Some people lose their jobs, budgets tighten, spending decreases, markets get volatile, and investors get nervous as they see a portion of their portfolios apparently begin to evaporate.</p>\n<p>Some investors panic and make the mistake of selling their stocks during a recession and lock in losses. But others know that recessions are a time to<i>buy</i>stock as they offer access to lower stock prices that can lay the foundation for tremendous returns once the economy recovers. The key to executing that last action successfully is to focus on buying stock in strong companies that can survive periods of soft demand and high unemployment.</p>\n<p>No one knows when a recession will hit, but we do know there have been 18 recessions over the last century, so it's likely to happen again. The wise investor will do what it takes to be prepared for this eventuality.</p>\n<p>Here are three relatively safe tech stocks that represent strong companies and I would buy them during the next recession.</p>\n<p>1. Microsoft</p>\n<p><b>Microsoft</b>'s(NASDAQ:MSFT)software is widely used by both consumers and businesses. There are more than 1 billion active devices that run on Windows 10, and the company reported that Office 365 usage was higher than ever last year. Microsoft is also a leader in helping organizations shift to digital technologies, whereMicrosoft Azureis emerging as a strong second-place competitor to<b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:AMZN)in the cloud services market.</p>\n<p>Even with Microsoft's established brand and customer base, the company is not immune to dips in demand caused by recessions. For example, spending on technology could decline during a weak economy, pressuring Microsoft's revenue growth. But it's worth noting that spending on cloud services and infrastructure continued to increase during the pandemic as Microsoft benefited from the remote work trend, and CEO Satya Nadella believes the growing demand for digital services is just getting started.</p>\n<p>\"Over a year into the pandemic, digital adoption curves aren't slowing down. They're accelerating, and it's just the beginning,\" Nadella stated in the fiscal Q3 2021 earnings report.</p>\n<p>Microsoft estimates that 50 billion new devices will come online by 2030, and that could translate to tremendous growth in revenue for Azure -- not to mention demand for Microsoft's popular software tools like Word and Excel, which the company bundles as a subscription service with Microsoft 365.</p>\n<p>Microsoft is a financial fortress. It ended the most recent quarter with a net cash position of $73 billion, and it generated $54 billion infree cash flowover the last four quarters.&nbsp;With that much cash sitting on the balance sheet and more coming in every year, Microsoft would likely be able to continue increasing its dividend payout even during challenging business conditions. The stock currently pays adividend yieldof 0.87%, representing a cash payout ratio of 30% relative to free cash flow.</p>\n<p>The secular demand trend for digital enterprise software services should keep Microsoft growing over the long term, and its rock-solid financial position should provide a cushion to the stock price in the event of anothermarket correction.</p>\n<p>2. Amazon</p>\n<p>Amazon provides essential services through its grocery businesses (Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods). It's also the leader in cloud services with its Amazon Web Services business. But serving the consumer is still its bread and butter. The annualPrime Day(usually held in the summer months) has become just as big as Black Friday, and the event provides Amazon an opportunity to reach new customers with its Prime membership program.</p>\n<p>Amazon generated $419 billion in revenue over the last year, and it continues to grow very fast for a large business. Revenue has doubled over the last three years, with growth accelerating during the pandemic.</p>\n<p>Still, not all recessions may turn out as well for the e-commerce giant. Amazon sells a lot of consumer electronics and other nonessential items that people may not purchase during a prolonged recession.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, many customers would likely stick with their Prime memberships to enjoy movies, music, and free grocery delivery. Amazon now has more than 200 million loyal patrons through Prime, and the company is seeing Prime engagement continue to rise, providing a stickier ecosystem of services for consumers.</p>\n<p>Like Microsoft, Amazon generates a substantial amount of free cash flow to continue investing in the future no matter what the economy is doing. Over the last four quarters, Amazon generated $26.4 billion in free cash flow.&nbsp;Most of its operating profit comes from cloud services, where Amazon Web Services made up 11.6% of total revenue on a trailing-12-month basis.</p>\n<p>While Amazon doesn't pay a dividend, that's sort of a good thing at this juncture, because it means management is still seeing tremendous opportunities to invest in building more fulfillment warehouses and its own transportation fleet to meet growing demand. This is a top growth stock to consider buying when the next market correction strikes.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bc76a43a51b8c48de3337ad1dea22962\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>AAPLDATA BY YCHARTS</span></p>\n<p>3. Apple</p>\n<p><b>Apple</b>(NASDAQ:AAPL)is one of the most iconic consumer brands in the world. Sure, sales of its pricey aluminum-clad devices would likely suffer if people didn't have money to spend, but the company also has a growing revenue stream from subscription services, and it generates plenty of cash to continue paying a regular dividend to shareholders.</p>\n<p>While iPhone revenue dropped 3.3% in fiscal 2020 (which ended in September), Apple saw sales of its Macs, iPads, and wearables grow at healthy rates during the pandemic. And since the iPhone 12 launched in the fall, Apple's revenue growth has accelerated to 53% year over year in the quarter that ended in March.</p>\n<p>Most importantly, Apple's installed base of active devices continues to hit new records. The new Macs and iPad Pros featuringApple's new M1 chip have rejuvenated salesof these products&nbsp;-- a great sign of Apple's brand strength in the marketplace.</p>\n<p>The stock currently pays a dividend yield of 0.67%, with a current cash payout ratio of 15.7% of trailing free cash flow. While shares are up 50% over the last year, the forwardprice-to-earnings ratiois roughly in line with that of the broader market at 24 times expected earnings. At this valuation level, there might be more room for upside in the near term, especially if the iPhone upgrade cycle remains stronger than investors expect.</p>\n<p>During the earnings call in late April, Apple CEO Tim Cook noted that 5G penetration is \"still low at this point,\" with a lot of upgrades still in front of the company.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2e5874f0d32193fcda101a46ff8ad430\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>AAPL PE RATIO (FORWARD)DATA BY YCHARTS</span></p>\n<p>In the event of another recession, investors can feel confident that Apple's business won't be starving for funds to keep cranking out new products -- and most importantly, keeping its employees happily on the payroll.</p>\n<p>Apple ended the fiscal second quarter with net cash of $87 billion on the books. While management is working toward a cash-neutral position on its balance sheet,&nbsp;Apple continues to gush more every year, with trailing free cash flow topping $90 billion.</p>\n<p>The key takeaway</p>\n<p>Shares ofleading tech stocksthat generate substantial amounts of free cash flow will be relatively safe bets during a recession.

The reforms, if finalized, would affect the largest companies in the world with profit margins of at least 10%.Looking ahead, the G-7 hopes to achieve a wider agreement on the new tax proposals next month at a gathering of the expanded G-20 finance ministers.Asked whetherAmazonandFacebookwould be among the companies targeted by the proposal, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she believes they would \"qualify by almost any definition.\"Here's how America's tech giants reacted to the news:AmazonAmazon said the agreement \"marks a welcome step forward\" in efforts to \"bring stability to the international tax system.\"\"We hope to see discussions continue to advance with the broader G20 and Inclusive Framework alliance,\" an Amazon spokesperson told CNBC by email.FacebookNick Clegg, Facebook's vice president for global affairs, welcomed the G-7 deal and said the social networking giant \"has long called for reform of the global tax rules.\"The agreement is a \"significant first step towards certainty for businesses and strengthening public confidence in the global tax system,\" Clegg tweeted Saturday.\"We want the international tax reform process to succeed and recognize this could mean Facebook paying more tax, and in different places.\"GoogleA spokesperson forGoogletold Sky Newsthat the company strongly supported the initiative and hoped for a \"balanced and durable\" agreement.Applewasn't immediately available for a comment on the G-7 agreement when contacted by CNBC.The tech tax debateTech giants have long been criticized for paying little in taxes despite their size. Amazon and other companies have been accused of avoiding tax by shifting revenue and profits through tax havens or low-tax countries. The companies insist they’re doing nothing wrong from a legal standpoint, which is why policymakers are calling for reforms.Amazon infamously paid no U.S. federal income tax in 2018, despite booking more than $11 billion in profits. The low tax bill stemmed largely from tax cuts in 2017, carryforward losses from years when the company wasn’t profitable, and tax credits for massive research and development investment and share-based employee compensation.Some countries, such as Britain, France and Italy, have introduced a digital services tax in an effort to rake in more cash from large tech firms. The aim was to implement a solution for the interim while global officials hash out details for international tax rules.But this has led to friction with the United States, which under President Donald Trump’s administration threatened to impose tariffs on French goods over the issue.Meanwhile, some analysts have argued the dealdoesn’t go far enough, while others said there was a long road ahead.George Dibb, head of the Centre for Economic Justice at the London-based Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), described the deal as a “major step forward,” but said there were still “big questions” surrounding the minimum tax level.“We would like to see something a lot closer to 25%,” he told CNBC Monday.“The Biden administration came into these negotiations with an opening offer of 21% but I think the big fight at the G-7 over Friday and Saturday was over the wording, about whether it would say ’15%′ or ‘at least 15%’ and because we have that wording now of ‘at least 15%’ the door is still open for negotiation,” he told Squawk Box Europe.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":325,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3577771048322791","authorId":"3577771048322791","name":"JY_88","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3577771048322791","authorIdStr":"3577771048322791"},"content":"Please reply thanks","text":"Please reply thanks","html":"Please reply thanks"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":115688576,"gmtCreate":1622986264195,"gmtModify":1704194087104,"author":{"id":"3578039715565156","authorId":"3578039715565156","name":"Ashaliphant","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a31fa041fdf8434c80ba7a87f80d7d28","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578039715565156","authorIdStr":"3578039715565156"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ooooooo","listText":"Ooooooo","text":"Ooooooo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/115688576","repostId":"1165368747","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1165368747","pubTimestamp":1622940597,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1165368747?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-06 08:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple’s 2021 WWDC Keynote Is Monday.

The theater company said it would use the funds for potential acquisitions, upgrading its theaters and deleveraging its balance sheet.Shares were up 22.6% when the market closed.On Tuesday afternoon, Bloomberg News reported that Mudrick had sold all of its new shares in AMC. The stock fell from its highs of the day following the report.AMC’s business was effectively halted during the pandemic, with movie theaters shut in most of the country for months and major studios delaying releases during the pandemic. However, the stock becamea favorite of traders on Redditand has seen wild swings in recent months.The sharesdoubled last weekon incredibly high volume as the speculative activity by retail traders driven by message board chats ramped back up once again.The company has taken advantage of those price surges by selling additional shares to raise cash. The stock is up more than 1,000% year to date.“Given that AMC is raising hundreds of millions of dollars, this is an extremely positive result for our shareholders,” CEO and President Adam Aron said in a filing. “It was achieved through the issuance of only 8.5 million shares, representing less than 1.7% of our issued share capital and only a small portion of our typical daily trading volume.”The dramatic price swings could also be due to ashort squeezein the stock, which is caused by traders who have bet against the stock buying shares to limit their losses. Roughly 20% of the floated shares of the company are sold short, according to S3 Partners.AMC has around $5 billion in debt and needed to defer $450 million in lease repayments as its revenue largely dried up during the pandemic. Theaters were closed for months to help stop the spread of the virus, and when the company reopened its doors, few consumers felt comfortable attending screenings, and movie studios held back new releases.Now, as vaccination rates rise and the number of coronavirus cases decline, consumer confidence in returning to movie theaters has spiked. Not to mention, studios are finally releasing new content.Over the weekend, John Krasinski’s “A Quiet Place Part II,” the sequel to his 2018 blockbuster, garnered $48.4 million over Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the highest three-day haul of any film release during the pandemic.For the full four-day Memorial Day weekend, the North American box office tallied nearly $100 million in ticket sales.Still, while initial box-office receipts are promising, fundamental elements of the movie theater business have changed in the last year, including theater capacity, shared release dates with streaming services and the number of days that movies play in theaters.The securities filing from AMC, which closed Friday with a $11.8 billion market cap, also has a risk warning for investors: “Our market capitalization, as implied by various trading prices, currently reflects valuations that diverge significantly from those seen prior to recent volatility and that are significantly higher than our market capitalization immediately prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, and to the extent these valuations reflect trading dynamics unrelated to our financial performance or prospects, purchasers of our Class A common stock could incur substantial losses if there are declines in market prices driven by a return to earlier valuations.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":442,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3577076053545624","authorId":"3577076053545624","name":"ZacC","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb3e0949f7f131c349ddc224589c2f90","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3577076053545624","authorIdStr":"3577076053545624"},"content":"here you go","text":"here you go","html":"here you go"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":119999410,"gmtCreate":1622511637530,"gmtModify":1704185349064,"author":{"id":"3578039715565156","authorId":"3578039715565156","name":"Ashaliphant","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a31fa041fdf8434c80ba7a87f80d7d28","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578039715565156","authorIdStr":"3578039715565156"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment [Cool]&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment [Cool]&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment [Cool]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/119999410","repostId":"1105273964","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1105273964","pubTimestamp":1622511256,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1105273964?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-01 09:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here Are the 11 Best Performing IPOs of the Year","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105273964","media":"Barron's","summary":"The market for initial public offerings has recently delivered some great first-day gains for investors who were able to get shares before the companies went public.That left us with 11 names.

Companies on the firm’s list are growing earnings more than expected, and their shares are relatively cheap based on the amount of cash they’re making. These firms are also highly productive, doing the most work for the lowest cost, as concerns about inflation persist. The researcher picked shares that have proven successful even when the overall market remains choppy\nTake a look at five of Cornerstone Macro’s summer stock picks:\n\nBig Tech stockshave struggled recently, with shares of Amazon and Apple down about 7% and 5%, respectively, this month. But Google-parent Alphabet made Cornerstone Macro’s list of stock picks.\nCNBC’s Jim Cramer believes Alphabet shares, up 35% this year, have more room to run.Cramer said Wednesday that Google’s reported new partnership with hospital chain HCA Healthcare is the latest good news for Alphabet shares.\nCosmetics company Estée Lauder is one of Cornerstone Macro’s stock picks. As demand for beauty products increases with mask mandates easing and the economy reopening, Cornerstone Macro believes Estée Lauder shares are poised to outperform this summer.\nCornerstone Macro also predicted shares of auto parts retailer AutoZone will reap returns in 2021. AutoZone’s latest quarterly earnings results on Tuesday solidly beat the Street’s expectations on its top and bottom lines.

Virtually all metrics climbed substantially YOY – from total company and per-segment revenues to margins, earnings and cash flow. There was virtually no bad news to speak of.</p>\n<p>Below are the highlights of Apple's results, delivered on April 28. To the best of my knowledge, none of the figures below are typos, as much as they might seem to be.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ca500cb00a59b1562e20ea213f11050\" tg-width=\"595\" tg-height=\"189\"><span>Source: DM Martins Research, data from company report</span></p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>iPhone</b>&nbsp;growth of 66%, supported primarily by the strong performance of the Pro and Pro Max models;</li>\n <li><b>iPad</b>&nbsp;growth of 79%, which compares favorably to Microsoft's (MSFT) 12% increase in Surface revenues and the broad industry's&nbsp;projected&nbsp;double-digit decline in tablet unit sales in first calendar quarter;</li>\n <li><b>Mac</b>&nbsp;growth of 70%, a result of (1) a strong lineup of M1-equipped devices and (2) stay-at-home trends still playing a crucial role in global markets, particularly Europe;</li>\n <li><b>Services</b>&nbsp;growth of 27% that, contrary to popular belief, accelerated compared to pre-pandemic levels;</li>\n <li><b>Greater China</b>&nbsp;growth of 87%, due in part to the country being ahead in the COVID-19 cycle, definitely turning this market from a 2015-2020 loser into a winner over the past six months;</li>\n <li><b>Gross margin</b>&nbsp;expansion of over four percentage points due to cost savings and favorable mix;</li>\n <li><b>Op margin</b>&nbsp;expansion of more than eight percentage points due to gross margin increase and gains of scale.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>To be fair, a few one-off factors may have helped to turn an otherwise strong second quarter into a record-shattering one. The odd timing in the launch of the iPhone 12 in 2020 created a revenue gap in the holiday period that is still being smoothed out today. Also, COVID-19 has lasted longer than some may have wished in parts of the world, extending the stay-at-home tailwinds.</p>\n<p><b>Stock is cheap again</b></p>\n<p>With impressive results under the belt, Apple climbed modestly after the closing bell. Between the regular and after-hours trading sessions, the stock gained about 1.5%, pushing shares closer to their all-time high of $143.</p>\n<p>Despite the small earnings day gains, Apple exits this season a more affordable stock. The math is fairly simple:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>The monstrous 42-cent Q2 EPS beat alone should push fiscal 2021 consensus higher, to $4.87;</li>\n <li>Guidance for Q3 was incomplete, but I conservatively estimate that it points at another 20-cent gap to consensus, at least. Both quarters combined add up to new fiscal 2021 EPS expectations of about $5.10.</li>\n</ol>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5e4cd98b9d528f253ba92a277e6dab5f\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"436\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Apple's after-hours share price of $136 divided by a conservative $5.10 in fiscal 2021 EPS suggests a current-year P/E of only 26.8x. This is roughly in line with AAPL's pre-pandemic valuation multiple, and lower than those of tech peers whose stocks are sometimes considered \"value,\" like Facebook (FB) and Alphabet (GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL). See chart above.</p>\n<p>Just like that, following a killer earnings report, Apple stock starts to look cheap once again – despite shares having climbed about 90% in the past 12 months alone.</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>Apple's Earnings Smasher: No Room For Bearishness</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\">\nApple's Earnings Smasher: No Room For Bearishness\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-29 16:58 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4422326-apple-earnings-smasher-no-room-for-bearishness-aapl><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nApple delivered flawless fiscal second quarter results across its product portfolio and geographical segments.\nThe earnings smasher was further enabled by easy comps and lingering stay-at-...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4422326-apple-earnings-smasher-no-room-for-bearishness-aapl\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4422326-apple-earnings-smasher-no-room-for-bearishness-aapl","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1198510299","content_text":"Summary\n\nApple delivered flawless fiscal second quarter results across its product portfolio and geographical segments.\nThe earnings smasher was further enabled by easy comps and lingering stay-at-home tailwinds.\nApple is approaching all-time highs.

With a historic earnings smasher, Apple made sure to leave no room for post-earnings bearishness.\nEarnings crusher\nAnalyzing Apple's results was relatively easy this time. Virtually all metrics climbed substantially YOY – from total company and per-segment revenues to margins, earnings and cash flow. There was virtually no bad news to speak of.\nBelow are the highlights of Apple's results, delivered on April 28. To the best of my knowledge, none of the figures below are typos, as much as they might seem to be.\nSource: DM Martins Research, data from company report\n\niPhone growth of 66%, supported primarily by the strong performance of the Pro and Pro Max models;\niPad growth of 79%, which compares favorably to Microsoft's (MSFT) 12% increase in Surface revenues and the broad industry's projected double-digit decline in tablet unit sales in first calendar quarter;\nMac growth of 70%, a result of (1) a strong lineup of M1-equipped devices and (2) stay-at-home trends still playing a crucial role in global markets, particularly Europe;\nServices growth of 27% that, contrary to popular belief, accelerated compared to pre-pandemic levels;\nGreater China growth of 87%, due in part to the country being ahead in the COVID-19 cycle, definitely turning this market from a 2015-2020 loser into a winner over the past six months;\nGross margin expansion of over four percentage points due to cost savings and favorable mix;\nOp margin expansion of more than eight percentage points due to gross margin increase and gains of scale.\n\nTo be fair, a few one-off factors may have helped to turn an otherwise strong second quarter into a record-shattering one. The odd timing in the launch of the iPhone 12 in 2020 created a revenue gap in the holiday period that is still being smoothed out today. Also, COVID-19 has lasted longer than some may have wished in parts of the world, extending the stay-at-home tailwinds.\nStock is cheap again\nWith impressive results under the belt, Apple climbed modestly after the closing bell. Between the regular and after-hours trading sessions, the stock gained about 1.5%, pushing shares closer to their all-time high of $143.\nDespite the small earnings day gains, Apple exits this season a more affordable stock. The math is fairly simple:\n\nThe monstrous 42-cent Q2 EPS beat alone should push fiscal 2021 consensus higher, to $4.87;\nGuidance for Q3 was incomplete, but I conservatively estimate that it points at another 20-cent gap to consensus, at least. Both quarters combined add up to new fiscal 2021 EPS expectations of about $5.10.\n\nData by YCharts\nApple's after-hours share price of $136 divided by a conservative $5.10 in fiscal 2021 EPS suggests a current-year P/E of only 26.8x. This is roughly in line with AAPL's pre-pandemic valuation multiple, and lower than those of tech peers whose stocks are sometimes considered \"value,\" like Facebook (FB) and Alphabet (GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL). See chart above.\nJust like that, following a killer earnings report, Apple stock starts to look cheap once again – despite shares having climbed about 90% in the past 12 months alone.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":410,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":345461836,"gmtCreate":1618331120325,"gmtModify":1704709341212,"author":{"id":"3578039715565156","authorId":"3578039715565156","name":"Ashaliphant","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a31fa041fdf8434c80ba7a87f80d7d28","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578039715565156","authorIdStr":"3578039715565156"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ooooo","listText":"Ooooo","text":"Ooooo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/345461836","repostId":"1196320324","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1196320324","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1618318756,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1196320324?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-13 20:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here's Why Virgin Galactic, Coca-Cola, Square, Tilray, Aphria Are Moving","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1196320324","media":"Benzinga","summary":"One of the most common questions traders have about stocks is “Why Is It Moving?”That’s why Benzinga","content":"<p>One of the most common questions traders have about stocks is “Why Is It Moving?”</p><p>That’s why Benzinga created the Why Is It Moving, or WIIM, feature inBenzinga Pro.

This could be view positively or negatively. On the bright side, this suggests that price performance would become more predictable with lower volatility, indicative of a broadening consensus on the fundamental prospects of the company. On the other hand, traders may be disappointed its lack of momentum. Therefore, this is probably a good time to stop viewing XPEV as purely a trade, but re-analyze its merits as a fundamentally-driven investment.</p>\n<p><i>The frenetic performance of XPEV has calmed down in recent weeks, allowing its one year performance to track the S&amp;P 500 more closely</i></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9f04001d604ecc7892ef3a76c498578b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"236\"><span>Source: SeekingAlpha</span></p>\n<p><i>XPEV's G3 Super Long Range Smart SUV</i></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/68446a741f9f97afc10f2149c4e13e13\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"388\"><span>Source: XPeng Motors (G3、P7) Intelligent electric car with Internet DNA</span></p>\n<p><b>Industry and commercial positives</b></p>\n<p>Optimism on EVs and&nbsp;strong industry growth&nbsp;rates are common knowledge by now. The following points suggest specific positives for XPEV that remain intact despite relatively ebbing momentum on the stock's price (as compared to 4Q2020):</p>\n<ol>\n <li><b>Deliveries met despite fears on chip shortage.</b>While the stock's price momentum appears to have ebbed, recent news continues to remain positive. At an industry level, Chinese vehicle manufacturers XPEV andNIOmanaged to manufacture the expected numbers of vehicle deliveries, despite much feared chip shortages.XPEV chalked&nbsp;in record quarterly deliveries of 13,340 EVs in Q1 2021, +487% over the year and +130% over the month in March.NIO delivered&nbsp;20,060 +423% over the year while Q1 deliveries rose 15.6% to 20,060. The challenge these EV manufacturers face now is not so much the ability to deliver on its numbers, but on being able to meet high expectations for the stock price to gain further traction.</li>\n <li><b>Government support, China's creation of an EV ecosystem.</b>XPEV's strong deliveries describe not only excellent support from the private sector, but also the Chinese government's push to develop this part of its industry. XPEV has entered into an agreement with the city of Wuhan to build a factory with a capacity of 100,000 EV units.

Of note, operating margins started to see major improvements between the Jun-2020 (-142%) and Dec-2020 (-39%) quarters as shown in the table below.

This could be view positively or negatively. On the bright side, this suggests that price performance would become more predictable with lower volatility, indicative of a broadening consensus on the fundamental prospects of the company. On the other hand, traders may be disappointed its lack of momentum. Therefore, this is probably a good time to stop viewing XPEV as purely a trade, but re-analyze its merits as a fundamentally-driven investment.\nThe frenetic performance of XPEV has calmed down in recent weeks, allowing its one year performance to track the S&P 500 more closely\nSource: SeekingAlpha\nXPEV's G3 Super Long Range Smart SUV\nSource: XPeng Motors (G3、P7) Intelligent electric car with Internet DNA\nIndustry and commercial positives\nOptimism on EVs and strong industry growth rates are common knowledge by now. The following points suggest specific positives for XPEV that remain intact despite relatively ebbing momentum on the stock's price (as compared to 4Q2020):\n\nDeliveries met despite fears on chip shortage.While the stock's price momentum appears to have ebbed, recent news continues to remain positive. At an industry level, Chinese vehicle manufacturers XPEV andNIOmanaged to manufacture the expected numbers of vehicle deliveries, despite much feared chip shortages.XPEV chalked in record quarterly deliveries of 13,340 EVs in Q1 2021, +487% over the year and +130% over the month in March.NIO delivered 20,060 +423% over the year while Q1 deliveries rose 15.6% to 20,060. The challenge these EV manufacturers face now is not so much the ability to deliver on its numbers, but on being able to meet high expectations for the stock price to gain further traction.\nGovernment support, China's creation of an EV ecosystem.XPEV's strong deliveries describe not only excellent support from the private sector, but also the Chinese government's push to develop this part of its industry. XPEV has entered into an agreement with the city of Wuhan to build a factory with a capacity of 100,000 EV units. This is a very significant piece of news, considering its deliveries of just 5,102 in March 2021. Annualizing this number, the new capacity will be more than the whole of XPEV's total historical annual production. This news is interesting and significant since it was just released this week, suggesting it may have yet to be factored into analysts' forecast numbers. This is made more important as XPEV has always been considered a laggard in production capabilities to its larger cousin NIO. General Chinese government support for the EV ecosystem is strong, and the new facility in Wuhan echoes earlier provincial government financial support ($77m) in Guangdong. The reality is, for EVs to gain traction, government willingness to support infrastructure initiatives are highly important (e.g. permits for charging stations, creating incentives to convert from old polluting vehicles to green vehicles, etc.). With China's tradition of central planning, the EV ecosystem is placed on the right footing.\nListing in Hong Kong adds to investor base and liquidity.Going forward,XPEV,NIO, and LI intend tolistin Hong Kong this year. This is a strategic move, and makes the valuation of these companies less susceptible by US political bashing (e.g. the threat of being de-listed) should it occur, since it reflects a wider geographical base. The valuations of these companies may even get a boost given greater global liquidity due to added trading in the Asian time zone.\n\nOf note, in late March, XPEV held an autonomous driving expedition covering eight cities in China and 3,675 kilometers. The exercise was successful, as minimal human intervention was needed during the expedition and adds another brownie point to XPEV's research and development efforts, placing XPEV on the competitive landscape against rivals such as TSLA and NIO on autonomous driving. Apparently, XPEV's autonomous driving results performed better than TSLA's with fewer human interventions per 100km and better navigation in complex situations.\nXPEV's improving financials\nNow that we have several quarters of financial data on XPEV, it is worth reviewing how its metrics have been performing.

Although there have been periods when commodities like gold and assets like homes have outperformed stocks, the market's average annualized returns over the very long term crush all other investment avenues.</p><p>Perhaps the best part about putting money to work in the market is that you don't need to have Warren Buffett's or Jeff Bezos's pocketbook to build wealth. Investing as little as $300 in high-quality companies and giving your investment thesis the proper time to take shape could be all that's needed to put yourself on the path to financial freedom.</p><p>If you have $300 you can spare, which won't be needed to cover emergencies or pay bills, the following three companies are some of the smartest stocks you can buy right now.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F620630%2Frolled-up-cash-money-invest-save-three-hundred-dollars-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce</a>.com</h2><p>To start with, cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) solutions provider <b>salesforce.com</b> (NYSE:CRM) has everything needed to make patient investors rich.</p><p>Without digging too deeply into the weeds, CRM software is used by consumer-facing businesses to handle simple functions like logging client information and handling service issues and more complex things like overseeing online marketing campaigns and using predictive analysis to suggest which clients might purchase new products or services. It's of obvious benefit to the service industry, and it is also finding a growing number of clients in manufacturing and finance, to name a few examples.</p><p>According to a report from Fortune Business Insights, global CRM revenue is expected to grow from $47.8 billion in 2019 to $113.5 billion by 2027. That's a healthy 12% growth rate. But salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is thinking bigger. He has salesforce on track to grow its business from $21.2 billion in revenue in fiscal 2021 (the fiscal year that just ended) to $50 billion by fiscal 2026.</p><p>If you're wondering how salesforce can maintain such superior growth rates within the CRM space, look no further than its market share. In the first half of 2020, IDC estimated that salesforce controlled nearly 20% of global CRM market share. That was more than Nos. 2 through 5 in worldwide CRM share combined!</p><p>And there's a very good chance salesforce's momentum won't slow, assuming its pending cash-and-stock deal to buy enterprise communications platform <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WORK\">Slack Technologies</a></b> closes. Not only will it benefit from Slack's growing enterprise platform, but it'll have a new channel with which to cross-sell its CRM solutions.</p><p>Just because salesforce is already a megacap stock doesn't mean it can't head significantly higher.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F620630%2Fonline-purchase-ecommerce-credit-card-laptop-shopping-gdp-retail-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><h2>Etsy</h2><p>Another outstanding business that would be the perfect place to park $300 right now is online retailer <b>Etsy</b> (NASDAQ:ETSY).</p><p>To state the obvious, Etsy was a huge winner of the coronavirus pandemic. With people choosing to stay home, many turned to online retailers to buy basic-need goods or to treat themselves. Last year, gross merchandise sales (GMS) on the company's platform surged to nearly $10.3 billion, up 107% year over year.</p><p>What's interesting, though, is that it wasn't all facial coverings that helped Etsy's GMS soar. The bigger story is how the site's merchants and products have resonated with new and repeat customers. Habitual buyers -- those who make at least six purchases throughout the year and spend a minimum of $200 -- delivered nearly 160% purchasing growth in 2020. Meanwhile, 61 million people slotted in as new buyers or reactivated buyers on the platform.</p><p>Ultimately, it's Etsy's unique approach to retail that plays a big role in bringing back previous purchasers and turning casual shoppers into habitual buyers. Etsy's focus is on connecting consumers with small merchants that specialize in unique or customizable products. It's plainly evident that these merchants are more than willing to up their ad spending if Etsy continues to invest in and improve its marketplace.</p><p>Speaking of which, Etsy has improved buyer convenience in the U.S. by launching buy-now-pay-later financing options and has been promoting video engagement by introducing listing videos for its merchants.</p><p>With Wall Street expecting Etsy to more than double its annual sales by 2024, the sky is the limit.</p><p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F620630%2Fsquare-card-terminal.png&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"520\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Image source: Square.</p><h2>Square</h2><p>A final smart stock to buy right now with $300 is payments company <b>Square</b> (NYSE:SQ), which has two fast-growing operating segments.</p><p>For nearly a decade, Square's seller ecosystem has been thriving. This segment is responsible for providing point-of-sale solutions and analytic tools that help businesses facilitate transactions. Chances are you've used or come across <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of Square's point-of-sale devices within the past year. Between 2012 and 2019, this seller ecosystem grew the total dollar amount traversing its platform by an average of 49% a year.</p><p>The intriguing catalyst for the seller ecosystem is that bigger businesses are beginning to use the platform. In the fourth quarter of 2020, 60% of gross payment volume (GPV) came from businesses with at least $125,000 in annualized revenue. That's up 8 percentage points from two years prior. Since this is a merchant fee-driven segment, bigger merchants should play a key role in driving gross profit higher.</p><p>However, most of the long-term upside potential for this fintech stock rests with digital peer-to-peer payment platform Cash App. After ending 2017 with 7 million monthly active users (MAU), Cash App closed out 2020 with 36 million MAUs. Even better, the company notes that it's spending less than $5 to acquire new Cash App users but generating $41 in gross profit per user. That's a heck of a trade-off that Square will take any day of the week.</p><p>The beauty of Cash App is that it allows Square to bring in revenue in a variety of ways.

Although there have been periods when commodities like gold and assets like homes have outperformed stocks, the market's average annualized returns over the very long term crush all other investment avenues.Perhaps the best part about putting money to work in the market is that you don't need to have Warren Buffett's or Jeff Bezos's pocketbook to build wealth. Investing as little as $300 in high-quality companies and giving your investment thesis the proper time to take shape could be all that's needed to put yourself on the path to financial freedom.If you have $300 you can spare, which won't be needed to cover emergencies or pay bills, the following three companies are some of the smartest stocks you can buy right now.Image source: Getty Images.Salesforce.comTo start with, cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) solutions provider salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM) has everything needed to make patient investors rich.Without digging too deeply into the weeds, CRM software is used by consumer-facing businesses to handle simple functions like logging client information and handling service issues and more complex things like overseeing online marketing campaigns and using predictive analysis to suggest which clients might purchase new products or services. It's of obvious benefit to the service industry, and it is also finding a growing number of clients in manufacturing and finance, to name a few examples.According to a report from Fortune Business Insights, global CRM revenue is expected to grow from $47.8 billion in 2019 to $113.5 billion by 2027. That's a healthy 12% growth rate. But salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is thinking bigger. He has salesforce on track to grow its business from $21.2 billion in revenue in fiscal 2021 (the fiscal year that just ended) to $50 billion by fiscal 2026.If you're wondering how salesforce can maintain such superior growth rates within the CRM space, look no further than its market share. In the first half of 2020, IDC estimated that salesforce controlled nearly 20% of global CRM market share. That was more than Nos. 2 through 5 in worldwide CRM share combined!And there's a very good chance salesforce's momentum won't slow, assuming its pending cash-and-stock deal to buy enterprise communications platform Slack Technologies closes. Not only will it benefit from Slack's growing enterprise platform, but it'll have a new channel with which to cross-sell its CRM solutions.Just because salesforce is already a megacap stock doesn't mean it can't head significantly higher.Image source: Getty Images.EtsyAnother outstanding business that would be the perfect place to park $300 right now is online retailer Etsy (NASDAQ:ETSY).To state the obvious, Etsy was a huge winner of the coronavirus pandemic. With people choosing to stay home, many turned to online retailers to buy basic-need goods or to treat themselves. Last year, gross merchandise sales (GMS) on the company's platform surged to nearly $10.3 billion, up 107% year over year.What's interesting, though, is that it wasn't all facial coverings that helped Etsy's GMS soar. The bigger story is how the site's merchants and products have resonated with new and repeat customers. Habitual buyers -- those who make at least six purchases throughout the year and spend a minimum of $200 -- delivered nearly 160% purchasing growth in 2020. Meanwhile, 61 million people slotted in as new buyers or reactivated buyers on the platform.Ultimately, it's Etsy's unique approach to retail that plays a big role in bringing back previous purchasers and turning casual shoppers into habitual buyers. Etsy's focus is on connecting consumers with small merchants that specialize in unique or customizable products. It's plainly evident that these merchants are more than willing to up their ad spending if Etsy continues to invest in and improve its marketplace.Speaking of which, Etsy has improved buyer convenience in the U.S. by launching buy-now-pay-later financing options and has been promoting video engagement by introducing listing videos for its merchants.With Wall Street expecting Etsy to more than double its annual sales by 2024, the sky is the limit.Image source: Square.SquareA final smart stock to buy right now with $300 is payments company Square (NYSE:SQ), which has two fast-growing operating segments.For nearly a decade, Square's seller ecosystem has been thriving. This segment is responsible for providing point-of-sale solutions and analytic tools that help businesses facilitate transactions. Chances are you've used or come across one of Square's point-of-sale devices within the past year. Between 2012 and 2019, this seller ecosystem grew the total dollar amount traversing its platform by an average of 49% a year.The intriguing catalyst for the seller ecosystem is that bigger businesses are beginning to use the platform. In the fourth quarter of 2020, 60% of gross payment volume (GPV) came from businesses with at least $125,000 in annualized revenue. That's up 8 percentage points from two years prior. Since this is a merchant fee-driven segment, bigger merchants should play a key role in driving gross profit higher.However, most of the long-term upside potential for this fintech stock rests with digital peer-to-peer payment platform Cash App. After ending 2017 with 7 million monthly active users (MAU), Cash App closed out 2020 with 36 million MAUs. Even better, the company notes that it's spending less than $5 to acquire new Cash App users but generating $41 in gross profit per user. That's a heck of a trade-off that Square will take any day of the week.The beauty of Cash App is that it allows Square to bring in revenue in a variety of ways. It's collecting merchant revenue, just as it does in the seller ecosystem, as well as bank transfer fees. Further, it allows the company to generate investment revenue, especially from Bitcoin exchange. Revenue from Bitcoin actually rose by a factor of nine to almost $4.6 billion in 2020.Square is at the heart of the war on cash, which makes it a good bet to outperform for a long time to come.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":332,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":355568022,"gmtCreate":1617086481366,"gmtModify":1704801777394,"author":{"id":"3578039715565156","authorId":"3578039715565156","name":"Ashaliphant","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a31fa041fdf8434c80ba7a87f80d7d28","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578039715565156","authorIdStr":"3578039715565156"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Oooooo","listText":"Oooooo","text":"Oooooo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/355568022","repostId":"1155381272","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155381272","pubTimestamp":1617084828,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1155381272?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-30 14:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple supplier Foxconn fourth quarter profit misses estimates","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155381272","media":"Reuters","summary":"TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan’s Foxconn, the world’s largest contract electronics maker which counts tec","content":"<p>TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan’s Foxconn, the world’s largest contract electronics maker which counts technology giants such as Apple Inc among its major clients, reported a fourth quarter profit on Tuesday that lagged market estimates.</p>\n<p>The Taiwanese firm reported October-December net profit of T$45.97 billion ($1.61 billion), down 4% compared with the year ago period, the company said in a statement.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

While I only spent ten of those years inside Apple, gravity exerts its pull and the book sometimes feels centered on the company that allowed me to fulfill two dreams: Coming to the US and leading a product engineering organization.</p>\n<p>Writing about the early days at Apple led me to contemplate how the ambitious but struggling company became today’s $2T enterprise, how it avoided the “failure formulas” we’ve seen in so many grandees of the industry.</p>\n<p>Nokia, Palm, and Blackberry followed a relatively simple failure recipe. When the first generation iPhone was announced, they dismissed the threat, impugning Apple’s ability to play in their arena. Then Android devices arrived, and the giants refused to back down: ’<i>We know what we’re doing,just look at our numbers!</i>’.</p>\n<p>My good old HP is a&nbsp;much more complicated story. On the technical side, it allowed its superb desktop computing business to be disrupted by “cheap” 8-bit processors, but the real problems were cultural and political: A revolving door in the CEO suite, a Board of Directors that spied on each other, no coherent corporate strategy leading to catastrophic acquisitions followed by spinoffs…</p>\n<p>No company has been as powerful and then fallen as far as IBM. Once known as The Company, its mainframe products and services dominated business computing, its management methods were exemplary. (In the mid-seventies I was given a copy of the all-encompassing Manager’s Guide and was in awe with the depth and scope of the work.) Then, the PC happened, a product category IBM initially seized, only to lose it by letting clones powered by Microsoft software flood the market and kill its margins.</p>\n<p>A decade later when the Internet and networked servers changed the game, IBM wasn’t ready and almost went bust, only to be saved by Lou Gerstner…at least for a while. Unfortunately, Gerstner’s successors were unable to harness the relentless growth of Cloud Computing, and now the company has fractured. The current CEO, Arvind Krishna, recently decided to split IBM into“Two Market-Leading Companies with Focused Strategies”. The larger entity keeps the IBM name, the smaller as yet unnamed company rids IBM of a low-margin, low hope, ferociously competitive IT infrastructure business.</p>\n<p>Microsoft offers an interesting counterexample of success after it made an historic, expensive miss. Late to the smartphone game, the company gave Nokia special licensing terms for its Windows Phone OS, only to see the partnership flounder. Despairing, Microsoft bought Nokia for $7.2B in 2013 and took a $7.6B writeoff two years later, followed by another $900M the following year. The clean-up job was left to Satya Nadella who took the reins from Steve Ballmer in 2014. Since then, Microsoft has prospered as the company has focused on software and Cloud services for organizations. As a part of that refocus the Microsoft stores, modeled after the Apple Store, have been shuttered.</p>\n<p>While these failure stories hold some lessons for Apple, some of them are actually reassuring.</p>\n<p>For example, it takes more than one substantial mistake for a large company to begin its decline. The Apple Maps debut and “Antennagate”, as examples, were embarrassing but didn’t do any lasting harm. To be sure, two mediocre iPhone vintages in succession would have a deleterious effect on image and finances, but even that could be survived, especially in today’s quasi-saturated market. And as the Microsoft example shows us, seriously missing an industry wave (smartphones) can be overcome by jumping on a new one (the Cloud aided by the Windows/Office flywheel). This may shed light on Apple’s efforts to give more momentum to the Services business, a flywheel in its own right.</p>\n<p>Apple’s iCloud is a different story. True, “cloud” is a very broad term and many of the company’s cloud services are so taken-for-granted as to be almost invisible. For example, iPhone photos live in the petabytes or exabytes of cloud storage that propagates nicely to users’ devices. The same is true for Music and more.</p>\n<p>While iCloud as a product has come a long way since the 2008 MobileMe, the&nbsp;Exchange For The Rest Of Us&nbsp;that&nbsp;embarrassed Steve Jobs, it’s often sluggish and buggy (even now as I attempt to use Pages “as we speak”). It lacks the power and polish that Google and Dropbox have to offer. That said, one shouldn’t expect Apple to offer iCloud services in the way that Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure do. In fact, Apple in part&nbsp;depends on AWS&nbsp;and others for its own infrastructure — a contentious internal topic.</p>\n<p>Apple’s record with Artificial Intelligence (another broad domain) is surely a sore point in the Board Room. Although the company was “there” first with Siri, the company watched as Google and Amazon surpassed them to become the leaders in Intelligent Assistant applications. In everyday life, one can see modest progress in Siri’s usefulness and pervasiveness, and we can hope Senior VP of Machine Learning and AI Strategy&nbsp;John Giannandrea, a Google alumnus with a distinguished résumé who joined Apple in 2018, will set things right.</p>\n<p>Apple’s strengths are not to be discounted when considering failure modes. Its hardware, software, and supply chain management is unrivaled. But let’s focus on a less lauded advantage, the power of its organizational structure.</p>\n<p>To simplify, there are no&nbsp;<i>divisions</i>&nbsp;at Apple, no iPhone, Mac, or AirPod “subcompany”. Instead, there are&nbsp;<i>functions</i>&nbsp;as sketched by the&nbsp;Apple Leadership&nbsp;chart (helpful job details are accessed when clicking on the names):</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b887dfe02642de363c4b17cc7f5e4f47\" tg-width=\"1050\" tg-height=\"1806\"></p>\n<p>When Apple develops a new product — I’ll avoid titillating possibilities — work is organized around<i>projects</i>. A project group is formed by drawing on functions such as Software Engineering, Operations, Hardware Technologies, and so on. Some team members, for activities such as Product Design or Operations, may work on more than one project. The group exists as long as the project exists and is disbanded if the product is canceled or put on the shelf.</p>\n<p>One of the things that beset HP was its divisional structure with the unavoidable rivalries, territorial disputes, and fights over resources. Customers, of course, don’t care about divisons, they care about products. Apple’s robust, flexible,<i>functional</i>organization helps everyone focus on products and customers.</p>\n<p>It’s an extremely valuable Steve Jobs legacy.</p>\n<p>Does this mean Apple is immune to large scale failure, that it won’t someday take the path HP or IBM did?</p>\n<p>No.</p>\n<p>In a quest for the next engine of growth, Apple could take big risks such as trying to enter the auto industry, either in a frontal assault against Tesla, Toyota, and “Deutsche AG” (German car makers), or in more original forms of individual mobility. Or it could be tempted by the humongous amounts of money spent on healthcare.</p>\n<p>And no matter how powerful its organizational structure is, Apple, like every company, is susceptible to personal mediocrity: Insecure B-grade managers hire C-grade players who won’t challenge their authority or their “expertise”, and products suffer as a result. We know the old organization joke: When upper layer people look down, they see brains; when brains in the lower layers look up, they see #$$holes. For an organization, the beginning of the end comes when the brains realize the upper layers are colonized by incompetents and get into Why Bother Mode. I don’t know enough about the company’s hiring and firing practices but, in my nervous mind, this is the biggest risk to Apple. From a distance, it’s impossible to know how hard Apple works to avoid a form of degenerative failure.</p>","source":"lsy1616663746307","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>Apple Failure Modes</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\">\nApple Failure Modes\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-25 17:15 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://mondaynote.com/apple-failure-modes-a5c9e1c9ffb0><strong>Medium</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Apple has avoided the types of failures that have beset so many tech giants.

From the HP I dearly loved and the IBM we once feared, to Palm, Nokia, Blackberry, and many more… Will Apple eventually follow a similar trajectory and either disappear or recede into the shadows? Or can Tim Cook continue to keep the Steve Jobs Apple 2.0 miracle alive almost a decade after the magician’s passing?\n\nThe Monday Note has been on an irregular hiatus as I labor on a book chronicling my picaresque half century in the tech world. While I only spent ten of those years inside Apple, gravity exerts its pull and the book sometimes feels centered on the company that allowed me to fulfill two dreams: Coming to the US and leading a product engineering organization.\nWriting about the early days at Apple led me to contemplate how the ambitious but struggling company became today’s $2T enterprise, how it avoided the “failure formulas” we’ve seen in so many grandees of the industry.\nNokia, Palm, and Blackberry followed a relatively simple failure recipe. When the first generation iPhone was announced, they dismissed the threat, impugning Apple’s ability to play in their arena. Then Android devices arrived, and the giants refused to back down: ’We know what we’re doing,just look at our numbers!’.\nMy good old HP is a much more complicated story. On the technical side, it allowed its superb desktop computing business to be disrupted by “cheap” 8-bit processors, but the real problems were cultural and political: A revolving door in the CEO suite, a Board of Directors that spied on each other, no coherent corporate strategy leading to catastrophic acquisitions followed by spinoffs…\nNo company has been as powerful and then fallen as far as IBM. Once known as The Company, its mainframe products and services dominated business computing, its management methods were exemplary. (In the mid-seventies I was given a copy of the all-encompassing Manager’s Guide and was in awe with the depth and scope of the work.) Then, the PC happened, a product category IBM initially seized, only to lose it by letting clones powered by Microsoft software flood the market and kill its margins.\nA decade later when the Internet and networked servers changed the game, IBM wasn’t ready and almost went bust, only to be saved by Lou Gerstner…at least for a while. Unfortunately, Gerstner’s successors were unable to harness the relentless growth of Cloud Computing, and now the company has fractured. The current CEO, Arvind Krishna, recently decided to split IBM into“Two Market-Leading Companies with Focused Strategies”. The larger entity keeps the IBM name, the smaller as yet unnamed company rids IBM of a low-margin, low hope, ferociously competitive IT infrastructure business.\nMicrosoft offers an interesting counterexample of success after it made an historic, expensive miss. Late to the smartphone game, the company gave Nokia special licensing terms for its Windows Phone OS, only to see the partnership flounder. Despairing, Microsoft bought Nokia for $7.2B in 2013 and took a $7.6B writeoff two years later, followed by another $900M the following year. The clean-up job was left to Satya Nadella who took the reins from Steve Ballmer in 2014. Since then, Microsoft has prospered as the company has focused on software and Cloud services for organizations. As a part of that refocus the Microsoft stores, modeled after the Apple Store, have been shuttered.\nWhile these failure stories hold some lessons for Apple, some of them are actually reassuring.\nFor example, it takes more than one substantial mistake for a large company to begin its decline. The Apple Maps debut and “Antennagate”, as examples, were embarrassing but didn’t do any lasting harm. To be sure, two mediocre iPhone vintages in succession would have a deleterious effect on image and finances, but even that could be survived, especially in today’s quasi-saturated market. And as the Microsoft example shows us, seriously missing an industry wave (smartphones) can be overcome by jumping on a new one (the Cloud aided by the Windows/Office flywheel). This may shed light on Apple’s efforts to give more momentum to the Services business, a flywheel in its own right.\nApple’s iCloud is a different story. True, “cloud” is a very broad term and many of the company’s cloud services are so taken-for-granted as to be almost invisible. For example, iPhone photos live in the petabytes or exabytes of cloud storage that propagates nicely to users’ devices. The same is true for Music and more.\nWhile iCloud as a product has come a long way since the 2008 MobileMe, the Exchange For The Rest Of Us that embarrassed Steve Jobs, it’s often sluggish and buggy (even now as I attempt to use Pages “as we speak”). It lacks the power and polish that Google and Dropbox have to offer. That said, one shouldn’t expect Apple to offer iCloud services in the way that Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure do. In fact, Apple in part depends on AWS and others for its own infrastructure — a contentious internal topic.\nApple’s record with Artificial Intelligence (another broad domain) is surely a sore point in the Board Room. Although the company was “there” first with Siri, the company watched as Google and Amazon surpassed them to become the leaders in Intelligent Assistant applications. In everyday life, one can see modest progress in Siri’s usefulness and pervasiveness, and we can hope Senior VP of Machine Learning and AI Strategy John Giannandrea, a Google alumnus with a distinguished résumé who joined Apple in 2018, will set things right.\nApple’s strengths are not to be discounted when considering failure modes. Its hardware, software, and supply chain management is unrivaled. But let’s focus on a less lauded advantage, the power of its organizational structure.\nTo simplify, there are no divisions at Apple, no iPhone, Mac, or AirPod “subcompany”. Instead, there are functions as sketched by the Apple Leadership chart (helpful job details are accessed when clicking on the names):\n\nWhen Apple develops a new product — I’ll avoid titillating possibilities — work is organized aroundprojects. A project group is formed by drawing on functions such as Software Engineering, Operations, Hardware Technologies, and so on. Some team members, for activities such as Product Design or Operations, may work on more than one project. The group exists as long as the project exists and is disbanded if the product is canceled or put on the shelf.\nOne of the things that beset HP was its divisional structure with the unavoidable rivalries, territorial disputes, and fights over resources. Customers, of course, don’t care about divisons, they care about products. Apple’s robust, flexible,functionalorganization helps everyone focus on products and customers.\nIt’s an extremely valuable Steve Jobs legacy.\nDoes this mean Apple is immune to large scale failure, that it won’t someday take the path HP or IBM did?\nNo.\nIn a quest for the next engine of growth, Apple could take big risks such as trying to enter the auto industry, either in a frontal assault against Tesla, Toyota, and “Deutsche AG” (German car makers), or in more original forms of individual mobility. Or it could be tempted by the humongous amounts of money spent on healthcare.\nAnd no matter how powerful its organizational structure is, Apple, like every company, is susceptible to personal mediocrity: Insecure B-grade managers hire C-grade players who won’t challenge their authority or their “expertise”, and products suffer as a result. We know the old organization joke: When upper layer people look down, they see brains; when brains in the lower layers look up, they see #$$holes. For an organization, the beginning of the end comes when the brains realize the upper layers are colonized by incompetents and get into Why Bother Mode. I don’t know enough about the company’s hiring and firing practices but, in my nervous mind, this is the biggest risk to Apple. From a distance, it’s impossible to know how hard Apple works to avoid a form of degenerative failure.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":285,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":350577860,"gmtCreate":1616243311450,"gmtModify":1704792432258,"author":{"id":"3578039715565156","authorId":"3578039715565156","name":"Ashaliphant","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a31fa041fdf8434c80ba7a87f80d7d28","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578039715565156","authorIdStr":"3578039715565156"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Woah","listText":"Woah","text":"Woah","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/350577860","repostId":"1103756496","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1103756496","pubTimestamp":1616163949,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1103756496?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-19 22:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Stock Is Going Down, One Analyst Says.

Iceland and Bulgaria followed suit and Ireland and the Netherlands announced suspensions on Sunday.</p>\n<p>Spain will stop using the vaccine for at least 15 days, Cadena Ser radio reported, citing unnamed sources.</p>\n<p>The top WHO scientist reiterated on Monday that there have been no documented deaths linked to COVID-19 vaccines.</p>\n<p>“We do not want people to panic,” Soumya Swaminathan said on a virtual media briefing, adding there has been no association, so far, pinpointed between so-called “thromboembolic events” reported in some countries and COVID-19 shots.</p>\n<p>WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said an advisory committee meeting on AstraZeneca would be held on Tuesday. EU medicines regulator EMA will also convene this week to assess the information gathered into whether the AstraZeneca shot contributed to thromboembolic events in those inoculated.</p>\n<p>The moves by some of Europe’s largest and most populous countries will deepen concerns about the slow rollout of vaccines in the region, which has been plagued by shortages due to problems producing vaccines, including AstraZeneca’s.</p>\n<p>Germany warned last week it was facing a third wave of infections, Italy is intensifying lockdowns and hospitals in the Paris region are close to being overloaded.</p>\n<p>German Health Minister Jens Spahn said that although the risk of blood clots was low, it could not be ruled out.</p>\n<p>“This is a professional decision, not a political one,” Spahn said, adding he was following a recommendation of the Paul Ehrlich Institute, Germany’s vaccine regulator.</p>\n<p>France said it was suspending the vaccine’s use pending an assessment by EMA.</p>\n<p>“The decision taken, in conformity also with our European policy, is to suspend, out of precaution, vaccination with the AZ shot, hoping that we can resume quickly if the EMA’s guidance allows,” French President Emmanuel Macron said.</p>\n<p>Italy said its halt was a “precautionary and temporary measure” pending EMA’s ruling.</p>\n<p>“The EMA will meet soon to clarify any doubts so that the AstraZeneca vaccine can be resumed safely in the vaccination campaign as soon as possible,” said Gianni Rezza, Director General of Prevention at Italy’s Ministry of Health.</p>\n<p>Austria and Spain have stopped using particular batches and prosecutors in the northern Italian region of Piedmont earlier seized 393,600 doses following the death of a man hours after he was vaccinated. It was the second region to do so after Sicily, where two people had died shortly after having their shots.</p>\n<p>The WHO appealed to countries not to suspend vaccinations against a disease that has caused more than 2.7 million deaths worldwide. WHO Director-General Tedros said systems were in place to protect public health.</p>\n<p>“This does not necessarily mean these events are linked to COVID-19 vaccination, but it’s routine practice to investigate them, and it shows that the surveillance system works and that effective controls are in place,” he told the media briefing.</p>\n<p>The United Kingdom said it had no concerns, while Poland said it thought the benefits outweighed any risks.</p>\n<p>The EMA has said that as of March 10, a total of 30 cases of blood clotting had been reported among close to 5 million people vaccinated with the AstraZeneca shot in the European Economic Area, which links 30 European countries.</p>\n<p>Michael Head, a senior research fellow in global health at the University of Southampton, said the decisions by France, Germany and others looked baffling.</p>\n<p>“The data we have suggests that numbers of adverse events related to blood clots are the same (and possibly, in fact lower) in vaccinated groups compared to unvaccinated populations,” he said, adding that halting a vaccination programme had consequences.</p>\n<p>“This results in delays in protecting people, and the potential for increased vaccine hesitancy, as a result of people who have seen the headlines and understandably become concerned. There are no signs yet of any data that really justify these decisions.”</p>\n<p>A senior German infectious diseases physician, however, said the background incidence of 2-5 thromboses per million per year was significantly lower than the number of 7 out of 1.6 million vaccinated people cited by Germany’s health ministry.</p>\n<p>“This should be the reason to suspend the vaccination in Germany until all cases, including suspected cases in Germany and Europe, have been completely cleared up,” said Clemens Wendtner, head of the special unit for highly contagious life threatening infections at the Schwabing Clinic in Munich.</p>\n<p><b>‘UNUSUAL’ SYMPTOMS</b></p>\n<p>AstraZeneca’s shot was among the first and cheapest to be developed and launched at volume since the coronavirus was first identified in central China at the end of 2019, and is set to be the mainstay of vaccination programmes in much of the developing world.</p>\n<p>Thailand announced plans on Monday to go ahead with the Anglo-Swedish firm’s shot after suspending its use on Friday, but Indonesia said it would wait for the WHO to report.</p>\n<p>The WHO said its advisory panel was reviewing reports related to the shot and would release its findings as soon as possible. But it said it was unlikely to change its recommendations, issued last month, for widespread use, including in countries where the South African variant of the virus may reduce its efficacy.</p>\n<p>The EMA has also said there was no indication the events were caused by the vaccination and that the number of reported blood clots was no higher than seen in the general population.</p>\n<p>But the handful of reported side-effects in Europe have upset vaccination programmes already stumbling over slow rollouts and vaccine scepticism in some countries.</p>\n<p>The Netherlands said on Monday it had seen 10 cases of possible noteworthy adverse side-effects from the AstraZeneca shot, hours after putting its vaccination programme on hold following reports of potential side-effects in other countries.</p>\n<p>Recent information indicates “a very special, rarely occurring form of thrombosis, of which some cases appear to have occurred shortly after vaccination. This is of course suspicious and should be investigated,” said Anke Huckriede, vaccinology professor at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.</p>\n<p>Denmark reported “highly unusual” symptoms in a 60-year-old citizen who died from a blood clot after receiving the vaccine, the same phrase used on Saturday by Norway about three people under the age of 50 it said were being treated in hospital.</p>\n<p>One of the three health workers hospitalised in Norway after receiving the AstraZeneca shot had died, health authorities said on Monday, but there was no evidence the vaccine was the cause.</p>\n<p>AstraZeneca said earlier it had conducted a review covering more than 17 million people vaccinated in the EU and the UK which had shown no evidence of an increased risk of blood clots.</p>\n<p>Long-awaited results from AstraZeneca’s 30,000-person U.S. vaccine trial are now being reviewed by independent monitors to determine whether the shot is safe and effective, a top U.S. official said on Monday.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Iceland and Bulgaria followed suit and Ireland and the Netherlands announced suspensions on Sunday.\nSpain will stop using the vaccine for at least 15 days, Cadena Ser radio reported, citing unnamed sources.\nThe top WHO scientist reiterated on Monday that there have been no documented deaths linked to COVID-19 vaccines.\n“We do not want people to panic,” Soumya Swaminathan said on a virtual media briefing, adding there has been no association, so far, pinpointed between so-called “thromboembolic events” reported in some countries and COVID-19 shots.\nWHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said an advisory committee meeting on AstraZeneca would be held on Tuesday. EU medicines regulator EMA will also convene this week to assess the information gathered into whether the AstraZeneca shot contributed to thromboembolic events in those inoculated.\nThe moves by some of Europe’s largest and most populous countries will deepen concerns about the slow rollout of vaccines in the region, which has been plagued by shortages due to problems producing vaccines, including AstraZeneca’s.\nGermany warned last week it was facing a third wave of infections, Italy is intensifying lockdowns and hospitals in the Paris region are close to being overloaded.\nGerman Health Minister Jens Spahn said that although the risk of blood clots was low, it could not be ruled out.\n“This is a professional decision, not a political one,” Spahn said, adding he was following a recommendation of the Paul Ehrlich Institute, Germany’s vaccine regulator.\nFrance said it was suspending the vaccine’s use pending an assessment by EMA.\n“The decision taken, in conformity also with our European policy, is to suspend, out of precaution, vaccination with the AZ shot, hoping that we can resume quickly if the EMA’s guidance allows,” French President Emmanuel Macron said.\nItaly said its halt was a “precautionary and temporary measure” pending EMA’s ruling.\n“The EMA will meet soon to clarify any doubts so that the AstraZeneca vaccine can be resumed safely in the vaccination campaign as soon as possible,” said Gianni Rezza, Director General of Prevention at Italy’s Ministry of Health.\nAustria and Spain have stopped using particular batches and prosecutors in the northern Italian region of Piedmont earlier seized 393,600 doses following the death of a man hours after he was vaccinated. It was the second region to do so after Sicily, where two people had died shortly after having their shots.\nThe WHO appealed to countries not to suspend vaccinations against a disease that has caused more than 2.7 million deaths worldwide.

The reforms, if finalized, would affect the largest companies in the world with profit margins of at least 10%.Looking ahead, the G-7 hopes to achieve a wider agreement on the new tax proposals next month at a gathering of the expanded G-20 finance ministers.Asked whetherAmazonandFacebookwould be among the companies targeted by the proposal, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she believes they would \"qualify by almost any definition.\"Here's how America's tech giants reacted to the news:AmazonAmazon said the agreement \"marks a welcome step forward\" in efforts to \"bring stability to the international tax system.\"\"We hope to see discussions continue to advance with the broader G20 and Inclusive Framework alliance,\" an Amazon spokesperson told CNBC by email.FacebookNick Clegg, Facebook's vice president for global affairs, welcomed the G-7 deal and said the social networking giant \"has long called for reform of the global tax rules.\"The agreement is a \"significant first step towards certainty for businesses and strengthening public confidence in the global tax system,\" Clegg tweeted Saturday.\"We want the international tax reform process to succeed and recognize this could mean Facebook paying more tax, and in different places.\"GoogleA spokesperson forGoogletold Sky Newsthat the company strongly supported the initiative and hoped for a \"balanced and durable\" agreement.Applewasn't immediately available for a comment on the G-7 agreement when contacted by CNBC.The tech tax debateTech giants have long been criticized for paying little in taxes despite their size. Amazon and other companies have been accused of avoiding tax by shifting revenue and profits through tax havens or low-tax countries. The companies insist they’re doing nothing wrong from a legal standpoint, which is why policymakers are calling for reforms.Amazon infamously paid no U.S. federal income tax in 2018, despite booking more than $11 billion in profits. The low tax bill stemmed largely from tax cuts in 2017, carryforward losses from years when the company wasn’t profitable, and tax credits for massive research and development investment and share-based employee compensation.Some countries, such as Britain, France and Italy, have introduced a digital services tax in an effort to rake in more cash from large tech firms. The aim was to implement a solution for the interim while global officials hash out details for international tax rules.But this has led to friction with the United States, which under President Donald Trump’s administration threatened to impose tariffs on French goods over the issue.Meanwhile, some analysts have argued the dealdoesn’t go far enough, while others said there was a long road ahead.George Dibb, head of the Centre for Economic Justice at the London-based Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), described the deal as a “major step forward,” but said there were still “big questions” surrounding the minimum tax level.“We would like to see something a lot closer to 25%,” he told CNBC Monday.“The Biden administration came into these negotiations with an opening offer of 21% but I think the big fight at the G-7 over Friday and Saturday was over the wording, about whether it would say ’15%′ or ‘at least 15%’ and because we have that wording now of ‘at least 15%’ the door is still open for negotiation,” he told Squawk Box Europe.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":325,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3577771048322791","authorId":"3577771048322791","name":"JY_88","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3577771048322791","authorIdStr":"3577771048322791"},"content":"Please reply thanks","text":"Please reply thanks","html":"Please reply thanks"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":358139172,"gmtCreate":1616671228096,"gmtModify":1704797171637,"author":{"id":"3578039715565156","authorId":"3578039715565156","name":"Ashaliphant","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a31fa041fdf8434c80ba7a87f80d7d28","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578039715565156","authorIdStr":"3578039715565156"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buyyy","listText":"Buyyy","text":"Buyyy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/358139172","repostId":"1139908626","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1139908626","pubTimestamp":1616663752,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1139908626?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-25 17:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Failure Modes","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1139908626","media":"Medium","summary":"Apple has avoided the types of failures that have beset so many tech giants.

On the technical side, it allowed its superb desktop computing business to be disrupted by “cheap” 8-bit processors, but the real problems were cultural and political: A revolving door in the CEO suite, a Board of Directors that spied on each other, no coherent corporate strategy leading to catastrophic acquisitions followed by spinoffs…</p>\n<p>No company has been as powerful and then fallen as far as IBM. Once known as The Company, its mainframe products and services dominated business computing, its management methods were exemplary. (In the mid-seventies I was given a copy of the all-encompassing Manager’s Guide and was in awe with the depth and scope of the work.) Then, the PC happened, a product category IBM initially seized, only to lose it by letting clones powered by Microsoft software flood the market and kill its margins.</p>\n<p>A decade later when the Internet and networked servers changed the game, IBM wasn’t ready and almost went bust, only to be saved by Lou Gerstner…at least for a while. Unfortunately, Gerstner’s successors were unable to harness the relentless growth of Cloud Computing, and now the company has fractured. The current CEO, Arvind Krishna, recently decided to split IBM into“Two Market-Leading Companies with Focused Strategies”. The larger entity keeps the IBM name, the smaller as yet unnamed company rids IBM of a low-margin, low hope, ferociously competitive IT infrastructure business.</p>\n<p>Microsoft offers an interesting counterexample of success after it made an historic, expensive miss. Late to the smartphone game, the company gave Nokia special licensing terms for its Windows Phone OS, only to see the partnership flounder. Despairing, Microsoft bought Nokia for $7.2B in 2013 and took a $7.6B writeoff two years later, followed by another $900M the following year. The clean-up job was left to Satya Nadella who took the reins from Steve Ballmer in 2014. Since then, Microsoft has prospered as the company has focused on software and Cloud services for organizations. As a part of that refocus the Microsoft stores, modeled after the Apple Store, have been shuttered.</p>\n<p>While these failure stories hold some lessons for Apple, some of them are actually reassuring.</p>\n<p>For example, it takes more than one substantial mistake for a large company to begin its decline. The Apple Maps debut and “Antennagate”, as examples, were embarrassing but didn’t do any lasting harm. To be sure, two mediocre iPhone vintages in succession would have a deleterious effect on image and finances, but even that could be survived, especially in today’s quasi-saturated market. And as the Microsoft example shows us, seriously missing an industry wave (smartphones) can be overcome by jumping on a new one (the Cloud aided by the Windows/Office flywheel). This may shed light on Apple’s efforts to give more momentum to the Services business, a flywheel in its own right.</p>\n<p>Apple’s iCloud is a different story. True, “cloud” is a very broad term and many of the company’s cloud services are so taken-for-granted as to be almost invisible. For example, iPhone photos live in the petabytes or exabytes of cloud storage that propagates nicely to users’ devices. The same is true for Music and more.</p>\n<p>While iCloud as a product has come a long way since the 2008 MobileMe, the&nbsp;Exchange For The Rest Of Us&nbsp;that&nbsp;embarrassed Steve Jobs, it’s often sluggish and buggy (even now as I attempt to use Pages “as we speak”). It lacks the power and polish that Google and Dropbox have to offer. That said, one shouldn’t expect Apple to offer iCloud services in the way that Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure do. In fact, Apple in part&nbsp;depends on AWS&nbsp;and others for its own infrastructure — a contentious internal topic.</p>\n<p>Apple’s record with Artificial Intelligence (another broad domain) is surely a sore point in the Board Room. Although the company was “there” first with Siri, the company watched as Google and Amazon surpassed them to become the leaders in Intelligent Assistant applications. In everyday life, one can see modest progress in Siri’s usefulness and pervasiveness, and we can hope Senior VP of Machine Learning and AI Strategy&nbsp;John Giannandrea, a Google alumnus with a distinguished résumé who joined Apple in 2018, will set things right.</p>\n<p>Apple’s strengths are not to be discounted when considering failure modes. Its hardware, software, and supply chain management is unrivaled. But let’s focus on a less lauded advantage, the power of its organizational structure.</p>\n<p>To simplify, there are no&nbsp;<i>divisions</i>&nbsp;at Apple, no iPhone, Mac, or AirPod “subcompany”. Instead, there are&nbsp;<i>functions</i>&nbsp;as sketched by the&nbsp;Apple Leadership&nbsp;chart (helpful job details are accessed when clicking on the names):</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b887dfe02642de363c4b17cc7f5e4f47\" tg-width=\"1050\" tg-height=\"1806\"></p>\n<p>When Apple develops a new product — I’ll avoid titillating possibilities — work is organized around<i>projects</i>. A project group is formed by drawing on functions such as Software Engineering, Operations, Hardware Technologies, and so on. Some team members, for activities such as Product Design or Operations, may work on more than one project. The group exists as long as the project exists and is disbanded if the product is canceled or put on the shelf.</p>\n<p>One of the things that beset HP was its divisional structure with the unavoidable rivalries, territorial disputes, and fights over resources. Customers, of course, don’t care about divisons, they care about products. Apple’s robust, flexible,<i>functional</i>organization helps everyone focus on products and customers.</p>\n<p>It’s an extremely valuable Steve Jobs legacy.</p>\n<p>Does this mean Apple is immune to large scale failure, that it won’t someday take the path HP or IBM did?</p>\n<p>No.</p>\n<p>In a quest for the next engine of growth, Apple could take big risks such as trying to enter the auto industry, either in a frontal assault against Tesla, Toyota, and “Deutsche AG” (German car makers), or in more original forms of individual mobility. Or it could be tempted by the humongous amounts of money spent on healthcare.</p>\n<p>And no matter how powerful its organizational structure is, Apple, like every company, is susceptible to personal mediocrity: Insecure B-grade managers hire C-grade players who won’t challenge their authority or their “expertise”, and products suffer as a result. We know the old organization joke: When upper layer people look down, they see brains; when brains in the lower layers look up, they see #$$holes. For an organization, the beginning of the end comes when the brains realize the upper layers are colonized by incompetents and get into Why Bother Mode. I don’t know enough about the company’s hiring and firing practices but, in my nervous mind, this is the biggest risk to Apple. From a distance, it’s impossible to know how hard Apple works to avoid a form of degenerative failure.</p>","source":"lsy1616663746307","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>Apple Failure Modes</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\">\nApple Failure Modes\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-25 17:15 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://mondaynote.com/apple-failure-modes-a5c9e1c9ffb0><strong>Medium</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Apple has avoided the types of failures that have beset so many tech giants.

Despairing, Microsoft bought Nokia for $7.2B in 2013 and took a $7.6B writeoff two years later, followed by another $900M the following year. The clean-up job was left to Satya Nadella who took the reins from Steve Ballmer in 2014. Since then, Microsoft has prospered as the company has focused on software and Cloud services for organizations. As a part of that refocus the Microsoft stores, modeled after the Apple Store, have been shuttered.\nWhile these failure stories hold some lessons for Apple, some of them are actually reassuring.\nFor example, it takes more than one substantial mistake for a large company to begin its decline. The Apple Maps debut and “Antennagate”, as examples, were embarrassing but didn’t do any lasting harm. To be sure, two mediocre iPhone vintages in succession would have a deleterious effect on image and finances, but even that could be survived, especially in today’s quasi-saturated market. And as the Microsoft example shows us, seriously missing an industry wave (smartphones) can be overcome by jumping on a new one (the Cloud aided by the Windows/Office flywheel). This may shed light on Apple’s efforts to give more momentum to the Services business, a flywheel in its own right.\nApple’s iCloud is a different story. True, “cloud” is a very broad term and many of the company’s cloud services are so taken-for-granted as to be almost invisible. For example, iPhone photos live in the petabytes or exabytes of cloud storage that propagates nicely to users’ devices. The same is true for Music and more.\nWhile iCloud as a product has come a long way since the 2008 MobileMe, the Exchange For The Rest Of Us that embarrassed Steve Jobs, it’s often sluggish and buggy (even now as I attempt to use Pages “as we speak”). It lacks the power and polish that Google and Dropbox have to offer. That said, one shouldn’t expect Apple to offer iCloud services in the way that Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure do. In fact, Apple in part depends on AWS and others for its own infrastructure — a contentious internal topic.\nApple’s record with Artificial Intelligence (another broad domain) is surely a sore point in the Board Room. Although the company was “there” first with Siri, the company watched as Google and Amazon surpassed them to become the leaders in Intelligent Assistant applications. In everyday life, one can see modest progress in Siri’s usefulness and pervasiveness, and we can hope Senior VP of Machine Learning and AI Strategy John Giannandrea, a Google alumnus with a distinguished résumé who joined Apple in 2018, will set things right.\nApple’s strengths are not to be discounted when considering failure modes. Its hardware, software, and supply chain management is unrivaled. But let’s focus on a less lauded advantage, the power of its organizational structure.\nTo simplify, there are no divisions at Apple, no iPhone, Mac, or AirPod “subcompany”. Instead, there are functions as sketched by the Apple Leadership chart (helpful job details are accessed when clicking on the names):\n\nWhen Apple develops a new product — I’ll avoid titillating possibilities — work is organized aroundprojects. A project group is formed by drawing on functions such as Software Engineering, Operations, Hardware Technologies, and so on. Some team members, for activities such as Product Design or Operations, may work on more than one project. The group exists as long as the project exists and is disbanded if the product is canceled or put on the shelf.\nOne of the things that beset HP was its divisional structure with the unavoidable rivalries, territorial disputes, and fights over resources. Customers, of course, don’t care about divisons, they care about products. Apple’s robust, flexible,functionalorganization helps everyone focus on products and customers.\nIt’s an extremely valuable Steve Jobs legacy.\nDoes this mean Apple is immune to large scale failure, that it won’t someday take the path HP or IBM did?\nNo.\nIn a quest for the next engine of growth, Apple could take big risks such as trying to enter the auto industry, either in a frontal assault against Tesla, Toyota, and “Deutsche AG” (German car makers), or in more original forms of individual mobility. Or it could be tempted by the humongous amounts of money spent on healthcare.\nAnd no matter how powerful its organizational structure is, Apple, like every company, is susceptible to personal mediocrity: Insecure B-grade managers hire C-grade players who won’t challenge their authority or their “expertise”, and products suffer as a result. We know the old organization joke: When upper layer people look down, they see brains; when brains in the lower layers look up, they see #$$holes. For an organization, the beginning of the end comes when the brains realize the upper layers are colonized by incompetents and get into Why Bother Mode. I don’t know enough about the company’s hiring and firing practices but, in my nervous mind, this is the biggest risk to Apple. From a distance, it’s impossible to know how hard Apple works to avoid a form of degenerative failure.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":285,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":113365469,"gmtCreate":1622594887551,"gmtModify":1704186920416,"author":{"id":"3578039715565156","authorId":"3578039715565156","name":"Ashaliphant","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a31fa041fdf8434c80ba7a87f80d7d28","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578039715565156","authorIdStr":"3578039715565156"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment pls!","listText":"Comment pls!","text":"Comment pls!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/113365469","repostId":"2140491365","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2140491365","pubTimestamp":1622587960,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2140491365?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-02 06:52","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Meme stock AMC extends rally, jumps more than 20% as theater chain sells new shares to an investor","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2140491365","media":"CNBC","summary":"Shares of AMC Entertainment surged again Tuesday after the theater chain sold more than 8 million shares to an investment firm, the latest in a series of capital raises for the struggling company turned meme stock.AMC said in a securities filing that it raised $230.5 million through a stock sale to Mudrick Capital Management.

The theater company said it would use the funds for potential acquisitions, upgrading its theaters and deleveraging its balance sheet.Shares were up 22.6% when the market closed.On Tuesday afternoon, Bloomberg News reported that Mudrick had sold all of its new shares in AMC. The stock fell from its highs of the day following the report.AMC’s business was effectively halted during the pandemic, with movie theaters shut in most of the country for months and major studios delaying releases during the pandemic. However, the stock becamea favorite of traders on Redditand has seen wild swings in recent months.The sharesdoubled last weekon incredibly high volume as the speculative activity by retail traders driven by message board chats ramped back up once again.The company has taken advantage of those price surges by selling additional shares to raise cash. The stock is up more than 1,000% year to date.“Given that AMC is raising hundreds of millions of dollars, this is an extremely positive result for our shareholders,” CEO and President Adam Aron said in a filing. “It was achieved through the issuance of only 8.5 million shares, representing less than 1.7% of our issued share capital and only a small portion of our typical daily trading volume.”The dramatic price swings could also be due to ashort squeezein the stock, which is caused by traders who have bet against the stock buying shares to limit their losses. Roughly 20% of the floated shares of the company are sold short, according to S3 Partners.AMC has around $5 billion in debt and needed to defer $450 million in lease repayments as its revenue largely dried up during the pandemic. Theaters were closed for months to help stop the spread of the virus, and when the company reopened its doors, few consumers felt comfortable attending screenings, and movie studios held back new releases.Now, as vaccination rates rise and the number of coronavirus cases decline, consumer confidence in returning to movie theaters has spiked. Not to mention, studios are finally releasing new content.Over the weekend, John Krasinski’s “A Quiet Place Part II,” the sequel to his 2018 blockbuster, garnered $48.4 million over Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the highest three-day haul of any film release during the pandemic.For the full four-day Memorial Day weekend, the North American box office tallied nearly $100 million in ticket sales.Still, while initial box-office receipts are promising, fundamental elements of the movie theater business have changed in the last year, including theater capacity, shared release dates with streaming services and the number of days that movies play in theaters.The securities filing from AMC, which closed Friday with a $11.8 billion market cap, also has a risk warning for investors: “Our market capitalization, as implied by various trading prices, currently reflects valuations that diverge significantly from those seen prior to recent volatility and that are significantly higher than our market capitalization immediately prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, and to the extent these valuations reflect trading dynamics unrelated to our financial performance or prospects, purchasers of our Class A common stock could incur substantial losses if there are declines in market prices driven by a return to earlier valuations.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":442,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3577076053545624","authorId":"3577076053545624","name":"ZacC","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fb3e0949f7f131c349ddc224589c2f90","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3577076053545624","authorIdStr":"3577076053545624"},"content":"here you go","text":"here you go","html":"here you go"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":119999410,"gmtCreate":1622511637530,"gmtModify":1704185349064,"author":{"id":"3578039715565156","authorId":"3578039715565156","name":"Ashaliphant","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a31fa041fdf8434c80ba7a87f80d7d28","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578039715565156","authorIdStr":"3578039715565156"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment [Cool]&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment [Cool]&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment [Cool]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/119999410","repostId":"1105273964","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1105273964","pubTimestamp":1622511256,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1105273964?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-01 09:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here Are the 11 Best Performing IPOs of the Year","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105273964","media":"Barron's","summary":"The market for initial public offerings has recently delivered some great first-day gains for investors who were able to get shares before the companies went public.That left us with 11 names.

We narrowed our search to companies with the highesttotal returns from their stock offering prices..That left us with 11 names. First up:CureVac(ticker: CVAC), which was the screen’s best-performing IPO and had a total return of 596.75%. CureVac specializes in the messenger RNA, or mRNA, technology that is the basis of several leading Covid-19 vaccine programs. The German biotech company went public inAugust at $16 a shareand soared 249% in its first day, with the stock closing at $55.90. In January, CureVacstruck a deal with Bayerto accelerate the development and supply of its Covid-19 vaccine candidate. The company’s mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccine is now in clinical trials, and Phase2b/3 data is expected this summer. Since its IPO, the stock has nearly doubled, closingFriday at $111.48 .Strong performances need not be dictated by success on the first day of trading. Four of the companies that made our list were busted deals—meaning that their shares fell below their IPO prices on the first day of trading.Case in point:ZIM Integrated Shipping(ZIM). The asset-light shipping company went public in January with a $15 offering price,but closed that day at $11.50. Yet by May 19, ZIM’s stockhad gained 295%after itreported first-quarter earnings of $589.6 million, or $5.35 a share. The companyalso declared a special cash dividend of $2 a share. ZIM is the second-best-performing IPO in the past 12 months, based on a total return of 209.33%, according to FactSet. It closed on Friday at $46.40.Another example isAcademy Sports & Outdoors(ASO): The companywent public in Octoberwith a $13 offering price, with the stock closing at $12.99 during its first day of public trading.Academy was profitable when it went public, a rarity in the IPO market. InMarch, the company reported that its net incomesoared 416%, to $91.5 million, or 97 cents a share, for its fourth fiscal quarter ended Jan. 30. Its shares have nearly tripled since the IPO, and were trading at $36.53 on Friday. Academy Sports ranks third with a total return from the offering price of 181%, FactSet said.Strong GainersThese companies all went public in the last year and produced high total returns compared to their IPO prices.Rounding out this category areCorsair Gaming(CRSR), a California companythat makes performance gear for gamers, and the Dubai-basedYalla Group(YALA), whichmakes a voice-chat app usedin the Middle East and North Africa called Yalla. Both stocks have rebounded strongly after less-than-stellar September IPOs.Some companies that made our list soared during their debuts, but have since seen their shares retreat. Still, these companies are producing gains.ConsiderBigCommerce(BIGC), which provides a cloud e-commerce platform that is used by such customers as SkullCandy, Savannah Bee Co, and the Cleveland Cavaliers.BigCommerce went public in Augustwith a $24 offering price—and the stock soared 201% that day,closing at $72.27. Since the IPO, the shares have fallen nearly 25%, amid a broader technology selloff.The company, however, has reported some positive developments, like a deal in February that wouldgive BigCommerce customersthe ability to sell directly on Walmart Marketplace. It also reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter results. BigCommerce has produced a total return of nearly 127%, according to FactSet.Other companies have seen their shares jump since going public.Dream Finders Homes (DFH), which designs, builds, and sells homes in high-growth markets, was already profitable when it made its trading debut in January at $13 a share. Shares soared 61%, $20.95 on its first day.Prices for houses in Marchgrew at the fastest rate since 2005, which has helped real estate stocks. Dream Finders stock has gained nearly 52% since its IPO, trading Friday at $31.77. Dream Finders notched a total return from offering price of 144.38%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":258,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3580339154925656","authorId":"3580339154925656","name":"BurLInG","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb3667a79457c78c526aa590dbae3901","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3580339154925656","authorIdStr":"3580339154925656"},"content":"Liked and commented","text":"Liked and commented","html":"Liked and commented"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":199776735,"gmtCreate":1620737554027,"gmtModify":1704347593884,"author":{"id":"3578039715565156","authorId":"3578039715565156","name":"Ashaliphant","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a31fa041fdf8434c80ba7a87f80d7d28","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578039715565156","authorIdStr":"3578039715565156"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmmmm","listText":"Hmmmm","text":"Hmmmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/199776735","repostId":"1145776494","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1145776494","pubTimestamp":1620728335,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1145776494?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-11 18:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"10 Beaten-Down Stocks That Could See a Rebound","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1145776494","media":"Barron's","summary":"Stocks have been rising in recent days, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average at its second-highest ","content":"<p>Stocks have been rising in recent days, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average at its second-highest close on record on Monday, but not every company is hitting records.</p><p>Over the past few months, investors have pulled back from expensive growth stocks to favor cyclical ones, with many high-flying growth names taking a hit.

This could be view positively or negatively. On the bright side, this suggests that price performance would become more predictable with lower volatility, indicative of a broadening consensus on the fundamental prospects of the company. On the other hand, traders may be disappointed its lack of momentum. Therefore, this is probably a good time to stop viewing XPEV as purely a trade, but re-analyze its merits as a fundamentally-driven investment.</p>\n<p><i>The frenetic performance of XPEV has calmed down in recent weeks, allowing its one year performance to track the S&amp;P 500 more closely</i></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9f04001d604ecc7892ef3a76c498578b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"236\"><span>Source: SeekingAlpha</span></p>\n<p><i>XPEV's G3 Super Long Range Smart SUV</i></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/68446a741f9f97afc10f2149c4e13e13\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"388\"><span>Source: XPeng Motors (G3、P7) Intelligent electric car with Internet DNA</span></p>\n<p><b>Industry and commercial positives</b></p>\n<p>Optimism on EVs and&nbsp;strong industry growth&nbsp;rates are common knowledge by now. The following points suggest specific positives for XPEV that remain intact despite relatively ebbing momentum on the stock's price (as compared to 4Q2020):</p>\n<ol>\n <li><b>Deliveries met despite fears on chip shortage.</b>While the stock's price momentum appears to have ebbed, recent news continues to remain positive. At an industry level, Chinese vehicle manufacturers XPEV andNIOmanaged to manufacture the expected numbers of vehicle deliveries, despite much feared chip shortages.XPEV chalked&nbsp;in record quarterly deliveries of 13,340 EVs in Q1 2021, +487% over the year and +130% over the month in March.NIO delivered&nbsp;20,060 +423% over the year while Q1 deliveries rose 15.6% to 20,060. The challenge these EV manufacturers face now is not so much the ability to deliver on its numbers, but on being able to meet high expectations for the stock price to gain further traction.</li>\n <li><b>Government support, China's creation of an EV ecosystem.</b>XPEV's strong deliveries describe not only excellent support from the private sector, but also the Chinese government's push to develop this part of its industry. XPEV has entered into an agreement with the city of Wuhan to build a factory with a capacity of 100,000 EV units. This is a very significant piece of news, considering its deliveries of just 5,102 in March 2021. Annualizing this number, the new capacity will be more than the whole of XPEV's total historical annual production. This news is interesting and significant since it was just released this week, suggesting it may have yet to be factored into analysts' forecast numbers. This is made more important as XPEV has always been considered a laggard in production capabilities to its larger cousin NIO. General Chinese government support for the EV ecosystem is strong, and the new facility in Wuhan echoes earlier provincial government financial support ($77m) in Guangdong. The reality is, for EVs to gain traction, government willingness to support infrastructure initiatives are highly important (e.g. permits for charging stations, creating incentives to convert from old polluting vehicles to green vehicles, etc.). With China's tradition of central planning, the EV ecosystem is placed on the right footing.</li>\n <li><b>Listing in Hong Kong adds to investor base and liquidity.</b>Going forward,XPEV,NIO, and&nbsp;LI&nbsp;intend tolistin Hong Kong this year. This is a strategic move, and makes the valuation of these companies less susceptible by US political bashing (e.g. the threat of being de-listed) should it occur, since it reflects a wider geographical base. The valuations of these companies may even get a boost given greater global liquidity due to added trading in the Asian time zone.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Of note, in late March, XPEV held an&nbsp;autonomous driving expedition&nbsp;covering eight cities in China and 3,675 kilometers. The exercise was successful, as minimal human intervention was needed during the expedition and adds another brownie point to XPEV's research and development efforts, placing XPEV on the&nbsp;competitive landscape&nbsp;against rivals such as TSLA and NIO on autonomous driving. Apparently, XPEV's autonomous driving results&nbsp;performed better&nbsp;than TSLA's with fewer human interventions per 100km and better navigation in complex situations.</p>\n<p><b>XPEV's improving financials</b></p>\n<p>Now that we have several quarters of financial data on XPEV, it is worth reviewing how its metrics have been performing. Firstly, market expectations aside, deliveries have been very good as abovementioned, and this is flowing through to revenue numbers. As shown in the below table, growth has been very strong, and revenues are expected to more than double in 2021 and continue to double in 2022. Such growth rates place XPEV at the top end of manufacturing firms, as expected of the fast-growing EV market.</p>\n<p>Another point to note is the improvement in operating margins. As with any \"new tech\" company, initial investments would cause hugely negative operating margins in the beginning. What's important is the company's ability to improve margins and reduce costs over time. In this respect, XPEV has done a good job, with operating margins improving sequentially each quarter. Of note, operating margins started to see major improvements between the Jun-2020 (-142%) and Dec-2020 (-39%) quarters as shown in the table below. Given this trend, the company is likely to breakeven and register positive profits soon, which could be a catalytic re-rating for XPEV. When we pair this analysis with the stock price, it appears that XPEV's recently soft stock price performance is not justified.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the balance sheet is expected to remain strong. Equity to total liabilities &amp; equity is 23% as at Dec-2020. As abovementioned, further capital raises with a forthcoming Hong Kong listing will add to XPEV's cash buffer.</p>\n<p><i>XPEV's performance improvement in both revenue and operating margin trends appear to have been ignored by the market due to recent the broad market capitulation</i></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f8258dce0cc10e8118a23afce7655bed\" tg-width=\"726\" tg-height=\"737\"><span>*EST = estimate by analysts' consensus from SeekingAlpha</span></p>\n<p><b>XPEV's valuation: somewhere in the middle</b></p>\n<p>XPEV's stock price has done well over the last 6 months versus peers.

This could be view positively or negatively. On the bright side, this suggests that price performance would become more predictable with lower volatility, indicative of a broadening consensus on the fundamental prospects of the company. On the other hand, traders may be disappointed its lack of momentum. Therefore, this is probably a good time to stop viewing XPEV as purely a trade, but re-analyze its merits as a fundamentally-driven investment.\nThe frenetic performance of XPEV has calmed down in recent weeks, allowing its one year performance to track the S&P 500 more closely\nSource: SeekingAlpha\nXPEV's G3 Super Long Range Smart SUV\nSource: XPeng Motors (G3、P7) Intelligent electric car with Internet DNA\nIndustry and commercial positives\nOptimism on EVs and strong industry growth rates are common knowledge by now. The following points suggest specific positives for XPEV that remain intact despite relatively ebbing momentum on the stock's price (as compared to 4Q2020):\n\nDeliveries met despite fears on chip shortage.While the stock's price momentum appears to have ebbed, recent news continues to remain positive. At an industry level, Chinese vehicle manufacturers XPEV andNIOmanaged to manufacture the expected numbers of vehicle deliveries, despite much feared chip shortages.XPEV chalked in record quarterly deliveries of 13,340 EVs in Q1 2021, +487% over the year and +130% over the month in March.NIO delivered 20,060 +423% over the year while Q1 deliveries rose 15.6% to 20,060. The challenge these EV manufacturers face now is not so much the ability to deliver on its numbers, but on being able to meet high expectations for the stock price to gain further traction.\nGovernment support, China's creation of an EV ecosystem.XPEV's strong deliveries describe not only excellent support from the private sector, but also the Chinese government's push to develop this part of its industry. XPEV has entered into an agreement with the city of Wuhan to build a factory with a capacity of 100,000 EV units. This is a very significant piece of news, considering its deliveries of just 5,102 in March 2021. Annualizing this number, the new capacity will be more than the whole of XPEV's total historical annual production. This news is interesting and significant since it was just released this week, suggesting it may have yet to be factored into analysts' forecast numbers. This is made more important as XPEV has always been considered a laggard in production capabilities to its larger cousin NIO. General Chinese government support for the EV ecosystem is strong, and the new facility in Wuhan echoes earlier provincial government financial support ($77m) in Guangdong. The reality is, for EVs to gain traction, government willingness to support infrastructure initiatives are highly important (e.g. permits for charging stations, creating incentives to convert from old polluting vehicles to green vehicles, etc.). With China's tradition of central planning, the EV ecosystem is placed on the right footing.\nListing in Hong Kong adds to investor base and liquidity.Going forward,XPEV,NIO, and LI intend tolistin Hong Kong this year. This is a strategic move, and makes the valuation of these companies less susceptible by US political bashing (e.g. the threat of being de-listed) should it occur, since it reflects a wider geographical base. The valuations of these companies may even get a boost given greater global liquidity due to added trading in the Asian time zone.\n\nOf note, in late March, XPEV held an autonomous driving expedition covering eight cities in China and 3,675 kilometers. The exercise was successful, as minimal human intervention was needed during the expedition and adds another brownie point to XPEV's research and development efforts, placing XPEV on the competitive landscape against rivals such as TSLA and NIO on autonomous driving. Apparently, XPEV's autonomous driving results performed better than TSLA's with fewer human interventions per 100km and better navigation in complex situations.\nXPEV's improving financials\nNow that we have several quarters of financial data on XPEV, it is worth reviewing how its metrics have been performing. Firstly, market expectations aside, deliveries have been very good as abovementioned, and this is flowing through to revenue numbers. As shown in the below table, growth has been very strong, and revenues are expected to more than double in 2021 and continue to double in 2022. Such growth rates place XPEV at the top end of manufacturing firms, as expected of the fast-growing EV market.\nAnother point to note is the improvement in operating margins. As with any \"new tech\" company, initial investments would cause hugely negative operating margins in the beginning. What's important is the company's ability to improve margins and reduce costs over time. In this respect, XPEV has done a good job, with operating margins improving sequentially each quarter. Of note, operating margins started to see major improvements between the Jun-2020 (-142%) and Dec-2020 (-39%) quarters as shown in the table below. Given this trend, the company is likely to breakeven and register positive profits soon, which could be a catalytic re-rating for XPEV. When we pair this analysis with the stock price, it appears that XPEV's recently soft stock price performance is not justified.\nMeanwhile, the balance sheet is expected to remain strong. Equity to total liabilities & equity is 23% as at Dec-2020. As abovementioned, further capital raises with a forthcoming Hong Kong listing will add to XPEV's cash buffer.\nXPEV's performance improvement in both revenue and operating margin trends appear to have been ignored by the market due to recent the broad market capitulation\n*EST = estimate by analysts' consensus from SeekingAlpha\nXPEV's valuation: somewhere in the middle\nXPEV's stock price has done well over the last 6 months versus peers. On a TTM P/S, XPEV is near the middle although its FWD P/S is trading at a premium. However, there could be a general re-rating of the P/S of the sector if the Chinese EV manufacturers reach breakeven in 2021 and record positive profits (our base case belief, given the prevailing trend in XPEV's improving operating margins). This will then allow better price discovery when the companies can then be valued on their P/E ratios.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConclusion and Risks\nXPEV's stock price may benefit from two key catalysts: (1) expansion of manufacturing facility in Wuhan, which will concretely raise visibility of revenue growth which is expected to double; (2) a valuation regime change as it progresses from a loss making company to a profitable one, expected by this year. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the valuation is not lofty as compared to price levels in 4Q2020, having fallen over the last couple of months.\nCompetition may exist and remain intense, but given the large size of China's market and that there are only a couple of notable players (i.e. NIO, LI), the market remains largely an oligopoly which allows XPEV to retain pricing power.\nMuch feared risks of execution in the past appear to have materialized but not in a big way, i.e. the previously expected chip shortage. Given the progression to a post-COVID economy, supply chain links should improve and reduce similar risks in the future.\nOn a standalone basis, XPEV's prospects appear bright, and now the key hurdle is whether the NASDAQ will find momentum and exceed previous highs. The base case for this should lean towards the positive as the market is merely in the first year of the economic recovery after the pandemic. Recent price consolidation appears to have created a technical setup for a reawakening of price momentum as consumer activity revives post-pandemic.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":250,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":355568022,"gmtCreate":1617086481366,"gmtModify":1704801777394,"author":{"id":"3578039715565156","authorId":"3578039715565156","name":"Ashaliphant","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a31fa041fdf8434c80ba7a87f80d7d28","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578039715565156","authorIdStr":"3578039715565156"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Oooooo","listText":"Oooooo","text":"Oooooo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/355568022","repostId":"1155381272","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155381272","pubTimestamp":1617084828,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1155381272?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-30 14:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple supplier Foxconn fourth quarter profit misses estimates","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155381272","media":"Reuters","summary":"TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan’s Foxconn, the world’s largest contract electronics maker which counts tec","content":"<p>TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan’s Foxconn, the world’s largest contract electronics maker which counts technology giants such as Apple Inc among its major clients, reported a fourth quarter profit on Tuesday that lagged market estimates.</p>\n<p>The Taiwanese firm reported October-December net profit of T$45.97 billion ($1.61 billion), down 4% compared with the year ago period, the company said in a statement.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Some of the highlights included the doubling of services and wearables revenues in five years, the 5G super cycle, the greenfield Apple Car opportunity, and an acceleration in share repurchases.</p>\n<p>Now, I look at the flip side of the coin. How would one support the most bearish argument on Apple shares? At least one analyst has compiled a laundry list of items that makes him fear for a 35% drop in the stock price from current levels.</p>\n<p><b>Apple might be too hyped</b></p>\n<p>Goldman Sach’s Rod Hall is one of those very rare Apple analysts that maintain a sell rating on the stock. While I have not come across research from him that is more recent thanlate January, most of his bearish points still seem relevant today.</p>\n<p>For starters, Goldman does not seem impressed with the near-term smartphone opportunity. According to the research shop, the iPhone 12 resembles a “redesign cycle” rather thana more meaningful “5G super cycle”. As a result, iPhone replacement rates should be low in 2021.</p>\n<p>Still on the same subject, Goldman projects ASP (average selling price) to come down this year, as buyers shift to cheaper models like the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 11. Here,recent data points have been suggesting the opposite: the mini seems to be the biggest loser within the product portfolio, while the Pro and Pro Max have been performing above expectations.</p>\n<p>Also, Mr. Hall does not seethe Apple Car opportunityas a profitable initiative.Accordingto him:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “The auto industry has generally lower gross margins than Apple's own current businesses. Tesla's gross margins are about 20%, compared to Apple's 40%. Operating margins are even lower, typically in the high single digits. Even in optimistic scenarios, the release of a production Apple Car is likely to have only a minor impact on Apple's bottom line.”\n</blockquote>\n<p>Lastly, the analyst believes that the end of the COVID-19 crisis will trigger a discretionary spending shift from tech devices (iPhones, Macs) to away-from-home services (travel and leisure). This could be a negative catalyst for the stock in 2021.</p>\n<p><b>The Apple Maven’s take</b></p>\n<p>In my opinion, the market is not the place to cheer for or against a stock. This is what sports arenas are for (after the pandemic is over, of course). So, I think that even the most confident of Apple investors should pay attention to the bearish case on the stock, and think through the arguments critically.</p>\n<p>I think Goldman raises good points about the hype around the 5G super cycle and the Apple Car. Whether either can push Apple’s financial results significantly above current consensus remains to be seen. Meanwhile, the stockseems to have already priced some of the upside.</p>\n<p>I also understand the risk in discretionary spending migrating away from tech hardware, software and services. Just as an example,air travel bookings for the summer seasonhave already started to climb fast. Where will the money to cover these costs come from? A brand-new iPad could be one answer.</p>\n<p>Still, the Apple Maven sees more upside to investing in Apple at current levels than downside risk. In addition to the bullish points on the business fundamentals,the valuation floor and dip-buying opportunityincreases the probability that an investment in Apple today will pay off in the long term.</p>\n<p><b>Twitter speaks</b></p>\n<p>The most bullish analysts say that Apple could head to $225 per share, under the rosiest scenario.

Some of the highlights included the doubling of services and wearables revenues in five years, the 5G super cycle, the greenfield Apple Car opportunity, and an acceleration in share repurchases.\nNow, I look at the flip side of the coin. How would one support the most bearish argument on Apple shares? At least one analyst has compiled a laundry list of items that makes him fear for a 35% drop in the stock price from current levels.\nApple might be too hyped\nGoldman Sach’s Rod Hall is one of those very rare Apple analysts that maintain a sell rating on the stock. While I have not come across research from him that is more recent thanlate January, most of his bearish points still seem relevant today.\nFor starters, Goldman does not seem impressed with the near-term smartphone opportunity. According to the research shop, the iPhone 12 resembles a “redesign cycle” rather thana more meaningful “5G super cycle”. As a result, iPhone replacement rates should be low in 2021.\nStill on the same subject, Goldman projects ASP (average selling price) to come down this year, as buyers shift to cheaper models like the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 11. Here,recent data points have been suggesting the opposite: the mini seems to be the biggest loser within the product portfolio, while the Pro and Pro Max have been performing above expectations.\nAlso, Mr. Hall does not seethe Apple Car opportunityas a profitable initiative.Accordingto him:\n\n “The auto industry has generally lower gross margins than Apple's own current businesses. Tesla's gross margins are about 20%, compared to Apple's 40%. Operating margins are even lower, typically in the high single digits. Even in optimistic scenarios, the release of a production Apple Car is likely to have only a minor impact on Apple's bottom line.”\n\nLastly, the analyst believes that the end of the COVID-19 crisis will trigger a discretionary spending shift from tech devices (iPhones, Macs) to away-from-home services (travel and leisure). This could be a negative catalyst for the stock in 2021.\nThe Apple Maven’s take\nIn my opinion, the market is not the place to cheer for or against a stock. This is what sports arenas are for (after the pandemic is over, of course). So, I think that even the most confident of Apple investors should pay attention to the bearish case on the stock, and think through the arguments critically.\nI think Goldman raises good points about the hype around the 5G super cycle and the Apple Car. Whether either can push Apple’s financial results significantly above current consensus remains to be seen. Meanwhile, the stockseems to have already priced some of the upside.\nI also understand the risk in discretionary spending migrating away from tech hardware, software and services. Just as an example,air travel bookings for the summer seasonhave already started to climb fast. Where will the money to cover these costs come from? A brand-new iPad could be one answer.\nStill, the Apple Maven sees more upside to investing in Apple at current levels than downside risk. In addition to the bullish points on the business fundamentals,the valuation floor and dip-buying opportunityincreases the probability that an investment in Apple today will pay off in the long term.\nTwitter speaks\nThe most bullish analysts say that Apple could head to $225 per share, under the rosiest scenario. The most bearish of them says “not so fast”, and sees 35% downside risk.

Iceland and Bulgaria followed suit and Ireland and the Netherlands announced suspensions on Sunday.</p>\n<p>Spain will stop using the vaccine for at least 15 days, Cadena Ser radio reported, citing unnamed sources.</p>\n<p>The top WHO scientist reiterated on Monday that there have been no documented deaths linked to COVID-19 vaccines.</p>\n<p>“We do not want people to panic,” Soumya Swaminathan said on a virtual media briefing, adding there has been no association, so far, pinpointed between so-called “thromboembolic events” reported in some countries and COVID-19 shots.</p>\n<p>WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said an advisory committee meeting on AstraZeneca would be held on Tuesday. EU medicines regulator EMA will also convene this week to assess the information gathered into whether the AstraZeneca shot contributed to thromboembolic events in those inoculated.</p>\n<p>The moves by some of Europe’s largest and most populous countries will deepen concerns about the slow rollout of vaccines in the region, which has been plagued by shortages due to problems producing vaccines, including AstraZeneca’s.</p>\n<p>Germany warned last week it was facing a third wave of infections, Italy is intensifying lockdowns and hospitals in the Paris region are close to being overloaded.</p>\n<p>German Health Minister Jens Spahn said that although the risk of blood clots was low, it could not be ruled out.</p>\n<p>“This is a professional decision, not a political one,” Spahn said, adding he was following a recommendation of the Paul Ehrlich Institute, Germany’s vaccine regulator.</p>\n<p>France said it was suspending the vaccine’s use pending an assessment by EMA.</p>\n<p>“The decision taken, in conformity also with our European policy, is to suspend, out of precaution, vaccination with the AZ shot, hoping that we can resume quickly if the EMA’s guidance allows,” French President Emmanuel Macron said.</p>\n<p>Italy said its halt was a “precautionary and temporary measure” pending EMA’s ruling.</p>\n<p>“The EMA will meet soon to clarify any doubts so that the AstraZeneca vaccine can be resumed safely in the vaccination campaign as soon as possible,” said Gianni Rezza, Director General of Prevention at Italy’s Ministry of Health.</p>\n<p>Austria and Spain have stopped using particular batches and prosecutors in the northern Italian region of Piedmont earlier seized 393,600 doses following the death of a man hours after he was vaccinated. It was the second region to do so after Sicily, where two people had died shortly after having their shots.</p>\n<p>The WHO appealed to countries not to suspend vaccinations against a disease that has caused more than 2.7 million deaths worldwide. WHO Director-General Tedros said systems were in place to protect public health.</p>\n<p>“This does not necessarily mean these events are linked to COVID-19 vaccination, but it’s routine practice to investigate them, and it shows that the surveillance system works and that effective controls are in place,” he told the media briefing.</p>\n<p>The United Kingdom said it had no concerns, while Poland said it thought the benefits outweighed any risks.</p>\n<p>The EMA has said that as of March 10, a total of 30 cases of blood clotting had been reported among close to 5 million people vaccinated with the AstraZeneca shot in the European Economic Area, which links 30 European countries.</p>\n<p>Michael Head, a senior research fellow in global health at the University of Southampton, said the decisions by France, Germany and others looked baffling.</p>\n<p>“The data we have suggests that numbers of adverse events related to blood clots are the same (and possibly, in fact lower) in vaccinated groups compared to unvaccinated populations,” he said, adding that halting a vaccination programme had consequences.</p>\n<p>“This results in delays in protecting people, and the potential for increased vaccine hesitancy, as a result of people who have seen the headlines and understandably become concerned. There are no signs yet of any data that really justify these decisions.”</p>\n<p>A senior German infectious diseases physician, however, said the background incidence of 2-5 thromboses per million per year was significantly lower than the number of 7 out of 1.6 million vaccinated people cited by Germany’s health ministry.</p>\n<p>“This should be the reason to suspend the vaccination in Germany until all cases, including suspected cases in Germany and Europe, have been completely cleared up,” said Clemens Wendtner, head of the special unit for highly contagious life threatening infections at the Schwabing Clinic in Munich.</p>\n<p><b>‘UNUSUAL’ SYMPTOMS</b></p>\n<p>AstraZeneca’s shot was among the first and cheapest to be developed and launched at volume since the coronavirus was first identified in central China at the end of 2019, and is set to be the mainstay of vaccination programmes in much of the developing world.</p>\n<p>Thailand announced plans on Monday to go ahead with the Anglo-Swedish firm’s shot after suspending its use on Friday, but Indonesia said it would wait for the WHO to report.</p>\n<p>The WHO said its advisory panel was reviewing reports related to the shot and would release its findings as soon as possible. But it said it was unlikely to change its recommendations, issued last month, for widespread use, including in countries where the South African variant of the virus may reduce its efficacy.</p>\n<p>The EMA has also said there was no indication the events were caused by the vaccination and that the number of reported blood clots was no higher than seen in the general population.</p>\n<p>But the handful of reported side-effects in Europe have upset vaccination programmes already stumbling over slow rollouts and vaccine scepticism in some countries.</p>\n<p>The Netherlands said on Monday it had seen 10 cases of possible noteworthy adverse side-effects from the AstraZeneca shot, hours after putting its vaccination programme on hold following reports of potential side-effects in other countries.</p>\n<p>Recent information indicates “a very special, rarely occurring form of thrombosis, of which some cases appear to have occurred shortly after vaccination. This is of course suspicious and should be investigated,” said Anke Huckriede, vaccinology professor at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.</p>\n<p>Denmark reported “highly unusual” symptoms in a 60-year-old citizen who died from a blood clot after receiving the vaccine, the same phrase used on Saturday by Norway about three people under the age of 50 it said were being treated in hospital.</p>\n<p>One of the three health workers hospitalised in Norway after receiving the AstraZeneca shot had died, health authorities said on Monday, but there was no evidence the vaccine was the cause.</p>\n<p>AstraZeneca said earlier it had conducted a review covering more than 17 million people vaccinated in the EU and the UK which had shown no evidence of an increased risk of blood clots.</p>\n<p>Long-awaited results from AstraZeneca’s 30,000-person U.S. vaccine trial are now being reviewed by independent monitors to determine whether the shot is safe and effective, a top U.S. official said on Monday.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Iceland and Bulgaria followed suit and Ireland and the Netherlands announced suspensions on Sunday.\nSpain will stop using the vaccine for at least 15 days, Cadena Ser radio reported, citing unnamed sources.\nThe top WHO scientist reiterated on Monday that there have been no documented deaths linked to COVID-19 vaccines.\n“We do not want people to panic,” Soumya Swaminathan said on a virtual media briefing, adding there has been no association, so far, pinpointed between so-called “thromboembolic events” reported in some countries and COVID-19 shots.\nWHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said an advisory committee meeting on AstraZeneca would be held on Tuesday. EU medicines regulator EMA will also convene this week to assess the information gathered into whether the AstraZeneca shot contributed to thromboembolic events in those inoculated.\nThe moves by some of Europe’s largest and most populous countries will deepen concerns about the slow rollout of vaccines in the region, which has been plagued by shortages due to problems producing vaccines, including AstraZeneca’s.\nGermany warned last week it was facing a third wave of infections, Italy is intensifying lockdowns and hospitals in the Paris region are close to being overloaded.\nGerman Health Minister Jens Spahn said that although the risk of blood clots was low, it could not be ruled out.\n“This is a professional decision, not a political one,” Spahn said, adding he was following a recommendation of the Paul Ehrlich Institute, Germany’s vaccine regulator.\nFrance said it was suspending the vaccine’s use pending an assessment by EMA.\n“The decision taken, in conformity also with our European policy, is to suspend, out of precaution, vaccination with the AZ shot, hoping that we can resume quickly if the EMA’s guidance allows,” French President Emmanuel Macron said.\nItaly said its halt was a “precautionary and temporary measure” pending EMA’s ruling.\n“The EMA will meet soon to clarify any doubts so that the AstraZeneca vaccine can be resumed safely in the vaccination campaign as soon as possible,” said Gianni Rezza, Director General of Prevention at Italy’s Ministry of Health.\nAustria and Spain have stopped using particular batches and prosecutors in the northern Italian region of Piedmont earlier seized 393,600 doses following the death of a man hours after he was vaccinated. It was the second region to do so after Sicily, where two people had died shortly after having their shots.\nThe WHO appealed to countries not to suspend vaccinations against a disease that has caused more than 2.7 million deaths worldwide. WHO Director-General Tedros said systems were in place to protect public health.\n“This does not necessarily mean these events are linked to COVID-19 vaccination, but it’s routine practice to investigate them, and it shows that the surveillance system works and that effective controls are in place,” he told the media briefing.\nThe United Kingdom said it had no concerns, while Poland said it thought the benefits outweighed any risks.\nThe EMA has said that as of March 10, a total of 30 cases of blood clotting had been reported among close to 5 million people vaccinated with the AstraZeneca shot in the European Economic Area, which links 30 European countries.\nMichael Head, a senior research fellow in global health at the University of Southampton, said the decisions by France, Germany and others looked baffling.\n“The data we have suggests that numbers of adverse events related to blood clots are the same (and possibly, in fact lower) in vaccinated groups compared to unvaccinated populations,” he said, adding that halting a vaccination programme had consequences.\n“This results in delays in protecting people, and the potential for increased vaccine hesitancy, as a result of people who have seen the headlines and understandably become concerned. There are no signs yet of any data that really justify these decisions.”\nA senior German infectious diseases physician, however, said the background incidence of 2-5 thromboses per million per year was significantly lower than the number of 7 out of 1.6 million vaccinated people cited by Germany’s health ministry.\n“This should be the reason to suspend the vaccination in Germany until all cases, including suspected cases in Germany and Europe, have been completely cleared up,” said Clemens Wendtner, head of the special unit for highly contagious life threatening infections at the Schwabing Clinic in Munich.\n‘UNUSUAL’ SYMPTOMS\nAstraZeneca’s shot was among the first and cheapest to be developed and launched at volume since the coronavirus was first identified in central China at the end of 2019, and is set to be the mainstay of vaccination programmes in much of the developing world.\nThailand announced plans on Monday to go ahead with the Anglo-Swedish firm’s shot after suspending its use on Friday, but Indonesia said it would wait for the WHO to report.\nThe WHO said its advisory panel was reviewing reports related to the shot and would release its findings as soon as possible. But it said it was unlikely to change its recommendations, issued last month, for widespread use, including in countries where the South African variant of the virus may reduce its efficacy.\nThe EMA has also said there was no indication the events were caused by the vaccination and that the number of reported blood clots was no higher than seen in the general population.\nBut the handful of reported side-effects in Europe have upset vaccination programmes already stumbling over slow rollouts and vaccine scepticism in some countries.\nThe Netherlands said on Monday it had seen 10 cases of possible noteworthy adverse side-effects from the AstraZeneca shot, hours after putting its vaccination programme on hold following reports of potential side-effects in other countries.\nRecent information indicates “a very special, rarely occurring form of thrombosis, of which some cases appear to have occurred shortly after vaccination. This is of course suspicious and should be investigated,” said Anke Huckriede, vaccinology professor at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.\nDenmark reported “highly unusual” symptoms in a 60-year-old citizen who died from a blood clot after receiving the vaccine, the same phrase used on Saturday by Norway about three people under the age of 50 it said were being treated in hospital.\nOne of the three health workers hospitalised in Norway after receiving the AstraZeneca shot had died, health authorities said on Monday, but there was no evidence the vaccine was the cause.\nAstraZeneca said earlier it had conducted a review covering more than 17 million people vaccinated in the EU and the UK which had shown no evidence of an increased risk of blood clots.\nLong-awaited results from AstraZeneca’s 30,000-person U.S. vaccine trial are now being reviewed by independent monitors to determine whether the shot is safe and effective, a top U.S. official said on Monday.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":299,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":322965407,"gmtCreate":1615768022609,"gmtModify":1704786178626,"author":{"id":"3578039715565156","authorId":"3578039715565156","name":"Ashaliphant","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a31fa041fdf8434c80ba7a87f80d7d28","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578039715565156","authorIdStr":"3578039715565156"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Watching&nbsp;","listText":"Watching&nbsp;","text":"Watching","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/322965407","repostId":"1155155337","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155155337","pubTimestamp":1615765765,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1155155337?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-15 07:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Pinduoduo, Nike,AMD, Lennar, and Other Stocks for Investors to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155155337","media":"Barrons","summary":"The earnings calendar is sparse this week.

WWDC is generally used to unveil updates to the company’s various operating systems—MacOS for Macs, iOS for the iPhone, WatchOS for Apple Watch, tvOS for Apple TV set-top boxes, and iPadOS, a variation of iOS for iPads.</p><p>New hardware announcements are possible, but the exception to the rule. This is, after all, an event for software developers.</p><p>Last year,Apple (ticker: AAPL) also used the event to unveil the M1 processor, a chip designed by the company that has replacedIntelparts in some MacBooks and iPads. By the time the announcement came, the launch had been widely anticipated by analysts and media.</p><p>There’s not nearly as much buzz heading into this year’s event, but Apple still manages to provide surprises. Expect a few this year.</p><p>Wedbush analyst Dan Ives expects the focus to be on the usual range of operating-system updates, including&nbsp;iOS 15, which he thinks will include new privacy protections, notification and lock-screen updates, and some new features in iMessage. As Ives noted, the most recent update to the iPhone software,iOS 14.5, includes an opt-in feature for tracking consumer behavior that has infuriated&nbsp;Facebook(FB) and other companies that rely on that data to target advertising.</p><p>Ives also thinks Apple will unveil new MacBook Pros at both 14-inch and 16-inch screen sizes, both driven by the M1 chip. He thinks Apple will wait until next summer to launch Apple Glasses, an expected augmented-reality product. He foresees a 2024 arrival for Apple Car.</p><p>Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty pointed out in a research note that WWDC historically hasn’t given a boost to Apple shares. Over the past 10 years, she wrote, the stock on average has underperformed the&nbsp;S&amp;P 500&nbsp;by a little over a percentage point in both the week and two weeks immediately following the event.</p><p>Over the past year, though, the stock has responded more strongly to WWDC, Huberty said. She sees some potential for a positive response by investors this time, in particular if there are significant hardware announcements.</p><p>“While we expect the majority of software/operating system upgrades to be more evolutionary than last year, we do believe Apple will highlight efforts to broaden the use of in-house designed silicon, and potentially launch a new MacBook with the Apple silicon, making this year’s WWDC a potentially more significant catalyst than years past,” Huberty wrote.</p><p>As Huberty noted,<i>Nikkei Asia</i>&nbsp;reported in April&nbsp;that&nbsp;Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM) has been in mass production on the successor to the M1, which seems to be called the&nbsp;M2. She sees a possibility that Apple will unveil the first M2-powered Macs at the event.</p><p>Huberty remains bullish on the Mac business,which grew 70% in the March quarter&nbsp;amid widespread demand for laptops during the pandemic. She estimates that Apple had 7.7% of the PC market in calendar 2020 and sees potential for Apple’s slice of the pie to expand to be comparable to the company’s 16% share in the smartphone market.

WWDC is generally used to unveil updates to the company’s various operating systems—MacOS for Macs, iOS for the iPhone, WatchOS for Apple Watch, tvOS for Apple TV set-top boxes, and iPadOS, a variation of iOS for iPads.New hardware announcements are possible, but the exception to the rule. This is, after all, an event for software developers.Last year,Apple (ticker: AAPL) also used the event to unveil the M1 processor, a chip designed by the company that has replacedIntelparts in some MacBooks and iPads. By the time the announcement came, the launch had been widely anticipated by analysts and media.There’s not nearly as much buzz heading into this year’s event, but Apple still manages to provide surprises. Expect a few this year.Wedbush analyst Dan Ives expects the focus to be on the usual range of operating-system updates, including iOS 15, which he thinks will include new privacy protections, notification and lock-screen updates, and some new features in iMessage. As Ives noted, the most recent update to the iPhone software,iOS 14.5, includes an opt-in feature for tracking consumer behavior that has infuriated Facebook(FB) and other companies that rely on that data to target advertising.Ives also thinks Apple will unveil new MacBook Pros at both 14-inch and 16-inch screen sizes, both driven by the M1 chip. He thinks Apple will wait until next summer to launch Apple Glasses, an expected augmented-reality product. He foresees a 2024 arrival for Apple Car.Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty pointed out in a research note that WWDC historically hasn’t given a boost to Apple shares. Over the past 10 years, she wrote, the stock on average has underperformed the S&P 500 by a little over a percentage point in both the week and two weeks immediately following the event.Over the past year, though, the stock has responded more strongly to WWDC, Huberty said. She sees some potential for a positive response by investors this time, in particular if there are significant hardware announcements.“While we expect the majority of software/operating system upgrades to be more evolutionary than last year, we do believe Apple will highlight efforts to broaden the use of in-house designed silicon, and potentially launch a new MacBook with the Apple silicon, making this year’s WWDC a potentially more significant catalyst than years past,” Huberty wrote.As Huberty noted,Nikkei Asia reported in April that Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM) has been in mass production on the successor to the M1, which seems to be called the M2. She sees a possibility that Apple will unveil the first M2-powered Macs at the event.Huberty remains bullish on the Mac business,which grew 70% in the March quarter amid widespread demand for laptops during the pandemic. She estimates that Apple had 7.7% of the PC market in calendar 2020 and sees potential for Apple’s slice of the pie to expand to be comparable to the company’s 16% share in the smartphone market. If that happens, she said, Macs alone could be a $68 billion run-rate business by 2025, more than double its current size.As for updates to the various Apple operating systems, Huberty pointed to a Bloomberg story in April that said the company was planning to update how iOS handles notifications, a new iPad home screen, an updated lock screen, and various privacy updates.On Friday, Apple shares rallied about 1.9%, to $125.89. The stock is down about 5% year to date but up about 43% since last year’s WWDC.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":383,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":110257737,"gmtCreate":1622463635929,"gmtModify":1704184760291,"author":{"id":"3578039715565156","authorId":"3578039715565156","name":"Ashaliphant","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a31fa041fdf8434c80ba7a87f80d7d28","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578039715565156","authorIdStr":"3578039715565156"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmmm","listText":"Hmmm","text":"Hmmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/110257737","repostId":"1111741562","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1111741562","pubTimestamp":1622461325,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1111741562?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-31 19:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here are 5 stock picks for the summer as the market gets tricky","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1111741562","media":"CNBC","summary":"Stock picking will be needed this summer as breadth narrows and the market has already priced in muc","content":"<div>\n<p>Stock picking will be needed this summer as breadth narrows and the market has already priced in much of the economic recovery, according to research firm Cornerstone Macro.\n“We continue to expect a ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/29/here-are-5-stock-picks-for-the-summer-as-the-market-gets-tricky.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;

Companies on the firm’s list are growing earnings more than expected, and their shares are relatively cheap based on the amount of cash they’re making. These firms are also highly productive, doing the most work for the lowest cost, as concerns about inflation persist. The researcher picked shares that have proven successful even when the overall market remains choppy\nTake a look at five of Cornerstone Macro’s summer stock picks:\n\nBig Tech stockshave struggled recently, with shares of Amazon and Apple down about 7% and 5%, respectively, this month. But Google-parent Alphabet made Cornerstone Macro’s list of stock picks.\nCNBC’s Jim Cramer believes Alphabet shares, up 35% this year, have more room to run.Cramer said Wednesday that Google’s reported new partnership with hospital chain HCA Healthcare is the latest good news for Alphabet shares.\nCosmetics company Estée Lauder is one of Cornerstone Macro’s stock picks. As demand for beauty products increases with mask mandates easing and the economy reopening, Cornerstone Macro believes Estée Lauder shares are poised to outperform this summer.\nCornerstone Macro also predicted shares of auto parts retailer AutoZone will reap returns in 2021. AutoZone’s latest quarterly earnings results on Tuesday solidly beat the Street’s expectations on its top and bottom lines. The company’s shares are up 21% in the last three months.\nAs stock picking returns, Cornerstone Macro expects these shares to outshine their peers.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":285,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":109655922,"gmtCreate":1619694472466,"gmtModify":1704728116302,"author":{"id":"3578039715565156","authorId":"3578039715565156","name":"Ashaliphant","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a31fa041fdf8434c80ba7a87f80d7d28","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578039715565156","authorIdStr":"3578039715565156"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Woohoo","listText":"Woohoo","text":"Woohoo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/109655922","repostId":"1198510299","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1198510299","pubTimestamp":1619686706,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1198510299?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-29 16:58","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple's Earnings Smasher: No Room For Bearishness","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1198510299","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Apple delivered flawless fiscal second quarter results across its product portfolio and geographical segments.The earnings smasher was further enabled by easy comps and lingering stay-at-home tailwinds.Apple is approaching all-time highs.

In my view, the bar was set high enough. Bullishness would most likely be triggered, if at all, by (1) reinstatement of guidance and/or (2) lavish cash return to shareholders, in the form of higher dividends or share repurchases.</p>\n<p>Yes, Apple provided partial guidance for fiscal third quarter, and both the dividend and buyback programs were boosted. But what impressed the most, in my opinion, was the extent of&nbsp;Apple's Q2 beat.</p>\n<p>The company's performance bordered \"unbelievable,\" as Morgan Stanley's analyst pointed out during the conference call. With a historic earnings smasher, Apple made sure to leave no room for post-earnings bearishness.</p>\n<p><b>Earnings crusher</b></p>\n<p>Analyzing Apple's results was relatively easy this time. Virtually all metrics climbed substantially YOY – from total company and per-segment revenues to margins, earnings and cash flow. There was virtually no bad news to speak of.</p>\n<p>Below are the highlights of Apple's results, delivered on April 28. To the best of my knowledge, none of the figures below are typos, as much as they might seem to be.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ca500cb00a59b1562e20ea213f11050\" tg-width=\"595\" tg-height=\"189\"><span>Source: DM Martins Research, data from company report</span></p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>iPhone</b>&nbsp;growth of 66%, supported primarily by the strong performance of the Pro and Pro Max models;</li>\n <li><b>iPad</b>&nbsp;growth of 79%, which compares favorably to Microsoft's (MSFT) 12% increase in Surface revenues and the broad industry's&nbsp;projected&nbsp;double-digit decline in tablet unit sales in first calendar quarter;</li>\n <li><b>Mac</b>&nbsp;growth of 70%, a result of (1) a strong lineup of M1-equipped devices and (2) stay-at-home trends still playing a crucial role in global markets, particularly Europe;</li>\n <li><b>Services</b>&nbsp;growth of 27% that, contrary to popular belief, accelerated compared to pre-pandemic levels;</li>\n <li><b>Greater China</b>&nbsp;growth of 87%, due in part to the country being ahead in the COVID-19 cycle, definitely turning this market from a 2015-2020 loser into a winner over the past six months;</li>\n <li><b>Gross margin</b>&nbsp;expansion of over four percentage points due to cost savings and favorable mix;</li>\n <li><b>Op margin</b>&nbsp;expansion of more than eight percentage points due to gross margin increase and gains of scale.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>To be fair, a few one-off factors may have helped to turn an otherwise strong second quarter into a record-shattering one. The odd timing in the launch of the iPhone 12 in 2020 created a revenue gap in the holiday period that is still being smoothed out today. Also, COVID-19 has lasted longer than some may have wished in parts of the world, extending the stay-at-home tailwinds.</p>\n<p><b>Stock is cheap again</b></p>\n<p>With impressive results under the belt, Apple climbed modestly after the closing bell. Between the regular and after-hours trading sessions, the stock gained about 1.5%, pushing shares closer to their all-time high of $143.</p>\n<p>Despite the small earnings day gains, Apple exits this season a more affordable stock. The math is fairly simple:</p>\n<ol>\n <li>The monstrous 42-cent Q2 EPS beat alone should push fiscal 2021 consensus higher, to $4.87;</li>\n <li>Guidance for Q3 was incomplete, but I conservatively estimate that it points at another 20-cent gap to consensus, at least.

But, due to substantially higher 2021 projected EPS, I estimate that P/E has dipped to pre-pandemic levels.\n\nPhoto by Drew Angerer/Getty Images News via Getty Images\nIn my earnings preview, I sounded skeptical that Apple (AAPL) could see its stock climb solely on the back of above consensus fiscal second quarter results. In my view, the bar was set high enough. Bullishness would most likely be triggered, if at all, by (1) reinstatement of guidance and/or (2) lavish cash return to shareholders, in the form of higher dividends or share repurchases.\nYes, Apple provided partial guidance for fiscal third quarter, and both the dividend and buyback programs were boosted. But what impressed the most, in my opinion, was the extent of Apple's Q2 beat.\nThe company's performance bordered \"unbelievable,\" as Morgan Stanley's analyst pointed out during the conference call. With a historic earnings smasher, Apple made sure to leave no room for post-earnings bearishness.\nEarnings crusher\nAnalyzing Apple's results was relatively easy this time. Virtually all metrics climbed substantially YOY – from total company and per-segment revenues to margins, earnings and cash flow. There was virtually no bad news to speak of.\nBelow are the highlights of Apple's results, delivered on April 28. To the best of my knowledge, none of the figures below are typos, as much as they might seem to be.\nSource: DM Martins Research, data from company report\n\niPhone growth of 66%, supported primarily by the strong performance of the Pro and Pro Max models;\niPad growth of 79%, which compares favorably to Microsoft's (MSFT) 12% increase in Surface revenues and the broad industry's projected double-digit decline in tablet unit sales in first calendar quarter;\nMac growth of 70%, a result of (1) a strong lineup of M1-equipped devices and (2) stay-at-home trends still playing a crucial role in global markets, particularly Europe;\nServices growth of 27% that, contrary to popular belief, accelerated compared to pre-pandemic levels;\nGreater China growth of 87%, due in part to the country being ahead in the COVID-19 cycle, definitely turning this market from a 2015-2020 loser into a winner over the past six months;\nGross margin expansion of over four percentage points due to cost savings and favorable mix;\nOp margin expansion of more than eight percentage points due to gross margin increase and gains of scale.\n\nTo be fair, a few one-off factors may have helped to turn an otherwise strong second quarter into a record-shattering one. The odd timing in the launch of the iPhone 12 in 2020 created a revenue gap in the holiday period that is still being smoothed out today. Also, COVID-19 has lasted longer than some may have wished in parts of the world, extending the stay-at-home tailwinds.\nStock is cheap again\nWith impressive results under the belt, Apple climbed modestly after the closing bell. Between the regular and after-hours trading sessions, the stock gained about 1.5%, pushing shares closer to their all-time high of $143.\nDespite the small earnings day gains, Apple exits this season a more affordable stock. The math is fairly simple:\n\nThe monstrous 42-cent Q2 EPS beat alone should push fiscal 2021 consensus higher, to $4.87;\nGuidance for Q3 was incomplete, but I conservatively estimate that it points at another 20-cent gap to consensus, at least. Both quarters combined add up to new fiscal 2021 EPS expectations of about $5.10.\n\nData by YCharts\nApple's after-hours share price of $136 divided by a conservative $5.10 in fiscal 2021 EPS suggests a current-year P/E of only 26.8x. This is roughly in line with AAPL's pre-pandemic valuation multiple, and lower than those of tech peers whose stocks are sometimes considered \"value,\" like Facebook (FB) and Alphabet (GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL). See chart above.\nJust like that, following a killer earnings report, Apple stock starts to look cheap once again – despite shares having climbed about 90% in the past 12 months alone.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":410,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":342765537,"gmtCreate":1618243683529,"gmtModify":1704708116099,"author":{"id":"3578039715565156","authorId":"3578039715565156","name":"Ashaliphant","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a31fa041fdf8434c80ba7a87f80d7d28","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578039715565156","authorIdStr":"3578039715565156"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/342765537","repostId":"1100963293","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1100963293","pubTimestamp":1618241463,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1100963293?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-12 23:31","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple will reportedly release two new iPad Pro models despite display shortage","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1100963293","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Apple reportedly still plans to announce two new iPad Pro models as early as this month despite disr","content":"<p>Apple&nbsp;reportedly still plans to announce two new iPad Pro models as early as this month despite disruptions inthe MiniLED&nbsp;screen supply chain.</p>\n<p><i>Bloomberg</i>sourcessay the MiniLED&nbsp;will be exclusive to the more expensive 12.9-inch model, which means that model could have fewer devices in stock at the likely delayed launch.</p>\n<p>The new iPads will also feature faster processors similar to the in-house M1 silicon that Apple debuted for Macs last year.</p>\n<p>Last week, reports suggested that some Apple iPad production had been delayed to ashortage of display components.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bc90683b051aac7472ab68afc1c60d0f\" tg-width=\"663\" tg-height=\"564\"></p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Some people lose their jobs, budgets tighten, spending dec","content":"<p>Arecessioncan be a very stressful period. Some people lose their jobs, budgets tighten, spending decreases, markets get volatile, and investors get nervous as they see a portion of their portfolios apparently begin to evaporate.</p>\n<p>Some investors panic and make the mistake of selling their stocks during a recession and lock in losses. But others know that recessions are a time to<i>buy</i>stock as they offer access to lower stock prices that can lay the foundation for tremendous returns once the economy recovers. The key to executing that last action successfully is to focus on buying stock in strong companies that can survive periods of soft demand and high unemployment.</p>\n<p>No one knows when a recession will hit, but we do know there have been 18 recessions over the last century, so it's likely to happen again. The wise investor will do what it takes to be prepared for this eventuality.</p>\n<p>Here are three relatively safe tech stocks that represent strong companies and I would buy them during the next recession.</p>\n<p>1. Microsoft</p>\n<p><b>Microsoft</b>'s(NASDAQ:MSFT)software is widely used by both consumers and businesses. There are more than 1 billion active devices that run on Windows 10, and the company reported that Office 365 usage was higher than ever last year. Microsoft is also a leader in helping organizations shift to digital technologies, whereMicrosoft Azureis emerging as a strong second-place competitor to<b>Amazon</b>(NASDAQ:AMZN)in the cloud services market.</p>\n<p>Even with Microsoft's established brand and customer base, the company is not immune to dips in demand caused by recessions. For example, spending on technology could decline during a weak economy, pressuring Microsoft's revenue growth. But it's worth noting that spending on cloud services and infrastructure continued to increase during the pandemic as Microsoft benefited from the remote work trend, and CEO Satya Nadella believes the growing demand for digital services is just getting started.</p>\n<p>\"Over a year into the pandemic, digital adoption curves aren't slowing down. They're accelerating, and it's just the beginning,\" Nadella stated in the fiscal Q3 2021 earnings report.</p>\n<p>Microsoft estimates that 50 billion new devices will come online by 2030, and that could translate to tremendous growth in revenue for Azure -- not to mention demand for Microsoft's popular software tools like Word and Excel, which the company bundles as a subscription service with Microsoft 365.</p>\n<p>Microsoft is a financial fortress. It ended the most recent quarter with a net cash position of $73 billion, and it generated $54 billion infree cash flowover the last four quarters.&nbsp;With that much cash sitting on the balance sheet and more coming in every year, Microsoft would likely be able to continue increasing its dividend payout even during challenging business conditions. The stock currently pays adividend yieldof 0.87%, representing a cash payout ratio of 30% relative to free cash flow.</p>\n<p>The secular demand trend for digital enterprise software services should keep Microsoft growing over the long term, and its rock-solid financial position should provide a cushion to the stock price in the event of anothermarket correction.</p>\n<p>2. Amazon</p>\n<p>Amazon provides essential services through its grocery businesses (Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods). It's also the leader in cloud services with its Amazon Web Services business. But serving the consumer is still its bread and butter. The annualPrime Day(usually held in the summer months) has become just as big as Black Friday, and the event provides Amazon an opportunity to reach new customers with its Prime membership program.</p>\n<p>Amazon generated $419 billion in revenue over the last year, and it continues to grow very fast for a large business. Revenue has doubled over the last three years, with growth accelerating during the pandemic.</p>\n<p>Still, not all recessions may turn out as well for the e-commerce giant. Amazon sells a lot of consumer electronics and other nonessential items that people may not purchase during a prolonged recession.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, many customers would likely stick with their Prime memberships to enjoy movies, music, and free grocery delivery. Amazon now has more than 200 million loyal patrons through Prime, and the company is seeing Prime engagement continue to rise, providing a stickier ecosystem of services for consumers.</p>\n<p>Like Microsoft, Amazon generates a substantial amount of free cash flow to continue investing in the future no matter what the economy is doing. Over the last four quarters, Amazon generated $26.4 billion in free cash flow.&nbsp;Most of its operating profit comes from cloud services, where Amazon Web Services made up 11.6% of total revenue on a trailing-12-month basis.</p>\n<p>While Amazon doesn't pay a dividend, that's sort of a good thing at this juncture, because it means management is still seeing tremendous opportunities to invest in building more fulfillment warehouses and its own transportation fleet to meet growing demand. This is a top growth stock to consider buying when the next market correction strikes.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bc76a43a51b8c48de3337ad1dea22962\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>AAPLDATA BY YCHARTS</span></p>\n<p>3. Apple</p>\n<p><b>Apple</b>(NASDAQ:AAPL)is one of the most iconic consumer brands in the world. Sure, sales of its pricey aluminum-clad devices would likely suffer if people didn't have money to spend, but the company also has a growing revenue stream from subscription services, and it generates plenty of cash to continue paying a regular dividend to shareholders.</p>\n<p>While iPhone revenue dropped 3.3% in fiscal 2020 (which ended in September), Apple saw sales of its Macs, iPads, and wearables grow at healthy rates during the pandemic. And since the iPhone 12 launched in the fall, Apple's revenue growth has accelerated to 53% year over year in the quarter that ended in March.</p>\n<p>Most importantly, Apple's installed base of active devices continues to hit new records. The new Macs and iPad Pros featuringApple's new M1 chip have rejuvenated salesof these products&nbsp;-- a great sign of Apple's brand strength in the marketplace.</p>\n<p>The stock currently pays a dividend yield of 0.67%, with a current cash payout ratio of 15.7% of trailing free cash flow. While shares are up 50% over the last year, the forwardprice-to-earnings ratiois roughly in line with that of the broader market at 24 times expected earnings. At this valuation level, there might be more room for upside in the near term, especially if the iPhone upgrade cycle remains stronger than investors expect.</p>\n<p>During the earnings call in late April, Apple CEO Tim Cook noted that 5G penetration is \"still low at this point,\" with a lot of upgrades still in front of the company.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2e5874f0d32193fcda101a46ff8ad430\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>AAPL PE RATIO (FORWARD)DATA BY YCHARTS</span></p>\n<p>In the event of another recession, investors can feel confident that Apple's business won't be starving for funds to keep cranking out new products -- and most importantly, keeping its employees happily on the payroll.</p>\n<p>Apple ended the fiscal second quarter with net cash of $87 billion on the books.

Some people lose their jobs, budgets tighten, spending decreases, markets get volatile, and investors get nervous as they see a portion of their portfolios apparently begin to evaporate.\nSome investors panic and make the mistake of selling their stocks during a recession and lock in losses. But others know that recessions are a time tobuystock as they offer access to lower stock prices that can lay the foundation for tremendous returns once the economy recovers. The key to executing that last action successfully is to focus on buying stock in strong companies that can survive periods of soft demand and high unemployment.\nNo one knows when a recession will hit, but we do know there have been 18 recessions over the last century, so it's likely to happen again. The wise investor will do what it takes to be prepared for this eventuality.\nHere are three relatively safe tech stocks that represent strong companies and I would buy them during the next recession.\n1. Microsoft\nMicrosoft's(NASDAQ:MSFT)software is widely used by both consumers and businesses. There are more than 1 billion active devices that run on Windows 10, and the company reported that Office 365 usage was higher than ever last year. Microsoft is also a leader in helping organizations shift to digital technologies, whereMicrosoft Azureis emerging as a strong second-place competitor toAmazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)in the cloud services market.\nEven with Microsoft's established brand and customer base, the company is not immune to dips in demand caused by recessions. For example, spending on technology could decline during a weak economy, pressuring Microsoft's revenue growth. But it's worth noting that spending on cloud services and infrastructure continued to increase during the pandemic as Microsoft benefited from the remote work trend, and CEO Satya Nadella believes the growing demand for digital services is just getting started.\n\"Over a year into the pandemic, digital adoption curves aren't slowing down. They're accelerating, and it's just the beginning,\" Nadella stated in the fiscal Q3 2021 earnings report.\nMicrosoft estimates that 50 billion new devices will come online by 2030, and that could translate to tremendous growth in revenue for Azure -- not to mention demand for Microsoft's popular software tools like Word and Excel, which the company bundles as a subscription service with Microsoft 365.\nMicrosoft is a financial fortress. It ended the most recent quarter with a net cash position of $73 billion, and it generated $54 billion infree cash flowover the last four quarters. With that much cash sitting on the balance sheet and more coming in every year, Microsoft would likely be able to continue increasing its dividend payout even during challenging business conditions. The stock currently pays adividend yieldof 0.87%, representing a cash payout ratio of 30% relative to free cash flow.\nThe secular demand trend for digital enterprise software services should keep Microsoft growing over the long term, and its rock-solid financial position should provide a cushion to the stock price in the event of anothermarket correction.\n2. Amazon\nAmazon provides essential services through its grocery businesses (Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods). It's also the leader in cloud services with its Amazon Web Services business. But serving the consumer is still its bread and butter. The annualPrime Day(usually held in the summer months) has become just as big as Black Friday, and the event provides Amazon an opportunity to reach new customers with its Prime membership program.\nAmazon generated $419 billion in revenue over the last year, and it continues to grow very fast for a large business. Revenue has doubled over the last three years, with growth accelerating during the pandemic.\nStill, not all recessions may turn out as well for the e-commerce giant. Amazon sells a lot of consumer electronics and other nonessential items that people may not purchase during a prolonged recession.\nOn the other hand, many customers would likely stick with their Prime memberships to enjoy movies, music, and free grocery delivery. Amazon now has more than 200 million loyal patrons through Prime, and the company is seeing Prime engagement continue to rise, providing a stickier ecosystem of services for consumers.\nLike Microsoft, Amazon generates a substantial amount of free cash flow to continue investing in the future no matter what the economy is doing. Over the last four quarters, Amazon generated $26.4 billion in free cash flow. Most of its operating profit comes from cloud services, where Amazon Web Services made up 11.6% of total revenue on a trailing-12-month basis.\nWhile Amazon doesn't pay a dividend, that's sort of a good thing at this juncture, because it means management is still seeing tremendous opportunities to invest in building more fulfillment warehouses and its own transportation fleet to meet growing demand. This is a top growth stock to consider buying when the next market correction strikes.\nAAPLDATA BY YCHARTS\n3. Apple\nApple(NASDAQ:AAPL)is one of the most iconic consumer brands in the world. Sure, sales of its pricey aluminum-clad devices would likely suffer if people didn't have money to spend, but the company also has a growing revenue stream from subscription services, and it generates plenty of cash to continue paying a regular dividend to shareholders.\nWhile iPhone revenue dropped 3.3% in fiscal 2020 (which ended in September), Apple saw sales of its Macs, iPads, and wearables grow at healthy rates during the pandemic. And since the iPhone 12 launched in the fall, Apple's revenue growth has accelerated to 53% year over year in the quarter that ended in March.\nMost importantly, Apple's installed base of active devices continues to hit new records. The new Macs and iPad Pros featuringApple's new M1 chip have rejuvenated salesof these products -- a great sign of Apple's brand strength in the marketplace.\nThe stock currently pays a dividend yield of 0.67%, with a current cash payout ratio of 15.7% of trailing free cash flow. While shares are up 50% over the last year, the forwardprice-to-earnings ratiois roughly in line with that of the broader market at 24 times expected earnings. At this valuation level, there might be more room for upside in the near term, especially if the iPhone upgrade cycle remains stronger than investors expect.\nDuring the earnings call in late April, Apple CEO Tim Cook noted that 5G penetration is \"still low at this point,\" with a lot of upgrades still in front of the company.\nAAPL PE RATIO (FORWARD)DATA BY YCHARTS\nIn the event of another recession, investors can feel confident that Apple's business won't be starving for funds to keep cranking out new products -- and most importantly, keeping its employees happily on the payroll.\nApple ended the fiscal second quarter with net cash of $87 billion on the books. While management is working toward a cash-neutral position on its balance sheet, Apple continues to gush more every year, with trailing free cash flow topping $90 billion.\nThe key takeaway\nShares ofleading tech stocksthat generate substantial amounts of free cash flow will be relatively safe bets during a recession. Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple possess these traits in spades. These companies are dominant sector leaders that should reward investors for years to come.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":469,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":111796936,"gmtCreate":1622697433625,"gmtModify":1704189158404,"author":{"id":"3578039715565156","authorId":"3578039715565156","name":"Ashaliphant","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a31fa041fdf8434c80ba7a87f80d7d28","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578039715565156","authorIdStr":"3578039715565156"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nah ah","listText":"Nah ah","text":"Nah ah","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/111796936","repostId":"1115876867","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1115876867","pubTimestamp":1622678071,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1115876867?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-03 07:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Shares of retail favorite AMC nearly double, company woos investors with free popcorn","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1115876867","media":"Reuters","summary":"Shares of retail investor favorite AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc(AMC.N)nearly doubled in price on W","content":"<p>Shares of retail investor favorite <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">AMC Entertainment</a> Holdings Inc(AMC.N)nearly doubled in price on Wednesday, extending a breathtaking rally and reinvigorating the meme stock phenomenon that has captivated investors.</p><p>The theater chain operator's shares closed up 95.2% at $62.55, a fresh record.

About $39 billion worth of AMC shares was traded on Wednesday, by far the most of any stock on Wall Street, per Refinitiv data.The company has been among the biggest gainers from a deluge of interest in so-called meme stocks.\"The (retail trading) party could go on as long as investors could continue co-acting,\" said Ipek Ozkardeskaya, senior analyst at Swissquote. \"The problem is, the higher the price goes, the higher is the temptation to take profit and walk away.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":132,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":348775921,"gmtCreate":1617969644463,"gmtModify":1704705444938,"author":{"id":"3578039715565156","authorId":"3578039715565156","name":"Ashaliphant","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a31fa041fdf8434c80ba7a87f80d7d28","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578039715565156","authorIdStr":"3578039715565156"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"??","listText":"??","text":"??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/348775921","repostId":"2126081391","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2126081391","pubTimestamp":1617962280,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2126081391?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-09 17:58","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Smartest Stocks to Buy With $300 Right Now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2126081391","media":"Sean Williams","summary":"You don't need a mountain of cash to build wealth on Wall Street.","content":"<p>The stock market is arguably the greatest wealth creator on the planet.
