For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, which ended on March 31, the Chinese e-commerce and cloud leader&#39;s revenue rose 2% year over year to 208.2 billion yuan ($30.3 billion) and surpassed analysts&#39; expectations by $410 million. Its adjusted net income increased 38% to 27.4 billion yuan ($4.0 billion), or $1.56 per American depositary share (ADS), and also cleared the consensus forecast by $0.21.</p><p>For the full year, Alibaba&#39;s revenue and adjusted earnings per ADS grew 2% and 4%, respectively. Should investors buy Alibaba&#39;s stock, which has plummeted more than 70% from its all-time high in October 2020, as a value play on China&#39;s COVID-19 recovery? Or will this bellwether of the Chinese tech sector remain out of favor for the foreseeable future?</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5158cd40d553db567592f6509e8c86cd\" alt=\"Image source: Alibaba.\" title=\"Image source: Alibaba.\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"468\"/><span>Image source: Alibaba.</span></p><h2>Why did the bulls retreat from Alibaba stock?</h2><p>Alibaba&#39;s downfall was caused by regulatory, competitive, and macro headwinds. In September 2021, China&#39;s antitrust regulators hit Alibaba with a record $2.8 billion fine, forced it to end its exclusive deals with merchants and aggressive promotions, and closely scrutinized its previous and planned investments. Those penalties eroded Alibaba&#39;s defenses against <strong>JD.com</strong>, <strong>Pinduoduo</strong>, and other e-commerce marketplaces across China.</p><p>On the macro front, China&#39;s economic slowdown and intermittent COVID lockdowns broadly curbed consumer spending. Those headwinds also forced companies to rein in their spending on Alibaba&#39;s cloud services. Its cloud business also suffered a major setback in 2021 when <strong>ByteDance</strong>, bowing to overseas pressure, moved the data of TikTok&#39;s overseas users from Alibaba Cloud to <strong>Oracle</strong>&#39;s cloud servers.</p><p>In fiscal 2023, Alibaba generated 67% of its revenue from its China Commerce segment, which houses Tmall, Taobao, and its brick-and-mortar stores. Another 9% came from Alibaba Cloud, which remains the largest cloud platform in China. Here&#39;s how these two core businesses fared over the past two years.</p><table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;\"><colgroup><col width=\"272\"/><col width=\"135\"/><col width=\"146\"/></colgroup><tbody><tr><th data-colwidth=\"272\" style=\"text-align:left;width:272px;\"><p>Segment</p></th><th data-colwidth=\"135\" style=\"text-align:left;width:135px;\"><p>FY 2022</p></th><th data-colwidth=\"146\" style=\"text-align:left;width:146px;\"><p>FY 2023</p></th></tr><tr><td data-colwidth=\"272\" style=\"text-align:left;width:272px;\"><p><strong>China Commerce Revenue Growth</strong></p></td><td data-colwidth=\"135\" style=\"text-align:left;width:135px;\"><p>18%</p></td><td data-colwidth=\"146\" style=\"text-align:left;width:146px;\"><p>(1%)</p></td></tr><tr><td data-colwidth=\"272\" style=\"text-align:left;width:272px;\"><p><strong>Cloud Revenue Growth</strong></p></td><td data-colwidth=\"135\" style=\"text-align:left;width:135px;\"><p>23%</p></td><td data-colwidth=\"146\" style=\"text-align:left;width:146px;\"><p>4%</p></td></tr><tr><td data-colwidth=\"272\" style=\"text-align:left;width:272px;\"><p><strong>Total Revenue Growth</strong></p></td><td data-colwidth=\"135\" style=\"text-align:left;width:135px;\"><p>19%</p></td><td data-colwidth=\"146\" style=\"text-align:left;width:146px;\"><p>2%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Data source: Alibaba.</p><p>That slowdown drove a lot of investors away from Alibaba. But on the bright side, Alibaba&#39;s operating margin expanded from 8% in fiscal 2022 to 12% in fiscal 2023, while its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin increased from 19% to 20%. That expansion was driven by about 19,000 layoffs throughout calendar 2022, as well as other aggressive cost-cutting measures.</p><h2>What are Alibaba&#39;s plans for the future?</h2><p>Back in March, Alibaba revealed its plans for the future by splitting its business into six new groups: Cloud Intelligence, Taobao Tmall Commerce, Local Services, Cainiao Smart Logistics, Global Digital Commerce, and the Digital Media and Entertainment Group. All six groups will be led by different CEOs, and most of them will either pursue fresh funding or IPOs.</p><p>Alibaba provided an update to that plan with its fourth-quarter report. It will spin off its entire cloud division in an IPO, and it will distribute those shares to its current shareholders as a special dividend. It also plans to pursue external financing for its global e-commerce division (which includes its overseas and cross-border marketplaces) while exploring potential IPOs for Cainiao Smart Logistics and the grocery division of its Taobao Tmall Commerce Group.</p><p>But that doesn&#39;t mean Alibaba is splitting itself up. Alibaba will still hold majority stakes in all of those groups, even if they are spun off into publicly traded companies. The restructuring strategy will merely free up its business groups to pursue more external financing -- which should alleviate some pressure from Alibaba&#39;s own balance sheet -- and make their own decisions without fretting over how they might impact Alibaba&#39;s other divisions.</p><p>For example, Alibaba generated all of its operating profits from its China Commerce division in fiscal 2023. All of its other businesses posted operating losses, which puts a lot of pressure on Alibaba to subsidize its unprofitable businesses with its higher-margin commerce revenues. Spinning off its less-profitable divisions could gradually resolve that issue.</p><h2>Is Alibaba too cheap to ignore?</h2><p>Alibaba didn&#39;t provide any exact guidance for fiscal 2024, but its growth could accelerate again as China&#39;s economy finally experiences its post-COVID recovery. The spinoff of Alibaba Cloud could also generate fresh cash and boost its profits.</p><p>Analysts believe Alibaba&#39;s revenue and adjusted EBITDA will grow 10% and 9%, respectively, in fiscal 2024. Based on those estimates, which we should take with a grain of salt, Alibaba&#39;s stock seems cheap at two times this year&#39;s sales and 10 times its adjusted EBITDA. However, it could remain out of favor until its revenue growth accelerates again and the delisting threats for U.S.-listed Chinese stocks are resolved. Alibaba is worth keeping an eye on, but it&#39;s not a screaming bargain yet.</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>Is Alibaba Stock a Buy 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\">\nIs Alibaba Stock a Buy Now?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-05-22 14:57 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/05/20/is-alibaba-stock-a-buy-now/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Alibaba's stock dropped 5% after it posted its latest earnings report on May 18.

Alibaba is worth keeping an eye on, but it's not a screaming bargain yet.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":160,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9970116955,"gmtCreate":1684150254177,"gmtModify":1684151098572,"author":{"id":"3576870128730279","authorId":"3576870128730279","authorIdStr":"3576870128730279","name":"Stevenhuat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9163f44563e6ca69553ecd9f2341e508","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576870128730279"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"So bushy want to buy @2.5?","listText":"So bushy want to buy @2.5?","text":"So bushy want to buy @2.5?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9970116955","repostId":"1167853068","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1167853068","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":1684149910,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1167853068?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-05-15 19:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"SoFi Shares Drop After Wedbush Downgraded SoFi to Sell","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1167853068","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"In a report released today, David Chiaverini from Wedbush downgraded SoFi Technologies to Sell, with","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>In a report released today, David Chiaverini from Wedbush downgraded SoFi Technologies to Sell, with a price target of $2.50.

Reportedly, 87% of AMC Entertainment’s shareholders voted in favor of combining AMC common shares and <strong>AMC Preferred Equity Units </strong>(NYSE: <strong><u>APE</u></strong>). In addition, 88% of the company’s shareholders voted in favor of “significantly increasing the capacity to issue additional common shares.”</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">To justify these measures, AMC Entertainment stated, “If implemented, AMC should have an ability to raise a significant amount of equity capital in the months and years ahead.” That may be true, but prospective investors should consider the dilutive impact of increasing the number of AMC shares in circulation.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Meanwhile, there’s a legal soap opera afoot as AMC Entertainment settled a lawsuit in the company’s quest to convert APE shares to AMC common stock.

The company was minting hefty profits during the pandemic-era cryptocurrency bubble. Today, not so much.</p><p>Prices of cryptocurrencies have plunged, trading activity has dropped off a cliff, and multiple frauds have collapsed.

While cryptocurrency prices are still volatile, the easy-money era appears to be over.</p><p>Coinbase&#39;s revenue plunged 76% year over year in the fourth quarter of 2022. For the full year, the company posted a net loss of $2.6 billion on revenue of $3.1 billion.

But stocks often go down for good reasons, and a recovery is far from a guarantee.In the world of previously high-flying tech stocks, Coinbase and Upstart are particularly risky. Here's why investors should keep their distance from these struggling, money-losing tech stocks.CoinbaseCryptocurrency-exchange Coinbase succeeds only when irrational exuberance has drowned out common sense. The company was minting hefty profits during the pandemic-era cryptocurrency bubble. Today, not so much.Prices of cryptocurrencies have plunged, trading activity has dropped off a cliff, and multiple frauds have collapsed. Coinbase's core business of charging transaction fees only makes sense when its customers have an expectation of turning a profit big enough to justify those fees. While cryptocurrency prices are still volatile, the easy-money era appears to be over.Coinbase's revenue plunged 76% year over year in the fourth quarter of 2022. For the full year, the company posted a net loss of $2.6 billion on revenue of $3.1 billion. Coinbase hasn't even managed to keep its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) in positive territory.A significant source of Coinbase's non-fee revenue comes from interest income tied to the company's participation in the USDC (CRYPTO: USDC) ecosystem.

A lot of what is taking placetoday has some rhymes with various past episodes, but we are charting new territory with new lessons to be learned to add to the future policy maker playbook. We are likely in the very early stages of this latest banking crisis that could take months if not years to play out. SVB Financial (SIVB), Signature Bank (SBNY), Silvergate Bank (SI), and Credit Suisse (CS) are already gone. Who’s next?</p><h2>The song is over</h2><p>Over the last fourteen years since the Great Financial Crisis (GFC), we were reassured that problems with the banks were behind us. In 2017, then Fed ChairJanet Yellen declared that we will not see another financial crisis in our lifetime. The next year, legislation was passed that eased regulations on all but the largest banking institutions. It was music to the ears of capital markets awash in liquidity, low volatility, and high-risk tolerance. But in the midst of a sustained bout of blistering hot inflation that induced the U.S. Federal Reserve to whipsaw from effectively promising to keep interest rates pinned at 0% until at least 2024 this time two years ago to launching into its most aggressive rate hiking campaign since the 1970s this time a year ago, the consequences of such abrupt and dramatic monetary policy swings are now coming into view. The song is over, and what we have seen so far is likely only the beginning of what is ahead now.</p><h2>Getting in tune</h2><p>Much has been written and pontificated about what has taken place in the banking system over the last two week since March 8 when Fed Chair Jay Powell flexed before Congress that the Fed was poised to raise interest rates by a half point at its March 22 FOMC meeting (what a difference a fortnight makes). It’s not that nothing more needs to be said on these topics, but it is also worthwhile to step back and reflect on selected perspectives that may be getting overlooked as the narrative rapidly unfolds.</p><h2>March madness</h2><p>I don’t know about you, but debating whether the global financial system might implode is not the best way to relax over weekend. Yet for the past two weekends, that’s exactly what we’ve had to game out. During the weekend of March 11-12, we held our breath wondering whether the U.S. financial trinity – the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC – would come up with an emergency solution to save the financial system from rampant bank runs before the markets in Asia opened on Sunday night. The next weekend of March 18-19, we waited and wondered whether the Swiss would be able to arrange a shotgun merger between its two banking behemoths and prevent the meltdown of a Systemically Important Financial Institution (SIFI). What new crisis threatening the global financial system will we have to look forward to in the coming weekends? Only time will tell.</p><h2>Revising my teaching notes</h2><p>So as I prepare my Intro to Finance lecture discussing how creditors are paid in the event of a liquidation, the events of the past weekend have provided a whole new twist to the discussion. For when it comes to the order in which people traditionally get paid in liquidation, its secured debt holders first, then senior unsecured lenders, followed by junior subordinated debt holders, then preferred stockholders, and both last and least (and typically nothing at all) common stock holders. Needless to say it was eyebrow raising when in the case of Credit Suisse the subordinated debt holders got wiped out yet the common stock holders received $1 billion $2 billion $3 billion in a merger withUBSthat was completed without the customary shareholder approval vote.</p><p>Listen, I get it that there simply was not the time to get shareholders to vote on a deal that absolutely had to be done over a weekend, but not only exempting the rule of law but also having the deal structured in a way that leaves head scratching questions in terms of the way that it was structured is not the best for engendering investor confidence going forward. Something tells me that this may not be the last we hear AT1 debt and banking system instability uttered in the same sentence.</p><h2>Tightening lending standards</h2><p>If you are running a small or mid-sized regional bank, it has been a traumatic past two weeks. It has been particularly traumatic if you are among the small or mid-sized regional banks that exercised poor credit management by doing things like using your depositors&#39; money to load up on long-term Treasuries and MBS in 2021 just before they were set to lose as much as 30% of their value.</p><p>With this potential fight for survival in mind, you may be far less inclined today than you were two weeks ago as a small or mid-sized bank to lend money out to your institutional and retail customers. And if the regional banks that serve so many local communities across the country share this more cautious inclination, this means less home buying, less car buying, less consumer spending, less capital expenditures, and less hiring of new employees. Add all of these “less”es together, and you have an economic recession, just as we have seen several times in the recent past as evidenced in the chart below.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/73611566280cece7f6e202ae8736df42\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"480\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, Board of Governors</span></p><p>The deeply inverted yield curve has been screaming recession for quite a while now, and recent developments across the banking landscape have not only meaningfully improved the probability of recession, but also that any such recession is likely to be a bit deeper and longer than previously anticipated.</p><p>The fact that stocks continue to trade at a premium coupled with the fact that corporate earnings are still toward the high end of their historical range with considerable room to come back down suggests that the road ahead for stocks over the next few months could get a bit bumpy before it’s all said and done.</p><h2>The banking crisis may do the Fed’s work</h2><p>If one wants to try to put a silver lining on idiosyncratic bank failures and stressful weekends waiting for emergency policy rescues, a positive that is likely to come from the recent banking crises and the probable tightening of lending standards is that it is likely to bring down inflation both further and faster than we would have seen otherwise. As I often like to say to my Principles of Macro students, if you have too much money chasing too few goods, a great way to solve it is by simply taking money away from people. And since politicians on all sides of the political aisle no longer have the resolve to actually raise taxes on anyone other than the ultra-wealthy, raising interest rates and tightening lending standards are ways to do it. If people don’t have money, they can’t spend it, and inflation comes back down.</p><p>A sooner and deeper recession may actually help at risk banks. What has put so many small and mid-sized banks at risk has been the precipitous decline in long-term Treasury and MBS prices. But if inflation comes down and the economy falls into recession, both of these forces are typically meaningful tailwinds for these same securities as interest rates eventually come back down and investors take flight to safety. It’s an interesting thought pretzel to think that an economic recession could help fix the banking crisis while an ongoing economic expansion could send more banks over the edge.</p><h2>Who’s next</h2><p>Bringing this all back together, it is very likely that we are still in the very early stages of a banking crisis that may take many months to play out. It is important to remember that when the U.S. Federal Reserve raises interest rates, it historically takes upwards of twelve months before the tightening effects of the rate hike have fully worked their way through the economy. And given that the Fed only started hiking rates at this time last year, this means that only the first 25 bps rate hike from last year has fully come out the other side and we have 450 bps of interest rate hikes still making their way through the proverbial snake. This includes four consecutive 75 bps bombs from the middle to latter part of last year as well as the latest 25 bps cherry on top of the rate hiking cycle cake that the Fed delivered coming out of their latest FOMC meeting this Wednesday. Somehow, I have a sneaking suspicion we may someday look back with derision on this last rate hike. It will be interesting to see.</p><p>With all of this in mind, we should remain mindful that the stream of banks under stress may not be continuous as we continue through 2023. We may go through prolonged stretches where it looks like the problem is behind us (May 2008, anyone?) only to find a new set of problems emerge in a different segment of the financial sector. Thus, keeping a close eye on further rumbles across the financial sector is a prudent strategy as we move forward from here.</p><p>As for who’s next in the meantime, I am not breaking any news by saying that First Republic Bank (FRC) remains the institution to watch. The situation remains highly tenuous despite the repeated efforts of both public and private institutions to resuscitate the ailing bank. If First Republic ultimately succumbs, pressure on other at risk regional banking institutions is not only likely to persist but amplify. On the other hand, if First Republic perseveres, such a period of relief from immediate banking stress may follow.</p><h2>Who’s last</h2><p>If we go through a worst case scenario thought exercise, it’s reasonable to consider where the road might end in the current banking crisis. A name that is worth monitoring in this regard is Bank of America (BAC), which of course is one of the largest financial institutions in the world and among the top of the SIFI category. Of course, nothing at all is imminently at issue with Bank of America, but it does have a notably larger long-term bond portfolio relative to its major banking institution peers. As a result, it is worth monitoring as a back-end measure of underlying financial sector stress.</p><h2>We won’t get fooled again</h2><p>Oh no, we so will. A defining characteristic of financial markets and the policy makers that oversee them is a memory that seemingly lasts about 18 months to two years at most. Unfortunately, this leads markets and policy makers to unwittingly and repeatedly fall into the same traps, only through different means. Fortunately for investors, such dislocations lead to attractive opportunities for those that are prepared and positioned to capitalize. Thus, maintaining a sharp focus on potential downside risks such as ongoing banking industry volatility is a productive way to navigate short-term turbulence while seeking to capitalize on long-term upside.</p><p><i>This article is written by Eric Parnell, CFA for reference only.

So, what doesit mean? Is this just a bear market rally, or a signal of the major bottom. Let&#39;s first evaluate the top 20 list of the daily rates of return for the S&amp;P500:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9a00554a6ad210b0ab26216de0667def\" tg-width=\"927\" tg-height=\"1314\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>As you can see from the list above,</p><ul><li>12 out 20 top daily returns were the bear market rallies, and 8 out of these 12 were during the 1929-1932 bear market and the Great Depression.</li><li>8 out of 20 were the near-bottoms, bottoms, or after-bottoms, and 6 of these 8 were during the bottom associated with the 1932 Great Depression bottom.</li><li>2 out of 8 bottoms were associated with the bottoms of the sharp corrections, the 1987 and the 2020 bottom. The 1987 correction was not associated with a recession, and it is generally considered as a technical in nature. The 2020 bottom was associated with the extraordinary events related to covid19 and the monetary and fiscal covid stimuli.</li></ul><p>Based on the historical evidence, the 5.6% daily spike in S&amp;P500 (SPX) is either a signal of a major bottom or just another bear market rally.</p><h2>The major bottom thesis</h2><p>The major bottom thesis requires an actual bear market capitulation, such as the 1932 bottom, the 2003 bottom or 2009 bottom. In each of these cases, there was a clear policy response to stimulate the economy, both monetary and fiscal.</p><p>The 11/10/22 daily spike was in response to the positive surprise in the CPI inflation, which raised the hope of the Fed pivot - or a less aggressive monetary policy tightening.</p><p>As I previously explained, the full bear market has3 stages:1) the liquidity selloff in response to the Fed&#39;s monetary policy tightening, 2) the recessionary selloff caused by the Fed&#39;s tightening, and 3) the credit crunch (or a financial crisis) triggered by the deep recession.</p><p>The bullish case assumes that the current bear market ended with the Phase 1 - or with the peak Fed hawkishness. It&#39;s true, we are likely past the peak inflation, and thus the peak hawkishness.</p><p>However, the question is whether there is a Phase 2 coming - or a recessionary selloff, and whether &#34;something will break&#34; during the process and cause the Phase 3 and the credit crunch.</p><h2>The recessionary selloff</h2><p>The S&amp;P500 PE ratio after the 11/10 spike is 20.58. The market is still overvalued and not priced for a recession.</p><p>Is the recession coming? The spread between the 10Y Treasury Bond yield and the 3-Month Treasury Bill yield is the most reliable and the Fed-favored recession indicator, and once it inverts, the recession becomes almost a certainty.</p><p>Currently, the 10y-3mo spread is deeply inverted at -0.46%. Here is the chart:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/70ef81e28bf62d769ca5f75f29feb339\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"237\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>FRED</span></p><p>Based on yield curve spread indicator, the recession is coming, and the market is not priced for it - based on the PE ratio of over 20. Thus, the current bear market has not bottomed yet, and the next Phase of the bear market is coming.</p><h2>Why is the 10Y-3mo curve inverted? Why is this signaling a recession?</h2><p>The 10Y-3mo spread is inverted because the Fed is hiking the short-term interest rates above the long-term interest rates. Why? To cause a recession to bring the inflation down.</p><p>The market hopes that the Fed will slow down with the interest rates hikes, because the inflation has peaked. Too late. The damage has been done. The Fed could even stop after the December 50bpt hike, the 10y-3mo spread has already inverted.</p><p>But don&#39;t count on the Fed to pause yet. If the core CPI printed today 4.3% (instead of actual 6.3%), and that was expected to persist, the Fed would still have to further hike. The target is 2% inflation.</p><p>But don&#39;t expect inflation to sharply fall either - without a deep recession. The economic war with China is still active, and it&#39;s more likely to escalate. This is inflationary. The war in Ukraine is still active and it&#39;s more likely to escalate. This is also inflationary. The unemployment rate in the US is still near record lows, and this is inflationary. The only thing the Fed can influence is the US unemployment rate - by inducing a recession.</p><h2>It&#39;s a bear market rally</h2><p>We are not at a major bottom; we are possibly in-between the Phase 1 selloff and a Phase 2 recessionary selloff. There are already signs of &#34;things breaking&#34; like the cryptocurrencies, which could lead to the Phase 3 selloff.</p><p>Bear market rallies happen during the &#34;in-between periods&#34;, so this bear market rally could continue. The bottom will be in-place when the Fed wants to the bottom to be in place - this will be the pivot the bulls are waiting: the Fed slashing interest rates and resuming QE. I don&#39;t think anybody expects this over the near term. Don&#39;t fight the Fed. The bear market rally is the opportunity to sell or re-short.</p><h2>SPY sector analysis</h2><p>AllSPYsectors were up significantly on 11/10/2022, led by the beaten down technology sector (XLK), the interest rate sensitive real estate sector (XLRE) and the cyclical discretionary sector (XLY).

(NASDAQ:META) is astonishing but certainly not unprecedented. The performance of the stock is reminding of several technology companies during the Dotcom crash and recently several technology companies – including the Chinese counterpart Tencent Holdings (OTCPK:TCEHY,OTCPK:TCTZF) – performed similar. So far, Meta Platforms has lost 75% of its value and turned from a company that was briefly worth above $1 trillion (and among the top companies in the world by market cap) to a $250 billion company ranging only on the 33rdspot on the list of themost valuable companiesin the world.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/149e1f6c0f1b06f4bd721a865db34fac\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data byYCharts</p><p>When reading comments – including comments on Seeking Alpha – I seldom see analysis and logic but just expressions of hate for Mark Zuckerberg, using the word “woke” countless times and talking about “Karma.” And while this is obviously no analysis, it is an expression for the sentiment surrounding Meta Platforms. In such a sentiment-driven environment, decisions are often lacking the necessary objectivity to make good investment– which might explain why the stock is trading below $100 and close to the point of maximum pessimism.</p><h2><b>Declining Profitability</b></h2><p>Of course, fundamentals also justify the stock to go lower from its previous all-time highs of $380. And one fundamental problem is the declining profitability for Meta Platforms in the last few quarters. In Q3/22, the company had to report huge declines for the bottom line once again. Diluted earnings per share declined from $3.22 in the same quarter last year to $1.64 this quarter. And when looking at the results for the first nine months, EPS declined from $10.11 in the same timeframe last year to $6.82 this year.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/857f2d072c54ddaffb7f3a2686bbd0fb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"457\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Meta Q3/22 Earnings Release</p><p>When looking for the reasons, we can mention several aspects. Although playing only a small role, interest payments of $88 million had a negative effect (due to the company’s $10 billion in long-term debt). Cost of revenue declined about 1% to $5,716 million, but the operating expenses increased dramatically. General and administrative expenses increased 14.9% year-over-year to $3,384 million, and research and development expenses increased 45.2% YoY to $9,170 million. And the result was operating income cut in half from $10,423 million in Q3/21 to $5,664 million this quarter.</p><h2><b>Top Line Growth Slowing Down</b></h2><p>But not only increased costs had a negative effect. Revenue also declined from $29,010 million in Q3/21 to $27,714 million in Q3/22 – resulting in 4.5% decline YoY. Management was pointing out, that on a constant currency basis revenue increased 2% year-over-year. We can also look at the different regions and different segments and see mixed trends. Dave Wehner gave detailsduring the last earnings call:</p><blockquote>The healthcare and travel verticals were the largest positive contributors to growth in Q3. However, this was offset by continued softness in other verticals, including online commerce, gaming, financial services and CPG. On an advertiser size basis, revenue growth from large advertisers remains challenged, while we have seen more resilience among smaller advertisers. Foreign currency was a significant headwind to advertising revenue growth in all international regions. On a user geography basis, year-over-year ad revenue growth was strongest in Asia-Pacific and rest of world at 6% and 3% respectively, with both regions continuing to benefit meaningfully from strong growth in click-to-messaging ads. North America and Europe declined 3% and 16% respectively.</blockquote><p>And during the last few quarters, growth clearly slowed down – when looking at the TTM numbers, revenue growth declined for four quarters in a row from 42.33% growth in September 2021 to only 5.15% right now.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a6f1dc184b6d72641ab76558dc000ef3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"166\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Meta Platforms TTM numbers, year-over-year growth(Seeking Alpha)</p><h2><b>Problems, Problems, Problems?</b></h2><p>We should not ignore the problems Meta Platforms is clearly facing. Revenue growth is slowing down and, due to increasing costs (we will get to that), profitability is declining and earnings per share are crumbling. And the stock certainly deserved to decline in value, but a 75% decline was unjustified – especially as Meta Platforms was not so expensive to begin with (even more true when comparing to several other hyped stocks). When looking at the results in more detail, there are signs to be optimistic.</p><p><b><i>Small Signs of Growth</i></b></p><p>First, on a constant currency basis, revenue increased 2% year-over-year. This is still not great, but we should also not ignore the strong U.S. dollar being a headwind – for Meta Platforms as well as most other U.S. companies. And daily active users for the Family of Apps increased from 2.88 billion last quarter to 2.93 billion this quarter, and year-over-year the DAUs increased about 4%. And daily active users for Facebook also increased from 1,930 million in the same quarter last year to 1,984 million this quarter – resulting in 2.8% year-over-year growth.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/99b9c09e1b3a13a76dc14da26b4f091c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"361\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Meta Platforms Q3/22 Presentation</p><p>Of course, these are not impressive growth rates, but the company is still growing which is good news. During the earnings call, Dave Wehner stated:</p><blockquote>So on time spent, we are really pleased with what we’re seeing on engagement. And as Mark mentioned, Reels is incremental to time spent. Specifically, in terms of aggregate time spent on Instagram and Facebook, both are up year-over-year and in both the U.S. and globally.</blockquote><p>And while revenue stagnated, the total number of ad impressions served across the different apps increased 17%, which is a good sign for underlying growth. Growth was especially driven by Asia-Pacific and rest of world. On the other hand, the average price per ad decreased 18%, but the reasons might be temporary – like the shift to Reels.</p><p><b><i>Shift to Reels</i></b></p><p>Another reason for the top-line troubles is the move from Feed and Stories to Reels, as the monetization is still problematic. During the earnings call, Mark Zuckerberg commented:</p><blockquote>Moving to monetization, I’ve discussed in the past how the growth of short-form video creates near-term challenges since Reels doesn’t monetize at the rate of Feed or Stories yet. That means that as Reels grows, we are displacing revenue from higher monetizing surfaces. And I think this is clearly the right thing to do, so Reels can grow with the demand that we are seeing, but closing this gap is also a high priority. Even with the progress we have made, we are still choosing to take a more than $500 million quarterly revenue headwind with this shift, but we expect to get to a more neutral place over the next 10 – sort of 12 to 18 months. I mentioned last quarter that Instagram Reels had crossed a $1 billion annual revenue run-rate. We continue scaling monetization across both Instagram and Facebook and the combined run-rate across these apps is now $3 billion.</blockquote><p>And Reels is growing quickly and at a high pace. According to Zuckerberg, there are more than 140 billion Reels plays across Facebook and Instagram each day, which is a 50% increase from 6 months ago. And although this is not backed up by numbers, Zuckerberg believes that Meta is gaining time spent share on competitors like TikTok.</p><p>And the path for Reels monetization seems similar than the path towards monetization of Feeds or the switch to mobile. The company first had to focus on increasing engagement and growing demand for the products. Monetization efficiency followed in the next step. But Zuckerberg also admits it is hard to predict the monetization efficiency for Reels in advance.</p><p><b><i>New Ways of Monetization</i></b></p><p>Aside from trying to monetize Reels more efficiently, Meta Platforms is also seeing another major monetization opportunity in messaging. During the last earnings call, Mark Zuckerberg explained:</p><blockquote>Beyond Reels, messaging is another major monetization opportunity. Billions of people and millions of businesses use WhatsApp and Messenger everyday and we are confident that we can connect them in ways that create valuable experiences. We started with click-to-messaging ads which lets businesses run ads on Facebook and Instagram that start a thread on Messenger, WhatsApp or Instagram Direct, so they can communicate with customers directly. And this is one of our fastest growing ads products with a $9 billion annual run-rate.</blockquote><p>In theprevious earnings call, the company already pointed out the big potential it sees in messaging. Meta Platforms reported strong double-digit year-over-year growth rates, and these messages are particular popular with small and medium-sized businesses in emerging markets like Brazil and Mexico.</p><h2><b>Scary Metaverse</b></h2><p>In my opinion, investors are mostly scared by Mark Zuckerberg’s plans for the Metaverse and the huge expenses necessary. By focusing on the Metaverse (and seeing it as a huge cash-burning fantasy of a billionaire), they are overlooking that Meta Platforms is still a solid, highly profitable cash cow (yes it is, even when it will struggle for a few quarters). And the vision of the Metaverse is generating uncertainty, and investors don’t like uncertainty.</p><p>And there are reasons to be cautious (or even pessimistic). In the last few weeks, disappointing data about the Metaverse has been reported – aboutusers not returningand fewer than 200k users signing up forthe Horizon World. And when looking at the results for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, revenue for the Reality Labs business segment was only $285 million and 49% lower than in the same quarter last year. And not very surprisingly, the segment had to report an operating loss once again - $3,672 million. And when looking at the last eight quarters, this is the biggest operating loss for the segment so far.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ef035e590029c005f6cf20a38e2d2cd8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"359\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Meta Platforms Q3/22 Presentation</p><p>What shocked investors in particular was the fact that Meta Platforms won’t cut down on spendings and will continue to rely heavily on its vision of the Metaverse.

Considering the fact that we are on the eve of a major recession it is not surprising for a business depending on advertisement revenue to report slowing revenue growth. And not only Meta Platforms is struggling – peers like Alphabet (GOOG,GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), and Tencent are struggling as well.</li><li><b>Investing in the future</b>: Meta Platforms is investing in its huge vision of the metaverse, which is expensive and has a negative impact on the bottom line and the company’s ability to generate free cash flow.</li></ol><p>These two aspects combined create a scenario that looks like Armageddon for Meta Platforms – but it is not. The first problem (the cyclical low) will pass, and revenue growth and profitability will increase again. The second problem (high expenditures) could actually be a huge opportunity for billions and billions in profits in the years to come. And this is even if the scenario that Meta Platforms is failing with its vision of the Metaverse and Facebook and Instagram just returning to normal ways of profitability after the recession is not priced in (the current stock price, at least).</p><p><b>Intrinsic Value Calculation</b></p><p>And as I have mentioned several times in the past, the Metaverse does not have to work out in any way for Meta Platforms to be a bargain. It is not like we are paying any form of premium for Meta Platforms on the hope of billions in profits from the Metaverse. Just returning to previous profitability levels and generating about $40 billion in free cash flow would make the stock worth about $150 (without any growth assumptions).</p><p>And although it sounds absurd right now, Meta Platforms should be able to grow in the mid-to-high single digits in the years to come. Not only have we to assume Meta Platforms being able to grow its top line again. Additionally, Meta Platforms could use share buybacks to grow its bottom line (if all the other growth initiatives won’t work). Last quarter, Meta Platforms spent $7,365 million on share buybacks, which is resulting in $29,460 million on annual share buybacks. At the current depressed stock price, this is enough to repurchase more than 10% of outstanding shares and add 10% growth to the bottom line. Combined with revenue growth, this would lead to double-digit growth for Meta Platforms.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3a3f2e36a81b7d1cc2906ceb54b94bbb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"359\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Meta Platforms Q3/22 Presentation</p><p>Free cash flow in the last four quarters was $25,713 million and we are using this amount as basis in our calculation. For fiscal 2023, we assume 0% growth as the company is not so optimistic for the next years and the recession will have a negative impact. For the years from fiscal 2024 going forward (and till perpetuity), we assume only 5% growth. This is resulting in an intrinsic value of $182.69 (assuming 2,687 million outstanding shares and 10% discount rate). When assuming 6% instead, the intrinsic value would be $221.44, and these are still cautious assumptions.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>In past articles I mentioned several times that I don’t like the term “buying opportunity of a lifetime” – especially as it was often used after small corrections implying that a 10% or 20% correction is already generating a deeply undervalued stock. But Meta Platforms is a huge buying opportunity, in my opinion, and the stock could easily double or triple over the next few years as Meta Platforms is trading nowhere close to its intrinsic value. In different calculations (which I did not include in this article), we also get an intrinsic value around $400 for Meta Platforms right now.</p><p>And in the coming quarters, bad news will continue as the recession, which will hit the United States with a highprobability in 2023, will lead to more trouble for Meta Platforms. But at this point, most of the bad news should be priced in, and further bad news should not be a major shock. Over the next few years, you probably won’t regret an investment in Meta Platforms (and for the next few quarters just go to sleep, as we don’t know what will happen).</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>Meta Platforms: Once In A Lifetime Buying Opportunity?</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\">\nMeta Platforms: Once In A Lifetime Buying Opportunity?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-03 14:21 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4551989-meta-platforms-once-in-a-lifetime-buying-opportunity><strong>seeking alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryMeta Platforms reported mediocre Q3/22 results and revenue as well as earnings per share declined.While the company is clearly struggling, the underlying business is still growing, with the ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4551989-meta-platforms-once-in-a-lifetime-buying-opportunity\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"META":"Meta Platforms, Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4551989-meta-platforms-once-in-a-lifetime-buying-opportunity","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1113649059","content_text":"SummaryMeta Platforms reported mediocre Q3/22 results and revenue as well as earnings per share declined.While the company is clearly struggling, the underlying business is still growing, with the number of DAUs increasing and monetization of reels making progress.Investors are scared by Zuckerberg's vision of the Metaverse and the necessary spendings and ignore the underlying, solid business.Meta Platforms is deeply undervalued and a great buying opportunity.The pessimism surrounding Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is astonishing but certainly not unprecedented. The performance of the stock is reminding of several technology companies during the Dotcom crash and recently several technology companies – including the Chinese counterpart Tencent Holdings (OTCPK:TCEHY,OTCPK:TCTZF) – performed similar. So far, Meta Platforms has lost 75% of its value and turned from a company that was briefly worth above $1 trillion (and among the top companies in the world by market cap) to a $250 billion company ranging only on the 33rdspot on the list of themost valuable companiesin the world.Data byYChartsWhen reading comments – including comments on Seeking Alpha – I seldom see analysis and logic but just expressions of hate for Mark Zuckerberg, using the word “woke” countless times and talking about “Karma.” And while this is obviously no analysis, it is an expression for the sentiment surrounding Meta Platforms. In such a sentiment-driven environment, decisions are often lacking the necessary objectivity to make good investment– which might explain why the stock is trading below $100 and close to the point of maximum pessimism.Declining ProfitabilityOf course, fundamentals also justify the stock to go lower from its previous all-time highs of $380. And one fundamental problem is the declining profitability for Meta Platforms in the last few quarters. In Q3/22, the company had to report huge declines for the bottom line once again. Diluted earnings per share declined from $3.22 in the same quarter last year to $1.64 this quarter. And when looking at the results for the first nine months, EPS declined from $10.11 in the same timeframe last year to $6.82 this year.Meta Q3/22 Earnings ReleaseWhen looking for the reasons, we can mention several aspects. Although playing only a small role, interest payments of $88 million had a negative effect (due to the company’s $10 billion in long-term debt). Cost of revenue declined about 1% to $5,716 million, but the operating expenses increased dramatically. General and administrative expenses increased 14.9% year-over-year to $3,384 million, and research and development expenses increased 45.2% YoY to $9,170 million. And the result was operating income cut in half from $10,423 million in Q3/21 to $5,664 million this quarter.Top Line Growth Slowing DownBut not only increased costs had a negative effect. Revenue also declined from $29,010 million in Q3/21 to $27,714 million in Q3/22 – resulting in 4.5% decline YoY. Management was pointing out, that on a constant currency basis revenue increased 2% year-over-year. We can also look at the different regions and different segments and see mixed trends. Dave Wehner gave detailsduring the last earnings call:The healthcare and travel verticals were the largest positive contributors to growth in Q3. However, this was offset by continued softness in other verticals, including online commerce, gaming, financial services and CPG. On an advertiser size basis, revenue growth from large advertisers remains challenged, while we have seen more resilience among smaller advertisers. Foreign currency was a significant headwind to advertising revenue growth in all international regions. On a user geography basis, year-over-year ad revenue growth was strongest in Asia-Pacific and rest of world at 6% and 3% respectively, with both regions continuing to benefit meaningfully from strong growth in click-to-messaging ads. North America and Europe declined 3% and 16% respectively.And during the last few quarters, growth clearly slowed down – when looking at the TTM numbers, revenue growth declined for four quarters in a row from 42.33% growth in September 2021 to only 5.15% right now.Meta Platforms TTM numbers, year-over-year growth(Seeking Alpha)Problems, Problems, Problems?We should not ignore the problems Meta Platforms is clearly facing. Revenue growth is slowing down and, due to increasing costs (we will get to that), profitability is declining and earnings per share are crumbling. And the stock certainly deserved to decline in value, but a 75% decline was unjustified – especially as Meta Platforms was not so expensive to begin with (even more true when comparing to several other hyped stocks). When looking at the results in more detail, there are signs to be optimistic.Small Signs of GrowthFirst, on a constant currency basis, revenue increased 2% year-over-year. This is still not great, but we should also not ignore the strong U.S. dollar being a headwind – for Meta Platforms as well as most other U.S. companies. And daily active users for the Family of Apps increased from 2.88 billion last quarter to 2.93 billion this quarter, and year-over-year the DAUs increased about 4%. And daily active users for Facebook also increased from 1,930 million in the same quarter last year to 1,984 million this quarter – resulting in 2.8% year-over-year growth.Meta Platforms Q3/22 PresentationOf course, these are not impressive growth rates, but the company is still growing which is good news. During the earnings call, Dave Wehner stated:So on time spent, we are really pleased with what we’re seeing on engagement. And as Mark mentioned, Reels is incremental to time spent. Specifically, in terms of aggregate time spent on Instagram and Facebook, both are up year-over-year and in both the U.S. and globally.And while revenue stagnated, the total number of ad impressions served across the different apps increased 17%, which is a good sign for underlying growth. Growth was especially driven by Asia-Pacific and rest of world. On the other hand, the average price per ad decreased 18%, but the reasons might be temporary – like the shift to Reels.Shift to ReelsAnother reason for the top-line troubles is the move from Feed and Stories to Reels, as the monetization is still problematic. During the earnings call, Mark Zuckerberg commented:Moving to monetization, I’ve discussed in the past how the growth of short-form video creates near-term challenges since Reels doesn’t monetize at the rate of Feed or Stories yet. That means that as Reels grows, we are displacing revenue from higher monetizing surfaces. And I think this is clearly the right thing to do, so Reels can grow with the demand that we are seeing, but closing this gap is also a high priority. Even with the progress we have made, we are still choosing to take a more than $500 million quarterly revenue headwind with this shift, but we expect to get to a more neutral place over the next 10 – sort of 12 to 18 months. I mentioned last quarter that Instagram Reels had crossed a $1 billion annual revenue run-rate. We continue scaling monetization across both Instagram and Facebook and the combined run-rate across these apps is now $3 billion.And Reels is growing quickly and at a high pace. According to Zuckerberg, there are more than 140 billion Reels plays across Facebook and Instagram each day, which is a 50% increase from 6 months ago. And although this is not backed up by numbers, Zuckerberg believes that Meta is gaining time spent share on competitors like TikTok.And the path for Reels monetization seems similar than the path towards monetization of Feeds or the switch to mobile. The company first had to focus on increasing engagement and growing demand for the products. Monetization efficiency followed in the next step. But Zuckerberg also admits it is hard to predict the monetization efficiency for Reels in advance.New Ways of MonetizationAside from trying to monetize Reels more efficiently, Meta Platforms is also seeing another major monetization opportunity in messaging. During the last earnings call, Mark Zuckerberg explained:Beyond Reels, messaging is another major monetization opportunity. Billions of people and millions of businesses use WhatsApp and Messenger everyday and we are confident that we can connect them in ways that create valuable experiences. We started with click-to-messaging ads which lets businesses run ads on Facebook and Instagram that start a thread on Messenger, WhatsApp or Instagram Direct, so they can communicate with customers directly. And this is one of our fastest growing ads products with a $9 billion annual run-rate.In theprevious earnings call, the company already pointed out the big potential it sees in messaging. Meta Platforms reported strong double-digit year-over-year growth rates, and these messages are particular popular with small and medium-sized businesses in emerging markets like Brazil and Mexico.Scary MetaverseIn my opinion, investors are mostly scared by Mark Zuckerberg’s plans for the Metaverse and the huge expenses necessary. By focusing on the Metaverse (and seeing it as a huge cash-burning fantasy of a billionaire), they are overlooking that Meta Platforms is still a solid, highly profitable cash cow (yes it is, even when it will struggle for a few quarters). And the vision of the Metaverse is generating uncertainty, and investors don’t like uncertainty.And there are reasons to be cautious (or even pessimistic). In the last few weeks, disappointing data about the Metaverse has been reported – aboutusers not returningand fewer than 200k users signing up forthe Horizon World. And when looking at the results for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, revenue for the Reality Labs business segment was only $285 million and 49% lower than in the same quarter last year. And not very surprisingly, the segment had to report an operating loss once again - $3,672 million. And when looking at the last eight quarters, this is the biggest operating loss for the segment so far.Meta Platforms Q3/22 PresentationWhat shocked investors in particular was the fact that Meta Platforms won’t cut down on spendings and will continue to rely heavily on its vision of the Metaverse. While total expenses for fiscal 2022 are expected to be in the range of $85 billion to $87 billion, management is anticipating full year 2023 total expenses to be in the range of $96 billion to $101 billion. And management is also anticipating that Reality Labs operating losses will grow significantly year-over-year.And the voices are getting louder that Mark Zuckerberg should let go of his vision of the Metaverse and cut spendings to an absolute minimum.

The next year, legislation was passed that eased regulations on all but the largest banking institutions. It was music to the ears of capital markets awash in liquidity, low volatility, and high-risk tolerance. But in the midst of a sustained bout of blistering hot inflation that induced the U.S. Federal Reserve to whipsaw from effectively promising to keep interest rates pinned at 0% until at least 2024 this time two years ago to launching into its most aggressive rate hiking campaign since the 1970s this time a year ago, the consequences of such abrupt and dramatic monetary policy swings are now coming into view.

Yet for the past two weekends, that’s exactly what we’ve had to game out. During the weekend of March 11-12, we held our breath wondering whether the U.S. financial trinity – the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC – would come up with an emergency solution to save the financial system from rampant bank runs before the markets in Asia opened on Sunday night. The next weekend of March 18-19, we waited and wondered whether the Swiss would be able to arrange a shotgun merger between its two banking behemoths and prevent the meltdown of a Systemically Important Financial Institution (SIFI). What new crisis threatening the global financial system will we have to look forward to in the coming weekends? Only time will tell.</p><h2>Revising my teaching notes</h2><p>So as I prepare my Intro to Finance lecture discussing how creditors are paid in the event of a liquidation, the events of the past weekend have provided a whole new twist to the discussion. For when it comes to the order in which people traditionally get paid in liquidation, its secured debt holders first, then senior unsecured lenders, followed by junior subordinated debt holders, then preferred stockholders, and both last and least (and typically nothing at all) common stock holders. Needless to say it was eyebrow raising when in the case of Credit Suisse the subordinated debt holders got wiped out yet the common stock holders received $1 billion $2 billion $3 billion in a merger withUBSthat was completed without the customary shareholder approval vote.</p><p>Listen, I get it that there simply was not the time to get shareholders to vote on a deal that absolutely had to be done over a weekend, but not only exempting the rule of law but also having the deal structured in a way that leaves head scratching questions in terms of the way that it was structured is not the best for engendering investor confidence going forward. Something tells me that this may not be the last we hear AT1 debt and banking system instability uttered in the same sentence.</p><h2>Tightening lending standards</h2><p>If you are running a small or mid-sized regional bank, it has been a traumatic past two weeks. It has been particularly traumatic if you are among the small or mid-sized regional banks that exercised poor credit management by doing things like using your depositors&#39; money to load up on long-term Treasuries and MBS in 2021 just before they were set to lose as much as 30% of their value.</p><p>With this potential fight for survival in mind, you may be far less inclined today than you were two weeks ago as a small or mid-sized bank to lend money out to your institutional and retail customers. And if the regional banks that serve so many local communities across the country share this more cautious inclination, this means less home buying, less car buying, less consumer spending, less capital expenditures, and less hiring of new employees. Add all of these “less”es together, and you have an economic recession, just as we have seen several times in the recent past as evidenced in the chart below.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/73611566280cece7f6e202ae8736df42\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"480\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, Board of Governors</span></p><p>The deeply inverted yield curve has been screaming recession for quite a while now, and recent developments across the banking landscape have not only meaningfully improved the probability of recession, but also that any such recession is likely to be a bit deeper and longer than previously anticipated.</p><p>The fact that stocks continue to trade at a premium coupled with the fact that corporate earnings are still toward the high end of their historical range with considerable room to come back down suggests that the road ahead for stocks over the next few months could get a bit bumpy before it’s all said and done.</p><h2>The banking crisis may do the Fed’s work</h2><p>If one wants to try to put a silver lining on idiosyncratic bank failures and stressful weekends waiting for emergency policy rescues, a positive that is likely to come from the recent banking crises and the probable tightening of lending standards is that it is likely to bring down inflation both further and faster than we would have seen otherwise. As I often like to say to my Principles of Macro students, if you have too much money chasing too few goods, a great way to solve it is by simply taking money away from people. And since politicians on all sides of the political aisle no longer have the resolve to actually raise taxes on anyone other than the ultra-wealthy, raising interest rates and tightening lending standards are ways to do it. If people don’t have money, they can’t spend it, and inflation comes back down.</p><p>A sooner and deeper recession may actually help at risk banks. What has put so many small and mid-sized banks at risk has been the precipitous decline in long-term Treasury and MBS prices. But if inflation comes down and the economy falls into recession, both of these forces are typically meaningful tailwinds for these same securities as interest rates eventually come back down and investors take flight to safety. It’s an interesting thought pretzel to think that an economic recession could help fix the banking crisis while an ongoing economic expansion could send more banks over the edge.</p><h2>Who’s next</h2><p>Bringing this all back together, it is very likely that we are still in the very early stages of a banking crisis that may take many months to play out. It is important to remember that when the U.S. Federal Reserve raises interest rates, it historically takes upwards of twelve months before the tightening effects of the rate hike have fully worked their way through the economy. And given that the Fed only started hiking rates at this time last year, this means that only the first 25 bps rate hike from last year has fully come out the other side and we have 450 bps of interest rate hikes still making their way through the proverbial snake. This includes four consecutive 75 bps bombs from the middle to latter part of last year as well as the latest 25 bps cherry on top of the rate hiking cycle cake that the Fed delivered coming out of their latest FOMC meeting this Wednesday. Somehow, I have a sneaking suspicion we may someday look back with derision on this last rate hike. It will be interesting to see.</p><p>With all of this in mind, we should remain mindful that the stream of banks under stress may not be continuous as we continue through 2023. We may go through prolonged stretches where it looks like the problem is behind us (May 2008, anyone?) only to find a new set of problems emerge in a different segment of the financial sector. Thus, keeping a close eye on further rumbles across the financial sector is a prudent strategy as we move forward from here.</p><p>As for who’s next in the meantime, I am not breaking any news by saying that First Republic Bank (FRC) remains the institution to watch. The situation remains highly tenuous despite the repeated efforts of both public and private institutions to resuscitate the ailing bank. If First Republic ultimately succumbs, pressure on other at risk regional banking institutions is not only likely to persist but amplify. On the other hand, if First Republic perseveres, such a period of relief from immediate banking stress may follow.</p><h2>Who’s last</h2><p>If we go through a worst case scenario thought exercise, it’s reasonable to consider where the road might end in the current banking crisis. A name that is worth monitoring in this regard is Bank of America (BAC), which of course is one of the largest financial institutions in the world and among the top of the SIFI category. Of course, nothing at all is imminently at issue with Bank of America, but it does have a notably larger long-term bond portfolio relative to its major banking institution peers. As a result, it is worth monitoring as a back-end measure of underlying financial sector stress.</p><h2>We won’t get fooled again</h2><p>Oh no, we so will. A defining characteristic of financial markets and the policy makers that oversee them is a memory that seemingly lasts about 18 months to two years at most. Unfortunately, this leads markets and policy makers to unwittingly and repeatedly fall into the same traps, only through different means. Fortunately for investors, such dislocations lead to attractive opportunities for those that are prepared and positioned to capitalize. Thus, maintaining a sharp focus on potential downside risks such as ongoing banking industry volatility is a productive way to navigate short-term turbulence while seeking to capitalize on long-term upside.</p><p><i>This article is written by Eric Parnell, CFA for reference only.

But if inflation comes down and the economy falls into recession, both of these forces are typically meaningful tailwinds for these same securities as interest rates eventually come back down and investors take flight to safety. It’s an interesting thought pretzel to think that an economic recession could help fix the banking crisis while an ongoing economic expansion could send more banks over the edge.Who’s nextBringing this all back together, it is very likely that we are still in the very early stages of a banking crisis that may take many months to play out. It is important to remember that when the U.S. Federal Reserve raises interest rates, it historically takes upwards of twelve months before the tightening effects of the rate hike have fully worked their way through the economy. And given that the Fed only started hiking rates at this time last year, this means that only the first 25 bps rate hike from last year has fully come out the other side and we have 450 bps of interest rate hikes still making their way through the proverbial snake. This includes four consecutive 75 bps bombs from the middle to latter part of last year as well as the latest 25 bps cherry on top of the rate hiking cycle cake that the Fed delivered coming out of their latest FOMC meeting this Wednesday. Somehow, I have a sneaking suspicion we may someday look back with derision on this last rate hike. It will be interesting to see.With all of this in mind, we should remain mindful that the stream of banks under stress may not be continuous as we continue through 2023. We may go through prolonged stretches where it looks like the problem is behind us (May 2008, anyone?) only to find a new set of problems emerge in a different segment of the financial sector. Thus, keeping a close eye on further rumbles across the financial sector is a prudent strategy as we move forward from here.As for who’s next in the meantime, I am not breaking any news by saying that First Republic Bank (FRC) remains the institution to watch. The situation remains highly tenuous despite the repeated efforts of both public and private institutions to resuscitate the ailing bank. If First Republic ultimately succumbs, pressure on other at risk regional banking institutions is not only likely to persist but amplify. On the other hand, if First Republic perseveres, such a period of relief from immediate banking stress may follow.Who’s lastIf we go through a worst case scenario thought exercise, it’s reasonable to consider where the road might end in the current banking crisis. A name that is worth monitoring in this regard is Bank of America (BAC), which of course is one of the largest financial institutions in the world and among the top of the SIFI category. Of course, nothing at all is imminently at issue with Bank of America, but it does have a notably larger long-term bond portfolio relative to its major banking institution peers. As a result, it is worth monitoring as a back-end measure of underlying financial sector stress.We won’t get fooled againOh no, we so will. A defining characteristic of financial markets and the policy makers that oversee them is a memory that seemingly lasts about 18 months to two years at most. Unfortunately, this leads markets and policy makers to unwittingly and repeatedly fall into the same traps, only through different means. Fortunately for investors, such dislocations lead to attractive opportunities for those that are prepared and positioned to capitalize. Thus, maintaining a sharp focus on potential downside risks such as ongoing banking industry volatility is a productive way to navigate short-term turbulence while seeking to capitalize on long-term upside.This article is written by Eric Parnell, CFA for reference only.

The move has done little to hurt PLTR stock.</p><p>It always amuses me when the business media freak out because some big shot is selling a large number of shares in a particular company. In this instance,<i>Benzinga</i> reported on March 10 that Wood took her holdings in Palantir from well over 30 million shares in February down to zero in approximately 13 trades.</p><p>I say this all the time. Investors of every description sell for many reasons. They buy for one.</p><p>If you own Palantir, do not let Wood’s decision affect your view of the company. In the end, you could be right, and she could be wrong. It happens more often than you think.</p><p>Trust your gut. Do not listen to others. That includes me. Here’s why.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><b>PLTR</b></td><td>Palantir Technologies</td><td>$12.89</td></tr></tbody></table><p><b>PLTR Stock Was Less Than 3% of Ark Invest Assets</b></p><p>Wood’s biggest exchange traded fund (ETF) by assets is the <b>ARK Innovation ETF</b>(NYSEARCA:<b>ARKK</b>). It has a turnover rate of 71%. That’s not high by active standards, but it’s high enough. Stocks are going to get sacrificed in the name of better returns. Clearly, Wood felt there was a better place for the estimated $360 million ($12 x 30 million shares).</p><p>ARKK currently has $12.48 billion in total net assets. That means PLTR accounted for 2.9% of the ETF’s portfolio. So if Wood still held, it would be the 15th largest position. But, of course, we know that some of Wood’s other ETFs held Palantir stock, so it held an even less critical role within Ark Invest.</p><p>According to <i>WhaleWisdom</i>, Ark Invest held 35.3 million shares worth $642.5 million at the end of the fourth quarter. They accounted for 1.95% of the $33.1 billion listed on its latest 13F filing.</p><p>If Wood sold her entire position in <b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:<b>TSLA</b>), that would be an entirely different situation. Ark Invest has held TSLA since the fourth quarter of 2016. That’s more than 60 months ago or so. Palantir only becam ea public company 19 months ago. The level of commitment is entirely different.</p><p><b>The Proper Course of Action</b></p><p>My<i>InvestorPlace</i>colleague, Larry Ramer, recently said the following about Wood’s departure from Palantir:</p><blockquote>[F]unds managed by Cathie Wood, who for over a year was by far the most visible cheerleader for the company, have sold all of their PLTR stock. When a stock’s most famous bull throws in the towel on it, most investors are not going to want to own the shares for a long time</blockquote><p>Listen, Wood might have been vocal in her support for Palantir, but that’s her schtick. She gets out in front to support the stocks that she owns. I have no problem with cheerleading. She’s done a great job of defending Tesla over the years.</p><p>However, if you think that Wood holds a candle to Peter Thiel’s commitment to Palantir — he owns almost 164 million shares — you haven’t followed the company’s story very closely.</p><p>Like Wood selling Tesla, Thiel unloading Palantir would be a big deal. But, of course, he owns so much it might take him several years to unwind profitably.</p><p>Regular retail investors should pay little attention to what billionaires and money managers are selling and focus on what they’re buying. That’s what matters.</p><p>PLTR Stock Is a Buy for Those Not Easily Influenced</p><p>I would suggest that Palantir is not a stock you should own if you are influenced by what Cathie Wood is selling. She’s irrelevant to your investment decision.</p><p>Instead, it would be best if you were asking yourself why you bought it in the first place. If your thoughts about the company aren’t much different from when you first acquired its shares, you shouldn’t worry about what Cathie Wood is doing. Her interests are entirely different from yours.</p><p>In my last article about Palantir, I said that Palantir was an excellent long-term buy in the teens.

The move has done little to hurt PLTR stock.It always amuses me when the business media freak out because some big shot is selling a large number of shares in a particular company. In this instance,Benzinga reported on March 10 that Wood took her holdings in Palantir from well over 30 million shares in February down to zero in approximately 13 trades.I say this all the time. Investors of every description sell for many reasons. They buy for one.If you own Palantir, do not let Wood’s decision affect your view of the company. In the end, you could be right, and she could be wrong. It happens more often than you think.Trust your gut. Do not listen to others. That includes me. Here’s why.PLTRPalantir Technologies$12.89PLTR Stock Was Less Than 3% of Ark Invest AssetsWood’s biggest exchange traded fund (ETF) by assets is the ARK Innovation ETF(NYSEARCA:ARKK). It has a turnover rate of 71%. That’s not high by active standards, but it’s high enough. Stocks are going to get sacrificed in the name of better returns. Clearly, Wood felt there was a better place for the estimated $360 million ($12 x 30 million shares).ARKK currently has $12.48 billion in total net assets. That means PLTR accounted for 2.9% of the ETF’s portfolio. So if Wood still held, it would be the 15th largest position. But, of course, we know that some of Wood’s other ETFs held Palantir stock, so it held an even less critical role within Ark Invest.According to WhaleWisdom, Ark Invest held 35.3 million shares worth $642.5 million at the end of the fourth quarter. They accounted for 1.95% of the $33.1 billion listed on its latest 13F filing.If Wood sold her entire position in Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA), that would be an entirely different situation. Ark Invest has held TSLA since the fourth quarter of 2016. That’s more than 60 months ago or so. Palantir only becam ea public company 19 months ago. The level of commitment is entirely different.The Proper Course of ActionMyInvestorPlacecolleague, Larry Ramer, recently said the following about Wood’s departure from Palantir:[F]unds managed by Cathie Wood, who for over a year was by far the most visible cheerleader for the company, have sold all of their PLTR stock. When a stock’s most famous bull throws in the towel on it, most investors are not going to want to own the shares for a long timeListen, Wood might have been vocal in her support for Palantir, but that’s her schtick. She gets out in front to support the stocks that she owns. I have no problem with cheerleading. She’s done a great job of defending Tesla over the years.However, if you think that Wood holds a candle to Peter Thiel’s commitment to Palantir — he owns almost 164 million shares — you haven’t followed the company’s story very closely.Like Wood selling Tesla, Thiel unloading Palantir would be a big deal. But, of course, he owns so much it might take him several years to unwind profitably.Regular retail investors should pay little attention to what billionaires and money managers are selling and focus on what they’re buying. That’s what matters.PLTR Stock Is a Buy for Those Not Easily InfluencedI would suggest that Palantir is not a stock you should own if you are influenced by what Cathie Wood is selling. She’s irrelevant to your investment decision.Instead, it would be best if you were asking yourself why you bought it in the first place. If your thoughts about the company aren’t much different from when you first acquired its shares, you shouldn’t worry about what Cathie Wood is doing. Her interests are entirely different from yours.In my last article about Palantir, I said that Palantir was an excellent long-term buy in the teens. It’s dropped 29 cents in the six weeks since. I don’t believe anything has changed about its business. Its sales are growing, but it needs to scale to profitability. I think it will.Maybe Cathie Wood doesn’t and that’s why she sold. I couldn’t care less.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":199,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9094546916,"gmtCreate":1645194311474,"gmtModify":1676534007647,"author":{"id":"3576870128730279","authorId":"3576870128730279","authorIdStr":"3576870128730279","name":"Stevenhuat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9163f44563e6ca69553ecd9f2341e508","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576870128730279"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"This is trading and not value investing over 5-years horizon&nbsp;","listText":"This is trading and not value investing over 5-years horizon&nbsp;","text":"This is trading and not value investing over 5-years horizon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9094546916","repostId":"1194989459","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1194989459","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":1645190602,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1194989459?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-02-18 21:23","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Cathie Wood Dumps $56M In Palantir Shares After Dismal Earnings","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1194989459","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Cathie Wood-ledArk Investment Managementon Thursday significantly lowered its exposure toPalantir Technologies Incon the day shares of thePeterThiel-backed company plummeted after it reported worse-than-expected quarterly earnings.The popular investment managementfirm sold 4.77 million shares — estimated to be worth $56.2 million based on Thursday’s closing — in the big data company.Palantir stock closed 15.7% lower at $11.7 a share on Thursday.

Its government business, which aims to become the &#34;default operating system for data across the U.S. government,&#34; has traditionally grown faster than its commercial business.</p><p>But over the past three quarters, its commercial business has grown at a faster rate than its government business. That slowdown raises troubling questions about brewing competition from other data mining platforms and internally developed alternatives within the U.S. government.</p><p>Palantir&#39;s revenue rose 47% to $1.09 billion in 2020 and grew 41% to $1.54 billion in 2021.</p><p>It insists it will generate at least 30% annual revenue growth through 2025, but it&#39;s off to a rough start this year: Its revenue rose 31% in the first quarter, but it expects just 25% growth in the second quarter. It believes its growth will improve in the second half of the year as it secures more &#34;anticipated&#34; contracts, but analysts expect just 29% growth this year.</p><p>Palantir&#39;s adjusted gross and operating margins also fell both sequentially and year over year in the first quarter of 2022. For the full year, it expects its adjusted operating margin to decline about four percentage points to 27% as it ramps up its investments &#34;in advance&#34; of future contracts. It isn&#39;t profitable on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis yet, but analysts expect its non-GAAP EPS to improve 23% this year.</p><p>Palantir&#39;s business is still expanding, but its slowing growth, shrinking margins, and lack of GAAP profits made it an unappealing investment as the macro headwinds drove investors away from riskier growth plays.</p><p><b>Amazon faces tough post-pandemic challenges</b></p><p>Amazon generates most of its revenue from its e-commerce marketplaces, but most of its profits come from Amazon Web Services (AWS), the largest cloud infrastructure platform in the world. Both of these businesses fired on all cylinders throughout the pandemic, as more people shopped online and companies ramped up their spending on cloud-based services.</p><p>But as the lockdown measures were relaxed, Amazon&#39;s e-commerce growth decelerated while its expenses surged amid rising fuel costs, supply chain challenges, and other inflationary headwinds. It invested in the electric truck maker <b>Rivian</b> to offset those long-term costs, but that poorly timed investment resulted in a pre-tax loss of $7.6 billion (compared to its total net loss of $3.8 billion) last quarter.</p><p>That staggering loss tarnished the bullish thesis that Amazon could consistently subsidize its lower-margin retail business with AWS&#39; higher-margin revenue. AWS is still the market leader and generating more than 30% revenue growth each quarter, but this core profit engine could struggle to offset the losses of Amazon&#39;s other businesses later this year.</p><p>Amazon&#39;s revenue rose 38% to $386 billion in 2020 and grew 22% to $470 billion in 2021. Its EPS increased 82% in 2020, even as it incurred billions of dollars of COVID-19-related expenses, and grew 55% in 2021. But this year, analysts expect its revenue to grow a mere 12% as its EPS tumbles 75%.</p><p>Just like Palantir, Amazon&#39;s toxic mix of slowing growth and rising expenses made it a difficult stock to own.</p><p><b>But Amazon has a better shot at a recovery</b></p><p>Palantir&#39;s stock trades at 43 times forward earnings and nine times this year&#39;s sales. It still isn&#39;t cheap relative to similar growth stocks like <b>Twilio</b>, which aims to generate more than 30% organic revenue growth through 2024 but trades at just five times this year&#39;s sales.</p><p>Amazon trades at 42 times forward earnings and two times this year&#39;s sales. That&#39;s a high price-to-earnings ratio for a traditional retailer but a low price-to-sales ratio for an e-commerce or cloud infrastructure company. Those mixed valuations should limit its downside potential, but Amazon&#39;s stock probably won&#39;t rally until its e-commerce business stabilizes.</p><p>I wouldn&#39;t rush to buy either of these stocks right now. But if I had to choose one over the other, I&#39;d definitely stick with Amazon because it&#39;s larger, better diversified, and more profitable. Palantir&#39;s future is still highly speculative, and its recent slowdown suggests that its long-term target of at least 30% revenue growth through 2025 might be too ambitious.</p><p></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>Better Buy: Palantir Technologies vs. Amazon</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\">\nBetter Buy: Palantir Technologies vs. Amazon\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-05-19 09:43 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/05/18/better-buy-palantir-technologies-vs-amazon/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSPalantir’s slowdown raises questions about its goal of generating more than 30% annual revenue growth through 2025.Amazon’s e-commerce business faces tough macro headwinds in a post-lockdown...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/05/18/better-buy-palantir-technologies-vs-amazon/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PLTR":"Palantir Technologies Inc.","AMZN":"亚马逊"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/05/18/better-buy-palantir-technologies-vs-amazon/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2236757950","content_text":"KEY POINTSPalantir’s slowdown raises questions about its goal of generating more than 30% annual revenue growth through 2025.Amazon’s e-commerce business faces tough macro headwinds in a post-lockdown world.One of these stocks is still more speculative than the other.Palantir and Amazon both burned the bulls after their stocks hit all-time highs last year.Palantir's stock started trading at $10 after the data-mining firm went public via a direct listing in September 2020.

Its government business, which aims to become the \"default operating system for data across the U.S. government,\" has traditionally grown faster than its commercial business.But over the past three quarters, its commercial business has grown at a faster rate than its government business. That slowdown raises troubling questions about brewing competition from other data mining platforms and internally developed alternatives within the U.S. government.Palantir's revenue rose 47% to $1.09 billion in 2020 and grew 41% to $1.54 billion in 2021.It insists it will generate at least 30% annual revenue growth through 2025, but it's off to a rough start this year: Its revenue rose 31% in the first quarter, but it expects just 25% growth in the second quarter. It believes its growth will improve in the second half of the year as it secures more \"anticipated\" contracts, but analysts expect just 29% growth this year.Palantir's adjusted gross and operating margins also fell both sequentially and year over year in the first quarter of 2022. For the full year, it expects its adjusted operating margin to decline about four percentage points to 27% as it ramps up its investments \"in advance\" of future contracts. It isn't profitable on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis yet, but analysts expect its non-GAAP EPS to improve 23% this year.Palantir's business is still expanding, but its slowing growth, shrinking margins, and lack of GAAP profits made it an unappealing investment as the macro headwinds drove investors away from riskier growth plays.Amazon faces tough post-pandemic challengesAmazon generates most of its revenue from its e-commerce marketplaces, but most of its profits come from Amazon Web Services (AWS), the largest cloud infrastructure platform in the world. Both of these businesses fired on all cylinders throughout the pandemic, as more people shopped online and companies ramped up their spending on cloud-based services.But as the lockdown measures were relaxed, Amazon's e-commerce growth decelerated while its expenses surged amid rising fuel costs, supply chain challenges, and other inflationary headwinds. It invested in the electric truck maker Rivian to offset those long-term costs, but that poorly timed investment resulted in a pre-tax loss of $7.6 billion (compared to its total net loss of $3.8 billion) last quarter.That staggering loss tarnished the bullish thesis that Amazon could consistently subsidize its lower-margin retail business with AWS' higher-margin revenue. AWS is still the market leader and generating more than 30% revenue growth each quarter, but this core profit engine could struggle to offset the losses of Amazon's other businesses later this year.Amazon's revenue rose 38% to $386 billion in 2020 and grew 22% to $470 billion in 2021. Its EPS increased 82% in 2020, even as it incurred billions of dollars of COVID-19-related expenses, and grew 55% in 2021. But this year, analysts expect its revenue to grow a mere 12% as its EPS tumbles 75%.Just like Palantir, Amazon's toxic mix of slowing growth and rising expenses made it a difficult stock to own.But Amazon has a better shot at a recoveryPalantir's stock trades at 43 times forward earnings and nine times this year's sales. It still isn't cheap relative to similar growth stocks like Twilio, which aims to generate more than 30% organic revenue growth through 2024 but trades at just five times this year's sales.Amazon trades at 42 times forward earnings and two times this year's sales. That's a high price-to-earnings ratio for a traditional retailer but a low price-to-sales ratio for an e-commerce or cloud infrastructure company. Those mixed valuations should limit its downside potential, but Amazon's stock probably won't rally until its e-commerce business stabilizes.I wouldn't rush to buy either of these stocks right now. But if I had to choose one over the other, I'd definitely stick with Amazon because it's larger, better diversified, and more profitable. Palantir's future is still highly speculative, and its recent slowdown suggests that its long-term target of at least 30% revenue growth through 2025 might be too ambitious.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":55,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9987672906,"gmtCreate":1667907602205,"gmtModify":1676537982790,"author":{"id":"3576870128730279","authorId":"3576870128730279","authorIdStr":"3576870128730279","name":"Stevenhuat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9163f44563e6ca69553ecd9f2341e508","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576870128730279"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Which counter is not affected by macro environment now?","listText":"Which counter is not affected by macro environment now?","text":"Which counter is not affected by macro environment now?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9987672906","repostId":"1168988955","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":199,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9985767930,"gmtCreate":1667467878020,"gmtModify":1676537923129,"author":{"id":"3576870128730279","authorId":"3576870128730279","authorIdStr":"3576870128730279","name":"Stevenhuat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9163f44563e6ca69553ecd9f2341e508","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576870128730279"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Not comfortable how the funds could be deployed freely for metaverse dream","listText":"Not comfortable how the funds could be deployed freely for metaverse dream","text":"Not comfortable how the funds could be deployed freely for metaverse dream","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9985767930","repostId":"1113649059","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":167,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
