Therefore, I still consider SMCI a &#39;Strong Buy&#39;.</p><h2 id=\"id_3077953962\">Fundamental analysis</h2><p>SMCI has recently encountered several significant reputational challenges. This began with a late-August opinions from some analysts that questioned the trustworthiness of SMCI&#39;s financial statements and the management&#39;s integrity. The company then failed to file its 10-K report on time, and there are reports of a DOJ investigation regarding allegations around accounting manipulations. As a result of all these adverse events, the stock price decreased by more than 60% since late August.</p><p>The company has recently released its FQ1 2025 preliminary results and FQ2 2025 guidance, with robust revenue and EPS growth. I tend to trust in the accuracy of this release, despite the aforementioned allegations. There are two big reasons for such confidence.</p><p>The first is that it is hard to imagine that a company under public pressure and scrutiny would manipulate its financials. Second, no major semiconductor companies have separated from SMCI and continue to call SMCI their partner. It has been rumored that Nvidia is taking orders away from SMCI, but I tend to go with what the companies say on their website.</p><p>On October 15, Nvidia announced a new partnership with SMCI. The expanded collaboration highlights the integration of Nvidia&#39;s BlueField data processing unit (&#39;DPU&#39;) into SMCI&#39;s storage solutions. This factor highlights Nvidia&#39;s confidence in SMCI&#39;s trustworthiness. Furthermore, a presentation endorsing SMCI is still available on AMD&#39;s official website. I might be missing something, but Nvidia and AMD appear to be companies with flawless reputations. Thus, it is highly unlikely that Jensen Huang or Lisa Su would risk their reputations by supporting collaboration with a company with questionable integrity or operational practices. There is also a separate page on Intel&#39;s website dedicated to endorse SMCI&#39;s offerings.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/e915ca85bac0b07cb94d9f717e09bebb\" alt=\"SA\" title=\"SA\" tg-width=\"617\" tg-height=\"311\"/><span>SA</span></p><p></p><p>Therefore, I consider the preliminary earnings announcement as trustworthy. According to preliminary results, revenue for FQ1 ranged from $5.9 billion to $6 billion, representing an 181% year-over-year increase. The growth was primarily driven by strong demand for AI GPU platforms. SMCI&#39;s non-GAAP gross margin has improved quarter-over-quarter from 11.3% to 13.3%. The profitability expansion was powered by favorable shifts in the product and customer mix.</p><p>The FQ2 guidance also looks robust, with the projected range from $5.5 billion to $6.1 billion. The $5.8 billion midpoint level is 58% higher compared to the same quarter of FY2024. The guidance fell short of Wall Street expectations, but this looks explainable, as the management cites low Blackwell GPU availability due to high demand. So, the problem looks temporary.</p><p>Secular trends are still strong as cloud giants look unwilling to cool down their data center spending spree. Amazon plans to invest another billion+ in Italian data centers and has recently bought 350 acres for data center in Becker. Google&#39;s plans to invest much more in data centers over the long term are apparent after the company announced that it is buying nuclear reactors to meet the energy demand of its current and future data centers. Microsoft also recognizes the potential for data center expansion and is already incorporating sustainable solutions to minimize its environmental footprint. Thus, the industry is thriving and evolving rapidly, providing a strong tailwind for SMCI.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c88485771692e0f540617907c77cd416\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"424\"/></p><p></p><p>The stock is significantly oversold, with its 14-day RSI indicator at a historically low level of 27. While the market seems extremely fearful about SMCI, I prefer to set emotions aside. The world&#39;s largest semiconductor companies, which undoubtedly value their reputations, continue to work closely with SMCI, suggesting that the allegations are likely overestimated. Furthermore, the company is already under significant public pressure and scrutiny, making accounting manipulations around the latest preliminary quarterly earnings release extremely unlikely.</p><h2 id=\"id_1000083254\">Valuation analysis</h2><p>As I mentioned, the stock is now significantly cheaper than it was in late August, and such a plunge is explained by fears of the market regarding accounting manipulation allegations. However, since I outlined why I believe that these fears are highly likely exaggerated, I plan to rely on long-term consensus revenue projections to build my DCF model. The zero FCF margin for the base year reflects the company&#39;s aggressive CapEx spending to address soaring demand. For the years after FY2025, I reiterate the same trajectory of the metric expanding by 200 basis points yearly. To balance out an aggressive FCF margin assumption, I use a very conservative 2% constant growth rate to calculate terminal value (&#39;TV&#39;). I use an 8% WACC to discount future cash flows.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/ad7a5df190b39226ec84be40cfeb92e3\" alt=\"Calculated by the author\" title=\"Calculated by the author\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"296\"/><span>Calculated by the author</span></p><p></p><p>The first simulation indicates a fair share price of approximately $90, which is almost four times higher compared to the current share price. Thus, fears around the stock made it extremely cheap.</p><p>The fair value estimation approaches the current share price only if unrealistically pessimistic assumptions are incorporated. The fair share price is around $23 when I apply a 1% constant growth rate and a very low 3% revenue CAGR for the next five years, with the FCF margin expanding by only 100 basis points annually.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/eac69b7345c3cdf59226b894d21ac6c7\" alt=\"Calculated by the author\" title=\"Calculated by the author\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"294\"/><span>Calculated by the author</span></p><p></p><p>With that said, I believe SMCI is very attractively valued. My target price is $90 per share, which is close to mid-summer 2024 levels, making such upside potential realistic.</p><h2 id=\"id_1906077690\">Mitigating factors</h2><p>Official communication is crucial in emergency cases threatening the image of a business, such as those experienced by SMCI over the last few months. In my opinion, the management could have handled the situation in a smoother way. As a result, it seems that the stock crash would not have been as bad. There is still no indication of when the company’s FY2024 10-K report will be published, which creates room for possible new bad-looking headlines. This might just set off another bearish market wave if the communication approach between the management and investors remains the same.</p><p>Additionally, the past precedent of delisting in 2019 due to accounting issues remains a concern. According to the official information from SMCI, the management is still unable to share the expected date of the 10-K filing, which increases risks of failing to comply with Nasdaq listing rules. However, I believe that the company&#39;s efforts to engage a new auditor will mitigate the risk. The completion of the Special Committee&#39;s investigation, which found no evidence of fraud or misconduct, is a positive step towards resolving this adverse situation.</p><h2 id=\"id_3728447271\">Conclusion</h2><p>As an investor, I prefer to set emotions aside and focus on the facts. A company that has faces intense public scrutiny is almost certainly not going to play along with its accounting books. This factor makes the recent preliminary FQ1 2025 earnings release is a reliable informational tool. I am also extremely skeptical that Nvidia, AMD, or Intel would continue supporting SMCI as a crucial technological partner if there was really something wrong with it.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha_fund","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

There are two big reasons for such confidence.The first is that it is hard to imagine that a company under public pressure and scrutiny would manipulate its financials. Second, no major semiconductor companies have separated from SMCI and continue to call SMCI their partner. It has been rumored that Nvidia is taking orders away from SMCI, but I tend to go with what the companies say on their website.On October 15, Nvidia announced a new partnership with SMCI. The expanded collaboration highlights the integration of Nvidia's BlueField data processing unit ('DPU') into SMCI's storage solutions. This factor highlights Nvidia's confidence in SMCI's trustworthiness. Furthermore, a presentation endorsing SMCI is still available on AMD's official website. I might be missing something, but Nvidia and AMD appear to be companies with flawless reputations. Thus, it is highly unlikely that Jensen Huang or Lisa Su would risk their reputations by supporting collaboration with a company with questionable integrity or operational practices. There is also a separate page on Intel's website dedicated to endorse SMCI's offerings.SATherefore, I consider the preliminary earnings announcement as trustworthy. According to preliminary results, revenue for FQ1 ranged from $5.9 billion to $6 billion, representing an 181% year-over-year increase. The growth was primarily driven by strong demand for AI GPU platforms. SMCI's non-GAAP gross margin has improved quarter-over-quarter from 11.3% to 13.3%. The profitability expansion was powered by favorable shifts in the product and customer mix.The FQ2 guidance also looks robust, with the projected range from $5.5 billion to $6.1 billion. The $5.8 billion midpoint level is 58% higher compared to the same quarter of FY2024. The guidance fell short of Wall Street expectations, but this looks explainable, as the management cites low Blackwell GPU availability due to high demand. So, the problem looks temporary.Secular trends are still strong as cloud giants look unwilling to cool down their data center spending spree. Amazon plans to invest another billion+ in Italian data centers and has recently bought 350 acres for data center in Becker. Google's plans to invest much more in data centers over the long term are apparent after the company announced that it is buying nuclear reactors to meet the energy demand of its current and future data centers. Microsoft also recognizes the potential for data center expansion and is already incorporating sustainable solutions to minimize its environmental footprint. Thus, the industry is thriving and evolving rapidly, providing a strong tailwind for SMCI.The stock is significantly oversold, with its 14-day RSI indicator at a historically low level of 27. While the market seems extremely fearful about SMCI, I prefer to set emotions aside. The world's largest semiconductor companies, which undoubtedly value their reputations, continue to work closely with SMCI, suggesting that the allegations are likely overestimated. Furthermore, the company is already under significant public pressure and scrutiny, making accounting manipulations around the latest preliminary quarterly earnings release extremely unlikely.Valuation analysisAs I mentioned, the stock is now significantly cheaper than it was in late August, and such a plunge is explained by fears of the market regarding accounting manipulation allegations. However, since I outlined why I believe that these fears are highly likely exaggerated, I plan to rely on long-term consensus revenue projections to build my DCF model. The zero FCF margin for the base year reflects the company's aggressive CapEx spending to address soaring demand. For the years after FY2025, I reiterate the same trajectory of the metric expanding by 200 basis points yearly. To balance out an aggressive FCF margin assumption, I use a very conservative 2% constant growth rate to calculate terminal value ('TV'). I use an 8% WACC to discount future cash flows.Calculated by the authorThe first simulation indicates a fair share price of approximately $90, which is almost four times higher compared to the current share price. Thus, fears around the stock made it extremely cheap.The fair value estimation approaches the current share price only if unrealistically pessimistic assumptions are incorporated. The fair share price is around $23 when I apply a 1% constant growth rate and a very low 3% revenue CAGR for the next five years, with the FCF margin expanding by only 100 basis points annually.Calculated by the authorWith that said, I believe SMCI is very attractively valued. My target price is $90 per share, which is close to mid-summer 2024 levels, making such upside potential realistic.Mitigating factorsOfficial communication is crucial in emergency cases threatening the image of a business, such as those experienced by SMCI over the last few months. In my opinion, the management could have handled the situation in a smoother way. As a result, it seems that the stock crash would not have been as bad. There is still no indication of when the company’s FY2024 10-K report will be published, which creates room for possible new bad-looking headlines. This might just set off another bearish market wave if the communication approach between the management and investors remains the same.Additionally, the past precedent of delisting in 2019 due to accounting issues remains a concern. According to the official information from SMCI, the management is still unable to share the expected date of the 10-K filing, which increases risks of failing to comply with Nasdaq listing rules. However, I believe that the company's efforts to engage a new auditor will mitigate the risk. The completion of the Special Committee's investigation, which found no evidence of fraud or misconduct, is a positive step towards resolving this adverse situation.ConclusionAs an investor, I prefer to set emotions aside and focus on the facts. A company that has faces intense public scrutiny is almost certainly not going to play along with its accounting books. This factor makes the recent preliminary FQ1 2025 earnings release is a reliable informational tool. I am also extremely skeptical that Nvidia, AMD, or Intel would continue supporting SMCI as a crucial technological partner if there was really something wrong with it.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":343531884163192,"gmtCreate":1724899679512,"gmtModify":1724899820240,"author":{"id":"3575853696180451","authorId":"3575853696180451","name":"PY07","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d210b362dee2c0853a42002ab27c8017","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575853696180451","authorIdStr":"3575853696180451"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/NVDA\">$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$&nbsp;</a> The Bloomberg interview with Jensen Huang did provide alot more insights on the Blackwell chip production, delivery and revenue.

Board member Mark Stevens unloaded about $125 million worth of shares, according to filings, while Jay Puri, the company’s executive vice president of worldwide field operations, sold about $10 million.Nvidia insiders in total have cashed out shares worth more than $1 billion since the beginning of the year. Huang has personally sold about $1.4 billion in shares since the start of 2020, including this summer’s sales. He plans to continue selling into August, according to a filing.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":261,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":334136365334664,"gmtCreate":1722609558836,"gmtModify":1722609562722,"author":{"id":"3575853696180451","authorId":"3575853696180451","name":"PY07","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d210b362dee2c0853a42002ab27c8017","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575853696180451","authorIdStr":"3575853696180451"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"the whole US market is in fact overhyped.

The key to maintaining its position will lie in quality assurance processes while maintaining customer trust through transparent communication, highlighting a robust response to the glitch.

Our average price target stands at $320 for 2024. while the optimistic target is $365 and the pessimistic target is $175. These targets are derived from short-term trends projected over Fibonacci levels (1.618, 0.5, and 4.618).</p><p>The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 37.24, indicating a potential <strong>oversold</strong> <strong>condition</strong> and is moving towards it. However, there is no bullish or bearish divergence, and the downward RSI trend suggests continued weakness. A long setup may emerge at an RSI of near 30, indicating a <strong>possible reversal point</strong>.</p><p>The Volume Price Trend (VPT) is also trending downwards, currently at 42.28 million. The VPT line is below the annual moving average of 62.15 million. This suggests weakening momentum, but a bottom touchdown of around 40 million could create a price reversal move.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4bd23c8e0cda6b3357bb28c898223dfb\" alt=\"Author (trendspider.com)\" title=\"Author (trendspider.com)\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"700\"/><span>Author (trendspider.com)</span></p><p>Seasonality analysis indicates an 83% chance of positive returns if invested in July, based on a 5-year monthly pattern. This high probability, combined with potential reversals in RSI and VPT, marks that a strategic <strong>entry</strong> <strong>point</strong> might be near if the stock hits <strong>oversold</strong> <strong>conditions</strong>.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/f3f05009a035b146844141ea151c522c\" alt=\"trendspider.com\" title=\"trendspider.com\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"676\"/><span>trendspider.com</span></p><h2 id=\"id_2247107572\">CrowdStrike Outage Sparks Major Cybersecurity Overhaul</h2><p>On July 19, 2024, CrowdStrike ran a faulty software update that caused a global outage. The update induced the &#39;Blue Screen of Death&#39; on 8.5 million devices running on Windows, thus paralyzing critical sectors like aviation, healthcare, banking, and government services.</p><p>Though less than 1% of Windows devices were hit, the impact was very strong due to CrowdStrike&#39;s vital role in such sectors. Flights were canceled, medical procedures were delayed, and many other societal systems were disrupted. Identifying the problem through CrowdStrike and providing proactive recommendations to reduce the impact underscore our expertise and proactive approach to cyber issues.</p><p>Moving forward, CrowdStrike is on course to avoid such instances by implementing more aggressive testing of software updates and developing additional communication strategies to help identify potential problems earlier. Shareholders should expect the company to double its efforts toward resilience and transparency easily-the result should be the restoration of faith that it can ultimately protect vital infrastructure.</p><p>This incident again highlighted the paramount importance of investing in cybersecurity and the need for perpetually increasing digital defenses. Thus, by addressing the ethical dilemmas related to privacy and national security and promoting cybersecurity best practices, CrowdStrike can contribute to a more secure and resilient digital ecosystem, benefiting its clients and stakeholders.</p><h2 id=\"id_2322173140\">A Path to Resilience and Recovery</h2><p>CEO George Kurtz has been brought in by the US House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee to be questioned-an indication of how grave the case is. The insured losses for the said event were pegged at $540 million and $1.08 billion for only the companies in the Fortune 500 category. In comparison, worldwide financial losses have been estimated to be around $15 billion. On the other hand, CrowdStrike&#39;s quick and transparent reflexes, supplemented by a robust post-incident strategy, prove that the company can indeed bounce back from an unprecedented mistake.</p><p>Further, CrowdStrike&#39;s proactive work engaging regulators and affected parties to participate in remediation efforts demonstrates a commitment to solving the problem. This minimizes long-term financial impact and may establish a strong base for future negotiations and settlements. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency warned that malicious activities continued by taking advantage of the outage.</p><p>The recent outage caused by CrowdStrike&#39;s software update has raised concerns about customer retention. While some customers may explore alternative solutions, the company&#39;s rapid response and commitment to improving its systems can help mitigate long-term customer attrition.</p><p>Finally, analysts predict that around 5% of CrowdStrike&#39;s customer base might consider switching to competitors. However, CrowdStrike&#39;s market-leading position and difficulty immediately cutting ties due to existing contracts suggest that the overall impact might be contained.</p><h2 id=\"id_795910209\">How CrowdStrike&#39;s Response to Challenges Fortifies Its Market Leadership</h2><p>While some customers may seek a different relationship with CrowdStrike, the company&#39;s comprehensive response plan will likely provide existing clients with additional <strong>reassurance and contingency plans</strong>. Furthermore, the increasing demand for cybersecurity in critical sectors will continue to drive the need for cutting-edge solutions like those offered by CrowdStrike.</p><p>Ultimately, the incident may <strong>strengthen the company&#39;s market position</strong> regarding its ability to adapt and improve services. While certain challenges arise from the recent outage, CrowdStrike&#39;s proactive measures, strong market position, and commitment to innovation set a positive tone for recovery and growth. The investors shall consider the company&#39;s resilience and strategic adjustments while judging the prospect of this firm in the future.</p><p>According to CrowdStrike&#39;s latest 10-K filing, the company has maintained a very diversified customer base; hence, it carries <strong>low</strong> <strong>customer concentration risk</strong>, enhancing its position to sustain any potential upcoming losses. Specifically, no one customer or channel partner accounted for 10% or more of the company&#39;s consolidated revenue or accounts receivable in either of the fiscal years ending January 31, 2024. Lastly, CrowdStrike controls 17.7% of the endpoint protection market, surpassing Microsoft&#39;s 16.4%. Even if the company experiences some market share loss, the impact will be minimal due to the relatively high switching costs that deter customers from changing providers.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/1d71285aee6fddc615caf5d6db0b75ae\" alt=\"CrowdStrike\" title=\"CrowdStrike\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"289\"/><span>CrowdStrike</span></p><h2 id=\"id_3534466798\">Takeaway</h2><p>CrowdStrike&#39;s recent incident, identified as a low-level bug rather than a breach, underscores the difference between a recoverable setback and a catastrophic event. The company is expected to survive despite losing some ground to competitors like SentinelOne. The key to maintaining its position will be improving quality assurance processes, reinforcing customer trust through transparent communication, and highlighting its robust response to glitches. Investing in marketing to reshape public perception and continuing to innovate its Falcon platform will also be crucial.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The key to maintaining its position will lie in quality assurance processes while maintaining customer trust through transparent communication, highlighting a robust response to the glitch. It will also be essential to continue investing in marketing to reshape public perception and innovate on the Falcon platform.CrowdStrike must set a path for the future through strategic partnerships or acquisitions that improve service offerings and enter new markets. The setback will allow the company to maintain its competitive position if the lessons are used to strengthen resilience, enhance technological capacity, and deepen customer relations.CRWD Nears Oversold Territory with $320 Price Target for 2024CRWD currently trades at $256.16, being on a downward trajectory. Our average price target stands at $320 for 2024. while the optimistic target is $365 and the pessimistic target is $175. These targets are derived from short-term trends projected over Fibonacci levels (1.618, 0.5, and 4.618).The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 37.24, indicating a potential oversold condition and is moving towards it. However, there is no bullish or bearish divergence, and the downward RSI trend suggests continued weakness. A long setup may emerge at an RSI of near 30, indicating a possible reversal point.The Volume Price Trend (VPT) is also trending downwards, currently at 42.28 million. The VPT line is below the annual moving average of 62.15 million. This suggests weakening momentum, but a bottom touchdown of around 40 million could create a price reversal move.Author (trendspider.com)Seasonality analysis indicates an 83% chance of positive returns if invested in July, based on a 5-year monthly pattern. This high probability, combined with potential reversals in RSI and VPT, marks that a strategic entry point might be near if the stock hits oversold conditions.trendspider.comCrowdStrike Outage Sparks Major Cybersecurity OverhaulOn July 19, 2024, CrowdStrike ran a faulty software update that caused a global outage. The update induced the 'Blue Screen of Death' on 8.5 million devices running on Windows, thus paralyzing critical sectors like aviation, healthcare, banking, and government services.Though less than 1% of Windows devices were hit, the impact was very strong due to CrowdStrike's vital role in such sectors. Flights were canceled, medical procedures were delayed, and many other societal systems were disrupted. Identifying the problem through CrowdStrike and providing proactive recommendations to reduce the impact underscore our expertise and proactive approach to cyber issues.Moving forward, CrowdStrike is on course to avoid such instances by implementing more aggressive testing of software updates and developing additional communication strategies to help identify potential problems earlier. Shareholders should expect the company to double its efforts toward resilience and transparency easily-the result should be the restoration of faith that it can ultimately protect vital infrastructure.This incident again highlighted the paramount importance of investing in cybersecurity and the need for perpetually increasing digital defenses. Thus, by addressing the ethical dilemmas related to privacy and national security and promoting cybersecurity best practices, CrowdStrike can contribute to a more secure and resilient digital ecosystem, benefiting its clients and stakeholders.A Path to Resilience and RecoveryCEO George Kurtz has been brought in by the US House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee to be questioned-an indication of how grave the case is. The insured losses for the said event were pegged at $540 million and $1.08 billion for only the companies in the Fortune 500 category. In comparison, worldwide financial losses have been estimated to be around $15 billion. On the other hand, CrowdStrike's quick and transparent reflexes, supplemented by a robust post-incident strategy, prove that the company can indeed bounce back from an unprecedented mistake.Further, CrowdStrike's proactive work engaging regulators and affected parties to participate in remediation efforts demonstrates a commitment to solving the problem. This minimizes long-term financial impact and may establish a strong base for future negotiations and settlements. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency warned that malicious activities continued by taking advantage of the outage.The recent outage caused by CrowdStrike's software update has raised concerns about customer retention. While some customers may explore alternative solutions, the company's rapid response and commitment to improving its systems can help mitigate long-term customer attrition.Finally, analysts predict that around 5% of CrowdStrike's customer base might consider switching to competitors. However, CrowdStrike's market-leading position and difficulty immediately cutting ties due to existing contracts suggest that the overall impact might be contained.How CrowdStrike's Response to Challenges Fortifies Its Market LeadershipWhile some customers may seek a different relationship with CrowdStrike, the company's comprehensive response plan will likely provide existing clients with additional reassurance and contingency plans. Furthermore, the increasing demand for cybersecurity in critical sectors will continue to drive the need for cutting-edge solutions like those offered by CrowdStrike.Ultimately, the incident may strengthen the company's market position regarding its ability to adapt and improve services. While certain challenges arise from the recent outage, CrowdStrike's proactive measures, strong market position, and commitment to innovation set a positive tone for recovery and growth. The investors shall consider the company's resilience and strategic adjustments while judging the prospect of this firm in the future.According to CrowdStrike's latest 10-K filing, the company has maintained a very diversified customer base; hence, it carries low customer concentration risk, enhancing its position to sustain any potential upcoming losses. Specifically, no one customer or channel partner accounted for 10% or more of the company's consolidated revenue or accounts receivable in either of the fiscal years ending January 31, 2024. Lastly, CrowdStrike controls 17.7% of the endpoint protection market, surpassing Microsoft's 16.4%. Even if the company experiences some market share loss, the impact will be minimal due to the relatively high switching costs that deter customers from changing providers.CrowdStrikeTakeawayCrowdStrike's recent incident, identified as a low-level bug rather than a breach, underscores the difference between a recoverable setback and a catastrophic event. The company is expected to survive despite losing some ground to competitors like SentinelOne. The key to maintaining its position will be improving quality assurance processes, reinforcing customer trust through transparent communication, and highlighting its robust response to glitches. Investing in marketing to reshape public perception and continuing to innovate its Falcon platform will also be crucial.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":320,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":324252131053576,"gmtCreate":1720192470039,"gmtModify":1720192592100,"author":{"id":"3575853696180451","authorId":"3575853696180451","name":"PY07","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d210b362dee2c0853a42002ab27c8017","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575853696180451","authorIdStr":"3575853696180451"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/NVDL 20240705 61.0 CALL\">$NVDL 20240705 61.0 CALL$</a>[Wow]&nbsp;&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/OPT/NVDL 20240705 61.0 CALL\">$NVDL 20240705 61.0 CALL$</a>[Wow]&nbsp;&nbsp;","text":"$NVDL 20240705 61.0 CALL$[Wow]","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/60ca4da3359c5cbafe34aa6a09b9e56f","width":"1092","height":"1717"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/324252131053576","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":299,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":322298496491712,"gmtCreate":1719716523050,"gmtModify":1719717890212,"author":{"id":"3575853696180451","authorId":"3575853696180451","name":"PY07","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d210b362dee2c0853a42002ab27c8017","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575853696180451","authorIdStr":"3575853696180451"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sell before the announcement ?","listText":"Sell before the announcement ?","text":"Sell before the announcement ?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/322298496491712","repostId":"1119622885","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1119622885","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1719703930,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1119622885?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-06-30 07:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Weekly Hottest Sector | Tesla Rises 8% Ahead of Crucial Q2 Deliveries; Rivian Reports a Weekly Gain of 30%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1119622885","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Electric-vehicle shares finished the week on a mixed note, with market leader $Tesla$ rising over 8% ahead of crucial Q2 deliveries.

The company&#39;s fundamentals, however, are as poor as they used to be a month ago. This is an update of my earlier work on GameStop following GME stock&#39;s miraculous rally. I will explain why buying the stock immediately after this rally would be pure speculation and why the company&#39;s stock fundamentals are poor.</p><h2 id=\"id_2879136696\">Recap of my previous GME analysis</h2><p>In my previous analysis, I covered GameStop&#39;s earnings. The analysis was published on 7 September 2023 and covered 2Q 2023 earnings. At the time, GameStop&#39;s quarterly earnings showed a decrease in net loss and a slight fall in revenues. I also pointed to the company&#39;s poor sales and profit histories. GME stock was not undervalued at the time and carried substantial downside risks. At the time, I also said there was potential for strategic changes or market speculation. No strategic changes have happened to the business so far. However, the recent market speculation had absolutely no fundamental factors behind it. Right now, the stock price is off its highs. And it is quite close to the levels seen when my September article about GameStop was published. One GME share was worth $18.89.</p><h2 id=\"id_3651835170\">GME rally</h2><p>GameStop (GME) skyrocketed from less than $15 per share to $50 a share, reaching levels unseen since August 2022. The stock price surged after Keith Gill, the trader at the center of the meme-stock craze, made a post in social media.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/023afa5e44a90363f74512aab2e06b9b\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"424\"/></p><p>Data by YCharts</p><p>GameStop’s (GME) share price had surged almost threefold from the end of April through mid-May.</p><p>Shares of the video-game seller soared after Keith Gill&#39;s TheRoaringKitty account tweeted for the first time in almost three years. About three years ago, Gill posted an analysis of GameStop as an undervalued company. This post was said to provoke GameStop’s (GME) rally and also a massive short-squeeze, making hedge funds record losses in January 2021.</p><p>But what has happened to the company itself, not its stock, since my last coverage?

But how did GameStop&#39;s management achieve this?</p><p>Well, as we can see from an excerpt from GME&#39;s income statement below, the cost of sales has decreased. The cost of sales is normally the direct cost associated with the goods sold. But most of the cost decline was due to a plunge in the company&#39;s general and administrative costs.</p><p>The declining cost of sales, as well as lower general and administrative costs, can be attributed to the company closing a substantial number of its stores.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/8b65d2f97118facec05c1668e5ac3d43\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"555\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha</p><p>GameStop ended 2023 with 2,915 operational locations in the US, a decline of 34 stores compared to the 2,949 it had operated a year earlier. As concerns to its operations abroad, GME shut down 210 international stores, decreasing their count from 1,464 to 1,254. The closure of unprofitable stores, however, did not only lead to a drop in costs but also to a decrease in sales revenues.</p><p>For the 4Q 2023 fiscal year, GameStop reported sales of $1.79 billion. This was a drop of 19.4% versus $2.23 billion for the same period of the 2022 fiscal year. This weakness, however, affected all of GameStop&#39;s departments. Hardware and accessories sales, for example, decreased from $1.24 billion to $1.09 billion. Software sales dropped even more, declining by 30.6% from $670.4 million to $465.3 million. Collectibles sales, meanwhile, decreased from $313.2 million to $233.7 million.</p><p>The most worrying fact is that the 4Q of 2023 included the holiday season, when many people rushed to buy Christmas presents. Video games sales should have also increased during this time period. So, this should have pushed GameStop&#39;s revenues up rather than down.</p><p>Interestingly, total video game sales in the US reached $57.2 billion in 2023, a rise from $56.6 billion in 2022. Video game content spending increased to $48.0 billion in 2023 compared to $47.5 billion for the previous year, thanks to a 13% rise in digital download spending across console platforms and an 11% rise in digital premium download segments on PC, cloud and non-console VR platforms. Hardware sales remained almost unchanged at $6.6 billion, and accessory sales increased by 4% ($2.6 billion versus $2.5 billion). But GameStop&#39;s sales have decreased for the same time period, despite the fact the industry did well, which should be worrying for GameStop&#39;s investors.</p><h2 id=\"id_1914250565\">GameStop&#39;s financial fundamentals</h2><table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Indicator’s name</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>GameStop’s indicator</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Average indicator for the US (based on FullRatio&#39;s data)</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Current ratio</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>2,11</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>1,5 - 3,0</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Debt/equity ratio</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>1,02</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>0,8</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>ROE</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>0,5%</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>13,84%</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Cash flow from operations/Total debt</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>(0,15)</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>1 or above</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><em>Source: Prepared by the author based on Seeking Alpha&#39;s and FullRatio&#39;s data</em></p><p>Overall, we can say that most of GameStop&#39;s key financial indicators are in line with US averages. Moreover, GameStop&#39;s net debt (total liabilities—cash and equivalents) is just $448.7 million, quite low for a company with annual sales of $5272.8 million. As many contributors here on Seeking Alpha pointed out, the company has ample amounts of cash. According to the last annual report, its cash and cash equivalents were $921.7 million, quite reasonable but a decline from $1271 million in 2021 and $1139 million in 2022.</p><p>The most problematic indicators of GME are its profitability metrics, including its return on equity (ROE), which is extremely low thanks to GME&#39;s net profit of $6.7 million. Its cash flow from operations was also low. As I have mentioned above, that is because of the company&#39;s falling sales. Even the cost cuts did not help.</p><h2 id=\"id_2494087135\">GME valuations</h2><p>GameStop is not undervalued right now, either.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/79295f171891fe4c50db0a429df91725\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"439\"/></p><p>Data by YCharts</p><p>Obviously, the profitability margins signal just that. For example, GME&#39;s price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is extremely high. However, this is explainable because GME has recorded its first profit, albeit very low, in several years&#39; time.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/6513b3b9905e2bb6ca0890e853f4f6d3\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"439\"/></p><p>Data by YCharts</p><p>But other metrics, including the EV-to-EBITDA and price-to-free cash flow ratios, signal just that. Some businesses face high depreciation and amortization expenses. Some businesses are forced to service very high levels of debt. That is why such companies have low or even negative profit margins. But this is not the case with GME. It simply does not get enough money from sales. So, its EBITDA and free cash flows are also low.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/44da11169e8daa2226564533b2e1d439\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"439\"/></p><p>Data by YCharts</p><p>Finally, GameStop&#39;s price-to-book (P/B) ratio is quite high as well. The average P/B of S&amp;P 500 companies is equivalent to 4,312. Among the S&amp;P 500 companies are overvalued high-tech corporations and very profitable businesses. So, it is a high indicator for a company like GameStop.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/28b978fd8291cddbdcd7b09b6f0f501b\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"439\"/></p><p>Data by YCharts</p><p>Although GME is trading below the levels seen a month or so ago, the stock is still not undervalued according to the key valuation ratios.</p><h2 id=\"id_2386966737\">Risks to my thesis</h2><p>I do not personally see many objective reasons for the stock&#39;s justified rally. Of course, there is a <em>possibility</em> for the management to structurally reform the business. However, GameStop has been recording falling sales for many years already. And there was time for the management to change this brick-and-mortar game seller to a more innovative company. But not much has been done, indeed.</p><p>On the positive side, I can add that the company got &#34;leaner and fitter&#34; by cutting the cost of sales and general and administrative costs. GME also has a lot of cash and quite a low net debt. But the company&#39;s sales have been falling for a while. So, the positive effect was quite limited. If the sales keep falling further, the cash reserves will eventually be over.</p><p>The biggest bullish factor for GME is market speculation, something that happened a month ago or in January 2021. However, such a speculative stock price surge is impossible to predict.</p><h2 id=\"id_2499721499\">Conclusion</h2><p>Although GameStop has managed to cut its costs, its sales are not doing well.

The company's fundamentals, however, are as poor as they used to be a month ago. This is an update of my earlier work on GameStop following GME stock's miraculous rally. I will explain why buying the stock immediately after this rally would be pure speculation and why the company's stock fundamentals are poor.Recap of my previous GME analysisIn my previous analysis, I covered GameStop's earnings. The analysis was published on 7 September 2023 and covered 2Q 2023 earnings. At the time, GameStop's quarterly earnings showed a decrease in net loss and a slight fall in revenues. I also pointed to the company's poor sales and profit histories. GME stock was not undervalued at the time and carried substantial downside risks. At the time, I also said there was potential for strategic changes or market speculation. No strategic changes have happened to the business so far. However, the recent market speculation had absolutely no fundamental factors behind it. Right now, the stock price is off its highs. And it is quite close to the levels seen when my September article about GameStop was published. One GME share was worth $18.89.GME rallyGameStop (GME) skyrocketed from less than $15 per share to $50 a share, reaching levels unseen since August 2022. The stock price surged after Keith Gill, the trader at the center of the meme-stock craze, made a post in social media.Data by YChartsGameStop’s (GME) share price had surged almost threefold from the end of April through mid-May.Shares of the video-game seller soared after Keith Gill's TheRoaringKitty account tweeted for the first time in almost three years. About three years ago, Gill posted an analysis of GameStop as an undervalued company. This post was said to provoke GameStop’s (GME) rally and also a massive short-squeeze, making hedge funds record losses in January 2021.But what has happened to the company itself, not its stock, since my last coverage? Let me explain here.GameStop's fundamentalsFirst, let us talk about the company's earnings results recorded since my last coverage.Overall, we can safely say that the company's results have improved since then. This is both true of its quarterly sales and net income.The data is given in USD millions.GameStop's quarterly revenues and net incomeSeeking AlphaPrepared by the author based on Seeking Alpha's dataPrepared by the author based on Seeking Alpha's dataHowever, if we look at the company's annual sales and net profit histories, we can see that the revenues reported in February 2024 have declined somewhat compared to the same period a year ago.The data is given in USD millions.January 2023February 2024Revenues5927,25272,8Net income-313,16,7Source: Prepared by the author based on Seeking Alpha's dataAt the same time, the net loss has declined over the same period. In fact, the company even managed to record a positive net result of $6.7 million.Prepared by the author based on Seeking Alpha's dataPrepared by the author based on Seeking Alpha's dataThis means that the company's efficiency has increased. But how did GameStop's management achieve this?Well, as we can see from an excerpt from GME's income statement below, the cost of sales has decreased. The cost of sales is normally the direct cost associated with the goods sold. But most of the cost decline was due to a plunge in the company's general and administrative costs.The declining cost of sales, as well as lower general and administrative costs, can be attributed to the company closing a substantial number of its stores.Seeking AlphaGameStop ended 2023 with 2,915 operational locations in the US, a decline of 34 stores compared to the 2,949 it had operated a year earlier. As concerns to its operations abroad, GME shut down 210 international stores, decreasing their count from 1,464 to 1,254. The closure of unprofitable stores, however, did not only lead to a drop in costs but also to a decrease in sales revenues.For the 4Q 2023 fiscal year, GameStop reported sales of $1.79 billion. This was a drop of 19.4% versus $2.23 billion for the same period of the 2022 fiscal year. This weakness, however, affected all of GameStop's departments. Hardware and accessories sales, for example, decreased from $1.24 billion to $1.09 billion. Software sales dropped even more, declining by 30.6% from $670.4 million to $465.3 million. Collectibles sales, meanwhile, decreased from $313.2 million to $233.7 million.The most worrying fact is that the 4Q of 2023 included the holiday season, when many people rushed to buy Christmas presents. Video games sales should have also increased during this time period. So, this should have pushed GameStop's revenues up rather than down.Interestingly, total video game sales in the US reached $57.2 billion in 2023, a rise from $56.6 billion in 2022. Video game content spending increased to $48.0 billion in 2023 compared to $47.5 billion for the previous year, thanks to a 13% rise in digital download spending across console platforms and an 11% rise in digital premium download segments on PC, cloud and non-console VR platforms. Hardware sales remained almost unchanged at $6.6 billion, and accessory sales increased by 4% ($2.6 billion versus $2.5 billion). But GameStop's sales have decreased for the same time period, despite the fact the industry did well, which should be worrying for GameStop's investors.GameStop's financial fundamentalsIndicator’s nameGameStop’s indicatorAverage indicator for the US (based on FullRatio's data)Current ratio2,111,5 - 3,0Debt/equity ratio1,020,8ROE0,5%13,84%Cash flow from operations/Total debt(0,15)1 or aboveSource: Prepared by the author based on Seeking Alpha's and FullRatio's dataOverall, we can say that most of GameStop's key financial indicators are in line with US averages. Moreover, GameStop's net debt (total liabilities—cash and equivalents) is just $448.7 million, quite low for a company with annual sales of $5272.8 million. As many contributors here on Seeking Alpha pointed out, the company has ample amounts of cash. According to the last annual report, its cash and cash equivalents were $921.7 million, quite reasonable but a decline from $1271 million in 2021 and $1139 million in 2022.The most problematic indicators of GME are its profitability metrics, including its return on equity (ROE), which is extremely low thanks to GME's net profit of $6.7 million. Its cash flow from operations was also low. As I have mentioned above, that is because of the company's falling sales. Even the cost cuts did not help.GME valuationsGameStop is not undervalued right now, either.Data by YChartsObviously, the profitability margins signal just that. For example, GME's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is extremely high. However, this is explainable because GME has recorded its first profit, albeit very low, in several years' time.Data by YChartsBut other metrics, including the EV-to-EBITDA and price-to-free cash flow ratios, signal just that. Some businesses face high depreciation and amortization expenses. Some businesses are forced to service very high levels of debt. That is why such companies have low or even negative profit margins. But this is not the case with GME. It simply does not get enough money from sales. So, its EBITDA and free cash flows are also low.Data by YChartsFinally, GameStop's price-to-book (P/B) ratio is quite high as well. The average P/B of S&P 500 companies is equivalent to 4,312. Among the S&P 500 companies are overvalued high-tech corporations and very profitable businesses. So, it is a high indicator for a company like GameStop.Data by YChartsAlthough GME is trading below the levels seen a month or so ago, the stock is still not undervalued according to the key valuation ratios.Risks to my thesisI do not personally see many objective reasons for the stock's justified rally. Of course, there is a possibility for the management to structurally reform the business. However, GameStop has been recording falling sales for many years already. And there was time for the management to change this brick-and-mortar game seller to a more innovative company. But not much has been done, indeed.On the positive side, I can add that the company got \"leaner and fitter\" by cutting the cost of sales and general and administrative costs. GME also has a lot of cash and quite a low net debt. But the company's sales have been falling for a while. So, the positive effect was quite limited. If the sales keep falling further, the cash reserves will eventually be over.The biggest bullish factor for GME is market speculation, something that happened a month ago or in January 2021. However, such a speculative stock price surge is impossible to predict.ConclusionAlthough GameStop has managed to cut its costs, its sales are not doing well. In spite of the not-so-easy situation for the business, the company's stock is quite expensive, according to the ratio analysis. The effect from the recent rally is not quite over. It is possible that the stock will eventually surge in value. But I do not personally see many fundamental reasons for the stock's appreciation. My rating remains unchanged. It is \"Hold'.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":253,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":322298496491712,"gmtCreate":1719716523050,"gmtModify":1719717890212,"author":{"id":"3575853696180451","authorId":"3575853696180451","name":"PY07","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d210b362dee2c0853a42002ab27c8017","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575853696180451","authorIdStr":"3575853696180451"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sell before the announcement ?","listText":"Sell before the announcement ?","text":"Sell before the announcement ?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/322298496491712","repostId":"1119622885","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1119622885","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1719703930,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1119622885?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-06-30 07:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Weekly Hottest Sector | Tesla Rises 8% Ahead of Crucial Q2 Deliveries; Rivian Reports a Weekly Gain of 30%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1119622885","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Electric-vehicle shares finished the week on a mixed note, with market leader $Tesla$ rising over 8% ahead of crucial Q2 deliveries.

Shares of Rivian reported a weekly gain of 30% after the company announced a joint venture partnership with German legacy automaker Volkswagen AG.Here are the key events that happened in the EV space during the week:Can Tesla Clear Lowered Bar? Tesla investors will be on pins and needles, as the company prepares to release its second-quarter deliveries, most likely on Tuesday. Future Fund’s Gary Black said he sees a decent chance of upside surprise given the muted expectations. He noted that the consensus calls for a 6% year-over-year decline in deliveries to 440,000 units, while whisper numbers are around 420,000 units.The fund manager attributed his positive expectations to recently strong weekly registrations data in China and the last two days of the quarter being over the weekend, which offer an opportunity to pull in deliveries.RBC Capital Markets analysts this week reduced their deliveries estimate from 533,000 units to 410,000 units, basing their prediction on the analysis of vehicle registration data and Tesla app downloads. Wedbush’s Daniel Ives believes the company may have seen a “mini rebound” in 2Q which should help it come close to the Street’s estimate. The focus going forward will likely be on a second-half unit recovery, price stabilization, China growth, and a “historic Robotaxi Day” scheduled for Aug. 8.Rivian Stock Takes Off On Financing Deal: Shares of Rivian reported a weekly gain of 30% after the company announced a joint venture partnership with German legacy automaker Volkswagen AG.

The analysis was published on 7 September 2023 and covered 2Q 2023 earnings. At the time, GameStop&#39;s quarterly earnings showed a decrease in net loss and a slight fall in revenues. I also pointed to the company&#39;s poor sales and profit histories. GME stock was not undervalued at the time and carried substantial downside risks. At the time, I also said there was potential for strategic changes or market speculation. No strategic changes have happened to the business so far. However, the recent market speculation had absolutely no fundamental factors behind it. Right now, the stock price is off its highs. And it is quite close to the levels seen when my September article about GameStop was published. One GME share was worth $18.89.</p><h2 id=\"id_3651835170\">GME rally</h2><p>GameStop (GME) skyrocketed from less than $15 per share to $50 a share, reaching levels unseen since August 2022.

The cost of sales is normally the direct cost associated with the goods sold. But most of the cost decline was due to a plunge in the company&#39;s general and administrative costs.</p><p>The declining cost of sales, as well as lower general and administrative costs, can be attributed to the company closing a substantial number of its stores.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/8b65d2f97118facec05c1668e5ac3d43\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"555\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha</p><p>GameStop ended 2023 with 2,915 operational locations in the US, a decline of 34 stores compared to the 2,949 it had operated a year earlier. As concerns to its operations abroad, GME shut down 210 international stores, decreasing their count from 1,464 to 1,254. The closure of unprofitable stores, however, did not only lead to a drop in costs but also to a decrease in sales revenues.</p><p>For the 4Q 2023 fiscal year, GameStop reported sales of $1.79 billion. This was a drop of 19.4% versus $2.23 billion for the same period of the 2022 fiscal year. This weakness, however, affected all of GameStop&#39;s departments. Hardware and accessories sales, for example, decreased from $1.24 billion to $1.09 billion. Software sales dropped even more, declining by 30.6% from $670.4 million to $465.3 million. Collectibles sales, meanwhile, decreased from $313.2 million to $233.7 million.</p><p>The most worrying fact is that the 4Q of 2023 included the holiday season, when many people rushed to buy Christmas presents. Video games sales should have also increased during this time period. So, this should have pushed GameStop&#39;s revenues up rather than down.</p><p>Interestingly, total video game sales in the US reached $57.2 billion in 2023, a rise from $56.6 billion in 2022. Video game content spending increased to $48.0 billion in 2023 compared to $47.5 billion for the previous year, thanks to a 13% rise in digital download spending across console platforms and an 11% rise in digital premium download segments on PC, cloud and non-console VR platforms. Hardware sales remained almost unchanged at $6.6 billion, and accessory sales increased by 4% ($2.6 billion versus $2.5 billion). But GameStop&#39;s sales have decreased for the same time period, despite the fact the industry did well, which should be worrying for GameStop&#39;s investors.</p><h2 id=\"id_1914250565\">GameStop&#39;s financial fundamentals</h2><table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Indicator’s name</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>GameStop’s indicator</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Average indicator for the US (based on FullRatio&#39;s data)</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Current ratio</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>2,11</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>1,5 - 3,0</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Debt/equity ratio</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>1,02</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>0,8</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>ROE</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>0,5%</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>13,84%</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Cash flow from operations/Total debt</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>(0,15)</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>1 or above</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><em>Source: Prepared by the author based on Seeking Alpha&#39;s and FullRatio&#39;s data</em></p><p>Overall, we can say that most of GameStop&#39;s key financial indicators are in line with US averages. Moreover, GameStop&#39;s net debt (total liabilities—cash and equivalents) is just $448.7 million, quite low for a company with annual sales of $5272.8 million. As many contributors here on Seeking Alpha pointed out, the company has ample amounts of cash. According to the last annual report, its cash and cash equivalents were $921.7 million, quite reasonable but a decline from $1271 million in 2021 and $1139 million in 2022.</p><p>The most problematic indicators of GME are its profitability metrics, including its return on equity (ROE), which is extremely low thanks to GME&#39;s net profit of $6.7 million. Its cash flow from operations was also low. As I have mentioned above, that is because of the company&#39;s falling sales. Even the cost cuts did not help.</p><h2 id=\"id_2494087135\">GME valuations</h2><p>GameStop is not undervalued right now, either.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/79295f171891fe4c50db0a429df91725\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"439\"/></p><p>Data by YCharts</p><p>Obviously, the profitability margins signal just that. For example, GME&#39;s price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is extremely high. However, this is explainable because GME has recorded its first profit, albeit very low, in several years&#39; time.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/6513b3b9905e2bb6ca0890e853f4f6d3\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"439\"/></p><p>Data by YCharts</p><p>But other metrics, including the EV-to-EBITDA and price-to-free cash flow ratios, signal just that. Some businesses face high depreciation and amortization expenses. Some businesses are forced to service very high levels of debt. That is why such companies have low or even negative profit margins. But this is not the case with GME. It simply does not get enough money from sales. So, its EBITDA and free cash flows are also low.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/44da11169e8daa2226564533b2e1d439\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"439\"/></p><p>Data by YCharts</p><p>Finally, GameStop&#39;s price-to-book (P/B) ratio is quite high as well. The average P/B of S&amp;P 500 companies is equivalent to 4,312. Among the S&amp;P 500 companies are overvalued high-tech corporations and very profitable businesses. So, it is a high indicator for a company like GameStop.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/28b978fd8291cddbdcd7b09b6f0f501b\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"439\"/></p><p>Data by YCharts</p><p>Although GME is trading below the levels seen a month or so ago, the stock is still not undervalued according to the key valuation ratios.</p><h2 id=\"id_2386966737\">Risks to my thesis</h2><p>I do not personally see many objective reasons for the stock&#39;s justified rally. Of course, there is a <em>possibility</em> for the management to structurally reform the business. However, GameStop has been recording falling sales for many years already. And there was time for the management to change this brick-and-mortar game seller to a more innovative company. But not much has been done, indeed.</p><p>On the positive side, I can add that the company got &#34;leaner and fitter&#34; by cutting the cost of sales and general and administrative costs. GME also has a lot of cash and quite a low net debt. But the company&#39;s sales have been falling for a while. So, the positive effect was quite limited. If the sales keep falling further, the cash reserves will eventually be over.</p><p>The biggest bullish factor for GME is market speculation, something that happened a month ago or in January 2021. However, such a speculative stock price surge is impossible to predict.</p><h2 id=\"id_2499721499\">Conclusion</h2><p>Although GameStop has managed to cut its costs, its sales are not doing well. In spite of the not-so-easy situation for the business, the company&#39;s stock is quite expensive, according to the ratio analysis. The effect from the recent rally is not quite over. It is possible that the stock will eventually surge in value. But I do not personally see many fundamental reasons for the stock&#39;s appreciation. My rating remains unchanged. It is &#34;Hold&#39;.</p></body></html>","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>GameStop Stock: No Fundamentals Behind The Recent Rally</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nGameStop Stock: No Fundamentals Behind The Recent Rally\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2024-06-01 14:46 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4696739-gamestop-stock-no-fundamentals-behind-the-recent-rally><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>GameStop stock has rallied but its fundamentals remain poor.The recent rally was driven by market speculation, not fundamental factors.GameStop's sales have been declining and its profitability ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4696739-gamestop-stock-no-fundamentals-behind-the-recent-rally\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BK4547":"WSB热门概念","BK4585":"ETF&股票定投概念","BK4588":"碎股","BK4076":"电脑与电子产品零售","GME":"游戏驿站","BK4577":"网络游戏"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4696739-gamestop-stock-no-fundamentals-behind-the-recent-rally","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2439154489","content_text":"GameStop stock has rallied but its fundamentals remain poor.The recent rally was driven by market speculation, not fundamental factors.GameStop's sales have been declining and its profitability metrics are low.jetcityimageGameStop (NYSE:GME) stock has rallied incredibly the past month.

GME also has a lot of cash and quite a low net debt. But the company's sales have been falling for a while. So, the positive effect was quite limited. If the sales keep falling further, the cash reserves will eventually be over.The biggest bullish factor for GME is market speculation, something that happened a month ago or in January 2021. However, such a speculative stock price surge is impossible to predict.ConclusionAlthough GameStop has managed to cut its costs, its sales are not doing well. In spite of the not-so-easy situation for the business, the company's stock is quite expensive, according to the ratio analysis. The effect from the recent rally is not quite over. It is possible that the stock will eventually surge in value. But I do not personally see many fundamental reasons for the stock's appreciation. My rating remains unchanged. It is \"Hold'.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":253,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":338805573124488,"gmtCreate":1723720343621,"gmtModify":1723720347791,"author":{"id":"3575853696180451","authorId":"3575853696180451","name":"PY07","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d210b362dee2c0853a42002ab27c8017","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575853696180451","authorIdStr":"3575853696180451"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"With incoming earnings, either a hit or miss.

The key to maintaining its position will lie in quality assurance processes while maintaining customer trust through transparent communication, highlighting a robust response to the glitch. It will also be essential to continue investing in marketing to reshape public perception and innovate on the Falcon platform.</p><p>CrowdStrike must set a path for the future through strategic partnerships or acquisitions that improve service offerings and enter new markets. The setback will allow the company to maintain its competitive position if the lessons are used to strengthen resilience, enhance technological capacity, and deepen customer relations.</p><h2 id=\"id_1697650658\">CRWD Nears Oversold Territory with $320 Price Target for 2024</h2><p>CRWD currently trades at $256.16, being on a downward trajectory. Our average price target stands at $320 for 2024. while the optimistic target is $365 and the pessimistic target is $175. These targets are derived from short-term trends projected over Fibonacci levels (1.618, 0.5, and 4.618).</p><p>The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 37.24, indicating a potential <strong>oversold</strong> <strong>condition</strong> and is moving towards it. However, there is no bullish or bearish divergence, and the downward RSI trend suggests continued weakness. A long setup may emerge at an RSI of near 30, indicating a <strong>possible reversal point</strong>.</p><p>The Volume Price Trend (VPT) is also trending downwards, currently at 42.28 million. The VPT line is below the annual moving average of 62.15 million. This suggests weakening momentum, but a bottom touchdown of around 40 million could create a price reversal move.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/4bd23c8e0cda6b3357bb28c898223dfb\" alt=\"Author (trendspider.com)\" title=\"Author (trendspider.com)\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"700\"/><span>Author (trendspider.com)</span></p><p>Seasonality analysis indicates an 83% chance of positive returns if invested in July, based on a 5-year monthly pattern. This high probability, combined with potential reversals in RSI and VPT, marks that a strategic <strong>entry</strong> <strong>point</strong> might be near if the stock hits <strong>oversold</strong> <strong>conditions</strong>.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/f3f05009a035b146844141ea151c522c\" alt=\"trendspider.com\" title=\"trendspider.com\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"676\"/><span>trendspider.com</span></p><h2 id=\"id_2247107572\">CrowdStrike Outage Sparks Major Cybersecurity Overhaul</h2><p>On July 19, 2024, CrowdStrike ran a faulty software update that caused a global outage. The update induced the &#39;Blue Screen of Death&#39; on 8.5 million devices running on Windows, thus paralyzing critical sectors like aviation, healthcare, banking, and government services.</p><p>Though less than 1% of Windows devices were hit, the impact was very strong due to CrowdStrike&#39;s vital role in such sectors. Flights were canceled, medical procedures were delayed, and many other societal systems were disrupted. Identifying the problem through CrowdStrike and providing proactive recommendations to reduce the impact underscore our expertise and proactive approach to cyber issues.</p><p>Moving forward, CrowdStrike is on course to avoid such instances by implementing more aggressive testing of software updates and developing additional communication strategies to help identify potential problems earlier. Shareholders should expect the company to double its efforts toward resilience and transparency easily-the result should be the restoration of faith that it can ultimately protect vital infrastructure.</p><p>This incident again highlighted the paramount importance of investing in cybersecurity and the need for perpetually increasing digital defenses. Thus, by addressing the ethical dilemmas related to privacy and national security and promoting cybersecurity best practices, CrowdStrike can contribute to a more secure and resilient digital ecosystem, benefiting its clients and stakeholders.</p><h2 id=\"id_2322173140\">A Path to Resilience and Recovery</h2><p>CEO George Kurtz has been brought in by the US House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee to be questioned-an indication of how grave the case is. The insured losses for the said event were pegged at $540 million and $1.08 billion for only the companies in the Fortune 500 category. In comparison, worldwide financial losses have been estimated to be around $15 billion. On the other hand, CrowdStrike&#39;s quick and transparent reflexes, supplemented by a robust post-incident strategy, prove that the company can indeed bounce back from an unprecedented mistake.</p><p>Further, CrowdStrike&#39;s proactive work engaging regulators and affected parties to participate in remediation efforts demonstrates a commitment to solving the problem. This minimizes long-term financial impact and may establish a strong base for future negotiations and settlements.

The key to maintaining its position will lie in quality assurance processes while maintaining customer trust through transparent communication, highlighting a robust response to the glitch. It will also be essential to continue investing in marketing to reshape public perception and innovate on the Falcon platform.CrowdStrike must set a path for the future through strategic partnerships or acquisitions that improve service offerings and enter new markets. The setback will allow the company to maintain its competitive position if the lessons are used to strengthen resilience, enhance technological capacity, and deepen customer relations.CRWD Nears Oversold Territory with $320 Price Target for 2024CRWD currently trades at $256.16, being on a downward trajectory. Our average price target stands at $320 for 2024. while the optimistic target is $365 and the pessimistic target is $175. These targets are derived from short-term trends projected over Fibonacci levels (1.618, 0.5, and 4.618).The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 37.24, indicating a potential oversold condition and is moving towards it. However, there is no bullish or bearish divergence, and the downward RSI trend suggests continued weakness. A long setup may emerge at an RSI of near 30, indicating a possible reversal point.The Volume Price Trend (VPT) is also trending downwards, currently at 42.28 million. The VPT line is below the annual moving average of 62.15 million. This suggests weakening momentum, but a bottom touchdown of around 40 million could create a price reversal move.Author (trendspider.com)Seasonality analysis indicates an 83% chance of positive returns if invested in July, based on a 5-year monthly pattern. This high probability, combined with potential reversals in RSI and VPT, marks that a strategic entry point might be near if the stock hits oversold conditions.trendspider.comCrowdStrike Outage Sparks Major Cybersecurity OverhaulOn July 19, 2024, CrowdStrike ran a faulty software update that caused a global outage. The update induced the 'Blue Screen of Death' on 8.5 million devices running on Windows, thus paralyzing critical sectors like aviation, healthcare, banking, and government services.Though less than 1% of Windows devices were hit, the impact was very strong due to CrowdStrike's vital role in such sectors. Flights were canceled, medical procedures were delayed, and many other societal systems were disrupted. Identifying the problem through CrowdStrike and providing proactive recommendations to reduce the impact underscore our expertise and proactive approach to cyber issues.Moving forward, CrowdStrike is on course to avoid such instances by implementing more aggressive testing of software updates and developing additional communication strategies to help identify potential problems earlier. Shareholders should expect the company to double its efforts toward resilience and transparency easily-the result should be the restoration of faith that it can ultimately protect vital infrastructure.This incident again highlighted the paramount importance of investing in cybersecurity and the need for perpetually increasing digital defenses. Thus, by addressing the ethical dilemmas related to privacy and national security and promoting cybersecurity best practices, CrowdStrike can contribute to a more secure and resilient digital ecosystem, benefiting its clients and stakeholders.A Path to Resilience and RecoveryCEO George Kurtz has been brought in by the US House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee to be questioned-an indication of how grave the case is. The insured losses for the said event were pegged at $540 million and $1.08 billion for only the companies in the Fortune 500 category. In comparison, worldwide financial losses have been estimated to be around $15 billion. On the other hand, CrowdStrike's quick and transparent reflexes, supplemented by a robust post-incident strategy, prove that the company can indeed bounce back from an unprecedented mistake.Further, CrowdStrike's proactive work engaging regulators and affected parties to participate in remediation efforts demonstrates a commitment to solving the problem. This minimizes long-term financial impact and may establish a strong base for future negotiations and settlements. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency warned that malicious activities continued by taking advantage of the outage.The recent outage caused by CrowdStrike's software update has raised concerns about customer retention. While some customers may explore alternative solutions, the company's rapid response and commitment to improving its systems can help mitigate long-term customer attrition.Finally, analysts predict that around 5% of CrowdStrike's customer base might consider switching to competitors. However, CrowdStrike's market-leading position and difficulty immediately cutting ties due to existing contracts suggest that the overall impact might be contained.How CrowdStrike's Response to Challenges Fortifies Its Market LeadershipWhile some customers may seek a different relationship with CrowdStrike, the company's comprehensive response plan will likely provide existing clients with additional reassurance and contingency plans. Furthermore, the increasing demand for cybersecurity in critical sectors will continue to drive the need for cutting-edge solutions like those offered by CrowdStrike.Ultimately, the incident may strengthen the company's market position regarding its ability to adapt and improve services. While certain challenges arise from the recent outage, CrowdStrike's proactive measures, strong market position, and commitment to innovation set a positive tone for recovery and growth. The investors shall consider the company's resilience and strategic adjustments while judging the prospect of this firm in the future.According to CrowdStrike's latest 10-K filing, the company has maintained a very diversified customer base; hence, it carries low customer concentration risk, enhancing its position to sustain any potential upcoming losses. Specifically, no one customer or channel partner accounted for 10% or more of the company's consolidated revenue or accounts receivable in either of the fiscal years ending January 31, 2024. Lastly, CrowdStrike controls 17.7% of the endpoint protection market, surpassing Microsoft's 16.4%.

The company is still generating exponential revenue growth and increasing EPS. However, the stock price suggests that concerns about SMCI&#39;s accounting inaccuracy overshadow robust business expansion.</p><p>I am not happy that the stock plunged by 63% since my August bullish call, as I have skin in the game. I have been buying aggressively since the stock started tanking in late August, meaning that I have a substantial SMCI position. I also worry about the recent auditor resignation and there is a lot of uncertainty in the FY2024 10-K report release timing. Yet, the stock is so cheap that it provides an excellent opportunity to double down. The preliminary earnings for the latest quarter were released a week ago. It is very hard to imagine that the management would risk presenting an unfair view of SMCI&#39;s financial performance, given the panic around the stock and the reported DOJ investigation.</p><p>The deeply low 14-day RSI reading shows how very spooked the market is over SMCI. This makes me greedy. I tend to believe that allegations of accounting manipulations are exaggerated. Therefore, I still consider SMCI a &#39;Strong Buy&#39;.</p><h2 id=\"id_3077953962\">Fundamental analysis</h2><p>SMCI has recently encountered several significant reputational challenges. This began with a late-August opinions from some analysts that questioned the trustworthiness of SMCI&#39;s financial statements and the management&#39;s integrity. The company then failed to file its 10-K report on time, and there are reports of a DOJ investigation regarding allegations around accounting manipulations. As a result of all these adverse events, the stock price decreased by more than 60% since late August.</p><p>The company has recently released its FQ1 2025 preliminary results and FQ2 2025 guidance, with robust revenue and EPS growth. I tend to trust in the accuracy of this release, despite the aforementioned allegations. There are two big reasons for such confidence.</p><p>The first is that it is hard to imagine that a company under public pressure and scrutiny would manipulate its financials. Second, no major semiconductor companies have separated from SMCI and continue to call SMCI their partner. It has been rumored that Nvidia is taking orders away from SMCI, but I tend to go with what the companies say on their website.</p><p>On October 15, Nvidia announced a new partnership with SMCI. The expanded collaboration highlights the integration of Nvidia&#39;s BlueField data processing unit (&#39;DPU&#39;) into SMCI&#39;s storage solutions. This factor highlights Nvidia&#39;s confidence in SMCI&#39;s trustworthiness. Furthermore, a presentation endorsing SMCI is still available on AMD&#39;s official website. I might be missing something, but Nvidia and AMD appear to be companies with flawless reputations. Thus, it is highly unlikely that Jensen Huang or Lisa Su would risk their reputations by supporting collaboration with a company with questionable integrity or operational practices. There is also a separate page on Intel&#39;s website dedicated to endorse SMCI&#39;s offerings.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/e915ca85bac0b07cb94d9f717e09bebb\" alt=\"SA\" title=\"SA\" tg-width=\"617\" tg-height=\"311\"/><span>SA</span></p><p></p><p>Therefore, I consider the preliminary earnings announcement as trustworthy. According to preliminary results, revenue for FQ1 ranged from $5.9 billion to $6 billion, representing an 181% year-over-year increase. The growth was primarily driven by strong demand for AI GPU platforms. SMCI&#39;s non-GAAP gross margin has improved quarter-over-quarter from 11.3% to 13.3%. The profitability expansion was powered by favorable shifts in the product and customer mix.</p><p>The FQ2 guidance also looks robust, with the projected range from $5.5 billion to $6.1 billion. The $5.8 billion midpoint level is 58% higher compared to the same quarter of FY2024. The guidance fell short of Wall Street expectations, but this looks explainable, as the management cites low Blackwell GPU availability due to high demand. So, the problem looks temporary.</p><p>Secular trends are still strong as cloud giants look unwilling to cool down their data center spending spree. Amazon plans to invest another billion+ in Italian data centers and has recently bought 350 acres for data center in Becker. Google&#39;s plans to invest much more in data centers over the long term are apparent after the company announced that it is buying nuclear reactors to meet the energy demand of its current and future data centers. Microsoft also recognizes the potential for data center expansion and is already incorporating sustainable solutions to minimize its environmental footprint. Thus, the industry is thriving and evolving rapidly, providing a strong tailwind for SMCI.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c88485771692e0f540617907c77cd416\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"424\"/></p><p></p><p>The stock is significantly oversold, with its 14-day RSI indicator at a historically low level of 27. While the market seems extremely fearful about SMCI, I prefer to set emotions aside. The world&#39;s largest semiconductor companies, which undoubtedly value their reputations, continue to work closely with SMCI, suggesting that the allegations are likely overestimated. Furthermore, the company is already under significant public pressure and scrutiny, making accounting manipulations around the latest preliminary quarterly earnings release extremely unlikely.</p><h2 id=\"id_1000083254\">Valuation analysis</h2><p>As I mentioned, the stock is now significantly cheaper than it was in late August, and such a plunge is explained by fears of the market regarding accounting manipulation allegations. However, since I outlined why I believe that these fears are highly likely exaggerated, I plan to rely on long-term consensus revenue projections to build my DCF model. The zero FCF margin for the base year reflects the company&#39;s aggressive CapEx spending to address soaring demand. For the years after FY2025, I reiterate the same trajectory of the metric expanding by 200 basis points yearly. To balance out an aggressive FCF margin assumption, I use a very conservative 2% constant growth rate to calculate terminal value (&#39;TV&#39;). I use an 8% WACC to discount future cash flows.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/ad7a5df190b39226ec84be40cfeb92e3\" alt=\"Calculated by the author\" title=\"Calculated by the author\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"296\"/><span>Calculated by the author</span></p><p></p><p>The first simulation indicates a fair share price of approximately $90, which is almost four times higher compared to the current share price. Thus, fears around the stock made it extremely cheap.</p><p>The fair value estimation approaches the current share price only if unrealistically pessimistic assumptions are incorporated. The fair share price is around $23 when I apply a 1% constant growth rate and a very low 3% revenue CAGR for the next five years, with the FCF margin expanding by only 100 basis points annually.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/eac69b7345c3cdf59226b894d21ac6c7\" alt=\"Calculated by the author\" title=\"Calculated by the author\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"294\"/><span>Calculated by the author</span></p><p></p><p>With that said, I believe SMCI is very attractively valued. My target price is $90 per share, which is close to mid-summer 2024 levels, making such upside potential realistic.</p><h2 id=\"id_1906077690\">Mitigating factors</h2><p>Official communication is crucial in emergency cases threatening the image of a business, such as those experienced by SMCI over the last few months. In my opinion, the management could have handled the situation in a smoother way. As a result, it seems that the stock crash would not have been as bad. There is still no indication of when the company’s FY2024 10-K report will be published, which creates room for possible new bad-looking headlines. This might just set off another bearish market wave if the communication approach between the management and investors remains the same.</p><p>Additionally, the past precedent of delisting in 2019 due to accounting issues remains a concern.

The company is still generating exponential revenue growth and increasing EPS. However, the stock price suggests that concerns about SMCI's accounting inaccuracy overshadow robust business expansion.I am not happy that the stock plunged by 63% since my August bullish call, as I have skin in the game. I have been buying aggressively since the stock started tanking in late August, meaning that I have a substantial SMCI position. I also worry about the recent auditor resignation and there is a lot of uncertainty in the FY2024 10-K report release timing. Yet, the stock is so cheap that it provides an excellent opportunity to double down. The preliminary earnings for the latest quarter were released a week ago. It is very hard to imagine that the management would risk presenting an unfair view of SMCI's financial performance, given the panic around the stock and the reported DOJ investigation.The deeply low 14-day RSI reading shows how very spooked the market is over SMCI. This makes me greedy. I tend to believe that allegations of accounting manipulations are exaggerated. Therefore, I still consider SMCI a 'Strong Buy'.Fundamental analysisSMCI has recently encountered several significant reputational challenges. This began with a late-August opinions from some analysts that questioned the trustworthiness of SMCI's financial statements and the management's integrity. The company then failed to file its 10-K report on time, and there are reports of a DOJ investigation regarding allegations around accounting manipulations. As a result of all these adverse events, the stock price decreased by more than 60% since late August.The company has recently released its FQ1 2025 preliminary results and FQ2 2025 guidance, with robust revenue and EPS growth. I tend to trust in the accuracy of this release, despite the aforementioned allegations. There are two big reasons for such confidence.The first is that it is hard to imagine that a company under public pressure and scrutiny would manipulate its financials. Second, no major semiconductor companies have separated from SMCI and continue to call SMCI their partner. It has been rumored that Nvidia is taking orders away from SMCI, but I tend to go with what the companies say on their website.On October 15, Nvidia announced a new partnership with SMCI. The expanded collaboration highlights the integration of Nvidia's BlueField data processing unit ('DPU') into SMCI's storage solutions. This factor highlights Nvidia's confidence in SMCI's trustworthiness. Furthermore, a presentation endorsing SMCI is still available on AMD's official website. I might be missing something, but Nvidia and AMD appear to be companies with flawless reputations. Thus, it is highly unlikely that Jensen Huang or Lisa Su would risk their reputations by supporting collaboration with a company with questionable integrity or operational practices. There is also a separate page on Intel's website dedicated to endorse SMCI's offerings.SATherefore, I consider the preliminary earnings announcement as trustworthy. According to preliminary results, revenue for FQ1 ranged from $5.9 billion to $6 billion, representing an 181% year-over-year increase. The growth was primarily driven by strong demand for AI GPU platforms. SMCI's non-GAAP gross margin has improved quarter-over-quarter from 11.3% to 13.3%. The profitability expansion was powered by favorable shifts in the product and customer mix.The FQ2 guidance also looks robust, with the projected range from $5.5 billion to $6.1 billion. The $5.8 billion midpoint level is 58% higher compared to the same quarter of FY2024. The guidance fell short of Wall Street expectations, but this looks explainable, as the management cites low Blackwell GPU availability due to high demand. So, the problem looks temporary.Secular trends are still strong as cloud giants look unwilling to cool down their data center spending spree. Amazon plans to invest another billion+ in Italian data centers and has recently bought 350 acres for data center in Becker. Google's plans to invest much more in data centers over the long term are apparent after the company announced that it is buying nuclear reactors to meet the energy demand of its current and future data centers. Microsoft also recognizes the potential for data center expansion and is already incorporating sustainable solutions to minimize its environmental footprint. Thus, the industry is thriving and evolving rapidly, providing a strong tailwind for SMCI.The stock is significantly oversold, with its 14-day RSI indicator at a historically low level of 27. While the market seems extremely fearful about SMCI, I prefer to set emotions aside. The world's largest semiconductor companies, which undoubtedly value their reputations, continue to work closely with SMCI, suggesting that the allegations are likely overestimated. Furthermore, the company is already under significant public pressure and scrutiny, making accounting manipulations around the latest preliminary quarterly earnings release extremely unlikely.Valuation analysisAs I mentioned, the stock is now significantly cheaper than it was in late August, and such a plunge is explained by fears of the market regarding accounting manipulation allegations. However, since I outlined why I believe that these fears are highly likely exaggerated, I plan to rely on long-term consensus revenue projections to build my DCF model. The zero FCF margin for the base year reflects the company's aggressive CapEx spending to address soaring demand. For the years after FY2025, I reiterate the same trajectory of the metric expanding by 200 basis points yearly. To balance out an aggressive FCF margin assumption, I use a very conservative 2% constant growth rate to calculate terminal value ('TV'). I use an 8% WACC to discount future cash flows.Calculated by the authorThe first simulation indicates a fair share price of approximately $90, which is almost four times higher compared to the current share price. Thus, fears around the stock made it extremely cheap.The fair value estimation approaches the current share price only if unrealistically pessimistic assumptions are incorporated. The fair share price is around $23 when I apply a 1% constant growth rate and a very low 3% revenue CAGR for the next five years, with the FCF margin expanding by only 100 basis points annually.Calculated by the authorWith that said, I believe SMCI is very attractively valued. My target price is $90 per share, which is close to mid-summer 2024 levels, making such upside potential realistic.Mitigating factorsOfficial communication is crucial in emergency cases threatening the image of a business, such as those experienced by SMCI over the last few months. In my opinion, the management could have handled the situation in a smoother way. As a result, it seems that the stock crash would not have been as bad. There is still no indication of when the company’s FY2024 10-K report will be published, which creates room for possible new bad-looking headlines. This might just set off another bearish market wave if the communication approach between the management and investors remains the same.Additionally, the past precedent of delisting in 2019 due to accounting issues remains a concern. According to the official information from SMCI, the management is still unable to share the expected date of the 10-K filing, which increases risks of failing to comply with Nasdaq listing rules. However, I believe that the company's efforts to engage a new auditor will mitigate the risk. The completion of the Special Committee's investigation, which found no evidence of fraud or misconduct, is a positive step towards resolving this adverse situation.ConclusionAs an investor, I prefer to set emotions aside and focus on the facts. A company that has faces intense public scrutiny is almost certainly not going to play along with its accounting books. This factor makes the recent preliminary FQ1 2025 earnings release is a reliable informational tool. I am also extremely skeptical that Nvidia, AMD, or Intel would continue supporting SMCI as a crucial technological partner if there was really something wrong with it.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":335371181715624,"gmtCreate":1722907572965,"gmtModify":1722907576438,"author":{"id":"3575853696180451","authorId":"3575853696180451","name":"PY07","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d210b362dee2c0853a42002ab27c8017","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575853696180451","authorIdStr":"3575853696180451"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"How about some new news?","listText":"How about some new news?","text":"How about some new news?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/335371181715624","repostId":"1154406330","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1154406330","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1722906584,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1154406330?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-08-06 09:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nvidia's Huang Sold $323 Million of Stock in July Before Decline","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1154406330","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang continued his summer of selling, offloading a record $322.7 million worth of shares in July just ahead of a wider tech stock selloff.Combined with the shares he unloaded in","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang continued his summer of selling, offloading a record $322.7 million worth of shares in July just ahead of a wider tech stock selloff.</p><p>Combined with the shares he unloaded in June, the chipmaker’s co-founder and chief executive officer has sold almost $500 million worth since the stock hit its peak amid an AI-fueled rally.</p><p>While the June and July sales were executed under a 10b5-1 trading plan adopted in March, the timing proved fortunate.

are never going to actually work right” and that they “will take up too much energy or will prove to be untrustworthy.”The chipmaker stocks have suffered some losses due to concerns about heavy -- tens of billions of dollars -- AI spending for infrastructure.Nvidia Corp. is down 4.8% today so far, after a 110% year-to-date gain. The stock is also down 9.23% from a month ago. Nvidia briefly became the world's largest company with a market cap of more than $3.3T.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":167,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":333371247706232,"gmtCreate":1722431824360,"gmtModify":1722431829602,"author":{"id":"3575853696180451","authorId":"3575853696180451","name":"PY07","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/d210b362dee2c0853a42002ab27c8017","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575853696180451","authorIdStr":"3575853696180451"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/CRWD\">$CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.(CRWD)$</a>&nbsp; See you at $150.
