$IREIT Global SGD(UD1U.SI)$ One of the worst performance reit...[Spurting] Given up on DCA for now.

you can add some if you currently do not have any in UOB. if you already have UOB, wait and see if the price will drop below 27//@BotakGuy:$UNITED OVERSEAS BANK LIMITED(U11.SI)$ Is UOB good to buy at current prices ? Dividend less than 5% or wait ?

I lost quite a bit with prime us reit. think at least 8 times your amount despite very small position 😕. I will just let it rot and see whether it will go up few years down the road or just write off the Investment. it is safer to Invest in s-reit than us reit

@dimzy:Basically the market priced the stock at ~ cash on hand at the time of closing, considered the JNCE IP to be worthless, and therefore CVR to be distributed to existing shareholders tied to certain clinical stage IP to be worthless? Gilead could pick up the remaining trial drugs for a song?JNCE isn't a highly followed stock. Once more people see this news, we'll move higher. Should be a healthy jump tomorrow.$Jounce Therapeutics Inc.(JNCE)$

@AfraSimon:$Walt Disney(DIS)$ Once again, Disney is a great buying opportunity. The parks are full! The stock will be back to $120, nothing has fundamentally changed since it was at 120 a few weeks ago.Is Disney a safe stock? Let's see, survived 100 years. A great depression, a world war, countless other wars, civil unrest, a pandemic, several recessions and market crashes, a few bad managers, and some poor choices of content. Will they survive? Yes, I think so. Actually now is when you need to buy stock in quality. Disney is Quality, investment grade.

book to a record-high of S$22.2 billion.</p><p>The group’s latest earnings report was also encouraging, with 1H2022 revenue increasing by 17% year on year to S$4.3 billion.</p><p>Stripping out the effects of one-off expenses and government support, operating profit would have surged by 45% year on year to S$333 million.</p><p>STE enjoyed a strong boost to its commercial aerospace business by chalking up a 25% year on year revenue growth in 2Q2022 as borders reopened.</p><p>With air travel booming, the group should see this division clinch more contracts in time to come.</p><p>STE also recently secured a S$1.4 billion turnkey rail contract for a new MRT line in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.</p><p>This contract will commence later this year and run for 10 years.</p><p>Meanwhile, CEO Vincent Chong remains confident that STE’s TransCore acquisition will accelerate the growth of the group’s smart city division.</p><p>With its divisions firing on all cylinders, investors should expect the group’s order book to grow more in the coming quarters.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1602567310727","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"

group that serves the aerospace, smart city, and public security sectors.The group has enjoyed steady business growth as it snags contracts to build up its order book.For the second quarter of 2022 (2Q2022), STE clinched S$3.1 billion of new contracts, taking its order book to a record-high of S$22.2 billion.The group’s latest earnings report was also encouraging, with 1H2022 revenue increasing by 17% year on year to S$4.3 billion.Stripping out the effects of one-off expenses and government support, operating profit would have surged by 45% year on year to S$333 million.STE enjoyed a strong boost to its commercial aerospace business by chalking up a 25% year on year revenue growth in 2Q2022 as borders reopened.With air travel booming, the group should see this division clinch more contracts in time to come.STE also recently secured a S$1.4 billion turnkey rail contract for a new MRT line in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.This contract will commence later this year and run for 10 years.Meanwhile, CEO Vincent Chong remains confident that STE’s TransCore acquisition will accelerate the growth of the group’s smart city division.With its divisions firing on all cylinders, investors should expect the group’s order book to grow more in the coming quarters.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":289,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":174327023,"gmtCreate":1627081440762,"gmtModify":1703483781887,"author":{"id":"3578630064980119","authorId":"3578630064980119","name":"BGTAN","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ca7305b1f6bd1d4dd9abf3c54e6fbdb","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578630064980119","authorIdStr":"3578630064980119"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like

Investors awarded the stock with an intraday rally of as much as 6% to a high of close to $166 (April 29th) immediately following release of Apple&#39;s blockbuster results.</p><p>However, persistent market jitters in the days leading up to the May FOMC meeting reversed the earnings beat rally as the stock plunged towards the $150-level. Then, the stock recovered slightly on improved market sentiment following last Wednesday&#39;s (May 4th) Fed decision on a 50 bps rate increase and release of commentary regarding policy tightening plans in coming months. But it lost momentum and slid again alongside broad-based market declines as market participants braced for the &#34;cold reality of tightening financial conditions&#34; that face rising threats of a looming recession.</p><p>Despite current market woes, Apple remains the &#34;single member of the [FAANG] group that is still outperforming the S&amp;P 500&#34; this year. This, again, corroborates investors&#39; debate between prizing the stock for consistent demonstration of fundamental strength and paring valuation premiums on &#34;fears of an economic slowdown&#34;.</p><p>It is true that Apple is not without downside risks. The underlying business remains at the forefront of exposure to protracted industry-wide chip supply shortages and other supply chain constraints that have been compounded by the latest COVID-related lockdowns in China. The challenges are weighing on consumer spending levels in Apple&#39;s Chinese market, and adding fuel to an inflationary environment around raw material, labour and freight costs that risk margin contraction. Management has quantified the estimated impact at $4 billion to $8 billion in the current quarter, with some expected to be recapturable in later quarters, and others foregone permanently. Apple has also highlighted impacts pertaining to its recently pullout from the Russian market following the country&#39;s instigation of war against Ukraine.</p><p>But Apple&#39;s ability to keep wowing investors with stronger-than-expected growth despite a quarter &#34;blighted by Ukraine war, spiking inflation and China&#39;s COVID Zero lockdowns&#34; is what makes the results all the more impressive. And new product and segment launches that await over the coming months and years bolster further expansion of its total addressable market (&#34;TAM&#34;) and reach into installed users&#39; pockets over the longer-term, underscoring greater valuation prospects ahead for the stock.</p><p>The company&#39;s yearslong effort in bringing its strong net cash position down to neutral through attractive shareholder returns in the form of buybacks and dividends is also a &#34;nice struggle&#34; to have. Apple&#39;s strong balance sheet, which provides insulation from rising borrowing costs and sufficient dry powder to fund additional growth in coming years, makes it a safe investment pick in the face of tightening financial conditions. Despite the near-term challenges, Apple remains one of the most attractive investments with remarkable fundamental performance that continues to outshine peers in today&#39;s macro climate.</p><p><b>What is Apple&#39;s Long-Term Outlook? Here&#39;s What Apple&#39;s FY/2Q22 Earnings Beat Suggests:</b></p><p>Apple&#39;s March-quarter results exceeded expectations across the board, including its iPad segment which posted a year-on-year sales decline due to supply constraints. The company generated total revenue of $97.3 billion in the period (+8.6% y/y; -22% q/q), topping consensus estimate of $94 billion (+5% y/y; -24% q/q). Net income came in at $1.52 per share, exceeding the average analyst estimate of $1.42.</p><p>And for the current quarter, management expects the strong showing in its Services segment to continue, which makes sense given its reduced exposure to current supply chain challenges. The anticipated shift in sales mix to higher-margin Services is expected to offset some of increases to product costs in the current inflationary environment. Despite current macro challenges, company has guided gross margin of 42% to 43%, which is still among the best over the past 10 years. And as supply constraints ease over the longer-term with increasing efforts in &#34;accelerating the in-sourcing of key components such as processors, sensors, displays, batteries and cameras&#34;, the company is well-positioned for sustained margin improvements ahead.</p><p><b>iPhone</b></p><p>iPhone sales continued to account for the bulk of the company&#39;s consolidated topline, generating $50.6 billion in revenues (+5% y/y; -29% q/q), which also exceeded the average estimate of $49.2 billion (+3% y/y; -31% q/q). The segment&#39;s outperformance underscored robust demand for the latest 5G-enabled iPhone 13 and iPhone SE devices, despite acute supply constraints and a tough prior year compare which overlapped a late-year iPhone launch timing.</p><p>The upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference (&#34;WWDC&#34;) in June, Apple&#39;s annual keynote event, is also expected to bolster the company&#39;s iPhone sales in the latter half of both the fiscal and calendar year. All eyes are on the iPhone 14 launch expected for later this year. Based on Apple&#39;s &#34;three-year cycle for new hardware designs&#34; observed for the iPhone in recent years, the iPhone 14 will likely retain the exterior design of the iPhone 13 which debuted with the iPhone 12.</p><p>Because larger models typically garner greater demand than the smaller models, there is speculation that Apple will &#34;rethink&#34; its iPhone line-up. It is likely that Apple will offer a 6.7&#34; screen option for a non-Pro model for the first time starting with the iPhone 14, which is expected to capture better customer reception given greater affordability compared to Pro models. If Apple does proceed with such plans, it is also expected to cushion some of the impact from slowing consumer spending in China at the moment given its contracting economy - the max-sized models are particularly popular in region, so offering a more affordable non-Pro option will likely improve Apple&#39;s reach into Chinese consumers&#39; wallets.</p><p>Further improvements to the camera and processing power / performance on the iPhone 14 is also expected to encourage greater upgrades and switches, and buoy continued iPhone segment growth. The iPhone 14 Pro line-up is expected to feature a &#34;new 48-megapixel sensor for the wide-angle camera…[and] get Apple&#39;s new A16 chip&#34;. With more than a quarter of Apple&#39;s iPhone installed base being older than 3.5 years (circa iPhone 8 and iPhone X - I personally still use the iPhone 7 which is considered &#34;vintage&#34; by some of my peers&#34;), the upcoming iPhone 14 upgrades will be hard to resist.</p><p><b>Mac</b></p><p>The Mac also &#34;continued its resurgence&#34;, posting strong double-digit year-on-year growth for the seventh quarter in the past two years with March-quarter sales totalling $10.4 billion (+15% y/y; -4% q/q). The combination of robust demand and supply constraints have now pushed wait times for some of the highly coveted computing devices out to June. And Apple&#39;s transition to its in-house designed silicon has a significant role to play in restoring favourable growth trends observed in recent quarters.</p><p>The M1 Ultra, which powers the Mac Studio desktop, is now the &#34;world&#39;s most powerful chip for PC&#34;. It enables 7x faster performance than its predecessor, drawing favourable demand from creative professionals spanning app developers to video creators looking for computing power that can handle demanding workloads without compromising performance. The reimagined M1 Pro- / Max-powered MacBook Pro has also been a hit.</p><p>With Apple silicon consistently proving quality and performance for the Mac line-up, the company has rapidly rose to the top spot by market share in PC sales. Macs represented 18.8% of total PC shipments in the March-quarter, beating long-time industry leader Dell (DELL) and HPE (HPE). Close to half of Mac buyers in the March-quarter noted they were new to the product, underscoring Apple&#39;s continued market share gains.</p><p><b>iPad</b></p><p>On the iPad front, heightened supply constraints have continued to weigh on sales despite robust demand. iPad sales generated $7.7 billion (-2% y/y; +5% q/q) in revenues in the March-quarter, which still topped average analyst estimates. The segment&#39;s installed base reached a record high, with more than half of iPad customers indicating they were new to the device. The all-new M1-powered iPad Air, which includes 5G support, was also well-received. Despite declining March-quarter iPad sales due to supply constraints, Apple led tablet market sales in the period and grabbed close to 40% of market share, beating rival and runner-up Samsung&#39;s 20.4% by wide margins.</p><p>The iPad remains a market favourite despite softening consumer demand. The rapid transition to remote collaboration in the post-pandemic era has marked an inflection point for adoption of multi-purpose tablets. In addition to robust demand from the retail market, Apple&#39;s iPads have also been in high demand within the commercial sector. During the March-quarter, Apple iPad Pros were procured by Alaska Airlines (ALK) to replace its legacy check-in kiosks, thanks to the portable device&#39;s seamless integration into the airline&#39;s existing operations. With rising deployment of tablet devices in the commercial sector to accommodate rapid digital transformation trends and remote working demands in the post-pandemic era, continued innovation empowered by Apple silicon is expected to drive higher growth for the less-lucrative iPad segment once supply headwinds subside.</p><p><b>Wearables, Home and Accessories</b></p><p>The Wearables, Home and Accessories segment also pulled through with strong double-digit growth in the quarter. Related revenues totalled $8.8 billion (+12% y/y; -40% q/q), consistent with consensus expectations. The category continues to benefit from strong Apple Watch demand driven by increasing consumer preference and attention to health and fitness.</p><p>The company has been ramping up investments into developing new technology offerings for the wearable product to address increasing user demand for health features, including the &#34;highly anticipated blood-pressure monitor&#34; that is expected to debut in 2024, a body-temperature sensor, as well as a &#34;non-invasive blood sugar monitor&#34;. The upcoming watchOS 9 software update debuting in June is also expected to include improvements to the smartwatch&#39;s heart rate monitor, a &#34;new low-power mode that is designed to let its smartwatch run some apps…without using as much battery life&#34;, and additional &#34;workout types and metrics…within the Workout app on the watch&#34;. And later this year, Apple is expected to unveil up to three new Apple Watches that include the highly anticipated Series 8 model, an affordable SE model, and an upscale option with &#34;rugged casing that is aimed at extreme athletes&#34;. The new developments to both software and hardware features are expected to reinforce the segment&#39;s growth prospects by extending its reach to new users while also expanding Apple&#39;s TAM for wearable technology.</p><p><b>Services</b></p><p>Services was a particular bright spot for Apple in the March-quarter. The segment - which houses sales related to Apple Care, App Store, payments, ads, and other subscription services like Apple TV+ and Apple Music - generated revenues of $19.8 billion (+17% y/y; +2% q/q) in the period, which were &#34;slightly above projections&#34;. Apple added more than 165 million net new subscriptions in the past 12 months, bringing its total paid user base for Services to 825 million. And with accelerating penetration into the commercial sector, alongside rapid consumer adoption of Apple media and entertainment subscription services bolstered by its convenient and accessible hardware-service ecosystem, the company has guided double-digit growth again for the current quarter.</p><p><b>Apple TV+:</b> Despite increasing competition within the segment, as evidenced in the hardships experienced by industry leader Netflix (NFLX) in retaining market share over recent months, Apple TV+ continued to deliver on upbeat results, buoyed by positive viewer response to original productions that include &#34;Severance&#34;, &#34;Ted Lasso&#34; and &#34;CODA&#34;, which became the first streaming service to win an Oscar for Best Picture.</p><p>While Apple TV+&#39;s market share of global streaming services remains comparatively nominal when put against rivals like Netflix, HBO Max (WBD), and Disney+ (DIS), the convenient ecosystem Apple maintains to enable easy access remains a strong competitive advantage in driving further share gains in coming years. Apple is well-positioned to benefit from favourable streaming uptake trends ahead with the &#34;seamless integration of hardware, software and services at the center of [its] work and philosophy&#34;. Total consumer spending on entertainment and media is expected to advance at a compounded annual growth rate (&#34;CAGR&#34;) of 3.9% into a $915 billion market of its own by mid-decade. And much of this acceleration will be driven by demand for video streaming services, which is expected to expand at a CAGR of more than 18% over the next five years and blossom into a $190 billion opportunity. As Apple continues to encourage sign-ups with competitively priced offerings like Apple Bundle and engaging content, Apple TV+ has potential for acceleration over the longer-term and further bolster Services growth.</p><p><b>Commercial Services:</b> The company&#39;s increasing penetration into commercial markets with the latest launch of &#34;Apple Business Essentials&#34; also drives greater market share expansion and growth for its Services segment in coming years. The new service offering targeting small- and medium-sized businesses (&#34;SMBs&#34;) pairs well with already-strong uptake rates of Apple devices across the industry, and remains a prudent strategy for driving greater adjacent revenue growth in the Services segment. Apple Business Essentials combines all device management services spanning 24/7 technical support to security and cloud storage into one convenient offering, making Apple device adoption in the workplace a more convenient and efficient process for commercial users.</p><p>With digital transformation being progressively viewed as a business strategy for remaining economically competitive, Apple Business Essentials is expected to further Apple&#39;s capitalization of commercial opportunities ahead. And Apple&#39;s upcoming launch of the &#34;Tap-to-Pay&#34; feature, which will allow SMBs to &#34;accept payments through Apple Pay, credit cards and digital wallets&#34; using near field communication (&#34;NFC&#34;) straight from the iPhone, is also expected to strategically provide mutual reinforcement for both hardware and service sales within the commercial landscape in coming years.</p><p><b>App Store:</b> Continued growth in market demand for mobile applications will also be a boon to Apple&#39;s fast-growing services segment. The global market for mobile applications is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.4% and reach a market value of more than $400 billion over the next five years. With AAPL hosting one of the largest and most used app stores in the world, it would be reasonable to assume that related revenues would grow at a similar pace.</p><p>Despite mounting global regulatory scrutiny over Apple&#39;s alleged antitrust violations with its App Store, the company&#39;s continued focus on ensuring user privacy, security, and ease of transactions remains key strategies for retaining user adoption. According to a survey of 4,000 Apple product users performed by <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a> across the U.S. and China, most have indicated loyalty to Apple&#39;s App store due to the &#34;value of security, privacy and ease of transactions&#34; provided, despite developers pushing for rights to transact outside of Apple&#39;s ecosystem.</p><p><b>What to Look for After Earnings</b></p><p>For the current quarter, management has warned of continuing supply headwinds stemming from COVID-related disruptions and industry-wide silicon shortages. On the demand side, COVID disruptions observed in China - which represents almost a fifth of total Apple sales - have slowed domestic consumption. Paired with the company&#39;s recent pullout from the Russian market following the Ukraine war, which drove a 150 bps decrease to sales growth in the March-quarter, the company is expecting a quantified impact of $4 billion to $8 billion from the combined challenges for the June-quarter.</p><p>But these impacts to the company&#39;s fundamental strength and valuation prospects are expected to remain minimum given their transitory nature. Yes, they will bring about some volatility in the near-term for sure, but the stock&#39;s bullish narrative in the long run, backed by continued growth and a strong balance sheet, remains intact.</p><p><b>China&#39;s COVID Situation:</b> Production at most of Apple&#39;s most notable assemblers in China, including Pegatron, Foxconn and Quanta have resumed after temporary suspensions in response to China&#39;s attempt to curb the resurgence of omicron infections. Most are currently operating out of a &#34;closed-loop system&#34;, where &#34;workers live on-site and are tested regularly&#34; to reduce chances of a widespread outbreak.</p><p>But logistical challenges remain intense due to strict quarantine controls levied on the country&#39;s trucking fleet, which is responsible for transporting about 75% of total freight in China. Key industrial hubs like Jiangsu, Guangdong, Shanxi and Shanghai saw road freight volumes decline by close to a fifth in March compared to the prior year. Only some easing has been observed since late April, as China continues to struggle with getting a grip on persistent infection rates, especially in the Shanghai corridor that houses some of Apple&#39;s final assembly plants. Despite the return to closed-loop operations, the assembly plants are facing heightening risks of exposure to dwindling inventory levels as a result of ongoing logistical challenges. As such, we consider Apple&#39;s recent guidance of an upward adjusted estimate on product disruption for the current quarter a prudent decision in setting market expectations in the near-term.</p><p><b>Silicon Shortages:</b> Industry-wide silicon shortages have been going on more than a year now, with the aftermath of pandemic-era disruptions to production still lingering to this day. Increased demand for chips in the face of accelerating cross-industry digitization, compounded by raw material supply constraints due to the Russia-Ukraine war has also further complicated the situation.</p><p>Apple continues to suffer from the shortage of legacy nodes, which have caused an acute impact to iPad supply. This has led to multiple consecutive periods of declining sales for the segment, despite refreshed demand from both retail and commercial consumers. As the easing timeline on chip shortages remains highly uncertain, we expect related impacts to fluctuate in the range of $3 billion to $6 billion through the rest of the year and potentially through the first half of 2023. This is consistent with observations in the past three quarters prior to added pressure from China&#39;s recent lockdowns and the Russia-Ukraine war.</p><p><b>Russia Exit:</b> Apple noted lost sales growth of about 150 bps in the March-quarter due to its exit from the Russian market following the country&#39;s attack on Ukraine. Considering 9% year-on-year growth observed in the March-quarter, Apple is expected to have lost about $1 billion in sales as a result of pulling out operations from Russia, which is immaterial from both a fundamental and valuations point of view. We also consider Apple&#39;s immediate exit from the Russian market following the onset of the Russia-Ukraine war a prudent move, which precluded the company from exposure to impacts pertaining to ensuing sanctions levied on Russia by the U.S. and its allies.</p><p><b>Tightening Monetary Policy:</b> As discussed in our recent coverage, we consider the Apple stock one of the strongest shields against adverse impacts from the Federal Reserve&#39;s monetary policy tightening measures to quell the hottest inflation in 40 years. While tightening financial conditions have largely deterred investors from risky assets like growth stocks, Apple has remained comparatively resilient given its outperformance of key benchmark indexes still, despite overall year-to-date declines.</p><p>Sustained by robust demand still for its existing offerings, and new opportunities arising from nascent technologies like AR/VR and autonomous vehicles in the long run, Apple is expected to re-emerge from the current market rout stronger than its peers thanks to its fundamental strength. As mentioned in earlier sections, Apple&#39;s strong net cash position also provides sufficient dry powder to fund additional growth in coming years without incurring additional costs of capital amidst rising interest rates.</p><p>The company&#39;s robust balance sheet is also backing generous shareholder returns in the form of share buybacks and dividends, which is a positive gesture under the current market climate. The company returned $27 billion to shareholders in the March-quarter through a combination of $22.9 billion in share buybacks and $3.6 billion in dividends. The company has also promised a dividend increase of 5% to $0.23 per share for the current quarter, and authorized an additional $90 billion in share buybacks as the company works to get its checkbook down to cash neutral over time.</p><p><b>Is Apple Stock a Buy, Sell or Hold?</b></p><p>As Apple continues to press through production challenges and macroeconomic headwinds with outperformance, we are maintaining our 12-month price target for the stock at the $200 to $210 level. This would represent upside potential of more than 30% based on the stock&#39;s last traded share price of $157.28 (May 6th).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e9affb0161f8d6b76919faef35ad6a1e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"238\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Apple Valuation Analysis (Author)</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8310753449dc1befdd9f822f1879c478\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"249\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Apple Financial Forecast (Author)</span></p><p>As the broad-based market rout continues amidst still-fluid macroeconomic challenges spanning runaway inflation, tightening monetary policies, hard-to-tame COVID outbreaks, and intensifying geopolitical tensions, the current turmoil in equities could &#34;provide a near-term stock pullback which [could be used] as a buying opportunity&#34;.

Investors awarded the stock with an intraday rally of as much as 6% to a high of close to $166 (April 29th) immediately following release of Apple's blockbuster results.However, persistent market jitters in the days leading up to the May FOMC meeting reversed the earnings beat rally as the stock plunged towards the $150-level. Then, the stock recovered slightly on improved market sentiment following last Wednesday's (May 4th) Fed decision on a 50 bps rate increase and release of commentary regarding policy tightening plans in coming months. But it lost momentum and slid again alongside broad-based market declines as market participants braced for the \"cold reality of tightening financial conditions\" that face rising threats of a looming recession.Despite current market woes, Apple remains the \"single member of the [FAANG] group that is still outperforming the S&P 500\" this year. This, again, corroborates investors' debate between prizing the stock for consistent demonstration of fundamental strength and paring valuation premiums on \"fears of an economic slowdown\".It is true that Apple is not without downside risks. The underlying business remains at the forefront of exposure to protracted industry-wide chip supply shortages and other supply chain constraints that have been compounded by the latest COVID-related lockdowns in China. The challenges are weighing on consumer spending levels in Apple's Chinese market, and adding fuel to an inflationary environment around raw material, labour and freight costs that risk margin contraction. Management has quantified the estimated impact at $4 billion to $8 billion in the current quarter, with some expected to be recapturable in later quarters, and others foregone permanently. Apple has also highlighted impacts pertaining to its recently pullout from the Russian market following the country's instigation of war against Ukraine.But Apple's ability to keep wowing investors with stronger-than-expected growth despite a quarter \"blighted by Ukraine war, spiking inflation and China's COVID Zero lockdowns\" is what makes the results all the more impressive. And new product and segment launches that await over the coming months and years bolster further expansion of its total addressable market (\"TAM\") and reach into installed users' pockets over the longer-term, underscoring greater valuation prospects ahead for the stock.The company's yearslong effort in bringing its strong net cash position down to neutral through attractive shareholder returns in the form of buybacks and dividends is also a \"nice struggle\" to have. Apple's strong balance sheet, which provides insulation from rising borrowing costs and sufficient dry powder to fund additional growth in coming years, makes it a safe investment pick in the face of tightening financial conditions. Despite the near-term challenges, Apple remains one of the most attractive investments with remarkable fundamental performance that continues to outshine peers in today's macro climate.What is Apple's Long-Term Outlook? Here's What Apple's FY/2Q22 Earnings Beat Suggests:Apple's March-quarter results exceeded expectations across the board, including its iPad segment which posted a year-on-year sales decline due to supply constraints. The company generated total revenue of $97.3 billion in the period (+8.6% y/y; -22% q/q), topping consensus estimate of $94 billion (+5% y/y; -24% q/q). Net income came in at $1.52 per share, exceeding the average analyst estimate of $1.42.And for the current quarter, management expects the strong showing in its Services segment to continue, which makes sense given its reduced exposure to current supply chain challenges. The anticipated shift in sales mix to higher-margin Services is expected to offset some of increases to product costs in the current inflationary environment. Despite current macro challenges, company has guided gross margin of 42% to 43%, which is still among the best over the past 10 years. And as supply constraints ease over the longer-term with increasing efforts in \"accelerating the in-sourcing of key components such as processors, sensors, displays, batteries and cameras\", the company is well-positioned for sustained margin improvements ahead.iPhoneiPhone sales continued to account for the bulk of the company's consolidated topline, generating $50.6 billion in revenues (+5% y/y; -29% q/q), which also exceeded the average estimate of $49.2 billion (+3% y/y; -31% q/q). The segment's outperformance underscored robust demand for the latest 5G-enabled iPhone 13 and iPhone SE devices, despite acute supply constraints and a tough prior year compare which overlapped a late-year iPhone launch timing.The upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference (\"WWDC\") in June, Apple's annual keynote event, is also expected to bolster the company's iPhone sales in the latter half of both the fiscal and calendar year. All eyes are on the iPhone 14 launch expected for later this year. Based on Apple's \"three-year cycle for new hardware designs\" observed for the iPhone in recent years, the iPhone 14 will likely retain the exterior design of the iPhone 13 which debuted with the iPhone 12.Because larger models typically garner greater demand than the smaller models, there is speculation that Apple will \"rethink\" its iPhone line-up. It is likely that Apple will offer a 6.7\" screen option for a non-Pro model for the first time starting with the iPhone 14, which is expected to capture better customer reception given greater affordability compared to Pro models. If Apple does proceed with such plans, it is also expected to cushion some of the impact from slowing consumer spending in China at the moment given its contracting economy - the max-sized models are particularly popular in region, so offering a more affordable non-Pro option will likely improve Apple's reach into Chinese consumers' wallets.Further improvements to the camera and processing power / performance on the iPhone 14 is also expected to encourage greater upgrades and switches, and buoy continued iPhone segment growth. The iPhone 14 Pro line-up is expected to feature a \"new 48-megapixel sensor for the wide-angle camera…[and] get Apple's new A16 chip\". With more than a quarter of Apple's iPhone installed base being older than 3.5 years (circa iPhone 8 and iPhone X - I personally still use the iPhone 7 which is considered \"vintage\" by some of my peers\"), the upcoming iPhone 14 upgrades will be hard to resist.MacThe Mac also \"continued its resurgence\", posting strong double-digit year-on-year growth for the seventh quarter in the past two years with March-quarter sales totalling $10.4 billion (+15% y/y; -4% q/q). The combination of robust demand and supply constraints have now pushed wait times for some of the highly coveted computing devices out to June. And Apple's transition to its in-house designed silicon has a significant role to play in restoring favourable growth trends observed in recent quarters.The M1 Ultra, which powers the Mac Studio desktop, is now the \"world's most powerful chip for PC\". It enables 7x faster performance than its predecessor, drawing favourable demand from creative professionals spanning app developers to video creators looking for computing power that can handle demanding workloads without compromising performance. The reimagined M1 Pro- / Max-powered MacBook Pro has also been a hit.With Apple silicon consistently proving quality and performance for the Mac line-up, the company has rapidly rose to the top spot by market share in PC sales. Macs represented 18.8% of total PC shipments in the March-quarter, beating long-time industry leader Dell (DELL) and HPE (HPE). Close to half of Mac buyers in the March-quarter noted they were new to the product, underscoring Apple's continued market share gains.iPadOn the iPad front, heightened supply constraints have continued to weigh on sales despite robust demand. iPad sales generated $7.7 billion (-2% y/y; +5% q/q) in revenues in the March-quarter, which still topped average analyst estimates. The segment's installed base reached a record high, with more than half of iPad customers indicating they were new to the device. The all-new M1-powered iPad Air, which includes 5G support, was also well-received. Despite declining March-quarter iPad sales due to supply constraints, Apple led tablet market sales in the period and grabbed close to 40% of market share, beating rival and runner-up Samsung's 20.4% by wide margins.The iPad remains a market favourite despite softening consumer demand. The rapid transition to remote collaboration in the post-pandemic era has marked an inflection point for adoption of multi-purpose tablets. In addition to robust demand from the retail market, Apple's iPads have also been in high demand within the commercial sector. During the March-quarter, Apple iPad Pros were procured by Alaska Airlines (ALK) to replace its legacy check-in kiosks, thanks to the portable device's seamless integration into the airline's existing operations. With rising deployment of tablet devices in the commercial sector to accommodate rapid digital transformation trends and remote working demands in the post-pandemic era, continued innovation empowered by Apple silicon is expected to drive higher growth for the less-lucrative iPad segment once supply headwinds subside.Wearables, Home and AccessoriesThe Wearables, Home and Accessories segment also pulled through with strong double-digit growth in the quarter. Related revenues totalled $8.8 billion (+12% y/y; -40% q/q), consistent with consensus expectations. The category continues to benefit from strong Apple Watch demand driven by increasing consumer preference and attention to health and fitness.The company has been ramping up investments into developing new technology offerings for the wearable product to address increasing user demand for health features, including the \"highly anticipated blood-pressure monitor\" that is expected to debut in 2024, a body-temperature sensor, as well as a \"non-invasive blood sugar monitor\". The upcoming watchOS 9 software update debuting in June is also expected to include improvements to the smartwatch's heart rate monitor, a \"new low-power mode that is designed to let its smartwatch run some apps…without using as much battery life\", and additional \"workout types and metrics…within the Workout app on the watch\". And later this year, Apple is expected to unveil up to three new Apple Watches that include the highly anticipated Series 8 model, an affordable SE model, and an upscale option with \"rugged casing that is aimed at extreme athletes\". The new developments to both software and hardware features are expected to reinforce the segment's growth prospects by extending its reach to new users while also expanding Apple's TAM for wearable technology.ServicesServices was a particular bright spot for Apple in the March-quarter. The segment - which houses sales related to Apple Care, App Store, payments, ads, and other subscription services like Apple TV+ and Apple Music - generated revenues of $19.8 billion (+17% y/y; +2% q/q) in the period, which were \"slightly above projections\". Apple added more than 165 million net new subscriptions in the past 12 months, bringing its total paid user base for Services to 825 million. And with accelerating penetration into the commercial sector, alongside rapid consumer adoption of Apple media and entertainment subscription services bolstered by its convenient and accessible hardware-service ecosystem, the company has guided double-digit growth again for the current quarter.Apple TV+: Despite increasing competition within the segment, as evidenced in the hardships experienced by industry leader Netflix (NFLX) in retaining market share over recent months, Apple TV+ continued to deliver on upbeat results, buoyed by positive viewer response to original productions that include \"Severance\", \"Ted Lasso\" and \"CODA\", which became the first streaming service to win an Oscar for Best Picture.While Apple TV+'s market share of global streaming services remains comparatively nominal when put against rivals like Netflix, HBO Max (WBD), and Disney+ (DIS), the convenient ecosystem Apple maintains to enable easy access remains a strong competitive advantage in driving further share gains in coming years. Apple is well-positioned to benefit from favourable streaming uptake trends ahead with the \"seamless integration of hardware, software and services at the center of [its] work and philosophy\". Total consumer spending on entertainment and media is expected to advance at a compounded annual growth rate (\"CAGR\") of 3.9% into a $915 billion market of its own by mid-decade. And much of this acceleration will be driven by demand for video streaming services, which is expected to expand at a CAGR of more than 18% over the next five years and blossom into a $190 billion opportunity. As Apple continues to encourage sign-ups with competitively priced offerings like Apple Bundle and engaging content, Apple TV+ has potential for acceleration over the longer-term and further bolster Services growth.Commercial Services: The company's increasing penetration into commercial markets with the latest launch of \"Apple Business Essentials\" also drives greater market share expansion and growth for its Services segment in coming years. The new service offering targeting small- and medium-sized businesses (\"SMBs\") pairs well with already-strong uptake rates of Apple devices across the industry, and remains a prudent strategy for driving greater adjacent revenue growth in the Services segment. Apple Business Essentials combines all device management services spanning 24/7 technical support to security and cloud storage into one convenient offering, making Apple device adoption in the workplace a more convenient and efficient process for commercial users.With digital transformation being progressively viewed as a business strategy for remaining economically competitive, Apple Business Essentials is expected to further Apple's capitalization of commercial opportunities ahead. And Apple's upcoming launch of the \"Tap-to-Pay\" feature, which will allow SMBs to \"accept payments through Apple Pay, credit cards and digital wallets\" using near field communication (\"NFC\") straight from the iPhone, is also expected to strategically provide mutual reinforcement for both hardware and service sales within the commercial landscape in coming years.App Store: Continued growth in market demand for mobile applications will also be a boon to Apple's fast-growing services segment. The global market for mobile applications is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.4% and reach a market value of more than $400 billion over the next five years. With AAPL hosting one of the largest and most used app stores in the world, it would be reasonable to assume that related revenues would grow at a similar pace.Despite mounting global regulatory scrutiny over Apple's alleged antitrust violations with its App Store, the company's continued focus on ensuring user privacy, security, and ease of transactions remains key strategies for retaining user adoption. According to a survey of 4,000 Apple product users performed by Morgan Stanley across the U.S. and China, most have indicated loyalty to Apple's App store due to the \"value of security, privacy and ease of transactions\" provided, despite developers pushing for rights to transact outside of Apple's ecosystem.What to Look for After EarningsFor the current quarter, management has warned of continuing supply headwinds stemming from COVID-related disruptions and industry-wide silicon shortages. On the demand side, COVID disruptions observed in China - which represents almost a fifth of total Apple sales - have slowed domestic consumption. Paired with the company's recent pullout from the Russian market following the Ukraine war, which drove a 150 bps decrease to sales growth in the March-quarter, the company is expecting a quantified impact of $4 billion to $8 billion from the combined challenges for the June-quarter.But these impacts to the company's fundamental strength and valuation prospects are expected to remain minimum given their transitory nature. Yes, they will bring about some volatility in the near-term for sure, but the stock's bullish narrative in the long run, backed by continued growth and a strong balance sheet, remains intact.China's COVID Situation: Production at most of Apple's most notable assemblers in China, including Pegatron, Foxconn and Quanta have resumed after temporary suspensions in response to China's attempt to curb the resurgence of omicron infections. Most are currently operating out of a \"closed-loop system\", where \"workers live on-site and are tested regularly\" to reduce chances of a widespread outbreak.But logistical challenges remain intense due to strict quarantine controls levied on the country's trucking fleet, which is responsible for transporting about 75% of total freight in China. Key industrial hubs like Jiangsu, Guangdong, Shanxi and Shanghai saw road freight volumes decline by close to a fifth in March compared to the prior year. Only some easing has been observed since late April, as China continues to struggle with getting a grip on persistent infection rates, especially in the Shanghai corridor that houses some of Apple's final assembly plants. Despite the return to closed-loop operations, the assembly plants are facing heightening risks of exposure to dwindling inventory levels as a result of ongoing logistical challenges. As such, we consider Apple's recent guidance of an upward adjusted estimate on product disruption for the current quarter a prudent decision in setting market expectations in the near-term.Silicon Shortages: Industry-wide silicon shortages have been going on more than a year now, with the aftermath of pandemic-era disruptions to production still lingering to this day. Increased demand for chips in the face of accelerating cross-industry digitization, compounded by raw material supply constraints due to the Russia-Ukraine war has also further complicated the situation.Apple continues to suffer from the shortage of legacy nodes, which have caused an acute impact to iPad supply. This has led to multiple consecutive periods of declining sales for the segment, despite refreshed demand from both retail and commercial consumers. As the easing timeline on chip shortages remains highly uncertain, we expect related impacts to fluctuate in the range of $3 billion to $6 billion through the rest of the year and potentially through the first half of 2023. This is consistent with observations in the past three quarters prior to added pressure from China's recent lockdowns and the Russia-Ukraine war.Russia Exit: Apple noted lost sales growth of about 150 bps in the March-quarter due to its exit from the Russian market following the country's attack on Ukraine. Considering 9% year-on-year growth observed in the March-quarter, Apple is expected to have lost about $1 billion in sales as a result of pulling out operations from Russia, which is immaterial from both a fundamental and valuations point of view. We also consider Apple's immediate exit from the Russian market following the onset of the Russia-Ukraine war a prudent move, which precluded the company from exposure to impacts pertaining to ensuing sanctions levied on Russia by the U.S. and its allies.Tightening Monetary Policy: As discussed in our recent coverage, we consider the Apple stock one of the strongest shields against adverse impacts from the Federal Reserve's monetary policy tightening measures to quell the hottest inflation in 40 years. While tightening financial conditions have largely deterred investors from risky assets like growth stocks, Apple has remained comparatively resilient given its outperformance of key benchmark indexes still, despite overall year-to-date declines.Sustained by robust demand still for its existing offerings, and new opportunities arising from nascent technologies like AR/VR and autonomous vehicles in the long run, Apple is expected to re-emerge from the current market rout stronger than its peers thanks to its fundamental strength. As mentioned in earlier sections, Apple's strong net cash position also provides sufficient dry powder to fund additional growth in coming years without incurring additional costs of capital amidst rising interest rates.The company's robust balance sheet is also backing generous shareholder returns in the form of share buybacks and dividends, which is a positive gesture under the current market climate. The company returned $27 billion to shareholders in the March-quarter through a combination of $22.9 billion in share buybacks and $3.6 billion in dividends. The company has also promised a dividend increase of 5% to $0.23 per share for the current quarter, and authorized an additional $90 billion in share buybacks as the company works to get its checkbook down to cash neutral over time.Is Apple Stock a Buy, Sell or Hold?As Apple continues to press through production challenges and macroeconomic headwinds with outperformance, we are maintaining our 12-month price target for the stock at the $200 to $210 level. This would represent upside potential of more than 30% based on the stock's last traded share price of $157.28 (May 6th).Apple Valuation Analysis (Author)Apple Financial Forecast (Author)As the broad-based market rout continues amidst still-fluid macroeconomic challenges spanning runaway inflation, tightening monetary policies, hard-to-tame COVID outbreaks, and intensifying geopolitical tensions, the current turmoil in equities could \"provide a near-term stock pullback which [could be used] as a buying opportunity\". We believe the stock's market value is currently non-reflective of its fundamental strength, and growth trajectory ahead of robust demand and new product / segment launches that include AR/VR headsets and the Apple car over coming years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":33,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9001748345,"gmtCreate":1641337702467,"gmtModify":1676533599243,"author":{"id":"3578630064980119","authorId":"3578630064980119","name":"BGTAN","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ca7305b1f6bd1d4dd9abf3c54e6fbdb","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578630064980119","authorIdStr":"3578630064980119"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good info","listText":"Good info","text":"Good info","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9001748345","repostId":"2200081405","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":70,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":818933635,"gmtCreate":1630369748227,"gmtModify":1676530281860,"author":{"id":"3578630064980119","authorId":"3578630064980119","name":"BGTAN","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ca7305b1f6bd1d4dd9abf3c54e6fbdb","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578630064980119","authorIdStr":"3578630064980119"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/818933635","repostId":"2163833181","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2163833181","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1630353642,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2163833181?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-31 04:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"S&P, Nasdaq end at record highs as dovish Fed taper-talk calms investors","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2163833181","media":"Reuters","summary":"S&P 500 tracks longest monthly winning streak since 2018.\nS&P 500, Nasdaq end at fresh record highs\n","content":"<p>S&amp;P 500 tracks longest monthly winning streak since 2018.</p>\n<p>S&amp;P 500, Nasdaq end at fresh record highs</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a> gains on report it is exploring a stock-trading platform</p>\n<p>Aug 30 (Reuters) -

The S&amp;P 500 registered its second-best first-half performance since 1998, rising 14.5%.</p>\n<p>“It’s been a good quarter,” said Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth in Fairfield, Connecticut. “As of last night’s close, the S&amp;P has gained more than 14% year-to-date, topping the Dow and the Nasdaq. That indicates that the stock market is having a broad rally.”</p>\n<p>For the month, the bellwether S&amp;P 500 notched its fifth consecutive advance, while the Dow snapped its four-month winning streak to end slightly lower. The Nasdaq also gained ground in June.</p>\n<p>This month, investor appetite shifted away from economically sensitive cyclicals in favor of growth stocks.</p>\n<p>“Leading sectors year-to-date are what you’d expect,” Pavlik added. “Energy, financials and industrials, and that speaks to an economic environment that’s in the early stages of a cycle.”</p>\n<p>“(Investors) started the switch back to growth (stocks) after people started to buy in to (Fed Chair Jerome) Powell’s comments that focus on transitory inflation,” Pavlik added.</p>\n<p>“Some of the reopening trades have gotten a bit long in the tooth and that’s leading people back to growth.”</p>\n<p>(Graphic: Growths stocks outperform value in June, narrow YTD gap, )</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b82b4dfdc765d913811f9d8572e60f6\" tg-width=\"964\" tg-height=\"723\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">“The overall stock market continues to be on a tear, with very consistent gains for quite some time,” said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment strategist at Inverness Counsel in New York. “Valuations, while certainly high by historical standards, have been at a fairly consistent level, benefiting from the economic recovery.”</p>\n<p>The private sector added 692,000 jobs in June, breezing past expectations, according to payroll processor ADP. The number is 92,000 higher than the private payroll adds economists predict from the Labor Department’s more comprehensive employment report due on Friday.</p>\n<p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 210.22 points, or 0.61%, to 34,502.51, the S&amp;P 500 gained 5.7 points, or 0.13%, to 4,297.5 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 24.38 points, or 0.17%, to 14,503.95.</p>\n<p>Among the 11 major sectors in the S&amp;P, six ended the session higher, with energy enjoying the biggest percentage gain.

The S&P 500 registered its second-best first-half performance since 1998, rising 14.5%.\n“It’s been a good quarter,” said Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth in Fairfield, Connecticut. “As of last night’s close, the S&P has gained more than 14% year-to-date, topping the Dow and the Nasdaq. That indicates that the stock market is having a broad rally.”\nFor the month, the bellwether S&P 500 notched its fifth consecutive advance, while the Dow snapped its four-month winning streak to end slightly lower. The Nasdaq also gained ground in June.\nThis month, investor appetite shifted away from economically sensitive cyclicals in favor of growth stocks.\n“Leading sectors year-to-date are what you’d expect,” Pavlik added. “Energy, financials and industrials, and that speaks to an economic environment that’s in the early stages of a cycle.”\n“(Investors) started the switch back to growth (stocks) after people started to buy in to (Fed Chair Jerome) Powell’s comments that focus on transitory inflation,” Pavlik added.\n“Some of the reopening trades have gotten a bit long in the tooth and that’s leading people back to growth.”\n(Graphic: Growths stocks outperform value in June, narrow YTD gap, )\n“The overall stock market continues to be on a tear, with very consistent gains for quite some time,” said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment strategist at Inverness Counsel in New York. “Valuations, while certainly high by historical standards, have been at a fairly consistent level, benefiting from the economic recovery.”\nThe private sector added 692,000 jobs in June, breezing past expectations, according to payroll processor ADP. The number is 92,000 higher than the private payroll adds economists predict from the Labor Department’s more comprehensive employment report due on Friday.\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 210.22 points, or 0.61%, to 34,502.51, the S&P 500 gained 5.7 points, or 0.13%, to 4,297.5 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 24.38 points, or 0.17%, to 14,503.95.\nAmong the 11 major sectors in the S&P, six ended the session higher, with energy enjoying the biggest percentage gain. Real estate was the day’s biggest loser.\nBoeing Co gained 1.6% after Germany’s defense ministry announced it would buy five of the planemaker’s P-8A maritime control aircraft, coming on the heels of United Airlines unveiling its largest-ever order for new planes.\nWalmart jumped 2.7% after announcing on Tuesday that it would start selling a prescription-only insulin analog.\nMicron Technology advanced 2.5% ahead of its quarterly earnings release, but was relatively unchanged in after-hours trading following the chipmaker’s quarterly results.\nAdvancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 1.35-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.19-to-1 ratio favored decliners.\nThe S&P 500 posted 20 new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 70 new highs and 36 new lows.\nVolume on U.S. exchanges was 10.85 billion shares, compared with the 11.05 billion average over the last 20 trading days.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":48,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9963408999,"gmtCreate":1668732336612,"gmtModify":1676538103582,"author":{"id":"3578630064980119","authorId":"3578630064980119","name":"BGTAN","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ca7305b1f6bd1d4dd9abf3c54e6fbdb","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578630064980119","authorIdStr":"3578630064980119"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":1,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9963408999","repostId":"2284516715","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":96,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9932967916,"gmtCreate":1662864894435,"gmtModify":1676537153582,"author":{"id":"3578630064980119","authorId":"3578630064980119","name":"BGTAN","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ca7305b1f6bd1d4dd9abf3c54e6fbdb","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578630064980119","authorIdStr":"3578630064980119"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9932967916","repostId":"2266817381","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2266817381","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1662861434,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2266817381?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-09-11 09:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"How a CEO Rescued a Big Bet on Big Oil; \"There Were a Lot of Doubters\"","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2266817381","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Occidental Petroleum Corp. entered the thick of the pandemic among the worst prepared of its U.S. oi","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be5cb2e717152d9e61504d0803ac3654\" tg-width=\"1278\" tg-height=\"1278\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Occidental Petroleum Corp. entered the thick of the pandemic among the worst prepared of its U.S. oil-and-gas peers. Struggling with debt from an ill-timed $38 billion deal, Chief ExecutiveVicki Hollubwas fending off activist investorCarl Icahn, who controlled two board seats.</p><p>Two years later, the company has emerged as the top performer in the S&amp;P 500, and Ms. Hollub has traded Mr. Icahn, who sold all of his Occidental shares in March, for Warren Buffett, whoseBerkshire Hathaway Inc. now owns more than 20% of the company.</p><p>It was touch and go for a time. Months before the pandemic took hold, she implemented widespread layoffs. To stave off bankruptcy after oil prices collapsed in 2020, she slashed spending and nearly eliminated Occidental’s once-sacrosanct dividend—“the biggest and toughest decision that I made and I’ve ever made in my career,” she said in an interview.</p><p>Her 2019 acquisition of rival Anadarko Petroleum Corp., which Mr. Icahn called a “disaster,” has given Occidental the dominant position in the largest U.S. shale-oil field, the Permian Basin. Lifted by climbing oil prices, Occidental generated a record $4.35 billion in free cash flow and $3.7 billion in profit in the second quarter. It has cut its debt to $22 billion from nearly $36 billion a year ago.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/61847881fba325e1dc5c7ed3280e29db\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Oil-and-gas producers have reported banner profits this year, even as a global energy crisis sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has threatened to derail European industries, left the U.K. facing its worst economic crisis since the 1970s and forced the Netherlands, Germany and India to rely heavily on coal to make up for a dearth of natural gas.</p><p>But Ms. Hollub, the first woman to be CEO of a major U.S. oil company, says she doesn’t feel vindicated. “I just feel relief,” she said. “There were a lot of doubters.”</p><p>Mr. Buffett has publicly lauded Ms. Hollub’s leadership. After she detailed the company’s future plans for analysts in February, Mr. Buffett told his own shareholders, “What Vicki Hollub was saying made nothing but sense.” Last month, Berkshire received regulatory approval to buy up to 50% of the oil company’s shares, spurring speculation it might seek to purchase all of Occidental.</p><p>Mr. Buffett declined to comment for this story. Ms. Hollub said she has “tremendous respect” for Mr. Buffett, adding that “he will be very beneficial for us as we go forward.” She declined to discuss the possibility of Berkshire purchasing the entire company.</p><p>Some former investors remain skeptical, saying a spike in oil prices has rescued the company, not Ms. Hollub.</p><p>“I have nothing personal against Vicki,” Mr. Icahn said in an interview. “However, that will never change my mind that she should not have made a bet-the-company investment by way of overpaying for Anadarko.”</p><p>A University of Alabama graduate, Ms. Hollub joined Occidental in 1982 and soon found herself running operations in Russia and Venezuela. She almost got laid off in 2003, butTodd Stevens, an executive at the company who had followed her rise, arranged for her to lead a team evaluating acreage in Colorado, said Mr. Stevens, who has since left.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bf58d7d767a23cfb352e019504bafa44\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Equipment used to process carbon dioxide, crude oil and water at an Occidental Petroleum project in Hobbs, N.M.PHOTO:ERNEST SCHEYDER/REUTERS</span></p><p>Ms. Hollub became known as a hard worker, once spending three weeks straightening out operations at a new gas field’s first well, said Donnie Enns, a former geophysicist who worked under her. “Nobody worked harder than Vicki,” he said. She also found time to run an office March Madness basketball pool.</p><p>After being named CEO of the company in 2016, Ms. Hollub departed from her predecessor’s preference for low-risk, “bolt-on” transactions. A little over a year into the job, she started courting Anadarko, an oil producer of comparable size, for a deal.</p><p>She outflanked largerChevronCorp. in a bidding war that riveted the oil patch, offering $5 billion more than her rival for Anadarko and its prized assets in the epicenter of U.S. shale production. Yet victory came at a steep cost.</p><p>Some of Occidental’s largest shareholders decried the deal—especially a pricey loan from Mr. Buffett in the form of $10 billion in preferred stock paying 8% annually in dividends, or $800 million. Ms. Hollub negotiated the funding at the eleventh hour after meeting with the financier in Omaha, Neb. Mr. Icahn, who first bought stock as the Anadarko bidding war came to a close, wrote to Occidental shareholders that “Buffett figuratively took her to the cleaners.”</p><p>Ms. Hollub acknowledged the deal damaged the company’s standing with some investors. “I was never offended at the fact that our shareholders were skeptical,” she said.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/58cf5cd81991220ec1f42821cee2554b\" tg-width=\"639\" tg-height=\"959\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Vicki Hollub said she never doubted the wisdom of the Anadarko acquisition.PHOTO:ANGELA OWENS/THE WALL STREET JOURNAL</span></p><p>But she said she never doubted the wisdom of the acquisition, even after it sparked an investor revolt that created an opportunity for Mr. Icahn.</p><p>Central to Ms. Hollub’s strategy was building on Occidental’s already-large position in the oil-rich Permian of West Texas and New Mexico. She believed purchasing and drilling a huge swath of new acreage, much of it near the company’s existing assets, would give Occidental economies of scale and allow it to outperform Permian rivals. Occidental, she said, was one of the most technologically advanced drillers in the field; it would turn Anadarko’s undeveloped assets into oil-gushing wells.</p><p>By the end of 2019, the oil producer said it was making progress on its merger goals. It had divested itself of more than $6 billion in assets, including stakes in a liquefied natural gas export project in Mozambique and in a Houston-based pipeline company. Occidental recorded single-day and monthly production records in the Permian and other oil fields. Occidental announced its 182nd consecutive quarterly dividend, which Ms. Hollub noted at the time that “few other companies can claim.”</p><p>Ms. Hollub believed the merger was on track, but investors remained skeptical. From the time of Occidental’s counteroffer for Anadarko in April 2019 to February 2020 Occidental’s stock fell around 35%. Then the global pandemic took hold.</p><p>As billions of people around the world began to lock down, demand for oil plummeted. In the spring, oil prices reached historic lows, briefly turning negative for the first time ever as traders paid counterparties to take oil off their hands. Falling demand for their product hammered oil-and-gas companies, forcing dozens into bankruptcy.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9090db9eab1ac4c91bd5b1b441d26206\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Gasoline prices sank in April 2020 after the global pandemic caused oil prices to drop below zero.PHOTO:FREDERIC J. BROWN/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES</span></p><p>Every day, Ms. Hollub would drive to Occidental’s Houston offices in her red Jeep Wrangler, said Glenn Vangolen, a former senior vice president at Occidental and close adviser to the CEO. Mondays and Fridays, she and her lieutenants would mask up and gather in a conference room to discuss operations. Her office was spartan—a mostly bare room, except for a TV playing business news on mute, and a plush stuffed version of a costumed elephant, the Alabama Crimson Tide’s mascot, Mr. Vangolen said.</p><p>Occidental was in a worse situation than many of its peers: At the end of 2019, its long-term debt of about $39 billion was equivalent to roughly four times its earnings, excluding interest, taxes and other accounting items, quadruple the ratio from a year earlier, S&amp;P Capital IQ data show. The divestitures it had planned on to pay it down were no longer viable as assets were losing value.</p><p>Ms. Hollub said that Occidental made a lot of the difficult decisions before the pandemic to mitigate the downside risks of the Anadarko acquisition, including hedging a portion of its oil production and bumping its line of credit to $5 billion. But the company still faced painful months ahead as it had barely enough cash on hand to meet debt maturities coming due in 2021 and was later forced to hire restructuring advisers.</p><p>Ms. Hollub moved to cut her executives’ salaries—including her own by 81%—offer employees voluntary buy-outs, slash expenses in the oil patch and cancel employee perks. She also cut the dividend, which rankled investors.</p><p>Mr. Icahn amplified his calls for Ms. Hollub’s ouster and said he would seek to replace the entire board of directors at the company’s annual meeting. As the oil producer’s stock plunged to under $10 from around $45 before the pandemic, Mr. Icahn—facing paper losses of about $1 billion—doubled down on his shares, boosting his stake to roughly 10% from about 2%.</p><p>After a price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia caused oil prices to plunge below $25 a barrel in March, Occidental reached a settlement with Mr. Icahn. The deal gave board seats to two of his deputies and added another director, required Occidental to create an oversight committee that must be informed of any offers to acquire the company or its assets, and replaced the board chairman withStephen Chazen, Ms. Hollub’s predecessor as CEO.</p><p>Mr. Icahn’s camp pushed for Occidental to give its shareholders warrants that could allow them to buy discounted shares in the future. After he prevailed, Mr. Icahn received roughly 11 million warrants initially and bought more when they were worth around $3.</p><p>Mr. Vangolen said Mr. Icahn’s demand for warrants was part of the investor’s “raider playbook,” which he described as “trying to extract as much cash out of the business as you can before you bail.”</p><p>Mr. Icahn said that all the shareholders who rode the stock down deserved something for their loyalty.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3af2c050a88b00dd9846de958b65be1b\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>A crude oil pump jack in the Permian Basin in Loving County, Texas.PHOTO:ANGUS MORDANT/REUTERS</span></p><p>As the pandemic dragged on, Occidental logged a roughly $14.8 billion loss for 2020, its largest on record, according to S&amp;P Capital IQ data. Still, it continued to whittle down its mammoth debt, closing around $2.5 billion in asset sales at the end of 2020. Anadarko’s assets, meanwhile, were starting to shine, with production in the Permian reaching the high end of company estimates.</p><p>Even as Ms. Hollub wrestled with Mr. Icahn, she was building a relationship with Mr. Buffett.</p><p>In 2020, she traveled to Omaha to discuss Occidental&#39;s long-term strategy with Mr. Buffett, according to a person familiar with the meeting. The investor expressed a strong interest in the company&#39;s goal to become a leader in carbon capture, this person said.</p><p>Occidental says it has no plans to stop producing oil but also aims to be a leader in &#34;carbon management.&#34; It wants to develop 70 plants by 2035 to suck carbon dioxide out of the air, store it in the ground and sell carbon credits to businesses seeking to offset their own emissions -- a technology still in its commercial infancy that received a boost thanks to tax credits included in the climate package President Biden signed into law last month. The company also plans to use the gas to squeeze more oil from underground.</p><p>Then, in late February of this year, Russia invaded Ukraine.</p><p>The war propelled oil prices to their highest level in years, with Brent crude oil topping $120 in March, translating into a windfall for oil companies. In the first quarter of the year, Occidental made roughly $4.9 billion in profit, its highest quarterly earnings on record, according to S&amp;P Capital IQ.</p><p>The company now holds the most acreage across the Permian, with leases covering about 2.8 million net acres, according to data firm Enverus. Its domestic oil output in the second quarter of this year was up roughly 80% compared with before it acquired Anadarko, Occidental reported.</p><p>As Occidental&#39;s stock rose above $50 a share in March, Mr. Icahn sold his common stake. The investor&#39;s two representatives on Occidental&#39;s board also resigned, as was required by the settlement agreement. Mr. Icahn made over $1.5 billion on his investment and still holds some warrants, according to public filings and people familiar with the matter.</p><p>As Mr. Icahn got out of the stock, Mr. Buffett bought in. In May, Berkshire reported it had purchased roughly $8 billion worth of shares.</p><p>Mr. Icahn said that Mr. Buffett&#39;s investment could be ill-timed. &#34;I respect Buffett a lot but I think buying this stock at this level is obviously not like buying warrants at $3,&#34; he said. &#34;I made a great deal of money on my investment in Occidental, especially with the warrants, and activism worked in that regard,&#34; he said.</p><p>Ms. Hollub and Mr. Buffett have developed a personal relationship and the two talk periodically, said Mr. Vangolen. Ms. Hollub said in an interview she had no personal relationship with Mr. Icahn when he was an investor, and that he turned out not to be the kind of long-term shareholder the company prizes.</p><p>Mr. Icahn&#39;s retort: &#34;She came very close to not being a long-term shareholder also, because her ill-timed investment put the company on the brink of bankruptcy.&#34;</p></body></html>","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>How a CEO Rescued a Big Bet on Big Oil; \"There Were a Lot of Doubters\"</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\">\nHow a CEO Rescued a Big Bet on Big Oil; \"There Were a Lot of Doubters\"\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2022-09-11 09:57</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/be5cb2e717152d9e61504d0803ac3654\" tg-width=\"1278\" tg-height=\"1278\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Occidental Petroleum Corp. entered the thick of the pandemic among the worst prepared of its U.S. oil-and-gas peers.

There might be some self-delusion in this, and it is certainly not always true, but it is a strong part of our self-defining myth as a people. Of one Briton, however, it genuinely was true, and for 70 years we have known that because of her virtues we would always be proud of her wherever she went -- and thus proud of our country too. She was a fine lifelong role model for millions in Britain, the Commonwealth and around the world.</p><p>The complete certainty that -- whatever the rest of her family might say or do -- Her Majesty The Queen would never embarrass us on the world stage, but would always perform her duties with the utmost professionalism and unflappable calm, made her the soft-power equivalent of an aircraft carrier when it came to international relations. However much our other national institutions might let us down, we always knew that The Queen would never put a step out of place or say a single word that would make us cringe.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/96243ab593f31f43979c5b0356e3e1f3\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip in Buckingham Palace, December 1958. They were married for 73 years before his death in 2021.</span></p><p>In the full glare of the global media for seven decades, meeting hundreds of thousands of people one-on-one and untold millions in public events, traveling to over a hundred countries of the world, dealing with delicate diplomatic incidents that today are history but at the time could have produced strife, advising 15 prime ministers from Winston Churchill to Liz Truss, she knew just what to do. It seems almost superhuman; it was certainly the absolute acme of professionalism. Would to God that more of our leaders in public life had a fraction of her grace, her gravitas and, above all, her common sense.</p><p>The Queen had an uncanny knack for encapsulating in a phrase what the rest of us think but rarely quite put into words, or at least rarely have the opportunity to say to the right person at the right time. &#34;Why did no one see it coming?&#34; she asked Mervyn King, the Governor of the Bank of England, about the 2008 Great Crash. &#34;Why would anyone want the job?&#34; she asked Boris Johnson when he became prime minister during the Brexit maelstrom. Then there was the sixth sense she had for what her people were feeling. When they were hurting financially during the Great Crash, she canceled her birthday party at the Ritz.
