At the same time, Salesforce stock lowered its organic revenue growth target to 19% from 20% over the next four years.</p>\n<p><b>Salesforce Stock Joins Dow Jones Industrial Average</b></p>\n<p>Amid the coronavirus pandemic, demand for next-generation collaboration and productivity tools has increased.

Further, Salesforce stock replaced<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XOM\">Exxon Mobil</a></b>(XOM) in the 30-stock benchmark.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, CRM stock recently was added to theIBD Long Term Leaders list.</p>\n<p>Also, the bar keeps rising when investors look at Salesforce's \"biggest acquisition ever.\" Its purchase of Exact <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TGT\">Target</a> in 2013 was followed by e-commerce platform Demandware in 2016, and MuleSoft in 2018. Then Salesforce ponied up $15.7 billion in an all-stock deal to buy data analytics firm <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/DATA\">Tableau</a> Software last year.</p>\n<p>Then came the Slack deal.</p>\n<p>The upbeat view is that acquisitions have enabled Salesforce to expand from its roots in customer relationship management software into marketing, e-commerce and other markets.</p>\n<p><b>CRM Stock: Core Business Strength An Issue</b></p>\n<p>Salesforce is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of manybig-cap tech stocks to watch. Started in 1999, Salesforce went public in 2004. Salesforce founder and Co-Chief Executive Marc Benioff worked at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ORCL\">Oracle</a> for 13 years before he left to start the software company.</p>\n<p>Microsoft's Dynamics has gained traction as a lower-priced alternative to Salesforce tools, some analysts say. In addition, Microsoft is putting more salespeople behind the Dynamics business.</p>\n<p>Also, Salesforce has been a fierce rival of<b>Oracle</b>(ORCL). Competition with<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a> Systems</b>(ADBE), thedigital media and marketing software firm, has been rising.</p>\n<p>Newer rivals include<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZEN\">Zendesk</a></b>(ZEN) and<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HUBS\">HubSpot</a></b>(HUBS). And,<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWLO\">Twilio</a></b>(TWLO) hasjumped into customer relationship managementwith an acquisition.</p>\n<p>Further, Salesforce software helps businesses organize and handle sales operations and customer relationships as they undergo digital transformation.</p>\n<p>San Francisco-based Salesforce sells software under a subscription model. The customers of software-as-a-service, or SaaS, companies like Salesforce purchase renewable subscriptions, rather than one-time software licenses. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CUBI\">Customers</a> receive automatic software updates via the web.</p>\n<p>Also, the company spends about 14% of revenue on research and development, relatively high for a software company. Increased hiring and wage inflation for software engineers also have been a headwind to margin growth.</p>\n<p><b>Salesforce Stock: Fundamental Analysis</b></p>\n<p>The company's first-quarter earnings and revenue came in above expectations. Adjusted profit climbed 13% from a year earlier to 97 cents per share, excluding investment gains, the company said. Revenue rose 23% to $5.96 billion.</p>\n<p>The company said current remaining performance obligations rose 23% to $17.8 billion. That topped analyst estimates of $17.28 billion.</p>\n<p>For the current quarter ending in July, Salesforce expects revenue in a range of $6.22 billion to $6.23 billion vs. estimates of $6.15 billion.</p>\n<p>It forecast earnings in a range of 91 cents to 92 cents a share vs. estimates of 85 cents a share.</p>\n<p>For full-year fiscal 2022, Salesforce projected operating margin of 18%, just above analyst estimates of 17.7%.</p>\n<p><b>Salesforce Builds Artificial Intelligence Platform</b></p>\n<p>One technology that Salesforce hopes will drive more revenue is artificial intelligence. The enterprise software maker introduced its \"Einstein\" AI software cloud platform in September 2016. The first Einstein AI software tools helped salespeople predict which deals are most likely to close based on a company's historical lead and account data.</p>\n<p>In addition, Salesforce has integrated AI tools into other enterprise software offerings over the past three years,targeting industries such as financial servicesin digital transformation. Einstein AI primarily works via chat bots.</p>\n<p>Salesforce in 2019 agreed tobuy data analytics firm Tableaufor $15.7 billion in an all-stock deal. Tableau provides data visualization software. In addition, it enables customers to build databases, graphs and maps using time series analytics, a technique that analyzes a series of data points ordered in time.</p>\n<p>Also, Salesforce expects synergy between its Einstein artificial intelligence tools and Tableau's business intelligence software. In early October, Salesforce announced that it would rebrand Einstein Analytics as Tableau CRM.</p>\n<p><b>CRM Stock: Recent Acquisitions</b></p>\n<p>In 2018, Salesforce bought MuleSoft for $6.5 billion in cash and stock. MuleSoft's software automates the integration of new tools with legacy enterprise platforms and speeds application development.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Salesforce spent $4.6 billion on acquisitions in 2016. They included e-commerce platform Demandware.</p>\n<p>E-commerce has boomed amid the coronavirus pandemic. The shift to online shopping has provided a lift to Salesforce's \"Commerce Cloud,\" which has its roots in the Demandware purchase.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, Salesforce's $2.5 billion purchase of Exact Target in 2013 jump-started its move into marketing software.</p>\n<p>Bullish analysts say Salesforce AI's tools, plus Tableau, plus MuleSoft will make a powerful combination for digital transformation projects.</p>\n<p>Further, Salesforce aims to partner with IT services firms such as<b>Accenture</b>(ACN) to add customers. Despite U.S.-<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CAAS\">China</a> trade tensions, Salesforce in July added<b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BABA\">Alibaba</a> Group</b>(BABA) as a sales channel partner in China.</p>\n<p><b>Is Salesforce Stock A Buy?</b></p>\n<p>In cloud computing, Salesforce has partnered with Google for data analytics. In addition, Salesforce hasexpanded its venture capital investing.</p>\n<p>According toIBD Stock Checkup, CRM stock currently has aRelative Strength Ratingof only 61 out of a possible 99. The best stocks tend to have ratings of 80 and above.</p>\n<p>In addition, CRM stock has anAccumulation/Distribution Ratingof B-plus. The rating analyzes price and volume changes in a stock over the past 13 weeks of trading. The rating, on an A+ to E scale, measures institutional buying and selling in a stock. A+ signifies heavy institutional buying; E means heavy selling. Think of the C grade as neutral.</p>\n<p>As of Aug. 23, CRM stock trades below a proper entry point of 271.02 and is not in a buy zone, according toIBD MarketSmith analysis. Salesforce stock probably needs toforge a new baseto be actionable.</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>Is Salesforce Stock A Buy?

In addition, Microsoft is putting more salespeople behind the Dynamics business.\nAlso, Salesforce has been a fierce rival ofOracle(ORCL). Competition withAdobe Systems(ADBE), thedigital media and marketing software firm, has been rising.\nNewer rivals includeZendesk(ZEN) andHubSpot(HUBS). And,Twilio(TWLO) hasjumped into customer relationship managementwith an acquisition.\nFurther, Salesforce software helps businesses organize and handle sales operations and customer relationships as they undergo digital transformation.\nSan Francisco-based Salesforce sells software under a subscription model. The customers of software-as-a-service, or SaaS, companies like Salesforce purchase renewable subscriptions, rather than one-time software licenses. Customers receive automatic software updates via the web.\nAlso, the company spends about 14% of revenue on research and development, relatively high for a software company. Increased hiring and wage inflation for software engineers also have been a headwind to margin growth.\nSalesforce Stock: Fundamental Analysis\nThe company's first-quarter earnings and revenue came in above expectations. Adjusted profit climbed 13% from a year earlier to 97 cents per share, excluding investment gains, the company said. Revenue rose 23% to $5.96 billion.\nThe company said current remaining performance obligations rose 23% to $17.8 billion. That topped analyst estimates of $17.28 billion.\nFor the current quarter ending in July, Salesforce expects revenue in a range of $6.22 billion to $6.23 billion vs. estimates of $6.15 billion.\nIt forecast earnings in a range of 91 cents to 92 cents a share vs. estimates of 85 cents a share.\nFor full-year fiscal 2022, Salesforce projected operating margin of 18%, just above analyst estimates of 17.7%.\nSalesforce Builds Artificial Intelligence Platform\nOne technology that Salesforce hopes will drive more revenue is artificial intelligence. The enterprise software maker introduced its \"Einstein\" AI software cloud platform in September 2016. The first Einstein AI software tools helped salespeople predict which deals are most likely to close based on a company's historical lead and account data.\nIn addition, Salesforce has integrated AI tools into other enterprise software offerings over the past three years,targeting industries such as financial servicesin digital transformation. Einstein AI primarily works via chat bots.\nSalesforce in 2019 agreed tobuy data analytics firm Tableaufor $15.7 billion in an all-stock deal. Tableau provides data visualization software. In addition, it enables customers to build databases, graphs and maps using time series analytics, a technique that analyzes a series of data points ordered in time.\nAlso, Salesforce expects synergy between its Einstein artificial intelligence tools and Tableau's business intelligence software. In early October, Salesforce announced that it would rebrand Einstein Analytics as Tableau CRM.\nCRM Stock: Recent Acquisitions\nIn 2018, Salesforce bought MuleSoft for $6.5 billion in cash and stock. MuleSoft's software automates the integration of new tools with legacy enterprise platforms and speeds application development.\nMeanwhile, Salesforce spent $4.6 billion on acquisitions in 2016. They included e-commerce platform Demandware.\nE-commerce has boomed amid the coronavirus pandemic. The shift to online shopping has provided a lift to Salesforce's \"Commerce Cloud,\" which has its roots in the Demandware purchase.\nFurthermore, Salesforce's $2.5 billion purchase of Exact Target in 2013 jump-started its move into marketing software.\nBullish analysts say Salesforce AI's tools, plus Tableau, plus MuleSoft will make a powerful combination for digital transformation projects.\nFurther, Salesforce aims to partner with IT services firms such asAccenture(ACN) to add customers. Despite U.S.-China trade tensions, Salesforce in July addedAlibaba Group(BABA) as a sales channel partner in China.\nIs Salesforce Stock A Buy?\nIn cloud computing, Salesforce has partnered with Google for data analytics. In addition, Salesforce hasexpanded its venture capital investing.\nAccording toIBD Stock Checkup, CRM stock currently has aRelative Strength Ratingof only 61 out of a possible 99. The best stocks tend to have ratings of 80 and above.\nIn addition, CRM stock has anAccumulation/Distribution Ratingof B-plus. The rating analyzes price and volume changes in a stock over the past 13 weeks of trading. The rating, on an A+ to E scale, measures institutional buying and selling in a stock. A+ signifies heavy institutional buying; E means heavy selling. Think of the C grade as neutral.\nAs of Aug. 23, CRM stock trades below a proper entry point of 271.02 and is not in a buy zone, according toIBD MarketSmith analysis. Salesforce stock probably needs toforge a new baseto be actionable.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":132,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9019099573,"gmtCreate":1648482433730,"gmtModify":1676534343700,"author":{"id":"3577225119916525","authorId":"3577225119916525","name":"Ylzhao","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a9f86547259196cbaedf106007822eb","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good to focus on key markets","listText":"Good to focus on key markets","text":"Good to focus on key markets","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9019099573","repostId":"2222722864","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2222722864","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1648459765,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2222722864?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-03-28 17:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Sea E-Commerce Arm Shopee to Shut down India Operations - Statement","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2222722864","media":"Reuters","summary":"SINGAPORE, March 28 (Reuters) - Singapore-based e-commerce and gaming firm Sea Ltd said on Monday it","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>SINGAPORE, March 28 (Reuters) - Singapore-based e-commerce and gaming firm Sea Ltd said on Monday it is withdrawing from India's retail market just months after beginning operations there, citing "global market uncertainties".</p><p>Sea shares tumbled more than 8% in premarket trading.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c5246229b5bd07e27d8b6b3233eb78c6\" tg-width=\"841\" tg-height=\"618\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>The business withdrawal comes weeks after Sea's e-commerce arm, Shopee, said it was pulling out of France and after India banned Sea's popular gaming app "Free Fire".</p><p>After the ban, the market value of New York-listed Sea dropped by $16 billion in a single day, leading some investors to cut holdings in it.</p><p>Shopee said in a statement it would work "to support local seller and buyer communities and our local team to make the process as smooth as possible".</p><p>Reuters was the first to report the company's decision.</p><p>The statement covered only retail, not gaming, activities in India.</p><p>The company is valued at around $65 billion, after reaching as much as $200 billion in late 2021 on the back of a COVID-fuelled shopping and entertainment boom.</p><p>The technology group began operations in India in October 2021 as part of an international push that saw it expand into Europe.</p><p>The local unit, Shopee India, recruited sellers and launched a shopping website.

And it's no secret that Chinese EV stocks were some of the most popular, as the largest automotive market in the world continues to move toward electrification in its transportation sector.</p>\n<p>EV sales in China surpassed 1 million in 2020, and the government hopes to grow that to 5 million by 2025. It could reach 10 million by 2030, and approach 20 million by 2040, according to research organization BloombergNEF. Two electric automakers looking to capitalize on that expansion are <b>NIO</b> (NYSE:NIO) and <b>XPeng</b> (NYSE:XPEV). Investors may be wondering which is the better buy, particularly after a correction has hit share prices in the sector.</p>\n<p><b>The right market</b></p>\n<p>As noted above, the largest automotive market in the world has much potential forEV growth. The problem is, there will be plenty of companies seeking to capitalize.<b>Tesla</b> (NASDAQ:TSLA) built its second manufacturing plant in Shanghai for a reason. And though they're maybe the most well-known Chinese EV makers, NIO and XPeng combined delivered only slightly more than half the 131,000 battery-electric vehicles that <b>BYD</b> (OTC:BYDDY) sold in 2020.</p>\n<p>NIO reached almost 44,000 vehicles delivered in 2020, while XPeng more than doubled its volume versus 2019 to 27,041. Both companies have recently introduced sedan models that each hopes will be significant drivers of future sales growth.</p>\n<p>XPeng's P7 sports sedan has surpassed a total of 20,000 cumulative deliveries since its launch in early 2020, as it moves ahead of the G3 compact SUV as the company's most popular vehicle. That marked the fastest pace to 20,000 vehicle deliveries of any Chinese EV start-up.</p>\n<p>NIO introduced its new ET7 luxury sedan earlier this year. The ET7 will be available early next year, and has some intricate features. The sleek exterior includes autonomous driving sensors, a \"crystal-like heartbeat\" tail light, all-glass roof, and a digital entry system that extends the flush handle and automatically releases the door's \"e-latch\" as the driver approaches.</p>\n<p><b>Priced for perfection</b></p>\n<p>The strong sales growth along with massive potential for Chinese EVs had investors already piling into these stocks. But after shares of both NIO and XPeng soared last year, the stocks are off January 2021 highs by 27% and 38% respectively, making now a good time to see which may be the better buy.</p>\n<p>Neither company is profitable yet, so one way to measure valuations is using sales rather than earnings. The price-to-sales ratios (P/S) are both very high, but sales are expected to grow quickly, and it's a relevant metric for comparing the two companies.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cf721bd77e4fa0e2530b3d2f86034920\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"483\"><span>NIO MARKET CAP DATA BY YCHARTS</span></p>\n<p>Though NIO has the higher market cap, it is less expensive than XPeng as measured by the P/S ratio. NIO also has a unique approach to the market with its battery swap program, which allows customers to \"recharge\" via a faster battery exchange. The company says its automated battery swap stations take only three minutes to produce a fully charged battery replacement.</p>\n<p><b>Looking ahead</b></p>\n<p>NIO's push into the luxury sedan segment with its ET7 could help advance the company to the next level. Gross margins, gross profit, and operating cash flow went positive in 2020, indicating the path to profitability is in sight.</p>\n<p>Both companies look to be adequately capitalized to fund planned growth efforts. As of Dec. 31, 2020, NIO had $6.5 billion in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investment on its balance sheet, and XPeng had about $5.4 billion.

And it's no secret that Chinese EV stocks were some of the most popular, as the largest automotive market in the world continues to move toward electrification in its transportation sector.\nEV sales in China surpassed 1 million in 2020, and the government hopes to grow that to 5 million by 2025. It could reach 10 million by 2030, and approach 20 million by 2040, according to research organization BloombergNEF. Two electric automakers looking to capitalize on that expansion are NIO (NYSE:NIO) and XPeng (NYSE:XPEV). Investors may be wondering which is the better buy, particularly after a correction has hit share prices in the sector.\nThe right market\nAs noted above, the largest automotive market in the world has much potential forEV growth. The problem is, there will be plenty of companies seeking to capitalize.Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) built its second manufacturing plant in Shanghai for a reason. And though they're maybe the most well-known Chinese EV makers, NIO and XPeng combined delivered only slightly more than half the 131,000 battery-electric vehicles that BYD (OTC:BYDDY) sold in 2020.\nNIO reached almost 44,000 vehicles delivered in 2020, while XPeng more than doubled its volume versus 2019 to 27,041. Both companies have recently introduced sedan models that each hopes will be significant drivers of future sales growth.\nXPeng's P7 sports sedan has surpassed a total of 20,000 cumulative deliveries since its launch in early 2020, as it moves ahead of the G3 compact SUV as the company's most popular vehicle. That marked the fastest pace to 20,000 vehicle deliveries of any Chinese EV start-up.\nNIO introduced its new ET7 luxury sedan earlier this year. The ET7 will be available early next year, and has some intricate features. The sleek exterior includes autonomous driving sensors, a \"crystal-like heartbeat\" tail light, all-glass roof, and a digital entry system that extends the flush handle and automatically releases the door's \"e-latch\" as the driver approaches.\nPriced for perfection\nThe strong sales growth along with massive potential for Chinese EVs had investors already piling into these stocks. But after shares of both NIO and XPeng soared last year, the stocks are off January 2021 highs by 27% and 38% respectively, making now a good time to see which may be the better buy.\nNeither company is profitable yet, so one way to measure valuations is using sales rather than earnings. The price-to-sales ratios (P/S) are both very high, but sales are expected to grow quickly, and it's a relevant metric for comparing the two companies.\nNIO MARKET CAP DATA BY YCHARTS\nThough NIO has the higher market cap, it is less expensive than XPeng as measured by the P/S ratio. NIO also has a unique approach to the market with its battery swap program, which allows customers to \"recharge\" via a faster battery exchange. The company says its automated battery swap stations take only three minutes to produce a fully charged battery replacement.\nLooking ahead\nNIO's push into the luxury sedan segment with its ET7 could help advance the company to the next level. Gross margins, gross profit, and operating cash flow went positive in 2020, indicating the path to profitability is in sight.\nBoth companies look to be adequately capitalized to fund planned growth efforts. As of Dec. 31, 2020, NIO had $6.5 billion in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investment on its balance sheet, and XPeng had about $5.4 billion. The companies could raise more money by listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which is reportedly being considered by both.\nFor investors looking to pick just one holding to participate in Chinese EV growth, NIO appears to be the better option of these two companies. Any investment still belongs in the speculative portion of a portfolio, with the potential for much volatility. But for those who can stomach that, and have an appropriate portion invested, the recent drop in shares helps make NIO a better buy than XPeng right now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":201,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":325414186,"gmtCreate":1615912410545,"gmtModify":1704788458867,"author":{"id":"3577225119916525","authorId":"3577225119916525","name":"Ylzhao","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a9f86547259196cbaedf106007822eb","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Palantir has the government to back up","listText":"Palantir has the government to back up","text":"Palantir has the government to back up","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/325414186","repostId":"1124564578","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":335,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
