upgrades Jazz Pharmaceuticals to buy from neutral</h2><p>Goldman said it sees “multiple upside levers” for the pharmaceutical company.</p><blockquote>“We are upgrading JAZZ from Neutral to Buy given our positive outlook on operating margin performance and the potential for multiple upside levers.”</blockquote><h2>Cowen names Costco a top 2023 pick</h2><p>Cowen said Costco is well positioned in a deteriorating macro environment.</p><blockquote>“COST is well positioned in an inflationary environment as higher income households &amp; existing customers seek bargains.”</blockquote><h2>Cowen names Caterpillar a top 2023 pick</h2><p>Cowen said the company is well positioned heading into 2023.</p><blockquote>“We’ve long held that this cycle’s peak will come in 2024 or later for CAT.We think the Street is just starting to warm up to this view.”</blockquote><h2>Cowen names Analog Devices a top 2023 pick</h2><p>Cowen said it sees an “upside in a favorable backdrop” for the semiconductor

Some experts say Musk may need to sell about $3 billion more in stock after the earnings announcement to help fund the deal.Musk on Wednesday said he was excited about his pending acquisition of Twitter Inc (TWTR.N), although he and other investors were overpaying for the social media company.Musk also said Tesla's Cybertruck pick-up truck was on track to enter production in the middle of next year and its heavy duty semi truck, which will begin deliveries later this year, could see 50,000 units in North America in 2024.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":120,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9938224540,"gmtCreate":1662617479880,"gmtModify":1676537102370,"author":{"id":"3572946614001509","authorId":"3572946614001509","name":"jolynnnnnnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a57c211e244dfbae9f8d7c0d2c8b547","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good afternoon&nbsp;","listText":"Good afternoon&nbsp;","text":"Good afternoon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9938224540","repostId":"1119363305","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1119363305","pubTimestamp":1662613739,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1119363305?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-09-08 13:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tim Cook Didn’t Have \"One More Thing,\" so Apple Offered Consumers a Break, for Once","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1119363305","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Apple’s iPhone 14 event was notable more for what the company didn’t do: Raise prices on its top-end smartphonesApple CEO Tim Cook holds a new iPhone 14 Pro during Wednesday’s eventn Cupertino, Calif.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Apple’s iPhone 14 event was notable more for what the company didn’t do: Raise prices on its top-end smartphones</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/689ed65479a46375dcaf6fa32912c643\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Apple CEO Tim Cook holds a new iPhone 14 Pro during Wednesday’s eventn Cupertino, Calif.

Amid the highest inflation rates in decades, there have been concerns about consumers growing more cost-conscious — especially lower-wage earners — but Apple is expected to keep its standard iPhone models at the same starting price while increasing the base $999 and $1,199 prices on its iPhone Pro and Pro Max.</p><p>“While the base iPhone will stay at the same price we believe a $100 price increase on the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max is likely in store given component price increases as well as added functionality on this new release,” Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives wrote in a recent note to clients.</p><p>The company is expected to debut the new iPhone family at a Wednesday event that will kick off at 1 p.m. Eastern time. Apple’s smartphones are its biggest business by far, bringing in more than $162 billion through three quarters of the company’s fiscal year, more than 57% of Apple’s revenue total.</p><p>But The planned iPhone 14 debut comes amid uncertainty about how smartphone demand will hold up in the macroeconomic climate. IDC recently projected a 6.5% decline in global smartphone shipments this year, after shipments underperformed their estimates while declining for four quarters in a row. iPhone demand seems to have held up better than the overall market, however, and Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook said on the company’s last earnings call that he hadn’t noticed “obvious evidence of macroeconomic impact” on the iPhone.</p><p>Other than the price, the biggest news out of Apple’s event could be what isn’t mentioned, or gets taken away. Few observers expect Apple to show off its highly anticipated next product category, a headset, and Apple could be saying goodbye to the iPhone Mini and the infamous “notch.”</p><p>Apple is expected to do away with the mini version of its base iPhone, and it could add a 6.7-inch configuration for the first time, according to Bloomberg News. Also, five years after Apple introduced a “notch” at the top of its iPhone X model that wasn’t exactly a fan favorite, Bloomberg reports it could finally be going away with the iPhone 14 update in favor of “hole-punch and pill-shaped cutouts for the front camera and Face ID sensors.”</p><p>A Steve Jobs-worthy “One More Thing” that details Apple’s next big invention has long been absent from iPhone events, but his successor might have something up his sleeve that fits the bill. Apple has been developing a headset that is expected to integrate long-gestating mixed-reality technology, which Cook has long called “a big idea like the smartphone.” Experts expect it to reach consumers in 2023 at the earliest, but few analysts believe its first appearance will be at Wednesday’s event, even as Meta Platforms Inc. prepares to reveal its next-generation VR tech.</p><p>Given a lack of chatter about the device more recently, it’s perhaps unlikely that Apple is ready to trot the product out for viewing in September—or else the silence means that Apple has done a good job of keeping the wraps on its “one more thing.” Bloomberg reported in May that the company “aimed to unveil the headset as early as the end of this year or sometime next year, with a consumer release planned for 2023.”</p><p>Those holding out for foldable and flip phones like the models Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. debuted a few weeks back will likely have to keep waiting for that sort of launch at Apple, but iPhone fans should expect a faster processor and the end of a much-mocked design element.</p><p>There could be a long awaited announcement of satellite connection technology for iPhones, which would allow people to communicate even while far off the beaten path. The move was expected last year and was not announced, and a similar setup is happening into this year, with analyst Ming-Chi Kuo writing this week that “Apple had completed hardware tests for this feature,” but “whether iPhone 14 will offer satellite communication service depends on whether Apple and operators can settle the business model.”</p><p>The iPhone Pro models are expected to get the majority of the upgrades, relative to the regular iPhone models. Bloomberg News has reported that Apple plans to introduce a 48-megapixel camera, a faster chip, and better battery life for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. MacRumors notes that the enhanced camera would let more light pass through the lens, something that could allow for better image quality, including when shooting with the company’s Portrait Mode feature.</p><p>The iPhone 14 Pro could also feature the new A16 chip, which MacRumors has said may help the company power the new camera, as well as the always-on display that some Apple watchers are expecting to finally see on the latest model. While Apple is thought to be planning chip upgrades for the Pro models, 9to5Mac expects that the company could stick with the same A15 chip for the base iPhone 14 line that was used in the iPhone 13 family.</p><p>Also expected at the Wednesday event is an update to the Apple Watch lineup.

The U.S. economy has delivered back-to-back quarters of gross domestic product declines, the U.S. inflation rate is hitting a more than four-decade high, and Russia&#39;s invasion of Ukraine throws an even bigger monkey wrench into an already-damaged global energy supply chain. Perhaps it&#39;s no surprise that the benchmark <b>S&amp;P 500</b> and growth-driven <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> entered bear market territory.</p><p>However, the iconic <b>Dow Jones Industrial Average</b> has avoided this fate. The Dow Jones, which is comprised of 30 multinational companies, has likely outperformed the other major indexes because it&#39;s packed with profitable, time-tested businesses. In other words, sometimes it pays to invest in mature stocks that just keep winning over time.</p><p>With the broader market taking it on the chin, now is as good a time as any for opportunistic investors to put their money to work. What follows are three Dow stocks that are nothing short of screaming buys in September.</p><h2>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INTC\">Intel</a></h2><p>The first Dow stock that&#39;s begging to be bought by long-term investors in September is semiconductor stock <b>Intel</b>.</p><p>Shares of Intel have been halved over the past 18 months. This looks to be due to a combination of the U.S. and global economy weakening, demand for personal computers declining as workers get back to the office, and supply chain concerns continuing to weigh on production. It also hasn&#39;t helped that rival <b>Advanced Micro Devices</b> has been chipping away at Intel&#39;s market share in its computing and data center segments.</p><p>Yet, in spite of these challenges, buying Intel at its current share price looks like an absolute steal for investors who can exercise patience -- and who want to receive a 4.4% annual dividend yield while they wait for Intel&#39;s catalysts to carry shares notably higher.</p><p>Before writing Intel&#39;s eulogy, skeptics should take a closer look at desktop, mobile, and server market share among central processing unit (CPU) developers and manufacturers. As of the end of the first quarter of 2022, Intel respectively controlled almost 82% of desktop CPUs, close to 78% of mobile CPU share, and just over 88% of server CPU share (excluding Internet of Things devices).  It doesn&#39;t appear that Intel will be losing its high-margin, cash-rich crown anytime soon.</p><p>Another reason to be optimistic about Intel is the expected spinoff of autonomous vehicle company <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MBLY\">Mobileye</a>, which Intel purchased for $15.3 billion in 2017. Mobileye generated record sales of $460 million during the June-ended quarter, which represents an increase of 41% from the prior-year period.  With innovation being the name of the game in the auto industry, it&#39;s possible Intel&#39;s stake in Mobileye could create a nice windfall for the company.</p><p>The $52 billion CHIPS Act, which President Joe Biden signed into law less than a month ago, is an additional catalyst that favors Intel&#39;s growth prospects.  With subsidies likely on the way to promote manufacturing expansion, Intel is a good bet to reignite its growth engine sooner than later.</p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a></h2><p>The second Dow Jones Industrial Average stock that presents as a screaming buy in September is payment processor <b>Visa</b>.</p><p>Virtually all financial stocks, including Visa, are cyclical. This is a fancy way of saying that they ebb and flow with the U.S. and/or global economy. If the economy is firing on all cylinders and growing, Visa&#39;s top line should expand as consumers and businesses increase their spending. Conversely, when economic contractions and recessions arise, spending tends to decline, which can adversely impact Visa&#39;s revenue and profits.</p><p>However, it&#39;s important to realize that this is a simple numbers game that strongly favors Visa and its patient shareholders. Even though recessions are an inevitable part of the economic cycle, periods of expansion last substantially longer. Simply buying and holding Visa stock should allow investors to take advantage of these disproportionately long periods of expansion.</p><p>On a more company-specific level, Visa finds itself as the leading payment processor in the No. 1 market for consumption in the world: the United States. As of 2020, based on filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission among the four biggest payment processors, Visa controlled a 54% share of credit card network payment volume in the United States.  Further, no payment processor grew its share of credit card network payment volume more following the Great Recession (2007-2009) than Visa.</p><p>Then again, there&#39;s plenty of opportunity beyond domestic borders. Visa has demonstrated a willingness to grow inorganically (e.g., the company acquired Visa Europe in 2016) and has plenty of runway to push its payment infrastructure into chronically underbanked regions, such as the Middle East, Africa, and Southeastern Asia.</p><p>Lastly, investors should note that Visa strictly acts as a payment processor and completely avoids lending. Though it wouldn&#39;t have any issue generating net-interest income and fees as a lender, Visa&#39;s management realizes that lending would expose the company to potential loan delinquencies and charge-offs during recessions. Not having to set aside capital to cover loan losses is a big advantage for Visa that allows it to maintain a profit margin above 50%, as well as bounce back from recessions faster than other financial stocks.</p><h2>3. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Verizon Communications</a></h2><p>The third Dow Jones stock that&#39;s a screaming buy in September is telecom giant <b>Verizon Communications</b>. Whereas Intel is hitting fresh five-year lows, Verizon&#39;s share price is flirting with its lowest point over the trailing decade.</p><p>A number of factors are weighing on Verizon, including increased promotional activity from its peers, the aforementioned weakening U.S. economic outlook, and rapidly rising interest rates. Verizon, which is known to finance infrastructure upgrades and purchases with debt, will have to pay more to finance future deals and projects. Yet even with these plain-as-day headwinds, Verizon looks like an incredible bargain.</p><p>Following years without a true catalyst, Verizon should benefit nicely from the 5G revolution. Although the company will spend billions of dollars to upgrade its wireless infrastructure to support 5G download speeds, it&#39;ll be well worth it. Consumers and businesses are expected to upgrade their devices to take advantage of faster download speeds through at least the midpoint of the decade. Since data consumption is what fuels the juiciest margins for Verizon&#39;s wireless segment, 5G should steadily move its profit needle higher.</p><p>To add to the above, increased competition isn&#39;t having a notably adverse impact on the company&#39;s core operating segment. The June-ended quarter saw retail postpaid wireless churn hit 1.03%, which is historically low.  What this figure tells investors is that Verizon&#39;s operating cash flow remains highly predictable, and the company&#39;s customers are generally loyal to the brand.</p><p>Investors would be wise not to overlook Verizon&#39;s 5G at-home broadband push, either. Verizon spared no expense to scoop up 5G mid-band spectrum that it plans to use to reach 50 million households and 14 million businesses with its broadband services by the end of 2025. While broadband isn&#39;t the growth story it once was, it can help Verizon boost its operating cash flow and lead to higher-margin media bundles at the consumer level.</p><p>With Verizon valued at just eight times Wall Street&#39;s forecast earnings for 2023 and doling out a nearly 6% yield, there looks to be a very favorable risk-versus-reward ratio for income-and-value-seeking investors.</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>3 Dow Stocks That Are Screaming Buys in September</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\">\n3 Dow Stocks That Are Screaming Buys in September\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-09-02 23:24 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/09/01/3-dow-stocks-that-are-screaming-buys-in-september/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>This has been one of the most difficult years on record for Wall Street and the investing community.

The U.S. economy has delivered back-to-back quarters of gross domestic product declines, the U.S. inflation rate is hitting a more than four-decade high, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine throws an even bigger monkey wrench into an already-damaged global energy supply chain. Perhaps it's no surprise that the benchmark S&P 500 and growth-driven Nasdaq Composite entered bear market territory.However, the iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average has avoided this fate. The Dow Jones, which is comprised of 30 multinational companies, has likely outperformed the other major indexes because it's packed with profitable, time-tested businesses. In other words, sometimes it pays to invest in mature stocks that just keep winning over time.With the broader market taking it on the chin, now is as good a time as any for opportunistic investors to put their money to work. What follows are three Dow stocks that are nothing short of screaming buys in September.1. IntelThe first Dow stock that's begging to be bought by long-term investors in September is semiconductor stock Intel.Shares of Intel have been halved over the past 18 months. This looks to be due to a combination of the U.S. and global economy weakening, demand for personal computers declining as workers get back to the office, and supply chain concerns continuing to weigh on production. It also hasn't helped that rival Advanced Micro Devices has been chipping away at Intel's market share in its computing and data center segments.Yet, in spite of these challenges, buying Intel at its current share price looks like an absolute steal for investors who can exercise patience -- and who want to receive a 4.4% annual dividend yield while they wait for Intel's catalysts to carry shares notably higher.Before writing Intel's eulogy, skeptics should take a closer look at desktop, mobile, and server market share among central processing unit (CPU) developers and manufacturers. As of the end of the first quarter of 2022, Intel respectively controlled almost 82% of desktop CPUs, close to 78% of mobile CPU share, and just over 88% of server CPU share (excluding Internet of Things devices).  It doesn't appear that Intel will be losing its high-margin, cash-rich crown anytime soon.Another reason to be optimistic about Intel is the expected spinoff of autonomous vehicle company Mobileye, which Intel purchased for $15.3 billion in 2017. Mobileye generated record sales of $460 million during the June-ended quarter, which represents an increase of 41% from the prior-year period.  With innovation being the name of the game in the auto industry, it's possible Intel's stake in Mobileye could create a nice windfall for the company.The $52 billion CHIPS Act, which President Joe Biden signed into law less than a month ago, is an additional catalyst that favors Intel's growth prospects.  With subsidies likely on the way to promote manufacturing expansion, Intel is a good bet to reignite its growth engine sooner than later.2. VisaThe second Dow Jones Industrial Average stock that presents as a screaming buy in September is payment processor Visa.Virtually all financial stocks, including Visa, are cyclical. This is a fancy way of saying that they ebb and flow with the U.S. and/or global economy. If the economy is firing on all cylinders and growing, Visa's top line should expand as consumers and businesses increase their spending. Conversely, when economic contractions and recessions arise, spending tends to decline, which can adversely impact Visa's revenue and profits.However, it's important to realize that this is a simple numbers game that strongly favors Visa and its patient shareholders. Even though recessions are an inevitable part of the economic cycle, periods of expansion last substantially longer. Simply buying and holding Visa stock should allow investors to take advantage of these disproportionately long periods of expansion.On a more company-specific level, Visa finds itself as the leading payment processor in the No. 1 market for consumption in the world: the United States. As of 2020, based on filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission among the four biggest payment processors, Visa controlled a 54% share of credit card network payment volume in the United States.  Further, no payment processor grew its share of credit card network payment volume more following the Great Recession (2007-2009) than Visa.Then again, there's plenty of opportunity beyond domestic borders. Visa has demonstrated a willingness to grow inorganically (e.g., the company acquired Visa Europe in 2016) and has plenty of runway to push its payment infrastructure into chronically underbanked regions, such as the Middle East, Africa, and Southeastern Asia.Lastly, investors should note that Visa strictly acts as a payment processor and completely avoids lending. Though it wouldn't have any issue generating net-interest income and fees as a lender, Visa's management realizes that lending would expose the company to potential loan delinquencies and charge-offs during recessions. Not having to set aside capital to cover loan losses is a big advantage for Visa that allows it to maintain a profit margin above 50%, as well as bounce back from recessions faster than other financial stocks.3. Verizon CommunicationsThe third Dow Jones stock that's a screaming buy in September is telecom giant Verizon Communications. Whereas Intel is hitting fresh five-year lows, Verizon's share price is flirting with its lowest point over the trailing decade.A number of factors are weighing on Verizon, including increased promotional activity from its peers, the aforementioned weakening U.S. economic outlook, and rapidly rising interest rates. Verizon, which is known to finance infrastructure upgrades and purchases with debt, will have to pay more to finance future deals and projects. Yet even with these plain-as-day headwinds, Verizon looks like an incredible bargain.Following years without a true catalyst, Verizon should benefit nicely from the 5G revolution. Although the company will spend billions of dollars to upgrade its wireless infrastructure to support 5G download speeds, it'll be well worth it. Consumers and businesses are expected to upgrade their devices to take advantage of faster download speeds through at least the midpoint of the decade. Since data consumption is what fuels the juiciest margins for Verizon's wireless segment, 5G should steadily move its profit needle higher.To add to the above, increased competition isn't having a notably adverse impact on the company's core operating segment. The June-ended quarter saw retail postpaid wireless churn hit 1.03%, which is historically low.  What this figure tells investors is that Verizon's operating cash flow remains highly predictable, and the company's customers are generally loyal to the brand.Investors would be wise not to overlook Verizon's 5G at-home broadband push, either. Verizon spared no expense to scoop up 5G mid-band spectrum that it plans to use to reach 50 million households and 14 million businesses with its broadband services by the end of 2025. While broadband isn't the growth story it once was, it can help Verizon boost its operating cash flow and lead to higher-margin media bundles at the consumer level.With Verizon valued at just eight times Wall Street's forecast earnings for 2023 and doling out a nearly 6% yield, there looks to be a very favorable risk-versus-reward ratio for income-and-value-seeking investors.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":116,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9930178303,"gmtCreate":1661919109404,"gmtModify":1676536604328,"author":{"id":"3572946614001509","authorId":"3572946614001509","name":"jolynnnnnnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a57c211e244dfbae9f8d7c0d2c8b547","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good afternoon","listText":"Good afternoon","text":"Good afternoon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9930178303","repostId":"1113965751","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":290,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9997635139,"gmtCreate":1661794155424,"gmtModify":1676536579486,"author":{"id":"3572946614001509","authorId":"3572946614001509","name":"jolynnnnnnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a57c211e244dfbae9f8d7c0d2c8b547","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Goodnight","listText":"Goodnight","text":"Goodnight","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9997635139","repostId":"2262162956","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2262162956","pubTimestamp":1661786631,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2262162956?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-08-29 23:23","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nasdaq Bear Market: 5 Unsurpassable Growth Stocks You'll Regret Not Buying on the Dip","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2262162956","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These fast-paced companies with unmatched innovative capacity are screaming buys following a peak decline of 34% in the Nasdaq Composite.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>This year has served as a kick-in-the-pants reminder that the stock market doesn&#39;t rise in a straight line -- even if 2021 gave off the impression that it did. Since hitting their respective all-time highs between mid-November and the first week of January, the iconic <b>Dow Jones Industrial Average</b>, benchmark <b>S&amp;P 500</b>, and growth-focused <b>Nasdaq Composite</b>, plunged by as much as 19%, 24%, and 34%. The greater than 20% declines in the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq firmly placed both indexes in a bear market.</p><p>To not beat around the bush, bear markets can be scary. The velocity and unpredictability of downside moves can truly test the resolve of investors. But if history has a say, bear markets are also the perfect time to put your money to work. That&#39;s because every major stock market decline throughout history has, eventually, been erased by a bull market.</p><p>With the Nasdaq Composite getting hit harder than the other indexes, it looks like the ideal time to invest in growth stocks with unmatched innovative capacity and sustainable competitive advantages. What follows are five unsurpassable growth stocks you&#39;ll regret not buying on the Nasdaq bear market dip.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a></h2><p>The first phenomenal growth stock you&#39;ll be kicking yourself over if you don&#39;t buy it during the Nasdaq bear market dip is social media giant <b>Meta Platforms</b>. Meta is the company formerly known as Facebook.</p><p>Although advertising spending has been hit hard in 2022 as historically high inflation and back-to-back quarters of U.S. gross domestic product declines suppress discretionary spending, Meta remains well-positioned to capitalize on disproportionately long periods of economic expansion. Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger, are consistently among the most-downloaded apps worldwide. With 3.65 billion people visiting its sites on a monthly basis (that&#39;s over half the global adult population), Meta is in prime position to command strong ad-pricing power.</p><p>The other reason to like Meta is the company&#39;s aggressive investments in the &#34;metaverse&#34; -- i.e., the next iteration of the internet which&#39;ll allow connected users the ability to interact with each other and their environments in a 3D virtual world. Though it&#39;ll take a few more years before the metaverse is ready to be meaningfully monetized, Meta fixes to be a key on-ramp to this multitrillion-dollar opportunity.</p><p>Shares of Meta Platforms are cheaper than they&#39;ve ever been on a forward-earning basis as a publicly traded company. That makes this social-media maven a screaming buy at the moment.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PUBM\">PubMatic</a></h2><p>A second stellar growth stock begging to be bought as the Nasdaq Composite plunges is cloud-based programmatic adtech company <b>PubMatic</b>. Although PubMatic is contending with same advertising spending weakness as Meta, it&#39;s on track to grow by a considerably faster rate.</p><p>PubMatic is what&#39;s known as a sell-side provider (SSPs) in the adtech space. This is a fancy way of saying that it specializes in selling digital display space for publishers. Because there aren&#39;t many SSPs for publishers to choose from, and ad dollars have been steadily shifting to digital formats, such as video, mobile, and over-the-top streaming, PubMatic has consistently delivered organic growth of at least twice the industry average.</p><p>Perhaps the best aspect of PubMatic is its internally designed cloud infrastructure platform. Rather than relying on a third party for its platform. PubMatic built its infrastructure. While costly in the beginning, handling its own infrastructure should result in substantially higher operating margins than its peers as revenue scales.</p><p>If you need one more solid reason to trust in PubMatic, consider this: The company ended June with $183 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, and <i>no debt</i>!</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PLTR\">Palantir Technologies</a></h2><p>The third unsurpassable growth stock worth buying on the Nasdaq bear market dip is artificial intelligence (AI)-driven data-mining company <b>Palantir Technologies</b>. Palantir&#39;s valuation used to be its biggest obstacle. But following a greater than 80% retracement in its share price, it&#39;s now ripe for the picking.</p><p>What makes Palantir such an intriguing investment for long-term growth investors is that there&#39;s no other company offering what it does at scale. The company&#39;s AI-based Gotham platform helps government agencies with missions and data gathering. Meanwhile, the Foundry platform is focused on helping businesses streamline their operations by making sense of large amounts of data.</p><p>For the past couple of years, Gotham has been Palantir&#39;s primary growth driver. Being awarded large government contracts that can span four or more years has helped the company grow its sales by 30% or more on a consistent basis. But looking ahead, Foundry is Palantir&#39;s golden ticket. Whereas not all governments can utilize Palantir&#39;s proprietary software, Foundry&#39;s ceiling is <i>much</i> higher. As of June 30, 2022, Palantir had 119 commercial customers, which was up 250% from the prior-year period.</p><p>Though recurring profitability could be a few years away, Palantir&#39;s superb topline growth and niche industry positioning can send shares significantly higher.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LOVE\">Lovesac</a></h2><p>A fourth exceptional growth stock you&#39;ll be mad at yourself for not buying on the Nasdaq bear market decline is furniture company <b>Lovesac</b>. <i>Yes</i>, I really said &#34;growth&#34; and &#34;furniture company&#34; in the same sentence.</p><p>Whereas most brick-and-mortar furniture companies are slow-growing, stodgy businesses, Lovesac is turning the industry on its head in two key ways.</p><p>First off, its furniture is unique. The company&#39;s &#34;sactionals&#34; -- a sactional is a modular couch that can be rearranged dozens of ways to fit most living spaces -- account for nearly 88% of net sales and incorporate function, choice, and ecofriendly materials. Sactionals can be upgraded to include surround-sound systems and wireless charging stations, and they have over 200 cover choices. Further, the yarn used in these covers is made entirely from recycled plastic water bottles.</p><p>Secondly, Lovesac&#39;s omnichannel sales platform has led it to success. Despite having 162 retail locations in 40 states, the company&#39;s substantially higher margins are a reflection of its direct-to-consumer emphasis, as well as pop-up showrooms and brand-name partnerships.  With less inventory needed in physical retail stores, Lovesac&#39;s overhead expenses are considerably lower than its peers.</p><h2>Alphabet</h2><p>The fifth and final unsurpassable growth stock you&#39;ll regret not buying during the Nasdaq bear market dip is FAANG stock <b>Alphabet</b>. Alphabet is the parent of internet search engine Google, streaming platform YouTube, and autonomous car company Waymo.</p><p>The no-brainer reason to pile into Alphabet is the company&#39;s absolutely dominant internet search engine, Google. According to data from GlobalStats, Google has accounted for no less than 91% of worldwide internet search share for the trailing 24 months. With an 88-percentage-point lead over its next-closest competitor, it should come as no surprise that Alphabet is able to command exceptional ad-pricing power.</p><p>But what Wall Street and investors are most-excited about is what Alphabet is doing with its available cash and operating cash flow. For instance, investments in YouTube have paid off handsomely. Easily one of the best acquisitions in history (Google acquired YouTube for $1.65 billion in 2006), YouTube has become the second most-visited social site in the world.

Since hitting their respective all-time highs between mid-November and the first week of January, the iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average, benchmark S&P 500, and growth-focused Nasdaq Composite, plunged by as much as 19%, 24%, and 34%. The greater than 20% declines in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq firmly placed both indexes in a bear market.To not beat around the bush, bear markets can be scary. The velocity and unpredictability of downside moves can truly test the resolve of investors. But if history has a say, bear markets are also the perfect time to put your money to work. That's because every major stock market decline throughout history has, eventually, been erased by a bull market.With the Nasdaq Composite getting hit harder than the other indexes, it looks like the ideal time to invest in growth stocks with unmatched innovative capacity and sustainable competitive advantages. What follows are five unsurpassable growth stocks you'll regret not buying on the Nasdaq bear market dip.Meta PlatformsThe first phenomenal growth stock you'll be kicking yourself over if you don't buy it during the Nasdaq bear market dip is social media giant Meta Platforms. Meta is the company formerly known as Facebook.Although advertising spending has been hit hard in 2022 as historically high inflation and back-to-back quarters of U.S. gross domestic product declines suppress discretionary spending, Meta remains well-positioned to capitalize on disproportionately long periods of economic expansion. Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger, are consistently among the most-downloaded apps worldwide. With 3.65 billion people visiting its sites on a monthly basis (that's over half the global adult population), Meta is in prime position to command strong ad-pricing power.The other reason to like Meta is the company's aggressive investments in the \"metaverse\" -- i.e., the next iteration of the internet which'll allow connected users the ability to interact with each other and their environments in a 3D virtual world. Though it'll take a few more years before the metaverse is ready to be meaningfully monetized, Meta fixes to be a key on-ramp to this multitrillion-dollar opportunity.Shares of Meta Platforms are cheaper than they've ever been on a forward-earning basis as a publicly traded company. That makes this social-media maven a screaming buy at the moment.PubMaticA second stellar growth stock begging to be bought as the Nasdaq Composite plunges is cloud-based programmatic adtech company PubMatic. Although PubMatic is contending with same advertising spending weakness as Meta, it's on track to grow by a considerably faster rate.PubMatic is what's known as a sell-side provider (SSPs) in the adtech space. This is a fancy way of saying that it specializes in selling digital display space for publishers. Because there aren't many SSPs for publishers to choose from, and ad dollars have been steadily shifting to digital formats, such as video, mobile, and over-the-top streaming, PubMatic has consistently delivered organic growth of at least twice the industry average.Perhaps the best aspect of PubMatic is its internally designed cloud infrastructure platform. Rather than relying on a third party for its platform. PubMatic built its infrastructure. While costly in the beginning, handling its own infrastructure should result in substantially higher operating margins than its peers as revenue scales.If you need one more solid reason to trust in PubMatic, consider this: The company ended June with $183 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, and no debt!Palantir TechnologiesThe third unsurpassable growth stock worth buying on the Nasdaq bear market dip is artificial intelligence (AI)-driven data-mining company Palantir Technologies. Palantir's valuation used to be its biggest obstacle. But following a greater than 80% retracement in its share price, it's now ripe for the picking.What makes Palantir such an intriguing investment for long-term growth investors is that there's no other company offering what it does at scale. The company's AI-based Gotham platform helps government agencies with missions and data gathering. Meanwhile, the Foundry platform is focused on helping businesses streamline their operations by making sense of large amounts of data.For the past couple of years, Gotham has been Palantir's primary growth driver. Being awarded large government contracts that can span four or more years has helped the company grow its sales by 30% or more on a consistent basis. But looking ahead, Foundry is Palantir's golden ticket. Whereas not all governments can utilize Palantir's proprietary software, Foundry's ceiling is much higher. As of June 30, 2022, Palantir had 119 commercial customers, which was up 250% from the prior-year period.Though recurring profitability could be a few years away, Palantir's superb topline growth and niche industry positioning can send shares significantly higher.LovesacA fourth exceptional growth stock you'll be mad at yourself for not buying on the Nasdaq bear market decline is furniture company Lovesac. Yes, I really said \"growth\" and \"furniture company\" in the same sentence.Whereas most brick-and-mortar furniture companies are slow-growing, stodgy businesses, Lovesac is turning the industry on its head in two key ways.First off, its furniture is unique. The company's \"sactionals\" -- a sactional is a modular couch that can be rearranged dozens of ways to fit most living spaces -- account for nearly 88% of net sales and incorporate function, choice, and ecofriendly materials. Sactionals can be upgraded to include surround-sound systems and wireless charging stations, and they have over 200 cover choices. Further, the yarn used in these covers is made entirely from recycled plastic water bottles.Secondly, Lovesac's omnichannel sales platform has led it to success. Despite having 162 retail locations in 40 states, the company's substantially higher margins are a reflection of its direct-to-consumer emphasis, as well as pop-up showrooms and brand-name partnerships.  With less inventory needed in physical retail stores, Lovesac's overhead expenses are considerably lower than its peers.AlphabetThe fifth and final unsurpassable growth stock you'll regret not buying during the Nasdaq bear market dip is FAANG stock Alphabet. Alphabet is the parent of internet search engine Google, streaming platform YouTube, and autonomous car company Waymo.The no-brainer reason to pile into Alphabet is the company's absolutely dominant internet search engine, Google. According to data from GlobalStats, Google has accounted for no less than 91% of worldwide internet search share for the trailing 24 months. With an 88-percentage-point lead over its next-closest competitor, it should come as no surprise that Alphabet is able to command exceptional ad-pricing power.But what Wall Street and investors are most-excited about is what Alphabet is doing with its available cash and operating cash flow. For instance, investments in YouTube have paid off handsomely. Easily one of the best acquisitions in history (Google acquired YouTube for $1.65 billion in 2006), YouTube has become the second most-visited social site in the world. As you can imagine, this has helped tremendously with ad and subscription revenue.There's also Google Cloud, which has vaulted to the No. 3 spot in cloud-service market share. Cloud infrastructure spending is still in its early innings, which means Google Cloud could become a key driver of operating cash flow for parent company Alphabet by as soon as mid-decade.Like Meta Platforms, Alphabet has simply never been cheaper as a publicly traded company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":255,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9994732957,"gmtCreate":1661692789982,"gmtModify":1676536561804,"author":{"id":"3572946614001509","authorId":"3572946614001509","name":"jolynnnnnnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a57c211e244dfbae9f8d7c0d2c8b547","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good evening&nbsp;","listText":"Good evening&nbsp;","text":"Good evening","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9994732957","repostId":"1161837457","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1161837457","pubTimestamp":1661645647,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1161837457?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-08-28 08:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nvidia: Guidance Is A Game-Changer","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1161837457","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryMassive slowdown in the Gaming business is affecting Nvidia’s revenue prospects.Revenue guida","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Summary</p><ul><li>Massive slowdown in the Gaming business is affecting Nvidia’s revenue prospects.</li><li>Revenue guidance for FQ3 was a real shocker as the outlook underperformed estimates by $1.0B.</li><li>Nvidia’s FY 2023 revenue estimates are set for a major downward revision.</li></ul><p>Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) finally released highly anticipated earnings for its second fiscal quarter of FY 2023. Part of the earnings report card was the outlook for Nvidia&#39;s third fiscal quarter, which was significantly worse than expected.

Because of the size of the expected revenue drop-off in FQ3&#39;23, Nvidia&#39;s shares are likely set to correct further to the downside!</p><p><b>Nvidia&#39;s FQ2&#39;23 earnings card was as expected</b></p><p>Nvidia&#39;s second quarter results largely conformed with the release of preliminary results from the beginning of August. Nvidia guided for $6.7B in FQ2 revenues due to a 33% year-over-year top line decrease in the Gaming segment. Actual revenues for Nvidia&#39;s FQ2&#39;23 were indeed $6.7B, showing 3% growth year-over-year, but also a 19% drop-off compared to FQ1. Unfortunately, Nvidia&#39;s gross margins collapsed in the second fiscal quarter to 45.9%, showing a decrease of 21.1 PP quarter-over-quarter. The drop in revenues and gross margins was overwhelmingly caused by the Gaming segment which reported, as expected, a 44% quarter-over-quarter drop in revenues due toweakening demand for GPUs and declining pricing strengthfor Nvidia&#39;s graphic cards. Weakening pricing for GPUsalso affected AMDin the last quarter, but Nvidia is more reliant on GPU sales than AMD and therefore more affected than its rival by the slowdown in the industry.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9690c900cda9585b16d72361723e11ca\" tg-width=\"909\" tg-height=\"274\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Nvidia: Final FQ2&#39;23 Results</p><p>Nvidia&#39;s Data Center revenues soared 61% year-over-year to $3.8B in FQ2 due to growing customer uptake of Nvidia&#39;s computing platforms that support data analysis and allow for the managing and scaling of artificial intelligence applications. Nvidia&#39;s Data Center business, because of the slowdown in the GPU segment, pulled ahead of Nvidia&#39;s Gaming segment regarding revenue generation in FQ2.</p><p>While Nvidia&#39;s Gaming business saw the biggest slowdown, the firm&#39;s &#39;OEM and Other&#39; business -- which includes the sale of dedicated cryptocurrency mining processors/CMPs -- also slumped. Nvidia&#39;s CMPs are used by cryptocurrency miners to validate transactions for proof of work cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH-USD).</p><p>Nvidia doesn&#39;t break out how much of its OEM revenues are related to CMP sales, but crashing cryptocurrency prices in 2022 have not been good for business, obviously. Nvidia generated just $140M of OEM and Other revenues in FQ2, showing a decline of 66% year-over-year, due chiefly to decelerating demand for dedicated cryptocurrency mining processors. For those reasons, I don&#39;t see Nvidia developing its CMP business into a multi-billion dollar revenue opportunity, aspredicted previously, in the near term.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/021fa94ce8462c4eecb6cdfc173dd154\" tg-width=\"1058\" tg-height=\"578\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Nvidia: Segment Revenue Trends</p><p><b>Nightmarish guidance</b></p><p>The most important piece of new information in Nvidia&#39;s release was the outlook for FQ3. Nvidia expects revenues of $5.90B plus or minus $118M, which would mark another 12% quarter-over-quarter decrease in consolidated revenues, which comes on top of the 19% quarter-over-quarter drop in revenues in FQ2. On an annualized basis, FQ3 revenues are down 29% compared to the beginning of the year, which marks a massive slowdown in Nvidia&#39;s business. The revenue downgrade for FQ3 occurred as Nvidia expects the Gaming industry to adjust to lower GPU demand and work throughhigh inventory levels. Nvidia&#39;s revenue guidance of $5.9B for FQ3 compares to aconsensus FQ3 estimate of $6.9B, meaning actual guidance was a massive $1.0B below the most recent revenue prediction.</p><p>I expected a sequential down-turn in revenues, led by Gaming, and projected FQ3 revenues to be between $6.0B to $6.2B, which reflected a sequential decline of up to 10%. Apparently, the situation in the Gaming industry is even more serious for Nvidia than expected, and it will affect how the market generates revenue estimates and values the stock going forward.</p><h3>My expectations for Nvidia going forward</h3><p>I expect Nvidia to continue to expand its Data Center business as demand for cloud computing, AI applications and hyper-scale platforms is only going to grow. However, I expect growth in this segment to be overshadowed by continual declines and pricing weakness in the Gaming segment. Worldwide PC shipments are expected to decline 9.5% (according toGartner) in 2022, but I believe the drop could be even larger if a deeper US recession were to bite.</p><p>Since there is no short-term solution to getting rid of high inventories in the PC industry, I expect pricing weakness in the GPU market to weigh on Nvidia&#39;s revenue potential. I also expect the pricing trend for both NVIDIA&#39;s GeForce RTX 30 and AMD&#39;s Radeon RX 6000 to remain negative, with larger discounts to the manufacturer&#39;s suggested retail price possible. Nvidia&#39;s RTX 30 GPU was available at a 9% discount to MSRP in July. Given the high inventory levels in the PC market paired with a drop-off in GPU demand, I expect Nvidia&#39;s flagship graphics card to trade at even higher discount to the MSRP going forward.</p><p>Because of the headwinds in the Gaming business, I expect Nvidia to generate about $27B in full-year revenues in FY 2023 (down from $28B), which means the chip maker could see no year-over-year growth whatsoever this year.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/297c23d10b4798c94de6cfa3ff793b91\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"802\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>NVDA Revenue (Quarterly YoY Growth) data by YCharts</p><p><b>Estimate and valuation risk</b></p><p>Nvidia&#39;s revenue estimates are now going to reset after the chip maker submitted a seriously bad guidance for its third fiscal quarter. As analysts incorporate Nvidia&#39;s FQ3&#39;23 revenue guidance into their projections, Nvidia is likely going to see a massive, broad-based reduction for its FY 2023 revenue predictions. Since lofty revenue expectations have been used to justify Nvidia&#39;s generous valuation, a reset of expectations has the potential to drive a downward revaluation of Nvidia&#39;s shares.</p><p>Nvidia&#39;s shares dropped 4.6% after regular trading yesterday and, I believe, the drop does not accurately reflect the seriousness of the sequential revenue downgrade. Nvidia currently has a P-S ratio of 12.2x, and if revenue estimates continue to fall, the valuation factor may even increase.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/92263effbea15a27a9d0154ceff211d1\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"852\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>NVDA Revenue Estimates for Current Fiscal Yeardata by YCharts</p><p><b>Other risks/considerations with Nvidia</b></p><p>I see two big risks for Nvidia at this point in time. The first one is that the slowdown in the GPU market may last for quite some time, meaning Nvidia may have to deal with slowing Gaming segment revenues for more than just one more quarter. This is because thePC market is in a declinewhich affects the shipment of Nvidia&#39;s GPUs. Secondly, revenue and earnings estimates, especially after the nightmarish guidance for FQ3&#39;23, will reflect a reset of growth expectations which in itself could lead Nvidia&#39;s shares into a new down-leg.</p><p><b>Final thoughts</b></p><p>Shares of Nvidia dropped 4.6% after the market closed, but I believe the sharpness of the expected revenue decline in FQ3 is not accurately reflected in this drop. The guidance truly is a game-changer because Nvidia&#39;s period of hyper-growth is ending.</p><p>Nvidia&#39;s outlook for FQ3&#39;23 revenues was $1.0B below expectations and the company is going through a major post-pandemic reset in the GPU market… which could affect Nvidia&#39;s valuation much more severely going forward. As estimates correct to the downside, Nvidia&#39;s valuation is set to experience more pressure!</p></body></html>","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>Nvidia: Guidance Is A Game-Changer</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\">\nNvidia: Guidance Is A Game-Changer\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-28 08:14 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4537353-nvidia-nvda-guidance-game-changer><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryMassive slowdown in the Gaming business is affecting Nvidia’s revenue prospects.Revenue guidance for FQ3 was a real shocker as the outlook underperformed estimates by $1.0B.Nvidia’s FY 2023 ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4537353-nvidia-nvda-guidance-game-changer\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NVDA":"英伟达"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4537353-nvidia-nvda-guidance-game-changer","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1161837457","content_text":"SummaryMassive slowdown in the Gaming business is affecting Nvidia’s revenue prospects.Revenue guidance for FQ3 was a real shocker as the outlook underperformed estimates by $1.0B.Nvidia’s FY 2023 revenue estimates are set for a major downward revision.Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) finally released highly anticipated earnings for its second fiscal quarter of FY 2023.

Unfortunately, Nvidia's gross margins collapsed in the second fiscal quarter to 45.9%, showing a decrease of 21.1 PP quarter-over-quarter. The drop in revenues and gross margins was overwhelmingly caused by the Gaming segment which reported, as expected, a 44% quarter-over-quarter drop in revenues due toweakening demand for GPUs and declining pricing strengthfor Nvidia's graphic cards. Weakening pricing for GPUsalso affected AMDin the last quarter, but Nvidia is more reliant on GPU sales than AMD and therefore more affected than its rival by the slowdown in the industry.Nvidia: Final FQ2'23 ResultsNvidia's Data Center revenues soared 61% year-over-year to $3.8B in FQ2 due to growing customer uptake of Nvidia's computing platforms that support data analysis and allow for the managing and scaling of artificial intelligence applications. Nvidia's Data Center business, because of the slowdown in the GPU segment, pulled ahead of Nvidia's Gaming segment regarding revenue generation in FQ2.While Nvidia's Gaming business saw the biggest slowdown, the firm's 'OEM and Other' business -- which includes the sale of dedicated cryptocurrency mining processors/CMPs -- also slumped. Nvidia's CMPs are used by cryptocurrency miners to validate transactions for proof of work cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH-USD).Nvidia doesn't break out how much of its OEM revenues are related to CMP sales, but crashing cryptocurrency prices in 2022 have not been good for business, obviously. Nvidia generated just $140M of OEM and Other revenues in FQ2, showing a decline of 66% year-over-year, due chiefly to decelerating demand for dedicated cryptocurrency mining processors. For those reasons, I don't see Nvidia developing its CMP business into a multi-billion dollar revenue opportunity, aspredicted previously, in the near term.Nvidia: Segment Revenue TrendsNightmarish guidanceThe most important piece of new information in Nvidia's release was the outlook for FQ3. Nvidia expects revenues of $5.90B plus or minus $118M, which would mark another 12% quarter-over-quarter decrease in consolidated revenues, which comes on top of the 19% quarter-over-quarter drop in revenues in FQ2. On an annualized basis, FQ3 revenues are down 29% compared to the beginning of the year, which marks a massive slowdown in Nvidia's business. The revenue downgrade for FQ3 occurred as Nvidia expects the Gaming industry to adjust to lower GPU demand and work throughhigh inventory levels. Nvidia's revenue guidance of $5.9B for FQ3 compares to aconsensus FQ3 estimate of $6.9B, meaning actual guidance was a massive $1.0B below the most recent revenue prediction.I expected a sequential down-turn in revenues, led by Gaming, and projected FQ3 revenues to be between $6.0B to $6.2B, which reflected a sequential decline of up to 10%. Apparently, the situation in the Gaming industry is even more serious for Nvidia than expected, and it will affect how the market generates revenue estimates and values the stock going forward.My expectations for Nvidia going forwardI expect Nvidia to continue to expand its Data Center business as demand for cloud computing, AI applications and hyper-scale platforms is only going to grow. However, I expect growth in this segment to be overshadowed by continual declines and pricing weakness in the Gaming segment. Worldwide PC shipments are expected to decline 9.5% (according toGartner) in 2022, but I believe the drop could be even larger if a deeper US recession were to bite.Since there is no short-term solution to getting rid of high inventories in the PC industry, I expect pricing weakness in the GPU market to weigh on Nvidia's revenue potential. I also expect the pricing trend for both NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 30 and AMD's Radeon RX 6000 to remain negative, with larger discounts to the manufacturer's suggested retail price possible. Nvidia's RTX 30 GPU was available at a 9% discount to MSRP in July. Given the high inventory levels in the PC market paired with a drop-off in GPU demand, I expect Nvidia's flagship graphics card to trade at even higher discount to the MSRP going forward.Because of the headwinds in the Gaming business, I expect Nvidia to generate about $27B in full-year revenues in FY 2023 (down from $28B), which means the chip maker could see no year-over-year growth whatsoever this year.NVDA Revenue (Quarterly YoY Growth) data by YChartsEstimate and valuation riskNvidia's revenue estimates are now going to reset after the chip maker submitted a seriously bad guidance for its third fiscal quarter. As analysts incorporate Nvidia's FQ3'23 revenue guidance into their projections, Nvidia is likely going to see a massive, broad-based reduction for its FY 2023 revenue predictions. Since lofty revenue expectations have been used to justify Nvidia's generous valuation, a reset of expectations has the potential to drive a downward revaluation of Nvidia's shares.Nvidia's shares dropped 4.6% after regular trading yesterday and, I believe, the drop does not accurately reflect the seriousness of the sequential revenue downgrade. Nvidia currently has a P-S ratio of 12.2x, and if revenue estimates continue to fall, the valuation factor may even increase.NVDA Revenue Estimates for Current Fiscal Yeardata by YChartsOther risks/considerations with NvidiaI see two big risks for Nvidia at this point in time. The first one is that the slowdown in the GPU market may last for quite some time, meaning Nvidia may have to deal with slowing Gaming segment revenues for more than just one more quarter. This is because thePC market is in a declinewhich affects the shipment of Nvidia's GPUs. Secondly, revenue and earnings estimates, especially after the nightmarish guidance for FQ3'23, will reflect a reset of growth expectations which in itself could lead Nvidia's shares into a new down-leg.Final thoughtsShares of Nvidia dropped 4.6% after the market closed, but I believe the sharpness of the expected revenue decline in FQ3 is not accurately reflected in this drop. The guidance truly is a game-changer because Nvidia's period of hyper-growth is ending.Nvidia's outlook for FQ3'23 revenues was $1.0B below expectations and the company is going through a major post-pandemic reset in the GPU market… which could affect Nvidia's valuation much more severely going forward. As estimates correct to the downside, Nvidia's valuation is set to experience more pressure!","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":408,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9994081672,"gmtCreate":1661532535902,"gmtModify":1676536536610,"author":{"id":"3572946614001509","authorId":"3572946614001509","name":"jolynnnnnnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a57c211e244dfbae9f8d7c0d2c8b547","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Bumpy road ahead?","listText":"Bumpy road ahead?","text":"Bumpy road ahead?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9994081672","repostId":"1131787080","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1131787080","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":1661526671,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1131787080?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-08-26 23:11","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Full Speech By Federal Reserve Chair Powell on Monetary Policy and Price Stability","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1131787080","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Monetary Policy and Price StabilityChair Jerome H.

Powell</p><p>At “Reassessing Constraints on the Economy and Policy,” an economic policy symposium sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Jackson Hole, Wyoming</p><p>Thank you for the opportunity to speak here today.</p><p>At past Jackson Hole conferences, I have discussed broad topics such as the ever-changing structure of the economy and the challenges of conducting monetary policy under high uncertainty. Today, my remarks will be shorter, my focus narrower, and my message more direct.</p><p>The Federal Open Market Committee&#39;s (FOMC) overarching focus right now is to bring inflation back down to our 2 percent goal. Price stability is the responsibility of the Federal Reserve and serves as the bedrock of our economy. Without price stability, the economy does not work for anyone. In particular, without price stability, we will not achieve a sustained period of strong labor market conditions that benefit all. The burdens of high inflation fall heaviest on those who are least able to bear them.</p><p>Restoring price stability will take some time and requires using our tools forcefully to bring demand and supply into better balance. Reducing inflation is likely to require a sustained period of below-trend growth. Moreover, there will very likely be some softening of labor market conditions. While higher interest rates, slower growth, and softer labor market conditions will bring down inflation, they will also bring some pain to households and businesses. These are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation. But a failure to restore price stability would mean far greater pain.</p><p>The U.S. economy is clearly slowing from the historically high growth rates of 2021, which reflected the reopening of the economy following the pandemic recession. While the latest economic data have been mixed, in my view our economy continues to show strong underlying momentum. The labor market is particularly strong, but it is clearly out of balance, with demand for workers substantially exceeding the supply of available workers. Inflation is running well above 2 percent, and high inflation has continued to spread through the economy. While the lower inflation readings for July are welcome, a single month&#39;s improvement falls far short of what the Committee will need to see before we are confident that inflation is moving down.</p><p>We are moving our policy stance purposefully to a level that will be sufficiently restrictive to return inflation to 2 percent. At our most recent meeting in July, the FOMC raised the target range for the federal funds rate to 2.25 to 2.5 percent, which is in the Summary of Economic Projection&#39;s (SEP) range of estimates of where the federal funds rate is projected to settle in the longer run. In current circumstances, with inflation running far above 2 percent and the labor market extremely tight, estimates of longer-run neutral are not a place to stop or pause.</p><p>July&#39;s increase in the target range was the second 75 basis point increase in as many meetings, and I said then that another unusually large increase could be appropriate at our next meeting. We are now about halfway through the intermeeting period. Our decision at the September meeting will depend on the totality of the incoming data and the evolving outlook. At some point, as the stance of monetary policy tightens further, it likely will become appropriate to slow the pace of increases.</p><p>Restoring price stability will likely require maintaining a restrictive policy stance for some time. The historical record cautions strongly against prematurely loosening policy. Committee participants&#39; most recent individual projections from the June SEP showed the median federal funds rate running slightly below 4 percent through the end of 2023. Participants will update their projections at the September meeting.</p><p>Our monetary policy deliberations and decisions build on what we have learned about inflation dynamics both from the high and volatile inflation of the 1970s and 1980s, and from the low and stable inflation of the past quarter-century. In particular, we are drawing on three important lessons.</p><p>The first lesson is that central banks<i>can</i>and<i>should</i>take responsibility for delivering low and stable inflation. It may seem strange now that central bankers and others once needed convincing on these two fronts, but as former Chairman Ben Bernanke has shown, both propositions were widely questioned during the Great Inflation period.1Today, we regard these questions as settled. Our responsibility to deliver price stability is unconditional. It is true that the current high inflation is a global phenomenon, and that many economies around the world face inflation as high or higher than seen here in the United States. It is also true, in my view, that the current high inflation in the United States is the product of strong demand and constrained supply, and that the Fed&#39;s tools work principally on aggregate demand. None of this diminishes the Federal Reserve&#39;s responsibility to carry out our assigned task of achieving price stability. There is clearly a job to do in moderating demand to better align with supply. We are committed to doing that job.</p><p>The second lesson is that the public&#39;s expectations about future inflation can play an important role in setting the path of inflation over time. Today, by many measures, longer-term inflation expectations appear to remain well anchored. That is broadly true of surveys of households, businesses, and forecasters, and of market-based measures as well. But that is not grounds for complacency, with inflation having run well above our goal for some time.</p><p>If the public expects that inflation will remain low and stable over time, then, absent major shocks, it likely will. Unfortunately, the same is true of expectations of high and volatile inflation. During the 1970s, as inflation climbed, the anticipation of high inflation became entrenched in the economic decisionmaking of households and businesses. The more inflation rose, the more people came to expect it to remain high, and they built that belief into wage and pricing decisions. As former Chairman Paul Volcker put it at the height of the Great Inflation in 1979, &#34;Inflation feeds in part on itself, so part of the job of returning to a more stable and more productive economy must be to break the grip of inflationary expectations.&#34;2</p><p>One useful insight into how actual inflation may affect expectations about its future path is based in the concept of &#34;rational inattention.&#34;3When inflation is persistently high, households and businesses must pay close attention and incorporate inflation into their economic decisions. When inflation is low and stable, they are freer to focus their attention elsewhere. Former Chairman Alan Greenspan put it this way: &#34;For all practical purposes, price stability means that expected changes in the average price level are small enough and gradual enough that they do not materially enter business and household financial decisions.&#34;4</p><p>Of course, inflation has just about everyone&#39;s attention right now, which highlights a particular risk today: The longer the current bout of high inflation continues, the greater the chance that expectations of higher inflation will become entrenched.</p><p>That brings me to the third lesson, which is that we must keep at it until the job is done. History shows that the employment costs of bringing down inflation are likely to increase with delay, as high inflation becomes more entrenched in wage and price setting. The successful Volcker disinflation in the early 1980s followed multiple failed attempts to lower inflation over the previous 15 years. A lengthy period of very restrictive monetary policy was ultimately needed to stem the high inflation and start the process of getting inflation down to the low and stable levels that were the norm until the spring of last year. Our aim is to avoid that outcome by acting with resolve now.</p><p>These lessons are guiding us as we use our tools to bring inflation down. We are taking forceful and rapid steps to moderate demand so that it comes into better alignment with supply, and to keep inflation expectations anchored. We will keep at it until we are confident the job is done.</p><p></p><p></p></body></html>","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>Full Speech By Federal Reserve Chair Powell on Monetary Policy and Price Stability</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\">\nFull Speech By Federal Reserve Chair Powell on Monetary Policy and Price Stability\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<a class=\"head\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/wemedia/1079075236\">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Tiger Newspress </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2022-08-26 23:11</p>\n</div>\n\n</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p><b><i>Monetary Policy and Price Stability</i></b></p><p>Chair Jerome H.

It may seem strange now that central bankers and others once needed convincing on these two fronts, but as former Chairman Ben Bernanke has shown, both propositions were widely questioned during the Great Inflation period.1Today, we regard these questions as settled. Our responsibility to deliver price stability is unconditional. It is true that the current high inflation is a global phenomenon, and that many economies around the world face inflation as high or higher than seen here in the United States. It is also true, in my view, that the current high inflation in the United States is the product of strong demand and constrained supply, and that the Fed's tools work principally on aggregate demand. None of this diminishes the Federal Reserve's responsibility to carry out our assigned task of achieving price stability. There is clearly a job to do in moderating demand to better align with supply. We are committed to doing that job.The second lesson is that the public's expectations about future inflation can play an important role in setting the path of inflation over time. Today, by many measures, longer-term inflation expectations appear to remain well anchored. That is broadly true of surveys of households, businesses, and forecasters, and of market-based measures as well. But that is not grounds for complacency, with inflation having run well above our goal for some time.If the public expects that inflation will remain low and stable over time, then, absent major shocks, it likely will. Unfortunately, the same is true of expectations of high and volatile inflation. During the 1970s, as inflation climbed, the anticipation of high inflation became entrenched in the economic decisionmaking of households and businesses. The more inflation rose, the more people came to expect it to remain high, and they built that belief into wage and pricing decisions. As former Chairman Paul Volcker put it at the height of the Great Inflation in 1979, \"Inflation feeds in part on itself, so part of the job of returning to a more stable and more productive economy must be to break the grip of inflationary expectations.\"2One useful insight into how actual inflation may affect expectations about its future path is based in the concept of \"rational inattention.\"3When inflation is persistently high, households and businesses must pay close attention and incorporate inflation into their economic decisions. When inflation is low and stable, they are freer to focus their attention elsewhere. Former Chairman Alan Greenspan put it this way: \"For all practical purposes, price stability means that expected changes in the average price level are small enough and gradual enough that they do not materially enter business and household financial decisions.\"4Of course, inflation has just about everyone's attention right now, which highlights a particular risk today: The longer the current bout of high inflation continues, the greater the chance that expectations of higher inflation will become entrenched.That brings me to the third lesson, which is that we must keep at it until the job is done. History shows that the employment costs of bringing down inflation are likely to increase with delay, as high inflation becomes more entrenched in wage and price setting. The successful Volcker disinflation in the early 1980s followed multiple failed attempts to lower inflation over the previous 15 years. A lengthy period of very restrictive monetary policy was ultimately needed to stem the high inflation and start the process of getting inflation down to the low and stable levels that were the norm until the spring of last year. Our aim is to avoid that outcome by acting with resolve now.These lessons are guiding us as we use our tools to bring inflation down. We are taking forceful and rapid steps to moderate demand so that it comes into better alignment with supply, and to keep inflation expectations anchored. We will keep at it until we are confident the job is done.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":345,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9995107682,"gmtCreate":1661422481548,"gmtModify":1676536515665,"author":{"id":"3572946614001509","authorId":"3572946614001509","name":"jolynnnnnnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a57c211e244dfbae9f8d7c0d2c8b547","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Are you buying","listText":"Are you buying","text":"Are you buying","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9995107682","repostId":"2262018006","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2262018006","pubTimestamp":1661419523,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2262018006?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-08-25 17:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Tesla's Stock Split Good For Investors?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2262018006","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"This will be the second time that Tesla splits its stock.

As I&#39;ve shared in past articles (1,2), the key assumption inmy model is that Tesla grows at a 25% CAGR over the next decade primarily due to growth in electric vehicle sales. While the upcoming Tesla stock split isn&#39;t material to my thesis, investors may have questions about how the split works, and I&#39;ll attempt to answer some of the common ones in this article.</p><p><b>Stock Split FAQs</b></p><p>I covered Tesla&#39;s stock split in my last article, but I&#39;ll recap a few of the key questions and answers about the split here. Those who read my previous article or are experienced with stock splits can skip to the next section.</p><p><b>How Do Stock Splits Impact Your Investment?</b></p><p>The total value of your investment isn&#39;t directly impacted by the stock split because a company&#39;s market cap is unchanged by stock splits. The decrease in price per share is offset by the increase in the number of shares you own.</p><p>For example, say Tesla is worth $900 before the split and you have one share. After the split, you&#39;ll have three shares, but each will be worth $300. Either way, you have $900. Of course, the value of Tesla stock may change as the market rises and falls from day to day, but that happens whether or not there&#39;s a split going on.</p><p>It&#39;s also worth noting that the price per share and price per options contract will be lower after the split, which will make non-fractional shares and options more accessible to small investors.</p><p><b>What Happens If You Buy Tesla Before The Split?</b></p><p>Buying Tesla stock before the split is not very different from buying it after the split or any other day. You&#39;d buy 3x fewer shares before the split as you would after the split in order to keep the total amount invested the same.</p><p><b>When Will Tesla Stock Split?</b></p><p>You will get two additional shares of Tesla stock for each share you already own on Wednesday, Aug. 24, after the market closes. Shares will trade at their post-split price starting on Thursday, Aug. 25.</p><p><b>How Many Times Has Tesla Stock Split?</b></p><p>This will be the second time that Tesla splits its stock. Tesla previously did a 5-for-1 stock split on Aug. 31, 2020. Shares have risen over 100% since then.</p><p><b>Is Tesla&#39;s Stock Split Good For Investors?</b></p><p>In other words, do stock splits impact performance? This is probably the most important question for most investors and also the most difficult to answer.</p><p>There&#39;s some evidence that companies that split their stock outperform in aggregate in the short term, perhaps in part because splitting allows some stocks to be included in indexes like the Dow and increases their accessibility to retail investors. However, looking at individual stocks, there are many cases where a stock declines around the time of its split. Thus, I wouldn&#39;t recommend betting on short-term price appreciation in a single stock because of its split.</p><p>However, splits certainly aren&#39;t bad news. They usually only happen after a stock has increased in value a lot, as Tesla stock has done over the past few years. Winners tend to keep winning, so betting on companies that already have done well can be a successful strategy.</p><p>Also, companies usually won&#39;t split their stock unless they believe that their share price will keep increasing. One reason is that there are minimum share price requirements to be listed on the NYSE and Nasdaq exchanges. That said, even at the post-split price of ~$300, Tesla is a long way from falling to the current $1 per share requirement.</p><p>Relative to more important considerations like earnings growth and valuation multiples, stock splits are essentially a neutral event for long-term investors. But in a vacuum, it&#39;s clear that stock splits are more positive than negative.</p><p><b>Q2 Earnings</b></p><p>Because the stock split doesn&#39;t impact Tesla&#39;s fundamentals, I won&#39;t adjust my target market cap for Tesla as a result of the split. However, I did update my price target for Tesla since my last article in June as a result of Tesla&#39;s Q2 earnings. I shared my updated $767 target with Tech Investing Edge members after Tesla reported.</p><p>I was disappointed by the earnings, mostly because I found slowing revenue growth more disappointing than a 27% EPS beat was impressive. After management constantly talked about Tesla&#39;s ability to maintain &gt;50% revenue growth over the coming quarters, growth fell to 42% in Q2. Considering that most Tesla models are heavily backordered, management correctly blamed the slowdown on production issues rather than a lack of demand. Even so, they admitted that 50% growth would be a more difficult target to attain going forward as they work to ramp up production.</p><p>I&#39;ve never believed Tesla&#39;s 50% growth target, and model them growing at a 25% CAGR over the coming decade. Nevertheless, I did expect them to stay above 50% for at least a few more quarters considering management&#39;s bullishness and my expectation for slower growth in the back half of the decade.</p><p>Despite the slowdown this quarter, I still think that my long-term 25% CAGR target is attainable, as even 42% growth is well above that level and management guided for a re-acceleration this quarter. Thus, despite being disappointed by the earnings, I raised my price target from $714 to $767 to account for Tesla&#39;s now-larger ttm revenue and EPS.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>Stock splits tend to get a lot of media coverage, but for long-term investors they&#39;re not a big deal. Tesla has been able to split its stock multiple times because the company and Tesla stock have done very well, but that&#39;s not a guarantee of future performance.</p><p>If Tesla continues beating analysts&#39; expectations and growing quickly, then the company and its investors will likely continue to do well. However, production issues and competition could stop Tesla from reaching this goal, and the current valuation doesn&#39;t leave much room for error. Based on my own growth estimates and profitability model, I think that Tesla is slightly overvalued going into its stock split. Nevertheless, I view Tesla stock as a hold, since ~14% overvaluation isn&#39;t extreme.</p><p><i>This article was written by Kennan Mell. </i></p><p><i>This article is for reference only.

Although NextEra isn&#39;t generating the same type of annual revenue growth as tech stocks, it<i>is</i>substantially outpacing the growth rate of pretty much all other utility stocks and has done so for more than a decade. Relative to its peers, NextEra is absolutely a supercharged growth stock.</p><p>What makes NextEra Energy such a superstar among utility stocks is its renewable-energy projects. Among U.S. utilities, none is generating more capacity from wind and solar. With up to $55 billion set aside for predominantly green energy projects between 2020 and 2022, and the company forecasting up to 36,900 megawatts of renewable energy projects in its backlog between 2022 and 2025, no other utility looks close to challenging NextEra as the renewable energy kingpin.</p><p>Although wind, solar, and energy storage projects can be costly, the company was able to take advantage of years of historically low interest rates to advance its green energy push. The end result is significantly reduced electricity generation costs and a compound annual growth rate that&#39;s stayed in the high single digits for over a decade.</p><p>As an added bonus, NextEra Energy is also a Dividend Aristocrat. This is a term bestowed on <b>S&amp;P 500</b>-listed companies that have raised their base annual dividend for at least 25 consecutive years. NextEra has increased its payout for 28 consecutive years, with management anticipating double-digit percentage increases in the company&#39;s base annual distribution through 2024.</p><p><b>Chewy</b></p><p>The third and final supercharged growth stock added to Warren Buffett&#39;s secret portfolio during the second quarter is online-based pet food and treats company <b>Chewy</b>. New England Asset Management opened its position with a stake of more than 1,600 shares.</p><p>One of the best aspects of pet industry stocks is that they&#39;re practically recession-proof. According to data from the American Pet Products Association, the percentage of U.S. households that own a pet hit an all-time high (at least during the APPA&#39;s period of survey-taking) of 70% in 2022. Further, it&#39;s been at least a quarter of a century, if not much longer, since year-over-year pet spending in the U.S. declined. No matter what you throw at pet owners, they&#39;re always willing to open their wallets to ensure the health and happiness of their furry, feathered, scaled, and gilled family members.</p><p>Aside from operating in a highly defensive industry,what makes Chewy so great is its online focus. Partnering with over 3,000 brands and offering north of 100,000 products online, Chewy has made itself a go-to e-commerce shop for pet owners. Since it doesn&#39;t have to spend its time guessing what products to put in brick-and-mortar stores, Chewy is able to generate juicier gross margins than most traditional retail operators in the pet industry.</p><p>What&#39;s more, Chewy is using innovation to its advantage. It recently partnered with <b>Trupanion</b> to introduce CarePlus, a health insurance and wellness plan that covers preventative care and surgeries.  The addressable pet insurance market in the U.S. has hardly been penetrated. This should give Chewy and Trupanion a long runway to offer what should be a high-margin insurance product.</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>Warren Buffett's Secret Portfolio Bought 3 New Supercharged Growth Stocks</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\">\nWarren Buffett's Secret Portfolio Bought 3 New Supercharged Growth Stocks\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-22 20:55 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/08/22/warren-buffett-secret-portfolio-buy-3-growth-stock/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSBuffett's amazing investing track record has led to a greater than 3,600,000% return for his company's shareholders since 1965.Due to an acquisition in 1998, Buffett has a \"hidden\" portfolio...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/08/22/warren-buffett-secret-portfolio-buy-3-growth-stock/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NVDA":"英伟达","CHWY":"Chewy, Inc.","NEP":"Nextera Energy Partners","BRK.A":"伯克希尔","BRK.B":"伯克希尔B"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/08/22/warren-buffett-secret-portfolio-buy-3-growth-stock/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2261517648","content_text":"KEY POINTSBuffett's amazing investing track record has led to a greater than 3,600,000% return for his company's shareholders since 1965.Due to an acquisition in 1998, Buffett has a \"hidden\" portfolio with $5.9 billion in assets under management.The latest round of 13F filings revealed three brand-new growth stocks added to Berkshire's secret portfolio during the second quarter.There are few investors who command the attention of a room quite like Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Since taking the reins in 1965, he's led his company's Class A shares (BRK.A) to an average annual gain of 20.1%, which translates into an aggregate return of 3,641,613%, as of the end of 2021. Though no investor is infallible, Buffett's knack for picking winners has earned him a captive audience.The easiest way for investors to ride the Oracle of Omaha's coattails is to track Berkshire Hathaway's required quarterlyForm 13Ffilings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).IMAGE SOURCE: THE MOTLEY FOOL.Buffett's \"hidden\" portfolio purchased three fast-growing companies in the second quarterA 13F is essentially a snapshot of what the brightest money managers with at least $100 million in assets under management were holding at the end of the most recent quarter. It allows investors to see what these fund managers have been buying, selling, and holding, as well as establish what trends or industries are piquing the attention of professional money managers. Berkshire Hathaway filed its 13F exactly one week ago today, on Aug. 15.However, you might be surprised to learn that Berkshire Hathaway's 13F fails to tell the full story behind Buffett's direct and indirect holdings. For instance, you won't find any information about Warren Buffett's most-purchased stock over the past four years in Berkshire's 13F. That's because stock buybacks are only disclosed in the company's quarterly operating results.

While the prize of this deal was the reinsurance operations, General Re also ran a specialty investment subsidiary known as New England Asset Management (NEAM). When the deal closed, NEAM and its assets under management became an owned entity of Berkshire Hathaway.Even though Buffett and his investment team don't oversee the $5.9 billion New England Asset Management has in assets under management (as of June 30), the securities NEAM owns are, ultimately, part of Berkshire Hathaway.According to New England Asset Management's latest 13F filing, Buffett's \"hidden\" portfolio bought three brand-new supercharged growth stocks.NvidiaAlthough the Oracle of Omaha isn't big on buying fast-growing tech stocks, he's now the proud indirect owner of shares of Nvidia. The 13F filing with the SEC notes that NEAM acquired more than 3,000 shares of the graphics card and networking solutions company during the second quarter.The thought process behind adding Nvidia probably has to do with some combination of shares losing about half their value at one point during the second quarter and the company's enticing longer-term growth outlook for a variety of its operating segments.While Nvidia is likely best-known for its graphics cards, which have performed relatively well with the release of new gaming consoles and the rise of cryptocurrency mining, it's the company's data center solutions that are its most intriguing growth driver.

Here's the 411 on what you need to know.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Wall Street and the investing community have been dealt a difficult hand in 2022. Since the beginning of the year, the benchmark <b>S&amp;P 500</b> and tech-centric <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> both entered bear market territory, the U.S. inflation rate skyrocketed to a 40-year high of 9.1% in June, and the U.S. economy delivered back-to-back quarters of gross domestic product declines, signaling a &#34;technical recession.&#34;</p><p>Yet amid this chaos, investors have gravitated to what&#39;s arguably the one silver lining this year: stock splits.

This includes one of the largest and most-popular stocks on the entire planet, electric-vehicle (EV) manufacturer <b>Tesla</b> (TSLA -0.84%). With Tesla&#39;s stock split rapidly approaching, here are five things investors should know.</p><h2>1. When the Tesla stock split will take place</h2><p>Perhaps the most pertinent piece of data for investors to know is when, exactly, Tesla&#39;s stock split will take place. The answer is exactly one week from today, on August 25, 2022 prior to the market open.</p><p>Keep in mind that it can sometimes take stock quote providers and online brokerages a few hours to a full day to recognize that a stock split has taken place. If you wake up and suddenly find that your investment portfolio has lost significant value overnight, or that Tesla&#39;s shares are being quoted down 60% or more on Aug. 25, there&#39;s a <i>very</i> good chance you can overlook this as a reporting error that&#39;ll quickly be remedied by the provider.</p><h2>2. The magnitude of the Tesla stock split</h2><p>The second important tidbit of information Tesla&#39;s current and prospective investors should know is the magnitude of the forward stock split.</p><p>In June, Tesla proposed enacting a 3-for-1 forward split. Effectively, this would reduce the company&#39;s share price to a third of its current value while increasing the company&#39;s outstanding share count by a factor of three. At the August 4 shareholder meeting, Tesla&#39;s shareholders voted to approve the company&#39;s proposed split.</p><p>Based on Tesla&#39;s closing price of $919.69 on August 16, a 3-for-1 stock split would reduce its share price to around $306.56 a share.</p><h2>3. The real winner of the upcoming Tesla split</h2><p>The third key point about Tesla&#39;s upcoming split is that it&#39;s a boon for everyday investors.</p><p>As noted, forward stock splits don&#39;t affect a company&#39;s market cap. In Tesla&#39;s case, its share price will fall to a third of its current value, while its outstanding share count will triple. But for retail investors without access to fractional-share purchases through their online broker, reducing the share price from almost $920 to just over $306 will be a big deal. It&#39;s a lot easier for everyday investors to set aside around $300 to buy a single share of Tesla than it would be to gather $900 for one share, as of the time of this writing.</p><p>There&#39;s no question that retail investors, who&#39;ve played a big role in pushing Tesla&#39;s valuation to nearly $1 trillion, are the biggest winners of the company&#39;s pending stock split.</p><h2>4. It won&#39;t affect Tesla&#39;s competitive advantages</h2><p>The fourth thing to know about Tesla&#39;s Aug. 25 stock split is that it&#39;ll have absolutely no impact on the company&#39;s day-to-day operations. That means it won&#39;t impact the competitive advantages Tesla has ridden to one of the largest corporate valuations in the world.</p><p>Aside from the fact that no other auto company built itself from the ground up to mass production in over five decades, Tesla could reach an important psychological milestone this year. Even with COVID-19 lockdowns hurting production at the Shanghai gigafactory, the company looks to be well on its way to reaching 1 million EVs produced and delivered in 2022.</p><p>In addition to production advantages, Tesla&#39;s batteries continue to be a bright spot in an increasingly crowded industry. Compared to most other EV offerings, the power, range, and capacity offered by Tesla&#39;s batteries are superior. This is what&#39;s helped create such incredible demand for the company&#39;s EV lineup.</p><p>There&#39;s also CEO Elon Musk, who the retail investor community has largely come to embrace as a visionary. Musk has overseen the introduction of four currently sold EV models, and has helped diversify his company to include energy storage products and solar panel installation.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6b77e18ca8474442b6d19e436ce17b0b\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"394\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>A Tesla Model S charging. Image source: Tesla.</p><h2>5. It also won&#39;t hide the company&#39;s longer-term risks</h2><p>The fifth and final thing to know about Tesla&#39;s impending stock split next week is that it&#39;s also not going to sweep the company&#39;s longer-term risks under the rug.</p><p>Although Tesla share price has been on fire for more than a decade, there are a number of red flags that suggest this amazing run-up isn&#39;t sustainable. For example, auto stocks are traditionally valued at a single-digit or very low double-digit forward-year price-to-earnings ratio. As for Tesla, investors are having to pay an aggressive multiple of 58 times Wall Street&#39;s forecast earnings for 2023. Even with Tesla being somewhat diversified, this is a lofty multiple for a company that predominantly makes a commoditized product.</p><p>Another big concern for Tesla shareholders is Elon Musk. While he might be considered a visionary by many, he&#39;s also become a major liability. Putting aside the circus that&#39;s accompanied his prospective takeover of social media stock <b>Twitter</b>, Musk has a terrible habit of failing to deliver on his promises. As I&#39;ve previously highlighted, Musk&#39;s promises to put 1 million robotaxis on the road, deliver higher-level full self-driving, and bring the Cybertruck and Tesla Semi into production, have all been pushed back one or more years.</p><p>Lastly, Tesla&#39;s competitive advantages already look to be waning. While the company does offer a sizable EV production advantage, both new and legacy auto stocks are catching up to Tesla when it comes to battery range. With legacy automakers spending tens of billions on EV research and product development, it&#39;s probably going to take more than short-term stock-split euphoria to hold shares at such a premium valuation.</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>Tesla Stock Split: 5 Things to Know About the Upcoming Split</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 Stock Split: 5 Things to Know About the Upcoming Split\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-18 19:33 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/08/18/tesla-stock-split-5-things-to-know-about-the-split/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Wall Street and the investing community have been dealt a difficult hand in 2022.

But on a Fri","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/60d6c00a61a62e50a7c0c72dd49d67cc\" tg-width=\"1400\" tg-height=\"1050\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>For most movie fans, their dream selfie with a Hollywood star never quite materializes. But on a Friday night in June, Bruce and Deborah Cooke spotted one of their favorite movie heroes, just feet away. They moved in and asked for a photo.</p><p>Adam Aron, the chairman and chief executive officer ofAMC Entertainment Holdings Inc., greeted the couple warmly, making small talk as they arranged themselves for the camera. Bruce was dressed in slacks and a button-down. Deborah wore a striking green dress. “I put my arm around you, I go to jail,” Aron, who’s 67, playfully said to Deborah, who’s 55. Everyone laughed.</p><p>Three days earlier, Aron had announced on Twitter that he would personally be hosting a screening of Pixar’s new movie,<i>Lightyear</i>, at an AMC theater in Olathe, Kan. The Cookes, who together own a small mortgage company in Sacramento, had vowed on the spot to make the pilgrimage to Kansas.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/26d2f8d2a68830ff364ec91c9beb7be7\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"800\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>The entire AMC saga meant so much to them. During the onset of the pandemic, when movie theaters were hastily shuttered, they bought their first batch of AMC stock. Moviegoing, they believed, would eventually bounce back. Plus, they thought it was cruel that a subset of investors were trying to force the company into bankruptcy. So the Cookes joined a legion of outsider traders, loosely organized on the Reddit forumr/wallstreetbets, who were swarming to AMC’s down-and-out stock, driving up its share price and sticking it to the skeptical short sellers and hedge funds betting big on the company’s failure. The Cookes recruited their loved ones to join them. “We got a lot of friends involved,” Deborah says.</p><p>On social media, people started calling their pugnacious tribe theAMC Apes, as in<i>Planet of the Apes</i>, the movie about a primate uprising. By Wall Street standards, they might be primitive, but they possessed power in numbers.</p><p>Better yet, they had a fearless leader atop AMC, an alpha CEO who grunted and roared on Twitter, throwing feces, so to speak, at their enemies (recurring hashtag: #LetThemEatCrow) and beating his chest every time a movie performed well at the box office (#CHOKEonTHAT). Aron hired Nicole Kidman tostar in several AMC promotionsand bellowed tirelessly about her bravura performance, dubbing the glamorous actor “the first lady of AMC.” The whole thing had a King-Kong-palming-a-fair-maiden vibe. The Apes were ecstatic.</p><p>Now, after a flight to Dallas, a four-hour drive to Tulsa, a break for the night, several more hours on the road, and another respite at a crummy hotel, the Cookes were right where they wanted to be, standing loyally at the Silverback’s side. After capturing their trophy shot, the California couple took their seats. With a few minutes left before the start of the previews, the place was far from full—a slightly ominous development, which the Cookes would later chalk up to “the bad guys,” aka the hedge funds, who they suspected had snapped up tickets and let them go unused to make AMC look bad. Anything to drive down the company’s share price. “There’s no telling what [they] will do,” Deborah says.</p><p>“He creates a sound, a song, a whistle from his pipe that will cause people to gravitate preferentially to whatever business in the sector that he is running”</p><p>At the front of the theater, Aron got up, gave a shoutout to the Apes, and acknowledged that the pandemic had been difficult. But the vaccines were working. Movies were storming back. “Our investors are passionate,” he said. “They like AMC as a company. They don’t think I’m that bad either. But most of all, they really want to see movie theaters survive.”</p><p>At first glance, Aron, who became CEO of AMC in 2016, might not seem like a natural candidate to lead a successful investor insurgency. For much of his career he worked as a well-compensated turnaround artist, the kind of mercenary operator with the right pedigree (Harvard Business School) and right demeanor (bombastically self-assured) who gets hired to fix up a faltering company and maybe sell it off at a nice markup. If anything, Aron seemed like a well-sharpened tool of the Wall Street establishment, not of the internet masses.</p><p>But the pandemic shook up the entertainment cosmos and exposed a surprising lack of leadership in Hollywood. Amid all the halted productions and scrambled release schedules, everyone looked around for somebody to rally the American people behind the movie industry. When no compelling candidates emerged from the studios or the streaming services, Aron charged headlong into the void.</p><p>He’s spent his entire career perfecting the art of stunt marketing and the science of customer loyalty programs. Ideal training, in other words, for this weird new zeitgeist in the business world, one that favors combative, incautious, performative CEOs (see:Musk, Elon) who can draw loyal swarms of fans online and compel them to buy their products, pump up their stock price, and troll their critics. “He has an almost Pied Piper-ish ability to attract people,” says Darryl Hartley-Leonard, former CEO of Hyatt Hotels Corp., who hired Aron at Hyatt in the 1980s. “He creates a sound, a song, a whistle from his pipe that will cause people to gravitate preferentially to whatever business in the sector that he is running.”</p><p>With AMC, that whistle has taken the form of meme-y membership schemes, free-for-all earnings calls, acomical stock ticker (APE), and the bizarre acquisition of a72,000-acre gold mine. Having narrowly navigated the company through the dark days of the early pandemic and taken his followers with him on a Hollywood blockbuster-worthy ride, Aron is now facing a much more fundamental challenge: holding the entire rickety, debt-laden enterprise together during a time of rising inflation, falling stocks, accelerating economic pressure, and a troop of Apes that might finally be questioning its alpha.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/20522e4c8b6fbdb61e5f3ebad3fe7c6b\" tg-width=\"650\" tg-height=\"348\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Mission control for Aron isn’t Los Angeles or New York or even Las Vegas.AMC’s headquartersis in Kansas. The offices are housed in a sleek, glass-clad structure in Leawood, a prosperous suburb of Kansas City. The heart of the building is an open, spacious “test seating area” that doubles as a gathering spot. Throughout the workday, staffers can grab a snack and watch whatever is playing on its jumbo screen, from the latest Hollywood trailers to an afternoon Royals game.</p><p>Beginning in 2016, employees would occasionally glance up and see cable news channels airing live interviews with their new CEO, who’d arrived right after fixing up and selling off Starwood Hotels &amp; Resorts Worldwide.</p><p>Aron typically shows up at a company looking as thoroughly distressed as the properties he’s swooping in to save. The strands of his comb-over meander across his head, sometimes losing a few stragglers en route. His wardrobe, friends and former colleagues note, is remarkably beaten up for a multimillionaire executive. Even on a sunny day, he can look like a man who just parachuted in through a tempest: suit wrinkled, tie stained, shirttail flapping in the wind.</p><p>When Aron took over AMC, the entire theater business was facing mounting pressure. Shopping malls, which had long enjoyed a rich, symbiotic relationship with AMC multiplexes, were losing customers to online retail, jeopardizing foot traffic to ticket booths. Meanwhile, American viewers were growing increasingly enchanted with streaming networks such as Netflix.</p><p>Not long after joining the company, Aron met with Wang Jianlin, head of the Dalian Wanda Group, a Chinese conglomerate, then the majority owner of AMC. He proceeded to show Wang a list he’d drawn up of 10 things to better position AMC for the future. One idea was to revamp its customer loyalty program, AMC Stubs. Another was to expand the company through acquisitions. Wang particularly liked the notion of supersizing AMC.</p><p>Aron soon embarked on a $3 billion buying spree, snapping up three major theater chains in the US and Europe. By the spring of 2017 he’d made AMC into a colossus, with more than 10,000 screens in 15 countries. Aron—who has a professional wrestling promoter’s penchant for speaking in grandiose, history-in-the-making superlatives—could now brag about AMC on a planetary scale. “The largest in the US, the largest in Europe, and the largest globally,” he says.</p><p>He threw himself into every aspect of the operations, spiffing up the company’s pre-movie promos; stiff-arming a startup,MoviePass Inc., that was elbowing into the loyalty rewards market for moviegoers; and flavor-jamming AMC’s food menu with the kind of flamboyance thatGuy Fierimight relish. Before long, Aron was touting AMC’s giant new pretzel, a salty 1.5-pound behemoth dubbed the Bavarian Legend.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b60a0ecf9ad876f2376ae392e6e04605\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"899\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Aron at AMC’s headquarters in Leawood, Kan.Photographer: Shawn Brackbill for Bloomberg Businessweek</p><p>Although he was a relative newbie to the film industry, Aron had popcorn in his blood. In the 1930s his grandfather, a convivial, politically connected businessman, co-founded a successful company called Berlo Vending. Among other things, Berlo sold all the popcorn in all the movie theaters of eastern Pennsylvania. “By the time I came around, whatever family fortune there was had pretty much been squandered,” says Aron, who grew up in a middle-class Philadelphia suburb.</p><p>Like his father, an ad man who regularly acted in an amateur theater troupe, Aron gravitated to the spotlight. By high school he was a math whiz, hockey goalie, and hammy stage performer. His comedic speeches playing up the life-altering sacrifices he’d made on behalf of his classmates won him the office of class treasurer twice. Once, as president of his high school’s Key Club, he organized a fundraiser basketball game that went on for 100 straight hours—which, according to Aron, set a Guinness World Record. When he discovered a catalog that sold slightly aged Hollywood film reels by mail, he rallied friends to construct a plywood screen in their school’s auditorium, where they charged for showings of<i>Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid</i>,<i>Cool Hand Luke</i>, and, of course,<i>Planet of the Apes</i>. The money poured into the coffers of the senior class. “What he was like then is what he is like now,” says Aron’s high school buddy Ashton Carter, who decades later would serve as secretary of defense under Barack Obama. “He could always convince a diverse group of people to get behind his vision.”</p><p>After graduating from Harvard in three years, Aron stayed to get his MBA. He studied marketing, was elected co-president of the school’s transportation club, and was captain of the hockey team. While many of his peers beelined for the riches of Wall Street, he took a job with the airline Pan Am, which by 1979 was well past its glory years. A top executive, Stephen Wolf, was looking for someone who could create more loyalty among the airline’s dwindling customers. “The problem is that anybody who was semi-young and had half a brain had sensibly and correctly left Pan Am long ago,” recalls Wolf, who went on to become CEO of United Airlines. “I found Adam in the bowels of the organization somewhere.”</p><p>Aron concocted Pan Am’s first frequent-flyers club and suddenly found himself on the fast track. He’d go on to create or reengineer loyalty programs for Western Airlines (TravelPass); Hyatt Hotels (Gold Passport); United Airlines (MileagePlus); Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL Latitudes); Vail Resorts (Peaks); the Philadelphia 76ers (the Franklin Club)—and, eventually, AMC (Stubs). “Adam is a pioneer of loyalty management,” says high school pal Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, now a professor at the Yale School of Management.</p><p>In the late ’80s, Hyatt Hotels CEO Hartley-Leonard hired Aron to serve as a top marketing executive. “When he came in, he really was the most disheveled human being that you’d ever seen,” Hartley-Leonard says. “The problem with Adam is that his body is deformed such that his shirt doesn’t stay in his trousers.” Aron proved to be an unusually crafty marketer who generated ideas nonstop for winning over customers from rivals and for garnering free publicity, says his former boss. He also periodically mesmerized his colleagues with stunts, like the time he floated into an executive meeting on a custom-made dirigible. “Jay Pritzker [whose family owned Hyatt] turned to me and said, ‘What the f--- did this cost?’ ” Hartley-Leonard recalls. “I said, ‘Leave Adam alone. That’s who he is.’ ”</p><p>In 1996, Apollo Global Management Inc. was in the market for someone to turn around Vail Resorts, the ski resort operator. By the time Aron left that job 10 years later, he’d diversified the company’s business model and more than quintupled revenue. “Vail was transformative,” says Marc Rowan, Apollo’s billionaire CEO. “He did an unbelievable job.”</p><p>So much so that when Rowan’s partner, billionaire Apollo co-founder Joshua Harris, led a group of investors to acquire middling NBA team the 76ers in 2011, they installed Aron, a minority owner, to usher in a franchise turnaround. Of course, his first order of business was a barrage of promotional schemes. He made the team’s dance squad larger. He added Julius Erving as a consultant. He showered fans in confetti. And even though he’d step aside as CEO only two years later following another lousy season, he still left an Aron-shaped imprint on the franchise:“Big Bella,”the world’s largest T-shirt launcher, a cartoonishly massive, 600 pound, multibarrel leviathan that looks like something Mad Max might have mounted on a battle tank.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/788e4b080973d8a9e6c27d08e72d96b3\" tg-width=\"800\" tg-height=\"534\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>The 2011 press conference to announce Apollo Global Management’s acquisition of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers. For two years, Aron was the team’s CEO.Photo: Getty Images</p><p>As the world locked down in 2020, Aron’s acquisition binge looked disastrous. AMC, saddled with $5 billion in debt, was forced to hastily shut down 1,000 theaters worldwide. He furloughed most of roughly 26,000 workers. “You know what they don’t teach in Harvard Business School?” he says. “The zero-revenue case.”</p><p>AMC warned in a filing that it was weeks away from running out of cash. Bankruptcy seemed imminent. But Aron harbored a deep, abiding dislike for what he calls “Bankruptcy Inc.” In his 30s he’d spent months fighting off the vulturous bankruptcy professionals hungrily circling Norwegian Cruise Line. At one point, he recalls indignantly, the CEO of rival Carnival Corp. predicted publicly that Norwegian would file for bankruptcy within months—but it never happened. “I’m very pleased to have proven him wrong,” Aron says.</p><p>Seven months into the pandemic, there were whispers on Wall Street and in the press that AMC could be filing for Chapter 11 any day. Aron scrambled to buy more time, renegotiating AMC’s rent payments with its landlords and looking for some way to ride out the pandemic disruptions.</p><p>Eventually he found a lifeline in Jason Mudrick, a lantern-jawed, poker-playing graduate of Harvard Law School, who runs Mudrick Capital Management LP, a $3.4 billion hedge fund specializing in distressed businesses. Unlike financial advisers and lawyers who make money on fees when a bankruptcy is filed, Mudrick’s firm loans money to companies facing near-death circumstances. If the company recovers, the capital is repaid handsomely. If not, the fund can seize collateral or control. In December 2020, Mudrick loaned AMC $100 million, receiving an equity stake in return. Other lenders followed.</p><p>News of the loans reached retail investors just as a strange new energy began coursing through Wall Street. Thanks to some combustible mix of pandemic-induced boredom, intemperance, and ingenuity, the meme-stock phenomenon was taking off. Day traders on Reddit were identifying downtrodden, heavily shorted stocks, then piling in collectively, pushing up the share price, and hyping the frenzy on social media to rope in more buyers. It had already happened with GameStop Corp.</p><p>Then it was AMC’s turn. From January to early June it soared from $2 to more than $62. Along the way, Aron seized on the freakish moment by issuing new equity at the heightened prices, replenishing AMC’s coffers.</p><p>By June 2021, 4 million retail investors had bought up more than 80% of the company’s shares. Aron knew from his years optimizing stunts and membership schemes that first you capture their attention, then you get them hooked. “It was just as true with our shareholders in the year 2021 as it was with airline passengers in 1981,” he says. So he designed a program that bridged the meme world with the real one: Buying AMC’s stock would get you movie-related perks.</p><p>With AMC Investor Connect, after purchasing the company’s shares and signing up for its existing Stubs rewards program, you’d be given access to discounts at theaters, invitations to movie screenings with Aron, and a free tub of popcorn. The new program may have seemed gauche to the traditional Wall Street crowd, but it gave an air of exclusivity to everyman investors, even if the benefits were fairly silly. By 2022 the program would swell to more than 700,000 members.</p><p>Aron with Kidman, whom he describes as “the first lady of AMC.”Source: Adam Aron</p><p>Meanwhile, Aron began doubling down on his new AMC persona. Dating back to his time with the 76ers, he’d been an active social media user, albeit with fewer followers and more mishaps. At an investor roundtable last year, he was briefly caught on Zoom untrousered, according to a participant. In June 2021 he was doing a remoteinterview with a YouTube market influencerwhen he accidentally bumped his webcam, which swiveled downward to reveal that, once again, he wasn’t wearing pants. Some AMC fans speculated that the YouTube incident was another one of Aron’s public-relations stunts. When asked about it, Aron declined to comment. “I would be the first to admit that I can be iconoclastic,” he says.</p><p>As his audience grew, he’d spend an hour a day on Twitter, reading feedback from the Apes and crafting truculent messages. He’d quote Winston Churchill on an earnings call—“We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds”—or retweet a depiction of himself wearing a chef’s hat, holding a cleaver, and standing over a dead crow. By lacing his act with combative emotion, Aron infused AMC fandom with the kind of fervent personal identification once reserved for political parties and sports teams. Any analyst who’d dare question AMC’s prospects could expect to receive a torrent of online vitriol, even death threats, from hismore than 268,000 Twitter followers.</p><p>While the Apes ate up his bellicose energy, continuing to buy up shares and vowing to hold them long-term, Aron and AMC’s other major investors began looking to cash out. With the stock riding high, everyone from the Dalian Wanda Group to Mudrick Capital to other top AMC executives were either selling off the bulk of their shares or eyeing the exits.</p><p>Aron wasn’t going to let the opportunity pass. He enjoyed the perks of swank living as much as the next scorekeeping CEO, buying and selling over the years a portfolio of luxury properties from Beaver Creek, Colo., to Miami Beach. On Nov. 10, 2021, he revealed that for “estate planning” purposes he was unloading 625,000 AMC shares worth $25 million. The following month, he sold an additional chunk for $9.65 million. The family popcorn fortune, once squandered, was now restored. “Many of his friends went off into consulting and investment banking,” says high school friend Sonnenfeld. “Those people made more money initially. But he’s closed the gap a lot.”</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/82b063380f89c7eca208a72fd34d0a9d\" tg-width=\"600\" tg-height=\"800\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Aron with Mudrick at the Hycroft gold and silver mine in Nevada.</p><p>Around midnight on Sunday, March 13, after landing at a tiny two-runway airport in rural Nevada, Aron headed to a nearby Best Western to catch a few hours of sleep. Several days earlier he’d gotten a call from Mudrick, who pitched him on an opportunity for AMC that had nothing to do with the movie business. Mudrick’s hedge fund owned a stake inHycroft Mining Holding Corp., a struggling operation in northwestern Nevada. To remain solvent, the company needed a quick cash infusion to appease its lenders. He wanted to know if AMC wanted in on a literal gold mine.</p><p>Although Aron was familiar with a long list of industries, mining wasn’t one of them. But he was an expert at financial engineering, not to mention the strange metallurgy of transforming a business crisis into a windfall—and a spectacle. In recent months he’d been toying with diversifying AMC beyond theaters. There were plans to sell movie-themed merchandise, AMC-branded nonfungible tokens (NFTs), and, maybe someday, a branded credit card and cryptocurrency. Already in the works was AMC Perfectly Popcorn, which will be sold in supermarkets across the US next year. “Watch out, Orville Redenbacher,” he said on an earnings call on March 1.</p><p>Aron told Mudrick he was interested. The hedge fund executive explained that they’d have to move fast: They had five days before the cost of the deal would significantly increase. Hycroft’s share price was rising, and Nasdaq rules required Aron to buy his stake at a share price that averaged the previous five days’ trading levels.</p><p>So Mudrick corralled a jet in Teterboro, N.J., flew to Miami, picked up AMC Lead Director Philip Lader, then fetched Aron and AMC’s general counsel, Kevin Connor, who were on a work trip in Dallas. While in the air to Nevada, Mudrick and Aron batted around the numbers and dug into dinner. Mudrick ate a steak. Aron put away a seafood medley.</p><p>Now, at 6 a.m., they arose in the dark at the hotel and set off for the mine. They drove past Winnemucca, a long-in-the-tooth railroad town where Butch Cassidy had once robbed a bank and the cellphone service was abysmal. The sun rose over the Black Rock Desert, a Martian landscape of dry playas and craggy, arid mountains. After two hours they arrived at theHycroft Mine, a dusty archipelagoof geological debris, jumbo trucks, and gaping holes in the ground—a toddler’s idea of heaven. They squeezed into a temporary office, the only place in the vicinity with Wi-Fi. For the next several hours, Aron and Mudrick took turns persuading lenders and board members to approve the sale. They inked the deal with a few minutes to spare.</p><p>On March 15, when Aron announced that AMC was acquiring 22% of the largely dormant mine for $28 million, he got roughly the same reaction he’d triggered years earlier with his dirigible. Jaws dropped. Minds reeled. Somehow a recently distressed movie theater chain, saved by a hedge fund specializing in distressed lending, pumped up by retail investors profiting on distressed stocks, was now part owner of a distressed gold and silver mine, in a water-distressed pocket of the country, on a pandemic-distressed planet. The whole thing felt like a national parable. In America in 2022, distress was the new gold—or maybe fool’s gold. It was hard to say for certain.</p><p>Much of the press and most analysts derided the move as just another gimmick, while others opined that the money should’ve been used to pay down the company’s exorbitant debt. But on Twitter, Aron was busy retweeting memes of himself draped in gold chains. His rationale for the investment, he said: Only two years earlier, AMC was in free fall; now it could deploy everything it learned to another underdog business.</p><p>The loyal Apes followed him into the mineshaft, sending the penny stock sailing and netting AMC a $30 million profit. With the share price soaring, Hycroft took a page from the AMC playbook and offered more equity. Mudrick had initially hoped to raise $20 million. Thanks to the AMC bump, they wound up raising $200 million. Says Mudrick of Aron: “He could convince an Eskimo to buy ice.”</p><p>So what exactly is AMC at this point? A legacy theater chain with a penchant for shiny objects? A precious-metals multiplex exhibitor venture fund?</p><p>Last year, in a magnanimous gesture to the Apes, Aron tweaked the format of AMC’s quarterly earnings calls, allowing consumers to pose questions directly to the company’s brass. The inquiries of amateurs, he says, are often better than the ones from the professionals. “Not to be disrespectful to security analysts, but they often use earnings calls to build their financial models,” he says, segueing into an imitation of a squeaky-voiced analyst posing a tediously small-bore question.</p><p>The stroke of populism has annoyed some of the pros. “These are the most painful calls for me to listen to of any in my career,” says Hunter Martin, an analyst at Creditsights Inc., a research shop. “The rhetoric is … very us vs. them, retail investor and common man. That’s their narrative. To their credit, they’re talking about the things that are important to those people. But it comes at a cost to more traditional investors who want to hear the numbers.”</p><p><b>The Face That Launched a Thousand Memes</b></p><p>Aron’s fans will send him homemade memes of the CEO’s face hacked onto a movie poster, which he praises and tweets to his 268,000 Twitter followers</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/32e77d080b7c7f197793148442df6b6d\" tg-width=\"400\" tg-height=\"522\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: Twitter<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/beabe7f722197aa352c08fde8d207cf2\" tg-width=\"400\" tg-height=\"602\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Source: TwitterSource: Twitter</p><p>There may be good reason to create some distractions. In a recent report, Bloomberg Intelligence projected that the 2022 domestic box-office numbers will come in at $7.5 billion, a significant boost from 2021’s $4.5 billion—but still just 66% of pre-pandemic levels. Meanwhile, 2022 has been a brutal environment for media companies, whose stock prices have tumbled across the board. The studios that supply AMC with its primary product are all facing potentially severe cutbacks of their own. Keeping the Apes amped won’t be easy. “Regardless of a brighter outlook, we fear that the 4 million-plus retail investors who have driven a 2,000%-plus surge in the stock may flip and eventually cash out, prompting more volatility,” Bloomberg Intelligence noted late last year.</p><p>For much of the summer, AMC’s share price was hovering in the $12 to $17 range. On AMC fan boards, many Apes were itching for a new rally. For months there’d been chatter about the coming Mother of All Short Squeezes—a moment, it was foretold, when the Silverback would once again rear up and smite AMC’s enemies and somehow send the share price back up. As to the timing, everyone dug through the mud of Aron’s tweets looking for buried clues.</p><p>Without any clear signs of action, frustration was evident. At AMC’s annual meeting in June, shareholders rejected the company’s executive pay plan, which in 2021 rewarded Aron with $18.9 million in total compensation. “I don’t think any of them need more money yet,” says Deborah Cooke, the AMC superfan from the Kansas screening.</p><p>Aron shook off the intra-simian setback. During the same annual meeting in June, he told shareholders that AMC would be creating a $100 million fund to invest in other businesses. First came the gold mine; who knows what could be next. “There are a number of things that we looked at that we rejected, either because it wasn’t interesting enough, or there was too much risk, or the financial returns weren’t attractive enough,” he says. “But I’m sure we’ll find other opportunities as we turn over every rock.”</p><p>AMC’s early gains on its Hycroft shares have already all but disappeared as the miner’s stock rally faded, though Aron has said he sees Hycroft as a longer-term investment, to net profits as the mine expands operations.</p><p>So what exactly is AMC at this point? A legacy theater chain with a penchant for shiny objects? A precious-metals multiplex exhibitor venture fund? Or, as Bloomberg Opinion columnistMatt Levine described it this spring, “a merchant bank that helps small companies do meme-driven at-the-market offerings and takes equity for its fee”? Aron sticks with the most anodyne of explanations: “We are a movie theater company that is looking to diversify,” he says.</p><p>In early August, with signs of Ape dissatisfaction still smoldering online, AMC reported second-quarter results that topped analysts’ estimates and revealed a plan to create a new class of preferred AMC equity, which will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Aug. 22 under the new ticker “APE.” Aron promptly uncorked a tweetstorm, explaining the “game-changing” strategy, which he compared to playing “3-D chess.”</p><p>For each share of AMC Class A common stock, shareholders would be given a preferred equity unit as a dividend. Once the trading commenced, investors would be able to buy and sell them normally. In the future, at Aron’s discretion, the company would be able to issue new APE shares to raise additional money for potential moves such as paying down debt or making acquisitions. Such issuance could, of course, reduce the value of the outstanding shares that Apes cling to. Using the all-caps style often seen in the Ape vernacular, Aron summed up the slightly byzantine proceedings in terms everyone in the community could easily understand. “TODAY … WE … POUNCE,” he wrote.</p><p>While the reaction from professional analysts was mixed, the Reddit crowd went wild. By the following day, AMC gained 19%, to close at $22.18, a four-month high.</p><p>In spite of all the grim news in the broader market, things were looking up. Historically, Aron says, movie theaters have weathered economic downturns better than more expensive forms of entertainment. “I’ve been selling tickets all my life,” he says. “I’ve sold cruise tickets, lift tickets, game tickets. I’m still selling tickets.”</p><p>Over the summer he began selling something else—commemorative Thor hammersto promote Marvel’s<i>Thor: Love and Thunder</i>. For $39.99, fans could buy their very own version of the powerful god’s favorite weapon, reimagined in a handy new form: a warlike popcorn container. Aron appears almost as excited about the popcorn hammer as the gold mine. “We’ve sold 40,000 of them already.”</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1584095487587","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>AMC’s CEO Will Do Whatever It Takes to Keep His Company a Meme Forever</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\">\nAMC’s CEO Will Do Whatever It Takes to Keep His Company a Meme Forever\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-17 21:29 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2022-08-17/amc-amc-stock-became-a-meme-thanks-to-adam-aron-s-antics><strong>Bloomberg</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>For most movie fans, their dream selfie with a Hollywood star never quite materializes.

But on a Friday night in June, Bruce and Deborah Cooke spotted one of their favorite movie heroes, just feet away. They moved in and asked for a photo.Adam Aron, the chairman and chief executive officer ofAMC Entertainment Holdings Inc., greeted the couple warmly, making small talk as they arranged themselves for the camera. Bruce was dressed in slacks and a button-down. Deborah wore a striking green dress. “I put my arm around you, I go to jail,” Aron, who’s 67, playfully said to Deborah, who’s 55. Everyone laughed.Three days earlier, Aron had announced on Twitter that he would personally be hosting a screening of Pixar’s new movie,Lightyear, at an AMC theater in Olathe, Kan. The Cookes, who together own a small mortgage company in Sacramento, had vowed on the spot to make the pilgrimage to Kansas.The entire AMC saga meant so much to them. During the onset of the pandemic, when movie theaters were hastily shuttered, they bought their first batch of AMC stock. Moviegoing, they believed, would eventually bounce back. Plus, they thought it was cruel that a subset of investors were trying to force the company into bankruptcy. So the Cookes joined a legion of outsider traders, loosely organized on the Reddit forumr/wallstreetbets, who were swarming to AMC’s down-and-out stock, driving up its share price and sticking it to the skeptical short sellers and hedge funds betting big on the company’s failure. The Cookes recruited their loved ones to join them. “We got a lot of friends involved,” Deborah says.On social media, people started calling their pugnacious tribe theAMC Apes, as inPlanet of the Apes, the movie about a primate uprising. By Wall Street standards, they might be primitive, but they possessed power in numbers.Better yet, they had a fearless leader atop AMC, an alpha CEO who grunted and roared on Twitter, throwing feces, so to speak, at their enemies (recurring hashtag: #LetThemEatCrow) and beating his chest every time a movie performed well at the box office (#CHOKEonTHAT). Aron hired Nicole Kidman tostar in several AMC promotionsand bellowed tirelessly about her bravura performance, dubbing the glamorous actor “the first lady of AMC.” The whole thing had a King-Kong-palming-a-fair-maiden vibe. The Apes were ecstatic.Now, after a flight to Dallas, a four-hour drive to Tulsa, a break for the night, several more hours on the road, and another respite at a crummy hotel, the Cookes were right where they wanted to be, standing loyally at the Silverback’s side. After capturing their trophy shot, the California couple took their seats. With a few minutes left before the start of the previews, the place was far from full—a slightly ominous development, which the Cookes would later chalk up to “the bad guys,” aka the hedge funds, who they suspected had snapped up tickets and let them go unused to make AMC look bad. Anything to drive down the company’s share price. “There’s no telling what [they] will do,” Deborah says.“He creates a sound, a song, a whistle from his pipe that will cause people to gravitate preferentially to whatever business in the sector that he is running”At the front of the theater, Aron got up, gave a shoutout to the Apes, and acknowledged that the pandemic had been difficult. But the vaccines were working. Movies were storming back. “Our investors are passionate,” he said. “They like AMC as a company. They don’t think I’m that bad either. But most of all, they really want to see movie theaters survive.”At first glance, Aron, who became CEO of AMC in 2016, might not seem like a natural candidate to lead a successful investor insurgency. For much of his career he worked as a well-compensated turnaround artist, the kind of mercenary operator with the right pedigree (Harvard Business School) and right demeanor (bombastically self-assured) who gets hired to fix up a faltering company and maybe sell it off at a nice markup. If anything, Aron seemed like a well-sharpened tool of the Wall Street establishment, not of the internet masses.But the pandemic shook up the entertainment cosmos and exposed a surprising lack of leadership in Hollywood. Amid all the halted productions and scrambled release schedules, everyone looked around for somebody to rally the American people behind the movie industry. When no compelling candidates emerged from the studios or the streaming services, Aron charged headlong into the void.He’s spent his entire career perfecting the art of stunt marketing and the science of customer loyalty programs. Ideal training, in other words, for this weird new zeitgeist in the business world, one that favors combative, incautious, performative CEOs (see:Musk, Elon) who can draw loyal swarms of fans online and compel them to buy their products, pump up their stock price, and troll their critics. “He has an almost Pied Piper-ish ability to attract people,” says Darryl Hartley-Leonard, former CEO of Hyatt Hotels Corp., who hired Aron at Hyatt in the 1980s. “He creates a sound, a song, a whistle from his pipe that will cause people to gravitate preferentially to whatever business in the sector that he is running.”With AMC, that whistle has taken the form of meme-y membership schemes, free-for-all earnings calls, acomical stock ticker (APE), and the bizarre acquisition of a72,000-acre gold mine. Having narrowly navigated the company through the dark days of the early pandemic and taken his followers with him on a Hollywood blockbuster-worthy ride, Aron is now facing a much more fundamental challenge: holding the entire rickety, debt-laden enterprise together during a time of rising inflation, falling stocks, accelerating economic pressure, and a troop of Apes that might finally be questioning its alpha.Mission control for Aron isn’t Los Angeles or New York or even Las Vegas.AMC’s headquartersis in Kansas. The offices are housed in a sleek, glass-clad structure in Leawood, a prosperous suburb of Kansas City. The heart of the building is an open, spacious “test seating area” that doubles as a gathering spot. Throughout the workday, staffers can grab a snack and watch whatever is playing on its jumbo screen, from the latest Hollywood trailers to an afternoon Royals game.Beginning in 2016, employees would occasionally glance up and see cable news channels airing live interviews with their new CEO, who’d arrived right after fixing up and selling off Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.Aron typically shows up at a company looking as thoroughly distressed as the properties he’s swooping in to save. The strands of his comb-over meander across his head, sometimes losing a few stragglers en route. His wardrobe, friends and former colleagues note, is remarkably beaten up for a multimillionaire executive. Even on a sunny day, he can look like a man who just parachuted in through a tempest: suit wrinkled, tie stained, shirttail flapping in the wind.When Aron took over AMC, the entire theater business was facing mounting pressure. Shopping malls, which had long enjoyed a rich, symbiotic relationship with AMC multiplexes, were losing customers to online retail, jeopardizing foot traffic to ticket booths. Meanwhile, American viewers were growing increasingly enchanted with streaming networks such as Netflix.Not long after joining the company, Aron met with Wang Jianlin, head of the Dalian Wanda Group, a Chinese conglomerate, then the majority owner of AMC. He proceeded to show Wang a list he’d drawn up of 10 things to better position AMC for the future. One idea was to revamp its customer loyalty program, AMC Stubs. Another was to expand the company through acquisitions. Wang particularly liked the notion of supersizing AMC.Aron soon embarked on a $3 billion buying spree, snapping up three major theater chains in the US and Europe. By the spring of 2017 he’d made AMC into a colossus, with more than 10,000 screens in 15 countries. Aron—who has a professional wrestling promoter’s penchant for speaking in grandiose, history-in-the-making superlatives—could now brag about AMC on a planetary scale. “The largest in the US, the largest in Europe, and the largest globally,” he says.He threw himself into every aspect of the operations, spiffing up the company’s pre-movie promos; stiff-arming a startup,MoviePass Inc., that was elbowing into the loyalty rewards market for moviegoers; and flavor-jamming AMC’s food menu with the kind of flamboyance thatGuy Fierimight relish. Before long, Aron was touting AMC’s giant new pretzel, a salty 1.5-pound behemoth dubbed the Bavarian Legend.Aron at AMC’s headquarters in Leawood, Kan.Photographer: Shawn Brackbill for Bloomberg BusinessweekAlthough he was a relative newbie to the film industry, Aron had popcorn in his blood. In the 1930s his grandfather, a convivial, politically connected businessman, co-founded a successful company called Berlo Vending. Among other things, Berlo sold all the popcorn in all the movie theaters of eastern Pennsylvania. “By the time I came around, whatever family fortune there was had pretty much been squandered,” says Aron, who grew up in a middle-class Philadelphia suburb.Like his father, an ad man who regularly acted in an amateur theater troupe, Aron gravitated to the spotlight. By high school he was a math whiz, hockey goalie, and hammy stage performer. His comedic speeches playing up the life-altering sacrifices he’d made on behalf of his classmates won him the office of class treasurer twice. Once, as president of his high school’s Key Club, he organized a fundraiser basketball game that went on for 100 straight hours—which, according to Aron, set a Guinness World Record. When he discovered a catalog that sold slightly aged Hollywood film reels by mail, he rallied friends to construct a plywood screen in their school’s auditorium, where they charged for showings ofButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,Cool Hand Luke, and, of course,Planet of the Apes. The money poured into the coffers of the senior class. “What he was like then is what he is like now,” says Aron’s high school buddy Ashton Carter, who decades later would serve as secretary of defense under Barack Obama. “He could always convince a diverse group of people to get behind his vision.”After graduating from Harvard in three years, Aron stayed to get his MBA. He studied marketing, was elected co-president of the school’s transportation club, and was captain of the hockey team. While many of his peers beelined for the riches of Wall Street, he took a job with the airline Pan Am, which by 1979 was well past its glory years. A top executive, Stephen Wolf, was looking for someone who could create more loyalty among the airline’s dwindling customers. “The problem is that anybody who was semi-young and had half a brain had sensibly and correctly left Pan Am long ago,” recalls Wolf, who went on to become CEO of United Airlines. “I found Adam in the bowels of the organization somewhere.”Aron concocted Pan Am’s first frequent-flyers club and suddenly found himself on the fast track. He’d go on to create or reengineer loyalty programs for Western Airlines (TravelPass); Hyatt Hotels (Gold Passport); United Airlines (MileagePlus); Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL Latitudes); Vail Resorts (Peaks); the Philadelphia 76ers (the Franklin Club)—and, eventually, AMC (Stubs). “Adam is a pioneer of loyalty management,” says high school pal Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, now a professor at the Yale School of Management.In the late ’80s, Hyatt Hotels CEO Hartley-Leonard hired Aron to serve as a top marketing executive. “When he came in, he really was the most disheveled human being that you’d ever seen,” Hartley-Leonard says. “The problem with Adam is that his body is deformed such that his shirt doesn’t stay in his trousers.” Aron proved to be an unusually crafty marketer who generated ideas nonstop for winning over customers from rivals and for garnering free publicity, says his former boss. He also periodically mesmerized his colleagues with stunts, like the time he floated into an executive meeting on a custom-made dirigible. “Jay Pritzker [whose family owned Hyatt] turned to me and said, ‘What the f--- did this cost?’ ” Hartley-Leonard recalls. “I said, ‘Leave Adam alone. That’s who he is.’ ”In 1996, Apollo Global Management Inc. was in the market for someone to turn around Vail Resorts, the ski resort operator. By the time Aron left that job 10 years later, he’d diversified the company’s business model and more than quintupled revenue. “Vail was transformative,” says Marc Rowan, Apollo’s billionaire CEO. “He did an unbelievable job.”So much so that when Rowan’s partner, billionaire Apollo co-founder Joshua Harris, led a group of investors to acquire middling NBA team the 76ers in 2011, they installed Aron, a minority owner, to usher in a franchise turnaround. Of course, his first order of business was a barrage of promotional schemes. He made the team’s dance squad larger. He added Julius Erving as a consultant. He showered fans in confetti. And even though he’d step aside as CEO only two years later following another lousy season, he still left an Aron-shaped imprint on the franchise:“Big Bella,”the world’s largest T-shirt launcher, a cartoonishly massive, 600 pound, multibarrel leviathan that looks like something Mad Max might have mounted on a battle tank.The 2011 press conference to announce Apollo Global Management’s acquisition of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers. For two years, Aron was the team’s CEO.Photo: Getty ImagesAs the world locked down in 2020, Aron’s acquisition binge looked disastrous. AMC, saddled with $5 billion in debt, was forced to hastily shut down 1,000 theaters worldwide. He furloughed most of roughly 26,000 workers. “You know what they don’t teach in Harvard Business School?” he says. “The zero-revenue case.”AMC warned in a filing that it was weeks away from running out of cash. Bankruptcy seemed imminent. But Aron harbored a deep, abiding dislike for what he calls “Bankruptcy Inc.” In his 30s he’d spent months fighting off the vulturous bankruptcy professionals hungrily circling Norwegian Cruise Line. At one point, he recalls indignantly, the CEO of rival Carnival Corp. predicted publicly that Norwegian would file for bankruptcy within months—but it never happened. “I’m very pleased to have proven him wrong,” Aron says.Seven months into the pandemic, there were whispers on Wall Street and in the press that AMC could be filing for Chapter 11 any day. Aron scrambled to buy more time, renegotiating AMC’s rent payments with its landlords and looking for some way to ride out the pandemic disruptions.Eventually he found a lifeline in Jason Mudrick, a lantern-jawed, poker-playing graduate of Harvard Law School, who runs Mudrick Capital Management LP, a $3.4 billion hedge fund specializing in distressed businesses. Unlike financial advisers and lawyers who make money on fees when a bankruptcy is filed, Mudrick’s firm loans money to companies facing near-death circumstances. If the company recovers, the capital is repaid handsomely. If not, the fund can seize collateral or control. In December 2020, Mudrick loaned AMC $100 million, receiving an equity stake in return. Other lenders followed.News of the loans reached retail investors just as a strange new energy began coursing through Wall Street. Thanks to some combustible mix of pandemic-induced boredom, intemperance, and ingenuity, the meme-stock phenomenon was taking off. Day traders on Reddit were identifying downtrodden, heavily shorted stocks, then piling in collectively, pushing up the share price, and hyping the frenzy on social media to rope in more buyers. It had already happened with GameStop Corp.Then it was AMC’s turn. From January to early June it soared from $2 to more than $62. Along the way, Aron seized on the freakish moment by issuing new equity at the heightened prices, replenishing AMC’s coffers.By June 2021, 4 million retail investors had bought up more than 80% of the company’s shares. Aron knew from his years optimizing stunts and membership schemes that first you capture their attention, then you get them hooked. “It was just as true with our shareholders in the year 2021 as it was with airline passengers in 1981,” he says. So he designed a program that bridged the meme world with the real one: Buying AMC’s stock would get you movie-related perks.With AMC Investor Connect, after purchasing the company’s shares and signing up for its existing Stubs rewards program, you’d be given access to discounts at theaters, invitations to movie screenings with Aron, and a free tub of popcorn. The new program may have seemed gauche to the traditional Wall Street crowd, but it gave an air of exclusivity to everyman investors, even if the benefits were fairly silly. By 2022 the program would swell to more than 700,000 members.Aron with Kidman, whom he describes as “the first lady of AMC.”Source: Adam AronMeanwhile, Aron began doubling down on his new AMC persona. Dating back to his time with the 76ers, he’d been an active social media user, albeit with fewer followers and more mishaps. At an investor roundtable last year, he was briefly caught on Zoom untrousered, according to a participant. In June 2021 he was doing a remoteinterview with a YouTube market influencerwhen he accidentally bumped his webcam, which swiveled downward to reveal that, once again, he wasn’t wearing pants. Some AMC fans speculated that the YouTube incident was another one of Aron’s public-relations stunts. When asked about it, Aron declined to comment. “I would be the first to admit that I can be iconoclastic,” he says.As his audience grew, he’d spend an hour a day on Twitter, reading feedback from the Apes and crafting truculent messages. He’d quote Winston Churchill on an earnings call—“We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds”—or retweet a depiction of himself wearing a chef’s hat, holding a cleaver, and standing over a dead crow. By lacing his act with combative emotion, Aron infused AMC fandom with the kind of fervent personal identification once reserved for political parties and sports teams. Any analyst who’d dare question AMC’s prospects could expect to receive a torrent of online vitriol, even death threats, from hismore than 268,000 Twitter followers.While the Apes ate up his bellicose energy, continuing to buy up shares and vowing to hold them long-term, Aron and AMC’s other major investors began looking to cash out. With the stock riding high, everyone from the Dalian Wanda Group to Mudrick Capital to other top AMC executives were either selling off the bulk of their shares or eyeing the exits.Aron wasn’t going to let the opportunity pass. He enjoyed the perks of swank living as much as the next scorekeeping CEO, buying and selling over the years a portfolio of luxury properties from Beaver Creek, Colo., to Miami Beach. On Nov. 10, 2021, he revealed that for “estate planning” purposes he was unloading 625,000 AMC shares worth $25 million. The following month, he sold an additional chunk for $9.65 million. The family popcorn fortune, once squandered, was now restored. “Many of his friends went off into consulting and investment banking,” says high school friend Sonnenfeld. “Those people made more money initially. But he’s closed the gap a lot.”Aron with Mudrick at the Hycroft gold and silver mine in Nevada.Around midnight on Sunday, March 13, after landing at a tiny two-runway airport in rural Nevada, Aron headed to a nearby Best Western to catch a few hours of sleep. Several days earlier he’d gotten a call from Mudrick, who pitched him on an opportunity for AMC that had nothing to do with the movie business. Mudrick’s hedge fund owned a stake inHycroft Mining Holding Corp., a struggling operation in northwestern Nevada. To remain solvent, the company needed a quick cash infusion to appease its lenders. He wanted to know if AMC wanted in on a literal gold mine.Although Aron was familiar with a long list of industries, mining wasn’t one of them. But he was an expert at financial engineering, not to mention the strange metallurgy of transforming a business crisis into a windfall—and a spectacle. In recent months he’d been toying with diversifying AMC beyond theaters. There were plans to sell movie-themed merchandise, AMC-branded nonfungible tokens (NFTs), and, maybe someday, a branded credit card and cryptocurrency. Already in the works was AMC Perfectly Popcorn, which will be sold in supermarkets across the US next year. “Watch out, Orville Redenbacher,” he said on an earnings call on March 1.Aron told Mudrick he was interested. The hedge fund executive explained that they’d have to move fast: They had five days before the cost of the deal would significantly increase. Hycroft’s share price was rising, and Nasdaq rules required Aron to buy his stake at a share price that averaged the previous five days’ trading levels.So Mudrick corralled a jet in Teterboro, N.J., flew to Miami, picked up AMC Lead Director Philip Lader, then fetched Aron and AMC’s general counsel, Kevin Connor, who were on a work trip in Dallas. While in the air to Nevada, Mudrick and Aron batted around the numbers and dug into dinner. Mudrick ate a steak. Aron put away a seafood medley.Now, at 6 a.m., they arose in the dark at the hotel and set off for the mine. They drove past Winnemucca, a long-in-the-tooth railroad town where Butch Cassidy had once robbed a bank and the cellphone service was abysmal. The sun rose over the Black Rock Desert, a Martian landscape of dry playas and craggy, arid mountains. After two hours they arrived at theHycroft Mine, a dusty archipelagoof geological debris, jumbo trucks, and gaping holes in the ground—a toddler’s idea of heaven. They squeezed into a temporary office, the only place in the vicinity with Wi-Fi. For the next several hours, Aron and Mudrick took turns persuading lenders and board members to approve the sale. They inked the deal with a few minutes to spare.On March 15, when Aron announced that AMC was acquiring 22% of the largely dormant mine for $28 million, he got roughly the same reaction he’d triggered years earlier with his dirigible. Jaws dropped. Minds reeled. Somehow a recently distressed movie theater chain, saved by a hedge fund specializing in distressed lending, pumped up by retail investors profiting on distressed stocks, was now part owner of a distressed gold and silver mine, in a water-distressed pocket of the country, on a pandemic-distressed planet. The whole thing felt like a national parable. In America in 2022, distress was the new gold—or maybe fool’s gold. It was hard to say for certain.Much of the press and most analysts derided the move as just another gimmick, while others opined that the money should’ve been used to pay down the company’s exorbitant debt. But on Twitter, Aron was busy retweeting memes of himself draped in gold chains. His rationale for the investment, he said: Only two years earlier, AMC was in free fall; now it could deploy everything it learned to another underdog business.The loyal Apes followed him into the mineshaft, sending the penny stock sailing and netting AMC a $30 million profit. With the share price soaring, Hycroft took a page from the AMC playbook and offered more equity. Mudrick had initially hoped to raise $20 million. Thanks to the AMC bump, they wound up raising $200 million. Says Mudrick of Aron: “He could convince an Eskimo to buy ice.”So what exactly is AMC at this point? A legacy theater chain with a penchant for shiny objects? A precious-metals multiplex exhibitor venture fund?Last year, in a magnanimous gesture to the Apes, Aron tweaked the format of AMC’s quarterly earnings calls, allowing consumers to pose questions directly to the company’s brass. The inquiries of amateurs, he says, are often better than the ones from the professionals. “Not to be disrespectful to security analysts, but they often use earnings calls to build their financial models,” he says, segueing into an imitation of a squeaky-voiced analyst posing a tediously small-bore question.The stroke of populism has annoyed some of the pros. “These are the most painful calls for me to listen to of any in my career,” says Hunter Martin, an analyst at Creditsights Inc., a research shop. “The rhetoric is … very us vs. them, retail investor and common man. That’s their narrative. To their credit, they’re talking about the things that are important to those people. But it comes at a cost to more traditional investors who want to hear the numbers.”The Face That Launched a Thousand MemesAron’s fans will send him homemade memes of the CEO’s face hacked onto a movie poster, which he praises and tweets to his 268,000 Twitter followersSource: TwitterSource: TwitterSource: TwitterThere may be good reason to create some distractions. In a recent report, Bloomberg Intelligence projected that the 2022 domestic box-office numbers will come in at $7.5 billion, a significant boost from 2021’s $4.5 billion—but still just 66% of pre-pandemic levels. Meanwhile, 2022 has been a brutal environment for media companies, whose stock prices have tumbled across the board. The studios that supply AMC with its primary product are all facing potentially severe cutbacks of their own. Keeping the Apes amped won’t be easy. “Regardless of a brighter outlook, we fear that the 4 million-plus retail investors who have driven a 2,000%-plus surge in the stock may flip and eventually cash out, prompting more volatility,” Bloomberg Intelligence noted late last year.For much of the summer, AMC’s share price was hovering in the $12 to $17 range. On AMC fan boards, many Apes were itching for a new rally. For months there’d been chatter about the coming Mother of All Short Squeezes—a moment, it was foretold, when the Silverback would once again rear up and smite AMC’s enemies and somehow send the share price back up. As to the timing, everyone dug through the mud of Aron’s tweets looking for buried clues.Without any clear signs of action, frustration was evident. At AMC’s annual meeting in June, shareholders rejected the company’s executive pay plan, which in 2021 rewarded Aron with $18.9 million in total compensation. “I don’t think any of them need more money yet,” says Deborah Cooke, the AMC superfan from the Kansas screening.Aron shook off the intra-simian setback. During the same annual meeting in June, he told shareholders that AMC would be creating a $100 million fund to invest in other businesses. First came the gold mine; who knows what could be next. “There are a number of things that we looked at that we rejected, either because it wasn’t interesting enough, or there was too much risk, or the financial returns weren’t attractive enough,” he says. “But I’m sure we’ll find other opportunities as we turn over every rock.”AMC’s early gains on its Hycroft shares have already all but disappeared as the miner’s stock rally faded, though Aron has said he sees Hycroft as a longer-term investment, to net profits as the mine expands operations.So what exactly is AMC at this point? A legacy theater chain with a penchant for shiny objects? A precious-metals multiplex exhibitor venture fund? Or, as Bloomberg Opinion columnistMatt Levine described it this spring, “a merchant bank that helps small companies do meme-driven at-the-market offerings and takes equity for its fee”? Aron sticks with the most anodyne of explanations: “We are a movie theater company that is looking to diversify,” he says.In early August, with signs of Ape dissatisfaction still smoldering online, AMC reported second-quarter results that topped analysts’ estimates and revealed a plan to create a new class of preferred AMC equity, which will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Aug. 22 under the new ticker “APE.” Aron promptly uncorked a tweetstorm, explaining the “game-changing” strategy, which he compared to playing “3-D chess.”For each share of AMC Class A common stock, shareholders would be given a preferred equity unit as a dividend. Once the trading commenced, investors would be able to buy and sell them normally. In the future, at Aron’s discretion, the company would be able to issue new APE shares to raise additional money for potential moves such as paying down debt or making acquisitions. Such issuance could, of course, reduce the value of the outstanding shares that Apes cling to. Using the all-caps style often seen in the Ape vernacular, Aron summed up the slightly byzantine proceedings in terms everyone in the community could easily understand. “TODAY … WE … POUNCE,” he wrote.While the reaction from professional analysts was mixed, the Reddit crowd went wild. By the following day, AMC gained 19%, to close at $22.18, a four-month high.In spite of all the grim news in the broader market, things were looking up. Historically, Aron says, movie theaters have weathered economic downturns better than more expensive forms of entertainment. “I’ve been selling tickets all my life,” he says. “I’ve sold cruise tickets, lift tickets, game tickets. I’m still selling tickets.”Over the summer he began selling something else—commemorative Thor hammersto promote Marvel’sThor: Love and Thunder. For $39.99, fans could buy their very own version of the powerful god’s favorite weapon, reimagined in a handy new form: a warlike popcorn container. Aron appears almost as excited about the popcorn hammer as the gold mine. “We’ve sold 40,000 of them already.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":23,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9993115763,"gmtCreate":1660645403053,"gmtModify":1676536371154,"author":{"id":"3572946614001509","authorId":"3572946614001509","name":"jolynnnnnnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a57c211e244dfbae9f8d7c0d2c8b547","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"A Tesla bear","listText":"A Tesla bear","text":"A Tesla bear","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9993115763","repostId":"2259889841","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":17,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9999995498,"gmtCreate":1660446719616,"gmtModify":1676533472394,"author":{"id":"3572946614001509","authorId":"3572946614001509","name":"jolynnnnnnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a57c211e244dfbae9f8d7c0d2c8b547","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Insane&nbsp;","listText":"Insane&nbsp;","text":"Insane","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9999995498","repostId":"2259349706","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2259349706","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":1660440324,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2259349706?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-08-14 09:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Inflation Surge Cools in July.

The S&P 500  gained 3.3% to 4,280.15, and the Nasdaq rose 3.1% to 13,047.19.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":21,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9990287520,"gmtCreate":1660356822663,"gmtModify":1676533457882,"author":{"id":"3572946614001509","authorId":"3572946614001509","name":"jolynnnnnnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a57c211e244dfbae9f8d7c0d2c8b547","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good morning&nbsp;","listText":"Good morning&nbsp;","text":"Good morning","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9990287520","repostId":"1129150866","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":75,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9041755429,"gmtCreate":1656114353661,"gmtModify":1676535768819,"author":{"id":"3572946614001509","authorId":"3572946614001509","name":"jolynnnnnnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a57c211e244dfbae9f8d7c0d2c8b547","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/MMAT\">$Meta Materials Inc.(MMAT)$</a>aaveraged down today ~ this offering is due 28 June, makes sense to exercise it to the tutes.

","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1161561973","media":"investing.com","summary":"Electric vehicle maker Tesla Motors' (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock is picking up momentum again. After falling","content":"<p>Electric vehicle maker <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla Motors</a>' (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock is picking up momentum again. After falling from a record high $900.40, hit intraday on Jan. 25, TSLA shares have gained 17% during the past three months, outperforming the benchmark&nbsp;NASDAQ 100&nbsp;Index.</p>\n<p>The biggest question Tesla bulls now have is, whether, on top of the current gains, can the EV manufacturer's stock push through back to the all-time high of $900 this year?</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b4b9078f00190f208dd63b32c4f617c6\" tg-width=\"651\" tg-height=\"708\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Tesla Weekly Chart.</p>\n<p>Given the highly volatile nature of the stock, it’s tough to predict whether the current Tesla rally has legs. But it’s important to note that the outlook for its car sales is becoming more uncertain than it was a year ago.</p>\n<p>First, the global chip shortage continues to cast doubt on Tesla’s ambitious sales targets for 2021. Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk highlighted challenges that come from the unpredictability of chip supplies and the hurdles he expects in ramping production at two new factories in Austin, Texas, and Berlin, later this year.</p>\n<p>Tesla again delayed delivery of its semi-trailer truck—already two years late. The first trucks of this type are now slated for 2022. The company attributed the delay to supply-chain issues and limited battery-cell supply, as well as management trying to focus on getting new factories online. The company’s plans for its first pickup truck, once expected to go to customers as early as this year, are also being affected by parts issues.</p>\n<p>This is what Musk told analysts last month:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “While we’re making cars at full speed, the global chip-shortage situation remains quite serious. For the rest of this year, our growth rate will be determined by the slowest part in our supply chain.”\n</blockquote>\n<p>Regulatory Probe</p>\n<p>Besides the risks to the market’s earnings consensus for this fiscal year, Tesla is facing a regulatory probe that could result in a massive recall.</p>\n<p>The U.S.opened a formal investigation&nbsp;into Tesla’s Autopilot system last week after almost a dozen collisions involving first-responder vehicles. In the last seven years, Tesla has charged clients thousands of dollars for this feature.</p>\n<p>The probe by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) covers an estimated 765,000 Tesla Model Y, X, S and 3 vehicles from the 2014 model year onward. The regulator—which has the power to deem cars defective and order recalls—said&nbsp;it launched the investigation after 11 crashes that resulted in 17 injuries and one fatality.</p>\n<p>Bloomberg reported&nbsp;that Tesla has been criticized for years for labeling the system in a potentially misleading way. Since late 2016, it has marketed this higher-level functionality feature as Full Self-Driving Capability. In reality, Autopilot is a driver-assistance system that maintains vehicles’ speed and keeps them centered in lanes when engaged, though the driver is supposed to supervise at all times.</p>\n<p>Tesla now sells that package of features—often referred to as FSD—for $10,000 or $199 a month.</p>\n<p>After the NHTSA launched of the probe, two Democratic senators asked the Federal Trade Commission to also investigate Tesla over the company’s advertising of its Autopilot and FSD technology.</p>\n<p>In a&nbsp;letter&nbsp;last Wednesday, Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts asked FTC Chair Lina Khan to examine whether Tesla used “potentially deceptive and unfair practices” in its marketing of those technologies.</p>\n<p>“We fear that Tesla’s Autopilot and FSD features are not as mature and reliable as the company pitches to the public,” they wrote, pointing to comments from Musk, as well as a 2019 YouTube video entitled “Full Self-Driving” and has a link to Tesla’s site.</p>\n<p>Highlighting these risks and how they could affect Tesla’s current stock price, however, shouldn’t hide the fact that there are many analysts who continue to remain bullish on TSLA.

After falling from a record high $900.40, hit intraday on Jan. 25, TSLA shares have gained 17% during the past three months, outperforming the benchmark NASDAQ 100 Index.\nThe biggest question Tesla bulls now have is, whether, on top of the current gains, can the EV manufacturer's stock push through back to the all-time high of $900 this year?\nTesla Weekly Chart.\nGiven the highly volatile nature of the stock, it’s tough to predict whether the current Tesla rally has legs. But it’s important to note that the outlook for its car sales is becoming more uncertain than it was a year ago.\nFirst, the global chip shortage continues to cast doubt on Tesla’s ambitious sales targets for 2021. Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk highlighted challenges that come from the unpredictability of chip supplies and the hurdles he expects in ramping production at two new factories in Austin, Texas, and Berlin, later this year.\nTesla again delayed delivery of its semi-trailer truck—already two years late. The first trucks of this type are now slated for 2022. The company attributed the delay to supply-chain issues and limited battery-cell supply, as well as management trying to focus on getting new factories online. The company’s plans for its first pickup truck, once expected to go to customers as early as this year, are also being affected by parts issues.\nThis is what Musk told analysts last month:\n\n “While we’re making cars at full speed, the global chip-shortage situation remains quite serious. For the rest of this year, our growth rate will be determined by the slowest part in our supply chain.”\n\nRegulatory Probe\nBesides the risks to the market’s earnings consensus for this fiscal year, Tesla is facing a regulatory probe that could result in a massive recall.\nThe U.S.opened a formal investigation into Tesla’s Autopilot system last week after almost a dozen collisions involving first-responder vehicles. In the last seven years, Tesla has charged clients thousands of dollars for this feature.\nThe probe by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) covers an estimated 765,000 Tesla Model Y, X, S and 3 vehicles from the 2014 model year onward. The regulator—which has the power to deem cars defective and order recalls—said it launched the investigation after 11 crashes that resulted in 17 injuries and one fatality.\nBloomberg reported that Tesla has been criticized for years for labeling the system in a potentially misleading way. Since late 2016, it has marketed this higher-level functionality feature as Full Self-Driving Capability. In reality, Autopilot is a driver-assistance system that maintains vehicles’ speed and keeps them centered in lanes when engaged, though the driver is supposed to supervise at all times.\nTesla now sells that package of features—often referred to as FSD—for $10,000 or $199 a month.\nAfter the NHTSA launched of the probe, two Democratic senators asked the Federal Trade Commission to also investigate Tesla over the company’s advertising of its Autopilot and FSD technology.\nIn a letter last Wednesday, Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts asked FTC Chair Lina Khan to examine whether Tesla used “potentially deceptive and unfair practices” in its marketing of those technologies.\n“We fear that Tesla’s Autopilot and FSD features are not as mature and reliable as the company pitches to the public,” they wrote, pointing to comments from Musk, as well as a 2019 YouTube video entitled “Full Self-Driving” and has a link to Tesla’s site.\nHighlighting these risks and how they could affect Tesla’s current stock price, however, shouldn’t hide the fact that there are many analysts who continue to remain bullish on TSLA. Piper Sandler reiterated its overweight rating on the stock and its price target of $1,200 this month.\nIn a note, analysts Alexander Potter and Winnie Dong said:\n\n “Bottom line: We still really like this stock. Tesla is still the driving force behind higher [battery electric vehicle] penetration globally.”\n\nBottom Line\nIt’s difficult to predict the future course for Tesla stock given the huge amount of speculative interest in this name. But recent developments show that it will be quite hard for the EV automaker to exceed expectations in this tough manufacturing environment.\nInvestors should trade this name with caution.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":91,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9043183721,"gmtCreate":1655888022663,"gmtModify":1676535726282,"author":{"id":"3572946614001509","authorId":"3572946614001509","name":"jolynnnnnnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a57c211e244dfbae9f8d7c0d2c8b547","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hold on to your seats, this is going to be a ride","listText":"Hold on to your seats, this is going to be a ride","text":"Hold on to your seats, this is going to be a ride","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9043183721","repostId":"1115307864","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1115307864","pubTimestamp":1655887545,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1115307864?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-06-22 16:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Fed’s Powell Goes to Capitol Hill Today.

Here’s a guide.</p><p><b>Inflation</b></p><p>Rising prices are making consumers increasingly miserable. If fact, they’re as glum as they’ve ever been, according to the University of Michigan’s latest sentiment survey, which was launched in 1978.</p><p>Expect Republican members of Congress to hammer the inflation issue, pointing to stimulus spending by the Biden Administration, in addition to energy policies that have reduced supply. Expect Democratic members to remind viewers that stimulus spending in response to the pandemic began under the Trump administration.</p><p>Quickly rising prices have an outsize impact on lower-income households, especially because inflation is most acute today in basics such as food, gas, and rent. While many lower-income households traditionally voted for Democrats, the party is in an awkward position because it has been unable to pass legislation to help struggling consumers. More government spending arguably would exacerbate inflation by further juicing demand. Yet, attempting to cool prices via tighter monetary policy is raising the cost of credit at a time when more households are using plastic to pay for essentials.</p><p>Powell will get many questions about inflation. Look for updated answers on these. Is inflation peaking? Can inflation sufficiently cool as the war in Ukraine continues to push energy prices higher? How long will it be before inflation falls back to the Fed’s 2% target, and is there a possibility that the target is lifted to 3%-4%?</p><p>What else can be done to relieve inflation pressure, especially since monetary policy works with a lag of about a year? What can the federal government do to help families and businesses without adding to the problem?How can policymakers focus on core inflation, which backs out food and energy, at a time when those categories are causing the most pain?</p><p><b>Recession</b></p><p>Many officials might see a political advantage in bigger and faster monetary-policy tightening. For Republicans, more painful rate increases and balance-sheet tightening might make midterm elections easier to win. (Voters go to the polls on Nov. 8). Some on the other side of the aisle might also prefer front-loaded tightening in the hope that inflation is cured and the economy is on the upswing by the 2024 presidential election.</p><p>There is a long time between now and November, but the political will to tighten aggressively would mean the odds of a recession are higher than they may already appear. Many Wall Street economists and the Fed itself have said for months that a recession can be avoided, but that thinking is starting to change. Consider a Wall Street Journal poll that shows 44% of economists surveyed now expect a recession within the next 12 months; that number is nearly double the share in April and up from just 18% in January. As EY-Parthenon Chief Economist Greg Daco puts it, a recession is likely in the coming months as persistent inflation forces more pronounced monetary-policy tightening.</p><p>Expect Powell to get questions around the likelihood and severity of a recession. U.S. economic growth was negative in the first quarter, and activity is flagging in the second quarter, even before the impact of the June fed-funds increase kicks in. Plus, the second part of this tightening cycle, the Fed’s attempt to shrink its balance sheet after trillions of dollars in pandemic bond purchases, is just getting started.</p><p>After going from “soft” to “softish” and then to “bumpy” and involving “some pain” to describe the economy’s prospective landing, Powell seemed to acknowledge last week that the path to a soft landing is getting harder. He has pointed to the strong labor market as reason to believe a recession isn’t inevitable, but that is a lagging indicator.</p><p><b>Economic projections</b></p><p>When the Fed concluded its latest policy meeting last week, it issued its quarterly summary of economic projections, or SEP. While there were substantial changes from the March SEP, the latest forecasts still look too rosy.They also don’t add up.For example, the Fed predicted enough of a rise in unemployment to trigger a recession, and it predicted growth close to trend through 2024. How can the Fed see inflation within striking distance of its 2% target by 2024 without pushing unemployment higher than about 4%? Perhaps some in Congress will ask that.</p><p>Consider what former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers said in a speech over the weekend,after telling<i>Barron’s</i>last week that the Fed’s forecasts were still unrealistic.The U.S. will need five years of unemployment at 6% to contain inflation—or two years of joblessness at 7.5%, or one year of unemployment at 10%, Summers said, according to press reports. The unemployment rate is currently 3.6%.</p><p>Powell will reiterate the Fed’s commitment to battling inflation, but the Fed’s latest forecasts undercut that message. Mixed messaging is tied in part to the fact that inflation is rising as growth is already slowing, whereas rising inflation usually comes with stronger growth.</p><p>Powell may attempt this week to square some of the incongruous Fed forecasts. Something has to give, and investors want to know if it will be more unemployment and falling growth, or high inflation for longer. The chance is rising that inflation will stay high and the economy will have little to no growth for a while, with more economists talking about a stretch of stagflation before recession.</p><p><b>Terminal rate</b></p><p>The Fed chair may also be questioned about the so-called terminal rate, or where the main policy rate will peak in this cycle. The latest SEP showed a terminal rate of about 3.75%, notes Roberto Perli, head of global policy at Piper Sandler. That level is below what markets and many economists expect. Yet it is also well above any reasonable definition of neutral, even taking into account that inflation expectations will be higher than normal for a while, says Perli.</p><p>“History tells us that tightening above neutral rarely ends well. So, at some point it’s legitimate to expect a deterioration in the labor market, and at that point the Fed tone will change significantly,” he says.</p><p>This is week is too soon for Powell to change his tone, but investors should look for clues as to when the Fed will become more concerned with growth numbers than inflation numbers, which will help determine when and at what level tightening will peak.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1601382232898","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>The Fed’s Powell Goes to Capitol Hill Today.

The latest SEP showed a terminal rate of about 3.75%, notes Roberto Perli, head of global policy at Piper Sandler. That level is below what markets and many economists expect. Yet it is also well above any reasonable definition of neutral, even taking into account that inflation expectations will be higher than normal for a while, says Perli.“History tells us that tightening above neutral rarely ends well. So, at some point it’s legitimate to expect a deterioration in the labor market, and at that point the Fed tone will change significantly,” he says.This is week is too soon for Powell to change his tone, but investors should look for clues as to when the Fed will become more concerned with growth numbers than inflation numbers, which will help determine when and at what level tightening will peak.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":16,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9089447835,"gmtCreate":1650028359345,"gmtModify":1676534631676,"author":{"id":"3572946614001509","authorId":"3572946614001509","name":"jolynnnnnnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a57c211e244dfbae9f8d7c0d2c8b547","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/GGPI\">$Gores Guggenheim Inc(GGPI)$</a>good stock buy more","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/GGPI\">$Gores Guggenheim Inc(GGPI)$</a>good stock buy more","text":"$Gores Guggenheim Inc(GGPI)$good stock buy more","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/731178ee1025ef2040b80a1739503a57","width":"1080","height":"3528"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9089447835","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":76,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9037459330,"gmtCreate":1648168808353,"gmtModify":1676534312332,"author":{"id":"3572946614001509","authorId":"3572946614001509","name":"jolynnnnnnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a57c211e244dfbae9f8d7c0d2c8b547","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good morning ☀️","listText":"Good morning ☀️","text":"Good morning ☀️","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9037459330","repostId":"2222003422","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2222003422","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1648161500,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2222003422?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-03-25 06:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-Wall St Resumes Rally, Led by Nasdaq as Chipmakers Soar","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2222003422","media":"Reuters","summary":"* Weekly jobless claims hits lowest since 1969* Uber surges on deal to list all NYC taxis on its app* Indexes: Dow up 1%, S&P 500 up 1.4%, Nasdaq up 1.9%(Reuters) - Major U.S. stock indexes rallied mo","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>* Weekly jobless claims hits lowest since 1969</p><p>* Uber surges on deal to list all NYC taxis on its app</p><p>* Indexes: Dow up 1%, S&amp;P 500 up 1.4%, Nasdaq up 1.9%</p><p>(Reuters) - Major U.S. stock indexes rallied more than 1% on Thursday, extending the market&#39;s recent rebound, as investors snapped up beaten-down shares of chipmakers and big growth names and as oil prices dropped.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">Nvidia Corp</a>&#39;s stock gained 9.8%, leading a rally across the chip sector and hitting its highest level since mid-January. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/INTC\">Intel Corp</a> climbed 6.9%, and both stocks helped to boost the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq.</p><p>The Philadelphia SE semiconductor index jumped 5.1% in its biggest daily percentage gain since Feb. 15, while it remains down about 10% for the year so far. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a> shares rose for an eighth consecutive day after getting hammered earlier this month.</p><p>The three major indexes have rallied in six of the last eight sessions, with all three having rebounded after the S&amp;P 500 and the Dow confirmed they are in correction and the Nasdaq established it is in a bear market.</p><p>&#34;The bear market was the dip to buy,&#34;

Since hitting a record-closing high during the first week of January, the widely followed <b>S&amp;P 500</b> has lost as much as 24% of its value and tumbled into bear market territory.</p><p>But it&#39;s been an even tougher go for growth-dependent stock indexes, such as the <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> and <b>Nasdaq 100</b>. The latter is comprised of the 100 largest nonfinancial stocks listed on the <b>Nasdaq</b> exchange. Since hitting their all-time highs, both the Nasdaq Composite and Nasdaq 100 have shed close to a third of their value at their peak.</p><p>But there&#39;s another side to this story. While bear market declines can be scary, they&#39;re also the ideal time for long-term investors to do some shopping. This is especially true for growth stocks, which have taken it on the chin during the 2022 swoon in equities. The Nasdaq 100 is currently housing three bargain growth stocks that can confidently be bought hand over fist in August.</p><h2>Amazon</h2><p>The first Nasdaq 100 stock that proved, once again, it belongs in investors&#39; portfolios and can be bought hand over fist in August is e-commerce stock <b>Amazon</b> (AMZN).</p><p>In each of the past two quarters, U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) retraced. This comes atop persistent supply chain issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as historically high inflation, which hit a four-decade high of 9.1% in June. In other words, Wall Street and investors fully expected Amazon to face-plant when it reported its second-quarter operating results. While there were a number of one-time charges that weighed on the company&#39;s bottom line, the fact remains that its high-margin operating segments and long-term growth trajectory remain unfazed by near-term economic weakness.</p><p>The interesting thing about Amazon is that its most well-known operating segment may prove to be its least important over the long run. On the one hand, Amazon&#39;s online marketplace is expected to account for 39.5% of U.S. online retail sales in 2022. That&#39;s more than its next-closest 14 competitors added together. On the other hand, retail is a low-margin segment.</p><p>What&#39;s far more important for Amazon is how its marketplace has helped funnel business into its higher-margin segments. For instance, the company&#39;s leading marketplace helped it sign up more than 200 million Prime members. The tens of billions of dollars collected in annual Prime fees allow Amazon to invest in its rapidly growing logistics network and redirect capital to high-margin initiatives.</p><p>Arguably the highest-margin initiative for the company is Amazon Web Services (AWS). According to a report from Canalys, AWS accounted for 33% of global cloud infrastructure spending in the first quarter. AWS managed 33% year-over-year sales growth in the challenged second quarter and has consistently provided the lion&#39;s share of Amazon&#39;s operating income despite accounting for around 15% to 16% of net sales.</p><p>The final reason to pile into Amazon is its valuation. After more than a decade of investors willingly paying 20 or more times year-end cash flow, investors can buy Amazon right now for a little over nine times Wall Street&#39;s forecast cash flow in 2025.</p><h2>PayPal Holdings</h2><p>The second Nasdaq 100 stock that&#39;s begging to be bought in August is fintech giant <b>PayPal Holdings</b> (PYPL). PayPal is the parent of popular peer-to-peer payment app Venmo.</p><p>The prevailing concern for digital payment companies over the past couple of quarters is that inflation would adversely impact their operating performance. Rising prices disproportionately impact lower-earning deciles, which has the potential to result in reduced usage on digital payment platforms. Although PayPal has, indeed, sounded a cautious tone over the short run, the theme of this list is that its long-term growth strategy remains well intact.</p><p>For instance, PayPal managed to deliver 15% constant-currency growth in total payment volume on its platform during Q1 (note, this write-up was done prior to PayPal reporting Q2 results on Aug. 2, 2022). Not only does this demonstrate that consumer spending is stronger than some folks realize, but it suggests that digital payments are still in their infancy and capable of sustained, double-digit growth for a long time to come.</p><p>What&#39;s more, engagement across PayPal&#39;s digital platforms has been steadily climbing. At the end of 2020, active users were completing an average of 40.9 transactions over the trailing-12-month period. But as of the end of Q1 2022, the average active user was undertaking 47 transactions over the trailing-12-month period.  If this figure keeps rising, it suggests PayPal should have no trouble extracting increasingly larger profits out of its growing active users.</p><p>PayPal also expects to be a sizable player in the buy now, pay later (BNPL) space. While most BNPL businesses are likely to see delinquencies rise as the U.S. and global economy worsens in the coming quarters, the future for financed digital purchases appears bright. It&#39;s why PayPal ponied up $2.7 billion to acquire BNPL provider Paidy in Japan in 2021.</p><p>Over the past five years, PayPal has averaged a forward-year price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 38.1. Investors can scoop up shares right now for less than half that amount (18.3 times forward-year earnings).</p><h2>Alphabet</h2><p>The third Nasdaq 100 stock to buy hand over fist in August is none other than FAANG stock <b>Alphabet</b> (GOOGL) (GOOG). Alphabet is the parent company of widely used internet search engine Google and streaming platform YouTube.</p><p>Any skepticism toward Alphabet effectively echoes what&#39;s already been said about Amazon and PayPal. With the U.S. in what some might consider to be a &#34;recession&#34; after two consecutive quarterly GDP declines, there&#39;s the belief that ad revenue will take a sizable hit. Since Alphabet generates the bulk of its sales from ads, there&#39;s a possibility it could see sales and profits decline as the U.S. and global economy weaken. But this only tells a small sliver of the company&#39;s growth story.</p><p>To begin with, Google might as well be considered a monopoly in the internet search space. For the past two years (through June 2022), it&#39;s controlled up to a 93% global share of internet search.  With the next-closest competitor 88 percentage points in the rearview mirror, it&#39;s no wonder the company is able to command such excellent pricing power on its ads. Save for the initial stages of the pandemic that led to lockdowns, Google has consistently grown by a double-digit percentage for more than two decades.</p><p>But just like Amazon, it&#39;s not Alphabet&#39;s foundation that is its most exciting segment. Rather, it&#39;s the numerous revenue offshoots that offer superior growth potential throughout the decade.</p><p>For instance, YouTube has become one of the most visited social media sites on the planet, with 2.56 billion monthly active users. Based on Alphabet&#39;s Q2 results, YouTube is generating an annual run rate of more than $29 billion in ad revenue (not including subscriptions).</p><p>There&#39;s also Google Cloud, which is Alphabet&#39;s cloud infrastructure service segment. It was the global No. 3 in cloud spending during Q1, with 8% market share, per Canalys.

Since hitting a record-closing high during the first week of January, the widely followed S&P 500 has lost as much as 24% of its value and tumbled into bear market territory.But it's been an even tougher go for growth-dependent stock indexes, such as the Nasdaq Composite and Nasdaq 100. The latter is comprised of the 100 largest nonfinancial stocks listed on the Nasdaq exchange. Since hitting their all-time highs, both the Nasdaq Composite and Nasdaq 100 have shed close to a third of their value at their peak.But there's another side to this story. While bear market declines can be scary, they're also the ideal time for long-term investors to do some shopping. This is especially true for growth stocks, which have taken it on the chin during the 2022 swoon in equities. The Nasdaq 100 is currently housing three bargain growth stocks that can confidently be bought hand over fist in August.AmazonThe first Nasdaq 100 stock that proved, once again, it belongs in investors' portfolios and can be bought hand over fist in August is e-commerce stock Amazon (AMZN).In each of the past two quarters, U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) retraced. This comes atop persistent supply chain issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as historically high inflation, which hit a four-decade high of 9.1% in June. In other words, Wall Street and investors fully expected Amazon to face-plant when it reported its second-quarter operating results. While there were a number of one-time charges that weighed on the company's bottom line, the fact remains that its high-margin operating segments and long-term growth trajectory remain unfazed by near-term economic weakness.The interesting thing about Amazon is that its most well-known operating segment may prove to be its least important over the long run. On the one hand, Amazon's online marketplace is expected to account for 39.5% of U.S. online retail sales in 2022. That's more than its next-closest 14 competitors added together. On the other hand, retail is a low-margin segment.What's far more important for Amazon is how its marketplace has helped funnel business into its higher-margin segments. For instance, the company's leading marketplace helped it sign up more than 200 million Prime members. The tens of billions of dollars collected in annual Prime fees allow Amazon to invest in its rapidly growing logistics network and redirect capital to high-margin initiatives.Arguably the highest-margin initiative for the company is Amazon Web Services (AWS). According to a report from Canalys, AWS accounted for 33% of global cloud infrastructure spending in the first quarter. AWS managed 33% year-over-year sales growth in the challenged second quarter and has consistently provided the lion's share of Amazon's operating income despite accounting for around 15% to 16% of net sales.The final reason to pile into Amazon is its valuation. After more than a decade of investors willingly paying 20 or more times year-end cash flow, investors can buy Amazon right now for a little over nine times Wall Street's forecast cash flow in 2025.PayPal HoldingsThe second Nasdaq 100 stock that's begging to be bought in August is fintech giant PayPal Holdings (PYPL). PayPal is the parent of popular peer-to-peer payment app Venmo.The prevailing concern for digital payment companies over the past couple of quarters is that inflation would adversely impact their operating performance. Rising prices disproportionately impact lower-earning deciles, which has the potential to result in reduced usage on digital payment platforms. Although PayPal has, indeed, sounded a cautious tone over the short run, the theme of this list is that its long-term growth strategy remains well intact.For instance, PayPal managed to deliver 15% constant-currency growth in total payment volume on its platform during Q1 (note, this write-up was done prior to PayPal reporting Q2 results on Aug. 2, 2022). Not only does this demonstrate that consumer spending is stronger than some folks realize, but it suggests that digital payments are still in their infancy and capable of sustained, double-digit growth for a long time to come.What's more, engagement across PayPal's digital platforms has been steadily climbing. At the end of 2020, active users were completing an average of 40.9 transactions over the trailing-12-month period. But as of the end of Q1 2022, the average active user was undertaking 47 transactions over the trailing-12-month period.  If this figure keeps rising, it suggests PayPal should have no trouble extracting increasingly larger profits out of its growing active users.PayPal also expects to be a sizable player in the buy now, pay later (BNPL) space. While most BNPL businesses are likely to see delinquencies rise as the U.S. and global economy worsens in the coming quarters, the future for financed digital purchases appears bright. It's why PayPal ponied up $2.7 billion to acquire BNPL provider Paidy in Japan in 2021.Over the past five years, PayPal has averaged a forward-year price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 38.1. Investors can scoop up shares right now for less than half that amount (18.3 times forward-year earnings).AlphabetThe third Nasdaq 100 stock to buy hand over fist in August is none other than FAANG stock Alphabet (GOOGL) (GOOG). Alphabet is the parent company of widely used internet search engine Google and streaming platform YouTube.Any skepticism toward Alphabet effectively echoes what's already been said about Amazon and PayPal. With the U.S. in what some might consider to be a \"recession\" after two consecutive quarterly GDP declines, there's the belief that ad revenue will take a sizable hit. Since Alphabet generates the bulk of its sales from ads, there's a possibility it could see sales and profits decline as the U.S. and global economy weaken. But this only tells a small sliver of the company's growth story.To begin with, Google might as well be considered a monopoly in the internet search space. For the past two years (through June 2022), it's controlled up to a 93% global share of internet search.  With the next-closest competitor 88 percentage points in the rearview mirror, it's no wonder the company is able to command such excellent pricing power on its ads. Save for the initial stages of the pandemic that led to lockdowns, Google has consistently grown by a double-digit percentage for more than two decades.But just like Amazon, it's not Alphabet's foundation that is its most exciting segment. Rather, it's the numerous revenue offshoots that offer superior growth potential throughout the decade.For instance, YouTube has become one of the most visited social media sites on the planet, with 2.56 billion monthly active users. Based on Alphabet's Q2 results, YouTube is generating an annual run rate of more than $29 billion in ad revenue (not including subscriptions).There's also Google Cloud, which is Alphabet's cloud infrastructure service segment. It was the global No. 3 in cloud spending during Q1, with 8% market share, per Canalys. Even though Google Cloud is weighing on Alphabet's bottom line for the moment, the high margins typically associated with cloud services should help it become a positive driver of operating cash flow sooner than later.At no point in Alphabet's storied history has it ever been this inexpensive relative to Wall Street's forward-year earnings forecast or cash flow projections. That makes Alphabet perhaps the smartest buy on this list and within the Nasdaq 100 right now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":32,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9047491086,"gmtCreate":1656952536745,"gmtModify":1676535921221,"author":{"id":"3572946614001509","authorId":"3572946614001509","name":"jolynnnnnnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a57c211e244dfbae9f8d7c0d2c8b547","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Financial independence does not come from any single counter.","listText":"Financial independence does not come from any single counter.","text":"Financial independence does not come from any single counter.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9047491086","repostId":"2248654390","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2248654390","pubTimestamp":1656927051,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2248654390?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-07-04 17:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"5 Remarkable Stocks That Can Guide You to Financial Independence in 20 Years","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2248654390","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Buying stakes in innovative businesses and allowing time to work its magic can be a powerful wealth-creating formula.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>This has not been a particularly good year for investors. Since reaching their respective all-time closing highs, the timeless <b>Dow Jones Industrial Average</b>, broad-based <b>S&amp;P 500</b>, and growth-focused <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> have plunged by as much as 19%, 24%, and 34%.</p><p>But when there&#39;s fear on Wall Street, there&#39;s always opportunity -- at least for long-term investors. Despite the S&amp;P 500 undergoing 39 double-digit declines since the beginning of 1950, each of the previous 38 drops (i.e., not counting the current bear market) were eventually cleared away by a bull market. These figures clearly show that patience and optimism prevail on Wall Street.</p><p>It&#39;s also a fantastic reminder that innovative, game-changing companies are currently trading at a discount. On the day we celebrate our independence as a nation, I offer five remarkable stocks that can use their unique tools and intangibles to guide you to financial independence in 20 years.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PINS\">Pinterest</a></h2><p>The first phenomenal company that can lead you to financial freedom when held for two decades is social media stock <b>Pinterest</b>. Although Pinterest&#39;s stock has been under pressure because of a short-term decline in monthly active users (MAU) and growing concerns about a recession, these shortsighted worries overlook a number of competitive advantages.</p><p>As an example, the recent MAU decline can be explained by COVID-19 vaccination rates climbing and people returning to some semblance of normal. However, if Pinterest&#39;s MAU growth is examined over a five-year period, it&#39;s maintained a pretty steady upward trajectory.</p><p>What&#39;s far more important is that the company has had no trouble generating more revenue from its users. Even with 45 million fewer MAUs in the March-ended quarter, relative to the prior-year period, global average revenue per user (ARPU) climbed 28%, with especially strong ARPU growth in international markets. This illustrates that merchants are willing to pay a premium to get their message in front of Pinterest&#39;s 433 million MAUs.</p><p>Furthermore, Pinterest&#39;s entire operating model is based on the idea that users are willingly sharing the things, services, and places that interest them. It effectively puts all pertinent info on a silver platter for merchants to target potential shoppers.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BRK.A\">Berkshire Hathaway</a></h2><p>Just because a company has a mammoth market cap, it doesn&#39;t mean it can&#39;t deliver jaw-dropping returns over multiple decades. Just ask Warren Buffett, the CEO of conglomerate <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>.</p><p>Since taking the reins in 1965, the Oracle of Omaha has led his company&#39;s Class A shares (BRK.A) to an annualized return of 20.1%, which works out to 3,641,613% on an aggregate basis, through Dec. 31, 2021.</p><p>One reason Berkshire Hathaway has been such an unstoppable force for nearly six decades is Warren Buffett&#39;s penchant for playing a simple numbers game. Buffett is well aware that recessions are an inevitable part of the economic cycle. But rather than trying to time when recessions will occur, he&#39;s packed Berkshire&#39;s investment portfolio with cyclical businesses. Because periods of economic expansion last significantly longer than recessions, Buffett has angled Berkshire Hathaway&#39;s portfolio to take advantage of the long-term expansion of the U.S. and global economy.</p><p>What&#39;s more, Berkshire Hathaway is a passive income-collecting machine. Over the next 12 months, Buffett&#39;s company should bring in more than $6 billion in dividend income. It should be noted that income stocks have a history of handily outperforming companies that don&#39;t offer a dividend; and Berkshire&#39;s portfolio is loaded with dividend-paying stocks.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ETSY\">Etsy</a></h2><p>A third remarkable stock that can help you pave a path to financial freedom is specialty e-commerce retailer <b>Etsy</b>. Similar to Pinterest, Etsy&#39;s near-term concerns regarding growth are easily outweighed by its sustainable competitive advantages.</p><p>Though it might seem as if online retailers are a dime a dozen, Etsy&#39;s platform is truly unique. Instead of relying solely on volume, no other online retailer focuses on consumer personalization at scale quite like Etsy. The company&#39;s platform is founded on small merchants and proprietors that sell unique or customized products. There simply isn&#39;t a lateral substitute for what Etsy offers.</p><p>The company has also done an incredible job of keeping its user base engaged. Between the end of 2019 and the end of 2021, the number of habitual buyers on the platform increased by 224%.  A &#34;habitual buyer&#34; is someone who makes at least six purchases totaling $200 in aggregate over a 12-month period. Growing the number of habitual buyers is what allows Etsy to charge merchants more to utilize its services and analytics.</p><p>As long as Etsy continues to reinvest in user-engagement initiatives, such as its recent push to incorporate video on its platform, it shouldn&#39;t have any issue delivering for patient investors.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LOVE\">Lovesac</a></h2><p>When you think of highly innovative businesses that can put you on track to reach financial independence in 20 years, furniture stocks probably don&#39;t come to mind. However, <b>Lovesac</b> has been demonstrating for years that it can effectively disrupt the stodgy furniture industry.</p><p>One of the biggest ways Lovesac has differentiated itself from traditional furniture retailers is with its products. Although beanbag-styled chairs, known as &#34;sacs,&#34; were once its top item, nearly 88% of net sales now come from &#34;sactionals.&#34;  A sactional is a modular couch that can be arranged dozens of ways to fit virtually any living space.</p><p>Aside from functionality, what separates sactionals from traditional furniture is choice and its ecofriendly construction. Sactionals have more than 200 different cover options, which means they can match any color or theme of a room. Buyers can also upgrade their sactional to include wireless charging stations and/or surround-sound speakers. But perhaps the greatest aspect of sactionals is that the yarn used in the covers is made entirely from recycled plastic water bottles.</p><p>If you need one more reason to trust in Lovesac&#39;s future, consider its omnichannel sales platform. During the pandemic, it was able to shift a significant portion of its sales online, as well as rely on popup showrooms and retail partnerships. With lower overhead costs than traditional furniture stores, Lovesac&#39;s operating margins should leave its peers in the dust.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOOG\">Alphabet</a></h2><p>A fifth remarkable stock that can guide you to financial independence over the coming two decades is <b>Alphabet</b>, the parent company of internet search engine Google and popular streaming platform YouTube.</p><p>For more than two decades, Google has been the company&#39;s cash cow. Over the past two years, Google&#39;s share of global internet search has been no lower than 91%, which makes it a veritable monopoly.  Businesses understand that the most-effective way to reach users via internet search is by advertising with Google. Long story short, Alphabet consistently enjoys strong ad-pricing power.</p><p>However, Alphabet&#39;s future might rest with its other, faster-growing revenue channels. YouTube has become the second most-popular social media site on the planet, which has unquestionably helped boost its ad revenue and premium subscriptions.</p><p>Meanwhile, Google Cloud has gobbled up 8% of global cloud infrastructure spending, according to first-quarter estimates from Canalys, and has been steadily growing by 40% to 50% on a year-over-year basis.  Because cloud service operating margins are higher than the operating margins generated from advertising, Google Cloud could become Alphabet&#39;s leading cash flow generator by as soon as the midpoint of this decade.</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>5 Remarkable Stocks That Can Guide You to Financial Independence in 20 Years</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\">\n5 Remarkable Stocks That Can Guide You to Financial Independence in 20 Years\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-07-04 17:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/07/04/5-stocks-can-guide-you-to-financial-independence/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>This has not been a particularly good year for investors.

On the day we celebrate our independence as a nation, I offer five remarkable stocks that can use their unique tools and intangibles to guide you to financial independence in 20 years.PinterestThe first phenomenal company that can lead you to financial freedom when held for two decades is social media stock Pinterest. Although Pinterest's stock has been under pressure because of a short-term decline in monthly active users (MAU) and growing concerns about a recession, these shortsighted worries overlook a number of competitive advantages.As an example, the recent MAU decline can be explained by COVID-19 vaccination rates climbing and people returning to some semblance of normal. However, if Pinterest's MAU growth is examined over a five-year period, it's maintained a pretty steady upward trajectory.What's far more important is that the company has had no trouble generating more revenue from its users. Even with 45 million fewer MAUs in the March-ended quarter, relative to the prior-year period, global average revenue per user (ARPU) climbed 28%, with especially strong ARPU growth in international markets. This illustrates that merchants are willing to pay a premium to get their message in front of Pinterest's 433 million MAUs.Furthermore, Pinterest's entire operating model is based on the idea that users are willingly sharing the things, services, and places that interest them. It effectively puts all pertinent info on a silver platter for merchants to target potential shoppers.Berkshire HathawayJust because a company has a mammoth market cap, it doesn't mean it can't deliver jaw-dropping returns over multiple decades. Just ask Warren Buffett, the CEO of conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway.Since taking the reins in 1965, the Oracle of Omaha has led his company's Class A shares (BRK.A) to an annualized return of 20.1%, which works out to 3,641,613% on an aggregate basis, through Dec. 31, 2021.One reason Berkshire Hathaway has been such an unstoppable force for nearly six decades is Warren Buffett's penchant for playing a simple numbers game. Buffett is well aware that recessions are an inevitable part of the economic cycle. But rather than trying to time when recessions will occur, he's packed Berkshire's investment portfolio with cyclical businesses. Because periods of economic expansion last significantly longer than recessions, Buffett has angled Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio to take advantage of the long-term expansion of the U.S. and global economy.What's more, Berkshire Hathaway is a passive income-collecting machine. Over the next 12 months, Buffett's company should bring in more than $6 billion in dividend income. It should be noted that income stocks have a history of handily outperforming companies that don't offer a dividend; and Berkshire's portfolio is loaded with dividend-paying stocks.EtsyA third remarkable stock that can help you pave a path to financial freedom is specialty e-commerce retailer Etsy. Similar to Pinterest, Etsy's near-term concerns regarding growth are easily outweighed by its sustainable competitive advantages.Though it might seem as if online retailers are a dime a dozen, Etsy's platform is truly unique. Instead of relying solely on volume, no other online retailer focuses on consumer personalization at scale quite like Etsy. The company's platform is founded on small merchants and proprietors that sell unique or customized products. There simply isn't a lateral substitute for what Etsy offers.The company has also done an incredible job of keeping its user base engaged. Between the end of 2019 and the end of 2021, the number of habitual buyers on the platform increased by 224%.  A \"habitual buyer\" is someone who makes at least six purchases totaling $200 in aggregate over a 12-month period. Growing the number of habitual buyers is what allows Etsy to charge merchants more to utilize its services and analytics.As long as Etsy continues to reinvest in user-engagement initiatives, such as its recent push to incorporate video on its platform, it shouldn't have any issue delivering for patient investors.LovesacWhen you think of highly innovative businesses that can put you on track to reach financial independence in 20 years, furniture stocks probably don't come to mind. However, Lovesac has been demonstrating for years that it can effectively disrupt the stodgy furniture industry.One of the biggest ways Lovesac has differentiated itself from traditional furniture retailers is with its products. Although beanbag-styled chairs, known as \"sacs,\" were once its top item, nearly 88% of net sales now come from \"sactionals.\"  A sactional is a modular couch that can be arranged dozens of ways to fit virtually any living space.Aside from functionality, what separates sactionals from traditional furniture is choice and its ecofriendly construction. Sactionals have more than 200 different cover options, which means they can match any color or theme of a room. Buyers can also upgrade their sactional to include wireless charging stations and/or surround-sound speakers. But perhaps the greatest aspect of sactionals is that the yarn used in the covers is made entirely from recycled plastic water bottles.If you need one more reason to trust in Lovesac's future, consider its omnichannel sales platform. During the pandemic, it was able to shift a significant portion of its sales online, as well as rely on popup showrooms and retail partnerships. With lower overhead costs than traditional furniture stores, Lovesac's operating margins should leave its peers in the dust.AlphabetA fifth remarkable stock that can guide you to financial independence over the coming two decades is Alphabet, the parent company of internet search engine Google and popular streaming platform YouTube.For more than two decades, Google has been the company's cash cow. Over the past two years, Google's share of global internet search has been no lower than 91%, which makes it a veritable monopoly.  Businesses understand that the most-effective way to reach users via internet search is by advertising with Google. Long story short, Alphabet consistently enjoys strong ad-pricing power.However, Alphabet's future might rest with its other, faster-growing revenue channels. YouTube has become the second most-popular social media site on the planet, which has unquestionably helped boost its ad revenue and premium subscriptions.Meanwhile, Google Cloud has gobbled up 8% of global cloud infrastructure spending, according to first-quarter estimates from Canalys, and has been steadily growing by 40% to 50% on a year-over-year basis.  Because cloud service operating margins are higher than the operating margins generated from advertising, Google Cloud could become Alphabet's leading cash flow generator by as soon as the midpoint of this decade.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":4,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9059735285,"gmtCreate":1654429517347,"gmtModify":1676535446385,"author":{"id":"3572946614001509","authorId":"3572946614001509","name":"jolynnnnnnnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a57c211e244dfbae9f8d7c0d2c8b547","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tesla is MORE than an EV company.

CEO&#39;s orbit.</p><p>Mr. Musk was increasingly relying on a new adviser, a 34-year-old, Russian-born ex-professional gambler named Igor Kurganov. Mr. Kurganov spent some of the pandemic sleeping in Mr. Musk&#39;s home, where they chatted late into the night about how the world&#39;s richest person might use his fortune to help shape the planet through a giving strategy known as &#34;effective altruism.&#34;</p><p>Mr. Kurganov had no experience in finance or security but was suddenly a central figure in both areas for Mr. Musk. He had moved from London to Texas and replaced some of Mr. Musk&#39;s protection detail with new hires of his own. Not long after, the Tesla CEO told Mr. Birchall that he was so taken by the younger man&#39;s ideas that he wanted to leave him in charge of his charitable giving, dispersing funds from Mr. Musk&#39;s vast private fortune, currently around $230 billion, as he saw fit.</p><p>&#34;Elon,&#34; Mr. Birchall told his boss, according to three people briefed afterward. &#34;You can&#39;t.&#34;</p><p>The clash between the two men, and their dueling efforts to gain the upper hand with Mr. Musk, provides a peek into the often tumultuous private workings of Mr. Musk&#39;s inner circle. As Mr. Musk&#39;s breakneck, $44 billion bid for Twitter shows, the entrepreneur can be prone to quick decisions, ones that he can reverse just as quickly as he makes them. That deal is now in peril, with Mr. Musk trying to walk away and Twitter suing him to complete it.</p><p>All the while he is egged on by a rotating crew of investors, underlings and ever-changing friends whose power and personal wealth is closely tied to their proximity to Mr. Musk, according to people who do business with him.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> men in particular have pulled the Tesla CEO in opposing directions.</p><p>Mr. Birchall is an Eagle Scout and practicing Mormon who doesn&#39;t smoke or drink and grew up traveling California as part of a song-and-dance troupe called &#34;The Birchall Family Singers.&#34; He declined to be interviewed through a representative of Mr. Musk&#39;s foundation.</p><p>Mr. Kurganov is a high-roller with a reported more than $18 million in poker winnings, with long hair and beard and a peaceful demeanor. He has said in a podcast interview that he dropped out of college because he was smoking too much marijuana. He didn&#39;t respond to requests for comment.</p><p>Last winter, Mr. Musk came to a compromise between the two. He allowed Mr. Kurganov to oversee $5.7 billion in Tesla shares that the CEO pledged late last year to eventually donate to charity. The rest of Mr. Musk&#39;s overall fortune remained under Mr. Birchall&#39;s purview.</p><p>That decision wasn&#39;t, however, the end of the fracas.</p><p>This account is based on interviews with more than a dozen people close to Messrs. Musk, Birchall and Kurganov, including associates of the Musk Foundation and investors.</p><h2>Ultimate fixer</h2><p>For a man of immense resources, Mr. Musk is a minnow in the world of big-dollar philanthropy. Compared with other magnates such as Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates and Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos, whose wealth, like Mr. Musk&#39;s, is tied up in shares of their companies, Mr. Musk has said little concrete about his approach to giving. He didn&#39;t respond to requests for comment.</p><p>Mr. Musk&#39;s personal foundation gave away $23.6 million in fiscal 2020, the most recent year for which data is available, filings show. That represented roughly 0.02% of his net worth as of the end of that year, according to Forbes rankings.</p><p>Though Mr. Musk is known to favor his own counsel most of all, the man in charge of his foundation since 2016 has been Mr. Birchall, one of the longest standing in his inner circle.</p><p>The alliance reflects Mr. Birchall&#39;s role as the ultimate fixer for Mr. Musk, taking care of matters large and small. In addition to handling billions in assets, Mr. Birchall in 2018 under a pseudonym registered the website www.justballs.com, for example, after Mr. Musk mused online that he might want to own the domain name someday, legal documents show.</p><p>Mr. Birchall entered the technology world through finance. After his brief singing stint with his siblings -- he is one of 11 children -- he attended Brigham Young University.</p><p>He then spent a year at Merrill Lynch, where he was discharged for what the firm described in a filing as &#34;sending correspondence to a client without management approval.&#34;</p><p>Mr. Birchall eventually moved into private wealth and crossed paths with Mr. Musk about a decade ago while working as a client adviser in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a>&#39;s southern California offices.

CEO&#39;s orbit.</p><p>Mr. Musk was increasingly relying on a new adviser, a 34-year-old, Russian-born ex-professional gambler named Igor Kurganov. Mr. Kurganov spent some of the pandemic sleeping in Mr. Musk&#39;s home, where they chatted late into the night about how the world&#39;s richest person might use his fortune to help shape the planet through a giving strategy known as &#34;effective altruism.&#34;</p><p>Mr. Kurganov had no experience in finance or security but was suddenly a central figure in both areas for Mr. Musk. He had moved from London to Texas and replaced some of Mr. Musk&#39;s protection detail with new hires of his own. Not long after, the Tesla CEO told Mr. Birchall that he was so taken by the younger man&#39;s ideas that he wanted to leave him in charge of his charitable giving, dispersing funds from Mr. Musk&#39;s vast private fortune, currently around $230 billion, as he saw fit.</p><p>&#34;Elon,&#34; Mr. Birchall told his boss, according to three people briefed afterward. &#34;You can&#39;t.&#34;</p><p>The clash between the two men, and their dueling efforts to gain the upper hand with Mr. Musk, provides a peek into the often tumultuous private workings of Mr. Musk&#39;s inner circle. As Mr. Musk&#39;s breakneck, $44 billion bid for Twitter shows, the entrepreneur can be prone to quick decisions, ones that he can reverse just as quickly as he makes them. That deal is now in peril, with Mr. Musk trying to walk away and Twitter suing him to complete it.</p><p>All the while he is egged on by a rotating crew of investors, underlings and ever-changing friends whose power and personal wealth is closely tied to their proximity to Mr. Musk, according to people who do business with him.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> men in particular have pulled the Tesla CEO in opposing directions.</p><p>Mr. Birchall is an Eagle Scout and practicing Mormon who doesn&#39;t smoke or drink and grew up traveling California as part of a song-and-dance troupe called &#34;The Birchall Family Singers.&#34; He declined to be interviewed through a representative of Mr. Musk&#39;s foundation.</p><p>Mr. Kurganov is a high-roller with a reported more than $18 million in poker winnings, with long hair and beard and a peaceful demeanor. He has said in a podcast interview that he dropped out of college because he was smoking too much marijuana. He didn&#39;t respond to requests for comment.</p><p>Last winter, Mr. Musk came to a compromise between the two. He allowed Mr. Kurganov to oversee $5.7 billion in Tesla shares that the CEO pledged late last year to eventually donate to charity. The rest of Mr. Musk&#39;s overall fortune remained under Mr. Birchall&#39;s purview.</p><p>That decision wasn&#39;t, however, the end of the fracas.</p><p>This account is based on interviews with more than a dozen people close to Messrs. Musk, Birchall and Kurganov, including associates of the Musk Foundation and investors.</p><h2>Ultimate fixer</h2><p>For a man of immense resources, Mr. Musk is a minnow in the world of big-dollar philanthropy. Compared with other magnates such as Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates and Amazon.com Inc. founder Jeff Bezos, whose wealth, like Mr. Musk&#39;s, is tied up in shares of their companies, Mr. Musk has said little concrete about his approach to giving. He didn&#39;t respond to requests for comment.</p><p>Mr. Musk&#39;s personal foundation gave away $23.6 million in fiscal 2020, the most recent year for which data is available, filings show. That represented roughly 0.02% of his net worth as of the end of that year, according to Forbes rankings.</p><p>Though Mr. Musk is known to favor his own counsel most of all, the man in charge of his foundation since 2016 has been Mr. Birchall, one of the longest standing in his inner circle.</p><p>The alliance reflects Mr. Birchall&#39;s role as the ultimate fixer for Mr. Musk, taking care of matters large and small. In addition to handling billions in assets, Mr. Birchall in 2018 under a pseudonym registered the website www.justballs.com, for example, after Mr. Musk mused online that he might want to own the domain name someday, legal documents show.</p><p>Mr. Birchall entered the technology world through finance. After his brief singing stint with his siblings -- he is one of 11 children -- he attended Brigham Young University.</p><p>He then spent a year at Merrill Lynch, where he was discharged for what the firm described in a filing as &#34;sending correspondence to a client without management approval.&#34;</p><p>Mr. Birchall eventually moved into private wealth and crossed paths with Mr. Musk about a decade ago while working as a client adviser in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a>&#39;s southern California offices.
