Plenty of people like to think they're committed to their holdings for the long haul. When things get dicey, though, a sizable swath of this crowd bails out of these investments.</p>\n<p>That can be a big mistake, of course. Most people struggle to see the market's true short-term highs and lows, meaning they get out (or in) at less than ideal times. Often, the best decision you can make is deciding to do nothing at all, taking your lumps on faith those beaten-down stocks will eventually recover.</p>\n<p>With that as the backdrop, here's a closer look at three long-term investments you can actually commit to for the long term. Each <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> is built not only to last, but to thrive no matter what the future has in store.</p>\n<h2>1. Alphabet</h2>\n<p>Sure, it's technically a consumer tech name, and technology is generally prone to being made obsolete by, well, newer technologies. If there were ever a tech name shielded from the never-ending cycle of improved tech, though, it's likely Google parent<b> Alphabet</b> (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL).</p>\n<p>Think about it. While there was a time when consumers clearly functioned without either one, the internet and smartphones have become de facto centerpieces of our lives. Chances are, we're not going to give them up now. And Alphabet is the powerhouse on both fronts, with Google fielding 92% of the world's web searches (according to numbers from GlobalStats' statcounter) and its Android mobile operating system installed on nearly 73% of the world's mobile devices. In fact, when broadening this look to all consumer tech devices like notebooks and tablets, there are more Android-powered devices than there are machines running <b>Microsoft</b> Windows.</p>\n<p>This reach of course positions Google as a gatekeeper to the world wide web, giving Alphabet a variety of ways to monetize all of its platforms.</p>\n<p>And it's done so quite well. The company's year-over-year revenue comparison has fallen in only two quarters since 2006, and one of those quarters was the second quarter of last year when the COVID-19 pandemic was rapidly spreading. In fact, we've also only seen the company's quarterly top line fall twice on a sequential basis -- from the previous calendar quarter -- for the same time frame, and again, one of those two instances was linked to COVID-19. It's all due to consumers' habitual reliance on Google and/or their Android devices.</p>\n<h2>2. Walt Disney</h2>\n<p>Entertainment giant <b>Walt Disney</b> (NYSE:DIS) is nowhere near as consistent as Alphabet when it comes to driving revenue; the pandemic was downright devastating to the company. Nevertheless, Disney is a long-term winner -- not because it does one thing incredibly well, but because it can do a variety of things incredibly well when one piece of its business is struggling.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F643205%2Folder-investors.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>You likely know all about Disney's theme parks and movies. You've also heard plenty of late about their streaming platform, Disney+. What you may not realize, however, is how minor those ventures are compared to the company's other lower-profile operations.</p>\n<p>Before COVID-19 rattled the world beginning in early 2020, television -- Disney, ESPN, and ABC -- collectively accounted for roughly one-third of Walt Disney's revenue, parks and resorts along with licensed product sales made up another third of its top line, films were 16% of its business mix, and its direct-to-consumer and international arm (think Hulu and ESPN+) contributed 13% of its top line. With the pandemic still crimping some segments of the entertainment industry and after the launch of Disney+, direct-to-consumer alone now makes up nearly one-third of the company's top line, while other divisions now contribute relatively less revenue.</p>\n<p>But that's the point. Walt Disney's always got something to sell to someone; oftentimes it's got several products and services to offer to the same consumers. It may not be completely recession-proof, but it's certainly recession-resistant, and it's also able to capture more than its fair share of growth stemming from a strong economy.</p>\n<h2>3. SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</h2>\n<p>Finally, add the <b>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</b> (NYSEMKT:SPY) to your list of long-term investments you'll be glad you tucked away.</p>\n<p>Unlike Walt Disney and Alphabet, owning an index-based fund isn't an attempt to outperform the market. It's just an attempt to match the market's overall performance; in some ways it's also an admission that, given enough time, you probably can't beat the market.</p>\n<p>Statistically speaking though, that's not a bad bet.</p>\n<p>Data from Standard &amp; Poor's tells the story, pointing out that measuring results from the end of the year 2000 and the end of 2020, around 94% of actively managed mutual funds available to U.S. investors didn't perform as well as the <b>S&amp;P 500 Index</b> (SNPINDEX:^GSPC). The results are similarly bad when you look at shorter time frames.</p>\n<p>Why can't many of these professional fund managers do what they're presumably trained and paid to do even when they're giving it a full-time effort? Because timing trade entries and exits is hard to do well.

Plenty of people like to think they're committed to their holdings for the long haul. When things get dicey, though, a sizable swath of this crowd bails out of these investments.\nThat can be a big mistake, of course. Most people struggle to see the market's true short-term highs and lows, meaning they get out (or in) at less than ideal times. Often, the best decision you can make is deciding to do nothing at all, taking your lumps on faith those beaten-down stocks will eventually recover.\nWith that as the backdrop, here's a closer look at three long-term investments you can actually commit to for the long term. Each one is built not only to last, but to thrive no matter what the future has in store.\n1. Alphabet\nSure, it's technically a consumer tech name, and technology is generally prone to being made obsolete by, well, newer technologies. If there were ever a tech name shielded from the never-ending cycle of improved tech, though, it's likely Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL).\nThink about it. While there was a time when consumers clearly functioned without either one, the internet and smartphones have become de facto centerpieces of our lives. Chances are, we're not going to give them up now. And Alphabet is the powerhouse on both fronts, with Google fielding 92% of the world's web searches (according to numbers from GlobalStats' statcounter) and its Android mobile operating system installed on nearly 73% of the world's mobile devices. In fact, when broadening this look to all consumer tech devices like notebooks and tablets, there are more Android-powered devices than there are machines running Microsoft Windows.\nThis reach of course positions Google as a gatekeeper to the world wide web, giving Alphabet a variety of ways to monetize all of its platforms.\nAnd it's done so quite well. The company's year-over-year revenue comparison has fallen in only two quarters since 2006, and one of those quarters was the second quarter of last year when the COVID-19 pandemic was rapidly spreading. In fact, we've also only seen the company's quarterly top line fall twice on a sequential basis -- from the previous calendar quarter -- for the same time frame, and again, one of those two instances was linked to COVID-19. It's all due to consumers' habitual reliance on Google and/or their Android devices.\n2. Walt Disney\nEntertainment giant Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) is nowhere near as consistent as Alphabet when it comes to driving revenue; the pandemic was downright devastating to the company. Nevertheless, Disney is a long-term winner -- not because it does one thing incredibly well, but because it can do a variety of things incredibly well when one piece of its business is struggling.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nYou likely know all about Disney's theme parks and movies. You've also heard plenty of late about their streaming platform, Disney+. What you may not realize, however, is how minor those ventures are compared to the company's other lower-profile operations.\nBefore COVID-19 rattled the world beginning in early 2020, television -- Disney, ESPN, and ABC -- collectively accounted for roughly one-third of Walt Disney's revenue, parks and resorts along with licensed product sales made up another third of its top line, films were 16% of its business mix, and its direct-to-consumer and international arm (think Hulu and ESPN+) contributed 13% of its top line. With the pandemic still crimping some segments of the entertainment industry and after the launch of Disney+, direct-to-consumer alone now makes up nearly one-third of the company's top line, while other divisions now contribute relatively less revenue.\nBut that's the point. Walt Disney's always got something to sell to someone; oftentimes it's got several products and services to offer to the same consumers. It may not be completely recession-proof, but it's certainly recession-resistant, and it's also able to capture more than its fair share of growth stemming from a strong economy.\n3. SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust\nFinally, add the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEMKT:SPY) to your list of long-term investments you'll be glad you tucked away.\nUnlike Walt Disney and Alphabet, owning an index-based fund isn't an attempt to outperform the market. It's just an attempt to match the market's overall performance; in some ways it's also an admission that, given enough time, you probably can't beat the market.\nStatistically speaking though, that's not a bad bet.\nData from Standard & Poor's tells the story, pointing out that measuring results from the end of the year 2000 and the end of 2020, around 94% of actively managed mutual funds available to U.S. investors didn't perform as well as the S&P 500 Index (SNPINDEX:^GSPC). The results are similarly bad when you look at shorter time frames.\nWhy can't many of these professional fund managers do what they're presumably trained and paid to do even when they're giving it a full-time effort? Because timing trade entries and exits is hard to do well. That doesn't prevent these folks from attempting it in their hunt for market-beating results, however.\nIt's possible you could have better luck. In fact, the whole purpose of highlighting Alphabet and Walt Disney is that these two names have the potential to outpace the broad market's gains.\nBoth of those individual stock picks still require long-term holding periods to make the most of their potential, though. So the best thing to do is likely to just leave them alone as long as you can, and round them out with an index-based ETF you can also truly commit to for the long haul.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":564,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":881129217,"gmtCreate":1631318367539,"gmtModify":1676530526058,"author":{"id":"3576206774226035","authorId":"3576206774226035","name":"YWC","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"J","listText":"J","text":"J","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/881129217","repostId":"2166711113","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2166711113","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1631317686,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2166711113?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-11 07:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S., EU advance talks to protect data transfers- WSJ","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2166711113","media":"Reuters","summary":"Sept 10 (Reuters) -

A similar investment in Jabil would be worth close to $2,700 now. The good part is that both companies could at least equal, if not outperform, their stellar gains in the coming years. Let's take a look at the reasons why it still makes sense to invest $1,000 in these tech stocks.</p>\n<h3>Qorvo: Riding the 5G wave</h3>\n<p>Qorvo is benefiting from multiple hot tech trends right now, but its biggest catalyst remains the 5G smartphone market. The chipmaker's revenue in fiscal 2021 (which ended on April 3) shot up 24% year over year to $4.02 billion. It finished the year with a gross profit margin of 46.9%, up substantially over the prior year's figure of 40.8%.</p>\n<p>Qorvo credited the \"higher demand for our 5G mobile solutions, 5G base station products, and Wi-Fi products\" for this impressive showing. The good news is that all these verticals are still in their early phases of growth. For instance, 5G smartphone shipments are expected to jump from an estimated 239 million units in 2020 to 1.12 billion units by 2025, according&nbsp;to Taiwan-based Market Intelligence &amp; Consulting Institute.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4f9ffe2f3eb673512439f8114e7d18f2\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"510\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GTY\">Getty</a> Images.</p>\n<p>With Qorvo getting just over 71% of its total&nbsp;revenue from the mobile products segment last quarter, the 5G smartphone boom is going to move the needle significantly for the company. After all, the chipmaker supplies its wireless components to the leading players in the 5G smartphone space, including <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a></b> (NASDAQ:AAPL). The iPhone maker produced 30%&nbsp;of Qorvo's total revenue last fiscal year.</p>\n<p>This sizable reliance on Apple is a good thing for Qorvo as the tech giant is on fire in the 5G smartphone era. The iPhone 12 has been a runaway hit among consumers looking to make the move to a 5G device from their older iPhones, and there are at least 800 million customers in Apple's installed base that have yet to make the move to 5G. As a result, Apple is going to be a long-term catalyst for Qorvo's mobile business thanks to the massive iPhone volume opportunity at hand.</p>\n<p>Its relationship with other smartphone OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) such&nbsp;as <b>Samsung</b> and <b>Xiaomi</b> will also come in handy in the long run, as these companies are dominant&nbsp;players in the 5G smartphone market along with Apple.</p>\n<p>More importantly, the improved 5G smartphone volumes will help Qorvo generate faster revenue and earnings growth. That's because the radio-frequency (RF) content in mid-range 5G smartphones is doubling over their 4G predecessors, while high-end devices are witnessing an additional $5 to $7 in wireless content.</p>\n<p>Thanks to the 5G tailwind, Qorvo is anticipated to record 16% annual earnings growth for the next five years, up from the 6% annual growth seen in the last five years. This makes it an attractive growth stock to buy right now at 29.7 times trailing earnings, which is lower than the Nasdaq 100 Index's rich multiple we saw earlier.</p>\n<h3>Jabil: Diverse growth drivers should lead to better times</h3>\n<p>Jabil has made a fine comeback this year after the novel coronavirus pandemic derailed the company's growth in 2020. The contract electronics manufacturer delivered a solid third-quarter earnings report&nbsp;in June, recording 14% year-over-year revenue growth to $7.2 billion. Non-GAAP earnings had shot up to $1.30 per share during the quarter from $0.37 per share a year ago. <b>&nbsp;</b></p>\n<p>Even better, Jabil upgraded its full-year guidance on the back of impressive momentum in the cloud, mobility, semiconductor, automotive, and connected devices markets. These end markets are on track to grow nicely for Jabil this year and beyond.</p>\n<p>In mobility, for instance, Jabil expects $4.1 billion in revenue this fiscal year, up 24% over fiscal 2020. That's not surprising as 20%&nbsp;of the company's total revenue comes from manufacturing casings for Apple's iPhone and iPad. We have already seen that Apple's 5G iPhones are selling like hotcakes, and they can keep doing so thanks to an upgrade supercycle that's currently playing out. This should rub off positively on Jabil's prospects as well since it has a close relationship with Apple.</p>\n<p>However, Jabil draws its revenue from a wider number of verticals. The automotive and transportation segment, for example, is expected&nbsp;to deliver $2.2 billion in revenue this year, up 29% from last year. This business seems to have solid long-term potential as the global automotive contract manufacturing space is expected to clock 7.2% annual growth through 2027, according&nbsp;to a third-party estimate.</p>\n<p>Similarly, Jabil provides contract manufacturing services to connected device manufacturers, semiconductor capital equipment makers, cloud computing customers, and networking and storage providers, among others. Grand View Research estimates&nbsp;that the global contract electronics manufacturing market could be worth $800 billion by 2027 as compared to $417 billion at the end of 2019.</p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, Jabil's bottom line is expected to grow at nearly 20% per year for the next five years, as it seems to be on track to take advantage of the huge end-market opportunity that lies ahead. And now would be a great time to buy this tech stock as it is trading at just 14 times trailing earnings, which makes it way cheaper&nbsp;than the indexes discussed earlier. What's more, Jabil's forward earnings multiple of just 9.3 makes it even more attractive, giving investors another great reason to consider putting $1,000 in the stock.</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>Got $1,000?

For instance, 5G smartphone shipments are expected to jump from an estimated 239 million units in 2020 to 1.12 billion units by 2025, according to Taiwan-based Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nWith Qorvo getting just over 71% of its total revenue from the mobile products segment last quarter, the 5G smartphone boom is going to move the needle significantly for the company. After all, the chipmaker supplies its wireless components to the leading players in the 5G smartphone space, including Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). The iPhone maker produced 30% of Qorvo's total revenue last fiscal year.\nThis sizable reliance on Apple is a good thing for Qorvo as the tech giant is on fire in the 5G smartphone era. The iPhone 12 has been a runaway hit among consumers looking to make the move to a 5G device from their older iPhones, and there are at least 800 million customers in Apple's installed base that have yet to make the move to 5G. As a result, Apple is going to be a long-term catalyst for Qorvo's mobile business thanks to the massive iPhone volume opportunity at hand.\nIts relationship with other smartphone OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) such as Samsung and Xiaomi will also come in handy in the long run, as these companies are dominant players in the 5G smartphone market along with Apple.\nMore importantly, the improved 5G smartphone volumes will help Qorvo generate faster revenue and earnings growth. That's because the radio-frequency (RF) content in mid-range 5G smartphones is doubling over their 4G predecessors, while high-end devices are witnessing an additional $5 to $7 in wireless content.\nThanks to the 5G tailwind, Qorvo is anticipated to record 16% annual earnings growth for the next five years, up from the 6% annual growth seen in the last five years. This makes it an attractive growth stock to buy right now at 29.7 times trailing earnings, which is lower than the Nasdaq 100 Index's rich multiple we saw earlier.\nJabil: Diverse growth drivers should lead to better times\nJabil has made a fine comeback this year after the novel coronavirus pandemic derailed the company's growth in 2020. The contract electronics manufacturer delivered a solid third-quarter earnings report in June, recording 14% year-over-year revenue growth to $7.2 billion. Non-GAAP earnings had shot up to $1.30 per share during the quarter from $0.37 per share a year ago.  \nEven better, Jabil upgraded its full-year guidance on the back of impressive momentum in the cloud, mobility, semiconductor, automotive, and connected devices markets. These end markets are on track to grow nicely for Jabil this year and beyond.\nIn mobility, for instance, Jabil expects $4.1 billion in revenue this fiscal year, up 24% over fiscal 2020. That's not surprising as 20% of the company's total revenue comes from manufacturing casings for Apple's iPhone and iPad. We have already seen that Apple's 5G iPhones are selling like hotcakes, and they can keep doing so thanks to an upgrade supercycle that's currently playing out. This should rub off positively on Jabil's prospects as well since it has a close relationship with Apple.\nHowever, Jabil draws its revenue from a wider number of verticals. The automotive and transportation segment, for example, is expected to deliver $2.2 billion in revenue this year, up 29% from last year. This business seems to have solid long-term potential as the global automotive contract manufacturing space is expected to clock 7.2% annual growth through 2027, according to a third-party estimate.\nSimilarly, Jabil provides contract manufacturing services to connected device manufacturers, semiconductor capital equipment makers, cloud computing customers, and networking and storage providers, among others. Grand View Research estimates that the global contract electronics manufacturing market could be worth $800 billion by 2027 as compared to $417 billion at the end of 2019.\nNot surprisingly, Jabil's bottom line is expected to grow at nearly 20% per year for the next five years, as it seems to be on track to take advantage of the huge end-market opportunity that lies ahead. And now would be a great time to buy this tech stock as it is trading at just 14 times trailing earnings, which makes it way cheaper than the indexes discussed earlier. What's more, Jabil's forward earnings multiple of just 9.3 makes it even more attractive, giving investors another great reason to consider putting $1,000 in the stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":152,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":176374696,"gmtCreate":1626867964515,"gmtModify":1703479549881,"author":{"id":"3576206774226035","authorId":"3576206774226035","name":"YWC","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hi","listText":"Hi","text":"Hi","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/176374696","repostId":"2153271610","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2153271610","pubTimestamp":1626867540,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2153271610?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-21 19:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Looking for Tech Stocks?

Lumen</h3>\n<p>Admittedly, Lumen became cheap for a reason over the past several years. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CUBI\">Customers</a> cutting landline phones and cable TV services sent shares plummeting, leading to single-digit stock prices and dividend cuts. However, the company has now redirected its focus, offering edge computing, cloud, infrastructure, network, and security services. It also supports wireless providers such as <b>T-Mobile</b>, serving as the backbone of 5G networks.</p>\n<p>Its stock has risen by more than 32% over the last year, and it's valued relatively fairly at just eight times earnings, well below the technology sector's average P/E ratio, which stands at 39, according to Fidelity.</p>\n<p>Struggles with revenue may explain why Lumen still trades at a low multiple. Revenue fell 4% in the first quarter, compared to 12 months ago, to just over $5 billion. In fiscal 2020, it dropped 3% from year-ago levels to $20.7 billion.</p>\n<p>Fortunately, free cash flow of $2.8 billion in 2020 and $809 million in Q1 have allowed it to cover quarterly dividend expenses of $274 million. This dividend, which pays $1 per share annually, yields about 7.7%, well above the average yield for the <b>S&amp;P 500 </b>of 1.3%.</p>\n<p>The company has also used its free cash flow to reduce and refinance its massive debt. Indeed, $31.4 billion is a heavy debt burden for a company with $11.3 billion in stockholders' equity (the value of the company after subtracting liabilities from assets). Nonetheless, long-term debt has fallen by $4 billion since Q1 2019.</p>\n<p>Although revenue gains remain elusive for now, the balance sheet continues to improve, and investors earn a generous cash return. If this trend continues, Lumen may not have a reason to stay this cheap for much longer.</p>\n<h3>2. Qualcomm</h3>\n<p>Qualcomm prospers by maintaining wireless patents that give the company an edge in smartphone chipsets. Consequently, Qualcomm receives a cut on every smartphone chipset in the world.</p>\n<p>Admittedly, companies such as Taiwan-based MediaTek have become a competitive threat. However, thanks to its 5G-capable Snapdragon 888 and upcoming Snapdragon 888 Plus processors, it holds a technical lead in a market expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 69% through 2028, according to Grand View Research.</p>\n<p>This 5G upgrade cycle helped increase revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2021 to $16.2 billion, a 57% increase from the first six months of 2020. Also, net income surged by 203% during that period to $4.2 billion. Smaller increases in the cost of revenue and operating costs along with positive investment-related income helped to boost earnings.</p>\n<p>Qualcomm projects between $7.1 billion and $7.9 billion in revenue for Q3. This will lead to an increase of between 49% and 62%, if the forecast holds. That also amounts to a considerable return when considering the stock sells for approximately 20 times earnings.</p>\n<p>Additionally, the $5.1 billion in free cash flow over the first six months easily covered $1.5 billion in dividend costs. That $2.72 per share annual payout produces a cash return of 1.9%. Considering the stock price rose by nearly 60% over the last 12 months, the 5G upgrade cycle and the low multiple make the Qualcomm value proposition difficult to match.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://media.ycharts.com/charts/294b93f672edf72d1a786cf983d18a94.png\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>LUMN data by YCharts</p>\n<h3>3. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VZ\">Verizon</a></h3>\n<p>Value investors may also take an interest in a telecom provider like Verizon, which is locked in a battle with T-Mobile and <b>AT&amp;T </b>to provide 5G services. In January, for the 26th consecutive time, Verizon earned the title of the most-awarded brand from J.D. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PW\">Power</a> for network quality. To keep up with consumers' quality expectations, Verizon made a $45 billion investment in C-Band spectrum in the first quarter of this year. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPB\">Spectrum</a> amounts to real estate for wireless frequencies, and this buys Verizon usage rights. Thus, it can utilize such \"property\" to improve the quality of its 5G service.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, 5G appears poised to make Verizon a network-as-a-service (NaaS) provider, something not possible with 4G technology. This provides network infrastructure services as a subscription-based model to enable and connect applications. This will power artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, among other things. In its Q1 2021 earnings call, Verizon cited <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HMC\">Honda</a></b>'s self-driving cars and immersive learning at Arizona <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STT\">State</a> University as examples of activities this service supports.</p>\n<p>Verizon stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 12 reflects the company's recent struggles. In 2020, revenue fell 3% compared with 2019 levels. This occurred mostly because service revenues fell only slightly while wireless equipment revenues plunged 15% during that period amid a drop in activity during the pandemic.&nbsp;This seems to have changed in the first quarter of 2021, as wireless equipment revenue surged 20% compared with year-ago levels. Still, with the 4% year-over-year increase in overall revenue during that time, investors may have little incentive to bid the earnings multiple higher.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Verizon pays investors well to wait for a recovery. Its $2.51 per share annual dividend yields a cash return of 4.5%, making it <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of Warren Buffett's highest-yielding dividend stocks. In 2020, $23.6 billion in free cash flow made the $10.2 billion in dividend expenses manageable, even with $18.2 billion in capital expenditures. The company has raised its dividend every year since 2007, increasing the likelihood that a 2021 dividend hike will come.</p>\n<p>Such a payout along with a burgeoning NaaS business may give patient investors good reason to take a chance on Verizon.</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>Looking for Tech Stocks?

To keep up with consumers' quality expectations, Verizon made a $45 billion investment in C-Band spectrum in the first quarter of this year. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPB\">Spectrum</a> amounts to real estate for wireless frequencies, and this buys Verizon usage rights.

In 2020, $23.6 billion in free cash flow made the $10.2 billion in dividend expenses manageable, even with $18.2 billion in capital expenditures.

However, not all tech companies trade at expensive valuations. Some tech stocks like Lumen Technologies (NYSE:LUMN), Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM), and Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) not only trade at low multiples, but also utilize cutting-edge technology to drive sales and, hopefully, investor gains.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. Lumen\nAdmittedly, Lumen became cheap for a reason over the past several years. Customers cutting landline phones and cable TV services sent shares plummeting, leading to single-digit stock prices and dividend cuts. However, the company has now redirected its focus, offering edge computing, cloud, infrastructure, network, and security services. It also supports wireless providers such as T-Mobile, serving as the backbone of 5G networks.\nIts stock has risen by more than 32% over the last year, and it's valued relatively fairly at just eight times earnings, well below the technology sector's average P/E ratio, which stands at 39, according to Fidelity.\nStruggles with revenue may explain why Lumen still trades at a low multiple. Revenue fell 4% in the first quarter, compared to 12 months ago, to just over $5 billion. In fiscal 2020, it dropped 3% from year-ago levels to $20.7 billion.\nFortunately, free cash flow of $2.8 billion in 2020 and $809 million in Q1 have allowed it to cover quarterly dividend expenses of $274 million. This dividend, which pays $1 per share annually, yields about 7.7%, well above the average yield for the S&P 500 of 1.3%.\nThe company has also used its free cash flow to reduce and refinance its massive debt. Indeed, $31.4 billion is a heavy debt burden for a company with $11.3 billion in stockholders' equity (the value of the company after subtracting liabilities from assets). Nonetheless, long-term debt has fallen by $4 billion since Q1 2019.\nAlthough revenue gains remain elusive for now, the balance sheet continues to improve, and investors earn a generous cash return. If this trend continues, Lumen may not have a reason to stay this cheap for much longer.\n2. Qualcomm\nQualcomm prospers by maintaining wireless patents that give the company an edge in smartphone chipsets. Consequently, Qualcomm receives a cut on every smartphone chipset in the world.\nAdmittedly, companies such as Taiwan-based MediaTek have become a competitive threat. However, thanks to its 5G-capable Snapdragon 888 and upcoming Snapdragon 888 Plus processors, it holds a technical lead in a market expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 69% through 2028, according to Grand View Research.\nThis 5G upgrade cycle helped increase revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2021 to $16.2 billion, a 57% increase from the first six months of 2020. Also, net income surged by 203% during that period to $4.2 billion. Smaller increases in the cost of revenue and operating costs along with positive investment-related income helped to boost earnings.\nQualcomm projects between $7.1 billion and $7.9 billion in revenue for Q3. This will lead to an increase of between 49% and 62%, if the forecast holds. That also amounts to a considerable return when considering the stock sells for approximately 20 times earnings.\nAdditionally, the $5.1 billion in free cash flow over the first six months easily covered $1.5 billion in dividend costs. That $2.72 per share annual payout produces a cash return of 1.9%. Considering the stock price rose by nearly 60% over the last 12 months, the 5G upgrade cycle and the low multiple make the Qualcomm value proposition difficult to match.\n\nLUMN data by YCharts\n3. Verizon\nValue investors may also take an interest in a telecom provider like Verizon, which is locked in a battle with T-Mobile and AT&T to provide 5G services.

Spectrum amounts to real estate for wireless frequencies, and this buys Verizon usage rights. Thus, it can utilize such \"property\" to improve the quality of its 5G service.\nFurthermore, 5G appears poised to make Verizon a network-as-a-service (NaaS) provider, something not possible with 4G technology. This provides network infrastructure services as a subscription-based model to enable and connect applications. This will power artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, among other things. In its Q1 2021 earnings call, Verizon cited Honda's self-driving cars and immersive learning at Arizona State University as examples of activities this service supports.\nVerizon stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 12 reflects the company's recent struggles.

Many companies faced adversity throughout the pandemic, and some are still recovering, but not BABA. Through the worst economic environment for businesses to navigate in recent times, BABA generated over $100 billion in revenue and $20 billion in net income during their recent fiscal year. While BABA didn't get the memo about businesses facing challenges amidst the pandemic, the market must not have read BABA's earnings report or crunched the numbers.</p>\n<p>There are two Chinese companies I am bullish on, and BABA is my biggest conviction for appreciation. BABA smashed through the $300 share price level at the end of October 2020, but shareholders have been left confused and disappointed since then. It looked like BABA would turn the corner after a horrible end to 2020 as shares appreciated from $222.36 from the close of 2020 to $270.83 in the middle of February 2021. Still, the markets had other plans, and all shares of BABA have done is disappoint shareholders. If you missed the BABA train, it's time to grab your tickets and climb aboard, and if you purchased BABA during its run to $300 or early 2021 rebound, it might be time to add to your holdings. BABA is going to experience tremendous tailwinds from China's population and economic growth over the next several years, and their printing press is going to need more ink.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86da7b532f25f563d08490ddc43cbede\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"337\"><span>(Source: Alibaba)</span></p>\n<p><b>The Alibaba printing press is open for business, and it spits out billions</b></p>\n<p>How many companies can say their annual revenue through the pandemic exceeded $100 billion? The $100 billion revenue mark is a prestigious club that companies such as&nbsp;Facebook (FB),PepsiCo (PEP),Procter &amp; Gamble (PG),Target (TGT), and&nbsp;Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ)&nbsp;are not part of. BABA, on the other hand, witnessed its revenue increase by 52.11% and smash through $100 billion as they generated $109.47 billion in their recent fiscal year. For the year ending March 2019, BABA's revenue increased by $16.25 billion (40.74%) to $56.15 billion, then for the March 2020 fiscal year, revenue increased another $15.82 billion (28.17%) to $71.97 billion. BABA is in the same boat as Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG)(GOOGL), FB, and Amazon (AMZN) as they watched the pandemic push more people to go digital which accelerated their businesses. For BABA, the forced transition to digital helped them achieve $37.5 billion (52.11%) in additional revenue as they finished their March 2021 fiscal year with $109.47 billion in revenue.</p>\n<p>Since 2013 BABA has not had a year where their annual revenue increase didn't exceed 25% Year over Year (YoY). When you think about that as a growth rate, it's remarkable for a company of BABA's size as this isn't a company chasing its first billion-dollar revenue year. Over the past 5 fiscal years, BABA's annual revenue has increased by $93.8 billion (408.08%) at an average annual rate of 48.25%. Smaller companies considered growth companies would be jealous of these rates, while many large caps are probably envious.</p>\n<p>BABA isn't a one-trick pony that can only generate tens of billions in revenue. BABA can convert right down to the bottom line. Each year BABA has increased its YoY gross profit by a minimum of 10% since 2013. In 2016 BABA generated $10.35 billion in gross profit and, over the next 5 fiscal years, increased its annual gross profit by $34.84 billion (336.68%). BABA has also never fallen below a 40% gross profit margin, Warren Buffett's magic number, as he indicates in<i>Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements. On page 34 of the Kindle edition,it says:</i></p>\n<blockquote>\n As a very general rule (and there are exceptions): Companies with gross profit margins of 40% or better tend to be companies with some sort of durable competitive advantage. Companies with gross profit margins below 40% tend to be companies in highly competitive industries, where competition is hurting overall profit margins (there are exceptions here, too).\n</blockquote>\n<p>The gross profit margin is important for investors to evaluate because it reveals how much of a company's revenue goes directly to producing it and if they have a moat around their business. BABA's numbers indicate they have a sufficient moat around their business that is hard to penetrate. With close to a decade of generating over 40% in gross profit margins, investors can expect that BABA's moat will protect its business operations for years to come.</p>\n<p>Moving to the bottom line BABA does a great job at generating profits. In their most recent fiscal year, BABA generated $22.98 billion in net income, converting more than 1/5th (20.99%) of their revenue to pure profits. Since 2013 BABA has only had 1 year where net income decreases YoY. With that track record, many options open up for BABA in the future as their cash stockpile continues to increase.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/41a5e036f023fa4ced7666e06aa1de6b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"444\"><span>(Source: Alibaba)</span></p>\n<p><b>Alibaba will continue to experience tailwinds as China's population and economy expands</b></p>\n<p>Alibaba&nbsp;achieved one billion annual active consumers globally in the fiscal year that ended in March 2021. BABA has 891 million consumers across China's retail marketplace, local consumer services and digital media and entertainment platforms, and approximately 240 million consumers outside China. BABA's annual active consumers in the China retail marketplaces were 811 million as it grew by 85 million YoY. BABA will focus on developing a digital commerce infrastructure that offers an upgraded consumer experience by seamlessly integrating online and offline. Through BABA's infrastructure, countless retailers have digitally transformed their businesses and created multiple retail formats that have enabled new consumption experiences by leveraging consumer insights and technology. BABA's ecosystem, supply chain, and diversified fulfillment services have facilitated an immense digital transformation. By investing in its infrastructure, BABA's customers can now leverage a full range of high-frequency fulfillment services that include on-demand delivery, same-or-next day delivery, and next-day pick-up services for a full range of consumable and physical products.</p>\n<p>BABA will continue to be one of the cornerstones that supports growth within China's economy, which is benefiting from the acceleration of digitalization in all aspects of life and work. China is projected to be the world's largest economy by 2028. The per-capita income in China is expected to grow by roughly 50% from 2020 to 2025.China's average economic growth&nbsp;has been projected to increase at a rate of 5.7% from 2021 to 2025, then slow to 4.5% from 2026 to 2030. As a result,China&nbsp;is on track to join the top 1/3rd of nations and overtake 56 countries in the per capita income rankings by 2025. By the end of 2022, McKinsey&nbsp;predicts&nbsp;that the middle class could expand to 550 million people which is larger than the entire U.S population.</p>\n<p>If the projections for China are correct, this should mean a windfall of cash lining BABA's coffers. It's a simple recipe; when people make more money, they tend to spend more money to enhance their lives and increase their standard of living. As BABA is a dominant force in China's retail sector, they stand to benefit from a growing economy and a larger middle class. At the end of next year, if China has anywhere close to 550 million individuals in the middle class, I believe BABA's revenue and profits will increase significantly. This trend can provide tailwinds throughout the decade for BABA, and eventually, the market will reward shareholders based on BABA's value proposition.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bbde4a092d19118a2d16daabf5c027d7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"463\"><span>(Source: Blomberg)</span></p>\n<p><b>Alibaba has tremendous growth prospects in Cloud as China continues its digitization</b></p>\n<p>Cloud computing has been red hot in the U.S. as the transition from on-prem to cloud has increased the technological capabilities for many organizations. As digitization progresses across the business landscape, cloud providers continue to increase revenue generated from their cloud segments within their overall revenue mix. For example, AWS, the cloud computing division from&nbsp;AMZN, generated $45.37 billion in 2020. Cloud continues to be an exciting sector because the digital transformation is far from being over. Hence, the prospects of new customers are enormous while reoccurring revenue is generated after the transition occurs.</p>\n<p>In China, cloud infrastructure services are still in the early innings as the entire spend was around $15 billion in 2020. In Q1 of 2021, cloud infrastructure services in&nbsp;China&nbsp;grew by 55% YoY as it reached $6 billion. China was the 2nd largest market behind the U.S, accounting for 14% of global investment, up from 12% in Q1 of 2020. With cloud spending and digitization in China increasing, this serves as a major runway for growth in Alibaba Cloud.</p>\n<p>As China's economy expands, businesses will need to become more efficient to support both operations and customer demands. Chinese companies will need to implement infrastructure that can support a digital age of the workforce while supporting cloud services used by consumers for consumption. If China passes the U.S. as the world's largest economy in the second half of this decade, the amount of growth needed in cloud services will be immense. BABA is already the leader in cloud infrastructure services in China as their 39.8% market share accounted for $2.39 billion of the $6 billion spent in Q1 2021. Over the previous 6 quarters, cloud infrastructure spending has increased by roughly $2.3 billion (76.67%) in China. Based on cloud's current trajectory, quarterly revenue is on track to double over the next 2 years, putting Q1 2023 revenue at $10.6 billion. If BABA has a 35% market share, their Q1 2023 would be $3.71 billion, placing their 2023 revenue for cloud at $14.84 billion without factoring in any growth in 2023. From a cloud aspect, China's future spending is very exciting, and BABA will be one of the major benefactors.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1759b81ce463d503a165d901e2e50d7c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"728\"><span>(Source: Canalys)</span></p>\n<p><b>Alibaba has stellar financial metrics and is undervalued compared to the U.S. tech conglomerates</b></p>\n<p>For this comparison, I am going to use AMZN and GOOGL as they have been establishing their dominance in the U.S. for more than a decade. First, here are the raw numbers for AMZN, BABA, and GOOGL:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>AMZN</li>\n <li>BABA</li>\n <li>GOOGL</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The market currently places a multiple of 17.03x on AMZN's equity compared to its market cap, while its revenue multiple is 4.2x. GOOGL has a multiple of 7.17x on its equity and 8.39x on its revenue compared to market cap. AMZN and GOOGL's market caps exceed $1.5 trillion, while BABA's sits at $575.57 billion. The market is placing a 3.5x multiple on BABA's equity and 5.26x on its revenue compared to the market cap. Thus, the market is severely discounting BABA's equity and revenue generation. BABA's equity is worth 28.58% of its market cap, while AMZN's equity is equivalent to 5.87%, and GOOGL's is 13.94% of its market cap. The current discount placed on BABA's equity could create an additional tailwind for shareholders in the future.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>It's hard to dismiss the growth opportunities some companies in China are presenting, especially after the recent decline in share prices. However, I believe shares of BABA are currently undervalued based on their current financial metrics and growth rates. China's economy and the amount of capital allocated to cloud service infrastructure are expected to grow substantially over the years. These will create powerful tailwinds for BABA throughout this decade. As a result, I think shareholders have been allowed to establish a BABA or dollar cost average position at a discounted price.

Many companies faced adversity throughout the pandemic, and some are still recovering, but not BABA. Through the worst economic environment for businesses to navigate in recent times, BABA generated over $100 billion in revenue and $20 billion in net income during their recent fiscal year. While BABA didn't get the memo about businesses facing challenges amidst the pandemic, the market must not have read BABA's earnings report or crunched the numbers.\nThere are two Chinese companies I am bullish on, and BABA is my biggest conviction for appreciation. BABA smashed through the $300 share price level at the end of October 2020, but shareholders have been left confused and disappointed since then. It looked like BABA would turn the corner after a horrible end to 2020 as shares appreciated from $222.36 from the close of 2020 to $270.83 in the middle of February 2021. Still, the markets had other plans, and all shares of BABA have done is disappoint shareholders. If you missed the BABA train, it's time to grab your tickets and climb aboard, and if you purchased BABA during its run to $300 or early 2021 rebound, it might be time to add to your holdings. BABA is going to experience tremendous tailwinds from China's population and economic growth over the next several years, and their printing press is going to need more ink.\n(Source: Alibaba)\nThe Alibaba printing press is open for business, and it spits out billions\nHow many companies can say their annual revenue through the pandemic exceeded $100 billion? The $100 billion revenue mark is a prestigious club that companies such as Facebook (FB),PepsiCo (PEP),Procter & Gamble (PG),Target (TGT), and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) are not part of. BABA, on the other hand, witnessed its revenue increase by 52.11% and smash through $100 billion as they generated $109.47 billion in their recent fiscal year. For the year ending March 2019, BABA's revenue increased by $16.25 billion (40.74%) to $56.15 billion, then for the March 2020 fiscal year, revenue increased another $15.82 billion (28.17%) to $71.97 billion. BABA is in the same boat as Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG)(GOOGL), FB, and Amazon (AMZN) as they watched the pandemic push more people to go digital which accelerated their businesses. For BABA, the forced transition to digital helped them achieve $37.5 billion (52.11%) in additional revenue as they finished their March 2021 fiscal year with $109.47 billion in revenue.\nSince 2013 BABA has not had a year where their annual revenue increase didn't exceed 25% Year over Year (YoY). When you think about that as a growth rate, it's remarkable for a company of BABA's size as this isn't a company chasing its first billion-dollar revenue year. Over the past 5 fiscal years, BABA's annual revenue has increased by $93.8 billion (408.08%) at an average annual rate of 48.25%. Smaller companies considered growth companies would be jealous of these rates, while many large caps are probably envious.\nBABA isn't a one-trick pony that can only generate tens of billions in revenue. BABA can convert right down to the bottom line. Each year BABA has increased its YoY gross profit by a minimum of 10% since 2013. In 2016 BABA generated $10.35 billion in gross profit and, over the next 5 fiscal years, increased its annual gross profit by $34.84 billion (336.68%). BABA has also never fallen below a 40% gross profit margin, Warren Buffett's magic number, as he indicates inWarren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements. On page 34 of the Kindle edition,it says:\n\n As a very general rule (and there are exceptions): Companies with gross profit margins of 40% or better tend to be companies with some sort of durable competitive advantage. Companies with gross profit margins below 40% tend to be companies in highly competitive industries, where competition is hurting overall profit margins (there are exceptions here, too).\n\nThe gross profit margin is important for investors to evaluate because it reveals how much of a company's revenue goes directly to producing it and if they have a moat around their business. BABA's numbers indicate they have a sufficient moat around their business that is hard to penetrate. With close to a decade of generating over 40% in gross profit margins, investors can expect that BABA's moat will protect its business operations for years to come.\nMoving to the bottom line BABA does a great job at generating profits. In their most recent fiscal year, BABA generated $22.98 billion in net income, converting more than 1/5th (20.99%) of their revenue to pure profits. Since 2013 BABA has only had 1 year where net income decreases YoY. With that track record, many options open up for BABA in the future as their cash stockpile continues to increase.\n(Source: Alibaba)\nAlibaba will continue to experience tailwinds as China's population and economy expands\nAlibaba achieved one billion annual active consumers globally in the fiscal year that ended in March 2021. BABA has 891 million consumers across China's retail marketplace, local consumer services and digital media and entertainment platforms, and approximately 240 million consumers outside China. BABA's annual active consumers in the China retail marketplaces were 811 million as it grew by 85 million YoY. BABA will focus on developing a digital commerce infrastructure that offers an upgraded consumer experience by seamlessly integrating online and offline. Through BABA's infrastructure, countless retailers have digitally transformed their businesses and created multiple retail formats that have enabled new consumption experiences by leveraging consumer insights and technology. BABA's ecosystem, supply chain, and diversified fulfillment services have facilitated an immense digital transformation. By investing in its infrastructure, BABA's customers can now leverage a full range of high-frequency fulfillment services that include on-demand delivery, same-or-next day delivery, and next-day pick-up services for a full range of consumable and physical products.\nBABA will continue to be one of the cornerstones that supports growth within China's economy, which is benefiting from the acceleration of digitalization in all aspects of life and work. China is projected to be the world's largest economy by 2028. The per-capita income in China is expected to grow by roughly 50% from 2020 to 2025.China's average economic growth has been projected to increase at a rate of 5.7% from 2021 to 2025, then slow to 4.5% from 2026 to 2030. As a result,China is on track to join the top 1/3rd of nations and overtake 56 countries in the per capita income rankings by 2025. By the end of 2022, McKinsey predicts that the middle class could expand to 550 million people which is larger than the entire U.S population.\nIf the projections for China are correct, this should mean a windfall of cash lining BABA's coffers. It's a simple recipe; when people make more money, they tend to spend more money to enhance their lives and increase their standard of living. As BABA is a dominant force in China's retail sector, they stand to benefit from a growing economy and a larger middle class. At the end of next year, if China has anywhere close to 550 million individuals in the middle class, I believe BABA's revenue and profits will increase significantly. This trend can provide tailwinds throughout the decade for BABA, and eventually, the market will reward shareholders based on BABA's value proposition.\n(Source: Blomberg)\nAlibaba has tremendous growth prospects in Cloud as China continues its digitization\nCloud computing has been red hot in the U.S. as the transition from on-prem to cloud has increased the technological capabilities for many organizations. As digitization progresses across the business landscape, cloud providers continue to increase revenue generated from their cloud segments within their overall revenue mix. For example, AWS, the cloud computing division from AMZN, generated $45.37 billion in 2020. Cloud continues to be an exciting sector because the digital transformation is far from being over. Hence, the prospects of new customers are enormous while reoccurring revenue is generated after the transition occurs.\nIn China, cloud infrastructure services are still in the early innings as the entire spend was around $15 billion in 2020. In Q1 of 2021, cloud infrastructure services in China grew by 55% YoY as it reached $6 billion. China was the 2nd largest market behind the U.S, accounting for 14% of global investment, up from 12% in Q1 of 2020. With cloud spending and digitization in China increasing, this serves as a major runway for growth in Alibaba Cloud.\nAs China's economy expands, businesses will need to become more efficient to support both operations and customer demands. Chinese companies will need to implement infrastructure that can support a digital age of the workforce while supporting cloud services used by consumers for consumption. If China passes the U.S. as the world's largest economy in the second half of this decade, the amount of growth needed in cloud services will be immense. BABA is already the leader in cloud infrastructure services in China as their 39.8% market share accounted for $2.39 billion of the $6 billion spent in Q1 2021. Over the previous 6 quarters, cloud infrastructure spending has increased by roughly $2.3 billion (76.67%) in China. Based on cloud's current trajectory, quarterly revenue is on track to double over the next 2 years, putting Q1 2023 revenue at $10.6 billion. If BABA has a 35% market share, their Q1 2023 would be $3.71 billion, placing their 2023 revenue for cloud at $14.84 billion without factoring in any growth in 2023. From a cloud aspect, China's future spending is very exciting, and BABA will be one of the major benefactors.\n(Source: Canalys)\nAlibaba has stellar financial metrics and is undervalued compared to the U.S. tech conglomerates\nFor this comparison, I am going to use AMZN and GOOGL as they have been establishing their dominance in the U.S. for more than a decade. First, here are the raw numbers for AMZN, BABA, and GOOGL:\n\nAMZN\nBABA\nGOOGL\n\nThe market currently places a multiple of 17.03x on AMZN's equity compared to its market cap, while its revenue multiple is 4.2x. GOOGL has a multiple of 7.17x on its equity and 8.39x on its revenue compared to market cap. AMZN and GOOGL's market caps exceed $1.5 trillion, while BABA's sits at $575.57 billion. The market is placing a 3.5x multiple on BABA's equity and 5.26x on its revenue compared to the market cap. Thus, the market is severely discounting BABA's equity and revenue generation. BABA's equity is worth 28.58% of its market cap, while AMZN's equity is equivalent to 5.87%, and GOOGL's is 13.94% of its market cap. The current discount placed on BABA's equity could create an additional tailwind for shareholders in the future.\nConclusion\nIt's hard to dismiss the growth opportunities some companies in China are presenting, especially after the recent decline in share prices. However, I believe shares of BABA are currently undervalued based on their current financial metrics and growth rates. China's economy and the amount of capital allocated to cloud service infrastructure are expected to grow substantially over the years. These will create powerful tailwinds for BABA throughout this decade. As a result, I think shareholders have been allowed to establish a BABA or dollar cost average position at a discounted price. I plan on continuing to add shares to my position while the market is discounting BABA.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":188,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":125195482,"gmtCreate":1624663080446,"gmtModify":1703842911010,"author":{"id":"3576206774226035","authorId":"3576206774226035","name":"YWC","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hi","listText":"Hi","text":"Hi","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/125195482","repostId":"1177764085","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1177764085","pubTimestamp":1624662146,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1177764085?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-26 07:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"S&P 500 climbs to another record led by bank shares, notches its best week since February","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1177764085","media":"CNBC","summary":"U.S. stocks rose on Friday with the S&P 500 building on its rally to records, as investors bet that ","content":"<div>\n<p>U.S. stocks rose on Friday with the S&P 500 building on its rally to records, as investors bet that higher inflation will be temporary as the economy continues to recover from the pandemic.\nThe broad ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/24/stock-market-futures-open-to-close-.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Financials were the best-performing S&P 500 sector with a 1.3% gain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 237.02 points, or 0.7%, to 34,433.84, sitting less than 2% from its record. The Nasdaq Composite erased earlier gains and closed 0.1% lower at 14,360.39 amid a rise in bond yields. The 10-year Treasury yield jumped 4 basis points to 1.52%.\nThe S&P 500 rallied 2.7% for the week, notching its biggest weekly gain since early February. The Dow gained 3.4% this week for its best week since mid-March, while the Nasdaq advanced 2.4%.\nFriday’s rally came after a key inflation indicator that the Federal Reserve uses to set policy rose 3.4% in May, the fastest increase since the early 1990s, the Commerce Department reported Friday. The reading matched the expectation from economists polled by Dow Jones. The core index rose 0.5% for the month, which actually was below the 0.6% estimate.\nThe core personal consumption expenditures price index increase reflects the rapid pace of economic expansion and resulting price pressures, and amplified how far the nation has come since the pandemic-induced shutdown of 2020.\n“This provided support to the Fed’s argument that inflation is transitory and will help allay fears that we are witnessing runaway inflation,” said Anu Gaggar, senior global Investment analyst at Commonwealth Financial Network. “This should continue to provide support to risk assets such as equities.”\nBank shares jumped after the Federal Reserve announced the banking industry could easily withstand a severe recession. The Fed, in releasing the results of its annual stress test, said the 23 institutions in the 2021 exam remained “well above” minimum required capital levels during a hypothetical economic downturn. The decision cleared the way for the banks to raise dividends and buy back more stock, which was suspended during the pandemic.\nWells Fargo climbed 2.6%, while Fifth Third and PNC all gained over 2%. JPMorgan and Bank of America both rose more than 1%.\nNike’s stock surged 15.5%, helping to boost sentiment for the Dow. The company reported earnings and revenue that blew past Wall Street estimates. Digital sales also jumped 41% since last year and 147% from two years ago.\nOn the flipside,FedEx dipped 3.6% despite beating on the top and bottom lines of its earnings. FedEx also gave a strong yearly outlook.\nFriday saw heightened trading volume as FTSE Russell was set to rebalance its U.S. stock indexes at the market close. Bank of America estimated that more than $170 billion worth of shares would be changed hands as a result of 625 changes in total to Russell indexes, including the Russell 1000 and Russell 2000.\nPresident Joe Biden announced Thursday that the White House struck an infrastructure deal with a bipartisan group of senators. The lawmakers have worked for weeks to craft a roughly $1 trillion package that could get through Congress with support from both parties. The framework will include $579 billion in new spending on transportation like roads, bridges and rail, electric vehicle infrastructure and electric transit, among other things.\nThe stock market came back from last week’s swoon induced by worries about a tighter Federal Reserve.

The auction’s proceeds will be donated to Blue Origin’s education-focused nonprofit Club for the Future, which supports kids interested in future STEM careers.\nBlue Origin director of astronaut and orbital sales Ariane Cornell said during the auction webcast that New Shepard’s first passenger flight will carry four people, including Bezos, his brother, the auction winner and a fourth person to be announced later.\nAutonomous spaceflight\nNew Shepard, a rocket that carries a capsule to an altitude of over 340,000 feet, has flown more than a dozen successful test flights without passengers, including one in April at the company’s facility in the Texas desert. It’s designed to carry up to six people and flies autonomously — without needing a pilot. The capsule has massive windows to give passengers a view of the earth below during about three minutes in zero gravity, before returning to Earth.\nBlue Origin’s system launches vertically, and both the rocket and capsule are reusable. The boosters land vertically on a concrete pad at the company’s facility in Van Horn, Texas, while the capsules land using a set of parachutes.\nBezos founded Blue Origin in 2000 and still owns the company, funding it through share sales of his Amazon stock.\nJuly 20 is notable because it also marks the 52nd anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.\nBranson and Musk\nBezos and fellow billionairesElon MuskandSir Richard Bransonarein a race to get to space, but each in different ways.Bezos’ Blue Origin and Branson’sVirgin Galacticare competing to take passengers on short flights to the edge of space, a sector known as suborbital tourism, while Musk’s SpaceX is launching private passengers on further, multi-day flights, in what is known as orbital tourism.\nBoth Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic have been developing rocket-powered spacecraft, but that is where the similarities end. While Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket launches vertically from the ground,Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo system is released mid-air and returns to Earth in a glidefor a runway landing, like an aircraft.\nVirgin Galactic’s system is also flown by two pilots, while Blue Origin’s launches without one.Branson’s company has also flown a test spaceflight with a passenger onboard, although the company has three spaceflight tests remainingbefore it begins flying commercial customers– which is planned to start in 2022.\nSpaceX launches its Crew Dragon spacecraft to orbit atop its reusable Falcon 9 rocket, havingsent 10 astronauts to the International Space Station on three missions to date.\nIn addition to the government flights, Musk’s company is planning to launch multiple private astronaut missions in the year ahead – beginning withthe all-civilian Inspiration4 missionthat is planned for September. SpaceX is also launchingat least four private missions for Axiom Space, starting early next year.\nBlue Origin’s auction may have netted $28 million, but a seat on a suborbital spacecraft is typically much less expensive. Virgin Galactic has historically sold reservations between $200,000 and $250,000 per ticket, and more recently charged the Italian Air Force about $500,000 per ticket for a training spaceflight.\nMusk’s orbital missions are more costly than the suborbital flights, with NASA paying SpaceX about $55 million per seat for spaceflights to the ISS.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":127,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":189985400,"gmtCreate":1623240153400,"gmtModify":1704199044527,"author":{"id":"3576206774226035","authorId":"3576206774226035","name":"YWC","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hi","listText":"Hi","text":"Hi","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/189985400","repostId":"2142215181","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2142215181","pubTimestamp":1623238840,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2142215181?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-09 19:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"If You're Going to Buy Cryptocurrency, This Coin Should Be Your First Buy","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2142215181","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"While newer coins may garner lots of headlines, don't ignore the original cryptocurrency, which is becoming widely adopted by institutions.","content":"<p>The cryptocurrency space has been abuzz in recent months, with prices spiking to begin the year and then dropping sharply, new coins consistently coming to market, and heightened speculation about digital currencies potentially replacing traditional banking services and card networks.</p>\n<p>While cryptocurrencies present interesting opportunities and potentially huge upside, there are also big risks.

Cryptocurrencies could become a new kind of financial platform and an alternative to fiat currencies, but unlike stocks of businesses, cryptos don't produce anything. So while a stock's intrinsic value can be thought of as the present value of all future cash flows, any sort of intrinsic value for cryptocurrency is more nebulous; it will basically be worth what the supply and demand in the market dictates that it's worth -- which could be a lot, or nothing.\nFor all those reasons, if you are willing to take the plunge into cryptocurrencies, don't bet any more than you can afford to lose. But if you're going to speculate, one coin should definitely be at the top of your buy list.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBitcoin: the OG cryptocurrency is still the safest bet\nSince cryptocurrencies are relatively new, a basket approach may be best, but I definitely think the first and largest holding in any crypto basket should be Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC).\nWhy bitcoin? For the same reason Amazon.com became a dominant internet company, while many other potential competitors fell by the wayside: Bitcoin is a first-mover.\nA first-mover has a tremendous competitive advantage in any industry in which there are powerful network effects. A network effect is when a platform becomes more valuable as more people use it. Think of the leading social networks, or Amazon's e-commerce marketplace: Sellers want to go where the buyers are; buyers want access to the site with the best selection and lower prices. By getting an early lead, Amazon has become a dominant force in e-commerce. Facebook continues to dominate social media in a similar way because of this first-mover status and terrific execution.\nIf cryptocurrencies are going to be worth anything in the future, it will take a critical mass of people and institutions believing a certain crypto platform has worth, either as a medium of exchange or as store of value.\nIn this regard, bitcoin is far, far out in front of other coins.\nCompanies, banks, and even governments are buying into Bitcoin\nBitcoin greatly increased in value in the beginning of this year, as a critical mass of companies, governments, and institutional investors began to allocate a significant amount of capital to bitcoin. Fintech firm Square (NYSE:SQ) bought some bitcoin back in October 2020 and again in February. Tesla bought bitcoin with its own corporate cash back in February to much media buzz, and it initially said it would accept bitcoin payments, only to reverse course in May because of bitcoin's energy footprint. Perhaps the biggest bitcoin enthusiast among corporations is MicroStrategy, which not only began buying bitcoin last August, but has borrowed hundreds of millions in high-yield debt to buy even more, just in recent days.\nAlso in the first quarter, large U.S. bank Morgan Stanley became the first large U.S. bank to allow access to funds that trade bitcoin.  Last month, Goldman Sachs published a paper officially naming bitcoin as an investable asset class, reversing its prior position, while also setting up a cryptocurrency trading desk. Even BNY Mellon, the nation's oldest bank, said it would begin financing bitcoin and other digital currencies some time this year.\nFinally, at a conference this past weekend, President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador said he would be introducing a bill to the country's legislature to make bitcoin a legal tender in El Salvador, which would make El Salvador the first country to take that step. Bukele also said the country was partnering with Strike, a crypto digital-wallet company, to build the company's digital currency infrastructure.\nNeedless to say, bitcoin appears to be the first digital asset that these institutions are recognizing as a viable asset or currency. While there could be more cryptocurrencies that make it to this level of adoption, it's clear bitcoin has a pretty big early lead.\nJack Dorsey is all in on bitcoin\nSpeaking of Square, its founder and CEO, Jack Dorsey, is a dedicated bitcoin evangelist, to the exclusion of other digital currencies. Just this month, Dorsey said Square was considering making a hardware bitcoin wallet, and that if he thought the bitcoin ecosystem needed him, Dorsey would leave Square and Twitter to work on bitcoin.\nThat's because Dorsey sees bitcoin as becoming \"the native currency of the internet,\" and a way for people in developing countries to protect against their home currency's potential devaluation. \"That's why we don't deal with any other 'currencies' or 'coins,' because we're so focused on making bitcoin the native currency for the internet,\" Dorsey said.\nThe wind is at bitcoin's back\nWhile many investors and commentators like to highlight some of the innovative properties of new types of coins, bitcoin's architecture is fairly innovative, too, and also has a robust developer community around it. For instance, bitcoin developers recently developed Sovryn, a decentralized finance (DeFi) application based on the bitcoin side chain RSK. DeFi had been thought by many to be the exclusive realm of bitcoin competitor Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH), but the bitcoin blockchain ecosystem appears to be flexible enough to also house DeFi applications as well.\nWith a flexible platform, a big first-mover advantage, and a critical mass of institutions and entrepreneurs like Dorsey getting exclusively behind it, bitcoin should definitely be the novice's first crypto purchase, and it should probably be the largest allocation among any crypto \"basket\" you're looking to purchase.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":231,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":103036083,"gmtCreate":1619738251142,"gmtModify":1704271489770,"author":{"id":"3576206774226035","authorId":"3576206774226035","name":"YWC","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Oh...","listText":"Oh...","text":"Oh...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/103036083","repostId":"1188611661","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1188611661","pubTimestamp":1619734487,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1188611661?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-30 06:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Amazon sales surge 44% as it smashes earnings expectations","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1188611661","media":"CNBC","summary":"Amazon released first-quarter results on Thursday that trounced analysts’ expectations.\nThe company ","content":"<ul>\n <li>Amazon released first-quarter results on Thursday that trounced analysts’ expectations.</li>\n <li>The company confirmed that this year’s Prime Day will take place in June, which will likely help year over year comparisons for revenue in the second quarter.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Amazonshares climbed more than 3.5% in extended trading Thursday after the company&nbsp;released&nbsp;its first-quarter earnings, beating Wall Street’s expectations for earnings and revenue.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/798d7f0536203d2ae33b543f4dabf204\" tg-width=\"1281\" tg-height=\"591\"></p>\n<p>Here’s how the e-commerce giant fared, relative to analyst estimates compiled by Refinitiv:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Earnings:</b>$15.79 per share vs. $9.54 per share expected</li>\n <li><b>Revenue:</b>$108.52 billion vs. $104.47 billion expected</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Few companies have benefited from the pandemic-fueled surge of online shoppingas much as Amazon.

The China-based online content company offered 55 million ADS in the IPO to raise $522.5 million, while the pricing valued the company at about $5.31 billion.</p><p>Zhihu has a similar business model as Quora where millions of people ask questions and exchange their views and experiences. Zhihu has become the largest online question and answer community in China.</p><p><b>Sales Breakdown</b></p><p>Advertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. We estimate advertising as a percentage of revenues to gradually decline in the next five years as it is offset by the faster growing Paid Memberships and Content Commerce Solutions. We estimate advertising as a percentage of sales to decline to 34.1% in 2021 and 22.3% in 2025.</p><p>Paid Memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. We have assumed Paid Membership revenues as a percentage of total revenues to increase to 31.5% in 2021 and 37.8% in 2025.</p><p>Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans. We have assumed Content Commerce Solutions as a percentage of total revenue to jump from 10% in 2020 to 17.8% in 2021 and 32.3% in 2025.</p><p><b>Gross Margins</b></p><p>The company's gross margins improved from 46.6% in 2019 to 56.0% in 2020, driven by an overall improving business scalability. We have assumed further improvements in gross margins to 57.4% in 2021 and 62.3% in 2025.</p><p><b>Total Operating Expenses and Operating Margins</b></p><p>Total operating expenses as a percentage of revenues declined significantly from 204.4% in 2019 to 100.6% in 2020. We expect this ratio to improve further to 79% in 2021, 69.2% in 2022, and 57.2% in 2025. The bulk of the improvements in operating expenses is coming from lower SG&amp;A and R&amp;D expenses as a percentage of revenues in the next five years.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c019cc86f4d4c1d9ffe15d3b4a4bfa75\" tg-width=\"772\" tg-height=\"480\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ef629be32d2c34d625cb287ad648206d\" tg-width=\"757\" tg-height=\"488\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b9561a02993fbc88c2cad88e68c08730\" tg-width=\"920\" tg-height=\"485\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><b>Company Background</b></p><p>At the end of 2020, Zhihu had more than 43.1 million cumulative content creators that contributed 315 million questions and answers. In 4Q 2020, the company had 75.7 million average monthly active users, up 33% YoY. One of the key strengths of the company is that it is recognized as one of the most trustworthy online content communities and regarded as providing one of the highest quality content in China. Zhihu has tried to capitalize on its large user base to provide numerous multimedia functions including live streaming, e-commerce, online education, and other video content.</p><p>In August 2019, Zhihu received $434 million in funding from leading investors including Baidu and Kuaishou Technology, valuing the company at $3.5 billion. Given that the company had $97 million in sales in 2019, this would suggest a P/S valuation multiple of 36x. If we take the same P/S multiple apply to the company's 2020 sales of $207 million, this would suggest an implied valuation of $7.5 billion.</p><p>Zhihu was originally developed as a question and answer online community in 2010. At the end of 2020, there were a total of 315 million Q&amp;As spanning more than 1,000 verticals and 571,000 topics. Zhihu is one of the top five comprehensive online content communities in China, in terms of average mobile MAUs and revenue in 2020. The company uses artificial intelligence, cloud, and big data algorithms to improve the optimization of its content and services.</p><p><b>Major Shareholders of Zhihu</b></p><p>The founder &amp; CEO&nbsp;Zhou Yuanowns an 8.2% stake in the company (but 46.6% voting rights). Sinovation Ventures owns a 13.1% stake and Tencent Holdings Ltd. owns a 12.3% stake of Zhihu.</p><p><b>Key Demographics</b></p><p>The diagram below provides some of the key demographics of Zhihu user base.

Many of the users of Zhihu are students and white collar professionals.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/524d689472daad1c99491d74dfdbfe24\" tg-width=\"295\" tg-height=\"389\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><b>Revenue Breakdown</b></p><p>Advertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The company's advertising revenue is mainly driven by its MAUs and advertising revenue per MAU. The company's MAUs increased by 42.7% YoY to 68.5 million in 2020. The company started its online advertising business in 2016 and introduced paid content in 2018.</p><p>Paid memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. Average monthly members jumped by 311.5% YoY to 2.36 million in 2020, which is a testament of an increasing number of customers that value the premium content available on Zhihu.</p><p>In March 2019, the company introduced the Yan Selection membership program, making it the first payment-based questions &amp; answers community. It provides its members with unlimited access to about 3.4 million paid content including online lectures, columns, audio books, and e-journals. This is one of the biggest strengths of the company as it shows how high quality data and content can generate serious amount of revenues and it also provides a more steady monthly revenue inflow.</p><p>Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans, assigning the most relevant content creators to interested users, and facilitating content creation.</p><p>China's content-commerce solution market is expected to be one of the fastest growing sectors in the next several years. According to CIC Consultancy, China's content-commerce solution market is expected to enjoy a strong CAGR growth of 46.4% from 2019 to 2025 (112.3 billion RMB).</p><p><b>Market Opportunities</b></p><p><b>China’s Online Content Communities Market Size</b></p><p>Online content communities refer to UGC (user generated content)-focused (including PUGC (professional user generated content) focused online content market players where content creators are also users, who are actively engaged within the communities. The content communities generally can stimulate higher level of user engagement, more interactive user experience, and enjoy lower content cost, compared to PGC (professionally generated content) players. PGC is content created by the branded company or organization.</p><p>China's online content communities market size increased from 38.6 billion RMB in 2015 to 275.8 billion RMB in 2019 and is further expected to rise to 1.3 trillion RMB in 2025, representing a CAGR of 30.3% from 2019 to 2025, which is higher than the overall online content market growth.</p><p>China's online content community market has more diversified monetization channels including online advertising, paid membership, content e-commerce, content-commerce solutions, virtual gifting in live streaming, online games, and online education services. In comparison, the US online content community's monetization is mainly through advertising.</p><p>One of the major positives about the company is the growing trend of more Chinese consumers that are willing to pay money for higher quality content.

From that perspective, this stock looks like a good addition to any portfolio, even at today's elevated valuation.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":23,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":346351582,"gmtCreate":1618006624446,"gmtModify":1704705811190,"author":{"id":"3576206774226035","authorId":"3576206774226035","name":"YWC","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"ok&nbsp;","listText":"ok&nbsp;","text":"ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/346351582","repostId":"2126333390","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2126333390","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":1617980520,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2126333390?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-09 23:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Biden's budget outline calls for new health agency and 16% rise in non-defense, discretionary spending","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2126333390","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"MW Biden's budget outline calls for new health agency and 16% rise in non-defense, discretionary spe","content":"<p>MW Biden's budget outline calls for new health agency and 16% rise in non-defense, discretionary spending</p><p>By Victor Reklaitis</p><p>The Biden White House on Friday took the wraps off its fiscal 2022 discretionary spending proposal, with the budget outline calling for a new health agency as well as a 16% increase in non-defense outlays.</p><p>The outline, often called a \"skinny budget,\" requests $6.5 billion to launch the \"Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health,\" or ARPA-H.

However, not all tech companies trade at expensive valuations. Some tech stocks like <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LUMN\">Lumen Technologies</a> </b>(NYSE:LUMN), <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QCOM\">Qualcomm</a> </b>(NASDAQ:QCOM), and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VZA\">Verizon</a> <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JCS\">Communications</a> </b>(NYSE:VZ) not only trade at low multiples, but also utilize cutting-edge technology to drive sales and, hopefully, investor gains.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eeec4df27528cce8c68597066e6a13ef\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GTY\">Getty</a> Images.</p>\n<h3>1. Lumen</h3>\n<p>Admittedly, Lumen became cheap for a reason over the past several years. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CUBI\">Customers</a> cutting landline phones and cable TV services sent shares plummeting, leading to single-digit stock prices and dividend cuts. However, the company has now redirected its focus, offering edge computing, cloud, infrastructure, network, and security services. It also supports wireless providers such as <b>T-Mobile</b>, serving as the backbone of 5G networks.</p>\n<p>Its stock has risen by more than 32% over the last year, and it's valued relatively fairly at just eight times earnings, well below the technology sector's average P/E ratio, which stands at 39, according to Fidelity.</p>\n<p>Struggles with revenue may explain why Lumen still trades at a low multiple. Revenue fell 4% in the first quarter, compared to 12 months ago, to just over $5 billion. In fiscal 2020, it dropped 3% from year-ago levels to $20.7 billion.</p>\n<p>Fortunately, free cash flow of $2.8 billion in 2020 and $809 million in Q1 have allowed it to cover quarterly dividend expenses of $274 million. This dividend, which pays $1 per share annually, yields about 7.7%, well above the average yield for the <b>S&amp;P 500 </b>of 1.3%.</p>\n<p>The company has also used its free cash flow to reduce and refinance its massive debt. Indeed, $31.4 billion is a heavy debt burden for a company with $11.3 billion in stockholders' equity (the value of the company after subtracting liabilities from assets). Nonetheless, long-term debt has fallen by $4 billion since Q1 2019.</p>\n<p>Although revenue gains remain elusive for now, the balance sheet continues to improve, and investors earn a generous cash return. If this trend continues, Lumen may not have a reason to stay this cheap for much longer.</p>\n<h3>2. Qualcomm</h3>\n<p>Qualcomm prospers by maintaining wireless patents that give the company an edge in smartphone chipsets. Consequently, Qualcomm receives a cut on every smartphone chipset in the world.</p>\n<p>Admittedly, companies such as Taiwan-based MediaTek have become a competitive threat. However, thanks to its 5G-capable Snapdragon 888 and upcoming Snapdragon 888 Plus processors, it holds a technical lead in a market expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 69% through 2028, according to Grand View Research.</p>\n<p>This 5G upgrade cycle helped increase revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2021 to $16.2 billion, a 57% increase from the first six months of 2020. Also, net income surged by 203% during that period to $4.2 billion. Smaller increases in the cost of revenue and operating costs along with positive investment-related income helped to boost earnings.</p>\n<p>Qualcomm projects between $7.1 billion and $7.9 billion in revenue for Q3. This will lead to an increase of between 49% and 62%, if the forecast holds. That also amounts to a considerable return when considering the stock sells for approximately 20 times earnings.</p>\n<p>Additionally, the $5.1 billion in free cash flow over the first six months easily covered $1.5 billion in dividend costs. That $2.72 per share annual payout produces a cash return of 1.9%. Considering the stock price rose by nearly 60% over the last 12 months, the 5G upgrade cycle and the low multiple make the Qualcomm value proposition difficult to match.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://media.ycharts.com/charts/294b93f672edf72d1a786cf983d18a94.png\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>LUMN data by YCharts</p>\n<h3>3. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VZ\">Verizon</a></h3>\n<p>Value investors may also take an interest in a telecom provider like Verizon, which is locked in a battle with T-Mobile and <b>AT&amp;T </b>to provide 5G services. In January, for the 26th consecutive time, Verizon earned the title of the most-awarded brand from J.D. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PW\">Power</a> for network quality. To keep up with consumers' quality expectations, Verizon made a $45 billion investment in C-Band spectrum in the first quarter of this year. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPB\">Spectrum</a> amounts to real estate for wireless frequencies, and this buys Verizon usage rights. Thus, it can utilize such \"property\" to improve the quality of its 5G service.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, 5G appears poised to make Verizon a network-as-a-service (NaaS) provider, something not possible with 4G technology. This provides network infrastructure services as a subscription-based model to enable and connect applications. This will power artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, among other things. In its Q1 2021 earnings call, Verizon cited <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HMC\">Honda</a></b>'s self-driving cars and immersive learning at Arizona <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STT\">State</a> University as examples of activities this service supports.</p>\n<p>Verizon stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 12 reflects the company's recent struggles. In 2020, revenue fell 3% compared with 2019 levels. This occurred mostly because service revenues fell only slightly while wireless equipment revenues plunged 15% during that period amid a drop in activity during the pandemic.&nbsp;This seems to have changed in the first quarter of 2021, as wireless equipment revenue surged 20% compared with year-ago levels. Still, with the 4% year-over-year increase in overall revenue during that time, investors may have little incentive to bid the earnings multiple higher.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Verizon pays investors well to wait for a recovery. Its $2.51 per share annual dividend yields a cash return of 4.5%, making it <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of Warren Buffett's highest-yielding dividend stocks.

However, not all tech companies trade at expensive valuations. Some tech stocks like Lumen Technologies (NYSE:LUMN), Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM), and Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) not only trade at low multiples, but also utilize cutting-edge technology to drive sales and, hopefully, investor gains.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\n1. Lumen\nAdmittedly, Lumen became cheap for a reason over the past several years. Customers cutting landline phones and cable TV services sent shares plummeting, leading to single-digit stock prices and dividend cuts. However, the company has now redirected its focus, offering edge computing, cloud, infrastructure, network, and security services. It also supports wireless providers such as T-Mobile, serving as the backbone of 5G networks.\nIts stock has risen by more than 32% over the last year, and it's valued relatively fairly at just eight times earnings, well below the technology sector's average P/E ratio, which stands at 39, according to Fidelity.\nStruggles with revenue may explain why Lumen still trades at a low multiple. Revenue fell 4% in the first quarter, compared to 12 months ago, to just over $5 billion. In fiscal 2020, it dropped 3% from year-ago levels to $20.7 billion.\nFortunately, free cash flow of $2.8 billion in 2020 and $809 million in Q1 have allowed it to cover quarterly dividend expenses of $274 million. This dividend, which pays $1 per share annually, yields about 7.7%, well above the average yield for the S&P 500 of 1.3%.\nThe company has also used its free cash flow to reduce and refinance its massive debt. Indeed, $31.4 billion is a heavy debt burden for a company with $11.3 billion in stockholders' equity (the value of the company after subtracting liabilities from assets). Nonetheless, long-term debt has fallen by $4 billion since Q1 2019.\nAlthough revenue gains remain elusive for now, the balance sheet continues to improve, and investors earn a generous cash return. If this trend continues, Lumen may not have a reason to stay this cheap for much longer.\n2. Qualcomm\nQualcomm prospers by maintaining wireless patents that give the company an edge in smartphone chipsets. Consequently, Qualcomm receives a cut on every smartphone chipset in the world.\nAdmittedly, companies such as Taiwan-based MediaTek have become a competitive threat. However, thanks to its 5G-capable Snapdragon 888 and upcoming Snapdragon 888 Plus processors, it holds a technical lead in a market expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 69% through 2028, according to Grand View Research.\nThis 5G upgrade cycle helped increase revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2021 to $16.2 billion, a 57% increase from the first six months of 2020. Also, net income surged by 203% during that period to $4.2 billion. Smaller increases in the cost of revenue and operating costs along with positive investment-related income helped to boost earnings.\nQualcomm projects between $7.1 billion and $7.9 billion in revenue for Q3. This will lead to an increase of between 49% and 62%, if the forecast holds. That also amounts to a considerable return when considering the stock sells for approximately 20 times earnings.\nAdditionally, the $5.1 billion in free cash flow over the first six months easily covered $1.5 billion in dividend costs. That $2.72 per share annual payout produces a cash return of 1.9%. Considering the stock price rose by nearly 60% over the last 12 months, the 5G upgrade cycle and the low multiple make the Qualcomm value proposition difficult to match.\n\nLUMN data by YCharts\n3. Verizon\nValue investors may also take an interest in a telecom provider like Verizon, which is locked in a battle with T-Mobile and AT&T to provide 5G services. In January, for the 26th consecutive time, Verizon earned the title of the most-awarded brand from J.D. Power for network quality. To keep up with consumers' quality expectations, Verizon made a $45 billion investment in C-Band spectrum in the first quarter of this year. Spectrum amounts to real estate for wireless frequencies, and this buys Verizon usage rights. Thus, it can utilize such \"property\" to improve the quality of its 5G service.\nFurthermore, 5G appears poised to make Verizon a network-as-a-service (NaaS) provider, something not possible with 4G technology. This provides network infrastructure services as a subscription-based model to enable and connect applications. This will power artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, among other things. In its Q1 2021 earnings call, Verizon cited Honda's self-driving cars and immersive learning at Arizona State University as examples of activities this service supports.\nVerizon stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 12 reflects the company's recent struggles. In 2020, revenue fell 3% compared with 2019 levels. This occurred mostly because service revenues fell only slightly while wireless equipment revenues plunged 15% during that period amid a drop in activity during the pandemic. This seems to have changed in the first quarter of 2021, as wireless equipment revenue surged 20% compared with year-ago levels. Still, with the 4% year-over-year increase in overall revenue during that time, investors may have little incentive to bid the earnings multiple higher.\nNonetheless, Verizon pays investors well to wait for a recovery. Its $2.51 per share annual dividend yields a cash return of 4.5%, making it one of Warren Buffett's highest-yielding dividend stocks. In 2020, $23.6 billion in free cash flow made the $10.2 billion in dividend expenses manageable, even with $18.2 billion in capital expenditures. The company has raised its dividend every year since 2007, increasing the likelihood that a 2021 dividend hike will come.\nSuch a payout along with a burgeoning NaaS business may give patient investors good reason to take a chance on Verizon.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":149,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":102930807,"gmtCreate":1620172402009,"gmtModify":1704339593733,"author":{"id":"3576206774226035","authorId":"3576206774226035","name":"YWC","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hi","listText":"Hi","text":"Hi","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/102930807","repostId":"1191168108","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1191168108","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1620139872,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1191168108?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-04 22:51","market":"us","language":"en","title":"IPO Preview: Honest Company, Chinese Lifestyle Brand Onion Global, Hydroponic iPower Lead Group","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1191168108","media":"Benzinga","summary":"The week of May 3 has several IPOs on the docket spread across sectors like consumer products, fashi","content":"<p>The week of May 3 has several IPOs on the docket spread across sectors like consumer products, fashion, banking, vaccines and hydroponics.

A closely-watched trial with Fortnite maker Epic Games over App Store policies kicks off next week.</p><p>“The App Store has been an economic miracle. Last year, the estimates are that there was over a half a trillion dollars of economic activity because of the store. And, so, this has been just an economic gamechanger for not only the United States, but several countries around the world. And, we’re going to go in and tell our story. And we’ll see where it goes.

Its Mac and iPad sales did better, with its computers up 70.1% and iPad sales growing nearly 79% on an annual basis.Apple said it would increase its dividend by 7% to $0.22 per share and authorized $90 billion in share buybacks, which is significantly higher than last year’s $50 billion outlay and 2019′s $75 billion.Here’s how Apple did versus Refinitiv estimates:EPS: $1.40 vs. $0.99 estimatedRevenue: $89.58 billion vs. $77.36 billion estimated, up 53.7% year-over-yeariPhone revenue: $47.94 billion vs. $41.43 billion estimated, up 65.5% year-over-yearServices revenue: $16.90 billion vs. $15.57 billion estimated, up 26.7% year over yearOther Products revenue: $7.83 billion vs. $7.79 billion estimated, up 24% year-over-yearMac revenue: $9.10 billion vs. $6.86 billion estimated, up 70.1% year-over-yeariPad revenue: $7.80 billion vs. $5.58 billion estimated, up 78.9% year-over-yearGross margin: 42.5% vs. 39.8% estimatedApple did not issue official guidance for what it expects in the quarter ending in June. It hasn’t provided revenue guidance since the start of the pandemic, citing uncertainty. This is Apple’s second quarter in a row with double-digit growth in all product categories. Apple CFO Luca Maestri told analysts that the company expects June quarter revenue to rise by double digits year-over-year, although it faces some supply shortages due to the worldwide chip shortage.Apple has said in the past months that its business has been boosted by the pandemic as consumers and businesses bought computers to work and entertain themselves while at home. But Apple’s strong results in the quarter suggest that the trend may persist as more economies open up.Or, as Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement: “This quarter reflects both the enduring ways our products have helped our users meet this moment in their own lives, as well as the optimism consumers seem to feel about better days ahead for all of us.”Mac sales were up 70%, and Cook said that the result was “fueled by” the company’s introduction of its Mac laptops that used its own M1 chips for longer battery life, instead of processors sold by Intel. iPad sales were up nearly 79% year-over-year.Neither of those results include iPad Pro or iMac models the company announced in March, which are expected to drive additional demand.“We’re seeing strong first-time buyers on the Mac … it continues to run just south of 50%,” Cook told CNBC’s Josh Lipton. “And, in China, it’s even higher than that … it’s more around two-thirds. And that speaks to people preferring to work on the Mac.”Apple’s iPhone also reported strong results this quarter, quelling fears that the current annual cycle could slow down. Last year, Apple released iPhones with a new exterior design and 5G support, which many investors believed could prompt a major upgrade cycle, which this quarter’s results indicate.In greater China, which includes the mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, Apple’s revenue increased over 87% year-over-year to $17.73 billion, although the comparison is to a quarter last year in which China was largely shut down in the early days of the pandemic. Every other geographical category, including the Americas and Europe, were also up on an annual basis.Apple’s high-margin services business, including iCloud, App Store, and subscriptions like Apple Music, also showed 26.7% growth.One metric that Apple uses to show the growth in services is the number of subscriptions it has, which not only include its own subscriptions like Apple One, but also subscriptions through its App Store.“We now have over 660 million paid subscriptions across the services on the platform, and that’s up 40 million from the previous quarter, which is an acceleration from 35 million,” Cook told CNBC.However, Apple’s App Store has been challenged by lawmakers and companies that say it costs too much and has too much power. A closely-watched trial with Fortnite maker Epic Games over App Store policies kicks off next week.“The App Store has been an economic miracle. Last year, the estimates are that there was over a half a trillion dollars of economic activity because of the store. And, so, this has been just an economic gamechanger for not only the United States, but several countries around the world. And, we’re going to go in and tell our story. And we’ll see where it goes. But, we’re confident,” Cook told CNBC.Apple’s gross margin was also unusually elevated for the company. Most quarters, it tends to be in the 38% to 39% range, but in the quarter ending in March, Apple reported 42.5% margins.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":25,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":340503113,"gmtCreate":1617424960632,"gmtModify":1704699610947,"author":{"id":"3576206774226035","authorId":"3576206774226035","name":"YWC","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/340503113","repostId":"1188844990","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1188844990","pubTimestamp":1617360595,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1188844990?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-02 18:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. Jobs Report, China Investment, Vietnam FX Watch: Eco Day","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1188844990","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- Welcome to Friday, Americas.

Plenty of people like to think they're committed to their holdings for the long haul. When things get dicey, though, a sizable swath of this crowd bails out of these investments.</p>\n<p>That can be a big mistake, of course. Most people struggle to see the market's true short-term highs and lows, meaning they get out (or in) at less than ideal times. Often, the best decision you can make is deciding to do nothing at all, taking your lumps on faith those beaten-down stocks will eventually recover.</p>\n<p>With that as the backdrop, here's a closer look at three long-term investments you can actually commit to for the long term. Each <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> is built not only to last, but to thrive no matter what the future has in store.</p>\n<h2>1. Alphabet</h2>\n<p>Sure, it's technically a consumer tech name, and technology is generally prone to being made obsolete by, well, newer technologies. If there were ever a tech name shielded from the never-ending cycle of improved tech, though, it's likely Google parent<b> Alphabet</b> (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL).</p>\n<p>Think about it. While there was a time when consumers clearly functioned without either one, the internet and smartphones have become de facto centerpieces of our lives. Chances are, we're not going to give them up now. And Alphabet is the powerhouse on both fronts, with Google fielding 92% of the world's web searches (according to numbers from GlobalStats' statcounter) and its Android mobile operating system installed on nearly 73% of the world's mobile devices. In fact, when broadening this look to all consumer tech devices like notebooks and tablets, there are more Android-powered devices than there are machines running <b>Microsoft</b> Windows.</p>\n<p>This reach of course positions Google as a gatekeeper to the world wide web, giving Alphabet a variety of ways to monetize all of its platforms.</p>\n<p>And it's done so quite well. The company's year-over-year revenue comparison has fallen in only two quarters since 2006, and one of those quarters was the second quarter of last year when the COVID-19 pandemic was rapidly spreading. In fact, we've also only seen the company's quarterly top line fall twice on a sequential basis -- from the previous calendar quarter -- for the same time frame, and again, one of those two instances was linked to COVID-19. It's all due to consumers' habitual reliance on Google and/or their Android devices.</p>\n<h2>2. Walt Disney</h2>\n<p>Entertainment giant <b>Walt Disney</b> (NYSE:DIS) is nowhere near as consistent as Alphabet when it comes to driving revenue; the pandemic was downright devastating to the company. Nevertheless, Disney is a long-term winner -- not because it does one thing incredibly well, but because it can do a variety of things incredibly well when one piece of its business is struggling.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F643205%2Folder-investors.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>You likely know all about Disney's theme parks and movies. You've also heard plenty of late about their streaming platform, Disney+. What you may not realize, however, is how minor those ventures are compared to the company's other lower-profile operations.</p>\n<p>Before COVID-19 rattled the world beginning in early 2020, television -- Disney, ESPN, and ABC -- collectively accounted for roughly one-third of Walt Disney's revenue, parks and resorts along with licensed product sales made up another third of its top line, films were 16% of its business mix, and its direct-to-consumer and international arm (think Hulu and ESPN+) contributed 13% of its top line. With the pandemic still crimping some segments of the entertainment industry and after the launch of Disney+, direct-to-consumer alone now makes up nearly one-third of the company's top line, while other divisions now contribute relatively less revenue.</p>\n<p>But that's the point. Walt Disney's always got something to sell to someone; oftentimes it's got several products and services to offer to the same consumers. It may not be completely recession-proof, but it's certainly recession-resistant, and it's also able to capture more than its fair share of growth stemming from a strong economy.</p>\n<h2>3. SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</h2>\n<p>Finally, add the <b>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</b> (NYSEMKT:SPY) to your list of long-term investments you'll be glad you tucked away.</p>\n<p>Unlike Walt Disney and Alphabet, owning an index-based fund isn't an attempt to outperform the market. It's just an attempt to match the market's overall performance; in some ways it's also an admission that, given enough time, you probably can't beat the market.</p>\n<p>Statistically speaking though, that's not a bad bet.</p>\n<p>Data from Standard &amp; Poor's tells the story, pointing out that measuring results from the end of the year 2000 and the end of 2020, around 94% of actively managed mutual funds available to U.S. investors didn't perform as well as the <b>S&amp;P 500 Index</b> (SNPINDEX:^GSPC). The results are similarly bad when you look at shorter time frames.</p>\n<p>Why can't many of these professional fund managers do what they're presumably trained and paid to do even when they're giving it a full-time effort? Because timing trade entries and exits is hard to do well. That doesn't prevent these folks from attempting it in their hunt for market-beating results, however.</p>\n<p>It's possible you could have better luck. In fact, the whole purpose of highlighting Alphabet and Walt Disney is that these two names have the potential to outpace the broad market's gains.</p>\n<p>Both of those individual stock picks still require long-term holding periods to make the most of their potential, though. So the best thing to do is likely to just leave them alone as long as you can, and round them out with an index-based ETF you can also truly commit to for the long haul.</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>3 Long-Term Investments You'll Thank Yourself for Later</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\">\n3 Long-Term Investments You'll Thank Yourself for Later\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-16 19:50 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/16/3-long-term-investments-youll-thank-yourself-for-l/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Got patience?

And Alphabet is the powerhouse on both fronts, with Google fielding 92% of the world's web searches (according to numbers from GlobalStats' statcounter) and its Android mobile operating system installed on nearly 73% of the world's mobile devices. In fact, when broadening this look to all consumer tech devices like notebooks and tablets, there are more Android-powered devices than there are machines running Microsoft Windows.\nThis reach of course positions Google as a gatekeeper to the world wide web, giving Alphabet a variety of ways to monetize all of its platforms.\nAnd it's done so quite well. The company's year-over-year revenue comparison has fallen in only two quarters since 2006, and one of those quarters was the second quarter of last year when the COVID-19 pandemic was rapidly spreading. In fact, we've also only seen the company's quarterly top line fall twice on a sequential basis -- from the previous calendar quarter -- for the same time frame, and again, one of those two instances was linked to COVID-19. It's all due to consumers' habitual reliance on Google and/or their Android devices.\n2. Walt Disney\nEntertainment giant Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) is nowhere near as consistent as Alphabet when it comes to driving revenue; the pandemic was downright devastating to the company. Nevertheless, Disney is a long-term winner -- not because it does one thing incredibly well, but because it can do a variety of things incredibly well when one piece of its business is struggling.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nYou likely know all about Disney's theme parks and movies. You've also heard plenty of late about their streaming platform, Disney+. What you may not realize, however, is how minor those ventures are compared to the company's other lower-profile operations.\nBefore COVID-19 rattled the world beginning in early 2020, television -- Disney, ESPN, and ABC -- collectively accounted for roughly one-third of Walt Disney's revenue, parks and resorts along with licensed product sales made up another third of its top line, films were 16% of its business mix, and its direct-to-consumer and international arm (think Hulu and ESPN+) contributed 13% of its top line. With the pandemic still crimping some segments of the entertainment industry and after the launch of Disney+, direct-to-consumer alone now makes up nearly one-third of the company's top line, while other divisions now contribute relatively less revenue.\nBut that's the point. Walt Disney's always got something to sell to someone; oftentimes it's got several products and services to offer to the same consumers. It may not be completely recession-proof, but it's certainly recession-resistant, and it's also able to capture more than its fair share of growth stemming from a strong economy.\n3. SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust\nFinally, add the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEMKT:SPY) to your list of long-term investments you'll be glad you tucked away.\nUnlike Walt Disney and Alphabet, owning an index-based fund isn't an attempt to outperform the market. It's just an attempt to match the market's overall performance; in some ways it's also an admission that, given enough time, you probably can't beat the market.\nStatistically speaking though, that's not a bad bet.\nData from Standard & Poor's tells the story, pointing out that measuring results from the end of the year 2000 and the end of 2020, around 94% of actively managed mutual funds available to U.S. investors didn't perform as well as the S&P 500 Index (SNPINDEX:^GSPC). The results are similarly bad when you look at shorter time frames.\nWhy can't many of these professional fund managers do what they're presumably trained and paid to do even when they're giving it a full-time effort? Because timing trade entries and exits is hard to do well. That doesn't prevent these folks from attempting it in their hunt for market-beating results, however.\nIt's possible you could have better luck. In fact, the whole purpose of highlighting Alphabet and Walt Disney is that these two names have the potential to outpace the broad market's gains.\nBoth of those individual stock picks still require long-term holding periods to make the most of their potential, though. So the best thing to do is likely to just leave them alone as long as you can, and round them out with an index-based ETF you can also truly commit to for the long haul.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":564,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":176374696,"gmtCreate":1626867964515,"gmtModify":1703479549881,"author":{"id":"3576206774226035","authorId":"3576206774226035","name":"YWC","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hi","listText":"Hi","text":"Hi","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/176374696","repostId":"2153271610","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2153271610","pubTimestamp":1626867540,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2153271610?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-21 19:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Looking for Tech Stocks?

However, not all tech companies trade at expensive valuations. Some tech stocks like <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LUMN\">Lumen Technologies</a> </b>(NYSE:LUMN), <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QCOM\">Qualcomm</a> </b>(NASDAQ:QCOM), and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VZA\">Verizon</a> <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JCS\">Communications</a> </b>(NYSE:VZ) not only trade at low multiples, but also utilize cutting-edge technology to drive sales and, hopefully, investor gains.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eeec4df27528cce8c68597066e6a13ef\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GTY\">Getty</a> Images.</p>\n<h3>1. Lumen</h3>\n<p>Admittedly, Lumen became cheap for a reason over the past several years. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CUBI\">Customers</a> cutting landline phones and cable TV services sent shares plummeting, leading to single-digit stock prices and dividend cuts. However, the company has now redirected its focus, offering edge computing, cloud, infrastructure, network, and security services. It also supports wireless providers such as <b>T-Mobile</b>, serving as the backbone of 5G networks.</p>\n<p>Its stock has risen by more than 32% over the last year, and it's valued relatively fairly at just eight times earnings, well below the technology sector's average P/E ratio, which stands at 39, according to Fidelity.</p>\n<p>Struggles with revenue may explain why Lumen still trades at a low multiple. Revenue fell 4% in the first quarter, compared to 12 months ago, to just over $5 billion. In fiscal 2020, it dropped 3% from year-ago levels to $20.7 billion.</p>\n<p>Fortunately, free cash flow of $2.8 billion in 2020 and $809 million in Q1 have allowed it to cover quarterly dividend expenses of $274 million. This dividend, which pays $1 per share annually, yields about 7.7%, well above the average yield for the <b>S&amp;P 500 </b>of 1.3%.</p>\n<p>The company has also used its free cash flow to reduce and refinance its massive debt. Indeed, $31.4 billion is a heavy debt burden for a company with $11.3 billion in stockholders' equity (the value of the company after subtracting liabilities from assets). Nonetheless, long-term debt has fallen by $4 billion since Q1 2019.</p>\n<p>Although revenue gains remain elusive for now, the balance sheet continues to improve, and investors earn a generous cash return. If this trend continues, Lumen may not have a reason to stay this cheap for much longer.</p>\n<h3>2. Qualcomm</h3>\n<p>Qualcomm prospers by maintaining wireless patents that give the company an edge in smartphone chipsets. Consequently, Qualcomm receives a cut on every smartphone chipset in the world.</p>\n<p>Admittedly, companies such as Taiwan-based MediaTek have become a competitive threat. However, thanks to its 5G-capable Snapdragon 888 and upcoming Snapdragon 888 Plus processors, it holds a technical lead in a market expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 69% through 2028, according to Grand View Research.</p>\n<p>This 5G upgrade cycle helped increase revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2021 to $16.2 billion, a 57% increase from the first six months of 2020. Also, net income surged by 203% during that period to $4.2 billion. Smaller increases in the cost of revenue and operating costs along with positive investment-related income helped to boost earnings.</p>\n<p>Qualcomm projects between $7.1 billion and $7.9 billion in revenue for Q3. This will lead to an increase of between 49% and 62%, if the forecast holds. That also amounts to a considerable return when considering the stock sells for approximately 20 times earnings.</p>\n<p>Additionally, the $5.1 billion in free cash flow over the first six months easily covered $1.5 billion in dividend costs. That $2.72 per share annual payout produces a cash return of 1.9%. Considering the stock price rose by nearly 60% over the last 12 months, the 5G upgrade cycle and the low multiple make the Qualcomm value proposition difficult to match.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://media.ycharts.com/charts/294b93f672edf72d1a786cf983d18a94.png\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>LUMN data by YCharts</p>\n<h3>3. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VZ\">Verizon</a></h3>\n<p>Value investors may also take an interest in a telecom provider like Verizon, which is locked in a battle with T-Mobile and <b>AT&amp;T </b>to provide 5G services. In January, for the 26th consecutive time, Verizon earned the title of the most-awarded brand from J.D. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PW\">Power</a> for network quality. To keep up with consumers' quality expectations, Verizon made a $45 billion investment in C-Band spectrum in the first quarter of this year. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPB\">Spectrum</a> amounts to real estate for wireless frequencies, and this buys Verizon usage rights. Thus, it can utilize such \"property\" to improve the quality of its 5G service.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, 5G appears poised to make Verizon a network-as-a-service (NaaS) provider, something not possible with 4G technology. This provides network infrastructure services as a subscription-based model to enable and connect applications. This will power artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, among other things. In its Q1 2021 earnings call, Verizon cited <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HMC\">Honda</a></b>'s self-driving cars and immersive learning at Arizona <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STT\">State</a> University as examples of activities this service supports.</p>\n<p>Verizon stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 12 reflects the company's recent struggles. In 2020, revenue fell 3% compared with 2019 levels. This occurred mostly because service revenues fell only slightly while wireless equipment revenues plunged 15% during that period amid a drop in activity during the pandemic.&nbsp;This seems to have changed in the first quarter of 2021, as wireless equipment revenue surged 20% compared with year-ago levels. Still, with the 4% year-over-year increase in overall revenue during that time, investors may have little incentive to bid the earnings multiple higher.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Verizon pays investors well to wait for a recovery. Its $2.51 per share annual dividend yields a cash return of 4.5%, making it <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of Warren Buffett's highest-yielding dividend stocks. In 2020, $23.6 billion in free cash flow made the $10.2 billion in dividend expenses manageable, even with $18.2 billion in capital expenditures. The company has raised its dividend every year since 2007, increasing the likelihood that a 2021 dividend hike will come.</p>\n<p>Such a payout along with a burgeoning NaaS business may give patient investors good reason to take a chance on Verizon.</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>Looking for Tech Stocks?

Many companies faced adversity throughout the pandemic, and some are still recovering, but not BABA. Through the worst economic environment for businesses to navigate in recent times, BABA generated over $100 billion in revenue and $20 billion in net income during their recent fiscal year. While BABA didn't get the memo about businesses facing challenges amidst the pandemic, the market must not have read BABA's earnings report or crunched the numbers.</p>\n<p>There are two Chinese companies I am bullish on, and BABA is my biggest conviction for appreciation. BABA smashed through the $300 share price level at the end of October 2020, but shareholders have been left confused and disappointed since then. It looked like BABA would turn the corner after a horrible end to 2020 as shares appreciated from $222.36 from the close of 2020 to $270.83 in the middle of February 2021. Still, the markets had other plans, and all shares of BABA have done is disappoint shareholders. If you missed the BABA train, it's time to grab your tickets and climb aboard, and if you purchased BABA during its run to $300 or early 2021 rebound, it might be time to add to your holdings. BABA is going to experience tremendous tailwinds from China's population and economic growth over the next several years, and their printing press is going to need more ink.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86da7b532f25f563d08490ddc43cbede\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"337\"><span>(Source: Alibaba)</span></p>\n<p><b>The Alibaba printing press is open for business, and it spits out billions</b></p>\n<p>How many companies can say their annual revenue through the pandemic exceeded $100 billion? The $100 billion revenue mark is a prestigious club that companies such as&nbsp;Facebook (FB),PepsiCo (PEP),Procter &amp; Gamble (PG),Target (TGT), and&nbsp;Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ)&nbsp;are not part of. BABA, on the other hand, witnessed its revenue increase by 52.11% and smash through $100 billion as they generated $109.47 billion in their recent fiscal year. For the year ending March 2019, BABA's revenue increased by $16.25 billion (40.74%) to $56.15 billion, then for the March 2020 fiscal year, revenue increased another $15.82 billion (28.17%) to $71.97 billion. BABA is in the same boat as Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG)(GOOGL), FB, and Amazon (AMZN) as they watched the pandemic push more people to go digital which accelerated their businesses. For BABA, the forced transition to digital helped them achieve $37.5 billion (52.11%) in additional revenue as they finished their March 2021 fiscal year with $109.47 billion in revenue.</p>\n<p>Since 2013 BABA has not had a year where their annual revenue increase didn't exceed 25% Year over Year (YoY). When you think about that as a growth rate, it's remarkable for a company of BABA's size as this isn't a company chasing its first billion-dollar revenue year. Over the past 5 fiscal years, BABA's annual revenue has increased by $93.8 billion (408.08%) at an average annual rate of 48.25%. Smaller companies considered growth companies would be jealous of these rates, while many large caps are probably envious.</p>\n<p>BABA isn't a one-trick pony that can only generate tens of billions in revenue. BABA can convert right down to the bottom line. Each year BABA has increased its YoY gross profit by a minimum of 10% since 2013. In 2016 BABA generated $10.35 billion in gross profit and, over the next 5 fiscal years, increased its annual gross profit by $34.84 billion (336.68%). BABA has also never fallen below a 40% gross profit margin, Warren Buffett's magic number, as he indicates in<i>Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements. On page 34 of the Kindle edition,it says:</i></p>\n<blockquote>\n As a very general rule (and there are exceptions): Companies with gross profit margins of 40% or better tend to be companies with some sort of durable competitive advantage. Companies with gross profit margins below 40% tend to be companies in highly competitive industries, where competition is hurting overall profit margins (there are exceptions here, too).\n</blockquote>\n<p>The gross profit margin is important for investors to evaluate because it reveals how much of a company's revenue goes directly to producing it and if they have a moat around their business. BABA's numbers indicate they have a sufficient moat around their business that is hard to penetrate. With close to a decade of generating over 40% in gross profit margins, investors can expect that BABA's moat will protect its business operations for years to come.</p>\n<p>Moving to the bottom line BABA does a great job at generating profits. In their most recent fiscal year, BABA generated $22.98 billion in net income, converting more than 1/5th (20.99%) of their revenue to pure profits. Since 2013 BABA has only had 1 year where net income decreases YoY. With that track record, many options open up for BABA in the future as their cash stockpile continues to increase.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/41a5e036f023fa4ced7666e06aa1de6b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"444\"><span>(Source: Alibaba)</span></p>\n<p><b>Alibaba will continue to experience tailwinds as China's population and economy expands</b></p>\n<p>Alibaba&nbsp;achieved one billion annual active consumers globally in the fiscal year that ended in March 2021. BABA has 891 million consumers across China's retail marketplace, local consumer services and digital media and entertainment platforms, and approximately 240 million consumers outside China. BABA's annual active consumers in the China retail marketplaces were 811 million as it grew by 85 million YoY. BABA will focus on developing a digital commerce infrastructure that offers an upgraded consumer experience by seamlessly integrating online and offline. Through BABA's infrastructure, countless retailers have digitally transformed their businesses and created multiple retail formats that have enabled new consumption experiences by leveraging consumer insights and technology. BABA's ecosystem, supply chain, and diversified fulfillment services have facilitated an immense digital transformation. By investing in its infrastructure, BABA's customers can now leverage a full range of high-frequency fulfillment services that include on-demand delivery, same-or-next day delivery, and next-day pick-up services for a full range of consumable and physical products.</p>\n<p>BABA will continue to be one of the cornerstones that supports growth within China's economy, which is benefiting from the acceleration of digitalization in all aspects of life and work. China is projected to be the world's largest economy by 2028. The per-capita income in China is expected to grow by roughly 50% from 2020 to 2025.China's average economic growth&nbsp;has been projected to increase at a rate of 5.7% from 2021 to 2025, then slow to 4.5% from 2026 to 2030. As a result,China&nbsp;is on track to join the top 1/3rd of nations and overtake 56 countries in the per capita income rankings by 2025. By the end of 2022, McKinsey&nbsp;predicts&nbsp;that the middle class could expand to 550 million people which is larger than the entire U.S population.</p>\n<p>If the projections for China are correct, this should mean a windfall of cash lining BABA's coffers. It's a simple recipe; when people make more money, they tend to spend more money to enhance their lives and increase their standard of living. As BABA is a dominant force in China's retail sector, they stand to benefit from a growing economy and a larger middle class. At the end of next year, if China has anywhere close to 550 million individuals in the middle class, I believe BABA's revenue and profits will increase significantly. This trend can provide tailwinds throughout the decade for BABA, and eventually, the market will reward shareholders based on BABA's value proposition.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bbde4a092d19118a2d16daabf5c027d7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"463\"><span>(Source: Blomberg)</span></p>\n<p><b>Alibaba has tremendous growth prospects in Cloud as China continues its digitization</b></p>\n<p>Cloud computing has been red hot in the U.S. as the transition from on-prem to cloud has increased the technological capabilities for many organizations. As digitization progresses across the business landscape, cloud providers continue to increase revenue generated from their cloud segments within their overall revenue mix. For example, AWS, the cloud computing division from&nbsp;AMZN, generated $45.37 billion in 2020. Cloud continues to be an exciting sector because the digital transformation is far from being over. Hence, the prospects of new customers are enormous while reoccurring revenue is generated after the transition occurs.</p>\n<p>In China, cloud infrastructure services are still in the early innings as the entire spend was around $15 billion in 2020. In Q1 of 2021, cloud infrastructure services in&nbsp;China&nbsp;grew by 55% YoY as it reached $6 billion. China was the 2nd largest market behind the U.S, accounting for 14% of global investment, up from 12% in Q1 of 2020. With cloud spending and digitization in China increasing, this serves as a major runway for growth in Alibaba Cloud.</p>\n<p>As China's economy expands, businesses will need to become more efficient to support both operations and customer demands. Chinese companies will need to implement infrastructure that can support a digital age of the workforce while supporting cloud services used by consumers for consumption. If China passes the U.S. as the world's largest economy in the second half of this decade, the amount of growth needed in cloud services will be immense. BABA is already the leader in cloud infrastructure services in China as their 39.8% market share accounted for $2.39 billion of the $6 billion spent in Q1 2021. Over the previous 6 quarters, cloud infrastructure spending has increased by roughly $2.3 billion (76.67%) in China. Based on cloud's current trajectory, quarterly revenue is on track to double over the next 2 years, putting Q1 2023 revenue at $10.6 billion. If BABA has a 35% market share, their Q1 2023 would be $3.71 billion, placing their 2023 revenue for cloud at $14.84 billion without factoring in any growth in 2023. From a cloud aspect, China's future spending is very exciting, and BABA will be one of the major benefactors.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1759b81ce463d503a165d901e2e50d7c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"728\"><span>(Source: Canalys)</span></p>\n<p><b>Alibaba has stellar financial metrics and is undervalued compared to the U.S. tech conglomerates</b></p>\n<p>For this comparison, I am going to use AMZN and GOOGL as they have been establishing their dominance in the U.S. for more than a decade. First, here are the raw numbers for AMZN, BABA, and GOOGL:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>AMZN</li>\n <li>BABA</li>\n <li>GOOGL</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The market currently places a multiple of 17.03x on AMZN's equity compared to its market cap, while its revenue multiple is 4.2x. GOOGL has a multiple of 7.17x on its equity and 8.39x on its revenue compared to market cap. AMZN and GOOGL's market caps exceed $1.5 trillion, while BABA's sits at $575.57 billion. The market is placing a 3.5x multiple on BABA's equity and 5.26x on its revenue compared to the market cap. Thus, the market is severely discounting BABA's equity and revenue generation. BABA's equity is worth 28.58% of its market cap, while AMZN's equity is equivalent to 5.87%, and GOOGL's is 13.94% of its market cap. The current discount placed on BABA's equity could create an additional tailwind for shareholders in the future.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>It's hard to dismiss the growth opportunities some companies in China are presenting, especially after the recent decline in share prices. However, I believe shares of BABA are currently undervalued based on their current financial metrics and growth rates. China's economy and the amount of capital allocated to cloud service infrastructure are expected to grow substantially over the years. These will create powerful tailwinds for BABA throughout this decade. As a result, I think shareholders have been allowed to establish a BABA or dollar cost average position at a discounted price. I plan on continuing to add shares to my position while the market is discounting BABA.</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>Alibaba: Can BABA Get Back To $300?

Many companies faced adversity throughout the pandemic, and some are still recovering, but not BABA. Through the worst economic environment for businesses to navigate in recent times, BABA generated over $100 billion in revenue and $20 billion in net income during their recent fiscal year. While BABA didn't get the memo about businesses facing challenges amidst the pandemic, the market must not have read BABA's earnings report or crunched the numbers.\nThere are two Chinese companies I am bullish on, and BABA is my biggest conviction for appreciation. BABA smashed through the $300 share price level at the end of October 2020, but shareholders have been left confused and disappointed since then. It looked like BABA would turn the corner after a horrible end to 2020 as shares appreciated from $222.36 from the close of 2020 to $270.83 in the middle of February 2021. Still, the markets had other plans, and all shares of BABA have done is disappoint shareholders. If you missed the BABA train, it's time to grab your tickets and climb aboard, and if you purchased BABA during its run to $300 or early 2021 rebound, it might be time to add to your holdings. BABA is going to experience tremendous tailwinds from China's population and economic growth over the next several years, and their printing press is going to need more ink.\n(Source: Alibaba)\nThe Alibaba printing press is open for business, and it spits out billions\nHow many companies can say their annual revenue through the pandemic exceeded $100 billion? The $100 billion revenue mark is a prestigious club that companies such as Facebook (FB),PepsiCo (PEP),Procter & Gamble (PG),Target (TGT), and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) are not part of. BABA, on the other hand, witnessed its revenue increase by 52.11% and smash through $100 billion as they generated $109.47 billion in their recent fiscal year. For the year ending March 2019, BABA's revenue increased by $16.25 billion (40.74%) to $56.15 billion, then for the March 2020 fiscal year, revenue increased another $15.82 billion (28.17%) to $71.97 billion. BABA is in the same boat as Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG)(GOOGL), FB, and Amazon (AMZN) as they watched the pandemic push more people to go digital which accelerated their businesses. For BABA, the forced transition to digital helped them achieve $37.5 billion (52.11%) in additional revenue as they finished their March 2021 fiscal year with $109.47 billion in revenue.\nSince 2013 BABA has not had a year where their annual revenue increase didn't exceed 25% Year over Year (YoY). When you think about that as a growth rate, it's remarkable for a company of BABA's size as this isn't a company chasing its first billion-dollar revenue year. Over the past 5 fiscal years, BABA's annual revenue has increased by $93.8 billion (408.08%) at an average annual rate of 48.25%. Smaller companies considered growth companies would be jealous of these rates, while many large caps are probably envious.\nBABA isn't a one-trick pony that can only generate tens of billions in revenue. BABA can convert right down to the bottom line. Each year BABA has increased its YoY gross profit by a minimum of 10% since 2013. In 2016 BABA generated $10.35 billion in gross profit and, over the next 5 fiscal years, increased its annual gross profit by $34.84 billion (336.68%). BABA has also never fallen below a 40% gross profit margin, Warren Buffett's magic number, as he indicates inWarren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements.

BABA's numbers indicate they have a sufficient moat around their business that is hard to penetrate. With close to a decade of generating over 40% in gross profit margins, investors can expect that BABA's moat will protect its business operations for years to come.\nMoving to the bottom line BABA does a great job at generating profits. In their most recent fiscal year, BABA generated $22.98 billion in net income, converting more than 1/5th (20.99%) of their revenue to pure profits. Since 2013 BABA has only had 1 year where net income decreases YoY. With that track record, many options open up for BABA in the future as their cash stockpile continues to increase.\n(Source: Alibaba)\nAlibaba will continue to experience tailwinds as China's population and economy expands\nAlibaba achieved one billion annual active consumers globally in the fiscal year that ended in March 2021. BABA has 891 million consumers across China's retail marketplace, local consumer services and digital media and entertainment platforms, and approximately 240 million consumers outside China. BABA's annual active consumers in the China retail marketplaces were 811 million as it grew by 85 million YoY. BABA will focus on developing a digital commerce infrastructure that offers an upgraded consumer experience by seamlessly integrating online and offline. Through BABA's infrastructure, countless retailers have digitally transformed their businesses and created multiple retail formats that have enabled new consumption experiences by leveraging consumer insights and technology.
