The Cupertino-based tech giant recorded largest quarterly revenues ever of $81.4 billion, which were up 36% from the prior year and outperformed the average Wall Street forecast of $72.9 billion and our&nbsp;previous coverage&nbsp;projections of $76.5 billion by nearly $10 billion.</p>\n<p>The company also saw robust double-digit growth across the board from products and services to every geographic segment, with the installed base of devices and paid service subscriptions reaching an all-time high; the stellar results were also indicative of increased market penetration with the largest double-digit growth recorded for switchers and upgraders ever for a June-quarter, marking another record-breaking milestone in the books this quarter and continued dominance across all markets for Apple.</p>\n<p>Yet, Apple’s shares slipped as much as 3% following the earnings call and continues to be down close to 1% since July 27th. The stock also has not fared well amongst its FAANG counterparts in recent weeks from the stock sell-off triggered by fear that the latest resurgence of the coronavirus’ delta variant could erode economic growth.</p>\n<p>The contradicting movement in Apple’s share price compared to its stellar June quarter financial results allegedly stemmed from management’s warning of decelerated growth for the upcoming September quarter as lingering supply chain constraints are expected to place an adverse impact on product sales, especially on the revenue-leading iPhone and iPad categories; other headwinds also include weaker FX gains and anticipated slowed growth in the services category as demand returns to pre-pandemic levels following above-normal June quarter results.</p>\n<p>However, we consider anticipated headwinds as only short-term impacts that will not result in permanent losses for the company. The Apple stock remains primed for further upside considering the rising global demand for its products and services. Despite the supply crunch and decelerated growth anticipated for the upcoming September quarter, our outlook remains bullish on Apple with upside of more than 15% based on the last traded share price of $145.52 on August 2nd. With Apple’s stock price still down 0.85% from its earnings call on July 27thand down close to 3% from its mid-July peak, we consider the recent price pullback an advantage slated for long-term gains.</p>\n<p><b>Strength in Overcoming Lost Sales from Supply Constraints</b></p>\n<p>One of the key drivers for slowed growth anticipated for the September quarter is the ongoing chip supply shortage, which had previously caused more pervasive impact to the automotive industry but has now trickled down to consumer electronics. And Apple, who has its proprietary chips made by the world’s largest contract chip manufacturer, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:TSMor “TSMC”), has not been spared from impact, with management warning of a supply constraint for the legacy semiconductor nodes used in the display and audio functions of its best-selling products, which is expected to drive lower sales in the near term.</p>\n<p>TSMC has also warned the chip shortage will likely continue into the&nbsp;following year, which is consistent with the timeline issued across all impacted industries. Although management has not provided a quantified range for the anticipated impact on the September quarter’s results, it is expected to be far more severe than what was experienced in the June quarter, which was on the low end of the $3 billion and $4 billion range estimate provided in April.</p>\n<p>However, the continued acceleration in global demand for iPhones and iPads is expected to more than compensate for the upcoming loss of revenues in later periods as “deferred” sales when raw material supplies return, and pending demand is fulfilled. To date, 97% of customers who have purchased from the iPhone 12 family have indicated appreciation for the enhanced 5G speeds, alongside improved chip technology and camera quality.</p>\n<p>The product category has also seen strong upgrade and switch rates in recent months as users continue their transition from legacy iPhones and other smartphones to the latest and greatest 5G-enabled iPhone. Considering 5G technology is still in early stages of adoption with low penetration rate, there is still significant additional growth opportunities available for the current and future 5G-enabled iPhone models.</p>\n<p>Global demand for 5G-enabled devices is expected to grow at a&nbsp;compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 38% into 2026, which further corroborates the expectation that potential lost sales from the ongoing supply shortage will not be permanent as demand for iPhones will continue to persist at high levels and make-whole lost sales in later periods when chip supplies return. A similar trend is expected for iPad demands in the long run, as it has proven itself during the pandemic to be a versatile and affordable tool to support creativity and social connection.</p>\n<p>The production and sales bottleneck caused by the ongoing global chip supply shortage will only be a temporary pause to Apple’s iPhone and iPad hot streak, which is expected to resume in strength when the supply chain finds alleviation to its current crunch sometime next year. And when this happens, we should be expecting above-normal sales levels underpinned by robust demand, similar to those observed in the June quarter.</p>\n<p><b>Outperforming Competition in the Services Segment with Innovation</b></p>\n<p>Although the above-normal growth in the services business segment observed during the June quarter is expected to revert to more moderated historical levels going forward, Apple has continued to be diligent in rolling out “innovative new features and programming” to increase reach and maintain market dominance in the increasingly competitive landscape.</p>\n<p>Apple’s services business segment – which includes iCloud, Apple TV+, App Store, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, advertising, payment and other service offerings – currently competes head-on with other prominent service providers like Spotify (NYSE:SPOT), Netflix (Nasdaq:NFLX), Amazon.com (Nasdaq:AMZN),Google(Nasdaq:GOOG) (GOOGL) and&nbsp;Facebook(Nasdaq:FB). In order to maintain its established reputation for innovative technology and grow its loyal fanbase, Apple has recently introduced several new upgrades to existing service offerings at its most recent Worldwide Developers Conference (“WWDC”).</p>\n<p>The new exciting features include&nbsp;Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio&nbsp;for Apple Music, which enables an “immersive” listening experience and provides access to the studio quality of original audio files at no additional cost – a competitive advantage to audio streaming leader Spotify’s “HiFi” equivalent, which will likely come at a higher price tag upon launch. And for Apple TV+ – Apple’s gateway to the fast-growing&nbsp;video-streaming&nbsp;market – the company has continued to produce quality programming, which is proven through the&nbsp;35 Emmy Nominations&nbsp;that it has received this year.</p>\n<p>A new generation of the&nbsp;Apple TV, which includes a Siri-enabled remote and enhanced colour balance technology, has also been unveiled to complement its improved programming, which is expected to further enhance customer traction for the segment. The tech giant has also rebranded its iCloud service to&nbsp;iCloud+, with additional upgrades including enhanced privacy features and expanded HomeKit Secure Video support to accompany its suite of smart home devices at no additional costs.</p>\n<p>Other recently launched and enhanced services include Apple Podcast subscriptions, Apple News+ and Apple Fitness+, which could be bundled through Apple One at a discounted subscription rate. The Apple One bundle, which was launched in Q2, has already seen incredible success with increasing adoption rates that continue to drive overall growth within the services business segment.</p>\n<p><b>Overall Financial Prospects</b></p>\n<p>Considering the above analysis on Apple’s current operating environment, the recent headwinds that will drive decelerated growth during the September quarter are expected to be temporary and will be overcome with ease in the long run. Our base case forecast projects total net sales of $85.6 billion for the September quarter, representing 32% year-over-year growth, which is consistent with management’s expectations for strong double-digit year-over-year growth that will be slightly lower than the 36% reported for the June quarter.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/347e1ee20881f92c4563eeeaa5b1963c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"232\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts (Apple_-_Forecasted_Financial_Information.pdf).</span></p>\n<p>Our projected total net sales for the September quarter consist of $67.6 billion in product sales, up 35% from the prior year, and $18.0 billion in service sales, up 24% from the prior year. Altogether, our base case forecast projects total net sales of $368.1 billion for FY 2021, which represents year-over-year growth of 34%. The company’s net sales are expected to maintain accelerated growth at a CAGR of 8% towards $534.4 billion by FY 2026 due to increasing adoption and integration of technology and digital media into both professional and personal aspects of day-to-day routines.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/179a3a17abb5e6e4e0cb20196095a5eb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"200\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts.</span></p>\n<p>Gross profit margins are projected at 41.7% for the September quarter, which is consistent with management’s guidance of approximately 41.5% to 42.5% considering the higher freight costs expected for this quarter, offset by an overall decline in component supply costs as product sales continue to scale.</p>\n<p>Total operating expenses are projected at $11.4 billion for the fiscal year’s fourth quarter, which consists of $6.0 billion related to research and development efforts, and $5.4 billion related to selling, general and administrative expenses; this is consistent with Apple’s cost structure observed in recent periods, and in line with the estimated range of $11.3 billion and $11.5 billion provided in management’s guidance.</p>\n<p>As a result, our base case forecast projects total cost of sales of $214.5 billion, and total operating expenses of $43.9 billion for FY 2021. And a similar cost structure is expected to apply into FY 2026 to support Apple’s continued growth in its products and services categories, as well as across all geographic segments in which it currently operates in.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/631897e055a326e11a137bad234bd0c9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"200\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts.</span></p>\n<p>Altogether, our base case forecast projects FY 2021 net income of $94.8 billion, which represents year-over-year growth of 65%. The bottom line is forecasted for further growth at a CAGR of 7% into the next five years, resulting in projected net income of $132.5 billion by 2026.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ce4ffc957a33598110dd5c193b77e637\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"198\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts.</span></p>\n<p><i>i.

This represents upside potential of 17.4% based on the last traded share price of $145.52 on August 2nd.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d398b8df89c54ecc26709392246469b0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"210\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.</span></p>\n<p>To arrive at the $170.91 price target, we have applied a WACC of 8% to discount Apple’s projected free cash flows over a five-year discrete period; the WACC is consistent with Apple’s current risk profile and capital structure, which includes its latest&nbsp;four-part debt offering&nbsp;to&nbsp;taling $6.5 billion. Our valuation analysis also assumes a 19.7x EV/EBITDA multiple, which is in line with guideline public companies and precedent transactions within Apple’s industry peer group, and is reflective of current market expectations for Apple’s business growth potential in the long run.</p>\n<p><i>i. Base Case Valuation Analysis:</i></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2b30bd02b3ef44a0cc3e7fef6501235c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"308\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.</span></p>\n<p>In order to validate our foregoing analysis that the adverse impacts to sales resulting from supply constraints, moderated services segment revenues and less favourable FX are only temporary and will not materially change Apple’s upside potential, we have also performed a sensitivity analysis to quantify the impact to FY 2021 revenues needed to decrease our base case price target of $170.91 by 10%.</p>\n<p>Based on our sensitivity analysis, FY 2021 revenues of $301.5 billion with growth at a CAGR of 10% into 2026, while holding all other valuation assumptions (i.e. cost structure, WACC, EV/EBITDA multiple) discussed above constant, would result in a price target of $153.82, which is 10% lower than our base case price target of $170.91.</p>\n<p>Considering year-to-date total net sales of $282.5 billion, Apple would only need to achieve total net sales of $19.0 billion for the September quarter to maintain a projected equity value of $2.5 trillion or $153.82 per share, which is highly unlikely even under supply constraint pressures and reduced services segment sales based on the company’s current growth trajectory. As such, we do not consider the near-term impacts related to supply constraints, moderated services segment revenues, and unfavourable FX a catalyst for permanent loss to Apple’s valuation.</p>\n<p><i>i.

And the recent price pullback makes a great buy opportunity for those looking to participate in the company's long-term gains.\n\nJustin Sullivan/Getty Images News\nJust a week ago, Apple (Nasdaq:AAPL) reported record-setting June quarter results that had crushed market expectations. The Cupertino-based tech giant recorded largest quarterly revenues ever of $81.4 billion, which were up 36% from the prior year and outperformed the average Wall Street forecast of $72.9 billion and our previous coverage projections of $76.5 billion by nearly $10 billion.\nThe company also saw robust double-digit growth across the board from products and services to every geographic segment, with the installed base of devices and paid service subscriptions reaching an all-time high; the stellar results were also indicative of increased market penetration with the largest double-digit growth recorded for switchers and upgraders ever for a June-quarter, marking another record-breaking milestone in the books this quarter and continued dominance across all markets for Apple.\nYet, Apple’s shares slipped as much as 3% following the earnings call and continues to be down close to 1% since July 27th. The stock also has not fared well amongst its FAANG counterparts in recent weeks from the stock sell-off triggered by fear that the latest resurgence of the coronavirus’ delta variant could erode economic growth.\nThe contradicting movement in Apple’s share price compared to its stellar June quarter financial results allegedly stemmed from management’s warning of decelerated growth for the upcoming September quarter as lingering supply chain constraints are expected to place an adverse impact on product sales, especially on the revenue-leading iPhone and iPad categories; other headwinds also include weaker FX gains and anticipated slowed growth in the services category as demand returns to pre-pandemic levels following above-normal June quarter results.\nHowever, we consider anticipated headwinds as only short-term impacts that will not result in permanent losses for the company. The Apple stock remains primed for further upside considering the rising global demand for its products and services. Despite the supply crunch and decelerated growth anticipated for the upcoming September quarter, our outlook remains bullish on Apple with upside of more than 15% based on the last traded share price of $145.52 on August 2nd. With Apple’s stock price still down 0.85% from its earnings call on July 27thand down close to 3% from its mid-July peak, we consider the recent price pullback an advantage slated for long-term gains.\nStrength in Overcoming Lost Sales from Supply Constraints\nOne of the key drivers for slowed growth anticipated for the September quarter is the ongoing chip supply shortage, which had previously caused more pervasive impact to the automotive industry but has now trickled down to consumer electronics. And Apple, who has its proprietary chips made by the world’s largest contract chip manufacturer, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:TSMor “TSMC”), has not been spared from impact, with management warning of a supply constraint for the legacy semiconductor nodes used in the display and audio functions of its best-selling products, which is expected to drive lower sales in the near term.\nTSMC has also warned the chip shortage will likely continue into the following year, which is consistent with the timeline issued across all impacted industries. Although management has not provided a quantified range for the anticipated impact on the September quarter’s results, it is expected to be far more severe than what was experienced in the June quarter, which was on the low end of the $3 billion and $4 billion range estimate provided in April.\nHowever, the continued acceleration in global demand for iPhones and iPads is expected to more than compensate for the upcoming loss of revenues in later periods as “deferred” sales when raw material supplies return, and pending demand is fulfilled. To date, 97% of customers who have purchased from the iPhone 12 family have indicated appreciation for the enhanced 5G speeds, alongside improved chip technology and camera quality.\nThe product category has also seen strong upgrade and switch rates in recent months as users continue their transition from legacy iPhones and other smartphones to the latest and greatest 5G-enabled iPhone. Considering 5G technology is still in early stages of adoption with low penetration rate, there is still significant additional growth opportunities available for the current and future 5G-enabled iPhone models.\nGlobal demand for 5G-enabled devices is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 38% into 2026, which further corroborates the expectation that potential lost sales from the ongoing supply shortage will not be permanent as demand for iPhones will continue to persist at high levels and make-whole lost sales in later periods when chip supplies return. A similar trend is expected for iPad demands in the long run, as it has proven itself during the pandemic to be a versatile and affordable tool to support creativity and social connection.\nThe production and sales bottleneck caused by the ongoing global chip supply shortage will only be a temporary pause to Apple’s iPhone and iPad hot streak, which is expected to resume in strength when the supply chain finds alleviation to its current crunch sometime next year. And when this happens, we should be expecting above-normal sales levels underpinned by robust demand, similar to those observed in the June quarter.\nOutperforming Competition in the Services Segment with Innovation\nAlthough the above-normal growth in the services business segment observed during the June quarter is expected to revert to more moderated historical levels going forward, Apple has continued to be diligent in rolling out “innovative new features and programming” to increase reach and maintain market dominance in the increasingly competitive landscape.\nApple’s services business segment – which includes iCloud, Apple TV+, App Store, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, advertising, payment and other service offerings – currently competes head-on with other prominent service providers like Spotify (NYSE:SPOT), Netflix (Nasdaq:NFLX), Amazon.com (Nasdaq:AMZN),Google(Nasdaq:GOOG) (GOOGL) and Facebook(Nasdaq:FB). In order to maintain its established reputation for innovative technology and grow its loyal fanbase, Apple has recently introduced several new upgrades to existing service offerings at its most recent Worldwide Developers Conference (“WWDC”).\nThe new exciting features include Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio for Apple Music, which enables an “immersive” listening experience and provides access to the studio quality of original audio files at no additional cost – a competitive advantage to audio streaming leader Spotify’s “HiFi” equivalent, which will likely come at a higher price tag upon launch. And for Apple TV+ – Apple’s gateway to the fast-growing video-streaming market – the company has continued to produce quality programming, which is proven through the 35 Emmy Nominations that it has received this year.\nA new generation of the Apple TV, which includes a Siri-enabled remote and enhanced colour balance technology, has also been unveiled to complement its improved programming, which is expected to further enhance customer traction for the segment. The tech giant has also rebranded its iCloud service to iCloud+, with additional upgrades including enhanced privacy features and expanded HomeKit Secure Video support to accompany its suite of smart home devices at no additional costs.\nOther recently launched and enhanced services include Apple Podcast subscriptions, Apple News+ and Apple Fitness+, which could be bundled through Apple One at a discounted subscription rate. The Apple One bundle, which was launched in Q2, has already seen incredible success with increasing adoption rates that continue to drive overall growth within the services business segment.\nOverall Financial Prospects\nConsidering the above analysis on Apple’s current operating environment, the recent headwinds that will drive decelerated growth during the September quarter are expected to be temporary and will be overcome with ease in the long run. Our base case forecast projects total net sales of $85.6 billion for the September quarter, representing 32% year-over-year growth, which is consistent with management’s expectations for strong double-digit year-over-year growth that will be slightly lower than the 36% reported for the June quarter.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts (Apple_-_Forecasted_Financial_Information.pdf).\nOur projected total net sales for the September quarter consist of $67.6 billion in product sales, up 35% from the prior year, and $18.0 billion in service sales, up 24% from the prior year. Altogether, our base case forecast projects total net sales of $368.1 billion for FY 2021, which represents year-over-year growth of 34%. The company’s net sales are expected to maintain accelerated growth at a CAGR of 8% towards $534.4 billion by FY 2026 due to increasing adoption and integration of technology and digital media into both professional and personal aspects of day-to-day routines.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts.\nGross profit margins are projected at 41.7% for the September quarter, which is consistent with management’s guidance of approximately 41.5% to 42.5% considering the higher freight costs expected for this quarter, offset by an overall decline in component supply costs as product sales continue to scale.\nTotal operating expenses are projected at $11.4 billion for the fiscal year’s fourth quarter, which consists of $6.0 billion related to research and development efforts, and $5.4 billion related to selling, general and administrative expenses; this is consistent with Apple’s cost structure observed in recent periods, and in line with the estimated range of $11.3 billion and $11.5 billion provided in management’s guidance.\nAs a result, our base case forecast projects total cost of sales of $214.5 billion, and total operating expenses of $43.9 billion for FY 2021. And a similar cost structure is expected to apply into FY 2026 to support Apple’s continued growth in its products and services categories, as well as across all geographic segments in which it currently operates in.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts.\nAltogether, our base case forecast projects FY 2021 net income of $94.8 billion, which represents year-over-year growth of 65%. The bottom line is forecasted for further growth at a CAGR of 7% into the next five years, resulting in projected net income of $132.5 billion by 2026.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts.\ni. Base Case Financial Projections:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts.\nAAPL Stock Valuation\nOur revised price target for Apple based on updated information from its recent earnings release is $170.91. This represents upside potential of 17.4% based on the last traded share price of $145.52 on August 2nd.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nTo arrive at the $170.91 price target, we have applied a WACC of 8% to discount Apple’s projected free cash flows over a five-year discrete period; the WACC is consistent with Apple’s current risk profile and capital structure, which includes its latest four-part debt offering to taling $6.5 billion. Our valuation analysis also assumes a 19.7x EV/EBITDA multiple, which is in line with guideline public companies and precedent transactions within Apple’s industry peer group, and is reflective of current market expectations for Apple’s business growth potential in the long run.\ni. Base Case Valuation Analysis:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nIn order to validate our foregoing analysis that the adverse impacts to sales resulting from supply constraints, moderated services segment revenues and less favourable FX are only temporary and will not materially change Apple’s upside potential, we have also performed a sensitivity analysis to quantify the impact to FY 2021 revenues needed to decrease our base case price target of $170.91 by 10%.\nBased on our sensitivity analysis, FY 2021 revenues of $301.5 billion with growth at a CAGR of 10% into 2026, while holding all other valuation assumptions (i.e. cost structure, WACC, EV/EBITDA multiple) discussed above constant, would result in a price target of $153.82, which is 10% lower than our base case price target of $170.91.\nConsidering year-to-date total net sales of $282.5 billion, Apple would only need to achieve total net sales of $19.0 billion for the September quarter to maintain a projected equity value of $2.5 trillion or $153.82 per share, which is highly unlikely even under supply constraint pressures and reduced services segment sales based on the company’s current growth trajectory. As such, we do not consider the near-term impacts related to supply constraints, moderated services segment revenues, and unfavourable FX a catalyst for permanent loss to Apple’s valuation.\ni. Revenue Sensitivity Analysis:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nConclusion - Is AAPL Stock A Good Buy?\nConsidering Apple’s growth prospects, the recent price pullback makes a great buy opportunity for those looking to participate in the company’s long-term gains. The near-term headwinds related to industry-wide supply constraints and normalized services segment revenues are not expected to materially change Apple’s growth trajectory nor valuation in the long run.\nAny lost revenues in the September quarter will very likely be recouped when the supply chain restores its balance, considering the continued surge in demand for iPhones and iPads underpinned by ongoing 5G transition and the increasing need for versatile portable smart devices to enable online access at all times. As a global industry leader with successes achieved to date that very few could match, Apple is poised for further upside realization in the long run.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":243,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":890127739,"gmtCreate":1628087833721,"gmtModify":1703501054738,"author":{"id":"3574935698617505","authorId":"3574935698617505","name":"rollingmoney","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574935698617505","idStr":"3574935698617505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/890127739","repostId":"1187165636","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":325,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":809583358,"gmtCreate":1627379089074,"gmtModify":1703488744922,"author":{"id":"3574935698617505","authorId":"3574935698617505","name":"rollingmoney","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574935698617505","idStr":"3574935698617505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/809583358","repostId":"2154899497","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2154899497","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":1627377481,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2154899497?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-27 17:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 Stocks To Watch For July 27, 2021","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2154899497","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Some of the stocks that may grab investor focus today are:\n\tWall Street expects  General Electric Company (NYSE: GE) to report quarterly earnings at $0.04 per share on revenue of $18.13 billion before the opening bell.

The Fed seems to be favoring its full employment mandate more than its price stability mandate.”\n“Accordingly, the upcoming Fed meeting could be impactful,” Carter said.\nBenchmark Treasury yields eased after the bid at the largest-ever TIPS auction touched a record low, pressuring rate sensitive banks.\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 25.35 points, or 0.07%, to 34,823.35, the S&P 500 gained 8.79 points, or 0.20%, to 4,367.48 and the Nasdaq Composite added 52.64 points, or 0.36%, to 14,684.60.\nOf the 11 major sectors of the S&P 500, tech was shining brightest, gaining 0.7%. Energy stocks suffered the largest percentage drop.\nThe second-quarter reporting season barreled ahead at full-throttle, with 104 of the companies in the S&P 500 having reported. Of those, 88% have beaten consensus estimates, according to Refinitiv.\nDrugmaker Biogen Inc gained 1.1% after hiking its full-year revenue guidance, while Domino’s Pizza Inc surged 14.6% to an all-time high on the heels of its quarterly report.\nSouthwest Airlines Co posted a bigger-than-expected quarterly loss, sending its stock down 3.5%, and American Airlines Group Inc dipped 1.1% even after reporting a quarterly profit.\nThe S&P 1500 Airlines index ended the session off 1.7%.\nShares of Texas Instruments Inc slid 5.3% after its current-quarter revenue forecast cast concerns as to whether the company will be able to meet spiking demand in the face of a global semiconductor shortage.\nThe Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index ended the session down 0.9%.\nChipmaker Intel Corp slipped more than 1% in extended trading after the chipmaker posted results and raised its annual revenue forecast.\nDeclining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 1.82-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.90-to-1 ratio favored decliners.\nThe S&P 500 posted 39 new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 70 new highs and 54 new lows.\nVolume on U.S. exchanges was 8.25 billion shares, compared with the 10.12 billion average over the last 20 trading days.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":442,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":172968541,"gmtCreate":1626927967983,"gmtModify":1703480771821,"author":{"id":"3574935698617505","authorId":"3574935698617505","name":"rollingmoney","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574935698617505","idStr":"3574935698617505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/172968541","repostId":"1132046331","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1132046331","pubTimestamp":1626925773,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1132046331?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-22 11:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Celebrity Investors Who Broke Buffett’s Investing Tenets — And Scored","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1132046331","media":"investorplace","summary":"Warren Buffett is worth more than $100 billion.

If you’ve dabbled in growth stocks over the last year, your portfolio probably looks like a paper punch ballot from the 2000 Bush-Gore Florida recount …<i>more than a few extra hanging chads</i>.</p>\n<p>More recently, retail investors have become much more diversified. So should we worship a new fund manager now?Here’s a place to start.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/73ab062cea0fd08ffae58971d246b6e4\" tg-width=\"639\" tg-height=\"257\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: InvestorPlace via Twitter</span></p>\n<p>The results of a recent<i>InvestorPlace</i>twitter poll suggest that the crowd favorite is growth investing messiah Cathie Wood.For those who are less familiar, Wood is theCEO and chief investment officer of ARKInvestment Management.</p>\n<p>Tied for second place are two equally compelling investment warriors. First, we’ve got the (not so mythical) mature unicorn lover Bill Ackman of&nbsp;<b>Pershing Square Tontine Holdings</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PSTH</u></b>). Ackman stands right next tothe “most feared man in corporate America,” celebrity activistJeff Smith of&nbsp;<b>StarboardValue Acquisition</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>SVAC</u></b>).</p>\n<p>No doubt, these three investors have unique personalities. But they also promote three distinct investing styles, which have made an indelible impression on the way we think about a stock’s intrinsic value.</p>\n<p>From hypergrowth, to growth arbitrage, to “SPAC-tivists,” here’s a closer look at the investing psychology behind these investment styles, along with top stock picks. Ultimately, if we pepper a little bit of Cathie, Bill and Jeff into our own stock-picking, we might make some new rules of investing (and break them again later). Hell, putting it all together, we might even get one step closer to that coveted Buffett net worth.</p>\n<p><b>New Investment Styles: The Hypergrowth Investor</b></p>\n<p><b>StyleMessiah:</b>Cathie Wood&nbsp;<b>Investing MO:</b>Early stage growth stories in massive (and rapidly growing) addressable markets</p>\n<p>Aniconoclastic personalityand buzzy social media following earned Wood a Buffett-like fandom. But out-of-this-worldperformance makes Cathie the reigning investment queen. Wood’s flagship exchange-traded fund (ETF), the&nbsp;<b>ARK Innovation Fund</b>(NYSEARCA:<b><u>ARKK</u></b>),holds $22 billion in assets. It also&nbsp;delivered an otherworldly 147% return in 2020.</p>\n<p>Wood made “disruptiveinnovation” a household word. She also invested big (and early) in several massive technology themes — from artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, cybersecurity, blockchain, digital wallets to genomics.</p>\n<p>Many of the “Woodstocks” are aggressive, high-beta stocks which experienced meteoric gains last year. For example,<b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>), a big holding in three of Wood’s funds, gained 510% in 2020. (Side note:reports of TSLA’s imminent demise are greatly exaggerated). Wood predicts the electric car company can double its revenue growth over the next 5 years and willsomeday be valued at over $1 trillion. Other ARK gems include&nbsp;<b>Square</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SQ</u></b>),<b>Teladoc Health</b>(NYSE:<b><u>TDOC</u></b>),<b>Roku</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ROKU</u></b>) and&nbsp;<b>Shopify</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SHOP</u></b>).</p>\n<p><b>Winner Takes Most</b></p>\n<p>Another salient trait: Wood invests in technology leaders in a “winner takes most” market. This gives her the confidence to largely ignore valuation and invest in companies whose profits are years if not decades away. That’s most definitely not something Buffett would do.</p>\n<p>While Cathie’s picks worked amazingly well in 2020, the market has been less kind to emerging growth stocksamid rising interest rates. ARK’s total assets aredown to $52 billion (from $60 billion) — largely reflecting a cooling amid a rotation into value names that will benefit from the economic recovery.ARKK and&nbsp;<b>ARK Next Generation Internet ETF</b>(NYSEARCA:<b><u>ARKW</u></b>) have underperformed the market,down 4% and 2%year to date, respectively (versus a14%gain for the&nbsp;<b>Nasdaq Composite</b>).</p>\n<p>Success has brought about some growing pains. Huge inflows led observers to question ARK’s sizable stakes in small- and mid-cap names and the liquidity of these positions in a downturn.In particular,Wood’s strategy of selling holdings in bigger, more liquid companies during drawdowns and buying less well-traded names fueled fears that ARK would become overexposed to its most speculative bets.Wood has pushed back on concerns about ticket sizes, arguing that the companies she invested in could grow quickly, solving the problem. (Side note: ARKno longer holds a stake bigger than 20% in any stock, down fromthree companiesin February).</p>\n<p><b>A Less-Crowded Easter Egg Hunt</b></p>\n<p>There’s another important bi-product of Cathie’s success: a fairly predictable herd-like chasing behavior.Investors closely follow ARK trades,provided dailya few hours after market close, to see Wood’s endorsements of stocks. That momentum has pushed stocks like data analytics company<b>Palantir</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>) into meme-like territory.</p>\n<p>But when that herding behavior continues, that is,when a group of momentum investors chase the same stocks, it does two things. First, it candrive up the value of stocks without actually analyzing and understanding the underlying valuation of them.Second, it leaves other growth stories relatively undiscovered,like a less crowded Easter Egg hunt. That’s the reason these next two investors are on my radar.</p>\n<p><b>New Investment Styles</b>: The Growth Arbitrage Investor</p>\n<p><b>Style Messiah:</b>Bill Ackman&nbsp;<b>Investing MO:</b>Price dislocation in high-quality businesses with incremental cash flow potential</p>\n<p>Bringing“mature unicorn”&nbsp;back into the investing vernacular while spawninga thousand memes, Bill Ackman has re-defined growth arbitrage investing. Ackman’s SPAC,Pershing Square Tontine Holdingsseeks out investments in durable,proven businesses. These are the kind that Warren Buffett would say have amoataround them. But another facet of PSTH’s picks is that these companies don’t yet have stock prices that reflect their potential.</p>\n<p>Like Wood, Ackman looks for growth — but not at any price. This manager aims for businessestrading at highly discounted valuations — usually because investors have overreacted to negative macro or company-specific events.A key investment theme:finding names whose intrinsic value is driven by<i>cash generation</i>, not future growth projections.</p>\n<p><b>Double Dipping</b></p>\n<p>Just the mention of cash generation might make a lot of self-proclaimed growth investors wince. But for Ackman acolytes, or “Tontards” (as the&nbsp;<b>Reddit</b>&nbsp;crowd calls them), growth and fundamental analysis need not exist separately. In fact, Ackman has shown that buying thesehigh-quality, but mispriced stocks can unlock a<i>double</i>discount. A stock price often doesn’t reflect the intrinsic value of the business. Nor does it often reflect the intrinsic value of the business<i>if it were run better.</i></p>\n<p>Usually, once an Ackman holding makes a few modest tweaks, the business’ earnings and cash flow lever delivers strong upside — and price appreciation for the stock.Take for example, some of Ackman’s mispriced winners like the growth story at&nbsp;<b>Chipotle Mexican Grill</b>(NYSE:<b><u>CMG</u></b>), or successful turnarounds, such as<b>Lowe’s</b>(NYSE:<b><u>LOW</u></b>). Oh, and don’t forget the turnarounds ofleisure travel play&nbsp;<b>Hilton</b>(NYSE:<b><u>HLT</u></b>) and tech giant<b>Agilent</b>(NYSE:<b><u>A</u></b>), either.</p>\n<p>In addition to value unlocking, Ackman’s growth arbitrage investing style has other key advantages. First, the portfolio is shielded from momentum-driven volatility caused by changing investor whims. Whereas a portion of Cathie’s portfolio consists of “fast-money” plays like special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) and electric vehicle companies, whose fortunes can change very quickly, Ackman’s names tend to be owned by investors with a longer-term investment horizon.</p>\n<p>Second, because these businesses are presently delivering cash flow and earnings, their valuations are more insulated against rising interest rates.</p>\n<p><b>Know When to Fold ‘em</b></p>\n<p>While Wood has been criticized for the concentration of her portfolio, Ackman isn’t afraid to take money off the table. In May, PSTH announced it had exited its wildly successful position in&nbsp;<b>Starbucks</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>SBUX</u></b>) to acquire a roughly 6% stake in&nbsp;<b>Domino’s Pizza</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DPZ</u></b>). The thesis: It’s a simple free cash flow business suffering from temporary price dislocation. With a digital delivery infrastructure and the largest owned in-house delivery network, Ackman sees a combination of exceptional economics and the potential for continued share gains.</p>\n<p>For r/PSTH’s16,000-plus Tontards, PSTH stock has been a bumpy ride lately. First there wasAckman’s eyebrow raising decision to use a SPAC to buy a minority stake in another company. This MO didn’t follow the usual SPAC investment pattern, which is to merge with and take its target public. Second, there was this week’s announcement thatPSTH backed out of its deal to buy a 10% stake in mega-music publisher Universal Music Group from<b>Vivendi</b>(OTCMKTS:<b><u>VIVHY</u></b>).The reason:objections from the Securities and Exchange Commission&nbsp;relating to<b>NYSE</b>listing rules.</p>\n<p>Tontards are spinning a positive narrative. PSTH can conserve its firepower for a larger acquisition. While the identity of the SPAC’s merger target is still unknown, payment companies, includingStripe and Plaidhave been mentioned as potential candidates. The increasing valuation for these expensive unicorns could be another reason for PSTH wanting to maximize its $4 billion cash war chest.</p>\n<p><b>New Investment Styles</b>:<b>The ‘SPAC-tivist’</b></p>\n<p><b>Style Messiah:</b>Jeff Smith</p>\n<p><b>Investing MO:</b>Build stakes in undervalued businesses and force operational and/or strategic changes to unlock value</p>\n<p>There’s another investor with aneye for detecting unrealized potential in companies: activist investor and hedge fund manager Jeff Smith. The hedge fund he manages,Starboard Value LP, is known for executing big sweeping changes at its target companies. In 2014, Starboard ousted the entire board of Olive Garden-owner<b>Darden Restaurants</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DRI</u></b>), a stunning shareholder coup. In less than two years, Smith oversaw a stunning turnaround at the company, resulting in a 40% appreciation in Darden’s stock price.</p>\n<p>Starboard builds stakes in undervalued companies with inefficient management. It then forces them to make important operational changes to correct course and unlock value. About 80% of Starboard Value’s activist campaigns have been profitable, while the fund posted annualized returns of 15.5% through 2014. Famous activist targets include&nbsp;<b>The ODP Company</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ODP</u></b>),<b>Macy’s</b>(NYSE:<b><u>M</u></b>) and<b>Papa John’s Pizza</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>PZZA</u></b>).</p>\n<p><b>Finding the Value in Growth</b></p>\n<p>More recently, Smith is trying his hand in SPACs.Starboard Value Acquisition, which raised$360 million in its September 2020 IPO,announced its first merger target, data-center firm Cyxtera Technologies.Formed in 2017, Cyxtera consists of 57 data centers owned by CenturyLink, now known as&nbsp;<b>Lumen Technologies</b>(NYSE:<b><u>LUMN</u></b>), with four cybersecurity and data analytics companies.</p>\n<p>If Ackman mostly hunts for mature unicorns, Smith’s target is on the younger side. Valued at $3.4 billion, Cyxtera is an early stage company in a well-established, rapidly growing market with strong secular tailwinds. Smith’s target could have room to grow from a valuation perspective too.</p>\n<p>In 2020, data center real estate investment trusts ended the year as the best performing REIT sector, accumulating a total of21% annual return. Cyxtera’s closest equivalents,<b>Equinix</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>EQIX</u></b>) and&nbsp;<b>Digital Realty Trust</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DLR</u></b>) command lofty multiples of 31x and 26x forward AFFO (Adjusted Funds From Operations). With improved revenue growth and utilization, Cyxtera may experience a valuation recalibration closer to these peer multiples.</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>3 Celebrity Investors Who Broke Buffett’s Investing Tenets — And Scored</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 Celebrity Investors Who Broke Buffett’s Investing Tenets — And Scored\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-22 11:49 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/07/3-celebrity-investors-broke-buffett-investing-tenets-scored-net-worth/><strong>investorplace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Warren Buffett is worth more than $100 billion.

If you’ve dabbled in growth stocks over the last year, your portfolio probably looks like a paper punch ballot from the 2000 Bush-Gore Florida recount …more than a few extra hanging chads.\nMore recently, retail investors have become much more diversified. So should we worship a new fund manager now?Here’s a place to start.\nSource: InvestorPlace via Twitter\nThe results of a recentInvestorPlacetwitter poll suggest that the crowd favorite is growth investing messiah Cathie Wood.For those who are less familiar, Wood is theCEO and chief investment officer of ARKInvestment Management.\nTied for second place are two equally compelling investment warriors. First, we’ve got the (not so mythical) mature unicorn lover Bill Ackman of Pershing Square Tontine Holdings(NYSE:PSTH). Ackman stands right next tothe “most feared man in corporate America,” celebrity activistJeff Smith of StarboardValue Acquisition(NASDAQ:SVAC).\nNo doubt, these three investors have unique personalities. But they also promote three distinct investing styles, which have made an indelible impression on the way we think about a stock’s intrinsic value.\nFrom hypergrowth, to growth arbitrage, to “SPAC-tivists,” here’s a closer look at the investing psychology behind these investment styles, along with top stock picks. Ultimately, if we pepper a little bit of Cathie, Bill and Jeff into our own stock-picking, we might make some new rules of investing (and break them again later). Hell, putting it all together, we might even get one step closer to that coveted Buffett net worth.\nNew Investment Styles: The Hypergrowth Investor\nStyleMessiah:Cathie Wood Investing MO:Early stage growth stories in massive (and rapidly growing) addressable markets\nAniconoclastic personalityand buzzy social media following earned Wood a Buffett-like fandom. But out-of-this-worldperformance makes Cathie the reigning investment queen. Wood’s flagship exchange-traded fund (ETF), the ARK Innovation Fund(NYSEARCA:ARKK),holds $22 billion in assets. It also delivered an otherworldly 147% return in 2020.\nWood made “disruptiveinnovation” a household word. She also invested big (and early) in several massive technology themes — from artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, cybersecurity, blockchain, digital wallets to genomics.\nMany of the “Woodstocks” are aggressive, high-beta stocks which experienced meteoric gains last year. For example,Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA), a big holding in three of Wood’s funds, gained 510% in 2020. (Side note:reports of TSLA’s imminent demise are greatly exaggerated). Wood predicts the electric car company can double its revenue growth over the next 5 years and willsomeday be valued at over $1 trillion. Other ARK gems include Square(NYSE:SQ),Teladoc Health(NYSE:TDOC),Roku(NASDAQ:ROKU) and Shopify(NYSE:SHOP).\nWinner Takes Most\nAnother salient trait: Wood invests in technology leaders in a “winner takes most” market. This gives her the confidence to largely ignore valuation and invest in companies whose profits are years if not decades away. That’s most definitely not something Buffett would do.\nWhile Cathie’s picks worked amazingly well in 2020, the market has been less kind to emerging growth stocksamid rising interest rates. ARK’s total assets aredown to $52 billion (from $60 billion) — largely reflecting a cooling amid a rotation into value names that will benefit from the economic recovery.ARKK and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF(NYSEARCA:ARKW) have underperformed the market,down 4% and 2%year to date, respectively (versus a14%gain for the Nasdaq Composite).\nSuccess has brought about some growing pains. Huge inflows led observers to question ARK’s sizable stakes in small- and mid-cap names and the liquidity of these positions in a downturn.In particular,Wood’s strategy of selling holdings in bigger, more liquid companies during drawdowns and buying less well-traded names fueled fears that ARK would become overexposed to its most speculative bets.Wood has pushed back on concerns about ticket sizes, arguing that the companies she invested in could grow quickly, solving the problem. (Side note: ARKno longer holds a stake bigger than 20% in any stock, down fromthree companiesin February).\nA Less-Crowded Easter Egg Hunt\nThere’s another important bi-product of Cathie’s success: a fairly predictable herd-like chasing behavior.Investors closely follow ARK trades,provided dailya few hours after market close, to see Wood’s endorsements of stocks. That momentum has pushed stocks like data analytics companyPalantir(NYSE:PLTR) into meme-like territory.\nBut when that herding behavior continues, that is,when a group of momentum investors chase the same stocks, it does two things. First, it candrive up the value of stocks without actually analyzing and understanding the underlying valuation of them.Second, it leaves other growth stories relatively undiscovered,like a less crowded Easter Egg hunt. That’s the reason these next two investors are on my radar.\nNew Investment Styles: The Growth Arbitrage Investor\nStyle Messiah:Bill Ackman Investing MO:Price dislocation in high-quality businesses with incremental cash flow potential\nBringing“mature unicorn” back into the investing vernacular while spawninga thousand memes, Bill Ackman has re-defined growth arbitrage investing. Ackman’s SPAC,Pershing Square Tontine Holdingsseeks out investments in durable,proven businesses. These are the kind that Warren Buffett would say have amoataround them. But another facet of PSTH’s picks is that these companies don’t yet have stock prices that reflect their potential.\nLike Wood, Ackman looks for growth — but not at any price. This manager aims for businessestrading at highly discounted valuations — usually because investors have overreacted to negative macro or company-specific events.A key investment theme:finding names whose intrinsic value is driven bycash generation, not future growth projections.\nDouble Dipping\nJust the mention of cash generation might make a lot of self-proclaimed growth investors wince. But for Ackman acolytes, or “Tontards” (as the Reddit crowd calls them), growth and fundamental analysis need not exist separately. In fact, Ackman has shown that buying thesehigh-quality, but mispriced stocks can unlock adoublediscount. A stock price often doesn’t reflect the intrinsic value of the business. Nor does it often reflect the intrinsic value of the businessif it were run better.\nUsually, once an Ackman holding makes a few modest tweaks, the business’ earnings and cash flow lever delivers strong upside — and price appreciation for the stock.Take for example, some of Ackman’s mispriced winners like the growth story at Chipotle Mexican Grill(NYSE:CMG), or successful turnarounds, such asLowe’s(NYSE:LOW). Oh, and don’t forget the turnarounds ofleisure travel play Hilton(NYSE:HLT) and tech giantAgilent(NYSE:A), either.\nIn addition to value unlocking, Ackman’s growth arbitrage investing style has other key advantages. First, the portfolio is shielded from momentum-driven volatility caused by changing investor whims. Whereas a portion of Cathie’s portfolio consists of “fast-money” plays like special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) and electric vehicle companies, whose fortunes can change very quickly, Ackman’s names tend to be owned by investors with a longer-term investment horizon.\nSecond, because these businesses are presently delivering cash flow and earnings, their valuations are more insulated against rising interest rates.\nKnow When to Fold ‘em\nWhile Wood has been criticized for the concentration of her portfolio, Ackman isn’t afraid to take money off the table. In May, PSTH announced it had exited its wildly successful position in Starbucks(NASDAQ:SBUX) to acquire a roughly 6% stake in Domino’s Pizza(NYSE:DPZ). The thesis: It’s a simple free cash flow business suffering from temporary price dislocation. With a digital delivery infrastructure and the largest owned in-house delivery network, Ackman sees a combination of exceptional economics and the potential for continued share gains.\nFor r/PSTH’s16,000-plus Tontards, PSTH stock has been a bumpy ride lately. First there wasAckman’s eyebrow raising decision to use a SPAC to buy a minority stake in another company. This MO didn’t follow the usual SPAC investment pattern, which is to merge with and take its target public. Second, there was this week’s announcement thatPSTH backed out of its deal to buy a 10% stake in mega-music publisher Universal Music Group fromVivendi(OTCMKTS:VIVHY).The reason:objections from the Securities and Exchange Commission relating toNYSElisting rules.\nTontards are spinning a positive narrative. PSTH can conserve its firepower for a larger acquisition. While the identity of the SPAC’s merger target is still unknown, payment companies, includingStripe and Plaidhave been mentioned as potential candidates. The increasing valuation for these expensive unicorns could be another reason for PSTH wanting to maximize its $4 billion cash war chest.\nNew Investment Styles:The ‘SPAC-tivist’\nStyle Messiah:Jeff Smith\nInvesting MO:Build stakes in undervalued businesses and force operational and/or strategic changes to unlock value\nThere’s another investor with aneye for detecting unrealized potential in companies: activist investor and hedge fund manager Jeff Smith. The hedge fund he manages,Starboard Value LP, is known for executing big sweeping changes at its target companies. In 2014, Starboard ousted the entire board of Olive Garden-ownerDarden Restaurants(NYSE:DRI), a stunning shareholder coup. In less than two years, Smith oversaw a stunning turnaround at the company, resulting in a 40% appreciation in Darden’s stock price.\nStarboard builds stakes in undervalued companies with inefficient management. It then forces them to make important operational changes to correct course and unlock value. About 80% of Starboard Value’s activist campaigns have been profitable, while the fund posted annualized returns of 15.5% through 2014. Famous activist targets include The ODP Company(NASDAQ:ODP),Macy’s(NYSE:M) andPapa John’s Pizza(NASDAQ:PZZA).\nFinding the Value in Growth\nMore recently, Smith is trying his hand in SPACs.Starboard Value Acquisition, which raised$360 million in its September 2020 IPO,announced its first merger target, data-center firm Cyxtera Technologies.Formed in 2017, Cyxtera consists of 57 data centers owned by CenturyLink, now known as Lumen Technologies(NYSE:LUMN), with four cybersecurity and data analytics companies.\nIf Ackman mostly hunts for mature unicorns, Smith’s target is on the younger side. Valued at $3.4 billion, Cyxtera is an early stage company in a well-established, rapidly growing market with strong secular tailwinds. Smith’s target could have room to grow from a valuation perspective too.\nIn 2020, data center real estate investment trusts ended the year as the best performing REIT sector, accumulating a total of21% annual return. Cyxtera’s closest equivalents,Equinix(NASDAQ:EQIX) and Digital Realty Trust(NYSE:DLR) command lofty multiples of 31x and 26x forward AFFO (Adjusted Funds From Operations). With improved revenue growth and utilization, Cyxtera may experience a valuation recalibration closer to these peer multiples.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":346,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":135277006,"gmtCreate":1622167352405,"gmtModify":1704180732777,"author":{"id":"3574935698617505","authorId":"3574935698617505","name":"rollingmoney","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574935698617505","idStr":"3574935698617505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like like like&nbsp;","listText":"Like like like&nbsp;","text":"Like like like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/135277006","repostId":"1148985369","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":500,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":136183028,"gmtCreate":1621999216264,"gmtModify":1704365795363,"author":{"id":"3574935698617505","authorId":"3574935698617505","name":"rollingmoney","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574935698617505","idStr":"3574935698617505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like like like","listText":"Like like like","text":"Like like like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/136183028","repostId":"2138196079","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138196079","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1621972828,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2138196079?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-26 04:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-Wall Street pauses as investors eye inflation clues","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138196079","media":"Reuters","summary":"(For a Reuters live blog on U.S., UK and European stock markets, click LIVE/ or type LIVE/ in a news","content":"<p>(For a Reuters live blog on U.S., UK and European stock markets, click LIVE/ or type LIVE/ in a news window.)</p><ul><li>Boeing rises on 14 new orders for 737 MAX jets</li><li>Lordstown slumps after halving truck production target</li></ul><p>May 25 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks closed slightly lower on Tuesday, and each of Wall Street's main indexes failed to stray far from the unchanged mark following a rally in the prior session as investors continue to try and assess the route of inflation.</p><p>Yields on longer-dated U.S. Treasuries fell for a fourth straight day, with the benchmark 10-year yield    hitting a fresh two-week low of 1.56% and helping to dampen inflation worries.

A much stronger than expected reading on consumer prices two weeks ago re-ignited inflation fears and stoked market volatility.Airline stocks, part of the \"reopening\" trade, rose after United Airlines    and Hawaiian Holdings    issued upbeat air traffic and ticket sale estimates that sent their shares up.Boeing    gained after aircraft leasing business SMBC Aviation Capital agreed to buy 14 more 737 MAX jets.Lordstown Motors Corp    slumped after the electric vehicle startup said that 2021 production of its Endurance truck would be half of prior expectations and it needs additional capital to execute its plans.(Reporting by Chuck Mikolajczak; Editing by Aurora Ellis)","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":473,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":138168158,"gmtCreate":1621918239874,"gmtModify":1704364434645,"author":{"id":"3574935698617505","authorId":"3574935698617505","name":"rollingmoney","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574935698617505","idStr":"3574935698617505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like like like&nbsp;","listText":"Like like like&nbsp;","text":"Like like like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/138168158","repostId":"2137132568","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2137132568","pubTimestamp":1621915020,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2137132568?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-25 11:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"10 Reasons the Cryptocurrency Bubble Is Bursting","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2137132568","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"This might be more than just a \"healthy pullback.\"","content":"<blockquote><b>This might be more than just a \"healthy pullback.\"</b></blockquote><p>For more than 100 years, the stock market has been <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the greatest wealth creators in this country.

All the major cryptos combined can't hold a candle to the processing potential of Visa or Mastercard, yet the Big Three of crypto have a higher combined market value than Visa and Mastercard.

There's virtually no barrier to entry</p><p>Aside from minimal utility, my biggest personal gripe with crypto is there's no barrier to entry. Anyone with the time to code can develop a blockchain and, potentially, a tethered token. According to CoinMarketCap, there are almost 10,000 different cryptocurrencies in its system.

Centralization remains a problem</p><p>One of the many goals of cryptocurrencies is decentralization. This is to ensure that no one person or small group of people controls a network. Yet according to data from BitInfoCharts.com, ownership in Bitcoin and Dogecoin is fairly centralized. Just 2,155 addresses own almost 42% of all Bitcoin, while 66.6% of all outstanding Dogecoin is owned by only 99 addresses. It's possible folks are waking up to the fact that these financial experiments aren't as decentralized as they were intended to be.</p><p>6. Elon Musk is tugging at heartstrings</p><p>Another reason the crypto bubble is bursting is that it's been artificially driven by tweets from <b>Tesla</b>&nbsp;CEO Elon Musk.</p><p>At first, Musk was all aboard the Bitcoin train. He purchased $1.5 billion Bitcoin for Tesla's balance sheet in February and announced that the company would begin accepting Bitcoin for electric vehicle purchases a month later. Then, after 49 days, he tweeted that Tesla would no longer accept Bitcoin because of the adverse environmental impacts of mining it. He's since turned his attention to Dogecoin.</p><p>The fact that tweets with little or no substance are creating and erasing hundreds of billions of dollars in crypto market value would seem to indicate that a bubble has been brewing for some time.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c7f03bc8a60bee0f293f0582f185505\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"474\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>7. Not all governments are OK with crypto</p><p>The crypto bubble is also popping because some governments aren't OK with allowing cryptocurrencies to undermine their own central bank-backed currencies. Last week, China sent the crypto market into a tailspin after prohibiting banks and online payment channels in the country from offering any services related to the cryptocurrency industry. It should be noted that a lot of Bitcoin mining occurs in China.</p><p>And China's far from alone. Turkey recently enacted a ban on crypto payments. Meanwhile, countries including Bolivia, Ecuador, Nigeria, and Algeria have effectively banned digital currencies. This trend makes the global use case for crypto unlikely.</p><p>8. There are no identifiable real-world correlations</p><p>Yet another issue with crypto is there are no readily identifiable real-world correlations.</p><p>For example, we know that gold and the U.S. dollar have an inverse relationship to one another. When the dollar is declining in value, gold is very likely rising in value. This is a correlation that's been established over a long period of time.</p><p>Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin don't have these correlations. Enthusiasts like to point out how crypto is a hedge against inflation, but they forget that Bitcoin has both risen and fallen when the money supply expanded rapidly or slowly. Crypto is driven by emotion and technical analysis, primarily because it has no real-world correlations.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b04ade705354c4825038c4dfcd0187d9\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"500\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>9. Leverage is haunting the crypto market</p><p>The cryptocurrency implosion can also be blamed on investors who are over-levered. Some of the most popular crypto exchanges will allow customers to use 50 to 125 times leverage on their actual account equity. While this isn't an uncommon amount of leverage in forex, where currencies move in fractions of a cent, it's absolutely ludicrous for crypto, which can move 3% in the blink of an eye.</p><p>According to data from Bybt.com, via Bloomberg, over 887,000 accounts totaling $9.4 billion in aggregate crypto assets were liquidated as a result of leverage-based margin calls on May 19. Because of this insane leverage, it doesn't take much for things to go south quickly for the crypto market.</p><p>10. Investors always overhype new tech</p><p>Finally, investors frequently overestimate the adoption of new technology. Though there is no shortage of people hyped up about blockchain, it's been more than a half-decade and the blockchain buzz hasn't materialized into meaningful enterprise usage. It takes all next-big-thing technology time to mature, and crypto will be no different.</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>10 Reasons the Cryptocurrency Bubble Is Bursting</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\">\n10 Reasons the Cryptocurrency Bubble Is Bursting\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-25 11:57 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/24/10-reasons-the-cryptocurrency-bubble-is-bursting/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>This might be more than just a \"healthy pullback.\"For more than 100 years, the stock market has been one of the greatest wealth creators in this country.

It takes all next-big-thing technology time to mature, and crypto will be no different.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":469,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":100460093,"gmtCreate":1619631432612,"gmtModify":1704727131315,"author":{"id":"3574935698617505","authorId":"3574935698617505","name":"rollingmoney","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574935698617505","idStr":"3574935698617505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TIGR\">$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$</a>hodl&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TIGR\">$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$</a>hodl&nbsp;","text":"$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$hodl","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/100460093","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":249,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":377251084,"gmtCreate":1619532026748,"gmtModify":1704725532265,"author":{"id":"3574935698617505","authorId":"3574935698617505","name":"rollingmoney","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574935698617505","idStr":"3574935698617505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TIGR\">$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$</a>hodl","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TIGR\">$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$</a>hodl","text":"$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$hodl","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/377251084","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":292,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":346655806,"gmtCreate":1618035236405,"gmtModify":1704706226485,"author":{"id":"3574935698617505","authorId":"3574935698617505","name":"rollingmoney","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574935698617505","idStr":"3574935698617505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"A","listText":"A","text":"A","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/346655806","repostId":"1142324412","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1142324412","pubTimestamp":1617982207,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1142324412?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-09 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"XPeng Inc.: A Reawakening","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1142324412","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Valuation is middling but not overvalued like in the past.Recent announcement of capacity expansion in Wuhan lends better operational and sales visibility.Company could breakeven and finally reach positive profits soon; major improvements seen in operating margins.Feared chip shortage  was not a disaster, deliveries are still strong.Government support, China's creation of an EV ecosystem.XPEV's strong deliveries describe not only excellent support from the private sector, but also the Chinese go","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Valuation is middling but not overvalued like in the past.</li>\n <li>Recent announcement of capacity expansion in Wuhan lends better operational and sales visibility.</li>\n <li>Company could breakeven and finally reach positive profits soon; major improvements seen in operating margins.</li>\n <li>Feared chip shortage (i.e. supply disruption) was not a disaster, deliveries are still strong.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e0f3343d69719839f9b8f1d337c3984\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1024\"><span>Photo by Robert Way/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p><b>Introduction</b></p>\n<p>The stock price of&nbsp;XPEV&nbsp;has been converging with the performance of the S&amp;P 500 since March 2021, as compared to its massive outperformance in 4Q2020.

The following points suggest specific positives for XPEV that remain intact despite relatively ebbing momentum on the stock's price (as compared to 4Q2020):</p>\n<ol>\n <li><b>Deliveries met despite fears on chip shortage.</b>While the stock's price momentum appears to have ebbed, recent news continues to remain positive. At an industry level, Chinese vehicle manufacturers XPEV andNIOmanaged to manufacture the expected numbers of vehicle deliveries, despite much feared chip shortages.XPEV chalked&nbsp;in record quarterly deliveries of 13,340 EVs in Q1 2021, +487% over the year and +130% over the month in March.NIO delivered&nbsp;20,060 +423% over the year while Q1 deliveries rose 15.6% to 20,060. The challenge these EV manufacturers face now is not so much the ability to deliver on its numbers, but on being able to meet high expectations for the stock price to gain further traction.</li>\n <li><b>Government support, China's creation of an EV ecosystem.</b>XPEV's strong deliveries describe not only excellent support from the private sector, but also the Chinese government's push to develop this part of its industry. XPEV has entered into an agreement with the city of Wuhan to build a factory with a capacity of 100,000 EV units. This is a very significant piece of news, considering its deliveries of just 5,102 in March 2021. Annualizing this number, the new capacity will be more than the whole of XPEV's total historical annual production. This news is interesting and significant since it was just released this week, suggesting it may have yet to be factored into analysts' forecast numbers. This is made more important as XPEV has always been considered a laggard in production capabilities to its larger cousin NIO. General Chinese government support for the EV ecosystem is strong, and the new facility in Wuhan echoes earlier provincial government financial support ($77m) in Guangdong. The reality is, for EVs to gain traction, government willingness to support infrastructure initiatives are highly important (e.g. permits for charging stations, creating incentives to convert from old polluting vehicles to green vehicles, etc.). With China's tradition of central planning, the EV ecosystem is placed on the right footing.</li>\n <li><b>Listing in Hong Kong adds to investor base and liquidity.</b>Going forward,XPEV,NIO, and&nbsp;LI&nbsp;intend tolistin Hong Kong this year. This is a strategic move, and makes the valuation of these companies less susceptible by US political bashing (e.g. the threat of being de-listed) should it occur, since it reflects a wider geographical base. The valuations of these companies may even get a boost given greater global liquidity due to added trading in the Asian time zone.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Of note, in late March, XPEV held an&nbsp;autonomous driving expedition&nbsp;covering eight cities in China and 3,675 kilometers. The exercise was successful, as minimal human intervention was needed during the expedition and adds another brownie point to XPEV's research and development efforts, placing XPEV on the&nbsp;competitive landscape&nbsp;against rivals such as TSLA and NIO on autonomous driving. Apparently, XPEV's autonomous driving results&nbsp;performed better&nbsp;than TSLA's with fewer human interventions per 100km and better navigation in complex situations.</p>\n<p><b>XPEV's improving financials</b></p>\n<p>Now that we have several quarters of financial data on XPEV, it is worth reviewing how its metrics have been performing. Firstly, market expectations aside, deliveries have been very good as abovementioned, and this is flowing through to revenue numbers. As shown in the below table, growth has been very strong, and revenues are expected to more than double in 2021 and continue to double in 2022. Such growth rates place XPEV at the top end of manufacturing firms, as expected of the fast-growing EV market.</p>\n<p>Another point to note is the improvement in operating margins. As with any \"new tech\" company, initial investments would cause hugely negative operating margins in the beginning. What's important is the company's ability to improve margins and reduce costs over time. In this respect, XPEV has done a good job, with operating margins improving sequentially each quarter. Of note, operating margins started to see major improvements between the Jun-2020 (-142%) and Dec-2020 (-39%) quarters as shown in the table below. Given this trend, the company is likely to breakeven and register positive profits soon, which could be a catalytic re-rating for XPEV. When we pair this analysis with the stock price, it appears that XPEV's recently soft stock price performance is not justified.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the balance sheet is expected to remain strong. Equity to total liabilities &amp; equity is 23% as at Dec-2020.

The following points suggest specific positives for XPEV that remain intact despite relatively ebbing momentum on the stock's price (as compared to 4Q2020):</p>\n<ol>\n <li><b>Deliveries met despite fears on chip shortage.</b>While the stock's price momentum appears to have ebbed, recent news continues to remain positive. At an industry level, Chinese vehicle manufacturers XPEV andNIOmanaged to manufacture the expected numbers of vehicle deliveries, despite much feared chip shortages.XPEV chalked&nbsp;in record quarterly deliveries of 13,340 EVs in Q1 2021, +487% over the year and +130% over the month in March.NIO delivered&nbsp;20,060 +423% over the year while Q1 deliveries rose 15.6% to 20,060. The challenge these EV manufacturers face now is not so much the ability to deliver on its numbers, but on being able to meet high expectations for the stock price to gain further traction.</li>\n <li><b>Government support, China's creation of an EV ecosystem.</b>XPEV's strong deliveries describe not only excellent support from the private sector, but also the Chinese government's push to develop this part of its industry. XPEV has entered into an agreement with the city of Wuhan to build a factory with a capacity of 100,000 EV units. This is a very significant piece of news, considering its deliveries of just 5,102 in March 2021. Annualizing this number, the new capacity will be more than the whole of XPEV's total historical annual production. This news is interesting and significant since it was just released this week, suggesting it may have yet to be factored into analysts' forecast numbers. This is made more important as XPEV has always been considered a laggard in production capabilities to its larger cousin NIO. General Chinese government support for the EV ecosystem is strong, and the new facility in Wuhan echoes earlier provincial government financial support ($77m) in Guangdong. The reality is, for EVs to gain traction, government willingness to support infrastructure initiatives are highly important (e.g. permits for charging stations, creating incentives to convert from old polluting vehicles to green vehicles, etc.). With China's tradition of central planning, the EV ecosystem is placed on the right footing.</li>\n <li><b>Listing in Hong Kong adds to investor base and liquidity.</b>Going forward,XPEV,NIO, and&nbsp;LI&nbsp;intend tolistin Hong Kong this year. This is a strategic move, and makes the valuation of these companies less susceptible by US political bashing (e.g. the threat of being de-listed) should it occur, since it reflects a wider geographical base. The valuations of these companies may even get a boost given greater global liquidity due to added trading in the Asian time zone.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Of note, in late March, XPEV held an&nbsp;autonomous driving expedition&nbsp;covering eight cities in China and 3,675 kilometers. The exercise was successful, as minimal human intervention was needed during the expedition and adds another brownie point to XPEV's research and development efforts, placing XPEV on the&nbsp;competitive landscape&nbsp;against rivals such as TSLA and NIO on autonomous driving. Apparently, XPEV's autonomous driving results&nbsp;performed better&nbsp;than TSLA's with fewer human interventions per 100km and better navigation in complex situations.</p>\n<p><b>XPEV's improving financials</b></p>\n<p>Now that we have several quarters of financial data on XPEV, it is worth reviewing how its metrics have been performing. Firstly, market expectations aside, deliveries have been very good as abovementioned, and this is flowing through to revenue numbers. As shown in the below table, growth has been very strong, and revenues are expected to more than double in 2021 and continue to double in 2022. Such growth rates place XPEV at the top end of manufacturing firms, as expected of the fast-growing EV market.</p>\n<p>Another point to note is the improvement in operating margins. As with any \"new tech\" company, initial investments would cause hugely negative operating margins in the beginning. What's important is the company's ability to improve margins and reduce costs over time. In this respect, XPEV has done a good job, with operating margins improving sequentially each quarter. Of note, operating margins started to see major improvements between the Jun-2020 (-142%) and Dec-2020 (-39%) quarters as shown in the table below. Given this trend, the company is likely to breakeven and register positive profits soon, which could be a catalytic re-rating for XPEV. When we pair this analysis with the stock price, it appears that XPEV's recently soft stock price performance is not justified.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the balance sheet is expected to remain strong. Equity to total liabilities &amp; equity is 23% as at Dec-2020. As abovementioned, further capital raises with a forthcoming Hong Kong listing will add to XPEV's cash buffer.</p>\n<p><i>XPEV's performance improvement in both revenue and operating margin trends appear to have been ignored by the market due to recent the broad market capitulation</i></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f8258dce0cc10e8118a23afce7655bed\" tg-width=\"726\" tg-height=\"737\"><span>*EST = estimate by analysts' consensus from SeekingAlpha</span></p>\n<p><b>XPEV's valuation: somewhere in the middle</b></p>\n<p>XPEV's stock price has done well over the last 6 months versus peers. On a TTM P/S, XPEV is near the middle although its FWD P/S is trading at a premium. However, there could be a general re-rating of the P/S of the sector if the Chinese EV manufacturers reach breakeven in 2021 and record positive profits (our base case belief, given the prevailing trend in XPEV's improving operating margins). This will then allow better price discovery when the companies can then be valued on their P/E ratios.</p>\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa975ce545e950a20f809bcc7f698ef6\" tg-width=\"911\" tg-height=\"594\">\n<table>\n <tbody>\n  <tr></tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p><b>Conclusion and Risks</b></p>\n<p>XPEV's stock price may benefit from two key catalysts: (1) expansion of manufacturing facility in Wuhan, which will concretely raise visibility of revenue growth which is expected to double; (2) a valuation regime change as it progresses from a loss making company to a profitable one, expected by this year. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the valuation is not lofty as compared to price levels in 4Q2020, having fallen over the last couple of months.</p>\n<p>Competition may exist and remain intense, but given the large size of China's market and that there are only a couple of notable players (i.e. NIO, LI), the market remains largely an oligopoly which allows XPEV to retain pricing power.</p>\n<p>Much feared risks of execution in the past appear to have materialized but not in a big way, i.e. the previously expected chip shortage. Given the progression to a post-COVID economy, supply chain links should improve and reduce similar risks in the future.</p>\n<p>On a standalone basis, XPEV's prospects appear bright, and now the key hurdle is whether the NASDAQ will find momentum and exceed previous highs. The base case for this should lean towards the positive as the market is merely in the first year of the economic recovery after the pandemic. Recent price consolidation appears to have created a technical setup for a reawakening of price momentum as consumer activity revives post-pandemic.</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>XPeng Inc.: A Reawakening</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\">\nXPeng Inc.: A Reawakening\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-09 23:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4418326-xpeng-inc-reawakening><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nValuation is middling but not overvalued like in the past.\nRecent announcement of capacity expansion in Wuhan lends better operational and sales visibility.\nCompany could breakeven and ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4418326-xpeng-inc-reawakening\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"XPEV":"小鹏汽车"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4418326-xpeng-inc-reawakening","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1142324412","content_text":"Summary\n\nValuation is middling but not overvalued like in the past.\nRecent announcement of capacity expansion in Wuhan lends better operational and sales visibility.\nCompany could breakeven and finally reach positive profits soon; major improvements seen in operating margins.\nFeared chip shortage (i.e. supply disruption) was not a disaster, deliveries are still strong.\n\nPhoto by Robert Way/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nIntroduction\nThe stock price of XPEV has been converging with the performance of the S&P 500 since March 2021, as compared to its massive outperformance in 4Q2020.

The valuations of these companies may even get a boost given greater global liquidity due to added trading in the Asian time zone.\n\nOf note, in late March, XPEV held an autonomous driving expedition covering eight cities in China and 3,675 kilometers. The exercise was successful, as minimal human intervention was needed during the expedition and adds another brownie point to XPEV's research and development efforts, placing XPEV on the competitive landscape against rivals such as TSLA and NIO on autonomous driving. Apparently, XPEV's autonomous driving results performed better than TSLA's with fewer human interventions per 100km and better navigation in complex situations.\nXPEV's improving financials\nNow that we have several quarters of financial data on XPEV, it is worth reviewing how its metrics have been performing. Firstly, market expectations aside, deliveries have been very good as abovementioned, and this is flowing through to revenue numbers. As shown in the below table, growth has been very strong, and revenues are expected to more than double in 2021 and continue to double in 2022. Such growth rates place XPEV at the top end of manufacturing firms, as expected of the fast-growing EV market.\nAnother point to note is the improvement in operating margins. As with any \"new tech\" company, initial investments would cause hugely negative operating margins in the beginning. What's important is the company's ability to improve margins and reduce costs over time. In this respect, XPEV has done a good job, with operating margins improving sequentially each quarter. Of note, operating margins started to see major improvements between the Jun-2020 (-142%) and Dec-2020 (-39%) quarters as shown in the table below. Given this trend, the company is likely to breakeven and register positive profits soon, which could be a catalytic re-rating for XPEV. When we pair this analysis with the stock price, it appears that XPEV's recently soft stock price performance is not justified.\nMeanwhile, the balance sheet is expected to remain strong. Equity to total liabilities & equity is 23% as at Dec-2020. As abovementioned, further capital raises with a forthcoming Hong Kong listing will add to XPEV's cash buffer.\nXPEV's performance improvement in both revenue and operating margin trends appear to have been ignored by the market due to recent the broad market capitulation\n*EST = estimate by analysts' consensus from SeekingAlpha\nXPEV's valuation: somewhere in the middle\nXPEV's stock price has done well over the last 6 months versus peers. On a TTM P/S, XPEV is near the middle although its FWD P/S is trading at a premium. However, there could be a general re-rating of the P/S of the sector if the Chinese EV manufacturers reach breakeven in 2021 and record positive profits (our base case belief, given the prevailing trend in XPEV's improving operating margins). This will then allow better price discovery when the companies can then be valued on their P/E ratios.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConclusion and Risks\nXPEV's stock price may benefit from two key catalysts: (1) expansion of manufacturing facility in Wuhan, which will concretely raise visibility of revenue growth which is expected to double; (2) a valuation regime change as it progresses from a loss making company to a profitable one, expected by this year. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the valuation is not lofty as compared to price levels in 4Q2020, having fallen over the last couple of months.\nCompetition may exist and remain intense, but given the large size of China's market and that there are only a couple of notable players (i.e. NIO, LI), the market remains largely an oligopoly which allows XPEV to retain pricing power.\nMuch feared risks of execution in the past appear to have materialized but not in a big way, i.e. the previously expected chip shortage. Given the progression to a post-COVID economy, supply chain links should improve and reduce similar risks in the future.\nOn a standalone basis, XPEV's prospects appear bright, and now the key hurdle is whether the NASDAQ will find momentum and exceed previous highs. The base case for this should lean towards the positive as the market is merely in the first year of the economic recovery after the pandemic. Recent price consolidation appears to have created a technical setup for a reawakening of price momentum as consumer activity revives post-pandemic.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":274,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3572249185724220","authorId":"3572249185724220","name":"xoxoll","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ed65c2962af2a6fbd414f4d6fe9e378","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3572249185724220","authorIdStr":"3572249185724220"},"content":"Help me like aNd Comment","text":"Help me like aNd Comment","html":"Help me like aNd Comment"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":172968541,"gmtCreate":1626927967983,"gmtModify":1703480771821,"author":{"id":"3574935698617505","authorId":"3574935698617505","name":"rollingmoney","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574935698617505","authorIdStr":"3574935698617505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/172968541","repostId":"1132046331","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1132046331","pubTimestamp":1626925773,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1132046331?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-22 11:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Celebrity Investors Who Broke Buffett’s Investing Tenets — And Scored","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1132046331","media":"investorplace","summary":"Warren Buffett is worth more than $100 billion.

First, we’ve got the (not so mythical) mature unicorn lover Bill Ackman of&nbsp;<b>Pershing Square Tontine Holdings</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PSTH</u></b>). Ackman stands right next tothe “most feared man in corporate America,” celebrity activistJeff Smith of&nbsp;<b>StarboardValue Acquisition</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>SVAC</u></b>).</p>\n<p>No doubt, these three investors have unique personalities. But they also promote three distinct investing styles, which have made an indelible impression on the way we think about a stock’s intrinsic value.</p>\n<p>From hypergrowth, to growth arbitrage, to “SPAC-tivists,” here’s a closer look at the investing psychology behind these investment styles, along with top stock picks. Ultimately, if we pepper a little bit of Cathie, Bill and Jeff into our own stock-picking, we might make some new rules of investing (and break them again later). Hell, putting it all together, we might even get one step closer to that coveted Buffett net worth.</p>\n<p><b>New Investment Styles: The Hypergrowth Investor</b></p>\n<p><b>StyleMessiah:</b>Cathie Wood&nbsp;<b>Investing MO:</b>Early stage growth stories in massive (and rapidly growing) addressable markets</p>\n<p>Aniconoclastic personalityand buzzy social media following earned Wood a Buffett-like fandom. But out-of-this-worldperformance makes Cathie the reigning investment queen. Wood’s flagship exchange-traded fund (ETF), the&nbsp;<b>ARK Innovation Fund</b>(NYSEARCA:<b><u>ARKK</u></b>),holds $22 billion in assets. It also&nbsp;delivered an otherworldly 147% return in 2020.</p>\n<p>Wood made “disruptiveinnovation” a household word. She also invested big (and early) in several massive technology themes — from artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, cybersecurity, blockchain, digital wallets to genomics.</p>\n<p>Many of the “Woodstocks” are aggressive, high-beta stocks which experienced meteoric gains last year. For example,<b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>), a big holding in three of Wood’s funds, gained 510% in 2020. (Side note:reports of TSLA’s imminent demise are greatly exaggerated). Wood predicts the electric car company can double its revenue growth over the next 5 years and willsomeday be valued at over $1 trillion. Other ARK gems include&nbsp;<b>Square</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SQ</u></b>),<b>Teladoc Health</b>(NYSE:<b><u>TDOC</u></b>),<b>Roku</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ROKU</u></b>) and&nbsp;<b>Shopify</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SHOP</u></b>).</p>\n<p><b>Winner Takes Most</b></p>\n<p>Another salient trait: Wood invests in technology leaders in a “winner takes most” market. This gives her the confidence to largely ignore valuation and invest in companies whose profits are years if not decades away. That’s most definitely not something Buffett would do.</p>\n<p>While Cathie’s picks worked amazingly well in 2020, the market has been less kind to emerging growth stocksamid rising interest rates. ARK’s total assets aredown to $52 billion (from $60 billion) — largely reflecting a cooling amid a rotation into value names that will benefit from the economic recovery.ARKK and&nbsp;<b>ARK Next Generation Internet ETF</b>(NYSEARCA:<b><u>ARKW</u></b>) have underperformed the market,down 4% and 2%year to date, respectively (versus a14%gain for the&nbsp;<b>Nasdaq Composite</b>).</p>\n<p>Success has brought about some growing pains. Huge inflows led observers to question ARK’s sizable stakes in small- and mid-cap names and the liquidity of these positions in a downturn.In particular,Wood’s strategy of selling holdings in bigger, more liquid companies during drawdowns and buying less well-traded names fueled fears that ARK would become overexposed to its most speculative bets.Wood has pushed back on concerns about ticket sizes, arguing that the companies she invested in could grow quickly, solving the problem. (Side note: ARKno longer holds a stake bigger than 20% in any stock, down fromthree companiesin February).</p>\n<p><b>A Less-Crowded Easter Egg Hunt</b></p>\n<p>There’s another important bi-product of Cathie’s success: a fairly predictable herd-like chasing behavior.Investors closely follow ARK trades,provided dailya few hours after market close, to see Wood’s endorsements of stocks. That momentum has pushed stocks like data analytics company<b>Palantir</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>) into meme-like territory.</p>\n<p>But when that herding behavior continues, that is,when a group of momentum investors chase the same stocks, it does two things. First, it candrive up the value of stocks without actually analyzing and understanding the underlying valuation of them.Second, it leaves other growth stories relatively undiscovered,like a less crowded Easter Egg hunt. That’s the reason these next two investors are on my radar.</p>\n<p><b>New Investment Styles</b>: The Growth Arbitrage Investor</p>\n<p><b>Style Messiah:</b>Bill Ackman&nbsp;<b>Investing MO:</b>Price dislocation in high-quality businesses with incremental cash flow potential</p>\n<p>Bringing“mature unicorn”&nbsp;back into the investing vernacular while spawninga thousand memes, Bill Ackman has re-defined growth arbitrage investing. Ackman’s SPAC,Pershing Square Tontine Holdingsseeks out investments in durable,proven businesses. These are the kind that Warren Buffett would say have amoataround them. But another facet of PSTH’s picks is that these companies don’t yet have stock prices that reflect their potential.</p>\n<p>Like Wood, Ackman looks for growth — but not at any price. This manager aims for businessestrading at highly discounted valuations — usually because investors have overreacted to negative macro or company-specific events.A key investment theme:finding names whose intrinsic value is driven by<i>cash generation</i>, not future growth projections.</p>\n<p><b>Double Dipping</b></p>\n<p>Just the mention of cash generation might make a lot of self-proclaimed growth investors wince. But for Ackman acolytes, or “Tontards” (as the&nbsp;<b>Reddit</b>&nbsp;crowd calls them), growth and fundamental analysis need not exist separately. In fact, Ackman has shown that buying thesehigh-quality, but mispriced stocks can unlock a<i>double</i>discount. A stock price often doesn’t reflect the intrinsic value of the business. Nor does it often reflect the intrinsic value of the business<i>if it were run better.</i></p>\n<p>Usually, once an Ackman holding makes a few modest tweaks, the business’ earnings and cash flow lever delivers strong upside — and price appreciation for the stock.Take for example, some of Ackman’s mispriced winners like the growth story at&nbsp;<b>Chipotle Mexican Grill</b>(NYSE:<b><u>CMG</u></b>), or successful turnarounds, such as<b>Lowe’s</b>(NYSE:<b><u>LOW</u></b>). Oh, and don’t forget the turnarounds ofleisure travel play&nbsp;<b>Hilton</b>(NYSE:<b><u>HLT</u></b>) and tech giant<b>Agilent</b>(NYSE:<b><u>A</u></b>), either.</p>\n<p>In addition to value unlocking, Ackman’s growth arbitrage investing style has other key advantages. First, the portfolio is shielded from momentum-driven volatility caused by changing investor whims. Whereas a portion of Cathie’s portfolio consists of “fast-money” plays like special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) and electric vehicle companies, whose fortunes can change very quickly, Ackman’s names tend to be owned by investors with a longer-term investment horizon.</p>\n<p>Second, because these businesses are presently delivering cash flow and earnings, their valuations are more insulated against rising interest rates.</p>\n<p><b>Know When to Fold ‘em</b></p>\n<p>While Wood has been criticized for the concentration of her portfolio, Ackman isn’t afraid to take money off the table. In May, PSTH announced it had exited its wildly successful position in&nbsp;<b>Starbucks</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>SBUX</u></b>) to acquire a roughly 6% stake in&nbsp;<b>Domino’s Pizza</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DPZ</u></b>). The thesis: It’s a simple free cash flow business suffering from temporary price dislocation. With a digital delivery infrastructure and the largest owned in-house delivery network, Ackman sees a combination of exceptional economics and the potential for continued share gains.</p>\n<p>For r/PSTH’s16,000-plus Tontards, PSTH stock has been a bumpy ride lately. First there wasAckman’s eyebrow raising decision to use a SPAC to buy a minority stake in another company. This MO didn’t follow the usual SPAC investment pattern, which is to merge with and take its target public. Second, there was this week’s announcement thatPSTH backed out of its deal to buy a 10% stake in mega-music publisher Universal Music Group from<b>Vivendi</b>(OTCMKTS:<b><u>VIVHY</u></b>).The reason:objections from the Securities and Exchange Commission&nbsp;relating to<b>NYSE</b>listing rules.</p>\n<p>Tontards are spinning a positive narrative. PSTH can conserve its firepower for a larger acquisition. While the identity of the SPAC’s merger target is still unknown, payment companies, includingStripe and Plaidhave been mentioned as potential candidates. The increasing valuation for these expensive unicorns could be another reason for PSTH wanting to maximize its $4 billion cash war chest.</p>\n<p><b>New Investment Styles</b>:<b>The ‘SPAC-tivist’</b></p>\n<p><b>Style Messiah:</b>Jeff Smith</p>\n<p><b>Investing MO:</b>Build stakes in undervalued businesses and force operational and/or strategic changes to unlock value</p>\n<p>There’s another investor with aneye for detecting unrealized potential in companies: activist investor and hedge fund manager Jeff Smith. The hedge fund he manages,Starboard Value LP, is known for executing big sweeping changes at its target companies. In 2014, Starboard ousted the entire board of Olive Garden-owner<b>Darden Restaurants</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DRI</u></b>), a stunning shareholder coup. In less than two years, Smith oversaw a stunning turnaround at the company, resulting in a 40% appreciation in Darden’s stock price.</p>\n<p>Starboard builds stakes in undervalued companies with inefficient management. It then forces them to make important operational changes to correct course and unlock value. About 80% of Starboard Value’s activist campaigns have been profitable, while the fund posted annualized returns of 15.5% through 2014. Famous activist targets include&nbsp;<b>The ODP Company</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ODP</u></b>),<b>Macy’s</b>(NYSE:<b><u>M</u></b>) and<b>Papa John’s Pizza</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>PZZA</u></b>).</p>\n<p><b>Finding the Value in Growth</b></p>\n<p>More recently, Smith is trying his hand in SPACs.Starboard Value Acquisition, which raised$360 million in its September 2020 IPO,announced its first merger target, data-center firm Cyxtera Technologies.Formed in 2017, Cyxtera consists of 57 data centers owned by CenturyLink, now known as&nbsp;<b>Lumen Technologies</b>(NYSE:<b><u>LUMN</u></b>), with four cybersecurity and data analytics companies.</p>\n<p>If Ackman mostly hunts for mature unicorns, Smith’s target is on the younger side. Valued at $3.4 billion, Cyxtera is an early stage company in a well-established, rapidly growing market with strong secular tailwinds. Smith’s target could have room to grow from a valuation perspective too.</p>\n<p>In 2020, data center real estate investment trusts ended the year as the best performing REIT sector, accumulating a total of21% annual return. Cyxtera’s closest equivalents,<b>Equinix</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>EQIX</u></b>) and&nbsp;<b>Digital Realty Trust</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DLR</u></b>) command lofty multiples of 31x and 26x forward AFFO (Adjusted Funds From Operations). With improved revenue growth and utilization, Cyxtera may experience a valuation recalibration closer to these peer multiples.</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>3 Celebrity Investors Who Broke Buffett’s Investing Tenets — And Scored</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 Celebrity Investors Who Broke Buffett’s Investing Tenets — And Scored\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-22 11:49 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/07/3-celebrity-investors-broke-buffett-investing-tenets-scored-net-worth/><strong>investorplace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Warren Buffett is worth more than $100 billion.

Huge inflows led observers to question ARK’s sizable stakes in small- and mid-cap names and the liquidity of these positions in a downturn.In particular,Wood’s strategy of selling holdings in bigger, more liquid companies during drawdowns and buying less well-traded names fueled fears that ARK would become overexposed to its most speculative bets.Wood has pushed back on concerns about ticket sizes, arguing that the companies she invested in could grow quickly, solving the problem. (Side note: ARKno longer holds a stake bigger than 20% in any stock, down fromthree companiesin February).\nA Less-Crowded Easter Egg Hunt\nThere’s another important bi-product of Cathie’s success: a fairly predictable herd-like chasing behavior.Investors closely follow ARK trades,provided dailya few hours after market close, to see Wood’s endorsements of stocks. That momentum has pushed stocks like data analytics companyPalantir(NYSE:PLTR) into meme-like territory.\nBut when that herding behavior continues, that is,when a group of momentum investors chase the same stocks, it does two things. First, it candrive up the value of stocks without actually analyzing and understanding the underlying valuation of them.Second, it leaves other growth stories relatively undiscovered,like a less crowded Easter Egg hunt. That’s the reason these next two investors are on my radar.\nNew Investment Styles: The Growth Arbitrage Investor\nStyle Messiah:Bill Ackman Investing MO:Price dislocation in high-quality businesses with incremental cash flow potential\nBringing“mature unicorn” back into the investing vernacular while spawninga thousand memes, Bill Ackman has re-defined growth arbitrage investing. Ackman’s SPAC,Pershing Square Tontine Holdingsseeks out investments in durable,proven businesses. These are the kind that Warren Buffett would say have amoataround them. But another facet of PSTH’s picks is that these companies don’t yet have stock prices that reflect their potential.\nLike Wood, Ackman looks for growth — but not at any price. This manager aims for businessestrading at highly discounted valuations — usually because investors have overreacted to negative macro or company-specific events.A key investment theme:finding names whose intrinsic value is driven bycash generation, not future growth projections.\nDouble Dipping\nJust the mention of cash generation might make a lot of self-proclaimed growth investors wince. But for Ackman acolytes, or “Tontards” (as the Reddit crowd calls them), growth and fundamental analysis need not exist separately. In fact, Ackman has shown that buying thesehigh-quality, but mispriced stocks can unlock adoublediscount. A stock price often doesn’t reflect the intrinsic value of the business. Nor does it often reflect the intrinsic value of the businessif it were run better.\nUsually, once an Ackman holding makes a few modest tweaks, the business’ earnings and cash flow lever delivers strong upside — and price appreciation for the stock.Take for example, some of Ackman’s mispriced winners like the growth story at Chipotle Mexican Grill(NYSE:CMG), or successful turnarounds, such asLowe’s(NYSE:LOW). Oh, and don’t forget the turnarounds ofleisure travel play Hilton(NYSE:HLT) and tech giantAgilent(NYSE:A), either.\nIn addition to value unlocking, Ackman’s growth arbitrage investing style has other key advantages. First, the portfolio is shielded from momentum-driven volatility caused by changing investor whims. Whereas a portion of Cathie’s portfolio consists of “fast-money” plays like special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) and electric vehicle companies, whose fortunes can change very quickly, Ackman’s names tend to be owned by investors with a longer-term investment horizon.\nSecond, because these businesses are presently delivering cash flow and earnings, their valuations are more insulated against rising interest rates.\nKnow When to Fold ‘em\nWhile Wood has been criticized for the concentration of her portfolio, Ackman isn’t afraid to take money off the table. In May, PSTH announced it had exited its wildly successful position in Starbucks(NASDAQ:SBUX) to acquire a roughly 6% stake in Domino’s Pizza(NYSE:DPZ). The thesis: It’s a simple free cash flow business suffering from temporary price dislocation. With a digital delivery infrastructure and the largest owned in-house delivery network, Ackman sees a combination of exceptional economics and the potential for continued share gains.\nFor r/PSTH’s16,000-plus Tontards, PSTH stock has been a bumpy ride lately. First there wasAckman’s eyebrow raising decision to use a SPAC to buy a minority stake in another company. This MO didn’t follow the usual SPAC investment pattern, which is to merge with and take its target public. Second, there was this week’s announcement thatPSTH backed out of its deal to buy a 10% stake in mega-music publisher Universal Music Group fromVivendi(OTCMKTS:VIVHY).The reason:objections from the Securities and Exchange Commission relating toNYSElisting rules.\nTontards are spinning a positive narrative. PSTH can conserve its firepower for a larger acquisition. While the identity of the SPAC’s merger target is still unknown, payment companies, includingStripe and Plaidhave been mentioned as potential candidates. The increasing valuation for these expensive unicorns could be another reason for PSTH wanting to maximize its $4 billion cash war chest.\nNew Investment Styles:The ‘SPAC-tivist’\nStyle Messiah:Jeff Smith\nInvesting MO:Build stakes in undervalued businesses and force operational and/or strategic changes to unlock value\nThere’s another investor with aneye for detecting unrealized potential in companies: activist investor and hedge fund manager Jeff Smith. The hedge fund he manages,Starboard Value LP, is known for executing big sweeping changes at its target companies. In 2014, Starboard ousted the entire board of Olive Garden-ownerDarden Restaurants(NYSE:DRI), a stunning shareholder coup. In less than two years, Smith oversaw a stunning turnaround at the company, resulting in a 40% appreciation in Darden’s stock price.\nStarboard builds stakes in undervalued companies with inefficient management. It then forces them to make important operational changes to correct course and unlock value. About 80% of Starboard Value’s activist campaigns have been profitable, while the fund posted annualized returns of 15.5% through 2014. Famous activist targets include The ODP Company(NASDAQ:ODP),Macy’s(NYSE:M) andPapa John’s Pizza(NASDAQ:PZZA).\nFinding the Value in Growth\nMore recently, Smith is trying his hand in SPACs.Starboard Value Acquisition, which raised$360 million in its September 2020 IPO,announced its first merger target, data-center firm Cyxtera Technologies.Formed in 2017, Cyxtera consists of 57 data centers owned by CenturyLink, now known as Lumen Technologies(NYSE:LUMN), with four cybersecurity and data analytics companies.\nIf Ackman mostly hunts for mature unicorns, Smith’s target is on the younger side. Valued at $3.4 billion, Cyxtera is an early stage company in a well-established, rapidly growing market with strong secular tailwinds. Smith’s target could have room to grow from a valuation perspective too.\nIn 2020, data center real estate investment trusts ended the year as the best performing REIT sector, accumulating a total of21% annual return. Cyxtera’s closest equivalents,Equinix(NASDAQ:EQIX) and Digital Realty Trust(NYSE:DLR) command lofty multiples of 31x and 26x forward AFFO (Adjusted Funds From Operations). With improved revenue growth and utilization, Cyxtera may experience a valuation recalibration closer to these peer multiples.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":346,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":890127739,"gmtCreate":1628087833721,"gmtModify":1703501054738,"author":{"id":"3574935698617505","authorId":"3574935698617505","name":"rollingmoney","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574935698617505","authorIdStr":"3574935698617505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/890127739","repostId":"1187165636","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":325,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":138168158,"gmtCreate":1621918239874,"gmtModify":1704364434645,"author":{"id":"3574935698617505","authorId":"3574935698617505","name":"rollingmoney","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574935698617505","authorIdStr":"3574935698617505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like like like&nbsp;","listText":"Like like like&nbsp;","text":"Like like like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/138168158","repostId":"2137132568","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2137132568","pubTimestamp":1621915020,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2137132568?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-25 11:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"10 Reasons the Cryptocurrency Bubble Is Bursting","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2137132568","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"This might be more than just a \"healthy pullback.\"","content":"<blockquote><b>This might be more than just a \"healthy pullback.\"</b></blockquote><p>For more than 100 years, the stock market has been <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the greatest wealth creators in this country.

While many aren't trading much, if at all, that's an insane number of potential competitors to Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Ethereum, with the likelihood of many more to come.</p><p>In short, the crypto space is constantly being diluted by an unlimited amount of competition.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/614d7f34734e33d740f7f9c02ed3f8fd\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>5. Centralization remains a problem</p><p>One of the many goals of cryptocurrencies is decentralization. This is to ensure that no one person or small group of people controls a network. Yet according to data from BitInfoCharts.com, ownership in Bitcoin and Dogecoin is fairly centralized. Just 2,155 addresses own almost 42% of all Bitcoin, while 66.6% of all outstanding Dogecoin is owned by only 99 addresses. It's possible folks are waking up to the fact that these financial experiments aren't as decentralized as they were intended to be.</p><p>6. Elon Musk is tugging at heartstrings</p><p>Another reason the crypto bubble is bursting is that it's been artificially driven by tweets from <b>Tesla</b>&nbsp;CEO Elon Musk.</p><p>At first, Musk was all aboard the Bitcoin train. He purchased $1.5 billion Bitcoin for Tesla's balance sheet in February and announced that the company would begin accepting Bitcoin for electric vehicle purchases a month later. Then, after 49 days, he tweeted that Tesla would no longer accept Bitcoin because of the adverse environmental impacts of mining it. He's since turned his attention to Dogecoin.</p><p>The fact that tweets with little or no substance are creating and erasing hundreds of billions of dollars in crypto market value would seem to indicate that a bubble has been brewing for some time.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c7f03bc8a60bee0f293f0582f185505\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"474\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>7. Not all governments are OK with crypto</p><p>The crypto bubble is also popping because some governments aren't OK with allowing cryptocurrencies to undermine their own central bank-backed currencies. Last week, China sent the crypto market into a tailspin after prohibiting banks and online payment channels in the country from offering any services related to the cryptocurrency industry. It should be noted that a lot of Bitcoin mining occurs in China.</p><p>And China's far from alone. Turkey recently enacted a ban on crypto payments. Meanwhile, countries including Bolivia, Ecuador, Nigeria, and Algeria have effectively banned digital currencies. This trend makes the global use case for crypto unlikely.</p><p>8. There are no identifiable real-world correlations</p><p>Yet another issue with crypto is there are no readily identifiable real-world correlations.</p><p>For example, we know that gold and the U.S. dollar have an inverse relationship to one another. When the dollar is declining in value, gold is very likely rising in value. This is a correlation that's been established over a long period of time.</p><p>Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin don't have these correlations. Enthusiasts like to point out how crypto is a hedge against inflation, but they forget that Bitcoin has both risen and fallen when the money supply expanded rapidly or slowly. Crypto is driven by emotion and technical analysis, primarily because it has no real-world correlations.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b04ade705354c4825038c4dfcd0187d9\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"500\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><p>9. Leverage is haunting the crypto market</p><p>The cryptocurrency implosion can also be blamed on investors who are over-levered. Some of the most popular crypto exchanges will allow customers to use 50 to 125 times leverage on their actual account equity. While this isn't an uncommon amount of leverage in forex, where currencies move in fractions of a cent, it's absolutely ludicrous for crypto, which can move 3% in the blink of an eye.</p><p>According to data from Bybt.com, via Bloomberg, over 887,000 accounts totaling $9.4 billion in aggregate crypto assets were liquidated as a result of leverage-based margin calls on May 19. Because of this insane leverage, it doesn't take much for things to go south quickly for the crypto market.</p><p>10. Investors always overhype new tech</p><p>Finally, investors frequently overestimate the adoption of new technology. Though there is no shortage of people hyped up about blockchain, it's been more than a half-decade and the blockchain buzz hasn't materialized into meaningful enterprise usage. It takes all next-big-thing technology time to mature, and crypto will be no different.</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>10 Reasons the Cryptocurrency Bubble Is Bursting</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\">\n10 Reasons the Cryptocurrency Bubble Is Bursting\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-25 11:57 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/05/24/10-reasons-the-cryptocurrency-bubble-is-bursting/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>This might be more than just a \"healthy pullback.\"For more than 100 years, the stock market has been one of the greatest wealth creators in this country.

Leverage is haunting the crypto marketThe cryptocurrency implosion can also be blamed on investors who are over-levered. Some of the most popular crypto exchanges will allow customers to use 50 to 125 times leverage on their actual account equity. While this isn't an uncommon amount of leverage in forex, where currencies move in fractions of a cent, it's absolutely ludicrous for crypto, which can move 3% in the blink of an eye.According to data from Bybt.com, via Bloomberg, over 887,000 accounts totaling $9.4 billion in aggregate crypto assets were liquidated as a result of leverage-based margin calls on May 19. Because of this insane leverage, it doesn't take much for things to go south quickly for the crypto market.10. Investors always overhype new techFinally, investors frequently overestimate the adoption of new technology. Though there is no shortage of people hyped up about blockchain, it's been more than a half-decade and the blockchain buzz hasn't materialized into meaningful enterprise usage. It takes all next-big-thing technology time to mature, and crypto will be no different.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":469,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":135277006,"gmtCreate":1622167352405,"gmtModify":1704180732777,"author":{"id":"3574935698617505","authorId":"3574935698617505","name":"rollingmoney","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574935698617505","authorIdStr":"3574935698617505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like like like&nbsp;","listText":"Like like like&nbsp;","text":"Like like like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/135277006","repostId":"1148985369","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":500,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":100460093,"gmtCreate":1619631432612,"gmtModify":1704727131315,"author":{"id":"3574935698617505","authorId":"3574935698617505","name":"rollingmoney","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574935698617505","authorIdStr":"3574935698617505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TIGR\">$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$</a>hodl&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TIGR\">$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$</a>hodl&nbsp;","text":"$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$hodl","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/100460093","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":249,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":899916590,"gmtCreate":1628151193810,"gmtModify":1703502150822,"author":{"id":"3574935698617505","authorId":"3574935698617505","name":"rollingmoney","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574935698617505","authorIdStr":"3574935698617505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/899916590","repostId":"1158747638","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1158747638","pubTimestamp":1628130472,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1158747638?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-05 10:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Apple Stock A Buy Or Sell After Recently Announced Earnings?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1158747638","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nIn last week's earnings release, Apple posted record-setting June quarter results, with tot","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>In last week's earnings release, Apple posted record-setting June quarter results, with total net sales of $81.4 billion, up 36% year-over-year.</li>\n <li>Yet, warnings about supply chain constraints and service revenues returning to more typical levels took its share price by surprise, with a same day drop of as much as 3%.</li>\n <li>However, the headwinds are expected to be temporary with no significant impacts to Apple's long-term growth prospects and valuation.</li>\n <li>Apple is expected to keep delivering unprecedented growth, underpinned by continued global demand for its products and services in the long run.

The Cupertino-based tech giant recorded largest quarterly revenues ever of $81.4 billion, which were up 36% from the prior year and outperformed the average Wall Street forecast of $72.9 billion and our&nbsp;previous coverage&nbsp;projections of $76.5 billion by nearly $10 billion.</p>\n<p>The company also saw robust double-digit growth across the board from products and services to every geographic segment, with the installed base of devices and paid service subscriptions reaching an all-time high; the stellar results were also indicative of increased market penetration with the largest double-digit growth recorded for switchers and upgraders ever for a June-quarter, marking another record-breaking milestone in the books this quarter and continued dominance across all markets for Apple.</p>\n<p>Yet, Apple’s shares slipped as much as 3% following the earnings call and continues to be down close to 1% since July 27th. The stock also has not fared well amongst its FAANG counterparts in recent weeks from the stock sell-off triggered by fear that the latest resurgence of the coronavirus’ delta variant could erode economic growth.</p>\n<p>The contradicting movement in Apple’s share price compared to its stellar June quarter financial results allegedly stemmed from management’s warning of decelerated growth for the upcoming September quarter as lingering supply chain constraints are expected to place an adverse impact on product sales, especially on the revenue-leading iPhone and iPad categories; other headwinds also include weaker FX gains and anticipated slowed growth in the services category as demand returns to pre-pandemic levels following above-normal June quarter results.</p>\n<p>However, we consider anticipated headwinds as only short-term impacts that will not result in permanent losses for the company. The Apple stock remains primed for further upside considering the rising global demand for its products and services. Despite the supply crunch and decelerated growth anticipated for the upcoming September quarter, our outlook remains bullish on Apple with upside of more than 15% based on the last traded share price of $145.52 on August 2nd. With Apple’s stock price still down 0.85% from its earnings call on July 27thand down close to 3% from its mid-July peak, we consider the recent price pullback an advantage slated for long-term gains.</p>\n<p><b>Strength in Overcoming Lost Sales from Supply Constraints</b></p>\n<p>One of the key drivers for slowed growth anticipated for the September quarter is the ongoing chip supply shortage, which had previously caused more pervasive impact to the automotive industry but has now trickled down to consumer electronics. And Apple, who has its proprietary chips made by the world’s largest contract chip manufacturer, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:TSMor “TSMC”), has not been spared from impact, with management warning of a supply constraint for the legacy semiconductor nodes used in the display and audio functions of its best-selling products, which is expected to drive lower sales in the near term.</p>\n<p>TSMC has also warned the chip shortage will likely continue into the&nbsp;following year, which is consistent with the timeline issued across all impacted industries. Although management has not provided a quantified range for the anticipated impact on the September quarter’s results, it is expected to be far more severe than what was experienced in the June quarter, which was on the low end of the $3 billion and $4 billion range estimate provided in April.</p>\n<p>However, the continued acceleration in global demand for iPhones and iPads is expected to more than compensate for the upcoming loss of revenues in later periods as “deferred” sales when raw material supplies return, and pending demand is fulfilled. To date, 97% of customers who have purchased from the iPhone 12 family have indicated appreciation for the enhanced 5G speeds, alongside improved chip technology and camera quality.</p>\n<p>The product category has also seen strong upgrade and switch rates in recent months as users continue their transition from legacy iPhones and other smartphones to the latest and greatest 5G-enabled iPhone. Considering 5G technology is still in early stages of adoption with low penetration rate, there is still significant additional growth opportunities available for the current and future 5G-enabled iPhone models.</p>\n<p>Global demand for 5G-enabled devices is expected to grow at a&nbsp;compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 38% into 2026, which further corroborates the expectation that potential lost sales from the ongoing supply shortage will not be permanent as demand for iPhones will continue to persist at high levels and make-whole lost sales in later periods when chip supplies return. A similar trend is expected for iPad demands in the long run, as it has proven itself during the pandemic to be a versatile and affordable tool to support creativity and social connection.</p>\n<p>The production and sales bottleneck caused by the ongoing global chip supply shortage will only be a temporary pause to Apple’s iPhone and iPad hot streak, which is expected to resume in strength when the supply chain finds alleviation to its current crunch sometime next year. And when this happens, we should be expecting above-normal sales levels underpinned by robust demand, similar to those observed in the June quarter.</p>\n<p><b>Outperforming Competition in the Services Segment with Innovation</b></p>\n<p>Although the above-normal growth in the services business segment observed during the June quarter is expected to revert to more moderated historical levels going forward, Apple has continued to be diligent in rolling out “innovative new features and programming” to increase reach and maintain market dominance in the increasingly competitive landscape.</p>\n<p>Apple’s services business segment – which includes iCloud, Apple TV+, App Store, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, advertising, payment and other service offerings – currently competes head-on with other prominent service providers like Spotify (NYSE:SPOT), Netflix (Nasdaq:NFLX), Amazon.com (Nasdaq:AMZN),Google(Nasdaq:GOOG) (GOOGL) and&nbsp;Facebook(Nasdaq:FB). In order to maintain its established reputation for innovative technology and grow its loyal fanbase, Apple has recently introduced several new upgrades to existing service offerings at its most recent Worldwide Developers Conference (“WWDC”).</p>\n<p>The new exciting features include&nbsp;Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio&nbsp;for Apple Music, which enables an “immersive” listening experience and provides access to the studio quality of original audio files at no additional cost – a competitive advantage to audio streaming leader Spotify’s “HiFi” equivalent, which will likely come at a higher price tag upon launch. And for Apple TV+ – Apple’s gateway to the fast-growing&nbsp;video-streaming&nbsp;market – the company has continued to produce quality programming, which is proven through the&nbsp;35 Emmy Nominations&nbsp;that it has received this year.</p>\n<p>A new generation of the&nbsp;Apple TV, which includes a Siri-enabled remote and enhanced colour balance technology, has also been unveiled to complement its improved programming, which is expected to further enhance customer traction for the segment. The tech giant has also rebranded its iCloud service to&nbsp;iCloud+, with additional upgrades including enhanced privacy features and expanded HomeKit Secure Video support to accompany its suite of smart home devices at no additional costs.</p>\n<p>Other recently launched and enhanced services include Apple Podcast subscriptions, Apple News+ and Apple Fitness+, which could be bundled through Apple One at a discounted subscription rate. The Apple One bundle, which was launched in Q2, has already seen incredible success with increasing adoption rates that continue to drive overall growth within the services business segment.</p>\n<p><b>Overall Financial Prospects</b></p>\n<p>Considering the above analysis on Apple’s current operating environment, the recent headwinds that will drive decelerated growth during the September quarter are expected to be temporary and will be overcome with ease in the long run. Our base case forecast projects total net sales of $85.6 billion for the September quarter, representing 32% year-over-year growth, which is consistent with management’s expectations for strong double-digit year-over-year growth that will be slightly lower than the 36% reported for the June quarter.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/347e1ee20881f92c4563eeeaa5b1963c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"232\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts (Apple_-_Forecasted_Financial_Information.pdf).</span></p>\n<p>Our projected total net sales for the September quarter consist of $67.6 billion in product sales, up 35% from the prior year, and $18.0 billion in service sales, up 24% from the prior year. Altogether, our base case forecast projects total net sales of $368.1 billion for FY 2021, which represents year-over-year growth of 34%. The company’s net sales are expected to maintain accelerated growth at a CAGR of 8% towards $534.4 billion by FY 2026 due to increasing adoption and integration of technology and digital media into both professional and personal aspects of day-to-day routines.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/179a3a17abb5e6e4e0cb20196095a5eb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"200\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts.</span></p>\n<p>Gross profit margins are projected at 41.7% for the September quarter, which is consistent with management’s guidance of approximately 41.5% to 42.5% considering the higher freight costs expected for this quarter, offset by an overall decline in component supply costs as product sales continue to scale.</p>\n<p>Total operating expenses are projected at $11.4 billion for the fiscal year’s fourth quarter, which consists of $6.0 billion related to research and development efforts, and $5.4 billion related to selling, general and administrative expenses; this is consistent with Apple’s cost structure observed in recent periods, and in line with the estimated range of $11.3 billion and $11.5 billion provided in management’s guidance.</p>\n<p>As a result, our base case forecast projects total cost of sales of $214.5 billion, and total operating expenses of $43.9 billion for FY 2021. And a similar cost structure is expected to apply into FY 2026 to support Apple’s continued growth in its products and services categories, as well as across all geographic segments in which it currently operates in.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/631897e055a326e11a137bad234bd0c9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"200\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts.</span></p>\n<p>Altogether, our base case forecast projects FY 2021 net income of $94.8 billion, which represents year-over-year growth of 65%.

Our valuation analysis also assumes a 19.7x EV/EBITDA multiple, which is in line with guideline public companies and precedent transactions within Apple’s industry peer group, and is reflective of current market expectations for Apple’s business growth potential in the long run.</p>\n<p><i>i.

As such, we do not consider the near-term impacts related to supply constraints, moderated services segment revenues, and unfavourable FX a catalyst for permanent loss to Apple’s valuation.</p>\n<p><i>i.

Although management has not provided a quantified range for the anticipated impact on the September quarter’s results, it is expected to be far more severe than what was experienced in the June quarter, which was on the low end of the $3 billion and $4 billion range estimate provided in April.\nHowever, the continued acceleration in global demand for iPhones and iPads is expected to more than compensate for the upcoming loss of revenues in later periods as “deferred” sales when raw material supplies return, and pending demand is fulfilled. To date, 97% of customers who have purchased from the iPhone 12 family have indicated appreciation for the enhanced 5G speeds, alongside improved chip technology and camera quality.\nThe product category has also seen strong upgrade and switch rates in recent months as users continue their transition from legacy iPhones and other smartphones to the latest and greatest 5G-enabled iPhone. Considering 5G technology is still in early stages of adoption with low penetration rate, there is still significant additional growth opportunities available for the current and future 5G-enabled iPhone models.\nGlobal demand for 5G-enabled devices is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 38% into 2026, which further corroborates the expectation that potential lost sales from the ongoing supply shortage will not be permanent as demand for iPhones will continue to persist at high levels and make-whole lost sales in later periods when chip supplies return. A similar trend is expected for iPad demands in the long run, as it has proven itself during the pandemic to be a versatile and affordable tool to support creativity and social connection.\nThe production and sales bottleneck caused by the ongoing global chip supply shortage will only be a temporary pause to Apple’s iPhone and iPad hot streak, which is expected to resume in strength when the supply chain finds alleviation to its current crunch sometime next year. And when this happens, we should be expecting above-normal sales levels underpinned by robust demand, similar to those observed in the June quarter.\nOutperforming Competition in the Services Segment with Innovation\nAlthough the above-normal growth in the services business segment observed during the June quarter is expected to revert to more moderated historical levels going forward, Apple has continued to be diligent in rolling out “innovative new features and programming” to increase reach and maintain market dominance in the increasingly competitive landscape.\nApple’s services business segment – which includes iCloud, Apple TV+, App Store, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, advertising, payment and other service offerings – currently competes head-on with other prominent service providers like Spotify (NYSE:SPOT), Netflix (Nasdaq:NFLX), Amazon.com (Nasdaq:AMZN),Google(Nasdaq:GOOG) (GOOGL) and Facebook(Nasdaq:FB). In order to maintain its established reputation for innovative technology and grow its loyal fanbase, Apple has recently introduced several new upgrades to existing service offerings at its most recent Worldwide Developers Conference (“WWDC”).\nThe new exciting features include Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio for Apple Music, which enables an “immersive” listening experience and provides access to the studio quality of original audio files at no additional cost – a competitive advantage to audio streaming leader Spotify’s “HiFi” equivalent, which will likely come at a higher price tag upon launch. And for Apple TV+ – Apple’s gateway to the fast-growing video-streaming market – the company has continued to produce quality programming, which is proven through the 35 Emmy Nominations that it has received this year.\nA new generation of the Apple TV, which includes a Siri-enabled remote and enhanced colour balance technology, has also been unveiled to complement its improved programming, which is expected to further enhance customer traction for the segment. The tech giant has also rebranded its iCloud service to iCloud+, with additional upgrades including enhanced privacy features and expanded HomeKit Secure Video support to accompany its suite of smart home devices at no additional costs.\nOther recently launched and enhanced services include Apple Podcast subscriptions, Apple News+ and Apple Fitness+, which could be bundled through Apple One at a discounted subscription rate. The Apple One bundle, which was launched in Q2, has already seen incredible success with increasing adoption rates that continue to drive overall growth within the services business segment.\nOverall Financial Prospects\nConsidering the above analysis on Apple’s current operating environment, the recent headwinds that will drive decelerated growth during the September quarter are expected to be temporary and will be overcome with ease in the long run. Our base case forecast projects total net sales of $85.6 billion for the September quarter, representing 32% year-over-year growth, which is consistent with management’s expectations for strong double-digit year-over-year growth that will be slightly lower than the 36% reported for the June quarter.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts (Apple_-_Forecasted_Financial_Information.pdf).\nOur projected total net sales for the September quarter consist of $67.6 billion in product sales, up 35% from the prior year, and $18.0 billion in service sales, up 24% from the prior year. Altogether, our base case forecast projects total net sales of $368.1 billion for FY 2021, which represents year-over-year growth of 34%. The company’s net sales are expected to maintain accelerated growth at a CAGR of 8% towards $534.4 billion by FY 2026 due to increasing adoption and integration of technology and digital media into both professional and personal aspects of day-to-day routines.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts.\nGross profit margins are projected at 41.7% for the September quarter, which is consistent with management’s guidance of approximately 41.5% to 42.5% considering the higher freight costs expected for this quarter, offset by an overall decline in component supply costs as product sales continue to scale.\nTotal operating expenses are projected at $11.4 billion for the fiscal year’s fourth quarter, which consists of $6.0 billion related to research and development efforts, and $5.4 billion related to selling, general and administrative expenses; this is consistent with Apple’s cost structure observed in recent periods, and in line with the estimated range of $11.3 billion and $11.5 billion provided in management’s guidance.\nAs a result, our base case forecast projects total cost of sales of $214.5 billion, and total operating expenses of $43.9 billion for FY 2021. And a similar cost structure is expected to apply into FY 2026 to support Apple’s continued growth in its products and services categories, as well as across all geographic segments in which it currently operates in.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts.\nAltogether, our base case forecast projects FY 2021 net income of $94.8 billion, which represents year-over-year growth of 65%. The bottom line is forecasted for further growth at a CAGR of 7% into the next five years, resulting in projected net income of $132.5 billion by 2026.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts.\ni. Base Case Financial Projections:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts.\nAAPL Stock Valuation\nOur revised price target for Apple based on updated information from its recent earnings release is $170.91. This represents upside potential of 17.4% based on the last traded share price of $145.52 on August 2nd.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nTo arrive at the $170.91 price target, we have applied a WACC of 8% to discount Apple’s projected free cash flows over a five-year discrete period; the WACC is consistent with Apple’s current risk profile and capital structure, which includes its latest four-part debt offering to taling $6.5 billion. Our valuation analysis also assumes a 19.7x EV/EBITDA multiple, which is in line with guideline public companies and precedent transactions within Apple’s industry peer group, and is reflective of current market expectations for Apple’s business growth potential in the long run.\ni. Base Case Valuation Analysis:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nIn order to validate our foregoing analysis that the adverse impacts to sales resulting from supply constraints, moderated services segment revenues and less favourable FX are only temporary and will not materially change Apple’s upside potential, we have also performed a sensitivity analysis to quantify the impact to FY 2021 revenues needed to decrease our base case price target of $170.91 by 10%.\nBased on our sensitivity analysis, FY 2021 revenues of $301.5 billion with growth at a CAGR of 10% into 2026, while holding all other valuation assumptions (i.e. cost structure, WACC, EV/EBITDA multiple) discussed above constant, would result in a price target of $153.82, which is 10% lower than our base case price target of $170.91.\nConsidering year-to-date total net sales of $282.5 billion, Apple would only need to achieve total net sales of $19.0 billion for the September quarter to maintain a projected equity value of $2.5 trillion or $153.82 per share, which is highly unlikely even under supply constraint pressures and reduced services segment sales based on the company’s current growth trajectory. As such, we do not consider the near-term impacts related to supply constraints, moderated services segment revenues, and unfavourable FX a catalyst for permanent loss to Apple’s valuation.\ni. Revenue Sensitivity Analysis:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nConclusion - Is AAPL Stock A Good Buy?\nConsidering Apple’s growth prospects, the recent price pullback makes a great buy opportunity for those looking to participate in the company’s long-term gains. The near-term headwinds related to industry-wide supply constraints and normalized services segment revenues are not expected to materially change Apple’s growth trajectory nor valuation in the long run.\nAny lost revenues in the September quarter will very likely be recouped when the supply chain restores its balance, considering the continued surge in demand for iPhones and iPads underpinned by ongoing 5G transition and the increasing need for versatile portable smart devices to enable online access at all times. As a global industry leader with successes achieved to date that very few could match, Apple is poised for further upside realization in the long run.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":243,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":800927795,"gmtCreate":1627273483317,"gmtModify":1703486489879,"author":{"id":"3574935698617505","authorId":"3574935698617505","name":"rollingmoney","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574935698617505","authorIdStr":"3574935698617505"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pump","listText":"Pump","text":"Pump","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/800927795","repostId":"1100772026","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1100772026","pubTimestamp":1627254622,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1100772026?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-26 07:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple, Tesla, Amazon, Pfizer, and Other Stocks to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1100772026","media":"Barrons","summary":"It’s the busiest week of second-quarter earnings season.

The conglomerate also revealed three new buys that it snapped up in secret.</p><p>Berkshire bought stock in Verizon Communications Inc., insurance broker Marsh &amp; McLennan Cos. and Chevron Corp., bets that were granted confidential status and not revealed in a third-quarter regulatory filing, according to an updated document released Tuesday. The news of the investments sent the shares of those three companies up in after-market trading.</p><p>The Apple stake reduction left Berkshire with a holding valued at about $120 billion at the end of 2020, according to another&nbsp;filing. The iPhone maker remains Berkshire’s biggest single stock holding.</p><p>Buffett and his investment deputies, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, reshaped the portfolio over the last year as the coronavirus pandemic struck the U.S. The company was heavily invested in the banking sector, which has done well in the pandemic but is exposed to consumer finances and commercial real estate. The conglomerate has spent recent months lightening up on some of those lenders, while maintaining bets on firms such as Bank of America Corp.</p><p>Berkshire cut a few bank holdings, exiting JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co., PNC Financial Services Group Inc. and M&amp;T Bank Corp. while slashing its Wells Fargo &amp; Co. stake by 59%. The company also shifted recent bets on drugmakers by increasing a stake in Merck &amp; Co Inc., Abbvie Inc. and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. It ended a recent investment in Pfizer Inc.</p><p>Berkshire&nbsp;exited&nbsp;a bet on Barrick Gold Corp. The investment was a surprise when it was revealed last year, given Buffett’s years of chiding the precious metal. The company also trimmed an investment in General Motors Co., cutting that holding to a stake valued at roughly $3 billion at the end of the fourth quarter.</p><p>Some of the new stakes were sizable.

The conglomerate also revealed three new buys that it snapped up in secret.Berkshire bought stock in Verizon Communications Inc., insurance broker Marsh & McLennan Cos. and Chevron Corp., bets that were granted confidential status and not revealed in a third-quarter regulatory filing, according to an updated document released Tuesday. The news of the investments sent the shares of those three companies up in after-market trading.The Apple stake reduction left Berkshire with a holding valued at about $120 billion at the end of 2020, according to another filing. The iPhone maker remains Berkshire’s biggest single stock holding.Buffett and his investment deputies, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, reshaped the portfolio over the last year as the coronavirus pandemic struck the U.S. The company was heavily invested in the banking sector, which has done well in the pandemic but is exposed to consumer finances and commercial real estate. The conglomerate has spent recent months lightening up on some of those lenders, while maintaining bets on firms such as Bank of America Corp.Berkshire cut a few bank holdings, exiting JPMorgan Chase & Co., PNC Financial Services Group Inc. and M&T Bank Corp. while slashing its Wells Fargo & Co. stake by 59%. The company also shifted recent bets on drugmakers by increasing a stake in Merck & Co Inc., Abbvie Inc. and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. It ended a recent investment in Pfizer Inc.Berkshire exited a bet on Barrick Gold Corp. The investment was a surprise when it was revealed last year, given Buffett’s years of chiding the precious metal. The company also trimmed an investment in General Motors Co., cutting that holding to a stake valued at roughly $3 billion at the end of the fourth quarter.Some of the new stakes were sizable. Berkshire held an investment in Chevron valued at nearly $4.1 billion at the end of 2020, while its Marsh & McLennan bet was valued at $499 million.
