The millions of high-end graphics cards that are used for this will no longer beneeded for the new &#34;proof-of-stake&#34; approach, so that most of these will likely find their way into the used card market. This will depress demand for new graphics cards just when Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is set to announce its next-generation GeForce 40 series.</p><p><b>Ethereum completes its transition to proof-of-stake, ending lucrative and energy consuming &#34;mining&#34;</b></p><p>The transition of Ethereum to proof-of-stake was called the Merge because it involved combining the parallel block chain that was already using proof-of-stake experimentally with the main block chain that was using traditional mining, called proof-of-work. This is shown below in this diagram from the Ethereum Foundation:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4872c823bfeb3e06182d2d3f6ab87879\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"574\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Ethereum.org</span></p><p>Mining was really just transaction processing, in which a number of Ethereum transactions would be bundled into a block and encrypted. But the encryption process was made artificially difficult, requiring millions of high end graphics cards in the mining pool to process a block in a reasonable period of time.</p><p>In the new proof-of-stake approach, the artificial difficulty is removed, so that hardware requirements can be met by almost any computer, ending the need for graphics card processing and the attendant energy consumption. Ethereum claims this will reduce energy consumption by 99.95%.</p><p>Some miners may go to work on a &#34;hard fork&#34; of Ethereum, in effect, a secession of the currency into a new one called EthereumPOW. This currency will continue to use proof-of-work, but it&#39;s unclear whether mining this will be profitable.</p><p>Probably, the vast majority of cards will go on the used card market and be sold on venues such as eBay.</p><p><b>Correcting the Ethereum hash rate model to account for used graphics card sales</b></p><p>Following Nvidia&#39;s revised guidance for its fiscal 2023 Q2, I realized that I needed to revise my model of Ethereum-related sales of graphics cards. I had published an article detailing the model in July.</p><p>The problem with the model was that it only accounted for sales into the Ethereum mining pool when the pool was adding capacity, i.e., adding new cards to the pool. It worked fine as long as the pool was still growing.</p><p>However, starting in mid-May, the Ethereum mining pool hash rate, a measure of mining capacity, started to decline, as shown in the following chart from BitInfoCharts:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fe36f2d53f47c0d7e5cdf964d09c67fa\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"408\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>BinInfoCharts</span></p><p>This implied that a substantial number of graphics cards were being removed from the pool. If I assumed that these cards were comparable to current generation Nvidia and AMD (AMD) cards, then it was reasonable to assume that every used card sold was a lost new card sale.</p><p>This turned out to account very well for Nvidia&#39;s fiscal Q2 results, if we assume that a normal quarterly revenue in Nvidia&#39;s Gaming segment is about $2.5 billion. During the Fiscal Q2 conference call, Nvidia specifically claimed that this would be their normal average Gaming segment revenue without crypto. In my spreadsheet calculations, it was easy to calculate the used card effect simply by allowing the change in mining pool cards to go negative, with a negative net revenue for the cards:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8223bcd7d3f44c30f5c60970c616fe0f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"393\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Mark Hibben</span></p><p>Note that the revenue impact doesn&#39;t only fall on Nvidia, but the timing of Nvidia&#39;s fiscal Q2 lined up better with the fall in Ethereum mining capacity and likely release of cards into the used card market. AMD will likely feel the impact in its Q3 results.</p><p><b>The impact of the Merge on Nvidia&#39;s sales will be, at best, ugly</b></p><p>The model provides a means of anticipating what happens when the Ethereum hash rate effectively goes to zero, post Merge. And it&#39;s not pretty. In an article on August 21, I gave my subscribers a heads-up concerning the impact of the Merge, and I further revised my model results on September 11.</p><p>If we assume that the entire mining pool consists of newer graphics cards released since September 2020 (RTX 30 series for Nvidia), then Nvidia&#39;s RTX 30 series sales for Q3 are completely wiped out, as shown in the spreadsheet calculations extended to Q3:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c00465fed542c67659f55786fcdf366b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"358\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Mark Hibben</span></p><p>The model deducts the hash rate contribution due to Nvidia Crypto Mining Processors (CMP). These cannot be sold into the used graphics cards market, since they lack display outputs.</p><p>This amounts to assuming that all of the cards used in mining before September 2020 (about when the RTX 30 series launched) were replaced with newer cards. This probably isn&#39;t absolutely correct, and the mining pool has consisted of a mixture of older and newer cards.</p><p>As a lower bound, we can assume that none of the older cards were replaced. These cards would not impact new card sales, since they aren&#39;t comparable to current generation cards. The model can deduct these cards from the calculated revenue impact by simply deducting the pre-September 2020 hash rate of 228.2361 terahash/sec (THASH) for the mining pool:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac0a909d1edae7870adea14e3f987d28\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"351\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Mark Hibben</span></p><p>So the lost revenue impact for Nvidia looks to be in the range of $2-3 billion, and it probably won&#39;t fall all in Q3 but be distributed over several quarters. The effect of the Merge is to effectively zero out Nvidia&#39;s crypto revenue over time. The revenue made during Ethereum&#39;s mining pool expansion is negated by lost revenue post Merge, with the exception of CMP revenue and revenue from older graphics cards that might still have been in the pool at the time of the Merge.</p><p><b>How will the Merge affect Nvidia&#39;s expected RTX 40 series launch?</b></p><p>Nvidia has been expected to announce its GeForce RTX 40 series cards for some time, and Nvidia posted this announcement on its website:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5c5990337b62c49447e21da39a199e14\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"400\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Nvidia</span></p><p>Various tech pundits are claiming that this is the worst time for Nvidia to launch a new generation of gaming graphics cards. One important feature expected of the RTX 40 series is support for PCIE 5.0. This could be important in reducing the impact of the Ethereum Merge.</p><p>The current generation of Nvidia and AMD cards only support PCIE 4.0, the prevailing standard at the time of their introduction in late 2020. PCIE 5.0 will double the communication bandwidth compared to 4.0. It&#39;s not clear how critical that will be to gaming performance, but it should eliminate PCIE as a bottleneck, if it ever was.</p><p>Just as important, new generation CPUs will have to support PCIE 5.0, since the GPU is typically linked directly to the CPU through a built in PCIE 16 lane (x16) interface. This is the preferred architecture for maximum gaming performance, and all modern CPUs provide at least 16 lanes of PCIE for this purpose.</p><p>Intel (INTC) already supports PCIE 5.0 in its latest Alder Lake 12th generation Core series of desktop CPUs. Since Alder Lake launched early this year, there have been no PCIE 5.0 graphics cards to take advantage of the interface, but the current installed base of Alder Lake systems represents a waiting market for the new PCIE 5.0 cards.</p><p>Unfortunately, I don&#39;t have an estimate of Alder Lake sales, so I have no idea what the size of that market might be. Current generation AMD Ryzen 5000 series desktop CPUs only offer PCIE 4.0, but the Ryzen 7000 series has been announced with support for PCIE 5.0, with a launch expected in October. AMD&#39;s next-generation GPUs have only been &#34;teased&#34; but are expected to support PCIE 5.0 as well.</p><p>The performance desktop market (mostly gamers) is moving rapidly to PCIE 5.0, and Nvidia will have, at least for a few months, the only graphics cards that support it. Gamers tend to be early adopters and favor the highest performance technology.</p><p>Since<i>none</i>of the used cards released from the Merge will support PCIE 5.0, this may serve to somewhat isolate the RTX 40 series launch from the impact of the Merge. How much isolation is still unclear.</p><p>Most of the current population of gaming systems will only support PCIE 4.0, so this part of the market would probably not buy RTX 40 series in any case. Most 40 series sales will go into new system builds.</p><p>Certainly, the impact of the Merge will be to weaken sales of the RTX 40 series at launch. However, overall sales in the Gaming segment will probably benefit from the launch. The 40 series launch will give the segment a revenue stream it would not have had otherwise.</p><p><b>Investor takeaways: will Nvidia need to restate guidance for this quarter?</b></p><p>Nvidia guided to revenue of $5.9 billion for fiscal Q3 during the Q2 conference call, and this implies revenue in the gaming segment of about $1 billion. Did Nvidia account for the Merge in their guidance?</p><p>When asked specifically about the impact of the Merge, Nvidia management had no comment, and professed an inability to account for the crypto impact. The guidance was claimed to be due to a retail channel inventory glut.</p><p>If Nvidia really wasn&#39;t accounting for the Merge, then almost certainly it will need to restate guidance for Q3. Probably, the RTX 40 series launch will not be enough to provide the roughly $1 billion in Gaming segment revenue.</p><p>In my Nvidia integrated financial model, I&#39;m assuming a $3 billion hit due to the Merge and another $1 billion due to inventory correction. In the model, this is distributed over the next four quarters from fiscal 2023 Q3 to fiscal 2024 Q2, with Gaming segment sales only starting to recover in fiscal 2024 Q3.</p><p>Despite this, I&#39;m still modeling growth in the all-important Data Center segment. Nvidia&#39;s next-generation data center accelerator, the Hopper H100, is testing out to be very impressive and is in production now with deliveries expected by the end of the calendar year.</p><p>Hopper should ensure continued growth in the Data Center segment, and the advent of Grace, Nvidia&#39;s ARM architecture CPU for the data center, should further enhance growth.

The millions of high-end graphics cards that are used for this will no longer beneeded for the new \"proof-of-stake\" approach, so that most of these will likely find their way into the used card market. This will depress demand for new graphics cards just when Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is set to announce its next-generation GeForce 40 series.Ethereum completes its transition to proof-of-stake, ending lucrative and energy consuming \"mining\"The transition of Ethereum to proof-of-stake was called the Merge because it involved combining the parallel block chain that was already using proof-of-stake experimentally with the main block chain that was using traditional mining, called proof-of-work. This is shown below in this diagram from the Ethereum Foundation:Ethereum.orgMining was really just transaction processing, in which a number of Ethereum transactions would be bundled into a block and encrypted. But the encryption process was made artificially difficult, requiring millions of high end graphics cards in the mining pool to process a block in a reasonable period of time.In the new proof-of-stake approach, the artificial difficulty is removed, so that hardware requirements can be met by almost any computer, ending the need for graphics card processing and the attendant energy consumption. Ethereum claims this will reduce energy consumption by 99.95%.Some miners may go to work on a \"hard fork\" of Ethereum, in effect, a secession of the currency into a new one called EthereumPOW. This currency will continue to use proof-of-work, but it's unclear whether mining this will be profitable.Probably, the vast majority of cards will go on the used card market and be sold on venues such as eBay.Correcting the Ethereum hash rate model to account for used graphics card salesFollowing Nvidia's revised guidance for its fiscal 2023 Q2, I realized that I needed to revise my model of Ethereum-related sales of graphics cards. I had published an article detailing the model in July.The problem with the model was that it only accounted for sales into the Ethereum mining pool when the pool was adding capacity, i.e., adding new cards to the pool. It worked fine as long as the pool was still growing.However, starting in mid-May, the Ethereum mining pool hash rate, a measure of mining capacity, started to decline, as shown in the following chart from BitInfoCharts:BinInfoChartsThis implied that a substantial number of graphics cards were being removed from the pool. If I assumed that these cards were comparable to current generation Nvidia and AMD (AMD) cards, then it was reasonable to assume that every used card sold was a lost new card sale.This turned out to account very well for Nvidia's fiscal Q2 results, if we assume that a normal quarterly revenue in Nvidia's Gaming segment is about $2.5 billion. During the Fiscal Q2 conference call, Nvidia specifically claimed that this would be their normal average Gaming segment revenue without crypto. In my spreadsheet calculations, it was easy to calculate the used card effect simply by allowing the change in mining pool cards to go negative, with a negative net revenue for the cards:Mark HibbenNote that the revenue impact doesn't only fall on Nvidia, but the timing of Nvidia's fiscal Q2 lined up better with the fall in Ethereum mining capacity and likely release of cards into the used card market. AMD will likely feel the impact in its Q3 results.The impact of the Merge on Nvidia's sales will be, at best, uglyThe model provides a means of anticipating what happens when the Ethereum hash rate effectively goes to zero, post Merge. And it's not pretty. In an article on August 21, I gave my subscribers a heads-up concerning the impact of the Merge, and I further revised my model results on September 11.If we assume that the entire mining pool consists of newer graphics cards released since September 2020 (RTX 30 series for Nvidia), then Nvidia's RTX 30 series sales for Q3 are completely wiped out, as shown in the spreadsheet calculations extended to Q3:Mark HibbenThe model deducts the hash rate contribution due to Nvidia Crypto Mining Processors (CMP). These cannot be sold into the used graphics cards market, since they lack display outputs.This amounts to assuming that all of the cards used in mining before September 2020 (about when the RTX 30 series launched) were replaced with newer cards. This probably isn't absolutely correct, and the mining pool has consisted of a mixture of older and newer cards.As a lower bound, we can assume that none of the older cards were replaced. These cards would not impact new card sales, since they aren't comparable to current generation cards. The model can deduct these cards from the calculated revenue impact by simply deducting the pre-September 2020 hash rate of 228.2361 terahash/sec (THASH) for the mining pool:Mark HibbenSo the lost revenue impact for Nvidia looks to be in the range of $2-3 billion, and it probably won't fall all in Q3 but be distributed over several quarters.

Traders of derivatives-like instruments known as fixings now expect August’s annual headline inflation rate to be 8.1%, down from 8.5% in July. They also see the rate gradually declining to 7.7% for September, 6.9% for October, almost 6.4% for November, and 6.1% for December. The problem is that the decline still likely won’t be nearly enough to put an end to continued rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, or the market volatility that accompanies them.</p><p>The reason is that the number that matters almost as much as the annual headline CPI rate is the so-called core reading, which kicks out volatile food and energy prices, said Gang Hu, an inflation trader with New York hedge fund WinShore Capital Partners. By his calculations, headline inflation readings at these levels through year-end imply monthly core readings of 0.3%, or 3.6% on a 12-month basis.</p><p>“There’s been quite a bit of change after the last CPI report, and the market definitely sees readings that are a fair amount lower than where they were before,” Hu said via phone on Monday. “You could have a relief rally in bonds and equities if these numbers are realized, but I don’t think the relief rally is going to stay.”</p><p>“The Fed is going to hike 75 basis points next week, to above 3%. But core inflation is stabilizing around the wrong levels, and if you have inflation at 0.3% for the next three to four months, the job is not done and the Fed will have to keep going,” Hu said via phone. “We don’t know how much further the Fed will have to keep going or when is going to be enough.”</p><p>Hu isn’t alone in his views. Robert Conzo, chief executive and managing director of The Wealth Alliance in Melville, New York, which oversees $1.5 billion, said that while he thinks CPI is on a downward trend, the degree to which that happens and just how sticky inflation may remain is still unknown. Once those trends become more apparent, that will give the Fed a firm direction, he said in an email.

Struggling with debt from an ill-timed $38 billion deal, Chief ExecutiveVicki Hollubwas fending off activist investorCarl Icahn, who controlled two board seats.</p><p>Two years later, the company has emerged as the top performer in the S&amp;P 500, and Ms. Hollub has traded Mr. Icahn, who sold all of his Occidental shares in March, for Warren Buffett, whoseBerkshire Hathaway Inc. now owns more than 20% of the company.</p><p>It was touch and go for a time. Months before the pandemic took hold, she implemented widespread layoffs. To stave off bankruptcy after oil prices collapsed in 2020, she slashed spending and nearly eliminated Occidental’s once-sacrosanct dividend—“the biggest and toughest decision that I made and I’ve ever made in my career,” she said in an interview.</p><p>Her 2019 acquisition of rival Anadarko Petroleum Corp., which Mr. Icahn called a “disaster,” has given Occidental the dominant position in the largest U.S. shale-oil field, the Permian Basin. Lifted by climbing oil prices, Occidental generated a record $4.35 billion in free cash flow and $3.7 billion in profit in the second quarter. It has cut its debt to $22 billion from nearly $36 billion a year ago.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61847881fba325e1dc5c7ed3280e29db\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Oil-and-gas producers have reported banner profits this year, even as a global energy crisis sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has threatened to derail European industries, left the U.K. facing its worst economic crisis since the 1970s and forced the Netherlands, Germany and India to rely heavily on coal to make up for a dearth of natural gas.</p><p>But Ms. Hollub, the first woman to be CEO of a major U.S. oil company, says she doesn’t feel vindicated. “I just feel relief,” she said. “There were a lot of doubters.”</p><p>Mr. Buffett has publicly lauded Ms. Hollub’s leadership. After she detailed the company’s future plans for analysts in February, Mr. Buffett told his own shareholders, “What Vicki Hollub was saying made nothing but sense.” Last month, Berkshire received regulatory approval to buy up to 50% of the oil company’s shares, spurring speculation it might seek to purchase all of Occidental.</p><p>Mr. Buffett declined to comment for this story. Ms. Hollub said she has “tremendous respect” for Mr. Buffett, adding that “he will be very beneficial for us as we go forward.” She declined to discuss the possibility of Berkshire purchasing the entire company.</p><p>Some former investors remain skeptical, saying a spike in oil prices has rescued the company, not Ms. Hollub.</p><p>“I have nothing personal against Vicki,” Mr. Icahn said in an interview. “However, that will never change my mind that she should not have made a bet-the-company investment by way of overpaying for Anadarko.”</p><p>A University of Alabama graduate, Ms. Hollub joined Occidental in 1982 and soon found herself running operations in Russia and Venezuela. She almost got laid off in 2003, butTodd Stevens, an executive at the company who had followed her rise, arranged for her to lead a team evaluating acreage in Colorado, said Mr. Stevens, who has since left.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bf58d7d767a23cfb352e019504bafa44\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Equipment used to process carbon dioxide, crude oil and water at an Occidental Petroleum project in Hobbs, N.M.PHOTO:ERNEST SCHEYDER/REUTERS</span></p><p>Ms. Hollub became known as a hard worker, once spending three weeks straightening out operations at a new gas field’s first well, said Donnie Enns, a former geophysicist who worked under her. “Nobody worked harder than Vicki,” he said. She also found time to run an office March Madness basketball pool.</p><p>After being named CEO of the company in 2016, Ms. Hollub departed from her predecessor’s preference for low-risk, “bolt-on” transactions. A little over a year into the job, she started courting Anadarko, an oil producer of comparable size, for a deal.</p><p>She outflanked largerChevronCorp. in a bidding war that riveted the oil patch, offering $5 billion more than her rival for Anadarko and its prized assets in the epicenter of U.S. shale production. Yet victory came at a steep cost.</p><p>Some of Occidental’s largest shareholders decried the deal—especially a pricey loan from Mr. Buffett in the form of $10 billion in preferred stock paying 8% annually in dividends, or $800 million. Ms. Hollub negotiated the funding at the eleventh hour after meeting with the financier in Omaha, Neb. Mr. Icahn, who first bought stock as the Anadarko bidding war came to a close, wrote to Occidental shareholders that “Buffett figuratively took her to the cleaners.”</p><p>Ms. Hollub acknowledged the deal damaged the company’s standing with some investors. “I was never offended at the fact that our shareholders were skeptical,” she said.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/58cf5cd81991220ec1f42821cee2554b\" tg-width=\"639\" tg-height=\"959\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Vicki Hollub said she never doubted the wisdom of the Anadarko acquisition.PHOTO:ANGELA OWENS/THE WALL STREET JOURNAL</span></p><p>But she said she never doubted the wisdom of the acquisition, even after it sparked an investor revolt that created an opportunity for Mr. Icahn.</p><p>Central to Ms. Hollub’s strategy was building on Occidental’s already-large position in the oil-rich Permian of West Texas and New Mexico. She believed purchasing and drilling a huge swath of new acreage, much of it near the company’s existing assets, would give Occidental economies of scale and allow it to outperform Permian rivals. Occidental, she said, was one of the most technologically advanced drillers in the field; it would turn Anadarko’s undeveloped assets into oil-gushing wells.</p><p>By the end of 2019, the oil producer said it was making progress on its merger goals. It had divested itself of more than $6 billion in assets, including stakes in a liquefied natural gas export project in Mozambique and in a Houston-based pipeline company. Occidental recorded single-day and monthly production records in the Permian and other oil fields. Occidental announced its 182nd consecutive quarterly dividend, which Ms. Hollub noted at the time that “few other companies can claim.”</p><p>Ms. Hollub believed the merger was on track, but investors remained skeptical. From the time of Occidental’s counteroffer for Anadarko in April 2019 to February 2020 Occidental’s stock fell around 35%. Then the global pandemic took hold.</p><p>As billions of people around the world began to lock down, demand for oil plummeted. In the spring, oil prices reached historic lows, briefly turning negative for the first time ever as traders paid counterparties to take oil off their hands. Falling demand for their product hammered oil-and-gas companies, forcing dozens into bankruptcy.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9090db9eab1ac4c91bd5b1b441d26206\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Gasoline prices sank in April 2020 after the global pandemic caused oil prices to drop below zero.PHOTO:FREDERIC J. BROWN/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES</span></p><p>Every day, Ms. Hollub would drive to Occidental’s Houston offices in her red Jeep Wrangler, said Glenn Vangolen, a former senior vice president at Occidental and close adviser to the CEO. Mondays and Fridays, she and her lieutenants would mask up and gather in a conference room to discuss operations. Her office was spartan—a mostly bare room, except for a TV playing business news on mute, and a plush stuffed version of a costumed elephant, the Alabama Crimson Tide’s mascot, Mr. Vangolen said.</p><p>Occidental was in a worse situation than many of its peers: At the end of 2019, its long-term debt of about $39 billion was equivalent to roughly four times its earnings, excluding interest, taxes and other accounting items, quadruple the ratio from a year earlier, S&amp;P Capital IQ data show. The divestitures it had planned on to pay it down were no longer viable as assets were losing value.</p><p>Ms. Hollub said that Occidental made a lot of the difficult decisions before the pandemic to mitigate the downside risks of the Anadarko acquisition, including hedging a portion of its oil production and bumping its line of credit to $5 billion. But the company still faced painful months ahead as it had barely enough cash on hand to meet debt maturities coming due in 2021 and was later forced to hire restructuring advisers.</p><p>Ms. Hollub moved to cut her executives’ salaries—including her own by 81%—offer employees voluntary buy-outs, slash expenses in the oil patch and cancel employee perks. She also cut the dividend, which rankled investors.</p><p>Mr. Icahn amplified his calls for Ms. Hollub’s ouster and said he would seek to replace the entire board of directors at the company’s annual meeting. As the oil producer’s stock plunged to under $10 from around $45 before the pandemic, Mr. Icahn—facing paper losses of about $1 billion—doubled down on his shares, boosting his stake to roughly 10% from about 2%.</p><p>After a price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia caused oil prices to plunge below $25 a barrel in March, Occidental reached a settlement with Mr. Icahn. The deal gave board seats to two of his deputies and added another director, required Occidental to create an oversight committee that must be informed of any offers to acquire the company or its assets, and replaced the board chairman withStephen Chazen, Ms. Hollub’s predecessor as CEO.</p><p>Mr. Icahn’s camp pushed for Occidental to give its shareholders warrants that could allow them to buy discounted shares in the future. After he prevailed, Mr. Icahn received roughly 11 million warrants initially and bought more when they were worth around $3.</p><p>Mr. Vangolen said Mr. Icahn’s demand for warrants was part of the investor’s “raider playbook,” which he described as “trying to extract as much cash out of the business as you can before you bail.”</p><p>Mr. Icahn said that all the shareholders who rode the stock down deserved something for their loyalty.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3af2c050a88b00dd9846de958b65be1b\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>A crude oil pump jack in the Permian Basin in Loving County, Texas.PHOTO:ANGUS MORDANT/REUTERS</span></p><p>As the pandemic dragged on, Occidental logged a roughly $14.8 billion loss for 2020, its largest on record, according to S&amp;P Capital IQ data. Still, it continued to whittle down its mammoth debt, closing around $2.5 billion in asset sales at the end of 2020. Anadarko’s assets, meanwhile, were starting to shine, with production in the Permian reaching the high end of company estimates.</p><p>Even as Ms. Hollub wrestled with Mr. Icahn, she was building a relationship with Mr. Buffett.</p><p>In 2020, she traveled to Omaha to discuss Occidental&#39;s long-term strategy with Mr. Buffett, according to a person familiar with the meeting. The investor expressed a strong interest in the company&#39;s goal to become a leader in carbon capture, this person said.</p><p>Occidental says it has no plans to stop producing oil but also aims to be a leader in &#34;carbon management.&#34; It wants to develop 70 plants by 2035 to suck carbon dioxide out of the air, store it in the ground and sell carbon credits to businesses seeking to offset their own emissions -- a technology still in its commercial infancy that received a boost thanks to tax credits included in the climate package President Biden signed into law last month. The company also plans to use the gas to squeeze more oil from underground.</p><p>Then, in late February of this year, Russia invaded Ukraine.</p><p>The war propelled oil prices to their highest level in years, with Brent crude oil topping $120 in March, translating into a windfall for oil companies. In the first quarter of the year, Occidental made roughly $4.9 billion in profit, its highest quarterly earnings on record, according to S&amp;P Capital IQ.</p><p>The company now holds the most acreage across the Permian, with leases covering about 2.8 million net acres, according to data firm Enverus. Its domestic oil output in the second quarter of this year was up roughly 80% compared with before it acquired Anadarko, Occidental reported.</p><p>As Occidental&#39;s stock rose above $50 a share in March, Mr. Icahn sold his common stake. The investor&#39;s two representatives on Occidental&#39;s board also resigned, as was required by the settlement agreement.

In the first quarter of the year, Occidental made roughly $4.9 billion in profit, its highest quarterly earnings on record, according to S&P Capital IQ.The company now holds the most acreage across the Permian, with leases covering about 2.8 million net acres, according to data firm Enverus. Its domestic oil output in the second quarter of this year was up roughly 80% compared with before it acquired Anadarko, Occidental reported.As Occidental's stock rose above $50 a share in March, Mr. Icahn sold his common stake. The investor's two representatives on Occidental's board also resigned, as was required by the settlement agreement. Mr. Icahn made over $1.5 billion on his investment and still holds some warrants, according to public filings and people familiar with the matter.As Mr. Icahn got out of the stock, Mr. Buffett bought in. In May, Berkshire reported it had purchased roughly $8 billion worth of shares.Mr. Icahn said that Mr. Buffett's investment could be ill-timed. \"I respect Buffett a lot but I think buying this stock at this level is obviously not like buying warrants at $3,\" he said. \"I made a great deal of money on my investment in Occidental, especially with the warrants, and activism worked in that regard,\" he said.Ms. Hollub and Mr. Buffett have developed a personal relationship and the two talk periodically, said Mr. Vangolen. Ms. Hollub said in an interview she had no personal relationship with Mr. Icahn when he was an investor, and that he turned out not to be the kind of long-term shareholder the company prizes.Mr. Icahn's retort: \"She came very close to not being a long-term shareholder also, because her ill-timed investment put the company on the brink of bankruptcy.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":131,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9936882796,"gmtCreate":1662742006015,"gmtModify":1676537131823,"author":{"id":"3573789293829232","authorId":"3573789293829232","name":"btoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a7c2d714604fc804a48646ee397f912","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"K","listText":"K","text":"K","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9936882796","repostId":"1112372995","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1112372995","pubTimestamp":1662737064,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1112372995?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-09-09 23:24","market":"uk","language":"en","title":"The Passing of the Second Elizabethan Age","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1112372995","media":"businesstimes","summary":"The end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II (1952-2022) calls for some comparison with the reign of Q","content":"<div>\n<p>The end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II (1952-2022) calls for some comparison with the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558-1603).The two Elizabethan periods are studies in contrast.

The first age corresponded with the arrival of Renaissance England as a major European power that would go on to found the largest empire on earth, while the second age saw the contraction, decline and ultimate fall of imperial Britain.However, the two monarchs presided over the national destiny with an instinctive grasp of the necessity and possibilities of change, a trait that unites them over and above the differences between the times over which they presided.Elizabeth I altered the intellectual contours of Tudor England forever. Her personal interest in the arts contributed to an unprecedented literary Renaissance in England, particularly in drama, that occurred in a climate of thought suffused with a renewed emphasis on the study of the Greek and Roman classics. Even as the rediscovery of the ancients gave the English mind a firm foundation in the passage of European time, the great voyages of Hawkins, Raleigh and Drake expanded the geographical horizons of Britain to the New World.On the domestic religious front, she represented a necessary quest for balance and moderation in times of flux. The Elizabethan Settlement, introduced between 1558 and 1563, continued the English Reformation which had been inaugurated during the reign of her flamboyant father, Henry VIII, but the settlement sought to reconcile Roman Catholicism and radical Protestantism and turned the Anglican church into a lasting reality.The social harmony that the British take for granted today speaks of a larger national tradition of moderation which abhors extremes of political action – there has never been a serious prospect of the country going either communist or fascist – as much as of religious affiliation. The secular nature of British polity, in spite of the Queen’s formal position as Head of the Church of England, is a constant that has drawn refugees fleeing religious prosecution in their home countries to Britain down the turbulent centuries.These are some elements of the legacy of the First Elizabethan Age that the Second Elizabethan Age inherited – and built on. In the case of Elizabeth II, her ability to stay above everyday political fray in a constitutional monarchy made her Britain’s quintessentially national institution.Her first and last love lay in upholding the monarchy as an impartial arbiter concerned only with the preservation of Britain’s national interests. Of course, national interests change, but they remain interests nevertheless. It is to those that she was committed, no matter how much the Tories, Labour and the Liberal Democrats might disagree over the means to that end. She must have held her own views on the direction that Britain was taking and made them clear in private, but she maintained the uttermost discretion when pronouncing on national and other affairs in the public domain.In international affairs, her ability to manage Britain’s relative decline after World War II reveals a stoic acceptance of change but also a radical desire to make the most of it. Imperial retreat in the Suez Crisis of 1956 marked a decisive turning point. She accepted that the sun would set on the British Empire, but that did not mean that the sun would not rise again on the empire remade – as Commonwealth.The British Commonwealth took on such a life of its own that an academic once remarked that there was no reason why it should cease to exist even if Britain left it. Of course, there is no reason for Britain to secede.History is not always pleasant. The approaching end of the British Empire was marked by atrocities such as the Batang Kali Massacre during counter-insurgency operations in Malaya, or the repression of the Mau Mau Rebellion in Kenya.Overall though, Pax Britannica gave way peacefully to Pax Americana. King Charles III is inheriting a sturdy Anglo-American partnership that manifests itself in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and the recent formation of the Aukus security pact among Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States.The end of the second Elizabethan Age is cause for sadness. Passing from the British and Commonwealth realm is a sublime symbol of the legitimacy of order and the dignity of decorum.It is up to King Charles to carry on a rare regal legacy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":256,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9938243250,"gmtCreate":1662620512270,"gmtModify":1676537102958,"author":{"id":"3573789293829232","authorId":"3573789293829232","name":"btoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a7c2d714604fc804a48646ee397f912","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"K","listText":"K","text":"K","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9938243250","repostId":"2265005862","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2265005862","pubTimestamp":1662606707,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2265005862?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-09-08 11:11","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Microsoft: Why I Traded It In For Apple And Google","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2265005862","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryI sold my Microsoft stock last year at around $320.Initially, I re-invested the money in bank","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>I sold my Microsoft stock last year at around $320.</li><li>Initially, I re-invested the money in bank stocks, but when the NASDAQ crashed, I started putting it into Apple and Google.</li><li>Microsoft still has better growth than Apple, but its whole story depends on one segment (the cloud).</li><li>Microsoft&#39;s non-cloud segments aren&#39;t growing very fast.</li><li>Because they have multiple growing segments instead of one, I consider Apple and Google better than Microsoft.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/29fb06be709bd703cbad09d8693a3db6\" tg-width=\"1080\" tg-height=\"791\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images Entertainment</span></p><p><b>Microsoft</b> (NASDAQ:MSFT) is a stock that I held through the 2020/2021 NASDAQ rally and managed to sell before it came crashing down. I bought it after reading about the company&#39;s success with Azure-the second fastest growing of the big tech cloud services. <b>Alphabet&#39;s</b> (GOOG) Google Cloud was growing faster than Microsoft&#39;s Azure at the time (54% vs. 42%), but Azure was profitable while Google Cloud wasn&#39;t. So I figured that MSFT was the safer cloud bet.</p><p>When I bought MSFT, I was pretty much betting on Azure. When researching the stock, I discovered that its revenue growth in non-cloud businesses was slow, and that its valuation was expensive. Today, Microsoft only trades at 26.5 times earnings, but it was above 30 around the time I sold it. It has a sky-high 11.4 price-to-book ratio to this day.</p><p>Around the end of 2021 I knew that the Federal Reserve was planning on hiking interest rates, so I sold the two most expensive stocks in my portfolio: MSFT and <b>Adobe</b> (ADBE). The timing on those sales was pretty good because I booked gains on both (33% on MSFT and 20% on ADBE), while limiting my exposure to the tech bear market. Shortly after these sales, I wrote the article &#34;The Tech Stock Crash Will Likely Get Worse,&#34; which explained my reasons for being bearish on tech stocks. After the article published, the NASDAQ-100 fell a further 28%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a19f7b4044c0b5ef16645e84b3bfd206\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"923\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>NASDAQ trading after I predicted a tech crash (Google Finance)</span></p><p>Initially, I invested the proceeds I got from selling Microsoft into classic value plays: banks and energy stocks. I figured that rising interest rates would help banks earn more money while the economic recovery from COVID-19 would boost energy stocks. I was only half right about the first part (rising interest rates helped retail banks but not investment banks), I was 100% correct about the second part. At any rate, I booked some small profits on energy stocks and didn&#39;t buy anything new for a while after that.</p><p>Later, though, I started thinking about getting into tech stocks again. After watching the NASDAQ-100 tumble, I noticed that valuations were getting cheap. In particular, I noticed that Google had gone all the way down to 20 times earnings, despite still having double digit revenue growth, while Apple was gaining market share in China. Apple was on the pricey side at that point, but not as much as Microsoft (it traded at around 24 times earnings). So, I added some GOOGL and AAPL-the former stock has fallen about as much as Microsoft, the latter has given me a gain.</p><p>None of this is to say that I&#39;m actively bearish on Microsoft. I still hold the <b>Invesco QQQ Trust</b> (QQQ), which has a high level of MSFT exposure. However, factoring in price, competitive dynamics, and growth, I find Google and Apple to be better bets. In the ensuing paragraphs, I&#39;ll explain why I think that way.</p><p><b>Competitive Landscape</b></p><p>One area where Google and Apple both have an edge over Microsoft is competitive dynamics. Google and Apple both have wide moats, Microsoft&#39;s position relative to competitors is less robust.</p><p>First, we can look at Google&#39;s moat. It&#39;s the #1 online ad platform in the world, with 26.4% of the market. In second place after Google is <b>Meta Platforms</b> (META), which has gained at Google&#39;s expense over the last decade, but is experiencing issues this year due to Apple&#39;s privacy changes and competition from TikTok. We can expect Google&#39;s moat to persist, because it benefitted from the very same Apple policy changes that hurt Meta, proving it has a resilient model competitors can&#39;t touch.</p><p>Next, we can look at Apple&#39;s moat. This stems from its brand (the most valuable in the world), which helps it retain customers, and its interconnected ecosystem, which encourages customers to buy multiple products. Apple has a huge fan community on YouTube, which helps it sell products without extra ad spend. As a result, Apple is #1 or #2 across multiple product categories, including:</p><ul><li><p>Smartphones- #2 after <b>Samsung</b> (OTCPK:SSNLF).</p></li><li><p>Smartphone operating systems- #1 by revenue, #2 byuser count.</p></li><li><p>Tablets- #1.</p></li><li><p>Smart watches- #1.</p></li><li><p>Computer operating systems - #2 after Windows.</p></li></ul><p>So we can see that Google and Apple both have high market share. Additionally, they have factors that can lead us to infer continued high market share-brand loyalty in Apple&#39;s case, a resilient ad platform in Google&#39;s case.</p><p>As for Microsoft?</p><p>It has some of the advantages that Apple and Google have, but not to the same extent. It controls Windows, the most popular computer operating system, but that product category has plateaued. It no longer has a meaningful presence in smartphones, as it failed in that market. In cloud services, it is #2 after Amazon. Finally, in gaming, it&#39;s second in hardware sales to <b>Sony&#39;s</b> (SONY) PlayStation 5, and owns the popular Minecraft IP. Microsoft has a pretty good competitive position, but it is not the #1 player in any growth sectors the way Apple and Google are.</p><p><b>Comparative Valuation</b></p><p>Having looked at Microsoft&#39;s competitive position, we can now turn to its valuation. MSFT remains a pretty expensive stock well into the 2022 bear market, and it may continue to be expensive for a while. To illustrate this fact, we can compare Microsoft&#39;s earnings multiples with those of Apple and Google.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/67e868df6fdac980f7adad3c07e00ed8\" tg-width=\"938\" tg-height=\"328\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>As you can see, Apple is pretty similar to Microsoft, while Google is far cheaper. Valuation favors Google, it does not favor Apple, but recall the previous section on the competitive landscape: Apple&#39;s high brand loyalty makes it a very reliable company. It is not under any threat of margin compression due to new competitors entering the market, Microsoft arguably is.</p><p>As for Microsoft&#39;s valuation in a discounted cash flow model: it&#39;s hard to forecast the cash flows of a company with as many moving pieces as MSFT. However, if we start with the last 12 months&#39; $8.69 in free cash flow per share, and assume that it grows at the 10-year CAGR rate of 7.7%, we get to $12.59 in FCF per share after five years. Using a 3.25% discount rate (the current treasury yield), and assuming that growth falls to zero after five years, we get a present value of $379. That&#39;s a significant amount of upside, but remember that DCF models are very sensitive to inputs. Change the discount rate to 8% and suddenly the fair value falls to $150, which is severe downside. If you run this same model swapping out Microsoft&#39;s free cash flow for Google&#39;s, you get a fair value of $215, which implies 2X upside. Google also ends up worth less than today&#39;s price if you raise the discount rate to 8%, but the amount of downside (about 20%) is less.</p><p><b>Microsoft&#39;s Earnings</b></p><p>As I showed above, Microsoft has a steeper valuation than other tech companies you can compare it to. However, it has some advantages that other tech companies don&#39;t have. For example, it&#39;s still growing. In its most recent quarter, MSFT managed to achieve positive top and bottom line growth, posting the following results:</p><ul><li><p>Revenue: $51.9 billion, up 12%.</p></li><li><p>Operating income: $20.5 billion, up 14%.</p></li><li><p>Net income: $16.7 billion, up 2%.</p></li><li><p>Diluted EPS: $2.23, up 3%.</p></li></ul><p>Like many companies in the same period, Microsoft achieved solid revenue growth in Q2; however, unlike those other companies, it also had positive earnings growth. For a tech company to still be growing in 2022 after the Fed&#39;s many rate hikes and Apple&#39;s privacy changes is impressive. However, note that:</p><ul><li><p>Google&#39;s Q2 top line growth was higher than Microsoft&#39;s, at 13%.</p></li><li><p>Apple is doing a major product launch today that could boost its sales.</p></li></ul><p>Certainly, Microsoft is a good company. But when you look at Google&#39;s wider moat and Apple&#39;s potential catalyst, both of these stocks look like better opportunities.</p><p><b>Risks and Challenges</b></p><p>As I&#39;ve shown in this article, Microsoft is a good stock, but perhaps not the best in the tech sector. I personally think Apple and Google are more appealing. However, there are risks and challenges facing any investor who chooses to overweight Google and Apple at the expense of Microsoft, including:</p><ul><li><p><b>Concentration risk.</b> All investors are exposed to two types of risk: market risk and specific risk. Market risk is the risk inherent in the whole market, specific risk is the risk in any one stock. The more you diversify, the less your specific risk. A broadly diversified portfolio with thousands of stocks reduces your specific risk to near zero. When you increase your specific risk by holding a lower number of stocks, your total portfolio is said to have &#39;concentration risk.&#39; If you&#39;re considering investing in just tech stocks, a full &#39;FAANG&#39; portfolio that includes MSFT, AAPL, GOOGL and the rest of the NASDAQ-100 will have less concentration risk than a pure Apple/Google portfolio. It would still be exposed to market risk, but its overall risk would be lower than holding just Apple and Google.</p></li><li><p><b>A slowdown in consumer spending.</b> Despite the current economic contraction, consumer spending is still rising modestly. In this environment, there are plenty of people buying Apple products, and patronizing companies that advertise on Google. If we enter a full fledged recession, though, that will likely change. As economic activity dips, people start to worry about being laid off-they often cut their spending as a result. Should something like that happen, an enterprise-focused company like MSFT might fare better than Google and Apple, which are heavily invested in the consumer.</p></li></ul><p>The risks above are worth keeping in mind.

I bought it after reading about the company's success with Azure-the second fastest growing of the big tech cloud services. Alphabet's (GOOG) Google Cloud was growing faster than Microsoft's Azure at the time (54% vs. 42%), but Azure was profitable while Google Cloud wasn't. So I figured that MSFT was the safer cloud bet.When I bought MSFT, I was pretty much betting on Azure. When researching the stock, I discovered that its revenue growth in non-cloud businesses was slow, and that its valuation was expensive. Today, Microsoft only trades at 26.5 times earnings, but it was above 30 around the time I sold it. It has a sky-high 11.4 price-to-book ratio to this day.Around the end of 2021 I knew that the Federal Reserve was planning on hiking interest rates, so I sold the two most expensive stocks in my portfolio: MSFT and Adobe (ADBE). The timing on those sales was pretty good because I booked gains on both (33% on MSFT and 20% on ADBE), while limiting my exposure to the tech bear market. Shortly after these sales, I wrote the article \"The Tech Stock Crash Will Likely Get Worse,\" which explained my reasons for being bearish on tech stocks. After the article published, the NASDAQ-100 fell a further 28%.NASDAQ trading after I predicted a tech crash (Google Finance)Initially, I invested the proceeds I got from selling Microsoft into classic value plays: banks and energy stocks. I figured that rising interest rates would help banks earn more money while the economic recovery from COVID-19 would boost energy stocks. I was only half right about the first part (rising interest rates helped retail banks but not investment banks), I was 100% correct about the second part. At any rate, I booked some small profits on energy stocks and didn't buy anything new for a while after that.Later, though, I started thinking about getting into tech stocks again. After watching the NASDAQ-100 tumble, I noticed that valuations were getting cheap. In particular, I noticed that Google had gone all the way down to 20 times earnings, despite still having double digit revenue growth, while Apple was gaining market share in China. Apple was on the pricey side at that point, but not as much as Microsoft (it traded at around 24 times earnings). So, I added some GOOGL and AAPL-the former stock has fallen about as much as Microsoft, the latter has given me a gain.None of this is to say that I'm actively bearish on Microsoft. I still hold the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), which has a high level of MSFT exposure. However, factoring in price, competitive dynamics, and growth, I find Google and Apple to be better bets. In the ensuing paragraphs, I'll explain why I think that way.Competitive LandscapeOne area where Google and Apple both have an edge over Microsoft is competitive dynamics. Google and Apple both have wide moats, Microsoft's position relative to competitors is less robust.First, we can look at Google's moat. It's the #1 online ad platform in the world, with 26.4% of the market. In second place after Google is Meta Platforms (META), which has gained at Google's expense over the last decade, but is experiencing issues this year due to Apple's privacy changes and competition from TikTok. We can expect Google's moat to persist, because it benefitted from the very same Apple policy changes that hurt Meta, proving it has a resilient model competitors can't touch.Next, we can look at Apple's moat. This stems from its brand (the most valuable in the world), which helps it retain customers, and its interconnected ecosystem, which encourages customers to buy multiple products. Apple has a huge fan community on YouTube, which helps it sell products without extra ad spend. As a result, Apple is #1 or #2 across multiple product categories, including:Smartphones- #2 after Samsung (OTCPK:SSNLF).Smartphone operating systems- #1 by revenue, #2 byuser count.Tablets- #1.Smart watches- #1.Computer operating systems - #2 after Windows.So we can see that Google and Apple both have high market share. Additionally, they have factors that can lead us to infer continued high market share-brand loyalty in Apple's case, a resilient ad platform in Google's case.As for Microsoft?It has some of the advantages that Apple and Google have, but not to the same extent. It controls Windows, the most popular computer operating system, but that product category has plateaued. It no longer has a meaningful presence in smartphones, as it failed in that market. In cloud services, it is #2 after Amazon. Finally, in gaming, it's second in hardware sales to Sony's (SONY) PlayStation 5, and owns the popular Minecraft IP. Microsoft has a pretty good competitive position, but it is not the #1 player in any growth sectors the way Apple and Google are.Comparative ValuationHaving looked at Microsoft's competitive position, we can now turn to its valuation. MSFT remains a pretty expensive stock well into the 2022 bear market, and it may continue to be expensive for a while. To illustrate this fact, we can compare Microsoft's earnings multiples with those of Apple and Google.As you can see, Apple is pretty similar to Microsoft, while Google is far cheaper. Valuation favors Google, it does not favor Apple, but recall the previous section on the competitive landscape: Apple's high brand loyalty makes it a very reliable company. It is not under any threat of margin compression due to new competitors entering the market, Microsoft arguably is.As for Microsoft's valuation in a discounted cash flow model: it's hard to forecast the cash flows of a company with as many moving pieces as MSFT. However, if we start with the last 12 months' $8.69 in free cash flow per share, and assume that it grows at the 10-year CAGR rate of 7.7%, we get to $12.59 in FCF per share after five years. Using a 3.25% discount rate (the current treasury yield), and assuming that growth falls to zero after five years, we get a present value of $379. That's a significant amount of upside, but remember that DCF models are very sensitive to inputs. Change the discount rate to 8% and suddenly the fair value falls to $150, which is severe downside. If you run this same model swapping out Microsoft's free cash flow for Google's, you get a fair value of $215, which implies 2X upside. Google also ends up worth less than today's price if you raise the discount rate to 8%, but the amount of downside (about 20%) is less.Microsoft's EarningsAs I showed above, Microsoft has a steeper valuation than other tech companies you can compare it to. However, it has some advantages that other tech companies don't have. For example, it's still growing. In its most recent quarter, MSFT managed to achieve positive top and bottom line growth, posting the following results:Revenue: $51.9 billion, up 12%.Operating income: $20.5 billion, up 14%.Net income: $16.7 billion, up 2%.Diluted EPS: $2.23, up 3%.Like many companies in the same period, Microsoft achieved solid revenue growth in Q2; however, unlike those other companies, it also had positive earnings growth. For a tech company to still be growing in 2022 after the Fed's many rate hikes and Apple's privacy changes is impressive. However, note that:Google's Q2 top line growth was higher than Microsoft's, at 13%.Apple is doing a major product launch today that could boost its sales.Certainly, Microsoft is a good company. But when you look at Google's wider moat and Apple's potential catalyst, both of these stocks look like better opportunities.Risks and ChallengesAs I've shown in this article, Microsoft is a good stock, but perhaps not the best in the tech sector. I personally think Apple and Google are more appealing. However, there are risks and challenges facing any investor who chooses to overweight Google and Apple at the expense of Microsoft, including:Concentration risk. All investors are exposed to two types of risk: market risk and specific risk. Market risk is the risk inherent in the whole market, specific risk is the risk in any one stock. The more you diversify, the less your specific risk. A broadly diversified portfolio with thousands of stocks reduces your specific risk to near zero. When you increase your specific risk by holding a lower number of stocks, your total portfolio is said to have 'concentration risk.' If you're considering investing in just tech stocks, a full 'FAANG' portfolio that includes MSFT, AAPL, GOOGL and the rest of the NASDAQ-100 will have less concentration risk than a pure Apple/Google portfolio. It would still be exposed to market risk, but its overall risk would be lower than holding just Apple and Google.A slowdown in consumer spending. Despite the current economic contraction, consumer spending is still rising modestly. In this environment, there are plenty of people buying Apple products, and patronizing companies that advertise on Google. If we enter a full fledged recession, though, that will likely change. As economic activity dips, people start to worry about being laid off-they often cut their spending as a result. Should something like that happen, an enterprise-focused company like MSFT might fare better than Google and Apple, which are heavily invested in the consumer.The risks above are worth keeping in mind. If they concern you, then Invesco's QQQ ETF might suit you better than a concentrated Apple/Google bet. Nevertheless, it's hard not to notice that Google and Apple enjoy competitive advantages over Microsoft. That reason alone is enough for me to weight the former two stocks higher than the latter.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":85,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9931591244,"gmtCreate":1662476012788,"gmtModify":1676537069112,"author":{"id":"3573789293829232","authorId":"3573789293829232","name":"btoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a7c2d714604fc804a48646ee397f912","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"K","listText":"K","text":"K","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9931591244","repostId":"1187467674","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1187467674","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1662475351,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1187467674?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-09-06 22:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Crypto Stocks Slid in Morning Trading, With Canaan Falling Over 4% and SOS Falling Over 3%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1187467674","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Crypto stocks slid in morning trading, with Canaan falling over 4% and SOS falling over 3%.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Crypto stocks slid in morning trading, with Canaan falling over 4% and SOS falling over 3%.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bb82222037c9ca79da10df951751ddc8\" tg-width=\"262\" tg-height=\"326\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

While Krinsky doesn&#39;t presently expect stocks to return to their mid-June lows, a sustained break below 3,900 by the S&amp;P 500  might be enough to change his mind.</p><p>&#34;At this point we do not expect the June lows to be broken, but a meaningful break under 3,900 would have us re-evaluate that thesis,&#34; Krinsky said.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dce469daebbdb715f6ef8c9f67b0682c\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"459\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Krinsky is hardly alone in expecting more pain for stocks in the near term.</p><p>Since the start of the year, U.S. stocks have had a tendency to chase momentum, exacerbating moves both to the downside and the upside. Based on this, Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek Research, pointed out on Monday that Friday&#39;s drawdown marked the seventh time this year that the S&amp;P 500 has fallen by 3% or more in a single session.</p><p>Colas crunched the numbers and found that, since the start of 2022, the average one-week forward return for the S&amp;P 500 has been minus 0.4%.</p><p>&#34;The history of down +3 percent days in 2022 says not to expect much of a near-term bounce back from Friday&#39;s rout. In fact, one could justify being quite cautious here,&#34; Colas said.</p><p>Krinsky also highlighted some discouraging trends in Apple Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$(AAPL)$</a>, one of the market&#39;s most consequential stocks thanks to its massive market capitalization, which is north of $2.5 trillion.</p><p>According to Krinsky, Apple shares, which were down more than 2% on Monday, look vulnerable for the following reasons: until last week, Apple shares had exceeded the stock&#39;s 50-day moving average by one of the largest margins seen over the past 7 years.</p><p>Earlier this month, analysts like Colas and others have pointed to this outperformance as a sign of froth in markets.

Economists expect nonfarm payrolls rose by 300,000 in August, according to data from Bloomberg.The figure is likely to serve a key role in dictating the Federal Reserve’s next rate decision at its policy-setting meeting later this month. Investors will keep a close eye on jobs data after Fed Chair Jerome Powell asserted in ahawkish speech at the Jackson Hole symposium Fridayhe is willing to accept a softening labor market in exchange for mitigating inflation.Jerome Powell, chair of the Federal Reserve walks in Teton National Park where financial leaders from around the world gathered for the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium outside Jackson, Wyoming, U.S., August 26, 2022. REUTERS/Jim Urquhart“If there is a conflict in the Fed’s two mandates as they work to slow inflation, Chair Powell ranks price stability head and shoulders above maximum employment,” Jeff Klingelhofer, co-head of investments at Thornburg Investment Management said in a note on Friday.Powell’sremarks sent markets tumbling, with all three major averages settling at four-week lows on Friday.The Nasdaq plunged 3.9%, and the S&P 500 shed 3.3%, with both indexes logging their biggest one-day drops since June 13. The Dow Jones Industrial Average erased 1,000 points, or roughly 3% on Friday.“There will very likely be some softening of labor market conditions,” Powell said in his speech.“While higher interest rates, slower growth and softer labor market conditions will bring down inflation, they will also bring some pain to households and businesses,” Powell added. “These are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation. But a failure to restore price stability would mean far greater pain.”Up until Friday, some market participants had expected the U.S. central bank may pivot in its monetary tightening plans, but Powell and other officials have pushed back on the possibility of notching down rate hikes this year.Inflation has shown signs of moderating, but continues to run sharply higher than the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%. Data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis on Friday showed consumer prices fell slightly last month, with headline PCE falling 0.1% between June and July, driven primarily by a 4.8% decline in energy prices. On a year-over-year basis, headline PCE rose 6.3% in July.David Malpass, president of the World Bank Group, looks on next to a stuffed grizzly bear at Teton National Park, where financial leaders from around the world gathered for the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, outside Jackson, Wyoming, U.S., August 26, 2022. REUTERS/Jim UrquhartAnd core PCE, the Fed's preferred measure of inflation, rose 0.1% month-on-month in July and 4.6% from the prior year, marking the lowest annual increase since October 2021.Still, Powell indicated another “unusually large” rate hike was possible in September after the central bank raised rates by 75 basis points inJuneandJuly.\"Restoring price stability will likely require maintaining a restrictive policy stance for some time,\" Powell said. \"The historical record cautions strongly against prematurely loosening policy.”Elsewhere in labor market data,ADP will resume its private payrolls reportwith new a methodology on Wednesday after a temporary pause in June and July. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expect the release to show 300,000 private payrolls were added in August.ADP's monthly private jobs report comes two days before the Labor Department releases its official jobs report. While the company’s print is an imperfect precursor to the government’s release, it offers a snapshot of job growth during the period.The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), Challenger Job Cuts, and initial weekly jobless claims are also on the docket of employment data set for release this week.On the earnings front, the reporting season has largely wound down, but a few potentially market-moving results are still on tap.

Unfortunately, Nvidia&#39;s gross margins collapsed in the second fiscal quarter to 45.9%, showing a decrease of 21.1 PP quarter-over-quarter. The drop in revenues and gross margins was overwhelmingly caused by the Gaming segment which reported, as expected, a 44% quarter-over-quarter drop in revenues due toweakening demand for GPUs and declining pricing strengthfor Nvidia&#39;s graphic cards.

Nvidia expects revenues of $5.90B plus or minus $118M, which would mark another 12% quarter-over-quarter decrease in consolidated revenues, which comes on top of the 19% quarter-over-quarter drop in revenues in FQ2. On an annualized basis, FQ3 revenues are down 29% compared to the beginning of the year, which marks a massive slowdown in Nvidia&#39;s business. The revenue downgrade for FQ3 occurred as Nvidia expects the Gaming industry to adjust to lower GPU demand and work throughhigh inventory levels. Nvidia&#39;s revenue guidance of $5.9B for FQ3 compares to aconsensus FQ3 estimate of $6.9B, meaning actual guidance was a massive $1.0B below the most recent revenue prediction.</p><p>I expected a sequential down-turn in revenues, led by Gaming, and projected FQ3 revenues to be between $6.0B to $6.2B, which reflected a sequential decline of up to 10%. Apparently, the situation in the Gaming industry is even more serious for Nvidia than expected, and it will affect how the market generates revenue estimates and values the stock going forward.</p><h3>My expectations for Nvidia going forward</h3><p>I expect Nvidia to continue to expand its Data Center business as demand for cloud computing, AI applications and hyper-scale platforms is only going to grow. However, I expect growth in this segment to be overshadowed by continual declines and pricing weakness in the Gaming segment. Worldwide PC shipments are expected to decline 9.5% (according toGartner) in 2022, but I believe the drop could be even larger if a deeper US recession were to bite.</p><p>Since there is no short-term solution to getting rid of high inventories in the PC industry, I expect pricing weakness in the GPU market to weigh on Nvidia&#39;s revenue potential. I also expect the pricing trend for both NVIDIA&#39;s GeForce RTX 30 and AMD&#39;s Radeon RX 6000 to remain negative, with larger discounts to the manufacturer&#39;s suggested retail price possible. Nvidia&#39;s RTX 30 GPU was available at a 9% discount to MSRP in July. Given the high inventory levels in the PC market paired with a drop-off in GPU demand, I expect Nvidia&#39;s flagship graphics card to trade at even higher discount to the MSRP going forward.</p><p>Because of the headwinds in the Gaming business, I expect Nvidia to generate about $27B in full-year revenues in FY 2023 (down from $28B), which means the chip maker could see no year-over-year growth whatsoever this year.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/297c23d10b4798c94de6cfa3ff793b91\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"802\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>NVDA Revenue (Quarterly YoY Growth) data by YCharts</p><p><b>Estimate and valuation risk</b></p><p>Nvidia&#39;s revenue estimates are now going to reset after the chip maker submitted a seriously bad guidance for its third fiscal quarter. As analysts incorporate Nvidia&#39;s FQ3&#39;23 revenue guidance into their projections, Nvidia is likely going to see a massive, broad-based reduction for its FY 2023 revenue predictions. Since lofty revenue expectations have been used to justify Nvidia&#39;s generous valuation, a reset of expectations has the potential to drive a downward revaluation of Nvidia&#39;s shares.</p><p>Nvidia&#39;s shares dropped 4.6% after regular trading yesterday and, I believe, the drop does not accurately reflect the seriousness of the sequential revenue downgrade. Nvidia currently has a P-S ratio of 12.2x, and if revenue estimates continue to fall, the valuation factor may even increase.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/92263effbea15a27a9d0154ceff211d1\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"852\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>NVDA Revenue Estimates for Current Fiscal Yeardata by YCharts</p><p><b>Other risks/considerations with Nvidia</b></p><p>I see two big risks for Nvidia at this point in time. The first one is that the slowdown in the GPU market may last for quite some time, meaning Nvidia may have to deal with slowing Gaming segment revenues for more than just one more quarter. This is because thePC market is in a declinewhich affects the shipment of Nvidia&#39;s GPUs. Secondly, revenue and earnings estimates, especially after the nightmarish guidance for FQ3&#39;23, will reflect a reset of growth expectations which in itself could lead Nvidia&#39;s shares into a new down-leg.</p><p><b>Final thoughts</b></p><p>Shares of Nvidia dropped 4.6% after the market closed, but I believe the sharpness of the expected revenue decline in FQ3 is not accurately reflected in this drop. The guidance truly is a game-changer because Nvidia&#39;s period of hyper-growth is ending.</p><p>Nvidia&#39;s outlook for FQ3&#39;23 revenues was $1.0B below expectations and the company is going through a major post-pandemic reset in the GPU market… which could affect Nvidia&#39;s valuation much more severely going forward. As estimates correct to the downside, Nvidia&#39;s valuation is set to experience more pressure!</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Nvidia: Guidance Is A Game-Changer</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nNvidia: Guidance Is A Game-Changer\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-28 08:14 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4537353-nvidia-nvda-guidance-game-changer><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryMassive slowdown in the Gaming business is affecting Nvidia’s revenue prospects.Revenue guidance for FQ3 was a real shocker as the outlook underperformed estimates by $1.0B.Nvidia’s FY 2023 ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4537353-nvidia-nvda-guidance-game-changer\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NVDA":"英伟达"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4537353-nvidia-nvda-guidance-game-changer","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1161837457","content_text":"SummaryMassive slowdown in the Gaming business is affecting Nvidia’s revenue prospects.Revenue guidance for FQ3 was a real shocker as the outlook underperformed estimates by $1.0B.Nvidia’s FY 2023 revenue estimates are set for a major downward revision.Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) finally released highly anticipated earnings for its second fiscal quarter of FY 2023.

On an annualized basis, FQ3 revenues are down 29% compared to the beginning of the year, which marks a massive slowdown in Nvidia's business. The revenue downgrade for FQ3 occurred as Nvidia expects the Gaming industry to adjust to lower GPU demand and work throughhigh inventory levels. Nvidia's revenue guidance of $5.9B for FQ3 compares to aconsensus FQ3 estimate of $6.9B, meaning actual guidance was a massive $1.0B below the most recent revenue prediction.I expected a sequential down-turn in revenues, led by Gaming, and projected FQ3 revenues to be between $6.0B to $6.2B, which reflected a sequential decline of up to 10%. Apparently, the situation in the Gaming industry is even more serious for Nvidia than expected, and it will affect how the market generates revenue estimates and values the stock going forward.My expectations for Nvidia going forwardI expect Nvidia to continue to expand its Data Center business as demand for cloud computing, AI applications and hyper-scale platforms is only going to grow. However, I expect growth in this segment to be overshadowed by continual declines and pricing weakness in the Gaming segment. Worldwide PC shipments are expected to decline 9.5% (according toGartner) in 2022, but I believe the drop could be even larger if a deeper US recession were to bite.Since there is no short-term solution to getting rid of high inventories in the PC industry, I expect pricing weakness in the GPU market to weigh on Nvidia's revenue potential. I also expect the pricing trend for both NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 30 and AMD's Radeon RX 6000 to remain negative, with larger discounts to the manufacturer's suggested retail price possible. Nvidia's RTX 30 GPU was available at a 9% discount to MSRP in July. Given the high inventory levels in the PC market paired with a drop-off in GPU demand, I expect Nvidia's flagship graphics card to trade at even higher discount to the MSRP going forward.Because of the headwinds in the Gaming business, I expect Nvidia to generate about $27B in full-year revenues in FY 2023 (down from $28B), which means the chip maker could see no year-over-year growth whatsoever this year.NVDA Revenue (Quarterly YoY Growth) data by YChartsEstimate and valuation riskNvidia's revenue estimates are now going to reset after the chip maker submitted a seriously bad guidance for its third fiscal quarter. As analysts incorporate Nvidia's FQ3'23 revenue guidance into their projections, Nvidia is likely going to see a massive, broad-based reduction for its FY 2023 revenue predictions. Since lofty revenue expectations have been used to justify Nvidia's generous valuation, a reset of expectations has the potential to drive a downward revaluation of Nvidia's shares.Nvidia's shares dropped 4.6% after regular trading yesterday and, I believe, the drop does not accurately reflect the seriousness of the sequential revenue downgrade. Nvidia currently has a P-S ratio of 12.2x, and if revenue estimates continue to fall, the valuation factor may even increase.NVDA Revenue Estimates for Current Fiscal Yeardata by YChartsOther risks/considerations with NvidiaI see two big risks for Nvidia at this point in time. The first one is that the slowdown in the GPU market may last for quite some time, meaning Nvidia may have to deal with slowing Gaming segment revenues for more than just one more quarter. This is because thePC market is in a declinewhich affects the shipment of Nvidia's GPUs. Secondly, revenue and earnings estimates, especially after the nightmarish guidance for FQ3'23, will reflect a reset of growth expectations which in itself could lead Nvidia's shares into a new down-leg.Final thoughtsShares of Nvidia dropped 4.6% after the market closed, but I believe the sharpness of the expected revenue decline in FQ3 is not accurately reflected in this drop. The guidance truly is a game-changer because Nvidia's period of hyper-growth is ending.Nvidia's outlook for FQ3'23 revenues was $1.0B below expectations and the company is going through a major post-pandemic reset in the GPU market… which could affect Nvidia's valuation much more severely going forward. As estimates correct to the downside, Nvidia's valuation is set to experience more pressure!","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":31,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9994373159,"gmtCreate":1661569207873,"gmtModify":1676536543878,"author":{"id":"3573789293829232","authorId":"3573789293829232","name":"btoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a7c2d714604fc804a48646ee397f912","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"K","listText":"K","text":"K","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9994373159","repostId":"2262838921","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2262838921","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1661566425,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2262838921?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-08-27 10:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Powell's Policy Point: Inflation Must Be Beat, And It Won't Be Pretty","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2262838921","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"When Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell spoke Friday at the central bank's annual symposium in J","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>When Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell spoke Friday at the central bank&#39;s annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyo., he didn&#39;t say anything exactly new.

She notes that Biden&#39;s announcement mentioned that the immediate forgiveness will be paired with more generous forgiveness terms on future loans, which &#34;essentially subsidizes the very sector whose ballooning pricing got so many people into this predicament.&#34; And it means that even more people will take out loans in the future, she says, further pushing up the costs of higher education.</p><p>In normal times, Furman&#39;s estimate wouldn&#39;t seem very significant and Kearney&#39;s points would be cause for longer-term concern, but not necessarily for losing sleep.

Powell</p><p>At “Reassessing Constraints on the Economy and Policy,” an economic policy symposium sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Jackson Hole, Wyoming</p><p>Thank you for the opportunity to speak here today.</p><p>At past Jackson Hole conferences, I have discussed broad topics such as the ever-changing structure of the economy and the challenges of conducting monetary policy under high uncertainty. Today, my remarks will be shorter, my focus narrower, and my message more direct.</p><p>The Federal Open Market Committee&#39;s (FOMC) overarching focus right now is to bring inflation back down to our 2 percent goal. Price stability is the responsibility of the Federal Reserve and serves as the bedrock of our economy. Without price stability, the economy does not work for anyone. In particular, without price stability, we will not achieve a sustained period of strong labor market conditions that benefit all. The burdens of high inflation fall heaviest on those who are least able to bear them.</p><p>Restoring price stability will take some time and requires using our tools forcefully to bring demand and supply into better balance. Reducing inflation is likely to require a sustained period of below-trend growth. Moreover, there will very likely be some softening of labor market conditions. While higher interest rates, slower growth, and softer labor market conditions will bring down inflation, they will also bring some pain to households and businesses. These are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation. But a failure to restore price stability would mean far greater pain.</p><p>The U.S. economy is clearly slowing from the historically high growth rates of 2021, which reflected the reopening of the economy following the pandemic recession. While the latest economic data have been mixed, in my view our economy continues to show strong underlying momentum. The labor market is particularly strong, but it is clearly out of balance, with demand for workers substantially exceeding the supply of available workers. Inflation is running well above 2 percent, and high inflation has continued to spread through the economy. While the lower inflation readings for July are welcome, a single month&#39;s improvement falls far short of what the Committee will need to see before we are confident that inflation is moving down.</p><p>We are moving our policy stance purposefully to a level that will be sufficiently restrictive to return inflation to 2 percent. At our most recent meeting in July, the FOMC raised the target range for the federal funds rate to 2.25 to 2.5 percent, which is in the Summary of Economic Projection&#39;s (SEP) range of estimates of where the federal funds rate is projected to settle in the longer run. In current circumstances, with inflation running far above 2 percent and the labor market extremely tight, estimates of longer-run neutral are not a place to stop or pause.</p><p>July&#39;s increase in the target range was the second 75 basis point increase in as many meetings, and I said then that another unusually large increase could be appropriate at our next meeting. We are now about halfway through the intermeeting period. Our decision at the September meeting will depend on the totality of the incoming data and the evolving outlook. At some point, as the stance of monetary policy tightens further, it likely will become appropriate to slow the pace of increases.</p><p>Restoring price stability will likely require maintaining a restrictive policy stance for some time. The historical record cautions strongly against prematurely loosening policy. Committee participants&#39; most recent individual projections from the June SEP showed the median federal funds rate running slightly below 4 percent through the end of 2023. Participants will update their projections at the September meeting.</p><p>Our monetary policy deliberations and decisions build on what we have learned about inflation dynamics both from the high and volatile inflation of the 1970s and 1980s, and from the low and stable inflation of the past quarter-century. In particular, we are drawing on three important lessons.</p><p>The first lesson is that central banks<i>can</i>and<i>should</i>take responsibility for delivering low and stable inflation. It may seem strange now that central bankers and others once needed convincing on these two fronts, but as former Chairman Ben Bernanke has shown, both propositions were widely questioned during the Great Inflation period.1Today, we regard these questions as settled. Our responsibility to deliver price stability is unconditional. It is true that the current high inflation is a global phenomenon, and that many economies around the world face inflation as high or higher than seen here in the United States. It is also true, in my view, that the current high inflation in the United States is the product of strong demand and constrained supply, and that the Fed&#39;s tools work principally on aggregate demand. None of this diminishes the Federal Reserve&#39;s responsibility to carry out our assigned task of achieving price stability. There is clearly a job to do in moderating demand to better align with supply. We are committed to doing that job.</p><p>The second lesson is that the public&#39;s expectations about future inflation can play an important role in setting the path of inflation over time. Today, by many measures, longer-term inflation expectations appear to remain well anchored. That is broadly true of surveys of households, businesses, and forecasters, and of market-based measures as well. But that is not grounds for complacency, with inflation having run well above our goal for some time.</p><p>If the public expects that inflation will remain low and stable over time, then, absent major shocks, it likely will. Unfortunately, the same is true of expectations of high and volatile inflation. During the 1970s, as inflation climbed, the anticipation of high inflation became entrenched in the economic decisionmaking of households and businesses. The more inflation rose, the more people came to expect it to remain high, and they built that belief into wage and pricing decisions. As former Chairman Paul Volcker put it at the height of the Great Inflation in 1979, &#34;Inflation feeds in part on itself, so part of the job of returning to a more stable and more productive economy must be to break the grip of inflationary expectations.&#34;2</p><p>One useful insight into how actual inflation may affect expectations about its future path is based in the concept of &#34;rational inattention.&#34;3When inflation is persistently high, households and businesses must pay close attention and incorporate inflation into their economic decisions. When inflation is low and stable, they are freer to focus their attention elsewhere. Former Chairman Alan Greenspan put it this way: &#34;For all practical purposes, price stability means that expected changes in the average price level are small enough and gradual enough that they do not materially enter business and household financial decisions.&#34;4</p><p>Of course, inflation has just about everyone&#39;s attention right now, which highlights a particular risk today: The longer the current bout of high inflation continues, the greater the chance that expectations of higher inflation will become entrenched.</p><p>That brings me to the third lesson, which is that we must keep at it until the job is done. History shows that the employment costs of bringing down inflation are likely to increase with delay, as high inflation becomes more entrenched in wage and price setting. The successful Volcker disinflation in the early 1980s followed multiple failed attempts to lower inflation over the previous 15 years. A lengthy period of very restrictive monetary policy was ultimately needed to stem the high inflation and start the process of getting inflation down to the low and stable levels that were the norm until the spring of last year. Our aim is to avoid that outcome by acting with resolve now.</p><p>These lessons are guiding us as we use our tools to bring inflation down. We are taking forceful and rapid steps to moderate demand so that it comes into better alignment with supply, and to keep inflation expectations anchored. We will keep at it until we are confident the job is done.</p><p></p><p></p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Full Speech By Federal Reserve Chair Powell on Monetary Policy and Price Stability</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nFull Speech By Federal Reserve Chair Powell on Monetary Policy and Price Stability\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<a class=\"head\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/wemedia/1079075236\">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Tiger Newspress </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2022-08-26 23:11</p>\n</div>\n\n</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p><b><i>Monetary Policy and Price Stability</i></b></p><p>Chair Jerome H.

A 46% gross margin isn&#39;t disastrous in absolute terms, but the hefty margin drop naturally has a huge impact on Nvidia&#39;s profitability.</p><p>Nvidia was widely regarded as a high-end semiconductor company that was able to generate very strong margins due to its excellent product quality. But at least for now, that has apparently ended, as its gross margin is far lower than what we have gotten used to in recent years.</p><p>At the same time, Nvidia also saw its operating expenses explode upwards. This includes research and development, sales, but also administrative costs. WhileNvidia was able to grow its revenue by 3% year over year, operating expenses somehow rose by almost 40% - or around<i>13x as much</i> as the company&#39;s revenue. That is pretty bad, and it is not clear why that happened. Higher R&amp;D expenses aren&#39;t bad per se, at least if those result in strong products that improve the longer-term growth outlook.</p><p>But for a growth company like Nvidia, investors generally want to see operating leverage, meaning operating expenses grow less than revenue and gross profit, as this allows a company to grow its profits faster than its sales. The complete opposite of that happened here, as gross margins dropped severely while operating costs rose much more than Nvidia&#39;s sales and gross profit. The steep profit decline of more than 50% is the logical consequence of that ill-timed increase in Nvidia&#39;s operating expenses.</p><p>With earnings per share at $0.50 for the quarter, Nvidia&#39;s EPS is running at a $2 annual rate. That will most likely drop even further in Q3, as indicated by the pretty weak forward guidance (more on that later). Profits are now back at the level seen in early 2020 when earnings per share were in the $0.50 range as well. It&#39;s important to note that Nvidia was trading at as low as $50 back then, whereas Nvidia is trading at $170 right here -- or more than 80x the Q2 earnings run rate.</p><p>These areNvidia&#39;s non-GAAP results, where items such as share-based compensation are already backed out. GAAP profitability was even worse, as GAAP earnings per share came in at $0.26 -- or around $1 annualized, for a 170x earnings multiple. That&#39;s quite expensive for a company with a 3% top-line growth rate.</p><p><b>Nvidia&#39;s Forward Guidance Is Horrendous</b></p><p>I want to note first that I do believe that Nvidia is a quality company with a positive long-term outlook, thanks to its strong position in growth markets such as AI, autonomous driving, etc. I also want to note that I have been a bull on Nvidia in the past, and shares are up since my last bullish article. But when the facts change and the underlying performance is much worse than previously thought, then it makes sense to reflect one&#39;s formerly bullish stance.</p><p>Nvidia&#39;s guidance for the current quarter, Q3, was very bad. The company is forecasting revenues of $5.9 billion for the period, which is not only $1 billion or 15% below the current consensus estimate, but which also indicates a revenue decline of 16.9% versus last year&#39;s Q3 revenue of $7.1 billion. That is comparable to Intel&#39;s (INTC) revenue decline during the most recent quarter, as Intel reported a drop of 17.3% in its top line for the period. In other words, Nvidia is forecasting a revenue drop that is comparable to the one Intel has just reported -- the huge difference is that Intel trades at 2.1x forward sales, whereas Nvidia trades at 15x forward sales, which is a 600% premium relative to how Intel is valued.</p><p>There are good arguments for Nvidia to trade at a premium versus Intel, such as its stronger position in the fast-growing data center market, where Nvidia saw its revenue rise by 60% in Q2, while Intel&#39;s data center dropped. But whether it makes sense for Nvidia to trade at a 600% premium on a sales basis, relative to Intel, while both are seeing their revenues drop, is highly questionable, I believe.</p><p>What&#39;s the explanation for the hefty revenue decline that Nvidia forecasts for the current quarter? It&#39;s not the overall semiconductor market, that&#39;s pretty clear, as the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics, or WSTS, has just announced that overall semiconductor revenues would climb 14% in 2022. WhenNvidia&#39;s revenues are falling by double-digits, while the broad semiconductor industry is growing by double-digits, then there must be other factors at work. In Nvidia&#39;s case, that&#39;s the current crypto winter. WhileNvidia&#39;s chips were useless for Bitcoin mining, they were excellent for Ethereum mining due to the algorithm Ethereum uses, which is very GPU-friendly. With crypto prices plunging in 2022, Nvidia is feeling pressure due to two reasons.</p><p>First, the company can sell fewer chips to crypto miners, as Ethereum mining has become less profitable, which is why demand dropped. At the same time, less demand by crypto miners results in a looser supply-demand picture, which leads to price declines for GPUs. This is further accelerated by the fact that some crypto miners are selling the GPUs they own on secondary markets, which further pressures pricing for new GPUs.</p><p>Due to the current crypto winter, Nvidia is thus feeling a double hit from lower sales volumes and lower average margins. That&#39;s luckily partially made up by the strong performance in other areas, such as data centers. But as the weak guidance for the current quarter shows, Nvidia is not able to fully offset the headwinds from the weak crypto environment. It thus looks like investors have to come to terms with the fact that Nvidia&#39;s strong underlying performance was at least partially driven by crypto enthusiasm. Now that crypto has been in a downtrend for some time, that former tailwind is turning into a headwind.</p><p><b>What&#39;s The Outlook?</b></p><p>In the very long term, Nvidia will still be a solid growth company, I believe. Data center demand will continue to grow. Autonomous driving is a long-term megatrend that will lead to rising demand for Nvidia&#39;s Hyperion platform and similar products. But in the near term, the outlook is far from great.</p><p>SinceNvidia is trading at a pretty high valuation of 46x forward earnings, even before those earnings estimates have declined due to the weaker-than-expected Q3 guidance, I do not believe that Nvidia is a great investment at current prices. There are other semiconductor companies with way better near-term growth outlooks that trade at less than halfNvidia&#39;s earnings multiple, such as AMD (AMD), Broadcom (AVGO), Qualcomm (QCOM), and so on. With those picks being available today, I do not see a great reason to buy Nvidia right now. The long-term outlook is positive, but the near-term issues and too-high valuation make me stay away for now.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Nvidia: Disaster Guidance</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nNvidia: Disaster Guidance\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-25 11:59 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4536839-nvidia-disaster-guidance?source=content_type%3Areact%7Cfirst_level_url%3Ahome%7Csection%3Aportfolio%7Csection_asset%3Aheadlines%7Cline%3A1><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryNvidia reported its second quarter earnings, missing estimates.Nvidia's Q3 guidance is more important, however.

While Tesla is commonly seen as a luxury vehicle, it is taking sales from not just all the luxury automakers, but all the mainstream categories as well. Tesla&#39;s flawless navigation through the supply chain means not only higher production for Tesla, but higher demand as other automakers struggle with very high starting prices that are mostly out of their control.</p><p>In addition to supply chain hurdles, traditional automakers have struggled with dealerships driving up prices well above MSRP via price markups and mandatory accessories. Manufacturers like Ford (F), which historically have good relations with dealerships, are now starting to show their frustration with dealers. To counter this (and to get a bigger piece of the pie themselves), manufacturers have focused on building higher priced configurations of their vehicles, but that hasn&#39;t stopped the strong consumer from driving up prices further.</p><p>For the shopper, this is a double whammy. With manufacturers prioritizing higher-priced variants and dealerships applying extreme markups to those units, in July the average retail price for a new car rose to an all-time high of $48,142 and the average monthly payment is now $733. In fact, the average retail price is now higher than the starting price of a Model 3, even after a $10,000 price increase over the last year. In today&#39;s market, an entry-level Tesla is no longer a luxury vehicle.</p><p>My local dealership here in Southern California sells a top-of-the-line Honda Accord Touring for nearly the same price as a Standard Range Model 3 and according to the salesman, they&#39;ve been selling every one that they get. With mainstream vehicles having luxury prices, it&#39;s no wonder Tesla is taking sales from the mainstream segment.</p><p>While we may never see inventory levels like we did prior to the pandemic that allowed incentives and dealer discounts to bring prices well below MSRP, I believe buying a car at MSRP will eventually happen. This will give shoppers the much-needed choice they need.</p><p><b>Tesla: Now a luxury within reach</b></p><p>So how does the price of a Model 3 today compare with an Accord versus Honda&#39;s intention, and versus prices from a few years ago? It&#39;s hardly a splurge in today&#39;s market.</p><p>A Model 3 costs &#34;just&#34; 30% more than the cheapest Honda Accord I can find, a Sport trim priced at $35,975 including markups, and the salesman assured me that they sell every one they get without discount. That&#39;s a model that doesn&#39;t even have heated cloth seats; leather would cost an additional $1500 and at that point a Model 3 would be just 25% more for a huge upgrade in terms of brand and features.</p><p>Obviously, this is due to inflated prices and was never the intention. If a buyer could pick up an Accord LX (the cheapest trim) for an MSRP of $26,520 without those pesky markups, the cost of a Standard Range Model 3 would be more than 80% higher. You can argue that a Model 3 is worth the higher price tag but the problem is that with so few options today, a Tesla is far more appealing today than it was a few years ago (especially with fuel and maintenance savings). It&#39;s easy to see why Tesla is taking so many sales from the mainstream segment. In fact, according to Tom Libby from S&amp;P Mobility, about half of Model 3 and Y buyers have a mainstream product in their garage, which he finds extraordinary.</p><p>Even if we consider 2019 prices when a Model 3 was just $37,000, it was still more than 50% higher than the MSRP of an Accord LX at the time, and that&#39;s excluding past dealer discounts and manufacturer incentives that could drive the price thousands below MSRP.</p><p>With higher prices thanks to supply chain woes, Tesla has been able to bring in record profitability. Unfortunately, there are signs that these conditions are starting to fade.</p><p><b>The market is shifting</b></p><p>It&#39;s important to note that the strong consumer has been incredibly helpful in driving prices through the roof, but there are signs that the consumer&#39;s spending habits are changing.</p><p>Over the past few months, when it comes to the new car market, buyers just haven&#39;t had a choice. <i>Someone</i> is going to buy that overpriced car on the lot, however foolish it may be. Thankfully, the used car market is showing signs of stability, and since more than 40 million used cars were sold in the US last year (22 million via retailers), a look at this segment is a good indicator of car shopping behavior when provided a choice.</p><p>If you&#39;re unfamiliar, here&#39;s an example of how prices have been in the used market. In Southern California, a certified pre-owned 2021 Civic LX (base model) with 28,000 miles has a retail price of $28,655, which is 35% higher than its original MSRP of $21,250.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7863b77894ec6738305b9e12cf9dc2fd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"248\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>ochondaworld.com</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6ceceac50604deafb86b1d96ec132873\" tg-width=\"498\" tg-height=\"862\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Autonews.com</p><p>Last quarter, used vehicle profitability plunged. AutoNation&#39;s (AN) used vehicle gross profit declined by 22% from the prior quarter and 14% from last year, while Group 1 (GPI) saw profits dive 25%. Online used car retailers are also seeing profits plunge, with Carvana (CVNA) posting a loss of more than a billion dollars thanks to a 44% decline in gross profits from last year. See the chart to the right for more.</p><p>The majority of CEOs from major public car retailers discuss the consumer&#39;s reluctance to pay big premiums for vehicles as they were previously. Penske (PAG) CEO said that higher prices are &#34;taking some people out of the market&#34;. Group 1 Automotive&#39;s CEO stated that demand is shifting to lower price points. Asbury Automotive Group CEO David Hult said that consumers were &#34;impulsively buying&#34; six months ago but are now more cautious. According to Cox Automotive, used car prices are trending down and should be a source of deflation in the months ahead.</p><p>In other words, the buying frenzy for overpriced used vehicles is over and it&#39;s reasonable to believe that this will translate into the new car market as soon as production stabilizes.</p><p><b>Signs of New Car Production Rebound</b></p><p>Nobody is yet sure when new car production will fully rebound, or even recover to levels where shoppers can buy cars without massive markups, however there is some promising signs starting to surface.</p><p>In June, UK car production was back on the rise, up 5.6% from the year earlier thanks to an ease in some supply chain issues. According to LMCAutomotive, the Global Light Vehicle selling rate rose for the third consecutive month to 90 million units/year in July, which it noted as the best performance for the year so far thanks to a rebound in China and South America. US sales remain down, but the sales decline by 11.6% was the smallest decline since January. Finally, according to AutoForecast Solutions, automakers lost just 6,800 vehicles in weekly production due to the chip shortage and that was one of the smallest losses since the chip shortage began in early 2021.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>For the better part of the last year, Tesla&#39;s applaudable performance despite supply chain woes has come with great benefit. For starters, shoppers of ICE vehicles have faced extreme price pressure due to automakers prioritizing well-equipped variants of their vehicles and dealerships adding steep markups to these already high-priced cars.</p><p>However, there are signs of a weakening consumer. In the used market, consumers are (thankfully) showing signs of reluctance when faced with the purchase of a used base model Civic for nearly 30 grand. Auto retailers are making it clear that the buying frenzy is over. In addition, there&#39;s a glimmer of hope that production is starting to ease. We still need more data, but it&#39;s reasonable to believe that the supply chain will ease eventually.</p><p>When that time comes, Tesla will be facing lower mainstream vehicle prices and will likely find it more difficult to bite into these high-volume segments so easily. Of course, Tesla would also benefit from any supply chain easing, but at the expensive of what&#39;s been a driver of the stock&#39;s recent run up: high gross margins and profitability in addition to growth. Initially, there was a selloff after its most recent earnings report, with the red flag being margin contraction. Further margin contraction due to pricing pressure may not be taken lightly by investors, especially if it were perceived as an indicator of reduced demand.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Tesla Must Face The Comeback Of Affordable ICE Vehicles</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nTesla Must Face The Comeback Of Affordable ICE Vehicles\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-23 12:01 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4536057-tesla-faces-comeback-of-affordable-ice-vehicles?source=content_type%3Aall%7Cfirst_level_url%3Aportfolio%7Csection%3Aportfolio_content_unit%7Csection_asset%3Alatest%7Cline%3A20><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryTesla has grown its sales while traditional automakers have shrunk.The chip shortage has driven the average transaction price of a new car higher than the price of a Model 3.This is ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4536057-tesla-faces-comeback-of-affordable-ice-vehicles?source=content_type%3Aall%7Cfirst_level_url%3Aportfolio%7Csection%3Aportfolio_content_unit%7Csection_asset%3Alatest%7Cline%3A20\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4536057-tesla-faces-comeback-of-affordable-ice-vehicles?source=content_type%3Aall%7Cfirst_level_url%3Aportfolio%7Csection%3Aportfolio_content_unit%7Csection_asset%3Alatest%7Cline%3A20","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1140002312","content_text":"SummaryTesla has grown its sales while traditional automakers have shrunk.The chip shortage has driven the average transaction price of a new car higher than the price of a Model 3.This is unsustainable and as production returns, prices will drop.Tesla will need to respond with lower prices to be price competitive, which will hurt profitability, or it could face demand or growth risks.What's happened?Other automakers' misfortunes have been Tesla's (NASDAQ:TSLA) gain.

In Southern California, a certified pre-owned 2021 Civic LX (base model) with 28,000 miles has a retail price of $28,655, which is 35% higher than its original MSRP of $21,250.ochondaworld.comAutonews.comLast quarter, used vehicle profitability plunged. AutoNation's (AN) used vehicle gross profit declined by 22% from the prior quarter and 14% from last year, while Group 1 (GPI) saw profits dive 25%. Online used car retailers are also seeing profits plunge, with Carvana (CVNA) posting a loss of more than a billion dollars thanks to a 44% decline in gross profits from last year. See the chart to the right for more.The majority of CEOs from major public car retailers discuss the consumer's reluctance to pay big premiums for vehicles as they were previously. Penske (PAG) CEO said that higher prices are \"taking some people out of the market\". Group 1 Automotive's CEO stated that demand is shifting to lower price points. Asbury Automotive Group CEO David Hult said that consumers were \"impulsively buying\" six months ago but are now more cautious. According to Cox Automotive, used car prices are trending down and should be a source of deflation in the months ahead.In other words, the buying frenzy for overpriced used vehicles is over and it's reasonable to believe that this will translate into the new car market as soon as production stabilizes.Signs of New Car Production ReboundNobody is yet sure when new car production will fully rebound, or even recover to levels where shoppers can buy cars without massive markups, however there is some promising signs starting to surface.In June, UK car production was back on the rise, up 5.6% from the year earlier thanks to an ease in some supply chain issues. According to LMCAutomotive, the Global Light Vehicle selling rate rose for the third consecutive month to 90 million units/year in July, which it noted as the best performance for the year so far thanks to a rebound in China and South America. US sales remain down, but the sales decline by 11.6% was the smallest decline since January. Finally, according to AutoForecast Solutions, automakers lost just 6,800 vehicles in weekly production due to the chip shortage and that was one of the smallest losses since the chip shortage began in early 2021.ConclusionFor the better part of the last year, Tesla's applaudable performance despite supply chain woes has come with great benefit. For starters, shoppers of ICE vehicles have faced extreme price pressure due to automakers prioritizing well-equipped variants of their vehicles and dealerships adding steep markups to these already high-priced cars.However, there are signs of a weakening consumer. In the used market, consumers are (thankfully) showing signs of reluctance when faced with the purchase of a used base model Civic for nearly 30 grand. Auto retailers are making it clear that the buying frenzy is over. In addition, there's a glimmer of hope that production is starting to ease. We still need more data, but it's reasonable to believe that the supply chain will ease eventually.When that time comes, Tesla will be facing lower mainstream vehicle prices and will likely find it more difficult to bite into these high-volume segments so easily. Of course, Tesla would also benefit from any supply chain easing, but at the expensive of what's been a driver of the stock's recent run up: high gross margins and profitability in addition to growth. Initially, there was a selloff after its most recent earnings report, with the red flag being margin contraction. Further margin contraction due to pricing pressure may not be taken lightly by investors, especially if it were perceived as an indicator of reduced demand.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":35,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9996280256,"gmtCreate":1661176004976,"gmtModify":1676536467182,"author":{"id":"3573789293829232","authorId":"3573789293829232","name":"btoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a7c2d714604fc804a48646ee397f912","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"K","listText":"K","text":"K","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9996280256","repostId":"2261515445","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2261515445","pubTimestamp":1661177189,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2261515445?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-08-22 22:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here's What You Should Know About the 3-for-1 Stock Split Approved By Tesla Shareholders","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2261515445","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Tesla's stock split will take place after the close of trading on Aug. 24, but don't expect to wake up to riches overnight.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>KEY POINTS</b></p><ul><li>Tesla shareholders voted in favor of a 3-for-1 stock split at the company&#39;s annual meeting on Aug. 4.</li><li>Shareholders will see more shares of Tesla stock in their account after the stock split takes place on Aug. 24.</li><li>The shares will trade at a split-adjusted price on Aug. 25.</li></ul><p><b>Tesla</b> is moving forward with its second stock split on Aug. 24.

A stock split in itself won&#39;t make a company&#39;s market capitalization rise or change its intrinsic value. But it does increase the number of a company&#39;s outstanding shares. You&#39;ll notice more shares of a company stock in your account, but the overall value of your shares won&#39;t change. That&#39;s why a stock split is not a taxable event in itself.

If you own 10 shares of Tesla, you&#39;ll have 30 shares later. If you own fractional shares, you&#39;ll still have a chance to participate in the stock split.

But that&#39;s not a big deal in this era since many investors can get their hands on stocks by purchasing fractional shares.

The stir is just a tempest in a teapot. There is no new short-selling champion for Tesla bears to hoist onto their shoulders.</p><p>A put option is, generally speaking, a bearish bet. It gives the holder the right to sell a stock at a fixed price in the future. Holders of put options do better the lower a stock price falls.</p><p>A quarterly regulatory filing indicated that Deer Park had amassed put-option contracts representing more than 4.8 million shares of Tesla (ticker: TSLA) stock. That much Tesla stock is worth roughly $4.3 billion at current prices. On the surface that looks like a massive bet.</p><p>But that isn&#39;t really the way options work. The price paid for an options contract depends on many factors including the strike price and time to contract expiration.</p><p>Consider Tesla put options that expire Friday Aug. 19, and give the holder the right to sell Tesla stock at about $800 a share are essentially trading for about one cent. Theoretically, amassing options contracts that reflect 4.8 million shares of Tesla could cost someone $48,000. That&#39;s a long way from $4.3 billion.</p><p>It wouldn&#39;t be a good idea, though. There isn&#39;t high probability that Tesla stock will drop about $100 in the final hour of trading Friday.</p><p>(There isn&#39;t much trading volume in those contracts. It&#39;s just an example.)</p><p>Deer Park Chief Investment Officer Scott Burg told Barron&#39;s the Tesla put-options position amounted to 0.1% of his portfolio. That isn&#39;t all that much, and indicates Deer Park probably paid the less than $1 per share represented the puts.</p><p>That isn&#39;t a lot for a stock worth about $900. That also means the put options were either expiring soon, or deeply out of the money, or both. Burg didn&#39;t get into contract specifics, but said the position was closed profitably. The tiny position is already gone.</p><p>Profits aren&#39;t hard to fathom. Tesla stock did fall, along with other technology shares, in the second quarter. Tesla stock dropped almost 38% from the end of March to the end of June while the Nasdaq Composite fell 22% over the same span.</p><p>Burg doesn&#39;t consider himself a big Tesla bear. He&#39;s says he is bearish on the overall economy and the consumer. He expects Tesla stock to struggle, but just like any other consumer discretionary stock this coming year.</p><p>The whole episode does illustrate an important lesson about options trading. There are many ways to use options in a portfolio.</p><p>Investors can buy options contracts far from current prices. They are cheap and only pay off if extreme events happen. They can also be used to bet on volatility. Options get more valuable as stock volatility rises and less valuable when volatility falls. Options can be used to hedge a portfolio, too.</p><p>What&#39;s more, bearish options bets can actually generate income for bullish investors. Take Tesla. It doesn&#39;t pay a dividend. If that irks some shareholders they can sell call options contracts. (Selling a call is similar to a put option. Both work out if the stock falls. It&#39;s a bearish bet.)</p><p>A Tesla holder selling a $900 call option that expires in September gets about $44. That&#39;s almost 5% the value of the Tesla stock.

The stir is just a tempest in a teapot. There is no new short-selling champion for Tesla bears to hoist onto their shoulders.A put option is, generally speaking, a bearish bet. It gives the holder the right to sell a stock at a fixed price in the future. Holders of put options do better the lower a stock price falls.A quarterly regulatory filing indicated that Deer Park had amassed put-option contracts representing more than 4.8 million shares of Tesla (ticker: TSLA) stock. That much Tesla stock is worth roughly $4.3 billion at current prices. On the surface that looks like a massive bet.But that isn't really the way options work. The price paid for an options contract depends on many factors including the strike price and time to contract expiration.Consider Tesla put options that expire Friday Aug. 19, and give the holder the right to sell Tesla stock at about $800 a share are essentially trading for about one cent. Theoretically, amassing options contracts that reflect 4.8 million shares of Tesla could cost someone $48,000. That's a long way from $4.3 billion.It wouldn't be a good idea, though. There isn't high probability that Tesla stock will drop about $100 in the final hour of trading Friday.(There isn't much trading volume in those contracts. It's just an example.)Deer Park Chief Investment Officer Scott Burg told Barron's the Tesla put-options position amounted to 0.1% of his portfolio. That isn't all that much, and indicates Deer Park probably paid the less than $1 per share represented the puts.That isn't a lot for a stock worth about $900. That also means the put options were either expiring soon, or deeply out of the money, or both. Burg didn't get into contract specifics, but said the position was closed profitably. The tiny position is already gone.Profits aren't hard to fathom. Tesla stock did fall, along with other technology shares, in the second quarter. Tesla stock dropped almost 38% from the end of March to the end of June while the Nasdaq Composite fell 22% over the same span.Burg doesn't consider himself a big Tesla bear. He's says he is bearish on the overall economy and the consumer. He expects Tesla stock to struggle, but just like any other consumer discretionary stock this coming year.The whole episode does illustrate an important lesson about options trading. There are many ways to use options in a portfolio.Investors can buy options contracts far from current prices. They are cheap and only pay off if extreme events happen. They can also be used to bet on volatility. Options get more valuable as stock volatility rises and less valuable when volatility falls. Options can be used to hedge a portfolio, too.What's more, bearish options bets can actually generate income for bullish investors. Take Tesla. It doesn't pay a dividend. If that irks some shareholders they can sell call options contracts. (Selling a call is similar to a put option. Both work out if the stock falls. It's a bearish bet.)A Tesla holder selling a $900 call option that expires in September gets about $44. That's almost 5% the value of the Tesla stock. The risk with selling call options against stock held is that the stock could go up. If Tesla hit $1,000, that holder would have essentially sold some of his position for $900, missing out on the additional gain.There are many other things pros do with options. People have careers trading options for brokerage firms and asset managers.However, options don't indicate with certainty how someone feels about the stock that underlies the options contract.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":29,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9998833117,"gmtCreate":1660962739541,"gmtModify":1676536431379,"author":{"id":"3573789293829232","authorId":"3573789293829232","name":"btoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a7c2d714604fc804a48646ee397f912","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"K","listText":"K","text":"K","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9998833117","repostId":"2260373492","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2260373492","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":1660953025,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2260373492?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-08-20 07:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-Wall Street Ends Down As Yields Rise; Indexes Post Weekly Losses","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2260373492","media":"Reuters","summary":"* Investors await Jackson Hole conference next week* 10-year U.S. Treasury yield nears 3%* Indexes: ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>* Investors await Jackson Hole conference next week</p><p>* 10-year U.S. Treasury yield nears 3%</p><p>* Indexes: Dow down 0.9%, S&amp;P 500 down 1.3%, Nasdaq down 2%</p><p>NEW YORK, Aug 19 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks fell on Friday in a broad selloff led by megacaps as U.S. bond yields rose, with the S&amp;P 500 posting losses for the week after four straight weeks of gains.</p><p>Amazon.com, Apple and Microsoft all fell and were the biggest drags on the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq.

The Dow lost about 0.2% for the week.After notching its worst first half since 1970, the S&P 500 has bounced some 16% from its mid-June low, fueled by stronger-than-expected corporate earnings and hopes the economy can avoid a recession even as the Fed hikes rates.Friday's monthly options expiration should also make way for greater near-term stock market moves as options positions expire, said Brent Kochuba, founder of options-focused financial insights company SpotGamma.The U.S. central bank needs to keep raising borrowing costs to tame decades-high inflation, a string of U.S. central bank officials said on Thursday, even as they debated how fast and how high to lift them.The Fed has raised its benchmark overnight interest rate by 225 basis points since March to fight inflation at a four decade-high.Focus next week may be on Fed Chair Jerome Powell's speech on the economic outlook at the annual global central bankers' conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.Meme stock Bed Bath & Beyond Inc plunged 40.5% as billionaire investor Ryan Cohen exited the struggling home goods retailer by selling his stake.The S&P banking index fell 2.1% after recent gains.Shares of Deere & Co ended slightly higher, even after it lowered its full-year profit outlook and said it has sold out of large tractors as it grapples with parts shortages and high costs.Volume on U.S. exchanges was last at 10.01 billion shares in one of the lowest volume days of the year.Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 6.06-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 3.59-to-1 ratio favored decliners.The S&P 500 posted 1 new 52-week highs and 29 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 43 new highs and 93 new lows.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":149,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":195707031,"gmtCreate":1621312904423,"gmtModify":1704355625997,"author":{"id":"3573789293829232","authorId":"3573789293829232","name":"btoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a7c2d714604fc804a48646ee397f912","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment pls ty","listText":"Like and comment pls ty","text":"Like and comment pls ty","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":7,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/195707031","repostId":"1187982931","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":129,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9092734078,"gmtCreate":1644726183262,"gmtModify":1676533957147,"author":{"id":"3573789293829232","authorId":"3573789293829232","name":"btoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a7c2d714604fc804a48646ee397f912","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"K","listText":"K","text":"K","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9092734078","repostId":"2210752103","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2210752103","pubTimestamp":1644714900,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2210752103?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-02-13 09:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"This Disruptive Company Has Explosive Growth Potential","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2210752103","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The company's latest innovation transforms how companies perform a routine task.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Paycom Software</b> (NYSE:PAYC) has been at the forefront of disrupting the payroll sector since CEO Chad Richison founded the company in 1998.

Between 1965 and 2020, Berkshire&#39;s stock has posted an annual average return of about 20%, while the Dow has an average annual return of roughly 7.75% between 1921 and 2019.</p><p>A big part of this is due to Buffett and Berkshire&#39;s more than $350 billion stock portfolio. While some stocks like <b>Apple</b> and <b>Bank of America</b> make up a huge percentage of the portfolio and are likely ones that Buffett and Berkshire consider to be safer, there are other smaller picks in the portfolio that Buffett and Berkshire may deem to be riskier but that also have much more potential upside. Here are three riskier Buffett stocks that can beat the Dow on a long-term basis.</p><h2>1. Citigroup</h2><p>As a shareholder, I was thrilled to see Buffett and Berkshire snag shares of <b>Citigroup</b> in the first quarter of this year. The bank has struggled for years to generate the same kind of returns as its large bank peers, leading many to believe it&#39;s a value trap. Citigroup has on numerous occasions traded below its tangible book value (TBV), or net worth, over the last decade. But this is the first time Berkshire has purchased the stock since 2001, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings.</p><p>In my view, it looks like this time may indeed be different with CEO Jane Fraser, who only took the reins of the bank about a year ago, planning major strategic changes including selling most of the bank&#39;s international consumer banking divisions, doubling down on areas of strength, and finally investing what is needed to fix regulatory issues.</p><p>The big risk here is that the transformation could still be a multi-year journey and investors are running out of patience, so there is very little margin for error and this is a stock that could continue to be a value trap. But trading at just 67% to its TBV, the stock has about 47% upside just to get back to TBV, which would still not even be considered a good valuation in today&#39;s banking industry.</p><p>Citigroup&#39;s investment banking unit, large U.S. deposit market share, and extremely global presence are certain attributes that would be difficult to replicate. The bank also has a dividend yield of roughly 3.8%, which will compensate investors nicely while they wait for the transformation plan to play out.</p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOM\">Ally Financial</a></h2><p>The large digital bank and auto lender <b>Ally Financial</b> is another stock that Berkshire scooped up at the beginning of this year that has a lot of the attributes of a classic Buffett stock. Not only does Ally trade at a cheap valuation, but it also returns a good amount of capital to shareholders. Despite generating strong returns in 2021 and guiding for smaller but still impressive returns going forward, Ally only trades at about 116% to its TBV and 5.6 times forward earnings.</p><p>Ally faces a few big risks. There could be a recession sometime in the near future that makes consumers default on their loans at higher rates than management is currently anticipating. There are also concerns over what will happen to used-car prices, which have been elevated, although Ally&#39;s management team is anticipating prices to eventually come down. Higher interest rates could also raise Ally&#39;s deposit costs and cut into margins, although the bank has significantly increased its retail deposit base in recent years.</p><p>Still, if Ally can overcome some of these near-term headwinds and still generate good returns, the stock will likely get rerated. Ally also returns a lot of capital to shareholders and is planning to execute a $2 billion stock buyback plan this year alone.</p><h2>3. Nu Holdings</h2><p>Berkshire has clearly taken an interest in Latin America&#39;s growing financial sector, and with good reason given the massive potential. Last year, Berkshire invested in the Brazilian challenger bank <b>Nu Holdings</b>, which has made massive progress with its frictionless, low-fee banking experience. Nu has acquired close to 60 million customers with a low, industry-leading customer acquisition cost. Nu currently banks 33% of the adult Brazilian population and has provided millions of its customers with their first bank account or credit card. Nu is also growing in Mexico and Colombia.</p><p>The risk here is that the Latin American market can be difficult, given high levels of inflation and volatile economic conditions.

Between 1965 and 2020, Berkshire's stock has posted an annual average return of about 20%, while the Dow has an average annual return of roughly 7.75% between 1921 and 2019.A big part of this is due to Buffett and Berkshire's more than $350 billion stock portfolio. While some stocks like Apple and Bank of America make up a huge percentage of the portfolio and are likely ones that Buffett and Berkshire consider to be safer, there are other smaller picks in the portfolio that Buffett and Berkshire may deem to be riskier but that also have much more potential upside. Here are three riskier Buffett stocks that can beat the Dow on a long-term basis.1. CitigroupAs a shareholder, I was thrilled to see Buffett and Berkshire snag shares of Citigroup in the first quarter of this year. The bank has struggled for years to generate the same kind of returns as its large bank peers, leading many to believe it's a value trap. Citigroup has on numerous occasions traded below its tangible book value (TBV), or net worth, over the last decade. But this is the first time Berkshire has purchased the stock since 2001, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings.In my view, it looks like this time may indeed be different with CEO Jane Fraser, who only took the reins of the bank about a year ago, planning major strategic changes including selling most of the bank's international consumer banking divisions, doubling down on areas of strength, and finally investing what is needed to fix regulatory issues.The big risk here is that the transformation could still be a multi-year journey and investors are running out of patience, so there is very little margin for error and this is a stock that could continue to be a value trap. But trading at just 67% to its TBV, the stock has about 47% upside just to get back to TBV, which would still not even be considered a good valuation in today's banking industry.Citigroup's investment banking unit, large U.S. deposit market share, and extremely global presence are certain attributes that would be difficult to replicate. The bank also has a dividend yield of roughly 3.8%, which will compensate investors nicely while they wait for the transformation plan to play out.2. Ally FinancialThe large digital bank and auto lender Ally Financial is another stock that Berkshire scooped up at the beginning of this year that has a lot of the attributes of a classic Buffett stock. Not only does Ally trade at a cheap valuation, but it also returns a good amount of capital to shareholders. Despite generating strong returns in 2021 and guiding for smaller but still impressive returns going forward, Ally only trades at about 116% to its TBV and 5.6 times forward earnings.Ally faces a few big risks. There could be a recession sometime in the near future that makes consumers default on their loans at higher rates than management is currently anticipating. There are also concerns over what will happen to used-car prices, which have been elevated, although Ally's management team is anticipating prices to eventually come down. Higher interest rates could also raise Ally's deposit costs and cut into margins, although the bank has significantly increased its retail deposit base in recent years.Still, if Ally can overcome some of these near-term headwinds and still generate good returns, the stock will likely get rerated. Ally also returns a lot of capital to shareholders and is planning to execute a $2 billion stock buyback plan this year alone.3. Nu HoldingsBerkshire has clearly taken an interest in Latin America's growing financial sector, and with good reason given the massive potential. Last year, Berkshire invested in the Brazilian challenger bank Nu Holdings, which has made massive progress with its frictionless, low-fee banking experience. Nu has acquired close to 60 million customers with a low, industry-leading customer acquisition cost. Nu currently banks 33% of the adult Brazilian population and has provided millions of its customers with their first bank account or credit card. Nu is also growing in Mexico and Colombia.The risk here is that the Latin American market can be difficult, given high levels of inflation and volatile economic conditions. Furthermore, Nu is not yet profitable and will likely face lots of competition. But the company is growing revenue significantly and after the huge sell-off of growth stocks this year, investors have the rare opportunity to buy Nu stock at a much cheaper valuation than when Buffett or Berkshire got in. Nu is a leading digital disruptor in one of the world's fastest-growing regions for banking.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":13,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9005818135,"gmtCreate":1642225670982,"gmtModify":1676533694559,"author":{"id":"3573789293829232","authorId":"3573789293829232","name":"btoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a7c2d714604fc804a48646ee397f912","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"K","listText":"K","text":"K","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9005818135","repostId":"2203201745","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2203201745","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":1642201908,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2203201745?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-01-15 07:11","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-Dow Closes Lower after Disappointing Bank Results","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2203201745","media":"Reuters","summary":"The Dow closed lower with a big drag from financial stocks as investors were disappointed by fourth quarter results from big U.S. banks, which cast a shadow over the earnings season kick-off.The Nasda","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The Dow closed lower with a big drag from financial stocks as investors were disappointed by fourth quarter results from big U.S. banks, which cast a shadow over the earnings season kick-off.</p><p>The Nasdaq and the S&amp;P regained lost ground in afternoon trading to close higher.

It is also a very difficult business to enter. In addition to massive capital requirements, success in the automotive business demands talented and experienced engineers, a network of factories, and powerful logistics to manage the complexities of the supply chain and manufacturing process.</p>\n<p>In the company’s recent earnings call, Tesla (TSLA) CEO, Elon Musk, compared it to the logistics of managing World War 2. His claim was perhaps a slight exaggeration, but it illustrates the point.</p>\n<p>Despite the low-profit margins and past failed attempts by the likes of Bricklin and DeLorean to enter the business, the promised advent of electric cars has produced a new wave of would-be automakers. Investors have piled into shares of these new entrants hoping to duplicate Tesla’s skyrocketing share performance, driving prices into bubble territory.</p>\n<p>However, Tesla’s financial results continue to demonstrate that the electric car business is no different from the rest of the automotive business. As more competition enters the BEV market prices are squeezed until profit margins are razor-thin. After 16 years of losses, Tesla finally reached profitability, not from selling cars, but from selling regulatory credits to other automakers. I think Tesla has clearly demonstrated that from a profitability viewpoint, electric cars are just cars with a different drive-train and the transformation to electric drives does not change the fundamental nature of the automotive business.</p>\n<p>The EV bubble is now deflating, Tesla is down 30% from its January high. Tesla’s would-be imitators have fared even worse, Lordstown Motors (RIDE) is down 73%, Fisker (FSR) -60%, Canoo (GOEV) – 62%. Tesla’s Chinese competitors' share prices are also falling, despite sharply rising sales. NIO (NIO) is down 40% and XPeng (XPEV) and Li Automotive (LIV) have both fallen more than 50%.</p>\n<p>Against this backdrop of falling share prices among EV companies, Tesla is facing a few headwinds of its own including:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Adverse publicity resulting from quality and safety issues and a public backlash that will probably impact sales in China, its fastest growth market</li>\n <li>Increasing doubts about the safety and capabilities of Tesla’s Full Self Driving option, and the associated liabilities</li>\n <li>Construction delays at the German factory</li>\n <li>Intense competition from legacy automakers in its key markets</li>\n</ul>\n<p>But there is one factor that does not get the same attention in the media but may have an impact on Tesla’s share price in the second half of this year. It is the potential selling pressure from the high volume of “in the money call” options that expire in the next year – The unwinding of the gamma squeeze that some investors claim was the reason why Tesla’s shares reached their astronomical heights last year.</p>\n<p>Option hedging has a significant impact on Tesla’s share price</p>\n<p>Typical trading volumes for TSLA options are around 1 million contracts per day, equivalent to 100 million shares. Share volumes are around 30 million per day, which includes volume generated by market makers option hedging. With those relative volume levels, options trading is certain to have a significant influence on Tesla’s share price.</p>\n<p><b>Delta hedging and the gamma squeeze</b></p>\n<p>When option market makers sell an option, they hedge their exposure by buying shares (or selling if they are exposed to put options). The number of shares they buy or sell (known as Delta) depends on the relative price movement between the option and its underlying share.</p>\n<p>The value of Delta changes with the share price and the time to expiry. The chart below shows how those changes affect the number of shares that the option market makers buy to hedge their call option exposure. Three curves are shown with one-week, four-week, and one-year expiry dates, the X-axis is the share price relative to the option strike price.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1f6fe1d60b7cacf9eece9460c672dc8f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"408\"><i>Variation of option price with share price and expiry: Data sourced from Option Council</i></p>\n<p>Last year, when Tesla shares were hot, a lot of investors bought long-dated “out of the money” call options which would have been delta hedged by the option market makers. The green curve on the chart above is the delta curve for options with a 1-year expiry.

It is also a very difficult business to enter. In addition to massive capital requirements, success in the automotive business demands talented and experienced engineers, a network of factories, and powerful logistics to manage the complexities of the supply chain and manufacturing process.\nIn the company’s recent earnings call, Tesla (TSLA) CEO, Elon Musk, compared it to the logistics of managing World War 2. His claim was perhaps a slight exaggeration, but it illustrates the point.\nDespite the low-profit margins and past failed attempts by the likes of Bricklin and DeLorean to enter the business, the promised advent of electric cars has produced a new wave of would-be automakers. Investors have piled into shares of these new entrants hoping to duplicate Tesla’s skyrocketing share performance, driving prices into bubble territory.\nHowever, Tesla’s financial results continue to demonstrate that the electric car business is no different from the rest of the automotive business. As more competition enters the BEV market prices are squeezed until profit margins are razor-thin. After 16 years of losses, Tesla finally reached profitability, not from selling cars, but from selling regulatory credits to other automakers. I think Tesla has clearly demonstrated that from a profitability viewpoint, electric cars are just cars with a different drive-train and the transformation to electric drives does not change the fundamental nature of the automotive business.\nThe EV bubble is now deflating, Tesla is down 30% from its January high. Tesla’s would-be imitators have fared even worse, Lordstown Motors (RIDE) is down 73%, Fisker (FSR) -60%, Canoo (GOEV) – 62%. Tesla’s Chinese competitors' share prices are also falling, despite sharply rising sales. NIO (NIO) is down 40% and XPeng (XPEV) and Li Automotive (LIV) have both fallen more than 50%.\nAgainst this backdrop of falling share prices among EV companies, Tesla is facing a few headwinds of its own including:\n\nAdverse publicity resulting from quality and safety issues and a public backlash that will probably impact sales in China, its fastest growth market\nIncreasing doubts about the safety and capabilities of Tesla’s Full Self Driving option, and the associated liabilities\nConstruction delays at the German factory\nIntense competition from legacy automakers in its key markets\n\nBut there is one factor that does not get the same attention in the media but may have an impact on Tesla’s share price in the second half of this year. It is the potential selling pressure from the high volume of “in the money call” options that expire in the next year – The unwinding of the gamma squeeze that some investors claim was the reason why Tesla’s shares reached their astronomical heights last year.\nOption hedging has a significant impact on Tesla’s share price\nTypical trading volumes for TSLA options are around 1 million contracts per day, equivalent to 100 million shares. Share volumes are around 30 million per day, which includes volume generated by market makers option hedging. With those relative volume levels, options trading is certain to have a significant influence on Tesla’s share price.\nDelta hedging and the gamma squeeze\nWhen option market makers sell an option, they hedge their exposure by buying shares (or selling if they are exposed to put options). The number of shares they buy or sell (known as Delta) depends on the relative price movement between the option and its underlying share.\nThe value of Delta changes with the share price and the time to expiry. The chart below shows how those changes affect the number of shares that the option market makers buy to hedge their call option exposure. Three curves are shown with one-week, four-week, and one-year expiry dates, the X-axis is the share price relative to the option strike price.\nVariation of option price with share price and expiry: Data sourced from Option Council\nLast year, when Tesla shares were hot, a lot of investors bought long-dated “out of the money” call options which would have been delta hedged by the option market makers. The green curve on the chart above is the delta curve for options with a 1-year expiry. As an example, a $400 call contract ($2,000 pre-split) bought a year ago, would have been on the left edge of the green curve, it would have been hedged at the time with the purchase of about 28 shares.\nIf the share price had stayed the same over the past year, those shares would have been gradually sold as the delta curve moved towards the orange and blue curves. However, Tesla's share price has risen and is now about 170% of the $400 call option strike price, the delta is 0.98, another 70 shares have been purchased for hedging.\nThis additional share buying for hedging is the \"gamma squeeze\". It has been one of the factors driving the price of Tesla shares upwards, and it will be a factor driving the share price down as the squeeze unwinds with the expiry of the options.\nOption expiry and the unwinding of the gamma squeeze\nAs the expiry date approaches, delta tends to a value of 1.00 for in-the-money options and zero for out-of-the-money options. In theory, market makers would like to be holding, at expiry, one share for every ITM call option minus one share for each ITM put option to which they are exposed.\nIf the options are held to expiry, they are exercised and the long or short position transfers to the option holder, with no effect on the market. However, most option holders do not hold the option to expiry, many will sell the option before expiry or hedge the position by buying or selling shares.\nSelling an ITM call option that has a delta of close to 1 causes the market maker to sell 100 shares and selling an ITM put option with a delta of close to 1 causes the market maker to buy 100 shares, so an imbalance between open interest in ITM calls and ITM puts will result in a net sale (or purchase)\nIf option trading were the only driver of market prices the share price on expiry would trend towards the point where the open interest in ITM calls equals the open interest in ITM puts. I’ll refer to that as the put/call balance point.\nThe effect of short expiry versus long expiry options\nMost weekly options don’t come to the market until 8 weeks before expiry, they tend to be traded at strike prices close to the share price, so the put/call balance point is usually close to the share price, and the impact on expiry is small.\nBut the options that have been on the market for longer, the June, September, and January regular options show a strong imbalance between ITM calls and ITM puts, and much higher overall open interest. Option market makers are holding significant long positions to hedge those ITM calls, and those long positions will unwind as the calls approach expiry, releasing millions of shares onto the market.\nBased on data from May 7th, open ITM call interest in the June 18thoptions exceeds ITM put interest by 170,000 contracts (17 million shares), the balance point is at $440 as shown in the chart below:\nOpen interest in Tesla Calls and Puts that are in the money at various share prices: Source data from Options Council, May 7th.\nIf this theory is correct, as the upcoming June 18thcall option expiry approaches it will tend to push the Tesla share price towards $440 as the gamma squeeze unwinds, creating downward pressure on the share price.\nThis does not all happen on options expiry day, open interest in the June ITM calls has been falling steadily since I started keeping records in February, indicating that some investors have been taking profits already.\nA falling share price generates downward gamma\nIn addition to the effects of options expiry, there is the gamma effect as the share price moves up or down.

Apple Inc. stock fell more than 2% in its worst session in almost three weeks after Bloomberg revealed the company’s plans to slow hiring and spending to cope with a potential economic downturn. The news, shortly after midday, sparked an immediate tumble.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/75e8cba754cf5ef5d07c43411b24f33f\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"562\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Until now, shares of the iPhone-maker had fallen roughly 17% for the year, in step with the broader market rout. The announcement undercut the market, with other big “FANG” internet platforms such as Alphabet Inc. and Microsoft Corp. also falling. The tech stalwart had been among the companies that beat Wall Street expectations throughout the pandemic, and had come to be seen as a defensive stock, so any negative news was bound to hurt sentiment across the market.</p><p>The development was particularly unwelcome as it came just as the tech sector appeared ready to rally. The Nasdaq 100, down 27% for the year so far, had briefly managed to get above its 50-day moving average on Monday, suggesting that the relentless downward trend was over — but the index failed to stay there, thanks in large part to Apple.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c8865f39c565e2fe056f4ea9e05bc0eb\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"562\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>There have been hopes that valuation is at last looking favorable for the tech sector once more — although this gets a little harder to sustain on closer examination. The spread between the prospective earnings multiples of the S&amp;P 500 Information Technology Sector and the benchmark S&amp;P 500 started this year at the highest it had been since 2004. A “healthy correction” was in order, and what looks like some seriously unhealthy speculative excess has now been wrung out of the market. However, it’s worth noting that from the Great Financial Crisis through to about 2018, tech basically traded at the same multiple as the rest of the market. Tech’s premium could easily fall further from here:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4127afed9347713bf291fc04a27c4584\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"562\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>There is a similar message from the tech index’s P/E ratio judged in its own right. It has slipped to 20.6 on Monday, having peaked above 30 in the first year of the pandemic. But 20 appears to be the level at which it hit a plateau in 2017 and 2018 — again while it looks like the excess has been blown off thetop, there’s no particular reason to think that the multiple can rebound.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f5c45ff60e2c3fba21870e2132590fb0\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"562\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Investors will get more clarity this week when more tech heavyweights report earnings following mixed results from major banks. Netflix Inc., savagely punished for disappointing results so far this year, will kick off the FANG stocks Tuesday evening. This is the season for all companies to get bad news off their chests, so the chances of a durable rebound should be much stronger once investors believe they know the worst.</p><p>Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek Research, would “prefer to get bullish” on US large-cap tech once he sees second-quarter earnings season, which will include third-quarter guidance. This, even as Wall Street’s forecast still remains relatively optimistic. “Even still, the return math says the Nasdaq is pretty washed out here on a relative basis,” he said.</p><blockquote><ul><li><i>While the surge in US tech stocks just after the March 2020 stock market lows was statistically remarkable, it was nothing like the dot com bubble. The peak in post-Pandemic Crisis NASDAQ outperformance was 21 points in August 2020. That is just over two standard deviations (18.4 points, as calculated above). By contrast, the 2000 dot com bubble saw the NASDAQ outperform the S&amp;P 500 by 77 points, which is nine standard deviations.</i></li></ul><ul><li><i>The NASDAQ rarely underperforms the S&amp;P 500 by much more than 6.8 points over 100 days, which is one standard deviation from the relative return mean... It exceeded those levels in late May 2022, at 11 points of relative underperformance.</i></li></ul><ul><li><i>The NASDAQ has underperformed the S&amp;P 500 by 4.3 points over the last 100 days, well within one standard deviation.</i></li></ul></blockquote><p>All of this suggests that the sector could have further to fall if the news is bad. Still, if earnings of tech companies prove profitable, or traders can be convinced that the worst news is known, it may solidify its status as the new defensive play, at least for now.</p><p>Colas is not alone in suggesting that the conditions for a bottom are not in place, despite the recent signs of life in the tech sector. Tom Essaye, a former Merrill Lynch trader who founded The Sevens Report, continues to suggest that some broader macro landmarks need to be passed before the market can make a durable bottom. His list is as follows:</p><blockquote><i>1. Chinese Lockdowns Ease and Growth Recovers — The Chinese economy has largely reopened, but this week’s shutdown in Macau and mass testing in Shanghai and other regions show that “Zero COVID” remains partially in effect and as a result, the threat of lockdowns will continue to weigh on Chinese stocks and the outlook for the global economy.</i></blockquote><blockquote><i>2. Inflation Peaks and Declines and the Fed Eases Off the Hawkish Rhetoric — Obviously we’re not close on this yet. The June CPI printed above 9% and it’s essentially a “toss up” as to whether we get a 75bps hike or a 100bps hike.</i></blockquote><blockquote><i>3. Geopolitical Tensions Decline — Certain commodities like wheat and corn have declined to pre-collision levels, as markets are hopeful that grain shipments from Ukraine will start again soon.

Apple Inc. stock fell more than 2% in its worst session in almost three weeks after Bloomberg revealed the company’s plans to slow hiring and spending to cope with a potential economic downturn. The news, shortly after midday, sparked an immediate tumble.Until now, shares of the iPhone-maker had fallen roughly 17% for the year, in step with the broader market rout. The announcement undercut the market, with other big “FANG” internet platforms such as Alphabet Inc. and Microsoft Corp. also falling. The tech stalwart had been among the companies that beat Wall Street expectations throughout the pandemic, and had come to be seen as a defensive stock, so any negative news was bound to hurt sentiment across the market.The development was particularly unwelcome as it came just as the tech sector appeared ready to rally. The Nasdaq 100, down 27% for the year so far, had briefly managed to get above its 50-day moving average on Monday, suggesting that the relentless downward trend was over — but the index failed to stay there, thanks in large part to Apple.There have been hopes that valuation is at last looking favorable for the tech sector once more — although this gets a little harder to sustain on closer examination. The spread between the prospective earnings multiples of the S&P 500 Information Technology Sector and the benchmark S&P 500 started this year at the highest it had been since 2004. A “healthy correction” was in order, and what looks like some seriously unhealthy speculative excess has now been wrung out of the market. However, it’s worth noting that from the Great Financial Crisis through to about 2018, tech basically traded at the same multiple as the rest of the market. Tech’s premium could easily fall further from here:There is a similar message from the tech index’s P/E ratio judged in its own right. It has slipped to 20.6 on Monday, having peaked above 30 in the first year of the pandemic. But 20 appears to be the level at which it hit a plateau in 2017 and 2018 — again while it looks like the excess has been blown off thetop, there’s no particular reason to think that the multiple can rebound.Investors will get more clarity this week when more tech heavyweights report earnings following mixed results from major banks. Netflix Inc., savagely punished for disappointing results so far this year, will kick off the FANG stocks Tuesday evening. This is the season for all companies to get bad news off their chests, so the chances of a durable rebound should be much stronger once investors believe they know the worst.Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek Research, would “prefer to get bullish” on US large-cap tech once he sees second-quarter earnings season, which will include third-quarter guidance. This, even as Wall Street’s forecast still remains relatively optimistic. “Even still, the return math says the Nasdaq is pretty washed out here on a relative basis,” he said.While the surge in US tech stocks just after the March 2020 stock market lows was statistically remarkable, it was nothing like the dot com bubble. The peak in post-Pandemic Crisis NASDAQ outperformance was 21 points in August 2020. That is just over two standard deviations (18.4 points, as calculated above). By contrast, the 2000 dot com bubble saw the NASDAQ outperform the S&P 500 by 77 points, which is nine standard deviations.The NASDAQ rarely underperforms the S&P 500 by much more than 6.8 points over 100 days, which is one standard deviation from the relative return mean... It exceeded those levels in late May 2022, at 11 points of relative underperformance.The NASDAQ has underperformed the S&P 500 by 4.3 points over the last 100 days, well within one standard deviation.All of this suggests that the sector could have further to fall if the news is bad. Still, if earnings of tech companies prove profitable, or traders can be convinced that the worst news is known, it may solidify its status as the new defensive play, at least for now.Colas is not alone in suggesting that the conditions for a bottom are not in place, despite the recent signs of life in the tech sector. Tom Essaye, a former Merrill Lynch trader who founded The Sevens Report, continues to suggest that some broader macro landmarks need to be passed before the market can make a durable bottom. His list is as follows:1. Chinese Lockdowns Ease and Growth Recovers — The Chinese economy has largely reopened, but this week’s shutdown in Macau and mass testing in Shanghai and other regions show that “Zero COVID” remains partially in effect and as a result, the threat of lockdowns will continue to weigh on Chinese stocks and the outlook for the global economy.2. Inflation Peaks and Declines and the Fed Eases Off the Hawkish Rhetoric — Obviously we’re not close on this yet. The June CPI printed above 9% and it’s essentially a “toss up” as to whether we get a 75bps hike or a 100bps hike.3. Geopolitical Tensions Decline — Certain commodities like wheat and corn have declined to pre-collision levels, as markets are hopeful that grain shipments from Ukraine will start again soon. But energy commodities, despite large drops, remain above pre-invasion levels (oil and natural gas). Additionally, the drops have been driven by fears of a global recession crimping demand and lack of export capacity in the US (for natural gas), not on some geopolitical improvement.Until these macroeconomic factors are resolved, and it could take a while, Essaye does not think the June low in equities is the bottom, while the market remains vulnerable to any disappointments. Apple delivered just such a disappointment on Monday; now the question is whether further ones lie ahead.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":7,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9081568333,"gmtCreate":1650254074842,"gmtModify":1676534680066,"author":{"id":"3573789293829232","authorId":"3573789293829232","name":"btoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a7c2d714604fc804a48646ee397f912","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"K","listText":"K","text":"K","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9081568333","repostId":"2228379987","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2228379987","pubTimestamp":1650237595,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2228379987?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-04-18 07:19","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Netflix, Tesla Earnings: What to Know in Markets This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2228379987","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"This week, earnings season is set to ramp up, offering investors a fresh set of data on the strength of corporate profits in the face of elevated inflationary pressure.Two of the major names reporting","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>This week, earnings season is set to ramp up, offering investors a fresh set of data on the strength of corporate profits in the face of elevated inflationary pressure.</p><p>Two of the major names reporting this week will include Netflix (NFLX) and Tesla (TSLA), offering an early look at how some of the mega-cap technology companies performed in the early part of the year.</p><p>The other names set to report this week will span a range of industries, broadening out from last week&#39;s bank-dominated results. Companies including United Airlines (UAL), American Express (AXP), Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ) and Kimberly-Clark (KMB) are each on deck to report in the coming days.</p><p>For earnings season so far, results have been mixed, albeit heavily skewed toward the slew of financial names that reported last week including JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Goldman Sachs (GS). About 7% of S&amp;P 500 index components have reported actual Q1 results so far, and 77% of these have topped Wall Street&#39;s earnings per share (EPS) estimates, matching the five-year average percentage, according to data from FactSet. The estimated earnings growth rate for the index currently stands at 5.1%, which if carried through the rest of the season would mark the lowest earnings growth rate for the index since the fourth quarter of 2020.</p><h2><b>Netflix earnings</b></h2><p>Netflix is set to report results on Tuesday, with investors closely watching for further signs of a slowdown in the streaming giant&#39;s growth after a pandemic-era surge in subscriber numbers.</p><p>Analysts&#39; consensus estimates are looking for Netflix to have added about 2.51 million subscribers for the first quarter, which would mark the least since the second quarter of 2021. This would bring Netflix&#39;s total subscribers to just under 225 million. In the same quarter last year, subscribers grew by nearly 4 million.</p><p>Though Netflix has already seen subscriber growth slow sharply from a pandemic-era peak, the streaming giant&#39;s exit from Russia in early March is also set to further contribute to the deceleration. The Los Gatos, Calif.-based company suspended operations in Russia on March 6 over the country&#39;s invasion of Ukraine, and since then, analysts further trimmed their subscriber estimates.</p><p>&#34;We now expect paid net adds of 1.45MM, below guide of 2.5MM given Russia suspension (~1MM subs),&#34; Cowen analyst John Blackledge wrote in a note last week. The firm also lowered its price target on Netflix to $590 a share from $600 previously, on account of the lower subscriber growth forecast.</p><p>Other analysts also suggested that Netflix&#39;s churn, or subscriber losses, could increase in the quarter after the company announced a price increase for subscribers in the U.S. and Canada in January. But revenue pulled from these price increases could also be used to help Netflix build out bigger content slates and drive growth in less saturated markets internationally, others pointed out.</p><p>&#34;Netflix appears to be nearing a ceiling on UCAN (U.S. and Canada) subscribers, and is pulling new levers to lower churn,&#34; Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter wrote in a note. &#34;Subscription price increases in the West should fuel additional content production and growth in other regions, and our bias is that cash flow will turn positive in 2022 and beyond, as management has guided. However, subscriber growth will likely occur primarily in less developed regions at lower subscription prices, with Western subscribers paying higher rates to fund new content.&#34;</p><p>&#34;Content dumps, where all episodes of a new season are delivered at the same instant, will likely keep churn high, as price conscious consumers can swap out of Netflix and shift to a competitor service after viewing the content they desire,&#34; he added. &#34;Sustainable profit growth should continue so long as Netflix is able to continue raising subscription prices, but competition may limit future price increases.&#34;</p><p>Overall, Netflix is expected to report GAAP earnings of $2.91 per share on revenue of $7.95 billion, which on the top line would represent just a 11% increase over last year. In the same quarter in 2021, revenue grew 24%.</p><p>Shares of Netflix have fallen 43% for the year-to-date in 2022, underperforming against the S&amp;P 500&#39;s 7.8% drop over that same period.</p><h2>Tesla earnings</h2><p>Meanwhile, another major company set to report results this week will be Tesla.</p><p>The electric vehicle maker is scheduled to post its quarterly report Wednesday after market close. Ahead of these results, Tesla announced record deliveries of more than 310,000 during the first three months of this year. That represented a 68% jump over last year&#39;s deliveries. Tesla has sought to average 50% growth in annual vehicle deliveries.</p><p>Production, however, slipped slightly on a quarter-over-quarter basis, with output coming in at 305,407 for the first quarter compared to 305,840 during the final three months of 2021. Tesla, like many other automakers, has continued to grapple with lingering supply chain challenges and rising input costs, leading CEO Elon Musk to suggest that the company may begin mining its own lithium for batteries as metal prices soar.</p><p>&#34;Right now Tesla has a high-class problem of demand outstripping supply with this issue now translating into ~5-6 month delays for Model Ys, some Model 3s in different parts of the globe,&#34; Wedbush analyst Dan Ives wrote in a note. &#34;The key to alleviating these issues is centered around the key Giga openings in Austin and Berlin which will alleviate the bottlenecks of production for Tesla globally.&#34;</p><p>Just earlier this month, Tesla officially began delivering its first Texas-made vehicles from its new Austin Gigafactory. At Tesla&#39;s &#34;Cyber Rodeo&#34; launch party on April 7, Musk said the facility was aiming to begin building the Tesla Cybertruck starting in 2023 and has targeted making 500,000 units of the Model Y per year.</p><p>The newly made U.S. Gigafactory is set to be pivotal in helping Tesla further ramp production and help meet demand domestically, especially given snarls internationally as Tesla&#39;s Shanghai Gigafactory closed for weeks due to a COVID outbreak in the region.</p><p><i>&#34;</i>We believe by the end of 2022 Tesla will have the run rate capacity for overall ~2 million units annually from roughly 1 million today,&#34; Ives added. &#34;While the China zero COVID policy is causing shutdowns in Shanghai for Tesla (and others) and remains a worrying trend if it continues, seeing the forest through the trees with Austin and Berlin now live and ramping, Musk &amp; Co. will continue to flex its distribution muscles in the EV landscape while many other automakers struggle to get things off the ground.&#34;</p><p>While Tesla shares have outperformed the S&amp;P 500 for the year-to-date, the stock came under pressure on Thursday after Musk disclosed he made an offer to buy social media company <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> (TWTR) for $54.20 per share, or about $43 billion in cash. Many have noted Musk would likely have to sell Tesla shares in order to finance the deal if it were to go through.</p><p>In Tesla&#39;s first-quarter results, Wall Street is looking for the company to post adjusted earnings of $2.27 per share on revenue of $17.85 billion, representing sales growth of 65%.</p><h2>Economic calendar</h2><ul><li><p><b>Monday: </b>NAHB Housing Market Index, April (77 expected, 79 in March)</p></li><li><p><b>Tuesday: </b>Housing starts, March (1.745 million expected, 1.769 million in February); Building permits, March (1.830 million expected, 1.859 million in February)</p></li><li><p><b>Wednesday: </b>MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended April 15 (-1.3% during prior week); Existing home sales, March (5.78 million expected, 6.02 million in February); Federal Reserve releases Beige Book</p></li><li><p><b>Thursday: </b>Philadelphia Fed Business Outlook index, April (20.5 expected, 27.4 in March); Initial jobless claims, week ended April 16 (185,000 during prior week); Continuing claims, week ended April 9 (1.475 million during prior week); Leading Index, March (0.3% expected, 0.3% in February)</p></li><li><p><b>Friday: </b>S&amp;P Global U.S. Manufacturing PMI, April preliminary (57.8 expected, 58.8 in March); S&amp;P Global U.S. Services PMI, April preliminary (58.1 expected, 58.0 in March); S&amp;P Global U.S. Composite PMI, April preliminary (57.7 in March)</p></li></ul><h2>Earnings calendar</h2><h2><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c5fcaf90030c6d8be015e91c8c372d74\" tg-width=\"1800\" tg-height=\"1430\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></h2><p><b>Monday</b></p><p>Before market open: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SYF\">Synchrony Financial</a> (SYF), Bank of New York Mellon Corp.

Companies including United Airlines (UAL), American Express (AXP), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Kimberly-Clark (KMB) are each on deck to report in the coming days.For earnings season so far, results have been mixed, albeit heavily skewed toward the slew of financial names that reported last week including JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Goldman Sachs (GS). About 7% of S&P 500 index components have reported actual Q1 results so far, and 77% of these have topped Wall Street's earnings per share (EPS) estimates, matching the five-year average percentage, according to data from FactSet. The estimated earnings growth rate for the index currently stands at 5.1%, which if carried through the rest of the season would mark the lowest earnings growth rate for the index since the fourth quarter of 2020.Netflix earningsNetflix is set to report results on Tuesday, with investors closely watching for further signs of a slowdown in the streaming giant's growth after a pandemic-era surge in subscriber numbers.Analysts' consensus estimates are looking for Netflix to have added about 2.51 million subscribers for the first quarter, which would mark the least since the second quarter of 2021. This would bring Netflix's total subscribers to just under 225 million. In the same quarter last year, subscribers grew by nearly 4 million.Though Netflix has already seen subscriber growth slow sharply from a pandemic-era peak, the streaming giant's exit from Russia in early March is also set to further contribute to the deceleration. The Los Gatos, Calif.-based company suspended operations in Russia on March 6 over the country's invasion of Ukraine, and since then, analysts further trimmed their subscriber estimates.\"We now expect paid net adds of 1.45MM, below guide of 2.5MM given Russia suspension (~1MM subs),\" Cowen analyst John Blackledge wrote in a note last week. The firm also lowered its price target on Netflix to $590 a share from $600 previously, on account of the lower subscriber growth forecast.Other analysts also suggested that Netflix's churn, or subscriber losses, could increase in the quarter after the company announced a price increase for subscribers in the U.S. and Canada in January. But revenue pulled from these price increases could also be used to help Netflix build out bigger content slates and drive growth in less saturated markets internationally, others pointed out.\"Netflix appears to be nearing a ceiling on UCAN (U.S. and Canada) subscribers, and is pulling new levers to lower churn,\" Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter wrote in a note. \"Subscription price increases in the West should fuel additional content production and growth in other regions, and our bias is that cash flow will turn positive in 2022 and beyond, as management has guided. However, subscriber growth will likely occur primarily in less developed regions at lower subscription prices, with Western subscribers paying higher rates to fund new content.\"\"Content dumps, where all episodes of a new season are delivered at the same instant, will likely keep churn high, as price conscious consumers can swap out of Netflix and shift to a competitor service after viewing the content they desire,\" he added. \"Sustainable profit growth should continue so long as Netflix is able to continue raising subscription prices, but competition may limit future price increases.\"Overall, Netflix is expected to report GAAP earnings of $2.91 per share on revenue of $7.95 billion, which on the top line would represent just a 11% increase over last year. In the same quarter in 2021, revenue grew 24%.Shares of Netflix have fallen 43% for the year-to-date in 2022, underperforming against the S&P 500's 7.8% drop over that same period.Tesla earningsMeanwhile, another major company set to report results this week will be Tesla.The electric vehicle maker is scheduled to post its quarterly report Wednesday after market close. Ahead of these results, Tesla announced record deliveries of more than 310,000 during the first three months of this year. That represented a 68% jump over last year's deliveries. Tesla has sought to average 50% growth in annual vehicle deliveries.Production, however, slipped slightly on a quarter-over-quarter basis, with output coming in at 305,407 for the first quarter compared to 305,840 during the final three months of 2021. Tesla, like many other automakers, has continued to grapple with lingering supply chain challenges and rising input costs, leading CEO Elon Musk to suggest that the company may begin mining its own lithium for batteries as metal prices soar.\"Right now Tesla has a high-class problem of demand outstripping supply with this issue now translating into ~5-6 month delays for Model Ys, some Model 3s in different parts of the globe,\" Wedbush analyst Dan Ives wrote in a note. \"The key to alleviating these issues is centered around the key Giga openings in Austin and Berlin which will alleviate the bottlenecks of production for Tesla globally.\"Just earlier this month, Tesla officially began delivering its first Texas-made vehicles from its new Austin Gigafactory. At Tesla's \"Cyber Rodeo\" launch party on April 7, Musk said the facility was aiming to begin building the Tesla Cybertruck starting in 2023 and has targeted making 500,000 units of the Model Y per year.The newly made U.S. Gigafactory is set to be pivotal in helping Tesla further ramp production and help meet demand domestically, especially given snarls internationally as Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory closed for weeks due to a COVID outbreak in the region.\"We believe by the end of 2022 Tesla will have the run rate capacity for overall ~2 million units annually from roughly 1 million today,\" Ives added. \"While the China zero COVID policy is causing shutdowns in Shanghai for Tesla (and others) and remains a worrying trend if it continues, seeing the forest through the trees with Austin and Berlin now live and ramping, Musk & Co. will continue to flex its distribution muscles in the EV landscape while many other automakers struggle to get things off the ground.\"While Tesla shares have outperformed the S&P 500 for the year-to-date, the stock came under pressure on Thursday after Musk disclosed he made an offer to buy social media company Twitter (TWTR) for $54.20 per share, or about $43 billion in cash. Many have noted Musk would likely have to sell Tesla shares in order to finance the deal if it were to go through.In Tesla's first-quarter results, Wall Street is looking for the company to post adjusted earnings of $2.27 per share on revenue of $17.85 billion, representing sales growth of 65%.Economic calendarMonday: NAHB Housing Market Index, April (77 expected, 79 in March)Tuesday: Housing starts, March (1.745 million expected, 1.769 million in February); Building permits, March (1.830 million expected, 1.859 million in February)Wednesday: MBA Mortgage Applications, week ended April 15 (-1.3% during prior week); Existing home sales, March (5.78 million expected, 6.02 million in February); Federal Reserve releases Beige BookThursday: Philadelphia Fed Business Outlook index, April (20.5 expected, 27.4 in March); Initial jobless claims, week ended April 16 (185,000 during prior week); Continuing claims, week ended April 9 (1.475 million during prior week); Leading Index, March (0.3% expected, 0.3% in February)Friday: S&P Global U.S. Manufacturing PMI, April preliminary (57.8 expected, 58.8 in March); S&P Global U.S. Services PMI, April preliminary (58.1 expected, 58.0 in March); S&P Global U.S. Composite PMI, April preliminary (57.7 in March)Earnings calendarMondayBefore market open: Synchrony Financial (SYF), Bank of New York Mellon Corp.

AMD’s Lisa Susays that growth in demandfor console upgrades is surpassing “all prior generations.” That makes this is a key segment to watch.AMD said that it has been spending $1 billion in the current year on securing long-term supplies. AMD suggests that it will be able to grow without too much of a problem in 2022, which is encouraging news considering the worldwide chip shortage that is happening now.The semiconductor company set a revenue goal of $21.5 billion for 2022, ahead of analyst expectations of $19.3 billion. This would be a 31% increase over 2021′s sales, thanks to the launch of Ryzen and Vega products this year.AMDexpects to have $5 billion in salesin the first quarter. Most of the sales will come from servers and computers due to AMD’s success with processors. All of these numbers help it feature prominently on this list of semiconductor stocks to buy.Camtek Source: Pavel Kapysh via shutterstockCamtek is a world leader in designing and manufacturing metrology equipment for advanced packaging, memory CMOS image sensors and RF technologies. The company offers dedicated solutions that help improve yield rates while driving down production costs across all industries. In other words, Camtek’s products are essential tools used by companies throughout their entire supply chain.With the need for more semiconductors continuing, it’s no surprise that there are plans to build many new plants. This part of the value chain isn’t exactly glamorous but it is integral in getting these projects off their feet and ramped up quickly enough before producing anything valuable or selling any products.Camtek has traditionally been one of the top companies in the market, and it saw a53% increase in its revenue in its latest quarterly results. GAAP operating income was $19.3 million while non-GAAP operating income was $20.9 million, providing a margin of 26% and 28.2%, respectively. Operating cash flow of $21.5 million is a strong figure to close out the quarter.The company reported record annual revenues of $269.7 million, an increase of 73% compared to the previous year. Record GAAP operating income of $70.9 million, non-GAAP operating income of $76.7 million and 28.4% operating margins, respectively. These are high levels in contrast to the average found throughout most companies.Ambarella Source: Sundry Photography / Shutterstock.comYou need to look at the semiconductor industry in general when assessing how well a company has scaled to success. The best thing you can do is to invest in a company with a diversified business model. Some of this appeal comes from niche players.Still, some want a more specific focus as Ambarella does — its chips are designed for low power and high definition video compression applications, which it markets under an established brand name.Think of the numerous ways that Ambarella’s technology is used in today’s world. Products such as Alphabet’s(NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google Nest and GoPro(NASDAQ:GPRO) cameras have successfully implemented this chip into their respective products, showing us just how quickly things can change if we let them.Due to threats of interest rate hikes, growth stocks are not doing so well. But that doesn’t mean the time is right to bail on this one. Ambarella is a company that specializes in creating semiconductor solutions for the automotive industry. They make up the core of the car’s “brain” and provide software to help cars learn and react to their environment.Considering the breadth of its services and use cases, this is a stock that you need to have in your portfolio.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":93,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9093415780,"gmtCreate":1643685462866,"gmtModify":1676533844132,"author":{"id":"3573789293829232","authorId":"3573789293829232","name":"btoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a7c2d714604fc804a48646ee397f912","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"K","listText":"K","text":"K","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9093415780","repostId":"2208335465","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2208335465","pubTimestamp":1643670433,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2208335465?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-02-01 07:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-Nasdaq Narrowly Misses Worst January Ever as Wall Street Gains","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2208335465","media":"Reuters","summary":"* Nasdaq posts worst January since 2008* S&P 500, Dow see worst month since March 2020* Citrix falls","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>* Nasdaq posts worst January since 2008</p><p>* S&amp;P 500, Dow see worst month since March 2020</p><p>* Citrix falls on $16.5 bln deal to take it private</p><p>* Indexes end up: Dow 1.17%, S&amp;P 1.89%, Nasdaq 3.41%</p><p>Jan 31 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks closed higher on Monday, at the end of a volatile month for Wall Street where the tech-heavy Nasdaq narrowly avoided its worst ever start to the year and the S&amp;P 500 recorded its weakest January performance since 2009.</p><p>Valuations of growth and technology stocks have come under increasing scrutiny, as investors fretted about companies trading at lofty valuations at a time when the U.S. Federal Reserve is set to begin raising interest rates to combat inflation and withdraw its pandemic stimulus measures.</p><p>In early Monday trading, the Nasdaq was on course to surpass its worst opening-month performance on record, when it fell 9.89% in 2008.

Buffett isn't infallible, but he's delivered an annual average return of 20% since the mid-1960s for his shareholders. In aggregate, we're talking about a return of more than 2,800,000%!</p>\n<p>What's even more amazing is that Buffett hasn't done anything the average investors couldn't do to net these huge gains. He focuses on a few sectors and industries that interest him, buys companies with clear-cut competitive advantages, and most importantly hangs onto those stakes for a very long time.</p>\n<p>Another source of Buffett's success is concentration. The Oracle of Omaha doesn't believe diversification is necessary if you know what you're doing. This is readily apparent in Berkshire Hathaway's $302.6 billion investment portfolio. As of this past weekend, 85% of Berkshire's invested assets ($257.3 billion) were tied up in only 10 stocks.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/601f21f3cc2f9e5524bd5d613063faa2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.</span></p>\n<h2>1. Apple: $115.6 billion</h2>\n<p>Tech kingpin <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL) makes up about 38% of Warren Buffett's portfolio by itself and has been dubbed \"Berkshire's third business\" by the Oracle of Omaha. Apple offers some of the strongest branding in the world, is the clear leader in smartphones in the U.S., and has been pivoting to higher-margin services under the leadership of CEO Tim Cook. Though iPhone sales remain Apple's top product, services becoming a larger percentage of total sales will help remove the revenue lumpiness associated with new product launches.</p>\n<h2>2. Bank of America: $43.2 billion</h2>\n<p>Bank stocks have long been Buffett's favorite place to put Berkshire's money work. <b>Bank of America</b> (NYSE:BAC) is Berkshire's unquestioned largest bank holding, with more than 14% of invested assets. Bank of America has done an excellent job of controlling its noninterest expenses by consolidating branches and emphasizing digital banking. It's also in line to benefit more than any other money-center bank from an eventual rise in interest rates.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed3e6a16841306014bf0cfc3b1697b23\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: American <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPR\">Express</a>.</span></p>\n<h2>3. American Express: $24.9 billion</h2>\n<p>Payment processor and lender <b>American Express</b> (NYSE:AXP) is Buffett's third-largest and third-longest-held stock. After 28 years of holding AmEx, Berkshire Hathaway's position has grown to almost $25 billion in value. This is a cyclical company that benefits from long periods of economic expansion, as well as its ability to attract affluent clientele. These well-to-do clients are less likely to change their spending habits when economic hiccups arise, which often means less worry about credit delinquencies for AmEx.</p>\n<h2>4. Coca-Cola: $22.5 billion</h2>\n<p>Speaking of long-tenured holdings, beverage behemoth <b>Coca-Cola</b> (NYSE:KO) is the longest-held stock in Buffett's portfolio (33 years). Coca-Cola operates in all but two countries worldwide (North Korea and Cuba) and has more than 20 brands generating at least $1 billion in annual sales. Thanks to its top-notch marketing team, it's also the best-known consumer goods brand. Coke has holiday tie-ins, has allied itself with well-known brand ambassadors, and is embracing digital advertising and social media as a way to get its message to a younger generation.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cc21d6aabfd53f63ded95ae16cbd64e1\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"468\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>5. Kraft Heinz: $14.1 billion</h2>\n<p>There's little question that <b>Kraft Heinz</b> (NASDAQ:KHC) is the oddball holding in Buffett's top 10. That's because Buffett admits to Heinz overpaying for Kraft Foods, and the combined company largely underperforming in recent years. This includes a greater than $15 billion goodwill writedown in 2019. While the pandemic has helped boost demand for packaged foods, Kraft Heinz's balance sheet is still bogged down by high debt levels and goodwill. In short, Berkshire Hathaway is sort of stuck with its 325.6 million shares.</p>\n<h2>6. Verizon Communications: $9.1 billion</h2>\n<p>Telecommunications giant <b>Verizon</b> (NYSE:VZ) is a fairly recent addition to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, although it's been bought hand over fist in the previous two quarters by Buffett and his team. The lure of Verizon is likely its 4.4% dividend yield, which is arguably <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the safest high-yield payouts on the planet. What's more, Verizon should benefit immensely from the rollout of 5G infrastructure. It's been a decade since the last major upgrade to download speeds, which suggests that a multiyear tech upgrade cycle will lead to higher-margin data consumption.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7343c3ce7330b86321a8ec9384d4baea\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>7. U.S. Bancorp: $8.7 billion</h2>\n<p>Next to BofA, <b>U.S. Bancorp</b> (NYSE:USB) is Buffett's favorite bank stock. It's a company that regularly trades at a premium to its book value -- and for good reason. U.S. Bancorp has seen its users embrace technology, with the percentage of consumer loans completed digitally skyrocketing over the past two years. Being able to consolidate its physical branches, while also avoiding riskier derivative investments that have gotten U.S. money-center banks in trouble, has helped U.S. Bancorp to some of the highest return on assets among big banks.</p>\n<h2>8. Moody's: $8.5 billion</h2>\n<p>Credit agency and analytics company <b>Moody's</b> (NYSE:MCO) is yet another top-10 holding that's been held for longer than two decades. With an initial cost basis of just over $10, Berkshire Hathaway is sitting on an unrealized gain of better than 3,300% -- and this isn't accounting for dividends. Historically low lending rates have kept Moody's credit rating segment busy, while volatile trading markets are boosting demand for Moody's analytics. It's hard to envision Buffett ever selling this stake.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8abdae403dddfa42107e06ea5bfddf39\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>9. BYD: $6.2 billion</h2>\n<p>Back in 2008, Buffett acquired 225 million shares of China-based electric-vehicle (EV) manufacturer <b>BYD</b> (OTC:BYDDY)&nbsp;for $1.03 a share (it closed this past week at $27.65 a share). In March, BYD sold 16,301 EVs, which is more than higher-profile competitors <b>NIO</b>&nbsp;and <b>XPeng</b>&nbsp;delivered on a combined basis in the same month. With the Society of Automotive Engineers of China forecasting that half of all new vehicles sales in 2035 will be powered by alternative energy, BYD is in pole position to disrupt the largest auto market in the world.</p>\n<h2>10. DaVita: $4.4 billion</h2>\n<p>Rounding out the top 10 is kidney dialysis services company <b>DaVita</b> (NYSE:DVA). Buffett's fascination with the company is likely a numbers play.

Buffett isn't infallible, but he's delivered an annual average return of 20% since the mid-1960s for his shareholders. In aggregate, we're talking about a return of more than 2,800,000%!\nWhat's even more amazing is that Buffett hasn't done anything the average investors couldn't do to net these huge gains. He focuses on a few sectors and industries that interest him, buys companies with clear-cut competitive advantages, and most importantly hangs onto those stakes for a very long time.\nAnother source of Buffett's success is concentration. The Oracle of Omaha doesn't believe diversification is necessary if you know what you're doing. This is readily apparent in Berkshire Hathaway's $302.6 billion investment portfolio. As of this past weekend, 85% of Berkshire's invested assets ($257.3 billion) were tied up in only 10 stocks.\nBerkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.\n1. Apple: $115.6 billion\nTech kingpin Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) makes up about 38% of Warren Buffett's portfolio by itself and has been dubbed \"Berkshire's third business\" by the Oracle of Omaha. Apple offers some of the strongest branding in the world, is the clear leader in smartphones in the U.S., and has been pivoting to higher-margin services under the leadership of CEO Tim Cook. Though iPhone sales remain Apple's top product, services becoming a larger percentage of total sales will help remove the revenue lumpiness associated with new product launches.\n2. Bank of America: $43.2 billion\nBank stocks have long been Buffett's favorite place to put Berkshire's money work. Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) is Berkshire's unquestioned largest bank holding, with more than 14% of invested assets. Bank of America has done an excellent job of controlling its noninterest expenses by consolidating branches and emphasizing digital banking. It's also in line to benefit more than any other money-center bank from an eventual rise in interest rates.\nImage source: American Express.\n3. American Express: $24.9 billion\nPayment processor and lender American Express (NYSE:AXP) is Buffett's third-largest and third-longest-held stock. After 28 years of holding AmEx, Berkshire Hathaway's position has grown to almost $25 billion in value. This is a cyclical company that benefits from long periods of economic expansion, as well as its ability to attract affluent clientele. These well-to-do clients are less likely to change their spending habits when economic hiccups arise, which often means less worry about credit delinquencies for AmEx.\n4. Coca-Cola: $22.5 billion\nSpeaking of long-tenured holdings, beverage behemoth Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) is the longest-held stock in Buffett's portfolio (33 years). Coca-Cola operates in all but two countries worldwide (North Korea and Cuba) and has more than 20 brands generating at least $1 billion in annual sales. Thanks to its top-notch marketing team, it's also the best-known consumer goods brand. Coke has holiday tie-ins, has allied itself with well-known brand ambassadors, and is embracing digital advertising and social media as a way to get its message to a younger generation.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n5. Kraft Heinz: $14.1 billion\nThere's little question that Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC) is the oddball holding in Buffett's top 10. That's because Buffett admits to Heinz overpaying for Kraft Foods, and the combined company largely underperforming in recent years. This includes a greater than $15 billion goodwill writedown in 2019. While the pandemic has helped boost demand for packaged foods, Kraft Heinz's balance sheet is still bogged down by high debt levels and goodwill. In short, Berkshire Hathaway is sort of stuck with its 325.6 million shares.\n6. Verizon Communications: $9.1 billion\nTelecommunications giant Verizon (NYSE:VZ) is a fairly recent addition to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio, although it's been bought hand over fist in the previous two quarters by Buffett and his team. The lure of Verizon is likely its 4.4% dividend yield, which is arguably one of the safest high-yield payouts on the planet. What's more, Verizon should benefit immensely from the rollout of 5G infrastructure. It's been a decade since the last major upgrade to download speeds, which suggests that a multiyear tech upgrade cycle will lead to higher-margin data consumption.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n7. U.S. Bancorp: $8.7 billion\nNext to BofA, U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) is Buffett's favorite bank stock. It's a company that regularly trades at a premium to its book value -- and for good reason. U.S. Bancorp has seen its users embrace technology, with the percentage of consumer loans completed digitally skyrocketing over the past two years. Being able to consolidate its physical branches, while also avoiding riskier derivative investments that have gotten U.S. money-center banks in trouble, has helped U.S. Bancorp to some of the highest return on assets among big banks.\n8. Moody's: $8.5 billion\nCredit agency and analytics company Moody's (NYSE:MCO) is yet another top-10 holding that's been held for longer than two decades. With an initial cost basis of just over $10, Berkshire Hathaway is sitting on an unrealized gain of better than 3,300% -- and this isn't accounting for dividends. Historically low lending rates have kept Moody's credit rating segment busy, while volatile trading markets are boosting demand for Moody's analytics. It's hard to envision Buffett ever selling this stake.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n9. BYD: $6.2 billion\nBack in 2008, Buffett acquired 225 million shares of China-based electric-vehicle (EV) manufacturer BYD (OTC:BYDDY) for $1.03 a share (it closed this past week at $27.65 a share). In March, BYD sold 16,301 EVs, which is more than higher-profile competitors NIO and XPeng delivered on a combined basis in the same month. With the Society of Automotive Engineers of China forecasting that half of all new vehicles sales in 2035 will be powered by alternative energy, BYD is in pole position to disrupt the largest auto market in the world.\n10. DaVita: $4.4 billion\nRounding out the top 10 is kidney dialysis services company DaVita (NYSE:DVA). Buffett's fascination with the company is likely a numbers play. Over time, an aging U.S. population is going to become more reliant on kidney dialysis services for maintenance purposes. As the clear leader in providing these services, DaVita should see a steady uptick in demand and reimbursement for its services. This patient long-term thesis perfectly embodies the Buffett investing ethos.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":34,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3575596393140561","authorId":"3575596393140561","name":"tinacheekyle","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d2373874b2bf69f2637ce056a6f56ada","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"content":"pls response to this comment","text":"pls response to this comment","html":"pls response to this comment"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9909245688,"gmtCreate":1658883247644,"gmtModify":1676536222929,"author":{"id":"3573789293829232","authorId":"3573789293829232","name":"btoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a7c2d714604fc804a48646ee397f912","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"K","listText":"K","text":"K","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9909245688","repostId":"2254387856","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2254387856","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":1658876140,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2254387856?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-07-27 06:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-Indexes Drop As Walmart Profit Warning Spooks Investors","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2254387856","media":"Reuters","summary":"Walmart cuts profit forecast; news hits retailersMcDonald's up as sales, profit top estimatesCoca-Co","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Walmart cuts profit forecast; news hits retailers</li><li>McDonald&#39;s up as sales, profit top estimates</li><li>Coca-Cola up on forecast raise</li><li>Indexes: Dow down 0.7%, S&amp;P 500 down 1.2%, Nasdaq down 1.9%</li></ul><p>NEW YORK, July 26 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks ended sharply lower Tuesday as a profit warning by Walmart dragged down retail shares and exceptionally weak consumer confidence data also fueled fears about spending.</p><p>Walmart shares sank 7.6% after the retailer cut its full-year profit forecast late on Monday.

But of course there have been some warnings, and that's what the market is focusing on,\" said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities in New York.Amazon, which said it would raise fees for delivery and streaming service Prime in Europe by up to 43% a year, was the biggest drag on the Nasdaq and S&P 500, while consumer discretionary fell 3.3% and led declines among S&P 500 sectors.The Federal Reserve started a two-day meeting, and on Wednesday it is expected to announce a 0.75 percentage point interest rate hike to fight inflation. Investors have worried that aggressive interest rate hikes by the Fed could tip the economy into recession.The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 228.5 points, or 0.71%, to 31,761.54, the S&P 500 lost 45.79 points, or 1.15%, to 3,921.05 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 220.09 points, or 1.87%, to 11,562.58.A busy week for earnings also included reports from Alphabet Inc and Microsoft Corp after the bell.Shares of Microsoft were up 5% in after-hours trading while Alphabet was up 5% following the companies' results. Microsoft ended the regular session down 2.7% and Alphabet ended 2.3% lower on the day.Investors had been looking to see if this week's earnings news from mega-cap companies might help the stock market sustain its recent rally.Earnings from S&P 500 companies were expected to have risen 6.2% for the second quarter from the year-ago period, according to Refinitiv data.Also during the regular session, Coca-Cola Co gained 1.6% after the company raised its full-year revenue forecast.

For investors, it&#39;s time to refocus. Amazon shares have never looked more attractive than they do right now.</p><p>Amazon.com has reported earnings about 100 times since it went public in 1997. Every one of those quarterly reports has shown a growing company, despite plenty of ups and downs in the economy -- and the internet. Amazon&#39;s worst quarter came in September 2001, when the internet bubble was blowing apart. Even then, revenue grew slightly from a year earlier. Now, though, Amazon&#39;s streak may be coming to an end.</p><p>When Amazon (AMZN) reports second-quarter earnings on July 28, Wall Street analysts expect revenue growth of just 5%. That&#39;s a tepid number by Amazon standards, and if things are just slightly worse than expected, revenue could actually decline. It would be a telling moment, with Amazon facing its greatest set of challenges since founder Jeff Bezos began selling books out of his house almost 30 years ago.</p><p>The company&#39;s longtime advantage in e-commerce has arguably become a weakness, with physical stores enjoying a post-Covid renaissance. Elevated fuel costs, meanwhile, are crimping Amazon&#39;s profits, with the cost of deliveries and returns on the rise.</p><p>Amazon&#39;s profit margins have never been rich, but analysts forecast a razor-thin 1.8% operating margin in the second quarter. After years of giving Amazon a pass on profits, investors have grown impatient. Since peaking last July, the stock is down 33% to a recent $125, shedding more than $600 billion in market value. Seen through the e-commerce lens, Amazon is one more struggling tech company.</p><p>And yet none of that should matter. Investors&#39; preoccupation with Amazon&#39;s retail operations overlooks the company&#39;s transformation. This year, the Amazon Web Services cloud business will be about 15% of the company&#39;s total revenue but more than 100% of its profits. Before, during, and after pandemic lockdowns, AWS revenue grew at a 30%-plus quarterly clip. In the long term, those trends should continue.</p><p>Meanwhile, Amazon has an advertising business that has annualized revenue of close to $40 billion. That&#39;s nearly four times the size of Twitter (TWTR) and Snap <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNAP\">$(SNAP)$</a> combined. And it&#39;s a media company that now controls the rights to a weekly National Football League game, a package that was once exclusive to broadcast giants Comcast <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CMCSA\">$(CMCSA)$</a>, Fox <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FOXA\">$(FOXA)$</a>, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PARA\">Paramount Global</a> (PARA), and Walt Disney <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DIS\">$(DIS)$</a> . There&#39;s also a growing logistics operation that increasingly rivals FedEx <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FDX.AU\">$(FDX.AU)$</a> and United Parcel Service <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/UPS\">$(UPS)$</a>.</p><p>The challenge for investors is that the sprawling operation has made Amazon difficult to value. It&#39;s worth the effort -- Amazon shares have rarely been more attractive. The stock could double, or triple, over the next few years. Yes, the latest quarter will be bad. But the future couldn&#39;t be brighter.</p><p>Gene Munster, a portfolio manager at Loup Ventures, says his firm has been adding to its Amazon position. While Munster concedes that investors are concerned about e-commerce profitability in the short run, he&#39;s convinced that in the long run, &#34;no one is going to compete with Amazon&#34; in online shopping. Munster figures that AWS and the ad business together will generate $45 billion in operating income this year. Value that at 25 times earnings, says Munster, and you get $1.1 trillion, which is just about the company&#39;s current total market value. That means investors are currently getting everything else free: online stores, Prime, logistics, Whole Foods Market, and a host of other businesses that Amazon has acquired over the years.</p><p>Says Munster: &#34;It&#39;s hard not to like Amazon at this valuation.&#34;</p><p>To be sure, Amazon continues to face bad publicity. The company is pushing back against unions trying to organize Amazon workers, a difficult balance for a company that claims to be Earth&#39;s best employer. The company is also dealing with a newly empowered Federal Trade Commission led by Chair Lina Khan, who once wrote in the Yale Law Review that Amazon&#39;s dominant market position was clear evidence that U.S. antitrust laws weren&#39;t effectively regulating the U.S. internet sector. Amazon is sure to face intense government scrutiny for future acquisitions. And it could be forced to make concessions to the government.</p><p>For now, though, Amazon is still finding ways to grow through deals. Just this past week, the company agreed to buy One Medical, an owner of membership-based healthcare clinics, for $3.9 billion.</p><p>There&#39;s also a chance the slowing economy could weigh on AWS sales for the next few quarters. For this year, Wall Street currently expects total Amazon revenue of $520 billion, up 11%, with profits of 56 cents a share, down from $3.24 a year earlier.</p><p>But to Amazon bulls, the issues plaguing the company are fleeting and priced in. While the economy could fall into recession later this year or in 2023, that recession won&#39;t be permanent. Meanwhile, the e-commerce market continues to expand, and Amazon&#39;s slice of the pie remains vast, at about 40%. There&#39;s still room for additional market share gains, too.</p><p>The company&#39;s advertising business, meanwhile, is on the rise. Given Apple&#39;s <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">$(AAPL)$</a> tough stance on sharing information about consumer activity on the iPhone, advertisers are looking beyond <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a>&#39; <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META.UK\">$(META.UK)$</a> Facebook, Alphabet&#39;s <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOOGL\">$(GOOGL)$</a> YouTube, and Snap for places to spend their ad dollars. Many ad buyers are turning to options where consumer buying intent is clear on the surface. Meta has to infer what you might want to buy; in Amazon&#39;s case, consumers type their exact shopping interests into a search box. In a marketplace crowded with consumer choice, Amazon&#39;s ad market is a gold mine.</p><p>And then there&#39;s Amazon Web Services, the company&#39;s mammoth cloud-computing platform. Since the company began breaking out results for AWS in 2015, the business has accounted for more than half of Amazon&#39;s operating profits, including almost 75% of the total in 2021. In 2022, with e-commerce operations likely to lose money, AWS is forecast to constitute 150% of Amazon&#39;s operating income.</p><p>With revenue close to $82 billion, AWS is one of the world&#39;s largest software and services companies -- bigger than Oracle <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ORCL\">$(ORCL)$</a>, IBM <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IBM\">$(IBM)$</a>, or SAP <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SAP\">$(SAP)$</a>, and more than twice the size of Salesforce <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM.AU\">$(CRM.AU)$</a>, the largest of the so-called software-as-a-service companies. And AWS is going to get a lot bigger. It&#39;s no wonder that when Bezos chose to step down as CEO in 2021, he chose as his successor AWS architect Andy Jassy. (Amazon declined to make Jassy or any other executives available for this story, citing the quiet period ahead of earnings.)</p><p>One of Wall Street&#39;s favorite strategies for assessing corporate value is a &#34;sum of the parts&#34; approach: Make a list of what the company owns, put a value on each part, then add it all up.</p><p>For some of Amazon&#39;s businesses, appropriate comparisons are hard to find. There are no pure-play public cloud stocks that look anything like AWS; its primary rivals -- Microsoft <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">$(MSFT)$</a> Azure and Google Cloud -- are likewise buried inside large businesses. Amazon&#39;s ad business is valuable, but it&#39;s linked to the core e-commerce business and therefore defies an easy value.</p><p>Then there&#39;s Amazon Prime, which includes a Netflix-like video streaming service plus a Spotify-like music service. There are other businesses hidden in the company&#39;s financials, including the videogame streaming service Twitch, the audiobook company Audible, the podcasting producer Wondery, and autonomous-vehicle maker Zoox, just to name a few.</p><p>In reporting this story, Barron&#39;s found at least four different attempts by Wall Street analysts to suss out the company&#39;s true value. They involve different parts, different metrics, and varying conclusions. The only consistent theme? Amazon&#39;s parts add up to a lot more than its current market value.</p><p>Let&#39;s start with the entertainment-focused approach from Needham analyst Laura Martin. In her view, a large part of Amazon&#39;s value comes from its media businesses. She values Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Music, Twitch, and advertising at more than $500 billion. She values AWS at $650 billion. Those two numbers give you $1.15 trillion, or roughly Amazon&#39;s current market value. That doesn&#39;t include e-commerce, which Martin&#39;s calculations currently ignore.</p><p>Truist internet analyst Youssef Squali has a different approach. He puts a value of more than $500 billion on Amazon&#39;s &#34;third-party retail&#34; services business, which includes logistics and other services provided to millions of sellers. He adds $172 billion for &#34;first party&#34; retail -- Amazon-branded goods, including electronics like Fire TVs and Kindles, plus thousands of AmazonBasics products. He values the company&#39;s subscription business -- basically Prime -- at a little over $100 billion. Then, he values AWS at $867 billion, using a multiple of 30 times estimated pretax earnings for 2022. (Salesforce, which is growing more slowly than AWS, trades at roughly 30 times pretax earnings.) Ultimately, Squali comes up with an Amazon value of $1.7 trillion.</p><p>J.P. Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth takes the simplest view -- dividing Amazon into two pieces. He pegs the value of AWS at 20 times his estimate of $52 billion in 2023 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or Ebitda, which comes to just over $1 trillion. For the retail business, he applies a multiple of 1.25 times his estimated gross merchandise value for 2023, which comes to just over $950 billion. Anmuth notes that Walmart <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WMT\">$(WMT)$</a> trades at about one times GMV, while Amazon&#39;s retail business has &#34;meaningfully higher&#34; growth, meriting a higher multiple. For Anmuth, that&#39;s a total Amazon value of $2 trillion.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Amazon Is Ready To Rise Again</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\">\nAmazon Is Ready To Rise Again\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2022-07-24 11:00</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a>&#39;s recent struggles in e-commerce are masking its continued dominance in the cloud.

He values the company&#39;s subscription business -- basically Prime -- at a little over $100 billion. Then, he values AWS at $867 billion, using a multiple of 30 times estimated pretax earnings for 2022. (Salesforce, which is growing more slowly than AWS, trades at roughly 30 times pretax earnings.)

For the retail business, he applies a multiple of 1.25 times his estimated gross merchandise value for 2023, which comes to just over $950 billion. Anmuth notes that Walmart <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WMT\">$(WMT)$</a> trades at about one times GMV, while Amazon&#39;s retail business has &#34;meaningfully higher&#34; growth, meriting a higher multiple.

For investors, it's time to refocus. Amazon shares have never looked more attractive than they do right now.Amazon.com has reported earnings about 100 times since it went public in 1997. Every one of those quarterly reports has shown a growing company, despite plenty of ups and downs in the economy -- and the internet. Amazon's worst quarter came in September 2001, when the internet bubble was blowing apart. Even then, revenue grew slightly from a year earlier. Now, though, Amazon's streak may be coming to an end.When Amazon (AMZN) reports second-quarter earnings on July 28, Wall Street analysts expect revenue growth of just 5%. That's a tepid number by Amazon standards, and if things are just slightly worse than expected, revenue could actually decline. It would be a telling moment, with Amazon facing its greatest set of challenges since founder Jeff Bezos began selling books out of his house almost 30 years ago.The company's longtime advantage in e-commerce has arguably become a weakness, with physical stores enjoying a post-Covid renaissance. Elevated fuel costs, meanwhile, are crimping Amazon's profits, with the cost of deliveries and returns on the rise.Amazon's profit margins have never been rich, but analysts forecast a razor-thin 1.8% operating margin in the second quarter. After years of giving Amazon a pass on profits, investors have grown impatient. Since peaking last July, the stock is down 33% to a recent $125, shedding more than $600 billion in market value. Seen through the e-commerce lens, Amazon is one more struggling tech company.And yet none of that should matter. Investors' preoccupation with Amazon's retail operations overlooks the company's transformation. This year, the Amazon Web Services cloud business will be about 15% of the company's total revenue but more than 100% of its profits. Before, during, and after pandemic lockdowns, AWS revenue grew at a 30%-plus quarterly clip. In the long term, those trends should continue.Meanwhile, Amazon has an advertising business that has annualized revenue of close to $40 billion. That's nearly four times the size of Twitter (TWTR) and Snap $(SNAP)$ combined. And it's a media company that now controls the rights to a weekly National Football League game, a package that was once exclusive to broadcast giants Comcast $(CMCSA)$, Fox $(FOXA)$, Paramount Global (PARA), and Walt Disney $(DIS)$ . There's also a growing logistics operation that increasingly rivals FedEx $(FDX.AU)$ and United Parcel Service $(UPS)$.The challenge for investors is that the sprawling operation has made Amazon difficult to value. It's worth the effort -- Amazon shares have rarely been more attractive. The stock could double, or triple, over the next few years. Yes, the latest quarter will be bad. But the future couldn't be brighter.Gene Munster, a portfolio manager at Loup Ventures, says his firm has been adding to its Amazon position. While Munster concedes that investors are concerned about e-commerce profitability in the short run, he's convinced that in the long run, \"no one is going to compete with Amazon\" in online shopping. Munster figures that AWS and the ad business together will generate $45 billion in operating income this year. Value that at 25 times earnings, says Munster, and you get $1.1 trillion, which is just about the company's current total market value. That means investors are currently getting everything else free: online stores, Prime, logistics, Whole Foods Market, and a host of other businesses that Amazon has acquired over the years.Says Munster: \"It's hard not to like Amazon at this valuation.\"To be sure, Amazon continues to face bad publicity. The company is pushing back against unions trying to organize Amazon workers, a difficult balance for a company that claims to be Earth's best employer. The company is also dealing with a newly empowered Federal Trade Commission led by Chair Lina Khan, who once wrote in the Yale Law Review that Amazon's dominant market position was clear evidence that U.S. antitrust laws weren't effectively regulating the U.S. internet sector. Amazon is sure to face intense government scrutiny for future acquisitions. And it could be forced to make concessions to the government.For now, though, Amazon is still finding ways to grow through deals. Just this past week, the company agreed to buy One Medical, an owner of membership-based healthcare clinics, for $3.9 billion.There's also a chance the slowing economy could weigh on AWS sales for the next few quarters. For this year, Wall Street currently expects total Amazon revenue of $520 billion, up 11%, with profits of 56 cents a share, down from $3.24 a year earlier.But to Amazon bulls, the issues plaguing the company are fleeting and priced in. While the economy could fall into recession later this year or in 2023, that recession won't be permanent. Meanwhile, the e-commerce market continues to expand, and Amazon's slice of the pie remains vast, at about 40%. There's still room for additional market share gains, too.The company's advertising business, meanwhile, is on the rise. Given Apple's $(AAPL)$ tough stance on sharing information about consumer activity on the iPhone, advertisers are looking beyond Meta Platforms' $(META.UK)$ Facebook, Alphabet's $(GOOGL)$ YouTube, and Snap for places to spend their ad dollars. Many ad buyers are turning to options where consumer buying intent is clear on the surface. Meta has to infer what you might want to buy; in Amazon's case, consumers type their exact shopping interests into a search box. In a marketplace crowded with consumer choice, Amazon's ad market is a gold mine.And then there's Amazon Web Services, the company's mammoth cloud-computing platform. Since the company began breaking out results for AWS in 2015, the business has accounted for more than half of Amazon's operating profits, including almost 75% of the total in 2021. In 2022, with e-commerce operations likely to lose money, AWS is forecast to constitute 150% of Amazon's operating income.With revenue close to $82 billion, AWS is one of the world's largest software and services companies -- bigger than Oracle $(ORCL)$, IBM $(IBM)$, or SAP $(SAP)$, and more than twice the size of Salesforce $(CRM.AU)$, the largest of the so-called software-as-a-service companies.

If Etsy can generate just half of the 39% annualized earnings growth analysts are currently projecting, the stock could double by 2027.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":25,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9091834606,"gmtCreate":1643825119554,"gmtModify":1676533860499,"author":{"id":"3573789293829232","authorId":"3573789293829232","name":"btoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a7c2d714604fc804a48646ee397f912","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"K","listText":"K","text":"K","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9091834606","repostId":"2208368356","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2208368356","pubTimestamp":1643804700,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2208368356?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-02-02 20:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Better Buy for 2022: Nu Holdings vs. Grab Holdings?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2208368356","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These two international emerging companies look appealing, but which company would be a better buy today?","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>When it comes to diversifying your portfolio, you have several viable options, including geographic diversification.

The company&#39;s core services -- delivery and ride-hailing -- had over $2.8 billion in gross merchandise volume spent on its platform in the third quarter of 2021.

And despite being a $21 billion company, Grab&#39;s margin profile is not good.

If Grab disrupted both of these companies, it would be an amazing feat, but much harder to accomplish with negative gross margins and low growth.</p><h2>Nu Holdings</h2><p>Nu Holdings is disrupting the digital financial services industry across Latin America. The banking system in Latin America is dominated by five banks that control up to 85% of all banking revenue in Chile, Brazil, and Mexico.
