waste and fu","content":"<p>Andy Jassy, the incoming Amazon CEO, needs to improve labor relations, reduce packaging waste and further its climate goals if it wants to be a world-leading company from an environmental, social and governance perspective.</p>\n<p>Indeed, Amazon’s&nbsp;role model could be Apple,which advocates say has become a sustainability leader among megacap stocks.</p>\n<p>Amazon is starting to make strong operational strides such as investing in electric vehicles for its fleet and running data centers on renewable energy, but remains a laggard in other key ESG pillars such as workplace issues, racial and diversity inclusion and has more work to do on carbon reduction, say ESG advocates. Because of that, only a handle of ESG exchange-traded funds and mutual funds own the company.</p>\n<p>Outgoing CEO Jeff Bezos, the founder of the e-commerce giant, has “actually done the hard stuff, the hardest stuff being operations,” says Andrew Behar, CEO of As You Sow, a nonprofit shareholder advocacy group. “On other issues, though, he’s completely not even thinking about them.”</p>\n<p>Bezos will retain an influential position in the company as executive chairman and one of its largest shareholders. Jassy, the new CEO, is now the head of Amazon Web Services, the company’s cloud-computing business.</p>\n<p>Inhis letter to Amazon’s workforce, Bezos tried to burnish his ESG credentials:</p>\n<p>“As Amazon became large, we decided to use our scale and scope to lead on important social issues. Two high-impact examples: our $15 minimum wage and theClimate Pledge. In both cases, we staked out leadership positions and then asked others to come along with us. In both cases, it’s working. Other large companies are coming our way. I hope you’re proud of that as well.”</p>\n<p>Natasha Lamb, managing partner at Arjuna Capital, a sustainable and impact investment firm focusing on workplace issues for women and people of color, disputes Bezos’ claim of being a leader in these two areas, saying that there was great pressure on the company to increase worker pay and to sign the climate pledge.</p>\n<p>“He is not the poster child of the American dream, but of what is eating America alive, which is growing inequality,” she says.</p>\n<p>Amazonincreasedthe minimum wage to $15 in 2018 after years of criticism that it mistreated and underpaid workers, and the company caughtflakfor what workers said were poor health conditions in the pandemic. It is also fightinga unionization attempt at a warehouse in Alabama.</p>\n<p>Emanuele Colonnelli, an assistant professor of finance at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business who has done ESG research, agrees with Lamb. “A lot of the most promising steps toward ESG seem reactionary, as they have been taken only recently, at a moment in which regulatory and public pressure reached sky-high levels that became impossible to ignore,” he says.</p>\n<p>Although Amazon installed a higher minimum wage,MSCI&nbsp;considers the company a laggard when it comes to corporate behavior and labor management. Overall, MSCI gives Amazon a BBB rating, saying it is average for companies in the retail-consumer discretionary space.</p>\n<p>Lamb says Amazon has become what Walmartwas in the 1990s, criticized for shuttering small businesses. During the coronavirus, “everybody has become so reliant on Amazon, and those patterns are sticky. It has grave implications for small business.”</p>\n<p>Colonnelli says Amazon’s monopoly power can’t be denied and should be at the core of its ESG considerations. “It will be up to Jassy – and Bezos of course- to decide whether they want to be driving the change toward a business model that is less prone to anti-competitive practices, and therefore lead to a more equitable allocation of rents,” he says.</p>\n<p><b>A ‘real opportunity’ to be a leader</b></p>\n<p>Behar says As You Sow has interviewed Amazon employees and says the company has a “real opportunity” to be a leader on human capital management, such as increasing hourly employee wages, improving health care benefits, especially during the pandemic, and paid leave, as well as improving efforts around diversity equity inclusion.</p>\n<p>Lamb says with a new CEO coming on board, she wants greater clarity about defining gender and racial pay equity and to address diversity as a whole, noting that there are very few women and people of color in the company’s upper ranks. She says other shareholders are asking for a racial equity audit and for a worker representative on the board of directors, “which I think would be helpful.”</p>\n<p><b>Climate inroads</b></p>\n<p>When it comes to its climate pledge, Amazon is making some inroads. BloombergNEF said Amazon was the leading corporate buyer of clean energy in 2020, signing 35 separate clean energy power-purchasing agreements, totaling 5.1 gigawatts of power. BNEF says Amazon has now purchased over 7.5GW of clean energy to date, pushing it ahead of Alphabet GOOGL at 6.6GW and Facebook FB at 5.9GW as the world’s largest clean-energy buyer.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f08942b5eaf8d39eb7fe60ce0ba75c91\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"432\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Garvin Jabush, chief investment officer at Green Alpha Advisors, says Amazon’s investments in renewable energy and its $440 million&nbsp;investment&nbsp;in electric-truck start up Rivian are all impressive starts, but the company has a long way to go.</p>\n<p>Green Alpha Advisors doesn’t own Amazon because Jabush says it is still a large contributor to climate risk; he noted the company saw a 15% increase in carbon dioxide&nbsp;emissions&nbsp;in 2019. It also supplies advanced computing data to the oil and gas industry to help fossil-fuel companies locate new deposits.</p>\n<p>Both Jabush and Behar says Amazon faces material risk as it deals with electronic waste and plastic waste. Behar says it is trying to work with the e-commerce giant to reduce waste, noting the company could emulate Best Buy’s&nbsp;take-back program to recycle electronic waste. This could become a sustainable money maker by recouping the copper, gold and silver in used electronic parts, he says.</p>\n<p>Reducing plastic waste is also critical since Amazon is a big user of packaging. Amazon has reduced Styrofoam usage, but “they could commit to zero plastic in two to three years from now and it would make a big difference,” he says.</p>\n<p>Jabush says it’s always a debate at his firm each year about whether to buy Amazon because it is “a phenomenal business,” but he says until it reduces its climate impact, he won’t buy it. But with a new CEO, there’s an opportunity for change, Jabush says, pointing to how Tim Cook changed Apple after taking over from Steve Jobs.</p>\n<p>“Sustainability was low on their priority list, and Tim Cook has made Apple into by far the most sustainable megacap in the world right now,” he says.</p>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Other large companies are coming our way. I hope you’re proud of that as well.”</p>\n<p>Natasha Lamb, managing partner at Arjuna Capital, a sustainable and impact investment firm focusing on workplace issues for women and people of color, disputes Bezos’ claim of being a leader in these two areas, saying that there was great pressure on the company to increase worker pay and to sign the climate pledge.</p>\n<p>“He is not the poster child of the American dream, but of what is eating America alive, which is growing inequality,” she says.</p>\n<p>Amazonincreasedthe minimum wage to $15 in 2018 after years of criticism that it mistreated and underpaid workers, and the company caughtflakfor what workers said were poor health conditions in the pandemic.

She says other shareholders are asking for a racial equity audit and for a worker representative on the board of directors, “which I think would be helpful.”</p>\n<p><b>Climate inroads</b></p>\n<p>When it comes to its climate pledge, Amazon is making some inroads. BloombergNEF said Amazon was the leading corporate buyer of clean energy in 2020, signing 35 separate clean energy power-purchasing agreements, totaling 5.1 gigawatts of power. BNEF says Amazon has now purchased over 7.5GW of clean energy to date, pushing it ahead of Alphabet GOOGL at 6.6GW and Facebook FB at 5.9GW as the world’s largest clean-energy buyer.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f08942b5eaf8d39eb7fe60ce0ba75c91\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"432\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Garvin Jabush, chief investment officer at Green Alpha Advisors, says Amazon’s investments in renewable energy and its $440 million&nbsp;investment&nbsp;in electric-truck start up Rivian are all impressive starts, but the company has a long way to go.</p>\n<p>Green Alpha Advisors doesn’t own Amazon because Jabush says it is still a large contributor to climate risk; he noted the company saw a 15% increase in carbon dioxide&nbsp;emissions&nbsp;in 2019.

It was the lowest level since the 1990s and 30 per cent below the investment trough that followed the 2008-09 Global Financial Crisis.While the world as a whole struggled, China held on, said UNCTAD, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. It became the world’s largest FDI recipient with flows rising by 4 per cent to US$163 billion.A return to positive GDP growth and a targeted investment facilitation programme helped stabilise investment in China after the first coronavirus lockdowns there, the agency said.Among Chinese sectors, high-tech industries saw an FDI increase of 11 per cent in 2020, and cross-border mergers and acquisitions rose by 54 per cent, mostly in information and communications technology, and pharmaceutical industries.Flows to North America slid by 46 per cent to US$166 billion, and those to the US alone fell 49 per cent to an estimated US$134 billion in 2020.Europe fared worse, with flows down by two-thirds to a negative US$4 billion. In the UK, FDI fell to zero, and declines were recorded in other major countries. Elsewhere, flows to Australia slumped but those to Israel rose.Globally, the UN agency expects foreign direct investment to remain weak in 2021 due to uncertainty over the evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic.“The effects of the pandemic on investment will linger,” said James Zhan, director of UNCTAD’s investment division. “Investors are likely to remain cautious in committing capital to new overseas productive assets.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":374,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":319438154,"gmtCreate":1611592854578,"gmtModify":1704861281814,"author":{"id":"3574683000108505","authorId":"3574683000108505","name":"ELELEL","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ebe6dbb2a89793b93d019af05d353924","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574683000108505","authorIdStr":"3574683000108505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/319438154","repostId":"2105349950","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2105349950","kind":"highlight","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":1611573575,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2105349950?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-01-25 19:19","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Get ready for Apple's first $100 billion quarter in history","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2105349950","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Apple earnings preview: Successful iPhone 12 holiday sales are expected to help drive record revenue above milestone mark.

Apple declined to give formal guidance for the quarter on the last earnings call, but Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri said at the time to expect growth in iPhone revenue even though devices would begin shipping later in the quarter than they did a year prior.The FactSet consensus calls for $7.38 billion in Pad revenue, up from $5.98 billion; $8.63 billion in Mac revenue, up from $7.16 billion; $15.17 billion in services revenue, up from $12.72 billion; and $11.49 billion in revenue for the wearables, home, and accessories category, up from $10.01 billion.Stock movement: Apple shares have gained following three of the past five earnings reports, and the shares are up 72% over the past year as the Dow Jones Industrial Average , which counts Apple as a component, has gained 7%.Of the 41 analysts tracked by FactSet who cover Apple's stock, 28 have buy ratings, 10 have hold ratings and three have sell ratings, with an average price target of $132.71.Apple has declined to give a quantitative financial forecast in each of its last three earnings reports because of uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the trend will likely continue this quarter.\"Given lingering uncertainty, we expect Apple is more likely to provide 'guidelines' rather than 'guidance' for Q2,\" Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi wrote in a note to clients. In addition to the many unknowns around the pandemic, Apple's late launch timing of the latest batch of iPhones means that the March quarter could be stronger than usual, since there were fewer iPhone 12 \"selling days\" leading up to it.Sacconaghi will also be watching for commentary on Apple's ongoing dispute with app developers led by Epic Games, which sued Apple and claimed that the company's App Store rules around in-app purchases are monopolistic. Apple lowered commission rates for smaller developers that make up the bulk of those on the App Store, even as these developers don't contribute too much to Apple's overall revenue from the platform.More on Apple and Epic: 'Fortnite' dispute might open floodgates to serious scrutiny of Apple\"We believe that Apple's decision to lower commissions was politically astute, allowing the company to portray itself as a promoter of small business, while also superficially addressing the complaint that its high app store fees are stifling competition and innovation,\" wrote Sacconaghi, who has a market perform rating and $120 price target on the stock. \"It remains to be seen if Apple will provide further commentary on this issue; that said, we continue to believe that the legal risk to App Store revenue is low.\"Morgan Stanley's Huberty is interested in the company's China momentum. She suspects that the company is benefiting from weakness at Huawei, citing data that suggest customers are switching from Huawei to Apple devices at the highest rate in 15 months. She has an overweight rating and $152 price target on the stock.Goldman Sachs analyst Rod Hall echoed the point about Huawei's challenges, though he's concerned \"that Apple has already begun cutting iPhone orders\" and that build orders for the first half of 2021 suggest a move toward models with lower average selling prices.For more: Apple bear throws cold water on 'supercycle' story\"These changes are consistent, in our opinion, with a normal iPhone redesign cycle but are not consistent with a supercycle,\" he wrote. \"As a result we continue to expect iPhone replacement rates to resume their ongoing decline in 2021.\" Hall has a sell rating and $85 target price on Apple shares .Monness, Crespi, Hardt & Co. analyst Brian White highlights several new products and services that Apple could shed light on during the quarterly call. During the December quarter, the company began selling its AirPods Max over-the-ear headphones and rolled out both a subscription fitness offering and a way to bundle service together for a discount.Read: Apple is getting an earful over the AirPods Max's $549 price tag\"In our view, Apple's portfolio was positioned better-than-ever heading into the recent holiday season, while product and service updates position Planet Apple well in 2021,\" he wrote. White has a buy rating and $144 price target on Apple shares.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":238,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":383279109,"gmtCreate":1612882806401,"gmtModify":1704875424973,"author":{"id":"3574683000108505","authorId":"3574683000108505","name":"ELELEL","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ebe6dbb2a89793b93d019af05d353924","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574683000108505","authorIdStr":"3574683000108505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/383279109","repostId":"1176373590","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1176373590","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1612868893,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1176373590?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-09 19:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What new Amazon CEO Andy Jassy needs to do to become a leader in sustainability like Apple","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1176373590","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Andy Jassy, the incoming Amazon CEO, needs to improve labor relations, reduce packaging waste and fu","content":"<p>Andy Jassy, the incoming Amazon CEO, needs to improve labor relations, reduce packaging waste and further its climate goals if it wants to be a world-leading company from an environmental, social and governance perspective.</p>\n<p>Indeed, Amazon’s&nbsp;role model could be Apple,which advocates say has become a sustainability leader among megacap stocks.</p>\n<p>Amazon is starting to make strong operational strides such as investing in electric vehicles for its fleet and running data centers on renewable energy, but remains a laggard in other key ESG pillars such as workplace issues, racial and diversity inclusion and has more work to do on carbon reduction, say ESG advocates.

That growing belief is reflected in theproliferation, valuations, andperformanceof electric and hydrogen-powered vehicle stocks.</p><p>As of Tuesday, investors have another stock that is part of that story to follow and evaluate. Hydrogen fuel cell makerHyzon Motorshas agreed to merge withDecarbonization Plus Acquisition(ticker: DCRB), a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. The companies expect to close the transaction in the second quarter, when Hyzon will take over the SPAC’s Nasdaq listing under a to-be-determined ticker symbol.</p><p>As written, the deal values Hyzon at roughly $2.7 billion including proceeds. But rumors of the coming agreementleaked last week, sending Decarbonization stock higher than the $10 per share that valuation is based on. Shares closed at $17.76 Monday, implying about $4.8 billion for the merged entity.</p><p>It’s an attractive early valuation for a new hydrogen-technology stock.Nikola(NKLA), which became publicly traded via a SPAC merger in 2020, is currently valued at about $9 billion. Fuel cell technology companyPlug Power(PLUG) has a market capitalization of about $32 billion.</p><p>Hyzon’s business model is closer to Plug’s than Nikola’s.Nikola plansto manufacture and assemble Nikola-branded hydrogen fuel-cell powered trucks, plus it also wants to build and operate hydrogen filling stations for its customers. Plug focuses more on hydrogen fuel-cell technology and integrating its technology into multiple transportation applications.</p><p>Like Plug, Hyzon isn’t interested in building its own trucks from the ground up. The company has developed what it believes is leading hydrogen fuel-cell technology for heavy duty transportation applications. It wants to supply that powertrain to truck-makers and fleet owners to put in whatever truck or bus body they want. Hyzon wants to be like theCummins(CMI) of hydrogen.</p><p>“The core value proposition in the vehicle is actually all about the fuel cell,” Hyzon’s CEO and co-founder Craig Knight tells<i>Barron’s</i>. “Historically a diesel truck has been defined by the quality and performance of its engine, and we don’t think that changes as we [move to hydrogen-powered trucks.]”</p><p>Hyzon’s fuel cell tech comes from its parent company, Asia-basedHorizon, which has been developing fuel cells for stationary and mobile power applications for two decades. Horizon will still own about 50% of the outstanding shares of Hyzon when the merger is complete.</p><p>Commercial hydrogen and electrification stocks are on fire. Several tracked by<i>Barron’s</i>, includingWorkhorse(WKHS) andBallard Power Systems(BLDP) are up about 68% year to date on average after rising roughly 440% in 2020. Both returns crush comparable numbers for the&nbsp;S&amp;P 500.</p><p>Alternative powertrain technology in the commercial vehicle space might happen faster than in personal transportation market. Commercial vehicles are driven more, on average, each day, so fuel savings pile up faster.

That growing belief is reflected in theproliferation, valuations, andperformanceof electric and hydrogen-powered vehicle stocks.As of Tuesday, investors have another stock that is part of that story to follow and evaluate. Hydrogen fuel cell makerHyzon Motorshas agreed to merge withDecarbonization Plus Acquisition(ticker: DCRB), a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. The companies expect to close the transaction in the second quarter, when Hyzon will take over the SPAC’s Nasdaq listing under a to-be-determined ticker symbol.As written, the deal values Hyzon at roughly $2.7 billion including proceeds. But rumors of the coming agreementleaked last week, sending Decarbonization stock higher than the $10 per share that valuation is based on. Shares closed at $17.76 Monday, implying about $4.8 billion for the merged entity.It’s an attractive early valuation for a new hydrogen-technology stock.Nikola(NKLA), which became publicly traded via a SPAC merger in 2020, is currently valued at about $9 billion. Fuel cell technology companyPlug Power(PLUG) has a market capitalization of about $32 billion.Hyzon’s business model is closer to Plug’s than Nikola’s.Nikola plansto manufacture and assemble Nikola-branded hydrogen fuel-cell powered trucks, plus it also wants to build and operate hydrogen filling stations for its customers. Plug focuses more on hydrogen fuel-cell technology and integrating its technology into multiple transportation applications.Like Plug, Hyzon isn’t interested in building its own trucks from the ground up. The company has developed what it believes is leading hydrogen fuel-cell technology for heavy duty transportation applications. It wants to supply that powertrain to truck-makers and fleet owners to put in whatever truck or bus body they want. Hyzon wants to be like theCummins(CMI) of hydrogen.“The core value proposition in the vehicle is actually all about the fuel cell,” Hyzon’s CEO and co-founder Craig Knight tellsBarron’s. “Historically a diesel truck has been defined by the quality and performance of its engine, and we don’t think that changes as we [move to hydrogen-powered trucks.]”Hyzon’s fuel cell tech comes from its parent company, Asia-basedHorizon, which has been developing fuel cells for stationary and mobile power applications for two decades. Horizon will still own about 50% of the outstanding shares of Hyzon when the merger is complete.Commercial hydrogen and electrification stocks are on fire. Several tracked byBarron’s, includingWorkhorse(WKHS) andBallard Power Systems(BLDP) are up about 68% year to date on average after rising roughly 440% in 2020. Both returns crush comparable numbers for the S&P 500.Alternative powertrain technology in the commercial vehicle space might happen faster than in personal transportation market. Commercial vehicles are driven more, on average, each day, so fuel savings pile up faster. What’s more, electrified vehicles have fewer parts to fix, so maintenance costs tend to be lower compared with diesel and gasoline powered options.“We expect unavoidable and rapid development of the hydrogen economy globally over the next 10 years,” says Robert Tichio, a Decarbonization SPAC director and partner at private-equity firmRiverstone Holdings.“It is our view that hydrogen is a very important part of the decarbonization solution especially for certain categories of transportation and mobility, and will absolutely coexist with battery electric vehicles.”Riverstone is the sponsor of another SPAC—Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation II(DCRNU)—which just went public last week, raising $350 million.Decarbonization Plus I listed last fall, raising about $226 million. After fees, Hyzon is getting that cash plus a $400 million private investment in public equity, or PIPE. Institutional investors including BlackRock, Fidelity, and Wellington are putting up that cash at $10 per share.Proceeds from the deal will go to building out Hyzon’s facilities and team, and toward further research and development.“There are a lot of companies that want to work with us, because Hyzon represents their first opportunity to scale their hydrogen technologies in the market,” Knight says. “In the next few years, Hyzon will put thousands of vehicles on the road while others are still talking—it’s very easy to talk about getting into hydrogen, but very difficult to do.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":499,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":311065978,"gmtCreate":1611757790794,"gmtModify":1704862913328,"author":{"id":"3574683000108505","authorId":"3574683000108505","name":"ELELEL","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ebe6dbb2a89793b93d019af05d353924","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574683000108505","authorIdStr":"3574683000108505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok good","listText":"Ok good","text":"Ok good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/311065978","repostId":"2106404412","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2106404412","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1611708733,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2106404412?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-01-27 08:52","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"PRECIOUS-Gold steady ahead of U.S. Fed policy decision","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2106404412","media":"Reuters","summary":"Jan 27 (Reuters) - Gold prices held steady on Wednesday ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary","content":"<p>Jan 27 (Reuters) - Gold prices held steady on Wednesday ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision due later in the day and as investors awaited a stimulus package in the world's largest economy.</p><p>FUNDAMENTALS</p><p>* Spot gold  was little changed at $1,849.76 per ounce by 0031 GMT.

Apple declined to give formal guidance for the quarter on the last earnings call, but Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri said at the time to expect growth in iPhone revenue even though devices would begin shipping later in the quarter than they did a year prior.</p><p>The FactSet consensus calls for $7.38 billion in Pad revenue, up from $5.98 billion; $8.63 billion in Mac revenue, up from $7.16 billion; $15.17 billion in services revenue, up from $12.72 billion; and $11.49 billion in revenue for the wearables, home, and accessories category, up from $10.01 billion.</p><p>Stock movement: Apple shares have gained following three of the past five earnings reports, and the shares are up 72% over the past year as the Dow Jones Industrial Average , which counts Apple as a component, has gained 7%.</p><p>Of the 41 analysts tracked by FactSet who cover Apple's stock, 28 have buy ratings, 10 have hold ratings and three have sell ratings, with an average price target of $132.71.</p><p>Apple has declined to give a quantitative financial forecast in each of its last three earnings reports because of uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the trend will likely continue this quarter.</p><p>\"Given lingering uncertainty, we expect Apple is more likely to provide 'guidelines' rather than 'guidance' for Q2,\" Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi wrote in a note to clients. In addition to the many unknowns around the pandemic, Apple's late launch timing of the latest batch of iPhones means that the March quarter could be stronger than usual, since there were fewer iPhone 12 \"selling days\" leading up to it.</p><p>Sacconaghi will also be watching for commentary on Apple's ongoing dispute with app developers led by Epic Games, which sued Apple and claimed that the company's App Store rules around in-app purchases are monopolistic. Apple lowered commission rates for smaller developers that make up the bulk of those on the App Store, even as these developers don't contribute too much to Apple's overall revenue from the platform.</p><p>More on Apple and Epic: 'Fortnite' dispute might open floodgates to serious scrutiny of Apple</p><p>\"We believe that Apple's decision to lower commissions was politically astute, allowing the company to portray itself as a promoter of small business, while also superficially addressing the complaint that its high app store fees are stifling competition and innovation,\" wrote Sacconaghi, who has a market perform rating and $120 price target on the stock. \"It remains to be seen if Apple will provide further commentary on this issue; that said, we continue to believe that the legal risk to App Store revenue is low.\"</p><p>Morgan Stanley's Huberty is interested in the company's China momentum. She suspects that the company is benefiting from weakness at Huawei, citing data that suggest customers are switching from Huawei to Apple devices at the highest rate in 15 months. She has an overweight rating and $152 price target on the stock.</p><p>Goldman Sachs analyst Rod Hall echoed the point about Huawei's challenges, though he's concerned \"that Apple has already begun cutting iPhone orders\" and that build orders for the first half of 2021 suggest a move toward models with lower average selling prices.</p><p>For more: Apple bear throws cold water on 'supercycle' story</p><p>\"These changes are consistent, in our opinion, with a normal iPhone redesign cycle but are not consistent with a supercycle,\" he wrote. \"As a result we continue to expect iPhone replacement rates to resume their ongoing decline in 2021.\" Hall has a sell rating and $85 target price on Apple shares .</p><p>Monness, Crespi, Hardt &amp; Co. analyst Brian White highlights several new products and services that Apple could shed light on during the quarterly call. During the December quarter, the company began selling its AirPods Max over-the-ear headphones and rolled out both a subscription fitness offering and a way to bundle service together for a discount.</p><p>Read: Apple is getting an earful over the AirPods Max's $549 price tag</p><p>\"In our view, Apple's portfolio was positioned better-than-ever heading into the recent holiday season, while product and service updates position Planet Apple well in 2021,\" he wrote.

Apple no longer provides unit-sales metrics that shed light on its average selling prices, but the company usually offers some qualitative comments about which devices are performing best.Apple has also seen strong sales of Macs and iPads amid the pandemic, with more people working and studying from home, and that momentum is expected to have continued into the fiscal first quarter. The company launched new iPads late last year as well as its first computers to feature the company's own custom chip .Analysts expect record performance for the company's services category as well, though one area may not hold up as well. Apple has done a good job of transitioning sales to its online store given the COVID-19 crisis, but it's \"overly reliant on in-store customer purchases\" to drive sales of its AppleCare insurance product, Huberty wrote.Earnings: Analysts tracked by FactSet expect that Apple earned $1.41 a share in the December quarter, up from $1.25 a year earlier. On Estimize, which crowdsources estimates from hedge funds, academics and others, the average projection calls for $1.45 a share.Revenue: The FactSet consensus models a record $102.54 billion in revenue for Apple's fiscal first quarter, up from $91.82 billion a year prior.

Because of that, only a handle of ESG exchange-traded funds and mutual funds own the company.</p>\n<p>Outgoing CEO Jeff Bezos, the founder of the e-commerce giant, has “actually done the hard stuff, the hardest stuff being operations,” says Andrew Behar, CEO of As You Sow, a nonprofit shareholder advocacy group. “On other issues, though, he’s completely not even thinking about them.”</p>\n<p>Bezos will retain an influential position in the company as executive chairman and one of its largest shareholders.

Two high-impact examples: our $15 minimum wage and theClimate Pledge. In both cases, we staked out leadership positions and then asked others to come along with us. In both cases, it’s working. Other large companies are coming our way. I hope you’re proud of that as well.”</p>\n<p>Natasha Lamb, managing partner at Arjuna Capital, a sustainable and impact investment firm focusing on workplace issues for women and people of color, disputes Bezos’ claim of being a leader in these two areas, saying that there was great pressure on the company to increase worker pay and to sign the climate pledge.</p>\n<p>“He is not the poster child of the American dream, but of what is eating America alive, which is growing inequality,” she says.</p>\n<p>Amazonincreasedthe minimum wage to $15 in 2018 after years of criticism that it mistreated and underpaid workers, and the company caughtflakfor what workers said were poor health conditions in the pandemic.

During the coronavirus, “everybody has become so reliant on Amazon, and those patterns are sticky. It has grave implications for small business.”</p>\n<p>Colonnelli says Amazon’s monopoly power can’t be denied and should be at the core of its ESG considerations. “It will be up to Jassy – and Bezos of course- to decide whether they want to be driving the change toward a business model that is less prone to anti-competitive practices, and therefore lead to a more equitable allocation of rents,” he says.</p>\n<p><b>A ‘real opportunity’ to be a leader</b></p>\n<p>Behar says As You Sow has interviewed Amazon employees and says the company has a “real opportunity” to be a leader on human capital management, such as increasing hourly employee wages, improving health care benefits, especially during the pandemic, and paid leave, as well as improving efforts around diversity equity inclusion.</p>\n<p>Lamb says with a new CEO coming on board, she wants greater clarity about defining gender and racial pay equity and to address diversity as a whole, noting that there are very few women and people of color in the company’s upper ranks. She says other shareholders are asking for a racial equity audit and for a worker representative on the board of directors, “which I think would be helpful.”</p>\n<p><b>Climate inroads</b></p>\n<p>When it comes to its climate pledge, Amazon is making some inroads. BloombergNEF said Amazon was the leading corporate buyer of clean energy in 2020, signing 35 separate clean energy power-purchasing agreements, totaling 5.1 gigawatts of power. BNEF says Amazon has now purchased over 7.5GW of clean energy to date, pushing it ahead of Alphabet GOOGL at 6.6GW and Facebook FB at 5.9GW as the world’s largest clean-energy buyer.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f08942b5eaf8d39eb7fe60ce0ba75c91\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"432\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Garvin Jabush, chief investment officer at Green Alpha Advisors, says Amazon’s investments in renewable energy and its $440 million&nbsp;investment&nbsp;in electric-truck start up Rivian are all impressive starts, but the company has a long way to go.</p>\n<p>Green Alpha Advisors doesn’t own Amazon because Jabush says it is still a large contributor to climate risk; he noted the company saw a 15% increase in carbon dioxide&nbsp;emissions&nbsp;in 2019.

But with a new CEO, there’s an opportunity for change, Jabush says, pointing to how Tim Cook changed Apple after taking over from Steve Jobs.\n“Sustainability was low on their priority list, and Tim Cook has made Apple into by far the most sustainable megacap in the world right now,” he says.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":243,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":319410380,"gmtCreate":1611593331940,"gmtModify":1704861288796,"author":{"id":"3574683000108505","authorId":"3574683000108505","name":"ELELEL","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ebe6dbb2a89793b93d019af05d353924","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574683000108505","authorIdStr":"3574683000108505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good good good","listText":"Good good good","text":"Good good good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/319410380","repostId":"2106123984","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":374,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":319438154,"gmtCreate":1611592854578,"gmtModify":1704861281814,"author":{"id":"3574683000108505","authorId":"3574683000108505","name":"ELELEL","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ebe6dbb2a89793b93d019af05d353924","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574683000108505","authorIdStr":"3574683000108505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/319438154","repostId":"2105349950","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2105349950","kind":"highlight","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":1611573575,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2105349950?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-01-25 19:19","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Get ready for Apple's first $100 billion quarter in history","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2105349950","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Apple earnings preview: Successful iPhone 12 holiday sales are expected to help drive record revenue above milestone mark.
