If you’ve seen the movie “Ready Player One,” you have a pretty good idea of what the metaverse is: Strap on a set of computerized glasses, and you’re transported into a digital universe where anything is possible.\nFacebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is the most bullish on the concept,announcing his plans earlier this month to pivot Facebook from a social media company to a metaverse company in the coming years.\nIt’s less clear how tech companies can profit off the metaverse concept.\nZuckerberg, his executive team and Wall Street analysts spent a lot of time on the company’s earnings call on Wednesday discussing the metaverse, how much it’ll cost Facebook to build and how Facebook plans to profit from it.\nIn fact, “metaverse” was mentioned 20 times on the hour-long call. There were 28 mentions of advertising, Facebook’s core business that brought in more than $28 billion in revenue for the quarter.\nHere’s the business case Zuckerberg and his team made for Facebook’s investment in the metaverse:\nFacebook will sell the hardware, but that’s not where the real money comes from.Zuckerberg said on the earnings call that Facebook’s goal is to sell its headsets as cheaply as possible and focus on making money through commerce and advertising within the metaverse itself.\n“Our business model isn’t going to primarily be around trying to sell devices at a large premium or anything like that because our mission is around serving as many people as possible,” Zuckerberg said on the earnings call. “So we want to make everything that we do as affordable as possible, so as many people as possible can get into it and then compounds the size of the digital economy inside it.”\nFacebook already runs Oculus, the virtual reality division of the company. Today, Oculus’ VR headsets are relatively limited in what they can do. But Facebook’s hope is to improve the technology so the headsets look more like a pair of Warby Parker glasses instead of a clunky helmet. According to Zuckerberg, the metaverse will only work if the hardware can provide the user a true sense of presence in the digital world.\nAdvertising will still play a role, but Facebook will focus on the sale of virtual goods.Zuckerberg said advertising in the metaverse will be “an important part” of Facebook’s strategy to profit off the metaverse, but he sounded more bullish on commerce in the digital world.\nMany consider some of today’s video games like Microsoft’s Minecraft, Roblox and Fortnite early versions of what a metaverse could be. Those free games make money by selling virtual goods to players. Zuckerberg hinted on the earnings call Facebook would copy that strategy to make money in its own metaverse, taking a slice of every transaction.\n“I think digital goods and creators are just going to be huge... in terms of people expressing themselves through their avatars, through digital clothing, through digital goods, the apps that they have, that they bring with them from place to place,” Zuckerberg said. “A lot of the metaverse experience is going to be around being able to teleport from one experience to another. So being able to basically have your digital goods and your inventory and bring them from place to place, that’s going to be a big investment that people make.”\nFacebook is spending billions per year on the metaverse.The company wouldn’t provide a specific figure, but didn’t shoot down one analyst’s estimation that the company is spending about $5 billion per year on metaverse-related development.\nA reality check: It’s going to take years for Zuckerberg’s plans to play out, if they even happen at all.Tech companies love futuristic concepts that aren’t fully baked yet, like artificial intelligence. The definitions of these terms tend to get blurry and move away from the original concept. (Real artificial intelligence does not exist yet, for example, no matter how many Big Tech executives pretend it does.)\nThere’s a real risk the metaverse concept will fall into that same trap. As more and more companies, especially those like Facebook and Microsoft, talk up their metaverse strategies in the near term, keep in mind we’re still several years (or more) away from it becoming a reality. The technology still hasn’t caught up to the promise, and it won’t any time soon.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":106,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":808673313,"gmtCreate":1627578667132,"gmtModify":1703492808737,"author":{"id":"3574737548619144","authorId":"3574737548619144","name":"Limzhiwang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/440e7893f09bfa047979330dfd51b475","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574737548619144","authorIdStr":"3574737548619144"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Grin] ","listText":"[Grin] ","text":"[Grin]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/808673313","repostId":"2155188411","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2155188411","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1627572637,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2155188411?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-29 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Reasons AMD Is a Buy After Q2 2021 Earnings","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2155188411","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Advanced Micro Devices is no longer an underdog; it's a leading chip designer gobbling up market share.","content":"<p><b>Advanced Micro Devices</b> (NASDAQ:<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">AMD</a>) transformation from also-ran chip company to dominant designer of next-gen computing hardware is complete. With an extensive suite of high-end products addressing all major needs from consumer to cloud, AMD is growing at a fast clip, generating a healthy profit margin, and further investing in itself so it can continue gobbling up market share in the industry.</p>\n<p>Second-quarter 2021 earnings were proof of this. With a big upgrade in its full-year outlook and the global chip shortage expected to last into 2022, here are three reasons AMD's stock is still a buy.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F635455%2Fsemiconductor-research-microchips.jpg&w=700&op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>1. Extra supply equated to a sales beat</h2>\n<p>AMD reported revenue of $3.85 billion in Q2, up 99% from a year ago and an acceleration from the 93% pace set in Q1. To be fair, the spring quarter was lapping the period during the first economic lockdowns in 2020 when sales were sparse. However, let's not take too much away from AMD. Semiconductor industry titan <b>Intel </b>was lapping a poor showing from a year ago too, but recently reported flat revenue in its Q2 2021.</p>\n<p>The $3.85 billion in sales actually beat CEO Dr. Lisa Su and the company's guidance provided a few months ago by $150 million. Su attributed part of the outperformance to AMD's ability to coax some extra supply from its chip fabrication partners during the last three-month period. More supply is expected to come online during the second half of 2021, but the global chip shortage will likely continue into 2022.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, AMD's Q2 beat and further advance on the supply side led Su and the top team to raise its outlook for full-year 2021 sales growth. Revenue is now expected to be up approximately 60% from 2020, compared to previous guidance for 50% growth.</p>\n<h2>2. Years of market share gains could lie ahead</h2>\n<p>The former underdog now has an advanced lineup of chips -- on many fronts, more advanced than the flagging Intel -- and as a result, reported yet another quarter of growth across its entire product line.</p>\n<p>During Q2, AMD said half of the world's newest and fastest supercomputers were powered by its EPYC data center CPUs (central processing units). <b>Alphabet</b>'s Google Cloud also announced big leaps in price-to-performance using EPYC CPUs versus peers, no doubt helping lead to the increased adoption of the chips in cloud computing and data centers. And on the consumer chip front, <b>Tesla</b> chose AMD hardware to power the infotainment system in the latest Model S and Model X.</p>\n<p>These market share gains could continue for some time at AMD. The company's next-gen products utilizing 5-nanometer architecture (the smallest and highest-performing chips) are coming in 2022 -- well ahead of the product roadmap at rival Intel.</p>\n<h2>3. AMD is now a highly profitable firm</h2>\n<p>As AMD's technology has improved and sales have gained, its profitability profile has also been significantly raised. In Q2 2021, operating profit margin was 22% -- helping it break from the below-industry average, single-digit percentage operating margin it was stuck in for years. Free cash flow generated in the quarter was $888 million.</p>\n<p>The implications of this are significant. AMD can now comfortably invest in itself from cash it generates, and go shopping with the excess when an opportunity arises. Take <b>Xilinx </b>(NASDAQ:XLNX), for example. The acquisition of the leading field-programmable gate array (FPGA) company will close by the end of this year and open up yet another front on which AMD can attack Intel. Adding Xilinx to the mix will also further boost AMD's profit margin and research and development capabilities.

With an extensive suite of high-end products addressing all major needs from consumer to cloud, AMD is growing at a fast clip, generating a healthy profit margin, and further investing in itself so it can continue gobbling up market share in the industry.\nSecond-quarter 2021 earnings were proof of this. With a big upgrade in its full-year outlook and the global chip shortage expected to last into 2022, here are three reasons AMD's stock is still a buy.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. Extra supply equated to a sales beat\nAMD reported revenue of $3.85 billion in Q2, up 99% from a year ago and an acceleration from the 93% pace set in Q1. To be fair, the spring quarter was lapping the period during the first economic lockdowns in 2020 when sales were sparse. However, let's not take too much away from AMD. Semiconductor industry titan Intel was lapping a poor showing from a year ago too, but recently reported flat revenue in its Q2 2021.\nThe $3.85 billion in sales actually beat CEO Dr. Lisa Su and the company's guidance provided a few months ago by $150 million. Su attributed part of the outperformance to AMD's ability to coax some extra supply from its chip fabrication partners during the last three-month period. More supply is expected to come online during the second half of 2021, but the global chip shortage will likely continue into 2022.\nNevertheless, AMD's Q2 beat and further advance on the supply side led Su and the top team to raise its outlook for full-year 2021 sales growth. Revenue is now expected to be up approximately 60% from 2020, compared to previous guidance for 50% growth.\n2. Years of market share gains could lie ahead\nThe former underdog now has an advanced lineup of chips -- on many fronts, more advanced than the flagging Intel -- and as a result, reported yet another quarter of growth across its entire product line.\nDuring Q2, AMD said half of the world's newest and fastest supercomputers were powered by its EPYC data center CPUs (central processing units). Alphabet's Google Cloud also announced big leaps in price-to-performance using EPYC CPUs versus peers, no doubt helping lead to the increased adoption of the chips in cloud computing and data centers. And on the consumer chip front, Tesla chose AMD hardware to power the infotainment system in the latest Model S and Model X.\nThese market share gains could continue for some time at AMD. The company's next-gen products utilizing 5-nanometer architecture (the smallest and highest-performing chips) are coming in 2022 -- well ahead of the product roadmap at rival Intel.\n3. AMD is now a highly profitable firm\nAs AMD's technology has improved and sales have gained, its profitability profile has also been significantly raised. In Q2 2021, operating profit margin was 22% -- helping it break from the below-industry average, single-digit percentage operating margin it was stuck in for years. Free cash flow generated in the quarter was $888 million.\nThe implications of this are significant. AMD can now comfortably invest in itself from cash it generates, and go shopping with the excess when an opportunity arises. Take Xilinx (NASDAQ:XLNX), for example. The acquisition of the leading field-programmable gate array (FPGA) company will close by the end of this year and open up yet another front on which AMD can attack Intel. Adding Xilinx to the mix will also further boost AMD's profit margin and research and development capabilities. This is a great match for the company and will position it for many more years of expansion.\nInvestor takeaway\nAMD's stock now trades for 46 times trailing-12-month free cash flow. Considering the growth it expects to generate on its own and the looming addition of Xilinx, shares look like a long-term value right now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":206,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":808988029,"gmtCreate":1627551085961,"gmtModify":1703492174997,"author":{"id":"3574737548619144","authorId":"3574737548619144","name":"Limzhiwang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/440e7893f09bfa047979330dfd51b475","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574737548619144","authorIdStr":"3574737548619144"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/808988029","repostId":"2154260889","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2154260889","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1627550183,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2154260889?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-29 17:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Growth Stocks to Buy for the Next Decade","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2154260889","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"As the world becomes more digital, the financial sector is subject to new innovations.

Paysafe is bringing its expertise in the global online gambling industry to America, and its timing could not be better.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":62,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":808989153,"gmtCreate":1627550957172,"gmtModify":1703492169956,"author":{"id":"3574737548619144","authorId":"3574737548619144","name":"Limzhiwang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/440e7893f09bfa047979330dfd51b475","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574737548619144","authorIdStr":"3574737548619144"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great ","listText":"Great ","text":"Great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/808989153","repostId":"2155990524","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2155990524","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1627549354,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2155990524?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-29 17:02","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"7 Stocks To Watch For July 29, 2021","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2155990524","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Some of the stocks that may grab investor focus today are:\n\tWall Street expects Mastercard Inc (NYSE: MA) to report quarterly earnings at $1.72 per share on revenue of $4.34 billion before the opening bell.

Extra supply equated to a sales beat</h2>\n<p>AMD reported revenue of $3.85 billion in Q2, up 99% from a year ago and an acceleration from the 93% pace set in Q1. To be fair, the spring quarter was lapping the period during the first economic lockdowns in 2020 when sales were sparse. However, let's not take too much away from AMD. Semiconductor industry titan <b>Intel </b>was lapping a poor showing from a year ago too, but recently reported flat revenue in its Q2 2021.</p>\n<p>The $3.85 billion in sales actually beat CEO Dr. Lisa Su and the company's guidance provided a few months ago by $150 million. Su attributed part of the outperformance to AMD's ability to coax some extra supply from its chip fabrication partners during the last three-month period. More supply is expected to come online during the second half of 2021, but the global chip shortage will likely continue into 2022.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, AMD's Q2 beat and further advance on the supply side led Su and the top team to raise its outlook for full-year 2021 sales growth. Revenue is now expected to be up approximately 60% from 2020, compared to previous guidance for 50% growth.</p>\n<h2>2. Years of market share gains could lie ahead</h2>\n<p>The former underdog now has an advanced lineup of chips -- on many fronts, more advanced than the flagging Intel -- and as a result, reported yet another quarter of growth across its entire product line.</p>\n<p>During Q2, AMD said half of the world's newest and fastest supercomputers were powered by its EPYC data center CPUs (central processing units). <b>Alphabet</b>'s Google Cloud also announced big leaps in price-to-performance using EPYC CPUs versus peers, no doubt helping lead to the increased adoption of the chips in cloud computing and data centers. And on the consumer chip front, <b>Tesla</b> chose AMD hardware to power the infotainment system in the latest Model S and Model X.</p>\n<p>These market share gains could continue for some time at AMD. The company's next-gen products utilizing 5-nanometer architecture (the smallest and highest-performing chips) are coming in 2022 -- well ahead of the product roadmap at rival Intel.</p>\n<h2>3. AMD is now a highly profitable firm</h2>\n<p>As AMD's technology has improved and sales have gained, its profitability profile has also been significantly raised. In Q2 2021, operating profit margin was 22% -- helping it break from the below-industry average, single-digit percentage operating margin it was stuck in for years. Free cash flow generated in the quarter was $888 million.</p>\n<p>The implications of this are significant. AMD can now comfortably invest in itself from cash it generates, and go shopping with the excess when an opportunity arises. Take <b>Xilinx </b>(NASDAQ:XLNX), for example. The acquisition of the leading field-programmable gate array (FPGA) company will close by the end of this year and open up yet another front on which AMD can attack Intel. Adding Xilinx to the mix will also further boost AMD's profit margin and research and development capabilities. This is a great match for the company and will position it for many more years of expansion.</p>\n<h2>Investor takeaway</h2>\n<p>AMD's stock now trades for 46 times trailing-12-month free cash flow. Considering the growth it expects to generate on its own and the looming addition of Xilinx, shares look like a long-term value right now.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Reasons AMD Is a Buy After Q2 2021 Earnings</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\">\n3 Reasons AMD Is a Buy After Q2 2021 Earnings\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-29 23:30 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/29/3-reasons-amd-is-a-buy-after-q2-2021-earnings/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) transformation from also-ran chip company to dominant designer of next-gen computing hardware is complete.

Adding Xilinx to the mix will also further boost AMD's profit margin and research and development capabilities. This is a great match for the company and will position it for many more years of expansion.\nInvestor takeaway\nAMD's stock now trades for 46 times trailing-12-month free cash flow. Considering the growth it expects to generate on its own and the looming addition of Xilinx, shares look like a long-term value right now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":206,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":808989153,"gmtCreate":1627550957172,"gmtModify":1703492169956,"author":{"id":"3574737548619144","authorId":"3574737548619144","name":"Limzhiwang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/440e7893f09bfa047979330dfd51b475","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574737548619144","authorIdStr":"3574737548619144"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great ","listText":"Great ","text":"Great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/808989153","repostId":"2155990524","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2155990524","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1627549354,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2155990524?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-29 17:02","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"7 Stocks To Watch For July 29, 2021","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2155990524","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Some of the stocks that may grab investor focus today are:\n\tWall Street expects Mastercard Inc (NYSE: MA) to report quarterly earnings at $1.72 per share on revenue of $4.34 billion before the opening bell.

These two companies are changing the game.","content":"<p>Banking is an entrenched industry. Money is loaned to borrowers through the assessment of their income and assets, with the bank earning an interest rate determined by the quality of that position -- and these fundamentals haven't changed all that much.</p>\n<p>But <b>Upstart Holdings </b>(NASDAQ:UPST) is using artificial intelligence to help banks take a different approach, reviewing alternative metrics of the borrower to lend more money with a similar level of risk. And on the payments side of finance, <b>Paysafe</b> (NYSE:PSFE) is leveraging a brand-new industry in the U.S. to grow its platform. The company facilitates payments for digital casinos, sports betting books, and the esports industry, known collectively as iGaming. The segment is injecting rapid growth into the company, and since it's only active in 15 states, there's plenty of potential for further expansion.</p>\n<h2>1. Upstart</h2>\n<p>Upstart is an all-digital lending platform that allows borrowers to apply through its website, and then routes the loan to <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of its banking partners. It also offers an application programming interface (API) to banks, allowing them to integrate Upstart's credit decisioning technology in their own application processes. Artificial intelligence (AI) is at the company's core, and the results speak for themselves: Upstart claims its model generates 173% more approvals at the same loss rate as traditional banks.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7fd2cd6ed2dbd0330be9ee49c048f446\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>The technology accounts for more than 1,000 data points, including nontraditional metrics like the borrower's level of education, where they went to school, and their employment history.</p>\n<p>The company began in the unsecured lending space, targeting personal loans, medical loans, and debt consolidation. Now it's expanding into vehicle finance, emphasized through its recent acquisition of Prodigy, which offers highly successful sales software to car dealerships. The goal is to use Prodigy as an entry point to this lucrative market, where consumers owe an estimated $1.3 trillion.</p>\n<p>Vehicle finance is the biggest lending market Upstart has operated in, and it speaks to the adaptability of its AI-powered decisioning process. The company projects full-year 2021 revenue of $600 million, and if it delivers, it would represent over 1,000% growth since 2017 -- much of which has occurred in the last year.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n <tr>\n <th><p>Metric</p></th>\n <th><p>2017</p></th>\n <th><p>2020</p></th>\n <th><p>2021 (Projected)</p></th>\n </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n <tr>\n <td><p>Revenue</p></td>\n <td><p>$57 million</p></td>\n <td><p>$233 million</p></td>\n <td><p>$600 million</p></td>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <td><p>Earnings (loss) per share</p></td>\n <td><p>($0.56)</p></td>\n <td><p>$0.00</p></td>\n <td><p>$0.62</p></td>\n </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: Upstart.</p>\n<p>Upstart is already profitable, which is rare for a young technology company operating in a complex industry. The downside is investors are paying a significant premium for the stock based on what we know right now.</p>\n<p>With a $9 billion market cap at recent prices, Upstart trades at 15 times projected revenue, but if the company continues to grow at the current pace, it could begin to look extremely cheap for investors with a five- to 10-year time horizon. Analysts estimate Upstart will generate $800 million in revenue in 2022, and that would drastically shrink the price-to-sales multiple.</p>\n<h2>2. Paysafe</h2>\n<p>Paysafe went public in late March via a merger with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BFT.U\">Foley Trasimene Acquisition II</a>, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). It's a payments company based in London that does most of its business outside of the U.S., but with the rapid growth in online gambling, that might be about to change.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b5515deb11ef4c8872508046fd098c33\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>Paysafe owns well-known brands like Skrill, a digital wallet provider that recently expanded into cryptocurrency, and Neteller, which is used to transfer money between consumers and merchants. Skrill recently announced a partnership with crypto exchange <b>Coinbase Global</b>, which is offering a white-label solution to Skrill that allows its customers to buy and sell different cryptocurrencies. The Skrill wallet has the option to set the base currency in either U.S. dollars or <b>Bitcoin</b>.</p>\n<p>The company's digital wallet and eCash segments comprised 55% of total revenue in the first quarter, and each primarily served the online gambling industry. Paysafe's overall revenue of $377 million in the first quarter represented just 5% growth compared to the same period last year, but there's a strong driver emerging from the U.S. expansion. The iGaming segment in America alone -- which is active in 15 states -- grew by 66%.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n <tr>\n <th><p>Metric</p></th>\n <th><p>2018</p></th>\n <th><p>2020</p></th>\n <th><p>2021 (Projected)</p></th>\n </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n <tr>\n <td><p>Revenue</p></td>\n <td><p>$1.14 billion</p></td>\n <td><p>$1.42 billion</p></td>\n <td><p>$1.54 billion</p></td>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <td><p>Earnings (loss) per share</p></td>\n <td><p>N/A*</p></td>\n <td><p>($1.01)</p></td>\n <td><p>$0.06</p></td>\n </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: Paysafe. *Undisclosed.</p>\n<p>Despite Paysafe making losses, analysts expect it will turn a profit this year.

Money is loaned to borrowers through the assessment of their income and assets, with the bank earning an interest rate determined by the quality of that position -- and these fundamentals haven't changed all that much.\nBut Upstart Holdings (NASDAQ:UPST) is using artificial intelligence to help banks take a different approach, reviewing alternative metrics of the borrower to lend more money with a similar level of risk. And on the payments side of finance, Paysafe (NYSE:PSFE) is leveraging a brand-new industry in the U.S. to grow its platform. The company facilitates payments for digital casinos, sports betting books, and the esports industry, known collectively as iGaming. The segment is injecting rapid growth into the company, and since it's only active in 15 states, there's plenty of potential for further expansion.\n1. Upstart\nUpstart is an all-digital lending platform that allows borrowers to apply through its website, and then routes the loan to one of its banking partners. It also offers an application programming interface (API) to banks, allowing them to integrate Upstart's credit decisioning technology in their own application processes. Artificial intelligence (AI) is at the company's core, and the results speak for themselves: Upstart claims its model generates 173% more approvals at the same loss rate as traditional banks.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nThe technology accounts for more than 1,000 data points, including nontraditional metrics like the borrower's level of education, where they went to school, and their employment history.\nThe company began in the unsecured lending space, targeting personal loans, medical loans, and debt consolidation. Now it's expanding into vehicle finance, emphasized through its recent acquisition of Prodigy, which offers highly successful sales software to car dealerships. The goal is to use Prodigy as an entry point to this lucrative market, where consumers owe an estimated $1.3 trillion.\nVehicle finance is the biggest lending market Upstart has operated in, and it speaks to the adaptability of its AI-powered decisioning process. The company projects full-year 2021 revenue of $600 million, and if it delivers, it would represent over 1,000% growth since 2017 -- much of which has occurred in the last year.\n\n\n\nMetric\n2017\n2020\n2021 (Projected)\n\n\n\n\nRevenue\n$57 million\n$233 million\n$600 million\n\n\nEarnings (loss) per share\n($0.56)\n$0.00\n$0.62\n\n\n\nData source: Upstart.\nUpstart is already profitable, which is rare for a young technology company operating in a complex industry. The downside is investors are paying a significant premium for the stock based on what we know right now.\nWith a $9 billion market cap at recent prices, Upstart trades at 15 times projected revenue, but if the company continues to grow at the current pace, it could begin to look extremely cheap for investors with a five- to 10-year time horizon. Analysts estimate Upstart will generate $800 million in revenue in 2022, and that would drastically shrink the price-to-sales multiple.\n2. Paysafe\nPaysafe went public in late March via a merger with Foley Trasimene Acquisition II, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). It's a payments company based in London that does most of its business outside of the U.S., but with the rapid growth in online gambling, that might be about to change.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nPaysafe owns well-known brands like Skrill, a digital wallet provider that recently expanded into cryptocurrency, and Neteller, which is used to transfer money between consumers and merchants. Skrill recently announced a partnership with crypto exchange Coinbase Global, which is offering a white-label solution to Skrill that allows its customers to buy and sell different cryptocurrencies. The Skrill wallet has the option to set the base currency in either U.S. dollars or Bitcoin.\nThe company's digital wallet and eCash segments comprised 55% of total revenue in the first quarter, and each primarily served the online gambling industry. Paysafe's overall revenue of $377 million in the first quarter represented just 5% growth compared to the same period last year, but there's a strong driver emerging from the U.S. expansion. The iGaming segment in America alone -- which is active in 15 states -- grew by 66%.\n\n\n\nMetric\n2018\n2020\n2021 (Projected)\n\n\n\n\nRevenue\n$1.14 billion\n$1.42 billion\n$1.54 billion\n\n\nEarnings (loss) per share\nN/A*\n($1.01)\n$0.06\n\n\n\nData source: Paysafe. *Undisclosed.\nDespite Paysafe making losses, analysts expect it will turn a profit this year. Revenue growth should come in at 8% for 2021, and then accelerate to 10% in 2022, according to estimates.\nThe stock recently traded at a $7.7 billion market cap, or 5 times sales, but it's also down more than 40% since its peak, so some investor exuberance has deflated. It could make for a great opportunity, given Paysafe expects the U.S. iGaming industry to grow to $47 billion in size by 2025, which is a 55% compound annual growth rate.\nThe company is well poised to capture some of that growth, particularly through a new partnership with Australian company PointsBet Holdings -- an ambitious $2.5 billion bookmaker that has turned its focus to the lucrative U.S. betting market. Paysafe is bringing its expertise in the global online gambling industry to America, and its timing could not be better.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":62,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
