Total revenue was $894.8 million, up 62.4% year-over-year (YoY). On a non-GAAP basis, first quarter net income was $198.4 million, or $2.49 per diluted share. This represented a 242% increase from $57.9 million, or 73 cents per diluted share, recorded in the prior year quarter.Cash and equivalents stood at $1.1 billion.</p>\n<p>CEO Joe Hogan said:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “It’s remarkable to think about the pace of growth and adoption that we are experiencing worldwide, especially when considering it took 10 years to achieve our one millionth Invisalign patient milestone. Now we are adding one million new Invisalign patients in less than six months.”\n</blockquote>\n<p>The pandemic has meant many individuals had to postpone non-essential dental procedures. As our economy opens up further, more people are likely to start elective dental procedures, such as tooth straightening treatments. Meanwhile, the number of orthodontists and general practitioner dentists using theInvisalign system stateside is on the rise. Therefore, the company is likely to keep growing for many quarters to come. Its market capitalization (cap) stands at $43 billion.</p>\n<p>Year-to-date (YTD), the shares are up 3% and hit a record high in late April.

Going forward, CFO John Lawler highlighted that semiconductor shortage, exacerbated by a recent fire at a supplier plant in Japan, would likely get worse before bottoming out in Q2. The auto industry, as well as many other sectors, are under pressure due to the chip shortage worldwide.</p>\n<p>YTD, Ford shares are up over 32%. Forward P/E and P/S ratios stand at 11.76 and 0.37, respectively. Since the earnings report, F stock has come under pressure. Any further decline toward $10 would improve the risk/return profile.</p>\n<p>In addition to its legacy business, the new decade will likely see Ford gain gain market share in the growing EV industry.

As of March 31, the company had $4.58 billion in cash and equivalents.</p>\n<p>CEO Richard C.

Revenue per available room declined about 38% from a year earlier. Net loss was $109 million.</p>\n<p>CEO Christopher J. Nassetta remarked, “While rising COVID-19 cases and tightened travel restrictions, particularly across Europe and our Asia Pacific region, weighed on demand in January and February, we saw meaningful improvement in March and April. We expect this positive momentum to continue as vaccines are more widely distributed and our customers feel safe traveling again.”</p>\n<p>So far in 2021, HLT stock is up 9%. Forward P/E and P/S ratios are47.85and10.54respectively. Many investors see the shares as a bet on the post-pandemic recovery.

The current price supports a dividend yield of 0.99%. As life gets back to normal in the coming months, the company should see higher procedure volumes, translating into stronger revenue.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, our country is aging. Thus, its products are likely to be used by more individuals. However, the shares are richly valued.

Total revenue was $894.8 million, up 62.4% year-over-year (YoY). On a non-GAAP basis, first quarter net income was $198.4 million, or $2.49 per diluted share. This represented a 242% increase from $57.9 million, or 73 cents per diluted share, recorded in the prior year quarter.Cash and equivalents stood at $1.1 billion.\nCEO Joe Hogan said:\n\n “It’s remarkable to think about the pace of growth and adoption that we are experiencing worldwide, especially when considering it took 10 years to achieve our one millionth Invisalign patient milestone. Now we are adding one million new Invisalign patients in less than six months.”\n\nThe pandemic has meant many individuals had to postpone non-essential dental procedures. As our economy opens up further, more people are likely to start elective dental procedures, such as tooth straightening treatments. Meanwhile, the number of orthodontists and general practitioner dentists using theInvisalign system stateside is on the rise. Therefore, the company is likely to keep growing for many quarters to come. Its market capitalization (cap) stands at $43 billion.\nYear-to-date (YTD), the shares are up 3% and hit a record high in late April. ALGN stock’s forward price-to-earnings (P/E) and price-to-sales (P/S) ratios are 65.36 and 16.88.\nShort-term profit-taking could put pressure on the shares. A potential decline toward $520 would improve the margin of safety.\nFord Motor(F)Source: Vitaliy Karimov / Shutterstock.com\n52-week range: $4.52 – $13.62\nLegacy automaker Ford Motorreported first quarter resultsin late April. Revenue increased 6% to $36.2 billion. GAAP net income was $3.3 billion, compared to net loss of $2 billion in the prior year quarter.Adjusted earnings per share came at 89 cents.\nCEO Jim Farley regards the Mustang Mach-E GT as Ford’s first serious push into theelectric vehicle(EV) space. Going forward, CFO John Lawler highlighted that semiconductor shortage, exacerbated by a recent fire at a supplier plant in Japan, would likely get worse before bottoming out in Q2. The auto industry, as well as many other sectors, are under pressure due to the chip shortage worldwide.\nYTD, Ford shares are up over 32%. Forward P/E and P/S ratios stand at 11.76 and 0.37, respectively. Since the earnings report, F stock has come under pressure. Any further decline toward $10 would improve the risk/return profile.\nIn addition to its legacy business, the new decade will likely see Ford gain gain market share in the growing EV industry. Buy-and-hold investor should put the shares on their radar.\nFreeport-McMoRan(FCX)Source: MICHAEL A JACKSON FILMS / Shutterstock.com\n52-week range:$7.80 – $44.50\nNext in line is one of the largest copper miners worldwide, the Phoenix,Arizona-based Freeport-McMoRan.

Needless to say, for over a year, hotel room bookings have taken a beating.\nHampton and Hilton are currently the group’s two largest brands by total room count at 28% and 21%, respectively. For hotels, revenue per available room is the key measure of top-line performance.\nHiltonreported first quarter resultson May 5.Total revenue fell more than 54% to $874 million. Revenue per available room declined about 38% from a year earlier. Net loss was $109 million.\nCEO Christopher J. Nassetta remarked, “While rising COVID-19 cases and tightened travel restrictions, particularly across Europe and our Asia Pacific region, weighed on demand in January and February, we saw meaningful improvement in March and April. We expect this positive momentum to continue as vaccines are more widely distributed and our customers feel safe traveling again.”\nSo far in 2021, HLT stock is up 9%. Forward P/E and P/S ratios are47.85and10.54respectively. Many investors see the shares as a bet on the post-pandemic recovery.

Its product portfolio includes hip and knee replacements, endoscopy systems, operating room equipment, embolic coils and spinal devices.

Adjusted diluted EPS was $1.93, a 4.9% YoY increase. Quarter-end cash and equivalents stood at $2.2 billion.\nManagement cited, “As we recover from the pandemic, we continue to expect 2021 organic net sales growth to be in the range of 8% to 10% from 2019, as this is a more normal baseline given the variability throughout 2020, and now expect adjusted net earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $9.05 to $9.30.”\nYTD, Stryker stock has returned about 4% and hit a record high in late April. The current price supports a dividend yield of 0.99%. As life gets back to normal in the coming months, the company should see higher procedure volumes, translating into stronger revenue.\nFurthermore, our country is aging.

As of Dec. 31, 2020, the company had cash and short-term investments of $2.42 billion.\nCEO Strauss Zelnick said:\n\n “Due to an incredibly strong holiday season, coupled with our ability to provide consistently the highest quality entertainment experiences, especially as many individuals continue to shelter at home, Take-Two delivered operating results that significantly exceeded our expectations.”\n\nYTD, shares are down around 18%. TTWO stock has given up some of its recent gains after hitting an all-time high in early February.

The goal of the WSB community is to create a short squeeze that sends heavily shorted stocks rocketing higher. Since the vast majority of short-sellers are institutional investors and hedge funds, these retail investors view their actions as a way of getting back at the so-called \"big money.\"</p>\n<p>AMC is an extremely popular (and incredibly dangerous) investment</p>\n<p>Although<b>GameStop</b>is the unquestioned king of all Reddit stocks, movie theater chain<b>AMC Entertainment Holdings</b>(NYSE:AMC)easily slots in as the second-most-popular. AMC was one of the market's most short-sold stocks in late January, and its penny-stock share price acted as an insatiable lure for young investors.</p>\n<p>Beyond the Reddit frenzy, optimists are also encouraged by the reopening of the U.S. economy. Movie theaters in New York City and Los Angeles are beginning to reopen, and 21% of the U.S. population has received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine. A return to normal appears to be in sight, and investors are betting big on AMC to take advantage of this pent-up demand.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the \"buy AMC\" thesisis flawed. The reopening catalyst assumes that there'll be no setbacks in major markets, which is unlikely. It's not yet clear if enough Americans will get the vaccine, which suggests that herd immunity could be pushed further down the road. Coronavirus variants also threaten to diminish the effectiveness of vaccines authorized for emergency use.</p>\n<p>Even more concerning, AMCnarrowly avoided filing for bankruptcy protectionearlier this year. It was forced to sell close to 165 million shares of stock and issued more than $400 million in debt capital to step back from the bankruptcy ledge. If capacity limits don't ease somewhat quickly in key markets, I'm not certain AMC will have enough capital to survive the year -- especially if there are pandemic setbacks.</p>\n<p>But worst of all, AMC's core operating model is now threatened. With consumers stuck in their homes for roughly a year, select streaming services have become competitors.<b>AT&amp;T</b>&nbsp;subsidiary WarnerMedia isreleasing all of its movies in 2021 on HBO Maxthe same day they'll hit theaters.<b>Walt Disney</b>&nbsp;plans to do something similar with a couple of movies on its Disney+ streaming platform.</p>\n<p><b>Forget AMC: These innovative stocks can make you rich</b></p>\n<p>The point being that AMC is a dangerous investment that's liable to lose folks a lot of money. Instead of buying a company that's hanging on by a thread, I'd encourage you to consider purchasing the following three game-changing stocks, all of which have the tools to make you rich.</p>\n<p><b>Ping Identity</b></p>\n<p>Though there are a number of trends that offer double-digit growth potential this decade,cybersecurity might be the safest of the bunch. As more businesses push online and move their data (and that of their customers) onto the cloud, the onus of protecting this data is increasingly going to fall on third-party providers. That's where<b>Ping Identity Holding</b>(NYSE:PING)comes in.</p>\n<p>Whereas most security companies excelled during the pandemic, identity verification specialist Ping Identitystruggled a bit. Full-year sales were essentially flat, with a number of clients opting for one-year subscriptions instead of multiyear plans. But there's plenty of reason to believe that this weakness was pandemic-related and only temporary.</p>\n<p>Even though total sales were flat, the company's focus on subscription services helped boost annual recurring revenue (ARR) by 15% to $259.1 million. Ping also ended the year with 51 customers generating in excess of $1 million in ARR, which is up from 38 clients at the end of 2019. The company is clearly capable of scaling up its services with larger clients, and touts that its services are protecting 60% of Fortune 100 companies.</p>\n<p>What's more, 92% of its fourth-quarter sales were derived from subscriptions, and its subscription gross margin stood at 86% in that quarter of 2020. Even if its ARR growth were to motor along at, say, 15% for the next half-decade, it'd be pretty hard to overlook the cash flow potential when the company's subscriptions are generating 86% gross margin.</p>\n<p>Ping Identity is alsovery reasonably priced. Whereas most cybersecurity stocks are valued at 20 times sales or higher, Ping can be scooped up for around 7 times forecast sales in 2021. It just might be the best value among cybersecurity stocks.</p>\n<p><b>Cresco Labs</b></p>\n<p>Marijuana stocksshould be big-time winners throughout the decade, regardless of what happens with cannabis' classification in Washington. Operating in the most lucrative market in the world, the U.S., multistate operator (MSO)<b>Cresco Labs</b>(OTC:CRLBF)has the potential to make investors rich.</p>\n<p>As with most MSOs, Cresco's success will depend somewhat on its retail presence. The company entered the year with only 20 open dispensaries, but has been leaning on acquisitions to expand. Closing the Verdant Creations deal maximized its presence in Ohio, while the pending<b>Bluma Wellness</b>buyout will give the company a healthy presence in medical-marijuana-legal Florida.</p>\n<p>Yet what's interesting about Cresco Labs is that its retail game planmostly revolves around limited-license states. In particular, over 60% of its open locations are in states where the number of retail licenses is capped by regulators. Pushing into states with caps on dispensary licenses is a smart way for Cresco to build up its brand while facing minimal competition.</p>\n<p>However, thebigger growth driver for the companyis likely to be its wholesale operations. Even though wholesale cannabis offers lower margins than retail, Cresco has more than enough volume to overlook any margin differences. That's because it holds one of the highly coveted cannabis distribution licenses in California, which allows the company to place proprietary and third-party products into more than 575 dispensaries throughout the Golden State.</p>\n<p>With Cresco's projected growth surpassing many of its peers, it has a good chance to put some serious green into the pockets of its shareholders.</p>\n<p><b>Intuitive Surgical</b></p>\n<p>Lastly, investors should forget all about AMC Entertainment andbuy into a real game-changerin the healthcare sector,<b>Intuitive Surgical</b>(NASDAQ:ISRG).</p>\n<p>Intuitive Surgical is best known for its robotic-assisted surgical system, the da Vinci, which allows surgeons to make precise incisions that can reduce scarring and shorten hospital stays. For insurers, it can lead to higher up-front costs, but reduce extended hospital stays that can prove even costlier.</p>\n<p>The da Vinci system is the unquestioned leader in robotic-assisted surgery. Intuitive has placed close to 6,000 of its machines worldwide since 2000, which is more than all of the company's competitors combined. The company has been able to build priceless rapport with surgeons in hospitals and surgical centers, which makes ithighly unlikelythat we'll see its clients switch to a competing system.</p>\n<p>But it's not just the company's overwhelming competitive edge that makes it such an attractive stock.

The goal of the WSB community is to create a short squeeze that sends heavily shorted stocks rocketing higher. Since the vast majority of short-sellers are institutional investors and hedge funds, these retail investors view their actions as a way of getting back at the so-called \"big money.\"\nAMC is an extremely popular (and incredibly dangerous) investment\nAlthoughGameStopis the unquestioned king of all Reddit stocks, movie theater chainAMC Entertainment Holdings(NYSE:AMC)easily slots in as the second-most-popular. AMC was one of the market's most short-sold stocks in late January, and its penny-stock share price acted as an insatiable lure for young investors.\nBeyond the Reddit frenzy, optimists are also encouraged by the reopening of the U.S. economy. Movie theaters in New York City and Los Angeles are beginning to reopen, and 21% of the U.S. population has received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine. A return to normal appears to be in sight, and investors are betting big on AMC to take advantage of this pent-up demand.\nUnfortunately, the \"buy AMC\" thesisis flawed. The reopening catalyst assumes that there'll be no setbacks in major markets, which is unlikely. It's not yet clear if enough Americans will get the vaccine, which suggests that herd immunity could be pushed further down the road. Coronavirus variants also threaten to diminish the effectiveness of vaccines authorized for emergency use.\nEven more concerning, AMCnarrowly avoided filing for bankruptcy protectionearlier this year. It was forced to sell close to 165 million shares of stock and issued more than $400 million in debt capital to step back from the bankruptcy ledge. If capacity limits don't ease somewhat quickly in key markets, I'm not certain AMC will have enough capital to survive the year -- especially if there are pandemic setbacks.\nBut worst of all, AMC's core operating model is now threatened. With consumers stuck in their homes for roughly a year, select streaming services have become competitors.AT&T subsidiary WarnerMedia isreleasing all of its movies in 2021 on HBO Maxthe same day they'll hit theaters.Walt Disney plans to do something similar with a couple of movies on its Disney+ streaming platform.\nForget AMC: These innovative stocks can make you rich\nThe point being that AMC is a dangerous investment that's liable to lose folks a lot of money. Instead of buying a company that's hanging on by a thread, I'd encourage you to consider purchasing the following three game-changing stocks, all of which have the tools to make you rich.\nPing Identity\nThough there are a number of trends that offer double-digit growth potential this decade,cybersecurity might be the safest of the bunch. As more businesses push online and move their data (and that of their customers) onto the cloud, the onus of protecting this data is increasingly going to fall on third-party providers. That's wherePing Identity Holding(NYSE:PING)comes in.\nWhereas most security companies excelled during the pandemic, identity verification specialist Ping Identitystruggled a bit. Full-year sales were essentially flat, with a number of clients opting for one-year subscriptions instead of multiyear plans. But there's plenty of reason to believe that this weakness was pandemic-related and only temporary.\nEven though total sales were flat, the company's focus on subscription services helped boost annual recurring revenue (ARR) by 15% to $259.1 million. Ping also ended the year with 51 customers generating in excess of $1 million in ARR, which is up from 38 clients at the end of 2019. The company is clearly capable of scaling up its services with larger clients, and touts that its services are protecting 60% of Fortune 100 companies.\nWhat's more, 92% of its fourth-quarter sales were derived from subscriptions, and its subscription gross margin stood at 86% in that quarter of 2020. Even if its ARR growth were to motor along at, say, 15% for the next half-decade, it'd be pretty hard to overlook the cash flow potential when the company's subscriptions are generating 86% gross margin.\nPing Identity is alsovery reasonably priced. Whereas most cybersecurity stocks are valued at 20 times sales or higher, Ping can be scooped up for around 7 times forecast sales in 2021. It just might be the best value among cybersecurity stocks.\nCresco Labs\nMarijuana stocksshould be big-time winners throughout the decade, regardless of what happens with cannabis' classification in Washington. Operating in the most lucrative market in the world, the U.S., multistate operator (MSO)Cresco Labs(OTC:CRLBF)has the potential to make investors rich.\nAs with most MSOs, Cresco's success will depend somewhat on its retail presence. The company entered the year with only 20 open dispensaries, but has been leaning on acquisitions to expand. Closing the Verdant Creations deal maximized its presence in Ohio, while the pendingBluma Wellnessbuyout will give the company a healthy presence in medical-marijuana-legal Florida.\nYet what's interesting about Cresco Labs is that its retail game planmostly revolves around limited-license states. In particular, over 60% of its open locations are in states where the number of retail licenses is capped by regulators. Pushing into states with caps on dispensary licenses is a smart way for Cresco to build up its brand while facing minimal competition.\nHowever, thebigger growth driver for the companyis likely to be its wholesale operations. Even though wholesale cannabis offers lower margins than retail, Cresco has more than enough volume to overlook any margin differences. That's because it holds one of the highly coveted cannabis distribution licenses in California, which allows the company to place proprietary and third-party products into more than 575 dispensaries throughout the Golden State.\nWith Cresco's projected growth surpassing many of its peers, it has a good chance to put some serious green into the pockets of its shareholders.\nIntuitive Surgical\nLastly, investors should forget all about AMC Entertainment andbuy into a real game-changerin the healthcare sector,Intuitive Surgical(NASDAQ:ISRG).\nIntuitive Surgical is best known for its robotic-assisted surgical system, the da Vinci, which allows surgeons to make precise incisions that can reduce scarring and shorten hospital stays. For insurers, it can lead to higher up-front costs, but reduce extended hospital stays that can prove even costlier.\nThe da Vinci system is the unquestioned leader in robotic-assisted surgery. Intuitive has placed close to 6,000 of its machines worldwide since 2000, which is more than all of the company's competitors combined. The company has been able to build priceless rapport with surgeons in hospitals and surgical centers, which makes ithighly unlikelythat we'll see its clients switch to a competing system.\nBut it's not just the company's overwhelming competitive edge that makes it such an attractive stock. Its operating model isdesigned to grow more efficient over time. As more da Vinci systems are installed, a higher percentage of sales will be derived from segments with juicier margins, such as instruments and accessories sold with each procedure, as well as system servicing.\nIntuitive Surgical is just beginning to realize its opportunity with its innovative soft-tissue surgical solutions. Expect the da Vinci to pick up significant market share in thoracic, colorectal, and general soft-tissue procedures throughout the decade.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":279,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":359388862,"gmtCreate":1616343942456,"gmtModify":1704793020806,"author":{"id":"3578401675475466","authorId":"3578401675475466","name":"egp","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea2097a2bb202d6059687baec5a24ee8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578401675475466","authorIdStr":"3578401675475466"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great","listText":"Great","text":"Great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/359388862","repostId":"1117450855","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1117450855","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616166767,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1117450855?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-19 23:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Powell says Fed will keep supporting economy ‘for as long as it takes’","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1117450855","media":"marketwatch","summary":"Outlook is brightening, but recovery ‘far from complete,’ Fed chairman says in WSJ op-ed.Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Friday said that while the U.S. economic outlook is “brightening,” the recovery is “far from complete.”In an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal,Powell recounted the moment last February when he realized that the coronavirus pandemic would sweep across the country.“The danger to the U.S. economy was grave.

Even Jim Cramer has jumped aboard.\nAs a contrarian, I’ve been suggesting reopening plays in this column and my stock letter (the link is in the bio below) for upwards of a year. They’ve doubled, or more, in many cases. Now it makes me nervous to see the crowd come in. Often that’s a sign a theme is on its last legs.\nWait, how could the reopening theme be spent even before reopening happens? That’s easy. Often markets price events in six months in advance.\nBut I think this one has more to go for a simple reason. I watch corporate insiders closely, and in the past few weeks they have been huge buyers of quintessential reopening plays in dating, travel and retail.\nHere’s a roundup of the purchases that tell me the theme still has legs. The insider buying also suggests these six stocks could extend their outperformance.\nDating is making a comeback\nMillions of people cut back on dating because of fears about contracting Covid-19. That’ll change big time during the reopening, providing a boost to the dating app company Bumble.\nWe’re already seeing early signs that singles really want to mingle — and not only in the huge spring break gatherings in Florida. Fourth-quarter revenue at Bumble increased 31% compared to a more sluggish 10% growth for all of 2020, weighed down by peak Covid-19 fears during the second and third quarters. Users paying for premium versions of the service increased 32.5% in the fourth quarter, compared to 22.2% growth for the full year.\nBumble is a dating app with a twist in that only women can initiate contact after parties both indicate an interest by swiping right on profiles. Premium features on the company’s Bumble and Badoo apps allow users to see who swiped right on them, post more personal information and spotlight profiles. Online dating apps are now the most common way for new couples to meet in the U.S., according to a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS).\nDirector Pamela Thomas-Graham bought $498,000 worth of stock at $76.23 in mid-February as Bumble came public, and CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd bought $21 million worth at $43.\nWanderlust returns\nI’ve been suggesting Avis Budget Group in my stock letter since it traded at $31 in early October last year. It’s now up 122% to $69, but I recently suggested subscribers should continue holding. Yes, the pandemic crushed rentals. But people really want to get out and travel.

If that holds, it would translate into expected growth this year of more than 6.2% - the highest annual rate in 37 years.</p>\n<p>But when they issue their policy statement at the end of a two-day meeting on Wednesday, Fed officials are expected to restate what they’ve promised for months now: to keep the central bank’s benchmark overnight interest rate near zero and cash flowing into the economy until Americans are back to work, trusting that inflation will remain contained, as it has been for about 30 years.</p>\n<p>The economic projections and policy statement are scheduled to be released at 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT). Powell will hold a news conference shortly after, an event that could prove tricky for the Fed chief.</p>\n<p>Markets predict the Fed may be forced to act sooner than expected. Some policymakers could even hint at that if new projections show more of them anticipate a rate increase sometime in 2023, rather than a year or more later.</p>\n<p>If a majority see a 2023 hike, “Powell will have his work cut out for him” explaining how that meshes with a promise to get the economy back to full employment before reducing the crisis support rolled out when the pandemic struck, Tim Duy, chief U.S. economist for SGH Macro Advisors, wrote this week.</p>\n<p>Still, investors are already betting on earlier hikes, and some economists are also raising a red flag along with their forecasts. Morgan Stanley, among the more bullish in predicting the economy will have fully escaped its pandemic hole by September, sees the Fed’s approach producing a “hotter but shorter” business cycle that is likely to prompt it to tighten monetary policy early next year.</p>\n<p>The coming cycle would be less like the last three expansions - the one ended by the pandemic lasted a decade - and more like the period after World War Two when the intervals between recessions were shorter and intervening growth stronger.</p>\n<p>That epoch ended when then-President Richard Nixon encouraged loose monetary policy ahead of his 1972 re-election. Arthur Burns, who was the Fed chief at the time, kept interest rates low as the economy accelerated, and is often blamed for the ensuing rampant inflation that dogged the country for a decade.</p>\n<p>This time is different, Fed officials argue. Indeed, Powell’s legacy may hinge on whether inflation remains tame as the economy recovers, or whether prices spike, forcing the central bank to pull back its support - perhaps with millions of Americans still out of work.</p>\n<p>Their arguments are well-rehearsed. Inflation and unemployment don’t behave as they used to; lower levels of joblessness can now coexist with low inflation.</p>\n<p>The Fed made substantial changes to its policy statement last year encompassing that thinking, and the guidance issued in December is expected to hold for now. It pledged to continue its monthly $120 billion of bond purchases until there was “substantial further progress” towards full employment and 2% inflation. Moreover, it said interest rates would not increase until those goals were actually met.</p>\n<p>None of those things have happened yet, a point Powell has stressed recently and will likely again on Wednesday. The economy remains about 9 million jobs short of its pre-pandemic level; the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, at 1.5%, is well short of its goal; a new index of slow-moving inflation expectations is also below target.</p>\n<p><b>‘CLEAR-EYED’</b></p>\n<p>Still, it is a pivotal moment as Fed officials issue forecasts incorporating a bounty of new information.</p>\n<p>Since their December projections, more than 100 million COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in the United States and daily deaths due to the virus have fallen by two-thirds. Optimism has spiked, and states have begun lifting restrictions on businesses and reopening schools.

Here are four solid stocks you can own to allay those fears.</p>\n<p>The past year has been a wild one. The coronavirus pandemic dramatically impacted our lives, bringing with it a drastic increase in fiscal spending. Since last March, Congress passed the $2.2 trillion CARES Act; an additional $900 billion of relief aid in December; and most recently the American Rescue Plan, totaling another $1.9 trillion in stimulus.</p>\n<p>This massive fiscal spending has some market watchers concerned about inflation. In January, Fannie Mae warned about the potential effects inflation could have on the economy in 2021 and beyond, and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and former International Monetary Fund Chief Economist Olivier Blanchard have expressed concerns as well.</p>\n<p>When inflation becomes a problem, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> way the Federal Reserve responds is by raising interest rates to cool down the economy -- and some companies can weather a higher-interest rate environment better than others. Because inflation is hard to predict, it is important to focus on well-run companies that navigated the global pandemic well and would also perform well with rising interest rates. Here are four great companies for you to consider.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de2458f247b63c18b8d7a45c13afe2e4\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"525\"><span>Image Source: Getty Images</span></p>\n<p><b>1. U.S. Bancorp</b></p>\n<p>One industry that benefits from rising interest rates is banks. That's because banks make money off the net interest spread -- the difference between interest rates on deposits and interest rates the bank can receive in the open market.</p>\n<p><b>U.S. Bancorp</b> (NYSE:USB) is one of the best-run banks in the U.S., but it struggled in 2020, along with many of its peers, due in part to a lack of investment banking operations. The bank should benefit from the economy reopening, though, giving management optimism about loan growth during the year. It's also optimistic about an upturn in corporate activity, which should spur corporate loan growth, as well as increased credit card spending by consumers.</p>\n<p>Investors have typically paid a premium for U.S. Bancorp. Over the past 10 years, the bank's ratio of price to tangible book value (P/TBV) has averaged 2.5. At its current P/TBV of 2.4, the bank looks cheap, especially when you consider that it outperformed many banking peers across key metrics in 2020. The company has billions of dollars in capital above regulatory requirements, which puts it in prime position to benefit from the economic reopening.</p>\n<p><b>2. Glacier Bancorp</b></p>\n<p><b>Glacier Bancorp</b> (NASDAQ:GBCI) is a regional bank with a footprint in the Rocky Mountain and Southwest regions of the United States. It's positioned in the four fastest-growing states in the U.S. in 2020 -- Idaho, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. As it expands its footprint in the region, this is another bank sure to benefit from higher interest rates.</p>\n<p>The bank benefited from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) in 2020, and should continue to reap rewards in the first two quarters of this year as the SBA forgives more of these loans. Glacier's PPP participation generated $93.4 million in fees and interest revenue, and record mortgage production helped the bank see another $99.5 million in revenue from gain on sale of loans. As a result, Glacier generated a record income of $266 million in 2020, and has put these added funds to work. The bank has been able to utilize these funds to purchase debt securities, while cautiously keeping an eye out for rising interest rates. Management is prepared to put more of its capital to work as yields improve, making it another solid choice if inflation were to pick up meaningfully.</p>\n<p><b>3. Progressive</b></p>\n<p>Insurance is another industry that benefits from rising interest rates. That's because insurance companies invest excess capital from their usual underwriting activity to generate interest income, which can help boost their top and bottom lines.</p>\n<p><b>Progressive</b> (NYSE:PGR) is one of the best in the game. While Progressive is less reliant on investment income than competitors, it would still welcome a rising-interest rate environment. &nbsp;That's because the company has a $43.3 billion investment portfolio, which generated 2.2% of total revenue in 2020. The portfolio would likely provide a bigger boost as interest rates rise.</p>\n<p>Best of all, the insurer has posted stellar growth rates for a decade now. Since 2010, Progressive has grown its earned premiums at an annual rate of 10.4%, which helped net income grow annually at 18.2%. The company also posted stellar results in 2020, growing premiums earned by 8.5% while net income grew 43.7%. It also had another great year managing risk, posting a combined ratio -- a measure of an insurer's profitability -- of 87.7% during the year. A ratio under 100% indicates the insurer is writing profitable policies.</p>\n<p>The company is well-known for its investments in telematics, meaning its logging of driver information to help it write better policies. Its leadership in this space, combined with its stellar underwriting standards and its position to take advantage of higher interest rates, is why this insurer is another solid option.</p>\n<p><b>4. Chubb</b></p>\n<p><b>Chubb</b> (NYSE:CB) is another company in the insurance industry that would benefit as rates increase. Chubb is more reliant on investment income than Progressive, since it makes up 9.4% of its total revenue.</p>\n<p>Chubb, the world's largest property and casualty insurer, was hurt in 2020 by the global pandemic, wildfires, flooding, and civil unrest. The company navigated a hardening insurance market in 2021, which saw insurers pay increased payouts and raise premiums in response. Its strong capital position puts it in place to take advantage of a favorable market for insurers in 2021. Another plus is that it's a Dividend Aristocrat, having increased its dividend payout 26 years in a row, and yields nearly 1.8% while achieving an easily managed payout ratio of 39.3%.</p>\n<p><b>Stay the course</b></p>\n<p>We can't know if or when inflation will pick up in the near future. All we can do is stay the course and have some exposure to those companies that would benefit from an inflationary environment, and thus a rising-interest rate environment. The four companies above are all well-run companies that look to post strong performances in 2021, and would benefit from a higher interest rate to boot.</p>","source":"fool_stock","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>Concerned About Inflation?

Here are four solid stocks you can own to allay those fears.\nThe past year has been a wild one. The coronavirus pandemic dramatically impacted our lives, bringing with it a drastic increase in fiscal spending. Since last March, Congress passed the $2.2 trillion CARES Act; an additional $900 billion of relief aid in December; and most recently the American Rescue Plan, totaling another $1.9 trillion in stimulus.\nThis massive fiscal spending has some market watchers concerned about inflation. In January, Fannie Mae warned about the potential effects inflation could have on the economy in 2021 and beyond, and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and former International Monetary Fund Chief Economist Olivier Blanchard have expressed concerns as well.\nWhen inflation becomes a problem, one way the Federal Reserve responds is by raising interest rates to cool down the economy -- and some companies can weather a higher-interest rate environment better than others. Because inflation is hard to predict, it is important to focus on well-run companies that navigated the global pandemic well and would also perform well with rising interest rates. Here are four great companies for you to consider.\nImage Source: Getty Images\n1. U.S. Bancorp\nOne industry that benefits from rising interest rates is banks. That's because banks make money off the net interest spread -- the difference between interest rates on deposits and interest rates the bank can receive in the open market.\nU.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) is one of the best-run banks in the U.S., but it struggled in 2020, along with many of its peers, due in part to a lack of investment banking operations. The bank should benefit from the economy reopening, though, giving management optimism about loan growth during the year. It's also optimistic about an upturn in corporate activity, which should spur corporate loan growth, as well as increased credit card spending by consumers.\nInvestors have typically paid a premium for U.S. Bancorp. Over the past 10 years, the bank's ratio of price to tangible book value (P/TBV) has averaged 2.5. At its current P/TBV of 2.4, the bank looks cheap, especially when you consider that it outperformed many banking peers across key metrics in 2020. The company has billions of dollars in capital above regulatory requirements, which puts it in prime position to benefit from the economic reopening.\n2. Glacier Bancorp\nGlacier Bancorp (NASDAQ:GBCI) is a regional bank with a footprint in the Rocky Mountain and Southwest regions of the United States. It's positioned in the four fastest-growing states in the U.S. in 2020 -- Idaho, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. As it expands its footprint in the region, this is another bank sure to benefit from higher interest rates.\nThe bank benefited from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) in 2020, and should continue to reap rewards in the first two quarters of this year as the SBA forgives more of these loans. Glacier's PPP participation generated $93.4 million in fees and interest revenue, and record mortgage production helped the bank see another $99.5 million in revenue from gain on sale of loans. As a result, Glacier generated a record income of $266 million in 2020, and has put these added funds to work. The bank has been able to utilize these funds to purchase debt securities, while cautiously keeping an eye out for rising interest rates. Management is prepared to put more of its capital to work as yields improve, making it another solid choice if inflation were to pick up meaningfully.\n3. Progressive\nInsurance is another industry that benefits from rising interest rates. That's because insurance companies invest excess capital from their usual underwriting activity to generate interest income, which can help boost their top and bottom lines.\nProgressive (NYSE:PGR) is one of the best in the game. While Progressive is less reliant on investment income than competitors, it would still welcome a rising-interest rate environment.  That's because the company has a $43.3 billion investment portfolio, which generated 2.2% of total revenue in 2020. The portfolio would likely provide a bigger boost as interest rates rise.\nBest of all, the insurer has posted stellar growth rates for a decade now. Since 2010, Progressive has grown its earned premiums at an annual rate of 10.4%, which helped net income grow annually at 18.2%. The company also posted stellar results in 2020, growing premiums earned by 8.5% while net income grew 43.7%. It also had another great year managing risk, posting a combined ratio -- a measure of an insurer's profitability -- of 87.7% during the year. A ratio under 100% indicates the insurer is writing profitable policies.\nThe company is well-known for its investments in telematics, meaning its logging of driver information to help it write better policies. Its leadership in this space, combined with its stellar underwriting standards and its position to take advantage of higher interest rates, is why this insurer is another solid option.\n4. Chubb\nChubb (NYSE:CB) is another company in the insurance industry that would benefit as rates increase. Chubb is more reliant on investment income than Progressive, since it makes up 9.4% of its total revenue.\nChubb, the world's largest property and casualty insurer, was hurt in 2020 by the global pandemic, wildfires, flooding, and civil unrest. The company navigated a hardening insurance market in 2021, which saw insurers pay increased payouts and raise premiums in response. Its strong capital position puts it in place to take advantage of a favorable market for insurers in 2021. Another plus is that it's a Dividend Aristocrat, having increased its dividend payout 26 years in a row, and yields nearly 1.8% while achieving an easily managed payout ratio of 39.3%.\nStay the course\nWe can't know if or when inflation will pick up in the near future. All we can do is stay the course and have some exposure to those companies that would benefit from an inflationary environment, and thus a rising-interest rate environment. The four companies above are all well-run companies that look to post strong performances in 2021, and would benefit from a higher interest rate to boot.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":220,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":324991473,"gmtCreate":1615948985892,"gmtModify":1704788820634,"author":{"id":"3578401675475466","authorId":"3578401675475466","name":"egp","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea2097a2bb202d6059687baec5a24ee8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578401675475466","authorIdStr":"3578401675475466"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Moon","listText":"Moon","text":"Moon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/324991473","repostId":"1103121082","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1103121082","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1615948559,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1103121082?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-17 10:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Easy Money, the Dot Plot, and the Fed’s Dilemma: An Investor Guide to a Key Meeting","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1103121082","media":"Barrons","summary":"The Federal Reserve has an awkward balancing act this week: It’s likely to at once issue brighter ec","content":"<p>The Federal Reserve has an awkward balancing act this week: It’s likely to at once issue brighter economic forecasts while trying to assure investors that it is still “not thinking about thinking about” lifting interest rates—and that it doesn’t need to.</p>\n<p>More-optimistic estimates for gross domestic product, unemployment and inflation would typically prompt an acknowledgement that monetary policy would, in turn, begin to tighten.

Here is a run down of what Wall Street is watching.</p>\n<p><b>Updated economic forecasts:</b>In the December Summary of Economic Projections, the FOMC projected 4.2% GDP growth for 2021 and 3.2% for 2022, bringing its inflation expectation to 2% by the end of 2023 and thus implying rates would begin to rise in 2024.</p>\n<p>Aneta Markowska, chief economist at Jefferies, thinks the FOMC will raise GDP forecasts for the next two years to about 6% and 4%, respectively. This should push the unemployment rate below the natural rate (the lowest unemployment rate an economy can sustain with inflation remaining stable) by the second half of 2022, she says, meaning the 2% inflation forecast would be pulled forward to the end of 2022—and the first rate hike therefore pulled forward to 2023. (In December, the Fed projected inflation at a 1.8% rate at the end of this year.)</p>\n<p>Fed officials have expressed comfort in letting inflation run hotter than the 2% target. The question is by how much. Even though the FOMC will likely repeat that the recovery will slow after this year, new forecasts may show inflation of over 2% in both 2022 and 2023 alongside an unemployment rate of 3.5% by the end of 2023, thereby meeting the Fed’s criteria of inflation above 2% and “maximum employment,” says David Kelly, chief global strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds.</p>\n<p>Some economists, however, say the Fed may focus more on a broader unemployment rate, known as the U-6 rate, that includes discouraged workers plus those who are working part time but would prefer to work full time, among others. That would give policy makers more breathing room given how much higher U-6 stands (11.1%) compared with the “official” U-3 rate (6.2%).</p>\n<p>Given the Fed’s new policy framework defines maximum employment as consisting of ‘broad-based and inclusive’ employment, investors looking to handicap the Fed’s next rate move should monitor the U-6 unemployment rate, says Bostjancic of Oxford Economics.</p>\n<p><b>The dot plot:</b>In December, only one of 17 FOMC members submitting forecasts saw a rate hike by the end of 2022 and five saw a rate hike by the end of 2023. While some economists say Fed officials may be wary of lifting their dots, or appearing more hawkish and thereby adding fuel to a surge in long-term interest rates that has been under way, others say the Fed has to show some change in its rate outlook.</p>\n<p>“Given the magnitude of the likely forecast revisions, it would be hard to justify no change in the policy outlook,” says Markowska. “Not doing so would be inconsistent with data-dependency and would strongly suggest that the Fed is calendar dependent (which the Fed insists it isn’t).” At the same time, she says, the Fed hasn’t pushed back against the recent repricing of rate expectations, which is an implicit endorsement of what’s already priced in.</p>\n<p>Bostjancic expects the median forecast to show at least one 0.25% rate hike during 2023, while Markowska thinks the median 2023 dot could rise to 0.375% (she notes only 4 members need to lift their dots—or signal a higher expected Fed funds rate by the end of 2023—to move the median rate projection. The bond market has priced in three quarter-point increases by the end of 2023.</p>\n<p><b>Bond market action:</b>How the Treasury market reacts to the new Fed information will be at least as interesting as the information itself. Instead of the Fed potentially catching up to where the market already is in terms of rate expectations, Bostjancic says even a whiff of the Fed pulling forward rate hike expectations could spur the bond market to price in more tightening.</p>\n<p>Ian Lyngen, head of rates strategy at BMO Capital, says chances are low Powell will meaningfully alter his stance on the recent yield action, maintaining that as long as the move is driven by an improving economic outlook and inflation expectations, the repricing is for the right reasons. “Needless to say, higher yields are good until they are not and it’s just such an inflection point that represents the more significant policy risk for the Fed,” he says.</p>\n<p>Lyngen is watching the 1.64% level on the 10-year (it was last week’s yield peak as well as the highest for the benchmark since early-February 2020) and has a 1.75% target on the note.</p>\n<p><b>SLR exemption extension:</b>Potentially contributing to bond market action on Wednesday will be any signal around the Fed’s plan for a popular program launched last April, as pandemic-driven shutdowns cascaded.</p>\n<p>Wall Street is hoping for an extension of a temporary exemption of Treasuries and bank deposits at the Fed Reserve Banks from the banks’ Supplementary Leverage Ratio, which requires financial institutions hold a minimum ratio of at least 3% in capital measured against their total leverage exposure. The exemption is set to expire at the end of March.</p>\n<p>The exemption’s fate has big implications. Over the past year, banks have increased their purchases of Treasuries by a large $854 billion, while bank reserves have ballooned by $1.8 trillion, Bostjancic notes. Economists say the lack of an extension could significantly lessen banks’ appetite for Treasuries, putting even more upward pressure on yields.</p>\n<p><b>Further easing watch:</b>Wall Street generally doesn’t expect more easing unless yields stage a more disorderly surge and financial conditions meaningfully tighten. For now, the FOMC “is reasonably well positioned to stay the course for the time being,” Lyngen says, “even if such an outcome involves the risk of tacitly endorsing a further Treasury selloff at stage when investors are wary, if not worried.”</p>\n<p>As for potential responses to any disorderly jump in yields, economists say the Fed has a few options. Most immediately, the Fed could opt to lengthen the duration of its current asset purchases, says Bostjancic. As of December, the average maturity under the current program was 7.4 years, she says, adding that policy makers could start buying 10- to 30-year Treasuries. Doing so would effectively be one part of a new “operation twist,” with the other leg involving the sale of short-date Treasury bills, Bostjancic says.</p>\n<p>If financial conditions tighten much more sharply and buying further out on the yield curve proves insufficient, Bostjancic and others say the Fed could attempt yield curve control.</p>\n<p>YCC, undertaken by the Fed after World War II, the Bank of Japan in 2016, and the Reserve Bank of Australia in 2020, aims to control interest rates along some portion of the yield curve, targeting longer-term rates directly by imposing interest rate caps on particular maturities.As economists at the St. Louis Fed put it, because bond prices and yields are inversely related, this also implies a price floor for targeted maturities: if bond prices (yields) of targeted maturities remain above (below) the floor, the central bank does nothing. But if prices fall (rise) below (above) the floor, the central bank buys targeted-maturity bonds—increasing the demand and thus the price of those bonds.</p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","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>Easy Money, the Dot Plot, and the Fed’s Dilemma: An Investor Guide to a Key Meeting</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\">\nEasy Money, the Dot Plot, and the Fed’s Dilemma: An Investor Guide to a Key Meeting\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-17 10:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.barrons.com/articles/easy-money-the-dot-plot-and-the-feds-dilemma-an-investor-guide-to-a-key-meeting-51615905001?mod=hp_LEAD_1><strong>Barrons</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The Federal Reserve has an awkward balancing act this week: It’s likely to at once issue brighter economic forecasts while trying to assure investors that it is still “not thinking about thinking ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.barrons.com/articles/easy-money-the-dot-plot-and-the-feds-dilemma-an-investor-guide-to-a-key-meeting-51615905001?mod=hp_LEAD_1\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".SPX":"S&P 500 Index",".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite",".DJI":"道琼斯"},"source_url":"https://www.barrons.com/articles/easy-money-the-dot-plot-and-the-feds-dilemma-an-investor-guide-to-a-key-meeting-51615905001?mod=hp_LEAD_1","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1103121082","content_text":"The Federal Reserve has an awkward balancing act this week: It’s likely to at once issue brighter economic forecasts while trying to assure investors that it is still “not thinking about thinking about” lifting interest rates—and that it doesn’t need to.\nMore-optimistic estimates for gross domestic product, unemployment and inflation would typically prompt an acknowledgement that monetary policy would, in turn, begin to tighten.

While some economists say Fed officials may be wary of lifting their dots, or appearing more hawkish and thereby adding fuel to a surge in long-term interest rates that has been under way, others say the Fed has to show some change in its rate outlook.\n“Given the magnitude of the likely forecast revisions, it would be hard to justify no change in the policy outlook,” says Markowska. “Not doing so would be inconsistent with data-dependency and would strongly suggest that the Fed is calendar dependent (which the Fed insists it isn’t).” At the same time, she says, the Fed hasn’t pushed back against the recent repricing of rate expectations, which is an implicit endorsement of what’s already priced in.\nBostjancic expects the median forecast to show at least one 0.25% rate hike during 2023, while Markowska thinks the median 2023 dot could rise to 0.375% (she notes only 4 members need to lift their dots—or signal a higher expected Fed funds rate by the end of 2023—to move the median rate projection. The bond market has priced in three quarter-point increases by the end of 2023.\nBond market action:How the Treasury market reacts to the new Fed information will be at least as interesting as the information itself. Instead of the Fed potentially catching up to where the market already is in terms of rate expectations, Bostjancic says even a whiff of the Fed pulling forward rate hike expectations could spur the bond market to price in more tightening.\nIan Lyngen, head of rates strategy at BMO Capital, says chances are low Powell will meaningfully alter his stance on the recent yield action, maintaining that as long as the move is driven by an improving economic outlook and inflation expectations, the repricing is for the right reasons. “Needless to say, higher yields are good until they are not and it’s just such an inflection point that represents the more significant policy risk for the Fed,” he says.\nLyngen is watching the 1.64% level on the 10-year (it was last week’s yield peak as well as the highest for the benchmark since early-February 2020) and has a 1.75% target on the note.\nSLR exemption extension:Potentially contributing to bond market action on Wednesday will be any signal around the Fed’s plan for a popular program launched last April, as pandemic-driven shutdowns cascaded.\nWall Street is hoping for an extension of a temporary exemption of Treasuries and bank deposits at the Fed Reserve Banks from the banks’ Supplementary Leverage Ratio, which requires financial institutions hold a minimum ratio of at least 3% in capital measured against their total leverage exposure. The exemption is set to expire at the end of March.\nThe exemption’s fate has big implications. Over the past year, banks have increased their purchases of Treasuries by a large $854 billion, while bank reserves have ballooned by $1.8 trillion, Bostjancic notes. Economists say the lack of an extension could significantly lessen banks’ appetite for Treasuries, putting even more upward pressure on yields.\nFurther easing watch:Wall Street generally doesn’t expect more easing unless yields stage a more disorderly surge and financial conditions meaningfully tighten. For now, the FOMC “is reasonably well positioned to stay the course for the time being,” Lyngen says, “even if such an outcome involves the risk of tacitly endorsing a further Treasury selloff at stage when investors are wary, if not worried.”\nAs for potential responses to any disorderly jump in yields, economists say the Fed has a few options. Most immediately, the Fed could opt to lengthen the duration of its current asset purchases, says Bostjancic. As of December, the average maturity under the current program was 7.4 years, she says, adding that policy makers could start buying 10- to 30-year Treasuries. Doing so would effectively be one part of a new “operation twist,” with the other leg involving the sale of short-date Treasury bills, Bostjancic says.\nIf financial conditions tighten much more sharply and buying further out on the yield curve proves insufficient, Bostjancic and others say the Fed could attempt yield curve control.\nYCC, undertaken by the Fed after World War II, the Bank of Japan in 2016, and the Reserve Bank of Australia in 2020, aims to control interest rates along some portion of the yield curve, targeting longer-term rates directly by imposing interest rate caps on particular maturities.As economists at the St. Louis Fed put it, because bond prices and yields are inversely related, this also implies a price floor for targeted maturities: if bond prices (yields) of targeted maturities remain above (below) the floor, the central bank does nothing. But if prices fall (rise) below (above) the floor, the central bank buys targeted-maturity bonds—increasing the demand and thus the price of those bonds.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":303,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":328214180,"gmtCreate":1615529422040,"gmtModify":1704784146850,"author":{"id":"3578401675475466","authorId":"3578401675475466","name":"egp","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea2097a2bb202d6059687baec5a24ee8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578401675475466","authorIdStr":"3578401675475466"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hkd&nbsp;","listText":"Hkd&nbsp;","text":"Hkd","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/328214180","repostId":"2118242934","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2118242934","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1615508666,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2118242934?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-12 08:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Baidu seeks up to $4.8 billion in Hong Kong second listing","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2118242934","media":"The Straits Times","summary":"HONG KONG (BLOOMBERG) - Search engine giant Baidu is seeking to raise as much as HK$28 billion (S$4.","content":"<div>\n<p>HONG KONG (BLOOMBERG) - Search engine giant Baidu is seeking to raise as much as HK$28 billion (S$4.8 billion) in a second listing in Hong Kong, kicking off the second such share sale by a US-traded ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.straitstimes.com/business/companies-markets/baidu-seeks-up-to-48-billion-in-hong-kong-second-listing\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"straits_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

That price represents a 19 per cent premium to Baidu's Wednesday closing price in New York. Baidu rose 6.8 per cent on Thursday.\nBaidu aims to set the final price before the US market open on March 17 and start trading in Hong Kong on March 23. At US$3.6 billion (S$4.8 billion), it would be the biggest so-called homecoming listing of a US-traded Chinese company in Hong Kong since JD.com's June 2020 offering, which raised US$4.5 billion.\nBaidu follows online car-sales website Autohome in seeking a trading foothold in the Asian financial hub this year, after a wave of such share sales in 2020 which saw some US$17 billion raised. Other companies looking at selling shares in the city include Tencent Music Entertainment Group and video company Bilibili.\nAutohome raised US$688 million after pricing its Hong Kong share sale at about a 5.5 per cent discount to its last closing price in New York on Monday.\nA growing cohort of US-traded Chinese firms have been listing in Hong Kong amid deteriorating relations between the world's two biggest economies. The second listings enable the companies to expand their investor bases closer to their home markets.\nThe trend has boosted the listing volumes of Hong Kong's bourse, which now has a growing contingent of tech companies listed there. The city has had a bumper start to the year for initial public offerings, such as video startup Kuaishou Technology's US$6.2 billion debut in February. The Chinese company's shares are trading 168 per cent above their offering price.\nOnce one of China's tech leaders, Baidu is now playing catch-up as the country's internet users increasingly shift from desktop to mobile. In recent years the company has spent billions of dollars in areas such as language learning and autonomous driving, betting on smart devices and vehicles of the future.\nBank of America, CLSA and Goldman Sachs Group are joint sponsors of the offering, while China International Capital Corp, UBS Group and CCB International (Holdings) are joint global coordinators, according to Thursday's filing.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":106,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":328215031,"gmtCreate":1615529294123,"gmtModify":1704784145230,"author":{"id":"3578401675475466","authorId":"3578401675475466","name":"egp","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea2097a2bb202d6059687baec5a24ee8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578401675475466","authorIdStr":"3578401675475466"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"That's great&nbsp;","listText":"That's great&nbsp;","text":"That's great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/328215031","repostId":"1144029837","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1144029837","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1615513990,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1144029837?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-12 09:53","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"The Nasdaq's Back, and These 3 Stocks Are Flying High Again","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1144029837","media":"Nasdaq","summary":"The stock market has been going through a lot of volatility lately, and theNasdaq Composite(NASDAQIN","content":"<p>The stock market has been going through a lot of volatility lately, and the<b>Nasdaq Composite</b>(NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC)has found itself on the short end of the stick.

Crypto has been a big business for PayPal since late last year, when it started offering select tokens through its app. With crypto prices back near record levels, investors are excited about the potential for PayPal to keep competing effectively in the space.Meanwhile, PayPal has also embraced efforts to allow customers to make purchases using short-term installment plans, breaking up purchase prices into four payments. PayPal'sPay in 4service isn't the only one in the business, but it represents the company's competitive entry into the space. Together, all these factors are making people feel good about PayPal once again.Ride the waveVolatility is hard to endure, but selling at lows rarely works out. The recent gains in PayPal, Okta, and MercadoLibre show that strong businesses can bounce back from adversity and reward shareholders who stay the course.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":64,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":328212219,"gmtCreate":1615529248531,"gmtModify":1704784144907,"author":{"id":"3578401675475466","authorId":"3578401675475466","name":"egp","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea2097a2bb202d6059687baec5a24ee8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578401675475466","authorIdStr":"3578401675475466"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Noted&nbsp;","listText":"Noted&nbsp;","text":"Noted","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/328212219","repostId":"1199156489","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1199156489","kind":"news","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":1615452861,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1199156489?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-11 16:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US Daylight Saving Time","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1199156489","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"From 02:00 U.S. East time March 14(this Sunday),the North America region entered daylight saving tim","content":"<p>From&nbsp;02:00&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;East&nbsp;time&nbsp;March&nbsp;14(this&nbsp;Sunday),the&nbsp;North America&nbsp;region&nbsp;entered&nbsp;daylight saving&nbsp;time,until&nbsp;02:00&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;East&nbsp;time&nbsp;ends&nbsp;on&nbsp;November&nbsp;7,2021.</p><p>So,starting&nbsp;on&nbsp;Monday,March&nbsp;14,the&nbsp;U.S.&nbsp;market&nbsp;will&nbsp;open&nbsp;and&nbsp;close&nbsp;one&nbsp;hour&nbsp;ahead&nbsp;of&nbsp;schedule&nbsp;during&nbsp;north&nbsp;american&nbsp;daylight saving time,i.e.,U.S.&nbsp;trading&nbsp;time&nbsp;will&nbsp;be&nbsp;changed&nbsp;to&nbsp;21:30&nbsp;beijing&nbsp;time&nbsp;to&nbsp;04:00&nbsp;a.m.the&nbsp;next&nbsp;day,pre-trade&nbsp;time&nbsp;will&nbsp;be&nbsp;16:00&nbsp;to&nbsp;21:30,after-trade&nbsp;time&nbsp;will&nbsp;be&nbsp;04:00&nbsp;to&nbsp;8:00.</p><p><b>What is daylight saving time?</b></p><p>The DST is the practice of moving clocks forward by one hour during summer months so that daylight lasts longer into evening.

As we all get ready to welcome summer days that more closely resemble our pre-pandemic lives, the markets are rotating away from the growth stocks it favored during lockdowns and quarantines, especially tech shares.</p>\n<p>For instance, the tech-heavy<b>NASDAQ 100</b>index is down more than 4% since the start of May. As a result, many retail investors are wondering which sectors and stocks might be do well in the remaining days of the quarter.</p>\n<p>The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic remains the most crucial market factor. Last year, that meant buying businesses that benefited from trends resulting from the pandemic and the lockdown (such as digitalization, health care, renewable energy or work-from-home). However, many of this year’s leading stocks are those most likely to benefit from a recovering economy and a ‘return to normalcy.’</p>\n<p>With that information, here are seven hot stocks to buy:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Align Technology</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ALGN</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Ford Motor</b>(NYSE:<b><u>F</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Freeport-McMoRan</b>(NYSE:<b><u>FCX</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Hilton Worldwide</b>(NYSE:<b><u>HLT</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Stryker</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SYK</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Take-Two Interactive</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TTWO</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Verizon Communications</b>(NYSE:<b><u>VZ</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Over the past 12 months, investors were able to find quality names at good value. Now, valuation levels are quite stretched. Yet, there are still plenty of robust investment opportunities out there, especially for long-term investors.</p>\n<p><b>Hot stocks to buy:</b>&nbsp;<b><b>Align Technology</b></b><b>(ALGN)</b><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d1e5a088c59cdc7b46f9f8be1a68931e\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p><b>52-week range:</b><b>$</b><b>195.56</b><b>– $</b><b>647.20</b></p>\n<p>Dental device groupAlign Technology is primarily known for its Invisalign system, an alternative to traditional braces to correct malocclusions, or misalignment of the teeth. You might know of this product as invisible dental braces. The company also manufactures scanners and offers computer-aided design (CAD) services to support the customization of these liners.</p>\n<p>Align Technologyreported record-setting first quarter resultson April 28. Total revenue was $894.8 million, up 62.4% year-over-year (YoY). On a non-GAAP basis, first quarter net income was $198.4 million, or $2.49 per diluted share. This represented a 242% increase from $57.9 million, or 73 cents per diluted share, recorded in the prior year quarter.Cash and equivalents stood at $1.1 billion.</p>\n<p>CEO Joe Hogan said:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “It’s remarkable to think about the pace of growth and adoption that we are experiencing worldwide, especially when considering it took 10 years to achieve our one millionth Invisalign patient milestone. Now we are adding one million new Invisalign patients in less than six months.”\n</blockquote>\n<p>The pandemic has meant many individuals had to postpone non-essential dental procedures. As our economy opens up further, more people are likely to start elective dental procedures, such as tooth straightening treatments. Meanwhile, the number of orthodontists and general practitioner dentists using theInvisalign system stateside is on the rise. Therefore, the company is likely to keep growing for many quarters to come. Its market capitalization (cap) stands at $43 billion.</p>\n<p>Year-to-date (YTD), the shares are up 3% and hit a record high in late April. ALGN stock’s forward price-to-earnings (P/E) and price-to-sales (P/S) ratios are 65.36 and 16.88.</p>\n<p>Short-term profit-taking could put pressure on the shares.

Going forward, CFO John Lawler highlighted that semiconductor shortage, exacerbated by a recent fire at a supplier plant in Japan, would likely get worse before bottoming out in Q2.

As we all get ready to welcome summer days that more closely resemble our pre-pandemic lives, the markets are rotating away from the growth stocks it favored during lockdowns and quarantines, especially tech shares.\nFor instance, the tech-heavyNASDAQ 100index is down more than 4% since the start of May. As a result, many retail investors are wondering which sectors and stocks might be do well in the remaining days of the quarter.\nThe ongoing Covid-19 pandemic remains the most crucial market factor. Last year, that meant buying businesses that benefited from trends resulting from the pandemic and the lockdown (such as digitalization, health care, renewable energy or work-from-home). However, many of this year’s leading stocks are those most likely to benefit from a recovering economy and a ‘return to normalcy.’\nWith that information, here are seven hot stocks to buy:\n\nAlign Technology(NASDAQ:ALGN)\nFord Motor(NYSE:F)\nFreeport-McMoRan(NYSE:FCX)\nHilton Worldwide(NYSE:HLT)\nStryker(NYSE:SYK)\nTake-Two Interactive(NASDAQ:TTWO)\nVerizon Communications(NYSE:VZ)\n\nOver the past 12 months, investors were able to find quality names at good value. Now, valuation levels are quite stretched. Yet, there are still plenty of robust investment opportunities out there, especially for long-term investors.\nHot stocks to buy: Align Technology(ALGN)Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com\n52-week range:$195.56– $647.20\nDental device groupAlign Technology is primarily known for its Invisalign system, an alternative to traditional braces to correct malocclusions, or misalignment of the teeth. You might know of this product as invisible dental braces. The company also manufactures scanners and offers computer-aided design (CAD) services to support the customization of these liners.\nAlign Technologyreported record-setting first quarter resultson April 28. Total revenue was $894.8 million, up 62.4% year-over-year (YoY). On a non-GAAP basis, first quarter net income was $198.4 million, or $2.49 per diluted share. This represented a 242% increase from $57.9 million, or 73 cents per diluted share, recorded in the prior year quarter.Cash and equivalents stood at $1.1 billion.\nCEO Joe Hogan said:\n\n “It’s remarkable to think about the pace of growth and adoption that we are experiencing worldwide, especially when considering it took 10 years to achieve our one millionth Invisalign patient milestone. Now we are adding one million new Invisalign patients in less than six months.”\n\nThe pandemic has meant many individuals had to postpone non-essential dental procedures. As our economy opens up further, more people are likely to start elective dental procedures, such as tooth straightening treatments. Meanwhile, the number of orthodontists and general practitioner dentists using theInvisalign system stateside is on the rise. Therefore, the company is likely to keep growing for many quarters to come. Its market capitalization (cap) stands at $43 billion.\nYear-to-date (YTD), the shares are up 3% and hit a record high in late April. ALGN stock’s forward price-to-earnings (P/E) and price-to-sales (P/S) ratios are 65.36 and 16.88.\nShort-term profit-taking could put pressure on the shares. A potential decline toward $520 would improve the margin of safety.\nFord Motor(F)Source: Vitaliy Karimov / Shutterstock.com\n52-week range: $4.52 – $13.62\nLegacy automaker Ford Motorreported first quarter resultsin late April. Revenue increased 6% to $36.2 billion. GAAP net income was $3.3 billion, compared to net loss of $2 billion in the prior year quarter.Adjusted earnings per share came at 89 cents.\nCEO Jim Farley regards the Mustang Mach-E GT as Ford’s first serious push into theelectric vehicle(EV) space. Going forward, CFO John Lawler highlighted that semiconductor shortage, exacerbated by a recent fire at a supplier plant in Japan, would likely get worse before bottoming out in Q2. The auto industry, as well as many other sectors, are under pressure due to the chip shortage worldwide.\nYTD, Ford shares are up over 32%. Forward P/E and P/S ratios stand at 11.76 and 0.37, respectively. Since the earnings report, F stock has come under pressure. Any further decline toward $10 would improve the risk/return profile.\nIn addition to its legacy business, the new decade will likely see Ford gain gain market share in the growing EV industry. Buy-and-hold investor should put the shares on their radar.\nFreeport-McMoRan(FCX)Source: MICHAEL A JACKSON FILMS / Shutterstock.com\n52-week range:$7.80 – $44.50\nNext in line is one of the largest copper miners worldwide, the Phoenix,Arizona-based Freeport-McMoRan. Itssegments include refined copper products, copper in concentrate, gold, molybdenum, oil and other.\nRegularInvestorPlace.comreaders know well how copper has been under the spotlight in recent months. It is a critical commodity, seeing high demand as the economy opens up further. In addition, copper is used in infrastructure projects, such as construction, transportation and electrical networks. This major industrial metal is also used heavily in the transition to renewable energy. And EVs use up to four times more copper than traditional cars.\nFreeport-McMoRanreported first-quarter resultsin late April. Consolidated sales came in at $4.85 billion, a73.3% YoY increase from$2.80 billion in the prior year period. Adjusted net income totaled $756 million, or 51 cents per diluted share. As of March 31, the company had $4.58 billion in cash and equivalents.\nCEO Richard C. Adkerson said:\n\n “We are well positioned for long-term success as a leading producer of copper required for a growing global economy and accelerating demand from copper’s critical role in building infrastructure and the transition to clean energy.”\n\nSince the start of the year, FCX stock has returned over 60%. Forward P/E and P/S ratios are16.98and 3.97, respectively. Copper bulls could look to buy the dips in the shares.\nHilton Worldwide(HLT)Source: josefkubes / Shutterstock.com\n52-week range:$62.47– $132.69\nHilton Worldwide is one of the leading names in theleisure and hotel space, operating more than a million rooms across 18 brands. Needless to say, for over a year, hotel room bookings have taken a beating.\nHampton and Hilton are currently the group’s two largest brands by total room count at 28% and 21%, respectively. For hotels, revenue per available room is the key measure of top-line performance.\nHiltonreported first quarter resultson May 5.Total revenue fell more than 54% to $874 million. Revenue per available room declined about 38% from a year earlier. Net loss was $109 million.\nCEO Christopher J. Nassetta remarked, “While rising COVID-19 cases and tightened travel restrictions, particularly across Europe and our Asia Pacific region, weighed on demand in January and February, we saw meaningful improvement in March and April. We expect this positive momentum to continue as vaccines are more widely distributed and our customers feel safe traveling again.”\nSo far in 2021, HLT stock is up 9%. Forward P/E and P/S ratios are47.85and10.54respectively. Many investors see the shares as a bet on the post-pandemic recovery. Buy-and-hold investors should regard a decline toward the $110 level as an opportune point of entry into the shares.\nStryker (SYK)Source: Shutterstock\n52-week range: $171.75-268.04\nKalamazoo, Michigan-based Stryker manufactures medical equipment, consumable supplies and implantable devices. Its product portfolio includes hip and knee replacements, endoscopy systems, operating room equipment, embolic coils and spinal devices. As for many companies, the pandemic meant a disruption of business.\nStryker releasedQ1 2021 figuresin recent weeks. The company’s top line increased 10.2% YoY to $4 billion. Adjusted diluted EPS was $1.93, a 4.9% YoY increase. Quarter-end cash and equivalents stood at $2.2 billion.\nManagement cited, “As we recover from the pandemic, we continue to expect 2021 organic net sales growth to be in the range of 8% to 10% from 2019, as this is a more normal baseline given the variability throughout 2020, and now expect adjusted net earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $9.05 to $9.30.”\nYTD, Stryker stock has returned about 4% and hit a record high in late April. The current price supports a dividend yield of 0.99%. As life gets back to normal in the coming months, the company should see higher procedure volumes, translating into stronger revenue.\nFurthermore, our country is aging. Thus, its products are likely to be used by more individuals. However, the shares are richly valued. Forward P/Eand P/S ratios are 27.78 and 6.59.\nInterested investors would find better value around $240.\nTake-Two Interactive(TTWO)Source: Thomas Pajot / Shutterstock.com\n52-week range:$124.86– $214.91\nGame publisher Take-Two Interactive markets products through its subsidiaries Rockstar Games and 2K. Its iconic titleGrand Theft Auto V (GTA V) is well-known by players worldwide and brings in a large slice of revenues. Other titles includeNBA 2K,Civilization,Borderlands,Bioshock, andXcom. The video gaming industry has been one of the clear winners during the ‘stay-at-home’ days of the pandemic. Management plans to release new names in the coming quarters.\nIn February, Take-Two Interactivereported strong Q3 results. GAAP net revenue was $860.9 million, as compared to $930.1 million in the prior year quarter. GAAP net income increased 11% to $182.2 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, compared to $163.6 million, or $1.43 per diluted share, a year ago. As of Dec. 31, 2020, the company had cash and short-term investments of $2.42 billion.\nCEO Strauss Zelnick said:\n\n “Due to an incredibly strong holiday season, coupled with our ability to provide consistently the highest quality entertainment experiences, especially as many individuals continue to shelter at home, Take-Two delivered operating results that significantly exceeded our expectations.”\n\nYTD, shares are down around 18%. TTWO stock has given up some of its recent gains after hitting an all-time high in early February. Forward P/E and P/S ratios are 28.33 and 5.95, respectively.\nThe recent pullback offers a good opportunity for long-term investors. Bear in mind the company will report Q4 results on May 18. Interested investors may want to analyze those metrics before buying into the share price.\nVerizon Communications (VZ)Source: Ken Wolter / Shutterstock.com\n52-week range:$52.85 – $61.95\nOur final stock is telecom giantVerizon Communications, which serves around 90.2 million postpaid and 4 million prepaid phone customers. Verizon announcedQ1 figures for 2021at the end of April. Revenue rose by 4% YoY to $32.867 billion. Bottom line growth was much more impressive, with 25.4% YoY increase. Net earnings realized was $5.378 billion. Diluted EPS came at $1.27. A year ago, it had been $1.00. During the quarter, cash flow from operations was $9.7 billion.\nCFO Matt Ellis cited:\n\n “We delivered strong operational and financial performance, giving us positive momentum as we end the first quarter. High quality, sustainable wireless service revenue growth, a recovery in wireless equipment revenues, strong Fios momentum and excellent Verizon Media trends led the way.”\n\nIn December, the shares hit a 52-week high of $61.95. Now, the stock is just shy of $60. The current price supports a dividend yield of 4.2%. VZ stock’sforward P/Eand P/S ratios are 11.67 and 0.47, respectively. Interested investors could consider buying the dips.\nOn the date of publication, Tezcan Gecgil did not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":328,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":348586950,"gmtCreate":1617941599371,"gmtModify":1704705099838,"author":{"id":"3578401675475466","authorId":"3578401675475466","name":"egp","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea2097a2bb202d6059687baec5a24ee8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578401675475466","authorIdStr":"3578401675475466"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment thank you&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment thank you&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment thank you","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/348586950","repostId":"1188479830","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1188479830","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617940248,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1188479830?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-09 11:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Airbus grabbed 72 aircraft deliveries in March in best month YTD","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1188479830","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Airbus (OTCPK:EADSY) reportsdelivering 72 aircraft last monthfor its strongest YTD showing, stepping","content":"<p>Airbus&nbsp;(OTCPK:EADSY)&nbsp;reportsdelivering 72 aircraft last monthfor its strongest YTD showing, stepping up deliveries even as coronavirus flare-upsdelayed a recovery in air travel.</p>\n<p>The company's Q1 total of 125 aircraft edged ahead of the 122 delivered in the year-ago period, largely before the pandemic took hold.</p>\n<p>Airbus reports 39 gross orders but the number of net orders - which are adjusted for cancellations - remained in negative territory for the quarter, with a total of minus 61 net orders.</p>\n<p>The company also logged 28 new jet orders and 8 cancellations in March.</p>\n<p>Given a multi-year order backlog, Airbus says it is more focused on delivering planes to customers than securing new commitments.</p>\n<p>Airbus has fallen behind rival Boeing&nbsp;(NYSE:BA)&nbsp;this year in order flow, a trend that likely continued in March, with the U.S.-based companysecuring a key commitment for 100 of the 737 MAX jets from Southwest Airlines.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Even Jim Cramer has jumped aboard.</p>\n<p>As a contrarian, I’ve been suggesting reopening plays in&nbsp;this column&nbsp;and my stock letter (the link is in the bio below) for upwards of a year. They’ve doubled, or more, in many cases. Now it makes me nervous to see the crowd come in. Often that’s a sign a theme is on its last legs.</p>\n<p>Wait, how could the reopening theme be spent even before reopening happens? That’s easy. Often markets price events in six months in advance.</p>\n<p>But I think this one has more to go for a simple reason. I watch corporate insiders closely, and in the past few weeks they have been huge buyers of quintessential reopening plays in dating, travel and retail.</p>\n<p>Here’s a roundup of the purchases that tell me the theme still has legs. The insider buying also suggests these six stocks could extend their outperformance.</p>\n<p><b>Dating is making a comeback</b></p>\n<p>Millions of people cut back on dating because of fears about contracting Covid-19. That’ll change big time during the reopening, providing a boost to the dating app company Bumble.</p>\n<p>We’re already seeing early signs that singles really want to mingle — and not only in the huge spring break gatherings in Florida. Fourth-quarter revenue at Bumble increased 31% compared to a more sluggish 10% growth for all of 2020, weighed down by peak Covid-19 fears during the second and third quarters. Users paying for premium versions of the service increased 32.5% in the fourth quarter, compared to 22.2% growth for the full year.</p>\n<p>Bumble is a dating app with a twist in that only women can initiate contact after parties both indicate an interest by swiping right on profiles. Premium features on the company’s Bumble and Badoo apps allow users to see who swiped right on them, post more personal information and spotlight profiles. Online dating apps are now the most common way for new couples to meet in the U.S., according to a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS).</p>\n<p>Director Pamela Thomas-Graham bought $498,000 worth of stock at $76.23 in mid-February as Bumble came public, and CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd&nbsp;bought $21 million worth at $43.</p>\n<p><b>Wanderlust returns</b></p>\n<p>I’ve been suggesting Avis Budget Group&nbsp;in my stock letter since it traded at $31 in early October last year. It’s now up 122% to $69, but I recently suggested subscribers should continue holding. Yes, the pandemic crushed rentals. But people really want to get out and travel.

Even Jim Cramer has jumped aboard.\nAs a contrarian, I’ve been suggesting reopening plays in this column and my stock letter (the link is in the bio below) for upwards of a year. They’ve doubled, or more, in many cases. Now it makes me nervous to see the crowd come in. Often that’s a sign a theme is on its last legs.\nWait, how could the reopening theme be spent even before reopening happens? That’s easy. Often markets price events in six months in advance.\nBut I think this one has more to go for a simple reason. I watch corporate insiders closely, and in the past few weeks they have been huge buyers of quintessential reopening plays in dating, travel and retail.\nHere’s a roundup of the purchases that tell me the theme still has legs. The insider buying also suggests these six stocks could extend their outperformance.\nDating is making a comeback\nMillions of people cut back on dating because of fears about contracting Covid-19. That’ll change big time during the reopening, providing a boost to the dating app company Bumble.\nWe’re already seeing early signs that singles really want to mingle — and not only in the huge spring break gatherings in Florida. Fourth-quarter revenue at Bumble increased 31% compared to a more sluggish 10% growth for all of 2020, weighed down by peak Covid-19 fears during the second and third quarters. Users paying for premium versions of the service increased 32.5% in the fourth quarter, compared to 22.2% growth for the full year.\nBumble is a dating app with a twist in that only women can initiate contact after parties both indicate an interest by swiping right on profiles. Premium features on the company’s Bumble and Badoo apps allow users to see who swiped right on them, post more personal information and spotlight profiles. Online dating apps are now the most common way for new couples to meet in the U.S., according to a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS).\nDirector Pamela Thomas-Graham bought $498,000 worth of stock at $76.23 in mid-February as Bumble came public, and CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd bought $21 million worth at $43.\nWanderlust returns\nI’ve been suggesting Avis Budget Group in my stock letter since it traded at $31 in early October last year. It’s now up 122% to $69, but I recently suggested subscribers should continue holding. Yes, the pandemic crushed rentals. But people really want to get out and travel. So business at this company will really pick up this year. Avis, which runs the Budget and Zipcar rental brands, is an air travel play.  It has a huge presence around airports in North America, Europe and Australasia. Avis has more than 10,600 rental locations.\nAvis did a commendable job of reducing costs during the pandemic by cutting its fleet by 19%. So even though revenue fell 41%, it was not a bankruptcy risk.\nThe big buyer who first got me interested in this stock was director Karthik Sarma. His SRS Investment Management bought steadily in size last May-December at $18.57 to $39.20. Avis now represents 11.4% of his portfolio. More recently, CFO Brian Choi took over as the big buyer, purchasing $1.64 million worth of stock at $46-$56 a share in February.

For a data-dependent Fed, the message that the economy is improving much faster than expected is at odds with the message that rates will remain near zero through 2023. How the Federal Open Market Committee, the Fed’s policy arm, tries to square those conflicting dynamics will be in focus as investors take in new economic forecasts, the dot plot showing updated rate predictions, and Chairman Jerome Powell’s press conference.</p>\n<p>“It’s a fine line for them to walk,” says Kathy Bostjancic, chief U.S. financial economist at Oxford Economics, as the bond market prices in more tightening amid improving economic data, Covid-19 vaccinations, and building inflation concerns, while the Fed reiterates its dovish stance. “How do you telegraph patience while conveying you won’t be behind the curve?”</p>\n<p>The rate decision and updated materials will be released this Wednesday at 2 p.m. Eastern time, with Powell’s question-and-answer session following. Here is a run down of what Wall Street is watching.</p>\n<p><b>Updated economic forecasts:</b>In the December Summary of Economic Projections, the FOMC projected 4.2% GDP growth for 2021 and 3.2% for 2022, bringing its inflation expectation to 2% by the end of 2023 and thus implying rates would begin to rise in 2024.</p>\n<p>Aneta Markowska, chief economist at Jefferies, thinks the FOMC will raise GDP forecasts for the next two years to about 6% and 4%, respectively. This should push the unemployment rate below the natural rate (the lowest unemployment rate an economy can sustain with inflation remaining stable) by the second half of 2022, she says, meaning the 2% inflation forecast would be pulled forward to the end of 2022—and the first rate hike therefore pulled forward to 2023. (In December, the Fed projected inflation at a 1.8% rate at the end of this year.)</p>\n<p>Fed officials have expressed comfort in letting inflation run hotter than the 2% target. The question is by how much. Even though the FOMC will likely repeat that the recovery will slow after this year, new forecasts may show inflation of over 2% in both 2022 and 2023 alongside an unemployment rate of 3.5% by the end of 2023, thereby meeting the Fed’s criteria of inflation above 2% and “maximum employment,” says David Kelly, chief global strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds.</p>\n<p>Some economists, however, say the Fed may focus more on a broader unemployment rate, known as the U-6 rate, that includes discouraged workers plus those who are working part time but would prefer to work full time, among others. That would give policy makers more breathing room given how much higher U-6 stands (11.1%) compared with the “official” U-3 rate (6.2%).</p>\n<p>Given the Fed’s new policy framework defines maximum employment as consisting of ‘broad-based and inclusive’ employment, investors looking to handicap the Fed’s next rate move should monitor the U-6 unemployment rate, says Bostjancic of Oxford Economics.</p>\n<p><b>The dot plot:</b>In December, only one of 17 FOMC members submitting forecasts saw a rate hike by the end of 2022 and five saw a rate hike by the end of 2023. While some economists say Fed officials may be wary of lifting their dots, or appearing more hawkish and thereby adding fuel to a surge in long-term interest rates that has been under way, others say the Fed has to show some change in its rate outlook.</p>\n<p>“Given the magnitude of the likely forecast revisions, it would be hard to justify no change in the policy outlook,” says Markowska. “Not doing so would be inconsistent with data-dependency and would strongly suggest that the Fed is calendar dependent (which the Fed insists it isn’t).” At the same time, she says, the Fed hasn’t pushed back against the recent repricing of rate expectations, which is an implicit endorsement of what’s already priced in.</p>\n<p>Bostjancic expects the median forecast to show at least one 0.25% rate hike during 2023, while Markowska thinks the median 2023 dot could rise to 0.375% (she notes only 4 members need to lift their dots—or signal a higher expected Fed funds rate by the end of 2023—to move the median rate projection. The bond market has priced in three quarter-point increases by the end of 2023.</p>\n<p><b>Bond market action:</b>How the Treasury market reacts to the new Fed information will be at least as interesting as the information itself. Instead of the Fed potentially catching up to where the market already is in terms of rate expectations, Bostjancic says even a whiff of the Fed pulling forward rate hike expectations could spur the bond market to price in more tightening.</p>\n<p>Ian Lyngen, head of rates strategy at BMO Capital, says chances are low Powell will meaningfully alter his stance on the recent yield action, maintaining that as long as the move is driven by an improving economic outlook and inflation expectations, the repricing is for the right reasons. “Needless to say, higher yields are good until they are not and it’s just such an inflection point that represents the more significant policy risk for the Fed,” he says.</p>\n<p>Lyngen is watching the 1.64% level on the 10-year (it was last week’s yield peak as well as the highest for the benchmark since early-February 2020) and has a 1.75% target on the note.</p>\n<p><b>SLR exemption extension:</b>Potentially contributing to bond market action on Wednesday will be any signal around the Fed’s plan for a popular program launched last April, as pandemic-driven shutdowns cascaded.</p>\n<p>Wall Street is hoping for an extension of a temporary exemption of Treasuries and bank deposits at the Fed Reserve Banks from the banks’ Supplementary Leverage Ratio, which requires financial institutions hold a minimum ratio of at least 3% in capital measured against their total leverage exposure. The exemption is set to expire at the end of March.</p>\n<p>The exemption’s fate has big implications. Over the past year, banks have increased their purchases of Treasuries by a large $854 billion, while bank reserves have ballooned by $1.8 trillion, Bostjancic notes. Economists say the lack of an extension could significantly lessen banks’ appetite for Treasuries, putting even more upward pressure on yields.</p>\n<p><b>Further easing watch:</b>Wall Street generally doesn’t expect more easing unless yields stage a more disorderly surge and financial conditions meaningfully tighten. For now, the FOMC “is reasonably well positioned to stay the course for the time being,” Lyngen says, “even if such an outcome involves the risk of tacitly endorsing a further Treasury selloff at stage when investors are wary, if not worried.”</p>\n<p>As for potential responses to any disorderly jump in yields, economists say the Fed has a few options. Most immediately, the Fed could opt to lengthen the duration of its current asset purchases, says Bostjancic.

For a data-dependent Fed, the message that the economy is improving much faster than expected is at odds with the message that rates will remain near zero through 2023. How the Federal Open Market Committee, the Fed’s policy arm, tries to square those conflicting dynamics will be in focus as investors take in new economic forecasts, the dot plot showing updated rate predictions, and Chairman Jerome Powell’s press conference.\n“It’s a fine line for them to walk,” says Kathy Bostjancic, chief U.S. financial economist at Oxford Economics, as the bond market prices in more tightening amid improving economic data, Covid-19 vaccinations, and building inflation concerns, while the Fed reiterates its dovish stance. “How do you telegraph patience while conveying you won’t be behind the curve?”\nThe rate decision and updated materials will be released this Wednesday at 2 p.m. Eastern time, with Powell’s question-and-answer session following. Here is a run down of what Wall Street is watching.\nUpdated economic forecasts:In the December Summary of Economic Projections, the FOMC projected 4.2% GDP growth for 2021 and 3.2% for 2022, bringing its inflation expectation to 2% by the end of 2023 and thus implying rates would begin to rise in 2024.\nAneta Markowska, chief economist at Jefferies, thinks the FOMC will raise GDP forecasts for the next two years to about 6% and 4%, respectively. This should push the unemployment rate below the natural rate (the lowest unemployment rate an economy can sustain with inflation remaining stable) by the second half of 2022, she says, meaning the 2% inflation forecast would be pulled forward to the end of 2022—and the first rate hike therefore pulled forward to 2023. (In December, the Fed projected inflation at a 1.8% rate at the end of this year.)\nFed officials have expressed comfort in letting inflation run hotter than the 2% target. The question is by how much. Even though the FOMC will likely repeat that the recovery will slow after this year, new forecasts may show inflation of over 2% in both 2022 and 2023 alongside an unemployment rate of 3.5% by the end of 2023, thereby meeting the Fed’s criteria of inflation above 2% and “maximum employment,” says David Kelly, chief global strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds.\nSome economists, however, say the Fed may focus more on a broader unemployment rate, known as the U-6 rate, that includes discouraged workers plus those who are working part time but would prefer to work full time, among others. That would give policy makers more breathing room given how much higher U-6 stands (11.1%) compared with the “official” U-3 rate (6.2%).\nGiven the Fed’s new policy framework defines maximum employment as consisting of ‘broad-based and inclusive’ employment, investors looking to handicap the Fed’s next rate move should monitor the U-6 unemployment rate, says Bostjancic of Oxford Economics.\nThe dot plot:In December, only one of 17 FOMC members submitting forecasts saw a rate hike by the end of 2022 and five saw a rate hike by the end of 2023. While some economists say Fed officials may be wary of lifting their dots, or appearing more hawkish and thereby adding fuel to a surge in long-term interest rates that has been under way, others say the Fed has to show some change in its rate outlook.\n“Given the magnitude of the likely forecast revisions, it would be hard to justify no change in the policy outlook,” says Markowska. “Not doing so would be inconsistent with data-dependency and would strongly suggest that the Fed is calendar dependent (which the Fed insists it isn’t).” At the same time, she says, the Fed hasn’t pushed back against the recent repricing of rate expectations, which is an implicit endorsement of what’s already priced in.\nBostjancic expects the median forecast to show at least one 0.25% rate hike during 2023, while Markowska thinks the median 2023 dot could rise to 0.375% (she notes only 4 members need to lift their dots—or signal a higher expected Fed funds rate by the end of 2023—to move the median rate projection. The bond market has priced in three quarter-point increases by the end of 2023.\nBond market action:How the Treasury market reacts to the new Fed information will be at least as interesting as the information itself. Instead of the Fed potentially catching up to where the market already is in terms of rate expectations, Bostjancic says even a whiff of the Fed pulling forward rate hike expectations could spur the bond market to price in more tightening.\nIan Lyngen, head of rates strategy at BMO Capital, says chances are low Powell will meaningfully alter his stance on the recent yield action, maintaining that as long as the move is driven by an improving economic outlook and inflation expectations, the repricing is for the right reasons. “Needless to say, higher yields are good until they are not and it’s just such an inflection point that represents the more significant policy risk for the Fed,” he says.\nLyngen is watching the 1.64% level on the 10-year (it was last week’s yield peak as well as the highest for the benchmark since early-February 2020) and has a 1.75% target on the note.\nSLR exemption extension:Potentially contributing to bond market action on Wednesday will be any signal around the Fed’s plan for a popular program launched last April, as pandemic-driven shutdowns cascaded.\nWall Street is hoping for an extension of a temporary exemption of Treasuries and bank deposits at the Fed Reserve Banks from the banks’ Supplementary Leverage Ratio, which requires financial institutions hold a minimum ratio of at least 3% in capital measured against their total leverage exposure. The exemption is set to expire at the end of March.\nThe exemption’s fate has big implications. Over the past year, banks have increased their purchases of Treasuries by a large $854 billion, while bank reserves have ballooned by $1.8 trillion, Bostjancic notes. Economists say the lack of an extension could significantly lessen banks’ appetite for Treasuries, putting even more upward pressure on yields.\nFurther easing watch:Wall Street generally doesn’t expect more easing unless yields stage a more disorderly surge and financial conditions meaningfully tighten. For now, the FOMC “is reasonably well positioned to stay the course for the time being,” Lyngen says, “even if such an outcome involves the risk of tacitly endorsing a further Treasury selloff at stage when investors are wary, if not worried.”\nAs for potential responses to any disorderly jump in yields, economists say the Fed has a few options. Most immediately, the Fed could opt to lengthen the duration of its current asset purchases, says Bostjancic. As of December, the average maturity under the current program was 7.4 years, she says, adding that policy makers could start buying 10- to 30-year Treasuries. Doing so would effectively be one part of a new “operation twist,” with the other leg involving the sale of short-date Treasury bills, Bostjancic says.\nIf financial conditions tighten much more sharply and buying further out on the yield curve proves insufficient, Bostjancic and others say the Fed could attempt yield curve control.\nYCC, undertaken by the Fed after World War II, the Bank of Japan in 2016, and the Reserve Bank of Australia in 2020, aims to control interest rates along some portion of the yield curve, targeting longer-term rates directly by imposing interest rate caps on particular maturities.As economists at the St. Louis Fed put it, because bond prices and yields are inversely related, this also implies a price floor for targeted maturities: if bond prices (yields) of targeted maturities remain above (below) the floor, the central bank does nothing. But if prices fall (rise) below (above) the floor, the central bank buys targeted-maturity bonds—increasing the demand and thus the price of those bonds.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":303,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":351191047,"gmtCreate":1616572181889,"gmtModify":1704795803972,"author":{"id":"3578401675475466","authorId":"3578401675475466","name":"egp","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea2097a2bb202d6059687baec5a24ee8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578401675475466","authorIdStr":"3578401675475466"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice&nbsp;","listText":"Nice&nbsp;","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/351191047","repostId":"2121931453","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2121931453","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616562397,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2121931453?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-24 13:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Intel CEO Charts Comeback on Foundry Model TSMC Mastered","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2121931453","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- Intel Corp. unveiled a grand plan Tuesday to restore its past chipmaking glory.

And there are at least two new factories being built for the effort.“Our past attempts were somewhat half-hearted,” Gelsinger said. “Customers will get the best we’ve got to offer.”\nNew Intel CEO May Drive Improved EPS, Valuation: Company OutlookTo make his goals clear internally, Gelsinger has set up a separate division called Intel Foundry Services that will report its own financial performance and therefore have to align itself with customers’ interests to guarantee it meets targets.“If he’s really dedicated to the benefits he’s touting today, then this will put Intel on a much more competitive footing,” Loop Capital Markets analyst Cody Acree said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. “You are going to get this honeymoon period that Mr. Gelsinger is in today where people are looking for the changes, looking for optimism, anything to hang onto with Intel. That’s the right thing to do. But it’s also pretty shortlived.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":302,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":328215031,"gmtCreate":1615529294123,"gmtModify":1704784145230,"author":{"id":"3578401675475466","authorId":"3578401675475466","name":"egp","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea2097a2bb202d6059687baec5a24ee8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578401675475466","authorIdStr":"3578401675475466"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"That's great&nbsp;","listText":"That's great&nbsp;","text":"That's great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/328215031","repostId":"1144029837","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1144029837","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1615513990,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1144029837?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-12 09:53","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"The Nasdaq's Back, and These 3 Stocks Are Flying High Again","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1144029837","media":"Nasdaq","summary":"The stock market has been going through a lot of volatility lately, and theNasdaq Composite(NASDAQIN","content":"<p>The stock market has been going through a lot of volatility lately, and the<b>Nasdaq Composite</b>(NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC)has found itself on the short end of the stick.

Instead of buying a company that's hanging on by a thread, I'd encourage you to consider purchasing the following three game-changing stocks, all of which have the tools to make you rich.</p>\n<p><b>Ping Identity</b></p>\n<p>Though there are a number of trends that offer double-digit growth potential this decade,cybersecurity might be the safest of the bunch. As more businesses push online and move their data (and that of their customers) onto the cloud, the onus of protecting this data is increasingly going to fall on third-party providers. That's where<b>Ping Identity Holding</b>(NYSE:PING)comes in.</p>\n<p>Whereas most security companies excelled during the pandemic, identity verification specialist Ping Identitystruggled a bit. Full-year sales were essentially flat, with a number of clients opting for one-year subscriptions instead of multiyear plans. But there's plenty of reason to believe that this weakness was pandemic-related and only temporary.</p>\n<p>Even though total sales were flat, the company's focus on subscription services helped boost annual recurring revenue (ARR) by 15% to $259.1 million. Ping also ended the year with 51 customers generating in excess of $1 million in ARR, which is up from 38 clients at the end of 2019. The company is clearly capable of scaling up its services with larger clients, and touts that its services are protecting 60% of Fortune 100 companies.</p>\n<p>What's more, 92% of its fourth-quarter sales were derived from subscriptions, and its subscription gross margin stood at 86% in that quarter of 2020. Even if its ARR growth were to motor along at, say, 15% for the next half-decade, it'd be pretty hard to overlook the cash flow potential when the company's subscriptions are generating 86% gross margin.</p>\n<p>Ping Identity is alsovery reasonably priced. Whereas most cybersecurity stocks are valued at 20 times sales or higher, Ping can be scooped up for around 7 times forecast sales in 2021. It just might be the best value among cybersecurity stocks.</p>\n<p><b>Cresco Labs</b></p>\n<p>Marijuana stocksshould be big-time winners throughout the decade, regardless of what happens with cannabis' classification in Washington. Operating in the most lucrative market in the world, the U.S., multistate operator (MSO)<b>Cresco Labs</b>(OTC:CRLBF)has the potential to make investors rich.</p>\n<p>As with most MSOs, Cresco's success will depend somewhat on its retail presence. The company entered the year with only 20 open dispensaries, but has been leaning on acquisitions to expand. Closing the Verdant Creations deal maximized its presence in Ohio, while the pending<b>Bluma Wellness</b>buyout will give the company a healthy presence in medical-marijuana-legal Florida.</p>\n<p>Yet what's interesting about Cresco Labs is that its retail game planmostly revolves around limited-license states. In particular, over 60% of its open locations are in states where the number of retail licenses is capped by regulators. Pushing into states with caps on dispensary licenses is a smart way for Cresco to build up its brand while facing minimal competition.</p>\n<p>However, thebigger growth driver for the companyis likely to be its wholesale operations. Even though wholesale cannabis offers lower margins than retail, Cresco has more than enough volume to overlook any margin differences. That's because it holds one of the highly coveted cannabis distribution licenses in California, which allows the company to place proprietary and third-party products into more than 575 dispensaries throughout the Golden State.</p>\n<p>With Cresco's projected growth surpassing many of its peers, it has a good chance to put some serious green into the pockets of its shareholders.</p>\n<p><b>Intuitive Surgical</b></p>\n<p>Lastly, investors should forget all about AMC Entertainment andbuy into a real game-changerin the healthcare sector,<b>Intuitive Surgical</b>(NASDAQ:ISRG).</p>\n<p>Intuitive Surgical is best known for its robotic-assisted surgical system, the da Vinci, which allows surgeons to make precise incisions that can reduce scarring and shorten hospital stays. For insurers, it can lead to higher up-front costs, but reduce extended hospital stays that can prove even costlier.</p>\n<p>The da Vinci system is the unquestioned leader in robotic-assisted surgery. Intuitive has placed close to 6,000 of its machines worldwide since 2000, which is more than all of the company's competitors combined. The company has been able to build priceless rapport with surgeons in hospitals and surgical centers, which makes ithighly unlikelythat we'll see its clients switch to a competing system.</p>\n<p>But it's not just the company's overwhelming competitive edge that makes it such an attractive stock. Its operating model isdesigned to grow more efficient over time. As more da Vinci systems are installed, a higher percentage of sales will be derived from segments with juicier margins, such as instruments and accessories sold with each procedure, as well as system servicing.</p>\n<p>Intuitive Surgical is just beginning to realize its opportunity with its innovative soft-tissue surgical solutions. Expect the da Vinci to pick up significant market share in thoracic, colorectal, and general soft-tissue procedures throughout the decade.</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>Forget AMC Entertainment: These Stocks Will Make You Rich</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\">\nForget AMC Entertainment: These Stocks Will Make You Rich\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-19 19:16 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/19/forget-amc-entertainment-these-stock-make-you-rich/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>These innovative companies should run circles around Reddit darling AMC.\n\nOver the past two months, Wall Street has watched a new phenomenon take shape:the Reddit frenzy.\nRetail investors on Reddit's ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/19/forget-amc-entertainment-these-stock-make-you-rich/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PING":"Ping Identity Holding","CRLBF":"Cresco Labs Inc.","ISRG":"直觉外科公司"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/19/forget-amc-entertainment-these-stock-make-you-rich/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1177407243","content_text":"These innovative companies should run circles around Reddit darling AMC.\n\nOver the past two months, Wall Street has watched a new phenomenon take shape:the Reddit frenzy.\nRetail investors on Reddit's WallStreetBets (WSB) chat room have essentially banded together to buy shares andout-of-the-money call optionson stocks with high levels of short interest.

Here are four solid stocks you can own to allay those fears.</p>\n<p>The past year has been a wild one. The coronavirus pandemic dramatically impacted our lives, bringing with it a drastic increase in fiscal spending. Since last March, Congress passed the $2.2 trillion CARES Act; an additional $900 billion of relief aid in December; and most recently the American Rescue Plan, totaling another $1.9 trillion in stimulus.</p>\n<p>This massive fiscal spending has some market watchers concerned about inflation. In January, Fannie Mae warned about the potential effects inflation could have on the economy in 2021 and beyond, and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and former International Monetary Fund Chief Economist Olivier Blanchard have expressed concerns as well.</p>\n<p>When inflation becomes a problem, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> way the Federal Reserve responds is by raising interest rates to cool down the economy -- and some companies can weather a higher-interest rate environment better than others. Because inflation is hard to predict, it is important to focus on well-run companies that navigated the global pandemic well and would also perform well with rising interest rates. Here are four great companies for you to consider.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/de2458f247b63c18b8d7a45c13afe2e4\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"525\"><span>Image Source: Getty Images</span></p>\n<p><b>1. U.S. Bancorp</b></p>\n<p>One industry that benefits from rising interest rates is banks. That's because banks make money off the net interest spread -- the difference between interest rates on deposits and interest rates the bank can receive in the open market.</p>\n<p><b>U.S. Bancorp</b> (NYSE:USB) is one of the best-run banks in the U.S., but it struggled in 2020, along with many of its peers, due in part to a lack of investment banking operations. The bank should benefit from the economy reopening, though, giving management optimism about loan growth during the year. It's also optimistic about an upturn in corporate activity, which should spur corporate loan growth, as well as increased credit card spending by consumers.</p>\n<p>Investors have typically paid a premium for U.S. Bancorp. Over the past 10 years, the bank's ratio of price to tangible book value (P/TBV) has averaged 2.5. At its current P/TBV of 2.4, the bank looks cheap, especially when you consider that it outperformed many banking peers across key metrics in 2020. The company has billions of dollars in capital above regulatory requirements, which puts it in prime position to benefit from the economic reopening.</p>\n<p><b>2. Glacier Bancorp</b></p>\n<p><b>Glacier Bancorp</b> (NASDAQ:GBCI) is a regional bank with a footprint in the Rocky Mountain and Southwest regions of the United States. It's positioned in the four fastest-growing states in the U.S. in 2020 -- Idaho, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. As it expands its footprint in the region, this is another bank sure to benefit from higher interest rates.</p>\n<p>The bank benefited from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) in 2020, and should continue to reap rewards in the first two quarters of this year as the SBA forgives more of these loans. Glacier's PPP participation generated $93.4 million in fees and interest revenue, and record mortgage production helped the bank see another $99.5 million in revenue from gain on sale of loans. As a result, Glacier generated a record income of $266 million in 2020, and has put these added funds to work. The bank has been able to utilize these funds to purchase debt securities, while cautiously keeping an eye out for rising interest rates. Management is prepared to put more of its capital to work as yields improve, making it another solid choice if inflation were to pick up meaningfully.</p>\n<p><b>3.

Here are four solid stocks you can own to allay those fears.\nThe past year has been a wild one. The coronavirus pandemic dramatically impacted our lives, bringing with it a drastic increase in fiscal spending. Since last March, Congress passed the $2.2 trillion CARES Act; an additional $900 billion of relief aid in December; and most recently the American Rescue Plan, totaling another $1.9 trillion in stimulus.\nThis massive fiscal spending has some market watchers concerned about inflation. In January, Fannie Mae warned about the potential effects inflation could have on the economy in 2021 and beyond, and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and former International Monetary Fund Chief Economist Olivier Blanchard have expressed concerns as well.\nWhen inflation becomes a problem, one way the Federal Reserve responds is by raising interest rates to cool down the economy -- and some companies can weather a higher-interest rate environment better than others. Because inflation is hard to predict, it is important to focus on well-run companies that navigated the global pandemic well and would also perform well with rising interest rates. Here are four great companies for you to consider.\nImage Source: Getty Images\n1. U.S. Bancorp\nOne industry that benefits from rising interest rates is banks. That's because banks make money off the net interest spread -- the difference between interest rates on deposits and interest rates the bank can receive in the open market.\nU.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) is one of the best-run banks in the U.S., but it struggled in 2020, along with many of its peers, due in part to a lack of investment banking operations. The bank should benefit from the economy reopening, though, giving management optimism about loan growth during the year. It's also optimistic about an upturn in corporate activity, which should spur corporate loan growth, as well as increased credit card spending by consumers.\nInvestors have typically paid a premium for U.S. Bancorp. Over the past 10 years, the bank's ratio of price to tangible book value (P/TBV) has averaged 2.5. At its current P/TBV of 2.4, the bank looks cheap, especially when you consider that it outperformed many banking peers across key metrics in 2020. The company has billions of dollars in capital above regulatory requirements, which puts it in prime position to benefit from the economic reopening.\n2. Glacier Bancorp\nGlacier Bancorp (NASDAQ:GBCI) is a regional bank with a footprint in the Rocky Mountain and Southwest regions of the United States. It's positioned in the four fastest-growing states in the U.S. in 2020 -- Idaho, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. As it expands its footprint in the region, this is another bank sure to benefit from higher interest rates.\nThe bank benefited from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) in 2020, and should continue to reap rewards in the first two quarters of this year as the SBA forgives more of these loans. Glacier's PPP participation generated $93.4 million in fees and interest revenue, and record mortgage production helped the bank see another $99.5 million in revenue from gain on sale of loans. As a result, Glacier generated a record income of $266 million in 2020, and has put these added funds to work. The bank has been able to utilize these funds to purchase debt securities, while cautiously keeping an eye out for rising interest rates. Management is prepared to put more of its capital to work as yields improve, making it another solid choice if inflation were to pick up meaningfully.\n3. Progressive\nInsurance is another industry that benefits from rising interest rates. That's because insurance companies invest excess capital from their usual underwriting activity to generate interest income, which can help boost their top and bottom lines.\nProgressive (NYSE:PGR) is one of the best in the game. While Progressive is less reliant on investment income than competitors, it would still welcome a rising-interest rate environment.  That's because the company has a $43.3 billion investment portfolio, which generated 2.2% of total revenue in 2020. The portfolio would likely provide a bigger boost as interest rates rise.\nBest of all, the insurer has posted stellar growth rates for a decade now. Since 2010, Progressive has grown its earned premiums at an annual rate of 10.4%, which helped net income grow annually at 18.2%. The company also posted stellar results in 2020, growing premiums earned by 8.5% while net income grew 43.7%. It also had another great year managing risk, posting a combined ratio -- a measure of an insurer's profitability -- of 87.7% during the year. A ratio under 100% indicates the insurer is writing profitable policies.\nThe company is well-known for its investments in telematics, meaning its logging of driver information to help it write better policies. Its leadership in this space, combined with its stellar underwriting standards and its position to take advantage of higher interest rates, is why this insurer is another solid option.\n4. Chubb\nChubb (NYSE:CB) is another company in the insurance industry that would benefit as rates increase. Chubb is more reliant on investment income than Progressive, since it makes up 9.4% of its total revenue.\nChubb, the world's largest property and casualty insurer, was hurt in 2020 by the global pandemic, wildfires, flooding, and civil unrest. The company navigated a hardening insurance market in 2021, which saw insurers pay increased payouts and raise premiums in response. Its strong capital position puts it in place to take advantage of a favorable market for insurers in 2021. Another plus is that it's a Dividend Aristocrat, having increased its dividend payout 26 years in a row, and yields nearly 1.8% while achieving an easily managed payout ratio of 39.3%.\nStay the course\nWe can't know if or when inflation will pick up in the near future. All we can do is stay the course and have some exposure to those companies that would benefit from an inflationary environment, and thus a rising-interest rate environment. The four companies above are all well-run companies that look to post strong performances in 2021, and would benefit from a higher interest rate to boot.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":220,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":328214180,"gmtCreate":1615529422040,"gmtModify":1704784146850,"author":{"id":"3578401675475466","authorId":"3578401675475466","name":"egp","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea2097a2bb202d6059687baec5a24ee8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578401675475466","authorIdStr":"3578401675475466"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hkd&nbsp;","listText":"Hkd&nbsp;","text":"Hkd","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/328214180","repostId":"2118242934","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2118242934","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1615508666,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2118242934?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-12 08:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Baidu seeks up to $4.8 billion in Hong Kong second listing","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2118242934","media":"The Straits Times","summary":"HONG KONG (BLOOMBERG) - Search engine giant Baidu is seeking to raise as much as HK$28 billion (S$4.","content":"<div>\n<p>HONG KONG (BLOOMBERG) - Search engine giant Baidu is seeking to raise as much as HK$28 billion (S$4.8 billion) in a second listing in Hong Kong, kicking off the second such share sale by a US-traded ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.straitstimes.com/business/companies-markets/baidu-seeks-up-to-48-billion-in-hong-kong-second-listing\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"straits_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

That price represents a 19 per cent premium to Baidu's Wednesday closing price in New York. Baidu rose 6.8 per cent on Thursday.\nBaidu aims to set the final price before the US market open on March 17 and start trading in Hong Kong on March 23. At US$3.6 billion (S$4.8 billion), it would be the biggest so-called homecoming listing of a US-traded Chinese company in Hong Kong since JD.com's June 2020 offering, which raised US$4.5 billion.\nBaidu follows online car-sales website Autohome in seeking a trading foothold in the Asian financial hub this year, after a wave of such share sales in 2020 which saw some US$17 billion raised. Other companies looking at selling shares in the city include Tencent Music Entertainment Group and video company Bilibili.\nAutohome raised US$688 million after pricing its Hong Kong share sale at about a 5.5 per cent discount to its last closing price in New York on Monday.\nA growing cohort of US-traded Chinese firms have been listing in Hong Kong amid deteriorating relations between the world's two biggest economies. The second listings enable the companies to expand their investor bases closer to their home markets.\nThe trend has boosted the listing volumes of Hong Kong's bourse, which now has a growing contingent of tech companies listed there. The city has had a bumper start to the year for initial public offerings, such as video startup Kuaishou Technology's US$6.2 billion debut in February. The Chinese company's shares are trading 168 per cent above their offering price.\nOnce one of China's tech leaders, Baidu is now playing catch-up as the country's internet users increasingly shift from desktop to mobile.
