Firm readings for February and March (even if not quite as hot as January) punctured that optimism. They raise the prospect that inflation might settle out closer to 3%. The Fed targets 2% inflation over time.</p><p>Powell is likely to repeat a message he delivered two weeks ago, when he said recent data had "clearly not given us greater confidence" that inflation would continue declining to 2% "and instead indicate that it's likely to take longer than expected to achieve that."</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/58ac79df25e9e0cc51876a3d5a5ba665\" tg-width=\"622\" tg-height=\"524\"/></p><p>The focus at this meeting will be how Powell characterizes the interest-rate outlook. While most Wall Street strategists think one or two rate cuts are still possible later this year, the prospect of such a recalibration without clear evidence of economic weakness remains a bigger wild card than it did just a few weeks ago. Some think the Fed might not cut at all.</p><p>The Fed's rate outlook hinges on its inflation forecast, and the most recent data raises two possibilities. One is that the Fed's expectation that inflation continues to move lower but in an uneven and "bumpy" fashion is still intact -- but with bigger bumps. In such a scenario, a delayed and slower pace of rate cuts is still possible this year.</p><p>A second possibility is that inflation, rather than on a "bumpy" path to 2%, is getting stuck at a level closer to 3%. Without evidence that the economy is slowing more notably, that could scrap the case for cuts altogether.</p><h2 id=\"id_2135524953\">Rate policy remains "well-positioned"</h2><p>Powell is likely to acknowledge that officials have less conviction about when and how much to reduce interest rates. In March, most officials projected two or more rate cuts would be appropriate this year, and a narrow majority penciled in at least three cuts.</p><p>Even though officials won't submit new projections this week, at other meetings without them, Powell has taken the opportunity to reaffirm those one-meeting-old projections or, alternatively, declare them out of date. Wednesday's meeting is more likely to yield the latter outcome.</p><p>At the same time, Fed officials have indicated that they are broadly comfortable with their current stance. This makes a hawkish pivot toward entertaining rate increases unlikely.</p><p>"Policy is well-positioned to handle the risks that we face," Powell said on April 16. If inflation continues to run somewhat stronger, the Fed will simply keep rates at their current level for longer, he said.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c677b4f92d37f945481eacde52c31cb2\" tg-width=\"648\" tg-height=\"517\"/></p><p>As financial-market participants anticipate fewer cuts, longer-dated bond yields will rise. In effect, this achieves the same kind of tightening in financial conditions that Fed officials sought when they raised interest rates last year. Higher yields across the Treasury yield curve should ultimately hit asset values, including stocks, and slow the economy's momentum.</p><p>If inflation stays firm "that is what they will want to see, ultimately, " said Subadra Rajappa, head of U.S. rates strategy at Société Générale.</p><h2 id=\"id_1610720027\">Low risks of a hawkish pivot</h2><p>The difficulty for Fed officials in communicating their outlook right now boils down to the conditional nature of the "if/then" statements volunteered by Fed officials, which are premised on one set of outcomes. When the economy performs in ways that officials don't anticipate, their past statements may no longer be valid.</p><p>To that end, Powell might be hard-pressed to rule out any additional increases, even though it is likely premature for officials to meaningfully move in that direction.</p><p>But a hawkish pivot, suggesting an increase in rates is more likely than a cut, appears unlikely, for now. Any such shift is likely to unfold over a longer period. It would require some combination of a new, nasty supply shock such as a significant increase in commodity prices; signs that wage growth was reaccelerating; and evidence the public was anticipating higher inflation to continue well into the future.</p><p>A key measure on wages will be released Tuesday morning by the Labor Department, which will report the employment-cost index for the first quarter. Fed officials consider that measure the most comprehensive measure of pay growth. Signs that wage pressures have continued to ease would likely allay concerns about stickier service-sector inflation.</p><h2 id=\"id_2652152856\">The balance sheet</h2><p>Fed officials have said they could announce "fairly soon" their plan to slow the runoff of their $4.5 trillion in holdings of Treasury securities, which are part of their $7.4 trillion asset portfolio. That has led analysts to expect a formal plan announcing the slowdown at their meeting this week, though some see a chance this happens at their subsequent meeting in June.</p><p>At issue is a program the central bank initiated two years ago to passively reduce those holdings by allowing bonds to "run off" its balance sheet without buying new ones. It acquired trillions in Treasurys and mortgage bonds to stabilize financial markets in 2020 and to provide additional stimulus in 2021.</p><p>Every month, officials have allowed as much as $60 billion in Treasury securities and as much as $35 billion in mortgage-backed securities to mature without being replaced. The process is designed to shrink the Fed's balance sheet, which topped out at nearly $9 trillion two years ago.</p><p>At the March meeting, officials appeared to coalesce around a plan to reduce the pace of runoff "by roughly half." Because high interest rates have kept mortgage-bond runoff at a subdued level, officials wouldn't change that part of their program and instead lower the cap on monthly Treasury redemptions.</p><p>The latest changes aren't related to the setting of interest rates and are instead designed to avoid a messy upheaval in overnight lending markets that occurred five years ago.</p><p>The reduction in assets is also draining the financial system of bank deposits held at the Fed, which are called reserves. Officials don't know at what point reserves will grow scarce enough to push up yields in interbank lending markets. Slowing the process now is seen as preferable by many officials because it could allow the portfolio runoff to continue for somewhat longer without risking the same kind of market ruckus that occurred in 2019.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Fed to Signal It Has Stomach to Keep Rates High for Longer</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\">\nFed to Signal It Has Stomach to Keep Rates High for Longer\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2024-04-30 19:46</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p>By Nick Timiraos</p><p>An ancient Chinese proverb that counsels "do nothing, and everything will be done" could sum up the Federal Reserve's latest approach to interest-rate policy.</p><p>Fed officials will hold their benchmark federal-funds rate steady at its highest level in more than two decades, around 5.3%, at their two-day policy meeting that begins Tuesday.</p><p>Firmer-than-anticipated inflation in the first three months of the year has likely postponed rate cuts for the foreseeable future.

As a result, officials are likely to emphasize that they are prepared to hold rates steady, at a level most of them expect will provide meaningful restraint to economic activity, for longer than they previously anticipated.With no new economic projections at this meeting and minimal changes expected to the Fed's policy statement, Fed Chair Jerome Powell's press conference will be the main event on Wednesday. Here's what to watch:The inflation setbackSince officials' meeting in March, the economy has continued to demonstrate strong momentum. But inflation has disappointed after a string of cool readings in the second half of 2023 stirred optimism the central bank might be able to lower rates.In March, Powell held out the prospect that strong price pressures in January had been a bump on the road to lower inflation. Firm readings for February and March (even if not quite as hot as January) punctured that optimism. They raise the prospect that inflation might settle out closer to 3%. The Fed targets 2% inflation over time.Powell is likely to repeat a message he delivered two weeks ago, when he said recent data had \"clearly not given us greater confidence\" that inflation would continue declining to 2% \"and instead indicate that it's likely to take longer than expected to achieve that.\"The focus at this meeting will be how Powell characterizes the interest-rate outlook. While most Wall Street strategists think one or two rate cuts are still possible later this year, the prospect of such a recalibration without clear evidence of economic weakness remains a bigger wild card than it did just a few weeks ago. Some think the Fed might not cut at all.The Fed's rate outlook hinges on its inflation forecast, and the most recent data raises two possibilities. One is that the Fed's expectation that inflation continues to move lower but in an uneven and \"bumpy\" fashion is still intact -- but with bigger bumps. In such a scenario, a delayed and slower pace of rate cuts is still possible this year.A second possibility is that inflation, rather than on a \"bumpy\" path to 2%, is getting stuck at a level closer to 3%. Without evidence that the economy is slowing more notably, that could scrap the case for cuts altogether.Rate policy remains \"well-positioned\"Powell is likely to acknowledge that officials have less conviction about when and how much to reduce interest rates. In March, most officials projected two or more rate cuts would be appropriate this year, and a narrow majority penciled in at least three cuts.Even though officials won't submit new projections this week, at other meetings without them, Powell has taken the opportunity to reaffirm those one-meeting-old projections or, alternatively, declare them out of date. Wednesday's meeting is more likely to yield the latter outcome.At the same time, Fed officials have indicated that they are broadly comfortable with their current stance. This makes a hawkish pivot toward entertaining rate increases unlikely.\"Policy is well-positioned to handle the risks that we face,\" Powell said on April 16. If inflation continues to run somewhat stronger, the Fed will simply keep rates at their current level for longer, he said.As financial-market participants anticipate fewer cuts, longer-dated bond yields will rise. In effect, this achieves the same kind of tightening in financial conditions that Fed officials sought when they raised interest rates last year. Higher yields across the Treasury yield curve should ultimately hit asset values, including stocks, and slow the economy's momentum.If inflation stays firm \"that is what they will want to see, ultimately, \" said Subadra Rajappa, head of U.S. rates strategy at Société Générale.Low risks of a hawkish pivotThe difficulty for Fed officials in communicating their outlook right now boils down to the conditional nature of the \"if/then\" statements volunteered by Fed officials, which are premised on one set of outcomes. When the economy performs in ways that officials don't anticipate, their past statements may no longer be valid.To that end, Powell might be hard-pressed to rule out any additional increases, even though it is likely premature for officials to meaningfully move in that direction.But a hawkish pivot, suggesting an increase in rates is more likely than a cut, appears unlikely, for now. Any such shift is likely to unfold over a longer period. It would require some combination of a new, nasty supply shock such as a significant increase in commodity prices; signs that wage growth was reaccelerating; and evidence the public was anticipating higher inflation to continue well into the future.A key measure on wages will be released Tuesday morning by the Labor Department, which will report the employment-cost index for the first quarter. Fed officials consider that measure the most comprehensive measure of pay growth. Signs that wage pressures have continued to ease would likely allay concerns about stickier service-sector inflation.The balance sheetFed officials have said they could announce \"fairly soon\" their plan to slow the runoff of their $4.5 trillion in holdings of Treasury securities, which are part of their $7.4 trillion asset portfolio. That has led analysts to expect a formal plan announcing the slowdown at their meeting this week, though some see a chance this happens at their subsequent meeting in June.At issue is a program the central bank initiated two years ago to passively reduce those holdings by allowing bonds to \"run off\" its balance sheet without buying new ones. It acquired trillions in Treasurys and mortgage bonds to stabilize financial markets in 2020 and to provide additional stimulus in 2021.Every month, officials have allowed as much as $60 billion in Treasury securities and as much as $35 billion in mortgage-backed securities to mature without being replaced. The process is designed to shrink the Fed's balance sheet, which topped out at nearly $9 trillion two years ago.At the March meeting, officials appeared to coalesce around a plan to reduce the pace of runoff \"by roughly half.\" Because high interest rates have kept mortgage-bond runoff at a subdued level, officials wouldn't change that part of their program and instead lower the cap on monthly Treasury redemptions.The latest changes aren't related to the setting of interest rates and are instead designed to avoid a messy upheaval in overnight lending markets that occurred five years ago.The reduction in assets is also draining the financial system of bank deposits held at the Fed, which are called reserves. Officials don't know at what point reserves will grow scarce enough to push up yields in interbank lending markets. Slowing the process now is seen as preferable by many officials because it could allow the portfolio runoff to continue for somewhat longer without risking the same kind of market ruckus that occurred in 2019.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":44,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":269443518882048,"gmtCreate":1706798951413,"gmtModify":1706798955865,"author":{"id":"3575949343225606","authorId":"3575949343225606","name":"Kekemon","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/acc569fb2b4b8cb1641acae354a1df48","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like that say means got chance to cheong le.

I like the app and am optimistic about its future, but I am still cautious about investing in the share. Currently, the company is still on the verge of profitability, which means the investor suffers from large fluctuations in the share price and an increasing number of outstanding shares. Generally, the stock valuation is challenging as it is not possible to calculate a P/E ratio. My alternative calculation, which assumes a future net income margin of 5%, shows that the valuation is not attractive enough to enter here.</p><h3 id=\"id_1005777186\">Company Overview</h3><p>The company was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in Singapore. It is active throughout Southeast Asia with the online store Shopee and the financial business. The gaming division is accessible worldwide.</p><blockquote><p>Our mission is to better the lives of consumers and small businesses with technology. We operate three core businesses across digital entertainment, e-commerce, as well as digital payments and financial services, known as Garena, Shopee, and SeaMoney, respectively.</p><p>Sea Limited, company profile</p></blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c9abf21dace6a8e19aac766794824454\" alt=\"sea limited\" title=\"sea limited\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"68\"/><span>sea limited</span></p><h3 id=\"id_628844462\">The past: Financial Progress & Trends</h3><p>First, a short overview over a more extended period for revenues, expenses, and net income.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/967c33e0e6680415a866159dcfe2d707\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"467\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>I have created this overview of the income statement of the last quarter compared to the previous year, showing where money is spent and how the revenue and cost development is YoY.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f650975e11b1e2652b3f0f62de049f5e\" alt=\"author\" title=\"author\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"564\"/><span>author</span></p><p>Overall, the figures are not very impressive, and revenue growth, in particular, has been stagnant for several quarters. But the company has also reduced its costs significantly, resulting in a lower overall loss than the previous year. Sea Limited has been on the verge of profitability for around five quarters. Compared to 2022 and before, this is still a positive development overall, as the company had never made any profit during this time.</p><h3 id=\"id_3667394951\">Their three segments</h3><p>Undoubtedly, many readers are already aware of the various developments in SE's three segments. However, this analysis would not be complete without looking at these three segments separately.</p><h4 id=\"id_2034055949\">Garena</h4><blockquote><p>Garena is the developer and publisher of Free Fire, a popular mobile battle royale game. Free Fire is one of the largest mobile games in the world.</p><p>sea.com</p></blockquote><p>The company owes its rapidly rising revenue from 2022 onwards primarily to this area. However, as the pandemic flattened out more and more, user numbers and, thus, revenue also fell. Since 2022, however, user numbers have tended to remain relatively constant or fall only slightly, but the number of paying users has decreased, as seen in the following chart. In the last quarter, this segment saw a slight increase in revenue for the first time.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c0520c94062c4e8cdd37a771536dca41\" alt=\"Investor presentation\" title=\"Investor presentation\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"268\"/><span>Investor presentation</span></p><p>Given the total quarterly revenue of over $3.3B, this segment has lost its great importance. Of course, the company is still trying to squeeze out as much money as possible, but the focus has shifted to the other segments.</p><h4 id=\"id_3380274388\">Shopee</h4><p>This is the big online marketplace, the Amazon of Southeast Asia, so to speak, or at least is intended to become so. This is where SE now generates most of its sales: $2.2.B last quarter (+16.2% YoY). SE divides this revenue further into two areas.</p><blockquote><p>Core marketplace revenue, mainly consisting of transaction-based fees and advertising revenues, was up 31.7% year-on-year to US$1.3 billion. Value-added services revenue, mainly consisting of revenues related to logistics services, was down 4.2% year-on-year to US$592.8 million.</p><p>Q3 Results</p></blockquote><p>Shopee is still relatively young. Singapore was its first market in 2015 and since then expanded into numerous Southeast Asian countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Sea Limited has, therefore, made clever use of the pandemic. They used the money from the Garmena segment boom and the general stock-market hype to raise a lot of money to push Shopee. In the meantime, the company has freed itself from its dependence on the gaming sector. This is very pleasing for investors, as online games are volatile and fast-moving. A well-known online store is better suited for sustainable revenues.</p><p>However, it must be said that this segment is still clearly unprofitable, although the figures are improving. The following chart shows only the e-commerce area.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47e999d20aff1fb17ad0c54f3b9025e5\" alt=\"Investor presentation\" title=\"Investor presentation\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"516\"/><span>Investor presentation</span></p><h4 id=\"id_2455520323\">SeaMoney</h4><blockquote><p>SeaMoney offers various digital financial services and products including mobile wallet services, payment processing, credit, banking, and insurtech.</p><p>sea.com</p></blockquote><p>I will cover this area quickly; fortunately, it is growing strongly and steadily. This segment now generates just as much revenue as the gaming division.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fabacc1d12cf19c3ef04736256bb9115\" alt=\"Seeking Alpha\" title=\"Seeking Alpha\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"268\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><h3 id=\"id_1339260969\">My experience with Shopee</h3><p>I have spent 5 of the last 12 years in Southeast Asia and witnessed the development of e-commerce firsthand. About ten years ago, there was virtually no e-commerce, and it has only started to appear since the pandemic. Even now, the percentage of the online shopping population is significantly lower than in Western countries.</p><p>For example, in 2018, I wouldn't have even thought of ordering anything online in Thailand or Malaysia. It's different now, and that's how many people feel. There is quite a duopoly in most countries: Shopee and Lazada.</p><p>My assessment of Shopee has nothing to do with my stock analysis. Although I have tried both and can't say why, I only order from Shopee nowadays. Lazada seems even more chaotic and annoying with pop-ups. However, Shopee is also too packed for my taste: the navigation and search work well, but there's too much on the screen. Nevertheless, I like the app overall, and several Thai people I know also prefer Shopee to Lazada.</p><h3 id=\"id_4251351616\">The present: Valuation & current developments</h3><p>The company is currently valued at an enterprise value of $21.8B. The market cap is $23B, which means the company has more cash than debt. It isn't easy to assess the valuation as the company is not yet profitable in the long term. In my opinion, the analysts' figures for forward PE are relatively worthless, as we don't even know whether the company will be profitable at all in the next 12 months. Also, these are non-GAAP numbers, which often look significantly better than the GAAP numbers.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e3e4c46db297e0d1adf955096da6fc4d\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"467\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>However, the PS ratio and the comparison with other e-commerce companies are interesting in this case.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2074f2a3a4c27da46eb918b8d80c09e8\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"484\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>An example calculation for Sea Limited: With annual sales of $13B (the 2023 number) and a net income margin of 5%, this would result in a profit of $650M. That would be $1.14 per outstanding share, and by my calculation, the P/E ratio would be around 35 at the current share price (Amazon has a 3.6% net income margin and Mercado Libre 7.5%).</p><p>Let's say in 2027, the revenue is $17B. I leave the margin at 5% as more seems unlikely in the e-commerce sector. Then, the net profit would be $850M, and the P/E ratio on today's share price would be 27. This does not take into account that the number of outstanding shares will probably continue to rise, which is still the case; see below.</p><p>Also, from $13B to $17B is an annual increase of about 7%, i.e., more than recently. In addition to these points, there are also other risks.</p><h2 id=\"id_3716838109\">Risks</h2><p>On the one hand, the gaming division is still tending to flatten out (due to a slight increase in the last quarter, we cannot yet speak of a turnaround). It seems more likely that sales will continue to fall rather than suddenly climb back to 2021 levels.</p><p>The most significant risk overall is the competition. Although e-commerce is a growing market in Southeast Asia and Shopee is currently the leader in many countries, the e-commerce market in Asia is very fast and changing. The following graphic visualizes the emergence of a new potentially powerful competitor due to their already huge user numbers: TikTok.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/db87a11feed7ed5b9ab36ca4ae1c454f\" alt=\"businesstimes.com\" title=\"businesstimes.com\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"306\"/><span>businesstimes.com</span></p><p>Lazada is part of Alibaba (BABA) and has significantly stronger financial possibilities. New companies could also emerge; Southeast Asia is an exciting market for Chinese companies.</p><h2 id=\"id_801398814\">Share dilution, insider trades & SBCs</h2><p>For me, these three things are standard checks I make in every article, as excessive stock dilution and stock-based compensation can put us, shareholders, at a disadvantage. In addition, insider trades sometimes contain valuable info about the confidence of management itself.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/caba574426f07e79f9dfbf0c617bbd0a\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>I don't know why the SBCs stopped so abruptly in 2022; maybe there is a lack of data at YCharts. I haven't found any information on insider sales either.</p><h2 id=\"id_285685190\">Conclusion</h2><p>Overall, I am optimistic about the company's future and believe it will achieve sustainable profitability. However, I think my sample calculations have shown that the current valuation is not as attractive as it seems at first glance. Overall, there is not enough potential in the share to take the risk. What risk? We have seen it many times: one bad quarter and the share price drops by 20 %. The e-commerce sector in Southeast Asia is still young, and now TikTok has entered the market too. The outlook for SE´s gaming segment is a guessing game, and Shopee is not yet profitable. For my taste, there are more attractive opportunities in the market.</p><table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;\"><colgroup><col/><col/><col/></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p><strong>Investor's Checklist</strong></p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p><strong>Check</strong></p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p><strong>Description</strong></p></td></tr></tbody><tbody><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Rising revenues?</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>yes, but slowing</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Increasing over longer periods</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Improving margins?</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>the stock hasn´t reached sustainable profitability yet</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Possible competitive edge</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>PEG ratio below one?</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>no</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>PEG ratio below one may suggest undervaluation</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Sufficient cash reserves?</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>yes</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Vital for the survival & growth, especially of unprofitable companies</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Rewards shareholders?</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>no</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Returning capital to shareholders</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Shareholder negatives?</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>yes</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Actions that disadvantage shareholders</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Stock in an uptrend?</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>no</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Trading above its 200-day moving average?</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

More than a 5% net income margin seems unlikely in this business.kokkaiInvestment ThesisI am a user of Sea Limited's (NYSE:SE) main revenue generator, the e-commerce store Shopee. I like the app and am optimistic about its future, but I am still cautious about investing in the share. Currently, the company is still on the verge of profitability, which means the investor suffers from large fluctuations in the share price and an increasing number of outstanding shares. Generally, the stock valuation is challenging as it is not possible to calculate a P/E ratio. My alternative calculation, which assumes a future net income margin of 5%, shows that the valuation is not attractive enough to enter here.Company OverviewThe company was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in Singapore. It is active throughout Southeast Asia with the online store Shopee and the financial business. The gaming division is accessible worldwide.Our mission is to better the lives of consumers and small businesses with technology. We operate three core businesses across digital entertainment, e-commerce, as well as digital payments and financial services, known as Garena, Shopee, and SeaMoney, respectively.Sea Limited, company profilesea limitedThe past: Financial Progress & TrendsFirst, a short overview over a more extended period for revenues, expenses, and net income.Data by YChartsI have created this overview of the income statement of the last quarter compared to the previous year, showing where money is spent and how the revenue and cost development is YoY.authorOverall, the figures are not very impressive, and revenue growth, in particular, has been stagnant for several quarters. But the company has also reduced its costs significantly, resulting in a lower overall loss than the previous year. Sea Limited has been on the verge of profitability for around five quarters. Compared to 2022 and before, this is still a positive development overall, as the company had never made any profit during this time.Their three segmentsUndoubtedly, many readers are already aware of the various developments in SE's three segments. However, this analysis would not be complete without looking at these three segments separately.GarenaGarena is the developer and publisher of Free Fire, a popular mobile battle royale game. Free Fire is one of the largest mobile games in the world.sea.comThe company owes its rapidly rising revenue from 2022 onwards primarily to this area. However, as the pandemic flattened out more and more, user numbers and, thus, revenue also fell. Since 2022, however, user numbers have tended to remain relatively constant or fall only slightly, but the number of paying users has decreased, as seen in the following chart. In the last quarter, this segment saw a slight increase in revenue for the first time.Investor presentationGiven the total quarterly revenue of over $3.3B, this segment has lost its great importance. Of course, the company is still trying to squeeze out as much money as possible, but the focus has shifted to the other segments.ShopeeThis is the big online marketplace, the Amazon of Southeast Asia, so to speak, or at least is intended to become so. This is where SE now generates most of its sales: $2.2.B last quarter (+16.2% YoY). SE divides this revenue further into two areas.Core marketplace revenue, mainly consisting of transaction-based fees and advertising revenues, was up 31.7% year-on-year to US$1.3 billion. Value-added services revenue, mainly consisting of revenues related to logistics services, was down 4.2% year-on-year to US$592.8 million.Q3 ResultsShopee is still relatively young. Singapore was its first market in 2015 and since then expanded into numerous Southeast Asian countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Sea Limited has, therefore, made clever use of the pandemic. They used the money from the Garmena segment boom and the general stock-market hype to raise a lot of money to push Shopee. In the meantime, the company has freed itself from its dependence on the gaming sector. This is very pleasing for investors, as online games are volatile and fast-moving. A well-known online store is better suited for sustainable revenues.However, it must be said that this segment is still clearly unprofitable, although the figures are improving. The following chart shows only the e-commerce area.Investor presentationSeaMoneySeaMoney offers various digital financial services and products including mobile wallet services, payment processing, credit, banking, and insurtech.sea.comI will cover this area quickly; fortunately, it is growing strongly and steadily. This segment now generates just as much revenue as the gaming division.Seeking AlphaMy experience with ShopeeI have spent 5 of the last 12 years in Southeast Asia and witnessed the development of e-commerce firsthand. About ten years ago, there was virtually no e-commerce, and it has only started to appear since the pandemic. Even now, the percentage of the online shopping population is significantly lower than in Western countries.For example, in 2018, I wouldn't have even thought of ordering anything online in Thailand or Malaysia. It's different now, and that's how many people feel. There is quite a duopoly in most countries: Shopee and Lazada.My assessment of Shopee has nothing to do with my stock analysis. Although I have tried both and can't say why, I only order from Shopee nowadays. Lazada seems even more chaotic and annoying with pop-ups. However, Shopee is also too packed for my taste: the navigation and search work well, but there's too much on the screen. Nevertheless, I like the app overall, and several Thai people I know also prefer Shopee to Lazada.The present: Valuation & current developmentsThe company is currently valued at an enterprise value of $21.8B. The market cap is $23B, which means the company has more cash than debt. It isn't easy to assess the valuation as the company is not yet profitable in the long term. In my opinion, the analysts' figures for forward PE are relatively worthless, as we don't even know whether the company will be profitable at all in the next 12 months. Also, these are non-GAAP numbers, which often look significantly better than the GAAP numbers.Data by YChartsHowever, the PS ratio and the comparison with other e-commerce companies are interesting in this case.Data by YChartsAn example calculation for Sea Limited: With annual sales of $13B (the 2023 number) and a net income margin of 5%, this would result in a profit of $650M. That would be $1.14 per outstanding share, and by my calculation, the P/E ratio would be around 35 at the current share price (Amazon has a 3.6% net income margin and Mercado Libre 7.5%).Let's say in 2027, the revenue is $17B. I leave the margin at 5% as more seems unlikely in the e-commerce sector. Then, the net profit would be $850M, and the P/E ratio on today's share price would be 27. This does not take into account that the number of outstanding shares will probably continue to rise, which is still the case; see below.Also, from $13B to $17B is an annual increase of about 7%, i.e., more than recently. In addition to these points, there are also other risks.RisksOn the one hand, the gaming division is still tending to flatten out (due to a slight increase in the last quarter, we cannot yet speak of a turnaround). It seems more likely that sales will continue to fall rather than suddenly climb back to 2021 levels.The most significant risk overall is the competition. Although e-commerce is a growing market in Southeast Asia and Shopee is currently the leader in many countries, the e-commerce market in Asia is very fast and changing. The following graphic visualizes the emergence of a new potentially powerful competitor due to their already huge user numbers: TikTok.businesstimes.comLazada is part of Alibaba (BABA) and has significantly stronger financial possibilities. New companies could also emerge; Southeast Asia is an exciting market for Chinese companies.Share dilution, insider trades & SBCsFor me, these three things are standard checks I make in every article, as excessive stock dilution and stock-based compensation can put us, shareholders, at a disadvantage. In addition, insider trades sometimes contain valuable info about the confidence of management itself.Data by YChartsI don't know why the SBCs stopped so abruptly in 2022; maybe there is a lack of data at YCharts. I haven't found any information on insider sales either.ConclusionOverall, I am optimistic about the company's future and believe it will achieve sustainable profitability. However, I think my sample calculations have shown that the current valuation is not as attractive as it seems at first glance. Overall, there is not enough potential in the share to take the risk. What risk? We have seen it many times: one bad quarter and the share price drops by 20 %. The e-commerce sector in Southeast Asia is still young, and now TikTok has entered the market too. The outlook for SE´s gaming segment is a guessing game, and Shopee is not yet profitable. For my taste, there are more attractive opportunities in the market.Investor's ChecklistCheckDescriptionRising revenues?yes, but slowingIncreasing over longer periodsImproving margins?the stock hasn´t reached sustainable profitability yetPossible competitive edgePEG ratio below one?noPEG ratio below one may suggest undervaluationSufficient cash reserves?yesVital for the survival & growth, especially of unprofitable companiesRewards shareholders?noReturning capital to shareholdersShareholder negatives?yesActions that disadvantage shareholdersStock in an uptrend?noTrading above its 200-day moving average?","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":121,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":240928063320176,"gmtCreate":1699839292213,"gmtModify":1699839296923,"author":{"id":"3575949343225606","authorId":"3575949343225606","name":"Kekemon","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/acc569fb2b4b8cb1641acae354a1df48","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like that say sure will surge.

Keen investors should recall the "historic tumble" following the company's stunning FQ2 release as SE re-tested a critical support level.</p><p>I'm pleased to highlight to holders that SE sellers have failed to regain sufficient momentum to compel it down further. Despite that, the lack of sustained buying momentum from dip buyers suggests investors are likely expecting more assurances from management at its upcoming earnings conference.</p><p>Analysts will also be keen to assess Shopee's (e-commerce unit) Singles' Day sales momentum as the critical shopping festival comes to an end. Chinese e-commerce retailers have focused on value-conscious consumers to drive volume this year, highlighting the ongoing challenges of bolstering consumer spending in China's economy.</p><p>I believe Sea Limited and its Southeast Asian peers (Shopee's most crucial e-commerce market) aren't immune to the macroeconomic and inflation headwinds. Accordingly, it was reported recently that "Southeast Asia's internet economy is experiencing its slowest growth on record in 2023." As such, the region's e-commerce spending growth estimates have been reduced to 13% from last year's 20% growth. The reduction in estimates has raised fears of more intense competition and potentially lower structural growth in the medium term.</p><p>As such, investors must be wary of the previous fast-growth internet companies like Sea Limited, which relied on unsustainable consumer subsidies to gain market share rapidly. On that matter of sustainability, investors' hugely negative reaction in Q2 largely resulted from the company's return to potentially unsustainable spending it embarked on in the years when money was cheap.</p><p>However, that era is expected to be well and truly over as interest rates surge, possibly normalizing at much higher levels. Notwithstanding its market share leadership, Shopee was threatened by TikTok's (BDNCE) attempt to disrupt its business model with its social commerce-driven e-commerce strategy.</p><p>Sea Limited investors received a respite from the Indonesian government in early October, as Indonesia swiftly banned the ability of TikTok and their social media peers to combine direct e-commerce payments on their platforms. The move was intended to protect Indonesia's micro, small, and medium enterprises, or MSMEs, as they dealt with the disruption from TikTok's merchants.</p><p>Analysts lauded the move as helping to lower the impetus for TikTok to chip away at the market leadership of Sea Limited and its e-commerce peers. As a result, the need for sustained shipping subsidies in Shopee's most crucial market could be reduced. However, it's critical to note that the Indonesian market represented about 25% of its total GMV. Excluding Indonesia, the region likely accounted for 40% of Shopee's total GMV, suggesting investors shouldn't rejoice just yet.</p><p>TikTok's growing ambitions in the US suggest that the company isn't afraid to tackle e-commerce behemoth Amazon (AMZN) in its most important market. Its ability to drive e-commerce spending through its social media network moat is a significant competitive advantage that Shoppe could find very hard to defend against. I must recognize that TikTok is a formidable competitor supported by a profitable parent, ByteDance, who seems determined to disrupt what used to be the disruptor in the region: Shopee.</p><h2 id=\"id_4277693492\">Is SE Stock A Buy?</h2><p>Sea Limited investors could point out that the company is not just about Shopee. Its gaming arm and its fintech segment are also crucial growth drivers. However, it's essential to recognize that Shopee is expected to remain the company's most important growth driver in the short- and medium-term. With SE valued as a growth stock (assigned an "A-" growth grade and a "D" valuation grade by Seeking Alpha Quant), the company needs a coherent and sustainable strategy to fend off TikTok's threat.</p><p>However, I'm not sure what Sea Limited could muster as it's clear that investors no longer fancy massive spending to justify its market share gains. In other words, investors want Sea Limited to move away from those subsidies. However, TikTok's network effect moat has been built up with such ferocity and determination that it has a sustainable advantage that Sea Limited could find incredibly challenging to defend against.</p><p>While I'm assured that SE wasn't battered below the $35 level decisively after its August re-test, I've much less confidence in the company's ability to recover SE's malaise from here. In a high-interest rate environment, with a determined and capable competitor like TikTok, Shopee is looking increasingly more like the disrupted in time to come. With SE still valued at a premium, it could be dead money at best (in a consolidation zone). I am looking to cut my exposure substantially as I intend to rotate my funds to higher-quality moaty stocks.</p><p>Remember, we aren't likely heading back to the era of "free" money, which was the foundation of Shopee's unsustainable spending.</p><p><em>Rating: Downgraded to Hold.</em></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>Sea Limited: Dead Money At Best - Time To Move On (Rating Downgrade)</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\">\nSea Limited: Dead Money At Best - Time To Move On (Rating Downgrade)\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-11-13 09:10 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4650883-sea-earnings-preview-dead-money-time-to-move-rating-downgrade><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Sea Limited's upcoming earnings conference will scrutinize how the company intends to fend off TikTok's significant competitive threat.Analysts will also assess Shopee's Singles' Day sales momentum as...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4650883-sea-earnings-preview-dead-money-time-to-move-rating-downgrade\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"SE":"Sea Ltd"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4650883-sea-earnings-preview-dead-money-time-to-move-rating-downgrade","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2382474347","content_text":"Sea Limited's upcoming earnings conference will scrutinize how the company intends to fend off TikTok's significant competitive threat.Analysts will also assess Shopee's Singles' Day sales momentum as Southeast Asia's growth continues to slow.Notwithstanding the recent respite as TikTok's ambitions stalled in Indonesia, the battle is still ongoing in other markets.

Excluding Indonesia, the region likely accounted for 40% of Shopee's total GMV, suggesting investors shouldn't rejoice just yet.TikTok's growing ambitions in the US suggest that the company isn't afraid to tackle e-commerce behemoth Amazon (AMZN) in its most important market. Its ability to drive e-commerce spending through its social media network moat is a significant competitive advantage that Shoppe could find very hard to defend against. I must recognize that TikTok is a formidable competitor supported by a profitable parent, ByteDance, who seems determined to disrupt what used to be the disruptor in the region: Shopee.Is SE Stock A Buy?Sea Limited investors could point out that the company is not just about Shopee. Its gaming arm and its fintech segment are also crucial growth drivers. However, it's essential to recognize that Shopee is expected to remain the company's most important growth driver in the short- and medium-term. With SE valued as a growth stock (assigned an \"A-\" growth grade and a \"D\" valuation grade by Seeking Alpha Quant), the company needs a coherent and sustainable strategy to fend off TikTok's threat.However, I'm not sure what Sea Limited could muster as it's clear that investors no longer fancy massive spending to justify its market share gains. In other words, investors want Sea Limited to move away from those subsidies. However, TikTok's network effect moat has been built up with such ferocity and determination that it has a sustainable advantage that Sea Limited could find incredibly challenging to defend against.While I'm assured that SE wasn't battered below the $35 level decisively after its August re-test, I've much less confidence in the company's ability to recover SE's malaise from here. In a high-interest rate environment, with a determined and capable competitor like TikTok, Shopee is looking increasingly more like the disrupted in time to come. With SE still valued at a premium, it could be dead money at best (in a consolidation zone). I am looking to cut my exposure substantially as I intend to rotate my funds to higher-quality moaty stocks.Remember, we aren't likely heading back to the era of \"free\" money, which was the foundation of Shopee's unsustainable spending.Rating: Downgraded to Hold.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":149,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":210219292467288,"gmtCreate":1692345387518,"gmtModify":1692345392546,"author":{"id":"3575949343225606","authorId":"3575949343225606","name":"Kekemon","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/acc569fb2b4b8cb1641acae354a1df48","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"To normalise at $150.","listText":"To normalise at $150.","text":"To normalise at $150.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/210219292467288","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":196,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":202623067947096,"gmtCreate":1690507056356,"gmtModify":1690507060303,"author":{"id":"3575949343225606","authorId":"3575949343225606","name":"Kekemon","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/acc569fb2b4b8cb1641acae354a1df48","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Should let it go up for 30 days to curb inflation.

Indeed, the next Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is scheduled for July 25 and July 26. The implications of the meeting for the health of the stock market and the economy could be significant.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Many are expecting the Fed to raise rates again after it opted to pause in June, ending a 10-month streak of consecutive rate hikes. However, the decision remains a point of controversy among economists. Some believe the concern of an eventual “credit event” coming in the wake of the regional banking crisis earlier this year merits additional hesitance.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">That said, the CME FedWatch Tool, which tracks the implied probability of changes to the Federal Funds rate as determined by 30-day Fed Funds futures pricing data, is pricing in a 99.8% chance of a 25 basis-point rate increase in July. This would put the benchmark rate in the range of 5.25-5.5%, the highest level in nearly 22 years.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The Fed has long maintained its monetary policy decisions are data-dependent. This time around the data says that the Fed is already succeeding at its job. In fact, the June Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed easing annual inflation of just 3%. That’s well below May’s 4% level and just a third of the peak of 9.1% recorded in June 2022.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">“The cooler print across the board underscores that inflation is edging lower, but the core remains ‘sticky,’ although also cooling but not fast enough for the Fed to declare victory,” said Quincy Krosby, chief global strategist for LPL Financial. “The July 26 meeting will still see a rate hike, but unless core inflation comes down at a faster pace, July 26 won’t be a one and done.”</p><h2 id=\"id_88158909\" style=\"text-align: start;\">Stock Market Crash Concerns Loom Large</h2><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Despite the Fed’s success thus far, the central bank’s 2% inflation goal remains a point of controversy. The doves believe the Fed has already raised rates enough to sufficiently lower prices, hopefully without incurring an economic recession. The hawks, meanwhile, feel the current strength of the economy justifies an even more aggressive route forward.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">With unemployment holding relatively steady between 3.4% and 3.7% from March to July of this year, and stocks in the midst of a bull market, it seems the Fed has plenty of runway to attempt to forcibly lower prices.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Even metrics like economic growth and U.S. wages are doing excellent.

Indeed, the next Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting is scheduled for July 25 and July 26. The implications of the meeting for the health of the stock market and the economy could be significant.Many are expecting the Fed to raise rates again after it opted to pause in June, ending a 10-month streak of consecutive rate hikes. However, the decision remains a point of controversy among economists. Some believe the concern of an eventual “credit event” coming in the wake of the regional banking crisis earlier this year merits additional hesitance.That said, the CME FedWatch Tool, which tracks the implied probability of changes to the Federal Funds rate as determined by 30-day Fed Funds futures pricing data, is pricing in a 99.8% chance of a 25 basis-point rate increase in July. This would put the benchmark rate in the range of 5.25-5.5%, the highest level in nearly 22 years.The Fed has long maintained its monetary policy decisions are data-dependent. This time around the data says that the Fed is already succeeding at its job. In fact, the June Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed easing annual inflation of just 3%. That’s well below May’s 4% level and just a third of the peak of 9.1% recorded in June 2022.“The cooler print across the board underscores that inflation is edging lower, but the core remains ‘sticky,’ although also cooling but not fast enough for the Fed to declare victory,” said Quincy Krosby, chief global strategist for LPL Financial. “The July 26 meeting will still see a rate hike, but unless core inflation comes down at a faster pace, July 26 won’t be a one and done.”Stock Market Crash Concerns Loom LargeDespite the Fed’s success thus far, the central bank’s 2% inflation goal remains a point of controversy. The doves believe the Fed has already raised rates enough to sufficiently lower prices, hopefully without incurring an economic recession. The hawks, meanwhile, feel the current strength of the economy justifies an even more aggressive route forward.With unemployment holding relatively steady between 3.4% and 3.7% from March to July of this year, and stocks in the midst of a bull market, it seems the Fed has plenty of runway to attempt to forcibly lower prices.Even metrics like economic growth and U.S. wages are doing excellent. The country is managing to lower prices while avoiding greater economic turmoil. The question remains whether next week’s rate-hike decision will mark the final rate increase in 2023.In that regard, not everyone’s on the same page. “I see two more 25-basis-point hikes in the target range over the four remaining meetings this year as necessary to keep inflation moving toward our target,” said Fed Governor Christopher Waller earlier this month.As mentioned, however, data rules the day. Should evidence suggest that inflation is already on track to 2% without further hikes, or that the economy is spiraling into a wider recession, the Fed may opt for a dovish pivot — or at least play the wait-and-see game for the near future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":326,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9970480680,"gmtCreate":1684817633040,"gmtModify":1684817637268,"author":{"id":"3575949343225606","authorId":"3575949343225606","name":"Kekemon","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/acc569fb2b4b8cb1641acae354a1df48","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Lol.

Photographer: Qilai Shen/BloombergThe surge in technology stocks that’s caused renewed losses for short sellers this year looks to be running out of steam, encouraging bears to maintain their bets against long-time targets such as Tesla Inc., Apple Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc.Ten of the most-shorted stocks this year delivered almost $17 billion in combined mark-to-market losses for bears through Thursday, according to data-analytics firm S3 Partners. Tesla, which has surged 69% so far in 2023, leads the group by dealing a $7.2 billion blow to traders shorting the stock. The electric-car maker is followed by Nvidia Corp., Apple, Meta, Amazon.com Inc. and Microsoft Corp.The recent pain for short sellers is in contrast to 2022 when combined paper gains from the top 10 bearish bets were $57 billion, according to S3. Investors last year punished the most speculative companies, such as those with elevated price-earnings ratios, as interest-rate hikes sapped the market’s risk appetite.“If you shorted unprofitable names with high PEs you made a lot of money; if you are short right now you are getting squeezed real hard,” said Bob Doll, chief investment officer at Crossmark Global Investments. He’s co-manager of the Steward Equity Market Neutral Fund, which had short positions in more than 80 companies, including software developers Palantir Technologies Inc. and Cloudflare Inc., as of Dec. 31.Tesla has always been a big short-seller target. At the end of last year, it was the most-shorted stock and traders who had bet against it were sitting on paper gains of about $16 billion, according to S3.Things changed this year as appetite returned for the growth and tech stocks that slumped in 2022. The stock has surged this year and the Nasdaq 100 Index flirted with bull-market territory.Yet skeptics say this rally will soon fizzle out, making many highly valued stocks attractive short-seller targets again.The market’s valuation is full, growth drivers at big tech companies have been slowing and their stocks are “still extremely expensive,” said Brad Lamensdorf, a manager of the AdvisorShares Ranger Equity Bear ETF.The Nasdaq 100 trades at 23 times forward earnings, up from about 19 times four months ago, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

This doesn’t look like aLehman momentthat could upend the whole economy.

SVB’s failure has changed the conversation about banking and the regulators who oversee it. Suddenly, everyone is thinking about other risks that might be lurking. On March 14,Moody’s Investors Service cut its outlook for the entire US banking system, to negative from stable, citing the run on deposits at SVB. Two other lenders have gone bust, too: crypto playersSilvergate Capital Corp.andSignature Bank.</p><p>The death spiral at SVB began with credit ratings. In early March, Moody’s informed the bank it was considering a multilevel downgrade that would have pushed it to the brink of junk-bond status. In response, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., hired by SVB to help it raise fresh capital, jumped into action. It offloaded a chunk of SVB’s investment portfolio at a $1.8 billion loss. On Wednesday, March 8, Goldman pitched a plan to investors to help plug that hole, and then some, by raising $2.25 billion in capital fromGeneral Atlanticand other investors. Itdidn’t work.</p><p>“The Catch-22 of the situation is that, by announcing the need to raise capital, they in essence accelerated customer concern, resulting in the liquidity stress that ultimately caused their collapse,” says Olivier Sarkozy, managing partner atFurther Global, a private equity firm. “It would have been far better to announce the $2.25 billion they were seeking had been secured.”</p><p>In the bankers’ view, they were racing the clock to defuse the Moody’s threat. That didn’t leave them enough time to canvass the market, line up the funding and present a neatly put-together deal. Then CEO Becker held what turned out to be a disastrous call with VCs and limited partners. “Stay calm,” he said. It was too late. Bankers tapping away at their phones watched, aghast, as social media lit up with reports of a viral bank run.</p><p>By 3 p.m. the next day, Thursday, March 9, the news out of Santa Clarahad reached the White House. Such high-profile venture firms asUnion Square Venturesand thePeter Thiel-backedFounders Fundhad already been encouraging the companies they invested in to yank their deposits, almost all of which were uninsured because they exceeded the $250,000 limit on federal guarantees. Founders Fund haddrained its own accountsfrom the bank by midday.</p><p>The message was echoed by other VC titans.Bookface, an internal social network for founders of companies backed by the startup acceleratorY Combinator, was abuzz, as was a messenger threadof more than 1,000 founders fromAndreessen Horowitz, with many encouraging each other to pull cash from the bank. By day’s end, depositors had tried to withdraw $42 billion.</p><p>Silicon Valley bigs—many with a libertarian, get-government-off-our-backs bent—quickly looked to Washington. They implored the administration to step in and rescue depositors, or risk having banks topple like dominoes. On Friday morning, March 10, the new White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients and Lael Brainard, the former Fed vice chair who’djust becomedirector of Biden’s National Economic Council, went to the Oval Office to brief the president. They told him there was potential for the bank to be shut down—as it was later that day, even before the close of financial markets—and that there was a possibility of contagion, according to a source familiar with the discussion.</p><p>From dawn to midnight the following day, Zients, Brainard and other aides working in the White House’s West Wing developed a set of options. By Saturday afternoon, it was clear that regulators would probably need to take action to prevent contagion. When Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and top aides briefed Biden on the options, he was adamant: The federal government stood ready to protect depositors, small businesses and employees. Executives and investors could take their lumps. He didn’t want taxpayers to be on the hook, and any deal had to include firing management.</p><p>In the Bay Area, Iba Masood was struggling to make sense of it all. Masood, the co-founder and CEO of a tech startup calledTara.AI, had raised $14 million from investors. And she’d parked every penny of the company’s money at SVB. Masood began firing off emails and texts—hundreds and hundreds of them, until her carpal tunnel flared up. Tara.AI, she told her investors, was facing a perilous squeeze. She hopped in her C300 Mercedes-Benz and raced through a driving rainstorm to a Bank of America branch. Drenched, she hastily opened a corporate account. She felt good, she said, confident. She’d wake up the next morning and have the money in the new account.</p><p>But there was no next morning for SVB. It was too late. The money was frozen.</p><p>Trae Stephens, a partner at Founders Fund, said the firm had had a long, fruitful relationship with SVB. But that long, fruitful relationship wasn’t going to help Thiel’s firm honor its fiduciary duty to look out for its backers and limited partners. And it wasn’t going to help all those startups make payroll.</p><p>“The most inconvenient thing about the situation last week was actually the name of the bank. It got instantly politicized,” Stephens said in aMarch 14 interview on Bloomberg Television. To him, the idea that Washington had somehow bailed out rich VCs and techies is hogwash. “The government did what it needed to protect and shore up these smaller regional banks, to ensure there weren’t any further runs. It seems like they acted quickly—and did the right thing.”</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1584095487587","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>72 Hours in Washington: How the Frenzied SVB Rescue Took Shape</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\">\n72 Hours in Washington: How the Frenzied SVB Rescue Took Shape\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-03-15 22:38 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-15/svb-bailout-shaped-by-biden-administration-over-72-hours?srnd=premium><strong>Bloomberg</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Haunted by the fallout from the 2008 financial crisis, President Biden told aides that no taxpayer money should be used.It was approaching midnight in Washington and 9 p.m. in Santa Clara, California....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-15/svb-bailout-shaped-by-biden-administration-over-72-hours?srnd=premium\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"WAL":"阿莱恩斯西部银行","PACW":"西太平洋合众银行","SBNY":"签字银行"},"source_url":"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-15/svb-bailout-shaped-by-biden-administration-over-72-hours?srnd=premium","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1123603567","content_text":"Haunted by the fallout from the 2008 financial crisis, President Biden told aides that no taxpayer money should be used.It was approaching midnight in Washington and 9 p.m. in Santa Clara, California.

Itdidn’t work.“The Catch-22 of the situation is that, by announcing the need to raise capital, they in essence accelerated customer concern, resulting in the liquidity stress that ultimately caused their collapse,” says Olivier Sarkozy, managing partner atFurther Global, a private equity firm. “It would have been far better to announce the $2.25 billion they were seeking had been secured.”In the bankers’ view, they were racing the clock to defuse the Moody’s threat. That didn’t leave them enough time to canvass the market, line up the funding and present a neatly put-together deal. Then CEO Becker held what turned out to be a disastrous call with VCs and limited partners. “Stay calm,” he said. It was too late. Bankers tapping away at their phones watched, aghast, as social media lit up with reports of a viral bank run.By 3 p.m. the next day, Thursday, March 9, the news out of Santa Clarahad reached the White House. Such high-profile venture firms asUnion Square Venturesand thePeter Thiel-backedFounders Fundhad already been encouraging the companies they invested in to yank their deposits, almost all of which were uninsured because they exceeded the $250,000 limit on federal guarantees. Founders Fund haddrained its own accountsfrom the bank by midday.The message was echoed by other VC titans.Bookface, an internal social network for founders of companies backed by the startup acceleratorY Combinator, was abuzz, as was a messenger threadof more than 1,000 founders fromAndreessen Horowitz, with many encouraging each other to pull cash from the bank. By day’s end, depositors had tried to withdraw $42 billion.Silicon Valley bigs—many with a libertarian, get-government-off-our-backs bent—quickly looked to Washington. They implored the administration to step in and rescue depositors, or risk having banks topple like dominoes. On Friday morning, March 10, the new White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients and Lael Brainard, the former Fed vice chair who’djust becomedirector of Biden’s National Economic Council, went to the Oval Office to brief the president. They told him there was potential for the bank to be shut down—as it was later that day, even before the close of financial markets—and that there was a possibility of contagion, according to a source familiar with the discussion.From dawn to midnight the following day, Zients, Brainard and other aides working in the White House’s West Wing developed a set of options. By Saturday afternoon, it was clear that regulators would probably need to take action to prevent contagion. When Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and top aides briefed Biden on the options, he was adamant: The federal government stood ready to protect depositors, small businesses and employees. Executives and investors could take their lumps. He didn’t want taxpayers to be on the hook, and any deal had to include firing management.In the Bay Area, Iba Masood was struggling to make sense of it all. Masood, the co-founder and CEO of a tech startup calledTara.AI, had raised $14 million from investors. And she’d parked every penny of the company’s money at SVB. Masood began firing off emails and texts—hundreds and hundreds of them, until her carpal tunnel flared up. Tara.AI, she told her investors, was facing a perilous squeeze. She hopped in her C300 Mercedes-Benz and raced through a driving rainstorm to a Bank of America branch. Drenched, she hastily opened a corporate account. She felt good, she said, confident. She’d wake up the next morning and have the money in the new account.But there was no next morning for SVB. It was too late. The money was frozen.Trae Stephens, a partner at Founders Fund, said the firm had had a long, fruitful relationship with SVB. But that long, fruitful relationship wasn’t going to help Thiel’s firm honor its fiduciary duty to look out for its backers and limited partners. And it wasn’t going to help all those startups make payroll.“The most inconvenient thing about the situation last week was actually the name of the bank. It got instantly politicized,” Stephens said in aMarch 14 interview on Bloomberg Television. To him, the idea that Washington had somehow bailed out rich VCs and techies is hogwash. “The government did what it needed to protect and shore up these smaller regional banks, to ensure there weren’t any further runs. It seems like they acted quickly—and did the right thing.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":45,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9957103388,"gmtCreate":1677055539145,"gmtModify":1677055543514,"author":{"id":"3575949343225606","authorId":"3575949343225606","name":"Kekemon","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/acc569fb2b4b8cb1641acae354a1df48","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Totally agreed.

It should follow the same path that the European Central Bank (ECB) recently took, emphasizing the separation between using monetary policy to address inflation and bank lending facilities to address financial stability risks.This would entail the Fed raising rates by another 25 basis points and signaling that more rate hikes are coming, with no rate cuts expected in 2023.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":214,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3584911736417489","authorId":"3584911736417489","name":"Fly High","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8572d7c834f14d421f65ad1ce935d0c8","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"content":"More banks will face run on deposits and US financial crisis...

Some think the Fed might not cut at all.</p><p>The Fed's rate outlook hinges on its inflation forecast, and the most recent data raises two possibilities.

This makes a hawkish pivot toward entertaining rate increases unlikely.</p><p>"Policy is well-positioned to handle the risks that we face," Powell said on April 16. If inflation continues to run somewhat stronger, the Fed will simply keep rates at their current level for longer, he said.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c677b4f92d37f945481eacde52c31cb2\" tg-width=\"648\" tg-height=\"517\"/></p><p>As financial-market participants anticipate fewer cuts, longer-dated bond yields will rise. In effect, this achieves the same kind of tightening in financial conditions that Fed officials sought when they raised interest rates last year. Higher yields across the Treasury yield curve should ultimately hit asset values, including stocks, and slow the economy's momentum.</p><p>If inflation stays firm "that is what they will want to see, ultimately, " said Subadra Rajappa, head of U.S. rates strategy at Société Générale.</p><h2 id=\"id_1610720027\">Low risks of a hawkish pivot</h2><p>The difficulty for Fed officials in communicating their outlook right now boils down to the conditional nature of the "if/then" statements volunteered by Fed officials, which are premised on one set of outcomes. When the economy performs in ways that officials don't anticipate, their past statements may no longer be valid.</p><p>To that end, Powell might be hard-pressed to rule out any additional increases, even though it is likely premature for officials to meaningfully move in that direction.</p><p>But a hawkish pivot, suggesting an increase in rates is more likely than a cut, appears unlikely, for now. Any such shift is likely to unfold over a longer period. It would require some combination of a new, nasty supply shock such as a significant increase in commodity prices; signs that wage growth was reaccelerating; and evidence the public was anticipating higher inflation to continue well into the future.</p><p>A key measure on wages will be released Tuesday morning by the Labor Department, which will report the employment-cost index for the first quarter. Fed officials consider that measure the most comprehensive measure of pay growth. Signs that wage pressures have continued to ease would likely allay concerns about stickier service-sector inflation.</p><h2 id=\"id_2652152856\">The balance sheet</h2><p>Fed officials have said they could announce "fairly soon" their plan to slow the runoff of their $4.5 trillion in holdings of Treasury securities, which are part of their $7.4 trillion asset portfolio. That has led analysts to expect a formal plan announcing the slowdown at their meeting this week, though some see a chance this happens at their subsequent meeting in June.</p><p>At issue is a program the central bank initiated two years ago to passively reduce those holdings by allowing bonds to "run off" its balance sheet without buying new ones. It acquired trillions in Treasurys and mortgage bonds to stabilize financial markets in 2020 and to provide additional stimulus in 2021.</p><p>Every month, officials have allowed as much as $60 billion in Treasury securities and as much as $35 billion in mortgage-backed securities to mature without being replaced. The process is designed to shrink the Fed's balance sheet, which topped out at nearly $9 trillion two years ago.</p><p>At the March meeting, officials appeared to coalesce around a plan to reduce the pace of runoff "by roughly half." Because high interest rates have kept mortgage-bond runoff at a subdued level, officials wouldn't change that part of their program and instead lower the cap on monthly Treasury redemptions.</p><p>The latest changes aren't related to the setting of interest rates and are instead designed to avoid a messy upheaval in overnight lending markets that occurred five years ago.</p><p>The reduction in assets is also draining the financial system of bank deposits held at the Fed, which are called reserves. Officials don't know at what point reserves will grow scarce enough to push up yields in interbank lending markets. Slowing the process now is seen as preferable by many officials because it could allow the portfolio runoff to continue for somewhat longer without risking the same kind of market ruckus that occurred in 2019.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Fed to Signal It Has Stomach to Keep Rates High for Longer</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\">\nFed to Signal It Has Stomach to Keep Rates High for Longer\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2024-04-30 19:46</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p>By Nick Timiraos</p><p>An ancient Chinese proverb that counsels "do nothing, and everything will be done" could sum up the Federal Reserve's latest approach to interest-rate policy.</p><p>Fed officials will hold their benchmark federal-funds rate steady at its highest level in more than two decades, around 5.3%, at their two-day policy meeting that begins Tuesday.</p><p>Firmer-than-anticipated inflation in the first three months of the year has likely postponed rate cuts for the foreseeable future.

The process is designed to shrink the Fed's balance sheet, which topped out at nearly $9 trillion two years ago.At the March meeting, officials appeared to coalesce around a plan to reduce the pace of runoff \"by roughly half.\" Because high interest rates have kept mortgage-bond runoff at a subdued level, officials wouldn't change that part of their program and instead lower the cap on monthly Treasury redemptions.The latest changes aren't related to the setting of interest rates and are instead designed to avoid a messy upheaval in overnight lending markets that occurred five years ago.The reduction in assets is also draining the financial system of bank deposits held at the Fed, which are called reserves. Officials don't know at what point reserves will grow scarce enough to push up yields in interbank lending markets. Slowing the process now is seen as preferable by many officials because it could allow the portfolio runoff to continue for somewhat longer without risking the same kind of market ruckus that occurred in 2019.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":44,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9943688032,"gmtCreate":1679407490827,"gmtModify":1679407495440,"author":{"id":"3575949343225606","authorId":"3575949343225606","name":"Kekemon","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/acc569fb2b4b8cb1641acae354a1df48","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sibeh funny.

I like the app and am optimistic about its future, but I am still cautious about investing in the share. Currently, the company is still on the verge of profitability, which means the investor suffers from large fluctuations in the share price and an increasing number of outstanding shares. Generally, the stock valuation is challenging as it is not possible to calculate a P/E ratio. My alternative calculation, which assumes a future net income margin of 5%, shows that the valuation is not attractive enough to enter here.</p><h3 id=\"id_1005777186\">Company Overview</h3><p>The company was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in Singapore. It is active throughout Southeast Asia with the online store Shopee and the financial business. The gaming division is accessible worldwide.</p><blockquote><p>Our mission is to better the lives of consumers and small businesses with technology. We operate three core businesses across digital entertainment, e-commerce, as well as digital payments and financial services, known as Garena, Shopee, and SeaMoney, respectively.</p><p>Sea Limited, company profile</p></blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c9abf21dace6a8e19aac766794824454\" alt=\"sea limited\" title=\"sea limited\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"68\"/><span>sea limited</span></p><h3 id=\"id_628844462\">The past: Financial Progress & Trends</h3><p>First, a short overview over a more extended period for revenues, expenses, and net income.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/967c33e0e6680415a866159dcfe2d707\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"467\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>I have created this overview of the income statement of the last quarter compared to the previous year, showing where money is spent and how the revenue and cost development is YoY.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f650975e11b1e2652b3f0f62de049f5e\" alt=\"author\" title=\"author\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"564\"/><span>author</span></p><p>Overall, the figures are not very impressive, and revenue growth, in particular, has been stagnant for several quarters. But the company has also reduced its costs significantly, resulting in a lower overall loss than the previous year. Sea Limited has been on the verge of profitability for around five quarters. Compared to 2022 and before, this is still a positive development overall, as the company had never made any profit during this time.</p><h3 id=\"id_3667394951\">Their three segments</h3><p>Undoubtedly, many readers are already aware of the various developments in SE's three segments. However, this analysis would not be complete without looking at these three segments separately.</p><h4 id=\"id_2034055949\">Garena</h4><blockquote><p>Garena is the developer and publisher of Free Fire, a popular mobile battle royale game. Free Fire is one of the largest mobile games in the world.</p><p>sea.com</p></blockquote><p>The company owes its rapidly rising revenue from 2022 onwards primarily to this area. However, as the pandemic flattened out more and more, user numbers and, thus, revenue also fell. Since 2022, however, user numbers have tended to remain relatively constant or fall only slightly, but the number of paying users has decreased, as seen in the following chart. In the last quarter, this segment saw a slight increase in revenue for the first time.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c0520c94062c4e8cdd37a771536dca41\" alt=\"Investor presentation\" title=\"Investor presentation\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"268\"/><span>Investor presentation</span></p><p>Given the total quarterly revenue of over $3.3B, this segment has lost its great importance. Of course, the company is still trying to squeeze out as much money as possible, but the focus has shifted to the other segments.</p><h4 id=\"id_3380274388\">Shopee</h4><p>This is the big online marketplace, the Amazon of Southeast Asia, so to speak, or at least is intended to become so. This is where SE now generates most of its sales: $2.2.B last quarter (+16.2% YoY). SE divides this revenue further into two areas.</p><blockquote><p>Core marketplace revenue, mainly consisting of transaction-based fees and advertising revenues, was up 31.7% year-on-year to US$1.3 billion. Value-added services revenue, mainly consisting of revenues related to logistics services, was down 4.2% year-on-year to US$592.8 million.</p><p>Q3 Results</p></blockquote><p>Shopee is still relatively young. Singapore was its first market in 2015 and since then expanded into numerous Southeast Asian countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Sea Limited has, therefore, made clever use of the pandemic. They used the money from the Garmena segment boom and the general stock-market hype to raise a lot of money to push Shopee. In the meantime, the company has freed itself from its dependence on the gaming sector. This is very pleasing for investors, as online games are volatile and fast-moving. A well-known online store is better suited for sustainable revenues.</p><p>However, it must be said that this segment is still clearly unprofitable, although the figures are improving. The following chart shows only the e-commerce area.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47e999d20aff1fb17ad0c54f3b9025e5\" alt=\"Investor presentation\" title=\"Investor presentation\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"516\"/><span>Investor presentation</span></p><h4 id=\"id_2455520323\">SeaMoney</h4><blockquote><p>SeaMoney offers various digital financial services and products including mobile wallet services, payment processing, credit, banking, and insurtech.</p><p>sea.com</p></blockquote><p>I will cover this area quickly; fortunately, it is growing strongly and steadily. This segment now generates just as much revenue as the gaming division.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fabacc1d12cf19c3ef04736256bb9115\" alt=\"Seeking Alpha\" title=\"Seeking Alpha\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"268\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><h3 id=\"id_1339260969\">My experience with Shopee</h3><p>I have spent 5 of the last 12 years in Southeast Asia and witnessed the development of e-commerce firsthand. About ten years ago, there was virtually no e-commerce, and it has only started to appear since the pandemic. Even now, the percentage of the online shopping population is significantly lower than in Western countries.</p><p>For example, in 2018, I wouldn't have even thought of ordering anything online in Thailand or Malaysia. It's different now, and that's how many people feel. There is quite a duopoly in most countries: Shopee and Lazada.</p><p>My assessment of Shopee has nothing to do with my stock analysis. Although I have tried both and can't say why, I only order from Shopee nowadays. Lazada seems even more chaotic and annoying with pop-ups. However, Shopee is also too packed for my taste: the navigation and search work well, but there's too much on the screen. Nevertheless, I like the app overall, and several Thai people I know also prefer Shopee to Lazada.</p><h3 id=\"id_4251351616\">The present: Valuation & current developments</h3><p>The company is currently valued at an enterprise value of $21.8B. The market cap is $23B, which means the company has more cash than debt. It isn't easy to assess the valuation as the company is not yet profitable in the long term. In my opinion, the analysts' figures for forward PE are relatively worthless, as we don't even know whether the company will be profitable at all in the next 12 months. Also, these are non-GAAP numbers, which often look significantly better than the GAAP numbers.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e3e4c46db297e0d1adf955096da6fc4d\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"467\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>However, the PS ratio and the comparison with other e-commerce companies are interesting in this case.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2074f2a3a4c27da46eb918b8d80c09e8\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"484\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>An example calculation for Sea Limited: With annual sales of $13B (the 2023 number) and a net income margin of 5%, this would result in a profit of $650M. That would be $1.14 per outstanding share, and by my calculation, the P/E ratio would be around 35 at the current share price (Amazon has a 3.6% net income margin and Mercado Libre 7.5%).</p><p>Let's say in 2027, the revenue is $17B. I leave the margin at 5% as more seems unlikely in the e-commerce sector. Then, the net profit would be $850M, and the P/E ratio on today's share price would be 27. This does not take into account that the number of outstanding shares will probably continue to rise, which is still the case; see below.</p><p>Also, from $13B to $17B is an annual increase of about 7%, i.e., more than recently. In addition to these points, there are also other risks.</p><h2 id=\"id_3716838109\">Risks</h2><p>On the one hand, the gaming division is still tending to flatten out (due to a slight increase in the last quarter, we cannot yet speak of a turnaround). It seems more likely that sales will continue to fall rather than suddenly climb back to 2021 levels.</p><p>The most significant risk overall is the competition. Although e-commerce is a growing market in Southeast Asia and Shopee is currently the leader in many countries, the e-commerce market in Asia is very fast and changing. The following graphic visualizes the emergence of a new potentially powerful competitor due to their already huge user numbers: TikTok.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/db87a11feed7ed5b9ab36ca4ae1c454f\" alt=\"businesstimes.com\" title=\"businesstimes.com\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"306\"/><span>businesstimes.com</span></p><p>Lazada is part of Alibaba (BABA) and has significantly stronger financial possibilities. New companies could also emerge; Southeast Asia is an exciting market for Chinese companies.</p><h2 id=\"id_801398814\">Share dilution, insider trades & SBCs</h2><p>For me, these three things are standard checks I make in every article, as excessive stock dilution and stock-based compensation can put us, shareholders, at a disadvantage. In addition, insider trades sometimes contain valuable info about the confidence of management itself.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/caba574426f07e79f9dfbf0c617bbd0a\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>I don't know why the SBCs stopped so abruptly in 2022; maybe there is a lack of data at YCharts. I haven't found any information on insider sales either.</p><h2 id=\"id_285685190\">Conclusion</h2><p>Overall, I am optimistic about the company's future and believe it will achieve sustainable profitability. However, I think my sample calculations have shown that the current valuation is not as attractive as it seems at first glance. Overall, there is not enough potential in the share to take the risk. What risk? We have seen it many times: one bad quarter and the share price drops by 20 %. The e-commerce sector in Southeast Asia is still young, and now TikTok has entered the market too. The outlook for SE´s gaming segment is a guessing game, and Shopee is not yet profitable. For my taste, there are more attractive opportunities in the market.</p><table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;\"><colgroup><col/><col/><col/></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p><strong>Investor's Checklist</strong></p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p><strong>Check</strong></p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p><strong>Description</strong></p></td></tr></tbody><tbody><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Rising revenues?</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>yes, but slowing</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Increasing over longer periods</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Improving margins?</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>the stock hasn´t reached sustainable profitability yet</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Possible competitive edge</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>PEG ratio below one?</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>no</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>PEG ratio below one may suggest undervaluation</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Sufficient cash reserves?</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>yes</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Vital for the survival & growth, especially of unprofitable companies</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Rewards shareholders?</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>no</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Returning capital to shareholders</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Shareholder negatives?</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>yes</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Actions that disadvantage shareholders</p></td></tr><tr><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Stock in an uptrend?</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>no</p></td><td style=\"text-align:left;\"><p>Trading above its 200-day moving average?</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

More than a 5% net income margin seems unlikely in this business.kokkaiInvestment ThesisI am a user of Sea Limited's (NYSE:SE) main revenue generator, the e-commerce store Shopee. I like the app and am optimistic about its future, but I am still cautious about investing in the share. Currently, the company is still on the verge of profitability, which means the investor suffers from large fluctuations in the share price and an increasing number of outstanding shares. Generally, the stock valuation is challenging as it is not possible to calculate a P/E ratio. My alternative calculation, which assumes a future net income margin of 5%, shows that the valuation is not attractive enough to enter here.Company OverviewThe company was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in Singapore. It is active throughout Southeast Asia with the online store Shopee and the financial business. The gaming division is accessible worldwide.Our mission is to better the lives of consumers and small businesses with technology. We operate three core businesses across digital entertainment, e-commerce, as well as digital payments and financial services, known as Garena, Shopee, and SeaMoney, respectively.Sea Limited, company profilesea limitedThe past: Financial Progress & TrendsFirst, a short overview over a more extended period for revenues, expenses, and net income.Data by YChartsI have created this overview of the income statement of the last quarter compared to the previous year, showing where money is spent and how the revenue and cost development is YoY.authorOverall, the figures are not very impressive, and revenue growth, in particular, has been stagnant for several quarters. But the company has also reduced its costs significantly, resulting in a lower overall loss than the previous year. Sea Limited has been on the verge of profitability for around five quarters. Compared to 2022 and before, this is still a positive development overall, as the company had never made any profit during this time.Their three segmentsUndoubtedly, many readers are already aware of the various developments in SE's three segments. However, this analysis would not be complete without looking at these three segments separately.GarenaGarena is the developer and publisher of Free Fire, a popular mobile battle royale game. Free Fire is one of the largest mobile games in the world.sea.comThe company owes its rapidly rising revenue from 2022 onwards primarily to this area. However, as the pandemic flattened out more and more, user numbers and, thus, revenue also fell. Since 2022, however, user numbers have tended to remain relatively constant or fall only slightly, but the number of paying users has decreased, as seen in the following chart. In the last quarter, this segment saw a slight increase in revenue for the first time.Investor presentationGiven the total quarterly revenue of over $3.3B, this segment has lost its great importance. Of course, the company is still trying to squeeze out as much money as possible, but the focus has shifted to the other segments.ShopeeThis is the big online marketplace, the Amazon of Southeast Asia, so to speak, or at least is intended to become so. This is where SE now generates most of its sales: $2.2.B last quarter (+16.2% YoY). SE divides this revenue further into two areas.Core marketplace revenue, mainly consisting of transaction-based fees and advertising revenues, was up 31.7% year-on-year to US$1.3 billion. Value-added services revenue, mainly consisting of revenues related to logistics services, was down 4.2% year-on-year to US$592.8 million.Q3 ResultsShopee is still relatively young. Singapore was its first market in 2015 and since then expanded into numerous Southeast Asian countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Sea Limited has, therefore, made clever use of the pandemic. They used the money from the Garmena segment boom and the general stock-market hype to raise a lot of money to push Shopee. In the meantime, the company has freed itself from its dependence on the gaming sector. This is very pleasing for investors, as online games are volatile and fast-moving. A well-known online store is better suited for sustainable revenues.However, it must be said that this segment is still clearly unprofitable, although the figures are improving. The following chart shows only the e-commerce area.Investor presentationSeaMoneySeaMoney offers various digital financial services and products including mobile wallet services, payment processing, credit, banking, and insurtech.sea.comI will cover this area quickly; fortunately, it is growing strongly and steadily. This segment now generates just as much revenue as the gaming division.Seeking AlphaMy experience with ShopeeI have spent 5 of the last 12 years in Southeast Asia and witnessed the development of e-commerce firsthand. About ten years ago, there was virtually no e-commerce, and it has only started to appear since the pandemic. Even now, the percentage of the online shopping population is significantly lower than in Western countries.For example, in 2018, I wouldn't have even thought of ordering anything online in Thailand or Malaysia. It's different now, and that's how many people feel. There is quite a duopoly in most countries: Shopee and Lazada.My assessment of Shopee has nothing to do with my stock analysis. Although I have tried both and can't say why, I only order from Shopee nowadays. Lazada seems even more chaotic and annoying with pop-ups. However, Shopee is also too packed for my taste: the navigation and search work well, but there's too much on the screen. Nevertheless, I like the app overall, and several Thai people I know also prefer Shopee to Lazada.The present: Valuation & current developmentsThe company is currently valued at an enterprise value of $21.8B. The market cap is $23B, which means the company has more cash than debt. It isn't easy to assess the valuation as the company is not yet profitable in the long term. In my opinion, the analysts' figures for forward PE are relatively worthless, as we don't even know whether the company will be profitable at all in the next 12 months. Also, these are non-GAAP numbers, which often look significantly better than the GAAP numbers.Data by YChartsHowever, the PS ratio and the comparison with other e-commerce companies are interesting in this case.Data by YChartsAn example calculation for Sea Limited: With annual sales of $13B (the 2023 number) and a net income margin of 5%, this would result in a profit of $650M. That would be $1.14 per outstanding share, and by my calculation, the P/E ratio would be around 35 at the current share price (Amazon has a 3.6% net income margin and Mercado Libre 7.5%).Let's say in 2027, the revenue is $17B. I leave the margin at 5% as more seems unlikely in the e-commerce sector. Then, the net profit would be $850M, and the P/E ratio on today's share price would be 27. This does not take into account that the number of outstanding shares will probably continue to rise, which is still the case; see below.Also, from $13B to $17B is an annual increase of about 7%, i.e., more than recently. In addition to these points, there are also other risks.RisksOn the one hand, the gaming division is still tending to flatten out (due to a slight increase in the last quarter, we cannot yet speak of a turnaround). It seems more likely that sales will continue to fall rather than suddenly climb back to 2021 levels.The most significant risk overall is the competition. Although e-commerce is a growing market in Southeast Asia and Shopee is currently the leader in many countries, the e-commerce market in Asia is very fast and changing. The following graphic visualizes the emergence of a new potentially powerful competitor due to their already huge user numbers: TikTok.businesstimes.comLazada is part of Alibaba (BABA) and has significantly stronger financial possibilities. New companies could also emerge; Southeast Asia is an exciting market for Chinese companies.Share dilution, insider trades & SBCsFor me, these three things are standard checks I make in every article, as excessive stock dilution and stock-based compensation can put us, shareholders, at a disadvantage. In addition, insider trades sometimes contain valuable info about the confidence of management itself.Data by YChartsI don't know why the SBCs stopped so abruptly in 2022; maybe there is a lack of data at YCharts. I haven't found any information on insider sales either.ConclusionOverall, I am optimistic about the company's future and believe it will achieve sustainable profitability. However, I think my sample calculations have shown that the current valuation is not as attractive as it seems at first glance. Overall, there is not enough potential in the share to take the risk. What risk? We have seen it many times: one bad quarter and the share price drops by 20 %. The e-commerce sector in Southeast Asia is still young, and now TikTok has entered the market too. The outlook for SE´s gaming segment is a guessing game, and Shopee is not yet profitable. For my taste, there are more attractive opportunities in the market.Investor's ChecklistCheckDescriptionRising revenues?yes, but slowingIncreasing over longer periodsImproving margins?the stock hasn´t reached sustainable profitability yetPossible competitive edgePEG ratio below one?noPEG ratio below one may suggest undervaluationSufficient cash reserves?yesVital for the survival & growth, especially of unprofitable companiesRewards shareholders?noReturning capital to shareholdersShareholder negatives?yesActions that disadvantage shareholdersStock in an uptrend?noTrading above its 200-day moving average?","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":121,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":210219292467288,"gmtCreate":1692345387518,"gmtModify":1692345392546,"author":{"id":"3575949343225606","authorId":"3575949343225606","name":"Kekemon","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/acc569fb2b4b8cb1641acae354a1df48","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"To normalise at $150.","listText":"To normalise at $150.","text":"To normalise at $150.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/210219292467288","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":196,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":240928063320176,"gmtCreate":1699839292213,"gmtModify":1699839296923,"author":{"id":"3575949343225606","authorId":"3575949343225606","name":"Kekemon","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/acc569fb2b4b8cb1641acae354a1df48","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like that say sure will surge.

Keen investors should recall the "historic tumble" following the company's stunning FQ2 release as SE re-tested a critical support level.</p><p>I'm pleased to highlight to holders that SE sellers have failed to regain sufficient momentum to compel it down further. Despite that, the lack of sustained buying momentum from dip buyers suggests investors are likely expecting more assurances from management at its upcoming earnings conference.</p><p>Analysts will also be keen to assess Shopee's (e-commerce unit) Singles' Day sales momentum as the critical shopping festival comes to an end. Chinese e-commerce retailers have focused on value-conscious consumers to drive volume this year, highlighting the ongoing challenges of bolstering consumer spending in China's economy.</p><p>I believe Sea Limited and its Southeast Asian peers (Shopee's most crucial e-commerce market) aren't immune to the macroeconomic and inflation headwinds. Accordingly, it was reported recently that "Southeast Asia's internet economy is experiencing its slowest growth on record in 2023." As such, the region's e-commerce spending growth estimates have been reduced to 13% from last year's 20% growth. The reduction in estimates has raised fears of more intense competition and potentially lower structural growth in the medium term.</p><p>As such, investors must be wary of the previous fast-growth internet companies like Sea Limited, which relied on unsustainable consumer subsidies to gain market share rapidly. On that matter of sustainability, investors' hugely negative reaction in Q2 largely resulted from the company's return to potentially unsustainable spending it embarked on in the years when money was cheap.</p><p>However, that era is expected to be well and truly over as interest rates surge, possibly normalizing at much higher levels. Notwithstanding its market share leadership, Shopee was threatened by TikTok's (BDNCE) attempt to disrupt its business model with its social commerce-driven e-commerce strategy.</p><p>Sea Limited investors received a respite from the Indonesian government in early October, as Indonesia swiftly banned the ability of TikTok and their social media peers to combine direct e-commerce payments on their platforms. The move was intended to protect Indonesia's micro, small, and medium enterprises, or MSMEs, as they dealt with the disruption from TikTok's merchants.</p><p>Analysts lauded the move as helping to lower the impetus for TikTok to chip away at the market leadership of Sea Limited and its e-commerce peers. As a result, the need for sustained shipping subsidies in Shopee's most crucial market could be reduced. However, it's critical to note that the Indonesian market represented about 25% of its total GMV. Excluding Indonesia, the region likely accounted for 40% of Shopee's total GMV, suggesting investors shouldn't rejoice just yet.</p><p>TikTok's growing ambitions in the US suggest that the company isn't afraid to tackle e-commerce behemoth Amazon (AMZN) in its most important market. Its ability to drive e-commerce spending through its social media network moat is a significant competitive advantage that Shoppe could find very hard to defend against. I must recognize that TikTok is a formidable competitor supported by a profitable parent, ByteDance, who seems determined to disrupt what used to be the disruptor in the region: Shopee.</p><h2 id=\"id_4277693492\">Is SE Stock A Buy?</h2><p>Sea Limited investors could point out that the company is not just about Shopee. Its gaming arm and its fintech segment are also crucial growth drivers. However, it's essential to recognize that Shopee is expected to remain the company's most important growth driver in the short- and medium-term. With SE valued as a growth stock (assigned an "A-" growth grade and a "D" valuation grade by Seeking Alpha Quant), the company needs a coherent and sustainable strategy to fend off TikTok's threat.</p><p>However, I'm not sure what Sea Limited could muster as it's clear that investors no longer fancy massive spending to justify its market share gains. In other words, investors want Sea Limited to move away from those subsidies. However, TikTok's network effect moat has been built up with such ferocity and determination that it has a sustainable advantage that Sea Limited could find incredibly challenging to defend against.</p><p>While I'm assured that SE wasn't battered below the $35 level decisively after its August re-test, I've much less confidence in the company's ability to recover SE's malaise from here. In a high-interest rate environment, with a determined and capable competitor like TikTok, Shopee is looking increasingly more like the disrupted in time to come. With SE still valued at a premium, it could be dead money at best (in a consolidation zone). I am looking to cut my exposure substantially as I intend to rotate my funds to higher-quality moaty stocks.</p><p>Remember, we aren't likely heading back to the era of "free" money, which was the foundation of Shopee's unsustainable spending.</p><p><em>Rating: Downgraded to Hold.</em></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>Sea Limited: Dead Money At Best - Time To Move On (Rating Downgrade)</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\">\nSea Limited: Dead Money At Best - Time To Move On (Rating Downgrade)\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-11-13 09:10 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4650883-sea-earnings-preview-dead-money-time-to-move-rating-downgrade><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Sea Limited's upcoming earnings conference will scrutinize how the company intends to fend off TikTok's significant competitive threat.Analysts will also assess Shopee's Singles' Day sales momentum as...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4650883-sea-earnings-preview-dead-money-time-to-move-rating-downgrade\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"SE":"Sea Ltd"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4650883-sea-earnings-preview-dead-money-time-to-move-rating-downgrade","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2382474347","content_text":"Sea Limited's upcoming earnings conference will scrutinize how the company intends to fend off TikTok's significant competitive threat.Analysts will also assess Shopee's Singles' Day sales momentum as Southeast Asia's growth continues to slow.Notwithstanding the recent respite as TikTok's ambitions stalled in Indonesia, the battle is still ongoing in other markets.

On that matter of sustainability, investors' hugely negative reaction in Q2 largely resulted from the company's return to potentially unsustainable spending it embarked on in the years when money was cheap.However, that era is expected to be well and truly over as interest rates surge, possibly normalizing at much higher levels. Notwithstanding its market share leadership, Shopee was threatened by TikTok's (BDNCE) attempt to disrupt its business model with its social commerce-driven e-commerce strategy.Sea Limited investors received a respite from the Indonesian government in early October, as Indonesia swiftly banned the ability of TikTok and their social media peers to combine direct e-commerce payments on their platforms. The move was intended to protect Indonesia's micro, small, and medium enterprises, or MSMEs, as they dealt with the disruption from TikTok's merchants.Analysts lauded the move as helping to lower the impetus for TikTok to chip away at the market leadership of Sea Limited and its e-commerce peers. As a result, the need for sustained shipping subsidies in Shopee's most crucial market could be reduced. However, it's critical to note that the Indonesian market represented about 25% of its total GMV. Excluding Indonesia, the region likely accounted for 40% of Shopee's total GMV, suggesting investors shouldn't rejoice just yet.TikTok's growing ambitions in the US suggest that the company isn't afraid to tackle e-commerce behemoth Amazon (AMZN) in its most important market. Its ability to drive e-commerce spending through its social media network moat is a significant competitive advantage that Shoppe could find very hard to defend against. I must recognize that TikTok is a formidable competitor supported by a profitable parent, ByteDance, who seems determined to disrupt what used to be the disruptor in the region: Shopee.Is SE Stock A Buy?Sea Limited investors could point out that the company is not just about Shopee. Its gaming arm and its fintech segment are also crucial growth drivers. However, it's essential to recognize that Shopee is expected to remain the company's most important growth driver in the short- and medium-term. With SE valued as a growth stock (assigned an \"A-\" growth grade and a \"D\" valuation grade by Seeking Alpha Quant), the company needs a coherent and sustainable strategy to fend off TikTok's threat.However, I'm not sure what Sea Limited could muster as it's clear that investors no longer fancy massive spending to justify its market share gains. In other words, investors want Sea Limited to move away from those subsidies. However, TikTok's network effect moat has been built up with such ferocity and determination that it has a sustainable advantage that Sea Limited could find incredibly challenging to defend against.While I'm assured that SE wasn't battered below the $35 level decisively after its August re-test, I've much less confidence in the company's ability to recover SE's malaise from here. In a high-interest rate environment, with a determined and capable competitor like TikTok, Shopee is looking increasingly more like the disrupted in time to come. With SE still valued at a premium, it could be dead money at best (in a consolidation zone). I am looking to cut my exposure substantially as I intend to rotate my funds to higher-quality moaty stocks.Remember, we aren't likely heading back to the era of \"free\" money, which was the foundation of Shopee's unsustainable spending.Rating: Downgraded to Hold.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":149,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":201369778434256,"gmtCreate":1690189923670,"gmtModify":1690189927269,"author":{"id":"3575949343225606","authorId":"3575949343225606","name":"Kekemon","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/acc569fb2b4b8cb1641acae354a1df48","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Better crash it.

(NASDAQ:TSLA), we can expect TSLA's growth and profitability to suffer. That means that TSLA's P/E and PEG likely will come down. The way that is accomplished is by a falling price for TSLA stock. That is exactly what is happening, as you can see on the chart below.</p><p>Tesla is in a bear market looking for a bottom, not unlike the overall market, as represented by SPDR® S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY). The overvaluation of the mega-cap stocks that move the SPY higher continues. When the recession comes, these overvalued stocks should drop to the levels of last October, if not lower, especially TSLA with a Beta of 2. You can see the SPY breakout on the chart below, and we think this is the last hurrah for the October bounce. When the SPY turns down, it should take TSLA with it.</p><p>Everyone knows the growth cycle. The new company is growing like crazy and then the competition comes alive. The growth begins to slow, especially as the company becomes larger and larger. Finally it morphs from growth to value, a blue chip paying dividends. TSLA has moved from being aggressive growth to slower growth, but with a long runway still ahead of it. The only problem with that picture is that it is overvalued and price has to come down. Then there was the dumping of stock on the market so Elon could buy Twitter. Increased supply brings price down. Plus, institutional ownership of TSLA stock is a very low 44%.</p><p>All of this is well known by the market and can be seen in price trends. The short, intermediate, and long-term price trends are down and price is continuing a downward movement. You can see this on the chart below. The 200-day moving average, long-term trend is down. So is the intermediate 50-day trend and the short term 20-day trend moving average. TSLA is underperforming the market, and portfolio managers are dumping it because it is hurting their performance. You cannot beat the Index by holding underperforming stocks. However, bottom fishers do buy underperforming stocks like TSLA if the price is low enough.</p><p>Now, if TSLA could beat all the competition and maintain its aggressive growth in the future, that would change the downtrends. If its earnings revisions improved dramatically, that would change the downtrends. However, the market right now does not see that happening for TSLA and that is why price continues to drop. Great company, great profits, ahead of the competition, but how long will that last in such a competitive industry? TSLA is going to lose market share and the market is trying to compute how fast that is going to happen and how to value TSLA stock accordingly. Right now it thinks the price is too high. The charts show price dropping for that reason.</p><p>In our previous article, we showed the downtrends and the sell signal after earnings. When price gapped down after earnings, the bargain hunters came in and took the price back up, filling the gap down. This is classical technical movement of price. TSLA is in a downtrend, but it is not going to dive to the bottom. It is moving down in a very orderly manner to the next support level and then bouncing as the bargain hunters come in again. Then it goes down lower than before, forming the classical lower-high and lower-low in price until it finally hits bottom.</p><p>You can see the last bottom was $102 and you can see price moving in a slow, and orderly manner, back down to retest that price. As noted above, any improvement in growth, earnings revisions and profit margins would change the outcome. We don't think that happens. We see the growing competition taking market share from TSLA. The competition has shown that they are willing to lose money to catch up with TSLA.</p><p>Technically, we look for bounces in prices to change our Sell Signals. In the case of TSLA, we can see that the current bounce has not changed our Sell Signal, which uses both technicals and fundamentals. When this happens on a bounce, that becomes a confirmation of the Sell Signal and we expect the stock to move lower. That is what you can see on this weekly chart below:</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2e4ff653f9f3ba4cd18dd5631fbee0fd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"884\"/></p><p>TSLA bounce fails to change sell signals. (stockcharts.com)</p><p></p><p>Meanwhile the market has recently helped the TSLA stock price, along with the Musk interview. As you can see on the SPY chart below, there is a positive breakout above $420. This was caused by positive, no-default talk, but on Friday negotiations broke down and the SPY dropped below $420 looking for support at $415.

(NASDAQ:TSLA), we can expect TSLA's growth and profitability to suffer. That means that TSLA's P/E and PEG likely will come down. The way that is accomplished is by a falling price for TSLA stock. That is exactly what is happening, as you can see on the chart below.Tesla is in a bear market looking for a bottom, not unlike the overall market, as represented by SPDR® S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY). The overvaluation of the mega-cap stocks that move the SPY higher continues. When the recession comes, these overvalued stocks should drop to the levels of last October, if not lower, especially TSLA with a Beta of 2. You can see the SPY breakout on the chart below, and we think this is the last hurrah for the October bounce. When the SPY turns down, it should take TSLA with it.Everyone knows the growth cycle. The new company is growing like crazy and then the competition comes alive. The growth begins to slow, especially as the company becomes larger and larger. Finally it morphs from growth to value, a blue chip paying dividends. TSLA has moved from being aggressive growth to slower growth, but with a long runway still ahead of it. The only problem with that picture is that it is overvalued and price has to come down. Then there was the dumping of stock on the market so Elon could buy Twitter. Increased supply brings price down. Plus, institutional ownership of TSLA stock is a very low 44%.All of this is well known by the market and can be seen in price trends. The short, intermediate, and long-term price trends are down and price is continuing a downward movement. You can see this on the chart below. The 200-day moving average, long-term trend is down. So is the intermediate 50-day trend and the short term 20-day trend moving average. TSLA is underperforming the market, and portfolio managers are dumping it because it is hurting their performance. You cannot beat the Index by holding underperforming stocks. However, bottom fishers do buy underperforming stocks like TSLA if the price is low enough.Now, if TSLA could beat all the competition and maintain its aggressive growth in the future, that would change the downtrends. If its earnings revisions improved dramatically, that would change the downtrends. However, the market right now does not see that happening for TSLA and that is why price continues to drop. Great company, great profits, ahead of the competition, but how long will that last in such a competitive industry? TSLA is going to lose market share and the market is trying to compute how fast that is going to happen and how to value TSLA stock accordingly. Right now it thinks the price is too high. The charts show price dropping for that reason.In our previous article, we showed the downtrends and the sell signal after earnings. When price gapped down after earnings, the bargain hunters came in and took the price back up, filling the gap down. This is classical technical movement of price. TSLA is in a downtrend, but it is not going to dive to the bottom. It is moving down in a very orderly manner to the next support level and then bouncing as the bargain hunters come in again. Then it goes down lower than before, forming the classical lower-high and lower-low in price until it finally hits bottom.You can see the last bottom was $102 and you can see price moving in a slow, and orderly manner, back down to retest that price. As noted above, any improvement in growth, earnings revisions and profit margins would change the outcome. We don't think that happens. We see the growing competition taking market share from TSLA. The competition has shown that they are willing to lose money to catch up with TSLA.Technically, we look for bounces in prices to change our Sell Signals. In the case of TSLA, we can see that the current bounce has not changed our Sell Signal, which uses both technicals and fundamentals. When this happens on a bounce, that becomes a confirmation of the Sell Signal and we expect the stock to move lower. That is what you can see on this weekly chart below:TSLA bounce fails to change sell signals. (stockcharts.com)Meanwhile the market has recently helped the TSLA stock price, along with the Musk interview. As you can see on the SPY chart below, there is a positive breakout above $420. This was caused by positive, no-default talk, but on Friday negotiations broke down and the SPY dropped below $420 looking for support at $415. On Sunday, Biden was on TV about negotiations and in touch with McCarthy.Here is the daily SPY chart, and it still is holding on to our vertical, blue line buy signal. That could change with further bad news on the debt ceiling negotiations.SPY drops on debt ceiling news (stockcharts.com)","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":133,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9952137630,"gmtCreate":1674522190621,"gmtModify":1676538944614,"author":{"id":"3575949343225606","authorId":"3575949343225606","name":"Kekemon","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/acc569fb2b4b8cb1641acae354a1df48","crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I will all in now.","listText":"I will all in now.","text":"I will all in now.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9952137630","repostId":"2304155617","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":101,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
