@Daveforceone:The stock market may try to regain its footing in the next few sessions, even as a fresh inflation report looms large at the end of the week.Stocks struggled to move forward in the past week. With Friday’s sell-off, the major indexes closed out the four-day period with losses. That was disappointing to investors looking for a similar upside to the week before Memorial Day during which the S&P 500 gained about 6.5%.While the S&P 500 briefly dipped into a bear market on May 20, it has not closed with a 20% decline from its high. However, Sonders said the current situation is the equivalent of a bear market, based on the sharp declines in individual stocks.

amounted to a staggering $188.2 billion.</li><li>The cloud computing market is clearly experiencing a slowdown as a result of companies tightening expenses due to the uncertain macroeconomic environment.</li><li>Both Amazon and Microsoft have highly profitable cloud computing businesses while Google Cloud profitability remains an uncertainty.</li></ul><p>As a result of covering the top cloud computing companies in the market, I wanted to share with the readers at Seeking Alpha an overview of the cloud computing market and why I believe this space provides attractive investment opportunities. Readers can see that I have a buy rating on <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft</a>, and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOOGL\">Alphabet</a>. One of the main reasons for these ratings is their strong presence in the already sizeable and growing cloud computing market. Given this market is driven by the increasing demand of data storage and processing capabilities, the runway for growth is still considerable. Further to this, there is already solid data backing the stable revenues and high operating margins some companies in this space are able to achieve. This space is also changing some of the biggest companies in the world as a result of their cloud computing segments being their fastest growing segments and contributing to a sizable portion of their operating incomes. Furthermore, the cloud computing market has high barriers to entry with multi billion dollar investments needed in order to possess the scalability, efficiency, footprint, and capabilities to offer the best-in-class services. This results in significant competitive advantages for well-established technology companies such as AMZN, MSFT, and GOOGL. Let´s take a look into what really is cloud computing. I hope you enjoy the read!</p><h3>What is Cloud Computing?</h3><p>Let&#39;s start with the basics. What is cloud computing? Cloud computing is essentially a network of servers around the world acting as a huge hard drive. Before the cloud existed, companies and individuals needed to back up their information and data into external devices, meaning a different hard drive. Nowadays, all this information and data can be transferred into the cloud, making it much more efficient and convenient for companies and individuals. One of the main benefits of the cloud is the accessibility to data and information remotely from anywhere in world at any given time as long as you have an internet connection. Companies and individuals also do not have the constraint of having too little storage, as in the cloud you can essentially store all the data you want and need.</p><p>Most of the cloud services offered are based on a subscription model meaning there is a monthly fee paid by customers. The beauty of this model for customers is that they are able to scale up or down their costs as they see fit. So, the more they use the cloud the more they will need to pay, while the less they use it the lower their costs will be.</p><p>So, why do companies want to move to the cloud instead of managing their data on premises? Of course, the main reason is to save money. Instead of having to build and power their own data centers and pay employees to operate them, companies can instead save time and effort by simply paying a cloud provider for this service. This also gives companies flexibility. Given the cloud can be used as they see fit, they can use it more during certain months or less during quite times. This gives companies the flexibility to adjust to their own needs.</p><h3>How do cloud providers generate revenues?</h3><p>Cloud computing is and has been a booming market for about a decade now and is likely to continue growing. For reference the global cloud computing market is projected to reach over $1.2 trillion by 2027. As such companies of the likes of AMZN, MSFT and GOOGL are all vying for a piece of the market. But how do these companies generate revenues from the cloud? As previously explained, the cloud model is a subscription model where companies can choose to subscribe to various services and pay as they go, meaning they pay depending on the usage of the services. There are several ways cloud providers generate revenues from cloud services, going from data storage, data transfers, cyber security, etc. According to tech researcher Gartner (IT), MSFT and AMZN have the most complete ecosystems of software and partnerships with third-party software-as-a-service providers.</p><h3>Competitive Landscape</h3><p>At the moment it is clear that cloud computing is truly dominated by two companies, AMZN with its AWS business recording revenues during the trailing twelve months (“TTM”) of $80.1 billion and MSFT with its cloud segment recording TTM revenues of $81.8 billion. Nonetheless, there is a distant third making strides to become a worthy opponent to these cloud giants. I am talking about Alphabet, a company with its Google Cloud business that has doubled revenues within two years and shows no sign of stopping. Although at a very distant third, Google Cloud has just reported revenues during the last twelve months of $26.3 billion and experienced a 37% growth rate year on year. Although Google Cloud is still a third of the size compared to AWS or MSFT Intelligent Cloud segment, it should not be left out as a top competitor in the space.</p><p>To understand why Google Cloud is a true competitor in the space, let´s take a look at AWS during 2018. At the end of 2018, AWS had very similar numbers to Google Cloud with revenues at approx. $26 billion showing growth rates of 50%. Yes, the growth rate was higher than Google Cloud&#39;s 37%, but it just goes to show that within 5 years, AWS was able to grow to $80 billion in revenues and $22.8 billion in operating income.</p><p>Despite AMZN, MSFT and GOOGL being the top players in the market there are also other well-established companies vying for market share such as IBM (IBM), Oracle (ORCL), Salesforce (CRM), etc. At the other side of the ocean there are the Chinese tech giants Alibaba (BABA), Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY), Baidu (BIDU) and Huawei competing for market share in the Chinese cloud computing market which is set to grow to $84 billion by 2026. Even though these companies are still relatively small in regards to cloud computing compared to AMZN, GOOGL and MSFT, with time they can grow and become serious contenders. Let&#39;s now take a look at the individual names and how they have performed!</p><h3><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/234dd572ace958d37013f1cca08c3b86\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"393\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Amazon Web Services</h3><p>AWS was launched in 2006 seeing an explosive growth since then, generating revenues of $80 billion and operating income of $22.8 billion during 2022. AWS offers a variety of services including database, storage, web &amp; mobile apps, machine learning, etc. According to Amazon, the number of active AWS users exceeds 1 million with customers such as Goldman Sachs, Disney, Samsung, Snapchat, etc.</p><p>AWS keeps raking in big time customers, during the fourth quarter it added Yahoo Ad Tech, Brookfield Asset Management, Wallbox, American Family Insurance, etc. Further to this, AWS also launched new regions in Spain and Switzerland as well as a second region in India to continue expanding its infrastructure footprint. As of the end of 2022, AWS has 96 availability zones within 30 geographic regions globally, with announced plans to launch 15 more availability zones and 5 more AWS regions.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f48d27c77570b7dfce6a2f7d91c720b\" tg-width=\"628\" tg-height=\"246\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>From the table above, it can be seen that AWS increased revenues by 29% year-over-year to $80.1 billion. Despite AWS revenues only accounting for ~16% of AMZN total revenues AWS operating income which stood at $22.8 billion accounted for 100% of the company&#39;s operating income. Yes, you read that correctly, both North America and International segments recorded a loss during 2022 and AWS completely offset these losses due to its high profitability. To give another example during 2020 and 2021, AWS accounted for 74% and 59% of the company&#39;s total operating income. As you can see AMZN depends heavily on its cloud business for its growth.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/174c0602744843fefd8fe2f5e176016c\" tg-width=\"608\" tg-height=\"225\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>On a quarterly basis, AWS has seen a decrease on its growth rate to 20% from 40% during the fourth quarter of 2021. As it will be seen later in the article, both MSFT and GOOGL also experienced a slowdown in growth rates. Starting back in the middle of the third quarter of 2022, management started seeing growth rates slow as companies of all sizes looked into their cloud spending in response to the tough macroeconomic conditions. These optimization efforts continued into the fourth quarter and will most probably continue for next couple of quarters.</p><h3>Robust Yearly Growth Continues</h3><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4f458eb0d298692535415cd35c48e0d9\" tg-width=\"607\" tg-height=\"227\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>AWS was very close to double revenues within two years. During 2020 revenues stood at $45.3 billion, fast forward two years and we see revenues touching the $80 billion mark. With the market expected to continue growing to $1.2 trillion by 2027 and with AMZN investing in its global footprint, we could see AWS growing by tens of billions of dollars albeit at a slower growth rate than previous years.</p><h3>MSFT Intelligent Cloud</h3><p>Microsoft Azure was launched in 2010, however Microsoft Intelligent Cloud segment consists of other cloud services such as SQL Server, Windows Server, Visual Studio, among others. The Intelligent Cloud segment services include databases, data storage, artificial intelligence, networking, web and mobile apps, etc. Similarly to AMZN, MSFT has also seen explosive growth during the last decade with TTM revenues standing at $81.2 billion and a whopping operating income of $34.8 billion. MSFT enjoys of a cloud computing business that constantly generates a truly spectacular operating income margin above 40%.</p><p>According to the company, in mid-2021 over 95 percent of Fortune 500 companies used Azure, it had over 145 million daily active users on Microsoft Teams, and over 250 thousand organizations using Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Microsoft Power Platform. Big name customers include T-Mobile, Bayer, L&#39;Oreal, Walmart, etc.</p><p>According to Dgtl Ingfra, at the end of 2022 Microsoft Azure had 60 geographic regions globally and 116 availability zones. This numbers are substantially higher than AWS and Google Cloud which combined have 64 geographic regions. This of course gives MSFT a competitive advantage regarding its reach to lure companies across the world towards its cloud services.</p><h3>Impact of MSFT Intelligent Cloud on Microsoft Overall Business</h3><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3cfe82b3d844511c33cf17e8788cfd5d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"161\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>MSFT Intelligent Cloud segment increased its revenues to $81.8 billion during the TTM. MSFT Intelligent Cloud segment is quite important for Microsoft but not critical as AWS is for AMZN. The Intelligent Cloud segment now accounts for 40% of the company&#39;s total revenues and for 42% of MSFT operating income. This should give MSFT shareholders a peace of mind as the business growth does not depend entirely on the cloud segment.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8776c7389b26d35ab5619dbd4b8e0aff\" tg-width=\"604\" tg-height=\"207\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>During the last quarter, revenue increased 18%, here we can also see that the growth rate is slowing down and actually touched the teens for MSFT. However, it should be mentioned that in dollar terms the growth remained relatively flat at $3.2 billion compared to $3.6 billion during the same period last year. Further to this, during 2022 MSFT completed the acquisition of Nuance Communications. Nuance is a leader in conversational AI and ambient intelligence across industries including healthcare, financial services, retail, and telecommunications. This will help the Intelligent Cloud segment strengthen MSFT capabilities across these industries and should boost revenue growth during the coming quarters.</p><h3>Growth Continues with Operating Margin Holding Up</h3><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86e4542d8dcb4be066d049b07cd0744d\" tg-width=\"601\" tg-height=\"209\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>MSFT fiscal year ends in June, as such we can compare the previous 3 years and the TTM results. With this information we can see that MSFT is very close to double revenues within 3 years. During FYE 2020 revenues stood at $48.4 billion, fast forward to the end of 2022 and we see revenues at $81 billion. I think it is very important to understand that we are talking about businesses which are about to touch the $100 billion mark and are still growing at very attractive growth rates. Albeit at a weaker rate, thanks to MSFT global footprint we should continue seeing this business growing and become an even more significant part of MSFT business as a whole.</p><h3>Google Cloud</h3><p>Google Cloud was made available for customers at the end of 2011 and since then it has become the third largest cloud service provider globally generating revenues of $26.3 billion during 2022. Google Cloud services include databases, security, smart analytics, artificial intelligence, etc. According to Dgtl Infra, as of the end of 2022 Google Cloud has 34 regions and 103 availability zones in operation. These regions include United States, Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Thanks to its global reach, Google Cloud has been able to land big name customers such as Airbus, Procter &amp; Gamble, Carrefour, PayPal, Vodafone, Twitter, among others.</p><p>Now, it is time to address the elephant in the room, even though Google Cloud is already a big business and growing at attractive rates, it remains unprofitable. This means that the business has been unprofitable for more than a decade. We could ask ourselves, how is it that a $26 billion revenue generating business continues to be unprofitable? Well, as management has mentioned during many investors calls it all comes down to spending money in order to make money. Specifically during the latest investor call management mentioned it keeps investing ahead of revenues, these investments are significant and keep the business from becoming profitable. Let&#39;s take a look at Google Cloud financials.</p><h3>Impact of Google Cloud on Alphabet Overall Business</h3><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6060d2f2682900ec1ca0be3e5891df66\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"160\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Google Cloud continues to increase its relevance for the company&#39;s top line, however it has not been able to reach the 10% mark as of yet and as of the latest quarter results, it continues to depress the company&#39;s overall operating income. Saying this, from the table above, we can clearly see that revenues keep increasing while operating losses continue to shrink. For example, if you compare the losses during the first quarter to the losses during the fourth quarter, these have shrunk by about 50%. Further to this, revenue keeps increasing at a very attractive rate, Google Cloud finished the 2022 year with a revenue increase of 37% compared to the previous year. Important to note that the growth rate experience by Google Cloud is above the growth rates achieved by AMZN and MSFT on yearly basis. Additionally, Google Cloud backlog continued to increase during the year, standing at $64.3 billion at the end of 2022. For reference Google Cloud backlog at the end of first quarter of 2022 stood at $50.5 billion.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/70d1eb3b369fc582c61a2f54369afaad\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"216\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>During the last quarter revenue increased 32%, again similarly to AMZN and MSFT, Google Cloud experienced a slowdown compared to the previous periods. Also similarly to MSFT, during 2022 management pursued an acquisition in order to boost the business. GOOGL completed the acquisition of Mandiant in Sept. 2022. Mandiant&#39;s dynamic cyber defense, threat intelligence and incident response services are expected to enhance Google Cloud&#39;s security offerings. Finally, the fact that Google Cloud has been able to double revenues and reduce operating losses by more than 60% should not go unnoticed. Even though these are still losses, the company is trending in the right direction.</p><h3>Growth Continues but so do Operating Losses</h3><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e8c86fc52c911781cb4b9906b7d7bcd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"216\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Google Cloud revenues increased $7.1 billion from 2021 to 2022. This growth was primarily driven by Google Cloud Platform followed by Google Workspace offerings. Google Cloud&#39;s infrastructure and platform services were the largest drivers of growth in Google Cloud Platform. As for the decrease in operating losses, this was mainly driven by growth in revenues. As of the end of 2022, Google Cloud is very close to reaching the 10% mark as a percentage of total revenues. Also, the total losses for the year are now about 50% of the losses experienced during 2020. It is still too early to speculate if Google Cloud will be profitable for 2023, however, it is quite possible that the business will breakeven within the next four quarters.</p><h3>Google Cloud Revenue and Operating Losses Trend</h3><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/55e64658922254640c814afc7834679b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"340\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>To finalize the Google Cloud discussion, I wanted to show the above graph so that readers can see the revenues and operating losses trends from the trailing 10 quarters. As it can be seen Google Cloud revenues have been steadily growing albeit at a slower rate during the last four quarters. It can also be seen that operating losses are volatile with some quarters experiencing higher losses than other, nonetheless the trend here is that losses are decreasing. Another interesting fact is that Google Cloud has generated revenues for GOOGL amounting to $52.8 billion during the last ten quarters, however operating losses have amounted to $8.5 billion during the same timeframe. On a final note, Google Cloud has not seen a double-digit growth rate on a quarter-on-quarter basis for four quarters now, of course with higher revenues this is more difficult to achieve. It will be interesting to see if growth rates can climb back to the rates it was experiencing two years ago.</p><h3>Comparing Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Intelligent Cloud and Google Cloud</h3><p>Throughout the article I have provided insights on how these three businesses have performed on a financial basis and compared their growth rates, operating income margins, etc. Saying these I believe there are a couple interesting topics to help compare these cloud providers. The first one being the global footprint these businesses have, as with a more extensive footprint they will be able to reach more customers around the globe. For example, a noticeable trait where MSFT clearly has a competitive advantage compared to AMZN and GOOGL is the extensive global footprint MSFT has. As mentioned earlier Microsoft Azure has 60 geographic regions globally, this is significantly bigger numbers than AMZN and GOOGL which both have half of the geographic regions MSFT enjoys of. This extensive global footprint by MSFT was probably a driver for acquiring more customers worldwide. AMZN is clearly trying to catch up, announcing investments in 15 more availability zones and 5 more AWS regions. We can expect Google Cloud to make similar investments in order not to fall behind.</p><p>Another great topic to discuss, is how these three companies are trying to get as many customers as possible, however it seems that the true gains that really move the needle are customers which are big companies. It is here where the cloud providers can derive significant bigger tickets and drive revenue growth. As an example, according to consultancy firm Contino, Netflix was said to be one of AMZN biggest spenders in the cloud with about $19 million back in 2020. A customer with this ticket size is really what moves the needle for these companies. As for MSFT, its biggest customer back in 2020 was Verizon with a ticket size of $80 million. Similarly, one of Google Cloud&#39;s biggest customers back in 2020 was NewsCorp deriving revenues of $41 million. Of course much has changed since 2020, however this can give a feel of how important big spenders are for these cloud providers.</p><p>Finally, these companies are also trying to consolidate the market by acquiring companies in the space. For example during 2022, both MSFT and GOOGL made significant acquisition to bolster their cloud businesses. MSFT closed its $19.6 billion acquisition of Nuance Communications, while GOOGL closed it $5.4 billion acquisition of Mandiant. It should not come as a surprise if we keep seeing news of cloud computing companies being captured by these three leaders in the space.</p><h3>Cloud Computing Market Outlook</h3><p>Based on the comparative analysis of these three companies, it&#39;s clear that both AMZN and MSFT will increasingly depend on their cloud businesses to accelerate their revenue growth and earnings.

In this region we have strong players such as BABA, TCEHY, BIDU and Huawei vying for market share, and of course we can expect these companies to try to expand their businesses all across the Asia Pacific region. Even though these companies are still relatively small compared to AMZN, GOOGL and MSFT, with time they can grow and start rivaling the US Giants.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>This article is mainly focused on the three biggest companies in the space, but I hope it brought the readers not only a better understanding of how important cloud computing is to these companies but to all the companies in the space. The cloud computing market truly offers attractive investment opportunities, as things currently stand, I believe MSFT holds a strong competitive advantage compared to most of the companies in the space. The reasons for this are the stable and growing revenues experienced by MSFT cloud computing segment, its high operating margins constantly above 40% as well as its advantage due to its extensive global footprint. This does not mean MSFT is the only investment opportunity, but it provides a certain security factor compared to other companies in the space. I recommend that investors consider looking more deeply into companies in the cloud computing space and consider the potential of gaining exposure to this growing market.</p><p>Editor&#39;s Note: This article discusses one or more securities that do not trade on a major U.S. exchange.

Readers can see that I have a buy rating on Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet. One of the main reasons for these ratings is their strong presence in the already sizeable and growing cloud computing market. Given this market is driven by the increasing demand of data storage and processing capabilities, the runway for growth is still considerable. Further to this, there is already solid data backing the stable revenues and high operating margins some companies in this space are able to achieve. This space is also changing some of the biggest companies in the world as a result of their cloud computing segments being their fastest growing segments and contributing to a sizable portion of their operating incomes. Furthermore, the cloud computing market has high barriers to entry with multi billion dollar investments needed in order to possess the scalability, efficiency, footprint, and capabilities to offer the best-in-class services. This results in significant competitive advantages for well-established technology companies such as AMZN, MSFT, and GOOGL. Let´s take a look into what really is cloud computing. I hope you enjoy the read!What is Cloud Computing?Let's start with the basics. What is cloud computing? Cloud computing is essentially a network of servers around the world acting as a huge hard drive. Before the cloud existed, companies and individuals needed to back up their information and data into external devices, meaning a different hard drive. Nowadays, all this information and data can be transferred into the cloud, making it much more efficient and convenient for companies and individuals. One of the main benefits of the cloud is the accessibility to data and information remotely from anywhere in world at any given time as long as you have an internet connection. Companies and individuals also do not have the constraint of having too little storage, as in the cloud you can essentially store all the data you want and need.Most of the cloud services offered are based on a subscription model meaning there is a monthly fee paid by customers. The beauty of this model for customers is that they are able to scale up or down their costs as they see fit. So, the more they use the cloud the more they will need to pay, while the less they use it the lower their costs will be.So, why do companies want to move to the cloud instead of managing their data on premises? Of course, the main reason is to save money. Instead of having to build and power their own data centers and pay employees to operate them, companies can instead save time and effort by simply paying a cloud provider for this service. This also gives companies flexibility. Given the cloud can be used as they see fit, they can use it more during certain months or less during quite times. This gives companies the flexibility to adjust to their own needs.How do cloud providers generate revenues?Cloud computing is and has been a booming market for about a decade now and is likely to continue growing. For reference the global cloud computing market is projected to reach over $1.2 trillion by 2027. As such companies of the likes of AMZN, MSFT and GOOGL are all vying for a piece of the market. But how do these companies generate revenues from the cloud? As previously explained, the cloud model is a subscription model where companies can choose to subscribe to various services and pay as they go, meaning they pay depending on the usage of the services. There are several ways cloud providers generate revenues from cloud services, going from data storage, data transfers, cyber security, etc. According to tech researcher Gartner (IT), MSFT and AMZN have the most complete ecosystems of software and partnerships with third-party software-as-a-service providers.Competitive LandscapeAt the moment it is clear that cloud computing is truly dominated by two companies, AMZN with its AWS business recording revenues during the trailing twelve months (“TTM”) of $80.1 billion and MSFT with its cloud segment recording TTM revenues of $81.8 billion. Nonetheless, there is a distant third making strides to become a worthy opponent to these cloud giants. I am talking about Alphabet, a company with its Google Cloud business that has doubled revenues within two years and shows no sign of stopping. Although at a very distant third, Google Cloud has just reported revenues during the last twelve months of $26.3 billion and experienced a 37% growth rate year on year. Although Google Cloud is still a third of the size compared to AWS or MSFT Intelligent Cloud segment, it should not be left out as a top competitor in the space.To understand why Google Cloud is a true competitor in the space, let´s take a look at AWS during 2018. At the end of 2018, AWS had very similar numbers to Google Cloud with revenues at approx. $26 billion showing growth rates of 50%. Yes, the growth rate was higher than Google Cloud's 37%, but it just goes to show that within 5 years, AWS was able to grow to $80 billion in revenues and $22.8 billion in operating income.Despite AMZN, MSFT and GOOGL being the top players in the market there are also other well-established companies vying for market share such as IBM (IBM), Oracle (ORCL), Salesforce (CRM), etc. At the other side of the ocean there are the Chinese tech giants Alibaba (BABA), Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY), Baidu (BIDU) and Huawei competing for market share in the Chinese cloud computing market which is set to grow to $84 billion by 2026. Even though these companies are still relatively small in regards to cloud computing compared to AMZN, GOOGL and MSFT, with time they can grow and become serious contenders. Let's now take a look at the individual names and how they have performed!Amazon Web ServicesAWS was launched in 2006 seeing an explosive growth since then, generating revenues of $80 billion and operating income of $22.8 billion during 2022. AWS offers a variety of services including database, storage, web & mobile apps, machine learning, etc. According to Amazon, the number of active AWS users exceeds 1 million with customers such as Goldman Sachs, Disney, Samsung, Snapchat, etc.AWS keeps raking in big time customers, during the fourth quarter it added Yahoo Ad Tech, Brookfield Asset Management, Wallbox, American Family Insurance, etc. Further to this, AWS also launched new regions in Spain and Switzerland as well as a second region in India to continue expanding its infrastructure footprint. As of the end of 2022, AWS has 96 availability zones within 30 geographic regions globally, with announced plans to launch 15 more availability zones and 5 more AWS regions.From the table above, it can be seen that AWS increased revenues by 29% year-over-year to $80.1 billion. Despite AWS revenues only accounting for ~16% of AMZN total revenues AWS operating income which stood at $22.8 billion accounted for 100% of the company's operating income. Yes, you read that correctly, both North America and International segments recorded a loss during 2022 and AWS completely offset these losses due to its high profitability. To give another example during 2020 and 2021, AWS accounted for 74% and 59% of the company's total operating income. As you can see AMZN depends heavily on its cloud business for its growth.On a quarterly basis, AWS has seen a decrease on its growth rate to 20% from 40% during the fourth quarter of 2021. As it will be seen later in the article, both MSFT and GOOGL also experienced a slowdown in growth rates. Starting back in the middle of the third quarter of 2022, management started seeing growth rates slow as companies of all sizes looked into their cloud spending in response to the tough macroeconomic conditions. These optimization efforts continued into the fourth quarter and will most probably continue for next couple of quarters.Robust Yearly Growth ContinuesAWS was very close to double revenues within two years. During 2020 revenues stood at $45.3 billion, fast forward two years and we see revenues touching the $80 billion mark. With the market expected to continue growing to $1.2 trillion by 2027 and with AMZN investing in its global footprint, we could see AWS growing by tens of billions of dollars albeit at a slower growth rate than previous years.MSFT Intelligent CloudMicrosoft Azure was launched in 2010, however Microsoft Intelligent Cloud segment consists of other cloud services such as SQL Server, Windows Server, Visual Studio, among others. The Intelligent Cloud segment services include databases, data storage, artificial intelligence, networking, web and mobile apps, etc. Similarly to AMZN, MSFT has also seen explosive growth during the last decade with TTM revenues standing at $81.2 billion and a whopping operating income of $34.8 billion. MSFT enjoys of a cloud computing business that constantly generates a truly spectacular operating income margin above 40%.According to the company, in mid-2021 over 95 percent of Fortune 500 companies used Azure, it had over 145 million daily active users on Microsoft Teams, and over 250 thousand organizations using Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Microsoft Power Platform. Big name customers include T-Mobile, Bayer, L'Oreal, Walmart, etc.According to Dgtl Ingfra, at the end of 2022 Microsoft Azure had 60 geographic regions globally and 116 availability zones. This numbers are substantially higher than AWS and Google Cloud which combined have 64 geographic regions. This of course gives MSFT a competitive advantage regarding its reach to lure companies across the world towards its cloud services.Impact of MSFT Intelligent Cloud on Microsoft Overall BusinessMSFT Intelligent Cloud segment increased its revenues to $81.8 billion during the TTM. MSFT Intelligent Cloud segment is quite important for Microsoft but not critical as AWS is for AMZN. The Intelligent Cloud segment now accounts for 40% of the company's total revenues and for 42% of MSFT operating income. This should give MSFT shareholders a peace of mind as the business growth does not depend entirely on the cloud segment.During the last quarter, revenue increased 18%, here we can also see that the growth rate is slowing down and actually touched the teens for MSFT. However, it should be mentioned that in dollar terms the growth remained relatively flat at $3.2 billion compared to $3.6 billion during the same period last year. Further to this, during 2022 MSFT completed the acquisition of Nuance Communications. Nuance is a leader in conversational AI and ambient intelligence across industries including healthcare, financial services, retail, and telecommunications. This will help the Intelligent Cloud segment strengthen MSFT capabilities across these industries and should boost revenue growth during the coming quarters.Growth Continues with Operating Margin Holding UpMSFT fiscal year ends in June, as such we can compare the previous 3 years and the TTM results. With this information we can see that MSFT is very close to double revenues within 3 years. During FYE 2020 revenues stood at $48.4 billion, fast forward to the end of 2022 and we see revenues at $81 billion. I think it is very important to understand that we are talking about businesses which are about to touch the $100 billion mark and are still growing at very attractive growth rates. Albeit at a weaker rate, thanks to MSFT global footprint we should continue seeing this business growing and become an even more significant part of MSFT business as a whole.Google CloudGoogle Cloud was made available for customers at the end of 2011 and since then it has become the third largest cloud service provider globally generating revenues of $26.3 billion during 2022. Google Cloud services include databases, security, smart analytics, artificial intelligence, etc. According to Dgtl Infra, as of the end of 2022 Google Cloud has 34 regions and 103 availability zones in operation. These regions include United States, Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Thanks to its global reach, Google Cloud has been able to land big name customers such as Airbus, Procter & Gamble, Carrefour, PayPal, Vodafone, Twitter, among others.Now, it is time to address the elephant in the room, even though Google Cloud is already a big business and growing at attractive rates, it remains unprofitable. This means that the business has been unprofitable for more than a decade. We could ask ourselves, how is it that a $26 billion revenue generating business continues to be unprofitable? Well, as management has mentioned during many investors calls it all comes down to spending money in order to make money. Specifically during the latest investor call management mentioned it keeps investing ahead of revenues, these investments are significant and keep the business from becoming profitable. Let's take a look at Google Cloud financials.Impact of Google Cloud on Alphabet Overall BusinessGoogle Cloud continues to increase its relevance for the company's top line, however it has not been able to reach the 10% mark as of yet and as of the latest quarter results, it continues to depress the company's overall operating income. Saying this, from the table above, we can clearly see that revenues keep increasing while operating losses continue to shrink. For example, if you compare the losses during the first quarter to the losses during the fourth quarter, these have shrunk by about 50%. Further to this, revenue keeps increasing at a very attractive rate, Google Cloud finished the 2022 year with a revenue increase of 37% compared to the previous year. Important to note that the growth rate experience by Google Cloud is above the growth rates achieved by AMZN and MSFT on yearly basis. Additionally, Google Cloud backlog continued to increase during the year, standing at $64.3 billion at the end of 2022. For reference Google Cloud backlog at the end of first quarter of 2022 stood at $50.5 billion.During the last quarter revenue increased 32%, again similarly to AMZN and MSFT, Google Cloud experienced a slowdown compared to the previous periods. Also similarly to MSFT, during 2022 management pursued an acquisition in order to boost the business. GOOGL completed the acquisition of Mandiant in Sept. 2022. Mandiant's dynamic cyber defense, threat intelligence and incident response services are expected to enhance Google Cloud's security offerings. Finally, the fact that Google Cloud has been able to double revenues and reduce operating losses by more than 60% should not go unnoticed. Even though these are still losses, the company is trending in the right direction.Growth Continues but so do Operating LossesGoogle Cloud revenues increased $7.1 billion from 2021 to 2022. This growth was primarily driven by Google Cloud Platform followed by Google Workspace offerings. Google Cloud's infrastructure and platform services were the largest drivers of growth in Google Cloud Platform. As for the decrease in operating losses, this was mainly driven by growth in revenues. As of the end of 2022, Google Cloud is very close to reaching the 10% mark as a percentage of total revenues. Also, the total losses for the year are now about 50% of the losses experienced during 2020. It is still too early to speculate if Google Cloud will be profitable for 2023, however, it is quite possible that the business will breakeven within the next four quarters.Google Cloud Revenue and Operating Losses TrendTo finalize the Google Cloud discussion, I wanted to show the above graph so that readers can see the revenues and operating losses trends from the trailing 10 quarters. As it can be seen Google Cloud revenues have been steadily growing albeit at a slower rate during the last four quarters. It can also be seen that operating losses are volatile with some quarters experiencing higher losses than other, nonetheless the trend here is that losses are decreasing. Another interesting fact is that Google Cloud has generated revenues for GOOGL amounting to $52.8 billion during the last ten quarters, however operating losses have amounted to $8.5 billion during the same timeframe. On a final note, Google Cloud has not seen a double-digit growth rate on a quarter-on-quarter basis for four quarters now, of course with higher revenues this is more difficult to achieve. It will be interesting to see if growth rates can climb back to the rates it was experiencing two years ago.Comparing Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Intelligent Cloud and Google CloudThroughout the article I have provided insights on how these three businesses have performed on a financial basis and compared their growth rates, operating income margins, etc. Saying these I believe there are a couple interesting topics to help compare these cloud providers. The first one being the global footprint these businesses have, as with a more extensive footprint they will be able to reach more customers around the globe. For example, a noticeable trait where MSFT clearly has a competitive advantage compared to AMZN and GOOGL is the extensive global footprint MSFT has. As mentioned earlier Microsoft Azure has 60 geographic regions globally, this is significantly bigger numbers than AMZN and GOOGL which both have half of the geographic regions MSFT enjoys of. This extensive global footprint by MSFT was probably a driver for acquiring more customers worldwide. AMZN is clearly trying to catch up, announcing investments in 15 more availability zones and 5 more AWS regions. We can expect Google Cloud to make similar investments in order not to fall behind.Another great topic to discuss, is how these three companies are trying to get as many customers as possible, however it seems that the true gains that really move the needle are customers which are big companies. It is here where the cloud providers can derive significant bigger tickets and drive revenue growth. As an example, according to consultancy firm Contino, Netflix was said to be one of AMZN biggest spenders in the cloud with about $19 million back in 2020. A customer with this ticket size is really what moves the needle for these companies. As for MSFT, its biggest customer back in 2020 was Verizon with a ticket size of $80 million. Similarly, one of Google Cloud's biggest customers back in 2020 was NewsCorp deriving revenues of $41 million. Of course much has changed since 2020, however this can give a feel of how important big spenders are for these cloud providers.Finally, these companies are also trying to consolidate the market by acquiring companies in the space. For example during 2022, both MSFT and GOOGL made significant acquisition to bolster their cloud businesses. MSFT closed its $19.6 billion acquisition of Nuance Communications, while GOOGL closed it $5.4 billion acquisition of Mandiant. It should not come as a surprise if we keep seeing news of cloud computing companies being captured by these three leaders in the space.Cloud Computing Market OutlookBased on the comparative analysis of these three companies, it's clear that both AMZN and MSFT will increasingly depend on their cloud businesses to accelerate their revenue growth and earnings. At the same time, GOOGL will try to bolster its cloud segment and seek to become profitable. Despite being the clear leaders in the space, these companies will face robust competition from companies of the likes of IBM, ORCL, CRM, BABA, TCEHY, BIDU, etc.The pie will definitely get bigger with the global cloud computing market projected to reach over $1.2 trillion by 2027. From this, the Chinese cloud computing market alone is set to grow to $84 billion by 2026 and Asia Pacific as a whole is expected to reach $200 billion by 2024. In this region we have strong players such as BABA, TCEHY, BIDU and Huawei vying for market share, and of course we can expect these companies to try to expand their businesses all across the Asia Pacific region. Even though these companies are still relatively small compared to AMZN, GOOGL and MSFT, with time they can grow and start rivaling the US Giants.ConclusionThis article is mainly focused on the three biggest companies in the space, but I hope it brought the readers not only a better understanding of how important cloud computing is to these companies but to all the companies in the space. The cloud computing market truly offers attractive investment opportunities, as things currently stand, I believe MSFT holds a strong competitive advantage compared to most of the companies in the space. The reasons for this are the stable and growing revenues experienced by MSFT cloud computing segment, its high operating margins constantly above 40% as well as its advantage due to its extensive global footprint. This does not mean MSFT is the only investment opportunity, but it provides a certain security factor compared to other companies in the space. I recommend that investors consider looking more deeply into companies in the cloud computing space and consider the potential of gaining exposure to this growing market.Editor's Note: This article discusses one or more securities that do not trade on a major U.S. exchange.

Additionally, we believe the company could be supported by its performance advantage with its 144 core CPU which is higher than its competitors as well as integrated with its other AI software.</p><p>To project Nvidia’s CPU revenue, we assumed its share to rise 20% of our estimated market size by 2028 from 1% in 2023 assuming it releases its CPU as planned. We based our assumption of a 20% market share as we believe it could be faced with not only competitors such as Ampere but also AMD as its CFO indicated that it could embrace Arm CPUs and already had used Arm cores in other products such as microcontrollers while Intel plans to make Arm-based chips with its foundry for customers. This translates to average revenue growth of 133.1% for the company.</p><h2><b>Risk: Competition from Intel</b></h2><p>In addition to competition from AMD, Nvidia could face greater competition as Intel introduced its data center GPUs. While Intel (INTC) has not established itself in the discrete GPU market despite leading the total GPU market with its integrated GPUs, we believe the company could pose a significant threat to Nvidia. This is because Intel dominated the data center CPU market with a 94% market share in 2021 based on PassMark. We believe this could provide Intel with an opportunity to leverage its relationships with key data center customers with cross-selling opportunities. That said, as covered in our previous analysis, we also expect Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) to gain market share against Intel with its performance competitive advantages from its CPU portfolio.</p><h2><b>Valuation</b></h2><p>We summarized our revenue projections for the company’s Data Center segment in the table below.

In terms of specifications, it features 144 CPU cores, 1TB/s LPDDR5X and is connected coherently over NVLink®-C2C. The company also announced that multiple hardware vendors, including ASUS (OTC:AKCPF), Foxconn Industrial Internet, GIGABYTE, QCT, Supermicro and Wiwynn will build Grace-based systems that will start shipping in H1 2023. Additionally, the company had previously secured the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre, which has a budget of around $25 mln (fulfills 8% of forecasted Nvidia CPU revenue in 2023), as a customer for its CPUs and GPUs to provide 20 exaflops of AI performance.According to Omdia, 5% of servers shipped had Arm CPUs which is an increase compared to 2.5% in 2020. According to Softbank (OTCPK:SFTBY), the market share of Arm-based CPUs was forecasted to increase to 25% by 2028. We estimated the x86 data center CPU market size based on Intel’s DCG segment had revenues of $22.7 bln with a market share of 94.1% in 2021 based on Passmark. We then estimated the total data center CPU market size based on Arm’s market share of 5% by Omdia to derive the total data center CPU market which we forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 10.2% by 2028. Assuming the share of Arm CPUs increases to 25% by 2028 based on Softbank’s forecast, we derive the total Arm CPU market size of $12.5 bln in 2028.Arm CPU Market Projections ($ bln)20212022F2023F2024F2025F2026F2027F2028Fx86 Data Center CPU share95%94%92%90%87%84%80%75%Arm Data Center CPU Share5%6.3%7.9%10.0%12.5%15.8%19.9%25%Arm Data Center CPU Share CAGR25.8%25.8%25.8%25.8%25.8%25.8%x86 Data Center CPU market size24.126.228.430.632.834.836.437.6Growth %8.7%8.3%7.8%7.0%6.1%4.9%3.1%Arm Data Center CPU market size1.31.82.43.44.76.59.012.5Growth %38.7%38.7%38.7%38.7%38.7%38.7%38.7%Total25.428.030.834.037.441.345.550.1Growth %10.20%10.20%10.20%10.20%10.20%10.20%10.20%Source: Intel, Omdia, Softbank, BlueWeave Consulting, Khaveen InvestmentsCompanies such as Amazon, Ampere and Huawei had been developing Arm-based CPUs for servers. However, Amazon Graviton processors and Huawei’s Kunpeng chips are used in their own data centers in comparison to Nvidia. Based on a comparison of their specifications against Nvidia, Nvidia’s CPU offer a superior core count (144) compared to Ampere Altra Max (128), Amazon Graviton3 (64) and Huawei Kunpeng 920 (64). In terms of product and software integration, according to Nvidia, the Grace CPU will support its HPC software development kit and a full suite of CUDA libraries.Nvidia Arm CPU Revenue ($ bln)2023F2024F2025F2026F2027F2028FShare of TAM1%4.8%8.6%12.4%16.2%20%Nvidia CPU Revenue0.311.633.225.127.3710.02Growth %429.0%97.4%58.9%44.0%36.0%Source: Khaveen Investments All in all, we expect Nvidia’s introduction of its Arm CPU to support its data center segment growth as the company had already secured system hardware partners to build Grace CPU-based systems in H1 2023 and supercomputer customers. Additionally, we believe the company could be supported by its performance advantage with its 144 core CPU which is higher than its competitors as well as integrated with its other AI software.To project Nvidia’s CPU revenue, we assumed its share to rise 20% of our estimated market size by 2028 from 1% in 2023 assuming it releases its CPU as planned. We based our assumption of a 20% market share as we believe it could be faced with not only competitors such as Ampere but also AMD as its CFO indicated that it could embrace Arm CPUs and already had used Arm cores in other products such as microcontrollers while Intel plans to make Arm-based chips with its foundry for customers. This translates to average revenue growth of 133.1% for the company.Risk: Competition from IntelIn addition to competition from AMD, Nvidia could face greater competition as Intel introduced its data center GPUs. While Intel (INTC) has not established itself in the discrete GPU market despite leading the total GPU market with its integrated GPUs, we believe the company could pose a significant threat to Nvidia. This is because Intel dominated the data center CPU market with a 94% market share in 2021 based on PassMark. We believe this could provide Intel with an opportunity to leverage its relationships with key data center customers with cross-selling opportunities. That said, as covered in our previous analysis, we also expect Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) to gain market share against Intel with its performance competitive advantages from its CPU portfolio.ValuationWe summarized our revenue projections for the company’s Data Center segment in the table below. Whereas for its other segments, we retained our projections based on our previous analysis. Compared to our previous analysis, our revised revenue projections have a higher average revenue growth forecast of 28.3% compared to 23.4% in our previous analysis driven by higher revenue growth in its Data Center segment at an average of 33.6% compared to 21.9% previously.Nvidia Revenue Projections ($ bln)20212022F2023F2024F2025FGaming12,46215,95320,42126,14133,463Professional Visualization2,1112,3182,5452,7943,068Data Center10,61313,63218,05124,60633,858Automotive5666918421,0281,254OEM and Other1,1621,1621,1621,1621,162Total26,91433,75543,02255,73172,806Growth %61.4%25.4%27.5%29.5%30.6%Source: Nvidia, Khaveen Investments We valued the company based on a DCF analysis as we continue to expect it to generate positive FCFs. We updated our terminal value of the average chipmaker EV/EBITDA to 18.44x from 23.9x previously.SeekingAlpha, Khaveen InvestmentsBased on a discount rate of 13.3% (company’s WACC), our model shows its shares are undervalued by 99.58%.Khaveen InvestmentsVerdictTo conclude, we expect the company’s data center segment’s segment outlook to be supported by its presence across the 6 data center classes including supercomputers, enterprise computing, hyperscalers, cloud computing, edge computing and Factory AI with its broad hardware solutions and partnerships with key customers. Additionally, with its full stack of AI solutions, we expect the company to leverage its competitiveness to expand with its Enterprise AI software with an estimated revenue opportunity of $55 bln by 2028. Lastly, with the planned launch of its Arm CPU by 2023, we forecasted its revenue opportunity of $10 bln by 2028 based on a 20% market share assumption.Overall, we revised our revenue growth projections for the company with a higher average of 28.3% compared to 23.4% previously driven by higher data center segment growth from 21.9% to 33.6%. However, we obtained a lower price target with a lower EV/EBITDA average of 18.44x from 23.4x previously as well as a higher discount rate. Though, Nvidia’s stock price had declined by 51% YTD which we believe presents an attractive upside for the company. Overall, we rate the company as a Strong Buy with a target price of $289.85.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":110,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9059565543,"gmtCreate":1654396479782,"gmtModify":1676535441756,"author":{"id":"3573299881996779","authorId":"3573299881996779","name":"CocoPosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2994528efd5659c489648d11451cddd5","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9059565543","repostId":"9059676864","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":9059676864,"gmtCreate":1654381173458,"gmtModify":1676535436883,"author":{"id":"3574572626557999","authorId":"3574572626557999","name":"Daveforceone","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"The stock market may try to regain its footing in the next few sessions, even as a fresh inflation report looms large at the end of the week.Stocks struggled to move forward in the past week.

The company&#39;s early growth was powered by its proliferation of the espresso/internet café business model. But today, that model is widespread and gives Starbucks few competitive advantages over locally owned coffee shops that offer comparable products with arguably better atmospheres. However, the coffee giant has more than 27 million Starbucks Rewards members and generates 75% of its sales from mobile orders, deliveries, and drive-thru customers. That gives Starbucks a major leg up over competitors large and small.</p><p>To grow its grab-and-go ordering infrastructure, Starbucks needs investment capital. And that means fewer stock buybacks. When former CEO Howard Schultz stepped back in as interim CEO in early April, he immediately suspended what would have been the largest share buyback program in the company&#39;s history in favor of investing in the core business. It&#39;s a bit of a gamble, as Starbucks will need to prove that it can allocate capital in a way that benefits shareholders more than directly buying back stock would. But Starbucks returns capital in ways other than buybacks.</p><p>Unlike many growth stocks, Starbucks pays a sizable dividend. At the current share price, that payout offers a 2.5% yield, and management has raised the dividend for 11 consecutive years. And while the company cut its share repurchase program, there has been no suggestion that it will alter its pattern of dividend hikes. Starbucks typically announces a dividend raise of $0.04 or $0.05 per share per quarter in August or September. So if we don&#39;t hear anything from Starbucks when it reports fiscal Q3 2022 earnings in a couple of months, that would be cause for concern. But for now, more dividend raises appear to still be in the cards.</p><p>The next growth chapter for Starbucks looks like a massive global market opportunity. Yet the stock is down 40% from its all-time high and trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of 20.5. Throw in the appealing dividend, and this looks like a great opportunity to add a name-brand company to your portfolio that will pay off for decades.</p><h2>Use the market&#39;s skittishness to buy this travel leader</h2><p><b>Keith Noonan (Airbnb): </b>Many of the market&#39;s biggest losers in recent months had previously been riding performance tailwinds stemming from pandemic conditions. Software, entertainment, and communications companies that experienced surging engagement when people were making their most intense social distancing efforts now face difficult performance comparisons as our behaviors shift back toward their pre-pandemic norms.</p><p>That&#39;s all coming in conjunction with multiple compression for the market at large, which has led to some brutal stock price declines.</p><p>Meanwhile, Airbnb has actually seen its business surge as social distancing and travel restrictions have eased, but the company&#39;s stock has still participated in the stark pullback for growth stocks at large. The short-term rental specialist&#39;s share price is down 30% year to date and off 46% from its high. Yet its business and long-term outlook have never looked stronger.</p><p>Airbnb&#39;s revenue surged by roughly 70% year over year in the first quarter to $1.51 billion, and its adjusted loss of $0.03 per share was far better than the average analyst estimate for a loss of $0.29 per share. Accounting for seasonality, the business will almost certainly post a substantial profit this year, and with the shares trading at roughly 43 times this year&#39;s expected earnings, they look attractively valued -- particularly given the strength of the growth underway.</p><p>The travel industry remains poised for long-term expansion, and Airbnb looks well-positioned to take advantage of the unfolding digital-transformation and work-from-anywhere trends. With the company posting stellar pandemic-rebound performances, its substantial valuation decline looks to be a case of the baby being thrown out with the bathwater. The stock&#39;s risk-reward profile is very attractive, and I think investors who take a buy-and-hold approach will bank fantastic returns.</p><h2>Netflix is down, but certainly not out</h2><p><b>James Brumley</b> <b>(Netflix):</b> I completely understand why Netflix shares have been up-ended this year. This company is not only the biggest and best-known name in video streaming, it arguably created the entire industry. Serious competition has been building since late 2019, but we&#39;ve never really seen Netflix struggle to maintain its historical growth pace -- until now. In part due to the impact of alternatives like HBO Max and <b>Walt Disney</b>&#39;s (DIS -1.98%) Disney+, Netflix is suddenly experiencing a growth stall that was once unthinkable.</p><p>However, the stock is down by more than 70% from November&#39;s high, and I don&#39;t think it&#39;s a stretch to say that the sellers have overshot their target.</p><p>For instance, the market is not pricing the looming launch of a cheaper, ad-supported service into Netflix shares. Co-CEO Reed Hastings initially floated that idea back in April as something the company would &#34;figure out over the next year or two.&#34; Now, the rumors say the schedule has been accelerated, and suggest it could launch as soon as October.</p><p>And we know the ad-supported model works. Most subscribers to Disney&#39;s Hulu service take the option with commercials, and the bulk of HBO Max&#39;s most recent growth seems to coincide with last June&#39;s launch of an ad-supported tier. Disney is also developing an advertising-backed version of Disney+ that&#39;s slated to debut before the end of this year. These options are important to increasingly cost-conscious consumers, and I see no reason Netflix won&#39;t be able to rekindle its growth by jumping on the bandwagon. I wouldn&#39;t be at all surprised if its results from doing so are even better than expected. If they are, the stock&#39;s recent weakness will look, in retrospect, like an even stronger buying opportunity.</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>Down More Than 30%: 3 Top Nasdaq Growth Stocks to Buy in June</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\">\nDown More Than 30%: 3 Top Nasdaq Growth Stocks to Buy in June\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-06-05 14:14 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/06/04/down-more-than-30-3-top-nasdaq-growth-stocks-to-bu/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Facing a weaker economy, rising interest rates, and other destabilizing market forces, investors generally have been shifting their portfolios away from growth stocks.

In part due to the impact of alternatives like HBO Max and Walt Disney's (DIS -1.98%) Disney+, Netflix is suddenly experiencing a growth stall that was once unthinkable.However, the stock is down by more than 70% from November's high, and I don't think it's a stretch to say that the sellers have overshot their target.For instance, the market is not pricing the looming launch of a cheaper, ad-supported service into Netflix shares. Co-CEO Reed Hastings initially floated that idea back in April as something the company would \"figure out over the next year or two.\" Now, the rumors say the schedule has been accelerated, and suggest it could launch as soon as October.And we know the ad-supported model works. Most subscribers to Disney's Hulu service take the option with commercials, and the bulk of HBO Max's most recent growth seems to coincide with last June's launch of an ad-supported tier. Disney is also developing an advertising-backed version of Disney+ that's slated to debut before the end of this year. These options are important to increasingly cost-conscious consumers, and I see no reason Netflix won't be able to rekindle its growth by jumping on the bandwagon. I wouldn't be at all surprised if its results from doing so are even better than expected. If they are, the stock's recent weakness will look, in retrospect, like an even stronger buying opportunity.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":74,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9059847912,"gmtCreate":1654342615336,"gmtModify":1676535433919,"author":{"id":"3573299881996779","authorId":"3573299881996779","name":"CocoPosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2994528efd5659c489648d11451cddd5","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9059847912","repostId":"2240224327","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2240224327","pubTimestamp":1654326815,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2240224327?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-06-04 15:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Dividend Kings to Buy and Hold Forever","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2240224327","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These two healthcare companies have been around a long time.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Dividend stocks aren&#39;t just for investors looking for a reliable passive income stream.

Let&#39;s look at two Dividend Kings worth buying now and holding onto forever: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JNJ\">Johnson &amp; Johnson</a> and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ABT\">Abbott Laboratories</a>.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cfd827595e8b5437d430e2d2e862ebef\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>JNJ Total Return Level data by YCharts</p><h3>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JNJ\">Johnson &amp; Johnson</a></h3><p>Johnson &amp; Johnson has been a leader in the pharmaceutical industry for several decades. The company markets drugs in different therapeutic areas, including oncology, immunology, neuroscience, and infectious diseases. J&amp;J&#39;s largest therapeutic areas by revenue are oncology and immunology. These two fields are also the biggest and the fastest-growing in the pharmaceutical industry.</p><p>Spending on oncology medicines is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9% through 2025; immunology is expected to record a 12% CAGR in the same period. No other drug category is forecast to rise at a CAGR of more than 5%. Johnson &amp; Johnson has established leadership in these two fast-growing areas in the past thanks to cancer drugs such as Darzalex and Imbruvica, and immunosuppressants such as Stelara and Tremfya. Three of these medicines are still growing their sales.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cf9361a0405a1d461d99011e9bf16ca\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>In the first quarter, Stelara&#39;s revenue increased by 6.5% year over year to $2.3 billion, while Tremfya&#39;s sales jumped by 41.3% to $590 million. Meanwhile, Darzalex&#39;s sales increased by 36% to $1.9 billion; however, Imbruvica&#39;s revenue came in at roughly $1 billion, 7.7% lower than the year-ago period as a result of heightened competition. For the period, Johnson &amp; Johnson&#39;s total sales grew by 5% year over year to $23.4 billion.</p><p>The good news is that Johnson &amp; Johnson has a rich pipeline. And of the company&#39;s 94 ongoing clinical trials, 58 are either in oncology or immunology. Beyond its pharmaceutical segment, Johnson &amp; Johnson&#39;s medical devices unit also seems to have a bright future, thanks in part to its robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) product, Ottava. The RAS market remains severely underpenetrated. Only 3% of surgeries worldwide are performed using robot assistance.</p><p>Although there are strong competitors in this market, Johnson &amp; Johnson could profit from its growth in the coming years. It is worth noting that J&amp;J is shedding its consumer health business, which is home to famous over-the-counter brands such as Neutrogena, Tylenol, Benadryl, and more. The company will complete this transaction by the end of the year.</p><p>The move should help Johnson &amp; Johnson&#39;s top-line growth rate increase (consumer health is the least impressive of its segments in this regard) and decrease exposure to lawsuits related to products in this unit. J&amp;J&#39;s business will remain solid, and with 59 consecutive years of dividend increases under its belt, we can be sure that this healthcare giant will continue rewarding its shareholders for many years to come.</p><h3>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ABT\">Abbott Laboratories</a></h3><p>Abbott Laboratories is a medical devices specialist with dozens of products. It is also a veteran of the healthcare industry, having proven over the past few decades that it has what it takes to navigate the regulatory hoops required to be successful in this sector. Although Abbott is best-known for its medical devices business, it operates three other segments: Diagnostics, established pharmaceuticals, and nutrition.</p><p>Abbott was able to keep its revenue and earnings afloat amid the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic and as its medical devices unit was struggling. The company successfully developed and marketed several coronavirus diagnostic tests. That&#39;s one of the benefits of having a diversified business. Financial results continue to be good for Abbott Laboratories. In the first quarter, the company&#39;s sales jumped by 13.8% year over year to $11.9 billion.</p><p>Meanwhile, Abbott&#39;s adjusted earnings per share jumped by 31.1% year over year to $1.73.</p><p>One major area of growth for the company is diabetes care -- thanks to its continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system, the FreeStyle Libre. CGM devices allow diabetes patients to keep track of their blood glucose levels continuously throughout the day. The adoption of this technology continues to propel sales of the FreeStyle Libre higher. In the first quarter, Abbott&#39;s revenue from this device came in at about $1 billion, 20.4% higher than the year-ago period.</p><p>The FreeStyle Libre has gained about one million new users in the past year and currently boasts roughly four million users worldwide. With a rising population of diabetes patients, the need for innovative devices like the FreeStyle Libre will only rise in the coming years. Abbott does have other growth avenues, too, including its MitraClip, a leading device for the treatment of mitral regurgitation.</p><p>Abbott Laboratories is new to the club of Dividend Kings; it has raised its dividends for 50 consecutive years.

Consequently, the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> and <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> have backtracked 15% and 24% year to date, respectively, with no end to the negativism in sight.</p><p>Even big tech has struggled, with premier companies <b>Netflix </b>and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Meta Platforms</a></b> posting weaker-than-anticipated financial reports in recent quarters. The panic has sent investors swarming to value stocks and safer assets for protection, leaving the technology sector drowning in the red. But as long-term investors, this doesn&#39;t mean that we should completely ignore tech stocks for the time being.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/58efc5f5899a865afd71defde8137f91\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><p>In fact, there are several companies that continue to deliver strong financial results in spite of the challenges our current economy presents. One of those companies,<b> Apple</b>, is a world-beater that can provide investors with much-needed security in today&#39;s market environment. And since it&#39;s down almost 20% year to date, the technology juggernaut grants investors a handsome valuation at present levels.</p><h2>A resilient business</h2><p>In the past 12 quarters, Apple has beaten earnings estimates each time, and the company has only fallen short of Wall Street&#39;s revenue forecasts once. In the second quarter of 2022, the tech leader increased both total sales and earnings per share by 9% year over year, up to $97.3 billion and $1.52, respectively. While its product category -- which includes the iPhone, iPad, and Mac -- only grew a modest 7%, the company&#39;s services segment surged 17% to $19.8 billion.</p><p>For the full fiscal year 2022, analysts are forecasting Apple&#39;s top line to improve 8% to $394.2 billion and its earnings per share to increase 10% to $6.15. Investors should like where the iPhone maker is positioned today. Not only does its world-class core business offer stability on top of its persistent growth, but the company&#39;s services segment enjoys a long runway for expansion in the years ahead.</p><p>Fortunately for Apple and its shareholders, the company&#39;s elite balance sheet and cash generation will comfortably facilitate growth for the tech giant in the future. The company has $28.1 billion in cash on its balance sheet, and it continues to generate funds at a red-hot pace. In the past 12 months, Apple has produced $105.8 billion in free cash flow (FCF), and its three-year FCF compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is 13%. The company&#39;s robust balance sheet and consistent cash generation provide financial flexibility to increase its dividends, buy back shares, and grow its business in the years to follow.</p><h2>A normalized valuation</h2><p>The recent stock price pullback year to date has made Apple stock a very tempting buy. The stock carries a price-to-earnings multiple of 24 today, representing its lowest trading level since the early summer of 2020.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2ff26f227883e6475edef412754fe00f\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>AAPL PE Ratio data by YCharts</span></p><p>The tech company&#39;s current earnings multiple is also largely in line with its five-year historical average of 23.

Consequently, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite have backtracked 15% and 24% year to date, respectively, with no end to the negativism in sight.Even big tech has struggled, with premier companies Netflix and Meta Platforms posting weaker-than-anticipated financial reports in recent quarters. The panic has sent investors swarming to value stocks and safer assets for protection, leaving the technology sector drowning in the red. But as long-term investors, this doesn't mean that we should completely ignore tech stocks for the time being.Image source: Getty Images.In fact, there are several companies that continue to deliver strong financial results in spite of the challenges our current economy presents. One of those companies, Apple, is a world-beater that can provide investors with much-needed security in today's market environment. And since it's down almost 20% year to date, the technology juggernaut grants investors a handsome valuation at present levels.A resilient businessIn the past 12 quarters, Apple has beaten earnings estimates each time, and the company has only fallen short of Wall Street's revenue forecasts once. In the second quarter of 2022, the tech leader increased both total sales and earnings per share by 9% year over year, up to $97.3 billion and $1.52, respectively. While its product category -- which includes the iPhone, iPad, and Mac -- only grew a modest 7%, the company's services segment surged 17% to $19.8 billion.For the full fiscal year 2022, analysts are forecasting Apple's top line to improve 8% to $394.2 billion and its earnings per share to increase 10% to $6.15. Investors should like where the iPhone maker is positioned today. Not only does its world-class core business offer stability on top of its persistent growth, but the company's services segment enjoys a long runway for expansion in the years ahead.Fortunately for Apple and its shareholders, the company's elite balance sheet and cash generation will comfortably facilitate growth for the tech giant in the future. The company has $28.1 billion in cash on its balance sheet, and it continues to generate funds at a red-hot pace. In the past 12 months, Apple has produced $105.8 billion in free cash flow (FCF), and its three-year FCF compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is 13%. The company's robust balance sheet and consistent cash generation provide financial flexibility to increase its dividends, buy back shares, and grow its business in the years to follow.A normalized valuationThe recent stock price pullback year to date has made Apple stock a very tempting buy. The stock carries a price-to-earnings multiple of 24 today, representing its lowest trading level since the early summer of 2020.AAPL PE Ratio data by YChartsThe tech company's current earnings multiple is also largely in line with its five-year historical average of 23. But given that Apple has been able to maintain solid growth in recent quarters -- especially compared to the rest of big tech -- investors should be thrilled about buying the stock at existing levels.Apple is a good play on the turbulent stock market todayApple is a wise investment today -- the world-leading technology company continues to expand its business at a steady rate in an economy where many of its peers are suffering from growing pains.

At the same time, they are shunning <b>Netflix</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>NFLX</u></b>) and <b>Roku</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ROKU</u></b>). People moved on from the stay-at-home lifestyle of 2020 and 2021. This year, going out will include watching movies in a theatre. Does this mean AMC’s stock price will rise with the favorable trend?</p><p>Investors should dig into AMC’s latest quarterly report first. The company has several red flags that undermine the bullish thesis.</p><p>Meme Momentum for AMC Stock Fading</p><p>Meme investing tried, but failed several times to come back. Most recently, <b>GameStop</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GME</u></b>)double-bottomed at $80 in March and rose to over $180 to then fall back to $80. AMC stock also rallied to over $30 in that time. However, it recently closed at $11.81.</p><p>Meme investing is synonymous with momentum investing. The stock depended on buying momentum for the rallies. Those who sold into the rally profited the most. Anyone too slow to sell is largely holding losses. Fundamentals from its quarterly report are questionable.</p><p>Quarterly Loss Erasing Positive Sentiment<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c6000838f2fcb789c9c931d700244ed3\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"129\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>In the first quarter, AMC posted non-GAAP earnings per share loss of 52 cents. Revenue rose by 429.8% year-over-year to $785.7 million. Those figures suggest that AMC will need to sustain its revenue growth to achieve break-even profits. In the first quarter, AMC reported an attendance of 39,075,000 from average screens of 10,099.</p><p>At around 3,900 attendance per screen in the quarter, the theatre chain has a long way to go. This number seems too low for a company whose market capitalization is $6.72 billion. The bear market is especially damaging for technology stocks. Companies with a high price-to-sales ratio fell sharply from their peak.</p><p>In the chart above created by Stock Rover, AMC’s moving average convergence divergence is bearish. The faster-moving blue line crossed the slower-moving green line, which is a sell signal.</p><p>Shareholders who bought AMC stock in the last two years may zoom out of the stock chart. From late 2018 to Jan. 1, 2021, AMC shares could not break a downtrend. It traded at below $2.50 before Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets added AMC Entertainment to the meme stock craze.</p><p>Redditors picked GameStop as the highly shorted company to short-squeeze. They bought the stock to punish bears who bet against it. Bears correctly bet against AMC because it had high debt. It was losing viewers to movie companies releasing titles on streaming services.</p><p>Bail on AMC Stock Now</p><p>Though streaming stocks are down, their demand remains strong. Roku and Netflix are trading lower because they face higher competition. Revenue growth is slowing. Markets are unwilling to pay nose-bleeding valuations for them. Expect the price-to-earnings and price-to-sales multiples to fall for stocks. This will hurt AMC as investors switch by buying companies that post quarterly profits.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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 Stock: Why it’s Time to Bail Right Now</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 Stock: Why it’s Time to Bail Right Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-05-20 20:49 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2022/05/amc-stock-why-its-time-to-bail-right-now/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Meme momentum is fading rapidly for AMC Entertainment(AMC) and AMC stock.Positive sentiment alone accounted for AMC’s price rise.Investors should take this opportunity to bail from AMC now.Investors ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2022/05/amc-stock-why-its-time-to-bail-right-now/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMC":"AMC院线"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2022/05/amc-stock-why-its-time-to-bail-right-now/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1158790653","content_text":"Meme momentum is fading rapidly for AMC Entertainment(AMC) and AMC stock.Positive sentiment alone accounted for AMC’s price rise.Investors should take this opportunity to bail from AMC now.Investors may cite improving movie attendance as a reason to buy AMC Entertainment(NYSE:AMC) stock. At the same time, they are shunning Netflix(NASDAQ:NFLX) and Roku(NASDAQ:ROKU). People moved on from the stay-at-home lifestyle of 2020 and 2021. This year, going out will include watching movies in a theatre. Does this mean AMC’s stock price will rise with the favorable trend?Investors should dig into AMC’s latest quarterly report first. The company has several red flags that undermine the bullish thesis.Meme Momentum for AMC Stock FadingMeme investing tried, but failed several times to come back. Most recently, GameStop(NYSE:GME)double-bottomed at $80 in March and rose to over $180 to then fall back to $80. AMC stock also rallied to over $30 in that time. However, it recently closed at $11.81.Meme investing is synonymous with momentum investing. The stock depended on buying momentum for the rallies. Those who sold into the rally profited the most. Anyone too slow to sell is largely holding losses. Fundamentals from its quarterly report are questionable.Quarterly Loss Erasing Positive SentimentIn the first quarter, AMC posted non-GAAP earnings per share loss of 52 cents. Revenue rose by 429.8% year-over-year to $785.7 million. Those figures suggest that AMC will need to sustain its revenue growth to achieve break-even profits. In the first quarter, AMC reported an attendance of 39,075,000 from average screens of 10,099.At around 3,900 attendance per screen in the quarter, the theatre chain has a long way to go. This number seems too low for a company whose market capitalization is $6.72 billion. The bear market is especially damaging for technology stocks. Companies with a high price-to-sales ratio fell sharply from their peak.In the chart above created by Stock Rover, AMC’s moving average convergence divergence is bearish. The faster-moving blue line crossed the slower-moving green line, which is a sell signal.Shareholders who bought AMC stock in the last two years may zoom out of the stock chart. From late 2018 to Jan. 1, 2021, AMC shares could not break a downtrend. It traded at below $2.50 before Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets added AMC Entertainment to the meme stock craze.Redditors picked GameStop as the highly shorted company to short-squeeze. They bought the stock to punish bears who bet against it. Bears correctly bet against AMC because it had high debt. It was losing viewers to movie companies releasing titles on streaming services.Bail on AMC Stock NowThough streaming stocks are down, their demand remains strong. Roku and Netflix are trading lower because they face higher competition. Revenue growth is slowing. Markets are unwilling to pay nose-bleeding valuations for them. Expect the price-to-earnings and price-to-sales multiples to fall for stocks. This will hurt AMC as investors switch by buying companies that post quarterly profits.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":241,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9020425291,"gmtCreate":1652675304113,"gmtModify":1676535139494,"author":{"id":"3573299881996779","authorId":"3573299881996779","name":"CocoPosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2994528efd5659c489648d11451cddd5","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Okie 🤕&nbsp;","listText":"Okie 🤕&nbsp;","text":"Okie 🤕","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9020425291","repostId":"1105686192","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1105686192","pubTimestamp":1652656053,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1105686192?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-05-16 07:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Retail Sales, Walmart Earnings, More Fedspeak: What to Know This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105686192","media":"yahoo finance","summary":"The retail sector will be in focus this week after a string of wild trading sessions on Wall Street.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The retail sector will be in focus this week after a string of wild trading sessions on Wall Street.

Operating income growth of about 3% is expected, while e-commerce growth is expected to come in muted at about 1.9%, compared to 37% growth last year with more consumers shopping in physical stores amid a return to in-person activities.The seven largest stocks in the S&P 500 as of the index’s all-time high on January 3 lost a combined $3.2 trillion in market cap since that date, according to data from Bespoke Investment Group. While most have seen big declines, Walmart has been one of few gainers – up 2.35% year-to-date as of Friday’s close.Financials from other big retail names including Home Depot (HD), Target (TGT), Lowe's (LOW) and Macy's (M) are also on the calendar.Elsewhere in a busy week for retail numbers, the Commerce Department’s monthly retail sales report for April set for release Tuesday is expected to show retail sales likely increased 1.0% last month compared to 0.5% in March, with the headline number excluding autos estimated to come in up 0.4%, compared to 1.1 during the prior month, per Bloomberg consensus data.“There was a big sequential contraction in gas spending as prices leveled off from record high levels in March, which weighed down headline and excluding-auto measures,” Bank of America analysts wrote in a recent note. “Netting out auto, gas, building materials and restaurants, core control sales should jump by solidly, suggesting continued strength in goods

The CEO and co-founder of ARK Invest was buying stocks on Thursday during the market deluge. She&#39;s had a rough run since a highly rewarding 2020 for her family of exchange-traded funds (<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PSFF\">Pacer Swan SOS Fund of Funds ETF|ETF</a>s). You have to respect someone that&#39;s still looking to buy falling growth stocks when the market is at its worst.</p><p>What was she buying this time? Wood added to her existing stakes in <b>Shopify</b>, <b>Roku</b>, and <b>Sea Limited</b> on Thursday. Let&#39;s see what she may be seeing in these former market darlings that have fallen on hard times.</p><h2>Shopify</h2><p>Announcing a stock split doesn&#39;t guarantee that a stock will pop. Shares of Shopify plummeted 37% last month, despite announcing plans for a 10-for-1 split. Like many high-profile growth stocks, shares of the popular e-commerce platform provider have had a rough run in the market.</p><p>April was bad, and May isn&#39;t shaping up to be any better. The stock plummeted 15% on Thursday after a disappointing financial report. Revenue decelerated through the first three months of this year, clocking in with a mere 22% year-over-year advance. Rising costs obliterated the bottom line; earnings came in 71% below what analysts were targeting.</p><p>The tailwinds that helped Shopify deliver jaw-dropping growth until recently weren&#39;t going to last forever. However, this week&#39;s surprising shortfall on both ends of the income statement is both problematic and opportunistic. The financial update wasn&#39;t encouraging, but the stock now finds itself 77% below where it was at its November peak. The forward-thinking e-commerce solution that lets merchants of all sizes easily sell their wares across emerging social media platforms and their own digital storefront hasn&#39;t lost its relevancy. Shopify should recover from this setback.</p><h2>Roku</h2><p>Another company that has shed nearly 80% of its peak value but is still growing is Roku. The pioneer of video streaming on TV is a leading in an expanding niche. There were 61.3 million homes leaning on Roku by the end of March, and these are <i>active</i> accounts in every sense of the term. The average account is streaming nearly 3.8 hours a day on the platform.</p><p>We&#39;ve seen Roku&#39;s audience and total hours streamed grow 14% over the past year, silencing bearish arguments that folks will turn off their TVs and enjoy the great outdoors as the COVID-19 landscape improves following the vaccinations introduced last year. Advertisers also know that Roku consumers are worth reaching. Average revenue per user is up 34% over the past year.</p><p>Supply chain issues have slowed the production of its dongles, but Roku has enough deals in place with smart TV manufacturers to be the factory installed operating system of choice for many leading brands. After breaking through with a profit last year, analysts don&#39;t see a return to positive net income until 2024. It&#39;s not an ideal situation, but as long as Roku&#39;s audience keeps growing -- and those cradling the Roku remote controls keep watching -- the stock should eventually get back on track.</p><h2>Sea Limited</h2><p>Some companies are lucky to dominate <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> niche, but Sea Limited is a giant in three important industries. The Singapore-based speedster is a major player in e-commerce, online gaming, and fintech.</p><p>It&#39;s not firing on all cylinders right now. It sees direct entertainment bookings -- basically its gaming arm -- declining sharply this year. It&#39;s been a challenging year for the online gaming market, particularly in Asia. However, its now larger e-commerce segment is expected to see its revenue soar 76%. Its smaller fintech division is expected to see its top line climb 155% this year.</p><p>Growth will slow at Sea Limited this year from the 106% year-over-year burst it posted the last time it reported quarterly results. Sea Limited will have a financial update in two weeks. Analysts see revenue growth slowing to a 37% clip this year and a 35% pace in 2023, but that&#39;s still respectable for a company of Sea Limited&#39;s size.</p><p>Shopify, Roku, and Sea Limited have all seen their shares fall by at least 77% since peaking last year. Yet they continue to be strong growth stocks, delivering healthy year-over-year growth right now.

Consider This \"Time Arbitrage\" Move","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1185894444","media":"Barron's","summary":"It will soon be truth or consequences time on Wall Street.Many of the world’s most important compani","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>It will soon be truth or consequences time on Wall Street.</p><p>Many of the world’s most important companies are about to start reporting quarterly earnings, providing investors with an opportunity to compare their estimates of reality with data and commentary from sophisticated corporate practitioners.</p><p>Whatever can be said about what happens next in the financial markets, one thing is clear: Many investors remain confused. The Federal Reserve and other central banks have begun to raise interest rates, bringing about the end of two decades of easy-money policies that supported stocks and the economy. Earnings reports should give investors insight into what comes next.</p><p>The trend, in short, may no longer be your friend, and in such times, it is helpful to have an investing framework. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon recently provided one in his annual letter to shareholders.</p><p>Dimon warned of the unprecedented risks facing the U.S. economy, ranging from persistent inflation, rising rates, the Covid-19 pandemic, and even the potential reordering of the world order. But he also offered some insight into the basic principles and strategies that he used to build his bank.</p><p>“We strive to build enduring businesses, and we are not a conglomerate—all our businesses rely on and benefit from each other. Both of these factors help generate our superior returns,” Dimon wrote, offering investors a useful way to evaluate companies that are well run—and potentially worthy of long-term investments.</p><p>Investors who are intrigued by this can take advantage of a strategy that we have long called “time arbitrage.” By selling short-term options on stocks that they can hold for a minimum of three to five years, investors can use present-day concerns to position to buy stocks that they are willing to warehouse.</p><p>The challenge, now and always, is to think like a thematic, long-term investor even when market conditions and cross currents are disquieting.</p><p>Consider <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla</a>. The electric-vehicle maker recently reported better-than-expected sales data. If last year’s date is indicative, the company will report earnings in late April. To preposition, investors could consider selling Tesla’s put options to potentially buy the stock on weakness.</p><p>With Tesla’s stock at $1,045.76, investors could sell the May $900 put for about $31. The put sale positions them to buy the stock at $900. Should the stock be above $900 at expiration, investors can keep the options premium.</p><p>The great risk is that the stock falls far below the put price, obligating investors to cover the put or to make adjustments to it in the options market to avoid assignment.</p><p>During the past 52 weeks, the stock has ranged from $546.98 to $1,243.49. The company recently announced plans for a stock split “in the form of a stock dividend.” Tesla issued a 5-for-1 stock split in August 2020, but offered no details on the impending corporate action.</p><p>The world is increasingly realizing electric vehicles are the future. The recent surge in oil and gasoline prices has probably accelerated this trend.</p><p>Tesla pioneered the industry’s birth.

The Federal Reserve and other central banks have begun to raise interest rates, bringing about the end of two decades of easy-money policies that supported stocks and the economy. Earnings reports should give investors insight into what comes next.The trend, in short, may no longer be your friend, and in such times, it is helpful to have an investing framework. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon recently provided one in his annual letter to shareholders.Dimon warned of the unprecedented risks facing the U.S. economy, ranging from persistent inflation, rising rates, the Covid-19 pandemic, and even the potential reordering of the world order. But he also offered some insight into the basic principles and strategies that he used to build his bank.“We strive to build enduring businesses, and we are not a conglomerate—all our businesses rely on and benefit from each other. Both of these factors help generate our superior returns,” Dimon wrote, offering investors a useful way to evaluate companies that are well run—and potentially worthy of long-term investments.Investors who are intrigued by this can take advantage of a strategy that we have long called “time arbitrage.” By selling short-term options on stocks that they can hold for a minimum of three to five years, investors can use present-day concerns to position to buy stocks that they are willing to warehouse.The challenge, now and always, is to think like a thematic, long-term investor even when market conditions and cross currents are disquieting.Consider Tesla. The electric-vehicle maker recently reported better-than-expected sales data. If last year’s date is indicative, the company will report earnings in late April. To preposition, investors could consider selling Tesla’s put options to potentially buy the stock on weakness.With Tesla’s stock at $1,045.76, investors could sell the May $900 put for about $31. The put sale positions them to buy the stock at $900. Should the stock be above $900 at expiration, investors can keep the options premium.The great risk is that the stock falls far below the put price, obligating investors to cover the put or to make adjustments to it in the options market to avoid assignment.During the past 52 weeks, the stock has ranged from $546.98 to $1,243.49. The company recently announced plans for a stock split “in the form of a stock dividend.” Tesla issued a 5-for-1 stock split in August 2020, but offered no details on the impending corporate action.The world is increasingly realizing electric vehicles are the future. The recent surge in oil and gasoline prices has probably accelerated this trend.Tesla pioneered the industry’s birth. The competitive moat might be narrowing as electric vehicles become more accepted, but Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk has a mind of great singularity. He has seen the future. The short-term options trade outlined above is a way to monetize a long-term theme that will probably outlast economic and financial fluctuations.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":100,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9013504811,"gmtCreate":1648741165946,"gmtModify":1676534389746,"author":{"id":"3573299881996779","authorId":"3573299881996779","name":"CocoPosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2994528efd5659c489648d11451cddd5","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9013504811","repostId":"2223033801","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2223033801","pubTimestamp":1648709994,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2223033801?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-03-31 14:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Smartest Stocks to Buy With $300 on the Dip","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2223033801","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"A stock market correction is the perfect time for investors to buy high-quality companies at a discount.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Investing in the stock market has been a bit of an adventure in 2022.

To begin with, they believe the company has enjoyed a pandemic-related benefit and its growth will slow dramatically when we exit the pandemic. Second, skeptics are concerned about Teladoc&#39;s back-to-back years of larger-than-expected losses following the pricey acquisition of Livongo Health. While I understand where this opposing view is coming from, neither of these headwinds has legs to stand on.</p><p>Although Teladoc did benefit nicely during the initial stages of the pandemic, investors need to recognize that this shift to virtual visit healthcare platforms began well before 2020. In the six years leading up to the pandemic, Teladoc&#39;s sales grew by an average annual rate of 74%! That&#39;s not a fluke. It&#39;s a sign that the way personalized care is administered in the U.S. is changing.</p><p>Telehealth is a win for all parties up and down the healthcare treatment chain. It&#39;s often more convenient for patients to connect with physicians from their homes, while virtual visits allow physicians to keep better tabs on chronically ill patients. The end result should be improved patient outcomes and less money out of the pockets of health insurers.</p><p>As for Teladoc&#39;s larger losses, these should be a thing of the past. With Livongo&#39;s integration costs and stock-based compensation expected to decline significantly in 2022, the company has a pretty clear path to profitability by 2024, if not sooner.</p><p>Furthermore, don&#39;t overlook the importance of Teladoc and Livongo being able to cross-sell on each other&#39;s platforms. Though the Livongo deal was pricey in hindsight, it&#39;s going to fuel sustainable sales growth of 20% to 30% throughout the decade. This makes the nearly 80% retracement in Teladoc&#39;s shares since February 2021 an ideal buying opportunity.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F672138%2F5g-wireless-network-circuit-telecom-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>Qorvo</h2><p>Another smart stock that&#39;s begging to be bought with $300 is semiconductor solutions company <b>Qorvo</b>. Shares have retraced by roughly 35% over the past nine months, which doesn&#39;t make much sense given how well Qorvo has been executing.</p><p>There are three core catalysts that should have investors excited about the discount they can nab on Qorvo right now.</p><p>To start with, it should be a prime beneficiary of the 5G wireless revolution. It&#39;s been about a decade since wireless download speeds were meaningfully improved. Upgrading 5G wireless infrastructure should encourage a steady device replacement cycle that lasts for years. Qorvo is responsible for providing a variety of connectivity solutions used in next-generation smartphones. Thus, the more smartphones that are manufactured and sold, the more opportunity the company has to get its solutions into 5G-capable devices.</p><p>The second catalyst, which effectively builds on the first, is Qorvo&#39;s tight-knit relationship with <b>Apple</b>. Last year, Apple was responsible for approximately 30% of Qorvo&#39;s annual sales.  There may not be a company in the world with a more loyal customer base than Apple, meaning the 5G-capable iPhone, and its many variations, should continue to drive revenue and profit growth for Qorvo.</p><p>The third upside impetus is the company&#39;s ancillary revenue opportunities outside of smartphones. For instance, Qorvo provides advanced antennas that allow next-gen automobiles to connect to the cloud. While these ancillary revenue streams take a back seat to smartphones in terms of total sales, they&#39;ll likely be a faster growth opportunity throughout the decade.</p><p>With Qorvo offering low double-digit sales growth and a forward-year price-to-earnings ratio of just 10, it looks to be a perfect blend of growth and value.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F672138%2Fwoman-talk-smartphone-city-wireless-5g-4g-data-voicemail-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>AT&amp;T</h2><p>For you value investors, telecom stock <b>AT&amp;T</b> might just be one of the smartest places to put $300 to work right now. Shares of the widely followed company have retraced by 30% since hitting a 52-week high back in May 2021.</p><p>The big knock against AT&amp;T in recent years has been its lack of growth and the high debt levels that have somewhat constrained its financial flexibility. The good news is AT&amp;T has a way to address both of these concerns in the coming years.</p><p>To echo what was said about Qorvo, AT&amp;T should notably benefit from the ongoing rollout of 5G wireless infrastructure. Even though it&#39;ll be costly and time-consuming for AT&amp;T to upgrade its network, faster download speeds will encourage the company&#39;s wireless subscribers to use more data. Since data consumption drives the company&#39;s juicy wireless margin, it&#39;s a no-brainer way to boost its organic growth rate.</p><p>The other significant growth catalyst for AT&amp;T is the coming spin-off of its content arm, WarnerMedia, and the subsequent merging of WarnerMedia with <b>Discovery</b> to create a new media entity. This new company, WarnerMedia-Discovery (no points awarded for originality), should recognize more than $3 billion in annual cost savings and have in the neighborhood of 94 million streaming customers (on a pro forma basis).</p><p>Following the spinoff, AT&amp;T will be focused on debt reduction. Even though its dividend will be slightly more than halved in order to reduce cash outflow and pay down debt, the company will maintain its high-yield status. This superior yield can come in especially handy in a high-inflation environment.</p><p>Compared to Teladoc and Qorvo, AT&amp;T is a turtle on the growth front. But its telecom and media operations are highly profitable and very predictable from a cash flow perspective. This makes AT&amp;T&#39;s shares an absolute steal at less than 8 times forecast earnings for 2022.</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>The Smartest Stocks to Buy With $300 on the Dip</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\">\nThe Smartest Stocks to Buy With $300 on the Dip\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-03-31 14:59 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/03/30/the-smartest-stocks-to-buy-with-300-on-the-dip/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Investing in the stock market has been a bit of an adventure in 2022.

The good news is AT&T has a way to address both of these concerns in the coming years.To echo what was said about Qorvo, AT&T should notably benefit from the ongoing rollout of 5G wireless infrastructure. Even though it'll be costly and time-consuming for AT&T to upgrade its network, faster download speeds will encourage the company's wireless subscribers to use more data. Since data consumption drives the company's juicy wireless margin, it's a no-brainer way to boost its organic growth rate.The other significant growth catalyst for AT&T is the coming spin-off of its content arm, WarnerMedia, and the subsequent merging of WarnerMedia with Discovery to create a new media entity. This new company, WarnerMedia-Discovery (no points awarded for originality), should recognize more than $3 billion in annual cost savings and have in the neighborhood of 94 million streaming customers (on a pro forma basis).Following the spinoff, AT&T will be focused on debt reduction. Even though its dividend will be slightly more than halved in order to reduce cash outflow and pay down debt, the company will maintain its high-yield status. This superior yield can come in especially handy in a high-inflation environment.Compared to Teladoc and Qorvo, AT&T is a turtle on the growth front. But its telecom and media operations are highly profitable and very predictable from a cash flow perspective. This makes AT&T's shares an absolute steal at less than 8 times forecast earnings for 2022.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":120,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9010269643,"gmtCreate":1648397424744,"gmtModify":1676534333883,"author":{"id":"3573299881996779","authorId":"3573299881996779","name":"CocoPosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2994528efd5659c489648d11451cddd5","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9010269643","repostId":"1191611475","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1191611475","pubTimestamp":1648341534,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1191611475?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-03-27 08:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"SoFi Stock Bulls Can Rejoice as a Great Catalyst Is Coming Up","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1191611475","media":"investorplace","summary":"SoFi’s (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock has been declining, and it’s not surprising.

(NASDAQ:AAPL) was reported to be considering a hardware subscription service for its suite of products. So naturally, the attention is on its flagship iPhone segment. Nevertheless, nothing has been confirmed, and plans could continue to be developed or even stalled.</p><p>However, we believe it could mark a significant pivot in Apple&#39;s strategy to reach further into Android&#39;s (GOOGL) (GOOG) installed base. Apple&#39;s 5G launches starting with iPhone 12, have seen tremendous success in the US and China. Furthermore, iPhone 13 has continued its massive momentum. Recent supply chain checks also revealed that it&#39;s trending ahead of estimates, despite the transitory shutdown by its key contract manufacturer Foxconn (OTCPK:HNHAF).</p><p>We discuss why hardware/iPhone subscriptions could be a massive game-changer. We also maintain our Buy rating on AAPL stock. But, we noted a robust recovery from its March bottom, and its price action doesn&#39;t seem ideal to add exposure.</p><p>Therefore, if you are not in a rush, you can consider waiting for the recent spike to be digested first before adding.</p><p><b>AAPL Stock Key Metrics</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/612265ffa4b9faeeddd47fdd0766fca4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>AAPL stock NTM EBIT valuation (TIKR)</span></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee1dbf8a24918fcadf0b82caff8e4270\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>AAPL stock consensus price targets Vs. stock performance (TIKR)</span></p><p></p><p>AAPL stock&#39;s NTM EBIT multiple of 22.9x is trading ahead of its 3Y NTM EBIT mean of 20.2x. So, AAPL stock has moved away from the 20x multiple that has supported its stock over the past year.</p><p>Furthermore, the stock has also progressed well ahead of its most conservative price targets ((PTs)) as seen above. Its most conservative PTs have been robust support levels for AAPL stock over time. Therefore, we think the current buy zone is not ideal if you are looking to add exposure. But, if you are not concerned with near-term volatility, its stock is still not significantly overvalued.</p><p>Furthermore, we believe that Apple holds several optionalities that could spur the Street to re-rate its stock. These include its Apple Car project, its burgeoning services segment, and its rapidly growing ad business.</p><h2>Why Apple&#39;s iPhone Subscriptions Could Be A Game-Changer</h2><p>Bloomberg reported that Apple is mulling a subscription service for its hardware, including its iconic iPhone. Therefore, subscribers would only need to pay a monthly fee. Apple would manage the program through a subscriber&#39;s Apple account, similar to how they have subscribed to other Apple services.</p><p>Notably, it&#39;s different from its current installment programs. Bloomberg noted (edited): &#34;The monthly charge wouldn&#39;t be the price of the device split across 12 or 24 months. Rather, it would be a yet-to-be-determined monthly fee that depends on which device the user chooses.&#34;</p><p>We believe that this could be a noteworthy development in Apple&#39;s services strategy. Apple has been moving ahead with monetizing its massive hardware active installed base that has exceeded 1.65B. Of these, it reported that 785M have signed up as subscribers for its suite of services in FQ1&#39;22 (CQ4&#39;21).</p><p>Apple&#39;s premium smartphone leadership has undoubtedly helped it extend its lead in its segment. For example, Counterpoint Research pointed out that Apple has continued to expand its premium segment market share in China. It accentuated thatApple captured 63.5% in the premium segment share in 2021, compared to 55.4% in 2020. Therefore, Apple has capitalized on Huawei&#39;s demise with incredible &#34;ruthlessness,&#34; despite the best efforts from its Chinese smartphone rivals.</p><p>However, according to StatCounter, Android remains the most important mobile OS globally, with adevice share of 71%. Therefore, it&#39;s clear that most users are still equipped with much cheaper Android phones, and Apple has yet to penetrate this segment.</p><p>While the $429 iPhone SE 5G holds promise, the Street has projected just about 30M units this year. Furthermore, DIGITIMES also reported thatApple shipped about 25M to 30M unitsof its previous iPhone SE in 2020 in its first year of release. Moreover, Counterpoint Research also highlighted that it accounted for about &#34;12% of Apple&#39;s total iPhone unit salesfrom its launch in Q2 2020 to Q4 2021 - with Japan and US the biggest markets for the device globally.&#34;</p><p>Therefore, if Apple wants to make its mark in the low to mid-segment and gain share against Android, a subscription service makes tremendous sense. China&#39;s 5G smartphone penetration rate has already reached about 80%. But, the opportunities in the rest of Asia and Europe could offer Apple tremendous potential. Notably, Apple needs to make its iPhone more affordable without impinging on its treasured margins. Bloomberg&#39;s Mark Gurman even suggested that Apple launch a $199 iPhone SE 5G to penetrate the low to mid-tier segment more effectively before its Peek Performance event in March. He emphasized (edited):</p><blockquote><i>A device priced at $200 could make inroads in regions like Africa, South America, and parts of Asia that are currently Android strongholds</i>.</blockquote><blockquote>That would let Apple<i>sign up more customers for services</i>, potentially making a low-end iPhone quite lucrative for Apple in the long run. But so far, the company has steered well clear of that approach.</blockquote><blockquote>In 2013, when carrier subsidies began to disappear and demand for a lower-cost iPhone grew, Apple executives said they wouldn&#39;t release a cheap model just to blindly chase market share. It did put out the lower-end SE in 2016, but the phone was $399-well above the level of many Androids-and the price never came down over the following five years.<i>The company has stuck by Steve Jobs&#39; &#39;don&#39;t ship junk&#39; ethos.</i>-Bloomberg</blockquote><p>Furthermore, the 5G upgrade cycle is still in its early stages and gaining rapid adoption. Counterpoint Research also highlighted in a recent note thatglobal 5G smartphone penetrationsurpassed 4G for the first time in January 2022.</p><p>Therefore, there&#39;s a considerable opportunity for Apple to leverage this 5G wave to encourage switchers from Android to iOS.

(NASDAQ:AAPL) was reported to be considering a hardware subscription service for its suite of products. So naturally, the attention is on its flagship iPhone segment. Nevertheless, nothing has been confirmed, and plans could continue to be developed or even stalled.However, we believe it could mark a significant pivot in Apple's strategy to reach further into Android's (GOOGL) (GOOG) installed base. Apple's 5G launches starting with iPhone 12, have seen tremendous success in the US and China. Furthermore, iPhone 13 has continued its massive momentum. Recent supply chain checks also revealed that it's trending ahead of estimates, despite the transitory shutdown by its key contract manufacturer Foxconn (OTCPK:HNHAF).We discuss why hardware/iPhone subscriptions could be a massive game-changer. We also maintain our Buy rating on AAPL stock. But, we noted a robust recovery from its March bottom, and its price action doesn't seem ideal to add exposure.Therefore, if you are not in a rush, you can consider waiting for the recent spike to be digested first before adding.AAPL Stock Key MetricsAAPL stock NTM EBIT valuation (TIKR)AAPL stock consensus price targets Vs. stock performance (TIKR)AAPL stock's NTM EBIT multiple of 22.9x is trading ahead of its 3Y NTM EBIT mean of 20.2x. So, AAPL stock has moved away from the 20x multiple that has supported its stock over the past year.Furthermore, the stock has also progressed well ahead of its most conservative price targets ((PTs)) as seen above. Its most conservative PTs have been robust support levels for AAPL stock over time. Therefore, we think the current buy zone is not ideal if you are looking to add exposure. But, if you are not concerned with near-term volatility, its stock is still not significantly overvalued.Furthermore, we believe that Apple holds several optionalities that could spur the Street to re-rate its stock. These include its Apple Car project, its burgeoning services segment, and its rapidly growing ad business.Why Apple's iPhone Subscriptions Could Be A Game-ChangerBloomberg reported that Apple is mulling a subscription service for its hardware, including its iconic iPhone. Therefore, subscribers would only need to pay a monthly fee. Apple would manage the program through a subscriber's Apple account, similar to how they have subscribed to other Apple services.Notably, it's different from its current installment programs. Bloomberg noted (edited): \"The monthly charge wouldn't be the price of the device split across 12 or 24 months. Rather, it would be a yet-to-be-determined monthly fee that depends on which device the user chooses.\"We believe that this could be a noteworthy development in Apple's services strategy. Apple has been moving ahead with monetizing its massive hardware active installed base that has exceeded 1.65B. Of these, it reported that 785M have signed up as subscribers for its suite of services in FQ1'22 (CQ4'21).Apple's premium smartphone leadership has undoubtedly helped it extend its lead in its segment. For example, Counterpoint Research pointed out that Apple has continued to expand its premium segment market share in China. It accentuated thatApple captured 63.5% in the premium segment share in 2021, compared to 55.4% in 2020. Therefore, Apple has capitalized on Huawei's demise with incredible \"ruthlessness,\" despite the best efforts from its Chinese smartphone rivals.However, according to StatCounter, Android remains the most important mobile OS globally, with adevice share of 71%. Therefore, it's clear that most users are still equipped with much cheaper Android phones, and Apple has yet to penetrate this segment.While the $429 iPhone SE 5G holds promise, the Street has projected just about 30M units this year. Furthermore, DIGITIMES also reported thatApple shipped about 25M to 30M unitsof its previous iPhone SE in 2020 in its first year of release. Moreover, Counterpoint Research also highlighted that it accounted for about \"12% of Apple's total iPhone unit salesfrom its launch in Q2 2020 to Q4 2021 - with Japan and US the biggest markets for the device globally.\"Therefore, if Apple wants to make its mark in the low to mid-segment and gain share against Android, a subscription service makes tremendous sense. China's 5G smartphone penetration rate has already reached about 80%. But, the opportunities in the rest of Asia and Europe could offer Apple tremendous potential. Notably, Apple needs to make its iPhone more affordable without impinging on its treasured margins. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman even suggested that Apple launch a $199 iPhone SE 5G to penetrate the low to mid-tier segment more effectively before its Peek Performance event in March. He emphasized (edited):A device priced at $200 could make inroads in regions like Africa, South America, and parts of Asia that are currently Android strongholds.That would let Applesign up more customers for services, potentially making a low-end iPhone quite lucrative for Apple in the long run. But so far, the company has steered well clear of that approach.In 2013, when carrier subsidies began to disappear and demand for a lower-cost iPhone grew, Apple executives said they wouldn't release a cheap model just to blindly chase market share. It did put out the lower-end SE in 2016, but the phone was $399-well above the level of many Androids-and the price never came down over the following five years.The company has stuck by Steve Jobs' 'don't ship junk' ethos.-BloombergFurthermore, the 5G upgrade cycle is still in its early stages and gaining rapid adoption. Counterpoint Research also highlighted in a recent note thatglobal 5G smartphone penetrationsurpassed 4G for the first time in January 2022.Therefore, there's a considerable opportunity for Apple to leverage this 5G wave to encourage switchers from Android to iOS. Hence, we believe a hardware subscription strategy could be massive for the Cupertino company to spur the adoption of its 5G devices.We believe that Apple can continue innovating and introducing effective ideas to capture the segment Android has traditionally dominated without necessarily sacrificing its brand value and margins.Is AAPL Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?AAPL stock is slightly overvalued, but not by much. Therefore, if you need a higher margin of safety, you can consider taking a 10-15% haircut.Otherwise, if you have a firm conviction of Apple's execution ability, the current price could offer a suitable opportunity to increase exposure.Furthermore, we think Apple has several optionalities that have not been factored into its stock price. And the potential hardware subscription strategy adds to its growing list of monetization potential.As such, we reiterate our Buy rating on AAPL stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":443,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9010926448,"gmtCreate":1648249120828,"gmtModify":1676534320562,"author":{"id":"3573299881996779","authorId":"3573299881996779","name":"CocoPosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2994528efd5659c489648d11451cddd5","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Smile]&nbsp;.","listText":"[Smile]&nbsp;.","text":"[Smile] .","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9010926448","repostId":"1196994532","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1196994532","pubTimestamp":1648218129,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1196994532?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-03-25 22:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. Pending Home Sales Post Fourth Straight Monthly Decline in February","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1196994532","media":"Reuters","summary":"Contracts to buy U.S. previously owned homes dropped for a fourth straight month in February, weighe","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Contracts to buy U.S. previously owned homes dropped for a fourth straight month in February, weighed down by a persistent shortage of properties, and activity could remain sluggish amid increasing mortgage rates and high house prices.</p><p>The National Association of Realtors (NAR) said on Friday its Pending Home Sales Index, based on signed contracts, fell 4.1% last month to 104.9.

The median estimate called for no change in a Bloomberg survey of economists.A gauge of current conditions decreased to 67.2 from 67.8 earlier in the month. The survey’s measure of future expectations was little changed at the lowest since 2011.Consumers still expect inflation to rise 5.4% over the next year. They expect prices will increase at an annual rate of 3% over the next five to 10 years, unchanged from February. While still above the Federal Reserve’s target rate, it may offer some comfort to the central bank that long-term expectations remain anchored.Americans are facing decades-high inflation, prompting the Fed to raise rates for the first time since 2018 last week. Price pressures, which are outpacing wage gains, have only worsened as Russia’s war in Ukraine enters its second month, driving up the cost of staples like food and gasoline.About a third of consumers expect their overall financial position to worsen in the year ahead, the highest recorded level since the survey began in the mid 1940s, the report said. Furthermore, more consumers mentioned reduced living standards due to rising inflation than any other time except during the recessions seen in the late 1970s and 2008.Many economists worry about how inflation will affect consumer spending as Americans are left with less discretionary income, with buying attitudes at record lows. That presents a risk to economic growth, and several forecasters have already lowered their expectations. Inflation-adjusted consumer spending data for February will be released next week.From a political perspective, Republicans report a much higher awareness of inflation. When asked how their finances have recently changed, half of Republicans mention inflation compared to 19% of Democrats.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":177,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9037581068,"gmtCreate":1648136895380,"gmtModify":1676534308590,"author":{"id":"3573299881996779","authorId":"3573299881996779","name":"CocoPosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2994528efd5659c489648d11451cddd5","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9037581068","repostId":"2221079378","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2221079378","pubTimestamp":1648134042,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2221079378?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-03-24 23:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"4 Stocks That Turned $10,000 Into $21,000 (or More)","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2221079378","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"It took only a year for these four companies to at least double such an investment.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>If you really wanted to make money over the past year, buying oil stocks was the way to go as rampant inflation sent gas prices soaring.

The market knew the move was coming, but what came as a surprise was the Fed&#39;s more hawkish outlook, indicating that it expects to make similarly sized rate hikes at each of its next six meetings in 2022. Then it&#39;s planning another four hikes in 2023 for a total of 11 hikes in two years.</p><p>Most banks, which tend to benefit from a little bit of inflation and rising interest rates so long as they don&#39;t push the economy into a recession, had been penciling in fewer hikes this year. While bank stock prices had definitely factored in the benefit from rate hikes to a certain extent, more rate hikes than projected this year also means there is the potential for banks to generate higher revenue and profits in 2022. Here are three bank stocks to buy.</p><p><b>1. Bank of America</b></p><p>One of the main moneymakers for most banks is net interest income(NII), the profit that banks make mostly on loans and securities after covering the cost of funding those assets. Rate hikes help NII because many yields on loans rise along with the federal funds rate.<b>Bank of America</b> is incredibly asset sensitive because of its large commercial loan base, which encompasses many floating-rate loans that adjust higher with the federal funds rate, and its multi-trillion dollar deposit base.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/03831b8d910718918ec11dfd8192ab29\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1333\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><p>In its 2021 annual filing, which came out in late February, Bank of America only expected the federal funds rate to be at 1% at the end of 2022. Seven rate hikes in total this year would put it around 1.75%. Management doesn&#39;t provide guidance on full-year expected NII, but if six more hikes materialize, expect NII -- and therefore total revenue -- to surpass initial projections, barring a recession that doesn&#39;t stunt projected loan growth. Chief Financial Officer Alastair Borthwick noted on the company&#39;s latest earnings call that the bank&#39;s balance sheet has grown considerably in recent years and that the bank is twice as sensitive to the federal funds rate than it was in 2015 when the last rate cycle began.</p><p>Furthermore, Bank of America has greatly improved its deposit base. Deposit costs go up along with the federal funds rate, so the banks that can bring in low-cost, sticky deposits can increase their margins the most. Longtime bank analyst Mike Mayo of Wells Fargo pointed out in a recent research note that roughly half of Bank of America&#39;s $2 trillion deposits are low-cost retail deposits from sources like checking accounts. He doesn&#39;t expect the rates on those to increase much through the first four or five rate hikes.

Comerica</b></p><p>Based in Dallas with nearly $97 billion in assets,<b>Comerica Incorporated</b> is one of the most rate-sensitive banks in the industry.

Furthermore, Comerica has high levels of cash right now, which it will earn a lot more yield on as rates go up by leaving them with the Fed or investing in securities, which will also see their yields rise along with the federal funds rate.

The bank&#39;s overall securities book in the fourth quarter of 2021 had a yield of 1.04%. Silvergate has another roughly $5.4 billion sitting in cash.

The stock also does to some extent move with the price of Bitcoin and deposit flows may be influenced by crypto trading levels. But in its annual report, Silvergate estimated that a 1% move higher in the federal funds rate would generate an additional nearly 60% of NII over the next year. That&#39;s simply astonishing, but keep in mind that it&#39;s still just a projection -- and investors will all be waiting to see if, in fact, the Fed raises rates six more times this year.</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>With Six More Rate Hikes Planned for 2022, Here Are 3 Bank Stocks to Buy</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\">\nWith Six More Rate Hikes Planned for 2022, Here Are 3 Bank Stocks to Buy\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-03-20 10:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/03/19/with-six-more-rate-hikes-planned-in-2022-here-are/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSThe Federal Reserve recently raised its benchmark overnight lending rate for the first time since 2018.The Fed also indicated it plans to raise the federal funds rate at each of its next six...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/03/19/with-six-more-rate-hikes-planned-in-2022-here-are/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"CMA":"联信银行","BAC":"美国银行"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/03/19/with-six-more-rate-hikes-planned-in-2022-here-are/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1143890912","content_text":"KEY POINTSThe Federal Reserve recently raised its benchmark overnight lending rate for the first time since 2018.The Fed also indicated it plans to raise the federal funds rate at each of its next six meetings.This could lead to higher profits and revenue than many banks had expected this year.After months of anticipation, the Federal Reserve at its meeting earlier this month raised its benchmark overnight lending, the federal funds rate, by 25 basis points (0.25%). The market knew the move was coming, but what came as a surprise was the Fed's more hawkish outlook, indicating that it expects to make similarly sized rate hikes at each of its next six meetings in 2022. Then it's planning another four hikes in 2023 for a total of 11 hikes in two years.Most banks, which tend to benefit from a little bit of inflation and rising interest rates so long as they don't push the economy into a recession, had been penciling in fewer hikes this year. While bank stock prices had definitely factored in the benefit from rate hikes to a certain extent, more rate hikes than projected this year also means there is the potential for banks to generate higher revenue and profits in 2022. Here are three bank stocks to buy.1. Bank of AmericaOne of the main moneymakers for most banks is net interest income(NII), the profit that banks make mostly on loans and securities after covering the cost of funding those assets. Rate hikes help NII because many yields on loans rise along with the federal funds rate.Bank of America is incredibly asset sensitive because of its large commercial loan base, which encompasses many floating-rate loans that adjust higher with the federal funds rate, and its multi-trillion dollar deposit base.Image source: Getty Images.In its 2021 annual filing, which came out in late February, Bank of America only expected the federal funds rate to be at 1% at the end of 2022. Seven rate hikes in total this year would put it around 1.75%. Management doesn't provide guidance on full-year expected NII, but if six more hikes materialize, expect NII -- and therefore total revenue -- to surpass initial projections, barring a recession that doesn't stunt projected loan growth. Chief Financial Officer Alastair Borthwick noted on the company's latest earnings call that the bank's balance sheet has grown considerably in recent years and that the bank is twice as sensitive to the federal funds rate than it was in 2015 when the last rate cycle began.Furthermore, Bank of America has greatly improved its deposit base. Deposit costs go up along with the federal funds rate, so the banks that can bring in low-cost, sticky deposits can increase their margins the most. Longtime bank analyst Mike Mayo of Wells Fargo pointed out in a recent research note that roughly half of Bank of America's $2 trillion deposits are low-cost retail deposits from sources like checking accounts. He doesn't expect the rates on those to increase much through the first four or five rate hikes. Couple that with the fact that management expects to hold expenses flat this year and it's hard not to like Bank of America under the Fed's new plans.2. ComericaBased in Dallas with nearly $97 billion in assets,Comerica Incorporated is one of the most rate-sensitive banks in the industry. According to its annual filing, a 1% move higher in the federal funds rate would essentially grow NII by a whopping 12% over the next 12 months from the end of 2021 (although keep in mind these are just projections and rarely pan out exactly as expected).More than 55% of Comerica's deposits are non-interest bearing, meaning the bank pays no interest on them.

Thebankalso has nearly a 2.9% dividend yield even with its stock up nearly 32% over the past six months, which is a nice value add.3. Silvergate CapitalMy last recommendation in this group is a much smaller, niche bank called Silvergate Capital, which actually specializes in serving the crypto community. While it doesn't hold Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies on its balance sheet, the bank has created a real-time payments system that enables any party on the network to send and clear funds instantly at any time.The payments network solves an important problem for institutional traders looking to trade with cryptocurrency exchanges, because while cryptocurrencies trade constantly, most of the U.S. financial system doesn't operate in real time.

In addition to leading the content-creation space for AR and VR and benefiting from unfolding metaverse trends, Unity is also already the market leader in development-engine services for the mobile games market.</p><p>More than 71% of the market&#39;s top-1000 best-performing mobile games rely on Unity&#39;s software, and developers of all sizes turn to the company&#39;s tools to create their content. For example, even gaming-industry leader <b>Activision Blizzard</b>&#39;s hugely successful <i>Call of Duty: Mobile</i> is built on Unity&#39;s software engine, and the software specialist has promising avenues to growth as it attracts more customers and sees increased spending from those already using its services.</p><p>The company closed out 2021 with a dollar-based net-retention rate of 140%, which means that existing customers on its platform spent an average of 40% compared to the prior-year period. The company&#39;s net-expansion rate was actually up from the 138% rate that it posted at the end of 2020, and sales growth for its development-engine services segment actually accelerated despite facing a challenging basis of comparison. Unity ended last year with 1,052 customers contributing $100,000 or more in trailing-12-month revenue, up 33% year over year, and these catalysts helped it grow sales 44% annually to reach $1.1 billion.</p><p>I think the market for interactive content is still poised for huge growth over the long term, and I recently purchased Unity stock for my portfolio. With shares down roughly 35% year to date and 56% from their high, this is an industry-leading software specialist that could go on to be a huge winner for long-term investors.</p><p><b>Netflix is spending nearly $20 billion on content while delivering robust profits</b></p><p><b>Parkev Tatevosian</b> <b>(Netflix)</b>: The streaming-content pioneer has fallen out of favor with the market. The stock is down 47% off its high in just a few months. That&#39;s created an opportunity for long-term investors to buy this beaten-down growth stock at a lower valuation. And make no mistake, Netflix is still a growth stock.</p><p>Much has been made of Netflix&#39;s slowing subscriber growth. Investors were always concerned that the surging acquisition and engagement Netflix experienced at the pandemic onset would not last. That is to be expected. No one thinks we will be streaming as much content as during the lockdown periods. Netflix has retained subscriber growth achieved over these last two years and is adding to its totals.</p><p>As of Dec. 31. 2021, Netflix boasts 222 million subscribers, up 9% over the same time the year before. The total was enough to generate $7.7 billion in revenue. That&#39;s money the streaming leader can use to spend on content to further its leadership position. Indeed, in the 12 months ended Dec. 31, Netflix spent $17 billion on content. All of this will spring the flywheel forward for Netflix. More content brings more subscribers, which brings more revenue that can be spent on more content, and so on.</p><p>Moreover, Netflix has reached a big enough scale to deliver robust profits. Net income rose to $5.1 billion in the year ended Dec. 31, up from $2.7 billion in the year prior. Fortunately for investors, Netflix can be purchased at its lowest price-to-earnings (P/E) in the last five years. At 32.86, the P/E is down considerably from the over 120 it was trading for around July 2019.</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>Beyond Stock Splits and Interest Rates: 3 Beaten-Down Growth Stocks to Buy Right Now</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\">\nBeyond Stock Splits and Interest Rates: 3 Beaten-Down Growth Stocks to Buy Right Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-03-20 08:42 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/03/19/beyond-stock-splits-and-interest-rates-3-beaten-do/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSMeta Platforms is unpopular -- and quite cheap because of it.Unity Software is a category that offers huge long-term upside.It's hard to chill when you're taking a beatdown.

I'll also publicly state that I'm unlikely to take my own advice on this and buy shares of the company, because it's a business model that I don't particularly support. I think social media is complex, and I am uncertain that it does more good than harm to society. But my personal reticence shouldn't be a reason for those who don't share my qualms from owning the company.Because, man, it's so profitable.Meta earned $39.3 billion in net income in 2021, and almost all of that was free cash flow. It is still one of the biggest and most important advertising platforms on earth. And despite the opinions of people like me who hold the company with a dash of disdain -- hypocrisy alert -- I continue to use Facebook and its other platforms, as do billions of other people who simultaneously complain about it.The bottom line is, Meta Platforms has never been this cheap, trading for less than 16 times earnings and free cash flow, and almost 10 times operating cash flow.FB PE Ratio data by YChartsShould investors just hold their nose and buy shares? That's up to them. But I do think Meta will remain a cash cow, grow more profitable, and outperform the S&P 500 over the next five years. I think shareholders, users, and ad buyers should alsocontinue to hold management's feet to the fire to be better for humanity.This beaten-down software leader could be explosiveKeith Noonan (Unity Software):Unity Software is a company that provides content-creation tools, and its services are currently used in the creation of more than two-thirds of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) content. In addition to leading the content-creation space for AR and VR and benefiting from unfolding metaverse trends, Unity is also already the market leader in development-engine services for the mobile games market.More than 71% of the market's top-1000 best-performing mobile games rely on Unity's software, and developers of all sizes turn to the company's tools to create their content. For example, even gaming-industry leader Activision Blizzard's hugely successful Call of Duty: Mobile is built on Unity's software engine, and the software specialist has promising avenues to growth as it attracts more customers and sees increased spending from those already using its services.The company closed out 2021 with a dollar-based net-retention rate of 140%, which means that existing customers on its platform spent an average of 40% compared to the prior-year period. The company's net-expansion rate was actually up from the 138% rate that it posted at the end of 2020, and sales growth for its development-engine services segment actually accelerated despite facing a challenging basis of comparison. Unity ended last year with 1,052 customers contributing $100,000 or more in trailing-12-month revenue, up 33% year over year, and these catalysts helped it grow sales 44% annually to reach $1.1 billion.I think the market for interactive content is still poised for huge growth over the long term, and I recently purchased Unity stock for my portfolio. With shares down roughly 35% year to date and 56% from their high, this is an industry-leading software specialist that could go on to be a huge winner for long-term investors.Netflix is spending nearly $20 billion on content while delivering robust profitsParkev Tatevosian (Netflix): The streaming-content pioneer has fallen out of favor with the market. The stock is down 47% off its high in just a few months. That's created an opportunity for long-term investors to buy this beaten-down growth stock at a lower valuation. And make no mistake, Netflix is still a growth stock.Much has been made of Netflix's slowing subscriber growth. Investors were always concerned that the surging acquisition and engagement Netflix experienced at the pandemic onset would not last. That is to be expected. No one thinks we will be streaming as much content as during the lockdown periods. Netflix has retained subscriber growth achieved over these last two years and is adding to its totals.As of Dec. 31. 2021, Netflix boasts 222 million subscribers, up 9% over the same time the year before. The total was enough to generate $7.7 billion in revenue. That's money the streaming leader can use to spend on content to further its leadership position. Indeed, in the 12 months ended Dec. 31, Netflix spent $17 billion on content. All of this will spring the flywheel forward for Netflix. More content brings more subscribers, which brings more revenue that can be spent on more content, and so on.Moreover, Netflix has reached a big enough scale to deliver robust profits. Net income rose to $5.1 billion in the year ended Dec. 31, up from $2.7 billion in the year prior. Fortunately for investors, Netflix can be purchased at its lowest price-to-earnings (P/E) in the last five years. At 32.86, the P/E is down considerably from the over 120 it was trading for around July 2019.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":288,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9032722672,"gmtCreate":1647447379329,"gmtModify":1676534231476,"author":{"id":"3573299881996779","authorId":"3573299881996779","name":"CocoPosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2994528efd5659c489648d11451cddd5","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9032722672","repostId":"1189260494","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1189260494","pubTimestamp":1647441827,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1189260494?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-03-16 22:43","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Ukraine and Russia Draw up Neutrality Plan to End War","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1189260494","media":"Financial Times","summary":"Ukraine and Russia have made significant progress on a tentative 15-point peace plan including a cea","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Ukraine and Russia have made significant progress on a tentative 15-point peace plan including a ceasefire and Russian withdrawal if Kyiv declares neutrality and accepts limits on its armed forces, according to three people involved in the talks.</p><p>The proposed deal, which Ukrainian and Russian negotiators discussed in full for the first time on Monday, would involve Kyiv renouncing its ambitions to join Nato and promising not to host foreign military bases or weaponry in exchange for protection from allies such as the US, UK and Turkey, the people said.</p><p>The nature of western guarantees for Ukrainian security — and their acceptability to Moscow — could yet prove to be a big obstacle to any deal, as could the status of Ukrainian territories seized by Russia and its proxies in 2014.

Facebook (FB) stands to make even more money than Snap. Analysts expect a net profit of nearly $7 billion, which amounts to $2.61 a share, when Facebook reports results after the closing bell Wednesday.</p>\n<p>Including sales of its virtual reality hardware, and other devices—which are expected contribute to the estimated $452 million to the “Other” revenue segment—Facebook revenue is expected to rise roughly 33% to $23.71 billion. The ad business will contribute revenue of $23.29 billion.</p>\n<p>Facebook is expected to grow its user base by tens of millions as well. Analysts forecast its daily member count will rise to 1.87 billion, and monthly user base will top 2.83 billion. Its monthly user base is expected to reach almost 3 billion (2.99 billion) by the end of the year.</p>\n<p>Beyond advertising, BMO Capital Markets analyst Daniel Salmon&nbsp;wrote in a research note that commerce and shopping are becoming more important for Facebook’s success.</p>\n<p>In March, Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg&nbsp;said there were one million Facebook Shops, and 250 million visitors. Salmon said that if the company discloses the gross merchandise volume, it could help cement the importance to investors of Facebook’s commerce initiatives. Salmon acknowledged that such as disclosure wasn’t likely.</p>\n<p>Investors have been wondering for months about the impact of a change to Apple‘s mobile operating system tech, which finally rolled out this week.</p>\n<p>On Monday, in an update to its iOS operating system,Apple changed its software to ask iPhone and iPad users to opt in to an app’s tracking—a significant departure from the opt out ability buried in the operating system’s settings previously.</p>\n<p>Zuckerberg and&nbsp;Apple&nbsp;(APPL) CEO Tim Cook&nbsp;have sparred over the issue for months. With just over a day’s worth of data, it seems unlikely Facebook will share details about the impact on its users. Previously developers have said it will hurt advertising targeting, and therefore damage ad revenue. It isn’t yet clear exactly what Apple users will do when presented with the choice, or the effectiveness of potential workarounds built by Facebook and others.</p>\n<p>BofA Securities analyst Justin Post wrote that he expects a “modest, low-single digit” impact on advertising spending on the platform since Facebook has had “ample time to prepare and develop workarounds.”</p>\n<p>Facebook finance chief David Wehner&nbsp;has discussed the potential impact on the business in past conference calls, and investors should pay close attention to any updates offered Wednesday. It’s worth noting that Zuckerberg took a less cautious tone in March, saying that he was confident the company will handle the situation. There is also the potential it could positively benefit the company, the CEO said.</p>\n<p>Of the analysts that cover Facebook, 49 rate the stock Buy, six have a Hold, and three rate it a Sell. The average target price is $339, which implies an upside of 12%.</p>\n<p>Barron’s took a positive view of Facebook stock earlier this month. Shares have climbed 2% since the cover story in the April 5 issue, as the S&amp;P 500 index rose 4.1%.

Facebook (FB) stands to make even more money than Snap. Analysts expect a net profit of nearly $7 billion, which amounts to $2.61 a share, when Facebook reports results after the closing bell Wednesday.\nIncluding sales of its virtual reality hardware, and other devices—which are expected contribute to the estimated $452 million to the “Other” revenue segment—Facebook revenue is expected to rise roughly 33% to $23.71 billion. The ad business will contribute revenue of $23.29 billion.\nFacebook is expected to grow its user base by tens of millions as well. Analysts forecast its daily member count will rise to 1.87 billion, and monthly user base will top 2.83 billion. Its monthly user base is expected to reach almost 3 billion (2.99 billion) by the end of the year.\nBeyond advertising, BMO Capital Markets analyst Daniel Salmon wrote in a research note that commerce and shopping are becoming more important for Facebook’s success.\nIn March, Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said there were one million Facebook Shops, and 250 million visitors. Salmon said that if the company discloses the gross merchandise volume, it could help cement the importance to investors of Facebook’s commerce initiatives. Salmon acknowledged that such as disclosure wasn’t likely.\nInvestors have been wondering for months about the impact of a change to Apple‘s mobile operating system tech, which finally rolled out this week.\nOn Monday, in an update to its iOS operating system,Apple changed its software to ask iPhone and iPad users to opt in to an app’s tracking—a significant departure from the opt out ability buried in the operating system’s settings previously.\nZuckerberg and Apple (APPL) CEO Tim Cook have sparred over the issue for months. With just over a day’s worth of data, it seems unlikely Facebook will share details about the impact on its users. Previously developers have said it will hurt advertising targeting, and therefore damage ad revenue. It isn’t yet clear exactly what Apple users will do when presented with the choice, or the effectiveness of potential workarounds built by Facebook and others.\nBofA Securities analyst Justin Post wrote that he expects a “modest, low-single digit” impact on advertising spending on the platform since Facebook has had “ample time to prepare and develop workarounds.”\nFacebook finance chief David Wehner has discussed the potential impact on the business in past conference calls, and investors should pay close attention to any updates offered Wednesday. It’s worth noting that Zuckerberg took a less cautious tone in March, saying that he was confident the company will handle the situation. There is also the potential it could positively benefit the company, the CEO said.\nOf the analysts that cover Facebook, 49 rate the stock Buy, six have a Hold, and three rate it a Sell. The average target price is $339, which implies an upside of 12%.\nBarron’s took a positive view of Facebook stock earlier this month. Shares have climbed 2% since the cover story in the April 5 issue, as the S&P 500 index rose 4.1%. Facebook gained 0.7% to $305.02 in Tuesday afternoon trading.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":18,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":327634418,"gmtCreate":1616079526734,"gmtModify":1704790733940,"author":{"id":"3573299881996779","authorId":"3573299881996779","name":"CocoPosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2994528efd5659c489648d11451cddd5","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great.

The Labor Department on Fridayreportedthat nonfarm payrolls jumped by 379,000 for the month and the unemployment rate fell to 6.2%. That compared to expectations of 210,000 new jobs and the unemployment rate to hold steady from the 6.3% rate in January, according to Dow Jones.As rates jumped, tech shares with high valuations got hit again in the premarket, continuing the pattern this week. Tesla and Peloton shares fell declined.The move in futures followed a sharp sell-off on Thursday triggered by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks on rising bond yields. The Fed chair said the recent runup caught his attention but he didn’t give any indication of how the central bank would rein it in. Some investors had expected Powell to signal his willingness to adjust the Fed’s asset purchase program.The economic reopening could “create some upward pressure on prices,” Powell said in a Wall Street Journal webinar Thursday. Even if the economy sees “transitory increases in inflation … I expect that we will be patient,” he added.“Equity investors, in our conversations, are really grappling with two things they may not have had to deal with for the last 10 years,” said Tom Lee, Fundstrat’s co-founder head of research. “One is the potential for inflation to actually have to be priced into equities. I think there’s a lot of confusion.”“Then it’s a bond market that seems to be testing the Fed, which kind of scares people,” added Lee, who believes the sell-off this week is a buying opportunity.Tech stocks led the market decline Thursday, especially those with high valuations and small or no profitability. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.1% Thursday, bringing its losses this week to 3.6%. The tech-heavy benchmark also turned negative for the year and fell into correction territory, or down 10% from a recent high, on an intraday basis.Tesla shares were off their lows in Friday premarket trading but still down 0.3%.The S&P 500 and the Dow both fell more than 1% Thursday, headed for a losing week.

For leisure and travel stocks like Airbnb that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.Leisure, Travel Industry StocksShares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.Airline stocks like American Airlines, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.Cruise stocks like Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line are showing similar patterns.Meanwhile, shares of boat makers MarineMax and Brunswick as well as RV makers Winnebago and Thor Industries need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.Hotel leader Marriott has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from Expedia rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.When Luxury Means More PrivacyLuxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by Berkshire Hathaway, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.Vacation Shift Favors These Travel StocksHotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes & Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.The Homes & Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities — not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.Seaworthy Travel Stocks Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections. The National Marine Manufacturers Association says new powerboat sales surged 34% in February compared to the same time period last year.\"Inventory levels of new boats are the leanest they've ever been, and boats are being sold as soon as they hit the marketplace as manufacturers work to fulfill the backlog of orders,\" said Vicky Yu, senior director of business intelligence for NMMA. \"While new boat sales slowed in early 2021 following record sales last year, we are still seeing elevated levels as more Americans seek out boating as a way to spend quality time with loved ones.\"The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick as well as sport boat maker Malibu Boats.\"It's really turning out to be a great alternative for people to stay close to home and with their family and friends and enjoy the boating lifestyle,\" MarineMax CFO Michael McLamb said in a conference call after reporting earnings April 22.Travel Stocks For Being Alone TogetherThe desire to spend more time with friends and family is also spurring RV sales. They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call. That includes power sports, boating and RVs.Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.\"We also believe the time (spent) recently with family and friends has reinforced that they'd like to do more of that in the future,\" Happe said. \"And families and individuals will be reevaluating how they spend their leisure time going forward.\"Airbnb pointed to another sign of this trend among leisure and travel stocks. Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.Work-Life RebalanceAs people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle. In particular, they can try to balance work, leisure and travel differently.Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"Airbnb says the share of bookings longer than 28 days jumped to 24% in Q1 from 14% in 2019. The company doesn't consider this travel.\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"Future Of Business Travel?That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.Experts say fewer workers may fly for one-day intracompany meetings. However, more crucial business will still require people to fly for in-person meetings.When it's time to show up in person, Airbnb expects workers will travel together more often. That trend also has ramifications for Airbnb stock and others. Employees who work in different cities might stay in one house when they visit headquarters. They could share meals together at the kitchen table in the morning or evening.That may be a welcome change for road warriors, who pop in an out of cities and squeeze in sightseeing along the way.\"They don't miss business travel,\" Chesky said. \"They don't miss standing in line in front of a museum or a landmark … getting a photo with a selfie stick.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3575437443107611","authorId":"3575437443107611","name":"MoneyCum","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"content":"Like n comment.

But for Airbnb, which relies on people to open their homes to guests, the company will need to ramp up its number of hosts instead of building out more real estate or adding flights to meet demand.\nIt’s a similar problem faced by other companies in the gig economy likeUber, which recently announced a$250 million stimulusin an effort to bring more drivers to its platform.\n“As vaccination rates increase in the United States, we are observing that consumer demand for Mobility is recovering faster than driver availability, and consumer demand for Delivery continues to exceed courier availability,”Uber saidin a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.\nChesky said Airbnb isn’t likely to offer “a lot of incentives” to bring new hosts on board since there’s already a huge amount of demand for service.\n“I think that all we have to do is just continue to tell our story of Airbnb, and the benefits of hosting. And we are seeing a lot of interest,” he said.\nAs part of that, Chesky said the company has done things like launch its “made possible by hosts” ad campaign. The company rolled out a number of advertisements using photographs from Airbnb guests staying in homes around the world, in an effort to create a sense of nostalgia.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":70,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":326016085,"gmtCreate":1615563929047,"gmtModify":1704784694301,"author":{"id":"3573299881996779","authorId":"3573299881996779","name":"CocoPosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2994528efd5659c489648d11451cddd5","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy more!!!","listText":"Buy more!!!","text":"Buy more!!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/326016085","repostId":"1192391495","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1192391495","pubTimestamp":1615555989,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1192391495?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-12 21:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Could Reach a $3 Trillion Market Valuation, Analysts Say","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1192391495","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Citi, Wedbush analysts both see Apple’s market cap increasing.

so-called \"meme stocks\" such as GameStop at the center of social media-fueled rallies that have gripped Wall Street when the gaming platform becomes a publicly traded company on Wednesday.\nThe San Mateo, California-based gaming site, whose revenues surged last year as hundreds of millions of kids were marooned in their homes by coronavirus shutdowns, has spent months preparing for its stock market launch.\nRoblox is looking to capitalize on a red-hot market for new share issues, and has opted to go public through a direct listing meaning it has not sold any shares in advance of its market debut on Wednesday.\nDozens of posts on social media platforms including Reddit suggest the company's shares will draw a wave of buying from the army of small-time investors who have shocked institutional investors with their ability this year to move shares in companies including GameStop, AMC Inc and BlackBerry.\nThe New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday set a reference price of $45 for shares of the U.S. gaming platform, implying a market value for the company of around $30 billion.\nRoblox was founded in 2004 by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel, although its journey began in 1989 when Baszucki and Cassel programmed a 2D simulated physics lab that would later lay the groundwork for the company.\nRoblox has since grown into a community of more than eight million active developers who produce their own 3D multi-player games each month using the company's design tool.\nOn an average 37.1 million people globally log on to Roblox daily to connect with friends, according to the company's filing, and play some of its most popular games such as \"Natural Disaster Survival\", \"Murder Mystery 2\", \"Jailbreak\" and \"Speed Run 4\".\nIn 2020, people stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic fueled an 85% year-on-year jump in Roblox's daily active users to 32.6 million across more than 180 countries.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":0,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":110550598,"gmtCreate":1622471341714,"gmtModify":1704184886139,"author":{"id":"3573299881996779","authorId":"3573299881996779","name":"CocoPosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2994528efd5659c489648d11451cddd5","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow!","listText":"Wow!","text":"Wow!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/110550598","repostId":"1196755944","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":14,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":134789819,"gmtCreate":1622259484531,"gmtModify":1704182417692,"author":{"id":"3573299881996779","authorId":"3573299881996779","name":"CocoPosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2994528efd5659c489648d11451cddd5","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/134789819","repostId":"2138948877","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138948877","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"The

For leisure and travel stocks like Airbnb that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.Leisure, Travel Industry StocksShares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.Airline stocks like American Airlines, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.Cruise stocks like Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line are showing similar patterns.Meanwhile, shares of boat makers MarineMax and Brunswick as well as RV makers Winnebago and Thor Industries need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.Hotel leader Marriott has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from Expedia rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.When Luxury Means More PrivacyLuxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by Berkshire Hathaway, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.Vacation Shift Favors These Travel StocksHotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes & Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.The Homes & Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities — not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.Seaworthy Travel Stocks Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections. The National Marine Manufacturers Association says new powerboat sales surged 34% in February compared to the same time period last year.\"Inventory levels of new boats are the leanest they've ever been, and boats are being sold as soon as they hit the marketplace as manufacturers work to fulfill the backlog of orders,\" said Vicky Yu, senior director of business intelligence for NMMA. \"While new boat sales slowed in early 2021 following record sales last year, we are still seeing elevated levels as more Americans seek out boating as a way to spend quality time with loved ones.\"The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick as well as sport boat maker Malibu Boats.\"It's really turning out to be a great alternative for people to stay close to home and with their family and friends and enjoy the boating lifestyle,\" MarineMax CFO Michael McLamb said in a conference call after reporting earnings April 22.Travel Stocks For Being Alone TogetherThe desire to spend more time with friends and family is also spurring RV sales. They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call. That includes power sports, boating and RVs.Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.\"We also believe the time (spent) recently with family and friends has reinforced that they'd like to do more of that in the future,\" Happe said. \"And families and individuals will be reevaluating how they spend their leisure time going forward.\"Airbnb pointed to another sign of this trend among leisure and travel stocks. Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.Work-Life RebalanceAs people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle. In particular, they can try to balance work, leisure and travel differently.Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"Airbnb says the share of bookings longer than 28 days jumped to 24% in Q1 from 14% in 2019. The company doesn't consider this travel.\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"Future Of Business Travel?That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.Experts say fewer workers may fly for one-day intracompany meetings. However, more crucial business will still require people to fly for in-person meetings.When it's time to show up in person, Airbnb expects workers will travel together more often. That trend also has ramifications for Airbnb stock and others. Employees who work in different cities might stay in one house when they visit headquarters. They could share meals together at the kitchen table in the morning or evening.That may be a welcome change for road warriors, who pop in an out of cities and squeeze in sightseeing along the way.\"They don't miss business travel,\" Chesky said. \"They don't miss standing in line in front of a museum or a landmark … getting a photo with a selfie stick.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":51,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":193991309,"gmtCreate":1620743424601,"gmtModify":1704347753074,"author":{"id":"3573299881996779","authorId":"3573299881996779","name":"CocoPosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2994528efd5659c489648d11451cddd5","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow!! :)","listText":"Wow!! :)","text":"Wow!! :)","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/193991309","repostId":"1199341916","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":52,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":199076449,"gmtCreate":1620659232381,"gmtModify":1704346353419,"author":{"id":"3573299881996779","authorId":"3573299881996779","name":"CocoPosh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2994528efd5659c489648d11451cddd5","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow&nbsp;","listText":"Wow&nbsp;","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/199076449","repostId":"1116731360","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":45,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
