its iBuyer business, known as RedfinNow. This segment purchased homes for cash, which were later resold.Ending this program and paring down its portfolio of assets will bolster the company's cash position while lowering expenses. Management believes this combination of cost-cutting and refocusing on its bread-and-butter internet service-based advantages can lead the company to a profitable year in 2024.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":474,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9924302861,"gmtCreate":1672176677953,"gmtModify":1676538646215,"author":{"id":"3572830110372716","authorId":"3572830110372716","name":"KCtan1688","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb264e77c49fffb1d26a89a47dbc0250","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3572830110372716","authorIdStr":"3572830110372716"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":11,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9924302861","repostId":"2294655826","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2294655826","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1672155571,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2294655826?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-27 23:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Tesla Is One Stock I'd Avoid in 2023","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2294655826","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"From leadership to a looming recession, the problems are piling up.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Undoubtedly, electric vehicles (EVs) will become the norm over the next couple of decades, ending more than 100 years of internal combustion engine automobile dominance.
