Even though Gonzalez Rogers said Apple doesn’t have monopoly power, she said the company “is near the precipice of substantial market power, or monopoly power.” The judge also wrote that Apple failed to justify the 30% commission it charges on transactions.\n“There’s a lot here to encourage an enforcer depending on what their investigation looks like,” said Sam Weinstein, who teaches antitrust law at Cardozo School of Law and is a former lawyer at the Justice Department’s antitrust division. “If I’m the government, I don’t look at this and think we’re out of business.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":273,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":888154266,"gmtCreate":1631462048655,"gmtModify":1676530551751,"author":{"id":"3576027952605838","authorId":"3576027952605838","name":"Jameslky1","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3cbe4d8cb2765489cecf6ce00fb3235d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I m not sure","listText":"I m not sure","text":"I m not sure","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/888154266","repostId":"2166290377","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2166290377","pubTimestamp":1631415840,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2166290377?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-12 11:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Should You Buy Peloton Before It Goes Back Up?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2166290377","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"With supply now able to keep up with demand, Peloton has a plan to boost profit margins.","content":"<p>Many investors have a hard time avoiding what's called price anchoring.

SPCE stock recently peaked at a close of $55.91 on Jun. 25. However, it soon tumbled to as low as $24.25 on Aug. 19. In fact, as of Sept. 7, it only closed somewhat higher at $24.61. I would not expect SPCE stock to move significantly higher for a while.</p>\n<p>That’s in part because Virgin Galactic reported&nbsp;second-quarter losses&nbsp;on Aug. 5. Plus, it will almost certainly face further losses. This is one reason why the company recently raised another $500 million in cash.</p>\n<p>Here’s what you should know about SPCE stock going forward.</p>\n<p><b>SPCE Stock: Where Things Stand</b></p>\n<p>Virgin Galactic reported $571,000 in revenue for Q2, but net income losses of around $94 million. Moreover, for the six months ending Jun. 30, it used up $113.47 million in operating cash flow. After $1.647 million in capital expenditures (capex spending), the total free cash flow (FCF) burn during the period was $115.12 million.</p>\n<p>Given that cash burn during Q1 was&nbsp;$49.588 million, this implies that the Q2 negative FCF was higher at $63.88 million. That puts the company on an annual run rate cash burn of over $255 million. Considering it had just $616.6 million in cash at the end of March, it’s easy to see why Virgin recently did another cash raise by selling SPCE stock.</p>\n<p>However, now that the company is starting open up its flights at$450,000 per seat, it is possible that it won’t run out of cash anytime soon. But don’t forget, Virgin Galactic probably has to keep its client cash in a restricted account — and likely can only appropriate that cash as each flight succeeds with a safe landing.</p>\n<p><b>Will the FAA Approve More Flights?</b></p>\n<p>According to arecent article&nbsp;in&nbsp;<i>The New Yorker</i>, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating the space tourism company’s flight into space in July. This was the flight that Richard Branson was on board for and the company’s first space flight with passengers.</p>\n<p>So, why is the FAA looking further into that July expedition? Apparently, Virgin’s spacecraft deviated from its registered and Air-Traffic-Control cleared flight path. The company told<i>The New Yorker</i>that it didn’t immediately inform the FAA that, for one minute and 41 seconds, the spacecraft had flown outside of the designated area. On top of this,<i>Seeking Alpha</i>noted the following about<i>The New Yorker</i>&nbsp;article:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “\n <i>The New Yorker</i>&nbsp;highlighted Virgin Galactic’s lackadaisical processes and procedures, noting that it fired a flight-test director who raised concerns about the space program’s safety.”\n</blockquote>\n<p>Reports indicate that Virgin Galactic&nbsp;uses human controls&nbsp;for various procedures and systems. Meanwhile,<b>Blue Origin</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>SpaceX</b>&nbsp;have automated these processes. These loose issues could potentially throw some wrenches into new approvals and at the least hold up scheduled flight plans in the future. That would certainly damage SPCE stock.</p>\n<p><b>What to Do with SPCE Stock</b></p>\n<p>Analysts are still very positive on SPCE stock. For example,<i>Yahoo! Finance</i>&nbsp;shows 11 analysts&nbsp;with an average price target of $34.82. That represents a potential gain of around 41%. The same is true with<i>Seeking Alpha</i>, whose survey of 11 analysts shows an average price target of&nbsp;$34.09, or a little over 38% higher. Lastly,<i>Tiprank</i>&nbsp;<i>s</i>cites 11 analysts with an average target of&nbsp;$36.30, more than 47% higher.</p>\n<p>So, everyone is in agreement — SPCE is likely to rise. But the only problem is the company is losing money at a high rate. Plus, when it will be able to fly in the future is still unclear.</p>\n<p>In a sense, then, investors are basically gambling with this stock. If you have no problem with making an investment on a speculative basis, then maybe SPCE is for you. That said, Virgin Galactic could have a number of both foreseen and unforeseen risks to deal with in the future.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","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>Virgin Galactic May Continue to Post Losses Before It Flies Higher</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\">\nVirgin Galactic May Continue to Post Losses Before It Flies Higher\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-09 11:40 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/09/spce-stock-virgin-galactic-post-more-losses-before-flying-higher/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE) is not that much of a bargain even though it faltered slightly last month.

SPCE stock recently peaked at a close of $55.91 on Jun. 25. However, it soon tumbled to as low as $24.25 on Aug. 19. In fact, as of Sept. 7, it only closed somewhat higher at $24.61. I would not expect SPCE stock to move significantly higher for a while.\nThat’s in part because Virgin Galactic reported second-quarter losses on Aug. 5. Plus, it will almost certainly face further losses. This is one reason why the company recently raised another $500 million in cash.\nHere’s what you should know about SPCE stock going forward.\nSPCE Stock: Where Things Stand\nVirgin Galactic reported $571,000 in revenue for Q2, but net income losses of around $94 million. Moreover, for the six months ending Jun. 30, it used up $113.47 million in operating cash flow. After $1.647 million in capital expenditures (capex spending), the total free cash flow (FCF) burn during the period was $115.12 million.\nGiven that cash burn during Q1 was $49.588 million, this implies that the Q2 negative FCF was higher at $63.88 million. That puts the company on an annual run rate cash burn of over $255 million. Considering it had just $616.6 million in cash at the end of March, it’s easy to see why Virgin recently did another cash raise by selling SPCE stock.\nHowever, now that the company is starting open up its flights at$450,000 per seat, it is possible that it won’t run out of cash anytime soon. But don’t forget, Virgin Galactic probably has to keep its client cash in a restricted account — and likely can only appropriate that cash as each flight succeeds with a safe landing.\nWill the FAA Approve More Flights?\nAccording to arecent article in The New Yorker, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating the space tourism company’s flight into space in July. This was the flight that Richard Branson was on board for and the company’s first space flight with passengers.\nSo, why is the FAA looking further into that July expedition? Apparently, Virgin’s spacecraft deviated from its registered and Air-Traffic-Control cleared flight path. The company toldThe New Yorkerthat it didn’t immediately inform the FAA that, for one minute and 41 seconds, the spacecraft had flown outside of the designated area. On top of this,Seeking Alphanoted the following aboutThe New Yorker article:\n\n “\n The New Yorker highlighted Virgin Galactic’s lackadaisical processes and procedures, noting that it fired a flight-test director who raised concerns about the space program’s safety.”\n\nReports indicate that Virgin Galactic uses human controls for various procedures and systems. Meanwhile,Blue Origin and SpaceX have automated these processes. These loose issues could potentially throw some wrenches into new approvals and at the least hold up scheduled flight plans in the future. That would certainly damage SPCE stock.\nWhat to Do with SPCE Stock\nAnalysts are still very positive on SPCE stock. For example,Yahoo! Finance shows 11 analysts with an average price target of $34.82. That represents a potential gain of around 41%. The same is true withSeeking Alpha, whose survey of 11 analysts shows an average price target of $34.09, or a little over 38% higher. Lastly,Tiprank scites 11 analysts with an average target of $36.30, more than 47% higher.\nSo, everyone is in agreement — SPCE is likely to rise. But the only problem is the company is losing money at a high rate. Plus, when it will be able to fly in the future is still unclear.\nIn a sense, then, investors are basically gambling with this stock. If you have no problem with making an investment on a speculative basis, then maybe SPCE is for you. That said, Virgin Galactic could have a number of both foreseen and unforeseen risks to deal with in the future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":580,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":889553381,"gmtCreate":1631161136443,"gmtModify":1676530483993,"author":{"id":"3576027952605838","authorId":"3576027952605838","name":"Jameslky1","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3cbe4d8cb2765489cecf6ce00fb3235d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy both","listText":"Buy both","text":"Buy both","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/889553381","repostId":"1158905975","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1158905975","pubTimestamp":1631160341,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1158905975?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-09 12:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Fisker Vs NIO: Which EV Stock Is The Better Buy?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1158905975","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"Summary\n\nImproving battery technology, greater charging infrastructure availability, and increasing ","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Improving battery technology, greater charging infrastructure availability, and increasing price parity with ICE vehicles have supercharged electric vehicle (“EV”) adoption in recent years.</li>\n <li>Global EV sales have surged by over 40% in 2020, and are poised to reach newer heights this year, making it an exciting investment opportunity.</li>\n <li>But the growing number of EV stocks, ranging from established EV makers to pre-revenue start-ups, have made it increasingly difficult to determine which makes a better investment.</li>\n <li>A similar investment dilemma applies to NIO and Fisker, with one being a leading EV brand in China, and the other still in pre-revenue and pre-production phase.</li>\n <li>While our outlook remains bullish on both stocks, we believe NIO makes a higher-growth long-term investment due to the increasing value ascribed to its proprietary technology, including battery swaps and autonomous driving.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ce9e6240d6fd9622f36cd021340e6c90\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1152\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Andy Feng/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>Improving battery technology, greater charging infrastructure availability, and increasing price parity with ICE vehicles have supercharged electric vehicle (“EV”) adoption in recent years. The EV industry has emerged as one of the fastest-growing segments of the 21stcentury – while global car sales suffered from an unprecedented slump during 2020 due to COVID-related lockdowns and economic uncertainty,EV sales surged by over 40%&nbsp;from 2019. And EV sales are poised to&nbsp;reach newer heights&nbsp;this year, making it an exciting investment opportunity that many have set their eyes on.</p>\n<p>But the growing number of options, ranging from established EV makers to pre-revenue early-stage EV start-ups, have made it increasingly difficult to determine which makes a higher growth investment. A similar investment dilemma applies to NIO (NIO) and Fisker (FSR), where the former has already emerged as one of the leading EV brands in China with ongoing plans for overseas expansion, while the latter is still in testing phase for its first vehicle. In our most recent coverage of&nbsp;NIO&nbsp;and&nbsp;Fisker, we have assigned both companies a buy signal. Although the 12-month price targets we have set for both stocks would indicate that Fisker exhibits similar upside potential in the near-term, we believe NIO would generate a better risk-return tradeoff over the long-run due to the increasing value of its innovative technology developments. NIO also makes a safer investment considering its EVs and proprietary battery swapping technology have already been tried and tested with proven demand in both China and Europe.</p>\n<p><b>NIO’s Advantage with Innovation, Overseas Expansion, and a Differentiated Business Model</b></p>\n<p>In the span of just a little over three years, NIO has grown into one of the largest EV brands in China with more than 130,000 vehicles sold to date. Although delivery volumes have slowed in recent months due to ongoing volatility of global chip supply, NIO has continued to achieve strong double-digit year-over-year sales growth. New orders have also been consistently reaching all-time highs on a monthly basis, underpinning significant sales growth ahead as demand continues to ramp up rapidly.</p>\n<p><b>Sales Boost by Innovation</b></p>\n<p>In addition to its diversified line-up of fully battery-powered EVs, NIO is best known for their development of battery swapping technology, in-vehicle artificial intelligence and autonomous driving.Its innovative accomplishments achieved to date are a testament to its vision of expanding beyond the horizons of just building electric cars, but also a comprehensive ecosystem that is driven by technology.</p>\n<p>Most recently, NIO announced the addition of a&nbsp;150 kWh solid-state battery pack&nbsp;to its current line-up of swappable batteries. NIO currently offers swappable 70 kWh and 100 kWh battery packs, which already enable a range capability of 300 miles and 435 miles, respectively. The newest 150 kWh solid-state battery pack, which is expected to enter commercial use in Q4 2022, will deliver range capability of more than 450 miles for the first-generation ES8 SUVs, and up to 620 miles for the newer and more efficient models. This would top current record-holder&nbsp;Lucid Motors’(LCID) range capability of 517 miles on a single charge. Paired with its proprietary battery swapping technology, which can switch a dead battery out for a fully charged one in under three minutes, NIO answers to two of the biggest roadblocks to global EV adoption – range anxiety and long charge times.</p>\n<p>Although the average commute is typically less than 40 miles per day, most drivers have indicated a&nbsp;preference for EVs with higher range capability&nbsp;to preserve the “peace of mind” they have gotten used to with ICE vehicles. Charge time and charging infrastructure availability have also proven to be other critical considerations in the EV purchasing decision. Most Tesla owners have credited the accessible network of Supercharger fast-charging stations for their respective purchasing decisions, underpinning&nbsp;Tesla’s(TSLA) success in becoming the industry leader over the years. And NIO’s proprietary battery swapping technology enables the same growth prospects. In addition to its network of over 200 fast-charging&nbsp;Power Charger&nbsp;stations across China, NIO has also installed more than 300 Power Swap stations across the country, with a commitment to build&nbsp;4,000 more globally by 2025. NIO also one-ups Tesla by offering “Battery as a Service” (“BaaS”), which is a monthly subscription service that provides NIO owners with flexible options for battery upgrades based on personal budgets and travel needs. The increasing availability of its charging infrastructure, combined with the additional price-friendly and flexible battery options make NIO well-positioned to capture a larger share of the EV market in the long-run.</p>\n<p><b>Increasing Global Market Share</b></p>\n<p>The Chinese EV maker is also on track to making its Norway debut in a few weeks. Its first shipment of the ES8 to the new market has already arrived, and NIO has started offering test drives since August 30th&nbsp;in preparation for the grand opening of its first NIO House and delivery center overseas on&nbsp;September 23rd. The build-out of NIO’s sales and service network in Norway will continue into 2022, with four more locations to open across Bergen, Stavanger, Trondheim and Kristansand. In addition to the NIO House, the EV maker will also be deploying its proprietary swap stations across Norway, staying true to its commitment to offering NIO owners with a range-anxiety-free driving experience.</p>\n<p>NIO’s newest technological developments will also underpin its expansion plans across Europe, as the region continues to be one of the largest EV markets in the world, following closely behind China’s. The European Commission’s recent tightening of theiremissions standardsandemissions reduction targetsis expected to further accelerate mass-market EV adoption across the broader European markets in coming years, making NIO’s recent entry to the region a well-timed move. EV demand in Europe is expected to surge at a compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 25.4% towards amarket value of more than $143 billionthrough to 2027. And passenger EV makers like NIO are poised to be the largest beneficiaries. The passenger cars segment currently accounts for more than 80% of the European EV market, and is expected remain the leading driver of growth within the industry through to the end of the decade. In order to further its capitalization of the growing opportunities in Europe, NIO has recently hired a new CEO to lead NIO’s European operations, and is currently planning additional expansion into other regions includingGermanyandAmsterdam.</p>\n<p>Following its expansion into Europe, NIO also plans to step foot into the U.S. EV market. A recent interview by NIO’s founder and CEO, William Li, hints at the possibility of materializing its U.S. expansion plans within the ten-year horizon. Although U.S. EV sales currently lag behind China’s and Europe’s by a wide margin, the Biden administration’s recent push for electrification of the transportation sector makes the U.S. an opportunity-filled market with EV adoption rates to surge in the latter half of the decade. Preliminary estimates show that U.S. EV sales could grow at a CAGR of up to 30% towards a total of18 million EVs on American roadsby the end of the decade, representing approximately14% of projected global EV sales. These growth trends make strong tailwinds for NIO, with its potential entry into the U.S. market to coincide with the American EV market’s prime time.</p>\n<p><b>Growing via Horizontal Expansion</b></p>\n<p>The coming year is expected to be pivotal for NIO as it taps into the broader global market with new cars, a separate brand, and strategic investments into rival brands. During the second quarter earnings call, NIO announced the launch of two new EV models in addition to the previously announced ET7 sedan in 2022; one of which will become NIO’s lowest-priced offering. The EV maker also unveiled plans for a separate brand that will offer more affordably priced vehicles to drive higher mass-market appeal. The two newly announced strategies will be complementary to NIO’s near-term plans of expanding its presence in China’s smaller “Tier 3” cities, and competing head-on with Tesla’s best-selling Model Y/3.</p>\n<p>NIO has also recently made aninvestment contribution to Lotus Technology, the EV unit of iconic British sportscar-maker, Lotus. As part of the strategic partnership, both NIO and Lotus will collaborate in developing “high-end intelligent EVs” and facilitate Lotus’ planned roll-out of new EV models over the next five years. It will also enable profit sharing for NIO as competition continues to rise within the sector.</p>\n<p><b>Fisker’s Entry to the Capital-Intensive Sector with an Asset Lite Model</b></p>\n<p>In contrast to NIO’s established operations, Fisker’s production timeline continues to trail behind its peers with the flagship Ocean SUV still in testing phase. The company has recently reiterated its commitment to begin production of the Fisker Ocean in late 2022, with a full marketing campaign to roll-out in November. Aside from repeatedly confirming that the Ocean program is “on time and on budget”, the EV start-up has remained tight-lipped as usual on the vehicle’s technology and specs, with plans to reveal the production version of the vehicle at the LA Auto Show in November.</p>\n<p><b>Pre-Launch Momentum</b></p>\n<p>To date, Fisker has secured over 17,500 reservations for the Ocean SUV. Considering each reservation is priced at $250, and only 90% refundable if cancelled, the volume of reservations acquired to date is a testament of strong public interest in the vehicle, given there has not been any information released on its technological capabilities yet. The pre-revenue EV start-up is aiming to acquire at least 25,000 reservations for the Fisker Ocean by the end of the year, with another 50,000 in 2022 to ensure a sell-out in 2023. The company has also turned to opportunities within the commercial landscape by acquiring fleet orders fromCredit Agricole Consumer Finance,Ontocar subscription services, andViggoride-hailing services. The achievements underscore its ability to ramp effectively once the Ocean SUV enters production phase in about 15 months.</p>\n<p>Like NIO and other rising EV start-ups, Fisker intends to adopt a direct sales strategy to maximize customer experience. Currently, Fisker plans to sell the Ocean in the U.S. and certain countries across Europe, including the U.K., Germany, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, first. And once additional models roll-out, the EV maker will likely make an entry into additional markets across Asia, including thefastest-growing Chinese market and India. Although specific details on its global expansion timeline are limited, Fisker’s international aspirations will be a critical factor to its long-term success.</p>\n<p><b>Asset Lite Business Model</b></p>\n<p>Similar to NIO, Fisker does not produce its vehicles in-house. Instead, the EV start-up implements an “asset lite” business model, which has bolstered its incredible strength in cost management – with the Ocean Program to be fully funded by the $1 billion proceeds from its SPAC merger last year, and only 15 months away from start of production, Fisker’s balance sheet still boasts a cash balance of more than $962 million. The asset lite business model helps Fisker bypass the capital-intensive nature of car-making by requiring it to co-develop its vehicles and platforms with renowned manufacturing partners and suppliers. And to avoid the typical cost inefficiencies that accompany outsourced manufacturing arrangements, Fisker ensures its production partners have “equal skin in the game” by either offering equity stake in the company or ensuring the project is a joint-venture investment. The carmaker has also been highly selective in the process of choosing its strategic partners, and only works with the most reputable and experienced in the industry to ensure quality control.</p>\n<p>The Ocean SUV will be manufactured by Magna, one of the largest auto manufacturers in the world. Together, the two companies have co-developed the FM 29 platform that will drive the Ocean SUV and additional EV models in the future. In exchange, Magna is offered a 6% stake in Fisker, exercisable through achievement of “interrelated performance conditions” (pg. 97 of the2020 10K). Magna has also opened several Fisker-dedicated operational areas at the carbon-neutral facility in Graz, Austria to facilitate theirlong-term manufacturing agreementthrough to 2029. The facilities will allocate annual production capacity of well over 100,000 vehicles at full ramp up to Fisker.</p>\n<p>In addition to the Ocean SUV, Fisker is also working with Foxconn on the production of their second model,PEAR, and its underlying FP 28 platform. The unique deal structure requires Foxconn to provide investments in areas related to the manufacturing process and the technology supply chain, while Fisker will lead on the design process, product development and go-to-market strategies. The PEAR is expected to be a new-segment vehicle that will “revolutionize” the electric vehicle driving experience. The new vehicle is scheduled to enter production in late 2023, with a price tag of $30,000 before tax incentives. Fisker and Foxconn are currently finalizing plans on amanufacturing site in the U.S.that could handle a production capacity of up to 150,000 units annually. And in the long-run, the partners plan to manufacture and sell at least 250,000 units of the PEAR per year globally upon full production ramp up.</p>\n<p>Aside from its production partners, Fisker has also forged strategic partnerships with critical component suppliers and after-sales service providers.Bridgestone Tireshas recently been selected as the exclusive tire partner for the Fisker Ocean, while another undisclosed battery cell manufacturer, who is one of the five largest in the world, will supply the battery packs.Sharphas also been engaged as the designated developer and supplier of interior display systems for up to four Fisker EV models. As for after-sales service partners, Fisker has recently made a $10 million private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) supporting the upcoming reverse merger ofAllego, a European EV charging network, with Spartan Acquisition Corp, III. The strategic investment will pave the way for efficient access to charging infrastructure for Fisker customers in Europe, a critical element in attracting sales and growing its market share. Fisker has also madeElectrify Americaits official charging partner for the U.S. market. The partnership will offer Fisker vehicle owners with exclusive package rates across more than 3,500 Electrify America chargers in the U.S. Other after-sales service partners include theMekonomen GroupandCox Automotive and Rivus Fleet Solutions, which will facilitate Fisker’s logistics and maintenance services in Europe.</p>\n<p><b>Financial ProspectsNIO</b></p>\n<p>Despite NIO’s recent decision to adjust its third-quarter delivery guidance from 23,000 to 25,000 vehicles down to 22,500 to 23,500 vehicles due to ongoing volatility of chip supply, we are expecting the company to keep progressing in line with ourearlier coverage. With close to 56,000 vehicles already delivered this year and new orders reaching an all-time high, NIO is expected to complete approximately 88,000 deliveries by the end of the year. This is expected to yield vehicle sales of RMB 32.6 billion ($5.0 billion) by the end of the year based on average vehicle revenue of RMB 367,000 ($56,635), which is consistent with NIO’s sales mix and pricing strategy observed in recent quarters. The projection also takes into consideration NIO’s upcoming debut in Norway, which will top-up on domestic sales growth expectations in the fourth quarter. Our base-case forecast projects NIO’s vehicle sales to further expand at a CAGR of 30.4% towards RMB 461.4 billion ($71.2 billion) by 2030. The growth assumption is consistent with global EV demand growth trends, as well as NIO’s historical performance and ongoing market share expansion initiatives.</p>\n<p>NIO’s achievements in battery and autonomous driving technology enhancement will also underpin growth in its other sales revenues. Other sales revenues, which are primarily generated from BaaS and “Autonomous Driving as a Service” (“ADaaS”), are expected to grow in line with vehicle sales at a CAGR of 30.0% from RMB 2.3 billion ($352.1 million) by the end of the year to RMB 31.5 billion ($4.9 billion) by 2030.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/18d9287432802922a3c8c4a9e7cfab94\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"208\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Author, with data from our internal financial forecast (NIO_-_Forecasted_Financial_Information.pdf).</span></p>\n<p>NIO’s net losses are expected to further narrow towards 2024 as margins continue to expand with sales ramp up and scale.

With the Fisker Ocean’s middle-trim priced between $50,000 to $55,000 expected to be the best-seller, the flagship SUV is forecasted to generate $2.1 billion of revenues for the carmaker in 2023. And based on ramped-up production capacity of at least 5,000 units per month starting in 2023, we are projecting sales of at least 60,000 units of the Fisker Ocean by 2024, totaling $3.3 billion in projected revenues. Ocean sales are forecasted to grow further at a CAGR of 22.5% towards $11.1 billion by 2030. The growth assumption is consistent with Fisker’s intentions to expand into Asia-Pacific regions in the long-run, as well as&nbsp;market expectations on the rise of global EV demand.</p>\n<p>The PEAR model, which is expected to commence production and deliveries in late 2023, is forecasted to add an additional $1.8 billion to revenues in 2024. With aspirations to produce and sellat least 250,000 unitsof the PEAR annually in the long-run, Fisker is expected to generate PEAR revenues of $6.1 billion by the end of the decade. This accordingly translates to PEAR revenue growth at a CAGR of 22.5% from 2024 to 2030, which is consistent with Fisker’s sales guidance per itsInvestor Presentationand global EV market growth trends.</p>\n<p>Fisker also plans to launch two more vehicles in addition to the Ocean and PEAR before 2025. With a planned average sales price of $59,000 and a goal of selling 200,000 to 250,000 vehicles by the end of 2025, our base case forecast projects total revenues of $8.5 billion by then. Total revenues are expected to further expand at a CAGR of 25.6% towards $21.2 billion by 2030. Note that projected total revenues also include nominal merchandise sales of approximately $100,000 per year.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f6086733e59a4a20b8540494d0e688e2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"246\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Author, with data from our internal financial forecast.</span></p>\n<p>With Fisker’s margins to continuously improve after start of productions with cost-efficiencies enabled by its asset lite business model, our base-case forecast projects narrowing net losses from $380.0 million by the end of the year to $290.8 million by 2022. The EV start-up is expected to start realizing profits of $197.9 million starting in 2023, with further growth towards $774.3 million by 2025 when all four anticipated EV models enter production, and towards $1.95 billion by 2030.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9412fb3be94fd83ecc56715bc26b414a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"200\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts.

These projections represent upside potential of close to 48% for both stocks based on their last traded share price on September 3rd.</p>\n<p>We have performed a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis to determine the respective 12-month price targets for NIO and Fisker. Specifically, we have used projected free cash flows up to 2025 in the DCF analysis to reflect the valuation expectations on both companies’ near-term growth initiatives.</p>\n<p>For NIO’s valuation analysis, we have applied a WACC of 11.9% to discount the projected free cash flows. The valuation assumption is consistent with the company’s current risk profile, taking into consideration its highly leveraged balance sheet and recent volatility in its price performance given uncertainties over the Chinese regulatory landscape. The valuation analysis also assumes a 90.6x EV/EBITDA multiple, which reflects NIO’s achievements in proprietary technology development in addition to EV sales, as well as ongoing growth initiatives and business outlook. This compares to the EV/EBITDA range of 70.9x to 111.2x observed across its industry peers.</p>\n<p><i>i.

Although the company has largely remained debt-free with sufficient liquidity to complete the Ocean program, the company is a relatively riskier investment compared to NIO considering itisa pre-revenue and pre-production start-up. The WACC also considers Fisker’s recent announcement to fund the PEAR program with a new private debt offering of $625 million at 2.50% due in 2026. The valuation analysis assumes a 13.6x EV/EBITDA multiple, which is consistent with those of EV start-ups that are still in pre-revenue and testing phase, and have recently completed a reverse SPAC merger. The valuation multiple applied also reflects Fisker’s smaller scale of operations in terms of sales capacity, as well as technological developments in comparison to NIO and other established EV makers in the industry.</p>\n<p><i>ii.

The EV industry has emerged as one of the fastest-growing segments of the 21stcentury – while global car sales suffered from an unprecedented slump during 2020 due to COVID-related lockdowns and economic uncertainty,EV sales surged by over 40% from 2019. And EV sales are poised to reach newer heights this year, making it an exciting investment opportunity that many have set their eyes on.\nBut the growing number of options, ranging from established EV makers to pre-revenue early-stage EV start-ups, have made it increasingly difficult to determine which makes a higher growth investment. A similar investment dilemma applies to NIO (NIO) and Fisker (FSR), where the former has already emerged as one of the leading EV brands in China with ongoing plans for overseas expansion, while the latter is still in testing phase for its first vehicle. In our most recent coverage of NIO and Fisker, we have assigned both companies a buy signal. Although the 12-month price targets we have set for both stocks would indicate that Fisker exhibits similar upside potential in the near-term, we believe NIO would generate a better risk-return tradeoff over the long-run due to the increasing value of its innovative technology developments. NIO also makes a safer investment considering its EVs and proprietary battery swapping technology have already been tried and tested with proven demand in both China and Europe.\nNIO’s Advantage with Innovation, Overseas Expansion, and a Differentiated Business Model\nIn the span of just a little over three years, NIO has grown into one of the largest EV brands in China with more than 130,000 vehicles sold to date. Although delivery volumes have slowed in recent months due to ongoing volatility of global chip supply, NIO has continued to achieve strong double-digit year-over-year sales growth. New orders have also been consistently reaching all-time highs on a monthly basis, underpinning significant sales growth ahead as demand continues to ramp up rapidly.\nSales Boost by Innovation\nIn addition to its diversified line-up of fully battery-powered EVs, NIO is best known for their development of battery swapping technology, in-vehicle artificial intelligence and autonomous driving.Its innovative accomplishments achieved to date are a testament to its vision of expanding beyond the horizons of just building electric cars, but also a comprehensive ecosystem that is driven by technology.\nMost recently, NIO announced the addition of a 150 kWh solid-state battery pack to its current line-up of swappable batteries. NIO currently offers swappable 70 kWh and 100 kWh battery packs, which already enable a range capability of 300 miles and 435 miles, respectively. The newest 150 kWh solid-state battery pack, which is expected to enter commercial use in Q4 2022, will deliver range capability of more than 450 miles for the first-generation ES8 SUVs, and up to 620 miles for the newer and more efficient models. This would top current record-holder Lucid Motors’(LCID) range capability of 517 miles on a single charge. Paired with its proprietary battery swapping technology, which can switch a dead battery out for a fully charged one in under three minutes, NIO answers to two of the biggest roadblocks to global EV adoption – range anxiety and long charge times.\nAlthough the average commute is typically less than 40 miles per day, most drivers have indicated a preference for EVs with higher range capability to preserve the “peace of mind” they have gotten used to with ICE vehicles. Charge time and charging infrastructure availability have also proven to be other critical considerations in the EV purchasing decision. Most Tesla owners have credited the accessible network of Supercharger fast-charging stations for their respective purchasing decisions, underpinning Tesla’s(TSLA) success in becoming the industry leader over the years. And NIO’s proprietary battery swapping technology enables the same growth prospects. In addition to its network of over 200 fast-charging Power Charger stations across China, NIO has also installed more than 300 Power Swap stations across the country, with a commitment to build 4,000 more globally by 2025. NIO also one-ups Tesla by offering “Battery as a Service” (“BaaS”), which is a monthly subscription service that provides NIO owners with flexible options for battery upgrades based on personal budgets and travel needs. The increasing availability of its charging infrastructure, combined with the additional price-friendly and flexible battery options make NIO well-positioned to capture a larger share of the EV market in the long-run.\nIncreasing Global Market Share\nThe Chinese EV maker is also on track to making its Norway debut in a few weeks. Its first shipment of the ES8 to the new market has already arrived, and NIO has started offering test drives since August 30th in preparation for the grand opening of its first NIO House and delivery center overseas on September 23rd. The build-out of NIO’s sales and service network in Norway will continue into 2022, with four more locations to open across Bergen, Stavanger, Trondheim and Kristansand. In addition to the NIO House, the EV maker will also be deploying its proprietary swap stations across Norway, staying true to its commitment to offering NIO owners with a range-anxiety-free driving experience.\nNIO’s newest technological developments will also underpin its expansion plans across Europe, as the region continues to be one of the largest EV markets in the world, following closely behind China’s. The European Commission’s recent tightening of theiremissions standardsandemissions reduction targetsis expected to further accelerate mass-market EV adoption across the broader European markets in coming years, making NIO’s recent entry to the region a well-timed move. EV demand in Europe is expected to surge at a compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 25.4% towards amarket value of more than $143 billionthrough to 2027. And passenger EV makers like NIO are poised to be the largest beneficiaries. The passenger cars segment currently accounts for more than 80% of the European EV market, and is expected remain the leading driver of growth within the industry through to the end of the decade. In order to further its capitalization of the growing opportunities in Europe, NIO has recently hired a new CEO to lead NIO’s European operations, and is currently planning additional expansion into other regions includingGermanyandAmsterdam.\nFollowing its expansion into Europe, NIO also plans to step foot into the U.S. EV market. A recent interview by NIO’s founder and CEO, William Li, hints at the possibility of materializing its U.S. expansion plans within the ten-year horizon. Although U.S. EV sales currently lag behind China’s and Europe’s by a wide margin, the Biden administration’s recent push for electrification of the transportation sector makes the U.S. an opportunity-filled market with EV adoption rates to surge in the latter half of the decade. Preliminary estimates show that U.S. EV sales could grow at a CAGR of up to 30% towards a total of18 million EVs on American roadsby the end of the decade, representing approximately14% of projected global EV sales. These growth trends make strong tailwinds for NIO, with its potential entry into the U.S. market to coincide with the American EV market’s prime time.\nGrowing via Horizontal Expansion\nThe coming year is expected to be pivotal for NIO as it taps into the broader global market with new cars, a separate brand, and strategic investments into rival brands. During the second quarter earnings call, NIO announced the launch of two new EV models in addition to the previously announced ET7 sedan in 2022; one of which will become NIO’s lowest-priced offering. The EV maker also unveiled plans for a separate brand that will offer more affordably priced vehicles to drive higher mass-market appeal. The two newly announced strategies will be complementary to NIO’s near-term plans of expanding its presence in China’s smaller “Tier 3” cities, and competing head-on with Tesla’s best-selling Model Y/3.\nNIO has also recently made aninvestment contribution to Lotus Technology, the EV unit of iconic British sportscar-maker, Lotus. As part of the strategic partnership, both NIO and Lotus will collaborate in developing “high-end intelligent EVs” and facilitate Lotus’ planned roll-out of new EV models over the next five years. It will also enable profit sharing for NIO as competition continues to rise within the sector.\nFisker’s Entry to the Capital-Intensive Sector with an Asset Lite Model\nIn contrast to NIO’s established operations, Fisker’s production timeline continues to trail behind its peers with the flagship Ocean SUV still in testing phase. The company has recently reiterated its commitment to begin production of the Fisker Ocean in late 2022, with a full marketing campaign to roll-out in November. Aside from repeatedly confirming that the Ocean program is “on time and on budget”, the EV start-up has remained tight-lipped as usual on the vehicle’s technology and specs, with plans to reveal the production version of the vehicle at the LA Auto Show in November.\nPre-Launch Momentum\nTo date, Fisker has secured over 17,500 reservations for the Ocean SUV. Considering each reservation is priced at $250, and only 90% refundable if cancelled, the volume of reservations acquired to date is a testament of strong public interest in the vehicle, given there has not been any information released on its technological capabilities yet. The pre-revenue EV start-up is aiming to acquire at least 25,000 reservations for the Fisker Ocean by the end of the year, with another 50,000 in 2022 to ensure a sell-out in 2023. The company has also turned to opportunities within the commercial landscape by acquiring fleet orders fromCredit Agricole Consumer Finance,Ontocar subscription services, andViggoride-hailing services. The achievements underscore its ability to ramp effectively once the Ocean SUV enters production phase in about 15 months.\nLike NIO and other rising EV start-ups, Fisker intends to adopt a direct sales strategy to maximize customer experience. Currently, Fisker plans to sell the Ocean in the U.S. and certain countries across Europe, including the U.K., Germany, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, first. And once additional models roll-out, the EV maker will likely make an entry into additional markets across Asia, including thefastest-growing Chinese market and India. Although specific details on its global expansion timeline are limited, Fisker’s international aspirations will be a critical factor to its long-term success.\nAsset Lite Business Model\nSimilar to NIO, Fisker does not produce its vehicles in-house. Instead, the EV start-up implements an “asset lite” business model, which has bolstered its incredible strength in cost management – with the Ocean Program to be fully funded by the $1 billion proceeds from its SPAC merger last year, and only 15 months away from start of production, Fisker’s balance sheet still boasts a cash balance of more than $962 million. The asset lite business model helps Fisker bypass the capital-intensive nature of car-making by requiring it to co-develop its vehicles and platforms with renowned manufacturing partners and suppliers. And to avoid the typical cost inefficiencies that accompany outsourced manufacturing arrangements, Fisker ensures its production partners have “equal skin in the game” by either offering equity stake in the company or ensuring the project is a joint-venture investment. The carmaker has also been highly selective in the process of choosing its strategic partners, and only works with the most reputable and experienced in the industry to ensure quality control.\nThe Ocean SUV will be manufactured by Magna, one of the largest auto manufacturers in the world. Together, the two companies have co-developed the FM 29 platform that will drive the Ocean SUV and additional EV models in the future. In exchange, Magna is offered a 6% stake in Fisker, exercisable through achievement of “interrelated performance conditions” (pg. 97 of the2020 10K). Magna has also opened several Fisker-dedicated operational areas at the carbon-neutral facility in Graz, Austria to facilitate theirlong-term manufacturing agreementthrough to 2029. The facilities will allocate annual production capacity of well over 100,000 vehicles at full ramp up to Fisker.\nIn addition to the Ocean SUV, Fisker is also working with Foxconn on the production of their second model,PEAR, and its underlying FP 28 platform. The unique deal structure requires Foxconn to provide investments in areas related to the manufacturing process and the technology supply chain, while Fisker will lead on the design process, product development and go-to-market strategies. The PEAR is expected to be a new-segment vehicle that will “revolutionize” the electric vehicle driving experience. The new vehicle is scheduled to enter production in late 2023, with a price tag of $30,000 before tax incentives. Fisker and Foxconn are currently finalizing plans on amanufacturing site in the U.S.that could handle a production capacity of up to 150,000 units annually. And in the long-run, the partners plan to manufacture and sell at least 250,000 units of the PEAR per year globally upon full production ramp up.\nAside from its production partners, Fisker has also forged strategic partnerships with critical component suppliers and after-sales service providers.Bridgestone Tireshas recently been selected as the exclusive tire partner for the Fisker Ocean, while another undisclosed battery cell manufacturer, who is one of the five largest in the world, will supply the battery packs.Sharphas also been engaged as the designated developer and supplier of interior display systems for up to four Fisker EV models. As for after-sales service partners, Fisker has recently made a $10 million private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) supporting the upcoming reverse merger ofAllego, a European EV charging network, with Spartan Acquisition Corp, III. The strategic investment will pave the way for efficient access to charging infrastructure for Fisker customers in Europe, a critical element in attracting sales and growing its market share. Fisker has also madeElectrify Americaits official charging partner for the U.S. market. The partnership will offer Fisker vehicle owners with exclusive package rates across more than 3,500 Electrify America chargers in the U.S. Other after-sales service partners include theMekonomen GroupandCox Automotive and Rivus Fleet Solutions, which will facilitate Fisker’s logistics and maintenance services in Europe.\nFinancial ProspectsNIO\nDespite NIO’s recent decision to adjust its third-quarter delivery guidance from 23,000 to 25,000 vehicles down to 22,500 to 23,500 vehicles due to ongoing volatility of chip supply, we are expecting the company to keep progressing in line with ourearlier coverage. With close to 56,000 vehicles already delivered this year and new orders reaching an all-time high, NIO is expected to complete approximately 88,000 deliveries by the end of the year. This is expected to yield vehicle sales of RMB 32.6 billion ($5.0 billion) by the end of the year based on average vehicle revenue of RMB 367,000 ($56,635), which is consistent with NIO’s sales mix and pricing strategy observed in recent quarters. The projection also takes into consideration NIO’s upcoming debut in Norway, which will top-up on domestic sales growth expectations in the fourth quarter. Our base-case forecast projects NIO’s vehicle sales to further expand at a CAGR of 30.4% towards RMB 461.4 billion ($71.2 billion) by 2030. The growth assumption is consistent with global EV demand growth trends, as well as NIO’s historical performance and ongoing market share expansion initiatives.\nNIO’s achievements in battery and autonomous driving technology enhancement will also underpin growth in its other sales revenues. Other sales revenues, which are primarily generated from BaaS and “Autonomous Driving as a Service” (“ADaaS”), are expected to grow in line with vehicle sales at a CAGR of 30.0% from RMB 2.3 billion ($352.1 million) by the end of the year to RMB 31.5 billion ($4.9 billion) by 2030.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecast (NIO_-_Forecasted_Financial_Information.pdf).\nNIO’s net losses are expected to further narrow towards 2024 as margins continue to expand with sales ramp up and scale. Nominal profits of RMB 8.2 billion ($1.3 billion) are forecasted for 2025, with growth at a CAGR of 36.8% towards RMB 39.3 billion ($6.1 billion) by the end of the decade.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts. Please refer to our previous analysis for a detailed breakdown of NIO’s projected cost structure.\ni. Base Case Financial Forecast:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecast.\nFisker\nOn the other hand, our base-case forecast projects delivery of at least 40,000 Fisker Ocean SUVs across the U.S. and Europe in 2023 following the start of production, which is consistent with management’s original sales guidance and production volume estimates. With the Fisker Ocean’s middle-trim priced between $50,000 to $55,000 expected to be the best-seller, the flagship SUV is forecasted to generate $2.1 billion of revenues for the carmaker in 2023. And based on ramped-up production capacity of at least 5,000 units per month starting in 2023, we are projecting sales of at least 60,000 units of the Fisker Ocean by 2024, totaling $3.3 billion in projected revenues. Ocean sales are forecasted to grow further at a CAGR of 22.5% towards $11.1 billion by 2030. The growth assumption is consistent with Fisker’s intentions to expand into Asia-Pacific regions in the long-run, as well as market expectations on the rise of global EV demand.\nThe PEAR model, which is expected to commence production and deliveries in late 2023, is forecasted to add an additional $1.8 billion to revenues in 2024. With aspirations to produce and sellat least 250,000 unitsof the PEAR annually in the long-run, Fisker is expected to generate PEAR revenues of $6.1 billion by the end of the decade. This accordingly translates to PEAR revenue growth at a CAGR of 22.5% from 2024 to 2030, which is consistent with Fisker’s sales guidance per itsInvestor Presentationand global EV market growth trends.\nFisker also plans to launch two more vehicles in addition to the Ocean and PEAR before 2025. With a planned average sales price of $59,000 and a goal of selling 200,000 to 250,000 vehicles by the end of 2025, our base case forecast projects total revenues of $8.5 billion by then. Total revenues are expected to further expand at a CAGR of 25.6% towards $21.2 billion by 2030. Note that projected total revenues also include nominal merchandise sales of approximately $100,000 per year.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecast.\nWith Fisker’s margins to continuously improve after start of productions with cost-efficiencies enabled by its asset lite business model, our base-case forecast projects narrowing net losses from $380.0 million by the end of the year to $290.8 million by 2022. The EV start-up is expected to start realizing profits of $197.9 million starting in 2023, with further growth towards $774.3 million by 2025 when all four anticipated EV models enter production, and towards $1.95 billion by 2030.\nSource: Author, with data from our internal financial forecasts. Please refer to our previous analysis for a detailed breakdown of Fisker’s projected cost structure.\ni. Base Case Financial Forecast:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nConsistent with our recent analyses performed on both stocks, our 12-month price targets for NIO and Fisker remain at $59.74 and $20.61, respectively. These projections represent upside potential of close to 48% for both stocks based on their last traded share price on September 3rd.\nWe have performed a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis to determine the respective 12-month price targets for NIO and Fisker. Specifically, we have used projected free cash flows up to 2025 in the DCF analysis to reflect the valuation expectations on both companies’ near-term growth initiatives.\nFor NIO’s valuation analysis, we have applied a WACC of 11.9% to discount the projected free cash flows. The valuation assumption is consistent with the company’s current risk profile, taking into consideration its highly leveraged balance sheet and recent volatility in its price performance given uncertainties over the Chinese regulatory landscape. The valuation analysis also assumes a 90.6x EV/EBITDA multiple, which reflects NIO’s achievements in proprietary technology development in addition to EV sales, as well as ongoing growth initiatives and business outlook. This compares to the EV/EBITDA range of 70.9x to 111.2x observed across its industry peers.\ni. Near-Term Valuation Analysis – NIO:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nOn the other hand, we have applied a WACC of 13.4% to discount the projected free cash flows of Fisker to compute the stock’s 12-month price target. Although the company has largely remained debt-free with sufficient liquidity to complete the Ocean program, the company is a relatively riskier investment compared to NIO considering itisa pre-revenue and pre-production start-up. The WACC also considers Fisker’s recent announcement to fund the PEAR program with a new private debt offering of $625 million at 2.50% due in 2026. The valuation analysis assumes a 13.6x EV/EBITDA multiple, which is consistent with those of EV start-ups that are still in pre-revenue and testing phase, and have recently completed a reverse SPAC merger. The valuation multiple applied also reflects Fisker’s smaller scale of operations in terms of sales capacity, as well as technological developments in comparison to NIO and other established EV makers in the industry.\nii. Near-Term Valuation Analysis – Fisker:\nSource: Author, with data from our internal valuation analysis.\nOver the next five years, we foresee NIO and Fisker’s share price to reach as high as$160and$39, respectively. The long-term valuations prescribed reflect both companies’ estimated intrinsic values upon realization of their respective growth aspirations set out for the next five to ten years. For Fisker, these initiatives include full materialization of launching four EV models before 2025 with expansion into Asia-Pacific regions, as well as achieving positive operating cash flow and profits. And for NIO, the projected long-term valuation also captures the additional value generated from its technological advancements, including the global build-out of battery swap stations, development of long-range solid-state batteries, and materialization oflevel four autonomous driving technology.\nConclusion\nWhile accelerated global EV adoption trends underscore high-growth opportunities for both stocks, NIO makes a better long-term investment given its established operations and proprietary technological developments. But near-term catalysts for both stocks should not be overlooked. NIO’s official opening of its Norway operations in two weeks and Fisker’s reveal of the Ocean SUV’s production version in November are expected to underpin additional upsides for their respective price performances in the next twelve months. This makes both stocks attractive options at current price levels for those looking to capitalize on their growth potentials.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":308,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":817925545,"gmtCreate":1630899547387,"gmtModify":1676530416040,"author":{"id":"3576027952605838","authorId":"3576027952605838","name":"Jameslky1","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3cbe4d8cb2765489cecf6ce00fb3235d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BABA\">$Alibaba(BABA)$</a>When can the share break 200?","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BABA\">$Alibaba(BABA)$</a>When can the share break 200?","text":"$Alibaba(BABA)$When can the share break 200?","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1c2890e1b37281b3393568c5a180d59e","width":"1080","height":"3355"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/817925545","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":182,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":814559917,"gmtCreate":1630848824239,"gmtModify":1676530405421,"author":{"id":"3576027952605838","authorId":"3576027952605838","name":"Jameslky1","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3cbe4d8cb2765489cecf6ce00fb3235d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Believe or not?","listText":"Believe or not?","text":"Believe or not?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/814559917","repostId":"2164803413","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2164803413","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1630703820,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2164803413?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-04 05:17","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Lyft, Uber promise to cover legal fees for drivers targeted under Texas abortion law","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2164803413","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Lyft CEO establishes a legal-defense fund and pledges $1 million to Planned Parenthood, Uber CEO twe","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>Lyft CEO establishes a legal-defense fund and pledges $1 million to Planned Parenthood, Uber CEO tweets 'Team Uber is in too and will cover legal fees in the same way'.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Lyft Inc. executives plan to create a legal-defense fund for drivers in response to a Texas law that severely restricts abortions, and rival Uber Technologies Inc. is doing the same.</p>\n<p>Lyft <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LYFT\">$(LYFT)$</a> CEO Logan Green made the announcement on <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a> on Friday, adding that the ride-hailing company would also donate $1 million to Planned Parenthood.</p>\n<p>Less than two hours later, the CEO of Lyft competitor Uber Technologies Inc. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/UBER\">$(UBER)$</a>, Dara Khosrowshahi, responded to Green's tweet and said his rival company would also cover legal fees.</p>\n<p>In a blog post, Lyft's cofounders and general counsel wrote that the company has created a legal-defense fund for drivers to cover 100% of their legal fees if they are sued under S.B. 8, the Texas law that the Supreme Court recently declined to block, and prohibits abortions once cardiac activity can be detected, about six weeks into a pregnancy.</p>\n<p>Under the Texas law, private citizens can sue anyone who \"aids or abets\" an abortion that is performed after the six-week gestation period, potentially putting not just Lyft drivers, but any driver, at risk of a lawsuit for transporting a person to an abortion procedure.</p>\n<p>\"We want to be clear: Drivers are never responsible for monitoring where their riders go or why,\" the blog post reads. \"Imagine being a driver and not knowing if you are breaking the law by giving someone a ride.\"</p>\n<p>\"Similarly, riders never have to justify, or even share, where they are going and why.

The revenue guidance exactly met expectations, but sales-growth rates fall to new lows. In simple words, the video platform has continued to grow, but not at the overly optimistic pace that analysts expected.</p>\n<h4>Q2 Figures</h4>\n<p>For the quarter that ended on July 31st, revenue increased by 54% YoY in the quarter &nbsp;and topping $1 billion for the first time as it amounted to $1.02 billion, also exceeding Refinitiv expectations of $991.0 million as expected by analysts, according to Refinitiv. Adjusted net income came in 48% higher from the year-ago quarter, amounting to $1.36 per share, also exceeding $1.16 expected by Refinitiv. Free cash flow improved 22% as it improved to $455 million.</p>\n<p>Gross margin improved from 72.3% in the previous quarter to 74.4%. Gross margin benefited from new data center capacity as well as lower usage during the summer, thanks in part to the school break. The Zoom Phone cloud-based phone service expanded from 1.5 million three months earlier to 2 million seats.</p>\n<h4>Outlook</h4>\n<p>During the quarter, Zoom announced it will acquire cloud contact-center software provider Five9, along with the availability of Zoom Events for premium online meetings. The video communications company also invested in event software maker Cvent that sought to go public through a SPAC.</p>\n<p>As for the undergoing quarter, Zoom is guiding to 31% growth. Adjusted earnings per share are expected in the range between $1.07 to $1.08 with $1.015 billion to $1.020 billion in revenue.</p>\n<p>For the full fiscal year, it improved its forecast as coronavirus case counts have increased and many companies delayed plans to reopen offices. Adjusted earnings are expected to be in the range between $4.75 to $4.79 per share with the revenue range being within $4.005 billion and $4.015 billion in revenue. Previous estimates for adjusted earnings were $4.56 to $4.61 and $3.98 billion to $3.99 billion for revenue.</p>\n<p>The forecast is ahead of analysts' consensus estimates for both adjusted earnings per share and revenue, being $4.67 and $4.01 billion, respectively.</p>\n<p>The guidance assumes strong growth for the direct and channel businesses, but also a weakness in the online business because of challenges encountered by smaller customers and consumers. Gross margin is expected to expand with students resuming classes.</p>\n<h4>The Verdict</h4>\n<p>By most standards,&nbsp;Zoom's business metrics look solid with 2,278 customers contributing $100,000 or more to its annual revenue. This is well over double its last year's big-client count. Customers with more than 10 employees vaulted over the half-million mark, up 36% YoY. On a trailing 12-month basis, net dollar expansion rates remained above 130%. But its results just weren't good enough for Wall Street who was not pleased to see the company calling for roughly flat third-quarter revenue compared to the second quarter.</p>\n<p><i>This article is not a press release and is contributed by a verified independent journalist for IAMNewswire.

The revenue guidance exactly met expectations, but sales-growth rates fall to new lows. In simple words, the video platform has continued to grow, but not at the overly optimistic pace that analysts expected.\nQ2 Figures\nFor the quarter that ended on July 31st, revenue increased by 54% YoY in the quarter  and topping $1 billion for the first time as it amounted to $1.02 billion, also exceeding Refinitiv expectations of $991.0 million as expected by analysts, according to Refinitiv. Adjusted net income came in 48% higher from the year-ago quarter, amounting to $1.36 per share, also exceeding $1.16 expected by Refinitiv. Free cash flow improved 22% as it improved to $455 million.\nGross margin improved from 72.3% in the previous quarter to 74.4%. Gross margin benefited from new data center capacity as well as lower usage during the summer, thanks in part to the school break. The Zoom Phone cloud-based phone service expanded from 1.5 million three months earlier to 2 million seats.\nOutlook\nDuring the quarter, Zoom announced it will acquire cloud contact-center software provider Five9, along with the availability of Zoom Events for premium online meetings. The video communications company also invested in event software maker Cvent that sought to go public through a SPAC.\nAs for the undergoing quarter, Zoom is guiding to 31% growth. Adjusted earnings per share are expected in the range between $1.07 to $1.08 with $1.015 billion to $1.020 billion in revenue.\nFor the full fiscal year, it improved its forecast as coronavirus case counts have increased and many companies delayed plans to reopen offices. Adjusted earnings are expected to be in the range between $4.75 to $4.79 per share with the revenue range being within $4.005 billion and $4.015 billion in revenue. Previous estimates for adjusted earnings were $4.56 to $4.61 and $3.98 billion to $3.99 billion for revenue.\nThe forecast is ahead of analysts' consensus estimates for both adjusted earnings per share and revenue, being $4.67 and $4.01 billion, respectively.\nThe guidance assumes strong growth for the direct and channel businesses, but also a weakness in the online business because of challenges encountered by smaller customers and consumers. Gross margin is expected to expand with students resuming classes.\nThe Verdict\nBy most standards, Zoom's business metrics look solid with 2,278 customers contributing $100,000 or more to its annual revenue. This is well over double its last year's big-client count. Customers with more than 10 employees vaulted over the half-million mark, up 36% YoY. On a trailing 12-month basis, net dollar expansion rates remained above 130%. But its results just weren't good enough for Wall Street who was not pleased to see the company calling for roughly flat third-quarter revenue compared to the second quarter.\nThis article is not a press release and is contributed by a verified independent journalist for IAMNewswire.

What's more, Applied's guidance turned out to be strong as well, fueled by the massive growth in semiconductor investments across the globe as chipmakers are scrambling to meet huge end-market demand.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/36e7c524b510f3ddf875d48fa2f3ac29\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>It's worth noting that Applied Materials stock is now trading at a cheaper valuation than it was before the quarterly report came out, thanks to the terrific earnings growth. Its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is just 23, while the forward earnings multiple of 17 indicates that more bottom-line growth is in the cards. These multiples are lower than the <b>S&amp;P 500 Index</b>'s trailing P/E of 31 and forward P/E of 22.</p>\n<p>That means there's a golden opportunity for investors to add a rapidly growing company to their portfolios at an attractive valuation, and they shouldn't miss out. Let's look at some reasons.</p>\n<h2>Applied Materials is now growing at a blistering pace</h2>\n<p>A $1,000 investment in Applied Materials stock a decade ago would be worth almost $12,000 now:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81e0104d17e81fcbfbe06af299b88f05\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>AMAT data by YCharts.</span></p>\n<p>However, as the chart above shows, the company's top and bottom lines haven't exactly grown at a blistering pace over the past 10 years. Its revenue just about doubled, while earnings growth hasn't been eye-popping either, considering the pace at which the broader market's bottom line has increased. Also, as the chart indicates, most of Applied Materials' gains arrived in the past year and a half, after it became evident that the company's offerings would remain in hot demand amid a global semiconductor shortage that has disrupted several industries.</p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, Applied Materials' revenue and earnings have been growing at a much faster pace when compared to its average annual growth in the past 10 years. The company delivered record quarterly revenue of $6.2 billion in Q3, up 41% year over year. It also clocked a record (adjusted) operating margin of 32.7%, a jump of 6.3 percentage points over the prior year.</p>\n<p>The terrific sales and margin growth led to record adjusted earnings of $1.90 per share, up 79% from the year-ago quarter. The results crushed the expectations of analysts who'd been looking for $1.77 per share in earnings on $5.94 billion in revenue.</p>\n<p>Applied Materials' guidance was the icing on the cake. The company expects, at the midpoint of its guidance range, to earn $1.94 per share this quarter on revenue of $6.33 billion. Wall Street had set the bar lower; analysts were expecting just $1.81 in earnings per share on $6.04 billion in revenue. The midpoint of the guidance indicates that Applied is anticipating 35% year-over-year revenue growth this quarter, while non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings could increase 55%.</p>\n<p>The impressive guidance is a clue that Applied Materials has switched into a higher gear, and it's unlikely to step off the gas given the massive end-market opportunity at hand. In fact, it wouldn't be surprising to see its growth over the next decade significantly outpacing the rate at which it's grown in the past 10 years, helping the stock to fly higher once again.</p>\n<h2>Sustainable growth drivers can help the stock soar</h2>\n<p>Applied Materials supplies chip fabrication equipment, services, and software to semiconductor manufacturers. Its largest source of revenue is the semiconductor systems business, through which Applied develops, manufactures, and sells semiconductor fabrication equipment. This segment produced nearly 72% of the company's total revenue last quarter and recorded 53% year-over-year growth.</p>\n<p>Within the semiconductor systems business, the foundry/logic vertical occupied the largest share with 63% of total revenue, up from 55% in the year-ago quarter. The foundry business is built for long-term growth, as chipmakers across the globe are ramping up capacity. For instance, global semiconductor capital spending stood at an estimated $29.4 billion in 2010, according to <b>Gartner</b>. Last year, that number had ballooned to $106.9 billion.</p>\n<p>Gartner estimates that global semiconductor spending will rise to $141.9 billion this year. Spending on semiconductor equipment can keep moving higher in the coming years on the back of a huge jump in chip demand.</p>\n<p>Applied Materials points out that the semiconductor industry took 40 years to achieve its first $200 billion in revenue; from 2000 to 2017, the industry added the next $200 billion. An additional $200 billion of revenue is expected by 2024, over a shorter span of just seven years. What's more, the semiconductor industry's revenue is anticipated to increase a whopping $400 billion from 2025 to 2030, hitting $1 trillion at the end of the forecast period.</p>\n<p>Chipmakers will need to buy new equipment or upgrade their existing setups to cater to this massive increase in semiconductor demand, which will be driven by several verticals including automotive, networking, and industrial. Discussing \"PPACt\" (chip power efficiency, performance, area, cost, and time to market), Applied Materials CEO Gary Dickerson said on the Q3 earnings call that the company is on track to take advantage of these tailwinds and outperform the broader market:</p>\n<blockquote>\n As we look ahead, we are confident that the strength of longer-term secular trends will drive semiconductor and wafer fab equipment markets structurally higher. And we believe Applied is in the best position to accelerate our customers' PPACt roadmaps, and grow significantly faster than our markets.\n</blockquote>\n<p>All of this indicates that Applied Materials is in a solid position to deliver more upside.

What's more, Applied's guidance turned out to be strong as well, fueled by the massive growth in semiconductor investments across the globe as chipmakers are scrambling to meet huge end-market demand.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nIt's worth noting that Applied Materials stock is now trading at a cheaper valuation than it was before the quarterly report came out, thanks to the terrific earnings growth. Its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is just 23, while the forward earnings multiple of 17 indicates that more bottom-line growth is in the cards. These multiples are lower than the S&P 500 Index's trailing P/E of 31 and forward P/E of 22.\nThat means there's a golden opportunity for investors to add a rapidly growing company to their portfolios at an attractive valuation, and they shouldn't miss out. Let's look at some reasons.\nApplied Materials is now growing at a blistering pace\nA $1,000 investment in Applied Materials stock a decade ago would be worth almost $12,000 now:\nAMAT data by YCharts.\nHowever, as the chart above shows, the company's top and bottom lines haven't exactly grown at a blistering pace over the past 10 years. Its revenue just about doubled, while earnings growth hasn't been eye-popping either, considering the pace at which the broader market's bottom line has increased. Also, as the chart indicates, most of Applied Materials' gains arrived in the past year and a half, after it became evident that the company's offerings would remain in hot demand amid a global semiconductor shortage that has disrupted several industries.\nNot surprisingly, Applied Materials' revenue and earnings have been growing at a much faster pace when compared to its average annual growth in the past 10 years. The company delivered record quarterly revenue of $6.2 billion in Q3, up 41% year over year. It also clocked a record (adjusted) operating margin of 32.7%, a jump of 6.3 percentage points over the prior year.\nThe terrific sales and margin growth led to record adjusted earnings of $1.90 per share, up 79% from the year-ago quarter. The results crushed the expectations of analysts who'd been looking for $1.77 per share in earnings on $5.94 billion in revenue.\nApplied Materials' guidance was the icing on the cake. The company expects, at the midpoint of its guidance range, to earn $1.94 per share this quarter on revenue of $6.33 billion. Wall Street had set the bar lower; analysts were expecting just $1.81 in earnings per share on $6.04 billion in revenue. The midpoint of the guidance indicates that Applied is anticipating 35% year-over-year revenue growth this quarter, while non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings could increase 55%.\nThe impressive guidance is a clue that Applied Materials has switched into a higher gear, and it's unlikely to step off the gas given the massive end-market opportunity at hand. In fact, it wouldn't be surprising to see its growth over the next decade significantly outpacing the rate at which it's grown in the past 10 years, helping the stock to fly higher once again.\nSustainable growth drivers can help the stock soar\nApplied Materials supplies chip fabrication equipment, services, and software to semiconductor manufacturers. Its largest source of revenue is the semiconductor systems business, through which Applied develops, manufactures, and sells semiconductor fabrication equipment. This segment produced nearly 72% of the company's total revenue last quarter and recorded 53% year-over-year growth.\nWithin the semiconductor systems business, the foundry/logic vertical occupied the largest share with 63% of total revenue, up from 55% in the year-ago quarter. The foundry business is built for long-term growth, as chipmakers across the globe are ramping up capacity. For instance, global semiconductor capital spending stood at an estimated $29.4 billion in 2010, according to Gartner. Last year, that number had ballooned to $106.9 billion.\nGartner estimates that global semiconductor spending will rise to $141.9 billion this year. Spending on semiconductor equipment can keep moving higher in the coming years on the back of a huge jump in chip demand.\nApplied Materials points out that the semiconductor industry took 40 years to achieve its first $200 billion in revenue; from 2000 to 2017, the industry added the next $200 billion. An additional $200 billion of revenue is expected by 2024, over a shorter span of just seven years. What's more, the semiconductor industry's revenue is anticipated to increase a whopping $400 billion from 2025 to 2030, hitting $1 trillion at the end of the forecast period.\nChipmakers will need to buy new equipment or upgrade their existing setups to cater to this massive increase in semiconductor demand, which will be driven by several verticals including automotive, networking, and industrial. Discussing \"PPACt\" (chip power efficiency, performance, area, cost, and time to market), Applied Materials CEO Gary Dickerson said on the Q3 earnings call that the company is on track to take advantage of these tailwinds and outperform the broader market:\n\n As we look ahead, we are confident that the strength of longer-term secular trends will drive semiconductor and wafer fab equipment markets structurally higher. And we believe Applied is in the best position to accelerate our customers' PPACt roadmaps, and grow significantly faster than our markets.\n\nAll of this indicates that Applied Materials is in a solid position to deliver more upside. Analysts expect the company's earnings to clock a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 25% for the next five years. At its current valuation, buying this tech stock is a no-brainer.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":235,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":813229476,"gmtCreate":1630206297495,"gmtModify":1676530243365,"author":{"id":"3576027952605838","authorId":"3576027952605838","name":"Jameslky1","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3cbe4d8cb2765489cecf6ce00fb3235d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Really?

People naturally want investments to at least get back to breakeven if prices drop after making a buy. Of course, timing the bottom in a market or individual stock isn't likely, and comes down to luck if it happens.</p>\n<p>Timing shouldn't matter much for long-term investors, though. But that same psychology drives the desire to buy stocks that have come down in price. And when a high-flying growth stock like <b>Peloton Interactive</b> (NASDAQ:PTON) goes through a price correction, it's worth taking a deeper look at whether it's a good idea to take advantage of the opportunity.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb061c256a2d67cf7e7bb159594fb00e\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>A perfect storm</h2>\n<p>The connected home-fitness company was one of the darlings of the 2020 stock market, with shares returning more than 400%. It was a top stay-at-home play, as sales exploded. Total revenue doubled for its 2020 fiscal year (which ended June 30, 2020) compared to the prior fiscal year.</p>\n<p>The growth continued into 2021, as sales grew another 120% for the year ending June 30, 2021, versus the prior 12-month period. But 2021 has now seen the opposite reaction to the stock. Shares are down 32% year to date, and almost 10% just over the last month.</p>\n<p>Investors have traded stay-at-home stocks for those thought to benefit most from reopening. Add in bad publicity from the company having to recall its treadmills due to a safety issue, along with the recently announced price cut for its exercise bikes, and the perfect storm that drove last year's stock gains seems to have subsided.</p>\n<h2>Addressing a good problem</h2>\n<p>One of Peloton's biggest problems last year was one most businesses would envy. Surging demand for its products resulted in long lead times and delayed deliveries. Management quickly addressed the supply issues. In December 2020, it announced an agreement to buy Precor, one of the world's largest providers of commercial fitness equipment. That would provide added production capacity.</p>\n<p>As it worked to close that transaction, in February 2021 the company said it would invest $100 million to cover expedited air and ocean freight that would get orders delivered more quickly. By May 2021, the company had closed the acquisition of Precor, announced plans to build its first U.S. factory, and said the average wait times for its bikes were back to pre-pandemic levels.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F641436%2Fpelotonbike.png&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"577\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Image source: Peloton Interactive.</span></p>\n<h2>The recurring revenue stream</h2>\n<p>One of the reasons the stock dropped recently was the announcement that Peloton cut the price of its original bike by $400. But if what was perceived as a product meant for only the wealthy is now more affordable, the lower equipment revenue will eventually be replaced by recurring-subscription revenue. In the fiscal fourth quarter ended June 30, 2021, subscription revenue grew 132% year over year, versus growth of just 35% for the connected-fitness hardware.</p>\n<p>For the full fiscal year, subscription revenue represented 22% of total revenue. But that is growing: It was 30% of total revenue in the fourth fiscal quarter. And subscription revenue has a much higher gross profit margin than connected fitness hardware revenue.</p>\n<p>Management expects the faster-growing recurring revenue to help boost gross margin by 700 basis points for the 2022 fiscal year compared to the most recent quarter. And even considering the reduced hardware pricing, Peloton is guiding investors to expect a 34% jump in total revenue for its 2022 fiscal year.</p>\n<h2>Paying up for growth</h2>\n<p>It's not surprising that a growth stock like Peloton is expensive based on its current business metrics. But using its fiscal 2022 revenue guidance, the stock is trading at a price-to-sales ratio below 6. That's down from approximately 18 at the start of 2021. And considering the popularity of the product and ongoing growth rates in sales, that isn't unreasonable.</p>\n<p>But the company isn't just growing in its core business, it is also expanding into commercial equipment through the Precor acquisition. And it has just announced the launch of Peloton Apparel, a private-label line of fitness clothing.</p>\n<p>Management's strategy to grow its customer base by lowering equipment prices makes sense. Once a customer purchases a bike or treadmill, the subscription service is difficult to drop. And since subscription revenue provides higher margins, you can start to see a clear path to profitability for Peloton.</p>\n<p>With a new apparel business and hardware for commercial locations just getting started, Peloton's future looks good. Now seems like a good opportunity to take advantage of the price drop and buy in before the stock goes back up.</p>","source":"fool_stock","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>Should You Buy Peloton Before It Goes Back Up?</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\">\nShould You Buy Peloton Before It Goes Back Up?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-12 11:04 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/11/should-you-buy-peloton-before-it-goes-back-up/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Many investors have a hard time avoiding what's called price anchoring.

People naturally want investments to at least get back to breakeven if prices drop after making a buy. Of course, timing the bottom in a market or individual stock isn't likely, and comes down to luck if it happens.\nTiming shouldn't matter much for long-term investors, though. But that same psychology drives the desire to buy stocks that have come down in price. And when a high-flying growth stock like Peloton Interactive (NASDAQ:PTON) goes through a price correction, it's worth taking a deeper look at whether it's a good idea to take advantage of the opportunity.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nA perfect storm\nThe connected home-fitness company was one of the darlings of the 2020 stock market, with shares returning more than 400%. It was a top stay-at-home play, as sales exploded. Total revenue doubled for its 2020 fiscal year (which ended June 30, 2020) compared to the prior fiscal year.\nThe growth continued into 2021, as sales grew another 120% for the year ending June 30, 2021, versus the prior 12-month period. But 2021 has now seen the opposite reaction to the stock. Shares are down 32% year to date, and almost 10% just over the last month.\nInvestors have traded stay-at-home stocks for those thought to benefit most from reopening. Add in bad publicity from the company having to recall its treadmills due to a safety issue, along with the recently announced price cut for its exercise bikes, and the perfect storm that drove last year's stock gains seems to have subsided.\nAddressing a good problem\nOne of Peloton's biggest problems last year was one most businesses would envy. Surging demand for its products resulted in long lead times and delayed deliveries. Management quickly addressed the supply issues. In December 2020, it announced an agreement to buy Precor, one of the world's largest providers of commercial fitness equipment. That would provide added production capacity.\nAs it worked to close that transaction, in February 2021 the company said it would invest $100 million to cover expedited air and ocean freight that would get orders delivered more quickly. By May 2021, the company had closed the acquisition of Precor, announced plans to build its first U.S. factory, and said the average wait times for its bikes were back to pre-pandemic levels.\nImage source: Peloton Interactive.\nThe recurring revenue stream\nOne of the reasons the stock dropped recently was the announcement that Peloton cut the price of its original bike by $400. But if what was perceived as a product meant for only the wealthy is now more affordable, the lower equipment revenue will eventually be replaced by recurring-subscription revenue. In the fiscal fourth quarter ended June 30, 2021, subscription revenue grew 132% year over year, versus growth of just 35% for the connected-fitness hardware.\nFor the full fiscal year, subscription revenue represented 22% of total revenue. But that is growing: It was 30% of total revenue in the fourth fiscal quarter. And subscription revenue has a much higher gross profit margin than connected fitness hardware revenue.\nManagement expects the faster-growing recurring revenue to help boost gross margin by 700 basis points for the 2022 fiscal year compared to the most recent quarter. And even considering the reduced hardware pricing, Peloton is guiding investors to expect a 34% jump in total revenue for its 2022 fiscal year.\nPaying up for growth\nIt's not surprising that a growth stock like Peloton is expensive based on its current business metrics. But using its fiscal 2022 revenue guidance, the stock is trading at a price-to-sales ratio below 6. That's down from approximately 18 at the start of 2021. And considering the popularity of the product and ongoing growth rates in sales, that isn't unreasonable.\nBut the company isn't just growing in its core business, it is also expanding into commercial equipment through the Precor acquisition. And it has just announced the launch of Peloton Apparel, a private-label line of fitness clothing.\nManagement's strategy to grow its customer base by lowering equipment prices makes sense. Once a customer purchases a bike or treadmill, the subscription service is difficult to drop. And since subscription revenue provides higher margins, you can start to see a clear path to profitability for Peloton.\nWith a new apparel business and hardware for commercial locations just getting started, Peloton's future looks good. Now seems like a good opportunity to take advantage of the price drop and buy in before the stock goes back up.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":593,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":836452883,"gmtCreate":1629517434042,"gmtModify":1676530063949,"author":{"id":"3576027952605838","authorId":"3576027952605838","name":"Jameslky1","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3cbe4d8cb2765489cecf6ce00fb3235d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Looking forward to GM EV cars.","listText":"Looking forward to GM EV cars.","text":"Looking forward to GM EV cars.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/836452883","repostId":"1114812009","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":196,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3583359376558812","authorId":"3583359376558812","name":"Duckwin","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/276f9bde574e93d5e8267ae381d6dfc5","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"content":"Likewise.

In a race to disrupt residential real estate, one of the largest markets in the world, Opendoor's long-term potential could bring big returns for patient investors.</p>\n<p>Despite the upside, the market hasn't yet appreciated Opendoor's accomplishments; the stock is down more than 50% from its highs. There are three important clues that Opendoor could be a compelling investment idea for bold investors.</p>\n<h3>1. Opendoor is winning the iBuying battle</h3>\n<p>The traditional home-buying process in the United States is slow and handled by multiple parties, including agents, lawyers, inspectors, and bankers. This creates a lot of back and forth paperwork and drags the process out to more than 30 days, on average.</p>\n<p>Opendoor pioneered the concept of \"iBuying,\" where the buying and selling of a house are digitized, and a company like Opendoor works directly with sellers to provide them with a cash offer and a digital closing process. The company then resells the house on the market. The iBuying process cuts out agents and some of the fees associated with traditional closings, such as agent commissions. Opendoor then resells the house on the market and charges a service fee of up to 5% on the transaction.</p>\n<p>After seeing Opendoor steadily grow with its iBuying concept, competitors have also begun to offer iBuying services, including&nbsp;<b>Zillow Group</b>&nbsp;and Offerpad. Because of how capital intensive the business is (a lot of money is needed to buy and sell thousands of houses) and how price competitive the housing market is, these companies are racing to get as big as possible.

When it does, the stock price could move aggressively. If we take Eric Wu's comments about revenue and assume that Opendoor does sales of $10 billion in 2022 (in other words, Opendoor stops growing and maintains its current pace over the following year), the stock currently trades at aprice-to-sales(P/S) ratio of just 1.0.

It's too early to say that Opendoor will become the \"<b>Amazon</b>\" of home buying, but what seems certain is that the company is&nbsp;poised to be a big player&nbsp;in real estate's future if it keeps performing like this.</p>\n<p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>This Unloved Tech Stock Could Make You Rich One Day</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\">\nThis Unloved Tech Stock Could Make You Rich One Day\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-29 09:41 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/28/this-unloved-tech-stock-may-make-you-rich-one-day/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Key Points\n\nThe iBuying business is a race to grow larger, and Opendoor is winning.\nThe company is growing at a rate that is two years ahead of what management projected just a year earlier.\nThe ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/28/this-unloved-tech-stock-may-make-you-rich-one-day/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"OPEN":"Opendoor Technologies Inc"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/28/this-unloved-tech-stock-may-make-you-rich-one-day/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1129129956","content_text":"Key Points\n\nThe iBuying business is a race to grow larger, and Opendoor is winning.\nThe company is growing at a rate that is two years ahead of what management projected just a year earlier.\nThe market is bearish on virtually all SPACs, making Opendoor a bargain that could eventually bring huge returns.\n\n\nReal estate iBuying company Opendoor Technologies(NASDAQ:OPEN)has been executing at a high level in the three quarters since coming public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger. In a race to disrupt residential real estate, one of the largest markets in the world, Opendoor's long-term potential could bring big returns for patient investors.\nDespite the upside, the market hasn't yet appreciated Opendoor's accomplishments; the stock is down more than 50% from its highs. There are three important clues that Opendoor could be a compelling investment idea for bold investors.\n1. Opendoor is winning the iBuying battle\nThe traditional home-buying process in the United States is slow and handled by multiple parties, including agents, lawyers, inspectors, and bankers. This creates a lot of back and forth paperwork and drags the process out to more than 30 days, on average.\nOpendoor pioneered the concept of \"iBuying,\" where the buying and selling of a house are digitized, and a company like Opendoor works directly with sellers to provide them with a cash offer and a digital closing process. The company then resells the house on the market. The iBuying process cuts out agents and some of the fees associated with traditional closings, such as agent commissions. Opendoor then resells the house on the market and charges a service fee of up to 5% on the transaction.\nAfter seeing Opendoor steadily grow with its iBuying concept, competitors have also begun to offer iBuying services, including Zillow Group and Offerpad. Because of how capital intensive the business is (a lot of money is needed to buy and sell thousands of houses) and how price competitive the housing market is, these companies are racing to get as big as possible. As the companies buy and sell more homes, they have the ability to become more profitable by leveraging outsourced contractors to save money, and its pricing algorithm improves as it sees more transactions.\nAccording to iBuyerStats, a website dedicated to tracking the competitors found in iBuying, Opendoor has consistently had the most housing inventory available for sale. It currently has roughly 3,300 houses for sale, 53% more than Zillow and more than four times as many as Offerpad.\n2. Revenue growth is ahead of schedule\nWhen companies go public viaSPACmerger, they lay out a public presentation of their business, often including long-term growth projections. Opendoor laid out its pre-merger investor presentation about a year ago, in September 2020.\nFast forward to the company's recent 2021 Q2 earnings call. CEO and founder Eric Wu said on the earnings call, \"... based on our current progress, our second half revenue run rate is on track to exceed our 2023 target, a full two years ahead of plan.\"\nIn other words, if Opendoor were to operate for 12 months at the level the business currently is, it would surpass the $9.8 billion in revenue it projected for 2023. This is an underlooked point because if Opendoor is already two years ahead of its original growth curve, where will it be by 2023? Sure, a dip in the housing market or other events could disrupt the company's speed of growth, but Opendoor is showing the world that the business is operating at a high level.\n3. SPACs are out of favor with the market... opportunity?\nInvestors have overlooked this strong performance, focusing instead on the fact that Opendoor joined the public market via SPAC merger. It has hardly mattered what operating results or earnings have looked like for former SPACs; the stock market has been selling off virtually all SPAC-based stocks for several months now.\nInvestors have been spooked by a handful of \"bad apple\" companies turning up fraudulent, and other companies have wildly missed on the projections they made before going public.

It's too early to say that Opendoor will become the \"Amazon\" of home buying, but what seems certain is that the company is poised to be a big player in real estate's future if it keeps performing like this.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":71,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":813302455,"gmtCreate":1630127502877,"gmtModify":1676530231735,"author":{"id":"3576027952605838","authorId":"3576027952605838","name":"Jameslky1","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3cbe4d8cb2765489cecf6ce00fb3235d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Competition is good","listText":"Competition is good","text":"Competition is good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/813302455","repostId":"2162907389","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2162907389","pubTimestamp":1630108800,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2162907389?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-28 08:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Salesforce rival Freshworks reveals revenue surge in IPO filing","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2162907389","media":"StreetInsider","summary":"(Reuters) -Business and customer engagement software company Freshworks Inc on Friday made public it","content":"<p>(Reuters) -Business and customer engagement software company Freshworks Inc on Friday made public its filing for an initial public offering in the United States, reporting a nearly 53% surge in revenue as more customers signed up for its services.

The revenue guidance exactly met expectations, but sales-growth rates fall to new lows.","content":"<p>Despite logging its first billion-dollar quarter, the stock of&nbsp;<b>Zoom</b>&nbsp;<b>Video Communications</b> (NASDAQ:ZM) fell almost 11% on Monday after the company posted a higher-than-expected earnings forecast for the full year. The revenue guidance exactly met expectations, but sales-growth rates fall to new lows. In simple words, the video platform has continued to grow, but not at the overly optimistic pace that analysts expected.</p>\n<h4>Q2 Figures</h4>\n<p>For the quarter that ended on July 31st, revenue increased by 54% YoY in the quarter &nbsp;and topping $1 billion for the first time as it amounted to $1.02 billion, also exceeding Refinitiv expectations of $991.0 million as expected by analysts, according to Refinitiv. Adjusted net income came in 48% higher from the year-ago quarter, amounting to $1.36 per share, also exceeding $1.16 expected by Refinitiv. Free cash flow improved 22% as it improved to $455 million.</p>\n<p>Gross margin improved from 72.3% in the previous quarter to 74.4%. Gross margin benefited from new data center capacity as well as lower usage during the summer, thanks in part to the school break. The Zoom Phone cloud-based phone service expanded from 1.5 million three months earlier to 2 million seats.</p>\n<h4>Outlook</h4>\n<p>During the quarter, Zoom announced it will acquire cloud contact-center software provider Five9, along with the availability of Zoom Events for premium online meetings. The video communications company also invested in event software maker Cvent that sought to go public through a SPAC.</p>\n<p>As for the undergoing quarter, Zoom is guiding to 31% growth. Adjusted earnings per share are expected in the range between $1.07 to $1.08 with $1.015 billion to $1.020 billion in revenue.</p>\n<p>For the full fiscal year, it improved its forecast as coronavirus case counts have increased and many companies delayed plans to reopen offices. Adjusted earnings are expected to be in the range between $4.75 to $4.79 per share with the revenue range being within $4.005 billion and $4.015 billion in revenue. Previous estimates for adjusted earnings were $4.56 to $4.61 and $3.98 billion to $3.99 billion for revenue.</p>\n<p>The forecast is ahead of analysts' consensus estimates for both adjusted earnings per share and revenue, being $4.67 and $4.01 billion, respectively.</p>\n<p>The guidance assumes strong growth for the direct and channel businesses, but also a weakness in the online business because of challenges encountered by smaller customers and consumers. Gross margin is expected to expand with students resuming classes.</p>\n<h4>The Verdict</h4>\n<p>By most standards,&nbsp;Zoom's business metrics look solid with 2,278 customers contributing $100,000 or more to its annual revenue. This is well over double its last year's big-client count. Customers with more than 10 employees vaulted over the half-million mark, up 36% YoY. On a trailing 12-month basis, net dollar expansion rates remained above 130%. But its results just weren't good enough for Wall Street who was not pleased to see the company calling for roughly flat third-quarter revenue compared to the second quarter.</p>\n<p><i>This article is not a press release and is contributed by a verified independent journalist for IAMNewswire.

Tesla charges thousands of dollars at purchase (or as little as $100 a month) for software that is nowhere near full self-driving, a practice that has already led toa recent review by California Department of Motor Vehiclesanda German ruling that Tesla could not market the product as such.</p>\n<p>“Language matters,” said Selika Talbott, a professorial lecturer in the department of public administration and policy at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AFG\">American</a> University in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WASH\">Washington</a> DC. “The use of this terminology is false and misleading and unsafe for the general public. The notions of assisted driving and autonomous vehicles and their differences are not fully understood by the general public.”</p>\n<p>“Tesla has highly assisted technology in their vehicle, but at no point should anyone behind the wheel think that vehicle can drive itself, because it can’t,” Talbott said.</p>\n<p>The week began with news of a federal investigation into Tesla’s Autopilot system after cars using the feature crashed into stopped emergency vehicles.The <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NHLD\">National</a> <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HIHO\">Highway</a> Traffic Safety Administration is looking into a series of crashesby Tesla cars that had the advanced driver-assistance system enabled. NHTSA said that itopened an inquiry into 11 Tesla crashesthat involved emergency vehicles, while still investigating a series of collisions involving cars enabled with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AEIS\">Advanced</a> Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and tractor-trailers.</p>\n<p>The latest outcry on Capitol <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HIL\">Hill</a> follows a stream of news reports and/or social media posts and YouTube videos of drivers engaging in extremely risky behavior while testing the so-called self-driving features of their Tesla. In May, Steven Michael Hendrickson,a 35-year-old father of two in Fontana, Calif., died when his Tesla hit an overturned semitruck. Earlier he had posted videos of driving without his hands on the wheel of his car on the freeway, but the NHTSA was still investigating the role of Autopilot in the crash.</p>\n<p>“The vehicles that Tesla is producing are driver-assisted systems,” said Bryan Reimer, a research scientist at the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics. “They are assisting the driver, and the driver needs to maintain vigilance.”</p>\n<p>It is important to note the difference between Tesla’s dual products with misleading names. “Autopilot” is an ADAS system, a highly advanced version of cruise control meant for highway driving that enables “your car to steer, accelerate and brake automatically within its lane under your active supervision, assisting with the most burdensome parts of driving,” according to Tesla’s website. Tesla also offers the “FSD” package, now available by a subscription of $99 to $199 a month, which it describes as “access to a suite of more advanced driver assistance features, designed to provide more active guidance and assisted driving under your active supervision.”</p>\n<p>If only Musk described these systems in a similar manner to the official website. In analyst conference calls and in Tesla’s multi-hour long presentations to its fan base, Musk has been proclaiming that with this software, full autonomy is around the corner.</p>\n<p>“We&nbsp;basically&nbsp;have&nbsp;to&nbsp;solve&nbsp;real-world vision AI and we are,” he said in an earnings call in April. “And the key to solving this is also having some massive data set. So just having well over <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> million cars on the road that are collecting data… But I am highly confident that we&nbsp;will&nbsp;get&nbsp;this&nbsp;done.”</p>\n<p>But for all of Musk’s bluster and huge fan base, investors are starting to note that the company’s tactics involving full self-driving technology are dangerous, as opposed to the other companies that are testing autonomous vehicles.</p>\n<p>For example, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOOG\">Alphabet</a> Inc.’sGOOGGOOGLWaymo, the company with the most hours of autonomous vehicle driving, is currently operating a small scale robotaxi service in parts of Arizona around Phoenix that are not densely populated, without human drivers. It is the only one of its kind in the U.S. In California, Waymo has permits from the DMV to conduct AV testing with a human driver behind the wheel.</p>\n<p>“Waymo cannot just start selling their AVs to anyone, and they can’t just drive them on the roadway, our regulatory system does not allow for that,” Talbott of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMSWA\">American</a> University said. “You can test them but no publicly available self-driving car is on the market for purchase because it doesn’t exist.”</p>\n<p>With FSD testing being done in the real world with untrained drivers, Tesla is conducting the equivalent of clinical trials of a new drug without any professional hourly or daily monitoring of the patient.</p>\n<p>“They are calling it beta, it is a beta system, they are exposing people to substantive risk,” Reimer said.</p>\n<p>Musk’s latest bot is yet another distraction, much like the flame thrower in 2018 sold by his Boring Company, his unwanted assistance to try and help the boys stuck in a cave in Thailand, and other projects. Investors should not let these distractions get in the way of the real issues that Musk seems to be refusing to acknowledge as he continues to oversell his company’s technological abilities.</p>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

NHTSA said that itopened an inquiry into 11 Tesla crashesthat involved emergency vehicles, while still investigating a series of collisions involving cars enabled with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and tractor-trailers.\nThe latest outcry on Capitol Hill follows a stream of news reports and/or social media posts and YouTube videos of drivers engaging in extremely risky behavior while testing the so-called self-driving features of their Tesla. In May, Steven Michael Hendrickson,a 35-year-old father of two in Fontana, Calif., died when his Tesla hit an overturned semitruck. Earlier he had posted videos of driving without his hands on the wheel of his car on the freeway, but the NHTSA was still investigating the role of Autopilot in the crash.\n“The vehicles that Tesla is producing are driver-assisted systems,” said Bryan Reimer, a research scientist at the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics. “They are assisting the driver, and the driver needs to maintain vigilance.”\nIt is important to note the difference between Tesla’s dual products with misleading names. “Autopilot” is an ADAS system, a highly advanced version of cruise control meant for highway driving that enables “your car to steer, accelerate and brake automatically within its lane under your active supervision, assisting with the most burdensome parts of driving,” according to Tesla’s website. Tesla also offers the “FSD” package, now available by a subscription of $99 to $199 a month, which it describes as “access to a suite of more advanced driver assistance features, designed to provide more active guidance and assisted driving under your active supervision.”\nIf only Musk described these systems in a similar manner to the official website. In analyst conference calls and in Tesla’s multi-hour long presentations to its fan base, Musk has been proclaiming that with this software, full autonomy is around the corner.\n“We basically have to solve real-world vision AI and we are,” he said in an earnings call in April. “And the key to solving this is also having some massive data set. So just having well over one million cars on the road that are collecting data… But I am highly confident that we will get this done.”\nBut for all of Musk’s bluster and huge fan base, investors are starting to note that the company’s tactics involving full self-driving technology are dangerous, as opposed to the other companies that are testing autonomous vehicles.\nFor example, Alphabet Inc.’sGOOGGOOGLWaymo, the company with the most hours of autonomous vehicle driving, is currently operating a small scale robotaxi service in parts of Arizona around Phoenix that are not densely populated, without human drivers. It is the only one of its kind in the U.S. In California, Waymo has permits from the DMV to conduct AV testing with a human driver behind the wheel.\n“Waymo cannot just start selling their AVs to anyone, and they can’t just drive them on the roadway, our regulatory system does not allow for that,” Talbott of American University said. “You can test them but no publicly available self-driving car is on the market for purchase because it doesn’t exist.”\nWith FSD testing being done in the real world with untrained drivers, Tesla is conducting the equivalent of clinical trials of a new drug without any professional hourly or daily monitoring of the patient.\n“They are calling it beta, it is a beta system, they are exposing people to substantive risk,” Reimer said.\nMusk’s latest bot is yet another distraction, much like the flame thrower in 2018 sold by his Boring Company, his unwanted assistance to try and help the boys stuck in a cave in Thailand, and other projects. Investors should not let these distractions get in the way of the real issues that Musk seems to be refusing to acknowledge as he continues to oversell his company’s technological abilities.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":155,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
