@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. 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.</p><p>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.</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.

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.

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 addition, the massively parallel compute architecture of our GPUs and associated software are well suited for deep learning and machine learning, powering the era of AI. While traditional CPU-based approaches no longer deliver advances on the pace described by Moore’s Law, we deliver GPU performance improvements on a pace ahead of Moore’s Law, giving the industry a path forward. – Nvidia 2022 Annual ReportNvidiaIn addition, as seen in the chart above, the company claims to provide a full stack of AI solutions. Besides its hardware, Nvidia has a collection of AI software solutions and development kits for customers and software developers including Clara Mionai, Riva, Maxine, Nemo and Merlin. Moreover, according to the company, it hasover 450 NVIDIA AI libraries and software development kits to serve industries such as gaming, design, quantum computing, AI, 5G/6G, and robotics.Furthermore, its products support various AI software frameworks and software such as RAPIDS, TensorFlow and PyTorch. As Nvidia continued to build up its AI stack, the company’s patents had been steadily increasing since 2018 to 1,174 in 2021 based on Global Data. In comparison, AMD’s patents had also been rising since 2017 with a higher number of patents (1,795) while Intel’s patent filings had been declining but have the most number of patents (11,677).Additionally, the company had introduced its standalone enterprise software offering including NVIDIA AI Enterprise which is $1,000 per node and has 25,000 enterprises already using its technology for AI. According to the company, it had a server installed base of 50 mln enterprises and a TAM of $150 bln for its Enterprise AI software based on its Investor Day Presentation. To determine the share of TAM we expect Nvidia to derive, we compared it against AMD and Intel in terms of its breadth of products, AI software integrations, GPU and CPU performance and price. We ranked the best company for each category with a weight of 0.5 followed by 0.3 for the second-best and 0.2 for the last company and calculated its average weight as our assumption for each company’s share of the TAM.Competitive PositioningNvidiaIntelAMDNumber of products754Software AI Integrations21187Average Data Center CPU BenchmarkN/A34,23776,308Average Data Center CPU PriceN/A$ 2,277$ 3,843GPU Performance (TFLOPS)60N/A47.9GPU Price$36,405N/A$ 14,500Competitive PositioningNvidiaIntelAMDNumber of products0.50.30.2Software AI Integrations0.50.30.2Average Data Center CPU Benchmark0.20.50.3Average Data Center CPU Price0.20.50.3GPU Performance (TFLOPS)0.50.20.3GPU Price0.30.20.5Weights0.370.330.30Source: Nvidia, Intel, AMD, WFTech, Khaveen Investments Based on the table, Nvidia has the broadest product breadth between AMD (4) and Intel (5) with 7 products as the company product offerings include GPUs and DPUs as well as reference design systems such as AGX, HGX, EGX and DGX. Also, it is planning to introduce CPUs based on Arm architecture. In comparison, Intel follows behind with its portfolio of ASICs, FPGAs, GPUs, CPUs and Smart NICs while AMD has FPGAs (Xilinx), CPUs, GPUs and DPUs. Furthermore, by referring to these companies’ AI presentation pitch decks and websites, we found that Nvidia has the highest AI software integrations (21) with its broad collection as stated above in addition to its cloud deployment and infrastructure optimization including Nvidia GPU Operator, Network Operator, vGPU, MagnumIO, CUDA-AI and vSphere integration as part of its AI Enterprise package. As Nvidia’s CPU and Intel’s GPU have yet to launch, we ranked it as the lowest with N/A for our calculations.In terms of hardware, we compared Intel and AMD data center CPUs from our previous analysis of Intel where we determined AMD’s performance advantage based on its higher benchmark score but with premium pricing compared to Intel. Additionally, we compared Nvidia’s H100 GPU based on its performance as measured by its TFLOPS specs with a higher maximum of 60 TFLOPS compared to AMD’s Instinct M250. Though, Nvidia’s GPU has a higher estimated price compared to AMD.Nvidia Enterprise AI Software Revenue ($ bln)20212022F2023F2024F2025F2026F2027F2028FMarket TAM150Nvidia Enterprise AI Software0.030.10.20.72.06.118.355Growth %200%200%200%200%200%200%200%Source: Nvidia, Khaveen Investments Overall, we determined that Nvidia edged out Intel and AMD with the highest competitive positioning with an average weightage for Nvidia at 37% which we used as our assumption for its share of the Enterprise AI software TAM. Based on the company’s $150 bln TAM as highlighted from its Investor Day, we estimated its revenue opportunity to be $55 bln growing at a CAGR of 200% from 2021 (calculated based on its average cost of $1,000 and 25,000 existing customers) which we believe is not unreasonable given the expected rise of AI which could contribute $15.7 tln in economic output by 2030 according to PwC.$10 billion Arm CPU Opportunity in Data CentersFurthermore, the company had recently introduced its Arm-based Grace CPU for data centers. 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.

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":551,"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://community-static.tradeup.com/news/818138cfd3c48ea6aad706cbda48c1d6","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573299881996779","authorIdStr":"3573299881996779"},"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,"idStr":"3574572626557999","authorIdStr":"3574572626557999"},"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 growth-heavy <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> index has fallen by roughly 25% from the peak it hit last year, and there&#39;s a good chance your portfolio is feeling the squeeze.</p><p>The market is undeniably shaky right now, but the volatility has also created opportunities to invest in top companies at amazing discounts. With that in mind, we asked a trio of Motley Fool contributors to identify which stocks they viewed as most worth pouncing on at today&#39;s prices. From where they sit, <b>Starbucks</b>, <b>Airbnb</b>, and <b>Netflix</b> look like some of the best beaten-down growth stocks you can buy right now.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9fd36c482fa49b5c4ef7981c03aff83f\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"465\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>Take a summertime sip from this beverage behemoth</h2><p><b>Daniel Foelber (Starbucks):</b> Starbucks, both as a company and a stock, is undergoing a makeover. 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.

The growth-heavy Nasdaq Composite index has fallen by roughly 25% from the peak it hit last year, and there's a good chance your portfolio is feeling the squeeze.The market is undeniably shaky right now, but the volatility has also created opportunities to invest in top companies at amazing discounts. With that in mind, we asked a trio of Motley Fool contributors to identify which stocks they viewed as most worth pouncing on at today's prices. From where they sit, Starbucks, Airbnb, and Netflix look like some of the best beaten-down growth stocks you can buy right now.Image source: Getty Images.Take a summertime sip from this beverage behemothDaniel Foelber (Starbucks): Starbucks, both as a company and a stock, is undergoing a makeover. The company'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.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's history in favor of investing in the core business. It'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.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'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.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.Use the market's skittishness to buy this travel leaderKeith Noonan (Airbnb): Many of the market'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.That's all coming in conjunction with multiple compression for the market at large, which has led to some brutal stock price declines.Meanwhile, Airbnb has actually seen its business surge as social distancing and travel restrictions have eased, but the company's stock has still participated in the stark pullback for growth stocks at large. The short-term rental specialist'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.Airbnb'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's expected earnings, they look attractively valued -- particularly given the strength of the growth underway.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's risk-reward profile is very attractive, and I think investors who take a buy-and-hold approach will bank fantastic returns.Netflix is down, but certainly not outJames Brumley (Netflix): 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'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 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":245,"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://community-static.tradeup.com/news/818138cfd3c48ea6aad706cbda48c1d6","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573299881996779","authorIdStr":"3573299881996779"},"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","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1654326815,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2240224327?lang=&edition=fundamental","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.

Renewed concerns over consistent elevated price levels, and the prospect of an economic slowdown, stirred up further turbulence in markets. The major indexesrallied to turn positive in the last session, but remained near 2022 lows after the S&amp;P 500 fell below 4,000 hovering near bear market territory for much of the week.</p><p>It was defined as a close of at least 20% from a recent record high.</p><p>“The question remains as to whether this rally signifies the end of the selling,” LPL Financial Chief Equity Strategist Quincy Krosby said in a note, adding analysts will be watching 200-day moving averages and whether resistance levels are pierced. “Moreover, although price action is key, volume to the upside would suggest buyer interest at these levels.”</p><p>“Given the history of bear markets, coupled with the fact that the Fed has just begun its rate hike cycle and would like to see financial conditions continue to tighten so that demand pulls back further, this rally will most likely weaken,” Krosby added.</p><h2>Inflation and Fedspeak</h2><p>Sharp gyrations across major indexes coincided with two key inflation reports last week. Concerns were aroused among market participants regarding possibility that surging price levels have shifted from being “transitory” to becoming “entrenched” in the U.S. economy.</p><p>The Producer Price Index (PPI) out Thursday showed an 11% year-over-year rise in wholesale prices last month, with the rate leveling only marginally from March&#39;s all-time high rate of 11.5%, while Wednesday’sConsumer Price Index (CPI) reflected another red-hot readingof 8.3% year-over-year.</p><p>&#34;The markets have been volatile but we haven’t reached the bottom yet,” Bruderman Asset Management equity analystAkshata Bailkeri told Yahoo Finance. “The Federal Reserve has already indicated that they have flexibility in dealing with inflation numbers as they come in.&#34;</p><p>The market digested a flurry of remarks from Fed officials in response to the latest inflationary snapshots out of Washington last week. In anexclusive interview with Yahoo Finance LiveWednesday, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard said high readings concern central bank policy makers and reinforce the need for higher interest rates.</p><p>“Inflation is broader and more persistent than many have thought and the Fed will have to act in order to keep inflation under control and we’ve got a plan in place,” Bullard said in the interview.</p><p>Last week,Atlanta Fed President Raphael BosticandCleveland Fed President Loretta Mesterboth told Yahoo Finance that 0.50% moves were their baseline expectations through at least the June and July meetings, and signaled a hike of 0.75% was on the table.</p><p>Investors will have more Fedspeak to mull in the coming days, with Fed chief Jerome Powell set to give remarks at a conference hosted by the Wall Street Journal Tuesday afternoon, Speaking engagements from other central bank officials is slated to take place through Friday.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0456ec243a792682e6a65685cd44ab40\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>“The inconvenient truth is the Fed is going to need to raise rates more quickly and to a higher level than many were hoping,” Independent Advisor Alliance Chief Investment Officer Chris Zaccarelli said recently in an emailed note. “There will be at least four 50 bps rate hikes this year and not three or less and we will continue to be cautious with risk assets.”</p><h2>Retail in focus</h2><p>On the earnings front, a bevy of quarterly reports from retail heavyweights are likely to offer insight on the state of U.S. inflation and how consumers are coping with rising prices.</p><p>Walmart, the biggest retailer in the U.S., is scheduled to release results before the market opens Tuesday. The company is expected to post adjusted earnings of $1.48 per share on revenue of $139.23 billion, a drop of 12% for its adjusted EPS with revenue up 1% from the same period last year, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates.</p><p>The mega retailer expects full-year net sales growth of about 3% and same-store sales of above 3% excluding fuel. 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.</p><p>The seven largest stocks in the S&amp;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.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7faad2aa85754070dfb7cfe669331f1f\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"506\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Financials from other big retail names including Home Depot (HD), Target (TGT), Lowe&#39;s (LOW) and Macy&#39;s (M) are also on the calendar.</p><p>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.</p><p>“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 spending.”</p><p>—</p><p><b>Economic calendar</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f6da3bf89bcf7766190b2df9db68d25\" tg-width=\"1800\" tg-height=\"1430\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p><b>Monday:</b>Empire Manufacturing, May (15.0 expected, 24.6 during prior month), Net Long-Term TIC Outflows, March ($141.7 billion during prior month), Total Net TIC Outflows, March (162.6 billion during prior month)</p><p><b>Tuesday:</b>Retail Sales Advance, month-over-month, April (1.0% expected, 0.5% during prior month, upwardly revised to 0.7%), Retail Sales excluding autos, month-over-month, April (0.4% expected, 1.1% during prior month, upwardly revised 1.4%), Retail Sales excluding autos and gas, month-over-month, April (0.7% expected, 0.2% during prior month, upwardly revised to 0.7%), Retail Sales Control Group, April (0.8% expected, -0.1% during prior month, upwardly revised to 0.7%), Industrial Production, month-over-month, April (0.5% expected, 0.9% during prior month), Capacity Utilization, April (78.5% expected, 78.3% during prior month), Manufacturing (SIC) Production, April (0.4% expected, 0.9% during prior month), Business Inventories, March (1.9% expected, 1.5% during prior month), NAHB Housing Market Index, May (75 expected, 77 during prior month)</p><p><b>Wednesday:</b>MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended May 13 (2.0% during prior week), Housing starts, April (1.760 million expected, 1.793 million during prior month), Housing starts, month-over-month, April (-1.8% expected, 0.3% during prior month), Building permits, April (1.812 million expected, 1.873 million during prior month, downwardly revised to 1.870 million), Building permits, month-over-month, April (-3.1% expected, 0.4% during prior month, downwardly revised to 0.3%)</p><p><b>Thursday:</b>Philadelphia Fed Business Outlook Index, May (16.5 expected, 17.6 during prior month), Initial jobless claims, week ended May 14 (200,000 expected, 203,000 during prior week), Continuing claims, week ended May 7 (1.330 million expected, 1.343 during prior week),</p><p>Existing Home Sales, April (5.63 million expected, 5.77 million during prior month), Existing Home Sales, month-over-month, April (-2.5% expected, -2.7% during prior month), Leading Index, April (0.0% expected, 0.3% in during prior month)</p><p><b>Friday:</b>No notable reports scheduled for release</p><p>—</p><p><b>Earnings calendar</b></p><p><b>Monday</b></p><p>Before market open: Warby Parker (WRBY), Weber (WEBR), Ryanair (RYAAY), AngloGold (AU)</p><p>After market close: Take-Two Interactive (TTWO)</p><p><b>Tuesday</b></p><p>Before market open: Walmart (WMT) at 7:00 a.m. ET, Home Depot (HD), JD.com (JD), Vodafone (VOD), Trip.com (TCOM)</p><p>After market close:<i>No notable reports scheduled for release</i></p><p><b>Wednesday</b></p><p>Before market open: Analog Devices (ADI) at 7:00 a.m. ET, TJ at 9:30 a.m. ET Maxx (TJX), Lowe’s (LOW), Target (TGT)</p><p>After market close: Cisco (CSCO), Bath &amp;

The major indexesrallied to turn positive in the last session, but remained near 2022 lows after the S&P 500 fell below 4,000 hovering near bear market territory for much of the week.It was defined as a close of at least 20% from a recent record high.“The question remains as to whether this rally signifies the end of the selling,” LPL Financial Chief Equity Strategist Quincy Krosby said in a note, adding analysts will be watching 200-day moving averages and whether resistance levels are pierced. “Moreover, although price action is key, volume to the upside would suggest buyer interest at these levels.”“Given the history of bear markets, coupled with the fact that the Fed has just begun its rate hike cycle and would like to see financial conditions continue to tighten so that demand pulls back further, this rally will most likely weaken,” Krosby added.Inflation and FedspeakSharp gyrations across major indexes coincided with two key inflation reports last week. Concerns were aroused among market participants regarding possibility that surging price levels have shifted from being “transitory” to becoming “entrenched” in the U.S. economy.The Producer Price Index (PPI) out Thursday showed an 11% year-over-year rise in wholesale prices last month, with the rate leveling only marginally from March's all-time high rate of 11.5%, while Wednesday’sConsumer Price Index (CPI) reflected another red-hot readingof 8.3% year-over-year.\"The markets have been volatile but we haven’t reached the bottom yet,” Bruderman Asset Management equity analystAkshata Bailkeri told Yahoo Finance. “The Federal Reserve has already indicated that they have flexibility in dealing with inflation numbers as they come in.\"The market digested a flurry of remarks from Fed officials in response to the latest inflationary snapshots out of Washington last week. In anexclusive interview with Yahoo Finance LiveWednesday, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard said high readings concern central bank policy makers and reinforce the need for higher interest rates.“Inflation is broader and more persistent than many have thought and the Fed will have to act in order to keep inflation under control and we’ve got a plan in place,” Bullard said in the interview.Last week,Atlanta Fed President Raphael BosticandCleveland Fed President Loretta Mesterboth told Yahoo Finance that 0.50% moves were their baseline expectations through at least the June and July meetings, and signaled a hike of 0.75% was on the table.Investors will have more Fedspeak to mull in the coming days, with Fed chief Jerome Powell set to give remarks at a conference hosted by the Wall Street Journal Tuesday afternoon, Speaking engagements from other central bank officials is slated to take place through Friday.“The inconvenient truth is the Fed is going to need to raise rates more quickly and to a higher level than many were hoping,” Independent Advisor Alliance Chief Investment Officer Chris Zaccarelli said recently in an emailed note. “There will be at least four 50 bps rate hikes this year and not three or less and we will continue to be cautious with risk assets.”Retail in focusOn the earnings front, a bevy of quarterly reports from retail heavyweights are likely to offer insight on the state of U.S. inflation and how consumers are coping with rising prices.Walmart, the biggest retailer in the U.S., is scheduled to release results before the market opens Tuesday. The company is expected to post adjusted earnings of $1.48 per share on revenue of $139.23 billion, a drop of 12% for its adjusted EPS with revenue up 1% from the same period last year, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates.The mega retailer expects full-year net sales growth of about 3% and same-store sales of above 3% excluding fuel. 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 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.

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.

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":205,"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://community-static.tradeup.com/news/818138cfd3c48ea6aad706cbda48c1d6","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573299881996779","authorIdStr":"3573299881996779"},"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","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1648709994,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2223033801?lang=&edition=fundamental","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.

Shares of the widely followed company have retraced by 30% since hitting a 52-week high back in May 2021.The big knock against AT&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&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":172,"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://community-static.tradeup.com/news/818138cfd3c48ea6aad706cbda48c1d6","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573299881996779","authorIdStr":"3573299881996779"},"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","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1648341534,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1191611475?lang=&edition=fundamental","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":549,"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://community-static.tradeup.com/news/818138cfd3c48ea6aad706cbda48c1d6","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573299881996779","authorIdStr":"3573299881996779"},"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","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1648218129,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1196994532?lang=&edition=fundamental","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":231,"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://community-static.tradeup.com/news/818138cfd3c48ea6aad706cbda48c1d6","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573299881996779","authorIdStr":"3573299881996779"},"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","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1648134042,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2221079378?lang=&edition=fundamental","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. Couple that with the fact that management expects to hold expenses flat this year and it&#39;s hard not to like Bank of America under the Fed&#39;s new plans.</p><p><b>2. 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. 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).</p><p>More than 55% of Comerica&#39;s deposits are non-interest bearing, meaning the bank pays no interest on them. These are rate insensitive and are expected to be much more stable during a rising-rate environment. 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. With roughly 90% of total loans in various commercial segments, many of Comerica&#39;s loans also have floating rates that will reprice higher with the federal funds rate.</p><p>Considering management at Comerica had only expected four rate hikes this year, that leaves a lot of room for potential upside. 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.</p><p><b>3. Silvergate Capital</b></p><p>My last recommendation in this group is a much smaller, niche bank called <b>Silvergate Capital</b>, which actually specializes in serving the crypto community.

Parties that use Silvergate&#39;s payments system must set up bank accounts with Silvergate that usually include large amounts of non-interest-bearing deposits. In fact, Silvergate essentially gets its entire deposit base for free.</p><p>Even better for investors worried about a recession is that the bank isn&#39;t really too dependent on loans. Only roughly 12.5% of its deposits are funding loans. Roughly 54% of its total assets, or roughly $8.6 billion, are invested in fixed income securities. 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. With the yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury recently at 2.16%, the bank will make a lot more money on excess cash and new securities deployment.</p><p>Silvergate will likely have to hold more cash than normal banks due to the nature of its business. 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.

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.

Read on to see why they identified <b>Meta Platforms</b>, <b>Unity Software</b>, and <b>Netflix</b> as companies that could deliver incredible returns for growth-focused investors.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/64ff7a6e00d06fda91a21743cca65e92\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1414\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><p><b>Easy to hate, hard to ignore</b></p><p><b>Jason Hall</b> <b>(Meta Platforms):</b>I&#39;ll be the first to admit that I don&#39;t own shares of Meta Platforms. I&#39;ll also publicly state that I&#39;m unlikely to take my own advice on this and buy shares of the company, because it&#39;s a business model that I don&#39;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&#39;t be a reason for those who don&#39;t share my qualms from owning the company.</p><p>Because, man, it&#39;s <i>so</i> <i>profitable</i>.</p><p>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.

I think shareholders, users, and ad buyers should <i>also</i>continue to hold management&#39;s feet to the fire to be better for humanity.</p><p><b>This beaten-down software leader could be explosive</b></p><p><b>Keith Noonan</b> <b>(Unity Software):</b>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.</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.

Netflix stock price is almost cut in half.Amazon's planned 20-for-1 stock split and the Federal Reserve's recently announced quarter-point interest rate hike have been some of the biggest stories in the investing world lately. While the tech giant's stock split is spurring excitement among investors, and the Fed raising rates will have far-reaching effects and impact demand for tech stocks, the fact that some growth stocks are currently trading at very attractive discounts shouldn't be overlooked.With that in mind, a panel of Motley Fool contributors has profiled three of their favorite, beaten-down growth stocks. Read on to see why they identified Meta Platforms, Unity Software, and Netflix as companies that could deliver incredible returns for growth-focused investors.Image source: Getty Images.Easy to hate, hard to ignoreJason Hall (Meta Platforms):I'll be the first to admit that I don't own shares of Meta Platforms. 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":371,"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://community-static.tradeup.com/news/818138cfd3c48ea6aad706cbda48c1d6","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573299881996779","authorIdStr":"3573299881996779"},"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","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1647441827,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1189260494?lang=&edition=fundamental","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.\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 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.

Alternatively, if the Fed were to opt to ramp up its purchases of 10-year Treasury notes to stem long-term rates, then mortgage rates could drop, Kapfidze said.Either way, mortgage rates remain very low by historical standards even if they're now above the 3% mark, and industry experts anticipate that demand for mortgages will remain strong.The Mortgage Bankers Association \"continues to see a very strong housing market, with mortgage applications to buy a home increasing, even as refinance demand wanes,\" said Mike Fratantoni, the trade organization's chief economist. \"While mortgage rates are likely to move somewhat higher, the purchase market remains on track for a record year.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":34,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":366958308,"gmtCreate":1614387050604,"gmtModify":1704771425945,"author":{"id":"3573299881996779","authorId":"3573299881996779","name":"CocoPosh","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/818138cfd3c48ea6aad706cbda48c1d6","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573299881996779","authorIdStr":"3573299881996779"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Always love bitcoin!!!

Intel will further crush AMD with its (up to) 16-core Alder Lake: going from half the core count, to double in one generation.</li>\n <li>Intel is also re-investing in the (high-end) desktop, could leapfrog AMD in the data center, and seems to be overtaking AMD-Xilinx for FPGA leadership.</li>\n <li>AMD is slow to transition to the leading edge in process technology. For example, AMD will not launch 5nm laptop CPUs until 2023, when Intel might have outsourced (TSMC) 3nm.</li>\n <li>Given all the above, the Intel bear thesis of AMD benefiting from Intel's stumbles, gaining a large tech advantage and taking much market share, is finally finished.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Investment Thesis</b></p>\n<p>While Arm previously tried (and failed) to enter the data center about a decade ago, in recent years, there has been a more credible resurgence in Arm competition, led by the Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL)Silicon transition and Amazon (AMZN) Graviton chips. Reportedly, Microsoft (MSFT) is also responding to Amazon with its own Arm chips, and with Ampere, there is also a merchant vendor.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, still the biggest bear thesis for Intel (INTC) is AMD (AMD), which has rolled out a competitive Zen-based product portfolio (while, at the same time, Intel was stumbling with 10nm), and hence, Intel would be at risk of losing a major amount of market share.</p>\n<p>However, as I see it, AMD’s window of opportunity, which it had due to Intel’s multi-year 10nm delays, is closing rapidly as Intel’s next-gen (much more competitive) chips are entering the market. While AMD will still be a credible alternative supplier going forward, I don’t foresee it holding a significant lead, if any lead at all. I will illustrate in several areas.</p>\n<p>That means the story of AMD profiting from Intel’s delays to take loads of market share (almost for free) is finished. It simply didn't happen when it had to.</p>\n<p>1. Waning laptop competitiveness</p>\n<p>One of the main reasons AMD has attracted much attention is because the fastest chips are, not surprisingly, found in the desktop market, where the power budget is much higher. To that end, desktop is the segment where AMD’s flagship technology debuts first.</p>\n<p>However, one just has to look at Intel’s earnings to note that the most important segment (financially) is actually the laptop one, which account for ~70% of the market. And given that AMD’s laptop chips have generally launched six months or more after the desktop segment, this means Intel has actually experienced much less pressure from AMD than many would probably have expected (at least financially in its PC business).</p>\n<p>This changed, though, with the launch of AMD Renoir in 2020. This chip packed eight 7nm Zen 2 cores. In the 15W thin-and-light segment, this meant AMD had twice as many cores as Intel, while in the 35-45W range, Intel hadn't transitioned to 10nm yet, which meant it was competing with its old 14nm Skylake-based IP. Hence, Renoir posed AMD’s first significant threat to Intel’s PC business (even more so than Zen 3, AMD’s other 2020 launch).</p>\n<p>Intel, however, has alreadyanswered Renoir with Tiger Lake:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>In the 15-28W segment, Tiger Lake has a major performance advantage in per-core and graphics performance, as well as a generally superior platform with integrated Wi-Fi 6, AI acceleration, Thunderbolt 4, etc. Tiger Lake is able to compete against 6-core Renoir chips despite having only four cores, which means, only at the very high-end (and low volume), Intel loses in multi-threaded performance.</li>\n <li>More recently, Intel hasbrought Tiger Lake to 35-45W with eight coresas well. While AMD, for its part, has transitioned to Zen 3 in laptops, benchmarks show the two CPUs are roughly equal.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Looking forward, and it seems, AMD’s competitiveness will fade further rather quickly.</p>\n<p>Intel will launch Alder Lake in the second half of 2021. Alder Lake will implement big.Little, which has been used for many years in the smartphone space to improve power efficiency. Hence, by combining high performance and high frequency cores, Intel will be able to deliver an unmatched capability, since AMD only has one architecture. According to leaks, Alder Lake will come in 2+6 up to 6+8 configurations of Core + Atom cores (and even 8+8 for 55W laptops). Altogether, leaks have indicated Intel is expecting Alder Lake to double in performance.</p>\n<p>Hence, as I see it, Intel's hybrid designs will be a big blow for AMD's laptop competitiveness going forward. Indeed: quite recently, there have actually been somerumors of AMD developing its own hybrid designcalled Strix Point. It would consist of eight high-performance Zen 5 cores and four low power \"Zen 4D\" cores, all on 3nm.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, looking even further out, into 2022 and beyond, AMD’s roadmap is even bleaker than Intel’s. It is highly unlikely AMD will launch a 5nm part before 2023. Given the publicity Intel received from its 7nm delay (from 2022 to 2023), that should raise concerns. While much has been discussed about Intel’s loss of process leadership, this loss only means something if its competitors make use of that advantage.</p>\n<p>In this case, AMD is not making use of it. Even though 5nm launched in the market in late 2020, AMD’s 2022 laptop roadmap consists of “Zen3+”, which means a refresh of its 2021 laptop line-up. This also means there will be no 5nm laptops from AMD until some time in 2023. That, in turn, means Intel might actually launch its 7nm CPUs before AMD launches 5nm. Never mind if Intel also charges forward with TSMC-based (TSM) 3nm CPU in 2023. The Strix Point CPU from AMD (on 3nm) is also rumored for 2024, while Intel has talked about outsourcing for 2023 already.</p>\n<p>As a last indication, Intel also took CPU connectivity leadership in laptops with PCIe 4.0, whereas AMD stayed with 3.0. This also means AMD will still be on 3.0 when Intel launches Alder Lake, which will be further upgraded to PCIe 5.0.</p>\n<p>2. Re-investing in the desktop</p>\n<p>Besides defending its laptop stronghold, Intel is also re-investing in the desktop. The desktop is one of the main victims of Intel’s 10nm delays, as Intel has yet to launch its first 10nm desktop CPUs.</p>\n<p>This will change with Alder Lake in H2’21, as Intel will bring this CPU also to the desktop. That means the desktop will (finally) return to parity with Intel’s laptop segment, in terms of technology. That should substantially improve Intel’s competitiveness. Here, likewise, leaks haveindicatedIntel is expecting 2x performance. This would put Intel on performance parity (or even a slight leadership) against Zen 3.</p>\n<p>Since recentrumors indicate that Zen 4 will launch in Q4'22, this means Intel could be more or less on parity with AMD for at least a full year (if the 2x performance claim holds true across the board).</p>\n<p>As described, though, for AMD, the desktop represents its flagship segment, whereas Intel has most vigorously defended the (much bigger) laptop space. Hence, I do not foresee Intel necessarily vigorously overtaking AMD. Still, given the seemingly late 2022 launch for Zen 4, it's a bit of pity that Meteor Lake has been delayed. Nevertheless, based on the large jump Intel is making with Alder Lake, the gap should close substantially, especially for all but those who need the highest core counts.</p>\n<p>3. Re-entering high-end desktop (HEDT)</p>\n<p>Another segment that Intel has basically ignored for the last few years is the high-end desktop. Once proud of its $1700 10-core CPU, these chips immediately became obsolete once AMD launched its Threadripper line. Even with many price cuts, Intel hasn't really had a compelling offering for this segment for years already.</p>\n<p>Reports indicate, however, that Intel is outright skipping the Ice Lake-X generation and will move straight to Sapphire Rapids-X. Since AMD lately also hasn't given its Threadripper line the most aggressive roadmap, Intel could bring some serious competition back to this market if Sapphire Rapids-X would launch in 2022.</p>\n<p>4. Overtaking AMD in the data center?</p>\n<p>Besides the desktop, the data center has been the other segment where Intel had fallen substantially behind due to its 10nm delays. Frankly, ever since AMD launched its 7nm Rome CPUs with 64 cores, it has been surprising that Intel has not lost more market share, given that its own offering consisted of 28-core CPUs on 14nm for a long time.</p>\n<p>More recently, acomprehensive benchmark effort by Phoronixhas indicated that Intel is actually surprisingly competing against these 64-core Milan CPUs with its own 40-core Ice Lake-SP on 10nm.</p>\n<p>Intel's competitiveness will further improve withSapphire Rapids. It will move to Intel’s latest technology, with the same architecture and 10nm Enhanced SuperFin process as the upcoming Alder Lake. It will (almost) close to the gap in core count, with a boost to 56 cores.</p>\n<p>In fact, in tech forums, enthusiasts continue to debate whether Sapphire Rapids will top out at 56 or 72 cores, as there have also been rumors of the latter variant. In that case, Intel's chances of unambiguously overtaking AMD would be greatly increased.</p>\n<p>Additionally, Sapphire Rapids, in any case, will take a substantial lead in I/O, with PCIe 5.0 and CXL, as well as DDR5 and HBM support. It also has an integrated data engine (Data Streaming Accelerator), and it will move to Intel’s chiplet design with four EMIB-connected tiles. This means each chiplet will have 14 (or 18) cores.</p>\n<p>Lastly, Sapphire Rapids will also substantially widen Intel’s already vast lead in AI performance, with the inclusion of Intel’s version of Nvidia’s (NVDA) Tensor Cores. In aninterview with AnandTechearlier this year, Intel said that AVX-512 (which Intel's current DLBoost is based on) is one of the largest factors for customers choosing to adopt Intel over AMD. So, to that end, Intel expects Sapphire Rapids to improve AI performance by a further 4-8x.</p>\n<p>To be sure, given the delays of at least several quarters, I do not expect Intel to take an unsurmountable leadership position. For example, in 2019, Intel said that the next-gen 7nm Granite Rapids would launch when Sapphire Rapids will actually launch: in early 2022. This means AMD will transition to 5nm before Intel transitions to its 7nm Granite Rapids CPUs, which gives AMD a chance to one-up Intel.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, for investors, the key point is that I do not foresee that, at any point going forward, AMD will hold a substantial advantage, and for a substantial amount of time, anymore. Even with the 7nm delays, I do not foresee a repeat of the 28-core vs. 64-core situation described above.</p>\n<p>As a case in point, remember that enterprises do not care so much about who has leadership at any given time, as much as that they demand a long-term roadmap. Customers buy into roadmaps rather than single point products. Intel has such a competitive roadmap at an annual cadence: Ice Lake early 2021, Sapphire Rapids early 2022, Granite Rapids early to mid 2023, Diamond Rapids in 2014, etc.</p>\n<p>What this means is that performance will remain contested: Sapphire Rapids will likely overtake AMD, but AMD will respond with Genoa. Then, Intel will respond with Granite Rapids, etc. This raises the rhetorical question: will enterprises bother to switch to AMD if, half a year later, Intel may launch a faster CPU, etc.? The pure performance benchmarks also neglect less quantifiable advantages such as Intel’s vastly larger sales force, etc.</p>\n<p>In summary, AMD did not even manage to achieve 10% market share while it had over twice the core count (and hence a substantial leadership across the board). That advantage now seems gone for at least the next few generations. AMD simply didn't capitalize when it had the once-in-a-century opportunity.</p>\n<p>5. Challenging Xilinx for FPGA leadership</p>\n<p>I will describe FPGAs rather briefly, as this could be its own topic. As a preliminary note, one should be more cautious here since FPGAs are more esoteric technology in nature.</p>\n<p>For example, in light of AMD’s acquisition, some remarked that Intel’s Altera acquisition supposedly would be a failed one. If any arguments were given at all (to substantiate that claim), it would supposedly be because Intel has not launched an FPGA integrated with its Xeon CPUs, or because of its lackluster financial performance. However, the FPGA integration argument goes against the industry trend, which is to position the FPGA as an accelerator, just like GPUs which in the data aren't integrated directly into the CPU either. In the future, FPGAs will be connected through the open CXL interconnect, which was developed by Intel, and has also been backed by Xilinx(NASDAQ:XLNX), Arm and even AMD.</p>\n<p>Acquisition issues aside, with regards to actual FPGA leadership, here as well Intel has made much progress to catch up and even surpass Xilinx.</p>\n<p>Prior to the acquisition, Altera had delays with its 20nm generation, which led to it being one year behind Xilinx to the 16/14nm generation. However, almost literally the first day after the acquisition, Intel invested in a second, parallel design team for the 10nm generation. This allowed Intel to catch up and achieve parity to the 10nm/7nm generation, as both FPGAs started sampling around mid-2019, and have recently begun ramping more broadly.</p>\n<p>In fact, as part of the quite recentIce Lake-SP launch, Intelclaimedthat its 10nm FPGAs achieve up to 2x higher performance/watt compared to Xilinx' 7nm Versal FPGAs. So, arguably, Intel has not just got back to parity, but has in fact leapfrogged Xilinx.</p>\n<p>There are other aspects as well that demonstrate Intel’s FPGA leadership, including its pioneering use of chiplets (and in the future even 3D stacking), as well as Intel’s transceiver leadership (and indeed those transceivers are separate chiplets): Intel was first to 58G and 116G speed, and first to demo 224G in 2020.</p>\n<p>Even at 14nm, despite being later to initial launch (as described), Intel still managed to launch the first 14/16nm FPGAs with integrated HBM, integrated Arm cores and even PCIe 4.0.</p>\n<p>6. Regaining process leadership (process technology decreasing in importance)</p>\n<p>As discussed in the first point, having a process technology leadership only means something if the fabless foundry customer makes use of it. In the case of AMD, it explicitly does not, as it will launch a “Zen3+” refresh in 2022, instead of 5nm Zen 4, in laptops at least.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, combining this with the outsourcing rumors, and Intel may actually return to process leadership, as instead Intel may launch 3nm CPUs in 2023, leapfrogging AMD’s 5nm ones. In fact, it seems highly unlikely that AMD will launch any 3nm CPUs in2023 at all, as for example indicated by the Strix Point rumor for 2024.</p>\n<p>As Bob Swan said in anearly 2021 interview, it would only adopt foundries if it got preferential treatment. Hence, AMD bulls may have underestimated Intel’s position as world’s largest semiconductor company when they perhaps assumed TSMC would be dismissive of Intel’s potential multi-billion wafer orders.</p>\n<p>The larger point, though, is that Moore’s Law is likely to decrease in importance. For example, TSMC’s 3nm will deliver a real-world shrink of about 1.5x at a relatively slow 2.5 year cadence. This shows Moore’s Law is slowing down. So, even if TSMC continues to have a leadership position, it is unlikely it will have enormous advantage. Pat Gelsinger, for its part, claimed that Intel is already back on track for leadership anyway.</p>\n<p>Additionally, there are many advances beyond the base process technology, such as chiplets and even 3D stacking. If anything, Intel is actually ahead with those technologies.</p>\n<p><b>Crunching the numbers</b></p>\n<p>The proof is in the pudding. Intel took back share from AMD for the first time in three years, in Q4'20. This comprehensive article covers the details:Intel Claws Back Desktop PC and Notebook Market Share From AMD, First Time in Three Years. Following article contains somemore recent numbers.</p>\n<p>This seems to prove exactly the point of this article: Intel has more or less stopped AMD's momentum with the ramp of its 10nm products. AMD's market share in data centers is still well below 10% (estimated at ~$0.5B quarterly revenue), and if the PC numbers are any indication, AMD's momentum might slow there as well with Intel's 10nm data center CPUs.</p>\n<p><b>How Intel could leapfrog AMD in 2023</b></p>\n<p>By 2023, with Meteor Lake Intel will have a \"breakthrough\" (as Intel called it) CPU architecture that might leapfrog AMD, perhaps reaching Intel's goal of \"unquestioned leadership\". Built on TSMC's 3nm and its own 7nm, it will be about half node to a full node ahead of AMD's 5nm portfolio.</p>\n<p>In other words, from being a year behind in 2019, Intel could actually be a year ahead in 2023.</p>\n<p>Officially, Pat Gelsinger has promised investors only such a leadership by 2024-2025, so if Intel reaches an unmatched leadership position faster (largely because of slow execution by AMD, offsetting Intel's 7nm delays as described), that would obviously be quite bullish.</p>\n<p>In reality, though, it will likely take Intel varying amounts of time to obtain leadership in different categories. For example, as described Alder Lake may already deliver unquestioned leadership in laptops later this year.</p>\n<p><b>Risks</b></p>\n<p>In laptops, Intel's main risk is its product cadence. While according to Pat, Intel has made tremendous progress on 7nm since mid-2020, Meteor Lake has been delayed from late 2022 to somewhere in 2023. Additionally, the 2024 AMD Strix Point product does pose a clear response to Intel's hybrid designs by combining both its Atom and Core architectures, which I called an unmatched capability.</p>\n<p>In desktops, many enthusiasts have taken a stance of waiting for Intel to prove that such a hybrid design also works in this segment. While Zen 4 seems to launch later than many had expected, it also remains unclear how Intel will respond to further core count increases by AMD: will Intel scale only the number of big cores, only the Atom cores, or both?</p>\n<p>In the data center and high-end desktop, the main issue remains Intel's ability (or willingness) to compete on core count. Even if Intel is already competitive (in some areas) with a lower core count, some Arm competitors are already talking about triple digit core counts.</p>\n<p>In FPGAs, despite Intel's vastly improved position in the last few years, this isn't showing in this group's financial and market share. Additionally, both Intel and Xilinx also have a bit of a different strategy, as Xilinx, for example, prefers to call its 7nm FPGAs \"ACAPs\", referring to their various integrated accelerators for things such as 5G.</p>\n<p>Lastly, in process technology, despite Intel's \"full embrace of EUV\", the track record of execution remains on TSMC's side. Additionally, given ASML's (ASML)supply constraints, some have remarked that Intel might not be able to obtain enough tools to ramp 7nm. However, there is no real evidence (such as indications by either ASML or Intel management) that there are any such concerns.</p>\n<p><b>Investment thesis revisited</b></p>\n<p>This article is in part an indirect response to thethesis of another SA contributor, who claimed that Intel, instead,is finished. For example, the author notes that Intel is releasing 10nm chips, compared to AMD’s 7nm and Apple’s 5nm, and hence Intel would be behind. In doing so, the authorfalls in the nanometer marketing games trap, as Intel’s 10nm process is objectively actually (slightly) superior to TSMC’s 7nm. One should be cautious of investment theses based solely on the name of the process technology (“7nm”, “5nm”, etc.), as those names are incomparable across foundries.</p>\n<p>I also differ with regards to the author’s analysis of Intel’s outsourcing strategy. Intel has only said that its 7nm node has encountered issues. Nothing is known about Intel’s 5nm. Hence, outsourcing could be an effective strategy to address the delays in one generation, investing instead more heavily in the next generation.</p>\n<p><b>Investor takeaway</b></p>\n<p>AMD, to me, looks finished. Specifically, the bear thesis of Intel losing loads of market share to AMD by the latter profiting from Intel’s 10nm delays, is finished. In fact, Intel even took some share back since Q4'20.</p>\n<p>Going forward, while AMD certainly will continue to be competitive, I do not foresee AMD to ever again attain such a meaningful tech advantage that would act as a catalyst for broad adoption of AMD, like what had been the case when AMD moved to 7nm, while Intel had to continue to rely on 14nm. I showed this in six areas:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>In laptops, Tiger Lake is already the overall superior overall platform when considering graphics and integrated Wi-Fi 6. Going forward, with Alder Lake, Intel will deliver an unmatched capability with its Hybrid Technology, also catching up on (or even surpassing in) core count and hence likely multi-threaded performance. Meanwhile, AMD won’t move to 5nm until 2023, when Intel may actually leverage TSMC’s 3nm besides its 7nm.</li>\n <li>Intel is also re-investing in the desktop, with Alder Lake, significantly improving competitiveness. Since the desktop remains AMD’s flagship platform, AMD will likely continue to have the upper hand, though.</li>\n <li>Intel is also re-entering the high-end desktop segment with Sapphire Rapids-X, skipping a hypothetical Ice Lake-X.</li>\n <li>Intel frankly is lucky that AMD hasn’t managed to take more market share in the data center. However, going forward with Sapphire Rapids and beyond, Intel will catch up: the performance crown will likely change sides with various product introductions. But that is the point: enterprises likely aren’t going to switch vendors with each new CPU release. Hence, just being competitive with an annual roadmap should suffice to largely stop the threat of severe market share losses. That is what Intel will deliver.</li>\n <li>Going into the acquisition half a decade ago, Intel-Altera was one year behind to the 16/14nm generation. However, Intel caught up and achieved parity (or even leadership) at the 10/7nm generation.</li>\n <li>The general outlook is that, going forward, process technology will matter less as Moore’s Law is slowing, and Intel and the industry is moving towards outsourcing, chiplets and even 3D stacking. More specifically, AMD is failing to transition to 5nm timely, making Intel's 7nm delays less relevant.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>In short, AMD’s golden age started with the (coincidental) confluence of the launch of its Zen architecture and Intel’s multi-year 10nm delays. However, with 10nm now ramping, Intel is quickly regaining competitiveness. Furthermore, Intel’s willingness to leverage TSCM’s most leading edge processes, such as 3nm, even before AMD adopts those, further strengthens the point.</p>\n<p><b>Bottom line</b></p>\n<p>With that, the bearish thesis of Intel losing loads of market share to AMD, to prevent Intel from capitalizing on its many growth opportunities from cloud to 5G and IoT, is arguably definitely finished. However, Intel is still largely valued as if does not have these growth prospects. Hence, if the Street would reconsider this valuation, there may be upside.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Intel: AMD Threat Is Finished</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\">\nIntel: AMD Threat Is Finished\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-08 23:08 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4433617-intel-amd-threat-is-finished><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nAlthough competition from Arm is increasing, AMD remains Intel’s biggest competitor, as concerns of losing market share weigh on Intel’s valuation.\nAMD's short-lived laptop competitiveness is...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4433617-intel-amd-threat-is-finished\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"INTC":"英特尔"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4433617-intel-amd-threat-is-finished","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1124688970","content_text":"Summary\n\nAlthough competition from Arm is increasing, AMD remains Intel’s biggest competitor, as concerns of losing market share weigh on Intel’s valuation.\nAMD's short-lived laptop competitiveness is already waning. Intel will further crush AMD with its (up to) 16-core Alder Lake: going from half the core count, to double in one generation.\nIntel is also re-investing in the (high-end) desktop, could leapfrog AMD in the data center, and seems to be overtaking AMD-Xilinx for FPGA leadership.\nAMD is slow to transition to the leading edge in process technology. For example, AMD will not launch 5nm laptop CPUs until 2023, when Intel might have outsourced (TSMC) 3nm.\nGiven all the above, the Intel bear thesis of AMD benefiting from Intel's stumbles, gaining a large tech advantage and taking much market share, is finally finished.\n\nInvestment Thesis\nWhile Arm previously tried (and failed) to enter the data center about a decade ago, in recent years, there has been a more credible resurgence in Arm competition, led by the Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL)Silicon transition and Amazon (AMZN) Graviton chips. Reportedly, Microsoft (MSFT) is also responding to Amazon with its own Arm chips, and with Ampere, there is also a merchant vendor.\nNevertheless, still the biggest bear thesis for Intel (INTC) is AMD (AMD), which has rolled out a competitive Zen-based product portfolio (while, at the same time, Intel was stumbling with 10nm), and hence, Intel would be at risk of losing a major amount of market share.\nHowever, as I see it, AMD’s window of opportunity, which it had due to Intel’s multi-year 10nm delays, is closing rapidly as Intel’s next-gen (much more competitive) chips are entering the market. While AMD will still be a credible alternative supplier going forward, I don’t foresee it holding a significant lead, if any lead at all. I will illustrate in several areas.\nThat means the story of AMD profiting from Intel’s delays to take loads of market share (almost for free) is finished. It simply didn't happen when it had to.\n1. Waning laptop competitiveness\nOne of the main reasons AMD has attracted much attention is because the fastest chips are, not surprisingly, found in the desktop market, where the power budget is much higher. To that end, desktop is the segment where AMD’s flagship technology debuts first.\nHowever, one just has to look at Intel’s earnings to note that the most important segment (financially) is actually the laptop one, which account for ~70% of the market. And given that AMD’s laptop chips have generally launched six months or more after the desktop segment, this means Intel has actually experienced much less pressure from AMD than many would probably have expected (at least financially in its PC business).\nThis changed, though, with the launch of AMD Renoir in 2020. This chip packed eight 7nm Zen 2 cores. In the 15W thin-and-light segment, this meant AMD had twice as many cores as Intel, while in the 35-45W range, Intel hadn't transitioned to 10nm yet, which meant it was competing with its old 14nm Skylake-based IP. Hence, Renoir posed AMD’s first significant threat to Intel’s PC business (even more so than Zen 3, AMD’s other 2020 launch).\nIntel, however, has alreadyanswered Renoir with Tiger Lake:\n\nIn the 15-28W segment, Tiger Lake has a major performance advantage in per-core and graphics performance, as well as a generally superior platform with integrated Wi-Fi 6, AI acceleration, Thunderbolt 4, etc. Tiger Lake is able to compete against 6-core Renoir chips despite having only four cores, which means, only at the very high-end (and low volume), Intel loses in multi-threaded performance.\nMore recently, Intel hasbrought Tiger Lake to 35-45W with eight coresas well. While AMD, for its part, has transitioned to Zen 3 in laptops, benchmarks show the two CPUs are roughly equal.\n\nLooking forward, and it seems, AMD’s competitiveness will fade further rather quickly.\nIntel will launch Alder Lake in the second half of 2021. Alder Lake will implement big.Little, which has been used for many years in the smartphone space to improve power efficiency. Hence, by combining high performance and high frequency cores, Intel will be able to deliver an unmatched capability, since AMD only has one architecture. According to leaks, Alder Lake will come in 2+6 up to 6+8 configurations of Core + Atom cores (and even 8+8 for 55W laptops). Altogether, leaks have indicated Intel is expecting Alder Lake to double in performance.\nHence, as I see it, Intel's hybrid designs will be a big blow for AMD's laptop competitiveness going forward. Indeed: quite recently, there have actually been somerumors of AMD developing its own hybrid designcalled Strix Point. It would consist of eight high-performance Zen 5 cores and four low power \"Zen 4D\" cores, all on 3nm.\nMeanwhile, looking even further out, into 2022 and beyond, AMD’s roadmap is even bleaker than Intel’s. It is highly unlikely AMD will launch a 5nm part before 2023. Given the publicity Intel received from its 7nm delay (from 2022 to 2023), that should raise concerns. While much has been discussed about Intel’s loss of process leadership, this loss only means something if its competitors make use of that advantage.\nIn this case, AMD is not making use of it. Even though 5nm launched in the market in late 2020, AMD’s 2022 laptop roadmap consists of “Zen3+”, which means a refresh of its 2021 laptop line-up. This also means there will be no 5nm laptops from AMD until some time in 2023. That, in turn, means Intel might actually launch its 7nm CPUs before AMD launches 5nm. Never mind if Intel also charges forward with TSMC-based (TSM) 3nm CPU in 2023. The Strix Point CPU from AMD (on 3nm) is also rumored for 2024, while Intel has talked about outsourcing for 2023 already.\nAs a last indication, Intel also took CPU connectivity leadership in laptops with PCIe 4.0, whereas AMD stayed with 3.0. This also means AMD will still be on 3.0 when Intel launches Alder Lake, which will be further upgraded to PCIe 5.0.\n2. Re-investing in the desktop\nBesides defending its laptop stronghold, Intel is also re-investing in the desktop. The desktop is one of the main victims of Intel’s 10nm delays, as Intel has yet to launch its first 10nm desktop CPUs.\nThis will change with Alder Lake in H2’21, as Intel will bring this CPU also to the desktop. That means the desktop will (finally) return to parity with Intel’s laptop segment, in terms of technology. That should substantially improve Intel’s competitiveness. Here, likewise, leaks haveindicatedIntel is expecting 2x performance. This would put Intel on performance parity (or even a slight leadership) against Zen 3.\nSince recentrumors indicate that Zen 4 will launch in Q4'22, this means Intel could be more or less on parity with AMD for at least a full year (if the 2x performance claim holds true across the board).\nAs described, though, for AMD, the desktop represents its flagship segment, whereas Intel has most vigorously defended the (much bigger) laptop space. Hence, I do not foresee Intel necessarily vigorously overtaking AMD. Still, given the seemingly late 2022 launch for Zen 4, it's a bit of pity that Meteor Lake has been delayed. Nevertheless, based on the large jump Intel is making with Alder Lake, the gap should close substantially, especially for all but those who need the highest core counts.\n3. Re-entering high-end desktop (HEDT)\nAnother segment that Intel has basically ignored for the last few years is the high-end desktop. Once proud of its $1700 10-core CPU, these chips immediately became obsolete once AMD launched its Threadripper line. Even with many price cuts, Intel hasn't really had a compelling offering for this segment for years already.\nReports indicate, however, that Intel is outright skipping the Ice Lake-X generation and will move straight to Sapphire Rapids-X. Since AMD lately also hasn't given its Threadripper line the most aggressive roadmap, Intel could bring some serious competition back to this market if Sapphire Rapids-X would launch in 2022.\n4. Overtaking AMD in the data center?\nBesides the desktop, the data center has been the other segment where Intel had fallen substantially behind due to its 10nm delays. Frankly, ever since AMD launched its 7nm Rome CPUs with 64 cores, it has been surprising that Intel has not lost more market share, given that its own offering consisted of 28-core CPUs on 14nm for a long time.\nMore recently, acomprehensive benchmark effort by Phoronixhas indicated that Intel is actually surprisingly competing against these 64-core Milan CPUs with its own 40-core Ice Lake-SP on 10nm.\nIntel's competitiveness will further improve withSapphire Rapids. It will move to Intel’s latest technology, with the same architecture and 10nm Enhanced SuperFin process as the upcoming Alder Lake. It will (almost) close to the gap in core count, with a boost to 56 cores.\nIn fact, in tech forums, enthusiasts continue to debate whether Sapphire Rapids will top out at 56 or 72 cores, as there have also been rumors of the latter variant. In that case, Intel's chances of unambiguously overtaking AMD would be greatly increased.\nAdditionally, Sapphire Rapids, in any case, will take a substantial lead in I/O, with PCIe 5.0 and CXL, as well as DDR5 and HBM support. It also has an integrated data engine (Data Streaming Accelerator), and it will move to Intel’s chiplet design with four EMIB-connected tiles. This means each chiplet will have 14 (or 18) cores.\nLastly, Sapphire Rapids will also substantially widen Intel’s already vast lead in AI performance, with the inclusion of Intel’s version of Nvidia’s (NVDA) Tensor Cores. In aninterview with AnandTechearlier this year, Intel said that AVX-512 (which Intel's current DLBoost is based on) is one of the largest factors for customers choosing to adopt Intel over AMD. So, to that end, Intel expects Sapphire Rapids to improve AI performance by a further 4-8x.\nTo be sure, given the delays of at least several quarters, I do not expect Intel to take an unsurmountable leadership position. For example, in 2019, Intel said that the next-gen 7nm Granite Rapids would launch when Sapphire Rapids will actually launch: in early 2022. This means AMD will transition to 5nm before Intel transitions to its 7nm Granite Rapids CPUs, which gives AMD a chance to one-up Intel.\nNevertheless, for investors, the key point is that I do not foresee that, at any point going forward, AMD will hold a substantial advantage, and for a substantial amount of time, anymore. Even with the 7nm delays, I do not foresee a repeat of the 28-core vs. 64-core situation described above.\nAs a case in point, remember that enterprises do not care so much about who has leadership at any given time, as much as that they demand a long-term roadmap. Customers buy into roadmaps rather than single point products. Intel has such a competitive roadmap at an annual cadence: Ice Lake early 2021, Sapphire Rapids early 2022, Granite Rapids early to mid 2023, Diamond Rapids in 2014, etc.\nWhat this means is that performance will remain contested: Sapphire Rapids will likely overtake AMD, but AMD will respond with Genoa. Then, Intel will respond with Granite Rapids, etc. This raises the rhetorical question: will enterprises bother to switch to AMD if, half a year later, Intel may launch a faster CPU, etc.? The pure performance benchmarks also neglect less quantifiable advantages such as Intel’s vastly larger sales force, etc.\nIn summary, AMD did not even manage to achieve 10% market share while it had over twice the core count (and hence a substantial leadership across the board). That advantage now seems gone for at least the next few generations. AMD simply didn't capitalize when it had the once-in-a-century opportunity.\n5. Challenging Xilinx for FPGA leadership\nI will describe FPGAs rather briefly, as this could be its own topic. As a preliminary note, one should be more cautious here since FPGAs are more esoteric technology in nature.\nFor example, in light of AMD’s acquisition, some remarked that Intel’s Altera acquisition supposedly would be a failed one. If any arguments were given at all (to substantiate that claim), it would supposedly be because Intel has not launched an FPGA integrated with its Xeon CPUs, or because of its lackluster financial performance. However, the FPGA integration argument goes against the industry trend, which is to position the FPGA as an accelerator, just like GPUs which in the data aren't integrated directly into the CPU either. In the future, FPGAs will be connected through the open CXL interconnect, which was developed by Intel, and has also been backed by Xilinx(NASDAQ:XLNX), Arm and even AMD.\nAcquisition issues aside, with regards to actual FPGA leadership, here as well Intel has made much progress to catch up and even surpass Xilinx.\nPrior to the acquisition, Altera had delays with its 20nm generation, which led to it being one year behind Xilinx to the 16/14nm generation. However, almost literally the first day after the acquisition, Intel invested in a second, parallel design team for the 10nm generation. This allowed Intel to catch up and achieve parity to the 10nm/7nm generation, as both FPGAs started sampling around mid-2019, and have recently begun ramping more broadly.\nIn fact, as part of the quite recentIce Lake-SP launch, Intelclaimedthat its 10nm FPGAs achieve up to 2x higher performance/watt compared to Xilinx' 7nm Versal FPGAs. So, arguably, Intel has not just got back to parity, but has in fact leapfrogged Xilinx.\nThere are other aspects as well that demonstrate Intel’s FPGA leadership, including its pioneering use of chiplets (and in the future even 3D stacking), as well as Intel’s transceiver leadership (and indeed those transceivers are separate chiplets): Intel was first to 58G and 116G speed, and first to demo 224G in 2020.\nEven at 14nm, despite being later to initial launch (as described), Intel still managed to launch the first 14/16nm FPGAs with integrated HBM, integrated Arm cores and even PCIe 4.0.\n6. Regaining process leadership (process technology decreasing in importance)\nAs discussed in the first point, having a process technology leadership only means something if the fabless foundry customer makes use of it. In the case of AMD, it explicitly does not, as it will launch a “Zen3+” refresh in 2022, instead of 5nm Zen 4, in laptops at least.\nFurthermore, combining this with the outsourcing rumors, and Intel may actually return to process leadership, as instead Intel may launch 3nm CPUs in 2023, leapfrogging AMD’s 5nm ones. In fact, it seems highly unlikely that AMD will launch any 3nm CPUs in2023 at all, as for example indicated by the Strix Point rumor for 2024.\nAs Bob Swan said in anearly 2021 interview, it would only adopt foundries if it got preferential treatment. Hence, AMD bulls may have underestimated Intel’s position as world’s largest semiconductor company when they perhaps assumed TSMC would be dismissive of Intel’s potential multi-billion wafer orders.\nThe larger point, though, is that Moore’s Law is likely to decrease in importance. For example, TSMC’s 3nm will deliver a real-world shrink of about 1.5x at a relatively slow 2.5 year cadence. This shows Moore’s Law is slowing down. So, even if TSMC continues to have a leadership position, it is unlikely it will have enormous advantage. Pat Gelsinger, for its part, claimed that Intel is already back on track for leadership anyway.\nAdditionally, there are many advances beyond the base process technology, such as chiplets and even 3D stacking. If anything, Intel is actually ahead with those technologies.\nCrunching the numbers\nThe proof is in the pudding. Intel took back share from AMD for the first time in three years, in Q4'20. This comprehensive article covers the details:Intel Claws Back Desktop PC and Notebook Market Share From AMD, First Time in Three Years. Following article contains somemore recent numbers.\nThis seems to prove exactly the point of this article: Intel has more or less stopped AMD's momentum with the ramp of its 10nm products. AMD's market share in data centers is still well below 10% (estimated at ~$0.5B quarterly revenue), and if the PC numbers are any indication, AMD's momentum might slow there as well with Intel's 10nm data center CPUs.\nHow Intel could leapfrog AMD in 2023\nBy 2023, with Meteor Lake Intel will have a \"breakthrough\" (as Intel called it) CPU architecture that might leapfrog AMD, perhaps reaching Intel's goal of \"unquestioned leadership\". Built on TSMC's 3nm and its own 7nm, it will be about half node to a full node ahead of AMD's 5nm portfolio.\nIn other words, from being a year behind in 2019, Intel could actually be a year ahead in 2023.\nOfficially, Pat Gelsinger has promised investors only such a leadership by 2024-2025, so if Intel reaches an unmatched leadership position faster (largely because of slow execution by AMD, offsetting Intel's 7nm delays as described), that would obviously be quite bullish.\nIn reality, though, it will likely take Intel varying amounts of time to obtain leadership in different categories. For example, as described Alder Lake may already deliver unquestioned leadership in laptops later this year.\nRisks\nIn laptops, Intel's main risk is its product cadence. While according to Pat, Intel has made tremendous progress on 7nm since mid-2020, Meteor Lake has been delayed from late 2022 to somewhere in 2023. Additionally, the 2024 AMD Strix Point product does pose a clear response to Intel's hybrid designs by combining both its Atom and Core architectures, which I called an unmatched capability.\nIn desktops, many enthusiasts have taken a stance of waiting for Intel to prove that such a hybrid design also works in this segment. While Zen 4 seems to launch later than many had expected, it also remains unclear how Intel will respond to further core count increases by AMD: will Intel scale only the number of big cores, only the Atom cores, or both?\nIn the data center and high-end desktop, the main issue remains Intel's ability (or willingness) to compete on core count. Even if Intel is already competitive (in some areas) with a lower core count, some Arm competitors are already talking about triple digit core counts.\nIn FPGAs, despite Intel's vastly improved position in the last few years, this isn't showing in this group's financial and market share. Additionally, both Intel and Xilinx also have a bit of a different strategy, as Xilinx, for example, prefers to call its 7nm FPGAs \"ACAPs\", referring to their various integrated accelerators for things such as 5G.\nLastly, in process technology, despite Intel's \"full embrace of EUV\", the track record of execution remains on TSMC's side. Additionally, given ASML's (ASML)supply constraints, some have remarked that Intel might not be able to obtain enough tools to ramp 7nm. However, there is no real evidence (such as indications by either ASML or Intel management) that there are any such concerns.\nInvestment thesis revisited\nThis article is in part an indirect response to thethesis of another SA contributor, who claimed that Intel, instead,is finished. For example, the author notes that Intel is releasing 10nm chips, compared to AMD’s 7nm and Apple’s 5nm, and hence Intel would be behind. In doing so, the authorfalls in the nanometer marketing games trap, as Intel’s 10nm process is objectively actually (slightly) superior to TSMC’s 7nm. One should be cautious of investment theses based solely on the name of the process technology (“7nm”, “5nm”, etc.), as those names are incomparable across foundries.\nI also differ with regards to the author’s analysis of Intel’s outsourcing strategy. Intel has only said that its 7nm node has encountered issues. Nothing is known about Intel’s 5nm. Hence, outsourcing could be an effective strategy to address the delays in one generation, investing instead more heavily in the next generation.\nInvestor takeaway\nAMD, to me, looks finished. Specifically, the bear thesis of Intel losing loads of market share to AMD by the latter profiting from Intel’s 10nm delays, is finished. In fact, Intel even took some share back since Q4'20.\nGoing forward, while AMD certainly will continue to be competitive, I do not foresee AMD to ever again attain such a meaningful tech advantage that would act as a catalyst for broad adoption of AMD, like what had been the case when AMD moved to 7nm, while Intel had to continue to rely on 14nm. I showed this in six areas:\n\nIn laptops, Tiger Lake is already the overall superior overall platform when considering graphics and integrated Wi-Fi 6. Going forward, with Alder Lake, Intel will deliver an unmatched capability with its Hybrid Technology, also catching up on (or even surpassing in) core count and hence likely multi-threaded performance. Meanwhile, AMD won’t move to 5nm until 2023, when Intel may actually leverage TSMC’s 3nm besides its 7nm.\nIntel is also re-investing in the desktop, with Alder Lake, significantly improving competitiveness. Since the desktop remains AMD’s flagship platform, AMD will likely continue to have the upper hand, though.\nIntel is also re-entering the high-end desktop segment with Sapphire Rapids-X, skipping a hypothetical Ice Lake-X.\nIntel frankly is lucky that AMD hasn’t managed to take more market share in the data center. However, going forward with Sapphire Rapids and beyond, Intel will catch up: the performance crown will likely change sides with various product introductions. But that is the point: enterprises likely aren’t going to switch vendors with each new CPU release. Hence, just being competitive with an annual roadmap should suffice to largely stop the threat of severe market share losses. That is what Intel will deliver.\nGoing into the acquisition half a decade ago, Intel-Altera was one year behind to the 16/14nm generation. However, Intel caught up and achieved parity (or even leadership) at the 10/7nm generation.\nThe general outlook is that, going forward, process technology will matter less as Moore’s Law is slowing, and Intel and the industry is moving towards outsourcing, chiplets and even 3D stacking. More specifically, AMD is failing to transition to 5nm timely, making Intel's 7nm delays less relevant.\n\nIn short, AMD’s golden age started with the (coincidental) confluence of the launch of its Zen architecture and Intel’s multi-year 10nm delays. However, with 10nm now ramping, Intel is quickly regaining competitiveness. Furthermore, Intel’s willingness to leverage TSCM’s most leading edge processes, such as 3nm, even before AMD adopts those, further strengthens the point.\nBottom line\nWith that, the bearish thesis of Intel losing loads of market share to AMD, to prevent Intel from capitalizing on its many growth opportunities from cloud to 5G and IoT, is arguably definitely finished. However, Intel is still largely valued as if does not have these growth prospects. Hence, if the Street would reconsider this valuation, there may be upside.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":82,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379671128,"gmtCreate":1618735431264,"gmtModify":1704714465563,"author":{"id":"3573299881996779","authorId":"3573299881996779","name":"CocoPosh","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/818138cfd3c48ea6aad706cbda48c1d6","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573299881996779","authorIdStr":"3573299881996779"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy more","listText":"Buy more","text":"Buy more","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379671128","repostId":"1159260950","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1159260950","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618588467,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1159260950?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-16 23:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Pinterest sees worst drop in weeks as Cleveland hints at weak end to quarter","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1159260950","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"(April 16) Pinterest is 8% lower in the stock's worst one-day decline in weeks, alongside some inkli","content":"<p>(April 16)&nbsp;Pinterest&nbsp;is&nbsp;8% lower&nbsp;in the stock's worst one-day decline in weeks, alongside some inklings that the quarter mayhave fizzed at bit toward the end.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be61973b0714100964496b1b07cf4510\" tg-width=\"708\" tg-height=\"500\"></p>\n<p>Cleveland Research says Q1 looks like it ended softer than mid-quarter expectations would indicate, and some agencies/partners noting a deceleration from Q4 levels.</p>\n<p>And some omni-channel retailers are seeing Pinterest spending decelerating.

Energy outperformed with a 2.5% gain in the previous session amid a jump in oil prices.“Rates soared once again, which opened the door for more selling of technology stocks,” said Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at LPL Financial. “The bright side is the economy continues to improve and leadership from financials and energy is something that suggests this isn’t a sell everything moment.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":26,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":137472630,"gmtCreate":1622384344520,"gmtModify":1704183700038,"author":{"id":"3573299881996779","authorId":"3573299881996779","name":"CocoPosh","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/818138cfd3c48ea6aad706cbda48c1d6","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573299881996779","authorIdStr":"3573299881996779"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Miser]&nbsp;","listText":"[Miser]&nbsp;","text":"[Miser]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/137472630","repostId":"2138948877","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138948877","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"The leading daily newsletter for the latest financial and business news. 33Yrs Helping Stock Investors with Investing Insights, Tools, News & More.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Investors","id":"1085713068","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/608dd68a89ed486e18f64efe3136266c"},"pubTimestamp":1622215813,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2138948877?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-28 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Pandemic May Have Changed Vacations – And Travel Stocks Like Airbnb, Marriott, Winnebago – Forever","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138948877","media":"Investors","summary":"Vacation trends reveal shifts toward privacy, luxury and family, continuing a transformative period for leisure and travel stocks.","content":"<p>Your next vacation will likely be more private, luxurious or family oriented than your trips in the past, and business trips may never be the same.

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":59,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3575437443107611","authorId":"3575437443107611","name":"MoneyCum","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3575437443107611","authorIdStr":"3575437443107611"},"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":78,"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://community-static.tradeup.com/news/818138cfd3c48ea6aad706cbda48c1d6","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573299881996779","authorIdStr":"3573299881996779"},"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","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1615555989,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1192391495?lang=&edition=fundamental","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.

Uber’s Mr. Beri said the partnership appealed to him because Gopuff works directly with suppliers, getting better margins on what it sells. Its deliveries are faster because it operates its own warehouses and can plan to build new ones in neighborhoods where demand is high, he added.</p>\n<p>Executives at&nbsp;Walgreens Boots Alliance&nbsp;Inc.,which listed its products on DoorDash during the pandemic, say they were impressed the app could carry its entire range of 20,000 products online.</p>\n<p>“Other partners have said, ‘We’ll carry 2,000 of your items on our app,’ whereas DoorDash said, ‘We’ll carry everything on our app,’” said Stefanie Curley, Walgreens’s head of digital commerce.</p>\n<p>Uber, which operates in over 70 countries, says it is one of the biggest grocery delivery services in Mexico, Japan and Australia.

For leisure and travel stocks like <b>Airbnb</b> that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.</p><p>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.</p><p>\"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.\"</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><h2>Leisure, Travel Industry Stocks</h2><p>Shares 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.</p><p>Airline stocks&nbsp;like <b>American Airlines</b>, <b>United Airlines</b> and <b>Delta Air Lines</b> 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.</p><p>Cruise stocks like <b>Carnival</b>, <b>Royal Caribbean</b> and <b>Norwegian Cruise Line</b> are showing similar patterns.</p><p>Meanwhile, shares of boat makers <b>MarineMax</b> and <b>Brunswick</b> as well as RV makers <b>Winnebago</b> and <b>Thor Industries</b> 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.</p><p>Hotel leader <b>Marriott</b> has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.</p><p>Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a></b> 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.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury 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.</p><p>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.\"</p><p>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.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.</p><p>Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.</p><p>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.</p><p>Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.</p><p>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.</p><h2><b>Vacation Shift Favors These Travel Stocks</b></h2><p>Hotel 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes &amp; Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes &amp; 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.</p><p>\"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.</p><p>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.</p><p>\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.</p><h2><b>Seaworthy Travel Stocks </b></h2><p>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.</p><p>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.

The ensuing weeks have brought a&nbsp;surprisingly weak jobs report&nbsp;and a&nbsp;stronger-than-expected consumer inflation report, for example.</p>\n<p>And unlike&nbsp;last month’s meeting, there wasn’t an attention-grabbing selloff in Treasuries to command officials’ attention.

The ensuing weeks have brought a surprisingly weak jobs report and a stronger-than-expected consumer inflation report, for example.\nAnd unlike last month’s meeting, there wasn’t an attention-grabbing selloff in Treasuries to command officials’ attention.

Rather, the price does not align with thefundamentals of the asset.</b></i>\n <i>“</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>This definition is suitable for our discussion; there are three components of a&nbsp;<i>“bubble.”</i><i><b>The&nbsp;first two, price and valuation,</b></i>&nbsp;are readily dismissed during the inflation phase.&nbsp;Jeremy Grantham once produced the following chart of 40-years of price bubbles in the markets. During the inflation phase, each was readily dismissed under the guise&nbsp;<i>“this time is different.”</i></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/367ada4ec5d5a7c35f8e670e0224fc6b\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"342\"></p>\n<p><b>We are interested in the</b><b><i>“third”</i></b><b>&nbsp;component of</b><b><i>“bubbles,”</i></b><b>&nbsp;which is investor psychology.</b></p>\n<p><b>A Bubble In Psychology</b></p>\n<p>As&nbsp;<i><b>Howard Marks previously noted:</b></i></p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“It’s the swings of psychology that get people into the biggest trouble. Especially since investors’ emotions invariably swing in the wrong direction at the wrong time.</i>\n <i><b>When things are going well people become greedy and enthusiastic. When times are troubled, people become fearful and reticent. That’s just the wrong thing to do. It’s important to control fear and greed.”</b></i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Currently, it’s difficult for investors to become any more enthusiastic about market returns.&nbsp;<i>(</i><i><b>The RIAPro Fear/Greed Index</b></i><i>&nbsp;compiles measures of equity allocation and market sentiment. The index level is</i><i><b>not a component</b></i><i>&nbsp;of the measure that runs from 0 to 100.</i><i><b>The current reading is 99.9, which is a historical record.)</b></i></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/137bb4e88e92ca8b22df63ffc61e387c\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"334\"></p>\n<p>Such is an interesting juxtaposition. On the one hand, there is a rising recognition of a&nbsp;<i>“bubble,”</i>&nbsp;but investors are unwilling to reduce “equity risk” for&nbsp;<i>“fear of missing out or F.O.M.O.”</i>Such was a point noted explicitly by Mark:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i><b>“Rather than responding by taking some chips off the table, however, many began freely admitting a bubble formed.</b></i>\n <i>&nbsp;They no longer tried to justify higher prices on fundamentals. Rather,</i>\n <i><b>they justified it instead in terms of the market’s momentum.</b></i>\n <i>&nbsp;Prices should keep going up as FOMO seduces more investors to jump on the bandwagon.”</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>In other words, investors have fully adopted the&nbsp;<i>“Greater Fool Theory.”</i></p>\n<p>Okay, Boomer!</p>\n<p>I know. The discussion of&nbsp;<i>“valuations”</i>&nbsp;is an old-fashioned idea relegated to investors of an older era. Such was evident in the pushback on Charlie Munger’s comments about Bitcoin recently:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“</i>\n <i><b>While Munger has never been a bitcoin advocate, his dislike crystalized into something close to hatred.</b></i>\n <i>Looking back over the past 52 weeks, the reason for Munger’s anger becomes apparent with Berkshire rising only 50.5% against bitcoin’s more than 500% gain.”&nbsp;– Coindesk</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>In 1999, when Buffett spoke out against&nbsp;<i>“Dot.com”</i>&nbsp;stocks, he got dismissed with a similar ire of&nbsp;<b><i>“investing with Warren Buffett is like driving ‘Dad’s old Pontiac.'”</i></b></p>\n<p>Today, young investors are not interested in the&nbsp;<i>“pearls of wisdom”</i>&nbsp;from experienced investors. Today, they are&nbsp;<i>“out of touch,”</i>&nbsp;with the market’s<i>&nbsp;“new reality.”</i></p>\n<blockquote>\n <i><b>“The big benefit of TikTok is it allows users to dole out and obtain information in short, easily digestible video bites, also called TikToks.</b></i>\n <i>&nbsp;And that can make unfamiliar, complex topics, such as personal finance and investing, more palatable to a younger audience.That advice runs the gamut, from general information about home buying or retirement savings to specific stock picks and investment ideas.</i>\n <i><b>Rob Shields, a 22-year-old, self-taught options trader who has more than 163,000 followers on TikTok, posts TikToks under the username stock_genius on topics such as popular stocks to watch, how to find good stocks, and basic trading strategies.” –&nbsp;WSJ:</b></i>\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>Of course, the problem with information doled out by 22-year olds is they were 10-year olds during the last</b><i><b>“bear market.”</b></i>Given the lack of experience of investing during such a market, as opposed to Warren Buffett who has survived several, is the eventual destruction of capital.</p>\n<p><b>Plenty Of Analogies</b></p>\n<blockquote>\n <i><b>“There is no shortage of current analogies, of course. Take Dogecoin, created as a joke with no fundamental value.</b></i>\n <i>&nbsp;As a&nbsp;recent Wall Street Journal article outlined, the Dogecoin ‘serves no purpose and, unlike Bitcoin, faces no limit on the number of coins that exist.’</i>\n <i><b>Yet investors flock to it, for no other apparent reason than its sharp rise.</b></i>\n <i>&nbsp;Billy Markus, the co-creator of dogecoin, said to the Wall Street Journal, ‘This is absurd. I haven’t seen anything like it. It’s one of those things that once it starts going up, it might keep going up.’” – Mark Hulbert</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>That exuberance shows up with professionals as well.<b>&nbsp;As of the end of April, the National Association Of Investment Managers asset allocation was 103%.</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c412f208aa700b3f7ccb35d3b7d4e923\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"328\"></p>\n<p>As Dana Lyons noted previously:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “\n <i>Regardless of the investment acumen of any group (we think it is very high among NAAIM members),</i>\n <i><b>once the collective investment opinion or posture becomes too one-sided, it can be an indication that some market action may be necessary to correct such consensus.</b></i>\n <i>“</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>Give Me More</b></p>\n<p>Of course, margin debt, which is the epitome of “<i>speculative appetite,”</i>&nbsp;soared in recent months.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e11b088ecdf04d5036b4f5bb2d67c13d\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"327\"></p>\n<p>As stated,&nbsp;<i>“bubbles are about psychology,”</i>&nbsp;which the annual rate of change of leverage shows.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/422c963018723e8986826a89a32883e5\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"327\"></p>\n<p>Another form of leverage that doesn’t show up in margin debt is ETF’s structured to multiply market returns.

I</b>t does suggest that leverage, and speculative risk-taking, are likely much further advanced than currently recognized.</p>\n<p><b>Pushing Extremes</b></p>\n<p>Prices are ultimately affected by physics. Moving averages, trend lines, etc., all exert a gravitational pull on prices in both the short and long term.&nbsp;<b>Like a rubber band, when prices get stretched too far in one direction, they have always eventually</b><b><i>“reverted to the mean”</i></b><b>&nbsp;in the most brutal of manners.</b></p>\n<p>The chart below shows the long-term chart of the S&amp;P 500 broken down by several measures: 2 and 3-standard deviations, valuations, relative strength, and deviations from the 3-year moving average.&nbsp;<b>It is worth noting that both standard deviations and distance from the 3-year moving average are at a record.</b></p>\n<p><b>During the last 120-years, overvaluation and extreme deviations NEVER got resolved by markets going sideways.</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4fc311c3fdd527fd911070f7dd841545\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"590\"></p>\n<p>The only missing ingredient for such a correction currently is simply a catalyst to put&nbsp;<i>“fear”</i>&nbsp;into an overly complacent marketplace. Anything from economic disruption, a credit-related crisis, or an unexpected exogenous shock could start the&nbsp;<i>“panic for the exits.”</i></p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>There is more than adequate evidence a<i>&nbsp;“bubble”</i>&nbsp;exists in markets once again. However, as Mark noted in his commentary:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>‘I have no idea whether the stock market is actually forming a bubble that’s about to break.</i>\n <i><b>But I do know that many bulls are fooling themselves when they think a bubble can’t happen when there is such widespread concern.

To wit:\n“To appreciate how widespread current concern about a bubble is, consider the accompanying chart of data from Google Trends. It plots the relative frequency of Google searches based on the term ‘stock market bubble.’ Notice that this frequency has recently jumped to a far-higher level than at any other point over the last five years.”\nWhat Is A Bubble?\n\n“My confidence is rising quite rapidly that this is, in fact, becoming the fourth ‘real McCoy’ bubble of my investment career.\nThe great bubbles can go on a long time and inflict a lot of pain, but at least I think we know now that we’re in one.”\n –\nJeremy Grantham\n\nWhat is the definition of a bubble?  According to Investopedia:\n\n“A bubble is a market cycle that is characterized by the rapid escalation of market value, particularly in the price of assets.\nTypically, what creates a bubble is a surge in asset prices driven by exuberant market behavior.\n During a bubble, assets typically trade at a price\nthat greatly exceeds the asset’s intrinsic value. Rather, the price does not align with thefundamentals of the asset.\n“\n\nThis definition is suitable for our discussion; there are three components of a “bubble.”The first two, price and valuation, are readily dismissed during the inflation phase. Jeremy Grantham once produced the following chart of 40-years of price bubbles in the markets. During the inflation phase, each was readily dismissed under the guise “this time is different.”\n\nWe are interested in the“third” component of“bubbles,” which is investor psychology.\nA Bubble In Psychology\nAs Howard Marks previously noted:\n\n“It’s the swings of psychology that get people into the biggest trouble. Especially since investors’ emotions invariably swing in the wrong direction at the wrong time.\nWhen things are going well people become greedy and enthusiastic. When times are troubled, people become fearful and reticent. That’s just the wrong thing to do. It’s important to control fear and greed.”\n\nCurrently, it’s difficult for investors to become any more enthusiastic about market returns. (The RIAPro Fear/Greed Index compiles measures of equity allocation and market sentiment. The index level isnot a component of the measure that runs from 0 to 100.The current reading is 99.9, which is a historical record.)\n\nSuch is an interesting juxtaposition. On the one hand, there is a rising recognition of a “bubble,” but investors are unwilling to reduce “equity risk” for “fear of missing out or F.O.M.O.”Such was a point noted explicitly by Mark:\n\n“Rather than responding by taking some chips off the table, however, many began freely admitting a bubble formed.\n They no longer tried to justify higher prices on fundamentals. Rather,\nthey justified it instead in terms of the market’s momentum.\n Prices should keep going up as FOMO seduces more investors to jump on the bandwagon.”\n\nIn other words, investors have fully adopted the “Greater Fool Theory.”\nOkay, Boomer!\nI know. The discussion of “valuations” is an old-fashioned idea relegated to investors of an older era. Such was evident in the pushback on Charlie Munger’s comments about Bitcoin recently:\n\n“\nWhile Munger has never been a bitcoin advocate, his dislike crystalized into something close to hatred.\nLooking back over the past 52 weeks, the reason for Munger’s anger becomes apparent with Berkshire rising only 50.5% against bitcoin’s more than 500% gain.” – Coindesk\n\nIn 1999, when Buffett spoke out against “Dot.com” stocks, he got dismissed with a similar ire of “investing with Warren Buffett is like driving ‘Dad’s old Pontiac.'”\nToday, young investors are not interested in the “pearls of wisdom” from experienced investors. Today, they are “out of touch,” with the market’s “new reality.”\n\n“The big benefit of TikTok is it allows users to dole out and obtain information in short, easily digestible video bites, also called TikToks.\n And that can make unfamiliar, complex topics, such as personal finance and investing, more palatable to a younger audience.That advice runs the gamut, from general information about home buying or retirement savings to specific stock picks and investment ideas.\nRob Shields, a 22-year-old, self-taught options trader who has more than 163,000 followers on TikTok, posts TikToks under the username stock_genius on topics such as popular stocks to watch, how to find good stocks, and basic trading strategies.” – WSJ:\n\nOf course, the problem with information doled out by 22-year olds is they were 10-year olds during the last“bear market.”Given the lack of experience of investing during such a market, as opposed to Warren Buffett who has survived several, is the eventual destruction of capital.\nPlenty Of Analogies\n\n“There is no shortage of current analogies, of course. Take Dogecoin, created as a joke with no fundamental value.\n As a recent Wall Street Journal article outlined, the Dogecoin ‘serves no purpose and, unlike Bitcoin, faces no limit on the number of coins that exist.’\nYet investors flock to it, for no other apparent reason than its sharp rise.\n Billy Markus, the co-creator of dogecoin, said to the Wall Street Journal, ‘This is absurd. I haven’t seen anything like it. It’s one of those things that once it starts going up, it might keep going up.’” – Mark Hulbert\n\nThat exuberance shows up with professionals as well. As of the end of April, the National Association Of Investment Managers asset allocation was 103%.\n\nAs Dana Lyons noted previously:\n\n “\n Regardless of the investment acumen of any group (we think it is very high among NAAIM members),\nonce the collective investment opinion or posture becomes too one-sided, it can be an indication that some market action may be necessary to correct such consensus.\n“\n\nGive Me More\nOf course, margin debt, which is the epitome of “speculative appetite,” soared in recent months.\n\nAs stated, “bubbles are about psychology,” which the annual rate of change of leverage shows.\n\nAnother form of leverage that doesn’t show up in margin debt is ETF’s structured to multiply market returns. These funds have seen record inflows in recent months.\n\nWith margin debt reaching levels not seen since the peak of the last cyclical bull market cycle, it should raise some concerns about sustainability. It is NOT the level of leverage that is the problem as leverage increases buying power as markets are rising. The unwinding of this leverage is critically dangerous in the market as the acceleration of“margin calls” leads to a vicious downward spiral.\nImportantly, this chart does not meanthat a massive market correction is imminent. It does suggest that leverage, and speculative risk-taking, are likely much further advanced than currently recognized.\nPushing Extremes\nPrices are ultimately affected by physics. Moving averages, trend lines, etc., all exert a gravitational pull on prices in both the short and long term. Like a rubber band, when prices get stretched too far in one direction, they have always eventually“reverted to the mean” in the most brutal of manners.\nThe chart below shows the long-term chart of the S&P 500 broken down by several measures: 2 and 3-standard deviations, valuations, relative strength, and deviations from the 3-year moving average. It is worth noting that both standard deviations and distance from the 3-year moving average are at a record.\nDuring the last 120-years, overvaluation and extreme deviations NEVER got resolved by markets going sideways.\n\nThe only missing ingredient for such a correction currently is simply a catalyst to put “fear” into an overly complacent marketplace. Anything from economic disruption, a credit-related crisis, or an unexpected exogenous shock could start the “panic for the exits.”\nConclusion\nThere is more than adequate evidence a “bubble” exists in markets once again. However, as Mark noted in his commentary:\n\n‘I have no idea whether the stock market is actually forming a bubble that’s about to break.\nBut I do know that many bulls are fooling themselves when they think a bubble can’t happen when there is such widespread concern. In fact, one of the distinguishing characteristics of a bubble is just that.”\n\nHowever, he concludes with the most important statement:\n\n“It’s important for all of us to be aware of this bubble psychology,\nbut especially if you’re a retiree or a near-retiree. That’s because, in that case, your investment horizon is far shorter than for those who are younger.\nTherefore, you are less able to recover from the deflation of a market bubble.”\n\nRead that statement again.\nMillennials are quick to dismiss the “Boomers” in the financial markets today for “not getting it.”\nNo, we get it. We have just been around long enough to know how these things eventually end.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":53,"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://community-static.tradeup.com/news/818138cfd3c48ea6aad706cbda48c1d6","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573299881996779","authorIdStr":"3573299881996779"},"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":46,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":101867139,"gmtCreate":1619878873721,"gmtModify":1704336004159,"author":{"id":"3573299881996779","authorId":"3573299881996779","name":"CocoPosh","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/818138cfd3c48ea6aad706cbda48c1d6","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573299881996779","authorIdStr":"3573299881996779"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Solid company!","listText":"Solid company!","text":"Solid company!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/101867139","repostId":"2132603015","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2132603015","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1619872075,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2132603015?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-01 20:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Berkshire Hathaway Q1 Earnings Here！","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2132603015","media":"Reuters","summary":"May 1 (Reuters) - Berkshire Hathaway Inc   :Full report here！* Q1 NET EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO BERKS","content":"<p>May 1 (Reuters) - Berkshire Hathaway Inc   :</p><p><a href=\"https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/qtrly/1stqtr21.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Full report here！</a></p><p>* Q1 NET EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO BERKSHIRE SHAREHOLDERS $11.71 BILLION VERSUS YEAR-EARLIER $49.75 BILLION LOSS</p><p>* Q1 OPERATING EARNINGS $7.02 BILLION VERSUS $5.87 BILLION</p><p>* Q1 NET EARNINGS PER AVERAGE EQUIVALENT CLASS A SHARE $7,638</p><p>* Q1 NET EARNINGS FROM INVESTMENT AND DERIVATIVE GAINS $4.69 BILLION VERSUS YEAR-EARLIER $55.62 BILLION NET LOSS</p><p>* AT MARCH 31, 2021, INSURANCE FLOAT WAS ABOUT $140 BILLION, INCREASE OF ABOUT $2 BILLION SINCE YEAREND 2020</p><p>* ABOUT $6.6 BILLION WAS USED TO PURCHASE SHARES OF CLASS A AND CLASS B COMMON STOCK DURING THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2021</p><p>Source text for Eikon:    Further company coverage:</p><p><a href=\"https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/qtrly/1stqtr21.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Full article of Berkshire Hathaway Q1 report</a></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
