Shutterstoc","content":"<p>Like all investments, there are good Reddit stocks, and bad ones</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/753e957cac964de085fbdea1b1aa30a1\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"576\"><span>Source: Marcus Krauss / Shutterstock.com</span></p>\n<p>I must admit, when I was given this assignment my first thought was I’m the last guy to be talking about Reddit stocks. I think the attention being paid to Reddit and meme stocks is a bunch of hokum.</p>\n<p>The arguments abound whether the meme stock frenzy is&nbsp;a permanent part of the investing landscape.</p>\n<p>“This is not going to end well,” Former E*Trade CEO Karl Roessner told<i>CNBC</i>in early June while discussing the AMC rally. “I think historically we’ve seen this in the past, but I do believethis grouphas staying power.”</p>\n<p>However, if you’re a value investor, the mere presence of this kind of retail investor is music to your ears. While the sheep are out buying&nbsp;<b>GameStop</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GME</u></b>), you can pick up shares in some of America’s better companies that trade at a discount.</p>\n<p>That’s not easy when the&nbsp;Cyclically Adjusted PE Ratio&nbsp;(CAPE) of 38.11 is at the second-highest level on record — the highest was in December 1999 — with no end in sight to the multiple’s upward trajectory.</p>\n<p>With that in mind, I’ve rated the&nbsp;top 10 Reddit stocks— based on the number of comments made on r/WallStreetBets — from best to worst as a long-term buy:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>KB Home</b>(NYSE:<b><u>KBH</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Palantir Technologies</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Clean Energy Fuels</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>CLNE</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>BlackBerry</b>(NYSE:<b><u>BB</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Workhorse Group</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>WKHS</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>AMC Entertainment</b>(NYSE:<b><u>AMC</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>ContextLogic</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>WISH</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Globalstar</b>(NYSEAMERICAN:<b><u>GSAT</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Clover Health</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>CLOV</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Tesla (TSLA)</b></p>\n<p>Say what you will about Elon Musk, but there’s no question he’s built one heck of a company. Soon, Tesla will have a fourth factory open in Berlin. Even though the original opening date of July 1 is no longer on the table due to myriad reasons, it will ultimately produce millions of electric vehicles (EVs) for willing European buyers.</p>\n<p>The company has added a&nbsp;battery cell production&nbsp;component to the plant outside Berlin. It will produce 500 million cells annually representing 50 gigawatt hours (GWh) of energy, 25% higher than&nbsp;<b>Volkswagen’s</b>(OTCMKTS:<b><u>VWAGY</u></b>) planned facility a couple hundred miles away.</p>\n<p>Across the pond in Texas, the company’s fifth so-called Gigafactory is getting closer to being ready for production. This plant will produce an updated version of the Model Y using “mega casting” technology to speed up the production process while delivering a lighter vehicle at the same time. It currently&nbsp;uses this technology&nbsp;at its plant in Shanghai.</p>\n<p>Tesla has afree cash flow (FCF) marginof 22.3% based on $35.94 billion in trailing-12-month revenue.</p>\n<p><b>KB Home (KBH)</b></p>\n<p>The largest homebuilders in America are having&nbsp;trouble keeping up with demand&nbsp;at the moment. At least for now, KB Home is meeting the demand from customers, 64% of which were first-time buyers in the latest quarter.</p>\n<p>“Operationally, our divisions are doing an&nbsp;excellent job&nbsp;of navigating this environment of demand strength and well-publicized supply chain constraints as we effectively balanced pace, price and starts to optimize our assets and manage our production,” said KB Home CEO Jeff Mezger in the Q2 2021 conference call.</p>\n<p>KB Home is so busy that the number of homes started in Q1 2021 and Q2 2021 was equivalent to 75% of the number of homes started for 2020. As a result, it expects to deliver $6 billion in housing revenue in 2021 at the midpoint of guidance, with operating margins between 11.5% and 12.0%.</p>\n<p>KB Home has anFCF margin of 6.5%based on $4.78 billion in trailing 12-month revenue.</p>\n<p><b>Palantir Technologies (PLTR)</b></p>\n<p>Palantir has been a public company for less than a year. The provider of data analytics software platforms for government agencies, corporations, and other large institutions, sold no shares last September when directly listedon the NYSE.</p>\n<p>The reference price was $7.25. PLTR stock is up 277.7% through the start of June 29.</p>\n<p>Not only is it growing its business — in the latest quarter, itsU.S. commercial revenuegrew 72% year-over-year while its U.S. government revenue jumped 83% YOY — it is also busy investing in other tech companies looking to go public.</p>\n<p>For example, it has invested in six private investments in public equity (PIPE) in the past three months. These PIPEs are part of the ongoing interest in special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs). Palantir invests&nbsp;in the PIPEs&nbsp;to gain financial returns and collaborate with these companies, which use its data analytic tools for their businesses.</p>\n<p>I’m not 100% sold on Palantir&nbsp;just yet, but it’s a good long-term buy compared to some of the Reddit stocks on this list.</p>\n<p>Palantir has anFCF margin of 9%based on $1.2 billion in trailing 12-month revenue.</p>\n<p><b>Clean Energy Fuels</b><b>(</b><b>CLNE)</b></p>\n<p>Back in February,I recommended CLNE. At the time, it was trading around $12.97. It was one of seven stocks to buy under $20. As I write this, it’s just under $11, so it’s lost ground over the past four months.</p>\n<p>I liked Clean Energy for several reasons.</p>\n<p>First, it provides three kinds of natural gas fuel for commercial trucks: compressed (CNG), liquified (LNG), and renewable (RNG). It’s the only fuel provider to do so. Secondly, RNG fuel enables trucking companies to deliver their services while getting close to or achieving carbon negative status. Third, it’s got fueling stations in 43 states and Canada. Lastly, it’s got deep pockets.<b>Total</b>(OTCMKTS:<b><u>TTFNF</u></b>) owns 25% of its stock.</p>\n<p>Oh, and as I said in February, from an adjusted EBITDA basis (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), it makes money while also growing revenues at a steady pace.</p>\n<p>In the meantime, Clean Energy has anFCF margin of 24.2%based on $283 million in trailing 12-month revenue.</p>\n<p><b>BlackBerry (BB)</b></p>\n<p>I can remember when&nbsp;President Barack Obama&nbsp;first entered the White House in January 2009. The BlackBerry was considered the cat’s meow when it came to mobile phones. By the time he left office in January 2017, it was in the dustbin of history.</p>\n<p>Now supplying security software to automobile manufacturers and other enterprises and governments worldwide — a research firm recently said its QNX software is installed in195 million vehicles&nbsp;worldwide — the Reddit crowd have taken to the Waterloo, Ontario-based tech company.</p>\n<p>Things have turned around for BlackBerry.</p>\n<p>At least, enough so to provide CEO John Chen with a handsome compensation package. Proxy advisory firm Glass Lewis recently blasted the company, suggesting its&nbsp;compensation plan&nbsp;had no relation to its overall corporate performance.</p>\n<p>As a result of the January Reddit rally, which saw BB stock move from $6.70 at the beginning of the month to a 52-week high of $28.77 by the end, Chen could receive as much as $206 million in cash and stock compensation from the long-term incentives issued in 2019.</p>\n<p>On a GAAP basis,BlackBerry still loses money. That said, the pivot it’s made to software has given it another shot at tech stardom. We’ll see if it gain regain its former glory from the Obama years.</p>\n<p>In the meantime, BlackBerry has anFCF margin of 9.3%based on $861 million in trailing 12-month revenue.</p>\n<p><b>Workhorse Group (WKHS)</b></p>\n<p>The last time I wrote about Workhorse Group was in late April. At the time, it was trading around $12.50. I argued that if it got the&nbsp;backlog of 8,000&nbsp;commercial electric vehicle delivery trucks out the door over the next 12 to 24 months, it would have an ultra-low price-to-sales ratio of 4.2.</p>\n<p>Long story short, if it did, its stock would be worth more than $12.50.</p>\n<p>Well, on June 16, Workhorse&nbsp;officially protested&nbsp;the United States Postal Service awarding the estimated $6 billion contract to manufacture its next-generation delivery vehicle to&nbsp;<b>Oshkosh</b>(NYSE:<b><u>OSK</u></b>). The news pushed WKHS to $17.54 at the start of June 29.</p>\n<p><i>InvestorPlace’s</i>&nbsp;Dana Blankenhorn recently discussed Workhorse. He believes that the company was in the commercial EV game to&nbsp;ride on the coattails&nbsp;of big guns like&nbsp;<b>Ford</b>(NYSE:<b><u>F</u></b>) and&nbsp;<b>General Motors</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GM</u></b>). That’s not the craziest theory in the world.</p>\n<p>In the latest quarter, Workhorse delivered six trucks to customers and generated $521,000 in revenue. It plans to produce&nbsp;1,000 trucks&nbsp;in 2021. It will have to pick up the pace if it wants to reach that goal. In the meantime, investors can expect its quarterly losses to accelerate as we make our way through the year.</p>\n<p>Workhorse has an&nbsp;FCF margin of -5,320.2%&nbsp;based on $1.83 million in trailing 12-month revenue. It is for speculative investors only.</p>\n<p><b>AMC Entertainment (AMC)</b></p>\n<p>AMC is a stock that I’m conflicted about.</p>\n<p>On the one hand, I believe that Americans will return to movie theaters in large numbers come fall. That will likely return the chain to pre-Covid revenue numbers. On the other hand, it has a burdensome debt load.</p>\n<p>Despite using the Reddit surge to raise much-needed cash to repay some of this debt — on June 3, it announced it would sell 11.55 million shares at the market to bring in another&nbsp;$600 million— it still has&nbsp;$11.05 billion&nbsp;owed, or 37.6% of its vastly overvalued market capitalization of $29.4 billion.</p>\n<p>Former E*Trade CEO Karl Roessner appeared on&nbsp;<i>CNBC</i>&nbsp;in early June. While he&nbsp;commended AMC management&nbsp;for selling shares when prices were high, the company is not worth $28 billion.</p>\n<p>“Absent some serious strategic undertakings by that company, it’s still just not worth what it’s trading for right now,” Roessner stated.</p>\n<p>I couldn’t agree more.</p>\n<p>AMC has anFCF margin of -280%based on $449 million in trailing 12-month revenue.</p>\n<p><b>ContextLogic (WISH)</b></p>\n<p>In February, I wrote an article about the e-commerce site with the headline“ContextLogic Has Nothing to Do With Retail”<i>.</i>I didn’t understand the composition of its board. It had no retail experience on its board to oversee the CEO.</p>\n<p>“If ContextLogic’s goal is to beat&nbsp;<b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:<b>AMZN</b>) at discount e-commerce apparel, its board of directors is a sure sign that’s not what it’s after,” I said.</p>\n<p>I finished the article by stating I didn’t get an inspirational vibe from Context Logic’s board of directors. In the four months since, WISH has lost 49% of its value and trades well below its&nbsp;IPO price&nbsp;of $24.</p>\n<p>ContextLogic has anFCF margin of -8%based on $2.87 billion in trailing 12-month revenue. I’m really not sure what Redditors see in this one.</p>\n<p><b>Globalstar (GSAT)</b></p>\n<p>Not everyone thinks the provider of mobile satellite services is a bad bet.</p>\n<p>B. Riley analyst Mike Crawford initiated coverage of Globalstar on June 21. The analyst gives it a “buy” rating and a&nbsp;$3.25 target price, double where it’s currently trading. He estimates that the company’s C-Band spectrum could be worth as much as $15 billion. Based on 1.79 billion shares outstanding, that’s $8.38 a share, considerably higher than the analyst’s target price.</p>\n<p>From where I sit, the fact that it’s currently trading at&nbsp;a price-to-sales ratio of 25.39&nbsp;and&nbsp;not making money&nbsp;on a GAAP basis makes it very hard for me to get behind the company.</p>\n<p>However, Globalstar does have one big ace up its sleeve.</p>\n<p>On page 87 of its&nbsp;2020 10-K, you will see that it had $1.8 billion in U.S. net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards with less than 1% expiring before 2025. It has an additional $200 million in foreign NOL carryforwards. So, should it start generating significant profits — that’s still very much up in the air — the loss carryforwards will shield the company’s earnings from taxes for the foreseeable future.</p>\n<p>Globalstar has anFCF margin of 18%based on $123 million in trailing 12-month revenue.</p>\n<p><b>Clover Health (CLOV)</b></p>\n<p>They say timing is everything.</p>\n<p>In early June, I wrote an article about the healthcare technology company, which uses data to provide healthcare plans for more than 130,000 Americans. At the time, I felt like there was a fair bit of&nbsp;upside resistance at $10.</p>\n<p>While I wouldn’t buy the money-losing stock, a patient investor with a higher than average risk tolerance would be wise to buy around $9, or hopefully less. And then came the June 8 Reddit-induced short squeeze, doubling CLOV’s share price within hours.</p>\n<p>“By afternoon trading [June 8], Clover had already traded over&nbsp;650 million shares, 30 times more than its 30-day average volume of 22 million shares, according to FactSet,”<i>CNBC</i>‘s Yun Lireported. “By the closing bell on Wall Street, more than 720 million shares had changed hands.”</p>\n<p>CLOV stock closed June 7 trading at $11.92.

I think the attention being paid to Reddit and meme stocks is a bunch of hokum.\nThe arguments abound whether the meme stock frenzy is a permanent part of the investing landscape.\n“This is not going to end well,” Former E*Trade CEO Karl Roessner toldCNBCin early June while discussing the AMC rally. “I think historically we’ve seen this in the past, but I do believethis grouphas staying power.”\nHowever, if you’re a value investor, the mere presence of this kind of retail investor is music to your ears. While the sheep are out buying GameStop(NYSE:GME), you can pick up shares in some of America’s better companies that trade at a discount.\nThat’s not easy when the Cyclically Adjusted PE Ratio (CAPE) of 38.11 is at the second-highest level on record — the highest was in December 1999 — with no end in sight to the multiple’s upward trajectory.\nWith that in mind, I’ve rated the top 10 Reddit stocks— based on the number of comments made on r/WallStreetBets — from best to worst as a long-term buy:\n\nTesla(NASDAQ:TSLA)\nKB Home(NYSE:KBH)\nPalantir Technologies(NYSE:PLTR)\nClean Energy Fuels(NASDAQ:CLNE)\nBlackBerry(NYSE:BB)\nWorkhorse Group(NASDAQ:WKHS)\nAMC Entertainment(NYSE:AMC)\nContextLogic(NASDAQ:WISH)\nGlobalstar(NYSEAMERICAN:GSAT)\nClover Health(NASDAQ:CLOV)\n\nTesla (TSLA)\nSay what you will about Elon Musk, but there’s no question he’s built one heck of a company. Soon, Tesla will have a fourth factory open in Berlin. Even though the original opening date of July 1 is no longer on the table due to myriad reasons, it will ultimately produce millions of electric vehicles (EVs) for willing European buyers.\nThe company has added a battery cell production component to the plant outside Berlin. It will produce 500 million cells annually representing 50 gigawatt hours (GWh) of energy, 25% higher than Volkswagen’s(OTCMKTS:VWAGY) planned facility a couple hundred miles away.\nAcross the pond in Texas, the company’s fifth so-called Gigafactory is getting closer to being ready for production. This plant will produce an updated version of the Model Y using “mega casting” technology to speed up the production process while delivering a lighter vehicle at the same time. It currently uses this technology at its plant in Shanghai.\nTesla has afree cash flow (FCF) marginof 22.3% based on $35.94 billion in trailing-12-month revenue.\nKB Home (KBH)\nThe largest homebuilders in America are having trouble keeping up with demand at the moment. At least for now, KB Home is meeting the demand from customers, 64% of which were first-time buyers in the latest quarter.\n“Operationally, our divisions are doing an excellent job of navigating this environment of demand strength and well-publicized supply chain constraints as we effectively balanced pace, price and starts to optimize our assets and manage our production,” said KB Home CEO Jeff Mezger in the Q2 2021 conference call.\nKB Home is so busy that the number of homes started in Q1 2021 and Q2 2021 was equivalent to 75% of the number of homes started for 2020. As a result, it expects to deliver $6 billion in housing revenue in 2021 at the midpoint of guidance, with operating margins between 11.5% and 12.0%.\nKB Home has anFCF margin of 6.5%based on $4.78 billion in trailing 12-month revenue.\nPalantir Technologies (PLTR)\nPalantir has been a public company for less than a year. The provider of data analytics software platforms for government agencies, corporations, and other large institutions, sold no shares last September when directly listedon the NYSE.\nThe reference price was $7.25. PLTR stock is up 277.7% through the start of June 29.\nNot only is it growing its business — in the latest quarter, itsU.S. commercial revenuegrew 72% year-over-year while its U.S. government revenue jumped 83% YOY — it is also busy investing in other tech companies looking to go public.\nFor example, it has invested in six private investments in public equity (PIPE) in the past three months. These PIPEs are part of the ongoing interest in special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs). Palantir invests in the PIPEs to gain financial returns and collaborate with these companies, which use its data analytic tools for their businesses.\nI’m not 100% sold on Palantir just yet, but it’s a good long-term buy compared to some of the Reddit stocks on this list.\nPalantir has anFCF margin of 9%based on $1.2 billion in trailing 12-month revenue.\nClean Energy Fuels(CLNE)\nBack in February,I recommended CLNE. At the time, it was trading around $12.97. It was one of seven stocks to buy under $20. As I write this, it’s just under $11, so it’s lost ground over the past four months.\nI liked Clean Energy for several reasons.\nFirst, it provides three kinds of natural gas fuel for commercial trucks: compressed (CNG), liquified (LNG), and renewable (RNG). It’s the only fuel provider to do so. Secondly, RNG fuel enables trucking companies to deliver their services while getting close to or achieving carbon negative status. Third, it’s got fueling stations in 43 states and Canada. Lastly, it’s got deep pockets.Total(OTCMKTS:TTFNF) owns 25% of its stock.\nOh, and as I said in February, from an adjusted EBITDA basis (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), it makes money while also growing revenues at a steady pace.\nIn the meantime, Clean Energy has anFCF margin of 24.2%based on $283 million in trailing 12-month revenue.\nBlackBerry (BB)\nI can remember when President Barack Obama first entered the White House in January 2009. The BlackBerry was considered the cat’s meow when it came to mobile phones. By the time he left office in January 2017, it was in the dustbin of history.\nNow supplying security software to automobile manufacturers and other enterprises and governments worldwide — a research firm recently said its QNX software is installed in195 million vehicles worldwide — the Reddit crowd have taken to the Waterloo, Ontario-based tech company.\nThings have turned around for BlackBerry.\nAt least, enough so to provide CEO John Chen with a handsome compensation package. Proxy advisory firm Glass Lewis recently blasted the company, suggesting its compensation plan had no relation to its overall corporate performance.\nAs a result of the January Reddit rally, which saw BB stock move from $6.70 at the beginning of the month to a 52-week high of $28.77 by the end, Chen could receive as much as $206 million in cash and stock compensation from the long-term incentives issued in 2019.\nOn a GAAP basis,BlackBerry still loses money. That said, the pivot it’s made to software has given it another shot at tech stardom. We’ll see if it gain regain its former glory from the Obama years.\nIn the meantime, BlackBerry has anFCF margin of 9.3%based on $861 million in trailing 12-month revenue.\nWorkhorse Group (WKHS)\nThe last time I wrote about Workhorse Group was in late April. At the time, it was trading around $12.50. I argued that if it got the backlog of 8,000 commercial electric vehicle delivery trucks out the door over the next 12 to 24 months, it would have an ultra-low price-to-sales ratio of 4.2.\nLong story short, if it did, its stock would be worth more than $12.50.\nWell, on June 16, Workhorse officially protested the United States Postal Service awarding the estimated $6 billion contract to manufacture its next-generation delivery vehicle to Oshkosh(NYSE:OSK). The news pushed WKHS to $17.54 at the start of June 29.\nInvestorPlace’s Dana Blankenhorn recently discussed Workhorse. He believes that the company was in the commercial EV game to ride on the coattails of big guns like Ford(NYSE:F) and General Motors(NYSE:GM). That’s not the craziest theory in the world.\nIn the latest quarter, Workhorse delivered six trucks to customers and generated $521,000 in revenue. It plans to produce 1,000 trucks in 2021. It will have to pick up the pace if it wants to reach that goal. In the meantime, investors can expect its quarterly losses to accelerate as we make our way through the year.\nWorkhorse has an FCF margin of -5,320.2% based on $1.83 million in trailing 12-month revenue. It is for speculative investors only.\nAMC Entertainment (AMC)\nAMC is a stock that I’m conflicted about.\nOn the one hand, I believe that Americans will return to movie theaters in large numbers come fall. That will likely return the chain to pre-Covid revenue numbers. On the other hand, it has a burdensome debt load.\nDespite using the Reddit surge to raise much-needed cash to repay some of this debt — on June 3, it announced it would sell 11.55 million shares at the market to bring in another $600 million— it still has $11.05 billion owed, or 37.6% of its vastly overvalued market capitalization of $29.4 billion.\nFormer E*Trade CEO Karl Roessner appeared on CNBC in early June. While he commended AMC management for selling shares when prices were high, the company is not worth $28 billion.\n“Absent some serious strategic undertakings by that company, it’s still just not worth what it’s trading for right now,” Roessner stated.\nI couldn’t agree more.\nAMC has anFCF margin of -280%based on $449 million in trailing 12-month revenue.\nContextLogic (WISH)\nIn February, I wrote an article about the e-commerce site with the headline“ContextLogic Has Nothing to Do With Retail”.I didn’t understand the composition of its board. It had no retail experience on its board to oversee the CEO.\n“If ContextLogic’s goal is to beat Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN) at discount e-commerce apparel, its board of directors is a sure sign that’s not what it’s after,” I said.\nI finished the article by stating I didn’t get an inspirational vibe from Context Logic’s board of directors. In the four months since, WISH has lost 49% of its value and trades well below its IPO price of $24.\nContextLogic has anFCF margin of -8%based on $2.87 billion in trailing 12-month revenue. I’m really not sure what Redditors see in this one.\nGlobalstar (GSAT)\nNot everyone thinks the provider of mobile satellite services is a bad bet.\nB. Riley analyst Mike Crawford initiated coverage of Globalstar on June 21. The analyst gives it a “buy” rating and a $3.25 target price, double where it’s currently trading. He estimates that the company’s C-Band spectrum could be worth as much as $15 billion. Based on 1.79 billion shares outstanding, that’s $8.38 a share, considerably higher than the analyst’s target price.\nFrom where I sit, the fact that it’s currently trading at a price-to-sales ratio of 25.39 and not making money on a GAAP basis makes it very hard for me to get behind the company.\nHowever, Globalstar does have one big ace up its sleeve.\nOn page 87 of its 2020 10-K, you will see that it had $1.8 billion in U.S. net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards with less than 1% expiring before 2025. It has an additional $200 million in foreign NOL carryforwards. So, should it start generating significant profits — that’s still very much up in the air — the loss carryforwards will shield the company’s earnings from taxes for the foreseeable future.\nGlobalstar has anFCF margin of 18%based on $123 million in trailing 12-month revenue.\nClover Health (CLOV)\nThey say timing is everything.\nIn early June, I wrote an article about the healthcare technology company, which uses data to provide healthcare plans for more than 130,000 Americans. At the time, I felt like there was a fair bit of upside resistance at $10.\nWhile I wouldn’t buy the money-losing stock, a patient investor with a higher than average risk tolerance would be wise to buy around $9, or hopefully less. And then came the June 8 Reddit-induced short squeeze, doubling CLOV’s share price within hours.\n“By afternoon trading [June 8], Clover had already traded over 650 million shares, 30 times more than its 30-day average volume of 22 million shares, according to FactSet,”CNBC‘s Yun Lireported. “By the closing bell on Wall Street, more than 720 million shares had changed hands.”\nCLOV stock closed June 7 trading at $11.92. By 4 p.m. the next day, it was over $22.\nIn my article, I mentioned the investing lesson a 17-year-old learned about managing your expectations when playing with real money. I really hope he was able to sell his call options in the June surge. If not, the shares have still doubled from a month ago.\nOverall, it’s down slightly from its first day of trading on Jan. 8.\nClover has anFCF margin of -24.2%based on $721 million in trailing 12-month revenue.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":438,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3574571431188078","authorId":"3574571431188078","name":"Ryun83","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/930dc26d4ae857c0f1cb8a552152440a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3574571431188078","authorIdStr":"3574571431188078"},"content":"Like n reply b pls","text":"Like n reply b pls","html":"Like n reply b pls"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":118142709,"gmtCreate":1622725780901,"gmtModify":1704189804437,"author":{"id":"3573992467466261","authorId":"3573992467466261","name":"Albinotofu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61dc21c4c54604259c04881146f986b7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573992467466261","authorIdStr":"3573992467466261"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NOK\">$Nokia Oyj(NOK)$</a>Bois, the&nbsp;moment we have been waiting for&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NOK\">$Nokia Oyj(NOK)$</a>Bois, the&nbsp;moment we have been waiting for&nbsp;","text":"$Nokia Oyj(NOK)$Bois, the moment we have been waiting for","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/118142709","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":507,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":322607573,"gmtCreate":1615799993692,"gmtModify":1704786655985,"author":{"id":"3573992467466261","authorId":"3573992467466261","name":"Albinotofu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61dc21c4c54604259c04881146f986b7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573992467466261","authorIdStr":"3573992467466261"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NOK\">$Nokia Oyj(NOK)$</a>the only way is up","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NOK\">$Nokia Oyj(NOK)$</a>the only way is up","text":"$Nokia Oyj(NOK)$the only way is up","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/322607573","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":510,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":322604119,"gmtCreate":1615799931031,"gmtModify":1704786654359,"author":{"id":"3573992467466261","authorId":"3573992467466261","name":"Albinotofu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61dc21c4c54604259c04881146f986b7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573992467466261","authorIdStr":"3573992467466261"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"sweet","listText":"sweet","text":"sweet","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/322604119","repostId":"1177644660","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1177644660","pubTimestamp":1615797989,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1177644660?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-15 16:46","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Accelerating Industrial Automation and the Companies to Watch","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1177644660","media":"nasdaq","summary":"Last week we kicked off our automation series with an overview of the various sectors of the economy","content":"<p>Last week we kicked off our automation series with an overview of the various sectors of the economy that are ramping up their automation levels. This week we are doing a deeper dive into&nbsp;<i>industrial automation</i>, which was already seeing an acceleration pre-pandemic. The pandemic provided further powerful tailwinds as human interaction became riskier and supply chains were brutally disrupted. The new US presidential administration is likely to push for higher wages, which only adds further momentum to this trend.</p>\n<p>The pandemic forced many factories to either close or materially reduce their output, which caused industrial production to drop to a&nbsp;level not seen in over ten years&nbsp;and a&nbsp;profound loss of jobs&nbsp;that have still not yet been recovered. As the lockdowns eased, companies had to find ways to make their production lines safe, which meant fewer people on-site and increased the need for automation to allow for greater production levels at a lower level of labor.</p>\n<p>The&nbsp;2021 BDO Manufacturing CFO Outlook Survey, conducted in September 2020, provides some fantastic insight into how things are changing for those manufacturing companies with revenues ranging from $250 million to $3 billion and how the pandemic has affected them. According to the report, “Prior to the pandemic, the&nbsp;Industry 4.0&nbsp;paradigm shift was already underway, bringing together the physical and digital worlds to change the fundamentals of production. COVID-19 has accelerated the paradigm, compressing the timeframe for the industry to get on board.” The top CFO priority for 2021 is “Investing in Technology or Infrastructure.” The most critical factor for recovery, according to middle-market manufacturers, is “Supply Chain Stability” followed by “Productivity Gains” and when it comes to evolving their workforce strategy in the coming year, the second-highest priority (after diversity and inclusion as a business strategy) is automating manual labor.</p>\n<p>According to the recent research report, “Industrial Automation Market&nbsp;by Component (Plant-level Controls, Enterprise-level Controls, Plant Instrumentation), Mode of Automation (Semi-automatic, Fully-automatic), and End User (Oil &amp; Gas, Automotive, Food &amp; Beverage) - Global Forecast to 2027”, the industrial automation market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.3% from 2020 to 2027, growing from $164.2 billion to $306.2 billion by 2027.</p>\n<p>Industrial automation is in the midst of a game-changing transformation. Advancements such as machine learning, augmented reality,&nbsp;cyber-physical systems, autonomous assets, real-time analytics, and the IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) promise extraordinary operational achievements. In addition, we are seeing similar pressures here against closed systems that we saw in corporate automation (which we will cover in the weeks to come). In much the way that consumers of office software and automation systems pushed for solutions being more easily integrated with other products and less fussy (technical term) about the platforms on which they operate, we are seeing similar demands for industrial automation solutions. This bodes well for more flexible and more rapidly improving solutions.</p>\n<p>Closed systems are expensive to upgrade and maintain, limit innovation and restrict access to best-of-breed technologies. Just as we’ve seen in the office, industrial enterprises are increasingly demanding open, standards-based automation systems that are portable, interoperable, and intrinsically cyber secure. As we look towards the future, we see digital-first industrial enterprises and smart factories using universal automation that will significantly increase efficiency, reliability, and productivity from safe and secure (often remote) operations that easily adapt to market changes and customer demands. In short, industrial operations of the future will be data-driven, asset-centric architectures leveraging human innovation rather than relying on a workforce engaged in endless repetitive tasks. We also expect to see accelerated adoption of&nbsp;edge computing&nbsp;along with 5G and&nbsp;WiFi 6. After experiencing first-hand the vulnerabilities of their operations during lockdowns, we expect to see a push to implement systems that will allow for maintenance and upgrades to be conducted remotely and/or via automation.</p>\n<p><b>What does this mean for investors?</b></p>\n<p>First, much of this automation is going to be dependent on expanded data networks such as 5G and WiFi 6, which means further demand for products from companies providing the underlying digital infrastructure technologies such as&nbsp;<b>Maxlinear (MXL)</b>,&nbsp;<b>Skyworks Solutions Inc (SWKS)</b>,&nbsp;<b>Applied Optoelectronics Inc (AAOI),</b>and&nbsp;<b>Broadcom (AVGO)</b>.</p>\n<p>Companies providing factory automation products include&nbsp;<b>Fanuc (FANUY),Danaher Corporation (DHR), Siemens AG (SIEGY), Yaskawa Electric Corp (YASKF), Emerson Electric Co (EMR),Honeywell (HON),Rockwell Automation Inc (ROK),</b>and<b>&nbsp;Eaton Corp (ETN).</b></p>\n<p>Finally, let us not forget that many manufacturers are turning to 3D printing, which bodes well for companies such as The&nbsp;<b>ExOne Co (XONE)</b>, Markforged - which has&nbsp;announced plans&nbsp;to go public via a merger with publicly trade SPAC&nbsp;<b>One (AONE),Stratasys Ltd (SSYS)</b>, and&nbsp;<b>Materialise NV (MTLS).</b></p>\n<p><u>Disclosures</u></p>\n<p><b>Maxlinear (MXL)</b>,&nbsp;<b>Skyworks Solutions Inc (SWKS)</b>,&nbsp;<b>Applied Optoelectronics Inc (AAOI),</b>and&nbsp;<b>Broadcom (AVGO)</b>&nbsp;are constituents in the&nbsp;Tematica BITA Digital Infrastructure and Connectivity Index.</p>","source":"lsy1603171495471","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>Accelerating Industrial Automation and the Companies to Watch</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\">\nAccelerating Industrial Automation and the Companies to Watch\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-15 16:46 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/accelerating-industrial-automation-and-the-companies-to-watch-2021-03-12><strong>nasdaq</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Last week we kicked off our automation series with an overview of the various sectors of the economy that are ramping up their automation levels.

This week we are doing a deeper dive into industrial automation, which was already seeing an acceleration pre-pandemic. The pandemic provided further powerful tailwinds as human interaction became riskier and supply chains were brutally disrupted. The new US presidential administration is likely to push for higher wages, which only adds further momentum to this trend.\nThe pandemic forced many factories to either close or materially reduce their output, which caused industrial production to drop to a level not seen in over ten years and a profound loss of jobs that have still not yet been recovered. As the lockdowns eased, companies had to find ways to make their production lines safe, which meant fewer people on-site and increased the need for automation to allow for greater production levels at a lower level of labor.\nThe 2021 BDO Manufacturing CFO Outlook Survey, conducted in September 2020, provides some fantastic insight into how things are changing for those manufacturing companies with revenues ranging from $250 million to $3 billion and how the pandemic has affected them. According to the report, “Prior to the pandemic, the Industry 4.0 paradigm shift was already underway, bringing together the physical and digital worlds to change the fundamentals of production. COVID-19 has accelerated the paradigm, compressing the timeframe for the industry to get on board.” The top CFO priority for 2021 is “Investing in Technology or Infrastructure.” The most critical factor for recovery, according to middle-market manufacturers, is “Supply Chain Stability” followed by “Productivity Gains” and when it comes to evolving their workforce strategy in the coming year, the second-highest priority (after diversity and inclusion as a business strategy) is automating manual labor.\nAccording to the recent research report, “Industrial Automation Market by Component (Plant-level Controls, Enterprise-level Controls, Plant Instrumentation), Mode of Automation (Semi-automatic, Fully-automatic), and End User (Oil & Gas, Automotive, Food & Beverage) - Global Forecast to 2027”, the industrial automation market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.3% from 2020 to 2027, growing from $164.2 billion to $306.2 billion by 2027.\nIndustrial automation is in the midst of a game-changing transformation. Advancements such as machine learning, augmented reality, cyber-physical systems, autonomous assets, real-time analytics, and the IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) promise extraordinary operational achievements. In addition, we are seeing similar pressures here against closed systems that we saw in corporate automation (which we will cover in the weeks to come). In much the way that consumers of office software and automation systems pushed for solutions being more easily integrated with other products and less fussy (technical term) about the platforms on which they operate, we are seeing similar demands for industrial automation solutions. This bodes well for more flexible and more rapidly improving solutions.\nClosed systems are expensive to upgrade and maintain, limit innovation and restrict access to best-of-breed technologies. Just as we’ve seen in the office, industrial enterprises are increasingly demanding open, standards-based automation systems that are portable, interoperable, and intrinsically cyber secure. As we look towards the future, we see digital-first industrial enterprises and smart factories using universal automation that will significantly increase efficiency, reliability, and productivity from safe and secure (often remote) operations that easily adapt to market changes and customer demands. In short, industrial operations of the future will be data-driven, asset-centric architectures leveraging human innovation rather than relying on a workforce engaged in endless repetitive tasks. We also expect to see accelerated adoption of edge computing along with 5G and WiFi 6. After experiencing first-hand the vulnerabilities of their operations during lockdowns, we expect to see a push to implement systems that will allow for maintenance and upgrades to be conducted remotely and/or via automation.\nWhat does this mean for investors?\nFirst, much of this automation is going to be dependent on expanded data networks such as 5G and WiFi 6, which means further demand for products from companies providing the underlying digital infrastructure technologies such as Maxlinear (MXL), Skyworks Solutions Inc (SWKS), Applied Optoelectronics Inc (AAOI),and Broadcom (AVGO).\nCompanies providing factory automation products include Fanuc (FANUY),Danaher Corporation (DHR), Siemens AG (SIEGY), Yaskawa Electric Corp (YASKF), Emerson Electric Co (EMR),Honeywell (HON),Rockwell Automation Inc (ROK),and Eaton Corp (ETN).\nFinally, let us not forget that many manufacturers are turning to 3D printing, which bodes well for companies such as The ExOne Co (XONE), Markforged - which has announced plans to go public via a merger with publicly trade SPAC One (AONE),Stratasys Ltd (SSYS), and Materialise NV (MTLS).\nDisclosures\nMaxlinear (MXL), Skyworks Solutions Inc (SWKS), Applied Optoelectronics Inc (AAOI),and Broadcom (AVGO) are constituents in the Tematica BITA Digital Infrastructure and Connectivity Index.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":182,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":322605754,"gmtCreate":1615799905278,"gmtModify":1704786654196,"author":{"id":"3573992467466261","authorId":"3573992467466261","name":"Albinotofu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61dc21c4c54604259c04881146f986b7","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573992467466261","authorIdStr":"3573992467466261"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Where

tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"576\"><span>Source: Marcus Krauss / Shutterstock.com</span></p>\n<p>I must admit, when I was given this assignment my first thought was I’m the last guy to be talking about Reddit stocks. I think the attention being paid to Reddit and meme stocks is a bunch of hokum.</p>\n<p>The arguments abound whether the meme stock frenzy is&nbsp;a permanent part of the investing landscape.</p>\n<p>“This is not going to end well,” Former E*Trade CEO Karl Roessner told<i>CNBC</i>in early June while discussing the AMC rally. “I think historically we’ve seen this in the past, but I do believethis grouphas staying power.”</p>\n<p>However, if you’re a value investor, the mere presence of this kind of retail investor is music to your ears. While the sheep are out buying&nbsp;<b>GameStop</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GME</u></b>), you can pick up shares in some of America’s better companies that trade at a discount.</p>\n<p>That’s not easy when the&nbsp;Cyclically Adjusted PE Ratio&nbsp;(CAPE) of 38.11 is at the second-highest level on record — the highest was in December 1999 — with no end in sight to the multiple’s upward trajectory.</p>\n<p>With that in mind, I’ve rated the&nbsp;top 10 Reddit stocks— based on the number of comments made on r/WallStreetBets — from best to worst as a long-term buy:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>KB Home</b>(NYSE:<b><u>KBH</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Palantir Technologies</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Clean Energy Fuels</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>CLNE</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>BlackBerry</b>(NYSE:<b><u>BB</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Workhorse Group</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>WKHS</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>AMC Entertainment</b>(NYSE:<b><u>AMC</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>ContextLogic</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>WISH</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Globalstar</b>(NYSEAMERICAN:<b><u>GSAT</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Clover Health</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>CLOV</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Tesla (TSLA)</b></p>\n<p>Say what you will about Elon Musk, but there’s no question he’s built one heck of a company. Soon, Tesla will have a fourth factory open in Berlin. Even though the original opening date of July 1 is no longer on the table due to myriad reasons, it will ultimately produce millions of electric vehicles (EVs) for willing European buyers.</p>\n<p>The company has added a&nbsp;battery cell production&nbsp;component to the plant outside Berlin. It will produce 500 million cells annually representing 50 gigawatt hours (GWh) of energy, 25% higher than&nbsp;<b>Volkswagen’s</b>(OTCMKTS:<b><u>VWAGY</u></b>) planned facility a couple hundred miles away.</p>\n<p>Across the pond in Texas, the company’s fifth so-called Gigafactory is getting closer to being ready for production. This plant will produce an updated version of the Model Y using “mega casting” technology to speed up the production process while delivering a lighter vehicle at the same time. It currently&nbsp;uses this technology&nbsp;at its plant in Shanghai.</p>\n<p>Tesla has afree cash flow (FCF) marginof 22.3% based on $35.94 billion in trailing-12-month revenue.</p>\n<p><b>KB Home (KBH)</b></p>\n<p>The largest homebuilders in America are having&nbsp;trouble keeping up with demand&nbsp;at the moment. At least for now, KB Home is meeting the demand from customers, 64% of which were first-time buyers in the latest quarter.</p>\n<p>“Operationally, our divisions are doing an&nbsp;excellent job&nbsp;of navigating this environment of demand strength and well-publicized supply chain constraints as we effectively balanced pace, price and starts to optimize our assets and manage our production,” said KB Home CEO Jeff Mezger in the Q2 2021 conference call.</p>\n<p>KB Home is so busy that the number of homes started in Q1 2021 and Q2 2021 was equivalent to 75% of the number of homes started for 2020. As a result, it expects to deliver $6 billion in housing revenue in 2021 at the midpoint of guidance, with operating margins between 11.5% and 12.0%.</p>\n<p>KB Home has anFCF margin of 6.5%based on $4.78 billion in trailing 12-month revenue.</p>\n<p><b>Palantir Technologies (PLTR)</b></p>\n<p>Palantir has been a public company for less than a year. The provider of data analytics software platforms for government agencies, corporations, and other large institutions, sold no shares last September when directly listedon the NYSE.</p>\n<p>The reference price was $7.25. PLTR stock is up 277.7% through the start of June 29.</p>\n<p>Not only is it growing its business — in the latest quarter, itsU.S. commercial revenuegrew 72% year-over-year while its U.S. government revenue jumped 83% YOY — it is also busy investing in other tech companies looking to go public.</p>\n<p>For example, it has invested in six private investments in public equity (PIPE) in the past three months. These PIPEs are part of the ongoing interest in special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs). Palantir invests&nbsp;in the PIPEs&nbsp;to gain financial returns and collaborate with these companies, which use its data analytic tools for their businesses.</p>\n<p>I’m not 100% sold on Palantir&nbsp;just yet, but it’s a good long-term buy compared to some of the Reddit stocks on this list.</p>\n<p>Palantir has anFCF margin of 9%based on $1.2 billion in trailing 12-month revenue.</p>\n<p><b>Clean Energy Fuels</b><b>(</b><b>CLNE)</b></p>\n<p>Back in February,I recommended CLNE. At the time, it was trading around $12.97. It was one of seven stocks to buy under $20. As I write this, it’s just under $11, so it’s lost ground over the past four months.</p>\n<p>I liked Clean Energy for several reasons.</p>\n<p>First, it provides three kinds of natural gas fuel for commercial trucks: compressed (CNG), liquified (LNG), and renewable (RNG). It’s the only fuel provider to do so. Secondly, RNG fuel enables trucking companies to deliver their services while getting close to or achieving carbon negative status. Third, it’s got fueling stations in 43 states and Canada. Lastly, it’s got deep pockets.<b>Total</b>(OTCMKTS:<b><u>TTFNF</u></b>) owns 25% of its stock.</p>\n<p>Oh, and as I said in February, from an adjusted EBITDA basis (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), it makes money while also growing revenues at a steady pace.</p>\n<p>In the meantime, Clean Energy has anFCF margin of 24.2%based on $283 million in trailing 12-month revenue.</p>\n<p><b>BlackBerry (BB)</b></p>\n<p>I can remember when&nbsp;President Barack Obama&nbsp;first entered the White House in January 2009. The BlackBerry was considered the cat’s meow when it came to mobile phones.

I think the attention being paid to Reddit and meme stocks is a bunch of hokum.\nThe arguments abound whether the meme stock frenzy is a permanent part of the investing landscape.\n“This is not going to end well,” Former E*Trade CEO Karl Roessner toldCNBCin early June while discussing the AMC rally. “I think historically we’ve seen this in the past, but I do believethis grouphas staying power.”\nHowever, if you’re a value investor, the mere presence of this kind of retail investor is music to your ears. While the sheep are out buying GameStop(NYSE:GME), you can pick up shares in some of America’s better companies that trade at a discount.\nThat’s not easy when the Cyclically Adjusted PE Ratio (CAPE) of 38.11 is at the second-highest level on record — the highest was in December 1999 — with no end in sight to the multiple’s upward trajectory.\nWith that in mind, I’ve rated the top 10 Reddit stocks— based on the number of comments made on r/WallStreetBets — from best to worst as a long-term buy:\n\nTesla(NASDAQ:TSLA)\nKB Home(NYSE:KBH)\nPalantir Technologies(NYSE:PLTR)\nClean Energy Fuels(NASDAQ:CLNE)\nBlackBerry(NYSE:BB)\nWorkhorse Group(NASDAQ:WKHS)\nAMC Entertainment(NYSE:AMC)\nContextLogic(NASDAQ:WISH)\nGlobalstar(NYSEAMERICAN:GSAT)\nClover Health(NASDAQ:CLOV)\n\nTesla (TSLA)\nSay what you will about Elon Musk, but there’s no question he’s built one heck of a company. Soon, Tesla will have a fourth factory open in Berlin. Even though the original opening date of July 1 is no longer on the table due to myriad reasons, it will ultimately produce millions of electric vehicles (EVs) for willing European buyers.\nThe company has added a battery cell production component to the plant outside Berlin. It will produce 500 million cells annually representing 50 gigawatt hours (GWh) of energy, 25% higher than Volkswagen’s(OTCMKTS:VWAGY) planned facility a couple hundred miles away.\nAcross the pond in Texas, the company’s fifth so-called Gigafactory is getting closer to being ready for production. This plant will produce an updated version of the Model Y using “mega casting” technology to speed up the production process while delivering a lighter vehicle at the same time. It currently uses this technology at its plant in Shanghai.\nTesla has afree cash flow (FCF) marginof 22.3% based on $35.94 billion in trailing-12-month revenue.\nKB Home (KBH)\nThe largest homebuilders in America are having trouble keeping up with demand at the moment. At least for now, KB Home is meeting the demand from customers, 64% of which were first-time buyers in the latest quarter.\n“Operationally, our divisions are doing an excellent job of navigating this environment of demand strength and well-publicized supply chain constraints as we effectively balanced pace, price and starts to optimize our assets and manage our production,” said KB Home CEO Jeff Mezger in the Q2 2021 conference call.\nKB Home is so busy that the number of homes started in Q1 2021 and Q2 2021 was equivalent to 75% of the number of homes started for 2020. As a result, it expects to deliver $6 billion in housing revenue in 2021 at the midpoint of guidance, with operating margins between 11.5% and 12.0%.\nKB Home has anFCF margin of 6.5%based on $4.78 billion in trailing 12-month revenue.\nPalantir Technologies (PLTR)\nPalantir has been a public company for less than a year. The provider of data analytics software platforms for government agencies, corporations, and other large institutions, sold no shares last September when directly listedon the NYSE.\nThe reference price was $7.25. PLTR stock is up 277.7% through the start of June 29.\nNot only is it growing its business — in the latest quarter, itsU.S. commercial revenuegrew 72% year-over-year while its U.S. government revenue jumped 83% YOY — it is also busy investing in other tech companies looking to go public.\nFor example, it has invested in six private investments in public equity (PIPE) in the past three months. These PIPEs are part of the ongoing interest in special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs). Palantir invests in the PIPEs to gain financial returns and collaborate with these companies, which use its data analytic tools for their businesses.\nI’m not 100% sold on Palantir just yet, but it’s a good long-term buy compared to some of the Reddit stocks on this list.\nPalantir has anFCF margin of 9%based on $1.2 billion in trailing 12-month revenue.\nClean Energy Fuels(CLNE)\nBack in February,I recommended CLNE. At the time, it was trading around $12.97. It was one of seven stocks to buy under $20. As I write this, it’s just under $11, so it’s lost ground over the past four months.\nI liked Clean Energy for several reasons.\nFirst, it provides three kinds of natural gas fuel for commercial trucks: compressed (CNG), liquified (LNG), and renewable (RNG). It’s the only fuel provider to do so. Secondly, RNG fuel enables trucking companies to deliver their services while getting close to or achieving carbon negative status. Third, it’s got fueling stations in 43 states and Canada. Lastly, it’s got deep pockets.Total(OTCMKTS:TTFNF) owns 25% of its stock.\nOh, and as I said in February, from an adjusted EBITDA basis (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), it makes money while also growing revenues at a steady pace.\nIn the meantime, Clean Energy has anFCF margin of 24.2%based on $283 million in trailing 12-month revenue.\nBlackBerry (BB)\nI can remember when President Barack Obama first entered the White House in January 2009. The BlackBerry was considered the cat’s meow when it came to mobile phones. By the time he left office in January 2017, it was in the dustbin of history.\nNow supplying security software to automobile manufacturers and other enterprises and governments worldwide — a research firm recently said its QNX software is installed in195 million vehicles worldwide — the Reddit crowd have taken to the Waterloo, Ontario-based tech company.\nThings have turned around for BlackBerry.\nAt least, enough so to provide CEO John Chen with a handsome compensation package. Proxy advisory firm Glass Lewis recently blasted the company, suggesting its compensation plan had no relation to its overall corporate performance.\nAs a result of the January Reddit rally, which saw BB stock move from $6.70 at the beginning of the month to a 52-week high of $28.77 by the end, Chen could receive as much as $206 million in cash and stock compensation from the long-term incentives issued in 2019.\nOn a GAAP basis,BlackBerry still loses money. That said, the pivot it’s made to software has given it another shot at tech stardom. We’ll see if it gain regain its former glory from the Obama years.\nIn the meantime, BlackBerry has anFCF margin of 9.3%based on $861 million in trailing 12-month revenue.\nWorkhorse Group (WKHS)\nThe last time I wrote about Workhorse Group was in late April. At the time, it was trading around $12.50. I argued that if it got the backlog of 8,000 commercial electric vehicle delivery trucks out the door over the next 12 to 24 months, it would have an ultra-low price-to-sales ratio of 4.2.\nLong story short, if it did, its stock would be worth more than $12.50.\nWell, on June 16, Workhorse officially protested the United States Postal Service awarding the estimated $6 billion contract to manufacture its next-generation delivery vehicle to Oshkosh(NYSE:OSK). The news pushed WKHS to $17.54 at the start of June 29.\nInvestorPlace’s Dana Blankenhorn recently discussed Workhorse. He believes that the company was in the commercial EV game to ride on the coattails of big guns like Ford(NYSE:F) and General Motors(NYSE:GM). That’s not the craziest theory in the world.\nIn the latest quarter, Workhorse delivered six trucks to customers and generated $521,000 in revenue. It plans to produce 1,000 trucks in 2021. It will have to pick up the pace if it wants to reach that goal. In the meantime, investors can expect its quarterly losses to accelerate as we make our way through the year.\nWorkhorse has an FCF margin of -5,320.2% based on $1.83 million in trailing 12-month revenue. It is for speculative investors only.\nAMC Entertainment (AMC)\nAMC is a stock that I’m conflicted about.\nOn the one hand, I believe that Americans will return to movie theaters in large numbers come fall. That will likely return the chain to pre-Covid revenue numbers. On the other hand, it has a burdensome debt load.\nDespite using the Reddit surge to raise much-needed cash to repay some of this debt — on June 3, it announced it would sell 11.55 million shares at the market to bring in another $600 million— it still has $11.05 billion owed, or 37.6% of its vastly overvalued market capitalization of $29.4 billion.\nFormer E*Trade CEO Karl Roessner appeared on CNBC in early June. While he commended AMC management for selling shares when prices were high, the company is not worth $28 billion.\n“Absent some serious strategic undertakings by that company, it’s still just not worth what it’s trading for right now,” Roessner stated.\nI couldn’t agree more.\nAMC has anFCF margin of -280%based on $449 million in trailing 12-month revenue.\nContextLogic (WISH)\nIn February, I wrote an article about the e-commerce site with the headline“ContextLogic Has Nothing to Do With Retail”.I didn’t understand the composition of its board. It had no retail experience on its board to oversee the CEO.\n“If ContextLogic’s goal is to beat Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN) at discount e-commerce apparel, its board of directors is a sure sign that’s not what it’s after,” I said.\nI finished the article by stating I didn’t get an inspirational vibe from Context Logic’s board of directors. In the four months since, WISH has lost 49% of its value and trades well below its IPO price of $24.\nContextLogic has anFCF margin of -8%based on $2.87 billion in trailing 12-month revenue. I’m really not sure what Redditors see in this one.\nGlobalstar (GSAT)\nNot everyone thinks the provider of mobile satellite services is a bad bet.\nB. Riley analyst Mike Crawford initiated coverage of Globalstar on June 21. The analyst gives it a “buy” rating and a $3.25 target price, double where it’s currently trading. He estimates that the company’s C-Band spectrum could be worth as much as $15 billion.

Let’s hope it comes up with something drastic that will help prevent NOK stock from its constant decline.</p>\n<p>The 5G telecom system maker wants to make its strategy more focused and employ a “more rigorous approach to capital allocation.”</p>\n<p>A strategy change is in order. In the last month NOK stock is down 5% to less than $4 per share. Year-to-date the stock is about flat, up just 2%.</p>\n<p>Problems in Its Business Outlook</p>\n<p>The company indicated in its recently released annual report that on March 18 it will announce a new strategy. On page 16 of the report the company said:</p>\n<blockquote>\n ”\n <i>“Rebalancing for Growth” will be replaced with a refreshed corporate strategy. This will be announced at Capital Markets Day on March 18, 2021.</i>“\n</blockquote>\n<p>Management had better do something. Nokia has been having difficulties with its main business. According to<i>Reuters</i>, the company said revenue at its mainstaynetworks business fell 7% to 5.04 billion euros ($6.05 billion). In addition growth in its 5G equipment sales in the quarter was partially offset by decreases in its legacy radio access products.</p>\n<p>Reports surfaced in mid-2020 that Nokia was potentially going to lose a part of its<b>Verizon</b>(NYSE:<b><u>VZ</u></b>) 5G contract. The company never confirmed this. But Nokia’s new CEO Pekka Lundmark told investors when its 2020 results were released, he expected they would lose market share in North America in 2021. In addition, he warned about price decreases.</p>\n<p>The company has already reorganized into four main divisions and spent 2020 cutting costs. This has had significant results. AsI wrote last month, the company reported 1.356 billion EUR ($1.61 billion) in free cash flow for 2020. Most of that came in the second half and over half of it was during Q4.</p>\n<p><b>Lower Sales Forecast</b></p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Nokia says it expects a second year of declining sales,according to the<i>Financial Times</i>, and a “significant decline” in its core mobile networks. Citing the company’s outlook section on page 6 of its Feb. 4 earnings press release, the FT said the company forecasts 21.8 EUR billion in sales vs. 21.9 EUR billion in 2020. However, the actual statementby the company is:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “\n <i>EUR 20.6 billion to EUR 21.8 billion, assuming continuation of 2020 year-end EUR/USD rate of 1.23</i>“\n</blockquote>\n<p>So far this year, the EUR to USD exchange rate has shown dollar strength. It has risen from $1.21 at the beginning of the year to $1.19 now. This means that dollar revenue will translate into higher amounts of euros than forecast. Therefore, it is possible that in 2021 sales will not fall compared to 2020.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the new CEO told the FT that “he was willing to sacrifice a little bit of profitability” in order to regain leadership in 5G technology. The FT said there was a logical question why Nokia had not won more 5G accounts, given the U.S.-led campaign against<b>Huawei</b>, its Chinese competitor. The FT article implied that was why the CEO and chairman at Nokia were replaced.</p>\n<p>No Dividend Won’t Help NOK Stock</p>\n<p>Nokia cut its dividend in late 2019 and indicated it would restore itonce net cash was above 2 billion euros. On Feb. 5 management reported that its net cash and investments were now 2.485 billion euros. But it still declined to pay the dividend. Here is what Nokia’s president said onpage 2 of its Feb. 4 press release:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “\n <i>Regarding dividend, we are pleased with Nokia’s recent operational performance and satisfied that we have strengthened our cash position.</i>“\n</blockquote>\n<p>This was some sort of attempt to recognize that it previously had said it would restore the dividend if net cash rose to 2 billion euros.

Let’s hope it comes up with something drastic that will help prevent NOK stock from its constant decline.\nThe 5G telecom system maker wants to make its strategy more focused and employ a “more rigorous approach to capital allocation.”\nA strategy change is in order. In the last month NOK stock is down 5% to less than $4 per share. Year-to-date the stock is about flat, up just 2%.\nProblems in Its Business Outlook\nThe company indicated in its recently released annual report that on March 18 it will announce a new strategy. On page 16 of the report the company said:\n\n ”\n “Rebalancing for Growth” will be replaced with a refreshed corporate strategy. This will be announced at Capital Markets Day on March 18, 2021.“\n\nManagement had better do something. Nokia has been having difficulties with its main business. According toReuters, the company said revenue at its mainstaynetworks business fell 7% to 5.04 billion euros ($6.05 billion). In addition growth in its 5G equipment sales in the quarter was partially offset by decreases in its legacy radio access products.\nReports surfaced in mid-2020 that Nokia was potentially going to lose a part of itsVerizon(NYSE:VZ) 5G contract. The company never confirmed this. But Nokia’s new CEO Pekka Lundmark told investors when its 2020 results were released, he expected they would lose market share in North America in 2021. In addition, he warned about price decreases.\nThe company has already reorganized into four main divisions and spent 2020 cutting costs. This has had significant results. AsI wrote last month, the company reported 1.356 billion EUR ($1.61 billion) in free cash flow for 2020. Most of that came in the second half and over half of it was during Q4.\nLower Sales Forecast\nNevertheless, Nokia says it expects a second year of declining sales,according to theFinancial Times, and a “significant decline” in its core mobile networks. Citing the company’s outlook section on page 6 of its Feb. 4 earnings press release, the FT said the company forecasts 21.8 EUR billion in sales vs. 21.9 EUR billion in 2020. However, the actual statementby the company is:\n\n “\n EUR 20.6 billion to EUR 21.8 billion, assuming continuation of 2020 year-end EUR/USD rate of 1.23“\n\nSo far this year, the EUR to USD exchange rate has shown dollar strength. It has risen from $1.21 at the beginning of the year to $1.19 now. This means that dollar revenue will translate into higher amounts of euros than forecast. Therefore, it is possible that in 2021 sales will not fall compared to 2020.\nNevertheless, the new CEO told the FT that “he was willing to sacrifice a little bit of profitability” in order to regain leadership in 5G technology. The FT said there was a logical question why Nokia had not won more 5G accounts, given the U.S.-led campaign againstHuawei, its Chinese competitor. The FT article implied that was why the CEO and chairman at Nokia were replaced.\nNo Dividend Won’t Help NOK Stock\nNokia cut its dividend in late 2019 and indicated it would restore itonce net cash was above 2 billion euros. On Feb. 5 management reported that its net cash and investments were now 2.485 billion euros. But it still declined to pay the dividend. Here is what Nokia’s president said onpage 2 of its Feb. 4 press release:\n\n “\n Regarding dividend, we are pleased with Nokia’s recent operational performance and satisfied that we have strengthened our cash position.“\n\nThis was some sort of attempt to recognize that it previously had said it would restore the dividend if net cash rose to 2 billion euros. But now there is a new hurdle:\n\n “\n However, with the focus on increased investments in 5G and strategic areas, while continuing to establish a track record of sustainable cash generation, the Board does not propose a dividend or dividend authorization for the financial year 2020. We intend to provide an update on our dividend policy latest at Capital Markets Day. “\n\nIn other words, now we have to wait until Capital Markets Day to find out when the company will pay a dividend, if ever.\nDon’t expect the stock to move higher until its dividend policy is clarified, once again … maybe. The company seems to be willing to make statements that it will not honor in relation to the dividend.\nTherefore, don’t expect the market to be very impressed on Capital Markets Day. Its actions will speak louder than words, at least in terms of the dividend.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":626,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3575016656391852","authorId":"3575016656391852","name":"moonlightbae","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9e8bead30ce122327046cb50ca725a77","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3575016656391852","authorIdStr":"3575016656391852"},"content":"NOK

Watch","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1177644660","media":"nasdaq","summary":"Last week we kicked off our automation series with an overview of the various sectors of the economy","content":"<p>Last week we kicked off our automation series with an overview of the various sectors of the economy that are ramping up their automation levels. This week we are doing a deeper dive into&nbsp;<i>industrial automation</i>, which was already seeing an acceleration pre-pandemic. The pandemic provided further powerful tailwinds as human interaction became riskier and supply chains were brutally disrupted. The new US presidential administration is likely to push for higher wages, which only adds further momentum to this trend.</p>\n<p>The pandemic forced many factories to either close or materially reduce their output, which caused industrial production to drop to a&nbsp;level not seen in over ten years&nbsp;and a&nbsp;profound loss of jobs&nbsp;that have still not yet been recovered. As the lockdowns eased, companies had to find ways to make their production lines safe, which meant fewer people on-site and increased the need for automation to allow for greater production levels at a lower level of labor.</p>\n<p>The&nbsp;2021 BDO Manufacturing CFO Outlook Survey, conducted in September 2020, provides some fantastic insight into how things are changing for those manufacturing companies with revenues ranging from $250 million to $3 billion and how the pandemic has affected them. According to the report, “Prior to the pandemic, the&nbsp;Industry 4.0&nbsp;paradigm shift was already underway, bringing together the physical and digital worlds to change the fundamentals of production. COVID-19 has accelerated the paradigm, compressing the timeframe for the industry to get on board.” The top CFO priority for 2021 is “Investing in Technology or Infrastructure.” The most critical factor for recovery, according to middle-market manufacturers, is “Supply Chain Stability” followed by “Productivity Gains” and when it comes to evolving their workforce strategy in the coming year, the second-highest priority (after diversity and inclusion as a business strategy) is automating manual labor.</p>\n<p>According to the recent research report, “Industrial Automation Market&nbsp;by Component (Plant-level Controls, Enterprise-level Controls, Plant Instrumentation), Mode of Automation (Semi-automatic, Fully-automatic), and End User (Oil &amp; Gas, Automotive, Food &amp; Beverage) - Global Forecast to 2027”, the industrial automation market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.3% from 2020 to 2027, growing from $164.2 billion to $306.2 billion by 2027.</p>\n<p>Industrial automation is in the midst of a game-changing transformation. Advancements such as machine learning, augmented reality,&nbsp;cyber-physical systems, autonomous assets, real-time analytics, and the IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) promise extraordinary operational achievements. In addition, we are seeing similar pressures here against closed systems that we saw in corporate automation (which we will cover in the weeks to come). In much the way that consumers of office software and automation systems pushed for solutions being more easily integrated with other products and less fussy (technical term) about the platforms on which they operate, we are seeing similar demands for industrial automation solutions. This bodes well for more flexible and more rapidly improving solutions.</p>\n<p>Closed systems are expensive to upgrade and maintain, limit innovation and restrict access to best-of-breed technologies. Just as we’ve seen in the office, industrial enterprises are increasingly demanding open, standards-based automation systems that are portable, interoperable, and intrinsically cyber secure. As we look towards the future, we see digital-first industrial enterprises and smart factories using universal automation that will significantly increase efficiency, reliability, and productivity from safe and secure (often remote) operations that easily adapt to market changes and customer demands. In short, industrial operations of the future will be data-driven, asset-centric architectures leveraging human innovation rather than relying on a workforce engaged in endless repetitive tasks. We also expect to see accelerated adoption of&nbsp;edge computing&nbsp;along with 5G and&nbsp;WiFi 6.

This week we are doing a deeper dive into industrial automation, which was already seeing an acceleration pre-pandemic. The pandemic provided further powerful tailwinds as human interaction became riskier and supply chains were brutally disrupted. The new US presidential administration is likely to push for higher wages, which only adds further momentum to this trend.\nThe pandemic forced many factories to either close or materially reduce their output, which caused industrial production to drop to a level not seen in over ten years and a profound loss of jobs that have still not yet been recovered. As the lockdowns eased, companies had to find ways to make their production lines safe, which meant fewer people on-site and increased the need for automation to allow for greater production levels at a lower level of labor.\nThe 2021 BDO Manufacturing CFO Outlook Survey, conducted in September 2020, provides some fantastic insight into how things are changing for those manufacturing companies with revenues ranging from $250 million to $3 billion and how the pandemic has affected them. According to the report, “Prior to the pandemic, the Industry 4.0 paradigm shift was already underway, bringing together the physical and digital worlds to change the fundamentals of production. COVID-19 has accelerated the paradigm, compressing the timeframe for the industry to get on board.” The top CFO priority for 2021 is “Investing in Technology or Infrastructure.” The most critical factor for recovery, according to middle-market manufacturers, is “Supply Chain Stability” followed by “Productivity Gains” and when it comes to evolving their workforce strategy in the coming year, the second-highest priority (after diversity and inclusion as a business strategy) is automating manual labor.\nAccording to the recent research report, “Industrial Automation Market by Component (Plant-level Controls, Enterprise-level Controls, Plant Instrumentation), Mode of Automation (Semi-automatic, Fully-automatic), and End User (Oil & Gas, Automotive, Food & Beverage) - Global Forecast to 2027”, the industrial automation market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.3% from 2020 to 2027, growing from $164.2 billion to $306.2 billion by 2027.\nIndustrial automation is in the midst of a game-changing transformation. Advancements such as machine learning, augmented reality, cyber-physical systems, autonomous assets, real-time analytics, and the IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) promise extraordinary operational achievements. In addition, we are seeing similar pressures here against closed systems that we saw in corporate automation (which we will cover in the weeks to come). In much the way that consumers of office software and automation systems pushed for solutions being more easily integrated with other products and less fussy (technical term) about the platforms on which they operate, we are seeing similar demands for industrial automation solutions. This bodes well for more flexible and more rapidly improving solutions.\nClosed systems are expensive to upgrade and maintain, limit innovation and restrict access to best-of-breed technologies. Just as we’ve seen in the office, industrial enterprises are increasingly demanding open, standards-based automation systems that are portable, interoperable, and intrinsically cyber secure. As we look towards the future, we see digital-first industrial enterprises and smart factories using universal automation that will significantly increase efficiency, reliability, and productivity from safe and secure (often remote) operations that easily adapt to market changes and customer demands. In short, industrial operations of the future will be data-driven, asset-centric architectures leveraging human innovation rather than relying on a workforce engaged in endless repetitive tasks. We also expect to see accelerated adoption of edge computing along with 5G and WiFi 6. After experiencing first-hand the vulnerabilities of their operations during lockdowns, we expect to see a push to implement systems that will allow for maintenance and upgrades to be conducted remotely and/or via automation.\nWhat does this mean for investors?\nFirst, much of this automation is going to be dependent on expanded data networks such as 5G and WiFi 6, which means further demand for products from companies providing the underlying digital infrastructure technologies such as Maxlinear (MXL), Skyworks Solutions Inc (SWKS), Applied Optoelectronics Inc (AAOI),and Broadcom (AVGO).\nCompanies providing factory automation products include Fanuc (FANUY),Danaher Corporation (DHR), Siemens AG (SIEGY), Yaskawa Electric Corp (YASKF), Emerson Electric Co (EMR),Honeywell (HON),Rockwell Automation Inc (ROK),and Eaton Corp (ETN).\nFinally, let us not forget that many manufacturers are turning to 3D printing, which bodes well for companies such as The ExOne Co (XONE), Markforged - which has announced plans to go public via a merger with publicly trade SPAC One (AONE),Stratasys Ltd (SSYS), and Materialise NV (MTLS).\nDisclosures\nMaxlinear (MXL), Skyworks Solutions Inc (SWKS), Applied Optoelectronics Inc (AAOI),and Broadcom (AVGO) are constituents in the Tematica BITA Digital Infrastructure and Connectivity Index.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":182,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
