Bringing EVs to the Gig Economy</b></p>\n<p>Many of the biggest EV stories of late have come from either the automakers rolling out new models or companies working on building out the infrastructure...</p>\n<p>But Facedrive is taking a different approach.</p>\n<p>Instead, they’re using the cars those automakers have already made and turning them into an entire EV-related ecosystem.</p>\n<p>So just like Uber has built their $96 billion business off leveraging cars they never manufactured, bought, or sold…</p>\n<p>Facedrive (TSXV:FD,OTC:FDVRF) connects customers looking to hail a ride, providing an eco-friendly solution.</p>\n<p>Their model is simple.</p>\n<p>When customers request a ride, they get their pick between riding to their destination in a standard gas-powered car, a hybrid or an electric vehicle (for no extra charge to them).</p>\n<p>Then Facedrive’s algorithm crunches the numbers, setting aside a portion of the fare to plant trees, offsetting the carbon footprint from the ride.</p>\n<p>Through next-gen technology and partnerships, they’re bringing EVs into the gig economy and making a splash.</p>\n<p>That’s because Facedrive has also added a food delivery service, which has taken off since so many have been stuck at home during global lockdowns.</p>\n<p>Today, they’re delivering over 4,100 orders per day on average. And after growing to 19 major cities, they plan to expand to more cities throughout the U.S. and Canada soon.</p>\n<p>But they’ve also gone beyond applying EVs to the gig economy and are offering a way for people to get behind the wheel themselves without the usual sticker shock.</p>\n<p><b>2 - Reinventing The Standard Model</b></p>\n<p>At this point there’s no question there’s a growing demand for EVs from consumers, as this trend has spread from Europe and Asia and through North America.</p>\n<p>And almost 3 out of 4 younger buyers even say they’re willing to pay higher prices to own an electric vehicle.</p>\n<p>But with Facedrive’s acquisition of Steer, you can get the benefits without the large upfront cost.</p>\n<p>Facedrive recently acquired the EV subscription company from the largest clean energy producer in the United States, and they’re aiming to change the way people think about using EVs.</p>\n<p>Steer has combined the Netflix subscription model with the EV boom to flip the traditional car ownership model on its head.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/691bfa3cd26d3a5a1a9ca1f3338eb551\" tg-width=\"450\" tg-height=\"181\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>With Facedrive’s acquisition of Steer, customers pay a simple monthly fee like with Netflix, and they get access to their choice of EVs from a fleet at their disposal.</p>\n<p>So they can borrow one whenever they need it instead of buying an EV outright - and at a fraction of the cost.</p>\n<p>They’re up and running in the Washington D.C. market already…</p>\n<p>And they’ve seen so much success there that they’ve decided to expand further north, to roll out the service in Toronto as well.</p>\n<p>With two of the largest metro areas in North America in the mix, Facedrive has started paving the path for a completely unique way to save drivers money in the EV boom.</p>\n<p>But their biggest announcement recently came thanks to their willingness to think outside the box and serve the most pressing need we’re seeing today.</p>\n<p><b>3 - Taking On The Biggest Challenges</b></p>\n<p>While Facedrive (TSXV:FD,OTC:FDVRF) has been busy helping bring EVs to mainstream use in creative ways, they’ve also found a way to help address the issue we’ve all been facing for the last year.</p>\n<p>By partnering with the University of Waterloo, they’ve created a wearable contact tracing technology called TraceSCAN.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e20d8dc5c6b5273656030ef394657c83\" tg-width=\"450\" tg-height=\"189\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>It’s designed to help alert those without cell phones after they’ve been in contact with someone who’s tested positive for COVID-19.</p>\n<p>That’s great news for those working in schools, airports, mining, long-term care facilities, and more.</p>\n<p>And the demand for TraceSCAN has surged in recent months, as businesses work to open safely and responsibly.</p>\n<p>Facedrive has now signed an agreement with Canada’s largest airline, Air Canada, to use this breakthrough technology.</p>\n<p>They’re also in discussions to continue TraceSCAN’s growth with major multinational corporations.</p>\n<p>But perhaps the most exciting news came from a government announcement in Canada just weeks ago.</p>\n<p><b>In February, the Ontario government announced they’re investing $2.5 million to help speed up the deployment of TraceSCAN to more users.</b></p>\n<p>This means TraceSCAN’s technology has gotten another vote of confidence in their innovative technology... to the tune of millions from the government.</p>\n<p>As governments and businesses around the world are doing whatever they can to stop the spread of the virus, this major announcement could help bring attention to Facedrive’s TraceSCAN technology…</p>\n<p>Applying more pressure to other organizations and governments to act responsibly and start investing more seriously in contact tracing technology.</p>\n<p><b>Setting Up For Electric Everything in 2021</b></p>\n<p>As 2021 heats up, we’re seeing that the EV boom isn’t just limited to manufacturing sedans anymore.</p>\n<p>It involves building an entire electric ecosystem and re-imagining what transportation looks like on all fronts.</p>\n<p>That’s why Facedrive (TSXV:FD,OTC:FDVRF) aims see their growth wave continue as they bring EVs to ridesharing, food delivery, and beyond.</p>\n<p>Here are a few other companies who could profit in the electric future:</p>\n<p><b>Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA</b>) has been one of the most exciting stories on Wall Street for the past two years. And that’s largely thanks to its CEO, Elon Musk. As a visionary in the tech world, Musk built his empire on <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a> and then pivoted to a cause closer to his heart, Tesla. Musk has had his eye on prize long before the green energy hype started building. In fact, he released the first Tesla Roadster back in 2008, making electric vehicles desirable when people were laughing at first-gen electric vehicles. Since then, Tesla’s stock has skyrocketed by over 14,000%. Largely thanks to its ambitious approach to a greener tomorrow</p>\n<p>Tesla isn’t just about cars, however, it’s diving head first into the battery market, as well. And by extension, could completely transform renewable energy as we know it. Tesla’s battery technology is a game-changer because batteries will be the first big step towards decentralized electric grids, another innovation fueled by the dramatic rise of blockchain technology, another cause that Musk is passionate about.</p>\n<p>Elon Musk is a major proponent of bitcoin, like his tech industry peer Square and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a>’s Jack Dorsey. Musk made a number of posts on Dorsey’s Twitter platform highlighting the benefits of cryptocurrency, and even put his own money where his mouth is, announcing that Tesla would be investing $1.5 billion into bitcoin, with plans to begin accepting bitcoin payments for Tesla products in the near to medium-term</p>\n<p>Elon Musk is truly a visionary of this decade. From his electric vehicle innovations and space ambitions to his forward-thinking approach on cryptocurrencies, Elon Musk may well become the first trillionaire, and Tesla shareholders are set to ride the wave.</p>\n<p><b>NIO Limited (NYSE:NIO)</b> has had an incredible year, taking the market by storm. Just a year ago, no one could have imagined how successful the company was going to be. In fact, many analysts were ready to leave it for dead. But the Chinese Tesla rival powered on, blew away estimates, and most importantly, kept its balance sheet in line. And it’s paid off. In a big way.</p>\n<p>Nio has made all the right moves over the past year to win over investors and turn heads on the streets and in the marketplace. On November 18th, NIO revealed a pair of sedans that even the biggest Tesla die-hard would struggle to pass up. The vehicles, meant to compete with Tesla’s Model 3, could be just what the company needs to pull back control of its local market from Elon Musk’s electric vehicle giant.</p>\n<p>In addition to its automotive push, however, Nio, Tesla’s largest competitor in China, has also started to offer a batteries-as-a-service concept, in which car buyers can ‘lease’ the battery of their vehicle and save as much as $10,000 on the price of a new vehicle, while also offering buyers the option to swap batteries after a few years of use. And that’s huge news in the lithium world, because it will mean give miners even greater incentive to sign deals with the battery innovator.</p>\n<p><b>General Motors (NYSE:GM) </b>just started a joint venture with Korea’s LG Chem to mass produce next-gen battery cells for electric vehicles, together investing $2.3 billion over the next few years.</p>\n<p>That’s not all its working on, either. In October, auto industry legend, GM announced that it’s majority-owned subsidiary, Cruise, has just received approval from the California DMV to test its autonomous vehicles without a driver. And while they’re not the first to receive such an approval, it’s still huge news for GM.</p>\n<p>Cruise CEO Dan Ammann wrote in a Medium post, “Before the end of the year, we’ll be sending cars out onto the streets of SF — without gasoline and without anyone at the wheel. Because safely removing the driver is the true benchmark of a self-driving car, and because burning fossil fuels is no way to build the future of transportation.”</p>\n<p><b>Ford (NYSE:F) </b>is another Detroit automaker making the jump to EVs - and seeing shares jump in the process. They recently announced they’ll be boosting their spending on EVs to $27 billion through mid-decade.&nbsp;That big investment includes plans of their own to develop an electric cargo van and a plug-in version of their bestseller F-150 pickup truck.</p>\n<p>Ford isn’t going to be left out of the autonomous vehicle boom, either. The company, for its part, has recently revealed plans to launch its self-driving business in 2022. The new vehicles, in partnership with Argo AI, a Philadelphia-based autonomous vehicle startup, will include major upgrades from advanced Lidar technology and high resolution cameras. Ford plans to test these vehicles in Austin, Texas; Detroit; Miami; Palo Alto, California; Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C. as early as this month.</p>\n<p>John Davis, chief engineer of Ford’s autonomous vehicle subsidiary explained, “We’re confident that we’re on the path to launching a safe, reliable and affordable service. And, we look forward to telling you more about how this service will ultimately help make people’s lives better.”</p>\n<p><b>Blink Charging (NASDAQ:BLNK)</b> was one of the darlings of the EV boom last year because of its expansion in EV charging technology. With their chargers deployed at airports, car dealers, hospitals, restaurants, retailers, and schools across the nation, Blink recently saw shares jump 76% in just one month. A wave of new deals, including a collaboration with EnerSys and another with Envoy Technologies to deploy electric vehicles and charging stations adds further support to its success.</p>\n<p>Michael D. Farkas, Founder, CEO and Executive Chairman of Blink noted, “This is an exciting collaboration with EnerSys because it combines the industry-leading technologies of our two companies to provide user-friendly, high powered, next-generation charging alternatives. We are continuously innovating our product offerings to provide more efficient and convenient charging options to the growing community of EV drivers.”</p>\n<p>In addition to the company’s string of high-profile deals, Blink is also consistently posting promising revenues. In fact, earlier this month, the company noted that third-quarter revenue had increased by as much as 18% from the year before despite disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. </p>\n<p>Canada is not likely to be left out of this boom, either. <b>GreenPower Motor (TSX:GPV) </b>is an exciting company that produces larger-scale electric transportation.&nbsp; Right now, it is primarily focused on the North American market, but the sky is the limit as the pressure to go green grows. GreenPower has been on the frontlines of the electric movement, manufacturing affordable battery-electric busses and trucks for over ten years. From school busses to long-distance public transit, GreenPower’s impact on the sector can’t be ignored.</p>\n<p><b>NFI Group (TSX:NFI) </b>is another one of Canada’s most exciting companies in the electric vehicle space. It produces transit busses and motorcycles. NFI had a difficult start to the year, but it since cut its debt and begun to address its cash flow struggles in a meaningful way. Though it remains down from January highs, NFI still offers investors a promising opportunity to capitalize on the electric vehicle boom.</p>\n<p>Recently, NFI has seen an uptick in insider stock purchases which is often a sign that the board and management strongly believe in the future of the company. In addition to its increasingly positive financial reports, it is also one of the few in the business that actually pay dividends out to its investors.</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LAC\">Lithium Americas Corp.</a> (TSX:LAC) </b>is one of North America’s most important and successful pure-play lithium companies. In a way, Lithium Americas is literally fueling the green energy boom. With two world-class lithium projects in Argentina and Nevada, Lithium Americas is well-positioned to ride the wave of growing lithium demand in the years to come. It’s already raised nearly a billion dollars in equity and debt, showing that investors have a ton of interest in the company’s ambitious plans, and it will likely continue its promising growth and expansion for years to come.</p>\n<p>It’s not ignoring the growing demand from investors for responsible and sustainable mining, either. In fact, one of its primary goals is to create a positive impact on society and the environment through its projects. This includes cleaner mining tech, strong workplace safety practices, a range of opportunities for employees, and strong relationships with local governments to ensure that not only are its employees being taken care of, but locals as well.</p>\n<p><b>Celestica (TSX:CLS)</b> is closely tied to the green energy boom. Celestica’s wide range of products includes but is not limited to communications solutions, enterprise and cloud services, aerospace and defense products, renewable energy and enough health technology.</p>\n<p>Thanks to its exposure to the renewable energy market, Celestica’s future is tied hand-in-hand with the green energy boom that’s sweeping the world at the moment. It helps build smart and efficient products that integrate the latest in power generation, conversion and management technology to deliver smarter, more efficient grid and off-grid applications for the world’s leading energy equipment manufacturers and developers.</p>\n<p><b>Maxar Technologies (TSX:MAXR)</b> is a high flying tech stock to watch in the energy transition. Why? Its wholelly-owned subsidiary, SSL, a designer and manufacturer of satellites used by government and commercial enterprises, has pioneered research in electric propulsion systems, lithium-ion power systems and the use of advanced composites on commercial satellites. These innovations are key because they allow satellites to spend more time in orbit, reducing costs and increasing efficiency. And it’s greener than traditional power sources.</p>\n<p>Thanks to Maxar’s incredible tech and innovative approach to the already-extremely complicated space industry, the company has seen its share price climb where many of its peers have struggled. In fact, in just the past two years, Maxar has seen its share price increase by well over 1000%. And as the company secures more deals in the great beyond, the innovative firm will likely maintain its upward trajectory for some time.</p>","source":"lsy1614844034726","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

And after growing to 19 major cities, they plan to expand to more cities throughout the U.S. and Canada soon.\nBut they’ve also gone beyond applying EVs to the gig economy and are offering a way for people to get behind the wheel themselves without the usual sticker shock.\n2 - Reinventing The Standard Model\nAt this point there’s no question there’s a growing demand for EVs from consumers, as this trend has spread from Europe and Asia and through North America.\nAnd almost 3 out of 4 younger buyers even say they’re willing to pay higher prices to own an electric vehicle.\nBut with Facedrive’s acquisition of Steer, you can get the benefits without the large upfront cost.\nFacedrive recently acquired the EV subscription company from the largest clean energy producer in the United States, and they’re aiming to change the way people think about using EVs.\nSteer has combined the Netflix subscription model with the EV boom to flip the traditional car ownership model on its head.\n\nWith Facedrive’s acquisition of Steer, customers pay a simple monthly fee like with Netflix, and they get access to their choice of EVs from a fleet at their disposal.\nSo they can borrow one whenever they need it instead of buying an EV outright - and at a fraction of the cost.\nThey’re up and running in the Washington D.C. market already…\nAnd they’ve seen so much success there that they’ve decided to expand further north, to roll out the service in Toronto as well.\nWith two of the largest metro areas in North America in the mix, Facedrive has started paving the path for a completely unique way to save drivers money in the EV boom.\nBut their biggest announcement recently came thanks to their willingness to think outside the box and serve the most pressing need we’re seeing today.\n3 - Taking On The Biggest Challenges\nWhile Facedrive (TSXV:FD,OTC:FDVRF) has been busy helping bring EVs to mainstream use in creative ways, they’ve also found a way to help address the issue we’ve all been facing for the last year.\nBy partnering with the University of Waterloo, they’ve created a wearable contact tracing technology called TraceSCAN.\n\nIt’s designed to help alert those without cell phones after they’ve been in contact with someone who’s tested positive for COVID-19.\nThat’s great news for those working in schools, airports, mining, long-term care facilities, and more.\nAnd the demand for TraceSCAN has surged in recent months, as businesses work to open safely and responsibly.\nFacedrive has now signed an agreement with Canada’s largest airline, Air Canada, to use this breakthrough technology.\nThey’re also in discussions to continue TraceSCAN’s growth with major multinational corporations.\nBut perhaps the most exciting news came from a government announcement in Canada just weeks ago.\nIn February, the Ontario government announced they’re investing $2.5 million to help speed up the deployment of TraceSCAN to more users.\nThis means TraceSCAN’s technology has gotten another vote of confidence in their innovative technology... to the tune of millions from the government.\nAs governments and businesses around the world are doing whatever they can to stop the spread of the virus, this major announcement could help bring attention to Facedrive’s TraceSCAN technology…\nApplying more pressure to other organizations and governments to act responsibly and start investing more seriously in contact tracing technology.\nSetting Up For Electric Everything in 2021\nAs 2021 heats up, we’re seeing that the EV boom isn’t just limited to manufacturing sedans anymore.\nIt involves building an entire electric ecosystem and re-imagining what transportation looks like on all fronts.\nThat’s why Facedrive (TSXV:FD,OTC:FDVRF) aims see their growth wave continue as they bring EVs to ridesharing, food delivery, and beyond.\nHere are a few other companies who could profit in the electric future:\nTesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has been one of the most exciting stories on Wall Street for the past two years. And that’s largely thanks to its CEO, Elon Musk. As a visionary in the tech world, Musk built his empire on PayPal and then pivoted to a cause closer to his heart, Tesla. Musk has had his eye on prize long before the green energy hype started building. In fact, he released the first Tesla Roadster back in 2008, making electric vehicles desirable when people were laughing at first-gen electric vehicles. Since then, Tesla’s stock has skyrocketed by over 14,000%. Largely thanks to its ambitious approach to a greener tomorrow\nTesla isn’t just about cars, however, it’s diving head first into the battery market, as well. And by extension, could completely transform renewable energy as we know it. Tesla’s battery technology is a game-changer because batteries will be the first big step towards decentralized electric grids, another innovation fueled by the dramatic rise of blockchain technology, another cause that Musk is passionate about.\nElon Musk is a major proponent of bitcoin, like his tech industry peer Square and Twitter’s Jack Dorsey. Musk made a number of posts on Dorsey’s Twitter platform highlighting the benefits of cryptocurrency, and even put his own money where his mouth is, announcing that Tesla would be investing $1.5 billion into bitcoin, with plans to begin accepting bitcoin payments for Tesla products in the near to medium-term\nElon Musk is truly a visionary of this decade. From his electric vehicle innovations and space ambitions to his forward-thinking approach on cryptocurrencies, Elon Musk may well become the first trillionaire, and Tesla shareholders are set to ride the wave.\nNIO Limited (NYSE:NIO) has had an incredible year, taking the market by storm. Just a year ago, no one could have imagined how successful the company was going to be. In fact, many analysts were ready to leave it for dead. But the Chinese Tesla rival powered on, blew away estimates, and most importantly, kept its balance sheet in line. And it’s paid off. In a big way.\nNio has made all the right moves over the past year to win over investors and turn heads on the streets and in the marketplace. On November 18th, NIO revealed a pair of sedans that even the biggest Tesla die-hard would struggle to pass up. The vehicles, meant to compete with Tesla’s Model 3, could be just what the company needs to pull back control of its local market from Elon Musk’s electric vehicle giant.\nIn addition to its automotive push, however, Nio, Tesla’s largest competitor in China, has also started to offer a batteries-as-a-service concept, in which car buyers can ‘lease’ the battery of their vehicle and save as much as $10,000 on the price of a new vehicle, while also offering buyers the option to swap batteries after a few years of use. And that’s huge news in the lithium world, because it will mean give miners even greater incentive to sign deals with the battery innovator.\nGeneral Motors (NYSE:GM) just started a joint venture with Korea’s LG Chem to mass produce next-gen battery cells for electric vehicles, together investing $2.3 billion over the next few years.\nThat’s not all its working on, either. In October, auto industry legend, GM announced that it’s majority-owned subsidiary, Cruise, has just received approval from the California DMV to test its autonomous vehicles without a driver. And while they’re not the first to receive such an approval, it’s still huge news for GM.\nCruise CEO Dan Ammann wrote in a Medium post, “Before the end of the year, we’ll be sending cars out onto the streets of SF — without gasoline and without anyone at the wheel. Because safely removing the driver is the true benchmark of a self-driving car, and because burning fossil fuels is no way to build the future of transportation.”\nFord (NYSE:F) is another Detroit automaker making the jump to EVs - and seeing shares jump in the process. They recently announced they’ll be boosting their spending on EVs to $27 billion through mid-decade. That big investment includes plans of their own to develop an electric cargo van and a plug-in version of their bestseller F-150 pickup truck.\nFord isn’t going to be left out of the autonomous vehicle boom, either. The company, for its part, has recently revealed plans to launch its self-driving business in 2022. The new vehicles, in partnership with Argo AI, a Philadelphia-based autonomous vehicle startup, will include major upgrades from advanced Lidar technology and high resolution cameras. Ford plans to test these vehicles in Austin, Texas; Detroit; Miami; Palo Alto, California; Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C. as early as this month.\nJohn Davis, chief engineer of Ford’s autonomous vehicle subsidiary explained, “We’re confident that we’re on the path to launching a safe, reliable and affordable service. And, we look forward to telling you more about how this service will ultimately help make people’s lives better.”\nBlink Charging (NASDAQ:BLNK) was one of the darlings of the EV boom last year because of its expansion in EV charging technology. With their chargers deployed at airports, car dealers, hospitals, restaurants, retailers, and schools across the nation, Blink recently saw shares jump 76% in just one month. A wave of new deals, including a collaboration with EnerSys and another with Envoy Technologies to deploy electric vehicles and charging stations adds further support to its success.\nMichael D. Farkas, Founder, CEO and Executive Chairman of Blink noted, “This is an exciting collaboration with EnerSys because it combines the industry-leading technologies of our two companies to provide user-friendly, high powered, next-generation charging alternatives. We are continuously innovating our product offerings to provide more efficient and convenient charging options to the growing community of EV drivers.”\nIn addition to the company’s string of high-profile deals, Blink is also consistently posting promising revenues. In fact, earlier this month, the company noted that third-quarter revenue had increased by as much as 18% from the year before despite disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. \nCanada is not likely to be left out of this boom, either. GreenPower Motor (TSX:GPV) is an exciting company that produces larger-scale electric transportation.  Right now, it is primarily focused on the North American market, but the sky is the limit as the pressure to go green grows. GreenPower has been on the frontlines of the electric movement, manufacturing affordable battery-electric busses and trucks for over ten years. From school busses to long-distance public transit, GreenPower’s impact on the sector can’t be ignored.\nNFI Group (TSX:NFI) is another one of Canada’s most exciting companies in the electric vehicle space. It produces transit busses and motorcycles. NFI had a difficult start to the year, but it since cut its debt and begun to address its cash flow struggles in a meaningful way. Though it remains down from January highs, NFI still offers investors a promising opportunity to capitalize on the electric vehicle boom.\nRecently, NFI has seen an uptick in insider stock purchases which is often a sign that the board and management strongly believe in the future of the company. In addition to its increasingly positive financial reports, it is also one of the few in the business that actually pay dividends out to its investors.\nLithium Americas Corp. (TSX:LAC) is one of North America’s most important and successful pure-play lithium companies. In a way, Lithium Americas is literally fueling the green energy boom. With two world-class lithium projects in Argentina and Nevada, Lithium Americas is well-positioned to ride the wave of growing lithium demand in the years to come. It’s already raised nearly a billion dollars in equity and debt, showing that investors have a ton of interest in the company’s ambitious plans, and it will likely continue its promising growth and expansion for years to come.\nIt’s not ignoring the growing demand from investors for responsible and sustainable mining, either. In fact, one of its primary goals is to create a positive impact on society and the environment through its projects. This includes cleaner mining tech, strong workplace safety practices, a range of opportunities for employees, and strong relationships with local governments to ensure that not only are its employees being taken care of, but locals as well.\nCelestica (TSX:CLS) is closely tied to the green energy boom. Celestica’s wide range of products includes but is not limited to communications solutions, enterprise and cloud services, aerospace and defense products, renewable energy and enough health technology.\nThanks to its exposure to the renewable energy market, Celestica’s future is tied hand-in-hand with the green energy boom that’s sweeping the world at the moment. It helps build smart and efficient products that integrate the latest in power generation, conversion and management technology to deliver smarter, more efficient grid and off-grid applications for the world’s leading energy equipment manufacturers and developers.\nMaxar Technologies (TSX:MAXR) is a high flying tech stock to watch in the energy transition. Why? Its wholelly-owned subsidiary, SSL, a designer and manufacturer of satellites used by government and commercial enterprises, has pioneered research in electric propulsion systems, lithium-ion power systems and the use of advanced composites on commercial satellites. These innovations are key because they allow satellites to spend more time in orbit, reducing costs and increasing efficiency. And it’s greener than traditional power sources.\nThanks to Maxar’s incredible tech and innovative approach to the already-extremely complicated space industry, the company has seen its share price climb where many of its peers have struggled. In fact, in just the past two years, Maxar has seen its share price increase by well over 1000%. And as the company secures more deals in the great beyond, the innovative firm will likely maintain its upward trajectory for some time.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":338,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":354519248,"gmtCreate":1617186823584,"gmtModify":1704696948572,"author":{"id":"3575717374757732","authorId":"3575717374757732","name":"Alvinpoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/584f95412ae1d0046271fa008f63b651","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575717374757732","authorIdStr":"3575717374757732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Big

initial public offering, at $9.50 per American depositary share, which was at the low end of the expected range. The China-based online content company offered 55 million ADS in the IPO to raise $522.5 million, while the pricing valued the company at about $5.31 billion.</p><p>Zhihu has a similar business model as Quora where millions of people ask questions and exchange their views and experiences. Zhihu has become the largest online question and answer community in China.</p><p><b>Sales Breakdown</b></p><p>Advertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. We estimate advertising as a percentage of revenues to gradually decline in the next five years as it is offset by the faster growing Paid Memberships and Content Commerce Solutions. We estimate advertising as a percentage of sales to decline to 34.1% in 2021 and 22.3% in 2025.</p><p>Paid Memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. We have assumed Paid Membership revenues as a percentage of total revenues to increase to 31.5% in 2021 and 37.8% in 2025.</p><p>Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans. We have assumed Content Commerce Solutions as a percentage of total revenue to jump from 10% in 2020 to 17.8% in 2021 and 32.3% in 2025.</p><p><b>Gross Margins</b></p><p>The company's gross margins improved from 46.6% in 2019 to 56.0% in 2020, driven by an overall improving business scalability. We have assumed further improvements in gross margins to 57.4% in 2021 and 62.3% in 2025.</p><p><b>Total Operating Expenses and Operating Margins</b></p><p>Total operating expenses as a percentage of revenues declined significantly from 204.4% in 2019 to 100.6% in 2020. We expect this ratio to improve further to 79% in 2021, 69.2% in 2022, and 57.2% in 2025. The bulk of the improvements in operating expenses is coming from lower SG&amp;A and R&amp;D expenses as a percentage of revenues in the next five years.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c019cc86f4d4c1d9ffe15d3b4a4bfa75\" tg-width=\"772\" tg-height=\"480\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ef629be32d2c34d625cb287ad648206d\" tg-width=\"757\" tg-height=\"488\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b9561a02993fbc88c2cad88e68c08730\" tg-width=\"920\" tg-height=\"485\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><b>Company Background</b></p><p>At the end of 2020, Zhihu had more than 43.1 million cumulative content creators that contributed 315 million questions and answers. In 4Q 2020, the company had 75.7 million average monthly active users, up 33% YoY. One of the key strengths of the company is that it is recognized as one of the most trustworthy online content communities and regarded as providing one of the highest quality content in China. Zhihu has tried to capitalize on its large user base to provide numerous multimedia functions including live streaming, e-commerce, online education, and other video content.</p><p>In August 2019, Zhihu received $434 million in funding from leading investors including Baidu and Kuaishou Technology, valuing the company at $3.5 billion. Given that the company had $97 million in sales in 2019, this would suggest a P/S valuation multiple of 36x.

The blockage is further stressing an already strained supply chain, said Jon Gold, vice president of supply chain and customs policy for the National Retail Federation.\n“Every day that the vessel remains wedged across the canal adds delays to normal cargo flows,” he said, adding that the trade group’s members are actively working with carriers to monitor the situation and determine the best mitigation strategies. “Many companies continue to struggle with supply chain congestion and delays stemming from the pandemic. There is no doubt the delays will ripple through the supply chain and cause additional challenges.”\nA satellite image shows stranded container ship Ever Given after it ran aground in Suez Canal, Egypt March 25, 2021.\nThe Suez Canal, which separates Africa from Asia, is one of the busiest trade routes in the world, with approximately 12% of total global trade moving through it. Energy exports like liquified natural gas, Crude oil, and refined oil make up 5% to 10% of global shipments. The rest of the traffic is largely consumer products ranging from fire pits to clothing, furniture, manufacturing, auto parts and exercise equipment.\n“The key to this problem hinges on how much longer it will take to move the Ever Given,” explained Alan Baer, President of logistics provider, OL USA LLC. “USA importers face arrival delays of three days right now and this will continue to grow as long as the disruption continues.”\nHorn of Africa\nThe Suez has provided some relief for global importers as they increasingly relied on it last year to avoid massive congestion at West Coast ports in the U.S. that added days, if not weeks, to some deliveries coming from Asia.\nBaer, who has containers on vessels stuck in both lanes of the Suez Canal, said if it stays closed, vessels will be diverted and go around the horn of Africa, which adds an additional seven to nine days to a trip.\nAccording to BIMCO, the largest of the international shipping associations representing shipowners, the bottleneck will only continue to grow and impact supplies.\n“Everyone is making contingency plans as we speak,” said Peter Sand, chief shipping analyst at BIMCO.\nBIMCO\n“Carriers run a third of their Asia trade strings to the U.S. East Coast via the Suez and two-thirds via Panama Canal,” said Baer. “Disruption is also hitting the import trade from India as well as the Middle East.”\nClearing the backlog\nAccording to the World Shipping Council, the Suez canal’s daily vessel throughput capacity is 106. If the canal is closed for two days, it will then take two additional days after re-opening to clear the backlog.  The longer the delay, the longer it will take to move out the vessels.\nLars Jensen, CEO of Sea Intelligence Consulting, tells CNBC the schedule reliability for container vessels is already in disarray as a result of the pandemic.\n“Right now two out of three container vessels arrive late,” he explained. “And when they are late, they are on average five days late,” he said, adding that a two-day delay isn’t a major problem. “However, the longer this drags out, the worse it gets because you are then talking about effectively removing vessel capacity as well as containers at a point in time where they are already in short supply.”\nStranded container ship Ever Given, one of the world’s largest container ships, is seen after it ran aground, in Suez Canal, Egypt March 25, 2021.\nInventory impact\nIn addition to delaying thousands of containers loaded with consumer items, the stranded ship has also tied up empty containers, which are key for Chinese exports.\n“Containers are already scarce in China and the backup in the Suez will further stress the inventory,” explained Jon Monroe, maritime trade and logistics consultant with Jon Monroe Consulting. “We are back to a pre-Chinese New Year environment where factories are running at full steam and are struggling to find containers as well as space for their finished goods.”\nThis delay will impact the arrival of U.S. imports that fill store shelves as well as U.S. manufacturing components.\n“Before the Suez Canal disruption, we were expecting the container situation to get worse in April because we were already seeing the scarcity of containers,” said Monroe. “This canal closure will not help. You will start to see product piling up on factory floors.”\nConsumer demand\nChinese manufacturers are responding to the tremendous global orders for their goods. Pandemic lockdowns have fueled consumer demand over the last year. As a result, a continuous historic flow of vessels holding millions of containers is clogging ports and slowing down processing. The delays have been costly.\nNikealong with retailersCrocs,Gap,Peloton,Footlocker,Five Below,William Sonoma,Steve Madden,Whirlpool,Urban Outfitters, and Tesla all cited supply chain problems impacting their business this quarter.\nBrian Bourke, Chief Growth Officer of SEKO Logistics tells CNBC, the blockage is creating the perfect storm for retailers who are struggling to restock.\n“The timing of this could not be worse,” he said. “You have stimulus checks going into the hands of consumers. After every stimulus check, we have seen a huge surge in product volume. We are talking to businesses that are running out of inventory. How can you have a stimulus if you can’t buy anything? Your wait for your couch can be longer than three months.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":426,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":352057098,"gmtCreate":1616838739514,"gmtModify":1704799543444,"author":{"id":"3575717374757732","authorId":"3575717374757732","name":"Alvinpoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/584f95412ae1d0046271fa008f63b651","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575717374757732","authorIdStr":"3575717374757732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like Citigroup&nbsp;","listText":"Like Citigroup&nbsp;","text":"Like Citigroup","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/352057098","repostId":"1114428323","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":83,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3573201360768736","authorId":"3573201360768736","name":"Lty1098","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0123641e5b1e8993162711702dcb0f22","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3573201360768736","authorIdStr":"3573201360768736"},"content":"Like n comment pls","text":"Like n comment pls","html":"Like n comment pls"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":348001557,"gmtCreate":1617863129779,"gmtModify":1704704087124,"author":{"id":"3575717374757732","authorId":"3575717374757732","name":"Alvinpoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/584f95412ae1d0046271fa008f63b651","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575717374757732","authorIdStr":"3575717374757732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"NIO is worth considering ...","listText":"NIO is worth considering ...","text":"NIO is worth considering ...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/348001557","repostId":"1175293107","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1175293107","pubTimestamp":1617851767,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1175293107?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-08 11:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 Hot Stocks To Buy for an Explosion in Consumerism","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1175293107","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"The U.S. economy is expected to boom in Q2, with these hot stocks benefiting as consumers open their wallets.The coronavirus pandemic had a chilling effect on the economy in 2020.

Millions of Americans were out of work, stores were physically shut down and there was a growing list of retail bankruptcies. Last June, the World Bank predicted Covid-19 would gut the global economy, triggering the “worst recession since World War II.”</p><p>Economists are far more optimistic these days. With vaccines making their way into arms and life beginning to return to a sense of normalcy,the U.S. economy is projected to boomin the second quarter. Consumer spending is expected to lead the way in making the economy “sizzle.” These seven hot stocks are<i>Portfolio Grader</i>“A-rated” picks.</p><p>Each is set to reward investors as an explosion of consumerism fuels growth:</p><ul><li><b>Boston Beer Company</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>SAM</u></b>)</li><li><b>BRP Group</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>DOOO</u></b>)</li><li><b>Hain Celestial</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>HAIN</u></b>)</li><li><b>Nio</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>NIO</u></b>)</li><li><b>Nu Skin Enterprises</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>NUS</u></b>)</li><li><b>Simply Good Foods</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>SMPL</u></b>)</li><li><b>Sony</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>SONY</u></b>)</li></ul><p>If you’re eyeing any of these hot stocks, don’t wait too long. While previously untouchabletech stocks have struggled in 2021, some of these have already kicked off impressive growth trajectories this year.</p><p><b>1、Hot Stocks: Boston Beer Company (SAM)</b></p><p>2020 was a year marked by restaurant closures, cancelled vacations, requests for people to self-isolate and frowned-upon social gatherings. Not great news for a beer company, you would think.</p><p>However, despite the challenging circumstances, Boston Beer Company continued its streak ofquarterly double-digit volume growth throughout the year.In its fourth quarter, the company reported shipments up 54% year-over-year, while revenue was up 53%. The company is starting out 2021 by adding Truly Iced Tea hard seltzer to its established brands, including Samuel Adams, Twisted Tea and Dogfish Head.</p><p>SAM stock posted an impressive gain of 163% in 2020. It has followed that up with a gain of 30% so far in 2021. With restaurants and bars re-opening, backyard BBQs back on and summer vacations looking like a possibility, look for that growth to continue.</p><p><b>2、BRP Group (DOOO)</b></p><p>BRP Group owns a long list of brands that are very well-known among outdoor activities enthusiasts. The company makes Ski-Doo snowmobiles, Evinrude outboard boat engines, Can-Am three-wheel motorcycles, Sea-Doo watercraft and others.</p><p>All of these products have one things in common: their market is primarily recreational. When the economy is sputtering and people are laid off, big-ticket recreational purchases suffer. Temporarily shuttered showrooms don’t help. Neither does having to shut down manufacturing facilities during Covid-19 outbreaks.</p><p>The impact of the pandemic was felt by BRP Group, which saw itsQ2 revenue drop 15.5% YoY.</p><p>DOOO stock took a big hit early last year, but rallied as the summer approached. It closed at a new high of $32.58 last November, marking 121% growth over six months. With the economy heating up along with the weather andstimulus checks arriving in the mail, DOOO stock is positioned for another hot summer of growth. In fact it may be one of the top hot stocks on the list.</p><p><b>3、Hain Celestial(HAIN)</b></p><p>When we were in lockdown, trying to save money because of layoffs, and/or avoiding crowds in grocery stores in 2020, food was about getting in the essentials. People were fighting overbasics like flour!</p><p>Now that we’re in recovery, consumers can afford to be pickier. In addition, after a year of the pandemic,many people have gained weightand are concerned about their health.</p><p>That sets the stage for Hain Celestial to make big gains in the supermarket. The company offers a wide range of food brands, many of them aimed at healthy eaters. You’ll find names like Avalon Organics, Celestial Seasonings, Earth’s Best Organic, Health Valley and Yves Veggie Cuisine under the Hain Celestial umbrella.</p><p>After a four-year slide that saw HAIN stock shed three quarters of its value, the company’s fortunes turned around in 2019. In 2020, that accelerated. So far in 2021, shares are up 12% and that trend is only going to expand as health-conscious consumers open their wallets.</p><p><b>4、Nio (NIO)</b></p><p>Don’t make the mistake of leaving China out of the equation. Yes, the company makes many of the products that American consumers are expecting to be shelling out for. But Chinese consumers are also a force to be reckoned with. That country was the first to recover from the pandemic, and it’s the first to be experiencing a big economic rebound.</p><p>Chinese consumers aren’t just buying clothes and electronics. They’re buying big-ticket items, including cars. EV sales are on fire in the U.S. and they are also surging in popularity in China. Chinese EV pioneer Nio wasstruggling to survive in 2019. In 2020, it fixed its quality control issues, released new models, and introduced a popular Battery-as-a-Service model.</p><p>Nio EVs are an aspirational purchase for affluent Chinese consumers, and they have been snapping up the cars. In March, that amounted to an all-time record 7,257 EVs delivered for the company — up 373% YoY.</p><p>NIO stock neared $63 in February (it closed off 2019 below $2.50), before being caught up in the tech stock selloff. With shares now around $40, NIO stock is a big opportunity. It’s not only one of the hot stocks to take advantage of the explosion in consumer spending, it’s also a great pick to ride the EV wave.</p><p><b>5、Nu Skin (NUS)</b></p><p>After a year of avoiding crowds, wearing masks and often working from home, the beauty industry was upended by the pandemic. Products like lipstick saw sales plummet. However, skin care was in. The market was already on the rise, but concerns like “maskne” — that’s acne caused by wearing a mask for hours at a time — really helped to push skin care to the forefront.</p><p>NuSkin primarily specializes in skin care and anti-aging regimes including cleansers, toners, peels, creams and even $300+ powered devices for home spa treatments. Much of that is sold directly by the company, online. In the fourth quarter,Nu Skin sold $748.2 million worth of these home skin care treatments. That’s a 28% YoY increase. Q4 earnings of $1.40 per share were up 94% and smashed Wall Street estimates.</p><p>Over the past 12 months, NUS stock is up 138%. It’s on a trajectory that shows no sign of levelling out any time soon.</p><p><b>6、Simply Good Foods (SMPL)</b></p><p>After a year of snacking and eating comfort food, Americans have paid the price. According to a survey published on<i>WebMD</i>,76% of Americans packed on the pounds during the pandemic. The so-called “the quarantine 15” is real. Being able to dress casual isn’t the only reason why sweatpants have been so popular.</p><p>Simply Good Foods brands owns two popular weight loss and nutritional snacking brands: Atkins and Quest.

Millions of Americans were out of work, stores were physically shut down and there was a growing list of retail bankruptcies. Last June, the World Bank predicted Covid-19 would gut the global economy, triggering the “worst recession since World War II.”Economists are far more optimistic these days. With vaccines making their way into arms and life beginning to return to a sense of normalcy,the U.S. economy is projected to boomin the second quarter. Consumer spending is expected to lead the way in making the economy “sizzle.” These seven hot stocks arePortfolio Grader“A-rated” picks.Each is set to reward investors as an explosion of consumerism fuels growth:Boston Beer Company (NYSE:SAM)BRP Group (NASDAQ:DOOO)Hain Celestial (NASDAQ:HAIN)Nio (NYSE:NIO)Nu Skin Enterprises (NYSE:NUS)Simply Good Foods (NASDAQ:SMPL)Sony (NYSE:SONY)If you’re eyeing any of these hot stocks, don’t wait too long. While previously untouchabletech stocks have struggled in 2021, some of these have already kicked off impressive growth trajectories this year.1、Hot Stocks: Boston Beer Company (SAM)2020 was a year marked by restaurant closures, cancelled vacations, requests for people to self-isolate and frowned-upon social gatherings. Not great news for a beer company, you would think.However, despite the challenging circumstances, Boston Beer Company continued its streak ofquarterly double-digit volume growth throughout the year.In its fourth quarter, the company reported shipments up 54% year-over-year, while revenue was up 53%. The company is starting out 2021 by adding Truly Iced Tea hard seltzer to its established brands, including Samuel Adams, Twisted Tea and Dogfish Head.SAM stock posted an impressive gain of 163% in 2020. It has followed that up with a gain of 30% so far in 2021. With restaurants and bars re-opening, backyard BBQs back on and summer vacations looking like a possibility, look for that growth to continue.2、BRP Group (DOOO)BRP Group owns a long list of brands that are very well-known among outdoor activities enthusiasts. The company makes Ski-Doo snowmobiles, Evinrude outboard boat engines, Can-Am three-wheel motorcycles, Sea-Doo watercraft and others.All of these products have one things in common: their market is primarily recreational. When the economy is sputtering and people are laid off, big-ticket recreational purchases suffer. Temporarily shuttered showrooms don’t help. Neither does having to shut down manufacturing facilities during Covid-19 outbreaks.The impact of the pandemic was felt by BRP Group, which saw itsQ2 revenue drop 15.5% YoY.DOOO stock took a big hit early last year, but rallied as the summer approached. It closed at a new high of $32.58 last November, marking 121% growth over six months. With the economy heating up along with the weather andstimulus checks arriving in the mail, DOOO stock is positioned for another hot summer of growth. In fact it may be one of the top hot stocks on the list.3、Hain Celestial(HAIN)When we were in lockdown, trying to save money because of layoffs, and/or avoiding crowds in grocery stores in 2020, food was about getting in the essentials. People were fighting overbasics like flour!Now that we’re in recovery, consumers can afford to be pickier. In addition, after a year of the pandemic,many people have gained weightand are concerned about their health.That sets the stage for Hain Celestial to make big gains in the supermarket. The company offers a wide range of food brands, many of them aimed at healthy eaters. You’ll find names like Avalon Organics, Celestial Seasonings, Earth’s Best Organic, Health Valley and Yves Veggie Cuisine under the Hain Celestial umbrella.After a four-year slide that saw HAIN stock shed three quarters of its value, the company’s fortunes turned around in 2019. In 2020, that accelerated. So far in 2021, shares are up 12% and that trend is only going to expand as health-conscious consumers open their wallets.4、Nio (NIO)Don’t make the mistake of leaving China out of the equation. Yes, the company makes many of the products that American consumers are expecting to be shelling out for. But Chinese consumers are also a force to be reckoned with. That country was the first to recover from the pandemic, and it’s the first to be experiencing a big economic rebound.Chinese consumers aren’t just buying clothes and electronics. They’re buying big-ticket items, including cars. EV sales are on fire in the U.S. and they are also surging in popularity in China. Chinese EV pioneer Nio wasstruggling to survive in 2019. In 2020, it fixed its quality control issues, released new models, and introduced a popular Battery-as-a-Service model.Nio EVs are an aspirational purchase for affluent Chinese consumers, and they have been snapping up the cars. In March, that amounted to an all-time record 7,257 EVs delivered for the company — up 373% YoY.NIO stock neared $63 in February (it closed off 2019 below $2.50), before being caught up in the tech stock selloff. With shares now around $40, NIO stock is a big opportunity. It’s not only one of the hot stocks to take advantage of the explosion in consumer spending, it’s also a great pick to ride the EV wave.5、Nu Skin (NUS)After a year of avoiding crowds, wearing masks and often working from home, the beauty industry was upended by the pandemic. Products like lipstick saw sales plummet. However, skin care was in. The market was already on the rise, but concerns like “maskne” — that’s acne caused by wearing a mask for hours at a time — really helped to push skin care to the forefront.NuSkin primarily specializes in skin care and anti-aging regimes including cleansers, toners, peels, creams and even $300+ powered devices for home spa treatments. Much of that is sold directly by the company, online. In the fourth quarter,Nu Skin sold $748.2 million worth of these home skin care treatments. That’s a 28% YoY increase. Q4 earnings of $1.40 per share were up 94% and smashed Wall Street estimates.Over the past 12 months, NUS stock is up 138%. It’s on a trajectory that shows no sign of levelling out any time soon.6、Simply Good Foods (SMPL)After a year of snacking and eating comfort food, Americans have paid the price. According to a survey published onWebMD,76% of Americans packed on the pounds during the pandemic. The so-called “the quarantine 15” is real. Being able to dress casual isn’t the only reason why sweatpants have been so popular.Simply Good Foods brands owns two popular weight loss and nutritional snacking brands: Atkins and Quest. These saw softer sales during the pandemic.The company noted the effect of “temporary softer consumer interest in weight management during COVID-19 era along with lower on-the-go usage occasions.”However, consumers have proven they’re willing to spend money to get rid of extra weight — especially if they can do so without having to spend hours at the gym or give up on snacking altogether. In addition, as the country re-opens and workers start moving back to the office, on-the-go snacking will begin again. That’s a recipe for growth for Simply Good Foods. SMPL stock has posted a gain of 88% over the past 12 months. As sales ramp back up, it’s in a great position to continue that growth.7、Sony (SONY)Sony still makes many of the gadgets the company used to be known for, including TVs and audio equipment. It still has a thriving image sensor and camera business. Believe it or not, the company isstill in the smartphone business. It has valuable movie and music businesses as well. But all of these pale in comparison to video games.Video game consoles, Sony video games and membership fees for gaming servicesaccounted for over 40% of the company’s profit last year.One of 2020’s must-have purchases was the Sony PlayStation 5 next-gen game console. Despite only being launched in November, the company sold 4.5 million of them last year. Four months into 2021, PS5 consoles remain difficult to find on store shelves. An industry-wide processor shortage isn’t helping, but the fact is the PS5 is hot. With the console just starting its life-cycle, look for Sony to be enjoying years of benefits, including sales of games, accessories and gaming memberships.After a rough 12 years, from 2000 to 2012 (during which shares lost over 90% of their value), SONY stock has been posting solid growth. That includes a 82% gain over the past 12 months. With gamers snapping up new PlayStation consoles at $399 and $499 a pop, look for this hot stock to be a big performer for the foreseeable future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":374,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3567309024182924","authorId":"3567309024182924","name":"Merc8123","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/272ac8fc3161896715581d7053587a3f","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3567309024182924","authorIdStr":"3567309024182924"},"content":"Everyone else is saying YES.

Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. We estimate advertising as a percentage of revenues to gradually decline in the next five years as it is offset by the faster growing Paid Memberships and Content Commerce Solutions. We estimate advertising as a percentage of sales to decline to 34.1% in 2021 and 22.3% in 2025.</p><p>Paid Memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. We have assumed Paid Membership revenues as a percentage of total revenues to increase to 31.5% in 2021 and 37.8% in 2025.</p><p>Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans. We have assumed Content Commerce Solutions as a percentage of total revenue to jump from 10% in 2020 to 17.8% in 2021 and 32.3% in 2025.</p><p><b>Gross Margins</b></p><p>The company's gross margins improved from 46.6% in 2019 to 56.0% in 2020, driven by an overall improving business scalability. We have assumed further improvements in gross margins to 57.4% in 2021 and 62.3% in 2025.</p><p><b>Total Operating Expenses and Operating Margins</b></p><p>Total operating expenses as a percentage of revenues declined significantly from 204.4% in 2019 to 100.6% in 2020. We expect this ratio to improve further to 79% in 2021, 69.2% in 2022, and 57.2% in 2025. The bulk of the improvements in operating expenses is coming from lower SG&amp;A and R&amp;D expenses as a percentage of revenues in the next five years.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c019cc86f4d4c1d9ffe15d3b4a4bfa75\" tg-width=\"772\" tg-height=\"480\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ef629be32d2c34d625cb287ad648206d\" tg-width=\"757\" tg-height=\"488\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b9561a02993fbc88c2cad88e68c08730\" tg-width=\"920\" tg-height=\"485\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><b>Company Background</b></p><p>At the end of 2020, Zhihu had more than 43.1 million cumulative content creators that contributed 315 million questions and answers. In 4Q 2020, the company had 75.7 million average monthly active users, up 33% YoY. One of the key strengths of the company is that it is recognized as one of the most trustworthy online content communities and regarded as providing one of the highest quality content in China. Zhihu has tried to capitalize on its large user base to provide numerous multimedia functions including live streaming, e-commerce, online education, and other video content.</p><p>In August 2019, Zhihu received $434 million in funding from leading investors including Baidu and Kuaishou Technology, valuing the company at $3.5 billion. Given that the company had $97 million in sales in 2019, this would suggest a P/S valuation multiple of 36x. If we take the same P/S multiple apply to the company's 2020 sales of $207 million, this would suggest an implied valuation of $7.5 billion.</p><p>Zhihu was originally developed as a question and answer online community in 2010. At the end of 2020, there were a total of 315 million Q&amp;As spanning more than 1,000 verticals and 571,000 topics. Zhihu is one of the top five comprehensive online content communities in China, in terms of average mobile MAUs and revenue in 2020. The company uses artificial intelligence, cloud, and big data algorithms to improve the optimization of its content and services.</p><p><b>Major Shareholders of Zhihu</b></p><p>The founder &amp; CEO&nbsp;Zhou Yuanowns an 8.2% stake in the company (but 46.6% voting rights). Sinovation Ventures owns a 13.1% stake and Tencent Holdings Ltd. owns a 12.3% stake of Zhihu.</p><p><b>Key Demographics</b></p><p>The diagram below provides some of the key demographics of Zhihu user base. Males accounted for 56.9% of total users. People under 30 years old accounted for 78.7% of its total user base. Tier I and new tier I cities represented 52.6% of total user base. Many of the users of Zhihu are students and white collar professionals.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/524d689472daad1c99491d74dfdbfe24\" tg-width=\"295\" tg-height=\"389\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><b>Revenue Breakdown</b></p><p>Advertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The company's advertising revenue is mainly driven by its MAUs and advertising revenue per MAU. The company's MAUs increased by 42.7% YoY to 68.5 million in 2020. The company started its online advertising business in 2016 and introduced paid content in 2018.</p><p>Paid memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. Average monthly members jumped by 311.5% YoY to 2.36 million in 2020, which is a testament of an increasing number of customers that value the premium content available on Zhihu.</p><p>In March 2019, the company introduced the Yan Selection membership program, making it the first payment-based questions &amp; answers community. It provides its members with unlimited access to about 3.4 million paid content including online lectures, columns, audio books, and e-journals. This is one of the biggest strengths of the company as it shows how high quality data and content can generate serious amount of revenues and it also provides a more steady monthly revenue inflow.</p><p>Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans, assigning the most relevant content creators to interested users, and facilitating content creation.</p><p>China's content-commerce solution market is expected to be one of the fastest growing sectors in the next several years. According to CIC Consultancy, China's content-commerce solution market is expected to enjoy a strong CAGR growth of 46.4% from 2019 to 2025 (112.3 billion RMB).</p><p><b>Market Opportunities</b></p><p><b>China’s Online Content Communities Market Size</b></p><p>Online content communities refer to UGC (user generated content)-focused (including PUGC (professional user generated content) focused online content market players where content creators are also users, who are actively engaged within the communities. The content communities generally can stimulate higher level of user engagement, more interactive user experience, and enjoy lower content cost, compared to PGC (professionally generated content) players. PGC is content created by the branded company or organization.</p><p>China's online content communities market size increased from 38.6 billion RMB in 2015 to 275.8 billion RMB in 2019 and is further expected to rise to 1.3 trillion RMB in 2025, representing a CAGR of 30.3% from 2019 to 2025, which is higher than the overall online content market growth.</p><p>China's online content community market has more diversified monetization channels including online advertising, paid membership, content e-commerce, content-commerce solutions, virtual gifting in live streaming, online games, and online education services.

P. Carey (WPC) in real estate</p>\n<p>- AT&amp;T (T) in telecommunication</p>\n<p>- Intel (INTC) in tech</p>\n<p>Looking back one quarter later, we see that shares have performed like this:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/efdd2ae3235c94c5e041ed4f3925d561\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"555\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Year-to-date, they delivered an average return of 12% and a median return of 15%. Contrast this with the year-to-date return of 3% that was delivered by the S&amp;P 500 index (SPY), and we see that our picks clearly outperformed the broad market, delivering 4-5 times the performance enjoyed by those that put their money into the index.</p>\n<p><b>2020 Versus 2021: Growth Versus Value</b></p>\n<p>This was, I believe, partially the result of investing in high-yielding stocks that traded at very inexpensive valuations and were thus undervalued, but the portfolio also benefited from an overall shift in the market's focus.</p>\n<p>2020 was the year of growth stocks, which saw many \"growthy\" tech names generate very attractive gains. The same could be said about EV stocks, renewable stocks, etc., which all flourished last year thanks to an appetite for growth stocks and unprecedented monetary stimulus. In 2021, that has changed to some degree:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a81cfc9a5d54fce53409f7ea5cd0975\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"470\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>In the above chart, we see a very clear trend that emerged towards the end of February. The growth-heavy Nasdaq index (NASDAQ:QQQ) started to decline, underperforming the S&amp;P 500 index this year, whereas the less techy, less growth-focused Dow Jones index (NYSEARCA:DIA) has beaten the S&amp;P 500 so far in 2021. Looking at two ETFs that focus on either Value (VTV) or Growth(NYSEARCA:VUG), we see that the value theme clearly has been the winner so far this year, beating all three indexes, whereas the growth-themed ETF is down this year. The good news is that our basket of stocks still easily outperformed the Value ETF, which shows that we seem to have at least some skill when it comes to picking individual stocks (or maybe we got lucky).</p>\n<p><b>Are Those 10 Still Great Buys Today?</b></p>\n<p>Since some of these stocks have moved so much already in the first three months, they may not all be an opportune buy any longer, which is why we will take a quick look at all ten individually.</p>\n<p><b>1. AbbVie</b></p>\n<p>AbbVie was one of our two healthcare picks in the original article. The company combines many positives, including an above-average yield, a low valuation, and steady growth even during the pandemic. AbbVie's most recent quarterly results showcase its outstanding resilience during the current crisis: The company managed to grow its revenues across its portfolio, with Humira, Imbruvica, and its new drugs Skyrizi and Rinvoq&nbsp;showing&nbsp;a strong performance.</p>\n<p>Even better, the company guided earnings above consensus, forecasting earnings per share of $12.40 for the current year. Relative to its share price of $103, this means that shares got even cheaper since our December article, they are now trading for just 8.3 times forward earnings. In short, there is nothing not to like, and I believe that 5.1%-yielding AbbVie is a&nbsp;strong buy.</p>\n<p><b>2. Bristol-Myers Squibb</b></p>\n<p>Bristol-Myers is the other healthcare pick in our original list. Like AbbVie, its shares were very inexpensive in December, and like AbbVie, it has continued to deliver strong operational results. Its most recent quarterly update included a 39% revenue growth rate compared to the previous year's quarter. This was impacted by one-time items from the Celgene takeover, but even adjusted for that, revenue growth came in at a strong 10% year over year.</p>\n<p>Like AbbVie, Bristol-Myers has also increased its earnings per share guidance for 2021, now forecasting profits of ~$7.30&nbsp;per share. Since shares are essentially flat since the beginning of the year, investors get an even better deal right now in terms of Bristol-Myers' valuation, which stands at 8.3 times net profits right now. Bristol-Myers is also one of the stocks Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A)(BRK.B)&nbsp;has continued to add to&nbsp;in the most recent quarter, which indicates that this is indeed a strong pick for value investors.</p>\n<p><b>3. MPLX</b></p>\n<p>MPLX is a natural gas midstream player that offered a great income yield in December, at almost 13%. On top of that, shares were very inexpensive, trading at a distributable cash flow yield of almost 19%.</p>\n<p>Like many other energy-related names, MPLX has performed very well in Q1, delivering a performance of almost 20% in three months. Nevertheless, shares are not at all expensive, trading at a single-digit<i>earnings</i>multiple - even though earnings are generally a lot lower than cash flows for pipeline companies due to non-cash depreciation charges. Management believes that the company will have ample surplus cash this year, even after making its hefty dividend payments.</p>\n<p>Its CEO stated that shares are undervalued and that the company will likely do&nbsp;buybacks&nbsp;this year, which is a major positive. This will not only be highly accretive thanks to the low valuation shares are trading at, but should also further support the price. Shares are a less outstanding buy compared to December (or&nbsp;earlier in 2020), but they still look very compelling, we believe. They also still offer a very attractive dividend yield of 11% at today's price.</p>\n<p><b>4. Enterprise Products</b></p>\n<p>Like MPLX, Enterprise Products has performed well so far this year, on the back of enthusiasm for energy-related names. Its profits and cash flows are not really tied to the price of oil, but the market still bid up shares in recent months. The same had been true in 2020 when shares were sold off in tandem with other energy names, even though Enterprise Products' cash flows were not really impacted by lower oil prices.</p>\n<p>Shares are up by double-digits so far this year, but Enterprise Products' shares are not at all expensive. Considering that shares are trading at just around 7 times this year's distributable cash flows, while shares offer a dividend yield of 8.1%, makes us believe that this is still a strong pick for income investors. The fact that management has been buying back shares is another tailwind that could gain relevance as growth spending slows down, which should free up more money for buybacks going forward. We thus&nbsp;still like Enterprise Products&nbsp;as a high-quality midstream company at current prices.</p>\n<p><b>5. Prudential Financial</b></p>\n<p>This insurer has had a very solid 2020 and seeks to generate even stronger profits this year. Shares are up by double-digits so far this year but do not look expensive. With current forecasts seeing the company earn about $11.50 per share this year, and even more next year, shares trade at a ~8 times forward earnings multiple right now. The company continues to reward shareholders handsomely, as Prudential has raised its dividend by 5% in February.</p>\n<p>At current prices, the stock yields 5.1%, which is quite attractive in a low-yield world. Management plans to return a total of $10 billion to the company's owners through 2023, which equates to shareholder returns in the 10% range. Investors can thus count on more dividend increases down the road, coupled with some buybacks that will be quite accretive as long as shares continue to trade at an inexpensive valuation. Shares were a better buy in December, but they still look solid today.</p>\n<p><b>6. Citigroup</b></p>\n<p>Citigroup was the only bank on our list, and I mainly chose it over peers due to its below-average valuation and above-average dividend yield. 2021 has been great for bank stocks so far, due to an overall shift to value stocks, combined with rising interest spreads that are beneficial for banks' earnings.</p>\n<p>Shares rose by double-digits so far this year, hitting a high of $76 about two weeks ago. At that price, shares were trading above tangible book value, which stands at $73.80 right now, which is why I sold part of my position in the mid-$70s. Nevertheless, I did not sell my entire stake, as I feel that shares could rise above that level at some point in 2021, even though they have pulled back a little for now.</p>\n<p>The fact that banks are allowed to return more capital to their owners this year could become a catalyst for share price gains in 2021, as Citigroup will likely seek to increase its dividend and ramp up share repurchases. Trading marginally below tangible book value and at around 10 times this year's earnings, Citigroup is not at all expensive, although also not an absolute bargain any longer. I am moderately bullish, but wouldn't buy more at current valuations.</p>\n<p><b>7. Simon Property</b></p>\n<p>Simon Property is the leading mall player in the US, especially following the close of its acquisition of Taubman. The company had a harsh 2020, but its assets will, we believe, remain in use for a long time. High-quality malls in major metropolitan areas will not lose their value due to online shopping, as retail space can be used for more experimental retail, restaurants, bars, co-working spaces, hotels, and so on.</p>\n<p>This was our thesis throughout 2020, which is why we were very bullish on the stock when it traded at ultra-low valuations last year. In 2021, shares have, so far, returned almost 30%, as the market is increasingly realizing that the pandemic was not the end for high-quality retail real estate such as the properties that Simon Property owns. Shares breached $120 earlier in March but have pulled back a little for now.</p>\n<p>Trading at ~11 times this year's FFO, Simon Property is not an absolute bargain stock any longer. I personally believe that shares will rise back towards pre-crisis levels of $150+ eventually, but that may take some time, and there is not necessarily massive upside left in 2021. I continue to hold my Simon Property position and am bullish with a long-term view, but the best time to add this stock wasin 2020 when it traded at double-digits.</p>\n<p><b>8. W. P. Carey</b></p>\n<p>Unlike Simon Property, W. P. Carey has not risen a lot this year. Instead, shares are down slightly, potentially due to the fact that real estate investors moved towards more cyclical picks in the sector for the reopening trade. W. P. Carey is a rock-solid, low-risk income stock that offers a yield of 6.0% right here and that trades at 15 times forward FFO. This is an above-average valuation compared to the other stocks in this list, but that seems justified based on the fact that W. P. Carey has always traded at higher valuations than most of these stocks.</p>\n<p>As income investors can still not generate attractive yields from bonds, they will, I believe, eventually flock back towards low-risk REITs such as W. P. Carey or Realty Income (O), which could propel shares of these companies back to pre-crisis levels. In W. P. Carey's case, they traded at around $90 before the pandemic, which equates to a yield of around 4.5%. A recovery to that level does not seem unrealistic, I believe, which is why I continue to see W. P. Carey as a moderate-return, low-risk stock, which makes it attractive from a risk-to-reward perspective.</p>\n<p><b>9. AT&amp;T</b></p>\n<p>AT&amp;T remains a battleground stock, with bulls touting the undervaluation and potential in streaming, while bears focus on the high debt load. We do not see AT&amp;T as an extremely-high-quality pick, but the company's shares offer a solid yield of almost 7% and current management seems to have the right focus. Plans to monetize non-core assets, including DirecTV, are great, and the company plans to deleverage meaningfully over the coming years. AT&amp;T is not a high-growth company and will not turn into one, but the fact that the performance of HBO Max has&nbsp;beaten management's expectations&nbsp;is a positive for sure. At less than 10 times net profits, AT&amp;T remains quite inexpensive and if management executes on its plans, shares could deliver quite solid returns over the coming years.</p>\n<p><b>10. Intel</b></p>\n<p>Intel is a somewhat weird stock - the company executes well and grows steadily, but its shares see big swings up and down depending on whether investors are focusing on positive news items or negative news items at the moment. So far this year, they seem to do the prior, as shares have risen by 25% in just three months. This can't be explained by the underlying operational performance, which has been solid but didn't include growth of 20%+. Instead, the market is currently liking Intel's stock based on recent news such as a new CEO and plans to invest heavily to grow production capacity.</p>\n<p>I think the best time to buy Intel's shares is when the market is&nbsp;focusing on the bad news, whereas one may want to lock in gains when shares are trading at the top end of the recent valuation range. At 13.5 times forward earnings, Intel's shares trade at a premium to the median earnings multiple they have traded at over the last couple of years, thus I wouldn't buy here. Instead, locking in gains in the high $60s seemed like an opportune choice. I wouldn't be too surprised if shares fell back towards the mid-$50s or lower at some point during this year.</p>\n<p><b>Takeaway</b></p>\n<p>Our picks for 2020 have done very well so far, easily beating the market and even purely value-focused ETFs. However, not all of these stocks are necessarily still a great buy. I personally wouldn't buy Intel now, as the stock has already delivered easily more than 20% this year, and is trading at the higher end of the recent valuation range. On the other hand, some of our picks, such as AbbVie or W. P. Carey, are still priced very favorably and may even be a better buy right now compared to the beginning of the year.</p>\n<p>We welcome you to share your comments on the above stocks, as well as your picks for the remainder of 2021!</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Top 10 Undervalued Income Stocks For 2021 - Value Beats Growth</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\">\nTop 10 Undervalued Income Stocks For 2021 - Value Beats Growth\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-26 23:10 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4416178-top-10-undervalued-income-stocks-for-2021-value-beats-growth><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nAt the end of 2020, we showcased a list of 10 undervalued income stocks for 2021.

This resulted in a combination of upside potential and above-average income for investors that bought these stocks at the time. In this article, we will look again at the same ten stocks to see what has changed and whether they are all still attractive at current valuations.\nTop 10 Value Picks For Dividend Investors\nOur choices in our original article included the following 10 stocks:\n- Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) and AbbVie (ABBV) in healthcare\n- MPLX (MPLX) and Enterprise Products (EPD) in energy\n- Prudential (PRU) and Citigroup (C) in financials\n- Simon Property Group (SPG) and W. P. Carey (WPC) in real estate\n- AT&T (T) in telecommunication\n- Intel (INTC) in tech\nLooking back one quarter later, we see that shares have performed like this:\nData by YCharts\nYear-to-date, they delivered an average return of 12% and a median return of 15%. Contrast this with the year-to-date return of 3% that was delivered by the S&P 500 index (SPY), and we see that our picks clearly outperformed the broad market, delivering 4-5 times the performance enjoyed by those that put their money into the index.\n2020 Versus 2021: Growth Versus Value\nThis was, I believe, partially the result of investing in high-yielding stocks that traded at very inexpensive valuations and were thus undervalued, but the portfolio also benefited from an overall shift in the market's focus.\n2020 was the year of growth stocks, which saw many \"growthy\" tech names generate very attractive gains. The same could be said about EV stocks, renewable stocks, etc., which all flourished last year thanks to an appetite for growth stocks and unprecedented monetary stimulus. In 2021, that has changed to some degree:\nData by YCharts\nIn the above chart, we see a very clear trend that emerged towards the end of February. The growth-heavy Nasdaq index (NASDAQ:QQQ) started to decline, underperforming the S&P 500 index this year, whereas the less techy, less growth-focused Dow Jones index (NYSEARCA:DIA) has beaten the S&P 500 so far in 2021. Looking at two ETFs that focus on either Value (VTV) or Growth(NYSEARCA:VUG), we see that the value theme clearly has been the winner so far this year, beating all three indexes, whereas the growth-themed ETF is down this year. The good news is that our basket of stocks still easily outperformed the Value ETF, which shows that we seem to have at least some skill when it comes to picking individual stocks (or maybe we got lucky).\nAre Those 10 Still Great Buys Today?\nSince some of these stocks have moved so much already in the first three months, they may not all be an opportune buy any longer, which is why we will take a quick look at all ten individually.\n1. AbbVie\nAbbVie was one of our two healthcare picks in the original article. The company combines many positives, including an above-average yield, a low valuation, and steady growth even during the pandemic. AbbVie's most recent quarterly results showcase its outstanding resilience during the current crisis: The company managed to grow its revenues across its portfolio, with Humira, Imbruvica, and its new drugs Skyrizi and Rinvoq showing a strong performance.\nEven better, the company guided earnings above consensus, forecasting earnings per share of $12.40 for the current year. Relative to its share price of $103, this means that shares got even cheaper since our December article, they are now trading for just 8.3 times forward earnings. In short, there is nothing not to like, and I believe that 5.1%-yielding AbbVie is a strong buy.\n2. Bristol-Myers Squibb\nBristol-Myers is the other healthcare pick in our original list. Like AbbVie, its shares were very inexpensive in December, and like AbbVie, it has continued to deliver strong operational results.

Bristol-Myers is also one of the stocks Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A)(BRK.B) has continued to add to in the most recent quarter, which indicates that this is indeed a strong pick for value investors.\n3. MPLX\nMPLX is a natural gas midstream player that offered a great income yield in December, at almost 13%. On top of that, shares were very inexpensive, trading at a distributable cash flow yield of almost 19%.\nLike many other energy-related names, MPLX has performed very well in Q1, delivering a performance of almost 20% in three months.

Management believes that the company will have ample surplus cash this year, even after making its hefty dividend payments.\nIts CEO stated that shares are undervalued and that the company will likely do buybacks this year, which is a major positive. This will not only be highly accretive thanks to the low valuation shares are trading at, but should also further support the price. Shares are a less outstanding buy compared to December (or earlier in 2020), but they still look very compelling, we believe. They also still offer a very attractive dividend yield of 11% at today's price.\n4. Enterprise Products\nLike MPLX, Enterprise Products has performed well so far this year, on the back of enthusiasm for energy-related names. Its profits and cash flows are not really tied to the price of oil, but the market still bid up shares in recent months. The same had been true in 2020 when shares were sold off in tandem with other energy names, even though Enterprise Products' cash flows were not really impacted by lower oil prices.\nShares are up by double-digits so far this year, but Enterprise Products' shares are not at all expensive. Considering that shares are trading at just around 7 times this year's distributable cash flows, while shares offer a dividend yield of 8.1%, makes us believe that this is still a strong pick for income investors. The fact that management has been buying back shares is another tailwind that could gain relevance as growth spending slows down, which should free up more money for buybacks going forward. We thus still like Enterprise Products as a high-quality midstream company at current prices.\n5. Prudential Financial\nThis insurer has had a very solid 2020 and seeks to generate even stronger profits this year. Shares are up by double-digits so far this year but do not look expensive. With current forecasts seeing the company earn about $11.50 per share this year, and even more next year, shares trade at a ~8 times forward earnings multiple right now. The company continues to reward shareholders handsomely, as Prudential has raised its dividend by 5% in February.\nAt current prices, the stock yields 5.1%, which is quite attractive in a low-yield world. Management plans to return a total of $10 billion to the company's owners through 2023, which equates to shareholder returns in the 10% range. Investors can thus count on more dividend increases down the road, coupled with some buybacks that will be quite accretive as long as shares continue to trade at an inexpensive valuation. Shares were a better buy in December, but they still look solid today.\n6. Citigroup\nCitigroup was the only bank on our list, and I mainly chose it over peers due to its below-average valuation and above-average dividend yield. 2021 has been great for bank stocks so far, due to an overall shift to value stocks, combined with rising interest spreads that are beneficial for banks' earnings.\nShares rose by double-digits so far this year, hitting a high of $76 about two weeks ago. At that price, shares were trading above tangible book value, which stands at $73.80 right now, which is why I sold part of my position in the mid-$70s. Nevertheless, I did not sell my entire stake, as I feel that shares could rise above that level at some point in 2021, even though they have pulled back a little for now.\nThe fact that banks are allowed to return more capital to their owners this year could become a catalyst for share price gains in 2021, as Citigroup will likely seek to increase its dividend and ramp up share repurchases. Trading marginally below tangible book value and at around 10 times this year's earnings, Citigroup is not at all expensive, although also not an absolute bargain any longer. I am moderately bullish, but wouldn't buy more at current valuations.\n7. Simon Property\nSimon Property is the leading mall player in the US, especially following the close of its acquisition of Taubman. The company had a harsh 2020, but its assets will, we believe, remain in use for a long time. High-quality malls in major metropolitan areas will not lose their value due to online shopping, as retail space can be used for more experimental retail, restaurants, bars, co-working spaces, hotels, and so on.\nThis was our thesis throughout 2020, which is why we were very bullish on the stock when it traded at ultra-low valuations last year. In 2021, shares have, so far, returned almost 30%, as the market is increasingly realizing that the pandemic was not the end for high-quality retail real estate such as the properties that Simon Property owns. Shares breached $120 earlier in March but have pulled back a little for now.\nTrading at ~11 times this year's FFO, Simon Property is not an absolute bargain stock any longer. I personally believe that shares will rise back towards pre-crisis levels of $150+ eventually, but that may take some time, and there is not necessarily massive upside left in 2021. I continue to hold my Simon Property position and am bullish with a long-term view, but the best time to add this stock wasin 2020 when it traded at double-digits.\n8. W. P. Carey\nUnlike Simon Property, W. P. Carey has not risen a lot this year. Instead, shares are down slightly, potentially due to the fact that real estate investors moved towards more cyclical picks in the sector for the reopening trade. W. P. Carey is a rock-solid, low-risk income stock that offers a yield of 6.0% right here and that trades at 15 times forward FFO. This is an above-average valuation compared to the other stocks in this list, but that seems justified based on the fact that W. P. Carey has always traded at higher valuations than most of these stocks.\nAs income investors can still not generate attractive yields from bonds, they will, I believe, eventually flock back towards low-risk REITs such as W. P. Carey or Realty Income (O), which could propel shares of these companies back to pre-crisis levels. In W. P. Carey's case, they traded at around $90 before the pandemic, which equates to a yield of around 4.5%. A recovery to that level does not seem unrealistic, I believe, which is why I continue to see W. P. Carey as a moderate-return, low-risk stock, which makes it attractive from a risk-to-reward perspective.\n9. AT&T\nAT&T remains a battleground stock, with bulls touting the undervaluation and potential in streaming, while bears focus on the high debt load. We do not see AT&T as an extremely-high-quality pick, but the company's shares offer a solid yield of almost 7% and current management seems to have the right focus. Plans to monetize non-core assets, including DirecTV, are great, and the company plans to deleverage meaningfully over the coming years. AT&T is not a high-growth company and will not turn into one, but the fact that the performance of HBO Max has beaten management's expectations is a positive for sure. At less than 10 times net profits, AT&T remains quite inexpensive and if management executes on its plans, shares could deliver quite solid returns over the coming years.\n10. Intel\nIntel is a somewhat weird stock - the company executes well and grows steadily, but its shares see big swings up and down depending on whether investors are focusing on positive news items or negative news items at the moment. So far this year, they seem to do the prior, as shares have risen by 25% in just three months. This can't be explained by the underlying operational performance, which has been solid but didn't include growth of 20%+. Instead, the market is currently liking Intel's stock based on recent news such as a new CEO and plans to invest heavily to grow production capacity.\nI think the best time to buy Intel's shares is when the market is focusing on the bad news, whereas one may want to lock in gains when shares are trading at the top end of the recent valuation range. At 13.5 times forward earnings, Intel's shares trade at a premium to the median earnings multiple they have traded at over the last couple of years, thus I wouldn't buy here. Instead, locking in gains in the high $60s seemed like an opportune choice. I wouldn't be too surprised if shares fell back towards the mid-$50s or lower at some point during this year.\nTakeaway\nOur picks for 2020 have done very well so far, easily beating the market and even purely value-focused ETFs. However, not all of these stocks are necessarily still a great buy. I personally wouldn't buy Intel now, as the stock has already delivered easily more than 20% this year, and is trading at the higher end of the recent valuation range. On the other hand, some of our picks, such as AbbVie or W. P. Carey, are still priced very favorably and may even be a better buy right now compared to the beginning of the year.\nWe welcome you to share your comments on the above stocks, as well as your picks for the remainder of 2021!","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":83,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3573201360768736","authorId":"3573201360768736","name":"Lty1098","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0123641e5b1e8993162711702dcb0f22","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3573201360768736","authorIdStr":"3573201360768736"},"content":"Like n comment pls","text":"Like n comment pls","html":"Like n comment pls"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":355580905,"gmtCreate":1617085031907,"gmtModify":1704801758719,"author":{"id":"3575717374757732","authorId":"3575717374757732","name":"Alvinpoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/584f95412ae1d0046271fa008f63b651","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575717374757732","authorIdStr":"3575717374757732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Is it really worth that much?","listText":"Is it really worth that much?","text":"Is it really worth that much?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/355580905","repostId":"2123265974","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":324,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3555844291871887","authorId":"3555844291871887","name":"Khinnn","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/68bb613a8a22170239f7d35424875e1d","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3555844291871887","authorIdStr":"3555844291871887"},"content":"Overpriced imo","text":"Overpriced imo","html":"Overpriced imo"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":349420461,"gmtCreate":1617633074053,"gmtModify":1704701168458,"author":{"id":"3575717374757732","authorId":"3575717374757732","name":"Alvinpoh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/584f95412ae1d0046271fa008f63b651","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575717374757732","authorIdStr":"3575717374757732"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"The new era -

Bringing EVs to the Gig Economy</b></p>\n<p>Many of the biggest EV stories of late have come from either the automakers rolling out new models or companies working on building out the infrastructure...</p>\n<p>But Facedrive is taking a different approach.</p>\n<p>Instead, they’re using the cars those automakers have already made and turning them into an entire EV-related ecosystem.</p>\n<p>So just like Uber has built their $96 billion business off leveraging cars they never manufactured, bought, or sold…</p>\n<p>Facedrive (TSXV:FD,OTC:FDVRF) connects customers looking to hail a ride, providing an eco-friendly solution.</p>\n<p>Their model is simple.</p>\n<p>When customers request a ride, they get their pick between riding to their destination in a standard gas-powered car, a hybrid or an electric vehicle (for no extra charge to them).</p>\n<p>Then Facedrive’s algorithm crunches the numbers, setting aside a portion of the fare to plant trees, offsetting the carbon footprint from the ride.</p>\n<p>Through next-gen technology and partnerships, they’re bringing EVs into the gig economy and making a splash.</p>\n<p>That’s because Facedrive has also added a food delivery service, which has taken off since so many have been stuck at home during global lockdowns.</p>\n<p>Today, they’re delivering over 4,100 orders per day on average. And after growing to 19 major cities, they plan to expand to more cities throughout the U.S. and Canada soon.</p>\n<p>But they’ve also gone beyond applying EVs to the gig economy and are offering a way for people to get behind the wheel themselves without the usual sticker shock.</p>\n<p><b>2 - Reinventing The Standard Model</b></p>\n<p>At this point there’s no question there’s a growing demand for EVs from consumers, as this trend has spread from Europe and Asia and through North America.</p>\n<p>And almost 3 out of 4 younger buyers even say they’re willing to pay higher prices to own an electric vehicle.</p>\n<p>But with Facedrive’s acquisition of Steer, you can get the benefits without the large upfront cost.</p>\n<p>Facedrive recently acquired the EV subscription company from the largest clean energy producer in the United States, and they’re aiming to change the way people think about using EVs.</p>\n<p>Steer has combined the Netflix subscription model with the EV boom to flip the traditional car ownership model on its head.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/691bfa3cd26d3a5a1a9ca1f3338eb551\" tg-width=\"450\" tg-height=\"181\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>With Facedrive’s acquisition of Steer, customers pay a simple monthly fee like with Netflix, and they get access to their choice of EVs from a fleet at their disposal.</p>\n<p>So they can borrow one whenever they need it instead of buying an EV outright - and at a fraction of the cost.</p>\n<p>They’re up and running in the Washington D.C. market already…</p>\n<p>And they’ve seen so much success there that they’ve decided to expand further north, to roll out the service in Toronto as well.</p>\n<p>With two of the largest metro areas in North America in the mix, Facedrive has started paving the path for a completely unique way to save drivers money in the EV boom.</p>\n<p>But their biggest announcement recently came thanks to their willingness to think outside the box and serve the most pressing need we’re seeing today.</p>\n<p><b>3 - Taking On The Biggest Challenges</b></p>\n<p>While Facedrive (TSXV:FD,OTC:FDVRF) has been busy helping bring EVs to mainstream use in creative ways, they’ve also found a way to help address the issue we’ve all been facing for the last year.</p>\n<p>By partnering with the University of Waterloo, they’ve created a wearable contact tracing technology called TraceSCAN.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e20d8dc5c6b5273656030ef394657c83\" tg-width=\"450\" tg-height=\"189\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>It’s designed to help alert those without cell phones after they’ve been in contact with someone who’s tested positive for COVID-19.</p>\n<p>That’s great news for those working in schools, airports, mining, long-term care facilities, and more.</p>\n<p>And the demand for TraceSCAN has surged in recent months, as businesses work to open safely and responsibly.</p>\n<p>Facedrive has now signed an agreement with Canada’s largest airline, Air Canada, to use this breakthrough technology.</p>\n<p>They’re also in discussions to continue TraceSCAN’s growth with major multinational corporations.</p>\n<p>But perhaps the most exciting news came from a government announcement in Canada just weeks ago.</p>\n<p><b>In February, the Ontario government announced they’re investing $2.5 million to help speed up the deployment of TraceSCAN to more users.</b></p>\n<p>This means TraceSCAN’s technology has gotten another vote of confidence in their innovative technology... to the tune of millions from the government.</p>\n<p>As governments and businesses around the world are doing whatever they can to stop the spread of the virus, this major announcement could help bring attention to Facedrive’s TraceSCAN technology…</p>\n<p>Applying more pressure to other organizations and governments to act responsibly and start investing more seriously in contact tracing technology.</p>\n<p><b>Setting Up For Electric Everything in 2021</b></p>\n<p>As 2021 heats up, we’re seeing that the EV boom isn’t just limited to manufacturing sedans anymore.</p>\n<p>It involves building an entire electric ecosystem and re-imagining what transportation looks like on all fronts.</p>\n<p>That’s why Facedrive (TSXV:FD,OTC:FDVRF) aims see their growth wave continue as they bring EVs to ridesharing, food delivery, and beyond.</p>\n<p>Here are a few other companies who could profit in the electric future:</p>\n<p><b>Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA</b>) has been one of the most exciting stories on Wall Street for the past two years. And that’s largely thanks to its CEO, Elon Musk. As a visionary in the tech world, Musk built his empire on <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a> and then pivoted to a cause closer to his heart, Tesla. Musk has had his eye on prize long before the green energy hype started building. In fact, he released the first Tesla Roadster back in 2008, making electric vehicles desirable when people were laughing at first-gen electric vehicles. Since then, Tesla’s stock has skyrocketed by over 14,000%. Largely thanks to its ambitious approach to a greener tomorrow</p>\n<p>Tesla isn’t just about cars, however, it’s diving head first into the battery market, as well. And by extension, could completely transform renewable energy as we know it. Tesla’s battery technology is a game-changer because batteries will be the first big step towards decentralized electric grids, another innovation fueled by the dramatic rise of blockchain technology, another cause that Musk is passionate about.</p>\n<p>Elon Musk is a major proponent of bitcoin, like his tech industry peer Square and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a>’s Jack Dorsey. Musk made a number of posts on Dorsey’s Twitter platform highlighting the benefits of cryptocurrency, and even put his own money where his mouth is, announcing that Tesla would be investing $1.5 billion into bitcoin, with plans to begin accepting bitcoin payments for Tesla products in the near to medium-term</p>\n<p>Elon Musk is truly a visionary of this decade. From his electric vehicle innovations and space ambitions to his forward-thinking approach on cryptocurrencies, Elon Musk may well become the first trillionaire, and Tesla shareholders are set to ride the wave.</p>\n<p><b>NIO Limited (NYSE:NIO)</b> has had an incredible year, taking the market by storm. Just a year ago, no one could have imagined how successful the company was going to be. In fact, many analysts were ready to leave it for dead. But the Chinese Tesla rival powered on, blew away estimates, and most importantly, kept its balance sheet in line. And it’s paid off. In a big way.</p>\n<p>Nio has made all the right moves over the past year to win over investors and turn heads on the streets and in the marketplace. On November 18th, NIO revealed a pair of sedans that even the biggest Tesla die-hard would struggle to pass up. The vehicles, meant to compete with Tesla’s Model 3, could be just what the company needs to pull back control of its local market from Elon Musk’s electric vehicle giant.</p>\n<p>In addition to its automotive push, however, Nio, Tesla’s largest competitor in China, has also started to offer a batteries-as-a-service concept, in which car buyers can ‘lease’ the battery of their vehicle and save as much as $10,000 on the price of a new vehicle, while also offering buyers the option to swap batteries after a few years of use. And that’s huge news in the lithium world, because it will mean give miners even greater incentive to sign deals with the battery innovator.</p>\n<p><b>General Motors (NYSE:GM) </b>just started a joint venture with Korea’s LG Chem to mass produce next-gen battery cells for electric vehicles, together investing $2.3 billion over the next few years.</p>\n<p>That’s not all its working on, either. In October, auto industry legend, GM announced that it’s majority-owned subsidiary, Cruise, has just received approval from the California DMV to test its autonomous vehicles without a driver. And while they’re not the first to receive such an approval, it’s still huge news for GM.</p>\n<p>Cruise CEO Dan Ammann wrote in a Medium post, “Before the end of the year, we’ll be sending cars out onto the streets of SF — without gasoline and without anyone at the wheel. Because safely removing the driver is the true benchmark of a self-driving car, and because burning fossil fuels is no way to build the future of transportation.”</p>\n<p><b>Ford (NYSE:F) </b>is another Detroit automaker making the jump to EVs - and seeing shares jump in the process. They recently announced they’ll be boosting their spending on EVs to $27 billion through mid-decade.&nbsp;That big investment includes plans of their own to develop an electric cargo van and a plug-in version of their bestseller F-150 pickup truck.</p>\n<p>Ford isn’t going to be left out of the autonomous vehicle boom, either. The company, for its part, has recently revealed plans to launch its self-driving business in 2022. The new vehicles, in partnership with Argo AI, a Philadelphia-based autonomous vehicle startup, will include major upgrades from advanced Lidar technology and high resolution cameras. Ford plans to test these vehicles in Austin, Texas; Detroit; Miami; Palo Alto, California; Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C. as early as this month.</p>\n<p>John Davis, chief engineer of Ford’s autonomous vehicle subsidiary explained, “We’re confident that we’re on the path to launching a safe, reliable and affordable service. And, we look forward to telling you more about how this service will ultimately help make people’s lives better.”</p>\n<p><b>Blink Charging (NASDAQ:BLNK)</b> was one of the darlings of the EV boom last year because of its expansion in EV charging technology. With their chargers deployed at airports, car dealers, hospitals, restaurants, retailers, and schools across the nation, Blink recently saw shares jump 76% in just one month. A wave of new deals, including a collaboration with EnerSys and another with Envoy Technologies to deploy electric vehicles and charging stations adds further support to its success.</p>\n<p>Michael D. Farkas, Founder, CEO and Executive Chairman of Blink noted, “This is an exciting collaboration with EnerSys because it combines the industry-leading technologies of our two companies to provide user-friendly, high powered, next-generation charging alternatives. We are continuously innovating our product offerings to provide more efficient and convenient charging options to the growing community of EV drivers.”</p>\n<p>In addition to the company’s string of high-profile deals, Blink is also consistently posting promising revenues. In fact, earlier this month, the company noted that third-quarter revenue had increased by as much as 18% from the year before despite disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. </p>\n<p>Canada is not likely to be left out of this boom, either. <b>GreenPower Motor (TSX:GPV) </b>is an exciting company that produces larger-scale electric transportation.&nbsp; Right now, it is primarily focused on the North American market, but the sky is the limit as the pressure to go green grows. GreenPower has been on the frontlines of the electric movement, manufacturing affordable battery-electric busses and trucks for over ten years. From school busses to long-distance public transit, GreenPower’s impact on the sector can’t be ignored.</p>\n<p><b>NFI Group (TSX:NFI) </b>is another one of Canada’s most exciting companies in the electric vehicle space. It produces transit busses and motorcycles. NFI had a difficult start to the year, but it since cut its debt and begun to address its cash flow struggles in a meaningful way. Though it remains down from January highs, NFI still offers investors a promising opportunity to capitalize on the electric vehicle boom.</p>\n<p>Recently, NFI has seen an uptick in insider stock purchases which is often a sign that the board and management strongly believe in the future of the company. In addition to its increasingly positive financial reports, it is also one of the few in the business that actually pay dividends out to its investors.</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LAC\">Lithium Americas Corp.</a> (TSX:LAC) </b>is one of North America’s most important and successful pure-play lithium companies. In a way, Lithium Americas is literally fueling the green energy boom. With two world-class lithium projects in Argentina and Nevada, Lithium Americas is well-positioned to ride the wave of growing lithium demand in the years to come. It’s already raised nearly a billion dollars in equity and debt, showing that investors have a ton of interest in the company’s ambitious plans, and it will likely continue its promising growth and expansion for years to come.</p>\n<p>It’s not ignoring the growing demand from investors for responsible and sustainable mining, either. In fact, one of its primary goals is to create a positive impact on society and the environment through its projects. This includes cleaner mining tech, strong workplace safety practices, a range of opportunities for employees, and strong relationships with local governments to ensure that not only are its employees being taken care of, but locals as well.</p>\n<p><b>Celestica (TSX:CLS)</b> is closely tied to the green energy boom. Celestica’s wide range of products includes but is not limited to communications solutions, enterprise and cloud services, aerospace and defense products, renewable energy and enough health technology.</p>\n<p>Thanks to its exposure to the renewable energy market, Celestica’s future is tied hand-in-hand with the green energy boom that’s sweeping the world at the moment.

And after growing to 19 major cities, they plan to expand to more cities throughout the U.S. and Canada soon.\nBut they’ve also gone beyond applying EVs to the gig economy and are offering a way for people to get behind the wheel themselves without the usual sticker shock.\n2 - Reinventing The Standard Model\nAt this point there’s no question there’s a growing demand for EVs from consumers, as this trend has spread from Europe and Asia and through North America.\nAnd almost 3 out of 4 younger buyers even say they’re willing to pay higher prices to own an electric vehicle.\nBut with Facedrive’s acquisition of Steer, you can get the benefits without the large upfront cost.\nFacedrive recently acquired the EV subscription company from the largest clean energy producer in the United States, and they’re aiming to change the way people think about using EVs.\nSteer has combined the Netflix subscription model with the EV boom to flip the traditional car ownership model on its head.\n\nWith Facedrive’s acquisition of Steer, customers pay a simple monthly fee like with Netflix, and they get access to their choice of EVs from a fleet at their disposal.\nSo they can borrow one whenever they need it instead of buying an EV outright - and at a fraction of the cost.\nThey’re up and running in the Washington D.C. market already…\nAnd they’ve seen so much success there that they’ve decided to expand further north, to roll out the service in Toronto as well.\nWith two of the largest metro areas in North America in the mix, Facedrive has started paving the path for a completely unique way to save drivers money in the EV boom.\nBut their biggest announcement recently came thanks to their willingness to think outside the box and serve the most pressing need we’re seeing today.\n3 - Taking On The Biggest Challenges\nWhile Facedrive (TSXV:FD,OTC:FDVRF) has been busy helping bring EVs to mainstream use in creative ways, they’ve also found a way to help address the issue we’ve all been facing for the last year.\nBy partnering with the University of Waterloo, they’ve created a wearable contact tracing technology called TraceSCAN.\n\nIt’s designed to help alert those without cell phones after they’ve been in contact with someone who’s tested positive for COVID-19.\nThat’s great news for those working in schools, airports, mining, long-term care facilities, and more.\nAnd the demand for TraceSCAN has surged in recent months, as businesses work to open safely and responsibly.\nFacedrive has now signed an agreement with Canada’s largest airline, Air Canada, to use this breakthrough technology.\nThey’re also in discussions to continue TraceSCAN’s growth with major multinational corporations.\nBut perhaps the most exciting news came from a government announcement in Canada just weeks ago.\nIn February, the Ontario government announced they’re investing $2.5 million to help speed up the deployment of TraceSCAN to more users.\nThis means TraceSCAN’s technology has gotten another vote of confidence in their innovative technology... to the tune of millions from the government.\nAs governments and businesses around the world are doing whatever they can to stop the spread of the virus, this major announcement could help bring attention to Facedrive’s TraceSCAN technology…\nApplying more pressure to other organizations and governments to act responsibly and start investing more seriously in contact tracing technology.\nSetting Up For Electric Everything in 2021\nAs 2021 heats up, we’re seeing that the EV boom isn’t just limited to manufacturing sedans anymore.\nIt involves building an entire electric ecosystem and re-imagining what transportation looks like on all fronts.\nThat’s why Facedrive (TSXV:FD,OTC:FDVRF) aims see their growth wave continue as they bring EVs to ridesharing, food delivery, and beyond.\nHere are a few other companies who could profit in the electric future:\nTesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has been one of the most exciting stories on Wall Street for the past two years. And that’s largely thanks to its CEO, Elon Musk. As a visionary in the tech world, Musk built his empire on PayPal and then pivoted to a cause closer to his heart, Tesla. Musk has had his eye on prize long before the green energy hype started building. In fact, he released the first Tesla Roadster back in 2008, making electric vehicles desirable when people were laughing at first-gen electric vehicles. Since then, Tesla’s stock has skyrocketed by over 14,000%. Largely thanks to its ambitious approach to a greener tomorrow\nTesla isn’t just about cars, however, it’s diving head first into the battery market, as well. And by extension, could completely transform renewable energy as we know it. Tesla’s battery technology is a game-changer because batteries will be the first big step towards decentralized electric grids, another innovation fueled by the dramatic rise of blockchain technology, another cause that Musk is passionate about.\nElon Musk is a major proponent of bitcoin, like his tech industry peer Square and Twitter’s Jack Dorsey. Musk made a number of posts on Dorsey’s Twitter platform highlighting the benefits of cryptocurrency, and even put his own money where his mouth is, announcing that Tesla would be investing $1.5 billion into bitcoin, with plans to begin accepting bitcoin payments for Tesla products in the near to medium-term\nElon Musk is truly a visionary of this decade. From his electric vehicle innovations and space ambitions to his forward-thinking approach on cryptocurrencies, Elon Musk may well become the first trillionaire, and Tesla shareholders are set to ride the wave.\nNIO Limited (NYSE:NIO) has had an incredible year, taking the market by storm. Just a year ago, no one could have imagined how successful the company was going to be. In fact, many analysts were ready to leave it for dead. But the Chinese Tesla rival powered on, blew away estimates, and most importantly, kept its balance sheet in line. And it’s paid off. In a big way.\nNio has made all the right moves over the past year to win over investors and turn heads on the streets and in the marketplace. On November 18th, NIO revealed a pair of sedans that even the biggest Tesla die-hard would struggle to pass up. The vehicles, meant to compete with Tesla’s Model 3, could be just what the company needs to pull back control of its local market from Elon Musk’s electric vehicle giant.\nIn addition to its automotive push, however, Nio, Tesla’s largest competitor in China, has also started to offer a batteries-as-a-service concept, in which car buyers can ‘lease’ the battery of their vehicle and save as much as $10,000 on the price of a new vehicle, while also offering buyers the option to swap batteries after a few years of use. And that’s huge news in the lithium world, because it will mean give miners even greater incentive to sign deals with the battery innovator.\nGeneral Motors (NYSE:GM) just started a joint venture with Korea’s LG Chem to mass produce next-gen battery cells for electric vehicles, together investing $2.3 billion over the next few years.\nThat’s not all its working on, either. In October, auto industry legend, GM announced that it’s majority-owned subsidiary, Cruise, has just received approval from the California DMV to test its autonomous vehicles without a driver. And while they’re not the first to receive such an approval, it’s still huge news for GM.\nCruise CEO Dan Ammann wrote in a Medium post, “Before the end of the year, we’ll be sending cars out onto the streets of SF — without gasoline and without anyone at the wheel. Because safely removing the driver is the true benchmark of a self-driving car, and because burning fossil fuels is no way to build the future of transportation.”\nFord (NYSE:F) is another Detroit automaker making the jump to EVs - and seeing shares jump in the process. They recently announced they’ll be boosting their spending on EVs to $27 billion through mid-decade. That big investment includes plans of their own to develop an electric cargo van and a plug-in version of their bestseller F-150 pickup truck.\nFord isn’t going to be left out of the autonomous vehicle boom, either. The company, for its part, has recently revealed plans to launch its self-driving business in 2022. The new vehicles, in partnership with Argo AI, a Philadelphia-based autonomous vehicle startup, will include major upgrades from advanced Lidar technology and high resolution cameras. Ford plans to test these vehicles in Austin, Texas; Detroit; Miami; Palo Alto, California; Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C. as early as this month.\nJohn Davis, chief engineer of Ford’s autonomous vehicle subsidiary explained, “We’re confident that we’re on the path to launching a safe, reliable and affordable service. And, we look forward to telling you more about how this service will ultimately help make people’s lives better.”\nBlink Charging (NASDAQ:BLNK) was one of the darlings of the EV boom last year because of its expansion in EV charging technology. With their chargers deployed at airports, car dealers, hospitals, restaurants, retailers, and schools across the nation, Blink recently saw shares jump 76% in just one month. A wave of new deals, including a collaboration with EnerSys and another with Envoy Technologies to deploy electric vehicles and charging stations adds further support to its success.\nMichael D. Farkas, Founder, CEO and Executive Chairman of Blink noted, “This is an exciting collaboration with EnerSys because it combines the industry-leading technologies of our two companies to provide user-friendly, high powered, next-generation charging alternatives. We are continuously innovating our product offerings to provide more efficient and convenient charging options to the growing community of EV drivers.”\nIn addition to the company’s string of high-profile deals, Blink is also consistently posting promising revenues. In fact, earlier this month, the company noted that third-quarter revenue had increased by as much as 18% from the year before despite disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. \nCanada is not likely to be left out of this boom, either. GreenPower Motor (TSX:GPV) is an exciting company that produces larger-scale electric transportation.  Right now, it is primarily focused on the North American market, but the sky is the limit as the pressure to go green grows. GreenPower has been on the frontlines of the electric movement, manufacturing affordable battery-electric busses and trucks for over ten years. From school busses to long-distance public transit, GreenPower’s impact on the sector can’t be ignored.\nNFI Group (TSX:NFI) is another one of Canada’s most exciting companies in the electric vehicle space. It produces transit busses and motorcycles. NFI had a difficult start to the year, but it since cut its debt and begun to address its cash flow struggles in a meaningful way. Though it remains down from January highs, NFI still offers investors a promising opportunity to capitalize on the electric vehicle boom.\nRecently, NFI has seen an uptick in insider stock purchases which is often a sign that the board and management strongly believe in the future of the company. In addition to its increasingly positive financial reports, it is also one of the few in the business that actually pay dividends out to its investors.\nLithium Americas Corp. (TSX:LAC) is one of North America’s most important and successful pure-play lithium companies. In a way, Lithium Americas is literally fueling the green energy boom. With two world-class lithium projects in Argentina and Nevada, Lithium Americas is well-positioned to ride the wave of growing lithium demand in the years to come. It’s already raised nearly a billion dollars in equity and debt, showing that investors have a ton of interest in the company’s ambitious plans, and it will likely continue its promising growth and expansion for years to come.\nIt’s not ignoring the growing demand from investors for responsible and sustainable mining, either. In fact, one of its primary goals is to create a positive impact on society and the environment through its projects. This includes cleaner mining tech, strong workplace safety practices, a range of opportunities for employees, and strong relationships with local governments to ensure that not only are its employees being taken care of, but locals as well.\nCelestica (TSX:CLS) is closely tied to the green energy boom. Celestica’s wide range of products includes but is not limited to communications solutions, enterprise and cloud services, aerospace and defense products, renewable energy and enough health technology.\nThanks to its exposure to the renewable energy market, Celestica’s future is tied hand-in-hand with the green energy boom that’s sweeping the world at the moment. It helps build smart and efficient products that integrate the latest in power generation, conversion and management technology to deliver smarter, more efficient grid and off-grid applications for the world’s leading energy equipment manufacturers and developers.\nMaxar Technologies (TSX:MAXR) is a high flying tech stock to watch in the energy transition. Why? Its wholelly-owned subsidiary, SSL, a designer and manufacturer of satellites used by government and commercial enterprises, has pioneered research in electric propulsion systems, lithium-ion power systems and the use of advanced composites on commercial satellites. These innovations are key because they allow satellites to spend more time in orbit, reducing costs and increasing efficiency. And it’s greener than traditional power sources.\nThanks to Maxar’s incredible tech and innovative approach to the already-extremely complicated space industry, the company has seen its share price climb where many of its peers have struggled.
