In the U.S., less than 10% of total automobile sales are now EVs. In China, that percentage is higher, with battery electric vehicles (BEVs) accounting for 25% of new sales in September 2023.</p><p>This makes China a critical EV market for investors, and <strong>Nio</strong> is a company that often comes up when researching Chinese EV companies. With EVs slated to capture even more market share in 2024, is Nio a good buy right now?</p><h2 id=\"id_452861976\">Nio is not China&#39;s largest EV producer</h2><p>Although Nio is a popular Chinese EV investment for U.S. investors, it&#39;s far from China&#39;s biggest EV maker. That title belongs to <strong>BYD </strong>(BYDDY). In December, Nio delivered over 18,000 vehicles, up 14% year over year. For 2023, it delivered over 160,000 vehicles, up 31%.</p><p>In comparison, BYD produced over 3 million cars in 2023 and nearly 309,000 in December alone. So size-wise, Nio isn&#39;t even close to BYD.</p><p>But the two are serving different markets. Nio is focused on the luxury segment, while BYD offers more affordable EVs. As a result, Nio will likely never reach the same scale as BYD, but that doesn&#39;t disqualify Nio as a potential investment.</p><p>However, it should be noted that China&#39;s economy isn&#39;t doing particularly well.

In the U.S., less than 10% of total automobile sales are now EVs. In China, that percentage is higher, with battery electric vehicles (BEVs) accounting for 25% of new sales in September 2023.This makes China a critical EV market for investors, and Nio is a company that often comes up when researching Chinese EV companies. With EVs slated to capture even more market share in 2024, is Nio a good buy right now?Nio is not China's largest EV producerAlthough Nio is a popular Chinese EV investment for U.S. investors, it's far from China's biggest EV maker. That title belongs to BYD (BYDDY). In December, Nio delivered over 18,000 vehicles, up 14% year over year. For 2023, it delivered over 160,000 vehicles, up 31%.In comparison, BYD produced over 3 million cars in 2023 and nearly 309,000 in December alone. So size-wise, Nio isn't even close to BYD.But the two are serving different markets. Nio is focused on the luxury segment, while BYD offers more affordable EVs. As a result, Nio will likely never reach the same scale as BYD, but that doesn't disqualify Nio as a potential investment.However, it should be noted that China's economy isn't doing particularly well. This could spell trouble for Nio if drivers look to cheaper options instead of more premium ones. While it remains to be seen if this will have an effect in 2024, it's something to consider before taking a position in Nio.Another consideration is its financials.Nio is unprofitable and burning cash quicklyNio is a rapidly growing company.

The company recently completed its long-awaited takeover of VMware and also released a very solid Q4 earnings report. At pixel-time the stock was trading at $1060.24 a share, making it increasingly hard for many smaller ordinary investors to scale-into a full position in the stock by making occasional share purchases. As a result, it is quite likely that Broadcom will - in the near future - split the shares. My guess is that the company will declare a 20:1 split.</p><h2 id=\"id_4060706663\">Investment Thesis</h2><p>All things being equal (while acknowledging they seldom are ...), a stock-split in and of itself does not create shareholder value. After all, if I hand you a $5 bill and you give me five $1&#39;s back, I am none the richer. That said, one could argue that a stock-split does give an emotional and psychological lift to the shares. However, two relatively recent examples of 20:1 stock-splits in the technology sector show they are certainly no panacea:</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/833043cadee2a5ca4d11f75552f59e1f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"377\"/></p><p>Google 20:1 Stock Split (Yahoo Finance)</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/64b5a9f257871e5bac395896dfbdf6e4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"379\"/></p><p>Amazon 20:1 Stock Split (Yahoo Finance)</p><p></p><p>As can be seen in the charts above (by the square &#34;S&#34; in the graphics near the volume bars on the bottom), both Google (GOOG) and Amazon (AMZN) split their stocks 20:1 in 2022. Note I predicted the AMZN split in this Seeking Alpha article, although I suggested a 10:1 split was more likely.

As a result, a 20:1 stock-split is quite likely in the near future.Stock splits in-and-of themselves are no panacea. After all, if I give you a $5 bill and you hand me five $1's back, I am no better off.However, stock splits do have emotional value and also enable small investors to more easily scale-into full positions.In my opinion, Broadcom's strong Q4 earnings report, its excellent free-cash-flow profile, and the VMware acquisition make a stock split even more likely.Meantime, Broadcom continues to be one of the best dividend growth stocks in the entire S&P500 with a 14% increase in the quarterly dividend to $5.25/share, or $21 on an annual basis.Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO), long one of my favorite technology stocks, has been on a tremendous bull-run this year: +91.6% YTD. The company recently completed its long-awaited takeover of VMware and also released a very solid Q4 earnings report. At pixel-time the stock was trading at $1060.24 a share, making it increasingly hard for many smaller ordinary investors to scale-into a full position in the stock by making occasional share purchases. As a result, it is quite likely that Broadcom will - in the near future - split the shares. My guess is that the company will declare a 20:1 split.Investment ThesisAll things being equal (while acknowledging they seldom are ...), a stock-split in and of itself does not create shareholder value. After all, if I hand you a $5 bill and you give me five $1's back, I am none the richer. That said, one could argue that a stock-split does give an emotional and psychological lift to the shares. However, two relatively recent examples of 20:1 stock-splits in the technology sector show they are certainly no panacea:Google 20:1 Stock Split (Yahoo Finance)Amazon 20:1 Stock Split (Yahoo Finance)As can be seen in the charts above (by the square \"S\" in the graphics near the volume bars on the bottom), both Google (GOOG) and Amazon (AMZN) split their stocks 20:1 in 2022. Note I predicted the AMZN split in this Seeking Alpha article, although I suggested a 10:1 split was more likely. That was based on the thesis that AMZN wanted to become a more attractive candidate to join the DJIA Index. That still has not happened, but it seems to be a given that some day it will. Amazon is another favorite tech holding of mine, and one could argue that its current valuation is based solely on its AWS cloud segment, which is - in my opinion - ignoring the immense potential of advertising in its retail operations. But that is a subject for another article down the road.Meantime, note that both GOOG and AMZN stocks got a short-term boost after the splits before drastically selling-off in the 2022 tech-sector bear market as rapidly increasing interest rates and a strong dollar took a toll on the tech sector. However, today both stocks are significantly higher than they were at the time of the splits (in the end, fundamentals drive long-term stock value).The old Broadcom split its stock three times between 1999 and 2006. However, since Avago bought Broadcom and adopted its name in 2015, the stock has not split even once. Propelled by a series of acquisitions that were excellently managed and integrated by CEO Hock Tan to unleash strong shareholder value, the stock has appreciated 300%+ over the last 5-years alone.It's time for a split.Impact of A Potential 20:1 SplitAccording to its recent Q4 EPS report, Broadcom ended FY2024 with an average of 427 million fully diluted shares. Despite Broadcom's strong share buyback plan, that was actually up 4 million shares on a yoy basis, primarily because Broadcom was prevented from executing its full share buyback plan while the VMware deal was in-flux. However, from the Q4 conference call we learned:For fiscal 2023, we spent $15.3 billion, consisting of $7.6 billion in the form of cash dividends and $7.7 billion in share repurchases and eliminations. We ended the year with $7.2 billion of authorized share repurchase programs remaining. With the VMware deal closed, we have resumed repurchasing shares under our existing program.The resumption of share repurchases may be one reason for the strong stock-price action since the close of the VMware deal on November 22:Data by YChartsThe other reasons, of course, was the excellent Q4 earnings report combined with the FY2024 guidance - both of which I will get to in a minute. Meantime, a 20:1 stock split would equate to:An estimated 8.54 billion outstanding share count.A stock price of $53.01.An annual dividend of $1.05/share.The yield, of course, would stay the same (2.00%).EarningsBroadcom's Q4 revenue of $9.295 billion was only up 4% yoy and many investors and analysts appeared to be unimpressed. What they are missing is that Broadcom typically grows earnings and free-cash-flow faster than revenue, and this was once again the case in Q4:BroadcomAs can be seen in the graphic, Q4 earnings of $8.25/share were up 5.4% yoy.

Hats-off to Mr. Hock Tan and his team of Broadcom employees.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":159,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":224444244963416,"gmtCreate":1695804886027,"gmtModify":1695804890098,"author":{"id":"3572907325602131","authorId":"3572907325602131","name":"Xkuanx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e90936aad3336fa7f5cc5bc70cbab1fc","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Already run&nbsp;","listText":"Already run&nbsp;","text":"Already run","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/224444244963416","repostId":"2370206858","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":96,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":207584021299376,"gmtCreate":1691708509023,"gmtModify":1691708514025,"author":{"id":"3572907325602131","authorId":"3572907325602131","name":"Xkuanx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e90936aad3336fa7f5cc5bc70cbab1fc","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Share your opinion about this news…","listText":"Share your opinion about this news…","text":"Share your opinion about this news…","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/207584021299376","repostId":"2358707726","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2358707726","pubTimestamp":1691628060,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2358707726?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-08-10 08:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Stock Split Watch: Is Broadcom Next?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2358707726","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Is a Broadcom stock split on the horizon?

(<span>NASDAQ:AVGO</span>) is a leading semiconductor company with a broad portfolio of patents (over 23,000) and market leadership in niche products of logic semiconductors such as ethernet switches (76%) and ASICs (35%) and analog semiconductors including fibre channel (75%). Also, we know<span> that Broadcom has had an acquisition strategy based on its past M&amp;A activities since 1960. We determined that its M&amp;A strategy had been beneficial to its revenue growth, with M&amp;A contributing to 54% of total revenue growth in the past 10 years.</span></p> <p>Furthermore, we believed its acquisition of CA Technologies highlights its continued diversification into the software industry and confirmed its expansion with the acquisition of Symantec’s enterprise security business. Moreover, its software expansion is supported by its partnerships with major cloud service provider Google Cloud by migrating its suite of enterprise software to the cloud, improving its scale and deployment efficiencies. Following these acquisitions, we confirmed the integration of its infrastructure software businesses with the launch of integrated products and improved its profitability by leveraging its common customer base to streamline its SG&amp;A activities and increase its focus on R&amp;D.</p> <p>Additionally, we determined that Broadcom has a dividend payment strategy based on cash flows (50%) and we forecasted its dividends per share to grow by 18% on average through 2024 based on expected cash flows. However, we see the company's high and rising debt levels could be a concern for its acquisition strategy.</p> <p>Recently, the company announced its acquisition of VMware (VMW) for a consideration of approximately $61 bln from an even split between cash and stock. This is expected to be completed by FY2023. The announcement of the deal is unsurprising to us, as we understood that the company has an acquisition strategy based on its past M&amp;A activity since 1960. Previously, we already analyzed and expected the company to continue its diversification into the software industry as we saw it more progressively moving into software with 3 acquisitions, starting with Brocade in 2017 and expanding through its acquisitions such as CA Technologies in 2018 and Symantec Enterprise Security in 2019.</p> <p>To determine the impact of the acquisition on the company, we first analyzed VMware’s products and customers. We estimated its potential revenue synergies by determining whether it serves a common customer base with Broadcom which are enterprise customers based on its business relationships with the Fortune 500 firms. Additionally, we then examined whether Broadcom is planning to shift VMware’s license customers to subscriptions and projected its revenue growth and contribution to Broadcom.</p> <p>Moreover, we examined the potential for integration opportunities between Broadcom and VMware by targeting a common customer base on its operating expenses including SG&amp;A and R&amp;D by comparing Broadcom’s software segment margins with its previous acquisitions. We then projected the company’s operating margins through 2026 based on management's targeted EBITDA contribution.</p> <p>Lastly, we analyzed the deal’s acquisition cost with a mix of cash and stock to determine its impact on its cash flows and net debt through 2026. Also, we determined and analyzed its WACC pre-and post-acquisition with the increased debt.</p> <h2><strong>VMware Revenue Opportunity</strong></h2> <p>VMware provides a “core cloud infrastructure that powers modern enterprises.” The company’s product portfolio includes its</p> <blockquote><p>vSphere server virtualization platform, vSAN data storage virtualization solution, vRealize cloud management platform that provides automation, analytics and life cycle management for private cloud workloads and NSX.</p></blockquote> <p>Besides that, VMware's Tanzu platform “provides an end-to-end modern application management platform and end-user and security solutions.” According to Gartner (IT), VMware was the market leader in the global virtualization infrastructure software market in 2021 with a market share of 72%.</p> <p>According to Broadcom, the acquisition supports its software business and position to target the same type of large multinational enterprise customers. The company highlighted that its customers' demands include retaining control over their infrastructure by deploying applications that require software to develop and run the applications.</p> <blockquote><p>By adding VMware, we will bring significant scale to Broadcom's software business and reinforce our position as a premier provider of mission-critical platform solutions to enterprises globally. – Hock Tan, CEO</p></blockquote> <p>Additionally, management also highlighted the deal to target its common customer base. According to VMware, the company already serves 99% of Fortune 500 firms. In comparison, Broadcom’s software presentation highlighted that its software segment serves 80% of Fortune 500 firms. Thus, we believe that the acquisition of VMware could provide Broadcom with opportunities to strengthen its presence among enterprise customers by leveraging VMware’s solid market leadership and presence among the Fortune 500 firms and create revenue synergies for the company through upselling and cross-sell opportunities which are consistent to its overall software expansion strategy. Thus, we estimated its revenue synergies by calculating its software revenue based on its Fortune 500 customer presence pre-acquisition at 80% to 99% post-acquisition.</p> <span><table> <tr> <td><p><strong>Estimated Revenue Synergies ($ mln)</strong></p></td> <td><p><strong>2021 </strong></p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p>Broadcom Software Revenue ('a')</p></td> <td><p>7,067</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p>Enterprise Customer Presence (Pre-acquisition) ('b')</p></td> <td><p>80%</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p>Enterprise Customer Presence (Post-acquisition) ('c')</p></td> <td><p>99%</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p>Broadcom Estimated Software Revenue (With Increased Customer Presence) ('d')</p></td> <td><p>8,745</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p>Revenue Synergies ('e')</p></td> <td><p>1,678</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p>Revenue Synergies as % of Software Revenue</p></td> <td><p>24%</p></td> </tr> </table></span> <p><em>*d = a/b x c</em></p> <p><em>e = d – a </em></p> <p><em>Source: Broadcom, VMware, Khaveen Investments </em></p> <p>Based on the table above of our estimates of its revenue synergies, we expect the acquisition to generate $1,678 mln in revenue synergy opportunities for Broadcom’s software segment which is 24% of its 2021 segment revenue. Furthermore, Gartner highlighted in the quote below the synergies between Broadcom’s mainframe solutions with VMware’s Tanzu platform.</p> <blockquote><p>There are synergies with some of the CA tools for CI/CD and DevOps that could combine well with Tanzu, for those enterprises that are considering what to do with their legacy workloads, – Dennis Smith, Research <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VP..UK\">VP</a> in Gartner’s Infrastructure and Operations division</p></blockquote> <p>Furthermore, in line with its previous acquisitions including CA and Symantec’s enterprise security, the company explained that it is committed to shifting VMware’s perpetual license customers towards a subscription model.</p> <blockquote><p>The other top line is you can see that VMware has a perpetual model a lot in -- a lot of their on-prem licenses, they have a substantial $3 billion perpetual.

However, unlike prior acquisitions, the company indicated its intention to leverage VMware’s channel partner network. Thus, we forecasted VMware’s operating margins to reach 34.1% by 2025 based on its guided EBITDA target of $8.5 bln within 3 years post-acquisition completion. However, its margins are lower in comparison to Broadcom’s adjusted software margins at 42.9% and we expect it to weigh down on its overall operating margins to 28.8% in 2023 but gradually improve with the increase of VMware’s margins. Despite the lower margins, we still expect the company’s total operating income to continue growing driven by the higher revenue growth of VMware.</p> <h2><strong>Financial Impact</strong></h2> <p>Based on the deal, Broadcom will pay VMware shareholders either $142.50 in cash or 0.2520 shares of Broadcom for each VMware share subjected to proration resulting in 50% of VMware shares exchanged for cash and half for Broadcom stock.

Furthermore, we believe that Broadcom’s cash to debt would improve to 0.41x by 2026 from 0.24x in 2023 supported by its strong cash flow generating abilities with a forecasted average FCF margin of 29% beyond 2023. All in all, we believe that the company’s financials should be able to support this acquisition.</p> <h2><strong>Risk: Competitive Threats</strong></h2> <p>According to Forrester Research, it highlighted that the company could be faced with challenges from other competitors such as Nutanix (NTNX), <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IBM\">IBM</a> Red Hat (IBM) and the major public cloud players like AWS (AMZN), Microsoft Azure (MSFT) and Google Cloud (GOOG). While VMware had dominated the virtualization software market, according to VMware’s annual report, the company highlighted that it faces the risk of new applications being developed on public cloud providers which could reduce the demand for its products and services. However, the company had also partnered with cloud providers such as Microsoft which also competes against VMware with its Hyper V software. Additionally, other cloud-based competitors include Oracle (ORCL) VM server and Enterprise Linux with Smart Virtualization by Red Hat.</p> <h2><strong>Valuation</strong></h2> <p>We valued the company with a DCF valuation as we expect the company to continue generating positive free cash flows post-acquisition.

Although we expect its equity value to decrease with the acquisition, however, we projected its average FCFs to increase with the acquisition with a difference of $7.7 bln in the 5 years post-acquisition.</p> <h2><strong>Verdict </strong></h2> <p>To conclude, we analyzed the company’s planned acquisition of VMware at a cost of around $59 bln based on a mix of cash and debt expected to be completed in FY2023. Not only is the deal expected to contribute 85% of revenue increase for the company and represent 32% of its total revenue, but we also expect the deal to create revenue synergy opportunities for the company as the market leader in virtualization software and have a common customer base of enterprise customers at an estimate of $1.9 bln. Also, we believe its shift towards a subscription model could support its revenue growth acceleration at an average of 17% from its past 5-year average of 11.6%. Moreover, we believe that through the integration of its sales force and elimination of redundancies, the VMware’s operating margins could increase to 34.1% by 2025 from 19.1%. While this is lower than Broadcom’s margins, we expect its operating income to continue growing due to VMware’s superior revenue growth.</p> <p>While we expect a financial impact on the company post-acquisition with its FCF margins forecasted to decline to -34.7% and its debt to increase by 65%, we believe that the acquisition is still positive as we expect its capital structure to improve with a reduced WACC to 7.4% from 8.1%. Additionally, despite the increase in its debt, its debt weight would increase to only 28.5% from 19.4% previously. Moreover, we forecasted its cash-to-debt ratio to improve to 0.41x by 2026 supported by its strong cash-generating abilities with a forecasted average FCF margin of 29% through 2026.</p> <p>Most importantly, compared to our previous analysis, our forecasted revenue growth accounting for the acquisition has increased to a 5-year forward of 22% compared to 8.8% in our previous analysis. Overall, we rate the company as a <em>Strong Buy </em>with a target price of <em>$730.80.</em></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>Broadcom: Acquisition Of VMware Provides 32% Revenue Boost</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\">\nBroadcom: Acquisition Of VMware Provides 32% Revenue Boost\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-06-29 07:20 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4520836-broadcom-acquisition-of-vmware-provides-32-percent-revenue-boost><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News Broadcom Inc.

(NASDAQ:AVGO) is a leading semiconductor company with a broad portfolio of patents (over 23,000) and market leadership in niche products of logic semiconductors such as ethernet switches (76%) and ASICs (35%) and analog semiconductors including fibre channel (75%). Also, we know that Broadcom has had an acquisition strategy based on its past M&A activities since 1960. We determined that its M&A strategy had been beneficial to its revenue growth, with M&A contributing to 54% of total revenue growth in the past 10 years. Furthermore, we believed its acquisition of CA Technologies highlights its continued diversification into the software industry and confirmed its expansion with the acquisition of Symantec’s enterprise security business. Moreover, its software expansion is supported by its partnerships with major cloud service provider Google Cloud by migrating its suite of enterprise software to the cloud, improving its scale and deployment efficiencies. Following these acquisitions, we confirmed the integration of its infrastructure software businesses with the launch of integrated products and improved its profitability by leveraging its common customer base to streamline its SG&A activities and increase its focus on R&D. Additionally, we determined that Broadcom has a dividend payment strategy based on cash flows (50%) and we forecasted its dividends per share to grow by 18% on average through 2024 based on expected cash flows. However, we see the company's high and rising debt levels could be a concern for its acquisition strategy. Recently, the company announced its acquisition of VMware (VMW) for a consideration of approximately $61 bln from an even split between cash and stock. This is expected to be completed by FY2023. The announcement of the deal is unsurprising to us, as we understood that the company has an acquisition strategy based on its past M&A activity since 1960. Previously, we already analyzed and expected the company to continue its diversification into the software industry as we saw it more progressively moving into software with 3 acquisitions, starting with Brocade in 2017 and expanding through its acquisitions such as CA Technologies in 2018 and Symantec Enterprise Security in 2019. To determine the impact of the acquisition on the company, we first analyzed VMware’s products and customers. We estimated its potential revenue synergies by determining whether it serves a common customer base with Broadcom which are enterprise customers based on its business relationships with the Fortune 500 firms. Additionally, we then examined whether Broadcom is planning to shift VMware’s license customers to subscriptions and projected its revenue growth and contribution to Broadcom. Moreover, we examined the potential for integration opportunities between Broadcom and VMware by targeting a common customer base on its operating expenses including SG&A and R&D by comparing Broadcom’s software segment margins with its previous acquisitions. We then projected the company’s operating margins through 2026 based on management's targeted EBITDA contribution. Lastly, we analyzed the deal’s acquisition cost with a mix of cash and stock to determine its impact on its cash flows and net debt through 2026. Also, we determined and analyzed its WACC pre-and post-acquisition with the increased debt. VMware Revenue Opportunity VMware provides a “core cloud infrastructure that powers modern enterprises.” The company’s product portfolio includes its vSphere server virtualization platform, vSAN data storage virtualization solution, vRealize cloud management platform that provides automation, analytics and life cycle management for private cloud workloads and NSX. Besides that, VMware's Tanzu platform “provides an end-to-end modern application management platform and end-user and security solutions.” According to Gartner (IT), VMware was the market leader in the global virtualization infrastructure software market in 2021 with a market share of 72%. According to Broadcom, the acquisition supports its software business and position to target the same type of large multinational enterprise customers. The company highlighted that its customers' demands include retaining control over their infrastructure by deploying applications that require software to develop and run the applications. By adding VMware, we will bring significant scale to Broadcom's software business and reinforce our position as a premier provider of mission-critical platform solutions to enterprises globally. – Hock Tan, CEO Additionally, management also highlighted the deal to target its common customer base. According to VMware, the company already serves 99% of Fortune 500 firms. In comparison, Broadcom’s software presentation highlighted that its software segment serves 80% of Fortune 500 firms. Thus, we believe that the acquisition of VMware could provide Broadcom with opportunities to strengthen its presence among enterprise customers by leveraging VMware’s solid market leadership and presence among the Fortune 500 firms and create revenue synergies for the company through upselling and cross-sell opportunities which are consistent to its overall software expansion strategy. Thus, we estimated its revenue synergies by calculating its software revenue based on its Fortune 500 customer presence pre-acquisition at 80% to 99% post-acquisition.

Furthermore, Gartner highlighted in the quote below the synergies between Broadcom’s mainframe solutions with VMware’s Tanzu platform. There are synergies with some of the CA tools for CI/CD and DevOps that could combine well with Tanzu, for those enterprises that are considering what to do with their legacy workloads, – Dennis Smith, Research VP in Gartner’s Infrastructure and Operations division Furthermore, in line with its previous acquisitions including CA and Symantec’s enterprise security, the company explained that it is committed to shifting VMware’s perpetual license customers towards a subscription model. The other top line is you can see that VMware has a perpetual model a lot in -- a lot of their on-prem licenses, they have a substantial $3 billion perpetual. And we are converting them to over time -- over the next couple of years to subscription. – Hock Tan, CEO   VMware Revenue Projections ($ mln) 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022F 2023F 2024F 2025F 2026F   License (switch to a subscription model) 2,350 2,628 3,042 3,181 3,033 3,128 3,320 3,801 4,671 6,130 8,046   Growth % -2.2% 11.8% 15.8% 4.6% -4.7% 3.1% 6.1% 14.5% 22.9% 31.3% 31.3%   Subscription and SaaS 687 927 1,303 1,877 2,587 3,205 3,596 4,720 6,195 8,131 10,672   Growth % 36.9% 34.9% 40.6% 44.1% 37.8% 23.9% 31.3% 31.3% 31.3% 31.3% 31.3%   Services 4,403 4,781 5,268 5,753 6,147 6,518 7,051 7,627 8,250 8,924 9,654   Growth % 9.7% 8.6% 10.2% 9.2% 6.8% 6.0% 8.2% 8.2% 8.2% 8.2% 8.2%   Total 7,440 8,336 9,613 10,811 11,767 12,851 13,966 16,148 19,116 23,186 28,372   Growth % 7.5% 12.0% 15.3% 12.5% 8.8% 9.2% 8.7% 15.6% 18.4% 21.3% 22.4%   Source: VMWare, Khaveen Investments  Based on VMware’s revenue breakdown, its subscription service represented 25% of its total revenues and was its fastest-growing segment with 10-year average revenue growth of 36.4%. On the other hand, its license revenue was 24% of its total revenue with an average growth rate of 4.7%. We forecasted VMware’s revenue based on its license, subscription and segment revenue based on its past 5-year average growth rate. For its subscription segment, we tapered down its average growth by 5% as a conservative estimate. To account for the switch from license revenue to subscriptions, we assumed its revenue growth to accelerate to 31.3% by 2025 based on its average subscription growth rate tapered down by 5% (31.3%).

In comparison, its 2-year average software segment post-acquisition had an average growth rate of 17.5% which we believe highlights its revenue growth acceleration following Broadcom’s shifting its focus on enterprise clients and from a license to a subscription model. Therefore, we expect VMware growth to accelerate following its acquisition as the company shifts towards subscriptions as well and we forecasted its 2-year average growth post-acquisition to increase to 17% from 11.6%. According to Broadcom, the deal is expected to be completed by FY2023 subject to regulatory and shareholder approval. Based on our revenue projections for Broadcom from our previous analysis, we factored in VMware’s revenue contribution in FY2023.

Additionally, as VMware’s presence among the Fortune 500 firms is 99% and higher than Broadcom (80%), we believe this could provide revenue synergy creation and forecasted its revenue synergies to be $1.9bln across 3 years. In FY2023, we expect VMware’s revenue to account for 32.2% of its total revenues and represent 85% of its revenue increase for the year. Beyond that, we expect through the shift towards subscriptions, its revenue growth to accelerate at an average growth rate of 17% in 2 years post-acquisition. Integration with VMware  As highlighted from our previous analysis, we believe another key opportunity for Broadcom is to integrate its acquired companies selling & admin operations with its sales force and provide an opportunity to leverage Broadcom’s existing relationships with key enterprise clients. This is as its SG&A as a % of revenue declined while its R&D expenses increase as it shifted its focus on R&D. Moreover, we compared Broadcom’s Infrastructure Software segment operating margin in the table below. We adjusted its Infrastructure Software segment margin with its unallocated expenses of $1.9 bln which we prorated based on its segment revenue breakdown.   Margins Operating Margins %   CA Technologies (pre-acquisition) 28.12%   Brocade (pre-acquisition) 13.09%   Symantec Enterprise Security (pre-acquisition) 18.52%   Broadcom Adjusted Software Segment (current) 42.91%   Source: Broadcom, CA, Brocade, Symantec, Khaveen Investments  From the table above, Broadcom’s adjusted software margins (42.91%) were higher than CA Technologies (28.12%), Brocade (13.09%) and Symantec’s Enterprise Security (18.52%) margins pre-acquisition. Additionally, in the table below, Broadcom’s adjusted software segment margins had also consistently increased in the past 3 years from 28.2% in 2019 to 42.9% in 2021.   Broadcom  2019 2020 2021   Infrastructure Software Revenue ($ mln) 5,156 6,621 7,067   Infrastructure Software Adjusted Margin 28.2% 28.5% 42.9%   Source: Broadcom, Khaveen Investments  To compare the margins and expense breakdown between VMware and Broadcom’s software segment, we examined its SG&A and R&D expenses as a % of revenue after adjusting for Broadcom’s unallocated expenses in the table below.   Expenses  VMware Broadcom Infrastructure Software    SG&A Expenses as % of revenue 39.5% 17.6%   R&D Expenses as % of revenue 23.8% 29.0%   Operating Margins 19.1% 42.9%   Source: Broadcom, VMware, Khaveen Investments  Based on VMware’s operating expense breakdown, its SG&A expenses were the largest expense at 39.5% of revenue followed by R&D at 23.8% of revenue. In contrast, Broadcom has a lower SG&A but higher R&D spending for its software segment and had a higher operating margin of 42.9% compared to VMware at only 19.1%. From its earnings briefing, Broadcom’s management highlighted its opportunity to derive synergies to reduce its SG&A through the integration of its direct sales force with VMware. And so we have a direct sales force, and we're going to leverage the fact that we have common coverage in both of those areas and take advantage of getting synergies there. – Tom Krause, CFO Additionally, the company also highlighted potential employee layoffs as it mentioned to “eliminate duplicative administrative functions” across “IT, finance, legal, human resources and facilities”. However, a difference in this acquisition compared to its past acquisitions is that the company had also indicated that it intends to retain VMware’s channel distribution model. Based on its annual report, VMware has a channel partner network including system integrators and resellers. And we think from learning about how we and Symantec, and frankly some of the revenues that we gave up, we think we can actually go back and reinvest in the channel and continue to drive revenue growth profitably. We don't want to walk away from the channel. We actually want to embrace it, – Tom Krause, CFO According to the company, it expects the acquisition to generate $8.5 bln in EBITDA within 3 years following the deal closing. Based on its target, we calculated the expected operating margin in 2025 assuming the deal closes in 2023 and depreciation of $593 mln to derive its EBIT target of $7,907 mln which we estimate to be an operating margin of 33.2% based on our revenue forecast in 2025 from the previous point.

However, unlike prior acquisitions, the company indicated its intention to leverage VMware’s channel partner network. Thus, we forecasted VMware’s operating margins to reach 34.1% by 2025 based on its guided EBITDA target of $8.5 bln within 3 years post-acquisition completion. However, its margins are lower in comparison to Broadcom’s adjusted software margins at 42.9% and we expect it to weigh down on its overall operating margins to 28.8% in 2023 but gradually improve with the increase of VMware’s margins. Despite the lower margins, we still expect the company’s total operating income to continue growing driven by the higher revenue growth of VMware. Financial Impact Based on the deal, Broadcom will pay VMware shareholders either $142.50 in cash or 0.2520 shares of Broadcom for each VMware share subjected to proration resulting in 50% of VMware shares exchanged for cash and half for Broadcom stock. Based on our calculations, we derived a total consideration of $59bln compared to its approximation of $61 bln from the announcement.

Beyond that, we forecasted its average FCF margin of 29%. Additionally, Broadcom obtained commitments from a consortium of banks for $32 bln in debt financing. Additionally, the company will assume $8 bln of net debt from VMware according to Broadcom. Broadcom, VMware, Khaveen Investments Assuming the deal is completed by FY2023 as planned, we forecasted Broadcom’s debt to increase by 64.7% in 2023 and its cash to debt ratio to be impacted from 0.33x in 2022 to 0.24x in 2023. Due to the strong FCF cash generation of Broadcom, our model shows its cash to debt ratio recovering to 0.41x by 2026.

Moreover, its EBITDA/Net debt had remained stagnant in the past 10 years to 0.4x in 2021. Overall, we believe this highlights its deteriorating ability to repay its debt obligations with its increased debt.

Based on the table, we expect its debt weight to increase from 19.4% to 28.5%. As its cost of debt (2.1%) is lower than its cost of equity (9.6%), its post-acquisition WACC shows a decline to 7.4% from 8.1%. Overall, while we expect the deal to weigh on Broadcom’s FCF margin in FY2023 at -34.7% with an acquisition cost of $59 bln and increase its debt by 65%, however, we still believe the acquisition could provide a positive contribution to the company’s financials with a better capital structure with a lower WACC from 8.1% to 7.4% due to the increase of its debt weight to 28.5%. Furthermore, we believe that Broadcom’s cash to debt would improve to 0.41x by 2026 from 0.24x in 2023 supported by its strong cash flow generating abilities with a forecasted average FCF margin of 29% beyond 2023. All in all, we believe that the company’s financials should be able to support this acquisition. Risk: Competitive Threats According to Forrester Research, it highlighted that the company could be faced with challenges from other competitors such as Nutanix (NTNX), IBM Red Hat (IBM) and the major public cloud players like AWS (AMZN), Microsoft Azure (MSFT) and Google Cloud (GOOG). While VMware had dominated the virtualization software market, according to VMware’s annual report, the company highlighted that it faces the risk of new applications being developed on public cloud providers which could reduce the demand for its products and services. However, the company had also partnered with cloud providers such as Microsoft which also competes against VMware with its Hyper V software. Additionally, other cloud-based competitors include Oracle (ORCL) VM server and Enterprise Linux with Smart Virtualization by Red Hat. Valuation We valued the company with a DCF valuation as we expect the company to continue generating positive free cash flows post-acquisition. We based its terminal value on the chipmaker's average EV/EBITDA of 18.44x. SeekingAlpha, Khaveen Investments Based on a discount rate of 7.4% (company’s WACC post-acquisition) and accounting for its post-acquisition share outstanding of 615 mln, our model shows an upside of 44.5% Khaveen Investments   Equity Value ($mln) Pre-Acquisition Post-Acquisition   Enterprise Value 488,064 488,064   Plus: Cash 10,219 19,719   Less: Debt 49,152 81,495   Less: Minority Interest - -   Equity Value 449,131 426,288   Average FCF (5-year Forward) 12,948 20,696   Source: Khaveen Investments  Additionally, following the acquisition, we estimated its equity value to decrease to $426 bln from $449 bln due to the increase of its debt from $49 bln to $81.5 bln despite the increase of its cash from $10 bln to $19.7 bln. Although we expect its equity value to decrease with the acquisition, however, we projected its average FCFs to increase with the acquisition with a difference of $7.7 bln in the 5 years post-acquisition. Verdict  To conclude, we analyzed the company’s planned acquisition of VMware at a cost of around $59 bln based on a mix of cash and debt expected to be completed in FY2023. Not only is the deal expected to contribute 85% of revenue increase for the company and represent 32% of its total revenue, but we also expect the deal to create revenue synergy opportunities for the company as the market leader in virtualization software and have a common customer base of enterprise customers at an estimate of $1.9 bln. Also, we believe its shift towards a subscription model could support its revenue growth acceleration at an average of 17% from its past 5-year average of 11.6%. Moreover, we believe that through the integration of its sales force and elimination of redundancies, the VMware’s operating margins could increase to 34.1% by 2025 from 19.1%. While this is lower than Broadcom’s margins, we expect its operating income to continue growing due to VMware’s superior revenue growth. While we expect a financial impact on the company post-acquisition with its FCF margins forecasted to decline to -34.7% and its debt to increase by 65%, we believe that the acquisition is still positive as we expect its capital structure to improve with a reduced WACC to 7.4% from 8.1%. Additionally, despite the increase in its debt, its debt weight would increase to only 28.5% from 19.4% previously.

For the entire fourth quarter, DocuSign is forecast to report EPS of $0.47 on revenues of $561.47 million. Wall Street will be looking for signs that DocuSign can sustain its growth long-term once the pandemic is behind us for good.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":89,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9094113747,"gmtCreate":1645078178322,"gmtModify":1676533995091,"author":{"id":"3572907325602131","authorId":"3572907325602131","name":"Xkuanx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e90936aad3336fa7f5cc5bc70cbab1fc","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9094113747","repostId":"1170326229","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1170326229","pubTimestamp":1645062276,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1170326229?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-02-17 09:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Stock Can Survive and Thrive Even Without Cheap Cars","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1170326229","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA) continues to come out on top, even when Wall Street wants to knock it down.

Why Wall Street Thinks a Pullback Is Coming.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105074635","media":"Barrons","summary":"S&P 500 index funds will tumble by Christmas, one Wall Street strategist predicts. Not necessarily, ","content":"<p>S&amp;P 500 index funds will tumble by Christmas, one Wall Street strategist predicts. Not necessarily, says another—but they’ll lose money over the next decade. I can’t decide whether to panic or just sulk.</p>\n<p>The index decides the fate of more than $5 trillion in linked investor assets. My only exposure is in my retirement, joint, college, healthcare, and, come to think of it, all other investment accounts. I don’t think my Chipotle Rewards account is affected, but I haven’t read the small print.</p>\n<p>The concern, of course, is that S&amp;P 500 trackers have had it too good for too long. The index has returned 376% over the past decade, or close to 17% a year, compounded. Among active managers tasked with beating the index, four out of five failed during the 10 years through 2020.</p>\n<p>For Bogleheads, as devotees of the late Vanguard founder and indexing pioneer John Bogle call themselves, the explanation is simple: Stock-picking is futile. But if that’s so, the typical active manager should do no better or worse than indexes on underlying stock performance, and underperform only to the extent he or she charges extra fees. In fact, they have trailed over 10 years by an average of 2.5% a year. Stinking that badly is a skill of its own—one that theoretically shouldn’t exist.</p>\n<p>Another explanation is that the S&amp;P 500’s popularity has created its own tailwind. “Flows into index funds raise the prices of large stocks,” conclude researchers from Michigan State University, the London School of Economics, and the University of California, Irvine,in a working paper&nbsp;that has been circulating since late last year. By now, you’ve heard that five companies&nbsp;—&nbsp;Apple,Microsoft,Alphabet,Amazon.com,and&nbsp;Facebook—combined for one-quarter of the S&amp;P 500’s market value. But all are still growing nicely, so why worry now?</p>\n<p>This past Tuesday, Lisa Shalett, chief investment officer at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, predicted a 10% to 15% slide for the S&amp;P 500 before year’s end, but she says that doesn’t make her bearish. She points out that most 12-month stretches contain a big pullback for the index, but that we haven’t had one since March 2020. Tech giants, she has noticed, have lately traded hand-in-hand with Treasuries, suggesting that investors have come to view them as havens.</p>\n<p>“Owning the index today in a global context is a relatively defensive position, and we believe that it’s time to play offense,” she says.</p>\n<p>In Shalett’s view, interest rates will rise as global economies rebound, putting pressure on stock valuations. She predicts upside earnings surprises and stock outperformance for cyclical sectors like financials, industrials, energy, and materials, and for some pockets of consumer services and healthcare. “We’re very excited about buying a lot of different stocks,” she says. “We’re just not super-psyched about owning the index.”</p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Bank of America Securities issued a similarly mixed signal. It raised its year-end S&amp;P 500 target from 3800 all the way to 4250, which sounds optimistic. But it referred to the change as a mark to market—something typically done obligingly by accountants, not enthusiastically by forecasters. Also, the new target implies a decline of 5% or so from recent levels. Indexers have already made an easy 20% this year, so why sweat a holiday haircut? Because the bank is also predicting a 10-year average loss in the index of 0.8% a year.</p>\n<p>It’s devilishly difficult to predict short-term stock market returns. I tend to follow such forecasts more for the rationales than the targets. But long-term returns might be more closely linked than short-term ones to starting valuations, making forecasting more feasible. BofA says one measure has predicted about 80% of 10-year returns for the S&amp;P 500 since 1987: the ratio of the index’s price to what the bank calls its normalized earnings for the past 12 months. A typical reading is 19. The latest is 29.

Not necessarily, says another—but they’ll lose money over the next decade. I can’t decide whether to panic or just sulk.\nThe index decides the fate of more than $5 trillion in linked investor assets. My only exposure is in my retirement, joint, college, healthcare, and, come to think of it, all other investment accounts. I don’t think my Chipotle Rewards account is affected, but I haven’t read the small print.\nThe concern, of course, is that S&P 500 trackers have had it too good for too long. The index has returned 376% over the past decade, or close to 17% a year, compounded. Among active managers tasked with beating the index, four out of five failed during the 10 years through 2020.\nFor Bogleheads, as devotees of the late Vanguard founder and indexing pioneer John Bogle call themselves, the explanation is simple: Stock-picking is futile. But if that’s so, the typical active manager should do no better or worse than indexes on underlying stock performance, and underperform only to the extent he or she charges extra fees. In fact, they have trailed over 10 years by an average of 2.5% a year. Stinking that badly is a skill of its own—one that theoretically shouldn’t exist.\nAnother explanation is that the S&P 500’s popularity has created its own tailwind. “Flows into index funds raise the prices of large stocks,” conclude researchers from Michigan State University, the London School of Economics, and the University of California, Irvine,in a working paper that has been circulating since late last year. By now, you’ve heard that five companies — Apple,Microsoft,Alphabet,Amazon.com,and Facebook—combined for one-quarter of the S&P 500’s market value. But all are still growing nicely, so why worry now?\nThis past Tuesday, Lisa Shalett, chief investment officer at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, predicted a 10% to 15% slide for the S&P 500 before year’s end, but she says that doesn’t make her bearish. She points out that most 12-month stretches contain a big pullback for the index, but that we haven’t had one since March 2020. Tech giants, she has noticed, have lately traded hand-in-hand with Treasuries, suggesting that investors have come to view them as havens.\n“Owning the index today in a global context is a relatively defensive position, and we believe that it’s time to play offense,” she says.\nIn Shalett’s view, interest rates will rise as global economies rebound, putting pressure on stock valuations. She predicts upside earnings surprises and stock outperformance for cyclical sectors like financials, industrials, energy, and materials, and for some pockets of consumer services and healthcare. “We’re very excited about buying a lot of different stocks,” she says. “We’re just not super-psyched about owning the index.”\nOn Wednesday, Bank of America Securities issued a similarly mixed signal. It raised its year-end S&P 500 target from 3800 all the way to 4250, which sounds optimistic. But it referred to the change as a mark to market—something typically done obligingly by accountants, not enthusiastically by forecasters. Also, the new target implies a decline of 5% or so from recent levels. Indexers have already made an easy 20% this year, so why sweat a holiday haircut? Because the bank is also predicting a 10-year average loss in the index of 0.8% a year.\nIt’s devilishly difficult to predict short-term stock market returns. I tend to follow such forecasts more for the rationales than the targets. But long-term returns might be more closely linked than short-term ones to starting valuations, making forecasting more feasible. BofA says one measure has predicted about 80% of 10-year returns for the S&P 500 since 1987: the ratio of the index’s price to what the bank calls its normalized earnings for the past 12 months. A typical reading is 19. The latest is 29. That has nudged the model’s predicted 10-year return below zero for the first time since 1999.\nBofA’s prescription is to buy dividend-growers and inflation beneficiaries like energy, financials, and materials. It also likes small-cap stocks, which it says are more closely tied than large-caps to U.S. economic growth, and have valuations that point to positive 10-year returns.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":16,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":185061817,"gmtCreate":1623627484639,"gmtModify":1704207084941,"author":{"id":"3572907325602131","authorId":"3572907325602131","name":"Xkuanx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e90936aad3336fa7f5cc5bc70cbab1fc","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/185061817","repostId":"1132051258","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":40,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379111505,"gmtCreate":1618705471307,"gmtModify":1704714112210,"author":{"id":"3572907325602131","authorId":"3572907325602131","name":"Xkuanx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e90936aad3336fa7f5cc5bc70cbab1fc","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Slowly recover","listText":"Slowly recover","text":"Slowly recover","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379111505","repostId":"1155509413","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155509413","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1618587639,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1155509413?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-16 23:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Taiwan's Drought Poses Additional Threat To Looming Global Chip Crisis: WSJ","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155509413","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Taiwan’s severe drought could aggravate the ongoing global chip crisis as semiconductor producers required a massive water supply to clean the wafer base, etch patterns, polish layers and rinse components throughout the manufacturing process, the Wall Street Journal reports.Taiwan’s semiconductor wafer-fabrication factories  accounted for two-thirds of the global manufacturing capacity.

Part of the exuberance for the company came from an overly optimistic view of how fast EV companies will grow. But Nio's stock has fallen 60% over the past year. This huge drop has caused many investors to ask whether or not Nio is a good stock to buy right now.To answer that question, let's take a closer look at what is going right for Nio right now, and what hurdles the company is facing.What's going right for Nio right nowAll start-up companies need a lot of cash to get off the ground, and Nio is doing fantastic on this front.The company ended the third quarter with $7.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents, giving Nio plenty of money to keep its company running for a while.Not only is Nio well-funded, but the company has also done an impressive job of ramping up vehicle deliveries over the past few years. In the fourth quarter vehicle deliveries rose 60% to 40,052. And for all of 2022 deliveries increased by 34% to 122,486.Nio's revenue is also climbing quickly, with revenue up 32% to $1.8 billion in the third quarter. While Nio has already released its fourth-quarter delivery figures, it won't release its fourth-quarter financial results until next month.Finally, Nio is benefiting from the fact that China is the world's largest automotive market, and EV adoption in the country is one of the highest globally.In the first half of 2022, China accounted for 56% of global passenger EV sales -- up from 48% in 2021, according to Bloomberg research.What's going wrong for NioBased on all of the above, it's not surprising that some investors have been bullish on Nio. But there are also some significant hurdles that the company faces that could slow down the company's growth story.First, while Nio's deliveries have accelerated over the past few years, the company is facing a slowdown right now. The company said in a statement in December that it faced delivery and production challenges because of the recent coronavirus outbreak in China.As a result, the company's deliveries of 40,000 vehicles for the fourth quarter were below management's original estimates of between 43,000 to 48,000 vehicles.An economic slowdown would be problematic for Nio and other automakers, as consumers may be inclined to put off large purchases until the economy rebounds.Some EV makers, including Tesla, have already had to cut vehicle prices in China to spur demand.Making matters worse, Nio's gross margins are decreasing. In the third quarter Nio's gross margins fell to 13.3%, down from 20.3% in 2021 in the year-ago quarter.An increase in battery costs, a decrease in government automotive credits, and an increase in investments all weighed down on Nio's margins.Nio stock isn't a buy right nowNio's stock may look cheap right now with the company's price-to-sales ratio of 2.7, but for all of the reasons listed above I'd be hesitant to buy Nio stock right now.Nio is still unprofitable, and with gross margins moving in the wrong direction there's still more uncertainty for Nio ahead.All of this makes Nio a risky investment right now, and one that I think investors should avoid.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":312,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":189524946,"gmtCreate":1623282638285,"gmtModify":1704199892923,"author":{"id":"3572907325602131","authorId":"3572907325602131","name":"Xkuanx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e90936aad3336fa7f5cc5bc70cbab1fc","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SENS\">$Senseonics(SENS)$</a>Stay long guys ??","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SENS\">$Senseonics(SENS)$</a>Stay long guys ??","text":"$Senseonics(SENS)$Stay long guys ??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/189524946","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":98,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":114631729,"gmtCreate":1623071511861,"gmtModify":1704195417088,"author":{"id":"3572907325602131","authorId":"3572907325602131","name":"Xkuanx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e90936aad3336fa7f5cc5bc70cbab1fc","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SENS\">$Senseonics(SENS)$</a>Another good run today!!","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SENS\">$Senseonics(SENS)$</a>Another good run today!!","text":"$Senseonics(SENS)$Another good run today!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/114631729","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1070,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":346168360,"gmtCreate":1618015128350,"gmtModify":1704705920095,"author":{"id":"3572907325602131","authorId":"3572907325602131","name":"Xkuanx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e90936aad3336fa7f5cc5bc70cbab1fc","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"That’s good","listText":"That’s good","text":"That’s good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/346168360","repostId":"1136941144","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1136941144","pubTimestamp":1617980884,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1136941144?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-09 23:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Biden Boosts Health, Education in $1.52 Trillion Budget Request","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1136941144","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"White House releases outline of budget request for 2022\nCongress likely to significantly reshape pla","content":"<ul>\n <li>White House releases outline of budget request for 2022</li>\n <li>Congress likely to significantly reshape plan in coming months</li>\n</ul>\n<p>President Joe Biden proposed major boosts in funding to combat inequality, disease and climate change as part of a $1.52 trillion budget request for 2022, part of his wider push to redefine the role of government in American lives.</p>\n<p>The administration’s outline, released by the White House Friday, kicks off a months-long process in which Congress is likely to significantly reshape the priorities, given stiff Republican opposition to many of the proposals. But the outline showcases how Biden is trying to bend the federal government toward a much greater role in the provision of health care and education.</p>\n<p>Combined with the $1.9 trillion pandemic-relief bill signed last month and a $2.25 trillion infrastructure-and-jobs proposal, the budget marks Biden’s third foray into using the power of the federal government to radically expand help for lower-income and middle-class Americans. A further social-spending package is also coming, all before Biden’s first 100 days have passed.</p>\n<p>Biden on Friday asked for a 15.9% jump in regular non-defense domestic spending for the fiscal year starting in October, with a more than 40% increase in education spending and a 23% jump for health. The overall budget request is an 8.4% boost from the current year, when excluding emergency spending for the pandemic.</p>\n<p>While there’s extra money for Internal Revenue Service enforcement, the plan doesn’t include the tax hikes on individuals that Biden is planning to unveil in coming weeks to help fund his broader expansion in fiscal spending.</p>\n<p><b>‘More Inclusive’</b></p>\n<p>There’s $14 billion extra to address climate change, $20 billion more for high-poverty schools and $6.5 billion for launching a new research agency to develop new treatments and cures for diseases -- along the lines of the Defense Department’s DARPA.</p>\n<p>“This moment of crisis is also a moment of possibility,” acting budget director Shalanda Young said in a message to lawmakers Friday. “Together, America has a chance not simply to go back to the way things were before the Covid-19 pandemic and economic downturn struck, but to begin building a better, stronger, more secure, more inclusive America.”</p>\n<p>The fiscal 2022 budget request comes on top of last week’s proposed eight-year infrastructure-led package, and a forthcoming, longer-term social-spending program expected to total around $1 trillion.</p>\n<p>Unlike those other proposals, the Democrats will need Republican votes in the Senate to pass the annual appropriations bills into which the budget is divided, according to the chamber’s rules. That means getting at least 10 GOP members aboard.</p>\n<p><b>Defense Spending</b></p>\n<p>Republican lawmakers are certain to take issue with many of Biden’s requests.</p>\n<p>The outline has $753 billion for defense programs in the upcoming fiscal year, which represents just a 1.7% increase -- significantly below the 4% to 5% bump advocated by GOP leaders, and a break with recent tradition of keeping defense and non-defense increases on the same scale.</p>\n<p>The White House argued that domestic investments have waned in recent years, and that Biden’s proposed boost on that side of the ledger would simply return the country’s non-defense spending to around the historic norm of 3.3% of gross domestic product.</p>\n<p>Biden includes no money for border-wall construction, canceling unspent funds from previous years, and has asked for $232 million more to study and investigate domestic terrorism in the wake of the insurrection by supporters of former President Donald Trump at the U.S. Capitol.</p>\n<p><b>No Caps</b></p>\n<p>The president’s 2022 request -- which involves just discretionary spending, and not entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security -- comes without the budget caps that have been in place for a decade. The expiration of those caps, agreed to between the Obama administration and congressional Republicans, has been described by White House officials as an opportunity to pursue investments in areas like education, clean energy and public health.</p>\n<p>“Over the past decade, due in large measure to overly restrictive budget caps, the nation significantly under-invested in core public services, benefits and protections,” Young said.</p>\n<p>And though presidential budgets are routinely ignored on Capitol Hill, administration officials are hopeful the top-line numbers can offer an early guidepost for fellow Democrats who narrowly control both chambers of Congress.</p>\n<p>Priorities identified by the administration include:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>A $3.9 billion increase in funding to battle the opioid epidemic</li>\n <li>$232 million in new money for Department of Justice gun violence prevention programs</li>\n <li>More than $1.2 billion in new spending for aid to Central America, and asylum adjudication amid a surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Biden is asking Congress to spend $14 billion more on climate programs across the U.S. government, with some $10 billion targeted to clean energy innovation. Much of the funding would go to Energy Department initiatives, including the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Climate, with support for high-risk ventures that offer the potential for changes in the way electricity is generated and used.</p>\n<p>He envisions a $1.4 billion increase for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, enabling greater work on climate observations and forecasting, and $600 million to buy electric vehicles and equipment for federal agencies such as the U.S. Postal Service, which is in theprocess of turning over its fleet. Another $800 million would go toward making public and assisted housing more energy efficient.</p>\n<p>Biden also calls for an additional $1.2 billion for the Internal Revenue Service to boost oversight of corporations and wealthy taxpayers and improve IRS customer service. It also calls for amulti-year allocation of $417 million to fund audits, which the White House hopes will bring in more revenues from businesses and wealthy taxpayers.</p>\n<p><b>Amtrak Money</b></p>\n<p>The Commerce Department would see a 28% increase --including a doubling of funds for manufacturing-related programs under the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Amtrak -- long favored by Biden -- receives a 35% increase.</p>\n<p>Biden’s budget proposal arrives months later than the usual timeline, and it lacks many of the details -- including plans for raising revenues, economic assumptions and a 10-year outlook -- that ordinarily accompany funding requests.</p>\n<p>Appropriations for 2022 need to be enacted before Oct. 1 to avert a government shutdown.</p>","source":"lsy1584095487587","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

But the outline showcases how Biden is trying to bend the federal government toward a much greater role in the provision of health care and education.\nCombined with the $1.9 trillion pandemic-relief bill signed last month and a $2.25 trillion infrastructure-and-jobs proposal, the budget marks Biden’s third foray into using the power of the federal government to radically expand help for lower-income and middle-class Americans. A further social-spending package is also coming, all before Biden’s first 100 days have passed.\nBiden on Friday asked for a 15.9% jump in regular non-defense domestic spending for the fiscal year starting in October, with a more than 40% increase in education spending and a 23% jump for health. The overall budget request is an 8.4% boost from the current year, when excluding emergency spending for the pandemic.\nWhile there’s extra money for Internal Revenue Service enforcement, the plan doesn’t include the tax hikes on individuals that Biden is planning to unveil in coming weeks to help fund his broader expansion in fiscal spending.\n‘More Inclusive’\nThere’s $14 billion extra to address climate change, $20 billion more for high-poverty schools and $6.5 billion for launching a new research agency to develop new treatments and cures for diseases -- along the lines of the Defense Department’s DARPA.\n“This moment of crisis is also a moment of possibility,” acting budget director Shalanda Young said in a message to lawmakers Friday. “Together, America has a chance not simply to go back to the way things were before the Covid-19 pandemic and economic downturn struck, but to begin building a better, stronger, more secure, more inclusive America.”\nThe fiscal 2022 budget request comes on top of last week’s proposed eight-year infrastructure-led package, and a forthcoming, longer-term social-spending program expected to total around $1 trillion.\nUnlike those other proposals, the Democrats will need Republican votes in the Senate to pass the annual appropriations bills into which the budget is divided, according to the chamber’s rules. That means getting at least 10 GOP members aboard.\nDefense Spending\nRepublican lawmakers are certain to take issue with many of Biden’s requests.\nThe outline has $753 billion for defense programs in the upcoming fiscal year, which represents just a 1.7% increase -- significantly below the 4% to 5% bump advocated by GOP leaders, and a break with recent tradition of keeping defense and non-defense increases on the same scale.\nThe White House argued that domestic investments have waned in recent years, and that Biden’s proposed boost on that side of the ledger would simply return the country’s non-defense spending to around the historic norm of 3.3% of gross domestic product.\nBiden includes no money for border-wall construction, canceling unspent funds from previous years, and has asked for $232 million more to study and investigate domestic terrorism in the wake of the insurrection by supporters of former President Donald Trump at the U.S. Capitol.\nNo Caps\nThe president’s 2022 request -- which involves just discretionary spending, and not entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security -- comes without the budget caps that have been in place for a decade. The expiration of those caps, agreed to between the Obama administration and congressional Republicans, has been described by White House officials as an opportunity to pursue investments in areas like education, clean energy and public health.\n“Over the past decade, due in large measure to overly restrictive budget caps, the nation significantly under-invested in core public services, benefits and protections,” Young said.\nAnd though presidential budgets are routinely ignored on Capitol Hill, administration officials are hopeful the top-line numbers can offer an early guidepost for fellow Democrats who narrowly control both chambers of Congress.\nPriorities identified by the administration include:\n\nA $3.9 billion increase in funding to battle the opioid epidemic\n$232 million in new money for Department of Justice gun violence prevention programs\nMore than $1.2 billion in new spending for aid to Central America, and asylum adjudication amid a surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.\n\nBiden is asking Congress to spend $14 billion more on climate programs across the U.S. government, with some $10 billion targeted to clean energy innovation. Much of the funding would go to Energy Department initiatives, including the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Climate, with support for high-risk ventures that offer the potential for changes in the way electricity is generated and used.\nHe envisions a $1.4 billion increase for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, enabling greater work on climate observations and forecasting, and $600 million to buy electric vehicles and equipment for federal agencies such as the U.S. Postal Service, which is in theprocess of turning over its fleet. Another $800 million would go toward making public and assisted housing more energy efficient.\nBiden also calls for an additional $1.2 billion for the Internal Revenue Service to boost oversight of corporations and wealthy taxpayers and improve IRS customer service. It also calls for amulti-year allocation of $417 million to fund audits, which the White House hopes will bring in more revenues from businesses and wealthy taxpayers.\nAmtrak Money\nThe Commerce Department would see a 28% increase --including a doubling of funds for manufacturing-related programs under the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Amtrak -- long favored by Biden -- receives a 35% increase.\nBiden’s budget proposal arrives months later than the usual timeline, and it lacks many of the details -- including plans for raising revenues, economic assumptions and a 10-year outlook -- that ordinarily accompany funding requests.\nAppropriations for 2022 need to be enacted before Oct. 1 to avert a government shutdown.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9009222009,"gmtCreate":1640700833507,"gmtModify":1676533534913,"author":{"id":"3572907325602131","authorId":"3572907325602131","name":"Xkuanx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e90936aad3336fa7f5cc5bc70cbab1fc","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/AVGO\">$Broadcom(AVGO)$</a>Will this ever drop ?
