For leisure and travel stocks like <b>Airbnb</b> that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.</p><p>Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.</p><p>\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"</p><p>One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.</p><p>And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits.

They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call. That includes power sports, boating and RVs.Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.\"We also believe the time (spent) recently with family and friends has reinforced that they'd like to do more of that in the future,\" Happe said. \"And families and individuals will be reevaluating how they spend their leisure time going forward.\"Airbnb pointed to another sign of this trend among leisure and travel stocks. Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.Work-Life RebalanceAs people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle. In particular, they can try to balance work, leisure and travel differently.Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"Airbnb says the share of bookings longer than 28 days jumped to 24% in Q1 from 14% in 2019. The company doesn't consider this travel.\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"Future Of Business Travel?That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.Experts say fewer workers may fly for one-day intracompany meetings. However, more crucial business will still require people to fly for in-person meetings.When it's time to show up in person, Airbnb expects workers will travel together more often. That trend also has ramifications for Airbnb stock and others. Employees who work in different cities might stay in one house when they visit headquarters. They could share meals together at the kitchen table in the morning or evening.That may be a welcome change for road warriors, who pop in an out of cities and squeeze in sightseeing along the way.\"They don't miss business travel,\" Chesky said. \"They don't miss standing in line in front of a museum or a landmark … getting a photo with a selfie stick.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":317,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":135606062,"gmtCreate":1622159916456,"gmtModify":1704180470679,"author":{"id":"3575848243295753","authorId":"3575848243295753","name":"MKD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa2f37201562372d4e1f72bee80180e0","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hotel shares at high levels","listText":"Hotel shares at high levels","text":"Hotel shares at high levels","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/135606062","repostId":"2138926179","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138926179","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1622148060,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2138926179?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-28 04:41","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Airbnb, Vrbo and Vacasa vacation rental fees are making hotels seem like a bargain","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138926179","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Overall, cleaning fees for short-term rentals have risen an average of 5.8% in the U.S. since 2019.\n","content":"<blockquote>\n Overall, cleaning fees for short-term rentals have risen an average of 5.8% in the U.S. since 2019.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Ovi Kabir, a digital marketing consultant in Knoxville, Tenn., was unpleasantly surprised when looking for an Airbnb for a recent trip to Nashville . While he was able to find options below his $85 a night budget, cleaning fees of $200 to $300 drove up the price of a weekend getaway considerably.</p>\n<p>\"I understand there may be reasons for it, but we've found hotels have been a lot more accommodating and price-friendly,\" Kabir said.</p>\n<p>Kabir booked his first Airbnb a few years ago in Orlando, Fla. He remembers paying about $50 a night for private dog-friendly accommodations, a bargain in the eyes of a broke college couple with Harry Potter dreams. \"Our Universal [Studios] tickets cost more than our whole stay,\" he said.</p>\n<p>Kabir has since become used to paying between $100 and $110 a night for an upgraded hotel room with breakfast, cleaning, gyms, pools and more. \"Before, you gave up amenities but were saving money,\" Kabir said. \"Now you're paying the same price, but getting more for your money at hotels.\"</p>\n<p>Overall, cleaning fees for short-term rentals have risen an average of 5.8% in the U.S. since 2019, according to AirDNA, an analytics firm that tracks data from Airbnb and Vrbo, a vacation home rental website owned by <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a>.</p>\n<p>That increase has been driven partly by a preference for larger spaces in vacation markets, places where AirDNA shows cleaning fees already are typically higher. A heightened focus on cleanliness has also played a role.</p>\n<p>\"It is expected that cleaning fees would increase throughout a pandemic as guests' expectations related to cleanliness have also increased, which means more time and labor needed to meet those higher standards,\" AirDNA said.</p>\n<p>The average cleaning fee for a <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> bedroom entire-home short-term rental is currently between $48 and $112 a night, depending on the location. In a large urban city like New York, the average is just under $76, according to AirDNA's data.</p>\n<p>Larger homes typically command larger cleaning fees, especially when they're by the beach. The average cleaning fee for a five bedroom or larger entire-home rental in a coastal area is just over $381, AirDNA reports.</p>\n<p>Cleaning is a <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-time fee, but it does factor into guest service fees. The higher the cleaning fee, the higher the service fee a guest can expect to pay on top of their nightly room rate and other fees that may be applicable. Most guests end up paying a service fee around 14.2%, Airbnb said .</p>\n<p>Vrbo began charging guests a variable service fee in 2016. The percentage of that fee depends on the cost of the rental and is levied on top of cleaning, hot tub or other fees charged and set by property owners. \"We saw that not having a service fee was not creating a brand difference that meaningfully resulted in bookings,\" Vrbo wrote in a guide aimed at helping hosts in Australia understand the charge.</p>\n<p>Vacasa, an Oregon company that manages more than 25,000 vacation rentals, charges guests separate booking and cleaning fees. In some states, guests face an additional damage waiver fee as well. There are also extra fees for properties with hot tubs and guests traveling with pets.</p>\n<p>The company didn't respond to interview requests for this article but defended its hot tub fee online, describing hot tubs as \"a special treat\" on <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> in 2019. \"The tubs get well-used, and we have to clean, drain, and maintain them to keep them in good shape,\" Vacasa tweeted in response to someone who posted a screenshot showing a $98 hot tub fee for a $118-a-night property with an additional $102.50 cleaning fee.</p>\n<p>Teddy Montoya said he's still scarred from the fees related to a 2017 work trip to Keystone, a popular ski destination in the Rocky Mountains. Montoya and his colleagues decided to save the boss some money by booking a six-bedroom house on Airbnb instead of individual hotel rooms for a conference. The plan backfired.Between service fees, cleaning fees and taxes, the house ended up costing more.</p>\n<p>\"It was kind of our fault,\" Montoya said. \"We didn't look too far into the fine print.\" He now leans toward hotels. \"They tend to be cheaper than Airbnb and Vrbo.\"</p>\n<p>That has become especially true in some high-priced cities. In San Francisco, for example, average nightly hotel rates in 2020 fell to about half the price of comparable Airbnbs, according to an analysis from the bus and train travel comparison site Wanderu .</p>\n<p>That analysis, released in October 2020, showed Airbnb rentals in Chicago to be 21% more expensive than hotel rooms in the Windy City. In Miami, travelers can expect to pay 64% more for an Airbnb than they would a hotel, according to Wanderu.</p>\n<p>While Vacasa sets its own cleaning fee, Airbnb and Vrbo don't cap the cleaning fees hosts can set. \"Hosts need to set their own cleaning fees because everyone is in a different position when it comes to cleaning,\" Airbnb said in response to people complaining on the internet about its fee structure .</p>\n<p>Nearly half of the Airbnb listings around the world choose not to charge a separate cleaning fee at all, the company said. For those hosts who do charge a separate cleaning fee, the figure is typically under 10% of their total reservation cost, Airbnb wrote.</p>\n<p>Vrbo said last month that it's now seeing more travelers settle in for seven-night stays instead of opting for quick three-night getaways, an approach that would leave guests paying a little less for cleaning each night.</p>\n<p>Across vacation rental platforms, hosts are free to set their own nightly rates.</p>\n<p>While Airbnb suggested a nightly rate of at least $120 for her one bedroom apartment in Brooklyn, Trista Kempa set her price at $200 a night. \"It definitely is a high fee, but it has to be worth it for me to feel compelled to leave,\" she said.</p>\n<p>Living in New York early in her career, Kempa began renting out her personal living space on Airbnb to subsidize her rent. As her career and salary have grown, Airbnb has become an option, and not a necessity. She's adjusted her pricing accordingly.</p>\n<p>Kempa adds a $190 cleaning fee on top of her nightly rate -- a figure based on supply costs, laundry prices and the $150 she paid when she last had her apartment professionally cleaned. \"As a host, I have no intention of pulling a fast one on the guest,\" she said. \"It's going to cost me $190 to turn over this apartment.\"</p>\n<p>Her approach also encourages longer stays, which are more convenient for her. \"It's not worth it for me for under a couple of days,\" she said.

Why else would Blackburn quit his job at a Silicon Valley venture firm after just five weeks?</p>\n<p>Then the world learned that Amazon was looking to buy Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The company on Wednesday announced it would acquire the legendary Hollywood studio for $8.45 billion, a princely sum for a catalog that includes the James Bond, Robocop and Rocky franchises.</p>\n<p>Now Blackburn, who previously oversaw Amazon’s entertainment and advertising groups before joining Bessemer Venture Partners earlier this year, must integrate MGM, mine the studio’s catalog for new hits and help fulfill Jeff Bezos’s long-standing request for his own “Game of Thrones.”</p>\n<p>As senior vice president of the new Global Media &amp; Entertainment group, Blackburn will oversee Prime Video, Amazon Studios, music and podcast services, video games and the Twitch livestream platform. An Amazon spokesperson said MGM teams will report to Mike Hopkins, who oversees Prime Video and Amazon Studios; Hopkins will report to Blackburn when he rejoins Amazon next month.</p>\n<p>Blackburn, 51, isn’t a Hollywood insider. But his years at Amazon have made him a familiar name among entertainment executives, and he’s known to sit in on the occasional pitch meeting for forthcoming TV shows and other deals, whether at Amazon Studios’ Los Angeles area headquarters or in Seattle.</p>\n<p>In Blackburn, incoming Chief Executive Officer Andy Jassy gets an Amazon veteran to run an increasingly important business. With other retailers getting better at quick delivery of online orders, Amazon has been counting on its entertainment division to keep shoppers hooked on the $119-a-year Prime program, as well as introduce Amazon to new fans.</p>\n<p>During Blackburn’s tenure, the original content group experimented with tech-inspired, data-driven vetting of new programs before settling on a more traditional model that picked out well-reviewed shows like “Transparent” and the Oscar-winning “Manchester by the Sea” that nevertheless fell short of mass appeal.</p>\n<p>Blackburn was criticized for Amazon’s handling of harassment accusations against founding studios chief Roy Price. Price’s departure in 2017, two years after the allegations, set off debate and finger-pointing inside Amazon, the New York Times reported at the time.</p>\n<p>“I don’t know that he’s necessarily Hollywood savvy, but he’s more Hollywood savvy than Andy Jassy,” said Michael Pachter, a Wedbush Securities Inc. analyst who tracks Amazon and the entertainment industry. “And he is trusted by Jassy and Bezos.”</p>\n<p>Like many of Amazon’s first-generation of leaders, Blackburn moved from the East Coast to take a chance on the Seattle internet startup.</p>\n<p>He was born in Maryland, before moving to Concord, Massachusetts, where he played football, basketball and tennis, the Concord Journal wrote upon his induction into the Concord-Carlisle High School Athletics Hall of Fame. The 6 foot 4 inch Blackburn stayed on the field in college, starring as an outside linebacker for Dartmouth, where he earned all-Ivy League honors.</p>\n<p>He went on to earn an MBA at Stanford, before returning to the East Coast and the start of a career on Wall Street. In late 1996, while a junior investment banker at Deutsche Bank, Blackburn was assigned to Amazon’s initial public offering, writing excel models, portions of the prospectus and carrying the team’s heavier bags on the IPO roadshow, he said in a note to Amazon employees earlier this year.</p>\n<p>Blackburn joined the company in 1998, the year after the IPO, and was never far from the company’s key initiatives. Early on, that included a failed effort to match EBay Inc.’s success in online auctions. Later efforts, such as helping to establish Amazon’s third-party marketplace and advertising businesses, were more successful.</p>\n<p>Blackburn’s long stint running Amazon’s business development groups put him in charge of the merger and acquisitions unit, which in frugal Amazonian fashion has rarely shelled out more than $1 billion in a single deal. (A notable exception, the $13.7 billion acquisition of Whole Foods Market, came after years of investment in groceries with little to show for it.)</p>\n<p>“Jeff almost always prefers to build it” rather than buy, Blackburn told Bloomberg Senior Executive Editor Brad Stone in his best-selling book “The Everything Store.”</p>\n<p>But Bezos clearly decided MGM would help Amazon take on Netflix and the other streaming services.</p>\n<p>“This jump-starts them by 50 years,” said Pachter. “That’s really what it comes down to. They weren’t going to be able to produce enough content to ever get close to Netflix.”</p>\n<p>Pachter said that Amazon’s studios produce a few hundred hours worth of television shows and movies a year. MGM adds a back catalog of 25,000 hours that Amazon could divvy up between its Prime Video offering, or its free-to-stream, ad-supported IMDb TV.</p>\n<p>Figuring out how to breath new life into those assets now falls to Jeff Blackburn.</p>","source":"lsy1584095487587","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>Amazon’s Entertainment Head Gets Second Chance to Find Its Own ‘Game of Thrones’</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\">\nAmazon’s Entertainment Head Gets Second Chance to Find Its Own ‘Game of Thrones’\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-27 05:44 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/amazon-entertainment-head-gets-second-214403493.html><strong>Bloomberg</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>(Bloomberg) -- When news broke in mid-May that Jeff Blackburn was rejoining Amazon.com Inc. to run the company’s entertainment division, industry observers figured big changes were afoot.

The company on Wednesday announced it would acquire the legendary Hollywood studio for $8.45 billion, a princely sum for a catalog that includes the James Bond, Robocop and Rocky franchises.\nNow Blackburn, who previously oversaw Amazon’s entertainment and advertising groups before joining Bessemer Venture Partners earlier this year, must integrate MGM, mine the studio’s catalog for new hits and help fulfill Jeff Bezos’s long-standing request for his own “Game of Thrones.”\nAs senior vice president of the new Global Media & Entertainment group, Blackburn will oversee Prime Video, Amazon Studios, music and podcast services, video games and the Twitch livestream platform. An Amazon spokesperson said MGM teams will report to Mike Hopkins, who oversees Prime Video and Amazon Studios; Hopkins will report to Blackburn when he rejoins Amazon next month.\nBlackburn, 51, isn’t a Hollywood insider. But his years at Amazon have made him a familiar name among entertainment executives, and he’s known to sit in on the occasional pitch meeting for forthcoming TV shows and other deals, whether at Amazon Studios’ Los Angeles area headquarters or in Seattle.\nIn Blackburn, incoming Chief Executive Officer Andy Jassy gets an Amazon veteran to run an increasingly important business. With other retailers getting better at quick delivery of online orders, Amazon has been counting on its entertainment division to keep shoppers hooked on the $119-a-year Prime program, as well as introduce Amazon to new fans.\nDuring Blackburn’s tenure, the original content group experimented with tech-inspired, data-driven vetting of new programs before settling on a more traditional model that picked out well-reviewed shows like “Transparent” and the Oscar-winning “Manchester by the Sea” that nevertheless fell short of mass appeal.\nBlackburn was criticized for Amazon’s handling of harassment accusations against founding studios chief Roy Price. Price’s departure in 2017, two years after the allegations, set off debate and finger-pointing inside Amazon, the New York Times reported at the time.\n“I don’t know that he’s necessarily Hollywood savvy, but he’s more Hollywood savvy than Andy Jassy,” said Michael Pachter, a Wedbush Securities Inc. analyst who tracks Amazon and the entertainment industry. “And he is trusted by Jassy and Bezos.”\nLike many of Amazon’s first-generation of leaders, Blackburn moved from the East Coast to take a chance on the Seattle internet startup.\nHe was born in Maryland, before moving to Concord, Massachusetts, where he played football, basketball and tennis, the Concord Journal wrote upon his induction into the Concord-Carlisle High School Athletics Hall of Fame. The 6 foot 4 inch Blackburn stayed on the field in college, starring as an outside linebacker for Dartmouth, where he earned all-Ivy League honors.\nHe went on to earn an MBA at Stanford, before returning to the East Coast and the start of a career on Wall Street. In late 1996, while a junior investment banker at Deutsche Bank, Blackburn was assigned to Amazon’s initial public offering, writing excel models, portions of the prospectus and carrying the team’s heavier bags on the IPO roadshow, he said in a note to Amazon employees earlier this year.\nBlackburn joined the company in 1998, the year after the IPO, and was never far from the company’s key initiatives. Early on, that included a failed effort to match EBay Inc.’s success in online auctions. Later efforts, such as helping to establish Amazon’s third-party marketplace and advertising businesses, were more successful.\nBlackburn’s long stint running Amazon’s business development groups put him in charge of the merger and acquisitions unit, which in frugal Amazonian fashion has rarely shelled out more than $1 billion in a single deal. (A notable exception, the $13.7 billion acquisition of Whole Foods Market, came after years of investment in groceries with little to show for it.)\n“Jeff almost always prefers to build it” rather than buy, Blackburn told Bloomberg Senior Executive Editor Brad Stone in his best-selling book “The Everything Store.”\nBut Bezos clearly decided MGM would help Amazon take on Netflix and the other streaming services.\n“This jump-starts them by 50 years,” said Pachter. “That’s really what it comes down to. They weren’t going to be able to produce enough content to ever get close to Netflix.”\nPachter said that Amazon’s studios produce a few hundred hours worth of television shows and movies a year. MGM adds a back catalog of 25,000 hours that Amazon could divvy up between its Prime Video offering, or its free-to-stream, ad-supported IMDb TV.\nFiguring out how to breath new life into those assets now falls to Jeff Blackburn.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":294,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":138779298,"gmtCreate":1621980670714,"gmtModify":1704365313562,"author":{"id":"3575848243295753","authorId":"3575848243295753","name":"MKD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa2f37201562372d4e1f72bee80180e0","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Happening

Fool","summary":"The prospective pairing brings much more to the table than the addition of some more entertainment content.","content":"<p>For the record, neither <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN) nor MGM Studios have confirmed rumors of the former buying the latter. On the other hand, they're not denying the rumors either.</p>\n<p>And the idea certainly passes a plausibility test. MGM has been \"for sale\" for months now,&nbsp;and Amazon is most definitely in the business of making movies and television shows. The e-commerce giant spent $11 billion on video content last year, and perhaps more notably, its in-house Amazon Studios is now annually producing on the order of 300 hours' worth of original programming including hits like the TV show <i>Bosch</i> and the Academy Award-winning movie <i>Sound of Metal. </i>Adding an established name to the mix could certainly boost this original content effort, further loosening Amazon's reliance on third-party video.</p>\n<p>Such a deal would mean far more than just expanding Prime's library, however. Here's a rundown of the four biggest upsides Amazon could realize in bringing MGM Studios into the fold.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/54605113ad52cfe9e42ad5106f04a176\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>1. Prime's content library is bolstered with quality and quantity</h2>\n<p>Although there's far more to the matter, the addition of new video content to Amazon's current collection would still be significant. Recent counts suggest MGM's film library consists of more than 4,000 titles offering more than 17,000 hours of entertainment. Franchises include the <i>Rocky</i> series and all the movies about superspy James Bond. On the television front, <i>The Handmaid's Tale</i> and <i>Fargo</i> series are part of the MGM family.</p>\n<p>The company's clearly got the chops to make marketable entertainment.</p>\n<h2>2. Amazon gains access to distribution channels outside of Prime</h2>\n<p>While most of Amazon's original productions are only ever made available via Prime, that's not an absolute. Amazon's Oscar-nominated <i>Manchester by the Sea</i>, for instance, saw a theatrical run back in 2016, and its new flick <i>Late Night</i> is in movie theaters now.</p>\n<p>By and large, though, Amazon's in-house productions aren't even trying to get traction outside of Prime's ecosystem. The film industry isn't particularly welcoming to new, streaming-first outsiders, arguing their approach ultimately harms the business.</p>\n<p>MGM is neither a Hollywood outsider nor a newcomer, however. Indeed, it's been around since 1924, and for all intents and purposes is the prototypical studio. Sharing distribution resources with MGM -- which also owns subscription-based EPIX -- just might allow Amazon to monetize more content in more traditional venues like theaters, and even on television.</p>\n<h2>3. Amazon offers more focused leadership</h2>\n<p>Unlike most all of the other major film production houses, MGM Studios is owned by a consortium of private equity and hedge funds. And this ownership is highly fragmented. Anchorage Capital Group is the biggest stakeholder, yet still only controls around a third of the company. Highland Capital and Solus Alternatives are a couple of the other more noteworthy institutional investors, but they each only hold around a tenth of MGM.</p>\n<p>To date, the complicated corporate structure hasn't presented any glaring problems. But, clearly, the studios' owners have other business interests. They also have little individual incentive to develop the film-making outfit into a more fruitful company.</p>\n<p>Simply put, the studio may not be all it could be.</p>\n<p>Amazon's ownership wouldn't pose this potential risk of disinterest. Indeed, a wholly owned MGM would operate under more focused leadership, and Amazon would have every incentive to maximize the studio's potential that it isn't doing right now.</p>\n<h2>4. An acquisition prevents anyone else from owning MGM</h2>\n<p>Finally, if nothing else, acquiring MGM now prevents any other potential suitor from scooping it up and taking control of its brand name, distribution channels, and intellectual property. This may be the most important reason of all for Amazon to make such a move, even if it's also the least evident <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>.</p>\n<p>There's a land grab underway within the media and entertainment business. Just a few months before Viacom and CBS merged to form <b>ViacomCBS</b> (NASDAQ:VIAC) (NASDAQ:VIAC.A) in late 2019, Viacom itself acquired free streaming platform Pluto TV. <b>Walt Disney</b> (NYSE:DIS) went shopping in 2019 as well, picking up a slew of 21st Century Fox-branded assets. Separately, back in early 2020 <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FOXBV\">Fox Corp</a>.</b> (NASDAQ:FOX) (NASDAQ:FOXA) bought independently owned ad-supported streaming outfit <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/2BE.AU\">Tubi</a>. And just a few days ago <b>AT&amp;T</b> (NYSE:T) announced it would be selling its WarnerMedia arm to television content company <b>Discovery</b> (NASDAQ:DISCA) (NASDAQ:DISCK).</p>\n<p>Read between the lines.

On the other hand, they're not denying the rumors either.\nAnd the idea certainly passes a plausibility test. MGM has been \"for sale\" for months now, and Amazon is most definitely in the business of making movies and television shows. The e-commerce giant spent $11 billion on video content last year, and perhaps more notably, its in-house Amazon Studios is now annually producing on the order of 300 hours' worth of original programming including hits like the TV show Bosch and the Academy Award-winning movie Sound of Metal. Adding an established name to the mix could certainly boost this original content effort, further loosening Amazon's reliance on third-party video.\nSuch a deal would mean far more than just expanding Prime's library, however. Here's a rundown of the four biggest upsides Amazon could realize in bringing MGM Studios into the fold.\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. Prime's content library is bolstered with quality and quantity\nAlthough there's far more to the matter, the addition of new video content to Amazon's current collection would still be significant. Recent counts suggest MGM's film library consists of more than 4,000 titles offering more than 17,000 hours of entertainment. Franchises include the Rocky series and all the movies about superspy James Bond. On the television front, The Handmaid's Tale and Fargo series are part of the MGM family.\nThe company's clearly got the chops to make marketable entertainment.\n2. Amazon gains access to distribution channels outside of Prime\nWhile most of Amazon's original productions are only ever made available via Prime, that's not an absolute. Amazon's Oscar-nominated Manchester by the Sea, for instance, saw a theatrical run back in 2016, and its new flick Late Night is in movie theaters now.\nBy and large, though, Amazon's in-house productions aren't even trying to get traction outside of Prime's ecosystem. The film industry isn't particularly welcoming to new, streaming-first outsiders, arguing their approach ultimately harms the business.\nMGM is neither a Hollywood outsider nor a newcomer, however. Indeed, it's been around since 1924, and for all intents and purposes is the prototypical studio. Sharing distribution resources with MGM -- which also owns subscription-based EPIX -- just might allow Amazon to monetize more content in more traditional venues like theaters, and even on television.\n3. Amazon offers more focused leadership\nUnlike most all of the other major film production houses, MGM Studios is owned by a consortium of private equity and hedge funds. And this ownership is highly fragmented. Anchorage Capital Group is the biggest stakeholder, yet still only controls around a third of the company. Highland Capital and Solus Alternatives are a couple of the other more noteworthy institutional investors, but they each only hold around a tenth of MGM.\nTo date, the complicated corporate structure hasn't presented any glaring problems. But, clearly, the studios' owners have other business interests. They also have little individual incentive to develop the film-making outfit into a more fruitful company.\nSimply put, the studio may not be all it could be.\nAmazon's ownership wouldn't pose this potential risk of disinterest. Indeed, a wholly owned MGM would operate under more focused leadership, and Amazon would have every incentive to maximize the studio's potential that it isn't doing right now.\n4. An acquisition prevents anyone else from owning MGM\nFinally, if nothing else, acquiring MGM now prevents any other potential suitor from scooping it up and taking control of its brand name, distribution channels, and intellectual property. This may be the most important reason of all for Amazon to make such a move, even if it's also the least evident one.\nThere's a land grab underway within the media and entertainment business. Just a few months before Viacom and CBS merged to form ViacomCBS (NASDAQ:VIAC) (NASDAQ:VIAC.A) in late 2019, Viacom itself acquired free streaming platform Pluto TV. Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) went shopping in 2019 as well, picking up a slew of 21st Century Fox-branded assets. Separately, back in early 2020 Fox Corp. (NASDAQ:FOX) (NASDAQ:FOXA) bought independently owned ad-supported streaming outfit Tubi. And just a few days ago AT&T (NYSE:T) announced it would be selling its WarnerMedia arm to television content company Discovery (NASDAQ:DISCA) (NASDAQ:DISCK).\nRead between the lines. If Amazon doesn't step into MGM Studios here,  it's likely a competitor will, and then use the brand to compete head-to-head with Amazon's video entertainment interests.\nThe last word\nJust because Amazon arguably should acquire MGM for the intimated price of $9 billion, of course, doesn't mean that it will. And, buying it doesn't simply mean the prospective suitor will automatically or immediately realize the aforementioned upsides. Integration takes time, and work. It could take years to cultivate a synergy between the two outfits that results in more growth than either could achieve on their own.\nStill, as long as Amazon is going to remain in the video entertainment business, it's a prospect with a longer-term payoff that easily justifies the short-term cost.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":342,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":139506781,"gmtCreate":1621642593743,"gmtModify":1704360838807,"author":{"id":"3575848243295753","authorId":"3575848243295753","name":"MKD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa2f37201562372d4e1f72bee80180e0","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/139506781","repostId":"1174075999","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":171,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":197647701,"gmtCreate":1621466670603,"gmtModify":1704357929336,"author":{"id":"3575848243295753","authorId":"3575848243295753","name":"MKD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa2f37201562372d4e1f72bee80180e0","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hok","listText":"Hok","text":"Hok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/197647701","repostId":"2136391015","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2136391015","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com

While the two stocks beat the market over the last five and ten years, each lags the S&amp;P 500 in 2021. Is this an indication the stocks lost their mojo? After all, larger companies tend to grow at a slower pace, thereby weighing on the share price.</p>\n<p>Actually, there are a number of reasons to believe both businesses will flourish. In the case of Amazon, the COVID crisis spurred a membership increase in Prime, while the cloud continues to grow at a rapid pace, and the company’s digital ad revenues are experiencing marked growth.</p>\n<p>As for Apple, a new iPhone cycle is breaking records, the move to 5G appears to serve as a growth catalyst, and the firm’s subscriber services are also a source of continued growth.</p>\n<p><b>Apple’s Growth Catalysts</b></p>\n<p>Apple recorded a 54% increase in revenue for the latest quarter and a 110% surge in net income. Every single product line recorded double-digit growth, with iPhone sales increasing 65% year over year, Mac sales surging 70%, and iPad sales jumping nearly 79%.</p>\n<p>The question is, can growth continue?</p>\n<p>The answer is an indubitable yes, and the services category is one means by which the company can move forward. In 2017, Cook set a goal of doubling services revenue by the end of 2020. Last July, it was announced the company hit that target six months ahead of schedule.</p>\n<p>The latest quarterly report had services generating $16.9 billion. That marked the highest services revenue in Apple’s history, and also the fastest growth rate for services, at just under 27%, in over two years.</p>\n<p>Although products’ revenues were more than four times that of theservices, the latter category posted a gross margin of over 70%. In comparison, gross margin for products was 36.1%. Additionally, the revenue from services is less cyclical than that from products. Consequently, the services category can be expected to drive significant growth for the company.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, Apple now counts 660 million service subscribers, twice the number of subs recorded two and half years ago. The company is driving that growth through new offerings; for example, Apple Arcade added 30 new games, increasing the total to 180, and updated Apple Fitness+.</p>\n<p>In addition to the services setting new revenue and growth rates, Mac computers also set a new revenue record.</p>\n<blockquote>\n The last three quarters for Mac have been its best three quarters ever.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Tim Cook,CEO\n</blockquote>\n<p>Investors can expect continued growth in Mac revenues in 2021. IDCforecaststhe PC market will grow 18.2% this year. That marks a 40% increase from the robust growth in personal computer sales witnessed in 2020.</p>\n<p>However, perhaps the greatest immediate growth driver lies in Apple's share of the 5G smartphone market.

(AAPL) and Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) rank among the top five companies in the world by market cap. While the two stocks beat the market over the last five and ten years, each lags the S&P 500 in 2021. Is this an indication the stocks lost their mojo? After all, larger companies tend to grow at a slower pace, thereby weighing on the share price.\nActually, there are a number of reasons to believe both businesses will flourish. In the case of Amazon, the COVID crisis spurred a membership increase in Prime, while the cloud continues to grow at a rapid pace, and the company’s digital ad revenues are experiencing marked growth.\nAs for Apple, a new iPhone cycle is breaking records, the move to 5G appears to serve as a growth catalyst, and the firm’s subscriber services are also a source of continued growth.\nApple’s Growth Catalysts\nApple recorded a 54% increase in revenue for the latest quarter and a 110% surge in net income. Every single product line recorded double-digit growth, with iPhone sales increasing 65% year over year, Mac sales surging 70%, and iPad sales jumping nearly 79%.\nThe question is, can growth continue?\nThe answer is an indubitable yes, and the services category is one means by which the company can move forward. In 2017, Cook set a goal of doubling services revenue by the end of 2020. Last July, it was announced the company hit that target six months ahead of schedule.\nThe latest quarterly report had services generating $16.9 billion. That marked the highest services revenue in Apple’s history, and also the fastest growth rate for services, at just under 27%, in over two years.\nAlthough products’ revenues were more than four times that of theservices, the latter category posted a gross margin of over 70%. In comparison, gross margin for products was 36.1%. Additionally, the revenue from services is less cyclical than that from products. Consequently, the services category can be expected to drive significant growth for the company.\nFurthermore, Apple now counts 660 million service subscribers, twice the number of subs recorded two and half years ago. The company is driving that growth through new offerings; for example, Apple Arcade added 30 new games, increasing the total to 180, and updated Apple Fitness+.\nIn addition to the services setting new revenue and growth rates, Mac computers also set a new revenue record.\n\n The last three quarters for Mac have been its best three quarters ever.\n\n\n Tim Cook,CEO\n\nInvestors can expect continued growth in Mac revenues in 2021. IDCforecaststhe PC market will grow 18.2% this year. That marks a 40% increase from the robust growth in personal computer sales witnessed in 2020.\nHowever, perhaps the greatest immediate growth driver lies in Apple's share of the 5G smartphone market. Research from Strategic AnalyticsestimatesApple captured over 30% of the 5G smartphone market in the first three months of 2020. IDC alsoprojectsa 35.6% CAGR for 5G smartphones through 2025.\nNow consider that since 2016, with the exception of 4Q 2020, Apple has held no more than 17.9% of the smartphone market during the beginning of a new cycle, and that its market share drops to less than 12% as each cycle slows.\nBy perusing the following chart, you can see that should Apple’s dominance in 5G continue, it will lead to the company capturing a much larger share of the overall smartphone market, a very favorable outcome for investors.\n\nAmazon’s Growth Drivers\nThe following chart provides a clear picture of Amazon’s growth over the trailing twelve months.\nSource:Q1 21 Earnings Presentation\nObviously, ecommerce is the foundation of Amazon’s business, and a sound argument can be made that Prime is now the cornerstone of that foundation.

The index's 1% drop as of 2:15 p.m. EDT was bigger than what other major market benchmarks faced, in part because the appetite for high-priced stocks seems to have waned considerably over the past few months.</p>\n<p>However, a couple of Nasdaq stocks were big winners on Monday, and they both have innovative business models that could have a positive influence on the world.&nbsp;<b>AppHarvest</b>(NASDAQ:APPH)&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>Summit Therapeutics</b>(NASDAQ:SMMT)had notable gains to start the week. Below, we'll go into the details to see why investors are paying close attention to these two Nasdaq winners.</p>\n<p>Investors are feeding on this stock</p>\n<p>Shares of AppHarvest had a solid gain of more than 8% on Monday afternoon. The stock only recently came public through a merger with aspecial purpose acquisition company, and this was the first chance that investors had to see the sustainable-farming company's full potential.</p>\n<p>AppHarvest released its first-quarter financial reporton Monday, and shareholders liked what they saw. The company posted $2.3 million in revenue in its first operational quarter, selling 3.8 million pounds of tomatoes from its first greenhouse facility in Kentucky. AppHarvest posted considerable losses, as expected, but it has high hopes for the future.</p>\n<p>In particular, AppHarvest said that it had fully planted its 60-acre facility as of the first week of May, which should lead to capacity harvests for the foreseeable future as indoor farming makes all-year growing possible. The company has seen strong demand from customers like grocery-giant<b>Kroger</b>&nbsp;and fast-food restaurant chain<b>Wendy's</b>&nbsp;and anticipates more interest as it develops additional facilities.</p>\n<p>AppHarvest won't be profitable in the near term, but shareholders are still excited about its growth potential. With sustainable farming potentially making it possible to feed an increasingly hungry world, the stock is an interesting way to invest in agriculture.</p>\n<p>Here's a healthy pick</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Summit Therapeutics did even better, as its stock soared 22%. The developmental-stage biopharmaceutical company's financial report didn't feature very attractive numbers, but investors are optimistic about the progress it has made recently.</p>\n<p>Summit's financials were predictably ugly. Revenue was just $192,000, leading to losses of $17.5 million. Summit is burning cash to conduct clinical trials, and until one of the treatments in the company's pipeline pans out, investors can expect those losses to continue. However, the company noted that CEO and majority shareholder Robert Duggan provided an additional $55 million in debt financing during the first three months of 2021, helping to boost Summit's cash levels back above the $100 million mark.</p>\n<p>Moreover, Summit had promising news in its business update.

The index's 1% drop as of 2:15 p.m. EDT was bigger than what other major market benchmarks faced, in part because the appetite for high-priced stocks seems to have waned considerably over the past few months.\nHowever, a couple of Nasdaq stocks were big winners on Monday, and they both have innovative business models that could have a positive influence on the world. AppHarvest(NASDAQ:APPH) and Summit Therapeutics(NASDAQ:SMMT)had notable gains to start the week. Below, we'll go into the details to see why investors are paying close attention to these two Nasdaq winners.\nInvestors are feeding on this stock\nShares of AppHarvest had a solid gain of more than 8% on Monday afternoon. The stock only recently came public through a merger with aspecial purpose acquisition company, and this was the first chance that investors had to see the sustainable-farming company's full potential.\nAppHarvest released its first-quarter financial reporton Monday, and shareholders liked what they saw. The company posted $2.3 million in revenue in its first operational quarter, selling 3.8 million pounds of tomatoes from its first greenhouse facility in Kentucky. AppHarvest posted considerable losses, as expected, but it has high hopes for the future.\nIn particular, AppHarvest said that it had fully planted its 60-acre facility as of the first week of May, which should lead to capacity harvests for the foreseeable future as indoor farming makes all-year growing possible. The company has seen strong demand from customers like grocery-giantKroger and fast-food restaurant chainWendy's and anticipates more interest as it develops additional facilities.\nAppHarvest won't be profitable in the near term, but shareholders are still excited about its growth potential. With sustainable farming potentially making it possible to feed an increasingly hungry world, the stock is an interesting way to invest in agriculture.\nHere's a healthy pick\nMeanwhile, Summit Therapeutics did even better, as its stock soared 22%. The developmental-stage biopharmaceutical company's financial report didn't feature very attractive numbers, but investors are optimistic about the progress it has made recently.\nSummit's financials were predictably ugly. Revenue was just $192,000, leading to losses of $17.5 million. Summit is burning cash to conduct clinical trials, and until one of the treatments in the company's pipeline pans out, investors can expect those losses to continue. However, the company noted that CEO and majority shareholder Robert Duggan provided an additional $55 million in debt financing during the first three months of 2021, helping to boost Summit's cash levels back above the $100 million mark.\nMoreover, Summit had promising news in its business update. Phase 3 trials for its ridinilazole antibiotic are ongoing, with support from the federal government's Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. Moreover, the company just launched a new study for adolescents, hoping to establish a favorable safety profile as a complement to its concurrent phase 3 program.\nSummit's share price has been volatile as investors try to determine whether the company will find success with its clinical program. As with most companies in the industry, Summit could see either massive upside or suffer big losses depending on what happens with ridinilazole and the other candidates in its pipeline.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":125,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":195724265,"gmtCreate":1621318984257,"gmtModify":1704355709443,"author":{"id":"3575848243295753","authorId":"3575848243295753","name":"MKD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa2f37201562372d4e1f72bee80180e0","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"H taiwannn","listText":"H taiwannn","text":"H taiwannn","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/195724265","repostId":"2136394963","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2136394963","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1621311510,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2136394963?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-18 12:18","market":"other","language":"en","title":"Taiwan shares surge nearly 5%, easing dollar supports Asian FX","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2136394963","media":"Reuters","summary":"* Taiwan in talks with nations for COVID-19 vaccines* Worries in Indonesia of a surge in cases after","content":"<p>* Taiwan in talks with nations for COVID-19 vaccines</p><p>* Worries in Indonesia of a surge in cases after holidays</p><p>* Taiwan has plenty of fiscal firepower, expects measures - analyst</p><p>May 18 (Reuters) - Battered stocks markets in Taiwan and Singapore jumped on Tuesday, shrugging off fears over the impact of renewed coronavirus restrictions, while a weaker U.S. dollar lent support to Asia's emerging currencies.</p><p>Taiwan recouped Monday's sharp loss, rising nearly 5% while neighbouring Japan   , suffering from its own spike in cases and slow vaccination drive, jumped 2%.

Yet, demand is clearly there with the product progressing in mainstream and we postulate that it will stop trending higher in a few years to trend with inflation.

On Friday, the national average stood at $2.96 a gallon.Colonial Pipeline is a private company owned by CDPQ Colonial Partners, LP; IFM (US) Colonial Pipeline 2, LLC; KKR-Keats Pipeline Investors, LP; Koch Capital Investments Company, LLC; and Shell Midstream Operating, LLC, according to the company's website.Publicly traded parent companies in that mix include private equity giant KKR & Co and Royal Dutch Shell Plc.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":108,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":134564192,"gmtCreate":1622249251916,"gmtModify":1704182164450,"author":{"id":"3575848243295753","authorId":"3575848243295753","name":"MKD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa2f37201562372d4e1f72bee80180e0","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/134564192","repostId":"2138948877","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138948877","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"The leading daily newsletter for the latest financial and business news. 33Yrs Helping Stock Investors with Investing Insights, Tools, News & More.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Investors","id":"1085713068","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/608dd68a89ed486e18f64efe3136266c"},"pubTimestamp":1622215813,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2138948877?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-28 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Pandemic May Have Changed Vacations – And Travel Stocks Like Airbnb, Marriott, Winnebago – Forever","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138948877","media":"Investors","summary":"Vacation trends reveal shifts toward privacy, luxury and family, continuing a transformative period for leisure and travel stocks.","content":"<p>Your next vacation will likely be more private, luxurious or family oriented than your trips in the past, and business trips may never be the same.

Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.Cruise stocks like Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line are showing similar patterns.Meanwhile, shares of boat makers MarineMax and Brunswick as well as RV makers Winnebago and Thor Industries need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.Hotel leader Marriott has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from Expedia rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.When Luxury Means More PrivacyLuxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by Berkshire Hathaway, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.Vacation Shift Favors These Travel StocksHotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes & Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.The Homes & Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities — not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.Seaworthy Travel Stocks Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections. The National Marine Manufacturers Association says new powerboat sales surged 34% in February compared to the same time period last year.\"Inventory levels of new boats are the leanest they've ever been, and boats are being sold as soon as they hit the marketplace as manufacturers work to fulfill the backlog of orders,\" said Vicky Yu, senior director of business intelligence for NMMA. \"While new boat sales slowed in early 2021 following record sales last year, we are still seeing elevated levels as more Americans seek out boating as a way to spend quality time with loved ones.\"The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick as well as sport boat maker Malibu Boats.\"It's really turning out to be a great alternative for people to stay close to home and with their family and friends and enjoy the boating lifestyle,\" MarineMax CFO Michael McLamb said in a conference call after reporting earnings April 22.Travel Stocks For Being Alone TogetherThe desire to spend more time with friends and family is also spurring RV sales. They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call. That includes power sports, boating and RVs.Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.\"We also believe the time (spent) recently with family and friends has reinforced that they'd like to do more of that in the future,\" Happe said. \"And families and individuals will be reevaluating how they spend their leisure time going forward.\"Airbnb pointed to another sign of this trend among leisure and travel stocks. Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.Work-Life RebalanceAs people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle. In particular, they can try to balance work, leisure and travel differently.Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"Airbnb says the share of bookings longer than 28 days jumped to 24% in Q1 from 14% in 2019. The company doesn't consider this travel.\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"Future Of Business Travel?That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.Experts say fewer workers may fly for one-day intracompany meetings. However, more crucial business will still require people to fly for in-person meetings.When it's time to show up in person, Airbnb expects workers will travel together more often. That trend also has ramifications for Airbnb stock and others. Employees who work in different cities might stay in one house when they visit headquarters. They could share meals together at the kitchen table in the morning or evening.That may be a welcome change for road warriors, who pop in an out of cities and squeeze in sightseeing along the way.\"They don't miss business travel,\" Chesky said. \"They don't miss standing in line in front of a museum or a landmark … getting a photo with a selfie stick.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":317,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":194643948,"gmtCreate":1621379975884,"gmtModify":1704356542436,"author":{"id":"3575848243295753","authorId":"3575848243295753","name":"MKD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa2f37201562372d4e1f72bee80180e0","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Amazon&nbsp;","listText":"Amazon&nbsp;","text":"Amazon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/194643948","repostId":"1189117782","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":210,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":102756127,"gmtCreate":1620256267269,"gmtModify":1704340752030,"author":{"id":"3575848243295753","authorId":"3575848243295753","name":"MKD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa2f37201562372d4e1f72bee80180e0","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hello","listText":"Hello","text":"Hello","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/102756127","repostId":"2133584525","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2133584525","pubTimestamp":1620227100,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2133584525?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-05 23:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Must-See Quotes From Amazon's Earnings Call","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2133584525","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"There's a lot more to Amazon than its e-commerce and cloud computing businesses.","content":"<p>Despite posting impressive first-quarter results late last week, shares of e-commerce and cloud-computing giant <b>Amazon.com</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN) have declined about 5% since the report.

The link drew obvious comparisons, although we're certain Wood isn't employing the insane leverage that catalyzed Hwang's blowup.</p>\n<p>The second isbecause the launchof her newest actively managed&nbsp;\"Space Exploration ETF\" has included some curious names. For example, it owns names like John Deere, which many find curious, while excluding space exploration pure plays like Maxar.</p>\n<p>But something else is going on that has piqued our curiosity as of late. Wood's actively managed style seems to be drifting further away from risk-adverse and closer to just \"risk\". Sure, we have pointed out in the past Wood's propensity to sell large, liquid tech names like Microsoft in favor of buying speculative early stage names like Workhorse and Vuzix.</p>\n<p>And now people are also pointing out that ARK's funds have been taking sizeable stakes in&nbsp;<i>other</i>ARK funds. ARK's Space Exploration ETF now owns 7.2% of ARK's 3D printing ETF, for example.</p>\n<p>Additionally, Wood has alsoalready amasseda several hundred million dollar position in the newly listed Coinbase IPO, which is down almost 20% from its $350 reference price when it listed. Despite your take on crypto, it's tough to deny that piling into a sizeable equity position based mostly on super-volatile cryptocurrencies is a risk adverse strategy.</p>\n<p>And this has caused many on FinTwit to think about the feedback loop that is slowly determining whether or not ARK funds see success. This diagram appeared over the weekend, and shows exactly how - should inflows into ARK funds slow or reverse - their intrinsic value could collapse.</p>\n<p>Not unlike the Allied Capitals of the world, ARK looks more and more like a BDC marking its own book up as the cycle continues to feed off itself. The further along the cycle gets, the easier it becomes for a pin to prick the entire bubble.</p>\n<p>The question then turns to how much further ARK wants to \"push it\" and - not unlike the overall market which is seeing record levels of margin debt......how big the bloodbath could wind up being if the stock market decides to buck the Fed and simply decide \"enough is enough\", before puking up all of the malinvestment that has taken place over the last decade.</p>\n<p>But for now - maybe for one more day, one more week, or maybe even another month, Cathie Wood's ARK forges forward.</p>","source":"lsy1583725640930","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The link drew obvious comparisons, although we're certain Wood isn't employing the insane leverage that catalyzed Hwang's blowup.\nThe second isbecause the launchof her newest actively managed \"Space Exploration ETF\" has included some curious names. For example, it owns names like John Deere, which many find curious, while excluding space exploration pure plays like Maxar.\nBut something else is going on that has piqued our curiosity as of late. Wood's actively managed style seems to be drifting further away from risk-adverse and closer to just \"risk\". Sure, we have pointed out in the past Wood's propensity to sell large, liquid tech names like Microsoft in favor of buying speculative early stage names like Workhorse and Vuzix.\nAnd now people are also pointing out that ARK's funds have been taking sizeable stakes in otherARK funds. ARK's Space Exploration ETF now owns 7.2% of ARK's 3D printing ETF, for example.\nAdditionally, Wood has alsoalready amasseda several hundred million dollar position in the newly listed Coinbase IPO, which is down almost 20% from its $350 reference price when it listed. Despite your take on crypto, it's tough to deny that piling into a sizeable equity position based mostly on super-volatile cryptocurrencies is a risk adverse strategy.\nAnd this has caused many on FinTwit to think about the feedback loop that is slowly determining whether or not ARK funds see success. This diagram appeared over the weekend, and shows exactly how - should inflows into ARK funds slow or reverse - their intrinsic value could collapse.\nNot unlike the Allied Capitals of the world, ARK looks more and more like a BDC marking its own book up as the cycle continues to feed off itself. The further along the cycle gets, the easier it becomes for a pin to prick the entire bubble.\nThe question then turns to how much further ARK wants to \"push it\" and - not unlike the overall market which is seeing record levels of margin debt......how big the bloodbath could wind up being if the stock market decides to buck the Fed and simply decide \"enough is enough\", before puking up all of the malinvestment that has taken place over the last decade.\nBut for now - maybe for one more day, one more week, or maybe even another month, Cathie Wood's ARK forges forward.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":108,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":133782170,"gmtCreate":1621811697790,"gmtModify":1704362504689,"author":{"id":"3575848243295753","authorId":"3575848243295753","name":"MKD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa2f37201562372d4e1f72bee80180e0","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Mark cuban","listText":"Mark cuban","text":"Mark cuban","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/133782170","repostId":"2137182794","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":104,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":133897851,"gmtCreate":1621733494573,"gmtModify":1704361813643,"author":{"id":"3575848243295753","authorId":"3575848243295753","name":"MKD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa2f37201562372d4e1f72bee80180e0","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yes","listText":"Yes","text":"Yes","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/133897851","repostId":"2137092929","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2137092929","pubTimestamp":1621605000,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2137092929?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-21 21:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"4 Reasons Amazon Would Be Smart to Acquire MGM Studios","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2137092929","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The prospective pairing brings much more to the table than the addition of some more entertainment content.","content":"<p>For the record, neither <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN) nor MGM Studios have confirmed rumors of the former buying the latter.

Prime's content library is bolstered with quality and quantity</h2>\n<p>Although there's far more to the matter, the addition of new video content to Amazon's current collection would still be significant.
