During this bubble phase, Nvidia&#39;s stock hit an all-time high of around $350, trading at more than 100 times TTM non-GAAP EPS (approximately 40 times TTM sales). Then, the Fed pricked the ultra-high multiple bubble, and many stocks, including Nvidia, crashed.</p><p>I warned about the &#34;Epic Drop&#34; in my late-November article, and one of my prime examples of the coming crash was Nvidia. However, despite being one of the most shockingly overvalued stocks of its time, Nvidia&#39;s problems run much deeper than the typical temporary overvalued company.</p><p>Nvidia reported earnings in line with its preannounced figures but well below prior guidance and analysts&#39; estimates. Moreover, the company&#39;s guidance was disappointing. Nvidia is not only suffering from overvaluation problems and a challenging macroeconomic backdrop. The company has entered a severe decline phase, and the market is probably underestimating how serious the situation is for Nvidia.</p><p>The company faces several challenging headwinds to its top line, and its bottom line may continue deteriorating in the coming quarters. Therefore, we will probably see earnings estimates and EPS decrease more than anticipated. Meanwhile, the stock should attempt to find a base, but a reasonable entry price may be around $100-120.</p><p><b>The Bubble Days Are Over - More Downside Ahead</b><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f1f84840d4c1f577471f0d35df1f240\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"676\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>NVDA(StockCharts.com)</p><p>This is only a three-year chart of Nvidia. So, we see that before the recent decline phase Nvidia skyrocketed by nearly 10X in just around two years. So, what occurred in this time frame? Why did we see such remarkable demand for Nvidia stock?</p><p>We can point to several elements. Nvidia weathered the coronavirus slow down better than many other companies as much of its gaming business is related to gaming. Then, Nvidia received a post-coronavirus recovery boost as well. The company&#39;s revenues surged by 40-60% or more in many quarters in 2020/2021, and investors loved its performance and stock.</p><p>The insatiable demand pushed the stock to grossly overbought and ludicrously overvalued levels (roughly 40 times trailing sales). However, what was the true catalyst behind this move? The company claimed that it benefited from surging gaming-related revenues. However, earlier this year, Nvidia settled with the SECfor failing to disclose its cryptocurrency-related sales.</p><p>A significant portion of Nvidia&#39;s GPU sales went towards cryptocurrency mining. Unfortunately, we cannot know precisely how much of the GPU sales were cryptocurrency related as the company did not disclose the numbers. However, we know that Nvidia&#39;s GPUs were widely used in Ethereum and other cryptocurrency mining, but sadly for the company, these sales are ending.</p><p><b>The End Of An Era</b></p><p>Nvidia&#39;s revenues benefited greatly from surging Ethereum and other cryptocurrency-related sales. When we look at Nvidia&#39;s surging sales in 2020/2021, this time frame coincides with the significant bull market in Ethereum and other digital assets. However, now the company is reporting sharp drops in sales. Nvidia&#39;s cryptocurrency mining processor (&#34;CMP&#34;) sales were down by66% YoY to just $140 million last quarter. While the company has a CMP GPU line dedicated to cryptocurrency mining, some of its gaming GPUs also went to cryptocurrency miners.</p><p>The massive problem Nvidia faces now is Ethereum&#39;s pivot away from GPU mining. Ethereum has been the driver of cryptocurrency-related mining GPU sales in recent years. However, Ethereum is moving away from intensive GPU mining, and the switch from proof-of-work to the proof-of-stake protocol should be complete soon.</p><p>Proof-of-stake is far less intensive and requires nothing near the computing power of proof-of-work. Therefore, the Ethereum network will not need a growing number of GPUs. On the contrary, as we advance, there will probably be a remarkably high number of unneeded GPUs.</p><p>Another reason why Nvidia&#39;s revenues spiked so rapidly was the GPU shortage. You&#39;d be lucky to get a quality GPU at MSRPin 2020/2021. Due to the GPU shortage, Nvidia&#39;s graphic cards could sell for two times MSRP or higher in many cases throughout this time frame. Naturally, this phenomenon significantly contributed to the company&#39;s skyrocketing revenues. We can presume that this dynamic occurred partially due to the substantial demand from the cryptocurrency segment.</p><p><b>What We Are Left With Now</b></p><p>Ethereum is moving away from GPU mining. Bitcoin and other digital assets rely more on ASIC miners over GPUs. We see Nvidia&#39;s CMP GPU sales are crashing, and general &#34;gaming&#34; revenues have declined by 33%YoY. Therefore, Nvidia faces a severe problem. A substantial portion of the company&#39;s gains may be gone permanently.</p><p>Additionally, Nvidia will no longer benefit from the cryptocurrency segment&#39;s growth. Moreover, the company will no longer benefit from the surging GPU prices it saw in 2020/2021. Instead, Nvidia faces the problem of cheaper GPUs, lower margins, and worsening profitability as the company moves forward.</p><p><b>Nvidia RTX 3080 Price Decline</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/25c65b3c0628b532f5748f8d4c917726\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"291\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Nvidia RTX 3080(the verge.com )</p><p>We&#39;ve seen a price drop of about 65% for Nvidia&#39;s RTX 3080 GPU since the price peaked last year. This image captures Nvidia&#39;s GPU market and the company&#39;s problem. We will probably see prices stabilize and possibly move up marginally. However, we will not likely see significant price rises any time soon. After years of shortages, the market is oversaturated with Nvidia&#39;s GPUs. We are now seeing the opposite effect and probably have not yet seen the full impact of the oversupply. We must consider that unwanted mining GPUs could further flood the market, exacerbating the supply/demand issue.</p><p><b>We See It In The Results</b><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1d7cfe94a82a2e7b2f943115d8e70bcc\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"166\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Nvidia 8-K(investor.nvidia.com)</p><p>Nvidia&#39;s Q2 results were shockingly poor, and &#34;challenging macroeconomic conditions&#34; do not justify a 19% QoQ revenue drop. Less than one year ago, Nvidia was valued at more than 100 times trailing earnings and now sees YoY growth of just 3% YoY. Moreover, despite only a 3% revenue gain, the company&#39;s operating expenses surged by 36% YoY. Therefore, we see gross margins down substantially, operating income down by 80%, and net income down by 72%.</p><p><b>Now, Let&#39;s Check the Guidance</b><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/886574b4a6331498106528a2834f5675\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"196\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Nvidia Q3 guidance(investor.nvidia.com)</p><p>The company guided to just $5.9 billion in revenues for Q3, 15% below the consensus forecast of$6.95 billion. $5.9 billion will be the company&#39;s second consecutive QoQ decline, equating to a YoY drop of 17%. Additionally, the company guided GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins of 62.4% and 65%. However, such a substantial rebound in gross margin will be challenging to achieve, and the company may report gross margins closer to 45-50%, substantially worse than its forecasts. Nvidia&#39;s GPU segment may continue struggling, leading to lower profitability and a worsening long-term image for the company.</p><p><b>Valuation - Still Too High</b></p><p>Nvidia has gone through a severe repricing phase.

However, this figure seems too high, cannot be trusted, and will likely get revised lower. Nevertheless, even if we apply the $5.46 EPS estimates, we still arrive at a P/E of more than 30 for Nvidia. Over thirty times questionable projected earnings is a high price for a company facing significant top and bottom line pressures and will probably see more earnings estimate declines.</p><p>I anticipate that Nvidia could earn towards the lower end of current estimates, roughly $4 in EPS in fiscal 2024. Also, Nvidia deserves a lower P/E multiple due to poor performance and uncertainty. I&#39;m comfortable with a forward P/E of 25-30 on a projected EPS of $4 for next year. This dynamic brings us to a buy-in price target of $100-120. In this range, Nvidia becomes a buy, but now at $170, the stock is a sell in my view. I will revisit this stock in the $100-120 range. Until then, there are better stocks to buy.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Nvidia Stock: Get Out Now</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nNvidia Stock: Get Out Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-26 11:58 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4537078-nvidia-get-out-now?source=content_type%3Areact%7Cfirst_level_url%3Ahome%7Csection%3Aportfolio%7Csection_asset%3Aheadlines%7Cline%3A5><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryNvidia reported horrible Q2 numbers and provided disappointing guidance for the next quarter.However, with cryptocurrency mining GPU demand in deep decline, Nvidia's problems could last longer ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4537078-nvidia-get-out-now?source=content_type%3Areact%7Cfirst_level_url%3Ahome%7Csection%3Aportfolio%7Csection_asset%3Aheadlines%7Cline%3A5\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NVDA":"英伟达"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4537078-nvidia-get-out-now?source=content_type%3Areact%7Cfirst_level_url%3Ahome%7Csection%3Aportfolio%7Csection_asset%3Aheadlines%7Cline%3A5","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1130817581","content_text":"SummaryNvidia reported horrible Q2 numbers and provided disappointing guidance for the next quarter.However, with cryptocurrency mining GPU demand in deep decline, Nvidia's problems could last longer than a few quarters.Nvidia's valuation is still high, and earnings estimates should see more downward revisions.I'm comfortable about revisiting this stock in the $100-120 range, but for now, Nvidia is a sell.NVIDIA Corporation's (NASDAQ:NVDA) market cap reached an absurd high of more than $800 billion during the tech-top in November 2021. During this bubble phase, Nvidia's stock hit an all-time high of around $350, trading at more than 100 times TTM non-GAAP EPS (approximately 40 times TTM sales). Then, the Fed pricked the ultra-high multiple bubble, and many stocks, including Nvidia, crashed.I warned about the \"Epic Drop\" in my late-November article, and one of my prime examples of the coming crash was Nvidia. However, despite being one of the most shockingly overvalued stocks of its time, Nvidia's problems run much deeper than the typical temporary overvalued company.Nvidia reported earnings in line with its preannounced figures but well below prior guidance and analysts' estimates. Moreover, the company's guidance was disappointing. Nvidia is not only suffering from overvaluation problems and a challenging macroeconomic backdrop. The company has entered a severe decline phase, and the market is probably underestimating how serious the situation is for Nvidia.The company faces several challenging headwinds to its top line, and its bottom line may continue deteriorating in the coming quarters. Therefore, we will probably see earnings estimates and EPS decrease more than anticipated. Meanwhile, the stock should attempt to find a base, but a reasonable entry price may be around $100-120.The Bubble Days Are Over - More Downside AheadNVDA(StockCharts.com)This is only a three-year chart of Nvidia. So, we see that before the recent decline phase Nvidia skyrocketed by nearly 10X in just around two years. So, what occurred in this time frame? Why did we see such remarkable demand for Nvidia stock?We can point to several elements. Nvidia weathered the coronavirus slow down better than many other companies as much of its gaming business is related to gaming. Then, Nvidia received a post-coronavirus recovery boost as well. The company's revenues surged by 40-60% or more in many quarters in 2020/2021, and investors loved its performance and stock.The insatiable demand pushed the stock to grossly overbought and ludicrously overvalued levels (roughly 40 times trailing sales). However, what was the true catalyst behind this move? The company claimed that it benefited from surging gaming-related revenues. However, earlier this year, Nvidia settled with the SECfor failing to disclose its cryptocurrency-related sales.A significant portion of Nvidia's GPU sales went towards cryptocurrency mining. Unfortunately, we cannot know precisely how much of the GPU sales were cryptocurrency related as the company did not disclose the numbers. However, we know that Nvidia's GPUs were widely used in Ethereum and other cryptocurrency mining, but sadly for the company, these sales are ending.The End Of An EraNvidia's revenues benefited greatly from surging Ethereum and other cryptocurrency-related sales. When we look at Nvidia's surging sales in 2020/2021, this time frame coincides with the significant bull market in Ethereum and other digital assets. However, now the company is reporting sharp drops in sales. Nvidia's cryptocurrency mining processor (\"CMP\") sales were down by66% YoY to just $140 million last quarter. While the company has a CMP GPU line dedicated to cryptocurrency mining, some of its gaming GPUs also went to cryptocurrency miners.The massive problem Nvidia faces now is Ethereum's pivot away from GPU mining. Ethereum has been the driver of cryptocurrency-related mining GPU sales in recent years. However, Ethereum is moving away from intensive GPU mining, and the switch from proof-of-work to the proof-of-stake protocol should be complete soon.Proof-of-stake is far less intensive and requires nothing near the computing power of proof-of-work. Therefore, the Ethereum network will not need a growing number of GPUs. On the contrary, as we advance, there will probably be a remarkably high number of unneeded GPUs.Another reason why Nvidia's revenues spiked so rapidly was the GPU shortage. You'd be lucky to get a quality GPU at MSRPin 2020/2021. Due to the GPU shortage, Nvidia's graphic cards could sell for two times MSRP or higher in many cases throughout this time frame. Naturally, this phenomenon significantly contributed to the company's skyrocketing revenues. We can presume that this dynamic occurred partially due to the substantial demand from the cryptocurrency segment.What We Are Left With NowEthereum is moving away from GPU mining. Bitcoin and other digital assets rely more on ASIC miners over GPUs. We see Nvidia's CMP GPU sales are crashing, and general \"gaming\" revenues have declined by 33%YoY. Therefore, Nvidia faces a severe problem. A substantial portion of the company's gains may be gone permanently.Additionally, Nvidia will no longer benefit from the cryptocurrency segment's growth. Moreover, the company will no longer benefit from the surging GPU prices it saw in 2020/2021. Instead, Nvidia faces the problem of cheaper GPUs, lower margins, and worsening profitability as the company moves forward.Nvidia RTX 3080 Price DeclineNvidia RTX 3080(the verge.com )We've seen a price drop of about 65% for Nvidia's RTX 3080 GPU since the price peaked last year. This image captures Nvidia's GPU market and the company's problem. We will probably see prices stabilize and possibly move up marginally. However, we will not likely see significant price rises any time soon. After years of shortages, the market is oversaturated with Nvidia's GPUs. We are now seeing the opposite effect and probably have not yet seen the full impact of the oversupply. We must consider that unwanted mining GPUs could further flood the market, exacerbating the supply/demand issue.We See It In The ResultsNvidia 8-K(investor.nvidia.com)Nvidia's Q2 results were shockingly poor, and \"challenging macroeconomic conditions\" do not justify a 19% QoQ revenue drop. Less than one year ago, Nvidia was valued at more than 100 times trailing earnings and now sees YoY growth of just 3% YoY. Moreover, despite only a 3% revenue gain, the company's operating expenses surged by 36% YoY. Therefore, we see gross margins down substantially, operating income down by 80%, and net income down by 72%.Now, Let's Check the GuidanceNvidia Q3 guidance(investor.nvidia.com)The company guided to just $5.9 billion in revenues for Q3, 15% below the consensus forecast of$6.95 billion. $5.9 billion will be the company's second consecutive QoQ decline, equating to a YoY drop of 17%. Additionally, the company guided GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins of 62.4% and 65%. However, such a substantial rebound in gross margin will be challenging to achieve, and the company may report gross margins closer to 45-50%, substantially worse than its forecasts. Nvidia's GPU segment may continue struggling, leading to lower profitability and a worsening long-term image for the company.Valuation - Still Too HighNvidia has gone through a severe repricing phase. While the stock is not trading near 100 times TTM earnings, it's still expensive. Also, we must consider that the market began revising Nvidia's earnings lower and may not be done.EPS RevisionsEPS revisions(SeekingAlpha.com )We see that the EPS forecast trend is lower here. However, considering that Nvidia recently came out with a horrible preannouncement and even more recently provided disappointing guidance, estimates should still go lower. Furthermore, EPS estimates may be too optimistic, as it is unclear whether Nvidia will have such impressive EPS growth in future years.EPS EstimatesEPS estimates(SeekingAlpha.com)One factor seems clear.

Moreover, if it does not occur, then it will take many years before Nvidia returns to its all-time highs, all that provided that the company retains its industry leadership.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":574,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9064769929,"gmtCreate":1652370558962,"gmtModify":1676535087386,"author":{"id":"3574715322913604","authorId":"3574715322913604","name":"Basketrif","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47bde0946b4de3845bcba22c002e0cfd","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574715322913604","authorIdStr":"3574715322913604"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"A very clear direction and future plan","listText":"A very clear direction and future plan","text":"A very clear direction and future plan","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9064769929","repostId":"2234970843","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2234970843","pubTimestamp":1652369460,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2234970843?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-12 23:31","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Demand Brands CEO Letter to Shareholders and the Year Ahead","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2234970843","media":"StreetInsider","summary":"WATSONVILLE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 12, 2022 / Pacific Technologies Group, Inc. AKA Demand Brands, In","content":"<html><body><div>\n<p><span><strong>WATSONVILLE, CA</strong> / <strong>ACCESSWIRE / May 12, 2022 / </strong>Pacific Technologies Group, Inc. AKA Demand Brands, Inc. (OTC PINK:DMAN), (\"Company\" or \"DB\") </span><span>http://dman.co</span><span>, a leading vertically integrated cannabis company, is pleased to publish this Letter from its CEO to its Shareholders.</span></p><p><strong>TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:</strong></p><p>Demand Brands passed a major milestone in Q1 of this year: the Company acquired CF3 SPV 1, LLC, a fully vertically integrated cannabis business (\"CF3\"). This acquisition defines the path forward to achieve increased value for our shareholders: Vertical Integration / Innovation / Optimization \"VIO\". This game plan is now coming to fruition. The acquired businesses collectively generated a revenue of $4.1 million and $1.4 million in adjusted EBITDA in 2020 &amp; 2021, respectively, based on CF3's unaudited financials.</p><p>I was part of the team that built Viridi Farms, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CF3. Viridi Farms started in 2017 with zero SF under management. Today Viridi manages smart farms for enterprises with 236K SF of cultivation, processing, and nursery management. In 2020, Dawn R. Loos, your Chief Compliance Officer, Kevin Sparks, your Chief Operating Officer, and I spearheaded a brand &amp; supply management venture, which yielded $24M in revenue and 11% in adjusted EBITDA margin in its first year of operations. This translated into 198% return on investment. By 2021, our real estate portfolio had grown to over 200K SF. We took that opportunity to build a cannabis real estate holdings segment within our business by creating Zenith Land Management LLC, a real estate holding company. Viridi Farms transferred our real estate leasehold interests from Viridi Farms to Zenith Land Management.</p><p>At the end of 2021, CF3 acquired Viridi Farms and Zenith Land Management. CF3 appointed us as the DB management team to build a brand and supply management segment by (i) leveraging our network of 120 retail locations and 5 wholesale distributors, and (ii) directing acquisitions of retail brands.</p><p>CF3 also controls the exclusive rights to the intellectual property for MBX Research's patented crop protection and cultivation of microbial nutrients. The technology has proven to increase yield by up to 30% and increase THC levels to up to 33%. MBX Research partnership has increased the value proposition of Viridi's partner enterprises.</p><p>We are a bold but prudent team with over 150 years of combined industry experience across the entire soil to sale process. As shareholders, you are now invested in a vertical integration play (with real estate in mind) driven by aggressive growth plans to venture outside of the traditional cannabis business plan in search of innovation and cutting-edge technologies that will define the next generation of cannabis business.</p><p>The reverse merger between CF3 and Demand Brands was a strategic decision that paves the path forward for DB. Greater access to capital markets through the public markets and the ability to do 100% stock acquisitions are the key drivers of our growth plan. 2021 was a year of notable organic growth in our business segments, and to build on that momentum, we have assembled a pipeline of 5 targeted acquisitions. Through such acquisitions, Demand will become a multi-state operator with 1M+ SF under management, grow our brand &amp; supply management volume to 180k lbs. of premium cannabis annually, and expand our portfolio of retail brands. Our aggressive expansion plans require aggressive financing, which entails significant risk, but public markets bolster our path to achieving our goals.</p><p>I joined Demand Brands because of my optimism and excitement for the long-term value we can generate together. I hope to generate the same enthusiasm for our shareholders. The information provided in this letter will give clarity, address any shareholder concerns, and emphasize the path forward, so that you can assess the alignment of our vision and values with yours.</p><p>With the delivery of the valuation report <u>released this morning,</u> CF3 has satisfied all conditions to close the acquisition of CF3 by DB.</p><p>Contrarily, the completion of CF3 audited financial statements was not a condition for closing. On January 12, 2022, the Company announced that it had engaged EisnerAmper to provide accounting services in connection with its acquisition of CF3 and to determine its final valuation. The Company was in early-stage open discussions with several auditors including EisnerAmper. The Company did not formally engage them. CF3 duly retained Stanton Park Advisors to conduct the required third-party valuation, <u>which they delivered to Demand Brands</u><span>. </span>The valuation report indicates a <strong>fair market value of $390,808,000</strong> for CF3.</p><p>As to the long-term engagement with any accounting firm for Demand Brands, the most important consideration is to find a veteran cannabis accounting firm. We have a list of candidates with whom we are in late-stage discussions and will share more information with you soon. Upon completion of the audit, we plan to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to become a reporting issuer and file for an uplist to the OTC senior boards.</p><p>Our shareholders have supported the Company through the years, long before its acquisition of CF3, and we fully appreciate and respect that. Hence, we have established strict protocols across the company, especially for accounting and investor relations. From this day forward, all communication will be complete and accurate. The acquisition of CF3 brings a full suite of corporate leadership professionals to Demand Brands. Three members of our corporate leadership, (including myself, Dawn R. Loos, and Kevin Sparks) are legacy members of CF3, and Ankur Chhapolika, your Chief Financial Officer, and Ankit Jain, your Chief Accounting Officer bring substantial experience in public company management. To show our commitment to the fiscal health of the Company, our compensation is heavily skewed towards stock options tied to the company's growth milestones as opposed to cash. Our new mission as well as our values are part of a carefully curated plan to achieve the daunting milestones ahead. As I have said publicly before, I am compelled to remind you and the team that <i>Demand Brands is the warrior of the new era of cannabis consolidation resulting from a decade of industry transformation </i>and we will not stop at anything to build Demand Brands into an industry leader.</p><p>Please note that in Q1 of this year, the team was primarily focused on the private to public transition, rebranding campaign, capital raise, and setting up our public compliance and accounting protocols. As such, the financial results of CF3 for Q1 2022 will not be indicative of our true operational performance. With our transition into Demand Brands now complete, we are excited to produce financial results for our shareholders that reflect the true potential of our vertically integrated platform. Discussions are ongoing with long-term capital partners. We hope to update you soon with more exciting news.</p><p><strong>OUR GOALS FOR 2022 AND BEYOND:</strong></p><p>We are building a company that is here to stay. Our business plan is driven by <strong>long-term</strong> growth milestones. Today, we capture value at each stage of the complete soil to sale process. We strive every day for even superior optimization through vertical integration and innovation. We are on a mission to establish leadership in today's fragmented market through the integration of our business segments that perform in unison and fuel each other's growth and expansion plans, organically and through synergistic M&amp;A.</p><p>Our Management Consulting sector provides a full suite of operations &amp; management services to its cultivation, processing, and nursery management partners. They are generally small and medium enterprises looking for performative results they can derive from our vertically integrated capabilities. Our expertise ranges from proprietary cultivation and processing techniques to patented science &amp; technology solutions that improve efficiency, quality, and productivity at every stage of the soil to sale process. Utilizing superior underwriting intelligence gained through data analytics and years of operational experience we will prudently identify potential M&amp;A targets. .</p><p>Our real estate division (\"Soil\") achieves backward vertical integration: we lease properties to businesses, in the cannabis cultivation, processing, and nursery sectors.</p><p>Through our brand &amp; supply management division (\"Sale\"), we offer marketing, product quality, &amp; supply management for growers, retailers &amp; ancillary cannabis businesses. Our supply agreement with Sun Supply, LLC, will lock down management of an estimated 180k lbs. of premium cannabis supply per annum, starting Q1 2024, yielding more than $200M in revenue per annum.</p><p>Our definition of success is <i>to win the race for the most robust, most profitable &amp; the most socially equitable cannabis company which optimizes the soil to sale process through diverse partnerships &amp; acquisitions and fully unlocks the potential for exponential growth in the cannabis industry</i>.</p><p>Our focus on long-term growth compels us to make bold investment decisions. We will continue to share with you the strategic thought process behind our choices so that your viewpoint is always incorporated into our long-term leadership investment decisions. I am pleased to share our core investment ethos with you:</p><ul><li>We will continue to focus on long-term partnerships with synergistic small and medium cannabis enterprises that show promise for long-term growth.</li><li>We will continue to invest in our in-house science &amp; technology capabilities to further plant science, genetics, and patented technology solutions to improve efficiency, quality, and productivity at every stage of the soil to sale process while practicing good stewardship of the environment.</li><li>We will continue to acquire founder-run businesses for 100% stock (cashless) transactions to align new partners with our vision of long-term growth.</li><li>We will continue to prioritize cash reserves to fuel growth and expansion.</li><li>We will continue to advocate for the decriminalization of the industry for everyone and champion the voices of groups disproportionately affected by the war on drugs.</li><li>We will expand our real estate segment to achieve (i) forward vertical integration through the acquisition of retail locations and (ii) superior backward vertical integration through the acquisition of pharma grade facilities.</li><li>We will continue to grow our team with forward thinkers and outliers who are primarily compensated in stock options.</li></ul><p>Our investment philosophy is a deliberate <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> built upon a history of vetting, successful investment decisions, and long-standing partnerships. 2022 is off to a momentous start with the acquisition of CF3 which instantly propelled Demand Brands into a vertically integrated platform primed to establish leadership in today's fragmented cannabis market.</p><p>We thank you, our shareholders, and look forward to this journey together.</p><p><i><u>/s/ Andrew Colehower</u></i></p><p><strong>Andrew Colehower</strong>Chief Executive Officer,Demand Brands, Inc</p><p><span><strong>About Demand Brands</strong></span></p><p><span>Demand Brands is a publicly-traded company that has vertical integration, optimization, and innovation at the heart of its core strategy.

Lockdown was the only option when the virus spread initially, but with vaccines nearly everywhere, masks, social distancing, etc., there simply isn’t a need for that any longer.

In short, it is happening with operating leverage. That is the impact of rising revenue, along with stagnant or declining expenses. In practice, it means that each incremental dollar of revenue means a higher amount of profit per dollar of revenue, which is what you see above because the incremental revenue carries with it lower relative expenses. If we look at the company’s gross margins and SG&amp;A costs below, we can see this at work.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/235c19723a62ea20f74e0cb5d16f2f51\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"170\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>We can see that while gross margins have rebounded some, the real growth has come from declining SG&amp;A costs. Remember that it is the combination of these two factors that drives profitability, and right now, Alphabet has both going in the right direction.

This means higher revenue begets higher profits in a virtuous cycle, which is exactly what Alphabet has been able to do.</p>\n<p>If I’m right that ad spending will continue to grow due to a strengthening global economy, we should see more and more operating leverage for Alphabet as the quarters come and go. And the great news is that operating leverage for Alphabet has essentially limitless potential.

That’s the beauty of the business model, and why the stock continues to rise.</p>\n<p><b>Let’s value Alphabet stock</b></p>\n<p>Now, before we get to the actual valuation, let’s take a look at EPS revisions, which are plotted below.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/06a67e6104c6d1ff35dba38d9c29f11c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"289\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>We can see the overwhelming bullishness in these estimates, particularly in the past few months. Revisions have been coming in often and in big chunks higher, and for all years. What that means is that these gains are sustainable, not one-time boosts from the pandemic. In other words, Alphabet’s growth trajectory has been permanently improved, not temporarily. This is exactly the kind of behavior I want to see from a stock’s estimates because it supports higher valuations and higher share prices.</p>\n<p>Speaking of the valuation, that’s where it gets juicy for Alphabet. Below, we have the price to forward earnings for the past five years for some historical context.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c5f1e36c6e62741bfe00fffac533d904\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"192\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>Shares go today for 29X forward earnings, which is slightly above its historical average, but well below the peak set last year of 35X forward earnings. Keep in mind we’ve just seen that Alphabet’s profit margins are much better than they were a year ago – and continue to rise – while revenue is soaring. In other words, I think it’s pretty easy to make the argument that Alphabet is a much better company for investors today than it was when it was priced at 35X forward earnings, but goes for 29X. That makes the stock pretty cheap in my mind and just fuels the bullish argument for yet more highs.</p>\n<p>The bottom line is that this is one of the best companies in the world and will almost certainly remain that way for the foreseeable future. The chart looks like it is going higher, and the fundamental situation continues to improve as well. I don’t see anything that’s not to like here, and for that reason, you have to consider owning Alphabet.</p>","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>Alphabet Stock: Don't Miss Out This Time</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\">\nAlphabet Stock: Don't Miss Out This Time\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-20 09:34 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4456044-alphabet-dont-miss-out-this-time><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nGOOG is pulling back.\nI see this as a pause that refreshes, not the end of the uptrend.\nThe fundamental picture continues to improve and all signs point to more highs.\n\nSpencer Platt/Getty ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4456044-alphabet-dont-miss-out-this-time\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"GOOG":"谷歌","GOOGL":"谷歌A"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4456044-alphabet-dont-miss-out-this-time","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1109134681","content_text":"Summary\n\nGOOG is pulling back.\nI see this as a pause that refreshes, not the end of the uptrend.\nThe fundamental picture continues to improve and all signs point to more highs.\n\nSpencer Platt/Getty Images News\nBack in June, I said search legend Alphabet(GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL) was a buy before it broke out to new highs.

But first, here are the three main reasons why the group is “safer” now – and six names favored by the half-dozen sector experts I’ve talked with over the past several days.</p>\n<p><b>1. The wicked witch of cyclicality is dead</b></p>\n<p>“Demand in the chip sector was always boom and bust, driven by product cycles,” says David Winborne, a portfolio manager at Impax Asset Management. “<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FBNC\">First</a> PCs, then servers, then phones.” But now demand for chips has broadened across the economy so the secular growth story is more predictable, he says.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JE\">Just</a> look around you. Because of the increased “digitalization” of our lives and work, there’s greater diversity of end market demand from all angles. Think remote office services like <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZM\">Zoom</a>, online shopping, cloud services, electric vehicles, 5G phones, smart factories, big data computing and even washing machines, points out Hendi Susanto, a portfolio manager and tech analyst at Gabelli Funds who is bullish on the group.</p>\n<p>“There is no aspect of the modern digital economy that can function without semiconductors,” says Motley Fool chip sector analyst John Rotonti. “That means more chips going into everything. The long-term demand is there.”</p>\n<p>He’s not kidding. Chip sector revenue will double by 2030 to $1 trillion from $465 billion in 2020, predicts William&nbsp;Blair&nbsp;analyst Greg Scolaro.</p>\n<p>All of this means the widespread supply shortages you’ve been hearing about “likely won’t be cured until sometime late next year,” says <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BAC\">Bank of America</a> chip sector analyst Vivek Arya. “That’s not just our view, but <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> confirmed by a majority of large customers.”</p>\n<p><b>2. The players have consolidated</b></p>\n<p>All up and down the production chain, from design through the various types of equipment producers to manufacturing, industry players have consolidated down into what Rotonti calls “earned” duopolies or monopolies.</p>\n<p>In chip design software, you have Cadence Design Systems&nbsp;and Synopsys.In production equipment, companies dominate specialized niches like ASML&nbsp;in extreme ultraviolet lithography&nbsp;(EUV). Manufacturing is dominated by Taiwan Semiconductor&nbsp;and Samsung Electronics.</p>\n<p>These companies earned their niche or duopoly status by being the best at what they do. This makes them interesting for investors. The consolidation also means players behave more rationally in terms of pricing and production capacity, says Rotonti.</p>\n<p><b>3. Profitability has improved</b></p>\n<p>This more rational behavior, combined with cost cutting, means profitability is now much higher than it was historically. “The economics of chip making has improved massively over past few years,” says Winbourne. Cash flow or EBITDA margins are often now over 30% whereas a decade ago they were in the 20% range.</p>\n<p>This has implications for valuation. Though chip stocks trade at about a market multiple, they appear cheap because they are better companies, points out Lamar Villere, portfolio manager with Villere &amp; Co. “They are not trading at a frothy multiple.”</p>\n<p><b>The stocks to buy</b></p>\n<p>Here are six names favored by chip experts I recently checked in with.</p>\n<p><b>New management plays</b></p>\n<p>Though Peter Karazeris, a senior equity research analyst at Thrivent, has reasons to be cautious on the group (see below), he singles out two companies whose performance may get a boost because they are under new management: Qualcomm&nbsp;and ON Semiconductor.</p>\n<p>Both have solid profitability. Qualcomm was recently hit by one-off issues like bad weather in Texas that disrupted production, but the company has good exposure to the 5G phone trend. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ON\">ON Semiconductor</a> is expanding beyond phones into new areas like autos, industrial and the Internet of Things connected-device space.</p>\n<p><b>A data center and gaming play</b></p>\n<p>Karazeris also singles out Nvidia,which gets a continuing boost from its exposure to data center and gaming device chip demand — because of its superior design prowess.</p>\n<p><b>Design tool companies</b></p>\n<p>Speaking of design, when companies like Qualcomm and NVIDIA want to design chips, they turn to the design tools supplied by Cadence Design Systems and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNPS\">Synopsys</a>.</p>\n<p>Their software-based design tools help chip innovators create the blueprint for their chips, explains Rotonti at Motley Fool, who singles out these names. “They are not the fastest growers in the world, but they have good profit margins.” They also dominate the space.</p>\n<p><b>An EUV&nbsp;play</b></p>\n<p>To put those blueprints onto silicon in the early stages of chip production, companies like Taiwan Semiconductor and Samsung turn to ASML. Its machines use tiny bursts of light to stencil chip designs onto silicon wafers, in a process called extreme ultraviolet lithography. “No one else has figured out how to do it,” says Rotonti.</p>\n<p>In other words, it has a monopoly position in supplying machines that do this – which are necessary for any company that wants to make leading edge chips.</p>\n<p><b>Risks</b></p>\n<p>Here are some of the chief risks for chip sector investors to watch.</p>\n<p><b>Oversupply</b></p>\n<p>Chip production has become politicized. The U.S. wants more production at home so it is not vulnerable to disruptions in Chinese supply chains. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CAAS\">China</a> wants to make 70% of the chips it uses by 2025, up from 5% now, says Winborne.</p>\n<p>The upshot here is that there’s lots of government support to boost manufacturing – so there will be much more of it. The risk is oversupply at some point in the future. This might also create a pull forward in chip equipment purchases — leading to a lull down the road which could hurt sales and margin trends at equipment makers.</p>\n<p>Next, big tech companies like Alphabet,Apple&nbsp;and Ammazon.com&nbsp;are all doing their own chip design, which threatens specialized chip companies that do the same thing.</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QTM\">Quantum</a> computing</b></p>\n<p>Computers using chip designs based on quantum physics instead of traditional semiconductor architectures have superior performance, points out Scolaro at William Blair. “While it probably won’t become mainstream for at least another five years, quantum computing has the potential to transform everything from technology to healthcare.”</p>\n<p><b>A disturbing signal</b></p>\n<p>A blend of global purchasing managers (PMI) indexes peaked in April and then decelerated for three months. Meanwhile chip sales growth continued. Normally the two follow the same trend, points out Karazeris, who tracks this indicator at Thrivent. He chalks the divergence up to inventory building which is less sustainable than true end-market demand. So, he takes the divergence as a bearish signal for the chip sector.</p>\n<p>Another cautionary sign comes from the forecasted weakness in pricing for dynamic random-access memory&nbsp;(DRAM) chips. “These are typically things you see at tops of cycles not the bottoms,” says Karazeris.</p>\n<p>But it’s also possible the slowdown in the global PMI is more a reflection of chip shortages than a sign that the shortages aren’t real (and are just inventory building). “The divergence doesn’t necessarily mean that chip orders are going to roll over and die. It means chip manufacturing has to catch up,” says Leuthold economist and strategist Jim Paulsen.</p>\n<p>Ford,for example, just announced it had to curtail production because of chip shortages, not a shortfall in underlying demand.</p>\n<p>Paulsen predicts decent economic growth is sustainable because of factors like high savings rates, the rebound in employment and incomes as well as pent-up demand for big ticket items. If he’s right, the continued economic strength would support demand for all the products that use chips – including <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/F\">Ford</a> cars.</p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","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>Buy the pullback in chip stocks — and focus on these 6 companies for the long haul</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\">\nBuy the pullback in chip stocks — and focus on these 6 companies for the long haul\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-23 22:18 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/buy-the-pullback-in-chip-stocks-and-focus-on-these-6-companies-for-the-long-haul-11629468380?mod=home-page><strong>MarketWatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The iShares Semiconductor ETF is down over 6% from recent highs.\nISTOCKPHOTO\nIn the rolling correction that’s running through the stock market, chip makers have been hit harder than most.\nThe iShares ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/buy-the-pullback-in-chip-stocks-and-focus-on-these-6-companies-for-the-long-haul-11629468380?mod=home-page\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMZN":"亚马逊","TSM":"台积电","NVDA":"英伟达","ON":"安森美半导体","SOXX":"iShares费城交易所半导体ETF","GOOGL":"谷歌A","ASML":"阿斯麦","SNPS":"新思科技","AAPL":"苹果","QCOM":"高通","GOOG":"谷歌","CDNS":"铿腾电子","SSNLF":"三星电子"},"source_url":"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/buy-the-pullback-in-chip-stocks-and-focus-on-these-6-companies-for-the-long-haul-11629468380?mod=home-page","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1151608193","content_text":"The iShares Semiconductor ETF is down over 6% from recent highs.\nISTOCKPHOTO\nIn the rolling correction that’s running through the stock market, chip makers have been hit harder than most.\nThe iShares Semiconductor ETF is down over 6% from recent highs, compared to declines of 2% or less for the S&P 500,Nasdaq Composite and the Dow Jones Industrial Average.\nDoes that make chip stocks a buy?

Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai soared to $226 million in 2022, boosted by a triennial stock award valued at $218 million, dwarfing the compensation of many Silicon Valley peers. His pay compared with $6.3 million the prior year, when he didn’t receive the stock award, according to a filing from the Google parent company Friday. His salary has remained steady at $2 million the past three years.The stock award comes on a three-year schedule, and Pichai received a similarly sized package in 2019. That year, he was awarded $281 million.CEO compensation has become a particular touchy topic in the technology industry, especially after a wave of layoffs at Alphabet and other major companies. Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook slashed his 2023 pay after drawing ire for making $100 million each of the past two years.Pichai’s package put him well above other executives at Alphabet in 2022. Prabhakar Raghavan, the senior vice president of Google’s knowledge and information, and Philipp Schindler, chief business officer, both took in about $37 million. Chief Financial Officer Ruth Porat’s compensation was $24.5 million. Their stock grants are given out on an annual basis.In January, Alphabet started cutting about 12,000 jobs, or 6% of its global workforce, following months of other measures to reduce spending and set new priorities. The median total compensation for Alphabet employees was $279,802 in 2022, according to the filing. Pichai’s compensation was 808 times that amount. As part of his compensation package, Alphabet spent $5.94 million on personal security for Pichai, according to the filing.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":431,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":830211098,"gmtCreate":1629075193514,"gmtModify":1676529920860,"author":{"id":"3574715322913604","authorId":"3574715322913604","name":"Basketrif","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47bde0946b4de3845bcba22c002e0cfd","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574715322913604","authorIdStr":"3574715322913604"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Its a no brainer.

These three stocks fit the bill.","content":"<p>There are many ways to make money in the stock market. Every investor has their own style, different levels of risk tolerance, and diverse goals. But <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the easiest and most profitable ways to get rich on Wall Street is to follow in the footsteps of true masters such as Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham.</p>\n<p>It's elementary, really. First, identify companies with fantastic growth opportunities, sustainable business advantages over their rivals, and excellent management teams. Then, buy these stocks at reasonable prices. It's OK to overpay a bit if you have to. Quality doesn't always come cheap.</p>\n<p>Then, stick those shares under your proverbial pillow and get some undisturbed sleep. Do absolutely nothing for years or even decades. Companies with the qualities I listed a minute ago should be able to deliver solid returns for the long haul, unlocking the magic of compounding returns over very long periods.</p>\n<p>Even ardent growth investors with a high tolerance for market risk should have a handful of these surefire long-term bets in their portfolios. For example, my own collection of small-cap tickers, promising growth stocks, and the odd speculative bet is built around a solid core of long-term champions. Whatever happens to the rest of my real-world holdings, I don't lose a minute of sleep over these proven winners. The stocks mentioned below are firmly established members of that elite group.</p>\n<p>Read on to see why every investor should consider holding a few shares of <b>Roku</b> (NASDAQ:ROKU), <b>Alphabet</b> (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL), and <b>Walt Disney</b> (NYSE:DIS). All of these familiar names are poised to keep winning for many years to come, each in its own inimitable way.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d5102320568ff7a6b2fe0ee7c527c253\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Time is money. Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Roku: Modern entertainment in a nutshell</h2>\n<p>Streaming media is everywhere nowadays. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the mainstream adoption of digital entertainment services, and the health crisis struck just as every entertainment company on the planet seemed to be launching its own streaming platform.</p>\n<p>Roku benefits from all of this activity, being the global leader in media-streaming technologies. The company's service-agnostic philosophy does a couple of important things for Roku's long-term success. First, this company can be a huge winner no matter which content studio walks away with the trophy for having the most viewers in the end. Second, Roku's omnipresent nature in the set-top box and smart TV markets forces every new service to develop support for Roku's platform. These two qualities reinforce each other as time goes by, further cementing Roku's rock-solid growth trajectory.</p>\n<p>Streaming entertainment is here to stay. Roku has claimed the catbird seat for itself in this explosive growth market. It would take a massive effort by an established entertainment technology giant to dethrone Roku at this point. Most of those large-scale rivals are too deeply attached to their long-standing traditions to really go for it.</p>\n<p>For example, I would eat my shoe if <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL) ever decided to give equal support to every available streaming service and hardware device. The Apple TV app is only available for devices designed in Cupertino, and the Apple TV set-top box works best with the iTunes ecosystem. That's the exact opposite of Roku's agnostic attitude, and the main reason why I don't see Apple as a serious Roku competitor.</p>\n<p>A larger company could give up on promoting its in-house platform options and just buy Roku instead. However, Roku is trading at 208 times forward earnings or 210 times free cash flows. The company's enterprise value stands at a hefty $44.1 billion today. That's rich enough to make any tech giant think twice about putting together an acquisition offer, especially one with a buyout premium large enough to win the required shareholder vote. The lofty price tag is Roku's best takeover defense.</p>\n<p>This is one of those situations where a high price shouldn't deter you from picking up Roku shares. You get to own a premium business when you pay that premium price.</p>\n<p>So if you want to bet on the future of digital entertainment without worrying about the content production side of things, Roku is your best bet. This stock should deliver market-beating returns for the foreseeable future.</p>\n<h2>Alphabet: Throwing spaghetti at the wall for fun and profit</h2>\n<p>So far, almost all of Alphabet's success and financial gains have sprung from the Google-branded set of online search and advertising tools. In the recently reported second quarter of 2021, Google services and Google Cloud accounted for 99.2% of Alphabet's total sales. The remaining operations, under the \"other bets\" segment, also reported an operating loss of $1.1 billion, while the Google segments generated $8.1 billion in operating profits. It's all about the Big G.</p>\n<p>That won't always be the case, though.</p>\n<p>Google transformed into the conglomerate known as Alphabet exactly because the company knows that big changes are coming. Web browsers and ad-boosted websites will not always provide a stable revenue stream for Google. Mobile apps and the Android platform are ready to take over, but this too shall pass.</p>\n<p>And Alphabet is trying out a whole bunch of alternative business ideas. So far, the company is looking at ideas such as self-driving cars, high-speed internet services, advanced medical research, and next-generation agriculture development. One or several of those unconventional bets should stand ready to carry Alphabet's financial torch when the time comes. Or maybe we haven't even heard of Alphabet's best ideas yet.</p>\n<p>Nobody knows exactly where this train is going, but I'm OK with that. Alphabet is willing to keep throwing spaghetti at the wall until something really sticks, creating the foundation of whatever this company might become. Alphabet's ambitious moonshot projects generally strike me as wholesome ideas that could benefit humanity on a large scale -- and I would be happy to benefit from their potential success.</p>\n<p>That's why Alphabet will always hold a place in my investment portfolio. This company is ready and able to change with the times. That's one effective way to build a successful business for the ages.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/300a57a82684c9a313758e27f921ed5e\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"485\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>The winds of change are blowing. Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Disney: Always ready to turn on a dime</h2>\n<p>Finally, Disney's leaders are proving their willingness to try new ideas. The House of Mouse reorganized itself around streaming content last year, thumbing its nose at the traditional media industry to refocus on what's next. Its world-class theme parks are adapting to the restrictions of social distancing, putting together a positive third-quarter showing after several quarters of negative operating profits.</p>\n<p>This is the only old-school media studio I would consider owning nowadays. Unfortunately, Disney's sector peers often respond to changing market conditions by retreating into their shells to defend the operating procedures of old, and those efforts are mostly ineffective.</p>\n<p>For example, movie theater attendance has been falling for decades. Hollywood at large wanted to address this problem by raising ticket prices, which then resulted in even fewer ticket sales. In Disney's case, the company eventually fired up a serious media-streaming service packed with the company's legendary content, supported by a steady stream of brand new original material.</p>\n<p>Disney+ is the company's future in many ways, and you won't see CEO Bob Chapek or chairman Bob Iger complaining about that fact. Instead, they tweaked their company's operating structure to accelerate the transformation.</p>\n<p>I don't know where the entertainment and media markets are going in the long run, but I don't really have to.

Every investor has their own style, different levels of risk tolerance, and diverse goals. But one of the easiest and most profitable ways to get rich on Wall Street is to follow in the footsteps of true masters such as Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham.\nIt's elementary, really. First, identify companies with fantastic growth opportunities, sustainable business advantages over their rivals, and excellent management teams. Then, buy these stocks at reasonable prices. It's OK to overpay a bit if you have to. Quality doesn't always come cheap.\nThen, stick those shares under your proverbial pillow and get some undisturbed sleep. Do absolutely nothing for years or even decades. Companies with the qualities I listed a minute ago should be able to deliver solid returns for the long haul, unlocking the magic of compounding returns over very long periods.\nEven ardent growth investors with a high tolerance for market risk should have a handful of these surefire long-term bets in their portfolios. For example, my own collection of small-cap tickers, promising growth stocks, and the odd speculative bet is built around a solid core of long-term champions. Whatever happens to the rest of my real-world holdings, I don't lose a minute of sleep over these proven winners. The stocks mentioned below are firmly established members of that elite group.\nRead on to see why every investor should consider holding a few shares of Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL), and Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS). All of these familiar names are poised to keep winning for many years to come, each in its own inimitable way.\nTime is money. Image source: Getty Images.\nRoku: Modern entertainment in a nutshell\nStreaming media is everywhere nowadays. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the mainstream adoption of digital entertainment services, and the health crisis struck just as every entertainment company on the planet seemed to be launching its own streaming platform.\nRoku benefits from all of this activity, being the global leader in media-streaming technologies. The company's service-agnostic philosophy does a couple of important things for Roku's long-term success. First, this company can be a huge winner no matter which content studio walks away with the trophy for having the most viewers in the end. Second, Roku's omnipresent nature in the set-top box and smart TV markets forces every new service to develop support for Roku's platform. These two qualities reinforce each other as time goes by, further cementing Roku's rock-solid growth trajectory.\nStreaming entertainment is here to stay. Roku has claimed the catbird seat for itself in this explosive growth market. It would take a massive effort by an established entertainment technology giant to dethrone Roku at this point. Most of those large-scale rivals are too deeply attached to their long-standing traditions to really go for it.\nFor example, I would eat my shoe if Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) ever decided to give equal support to every available streaming service and hardware device. The Apple TV app is only available for devices designed in Cupertino, and the Apple TV set-top box works best with the iTunes ecosystem. That's the exact opposite of Roku's agnostic attitude, and the main reason why I don't see Apple as a serious Roku competitor.\nA larger company could give up on promoting its in-house platform options and just buy Roku instead. However, Roku is trading at 208 times forward earnings or 210 times free cash flows. The company's enterprise value stands at a hefty $44.1 billion today. That's rich enough to make any tech giant think twice about putting together an acquisition offer, especially one with a buyout premium large enough to win the required shareholder vote. The lofty price tag is Roku's best takeover defense.\nThis is one of those situations where a high price shouldn't deter you from picking up Roku shares. You get to own a premium business when you pay that premium price.\nSo if you want to bet on the future of digital entertainment without worrying about the content production side of things, Roku is your best bet. This stock should deliver market-beating returns for the foreseeable future.\nAlphabet: Throwing spaghetti at the wall for fun and profit\nSo far, almost all of Alphabet's success and financial gains have sprung from the Google-branded set of online search and advertising tools. In the recently reported second quarter of 2021, Google services and Google Cloud accounted for 99.2% of Alphabet's total sales. The remaining operations, under the \"other bets\" segment, also reported an operating loss of $1.1 billion, while the Google segments generated $8.1 billion in operating profits. It's all about the Big G.\nThat won't always be the case, though.\nGoogle transformed into the conglomerate known as Alphabet exactly because the company knows that big changes are coming. Web browsers and ad-boosted websites will not always provide a stable revenue stream for Google. Mobile apps and the Android platform are ready to take over, but this too shall pass.\nAnd Alphabet is trying out a whole bunch of alternative business ideas. So far, the company is looking at ideas such as self-driving cars, high-speed internet services, advanced medical research, and next-generation agriculture development. One or several of those unconventional bets should stand ready to carry Alphabet's financial torch when the time comes. Or maybe we haven't even heard of Alphabet's best ideas yet.\nNobody knows exactly where this train is going, but I'm OK with that. Alphabet is willing to keep throwing spaghetti at the wall until something really sticks, creating the foundation of whatever this company might become. Alphabet's ambitious moonshot projects generally strike me as wholesome ideas that could benefit humanity on a large scale -- and I would be happy to benefit from their potential success.\nThat's why Alphabet will always hold a place in my investment portfolio. This company is ready and able to change with the times. That's one effective way to build a successful business for the ages.\nThe winds of change are blowing. Image source: Getty Images.\nDisney: Always ready to turn on a dime\nFinally, Disney's leaders are proving their willingness to try new ideas. The House of Mouse reorganized itself around streaming content last year, thumbing its nose at the traditional media industry to refocus on what's next. Its world-class theme parks are adapting to the restrictions of social distancing, putting together a positive third-quarter showing after several quarters of negative operating profits.\nThis is the only old-school media studio I would consider owning nowadays. Unfortunately, Disney's sector peers often respond to changing market conditions by retreating into their shells to defend the operating procedures of old, and those efforts are mostly ineffective.\nFor example, movie theater attendance has been falling for decades. Hollywood at large wanted to address this problem by raising ticket prices, which then resulted in even fewer ticket sales. In Disney's case, the company eventually fired up a serious media-streaming service packed with the company's legendary content, supported by a steady stream of brand new original material.\nDisney+ is the company's future in many ways, and you won't see CEO Bob Chapek or chairman Bob Iger complaining about that fact. Instead, they tweaked their company's operating structure to accelerate the transformation.\nI don't know where the entertainment and media markets are going in the long run, but I don't really have to. I'm convinced that Disney will do whatever it takes to stay relevant and thriving in whatever market conditions might be around the bend. Again, I really like owning stocks tied to businesses that can and will change over time. Disney is another great example of this market-beating quality.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":40,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":812075749,"gmtCreate":1630544003781,"gmtModify":1676530334919,"author":{"id":"3574715322913604","authorId":"3574715322913604","name":"Basketrif","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47bde0946b4de3845bcba22c002e0cfd","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574715322913604","authorIdStr":"3574715322913604"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Adobe and boc!","listText":"Adobe and boc!","text":"Adobe and boc!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/812075749","repostId":"1102819430","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1102819430","pubTimestamp":1630543451,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1102819430?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-02 08:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Bank Buybacks Hit Record Propelling Stocks To All Time HIgh","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1102819430","media":"zerohedge","summary":"One week ago, when the S&P was suddenly finding itself sliding lower,we reportedthatSpotGamma,Nomura","content":"<p>One week ago, when the S&amp;P was suddenly finding itself sliding lower,we reportedthatSpotGamma,NomuraandMorgan Stanleyall warned that the S&amp;P was on the verge of a very painful drawdown if stocks dipped below the key 4,350 support level, at which point a selling wave could quickly pull the S&amp;P to 4,100 or lower.

Even if this does arrive on time, the company may have to handily beat current 2024 earnings expectations ($6.07 per share) for it to move the needle for the stock.Barring an unexpected twist, such as management implementing an aggressive cost reduction plan, and/or initiating a dividend, shares will likely continue to disappoint in 2023.The near-term remains murky, and long-term prospects are increasingly coming under threat by rising competition. There’s now more reason to sit on the sidelines with GOOG stock.GOOG stock earns a D rating in Portfolio Grader.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":450,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":860263877,"gmtCreate":1632183072399,"gmtModify":1676530718790,"author":{"id":"3574715322913604","authorId":"3574715322913604","name":"Basketrif","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47bde0946b4de3845bcba22c002e0cfd","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574715322913604","authorIdStr":"3574715322913604"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TIGR\">$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$</a>Short term catalyst","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TIGR\">$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$</a>Short term catalyst","text":"$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$Short term catalyst","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/13d451fe98531fe9cb25118027a50358","width":"1242","height":"1767"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/860263877","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":131,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":885179207,"gmtCreate":1631770922809,"gmtModify":1676530631267,"author":{"id":"3574715322913604","authorId":"3574715322913604","name":"Basketrif","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47bde0946b4de3845bcba22c002e0cfd","crmLevel":9,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574715322913604","authorIdStr":"3574715322913604"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Not its price.
