The contrast between these two stocks is so stark that it not only serves to show a specific investment opportunity but also serves as a general example of market psychology. Admittedly, these two stocks are not entirely comparable and there are certainly differences. Some of the uncertainties and risks faced by BABA are not shared by AMZN.</p><p>And my thesis here is that the current market valuation has already priced in all the risks surrounding BABA. More specifically,</p><ul><li>BABA&#39;s stock price has recently become dominated by market sentiment and disconnected from fundamentals. Its stock prices easily fluctuated 10%-plus in a few days or even a single day recently in response to news and sentiments that may or may not have direct relevance to its business fundamentals. On the other hand, AMZN&#39;s stock price seemed to be immune from news and fundamentals. It has been trading sideways in a narrow range (and at an elevated valuation) despite its mounting cash flow issues and all the geopolitical and macroeconomic risks.</li><li>As shown in the next chart, both BABA and AMZN are valued at about 1.8x and 3.2x price to sales ratio, respectively, a discount by almost a factor of 2x (1.8x to be exact). As we look deeper next, the discount becomes even larger than on the surface. The second chart compares the profit margin between BABA and Amazon. BABA&#39;s EBIT profit margin is almost twice that of Amazon - not only shows BABA&#39;s superior profitability (and AMZN&#39;s concerning and deteriorating profitability) but also further highlights the valuation gap. The sales of BABA should be worth about 2x as valuable as that of AMZN because of the higher margin, but the current valuation is the opposite. And as you were seeing the remainder of this article, BABA also enjoys superior fundamentals in other keys aspects, such as R&amp;D output, return on capital employed, and growth potential.</li><li>Finally, aside from their drastically different valuations, there are many comparable aspects between these two e-commerce giants. And a comparison between them could also provide insights into the evolving e-commerce landscape. Comparing what they are researching and developing gives us a peek at the future investment direction in this space.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/edc32a62854da273e12174d4c8743211\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"229\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9307ef042b92a9964176e9d55e850efc\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"228\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p><b>Both R&amp;D aggressively but BABA enjoys way better yield</b></p><p>As mentioned in our earlier writings, we do not invest in a given tech stock because we have high confidence in a certain product that they are developing in the pipeline. Instead, we are more focused on A) the recurring resources available to fund new R&amp;D efforts sustainably, and B) the overall efficiency of the R&amp;D <i>process</i>.</p><p>So let&#39;s first see how well and sustainably BABA and AMZN can fund their new R&amp;D efforts. The short answer is: Extremely well. The next chart shows the R&amp;D expenses of BABA and AMZN over the past decade. As seen, both have been consistently investing heavily in R&amp;D in recent years. AMZN didn&#39;t spend meaningfully on R&amp;D before 2016. But since 2016, AMZN on average has been spending about 12% of its total revenue on R&amp;D efforts. And BABA spends a bit less, on average 10%. Both levels are consistent with the average of other overachievers in the tech space, such as the FAAMG group.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b7e323032c8f5c21cefbaad05f431d0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"363\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Author based on Seeking Alpha data</span></p><p>Then the next question is, how effective is their R&amp;D process? This is where the contrast kicks in as shown in the next chart. The chart shows a variation of Buffett&#39;s $1 test on R&amp;D expenses. Advised by Buffett, we do not only listen to CEOs&#39; pitches on their brilliant new ideas that will shake the earth (again). We also examine the financials to see if their words are corroborated by the numbers. And in BABA and AMZN&#39;s cases, their numbers are shown here. The analysis method is detailed in our earlier writings and in summary:</p><blockquote><ul><li><i>The purpose of any corporate R&amp;D is obviously to generate profit. Therefore, this analysis quantifies the yield by taking the ratio between profit and R&amp;D expenditures. We used the operating cash flow as the measure for profit.</i></li><li><i>Also, most R&amp;D investments do not produce any result in the same year. They typically have a lifetime of a few years. Therefore, this analysis assumes a three-year average investment cycle for R&amp;D. And as a result, we used the three-year moving average of operating cash flow to represent this three-year cycle.</i></li></ul></blockquote><p>As you can see, the R&amp;D yield for both has been remarkably consistent although at different levels. In BABA&#39;s case, its R&amp;D yield has been steady around an average of $3.3 in recent years. This level of R&amp;D yield is very competitive even among the overachieving FAAMG group. The FAAMG group boasts an average R&amp;D yield of around $2 to $2.5 in recent years. And the only one that generates a significantly high R&amp;D yield in this group is Apple (AAPL), which generates an R&amp;D yield of $4.7 of profit output from every $1 of R&amp;D expenses.</p><p>AMZN&#39;s R&amp;D yield of $0.9, on the other hand, is substantially lower than BABA&#39;s and is also the lowest among the FAAMG group. And note that since AMZN didn&#39;t spend meaningfully on R&amp;D before 2016, we only started reporting its R&amp;D yield starting in 2016.</p><p>Next, we will examine their profitability to fuel their R&amp;D efforts sustainably and also dive into some of the specific R&amp;D efforts they are undertaking.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/900e44a75dee8b7ca4ba98a4fd84fe9f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"347\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Author</span></p><p><b>BABA enjoys far superior profitability</b></p><p>As explained in our earlier writings, to us, the most important profitability measure is ROCE (return on capital employed) because:</p><blockquote><i>ROCE considers the return of capital ACTUALLY employed and therefore provides insight into how much additional capital a business needs to invest in order to earn a given extra amount of income - a key to estimating the long-term growth rate. Because when we think as long-term business owners, the growth rate is &#34;simply&#34; the product of ROCE and reinvestment rate, i.e.,</i></blockquote><blockquote><i>Long-Term Growth Rate = ROCE * Reinvestment Rate</i></blockquote><p>The ROCE of both stocks has been detailed in our earlier articles and I will just directly quote the results below. In this analysis, I consider the following items capital actually employed A) Working capital (including payables, receivables, inventory), B) Gross Property, Plant, and Equipment, and C) Research and development expenses are also capitalized. As you can see, BABA was able to maintain a remarkably high ROCE over the past decade. It has been astronomical in the early part of the decade exceeding 150%. It has declined due to all the drama in recent years that you are familiar with (China&#39;s tightened regulations, high tax rates, slow-down of the overall economic growth in China, et al). But still, its ROCE is on average about 95% in recent years.</p><p>AMZN&#39;s ROCE has shown a similar pattern. It too has enjoyed a much higher ROCE in the early part of the decade. And it too has witnessed a steady decline over the years. In recent years, its ROCE has been relatively low, with an average of around 29%. A ROCE of 29% is still a healthy level (my estimate of the ROCE for the overall economy is about 20%).

In terms of absolute volume, as you can see from the following chart, global retail e-commerce sales have reached $4.2 trillion in 2020. And it&#39;s projected to almost double by 2026, reaching $7.4 trillion of revenues in the retail e-commerce business. The e-commerce movement is just getting started and the bulk of the growth opportunity is yet to come.

It has recently announced offerings such as Cloud WAN, a managed wide area network, and Amplify Studio, a new visual development environment.

As shown in the chart above, world retail e-commerce sales are expected to exceed $7.3 trillion by 2025. The twist is that the Asian-Pacific region will be where most of the growth will be. By 2023, the Western continents will contribute 16% of the total B2B e-commerce volume, while the remaining 84% would come from the non-Western world.

The contrast between these two stocks is so stark that it not only serves to show a specific investment opportunity but also serves as a general example of market psychology. Admittedly, these two stocks are not entirely comparable and there are certainly differences. Some of the uncertainties and risks faced by BABA are not shared by AMZN.And my thesis here is that the current market valuation has already priced in all the risks surrounding BABA. More specifically,BABA's stock price has recently become dominated by market sentiment and disconnected from fundamentals. Its stock prices easily fluctuated 10%-plus in a few days or even a single day recently in response to news and sentiments that may or may not have direct relevance to its business fundamentals. On the other hand, AMZN's stock price seemed to be immune from news and fundamentals. It has been trading sideways in a narrow range (and at an elevated valuation) despite its mounting cash flow issues and all the geopolitical and macroeconomic risks.As shown in the next chart, both BABA and AMZN are valued at about 1.8x and 3.2x price to sales ratio, respectively, a discount by almost a factor of 2x (1.8x to be exact). As we look deeper next, the discount becomes even larger than on the surface. The second chart compares the profit margin between BABA and Amazon. BABA's EBIT profit margin is almost twice that of Amazon - not only shows BABA's superior profitability (and AMZN's concerning and deteriorating profitability) but also further highlights the valuation gap. The sales of BABA should be worth about 2x as valuable as that of AMZN because of the higher margin, but the current valuation is the opposite. And as you were seeing the remainder of this article, BABA also enjoys superior fundamentals in other keys aspects, such as R&D output, return on capital employed, and growth potential.Finally, aside from their drastically different valuations, there are many comparable aspects between these two e-commerce giants. And a comparison between them could also provide insights into the evolving e-commerce landscape. Comparing what they are researching and developing gives us a peek at the future investment direction in this space.Seeking AlphaSeeking AlphaBoth R&D aggressively but BABA enjoys way better yieldAs mentioned in our earlier writings, we do not invest in a given tech stock because we have high confidence in a certain product that they are developing in the pipeline. Instead, we are more focused on A) the recurring resources available to fund new R&D efforts sustainably, and B) the overall efficiency of the R&D process.So let's first see how well and sustainably BABA and AMZN can fund their new R&D efforts. The short answer is: Extremely well. The next chart shows the R&D expenses of BABA and AMZN over the past decade. As seen, both have been consistently investing heavily in R&D in recent years. AMZN didn't spend meaningfully on R&D before 2016. But since 2016, AMZN on average has been spending about 12% of its total revenue on R&D efforts. And BABA spends a bit less, on average 10%. Both levels are consistent with the average of other overachievers in the tech space, such as the FAAMG group.Author based on Seeking Alpha dataThen the next question is, how effective is their R&D process? This is where the contrast kicks in as shown in the next chart. The chart shows a variation of Buffett's $1 test on R&D expenses. Advised by Buffett, we do not only listen to CEOs' pitches on their brilliant new ideas that will shake the earth (again). We also examine the financials to see if their words are corroborated by the numbers. And in BABA and AMZN's cases, their numbers are shown here. The analysis method is detailed in our earlier writings and in summary:The purpose of any corporate R&D is obviously to generate profit. Therefore, this analysis quantifies the yield by taking the ratio between profit and R&D expenditures. We used the operating cash flow as the measure for profit.Also, most R&D investments do not produce any result in the same year. They typically have a lifetime of a few years. Therefore, this analysis assumes a three-year average investment cycle for R&D. And as a result, we used the three-year moving average of operating cash flow to represent this three-year cycle.As you can see, the R&D yield for both has been remarkably consistent although at different levels. In BABA's case, its R&D yield has been steady around an average of $3.3 in recent years. This level of R&D yield is very competitive even among the overachieving FAAMG group. The FAAMG group boasts an average R&D yield of around $2 to $2.5 in recent years. And the only one that generates a significantly high R&D yield in this group is Apple (AAPL), which generates an R&D yield of $4.7 of profit output from every $1 of R&D expenses.AMZN's R&D yield of $0.9, on the other hand, is substantially lower than BABA's and is also the lowest among the FAAMG group. And note that since AMZN didn't spend meaningfully on R&D before 2016, we only started reporting its R&D yield starting in 2016.Next, we will examine their profitability to fuel their R&D efforts sustainably and also dive into some of the specific R&D efforts they are undertaking.AuthorBABA enjoys far superior profitabilityAs explained in our earlier writings, to us, the most important profitability measure is ROCE (return on capital employed) because:ROCE considers the return of capital ACTUALLY employed and therefore provides insight into how much additional capital a business needs to invest in order to earn a given extra amount of income - a key to estimating the long-term growth rate. Because when we think as long-term business owners, the growth rate is \"simply\" the product of ROCE and reinvestment rate, i.e.,Long-Term Growth Rate = ROCE * Reinvestment RateThe ROCE of both stocks has been detailed in our earlier articles and I will just directly quote the results below. In this analysis, I consider the following items capital actually employed A) Working capital (including payables, receivables, inventory), B) Gross Property, Plant, and Equipment, and C) Research and development expenses are also capitalized. As you can see, BABA was able to maintain a remarkably high ROCE over the past decade. It has been astronomical in the early part of the decade exceeding 150%. It has declined due to all the drama in recent years that you are familiar with (China's tightened regulations, high tax rates, slow-down of the overall economic growth in China, et al). But still, its ROCE is on average about 95% in recent years.AMZN's ROCE has shown a similar pattern. It too has enjoyed a much higher ROCE in the early part of the decade. And it too has witnessed a steady decline over the years. In recent years, its ROCE has been relatively low, with an average of around 29%. A ROCE of 29% is still a healthy level (my estimate of the ROCE for the overall economy is about 20%). However, it's not comparable to BABA or other overachievers in the FAANG pack.Next, we will examine their key segments and initiatives to form a projection of their future profitability and growth drivers.AuthorGrowth prospects and final verdictLooking forward, I see both as well poised to benefit from the secular trend of e-commerce penetration. When we are so used to the American way of online shopping, it's easy to form the impression that e-commerce has already saturated. The reality is that the global e-commerce penetration is still ONLY at about 20% currently. Meaning 80% of the commerce is still currently conducted offline. In terms of absolute volume, as you can see from the following chart, global retail e-commerce sales have reached $4.2 trillion in 2020.

The e-commerce movement is just getting started and the bulk of the growth opportunity is yet to come. And leaders like BABA and AMZN are both best poised to capitalize on this secular trend.OBERLO dataI also see both enjoy tremendous growth opportunities in other areas besides e-commerce.

These segments all show promise for profitability and growth in the near future to maintain their high R&D yield and high ROCE. Similarly, AMZN's AWS unit is expected to grow significantly in the near future to help lift the bottom line. It has recently announced offerings such as Cloud WAN, a managed wide area network, and Amplify Studio, a new visual development environment. Moreover, AMZN's also announced the planned $8.45 billion purchase of MGM Movie Studios, and I'm optimistic about the synergies with its streaming businesses.Also, I do see some asymmetric growth opportunities for BABA. As aforementioned, both stocks are best poised to capitalize on the world's unstoppable shift toward e-commerce.

However, a death cross materialized in the small-capitalization oriented Russell 2000 index at the start of 2022, FactSet data show.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":401,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9093347268,"gmtCreate":1643534599339,"gmtModify":1676533829362,"author":{"id":"3577096177015881","authorId":"3577096177015881","name":"ET88","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/972aa6dd92772d6bf44c97a3096c29b6","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577096177015881","authorIdStr":"3577096177015881"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"join&nbsp;Tiger ski.","listText":"join&nbsp;Tiger ski.","text":"join Tiger ski.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9093347268","repostId":"9004448317","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":9004448317,"gmtCreate":1642676525258,"gmtModify":1676533734534,"author":{"id":"3527667667103859","authorId":"3527667667103859","name":"TigerEvents","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c266ef25181ace18bec1262357bbe1a8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3527667667103859","authorIdStr":"3527667667103859"},"themes":[],"title":"Join Tiger Ski Championship, Win a Bonus of Up to USD 2022","htmlText":"2022 is the Year of Tiger in Chinese lunar calendar, it’s also a special year for Tiger Brokers.

But even more importantly, its free cash flow (FCF) grew substantially, both in absolute numbers and FCF margins. As a result, I believe that GOOG stock is now worth at least 30% more or $3,554 per share. This article will describe how I came up with that valuation.</p>\n<p>On July 27, Alphabet, the parent of online search engine Google that makes most of its money from advertising, reported a huge 62% revenue gain on a year-0ver-year (YOY) basis. Even on a quarter-over-quarter basis, its revenue of $61.88 billion in Q2 grew by 11.87% from $55.314 billion in Q1.</p>\n<p>That implies an annualized run rate of 56.6%. So that coincides with its historical 62% YOY rate, implying that next year the company will show 57% YOY revenue growth.</p>\n<p>Of course, this assumes that advertising growth — and the economy in general — stay red hot.</p>\n<p><b>Estimating Google’s FCF</b></p>\n<p>But more importantly, its FCF rose to $16.394 billion, which can beseen on page 7of the earnings release. Alphabet is one of the few companies that help investors by calculating their own FCF figures. For example, last quarter its FCF was $13.347 billion (also onpage 7 of the Q1 report). This shows that its quarterly FCF growth was 22.83% just on a QOQ basis. That implies a huge run rate growth rate, although this is not what I will use to project out its future FCF.</p>\n<p>I think it is better to look at Alphabet’s FCF margins to forecast its future FCF. For example, in Q2 its $16.4 billion FCF represents 26.5% of its $61.88 billion in revenue. That is a huge gain over its FCF margins. Dividing $13.347 billion in Q1 FCF by revenue of $55.314 billion shows that Q1 FCF margins were just 24.1%.</p>\n<p>So, going forward let’s estimate that FCF will be 26.5% of its forecast revenue. For example,<i>Seeking Alpha</i>shows that analystsproject 2021 revenue of $250.29 billion. That implies its 2021 FCF will be $66.3 billion this year. But this is likely now already implied or discounted in the GOOG stock price.</p>\n<p>We should probably use 2022 estimates since the market will soon start valuing GOOG stock on its 2002 numbers. Seeking Alpha indicates $286.36 billion for 2022. Applying the 26.5% FCF margin to this estimate yields an FCF estimate of $75.89 billion. That is substantially higher than the estimates for 2021 FCF. We can now use this to value GOOG stock.</p>\n<p><b>What GOOG Stock Is Now Worth</b></p>\n<p>One way to value GOOG stock is to use its historical FCF yield and apply it to our future FCF estimate. For example, in the trailing 12 months (TTM) to June 30, Alphabet produced $58.536 billion in FCF. This can be seen on<i>Seeking Alpha’s</i>historical FCF pageby subtracting its TTM capex from its TTM cash flow from operations. Here is how we will use this.</p>\n<p>First, we calculate its historical TTM FCF yield. For example, the company now has a market capitalization of $1.826 trillion, according to<i>Yahoo! Finance</i>, which usually has the best calculations. Therefore, if we divide its TTM FCF of $58.536 by its $1,826 billion market cap, the FCF yield works out to 3.2%.</p>\n<p>Next, we can divide our forecast of $75.89 billion in 2022 FCF by its TTM FCF yield of 3.2%. That derives a new target market value of $2.37 trillion. In other words, GOOG stock has a target market cap that is 29.88% higher than today’s price. Therefore, using yesterday’s closing price of $2,730.81, its target price is $3,546 per share.</p>\n<p><b>What To Do With GOOG Stock</b></p>\n<p>In other words, starting with the company’s much higher FCF margins and projecting these out against 2022 revenue, GOOG stock should rise at least 30% sometime over the next year. That assumes a fairly high 3.2% FCF yield. It is very possible that the yield could rise, which would lower the target price.</p>\n<p>For example, consider this. Above, we projected that Alphabet will produce $66.3 billion in FCF this year. But that represents a higher 3.63% FCF yield on today’s $1,826 billion market cap. Applying this higher 3.63% FCF yield to its 2022 estimates would result in a lower price target than my 30% expected gain.</p>\n<p>I don’t think that is what will happen in reality. Don’t forget that we assume that the company will have a much higher FCF margin in 2022 than its historical TTM FCF. Therefore, the value of the company should be higher. That implies the FCF yield should be low such as the 3.2% FCF yield I used. If you are following me so far, this means that my projections are likely to come to pass on a historical basis, albeit in the future.</p>\n<p>Bottom line — GOOG stock is a buy, as it is likely to move at least 30% higher assuming its FCF stays as strong as just shown in Q2.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Alphabet Is Worth $3,554 Based on Its Powerful Free Cash Flow</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\">\nAlphabet Is Worth $3,554 Based on Its Powerful Free Cash Flow\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-01 10:52 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/07/goog-stock-is-worth-3554-or-30-percent-more-based-on-26-5-percent-fcf-margins/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>GOOG stock will benefit in 2022 from its higher FCF margins, so that with a 3.2% FCF yield it will be worth 30% more.\n\nAlphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) just reported stellar second-quarter results,...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2021/07/goog-stock-is-worth-3554-or-30-percent-more-based-on-26-5-percent-fcf-margins/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"09086":"华夏纳指-U","QNETCN":"纳斯达克中美互联网老虎指数","03086":"华夏纳指","GOOGL":"谷歌A","GOOG":"谷歌"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2021/07/goog-stock-is-worth-3554-or-30-percent-more-based-on-26-5-percent-fcf-margins/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1122171439","content_text":"GOOG stock will benefit in 2022 from its higher FCF margins, so that with a 3.2% FCF yield it will be worth 30% more.\n\nAlphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) just reported stellar second-quarter results, in terms of both revenue and earnings.

Reuters reports the online retailer is running out of space and available labor.\nAmazon has almost doubled its network of warehouses in an 18 month period, although more investments are being planned.\nWhy it’s important: Amazon is “running out of labor,” according to Andrea Leigh, vice president at e-commerce optimization firm Ideoclick, who formerly worked at the company. A job posting for employees for an Amazon warehouse in Montgomery NY, 60 miles northwest of New York City, was offering a $3,000 bonus for recruits to begin working before July 1.\nThe company currently employs 1,335,00 full and part-time workers.\nWhat’s next: Amazon is set to add 517 facilities to its global distribution network in the years ahead, that’s 176 million additional square feet being added to 402 million square feet the company currently utilizes, according to logistics consultancy MWPVL International.\nOver the past 12 months Amazon has increased capital expenditures and equipment leases by 74% to $54.5 billion.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":233,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":802399668,"gmtCreate":1627714555754,"gmtModify":1703495140949,"author":{"id":"3577096177015881","authorId":"3577096177015881","name":"ET88","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/972aa6dd92772d6bf44c97a3096c29b6","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577096177015881","authorIdStr":"3577096177015881"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pumping more $$$","listText":"Pumping more $$$","text":"Pumping more $$$","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/802399668","repostId":"1186334150","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1186334150","pubTimestamp":1627713845,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1186334150?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-31 14:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Infrastructure Spending Is on Its Way.

The last time Singapore breached this level was in July 2018, during the initial phases of the US-China trade war.\n“However, any weakness in the SGD should be capped by the economy being in a much more resilient position than other Asian markets, due to the fast progress in vaccinating the population,” it added. “This puts Singapore in a much more resilient position compared to most other Asian economies and the SGD could benefit from some degree of safe-haven flows from elsewhere in the region as the year progresses, limiting prospects for further depreciation beyond our identified trading range.”\nFor the long term, Fitch expects a strong recovery in exports to support the currency in 2022, but balanced by the risk of a potentially more hawkish US Fed if above-2% target inflation persists.\nFitch Solutions identified as a key risk the possibility of a COVID-19 variant that can bypass existing vaccines, which could force Singapore to implement further lockdowns.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":367,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":809822515,"gmtCreate":1627359420737,"gmtModify":1703488350726,"author":{"id":"3577096177015881","authorId":"3577096177015881","name":"ET88","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/972aa6dd92772d6bf44c97a3096c29b6","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577096177015881","authorIdStr":"3577096177015881"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yay!&nbsp;","listText":"Yay!&nbsp;","text":"Yay!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/809822515","repostId":"1190848120","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1190848120","pubTimestamp":1627356244,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1190848120?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-27 11:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMD Reports Earnings Tuesday.

After all, Netflix has been warning for months that growth would slow in 2021 compared to the phenomenal signup rate at the start of the pandemic lockdown last year. And yes, brace for a huge base effect hit:<i>in the second quarter of 2020, the service added 10 million new customers, second only to the 15.77 million it added in the record first quarter of 2020.</i></p>\n<p>To be sure, despite a series of hit or miss earnings, the company has been riding a wave of optimism, its stock soaring in early 2021. Still, after hitting to a record high in January, the stock has traded rangbeound, unable to break out to a new high, for the past seven months. And while there’s no doubt that viewership has surged during the Covid-19 lockdowns in the U.S. and much of the world, there are complications: the virus has brought TV and film production to a halt, a situation that may only get more dire for Netflix as the months wear on. But the biggest question remains<b>how many future subs has covid brought to the present, and tied to that - will the panic over the Delta strain lead to another mini burst in subscribers in the coming quater(s)?</b></p>\n<p>Indicatively, consensus expects just 1.12 million new subscribers to be added in the second quarter, just above the company's own projection of 1 million new subs. Revenue are expected to come in at $7.32 billion, up from $7.16 billion last quarter, and resulting in EPS of $3.36, down slightly from last quarter's $3.75. This, as streaming video remains on a hot streak since the pandemic struck.</p>\n<p>Previewing the quarterly result, Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Geetha Ranganathan and Amine Bensaid cautioned that Netflix’s massive 2020 is leading to more muted subscriber gains this year: \"Netflix will continue to feel the aftereffects of a super-charged 1H20, with a massive pull-forward of demand prompting tempered expectations for 1 million additions in 2Q, its lowest quarterly level since 4Q11. The pull-forward may have also been amplified by price increases and pent-up demand for outdoor entertainment leading to uncertainty in 3Q guidance, though the return of several high-profile titles (‘Witcher,’ ‘Cobra Kai,’ ‘You’ and ‘Money Heist’) will be a clear catalyst for normalizing subscriber gains from 4Q and into 2022.\"</p>\n<p>LightShed Partners media analyst Rich Greenfield published what he sees as the key questions Netflix investors should ask management after its earnings report. Among them are when Netflix’s subscriber growth will normalize, whether India can be a meaningful driver of profitability, and where the company sees opportunities in video games. Greenfield asks: “Is the goal to leverage IP you create for TV/film or create original video game IP that can be leveraged into TV/film production?”</p>\n<p>Another thing to watch out for is how a slowdown in production last year is affecting the service. The filming of new shows and movies basically came to a standstill in early 2020, which curbed output in the following months.</p>\n<p>* * *</p>\n<p><b>So with all that in mind, was <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QTWO\">Q2</a> the quarter that would finally unleash another repricing higher for Netflix stock?</b>Alas, it would again not be this time because despite beating on the top line, and adding more subscribers than expected, the company missed on EPS and<i>again</i>reported another dismal quarterly guidance which came in well below expectations (full letter to shareholders).</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FBNC\">First</a>, the good news:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Q2 revenue $7.34B,<i><b>beating</b></i>Est. $7.32B</li>\n <li>Q2 Streaming Paid Net Change +1.54M,<i><b>beating</b></i>Est. +1.12M</li>\n <li>Operating margin of 25.2% came in on top of estiamtes of 25.2%</li>\n</ul>\n<p>And then the bad news:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Q2 EPS $2.97 missing consensus Est. $3.14</b></li>\n <li><b>Company sees Q3 Streaming Paid Net Change +3.50M, far below the Wall Street estimate of +5.86M</b></li>\n</ul>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JE\">Just</a> as bad,<b>the company reported its first decline in US/Canada paid subscribers, which shrank by 430K to 73.95MM.

In Q2’21, our engagement per member household was, as expected, down vs. those unprecedented levels but was still up 17% compared with a more comparable Q2’19. Similarly, retention continues to be strong and better than pre-COVID Q2’19 levels, even as average revenue per membership has grown 8% over this two-year period, demonstrating how much our members value Netflix and that as we improve our service we can charge a bit more. \"</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>NFLX also said that it added 1.5m paid memberships in Q2, \"slightly ahead of our 1.0m guidance forecast\"<b>with the APAC region representing about two-thirds of global paid net adds in the quarter</b>. Meanwhile, as noted above,<b>Q2 paid memberships in the UCAN region were down sequentially (-0.4m paid net adds):</b>\"<i>We believe our large membership base in UCAN coupled with a seasonally smaller quarter for acquisition is the main reason for this dynamic. This is similar to what we experienced in Q2’19 when our UCAN paid net adds were -0.1m; since then we’ve added nearly 7.5m paid net adds in UCAN\"</i></p>\n<p>This means that the covid pandemic in 2020 pulled forward so many subs that 2021 is shaping up to be the wirst year since at least 2016.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b1a78edf8126b85753fd3218713aba96\" tg-width=\"820\" tg-height=\"413\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Understandably, now that companies are comping to 2019 not to 2020 (for the dismal base effect), Netflix is urging investors to compare this year to 2019 and not to the same quarter a year ago (when the pandemic boosted subscriber growth). Oddly the company had no problem comparing 2020 to 2019 when the numbers were in its favor, but we digress...

NFLX notes that it is \"still expecting full year 2021 free cash flow to be approximately break even.\" The company also believes it no longer needs to raise external financing to fund our day-to-day operations. We'll see if at least that promise pans out.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4ceb3aed0130e94558eb4acfb4ed6369\" tg-width=\"1022\" tg-height=\"676\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">In other news, during Q2, NFLX increased its revolving credit facility (which remains undrawn) to $1 billion from $750 million and extended the maturity from 2024 to 2026. The company also repurchased 1 million shares for $500 million (at an average per share price of about $500) under our $5 billion share authorization: the company said its \"main priority is to invest in the organic growth of our business while maintaining strong liquidity and retaining financial flexibility for strategic investments.\"</p>\n<p>After all that, the market was unimpressed but it could have been worse: after initially plunging below $500 briefly, the stock has since stabilized down 2% around $515.

This reversedtwo quarters agowhen Netflix reported a blowout subscriber beat and projected it would soon be cash flow positive, sending its stock soaring to an all time high - if only briefly before again reversing and then tumblinglast quarterwhen Netflix again disappointed when it reported a huge subscriber miss and giving dismal guidance.\nWhich brings us to today, when investors are on edge today to find out not whether the company would beat or miss expectations, but rather if the slowdown CEO Reed Hastings warned about is for real and has pulled forward even more subscribers due to covid? After all, Netflix has been warning for months that growth would slow in 2021 compared to the phenomenal signup rate at the start of the pandemic lockdown last year. And yes, brace for a huge base effect hit:in the second quarter of 2020, the service added 10 million new customers, second only to the 15.77 million it added in the record first quarter of 2020.\nTo be sure, despite a series of hit or miss earnings, the company has been riding a wave of optimism, its stock soaring in early 2021. Still, after hitting to a record high in January, the stock has traded rangbeound, unable to break out to a new high, for the past seven months. And while there’s no doubt that viewership has surged during the Covid-19 lockdowns in the U.S. and much of the world, there are complications: the virus has brought TV and film production to a halt, a situation that may only get more dire for Netflix as the months wear on. But the biggest question remainshow many future subs has covid brought to the present, and tied to that - will the panic over the Delta strain lead to another mini burst in subscribers in the coming quater(s)?\nIndicatively, consensus expects just 1.12 million new subscribers to be added in the second quarter, just above the company's own projection of 1 million new subs. Revenue are expected to come in at $7.32 billion, up from $7.16 billion last quarter, and resulting in EPS of $3.36, down slightly from last quarter's $3.75. This, as streaming video remains on a hot streak since the pandemic struck.\nPreviewing the quarterly result, Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Geetha Ranganathan and Amine Bensaid cautioned that Netflix’s massive 2020 is leading to more muted subscriber gains this year: \"Netflix will continue to feel the aftereffects of a super-charged 1H20, with a massive pull-forward of demand prompting tempered expectations for 1 million additions in 2Q, its lowest quarterly level since 4Q11. The pull-forward may have also been amplified by price increases and pent-up demand for outdoor entertainment leading to uncertainty in 3Q guidance, though the return of several high-profile titles (‘Witcher,’ ‘Cobra Kai,’ ‘You’ and ‘Money Heist’) will be a clear catalyst for normalizing subscriber gains from 4Q and into 2022.\"\nLightShed Partners media analyst Rich Greenfield published what he sees as the key questions Netflix investors should ask management after its earnings report. Among them are when Netflix’s subscriber growth will normalize, whether India can be a meaningful driver of profitability, and where the company sees opportunities in video games. Greenfield asks: “Is the goal to leverage IP you create for TV/film or create original video game IP that can be leveraged into TV/film production?”\nAnother thing to watch out for is how a slowdown in production last year is affecting the service. The filming of new shows and movies basically came to a standstill in early 2020, which curbed output in the following months.\n* * *\nSo with all that in mind, was Q2 the quarter that would finally unleash another repricing higher for Netflix stock?Alas, it would again not be this time because despite beating on the top line, and adding more subscribers than expected, the company missed on EPS andagainreported another dismal quarterly guidance which came in well below expectations (full letter to shareholders).\nFirst, the good news:\n\nQ2 revenue $7.34B,beatingEst. $7.32B\nQ2 Streaming Paid Net Change +1.54M,beatingEst. +1.12M\nOperating margin of 25.2% came in on top of estiamtes of 25.2%\n\nAnd then the bad news:\n\nQ2 EPS $2.97 missing consensus Est. $3.14\nCompany sees Q3 Streaming Paid Net Change +3.50M, far below the Wall Street estimate of +5.86M\n\nJust as bad,the company reported its first decline in US/Canada paid subscribers, which shrank by 430K to 73.95MM. This was the first time NFLX lost customers domestically since 2019.\nIn other words, while q2 revenue rose 19% and operating income rose 36%,shares tumbled after its third-quarter subscriber forecast missed estimates.\nHere is the full breakdown of Q2 subs which saw a drop in US/Canada paid subs:\n\nUCAN streaming paid net change -430,000, estimate +52,190\nEMEA streaming paid net change +190,000, estimate +429,335\nLATAM streaming paid net change +760,000, estimate +128,719\nAPAC streaming paid net change +1.02 million, estimate +524,900\nTotal Streaming paid net change +1.54 million, estimate +1.12 million (Bloomberg Consensus)\n\nAnd visually:\nCommenting on the Q2 results, NFLX said that revenue growth was driven by an 11% increase in average paid streaming memberships and 8% growth in average revenue per membership (ARM). “COVID has created some lumpiness in our membership growth (higher growth in 2020, slower growth this year), which is working its way through.”\nA more detailed breakdown of why the company continues to see \"choppiness\" in its earnings:\n\n\"The pandemic has created unusual choppiness in our growth and distorts year-over-year comparisons as acquisition and engagement per member household spiked in the early months of COVID. In Q2’21, our engagement per member household was, as expected, down vs. those unprecedented levels but was still up 17% compared with a more comparable Q2’19. Similarly, retention continues to be strong and better than pre-COVID Q2’19 levels, even as average revenue per membership has grown 8% over this two-year period, demonstrating how much our members value Netflix and that as we improve our service we can charge a bit more. \"\n\nNFLX also said that it added 1.5m paid memberships in Q2, \"slightly ahead of our 1.0m guidance forecast\"with the APAC region representing about two-thirds of global paid net adds in the quarter. Meanwhile, as noted above,Q2 paid memberships in the UCAN region were down sequentially (-0.4m paid net adds):\"We believe our large membership base in UCAN coupled with a seasonally smaller quarter for acquisition is the main reason for this dynamic. This is similar to what we experienced in Q2’19 when our UCAN paid net adds were -0.1m; since then we’ve added nearly 7.5m paid net adds in UCAN\"\nThis means that the covid pandemic in 2020 pulled forward so many subs that 2021 is shaping up to be the wirst year since at least 2016.\nUnderstandably, now that companies are comping to 2019 not to 2020 (for the dismal base effect), Netflix is urging investors to compare this year to 2019 and not to the same quarter a year ago (when the pandemic boosted subscriber growth). Oddly the company had no problem comparing 2020 to 2019 when the numbers were in its favor, but we digress... The company points out that user engagement per member household was down in the second quarter compared with “those unprecedented levels” of 2020, but it was up 17% “compared with a more comparable Q2’19.”\nPerhaps in an attempt to divert attention from (lack of) subscriber growth, Netflix said it was making good on its promise back in 2016 to steadily grow its operating margin. The streaming giant is targeting a 20% operating margin for 2021.\nSome more details here:\n\n“Assuming we achieve our margin target this year, we will have quintupled our operating margin in the last five years and are tracking ahead of this average annual three percentage point pace..\n.. With revenue and margin both increasing, our operating profit dollars have risen dramatically as well (even as we have been investing heavily), from about $100 million per quarter in 2016 to nearly $2 billion per quarter so far in 2021.\n\nBut while shareholders may excuse the decline in US subs, they were not happy with the company's overall guidance,where it now sees just 3.5 million new subs in Q3, far below the 5.86 million expected.\n* * *\nLooking at its content slate, Netflix said it would be light in the first half due to Covid.

When it reported its March quarter results, Apple didn’t issue specific financial forecasts for the June quarter, but said it expects “strong double digit” revenue growth on a year-over-year basis.

His forecast for the quarter went to $74.7 billion in revenue and profits of $1.01 a share, from $71.3 billion and 95 cents a share. Vogt repeated his Buy rating, and raised his target for the stock price to $160, from $155.

When it reported its March quarter results, Apple didn’t issue specific financial forecasts for the June quarter, but said it expects “strong double digit” revenue growth on a year-over-year basis. Management also predicted a bigger quarter-over-quarter decline than in prior years, due to the later launch last year of the iPhone 12 and continuing component shortages.\nApple has said gross margin for the quarter will be between 41.5% and 42.5%, and that supply constraints affecting Macs and iPads will trim top-line revenue by as much as $4 billion.\nIn a research note Tuesday, UBS analyst David Vogt lifted his outlook for the quarter, citing strong demand for both iPhones and Macs. His forecast for the quarter went to $74.7 billion in revenue and profits of $1.01 a share, from $71.3 billion and 95 cents a share. Vogt repeated his Buy rating, and raised his target for the stock price to $160, from $155. He said revenue would be higher still were it not for supply constraints.\nApple shares on Tuesday were up 2.6%, to $146.15, while the S&P 500 had gained 1.6%.\nVogt now sees iPhone unit shipments for the September 2021 fiscal year of 227 million, up from 225 million. For fiscal 2022, he now expects shipments of 225 million phones, up from 220 million. He boosted his Mac forecast for the quarter to 6 million units, from 5.5 million.\nMonness Crespi Hardt analyst Brian White repeated a Buy rating and $180 stock-price target, saying that the Street consensus for the quarter is far too conservative. He expects revenue of $80.33 billion, which would be up 35% year over year, with profits of $1.16 a share. That would still be a 10% sequential decline, and slightly steeper than the average 8% dip over the past four June quarters, he noted.\nWhite’s forecasts for June quarter revenue are $39.1 billion for the iPhone (the Street consensus is $33.9 billion); $9.6 billion for Macs (way above the Street at $7.8 billion); $6.9 billion for iPads (the Street’s call is $7.2 billion); $7.5 billion for wearables, home, and accessories (consensus is $7.8 billion); and $17.2 billion for services (vs. the consensus call of $16.2 billion).","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":274,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":171709892,"gmtCreate":1626761132216,"gmtModify":1703764698996,"author":{"id":"3577096177015881","authorId":"3577096177015881","name":"ET88","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/972aa6dd92772d6bf44c97a3096c29b6","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577096177015881","authorIdStr":"3577096177015881"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I am ready.&nbsp;","listText":"I am ready.&nbsp;","text":"I am ready.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/171709892","repostId":"1116573791","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":361,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":171700661,"gmtCreate":1626761050453,"gmtModify":1703764695893,"author":{"id":"3577096177015881","authorId":"3577096177015881","name":"ET88","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/972aa6dd92772d6bf44c97a3096c29b6","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577096177015881","authorIdStr":"3577096177015881"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Go for gold [Miser]&nbsp;","listText":"Go for gold [Miser]&nbsp;","text":"Go for gold [Miser]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/171700661","repostId":"1129846769","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1129846769","pubTimestamp":1626751789,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1129846769?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-20 11:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Worried about inflation?

If there is a storm visible anywhere, he explains, you write “Storm threatens the town,” even if the storm is nowhere near and is unlikely to hit. If—as expected—the storm never hits, you just write the follow up: “Town spared by storm.”</p>\n<p>Readers may be excused for thinking something similar about the latest stories about looming, threatening, surging, terrifying inflation. Yes, the inflation forecasts were surging months ago, and hit 8-year highs. Had they continued there would be grounds to worry. But they haven’t continued. On the contrary, they’ve been falling for two months. The bond market’s 5-year inflation forecast is now lower than it was in mid-March. The market sees five-year inflation running at around 2.6%. That’s higher than we’ve been used to for a decade, but it’s nothing to cause any significant alarm.</p>\n<p>That can change, of course. Maybe it will. We’ll see.</p>\n<p>But with all this talk I got to thinking about the obvious question. If serious inflation really does hit, what can we do about it? How can we protect our investments?</p>\n<p>That’s an especially key question for today’s retirees and those expecting to retire soon. When we’re older we’re generally advised to keep most of our money in more “conservative” investments, meaning things like bonds, that involve less risk. Someone in their 20s or 30s may not worry unduly if their retirement savings plunge 30% in a market rout or an inflationary spiral. For someone in their 60s, let alone older, that can become a major financial crisis.</p>\n<p>So I went back and dug up the information from the last, infamous inflationary spiral in the 1970s, when consumer price inflation often topped 10% a year. The Greek philosopher Heraclitus pointed out that no one ever walks through the same stream twice, because the second time it’s not the same stream, and we’re not the same person. Everything changes. There is no guarantee the next inflationary boom, even if it happens, will look anything like the last one — any more than we should assume that it will be accompanied by outbreaks of disco music and flared jeans.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless the chart above shows the total returns, after adjusting for inflation, of various asset classes from December 1971 to December 1981. (I used those dates because the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, starts their data series then.) The data on energy stocks came from data compiled by professor Ken French at Dartmouth College’s Tuck School of Business.</p>\n<p>This is what happened to your purchasing power if you invested in these assets and hung on for 10 years. (I’ve excluded gold, which is a different story.)</p>\n<p>The key standout is that you really didn’t want to own Treasury bonds. The near 40% loss of purchasing power over 10 years is somewhat notional—it is derived from the compound annual returns on 10 Year Treasurys compiled by New York University’s Stern School of Business, divided by the consumer-price index—but tells a story nonetheless. (In Great Britain, where inflation was even worse, government bonds during the 1970s became known as “certificates of confiscation.” Ouch.)</p>\n<p>Holding them cost you money. Lots of it.</p>\n<p>You could argue that the danger today is even greater, simply because the yields on long-term Treasury bonds are so low. Federal Reserve quantitative easing, bond buying, and zero interest-rate policies have left Treasury yields at their lowest on record—which means the turns would be a disaster if inflation reared its head.</p>\n<p>Corporate bonds and the S&amp;P 500&nbsp;were also terrible investments. It’s worth remembering that these are real term losses over a decade, which means investors didn’t just lose a lot of money—they also lost a lot of time.</p>\n<p>Utility stocks weren’t great, but they held up better. And Treasury bills—short-term paper—did better still. But once again you were going backward when you needed to be going forwards.</p>\n<p>No one who remembers the 1970s will be surprised that energy companies boomed. Less well-remembered, maybe, is that REITs also did pretty well. These numbers, incidentally, represented property-owning REITs and excluded mortgage REITs, which own loans.</p>\n<p>But there are two caveats to this. The first is that of course energy stocks did well, because a key driver of inflation in the 1970s was the rise of OPEC and two oil embargoes it imposed on the West for political reasons. Cue Heraclitus. There is no particular reason to assume that the next inflationary surge will be the same.</p>\n<p>The second caveat is that although REITs ended up doing well, they were volatile along the way. In particular, REIT prices collapsed in the OPEC-driven recession of 1972-4. And according to FactSet, U.S. REITs today already look pretty expensive on some measures. For instance it reckons that the forecast dividend yield on the Vanguard Real Estate ETF (a reasonable benchmark for the industry) is just 2.9% — by far the lowest since it was launched in 2004. Looking through NAREIT data, I can’t find a moment since 1971 when the overall yield on REITs was this low. During the real estate bubble in 2007, incidentally, the yield bottomed out no lower than 3.6%</p>\n<p>So it may be that REITs offer less inflation protection today than we would hope.</p>\n<p>One key difference in the 1970s is that there were no “inflation-protected” Treasury bonds to keep investors protected. So-called TIPS are in theory almost the perfect investment for retirees. They are issued by the U.S. government and their coupons are safe against default. Meanwhile their coupons effectively adjust to reflect changes in consumer prices.</p>\n<p>The problem today is that TIPS—like almost everything else in the bond market—look incredibly expensive. Most TIPS already lock in an actual loss of purchasing power if you buy them today. For example if you buy 5 year TIPS bonds and hold them for 5 years you’ll end up losing 9% of your purchasing power. And 30-year TIPS bonds offer the same 9% loss, though stretched out over 30 years.</p>\n<p>It’s not very compelling. And it shows the risks that the government’s policy responses have created for those in retirement and near it.</p>","source":"market_watch","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>Worried about inflation?

The short answer is: Extremely well. The next chart shows the R&amp;D expenses of BABA and AMZN over the past decade. As seen, both have been consistently investing heavily in R&amp;D in recent years. AMZN didn&#39;t spend meaningfully on R&amp;D before 2016. But since 2016, AMZN on average has been spending about 12% of its total revenue on R&amp;D efforts. And BABA spends a bit less, on average 10%. Both levels are consistent with the average of other overachievers in the tech space, such as the FAAMG group.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b7e323032c8f5c21cefbaad05f431d0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"363\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Author based on Seeking Alpha data</span></p><p>Then the next question is, how effective is their R&amp;D process? This is where the contrast kicks in as shown in the next chart. The chart shows a variation of Buffett&#39;s $1 test on R&amp;D expenses. Advised by Buffett, we do not only listen to CEOs&#39; pitches on their brilliant new ideas that will shake the earth (again). We also examine the financials to see if their words are corroborated by the numbers. And in BABA and AMZN&#39;s cases, their numbers are shown here. The analysis method is detailed in our earlier writings and in summary:</p><blockquote><ul><li><i>The purpose of any corporate R&amp;D is obviously to generate profit. Therefore, this analysis quantifies the yield by taking the ratio between profit and R&amp;D expenditures. We used the operating cash flow as the measure for profit.</i></li><li><i>Also, most R&amp;D investments do not produce any result in the same year. They typically have a lifetime of a few years. Therefore, this analysis assumes a three-year average investment cycle for R&amp;D. And as a result, we used the three-year moving average of operating cash flow to represent this three-year cycle.</i></li></ul></blockquote><p>As you can see, the R&amp;D yield for both has been remarkably consistent although at different levels. In BABA&#39;s case, its R&amp;D yield has been steady around an average of $3.3 in recent years. This level of R&amp;D yield is very competitive even among the overachieving FAAMG group. The FAAMG group boasts an average R&amp;D yield of around $2 to $2.5 in recent years. And the only one that generates a significantly high R&amp;D yield in this group is Apple (AAPL), which generates an R&amp;D yield of $4.7 of profit output from every $1 of R&amp;D expenses.</p><p>AMZN&#39;s R&amp;D yield of $0.9, on the other hand, is substantially lower than BABA&#39;s and is also the lowest among the FAAMG group. And note that since AMZN didn&#39;t spend meaningfully on R&amp;D before 2016, we only started reporting its R&amp;D yield starting in 2016.</p><p>Next, we will examine their profitability to fuel their R&amp;D efforts sustainably and also dive into some of the specific R&amp;D efforts they are undertaking.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/900e44a75dee8b7ca4ba98a4fd84fe9f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"347\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Author</span></p><p><b>BABA enjoys far superior profitability</b></p><p>As explained in our earlier writings, to us, the most important profitability measure is ROCE (return on capital employed) because:</p><blockquote><i>ROCE considers the return of capital ACTUALLY employed and therefore provides insight into how much additional capital a business needs to invest in order to earn a given extra amount of income - a key to estimating the long-term growth rate. Because when we think as long-term business owners, the growth rate is &#34;simply&#34; the product of ROCE and reinvestment rate, i.e.,</i></blockquote><blockquote><i>Long-Term Growth Rate = ROCE * Reinvestment Rate</i></blockquote><p>The ROCE of both stocks has been detailed in our earlier articles and I will just directly quote the results below. In this analysis, I consider the following items capital actually employed A) Working capital (including payables, receivables, inventory), B) Gross Property, Plant, and Equipment, and C) Research and development expenses are also capitalized. As you can see, BABA was able to maintain a remarkably high ROCE over the past decade. It has been astronomical in the early part of the decade exceeding 150%. It has declined due to all the drama in recent years that you are familiar with (China&#39;s tightened regulations, high tax rates, slow-down of the overall economic growth in China, et al). But still, its ROCE is on average about 95% in recent years.</p><p>AMZN&#39;s ROCE has shown a similar pattern. It too has enjoyed a much higher ROCE in the early part of the decade. And it too has witnessed a steady decline over the years. In recent years, its ROCE has been relatively low, with an average of around 29%. A ROCE of 29% is still a healthy level (my estimate of the ROCE for the overall economy is about 20%). However, it&#39;s not comparable to BABA or other overachievers in the FAANG pack.</p><p>Next, we will examine their key segments and initiatives to form a projection of their future profitability and growth drivers.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8056d3adecb25ebef04479bb04307ec3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"364\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Author</span></p><p><b>Growth prospects and final verdict</b></p><p>Looking forward, I see both as well poised to benefit from the secular trend of e-commerce penetration. When we are so used to the American way of online shopping, it&#39;s easy to form the impression that e-commerce has already saturated. The reality is that the global e-commerce penetration is still ONLY at about 20% currently. Meaning 80% of the commerce is still currently conducted offline. In terms of absolute volume, as you can see from the following chart, global retail e-commerce sales have reached $4.2 trillion in 2020. And it&#39;s projected to almost double by 2026, reaching $7.4 trillion of revenues in the retail e-commerce business. The e-commerce movement is just getting started and the bulk of the growth opportunity is yet to come. And leaders like BABA and AMZN are both best poised to capitalize on this secular trend.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6158c888029f44a73ed791c390065540\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"328\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>OBERLO data</span></p><p>I also see both enjoy tremendous growth opportunities in other areas besides e-commerce. Both are leaders in the cloud computing space, especially in their own geographical areas. This segment has tremendous growth potential as the world shifts to the pure &#34;pay per use&#34; model, and the growth is just starting as start-ups, enterprises, government agencies, and academic institutions shift their computing needs to this new model. In BABA&#39;s case, its cloud computing, international avenues, and domestic platform expansion are all enjoying momentum. These segments all show promise for profitability and growth in the near future to maintain their high R&amp;D yield and high ROCE. Similarly, AMZN&#39;s AWS unit is expected to grow significantly in the near future to help lift the bottom line. It has recently announced offerings such as Cloud WAN, a managed wide area network, and Amplify Studio, a new visual development environment. Moreover, AMZN&#39;s also announced the planned $8.45 billion purchase of MGM Movie Studios, and I&#39;m optimistic about the synergies with its streaming businesses.</p><p>Also, I do see some asymmetric growth opportunities for BABA. As aforementioned, both stocks are best poised to capitalize on the world&#39;s unstoppable shift toward e-commerce. However, the remaining shift will be unevenly distributed and the Asian-Pacific region will be the center of the momentum. As shown in the chart above, world retail e-commerce sales are expected to exceed $7.3 trillion by 2025. The twist is that the Asian-Pacific region will be where most of the growth will be. By 2023, the Western continents will contribute 16% of the total B2B e-commerce volume, while the remaining 84% would come from the non-Western world. And BABA is best poised to benefit with its scale and reach, government support, and cultural and geographic proximity.</p><p>Finally, the following table summarizes all the key metrics discussed above. As mentioned early on, my thesis is that the risks surrounding BABA have been fully priced in already. Even if we put aside the issue of valuations and risks, there are many comparable aspects between these two e-commerce giants (probably more than their differences). Comparing and contrasting their R&amp;D efforts, profitability, and future growth areas not only elucidate their own investment prospects but also provide insight into other e-commerce investment opportunities.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/609b820dedf6ed23d5ddfd1ed92b9515\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"272\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Author</span></p><p><b>Risks</b></p><p>I do not think there is a need to repeat BABA&#39;s risks anymore. Other SA authors have provided excellent coverage already. And we ourselves have also assessed these risks based on a Kelly analysis.</p><p>For AMZN, a key issue I recommend investors to keep a close on in the upcoming earnings release is the leasing accounting. We have cautioned readers before the 2021 Q4 earnings release about the role of its lease accounting and the possibility of its free cash flow (&#34;FCF&#34;) deterioration after being adjusted for leasing accounting. And as you can see from the following chart, unfortunately, its FCF has indeed suffered a dramatic deterioration to a negative $20B in 2021 Q4. In the incoming 2022 Q1 release, this is a key item that I would be watching.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/963ea4489df1ce587e26c13d870e7326\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"487\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>AMZN 2021 Q4 earnings release</span></p><p><b>Summary and final thoughts</b></p><p>The stock market is notorious for completely ignoring business fundamentals both at the greed extreme and at the fear extreme. The stark contrast between BABA and AMZN serves as a general example of such market psychology so investors could identify mispricing opportunities.</p><p>The thesis is that BABA is now in the extreme fear end of the spectrum and its stock price has recently become disconnected from fundamentals. In particular,</p><ul><li>The current market valuation has already priced in all the risks surrounding BABA. BABA&#39;s price to sales ratio is discounted by almost half relative to AMZN despite its higher margin and profitability.</li><li>Both stocks pursue new opportunities aggressively with 10% to 12% of their total sales spent on R&amp;D efforts, but BABA enjoys a far better yield.</li><li>I also see both well poised to benefit from the secular trend of global e-commerce penetration and also from the opportunities in other areas such as cloud computing. However, I do see some asymmetries here. For example, the remaining e-commerce shift will be unevenly distributed and the Asian-Pacific region will be the center of the momentum, where BABA is better positioned to benefit from its government support and cultural/geographic proximity.</li></ul></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Alibaba Vs.

Therefore, this analysis assumes a three-year average investment cycle for R&D. And as a result, we used the three-year moving average of operating cash flow to represent this three-year cycle.As you can see, the R&D yield for both has been remarkably consistent although at different levels. In BABA's case, its R&D yield has been steady around an average of $3.3 in recent years. This level of R&D yield is very competitive even among the overachieving FAAMG group. The FAAMG group boasts an average R&D yield of around $2 to $2.5 in recent years. And the only one that generates a significantly high R&D yield in this group is Apple (AAPL), which generates an R&D yield of $4.7 of profit output from every $1 of R&D expenses.AMZN's R&D yield of $0.9, on the other hand, is substantially lower than BABA's and is also the lowest among the FAAMG group. And note that since AMZN didn't spend meaningfully on R&D before 2016, we only started reporting its R&D yield starting in 2016.Next, we will examine their profitability to fuel their R&D efforts sustainably and also dive into some of the specific R&D efforts they are undertaking.AuthorBABA enjoys far superior profitabilityAs explained in our earlier writings, to us, the most important profitability measure is ROCE (return on capital employed) because:ROCE considers the return of capital ACTUALLY employed and therefore provides insight into how much additional capital a business needs to invest in order to earn a given extra amount of income - a key to estimating the long-term growth rate. Because when we think as long-term business owners, the growth rate is \"simply\" the product of ROCE and reinvestment rate, i.e.,Long-Term Growth Rate = ROCE * Reinvestment RateThe ROCE of both stocks has been detailed in our earlier articles and I will just directly quote the results below. In this analysis, I consider the following items capital actually employed A) Working capital (including payables, receivables, inventory), B) Gross Property, Plant, and Equipment, and C) Research and development expenses are also capitalized. As you can see, BABA was able to maintain a remarkably high ROCE over the past decade. It has been astronomical in the early part of the decade exceeding 150%. It has declined due to all the drama in recent years that you are familiar with (China's tightened regulations, high tax rates, slow-down of the overall economic growth in China, et al). But still, its ROCE is on average about 95% in recent years.AMZN's ROCE has shown a similar pattern. It too has enjoyed a much higher ROCE in the early part of the decade. And it too has witnessed a steady decline over the years. In recent years, its ROCE has been relatively low, with an average of around 29%. A ROCE of 29% is still a healthy level (my estimate of the ROCE for the overall economy is about 20%). However, it's not comparable to BABA or other overachievers in the FAANG pack.Next, we will examine their key segments and initiatives to form a projection of their future profitability and growth drivers.AuthorGrowth prospects and final verdictLooking forward, I see both as well poised to benefit from the secular trend of e-commerce penetration. When we are so used to the American way of online shopping, it's easy to form the impression that e-commerce has already saturated. The reality is that the global e-commerce penetration is still ONLY at about 20% currently. Meaning 80% of the commerce is still currently conducted offline. In terms of absolute volume, as you can see from the following chart, global retail e-commerce sales have reached $4.2 trillion in 2020. And it's projected to almost double by 2026, reaching $7.4 trillion of revenues in the retail e-commerce business. The e-commerce movement is just getting started and the bulk of the growth opportunity is yet to come. And leaders like BABA and AMZN are both best poised to capitalize on this secular trend.OBERLO dataI also see both enjoy tremendous growth opportunities in other areas besides e-commerce. Both are leaders in the cloud computing space, especially in their own geographical areas. This segment has tremendous growth potential as the world shifts to the pure \"pay per use\" model, and the growth is just starting as start-ups, enterprises, government agencies, and academic institutions shift their computing needs to this new model. In BABA's case, its cloud computing, international avenues, and domestic platform expansion are all enjoying momentum. These segments all show promise for profitability and growth in the near future to maintain their high R&D yield and high ROCE. Similarly, AMZN's AWS unit is expected to grow significantly in the near future to help lift the bottom line. It has recently announced offerings such as Cloud WAN, a managed wide area network, and Amplify Studio, a new visual development environment. Moreover, AMZN's also announced the planned $8.45 billion purchase of MGM Movie Studios, and I'm optimistic about the synergies with its streaming businesses.Also, I do see some asymmetric growth opportunities for BABA. As aforementioned, both stocks are best poised to capitalize on the world's unstoppable shift toward e-commerce. However, the remaining shift will be unevenly distributed and the Asian-Pacific region will be the center of the momentum. As shown in the chart above, world retail e-commerce sales are expected to exceed $7.3 trillion by 2025. The twist is that the Asian-Pacific region will be where most of the growth will be. By 2023, the Western continents will contribute 16% of the total B2B e-commerce volume, while the remaining 84% would come from the non-Western world. And BABA is best poised to benefit with its scale and reach, government support, and cultural and geographic proximity.Finally, the following table summarizes all the key metrics discussed above. As mentioned early on, my thesis is that the risks surrounding BABA have been fully priced in already. Even if we put aside the issue of valuations and risks, there are many comparable aspects between these two e-commerce giants (probably more than their differences). Comparing and contrasting their R&D efforts, profitability, and future growth areas not only elucidate their own investment prospects but also provide insight into other e-commerce investment opportunities.AuthorRisksI do not think there is a need to repeat BABA's risks anymore. Other SA authors have provided excellent coverage already. And we ourselves have also assessed these risks based on a Kelly analysis.For AMZN, a key issue I recommend investors to keep a close on in the upcoming earnings release is the leasing accounting. We have cautioned readers before the 2021 Q4 earnings release about the role of its lease accounting and the possibility of its free cash flow (\"FCF\") deterioration after being adjusted for leasing accounting. And as you can see from the following chart, unfortunately, its FCF has indeed suffered a dramatic deterioration to a negative $20B in 2021 Q4. In the incoming 2022 Q1 release, this is a key item that I would be watching.AMZN 2021 Q4 earnings releaseSummary and final thoughtsThe stock market is notorious for completely ignoring business fundamentals both at the greed extreme and at the fear extreme. The stark contrast between BABA and AMZN serves as a general example of such market psychology so investors could identify mispricing opportunities.The thesis is that BABA is now in the extreme fear end of the spectrum and its stock price has recently become disconnected from fundamentals. In particular,The current market valuation has already priced in all the risks surrounding BABA. BABA's price to sales ratio is discounted by almost half relative to AMZN despite its higher margin and profitability.Both stocks pursue new opportunities aggressively with 10% to 12% of their total sales spent on R&D efforts, but BABA enjoys a far better yield.I also see both well poised to benefit from the secular trend of global e-commerce penetration and also from the opportunities in other areas such as cloud computing. However, I do see some asymmetries here. For example, the remaining e-commerce shift will be unevenly distributed and the Asian-Pacific region will be the center of the momentum, where BABA is better positioned to benefit from its government support and cultural/geographic proximity.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":478,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3572923586954779","authorId":"3572923586954779","name":"LimLS","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/217b03b0c4808fb537070ba4e8f9d83f","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3572923586954779","authorIdStr":"3572923586954779"},"content":"yes, not enough importance is talked about for the geopolitical risk.

Most of their stocks have already jumped on theprospect of infrastructure spending.</p>\n<p>But <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> infrastructure play has been overlooked:<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AFH\">Atlas</a> Technical Consultants(ATCX) provides engineering and design services, inspection and certification of buildings and public works, and other construction-related services. More construction means more plans and designs for Atlas to review. These eventually become finished projects that need annual inspections, paying dividends for years.</p>\n<p>And yet Atlas shares have stalled. At a recent $9, the stock trades for just eight times enterprise value to estimated 2022 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or Ebitda. That multiple is a significant discount to companies in related inspection businesses, such asMontrose Environmental Group(MEG) andTetra Tech(TTEK), which trade for more than 22 times EV/2022 Ebitda.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/19ad62f427fb70a25aa96068bc5d1756\" tg-width=\"442\" tg-height=\"364\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">“Right now, part of the valuation discount is due to the debt, but I would say there are companies like Atlas where the debt is appropriate,” says Kevin Silverman, chief investment officer and portfolio manager at small-cap–focused <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/STL\">Sterling</a> Partners <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EQR\">Equity</a> Advisors, which owns more than $2 million worth of Atlas stock, accounting for about 2% of its assets under management. “The debt helps equity holders if you have steady profit margins and can use it for growth.”</p>\n<p>And Atlas has substantial opportunities for growth. Beyond the infrastructure-bill boost, Atlas has a long-term strategy of consolidating the fragmented U.S. inspection-services market while reducing its debt levels. Both should increase its appeal to investors and earn it a higher valuation multiple.</p>\n<p>The Austin, Texas–headquartered company went public inearly 2020via a merger with a special-purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. The deal saddled the company with a convoluted capital structure, including multiple share classes, outstanding warrants, and other complications. That complexity has probably kept some investors away, as has Atlas’ relatively high debt load, which comes to 5.5 times net debt to 2021 Ebitda.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/99bb73a7c212bfed6d0890b8b14fbc15\" tg-width=\"607\" tg-height=\"396\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Atlas has reduced that complexity—redeeming its preferred equity, buying out warrants, and increasing the stock’s publicly traded float—and is focused on bringing its net debt below three times Ebitda.</p>\n<p>Atlas is forecast to grow sales 13% this year, to $530 million, with Ebitda up 21%, to $76 million.</p>\n<p>Its customers include state departments of transportation, private building owners, electric and water utilities, airports, schools, hospitals, and more. Its national presence and leading scale helps win and retain marquee projects and big clients, including the U.S. Postal <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SCI\">Service</a>, the Environmental Protection Agency, the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NWY\">New York</a> <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CHCO\">City</a> Housing Authority, Stanford University,Walmart(WMT), and<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a>(AAPL).</p>\n<p>Atlas earned $64 million in adjusted Ebitda over the past four reported quarters, while it had a net loss of $18 million. As of the end of the first quarter, the company had a backlog of $689 million, or more than 140% of its last 12 months’ revenue of $482 million. “I’ve been in this business for 30 years, and it’s by far the highest I’ve seen,” Atlas CEO Joe Boyer tells<i>Barron’s</i>.</p>\n<p>About 70% of the company’s revenue comes from work on existing buildings, pipes, roads, and bridges. Those jobs are nondiscretionary: As we’ve tragically learned at times, infrastructure needs to be inspected and brought up to code at regular intervals, no matter what the economic or pandemic situation is.</p>\n<p>The remaining 30% of Atlas’ sales are tied to new construction, which dipped during the pandemic but is nearly back to pre-Covid-19 levels, according to Boyer.</p>\n<p>A long-term trend toward outsourcing services by cities and states, stricter environmental standards, and aging infrastructure in the U.S. have been drivers of Atlas’ organic growth in recent years.</p>\n<p>That trend has been responsible for about half of Atlas’ 20% compound annual growth in sales since 2016, when it was owned by private-equity firm Bernhard Capital Partners. The other avenue for growth has been Atlas’ acquisition strategy.</p>\n<p>“The idea is to find a company in a geography or a service that we don’t dominate in, bring it onto our platform, and cross-sell across our network,” Boyer says.</p>\n<p>Atlas’ sweet spot for acquisition targets is about $5 million to $20 million in Ebitda, The company typically pays four to six times Ebitda in a mix of cash and stock.

Most of their stocks have already jumped on theprospect of infrastructure spending.\nBut one infrastructure play has been overlooked:Atlas Technical Consultants(ATCX) provides engineering and design services, inspection and certification of buildings and public works, and other construction-related services. More construction means more plans and designs for Atlas to review. These eventually become finished projects that need annual inspections, paying dividends for years.\nAnd yet Atlas shares have stalled. At a recent $9, the stock trades for just eight times enterprise value to estimated 2022 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or Ebitda. That multiple is a significant discount to companies in related inspection businesses, such asMontrose Environmental Group(MEG) andTetra Tech(TTEK), which trade for more than 22 times EV/2022 Ebitda.\n“Right now, part of the valuation discount is due to the debt, but I would say there are companies like Atlas where the debt is appropriate,” says Kevin Silverman, chief investment officer and portfolio manager at small-cap–focused Sterling Partners Equity Advisors, which owns more than $2 million worth of Atlas stock, accounting for about 2% of its assets under management. “The debt helps equity holders if you have steady profit margins and can use it for growth.”\nAnd Atlas has substantial opportunities for growth. Beyond the infrastructure-bill boost, Atlas has a long-term strategy of consolidating the fragmented U.S. inspection-services market while reducing its debt levels. Both should increase its appeal to investors and earn it a higher valuation multiple.\nThe Austin, Texas–headquartered company went public inearly 2020via a merger with a special-purpose acquisition company, or SPAC. The deal saddled the company with a convoluted capital structure, including multiple share classes, outstanding warrants, and other complications. That complexity has probably kept some investors away, as has Atlas’ relatively high debt load, which comes to 5.5 times net debt to 2021 Ebitda.\n\nAtlas has reduced that complexity—redeeming its preferred equity, buying out warrants, and increasing the stock’s publicly traded float—and is focused on bringing its net debt below three times Ebitda.\nAtlas is forecast to grow sales 13% this year, to $530 million, with Ebitda up 21%, to $76 million.\nIts customers include state departments of transportation, private building owners, electric and water utilities, airports, schools, hospitals, and more. Its national presence and leading scale helps win and retain marquee projects and big clients, including the U.S. Postal Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, the New York City Housing Authority, Stanford University,Walmart(WMT), andApple(AAPL).\nAtlas earned $64 million in adjusted Ebitda over the past four reported quarters, while it had a net loss of $18 million. As of the end of the first quarter, the company had a backlog of $689 million, or more than 140% of its last 12 months’ revenue of $482 million. “I’ve been in this business for 30 years, and it’s by far the highest I’ve seen,” Atlas CEO Joe Boyer tellsBarron’s.\nAbout 70% of the company’s revenue comes from work on existing buildings, pipes, roads, and bridges. Those jobs are nondiscretionary: As we’ve tragically learned at times, infrastructure needs to be inspected and brought up to code at regular intervals, no matter what the economic or pandemic situation is.\nThe remaining 30% of Atlas’ sales are tied to new construction, which dipped during the pandemic but is nearly back to pre-Covid-19 levels, according to Boyer.\nA long-term trend toward outsourcing services by cities and states, stricter environmental standards, and aging infrastructure in the U.S. have been drivers of Atlas’ organic growth in recent years.\nThat trend has been responsible for about half of Atlas’ 20% compound annual growth in sales since 2016, when it was owned by private-equity firm Bernhard Capital Partners. The other avenue for growth has been Atlas’ acquisition strategy.\n“The idea is to find a company in a geography or a service that we don’t dominate in, bring it onto our platform, and cross-sell across our network,” Boyer says.\nAtlas’ sweet spot for acquisition targets is about $5 million to $20 million in Ebitda, The company typically pays four to six times Ebitda in a mix of cash and stock. That makes each deal immediately accretive to earnings.\nAs a small and relatively young public company, Atlas gets minimal coverage from Wall Street, but the three analysts who cover the firm are bullish. “We think the company is in end markets that are strong or recovering; they’ve been winning large contracts, and its backlog has been growing,” says Stifel analyst Noelle Dilts. “So, we feel good about the fundamental revenue outlook.”\nShe rates Atlas a Buy, with a $14.50 price target, or 11 times her estimate of 2022 Ebitda, which doesn’t include any upside from a potential infrastructure bill. Using a 15 times Ebitda multiple, Sterling’s Silverman sees shares going to $43 three years from now, as debt paydown continues and earnings rise.\nAtlas’ balance sheet remains a fixer-upper, but the company has the right foundation.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":429,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":147275458,"gmtCreate":1626361556174,"gmtModify":1703758755219,"author":{"id":"3577096177015881","authorId":"3577096177015881","name":"ET88","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/972aa6dd92772d6bf44c97a3096c29b6","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577096177015881","authorIdStr":"3577096177015881"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy the dip","listText":"Buy the dip","text":"Buy the dip","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/147275458","repostId":"1125623556","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1125623556","pubTimestamp":1626360370,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1125623556?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-15 22:46","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GM Warns Some Bolt EV Owners To Park Vehicles Outside Due to Spontaneous Combustion Risk","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1125623556","media":"Benzinga","summary":"General Motors has asked the owners of 2017-2019 Chevrolet Bolt EVs to park their vehicles outside a","content":"<p><b>General Motors</b>&nbsp;has asked the owners of&nbsp;<b>2017-2019 Chevrolet Bolt EVs</b>&nbsp;to park their vehicles outside and away from homes due to a risk of unexpectedly catching fire.

However, a death cross materialized in the small-capitalization oriented Russell 2000 index at the start of 2022, FactSet data show.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":401,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":176982671,"gmtCreate":1626854877093,"gmtModify":1703479334060,"author":{"id":"3577096177015881","authorId":"3577096177015881","name":"ET88","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/972aa6dd92772d6bf44c97a3096c29b6","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577096177015881","authorIdStr":"3577096177015881"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Oh no…","listText":"Oh no…","text":"Oh no…","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/176982671","repostId":"1183563723","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1183563723","pubTimestamp":1626853969,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1183563723?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-21 15:52","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Netflix Slides After Subscriber Guidance Misses Estimates","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1183563723","media":"zerohedge","summary":"Recent earnings reports from streaming giant $Netflix$ have been a mixed bag: the stock tumbled three quarters ago when the company reported earnings for its first full \"post Corona\" quarter and warned that\"growth is slowing\",before againplunging three quarters agowhen the company reported a huge miss in both EPS and new subs, which at 2.2 million was tied for the worst quarter in the past five years, while also reporting a worse than expected outlook for the current quarter.

After all, Netflix has been warning for months that growth would slow in 2021 compared to the phenomenal signup rate at the start of the pandemic lockdown last year.

And while there’s no doubt that viewership has surged during the Covid-19 lockdowns in the U.S. and much of the world, there are complications: the virus has brought TV and film production to a halt, a situation that may only get more dire for Netflix as the months wear on.

The pull-forward may have also been amplified by price increases and pent-up demand for outdoor entertainment leading to uncertainty in 3Q guidance, though the return of several high-profile titles (‘Witcher,’ ‘Cobra Kai,’ ‘You’ and ‘Money Heist’) will be a clear catalyst for normalizing subscriber gains from 4Q and into 2022.\"</p>\n<p>LightShed Partners media analyst Rich Greenfield published what he sees as the key questions Netflix investors should ask management after its earnings report. Among them are when Netflix’s subscriber growth will normalize, whether India can be a meaningful driver of profitability, and where the company sees opportunities in video games. Greenfield asks: “Is the goal to leverage IP you create for TV/film or create original video game IP that can be leveraged into TV/film production?”</p>\n<p>Another thing to watch out for is how a slowdown in production last year is affecting the service. The filming of new shows and movies basically came to a standstill in early 2020, which curbed output in the following months.</p>\n<p>* * *</p>\n<p><b>So with all that in mind, was <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QTWO\">Q2</a> the quarter that would finally unleash another repricing higher for Netflix stock?</b>Alas, it would again not be this time because despite beating on the top line, and adding more subscribers than expected, the company missed on EPS and<i>again</i>reported another dismal quarterly guidance which came in well below expectations (full letter to shareholders).</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FBNC\">First</a>, the good news:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Q2 revenue $7.34B,<i><b>beating</b></i>Est. $7.32B</li>\n <li>Q2 Streaming Paid Net Change +1.54M,<i><b>beating</b></i>Est. +1.12M</li>\n <li>Operating margin of 25.2% came in on top of estiamtes of 25.2%</li>\n</ul>\n<p>And then the bad news:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Q2 EPS $2.97 missing consensus Est. $3.14</b></li>\n <li><b>Company sees Q3 Streaming Paid Net Change +3.50M, far below the Wall Street estimate of +5.86M</b></li>\n</ul>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JE\">Just</a> as bad,<b>the company reported its first decline in US/Canada paid subscribers, which shrank by 430K to 73.95MM.

In Q2’21, our engagement per member household was, as expected, down vs. those unprecedented levels but was still up 17% compared with a more comparable Q2’19. Similarly, retention continues to be strong and better than pre-COVID Q2’19 levels, even as average revenue per membership has grown 8% over this two-year period, demonstrating how much our members value Netflix and that as we improve our service we can charge a bit more. \"</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>NFLX also said that it added 1.5m paid memberships in Q2, \"slightly ahead of our 1.0m guidance forecast\"<b>with the APAC region representing about two-thirds of global paid net adds in the quarter</b>. Meanwhile, as noted above,<b>Q2 paid memberships in the UCAN region were down sequentially (-0.4m paid net adds):</b>\"<i>We believe our large membership base in UCAN coupled with a seasonally smaller quarter for acquisition is the main reason for this dynamic. This is similar to what we experienced in Q2’19 when our UCAN paid net adds were -0.1m; since then we’ve added nearly 7.5m paid net adds in UCAN\"</i></p>\n<p>This means that the covid pandemic in 2020 pulled forward so many subs that 2021 is shaping up to be the wirst year since at least 2016.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b1a78edf8126b85753fd3218713aba96\" tg-width=\"820\" tg-height=\"413\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Understandably, now that companies are comping to 2019 not to 2020 (for the dismal base effect), Netflix is urging investors to compare this year to 2019 and not to the same quarter a year ago (when the pandemic boosted subscriber growth). Oddly the company had no problem comparing 2020 to 2019 when the numbers were in its favor, but we digress... The company points out that user engagement per member household was down in the second quarter compared with “those unprecedented levels” of 2020, but it was up 17% “compared with a more comparable Q2’19.”</p>\n<p>Perhaps in an attempt to divert attention from (lack of) subscriber growth, Netflix said it was making good on its promise back in 2016 to steadily grow its operating margin. The streaming giant is targeting a 20% operating margin for 2021.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6f26d1f9fee9dc38cc58bff5bdc43c73\" tg-width=\"663\" tg-height=\"399\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Some more details here:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i><b>“Assuming we achieve our margin target this year, we will have quintupled our operating margin in the last five years and are tracking ahead of this average annual three percentage point pace..</b></i> \n <i>.. With revenue and margin both increasing, our operating profit dollars have risen dramatically as well (even as we have been investing heavily), from about $100 million per quarter in 2016 to nearly $2 billion per quarter so far in 2021.</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>But while shareholders may excuse the decline in US subs, they were not happy with the company's overall guidance,<b>where it now sees just 3.5 million new subs in Q3, far below the 5.86 million expected.</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/23205a0bb2f7fde61b3ef2da7b7a56bb\" tg-width=\"856\" tg-height=\"399\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">* * *</p>\n<p>Looking at its content slate, Netflix said it would be light in the first half due to Covid. The company is now playing catch-up, with spending on new TV shows and movies up 41% to $8 billion in the first half. The company is targeting $12 billion in content spending for the year, a 12% bump, to wit:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i><b>Through the first half of 2021 we’ve already spent $8 billion in cash on content (up 41% yr-over-yr and 1.4x our content amortization)</b></i> \n <i>and we expect content amortization to be around $12 billion for the full year (+12% year over year). Our Q3 slate will include new seasons of fan favorites La Casa de Papel (aka Money Heist), Sex Education, Virgin River and Never Have I Ever as well as live action films including Sweet Girl (starring Jason Momoa), Kissing Booth 3, and Kate (starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and the animated feature film Vivo, featuring all-new songs from Lin-Manuel Miranda.</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Netflix offers shared some more details on its upcoming entrance into the gaming arena:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>“We’re also in the early stages of further expanding into games, building on our earlier efforts around interactivity (e.g., Black Mirror Bandersnatch) and our Stranger Things games. We view gaming as another new content category for us, similar to our expansion into original films, animation and unscripted TV.</i> \n <i><b>Games will be included in members’ Netflix subscription at no additional cost, similar to films and series</b></i> \n <i>. Initially, we’ll be primarily focused on games for mobile devices. We’re excited as ever about our movies and TV series offering and we expect a long runway of increasing investment and growth across all of our existing content categories, but since we are nearly a decade into our push into original programming, we think the time is right to learn more about how our members value games.”</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>In its cursory overview of the competitive landscape, Netflix pointed out mergers like WarnerMedia/<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DISCA\">Discovery</a>, saying they “don’t believe this consolidation has affected our growth much, if at all.” The company also noted that while it’s always evaluating merger opportunities: “We don’t view any assets as ‘must-have’ and we haven’t yet found any large scale ones to be sufficiently compelling to act upon.”</p>\n<p>There was more bad news in NFLX cash flow, which after last quarter's surge reversed again, and dropped by $175 million, vs a positive cash flow of $899 million a year ago. NFLX notes that it is \"still expecting full year 2021 free cash flow to be approximately break even.\" The company also believes it no longer needs to raise external financing to fund our day-to-day operations. We'll see if at least that promise pans out.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4ceb3aed0130e94558eb4acfb4ed6369\" tg-width=\"1022\" tg-height=\"676\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">In other news, during Q2, NFLX increased its revolving credit facility (which remains undrawn) to $1 billion from $750 million and extended the maturity from 2024 to 2026. The company also repurchased 1 million shares for $500 million (at an average per share price of about $500) under our $5 billion share authorization: the company said its \"main priority is to invest in the organic growth of our business while maintaining strong liquidity and retaining financial flexibility for strategic investments.\"</p>\n<p>After all that, the market was unimpressed but it could have been worse: after initially plunging below $500 briefly, the stock has since stabilized down 2% around $515. Among stocks that are down in sympathy, video-streaming platform Roku falls 1.4%.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cd7e85e2830bd58f17652f92dedb29b4\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"663\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Netflix Slides&nbsp;in&nbsp;premarket&nbsp;trading.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/304dae8666ce15371c9686fbd96d32bb\" tg-width=\"704\" tg-height=\"486\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Netflix Slides After Subscriber Guidance Misses Estimates</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\">\nNetflix Slides After Subscriber Guidance Misses Estimates\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-21 15:52 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/netflix-slides-after-subscriber-guidance-misses-estimates><strong>zerohedge</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Recent earnings reports from streaming giant Netflix have been a mixed bag: the stock tumbled three quarters ago when the company reported earnings for its first full \"post Corona\" quarter and warned ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/netflix-slides-after-subscriber-guidance-misses-estimates\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NFLX":"奈飞","QNETCN":"纳斯达克中美互联网老虎指数"},"source_url":"https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/netflix-slides-after-subscriber-guidance-misses-estimates","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1183563723","content_text":"Recent earnings reports from streaming giant Netflix have been a mixed bag: the stock tumbled three quarters ago when the company reported earnings for its first full \"post Corona\" quarter and warned that\"growth is slowing\",before againplunging three quarters agowhen the company reported a huge miss in both EPS and new subs, which at 2.2 million was tied for the worst quarter in the past five years, while also reporting a worse than expected outlook for the current quarter.

Greenfield asks: “Is the goal to leverage IP you create for TV/film or create original video game IP that can be leveraged into TV/film production?”\nAnother thing to watch out for is how a slowdown in production last year is affecting the service. The filming of new shows and movies basically came to a standstill in early 2020, which curbed output in the following months.\n* * *\nSo with all that in mind, was Q2 the quarter that would finally unleash another repricing higher for Netflix stock?Alas, it would again not be this time because despite beating on the top line, and adding more subscribers than expected, the company missed on EPS andagainreported another dismal quarterly guidance which came in well below expectations (full letter to shareholders).\nFirst, the good news:\n\nQ2 revenue $7.34B,beatingEst. $7.32B\nQ2 Streaming Paid Net Change +1.54M,beatingEst. +1.12M\nOperating margin of 25.2% came in on top of estiamtes of 25.2%\n\nAnd then the bad news:\n\nQ2 EPS $2.97 missing consensus Est. $3.14\nCompany sees Q3 Streaming Paid Net Change +3.50M, far below the Wall Street estimate of +5.86M\n\nJust as bad,the company reported its first decline in US/Canada paid subscribers, which shrank by 430K to 73.95MM. This was the first time NFLX lost customers domestically since 2019.\nIn other words, while q2 revenue rose 19% and operating income rose 36%,shares tumbled after its third-quarter subscriber forecast missed estimates.\nHere is the full breakdown of Q2 subs which saw a drop in US/Canada paid subs:\n\nUCAN streaming paid net change -430,000, estimate +52,190\nEMEA streaming paid net change +190,000, estimate +429,335\nLATAM streaming paid net change +760,000, estimate +128,719\nAPAC streaming paid net change +1.02 million, estimate +524,900\nTotal Streaming paid net change +1.54 million, estimate +1.12 million (Bloomberg Consensus)\n\nAnd visually:\nCommenting on the Q2 results, NFLX said that revenue growth was driven by an 11% increase in average paid streaming memberships and 8% growth in average revenue per membership (ARM). “COVID has created some lumpiness in our membership growth (higher growth in 2020, slower growth this year), which is working its way through.”\nA more detailed breakdown of why the company continues to see \"choppiness\" in its earnings:\n\n\"The pandemic has created unusual choppiness in our growth and distorts year-over-year comparisons as acquisition and engagement per member household spiked in the early months of COVID. In Q2’21, our engagement per member household was, as expected, down vs. those unprecedented levels but was still up 17% compared with a more comparable Q2’19. Similarly, retention continues to be strong and better than pre-COVID Q2’19 levels, even as average revenue per membership has grown 8% over this two-year period, demonstrating how much our members value Netflix and that as we improve our service we can charge a bit more. \"\n\nNFLX also said that it added 1.5m paid memberships in Q2, \"slightly ahead of our 1.0m guidance forecast\"with the APAC region representing about two-thirds of global paid net adds in the quarter. Meanwhile, as noted above,Q2 paid memberships in the UCAN region were down sequentially (-0.4m paid net adds):\"We believe our large membership base in UCAN coupled with a seasonally smaller quarter for acquisition is the main reason for this dynamic. This is similar to what we experienced in Q2’19 when our UCAN paid net adds were -0.1m; since then we’ve added nearly 7.5m paid net adds in UCAN\"\nThis means that the covid pandemic in 2020 pulled forward so many subs that 2021 is shaping up to be the wirst year since at least 2016.\nUnderstandably, now that companies are comping to 2019 not to 2020 (for the dismal base effect), Netflix is urging investors to compare this year to 2019 and not to the same quarter a year ago (when the pandemic boosted subscriber growth). Oddly the company had no problem comparing 2020 to 2019 when the numbers were in its favor, but we digress... The company points out that user engagement per member household was down in the second quarter compared with “those unprecedented levels” of 2020, but it was up 17% “compared with a more comparable Q2’19.”\nPerhaps in an attempt to divert attention from (lack of) subscriber growth, Netflix said it was making good on its promise back in 2016 to steadily grow its operating margin. The streaming giant is targeting a 20% operating margin for 2021.\nSome more details here:\n\n“Assuming we achieve our margin target this year, we will have quintupled our operating margin in the last five years and are tracking ahead of this average annual three percentage point pace..\n.. With revenue and margin both increasing, our operating profit dollars have risen dramatically as well (even as we have been investing heavily), from about $100 million per quarter in 2016 to nearly $2 billion per quarter so far in 2021.\n\nBut while shareholders may excuse the decline in US subs, they were not happy with the company's overall guidance,where it now sees just 3.5 million new subs in Q3, far below the 5.86 million expected.\n* * *\nLooking at its content slate, Netflix said it would be light in the first half due to Covid. The company is now playing catch-up, with spending on new TV shows and movies up 41% to $8 billion in the first half. The company is targeting $12 billion in content spending for the year, a 12% bump, to wit:\n\nThrough the first half of 2021 we’ve already spent $8 billion in cash on content (up 41% yr-over-yr and 1.4x our content amortization)\nand we expect content amortization to be around $12 billion for the full year (+12% year over year). Our Q3 slate will include new seasons of fan favorites La Casa de Papel (aka Money Heist), Sex Education, Virgin River and Never Have I Ever as well as live action films including Sweet Girl (starring Jason Momoa), Kissing Booth 3, and Kate (starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and the animated feature film Vivo, featuring all-new songs from Lin-Manuel Miranda.\n\nNetflix offers shared some more details on its upcoming entrance into the gaming arena:\n\n“We’re also in the early stages of further expanding into games, building on our earlier efforts around interactivity (e.g., Black Mirror Bandersnatch) and our Stranger Things games. We view gaming as another new content category for us, similar to our expansion into original films, animation and unscripted TV.\nGames will be included in members’ Netflix subscription at no additional cost, similar to films and series\n. Initially, we’ll be primarily focused on games for mobile devices. We’re excited as ever about our movies and TV series offering and we expect a long runway of increasing investment and growth across all of our existing content categories, but since we are nearly a decade into our push into original programming, we think the time is right to learn more about how our members value games.”\n\nIn its cursory overview of the competitive landscape, Netflix pointed out mergers like WarnerMedia/Discovery, saying they “don’t believe this consolidation has affected our growth much, if at all.” The company also noted that while it’s always evaluating merger opportunities: “We don’t view any assets as ‘must-have’ and we haven’t yet found any large scale ones to be sufficiently compelling to act upon.”\nThere was more bad news in NFLX cash flow, which after last quarter's surge reversed again, and dropped by $175 million, vs a positive cash flow of $899 million a year ago. NFLX notes that it is \"still expecting full year 2021 free cash flow to be approximately break even.\" The company also believes it no longer needs to raise external financing to fund our day-to-day operations. We'll see if at least that promise pans out.\nIn other news, during Q2, NFLX increased its revolving credit facility (which remains undrawn) to $1 billion from $750 million and extended the maturity from 2024 to 2026. The company also repurchased 1 million shares for $500 million (at an average per share price of about $500) under our $5 billion share authorization: the company said its \"main priority is to invest in the organic growth of our business while maintaining strong liquidity and retaining financial flexibility for strategic investments.\"\nAfter all that, the market was unimpressed but it could have been worse: after initially plunging below $500 briefly, the stock has since stabilized down 2% around $515. Among stocks that are down in sympathy, video-streaming platform Roku falls 1.4%.\nNetflix Slides in premarket trading.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":276,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":372868549,"gmtCreate":1619191855581,"gmtModify":1704721116039,"author":{"id":"3577096177015881","authorId":"3577096177015881","name":"ET88","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/972aa6dd92772d6bf44c97a3096c29b6","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577096177015881","authorIdStr":"3577096177015881"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Go baba go!&nbsp;","listText":"Go baba go!&nbsp;","text":"Go baba go!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/372868549","repostId":"1170805005","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1170805005","pubTimestamp":1619181499,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1170805005?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-23 20:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alibaba: The End Hasn't Come","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1170805005","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Alibaba's shares are down a lot from last year's highs, as a reaction to the market worrying about a range of issues.None of them seems to be too material, though, and the fear that has gripped the market has resulted in a quite inexpensive valuation.Alibaba is a high-growth mega-corp that trades like a low-growth company.

The fine that was imposed on the company thus is equal to about two weeks' worth of cash flows. Is that a positive? No, it's a negative. Is it a large negative? In fact, it seems barely noticeable compared to Alibaba's size. We can also look at how this fine compares to Alibaba's cash holding of more than $50 billion, and, once again, we are talking about a very minor fine relative to how the company is doing. What could be a company-breaking fine for any mid-sized business will barely leave a dent in Alibaba's cash holding, and with this issue being resolved now, it is no wonder that&nbsp;shares have jumped&nbsp;following the ruling.</p>\n<p>The other theme that had pressured Alibaba's shares, Ant Financial's regulatory issues, has more or less been resolved as well. Ant Financial will be&nbsp;turned into a financial holding company, there will be some additional oversight, and there were some forced divestments. But this didn't break Ant Financial at all, and it seems questionable whether the hit to Alibaba's value was really all that material, as Alibaba is only a minority holder in Ant Financial anyways.</p>\n<p>Again, these developments that occurred over the last six months aren't positives, but they are not extremely large negatives. A $200+ billion drop in Alibaba's market capitalization seemed way overblown. The good thing about market overreactions, however, is that one can use them to get attractive entry prices (in case markets are overreacting to the downside) or attractive exit prices (in cases where markets are too exuberant).</p>\n<p>In Alibaba's case, the best time to load up on shares was when they traded for around $220 several times over the last six months. They have risen to a somewhat higher level since then, partially due to the market's realization that the $2.75 billion fine wasn't all that material, but Alibaba's shares are still looking quite inexpensive even now.</p>\n<p><b>Alibaba Is An Outstanding Value Among Tech Mega-Caps</b></p>\n<p>Looking at the largest companies in the world, by market capitalization, we see that most of them are tech companies, or at least tech-leaning, such as Tesla (TSLA). Alibaba stands out among those due to a quite low valuation:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/35e905980ec6f35fdbb0069b2386e4dd\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"521\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>While others trade at 30-40 times net earnings mostly, with Amazon (AMZN) and especially Tesla trading at even higher valuations, Alibaba is valued at a very inexpensive 21 times forward earnings. This also represents a discount compared to broad US equity markets, which are trading for around 25 times forward earnings right now - at least partially due to the heavy weight of companies such as Apple (AAPL), Amazon, and Tesla.</p>\n<p>One may be inclined to conclude that Alibaba is trading at the lowest valuation among those companies due to a below-average growth outlook or below-average fundamentals, but that isn't true.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/059736c2aa39c317943026b469331d00\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"504\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>While the other mega-caps have grown by 5%-40% in 2020, with an average of around 20%, Alibaba has delivered revenue growth of 35%-50% in each&nbsp;quarter of the current fiscal year. Clearly, Alibaba is growing faster than the average mega-cap, and most analysts expect that this will not change any time soon.</p>\n<p>Thanks to exposure to the high-growth, online-focused consumer market in its home country China, combined with excellent growth in additional franchises such as its cloud computing unit, Alibaba should be able to deliver compelling growth for the foreseeable future. Alibaba is an excellent play for the ongoing expansion of the Chinese economy, which just delivered&nbsp;record growth&nbsp;on a year-over-year basis.</p>\n<p>With a clean balance sheet thanks to a $50+ billion cash position, strong free cash flows, and attractive margins, Alibaba also seems like a very appropriate choice from a quality perspective. To me, the company doesn't look inferior to the major US tech companies on that basis.</p>\n<p><b>Risks To Consider</b></p>\n<p>There are, of course, still risks that one should consider before investing. It is possible that regulators demand more change from Alibaba, or impose additional fines, although that seems relatively unlikely for now as the current anti-monopoly investigation has just been concluded. Nevertheless, Alibaba is of course dependent to some degree on the goodwill of Chinese regulators and politicians.</p>\n<p>On top of that, due to a consumer-focused business model, Alibaba would seem quite vulnerable to any external shock that hits Chinese consumers hard. Since the country has weathered the current pandemic quite well and continues to deliver above-average economic growth rates, I don't think this is a likely scenario in the foreseeable future, though.</p>\n<p>I don't see Alibaba as an especially risky investment at all, but these factors should still be considered before making an investment, as should other potential risks that could affect the company. One should mention, however, that the top US companies are also, at least to some extent, dependent on regulatory goodwill and could see an impact from an economic downturn, thus Alibaba is not necessarily a much riskier choice than Facebook, for example.</p>\n<p><b>Takeaway</b></p>\n<p>Alibaba is a high-growth player with a strong market position in a country that continues to deliver above-average economic growth. Alibaba has strong fundamentals, and yet it trades at a quite inexpensive valuation, both on an absolute basis as well as compared to how other mega-caps are valued.</p>\n<p>Alibaba isn't a risk-less stock, but the risks seem quite bearable to me. At just 17 times 2022's net earnings, Alibaba looks attractive to me. Since the Ant Financial and anti-monopoly issues have cleared up, I believe that Alibaba's shares could rise considerably from the current level, as sentiment hopefully improves. It would be great to see management encourage such an upward move by being more aggressive with share repurchases, but there is no guarantee for that.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Alibaba: The End Hasn't Come</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\">\nAlibaba: The End Hasn't Come\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-23 20:38 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4420852-alibaba-the-end-hasnt-come><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nAlibaba's shares are down a lot from last year's highs, as a reaction to the market worrying about a range of issues.\nNone of them seems to be too material, though, and the fear that has ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4420852-alibaba-the-end-hasnt-come\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"09988":"阿里巴巴-W","BABA":"阿里巴巴"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4420852-alibaba-the-end-hasnt-come","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1170805005","content_text":"Summary\n\nAlibaba's shares are down a lot from last year's highs, as a reaction to the market worrying about a range of issues.\nNone of them seems to be too material, though, and the fear that has gripped the market has resulted in a quite inexpensive valuation.\nAlibaba is a high-growth mega-corp that trades like a low-growth company.

The good thing about market overreactions, however, is that one can use them to get attractive entry prices (in case markets are overreacting to the downside) or attractive exit prices (in cases where markets are too exuberant).\nIn Alibaba's case, the best time to load up on shares was when they traded for around $220 several times over the last six months. They have risen to a somewhat higher level since then, partially due to the market's realization that the $2.75 billion fine wasn't all that material, but Alibaba's shares are still looking quite inexpensive even now.\nAlibaba Is An Outstanding Value Among Tech Mega-Caps\nLooking at the largest companies in the world, by market capitalization, we see that most of them are tech companies, or at least tech-leaning, such as Tesla (TSLA). Alibaba stands out among those due to a quite low valuation:\nData by YCharts\nWhile others trade at 30-40 times net earnings mostly, with Amazon (AMZN) and especially Tesla trading at even higher valuations, Alibaba is valued at a very inexpensive 21 times forward earnings. This also represents a discount compared to broad US equity markets, which are trading for around 25 times forward earnings right now - at least partially due to the heavy weight of companies such as Apple (AAPL), Amazon, and Tesla.\nOne may be inclined to conclude that Alibaba is trading at the lowest valuation among those companies due to a below-average growth outlook or below-average fundamentals, but that isn't true.\nData by YCharts\nWhile the other mega-caps have grown by 5%-40% in 2020, with an average of around 20%, Alibaba has delivered revenue growth of 35%-50% in each quarter of the current fiscal year. Clearly, Alibaba is growing faster than the average mega-cap, and most analysts expect that this will not change any time soon.\nThanks to exposure to the high-growth, online-focused consumer market in its home country China, combined with excellent growth in additional franchises such as its cloud computing unit, Alibaba should be able to deliver compelling growth for the foreseeable future. Alibaba is an excellent play for the ongoing expansion of the Chinese economy, which just delivered record growth on a year-over-year basis.\nWith a clean balance sheet thanks to a $50+ billion cash position, strong free cash flows, and attractive margins, Alibaba also seems like a very appropriate choice from a quality perspective. To me, the company doesn't look inferior to the major US tech companies on that basis.\nRisks To Consider\nThere are, of course, still risks that one should consider before investing. It is possible that regulators demand more change from Alibaba, or impose additional fines, although that seems relatively unlikely for now as the current anti-monopoly investigation has just been concluded. Nevertheless, Alibaba is of course dependent to some degree on the goodwill of Chinese regulators and politicians.\nOn top of that, due to a consumer-focused business model, Alibaba would seem quite vulnerable to any external shock that hits Chinese consumers hard. Since the country has weathered the current pandemic quite well and continues to deliver above-average economic growth rates, I don't think this is a likely scenario in the foreseeable future, though.\nI don't see Alibaba as an especially risky investment at all, but these factors should still be considered before making an investment, as should other potential risks that could affect the company. One should mention, however, that the top US companies are also, at least to some extent, dependent on regulatory goodwill and could see an impact from an economic downturn, thus Alibaba is not necessarily a much riskier choice than Facebook, for example.\nTakeaway\nAlibaba is a high-growth player with a strong market position in a country that continues to deliver above-average economic growth. Alibaba has strong fundamentals, and yet it trades at a quite inexpensive valuation, both on an absolute basis as well as compared to how other mega-caps are valued.\nAlibaba isn't a risk-less stock, but the risks seem quite bearable to me. At just 17 times 2022's net earnings, Alibaba looks attractive to me. Since the Ant Financial and anti-monopoly issues have cleared up, I believe that Alibaba's shares could rise considerably from the current level, as sentiment hopefully improves. It would be great to see management encourage such an upward move by being more aggressive with share repurchases, but there is no guarantee for that.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":16,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":373969283,"gmtCreate":1618812188642,"gmtModify":1704715225586,"author":{"id":"3577096177015881","authorId":"3577096177015881","name":"ET88","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/972aa6dd92772d6bf44c97a3096c29b6","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577096177015881","authorIdStr":"3577096177015881"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tell me your opinion about this news...","listText":"Tell me your opinion about this news...","text":"Tell me your opinion about this news...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/373969283","repostId":"1114523776","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1114523776","pubTimestamp":1618801660,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1114523776?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-19 11:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 Earnings Reports to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1114523776","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Here are the big earnings reports for investors to monitor.Once again, earnings season is here.

For most of the past 11 years, stocks have kept rising, and earnings reports have been good enough to keep the rallies intact.</p><p>At the moment, this market doesn’t look much different.

That’s particularly true over the next few weeks, as the earnings calendar features some of the world’s largest companies across the market’s biggest and most important sectors.

Add in a dividend yield over 3% and investors would see double-digit returns. If Coca-Cola convinces investors that normalcy is just around the corner, those returns may arrive relatively quickly.</p><p><b>IBM (IBM)</b></p><p><b>Earnings Report Date</b>: Monday, April 19, after market close</p><p>Every earnings report is key for IBM. The company is in the midst of a multi-year turnaround which still hasn’t gained real traction.</p><p>Shares still are down more than one-third from 2013 highs in a market where tech stocks have soared.

That optimism was enough to push IBM stock to a 52-week high late last month before a recent, modest pullback.</p><p>After the really, expectations certainly aren’t sky-high, but the market no doubt is expecting progress. Anything less, and the “same old IBM” narrative likely follows earnings this week. It’s hard to see how that narrative leads to another round of new highs.</p><p><b>Earnings Reports to Watch: Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ)</b></p><p><b>Earnings Report Date</b>: Tuesday, April 20, before market open</p><p>The market quickly looked pastthe pause in J&amp;J’s Covid-19 vaccineannounced last week. After opening down 3% on Tuesday morning, JNJ stock now is essentially flat for the week.</p><p>There no doubt will be some analyst questions on the first quarter conference call about the vaccine. But investor attention likely will focus on the rest of the business, given J&amp;Jisn’t making much profiton the vaccine.</p><p>And there are real questions to be answered. J&amp;J’s medical device business struggled in 2020, with revenue down more than 10% amid lower elective surgeries. A rebound there could signal a bottom and lift other stocks with similar exposure. The same is true for the skin health and beauty businesses within J&amp;J’s consumer products segment.</p><p>And of course the pharmaceutical remains J&amp;J’s largest, at about 60% of revenue. Products like Stelara and Remicade are far more important to the company’s bottom line than is the Covid-19 vaccine.</p><p>With normalcy returning here in 2021, J&amp;J does seem set up for a good quarter. And that could boost optimism toward a long-term casethat remains attractive.</p><p><b>Procter &amp; Gamble (PG)</b></p><p><b>Earnings Report Date</b>: Tuesday, April 20, before market open</p><p>CPG (consumer packaged goods) companies like P&amp;G were early and obvious winners from the pandemic. A surge in supermarket revenue and consumer stockpiling led to unusually high growth.</p><p>But normalcy is returning — which isn’t necessarily great news for P&amp;G and its industry. Toilet paper sales, for instance,have plunged this yearas many consumers still are working through purchases made last year.</p><p>Those trends set up a big fiscal third quarter release for P&amp;G on Tuesday morning. PG stock has rallied in recent weeks after fading to an eight-month low in early March. A 23x forward price-to-earnings multiple is well above recent levels. And Q3 is the first of several quarters in which the company will face difficult, pandemic-driven, year-prior comparisons.</p><p>Particularly with PG up about 12% in six weeks, Q3 results need to be strong ahead of more difficult compares in fiscal Q4 and fiscal Q1. If they’re not, PG stock could stumble after the release — and bring other CPG stocks with it.</p><p><b>Earnings Reports to Watch: Netflix (NFLX)</b></p><p><b>Earnings Report Date</b>: Tuesday, April 20, after market close</p><p>Netflix too seems like an obvious pandemic winner. Early on, NFLX stock was treated as such, as it rallied quickly off March 2020 lows and touched an all-time high in early July.</p><p>Since then, however, NFLX has been stuck. One obvious reason why is that investor attention has turned to other streaming plays such as<b>Roku</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ROKU</u></b>) and direct Netflix competitors<b>Disney</b>(NYSE:<b><u>DIS</u></b>) and<b>ViacomCBS</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>VIAC</u></b>,NASDAQ:<b><u>VIACA</u></b>).</p><p>But earnings haven’t necessarily helped, either. NFLX stock did jump after January’s Q4 report despite a bottom-line miss, but the gains receded in a matter of weeks. Subscriber growthslowed in Q3, which the company attributed to the spike in sign-ups amid the pandemic.</p><p>With normalcy returning, earnings this week can set the 2021 narrative. A blowout quarter in the face of so much new competition establishes Netflix as the king of streaming, with other services simply fighting for second place. Any weakness, particularly in the subscriber count, might suggest that those new platforms are pulling Netflix subscribers away.</p><p>With the forward earnings multiple down to a more reasonable 43x, NFLX stock is cheap enough to break out if its dominance appears assured. And with incremental margins from additional subscribers driving the expected profit growth, it’s expensive enough to plunge if top-line momentum slows. This looks like a big quarter for NFLX stock — and big enough to move other streaming names as well.</p><p><b>AT&amp;T (T)</b></p><p><b>Earnings Report Date</b>: Thursday, April 22, before market open</p><p>One of those new Netflix competitors, of course, is AT&amp;T. The telecommunications giant launched its HBO Max streaming service in May. Despiteclearing 60 million worldwide subscribersby the end of last year, HBO Max hasn’t done much for T stock.</p><p>Of course, nothing has done much for the stock, which actually is down 2% over the past decade. Investors have received a generally healthy dividend, which now yields 7%. But in terms of share price appreciation, AT&amp;T stock has been the definition of ‘dead money’.</p><p>Something needs to change. It’s hard to see what that will be. HBO Max’s growth has been impressive, but the streaming business is cannibalizing revenue from DIRECTV as well as WarnerMedia’s TNT and TBS cable channels. In wireless, AT&amp;T continues to lose share to<b>Verizon Communications</b>(NYSE:<b><u>VZ</u></b>), which reports on Wednesday morning, and a now-larger<b>T-Mobile</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TMUS</u></b>).</p><p>Simply put, beyond the dividend yield AT&amp;T hasn’t given investors a good reason to own T stock. It needs to start doing so, and Thursday morning would be a fine time to start. AT&amp;T needs to print sustainable growth either in wireless or in WarnerMedia as a whole. Of course, as the last few years show, that’s easier said than done.</p><p><b>Earnings Reports to Watch: Intel (INTC)</b></p><p><b>Earnings Report Date</b>: Thursday, April 22, after market close</p><p>Earnings this week look absolutely crucial for Intel. INTC plunged after back-to-back earnings reports last year amidyet another stumblein its move to the 7nm node. News in December that<b>Apple</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AAPL</u></b>) and<b>Microsoft</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>MSFT</u></b>) weredeveloping their own chipsended a relief rally and sent the stock back to the lows.</p><p>Yet earlier this month INTC threatened its highest level since a brief 2000 peak amid the dot-com bubble. A better-than-expected Q4 release in January certainly helped. But the chip shortage has proved a catalyst as well. In this environment, Intel’s owned manufacturing capacity gives it an edge over ‘fabless’ rivals<b>Advanced Micro Devices</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMD</u></b>) and<b>Nvidia</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>NVDA</u></b>).</p><p>In other words, Intel has gotten a reprieve. It’s an advantage the company absolutely must take advantage of. With INTC still trading at 14x forward earnings, the stock is cheap enough that the rally can continue if Intel doesn’t give investors a reason to sell.</p><p>That might seem like a low bar to clear — but Intel’s recent history suggests otherwise.</p>","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>7 Earnings Reports to Watch This Week</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\">\n7 Earnings Reports to Watch This Week\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-19 11:07 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/earnings-reports-to-watch-next-week/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Here are the big earnings reports for investors to monitor.Once again, earnings season is here.

A better-than-expected Q4 release in January certainly helped. But the chip shortage has proved a catalyst as well. In this environment, Intel’s owned manufacturing capacity gives it an edge over ‘fabless’ rivalsAdvanced Micro Devices(NASDAQ:AMD) andNvidia(NASDAQ:NVDA).In other words, Intel has gotten a reprieve. It’s an advantage the company absolutely must take advantage of. With INTC still trading at 14x forward earnings, the stock is cheap enough that the rally can continue if Intel doesn’t give investors a reason to sell.That might seem like a low bar to clear — but Intel’s recent history suggests otherwise.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":182,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379443944,"gmtCreate":1618791662588,"gmtModify":1704714854312,"author":{"id":"3577096177015881","authorId":"3577096177015881","name":"ET88","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/972aa6dd92772d6bf44c97a3096c29b6","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577096177015881","authorIdStr":"3577096177015881"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"❤️ ?&nbsp;","listText":"❤️ ?&nbsp;","text":"❤️ ?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379443944","repostId":"1162662309","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1162662309","pubTimestamp":1618762645,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1162662309?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-19 00:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Stocks To Watch: Apple Event, Disney Callout And Earnings Blitz","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1162662309","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Welcome to Seeking Alpha's Stocks to Watch - a preview of key events scheduled for the this week.

In reality it is not, because my only concern is with the shorter-term price action. The company is on rails, and so is NVDA stock. But it doesn’t trade in a vacuum, so we have to consider the big picture.</p>\n<p>At these altitudes, it is vulnerable to sharp drops, and those could come from extrinsic reasons. With that in mind, let’s move on to evaluating what is going right now. Let’s also take a look at what could be better for NVDA moving forward.</p>\n<p>Nvidia has been in a breakout since April from around $155 per share. Along the way it really took flight mid May when it rallied 50% in 50 days. NVDA stock recently broke out again. This time from $206 per share.</p>\n<p>Committing new longs for an investment from here is less than obvious. Those who are in it for the momentum trade are fine. I only worry about investors looking to initiate new, sizable positions.</p>\n<p>At the risk of sounding repetitive and somewhat bearish, I would wait it out a few days. This is an incredible company, but I still would rather find proper entry points. Traditionally, long-term investors say that they don’t try to time the market. If that’s true, then waiting it out is just as logical as jumping in. Why not err on the side of caution with Nvidia stock?</p>\n<p>The macroeconomic conditions are unique. Wall Street has never gone through these circumstances before. We’ve rallied so long that the mathematical downside potential is much larger than the upside opportunity. One hiccup can turn into a serious crash. I am confident that we will have better entry points than up here. Missing out on a few upside bucks is a small price to pay for caution.</p>\n<p><b>NVDA Stock Is Up for Some Good Reasons</b></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/33617756f3ca229ffa5a50cbda84bf90\" tg-width=\"1542\" tg-height=\"808\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Charts by TradingView</span></p>\n<p>Now that the ugly part is out of the way, let’s talk about the good points. This company is firing on all cylinders and setting trends. It is one of three major chip suppliers and it’s reigning supreme. This year, NVDA stock is up three times more than&nbsp;<b>Advanced Micro Devices</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMD</u></b>).<b>Intel</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>INTC</u></b>) is miles behind — that’s a whole other story.</p>\n<p>This week, we learned that&nbsp;NVDA and AMD chips could wiggle their way into government super-computer applications. The reason? INTC is literally late delivering its offering.</p>\n<p>However, from a fundamental perspective, the stock is expensive. The premium is not crazy, since investors are getting the growth they seek. Besides I don’t need it to be cheap at this stage, so that’s not the concern. But when I compare it to AMD, I see dislocations.</p>\n<p>Since 2018, NVDA almost doubled its revenues and grew the net income 75%. Meanwhile, AMD more than doubled revenues and grew net income ten-fold. Clearly AMD has done more, and its financial metrics are twice as cheap compared to NVDA’s. It’s a better choice from that perspective.</p>\n<p><b>The Beginning of the End of QE</b></p>\n<p>Frankly, I would stay out of both unless I’m using options. There, I can sell puts to be long the stocks and leave a 30% buffer zone. Chasing markets at all-time highs with starter investment positions is wrong. Moreover, we are going into the end of a 3-year old QE program.</p>\n<p>I don’t anticipate the Federal Reserve actively wanting to devastate markets. However, losing huge tailwinds could create a stall on Wall Street. The Jackson Hole Fed meeting is coming up, so that could also create short-term turbulence in NVDA stock. I think they will drag their feet until November to announce the taper.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, there are trading opportunities in Nvidia. My guess is that the markets are looking for the Fed event to pass, so they can rally more. Sharp dips are buy-able for an attempt at fast profits. However, this is different than the earlier discussion of long-term investments.

In reality it is not, because my only concern is with the shorter-term price action. The company is on rails, and so is NVDA stock. But it doesn’t trade in a vacuum, so we have to consider the big picture.\nAt these altitudes, it is vulnerable to sharp drops, and those could come from extrinsic reasons. With that in mind, let’s move on to evaluating what is going right now. Let’s also take a look at what could be better for NVDA moving forward.\nNvidia has been in a breakout since April from around $155 per share. Along the way it really took flight mid May when it rallied 50% in 50 days. NVDA stock recently broke out again. This time from $206 per share.\nCommitting new longs for an investment from here is less than obvious. Those who are in it for the momentum trade are fine. I only worry about investors looking to initiate new, sizable positions.\nAt the risk of sounding repetitive and somewhat bearish, I would wait it out a few days. This is an incredible company, but I still would rather find proper entry points. Traditionally, long-term investors say that they don’t try to time the market. If that’s true, then waiting it out is just as logical as jumping in. Why not err on the side of caution with Nvidia stock?\nThe macroeconomic conditions are unique. Wall Street has never gone through these circumstances before. We’ve rallied so long that the mathematical downside potential is much larger than the upside opportunity. One hiccup can turn into a serious crash. I am confident that we will have better entry points than up here. Missing out on a few upside bucks is a small price to pay for caution.\nNVDA Stock Is Up for Some Good Reasons\nSource: Charts by TradingView\nNow that the ugly part is out of the way, let’s talk about the good points. This company is firing on all cylinders and setting trends. It is one of three major chip suppliers and it’s reigning supreme. This year, NVDA stock is up three times more than Advanced Micro Devices(NASDAQ:AMD).Intel(NASDAQ:INTC) is miles behind — that’s a whole other story.\nThis week, we learned that NVDA and AMD chips could wiggle their way into government super-computer applications. The reason? INTC is literally late delivering its offering.\nHowever, from a fundamental perspective, the stock is expensive. The premium is not crazy, since investors are getting the growth they seek. Besides I don’t need it to be cheap at this stage, so that’s not the concern. But when I compare it to AMD, I see dislocations.\nSince 2018, NVDA almost doubled its revenues and grew the net income 75%. Meanwhile, AMD more than doubled revenues and grew net income ten-fold. Clearly AMD has done more, and its financial metrics are twice as cheap compared to NVDA’s. It’s a better choice from that perspective.\nThe Beginning of the End of QE\nFrankly, I would stay out of both unless I’m using options. There, I can sell puts to be long the stocks and leave a 30% buffer zone. Chasing markets at all-time highs with starter investment positions is wrong. Moreover, we are going into the end of a 3-year old QE program.\nI don’t anticipate the Federal Reserve actively wanting to devastate markets. However, losing huge tailwinds could create a stall on Wall Street. The Jackson Hole Fed meeting is coming up, so that could also create short-term turbulence in NVDA stock. I think they will drag their feet until November to announce the taper.\nMeanwhile, there are trading opportunities in Nvidia. My guess is that the markets are looking for the Fed event to pass, so they can rally more. Sharp dips are buy-able for an attempt at fast profits. However, this is different than the earlier discussion of long-term investments. This is where it’s important for us to know our objective — to trade or invest?\nTo be clear, my comments about waiting things out for better entries are for investors, not traders. Nvidia stock is a monster because the company is executing flawlessly. We can’t short such a scenario, so it’s a matter of finding an appropriate entry point for the long haul.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":567,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":890530433,"gmtCreate":1628122909722,"gmtModify":1703501549247,"author":{"id":"3577096177015881","authorId":"3577096177015881","name":"ET88","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/972aa6dd92772d6bf44c97a3096c29b6","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577096177015881","authorIdStr":"3577096177015881"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yay!&nbsp;","listText":"Yay!&nbsp;","text":"Yay!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/890530433","repostId":"1116782530","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":688,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
