That was an improvement over the loss of $567.2 million, or a loss of $1.42 per share, recorded a year earlier.</p><p>Excluding one-time items, AMC’s Q1 loss amounted to a loss of 52 cents per share, which was less than the loss of 63 cents forecast by Wall Street analysts. Revenue in the quarter came in at $785.7 million, which was 430% higher than $148.3 million generated in the year-earlier period and better than the $743 million analysts expected. The company finished the quarter with $1.3 billion of cash on hand.</p><p>The improved results come as moviegoers return to theaters for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic began. AMC said nearly 40 million people visited its theaters during the first quarter to see hit films such as <i>The Batman</i>and<i>Sonic The Hedgehog 2</i>.</p><p>The debut of new Marvel movie <i>Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness</i>, which earned a global haul of $450 million during its opening weekend, should help drive traffic and sales at AMC’s more than 10,500 movie screens around the world. There are also several highly anticipated movies coming to the big screens is summer, including <i>Top Gun: Maverick,</i> <i>Thor: Love and Thunder</i>and<i>Minions: The Rise of Gru</i>.</p><p>The Long Road Back for AMC</p><p>It’s been a tough recovery for AMC Entertainment, which had all of its movie theaters shut down in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic. It was then forced to operate throughout 2021 with limited capacities and other restrictions.</p><p>On top of that, several big movies such had their release dates shelved during the pandemic, while other films bypassed theaters altogether and went directly to streaming platforms. Only now is AMC starting to recover and able to operate at full capacity, showing blockbuster movies that attract big audiences for several weeks at a time.</p><p>Yet the company’s earning show AMC is not completely out of the woods. Despite its revenue increasing 430% in this year’s first quarter, the company’s spending during the period outpaced those sales, leading to a loss.</p><p>AMC said it spent nearly $1 billion in Q1 on operating expenses and rent across its movie theater chains in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Plus, several of the initiatives the company launched during the pandemic, such as plans to sell its popcorn in convenience stores and at other retail outlets, didn’t pan out as hoped.</p><p>Add to this continued negative sentiment on the part of analysts, and it’s easy to see AMC is having trouble escaping its reputation as a meme stock.</p><p>Don’t Buy AMC Stock</p><p>Among six analysts that continue to cover AMC Entertainment, the median price target on the stock is currently $5, suggesting the share price has another 58% to fall from current levels. As mentioned, MKM Partners expects AMC stock to drop to $1.</p><p>While attendance at its movie theaters is improving, AMC has a long way to go to get back to where it was pre-pandemic. And the stock continues to be viewed as overvalued despite having fallen 70% since last fall. In this environment, investors would be smart to stay clear of AMC, or at least wait for the share price to inevitably drop further.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>AMC Entertainment Is Still Not a Buy Despite Improved Earnings</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\">\nAMC Entertainment Is Still Not a Buy Despite Improved Earnings\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-05-18 16:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2022/05/amc-stock-is-still-not-a-buy-despite-improved-earnings/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>AMC Entertainment (AMC) just reported better-than-expected Q1 earnings.However, the movie theater chain is not out of the woods yet and is struggling to return its business to pre-pandemic levels.AMC ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2022/05/amc-stock-is-still-not-a-buy-despite-improved-earnings/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMC":"AMC院线"},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2022/05/amc-stock-is-still-not-a-buy-despite-improved-earnings/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1197768730","content_text":"AMC Entertainment (AMC) just reported better-than-expected Q1 earnings.However, the movie theater chain is not out of the woods yet and is struggling to return its business to pre-pandemic levels.AMC stock remains under pressure, with at least one analyst forecasting it will fall to just $1 per share.Down 27% in the past week, things look to be going from bad to worse for troubled meme stock AMC Entertainment(NYSE:AMC).

That was an improvement over the loss of $567.2 million, or a loss of $1.42 per share, recorded a year earlier.Excluding one-time items, AMC’s Q1 loss amounted to a loss of 52 cents per share, which was less than the loss of 63 cents forecast by Wall Street analysts. Revenue in the quarter came in at $785.7 million, which was 430% higher than $148.3 million generated in the year-earlier period and better than the $743 million analysts expected. The company finished the quarter with $1.3 billion of cash on hand.The improved results come as moviegoers return to theaters for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic began. AMC said nearly 40 million people visited its theaters during the first quarter to see hit films such as The BatmanandSonic The Hedgehog 2.The debut of new Marvel movie Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which earned a global haul of $450 million during its opening weekend, should help drive traffic and sales at AMC’s more than 10,500 movie screens around the world. There are also several highly anticipated movies coming to the big screens is summer, including Top Gun: Maverick, Thor: Love and ThunderandMinions: The Rise of Gru.The Long Road Back for AMCIt’s been a tough recovery for AMC Entertainment, which had all of its movie theaters shut down in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic. It was then forced to operate throughout 2021 with limited capacities and other restrictions.On top of that, several big movies such had their release dates shelved during the pandemic, while other films bypassed theaters altogether and went directly to streaming platforms. Only now is AMC starting to recover and able to operate at full capacity, showing blockbuster movies that attract big audiences for several weeks at a time.Yet the company’s earning show AMC is not completely out of the woods. Despite its revenue increasing 430% in this year’s first quarter, the company’s spending during the period outpaced those sales, leading to a loss.AMC said it spent nearly $1 billion in Q1 on operating expenses and rent across its movie theater chains in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Plus, several of the initiatives the company launched during the pandemic, such as plans to sell its popcorn in convenience stores and at other retail outlets, didn’t pan out as hoped.Add to this continued negative sentiment on the part of analysts, and it’s easy to see AMC is having trouble escaping its reputation as a meme stock.Don’t Buy AMC StockAmong six analysts that continue to cover AMC Entertainment, the median price target on the stock is currently $5, suggesting the share price has another 58% to fall from current levels. As mentioned, MKM Partners expects AMC stock to drop to $1.While attendance at its movie theaters is improving, AMC has a long way to go to get back to where it was pre-pandemic. And the stock continues to be viewed as overvalued despite having fallen 70% since last fall. In this environment, investors would be smart to stay clear of AMC, or at least wait for the share price to inevitably drop further.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":393,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9087641456,"gmtCreate":1651014503222,"gmtModify":1676534832026,"author":{"id":"3578385220008893","authorId":"3578385220008893","name":"b14293","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eacdce655041c0b71bd11ebb6ae685c3","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578385220008893","authorIdStr":"3578385220008893"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Correction to their high valuation","listText":"Correction to their high valuation","text":"Correction to their high valuation","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9087641456","repostId":"1147776332","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1147776332","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1650985704,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1147776332?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-26 23:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. Stocks Tumbled with Nasdaq Composite Falling 3%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1147776332","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"U.S. stocks continued to fall in early trading on Tuesday, with the Nasdaq Composite falling more th","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>U.S. stocks continued to fall in early trading on Tuesday, with the Nasdaq Composite falling more than 3%, while Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, meta Platforms and Netflix all fell more than 2%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3716b6648a30b6d01a00a07ffad4fec1\" tg-width=\"411\" tg-height=\"352\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Without a cord, the earbud gets its power from a tiny cylindrical battery that has about 1% of the capacity of an iPhone’s battery.\nBut lithium-ion batteries, like those used by the AirPods, wear out the more they are used.\nSome owners have noticed that, after a few years, used AirPods eventually will last only an hour or so before needing to be recharged -- a big decay from the four-to-five-hour battery life they have when new. Because each AirPod is so small and so tightly packed into its housing, it’s almost impossible to swap out the old battery for a new one. Most people give up and just buy a new pair.\nThe limited lifespan of AirPods is exactly the kind of problem that the “right-to-repair” movement wants to fix. Repair shops and lobbyists that support repair reform want lawmakers to implement a variety of rules, including increased access to manuals and official parts and consumer protections around warranties.\nBut one of their most important requests is for companies to design products with repair in mind, instead of packing gadgets with unlabeled parts and sticking them together with glue, forcing users to use a knife to take them apart.\nThis desire puts repair advocates at odds with hardware companies like Apple, whose business models depend on customers upgrading to the latest model every few years. When Apple offered cheap iPhone battery repairs a few years ago, it hurt sales as consumers were able to hang on to their old phones for longer instead of upgrading. Apple also charges customers for repairs and extended warranties.\n“We design our products for durability in order to minimize the need for repair,” Apple wrote in an environmental report earlier this year. “But in the instance a repair is needed, we believe our customers should have convenient access to safe and reliable repair services, to get their product back up and running as quickly as possible.”\nThe right-to-repair movement gains steam\nPolicymakers have started to engage more closely with right-to-repair advocates in recent years. State-level bills have been introduced in a majority of states, but electronics companies have lobbied against them and none have passed.\nIn May, the Federal Trade Commission released a 56-page report on repair restrictions, concluding that repair restrictions have “steered consumers into manufacturers’ repair networks or to replace products before the end of their useful lives” — exactly the problem users are running into with their AirPods.\nThe Biden administration on Friday ordered the FTC to write new regulations targeted at limiting manufacturers’ ability to hamper independent or do-it-yourself repairs as part of a sweeping executive order. New repair rules have not yet been drafted.\n“Tech and other companies impose restrictions on self and third-party repairs, making repairs more costly and time-consuming, such as by restricting the distribution of parts, diagnostics, and repair tools,” the White House wrote in a fact sheet about the order on Friday, linking to a story about fixing Apple products. Apple declined to comment on the White House executive order.\nThe FTC has not said what it plans to do, but repair advocates want a few key policy changes, as detailed in its May report. They want companies to be required to make official replacement parts available. They want access to tools that could make repairs easier without reverse-engineering the tools or parts themselves. And ultimately, they want products to be designed with longer lifespans.\nApple is not the only company that would be affected by these policies. Much of the recent pressure is on medical device companies and tractor manufacturers. But given Apple’s ubiquity, it has become a poster child for repair, especially because it promotes its environmental efforts as a corporate value.\nApple has launched a program it calls the “Independent Repair Program” which gives repair shops the option to enter into a certification process and contract with Apple in order to get access to authentic Apple parts, tools and manuals.\nApple has also reduced the price of its battery replacement for iPhones, and recent models have been designed to make it easier to replace a battery or cracked screen, according to iFixit. Plus, compared to other consumer electronics companies, Apple has a large existing network of stores and authorized repair shops.\nStill, many Apple products remain challenging to repair at home or as a business with no contact with Apple.\nThe only AirPods battery replacement company\niFixit, a company that provides disassembly instructions and sells replacement parts for gadgets, gives AirPods models a score of zero out of 10 for repairability. According to iFixit, repairing these earbuds involves soldering, hot air guns and slicing through glue — that is, if replacement battery parts are even available. In the end, a would-be home repairer would have to put the four-gram computer back together again.\nApple provides “battery service” for AirPods, at the cost of $49 per earbud. But functionally, Apple simply gives you a replacement pair, and the old earbuds are recycled. It’s not a repair, it’s a replacement. And it’s expensive. AirPods originally cost $159, so opting for battery service costs more than half of the price of a new pair.\nApple sold about 72.8 million AirPods units in 2020, according to a CounterPoint research estimate, so tens of millions of consumers will face the same lack of choice in the coming years.\nPodSwap is a Miami company founded by Emma Stritzinger and Emily Alpert which aims to keep AirPods “out of the landfill.” They’re not associated with Apple.\nThey believe they’re the only company performing AirPod battery replacements, although other companies “refurbish” old AirPods, the founders told CNBC. The company was formed after the founders experienced dying AirPods themselves and thought that upgrading or replacing them would be wasteful and impractical.\nI recently replaced a pair of AirPods that were only holding a charge for 45 minutes -- too short to complete a phone call. I paid $59 on PodSwap’s Shopify site and a few days later received a replacement pair of AirPods with new batteries. They weren’t my old AirPods, they were another set that had their batteries replaced.\nAlong with those new pods, PodSwap includes a box and a return label. It wants your old AirPods back. It then cleans and sanitizes the old pair, puts in new batteries and sends them out to the next person who wants to change the battery in their old AirPods.\nBut PodSwap faces many challenges that show why repair advocates want new rules. Alpert said the design of the AirPod makes it challenging for repair shops or companies like theirs to do a lot of battery replacements. PodSwap’s process uses both robotics and manual labor, the founders said.\n“The process was developed through trial and error and a large number of units were ‘sacrificed’ and ultimately recycled. One major challenge we faced was overcoming the uniqueness of this product. Each AirPod is assembled with slight differences, which creates complexity in the disassembly,” Alpert said.\nPodSwap plans to soon offer service for the AirPods Pro, a newer model that costs $249 and are, surprisingly, powered by a standard-sized coin battery.\nBut the AirPods Pro have many of the same problems as the first model — tight tolerances, potential damage while taking them apart, a lack of replacement parts, and a design that suggests the product was always designed to last a limited time.\n“We have found the AirPods Pro’s batteries to be more difficult to replace,” Alpert said. “The ergonomic design and tight unforgiving tolerances make it exceptionally challenging to replace the batteries repeatedly, with a high degree of efficiency.”\nPodSwap wasn’t totally seamless for me — I got sent a combination of “first generation” and “second generation” AirPods. They caused my iPhone to send error messages, but I sent an email to PodSwap and a day or two later I got a second replacement set, which worked.\nAfter that, I sent my first replacement set and my old AirPods back. The AirPods I received look and work like new.\nI plan on trying to get another four years out of them.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":176,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":141538196,"gmtCreate":1625879436415,"gmtModify":1703750267628,"author":{"id":"3578385220008893","authorId":"3578385220008893","name":"b14293","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eacdce655041c0b71bd11ebb6ae685c3","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578385220008893","authorIdStr":"3578385220008893"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tw is leading","listText":"Tw is leading","text":"Tw is leading","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/141538196","repostId":"1145284684","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1145284684","pubTimestamp":1625878443,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1145284684?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-10 08:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Taiwan Semiconductor Vs.

Keep in mind that in addition to TSMC’s processors going into iPhones, TSMC also fabricates the M1, which powers the new MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini and is Apple's first custom-designed Arm-based chip for Mac.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/354a97772e16c2a05dbccc89556de9eb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"465\"><span>Chart 4</span></p>\n<p>TSMC has upgraded its manufacturing capabilities countless times to keep Apple’s latest chips at the bleeding edge of processor technologies, since its first chip produced for Apple was installed in the Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which were introduced on September 9, 2014.</p>\n<p>Chart 5 shows that the number of transistors increased from 2 billion for the iPhone 6 to 11.8 billion for the current iPhone 12.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/108ef270fe60691ec5bc8c7f0a061d9c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"462\"><span>Chart 5</span></p>\n<p>Thus, investors must consider that:</p>\n<p>Any positive developments from Apple will impact TSMC positively, and positive technological developments from TSMC will impact Apple positively. For example, as long as TSMC is the major manufacturer of Apple chips, growth in Apple or new technologies developed by Apple requiring chips (such as Auto or ADAS), then TSMC will gain.</p>\n<p>Secondly, because of capacity limitations and technology node demands, any expansion in capacity from TSMC will be beneficial to Apple as it moves to smaller nodes while consuming about 25% of TSMC’s chip output on a revenue basis.</p>\n<p>UMC is less transparent and doesn’t provide a breakdown by customer. UMC’s primary customers include premier integrated device manufacturers, such as Texas Instruments(NASDAQ:TXN)and Intel Mobile(NASDAQ:INTC), plus leading fabless design companies, such as MediaTek(OTCPK:MDTKF), Realtek, Qualcomm(NASDAQ:QCOM)and Novatek.</p>\n<p>In August 2018, UMC announced it would pause research for advancing the productional technology of chips under 10nm nodes. As shown in the figure above, since 2018, the corresponding proportion of the company's advanced processes has been reduced to zero, but for mature nodes such as 65nm and 28nm, the proportion has been increased.</p>\n<p><b>Investor Takeaways</b>: Is TSM Or UMC Stock A Better Buy?</p>\n<p>Both companies compete in the same industry, but their business models are a differentiating metric. TSMC generates most of its revenue on nodes smaller than UMC’s (Chart 1), and most of its planned capex will focus new fabs making ICs at increasing smaller nodes.</p>\n<p><b>TSMC Positives</b></p>\n<p>TSMC’s share of the pure-play foundry market was 57% share in 2020, up from 55% in 2019. UMC’s share was constant at slightly less than 8%.</p>\n<p>TSMC benefits from the smaller nodes. Although capex increases with decreasing nodes (Chart 3), so too does gross profit (Chart 2).

The P6 expansion is scheduled for production in the second quarter of 2023, and has a capacity of just 10,000 wafers per month.\nThe P6 program is supported by a multi-year's product alignment between UMC and the involved customers that includes a loading protection mechanism that will ensure the P6 capacity is maintained at a healthy loading level.\nUMC has total 12 fabs in production with combined capacity close to 800,000 wafers per month (8-in equivalent).\nPrice Per Wafer\nChart 2 shows the gross profit by node for an IC device. It partially explains the rationale behind TSMC’s business model to move to advanced nodes, while also explaining why the company chose to leave its 28nm node undersupplied until recent external forces prompted it to build its China fab.\nGross profits per 300-mm wafer are $2,835 for a 28nm node versus $8,695 for a 3nm node.\nChart 2\nChart 3 shows capex spend by node for ICs. Capex spend (building + equipment) at 28nm is $100,000 per wafer, which more than triples to $320,000 at 3nm.\nChart 3\nCustomer Base\nChart 4 shows that Apple (AAPL) was the largest customer of TSMC in 2020, representing 21% of revenues. Keep in mind that in addition to TSMC’s processors going into iPhones, TSMC also fabricates the M1, which powers the new MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini and is Apple's first custom-designed Arm-based chip for Mac.\nChart 4\nTSMC has upgraded its manufacturing capabilities countless times to keep Apple’s latest chips at the bleeding edge of processor technologies, since its first chip produced for Apple was installed in the Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which were introduced on September 9, 2014.\nChart 5 shows that the number of transistors increased from 2 billion for the iPhone 6 to 11.8 billion for the current iPhone 12.\nChart 5\nThus, investors must consider that:\nAny positive developments from Apple will impact TSMC positively, and positive technological developments from TSMC will impact Apple positively. For example, as long as TSMC is the major manufacturer of Apple chips, growth in Apple or new technologies developed by Apple requiring chips (such as Auto or ADAS), then TSMC will gain.\nSecondly, because of capacity limitations and technology node demands, any expansion in capacity from TSMC will be beneficial to Apple as it moves to smaller nodes while consuming about 25% of TSMC’s chip output on a revenue basis.\nUMC is less transparent and doesn’t provide a breakdown by customer. UMC’s primary customers include premier integrated device manufacturers, such as Texas Instruments(NASDAQ:TXN)and Intel Mobile(NASDAQ:INTC), plus leading fabless design companies, such as MediaTek(OTCPK:MDTKF), Realtek, Qualcomm(NASDAQ:QCOM)and Novatek.\nIn August 2018, UMC announced it would pause research for advancing the productional technology of chips under 10nm nodes. As shown in the figure above, since 2018, the corresponding proportion of the company's advanced processes has been reduced to zero, but for mature nodes such as 65nm and 28nm, the proportion has been increased.\nInvestor Takeaways: Is TSM Or UMC Stock A Better Buy?\nBoth companies compete in the same industry, but their business models are a differentiating metric. TSMC generates most of its revenue on nodes smaller than UMC’s (Chart 1), and most of its planned capex will focus new fabs making ICs at increasing smaller nodes.\nTSMC Positives\nTSMC’s share of the pure-play foundry market was 57% share in 2020, up from 55% in 2019. UMC’s share was constant at slightly less than 8%.\nTSMC benefits from the smaller nodes. Although capex increases with decreasing nodes (Chart 3), so too does gross profit (Chart 2). Thus, TSM has higher revenues than UMC: $48.2B vs $6.283B.\n\nTSMC also has higher annual earnings (EBITDA): $33B vs. UMC $2.349B.\nTSMC ($613B) has a higher market cap than UMC ($23.4B).\nTSMC has more cash on hand: $23.3B vs. UMC ($3.76B).\nTSMC has a higher EPS (3.99) than UMC (0.59).\n\nSeeking Alpha’s quant ratings are derived by measuring a stock's financial metrics against other stocks in the sector on the basis of value, growth, profitability, momentum and analysts’ earnings revisions. In Table 1, both stocks have high rankings. TSMC has a quant rating of 4.63 and UMC has a quant rating of 4.54.\n\nGross margin for TSMC and UMC is shown in Table 2. A positive for TSMC, gross margin is significantly ahead of UMC and the average of all foundries. The Street expects 3Q21 gross margin will improve to 52.9%, given a higher revenue scale, tight foundry supply and improved efficiency of 5nm production.\n\nUMC Positives\nThe comparison of other financial metrics, UMC has stronger financials:\n\nUMC has a lower P/E ratio than TSM: 21.8 vs 28.9\nUMC has less debt than TSM: $2.47B vs $15.4B.\nUMC YTD gains are higher at: 10.558 vs. TSM (8.922).\n\nTable 3 shows stock performance in percent growth for TSM and UMC. In the past year, UMC stock has outperformed TSMC, and did so in the 3-year and 5-year period. But in a 10-year period, TSMC is the better choice.\n\nTSMC is the clear winner over UMC going forward. The company chose its strategy to build chips at the <7nm node. The fact that it is building a 28nm fab in China, the “sweet spot” for UMC, coupled with a new 28nm SMIC (OTCQX:SMICY) fab, will mean lost market share at this node for UMC.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":402,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":143239359,"gmtCreate":1625795227371,"gmtModify":1703748679629,"author":{"id":"3578385220008893","authorId":"3578385220008893","name":"b14293","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eacdce655041c0b71bd11ebb6ae685c3","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578385220008893","authorIdStr":"3578385220008893"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I like","listText":"I like","text":"I like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/143239359","repostId":"1164584412","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1164584412","pubTimestamp":1625792481,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1164584412?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-09 09:01","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Melvin Can’t Shake Reddit Attack With 46% Loss in First Half","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1164584412","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Hedge fund is said to have gained about 1% last month\nFounder Plotkin has said he would adjust his s","content":"<ul>\n <li>Hedge fund is said to have gained about 1% last month</li>\n <li>Founder Plotkin has said he would adjust his shorting strategy</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Gabe Plotkin’s Melvin Capital Management ended the first half of 2021 down 46% as the hedge fund struggled to bounce back from a vicious attack by Reddit traders on its short positions.</p>\n<p>The firm, which plunged 53% in January as its bearish bets on companies includingGameStop Corp.andAMC Entertainment Holdings Inc.were besieged by a retail-driven buying spree, was up about 1% in June, according to people familiar with the matter.

Not only is it a good idea for investors to monitor their investments from time-to-time but rarely is so much new, actionable information released as during the end of a quarter.\nRebalancing a Portfolio\nRebalancinginvolves the periodic sale and purchase of assets within a portfolio to maintain a target ratio.2Consider an investor who wants his portfolio to be comprised of 50% growth stocks, 25% income stocks, and 25% bonds. If during Q1, the growth stocks outperform the other investments substantially, the investor may decide to sell some growth stocks or purchase more income stocks and bonds to bring the portfolio back to a 50-25-25 split.\nKEY TAKEAWAYS\n\nThe end of the three-month period known as a financial quarter is considered an important time for investors.\nCompanies, financial analysts, and government agencies (including the Fed) all release reports and critical data at the end of a quarter.\nBoth retail and institutional investors often use the end of a quarter to re-evaluate and rebalance their portfolios.\n\nTraditional rebalancing involves trading the gains of well-performing assets, by selling high, for more low-performing assets, by buying low, at the end of each quarter. Theoretically, this serves to protect a portfolio from being too exposed or straying too far from its original strategy. However, pegging rebalances to the end of quarters relies on arbitrary calendar events which may not coincide with market movements. Nevertheless, the confluence of new reports that emerge at the end of quarters usually causes market reactions and should be of concern to most participants.\nInstitutional Investors and Rebalancing\nIt is not just individual investors who consider making portfolio moves at the end of quarters. Portfolio management is also important for institutional investors, like mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, or ETFs.3\nThere are two forms of fund portfolio management: active and passive.4Passive funds generally peg their portfolios to market indexes and involve fewer changes in exchange for lower management fees. The end of a quarter is less significant for these types of funds, though if theirbenchmark indexeschange at this time, they will as well.\nActive funds have a manager or team of managers who take a more proactive approach to beat market average returns. These funds can be quite active during the end of quarters, especially if their portfolios need to be adjusted to meet their previously stated goals and strategies.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":220,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":154040793,"gmtCreate":1625463036412,"gmtModify":1703742215613,"author":{"id":"3578385220008893","authorId":"3578385220008893","name":"b14293","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eacdce655041c0b71bd11ebb6ae685c3","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578385220008893","authorIdStr":"3578385220008893"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/154040793","repostId":"1166658180","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1166658180","pubTimestamp":1625454170,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1166658180?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-05 11:02","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Berkshire Hathaway: At Least 20% Underpriced, And The Kraft Heinz Position","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1166658180","media":"seeking alpha","summary":"Summary\n\nInvestment commentators seem to derive a misplaced sense of schadenfreude from Buffett's in","content":"<p>Summary</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Investment commentators seem to derive a misplaced sense of schadenfreude from Buffett's investment in Kraft Heinz.</li>\n <li>The Warren Buffett fan club blindly follow the Sage of Omaha and have not been well rewarded in relation to their personal investments in Kraft Heinz.</li>\n <li>The truth is that neither group understands the Kraft Heinz investment made by Buffett.

But this does not make it a bad investment.</p>\n<p>These commentators, together with the Warren Buffett fan club who blindly follow their icon, fail to understand why Buffett invested in Kraft Heinz. So I shall attempt to break it down in this short article.</p>\n<p>What Works For Buffett Will Not Work For You</p>\n<p>Most of Berkshire’s (BRK.A) investments in stocks are held by its insurance companies. Buffett has always utilized the float from his insurance businesses to invest wisely and to enhance his returns. Very smart, but I guess that you cannot follow suit because you may not own any insurance companies.</p>\n<p>The remainder of its stock portfolio is held within the finance, rail and utilities, and at the holding company level of the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BRK.B\">Berkshire Hathaway</a> group.</p>\n<p>Dividends of stocks at the insurers are 8.4% (40% of the 21% federal rate).Dividends on stocks held by the other subsidiaries and the holding company are taxed at 6.2% (30% of the 21% federal rate).</p>\n<p>So, let us focus on Kraft Heinz -Berkshire owns approximately 26.7% of that company.</p>\n<p>Buffett's Kraft Heinz shares are held by the parent company and because Berkshire owns more than 20% of the business, but less than 50%, it is deemed to be in 'a position of control' and so must account for its investmentusing the “equity method” of accounting.</p>\n<p>From a tax standpoint, dividends are taxed by the holding company at 4.2%, which is an 80% discount from the 21% corporate tax rate.</p>\n<p>Now consider that Kraft Heinz is a mature business which is stable but beyond the rapid growth phase of yesteryear. It does, however, generate nice levels of cash with its collection of well known consumer brands. So, without any significant opportunity to grow, decisions on allocation of the capital being generated by the business are relatively straight forward - return capital to shareholders by way of dividend!</p>\n<p>It is for this reason that it has a payout ratio of circa 75% and it pays almost a 4% yield. And so it suits Berkshire Hathaway that this cash cow is paying out 75% of its profits as dividends.</p>\n<p>Berkshire benefits greatly by earning profits as dividends because of the low taxes that it pays on dividends - something that does not apply to you or the<i>Warren Buffett fan club</i>who blindly follow the guru.</p>\n<p>For this <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> holding in Berkshire's vast portfolio the dividend from a stable cash cow is what Buffett is looking for. And since Berkshire is in a “position of control,” I expect Buffett is driving the payout ratio as high as possible.</p>\n<p>I expect that <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> day Buffett will exit the Kraft Heinz position. Perhaps Berkshire will take a brand and some cash and avoid a realized taxable cash gain. Buffett is the master of mitigating tax liabilities. However, the kind of tax avoidance mechanism available to Buffett are not available to you and me which is why blindly following buffet is foolish.</p>\n<p>By way of example, just look at how Buffett acquired <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BGC\">General</a> Re-Insurance.</p>\n<p>For those not familiar with what happened, allow me to explain. In 1998 the entire stock market was overpriced and Berkshire was trading at more than 3x book. Buffett believed that Berkshire and its shares were worth approximately half of that price. So, how does Buffett play this situation?</p>\n<p>He used $22 billion worth of his overpriced stock as currency to acquire General Re. Buffett effectively acquired the investment portfolio of General Re, which he valued at $25 billion. And because he thought his stock was being priced by the market at twice its intrinsic value, he effectively paid the equivalent of $11 billion of value for $25 billion of assets! Genius!</p>\n<p>The Gen Re portfolio was 90% fixed income products which allowed Buffett to switch from a heavy concentration of over-priced equity investments into much better valued bonds. Best of all, because he used Berkshire shares as currency for the deal rather than cash he managed to reduce his portfolio exposure to an overpriced equity market by approximately half without paying a cent of capital gains tax, then at 35%. Even more of a genius!</p>\n<p>I cover this kind of thing in my book \"Success in the Stock Market\" if any of you is interested in learning more.</p>\n<p>So, returning to the topic of this article, what works for Buffett will not work for you.</p>\n<p>Accounting for positions using the equity method requires that Berkshire’s pro-rata portion of Kraft Heinz’s reported income be included in Berkshire’s income and serves to increase Berkshire’s cost basis by the amount of the pro-rata profit. Dividends received are an offset, effectively a return of capital, and reduce Berkshire’s cost basis by the amount of the dividend. The combination increases the cost basis by the amount of undistributed earnings. Cash taxes are paid by Berkshire only on the amount received as dividends. The undistributed earnings (retained by Kraft Heinz) are included in a deferred tax liability and are payable when Berkshire receives a cash distribution or when it sells the position. The deferred tax liability is created using Berkshire’s corporate tax rate of 21%. Berkshire applies a Dividend Received Deduction “DRD” on the dividends it receives as it expects undistributed earnings to ultimately be distributed. It’s this assumption by Berkshire that allows it to offset its 21% tax rate with an 80% deduction. Thus dividends from Kraft Heinz are now taxed at 4.2% and the deferred tax liability building for retained earnings by Kraft Heinz is established using a 21% tax rate.</p>\n<p>Now consider the situation for you and me if Kraft Heinz was in our own private portfolio. With little or no capital growth prospects all we have is the dividend income. That is paid out of Kraft Heinz's net earnings (so after it has paid corporate tax) and when we receive the dividend we are subject to income tax (double taxation!)</p>\n<p>While Buffett enjoys greater tax efficiency, we suffer great tax inefficiency. This is why following everything the Sage of Omaha does is foolish. This, in my humble opinion, includes investing personally in Kraft Heinz.</p>\n<p>Kraft Heinz is a mediocre business with little prospect for growth and some of its brands are in fact in decline.I wouldn't buy it. I wouldn't recommend you to buy it either. But for Buffett it does make a great deal of sense (commentators/journalists in the investing community take note!).</p>\n<p>If you want to derive the financial benefits that Buffett is able to extract from his investment in Kraft Heinz and other holdings in his portfolio then my advice to you is to invest in Berkshire Hathaway rather than investing in the companies that Berkshire Hathaway invests in.</p>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway - Underpriced By At Least 20%</p>\n<p>I believe Berkshire Hathaway to be vastly underpriced today as I shall go on to explain.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd35aaa75c637e9b1f67c110081a4d0e\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Data byYCharts</p>\n<p>Valuing Berkshire Hathaway is a complex affair due to the fact that it requires analysis on a sum of parts basis. I could write a small book on a single valuation and so it is well outside the scope of this article.</p>\n<p>However, there are some quick and dirty valuation techniques that one may deploy to provide a good indication of value. They invariably require a little Sherlock Holmes sleuth work of reading between the lines to find valuable valuation clues. Allow me to explain one of them.</p>\n<p>Buffett is still buying back Berkshire Stock at an unprecedented rate. This is a first major clue.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Buffett bought back about $9bn of stock in H2 2020 and buybacks continue at pace.</li>\n <li>There were approximately $6.6 billion worth of buybacks during Q1 2021.</li>\n <li>Buybacks in the second quarter of 2021 may be calculated as follows. The April 22ndForm 10-Q filing reveals the amount spent on buybacks between March 31st(end of Q1) and April 22nd.So this is known to be $1.4 billion. On June 21stBerkshire’s13D filing(associated with its regular contribution of Berkshire shares to the Gates Foundation - $4.1bn USD on this occasion) allows us to calculate buybacks that occurred between April 22ndand June 21st. We do this by taking the statement of Buffett’s economic interest of 15.8% to calculate the number of shares outstanding at June 21st. This indicates that Berkshire had 2.265 billion class B share equivalent outstanding on June 21 (with class A stock converted to class B). This is down about 23 million since March 31 and 18 million lower that the April 22 figure. The implication being that over $5bn of stock was repurchased in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QTWO\">Q2</a> 2021. But June 21stis not the end of Q2, so if we extrapolate the data to the end of the quarter we arrive at approximately $7bn of repurchases in Q2.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>So in the last 12 months Buffett has spent a not insignificant $22.6bn buying back Berkshire stock.</p>\n<p>What does this tell us?</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FBNC\">First</a>, let’s take a step back and consider what we know about Buffett's threshold for buying back stock.</p>\n<p>Share buy-backs are among the most misunderstood and also the most abused aspects of modern capitalism. This is a huge topic and I devote an entire chapter of my book to it for anyone interested. However, for the purpose of this article know this. When executed above true book value (most of the time) buybacks will erode shareholder equity.</p>\n<p>This is not particularly well understood by shareholders or C-Suite executives. Accordingly I shall use this opportunity to explain how this works in practice with a simple analogy.</p>\n<p>Imagine owning a $1m house equally with your partner. Personally you also have $750,000 cash in the bank, so the total value of your personal assets is half of the house ($500,000) plus $750,000 cash. A total of $1.25m.</p>\n<p>You offer to buy your partner’s share in the house which has a book value of $500,000 (half of $1m).</p>\n<p>You ought to be happy paying anything up to $500,000 (a multiple to book that is less than or equal to 1) but you should not be prepared to pay more than that number. Buying at a premium (where the PB multiple is greater than 1) erodes the total value of your assets by the amount of the premium paid. If you don’t believe me, allow me to demonstrate the fact.</p>\n<p>If you pay $600,000 for your partner's share of the house (a multiple of 1.2x book) what do your assets look like after the deal? You now have a $1m house and a balance of $150,000 cash in the bank. Now your total asset value has shrunk from $1.25m to $1.15m. You have eroded your personal wealth by $100,000 which is the amount by which you overpaid for the share of the house.</p>\n<p>The same is true when repurchasing company stock above book – it destroys shareholder value in exactly the same way.</p>\n<p>The opposite is also true - so repurchasing below book is accretive to shareholder value.</p>\n<p>While a repurchase operation will always be presented as a means of returning value to the shareholders, the ugly truth is that buy-backs more often than not destroy shareholder value.</p>\n<p>Buffett understands this very well. Judging by the number of companies that repurchase their own stock at huge premiums to book I can confidently say that Buffett is one of the few CEOs who does understand it.</p>\n<p>The quick witted readers will now be asking, “Why then has Buffett been paying 1.1x book and then 1.2x book for stock repurchases?”</p>\n<p>Great question!</p>\n<p>The answer is simple and it brings us back to our Sherlock Holmes conclusions on the valuation of Berkshire Hathaway.</p>\n<p>Many of the assets bought by Buffett over the years are recorded on the Berkshire Hathaway balance sheet at cost rather than at their true market value. Said differently, the value of Berkshire's assets is vastly understated in its annual and quarterly reports. This means that when Buffett says that he will repurchase at 1.2x book, what he is actually saying is that the book value understates the true value of the business and that every 83 cents on the balance sheet is really worth $1 in the real world. This means that 1.2x of reported book value is equivalent to no more than 1.0x real book value.</p>\n<p>Now I hope that you can see where I am going with my detective work.</p>\n<p>Buffett is way too sharp to destroy shareholder equity by overpaying for Berkshire Stock, not least because he is Berkshire's largest shareholder! Buffett will only be interested in allocating capital in such a way that is accretive to shareholder value, namely at a multiple of book less than 1.0x.</p>\n<p>Now consider that no-one, other than perhaps Charlie Munger, knows the true value of Berkshire Hathaway better than Buffett. So, reading between the lines, Buffett is telling us that the true value of the business is at least 20% higher than the share price implies, we ought to capitalize on that information!</p>\n<p>It is also worthy of note that as the number of shares decreases due to buybacks, the price per share representing a true 1.0x book value also increases. Appreciation in the underlying value of balance sheet assets also pushes the threshold price higher. This explains why Buffett is constantly re-assessing the price at which he is prepared to buy back his own stock.</p>\n<p>I hope that this was helpful.</p>\n<p>I devote an entire chapter of my book \"Success in the Stock Market\" to the topic of buybacks and so I have only scratched the surface in this comment. If you are interested in learning more please take a look at the book.</p>\n<p>By the way, I am long Berkshire Hathaway. I believe it to be vastly undervalued currently and my more detailed analysis suggests that it is trading at between 69c and 77c on the $1. For this reason I think that Buffett will continue to repurchase for quite some time to come.</p>\n<p>I wish you every success in your investing endeavours.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Berkshire Hathaway: At Least 20% Underpriced, And The Kraft Heinz Position</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\">\nBerkshire Hathaway: At Least 20% Underpriced, And The Kraft Heinz Position\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-05 11:02 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437727-berkshire-hathaway-at-least-20-percent-underpriced-and-the-kraft-heinz-position><strong>seeking alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nInvestment commentators seem to derive a misplaced sense of schadenfreude from Buffett's investment in Kraft Heinz.\nThe Warren Buffett fan club blindly follow the Sage of Omaha and have not ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437727-berkshire-hathaway-at-least-20-percent-underpriced-and-the-kraft-heinz-position\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BRK.B":"伯克希尔B","BRK.A":"伯克希尔","KHC":"卡夫亨氏"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437727-berkshire-hathaway-at-least-20-percent-underpriced-and-the-kraft-heinz-position","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1166658180","content_text":"Summary\n\nInvestment commentators seem to derive a misplaced sense of schadenfreude from Buffett's investment in Kraft Heinz.\nThe Warren Buffett fan club blindly follow the Sage of Omaha and have not been well rewarded in relation to their personal investments in Kraft Heinz.\nThe truth is that neither group understands the Kraft Heinz investment made by Buffett.

But this does not make it a bad investment.\nThese commentators, together with the Warren Buffett fan club who blindly follow their icon, fail to understand why Buffett invested in Kraft Heinz. So I shall attempt to break it down in this short article.\nWhat Works For Buffett Will Not Work For You\nMost of Berkshire’s (BRK.A) investments in stocks are held by its insurance companies. Buffett has always utilized the float from his insurance businesses to invest wisely and to enhance his returns. Very smart, but I guess that you cannot follow suit because you may not own any insurance companies.\nThe remainder of its stock portfolio is held within the finance, rail and utilities, and at the holding company level of the Berkshire Hathaway group.\nDividends of stocks at the insurers are 8.4% (40% of the 21% federal rate).Dividends on stocks held by the other subsidiaries and the holding company are taxed at 6.2% (30% of the 21% federal rate).\nSo, let us focus on Kraft Heinz -Berkshire owns approximately 26.7% of that company.\nBuffett's Kraft Heinz shares are held by the parent company and because Berkshire owns more than 20% of the business, but less than 50%, it is deemed to be in 'a position of control' and so must account for its investmentusing the “equity method” of accounting.\nFrom a tax standpoint, dividends are taxed by the holding company at 4.2%, which is an 80% discount from the 21% corporate tax rate.\nNow consider that Kraft Heinz is a mature business which is stable but beyond the rapid growth phase of yesteryear.

Even more of a genius!\nI cover this kind of thing in my book \"Success in the Stock Market\" if any of you is interested in learning more.\nSo, returning to the topic of this article, what works for Buffett will not work for you.\nAccounting for positions using the equity method requires that Berkshire’s pro-rata portion of Kraft Heinz’s reported income be included in Berkshire’s income and serves to increase Berkshire’s cost basis by the amount of the pro-rata profit. Dividends received are an offset, effectively a return of capital, and reduce Berkshire’s cost basis by the amount of the dividend. The combination increases the cost basis by the amount of undistributed earnings. Cash taxes are paid by Berkshire only on the amount received as dividends. The undistributed earnings (retained by Kraft Heinz) are included in a deferred tax liability and are payable when Berkshire receives a cash distribution or when it sells the position. The deferred tax liability is created using Berkshire’s corporate tax rate of 21%. Berkshire applies a Dividend Received Deduction “DRD” on the dividends it receives as it expects undistributed earnings to ultimately be distributed. It’s this assumption by Berkshire that allows it to offset its 21% tax rate with an 80% deduction. Thus dividends from Kraft Heinz are now taxed at 4.2% and the deferred tax liability building for retained earnings by Kraft Heinz is established using a 21% tax rate.\nNow consider the situation for you and me if Kraft Heinz was in our own private portfolio. With little or no capital growth prospects all we have is the dividend income. That is paid out of Kraft Heinz's net earnings (so after it has paid corporate tax) and when we receive the dividend we are subject to income tax (double taxation!)\nWhile Buffett enjoys greater tax efficiency, we suffer great tax inefficiency. This is why following everything the Sage of Omaha does is foolish. This, in my humble opinion, includes investing personally in Kraft Heinz.\nKraft Heinz is a mediocre business with little prospect for growth and some of its brands are in fact in decline.I wouldn't buy it. I wouldn't recommend you to buy it either. But for Buffett it does make a great deal of sense (commentators/journalists in the investing community take note!).\nIf you want to derive the financial benefits that Buffett is able to extract from his investment in Kraft Heinz and other holdings in his portfolio then my advice to you is to invest in Berkshire Hathaway rather than investing in the companies that Berkshire Hathaway invests in.\nBerkshire Hathaway - Underpriced By At Least 20%\nI believe Berkshire Hathaway to be vastly underpriced today as I shall go on to explain.\nData byYCharts\nValuing Berkshire Hathaway is a complex affair due to the fact that it requires analysis on a sum of parts basis. I could write a small book on a single valuation and so it is well outside the scope of this article.\nHowever, there are some quick and dirty valuation techniques that one may deploy to provide a good indication of value. They invariably require a little Sherlock Holmes sleuth work of reading between the lines to find valuable valuation clues. Allow me to explain one of them.\nBuffett is still buying back Berkshire Stock at an unprecedented rate. This is a first major clue.\n\nBuffett bought back about $9bn of stock in H2 2020 and buybacks continue at pace.\nThere were approximately $6.6 billion worth of buybacks during Q1 2021.\nBuybacks in the second quarter of 2021 may be calculated as follows. The April 22ndForm 10-Q filing reveals the amount spent on buybacks between March 31st(end of Q1) and April 22nd.So this is known to be $1.4 billion. On June 21stBerkshire’s13D filing(associated with its regular contribution of Berkshire shares to the Gates Foundation - $4.1bn USD on this occasion) allows us to calculate buybacks that occurred between April 22ndand June 21st. We do this by taking the statement of Buffett’s economic interest of 15.8% to calculate the number of shares outstanding at June 21st. This indicates that Berkshire had 2.265 billion class B share equivalent outstanding on June 21 (with class A stock converted to class B). This is down about 23 million since March 31 and 18 million lower that the April 22 figure. The implication being that over $5bn of stock was repurchased in Q2 2021. But June 21stis not the end of Q2, so if we extrapolate the data to the end of the quarter we arrive at approximately $7bn of repurchases in Q2.\n\nSo in the last 12 months Buffett has spent a not insignificant $22.6bn buying back Berkshire stock.\nWhat does this tell us?\nFirst, let’s take a step back and consider what we know about Buffett's threshold for buying back stock.\nShare buy-backs are among the most misunderstood and also the most abused aspects of modern capitalism. This is a huge topic and I devote an entire chapter of my book to it for anyone interested. However, for the purpose of this article know this. When executed above true book value (most of the time) buybacks will erode shareholder equity.\nThis is not particularly well understood by shareholders or C-Suite executives. Accordingly I shall use this opportunity to explain how this works in practice with a simple analogy.\nImagine owning a $1m house equally with your partner. Personally you also have $750,000 cash in the bank, so the total value of your personal assets is half of the house ($500,000) plus $750,000 cash. A total of $1.25m.\nYou offer to buy your partner’s share in the house which has a book value of $500,000 (half of $1m).\nYou ought to be happy paying anything up to $500,000 (a multiple to book that is less than or equal to 1) but you should not be prepared to pay more than that number. Buying at a premium (where the PB multiple is greater than 1) erodes the total value of your assets by the amount of the premium paid. If you don’t believe me, allow me to demonstrate the fact.\nIf you pay $600,000 for your partner's share of the house (a multiple of 1.2x book) what do your assets look like after the deal? You now have a $1m house and a balance of $150,000 cash in the bank. Now your total asset value has shrunk from $1.25m to $1.15m. You have eroded your personal wealth by $100,000 which is the amount by which you overpaid for the share of the house.\nThe same is true when repurchasing company stock above book – it destroys shareholder value in exactly the same way.\nThe opposite is also true - so repurchasing below book is accretive to shareholder value.\nWhile a repurchase operation will always be presented as a means of returning value to the shareholders, the ugly truth is that buy-backs more often than not destroy shareholder value.\nBuffett understands this very well. Judging by the number of companies that repurchase their own stock at huge premiums to book I can confidently say that Buffett is one of the few CEOs who does understand it.\nThe quick witted readers will now be asking, “Why then has Buffett been paying 1.1x book and then 1.2x book for stock repurchases?”\nGreat question!\nThe answer is simple and it brings us back to our Sherlock Holmes conclusions on the valuation of Berkshire Hathaway.\nMany of the assets bought by Buffett over the years are recorded on the Berkshire Hathaway balance sheet at cost rather than at their true market value. Said differently, the value of Berkshire's assets is vastly understated in its annual and quarterly reports. This means that when Buffett says that he will repurchase at 1.2x book, what he is actually saying is that the book value understates the true value of the business and that every 83 cents on the balance sheet is really worth $1 in the real world. This means that 1.2x of reported book value is equivalent to no more than 1.0x real book value.\nNow I hope that you can see where I am going with my detective work.\nBuffett is way too sharp to destroy shareholder equity by overpaying for Berkshire Stock, not least because he is Berkshire's largest shareholder! Buffett will only be interested in allocating capital in such a way that is accretive to shareholder value, namely at a multiple of book less than 1.0x.\nNow consider that no-one, other than perhaps Charlie Munger, knows the true value of Berkshire Hathaway better than Buffett. So, reading between the lines, Buffett is telling us that the true value of the business is at least 20% higher than the share price implies, we ought to capitalize on that information!\nIt is also worthy of note that as the number of shares decreases due to buybacks, the price per share representing a true 1.0x book value also increases. Appreciation in the underlying value of balance sheet assets also pushes the threshold price higher. This explains why Buffett is constantly re-assessing the price at which he is prepared to buy back his own stock.\nI hope that this was helpful.\nI devote an entire chapter of my book \"Success in the Stock Market\" to the topic of buybacks and so I have only scratched the surface in this comment. If you are interested in learning more please take a look at the book.\nBy the way, I am long Berkshire Hathaway. I believe it to be vastly undervalued currently and my more detailed analysis suggests that it is trading at between 69c and 77c on the $1. For this reason I think that Buffett will continue to repurchase for quite some time to come.\nI wish you every success in your investing endeavours.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":496,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":154057209,"gmtCreate":1625462942501,"gmtModify":1703742214450,"author":{"id":"3578385220008893","authorId":"3578385220008893","name":"b14293","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eacdce655041c0b71bd11ebb6ae685c3","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578385220008893","authorIdStr":"3578385220008893"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ev is the new future","listText":"Ev is the new future","text":"Ev is the new future","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/154057209","repostId":"1193340451","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1193340451","pubTimestamp":1625456464,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1193340451?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-05 11:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Bank of America: Billions are about to pour into EV infrastructure — and these stocks will benefit","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1193340451","media":"CNBC","summary":"Electric vehicle adoption is at an inflection point, according toBank of Americaanalysts who identified a new way to play the trend.

An increasing need for EVcharging technologyis set to benefit a raft of global stocks, according to the bank, including semiconductor and Big Oil companies, as well as auto suppliers.\nBank of America analysts led by Harry Wyburd flagged a rapid rise in ownership of electric vehicles, with EVs on Europe’s roads up 100% since pre-Covid.\nIn a research note published last week, they wrote: “Our updated charger forecasts see c. [circa] $80bn of potential charging infrastructure investment by 2040E [estimate].”\nThe bank estimates there are currently around nine public charging points per 100 electric vehicles in Europe and expects the number to rise as more of the cars hit the road. BofA also expects “significant” growth in home charging points, with around 60 million electric connectors by 2030.\nBofA’s stock picks include:\nSemiconductors\n“We estimate that power semiconductor demand related to charger deployments in Europe can increase from low tens of millions of US dollars per annum to c$50m per annum by 2025 and c$100m per annum by 2030,” the analysts stated, pickingInfineonandSTMicroas beneficiaries of this.\nOil majors\nBig Oil can create “significant value” from “shifting their equity story to Big Energy,” with more of a focus on decarbonization, according to BofA. Its analysts noted the shift was becoming more urgent for these companies, given shareholder pressure and the Hague District Court’sdemands for Shellto meet climate targets set out in the Paris Agreement.\nThe analysts pickedBP,ShellandTotaland said: “We believe EV charging will grow in importance in linking Big Oil’s existing Marketing footprints (including global brand recognition and backing from their commodity trading desks) with Big Oils’ expansion into electricity supply.”\nAuto suppliers\nValeomakes parts for EVs of all sizes as well as a range of charging components for the likes ofVWand Mercedes.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished with a gain of about 9 points after being up more than 100 points earlier in the session, closing at 34,292.29. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite added about 0.2% for its own record of 14,528.33.\nHomebuilder stocks moved higher after S&P Case-Shiller saidhome prices rose more than 14% in Aprilcompared to the prior year. Five U.S. cities, including Seattle, saw their largest annual increase on record. Shares of PulteGroup rose 2%.\nSemiconductor stocks gained strength later in the session, with Skyworks and Advanced Micro Devices climbing 4.5% and 2.8%, respectively. General Electric boosted the industrials sector, rising over 1% afterGoldman Sachs named the stock a top idea.\nThe market has churned out a series of record highs in recent weeks, but the gains have been relatively modest and some strategists have pointed to weak market breadth, measured by the performance of the average stock and the number of individual names making new highs, as a potential area of concern.\nOn Tuesday, there were slightly more declining stocks in the S&P 500 than those that rose during the session.\nHowever, the diminished breadth and volatility could simply be a natural pause during the summer months ahead of the busy earnings season in July, said Bill McMahon, the chief investment officer for active equity strategies at Charles Schwab Investment Management.\n\"I think people are in a little bit of a wait-and-see mode, so it's not surprising to see volatility decline and breadth worsen a tad,\" McMahon said, adding that concern about the spreading Delta variant of Covid-19 could also be weighing on stocks.\nShares of Morgan Stanley jumped more than 3% after the bank said it willdouble its quarterly dividend. The bank also announced a $12 billion stock buyback program. The announcement follows last week's stress tests by the Federal Reserve, which all 23 major banks passed. However, some other bank stocks gave up early gains and weighed on the broader indexes despite increasing their own payout plans.\nThe Conference Board's consumer confidence reading for June came in higher than expected, adding to the bullish readings about the economic recovery.\nWith the market entering the final trading days of June and the second quarter, the S&P 500 is on track to register its fifth straight month of gains. The Nasdaq is pacing for its seventh positive month in the last eight. The Dow, however, is in the red for the month, and on track to snap a four-month winning streak.\nSo far in 2021, the S&P 500 has added 14%, while the Nasdaq has added more than 12% with the Dow close behind.\nJPMorgan quantitative strategist Dubravkos Lakos-Bujas said on CNBC's \"Squawk Box\" that the market appeared to have near-term upside.\n\"The growth policy backdrop in our opinion still remains supportive for risk assets in general, certainly including equities. At the same time, the positioning is not really stretched to where we are in a problematic territory. So we do think there is still a runway. ... The summer period, the next two months, is where I think the market continues to break out,\" the strategist said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":88,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":159033357,"gmtCreate":1624930494079,"gmtModify":1703848167834,"author":{"id":"3578385220008893","authorId":"3578385220008893","name":"b14293","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eacdce655041c0b71bd11ebb6ae685c3","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578385220008893","authorIdStr":"3578385220008893"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/159033357","repostId":"2147837316","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2147837316","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1624921533,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2147837316?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-29 07:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tech stock rally sends S&P and Nasdaq to record highs","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2147837316","media":"Reuters","summary":" - The Nasdaq and S&P 500 hit all-time highs on Monday, fueled by tech stocks as investors expect a robust earnings season while interest rates remain low.Big tech companies including Facebook Inc, Netflix Inc, Twitter Inc and Nvidia Corp were among the biggest boosts to the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq.The S&P 500 continued its recent momentum after paring some earlier losses, recording its third record high in a row, after logging its best weekly performance in 20 weeks last Friday.In contrast, cycl","content":"<p>(Reuters) - The Nasdaq and S&amp;P 500 hit all-time highs on Monday, fueled by tech stocks as investors expect a robust earnings season while interest rates remain low.</p>\n<p>Big tech companies including Facebook Inc, Netflix Inc, Twitter Inc and Nvidia Corp were among the biggest boosts to the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq.</p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 continued its recent momentum after paring some earlier losses, recording its third record high in a row, after logging its best weekly performance in 20 weeks last Friday.</p>\n<p>In contrast, cyclical sectors dropped sharply amid fears over a spike in COVID-19 cases across Asia.

Financials and energy posted the biggest sectoral loss on S&P 500, down by 0.81% and 3.33%, respectively.\n“It’s end of the quarter and investors may want to take some profits and rotate out of energy and stick with tech,” said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research in New York.\nStovall expects stocks should continue their near-term climb as investors await the new earnings season, in which year-over-year earnings growth of S&P 500 companies is expected to top 60%.\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 150.57 points, or 0.44%, to close at 34,283.27. The S&P 500 pared earlier losses and advanced from Friday’s record high by gaining 9.91 points, or 0.23%, to 4,290.61. The Nasdaq Composite added 140.12 points, or 0.98%, to 14,500.51.\nBoth the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq hit a series of record highs last week. the tech-heavy Nasdaq’s 5% gain in June is outpacing its peers as investors pile back in to tech-oriented growth stocks on diminishing worries about runaway inflation.\n“We believe with the Fed putting a realistic goal post, investors now have much more of a risk-on mentality going into the second half of the year. A lot of these tech names have underperformed, while fundamentals were very robust going into the June quarter,” said Wedbush Securities analyst Daniel Ives, who expects the Nasdaq to hit 16,000 by year-end.\nFacebook jumped over 4% as a U.S. judge granted the company’s motion to dismiss a Federal Trade Commission lawsuit. The social media giant finished Monday with over $1 trillion in market capitalization.\nOn the Nasdaq 100, the largest gainer was Nvidia Corp, which rose 5.0% after major chip makers Broadcom Inc, Marvell and Taiwan-based MediaTek endorsed its $40 billion deal to buy UK chip designer Arm.\nWith the S&P 500 up almost 14% as the first half of 2021 draws to a close, activity in some areas of the market indicates concern over potential volatility, with some investors suggesting the market may be overdue for a significant pullback.\nOn the economic front, investor attention will be focused on consumer confidence data, a private jobs report and a crucial monthly employment report due later this week. Quarterly results from Micron Technology Inc and Walgreens Boots Alliance are also slated for this week.\nDeclining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 1.38-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.09-to-1 ratio favored decliners.\nThe S&P 500 posted 36 new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 100 new highs and 31 new lows.\nVolume on U.S. exchanges was 9.55 billion shares, compared with the 11.17 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":168,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":127101543,"gmtCreate":1624838205982,"gmtModify":1703845709536,"author":{"id":"3578385220008893","authorId":"3578385220008893","name":"b14293","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eacdce655041c0b71bd11ebb6ae685c3","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578385220008893","authorIdStr":"3578385220008893"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Time to take profit?&nbsp;","listText":"Time to take profit?&nbsp;","text":"Time to take profit?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/127101543","repostId":"1149670859","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1149670859","pubTimestamp":1624836323,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1149670859?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-28 07:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Britain bans Binance's UK ops in latest cryptocurrency crackdown","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1149670859","media":"Reuters","summary":"LONDON (Reuters) -Britain's financial regulator has said Binance, one of the world's largest cryptoc","content":"<p>LONDON (Reuters) -Britain's financial regulator has said Binance, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, cannot conduct any regulated activity and issued a warning to consumers about the platform, which is coming under growing scrutiny globally.</p>\n<p>In a notice dated June 25, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said Binance Markets Ltd, Binance's only regulated UK entity, \"must not, without the prior written consent of the FCA, carry out any regulated activities... with immediate effect\".</p>\n<p>It also issued a warning to consumers about Binance Markets and the wider Binance group.</p>\n<p>Binance said in a statement that Binance Markets, which it acquired in 2020, was not yet using its regulatory permissions, and that the FCA's move would not impact services offered on its Binance.com website.</p>\n<p>\"We take a collaborative approach in working with regulators and we take our compliance obligations very seriously.

That's because the Oracle of Omaha's track record is virtually unsurpassed. Since taking the reins of <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) in the mid-1960s, Buffett's company has averaged an annual return of 20%. This works out to an aggregate gain of greater than 2,800,000% for its Class A shares.</p>\n<p>Although Buffett isn't perfect, he and his investing team have a knack for identifying attractively valued businesses that have clear competitive advantages. As we prepare to move into the second half of 2021, the following five Buffett stocks stand out as those that should be bought hand over fist.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1077c8372814d2b8150e933b4c608005\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.</span></p>\n<h2>Amazon</h2>\n<p>Even though Buffett's investing lieutenants, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, are the architects behind Berkshire Hathaway's stake in <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN), it's arguably the Buffett stock that should be bought most aggressively ahead of the second half of the year.</p>\n<p>As most folks probably know, Amazon is an e-commerce juggernaut. Based on an April report from eMarketer, the company effectively controls $0.40 of every $1 spent online in the United States. It's also pivoted its online retail popularity into signing up more than 200 million people to its Prime program worldwide. The fees Amazon collects from Prime help it to undercut its competition on price. And it certainly doesn't hurt that Prime members tend to spend many multiples more than non-Prime shoppers during the course of the year.</p>\n<p>But it's the company's cloud infrastructure service, Amazon Web Services (AWS), that has truly budded into a star. Since the operating margins associated with cloud infrastructure are considerably higher than what Amazon nets from retail and advertising, AWS' growth is leading to a surge in operating cash flow. If investors were to continue to pay the midpoint of Amazon's operating cash flow multiple over the past decade, it could hit $10,000 a share by 2025.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b18b49b2b35da2fc49e0a83b883d1c22\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Bristol Myers Squibb</h2>\n<p>Pharmaceutical stocks are money machines, and none looks to be more attractive on a valuation basis than <b>Bristol Myers Squibb</b> (NYSE:BMY).</p>\n<p>One reason to be excited about this drug developer is its organic growth potential. Eliquis, which was co-developed with <b>Pfizer</b>, has blossomed into the world's leading oral anticoagulant, with sales expected to surpass $10 billion in 2021. Meanwhile, dozens of additional clinical trials are underway for cancer immunotherapy Opdivo, which generated $7 billion in sales last year. This offers plenty of opportunity to expand Opdivo's label and pump up its pricing power.</p>\n<p>Another reason Bristol Myers Squibb is such an intriguing stock is its November 2019 acquisition of cancer and immunology company Celgene. Buying Celgene brought the blockbuster multiple-myeloma drug Revlimid into the fold. Revlimid has sustainably grown its annual sales by a double-digit percentage for more than a decade, with label expansion, longer duration of use, and pricing power all playing a role. This key treatment, which topped $12 billion in sales last year, is protected from a full onslaught of generic competition until early 2026. That means Bristol Myers will be rolling in the dough for another five years, at minimum.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1b152e369d7c967dcbc926192ee888c1\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"531\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Mastercard</h2>\n<p>Everyone seems to be looking for the smartest recovery play from the pandemic. Payment processor <b>Mastercard</b> (NYSE:MA) might well be the safest way to take advantage of a steady uptick in consumer and enterprise spending.</p>\n<p>Mastercard isn't a cheap stock by any means -- at 36 times Wall Street's forward-year earnings consensus -- but it benefits from a simple numbers game. While economic contractions and recessions are inevitable, these periods of turbulence tend to be short-lived. By comparison, economic expansions often last many years. Buying into Mastercard allows investors to take full advantage of these long periods of economic expansion and robust spending. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Mastercard has the second-highest share of credit-card network purchase volume in the U.S., the leading market for consumption.</p>\n<p>Investors can also sleep easy with the understanding that Mastercard strictly sticks to payment facilitation. Even though some of its peers also lend, and are therefore able to generate interest income and fees during bull markets, Mastercard has avoided becoming a lender. It's something you'll truly appreciate when a recession strikes. Whereas most financial stocks will be forced to set aside capital to cover credit or loan delinquencies, Mastercard won't have to. This is a big reason it bounces back from recessions quicker than most financial stocks.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e4e1a1fe028efa4c966b66ef2cd466f5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Teva Pharmaceutical Industries</h2>\n<p>If you have an appetite for turnaround plays, brand-name and generic-drug developer <b>Teva Pharmaceutical Industries</b> (NYSE:TEVA) is the stock to buy hand over fist for the second half of 2021. Like Amazon, it's a stock that was added to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio by either Combs or Weschler and not Buffett.</p>\n<p>While there's no denying that Teva has its fair share of hurdles to overcome, the company's turnaround-focused CEO, Kare Schultz, has been a blessing. Since taking the helm less than four years ago, Schultz has helped shave off more than $10 billion in net debt, and he's overseen the reduction of roughly $3 billion in annual operating expenses. There's more work to do to improve Teva's balance sheet, but the company is very clearly on much firmer ground than it was back in 2016-2017.</p>\n<p>Schultz also has the potential to play peacemaker for a number of outstanding lawsuits targeting Teva's role in the opioid crisis. If this litigation can be resolved with minimal cash outlay, Teva's valuation could soar. At just 4 times the company's projected earnings in 2021, Teva is about as cheap as a healthcare stock can get.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/44a30c4dfd6886a29e22d3c6558c3e56\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Bank of America</h2>\n<p>Lastly, bank stock <b>Bank of America</b> (NYSE:BAC) has the look of a company that can be confidently bought hand over fist for the second half of 2021.</p>\n<p>For much of the past decade, the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates at or near historic lows. That's meant less in the way of interest income for banks. But the latest update from the nation's central bank suggests that interest rates could begin creeping up in 2023, a year earlier than previously forecast. Bank of America is the most interest-sensitive money-center bank. According to its first-quarter investor presentation, BofA would generate $8.3 billion in net interest income on a 100-basis-point shift in the interest rate yield curve.

That's because the Oracle of Omaha's track record is virtually unsurpassed. Since taking the reins of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) in the mid-1960s, Buffett's company has averaged an annual return of 20%. This works out to an aggregate gain of greater than 2,800,000% for its Class A shares.\nAlthough Buffett isn't perfect, he and his investing team have a knack for identifying attractively valued businesses that have clear competitive advantages. As we prepare to move into the second half of 2021, the following five Buffett stocks stand out as those that should be bought hand over fist.\nBerkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.\nAmazon\nEven though Buffett's investing lieutenants, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, are the architects behind Berkshire Hathaway's stake in Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), it's arguably the Buffett stock that should be bought most aggressively ahead of the second half of the year.\nAs most folks probably know, Amazon is an e-commerce juggernaut. Based on an April report from eMarketer, the company effectively controls $0.40 of every $1 spent online in the United States. It's also pivoted its online retail popularity into signing up more than 200 million people to its Prime program worldwide. The fees Amazon collects from Prime help it to undercut its competition on price. And it certainly doesn't hurt that Prime members tend to spend many multiples more than non-Prime shoppers during the course of the year.\nBut it's the company's cloud infrastructure service, Amazon Web Services (AWS), that has truly budded into a star. Since the operating margins associated with cloud infrastructure are considerably higher than what Amazon nets from retail and advertising, AWS' growth is leading to a surge in operating cash flow. If investors were to continue to pay the midpoint of Amazon's operating cash flow multiple over the past decade, it could hit $10,000 a share by 2025.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBristol Myers Squibb\nPharmaceutical stocks are money machines, and none looks to be more attractive on a valuation basis than Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY).\nOne reason to be excited about this drug developer is its organic growth potential. Eliquis, which was co-developed with Pfizer, has blossomed into the world's leading oral anticoagulant, with sales expected to surpass $10 billion in 2021. Meanwhile, dozens of additional clinical trials are underway for cancer immunotherapy Opdivo, which generated $7 billion in sales last year. This offers plenty of opportunity to expand Opdivo's label and pump up its pricing power.\nAnother reason Bristol Myers Squibb is such an intriguing stock is its November 2019 acquisition of cancer and immunology company Celgene. Buying Celgene brought the blockbuster multiple-myeloma drug Revlimid into the fold. Revlimid has sustainably grown its annual sales by a double-digit percentage for more than a decade, with label expansion, longer duration of use, and pricing power all playing a role. This key treatment, which topped $12 billion in sales last year, is protected from a full onslaught of generic competition until early 2026. That means Bristol Myers will be rolling in the dough for another five years, at minimum.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nMastercard\nEveryone seems to be looking for the smartest recovery play from the pandemic. Payment processor Mastercard (NYSE:MA) might well be the safest way to take advantage of a steady uptick in consumer and enterprise spending.\nMastercard isn't a cheap stock by any means -- at 36 times Wall Street's forward-year earnings consensus -- but it benefits from a simple numbers game. While economic contractions and recessions are inevitable, these periods of turbulence tend to be short-lived. By comparison, economic expansions often last many years. Buying into Mastercard allows investors to take full advantage of these long periods of economic expansion and robust spending. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Mastercard has the second-highest share of credit-card network purchase volume in the U.S., the leading market for consumption.\nInvestors can also sleep easy with the understanding that Mastercard strictly sticks to payment facilitation. Even though some of its peers also lend, and are therefore able to generate interest income and fees during bull markets, Mastercard has avoided becoming a lender. It's something you'll truly appreciate when a recession strikes. Whereas most financial stocks will be forced to set aside capital to cover credit or loan delinquencies, Mastercard won't have to. This is a big reason it bounces back from recessions quicker than most financial stocks.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nTeva Pharmaceutical Industries\nIf you have an appetite for turnaround plays, brand-name and generic-drug developer Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE:TEVA) is the stock to buy hand over fist for the second half of 2021. Like Amazon, it's a stock that was added to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio by either Combs or Weschler and not Buffett.\nWhile there's no denying that Teva has its fair share of hurdles to overcome, the company's turnaround-focused CEO, Kare Schultz, has been a blessing. Since taking the helm less than four years ago, Schultz has helped shave off more than $10 billion in net debt, and he's overseen the reduction of roughly $3 billion in annual operating expenses. There's more work to do to improve Teva's balance sheet, but the company is very clearly on much firmer ground than it was back in 2016-2017.\nSchultz also has the potential to play peacemaker for a number of outstanding lawsuits targeting Teva's role in the opioid crisis. If this litigation can be resolved with minimal cash outlay, Teva's valuation could soar. At just 4 times the company's projected earnings in 2021, Teva is about as cheap as a healthcare stock can get.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBank of America\nLastly, bank stock Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) has the look of a company that can be confidently bought hand over fist for the second half of 2021.\nFor much of the past decade, the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates at or near historic lows. That's meant less in the way of interest income for banks. But the latest update from the nation's central bank suggests that interest rates could begin creeping up in 2023, a year earlier than previously forecast. Bank of America is the most interest-sensitive money-center bank. According to its first-quarter investor presentation, BofA would generate $8.3 billion in net interest income on a 100-basis-point shift in the interest rate yield curve. Translation: Bank of America's profits should rocket higher beginning in 2023-2024.\nAt the same time, BofA has done an outstanding job of controlling its costs and improving its operating efficiency. Investments in digitization have resulted in higher mobile app and digital banking use, which is allowing the company to consolidate some of its branches. Even with its shares at a 13-year high, Bank of America has plenty left in the tank.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":143,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":122070826,"gmtCreate":1624590272765,"gmtModify":1703841166615,"author":{"id":"3578385220008893","authorId":"3578385220008893","name":"b14293","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eacdce655041c0b71bd11ebb6ae685c3","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578385220008893","authorIdStr":"3578385220008893"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"More utility for bitcoin the better","listText":"More utility for bitcoin the better","text":"More utility for bitcoin the better","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/122070826","repostId":"2146021046","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2146021046","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1624589404,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2146021046?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-25 10:50","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"Bitcoin to become legal tender in El Salvador on Sept 7","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2146021046","media":"Reuters","summary":"SAN SALVADOR, June 24 (Reuters) - El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele said in a national address on","content":"<p>SAN SALVADOR, June 24 (Reuters) - El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele said in a national address on Thursday that a recently passed law making bitcoin legal tender will take effect on Sept. 7, noting that its use will be optional.</p>\n<p>El Salvador's Congress on June 9 approved Bukele's proposal to embrace the cryptocurrency, making El Salvador the first country in the world to adopt bitcoin as legal tender.</p>\n<p>\"The use of bitcoin will be optional, nobody will receive bitcoin if they don't want it...

More broadly, volatility in China’s $12 trillion stock market remains low -- with the gauge trading near its 200-day moving average -- after officials helped suppress frenzied trading earlier this year.\n“We do not expect Chinese markets to be particularly volatile into the CCP anniversary,” said Gary Dugan, chief executive officer at asset manager Global CIO Office in Singapore.\nWhile the yuan has turned wilder -- and weaker -- Beijing had already been trying to restrain appreciation after the currency rose to a three-year high against the dollar. In the past month, authorities forced lenders to hold more foreign currencies in reserve and expanded a quota for funds to invest overseas to a record $147 billion. The Chinese currency now has depreciated about 1.7% in June but is anchored near its 100-day moving average.\nTraders have brought forward their expectations of U.S. tapering after seven Fed officials last week projected an interest-rate hike as soon as 2022, up from four. On Tuesday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank would be patient in waiting to lift borrowing costs.\nThe second half of the year may see more risks to market stability, according to Citigroup Inc. economists.

The industry’s growth has been hampered by a supply chain shortage that has manifested in tight supply for some consumer products, such as cars and laptops.\nRaymond James analyst Chris Caso hiked his price target on Nvidia, saying in a note to clients on Tuesday that the company was showing signs of strength across multiple product categories.\n“After completing some checks over the past week, and following our management conversations post earnings, we’re convinced that datacenter has begun to reaccelerate due to hyperscale digestion, a resumption of enterprise activity and rising virtualization,” the note said. “In gaming, we think increased supply and price increases will lead to upside in 2H21.”\nRaymond James raised its price target to $900 per share from $750. That is tied for a street high target with Bank of America and represents 22% upside from where the stock closed on Monday.\nPreviously, Nvidia had seen a drop in demand when cryptocurrency prices declined due to its gaming chips being used in mining. However, the company has since tweaked its products to discourage this, and Raymond James says that shift and the global chip shortage should insulate Nvidia from recent crypto volatility.\n“We think pent-up demand from gamers who have been unable to get their hands on product for 9 months will drive demand, and underlying gaming demand appears to remain solid,” the note said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":92,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":153614984,"gmtCreate":1625021211648,"gmtModify":1703850315070,"author":{"id":"3578385220008893","authorId":"3578385220008893","name":"b14293","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eacdce655041c0b71bd11ebb6ae685c3","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578385220008893","authorIdStr":"3578385220008893"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/153614984","repostId":"1122418477","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1122418477","pubTimestamp":1625008161,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1122418477?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-30 07:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tech stocks propel S&P 500, Nasdaq to fresh highs","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1122418477","media":"CNBC","summary":"The S&P 500 notched another record high on Tuesday amid bullish economic data but retreated toward the flat line later in the session as Wall Street continued its recent period of low volatility.The broad market index ticked up less than 0.1% to 4,291.80, good enough for its fourth-straight record close.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished with a gain of about 9 points after being up more than 100 points earlier in the session, closing at 34,292.29. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite added about 0.2% for its own record of 14,528.33.\nHomebuilder stocks moved higher after S&P Case-Shiller saidhome prices rose more than 14% in Aprilcompared to the prior year. Five U.S. cities, including Seattle, saw their largest annual increase on record. Shares of PulteGroup rose 2%.\nSemiconductor stocks gained strength later in the session, with Skyworks and Advanced Micro Devices climbing 4.5% and 2.8%, respectively. General Electric boosted the industrials sector, rising over 1% afterGoldman Sachs named the stock a top idea.\nThe market has churned out a series of record highs in recent weeks, but the gains have been relatively modest and some strategists have pointed to weak market breadth, measured by the performance of the average stock and the number of individual names making new highs, as a potential area of concern.\nOn Tuesday, there were slightly more declining stocks in the S&P 500 than those that rose during the session.\nHowever, the diminished breadth and volatility could simply be a natural pause during the summer months ahead of the busy earnings season in July, said Bill McMahon, the chief investment officer for active equity strategies at Charles Schwab Investment Management.\n\"I think people are in a little bit of a wait-and-see mode, so it's not surprising to see volatility decline and breadth worsen a tad,\" McMahon said, adding that concern about the spreading Delta variant of Covid-19 could also be weighing on stocks.\nShares of Morgan Stanley jumped more than 3% after the bank said it willdouble its quarterly dividend. The bank also announced a $12 billion stock buyback program. The announcement follows last week's stress tests by the Federal Reserve, which all 23 major banks passed. However, some other bank stocks gave up early gains and weighed on the broader indexes despite increasing their own payout plans.\nThe Conference Board's consumer confidence reading for June came in higher than expected, adding to the bullish readings about the economic recovery.\nWith the market entering the final trading days of June and the second quarter, the S&P 500 is on track to register its fifth straight month of gains. The Nasdaq is pacing for its seventh positive month in the last eight. The Dow, however, is in the red for the month, and on track to snap a four-month winning streak.\nSo far in 2021, the S&P 500 has added 14%, while the Nasdaq has added more than 12% with the Dow close behind.\nJPMorgan quantitative strategist Dubravkos Lakos-Bujas said on CNBC's \"Squawk Box\" that the market appeared to have near-term upside.\n\"The growth policy backdrop in our opinion still remains supportive for risk assets in general, certainly including equities. At the same time, the positioning is not really stretched to where we are in a problematic territory. So we do think there is still a runway. ... The summer period, the next two months, is where I think the market continues to break out,\" the strategist said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":88,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":162569428,"gmtCreate":1624068296364,"gmtModify":1703828063691,"author":{"id":"3578385220008893","authorId":"3578385220008893","name":"b14293","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eacdce655041c0b71bd11ebb6ae685c3","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578385220008893","authorIdStr":"3578385220008893"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"This is good stock.

An increasing need for EVcharging technologyis set to benefit a raft of global stocks, according to the bank, including semiconductor and Big Oil companies, as well as auto suppliers.\nBank of America analysts led by Harry Wyburd flagged a rapid rise in ownership of electric vehicles, with EVs on Europe’s roads up 100% since pre-Covid.\nIn a research note published last week, they wrote: “Our updated charger forecasts see c. [circa] $80bn of potential charging infrastructure investment by 2040E [estimate].”\nThe bank estimates there are currently around nine public charging points per 100 electric vehicles in Europe and expects the number to rise as more of the cars hit the road. BofA also expects “significant” growth in home charging points, with around 60 million electric connectors by 2030.\nBofA’s stock picks include:\nSemiconductors\n“We estimate that power semiconductor demand related to charger deployments in Europe can increase from low tens of millions of US dollars per annum to c$50m per annum by 2025 and c$100m per annum by 2030,” the analysts stated, pickingInfineonandSTMicroas beneficiaries of this.\nOil majors\nBig Oil can create “significant value” from “shifting their equity story to Big Energy,” with more of a focus on decarbonization, according to BofA. Its analysts noted the shift was becoming more urgent for these companies, given shareholder pressure and the Hague District Court’sdemands for Shellto meet climate targets set out in the Paris Agreement.\nThe analysts pickedBP,ShellandTotaland said: “We believe EV charging will grow in importance in linking Big Oil’s existing Marketing footprints (including global brand recognition and backing from their commodity trading desks) with Big Oils’ expansion into electricity supply.”\nAuto suppliers\nValeomakes parts for EVs of all sizes as well as a range of charging components for the likes ofVWand Mercedes. It is buy-rated by BofA, which noted that its joint venture withSiemensnow has around a 40% market share of the high voltage charging sector.\nMetals and mining\nCopper producerAntofagastaand minerBolidenare buy-rated picks for BofA, with copper likely to be a key part of EV chargers as well as inside the vehicle. “New technologies such as renewables, energy storage and electric vehicles that are gaining traction have one thing in common: they require a set of commodities we define as MIFTs, or metals important for future technologies,” BofA’s analysts wrote.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":109,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9023386799,"gmtCreate":1652867489711,"gmtModify":1676535177474,"author":{"id":"3578385220008893","authorId":"3578385220008893","name":"b14293","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eacdce655041c0b71bd11ebb6ae685c3","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578385220008893","authorIdStr":"3578385220008893"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hodl","listText":"Hodl","text":"Hodl","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9023386799","repostId":"1197768730","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1197768730","pubTimestamp":1652862646,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1197768730?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-18 16:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMC Entertainment Is Still Not a Buy Despite Improved Earnings","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1197768730","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"AMC Entertainment (AMC) just reported better-than-expected Q1 earnings.However, the movie theater ch","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>AMC Entertainment (<b><u>AMC</u></b>) just reported better-than-expected Q1 earnings.</li><li>However, the movie theater chain is not out of the woods yet and is struggling to return its business to pre-pandemic levels.</li><li>AMC stock remains under pressure, with at least one analyst forecasting it will fall to just $1 per share.</li></ul><p>Down 27% in the past week, things look to be going from bad to worse for troubled meme stock <b>AMC Entertainment</b>(NYSE:<b><u>AMC</u></b>).

The industry’s growth has been hampered by a supply chain shortage that has manifested in tight supply for some consumer products, such as cars and laptops.\nRaymond James analyst Chris Caso hiked his price target on Nvidia, saying in a note to clients on Tuesday that the company was showing signs of strength across multiple product categories.\n“After completing some checks over the past week, and following our management conversations post earnings, we’re convinced that datacenter has begun to reaccelerate due to hyperscale digestion, a resumption of enterprise activity and rising virtualization,” the note said. “In gaming, we think increased supply and price increases will lead to upside in 2H21.”\nRaymond James raised its price target to $900 per share from $750. That is tied for a street high target with Bank of America and represents 22% upside from where the stock closed on Monday.\nPreviously, Nvidia had seen a drop in demand when cryptocurrency prices declined due to its gaming chips being used in mining. However, the company has since tweaked its products to discourage this, and Raymond James says that shift and the global chip shortage should insulate Nvidia from recent crypto volatility.\n“We think pent-up demand from gamers who have been unable to get their hands on product for 9 months will drive demand, and underlying gaming demand appears to remain solid,” the note said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":92,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9022431091,"gmtCreate":1653565800413,"gmtModify":1676535304685,"author":{"id":"3578385220008893","authorId":"3578385220008893","name":"b14293","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eacdce655041c0b71bd11ebb6ae685c3","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578385220008893","authorIdStr":"3578385220008893"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Time to go long&nbsp;","listText":"Time to go long&nbsp;","text":"Time to go long","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9022431091","repostId":"1144514645","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1144514645","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1653562517,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1144514645?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-26 18:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Southwest Airlines Raises Second-Quarter Revenue Forecast on Travel Demand","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1144514645","media":"Reuters","summary":"May 26 (Reuters) - Southwest Airlines Co on Thursday raised its second-quarter operating revenue for","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>May 26 (Reuters) - Southwest Airlines Co on Thursday raised its second-quarter operating revenue forecast, as strong travel demand puts U.S. carriers on the fast track to a recovery from pandemic lows.</p><p>Shares of the airline were up nearly 3% before the bell.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e1c2e206b4dac68b96a30cc0d9b0b469\" tg-width=\"872\" tg-height=\"623\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>&#34;The company continues to experience strong load factors and an acceleration in bookings for summer travel,&#34;

That's because the Oracle of Omaha's track record is virtually unsurpassed. Since taking the reins of <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) in the mid-1960s, Buffett's company has averaged an annual return of 20%. This works out to an aggregate gain of greater than 2,800,000% for its Class A shares.</p>\n<p>Although Buffett isn't perfect, he and his investing team have a knack for identifying attractively valued businesses that have clear competitive advantages. As we prepare to move into the second half of 2021, the following five Buffett stocks stand out as those that should be bought hand over fist.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1077c8372814d2b8150e933b4c608005\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.</span></p>\n<h2>Amazon</h2>\n<p>Even though Buffett's investing lieutenants, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, are the architects behind Berkshire Hathaway's stake in <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN), it's arguably the Buffett stock that should be bought most aggressively ahead of the second half of the year.</p>\n<p>As most folks probably know, Amazon is an e-commerce juggernaut. Based on an April report from eMarketer, the company effectively controls $0.40 of every $1 spent online in the United States. It's also pivoted its online retail popularity into signing up more than 200 million people to its Prime program worldwide. The fees Amazon collects from Prime help it to undercut its competition on price. And it certainly doesn't hurt that Prime members tend to spend many multiples more than non-Prime shoppers during the course of the year.</p>\n<p>But it's the company's cloud infrastructure service, Amazon Web Services (AWS), that has truly budded into a star. Since the operating margins associated with cloud infrastructure are considerably higher than what Amazon nets from retail and advertising, AWS' growth is leading to a surge in operating cash flow. If investors were to continue to pay the midpoint of Amazon's operating cash flow multiple over the past decade, it could hit $10,000 a share by 2025.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b18b49b2b35da2fc49e0a83b883d1c22\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Bristol Myers Squibb</h2>\n<p>Pharmaceutical stocks are money machines, and none looks to be more attractive on a valuation basis than <b>Bristol Myers Squibb</b> (NYSE:BMY).</p>\n<p>One reason to be excited about this drug developer is its organic growth potential. Eliquis, which was co-developed with <b>Pfizer</b>, has blossomed into the world's leading oral anticoagulant, with sales expected to surpass $10 billion in 2021. Meanwhile, dozens of additional clinical trials are underway for cancer immunotherapy Opdivo, which generated $7 billion in sales last year. This offers plenty of opportunity to expand Opdivo's label and pump up its pricing power.</p>\n<p>Another reason Bristol Myers Squibb is such an intriguing stock is its November 2019 acquisition of cancer and immunology company Celgene. Buying Celgene brought the blockbuster multiple-myeloma drug Revlimid into the fold. Revlimid has sustainably grown its annual sales by a double-digit percentage for more than a decade, with label expansion, longer duration of use, and pricing power all playing a role. This key treatment, which topped $12 billion in sales last year, is protected from a full onslaught of generic competition until early 2026. That means Bristol Myers will be rolling in the dough for another five years, at minimum.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1b152e369d7c967dcbc926192ee888c1\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"531\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Mastercard</h2>\n<p>Everyone seems to be looking for the smartest recovery play from the pandemic. Payment processor <b>Mastercard</b> (NYSE:MA) might well be the safest way to take advantage of a steady uptick in consumer and enterprise spending.</p>\n<p>Mastercard isn't a cheap stock by any means -- at 36 times Wall Street's forward-year earnings consensus -- but it benefits from a simple numbers game. While economic contractions and recessions are inevitable, these periods of turbulence tend to be short-lived. By comparison, economic expansions often last many years. Buying into Mastercard allows investors to take full advantage of these long periods of economic expansion and robust spending. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Mastercard has the second-highest share of credit-card network purchase volume in the U.S., the leading market for consumption.</p>\n<p>Investors can also sleep easy with the understanding that Mastercard strictly sticks to payment facilitation. Even though some of its peers also lend, and are therefore able to generate interest income and fees during bull markets, Mastercard has avoided becoming a lender. It's something you'll truly appreciate when a recession strikes. Whereas most financial stocks will be forced to set aside capital to cover credit or loan delinquencies, Mastercard won't have to. This is a big reason it bounces back from recessions quicker than most financial stocks.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e4e1a1fe028efa4c966b66ef2cd466f5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Teva Pharmaceutical Industries</h2>\n<p>If you have an appetite for turnaround plays, brand-name and generic-drug developer <b>Teva Pharmaceutical Industries</b> (NYSE:TEVA) is the stock to buy hand over fist for the second half of 2021. Like Amazon, it's a stock that was added to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio by either Combs or Weschler and not Buffett.</p>\n<p>While there's no denying that Teva has its fair share of hurdles to overcome, the company's turnaround-focused CEO, Kare Schultz, has been a blessing. Since taking the helm less than four years ago, Schultz has helped shave off more than $10 billion in net debt, and he's overseen the reduction of roughly $3 billion in annual operating expenses. There's more work to do to improve Teva's balance sheet, but the company is very clearly on much firmer ground than it was back in 2016-2017.</p>\n<p>Schultz also has the potential to play peacemaker for a number of outstanding lawsuits targeting Teva's role in the opioid crisis. If this litigation can be resolved with minimal cash outlay, Teva's valuation could soar. At just 4 times the company's projected earnings in 2021, Teva is about as cheap as a healthcare stock can get.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/44a30c4dfd6886a29e22d3c6558c3e56\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Bank of America</h2>\n<p>Lastly, bank stock <b>Bank of America</b> (NYSE:BAC) has the look of a company that can be confidently bought hand over fist for the second half of 2021.</p>\n<p>For much of the past decade, the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates at or near historic lows. That's meant less in the way of interest income for banks. But the latest update from the nation's central bank suggests that interest rates could begin creeping up in 2023, a year earlier than previously forecast. Bank of America is the most interest-sensitive money-center bank. According to its first-quarter investor presentation, BofA would generate $8.3 billion in net interest income on a 100-basis-point shift in the interest rate yield curve.

That's because the Oracle of Omaha's track record is virtually unsurpassed. Since taking the reins of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) in the mid-1960s, Buffett's company has averaged an annual return of 20%. This works out to an aggregate gain of greater than 2,800,000% for its Class A shares.\nAlthough Buffett isn't perfect, he and his investing team have a knack for identifying attractively valued businesses that have clear competitive advantages. As we prepare to move into the second half of 2021, the following five Buffett stocks stand out as those that should be bought hand over fist.\nBerkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.\nAmazon\nEven though Buffett's investing lieutenants, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, are the architects behind Berkshire Hathaway's stake in Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), it's arguably the Buffett stock that should be bought most aggressively ahead of the second half of the year.\nAs most folks probably know, Amazon is an e-commerce juggernaut. Based on an April report from eMarketer, the company effectively controls $0.40 of every $1 spent online in the United States. It's also pivoted its online retail popularity into signing up more than 200 million people to its Prime program worldwide. The fees Amazon collects from Prime help it to undercut its competition on price. And it certainly doesn't hurt that Prime members tend to spend many multiples more than non-Prime shoppers during the course of the year.\nBut it's the company's cloud infrastructure service, Amazon Web Services (AWS), that has truly budded into a star. Since the operating margins associated with cloud infrastructure are considerably higher than what Amazon nets from retail and advertising, AWS' growth is leading to a surge in operating cash flow. If investors were to continue to pay the midpoint of Amazon's operating cash flow multiple over the past decade, it could hit $10,000 a share by 2025.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBristol Myers Squibb\nPharmaceutical stocks are money machines, and none looks to be more attractive on a valuation basis than Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY).\nOne reason to be excited about this drug developer is its organic growth potential. Eliquis, which was co-developed with Pfizer, has blossomed into the world's leading oral anticoagulant, with sales expected to surpass $10 billion in 2021. Meanwhile, dozens of additional clinical trials are underway for cancer immunotherapy Opdivo, which generated $7 billion in sales last year. This offers plenty of opportunity to expand Opdivo's label and pump up its pricing power.\nAnother reason Bristol Myers Squibb is such an intriguing stock is its November 2019 acquisition of cancer and immunology company Celgene. Buying Celgene brought the blockbuster multiple-myeloma drug Revlimid into the fold. Revlimid has sustainably grown its annual sales by a double-digit percentage for more than a decade, with label expansion, longer duration of use, and pricing power all playing a role. This key treatment, which topped $12 billion in sales last year, is protected from a full onslaught of generic competition until early 2026. That means Bristol Myers will be rolling in the dough for another five years, at minimum.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nMastercard\nEveryone seems to be looking for the smartest recovery play from the pandemic. Payment processor Mastercard (NYSE:MA) might well be the safest way to take advantage of a steady uptick in consumer and enterprise spending.\nMastercard isn't a cheap stock by any means -- at 36 times Wall Street's forward-year earnings consensus -- but it benefits from a simple numbers game. While economic contractions and recessions are inevitable, these periods of turbulence tend to be short-lived. By comparison, economic expansions often last many years. Buying into Mastercard allows investors to take full advantage of these long periods of economic expansion and robust spending. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Mastercard has the second-highest share of credit-card network purchase volume in the U.S., the leading market for consumption.\nInvestors can also sleep easy with the understanding that Mastercard strictly sticks to payment facilitation. Even though some of its peers also lend, and are therefore able to generate interest income and fees during bull markets, Mastercard has avoided becoming a lender. It's something you'll truly appreciate when a recession strikes. Whereas most financial stocks will be forced to set aside capital to cover credit or loan delinquencies, Mastercard won't have to. This is a big reason it bounces back from recessions quicker than most financial stocks.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nTeva Pharmaceutical Industries\nIf you have an appetite for turnaround plays, brand-name and generic-drug developer Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE:TEVA) is the stock to buy hand over fist for the second half of 2021. Like Amazon, it's a stock that was added to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio by either Combs or Weschler and not Buffett.\nWhile there's no denying that Teva has its fair share of hurdles to overcome, the company's turnaround-focused CEO, Kare Schultz, has been a blessing. Since taking the helm less than four years ago, Schultz has helped shave off more than $10 billion in net debt, and he's overseen the reduction of roughly $3 billion in annual operating expenses. There's more work to do to improve Teva's balance sheet, but the company is very clearly on much firmer ground than it was back in 2016-2017.\nSchultz also has the potential to play peacemaker for a number of outstanding lawsuits targeting Teva's role in the opioid crisis. If this litigation can be resolved with minimal cash outlay, Teva's valuation could soar. At just 4 times the company's projected earnings in 2021, Teva is about as cheap as a healthcare stock can get.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBank of America\nLastly, bank stock Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) has the look of a company that can be confidently bought hand over fist for the second half of 2021.\nFor much of the past decade, the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates at or near historic lows. That's meant less in the way of interest income for banks. But the latest update from the nation's central bank suggests that interest rates could begin creeping up in 2023, a year earlier than previously forecast. Bank of America is the most interest-sensitive money-center bank. According to its first-quarter investor presentation, BofA would generate $8.3 billion in net interest income on a 100-basis-point shift in the interest rate yield curve. Translation: Bank of America's profits should rocket higher beginning in 2023-2024.\nAt the same time, BofA has done an outstanding job of controlling its costs and improving its operating efficiency. Investments in digitization have resulted in higher mobile app and digital banking use, which is allowing the company to consolidate some of its branches. Even with its shares at a 13-year high, Bank of America has plenty left in the tank.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":143,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":146050227,"gmtCreate":1626045954169,"gmtModify":1703752151684,"author":{"id":"3578385220008893","authorId":"3578385220008893","name":"b14293","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eacdce655041c0b71bd11ebb6ae685c3","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578385220008893","authorIdStr":"3578385220008893"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/146050227","repostId":"1166379040","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1166379040","pubTimestamp":1625968800,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1166379040?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-11 10:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple AirPod batteries are almost impossible to replace, showing the need for right-to-repair reform","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1166379040","media":"CNBC","summary":"KEY POINTS\n\nOwners have noticed that Apple AirPods eventually will last only an hour or so before ne","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTS\n\nOwners have noticed that Apple AirPods eventually will last only an hour or so before needing to be recharged, compared to their four-to-five-hour battery life out of the box.\nBut it’s ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/10/apple-airpod-battery-life-problem-shows-need-for-right-to-repair-laws.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;

Without a cord, the earbud gets its power from a tiny cylindrical battery that has about 1% of the capacity of an iPhone’s battery.\nBut lithium-ion batteries, like those used by the AirPods, wear out the more they are used.\nSome owners have noticed that, after a few years, used AirPods eventually will last only an hour or so before needing to be recharged -- a big decay from the four-to-five-hour battery life they have when new. Because each AirPod is so small and so tightly packed into its housing, it’s almost impossible to swap out the old battery for a new one. Most people give up and just buy a new pair.\nThe limited lifespan of AirPods is exactly the kind of problem that the “right-to-repair” movement wants to fix. Repair shops and lobbyists that support repair reform want lawmakers to implement a variety of rules, including increased access to manuals and official parts and consumer protections around warranties.\nBut one of their most important requests is for companies to design products with repair in mind, instead of packing gadgets with unlabeled parts and sticking them together with glue, forcing users to use a knife to take them apart.\nThis desire puts repair advocates at odds with hardware companies like Apple, whose business models depend on customers upgrading to the latest model every few years. When Apple offered cheap iPhone battery repairs a few years ago, it hurt sales as consumers were able to hang on to their old phones for longer instead of upgrading. Apple also charges customers for repairs and extended warranties.\n“We design our products for durability in order to minimize the need for repair,” Apple wrote in an environmental report earlier this year. “But in the instance a repair is needed, we believe our customers should have convenient access to safe and reliable repair services, to get their product back up and running as quickly as possible.”\nThe right-to-repair movement gains steam\nPolicymakers have started to engage more closely with right-to-repair advocates in recent years. State-level bills have been introduced in a majority of states, but electronics companies have lobbied against them and none have passed.\nIn May, the Federal Trade Commission released a 56-page report on repair restrictions, concluding that repair restrictions have “steered consumers into manufacturers’ repair networks or to replace products before the end of their useful lives” — exactly the problem users are running into with their AirPods.\nThe Biden administration on Friday ordered the FTC to write new regulations targeted at limiting manufacturers’ ability to hamper independent or do-it-yourself repairs as part of a sweeping executive order. New repair rules have not yet been drafted.\n“Tech and other companies impose restrictions on self and third-party repairs, making repairs more costly and time-consuming, such as by restricting the distribution of parts, diagnostics, and repair tools,” the White House wrote in a fact sheet about the order on Friday, linking to a story about fixing Apple products. Apple declined to comment on the White House executive order.\nThe FTC has not said what it plans to do, but repair advocates want a few key policy changes, as detailed in its May report. They want companies to be required to make official replacement parts available. They want access to tools that could make repairs easier without reverse-engineering the tools or parts themselves. And ultimately, they want products to be designed with longer lifespans.\nApple is not the only company that would be affected by these policies. Much of the recent pressure is on medical device companies and tractor manufacturers. But given Apple’s ubiquity, it has become a poster child for repair, especially because it promotes its environmental efforts as a corporate value.\nApple has launched a program it calls the “Independent Repair Program” which gives repair shops the option to enter into a certification process and contract with Apple in order to get access to authentic Apple parts, tools and manuals.\nApple has also reduced the price of its battery replacement for iPhones, and recent models have been designed to make it easier to replace a battery or cracked screen, according to iFixit. Plus, compared to other consumer electronics companies, Apple has a large existing network of stores and authorized repair shops.\nStill, many Apple products remain challenging to repair at home or as a business with no contact with Apple.\nThe only AirPods battery replacement company\niFixit, a company that provides disassembly instructions and sells replacement parts for gadgets, gives AirPods models a score of zero out of 10 for repairability. According to iFixit, repairing these earbuds involves soldering, hot air guns and slicing through glue — that is, if replacement battery parts are even available. In the end, a would-be home repairer would have to put the four-gram computer back together again.\nApple provides “battery service” for AirPods, at the cost of $49 per earbud. But functionally, Apple simply gives you a replacement pair, and the old earbuds are recycled. It’s not a repair, it’s a replacement. And it’s expensive. AirPods originally cost $159, so opting for battery service costs more than half of the price of a new pair.\nApple sold about 72.8 million AirPods units in 2020, according to a CounterPoint research estimate, so tens of millions of consumers will face the same lack of choice in the coming years.\nPodSwap is a Miami company founded by Emma Stritzinger and Emily Alpert which aims to keep AirPods “out of the landfill.” They’re not associated with Apple.\nThey believe they’re the only company performing AirPod battery replacements, although other companies “refurbish” old AirPods, the founders told CNBC. The company was formed after the founders experienced dying AirPods themselves and thought that upgrading or replacing them would be wasteful and impractical.\nI recently replaced a pair of AirPods that were only holding a charge for 45 minutes -- too short to complete a phone call. I paid $59 on PodSwap’s Shopify site and a few days later received a replacement pair of AirPods with new batteries. They weren’t my old AirPods, they were another set that had their batteries replaced.\nAlong with those new pods, PodSwap includes a box and a return label. It wants your old AirPods back. It then cleans and sanitizes the old pair, puts in new batteries and sends them out to the next person who wants to change the battery in their old AirPods.\nBut PodSwap faces many challenges that show why repair advocates want new rules. Alpert said the design of the AirPod makes it challenging for repair shops or companies like theirs to do a lot of battery replacements. PodSwap’s process uses both robotics and manual labor, the founders said.\n“The process was developed through trial and error and a large number of units were ‘sacrificed’ and ultimately recycled. One major challenge we faced was overcoming the uniqueness of this product. Each AirPod is assembled with slight differences, which creates complexity in the disassembly,” Alpert said.\nPodSwap plans to soon offer service for the AirPods Pro, a newer model that costs $249 and are, surprisingly, powered by a standard-sized coin battery.\nBut the AirPods Pro have many of the same problems as the first model — tight tolerances, potential damage while taking them apart, a lack of replacement parts, and a design that suggests the product was always designed to last a limited time.\n“We have found the AirPods Pro’s batteries to be more difficult to replace,” Alpert said. “The ergonomic design and tight unforgiving tolerances make it exceptionally challenging to replace the batteries repeatedly, with a high degree of efficiency.”\nPodSwap wasn’t totally seamless for me — I got sent a combination of “first generation” and “second generation” AirPods.

Capex spend (building + equipment) at 28nm is $100,000 per wafer, which more than triples to $320,000 at 3nm.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1f8f60218f2b914e5847e2eef8aa39c3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"462\"><span>Chart 3</span></p>\n<p><b>Customer Base</b></p>\n<p>Chart 4 shows that Apple (AAPL) was the largest customer of TSMC in 2020, representing 21% of revenues. Keep in mind that in addition to TSMC’s processors going into iPhones, TSMC also fabricates the M1, which powers the new MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini and is Apple's first custom-designed Arm-based chip for Mac.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/354a97772e16c2a05dbccc89556de9eb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"465\"><span>Chart 4</span></p>\n<p>TSMC has upgraded its manufacturing capabilities countless times to keep Apple’s latest chips at the bleeding edge of processor technologies, since its first chip produced for Apple was installed in the Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which were introduced on September 9, 2014.</p>\n<p>Chart 5 shows that the number of transistors increased from 2 billion for the iPhone 6 to 11.8 billion for the current iPhone 12.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/108ef270fe60691ec5bc8c7f0a061d9c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"462\"><span>Chart 5</span></p>\n<p>Thus, investors must consider that:</p>\n<p>Any positive developments from Apple will impact TSMC positively, and positive technological developments from TSMC will impact Apple positively. For example, as long as TSMC is the major manufacturer of Apple chips, growth in Apple or new technologies developed by Apple requiring chips (such as Auto or ADAS), then TSMC will gain.</p>\n<p>Secondly, because of capacity limitations and technology node demands, any expansion in capacity from TSMC will be beneficial to Apple as it moves to smaller nodes while consuming about 25% of TSMC’s chip output on a revenue basis.</p>\n<p>UMC is less transparent and doesn’t provide a breakdown by customer. UMC’s primary customers include premier integrated device manufacturers, such as Texas Instruments(NASDAQ:TXN)and Intel Mobile(NASDAQ:INTC), plus leading fabless design companies, such as MediaTek(OTCPK:MDTKF), Realtek, Qualcomm(NASDAQ:QCOM)and Novatek.</p>\n<p>In August 2018, UMC announced it would pause research for advancing the productional technology of chips under 10nm nodes. As shown in the figure above, since 2018, the corresponding proportion of the company's advanced processes has been reduced to zero, but for mature nodes such as 65nm and 28nm, the proportion has been increased.</p>\n<p><b>Investor Takeaways</b>: Is TSM Or UMC Stock A Better Buy?</p>\n<p>Both companies compete in the same industry, but their business models are a differentiating metric. TSMC generates most of its revenue on nodes smaller than UMC’s (Chart 1), and most of its planned capex will focus new fabs making ICs at increasing smaller nodes.</p>\n<p><b>TSMC Positives</b></p>\n<p>TSMC’s share of the pure-play foundry market was 57% share in 2020, up from 55% in 2019. UMC’s share was constant at slightly less than 8%.</p>\n<p>TSMC benefits from the smaller nodes. Although capex increases with decreasing nodes (Chart 3), so too does gross profit (Chart 2).

It partially explains the rationale behind TSMC’s business model to move to advanced nodes, while also explaining why the company chose to leave its 28nm node undersupplied until recent external forces prompted it to build its China fab.\nGross profits per 300-mm wafer are $2,835 for a 28nm node versus $8,695 for a 3nm node.\nChart 2\nChart 3 shows capex spend by node for ICs. Capex spend (building + equipment) at 28nm is $100,000 per wafer, which more than triples to $320,000 at 3nm.\nChart 3\nCustomer Base\nChart 4 shows that Apple (AAPL) was the largest customer of TSMC in 2020, representing 21% of revenues. Keep in mind that in addition to TSMC’s processors going into iPhones, TSMC also fabricates the M1, which powers the new MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini and is Apple's first custom-designed Arm-based chip for Mac.\nChart 4\nTSMC has upgraded its manufacturing capabilities countless times to keep Apple’s latest chips at the bleeding edge of processor technologies, since its first chip produced for Apple was installed in the Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which were introduced on September 9, 2014.\nChart 5 shows that the number of transistors increased from 2 billion for the iPhone 6 to 11.8 billion for the current iPhone 12.\nChart 5\nThus, investors must consider that:\nAny positive developments from Apple will impact TSMC positively, and positive technological developments from TSMC will impact Apple positively. For example, as long as TSMC is the major manufacturer of Apple chips, growth in Apple or new technologies developed by Apple requiring chips (such as Auto or ADAS), then TSMC will gain.\nSecondly, because of capacity limitations and technology node demands, any expansion in capacity from TSMC will be beneficial to Apple as it moves to smaller nodes while consuming about 25% of TSMC’s chip output on a revenue basis.\nUMC is less transparent and doesn’t provide a breakdown by customer. UMC’s primary customers include premier integrated device manufacturers, such as Texas Instruments(NASDAQ:TXN)and Intel Mobile(NASDAQ:INTC), plus leading fabless design companies, such as MediaTek(OTCPK:MDTKF), Realtek, Qualcomm(NASDAQ:QCOM)and Novatek.\nIn August 2018, UMC announced it would pause research for advancing the productional technology of chips under 10nm nodes. As shown in the figure above, since 2018, the corresponding proportion of the company's advanced processes has been reduced to zero, but for mature nodes such as 65nm and 28nm, the proportion has been increased.\nInvestor Takeaways: Is TSM Or UMC Stock A Better Buy?\nBoth companies compete in the same industry, but their business models are a differentiating metric. TSMC generates most of its revenue on nodes smaller than UMC’s (Chart 1), and most of its planned capex will focus new fabs making ICs at increasing smaller nodes.\nTSMC Positives\nTSMC’s share of the pure-play foundry market was 57% share in 2020, up from 55% in 2019. UMC’s share was constant at slightly less than 8%.\nTSMC benefits from the smaller nodes. Although capex increases with decreasing nodes (Chart 3), so too does gross profit (Chart 2). Thus, TSM has higher revenues than UMC: $48.2B vs $6.283B.\n\nTSMC also has higher annual earnings (EBITDA): $33B vs. UMC $2.349B.\nTSMC ($613B) has a higher market cap than UMC ($23.4B).\nTSMC has more cash on hand: $23.3B vs. UMC ($3.76B).\nTSMC has a higher EPS (3.99) than UMC (0.59).\n\nSeeking Alpha’s quant ratings are derived by measuring a stock's financial metrics against other stocks in the sector on the basis of value, growth, profitability, momentum and analysts’ earnings revisions. In Table 1, both stocks have high rankings. TSMC has a quant rating of 4.63 and UMC has a quant rating of 4.54.\n\nGross margin for TSMC and UMC is shown in Table 2. A positive for TSMC, gross margin is significantly ahead of UMC and the average of all foundries. The Street expects 3Q21 gross margin will improve to 52.9%, given a higher revenue scale, tight foundry supply and improved efficiency of 5nm production.\n\nUMC Positives\nThe comparison of other financial metrics, UMC has stronger financials:\n\nUMC has a lower P/E ratio than TSM: 21.8 vs 28.9\nUMC has less debt than TSM: $2.47B vs $15.4B.\nUMC YTD gains are higher at: 10.558 vs. TSM (8.922).\n\nTable 3 shows stock performance in percent growth for TSM and UMC. In the past year, UMC stock has outperformed TSMC, and did so in the 3-year and 5-year period. But in a 10-year period, TSMC is the better choice.\n\nTSMC is the clear winner over UMC going forward. The company chose its strategy to build chips at the <7nm node. The fact that it is building a 28nm fab in China, the “sweet spot” for UMC, coupled with a new 28nm SMIC (OTCQX:SMICY) fab, will mean lost market share at this node for UMC.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":402,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":154040793,"gmtCreate":1625463036412,"gmtModify":1703742215613,"author":{"id":"3578385220008893","authorId":"3578385220008893","name":"b14293","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eacdce655041c0b71bd11ebb6ae685c3","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578385220008893","authorIdStr":"3578385220008893"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/154040793","repostId":"1166658180","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1166658180","pubTimestamp":1625454170,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1166658180?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-05 11:02","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Berkshire Hathaway: At Least 20% Underpriced, And The Kraft Heinz Position","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1166658180","media":"seeking alpha","summary":"Summary\n\nInvestment commentators seem to derive a misplaced sense of schadenfreude from Buffett's in","content":"<p>Summary</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Investment commentators seem to derive a misplaced sense of schadenfreude from Buffett's investment in Kraft Heinz.</li>\n <li>The Warren Buffett fan club blindly follow the Sage of Omaha and have not been well rewarded in relation to their personal investments in Kraft Heinz.</li>\n <li>The truth is that neither group understands the Kraft Heinz investment made by Buffett.

Kraft Heinz (KHC) is a perfect example of why this kind of behaviour is ill advised.</p>\n<p>Many investment commentators question Buffett's investment in Kraft Heinz. The company certainly hasn't performed as well as other Buffett investments such as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a> (AAPL), <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/KO\">Coca-Cola</a>(NYSE:KO)or <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WFC\">Wells Fargo</a> (WFC). But this does not make it a bad investment.</p>\n<p>These commentators, together with the Warren Buffett fan club who blindly follow their icon, fail to understand why Buffett invested in Kraft Heinz. So I shall attempt to break it down in this short article.</p>\n<p>What Works For Buffett Will Not Work For You</p>\n<p>Most of Berkshire’s (BRK.A) investments in stocks are held by its insurance companies. Buffett has always utilized the float from his insurance businesses to invest wisely and to enhance his returns. Very smart, but I guess that you cannot follow suit because you may not own any insurance companies.</p>\n<p>The remainder of its stock portfolio is held within the finance, rail and utilities, and at the holding company level of the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BRK.B\">Berkshire Hathaway</a> group.</p>\n<p>Dividends of stocks at the insurers are 8.4% (40% of the 21% federal rate).Dividends on stocks held by the other subsidiaries and the holding company are taxed at 6.2% (30% of the 21% federal rate).</p>\n<p>So, let us focus on Kraft Heinz -Berkshire owns approximately 26.7% of that company.</p>\n<p>Buffett's Kraft Heinz shares are held by the parent company and because Berkshire owns more than 20% of the business, but less than 50%, it is deemed to be in 'a position of control' and so must account for its investmentusing the “equity method” of accounting.</p>\n<p>From a tax standpoint, dividends are taxed by the holding company at 4.2%, which is an 80% discount from the 21% corporate tax rate.</p>\n<p>Now consider that Kraft Heinz is a mature business which is stable but beyond the rapid growth phase of yesteryear. It does, however, generate nice levels of cash with its collection of well known consumer brands. So, without any significant opportunity to grow, decisions on allocation of the capital being generated by the business are relatively straight forward - return capital to shareholders by way of dividend!</p>\n<p>It is for this reason that it has a payout ratio of circa 75% and it pays almost a 4% yield. And so it suits Berkshire Hathaway that this cash cow is paying out 75% of its profits as dividends.</p>\n<p>Berkshire benefits greatly by earning profits as dividends because of the low taxes that it pays on dividends - something that does not apply to you or the<i>Warren Buffett fan club</i>who blindly follow the guru.</p>\n<p>For this <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> holding in Berkshire's vast portfolio the dividend from a stable cash cow is what Buffett is looking for. And since Berkshire is in a “position of control,” I expect Buffett is driving the payout ratio as high as possible.</p>\n<p>I expect that <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> day Buffett will exit the Kraft Heinz position. Perhaps Berkshire will take a brand and some cash and avoid a realized taxable cash gain. Buffett is the master of mitigating tax liabilities. However, the kind of tax avoidance mechanism available to Buffett are not available to you and me which is why blindly following buffet is foolish.</p>\n<p>By way of example, just look at how Buffett acquired <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BGC\">General</a> Re-Insurance.</p>\n<p>For those not familiar with what happened, allow me to explain. In 1998 the entire stock market was overpriced and Berkshire was trading at more than 3x book. Buffett believed that Berkshire and its shares were worth approximately half of that price. So, how does Buffett play this situation?</p>\n<p>He used $22 billion worth of his overpriced stock as currency to acquire General Re. Buffett effectively acquired the investment portfolio of General Re, which he valued at $25 billion. And because he thought his stock was being priced by the market at twice its intrinsic value, he effectively paid the equivalent of $11 billion of value for $25 billion of assets! Genius!</p>\n<p>The Gen Re portfolio was 90% fixed income products which allowed Buffett to switch from a heavy concentration of over-priced equity investments into much better valued bonds. Best of all, because he used Berkshire shares as currency for the deal rather than cash he managed to reduce his portfolio exposure to an overpriced equity market by approximately half without paying a cent of capital gains tax, then at 35%. Even more of a genius!</p>\n<p>I cover this kind of thing in my book \"Success in the Stock Market\" if any of you is interested in learning more.</p>\n<p>So, returning to the topic of this article, what works for Buffett will not work for you.</p>\n<p>Accounting for positions using the equity method requires that Berkshire’s pro-rata portion of Kraft Heinz’s reported income be included in Berkshire’s income and serves to increase Berkshire’s cost basis by the amount of the pro-rata profit. Dividends received are an offset, effectively a return of capital, and reduce Berkshire’s cost basis by the amount of the dividend. The combination increases the cost basis by the amount of undistributed earnings. Cash taxes are paid by Berkshire only on the amount received as dividends. The undistributed earnings (retained by Kraft Heinz) are included in a deferred tax liability and are payable when Berkshire receives a cash distribution or when it sells the position. The deferred tax liability is created using Berkshire’s corporate tax rate of 21%. Berkshire applies a Dividend Received Deduction “DRD” on the dividends it receives as it expects undistributed earnings to ultimately be distributed. It’s this assumption by Berkshire that allows it to offset its 21% tax rate with an 80% deduction. Thus dividends from Kraft Heinz are now taxed at 4.2% and the deferred tax liability building for retained earnings by Kraft Heinz is established using a 21% tax rate.</p>\n<p>Now consider the situation for you and me if Kraft Heinz was in our own private portfolio. With little or no capital growth prospects all we have is the dividend income. That is paid out of Kraft Heinz's net earnings (so after it has paid corporate tax) and when we receive the dividend we are subject to income tax (double taxation!)</p>\n<p>While Buffett enjoys greater tax efficiency, we suffer great tax inefficiency. This is why following everything the Sage of Omaha does is foolish. This, in my humble opinion, includes investing personally in Kraft Heinz.</p>\n<p>Kraft Heinz is a mediocre business with little prospect for growth and some of its brands are in fact in decline.I wouldn't buy it. I wouldn't recommend you to buy it either. But for Buffett it does make a great deal of sense (commentators/journalists in the investing community take note!).</p>\n<p>If you want to derive the financial benefits that Buffett is able to extract from his investment in Kraft Heinz and other holdings in his portfolio then my advice to you is to invest in Berkshire Hathaway rather than investing in the companies that Berkshire Hathaway invests in.</p>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway - Underpriced By At Least 20%</p>\n<p>I believe Berkshire Hathaway to be vastly underpriced today as I shall go on to explain.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd35aaa75c637e9b1f67c110081a4d0e\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Data byYCharts</p>\n<p>Valuing Berkshire Hathaway is a complex affair due to the fact that it requires analysis on a sum of parts basis. I could write a small book on a single valuation and so it is well outside the scope of this article.</p>\n<p>However, there are some quick and dirty valuation techniques that one may deploy to provide a good indication of value. They invariably require a little Sherlock Holmes sleuth work of reading between the lines to find valuable valuation clues. Allow me to explain one of them.</p>\n<p>Buffett is still buying back Berkshire Stock at an unprecedented rate. This is a first major clue.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Buffett bought back about $9bn of stock in H2 2020 and buybacks continue at pace.</li>\n <li>There were approximately $6.6 billion worth of buybacks during Q1 2021.</li>\n <li>Buybacks in the second quarter of 2021 may be calculated as follows. The April 22ndForm 10-Q filing reveals the amount spent on buybacks between March 31st(end of Q1) and April 22nd.So this is known to be $1.4 billion. On June 21stBerkshire’s13D filing(associated with its regular contribution of Berkshire shares to the Gates Foundation - $4.1bn USD on this occasion) allows us to calculate buybacks that occurred between April 22ndand June 21st. We do this by taking the statement of Buffett’s economic interest of 15.8% to calculate the number of shares outstanding at June 21st. This indicates that Berkshire had 2.265 billion class B share equivalent outstanding on June 21 (with class A stock converted to class B). This is down about 23 million since March 31 and 18 million lower that the April 22 figure. The implication being that over $5bn of stock was repurchased in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/QTWO\">Q2</a> 2021. But June 21stis not the end of Q2, so if we extrapolate the data to the end of the quarter we arrive at approximately $7bn of repurchases in Q2.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>So in the last 12 months Buffett has spent a not insignificant $22.6bn buying back Berkshire stock.</p>\n<p>What does this tell us?</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FBNC\">First</a>, let’s take a step back and consider what we know about Buffett's threshold for buying back stock.</p>\n<p>Share buy-backs are among the most misunderstood and also the most abused aspects of modern capitalism. This is a huge topic and I devote an entire chapter of my book to it for anyone interested. However, for the purpose of this article know this. When executed above true book value (most of the time) buybacks will erode shareholder equity.</p>\n<p>This is not particularly well understood by shareholders or C-Suite executives. Accordingly I shall use this opportunity to explain how this works in practice with a simple analogy.</p>\n<p>Imagine owning a $1m house equally with your partner. Personally you also have $750,000 cash in the bank, so the total value of your personal assets is half of the house ($500,000) plus $750,000 cash. A total of $1.25m.</p>\n<p>You offer to buy your partner’s share in the house which has a book value of $500,000 (half of $1m).</p>\n<p>You ought to be happy paying anything up to $500,000 (a multiple to book that is less than or equal to 1) but you should not be prepared to pay more than that number. Buying at a premium (where the PB multiple is greater than 1) erodes the total value of your assets by the amount of the premium paid. If you don’t believe me, allow me to demonstrate the fact.</p>\n<p>If you pay $600,000 for your partner's share of the house (a multiple of 1.2x book) what do your assets look like after the deal? You now have a $1m house and a balance of $150,000 cash in the bank. Now your total asset value has shrunk from $1.25m to $1.15m. You have eroded your personal wealth by $100,000 which is the amount by which you overpaid for the share of the house.</p>\n<p>The same is true when repurchasing company stock above book – it destroys shareholder value in exactly the same way.</p>\n<p>The opposite is also true - so repurchasing below book is accretive to shareholder value.</p>\n<p>While a repurchase operation will always be presented as a means of returning value to the shareholders, the ugly truth is that buy-backs more often than not destroy shareholder value.</p>\n<p>Buffett understands this very well. Judging by the number of companies that repurchase their own stock at huge premiums to book I can confidently say that Buffett is one of the few CEOs who does understand it.</p>\n<p>The quick witted readers will now be asking, “Why then has Buffett been paying 1.1x book and then 1.2x book for stock repurchases?”</p>\n<p>Great question!</p>\n<p>The answer is simple and it brings us back to our Sherlock Holmes conclusions on the valuation of Berkshire Hathaway.</p>\n<p>Many of the assets bought by Buffett over the years are recorded on the Berkshire Hathaway balance sheet at cost rather than at their true market value. Said differently, the value of Berkshire's assets is vastly understated in its annual and quarterly reports. This means that when Buffett says that he will repurchase at 1.2x book, what he is actually saying is that the book value understates the true value of the business and that every 83 cents on the balance sheet is really worth $1 in the real world. This means that 1.2x of reported book value is equivalent to no more than 1.0x real book value.</p>\n<p>Now I hope that you can see where I am going with my detective work.</p>\n<p>Buffett is way too sharp to destroy shareholder equity by overpaying for Berkshire Stock, not least because he is Berkshire's largest shareholder! Buffett will only be interested in allocating capital in such a way that is accretive to shareholder value, namely at a multiple of book less than 1.0x.</p>\n<p>Now consider that no-one, other than perhaps Charlie Munger, knows the true value of Berkshire Hathaway better than Buffett. So, reading between the lines, Buffett is telling us that the true value of the business is at least 20% higher than the share price implies, we ought to capitalize on that information!</p>\n<p>It is also worthy of note that as the number of shares decreases due to buybacks, the price per share representing a true 1.0x book value also increases. Appreciation in the underlying value of balance sheet assets also pushes the threshold price higher. This explains why Buffett is constantly re-assessing the price at which he is prepared to buy back his own stock.</p>\n<p>I hope that this was helpful.</p>\n<p>I devote an entire chapter of my book \"Success in the Stock Market\" to the topic of buybacks and so I have only scratched the surface in this comment. If you are interested in learning more please take a look at the book.</p>\n<p>By the way, I am long Berkshire Hathaway. I believe it to be vastly undervalued currently and my more detailed analysis suggests that it is trading at between 69c and 77c on the $1. For this reason I think that Buffett will continue to repurchase for quite some time to come.</p>\n<p>I wish you every success in your investing endeavours.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Berkshire Hathaway: At Least 20% Underpriced, And The Kraft Heinz Position</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\">\nBerkshire Hathaway: At Least 20% Underpriced, And The Kraft Heinz Position\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-05 11:02 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437727-berkshire-hathaway-at-least-20-percent-underpriced-and-the-kraft-heinz-position><strong>seeking alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nInvestment commentators seem to derive a misplaced sense of schadenfreude from Buffett's investment in Kraft Heinz.\nThe Warren Buffett fan club blindly follow the Sage of Omaha and have not ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437727-berkshire-hathaway-at-least-20-percent-underpriced-and-the-kraft-heinz-position\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BRK.B":"伯克希尔B","BRK.A":"伯克希尔","KHC":"卡夫亨氏"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4437727-berkshire-hathaway-at-least-20-percent-underpriced-and-the-kraft-heinz-position","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1166658180","content_text":"Summary\n\nInvestment commentators seem to derive a misplaced sense of schadenfreude from Buffett's investment in Kraft Heinz.\nThe Warren Buffett fan club blindly follow the Sage of Omaha and have not been well rewarded in relation to their personal investments in Kraft Heinz.\nThe truth is that neither group understands the Kraft Heinz investment made by Buffett.

But this does not make it a bad investment.\nThese commentators, together with the Warren Buffett fan club who blindly follow their icon, fail to understand why Buffett invested in Kraft Heinz. So I shall attempt to break it down in this short article.\nWhat Works For Buffett Will Not Work For You\nMost of Berkshire’s (BRK.A) investments in stocks are held by its insurance companies. Buffett has always utilized the float from his insurance businesses to invest wisely and to enhance his returns. Very smart, but I guess that you cannot follow suit because you may not own any insurance companies.\nThe remainder of its stock portfolio is held within the finance, rail and utilities, and at the holding company level of the Berkshire Hathaway group.\nDividends of stocks at the insurers are 8.4% (40% of the 21% federal rate).Dividends on stocks held by the other subsidiaries and the holding company are taxed at 6.2% (30% of the 21% federal rate).\nSo, let us focus on Kraft Heinz -Berkshire owns approximately 26.7% of that company.\nBuffett's Kraft Heinz shares are held by the parent company and because Berkshire owns more than 20% of the business, but less than 50%, it is deemed to be in 'a position of control' and so must account for its investmentusing the “equity method” of accounting.\nFrom a tax standpoint, dividends are taxed by the holding company at 4.2%, which is an 80% discount from the 21% corporate tax rate.\nNow consider that Kraft Heinz is a mature business which is stable but beyond the rapid growth phase of yesteryear. It does, however, generate nice levels of cash with its collection of well known consumer brands. So, without any significant opportunity to grow, decisions on allocation of the capital being generated by the business are relatively straight forward - return capital to shareholders by way of dividend!\nIt is for this reason that it has a payout ratio of circa 75% and it pays almost a 4% yield. And so it suits Berkshire Hathaway that this cash cow is paying out 75% of its profits as dividends.\nBerkshire benefits greatly by earning profits as dividends because of the low taxes that it pays on dividends - something that does not apply to you or theWarren Buffett fan clubwho blindly follow the guru.\nFor this one holding in Berkshire's vast portfolio the dividend from a stable cash cow is what Buffett is looking for. And since Berkshire is in a “position of control,” I expect Buffett is driving the payout ratio as high as possible.\nI expect that one day Buffett will exit the Kraft Heinz position. Perhaps Berkshire will take a brand and some cash and avoid a realized taxable cash gain. Buffett is the master of mitigating tax liabilities. However, the kind of tax avoidance mechanism available to Buffett are not available to you and me which is why blindly following buffet is foolish.\nBy way of example, just look at how Buffett acquired General Re-Insurance.\nFor those not familiar with what happened, allow me to explain. In 1998 the entire stock market was overpriced and Berkshire was trading at more than 3x book. Buffett believed that Berkshire and its shares were worth approximately half of that price. So, how does Buffett play this situation?\nHe used $22 billion worth of his overpriced stock as currency to acquire General Re. Buffett effectively acquired the investment portfolio of General Re, which he valued at $25 billion. And because he thought his stock was being priced by the market at twice its intrinsic value, he effectively paid the equivalent of $11 billion of value for $25 billion of assets! Genius!\nThe Gen Re portfolio was 90% fixed income products which allowed Buffett to switch from a heavy concentration of over-priced equity investments into much better valued bonds. Best of all, because he used Berkshire shares as currency for the deal rather than cash he managed to reduce his portfolio exposure to an overpriced equity market by approximately half without paying a cent of capital gains tax, then at 35%. Even more of a genius!\nI cover this kind of thing in my book \"Success in the Stock Market\" if any of you is interested in learning more.\nSo, returning to the topic of this article, what works for Buffett will not work for you.\nAccounting for positions using the equity method requires that Berkshire’s pro-rata portion of Kraft Heinz’s reported income be included in Berkshire’s income and serves to increase Berkshire’s cost basis by the amount of the pro-rata profit. Dividends received are an offset, effectively a return of capital, and reduce Berkshire’s cost basis by the amount of the dividend. The combination increases the cost basis by the amount of undistributed earnings. Cash taxes are paid by Berkshire only on the amount received as dividends. The undistributed earnings (retained by Kraft Heinz) are included in a deferred tax liability and are payable when Berkshire receives a cash distribution or when it sells the position. The deferred tax liability is created using Berkshire’s corporate tax rate of 21%. Berkshire applies a Dividend Received Deduction “DRD” on the dividends it receives as it expects undistributed earnings to ultimately be distributed. It’s this assumption by Berkshire that allows it to offset its 21% tax rate with an 80% deduction. Thus dividends from Kraft Heinz are now taxed at 4.2% and the deferred tax liability building for retained earnings by Kraft Heinz is established using a 21% tax rate.\nNow consider the situation for you and me if Kraft Heinz was in our own private portfolio. With little or no capital growth prospects all we have is the dividend income. That is paid out of Kraft Heinz's net earnings (so after it has paid corporate tax) and when we receive the dividend we are subject to income tax (double taxation!)\nWhile Buffett enjoys greater tax efficiency, we suffer great tax inefficiency. This is why following everything the Sage of Omaha does is foolish. This, in my humble opinion, includes investing personally in Kraft Heinz.\nKraft Heinz is a mediocre business with little prospect for growth and some of its brands are in fact in decline.I wouldn't buy it. I wouldn't recommend you to buy it either. But for Buffett it does make a great deal of sense (commentators/journalists in the investing community take note!).\nIf you want to derive the financial benefits that Buffett is able to extract from his investment in Kraft Heinz and other holdings in his portfolio then my advice to you is to invest in Berkshire Hathaway rather than investing in the companies that Berkshire Hathaway invests in.\nBerkshire Hathaway - Underpriced By At Least 20%\nI believe Berkshire Hathaway to be vastly underpriced today as I shall go on to explain.\nData byYCharts\nValuing Berkshire Hathaway is a complex affair due to the fact that it requires analysis on a sum of parts basis. I could write a small book on a single valuation and so it is well outside the scope of this article.\nHowever, there are some quick and dirty valuation techniques that one may deploy to provide a good indication of value. They invariably require a little Sherlock Holmes sleuth work of reading between the lines to find valuable valuation clues. Allow me to explain one of them.\nBuffett is still buying back Berkshire Stock at an unprecedented rate. This is a first major clue.\n\nBuffett bought back about $9bn of stock in H2 2020 and buybacks continue at pace.\nThere were approximately $6.6 billion worth of buybacks during Q1 2021.\nBuybacks in the second quarter of 2021 may be calculated as follows. The April 22ndForm 10-Q filing reveals the amount spent on buybacks between March 31st(end of Q1) and April 22nd.So this is known to be $1.4 billion. On June 21stBerkshire’s13D filing(associated with its regular contribution of Berkshire shares to the Gates Foundation - $4.1bn USD on this occasion) allows us to calculate buybacks that occurred between April 22ndand June 21st. We do this by taking the statement of Buffett’s economic interest of 15.8% to calculate the number of shares outstanding at June 21st. This indicates that Berkshire had 2.265 billion class B share equivalent outstanding on June 21 (with class A stock converted to class B). This is down about 23 million since March 31 and 18 million lower that the April 22 figure. The implication being that over $5bn of stock was repurchased in Q2 2021. But June 21stis not the end of Q2, so if we extrapolate the data to the end of the quarter we arrive at approximately $7bn of repurchases in Q2.\n\nSo in the last 12 months Buffett has spent a not insignificant $22.6bn buying back Berkshire stock.\nWhat does this tell us?\nFirst, let’s take a step back and consider what we know about Buffett's threshold for buying back stock.\nShare buy-backs are among the most misunderstood and also the most abused aspects of modern capitalism. This is a huge topic and I devote an entire chapter of my book to it for anyone interested. However, for the purpose of this article know this. When executed above true book value (most of the time) buybacks will erode shareholder equity.\nThis is not particularly well understood by shareholders or C-Suite executives. Accordingly I shall use this opportunity to explain how this works in practice with a simple analogy.\nImagine owning a $1m house equally with your partner. Personally you also have $750,000 cash in the bank, so the total value of your personal assets is half of the house ($500,000) plus $750,000 cash. A total of $1.25m.\nYou offer to buy your partner’s share in the house which has a book value of $500,000 (half of $1m).\nYou ought to be happy paying anything up to $500,000 (a multiple to book that is less than or equal to 1) but you should not be prepared to pay more than that number. Buying at a premium (where the PB multiple is greater than 1) erodes the total value of your assets by the amount of the premium paid. If you don’t believe me, allow me to demonstrate the fact.\nIf you pay $600,000 for your partner's share of the house (a multiple of 1.2x book) what do your assets look like after the deal? You now have a $1m house and a balance of $150,000 cash in the bank. Now your total asset value has shrunk from $1.25m to $1.15m. You have eroded your personal wealth by $100,000 which is the amount by which you overpaid for the share of the house.\nThe same is true when repurchasing company stock above book – it destroys shareholder value in exactly the same way.\nThe opposite is also true - so repurchasing below book is accretive to shareholder value.\nWhile a repurchase operation will always be presented as a means of returning value to the shareholders, the ugly truth is that buy-backs more often than not destroy shareholder value.\nBuffett understands this very well. Judging by the number of companies that repurchase their own stock at huge premiums to book I can confidently say that Buffett is one of the few CEOs who does understand it.\nThe quick witted readers will now be asking, “Why then has Buffett been paying 1.1x book and then 1.2x book for stock repurchases?”\nGreat question!\nThe answer is simple and it brings us back to our Sherlock Holmes conclusions on the valuation of Berkshire Hathaway.\nMany of the assets bought by Buffett over the years are recorded on the Berkshire Hathaway balance sheet at cost rather than at their true market value. Said differently, the value of Berkshire's assets is vastly understated in its annual and quarterly reports. This means that when Buffett says that he will repurchase at 1.2x book, what he is actually saying is that the book value understates the true value of the business and that every 83 cents on the balance sheet is really worth $1 in the real world. This means that 1.2x of reported book value is equivalent to no more than 1.0x real book value.\nNow I hope that you can see where I am going with my detective work.\nBuffett is way too sharp to destroy shareholder equity by overpaying for Berkshire Stock, not least because he is Berkshire's largest shareholder! Buffett will only be interested in allocating capital in such a way that is accretive to shareholder value, namely at a multiple of book less than 1.0x.\nNow consider that no-one, other than perhaps Charlie Munger, knows the true value of Berkshire Hathaway better than Buffett. So, reading between the lines, Buffett is telling us that the true value of the business is at least 20% higher than the share price implies, we ought to capitalize on that information!\nIt is also worthy of note that as the number of shares decreases due to buybacks, the price per share representing a true 1.0x book value also increases. Appreciation in the underlying value of balance sheet assets also pushes the threshold price higher. This explains why Buffett is constantly re-assessing the price at which he is prepared to buy back his own stock.\nI hope that this was helpful.\nI devote an entire chapter of my book \"Success in the Stock Market\" to the topic of buybacks and so I have only scratched the surface in this comment. If you are interested in learning more please take a look at the book.\nBy the way, I am long Berkshire Hathaway. I believe it to be vastly undervalued currently and my more detailed analysis suggests that it is trading at between 69c and 77c on the $1. For this reason I think that Buffett will continue to repurchase for quite some time to come.\nI wish you every success in your investing endeavours.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":496,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":144540884,"gmtCreate":1626307592148,"gmtModify":1703757456446,"author":{"id":"3578385220008893","authorId":"3578385220008893","name":"b14293","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eacdce655041c0b71bd11ebb6ae685c3","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578385220008893","authorIdStr":"3578385220008893"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wait","listText":"Wait","text":"Wait","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/144540884","repostId":"1151473660","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":314,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":143239359,"gmtCreate":1625795227371,"gmtModify":1703748679629,"author":{"id":"3578385220008893","authorId":"3578385220008893","name":"b14293","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eacdce655041c0b71bd11ebb6ae685c3","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578385220008893","authorIdStr":"3578385220008893"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I like","listText":"I like","text":"I like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/143239359","repostId":"1164584412","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1164584412","pubTimestamp":1625792481,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1164584412?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-09 09:01","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Melvin Can’t Shake Reddit Attack With 46% Loss in First Half","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1164584412","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Hedge fund is said to have gained about 1% last month\nFounder Plotkin has said he would adjust his s","content":"<ul>\n <li>Hedge fund is said to have gained about 1% last month</li>\n <li>Founder Plotkin has said he would adjust his shorting strategy</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Gabe Plotkin’s Melvin Capital Management ended the first half of 2021 down 46% as the hedge fund struggled to bounce back from a vicious attack by Reddit traders on its short positions.</p>\n<p>The firm, which plunged 53% in January as its bearish bets on companies includingGameStop Corp.andAMC Entertainment Holdings Inc.were besieged by a retail-driven buying spree, was up about 1% in June, according to people familiar with the matter.

Thefour quartersend in March, or Q1; June, or Q2; September, or Q3; and December, or Q4. These are considered important times for investors. Many businesses, analysts, government agencies, and theFederal Reserverelease critical new data about various markets or economic indicators at the end of a quarter.\nThere's a widely held belief in financial circles that hedge funds, pension funds, and insurance companies always rebalance their portfolios at the end of each quarter. While no proof or evidence has ever been put forward to confirm this practice or its prevalence, the very idea reinforces the concept that the end of a quarter is significant.\nEven if major financial players do not always rebalance at the end of quarters, many investors use this time to re-evaluate their ownportfolio management, changing which assets comprise the portfolio or setting new portfolio targets. Not only is it a good idea for investors to monitor their investments from time-to-time but rarely is so much new, actionable information released as during the end of a quarter.\nRebalancing a Portfolio\nRebalancinginvolves the periodic sale and purchase of assets within a portfolio to maintain a target ratio.2Consider an investor who wants his portfolio to be comprised of 50% growth stocks, 25% income stocks, and 25% bonds. If during Q1, the growth stocks outperform the other investments substantially, the investor may decide to sell some growth stocks or purchase more income stocks and bonds to bring the portfolio back to a 50-25-25 split.\nKEY TAKEAWAYS\n\nThe end of the three-month period known as a financial quarter is considered an important time for investors.\nCompanies, financial analysts, and government agencies (including the Fed) all release reports and critical data at the end of a quarter.\nBoth retail and institutional investors often use the end of a quarter to re-evaluate and rebalance their portfolios.\n\nTraditional rebalancing involves trading the gains of well-performing assets, by selling high, for more low-performing assets, by buying low, at the end of each quarter. Theoretically, this serves to protect a portfolio from being too exposed or straying too far from its original strategy. However, pegging rebalances to the end of quarters relies on arbitrary calendar events which may not coincide with market movements. Nevertheless, the confluence of new reports that emerge at the end of quarters usually causes market reactions and should be of concern to most participants.\nInstitutional Investors and Rebalancing\nIt is not just individual investors who consider making portfolio moves at the end of quarters. Portfolio management is also important for institutional investors, like mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, or ETFs.3\nThere are two forms of fund portfolio management: active and passive.4Passive funds generally peg their portfolios to market indexes and involve fewer changes in exchange for lower management fees. The end of a quarter is less significant for these types of funds, though if theirbenchmark indexeschange at this time, they will as well.\nActive funds have a manager or team of managers who take a more proactive approach to beat market average returns. These funds can be quite active during the end of quarters, especially if their portfolios need to be adjusted to meet their previously stated goals and strategies.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":220,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":158752024,"gmtCreate":1625183675068,"gmtModify":1703737750309,"author":{"id":"3578385220008893","authorId":"3578385220008893","name":"b14293","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eacdce655041c0b71bd11ebb6ae685c3","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578385220008893","authorIdStr":"3578385220008893"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ouch","listText":"Ouch","text":"Ouch","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/158752024","repostId":"2148824712","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2148824712","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1625182772,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2148824712?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-02 07:39","market":"fut","language":"en","title":"Bitcoin drops over 5% to $33,226.36","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2148824712","media":"Reuters","summary":"July 1 (Reuters) - Bitcoin dropped 5.17% to $33,226.36 on Thursday, losing $1,810.87 from its previo","content":"<p>July 1 (Reuters) - Bitcoin dropped 5.17% to $33,226.36 on Thursday, losing $1,810.87 from its previous close.</p>\n<p>The world's biggest and best-known cryptocurrency is down 48.8% from the year's high of $64,895.22 hit on April 14.</p>\n<p>Ether , the coin linked to the ethereum blockchain network, dropped 7.28% to $2,110.53 on Thursday, losing $165.81 from its previous close.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
