two high-growth companies with different experiences on the stock market, which one should you buy?","content":"<p><b>Micron Technology</b> (NASDAQ:MU) and <b>Advanced Micro Devices</b> (NASDAQ:<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">AMD</a>) have been heading in different directions on the stock market so far in 2021. While memory specialist Micron has soared despite the sell-off in tech stocks, AMD's stock price has pulled back by double-digit percentages, despite solid indications that it will continue to grow at a rapid pace this year.</p>\n<p>However, when you take a closer look at the prospects of the two chipmakers, it's hard to choose <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> over the other, despite their divergent fortunes. Read on to find out which <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of these two stocks you should be buying right now.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fbfd905ed010528381751f26b237cc75\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\"><span>MU data by YCharts.</span></p>\n<h2>The case for Micron Technology</h2>\n<p>Micron Technology has taken advantage of the favorable supply-and-demand conditions in the memory market in the wake of the novel coronavirus pandemic. Supply disruptions and strong demand for memory chips have sent the prices of DRAM (dynamic random access memory) and NAND flash memory soaring, helping Micron turn its fortunes around over the past year.</p>\n<p>This tailwind has recently helped Micron deliver terrific results. The company's fiscal second-quarter revenue and earnings increased nicely year over year, and the company also delivered solid guidance. Micron's revenue shot up 30% year over year last quarter, and soaring memory prices sent the company's adjusted earnings to $0.98 per share from $0.45 per share in the year-ago period.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/25e53ee3d89962c26fe37ee2fc717861\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>Non-GAAP gross margin was up to 32.9% last quarter, an increase of 3.8 percentage points over the year-ago quarter. Micron is anticipating $7.1 billion in revenue this quarter, which would translate into 31% year-over-year growth. The company expects earnings of $1.62 per share this quarter, which would be nearly double the year-ago quarter's figure of $0.82 per share.</p>\n<p>Micron should be able to sustain this impressive momentum in the coming quarters as well, as the demand for memory chips is anticipated to grow faster than the supply. Micron estimates that the DRAM market will remain severely undersupplied in 2021, as supply growth won't be as strong as the bit demand growth of 20%. This isn't surprising, as DRAM manufacturers reportedly cut capital expenses by 20% in 2020, according&nbsp;to IC Insights.</p>\n<p>This bodes well for Micron, as the company gets 71% of its revenue from the DRAM space. However, Micron isn't very upbeat about the NAND market's prospects, pointing out that supply growth is going to exceed demand until there are capital expenditure cuts. But the overall picture appears to be bright, as the DRAM market should remain in strong shape for the remainder of the year and drive the bulk of Micron's growth.</p>\n<p>Memory market intelligence provider TrendForce expects PC DRAM contract prices to grow&nbsp;at a faster pace of 13%-18% in the second quarter after an increase of 3% to 8% in the first quarter. Server DRAM prices are also expected to clock 20% growth this quarter. Meanwhile, <b>UBS</b> analysts estimate that even NAND flash prices will continue to improve throughout the year, while the DRAM price growth shouldn't lose steam.</p>\n<p>So the stage seems set for Micron to keep delivering solid results as the year progresses.</p>\n<h2>The case for AMD</h2>\n<p>AMD is also set for a blockbuster year in 2021. It is sitting on several catalysts, ranging from PCs to servers to gaming consoles to graphics cards. But investors haven't shown much confidence in the stock, and the tech sell-off and positive developments at <b>Intel</b> have hamstrung AMD's stock market performance so far this year. But investors shouldn't write off this fast-growing chipmaker just yet.</p>\n<p>That's because AMD is unlikely to lose ground to Intel anytime soon, and could exit the year with a bigger share of the CPU market. For instance, Hans Mosesmann of Rosenblatt Securities projects AMD to corner half of the CPU market by the end of the year, compared to its 22.4% share at the end of the third quarter of 2020. What's more, AMD is enjoying stronger pricing power over Intel, indicating that the company could enjoy a combination of higher volumes and better pricing this year.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/44beed20dd3bd07dcaf901ecff73656b\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>On the other hand, AMD's data center prospects are looking up since the launch of its latest EPYC 7003 series processors, which are reportedly twice as fast as Intel's offerings, according to third-party tests. AMD could score huge financial gains in the data center market, as it is a much smaller player than Intel. And it seems well on its way to doing that, as several cloud service providers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have already lined up to buy the EPYC 7003 chips, including the likes of <b>Alphabet</b>'s Google, <b>Microsoft</b>, <b>Lenovo</b>, <b>Cisco</b>, <b>Dell Technologies</b>, and <b>Amazon</b>, among others.</p>\n<p>Finally, the gaming console market is going to be another big growth driver for AMD this year, as sales of the new PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles are expected to explode in the coming years. The good news for AMD is that <b>Sony</b> and Microsoft are finding it difficult&nbsp;to keep up with demand, indicating that the chipmaker's newly-found momentum in the enterprise, embedded, and semi-custom (EESC) business is here to stay.</p>\n<p>Such a broad range of catalysts explains why AMD has called for 37% revenue growth in 2021, and it expects its non-GAAP gross margin to expand by 2 percentage points over last year. However, don't be surprised to see AMD clock a faster growth rate if its market share gains against Intel continue and the console market gains more steam.</p>\n<h2>The verdict</h2>\n<p>Both AMD and Micron Technology are on track to record strong financial growth this year and beyond. However, there are a couple of factors that investors may want to look at before choosing one of these high flyers.</p>\n<p>Micron, for instance, plies its trade in a cyclical industry. Demand-supply dynamics play a critical role in the company's financial performance, and it is prone to huge crashes in revenue and earnings when memory prices head south. We have already seen that Micron is wary of elevated capital expenditure levels hurting the price of NAND flash memory. A similar scenario in the DRAM market could turn the tide against Micron, though the good news is that the industry's capital outlay is expected&nbsp;to either remain flat or decline over 2020.</p>\n<p>So even though Micron is a cheaper bet, with a trailing&nbsp;price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 32 compared to AMD's multiple of 38, there is an element of market risk involved that needs to be actively monitored. Also, it is worth noting that AMD is expected to grow at a faster&nbsp;pace than Micron in the ongoing&nbsp;fiscal year, so the former's premium seems justified.</p>\n<p>Finally, AMD is not operating in a cyclical industry and is taking away market share from a bigger rival. As such, AMD seems like the more prudent bet over Micron from a long-term perspective, though investors looking for a growth stock with momentum on its side may be enticed by the memory specialist.</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>Better Buy: Micron Technology vs. AMD</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\">\nBetter Buy: Micron Technology vs. AMD\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-20 22:15 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/20/better-buy-micron-technology-vs-amd/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) have been heading in different directions on the stock market so far in 2021.

But the overall picture appears to be bright, as the DRAM market should remain in strong shape for the remainder of the year and drive the bulk of Micron's growth.\nMemory market intelligence provider TrendForce expects PC DRAM contract prices to grow at a faster pace of 13%-18% in the second quarter after an increase of 3% to 8% in the first quarter. Server DRAM prices are also expected to clock 20% growth this quarter. Meanwhile, UBS analysts estimate that even NAND flash prices will continue to improve throughout the year, while the DRAM price growth shouldn't lose steam.\nSo the stage seems set for Micron to keep delivering solid results as the year progresses.\nThe case for AMD\nAMD is also set for a blockbuster year in 2021. It is sitting on several catalysts, ranging from PCs to servers to gaming consoles to graphics cards. But investors haven't shown much confidence in the stock, and the tech sell-off and positive developments at Intel have hamstrung AMD's stock market performance so far this year. But investors shouldn't write off this fast-growing chipmaker just yet.\nThat's because AMD is unlikely to lose ground to Intel anytime soon, and could exit the year with a bigger share of the CPU market. For instance, Hans Mosesmann of Rosenblatt Securities projects AMD to corner half of the CPU market by the end of the year, compared to its 22.4% share at the end of the third quarter of 2020. What's more, AMD is enjoying stronger pricing power over Intel, indicating that the company could enjoy a combination of higher volumes and better pricing this year.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nOn the other hand, AMD's data center prospects are looking up since the launch of its latest EPYC 7003 series processors, which are reportedly twice as fast as Intel's offerings, according to third-party tests. AMD could score huge financial gains in the data center market, as it is a much smaller player than Intel. And it seems well on its way to doing that, as several cloud service providers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have already lined up to buy the EPYC 7003 chips, including the likes of Alphabet's Google, Microsoft, Lenovo, Cisco, Dell Technologies, and Amazon, among others.\nFinally, the gaming console market is going to be another big growth driver for AMD this year, as sales of the new PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles are expected to explode in the coming years. The good news for AMD is that Sony and Microsoft are finding it difficult to keep up with demand, indicating that the chipmaker's newly-found momentum in the enterprise, embedded, and semi-custom (EESC) business is here to stay.\nSuch a broad range of catalysts explains why AMD has called for 37% revenue growth in 2021, and it expects its non-GAAP gross margin to expand by 2 percentage points over last year. However, don't be surprised to see AMD clock a faster growth rate if its market share gains against Intel continue and the console market gains more steam.\nThe verdict\nBoth AMD and Micron Technology are on track to record strong financial growth this year and beyond. However, there are a couple of factors that investors may want to look at before choosing one of these high flyers.\nMicron, for instance, plies its trade in a cyclical industry. Demand-supply dynamics play a critical role in the company's financial performance, and it is prone to huge crashes in revenue and earnings when memory prices head south. We have already seen that Micron is wary of elevated capital expenditure levels hurting the price of NAND flash memory. A similar scenario in the DRAM market could turn the tide against Micron, though the good news is that the industry's capital outlay is expected to either remain flat or decline over 2020.\nSo even though Micron is a cheaper bet, with a trailing price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 32 compared to AMD's multiple of 38, there is an element of market risk involved that needs to be actively monitored. Also, it is worth noting that AMD is expected to grow at a faster pace than Micron in the ongoing fiscal year, so the former's premium seems justified.\nFinally, AMD is not operating in a cyclical industry and is taking away market share from a bigger rival. As such, AMD seems like the more prudent bet over Micron from a long-term perspective, though investors looking for a growth stock with momentum on its side may be enticed by the memory specialist.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":187,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":371264908,"gmtCreate":1618947528304,"gmtModify":1704717299345,"author":{"id":"3574908424853825","authorId":"3574908424853825","name":"paoz","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574908424853825","idStr":"3574908424853825"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ape

holdings</b></p>\n<p>First, for the sake of precision, blockchain is a software program and one of its applications enables the creation of bitcoin. By being exposed to both, ARKF's holdings provide tremendous opportunities to benefit from disruption in digital payment and value appreciation of the digital asset class.</p>\n<p>Going into details, there is Square(NYSE:SQ)which owns 8,027 bitcoins in total as part of its balance sheet, amassed through three successive buy transactions. The first one of these was in October when the cryptocurrency was valued at about $12K each, compared to $57K today, up by&nbsp;375%. In addition, Square is exhibiting one of Cathie's favorite criteria: sustained ultra-high growth. The company is growing revenues at 140%, up from 40%, just three quarters before.</p>\n<p><b>Figure 2: Square's top six holdings.</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5124ae65d724c8982e3e08f2144a16fc\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"105\"><span>Source: ark-funds.com</span></p>\n<p>Keeping bitcoins as a means to shore up the balance sheet is just one side of the story as there is much more when taking into consideration that, permitting for faster transactions and cheaper costs, blockchain has now become the bedrock of FinTechs, like PayPal Holdings (PYPL).</p>\n<p>The latter symbolizes the transition from the days when financial technology companies using blockchain had mostly startup status, to subsequently becoming mainstream. PayPal not only offers the ability to trade cryptos and own digital wallets through its platform since October 2020, but it also has a well-thought strategy to revolutionize the way digital payments are done.</p>\n<p>In this respect, its latest move to acquire Curv, a provider of cloud-based infrastructure for digital asset security, shows the company's intent in providing compliant services. Now, compliance has been the Achilles' heel (weak spot) of the crypto space with some accusing the currency of being used for money laundering. Also,news&nbsp;about proposals to ban bitcoin in some countries have surfaced.</p>\n<p>However, to counteract pessimism, having the giant $275 billion FinTech to invest in blockchain and increase cryptocurrency's utility by making it available as a funding source for purchases at all of its 26 million merchants worldwide is a giant step in wider adoption and instilling confidence in the minds of doubters.</p>\n<p>Looking deeper, PayPal has become the&nbsp;first&nbsp;company to get a conditional BitLicense from the New York State Department of Financial Services in October and it should lead by example in showing that compliance with strict regulations can be achieved for the crypto space.</p>\n<p>Also, as a side note, the IRS has already taken an increasing interest in the cryptocurrency and issued guidelines for taxpayers since 2019.</p>\n<p>I now turn to ARKQ's other holdings.</p>\n<p><b>Crypto banking</b></p>\n<p>Bitcoin's sustained growth and adoption among large corporations would seem to support the idea that cryptocurrencies now offer a viable economic alternative, far from the last decade's craze for \"virtual currencies.\" Getting on board the most skeptical, who previously considered that its anonymity constituted a major factor facilitating usage as a currency for criminal transactions, has been made possible through the creation of crypto banks.</p>\n<p>One of these is Silvergate Capital (SI) which currently has about $5 billion in crypto-backed deposits. But the bank's biggest selling point for customers is its Silvergate Exchange Network, which lets clients transfer dollars to digital currency exchanges at any time. The cryptobank has overcome obstacles of traditional banking, limited by weekday working hours by enabling seamless transactions on a 24/7 basis, with transfers being instantaneous immediately after opening of a deposit account.</p>\n<p>The bank is up by 1900% during the last year, beating bitcoin's own performance in a demonstration that investors attach more importance to value-added services than the value of the digital asset itself.</p>\n<p>ARKF also holds Chinese Tencent Holdings (OTCPK:TCEHY), the creator of WeChat Pay, a payment service for mobile transactions. The company is continuing to invest heavily in blockchain, cloud computing, AI and cybersecurity, amid more regulations by the Chinese authorities, in their attempt to curb on excesses.</p>\n<p><b>Figure 3: Key metrics of ARK's first six holdings.</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89e0446ae414070ceb93fb880d93f33a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"272\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>Pursuing further, Zillow Group (Z) operates real estate and home-related information marketplaces on mobile and the Web, focusing on various stages of the home lifecycle, including renting, buying, selling, and financing. The company is synonymous with diversification, but there are others too.</p>\n<p>Diversified holdings</p>\n<p>As part of her diversification strategy, Cathie has aligned a large number of innovative plays who have brought disruption to their respective field of activities. These companies like Shopify (SHOP) and Twilio (TWLO) operating in the Internet Services and Infrastructure industry have been growing at CAGR rates exceeding&nbsp;60%&nbsp;for the last five years.</p>\n<p>However, they have high Price to Cash flow metrics and low profitability margins resulting in the one-month stock performance being depressed. It's all due to what some analysts have termed as \"the rotation from growth into value stocks,\" where investors tend to choose more profitable stocks with higher level of cash flows and lower P/E ratios.</p>\n<p><b>Figure 4: ARKF's subsequent holdings.</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0eaf6b5187096392242d489e76a61932\" tg-width=\"592\" tg-height=\"324\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>However, in addition to Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL), there are other stocks with more balanced growth vs. profitability metrics, also exhibiting higher cash flows relative to share price, such as Adyen N.V (OTCPK:ADYEY), the data processing and outsourcing play. These are just two names in ARKF's&nbsp;46&nbsp;holdings, as of March 19.</p>\n<p>Valuations and key takeaways</p>\n<p>While the outbreak of the pandemic caused investment budgets to be slashed in most industries due to uncertainty, this was not the case for the FinTech sector. However, with the re-opening of the economy mostly as a result of vaccinations, investors are likely to invest more into cyclicals, consumer discretionary and transportation stocks.</p>\n<p>However, the confidence in financial technology should remain at an elevated level.</p>\n<p>The reason is the accelerated pace of digitization which is continuing in every aspect of our personal and business lives as we get sucked up into secular trends constituted by eCommerce, mobile payment, remote working and online entertainment. Consequently, FinTechs that cater for this new paradigm should continue to see immense growth. As for the losers, the actively managed ARKF with an expense ratio of 0.79%, promptly takes measures either to disinvest or reduce exposure to the stock.</p>\n<p>Looking across the FinTech ETF space, there are other funds charging more or less the same fees, but ARKF's average daily traded volumes and performance metrics are strong positives.</p>\n<p><b>Figure 5: Comparing key metrics with peers.</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d480b74c4e6c3584cdac192ed8252dea\" tg-width=\"448\" tg-height=\"272\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha and wsj.com</span></p>\n<p>Furthermore, at an average P/E ratio of 49-52, ARKF's valuation does not appear on the high side, especially considering the superior growth opportunity it offers. Looking at holdings, while Square and PayPal each have high trailing P/E Non-GAAP of 118 and 62 respectively, Apple's 32.5 and Intercontinental Exchange's (ICE) 24.66 are at the lower end.</p>\n<p>Therefore, valuations vary widely across ARKF's portfolio, but its average P/E ratio together with peers are much higher than for the S&amp;P 500 at 14.85.</p>\n<p>Therefore, for those who strictly adhere to the value principle, ARKF is richly valued. However, for growth-focused investors, it remains a fact that the more specialized FinTech sector offers better growth and even margin expansion opportunity as the holdings get more matured.</p>\n<p>In this respect, the pace of investment in the industry should continue, aided by the need for technology-based solutions by banks, digital payment companies and cryptocurrency exchanges. There is a perpetual need for APIs (Application Program Interfaces) interacting with cloud-based infrastructures in the financial services industry to make access to services faster.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, the fact that these companies make use of software in their core business processes makes them more agile at delivering low-cost personalized products using emerging technologies. Also, increasing the dose of blockchain as part of their solutions will lead to lower costs, more rapid customer adoption and higher profitability.</p>\n<p>In this context, companies like PayPal, Tencent and ICE show that the FinTech ecosystem is somewhat unique, where in addition to out-sized growth rates, companies can still be profitable with significant free cash flows. Also, as per my calculation, the average Debt to Equity ratio for the first twelve stocks is only 65.</p>\n<p>Now, the&nbsp;global FinTech market&nbsp;is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of around 20% from 2020 to 2025. Accordingly, based on the current stock price of $50-52 with the market growing at 20%, ARKF could see an upside to the $60-62 levels by the end of this year. This is an estimate but is realistically possible as ARKF has more strength than others within ARK's family. For this matter, amid the recent downside, it fell by only 14%, compared to 17-20% for others.</p>\n<p>Moreover, in addition to mobile banking and digital payments, FinTechs offer loan services to individuals and businesses, and these should see high volumes during the re-opening of the services sector.</p>\n<p>Hence, for those who are interested to form part of ARK's growth story, price momentum indicators point to a fall to the $50 level, induced by rotation-led volatility. This should constitute a buying opportunity.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","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>ARKF: More Upside Possible With Increasing Blockchain Usage</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;

Also,news about proposals to ban bitcoin in some countries have surfaced.\nHowever, to counteract pessimism, having the giant $275 billion FinTech to invest in blockchain and increase cryptocurrency's utility by making it available as a funding source for purchases at all of its 26 million merchants worldwide is a giant step in wider adoption and instilling confidence in the minds of doubters.\nLooking deeper, PayPal has become the first company to get a conditional BitLicense from the New York State Department of Financial Services in October and it should lead by example in showing that compliance with strict regulations can be achieved for the crypto space.\nAlso, as a side note, the IRS has already taken an increasing interest in the cryptocurrency and issued guidelines for taxpayers since 2019.\nI now turn to ARKQ's other holdings.\nCrypto banking\nBitcoin's sustained growth and adoption among large corporations would seem to support the idea that cryptocurrencies now offer a viable economic alternative, far from the last decade's craze for \"virtual currencies.\" Getting on board the most skeptical, who previously considered that its anonymity constituted a major factor facilitating usage as a currency for criminal transactions, has been made possible through the creation of crypto banks.\nOne of these is Silvergate Capital (SI) which currently has about $5 billion in crypto-backed deposits. But the bank's biggest selling point for customers is its Silvergate Exchange Network, which lets clients transfer dollars to digital currency exchanges at any time. The cryptobank has overcome obstacles of traditional banking, limited by weekday working hours by enabling seamless transactions on a 24/7 basis, with transfers being instantaneous immediately after opening of a deposit account.\nThe bank is up by 1900% during the last year, beating bitcoin's own performance in a demonstration that investors attach more importance to value-added services than the value of the digital asset itself.\nARKF also holds Chinese Tencent Holdings (OTCPK:TCEHY), the creator of WeChat Pay, a payment service for mobile transactions. The company is continuing to invest heavily in blockchain, cloud computing, AI and cybersecurity, amid more regulations by the Chinese authorities, in their attempt to curb on excesses.\nFigure 3: Key metrics of ARK's first six holdings.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nPursuing further, Zillow Group (Z) operates real estate and home-related information marketplaces on mobile and the Web, focusing on various stages of the home lifecycle, including renting, buying, selling, and financing. The company is synonymous with diversification, but there are others too.\nDiversified holdings\nAs part of her diversification strategy, Cathie has aligned a large number of innovative plays who have brought disruption to their respective field of activities. These companies like Shopify (SHOP) and Twilio (TWLO) operating in the Internet Services and Infrastructure industry have been growing at CAGR rates exceeding 60% for the last five years.\nHowever, they have high Price to Cash flow metrics and low profitability margins resulting in the one-month stock performance being depressed. It's all due to what some analysts have termed as \"the rotation from growth into value stocks,\" where investors tend to choose more profitable stocks with higher level of cash flows and lower P/E ratios.\nFigure 4: ARKF's subsequent holdings.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nHowever, in addition to Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL), there are other stocks with more balanced growth vs. profitability metrics, also exhibiting higher cash flows relative to share price, such as Adyen N.V (OTCPK:ADYEY), the data processing and outsourcing play. These are just two names in ARKF's 46 holdings, as of March 19.\nValuations and key takeaways\nWhile the outbreak of the pandemic caused investment budgets to be slashed in most industries due to uncertainty, this was not the case for the FinTech sector. However, with the re-opening of the economy mostly as a result of vaccinations, investors are likely to invest more into cyclicals, consumer discretionary and transportation stocks.\nHowever, the confidence in financial technology should remain at an elevated level.\nThe reason is the accelerated pace of digitization which is continuing in every aspect of our personal and business lives as we get sucked up into secular trends constituted by eCommerce, mobile payment, remote working and online entertainment. Consequently, FinTechs that cater for this new paradigm should continue to see immense growth. As for the losers, the actively managed ARKF with an expense ratio of 0.79%, promptly takes measures either to disinvest or reduce exposure to the stock.\nLooking across the FinTech ETF space, there are other funds charging more or less the same fees, but ARKF's average daily traded volumes and performance metrics are strong positives.\nFigure 5: Comparing key metrics with peers.\nSource: Seeking Alpha and wsj.com\nFurthermore, at an average P/E ratio of 49-52, ARKF's valuation does not appear on the high side, especially considering the superior growth opportunity it offers. Looking at holdings, while Square and PayPal each have high trailing P/E Non-GAAP of 118 and 62 respectively, Apple's 32.5 and Intercontinental Exchange's (ICE) 24.66 are at the lower end.\nTherefore, valuations vary widely across ARKF's portfolio, but its average P/E ratio together with peers are much higher than for the S&P 500 at 14.85.\nTherefore, for those who strictly adhere to the value principle, ARKF is richly valued. However, for growth-focused investors, it remains a fact that the more specialized FinTech sector offers better growth and even margin expansion opportunity as the holdings get more matured.\nIn this respect, the pace of investment in the industry should continue, aided by the need for technology-based solutions by banks, digital payment companies and cryptocurrency exchanges. There is a perpetual need for APIs (Application Program Interfaces) interacting with cloud-based infrastructures in the financial services industry to make access to services faster.\nFurthermore, the fact that these companies make use of software in their core business processes makes them more agile at delivering low-cost personalized products using emerging technologies. Also, increasing the dose of blockchain as part of their solutions will lead to lower costs, more rapid customer adoption and higher profitability.\nIn this context, companies like PayPal, Tencent and ICE show that the FinTech ecosystem is somewhat unique, where in addition to out-sized growth rates, companies can still be profitable with significant free cash flows. Also, as per my calculation, the average Debt to Equity ratio for the first twelve stocks is only 65.\nNow, the global FinTech market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of around 20% from 2020 to 2025. Accordingly, based on the current stock price of $50-52 with the market growing at 20%, ARKF could see an upside to the $60-62 levels by the end of this year. This is an estimate but is realistically possible as ARKF has more strength than others within ARK's family. For this matter, amid the recent downside, it fell by only 14%, compared to 17-20% for others.\nMoreover, in addition to mobile banking and digital payments, FinTechs offer loan services to individuals and businesses, and these should see high volumes during the re-opening of the services sector.\nHence, for those who are interested to form part of ARK's growth story, price momentum indicators point to a fall to the $50 level, induced by rotation-led volatility. This should constitute a buying opportunity.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":142,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":359675098,"gmtCreate":1616399890014,"gmtModify":1704793496036,"author":{"id":"3574908424853825","authorId":"3574908424853825","name":"paoz","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574908424853825","idStr":"3574908424853825"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Up up up","listText":"Up up up","text":"Up up up","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4ec0810022541a208ff37b44e8c7643b","width":"1080","height":"2071"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/359675098","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":125,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350956258,"gmtCreate":1616153486274,"gmtModify":1704791600883,"author":{"id":"3574908424853825","authorId":"3574908424853825","name":"paoz","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574908424853825","idStr":"3574908424853825"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Gme to the moon","listText":"Gme to the moon","text":"Gme to the moon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/350956258","repostId":"1143733672","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1143733672","pubTimestamp":1616152692,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1143733672?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-19 19:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Is Everyone (Still) Talking About GameStop Stock?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1143733672","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"It's a GameStop world.

The financial metrics were already going the wrong way.</p>\n<p><b>Onus Is on Management to Fix the Business</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/34f453fde54f3a7e3e63e83ef2a82c74\" tg-width=\"1535\" tg-height=\"825\"><span>Source: Charts by TradingView</span></p>\n<p>Management will need to reinvent itself to stop the bleeding and turn the tide. That’s going to be harder to do since yesterday the CEO George Sherman announced his resignation. The new team will have a blank slate since there’s almost nothing to lose. They can only improve on a bad situation.</p>\n<p>From total chaos sometimes we get great reform opportunities. Take&nbsp;<b>General Electric</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>GE</u></b>), for example. For a while, management was committing one flub after another. They finally got the right team and things fell into place. The company is now looking great. It’s leaner, meaner, and on the right path to redemption.</p>\n<p>This is what GME stocks needs in the long run. But for the short run I bet there is a whole bunch more shenanigans. The gang on Reddit is not likely to give up this easily. If you don’t enjoy gambling, this is not the stock for you.</p>\n<p>The charts show that it is stuck in a wide range. A break below $118 per share could bring a big drop from there. Conversely, the breach above $200 invites more buyers and the sky’s the limit then. I am being sarcastic but only to a degree. After seeing what happened in February, I would not be surprised to see more jaw-dropping action.</p>\n<p>Whatever investors decide to do with GME stock needs to come with humility. There are absolutely no conviction levels that warrant taking giant risks. The action is too wild, and it resembles more gambling than investing. These shenanigans have been the wildest I’ve ever seen in my entire life.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>GameStop Stock Is a Battle Between the Institution and the Masses</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\">\nGameStop Stock Is a Battle Between the Institution and the Masses\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-20 23:08 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/04/gme-stock-gamestop-battle-between-the-institution-and-the-masses/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>GME stock has outside influence, which makes it speculative\nLast year we had the pandemic and the explosion of the investment in SPACs.

This is not because of the pandemic. The results in 2019 were already much worse than 2017. Total revenues were already down 30% in two years even before Covid-19 showed up. The financial metrics were already going the wrong way.\nOnus Is on Management to Fix the Business\nSource: Charts by TradingView\nManagement will need to reinvent itself to stop the bleeding and turn the tide. That’s going to be harder to do since yesterday the CEO George Sherman announced his resignation. The new team will have a blank slate since there’s almost nothing to lose. They can only improve on a bad situation.\nFrom total chaos sometimes we get great reform opportunities. Take General Electric (NYSE:GE), for example. For a while, management was committing one flub after another. They finally got the right team and things fell into place. The company is now looking great. It’s leaner, meaner, and on the right path to redemption.\nThis is what GME stocks needs in the long run. But for the short run I bet there is a whole bunch more shenanigans. The gang on Reddit is not likely to give up this easily. If you don’t enjoy gambling, this is not the stock for you.\nThe charts show that it is stuck in a wide range. A break below $118 per share could bring a big drop from there. Conversely, the breach above $200 invites more buyers and the sky’s the limit then. I am being sarcastic but only to a degree. After seeing what happened in February, I would not be surprised to see more jaw-dropping action.\nWhatever investors decide to do with GME stock needs to come with humility. There are absolutely no conviction levels that warrant taking giant risks. The action is too wild, and it resembles more gambling than investing. These shenanigans have been the wildest I’ve ever seen in my entire life.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":559,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350956258,"gmtCreate":1616153486274,"gmtModify":1704791600883,"author":{"id":"3574908424853825","authorId":"3574908424853825","name":"paoz","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574908424853825","idStr":"3574908424853825"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Gme to the moon","listText":"Gme to the moon","text":"Gme to the moon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/350956258","repostId":"1143733672","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1143733672","pubTimestamp":1616152692,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1143733672?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-19 19:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Is Everyone (Still) Talking About GameStop Stock?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1143733672","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"It's a GameStop world.

But an investment offered GameStop shareholders some hope that better days were ahead.A major investor entersRC Ventures, led by Ryan Cohen, who founded the successful online company Chewy, made a major investment in GameStop last year.With about a 13% stake, RC Ventures has set about to make some changes. This includes Cohen, who took a board seat along with two others in January, recently stepping up as chairman. The company also announced that George Sherman, chief executive officer, was stepping down in July, or possibly earlier if his replacement is found.With Cohen's experience, plus his push to hire executives with e-commerce experience from places like Chewy and Amazon, Cohen will attempt to move GameStop further into digital offerings.Hit the pause buttonGameStop, which has been cleaning up its balance sheet, recently announced that it would pay down debt. It plans to repay the $216 million senior notes, ridding itself of long-term debt. This gives the company some breathing room to execute its plan.Cohen is hiring the management team, but it has provided few details on a turnaround plan. While he certainly has e-commerce credentials, and his track record is impressive, it is hard to take a leap of faith right now. There are formidable competitors in the digital download arena, making it tough for GameStop to compete. This means winning the battle will not come easy.There a couple of things that need to happen before you invest your money. First, you need to hear details on the plan. But I wouldn't stop there. It is important to see how management is executing its strategy and how its actions flow to the top and bottom lines.While GameStop's fourth-quarter comps rose by 6.5%, this was largely due to new game consoles from Sony and Microsoft. This also helped first-quarter sales get off to a good start, with February's comps increasing by 23%. Therefore, it is important to see how the company's software sales, which GameStop breaks out separately, are doing. With fierce online competition, this isn't easy sledding.Until you see this improving, it's best to sit on the sidelines.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":243,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":371264141,"gmtCreate":1618947577883,"gmtModify":1704717299181,"author":{"id":"3574908424853825","authorId":"3574908424853825","name":"paoz","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574908424853825","idStr":"3574908424853825"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Micron","listText":"Micron","text":"Micron","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/371264141","repostId":"2128846612","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":187,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":359675817,"gmtCreate":1616399970639,"gmtModify":1704793498644,"author":{"id":"3574908424853825","authorId":"3574908424853825","name":"paoz","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574908424853825","idStr":"3574908424853825"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Go
