Driven by the rush into artificial intelligence (AI), Nvidia has seen mind-boggling results in the last two quarters.

Fourth-quarter 2024 revenue is projected to be $20 billion. That would represent a 231% increase over Q4 2023. The majority of this growth has been in Nvidia&#39;s data center business and it&#39;s because of the interest in chips that can help with artificial intelligence.</p><p>Even if the AI revolution is upon us, it&#39;s unlikely Nvidia will see this level of growth over the long term. As one might expect, the valuation of Nvidia shares is a reflection of the recent results. Nvidia currently trades for 115 times trailing earnings. Compare that to the S&amp;P 500&#39;s price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 25 and it&#39;s clear that investors may be better off waiting for the stock to pull back before buying shares.</p><h2 id=\"id_1986814512\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a></h2><p><strong>Apple</strong> is a great company and still is likely to show periods of growth ahead, but the current valuation suggests it may be best to wait before buying shares. Apple is trading for a P/E multiple of 31, which is well above the market average. What makes that more concerning from the standpoint of potential returns is that the results over the last few quarters are showing signs of slowing momentum.</p><p>In the most recently reported fiscal quarter, revenue growth declined by 1% year over year.

However, the current valuation doesn&#39;t match the results. There&#39;s a chance that Apple&#39;s growth reaccelerates from here, rewarding shareholders who buy today. However, the more likely scenario is that results from today&#39;s valuation could be disappointing. Waiting for a market sell-off seems prudent.</p><h2 id=\"id_4004260442\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ASML\">ASML</a></h2><p>To put it simply, there&#39;s no way to build the most high-tech semiconductor chips without <strong>ASML</strong>. This Dutch company makes the machines necessary for Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUV), which is an essential part of the production of chips, and it&#39;s the only company in the world that does so.</p><p>Without looking at results, one might guess ASML is struggling considering the semiconductor industry is in a cyclical down cycle. Luckily, ASML has a strong backlog to rely on. As of the end of the third quarter of 2023, ASML had a backlog of 38 billion Euros. There is more demand for ASML&#39;s machines than it can accommodate, which is helping bridge the gap while the market is working through the bottom of its cycle.</p><p>ASML currently trades for 35 times earnings and 46 times free cash flow.

McElligott illustrated this tendency in the chart below.</p><p>Why are dealers short gamma, and what does this mean? As stocks have stumbled, option traders have been buying put options and selling call options. As a result, dealers could be forced to hedge their positions by buying futures if stocks rise and their customers close out their short-call positions, or selling futures to hedge the risk of puts moving into the money.</p><p>This would serve to exaggerate the market&#39;s move in either direction, driving a rising market higher and a falling market lower, McElligott said.</p><p>Dealers could hit &#34;peak short gamma&#34; if the S&amp;P 500 falls to 4,320, sending a wave of puts into the money. If that happens, it&#39;s possible dealers could slam stocks lower as they rush to avoid being on the hook for puts sold to customers. The S&amp;P 500 SPX finished Thursday at 4,370.36.</p><p>Gamma is used by options analysts to describe how quickly an option&#39;s delta changes. Delta represents how sensitive the price of an option is to moves in the underlying asset. When options are about to expire, delta typically increases dramatically, since small moves that put it closer to being in or out of the money can have a dramatic impact on the option&#39;s price.</p><p>Brent Kochuba, founder of SpotGamma, also cited risks tied to dealers&#39; short-gamma position in research shared with clients. SpotGamma shares data and analytics about the option market.</p><p>&#34;We have been watching market gamma fall into negative gamma territory all month. Once it entered that range, price action became visibly choppier, as expected during these conditions,&#34; he said in written commentary shared with MarketWatch and SpotGamma clients.</p><p>Option contracts give traders the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the underlying asset or currency. Often, options tied to stock-market indexes like the S&amp;P 500 are settled in futures or cash. Options tied to exchange-traded funds like the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust SPY, which tracks the S&amp;P 500 index, are settled in shares of the ETF.</p><p>A put option allows the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to sell shares at an agreed-upon price known as the &#34;strike price.&#34; A call option, conversely, gives the holder the right to buy shares. Put options tend to appreciate when the underlying stock or index falls, while the opposite is true for calls.</p><p>U.S. stocks finished lower on Thursday, with the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq Composite poised to record a third straight weekly decline, what would be the longest such streak for the S&amp;P 500 since February.</p><p>In addition to monthly options expiring Friday, weekly options known as &#34;zero days until expiration&#34; or &#34;0DTE&#34; options could further complicate the market&#39;s reaction. A veteran Goldman Sachs Group strategist warned earlier this week that 0DTE traders have been limiting upswings in stocks while piling on the pressure when markets sink.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Traders Brace for Explosion of Volatility Friday As $2.2 Trillion in Stock Options Expire</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\">\nTraders Brace for Explosion of Volatility Friday As $2.2 Trillion in Stock Options Expire\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2023-08-18 10:51</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p>It&#39;s that time again: monthly stock-market options for August are set to expire on Friday, potentially spurring more volatility in stocks after a bruising three-week run.</p><p>U.S. stock option contracts with a notional value of $2.2 trillion are set to expire, according to Rocky Fishman, founder of newly formed strategy firm Asym 500 and a former head of index derivatives strategy at Goldman Sachs Group.

Notional value measures the market value of the stocks, indexes and exchange-traded funds controlled by the options, although the premiums paid by holders of the options are worth much less.Fishman noted that the size of option-market open interest expiring on Friday is about average for an off-month expiration.Monthly options expire every month, but once a quarter -- in March, June, September and December -- an event known as \"Triple Witching\" takes place, causing notional value of expiring options to swell as quarterly and sometimes calendar-year options expire along with monthlies and weeklies.Sessions where monthly options expire often see higher-than-normal volatility, and options-market analysts warned that the same could happen on Friday.Charlie McElligott, a longtime derivatives strategist who publishes research on Nomura's trading desk, warned clients that option dealers are \"short gamma\" heading into Friday's expiration, increasing the potential for option dealers to exacerbate market volatility. McElligott illustrated this tendency in the chart below.Why are dealers short gamma, and what does this mean? As stocks have stumbled, option traders have been buying put options and selling call options. As a result, dealers could be forced to hedge their positions by buying futures if stocks rise and their customers close out their short-call positions, or selling futures to hedge the risk of puts moving into the money.This would serve to exaggerate the market's move in either direction, driving a rising market higher and a falling market lower, McElligott said.Dealers could hit \"peak short gamma\" if the S&P 500 falls to 4,320, sending a wave of puts into the money. If that happens, it's possible dealers could slam stocks lower as they rush to avoid being on the hook for puts sold to customers. The S&P 500 SPX finished Thursday at 4,370.36.Gamma is used by options analysts to describe how quickly an option's delta changes. Delta represents how sensitive the price of an option is to moves in the underlying asset. When options are about to expire, delta typically increases dramatically, since small moves that put it closer to being in or out of the money can have a dramatic impact on the option's price.Brent Kochuba, founder of SpotGamma, also cited risks tied to dealers' short-gamma position in research shared with clients. SpotGamma shares data and analytics about the option market.\"We have been watching market gamma fall into negative gamma territory all month. Once it entered that range, price action became visibly choppier, as expected during these conditions,\" he said in written commentary shared with MarketWatch and SpotGamma clients.Option contracts give traders the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the underlying asset or currency. Often, options tied to stock-market indexes like the S&P 500 are settled in futures or cash. Options tied to exchange-traded funds like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust SPY, which tracks the S&P 500 index, are settled in shares of the ETF.A put option allows the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to sell shares at an agreed-upon price known as the \"strike price.\" A call option, conversely, gives the holder the right to buy shares. Put options tend to appreciate when the underlying stock or index falls, while the opposite is true for calls.U.S. stocks finished lower on Thursday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite poised to record a third straight weekly decline, what would be the longest such streak for the S&P 500 since February.In addition to monthly options expiring Friday, weekly options known as \"zero days until expiration\" or \"0DTE\" options could further complicate the market's reaction. A veteran Goldman Sachs Group strategist warned earlier this week that 0DTE traders have been limiting upswings in stocks while piling on the pressure when markets sink.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":200,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":209905194242248,"gmtCreate":1692268767374,"gmtModify":1692268771666,"author":{"id":"3576401458285275","authorId":"3576401458285275","name":"Huitai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be4eb3604e496ba474ae6df683a3ed25","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good job ! well noted on the information presented&nbsp;","listText":"Good job ! well noted on the information presented&nbsp;","text":"Good job ! well noted on the information presented","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/209905194242248","repostId":"2360358604","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2360358604","pubTimestamp":1692267042,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2360358604?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-08-17 18:10","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"SGX Reports FY2023 Earnings of $570.9 Mil, up 26.5% YOY; Proposes Final Quarterly Dividend of 8.5 Cents","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2360358604","media":"Felicia Tan","summary":"The final quarterly dividend brings FY2023's total dividend to 32.5 cents, up from FY2022's 32 cents.

According to Ark Investment Management, which is run by tech investor Cathie Wood, that productivity boost could add a whopping $200 <em>trillion </em>to global economic output by 2030. </p><p>Investors have been feverishly buying shares of <strong>Nvidia</strong> to get in on the action because the company makes the most advanced semiconductors used in data centers to develop and train AI models. Its stock has soared by 184% in 2023 so far, crushing the benchmark <strong>S&amp;P 500</strong> stock market index, which is up just 16% year to date. </p><p>But in an interview with Bloomberg TV earlier this year, Wood said the next big AI opportunity for investors might be in software companies instead. They could potentially generate $8 in revenue for every $1 in chip hardware Nvidia sells, purely because AI has the potential to help businesses operate at a scale never before seen. </p><p>Below, I&#39;m going to share four stocks operating in the AI software space that could help investors crush the broader market in the long run. </p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1001275993cf9e7d25f1ee3b4d2692d8\" alt=\"Image source: Getty Images.\" title=\"Image source: Getty Images.\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2 id=\"id_1714515729\">1. Tesla</h2><p>That&#39;s right, <strong>Tesla </strong>isn&#39;t just the world&#39;s largest electric vehicle manufacturer. Cathie Wood actually believes this company is the biggest AI play around, thanks to its fully autonomous self-driving software. Tesla plans to sell the software to its customers, but CEO Elon Musk has also discussed the possibility of licensing it to other automakers, which would open an entirely new revenue stream.</p><p>But that&#39;s not all. Musk says the average passenger vehicle is only used 12 hours per week and spends most of its time parked. As a result, he plans to develop a ride-hailing network in which Tesla customers could lend their autonomous vehicles to earn revenue during that downtime. Proceeds would be split between the customer and Tesla, and Musk says this could help boost the company&#39;s gross profit margin per vehicle to over 70% in the long term (from 25% today). </p><p>Simply put, self-driving software could transform Tesla&#39;s economics. It forms the basis of Ark Invest&#39;s prediction that its stock will climb to $2,000 by 2027. That would mark an 824% gain from where it trades today, and it would give the company a $6 trillion valuation. If Ark is right, Tesla stock will obliterate the return of the broader market, at least as far as any historical average is concerned. </p><h2 id=\"id_2316744867\">2. Microsoft</h2><p>Few investors would have associated <strong>Microsoft </strong>with AI prior to 2023, but thanks to sizable investments in companies like OpenAI and Builder.ai, it&#39;s quickly becoming the largest distributor of the technology. Microsoft has integrated OpenAI&#39;s ChatGPT chatbot into its Bing search engine and its Office 365 document suite to boost productivity and transform the way its customers seek information. </p><p>In the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter (ended June 30), the company said users had completed over 1 billion chats and generated 750 million images on the new ChatGPT-powered Bing. Now, Microsoft is offering it as an enterprise software solution suitable for use in the workplace, allowing employees to delegate some of their workload to AI. </p><p>But the cloud is where Microsoft&#39;s AI portfolio really comes to life. Its Azure platform now offers its business customers a choice of several large language models for them to build upon, from <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a></strong>&#39; LLaMA 2 open-source model to OpenAI&#39;s latest GPT-4. The Azure OpenAI Service alone had 11,000 customers in the recent quarter, up from just 2,500 three months prior, so uptake has been rapid. </p><p>Azure was responsible for more than half of Microsoft&#39;s $110 billion in cloud revenue during the fiscal year 2023, and it was one of the fastest-growing parts of the entire company. It has helped propel Microsoft stock to a 34% gain in 2023, which is double the return of the <strong>S&amp;P 500</strong>, and if the company remains a leader in AI, investors should expect that outperformance to continue long into the future. </p><h2 id=\"id_1919821628\">3. Amazon</h2><p><strong>Amazon </strong>might be known as the world&#39;s largest e-commerce company, but it&#39;s also home to the world&#39;s largest cloud computing platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS). It leads second-placed Azure by revenue, number of customers, and breadth of functionality. Naturally, AWS is therefore becoming a dominant provider of AI technology for businesses. </p><p>Amazon CEO Andy Jassy views AI as having three core layers, and the company is investing heavily in all of them. First, there&#39;s the data center computing hardware like AWS&#39;s EC2 P5 cloud infrastructure, which runs on the latest Nvidia H100 graphics (GPU) chips designed for AI workloads. </p><p>The second layer features large language models as a service. Jassy says AWS&#39;s business customers don&#39;t want to invest the resources in building their own models; they&#39;d rather access existing ones and customize them. As a result, AWS offers several third-party options, and even one it developed in-house, called Titan. </p><p>The third and final layer features the software applications like ChatGPT, which most consumers and businesses are already familiar with. AWS currently offers applications like CodeWhisperer, which is a programming tool built on generative AI and is capable of writing computer code for developers. </p><p>Jassy says investors are far too focused on the third layer and not enough on the first two layers, where substantial financial opportunities exist, especially because Amazon has developed its own GPU chips to compete with Nvidia. That holistic, ground-up approach to AI is helping cement Amazon&#39;s position as a leader in the industry. As a result, Amazon&#39;s stock has a great shot at outperforming the broader market in the long run, particularly if Ark Invest&#39;s projections come to fruition. </p><h2 id=\"id_1602048333\">4. C3.ai</h2><p>I want to be very clear: <strong>C3.ai</strong> is the riskiest play of this bunch. Its stock has surged 197% this year -- crushing even Nvidia -- but it&#39;s still down 79% from its all-time high. The company is worth just $3.8 billion, and it&#39;s still in the process of scaling its business, which comes with challenges. But it&#39;s a true AI software play that could deliver monster returns for investors in the long run.</p><p>C3.ai has a portfolio of more than 40 ready-made and customizable AI applications, which it sells to its 287 business customers (and growing). The applications do everything from detecting fraud for banks to predicting equipment failures for some of the world&#39;s largest oil and gas companies. C3.ai&#39;s AI technology is so good that leading cloud providers like Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services also offer it to their customers!</p><p>In fact, a business developing AI software using C3.ai on AWS can complete the project 26 times faster than using just AWS alone. It&#39;s because C3.ai reduces the amount of written code required by 99%, which is exactly the type of productivity boost Cathie Wood and Ark Invest reference in their future value predictions for AI. </p><p>But C3.ai has struggled to grow recently because it&#39;s currently in the middle of a transition from a subscription-based revenue model to a consumption-based one. Subscription agreements take time to negotiate, which means onboarding customers is a slow process. Under a consumption model, businesses can simply come and go as they please while only paying for what they use, which should pave the way for faster customer growth. </p><p>C3.ai&#39;s revenue growth has stalled while its customers convert to the new pricing structure. But from fiscal 2024 (ending April 30, 2024) onward, the company expects its revenue will return to annual growth of 20% as consumption scales. If that happens, it should pave the way for market-beating upside to C3.ai stock -- but investors should always expect volatility in a company this small, especially when it operates in a new industry like AI.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

According to Ark Investment Management, which is run by tech investor Cathie Wood, that productivity boost could add a whopping $200 trillion to global economic output by 2030. Investors have been feverishly buying shares of Nvidia to get in on the action because the company makes the most advanced semiconductors used in data centers to develop and train AI models. Its stock has soared by 184% in 2023 so far, crushing the benchmark S&P 500 stock market index, which is up just 16% year to date. But in an interview with Bloomberg TV earlier this year, Wood said the next big AI opportunity for investors might be in software companies instead. They could potentially generate $8 in revenue for every $1 in chip hardware Nvidia sells, purely because AI has the potential to help businesses operate at a scale never before seen. Below, I'm going to share four stocks operating in the AI software space that could help investors crush the broader market in the long run. Image source: Getty Images.1. TeslaThat's right, Tesla isn't just the world's largest electric vehicle manufacturer. Cathie Wood actually believes this company is the biggest AI play around, thanks to its fully autonomous self-driving software. Tesla plans to sell the software to its customers, but CEO Elon Musk has also discussed the possibility of licensing it to other automakers, which would open an entirely new revenue stream.But that's not all. Musk says the average passenger vehicle is only used 12 hours per week and spends most of its time parked. As a result, he plans to develop a ride-hailing network in which Tesla customers could lend their autonomous vehicles to earn revenue during that downtime. Proceeds would be split between the customer and Tesla, and Musk says this could help boost the company's gross profit margin per vehicle to over 70% in the long term (from 25% today). Simply put, self-driving software could transform Tesla's economics. It forms the basis of Ark Invest's prediction that its stock will climb to $2,000 by 2027. That would mark an 824% gain from where it trades today, and it would give the company a $6 trillion valuation. If Ark is right, Tesla stock will obliterate the return of the broader market, at least as far as any historical average is concerned. 2. MicrosoftFew investors would have associated Microsoft with AI prior to 2023, but thanks to sizable investments in companies like OpenAI and Builder.ai, it's quickly becoming the largest distributor of the technology. Microsoft has integrated OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot into its Bing search engine and its Office 365 document suite to boost productivity and transform the way its customers seek information. In the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter (ended June 30), the company said users had completed over 1 billion chats and generated 750 million images on the new ChatGPT-powered Bing. Now, Microsoft is offering it as an enterprise software solution suitable for use in the workplace, allowing employees to delegate some of their workload to AI. But the cloud is where Microsoft's AI portfolio really comes to life. Its Azure platform now offers its business customers a choice of several large language models for them to build upon, from Meta Platforms' LLaMA 2 open-source model to OpenAI's latest GPT-4. The Azure OpenAI Service alone had 11,000 customers in the recent quarter, up from just 2,500 three months prior, so uptake has been rapid. Azure was responsible for more than half of Microsoft's $110 billion in cloud revenue during the fiscal year 2023, and it was one of the fastest-growing parts of the entire company. It has helped propel Microsoft stock to a 34% gain in 2023, which is double the return of the S&P 500, and if the company remains a leader in AI, investors should expect that outperformance to continue long into the future. 3. AmazonAmazon might be known as the world's largest e-commerce company, but it's also home to the world's largest cloud computing platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS).

C3.aiI want to be very clear: C3.ai is the riskiest play of this bunch. Its stock has surged 197% this year -- crushing even Nvidia -- but it's still down 79% from its all-time high. The company is worth just $3.8 billion, and it's still in the process of scaling its business, which comes with challenges.

It also reportedly wiped out a quarter of CEO Forrest Li&#39;s wealth. Weak holders who didn&#39;t anticipate such massive volatility likely fled, as the Singapore-headquartered internet company telegraphed more investments in e-commerce should be expected.</p><p>As such, a delayed push toward e-commerce profitability is likely in the works, as investors who fled feared the loss-driven gross merchandise value or GMV growth that characterized SE&#39;s previous rapid ascent and descent.</p><p>However, since SE&#39;s massive battering that formed its November 2022 bottom, the company has strategically adjusted its e-commerce growth. With growth in Southeast Asia slowing and hobbled by a possible recession, Sea Limited switched gears as the company underscored its commitment to profitability.</p><p>However, in yesterday&#39;s second-quarter or FQ2 earnings release, management&#39;s commentary reignited worries about when investors can expect Sea Limited to post sustainable profitability. Analysts on the call were palpably surprised by the renewed focus to invest more aggressively in its e-commerce business. Management also didn&#39;t reject suggestions that its near-term profitability could be impacted as investors assess the possible extent of further losses.</p><p>I discussed the impact of TikTok (BDNCE) in my pre-earnings update, suggesting investors must assess the increasing competitive threat posed by the ByteDance-owned unit. Management&#39;s commentary in the earnings call was aimed at TikTok, as Sea Limited channels its investments to live-streaming and content-based e-commerce. Investors should also anticipate more significant shipping subsidies as Shopee (Sea Limited&#39;s e-commerce unit) reaccelerates its investments push.</p><p>I highlighted in my previous update that Sea Limited is expected to be on track for potentially significant operating leverage gains. Yesterday&#39;s selloff suggests the market has likely priced in a substantial downward de-rating in its profitability push. While Sea Limited bears could point out that the company&#39;s aggressive subsidies-induced growth is unsustainable, I believe management has proved that they could pivot their strategies expeditiously.</p><p>Coupled with more robust and potentially bottoming performance from Garena (Sea Limited&#39;s gaming arm) as it posted constructive growth metrics, Sea Limited is reinvesting from a position of strength.</p><p>I assessed that the company likely viewed TikTok&#39;s competitive challenge as formidable and needs to be addressed. Despite that, Shopee remains the market leader in Indonesia and the Southeast Asia region. Notwithstanding the leadership, management emphasized that long-term leadership remains predicated on Shopee&#39;s ability to consolidate its position as a low-cost leader.</p><p>Group Chief Corporate Officer Yanjun Wang accentuated that &#34;in the long term, competition in e-commerce is fundamentally based on serving users efficiently and at low cost.&#34; As such, Shopee must focus on improving its cost efficiencies on its path toward profitability.</p><p>Sea Limited&#39;s ability to achieve adjusted EBITDA gains in e-commerce and Sea Money (fintech unit) indicates the presence and benefits of its growing scale. Hence, while TikTok is a formidable threat, Sea Limited&#39;s e-commerce and flywheel should position it well to take the near-term profitability hit as it looks to expand its market leadership to squeeze TikTok. Moreover, its cash and liquidity position has improved to $7.7B in Q2, suggesting the company is not expected to face imminent liquidity crunches.</p><p>I believe analysts will likely mark down Sea Limited&#39;s adjusted EBITDA estimates over the next three years, given the company&#39;s strategic adjustments. While I&#39;m disappointed that it would likely lead to an extension before reaching sustainable profitability, I&#39;m also assured that yesterday&#39;s &#34;historic selloff&#34; likely led to a massive capitulation which could help SE bottom out against its November 2022 support zone.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86b92ee0c0f0c3e3873f8ceae727faae\" alt=\"SE price chart (weekly) (TradingView)\" title=\"SE price chart (weekly) (TradingView)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"340\"/><span>SE price chart (weekly) (TradingView)</span></p><p>Considering SE&#39;s 2-Day chart above, it&#39;s clear that market operators de-rated SE in anticipation of an extended profitability push.

SE could bottom out from here with selling exhaustion.I make the case for why I decided to buy aggressively at yesterday's session lows. If you have been waiting to buy more, make full use of the steep selloff.DNY59Bloomberg called it a \"historic tumble,\" as Sea Limited (NYSE:SE) investors saw its stock close nearly 29% below its previous day's session. It also reportedly wiped out a quarter of CEO Forrest Li's wealth. Weak holders who didn't anticipate such massive volatility likely fled, as the Singapore-headquartered internet company telegraphed more investments in e-commerce should be expected.As such, a delayed push toward e-commerce profitability is likely in the works, as investors who fled feared the loss-driven gross merchandise value or GMV growth that characterized SE's previous rapid ascent and descent.However, since SE's massive battering that formed its November 2022 bottom, the company has strategically adjusted its e-commerce growth. With growth in Southeast Asia slowing and hobbled by a possible recession, Sea Limited switched gears as the company underscored its commitment to profitability.However, in yesterday's second-quarter or FQ2 earnings release, management's commentary reignited worries about when investors can expect Sea Limited to post sustainable profitability. Analysts on the call were palpably surprised by the renewed focus to invest more aggressively in its e-commerce business. Management also didn't reject suggestions that its near-term profitability could be impacted as investors assess the possible extent of further losses.I discussed the impact of TikTok (BDNCE) in my pre-earnings update, suggesting investors must assess the increasing competitive threat posed by the ByteDance-owned unit. Management's commentary in the earnings call was aimed at TikTok, as Sea Limited channels its investments to live-streaming and content-based e-commerce. Investors should also anticipate more significant shipping subsidies as Shopee (Sea Limited's e-commerce unit) reaccelerates its investments push.I highlighted in my previous update that Sea Limited is expected to be on track for potentially significant operating leverage gains. Yesterday's selloff suggests the market has likely priced in a substantial downward de-rating in its profitability push. While Sea Limited bears could point out that the company's aggressive subsidies-induced growth is unsustainable, I believe management has proved that they could pivot their strategies expeditiously.Coupled with more robust and potentially bottoming performance from Garena (Sea Limited's gaming arm) as it posted constructive growth metrics, Sea Limited is reinvesting from a position of strength.I assessed that the company likely viewed TikTok's competitive challenge as formidable and needs to be addressed. Despite that, Shopee remains the market leader in Indonesia and the Southeast Asia region. Notwithstanding the leadership, management emphasized that long-term leadership remains predicated on Shopee's ability to consolidate its position as a low-cost leader.Group Chief Corporate Officer Yanjun Wang accentuated that \"in the long term, competition in e-commerce is fundamentally based on serving users efficiently and at low cost.\" As such, Shopee must focus on improving its cost efficiencies on its path toward profitability.Sea Limited's ability to achieve adjusted EBITDA gains in e-commerce and Sea Money (fintech unit) indicates the presence and benefits of its growing scale. Hence, while TikTok is a formidable threat, Sea Limited's e-commerce and flywheel should position it well to take the near-term profitability hit as it looks to expand its market leadership to squeeze TikTok. Moreover, its cash and liquidity position has improved to $7.7B in Q2, suggesting the company is not expected to face imminent liquidity crunches.I believe analysts will likely mark down Sea Limited's adjusted EBITDA estimates over the next three years, given the company's strategic adjustments. While I'm disappointed that it would likely lead to an extension before reaching sustainable profitability, I'm also assured that yesterday's \"historic selloff\" likely led to a massive capitulation which could help SE bottom out against its November 2022 support zone.SE price chart (weekly) (TradingView)Considering SE's 2-Day chart above, it's clear that market operators de-rated SE in anticipation of an extended profitability push. However, the price action signals strongly suggest that the selloff indicates a capitulation event re-testing its November 2022 lows.With that low taken out, I expect dip buyers looking for selling exhaustion to return. While still early, I've already used its plunge yesterday to add more positions near the session's lows.More conservative investors should consider waiting for a validated bullish reversal before picking their spots. However, with yesterday's selldown and Sea Limited's increasing scale, SE remains a Buy, offering investors another opportunity to add in line with last year's lows.Rating: Maintain Speculative Buy. Please note that a Buy rating is equivalent to a Bullish or Market Outperform rating.

Long ago, investors had come to terms with its shrinking Digital Entertainment segment, so this segment being down slightly didn&#39;t cause investors too much concern.</p><p>However, what investors have latched onto is Sea&#39;s growth engine, its Digital Financial Services (&#39;&#39;DFS&#39;&#39;), which saw a substantial deceleration from Q1. To illustrate, see if you can pick up a trend for Sea&#39;s DFS segment:</p><ul><li><p>Q2 2022: 214% y/y</p></li><li><p>Q3 2022: 147% y/y</p></li><li><p>Q4 2022: 92% y/y</p></li><li><p>Q1 2023: 75% y/y</p></li><li><p>Q2 2023: 53% y/y.</p></li></ul><p>This poses a significant problem. Why? Because investors were backing this stock were backing what <em>they believed</em> to be a business that had another segment asides from its e-commerce segment to deliver strong growth rates.</p><p>And with its DFS segment rapidly decelerating from more than 200% y/y growth this time last year to 53% y/y this time around, investors are left searching and asking tough questions.</p><h2 id=\"id_464247106\">Revenue Growth Rates Fizzled Out</h2><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/08c5bcebd43fcbd18b62236fb5b6c629\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"227\"/></p><p>SE revenue growth rates</p><p>One of the problems with investing is that when the share price is going up, nobody is going to waste too much energy asking difficult questions about their investment.

But the fact that its underlying profitability has so dramatically improved undoubtedly supports its valuation.</p><p>To illustrate, Sea may end 2023 with slightly more than $2 billion in adjusted EBITDA profitability.</p><p>On the other hand, investors may declare that much of this progress is already old news, after all, Sea had already delivered a similar improvement in profitability last quarter, Q1 2023, see below:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2062ccc2a8499f5dc4d80c7dee119ab5\" title=\"\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"503\"/></p><p>SEA Q1 2023</p><p>Meaning that, yes, Sea&#39;s y/y profitability comparison has improved. But sequentially? Sea has delivered practically no improvement.</p><p>On yet the other hand, I believe that paying very approximately 14x this year&#39;s EBITDA is a very attractive risk-reward. Indeed, if you think about it, this year is practically finished. Meaning that most investors will already be attempting to price in 2024.</p><p>Further, it&#39;s highly likely that in 2024, Sea could be on the cusp of reporting $3 billion of EBITDA. That means that the stock is priced at 10x next year&#39;s EBITDA.

Not only did Sea's revenue growth rates miss analysts' expectations, but the details of this revenue miss matter.I declare that investors felt disenchanted and frustrated to see that Sea's key growth engine, its Digital Financial Services, delivered yet another quarter of slowing revenue growth rates.Nevertheless, I argue, that paying 10x next year's EBITDA for Sea is probably as cheap as this is going to get. Here's why I'm bullish on Sea Limited.Read more: Singapore's Sea Misses Quarterly Revenue EstimatesSea Limited's Growth Engine in FocusSea Limited SegmentsAbove we see Sea's 3 main segments. Long ago, investors had come to terms with its shrinking Digital Entertainment segment, so this segment being down slightly didn't cause investors too much concern.However, what investors have latched onto is Sea's growth engine, its Digital Financial Services (''DFS''), which saw a substantial deceleration from Q1. To illustrate, see if you can pick up a trend for Sea's DFS segment:Q2 2022: 214% y/yQ3 2022: 147% y/yQ4 2022: 92% y/yQ1 2023: 75% y/yQ2 2023: 53% y/y.This poses a significant problem. Why? Because investors were backing this stock were backing what they believed to be a business that had another segment asides from its e-commerce segment to deliver strong growth rates.And with its DFS segment rapidly decelerating from more than 200% y/y growth this time last year to 53% y/y this time around, investors are left searching and asking tough questions.Revenue Growth Rates Fizzled OutSE revenue growth ratesOne of the problems with investing is that when the share price is going up, nobody is going to waste too much energy asking difficult questions about their investment. After all, the stock is going up, and everyone is a buy-and-hold-forever investor.But when the company starts to report slowing revenue growth rates, all of a sudden investors start to look ahead and show slightly more trepidation before sending good money after bad.In practical terms, investors are now looking out to the end of 2023 and asking, if Q2 delivered just 5% y/y growth rates, what sort of growth rates can we expect towards the back end of 2023?Luckily for investors, Sea's comparables ease up substantially over the next couple of quarters, so even if its revenue growth rates don't accelerate, its y/y comparables should be attractive enough for Sea to deliver close to 10% y/y revenue growth rates into H2 2023.SA PremiumFurthermore, as you can see above, analysts' consensus estimates for Sea had already been markedly lowered, to the point that analysts have already reduced their financial projections for Q4 2023 to 3% y/y revenue growth rates.In other words, Sea's growth hurdles had already been lowered.Profitability Profile ExaminedSE Q2 2023Sea's bull case is focused on Sea's ability to turn the corner on its profitability. To this end, the graphic above demonstrates Sea's progress. As you can see above, Sea's EBITDA went from negative $0.5 billion EBITDA in last year's Q2 to just over $0.5 billion this time around -- a jump of $1 billion in profitability in 12 months.Put another way, yes investors are disenchanted with Sea's growth engine slowing down. But the fact that its underlying profitability has so dramatically improved undoubtedly supports its valuation.To illustrate, Sea may end 2023 with slightly more than $2 billion in adjusted EBITDA profitability.On the other hand, investors may declare that much of this progress is already old news, after all, Sea had already delivered a similar improvement in profitability last quarter, Q1 2023, see below:SEA Q1 2023Meaning that, yes, Sea's y/y profitability comparison has improved. But sequentially? Sea has delivered practically no improvement.On yet the other hand, I believe that paying very approximately 14x this year's EBITDA is a very attractive risk-reward. Indeed, if you think about it, this year is practically finished. Meaning that most investors will already be attempting to price in 2024.Further, it's highly likely that in 2024, Sea could be on the cusp of reporting $3 billion of EBITDA. That means that the stock is priced at 10x next year's EBITDA. Surely, that's cheap enough?The Bottom LineSea Limited's recent Q2 2023 results left investors disappointed, particularly due to the underwhelming performance of its Digital Financial Services segment, which experienced a significant deceleration in revenue growth rates.This slowdown raised concerns about Sea's ability to sustain its growth trajectory.Despite this setback, I argue that the current valuation, with Sea trading at around 10x next year's EBITDA, presents an attractive opportunity.While the DFS segment's growth has faltered, Sea's profitability profile has notably improved, and the prospect of reaching $3 billion in EBITDA by 2024 supports the stock's potential upside.Although questions linger, paying such a valuation for Sea might just be as affordable as it gets in the near term. As always, the investing journey continues with its twists and turns.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":199,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":198073164345392,"gmtCreate":1689392104388,"gmtModify":1689392107811,"author":{"id":"3576401458285275","authorId":"3576401458285275","name":"Huitai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be4eb3604e496ba474ae6df683a3ed25","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I still believe the stock can up more base on market trend","listText":"I still believe the stock can up more base on market trend","text":"I still believe the stock can up more base on market trend","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/198073164345392","repostId":"2351237276","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":224,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":195283110068480,"gmtCreate":1688702141458,"gmtModify":1688702145183,"author":{"id":"3576401458285275","authorId":"3576401458285275","name":"Huitai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be4eb3604e496ba474ae6df683a3ed25","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy small average &nbsp;down will not miss when market is up trend&nbsp;","listText":"Buy small average &nbsp;down will not miss when market is up trend&nbsp;","text":"Buy small average down will not miss when market is up trend","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/195283110068480","repostId":"1129140362","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":102,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":194997973995752,"gmtCreate":1688614637573,"gmtModify":1688614641968,"author":{"id":"3576401458285275","authorId":"3576401458285275","name":"Huitai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be4eb3604e496ba474ae6df683a3ed25","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks for sharing , at least retail&nbsp; investors like us know that We are not alone in this game .&nbsp;","listText":"Thanks for sharing , at least retail&nbsp; investors like us know that We are not alone in this game .&nbsp;","text":"Thanks for sharing , at least retail investors like us know that We are not alone in this game .","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/194997973995752","repostId":"2349377736","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":301,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":192836708532416,"gmtCreate":1688108942892,"gmtModify":1688108946845,"author":{"id":"3576401458285275","authorId":"3576401458285275","name":"Huitai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be4eb3604e496ba474ae6df683a3ed25","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy boths and keep for long term sure win","listText":"Buy boths and keep for long term sure win","text":"Buy boths and keep for long term sure win","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/192836708532416","repostId":"2347384537","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2347384537","pubTimestamp":1688086899,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2347384537?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-06-30 09:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Want to Get Richer? 2 Top AI Stocks to Buy Right Now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2347384537","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Artificial intelligence (AI) appears to have real potential to go down as this decade's most disruptive technology trend.

TSMC is a great pick-and-shovel play in the AI space</h2><p><strong>Keith Noonan: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing</strong>, or TSMC as it&#39;s often called, stands as the far-and-away leader in the semiconductor fabrication space. While tech leaders including <strong>Nvidia</strong>, <strong>Advanced Micro Devices</strong>, <strong>Amazon</strong>, <strong>Apple</strong>, and <strong>Microsoft</strong> are all devoting resources to the development of cutting-edge AI chips, none of these companies have the infrastructure needed to manufacture their own semiconductors.

Demand from Nvidia will almost certainly remain high, and orders from other big tech players will likely start pouring in, as well. </p><p>Even after rallying roughly 37% year to date, TSMC still trades at a reasonable 20x this year&#39;s expected earnings. Looking a bit further ahead, the company is valued at around 16x next year&#39;s expected profits. </p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/00df44ecfca6132e8bd2e231bdd445eb\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\"/></p><p>TSM PE Ratio (Forward 1y) data by YCharts.</p><p>Despite surging demand for AI chips, the global semiconductor market is expected to see a relatively small cyclical contraction this year. But AI trends and rebounding demand in other categories are expected to spur a return to growth next year.</p><p>With TSMC set to benefit from some powerful demand tailwinds, the stock stands out as a smart pick-and-shovel bet on the unfolding AI revolution. </p><h2>2. Alphabet&#39;s products are better with AI</h2><p><strong>Parkev Tatevosian:</strong> With the expanded interest in AI, management for just about every company operating in this space is emphasizing how their companies will benefit from the rising effectiveness of AI. That said, the number of companies that will <em>actually</em> benefit from AI is a much more selective set. One AI stock in this latter group is <strong>Alphabet</strong>. </p><p>Alphabet has two primary revenue engines at the moment, Google Search and YouTube. Each has already shown it can enhance the value it offers both users and advertisers in how it already implements AI. For instance, YouTube uses AI to generate its list of recommended videos it thinks you&#39;ll likely want to watch. YouTube, of course, makes most of its money showing advertisements to users engaged on the platform. The better it is at getting you to watch more of them, the more revenue it can generate. Similarly, Google Search uses AI to find results from your search queries it thinks best fit your needs. The powerful search engine also makes money from advertising. Users who are satisfied with the search query results will likely return more often. </p><p>But Alphabet is not just Google and YouTube and its exploration of how it can put AI to use doesn&#39;t stop there. Alphabet is incorporating AI technologies and machine learning into Google Cloud to offer its customers more sophisticated and personalized services. It&#39;s using AI to provide enhanced security and threat detection, which is increasingly important as businesses face more advanced cyber threats. Its Waymo autonomous vehicles are all about using AI to operate vehicles safely and efficiently. Its Verily Life Science division uses AI to analyze large amounts of medical data to develop new treatments and cures for various diseases. In all these cases, AI is integral to its potential for growth.</p><p>Alphabet has already proven it has a lucrative business model. The company&#39;s revenue soared from $56 billion to $283 billion in the last decade. At the same time, its operating income jumped from $15.4 billion to $74.8 billion. As the company continues to use and improve its AI to enhance its efforts, Alphabet&#39;s prospects over the next decade look enticing.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3b16c13b578bef53812d4484ce84b4e3\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\"/></p><p>GOOG PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts.</p><p>Moreover, investors can get Alphabet stock at a reasonable valuation of a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 23. It&#39;s no surprise why Alphabet is one of my favorite AI stocks to buy right now. </p><h2>Don&#39;t underestimate the long-term AI opportunity</h2><p>While some smaller companies will undoubtedly score disruptive wins with artificial intelligence, the resource-intensive nature of the technology category suggests that established tech giants will wind up being AI&#39;s biggest winners. To that end, TSMC and Alphabet each have deep resources and powerful competitive advantages that could be enhanced by the evolution of AI. Even better, both companies are also trading at valuation levels that leave the door open for long-term investors to see very strong returns. </p></body></html>","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>Want to Get Richer? 2 Top AI Stocks to Buy Right Now</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\">\nWant to Get Richer? 2 Top AI Stocks to Buy Right Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-06-30 09:01 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/06/29/want-to-get-richer-2-top-ai-stocks-to-buy-right-no/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) appears to have real potential to go down as this decade's most disruptive technology trend.

Demand from Nvidia will almost certainly remain high, and orders from other big tech players will likely start pouring in, as well. Even after rallying roughly 37% year to date, TSMC still trades at a reasonable 20x this year's expected earnings. Looking a bit further ahead, the company is valued at around 16x next year's expected profits. TSM PE Ratio (Forward 1y) data by YCharts.Despite surging demand for AI chips, the global semiconductor market is expected to see a relatively small cyclical contraction this year. But AI trends and rebounding demand in other categories are expected to spur a return to growth next year.With TSMC set to benefit from some powerful demand tailwinds, the stock stands out as a smart pick-and-shovel bet on the unfolding AI revolution. 2. Alphabet's products are better with AIParkev Tatevosian: With the expanded interest in AI, management for just about every company operating in this space is emphasizing how their companies will benefit from the rising effectiveness of AI. That said, the number of companies that will actually benefit from AI is a much more selective set. One AI stock in this latter group is Alphabet. Alphabet has two primary revenue engines at the moment, Google Search and YouTube. Each has already shown it can enhance the value it offers both users and advertisers in how it already implements AI. For instance, YouTube uses AI to generate its list of recommended videos it thinks you'll likely want to watch. YouTube, of course, makes most of its money showing advertisements to users engaged on the platform. The better it is at getting you to watch more of them, the more revenue it can generate. Similarly, Google Search uses AI to find results from your search queries it thinks best fit your needs. The powerful search engine also makes money from advertising. Users who are satisfied with the search query results will likely return more often. But Alphabet is not just Google and YouTube and its exploration of how it can put AI to use doesn't stop there. Alphabet is incorporating AI technologies and machine learning into Google Cloud to offer its customers more sophisticated and personalized services. It's using AI to provide enhanced security and threat detection, which is increasingly important as businesses face more advanced cyber threats. Its Waymo autonomous vehicles are all about using AI to operate vehicles safely and efficiently. Its Verily Life Science division uses AI to analyze large amounts of medical data to develop new treatments and cures for various diseases. In all these cases, AI is integral to its potential for growth.Alphabet has already proven it has a lucrative business model. The company's revenue soared from $56 billion to $283 billion in the last decade. At the same time, its operating income jumped from $15.4 billion to $74.8 billion. As the company continues to use and improve its AI to enhance its efforts, Alphabet's prospects over the next decade look enticing.GOOG PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts.Moreover, investors can get Alphabet stock at a reasonable valuation of a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 23. It's no surprise why Alphabet is one of my favorite AI stocks to buy right now. Don't underestimate the long-term AI opportunityWhile some smaller companies will undoubtedly score disruptive wins with artificial intelligence, the resource-intensive nature of the technology category suggests that established tech giants will wind up being AI's biggest winners. To that end, TSMC and Alphabet each have deep resources and powerful competitive advantages that could be enhanced by the evolution of AI. Even better, both companies are also trading at valuation levels that leave the door open for long-term investors to see very strong returns.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":137,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":766235112767664,"gmtCreate":1687773723073,"gmtModify":1687773726622,"author":{"id":"3576401458285275","authorId":"3576401458285275","name":"Huitai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be4eb3604e496ba474ae6df683a3ed25","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wonder how much is each battery swap stations cost","listText":"Wonder how much is each battery swap stations cost","text":"Wonder how much is each battery swap stations cost","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/766235112767664","repostId":"2346051454","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2346051454","pubTimestamp":1687770421,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2346051454?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-06-26 17:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nio Reaches 1,500 Swap Stations in China As It Aims for 2,300 By Year-End","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2346051454","media":"CnEVPost","summary":"Nio's battery swap stations in China have served a cumulative total of more than 24 million times today, averaging more than 50,000 services per day.\n...","content":"<html><head></head><body><blockquote>Nio&#39;s battery swap stations in China have served a cumulative total of more than 24 million times today, averaging more than 50,000 services per day.</blockquote><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NIO\">Nio</a> has reached a new milestone in the number of battery swap stations in China, as it continues to build its iconic replenishment facility.</p><p>Nio today put five new battery swap stations into operation in China, bringing the total to 1,500, 410 of which are located along highways, according to data released today by the electric vehicle (EV) maker.</p><p>At the same time, Nio&#39;s battery swap stations in China have accumulated more than 24 million services today, averaging more than 50,000 services per day.</p><p>On average, a vehicle leaves Nio&#39;s battery swap stations with a fully charged battery every 1.8 seconds, the company said, adding that more than 60 percent of NIO vehicles&#39; power comes from these stations.</p><p>Currently, 72.44 percent of Nio owners can find a battery swap station within 3 kilometers of their home or office, Nio said.</p><p>Here&#39;s a video Nio shared on its mobile app about the historical changes in the number of its battery swap stations.</p><p>In addition to providing Nio owners with fully charged batteries, battery swap stations are small, distributed energy storage sites.</p><p>Nio&#39;s 1,500 battery swap stations can store a total of about 1.36 million kWh of energy, saving about RMB 300 million yuan a year in electricity costs in China, considering that electricity costs are lower at night, the company said.</p><p>These stations can also participate in load regulation on the grid, helping it accommodate more electricity generated from clean energy sources such as wind and photovoltaics, Nio said.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/87ecf85a6cc534d176b76c07aaae1729\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"675\"/></p><p>Nio allows consumers to purchase vehicles that include batteries, or rent batteries without buying them.

NIO is increasing unit sales of high-end BEVs but the rate of increase has been mild relative to what we&#39;ve seen from other OEMs in China.</p><p>At the time of this writing, RMB 1,000 is equivalent to about $140.</p><h2>Consumer Preferences</h2><p>A WSJ article by Greg Ip allows readers to visualize the fact that all of NIO&#39;s new energy vehicles (&#34;NEVs&#34;) are battery electric vehicles (&#34;BEVs&#34;) while a little more than half of BYD&#39;s (OTCPK:BYDDY) NEVs are plug-in-hybrid vehicles (&#34;PHEVs&#34;) instead of BEVs:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/72c178805259ddee176faeed72bc4d61\" alt=\"China NEVs (WSJ)\" title=\"China NEVs (WSJ)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"671\"/><span>China NEVs (WSJ)</span></p><p>The NEV market is expanding in China and BEVs make up a bigger part of this market than PHEVs. Citing CAAM, the GAC 2022 Results Presentation shows sales of 19,977,000 vehicles in China for 2022. 6,887,000 of these were NEVs and nearly 80% of these NEVs were BEVs such that the BEV total was 5,365,000:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aeb6ec6db124b683e82f20379fb5ac49\" alt=\"China BEVs (GAC 2022 Results Presentation)\" title=\"China BEVs (GAC 2022 Results Presentation)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"336\"/><span>China BEVs (GAC 2022 Results Presentation)</span></p><p>The NEV market is even bigger in 2023 but unfortunately for NIO, much of this increase is from PHEVs and low-end BEVs as opposed to high-end BEVs. A June article from CnEVPost talks about this:</p><blockquote>Based on our analysis of the premium SUV market (&gt;300k RMB), the BEV mix is only 12% YTD, compared with PHEV (includes EREV) at 18%, leaving 70% for ICE. This compares with the overall market that is 21% BEV and 10% PHEV, showing customer preferences are quite different depending on the sub-segment.</blockquote><p>Said another way, CnEVPost is saying premium SUV NEVs are about 30% of the market so far in 2023 with the remainder being ICE and the NEV breakdown is 12% BEV and 18% PHEV. This compares to the overall NEV segment that is about 31% of the market with a breakdown that is 21% BEV and just 10% PHEV. This means companies like BYD that sell both BEVs and PHEVs at various price points have many sales opportunities that NIO does not.</p><h2>Large Competitors</h2><p>Given consumer preferences for high-end PHEVs over high-end BEVs above, large companies like BYD are advantaged with respect to NIO in terms of increasing unit sales. The growth of another large competitor, Tesla (TSLA), is more concerning than BYD in some ways because Tesla also offers high-end BEVs although the Tesla Model 3 is a little less expensive than the typical NIO vehicle. The CPCA shows that BYD and Tesla are outperforming everyone with January to May NEV sales of 923,343 units and 219,893 units, respectively. Their YoY growth rates are both over 80% which is especially impressive given the fact that they both started with large bases last year. Parts of the Google Translate text are hard to read below but the #5 position belongs to Geely Auto and NIO is way down at #10 with a YoY growth rate of 15.8% which is more modest:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6bbc3c10c6c39b4ea63ed5d58c762fc5\" alt=\"China NEVs (CPCA)\" title=\"China NEVs (CPCA)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"925\"/><span>China NEVs (CPCA)</span></p><p>In addition to BYD and Tesla, NIO also has to contend with GAC Aion whose YoY growth rate is over 100%. SAIC-GM-Wuling is shown as #4 above but I don&#39;t pay much attention to them seeing as most of their units are more like golf carts than automobiles. Geely Auto and Changan are #5 and #7 above and they are working together on electrification so this is yet another formidable interest.</p><h2>Pricing Power</h2><p>NIO&#39;s 1Q23 announcement shows deliveries increased from 25,768 in 1Q22 up to 31,041 in 1Q23. However, vehicle sales on the income statement were fairly flat, going from RMB 9,244 million to RMB 9,224. Rounding to the nearest RMB 10,000, this comes out to about RMB 360 thousand per vehicle for 1Q22 and about RMB 300 thousand per vehicle for 1Q23. This decline in price is concerning:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/38784473e8905ab352f7becdd4393ec9\" alt=\"NIO Income Statement (1Q23 announcement)\" title=\"NIO Income Statement (1Q23 announcement)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"650\"/><span>NIO Income Statement (1Q23 announcement)</span></p><h2>Gross Margin</h2><p>Obviously the decline in sales price above hurts the gross margin. In addition, the 2022 annual report says the vehicle gross margin fell by about 3.8% in 2022 due to the increased battery cost per vehicle:</p><blockquote>Vehicle margin in 2022 was 13.7%, compared with 20.1% in 2021. The decrease of vehicle margin as compared to 2021 was mainly driven by (i) the increased battery cost per vehicle with negative impact of around 3.8%, and (ii) the increased inventory provisions, accelerated depreciation on production facilities, and losses on purchase commitments for the existing generation of ES8, ES6 and EC6 which are expected to have lower production levels and deliveries due to their transition to new models under NT2.0, with a negative impact of 2.2% on vehicle margin.</blockquote><h2>Valuation</h2><p>The 2022 annual report shows revenue climbing nicely from 2020 to 2021 and again from 2021 to 2022:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1c151156761a9b83ee8b2a1b6e061bab\" alt=\"NIO Financials (2022 annual report)\" title=\"NIO Financials (2022 annual report)\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"697\"/><span>NIO Financials (2022 annual report)</span></p><p>Unfortunately, revenue was fairly flat from 1Q22 to 1Q23. Trailing twelve-month (&#34;TTM&#34;) net loss, gross profit and revenue were RMB (17,394) million, RMB 3,859 million and RMB 50,034 million, respectively. This comes from RMB (4,740) million + RMB (14,437) million - RMB (1,783) million, RMB 162 million + RMB 5,144 million - RMB 1,447 million and RMB 10,676 million + RMB 49,269 million - RMB 9,911 million, respectively. This TTM revenue figure is equivalent to about $7 billion and it&#39;s hard to say what NIO is worth given the net losses and the volatility of the gross profit. Additionally, JAC does the manufacturing for NIO so some of the economics are obfuscated. Finally, the viability of the battery as a service (&#34;BaaS&#34;) business is hard to predict.</p><p>The 1Q23 announcement uses 1,649,309,669 as the weighted average number of ordinary shares.

NIO is increasing unit sales of high-end BEVs but the rate of increase has been mild relative to what we've seen from other OEMs in China.At the time of this writing, RMB 1,000 is equivalent to about $140.Consumer PreferencesA WSJ article by Greg Ip allows readers to visualize the fact that all of NIO's new energy vehicles (\"NEVs\") are battery electric vehicles (\"BEVs\") while a little more than half of BYD's (OTCPK:BYDDY) NEVs are plug-in-hybrid vehicles (\"PHEVs\") instead of BEVs:China NEVs (WSJ)The NEV market is expanding in China and BEVs make up a bigger part of this market than PHEVs. Citing CAAM, the GAC 2022 Results Presentation shows sales of 19,977,000 vehicles in China for 2022. 6,887,000 of these were NEVs and nearly 80% of these NEVs were BEVs such that the BEV total was 5,365,000:China BEVs (GAC 2022 Results Presentation)The NEV market is even bigger in 2023 but unfortunately for NIO, much of this increase is from PHEVs and low-end BEVs as opposed to high-end BEVs. A June article from CnEVPost talks about this:Based on our analysis of the premium SUV market (>300k RMB), the BEV mix is only 12% YTD, compared with PHEV (includes EREV) at 18%, leaving 70% for ICE. This compares with the overall market that is 21% BEV and 10% PHEV, showing customer preferences are quite different depending on the sub-segment.Said another way, CnEVPost is saying premium SUV NEVs are about 30% of the market so far in 2023 with the remainder being ICE and the NEV breakdown is 12% BEV and 18% PHEV. This compares to the overall NEV segment that is about 31% of the market with a breakdown that is 21% BEV and just 10% PHEV. This means companies like BYD that sell both BEVs and PHEVs at various price points have many sales opportunities that NIO does not.Large CompetitorsGiven consumer preferences for high-end PHEVs over high-end BEVs above, large companies like BYD are advantaged with respect to NIO in terms of increasing unit sales. The growth of another large competitor, Tesla (TSLA), is more concerning than BYD in some ways because Tesla also offers high-end BEVs although the Tesla Model 3 is a little less expensive than the typical NIO vehicle. The CPCA shows that BYD and Tesla are outperforming everyone with January to May NEV sales of 923,343 units and 219,893 units, respectively. Their YoY growth rates are both over 80% which is especially impressive given the fact that they both started with large bases last year. Parts of the Google Translate text are hard to read below but the #5 position belongs to Geely Auto and NIO is way down at #10 with a YoY growth rate of 15.8% which is more modest:China NEVs (CPCA)In addition to BYD and Tesla, NIO also has to contend with GAC Aion whose YoY growth rate is over 100%. SAIC-GM-Wuling is shown as #4 above but I don't pay much attention to them seeing as most of their units are more like golf carts than automobiles. Geely Auto and Changan are #5 and #7 above and they are working together on electrification so this is yet another formidable interest.Pricing PowerNIO's 1Q23 announcement shows deliveries increased from 25,768 in 1Q22 up to 31,041 in 1Q23. However, vehicle sales on the income statement were fairly flat, going from RMB 9,244 million to RMB 9,224. Rounding to the nearest RMB 10,000, this comes out to about RMB 360 thousand per vehicle for 1Q22 and about RMB 300 thousand per vehicle for 1Q23. This decline in price is concerning:NIO Income Statement (1Q23 announcement)Gross MarginObviously the decline in sales price above hurts the gross margin. In addition, the 2022 annual report says the vehicle gross margin fell by about 3.8% in 2022 due to the increased battery cost per vehicle:Vehicle margin in 2022 was 13.7%, compared with 20.1% in 2021. The decrease of vehicle margin as compared to 2021 was mainly driven by (i) the increased battery cost per vehicle with negative impact of around 3.8%, and (ii) the increased inventory provisions, accelerated depreciation on production facilities, and losses on purchase commitments for the existing generation of ES8, ES6 and EC6 which are expected to have lower production levels and deliveries due to their transition to new models under NT2.0, with a negative impact of 2.2% on vehicle margin.ValuationThe 2022 annual report shows revenue climbing nicely from 2020 to 2021 and again from 2021 to 2022:NIO Financials (2022 annual report)Unfortunately, revenue was fairly flat from 1Q22 to 1Q23. Trailing twelve-month (\"TTM\") net loss, gross profit and revenue were RMB (17,394) million, RMB 3,859 million and RMB 50,034 million, respectively. This comes from RMB (4,740) million + RMB (14,437) million - RMB (1,783) million, RMB 162 million + RMB 5,144 million - RMB 1,447 million and RMB 10,676 million + RMB 49,269 million - RMB 9,911 million, respectively. This TTM revenue figure is equivalent to about $7 billion and it's hard to say what NIO is worth given the net losses and the volatility of the gross profit. Additionally, JAC does the manufacturing for NIO so some of the economics are obfuscated. Finally, the viability of the battery as a service (\"BaaS\") business is hard to predict.The 1Q23 announcement uses 1,649,309,669 as the weighted average number of ordinary shares. Also, the 2022 annual report shows 1,719,105,680 shares outstanding as of December 31st made up of 1,570,605,680 Class A plus 148,500,000 Class C. Multiplying this by the June 16th share price of $9.40 gives us a market cap in excess of $16 billion.I view NIO as a hold for now seeing as there are a large number of uncertainties that complicate the picture with respect to buying or selling.Forward-looking investors should check the updates from the annual general meeting on June 26th.This article is written by Eric Sprague for reference only.

But the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is on track to open doors that allow new members to join this exclusive club. If you&#39;re looking for worthwhile investment opportunities in mega-cap companies with promising AI opportunities, read on to see why <strong>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing</strong> and <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a></strong> both have strong odds of crossing the $1 trillion-valuation threshold by 2030.</p><h2>Making the chips that push AI forward</h2><p><strong>Keith Noonan: </strong>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, also known as &#34;TSMC,&#34; is a pure-play chip fabrication business. The company has built its specialized empire on top-tier fab capabilities, dependability, and trustworthiness -- and it will likely remain the preferred manufacturing partner for most high-end semiconductor designers for many years to come.</p><p>Based on recent estimates, TSMC was capturing approximately 58.5% of the global contract semiconductor fabrication market at the beginning of 2023. When it comes to the kind of high-performance chips that are used for artificial intelligence, intensive cloud computing, and graphics processing, its share is even more impressive, coming in at more than 90% of the global market.</p><p>TSMC&#39;s leading position in the fab space has it positioned to benefit from surging demand for AI-related chips. Consider that <strong>Nvidia</strong>&#39;s stock exploded recently after the company released guidance for huge growth in AI and data center revenue, and it&#39;s a key TSMC customer. For a hardware-oriented business, the Taiwan-based fabrication specialist also posts fantastic margins.</p><p>Last quarter TSMC recorded a gross margin of 56.3%, an operating income margin of 45.5%, and a net profit margin of 40.7%. While the company&#39;s business is subject to cyclical trends, the likelihood that it will enjoy significant demand tailwinds for advanced chips needed for AI applications suggests there&#39;s actually a good chance its margins will come in significantly above those already very strong levels. </p><p>Still down 27% from its all-time high, TSMC is now valued at roughly $535 million. With strong market positioning and demand catalysts related to AI now ramping up, the chip manufacturer has a clear path to hitting a $1 trillion valuation before this decade is out.</p><h2>AI could help Meta Platforms keep people&#39;s attention</h2><p><strong>Parkev Tatevosian:</strong> When you think of artificial intelligence, Meta Platforms may not be the first stock that comes to mind. Instead, Meta is known more as a social media company with billions of active users. That said, Meta is one of the companies that stands to gain the most from the rise of artificial intelligence. And with a market capitalization of $671 billion, it would not surprise me to see Meta Platform exceed a $1 trillion valuation by 2030.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/77f5548b9d274bf08ae6e6286b6d41fa\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\"/></p><p>META Market Cap data by YCharts</p><p>How will Meta Platforms benefit from AI? Primarily by improving the experience for the billions of active users of its apps, including Facebook and Instagram. Similar to how AI can effectively pick a song you might like after recognizing a pattern in previous songs you liked, Meta can use AI to highlight social media posts that interest you. As you may already know, Meta Platforms generates its money from advertising. The more you engage with the app, the more opportunity to show ads.</p><p>In the previous decade, Meta Platforms&#39; revenue exploded from $7.9 billion to $117 billion. If Meta can effectively utilize AI to make the apps more engaging, it could deliver excellent, although perhaps not as prolific, growth over the next ten years. More importantly, Meta&#39;s business is highly profitable, with an operating profit margin of 25% in 2022. For that reason, I think Meta Platforms will be one top AI stock that could be worth more than $1 trillion by 2030.</p><h2>These companies could join the trillion-dollar club</h2><p>It&#39;s not a stretch to think that TSMC and Meta could earn trillion-dollar club membership cards by 2030. TSMC&#39;s market cap was previously as high as $730 billion, and Meta Platforms actually briefly had a valuation above the $1 trillion level.</p><p>Both of these companies continue to enjoy leading positions in their respective industries, and both look poised to benefit from some powerful AI-related tailwinds. If their respective artificial-intelligence initiatives pay off and the market enjoys some strong bullish stretches, it actually wouldn&#39;t be shocking to see either company with a market cap significantly above $1 trillion by the time 2030 rolls around.</p></body></html>","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>Prediction: 2 Top AI Growth Stocks That Will Be Worth More Than $1 Trillion by 2030</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\">\nPrediction: 2 Top AI Growth Stocks That Will Be Worth More Than $1 Trillion by 2030\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-06-02 23:22 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/06/01/prediction-2-top-ai-growth-stocks-that-will-be-wor/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Today, only five companies have market capitalizations above the $1 trillion market -- Apple, Microsoft, Saudi Aramco, Alphabet, and Amazon.

The company has built its specialized empire on top-tier fab capabilities, dependability, and trustworthiness -- and it will likely remain the preferred manufacturing partner for most high-end semiconductor designers for many years to come.Based on recent estimates, TSMC was capturing approximately 58.5% of the global contract semiconductor fabrication market at the beginning of 2023. When it comes to the kind of high-performance chips that are used for artificial intelligence, intensive cloud computing, and graphics processing, its share is even more impressive, coming in at more than 90% of the global market.TSMC's leading position in the fab space has it positioned to benefit from surging demand for AI-related chips. Consider that Nvidia's stock exploded recently after the company released guidance for huge growth in AI and data center revenue, and it's a key TSMC customer. For a hardware-oriented business, the Taiwan-based fabrication specialist also posts fantastic margins.Last quarter TSMC recorded a gross margin of 56.3%, an operating income margin of 45.5%, and a net profit margin of 40.7%. While the company's business is subject to cyclical trends, the likelihood that it will enjoy significant demand tailwinds for advanced chips needed for AI applications suggests there's actually a good chance its margins will come in significantly above those already very strong levels. Still down 27% from its all-time high, TSMC is now valued at roughly $535 million. With strong market positioning and demand catalysts related to AI now ramping up, the chip manufacturer has a clear path to hitting a $1 trillion valuation before this decade is out.AI could help Meta Platforms keep people's attentionParkev Tatevosian: When you think of artificial intelligence, Meta Platforms may not be the first stock that comes to mind. Instead, Meta is known more as a social media company with billions of active users. That said, Meta is one of the companies that stands to gain the most from the rise of artificial intelligence. And with a market capitalization of $671 billion, it would not surprise me to see Meta Platform exceed a $1 trillion valuation by 2030.META Market Cap data by YChartsHow will Meta Platforms benefit from AI? Primarily by improving the experience for the billions of active users of its apps, including Facebook and Instagram. Similar to how AI can effectively pick a song you might like after recognizing a pattern in previous songs you liked, Meta can use AI to highlight social media posts that interest you. As you may already know, Meta Platforms generates its money from advertising. The more you engage with the app, the more opportunity to show ads.In the previous decade, Meta Platforms' revenue exploded from $7.9 billion to $117 billion. If Meta can effectively utilize AI to make the apps more engaging, it could deliver excellent, although perhaps not as prolific, growth over the next ten years. More importantly, Meta's business is highly profitable, with an operating profit margin of 25% in 2022. For that reason, I think Meta Platforms will be one top AI stock that could be worth more than $1 trillion by 2030.These companies could join the trillion-dollar clubIt's not a stretch to think that TSMC and Meta could earn trillion-dollar club membership cards by 2030. TSMC's market cap was previously as high as $730 billion, and Meta Platforms actually briefly had a valuation above the $1 trillion level.Both of these companies continue to enjoy leading positions in their respective industries, and both look poised to benefit from some powerful AI-related tailwinds. If their respective artificial-intelligence initiatives pay off and the market enjoys some strong bullish stretches, it actually wouldn't be shocking to see either company with a market cap significantly above $1 trillion by the time 2030 rolls around.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":46,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":182207724855312,"gmtCreate":1685493609018,"gmtModify":1685493612791,"author":{"id":"3576401458285275","authorId":"3576401458285275","name":"Huitai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be4eb3604e496ba474ae6df683a3ed25","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Keep up the good work","listText":"Keep up the good work","text":"Keep up the good work","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/182207724855312","repostId":"1156376926","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1156376926","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1685454010,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1156376926?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-05-30 21:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tiger Brokers Surged 18% in Morning Trading After Posting Solid Q1 Results","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1156376926","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Tiger Brokers surged 18% in morning trading.The company's revenue stood at US$66.33 million during t","content":"<html><head></head><body><p> <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TIGR\">Tiger Brokers</a> surged 18% in morning trading.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4d871371eed56b0d351480e6970f978b\" tg-width=\"920\" tg-height=\"611\"/></p><p>The company&#39;s revenue stood at US$66.33 million during the period, up 26.0% year-over-year (YoY).

(NASDAQ:TSLA) and the 4th neutral one. In my opinion, the stock has experienced a textbook overreaction, as the valuation of the company, previously considered too high, no longer seems so, even if wefocus only on free cash flows and their realistic projections. I try to incorporate some conservative assumptions into a DCF model and come up with a fair value of about $98.5 per share - it seems to me that once the price falls below this level, GARP investors might consider gradually building a position in the stock.</p><h2>Tesla&#39;s Price Action: Causes &amp; Consequences</h2><p>Like the rest of the market at the time, Tesla stock began to experience growth problems in early November 2021 when, after rising nearly 60% just 1 month before, it began a sharp decline that was followed by bouts of recovery but eventually marked the beginning of a long-term downtrend that continues to this day.</p><p>The descending channel on the way down formed exciting entry points for TSLA to rally, but selling pressure was so intense that the stock could not resist and continued to update its local lows. As a result, TSLA has fallen &gt;74% from its November 2021 peak and is currently trading about 56% below its 200-day simple moving average:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8a28b85e5767a6de072aa2489bc31101\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>TrendSpider, TSLA, author&#39;s notes</span></p><p>One of the biggest problems for the company at the start of its downward trajectory was valuation - recall that Tesla was trading at 160 times and 360 times TTM-based EV/EBITDA and price-to-earnings ratios, respectively, in November 2021:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/23ba164f5855603b1dd81c83fba25e8c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"484\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>YCharts, TSLA, author&#39;s notes</span></p><p>The multiple contraction - at least based on the above 3 TTM-based metrics - was about 86.3%, which is too sharp a decline for a simple adjustment based on an interest rate hike. And if we look at the forward ratios, then the multiple contraction in some places reaches ~94%:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d5b1684ab867b6d7326ee0f804a94ab5\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>To give you an idea of the extent of today&#39;s multiple contraction - during the COVID-19 era, EV/EBITDA ratio bottomed out at about 18-20x, while the 1-year forward ratio is now ~13x.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f45de9e952829689c0fd6dcf9f437fdf\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"421\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>YCharts, TSLA, author&#39;s notes</span></p><p>There must be a good reason for such a sharp decline - TSLA has several such reasons at once, and all of them are recent. However, the decline has also accelerated relatively recently - the stock lost &gt;36% over the past month.</p><p><i>The first</i> and perhaps most important reason for the fall is Elon Musk&#39;s refusal to step down as CEO of Twitter until he finds a worthy successor for the role. Tesla investors were [and presumably still are] concerned that the search will drag on and Musk will lose control of his main asset.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b701128d668ffb0d1438291dc6b398e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"212\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Seeking Alpha News, author&#39;s notes</span></p><p><i>The second</i> news item is huge selling volumes from Musk, who mercilessly sold his shares in large portions in early November and December:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/434305643aa50e6a7652c28035f50323\" tg-width=\"340\" tg-height=\"567\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>TrendSpider, TSLA&#39;s Insiders, author&#39;s notes</span></p><p><i>The third</i> piece of news is the introduction of a new hiring freeze and further layoffs through 2023 (presumably Q1), as Electrek writes, citing &#34;a reliable source familiar with the matter.&#34;</p><p><i>The fourth piece</i> of news is thehalt of productionin Shanghai, which in 2021 accounted for 51.7% of Tesla&#39;s global production capacity. While the company did not specify a reason for the production halt, Reuters previously reported that the suspension of Model Y assembly at the Shanghai plant at the end of the month would be part of a 30% reduction in planned production for the model in December. Additionally, sources have noted that employees at Tesla&#39;s Gigafactory in Shanghai and supplier plants have been falling ill due to a recent outbreak of COVID cases in the area.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/19eb26f1096b415c5a4694ddade53ced\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"200\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Seeking Alpha News, author&#39;s notes</span></p><p><i>The fifth piece</i> of news is the record deliveries in Q4 2022 that the company announced a few days ago, which unfortunately for TSLA investors did not meet consensus estimates.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3acf215e76cf3a376b3eb5ad27020e42\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"272\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Seeking Alpha News, author&#39;s notes</span></p><p><i>The sixth</i> <i>piece</i> of news was an addition to the 4th one - the company was forced to cut prices of its Model Y and Model 3 in China for the second time in less than three months.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a9bbae14d732bd0d60387c76beb4539\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"196\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Seeking Alpha News, author&#39;s notes</span></p><p>So all this news has created a kind of perfect storm that has led to an unprecedented multiple contraction discussed above.</p><p>Analysts at some investment banks have added fuel to the fire by massively lowering their price targets after the share price plunge - you know, previous recommendations of $200-250 per share would have assumed 77-87% growth in the stock over the next 12 months, which seems too generous and not permissible for the sell side.</p><p>One of the most significant downgrades, in my opinion, was made by analysts Ryan Brinkman,Rajat Gupta, CFA, Manasvi Garg, et al. of J.P. Morgan. Their valuation calculations and general reasoning seemed the most realistic to me [compared say to BofA and Goldman Sachs] back in October 2022. This time I think the bank&#39;s updated report deserves our attention, just like last time.</p><h2>JPMorgan&#39;s New $125 Target Price - Assumptions And Reality Check</h2><p>It is worth noting that, unlike the Street consensus, JPMorgan analysts expected Tesla to deliver significantly less in Q4 2022, so the company actually slightly outperformed the bank&#39;s internal forecasts by +4%. Citing multiple price cuts in China during the quarter and the $7,500 discount in the U.S. at the end of Q4, JPMorgan lowered its price target from $150 per share [October 2022] to $125 per share as of Jan. 3, 2023:</p><blockquote>4Q deliveries exceeded the 388,500 we had modeled by +4%. However, this modest beat to our deliveries estimate and modest miss to consensus appears to have come at the cost of atypically high discounting (for example, a $7,500 discount in the US late in 4Q more reminiscent of traditional automakers trading at substantially lower earnings multiples, and multiple price cuts in China throughout the quarter). We are lowering our 4Q EPS estimate from $1.19 prior — flowing only the +4% volume beat through our model would have implied EPS of $1.28, although, with the ratcheting down of pricing and margin expectations, we now forecast $1.16.</blockquote><blockquote>Source: JPMorgan on TSLA, January 3, 2023</blockquote><p>It&#39;s interesting to look at the assumptions the bank used in valuing Tesla. They assume that annual sales growth (while remaining impressive overall) is likely to decline every year from now on (they forecast +26% growth in FY2023, +24% in FY2024, and +20% in FY2025), even in the face of growing competition. Tesla&#39;s last model refresh (the updated S &amp; X) dates to spring 2021, and many competing models have entered the market since then. Investors&#39; forecasts for +50% annual growth have been helped by the fact that demand has so far outstripped supply. However, with significant capacity coming online in 2023 as a whole compared to 2022 (annual installed run-rate capacity according to 3Q22 shareholder letter of &gt; 1.9M as Austin and Berlin ramp compared to deliveries of 1.3M. in 2022), supply in FY2023 is unlikely to be the limiting factor on Tesla&#39;s deliveries that it has been in prior years, so a significant miss on deliveries relative to expectations could be particularly damaging to investors&#39; long-term expectations. As a result, analysts have significantly lowered their EPS estimates: FY2023 to $4.60 from $4.84, FY2024 to $5.15 from $5.35, and FY2025 to $5.55 from $5.65.</p><p>The new price target of $125 per share is predicated upon a 50/50 blend of DCF and 2025E-based multiples analysis (itself a blend of P/E, EV/EBITDA, and price-to-sales). To help you better understand the entire reasoning behind JPM&#39;s model, I have summarized the various parts of the model in one image:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/58d337bc7188a17b2eeb4fe14ac90428\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"381\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>JPMorgan&#39;s valuation model for Tesla, author&#39;s compilation with notes</span></p><p>The multiple-based analysis consists largely of comparing Tesla by 5 categories:</p><ul><li><i>Disruptive Technology</i>: Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOGL);</li><li><i>Clean Technology</i>: First Solar (FSLR), SunPower (SPWR);</li><li><i>Auto Tech / Innovation</i>: BorgWarner (BWA), Gentex (GNTX);</li><li><i>Luxury Automakers</i>: BMW (OTCPK:BMWYY), Mercedes (OTCPK:MBGAF);</li><li><i>High-Growth Automakers</i>: BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF), Great Wall (OTCPK:GWLLF), and SAIC Motor.</li></ul><p>As you can see, JPM did not include classic American manufacturers such as Ford (F) or General Motors (GM) in this list, which is unacceptable in my opinion - after all, the end market for them is almost the same. It seems to me that if the 6th category were included in the above list, the implied value for the entire segment would be somewhat less than the $148 per share we see now. So the DCF-based projections are a much more reliable metric, in my opinion.</p><p>I propose to independently build a DCF model to value TSLA stock -<i>how realistic is the current price in terms of its &#34;intrinsic value&#34;?</i></p><h2>DCF Based On My Reality</h2><p>I write &#34;<i>My Reality</i>&#34; because some of the assumptions I will take as a basis will most likely not coincide with yours - this is perfectly normal, I suggest discussing our contradictions in the comments section.</p><p>JPM has projected a gradual decline in revenue growth from +26% to +20% in the last projected year (FY25) - I want to be even more conservative here and assume that revenue will grow at a rate of 20% from FY23 to FY25, and by only 15% in FY26. Also, I expect the EBITDA margin to drop to 8% in FY23 (TTM EBITDA margin now = 21.65%) and EBIT margin to be negative -50 bps due to increased expenses (TTM EBIT margin now = 16.83%). So, I try to take into account the whole cascade of negative news I described at the very beginning of this article in the model.

(NASDAQ:TSLA) and the 4th neutral one. In my opinion, the stock has experienced a textbook overreaction, as the valuation of the company, previously considered too high, no longer seems so, even if wefocus only on free cash flows and their realistic projections. I try to incorporate some conservative assumptions into a DCF model and come up with a fair value of about $98.5 per share - it seems to me that once the price falls below this level, GARP investors might consider gradually building a position in the stock.Tesla's Price Action: Causes & ConsequencesLike the rest of the market at the time, Tesla stock began to experience growth problems in early November 2021 when, after rising nearly 60% just 1 month before, it began a sharp decline that was followed by bouts of recovery but eventually marked the beginning of a long-term downtrend that continues to this day.The descending channel on the way down formed exciting entry points for TSLA to rally, but selling pressure was so intense that the stock could not resist and continued to update its local lows. As a result, TSLA has fallen >74% from its November 2021 peak and is currently trading about 56% below its 200-day simple moving average:TrendSpider, TSLA, author's notesOne of the biggest problems for the company at the start of its downward trajectory was valuation - recall that Tesla was trading at 160 times and 360 times TTM-based EV/EBITDA and price-to-earnings ratios, respectively, in November 2021:YCharts, TSLA, author's notesThe multiple contraction - at least based on the above 3 TTM-based metrics - was about 86.3%, which is too sharp a decline for a simple adjustment based on an interest rate hike. And if we look at the forward ratios, then the multiple contraction in some places reaches ~94%:Data by YChartsTo give you an idea of the extent of today's multiple contraction - during the COVID-19 era, EV/EBITDA ratio bottomed out at about 18-20x, while the 1-year forward ratio is now ~13x.YCharts, TSLA, author's notesThere must be a good reason for such a sharp decline - TSLA has several such reasons at once, and all of them are recent. However, the decline has also accelerated relatively recently - the stock lost >36% over the past month.The first and perhaps most important reason for the fall is Elon Musk's refusal to step down as CEO of Twitter until he finds a worthy successor for the role. Tesla investors were [and presumably still are] concerned that the search will drag on and Musk will lose control of his main asset.Seeking Alpha News, author's notesThe second news item is huge selling volumes from Musk, who mercilessly sold his shares in large portions in early November and December:TrendSpider, TSLA's Insiders, author's notesThe third piece of news is the introduction of a new hiring freeze and further layoffs through 2023 (presumably Q1), as Electrek writes, citing \"a reliable source familiar with the matter.\"The fourth piece of news is thehalt of productionin Shanghai, which in 2021 accounted for 51.7% of Tesla's global production capacity. While the company did not specify a reason for the production halt, Reuters previously reported that the suspension of Model Y assembly at the Shanghai plant at the end of the month would be part of a 30% reduction in planned production for the model in December. Additionally, sources have noted that employees at Tesla's Gigafactory in Shanghai and supplier plants have been falling ill due to a recent outbreak of COVID cases in the area.Seeking Alpha News, author's notesThe fifth piece of news is the record deliveries in Q4 2022 that the company announced a few days ago, which unfortunately for TSLA investors did not meet consensus estimates.Seeking Alpha News, author's notesThe sixth piece of news was an addition to the 4th one - the company was forced to cut prices of its Model Y and Model 3 in China for the second time in less than three months.Seeking Alpha News, author's notesSo all this news has created a kind of perfect storm that has led to an unprecedented multiple contraction discussed above.Analysts at some investment banks have added fuel to the fire by massively lowering their price targets after the share price plunge - you know, previous recommendations of $200-250 per share would have assumed 77-87% growth in the stock over the next 12 months, which seems too generous and not permissible for the sell side.One of the most significant downgrades, in my opinion, was made by analysts Ryan Brinkman,Rajat Gupta, CFA, Manasvi Garg, et al. of J.P. Morgan. Their valuation calculations and general reasoning seemed the most realistic to me [compared say to BofA and Goldman Sachs] back in October 2022. This time I think the bank's updated report deserves our attention, just like last time.JPMorgan's New $125 Target Price - Assumptions And Reality CheckIt is worth noting that, unlike the Street consensus, JPMorgan analysts expected Tesla to deliver significantly less in Q4 2022, so the company actually slightly outperformed the bank's internal forecasts by +4%. Citing multiple price cuts in China during the quarter and the $7,500 discount in the U.S. at the end of Q4, JPMorgan lowered its price target from $150 per share [October 2022] to $125 per share as of Jan. 3, 2023:4Q deliveries exceeded the 388,500 we had modeled by +4%. However, this modest beat to our deliveries estimate and modest miss to consensus appears to have come at the cost of atypically high discounting (for example, a $7,500 discount in the US late in 4Q more reminiscent of traditional automakers trading at substantially lower earnings multiples, and multiple price cuts in China throughout the quarter). We are lowering our 4Q EPS estimate from $1.19 prior — flowing only the +4% volume beat through our model would have implied EPS of $1.28, although, with the ratcheting down of pricing and margin expectations, we now forecast $1.16.Source: JPMorgan on TSLA, January 3, 2023It's interesting to look at the assumptions the bank used in valuing Tesla. They assume that annual sales growth (while remaining impressive overall) is likely to decline every year from now on (they forecast +26% growth in FY2023, +24% in FY2024, and +20% in FY2025), even in the face of growing competition. Tesla's last model refresh (the updated S & X) dates to spring 2021, and many competing models have entered the market since then. Investors' forecasts for +50% annual growth have been helped by the fact that demand has so far outstripped supply. However, with significant capacity coming online in 2023 as a whole compared to 2022 (annual installed run-rate capacity according to 3Q22 shareholder letter of > 1.9M as Austin and Berlin ramp compared to deliveries of 1.3M. in 2022), supply in FY2023 is unlikely to be the limiting factor on Tesla's deliveries that it has been in prior years, so a significant miss on deliveries relative to expectations could be particularly damaging to investors' long-term expectations. As a result, analysts have significantly lowered their EPS estimates: FY2023 to $4.60 from $4.84, FY2024 to $5.15 from $5.35, and FY2025 to $5.55 from $5.65.The new price target of $125 per share is predicated upon a 50/50 blend of DCF and 2025E-based multiples analysis (itself a blend of P/E, EV/EBITDA, and price-to-sales). To help you better understand the entire reasoning behind JPM's model, I have summarized the various parts of the model in one image:JPMorgan's valuation model for Tesla, author's compilation with notesThe multiple-based analysis consists largely of comparing Tesla by 5 categories:Disruptive Technology: Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOGL);Clean Technology: First Solar (FSLR), SunPower (SPWR);Auto Tech / Innovation: BorgWarner (BWA), Gentex (GNTX);Luxury Automakers: BMW (OTCPK:BMWYY), Mercedes (OTCPK:MBGAF);High-Growth Automakers: BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF), Great Wall (OTCPK:GWLLF), and SAIC Motor.As you can see, JPM did not include classic American manufacturers such as Ford (F) or General Motors (GM) in this list, which is unacceptable in my opinion - after all, the end market for them is almost the same. It seems to me that if the 6th category were included in the above list, the implied value for the entire segment would be somewhat less than the $148 per share we see now. So the DCF-based projections are a much more reliable metric, in my opinion.I propose to independently build a DCF model to value TSLA stock -how realistic is the current price in terms of its \"intrinsic value\"?DCF Based On My RealityI write \"My Reality\" because some of the assumptions I will take as a basis will most likely not coincide with yours - this is perfectly normal, I suggest discussing our contradictions in the comments section.JPM has projected a gradual decline in revenue growth from +26% to +20% in the last projected year (FY25) - I want to be even more conservative here and assume that revenue will grow at a rate of 20% from FY23 to FY25, and by only 15% in FY26. Also, I expect the EBITDA margin to drop to 8% in FY23 (TTM EBITDA margin now = 21.65%) and EBIT margin to be negative -50 bps due to increased expenses (TTM EBIT margin now = 16.83%). So, I try to take into account the whole cascade of negative news I described at the very beginning of this article in the model. I also want to take into account the rather high risk of a recession somewhere in the middle of 2023, which I have mentioned repeatedly in my articles.D&A as a percentage of total revenue is expected to remain constant at 7.5% throughout the forecast period, although this percentage has declined rapidly in recent years - I expect D&A non-cash costs to return to 2018-2019 levels as the asset base increases.The working capital ratios - receivables to sales, inventories to sales, payables to sales - look fairly consistent and can be easily extrapolated for several years into the future without major changes [focus on averages]. The ratio of CAPEX to sales is one of the most important inputs, as this assumption strongly influences FCF generation. In the past, this ratio was quite variable. However, as Tesla scaled its operations, the ratio of this metric systematically decreased:Data by YChartsIn the event of a recession in 2023, I expect CAPEX-to-revenue to fall even further - to 7%. In 2024, it will grow again (8%) and gradually reach 9% in FY26 as production continues to expand.stratosphere.io, author's inputsThe WACC of TSLA calculated by JPM at 12.3% is significantly more plausible than the WACC of Morgan Stanley at 9%.I calculate my WACC based on the CAPM model:beta = 1.9;cost of debt = 8%;tax rate = 15%;risk-free rate = 3.6%;cost of equity = 4.7%So my WACC is only 0.3% higher than JPM's - 12.6%. In my opinion, this is a very reasonable discount rate for the risk investors take in buying Tesla shares.The only point where my model differs fundamentally from the JPM model is the long-term growth rate, in place of which I will use the EV/EBITDA exit multiple. Why?Because if I take the same 10% long-term growth rate and lower it slightly, say to 9.5%, then my bottom line - TSLA's intrinsic share price - will drop almost 19%. In my opinion, this kind of sensitivity is unacceptable - it's much more reasonable to imagine what exit multiple Tesla might be trading at in a few years. In terms of EV/EBITDA, it's 13x today. Let us assume that despite the obvious market overreaction, TSLA's EV/EBITDA ratio does not rise [but does not fall much either] - 12x seems like a reasonable assumption to me.So what is the result of all the above?Source: Author's calculationsMy model turned out to be very independent of how the WACC changes - that's not quite correct, but it's better than having it change 180 degrees after every little fluctuation in inputs.Sensitivity table for author's DCFThe Verdict For Tesla StockNo one knows exactly when the downward slide of Tesla stock will end. However, one thing seems clear to me - TSLA's 43% drop in just 2 last months looks like a textbook stock market overreaction against a backdrop of plenty of negative news and a lack of positive news for the company.At the end of December, I assumed that TSLA would experience a strong rebound (then from a level of ~$120 per share) after Elon Musk announced that he would not sell his shares for another 1-2 years. And this one positive news would most likely be enough if no new negative news came. However, now the stock is quickly approaching its fair value, which can be achieved even based on very conservative assumptions.I calculated that Tesla's fair value is about 13% below current levels. So investors looking for growth at a good price should start taking TSLA positions as soon as the next sell-off develops.Since my fair price is lower than the current one and the market is moving very fast, I leave my rating Neutral in the hope that TSLA will slide into undervaluation relatively soon.This article is written by Danil Sereda for reference only.

From being an online ride-booking app, it has expanded into food and item delivery, grocery purchasing, and even hotel booking. It has gone a long way and doesn’t indicate a weakening performance. Instead, it continues to improve, as shown by its impressive revenue growth. Its income is still negative, but improvements are evident. Even better, it has a solid financial positioning that allows it to cover its expansion and borrowings. Indeed, it is an exciting company that exudes growth and sustainability despite tight competition and economic volatility. Likewise, the stock price is promising, and even if valuations are not as towering as they were in its SPAC, growth prospects are enticing.</p><h3>Company Performance</h3><p>Since its foundation, Grab Holdings Limited has proven its capacity to grow and expand. Initially a ride-booking app, it was able to penetrate more niches over the years. In the last two years, it has flourished as growth avenues broadened. The company has been and will always be a staple for billions of households in Southeast Asia. And even if restrictions ease, customers still turn to Grab as a convenient and efficient way to travel and receive food and other items.</p><p>In 3Q 2022, its operating revenue amounted to $382 million, more than thrice as much as it was in 4Q 2021. Indeed, it continues to show its capacity to sustain growth despite reopening businesses and lifting health protocols. The pandemic fears continue to subside, but Grab remains a vital app for many customers. In fact, its average monthly transacting users (MTUs) reached 33 million, a 26% year-over-year growth. It shows increased demand for its services in a changing market landscape. Indeed, Grab has successfully normalized its demand despite its fierce competition across different niches. It is most evident in food delivery and online ride booking. These further highlight the solid customer base of Grab. Its core strengths are its popularity, massive expansion, and partnerships with numerous restaurants, QSRs, hotels, cars, and taxis. Also, its importance amidst shaky commuting and dining protocols has become more apparent. Lastly, its acquisition of Uber in the region became pivotal to its humongous growth. It captured more customers, monopolizing the car and taxi booking niche.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a241fe6e9185cb6590b274e2dfecbfff\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Even more, Grab continues to show its ability to balance growth and viability. As we can see, operating losses dramatically decreased in only a year. Operating margin dropped from -430% to -70%, thanks to its practical focus on cost structure and incentives. It is even more impressive since inflation-adjusted foreign currency translation remains unfavorable. In addition, it continues to innovate its services, improving its efficiency further, raising user engagement, and synergizing services. Its focus on cost optimization may allow it to reach its revenue and margin expansion expectations.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7b68a7b9950760f18b60ed61caadbbdc\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Operating Margin (MarketWatch)</p><h3>Market Risks And Opportunities</h3><p>In the face of economic volatility, Grab is also susceptible to risks. Prices are higher, raising its operating costs and expenses. It is most evident in its marketing and research expenses. Impairments are also higher as interest rate hikes affect the valuation of its financial assets. Another risk it must consider is the fierce competition among digital apps in Southeast Asia. Although Grab remains a giant, smaller apps are entering the market. The company must widen its gap and highlight service differentiation. Despite this, more opportunities are evident in the market. Restrictions are easing, but booking a taxi or a car has become more convenient. Commuters remain unfazed despite the rising fares due to oil and fuel price increases. Food deliveries have become more convenient and cheaper than commuting to restaurants and supermarkets. It is most evident in Singapore, with 58% showing a preference for food delivery.</p><p>Aside from convenience, cashless transactions remain one of the primary driving forces. Its three markets in Southeast Asia experienced a substantial drop in cash transactions. In Singapore, cash transactions fell from 59% to 39%. Today, it is already higher at 48%, which we can attribute to business reopenings. But the thing is, cash transactions never went back to pre-pandemic levels. Although cash is still king, payment apps continue to revolutionize in the advent of digital transformation. Mobile wallets, credit cards, and debit cards will dominate financial transactions as more businesses go online. Grab remains the primary mobile wallet in the country, with a market share of 35%. It maintains a wide gap from runners-up Favepay with 24%, DBS Paylah! With 19%, and Singtel Dash with 10%. It is also popular in Malaysia, holding 20% of the total market share. In the Philippines and Thailand, percentages are relatively lower. We can attribute it to the increased number of mobile wallets and the higher number of unbanked individuals. Grab may still have to scale up to compete with other payment apps in other countries.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b1e043221d6879a8c4affeca51c4acfa\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dd4932fb4383647336091a0277cc236e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>But regarding food deliveries, Grab is the absolute king in Southeast Asia. In Singapore, Grab has an impeccable usage percentage of 76% among the population. Yet, it must be active as it sees tight competition with Food Panda, especially in the Philippines and Malaysia. In Indonesia, it ranks second with a user percentage of 78% versus GoPay with 79%. Although Grabpay is shunned in Indonesia, its food delivery segment is one of its staples. A similar observation is visible in Vietnam, as it holds 64% of the market for food delivery. Grab has the most appeal as a food delivery app, with the vast majority of the market share. Likewise, its online ride-booking niche makes it a formidable champion with a data sensitivity index of 114. It has a vast difference from the second-highest app, with only 81. In all its features, Grab remains the most responsive.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2bb5cc5392b074bd5e70404310bc9daa\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Percentage Of Food Delivery Usage (Statista)</p><p>What sets Grab apart from many of its competitors is its massive financials. Aside from its improving performance, it has solid and intact fundamentals. Its financial positioning is one of its cornerstones amidst the tight competition and economic disruptions. It has adequate cash levels of over $2.45 billion, although it is way lower than in 4Q 2021. It comprises 24% of the total assets, making it a very liquid company. It will amount to $6.5 billion or 66% of the total assets if we include its liquid investments. Even more, it can cover all its liabilities even in a single payment. It also shows stable financial leverage, which is favorable for the company amidst interest rate hikes. Meanwhile, its cash inflows from operations remain a negative value, but the improvement is visible. It is also consistent with improving viability.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/945d788ed5ad9040bf752214ab894b8c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/945d788ed5ad9040bf752214ab894b8c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Grab continues to leverage its popularity and excellent fundamentals to achieve its goals. But other external factors can drive its growth some more. Online food deliveries, cab bookings, and cashless transactions may increase as remote work setups prevail in Southeast Asia. A recent survey shows that over 50% of workers prefer a remote setup. Over 30% prefer hybrid setups, and less than 10% want a complete onsite work setup. Likewise, online cab bookings are essential as traffic congestion continues to intensify. Many studies show an increased preference for riding private cars and taxis than boarding a train or a bus. Also, mobility demand has yet to reach its maximum, as its driver-partners are only 80% of 4Q 2019 numbers. Its potential may materialize in the succeeding years as the environment becomes more stable.</p><h3>Stock Price Assessment</h3><p>The stock price has had a slight uptrend in the last month, which is reasonable. It is still insufficient as the bearish trend remains evident. At $3.1, it is less than half its starting price. Even if valuations do not appear as towering as it was in its SPAC, growth prospects are enticing. It has massive room for an uptrend as its expansion and increased viability continue. With its performance and potential opportunities, it may reach or even exceed its guidance. To assess the stock price better, we will use the DCF Model. Right now, it is still quite tricky to find the most precise valuation of the company. As it expands and innovates, it continues to burn cash. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to raise its borrowings. It has well-balanced borrowings and equity, an added security to its shareholders. It is still trading at an EV/Revenue multiple of 7.4x, which is still quite high. But if we plot it to its outlook this year, it will decrease to 5.7-5.8x, which is a better value. I expect it to incur losses still as it adjusts, but it may start to generate more inflows in the following years. Grab Holdings is a good bargain. If we adjust the stock price based on our projected EV/Revenue multiple, it may increase to $4.3-4.5, a 29-30% upside in the next twelve months.</p><h3>Bottomline</h3><p>Grab Holdings Limited is a Southeast Asian tiger dominating the market. Its viability goals have yet to materialize, but it is on the right path. Indeed, it has an impressive ability to drive growth while enhancing margins, showing increased efficiency. Even more, it has a stellar balance sheet despite its continued burning of cash. It has excellent liquidity, allowing it to expand while covering its financial leverage. Its move is a logical approach to increased market opportunities as the landscape evolves. It justifies the latest slight uptrend in the stock price, which is an excellent bargain, given its potential. After assessing the risks, opportunities, and core competencies, the recommendation is that Grab Holdings Limited is a strong buy.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Grab Holdings: Keep On Moving, Keep Improving, Keep Expanding</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\">\nGrab Holdings: Keep On Moving, Keep Improving, Keep Expanding\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-12-07 14:02 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4562851-grab-holdings-stock-moving-improving-expanding><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryGrab Holdings Limited enjoys continued revenue growth and margin improvements.Its impressive fundamentals will help it navigate the changing market landscape.It maintains solid liquidity with ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4562851-grab-holdings-stock-moving-improving-expanding\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"GRAB":"Grab Holdings"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4562851-grab-holdings-stock-moving-improving-expanding","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1114079921","content_text":"SummaryGrab Holdings Limited enjoys continued revenue growth and margin improvements.Its impressive fundamentals will help it navigate the changing market landscape.It maintains solid liquidity with high cash levels and stable borrowings.There is fierce competition in South East Asia, but it remains a favorite.The slight stock price uptrend is reasonable.Grab Holdings Limited continues to reign in Southeast Asia.

It also has the potential to be a huge moneymaker for investors who put money ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Artificial intelligence (AI) appears to have real potential to go down as this decade&#39;s most disruptive technology trend. It also has the potential to be a huge moneymaker for investors who put money behind the right companies. Some players in the space have already scored big rallies this year, but there&#39;s an incredible shift underway that&#39;s just heating up.</p><p>With that in mind, read on to see why two Motley Fool contributors identified these two companies as among the best AI stocks to buy right now. </p><h2>1. TSMC is a great pick-and-shovel play in the AI space</h2><p><strong>Keith Noonan: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing</strong>, or TSMC as it&#39;s often called, stands as the far-and-away leader in the semiconductor fabrication space. While tech leaders including <strong>Nvidia</strong>, <strong>Advanced Micro Devices</strong>, <strong>Amazon</strong>, <strong>Apple</strong>, and <strong>Microsoft</strong> are all devoting resources to the development of cutting-edge AI chips, none of these companies have the infrastructure needed to manufacture their own semiconductors. All of these companies turn to TSMC for fabrication services and will likely continue to do so for many years to come. </p><p>Right now, TSMC accounts for roughly 60% of the global contract chip fabrication market. It&#39;s also capturing more than 90% of the contract foundry services market for the fabrication of the kinds of high-end semiconductor designs that are pushing the AI revolution forward. </p><p>Demand for AI-related semiconductor fabrication is already picking up. Orders from Nvidia pushed the utilization of TSMC&#39;s 5-nanometer chip transistor production capacity to between 70% and 80% -- up from roughly 50% before the order surge. Demand from Nvidia will almost certainly remain high, and orders from other big tech players will likely start pouring in, as well. </p><p>Even after rallying roughly 37% year to date, TSMC still trades at a reasonable 20x this year&#39;s expected earnings. Looking a bit further ahead, the company is valued at around 16x next year&#39;s expected profits. </p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/00df44ecfca6132e8bd2e231bdd445eb\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\"/></p><p>TSM PE Ratio (Forward 1y) data by YCharts.</p><p>Despite surging demand for AI chips, the global semiconductor market is expected to see a relatively small cyclical contraction this year. But AI trends and rebounding demand in other categories are expected to spur a return to growth next year.</p><p>With TSMC set to benefit from some powerful demand tailwinds, the stock stands out as a smart pick-and-shovel bet on the unfolding AI revolution. </p><h2>2. Alphabet&#39;s products are better with AI</h2><p><strong>Parkev Tatevosian:</strong> With the expanded interest in AI, management for just about every company operating in this space is emphasizing how their companies will benefit from the rising effectiveness of AI. That said, the number of companies that will <em>actually</em> benefit from AI is a much more selective set. One AI stock in this latter group is <strong>Alphabet</strong>. </p><p>Alphabet has two primary revenue engines at the moment, Google Search and YouTube. Each has already shown it can enhance the value it offers both users and advertisers in how it already implements AI. For instance, YouTube uses AI to generate its list of recommended videos it thinks you&#39;ll likely want to watch. YouTube, of course, makes most of its money showing advertisements to users engaged on the platform. The better it is at getting you to watch more of them, the more revenue it can generate. Similarly, Google Search uses AI to find results from your search queries it thinks best fit your needs. The powerful search engine also makes money from advertising. Users who are satisfied with the search query results will likely return more often. </p><p>But Alphabet is not just Google and YouTube and its exploration of how it can put AI to use doesn&#39;t stop there. Alphabet is incorporating AI technologies and machine learning into Google Cloud to offer its customers more sophisticated and personalized services. It&#39;s using AI to provide enhanced security and threat detection, which is increasingly important as businesses face more advanced cyber threats. Its Waymo autonomous vehicles are all about using AI to operate vehicles safely and efficiently. Its Verily Life Science division uses AI to analyze large amounts of medical data to develop new treatments and cures for various diseases. In all these cases, AI is integral to its potential for growth.</p><p>Alphabet has already proven it has a lucrative business model. The company&#39;s revenue soared from $56 billion to $283 billion in the last decade. At the same time, its operating income jumped from $15.4 billion to $74.8 billion. As the company continues to use and improve its AI to enhance its efforts, Alphabet&#39;s prospects over the next decade look enticing.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3b16c13b578bef53812d4484ce84b4e3\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\"/></p><p>GOOG PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts.</p><p>Moreover, investors can get Alphabet stock at a reasonable valuation of a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 23. It&#39;s no surprise why Alphabet is one of my favorite AI stocks to buy right now. </p><h2>Don&#39;t underestimate the long-term AI opportunity</h2><p>While some smaller companies will undoubtedly score disruptive wins with artificial intelligence, the resource-intensive nature of the technology category suggests that established tech giants will wind up being AI&#39;s biggest winners.

Even better, both companies are also trading at valuation levels that leave the door open for long-term investors to see very strong returns. </p></body></html>","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>Want to Get Richer? 2 Top AI Stocks to Buy Right Now</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\">\nWant to Get Richer? 2 Top AI Stocks to Buy Right Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-06-30 09:01 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/06/29/want-to-get-richer-2-top-ai-stocks-to-buy-right-no/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) appears to have real potential to go down as this decade's most disruptive technology trend.

It also has the potential to be a huge moneymaker for investors who put money behind the right companies. Some players in the space have already scored big rallies this year, but there's an incredible shift underway that's just heating up.With that in mind, read on to see why two Motley Fool contributors identified these two companies as among the best AI stocks to buy right now. 1. TSMC is a great pick-and-shovel play in the AI spaceKeith Noonan: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, or TSMC as it's often called, stands as the far-and-away leader in the semiconductor fabrication space. While tech leaders including Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft are all devoting resources to the development of cutting-edge AI chips, none of these companies have the infrastructure needed to manufacture their own semiconductors. All of these companies turn to TSMC for fabrication services and will likely continue to do so for many years to come. Right now, TSMC accounts for roughly 60% of the global contract chip fabrication market. It's also capturing more than 90% of the contract foundry services market for the fabrication of the kinds of high-end semiconductor designs that are pushing the AI revolution forward. Demand for AI-related semiconductor fabrication is already picking up. Orders from Nvidia pushed the utilization of TSMC's 5-nanometer chip transistor production capacity to between 70% and 80% -- up from roughly 50% before the order surge. Demand from Nvidia will almost certainly remain high, and orders from other big tech players will likely start pouring in, as well. Even after rallying roughly 37% year to date, TSMC still trades at a reasonable 20x this year's expected earnings. Looking a bit further ahead, the company is valued at around 16x next year's expected profits. TSM PE Ratio (Forward 1y) data by YCharts.Despite surging demand for AI chips, the global semiconductor market is expected to see a relatively small cyclical contraction this year. But AI trends and rebounding demand in other categories are expected to spur a return to growth next year.With TSMC set to benefit from some powerful demand tailwinds, the stock stands out as a smart pick-and-shovel bet on the unfolding AI revolution. 2. Alphabet's products are better with AIParkev Tatevosian: With the expanded interest in AI, management for just about every company operating in this space is emphasizing how their companies will benefit from the rising effectiveness of AI. That said, the number of companies that will actually benefit from AI is a much more selective set. One AI stock in this latter group is Alphabet. Alphabet has two primary revenue engines at the moment, Google Search and YouTube. Each has already shown it can enhance the value it offers both users and advertisers in how it already implements AI. For instance, YouTube uses AI to generate its list of recommended videos it thinks you'll likely want to watch. YouTube, of course, makes most of its money showing advertisements to users engaged on the platform. The better it is at getting you to watch more of them, the more revenue it can generate. Similarly, Google Search uses AI to find results from your search queries it thinks best fit your needs. The powerful search engine also makes money from advertising. Users who are satisfied with the search query results will likely return more often. But Alphabet is not just Google and YouTube and its exploration of how it can put AI to use doesn't stop there. Alphabet is incorporating AI technologies and machine learning into Google Cloud to offer its customers more sophisticated and personalized services. It's using AI to provide enhanced security and threat detection, which is increasingly important as businesses face more advanced cyber threats. Its Waymo autonomous vehicles are all about using AI to operate vehicles safely and efficiently. Its Verily Life Science division uses AI to analyze large amounts of medical data to develop new treatments and cures for various diseases. In all these cases, AI is integral to its potential for growth.Alphabet has already proven it has a lucrative business model. The company's revenue soared from $56 billion to $283 billion in the last decade. At the same time, its operating income jumped from $15.4 billion to $74.8 billion. As the company continues to use and improve its AI to enhance its efforts, Alphabet's prospects over the next decade look enticing.GOOG PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts.Moreover, investors can get Alphabet stock at a reasonable valuation of a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 23. It's no surprise why Alphabet is one of my favorite AI stocks to buy right now. Don't underestimate the long-term AI opportunityWhile some smaller companies will undoubtedly score disruptive wins with artificial intelligence, the resource-intensive nature of the technology category suggests that established tech giants will wind up being AI's biggest winners. To that end, TSMC and Alphabet each have deep resources and powerful competitive advantages that could be enhanced by the evolution of AI. Even better, both companies are also trading at valuation levels that leave the door open for long-term investors to see very strong returns.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":137,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":766235112767664,"gmtCreate":1687773723073,"gmtModify":1687773726622,"author":{"id":"3576401458285275","authorId":"3576401458285275","name":"Huitai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be4eb3604e496ba474ae6df683a3ed25","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wonder how much is each battery swap stations cost","listText":"Wonder how much is each battery swap stations cost","text":"Wonder how much is each battery swap stations cost","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/766235112767664","repostId":"2346051454","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2346051454","pubTimestamp":1687770421,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2346051454?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2023-06-26 17:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nio Reaches 1,500 Swap Stations in China As It Aims for 2,300 By Year-End","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2346051454","media":"CnEVPost","summary":"Nio's battery swap stations in China have served a cumulative total of more than 24 million times today, averaging more than 50,000 services per day.\n...","content":"<html><head></head><body><blockquote>Nio&#39;s battery swap stations in China have served a cumulative total of more than 24 million times today, averaging more than 50,000 services per day.</blockquote><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NIO\">Nio</a> has reached a new milestone in the number of battery swap stations in China, as it continues to build its iconic replenishment facility.</p><p>Nio today put five new battery swap stations into operation in China, bringing the total to 1,500, 410 of which are located along highways, according to data released today by the electric vehicle (EV) maker.</p><p>At the same time, Nio&#39;s battery swap stations in China have accumulated more than 24 million services today, averaging more than 50,000 services per day.</p><p>On average, a vehicle leaves Nio&#39;s battery swap stations with a fully charged battery every 1.8 seconds, the company said, adding that more than 60 percent of NIO vehicles&#39; power comes from these stations.</p><p>Currently, 72.44 percent of Nio owners can find a battery swap station within 3 kilometers of their home or office, Nio said.</p><p>Here&#39;s a video Nio shared on its mobile app about the historical changes in the number of its battery swap stations.</p><p>In addition to providing Nio owners with fully charged batteries, battery swap stations are small, distributed energy storage sites.</p><p>Nio&#39;s 1,500 battery swap stations can store a total of about 1.36 million kWh of energy, saving about RMB 300 million yuan a year in electricity costs in China, considering that electricity costs are lower at night, the company said.</p><p>These stations can also participate in load regulation on the grid, helping it accommodate more electricity generated from clean energy sources such as wind and photovoltaics, Nio said.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/87ecf85a6cc534d176b76c07aaae1729\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"675\"/></p><p>Nio allows consumers to purchase vehicles that include batteries, or rent batteries without buying them.

The Nasdaq Composite ($NASX) had its best first-half performance in four decades while the S&P 500 ($SPX) rose more than 15% to have the best start to the year since 2019. However, Disney (DIS) was barely in the green, with gains of about 3%. Disney Has Pivoted To Streaming Disney is among the most iconic global brands and is the proverbial “cradle to grave” business, as it has something to offer to every age group. The company has historically been known for its parks and animated movies. And in 2019 it also pivoted to streaming.The pivot was quite successful in terms of numbers, and in the first 16 months after launch Disney+ surpassed 100 million users.  After accounting for Hulu and ESPN+, Disney now has more streaming subscribers than streaming giant Netflix (NFLX).While the pivot might seem hugely successful considering the massive growth in subscribers, Disney’s streaming business is unprofitable and its losses peaked at $1.47 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2022 that ended in September 2022, which reflects the toll that the streaming war has taken on industry players.Disney Reappointed Bob Iger As CEOThat fiscal fourth quarter earnings call in 2022 turned out to be the last one for Disney’s then-CEO Bob Chapek who was removed from his position in November, just days later.Disney reappointed Chapek’s predecessor Bob Iger as the CEO. Notably, it was Iger under whose watch Disney pivoted to streaming and the business gained traction under Chapek. The growth in Disney’s streaming business was also aided by the COVID-19 lockdowns as streaming subscribers grew exponentially in 2020.Soon after he took over, Iger embarked on his mission to transform Disney. He reversed some of Chapek’s decisions and shifted the focus back to creativity.Chapek also ended Disney’s work-from-home policy and stressed that working in a team environment works best for a creative company like Disney.

That would spell the end of President Joe Biden’s agenda.</p><p>For businesses, the biggest impact of a GOP ascent would be the end of one-party economic policy. Democrats would no longer be able to use the partisan budget maneuvers to ram through tax increases, change Medicare drug policies, and pass pandemic relief spending that many economists say helped fuel inflation.</p><p>Even in a divided government, though, there may be room for compromises on border security and legal immigration that could address the labor shortages vexing US industries, along with possible agreements to streamline permitting and leasing for energy projects. Yet, GOP lawmakers are vowing to investigate Biden’s administration, reject his appointees to key jobs and wage a fight over the US debt limit that risks rattling markets — politically charged moves that could interfere with any bipartisan deal-making.</p><p>With a week until Election Day, here’s a look at what’s at stake for business:</p><h2>Republican Congress Would Put Brakes on Business Tax Increase</h2><p>Democrats came within one Senate vote of raising the corporate tax rate to 25% and imposing a global minimum profits tax. The risk of that being resurrected goes away if the GOP takes the House as expected, along with the chances of a windfall profit tax for oil companies. The midterm outcome will also likely shape December talks on renewing research and development tax breaks.</p><p>Republicans have said that in the majority they will push to extend expiring provisions of the 2017 tax cuts signed by former President Donald Trump tax cuts. Two provisions of that law are especially valuable to businesses: the 20% deduction on qualified income for many pass-through entities that expires in 2025 and bonus depreciation for qualified business purchases that phases down fully in 2027.</p><p>Anti-tax activist Grover Norquist predicts a GOP Congress would negotiate with the White House a two-year extension of those provisions before the end of 2024.</p><p>Former top Senate GOP aide Rohit Kumar, now at PWC, predicts the GOP would force tough votes on a reconciliation bill extending the Trump tax law to pressure moderate Democrats to agree to small business relief. “That would set the table for a final negotiation in 2025,” he said.</p><h2>Energy Production Could Get Boost, Climate Measures Pared</h2><p>Republicans plan to push for expanded domestic energy production if they take the majority and will try to use voter frustration over high gasoline prices to get the Biden administration to go along. The House Energy and Commerce Committee will look to boost development of hydrogen projects, streamline permitting and development of nuclear power plants, and accelerate approval for liquefied natural gas export facilities, Representative Bill Johnson, an Ohio Republican who serves on the committee, said.</p><p>Those measures, if enacted, would benefit companies such as nuclear operator Southern Co., small modular reactor maker NuScale Power Corp., and liquefied natural gas exporter Cheniere Energy, Inc. They could benefit drillers like Halliburton Co. and oil producers such as Exxon Mobil Corp. Johnson also plans to target a Biden administration rule phasing out some natural gas furnaces that drew the ire of the American Gas Association, which represents utilities such as Dominion Energy, Inc. and DTE Energy Co.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f20f8410c8c7d0df16077f5b79746f01\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"667\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Wind turbines at the San Gorgonio Pass wind farm Palm Springs, Calif.Photographer: Bing Guan/Bloomberg</span></p><p>Republicans are already vowing strict oversight over hundreds of billions of dollars in lending authority that Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act gave to the Energy Department. Meanwhile, carmakers’ desire for an additional $7 billion in spending on electric-vehicle charging stations, favored by companies like General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co., is likely to go ignored by GOP lawmakers. Biden cut his request for $15 billion in EV charger money in half to win GOP support for his bipartisan infrastructure bill and a second Democrats-only climate bill focused on extending EV tax credits for consumers.</p><p>US Chamber of Commerce Executive Vice President Neil Bradley said he doesn’t see the GOP being able to claw back money for renewable energy or reverse Biden’s past tax increases given the legislative hurdles in the Senate. “You are not un-ringing that bell in divided government,” he said.</p><h2>Financial Regulations Could be Delayed or Thwarted</h2><p>Trading firms including Robinhood Markets Inc. would benefit from a takeover by Republicans, who have sought to thwart planned regulations from the Securities and Exchange Commission under Gary Gensler. GOP lawmakers can delay rule-making with information requests to the SEC and language in annual funding bills directing the agency to hold off on regulating.</p><p>Meanwhile, one of the biggest targets for corporations is an SEC plan to require companies to disclose their greenhouse-gas emissions and in some cases from their suppliers and customers. Proposed in March, the rule has drawn the ire of industries from oil to farming. Exxon Mobil, Meta Platforms Inc. and Walmart Inc. have weighed in.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a9fc48138aeac12603f4322e9333b15\" tg-width=\"968\" tg-height=\"631\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>The SEC is also looking to add regulation on the crypto-currency industry.</p><p>Private equity firms and hedge funds could also benefit from any slowdown in SEC rulemaking. Gensler has proposed forcing them to disclose more about their fees and putting in place new restrictions, all of which have drawn the industry’s ire.</p><h2>Antitrust Bill Opposed by Tech Companies Unlikely to Pass</h2><p>Silicon Valley would likely be spared in a Republican Congress from sweeping legislation aimed at anti-competitive behavior by tech companies such as Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google. The bill has sponsors in both parties and has been cleared by key House and Senate committees, yet the tech industry has helped to stall the measure’s progress with lobbying campaign that has topped $100 million.</p><p>House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy and likely House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan oppose the antitrust bill, which would have to be reintroduced if it doesn’t get a vote in the current Congress by the end of the year.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab1eab8268ab3bcfbf3676453c804408\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"666\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Representative Jim Jordan, a Republican from Ohio, speaks during a House Judiciary Committee hearing in Washington.Photographer: Michael Reynolds/EPA</span></p><p>GOP lawmakers plan instead to focus on ending what they see as censorship of conservative voices on social media platforms, including by removing legal liability protections under Section 230, giving users an avenue to appeal when their content is removed and requiring more transparency from tech companies. None of these content-focused proposals is likely to become law, owing to insufficient support in the Senate and the strong odds of a Biden veto.</p><h2>Tougher Regulations For Hospitals, Insurers</h2><p>Hospitals, insurers and pharmaceutical benefit managers face the prospect of tough new regulations pushed by a Republican Congress, with the possible support from Democrats and the Biden administration. GOP lawmakers have promised to beef up requirements that hospitals post their prices online and lower drug costs by targeting drug industry middlemen known as pharmaceutical benefit managers. Party leaders have tried to shift away from promises to tear down the Affordable Care Act — also known as Obamacare — or restrict abortion rights, focusing instead on Americans’ rising medical bills.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/379f713489b433cd5b7609b13da5de8b\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"661\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>A CVS pharmacy store in San Francisco.Photographer: David Paul Morris/Bloomberg</span></p><p>Cathy McMorris Rodgers, the top Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, ran ads in her home state of Washington vowing to require hospitals, insurers and doctors to disclose prices so consumers can shop around. Three pharmaceutical managers make up more than two-thirds of the total US market: Express Scripts Inc., CVS Health Corp. and OptumRx Inc., HCA Healthcare Inc., Ascension Health and Tenet Healthcare Corp. are hospital companies that may be affected.</p><p>Many Democrats remain frustrated by the limited nature of the drug price negotiation provisions for Medicare in the Inflation Reduction Act, with just 10 drugs coming under negotiation in 2026. Expanding that power is unlikely under GOP control. Johnson &amp; Johnson, Merck &amp; Co. Inc., Pfizer Inc. and Eli Lilly &amp; Co. have products that Medicare spends heavily on.</p><h2>Five-Year, $428 Billion Farm Bill Up for Renewal</h2><p>The next Congress will need to pass another five-year Farm Bill governing direct agricultural subsidies, crop insurance, food stamps and conservation programs. The 2018 farm bill authorized $428 billion in spending over five years, with about three-quarters devoted to food assistance and a quarter to farm supports.</p><p>Renewing the farm bill, a pillar of domestic agribusiness, could be more difficult under GOP control. Some conservatives want to see farm subsidies cut, though there is broad support in both parties to maintain spending. The bigger issue will likely come on nutrition programs that the GOP has previously targeted over eligibility requirements and conservation programs. Food stamps help boost sales of groceries at retail chains such as Walmart and Kroger Co. by providing low-income recipients a way of buying more food.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c14d6bdab7767cbc4686de9832f6562e\" tg-width=\"1000\" tg-height=\"666\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>A tree shaker removes walnuts from trees at Barton Ranch in Escalon, Calif. The state is the biggest global shipper of walnuts and second-largest grower after China.Photographer: David Paul Morris/Bloomberg</span></p><p>Direct federal government payments are a significant contributor to farm profits, accounting for between 18% and 48% of annual net US farm income since 2018, according to the US Agriculture Department. The extra income for farmers helps boost sales for seed, pesticide, fertilizer and equipment providers such as The Mosaic Co. and Deere &amp; Co. It also reduces costs for major grain buyers such as Cargill Inc. and Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. and meat and poultry processors such as Tyson Foods Inc. that purchase animal feed.</p><h2>Weapons Makers Could See Boost in Contracting</h2><p>A GOP-led Congress offers both opportunities and peril for he biggest US defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corp., Raytheon Co., General Dynamics Corp. and Boeing Co.</p><p>Republicans have complained that the Biden administration under-funds weapons systems, and the party will be under pressure to ensure that the military’s budget keeps pace with inflation.

That would spell the end of President Joe Biden’s agenda.For businesses, the biggest impact of a GOP ascent would be the end of one-party economic policy. Democrats would no longer be able to use the partisan budget maneuvers to ram through tax increases, change Medicare drug policies, and pass pandemic relief spending that many economists say helped fuel inflation.Even in a divided government, though, there may be room for compromises on border security and legal immigration that could address the labor shortages vexing US industries, along with possible agreements to streamline permitting and leasing for energy projects. Yet, GOP lawmakers are vowing to investigate Biden’s administration, reject his appointees to key jobs and wage a fight over the US debt limit that risks rattling markets — politically charged moves that could interfere with any bipartisan deal-making.With a week until Election Day, here’s a look at what’s at stake for business:Republican Congress Would Put Brakes on Business Tax IncreaseDemocrats came within one Senate vote of raising the corporate tax rate to 25% and imposing a global minimum profits tax. The risk of that being resurrected goes away if the GOP takes the House as expected, along with the chances of a windfall profit tax for oil companies. The midterm outcome will also likely shape December talks on renewing research and development tax breaks.Republicans have said that in the majority they will push to extend expiring provisions of the 2017 tax cuts signed by former President Donald Trump tax cuts. Two provisions of that law are especially valuable to businesses: the 20% deduction on qualified income for many pass-through entities that expires in 2025 and bonus depreciation for qualified business purchases that phases down fully in 2027.Anti-tax activist Grover Norquist predicts a GOP Congress would negotiate with the White House a two-year extension of those provisions before the end of 2024.Former top Senate GOP aide Rohit Kumar, now at PWC, predicts the GOP would force tough votes on a reconciliation bill extending the Trump tax law to pressure moderate Democrats to agree to small business relief. “That would set the table for a final negotiation in 2025,” he said.Energy Production Could Get Boost, Climate Measures ParedRepublicans plan to push for expanded domestic energy production if they take the majority and will try to use voter frustration over high gasoline prices to get the Biden administration to go along. The House Energy and Commerce Committee will look to boost development of hydrogen projects, streamline permitting and development of nuclear power plants, and accelerate approval for liquefied natural gas export facilities, Representative Bill Johnson, an Ohio Republican who serves on the committee, said.Those measures, if enacted, would benefit companies such as nuclear operator Southern Co., small modular reactor maker NuScale Power Corp., and liquefied natural gas exporter Cheniere Energy, Inc. They could benefit drillers like Halliburton Co. and oil producers such as Exxon Mobil Corp. Johnson also plans to target a Biden administration rule phasing out some natural gas furnaces that drew the ire of the American Gas Association, which represents utilities such as Dominion Energy, Inc. and DTE Energy Co.Wind turbines at the San Gorgonio Pass wind farm Palm Springs, Calif.Photographer: Bing Guan/BloombergRepublicans are already vowing strict oversight over hundreds of billions of dollars in lending authority that Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act gave to the Energy Department. Meanwhile, carmakers’ desire for an additional $7 billion in spending on electric-vehicle charging stations, favored by companies like General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co., is likely to go ignored by GOP lawmakers. Biden cut his request for $15 billion in EV charger money in half to win GOP support for his bipartisan infrastructure bill and a second Democrats-only climate bill focused on extending EV tax credits for consumers.US Chamber of Commerce Executive Vice President Neil Bradley said he doesn’t see the GOP being able to claw back money for renewable energy or reverse Biden’s past tax increases given the legislative hurdles in the Senate. “You are not un-ringing that bell in divided government,” he said.Financial Regulations Could be Delayed or ThwartedTrading firms including Robinhood Markets Inc. would benefit from a takeover by Republicans, who have sought to thwart planned regulations from the Securities and Exchange Commission under Gary Gensler. GOP lawmakers can delay rule-making with information requests to the SEC and language in annual funding bills directing the agency to hold off on regulating.Meanwhile, one of the biggest targets for corporations is an SEC plan to require companies to disclose their greenhouse-gas emissions and in some cases from their suppliers and customers. Proposed in March, the rule has drawn the ire of industries from oil to farming. Exxon Mobil, Meta Platforms Inc. and Walmart Inc. have weighed in.The SEC is also looking to add regulation on the crypto-currency industry.Private equity firms and hedge funds could also benefit from any slowdown in SEC rulemaking. Gensler has proposed forcing them to disclose more about their fees and putting in place new restrictions, all of which have drawn the industry’s ire.Antitrust Bill Opposed by Tech Companies Unlikely to PassSilicon Valley would likely be spared in a Republican Congress from sweeping legislation aimed at anti-competitive behavior by tech companies such as Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google. The bill has sponsors in both parties and has been cleared by key House and Senate committees, yet the tech industry has helped to stall the measure’s progress with lobbying campaign that has topped $100 million.House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy and likely House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan oppose the antitrust bill, which would have to be reintroduced if it doesn’t get a vote in the current Congress by the end of the year.Representative Jim Jordan, a Republican from Ohio, speaks during a House Judiciary Committee hearing in Washington.Photographer: Michael Reynolds/EPAGOP lawmakers plan instead to focus on ending what they see as censorship of conservative voices on social media platforms, including by removing legal liability protections under Section 230, giving users an avenue to appeal when their content is removed and requiring more transparency from tech companies. None of these content-focused proposals is likely to become law, owing to insufficient support in the Senate and the strong odds of a Biden veto.Tougher Regulations For Hospitals, InsurersHospitals, insurers and pharmaceutical benefit managers face the prospect of tough new regulations pushed by a Republican Congress, with the possible support from Democrats and the Biden administration. GOP lawmakers have promised to beef up requirements that hospitals post their prices online and lower drug costs by targeting drug industry middlemen known as pharmaceutical benefit managers. Party leaders have tried to shift away from promises to tear down the Affordable Care Act — also known as Obamacare — or restrict abortion rights, focusing instead on Americans’ rising medical bills.A CVS pharmacy store in San Francisco.Photographer: David Paul Morris/BloombergCathy McMorris Rodgers, the top Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, ran ads in her home state of Washington vowing to require hospitals, insurers and doctors to disclose prices so consumers can shop around. Three pharmaceutical managers make up more than two-thirds of the total US market: Express Scripts Inc., CVS Health Corp. and OptumRx Inc., HCA Healthcare Inc., Ascension Health and Tenet Healthcare Corp. are hospital companies that may be affected.Many Democrats remain frustrated by the limited nature of the drug price negotiation provisions for Medicare in the Inflation Reduction Act, with just 10 drugs coming under negotiation in 2026. Expanding that power is unlikely under GOP control. Johnson & Johnson, Merck & Co. Inc., Pfizer Inc. and Eli Lilly & Co. have products that Medicare spends heavily on.Five-Year, $428 Billion Farm Bill Up for RenewalThe next Congress will need to pass another five-year Farm Bill governing direct agricultural subsidies, crop insurance, food stamps and conservation programs. The 2018 farm bill authorized $428 billion in spending over five years, with about three-quarters devoted to food assistance and a quarter to farm supports.Renewing the farm bill, a pillar of domestic agribusiness, could be more difficult under GOP control. Some conservatives want to see farm subsidies cut, though there is broad support in both parties to maintain spending. The bigger issue will likely come on nutrition programs that the GOP has previously targeted over eligibility requirements and conservation programs. Food stamps help boost sales of groceries at retail chains such as Walmart and Kroger Co. by providing low-income recipients a way of buying more food.A tree shaker removes walnuts from trees at Barton Ranch in Escalon, Calif. The state is the biggest global shipper of walnuts and second-largest grower after China.Photographer: David Paul Morris/BloombergDirect federal government payments are a significant contributor to farm profits, accounting for between 18% and 48% of annual net US farm income since 2018, according to the US Agriculture Department. The extra income for farmers helps boost sales for seed, pesticide, fertilizer and equipment providers such as The Mosaic Co. and Deere & Co. It also reduces costs for major grain buyers such as Cargill Inc. and Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. and meat and poultry processors such as Tyson Foods Inc. that purchase animal feed.Weapons Makers Could See Boost in ContractingA GOP-led Congress offers both opportunities and peril for he biggest US defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corp., Raytheon Co., General Dynamics Corp. and Boeing Co.Republicans have complained that the Biden administration under-funds weapons systems, and the party will be under pressure to ensure that the military’s budget keeps pace with inflation. Texas Representative  Kay Granger, the likely next chair of the House Appropriations Committee, said in an interview she will prioritize increased defense spending.Yet the defense industry also risks getting caught in GOP brinkmanship on spending to force Biden to cut social programs and boost border security. Protracted battles over spending could force lawmakers to rely more on interim bills to fund the government that don’t allow for new contracts. It’s likely oversight of the Pentagon’s contracting processes for expediting arms contracts awards for Ukraine will likely receive more scrutiny in a Republican-controlled Congress.Also Read: What Midterms Mean for the Stock Market’s \"Best 6 Months\" As Favorable Calendar Stretch Gets Under Way","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":132,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9070383166,"gmtCreate":1657014657855,"gmtModify":1676535932027,"author":{"id":"3576401458285275","authorId":"3576401458285275","name":"Huitai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be4eb3604e496ba474ae6df683a3ed25","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"For Alphabet (GOOGL) good buy but difficult to buy average price if it fall further since per share price is $3k plus.

","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Story Highlights</b></p><blockquote>FAANG stocks have failed to hold their own amid the recent barrage of market chaos. Despite their recent slides, many analysts remain incredibly upbeat on the following three FAANG stocks, even as recession risks surge.</blockquote><p>FAANG stocks have been unable to steer clear of the market hailstorm that’s hit the tech sector. Though high-flying hyper-growth stocks have dragged stocks lower in the first half, the fallen FAANG stocks still appear like great long-term holds, even as rates and recession risks rise by the month.</p><p>Many may be quick to conclude that FAANG is dead. And although the acronym may be in need of an update following the epic blow-up of Meta (<b>META</b>) and Netflix (<b>NFLX</b>) in the first half, I’d argue that the broader basket needs more time to demonstrate its resilience.</p><p>As America’s top tech titans brace themselves for an economic slowdown, investors and analysts have been quick to temper expectations. Given their tremendous resilience, I’d argue it’s likely that it’s the FAANG stocks that could provide leadership as markets look to rebound.</p><p>In this piece, we usedTipRanks’ Comparison tool to have a closer look at three Strong-Buy-rated FAANG stocks.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ace53c3866bdfaad3c5b11b393044de7\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"322\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p><b>Alphabet (GOOGL)</b></p><p>Alphabet is a wonderful tech company that you can never count out. The company caused a bit of a stir when it reported a mild earnings miss in its first quarter, with $24.62 per-share earnings, missing the $25.89 estimate.</p><p>In a market that doesn’t even reward earnings beats, you can bet that earnings misses will be met with tremendous selling pressure. Though Alphabet’s rare quarterly flop may be viewed as the beginning of a disturbing trend, I’d argue that things weren’t nearly as ugly as they seemed under the hood.</p><p>The search and cloud businesses were remarkably strong. Internet video behemoth YouTube acted as a major drag for the quarter, thanks in part to significant competition for user engagement and the reopening of the economy. Indeed, many shut-in consumers have been going out, rather than spending hours on custom-tailored videos served up by the YouTube algorithm.</p><p>Though lockdown tailwinds are unlikely to return, even as new COVID variants do, I view YouTube as a powerful platform that could recover ahead of an economic slowdown.</p><p>YouTube isn’t just a magnificent entertainment platform. It’s one that could be a lot more recession-resilient than skeptics think.</p><p>As the economy slows down, consumers won’t be in a hurry to spend considerable sums anymore. Many may ditch their paid subscriptions, and start going out less to curb their monthly spending. As they do, people could spend more time engaging with YouTube’s free, ad-based platform.</p><p>Though YouTube subscriptions could decline, I view the ad business as one that could take off as free entertainment tiers get a chance to shine.</p><p>There’s nothing wrong with YouTube. Softness in the first quarter seems like more of a road bump than the beginning of an insidious trend. As YouTube bounces back, while search and cloud continue powering higher, GOOG stock makes for an exciting dip-buy. At writing, the stock trades at 5.3 times sales and 19.8 times trailing earnings.</p><p>Wall Street is upbeat, with the average Alphabet price target of $3,116.90, implying a 43.32% upside.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/22b03b1ce490c1ab4e4893d884b13e4f\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"344\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p><b>Apple (AAPL)</b></p><p>Apple is another high-quality FAANG stock that investors don’t seem to be giving the benefit of the doubt. Despite clocking in a solid Q1 earnings beat, the cautious guide startled investors. There are supply-side constraints that not even Apple can navigate through without enduring a bit of pain.</p><p>Still, as Apple moves past such issues in the second half, there are reasons to believe that demand could stay strong, as wealthier consumers continue to spend on the latest and greatest Apple devices and services. It’s encouraging that Apple fans tend to have a bit more disposable income than more cost-conscious Android users.</p><p>Apple’s strong brand may help it dampen the downside in a recession. However, it’s an innovation that could help Apple shrug off a coming 2023 economic slide. The much-anticipated mixed-reality headset is rumored to launch in early 2023.</p><p>As you may remember, Apple unveiled the first iPhone in the face of the Great Financial Crisis. Looking back, the market crash of 2008 is just a small blip. Could Apple’s big headset launch induce upside such that the 2022 plunge will be dwarfed in a few years’ time? I’d argue it’s likely.</p><p>Wall Street is staying bullish, with the average Apple price target of $186.09, implying a 34.0% upside.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/79c3baa550a4f7d7afb7414d0195a4b3\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"344\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p><b>Microsoft (MSFT)</b></p><p>Last, but not least, we have enterprise juggernaut Microsoft, which bucked the trend, with a strong recent quarter along with optimistic guidance. How has Microsoft been able to pivot so effectively where its FAANG peers have fallen?</p><p>Microsoft doesn’t just have excellent managers running the show under CEO Satya Nadella. Enterprise spending has been incredibly robust, and it could stay this way as the consumer begins to get sluggish. Microsoft’s Azure business has been virtually unstoppable amid the digital transformation.</p><p>As the company looks to take its Xbox gaming business to new highs, count me as unsurprised if Microsoft becomes a dominant software player in the metaverse. Yes, the metaverse remains abstract, but Microsoft has the tools it needs to make a smooth transition.</p><p>At writing, Microsoft trades at 27.1 times trailing earnings and 10.1 times sales. It’s the second-priciest FAANG stock on a price-to-earnings basis. However, given its relative resilience, the stock doesn’t seem all that pricey.</p><p>Wall Street is extremely bullish, with the average Microsoft price target of $352.57, implying a 35.9% upside.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1cdefd8f7e316ab430b0b5141f0a2121\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"344\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>FAANG stocks still seem like great buys, even though they’ve faded alongside the broader market.

Despite their recent slides, many analysts remain incredibly upbeat on the following three FAANG stocks, even as recession risks surge.FAANG stocks have been unable to steer clear of the market hailstorm that’s hit the tech sector. Though high-flying hyper-growth stocks have dragged stocks lower in the first half, the fallen FAANG stocks still appear like great long-term holds, even as rates and recession risks rise by the month.Many may be quick to conclude that FAANG is dead. And although the acronym may be in need of an update following the epic blow-up of Meta (META) and Netflix (NFLX) in the first half, I’d argue that the broader basket needs more time to demonstrate its resilience.As America’s top tech titans brace themselves for an economic slowdown, investors and analysts have been quick to temper expectations. Given their tremendous resilience, I’d argue it’s likely that it’s the FAANG stocks that could provide leadership as markets look to rebound.In this piece, we usedTipRanks’ Comparison tool to have a closer look at three Strong-Buy-rated FAANG stocks.Alphabet (GOOGL)Alphabet is a wonderful tech company that you can never count out. The company caused a bit of a stir when it reported a mild earnings miss in its first quarter, with $24.62 per-share earnings, missing the $25.89 estimate.In a market that doesn’t even reward earnings beats, you can bet that earnings misses will be met with tremendous selling pressure. Though Alphabet’s rare quarterly flop may be viewed as the beginning of a disturbing trend, I’d argue that things weren’t nearly as ugly as they seemed under the hood.The search and cloud businesses were remarkably strong. Internet video behemoth YouTube acted as a major drag for the quarter, thanks in part to significant competition for user engagement and the reopening of the economy. Indeed, many shut-in consumers have been going out, rather than spending hours on custom-tailored videos served up by the YouTube algorithm.Though lockdown tailwinds are unlikely to return, even as new COVID variants do, I view YouTube as a powerful platform that could recover ahead of an economic slowdown.YouTube isn’t just a magnificent entertainment platform. It’s one that could be a lot more recession-resilient than skeptics think.As the economy slows down, consumers won’t be in a hurry to spend considerable sums anymore. Many may ditch their paid subscriptions, and start going out less to curb their monthly spending. As they do, people could spend more time engaging with YouTube’s free, ad-based platform.Though YouTube subscriptions could decline, I view the ad business as one that could take off as free entertainment tiers get a chance to shine.There’s nothing wrong with YouTube. Softness in the first quarter seems like more of a road bump than the beginning of an insidious trend. As YouTube bounces back, while search and cloud continue powering higher, GOOG stock makes for an exciting dip-buy. At writing, the stock trades at 5.3 times sales and 19.8 times trailing earnings.Wall Street is upbeat, with the average Alphabet price target of $3,116.90, implying a 43.32% upside.Apple (AAPL)Apple is another high-quality FAANG stock that investors don’t seem to be giving the benefit of the doubt. Despite clocking in a solid Q1 earnings beat, the cautious guide startled investors. There are supply-side constraints that not even Apple can navigate through without enduring a bit of pain.Still, as Apple moves past such issues in the second half, there are reasons to believe that demand could stay strong, as wealthier consumers continue to spend on the latest and greatest Apple devices and services. It’s encouraging that Apple fans tend to have a bit more disposable income than more cost-conscious Android users.Apple’s strong brand may help it dampen the downside in a recession. However, it’s an innovation that could help Apple shrug off a coming 2023 economic slide. The much-anticipated mixed-reality headset is rumored to launch in early 2023.As you may remember, Apple unveiled the first iPhone in the face of the Great Financial Crisis. Looking back, the market crash of 2008 is just a small blip. Could Apple’s big headset launch induce upside such that the 2022 plunge will be dwarfed in a few years’ time? I’d argue it’s likely.Wall Street is staying bullish, with the average Apple price target of $186.09, implying a 34.0% upside.Microsoft (MSFT)Last, but not least, we have enterprise juggernaut Microsoft, which bucked the trend, with a strong recent quarter along with optimistic guidance. How has Microsoft been able to pivot so effectively where its FAANG peers have fallen?Microsoft doesn’t just have excellent managers running the show under CEO Satya Nadella. Enterprise spending has been incredibly robust, and it could stay this way as the consumer begins to get sluggish. Microsoft’s Azure business has been virtually unstoppable amid the digital transformation.As the company looks to take its Xbox gaming business to new highs, count me as unsurprised if Microsoft becomes a dominant software player in the metaverse. Yes, the metaverse remains abstract, but Microsoft has the tools it needs to make a smooth transition.At writing, Microsoft trades at 27.1 times trailing earnings and 10.1 times sales. It’s the second-priciest FAANG stock on a price-to-earnings basis. However, given its relative resilience, the stock doesn’t seem all that pricey.Wall Street is extremely bullish, with the average Microsoft price target of $352.57, implying a 35.9% upside.ConclusionFAANG stocks still seem like great buys, even though they’ve faded alongside the broader market. At this juncture, analysts expect most from Alphabet over the year ahead. Personally, I find it hard to pick just one of the three Strong Buy-rated FAANG stars.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":33,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"4096599098888750","authorId":"4096599098888750","name":"Fadzli13","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/15e467ec92dd53b5422e77e7a427c1bf","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"content":"Might need to wait for the upcoming stock split to make it more accessible to a wider range of people.","text":"Might need to wait for the upcoming stock split to make it more accessible to a wider range of people.","html":"Might need to wait for the upcoming stock split to make it more accessible to a wider range of people."}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9035647832,"gmtCreate":1647594242952,"gmtModify":1676534248727,"author":{"id":"3576401458285275","authorId":"3576401458285275","name":"Huitai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be4eb3604e496ba474ae6df683a3ed25","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Can Tiger help to transfer out the China ADR to HK Stock Exchange&nbsp;if it is delisted In US, ??","listText":"Can Tiger help to transfer out the China ADR to HK Stock Exchange&nbsp;if it is delisted In US, ??","text":"Can Tiger help to transfer out the China ADR to HK Stock Exchange if it is delisted In US, ??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9035647832","repostId":"1130532398","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1130532398","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1647590694,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1130532398?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-03-18 16:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Over 90% of UP Fintech’s Q4 Newly Funded Accounts Came from Outside China, Achieving 119% of the Annual Target","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1130532398","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"UP Fintech Holding Limited (the “Company”, a NASDAQ-listed company under the ticker “TIGR”, and all ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>UP Fintech Holding Limited (the “Company”, a NASDAQ-listed company under the ticker “TIGR”, and all of its subsidiaries and consolidated entities), a leading online brokerage firm focusing on global investors, today reported its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021.

Shares fell by 14% Tuesday in response to the announcement.</p><p>In Shopify&#39;s case, the main reason behind the layoffs is sluggish e-commerce performance as COVID-19 pandemic restrictions have been relaxed, allowing brick-and-mortar retailers to return to business as usual. This headwind, combined with the prospect of slowing consumer discretionary spending, hasn&#39;t exactly resulted in the best environment for Shopify, which grew its business aggressively in recent years.</p><p>To be sure, layoffs like these are always unfortunate. However, from an investor&#39;s perspective, are these layoffs a sign that the best part of Shopify&#39;s growth story is behind it, or could this be an opportunity for patient long-term investors to add shares at a relative discount?</p><h2>Why is Shopify reducing its workforce?</h2><p>In a letter to employees, Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke confirmed that the company will reduce its workforce by about 10%, which means that about 1,000 people will lose their jobs. The bulk of the reductions will be in recruiting, support, and sales, plus Shopify plans to eliminate &#34;over-specialized and duplicate roles.&#34;</p><p>In a nutshell, Lütke thought that the massive surge in e-commerce demand that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic would be more durable than it turned out to be. As he said in the letter, the company bet that the share of retail that took place through e-commerce would permanently leap ahead by five to 10 years. Now this doesn&#39;t seem to be the case. E-commerce adoption is trending back to where its growth trajectory was heading before the pandemic happened.</p><h2>Does the business still have room to grow long term?</h2><p>Shopify is already an e-commerce powerhouse. Its platform has the No. 2 share of e-commerce sales in the U.S., behind <b>Amazon</b>. In fact, Shopify merchants have higher online sales volume than <b>Walmart</b>, <b>Best Buy</b>, and <b>Costco</b> <i>combined</i>, based on 2021 data. More than 10% of all e-commerce sales are facilitated by Shopify.</p><p>Although this is certainly impressive, that doesn&#39;t mean the company doesn&#39;t still have plenty of runway ahead of it. As Lütke correctly points out in his letter, e-commerce makes up less than 15% of all addressable retail sales in the United States. And there are millions of small and medium-sized businesses that could potentially set up shop on Shopify&#39;s platform. He believes the &#34;opportunity is massive and it&#39;s still early days for Shopify.&#34;</p><p>In fact, the company has estimated that its addressable market of small and medium-sized businesses worldwide represents a $160 billion revenue opportunity. It certainly isn&#39;t going to get it all, but with less than $5 billion in revenue over the past four quarters, it&#39;s fair to say that Shopify still has potential. And keep in mind that the $160 billion figure is based on the <i>current</i> e-commerce landscape -- as more retail shifts to online channels over time, the company&#39;s addressable market should grow.</p><h2>Is now the time to buy?</h2><p>Shopify&#39;s stock price fell by more than 15% on the news of layoffs and is now down by about 82% from its 52-week high.

Shopify just became the latest company to join this group, and investors aren't happy. Shares fell by 14% Tuesday in response to the announcement.In Shopify's case, the main reason behind the layoffs is sluggish e-commerce performance as COVID-19 pandemic restrictions have been relaxed, allowing brick-and-mortar retailers to return to business as usual. This headwind, combined with the prospect of slowing consumer discretionary spending, hasn't exactly resulted in the best environment for Shopify, which grew its business aggressively in recent years.To be sure, layoffs like these are always unfortunate. However, from an investor's perspective, are these layoffs a sign that the best part of Shopify's growth story is behind it, or could this be an opportunity for patient long-term investors to add shares at a relative discount?Why is Shopify reducing its workforce?In a letter to employees, Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke confirmed that the company will reduce its workforce by about 10%, which means that about 1,000 people will lose their jobs. The bulk of the reductions will be in recruiting, support, and sales, plus Shopify plans to eliminate \"over-specialized and duplicate roles.\"In a nutshell, Lütke thought that the massive surge in e-commerce demand that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic would be more durable than it turned out to be. As he said in the letter, the company bet that the share of retail that took place through e-commerce would permanently leap ahead by five to 10 years. Now this doesn't seem to be the case. E-commerce adoption is trending back to where its growth trajectory was heading before the pandemic happened.Does the business still have room to grow long term?Shopify is already an e-commerce powerhouse. Its platform has the No. 2 share of e-commerce sales in the U.S., behind Amazon. In fact, Shopify merchants have higher online sales volume than Walmart, Best Buy, and Costco combined, based on 2021 data. More than 10% of all e-commerce sales are facilitated by Shopify.Although this is certainly impressive, that doesn't mean the company doesn't still have plenty of runway ahead of it. As Lütke correctly points out in his letter, e-commerce makes up less than 15% of all addressable retail sales in the United States. And there are millions of small and medium-sized businesses that could potentially set up shop on Shopify's platform. He believes the \"opportunity is massive and it's still early days for Shopify.\"In fact, the company has estimated that its addressable market of small and medium-sized businesses worldwide represents a $160 billion revenue opportunity. It certainly isn't going to get it all, but with less than $5 billion in revenue over the past four quarters, it's fair to say that Shopify still has potential. And keep in mind that the $160 billion figure is based on the current e-commerce landscape -- as more retail shifts to online channels over time, the company's addressable market should grow.Is now the time to buy?Shopify's stock price fell by more than 15% on the news of layoffs and is now down by about 82% from its 52-week high. And while some decline is certainly justified, there are still some compelling long-term catalysts that could result in tremendous, long-tailed growth for the business. Several members of Shopify's management team, including Lütke, have made large stock purchases after the recent downturn and clearly see a long-term value opportunity here. If they're right, the current share price could end up being a massive bargain.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":48,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":153486342,"gmtCreate":1625042617486,"gmtModify":1703850752253,"author":{"id":"3576401458285275","authorId":"3576401458285275","name":"Huitai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be4eb3604e496ba474ae6df683a3ed25","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Didi is the winner","listText":"Didi is the winner","text":"Didi is the winner","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/153486342","repostId":"1134806862","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1134806862","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":1625040927,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1134806862?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-30 16:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"How do ride-hailing giants Didi and Uber compare?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1134806862","media":"Reuters","summary":"BEIJING, June 30 (Reuters) - Chinese ride-hailing giant Didi Global is set to make its trading debut","content":"<p>BEIJING, June 30 (Reuters) - Chinese ride-hailing giant Didi Global is set to make its trading debut on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday after an initial public offering that sources said raised $4.4 billion, valuing it at $67.5 billion in the biggest share sale by a Chinese company in the U.S. in seven years.</p>\n<p>Didi absorbed Uber’s China business in 2016 - Uber retains a 12.8% stake in the firm - and averaged 25 million rides a day in the first three months of the year in China, where it is the dominant operator.</p>\n<p>Here are some key facts of the company and its global rival, U.S.-based industry pioneer Uber Technologies Inc, which has a market capitalisation of $95 billion:</p>\n<p><b>FOUNDING</b></p>\n<p>- Didi was founded by Chief Executive Will Cheng, formerly at Alibaba, in Beijing in 2012.

Combined, they have brought in $705 billion in revenue over the past 12 months, but that number pales in comparison to the growth trajectories both companies are on.</p><p>Is there an advantage that either stock has that investors should pinpoint? Or are they both evenly matched? Let&#39;s find out.</p><h2>A common offering is the future for both</h2><p>These two businesses hardly needs an introduction. Amazon&#39;s e-commerce platform has become the go-to place for nearly all shopping needs. Microsoft&#39;s Office products are standard for most computers, and it has a consumer product segment offering laptops and gaming consoles.</p><p>However, the most important segment for both companies&#39; future may well be cloud computing. Microsoft&#39;s Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are the industry leaders, each maintaining an impressive market share.</p><table border=\"1\"><tbody><tr><th>Company</th><th>Rank</th><th>Market Share</th></tr><tr><td><b>Amazon</b></td><td>1st</td><td>34%</td></tr><tr><td><b>Microsoft</b></td><td>2nd</td><td>21%</td></tr><tr><td><b>Alphabet </b>(Google Cloud)</td><td>3rd</td><td>11%</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Data source: Synergy Research Group.</p><p>That&#39;s a commanding lead over third-place Google Cloud. Additionally, each saw impressive revenue growth, with AWS rising 27% and Microsoft rising 35% year over year in their latest quarters. That growth is expected to continue for some time. Precedence Research expects the industry to grow at a compound annual rate of 17.4% from 2022 to 2030, eventually reaching a $1.6 trillion market.</p><p>Say Amazon and Microsoft can retain their current market share in cloud computing. This would put potential 2030 revenue for this segment at $544 billion for Amazon and $336 billion for Microsoft. That&#39;s impressive considering that Amazon&#39;s trailing-12-month revenue was $502 billion and Microsoft&#39;s was $203 billion. It&#39;s an opportunity for massive growth apart from their other businesses.</p><p>Looking at it another way, that $336 billion would be more than double Microsoft&#39;s non-Azure revenue today, by my estimate. By comparison, the projected $554 billion for Amazon&#39;s AWS business would be just a little over 30% more than its non-AWS revenue today. So cloud computing could have a much bigger impact down the road for Microsoft&#39;s revenue.</p><p>However, on the bottom line, cloud computing could be more meaningful for Amazon, because AWS has a higher margin than the e-commerce revenue.

Combined, they have brought in $705 billion in revenue over the past 12 months, but that number pales in comparison to the growth trajectories both companies are on.Is there an advantage that either stock has that investors should pinpoint? Or are they both evenly matched? Let's find out.A common offering is the future for bothThese two businesses hardly needs an introduction. Amazon's e-commerce platform has become the go-to place for nearly all shopping needs. Microsoft's Office products are standard for most computers, and it has a consumer product segment offering laptops and gaming consoles.However, the most important segment for both companies' future may well be cloud computing. Microsoft's Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are the industry leaders, each maintaining an impressive market share.CompanyRankMarket ShareAmazon1st34%Microsoft2nd21%Alphabet (Google Cloud)3rd11%Data source: Synergy Research Group.That's a commanding lead over third-place Google Cloud. Additionally, each saw impressive revenue growth, with AWS rising 27% and Microsoft rising 35% year over year in their latest quarters. That growth is expected to continue for some time. Precedence Research expects the industry to grow at a compound annual rate of 17.4% from 2022 to 2030, eventually reaching a $1.6 trillion market.Say Amazon and Microsoft can retain their current market share in cloud computing. This would put potential 2030 revenue for this segment at $544 billion for Amazon and $336 billion for Microsoft. That's impressive considering that Amazon's trailing-12-month revenue was $502 billion and Microsoft's was $203 billion. It's an opportunity for massive growth apart from their other businesses.Looking at it another way, that $336 billion would be more than double Microsoft's non-Azure revenue today, by my estimate. By comparison, the projected $554 billion for Amazon's AWS business would be just a little over 30% more than its non-AWS revenue today. So cloud computing could have a much bigger impact down the road for Microsoft's revenue.However, on the bottom line, cloud computing could be more meaningful for Amazon, because AWS has a higher margin than the e-commerce revenue. In fact, it's Amazon's only profitable segment right now.At Amazon, AWS is also funding other business segments. At Microsoft, Azure is complementary. This skews the future outlook in Microsoft's favor.Amazon is the better valueHowever, stock valuation also has a role to play. Amazon isn't profitable, while Microsoft is, so comparing earnings or free cash flow isn't going to yield a helpful comparison. Plus, Amazon's commerce business is inherently low margin, even when profitable. So a direct comparison isn't possible. However, we can value each company in its own way.MSFT PS Ratio data by YChartsMicrosoft's price-to-earnings ratio of 27.5 is rich although not quite as expensive as it's been over the past couple of years. Microsoft's execution and consistency have earned it its premium, but the company must continue to execute at a high level to maintain its valuation.Moving to Amazon, if we value its AWS business at 9.4 times sales (the same as Microsoft) and its retail business at 0.7 times sales (the same as Walmart), you'd get a valuation like this below.Amazon SegmentTrailing-12-Month RevenueSegment Price-to-Sales RatioSegment Market CapAWS$76.5 billion9.4$719.1 billionCommerce$425.7 billion0.7$298.0 billionData source: Amazon and YCharts.Adding those two segments together gives Amazon a theoretical valuation of $1.017 trillion, yet the stock is valued at $960 billion.

Indeed, Apple even enticed investing legend Warren Buffett, who typically stays away from technology stocks, to take up a billion-dollar position back in 2016. But, as many of us know, the larger a snowball gets the harder it is to roll, to the point where it&#39;s so large it can&#39;t be rolled at all. With a nearly $2.5 trillion market cap, Apple is an enormous snowball. To put it in perspective, Apple is the size of 25 PayPal&#39;s (PYPL). It takes an enormous amount of money to move Apple, whether that be revenue, earnings, or investors.</p><p>Apple has an impressive track record of innovation with products such as the Apple Watch, Air Pods, Apple TV, and Apple Pay. But how many more home runs could be left in this behemoth? Just as important a question, how far outside the park must Apple hit these home runs to have a meaningful impact on revenue and earnings?</p><p>I&#39;m not betting against Apple&#39;s ability to innovate. I&#39;m betting against their ability to replicate past success in a manner that&#39;ll grow EPS well above the S&amp;P 500. In my opinion, Apple is a snowball that&#39;s just too hard to move. Because of this, I think investors are better off buying theSPY.</p><p><b>Where is Future Growth Coming From?</b></p><p>I think most of us will agree Apple has pretty well saturated the smartphone market in the US. As of 2021,datashows Apple had 46.9% of the US smartphone market with share gains growing at a very slow pace. I see no reason to believe iPhone share gains will be any better than the recent past.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6f5a8230f021553bdab552ae6cb8ce70\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"344\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>iPhone Market Share (statista.com)</p><p>Apple&#39;s second-largest market is Europe where they hold a 32.3% share. Apple holds a microscopic edge over Samsung as a market leader.

Apple recently reclaimed the number one spot as a smartphone provider in China. Apple overtook competitor Huawei after Huawei was negatively impacted by US sanctions. So, one could argue Apple&#39;s 23% leading market position is somewhat artificial.</p><p>Either way, with saturated markets in the US and Europe and a fiercely competitive environment in China, I don&#39;t see market-beating returns coming as a result of increasing iPhone sales which are the backbone of the company.</p><p>So, where will Apple turn to produce the +15% per year (or approximately $15 billion in year one) earnings growth investors are accustomed to?</p><p><b>Share Repurchases</b></p><p>Over the past 10 years, Apple has spent an astonishing$467 billion on share repurchases, reducing a total number of shares outstanding by 4.4% annually. Share repurchases have been a foundation of Apple&#39;s annual EPS growth and I fully expect this to continue in the future. While I&#39;m a fan of share repurchases, I don&#39;t prefer when they&#39;re the primary form of EPS growth.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/664dc00f07bea24b2eb1aa207937ae30\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"376\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Shares Outstanding (Quickfs.com)</p><p>To put it in perspective, share repurchases accounted for the following percentage (approximate) of annual EPS growth for Apple:</p><ul><li>2017: 47% of YOY EPS growth</li><li>2018: 21% of YOY EPS growth</li><li>2019: Not measurable because EPS growth was negative</li><li>2020: 62% of YOY EPS growth</li><li>2021: 9% of YOY EPS growth</li></ul><p>Prior to 2021, share repurchases often accounted for a significant portion of EPS growth. I view 2021 as an outlier due to the amount of fiscal stimulus injected into the economy, which drove up revenue for many companies, including Apple.</p><p><b>Products &amp; Services</b></p><p>Apple has numerous products and services of which I am a satisfied customer. These include the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Air Pods, AppStore, Apple Pay, and Apple Music. I greatly enjoy each of these and believe they offer excellent value.</p><p>Apple&#39;s fastest growing categories are Wearables, Home &amp; Accessories and Services. Over the past 5 years, Wearables, Home &amp; Accessories has grown revenue at a 31.5% CAGR while Services clocks in at 20.3%.</p><p>Here&#39;s what&#39;s included in each per Apple&#39;s 2021 10-K filing.</p><blockquote>Wearables, Home and Accessories net sales include sales of AirPods, Apple TV, Apple Watch, Beats products, HomePod, iPod touch and accessories.</blockquote><blockquote>Services net sales include sales from the Company&#39;s advertising, AppleCare, cloud, digital content, payment and other services.

In the table below, I de-rated the revenue CAGR for each category to reflect a more modest expectation of growth.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d0e23bc5acddfa2604ba624d20446f19\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"166\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Forecast Revenue by Category (Author&#39;s personal data)</p><p><b>Valuation</b></p><p>Using the market multiple approaches, I arrive at a 2026 target price of $197 for Apple, which includes share repurchases but excludes dividends. I assumed revenue growth of 10.3% (table above), net margins of 23.2% (5YR avg), a long-term PE of 20, and reducing shares outstanding by 4.5% annually.</p><ul><li>2026 revenue estimate = $593 billion</li><li>Net income = $593 billion x 23.2% = $137.6 billion</li><li>Shares outstanding reducing from 16.9 billion in 2022 to 14.0 billion in 2026</li><li>2026 EPS estimate = $137.6 billion / 14.0 billion = $9.83</li><li>Fair value = 20 (PE) x $9.83 = $196.60</li></ul><p>With today&#39;s price of $154 per share, a target price of $196.60 would constitute a 5-year CAGR of 5%. Not exactly a market-beating return in my opinion.</p><p>From a DCF perspective, I show an intrinsic value of $156, which doesn&#39;t offer an acceptable margin of safety. I used an 8% discount rate and 2.5% terminal growth rate. I assumed Apple will continue reducing a total number of shares outstanding by 2.5% annually and grow FCF by 7.4% annually (below the 10 YR CAGR of 10.8%).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89bb0473ac235d24fd63d6a47a1f565f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"340\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>DCF Valuation (Author&#39;s personal data)</p><p><b>Aren&#39;t There Risks To The SPY?</b></p><p>Of course, stocks and ETFs aren&#39;t called risk-assets for nothing. In the current macro environment of rising interest rates, sky-high inflation, and a looming recession, investing anywhere is risky. To quote Mr. Buffett:</p><blockquote>Unless you can watch your stock holding decline by 50% without becoming panic-stricken, you should not be in the stock market.</blockquote><p>History says 10 or 20 years from now, the market will be higher than what it is today, so it&#39;s important to keep a long-term perspective. In the current environment,dollar-cost averaging may be the best approach. And if you find yourself stressed about unrealized losses in 2022, that&#39;s probably a good sign you&#39;re invested too heavily, either in general or in an individual position. How well you sleep at night is often a good gauge of portfolio health.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>Apple is a phenomenal company with a bright future, but I find it hard to believe it&#39;ll offer market-beating returns in the coming years. At its current share price, Apple appears to be fairly valued and doesn&#39;t offer an acceptable margin of safety. Investors looking to 5x their money in the next 5 to 10 years likely won&#39;t be able to do so owning Apple. It&#39;s simply too large a snowball.

But, as many of us know, the larger a snowball gets the harder it is to roll, to the point where it's so large it can't be rolled at all. With a nearly $2.5 trillion market cap, Apple is an enormous snowball. To put it in perspective, Apple is the size of 25 PayPal's (PYPL). It takes an enormous amount of money to move Apple, whether that be revenue, earnings, or investors.Apple has an impressive track record of innovation with products such as the Apple Watch, Air Pods, Apple TV, and Apple Pay. But how many more home runs could be left in this behemoth? Just as important a question, how far outside the park must Apple hit these home runs to have a meaningful impact on revenue and earnings?I'm not betting against Apple's ability to innovate. I'm betting against their ability to replicate past success in a manner that'll grow EPS well above the S&P 500. In my opinion, Apple is a snowball that's just too hard to move. Because of this, I think investors are better off buying theSPY.Where is Future Growth Coming From?I think most of us will agree Apple has pretty well saturated the smartphone market in the US. As of 2021,datashows Apple had 46.9% of the US smartphone market with share gains growing at a very slow pace. I see no reason to believe iPhone share gains will be any better than the recent past.iPhone Market Share (statista.com)Apple's second-largest market is Europe where they hold a 32.3% share. Apple holds a microscopic edge over Samsung as a market leader. Share gains in Europe have also moderated in recent years similar to the US.Apple Market Share - Europe (Statcounter.com)Perhaps China can save the day? Apple recently reclaimed the number one spot as a smartphone provider in China. Apple overtook competitor Huawei after Huawei was negatively impacted by US sanctions. So, one could argue Apple's 23% leading market position is somewhat artificial.Either way, with saturated markets in the US and Europe and a fiercely competitive environment in China, I don't see market-beating returns coming as a result of increasing iPhone sales which are the backbone of the company.So, where will Apple turn to produce the +15% per year (or approximately $15 billion in year one) earnings growth investors are accustomed to?Share RepurchasesOver the past 10 years, Apple has spent an astonishing$467 billion on share repurchases, reducing a total number of shares outstanding by 4.4% annually. Share repurchases have been a foundation of Apple's annual EPS growth and I fully expect this to continue in the future. While I'm a fan of share repurchases, I don't prefer when they're the primary form of EPS growth.Shares Outstanding (Quickfs.com)To put it in perspective, share repurchases accounted for the following percentage (approximate) of annual EPS growth for Apple:2017: 47% of YOY EPS growth2018: 21% of YOY EPS growth2019: Not measurable because EPS growth was negative2020: 62% of YOY EPS growth2021: 9% of YOY EPS growthPrior to 2021, share repurchases often accounted for a significant portion of EPS growth. I view 2021 as an outlier due to the amount of fiscal stimulus injected into the economy, which drove up revenue for many companies, including Apple.Products & ServicesApple has numerous products and services of which I am a satisfied customer. These include the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Air Pods, AppStore, Apple Pay, and Apple Music. I greatly enjoy each of these and believe they offer excellent value.Apple's fastest growing categories are Wearables, Home & Accessories and Services. Over the past 5 years, Wearables, Home & Accessories has grown revenue at a 31.5% CAGR while Services clocks in at 20.3%.Here's what's included in each per Apple's 2021 10-K filing.Wearables, Home and Accessories net sales include sales of AirPods, Apple TV, Apple Watch, Beats products, HomePod, iPod touch and accessories.Services net sales include sales from the Company's advertising, AppleCare, cloud, digital content, payment and other services. Services net sales also include amortization of the deferred value of services bundled in the sales price of certain products.Revenue by Category (Author's personal data)As seen in the table above, iPhone, Mac, and iPad sales have been fairly lumpy whereas Wearables, Home & Accessories and Services has been steadily increasing.Using this information, I can make an educated guess on future revenue growth for Apple. In the table below, I de-rated the revenue CAGR for each category to reflect a more modest expectation of growth.Forecast Revenue by Category (Author's personal data)ValuationUsing the market multiple approaches, I arrive at a 2026 target price of $197 for Apple, which includes share repurchases but excludes dividends. I assumed revenue growth of 10.3% (table above), net margins of 23.2% (5YR avg), a long-term PE of 20, and reducing shares outstanding by 4.5% annually.2026 revenue estimate = $593 billionNet income = $593 billion x 23.2% = $137.6 billionShares outstanding reducing from 16.9 billion in 2022 to 14.0 billion in 20262026 EPS estimate = $137.6 billion / 14.0 billion = $9.83Fair value = 20 (PE) x $9.83 = $196.60With today's price of $154 per share, a target price of $196.60 would constitute a 5-year CAGR of 5%. Not exactly a market-beating return in my opinion.From a DCF perspective, I show an intrinsic value of $156, which doesn't offer an acceptable margin of safety. I used an 8% discount rate and 2.5% terminal growth rate. I assumed Apple will continue reducing a total number of shares outstanding by 2.5% annually and grow FCF by 7.4% annually (below the 10 YR CAGR of 10.8%).DCF Valuation (Author's personal data)Aren't There Risks To The SPY?Of course, stocks and ETFs aren't called risk-assets for nothing. In the current macro environment of rising interest rates, sky-high inflation, and a looming recession, investing anywhere is risky. To quote Mr. Buffett:Unless you can watch your stock holding decline by 50% without becoming panic-stricken, you should not be in the stock market.History says 10 or 20 years from now, the market will be higher than what it is today, so it's important to keep a long-term perspective. In the current environment,dollar-cost averaging may be the best approach. And if you find yourself stressed about unrealized losses in 2022, that's probably a good sign you're invested too heavily, either in general or in an individual position. How well you sleep at night is often a good gauge of portfolio health.ConclusionApple is a phenomenal company with a bright future, but I find it hard to believe it'll offer market-beating returns in the coming years. At its current share price, Apple appears to be fairly valued and doesn't offer an acceptable margin of safety. Investors looking to 5x their money in the next 5 to 10 years likely won't be able to do so owning Apple. It's simply too large a snowball. Because of this, I think investors are better served buying the SPY where they'll get indirect exposure to Apple, de-risk their portfolio, and have a decent chance of outperforming Apple in the long term.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":72,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":838742519,"gmtCreate":1629432533931,"gmtModify":1676530039680,"author":{"id":"3576401458285275","authorId":"3576401458285275","name":"Huitai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be4eb3604e496ba474ae6df683a3ed25","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Have fate&nbsp;on her wisdoms&nbsp;","listText":"Have fate&nbsp;on her wisdoms&nbsp;","text":"Have fate on her wisdoms","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/838742519","repostId":"1190139269","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1190139269","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":1629431602,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1190139269?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-20 11:53","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Palantir, Square, Genius Sports, Zymergen — Stocks Cathie Wood's Ark Bought Or Sold Thursday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1190139269","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest continues to pile up shares in Palantir Technologies Inc.\nThe popular mon","content":"<p><b>Cathie Wood</b>-led Ark Invest continues to pile&nbsp;up shares in&nbsp;<b>Palantir Technologies Inc</b>.</p>\n<p>The popular money managing firm on Thursday bought another 368,411 shares shares in the&nbsp;<b>Peter Thiel</b>-co-founded data analytics company on the dip,&nbsp;estimated to be worth about $8.9 million.</p>\n<p>Palantir shares&nbsp;closed 4.43% lower at $24.16 on Thursday.</p>\n<p>Including Thursday’s buys, Ark Invest has bought a total of 10.27 million shares in Palantir in just about a week after it&nbsp;reported second-quarter earnings&nbsp;and shares had jumped 11%.</p>\n<p>Ark Invest owns Palantir via all of its six active exchange-traded funds but deployed the&nbsp;<b>Ark Fintech Innovation ETF</b>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<b>Ark Space Exploration &amp; Innovation ETF</b>&nbsp;to buy the shares on Thursday.</p>\n<p>The six ETFs held a total of 35.77 million shares, worth $904.29 million, in Palantir, ahead of Thursday’s trade.</p>\n<p>Here are some of the other key trades for Ark on Thursday:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Shed 41,400 shares, estimated to be worth $10.65 million, in&nbsp;<b>Jack Dorsey</b>-led&nbsp;<b>Square Inc</b>.

It is these areas of strength that have drawn me into becoming a long-term investor in Tesla. These areas of strength very rarely get examined in my opinion and some are hard to put a quantifiable value on. However, when I invest in companies, these are some of the most important areas of a business I examine. After doing my research on Tesla, I went from owning zero shares a year ago to making Tesla one of my top five holdings. So now let&#39;s dive into these five areas of strength that Tesla maintains and should not be ignored by investors.</p><p>1. The Drive of Co-Founder and CEO Elon Musk:</p><p>Now I know what you may be thinking right after this subtitle, &#34;Elon wasn&#39;t the Founder of Tesla,&#34; so let us begin there. In 2009, what was Tesla Motors at the time announced an agreement after a lawsuit from co-founder Martin Eberhard, that there were five founders of Tesla not two. Elon Musk was one of those five, who was CEO and chief product architect at the time and now labeled as Technoking of Tesla, a.k.a. CEO.</p><p>The drive of Elon&#39;s entrepreneurial and visionary spirit, I believe is not appreciated enough in the market. If Elon Musk doesn&#39;t risk everything, including his personal life, money, time, and health, then we would never have an entire automobile industry putting efforts into building electric vehicles. We would not have reusable rockets going through space or space exploration for consumers.</p><p>I love these excerpts from the book&#34;Elon Musk&#34; by Ashlee Vance, as this sums it up perfectly.</p><blockquote>&#34;His willingness to make large personal investments is what sets him apart from other entrepreneurs and makes him so successful. Musk&#39;s ability to handle stress complements his high-risk tolerance. This means he doesn&#39;t create any safety nets for himself should he fail. This mindset has given him an edge in his professional life. He&#39;s willing to risk everything-his money, his possessions, his health, and so on-to make his vision a reality. Most people would find what Elon Musk risks to be extremely stressful, but Musk sees it as necessary in order to achieve his goals. He&#39;s willing to invest all of his time and money into his businesses for the possibility of even bigger gains.&#34;</blockquote><p>So why does this matter to a thesis on Tesla stock? Because Elon is far from done achieving his future reality, so he will continue to reinvest in his goals and vision until they are reached. Elon will push himself and his employees to new heights of success. It is this intensity in drive and the company&#39;s proven track record of execution, that will allow Tesla to continue to obtain the best talent in the world. Did you know after Tesla&#39;s first AI Day in August 2021, Tesla&#39;s AI applicants rose 100xthe following week after the event? We will talk more about Tesla&#39;s excellence in creating a brand awareness and customer experience later.</p><p>2. Vertical Integration and Max Manufacturing Efficiencies</p><p>The vertical integration of the Tesla Gigafactories has created more efficiencies than any other car manufacturer, but will not be fully realized until peak production is reached at each location. This will take time, as Elon&#39;s goal is to have each factory producing 1.5 million to 2 million cars per year. The primary long-term goal for Elon for the automobile portion of the company is to reach 20 million vehicles annually by 2030, which could require at least a dozen factories total. So for any investors that think they missed the boat on getting massive returns on Tesla, they may be misinformed.</p><p>Currently, Tesla is projecting for 1.5 million vehicles created and delivered by the end of 2022, which will require a record pace, flawless execution, and no more Shanghai shutdowns for COVID to accomplish this. In my opinion, it appears to reach that goal of 1.5 million vehicles is not fully in Elon&#39;s control with possible future Shanghai lockdowns, but only time will tell to see what happens. The stock has been rewarded and punished depending if commitments of vehicle deliveries are missed. However, this is where I believe the media and investors can lose perspective.</p><p>During the previous quarter, Tesla delivered 254,695 vehicles which was 96.4% to the estimates Wall Street expected. This was with its fastest producing plant in Shanghai being shut down for most of the quarter due to COVID lockdowns and supply chain challenges globally. The way Elon and his teams have navigated COVID, supply chain disruptions, and semiconductor challenges has been exceptional in my opinion. The question I ask myself is not &#39;will Tesla hit its quarterly commitment goal of deliveries?,&#39; but &#39;do I believe the company can reach remotely close to the ambitious 20 million vehicle goal in 2030?&#39; And my answer is most definitely, because I believe Tesla&#39;s efficiencies and optimizations continue to improve with each factory that is created and we will not always have these current supply chain disruptions occurring.</p><p>There are other questions that I must ask myself that are important to the thesis, that I will cover in our next section as well.</p><p>Before We Continue, What Risks Must We Weigh?</p><p>I believe these top five factors investors should consider in their thesis about Tesla make it much easier to invest in the stock. However, we have to look at both sides of the potential investment. What could go wrong? Are there any thesis breakers that exist within Tesla or could happen in the future?</p><p>My biggest thesis breaker would be if something happened to Elon Musk and he was no longer the CEO of Tesla. Whether Elon were to step down from Tesla and be forced to buy Twitter (TWTR), or only focus on SpaceX, this would be a game changer for the worst. I do not find any high probability of any of these things happening, but one cannot predict the future either. We have also lost other great CEOs and innovators of our time, way before we thought would happen, for example Steve Jobs. I do believe Elon has a strong executive leadership team alongside him, but this would make any shareholder stop in their tracks if Elon was not at the helm.</p><p>Another short-term headwind that could impact the stock is if China were to push Tesla out of the country and take a more domestic approach, due to political tensions between the U.S. and China. China is making more traction with all the different domestic EV companies growing deliveries annually. A particular winner in the Chinese EV market is BYD (OTCPK: BYDDY) who completed the most deliveries in China, at 162,000 in the month of July. I believe Tesla being forced out of China is also unlikely, for the following reasons.</p><ol><li><p>Elon has never taken a political stance against the Chinese government, and recognizes the Chinese EV market as a formidable competitor.</p></li><li><p>China is the highest annual emitter of greenhouse gases and mercury. EVs are highly needed in China, to the point there is an extra tax citizens pay to have an ICE vehicle.</p></li><li><p>Tesla still generates the second most deliveries for EVs in China, so demand is still high by consumers.</p></li></ol><p>The other short-term headwinds that could impact Tesla&#39;s stock would be if it missed its annual delivery goal of 1.5 million vehicles in 2022. This is a real possibility due to the lack of ramp the Berlin and Austin Gigafactories have achieved, and more potential Shanghai lockdowns.</p><p>Lastly, if Elon Musk was forced to purchase Twitter, then this could cause less short-term focus on running Tesla. Once again, I do not believe this will be a high probability, but investors should be aware of all these potential risks.</p><p>3. The Innovation of Tesla and Revenue Optionality</p><p>Besides Tesla possibly reaching its mass delivery goal of 20 million vehicles 2030, there are other innovations and revenue streams I foresee with the company. I believe if Elon only delivers on one or two of these questions below, Tesla will be able to exceed all expectations of institutional investors, as they are not factoring these possibilities into their valuations.</p><ul><li>Can Tesla create new vehicles that attract new buyers and expand customer adoption?</li><li>Can Tesla achieve autonomous driving and possible robotaxi services? And what revenue opportunities could this bring?</li><li>Will the humanoid Optimus robot ever make a meaningful revenue impact to Tesla?</li><li>Will Tesla be able grow its solar panel and battery storage business into a larger part of the business?</li><li>Could Tesla create new synergies between Starlink, Tesla Vehicles, and the edge compute the Dojo architecture could provide?</li></ul><p>Tesla is currently creating new vehicles that will attract new buyers. It has been working on having the Cybertruck available by the end of 2023, which would open the number one vehicle spot in the United States to Tesla. Whenever this moment does happen, there will be a whole new set of customers coming to own a Tesla Cybertruck. The revenue in the pickup trucks market segment in the US is projected to finish the year at $78.46 billion and reach $85.17 billion by 2026. Tesla is also working on a Model-2 vehicle that will be closer to the $25,000 price point, but dates for this release will be years in the future.</p><p>The company also has a Tesla Semi that will be coming out towards the end of 2022, which will be another revenue stream not factored in. The Tesla Semi could compete against other electric vehicle semi-transportation companies like Embark (EMBK) for future autonomous trucking business. This is a zero-emissions freight-hauling cargo machine that will average over 500 miles before it needs to charge. Once autonomous driving does occur, this will change the trucking industry forever, and make it where the trucker may drive the last mile or two and then do the unloading of the shipments. A lot more possibilities in revenue and new partnerships for Tesla in my opinion.</p><p>Tesla currently had to raise costs of its Full-Self Driving (&#34;FSD&#34;) mode 25% to $15,000 annually. I do not anticipate this always costing this much but being a feature drivers do not want to give up, once they use it. I wouldn&#39;t know where to begin on calculating the value of robotaxis and full autonomous driving on all Teslas, but Elon has stated that many people are underestimating the value it will unlock from even a monetary perspective.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/870a33299399061807157aa29a92a775\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"184\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Tesla Bot (Tesla.com/AI)</p><p>One of the most exciting revenue possibilities is the Optimus Tesla Bot. A humanoid robot that could be used for manufacturing plants and laborious work and repetitive tasks that could accelerate time to value for businesses and help with labor shortages. It was shocking for most to hear Elon say he believes this could be the most valuable thing Tesla creates. Many investors are skeptical of this being able to actually provide enough value to replace human workers in factories and be able to be created at scale. However, coming from an investor who just started owning the stock a year ago and immersing himself in the history of the company and Elon, I say, &#34;Don&#39;t Underestimate Elon in the Long Run&#34;. He may be off on his timelines sometimes, but overall he has done many unthinkable accomplishments, and this could be his next.</p><p>An already growing revenue stream that is separate of the automobile segment is Tesla&#39;s solar panel and battery storage business. Power grid outages are becoming more common and impacting costs to businesses and consumers. As the transition to renewable energy occurs, high performing battery storage will be crucial to solve for intermittent energy spikes with solar and wind. Tesla continues to grow its energy storage deployments and sold last year15% of the 25GWh global market energy storage.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b117066e75c5e8798f353dc249ca0d1e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"361\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Reported Electrical Disturbances in the U.S. (Tesla 2021 Impact Report)</p><p>This past August, over 3,500 homes with Tesla Powerwalls were able to connect to each other via the app, sell excess power and push up 24MW of power back to the power grid as one entity, to help reduce stress to the grid. This is just another example of the innovation and capabilities the other car competitors do not have in their wheelhouse.</p><p>The last question is one of more speculation but one to ponder on. As you know Tesla has created Dojo, one of the world&#39;s fastest AI Supercomputers, and the Dojo CPU architecture provides massive computation at scale. What if this computation could be moved to the edge, and if every Tesla had a Dojo CPU in it, could this compute power be accessed all at once when cars are not on the road? Essentially allowing owners to rent out the compute capabilities of their car, to a Tesla cloud or &#34;neural network&#34; of compute for others to use.</p><p>This would be similar to the virtual power plant example we examined earlier. Hyperscalers such as AWS (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Google (GOOG) make a lot of margins and revenue out of the convenience they provide businesses by allowing them flexibility to spin up &amp; spin down the CPU and storage when needed. What if Tesla could do this at the edge?</p><p>If Tesla could pull something off like this and create a more efficient way to do compute at the edge vs. centralized clouds, this would take serious market share away from players moving forward like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and GCP. I believe the Dojo architecture could be a much bigger part of future product releases and revenue streams from Tesla.</p><p>It just seems to me there are more possibilities &amp; future synergies between Elon&#39;s companies and products like Tesla, Starlink, Neurolink, SpaceX, and The Boring Company. Even if I am way off base here, I feel the other revenue streams and innovations will yield well for Tesla.</p><p>4. The Focus on Customer Experience and Brand Awareness</p><p>Tesla has demonstrated its focus on customer experience and brand awareness flawlessly over the years and continues to improve. Think about the risk and contrarian act Elon took with not working with dealerships and middlemen in their business model. Instead, he chose a direct to consumer business model and very few show stores globally, compared to the amount dealerships that exist for competition to sell their cars. Elon was so focused on the customer experience of owning and driving a Tesla being superb that the customer would be the marketing for the company. The Go-to-Market strategy for Tesla is the product executing exactly to users&#39; expectations and delivering such an experience that drivers want to tell everyone about it. That is a big bet to make that is opposite to every other competitor in the industry.</p><p>Tesla is also unique in that 100% of its cars that are in the United States are made in the United States, where the average for all other competitors is 52%. That is amazing in my opinion that the company can have 100% made-in-America cars and still deliver14.6% operating margins last quarter, making it the fourth highest in the industry. This is another result from the vertical integration manufacturing that Tesla uses. An example would be its single-piece casting which reduces weight, simplifies the factory, increases ride quality, and reduces road noise. This single-piece rear casting in the Model Y replaces 70+ underbody parts! The manufacturing excellence and focus on the customer experience in driving a Tesla is unmatched.</p><p>There is a reason Hertz signed a 100,000-vehicle deal with Tesla and another 50,000 for selling Tesla cars to Uber. The software platform and updates that Tesla delivers will not be matched by traditional competitors, in my opinion. Here are just a few of the customer experience features that Tesla delivers to its owners and most of these features were created from customer requests reaching out directly to Elon and Tesla on Twitter. The customers&#39; Tesla car experience objectively gets better than when they first purchased it. Now that is a first in the industry!</p><ul><li><b>Tesla Dog Mode</b>- which locks the doors of the car and keeps the AC on with a message on the dashboard screen saying, don&#39;t worry I am okay, my owner will return shortly, and shows the temperature of the car.</li><li><b>Tesla Video Dash Cam Capture Mode</b>- Can save footage of up to 10 minutes from when a user hits their honk button, to see things like a hit and run or accident etc.</li><li><b>Tesla Sentry Mode</b>- If someone tried to break into the Tesla, it records the video and this feature is triggered upon someone getting trying to break in or just getting too close to the car for elongated time.</li><li><b>The Tesla Entertainment system</b>- A fun use case for the Tesla owner who can watch their Netflix or Hulu streaming, or play videogames etc.</li><li><b>Tesla Vent Mode</b>- Users are always notified about the temperature inside the car and you can drop the windows to level out the temperature in the car. It now also automatically rolls up your windows when you forget to, when leaving the car unattended.</li><li><b>Upgrades to the Software OS to activate Full-Self Driving Mode</b>- in just a 2-minute download the customer is able to start using the FSD feature, if they pay the annual $15,000 subscription.</li><li><b>A HEPA Air Filter in the Model Y, S, and X</b>- Removes greater than 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria, and any other airborne particles. (The video in this demonstration vs. a standard car HEPA filter is eye-opening.)</li></ul><ul><li><b>The Tesla App</b>- Allows a full breakdown of the charging history of the car and how much gas savings the customer has received. It also allows the car to melt snow and ice off the car remotely. The Tesla Solar Roof does this as well, which I am sure those in the northeast appreciate.</li><li><b>Tesla Car Insurance</b>- In certain states, which helps reduce the cost of insurance for users. I believe this will be a big revenue driver long term.</li><li><b>Tesla Higher Safety Rating</b>- Cars are statistically safer vehicles when using Autopilot. In the Q1 2021, Autopilot was approaching a 10x lower chance of an accident than an average vehicle.</li><li><b>Tesla Supercharger Destination GPS</b>- Drivers can enter their destination and their Tesla will automatically include Supercharging stops in their route.</li></ul><p>5. Financial Fortitude and Optimization</p><p>Elon Musk is aligned with the success of his customers, shareholders, and employees. After all that stock selling that the media made a big deal about, Elon is still the number one shareholder at nearly 15%. I believe Elon and his leadership staff make nearly every business decision with long-term optimization and financial fortitude in mind.</p><p>An example of this was the approach to single-piece casting and other efficiencies within the Gigafactory workflows. Once all four Gigafactories reach a capacity of 1.5 million units per year, with the average sales price for a vehicle at $53,000, and operating margins staying flat at 15.7% operating margins (which they won&#39;t), Tesla would net nearly $50 billion in operating profits annually. Show me another automobile maker that has the manufacturing optimizations and business model that would deliver those kinds of profits.</p><p>It is interesting how the 33 analysts that cover Tesla stock today have an average price rating of $308 a share, which is essentially flat from where it is today. Tesla&#39;s analysts currently forecast the company to generate over $85 billion in revenue. They also have anticipated annual growth rates on earnings declining from its previous 5-year average of 80.7% to a mere 20%. This illustrates to me a major disconnect how some investors are measuring the company and what their growth expectations are for the future. I believe the operating margins and revenues only compound more with improved delivery rates, more factories being created, and the improvement in technology like the 4680 batteries.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a0b446d15d4de95291747d811670da1\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"454\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Tesla Financials from Simply Wall St.</p><p>Tesla is the 6th largest market cap company in the world and yet it has a junk bond rating, even with the large amount of cash and low debt it has. Tesla reduced its debt to equity ratio over the last 5 years from 122.5% to a simple 8.4%. I believe as many other investors that Tesla will finally get re-rated as a blue chip stock credit rating which would open up a large number of institutional investors, that have not been able to participate in owning Tesla, due to credit restrictions on who they own. Currently there is only a 46.5% percent of ownership in total Tesla shares by institutions.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fd8790d4ec98026799917c9d0008f5b9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"283\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Shareholder Percentages (Simply Wall St. )</p><p>Tesla continues to attract the top talent and retain them which will only further drive innovation and new optimizations for the company. In 2021, the company received 3 million job applications and has created in the last 10 years over 100,000 direct new jobs. Not only does Tesla attract the top talent, but it builds a culture within that rewards them from a compensation perspective, mission perspective, and promotion from within. Over 70% of Tesla&#39;s leadership team is promoted from within the company, and just in 2021, the global headcount at Tesla increased over 40%.</p><p>Tesla has reached a new trajectory point in its journey and is one of the few companies that are challenged with over-demand from its customers, not over-supply in inventory. Tesla has a strong balance sheet and business model with nearly $19 billion in cash and only $3.2 billion in debt and generating consistent free-cash flow. I believe these five things that I outlined that investors should not ignore will be what propel Tesla to thrive in the current market, and reach new heights in the long run.

It is these areas of strength that have drawn me into becoming a long-term investor in Tesla. These areas of strength very rarely get examined in my opinion and some are hard to put a quantifiable value on. However, when I invest in companies, these are some of the most important areas of a business I examine. After doing my research on Tesla, I went from owning zero shares a year ago to making Tesla one of my top five holdings. So now let's dive into these five areas of strength that Tesla maintains and should not be ignored by investors.1. The Drive of Co-Founder and CEO Elon Musk:Now I know what you may be thinking right after this subtitle, \"Elon wasn't the Founder of Tesla,\" so let us begin there. In 2009, what was Tesla Motors at the time announced an agreement after a lawsuit from co-founder Martin Eberhard, that there were five founders of Tesla not two. Elon Musk was one of those five, who was CEO and chief product architect at the time and now labeled as Technoking of Tesla, a.k.a. CEO.The drive of Elon's entrepreneurial and visionary spirit, I believe is not appreciated enough in the market. If Elon Musk doesn't risk everything, including his personal life, money, time, and health, then we would never have an entire automobile industry putting efforts into building electric vehicles. We would not have reusable rockets going through space or space exploration for consumers.I love these excerpts from the book\"Elon Musk\" by Ashlee Vance, as this sums it up perfectly.\"His willingness to make large personal investments is what sets him apart from other entrepreneurs and makes him so successful. Musk's ability to handle stress complements his high-risk tolerance. This means he doesn't create any safety nets for himself should he fail. This mindset has given him an edge in his professional life. He's willing to risk everything-his money, his possessions, his health, and so on-to make his vision a reality. Most people would find what Elon Musk risks to be extremely stressful, but Musk sees it as necessary in order to achieve his goals. He's willing to invest all of his time and money into his businesses for the possibility of even bigger gains.\"So why does this matter to a thesis on Tesla stock? Because Elon is far from done achieving his future reality, so he will continue to reinvest in his goals and vision until they are reached. Elon will push himself and his employees to new heights of success. It is this intensity in drive and the company's proven track record of execution, that will allow Tesla to continue to obtain the best talent in the world. Did you know after Tesla's first AI Day in August 2021, Tesla's AI applicants rose 100xthe following week after the event? We will talk more about Tesla's excellence in creating a brand awareness and customer experience later.2. Vertical Integration and Max Manufacturing EfficienciesThe vertical integration of the Tesla Gigafactories has created more efficiencies than any other car manufacturer, but will not be fully realized until peak production is reached at each location. This will take time, as Elon's goal is to have each factory producing 1.5 million to 2 million cars per year. The primary long-term goal for Elon for the automobile portion of the company is to reach 20 million vehicles annually by 2030, which could require at least a dozen factories total. So for any investors that think they missed the boat on getting massive returns on Tesla, they may be misinformed.Currently, Tesla is projecting for 1.5 million vehicles created and delivered by the end of 2022, which will require a record pace, flawless execution, and no more Shanghai shutdowns for COVID to accomplish this. In my opinion, it appears to reach that goal of 1.5 million vehicles is not fully in Elon's control with possible future Shanghai lockdowns, but only time will tell to see what happens. The stock has been rewarded and punished depending if commitments of vehicle deliveries are missed. However, this is where I believe the media and investors can lose perspective.During the previous quarter, Tesla delivered 254,695 vehicles which was 96.4% to the estimates Wall Street expected. This was with its fastest producing plant in Shanghai being shut down for most of the quarter due to COVID lockdowns and supply chain challenges globally. The way Elon and his teams have navigated COVID, supply chain disruptions, and semiconductor challenges has been exceptional in my opinion. The question I ask myself is not 'will Tesla hit its quarterly commitment goal of deliveries?,' but 'do I believe the company can reach remotely close to the ambitious 20 million vehicle goal in 2030?' And my answer is most definitely, because I believe Tesla's efficiencies and optimizations continue to improve with each factory that is created and we will not always have these current supply chain disruptions occurring.There are other questions that I must ask myself that are important to the thesis, that I will cover in our next section as well.Before We Continue, What Risks Must We Weigh?I believe these top five factors investors should consider in their thesis about Tesla make it much easier to invest in the stock. However, we have to look at both sides of the potential investment. What could go wrong? Are there any thesis breakers that exist within Tesla or could happen in the future?My biggest thesis breaker would be if something happened to Elon Musk and he was no longer the CEO of Tesla. Whether Elon were to step down from Tesla and be forced to buy Twitter (TWTR), or only focus on SpaceX, this would be a game changer for the worst. I do not find any high probability of any of these things happening, but one cannot predict the future either. We have also lost other great CEOs and innovators of our time, way before we thought would happen, for example Steve Jobs. I do believe Elon has a strong executive leadership team alongside him, but this would make any shareholder stop in their tracks if Elon was not at the helm.Another short-term headwind that could impact the stock is if China were to push Tesla out of the country and take a more domestic approach, due to political tensions between the U.S. and China. China is making more traction with all the different domestic EV companies growing deliveries annually. A particular winner in the Chinese EV market is BYD (OTCPK: BYDDY) who completed the most deliveries in China, at 162,000 in the month of July. I believe Tesla being forced out of China is also unlikely, for the following reasons.Elon has never taken a political stance against the Chinese government, and recognizes the Chinese EV market as a formidable competitor.China is the highest annual emitter of greenhouse gases and mercury. EVs are highly needed in China, to the point there is an extra tax citizens pay to have an ICE vehicle.Tesla still generates the second most deliveries for EVs in China, so demand is still high by consumers.The other short-term headwinds that could impact Tesla's stock would be if it missed its annual delivery goal of 1.5 million vehicles in 2022. This is a real possibility due to the lack of ramp the Berlin and Austin Gigafactories have achieved, and more potential Shanghai lockdowns.Lastly, if Elon Musk was forced to purchase Twitter, then this could cause less short-term focus on running Tesla. Once again, I do not believe this will be a high probability, but investors should be aware of all these potential risks.3. The Innovation of Tesla and Revenue OptionalityBesides Tesla possibly reaching its mass delivery goal of 20 million vehicles 2030, there are other innovations and revenue streams I foresee with the company. I believe if Elon only delivers on one or two of these questions below, Tesla will be able to exceed all expectations of institutional investors, as they are not factoring these possibilities into their valuations.Can Tesla create new vehicles that attract new buyers and expand customer adoption?Can Tesla achieve autonomous driving and possible robotaxi services? And what revenue opportunities could this bring?Will the humanoid Optimus robot ever make a meaningful revenue impact to Tesla?Will Tesla be able grow its solar panel and battery storage business into a larger part of the business?Could Tesla create new synergies between Starlink, Tesla Vehicles, and the edge compute the Dojo architecture could provide?Tesla is currently creating new vehicles that will attract new buyers. It has been working on having the Cybertruck available by the end of 2023, which would open the number one vehicle spot in the United States to Tesla. Whenever this moment does happen, there will be a whole new set of customers coming to own a Tesla Cybertruck. The revenue in the pickup trucks market segment in the US is projected to finish the year at $78.46 billion and reach $85.17 billion by 2026. Tesla is also working on a Model-2 vehicle that will be closer to the $25,000 price point, but dates for this release will be years in the future.The company also has a Tesla Semi that will be coming out towards the end of 2022, which will be another revenue stream not factored in. The Tesla Semi could compete against other electric vehicle semi-transportation companies like Embark (EMBK) for future autonomous trucking business. This is a zero-emissions freight-hauling cargo machine that will average over 500 miles before it needs to charge. Once autonomous driving does occur, this will change the trucking industry forever, and make it where the trucker may drive the last mile or two and then do the unloading of the shipments. A lot more possibilities in revenue and new partnerships for Tesla in my opinion.Tesla currently had to raise costs of its Full-Self Driving (\"FSD\") mode 25% to $15,000 annually. I do not anticipate this always costing this much but being a feature drivers do not want to give up, once they use it. I wouldn't know where to begin on calculating the value of robotaxis and full autonomous driving on all Teslas, but Elon has stated that many people are underestimating the value it will unlock from even a monetary perspective.Tesla Bot (Tesla.com/AI)One of the most exciting revenue possibilities is the Optimus Tesla Bot. A humanoid robot that could be used for manufacturing plants and laborious work and repetitive tasks that could accelerate time to value for businesses and help with labor shortages. It was shocking for most to hear Elon say he believes this could be the most valuable thing Tesla creates. Many investors are skeptical of this being able to actually provide enough value to replace human workers in factories and be able to be created at scale. However, coming from an investor who just started owning the stock a year ago and immersing himself in the history of the company and Elon, I say, \"Don't Underestimate Elon in the Long Run\". He may be off on his timelines sometimes, but overall he has done many unthinkable accomplishments, and this could be his next.An already growing revenue stream that is separate of the automobile segment is Tesla's solar panel and battery storage business. Power grid outages are becoming more common and impacting costs to businesses and consumers. As the transition to renewable energy occurs, high performing battery storage will be crucial to solve for intermittent energy spikes with solar and wind. Tesla continues to grow its energy storage deployments and sold last year15% of the 25GWh global market energy storage.Reported Electrical Disturbances in the U.S. (Tesla 2021 Impact Report)This past August, over 3,500 homes with Tesla Powerwalls were able to connect to each other via the app, sell excess power and push up 24MW of power back to the power grid as one entity, to help reduce stress to the grid. This is just another example of the innovation and capabilities the other car competitors do not have in their wheelhouse.The last question is one of more speculation but one to ponder on. As you know Tesla has created Dojo, one of the world's fastest AI Supercomputers, and the Dojo CPU architecture provides massive computation at scale. What if this computation could be moved to the edge, and if every Tesla had a Dojo CPU in it, could this compute power be accessed all at once when cars are not on the road? Essentially allowing owners to rent out the compute capabilities of their car, to a Tesla cloud or \"neural network\" of compute for others to use.This would be similar to the virtual power plant example we examined earlier. Hyperscalers such as AWS (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Google (GOOG) make a lot of margins and revenue out of the convenience they provide businesses by allowing them flexibility to spin up & spin down the CPU and storage when needed. What if Tesla could do this at the edge?If Tesla could pull something off like this and create a more efficient way to do compute at the edge vs. centralized clouds, this would take serious market share away from players moving forward like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and GCP. I believe the Dojo architecture could be a much bigger part of future product releases and revenue streams from Tesla.It just seems to me there are more possibilities & future synergies between Elon's companies and products like Tesla, Starlink, Neurolink, SpaceX, and The Boring Company. Even if I am way off base here, I feel the other revenue streams and innovations will yield well for Tesla.4. The Focus on Customer Experience and Brand AwarenessTesla has demonstrated its focus on customer experience and brand awareness flawlessly over the years and continues to improve. Think about the risk and contrarian act Elon took with not working with dealerships and middlemen in their business model. Instead, he chose a direct to consumer business model and very few show stores globally, compared to the amount dealerships that exist for competition to sell their cars. Elon was so focused on the customer experience of owning and driving a Tesla being superb that the customer would be the marketing for the company. The Go-to-Market strategy for Tesla is the product executing exactly to users' expectations and delivering such an experience that drivers want to tell everyone about it. That is a big bet to make that is opposite to every other competitor in the industry.Tesla is also unique in that 100% of its cars that are in the United States are made in the United States, where the average for all other competitors is 52%. That is amazing in my opinion that the company can have 100% made-in-America cars and still deliver14.6% operating margins last quarter, making it the fourth highest in the industry. This is another result from the vertical integration manufacturing that Tesla uses. An example would be its single-piece casting which reduces weight, simplifies the factory, increases ride quality, and reduces road noise. This single-piece rear casting in the Model Y replaces 70+ underbody parts! The manufacturing excellence and focus on the customer experience in driving a Tesla is unmatched.There is a reason Hertz signed a 100,000-vehicle deal with Tesla and another 50,000 for selling Tesla cars to Uber. The software platform and updates that Tesla delivers will not be matched by traditional competitors, in my opinion. Here are just a few of the customer experience features that Tesla delivers to its owners and most of these features were created from customer requests reaching out directly to Elon and Tesla on Twitter. The customers' Tesla car experience objectively gets better than when they first purchased it. Now that is a first in the industry!Tesla Dog Mode- which locks the doors of the car and keeps the AC on with a message on the dashboard screen saying, don't worry I am okay, my owner will return shortly, and shows the temperature of the car.Tesla Video Dash Cam Capture Mode- Can save footage of up to 10 minutes from when a user hits their honk button, to see things like a hit and run or accident etc.Tesla Sentry Mode- If someone tried to break into the Tesla, it records the video and this feature is triggered upon someone getting trying to break in or just getting too close to the car for elongated time.The Tesla Entertainment system- A fun use case for the Tesla owner who can watch their Netflix or Hulu streaming, or play videogames etc.Tesla Vent Mode- Users are always notified about the temperature inside the car and you can drop the windows to level out the temperature in the car. It now also automatically rolls up your windows when you forget to, when leaving the car unattended.Upgrades to the Software OS to activate Full-Self Driving Mode- in just a 2-minute download the customer is able to start using the FSD feature, if they pay the annual $15,000 subscription.A HEPA Air Filter in the Model Y, S, and X- Removes greater than 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria, and any other airborne particles. (The video in this demonstration vs. a standard car HEPA filter is eye-opening.)The Tesla App- Allows a full breakdown of the charging history of the car and how much gas savings the customer has received. It also allows the car to melt snow and ice off the car remotely. The Tesla Solar Roof does this as well, which I am sure those in the northeast appreciate.Tesla Car Insurance- In certain states, which helps reduce the cost of insurance for users. I believe this will be a big revenue driver long term.Tesla Higher Safety Rating- Cars are statistically safer vehicles when using Autopilot. In the Q1 2021, Autopilot was approaching a 10x lower chance of an accident than an average vehicle.Tesla Supercharger Destination GPS- Drivers can enter their destination and their Tesla will automatically include Supercharging stops in their route.5. Financial Fortitude and OptimizationElon Musk is aligned with the success of his customers, shareholders, and employees. After all that stock selling that the media made a big deal about, Elon is still the number one shareholder at nearly 15%. I believe Elon and his leadership staff make nearly every business decision with long-term optimization and financial fortitude in mind.An example of this was the approach to single-piece casting and other efficiencies within the Gigafactory workflows. Once all four Gigafactories reach a capacity of 1.5 million units per year, with the average sales price for a vehicle at $53,000, and operating margins staying flat at 15.7% operating margins (which they won't), Tesla would net nearly $50 billion in operating profits annually. Show me another automobile maker that has the manufacturing optimizations and business model that would deliver those kinds of profits.It is interesting how the 33 analysts that cover Tesla stock today have an average price rating of $308 a share, which is essentially flat from where it is today. Tesla's analysts currently forecast the company to generate over $85 billion in revenue. They also have anticipated annual growth rates on earnings declining from its previous 5-year average of 80.7% to a mere 20%. This illustrates to me a major disconnect how some investors are measuring the company and what their growth expectations are for the future. I believe the operating margins and revenues only compound more with improved delivery rates, more factories being created, and the improvement in technology like the 4680 batteries.Tesla Financials from Simply Wall St.Tesla is the 6th largest market cap company in the world and yet it has a junk bond rating, even with the large amount of cash and low debt it has. Tesla reduced its debt to equity ratio over the last 5 years from 122.5% to a simple 8.4%. I believe as many other investors that Tesla will finally get re-rated as a blue chip stock credit rating which would open up a large number of institutional investors, that have not been able to participate in owning Tesla, due to credit restrictions on who they own. Currently there is only a 46.5% percent of ownership in total Tesla shares by institutions.Shareholder Percentages (Simply Wall St. )Tesla continues to attract the top talent and retain them which will only further drive innovation and new optimizations for the company. In 2021, the company received 3 million job applications and has created in the last 10 years over 100,000 direct new jobs. Not only does Tesla attract the top talent, but it builds a culture within that rewards them from a compensation perspective, mission perspective, and promotion from within. Over 70% of Tesla's leadership team is promoted from within the company, and just in 2021, the global headcount at Tesla increased over 40%.Tesla has reached a new trajectory point in its journey and is one of the few companies that are challenged with over-demand from its customers, not over-supply in inventory. Tesla has a strong balance sheet and business model with nearly $19 billion in cash and only $3.2 billion in debt and generating consistent free-cash flow. I believe these five things that I outlined that investors should not ignore will be what propel Tesla to thrive in the current market, and reach new heights in the long run.

Among the most discussed measures in the bill is a change to the electric vehicle (“EV”)tax credit. Under previous rules, a company would lose its eligibility for EV credits after selling its 200,000th car. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) crossed the 200,000 car threshold in 2018, and its tax credits were phased out over three years. By early 2022, Teslas were no longer eligible for the tax credit.</p><p>With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, that has changed. The current version of the act, which will be debated by the House of Representatives this week, removes the 200,000 car limit for credit eligibility. Now, buyers of some Tesla models can enjoy the full $7,500 credit toward the purchase of their vehicles. There are some limits to this – the credit applies to sedans up to $55,000 and SUVs up to $80,000– but many Teslas will be eligible. The EV tax credit notably requires that the vehicle&#39;s battery be40% sourced from the U.S. or allies- Tesla&#39;s Model S meets this standard, most competitors&#39; offerings don&#39;t.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c4475ae62d8d2254828c81b2e64dc19b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"214\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Tesla Model 3 meets the standard, most don&#39;t(roadandtrack.com)</p><p>This is great news for a company that some say was built on government subsidies. Many of Elon Musk’s critics allege that Tesla has been taking enormous amounts of government assistance over the years. When we dig into the details, we see that Tesla did benefit from the EV tax credit in its early days. Furthermore, it benefits from similar credits in other countries today. The point about Tesla’s reliance on tax breaks can be overstated, but there’s no doubt that when a consumer gets a tax break for buying an EV, they’re more likely to buy one.</p><p>Given that Tesla has the most brand awareness of all the major EV companies, it benefits from consumers being incentivized to buy EVs. According to a 2018 Energy Policy article, every $1,000 in EV credits leads to a 2.6% increase in EV sales. With Tesla having a large share of the U.S. EV market, it’s likely to gain revenue from the revamped tax credit. This credit could therefore serve as a catalyst improving Tesla’s business performance in the second half. However, as I’ll demonstrate shortly, this catalyst alone doesn’t automatically make the stock a great value.</p><p><b>How the EV Tax Credit Works</b></p><p>To understand how the revamped EV tax credit helps Tesla, we need to know how the credit works. The EV tax credit has been around in some form since 2009, having been announced in 2008’s Energy Improvement and Extension Act. The way credit works has changed since it was first introduced.</p><p>The way the credit originally worked was like this:</p><p>Every electric vehicle got a base credit of $2,500. A person buying any EV would get $2,500 plus an extra $417 per kilowatt-hour of battery capacity. For passenger cars, this increase in credits continued up until $7,500 worth of tax credits were earned. Any American who bought an EV would get to claim this credit on their taxes and deduct the appropriate percentage of $7,500 from their income.</p><p>The EV tax credit also had a cap on how many cars a manufacturer could sell and still be eligible for the credit. Once a manufacturer surpassed 200,000 cars sold in the United States, their tax credits would be phased out over three years. Tesla hit the 200,000 car milestone in 2008. Its tax credits were phased out on the schedule shown below:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61a30d4a86130928bc8262cb7df92850\" tg-width=\"872\" tg-height=\"298\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Tesla&#39;s EV credit phase out(Tesla)</p><p>As the table above shows, all of the credits on Tesla models S, X and 3 were phased out by the end of 2019. This was where things stood for most of the last two years: Teslas weren’t eligible for the credit. Technically, this is still the case, but the Inflation Reduction Act looks quite likely to pass. The Act passed 51-50 in the Senate, and is heading to the House of Representatives for review this week. If it passes, then Teslas will be eligible for the EV tax credit once more. The version of the Act that passed in the Senate puts no cap on how many EVs a manufacturer can sell, so not only will Tesla buyers get the credit again, they’ll continue to get it indefinitely. To top it off: there are Tesla models that meet the act&#39;s strict sourcing requirements, while many competitors&#39; offerings don&#39;t make the grade.</p><p><b>Business Implications</b></p><p>Tesla regaining the EV tax credit has important business implications. Academic research suggests that every $1,000 worth of EV tax credits drives a2.6% increase in EV sales. As an example, if we have a country where 100,000 EVs are being sold per year, then adding a $1,000 credit increases sales to 102,600. The higher the dollar value of the credit, the more the sales increase. The research I’m citing doesn’t say whether the effect increases linearly or compounds with the size of the credit. If the effect is linear, then a $7,500 credit would increase the number of vehicles sold by 19,500. If it compounds, then it adds 21,228 extra sales. Either way, we should see a significant boost in sales from a $7,500 tax credit.</p><p>Furthermore, we would expect Tesla to gain from this disproportionately. Many of Tesla’s competitors haven’t shipped 200,000 cars yet, but Tesla has.<b>Lucid</b>(LCID) is aiming for14,000 cumulative deliveries by year’s end, <b>Ford</b>(F) has sold 37,000 or so, <b>Rivian</b>(RIVN) has only delivered a handful of cars to employees. None of these companies are anywhere near the 200,000 deliveries threshold, so they’re getting the credit already. Tesla, on the other hand, passed the threshold in 2018, so it will be eligible for the credit again. Therefore, we’d expect the Inflation Reduction Act to boost Tesla’s sales while leaving its competitors’ sales unchanged.</p><p><b>Tesla’s Valuation</b></p><p>Valuing a company like Tesla is always tough. The company has historically had high growth, which makes estimating its future cash flows difficult. Nevertheless, we can safely assume that, with its tax credits back, Tesla will grow faster than it would have without them. So, we can start by making a projection of Tesla’s revenue and build a discounted cash flow model from there.</p><p>According to Seeking Alpha Quant, Tesla’s five year CAGR revenue growth rate is 46%. The rate in the most recent quarter was 43%. We have indications that the growth rate will slow down. First, the most recent quarterly growth rate is lower than the five year rate. Second, the five year growth rate is only half the 10 year growth rate. It wouldn’t be conservative to assume that TSLA can keep up 43% growth forever. So, I’ll use Valuates Report’s 18.2% CAGR EV industry forecast as my revenue growth estimate. However, to account for the bullish impact of the EV tax credits Tesla is about to get, I’ll add an extra 19.5% on to the first year’s growth. So the first year will see 41.2% growth (1.182 times 1.195), followed by 18.2% growth thereafter. Tesla’s revenue for the trailing 12 month period is $67.1 billion, so we get:</p><ul><li><p>Base year: $67.1B.</p></li><li><p>Year 1: $94.74B.</p></li><li><p>Year 2: $112B.</p></li><li><p>Year 3: $132B.</p></li><li><p>Year 4: $156B.</p></li><li><p>Year 5: $185B.</p></li></ul><p>This gives us an overall CAGR growth rate of 22%. With that established, we can look at costs. Tesla had $48 billion in cost of goods sold (“COGS”) in the last 12 months. COGS scales up directly with revenue so I’ll assume that this portion of costs rises at 22%. Tesla’s operating costs have risen at 20% CAGR over the last five years, so I’ll assume they continue growing at that rate. Tesla’s tax rate in the trailing 12 month period was 10%, but I’ll up that to 15% to account for the new minimum tax included in the Inflation Reduction Act. Finally, I’ll add in non-cash costs at 6% of revenue (the percentage in the trailing 12 month period) to get a model that approximates cash from operations (“CFO”).</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year 1</p></td><td><p>Year 2</p></td><td><p>Year 3</p></td><td><p>Year 4</p></td><td><p>Year 5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Revenue</p></td><td><p>$94.74B</p></td><td><p>$112B</p></td><td><p>$132B</p></td><td><p>$156B</p></td><td><p>$185B</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>COGS</p></td><td><p>$69B</p></td><td><p>$81.6B</p></td><td><p>$96.5B</p></td><td><p>$114B</p></td><td><p>$135B</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Operating costs</p></td><td><p>$8.76B</p></td><td><p>$10.5B</p></td><td><p>$12.6B</p></td><td><p>$15B</p></td><td><p>$18B</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>EBIT</p></td><td><p>$16.98</p></td><td><p>$19.9B</p></td><td><p>$22.9B</p></td><td><p>$27B</p></td><td><p>$32B</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>After tax</p></td><td><p>$14.43B</p></td><td><p>$16.9B</p></td><td><p>$19.46B</p></td><td><p>$22.95B</p></td><td><p>$27.2B</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Non-cash costs (added back in)</p></td><td><p>$5.7B</p></td><td><p>$6.72B</p></td><td><p>$7.9B</p></td><td><p>$9.36B</p></td><td><p>$11.1B</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>CFO</p></td><td><p>$20.13B</p></td><td><p>$23.62B</p></td><td><p>$27.36B</p></td><td><p>$32.31B</p></td><td><p>$38.3B</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Tesla has 1.155 billion shares outstanding, so these CFO figures on a per share basis add up to:</p><ul><li><p>TTM: $12.18.</p></li><li><p>Year 1: $17.42.</p></li><li><p>Year 2: $20.45</p></li><li><p>Year 3: $23.68.</p></li><li><p>Year 4: $27.97.</p></li><li><p>Year 5: $33.16.</p></li></ul><p>So, we get a 22% growth rate in cash flows per share. Using 8% as the discount rate and assuming a 5% perpetual growth rate after five years, we get a fair value of $879. This is only a 3.4% upside to the price at the time of writing ($850), so I conclude that Tesla is fully valued.</p><p><b>The Big Risk to Watch Out For</b></p><p>As I’ve shown in this article, Tesla’s EV tax credit could create a sales spike in the year ahead that gives the stock slight upside to today’s price. Without the sales spike caused by tax credits, my model would have yielded about $825, suggesting slight overvaluation. This stock is trading very close to conservative estimates of fair value, even when you account for the EV tax credit causing sales to spike. The credit is a catalyst, but not a big one, adding only a very slight amount of upside.</p><p>For this reason, Tesla investors are going to want to be on the lookout for one big risk:</p><p><i>Revenue deceleration.</i></p><p>Most industry forecasts have EVs growing at 18 to 22% for the next five years. If Tesla simply grows at that rate then its stock is not worth what it trades for today. You have to assume at least one more year of 40%+ growth to get an intrinsic value estimate for this stock that exceeds its current value. It’s so expensive already that if it grows at 18% for the next five years–a fantastic growth rate in absolute terms–it’s overvalued. The EV tax credit, or a similar catalyst, is needed for the stock to have just a little upside.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Tesla: The EV Tax Credit Is A Huge Catalyst</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\">\nTesla: The EV Tax Credit Is A Huge Catalyst\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-10 23:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4532368-tesla-stock-ev-tax-credit-huge-catalyst?source=content_type%3Areact%7Cfirst_level_url%3Ahome%7Csection%3Aportfolio%7Csection_asset%3Aheadlines%7Cline%3A2><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryRecently the U.S. Senate Passed the Inflation Reduction Act.The act removes the 200,000 unit sales cap for electric vehicle \"EV\" tax credits.The act still has to be passed by the House of ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4532368-tesla-stock-ev-tax-credit-huge-catalyst?source=content_type%3Areact%7Cfirst_level_url%3Ahome%7Csection%3Aportfolio%7Csection_asset%3Aheadlines%7Cline%3A2\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4532368-tesla-stock-ev-tax-credit-huge-catalyst?source=content_type%3Areact%7Cfirst_level_url%3Ahome%7Csection%3Aportfolio%7Csection_asset%3Aheadlines%7Cline%3A2","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1157330995","content_text":"SummaryRecently the U.S. Senate Passed the Inflation Reduction Act.The act removes the 200,000 unit sales cap for electric vehicle \"EV\" tax credits.The act still has to be passed by the House of Representatives to become law.If it passes, it will be a huge catalyst for Tesla, which will once again be eligible for Federal tax credits.Many Tesla models meet the Act's strict U.S. sourcing requirements; most competitors' offerings don't.This past Sunday, the U.S. Senate passed the Inflation Reduction Act, a spending bill containing a variety of climate change related measures. Among the most discussed measures in the bill is a change to the electric vehicle (“EV”)tax credit. Under previous rules, a company would lose its eligibility for EV credits after selling its 200,000th car. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) crossed the 200,000 car threshold in 2018, and its tax credits were phased out over three years. By early 2022, Teslas were no longer eligible for the tax credit.With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, that has changed. The current version of the act, which will be debated by the House of Representatives this week, removes the 200,000 car limit for credit eligibility. Now, buyers of some Tesla models can enjoy the full $7,500 credit toward the purchase of their vehicles. There are some limits to this – the credit applies to sedans up to $55,000 and SUVs up to $80,000– but many Teslas will be eligible. The EV tax credit notably requires that the vehicle's battery be40% sourced from the U.S. or allies- Tesla's Model S meets this standard, most competitors' offerings don't.Tesla Model 3 meets the standard, most don't(roadandtrack.com)This is great news for a company that some say was built on government subsidies. Many of Elon Musk’s critics allege that Tesla has been taking enormous amounts of government assistance over the years. When we dig into the details, we see that Tesla did benefit from the EV tax credit in its early days. Furthermore, it benefits from similar credits in other countries today. The point about Tesla’s reliance on tax breaks can be overstated, but there’s no doubt that when a consumer gets a tax break for buying an EV, they’re more likely to buy one.Given that Tesla has the most brand awareness of all the major EV companies, it benefits from consumers being incentivized to buy EVs. According to a 2018 Energy Policy article, every $1,000 in EV credits leads to a 2.6% increase in EV sales. With Tesla having a large share of the U.S. EV market, it’s likely to gain revenue from the revamped tax credit. This credit could therefore serve as a catalyst improving Tesla’s business performance in the second half. However, as I’ll demonstrate shortly, this catalyst alone doesn’t automatically make the stock a great value.How the EV Tax Credit WorksTo understand how the revamped EV tax credit helps Tesla, we need to know how the credit works. The EV tax credit has been around in some form since 2009, having been announced in 2008’s Energy Improvement and Extension Act. The way credit works has changed since it was first introduced.The way the credit originally worked was like this:Every electric vehicle got a base credit of $2,500. A person buying any EV would get $2,500 plus an extra $417 per kilowatt-hour of battery capacity. For passenger cars, this increase in credits continued up until $7,500 worth of tax credits were earned. Any American who bought an EV would get to claim this credit on their taxes and deduct the appropriate percentage of $7,500 from their income.The EV tax credit also had a cap on how many cars a manufacturer could sell and still be eligible for the credit. Once a manufacturer surpassed 200,000 cars sold in the United States, their tax credits would be phased out over three years. Tesla hit the 200,000 car milestone in 2008. Its tax credits were phased out on the schedule shown below:Tesla's EV credit phase out(Tesla)As the table above shows, all of the credits on Tesla models S, X and 3 were phased out by the end of 2019. This was where things stood for most of the last two years: Teslas weren’t eligible for the credit. Technically, this is still the case, but the Inflation Reduction Act looks quite likely to pass. The Act passed 51-50 in the Senate, and is heading to the House of Representatives for review this week. If it passes, then Teslas will be eligible for the EV tax credit once more. The version of the Act that passed in the Senate puts no cap on how many EVs a manufacturer can sell, so not only will Tesla buyers get the credit again, they’ll continue to get it indefinitely. To top it off: there are Tesla models that meet the act's strict sourcing requirements, while many competitors' offerings don't make the grade.Business ImplicationsTesla regaining the EV tax credit has important business implications. Academic research suggests that every $1,000 worth of EV tax credits drives a2.6% increase in EV sales. As an example, if we have a country where 100,000 EVs are being sold per year, then adding a $1,000 credit increases sales to 102,600. The higher the dollar value of the credit, the more the sales increase. The research I’m citing doesn’t say whether the effect increases linearly or compounds with the size of the credit. If the effect is linear, then a $7,500 credit would increase the number of vehicles sold by 19,500. If it compounds, then it adds 21,228 extra sales. Either way, we should see a significant boost in sales from a $7,500 tax credit.Furthermore, we would expect Tesla to gain from this disproportionately. Many of Tesla’s competitors haven’t shipped 200,000 cars yet, but Tesla has.Lucid(LCID) is aiming for14,000 cumulative deliveries by year’s end, Ford(F) has sold 37,000 or so, Rivian(RIVN) has only delivered a handful of cars to employees. None of these companies are anywhere near the 200,000 deliveries threshold, so they’re getting the credit already. Tesla, on the other hand, passed the threshold in 2018, so it will be eligible for the credit again. Therefore, we’d expect the Inflation Reduction Act to boost Tesla’s sales while leaving its competitors’ sales unchanged.Tesla’s ValuationValuing a company like Tesla is always tough. The company has historically had high growth, which makes estimating its future cash flows difficult. Nevertheless, we can safely assume that, with its tax credits back, Tesla will grow faster than it would have without them. So, we can start by making a projection of Tesla’s revenue and build a discounted cash flow model from there.According to Seeking Alpha Quant, Tesla’s five year CAGR revenue growth rate is 46%. The rate in the most recent quarter was 43%. We have indications that the growth rate will slow down. First, the most recent quarterly growth rate is lower than the five year rate. Second, the five year growth rate is only half the 10 year growth rate. It wouldn’t be conservative to assume that TSLA can keep up 43% growth forever. So, I’ll use Valuates Report’s 18.2% CAGR EV industry forecast as my revenue growth estimate. However, to account for the bullish impact of the EV tax credits Tesla is about to get, I’ll add an extra 19.5% on to the first year’s growth. So the first year will see 41.2% growth (1.182 times 1.195), followed by 18.2% growth thereafter. Tesla’s revenue for the trailing 12 month period is $67.1 billion, so we get:Base year: $67.1B.Year 1: $94.74B.Year 2: $112B.Year 3: $132B.Year 4: $156B.Year 5: $185B.This gives us an overall CAGR growth rate of 22%. With that established, we can look at costs. Tesla had $48 billion in cost of goods sold (“COGS”) in the last 12 months. COGS scales up directly with revenue so I’ll assume that this portion of costs rises at 22%. Tesla’s operating costs have risen at 20% CAGR over the last five years, so I’ll assume they continue growing at that rate. Tesla’s tax rate in the trailing 12 month period was 10%, but I’ll up that to 15% to account for the new minimum tax included in the Inflation Reduction Act. Finally, I’ll add in non-cash costs at 6% of revenue (the percentage in the trailing 12 month period) to get a model that approximates cash from operations (“CFO”).Year 1Year 2Year 3Year 4Year 5Revenue$94.74B$112B$132B$156B$185BCOGS$69B$81.6B$96.5B$114B$135BOperating costs$8.76B$10.5B$12.6B$15B$18BEBIT$16.98$19.9B$22.9B$27B$32BAfter tax$14.43B$16.9B$19.46B$22.95B$27.2BNon-cash costs (added back in)$5.7B$6.72B$7.9B$9.36B$11.1BCFO$20.13B$23.62B$27.36B$32.31B$38.3BTesla has 1.155 billion shares outstanding, so these CFO figures on a per share basis add up to:TTM: $12.18.Year 1: $17.42.Year 2: $20.45Year 3: $23.68.Year 4: $27.97.Year 5: $33.16.So, we get a 22% growth rate in cash flows per share. Using 8% as the discount rate and assuming a 5% perpetual growth rate after five years, we get a fair value of $879. This is only a 3.4% upside to the price at the time of writing ($850), so I conclude that Tesla is fully valued.The Big Risk to Watch Out ForAs I’ve shown in this article, Tesla’s EV tax credit could create a sales spike in the year ahead that gives the stock slight upside to today’s price. Without the sales spike caused by tax credits, my model would have yielded about $825, suggesting slight overvaluation. This stock is trading very close to conservative estimates of fair value, even when you account for the EV tax credit causing sales to spike. The credit is a catalyst, but not a big one, adding only a very slight amount of upside.For this reason, Tesla investors are going to want to be on the lookout for one big risk:Revenue deceleration.Most industry forecasts have EVs growing at 18 to 22% for the next five years. If Tesla simply grows at that rate then its stock is not worth what it trades for today. You have to assume at least one more year of 40%+ growth to get an intrinsic value estimate for this stock that exceeds its current value. It’s so expensive already that if it grows at 18% for the next five years–a fantastic growth rate in absolute terms–it’s overvalued. The EV tax credit, or a similar catalyst, is needed for the stock to have just a little upside.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":38,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9036967772,"gmtCreate":1646965132984,"gmtModify":1676534182566,"author":{"id":"3576401458285275","authorId":"3576401458285275","name":"Huitai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be4eb3604e496ba474ae6df683a3ed25","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Stuck already neither way also losses&nbsp;","listText":"Stuck already neither way also losses&nbsp;","text":"Stuck already neither way also losses","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9036967772","repostId":"1119275067","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":127,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":154348555,"gmtCreate":1625484210277,"gmtModify":1703742503592,"author":{"id":"3576401458285275","authorId":"3576401458285275","name":"Huitai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be4eb3604e496ba474ae6df683a3ed25","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"themes":[],"htmlText":"This is enlightening to me.thanks for sharing&nbsp;","listText":"This is enlightening to me.thanks for sharing&nbsp;","text":"This is enlightening to me.thanks for sharing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/154348555","repostId":"1155435134","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155435134","pubTimestamp":1625483300,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1155435134?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-05 19:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What Does the End of the Quarter Mean for Portfolio Management?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155435134","media":"investopedia","summary":"The \"end of the quarter\" refers to the conclusion of one of four specific three-month periods on the","content":"<p>The \"end of the quarter\" refers to the conclusion of one of four specific three-month periods on the financial calendar.

Not only is it a good idea for investors to monitor their investments from time-to-time but rarely is so much new, actionable information released as during the end of a quarter.\nRebalancing a Portfolio\nRebalancinginvolves the periodic sale and purchase of assets within a portfolio to maintain a target ratio.2Consider an investor who wants his portfolio to be comprised of 50% growth stocks, 25% income stocks, and 25% bonds. If during Q1, the growth stocks outperform the other investments substantially, the investor may decide to sell some growth stocks or purchase more income stocks and bonds to bring the portfolio back to a 50-25-25 split.\nKEY TAKEAWAYS\n\nThe end of the three-month period known as a financial quarter is considered an important time for investors.\nCompanies, financial analysts, and government agencies (including the Fed) all release reports and critical data at the end of a quarter.\nBoth retail and institutional investors often use the end of a quarter to re-evaluate and rebalance their portfolios.\n\nTraditional rebalancing involves trading the gains of well-performing assets, by selling high, for more low-performing assets, by buying low, at the end of each quarter. Theoretically, this serves to protect a portfolio from being too exposed or straying too far from its original strategy. However, pegging rebalances to the end of quarters relies on arbitrary calendar events which may not coincide with market movements. Nevertheless, the confluence of new reports that emerge at the end of quarters usually causes market reactions and should be of concern to most participants.\nInstitutional Investors and Rebalancing\nIt is not just individual investors who consider making portfolio moves at the end of quarters. Portfolio management is also important for institutional investors, like mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, or ETFs.3\nThere are two forms of fund portfolio management: active and passive.4Passive funds generally peg their portfolios to market indexes and involve fewer changes in exchange for lower management fees. The end of a quarter is less significant for these types of funds, though if theirbenchmark indexeschange at this time, they will as well.\nActive funds have a manager or team of managers who take a more proactive approach to beat market average returns. These funds can be quite active during the end of quarters, especially if their portfolios need to be adjusted to meet their previously stated goals and strategies.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":203,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
