Other AI stocks had racked up huge gains: Super Micro Computer was up 318%; Nvidia, 84%; Arm Holdings, 85%; Dell Technologies, 44%; and Palantir Technologies, 46%.Investors will get new insights into the Adobe story when the company reports its financial results after the close of trading Thursday.For the February quarter, Adobe has projected revenue of $5.1 billion to $5.15 billion, with an adjusted profit of $4.35 to $4.40 a share. The consensus calls among Wall Street analysts tracked by FactSet are for revenue of $5.14 billion and an adjusted profit of $4.38 a share.The company expects revenue from its digital-media segment of between $3.77 billion and $3.82 billion, while the Street sees $3.79 billion. Management expects revenue from the digital-experience segment of $1.27 billion to $1.29 billion, a call that more or less matches the Street consensus for $1.28 billion.Adobe also has projected net new digital-media annualized recurring revenue—a closely watched measure of the growth of the company’s subscription business—of $410 million.For the May quarter, Street consensus estimates call for revenue of $5.31 billion, including $3.9 billion from the digital-media segment and $1.33 billion from the digital experience segment. The adjusted profit is expected to come in at $4.38 a share.For the November 2024 fiscal year, Adobe’s guidance calls for revenue of $21.3 billion to $21.5 billion, digital-media revenue of $15.75 billion to $15.85 billion, digital-experience revenue of $5.275 billion to $5.375 billion, and net new digital-media annual recurring revenue of about $1.9 billion. The company sees full-year profits on an adjusted basis of $17.60 to $18 a share.RBC Capital analyst Matthew Swanson, who rates the stock at Outperform with a target of $650 for the price, said in a research note that he expects solid results. Annualized recurring revenue from digital media could come in higher than expected, he said.While Swanson thinks the numbers should be positive, what will really matter will be the underlying drivers of the results, he said. In particular, the RBC analyst said, investors want to see “the incremental benefit from GenAI models and runway for future model rollouts particularly video, which has become a growing topic of investor interest following competitive product launches.” Sora is the biggest concern.“This feels like a similar conversation to the one we were having about generative images a year ago, and would expect management to emphasize their focus on delivering an integrated enterprise-grade solution as opposed to being first to market,” Swanson wrote.Citi analyst Tyler Radke has a Neutral rating on Adobe shares, and recently trimmed his target for the stock price to $628, from $632. He also sees a respectable quarter for Adobe, aided by price increases and “solid new user acquisitions.”But he too noted that the OpenAI Sora launch has been weighing on Adobe shares. “We believe the industry developments are unlikely to have a near-term impact on numbers, though we do see greater long-term competitive uncertainty,” Radke wrote. He said he sees risks that Gen AI-driven competition could pressure the stock’s price relative to earnings over time.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":37,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":284211368734872,"gmtCreate":1710403566457,"gmtModify":1710403569861,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tough biz","listText":"Tough biz","text":"Tough biz","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/284211368734872","repostId":"2419993669","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2419993669","pubTimestamp":1710403450,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2419993669?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2024-03-14 16:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Fisker Plunged 45% after Preparing for Possible Bankruptcy Filing","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2419993669","media":"The Wall Street Journal","summary":"Company has struggled with growing its sales amid stagnant EV demand in the U.S.Instead of building a factory and employing workers, Fisker outsourced production of the Ocean SUV.Electric-vehicle star","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Company has struggled with growing its sales amid stagnant EV demand in the U.S.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/46778567342a41beac489676377fd7b9\" title=\"Instead of building a factory and employing workers, Fisker outsourced production of the Ocean SUV.\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"447\"/><span>Instead of building a factory and employing workers, Fisker outsourced production of the Ocean SUV.</span></p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Electric-vehicle startup Fisker has hired restructuring advisers to assist with a possible bankruptcy filing, according to people familiar with the matter.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Fisker, which recently warned that it risked running out of cash this year, hired financial adviser FTI Consulting and the law firmDavis Polkto work on a potential filing, the people said.

The layoffs have affected hundreds of employees within the Voice Assistant unit; hardware teams responsible for Pixel, Nest and Fitbit products; and a considerable portion of the augmented reality (AR) team. This move is part of Google’s broader effort to streamline operations and align resources with its most significant product priorities.</p><p>According to The Verge, the total number is in the thousands. This comes at a time when Google parent, Alphabet Inc., reported record profits in late January. The company reported $20.4 billion in net income in Q4.</p><p>The ad sales team has seen a reduction, specifically targeting the Large Customer Sales (LCS) unit, which is responsible for selling ads to large businesses. The restructuring aims to focus more on the Google Customer Solutions (GCS) team, which deals with smaller business clients, indicating a strategic shift in Google’s approach to ad sales.</p><p>The layoffs have sparked widespread concern among Google employees, not just about job security but also about the ethical implications of their work, especially as the company continues to invest heavily in advancing AI technology. There’s a growing apprehension that the push towards automation and AI could eventually lead to further job replacements, adding to the existing anxiety over layoffs.</p><p>According to a recently leaked memo, AI is the #1 focus for Google going into 2024. Specifically, Sundar Pichai, Google&#39;s CEO, full list of goals for 2024 include: </p><ol start=\"1\" style=\"\"><li><p>Deliver the world&#39;s most advanced, safe, and responsible Al </p></li><li><p>Improve knowledge, learning, creativity and productivity </p></li><li><p>Build the most helpful personal computing platforms and devices. </p></li><li><p>Enable organizations and developers to innovate on Google Cloud </p></li><li><p>Provide the world&#39;s most trusted products and platforms </p></li><li><p>Build a Google that&#39;s extraordinary for Googlers and the world </p></li><li><p>Improve company velocity, efficiency and productivity and deliver durable cost savings</p></li></ol><p>This situation has significantly affected employee morale, with many feeling disillusioned about their future at the company, according to Inc. The layoffs and the strategic emphasis on AI development have led to a sense of cynicism and burnout among the workforce, exacerbated by the fear of being replaced by the very technologies they are helping to create.</p><p>Late last year, there were already worries within the company that AI was going to begin replacing employees at Alphabet. Futurism reported late last year the technology giant has already begun the process of replacing some jobs with AI tools developed internally.

With the backing of solid profit margins, it can afford to undercut competitors, especially in the Developed World, most of which are still struggling to produce &amp; sell EVs at a profit. Europe might emerge as an exception, where Tesla bet on producing its cars in Germany, while much of its German &amp; Chinese competition is building up capacity in Hungary where there is a clear comparative advantage in labor, energy, and government taxation costs. Lower production costs mean those companies that are investing heavily in EV production capacity in Hungary and other Eastern EU states, are increasingly in a position to engage in price discounting to counter anything that Tesla may try to do. Tesla is losing ground to its competition in Europe within the EV market this decade and it may continue to do so going forward. Using the European market as a case study, we can conclude that Tesla&#39;s future outlook in terms of sales looks set to be one of moderate growth, which does not support current P/E valuations. As such, I see Tesla stock trading in the $100/share to $300/share range for the foreseeable future.</p><h2 id=\"id_1309905219\">Tesla&#39;s Q4 results:</h2><p>For the fourth quarter of 2023, Tesla saw an increase in revenues of 3%, to $25.17 billion. It is nowhere near the growth levels one might expect from a company that currently has a forward P/E ratio of about 60, in other words, about two and a half times higher than the S&amp;P index. The net income attributable to shareholders increased by 115%, to $7.93 billion, which does partially justify continuing to have Tesla stock trading at a P/E ratio that is priced for growth. It should also be noted that profit margins were healthy, with net earnings at 31.5% of revenues. It is an enviable level of profitability, even as many car companies are still trying to figure out how to profitable sell EVs.</p><p>Growth in vehicle deliveries was significant, with a 13% increase in deliveries in Q4, 2023, compared with Q4, 2022. The reason why it did not translate into a corresponding increase in revenues is in large part due to a decline in the average price of Tesla cars sold. One factor was Tesla&#39;s policy of discounting its cars to start fighting for market share.</p><h2 id=\"id_992608232\">How Tesla compares to peers in terms of EV market share in Europe:</h2><p>Tesla is currently far from being the most dominant EV maker &amp; seller in Europe.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac6840add1d1bebfcbadc9bd2c66e8fe\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"387\"/></p><p>Data source: InsideEVs</p><p>It is notably beating European luxury carmakers like Mercedes (OTCPK:MBGYY) &amp; BMW (OTCPK:BMWYY), both of which I expected to do a lot better in the EV sector, given that they are already catering to the same income demographic that tends to buy EVs. Both of those companies are in the process of taking part in what is shaping up to become a marriage made in Hungary, between European carmakers and Asian EV battery producers, which they hope to help them conquer the European EV market.</p><h2 id=\"id_3767111978\">Tesla&#39;s potential production cost disadvantage in Europe, as competitors flock to more cost-effective places.</h2><p>Hungary is emerging as a world leader in EV battery production, thanks to Asian investments and it is also seeing massive inflows of investments in EV assembly plants.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1233a735987e2b442441687f155a5cde\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"342\"/></p><p>Visual Capitalist</p><p>With new investments such as CATL in the pipeline, Hungary will probably maintain its role as Europe&#39;s largest EV battery producer for the foreseeable future, and with that, it will also play a significant role as an EV manufacturing hub. None of this happened accidentally. Hungary offers significant advantages, especially for manufacturing enterprises.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Corporate taxes.</p></li></ul><p>Hungary&#39;s current corporate tax rate is the lowest in the EU, while Germany&#39;s is the second-highest in Europe.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9a660b9f55f712607baf3c19e2cb96d7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"477\"/></p><p>Tax Foundation</p><p>It is difficult to quantify just how great of an impact corporate tax rates will have on producing and selling an EV. We should keep in mind that those lower corporate tax rates work their way through the entire supply chain that supports the final assembly of EVs.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Energy costs.</p></li></ul><p>Hungary is one of the lower-cost places in terms of energy prices, while Germany is among the highest in the non-household segment of the economy.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0412959ad59d4e5f8d5bdf8991fa1357\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"433\"/></p><p>EC</p><p>The difference in electricity costs for non-household consumers may not be great, but it is yet another cost advantage that German car manufacturers, as well as now BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF) are looking to take advantage of. These costs also work throughout the supply chain.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Labor costs.</p></li></ul><p>When most people think of outsourcing, within the European context from Western Europe toward the Eastern part of the EU, labor costs tend to come to mind instantly. There is no significant advantage that Hungary has over its immediate neighbors, such as Slovakia or Romania in this regard. Average gross wages in Hungary are about 3 times lower than they are in Germany. That is a significant difference. It is hard to accurately quantify what all these savings mean for Germany&#39;s automakers, in particular when it comes to producing EVs at a cost advantage relative to Tesla. A decade-old estimate from Mercedes (OTCPK:MBGAF) suggests that at least back then the savings per vehicle produced in Hungary were as high as 30% of total production costs. Much has changed since then, including a narrowing in the wage gap. On the other hand, energy prices increased more dramatically in Germany over the past few years.</p><h2 id=\"id_3913002019\">German EV manufacturers to produce models that directly compete with Tesla models in Hungary. BYD joins the trend.</h2><ul style=\"\"><li><p>BMW&#39;s Hungary EV &amp; new generation battery plant.</p></li></ul><p>BMW is set to produce some of the models that compete with Tesla&#39;s Model Y at its new plant in Hungary by the end of next year. A successor to the BMW iX3 is one of the models that BMW plans to produce there. The successor version of the model will feature BMW&#39;s in-house battery, which is supposed to provide 30% faster charging, as well as up to 30% more range. Its current range of 240 miles could thus get a significant boost that will take it above 300 miles. It remains to be seen whether or not the price will also be lowered. It currently sells at just under $90,000 for the base model, versus Tesla&#39;s model Y which sells at a starting price of $46,000. BMW has a long way to go to close that price gap, but it is possible that with the cost savings related to producing its cars in Hungary, it will be able to significantly lower the price, even as it improves on performance.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Mercedes &amp; Audi have a long-established presence in Hungary that is now being retooled for EV production.</p></li></ul><p>Mercedes &amp; Audi have a well-established presence in Hungary. Mercedes decided to use a flex plant model, where it can easily switch between producing EVs or conventional cars. The electric EQB SUV with a range of 240 miles, starts at $53,900 and is being manufactured in Hungary. It is price-competitive compared with Tesla&#39;s Model Y, but it lacks a bit of range, which seems to be at the heart of the lack of success that Mercedes is seeing in the EV market. Volkswagen&#39;s (OTCPK:VLKAF) Audi Q4 and other Volkswagen group EV models have electric motors built in Hungary, which helps it save money on labor, taxes, and energy costs.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Tesla&#39;s main global competitor looks to compete in Europe.</p></li></ul><p>BYD seems to have the same idea as German EV makers, given that it recently announced plans to build its first EV assembly plant in Hungary. It could be argued that it might be a way to simply try to maximize profits for BYD and all other companies that are converging on the one country that seems to have had a longer-term vision of catering to the EV industry. The profit motive may be the primary driver of EV producers and battery manufacturers converging to the place where they can be arguably the most cost-effective in Europe. If or when the battle for EV market share in Europe intensifies, Tesla&#39;s main competitors seem to be well-positioned to compete. Tesla&#39;s decision to assemble its cars in Germany on the other hand may have lessened its ability to do in Europe what it has done for most of the past decade, namely outcompete its Western market competitors, even as it became a highly profitable company.</p><h2 id=\"id_34294936\">Investment implications.</h2><ul style=\"\"><li><p>The reasoning behind the upgrade from sell to hold.</p></li></ul><p>I bought Tesla stock last year at just over $120/share and sold once it reached $195, as I pointed out in an article at the beginning of 2023. My current upgrade to a hold from a sell back then is by no means a reflection of a change in my overall view in terms of performance expectations. The only difference is that back in February 2023 Tesla stock was on an upswing, so an opportunity arose to take profits, while now it is on a downswing, thus I am looking for the price to be right once again to get back in. In other words, it is now once again a stock of interest that I am watching, thus the upgrade.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9a84f3f37ea44b119547890fb618d249\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"300\"/></p><p>Tesla stock price &amp; other metrics (Seeking Alpha)</p><p>I missed out last year as it went as high as over $290/share, however as I write this, Tesla stock trades just slightly below my exit price point, therefore holding would not have earned me any extra gains on the trade as of right now. I am currently looking to start buying Tesla stock again if it drops below $150 or so, which is when the P/E ratio will start to resemble reasonable fundamentals of the company as I perceive them. As we can see, even after the recent decline in its stock price, Tesla stock is still trading at about twice the P/E valuation of the overall market.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Tesla&#39;s higher P/E relative to peers may be partially justified.</p></li></ul><p>One of the bear cases that can be made for Tesla is the massive discrepancy between its P/E and that of its automotive industry peers. For instance, BMW, which I foresee as becoming a major competitor in Europe for EV market share, especially within the luxury segment, has a forward P/E of only about 5.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7567bb386700b0fdd838954a08c54b79\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"298\"/></p><p>BMW stock and other financial metrics (Seeking Alpha)</p><p>It also offers a very generous dividend yield of about 8.7%, which in theory should justify a higher P/E. The difference is that BMW is far from being a growth stock. It may increase EV sales in the future, but it will likely come at a cost, with conventional car sales set to decline.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f594f20e057e1552635b045b4d027067\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"481\"/></p><p>BMW</p><p>As we can see, yearly sales have been holding flat in the past years. My personal view is that the EU EV transition plan to 2035 will lead to an overall decline in European car sales. BMW might see a net decline in total sales as a result, even though comparatively speaking it might emerge as one of the least-impacted European automakers, as I pointed out in an article in 2022. I do not think that Tesla&#39;s growth prospects justify a P/E ratio that is about 12 times higher than BMW&#39;s, but its growth profile, versus the no growth profile of BMW, does justify a significantly higher P/E valuation.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Tesla lost EV market share in Europe this decade.</p></li></ul><p>With my analysis of Tesla&#39;s situation in Europe in mind, my perception of Tesla&#39;s overall fundamentals is that it is maturing into a solid company within the global auto industry, with strong profit margins, as well as the potential for continued moderate long-term sales growth.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/39963958b96b9010c8d857993df69b89\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"321\"/></p><p>Data sources: Good car bad car.net, InsideEVs</p><p>As we can see, Tesla continues to capture more of the total automotive market share in Europe, together with the rest of the EV industry. Even as the EV industry slowed significantly in 2023 in terms of increasing its automotive sector market share, Tesla still managed to significantly increase its market share. That may not necessarily be an indication of how things will go this year and beyond, because as I pointed out, most of its competitors are gearing up to compete more intensely. Furthermore, looking at a multi-year performance, for instance, from 2019 until the present, the overall EV industry in Europe outperformed Tesla. Tesla&#39;s share of the European auto market grew about four-fold in the period, while the overall share of the EV industry grew about seven-fold, as the chart shows. In other words, this decade, Tesla is underperforming the overall European EV market in terms of sales growth.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>The size of the global luxury car market is limited and Tesla already plays a sizable role, therefore it is unclear how much more of it is up for grabs.</p></li></ul><p>It should also be noted that all of Tesla&#39;s current models target the luxury car segment in terms of potential consumers, which is as true in Europe as it is in the US or China. The total global luxury car market is estimated to be $655 billion as of 2023. Tesla is already about 13% of the global luxury car market, based on its total automotive revenues of $82.42 billion in 2023. It is questionable just how much further that market share can be expanded.</p><p>Europe&#39;s luxury carmakers are gearing up to fight for market share by keeping manufacturing costs low, as I thoroughly examined in this article. Elsewhere, competition will continue to be fierce as well, especially given that the luxury segment tends to be where the profits are for EV makers. We should not write off the ICE-powered cars from retaining a significant portion of the global luxury car segment, as well as the European car market. Many luxury car enthusiasts continue to prefer it to electric.</p><p>The global luxury car market will probably continue to expand, although it might disappoint current expectations of it reaching the trillion-dollar mark by the end of the decade. Tesla&#39;s sales growth may increasingly reflect the growth in the global luxury car market, as well as the growth of the EV segment within the overall luxury car market. I expect EVs to become dominant within the luxury car segment worldwide, perhaps by the end of the decade, whereas as of 2022, they captured about 30% of the luxury car market.</p><h2 id=\"id_1663658810\">Conclusion:</h2><p>Within this context, I expect Tesla&#39;s shares to mostly trade between $100/share and $300/share for the foreseeable future. Buyers will flock to it as it approaches $100/share, where its valuation will look increasingly reasonable, and sell as it approaches $300/share, where it will look increasingly out of step in terms of its fundamentals. For reference, with all else held equal, If Tesla stock were to trade at $100/share, its P/E ratio would drop to about 31, just slightly above the S&amp;P 500 P/E ratio currently at just over 26. Based on my view, I see Tesla&#39;s P/E ratio approaching the market&#39;s average P/E as a likely bottom, namely that most investors would choose Tesla over owning the broader market, once P/E ratios converge. It was the same reasoning that led me to buy Tesla stock early last year as it went to $120/share.

With the backing of solid profit margins, it can afford to undercut competitors, especially in the Developed World, most of which are still struggling to produce & sell EVs at a profit. Europe might emerge as an exception, where Tesla bet on producing its cars in Germany, while much of its German & Chinese competition is building up capacity in Hungary where there is a clear comparative advantage in labor, energy, and government taxation costs. Lower production costs mean those companies that are investing heavily in EV production capacity in Hungary and other Eastern EU states, are increasingly in a position to engage in price discounting to counter anything that Tesla may try to do. Tesla is losing ground to its competition in Europe within the EV market this decade and it may continue to do so going forward. Using the European market as a case study, we can conclude that Tesla's future outlook in terms of sales looks set to be one of moderate growth, which does not support current P/E valuations. As such, I see Tesla stock trading in the $100/share to $300/share range for the foreseeable future.Tesla's Q4 results:For the fourth quarter of 2023, Tesla saw an increase in revenues of 3%, to $25.17 billion. It is nowhere near the growth levels one might expect from a company that currently has a forward P/E ratio of about 60, in other words, about two and a half times higher than the S&P index. The net income attributable to shareholders increased by 115%, to $7.93 billion, which does partially justify continuing to have Tesla stock trading at a P/E ratio that is priced for growth. It should also be noted that profit margins were healthy, with net earnings at 31.5% of revenues. It is an enviable level of profitability, even as many car companies are still trying to figure out how to profitable sell EVs.Growth in vehicle deliveries was significant, with a 13% increase in deliveries in Q4, 2023, compared with Q4, 2022. The reason why it did not translate into a corresponding increase in revenues is in large part due to a decline in the average price of Tesla cars sold. One factor was Tesla's policy of discounting its cars to start fighting for market share.How Tesla compares to peers in terms of EV market share in Europe:Tesla is currently far from being the most dominant EV maker & seller in Europe.Data source: InsideEVsIt is notably beating European luxury carmakers like Mercedes (OTCPK:MBGYY) & BMW (OTCPK:BMWYY), both of which I expected to do a lot better in the EV sector, given that they are already catering to the same income demographic that tends to buy EVs. Both of those companies are in the process of taking part in what is shaping up to become a marriage made in Hungary, between European carmakers and Asian EV battery producers, which they hope to help them conquer the European EV market.Tesla's potential production cost disadvantage in Europe, as competitors flock to more cost-effective places.Hungary is emerging as a world leader in EV battery production, thanks to Asian investments and it is also seeing massive inflows of investments in EV assembly plants.Visual CapitalistWith new investments such as CATL in the pipeline, Hungary will probably maintain its role as Europe's largest EV battery producer for the foreseeable future, and with that, it will also play a significant role as an EV manufacturing hub. None of this happened accidentally. Hungary offers significant advantages, especially for manufacturing enterprises.Corporate taxes.Hungary's current corporate tax rate is the lowest in the EU, while Germany's is the second-highest in Europe.Tax FoundationIt is difficult to quantify just how great of an impact corporate tax rates will have on producing and selling an EV. We should keep in mind that those lower corporate tax rates work their way through the entire supply chain that supports the final assembly of EVs.Energy costs.Hungary is one of the lower-cost places in terms of energy prices, while Germany is among the highest in the non-household segment of the economy.ECThe difference in electricity costs for non-household consumers may not be great, but it is yet another cost advantage that German car manufacturers, as well as now BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF) are looking to take advantage of. These costs also work throughout the supply chain.Labor costs.When most people think of outsourcing, within the European context from Western Europe toward the Eastern part of the EU, labor costs tend to come to mind instantly. There is no significant advantage that Hungary has over its immediate neighbors, such as Slovakia or Romania in this regard. Average gross wages in Hungary are about 3 times lower than they are in Germany. That is a significant difference. It is hard to accurately quantify what all these savings mean for Germany's automakers, in particular when it comes to producing EVs at a cost advantage relative to Tesla. A decade-old estimate from Mercedes (OTCPK:MBGAF) suggests that at least back then the savings per vehicle produced in Hungary were as high as 30% of total production costs. Much has changed since then, including a narrowing in the wage gap. On the other hand, energy prices increased more dramatically in Germany over the past few years.German EV manufacturers to produce models that directly compete with Tesla models in Hungary. BYD joins the trend.BMW's Hungary EV & new generation battery plant.BMW is set to produce some of the models that compete with Tesla's Model Y at its new plant in Hungary by the end of next year. A successor to the BMW iX3 is one of the models that BMW plans to produce there. The successor version of the model will feature BMW's in-house battery, which is supposed to provide 30% faster charging, as well as up to 30% more range. Its current range of 240 miles could thus get a significant boost that will take it above 300 miles. It remains to be seen whether or not the price will also be lowered. It currently sells at just under $90,000 for the base model, versus Tesla's model Y which sells at a starting price of $46,000. BMW has a long way to go to close that price gap, but it is possible that with the cost savings related to producing its cars in Hungary, it will be able to significantly lower the price, even as it improves on performance.Mercedes & Audi have a long-established presence in Hungary that is now being retooled for EV production.Mercedes & Audi have a well-established presence in Hungary. Mercedes decided to use a flex plant model, where it can easily switch between producing EVs or conventional cars. The electric EQB SUV with a range of 240 miles, starts at $53,900 and is being manufactured in Hungary. It is price-competitive compared with Tesla's Model Y, but it lacks a bit of range, which seems to be at the heart of the lack of success that Mercedes is seeing in the EV market. Volkswagen's (OTCPK:VLKAF) Audi Q4 and other Volkswagen group EV models have electric motors built in Hungary, which helps it save money on labor, taxes, and energy costs.Tesla's main global competitor looks to compete in Europe.BYD seems to have the same idea as German EV makers, given that it recently announced plans to build its first EV assembly plant in Hungary. It could be argued that it might be a way to simply try to maximize profits for BYD and all other companies that are converging on the one country that seems to have had a longer-term vision of catering to the EV industry. The profit motive may be the primary driver of EV producers and battery manufacturers converging to the place where they can be arguably the most cost-effective in Europe. If or when the battle for EV market share in Europe intensifies, Tesla's main competitors seem to be well-positioned to compete. Tesla's decision to assemble its cars in Germany on the other hand may have lessened its ability to do in Europe what it has done for most of the past decade, namely outcompete its Western market competitors, even as it became a highly profitable company.Investment implications.The reasoning behind the upgrade from sell to hold.I bought Tesla stock last year at just over $120/share and sold once it reached $195, as I pointed out in an article at the beginning of 2023. My current upgrade to a hold from a sell back then is by no means a reflection of a change in my overall view in terms of performance expectations. The only difference is that back in February 2023 Tesla stock was on an upswing, so an opportunity arose to take profits, while now it is on a downswing, thus I am looking for the price to be right once again to get back in. In other words, it is now once again a stock of interest that I am watching, thus the upgrade.Tesla stock price & other metrics (Seeking Alpha)I missed out last year as it went as high as over $290/share, however as I write this, Tesla stock trades just slightly below my exit price point, therefore holding would not have earned me any extra gains on the trade as of right now. I am currently looking to start buying Tesla stock again if it drops below $150 or so, which is when the P/E ratio will start to resemble reasonable fundamentals of the company as I perceive them. As we can see, even after the recent decline in its stock price, Tesla stock is still trading at about twice the P/E valuation of the overall market.Tesla's higher P/E relative to peers may be partially justified.One of the bear cases that can be made for Tesla is the massive discrepancy between its P/E and that of its automotive industry peers. For instance, BMW, which I foresee as becoming a major competitor in Europe for EV market share, especially within the luxury segment, has a forward P/E of only about 5.BMW stock and other financial metrics (Seeking Alpha)It also offers a very generous dividend yield of about 8.7%, which in theory should justify a higher P/E. The difference is that BMW is far from being a growth stock. It may increase EV sales in the future, but it will likely come at a cost, with conventional car sales set to decline.BMWAs we can see, yearly sales have been holding flat in the past years. My personal view is that the EU EV transition plan to 2035 will lead to an overall decline in European car sales. BMW might see a net decline in total sales as a result, even though comparatively speaking it might emerge as one of the least-impacted European automakers, as I pointed out in an article in 2022. I do not think that Tesla's growth prospects justify a P/E ratio that is about 12 times higher than BMW's, but its growth profile, versus the no growth profile of BMW, does justify a significantly higher P/E valuation.Tesla lost EV market share in Europe this decade.With my analysis of Tesla's situation in Europe in mind, my perception of Tesla's overall fundamentals is that it is maturing into a solid company within the global auto industry, with strong profit margins, as well as the potential for continued moderate long-term sales growth.Data sources: Good car bad car.net, InsideEVsAs we can see, Tesla continues to capture more of the total automotive market share in Europe, together with the rest of the EV industry. Even as the EV industry slowed significantly in 2023 in terms of increasing its automotive sector market share, Tesla still managed to significantly increase its market share. That may not necessarily be an indication of how things will go this year and beyond, because as I pointed out, most of its competitors are gearing up to compete more intensely. Furthermore, looking at a multi-year performance, for instance, from 2019 until the present, the overall EV industry in Europe outperformed Tesla. Tesla's share of the European auto market grew about four-fold in the period, while the overall share of the EV industry grew about seven-fold, as the chart shows. In other words, this decade, Tesla is underperforming the overall European EV market in terms of sales growth.The size of the global luxury car market is limited and Tesla already plays a sizable role, therefore it is unclear how much more of it is up for grabs.It should also be noted that all of Tesla's current models target the luxury car segment in terms of potential consumers, which is as true in Europe as it is in the US or China. The total global luxury car market is estimated to be $655 billion as of 2023. Tesla is already about 13% of the global luxury car market, based on its total automotive revenues of $82.42 billion in 2023. It is questionable just how much further that market share can be expanded.Europe's luxury carmakers are gearing up to fight for market share by keeping manufacturing costs low, as I thoroughly examined in this article. Elsewhere, competition will continue to be fierce as well, especially given that the luxury segment tends to be where the profits are for EV makers. We should not write off the ICE-powered cars from retaining a significant portion of the global luxury car segment, as well as the European car market. Many luxury car enthusiasts continue to prefer it to electric.The global luxury car market will probably continue to expand, although it might disappoint current expectations of it reaching the trillion-dollar mark by the end of the decade. Tesla's sales growth may increasingly reflect the growth in the global luxury car market, as well as the growth of the EV segment within the overall luxury car market. I expect EVs to become dominant within the luxury car segment worldwide, perhaps by the end of the decade, whereas as of 2022, they captured about 30% of the luxury car market.Conclusion:Within this context, I expect Tesla's shares to mostly trade between $100/share and $300/share for the foreseeable future. Buyers will flock to it as it approaches $100/share, where its valuation will look increasingly reasonable, and sell as it approaches $300/share, where it will look increasingly out of step in terms of its fundamentals. For reference, with all else held equal, If Tesla stock were to trade at $100/share, its P/E ratio would drop to about 31, just slightly above the S&P 500 P/E ratio currently at just over 26. Based on my view, I see Tesla's P/E ratio approaching the market's average P/E as a likely bottom, namely that most investors would choose Tesla over owning the broader market, once P/E ratios converge. It was the same reasoning that led me to buy Tesla stock early last year as it went to $120/share. I just don't see much downside for this stock once it gets close to the overall market in terms of valuation. Therefore it is worth buying its stock whenever it falls below $150/share in my view, knowing that the downside is limited from that point on and selling once its shares rise above $200/share.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":71,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":270987698766072,"gmtCreate":1707196900258,"gmtModify":1707196904499,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Drop please","listText":"Drop please","text":"Drop please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/270987698766072","repostId":"1146764800","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1146764800","pubTimestamp":1707190200,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1146764800?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2024-02-06 11:30","language":"en","title":"RBA Leaves Cash Rate at 4.35pc, Keeps Tightening Bias","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1146764800","media":"The Australian Financial Review","summary":"The number: The Reserve Bank of Australia left the cash rate on hold at 4.35 per cent as widely predicted by the market and economists.Why it matters: It is the central bank’s first policy meeting this year under the new format of a two-day board meeting and media conference.

This time around, Meta Platforms definitely belongs in the “triumph” category and truly earned its “Magnificent Seven” designation. My META stock forecast indicates that, while the stock might not look super-cheap right now, it’s worth owning for the remainder of 2024 at least.</p><p>Indeed, you’ll get more than the usual share-price appreciation from Meta Platforms this year. You’ll also get a nice bonus, which passive-income investors ought to appreciate. So, let’s delve into the details and uncover the ever-improving bull case for Meta Platforms.</p><h2 id=\"id_1859022231\">META Stock Zooms Ahead on Terrific Quarterly Results</h2><p>The skeptics can question Meta Platforms’ valuation all day long if they want to. They can also look askance at CEO Mark Zuckerberg as he obsesses about the metaverse. None of this, however, negates Meta Platforms’ undeniably positive fourth-quarter 2023 financial results.</p><p>These results, along with Meta Platforms’ forward guidance, could be described as across-the-board beats. For example, the company reported adjusted earnings of $5.33 per share, which surpassed the analysts’ consensus estimate of $4.82 per share.</p><p>Furthermore, while Wall Street expected Meta Platforms to generate quarterly revenue of $39.1 billion, the company actually reported $40.1 billion. This represents 25% year-over-year growth — not too shabby, you must admit.</p><p>Additionally, Meta Platforms guided for first-quarter 2024 revenue of $34.5 billion to $37 billion. There’s a beat here, as well, since Wall Street had projected current-quarter revenue of $33.9 billion for Meta Platforms. Therefore, it’s not too shocking that META stock jumped after the company released its data and outlook.</p><h2 id=\"id_1172239678\">Buybacks and Dividends, Oh My!</h2><p>Does Meta Platforms actually respect its shareholders? Skeptical investors might have asked that question in the past, but now there’s a definitive answer: Yes!</p><p>One way for Meta Platforms to demonstrate respect for its investors is by repurchasing the company’s own shares. This reduces the pool of available shares, thereby keeping the supply low and potentially putting a floor on the META stock price. To that end, Meta Platforms announced a $50 billion increase in the company’s share-repurchase program.</p><p>Moreover, Meta Platforms showed respect for the shareholders by disclosing the company’s upcoming first-ever dividend payment. It’s only 50 cents per share, which isn’t a mind-blowing amount when the stock price is over $400.</p><p>Still, the market is already quite enthused about Meta Platforms finally initiating dividend distributions after many years of not doing so. It’s actually prompting questions about whether other “Magnificent Seven” companies will follow Meta Platforms’ lead and initiate their own dividend programs.</p><h2 id=\"id_3485145544\">Bullish META Stock Forecast: What More Could You Ask For?</h2><p>I suppose you could ask for an ultra-low valuation, but let’s not nitpick. Meta Platforms’ investors now get growth and momentum, along with dividend payouts and the assurance that comes with corporate share buybacks.</p><p>It’s about as close to the total package that any reasonable investor could ask for. Consequently, my META stock forecast is definitely bullish. Feel free to pick up some Meta shares today, and get ready to reinvest the upcoming dividend distributions.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace_stock_picks","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

This time around, Meta Platforms definitely belongs in the “triumph” category and truly earned its “Magnificent Seven” designation. My META stock forecast indicates that, while the stock might not look super-cheap right now, it’s worth owning for the remainder of 2024 at least.Indeed, you’ll get more than the usual share-price appreciation from Meta Platforms this year. You’ll also get a nice bonus, which passive-income investors ought to appreciate. So, let’s delve into the details and uncover the ever-improving bull case for Meta Platforms.META Stock Zooms Ahead on Terrific Quarterly ResultsThe skeptics can question Meta Platforms’ valuation all day long if they want to. They can also look askance at CEO Mark Zuckerberg as he obsesses about the metaverse. None of this, however, negates Meta Platforms’ undeniably positive fourth-quarter 2023 financial results.These results, along with Meta Platforms’ forward guidance, could be described as across-the-board beats. For example, the company reported adjusted earnings of $5.33 per share, which surpassed the analysts’ consensus estimate of $4.82 per share.Furthermore, while Wall Street expected Meta Platforms to generate quarterly revenue of $39.1 billion, the company actually reported $40.1 billion. This represents 25% year-over-year growth — not too shabby, you must admit.Additionally, Meta Platforms guided for first-quarter 2024 revenue of $34.5 billion to $37 billion. There’s a beat here, as well, since Wall Street had projected current-quarter revenue of $33.9 billion for Meta Platforms. Therefore, it’s not too shocking that META stock jumped after the company released its data and outlook.Buybacks and Dividends, Oh My!Does Meta Platforms actually respect its shareholders? Skeptical investors might have asked that question in the past, but now there’s a definitive answer: Yes!One way for Meta Platforms to demonstrate respect for its investors is by repurchasing the company’s own shares. This reduces the pool of available shares, thereby keeping the supply low and potentially putting a floor on the META stock price. To that end, Meta Platforms announced a $50 billion increase in the company’s share-repurchase program.Moreover, Meta Platforms showed respect for the shareholders by disclosing the company’s upcoming first-ever dividend payment. It’s only 50 cents per share, which isn’t a mind-blowing amount when the stock price is over $400.Still, the market is already quite enthused about Meta Platforms finally initiating dividend distributions after many years of not doing so. It’s actually prompting questions about whether other “Magnificent Seven” companies will follow Meta Platforms’ lead and initiate their own dividend programs.Bullish META Stock Forecast: What More Could You Ask For?I suppose you could ask for an ultra-low valuation, but let’s not nitpick. Meta Platforms’ investors now get growth and momentum, along with dividend payouts and the assurance that comes with corporate share buybacks.It’s about as close to the total package that any reasonable investor could ask for. Consequently, my META stock forecast is definitely bullish. Feel free to pick up some Meta shares today, and get ready to reinvest the upcoming dividend distributions.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":66,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":270928685519112,"gmtCreate":1707182493170,"gmtModify":1707182498401,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Strong asset base that is undervalued.

At the Singapore Motorshow earlier this month, Abu Bakar bin Isnin, 64, was mulling purchasing a new vehicle despite a new COE permit costing about twice the price of his nearly expired one.“It’s not a luxury, it’s a necessity,” said Abu Bakar, who plans to drive his grandchildren around after retiring from his job as a manager. “People buy cars because it’s necessary to bring your family around, your own family comes first.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":51,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":265459311722592,"gmtCreate":1705833531277,"gmtModify":1705833536155,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"They can use any reason to support which direction they want","listText":"They can use any reason to support which direction they want","text":"They can use any reason to support which direction they want","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/265459311722592","repostId":"1102142121","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1102142121","pubTimestamp":1705828172,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1102142121?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2024-01-21 17:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Fed to Begin Rate Cut Discussions But Avoid Teeing First One Up","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1102142121","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Policymakers can take their time given health of US economyOfficials want to be certain inflation won’t rise back upFederal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and his colleagues could be forgiven if they’re feeling a bit like parents on an extended road trip with their children.Investors eager for interest-rate cuts keep asking policymakers, “Are we there yet?”","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Policymakers can take their time given health of US economy</p></li><li><p>Officials want to be certain inflation won’t rise back up</p></li></ul><p>Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and his colleagues could be forgiven if they’re feeling a bit like parents on an extended road trip with their children.</p><p>Investors eager for interest-rate cuts keep asking policymakers, “Are we there yet?” The repeated reply so far: “Soon, but not quite yet.”</p><p>The Federal Open Market Committee is widely expected to hold interest rates steady for the fourth straight meeting when it gathers in Washington on Jan. 30 and 31.

Sea plunged its most on record after founder Forrest Li declared in August his company will invest more in online retail arm Shopee and live-streaming to counter those platforms, which are appealing to younger shoppers.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Till recently, Sea’s strongest markets including Indonesia seemed under siege from TikTok and a new breed of video-oriented shopping services, which used popular influencers to sell a range of wares to an engaged, growing online population. But in September, Jakarta effectively forced TikTok to shut its shopping service, acting on a growing backlash from smaller merchants against the Chinese-owned platform.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Investors have been looking for clues since then on whether that abrupt exit will rekindle Sea. Before Indonesia, the market feared the Singaporean company — which reported more than a decade of losses after its 2009 founding — will sink back into the red. Compounding the situation are expectations that Southeast Asia’s internet economy will log its slowest growth on record this year, the result of an economic downturn with uncertain outcomes.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Sea’s other big business, the gaming division centered around Garena, has shrunk rapidly in 2023 given a lack of new blockbuster titles. But it recently restored its marquee title Free Fire to Indian app stores after a surprise 2022 ban.</p><blockquote><p>Sea’s e-commerce revenue, driving 68% of the 1H total, should gain from Indonesian regulators’ shutdown of TikTok’s shopping platform, which faces similar risks in Malaysia. Online-shopping gross merchandise value (GMV) likely fell or stagnated in 1Q-2Q, a trend that could improve as Shopee regains lost market share from rivals amid a reacceleration in marketing spending. With Temu, the overseas arm of China’s e-tailer Pinduoduo also encroaching on Southeast Asia, such investments could intensify and cloud Sea’s net profit path. This is partially mitigated by a tepid recovery in the digital entertainment segment — driving 45% of 1H adjusted Ebitda — amid a rebound in Free Fire’s player engagement.</p><p>Free cash flow could remain under pressure amid e-commerce expansion spending. - Nathan Naidu, analyst</p></blockquote><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Li’s company had overhauled its business to focus on profitability earlier this year. Sea embarked on an aggressive cost-cutting drive to reach profit, pivoting to a focus on the bottom-line as revenue growth decelerated from the triple-digit percentage rates it enjoyed as recently as two years ago. The company froze salaries and slashed hundreds of millions of dollars in expenses to achieve positive cash flows.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">To jumpstart growth, Li said in August he intends to ramp up investments into e-commerce arm Shopee.

Southeast Asia’s largest internet firm reported a 4.9% rise in sales from a year earlier to $3.3 billion, versus the average estimate of $3.2 billion.The results may stoke concerns that the US-listed company is sacrificing margins to stave off a charge from ByteDance Ltd.’s TikTok and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s Lazada, or newer entrants such as PDD Holdings Inc.’s Temu. Sea plunged its most on record after founder Forrest Li declared in August his company will invest more in online retail arm Shopee and live-streaming to counter those platforms, which are appealing to younger shoppers.Till recently, Sea’s strongest markets including Indonesia seemed under siege from TikTok and a new breed of video-oriented shopping services, which used popular influencers to sell a range of wares to an engaged, growing online population. But in September, Jakarta effectively forced TikTok to shut its shopping service, acting on a growing backlash from smaller merchants against the Chinese-owned platform.Investors have been looking for clues since then on whether that abrupt exit will rekindle Sea. Before Indonesia, the market feared the Singaporean company — which reported more than a decade of losses after its 2009 founding — will sink back into the red. Compounding the situation are expectations that Southeast Asia’s internet economy will log its slowest growth on record this year, the result of an economic downturn with uncertain outcomes.Sea’s other big business, the gaming division centered around Garena, has shrunk rapidly in 2023 given a lack of new blockbuster titles. But it recently restored its marquee title Free Fire to Indian app stores after a surprise 2022 ban.Sea’s e-commerce revenue, driving 68% of the 1H total, should gain from Indonesian regulators’ shutdown of TikTok’s shopping platform, which faces similar risks in Malaysia. Online-shopping gross merchandise value (GMV) likely fell or stagnated in 1Q-2Q, a trend that could improve as Shopee regains lost market share from rivals amid a reacceleration in marketing spending. With Temu, the overseas arm of China’s e-tailer Pinduoduo also encroaching on Southeast Asia, such investments could intensify and cloud Sea’s net profit path. This is partially mitigated by a tepid recovery in the digital entertainment segment — driving 45% of 1H adjusted Ebitda — amid a rebound in Free Fire’s player engagement.Free cash flow could remain under pressure amid e-commerce expansion spending. - Nathan Naidu, analystLi’s company had overhauled its business to focus on profitability earlier this year. Sea embarked on an aggressive cost-cutting drive to reach profit, pivoting to a focus on the bottom-line as revenue growth decelerated from the triple-digit percentage rates it enjoyed as recently as two years ago. The company froze salaries and slashed hundreds of millions of dollars in expenses to achieve positive cash flows.To jumpstart growth, Li said in August he intends to ramp up investments into e-commerce arm Shopee. He is stepping up efforts to build out its live-streaming arm, an offensive move that could erode margins and trigger a price war with TikTok and Alibaba. He argued that was necessary to defend its market share.Beyond deep-pocketed competitors Alibaba and ByteDance, local rivals such as GoTo Group are also piling the pressure on Sea. GoTo, owner of Indonesian e-commerce contender Tokopedia, almost doubled its net revenue during the June quarter.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":210,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":235337810825224,"gmtCreate":1698488333934,"gmtModify":1698488338394,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Can nio use self charging points?","listText":"Can nio use self charging points?","text":"Can nio use self charging points?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/235337810825224","repostId":"2378874718","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2378874718","pubTimestamp":1698452654,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2378874718?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-10-28 08:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Could Nio Be a Millionaire-Maker Stock?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2378874718","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"While risky, NIO offers massive upside for long-term investors, as it can carve out a niche in the battery-swappable EV space.","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul style=\"\"><li><p><strong>Nio’s</strong> (<strong><u>NIO</u></strong>) unique battery swapping model provides millionaire-maker potential, but there are caveats.</p></li><li><p>Consistent access to financing could fund Nio without massive dilution.</p></li><li><p>Continue reading to find out where NIO stock could be in five years!</p></li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6d7b42b9949b37ee29b705de7a5db1b5\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"432\"/></p><p>Source: J1TTO / Shutterstock.com</p><p><strong>Nio</strong> (NYSE:<strong>NIO</strong>) has been on a rollercoaster ride in 2023, with massive price fluctuations seen in recent months.

A resilient financial performanceDespite the ongoing headwinds, MLT reported a resilient performance for 2Q FY2024.Gross revenue inched up 1.5% year on year to S$186.7 million while net property income (NPI) edged up 1.2% year on year to S$162 million.MLT’s DPU improved by 0.9% year on year to S$0.02268.Investors will be glad to note that finance costs for 2Q FY2024 increased by just 10.2% year on year because of a higher level of borrowings to fund recent acquisitions as well as higher average interest rates on existing debt.The increase in finance costs was slightly lower than 1Q FY2024’s year-on-year increase of 13.4%, pointing to potential stabilisation of borrowing costs in the next few quarters.For the first half of FY2024 (1H FY2024), gross revenue declined by 0.7% year on year to S$368.9 million with NPI slipping 1% year on year to S$320.1 million.DPU for 1H FY2024 still managed to eke out a small gain, rising by 0.5% year on year to S$0.04539.2. Solid operating metricsIn addition to its solid financial performance, MLT also reported healthy operating metrics across its portfolio of 189 properties.Portfolio occupancy stood at 96.9% as of 30 September 2023, slipping by just 0.2 percentage points from the previous quarter’s 97.1%.The average rental reversion for the portfolio came in positive at 0.2%, though this was significantly lower than 1Q FY2024’s 4.2%.The culprit was China, where rental reversion came in negative for the quarter.Excluding MLT’s Chinese properties, rental reversion would have been strongly positive at 9.1%.3. Stable debt metricsMLT’s debt metrics remained stable, with aggregate leverage coming in at 38.9%, slightly below the 39.5% reported in the previous quarter.The good news is that the REIT’s average cost of debt has stayed constant at 2.5% with 83% of its total debt hedged to fixed rates, mitigating a sharp increase in finance costs.The REIT only has 4% of its total borrowings (S$198 million) coming due in FY2024 and has in place committed credit facilities of around S$1 billion to refinance it.For every 0.25 percentage point increase in base interest rates, MLT will see just a 0.4% decline in DPU for the quarter.4. Active capital recycling effortsThe REIT manager has been active in capital recycling to rejuvenate MLT’s portfolio.Four divestments were completed or pending completion in 2Q FY2024.Three properties were divested in Malaysia, two at RM 50.2 million at 6.1% above valuation and the third at RM 60 million, 15.4% above valuation.Singapore’s 8 Loyang Crescent was sold for S$27.8 million, 17.3% above valuation.Finally, Moriya Centre in Japan was divested at 12.2% above valuation, garnering proceeds of JPY 10 billion.Investors should note that these divestments were all made at a premium to valuation, netting the REIT healthy profits that can be reinvested.Meanwhile, MLT also has two ongoing development projects.One is the amalgamation of two land parcels in Subang Jaya, Malaysia, to increase its gross floor area (GFA) by five times to 700,000 square feet.This project should be completed by the first quarter of 2027 (1Q 2027).The other is at 51 Benoi Road which will more than double its GFA to 887,000 square feet and will be completed by 1Q 2025.5. A cautious outlookMLT has maintained a cautious outlook for the remainder of FY2024 amid a weak global economic outlook characterised by tight financial conditions.Rent reversion in China is projected to stay negative but rental rates across the rest of MLT’s portfolio should remain stable.The manager will focus on optimising portfolio performance and continue its capital recycling efforts through selective divestments, asset enhancements, and yield-accretive acquisitions.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":105,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":233950770110704,"gmtCreate":1698125905269,"gmtModify":1698125910259,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"May drop to 3 usd&nbsp;","listText":"May drop to 3 usd&nbsp;","text":"May drop to 3 usd","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/233950770110704","repostId":"2377711278","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2377711278","pubTimestamp":1698124638,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2377711278?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-10-24 13:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Did VinFast Auto Stock Crash 11% on Monday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2377711278","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Good news: There will soon be more shares of this EV company that you can trade.

With the backing of solid profit margins, it can afford to undercut competitors, especially in the Developed World, most of which are still struggling to produce &amp; sell EVs at a profit. Europe might emerge as an exception, where Tesla bet on producing its cars in Germany, while much of its German &amp; Chinese competition is building up capacity in Hungary where there is a clear comparative advantage in labor, energy, and government taxation costs. Lower production costs mean those companies that are investing heavily in EV production capacity in Hungary and other Eastern EU states, are increasingly in a position to engage in price discounting to counter anything that Tesla may try to do. Tesla is losing ground to its competition in Europe within the EV market this decade and it may continue to do so going forward. Using the European market as a case study, we can conclude that Tesla&#39;s future outlook in terms of sales looks set to be one of moderate growth, which does not support current P/E valuations. As such, I see Tesla stock trading in the $100/share to $300/share range for the foreseeable future.</p><h2 id=\"id_1309905219\">Tesla&#39;s Q4 results:</h2><p>For the fourth quarter of 2023, Tesla saw an increase in revenues of 3%, to $25.17 billion. It is nowhere near the growth levels one might expect from a company that currently has a forward P/E ratio of about 60, in other words, about two and a half times higher than the S&amp;P index. The net income attributable to shareholders increased by 115%, to $7.93 billion, which does partially justify continuing to have Tesla stock trading at a P/E ratio that is priced for growth. It should also be noted that profit margins were healthy, with net earnings at 31.5% of revenues. It is an enviable level of profitability, even as many car companies are still trying to figure out how to profitable sell EVs.</p><p>Growth in vehicle deliveries was significant, with a 13% increase in deliveries in Q4, 2023, compared with Q4, 2022. The reason why it did not translate into a corresponding increase in revenues is in large part due to a decline in the average price of Tesla cars sold. One factor was Tesla&#39;s policy of discounting its cars to start fighting for market share.</p><h2 id=\"id_992608232\">How Tesla compares to peers in terms of EV market share in Europe:</h2><p>Tesla is currently far from being the most dominant EV maker &amp; seller in Europe.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac6840add1d1bebfcbadc9bd2c66e8fe\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"387\"/></p><p>Data source: InsideEVs</p><p>It is notably beating European luxury carmakers like Mercedes (OTCPK:MBGYY) &amp; BMW (OTCPK:BMWYY), both of which I expected to do a lot better in the EV sector, given that they are already catering to the same income demographic that tends to buy EVs. Both of those companies are in the process of taking part in what is shaping up to become a marriage made in Hungary, between European carmakers and Asian EV battery producers, which they hope to help them conquer the European EV market.</p><h2 id=\"id_3767111978\">Tesla&#39;s potential production cost disadvantage in Europe, as competitors flock to more cost-effective places.</h2><p>Hungary is emerging as a world leader in EV battery production, thanks to Asian investments and it is also seeing massive inflows of investments in EV assembly plants.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1233a735987e2b442441687f155a5cde\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"342\"/></p><p>Visual Capitalist</p><p>With new investments such as CATL in the pipeline, Hungary will probably maintain its role as Europe&#39;s largest EV battery producer for the foreseeable future, and with that, it will also play a significant role as an EV manufacturing hub. None of this happened accidentally. Hungary offers significant advantages, especially for manufacturing enterprises.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Corporate taxes.</p></li></ul><p>Hungary&#39;s current corporate tax rate is the lowest in the EU, while Germany&#39;s is the second-highest in Europe.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9a660b9f55f712607baf3c19e2cb96d7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"477\"/></p><p>Tax Foundation</p><p>It is difficult to quantify just how great of an impact corporate tax rates will have on producing and selling an EV. We should keep in mind that those lower corporate tax rates work their way through the entire supply chain that supports the final assembly of EVs.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Energy costs.</p></li></ul><p>Hungary is one of the lower-cost places in terms of energy prices, while Germany is among the highest in the non-household segment of the economy.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0412959ad59d4e5f8d5bdf8991fa1357\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"433\"/></p><p>EC</p><p>The difference in electricity costs for non-household consumers may not be great, but it is yet another cost advantage that German car manufacturers, as well as now BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF) are looking to take advantage of. These costs also work throughout the supply chain.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Labor costs.</p></li></ul><p>When most people think of outsourcing, within the European context from Western Europe toward the Eastern part of the EU, labor costs tend to come to mind instantly. There is no significant advantage that Hungary has over its immediate neighbors, such as Slovakia or Romania in this regard. Average gross wages in Hungary are about 3 times lower than they are in Germany. That is a significant difference. It is hard to accurately quantify what all these savings mean for Germany&#39;s automakers, in particular when it comes to producing EVs at a cost advantage relative to Tesla. A decade-old estimate from Mercedes (OTCPK:MBGAF) suggests that at least back then the savings per vehicle produced in Hungary were as high as 30% of total production costs. Much has changed since then, including a narrowing in the wage gap. On the other hand, energy prices increased more dramatically in Germany over the past few years.</p><h2 id=\"id_3913002019\">German EV manufacturers to produce models that directly compete with Tesla models in Hungary. BYD joins the trend.</h2><ul style=\"\"><li><p>BMW&#39;s Hungary EV &amp; new generation battery plant.</p></li></ul><p>BMW is set to produce some of the models that compete with Tesla&#39;s Model Y at its new plant in Hungary by the end of next year. A successor to the BMW iX3 is one of the models that BMW plans to produce there. The successor version of the model will feature BMW&#39;s in-house battery, which is supposed to provide 30% faster charging, as well as up to 30% more range. Its current range of 240 miles could thus get a significant boost that will take it above 300 miles. It remains to be seen whether or not the price will also be lowered. It currently sells at just under $90,000 for the base model, versus Tesla&#39;s model Y which sells at a starting price of $46,000. BMW has a long way to go to close that price gap, but it is possible that with the cost savings related to producing its cars in Hungary, it will be able to significantly lower the price, even as it improves on performance.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Mercedes &amp; Audi have a long-established presence in Hungary that is now being retooled for EV production.</p></li></ul><p>Mercedes &amp; Audi have a well-established presence in Hungary. Mercedes decided to use a flex plant model, where it can easily switch between producing EVs or conventional cars. The electric EQB SUV with a range of 240 miles, starts at $53,900 and is being manufactured in Hungary. It is price-competitive compared with Tesla&#39;s Model Y, but it lacks a bit of range, which seems to be at the heart of the lack of success that Mercedes is seeing in the EV market. Volkswagen&#39;s (OTCPK:VLKAF) Audi Q4 and other Volkswagen group EV models have electric motors built in Hungary, which helps it save money on labor, taxes, and energy costs.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Tesla&#39;s main global competitor looks to compete in Europe.</p></li></ul><p>BYD seems to have the same idea as German EV makers, given that it recently announced plans to build its first EV assembly plant in Hungary. It could be argued that it might be a way to simply try to maximize profits for BYD and all other companies that are converging on the one country that seems to have had a longer-term vision of catering to the EV industry. The profit motive may be the primary driver of EV producers and battery manufacturers converging to the place where they can be arguably the most cost-effective in Europe. If or when the battle for EV market share in Europe intensifies, Tesla&#39;s main competitors seem to be well-positioned to compete. Tesla&#39;s decision to assemble its cars in Germany on the other hand may have lessened its ability to do in Europe what it has done for most of the past decade, namely outcompete its Western market competitors, even as it became a highly profitable company.</p><h2 id=\"id_34294936\">Investment implications.</h2><ul style=\"\"><li><p>The reasoning behind the upgrade from sell to hold.</p></li></ul><p>I bought Tesla stock last year at just over $120/share and sold once it reached $195, as I pointed out in an article at the beginning of 2023. My current upgrade to a hold from a sell back then is by no means a reflection of a change in my overall view in terms of performance expectations. The only difference is that back in February 2023 Tesla stock was on an upswing, so an opportunity arose to take profits, while now it is on a downswing, thus I am looking for the price to be right once again to get back in. In other words, it is now once again a stock of interest that I am watching, thus the upgrade.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9a84f3f37ea44b119547890fb618d249\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"300\"/></p><p>Tesla stock price &amp; other metrics (Seeking Alpha)</p><p>I missed out last year as it went as high as over $290/share, however as I write this, Tesla stock trades just slightly below my exit price point, therefore holding would not have earned me any extra gains on the trade as of right now. I am currently looking to start buying Tesla stock again if it drops below $150 or so, which is when the P/E ratio will start to resemble reasonable fundamentals of the company as I perceive them. As we can see, even after the recent decline in its stock price, Tesla stock is still trading at about twice the P/E valuation of the overall market.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Tesla&#39;s higher P/E relative to peers may be partially justified.</p></li></ul><p>One of the bear cases that can be made for Tesla is the massive discrepancy between its P/E and that of its automotive industry peers. For instance, BMW, which I foresee as becoming a major competitor in Europe for EV market share, especially within the luxury segment, has a forward P/E of only about 5.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7567bb386700b0fdd838954a08c54b79\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"298\"/></p><p>BMW stock and other financial metrics (Seeking Alpha)</p><p>It also offers a very generous dividend yield of about 8.7%, which in theory should justify a higher P/E. The difference is that BMW is far from being a growth stock. It may increase EV sales in the future, but it will likely come at a cost, with conventional car sales set to decline.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f594f20e057e1552635b045b4d027067\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"481\"/></p><p>BMW</p><p>As we can see, yearly sales have been holding flat in the past years. My personal view is that the EU EV transition plan to 2035 will lead to an overall decline in European car sales. BMW might see a net decline in total sales as a result, even though comparatively speaking it might emerge as one of the least-impacted European automakers, as I pointed out in an article in 2022. I do not think that Tesla&#39;s growth prospects justify a P/E ratio that is about 12 times higher than BMW&#39;s, but its growth profile, versus the no growth profile of BMW, does justify a significantly higher P/E valuation.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Tesla lost EV market share in Europe this decade.</p></li></ul><p>With my analysis of Tesla&#39;s situation in Europe in mind, my perception of Tesla&#39;s overall fundamentals is that it is maturing into a solid company within the global auto industry, with strong profit margins, as well as the potential for continued moderate long-term sales growth.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/39963958b96b9010c8d857993df69b89\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"321\"/></p><p>Data sources: Good car bad car.net, InsideEVs</p><p>As we can see, Tesla continues to capture more of the total automotive market share in Europe, together with the rest of the EV industry. Even as the EV industry slowed significantly in 2023 in terms of increasing its automotive sector market share, Tesla still managed to significantly increase its market share. That may not necessarily be an indication of how things will go this year and beyond, because as I pointed out, most of its competitors are gearing up to compete more intensely. Furthermore, looking at a multi-year performance, for instance, from 2019 until the present, the overall EV industry in Europe outperformed Tesla. Tesla&#39;s share of the European auto market grew about four-fold in the period, while the overall share of the EV industry grew about seven-fold, as the chart shows. In other words, this decade, Tesla is underperforming the overall European EV market in terms of sales growth.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>The size of the global luxury car market is limited and Tesla already plays a sizable role, therefore it is unclear how much more of it is up for grabs.</p></li></ul><p>It should also be noted that all of Tesla&#39;s current models target the luxury car segment in terms of potential consumers, which is as true in Europe as it is in the US or China. The total global luxury car market is estimated to be $655 billion as of 2023. Tesla is already about 13% of the global luxury car market, based on its total automotive revenues of $82.42 billion in 2023. It is questionable just how much further that market share can be expanded.</p><p>Europe&#39;s luxury carmakers are gearing up to fight for market share by keeping manufacturing costs low, as I thoroughly examined in this article. Elsewhere, competition will continue to be fierce as well, especially given that the luxury segment tends to be where the profits are for EV makers. We should not write off the ICE-powered cars from retaining a significant portion of the global luxury car segment, as well as the European car market. Many luxury car enthusiasts continue to prefer it to electric.</p><p>The global luxury car market will probably continue to expand, although it might disappoint current expectations of it reaching the trillion-dollar mark by the end of the decade. Tesla&#39;s sales growth may increasingly reflect the growth in the global luxury car market, as well as the growth of the EV segment within the overall luxury car market. I expect EVs to become dominant within the luxury car segment worldwide, perhaps by the end of the decade, whereas as of 2022, they captured about 30% of the luxury car market.</p><h2 id=\"id_1663658810\">Conclusion:</h2><p>Within this context, I expect Tesla&#39;s shares to mostly trade between $100/share and $300/share for the foreseeable future. Buyers will flock to it as it approaches $100/share, where its valuation will look increasingly reasonable, and sell as it approaches $300/share, where it will look increasingly out of step in terms of its fundamentals. For reference, with all else held equal, If Tesla stock were to trade at $100/share, its P/E ratio would drop to about 31, just slightly above the S&amp;P 500 P/E ratio currently at just over 26. Based on my view, I see Tesla&#39;s P/E ratio approaching the market&#39;s average P/E as a likely bottom, namely that most investors would choose Tesla over owning the broader market, once P/E ratios converge. It was the same reasoning that led me to buy Tesla stock early last year as it went to $120/share.

With the backing of solid profit margins, it can afford to undercut competitors, especially in the Developed World, most of which are still struggling to produce & sell EVs at a profit. Europe might emerge as an exception, where Tesla bet on producing its cars in Germany, while much of its German & Chinese competition is building up capacity in Hungary where there is a clear comparative advantage in labor, energy, and government taxation costs. Lower production costs mean those companies that are investing heavily in EV production capacity in Hungary and other Eastern EU states, are increasingly in a position to engage in price discounting to counter anything that Tesla may try to do. Tesla is losing ground to its competition in Europe within the EV market this decade and it may continue to do so going forward. Using the European market as a case study, we can conclude that Tesla's future outlook in terms of sales looks set to be one of moderate growth, which does not support current P/E valuations. As such, I see Tesla stock trading in the $100/share to $300/share range for the foreseeable future.Tesla's Q4 results:For the fourth quarter of 2023, Tesla saw an increase in revenues of 3%, to $25.17 billion. It is nowhere near the growth levels one might expect from a company that currently has a forward P/E ratio of about 60, in other words, about two and a half times higher than the S&P index. The net income attributable to shareholders increased by 115%, to $7.93 billion, which does partially justify continuing to have Tesla stock trading at a P/E ratio that is priced for growth. It should also be noted that profit margins were healthy, with net earnings at 31.5% of revenues. It is an enviable level of profitability, even as many car companies are still trying to figure out how to profitable sell EVs.Growth in vehicle deliveries was significant, with a 13% increase in deliveries in Q4, 2023, compared with Q4, 2022. The reason why it did not translate into a corresponding increase in revenues is in large part due to a decline in the average price of Tesla cars sold. One factor was Tesla's policy of discounting its cars to start fighting for market share.How Tesla compares to peers in terms of EV market share in Europe:Tesla is currently far from being the most dominant EV maker & seller in Europe.Data source: InsideEVsIt is notably beating European luxury carmakers like Mercedes (OTCPK:MBGYY) & BMW (OTCPK:BMWYY), both of which I expected to do a lot better in the EV sector, given that they are already catering to the same income demographic that tends to buy EVs. Both of those companies are in the process of taking part in what is shaping up to become a marriage made in Hungary, between European carmakers and Asian EV battery producers, which they hope to help them conquer the European EV market.Tesla's potential production cost disadvantage in Europe, as competitors flock to more cost-effective places.Hungary is emerging as a world leader in EV battery production, thanks to Asian investments and it is also seeing massive inflows of investments in EV assembly plants.Visual CapitalistWith new investments such as CATL in the pipeline, Hungary will probably maintain its role as Europe's largest EV battery producer for the foreseeable future, and with that, it will also play a significant role as an EV manufacturing hub. None of this happened accidentally. Hungary offers significant advantages, especially for manufacturing enterprises.Corporate taxes.Hungary's current corporate tax rate is the lowest in the EU, while Germany's is the second-highest in Europe.Tax FoundationIt is difficult to quantify just how great of an impact corporate tax rates will have on producing and selling an EV. We should keep in mind that those lower corporate tax rates work their way through the entire supply chain that supports the final assembly of EVs.Energy costs.Hungary is one of the lower-cost places in terms of energy prices, while Germany is among the highest in the non-household segment of the economy.ECThe difference in electricity costs for non-household consumers may not be great, but it is yet another cost advantage that German car manufacturers, as well as now BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF) are looking to take advantage of. These costs also work throughout the supply chain.Labor costs.When most people think of outsourcing, within the European context from Western Europe toward the Eastern part of the EU, labor costs tend to come to mind instantly. There is no significant advantage that Hungary has over its immediate neighbors, such as Slovakia or Romania in this regard. Average gross wages in Hungary are about 3 times lower than they are in Germany. That is a significant difference. It is hard to accurately quantify what all these savings mean for Germany's automakers, in particular when it comes to producing EVs at a cost advantage relative to Tesla. A decade-old estimate from Mercedes (OTCPK:MBGAF) suggests that at least back then the savings per vehicle produced in Hungary were as high as 30% of total production costs. Much has changed since then, including a narrowing in the wage gap. On the other hand, energy prices increased more dramatically in Germany over the past few years.German EV manufacturers to produce models that directly compete with Tesla models in Hungary. BYD joins the trend.BMW's Hungary EV & new generation battery plant.BMW is set to produce some of the models that compete with Tesla's Model Y at its new plant in Hungary by the end of next year. A successor to the BMW iX3 is one of the models that BMW plans to produce there. The successor version of the model will feature BMW's in-house battery, which is supposed to provide 30% faster charging, as well as up to 30% more range. Its current range of 240 miles could thus get a significant boost that will take it above 300 miles. It remains to be seen whether or not the price will also be lowered. It currently sells at just under $90,000 for the base model, versus Tesla's model Y which sells at a starting price of $46,000. BMW has a long way to go to close that price gap, but it is possible that with the cost savings related to producing its cars in Hungary, it will be able to significantly lower the price, even as it improves on performance.Mercedes & Audi have a long-established presence in Hungary that is now being retooled for EV production.Mercedes & Audi have a well-established presence in Hungary. Mercedes decided to use a flex plant model, where it can easily switch between producing EVs or conventional cars. The electric EQB SUV with a range of 240 miles, starts at $53,900 and is being manufactured in Hungary. It is price-competitive compared with Tesla's Model Y, but it lacks a bit of range, which seems to be at the heart of the lack of success that Mercedes is seeing in the EV market. Volkswagen's (OTCPK:VLKAF) Audi Q4 and other Volkswagen group EV models have electric motors built in Hungary, which helps it save money on labor, taxes, and energy costs.Tesla's main global competitor looks to compete in Europe.BYD seems to have the same idea as German EV makers, given that it recently announced plans to build its first EV assembly plant in Hungary. It could be argued that it might be a way to simply try to maximize profits for BYD and all other companies that are converging on the one country that seems to have had a longer-term vision of catering to the EV industry. The profit motive may be the primary driver of EV producers and battery manufacturers converging to the place where they can be arguably the most cost-effective in Europe. If or when the battle for EV market share in Europe intensifies, Tesla's main competitors seem to be well-positioned to compete. Tesla's decision to assemble its cars in Germany on the other hand may have lessened its ability to do in Europe what it has done for most of the past decade, namely outcompete its Western market competitors, even as it became a highly profitable company.Investment implications.The reasoning behind the upgrade from sell to hold.I bought Tesla stock last year at just over $120/share and sold once it reached $195, as I pointed out in an article at the beginning of 2023. My current upgrade to a hold from a sell back then is by no means a reflection of a change in my overall view in terms of performance expectations. The only difference is that back in February 2023 Tesla stock was on an upswing, so an opportunity arose to take profits, while now it is on a downswing, thus I am looking for the price to be right once again to get back in. In other words, it is now once again a stock of interest that I am watching, thus the upgrade.Tesla stock price & other metrics (Seeking Alpha)I missed out last year as it went as high as over $290/share, however as I write this, Tesla stock trades just slightly below my exit price point, therefore holding would not have earned me any extra gains on the trade as of right now. I am currently looking to start buying Tesla stock again if it drops below $150 or so, which is when the P/E ratio will start to resemble reasonable fundamentals of the company as I perceive them. As we can see, even after the recent decline in its stock price, Tesla stock is still trading at about twice the P/E valuation of the overall market.Tesla's higher P/E relative to peers may be partially justified.One of the bear cases that can be made for Tesla is the massive discrepancy between its P/E and that of its automotive industry peers. For instance, BMW, which I foresee as becoming a major competitor in Europe for EV market share, especially within the luxury segment, has a forward P/E of only about 5.BMW stock and other financial metrics (Seeking Alpha)It also offers a very generous dividend yield of about 8.7%, which in theory should justify a higher P/E. The difference is that BMW is far from being a growth stock. It may increase EV sales in the future, but it will likely come at a cost, with conventional car sales set to decline.BMWAs we can see, yearly sales have been holding flat in the past years. My personal view is that the EU EV transition plan to 2035 will lead to an overall decline in European car sales. BMW might see a net decline in total sales as a result, even though comparatively speaking it might emerge as one of the least-impacted European automakers, as I pointed out in an article in 2022. I do not think that Tesla's growth prospects justify a P/E ratio that is about 12 times higher than BMW's, but its growth profile, versus the no growth profile of BMW, does justify a significantly higher P/E valuation.Tesla lost EV market share in Europe this decade.With my analysis of Tesla's situation in Europe in mind, my perception of Tesla's overall fundamentals is that it is maturing into a solid company within the global auto industry, with strong profit margins, as well as the potential for continued moderate long-term sales growth.Data sources: Good car bad car.net, InsideEVsAs we can see, Tesla continues to capture more of the total automotive market share in Europe, together with the rest of the EV industry. Even as the EV industry slowed significantly in 2023 in terms of increasing its automotive sector market share, Tesla still managed to significantly increase its market share. That may not necessarily be an indication of how things will go this year and beyond, because as I pointed out, most of its competitors are gearing up to compete more intensely. Furthermore, looking at a multi-year performance, for instance, from 2019 until the present, the overall EV industry in Europe outperformed Tesla. Tesla's share of the European auto market grew about four-fold in the period, while the overall share of the EV industry grew about seven-fold, as the chart shows. In other words, this decade, Tesla is underperforming the overall European EV market in terms of sales growth.The size of the global luxury car market is limited and Tesla already plays a sizable role, therefore it is unclear how much more of it is up for grabs.It should also be noted that all of Tesla's current models target the luxury car segment in terms of potential consumers, which is as true in Europe as it is in the US or China. The total global luxury car market is estimated to be $655 billion as of 2023. Tesla is already about 13% of the global luxury car market, based on its total automotive revenues of $82.42 billion in 2023. It is questionable just how much further that market share can be expanded.Europe's luxury carmakers are gearing up to fight for market share by keeping manufacturing costs low, as I thoroughly examined in this article. Elsewhere, competition will continue to be fierce as well, especially given that the luxury segment tends to be where the profits are for EV makers. We should not write off the ICE-powered cars from retaining a significant portion of the global luxury car segment, as well as the European car market. Many luxury car enthusiasts continue to prefer it to electric.The global luxury car market will probably continue to expand, although it might disappoint current expectations of it reaching the trillion-dollar mark by the end of the decade. Tesla's sales growth may increasingly reflect the growth in the global luxury car market, as well as the growth of the EV segment within the overall luxury car market. I expect EVs to become dominant within the luxury car segment worldwide, perhaps by the end of the decade, whereas as of 2022, they captured about 30% of the luxury car market.Conclusion:Within this context, I expect Tesla's shares to mostly trade between $100/share and $300/share for the foreseeable future. Buyers will flock to it as it approaches $100/share, where its valuation will look increasingly reasonable, and sell as it approaches $300/share, where it will look increasingly out of step in terms of its fundamentals. For reference, with all else held equal, If Tesla stock were to trade at $100/share, its P/E ratio would drop to about 31, just slightly above the S&P 500 P/E ratio currently at just over 26. Based on my view, I see Tesla's P/E ratio approaching the market's average P/E as a likely bottom, namely that most investors would choose Tesla over owning the broader market, once P/E ratios converge. It was the same reasoning that led me to buy Tesla stock early last year as it went to $120/share. I just don't see much downside for this stock once it gets close to the overall market in terms of valuation. Therefore it is worth buying its stock whenever it falls below $150/share in my view, knowing that the downside is limited from that point on and selling once its shares rise above $200/share.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":71,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":270987698766072,"gmtCreate":1707196900258,"gmtModify":1707196904499,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Drop please","listText":"Drop please","text":"Drop please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/270987698766072","repostId":"1146764800","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1146764800","pubTimestamp":1707190200,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1146764800?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2024-02-06 11:30","language":"en","title":"RBA Leaves Cash Rate at 4.35pc, Keeps Tightening Bias","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1146764800","media":"The Australian Financial Review","summary":"The number: The Reserve Bank of Australia left the cash rate on hold at 4.35 per cent as widely predicted by the market and economists.Why it matters: It is the central bank’s first policy meeting this year under the new format of a two-day board meeting and media conference.

This time around, Meta Platforms definitely belongs in the “triumph” category and truly earned its “Magnificent Seven” designation. My META stock forecast indicates that, while the stock might not look super-cheap right now, it’s worth owning for the remainder of 2024 at least.</p><p>Indeed, you’ll get more than the usual share-price appreciation from Meta Platforms this year. You’ll also get a nice bonus, which passive-income investors ought to appreciate. So, let’s delve into the details and uncover the ever-improving bull case for Meta Platforms.</p><h2 id=\"id_1859022231\">META Stock Zooms Ahead on Terrific Quarterly Results</h2><p>The skeptics can question Meta Platforms’ valuation all day long if they want to. They can also look askance at CEO Mark Zuckerberg as he obsesses about the metaverse. None of this, however, negates Meta Platforms’ undeniably positive fourth-quarter 2023 financial results.</p><p>These results, along with Meta Platforms’ forward guidance, could be described as across-the-board beats. For example, the company reported adjusted earnings of $5.33 per share, which surpassed the analysts’ consensus estimate of $4.82 per share.</p><p>Furthermore, while Wall Street expected Meta Platforms to generate quarterly revenue of $39.1 billion, the company actually reported $40.1 billion. This represents 25% year-over-year growth — not too shabby, you must admit.</p><p>Additionally, Meta Platforms guided for first-quarter 2024 revenue of $34.5 billion to $37 billion. There’s a beat here, as well, since Wall Street had projected current-quarter revenue of $33.9 billion for Meta Platforms. Therefore, it’s not too shocking that META stock jumped after the company released its data and outlook.</p><h2 id=\"id_1172239678\">Buybacks and Dividends, Oh My!</h2><p>Does Meta Platforms actually respect its shareholders? Skeptical investors might have asked that question in the past, but now there’s a definitive answer: Yes!</p><p>One way for Meta Platforms to demonstrate respect for its investors is by repurchasing the company’s own shares. This reduces the pool of available shares, thereby keeping the supply low and potentially putting a floor on the META stock price. To that end, Meta Platforms announced a $50 billion increase in the company’s share-repurchase program.</p><p>Moreover, Meta Platforms showed respect for the shareholders by disclosing the company’s upcoming first-ever dividend payment. It’s only 50 cents per share, which isn’t a mind-blowing amount when the stock price is over $400.</p><p>Still, the market is already quite enthused about Meta Platforms finally initiating dividend distributions after many years of not doing so. It’s actually prompting questions about whether other “Magnificent Seven” companies will follow Meta Platforms’ lead and initiate their own dividend programs.</p><h2 id=\"id_3485145544\">Bullish META Stock Forecast: What More Could You Ask For?</h2><p>I suppose you could ask for an ultra-low valuation, but let’s not nitpick. Meta Platforms’ investors now get growth and momentum, along with dividend payouts and the assurance that comes with corporate share buybacks.</p><p>It’s about as close to the total package that any reasonable investor could ask for. Consequently, my META stock forecast is definitely bullish. Feel free to pick up some Meta shares today, and get ready to reinvest the upcoming dividend distributions.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace_stock_picks","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

This time around, Meta Platforms definitely belongs in the “triumph” category and truly earned its “Magnificent Seven” designation. My META stock forecast indicates that, while the stock might not look super-cheap right now, it’s worth owning for the remainder of 2024 at least.Indeed, you’ll get more than the usual share-price appreciation from Meta Platforms this year. You’ll also get a nice bonus, which passive-income investors ought to appreciate. So, let’s delve into the details and uncover the ever-improving bull case for Meta Platforms.META Stock Zooms Ahead on Terrific Quarterly ResultsThe skeptics can question Meta Platforms’ valuation all day long if they want to. They can also look askance at CEO Mark Zuckerberg as he obsesses about the metaverse. None of this, however, negates Meta Platforms’ undeniably positive fourth-quarter 2023 financial results.These results, along with Meta Platforms’ forward guidance, could be described as across-the-board beats. For example, the company reported adjusted earnings of $5.33 per share, which surpassed the analysts’ consensus estimate of $4.82 per share.Furthermore, while Wall Street expected Meta Platforms to generate quarterly revenue of $39.1 billion, the company actually reported $40.1 billion. This represents 25% year-over-year growth — not too shabby, you must admit.Additionally, Meta Platforms guided for first-quarter 2024 revenue of $34.5 billion to $37 billion. There’s a beat here, as well, since Wall Street had projected current-quarter revenue of $33.9 billion for Meta Platforms. Therefore, it’s not too shocking that META stock jumped after the company released its data and outlook.Buybacks and Dividends, Oh My!Does Meta Platforms actually respect its shareholders? Skeptical investors might have asked that question in the past, but now there’s a definitive answer: Yes!One way for Meta Platforms to demonstrate respect for its investors is by repurchasing the company’s own shares. This reduces the pool of available shares, thereby keeping the supply low and potentially putting a floor on the META stock price. To that end, Meta Platforms announced a $50 billion increase in the company’s share-repurchase program.Moreover, Meta Platforms showed respect for the shareholders by disclosing the company’s upcoming first-ever dividend payment. It’s only 50 cents per share, which isn’t a mind-blowing amount when the stock price is over $400.Still, the market is already quite enthused about Meta Platforms finally initiating dividend distributions after many years of not doing so. It’s actually prompting questions about whether other “Magnificent Seven” companies will follow Meta Platforms’ lead and initiate their own dividend programs.Bullish META Stock Forecast: What More Could You Ask For?I suppose you could ask for an ultra-low valuation, but let’s not nitpick. Meta Platforms’ investors now get growth and momentum, along with dividend payouts and the assurance that comes with corporate share buybacks.It’s about as close to the total package that any reasonable investor could ask for. Consequently, my META stock forecast is definitely bullish. Feel free to pick up some Meta shares today, and get ready to reinvest the upcoming dividend distributions.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":66,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":620181683,"gmtCreate":1669541454045,"gmtModify":1676538206116,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Apple time to adjust down","listText":"Apple time to adjust down","text":"Apple time to adjust down","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":16,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/620181683","repostId":"1170146184","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1170146184","pubTimestamp":1669522674,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1170146184?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-11-27 12:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Tech Stocks You Can Count on in This Uncertain Market","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1170146184","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Here are three top-quality tech stocks investors can count on in the long term.Apple(AAPL): Warren B","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Here are three top-quality tech stocks investors can count on in the long term.</li><li><b>Apple</b>(<b>AAPL</b>): Warren Buffett continues to buy because of its economic moat.</li><li><b>Advanced Micro Devices</b>(<b>AMD</b>): Analysts love this beaten-down tech name.</li><li><b>Nvidia</b>(<b>NVDA</b>): The bad news is already priced into downed stocks like Nvidia.</li></ul><p>2022 was a tough one for tech stocks.

That makes it the largest U.S. bank failure since Washington Mutual in 2008.</p><p>One unique aspect of SVB was its decades-long focus on the venture capital industry. The bank&#39;s loan growth had been slowing as interest rates rose. Meanwhile, when announcing its $21 billion dollars in securities sales on Thursday, SVB said it had taken the action not only to lower its interest-rate risk, but because &#34;client cash burn has remained elevated and increased further in February, resulting in lower deposits than forecasted.&#34;</p><p>SVB estimated it would book a $1.8 billion loss on the securities sale and said it would raise $2.25 billion in capital through two offerings of new shares and a convertible bond offering. That offering wasn&#39;t completed.</p><p>So this appears to be an example of what can go wrong with a bank focused on a particular industry. The combination of a balance sheet heavy with securities and relatively light on loans, in a rising-rate environment in which bond prices have declined and in which depositors specific to that industry are themselves suffering from a decline in cash, led to a liquidity problem.</p><h3>Unrealized losses on securities</h3><p>Banks leverage their capital by gathering deposits or borrowing money either to lend the money out or purchase securities. They earn the spread between their average yield on loans and investments and their average cost for funds.</p><p>The securities investments are held in two buckets:</p><p>In its regulatory Consolidated Financial Statements for Holding Companies--FR Y-9C, filed with the Federal Reserve, SVB Financial, reported a negative $1.911 billion in accumulated other comprehensive income as of Dec. 31. That is line 26.b on Schedule HC of the report, for those keeping score at home. You can look up regulatory reports for any U.S. bank holding company, savings and loan holding company or subsidiary institution at the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council&#39;s National Information Center. Be sure to get the name of the company or institution right -- or you may be looking at the wrong entity.</p><p>Here&#39;s how accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) is defined in the report: &#34;Includes, but is not limited to, net unrealized holding gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities, accumulated net gains (losses) on cash flow hedges, cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments, and accumulated defined benefit pension and other postretirement plan adjustments.&#34;</p><p>In other words, it was mostly unrealized losses on SVB&#39;s available-for-sale securities. The bank booked an estimated $1.8 billion loss when selling &#34;substantially all&#34; of these securities on March 8.</p><p>The list of 10 banks with unfavorable interest margin trends</p><p>On the regulatory call reports, AOCI is added to regulatory capital. Since SVB&#39;s AOCI was negative (because of its unrealized losses on AFS securities) as of Dec. 31, it lowered the company&#39;s total equity capital. So a fair way to gauge the negative AOCI to the bank&#39;s total equity capital would be to divide the negative AOCI by total equity capital less AOCI -- effectively adding the unrealized losses back to total equity capital for the calculation.</p><p>Getting back to our list of 10 banks that raised similar red margin flags to those of SVB, here&#39;s the same group, in the same order, showing negative AOCI as a percentage of total equity capital as of Dec. 31. We have added SVB to the bottom of the list. The data was provided by FactSet:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/12eb7c2420e69b60c526a6b6ef79626d\" tg-width=\"887\" tg-height=\"715\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Ally Financial Inc. (ALLY) -- the third largest bank on the list by Dec. 31 total assets -- stands out as having the largest percentage of negative accumulated comprehensive income relative to total equity capital as of Dec. 31.</p><p>To be sure, these numbers don&#39;t mean that a bank is in trouble, or that it will be forced to sell securities for big losses. But SVB had both a troubling pattern for its interest margins and what appeared to be a relatively high percentage of securities losses relative to capital as of Dec. 31.</p><h3>Banks with the highest percentage of negative AOCI to capital</h3><p>There are 108 banks in the Russell 3000 Index  that had total assets of at least $10.0 billion as of Dec. 31. FactSet provided AOCI and total equity capital data for 105 of them. Here are the 20 which had the highest ratios of negative AOCI to total equity capital less AOCI (as explained above) as of Dec. 31:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8c786a5e88cfaa8510ac5458b4a31b86\" tg-width=\"884\" tg-height=\"618\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6bbd38b51d92ae37f23e7fbff46e9c08\" tg-width=\"879\" tg-height=\"668\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Again, this is not to suggest that any particular bank on this list based on Dec. 31 data is facing the type of perfect storm that has hurt SVB Financial. A bank sitting on large paper losses on its AFS securities may not need to sell them. In fact <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CMA\">Comerica Inc.</a>, which tops the list, also improved its interest margin the most over the past four quarters, as shown here.</p><p>But it is interesting to note that <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SI\">Silvergate Capital Corp.</a>, which focused on serving clients in the virtual currency industry, made the list. It is shuttering its bank subsidiary voluntarily.</p><p>Another bank on the list facing concern among depositors is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SBNY\">Signature Bank</a> of New York, which has a diverse business model, but has also faced a backlash related to the services it provides to the virtual currency industry. The bank’s shares fell 12% on Thursday and were down another 24% in afternoon trading on Friday.</p><p>Signature Bank said in a statement that it was in a “strong, well-diversified financial position.”</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>20 Banks That Are Sitting on Huge Potential Securities Losses--As Was SVB</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\">\n20 Banks That Are Sitting on Huge Potential Securities Losses--As Was SVB\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2023-03-12 14:16</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SIVBO\">SVB Financial Group</a> faced a perfect storm, but there are plenty of other banks that would face big losses if they were forced to dump securities to raise cash</p><p>Silicon Valley Bank has failed following a run on deposits, after its parent company&#39;s share price crashed a record 60% on Thursday.</p><p>Trading of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SIVBP\">SVB Financial Group</a>&#39;s <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SIVB\">$(SIVB)$</a> stock was halted early Friday, after the shares plunged again in premarket trading.

Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.</p><h2>Leisure, Travel Industry Stocks</h2><p>Shares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.</p><p>Airline stocks&nbsp;like <b>American Airlines</b>, <b>United Airlines</b> and <b>Delta Air Lines</b> surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.</p><p>Cruise stocks like <b>Carnival</b>, <b>Royal Caribbean</b> and <b>Norwegian Cruise Line</b> are showing similar patterns.</p><p>Meanwhile, shares of boat makers <b>MarineMax</b> and <b>Brunswick</b> as well as RV makers <b>Winnebago</b> and <b>Thor Industries</b> need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.</p><p>Hotel leader <b>Marriott</b> has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.</p><p>Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a></b> rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.</p><p>Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"</p><p>Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.</p><p>Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.</p><p>In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.</p><p>Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.</p><p>Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.</p><h2><b>Vacation Shift Favors These Travel Stocks</b></h2><p>Hotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.</p><p>Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes &amp; Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes &amp; Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.</p><p>\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.</p><p>Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities — not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.</p><p>\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.</p><h2><b>Seaworthy Travel Stocks </b></h2><p>Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.</p><p>One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.</p><p>But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections. The National Marine Manufacturers Association says new powerboat sales surged 34% in February compared to the same time period last year.</p><p>\"Inventory levels of new boats are the leanest they've ever been, and boats are being sold as soon as they hit the marketplace as manufacturers work to fulfill the backlog of orders,\" said Vicky Yu, senior director of business intelligence for NMMA. \"While new boat sales slowed in early 2021 following record sales last year, we are still seeing elevated levels as more Americans seek out boating as a way to spend quality time with loved ones.\"</p><p>The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick&nbsp;as well as sport boat maker <b>Malibu Boats</b>.</p><p>\"It's really turning out to be a great alternative for people to stay close to home and with their family and friends and enjoy the boating lifestyle,\" MarineMax CFO Michael McLamb said in a conference call after reporting earnings April 22.</p><h2><b>Travel Stocks For Being Alone Together</b></h2><p>The desire to spend more time with friends and family is also spurring RV sales. They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.</p><p>\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.</p><p>The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call. That includes power sports, boating and RVs.</p><p>Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.</p><p>\"We also believe the time (spent) recently with family and friends has reinforced that they'd like to do more of that in the future,\" Happe said. \"And families and individuals will be reevaluating how they spend their leisure time going forward.\"</p><p>Airbnb pointed to another sign of this trend among leisure and travel stocks. Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.</p><h2><b>Work-Life Rebalance</b></h2><p>As people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.</p><p>Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle. In particular, they can try to balance work, leisure and travel differently.</p><p>Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"</p><p>Airbnb says the share of bookings longer than 28 days jumped to 24% in Q1 from 14% in 2019. The company doesn't consider this travel.</p><p>\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"</p><h2>Future Of Business Travel?</h2><p>That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.</p><p>Experts say fewer workers may fly for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-day intracompany meetings. However, more crucial business will still require people to fly for in-person meetings.</p><p>When it's time to show up in person, Airbnb expects workers will travel together more often. That trend also has ramifications for Airbnb stock and others. Employees who work in different cities might stay in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> house when they visit headquarters. They could share meals together at the kitchen table in the morning or evening.</p><p>That may be a welcome change for road warriors, who pop in an out of cities and squeeze in sightseeing along the way.</p><p>\"They don't miss business travel,\" Chesky said. \"They don't miss standing in line in front of a museum or a landmark … getting a photo with a selfie stick.\"</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>The Pandemic May Have Changed Vacations – And Travel Stocks Like Airbnb, Marriott, Winnebago – Forever</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\">\nThe Pandemic May Have Changed Vacations – And Travel Stocks Like Airbnb, Marriott, Winnebago – Forever\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/608dd68a89ed486e18f64efe3136266c);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Investors </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-05-28 23:30</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>Your next vacation will likely be more private, luxurious or family oriented than your trips in the past, and business trips may never be the same.

For leisure and travel stocks like Airbnb that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people.

But for Airbnb, which relies on people to open their homes to guests, the company will need to ramp up its number of hosts instead of building out more real estate or adding flights to meet demand.\nIt’s a similar problem faced by other companies in the gig economy likeUber, which recently announced a$250 million stimulusin an effort to bring more drivers to its platform.\n“As vaccination rates increase in the United States, we are observing that consumer demand for Mobility is recovering faster than driver availability, and consumer demand for Delivery continues to exceed courier availability,”Uber saidin a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.\nChesky said Airbnb isn’t likely to offer “a lot of incentives” to bring new hosts on board since there’s already a huge amount of demand for service.\n“I think that all we have to do is just continue to tell our story of Airbnb, and the benefits of hosting. And we are seeing a lot of interest,” he said.\nAs part of that, Chesky said the company has done things like launch its “made possible by hosts” ad campaign. The company rolled out a number of advertisements using photographs from Airbnb guests staying in homes around the world, in an effort to create a sense of nostalgia.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":93,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3566190997597521","authorId":"3566190997597521","name":"Jia jia","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a5e41a8432102fa946fee83eeb1384d7","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"content":"Servicing Business, owner out money pay property and Buyer pay money. admin Cost? $:$ hehehe","text":"Servicing Business, owner out money pay property and Buyer pay money. admin Cost? $:$ hehehe","html":"Servicing Business, owner out money pay property and Buyer pay money. admin Cost? $:$ hehehe"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":191910883,"gmtCreate":1620832603042,"gmtModify":1704349126075,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Awesome","listText":"Awesome","text":"Awesome","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/191910883","repostId":"1196961143","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":71,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":235337810825224,"gmtCreate":1698488333934,"gmtModify":1698488338394,"author":{"id":"3574984385549978","authorId":"3574984385549978","name":"JimmyChua","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Can nio use self charging points?","listText":"Can nio use self charging points?","text":"Can nio use self charging points?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/235337810825224","repostId":"2378874718","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":317,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
