vehicles that will be built this summer for validation testing.\n\nCruise, a majority-owned subsidiary ofGeneral Motors, has secured a new $5 billion line of credit as it prepares for commercialization of its autonomous ride-hailing business.\nThe new credit, announced Tuesday, is being provided by GM's automotive financing arm to use for the purchase of Cruise's self-driving Origin shuttles, which GM isexpected to begin producingat a factory in Detroit in early 2023. It brings Cruise's war chest to more than $10 billion, according to Cruise CEO Dan Ammann.\n″$10 billion. It’s a big number. However, when you think about what we’re building - safer, cleaner, and more accessible transportation for the world - you quickly realize it’s also a necessary number,” Ammann said in a blog post. “This is an incredibly exciting time for Cruise.”\nUltimately, GM Finance is providing Cruise credit instead of the company attempting to raise outside capital, which it has done in the past. GM acquired Cruise in 2016. Since then, it has brought on investors such as Honda Motor, SoftBank Vision Fund and, more recently, Walmart and Microsoft.\nThis past month, Cruise said GM began assembly of 100 pre-production Cruise Origin vehicles that will be built this summer for validation testing.\nThe Origin, which wasunveiled in January 2020, is the company’s first vehicle specifically designed to operate without a driver on board. It does not have manual controls such as pedals or a steering wheel.\nThe new credit line and pre-production model announcements follow Cruise earlier this month becoming the first autonomous vehicle developer to obtain a permit from the California Public Utilities Commission to givepassengers rides in prototype robotaxis.\nCommercializing autonomous vehicles has been far more challenging than many predicted even a few years ago. The challenges have led to a consolidation in the autonomous vehicle sector after years of enthusiasm touting the technology as the next multitrillion-dollar market for transportation companies.\nCruise was expected to launch a ride-hailing service for the public in San Francisco in 2019. The company delayed those plans that year to conduct further testing. It has been operating an employee ride-hailing service with a current fleet of autonomous vehicles in San Francisco for several years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":313,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":160880084,"gmtCreate":1623779666948,"gmtModify":1703819300757,"author":{"id":"3577175332033659","authorId":"3577175332033659","name":"meepmeep","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d271637fdd65cb96a55511720d2d85fe","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577175332033659","authorIdStr":"3577175332033659"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hehe","listText":"Hehe","text":"Hehe","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/160880084","repostId":"1150591447","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1150591447","pubTimestamp":1623769391,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1150591447?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-15 23:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here's a complete trader playbook for every outcome from the key Fed meeting","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1150591447","media":"CNBC","summary":"The Federal Reserve’s all-important policy meeting this week is going to affect where investors put ","content":"<div>\n<p>The Federal Reserve’s all-important policy meeting this week is going to affect where investors put their money to work going forward.\nThe Federal Open Market Committee,which will conclude its two-day...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/15/heres-a-complete-trader-playbook-for-every-outcome-from-the-key-fed-meeting.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Some market participants believe it’s still too soon for the central bank to signal such a tapering action, while others think the Fed will be able to find a happy medium that won’t upset the markets.\nEach scenario has different investing implications as they are expected to make big moves across asset classes.\nHere’s a playbook for traders on every scenario from the central bank’s key meeting.\nIf the Fed signals it’s staying with easy policies\nThe Fed could reiterate its transitory stance on inflation, ignoring the pick-up in price pressures reflected in recent economic data. If the central bank says its not time to remove accommodative policies and it’s not concerned about inflation, investors should stick with hedges against rising prices like commodities and stocks with high pricing power, investment banks found.\nBank of America screened S&P 500 companies that its analysts believe have the most pricing power and ability to expand margins at times of rising prices. The stocks include a few chipmakers —Nvidia,Texas InstrumentsandBroadcom— as well as consumer plays likeHome Depot,NikeandPepsiCo.Energy dividend payerExxon Mobilis also on the list.\nUBS also developed a framework for scoring corporate pricing agility, which considers pricing power, margin momentum and input cost exposure. For pricing power, UBS quantified the extent to which a company can raise prices over and above costs. For margin momentum, UBS tracked corporate pricing trends using its proprietary pricing mapping.\nFor input cost exposure, UBS searched for companies with negative sentiment around commodity and transport costs on earnings calls.\n\nBillionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones said earlier this week that investors should “go all in on the inflation trades” if the Fed keeps ignoring higher prices.\n“If they treat these numbers — which were material events, they were very material —if they treat them with nonchalance, I think it’s just a green light to bet heavily on every inflation trade,” Tudor Jones said on “Squawk Box”on Monday.\n“If they say, ‘We’re on path, things are good,’ then I would just go all in on the inflation trades. I’d probably buy commodities, buy crypto, buy gold,” added Tudor Jones, who called the stock market crash in 1987.\nThe legendary investor believe cryptocurrencies and other commodities are favorable inflation hedges. Other than buying the commodities outright, investors could also bet on related exchange-traded funds, like gold miner ETFs.\nThe VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX),the biggest gold miner ETF with more than $14 billion in assets under management, has outperformed the populargold ETF GLDso far this year.\nIf the Fed signals it’s time to start removing easy policies\nAnother widely speculated scenario is for the Fed to signal that it’s nearing the time to dial back easy policy saying it will start tapering soon and move up its forecast for a rate increase. Under such a case where the central bank isn’t sufficiently dovish, many expect bond yields to shoot higher.\n“It could easily move longer yields higher,” said Kristina Hooper, Invesco’s chief global market strategist. “A revised dot plot could be one way to do that if it shows the anticipation of earlier or more aggressive rate hikes. And Fed Chair Jay Powell could easily push rates up if he shares that the Fed has started discussing tapering or suggests tapering could start in the next several months.”\nTudor Jones warned that this scenario could lead to another taper tantrum that could cause a correction in stocks.\n“If they course correct, if they say, ‘We’ve got incoming data, we’ve accomplished our mission or we’re on the way very rapidly to accomplishing our mission on employment,’ then you’re going to get a taper tantrum,”Tudor Jones said on Monday. “You’re going to get a sell-off in fixed income. You’re going to get a correction in stocks.”\nCNBC Pro combed through the returns of all S&P 500 stocks during the last five significant spikes in the 10-year Treasury yield. These five periods of a sharp move in rates occurred between 2003 and 2006, 2008 and 2009, 2012 and 2013, 2016 and 2018, and 2020 through now.\nAfter we found the stocks that beat the market every time, we looked for the names that are well-loved by analysts on Wall Street today. The stocks’ average gains during those rising interest rate periods are listed below, along with the percentage of analysts with buy ratings right now.\n\nBank of America’s head of U.S. equity and quantitative strategy Savita Subramanian is advising clients to buy high-quality stocks when tapering nears. High-quality stocks have a “B+” or better S&P quality rating.\nSubramanian said during the 2013 taper tantrum, high-quality names outperformed their low-quality counterparts by 1.3 percentage points from peak to trough in May and June.\nA hint at removing stimulus could also hurt stocks that are most sensitive to the economic recovery, including cyclicals like financials, energy and materials.\n“More hawkish = lower growth. Cyclicals should underperform,” Dennis DeBusschere, macro research analyst at Evercore ISI, said in a note. “The fact that hawkish concerns are being brought up at the same time people believe the reflation trade is in trouble and you have a poor Cyclical backdrop.”\nSo far in 2021, the energy sector has been the biggest winner among the 11 S&P 500 groupings, up 46%. Financials and real estate both gained more than 20% this year.\nIf the Fed makes both camps happy\nA third scenario could occur in which the Fed signals that it is concerned about inflation, but the central bank is not yet ready to taper.\nIf Fed chair Jerome Powell admits the discussion of tapering but nothing has been decided, then the market will likely see a modest rally, led by tech stocks, according to Tom Essaye, founder of the Sevens Report.\n“This is essentially the outcome that Powell and the Fed have been telegraphing for the past several weeks,” Essaye said. “This would be a continuation of the past two weeks’ Goldilocks market outlook. This outcome would help the S&P 500 extend last week’s breakout.”\nInvestors have been rotating back to tech as of late with bond yields coming down. The tech-heavyNasdaq Compositehas rallied about 2.5% this month, hitting a record close on Monday, its first all-time high since April 26. In comparison, the S&P 500 has risen just under 1% in June.\n“This is what the Fed has been doing for the last several months — warning that an inflation surge was coming but that it is transitory so no need to taper,” Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at the Leuthold Group, told CNBC. “Moreover, this is probably the most expected outcome from the Fed meeting.”\n“Yes, there may be comments by members that the time to start talking about tapering is here, but I think Powell will continue to suggest that inflation is up as expected but is not yet acting any differently than anticipated,” added Paulsen.\nThis year’s pullback in tech stocks has opened some opportunities in high-quality names that are now trading at a discount, according to top-rated technology analyst Toni Sacconaghi of Bernstein.\nThe Wall Street firm found several technology stocks that have inexpensive valuations and are high in quality. Bernstein screened for the cheapest tech names based on their forward price-to-earnings ratio. The firm also assigned each stock with a quality score.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":166,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":184172717,"gmtCreate":1623694068839,"gmtModify":1704208922491,"author":{"id":"3577175332033659","authorId":"3577175332033659","name":"meepmeep","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d271637fdd65cb96a55511720d2d85fe","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577175332033659","authorIdStr":"3577175332033659"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/184172717","repostId":"2143780057","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2143780057","pubTimestamp":1623683640,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2143780057?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-14 23:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Crypto Custodian Brane Capital Announces Public Listing Plans","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2143780057","media":"StreetInsider","summary":"OTTAWA, Ontario, June 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Brane Inc., a leading cryptocurrency custodian, annou","content":"<p>OTTAWA, Ontario, June 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Brane Inc., a leading cryptocurrency custodian, announced today that it plans to become a publicly traded company in fall 2021.</p>\n<p>The strategy will advance Brane's intention to become the first made-in-Canada qualified custodian for digital assets, providing Canadian financial institutions and investors with a domestic, industry-leading custody solution in a space currently dominated by a single U.S. company.</p>\n<p>Brane has signed a letter of intent with Timeless Capital Corp., a capital pool company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, for a reverse takeover transaction that will result in Brane's public listing on the Exchange, subject to regulatory approvals.</p>\n<p>Timeless Capital Corp's release on the transaction can be found here.</p>\n<p>\"Becoming a public company will be another significant step in our mission of bringing a truly Canadian, regulatory compliant custody solution to the world's new asset class.

What sets Coursera apart is its symbiotic relationship with established universities. Instead of trying to disrupt the higher education industry, Coursera is attempting to work with them to reimagine what higher education and professional courses should look like in a digital world.</p><p>That strategy seems to be working. Coursera has more than77 million students, more than most of its rivals. The company’sCoursera for Campusattracted 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world. At the end of 2020, 130 of these institutions were premium subscribers. 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies are alsopaying for Coursera’s enterprise offerings.</p><p>Unsurprisingly, that traction is reflected on the top line. In 2020, Coursera generated $293 million in revenue, up 59% from the previous year. Year-on-year user growth came in at 65%. However, the company extended free courses and features throughout the pandemic to gin up traffic. That led to higher costs and a loss of $66.8 million in 2020, up from $46.7 million in 2019. Free cash flow was -$26.9 million over the course of the year.</p><p>Coursera doesn’t expect to become cash flow positive or profitable anytime soon. In fact, theS-1 clearly statesthat the company “had an accumulated deficit of $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020,” and that they anticipate that the company “will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.”</p><p>The reopening is another risk. With students heading back to the campus this fall, it’s difficult to say if Coursera can sustain last year’s momentum and keep students and universities engaged on its platform.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2765e424ebb38bf8c4fdf74bcb5d0086\" tg-width=\"605\" tg-height=\"270\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Coursera product tiers</span></p><p>Nevertheless, the company’s partnerships with government agencies, library of content from top universities, enterprise training products and micro-certification courses could help it bolster growth over time. Online learning already was a rapidly-growing market pre-pandemic. Some estimates suggest the marketcould be worth $350 billionby 2025. Coursera was last valued at $2.5 billion.</p><p>It could be worth a lot more when the IPO is completed. One early investor is certainly expecting a windfall: SuRo Capital(NASDAQ:SSSS).</p><p><b>Operating Results</b></p><p>The company earned $293 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, up 59% from 2019. Net losses widened by about $20 million year-on-year, reaching $66.8 million in 2020. Revenues shot up as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic’s effect on traditional education. In tandem with rising demand, operating costs associated with the company’s services rose, largely driven by the freemium content and marketing expenses. Coursera added over 12,000 new degree learners across the two years ended December 31, 2020 at an average acquisition cost of just below $2,000. The number of registered users rose by 65% year-on-year in 2020. Coursera’s accumulated deficit since its founding stood at $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The company does not expect to turn a profit in the foreseeable future.</p><p>The company’sCoursera for Campus,launched in late 2019to enable colleges to offer its library of MOOCs to their students, has been a key driver of recent revenue growth. At the start of the pandemic, Coursera made the program free to tertiary institutions until Sept. 30, 2020. Over 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world signed up for the program, which, according to the company’s S-1 filing, makes it, “one of our fastest growing offerings”. As of December 31, 2020, over 130 tertiary institutions were paying for it.</p><p>At this point, it is hard to predict what the end of the pandemic would have on the company’s operating results.</p><p><b>SuRo Capital - Coursera’s Proxy</b></p><p>San Francisco-based SuRo Capital is a business development company focused on tech startups and innovative private companies. SuRo’s portfolio is heavily concentrated in preferred shares of noteworthy tech startups such asCourseHero,Rent the Runway,Nextdoor,Blink HealthandForge Global.</p><p>The largest and most noteworthy position in their portfolio is a $94 million stake in Palantir Technologies(NYSE:PLTR). In fact, my first article on the company was publishedjust before Palantir’s IPO. Over the past 12 months, the stock is up 281%, which means it outperformed the most talked about tech ETF of the year - Ark Innovation ETF(NYSEARCA:ARKK).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/803c42a2fe2b33ae60db98bb236a638e\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"852\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Now, Palantir accounts for 31.4% of SuRo’s portfolio. Coursera is the second-largest holding. Accounting for 17.6% of the portfolio, SuRo reported the fair value of its stake at $53.2 million recently. It’s worth noting that SuRo holds this stake in preferred shares paying out 8% a year in dividends. These preferred shares should be worth a lot more when the company lists publicly. Analysts estimate Coursera could be worth as much as$5 billion, which is roughly double its valuation from 2020.</p><p>At that price, Coursera would become SuRo’s largest holding, adding roughly $50 million to the company’s book value.</p><p>Altogether,SuRo’s portfolio is worth $430 million. Meanwhile, the company’s market capitalization is $274 million. If the Coursera IPO is as successful as some of the other major tech IPOs we’ve witnessed this year, this discount to fair value could broaden further.</p><p><b>The Strategy and Market Opportunity</b></p><p>Coursera is one of the most disruptive firms in the world. It has a flywheel approach to value creation, with significant price-to-cost advantages versus its competition. The company reported that about half of its new degree students in 2020 had been previously registered with Coursera and that its average student acquisition cost was less than $2,000. Its average student acquisition cost is lower than the industry standard. The edu-tech platform is able to efficiently acquire learners at scale because of the huge number of free, high-quality courses that it offers in partnership with top educational institutions and corporations; its ability to personalize content based on its wealth of data; the strength of word-of-mouth promotion by learners; the profitability of its affiliate paid marketing channel.</p><p>The platform offers a number of education tracks, for example:</p><ul><li>Specializations: A learner can pay between $39 and $99 a month for job-specific content across over 500 categories.</li><li>MasterTrack Certificates: For a quarter to a year, a learner can earn a certificate issued by a university-issued certificate. Prices range from $2,000 to $6,000.</li><li>Bachelor’s or Master’s Degrees: Fees range from $9,000 to $45,000.</li><li>Coursera for Enterprise: Through this platform, businesses, educational institutions and governments can deploy content to their learners.</li></ul><p>In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Coursera partnered with over 330 government agencies across 30 U.S. states and cities and 70 countries as part of itsCoursera Workforce Recovery Initiative, which gave governments the chance to offer unemployed workers free access to thousands of business, data science, and technology courses from companies such as Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL).</p><p>The company has 77 million registered learners, as well as over 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies who paid for its enterprise offerings. The majority of its revenue (51%) was earned outside of the United States. Converting only a fraction of its 77 million registered users into paid users would change the economics of customer acquisition. The company’s present scale is a huge competitive advantage in the market.</p><p>A learner’s curriculum is designed to be “stackable”, which is to say that a learner can go through a domain in an incremental fashion. The company is able to leverage the huge volume of data it has accumulated from its over 220 million enrollments to personalize content. So, for example, Coursera’s Skills Graphs can suggest paths for job skills.</p><p>Coursera uses technology to drive down distribution costs, make content more affordable, extend access to less economically-endowed regions, help learners keep abreast of emerging skills, and grow its market opportunity. The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated secular trends towards the use of technology in education.</p><p>The size of the addressable market is massive and it’s easy to see why.An August 2020 study by the United Nationsdemonstrates the degree of disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic: of the 1.6 billion students in 190 countries covered in the report, or 94% of the world’s students, were prevented from going to school because of Covid-19 pandemic related school closures.</p><p>In 2017, the World Bank indicated thatof the 200 million college students in the world, many do not have job-specific skills.</p><p>The Covid-19 pandemic and prior secular trends suggest that the future of education is in blended classrooms, job-specific education and continuous, lifelong education. Online learning platforms like Coursera will be the primary means through which educational content is delivered.</p><p>Globally, spending on higher education in 2019 was $2.2 trillion,according to HolonIQ. Spending on online degrees was $36 billion and is predicted to reach $74 billion by 2025.</p><p>With a huge, existing learner base; a strong brand; and the significant advantages detailed above, Coursera is likely to grab a significant amount of the market’s growth. Of thescenarios for the future of education, it seems that Coursera will continue to grow.</p><p>Risks</p><p>Coursera's S-1 lists several potential risks that investors should be aware of. However, I believe some are more noteworthy than others and Coursera may have missed some key risks.</p><p>Competition, for one, is something the team could have elaborated on further. Coursera is far from the only online education provider. In fact, many of its rivals including Skillshare, Gumroad, Khan Academy and Udemy have more recognizable brands.</p><p>Khan Academy is particularly noteworthy because many of the courses it offers are free. That, in my opinion, is another key risk for Coursera and perhaps the entire EdTech space. While higher education is a luxury service in North America, it's free in places like Germany. Much of the world would prefer a low-cost or free model to develop talent and plug the skills gap. College in India, for instance, costs$5,000 a year on average. Coursera isn't profitable at its current average pricing of $9,000 to $25,000 per degree course. Lower costs in the rest of the world could make profitability a bigger challenge.</p><p>Coursera could potentially overcome these challenges by recruiting lower-cost education providers in emerging markets, convincing students to pay a premium and differentiating its courses by partnering with elite universities and recruitment channels.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>Coursera seems poised to meet the challenges of a changing education landscape. With its vast, existing user base, its flywheel model, its competitive advantages, and its existence in a huge and growing addressable market, the company is likely to do very well. The company’s value proposition is compelling. However, long run success does not equate to a good investment in the short run. An unprofitable company like Coursera is likely to be very volatile on the markets until it reaches profitability. It is better to wait for Coursera to turn a profit before investing in the company.</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>Coursera opens for trading at $40, up 21.21% from IPO price</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\">\nCoursera opens for trading at $40, up 21.21% from IPO price\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-01 00:14 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/news/3677898-online-learning-platform-coursera-seeks-to-raise-484m-in-ipo><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>(March 31) Coursera opens for trading at $40, up 21.21% from IPO price.

Coursera prices IPO at $33, for valuation of $4.3 billion.Coursera has priced an IPO of 15.73M shares of its common stock at $33.00/share, including ~14.7M shares to beissued and sold by Coursera and ~1.1M by the selling stockholders.Expected gross proceeds are $483.9M.Trading kicks off March 31.Underwriters' over-allotment is an additional ~2.4M shares.Coursera will not receive any proceeds from shares sale by selling stockholders.Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are acting as lead book-running managers.Closing date is April 5.Online learning giant Coursera has 77M registered learners. It partners with over 200 universities and industry partners to offer a broad catalog of content and credentials.SuRo Capital, a business development company, holds a massive stake in the company.In 2020, Coursera generated $293.5M in revenue, up from $184.4M in 2019. Launched in 2012 by Stanford University computer science professors Daphne Koller and Andrew Ng, Coursera is one of many massive open online course (MOOC) providers that have emerged since the dawn of the Internet. What sets Coursera apart is its symbiotic relationship with established universities. Instead of trying to disrupt the higher education industry, Coursera is attempting to work with them to reimagine what higher education and professional courses should look like in a digital world.That strategy seems to be working. Coursera has more than77 million students, more than most of its rivals. The company’sCoursera for Campusattracted 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world. At the end of 2020, 130 of these institutions were premium subscribers. 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies are alsopaying for Coursera’s enterprise offerings.Unsurprisingly, that traction is reflected on the top line. In 2020, Coursera generated $293 million in revenue, up 59% from the previous year. Year-on-year user growth came in at 65%. However, the company extended free courses and features throughout the pandemic to gin up traffic. That led to higher costs and a loss of $66.8 million in 2020, up from $46.7 million in 2019. Free cash flow was -$26.9 million over the course of the year.Coursera doesn’t expect to become cash flow positive or profitable anytime soon. In fact, theS-1 clearly statesthat the company “had an accumulated deficit of $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020,” and that they anticipate that the company “will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.”The reopening is another risk. With students heading back to the campus this fall, it’s difficult to say if Coursera can sustain last year’s momentum and keep students and universities engaged on its platform.Coursera product tiersNevertheless, the company’s partnerships with government agencies, library of content from top universities, enterprise training products and micro-certification courses could help it bolster growth over time. Online learning already was a rapidly-growing market pre-pandemic. Some estimates suggest the marketcould be worth $350 billionby 2025. Coursera was last valued at $2.5 billion.It could be worth a lot more when the IPO is completed. One early investor is certainly expecting a windfall: SuRo Capital(NASDAQ:SSSS).Operating ResultsThe company earned $293 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, up 59% from 2019. Net losses widened by about $20 million year-on-year, reaching $66.8 million in 2020. Revenues shot up as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic’s effect on traditional education. In tandem with rising demand, operating costs associated with the company’s services rose, largely driven by the freemium content and marketing expenses. Coursera added over 12,000 new degree learners across the two years ended December 31, 2020 at an average acquisition cost of just below $2,000. The number of registered users rose by 65% year-on-year in 2020. Coursera’s accumulated deficit since its founding stood at $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The company does not expect to turn a profit in the foreseeable future.The company’sCoursera for Campus,launched in late 2019to enable colleges to offer its library of MOOCs to their students, has been a key driver of recent revenue growth. At the start of the pandemic, Coursera made the program free to tertiary institutions until Sept. 30, 2020. Over 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world signed up for the program, which, according to the company’s S-1 filing, makes it, “one of our fastest growing offerings”. As of December 31, 2020, over 130 tertiary institutions were paying for it.At this point, it is hard to predict what the end of the pandemic would have on the company’s operating results.SuRo Capital - Coursera’s ProxySan Francisco-based SuRo Capital is a business development company focused on tech startups and innovative private companies. SuRo’s portfolio is heavily concentrated in preferred shares of noteworthy tech startups such asCourseHero,Rent the Runway,Nextdoor,Blink HealthandForge Global.The largest and most noteworthy position in their portfolio is a $94 million stake in Palantir Technologies(NYSE:PLTR). In fact, my first article on the company was publishedjust before Palantir’s IPO. Over the past 12 months, the stock is up 281%, which means it outperformed the most talked about tech ETF of the year - Ark Innovation ETF(NYSEARCA:ARKK).Now, Palantir accounts for 31.4% of SuRo’s portfolio. Coursera is the second-largest holding. Accounting for 17.6% of the portfolio, SuRo reported the fair value of its stake at $53.2 million recently. It’s worth noting that SuRo holds this stake in preferred shares paying out 8% a year in dividends. These preferred shares should be worth a lot more when the company lists publicly. Analysts estimate Coursera could be worth as much as$5 billion, which is roughly double its valuation from 2020.At that price, Coursera would become SuRo’s largest holding, adding roughly $50 million to the company’s book value.Altogether,SuRo’s portfolio is worth $430 million. Meanwhile, the company’s market capitalization is $274 million. If the Coursera IPO is as successful as some of the other major tech IPOs we’ve witnessed this year, this discount to fair value could broaden further.The Strategy and Market OpportunityCoursera is one of the most disruptive firms in the world. It has a flywheel approach to value creation, with significant price-to-cost advantages versus its competition. The company reported that about half of its new degree students in 2020 had been previously registered with Coursera and that its average student acquisition cost was less than $2,000. Its average student acquisition cost is lower than the industry standard. The edu-tech platform is able to efficiently acquire learners at scale because of the huge number of free, high-quality courses that it offers in partnership with top educational institutions and corporations; its ability to personalize content based on its wealth of data; the strength of word-of-mouth promotion by learners; the profitability of its affiliate paid marketing channel.The platform offers a number of education tracks, for example:Specializations: A learner can pay between $39 and $99 a month for job-specific content across over 500 categories.MasterTrack Certificates: For a quarter to a year, a learner can earn a certificate issued by a university-issued certificate. Prices range from $2,000 to $6,000.Bachelor’s or Master’s Degrees: Fees range from $9,000 to $45,000.Coursera for Enterprise: Through this platform, businesses, educational institutions and governments can deploy content to their learners.In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Coursera partnered with over 330 government agencies across 30 U.S. states and cities and 70 countries as part of itsCoursera Workforce Recovery Initiative, which gave governments the chance to offer unemployed workers free access to thousands of business, data science, and technology courses from companies such as Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL).The company has 77 million registered learners, as well as over 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies who paid for its enterprise offerings. The majority of its revenue (51%) was earned outside of the United States. Converting only a fraction of its 77 million registered users into paid users would change the economics of customer acquisition. The company’s present scale is a huge competitive advantage in the market.A learner’s curriculum is designed to be “stackable”, which is to say that a learner can go through a domain in an incremental fashion. The company is able to leverage the huge volume of data it has accumulated from its over 220 million enrollments to personalize content. So, for example, Coursera’s Skills Graphs can suggest paths for job skills.Coursera uses technology to drive down distribution costs, make content more affordable, extend access to less economically-endowed regions, help learners keep abreast of emerging skills, and grow its market opportunity. The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated secular trends towards the use of technology in education.The size of the addressable market is massive and it’s easy to see why.An August 2020 study by the United Nationsdemonstrates the degree of disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic: of the 1.6 billion students in 190 countries covered in the report, or 94% of the world’s students, were prevented from going to school because of Covid-19 pandemic related school closures.In 2017, the World Bank indicated thatof the 200 million college students in the world, many do not have job-specific skills.The Covid-19 pandemic and prior secular trends suggest that the future of education is in blended classrooms, job-specific education and continuous, lifelong education. Online learning platforms like Coursera will be the primary means through which educational content is delivered.Globally, spending on higher education in 2019 was $2.2 trillion,according to HolonIQ. Spending on online degrees was $36 billion and is predicted to reach $74 billion by 2025.With a huge, existing learner base; a strong brand; and the significant advantages detailed above, Coursera is likely to grab a significant amount of the market’s growth. Of thescenarios for the future of education, it seems that Coursera will continue to grow.RisksCoursera's S-1 lists several potential risks that investors should be aware of. However, I believe some are more noteworthy than others and Coursera may have missed some key risks.Competition, for one, is something the team could have elaborated on further. Coursera is far from the only online education provider. In fact, many of its rivals including Skillshare, Gumroad, Khan Academy and Udemy have more recognizable brands.Khan Academy is particularly noteworthy because many of the courses it offers are free. That, in my opinion, is another key risk for Coursera and perhaps the entire EdTech space. While higher education is a luxury service in North America, it's free in places like Germany. Much of the world would prefer a low-cost or free model to develop talent and plug the skills gap. College in India, for instance, costs$5,000 a year on average. Coursera isn't profitable at its current average pricing of $9,000 to $25,000 per degree course. Lower costs in the rest of the world could make profitability a bigger challenge.Coursera could potentially overcome these challenges by recruiting lower-cost education providers in emerging markets, convincing students to pay a premium and differentiating its courses by partnering with elite universities and recruitment channels.ConclusionCoursera seems poised to meet the challenges of a changing education landscape. With its vast, existing user base, its flywheel model, its competitive advantages, and its existence in a huge and growing addressable market, the company is likely to do very well. The company’s value proposition is compelling. However, long run success does not equate to a good investment in the short run. An unprofitable company like Coursera is likely to be very volatile on the markets until it reaches profitability. It is better to wait for Coursera to turn a profit before investing in the company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":209,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":351307365,"gmtCreate":1616560082557,"gmtModify":1704795660383,"author":{"id":"3577175332033659","authorId":"3577175332033659","name":"meepmeep","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d271637fdd65cb96a55511720d2d85fe","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577175332033659","authorIdStr":"3577175332033659"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/351307365","repostId":"1114012318","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1114012318","pubTimestamp":1616556732,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1114012318?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-24 11:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"These Are The 5 Best Stocks To Buy And Watch Now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1114012318","media":"investors","summary":"Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard","content":"<p>Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard.

Invest in stocks with recent quarterly and annual earnings growth of at least 25%. Look for companies that have new, game-changing products and services. Also consider not-yet-profitable companies, often recent IPOs, that are generating tremendous revenue growth.</p>\n<p>IBD'sCAN SLIM Investing Systemhas a proven track record of significantly outperforming the S&amp;P 500.

An important consideration is that these stocks all boast impressive relative strength.</p>\n<p>Google Stock</p>\n<p>Google parent Alphabet is near abuy pointof 2,145.24, as athree-weeks-tighthas evolved into a flat base, according toMarketSmith chart analysis. The entry is just above the mid-February all-time high.</p>\n<p>Google stock has been trading around its 21-day exponential moving average and is just above its 10-week line.</p>\n<p>Therelative strength lineforGOOGL stockis near a record high. This gauges a stock's performance compared to the S&amp;P 500. If Alphabet's RS line spikes again, it will be a sign the stock is ready to push higher still.</p>\n<p>GOOGL stock has a very strong&nbsp; IBD Composite Rating of 94. That puts it in the top 6% of stocks tracked overall. Earnings are stronger than stock market performance, however. Nevertheless, the stock is up more than 16% so far this year.</p>\n<p>Google stock&nbsp;should benefit from a rebound in digital advertising as coronavirus vaccinations expand. Stock buybacks are another bright spot. Cloud computing holds promise, but remains an unprofitable business for Alphabet for now.</p>\n<p>The tech giant has a Relative Strength Rating of 66. That means it has outperformed 66% of stocks tracked in terms of price performance over the past 12 months.</p>\n<p>In recent years, Google stock has only slightly outpaced the S&amp;P 500, but that outperformance has picked up in recent months, as its RS line shows. Google has done exceptionally well vs. many tech stocks over the past few weeks.</p>\n<p>Earnings are a key strength, which is highlighted by its EPS Rating of 93 out of a best-possible 99. Howeverearnings have grown by an average of 10%over the past three years, below the 25% sought by CAN SLIM investors.</p>\n<p>Last month the firm reported fourth-quarter earnings and revenue that crushed estimates as its core search advertising business rebounded. EPS grew 29% and revenue 23%, both accelerating for a second straight quarter.</p>\n<p>Cloud computing revenue topped views, though high investment prevented it from being a profitable enterprise.</p>\n<p>\"Cloud businesses scale, so revenue/booking trends will matter,\" Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak said in a report to clients.</p>\n<p>And while operating margins for the Google cloud computing business came in much lower than analyst estimates, Bank of America analyst Justin Post was upbeat.</p>\n<p>\"We think new cloud disclosure suggests optimism on margin trajectory, and we see a potential $10 billion profit improvement over the next five years using Amazon margins as a target,\" Post said in a research note.</p>\n<p>Analysts expect Google earnings to swell 32% in 2021 and 17% in 2022.</p>\n<p>CarMax Stock</p>\n<p>CarMax stock is in buy zone after breaking out of aflat base. The ideal&nbsp;entry point is 128.68, according to&nbsp;MarketSmith analysis.</p>\n<p>The used car dealer chain is currently well clear of its50-day moving average, which is a bullish sign.</p>\n<p>In addition, therelative strength linefor CarMax stock is looking mighty. It is sitting near all-time highs on its weekly chart, and has been trending upwards since early January. The stock is up more around 40% so far this year.</p>\n<p>KMX stock has a strong, but not ideal,&nbsp;IBD Composite Rating of 87. Earnings are the standout strength for KMX stock, with itsEPS Rating coming in at 90 out of 99.</p>\n<p>It has been affected by the initial coronavirus lockdowns, butEPS roared back to 37% growth&nbsp;in the most recent quarter. Earnings have accelerated for the past two quarters.</p>\n<p>Analysts see earnings falling 16% in 2021, before roaring back with growth of 27% in 2022.</p>\n<p>Big money is piling in, with its&nbsp;Accumulation/Distribution Rating coming in at B. This represents moderate buying over the past 13 weeks. In total, 57% of its stock is held by funds.</p>\n<p>CarMax operates used car stores in more than 70 metropolitan markets. It is a recentIBD Stock Of The Day.</p>\n<p>CarMax's network of 220 stores nationwide sold more than 830,000 used cars in its last financial year. Overall used vehicle sales are expected to rise 2.9% in 2021 to 39.3 million, according to Cox Automotive.</p>\n<p>For Q3, it reported more than 50% of customers chose to advance their transaction online. It has expanded in home delivery and contactless curbside pickup, tapping new avenues of growth.</p>\n<p>\"We are on track for most of our customers to have the ability to buy vehicle online independently if they choose by the middle of next fiscal year,\" CEO Bill Nash said on an earnings call last December.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, more consumers moved to the used car market during the pandemic. At the same time, used car prices rose on a combination of factors.</p>\n<p>The pandemic strained Americans' wallets, forcing consumers to hold on to old cars longer and making fewer used cars available for sale. People also sought to avoid mass transportation. Rising new car prices, partly due to limited supply, also turned more shoppers to the used market.</p>\n<p>RBC Stock</p>\n<p>RBC stock has slipped below its buy zone after breaking out of acup base. The ideal buy point here is 147.07. Investors will want to see the stock show some strength here, rather than dipping lower.</p>\n<p>The relative strength line has more than recovered after a brief pullback, and is juts off highs.

So what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? Google parentAlphabet(GOOGL),CarMax(KMX),Regal Beloit(RBC),Westlake Chemical(WLK) andApplied Materials(AMAT) are prime candidates.\nSince the coronavirus bear market, stocks rebounded powerfully. The strong action reflects rising confidence that the economy will eventually recover from the coronavirus. The stock market has managed to get back on track after a brief correction, when when the major indexes all dipped below their50-day moving averages.\nNow is a good time to get back into the market, but caution should be exercised. While the market uptrend has resumed, the stock market hasjust had a modestly down week. The Nasdaq essentially remains in a corrections, below its 50-day line with highly valued growth names still significantly damaged. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 are holding above this key technical benchmark, but were pushed lower.\nThe coronavirus pandemic remains a concern, though new coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and even deaths are falling sharply. President Joe Biden has signed the $1.9 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill. But while it provides aid to many Americans, there are concerns among some economists it could lead to inflation.\nFed Chairman Jerome Powell has saidthat the central bank is committed to an \"all-in\" approach as it tries to nurse the economy back to health.\nSo why do the stocks chosen stand out? Before turning to that question, it is important to consider how one goes about choosing a stock in the first place. Superior fundamentals and technical action, and buying at the right time, are all part of a shrewd investing formula.\nBest Stocks To Buy: The Crucial Ingredients\nRemember, there are thousands of stocks trading on the NYSE and Nasdaq. But you want to find the very best stocks right now to generate massive gains.\nTheCAN SLIM systemoffers clear guidelines on what you should be looking for. Invest in stocks with recent quarterly and annual earnings growth of at least 25%. Look for companies that have new, game-changing products and services. Also consider not-yet-profitable companies, often recent IPOs, that are generating tremendous revenue growth.\nIBD'sCAN SLIM Investing Systemhas a proven track record of significantly outperforming the S&P 500. Outdoing this industry benchmark is key to generating exceptional returns over the long term.\nIn addition, keep an eye on supply and demand for the stock itself, focus on leading stocks in top industry groups, and aim for stocks with strong institutional support.\nOnce you have found a stock that fits the criteria, it is then time to turn to stock charts to plot agood entry point. You should wait for a stock toform a base, and then buy once it reaches abuy point, ideally in heavy volume. In many cases, a stock reaches aproper buy pointwhen it breaks above the original high on the left side of the base. More information on what a base is, and how charts can be used to win big on the stock market, can be found here.\nDon't Forget The M When Buying Stocks\nNever forget that theM in CAN SLIM stands for market. Most stocks, even the very best, will tend to follow the market direction. Invest when the stock market is in aconfirmed uptrendand move to cash when the stock market goes into a correction.\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq and the S&P 500 rallied strongly after recent pressure. The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones have recaptured their50-day moving averages, but are meeting resistance. The Nasdaq also briefly traded above this key benchmark, but slipped back below it. Technology and growth stocks are still showing signs of weakness.\nIt is now is a good time to get back into the market and buy fundamentally strong stocks coming out of proper chart bases. But this is no longer the powerful, growth stock rally of 2020.\nThe stocks featured below are potential candidates.\nAs you identify stocks, on a technical basis look for stocks with rising relative strength lines. Stocks that hold up amid tough conditions often bound to new highs once a market stabilizes.\nRemember, things can quickly change when it comes to the stock market. Make sure you don't miss out on a rally by keeping a close eye on themarket trend page here.\nBest Stocks To Buy Or Watch\nNow let's look at Google stock, CarMax stock, RBC stock, Westlake Chemical stock and AMAT stock in more detail. An important consideration is that these stocks all boast impressive relative strength.\nGoogle Stock\nGoogle parent Alphabet is near abuy pointof 2,145.24, as athree-weeks-tighthas evolved into a flat base, according toMarketSmith chart analysis. The entry is just above the mid-February all-time high.\nGoogle stock has been trading around its 21-day exponential moving average and is just above its 10-week line.\nTherelative strength lineforGOOGL stockis near a record high. This gauges a stock's performance compared to the S&P 500. If Alphabet's RS line spikes again, it will be a sign the stock is ready to push higher still.\nGOOGL stock has a very strong  IBD Composite Rating of 94. That puts it in the top 6% of stocks tracked overall. Earnings are stronger than stock market performance, however. Nevertheless, the stock is up more than 16% so far this year.\nGoogle stock should benefit from a rebound in digital advertising as coronavirus vaccinations expand. Stock buybacks are another bright spot. Cloud computing holds promise, but remains an unprofitable business for Alphabet for now.\nThe tech giant has a Relative Strength Rating of 66. That means it has outperformed 66% of stocks tracked in terms of price performance over the past 12 months.\nIn recent years, Google stock has only slightly outpaced the S&P 500, but that outperformance has picked up in recent months, as its RS line shows. Google has done exceptionally well vs. many tech stocks over the past few weeks.\nEarnings are a key strength, which is highlighted by its EPS Rating of 93 out of a best-possible 99. Howeverearnings have grown by an average of 10%over the past three years, below the 25% sought by CAN SLIM investors.\nLast month the firm reported fourth-quarter earnings and revenue that crushed estimates as its core search advertising business rebounded. EPS grew 29% and revenue 23%, both accelerating for a second straight quarter.\nCloud computing revenue topped views, though high investment prevented it from being a profitable enterprise.\n\"Cloud businesses scale, so revenue/booking trends will matter,\" Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak said in a report to clients.\nAnd while operating margins for the Google cloud computing business came in much lower than analyst estimates, Bank of America analyst Justin Post was upbeat.\n\"We think new cloud disclosure suggests optimism on margin trajectory, and we see a potential $10 billion profit improvement over the next five years using Amazon margins as a target,\" Post said in a research note.\nAnalysts expect Google earnings to swell 32% in 2021 and 17% in 2022.\nCarMax Stock\nCarMax stock is in buy zone after breaking out of aflat base. The ideal entry point is 128.68, according to MarketSmith analysis.\nThe used car dealer chain is currently well clear of its50-day moving average, which is a bullish sign.\nIn addition, therelative strength linefor CarMax stock is looking mighty. It is sitting near all-time highs on its weekly chart, and has been trending upwards since early January. The stock is up more around 40% so far this year.\nKMX stock has a strong, but not ideal, IBD Composite Rating of 87. Earnings are the standout strength for KMX stock, with itsEPS Rating coming in at 90 out of 99.\nIt has been affected by the initial coronavirus lockdowns, butEPS roared back to 37% growth in the most recent quarter. Earnings have accelerated for the past two quarters.\nAnalysts see earnings falling 16% in 2021, before roaring back with growth of 27% in 2022.\nBig money is piling in, with its Accumulation/Distribution Rating coming in at B. This represents moderate buying over the past 13 weeks. In total, 57% of its stock is held by funds.\nCarMax operates used car stores in more than 70 metropolitan markets. It is a recentIBD Stock Of The Day.\nCarMax's network of 220 stores nationwide sold more than 830,000 used cars in its last financial year. Overall used vehicle sales are expected to rise 2.9% in 2021 to 39.3 million, according to Cox Automotive.\nFor Q3, it reported more than 50% of customers chose to advance their transaction online. It has expanded in home delivery and contactless curbside pickup, tapping new avenues of growth.\n\"We are on track for most of our customers to have the ability to buy vehicle online independently if they choose by the middle of next fiscal year,\" CEO Bill Nash said on an earnings call last December.\nMeanwhile, more consumers moved to the used car market during the pandemic. At the same time, used car prices rose on a combination of factors.\nThe pandemic strained Americans' wallets, forcing consumers to hold on to old cars longer and making fewer used cars available for sale. People also sought to avoid mass transportation. Rising new car prices, partly due to limited supply, also turned more shoppers to the used market.\nRBC Stock\nRBC stock has slipped below its buy zone after breaking out of acup base. The ideal buy point here is 147.07. Investors will want to see the stock show some strength here, rather than dipping lower.\nThe relative strength line has more than recovered after a brief pullback, and is juts off highs. It has been on the charge since mid-February.\nThe recent excellent performance of RBC stock has seen it make its way onto the highly prestigiousLeaderboard listof top growth stocks.\nIt has a strong, but not ideal, Composite Rating of 84 out of 99.

Bazinet's price forecast thus represents potential losses for shareholders of roughly 85% from the stock's current price near $13.</p>\n<p>Bazinet acknowledged that AMC's efforts to raise cash via stock and debt sales have made it likely that it will survive the coronavirus pandemic.

He sees AMC's stock plunging to $2 per share. Bazinet's price forecast thus represents potential losses for shareholders of roughly 85% from the stock's current price near $13.\nBazinet acknowledged that AMC's efforts to raise cash via stock and debt sales have made it likely that it will survive the coronavirus pandemic.

However, Bazinet argued that AMC's stock is \"overvalued at prevailing levels.\"\nNow what\nTo Bazinet's point, it's difficult to make the case that AMC's stock price is justified by thefundamental valueof its business.

In June 2020,I used a simple graph to illustratehow the Menlo Park-based company had likely peaked, both from a business fundamentals and stock perspectives.</p>\n<p>Maybe a coincidence, shares reached a top of over $300 apiece only two months later, and never saw all-time highs again. Nearly half a year later, the stock is still 13% in the hole.</p>\n<p>Now, let’s see what Facebook experts have been saying about the investment opportunity here. Below is a snapshot, followed by a deeper dive into the bull and bear cases on the social media stock.</p>\n<p><b>Raging bulls</b></p>\n<p>The table below shows that Wall Street analysts do not share my skepticism whatsoever.</p>\n<p>Of the 33 analysts tracked byStock Rover, 30 rate Facebook a “strong buy”. Even better, consensus price target of roughly $328 per share points at upside potential of nearly 24% – a better opportunity than what Apple and Microsoft could provide, according to Wall Street.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0d16ef18178ddad44e28b66229a55ae0\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"690\"><b>What Facebook bulls say</b></p>\n<p>The bull case on Facebook tends to follow one common theme: growth at a reasonable price, what some refer to by the acronym “GARP”.</p>\n<p>Jefferies analyst Brent Hillseems to likeeverything: the ad industry in general, Facebook specifically and valuations. He is “increasingly positive on the digital ad industry amid the recent pullback in the group, [and notes] that digital ad players should benefit from a further return of ad spending in 2021”.</p>\n<p>The analyst’s argument in favor of Facebook goes further. Brent sees the stock trading at a 40% discount to the Nasdaq, which seems inconsistent with Facebook’s revenue growth that he estimates will accelerate from 22% last year to 26% in 2021.</p>\n<p>Alan Gould, from Loop Capital,hitson some of the same points. He believes “that the strong momentum across digital advertising platforms should continue into the New Year”. The analyst increased his price target to $370 recently, thinking that Facebook’s earnings deserve a higher valuation multiple – although he did so in February, before the tech space fell victim to a recent selloff.</p>\n<p>Lastly, Alan squashes one argument that is often used by Facebook bears. In his opinion, a Big Tech “witch hunt” (read: governments’ antitrust actions) that leads to the social media company breaking up would be accretive to shareholders. In other words, the analyst thinks that the individual parts (Facebook proper, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger) could be worth more than the conglomerate.</p>\n<p><b>The flip side of the argument</b></p>\n<p>While not a single analyst currently thinks that Facebook is a stock to sell, Needham’s Lauren Martin is among the most cautious experts out there. She, alongside one of her sell-side peers, has a “hold” rating on the shares.</p>\n<p>Lauren makes a good point about the Facebook vs. Apple battle overthe Cupertino company’s new data privacy rules. As a refresher, Apple will start giving iOS users the option to share (or not) their personal information to the likes of Facebook to be used in personalized ads.</p>\n<p>What the analystsayssounds more like a warning than a firm bearish case – but one that I believe Facebook investors should pay attention to: “as soon as iPhone owners can opt out of advertising via the new iOS 14 permissions, they will”.</p>\n<p>I would add one last bearish argument to the mix. Facebook is at the center of heated debates over user data privacy and the spread of malicious content. In addition to reputation risk, the company is faced with increased costs needed to deal with the issues, which I think can be a problem for the bottom line.</p>\n<p><b>Twitter speaks</b></p>\n<p>I asked readers the question: would you invest in Facebook stock at current levels? Here are their responses.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6462a0b0f625b2963ef561331e6931a5\" tg-width=\"579\" tg-height=\"492\"><b>Explore more data and graphs</b></p>\n<p>The table used in this reportwere provided by Stock Rover.

In June 2020,I used a simple graph to illustratehow the Menlo Park-based company had likely peaked, both from a business fundamentals and stock perspectives.\nMaybe a coincidence, shares reached a top of over $300 apiece only two months later, and never saw all-time highs again. Nearly half a year later, the stock is still 13% in the hole.\nNow, let’s see what Facebook experts have been saying about the investment opportunity here. Below is a snapshot, followed by a deeper dive into the bull and bear cases on the social media stock.\nRaging bulls\nThe table below shows that Wall Street analysts do not share my skepticism whatsoever.\nOf the 33 analysts tracked byStock Rover, 30 rate Facebook a “strong buy”. Even better, consensus price target of roughly $328 per share points at upside potential of nearly 24% – a better opportunity than what Apple and Microsoft could provide, according to Wall Street.\nWhat Facebook bulls say\nThe bull case on Facebook tends to follow one common theme: growth at a reasonable price, what some refer to by the acronym “GARP”.\nJefferies analyst Brent Hillseems to likeeverything: the ad industry in general, Facebook specifically and valuations. He is “increasingly positive on the digital ad industry amid the recent pullback in the group, [and notes] that digital ad players should benefit from a further return of ad spending in 2021”.\nThe analyst’s argument in favor of Facebook goes further. Brent sees the stock trading at a 40% discount to the Nasdaq, which seems inconsistent with Facebook’s revenue growth that he estimates will accelerate from 22% last year to 26% in 2021.\nAlan Gould, from Loop Capital,hitson some of the same points. He believes “that the strong momentum across digital advertising platforms should continue into the New Year”. The analyst increased his price target to $370 recently, thinking that Facebook’s earnings deserve a higher valuation multiple – although he did so in February, before the tech space fell victim to a recent selloff.\nLastly, Alan squashes one argument that is often used by Facebook bears. In his opinion, a Big Tech “witch hunt” (read: governments’ antitrust actions) that leads to the social media company breaking up would be accretive to shareholders. In other words, the analyst thinks that the individual parts (Facebook proper, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger) could be worth more than the conglomerate.\nThe flip side of the argument\nWhile not a single analyst currently thinks that Facebook is a stock to sell, Needham’s Lauren Martin is among the most cautious experts out there. She, alongside one of her sell-side peers, has a “hold” rating on the shares.\nLauren makes a good point about the Facebook vs. Apple battle overthe Cupertino company’s new data privacy rules. As a refresher, Apple will start giving iOS users the option to share (or not) their personal information to the likes of Facebook to be used in personalized ads.\nWhat the analystsayssounds more like a warning than a firm bearish case – but one that I believe Facebook investors should pay attention to: “as soon as iPhone owners can opt out of advertising via the new iOS 14 permissions, they will”.\nI would add one last bearish argument to the mix. Facebook is at the center of heated debates over user data privacy and the spread of malicious content. In addition to reputation risk, the company is faced with increased costs needed to deal with the issues, which I think can be a problem for the bottom line.\nTwitter speaks\nI asked readers the question: would you invest in Facebook stock at current levels? Here are their responses.\nExplore more data and graphs\nThe table used in this reportwere provided by Stock Rover.

It’s the biggest gaming acquisition in Microsoft’s history, eclipsing the $2.5 billion the firm paid to buy Minecraft developer Mojang in 2014.\nThe Bethesda deal’s completion comes days after the European Union and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission gave the takeover their blessing. Bethesda is a household name in gaming. It’s published a number of hit franchises including the role-playing game series Fallout and The Elder Scrolls, and the Doom shooter franchise.\nIn a blog postTuesday, Microsoft confirmed rumors that some new Bethesda games would be exclusive to its Xbox console and Windows PCs.\n“With the addition of the Bethesda creative teams, gamers should know that Xbox consoles, PC, and Game Pass will be the best place to experience new Bethesda games, including some new titles in the future that will be exclusive to Xbox and PC players,” said Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft’s Xbox unit.\nSuch a move would ramp up Microsoft’s competition withSony. Both firms debuted their next-generation consoles last year, hoping to lure in gamers with the promise of big improvements on the older systems.\nMicrosoft took a different approach to Sony though, heavily marketing its Xbox Game Pass subscription service which offers players access to a library of games. Sony, on the other hand, is touting new PlayStation exclusives to attract gamers.\nWith Bethesda, Microsoft is hoping to build out Xbox Game Pass by including the Rockville, Maryland-based studio’s catalog of titles. But it also aims to convince people to play on its Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S platforms and PCs, rather than Sony’s new PlayStation 5.\nMicrosoft has often been seen as lagging behind Sony when it comes to major first-party releases. Xbox Game Studios’ highly anticipated new Halo game, Halo Infinite, was delayed until later this year after a backlash over quality issues in a reveal of the game.\nGaming has been a key beneficiary from the coronavirus pandemic as people have been spending more of their time at home. Major publishers like Microsoft’s Xbox Game Studios and Electronic Arts have looked to capitalize on that trend by using their huge cash piles to snap up smaller game developers.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":169,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":325146126,"gmtCreate":1615881236765,"gmtModify":1704787845392,"author":{"id":"3577175332033659","authorId":"3577175332033659","name":"meepmeep","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d271637fdd65cb96a55511720d2d85fe","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577175332033659","authorIdStr":"3577175332033659"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great","listText":"Great","text":"Great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/325146126","repostId":"1140662053","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1140662053","pubTimestamp":1615881212,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1140662053?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-16 15:53","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Confrontation is brewing over Apple's new privacy changes","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1140662053","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Starting in the early spring, a feature dubbed \"App Tracking Transparency\" will be rolled in an upda","content":"<p>Starting in the early spring, a feature dubbed \"App Tracking Transparency\" will be rolled in an update for iOS 14,requiring apps that gather tracking data to ask Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL)users for permission. The update was already supposed to arrive in September of last year, but it was delayed following pushback from firms including Facebook(NASDAQ:FB). The new rules also stipulate that if companies use alternatives to the identifier for advertisers, called the IDFA (somewhat analogous to an advertising cookie on the web), their app can be blocked or suspended from the App Store.</p><p><i>Backdrop:</i>Apple has been positioning itself as a protector of digital privacy, hoping to draw users by marketing itself as a privacy-focused company. But many have been angered by the move, like Google (GOOG,GOOGL) and Facebook, whose business models greatly depend on monetizing eyeballs on every possible platform. Apple has been sparring with the companies over data-collection practices,both privately and publicly, with the latter arguing that it will undermine connectivity, as well free services supported by targeted advertising. Apple may also have to justify the billions of dollars a year it receives for making Google the default search engine on Safari, which likely uses the same data-gathering techniques that it has criticized.</p><p><b>How will Apple's new feature work?</b>The next update will create a prompt asking users if they are okay with being tracked while moving from app to app, so their ads can be personalized. Experts think that about 70%-80% of people will say \"No\" to the tracking feature, which could spell trouble for tech companies that make big bucks on targeted advertising. Several other privacy changes will see thenotification LED light upwhen apps are accessing the device's microphone or camera, while users will be able to share specific photos with apps instead of giving them permission to their entire camera roll.</p><p>Some of China's tech giants, like TikTok owner ByteDance (BDNCE) and Tencent(OTCPK:TCEHY), are testing a tool that wouldbypassthe new rules and would be able to continue tracking iPhone users without consent.

The update was already supposed to arrive in September of last year, but it was delayed following pushback from firms including Facebook(NASDAQ:FB). The new rules also stipulate that if companies use alternatives to the identifier for advertisers, called the IDFA (somewhat analogous to an advertising cookie on the web), their app can be blocked or suspended from the App Store.Backdrop:Apple has been positioning itself as a protector of digital privacy, hoping to draw users by marketing itself as a privacy-focused company. But many have been angered by the move, like Google (GOOG,GOOGL) and Facebook, whose business models greatly depend on monetizing eyeballs on every possible platform. Apple has been sparring with the companies over data-collection practices,both privately and publicly, with the latter arguing that it will undermine connectivity, as well free services supported by targeted advertising. Apple may also have to justify the billions of dollars a year it receives for making Google the default search engine on Safari, which likely uses the same data-gathering techniques that it has criticized.How will Apple's new feature work?The next update will create a prompt asking users if they are okay with being tracked while moving from app to app, so their ads can be personalized. Experts think that about 70%-80% of people will say \"No\" to the tracking feature, which could spell trouble for tech companies that make big bucks on targeted advertising. Several other privacy changes will see thenotification LED light upwhen apps are accessing the device's microphone or camera, while users will be able to share specific photos with apps instead of giving them permission to their entire camera roll.Some of China's tech giants, like TikTok owner ByteDance (BDNCE) and Tencent(OTCPK:TCEHY), are testing a tool that wouldbypassthe new rules and would be able to continue tracking iPhone users without consent. It's an area companies are interested in preserving, given the big business that it has generated over the past decade. If firms can get around the privacy prompt, they can continue to track how users take action from one app to another, aggregate the data and then target them with specific advertisements. Will Apple turn a blind eye or will they enforce their rules?","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":443,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":160880355,"gmtCreate":1623779682677,"gmtModify":1703819301403,"author":{"id":"3577175332033659","authorId":"3577175332033659","name":"meepmeep","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d271637fdd65cb96a55511720d2d85fe","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577175332033659","authorIdStr":"3577175332033659"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ooo","listText":"Ooo","text":"Ooo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/160880355","repostId":"1121368819","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1121368819","pubTimestamp":1623769287,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1121368819?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-15 23:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GM-backed Cruise secures $5 billion credit line as it prepares to launch self-driving robotaxis","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1121368819","media":"cnbc","summary":"Cruise, a majority-owned subsidiary of General Motors, has secured a new $5 billion line of credit as it prepares for commercialization of an autonomous ride-hailing business.The new credit is being provided by GM's automotive financing arm to use for the purchase of Cruise's self-driving Origin shuttles.This past month, GM began assembly of 100 pre-production Cruise Origin vehicles that will be built this summer for validation testing.Cruise, a majority-owned subsidiary ofGeneral Motors, has se","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nCruise, a majority-owned subsidiary of General Motors, has secured a new $5 billion line of credit as it prepares for commercialization of an autonomous ride-hailing business.\nThe new ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/15/gm-backed-cruise-secures-5-billion-credit-for-self-driving-robotaxis.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

It brings Cruise's war chest to more than $10 billion, according to Cruise CEO Dan Ammann.\n″$10 billion. It’s a big number. However, when you think about what we’re building - safer, cleaner, and more accessible transportation for the world - you quickly realize it’s also a necessary number,” Ammann said in a blog post. “This is an incredibly exciting time for Cruise.”\nUltimately, GM Finance is providing Cruise credit instead of the company attempting to raise outside capital, which it has done in the past. GM acquired Cruise in 2016. Since then, it has brought on investors such as Honda Motor, SoftBank Vision Fund and, more recently, Walmart and Microsoft.\nThis past month, Cruise said GM began assembly of 100 pre-production Cruise Origin vehicles that will be built this summer for validation testing.\nThe Origin, which wasunveiled in January 2020, is the company’s first vehicle specifically designed to operate without a driver on board. It does not have manual controls such as pedals or a steering wheel.\nThe new credit line and pre-production model announcements follow Cruise earlier this month becoming the first autonomous vehicle developer to obtain a permit from the California Public Utilities Commission to givepassengers rides in prototype robotaxis.\nCommercializing autonomous vehicles has been far more challenging than many predicted even a few years ago. The challenges have led to a consolidation in the autonomous vehicle sector after years of enthusiasm touting the technology as the next multitrillion-dollar market for transportation companies.\nCruise was expected to launch a ride-hailing service for the public in San Francisco in 2019. The company delayed those plans that year to conduct further testing. It has been operating an employee ride-hailing service with a current fleet of autonomous vehicles in San Francisco for several years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":313,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":184172717,"gmtCreate":1623694068839,"gmtModify":1704208922491,"author":{"id":"3577175332033659","authorId":"3577175332033659","name":"meepmeep","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d271637fdd65cb96a55511720d2d85fe","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577175332033659","authorIdStr":"3577175332033659"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/184172717","repostId":"2143780057","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2143780057","pubTimestamp":1623683640,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2143780057?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-14 23:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Crypto Custodian Brane Capital Announces Public Listing Plans","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2143780057","media":"StreetInsider","summary":"OTTAWA, Ontario, June 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Brane Inc., a leading cryptocurrency custodian, annou","content":"<p>OTTAWA, Ontario, June 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Brane Inc., a leading cryptocurrency custodian, announced today that it plans to become a publicly traded company in fall 2021.</p>\n<p>The strategy will advance Brane's intention to become the first made-in-Canada qualified custodian for digital assets, providing Canadian financial institutions and investors with a domestic, industry-leading custody solution in a space currently dominated by a single U.S. company.</p>\n<p>Brane has signed a letter of intent with Timeless Capital Corp., a capital pool company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, for a reverse takeover transaction that will result in Brane's public listing on the Exchange, subject to regulatory approvals.</p>\n<p>Timeless Capital Corp's release on the transaction can be found here.</p>\n<p>\"Becoming a public company will be another significant step in our mission of bringing a truly Canadian, regulatory compliant custody solution to the world's new asset class.

We have a strong working relationship with the team at Timeless Capital Corp., and we look forward to a long and productive future together,\" said Adam Miron, Brane's Chairman and Interim CEO. Miron is co-founder of HEXO Corp., which debuted its first public listing on the TSX Venture before listing on the TSX and NYSE with continued high trading volumes. \"Make no mistake: we consider it unacceptable that Canadian investors and institutions are forced to rely on a single US custodian, which also operates an exchange, for their crypto assets. Brane's public listing is our next step to changing that for good.\"\nBrane's board of directors will remain the same, including Ontario's 24th Premier, Dalton McGuinty, and Dave Revell, former Global Chief Information Officer and EVP at CIBC, and the recent addition of Sheldon Bennett, CEO of DMG Blockchain Solutions.\n\"Our go-public transaction will provide Brane with the capital to execute an aggressive global acquisition and expansion strategy, further strengthening our world-class offering while maintaining our relentless focus on independent, unconflicted crypto custody,\" said Jerome Dwight, Brane's President and the former CEO of Bank of New York Mellon Canada, part of the world's largest custody bank. \"We believe strongly that crypto custodians should be unconflicted and independent of any exchange or trading platform. Brane's independence, cutting-edge technology, strong regulatory compliance systems, and experienced leadership team position us to lead the industry as mainstream adoption of crypto assets gathers momentum.\"\nFor more information:\nAdam MironInterim-CEO & ChairmanBrane Capital613-986-2422 312008@email4pr.com\nFounded in 2017, Brane is a blockchain innovation company.

Some market participants believe it’s still too soon for the central bank to signal such a tapering action, while others think the Fed will be able to find a happy medium that won’t upset the markets.\nEach scenario has different investing implications as they are expected to make big moves across asset classes.\nHere’s a playbook for traders on every scenario from the central bank’s key meeting.\nIf the Fed signals it’s staying with easy policies\nThe Fed could reiterate its transitory stance on inflation, ignoring the pick-up in price pressures reflected in recent economic data. If the central bank says its not time to remove accommodative policies and it’s not concerned about inflation, investors should stick with hedges against rising prices like commodities and stocks with high pricing power, investment banks found.\nBank of America screened S&P 500 companies that its analysts believe have the most pricing power and ability to expand margins at times of rising prices. The stocks include a few chipmakers —Nvidia,Texas InstrumentsandBroadcom— as well as consumer plays likeHome Depot,NikeandPepsiCo.Energy dividend payerExxon Mobilis also on the list.\nUBS also developed a framework for scoring corporate pricing agility, which considers pricing power, margin momentum and input cost exposure. For pricing power, UBS quantified the extent to which a company can raise prices over and above costs. For margin momentum, UBS tracked corporate pricing trends using its proprietary pricing mapping.\nFor input cost exposure, UBS searched for companies with negative sentiment around commodity and transport costs on earnings calls.\n\nBillionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones said earlier this week that investors should “go all in on the inflation trades” if the Fed keeps ignoring higher prices.\n“If they treat these numbers — which were material events, they were very material —if they treat them with nonchalance, I think it’s just a green light to bet heavily on every inflation trade,” Tudor Jones said on “Squawk Box”on Monday.\n“If they say, ‘We’re on path, things are good,’ then I would just go all in on the inflation trades. I’d probably buy commodities, buy crypto, buy gold,” added Tudor Jones, who called the stock market crash in 1987.\nThe legendary investor believe cryptocurrencies and other commodities are favorable inflation hedges. Other than buying the commodities outright, investors could also bet on related exchange-traded funds, like gold miner ETFs.\nThe VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX),the biggest gold miner ETF with more than $14 billion in assets under management, has outperformed the populargold ETF GLDso far this year.\nIf the Fed signals it’s time to start removing easy policies\nAnother widely speculated scenario is for the Fed to signal that it’s nearing the time to dial back easy policy saying it will start tapering soon and move up its forecast for a rate increase. Under such a case where the central bank isn’t sufficiently dovish, many expect bond yields to shoot higher.\n“It could easily move longer yields higher,” said Kristina Hooper, Invesco’s chief global market strategist. “A revised dot plot could be one way to do that if it shows the anticipation of earlier or more aggressive rate hikes. And Fed Chair Jay Powell could easily push rates up if he shares that the Fed has started discussing tapering or suggests tapering could start in the next several months.”\nTudor Jones warned that this scenario could lead to another taper tantrum that could cause a correction in stocks.\n“If they course correct, if they say, ‘We’ve got incoming data, we’ve accomplished our mission or we’re on the way very rapidly to accomplishing our mission on employment,’ then you’re going to get a taper tantrum,”Tudor Jones said on Monday. “You’re going to get a sell-off in fixed income. You’re going to get a correction in stocks.”\nCNBC Pro combed through the returns of all S&P 500 stocks during the last five significant spikes in the 10-year Treasury yield. These five periods of a sharp move in rates occurred between 2003 and 2006, 2008 and 2009, 2012 and 2013, 2016 and 2018, and 2020 through now.\nAfter we found the stocks that beat the market every time, we looked for the names that are well-loved by analysts on Wall Street today. The stocks’ average gains during those rising interest rate periods are listed below, along with the percentage of analysts with buy ratings right now.\n\nBank of America’s head of U.S. equity and quantitative strategy Savita Subramanian is advising clients to buy high-quality stocks when tapering nears. High-quality stocks have a “B+” or better S&P quality rating.\nSubramanian said during the 2013 taper tantrum, high-quality names outperformed their low-quality counterparts by 1.3 percentage points from peak to trough in May and June.\nA hint at removing stimulus could also hurt stocks that are most sensitive to the economic recovery, including cyclicals like financials, energy and materials.\n“More hawkish = lower growth. Cyclicals should underperform,” Dennis DeBusschere, macro research analyst at Evercore ISI, said in a note. “The fact that hawkish concerns are being brought up at the same time people believe the reflation trade is in trouble and you have a poor Cyclical backdrop.”\nSo far in 2021, the energy sector has been the biggest winner among the 11 S&P 500 groupings, up 46%. Financials and real estate both gained more than 20% this year.\nIf the Fed makes both camps happy\nA third scenario could occur in which the Fed signals that it is concerned about inflation, but the central bank is not yet ready to taper.\nIf Fed chair Jerome Powell admits the discussion of tapering but nothing has been decided, then the market will likely see a modest rally, led by tech stocks, according to Tom Essaye, founder of the Sevens Report.\n“This is essentially the outcome that Powell and the Fed have been telegraphing for the past several weeks,” Essaye said. “This would be a continuation of the past two weeks’ Goldilocks market outlook. This outcome would help the S&P 500 extend last week’s breakout.”\nInvestors have been rotating back to tech as of late with bond yields coming down. The tech-heavyNasdaq Compositehas rallied about 2.5% this month, hitting a record close on Monday, its first all-time high since April 26. In comparison, the S&P 500 has risen just under 1% in June.\n“This is what the Fed has been doing for the last several months — warning that an inflation surge was coming but that it is transitory so no need to taper,” Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at the Leuthold Group, told CNBC. “Moreover, this is probably the most expected outcome from the Fed meeting.”\n“Yes, there may be comments by members that the time to start talking about tapering is here, but I think Powell will continue to suggest that inflation is up as expected but is not yet acting any differently than anticipated,” added Paulsen.\nThis year’s pullback in tech stocks has opened some opportunities in high-quality names that are now trading at a discount, according to top-rated technology analyst Toni Sacconaghi of Bernstein.\nThe Wall Street firm found several technology stocks that have inexpensive valuations and are high in quality. Bernstein screened for the cheapest tech names based on their forward price-to-earnings ratio.

What sets Coursera apart is its symbiotic relationship with established universities. Instead of trying to disrupt the higher education industry, Coursera is attempting to work with them to reimagine what higher education and professional courses should look like in a digital world.</p><p>That strategy seems to be working. Coursera has more than77 million students, more than most of its rivals. The company’sCoursera for Campusattracted 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world. At the end of 2020, 130 of these institutions were premium subscribers. 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies are alsopaying for Coursera’s enterprise offerings.</p><p>Unsurprisingly, that traction is reflected on the top line. In 2020, Coursera generated $293 million in revenue, up 59% from the previous year. Year-on-year user growth came in at 65%. However, the company extended free courses and features throughout the pandemic to gin up traffic. That led to higher costs and a loss of $66.8 million in 2020, up from $46.7 million in 2019. Free cash flow was -$26.9 million over the course of the year.</p><p>Coursera doesn’t expect to become cash flow positive or profitable anytime soon. In fact, theS-1 clearly statesthat the company “had an accumulated deficit of $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020,” and that they anticipate that the company “will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.”</p><p>The reopening is another risk. With students heading back to the campus this fall, it’s difficult to say if Coursera can sustain last year’s momentum and keep students and universities engaged on its platform.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2765e424ebb38bf8c4fdf74bcb5d0086\" tg-width=\"605\" tg-height=\"270\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Coursera product tiers</span></p><p>Nevertheless, the company’s partnerships with government agencies, library of content from top universities, enterprise training products and micro-certification courses could help it bolster growth over time. Online learning already was a rapidly-growing market pre-pandemic. Some estimates suggest the marketcould be worth $350 billionby 2025. Coursera was last valued at $2.5 billion.</p><p>It could be worth a lot more when the IPO is completed. One early investor is certainly expecting a windfall: SuRo Capital(NASDAQ:SSSS).</p><p><b>Operating Results</b></p><p>The company earned $293 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, up 59% from 2019. Net losses widened by about $20 million year-on-year, reaching $66.8 million in 2020. Revenues shot up as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic’s effect on traditional education. In tandem with rising demand, operating costs associated with the company’s services rose, largely driven by the freemium content and marketing expenses. Coursera added over 12,000 new degree learners across the two years ended December 31, 2020 at an average acquisition cost of just below $2,000. The number of registered users rose by 65% year-on-year in 2020. Coursera’s accumulated deficit since its founding stood at $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The company does not expect to turn a profit in the foreseeable future.</p><p>The company’sCoursera for Campus,launched in late 2019to enable colleges to offer its library of MOOCs to their students, has been a key driver of recent revenue growth. At the start of the pandemic, Coursera made the program free to tertiary institutions until Sept. 30, 2020. Over 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world signed up for the program, which, according to the company’s S-1 filing, makes it, “one of our fastest growing offerings”. As of December 31, 2020, over 130 tertiary institutions were paying for it.</p><p>At this point, it is hard to predict what the end of the pandemic would have on the company’s operating results.</p><p><b>SuRo Capital - Coursera’s Proxy</b></p><p>San Francisco-based SuRo Capital is a business development company focused on tech startups and innovative private companies. SuRo’s portfolio is heavily concentrated in preferred shares of noteworthy tech startups such asCourseHero,Rent the Runway,Nextdoor,Blink HealthandForge Global.</p><p>The largest and most noteworthy position in their portfolio is a $94 million stake in Palantir Technologies(NYSE:PLTR). In fact, my first article on the company was publishedjust before Palantir’s IPO. Over the past 12 months, the stock is up 281%, which means it outperformed the most talked about tech ETF of the year - Ark Innovation ETF(NYSEARCA:ARKK).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/803c42a2fe2b33ae60db98bb236a638e\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"852\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Now, Palantir accounts for 31.4% of SuRo’s portfolio. Coursera is the second-largest holding. Accounting for 17.6% of the portfolio, SuRo reported the fair value of its stake at $53.2 million recently. It’s worth noting that SuRo holds this stake in preferred shares paying out 8% a year in dividends. These preferred shares should be worth a lot more when the company lists publicly. Analysts estimate Coursera could be worth as much as$5 billion, which is roughly double its valuation from 2020.</p><p>At that price, Coursera would become SuRo’s largest holding, adding roughly $50 million to the company’s book value.</p><p>Altogether,SuRo’s portfolio is worth $430 million. Meanwhile, the company’s market capitalization is $274 million. If the Coursera IPO is as successful as some of the other major tech IPOs we’ve witnessed this year, this discount to fair value could broaden further.</p><p><b>The Strategy and Market Opportunity</b></p><p>Coursera is one of the most disruptive firms in the world. It has a flywheel approach to value creation, with significant price-to-cost advantages versus its competition. The company reported that about half of its new degree students in 2020 had been previously registered with Coursera and that its average student acquisition cost was less than $2,000. Its average student acquisition cost is lower than the industry standard. The edu-tech platform is able to efficiently acquire learners at scale because of the huge number of free, high-quality courses that it offers in partnership with top educational institutions and corporations; its ability to personalize content based on its wealth of data; the strength of word-of-mouth promotion by learners; the profitability of its affiliate paid marketing channel.</p><p>The platform offers a number of education tracks, for example:</p><ul><li>Specializations: A learner can pay between $39 and $99 a month for job-specific content across over 500 categories.</li><li>MasterTrack Certificates: For a quarter to a year, a learner can earn a certificate issued by a university-issued certificate. Prices range from $2,000 to $6,000.</li><li>Bachelor’s or Master’s Degrees: Fees range from $9,000 to $45,000.</li><li>Coursera for Enterprise: Through this platform, businesses, educational institutions and governments can deploy content to their learners.</li></ul><p>In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Coursera partnered with over 330 government agencies across 30 U.S. states and cities and 70 countries as part of itsCoursera Workforce Recovery Initiative, which gave governments the chance to offer unemployed workers free access to thousands of business, data science, and technology courses from companies such as Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL).</p><p>The company has 77 million registered learners, as well as over 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies who paid for its enterprise offerings. The majority of its revenue (51%) was earned outside of the United States. Converting only a fraction of its 77 million registered users into paid users would change the economics of customer acquisition. The company’s present scale is a huge competitive advantage in the market.</p><p>A learner’s curriculum is designed to be “stackable”, which is to say that a learner can go through a domain in an incremental fashion. The company is able to leverage the huge volume of data it has accumulated from its over 220 million enrollments to personalize content. So, for example, Coursera’s Skills Graphs can suggest paths for job skills.</p><p>Coursera uses technology to drive down distribution costs, make content more affordable, extend access to less economically-endowed regions, help learners keep abreast of emerging skills, and grow its market opportunity. The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated secular trends towards the use of technology in education.</p><p>The size of the addressable market is massive and it’s easy to see why.An August 2020 study by the United Nationsdemonstrates the degree of disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic: of the 1.6 billion students in 190 countries covered in the report, or 94% of the world’s students, were prevented from going to school because of Covid-19 pandemic related school closures.</p><p>In 2017, the World Bank indicated thatof the 200 million college students in the world, many do not have job-specific skills.</p><p>The Covid-19 pandemic and prior secular trends suggest that the future of education is in blended classrooms, job-specific education and continuous, lifelong education. Online learning platforms like Coursera will be the primary means through which educational content is delivered.</p><p>Globally, spending on higher education in 2019 was $2.2 trillion,according to HolonIQ. Spending on online degrees was $36 billion and is predicted to reach $74 billion by 2025.</p><p>With a huge, existing learner base; a strong brand; and the significant advantages detailed above, Coursera is likely to grab a significant amount of the market’s growth. Of thescenarios for the future of education, it seems that Coursera will continue to grow.</p><p>Risks</p><p>Coursera's S-1 lists several potential risks that investors should be aware of. However, I believe some are more noteworthy than others and Coursera may have missed some key risks.</p><p>Competition, for one, is something the team could have elaborated on further. Coursera is far from the only online education provider. In fact, many of its rivals including Skillshare, Gumroad, Khan Academy and Udemy have more recognizable brands.</p><p>Khan Academy is particularly noteworthy because many of the courses it offers are free. That, in my opinion, is another key risk for Coursera and perhaps the entire EdTech space. While higher education is a luxury service in North America, it's free in places like Germany. Much of the world would prefer a low-cost or free model to develop talent and plug the skills gap. College in India, for instance, costs$5,000 a year on average. Coursera isn't profitable at its current average pricing of $9,000 to $25,000 per degree course. Lower costs in the rest of the world could make profitability a bigger challenge.</p><p>Coursera could potentially overcome these challenges by recruiting lower-cost education providers in emerging markets, convincing students to pay a premium and differentiating its courses by partnering with elite universities and recruitment channels.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>Coursera seems poised to meet the challenges of a changing education landscape. With its vast, existing user base, its flywheel model, its competitive advantages, and its existence in a huge and growing addressable market, the company is likely to do very well. The company’s value proposition is compelling. However, long run success does not equate to a good investment in the short run. An unprofitable company like Coursera is likely to be very volatile on the markets until it reaches profitability. It is better to wait for Coursera to turn a profit before investing in the company.</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>Coursera opens for trading at $40, up 21.21% from IPO price</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\">\nCoursera opens for trading at $40, up 21.21% from IPO price\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-01 00:14 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/news/3677898-online-learning-platform-coursera-seeks-to-raise-484m-in-ipo><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>(March 31) Coursera opens for trading at $40, up 21.21% from IPO price.

The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated secular trends towards the use of technology in education.The size of the addressable market is massive and it’s easy to see why.An August 2020 study by the United Nationsdemonstrates the degree of disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic: of the 1.6 billion students in 190 countries covered in the report, or 94% of the world’s students, were prevented from going to school because of Covid-19 pandemic related school closures.In 2017, the World Bank indicated thatof the 200 million college students in the world, many do not have job-specific skills.The Covid-19 pandemic and prior secular trends suggest that the future of education is in blended classrooms, job-specific education and continuous, lifelong education. Online learning platforms like Coursera will be the primary means through which educational content is delivered.Globally, spending on higher education in 2019 was $2.2 trillion,according to HolonIQ. Spending on online degrees was $36 billion and is predicted to reach $74 billion by 2025.With a huge, existing learner base; a strong brand; and the significant advantages detailed above, Coursera is likely to grab a significant amount of the market’s growth. Of thescenarios for the future of education, it seems that Coursera will continue to grow.RisksCoursera's S-1 lists several potential risks that investors should be aware of. However, I believe some are more noteworthy than others and Coursera may have missed some key risks.Competition, for one, is something the team could have elaborated on further. Coursera is far from the only online education provider. In fact, many of its rivals including Skillshare, Gumroad, Khan Academy and Udemy have more recognizable brands.Khan Academy is particularly noteworthy because many of the courses it offers are free. That, in my opinion, is another key risk for Coursera and perhaps the entire EdTech space. While higher education is a luxury service in North America, it's free in places like Germany. Much of the world would prefer a low-cost or free model to develop talent and plug the skills gap. College in India, for instance, costs$5,000 a year on average. Coursera isn't profitable at its current average pricing of $9,000 to $25,000 per degree course. Lower costs in the rest of the world could make profitability a bigger challenge.Coursera could potentially overcome these challenges by recruiting lower-cost education providers in emerging markets, convincing students to pay a premium and differentiating its courses by partnering with elite universities and recruitment channels.ConclusionCoursera seems poised to meet the challenges of a changing education landscape. With its vast, existing user base, its flywheel model, its competitive advantages, and its existence in a huge and growing addressable market, the company is likely to do very well. The company’s value proposition is compelling. However, long run success does not equate to a good investment in the short run. An unprofitable company like Coursera is likely to be very volatile on the markets until it reaches profitability. It is better to wait for Coursera to turn a profit before investing in the company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":209,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":351307365,"gmtCreate":1616560082557,"gmtModify":1704795660383,"author":{"id":"3577175332033659","authorId":"3577175332033659","name":"meepmeep","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d271637fdd65cb96a55511720d2d85fe","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577175332033659","authorIdStr":"3577175332033659"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/351307365","repostId":"1114012318","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1114012318","pubTimestamp":1616556732,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1114012318?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-24 11:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"These Are The 5 Best Stocks To Buy And Watch Now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1114012318","media":"investors","summary":"Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard","content":"<p>Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard.

An important consideration is that these stocks all boast impressive relative strength.</p>\n<p>Google Stock</p>\n<p>Google parent Alphabet is near abuy pointof 2,145.24, as athree-weeks-tighthas evolved into a flat base, according toMarketSmith chart analysis. The entry is just above the mid-February all-time high.</p>\n<p>Google stock has been trading around its 21-day exponential moving average and is just above its 10-week line.</p>\n<p>Therelative strength lineforGOOGL stockis near a record high. This gauges a stock's performance compared to the S&amp;P 500. If Alphabet's RS line spikes again, it will be a sign the stock is ready to push higher still.</p>\n<p>GOOGL stock has a very strong&nbsp; IBD Composite Rating of 94. That puts it in the top 6% of stocks tracked overall. Earnings are stronger than stock market performance, however. Nevertheless, the stock is up more than 16% so far this year.</p>\n<p>Google stock&nbsp;should benefit from a rebound in digital advertising as coronavirus vaccinations expand. Stock buybacks are another bright spot. Cloud computing holds promise, but remains an unprofitable business for Alphabet for now.</p>\n<p>The tech giant has a Relative Strength Rating of 66. That means it has outperformed 66% of stocks tracked in terms of price performance over the past 12 months.</p>\n<p>In recent years, Google stock has only slightly outpaced the S&amp;P 500, but that outperformance has picked up in recent months, as its RS line shows. Google has done exceptionally well vs. many tech stocks over the past few weeks.</p>\n<p>Earnings are a key strength, which is highlighted by its EPS Rating of 93 out of a best-possible 99. Howeverearnings have grown by an average of 10%over the past three years, below the 25% sought by CAN SLIM investors.</p>\n<p>Last month the firm reported fourth-quarter earnings and revenue that crushed estimates as its core search advertising business rebounded. EPS grew 29% and revenue 23%, both accelerating for a second straight quarter.</p>\n<p>Cloud computing revenue topped views, though high investment prevented it from being a profitable enterprise.</p>\n<p>\"Cloud businesses scale, so revenue/booking trends will matter,\" Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak said in a report to clients.</p>\n<p>And while operating margins for the Google cloud computing business came in much lower than analyst estimates, Bank of America analyst Justin Post was upbeat.</p>\n<p>\"We think new cloud disclosure suggests optimism on margin trajectory, and we see a potential $10 billion profit improvement over the next five years using Amazon margins as a target,\" Post said in a research note.</p>\n<p>Analysts expect Google earnings to swell 32% in 2021 and 17% in 2022.</p>\n<p>CarMax Stock</p>\n<p>CarMax stock is in buy zone after breaking out of aflat base. The ideal&nbsp;entry point is 128.68, according to&nbsp;MarketSmith analysis.</p>\n<p>The used car dealer chain is currently well clear of its50-day moving average, which is a bullish sign.</p>\n<p>In addition, therelative strength linefor CarMax stock is looking mighty. It is sitting near all-time highs on its weekly chart, and has been trending upwards since early January. The stock is up more around 40% so far this year.</p>\n<p>KMX stock has a strong, but not ideal,&nbsp;IBD Composite Rating of 87. Earnings are the standout strength for KMX stock, with itsEPS Rating coming in at 90 out of 99.</p>\n<p>It has been affected by the initial coronavirus lockdowns, butEPS roared back to 37% growth&nbsp;in the most recent quarter. Earnings have accelerated for the past two quarters.</p>\n<p>Analysts see earnings falling 16% in 2021, before roaring back with growth of 27% in 2022.</p>\n<p>Big money is piling in, with its&nbsp;Accumulation/Distribution Rating coming in at B. This represents moderate buying over the past 13 weeks. In total, 57% of its stock is held by funds.</p>\n<p>CarMax operates used car stores in more than 70 metropolitan markets. It is a recentIBD Stock Of The Day.</p>\n<p>CarMax's network of 220 stores nationwide sold more than 830,000 used cars in its last financial year. Overall used vehicle sales are expected to rise 2.9% in 2021 to 39.3 million, according to Cox Automotive.</p>\n<p>For Q3, it reported more than 50% of customers chose to advance their transaction online. It has expanded in home delivery and contactless curbside pickup, tapping new avenues of growth.</p>\n<p>\"We are on track for most of our customers to have the ability to buy vehicle online independently if they choose by the middle of next fiscal year,\" CEO Bill Nash said on an earnings call last December.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, more consumers moved to the used car market during the pandemic. At the same time, used car prices rose on a combination of factors.</p>\n<p>The pandemic strained Americans' wallets, forcing consumers to hold on to old cars longer and making fewer used cars available for sale. People also sought to avoid mass transportation. Rising new car prices, partly due to limited supply, also turned more shoppers to the used market.</p>\n<p>RBC Stock</p>\n<p>RBC stock has slipped below its buy zone after breaking out of acup base. The ideal buy point here is 147.07. Investors will want to see the stock show some strength here, rather than dipping lower.</p>\n<p>The relative strength line has more than recovered after a brief pullback, and is juts off highs. It has been on the charge since mid-February.</p>\n<p>The recent excellent performance of RBC stock has seen it make its way onto the highly prestigiousLeaderboard listof top growth stocks.</p>\n<p>It has a strong, but not ideal, Composite Rating of 84 out of 99. It boasts a solid mix of stock market and earnings performance. So far in 2021 the stock has posted a gain of around 16%.</p>\n<p>It has been getting upward earnings revisions of late, with EPS seen rising 24% in 2021, before gaining 12% in 2022.</p>\n<p>Institutions are keen on the stock, with itsAccumulation/Distribution Rating coming in at B+. This represents moderate-to-heavy buying among institutional investors. In total, 64% of its stock is held by funds.</p>\n<p>Wisconsin-based Regal Beloit makes \"motors, bearings, gearing, conveying, blowers, electric components, and couplings,\" according to the company. Its products can be found in farm equipment, pool and spa equipment and commercial HVAC systems. It owns nearly 30 brands including Marathon Motors and Marathon Generators, Browning and Milwaukee Gear.</p>\n<p>Regal earnings jumped 42% to $1.78 a share in the fourth quarter, better than expected and up from a 28% gain in Q3 and 36% decline in Q2. Sales climbed 6% to $780.5 million in Q4, also beating analyst views and returning to growth after several down quarters.</p>\n<p>Last month, the company agreed to buy<b>Rexnord Corp.</b>'s (RNX) bearings, couplings and gears unit with&nbsp;Regal in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction. The deal is expected to close in Q4, pending regulatory approval.</p>\n<p>Regal has also found other ways to expand its business amid Covid-19. Improving air filtration systems have been a major issue during the pandemic. The company has developed a new air treatment system that uses UV light to keep the air free of viruses and bacteria.</p>\n<p>\"We see lots of potential for this product, even beyond Covid-19 as end users become more interested in keeping indoor air free of all kinds of pathogens,\" CEO Louis Pinkham said during last month's Q4 earnings call.</p>\n<p>Westlake Chemical Stock</p>\n<p>Westlake Chemical below its buy zone after clearing a 90.46 buy point. It managed to break out of a first stagecup-with-handle base.It has slipped under its 50-day line, and it is important that it fights back going forward.</p>\n<p>WLK stock previously tested its buy point last week, undercutting it multiple times, at least intraday, before closing Friday at 91.84.</p>\n<p>The relative strength line is sitting around new highs. It has been making progress so far in 2021, gaining around 5%.</p>\n<p>WLK stock was just added toIBD Leaderboard. However investors will be looking to see its earnings improve, as it currently holds a poorEPS Rating of 46.Earnings jumped 47% in the latest quarter, with analysts expected 147% growth in 2021.</p>\n<p>Institutional sentiment is currently balanced on the stock. At the moment, it holds an &nbsp;Accumulation/Distribution Rating of C. This represents a balance of buying and selling among institutions.</p>\n<p>In total, 70% of all stock is held by funds. The Fidelity Contrafund (FCNTX), which is rated by IBD research as one of the top performing funds, is a noteworthy holder.</p>\n<p>Headquartered in Houston, Westlake is a global manufacturer and supplier of materials and products used in packaging, health care products, car parts and consumer goods, as well as building and construction products.</p>\n<p>The American Chemistry Council said U.S. chemical production grew for the seventh straight month in January. Chemical makers like Westlake supply materials to several key industries.</p>\n<p>\"With our operations restored in the middle of the fourth quarter, we were able to capitalize on the robust global demand and benefit from higher prices and margins for most of our products.\" CEO Albert Chao in a statement.</p>\n<p>He believes strength in global demand in polyethylene and PVC, coupled with the rise in housing starts and new building permits, will continue into 2021.</p>\n<p><b>Applied Materials Stock</b></p>\n<p>Chip equipment stock Applied Materials is in a short consolidation with a 124.60 buy point. AMAT stock needs another week for its current consolidation to qualify as a proper flat base</p>\n<p>It recently bounced of its 10-week line, which is a bullish indicator. Applied Materials stock is currently looking for support at its 10-day line. A move above last week's high of 121.17 would qualify as an early entry.</p>\n<p>The RS line is taking a breather, but is looking bullish overall. It has been generally making progress since mid-September.</p>\n<p>AMAT stock has a perfect Composite Rating of 99. While stock market performance is impressive, earnings are even better.</p>\n<p>Applied Materials isplanning to host its investor day April 6. If it serves up strong long-term guidance it could push the stock higher still. Analysts certainly see growth ahead, with EPS seen popping 44% in 2021 and swelling 9% in 2022.</p>\n<p>Chip demand has been spiking. Areas such as cloud-computing data centers, 5G wireless handsets and automobiles have been ramping up sales of AMAT's its equipment. Demand for flat-panel display manufacturing gear, however, has been weak.</p>\n<p>In fiscal Q1, the firm posted sales of $5.16 billion, up 24% from a year earlier. Earnings rose 42% to $1.39 per share.</p>\n<p>For the April quarter, Applied Materials expects to earn an adjusted $1.50 a share, up 69%, on sales of $5.39 billion, up 36%.</p>\n<p>On its first-quarter earnings call, Applied Materials said it expects the worldwide wafer fab equipment market to grow above 18% to around $70 billion in 2021. That market rose 16% to $60 billion in 2020.</p>\n<p>\"AMAT expects to continue to gain share in 2021 supported by new innovative products and their unique product breadth,\" AMAT stock analyst Vivek Arya from Bank of America said in a recent note to clients.</p>\n<p>The company' customers include foundry<b>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing</b>(TSM), which is a member of the prestigiousIBD Leaderboardlist of top stocks.</p>\n<p>Several chip-gear makers and chipmakers also are setting up near buy points.</p>","source":"lsy1610449120050","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>These Are The 5 Best Stocks To Buy And Watch Now</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nThese Are The 5 Best Stocks To Buy And Watch Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-24 11:32 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.investors.com/research/best-stocks-to-buy-now/?src=A00220><strong>investors</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard.

An important consideration is that these stocks all boast impressive relative strength.\nGoogle Stock\nGoogle parent Alphabet is near abuy pointof 2,145.24, as athree-weeks-tighthas evolved into a flat base, according toMarketSmith chart analysis. The entry is just above the mid-February all-time high.\nGoogle stock has been trading around its 21-day exponential moving average and is just above its 10-week line.\nTherelative strength lineforGOOGL stockis near a record high. This gauges a stock's performance compared to the S&P 500. If Alphabet's RS line spikes again, it will be a sign the stock is ready to push higher still.\nGOOGL stock has a very strong  IBD Composite Rating of 94. That puts it in the top 6% of stocks tracked overall. Earnings are stronger than stock market performance, however. Nevertheless, the stock is up more than 16% so far this year.\nGoogle stock should benefit from a rebound in digital advertising as coronavirus vaccinations expand. Stock buybacks are another bright spot. Cloud computing holds promise, but remains an unprofitable business for Alphabet for now.\nThe tech giant has a Relative Strength Rating of 66. That means it has outperformed 66% of stocks tracked in terms of price performance over the past 12 months.\nIn recent years, Google stock has only slightly outpaced the S&P 500, but that outperformance has picked up in recent months, as its RS line shows. Google has done exceptionally well vs. many tech stocks over the past few weeks.\nEarnings are a key strength, which is highlighted by its EPS Rating of 93 out of a best-possible 99. Howeverearnings have grown by an average of 10%over the past three years, below the 25% sought by CAN SLIM investors.\nLast month the firm reported fourth-quarter earnings and revenue that crushed estimates as its core search advertising business rebounded. EPS grew 29% and revenue 23%, both accelerating for a second straight quarter.\nCloud computing revenue topped views, though high investment prevented it from being a profitable enterprise.\n\"Cloud businesses scale, so revenue/booking trends will matter,\" Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak said in a report to clients.\nAnd while operating margins for the Google cloud computing business came in much lower than analyst estimates, Bank of America analyst Justin Post was upbeat.\n\"We think new cloud disclosure suggests optimism on margin trajectory, and we see a potential $10 billion profit improvement over the next five years using Amazon margins as a target,\" Post said in a research note.\nAnalysts expect Google earnings to swell 32% in 2021 and 17% in 2022.\nCarMax Stock\nCarMax stock is in buy zone after breaking out of aflat base. The ideal entry point is 128.68, according to MarketSmith analysis.\nThe used car dealer chain is currently well clear of its50-day moving average, which is a bullish sign.\nIn addition, therelative strength linefor CarMax stock is looking mighty. It is sitting near all-time highs on its weekly chart, and has been trending upwards since early January. The stock is up more around 40% so far this year.\nKMX stock has a strong, but not ideal, IBD Composite Rating of 87. Earnings are the standout strength for KMX stock, with itsEPS Rating coming in at 90 out of 99.\nIt has been affected by the initial coronavirus lockdowns, butEPS roared back to 37% growth in the most recent quarter. Earnings have accelerated for the past two quarters.\nAnalysts see earnings falling 16% in 2021, before roaring back with growth of 27% in 2022.\nBig money is piling in, with its Accumulation/Distribution Rating coming in at B. This represents moderate buying over the past 13 weeks. In total, 57% of its stock is held by funds.\nCarMax operates used car stores in more than 70 metropolitan markets. It is a recentIBD Stock Of The Day.\nCarMax's network of 220 stores nationwide sold more than 830,000 used cars in its last financial year. Overall used vehicle sales are expected to rise 2.9% in 2021 to 39.3 million, according to Cox Automotive.\nFor Q3, it reported more than 50% of customers chose to advance their transaction online. It has expanded in home delivery and contactless curbside pickup, tapping new avenues of growth.\n\"We are on track for most of our customers to have the ability to buy vehicle online independently if they choose by the middle of next fiscal year,\" CEO Bill Nash said on an earnings call last December.\nMeanwhile, more consumers moved to the used car market during the pandemic. At the same time, used car prices rose on a combination of factors.\nThe pandemic strained Americans' wallets, forcing consumers to hold on to old cars longer and making fewer used cars available for sale. People also sought to avoid mass transportation. Rising new car prices, partly due to limited supply, also turned more shoppers to the used market.\nRBC Stock\nRBC stock has slipped below its buy zone after breaking out of acup base. The ideal buy point here is 147.07. Investors will want to see the stock show some strength here, rather than dipping lower.\nThe relative strength line has more than recovered after a brief pullback, and is juts off highs. It has been on the charge since mid-February.\nThe recent excellent performance of RBC stock has seen it make its way onto the highly prestigiousLeaderboard listof top growth stocks.\nIt has a strong, but not ideal, Composite Rating of 84 out of 99. It boasts a solid mix of stock market and earnings performance. So far in 2021 the stock has posted a gain of around 16%.\nIt has been getting upward earnings revisions of late, with EPS seen rising 24% in 2021, before gaining 12% in 2022.\nInstitutions are keen on the stock, with itsAccumulation/Distribution Rating coming in at B+. This represents moderate-to-heavy buying among institutional investors. In total, 64% of its stock is held by funds.\nWisconsin-based Regal Beloit makes \"motors, bearings, gearing, conveying, blowers, electric components, and couplings,\" according to the company. Its products can be found in farm equipment, pool and spa equipment and commercial HVAC systems. It owns nearly 30 brands including Marathon Motors and Marathon Generators, Browning and Milwaukee Gear.\nRegal earnings jumped 42% to $1.78 a share in the fourth quarter, better than expected and up from a 28% gain in Q3 and 36% decline in Q2. Sales climbed 6% to $780.5 million in Q4, also beating analyst views and returning to growth after several down quarters.\nLast month, the company agreed to buyRexnord Corp.'s (RNX) bearings, couplings and gears unit with Regal in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction. The deal is expected to close in Q4, pending regulatory approval.\nRegal has also found other ways to expand its business amid Covid-19. Improving air filtration systems have been a major issue during the pandemic. The company has developed a new air treatment system that uses UV light to keep the air free of viruses and bacteria.\n\"We see lots of potential for this product, even beyond Covid-19 as end users become more interested in keeping indoor air free of all kinds of pathogens,\" CEO Louis Pinkham said during last month's Q4 earnings call.\nWestlake Chemical Stock\nWestlake Chemical below its buy zone after clearing a 90.46 buy point. It managed to break out of a first stagecup-with-handle base.It has slipped under its 50-day line, and it is important that it fights back going forward.\nWLK stock previously tested its buy point last week, undercutting it multiple times, at least intraday, before closing Friday at 91.84.\nThe relative strength line is sitting around new highs. It has been making progress so far in 2021, gaining around 5%.\nWLK stock was just added toIBD Leaderboard. However investors will be looking to see its earnings improve, as it currently holds a poorEPS Rating of 46.Earnings jumped 47% in the latest quarter, with analysts expected 147% growth in 2021.\nInstitutional sentiment is currently balanced on the stock. At the moment, it holds an  Accumulation/Distribution Rating of C. This represents a balance of buying and selling among institutions.\nIn total, 70% of all stock is held by funds. The Fidelity Contrafund (FCNTX), which is rated by IBD research as one of the top performing funds, is a noteworthy holder.\nHeadquartered in Houston, Westlake is a global manufacturer and supplier of materials and products used in packaging, health care products, car parts and consumer goods, as well as building and construction products.\nThe American Chemistry Council said U.S. chemical production grew for the seventh straight month in January. Chemical makers like Westlake supply materials to several key industries.\n\"With our operations restored in the middle of the fourth quarter, we were able to capitalize on the robust global demand and benefit from higher prices and margins for most of our products.\" CEO Albert Chao in a statement.\nHe believes strength in global demand in polyethylene and PVC, coupled with the rise in housing starts and new building permits, will continue into 2021.\nApplied Materials Stock\nChip equipment stock Applied Materials is in a short consolidation with a 124.60 buy point. AMAT stock needs another week for its current consolidation to qualify as a proper flat base\nIt recently bounced of its 10-week line, which is a bullish indicator. Applied Materials stock is currently looking for support at its 10-day line. A move above last week's high of 121.17 would qualify as an early entry.\nThe RS line is taking a breather, but is looking bullish overall. It has been generally making progress since mid-September.\nAMAT stock has a perfect Composite Rating of 99. While stock market performance is impressive, earnings are even better.\nApplied Materials isplanning to host its investor day April 6. If it serves up strong long-term guidance it could push the stock higher still. Analysts certainly see growth ahead, with EPS seen popping 44% in 2021 and swelling 9% in 2022.\nChip demand has been spiking. Areas such as cloud-computing data centers, 5G wireless handsets and automobiles have been ramping up sales of AMAT's its equipment. Demand for flat-panel display manufacturing gear, however, has been weak.\nIn fiscal Q1, the firm posted sales of $5.16 billion, up 24% from a year earlier. Earnings rose 42% to $1.39 per share.\nFor the April quarter, Applied Materials expects to earn an adjusted $1.50 a share, up 69%, on sales of $5.39 billion, up 36%.\nOn its first-quarter earnings call, Applied Materials said it expects the worldwide wafer fab equipment market to grow above 18% to around $70 billion in 2021. That market rose 16% to $60 billion in 2020.\n\"AMAT expects to continue to gain share in 2021 supported by new innovative products and their unique product breadth,\" AMAT stock analyst Vivek Arya from Bank of America said in a recent note to clients.\nThe company' customers include foundryTaiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM), which is a member of the prestigiousIBD Leaderboardlist of top stocks.\nSeveral chip-gear makers and chipmakers also are setting up near buy points.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":113,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":324336345,"gmtCreate":1615961454187,"gmtModify":1704788972226,"author":{"id":"3577175332033659","authorId":"3577175332033659","name":"meepmeep","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d271637fdd65cb96a55511720d2d85fe","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3577175332033659","authorIdStr":"3577175332033659"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Booo","listText":"Booo","text":"Booo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/324336345","repostId":"1165333452","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1165333452","pubTimestamp":1615950788,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1165333452?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-17 11:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why AMC Stock Dropped Tuesday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1165333452","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The struggling movie theater chain's shareholders could suffer brutal losses.\nWhat happened\nShares o","content":"<p>The struggling movie theater chain's shareholders could suffer brutal losses.</p>\n<p><b>What happened</b></p>\n<p>Shares of&nbsp;<b>AMC Entertainment</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:AMC)&nbsp;fell 7% on Tuesday after Citi analyst Jason Bazinet issued a dire warning to the company's investors.</p>\n<p><b>So what</b></p>\n<p>Bazinet reiterated his sell rating on the theater operator's shares on Tuesday.

Shares of Zoom Video Communications were pressured amid the strong vaccine data released during the quarter. Furthermore, the company’s Q3 results, though incredibly strong, showed signs of deceleration from prior quarters’ torrid pace. While there will be a reduced need for some videoconferencing use cases on the other side of the pandemic, we believe there is a strong case to be made that the pandemic has prompted a permanent inflection in videoconferencing’s importance—given sustainably higher remote work arrangements, more online learning options and less business travel. Furthermore, the company’s dramatically expanded user base (up 485% YOY in Q3) positions it well to cross sell additional services, Zoom Phone in particular. The long-term future remains bright, but we acknowledge the near-term headwinds and have trimmed our position to a modest size.\"\n</blockquote>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3df6f4f5869e2d45f06c2e8c104114c5\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"500\"><span>Roman Samborskyi/Shutterstock.com</span></p>\n<p>Our calculations show that Zoom Video Communications, Inc.

A return of 16.95% was recorded by its Investor Class: APFDX, 17% by its Advisor Class: APDDX, and 17.05% by its Institutional Class: APHDX, in the fourth quarter of 2020, outperforming its MSCI All Country World benchmark that delivered a 14.68% return in the same period. You can view the fund’s top 5 holdings to have a peek at their top bets for 2021.\nArtisan Global Discovery Fund, in their Q4 2020 investor letter, mentioned Zoom Video Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZM) and emphasized their views on the company. Zoom Video Communications, Inc. is a California-based communications technology company that currently has a $100.3 billion market capitalization. Since the beginning of the year, ZM delivered a 1.99% return, impressively extending its 12-month gains to 209.65%. As of March 15, 2021, the stock closed at $350 per share.\nHere is what Artisan Global Discovery Fund has to say about Zoom Video Communications, Inc. in their Q4 2020 investor letter:\n\n \"Among our bottom contributors in Q4 was Zoom Video Communications. Shares of Zoom Video Communications were pressured amid the strong vaccine data released during the quarter. Furthermore, the company’s Q3 results, though incredibly strong, showed signs of deceleration from prior quarters’ torrid pace. While there will be a reduced need for some videoconferencing use cases on the other side of the pandemic, we believe there is a strong case to be made that the pandemic has prompted a permanent inflection in videoconferencing’s importance—given sustainably higher remote work arrangements, more online learning options and less business travel. Furthermore, the company’s dramatically expanded user base (up 485% YOY in Q3) positions it well to cross sell additional services, Zoom Phone in particular. The long-term future remains bright, but we acknowledge the near-term headwinds and have trimmed our position to a modest size.\"\n\nRoman Samborskyi/Shutterstock.com\nOur calculations show that Zoom Video Communications, Inc.

It’s the biggest gaming acquisition in Microsoft’s history, eclipsing the $2.5 billion the firm paid to buy Minecraft developer Mojang in 2014.\nThe Bethesda deal’s completion comes days after the European Union and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission gave the takeover their blessing. Bethesda is a household name in gaming. It’s published a number of hit franchises including the role-playing game series Fallout and The Elder Scrolls, and the Doom shooter franchise.\nIn a blog postTuesday, Microsoft confirmed rumors that some new Bethesda games would be exclusive to its Xbox console and Windows PCs.\n“With the addition of the Bethesda creative teams, gamers should know that Xbox consoles, PC, and Game Pass will be the best place to experience new Bethesda games, including some new titles in the future that will be exclusive to Xbox and PC players,” said Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft’s Xbox unit.\nSuch a move would ramp up Microsoft’s competition withSony. Both firms debuted their next-generation consoles last year, hoping to lure in gamers with the promise of big improvements on the older systems.\nMicrosoft took a different approach to Sony though, heavily marketing its Xbox Game Pass subscription service which offers players access to a library of games. Sony, on the other hand, is touting new PlayStation exclusives to attract gamers.\nWith Bethesda, Microsoft is hoping to build out Xbox Game Pass by including the Rockville, Maryland-based studio’s catalog of titles. But it also aims to convince people to play on its Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S platforms and PCs, rather than Sony’s new PlayStation 5.\nMicrosoft has often been seen as lagging behind Sony when it comes to major first-party releases. Xbox Game Studios’ highly anticipated new Halo game, Halo Infinite, was delayed until later this year after a backlash over quality issues in a reveal of the game.\nGaming has been a key beneficiary from the coronavirus pandemic as people have been spending more of their time at home. Major publishers like Microsoft’s Xbox Game Studios and Electronic Arts have looked to capitalize on that trend by using their huge cash piles to snap up smaller game developers.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":169,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
