The Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.9% to 14,138.78, hitting its first fresh record close since Feb. 12. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 61.92 points, or 0.2%, to 33,981.57, however, dragged down by Procter & Gamble, Walmart and Coca Cola. The consumer staples sector was the biggest loser Monday, falling more than 1%.The decline in consumer companies came amid surging commodity prices, which fueled fears of inflation.Corn futures hit their highest levelin more than seven years in volatile trading, whilecopper climbedto its highest level in nearly a decade. Commodities are a big portion of costs for consumer staples.Bank of America data showed the number of \"inflation\" mentions during earnings calls this reporting season has tripled compared to last year, the biggest jump since 2004 when the bank started tracking the number.With the global economy gradually reopening, firms like Boeing,Fordand Caterpillar are expected to notecost pressures they are facingfrom rising materials and transportation prices when they report earnings this week.\"Inflation is arguably the biggest topic during this earnings season,\" Savita Subramanian,  head of U.S. equity and quantitative strategy at Bank of America, said in a note. \"Raw materials, transportation, labor, etc. were cited as major drivers of inflation and many plan to (or already did) raise prices to pass through higher costs.\"Tesla shares climbed more than 1% ahead of the electric carmaker's earnings report after the bell Monday.About a third of the S&P 500 this week is set to update investors on how their businesses fared during the three months ended March 31. Some of the largest tech companies in the world are scheduled to report results this week, includingApple,Microsoft,AmazonandAlphabet.Corporations have for the most part managed to beat Wall Street's forecasts thus far into earnings season. With 25% of the companies in the S&P 500 reporting first-quarter results, 84% have reported a positive per-share earnings surprise and 77% have topped revenue estimates.\"Growth is still improving and liquidity is still abundant,\" Andrew Sheets, chief cross-asset strategist at Morgan Stanley, said in a note. \"The bull market remains intact, and I struggle to see the type of calamity that defined the summers of 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2015. But a harder, choppier, more range-bound summer does seem likely.\"If 84% is the final percentage, it will tie the mark for the highest percentage of S&P 500 companies reporting a positive EPS surprise since FactSet began tracking this metric in 2008.Still, strong first-quarter results have been met with a mostly lukewarm reception from investors. Strategists say already-high valuations and near-record-high levels on the S&P 500 and Dow have kept traders' enthusiasm in check. Both indexes are within 1% of their all-time highs.\"Despite the strong earnings reports we've seen thus far, the market is really taking beats in stride amid already high valuations,\" said Chris Larkin, managing director of trading and investing product at E-Trade.Data out Monday showed new orders for capital goods rebounded less than expected in March. The Commerce Department said orders for non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft rose 0.9% last month, missing Dow Jones estimates of a 2.2% increase.Equity markets came under pressure last week after multiple outlets reported that Biden will seek toincrease the capital gains taxon wealthy Americans to help pay for the second part of his Build Back Better agenda. The president is expected to detail the $1.8 trillion plan, including spending proposals aimed at worker education and family support, to a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening.The S&P 500 ended the volatile week down 0.13% and snapped a four-week win streak. The Dow and the Nasdaq fell 0.5% and 0.3% last week, respectively.The Federal Reserve, which meets on Tuesday and Wednesday, is expected to defend its policy of letting inflation run hot, while assuring markets it sees the pick-up in prices as only temporary. Chairman Powell will host a press conference Wednesday afternoon to discuss the Federal Open Market Committee's decision.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":458,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379218507,"gmtCreate":1618744031009,"gmtModify":1704714522509,"author":{"id":"3579300323687385","authorId":"3579300323687385","name":"CWONG","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579300323687385","authorIdStr":"3579300323687385"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Expect more countries to ban cryptocurrency, after Turkey.","listText":"Expect more countries to ban cryptocurrency, after Turkey.","text":"Expect more countries to ban cryptocurrency, after Turkey.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379218507","repostId":"1145242426","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1145242426","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":1618579826,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1145242426?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-16 21:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. stocks gained in Friday open.

But when we take a closer look, the price might be justified, as Palantir has a compelling ultra-long-term growth outlook due to a strong position in an absolute growth market. Despite a seemingly very high valuation, Palantir's shares could be a solid long-term investment.</p><p><b>Palantir Is Not A Typical Stock I Like</b></p><p>In general, I am mostly focused on dividend-paying stocks that trade at reasonable or cheap valuations, with some \"growth at a reasonable price\" (GARP) added in. Stocks trading at 100 times forward earnings, or even higher than that, are not at all typical of what I like to write about, and what I personally invest in. I have been quite critical of many stocks that trade at what I believe are too-high valuations. Nevertheless, I see Palantir as a stock that has a lot of potential in the long run, and that seems worthy of consideration, despite a seemingly very high valuation.</p><p>The reasoning for why I like Palantir, despite it trading at a quite high valuation, rests on three main pillars:</p><p><b>1. Palantir is active in an absolute growth market that will grow for decades</b></p><p>Big data, data analysis, and artificial intelligence are not short-term trends that will play out in a couple of years, but rather megatrends that will most likely become ever more important. 20 years from now, 30 years from now, and likely even farther in the future, big data and artificial intelligence will still be growth markets.</p><p><b>2. Palantir has a very clear industry leadership position</b></p><p>Many hyped-up growth companies are active in a highly fought-over market, oftentimes there is no clear, large moat for first-movers and current market leaders. I believe that in Palantir's case, that is not true. The company has developed a wide range of products and offerings for customers that are very unique, and where competition is not looking like a major concern. On top of that, Palantir has established very strong connections with government agencies and the military, which will be hard to replicate for eventual competitors. This does, I believe, result in a high likelihood that Palantir will not only be the leading player in the near term, but that it will retain this position for a long time. I personally am not so sure about the future leadership position of other current hyped-up leaders, including Tesla (TSLA) in EVs, Beyond Meat (BYND) in plant-based meat alternatives, etc.</p><p><b>3. The industry Palantir is active in has great characteristics</b></p><p>Big data and artificial intelligence are not only absolute growth markets, they also, as part of the software/service tech industry, offer a range of highly compelling characteristics. First, the software industry has, on average, very high gross and operating margins. This is, at least partially, the result of relatively low proportional costs, as there is no expensive manufacturing infrastructure needed.High gross margins&nbsp;are one of the common traits shared by companies that are able to deliver strong long-term share price gains.</p><p>The software industry is also capital extensive, which means that free cash flows, on average, are relatively high. There is no need to build out a lot of expensive infrastructure such as manufacturing plants, which translates into attractive free cash generation that can be used for tuck-in acquisitions, debt reduction, etc.</p><p>Third, the software industry overall is not cyclical. As software is an essential part of our daily lives and of doing business, customers don't scale back their use of software during a recession or any other type of crisis. In Palantir's case, where government agencies are a major customer, resilience is even stronger. Compared to many other growth industries, including EVs, renewable energy, etc. these very attractive traits are very pronounced for software companies, including Palantir. As an example of the attractiveness of Palantir's business mode, let's look at its gross margins versus those of other hyped growth stocks:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd5c147cb9babf998cfd35649f4cad22\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Clearly, Palantir is in a class of its own compared to Tesla, Beyond Meat, Peloton (PTON), or Canadian Solar (CSIQ) (as a stand-in for most solar and renewable stocks).</p><p><b>Palantir's Valuation - How High Is It?</b></p><p>Looking at current earnings per share estimates for this year, which stand at $0.16, Palantir is trading for around 150 times this year's earnings. That is, of course, an extremely high valuation in absolute terms.</p><p>However, it should be considered that Palantir is just beginning to generate positive net profits. Shortly after breaking even, net profits can't be expected to be very high yet. But due to two key reasons, Palantir's earnings should grow meaningfully in coming years. First, the nature of the market the company is active in will allow for strong revenue growth going forward. On top of that, thanks to the fact that Palantir generates very high gross margins, each additional dollar of revenue that the company generates in the future should help a lot in improving profitability. When a company like Palantir adds $1 billion in additional sales, that will do a lot more for its bottom line compared to most other companies, that won't see profits grow as much due to lower margins.</p><p>Analysts are thus, not surprisingly, forecasting strong earnings per share growth over the next two years:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f4a7db46186418a049678d1ecf17ff30\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"436\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Whereas Palantir trades for around 150 times this year's earnings, the stock trades for 118 times 2022's earnings, and for 97 times 2023's earnings. Those aren't low valuations at all, but it can make sense to look at how companies such as Netflix (NFLX) or Amazon (AMZN) were valued in their younger days.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8c82732cfdc04638279f1d9e77e9c1e4\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Not too long ago, these companies were trading for 200-300 times net profits, despite having reached a much larger size already. Palantir, with stronger gross margins and a smaller size, is not trading for 200 or even 300 times net earnings. Since we all know that buying Amazon or Netflix five years ago was a great decision, Palantir's current valuation may indeed not be unreasonable.</p><p>When we assume that current estimates for 2023's net earnings are correct, and that Palantir will be able to grow its earnings per share by 25% a year through the 2020s, then net earnings would total $1.23 in 2030. Put a 35 times earnings multiple on that, and shares would be valued at $43, which would lead to annual returns of ~6%.</p><p>A 35 times earnings multiple may be on the conservative side still - after all, even a giant such as Amazon is trading at 72 times earnings today. Palantir may also be able to grow its earnings per share at a higher pace than 25% a year during the 2020s. Lastly, Palantir may be way more profitable in 2023 compared to what analysts are forecasting right now (after all, the company has&nbsp;easily beaten estimates&nbsp;in the past), which would lead to higher EPS in 2030 as well, assuming an unchanged growth rate. In a more bullish scenario, where Palantir earns $0.30 in 2023, grows its EPS by 30% a year through 2030 and trades at 40 times net earnings in 2030, the stock could be worth $75 nine years from now, delivering 200% in that scenario. I'm not saying that this will happen - no one can know that right now. But I believe that, with reasonable assumptions, it can be argued that Palantir's shares may not be all that overpriced right now.</p><p><b>How To Get Into Palantir At A Lower Price</b></p><p>For those that like the company, but that deem shares a little too expensive, selling covered calls or cash-secured puts could be an interesting choice. Due to a high implied volatility, option premiums are quite high. If you buy 100 shares at $25 and sell a $30 call with expiry in June 2022 at $6.30, you effectively entered a position at $18.70, or a 25% discount to the current price. There is a risk of shares getting called away, but even in that scenario, one would still generate a return of 45% ($36.30/$25) in 14 months, which would not at all be unattractive.</p><p>Similarly, entering a position via cash-secured puts (e.g. Jan 2022 puts with a strike price selling for$3.00right now) could be a way to get a sizeable discount versus the current share price.</p><p><b>Takeaway</b></p><p>At first sight, Palantir looks quite expensive, trading for around 150 times net earnings. But when we take a closer look, the above-average quality, strong growth outlook, and great market position, Palantir may well be worth its current price.

But could that be justified?The company looks a lot stronger than many other hyped-up growth stocks when it comes to margins, market positioning, etc.We showcase ways to enter a position in Palantir at a more attractive price.Photo by wildpixel/iStock via Getty ImagesArticle ThesisPalantir (PLTR), at 150 times this year's expected earnings, looks very expensive. But when we take a closer look, the price might be justified, as Palantir has a compelling ultra-long-term growth outlook due to a strong position in an absolute growth market. Despite a seemingly very high valuation, Palantir's shares could be a solid long-term investment.Palantir Is Not A Typical Stock I LikeIn general, I am mostly focused on dividend-paying stocks that trade at reasonable or cheap valuations, with some \"growth at a reasonable price\" (GARP) added in. Stocks trading at 100 times forward earnings, or even higher than that, are not at all typical of what I like to write about, and what I personally invest in. I have been quite critical of many stocks that trade at what I believe are too-high valuations. Nevertheless, I see Palantir as a stock that has a lot of potential in the long run, and that seems worthy of consideration, despite a seemingly very high valuation.The reasoning for why I like Palantir, despite it trading at a quite high valuation, rests on three main pillars:1. Palantir is active in an absolute growth market that will grow for decadesBig data, data analysis, and artificial intelligence are not short-term trends that will play out in a couple of years, but rather megatrends that will most likely become ever more important. 20 years from now, 30 years from now, and likely even farther in the future, big data and artificial intelligence will still be growth markets.2. Palantir has a very clear industry leadership positionMany hyped-up growth companies are active in a highly fought-over market, oftentimes there is no clear, large moat for first-movers and current market leaders. I believe that in Palantir's case, that is not true. The company has developed a wide range of products and offerings for customers that are very unique, and where competition is not looking like a major concern. On top of that, Palantir has established very strong connections with government agencies and the military, which will be hard to replicate for eventual competitors. This does, I believe, result in a high likelihood that Palantir will not only be the leading player in the near term, but that it will retain this position for a long time. I personally am not so sure about the future leadership position of other current hyped-up leaders, including Tesla (TSLA) in EVs, Beyond Meat (BYND) in plant-based meat alternatives, etc.3. The industry Palantir is active in has great characteristicsBig data and artificial intelligence are not only absolute growth markets, they also, as part of the software/service tech industry, offer a range of highly compelling characteristics. First, the software industry has, on average, very high gross and operating margins. This is, at least partially, the result of relatively low proportional costs, as there is no expensive manufacturing infrastructure needed.High gross margins are one of the common traits shared by companies that are able to deliver strong long-term share price gains.The software industry is also capital extensive, which means that free cash flows, on average, are relatively high. There is no need to build out a lot of expensive infrastructure such as manufacturing plants, which translates into attractive free cash generation that can be used for tuck-in acquisitions, debt reduction, etc.Third, the software industry overall is not cyclical. As software is an essential part of our daily lives and of doing business, customers don't scale back their use of software during a recession or any other type of crisis. In Palantir's case, where government agencies are a major customer, resilience is even stronger. Compared to many other growth industries, including EVs, renewable energy, etc. these very attractive traits are very pronounced for software companies, including Palantir. As an example of the attractiveness of Palantir's business mode, let's look at its gross margins versus those of other hyped growth stocks:Data by YChartsClearly, Palantir is in a class of its own compared to Tesla, Beyond Meat, Peloton (PTON), or Canadian Solar (CSIQ) (as a stand-in for most solar and renewable stocks).Palantir's Valuation - How High Is It?Looking at current earnings per share estimates for this year, which stand at $0.16, Palantir is trading for around 150 times this year's earnings. That is, of course, an extremely high valuation in absolute terms.However, it should be considered that Palantir is just beginning to generate positive net profits. Shortly after breaking even, net profits can't be expected to be very high yet. But due to two key reasons, Palantir's earnings should grow meaningfully in coming years. First, the nature of the market the company is active in will allow for strong revenue growth going forward. On top of that, thanks to the fact that Palantir generates very high gross margins, each additional dollar of revenue that the company generates in the future should help a lot in improving profitability. When a company like Palantir adds $1 billion in additional sales, that will do a lot more for its bottom line compared to most other companies, that won't see profits grow as much due to lower margins.Analysts are thus, not surprisingly, forecasting strong earnings per share growth over the next two years:Data by YChartsWhereas Palantir trades for around 150 times this year's earnings, the stock trades for 118 times 2022's earnings, and for 97 times 2023's earnings. Those aren't low valuations at all, but it can make sense to look at how companies such as Netflix (NFLX) or Amazon (AMZN) were valued in their younger days.Data by YChartsNot too long ago, these companies were trading for 200-300 times net profits, despite having reached a much larger size already. Palantir, with stronger gross margins and a smaller size, is not trading for 200 or even 300 times net earnings. Since we all know that buying Amazon or Netflix five years ago was a great decision, Palantir's current valuation may indeed not be unreasonable.When we assume that current estimates for 2023's net earnings are correct, and that Palantir will be able to grow its earnings per share by 25% a year through the 2020s, then net earnings would total $1.23 in 2030. Put a 35 times earnings multiple on that, and shares would be valued at $43, which would lead to annual returns of ~6%.A 35 times earnings multiple may be on the conservative side still - after all, even a giant such as Amazon is trading at 72 times earnings today. Palantir may also be able to grow its earnings per share at a higher pace than 25% a year during the 2020s. Lastly, Palantir may be way more profitable in 2023 compared to what analysts are forecasting right now (after all, the company has easily beaten estimates in the past), which would lead to higher EPS in 2030 as well, assuming an unchanged growth rate. In a more bullish scenario, where Palantir earns $0.30 in 2023, grows its EPS by 30% a year through 2030 and trades at 40 times net earnings in 2030, the stock could be worth $75 nine years from now, delivering 200% in that scenario. I'm not saying that this will happen - no one can know that right now. But I believe that, with reasonable assumptions, it can be argued that Palantir's shares may not be all that overpriced right now.How To Get Into Palantir At A Lower PriceFor those that like the company, but that deem shares a little too expensive, selling covered calls or cash-secured puts could be an interesting choice. Due to a high implied volatility, option premiums are quite high. If you buy 100 shares at $25 and sell a $30 call with expiry in June 2022 at $6.30, you effectively entered a position at $18.70, or a 25% discount to the current price. There is a risk of shares getting called away, but even in that scenario, one would still generate a return of 45% ($36.30/$25) in 14 months, which would not at all be unattractive.Similarly, entering a position via cash-secured puts (e.g. Jan 2022 puts with a strike price selling for$3.00right now) could be a way to get a sizeable discount versus the current share price.TakeawayAt first sight, Palantir looks quite expensive, trading for around 150 times net earnings. But when we take a closer look, the above-average quality, strong growth outlook, and great market position, Palantir may well be worth its current price. I see it as one of the most favorable among the hyped-up growth stocks - which I see as overvalued in most cases - and believe that investors who buy Palantir's shares right here may very well do fine in the long run. I still believe that utilizing option strategies to enter a position at a lower effective price could be a good idea though, as this is highly rewarding thanks to very high option premiums.Palantir looks quite expensive but unlike many other hyped-up names, it could be worth its current valuation, I believe. I believe that the stock is interesting for very long-term oriented investors that want to see Palantir's potential play out over the next decades.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":344,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":370017046,"gmtCreate":1618536147985,"gmtModify":1704712346848,"author":{"id":"3579300323687385","authorId":"3579300323687385","name":"CWONG","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579300323687385","authorIdStr":"3579300323687385"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good!","listText":"Good!","text":"Good!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/370017046","repostId":"1184470866","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":269,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":347618425,"gmtCreate":1618492676067,"gmtModify":1704711663931,"author":{"id":"3579300323687385","authorId":"3579300323687385","name":"CWONG","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579300323687385","authorIdStr":"3579300323687385"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good news!","listText":"Good news!","text":"Good news!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/347618425","repostId":"1125852438","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1125852438","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":1618489140,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1125852438?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-15 20:19","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Toplines Before US Market Open on Thursday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1125852438","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Stocks set to pop on strong earnings reports.Coinbase set to jump after strong but volatile debut.Bo","content":"<ul><li>Stocks set to pop on strong earnings reports.</li><li>Coinbase set to jump after strong but volatile debut.</li><li>BofA top estimates on strong investment banking.</li><li>Bank of America, Coinbase, Dell and more making the biggest moves in the premarket.</li></ul><p>(April 15)&nbsp;Stock futures rose Thursday morning after a mixed session a day earlier, with traders awaiting the next batch of earnings results and a slew of economic data Thursday morning.</p><p>At 8:06 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were up 154 points, or 0.46%, S&amp;P 500 E-minis were up 21 points, or 0.51% and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 97.75 points, or 0.71%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/022b065d6442a2bc57c57febd9087bf8\" tg-width=\"1242\" tg-height=\"500\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">U.S. stock futures roseThursday after better-than-expected earnings results.</p><ul><li>Bank of Americashares rose as earnings last quarter blew past expectations on booming trading and investment banking.</li><li>Pepsi shares gained ground after the consumer snack and drink maker said sales last quarter rose nearly 7%, topping estimates.</li><li>Shares of UnitedHealth, a Dow component, advanced after results topped estimates, and the health insurer raised guidance for 2021.</li></ul><p>On Wednesday, theS&amp;P 500slipped from record levels in volatile trading as tech shares declined.

And Marc Andreessen, head of the venture capital outfit, sits on Coinbase's board.Other factsFor those aiming for an even deeper dive into Coinbase, check out MarketWatch's 5 things to know about the company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":368,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":345225647,"gmtCreate":1618320665489,"gmtModify":1704709084044,"author":{"id":"3579300323687385","authorId":"3579300323687385","name":"CWONG","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579300323687385","authorIdStr":"3579300323687385"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good sign of economy recovery.","listText":"Good sign of economy recovery.","text":"Good sign of economy recovery.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/345225647","repostId":"1170801860","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1170801860","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618317093,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1170801860?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-13 20:31","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. consumer price index rose 0.6% in March, vs 0.5% increase expected","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1170801860","media":"cnbc","summary":"Consumer prices shot higher in March, given a boost both by a strong economic recovery and year-over","content":"<div>\n<p>Consumer prices shot higher in March, given a boost both by a strong economic recovery and year-over-year comparisons to a time when the Covid-19 pandemic was about to throttle the U.S. economy, the ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/13/us-consumer-price-index-march-2021.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The year over year gain is the highest since August 2018.The index was projected to rise 0.5% on a monthly basis and 2.5% from March 2020, according to Dow Jones estimates.That big surge on a year-over-year basis came due to what economists call the “base effect” or the lower level used for comparison. In March 2020, the government had just begun a massive shutdown of U.S. businesses that ultimately would see more than 22 million Americans sent to the unemployment line.Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, increased 0.3% monthly and 1.6% year over year.While the inflation numbers look high, many economists as well as policymakers at the Federal Reserve expect the increase to be temporary. April likely also will show a sharp rise, but then the numbers are supposed to decrease as the worst months of the shutdown fall out of the data comparisons.Fed officials have said they won’t adjust policy based on short-term jumps in inflation readings. Chairman Jerome Powell told “60 Minutes” in an interview aired Sunday evening that he does not expect any interest rate hikes this year.Still, markets have been pricing in higher growth and inflation, with government bond yields rising to their highest levels since before the pandemic. The economic reopening coupled with unprecedented levels of public policy support are contributing to the inflationary environment.Fed officials see growth this year around 6.5%, which would be the fastest increase since 1984.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":159,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":342384283,"gmtCreate":1618185418442,"gmtModify":1704707133567,"author":{"id":"3579300323687385","authorId":"3579300323687385","name":"CWONG","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579300323687385","authorIdStr":"3579300323687385"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good!","listText":"Good!","text":"Good!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/342384283","repostId":"1171495398","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1171495398","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617955432,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1171495398?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-09 16:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"EVs May Have Short Ranges, But NIO Stock Has A Lot Further To Go","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1171495398","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nAt this price, NIO offers a very interesting investment opportunity that many institutional","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>At this price, NIO offers a very interesting investment opportunity that many institutional investors have already seized.</li>\n <li>The company continues to show great growth, advancement in its technology and has the power of the CCP behind it.</li>\n <li>In this article, I compare NIO to Tesla.

I believe NIO Limited (NIO) at today’s price, around $40, offers an incredibly attractive investment opportunity. This company has the growth, investor appreciation, and government help to become one of the main players in the EV space. I predict NIO shares could easily double within the next 6 months.</p>\n<p><b>Company Overview</b></p>\n<p>NIO is mostly known for manufacturing Electric Vehicles; but like its American counterpart, Tesla, Inc. (TSLA), the company also offers battery and charging solutions/services, such as the Power Home, Power Swap, and Public Charger. The company was founded in 2014 under a different name and has been publicly traded since 2018. To begin this article, I would like to address an issue that has been bothering me since the last quarterly report. NIO shares dropped sharply after the last results, and there seemed to be some consensus that they underperformed. This was not my take.</p>\n<p>NIO did miss EPS and revenue estimates. It lost $0.16 per share, which was $0.10 more than Wall Street estimates. It also missed revenue estimates by $20 million, bringing in “only” $1 billion. However, in what could be considered the most important metric, deliveries, it did well, and the latest March results continue to show just how strong NIO’s growth is:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a1666a8eadd346167bff78e38fdf4277\" tg-width=\"904\" tg-height=\"478\"><span>Source: NIO Investor Relations</span></p>\n<p>Even amid a pandemic and with the Chinese New Year in the way, NIO increased deliveries by over 100% YoY and 50% QoQ. In March, NIO delivered 7257 vehicles, increasing by 373% YoY.</p>\n<p>Looking at these numbers, it is hard to believe that only a month ago NIO was trading a good 30% higher than today. But the smart money knows that this is a buying opportunity. In March, Norges Bank, the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund,increased its stake in NIO&nbsp;by almost 5000%.</p>\n<p><b>What sets NIO apart</b></p>\n<p>Many people agree that EVs will be one of the hottest sectors in 2021-2022, but there are still many companies in this area to choose from. I argue in this section that NIO has the best prospects considering growth, valuation, and the regulatory environment.</p>\n<p><b>Don’t fear China</b></p>\n<p>This has been a long-standing claim of mine, and something that I&nbsp;discussed more in-depthin this Alibaba Group Holdings (BABA) article. Some investors will always claim that investing in China is “too risky”. The financial media is full of noise, and part of being an effective investor means blocking it out. While there are certainly “dodgy” companies in China, the same can be said of U.S. companies. Plug Power (PLUG), for example, had to restate its latest financial results due to accounting concerns, something that companies like NIO and BABA have not had to do. It is up to everyone to do their due diligence.</p>\n<p>I feel that investing in Chinese companies makes sense. China is already on track to dethrone the U.S. as the biggest economy in the world. The pandemic may have&nbsp;accelerated this shift. On top of that, China has expressed a commitment towards moving towards EVs.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a9da37fd937691e9a7bd4864e3370277\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"648\"><span>Source: McKinsey Report</span></p>\n<p>As we can see, McKinsey’s estimates show that China’s EV market was three times the size of the United States and Europe and has grown at a much faster rate. On a final note, if you are concerned that China will do something to hurt EVs, perhaps it is Tesla you should be worried about. While Tesla does produce in Shanghai, it is an American company, and if push comes to shove, I do believe the CCP will protect NIO before it does Tesla.</p>\n<p><b>Technology and Supply</b></p>\n<p>Unlike many of the new names in the speculative EV space, NIO has a proven track record of making cars that work well and can compete with Tesla in terms of price and efficiency. On the latest battery day, NIO announced that by the fourth quarter of 2022, its&nbsp;solid-state 150kWh batteries&nbsp;will be available. This should allow older models to get a range of 528-566 miles and the NIO ET7 up to 620 miles. While there are other factors to take into account with this technology, and we are talking about something that is more than a year away, bear in mind that Tesla’s Model S has about 400 miles of range.</p>\n<p>Speaking of batteries, it is a well-known fact that these components require raw materials, of which nickel stands out. Over the past few years, nickel’s price and demand have risen considerably, but in a great turn of events for EV manufacturers, and more so NIO, the Chinese are now&nbsp;converting low-grade nickel(NPI) into nickel matte, which has around 65-75% nickel content. Prices have dropped sharply since this news was announced on March 5th, and due to its connections with China and geographical location, NIO is set to benefit the most from this.</p>\n<p>Lastly, I am quite optimistic about NIO’s inroads in Autonomous Driving technology. NIO has partnered with Intel's (INTC) Mobileye which I believe has&nbsp;one of the best technologies&nbsp;out there for Autonomous Driving. The latest NIO model, the ET7, alreadyfeatures this technology, and there is even talk that NIO could offer this technology as a service, potentially making it a great software company too.</p>\n<p><b>Financial health and ratios</b></p>\n<p>I am bullish on the EV sector and have exposure to a few companies in it. Having said this, NIO is in my opinion the best option in terms of overall growth and financial health.</p>\n<p>In the table below, I compare NIO and Tesla today in terms of growth, profitability, financial health, and valuation.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dd8619f37eefb8adaf313a3c0e11b38c\" tg-width=\"726\" tg-height=\"698\"><span>Data Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>First off, NIO is by far the best company in terms of growth, both past and future. This is backed up by our prior analysis of the Chinese economy. The main snag with NIO is its profitability. Both the EBIT and EBITDA margins are negative, while Tesla has achieved profitability in the last year. However, this is something to expect with a growth company. The main issue here would be that, since NIO loses money, its financial health may be compromised, but this is not the case right now. NIO has the stronger balance sheet with the highest current and quick ratio, and the lowest proportion of long-term debt/capital.</p>\n<p>In terms of valuation ratios, NIO does trade at similar though slightly lower valuations than Tesla. Price to Book is significantly lower, which I like.</p>\n<p><b>NIO: Following the footsteps of Tesla?</b></p>\n<p>Without a doubt, I’d say NIO and Tesla have become the most representative companies in the EV sector. Both have some differences, but overall they offer a similar product and address a similar market. Both offer cars that run on electricity using battery technology and price ranges for their cars start at around $60,000. Both NIO and Tesla benefit directly from government subsidies; Tesla through regulatory credits, while NIO has received direct investment from the government, which is also spending a lot on developing the necessary infrastructure to make EVs viable in China.</p>\n<p>Putting a price on NIO (or Tesla) is very hard because many factors are coming into play. However, one interesting hypothesis would be to assume that NIO can achieve similar growth and operating performance as Tesla did during a similar period in relation to when it was founded. The idea here is that since NIO is in a way a “newer version of Tesla”, we can use the past performance of the latter as an indication of where NIO could be heading in terms of growth and profitability.</p>\n<p>I would label this as a conservative hypothesis since the arguments made above are strong indications that NIO could be set to outperform Tesla. Key differences are the fact that Chinese demand is stronger, and profitability could improve thanks to the BaaS model and government subsidies. Also, both NIO and Tesla are and will be even closer to reaping the benefits of AI and driverless technology in the next few years.</p>\n<p>Now let us imagine that NIO does evolve in a similar way to Tesla in terms of its growth and operations. If we look at Tesla’s operations in numbers, we see that as revenue has been growing at a fast pace, gross margin has remained relatively stable, while SG&amp;A cost and investment in R&amp;D have been diminishing gradually, proportional to revenue. The following chart shows the evolution of these items over the last 10 years, as can be found on the public financial statements.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b19f77053dbeaced14e1becfcde6385c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"164\"><span>Source: Author’s work and public financial records. Items in millions of USD. Percentages refer to percentage of revenue.</span></p>\n<p>We are going to use a recent EV/Operating Income multiple to get an idea of how NIO could evolve in future years. For that purpose, the following chart estimates Enterprise Value by adding total debt at the end of the year to the approximate market capitalization. It is approximate because we are combining the number of shares outstanding in December, as per the latest financial statements released, with the share price at the end of the following March, coinciding with the time of analysis.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ae06a34fb5ce5c1d1ca017f83ced7a53\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"104\"><span>Source: Author’s work and public financial records. Items in millions of USD except multiples and share price.</span></p>\n<p>We can see that the EV/Operating Income multiple was negative for most of the time while Operating Income was negative and peaked in 2019. The 2019 figure is not very relevant, as operations had just about broken even. We will focus on the multiple in 2020, of just over 300.</p>\n<p>Moving on to NIO, our hypothetical exercise of placing it in Tesla’s path brings us to a 7-year difference, with NIO’s 2020 resembling Tesla’s 2013 the most. The following chart shows NIO’s operations in numbers, from 2018 to 2020, adding what the next 7 years could look like if they follow a similar path. The revenue has been estimated based on a smoother version of Tesla’s actual revenue figures, with the relative gross margin and operating expenses evolving gradually to Tesla’s current levels, reaching a similar level in 2027 to Tesla’s 2020. Actual figures are in pink with hypothetical figures in blue. You also have a chart showing the function we used for the revenue path.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/036b835e6d31f3f5fc7162b7169bf9ad\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"163\"></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9140b53c3d81a69e9c08f6c092a1c74e\" tg-width=\"386\" tg-height=\"221\"><span>Source: Author’s work and public financial records. Items in millions of USD. Percentages refer to percentage of revenue.</span></p>\n<p>If we compare the two companies for the first three years (2018 to 2020 for NIO and 2011 to 2013 for Tesla), we see that NIO is a little ahead in revenue and a little behind on margins, but on an improving trajectory.</p>\n<p>Finally, we will use Tesla’s current EV/Operating Income multiple (as we calculated before) to estimate NIO’s potential share price in 7 years. It is impossible to predict how NIO will be financed so far into the future, so we will imagine that along the way they are subjected to the same degree of dilution as Tesla’s shares (same relative increase in the number of shares outstanding) and a similar evolution of the debt to sales ratio. The chart below shows you how this would look by 2027, with a potential share price of over 318. We have skipped the years in between to avoid unnecessary detail in speculation. You also have a chart showing the function we used to estimate total debt in 2027.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6b0a6abb6d5846ca855032eb5dac7450\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"104\"></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8b74138a3220270b3c9b252be8c023d7\" tg-width=\"385\" tg-height=\"223\"><span>Source: Author’s work and public financial records. Items in millions of USD except multiples and share price.</span></p>\n<p>Finally, with a share price of $318 in 7 years, we have made a simple chart matching a series of hypothetical returns from appreciation over the period for a series of potential current/near future prices, with the current price between the $37-$41 range offering 34-36% return. As you can see, the article thesis that the price could double in the short run would still leave room for a performance above 20%, given this hypothesis.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/726697a034157b8302101a5e3990aea5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"1162\"><span>Source: Author’s work.</span></p>\n<p><b>Risks</b></p>\n<p>With all this in mind, it is important to note some significant risks to NIO’s bull thesis. For starters, this is an incredibly competitive space. NIO doesn’t just compete with new EV companies but, as I mentioned before, also competes with many of the old and established carmakers that are perfectly capable of making EVs, have established brands and much larger production capacities.

Given how the latter has evolved in terms of price and operating performance, NIO could double in the next few months.\n\nThesis Summary\nThe recent sell-off in technology stocks has given us some very attractive stock prices. I believe NIO Limited (NIO) at today’s price, around $40, offers an incredibly attractive investment opportunity. This company has the growth, investor appreciation, and government help to become one of the main players in the EV space. I predict NIO shares could easily double within the next 6 months.\nCompany Overview\nNIO is mostly known for manufacturing Electric Vehicles; but like its American counterpart, Tesla, Inc. (TSLA), the company also offers battery and charging solutions/services, such as the Power Home, Power Swap, and Public Charger. The company was founded in 2014 under a different name and has been publicly traded since 2018. To begin this article, I would like to address an issue that has been bothering me since the last quarterly report. NIO shares dropped sharply after the last results, and there seemed to be some consensus that they underperformed. This was not my take.\nNIO did miss EPS and revenue estimates. It lost $0.16 per share, which was $0.10 more than Wall Street estimates. It also missed revenue estimates by $20 million, bringing in “only” $1 billion. However, in what could be considered the most important metric, deliveries, it did well, and the latest March results continue to show just how strong NIO’s growth is:\nSource: NIO Investor Relations\nEven amid a pandemic and with the Chinese New Year in the way, NIO increased deliveries by over 100% YoY and 50% QoQ. In March, NIO delivered 7257 vehicles, increasing by 373% YoY.\nLooking at these numbers, it is hard to believe that only a month ago NIO was trading a good 30% higher than today. But the smart money knows that this is a buying opportunity. In March, Norges Bank, the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund,increased its stake in NIO by almost 5000%.\nWhat sets NIO apart\nMany people agree that EVs will be one of the hottest sectors in 2021-2022, but there are still many companies in this area to choose from. I argue in this section that NIO has the best prospects considering growth, valuation, and the regulatory environment.\nDon’t fear China\nThis has been a long-standing claim of mine, and something that I discussed more in-depthin this Alibaba Group Holdings (BABA) article. Some investors will always claim that investing in China is “too risky”. The financial media is full of noise, and part of being an effective investor means blocking it out. While there are certainly “dodgy” companies in China, the same can be said of U.S. companies. Plug Power (PLUG), for example, had to restate its latest financial results due to accounting concerns, something that companies like NIO and BABA have not had to do. It is up to everyone to do their due diligence.\nI feel that investing in Chinese companies makes sense. China is already on track to dethrone the U.S. as the biggest economy in the world. The pandemic may have accelerated this shift. On top of that, China has expressed a commitment towards moving towards EVs.\nSource: McKinsey Report\nAs we can see, McKinsey’s estimates show that China’s EV market was three times the size of the United States and Europe and has grown at a much faster rate. On a final note, if you are concerned that China will do something to hurt EVs, perhaps it is Tesla you should be worried about. While Tesla does produce in Shanghai, it is an American company, and if push comes to shove, I do believe the CCP will protect NIO before it does Tesla.\nTechnology and Supply\nUnlike many of the new names in the speculative EV space, NIO has a proven track record of making cars that work well and can compete with Tesla in terms of price and efficiency. On the latest battery day, NIO announced that by the fourth quarter of 2022, its solid-state 150kWh batteries will be available. This should allow older models to get a range of 528-566 miles and the NIO ET7 up to 620 miles. While there are other factors to take into account with this technology, and we are talking about something that is more than a year away, bear in mind that Tesla’s Model S has about 400 miles of range.\nSpeaking of batteries, it is a well-known fact that these components require raw materials, of which nickel stands out. Over the past few years, nickel’s price and demand have risen considerably, but in a great turn of events for EV manufacturers, and more so NIO, the Chinese are now converting low-grade nickel(NPI) into nickel matte, which has around 65-75% nickel content. Prices have dropped sharply since this news was announced on March 5th, and due to its connections with China and geographical location, NIO is set to benefit the most from this.\nLastly, I am quite optimistic about NIO’s inroads in Autonomous Driving technology. NIO has partnered with Intel's (INTC) Mobileye which I believe has one of the best technologies out there for Autonomous Driving. The latest NIO model, the ET7, alreadyfeatures this technology, and there is even talk that NIO could offer this technology as a service, potentially making it a great software company too.\nFinancial health and ratios\nI am bullish on the EV sector and have exposure to a few companies in it. Having said this, NIO is in my opinion the best option in terms of overall growth and financial health.\nIn the table below, I compare NIO and Tesla today in terms of growth, profitability, financial health, and valuation.\nData Source: Seeking Alpha\nFirst off, NIO is by far the best company in terms of growth, both past and future. This is backed up by our prior analysis of the Chinese economy. The main snag with NIO is its profitability. Both the EBIT and EBITDA margins are negative, while Tesla has achieved profitability in the last year. However, this is something to expect with a growth company. The main issue here would be that, since NIO loses money, its financial health may be compromised, but this is not the case right now. NIO has the stronger balance sheet with the highest current and quick ratio, and the lowest proportion of long-term debt/capital.\nIn terms of valuation ratios, NIO does trade at similar though slightly lower valuations than Tesla. Price to Book is significantly lower, which I like.\nNIO: Following the footsteps of Tesla?\nWithout a doubt, I’d say NIO and Tesla have become the most representative companies in the EV sector. Both have some differences, but overall they offer a similar product and address a similar market. Both offer cars that run on electricity using battery technology and price ranges for their cars start at around $60,000. Both NIO and Tesla benefit directly from government subsidies; Tesla through regulatory credits, while NIO has received direct investment from the government, which is also spending a lot on developing the necessary infrastructure to make EVs viable in China.\nPutting a price on NIO (or Tesla) is very hard because many factors are coming into play. However, one interesting hypothesis would be to assume that NIO can achieve similar growth and operating performance as Tesla did during a similar period in relation to when it was founded. The idea here is that since NIO is in a way a “newer version of Tesla”, we can use the past performance of the latter as an indication of where NIO could be heading in terms of growth and profitability.\nI would label this as a conservative hypothesis since the arguments made above are strong indications that NIO could be set to outperform Tesla. Key differences are the fact that Chinese demand is stronger, and profitability could improve thanks to the BaaS model and government subsidies. Also, both NIO and Tesla are and will be even closer to reaping the benefits of AI and driverless technology in the next few years.\nNow let us imagine that NIO does evolve in a similar way to Tesla in terms of its growth and operations. If we look at Tesla’s operations in numbers, we see that as revenue has been growing at a fast pace, gross margin has remained relatively stable, while SG&A cost and investment in R&D have been diminishing gradually, proportional to revenue. The following chart shows the evolution of these items over the last 10 years, as can be found on the public financial statements.\nSource: Author’s work and public financial records. Items in millions of USD. Percentages refer to percentage of revenue.\nWe are going to use a recent EV/Operating Income multiple to get an idea of how NIO could evolve in future years. For that purpose, the following chart estimates Enterprise Value by adding total debt at the end of the year to the approximate market capitalization. It is approximate because we are combining the number of shares outstanding in December, as per the latest financial statements released, with the share price at the end of the following March, coinciding with the time of analysis.\nSource: Author’s work and public financial records. Items in millions of USD except multiples and share price.\nWe can see that the EV/Operating Income multiple was negative for most of the time while Operating Income was negative and peaked in 2019. The 2019 figure is not very relevant, as operations had just about broken even. We will focus on the multiple in 2020, of just over 300.\nMoving on to NIO, our hypothetical exercise of placing it in Tesla’s path brings us to a 7-year difference, with NIO’s 2020 resembling Tesla’s 2013 the most. The following chart shows NIO’s operations in numbers, from 2018 to 2020, adding what the next 7 years could look like if they follow a similar path. The revenue has been estimated based on a smoother version of Tesla’s actual revenue figures, with the relative gross margin and operating expenses evolving gradually to Tesla’s current levels, reaching a similar level in 2027 to Tesla’s 2020. Actual figures are in pink with hypothetical figures in blue. You also have a chart showing the function we used for the revenue path.\n\nSource: Author’s work and public financial records. Items in millions of USD. Percentages refer to percentage of revenue.\nIf we compare the two companies for the first three years (2018 to 2020 for NIO and 2011 to 2013 for Tesla), we see that NIO is a little ahead in revenue and a little behind on margins, but on an improving trajectory.\nFinally, we will use Tesla’s current EV/Operating Income multiple (as we calculated before) to estimate NIO’s potential share price in 7 years. It is impossible to predict how NIO will be financed so far into the future, so we will imagine that along the way they are subjected to the same degree of dilution as Tesla’s shares (same relative increase in the number of shares outstanding) and a similar evolution of the debt to sales ratio. The chart below shows you how this would look by 2027, with a potential share price of over 318. We have skipped the years in between to avoid unnecessary detail in speculation. You also have a chart showing the function we used to estimate total debt in 2027.\n\nSource: Author’s work and public financial records. Items in millions of USD except multiples and share price.\nFinally, with a share price of $318 in 7 years, we have made a simple chart matching a series of hypothetical returns from appreciation over the period for a series of potential current/near future prices, with the current price between the $37-$41 range offering 34-36% return. As you can see, the article thesis that the price could double in the short run would still leave room for a performance above 20%, given this hypothesis.\nSource: Author’s work.\nRisks\nWith all this in mind, it is important to note some significant risks to NIO’s bull thesis. For starters, this is an incredibly competitive space. NIO doesn’t just compete with new EV companies but, as I mentioned before, also competes with many of the old and established carmakers that are perfectly capable of making EVs, have established brands and much larger production capacities. On that note, it is also important to point out that NIO doesn’t yet have a factory of its own, which can be seen as both good and bad, but it poses a risk to its growth.\nFurthermore, while I previously mentioned the new batteries that NIO is producing, overall I believe that Tesla will keep the upper hand in this technology. In an insightful video by Cleanerwatt, the author argues that while NIO batteries will have more energy density, Tesla’s batteries are much more weight-efficient.\nSource: YouTube\nThis is important, but we must also take into account that there is a limit to how powerful these batteries need to be. For now, the range is the biggest issue with EVs, but it won’t be in the future and I believe both NIO and Tesla will work their way around this well enough.\nLastly, there are still lingering and real concerns over the supply of semiconductors, of which we have had shortages in the last few months. NIO’s main calling point right now is growth, and that growth could be severely halted if the chip shortages persist and relationships between China and the U.S. continue to sour. Overall, I believe the Taiwan situation is overhyped, but this is a whole other issue I will have to address in a different article. Nonetheless, the threat is there and some investors are easily spooked.\nTakeaway\nIn conclusion, there are compelling reasons to believe that NIO could become a key player in the fast-growing EV market in the coming years. If NIO can perform similar to Tesla, the stock should provide investors with significant returns. If anything though, I’d expect NIO to be able to outperform Tesla’s past performance. One could argue that Tesla had a first-mover advantage, but this has also been detrimental to its business. Tesla had to essentially create the EV market and invest billions into infrastructure to make its business model possible. In a way, Tesla has paved the way for NIO and made it much easier for them to enter the market.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":89,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":341192134,"gmtCreate":1617789735128,"gmtModify":1704703155612,"author":{"id":"3579300323687385","authorId":"3579300323687385","name":"CWONG","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579300323687385","authorIdStr":"3579300323687385"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"3 months later possible, but guess not within this month.&nbsp;","listText":"3 months later possible, but guess not within this month.&nbsp;","text":"3 months later possible, but guess not within this month.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/341192134","repostId":"1108754268","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":254,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":341198125,"gmtCreate":1617789520767,"gmtModify":1704703153010,"author":{"id":"3579300323687385","authorId":"3579300323687385","name":"CWONG","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579300323687385","authorIdStr":"3579300323687385"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Need exciting news for price to up.&nbsp;","listText":"Need exciting news for price to up.&nbsp;","text":"Need exciting news for price to up.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/341198125","repostId":"1172555990","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1172555990","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617763018,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1172555990?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-07 10:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Stock At $175 or $83?

Three Wall Street analysts believe that either outcome is plausible. Here are the paths that could propel shares to the moon or send them crashing down.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Wall Street analysts seem to agree, on average, that Apple stock is a strong buy. But around the consensus price target of $150 per share, estimates vary widely: from $83 at the bearish end to $175 at the bullish end of the spectrum.</p>\n<p>What might justify Apple stock rising nearly 40% to reach the most optimistic of price targets? On the flip side, what are the key risks to Apple stock tanking about 30% towards the bottom of the well? These are questions that the Apple Maven will explore today.</p>\n<p><b>iPhone super cycle</b></p>\n<p>The Wall Street bulls in question are two: Wedbush’s Dan Ives and Evercore ISI’s Amit Daryanani. Although both see the same upside to investing in Apple shares today, the analysts approach the bullish case from different angles.</p>\n<p>Wedbushplacesthe iPhone at the center of the investment thesis. The analyst believes fervently in the 5G super cycle, arguing that just about 40% of Apple’s smartphone installed base is currently overdue for an upgrade. Greater China,a struggling geographic segmentfor the past five years, represents a sizable rebounding opportunity.</p>\n<p>The research shop offers numbers to support the argument. Dan Ives sees Apple shipping as many as 250 million iPhone units in the current year, which is roughly 15% more than consensus. Holding all other variables constant, including average prices and margins, I estimate that 2021 iPhone sales at these levels could account for up to one-fourth of the stock price upside.</p>\n<p>Wedbush looks beyond the current year, andsees in the upcoming iPhone 13an important follow up to the “5G party”. Demand for the new device should be boosted by product features, including a 1 terabyte storage model, and the buildout of 5G networks across the globe.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Car, services and wearables opportunities</b></p>\n<p>Wedbush’s Dan Ives shares at least one thing in common with Evercore ISI’s Amit Daryanani: a belief that the long-awaited Apple Car could be a catalyst for further stock price appreciation.</p>\n<p>Dan offers some figures to explain his bullishness. According to him, the EV (electric vehicle) market could reach $5 trillion over the next decade. Should Apple announce a production partner by the summer, as Wedbush believes will be the case, the Cupertino company could begin to capitalize on the opportunity soon.</p>\n<p>Amit, on the other hand, dives deeper into another couple of high-growth businesses for Apple: services and wearables.The analyst sees“a clear path to $100 billion in services revenue by fiscal 2025 and $70 billion for wearables. The growth should help drive margin expansion and help smooth out the cyclical nature of the hardware business”.</p>\n<p>Should these two segments expand as Evercore ISI believes they will, both combined would more than double in size in five years, with margin expansion potential. It is not a stretch to see Apple stock rising 40% in 12 months if the rest of the market begins to see these growth opportunities the same way.</p>\n<p><b>This ship is going down!</b></p>\n<p>Despite plenty of Wall Street love, Apple stock also has its bears. None is more pessimistic about investing in the Cupertino company’s shares than Goldman Sachs’ Rod Hall, whobelieves that the stock has over 30% downside risk.</p>\n<p>At the core of the analyst’s bearish thesis is the services segment. Rod argues that a post-pandemic world could be highly disruptive to service revenues, as consumers choose offscreen entertainment after nearly 18 months of being confined at home.</p>\n<p>Still within services, Goldman believes that Apple TV+ could see users flock as the one-year free trial period ends, in July 2021. This would be a blow to a company that is still trying to become a more relevant player in the ultra-competitive streaming video space.</p>\n<p>Lastly, the analyst believes that the iPhone 12 resembles a “redesign cycle” rather than a more meaningful “5G super cycle”. As a result, iPhone replacement rates should be low in 2021, and average selling prices could drop as well.</p>\n<p><b>Twitter speaks</b></p>\n<p>Not long ago, I asked users on Twitter if they wereconcerned about the downside risk in Apple stock.

Three Wall Street analysts believe that either outcome is plausible. Here are the paths that could propel shares to the moon or send them crashing down.\n\nWall Street analysts seem to agree, on average, that Apple stock is a strong buy. But around the consensus price target of $150 per share, estimates vary widely: from $83 at the bearish end to $175 at the bullish end of the spectrum.\nWhat might justify Apple stock rising nearly 40% to reach the most optimistic of price targets? On the flip side, what are the key risks to Apple stock tanking about 30% towards the bottom of the well? These are questions that the Apple Maven will explore today.\niPhone super cycle\nThe Wall Street bulls in question are two: Wedbush’s Dan Ives and Evercore ISI’s Amit Daryanani. Although both see the same upside to investing in Apple shares today, the analysts approach the bullish case from different angles.\nWedbushplacesthe iPhone at the center of the investment thesis. The analyst believes fervently in the 5G super cycle, arguing that just about 40% of Apple’s smartphone installed base is currently overdue for an upgrade. Greater China,a struggling geographic segmentfor the past five years, represents a sizable rebounding opportunity.\nThe research shop offers numbers to support the argument. Dan Ives sees Apple shipping as many as 250 million iPhone units in the current year, which is roughly 15% more than consensus. Holding all other variables constant, including average prices and margins, I estimate that 2021 iPhone sales at these levels could account for up to one-fourth of the stock price upside.\nWedbush looks beyond the current year, andsees in the upcoming iPhone 13an important follow up to the “5G party”. Demand for the new device should be boosted by product features, including a 1 terabyte storage model, and the buildout of 5G networks across the globe.\nApple Car, services and wearables opportunities\nWedbush’s Dan Ives shares at least one thing in common with Evercore ISI’s Amit Daryanani: a belief that the long-awaited Apple Car could be a catalyst for further stock price appreciation.\nDan offers some figures to explain his bullishness. According to him, the EV (electric vehicle) market could reach $5 trillion over the next decade. Should Apple announce a production partner by the summer, as Wedbush believes will be the case, the Cupertino company could begin to capitalize on the opportunity soon.\nAmit, on the other hand, dives deeper into another couple of high-growth businesses for Apple: services and wearables.The analyst sees“a clear path to $100 billion in services revenue by fiscal 2025 and $70 billion for wearables. The growth should help drive margin expansion and help smooth out the cyclical nature of the hardware business”.\nShould these two segments expand as Evercore ISI believes they will, both combined would more than double in size in five years, with margin expansion potential. It is not a stretch to see Apple stock rising 40% in 12 months if the rest of the market begins to see these growth opportunities the same way.\nThis ship is going down!\nDespite plenty of Wall Street love, Apple stock also has its bears. None is more pessimistic about investing in the Cupertino company’s shares than Goldman Sachs’ Rod Hall, whobelieves that the stock has over 30% downside risk.\nAt the core of the analyst’s bearish thesis is the services segment. Rod argues that a post-pandemic world could be highly disruptive to service revenues, as consumers choose offscreen entertainment after nearly 18 months of being confined at home.\nStill within services, Goldman believes that Apple TV+ could see users flock as the one-year free trial period ends, in July 2021. This would be a blow to a company that is still trying to become a more relevant player in the ultra-competitive streaming video space.\nLastly, the analyst believes that the iPhone 12 resembles a “redesign cycle” rather than a more meaningful “5G super cycle”. As a result, iPhone replacement rates should be low in 2021, and average selling prices could drop as well.\nTwitter speaks\nNot long ago, I asked users on Twitter if they wereconcerned about the downside risk in Apple stock. Now, I turn the question around: what key driver could send shares towards the $175 bullish price target?

Amazon</h2>\n<p>It's pretty hard for investors to go wrong when you're buying into the most dominant retail platform in the world's No. 1 economy, which happens to be dependent on consumption.</p><div></div>\n<p>According to a March 2020 report from eMarketer, <strong>Amazon</strong> <span>(NASDAQ:AMZN)</span> was expected to pick up another 100 basis points of U.S. online retail market share in 2021. If accurate, this'll mean that roughly $0.40 of every $1 spent online in the U.S. will be routed through Amazon.</p>\n<p>The company's sheer dominance online has helped it attract well over 150 million Prime users. The fees Amazon collects from Prime help it to undercut brick-and-mortar stores on price. Furthermore, Prime users spend many times more each year than non-Prime customers, and they're more inclined to stay within Amazon's ecosystem of products and services.</p>\n<p>Although retail margins are often minimal, Amazon also has its cloud infrastructure service segment, Amazon Web Services (AWS), to lean on. AWS grew sales by 30% in 2020 (that is, during the worst economic downturn in decades), and it's shown little sign of slowing down.

However, electric utility stock <strong>NextEra Energy</strong> <span>(NYSE:NEE)</span> aims to remove the stigma of being boring.</p><div></div>\n<p>What makes NextEra such a stand-up stock to own in a Biden bull market is its focus on renewable energy. No utility in the country is currently generating more capacity from solar or wind power. Investing so heavily in green-energy projects has helped the company stay ahead of whatever clean-energy legislation might be working its way through Washington, and it's boosted the company's compound annual growth rate to the high single digits for more than a decade.</p>\n<p>NextEra isn't done, either. It's set aside $50 billion to $55 billion for infrastructure projects (mostly renewable energy) between 2020 and 2022, and has ambitious plans to install 30 million solar panels in Florida by 2030 (the \"30-by-30\" project), which'll generate around 10,000 megawatts of additional capacity.</p>\n<p>The Biden administration has made no secret of wanting to tackle climate change with a focus on renewable energy.

Meanwhile, the nation's central bank will continue its monthly bond-buying efforts to keep lending rates at or near historic lows. With ample access to cheap capital, businesses and stocks are poised to thrive.\nHowever, investing in a Biden bull market doesn't mean you have to take outlandish risks. The following five safe stocks would be perfect for investors who want to see their initial investment grow, without the wild volatility we've been accustomed to over the past year.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\n\n1. Amazon\nIt's pretty hard for investors to go wrong when you're buying into the most dominant retail platform in the world's No. 1 economy, which happens to be dependent on consumption.\nAccording to a March 2020 report from eMarketer, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) was expected to pick up another 100 basis points of U.S. online retail market share in 2021. If accurate, this'll mean that roughly $0.40 of every $1 spent online in the U.S. will be routed through Amazon.\nThe company's sheer dominance online has helped it attract well over 150 million Prime users. The fees Amazon collects from Prime help it to undercut brick-and-mortar stores on price. Furthermore, Prime users spend many times more each year than non-Prime customers, and they're more inclined to stay within Amazon's ecosystem of products and services.\nAlthough retail margins are often minimal, Amazon also has its cloud infrastructure service segment, Amazon Web Services (AWS), to lean on. AWS grew sales by 30% in 2020 (that is, during the worst economic downturn in decades), and it's shown little sign of slowing down. With margins that trounce traditional retail, AWS is Amazon's true moneymaker.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\n\n2. NextEra Energy\nWhen you think of utility stocks, \"safe\" and \"boring\" may well be the two words that come to mind. However, electric utility stock NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE) aims to remove the stigma of being boring.\nWhat makes NextEra such a stand-up stock to own in a Biden bull market is its focus on renewable energy.

This puts NextEra Energy's operating model squarely in focus, and for all the right reasons.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\n\n3.

It had another 500 million unique visitors going to Instagram or WhatsApp on a monthly basis.

After the benchmark<b>S&amp;P 500</b>(SNPINDEX:^GSPC)lost a third of its value in mere weeks due to unprecedented uncertainties surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, it bounced back to gain in the neighborhood of 75% off its lows. You could rightly say that patience has paid off.</p>\n<p>But there's another reality that investors -- especially long-term investors -- are keenly aware of: the propensity of the stock market to crash or correct. Things might look great now, but the next big nosedive is always waiting in the wings.</p>\n<p>It begs the question: How likely is astock market crash? Let's take a closer look.</p>\n<p><b>Double-digit declines occur every 1.87 years, on average</b></p>\n<p>To begin with the basics, stock market corrections (i.e., declines of at least 10%) are quite common in the S&amp;P 500. According to data from market analytics firm Yardeni Research, there have been 38 corrections in the S&amp;P 500 since the beginning of 1950. This works out to an average double-digit decline in the benchmark indexevery 1.87 years. Since it's now been more than a year since the market hit its bear-market bottom, the averages are certainly not in investors' favor.</p>\n<p>However, averages are nothing more than that... averages. The market doesn't adhere to averages, even if some folks base their investments off of what's happened historically.</p>\n<p>We could enter a period similar to 1991 through 1996 where there were zero corrections. Or we could continue the theme since the beginning of 2010, where corrections occur, on average, every 19 months.</p>\n<p><b>Corrections have been an historical given within three years of a bear market bottom</b></p>\n<p>Another interesting piece of evidence to examine is the frequency by which the S&amp;P 500 corrects after hitting a bear-market bottom.</p>\n<p>Since the beginning of 1960 (an arbitrary year I chose for the sake of simplicity), the widely followed index has navigated its way through nine bear markets, including the coronavirus crash. In rebounding from each of the previous eight bear market lows, there was at least one double-digit percentage decline within three years100% of the time. In aggregate, 13 corrections have occurred within three years following the last eight bear market bottoms (i.e., either one or two following each bottom).</p>\n<p>Put another way, rebounding from a bear-market bottom is rarely a straight-line move higher. Yet up, up, and away has pretty much been the theme for investors since March 23, 2020. History would suggest that there's a very good chance of a move lower in equities within the next two years.</p>\n<p><b>Crashes frequently occur when this valuation metric is hit</b></p>\n<p>But the most damning bit of evidence might just be the S&amp;P 500's Shiller price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. This is a valuation metric that examines the average inflation-adjusted earnings from the previous 10 years. You might also know it as the cyclically adjusted P/E ratio, or CAPE.</p>\n<p>As of the close of business on March 30, the S&amp;P 500's Shiller P/E ratio hit 35.61. That's well over double its 150-year average of 16.8. Using continuous bull market moves as a parameter, it's the second-highest reading in its history.</p>\n<p>To some extent, itmakes sensethat equity valuations should be higher now than they've been historically. That's because interest rates are near an all-time low and access to the internet has effectively broken down barriers between Wall Street and Main Street that may have, in the past, kept P/E multiples at bay.</p>\n<p>However, previous instances of the S&amp;P 500's Shiller P/E ratio crossing above and sustaining the 30 levelhaven't ended well. In the prior four instances where the Shiller P/E surpassed and held above 30, the benchmark index tumbled anywhere from 20% to as much as 89%. Although an 89% plunge, which was experienced during the Great Depression, is very unlikely these days, a big drop has historically been in the cards when valuations get extended, as they are now.</p>\n<p><b>Keep that cash handy in the event that opportunity knocks</b></p>\n<p>To circle back to the original question at hand, the data is pretty clear that the likelihood of a stock market crash or correction has grown considerably. It's impossible to precisely predict when a crash might occur, how long the decline will last, or how steep the drop could be. But the data strongly suggests that downside is in the offing.</p>\n<p>While this might be a disappointing revelation to some investors, it shouldn't be. Crashes and corrections are a normal part of the investing cycle. More importantly, theyprovide an opportunityfor investors to buy into great companies at a discount. Just think about all the great companies you're probably kicking yourself over for not buying last March.</p>\n<p>The reason to be excited about crashes and corrections is also found in the data. You see, of those 38 previous corrections in the S&amp;P 500 since the beginning of 1950, each and every one has eventually been put into the rearview mirror by a bull market rally.

After the benchmarkS&P 500(SNPINDEX:^GSPC)lost a third of its value in mere weeks due to unprecedented uncertainties surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, it bounced back to gain in the neighborhood of 75% off its lows. You could rightly say that patience has paid off.\nBut there's another reality that investors -- especially long-term investors -- are keenly aware of: the propensity of the stock market to crash or correct. Things might look great now, but the next big nosedive is always waiting in the wings.\nIt begs the question: How likely is astock market crash? Let's take a closer look.\nDouble-digit declines occur every 1.87 years, on average\nTo begin with the basics, stock market corrections (i.e., declines of at least 10%) are quite common in the S&P 500. According to data from market analytics firm Yardeni Research, there have been 38 corrections in the S&P 500 since the beginning of 1950. This works out to an average double-digit decline in the benchmark indexevery 1.87 years. Since it's now been more than a year since the market hit its bear-market bottom, the averages are certainly not in investors' favor.\nHowever, averages are nothing more than that... averages. The market doesn't adhere to averages, even if some folks base their investments off of what's happened historically.\nWe could enter a period similar to 1991 through 1996 where there were zero corrections. Or we could continue the theme since the beginning of 2010, where corrections occur, on average, every 19 months.\nCorrections have been an historical given within three years of a bear market bottom\nAnother interesting piece of evidence to examine is the frequency by which the S&P 500 corrects after hitting a bear-market bottom.\nSince the beginning of 1960 (an arbitrary year I chose for the sake of simplicity), the widely followed index has navigated its way through nine bear markets, including the coronavirus crash. In rebounding from each of the previous eight bear market lows, there was at least one double-digit percentage decline within three years100% of the time. In aggregate, 13 corrections have occurred within three years following the last eight bear market bottoms (i.e., either one or two following each bottom).\nPut another way, rebounding from a bear-market bottom is rarely a straight-line move higher. Yet up, up, and away has pretty much been the theme for investors since March 23, 2020. History would suggest that there's a very good chance of a move lower in equities within the next two years.\nCrashes frequently occur when this valuation metric is hit\nBut the most damning bit of evidence might just be the S&P 500's Shiller price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. This is a valuation metric that examines the average inflation-adjusted earnings from the previous 10 years. You might also know it as the cyclically adjusted P/E ratio, or CAPE.\nAs of the close of business on March 30, the S&P 500's Shiller P/E ratio hit 35.61. That's well over double its 150-year average of 16.8. Using continuous bull market moves as a parameter, it's the second-highest reading in its history.\nTo some extent, itmakes sensethat equity valuations should be higher now than they've been historically. That's because interest rates are near an all-time low and access to the internet has effectively broken down barriers between Wall Street and Main Street that may have, in the past, kept P/E multiples at bay.\nHowever, previous instances of the S&P 500's Shiller P/E ratio crossing above and sustaining the 30 levelhaven't ended well. In the prior four instances where the Shiller P/E surpassed and held above 30, the benchmark index tumbled anywhere from 20% to as much as 89%. Although an 89% plunge, which was experienced during the Great Depression, is very unlikely these days, a big drop has historically been in the cards when valuations get extended, as they are now.\nKeep that cash handy in the event that opportunity knocks\nTo circle back to the original question at hand, the data is pretty clear that the likelihood of a stock market crash or correction has grown considerably. It's impossible to precisely predict when a crash might occur, how long the decline will last, or how steep the drop could be. But the data strongly suggests that downside is in the offing.\nWhile this might be a disappointing revelation to some investors, it shouldn't be. Crashes and corrections are a normal part of the investing cycle. More importantly, theyprovide an opportunityfor investors to buy into great companies at a discount. Just think about all the great companies you're probably kicking yourself over for not buying last March.\nThe reason to be excited about crashes and corrections is also found in the data. You see, of those 38 previous corrections in the S&P 500 since the beginning of 1950, each and every one has eventually been put into the rearview mirror by a bull market rally. Plus,at no point over the past centuryhave rolling 20-year total returns (including dividends) for the S&P 500 been negative.\nIf you need further encouragement to buy during a correction, keep in mind that 24 of the 38 double-digit declines in the S&P 500 havefound their bottom in 104 or fewer calendar days(3.5 months or less). Crashes and corrections may be steep at times but tend to resolve quickly. That's your cue to have cash at the ready in the event that opportunity knocks.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":290,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":355023154,"gmtCreate":1617016500678,"gmtModify":1704800855390,"author":{"id":"3579300323687385","authorId":"3579300323687385","name":"CWONG","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579300323687385","authorIdStr":"3579300323687385"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"One rhing for sure is the prices wwnt up too fast.","listText":"One rhing for sure is the prices wwnt up too fast.","text":"One rhing for sure is the prices wwnt up too fast.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/355023154","repostId":"2123687234","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2123687234","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617011460,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2123687234?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-29 17:51","market":"us","language":"en","title":"5 Ways EV Stocks Are Like Tech Stocks Were in 1999","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2123687234","media":"Jeremy Bowman","summary":"The similarities to the dot-com bubble are uncanny.","content":"<p>The bubble in electric vehicle (EV) stocks may already be starting to pop.</p>\n<p>Shares of <b>Tesla </b>(NASDAQ:TSLA) are down 28% from their all-time high, while <b>Nio&nbsp;</b>(NYSE:NIO), the leading Chinese EV maker, is off 43%.

Image source: Tesla.</p>\n<h3><b>1. An off-the-charts run-up</b></h3>\n<p>In the late 1990s, <b>Intel</b>, <b>Cisco</b>,&nbsp;<b>Microsoft</b>, and&nbsp;<b>Oracle</b> were the titans of tech, much in the way that Tesla and Nio represent the EV sector today. From the start of 1995 to the <b>Nasdaq&nbsp;</b>peak in 2000, a basket of those four stocks gained 2,150% (or more than 80% a year) as enthusiasm for all things internet-related reached a fever pitch. Once the Nasdaq peaked, however, those stock crashed, giving up most of those gains in less than a year.</p>\n<p>This time around, EV stocks have seen a similar eye-popping surge. Since the start of 2020, Blink Charging has gained as much as 3,000%, while Nio and Workhorse had jumped more than 1,000%. Tesla, whose market cap approached $1 trillion at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> point, had gained nearly 1,000% at its height.</p>\n<p>The massive run-up in tech stocks in the late 1990s proved to be unsustainable. The current <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> in EV stocks is starting to look similar.</p>\n<h3>2. A mania for new issues</h3>\n<p>The dot-com boom saw a surge in demand for IPOs, and the boom was named \"dot-com\" in part because investors gladly bid up any new issue with that attached to its name, no matter whether it was <b>Amazon.com</b> or Pets.com.</p>\n<p>Much like the current market has been characterized by a mania for SPACs (special purpose acquisition companies), so the late 1990s were with IPOs, which regularly doubled or more on opening day. In fact, some internet stocks set goals of jumping 300% or even 400% on their IPO day, according to <i>Fortune</i>, and the speculative fever around those stocks made that possible.</p>\n<p>Today, the favored way of going public is through SPACs, which face less regulatory scrutiny than IPOs, and EV SPACs in particular have seen some wild gains. Prior to its merger with Lucid Motors, Churchill Capital IV stock ran up nearly 500%. Nikola had gained around 700% before that stock unraveled amid fraud allegations forcing CEO Trevor Milton to step down. Much like tech stocks went public in the 1990s with little evidence showing a viable business, today many EV companies are going public with no revenue or products at all, just plans to produce them.</p>\n<h3>3. A flood of amateur investors in the market</h3>\n<p>The dot-com boom coincided with a breakthrough in market access as new platforms like E*Trade allowed investors to easily trade and manage their own portfolios without going through a professional broker. That, along with surging stock prices, beckoned millions of new investors into the market, many of whom eventually lost their savings.</p>\n<p>This time around, Robinhood and similar mobile trading apps have encouraged a new generation of investors, and many of those have focused on EV stocks. Among the 100 most-popular Robinhood stocks are a number of EV companies, with Tesla at No. 2 and Nio at No. 5; <b>Plug Power </b>and <b>FuelCell Energy</b>, which focus on hydrogen fuel cells; Churchill Capital IV; Workhorse; Nikola; Blink Charging; and <b>Xpeng</b>, another Chinese EV maker. With nine EV-related companies on Robinhood's top 100 list, it's clear that the sector has attracted the newest generation of investors, many of whom may have no previous investing experience.</p>\n<h3>4. Sky-high price targets</h3>\n<p>Back in 1999, analysts were regularly doubling their price targets to keep up with the surging growth in stocks. That created a feedback cycle as the higher Wall Street targets seemed to justify the stock gains. Henry Blodget famously slapped a $400 price target on Amazon in late 1998, calling for the stock to roughly double, which set off a surge in other internet stocks and even stocks of Amazon's book-selling peers like Barnes &amp; Noble and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BAMM\">Books-A-Million</a>. Amazon would go on to break through that price target before it cratered well below $400 in the dot-com bust.</p>\n<p>Today, the role of head market cheerleader is being played by Cathie Wood, founder of growth ETF manager ARK Invest, whose ETFs doubled last year amid a surge in stocks like Tesla. Wood received fanfare when her early 2018 split-adjusted price target of $600 for Tesla calling for it to jump by 1,000% turned out to be right. Now, Wood sees the stock jumping another 400% to $3,000, though that prediction has faced a fair amount of skepticism.</p>\n<h3>5. The technology is revolutionary</h3>\n<p>Perhaps the most important similarity between EV stocks and early internet stocks is that both are premised on significant technology revolutions. While there was some debate back in the 1990s if the transformative power of the internet would be truly lasting, today it's clear that the internet has changed almost every facet of modern life from how we shop to how we communicate to even how we look for love. The challenge of the dot-com boom wasn't determining that the internet was revolutionary, but finding the stocks that would be winners and separating those from the ones that would eventually go bankrupt.</p>\n<p>This time around, EVs have reached a tipping point where it looks relatively certain that the technology will go mainstream. Eventually, most cars on the road will be EVs. Governments like California's are instituting future bans on internal-combustion vehicles. Legacy automakers like <b>Volkswagen </b>and <b>General Motors</b> are overhauling their businesses to produce EVs at scale, and the market is rewarding them with surging stock prices.</p>\n<p>Electric vehicles in an overall sense are winning in the battle against internal-combustion vehicles, but that is much different from every EV stock being a winner. While there will be a few companies that will lead or even dominate the market, many will fizzle out, especially considering that margins in auto manufacturing are traditionally thin.</p>\n<p>Given that reality, investors may want to temper their expectations for the sector. Much like the situation in 1999, valuations will eventually return closer to historical means as the mania around the newest breakthrough technology subsides.</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>5 Ways EV Stocks Are Like Tech Stocks Were in 1999</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\">\n5 Ways EV Stocks Are Like Tech Stocks Were in 1999\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-29 17:51 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/29/5-ways-ev-stocks-are-like-tech-stocks-were-in-1999/><strong>Jeremy Bowman</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The bubble in electric vehicle (EV) stocks may already be starting to pop.\nShares of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) are down 28% from their all-time high, while Nio (NYSE:NIO), the leading Chinese EV maker, is ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/29/5-ways-ev-stocks-are-like-tech-stocks-were-in-1999/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7d4ecf9c9f572f6ece46160443cf0218","relate_stocks":{"WKHS":"Workhorse Group, Inc.","BLNK":"Blink Charging","NIO":"蔚来","NKLA":"Nikola Corporation"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/29/5-ways-ev-stocks-are-like-tech-stocks-were-in-1999/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2123687234","content_text":"The bubble in electric vehicle (EV) stocks may already be starting to pop.\nShares of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) are down 28% from their all-time high, while Nio (NYSE:NIO), the leading Chinese EV maker, is off 43%.

Among the 100 most-popular Robinhood stocks are a number of EV companies, with Tesla at No. 2 and Nio at No. 5; Plug Power and FuelCell Energy, which focus on hydrogen fuel cells; Churchill Capital IV; Workhorse; Nikola; Blink Charging; and Xpeng, another Chinese EV maker. With nine EV-related companies on Robinhood's top 100 list, it's clear that the sector has attracted the newest generation of investors, many of whom may have no previous investing experience.\n4. Sky-high price targets\nBack in 1999, analysts were regularly doubling their price targets to keep up with the surging growth in stocks. That created a feedback cycle as the higher Wall Street targets seemed to justify the stock gains. Henry Blodget famously slapped a $400 price target on Amazon in late 1998, calling for the stock to roughly double, which set off a surge in other internet stocks and even stocks of Amazon's book-selling peers like Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million. Amazon would go on to break through that price target before it cratered well below $400 in the dot-com bust.\nToday, the role of head market cheerleader is being played by Cathie Wood, founder of growth ETF manager ARK Invest, whose ETFs doubled last year amid a surge in stocks like Tesla. Wood received fanfare when her early 2018 split-adjusted price target of $600 for Tesla calling for it to jump by 1,000% turned out to be right. Now, Wood sees the stock jumping another 400% to $3,000, though that prediction has faced a fair amount of skepticism.\n5. The technology is revolutionary\nPerhaps the most important similarity between EV stocks and early internet stocks is that both are premised on significant technology revolutions. While there was some debate back in the 1990s if the transformative power of the internet would be truly lasting, today it's clear that the internet has changed almost every facet of modern life from how we shop to how we communicate to even how we look for love. The challenge of the dot-com boom wasn't determining that the internet was revolutionary, but finding the stocks that would be winners and separating those from the ones that would eventually go bankrupt.\nThis time around, EVs have reached a tipping point where it looks relatively certain that the technology will go mainstream. Eventually, most cars on the road will be EVs. Governments like California's are instituting future bans on internal-combustion vehicles. Legacy automakers like Volkswagen and General Motors are overhauling their businesses to produce EVs at scale, and the market is rewarding them with surging stock prices.\nElectric vehicles in an overall sense are winning in the battle against internal-combustion vehicles, but that is much different from every EV stock being a winner. While there will be a few companies that will lead or even dominate the market, many will fizzle out, especially considering that margins in auto manufacturing are traditionally thin.\nGiven that reality, investors may want to temper their expectations for the sector. Much like the situation in 1999, valuations will eventually return closer to historical means as the mania around the newest breakthrough technology subsides.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":158,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":349510480,"gmtCreate":1617624384240,"gmtModify":1704700988311,"author":{"id":"3579300323687385","authorId":"3579300323687385","name":"CWONG","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579300323687385","idStr":"3579300323687385"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"??","listText":"??","text":"??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/349510480","repostId":"1160739612","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1160739612","kind":"news","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":1617622433,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1160739612?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-05 19:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla's market value set to gain $50 billion on record first-qtr deliveries","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1160739612","media":"Reuters","summary":"Tesla Inc was set to add about $50 billion to its market value, as its shares surged on Monday after","content":"<p>Tesla Inc was set to add about $50 billion to its market value, as its shares surged on Monday after the world’s most valuable automaker posted record deliveries, overcoming the impact of a shortage of automobile chips that has slammed the entire sector.</p>\n<p>The carmaker’s shares, up nearly 8% in pre-market trading, were on track to hit their highest in over a month.</p>\n<p>The electric-car maker said on Friday it was encouraged by the strong reception of its Model Y crossover in China and it was quickly progressing to full production capacity.</p>\n<p>Tesla’s ability to produce roughly the same amount of vehicles in the first quarter as in the fourth quarter “stands out relative to the trend in global light vehicle production”, J.P.Morgan analysts wrote in a note.</p>\n<p>Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk’s personal wealth has been boosted by a more than eight-fold surge in the stock’s value last year, even though its production is just a fraction of rivals such as Toyota Motor, Volkswagen and General Motors.</p>\n<p>At least three brokerages ratcheted up their price targets on Tesla’s stock.

After the benchmark<b>S&amp;P 500</b>(SNPINDEX:^GSPC)lost a third of its value in mere weeks due to unprecedented uncertainties surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, it bounced back to gain in the neighborhood of 75% off its lows. You could rightly say that patience has paid off.</p>\n<p>But there's another reality that investors -- especially long-term investors -- are keenly aware of: the propensity of the stock market to crash or correct. Things might look great now, but the next big nosedive is always waiting in the wings.</p>\n<p>It begs the question: How likely is astock market crash? Let's take a closer look.</p>\n<p><b>Double-digit declines occur every 1.87 years, on average</b></p>\n<p>To begin with the basics, stock market corrections (i.e., declines of at least 10%) are quite common in the S&amp;P 500. According to data from market analytics firm Yardeni Research, there have been 38 corrections in the S&amp;P 500 since the beginning of 1950. This works out to an average double-digit decline in the benchmark indexevery 1.87 years. Since it's now been more than a year since the market hit its bear-market bottom, the averages are certainly not in investors' favor.</p>\n<p>However, averages are nothing more than that... averages. The market doesn't adhere to averages, even if some folks base their investments off of what's happened historically.</p>\n<p>We could enter a period similar to 1991 through 1996 where there were zero corrections. Or we could continue the theme since the beginning of 2010, where corrections occur, on average, every 19 months.</p>\n<p><b>Corrections have been an historical given within three years of a bear market bottom</b></p>\n<p>Another interesting piece of evidence to examine is the frequency by which the S&amp;P 500 corrects after hitting a bear-market bottom.</p>\n<p>Since the beginning of 1960 (an arbitrary year I chose for the sake of simplicity), the widely followed index has navigated its way through nine bear markets, including the coronavirus crash. In rebounding from each of the previous eight bear market lows, there was at least one double-digit percentage decline within three years100% of the time. In aggregate, 13 corrections have occurred within three years following the last eight bear market bottoms (i.e., either one or two following each bottom).</p>\n<p>Put another way, rebounding from a bear-market bottom is rarely a straight-line move higher. Yet up, up, and away has pretty much been the theme for investors since March 23, 2020. History would suggest that there's a very good chance of a move lower in equities within the next two years.</p>\n<p><b>Crashes frequently occur when this valuation metric is hit</b></p>\n<p>But the most damning bit of evidence might just be the S&amp;P 500's Shiller price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. This is a valuation metric that examines the average inflation-adjusted earnings from the previous 10 years. You might also know it as the cyclically adjusted P/E ratio, or CAPE.</p>\n<p>As of the close of business on March 30, the S&amp;P 500's Shiller P/E ratio hit 35.61. That's well over double its 150-year average of 16.8. Using continuous bull market moves as a parameter, it's the second-highest reading in its history.</p>\n<p>To some extent, itmakes sensethat equity valuations should be higher now than they've been historically. That's because interest rates are near an all-time low and access to the internet has effectively broken down barriers between Wall Street and Main Street that may have, in the past, kept P/E multiples at bay.</p>\n<p>However, previous instances of the S&amp;P 500's Shiller P/E ratio crossing above and sustaining the 30 levelhaven't ended well. In the prior four instances where the Shiller P/E surpassed and held above 30, the benchmark index tumbled anywhere from 20% to as much as 89%. Although an 89% plunge, which was experienced during the Great Depression, is very unlikely these days, a big drop has historically been in the cards when valuations get extended, as they are now.</p>\n<p><b>Keep that cash handy in the event that opportunity knocks</b></p>\n<p>To circle back to the original question at hand, the data is pretty clear that the likelihood of a stock market crash or correction has grown considerably. It's impossible to precisely predict when a crash might occur, how long the decline will last, or how steep the drop could be. But the data strongly suggests that downside is in the offing.</p>\n<p>While this might be a disappointing revelation to some investors, it shouldn't be. Crashes and corrections are a normal part of the investing cycle. More importantly, theyprovide an opportunityfor investors to buy into great companies at a discount. Just think about all the great companies you're probably kicking yourself over for not buying last March.</p>\n<p>The reason to be excited about crashes and corrections is also found in the data. You see, of those 38 previous corrections in the S&amp;P 500 since the beginning of 1950, each and every one has eventually been put into the rearview mirror by a bull market rally. Plus,at no point over the past centuryhave rolling 20-year total returns (including dividends) for the S&amp;P 500 been negative.</p>\n<p>If you need further encouragement to buy during a correction, keep in mind that 24 of the 38 double-digit declines in the S&amp;P 500 havefound their bottom in 104 or fewer calendar days(3.5 months or less). Crashes and corrections may be steep at times but tend to resolve quickly. That's your cue to have cash at the ready in the event that opportunity knocks.</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>How Likely Is a Stock Market Crash?</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 Likely Is a Stock Market Crash?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-02 20:22 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/02/how-likely-is-a-stock-market-crash/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>You may not like the answer.\n\nFor the past year, investors have enjoyed one of the greatest bounce-back rallies of all time.

According to data from market analytics firm Yardeni Research, there have been 38 corrections in the S&P 500 since the beginning of 1950. This works out to an average double-digit decline in the benchmark indexevery 1.87 years. Since it's now been more than a year since the market hit its bear-market bottom, the averages are certainly not in investors' favor.\nHowever, averages are nothing more than that... averages. The market doesn't adhere to averages, even if some folks base their investments off of what's happened historically.\nWe could enter a period similar to 1991 through 1996 where there were zero corrections. Or we could continue the theme since the beginning of 2010, where corrections occur, on average, every 19 months.\nCorrections have been an historical given within three years of a bear market bottom\nAnother interesting piece of evidence to examine is the frequency by which the S&P 500 corrects after hitting a bear-market bottom.\nSince the beginning of 1960 (an arbitrary year I chose for the sake of simplicity), the widely followed index has navigated its way through nine bear markets, including the coronavirus crash. In rebounding from each of the previous eight bear market lows, there was at least one double-digit percentage decline within three years100% of the time. In aggregate, 13 corrections have occurred within three years following the last eight bear market bottoms (i.e., either one or two following each bottom).\nPut another way, rebounding from a bear-market bottom is rarely a straight-line move higher. Yet up, up, and away has pretty much been the theme for investors since March 23, 2020. History would suggest that there's a very good chance of a move lower in equities within the next two years.\nCrashes frequently occur when this valuation metric is hit\nBut the most damning bit of evidence might just be the S&P 500's Shiller price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. This is a valuation metric that examines the average inflation-adjusted earnings from the previous 10 years. You might also know it as the cyclically adjusted P/E ratio, or CAPE.\nAs of the close of business on March 30, the S&P 500's Shiller P/E ratio hit 35.61. That's well over double its 150-year average of 16.8. Using continuous bull market moves as a parameter, it's the second-highest reading in its history.\nTo some extent, itmakes sensethat equity valuations should be higher now than they've been historically. That's because interest rates are near an all-time low and access to the internet has effectively broken down barriers between Wall Street and Main Street that may have, in the past, kept P/E multiples at bay.\nHowever, previous instances of the S&P 500's Shiller P/E ratio crossing above and sustaining the 30 levelhaven't ended well. In the prior four instances where the Shiller P/E surpassed and held above 30, the benchmark index tumbled anywhere from 20% to as much as 89%. Although an 89% plunge, which was experienced during the Great Depression, is very unlikely these days, a big drop has historically been in the cards when valuations get extended, as they are now.\nKeep that cash handy in the event that opportunity knocks\nTo circle back to the original question at hand, the data is pretty clear that the likelihood of a stock market crash or correction has grown considerably. It's impossible to precisely predict when a crash might occur, how long the decline will last, or how steep the drop could be. But the data strongly suggests that downside is in the offing.\nWhile this might be a disappointing revelation to some investors, it shouldn't be. Crashes and corrections are a normal part of the investing cycle. More importantly, theyprovide an opportunityfor investors to buy into great companies at a discount. Just think about all the great companies you're probably kicking yourself over for not buying last March.\nThe reason to be excited about crashes and corrections is also found in the data. You see, of those 38 previous corrections in the S&P 500 since the beginning of 1950, each and every one has eventually been put into the rearview mirror by a bull market rally. Plus,at no point over the past centuryhave rolling 20-year total returns (including dividends) for the S&P 500 been negative.\nIf you need further encouragement to buy during a correction, keep in mind that 24 of the 38 double-digit declines in the S&P 500 havefound their bottom in 104 or fewer calendar days(3.5 months or less). Crashes and corrections may be steep at times but tend to resolve quickly. That's your cue to have cash at the ready in the event that opportunity knocks.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":290,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":349030029,"gmtCreate":1617503050961,"gmtModify":1704700038649,"author":{"id":"3579300323687385","authorId":"3579300323687385","name":"CWONG","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579300323687385","idStr":"3579300323687385"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/349030029","repostId":"1176602902","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1176602902","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":1617366683,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1176602902?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-02 20:31","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. added 916,000 jobs in March, above expectations","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1176602902","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(April 2) Job growth boomed in March at the fastest pace since last summer as stronger economic grow","content":"<p>(April&nbsp;2)&nbsp;Job growth boomed in March at the fastest pace since last summer as stronger economic growth and an aggressive vaccination effort pushed companies to step up hiring, the Labor Department reported Friday.</p><p>Nonfarm payrolls increased by 916,000 for the month while the unemployment rate fell to 6%.</p><p>Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for an increase of 675,000 and an unemployment rate of 6%.</p><p>The report comes amid a slew of other indicators pointing to stronger growth as the U.S. tries to shake off the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Photographer: Tiffany Hagler-Geard/BloombergCoinbase is the talk of Wall Street, as the largest crypto platform in the U.S. gears up for its public debut on a traditional exchange Wednesday, through a direct listing.There is no doubt that the public offering of Coinbase is a big deal in the world of crypto. The company was created just over a decade ago with the genesis of bitcoin  and is now in the midst of a moment that many in the industry have described as a tipping point .There are few ways to get direct ownership of crypto currencies, outside of buying them directly, a service that Coinbase provides for a fee, and what investors appear willing to be pay up for.Leeor Shimron, analyst at FundStrat Global Advisors, described the Coinbase listing as seminal. \"Coinbase's direct listing is a watershed moment for the crypto industry.\"Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said the listing is a reflection of the crypto's mainstream evolution.\"Coinbase is a foundational piece of the crypto ecosystem and is a barometer for the growing mainstream adoption of Bitcoin and crypto for the coming years in our opinion,\" he wrote in a research note Tuesday.Some caution that the implied valuations for Coinbase as a crypto exchange are too lofty , the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange.In a direct listing, a company floats its shares on a stock exchange, but without hiring banks to underwrite the transaction, like in an IPO.Here's what you need to know about the coming offering.What is Coinbase?The Silicon Valley crypto exchange was co-founded in 2012 by Brian Armstrong, 38, who runs the platform as chief executive. Fred Ehrsam, a Coinbase director, also helped to create the company.According to Forbes , Armstrong's networth is currently $6.5 billion based on his ownership in the company and his wealth is likely to increase if the direct listing goes off successfully.When will Coinbase go public?Coinbase will list on April 14. The precise timing of the list isn't clear but Palantir Technologies Inc.'s (PLTR)direct listing   after 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time.Where will it list?Coinbase is set to go public on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol \"COIN\" as a direct listing, meaning it isn't raising any new money, as a company would under a traditional IPO.Coinbase is the Nasdaq's first major direct listing, with Spotify $(SPOT)$, Slack Technologies (WORK) and most recently Palantir Technologies (PLTR) all opting to directly list at the NYSE.Valuations?Valuations for Coinbase vary from $50 billion to $150 billion based on some decentralized crypto platforms that attempt to replicate how the company's shares might trade. At the top end of the spectrum, Coinbase would be bigger than a number of U.S. exchanges, including ICE, Nasdaq, CME Group $(CME)$ and Cboe Global Markets $(CBOE)$.David Trainer, CEO of New Constructs, an investment research firm, said the crypto platform's value is ridiculously high. \"Even though Coinbase's revenue surged over the past 12 months, the company has little-to-no-chance of meeting the future profit expectations that are baked into its ridiculously high expected valuation of $100 billion,\" he said.\"Coinbase's expected valuation of $100 billion implies that its revenue will be 1.5x the combined 2020 revenues of two of the most established exchanges in the marketplace, Nasdaq Inc. $(NDAQ)$ and Intercontinental Exchange $(ICE)$, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange,\" he said.Trainer said that based on his calculation, Coinbase's valuation should be closer to $18.9 billion--an 81% decrease from the $100 billion expected valuation.'Not for the faint of heart'MoffettNathanson analyst Lisa Ellis explained to MarketWatch why the offering is, as she describes it \"not for the faint of heart,\" but why she initiated coverage of the exchange at a buy with a price-target of $600, even before it sees its first trade on the Nasdaq.\"I'm super super bullish on Coinbase...because you get the sense that they are a market leader in the space and crypto agnostic,\" she said.That said, she acknowledges that currently 90% of Coinbase's revenues are derived directly from retail trading, with most in the U.S. and trading centered primarily on the two largest cryptos: bitcoin and Ether  on the ethereum blockchain.\"So the implications is that Coinbase's revenues are correlated with the level of activity in cryto currency and especially bitcoin and ether.\"Ellis says investors need to have at least a one-year long-term investment strategy in bitcoin, which could still go to zero by some bearish accounts, but a three-year outlook is even better, because the crypto complex has tended to operate in three-year cycles of boom and then bust.Validation for crypto or a top?Some bulls see Coinbase as validation for the nascent crpyto industry.Alex Mashinsky, head of crypto-lending and trading platform Celsius Network, put it this way:\"We look at the Coinbase listing as an additional validation of the space, and a major PR opportunity for the entire industry to shine as the future of finance,\" he told MarketWatch via email.\"Coinbase has more users and more revenues than many of the largest Wall Street players and is more profitable than any major exchange, and this validation puts most skeptics at a crossroads having to re-evaluate their denial and frustration with the disruption coming at them from all sides.\"Others suggest that it may prove a new top for the market and put crypto prices under pressure after a precipitous rally in recent days and a fresh record for bitcoin.Yves Lamoureux, the president of Montreal-based macroeconomic research firm Lamoureux & Co., told MarketWatch that he is fearful that too much euphoria surrounds bitcoin and crypto and sees it due for a retrenchment as a result. \"Can you find out-there anyone with a bearish viewpoint?\" he asked. \"A resounding no,\" said Lamoureux.Is Coinbase the largest crypto exchange?Coinbase is the second-largest crypto platform, but the largest in the U.S., by volume.

The chipmaker ended 2020 with a 21.7% share of the x86 processor market, which includes chips used in servers, laptops, and desktops, up from 15.1% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2019.</p>\n<p>However, there has been chatter of Intel being on the path of a turnaround, as it had reclaimed some of its market share from AMD in the fourth quarter of 2020 on a quarter-over-quarter basis. That chatter has only become stronger as Chipzilla reportedly looks to erase AMD's technological leadership with aggressive capacity investments.</p>\n<p>Intel recently announced a capital expenditure budget of $20 billion for 2021, a big increase over last year's $14 billion outlay, as it looks to shore up its manufacturing. The company says that the delays it faced with the 10-nanometer (nm) and 7nm chip manufacturing processes are now fixed. In fact, Intel says that its 7nm client CPUs code-named Meteor Lake are in development and will tape in the next quarter. Intel is expected to start shipping&nbsp;its 7nm PC chips to customers in 2023, while data center chips based on the platform are also expected in that year.</p>\n<p>AMD has already been selling 7nm processors for quite some time now, giving it an advantage over Intel, which fumbled its transition to the competing 10nm platform and has remained stuck on the 14nm platform for a long time now. What's more, investors need not be afraid of Intel's progress on the 7nm front, as Chipzilla's timeline for the launch of those chips hasn't changed.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1d1a80e2bc655d91abe37c8c8083b1ab\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"510\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p>In fact, AMD can be expected to raise its game by the time Intel's 7nm chips hit the market by transitioning to the competing 5nm manufacturing node within the next couple of years. A smaller processing node will allow AMD to pack more&nbsp;transistors closer to each other, leading to improved computing performance and lower power consumption.</p>\n<p>Therefore, AMD can remain ahead of Intel once it makes the transition to a smaller 5nm process node. Chipzilla is unlikely to regain its technology lead until the launch of its own 5nm process, the timeline for which is unknown right now. As it turns out, AMD's foundry partner <b>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing</b> is reportedly working to increase the production capacity of 5nm chips. That should bode well for AMD, as it is expected&nbsp;to become TSMC's second-largest customer and enjoy stronger bargaining power.</p>\n<p>Additionally, AMD can be expected to keep up the pressure on Intel in the data center space after the launch&nbsp;of its latest EPYC server processors. AMD claims that the latest EPYC 7003 processors based on the 7nm process are twice as fast as Intel's competing chips. Third-party tests conducted by <i>AnandTech</i> indicate the same.</p>\n<p>More importantly, AMD has a solid lineup of clients using the latest EPYC server processors. They include&nbsp;<b>Amazon</b>, <b>Cisco</b>, <b>Dell Technologies</b>, <b>Alphabet</b>'s Google, <b>Microsoft</b>, <b>Lenovo</b>, and <b>Tencent</b>. So it won't be surprising to see AMD log big gains in the data center market in both the short and the long run.</p>\n<h2>Buy when others are fearful</h2>\n<p>AMD stock has become cheaper thanks to the recent pullback, trading&nbsp;at 38 times trailing earnings. That's really cheap compared to last year's average trailing earnings multiple of 124, thanks to the sharp spike in the company's earnings and a lower share price. The good news is that AMD's bottom-line growth is here to stay thanks to a variety of catalysts, and it may not be long before the stock price follows suit.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7df9f57ab94b1797b8d6fa062e624a07\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\"><span>AMD EPS Estimates for Current Fiscal Year data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>All of this makes AMD a growth stock worth buying right now, as it continues to remain in a solid position against Intel and has additional growth drivers in the bag.</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>AMD Stock Has Crashed 20%: Here's Why You Should Buy</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\">\nAMD Stock Has Crashed 20%: Here's Why You Should Buy\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-26 22:55 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/26/amd-stock-has-crashed-20-heres-why-you-should-buy/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock hit a 52-week high in January this year, but the price for this high-flying chipmaker has pulled back over 20% since then thanks to a variety of factors such ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/26/amd-stock-has-crashed-20-heres-why-you-should-buy/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMD":"美国超微公司"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/03/26/amd-stock-has-crashed-20-heres-why-you-should-buy/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2122472374","content_text":"Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock hit a 52-week high in January this year, but the price for this high-flying chipmaker has pulled back over 20% since then thanks to a variety of factors such as the broader sell-off in tech stocks and rival Intel's (NASDAQ:INTC) resurgence under new leadership.\nHowever, one look at the pace of AMD's growth and its outlook for the year tells us that the recent sell-off in the stock may not be justified.

The chipmaker ended 2020 with a 21.7% share of the x86 processor market, which includes chips used in servers, laptops, and desktops, up from 15.1% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2019.\nHowever, there has been chatter of Intel being on the path of a turnaround, as it had reclaimed some of its market share from AMD in the fourth quarter of 2020 on a quarter-over-quarter basis. That chatter has only become stronger as Chipzilla reportedly looks to erase AMD's technological leadership with aggressive capacity investments.\nIntel recently announced a capital expenditure budget of $20 billion for 2021, a big increase over last year's $14 billion outlay, as it looks to shore up its manufacturing. The company says that the delays it faced with the 10-nanometer (nm) and 7nm chip manufacturing processes are now fixed. In fact, Intel says that its 7nm client CPUs code-named Meteor Lake are in development and will tape in the next quarter. Intel is expected to start shipping its 7nm PC chips to customers in 2023, while data center chips based on the platform are also expected in that year.\nAMD has already been selling 7nm processors for quite some time now, giving it an advantage over Intel, which fumbled its transition to the competing 10nm platform and has remained stuck on the 14nm platform for a long time now. What's more, investors need not be afraid of Intel's progress on the 7nm front, as Chipzilla's timeline for the launch of those chips hasn't changed.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nIn fact, AMD can be expected to raise its game by the time Intel's 7nm chips hit the market by transitioning to the competing 5nm manufacturing node within the next couple of years. A smaller processing node will allow AMD to pack more transistors closer to each other, leading to improved computing performance and lower power consumption.\nTherefore, AMD can remain ahead of Intel once it makes the transition to a smaller 5nm process node. Chipzilla is unlikely to regain its technology lead until the launch of its own 5nm process, the timeline for which is unknown right now. As it turns out, AMD's foundry partner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing is reportedly working to increase the production capacity of 5nm chips. That should bode well for AMD, as it is expected to become TSMC's second-largest customer and enjoy stronger bargaining power.\nAdditionally, AMD can be expected to keep up the pressure on Intel in the data center space after the launch of its latest EPYC server processors. AMD claims that the latest EPYC 7003 processors based on the 7nm process are twice as fast as Intel's competing chips. Third-party tests conducted by AnandTech indicate the same.\nMore importantly, AMD has a solid lineup of clients using the latest EPYC server processors. They include Amazon, Cisco, Dell Technologies, Alphabet's Google, Microsoft, Lenovo, and Tencent. So it won't be surprising to see AMD log big gains in the data center market in both the short and the long run.\nBuy when others are fearful\nAMD stock has become cheaper thanks to the recent pullback, trading at 38 times trailing earnings. That's really cheap compared to last year's average trailing earnings multiple of 124, thanks to the sharp spike in the company's earnings and a lower share price. The good news is that AMD's bottom-line growth is here to stay thanks to a variety of catalysts, and it may not be long before the stock price follows suit.\nAMD EPS Estimates for Current Fiscal Year data by YCharts\nAll of this makes AMD a growth stock worth buying right now, as it continues to remain in a solid position against Intel and has additional growth drivers in the bag.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":52,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":370083374,"gmtCreate":1618536317198,"gmtModify":1704712351441,"author":{"id":"3579300323687385","authorId":"3579300323687385","name":"CWONG","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579300323687385","idStr":"3579300323687385"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good potential.","listText":"Good potential.","text":"Good potential.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/370083374","repostId":"1181372898","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1181372898","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618501265,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1181372898?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-15 23:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Palantir Actually Overvalued?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1181372898","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"(April 15) Palantir fell nearlr 3% in Thursday morning  trading.SummaryPalantir looks very expensive","content":"<p>(April 15)&nbsp;Palantir fell nearlr 3%&nbsp;in Thursday&nbsp;morning  trading.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/48094c753cf8466f8f6f524a7349fba1\" tg-width=\"658\" tg-height=\"395\"></p><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>Palantir looks very expensive at first sight.

But when we take a closer look, the price might be justified, as Palantir has a compelling ultra-long-term growth outlook due to a strong position in an absolute growth market. Despite a seemingly very high valuation, Palantir's shares could be a solid long-term investment.</p><p><b>Palantir Is Not A Typical Stock I Like</b></p><p>In general, I am mostly focused on dividend-paying stocks that trade at reasonable or cheap valuations, with some \"growth at a reasonable price\" (GARP) added in. Stocks trading at 100 times forward earnings, or even higher than that, are not at all typical of what I like to write about, and what I personally invest in. I have been quite critical of many stocks that trade at what I believe are too-high valuations. Nevertheless, I see Palantir as a stock that has a lot of potential in the long run, and that seems worthy of consideration, despite a seemingly very high valuation.</p><p>The reasoning for why I like Palantir, despite it trading at a quite high valuation, rests on three main pillars:</p><p><b>1. Palantir is active in an absolute growth market that will grow for decades</b></p><p>Big data, data analysis, and artificial intelligence are not short-term trends that will play out in a couple of years, but rather megatrends that will most likely become ever more important. 20 years from now, 30 years from now, and likely even farther in the future, big data and artificial intelligence will still be growth markets.</p><p><b>2. Palantir has a very clear industry leadership position</b></p><p>Many hyped-up growth companies are active in a highly fought-over market, oftentimes there is no clear, large moat for first-movers and current market leaders. I believe that in Palantir's case, that is not true. The company has developed a wide range of products and offerings for customers that are very unique, and where competition is not looking like a major concern. On top of that, Palantir has established very strong connections with government agencies and the military, which will be hard to replicate for eventual competitors. This does, I believe, result in a high likelihood that Palantir will not only be the leading player in the near term, but that it will retain this position for a long time. I personally am not so sure about the future leadership position of other current hyped-up leaders, including Tesla (TSLA) in EVs, Beyond Meat (BYND) in plant-based meat alternatives, etc.</p><p><b>3. The industry Palantir is active in has great characteristics</b></p><p>Big data and artificial intelligence are not only absolute growth markets, they also, as part of the software/service tech industry, offer a range of highly compelling characteristics. First, the software industry has, on average, very high gross and operating margins. This is, at least partially, the result of relatively low proportional costs, as there is no expensive manufacturing infrastructure needed.High gross margins&nbsp;are one of the common traits shared by companies that are able to deliver strong long-term share price gains.</p><p>The software industry is also capital extensive, which means that free cash flows, on average, are relatively high. There is no need to build out a lot of expensive infrastructure such as manufacturing plants, which translates into attractive free cash generation that can be used for tuck-in acquisitions, debt reduction, etc.</p><p>Third, the software industry overall is not cyclical. As software is an essential part of our daily lives and of doing business, customers don't scale back their use of software during a recession or any other type of crisis. In Palantir's case, where government agencies are a major customer, resilience is even stronger. Compared to many other growth industries, including EVs, renewable energy, etc. these very attractive traits are very pronounced for software companies, including Palantir. As an example of the attractiveness of Palantir's business mode, let's look at its gross margins versus those of other hyped growth stocks:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd5c147cb9babf998cfd35649f4cad22\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Clearly, Palantir is in a class of its own compared to Tesla, Beyond Meat, Peloton (PTON), or Canadian Solar (CSIQ) (as a stand-in for most solar and renewable stocks).</p><p><b>Palantir's Valuation - How High Is It?</b></p><p>Looking at current earnings per share estimates for this year, which stand at $0.16, Palantir is trading for around 150 times this year's earnings. That is, of course, an extremely high valuation in absolute terms.</p><p>However, it should be considered that Palantir is just beginning to generate positive net profits. Shortly after breaking even, net profits can't be expected to be very high yet. But due to two key reasons, Palantir's earnings should grow meaningfully in coming years. First, the nature of the market the company is active in will allow for strong revenue growth going forward. On top of that, thanks to the fact that Palantir generates very high gross margins, each additional dollar of revenue that the company generates in the future should help a lot in improving profitability. When a company like Palantir adds $1 billion in additional sales, that will do a lot more for its bottom line compared to most other companies, that won't see profits grow as much due to lower margins.</p><p>Analysts are thus, not surprisingly, forecasting strong earnings per share growth over the next two years:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f4a7db46186418a049678d1ecf17ff30\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"436\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Whereas Palantir trades for around 150 times this year's earnings, the stock trades for 118 times 2022's earnings, and for 97 times 2023's earnings. Those aren't low valuations at all, but it can make sense to look at how companies such as Netflix (NFLX) or Amazon (AMZN) were valued in their younger days.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8c82732cfdc04638279f1d9e77e9c1e4\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"419\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Not too long ago, these companies were trading for 200-300 times net profits, despite having reached a much larger size already. Palantir, with stronger gross margins and a smaller size, is not trading for 200 or even 300 times net earnings. Since we all know that buying Amazon or Netflix five years ago was a great decision, Palantir's current valuation may indeed not be unreasonable.</p><p>When we assume that current estimates for 2023's net earnings are correct, and that Palantir will be able to grow its earnings per share by 25% a year through the 2020s, then net earnings would total $1.23 in 2030. Put a 35 times earnings multiple on that, and shares would be valued at $43, which would lead to annual returns of ~6%.</p><p>A 35 times earnings multiple may be on the conservative side still - after all, even a giant such as Amazon is trading at 72 times earnings today. Palantir may also be able to grow its earnings per share at a higher pace than 25% a year during the 2020s. Lastly, Palantir may be way more profitable in 2023 compared to what analysts are forecasting right now (after all, the company has&nbsp;easily beaten estimates&nbsp;in the past), which would lead to higher EPS in 2030 as well, assuming an unchanged growth rate. In a more bullish scenario, where Palantir earns $0.30 in 2023, grows its EPS by 30% a year through 2030 and trades at 40 times net earnings in 2030, the stock could be worth $75 nine years from now, delivering 200% in that scenario. I'm not saying that this will happen - no one can know that right now. But I believe that, with reasonable assumptions, it can be argued that Palantir's shares may not be all that overpriced right now.</p><p><b>How To Get Into Palantir At A Lower Price</b></p><p>For those that like the company, but that deem shares a little too expensive, selling covered calls or cash-secured puts could be an interesting choice. Due to a high implied volatility, option premiums are quite high. If you buy 100 shares at $25 and sell a $30 call with expiry in June 2022 at $6.30, you effectively entered a position at $18.70, or a 25% discount to the current price. There is a risk of shares getting called away, but even in that scenario, one would still generate a return of 45% ($36.30/$25) in 14 months, which would not at all be unattractive.</p><p>Similarly, entering a position via cash-secured puts (e.g. Jan 2022 puts with a strike price selling for$3.00right now) could be a way to get a sizeable discount versus the current share price.</p><p><b>Takeaway</b></p><p>At first sight, Palantir looks quite expensive, trading for around 150 times net earnings. But when we take a closer look, the above-average quality, strong growth outlook, and great market position, Palantir may well be worth its current price. I see it as one of the most favorable among the hyped-up growth stocks - which I see as overvalued in most cases - and believe that investors who buy Palantir's shares right here may very well do fine in the long run. I still believe that utilizing option strategies to enter a position at a lower effective price could be a good idea though, as this is highly rewarding thanks to very high option premiums.</p><p>Palantir looks quite expensive but unlike many other hyped-up names, it could be worth its current valuation, I believe. I believe that the stock is interesting for very long-term oriented investors that want to see Palantir's potential play out over the next decades.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Is Palantir Actually Overvalued?</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\">\nIs Palantir Actually Overvalued?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-15 23:41 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4419080-is-palantir-actually-overvalued><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>(April 15) Palantir fell nearlr 3% in Thursday morning  trading.SummaryPalantir looks very expensive at first sight.

I believe that the stock is interesting for very long-term oriented investors that want to see Palantir's potential play out over the next decades.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":344,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":343664057,"gmtCreate":1617714310279,"gmtModify":1704702111830,"author":{"id":"3579300323687385","authorId":"3579300323687385","name":"CWONG","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579300323687385","idStr":"3579300323687385"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good sharing!","listText":"Good sharing!","text":"Good sharing!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/343664057","repostId":"1136891234","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1136891234","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617700048,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1136891234?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-06 17:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The 7 Best Blue-Chip Stocks in the Dow Jones","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1136891234","media":"investorplace","summary":"Blue-chip stocksare typically cornerstones of most long-term portfolios.

In 2020, the group also generated a record $35.4 billion cash from operations and $21.1 billion of free cash flow during the quarter. Bob Swan, Intel’s CEO at the time, noted:</p><blockquote>“We significantly exceeded our expectations for the quarter, capping off our fifth consecutive record year […] Demand for the computing performance Intel delivers remains very strong and our focus on growth opportunities is paying off […] Intel is in a strong strategic and financial position as we make this leadership transition and take Intel to the next level.”</blockquote><p>This pick of the blue-chip stocks has forward P/E and P/S ratios of 14.01 and 3.60, respectively.

Further, worldwide revenue for the fiscal year rose 2% YOY to $48 billion, while full-year non-GAAP EPS was $5.94. Management expects full-year 2021 sales between $51.8 billion and $53.8 billion as well as non-GAAP EPS between $6.48 and $6.68. On the results,CEO Kenneth Frazier commented:</p><blockquote>“Our scientists continue to advance our internal pipeline of promising medicines and vaccines, including in oncology, HIV, and pneumococcal disease, and, more recently, therapeutics for COVID-19. These pipeline developments provide us with increasing line-of-sight to significant potential growth drivers later this decade and into the next.”</blockquote><p>Merck’s forward P/E and P/S ratios are 11.84 and 3.74, respectively. This name is well-known as a reliable dividend company that also buys back shares. So, any decline in MRK stock during the upcoming earnings season would make it a strong candidate for dividend growth and passive income portfolios.</p><p><b>Microsoft (MSFT)</b><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8c8ae3a283aced0d27221350983b1b84\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com</p><p><b>52-week range:</b>$152.19 – $246.13</p><p><b>One-year change:</b>Up about 59%</p><p><b>Dividend yield:</b>0.92%</p><p>Tech darling Microsoft needs little introduction on this list of blue-chip stocks. The firm is best known for its Windows operating systems and Office productivity suite. Recent years have seen operations also extend to its cloud-based Microsoft Azure, which now competes with<b>Amazon’s</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMZN</u></b>)Amazon Web Services(AWS). Generally over the past year, MSFT shares have benefited greatly from the digitalization trend.</p><p>Microsoft announcedQ2 2021results at the end of January. Revenue was up by 17% YOY and came at $43.1 billion. The biggest revenue driver was the company’s Intelligent Cloud segment, with a 23% YOY increase. Additionally, net income increased 33% and reached $15.5 billion. Diluted EPS also jumped by 34% to $2.03. Finally, total cash and equivalents at the end of period stood at $132 billion. Amy Hood, CFO of Microsoft, commented on theearnings call:</p><blockquote>“[F]or FY21, with our strong performance in the first half of the fiscal year and our outlook for Q3, we expect to deliver another full year of double-digit revenue and operating income growth, as well as healthy operating margin expansion even after excluding the impact of the change in accounting estimate and COVID-related savings.”</blockquote><p>Management expects as much as $13.6 billion in revenue from the Productivity and Business processes segment in Q3. For the Intelligent Cloud segment, top line is estimated to be between $14.7 billion and $14.95 billion. Finally, the Personal Computing segment is anticipated to see $12.3 billion to $12.7 billion in revenue.</p><p>Right now, shares of MSFT stock are trading at a forward P/E of 32.88 and P/S of 11.16. Moving forward, analysts expect the company to become a leading name in artificial intelligence (AI) as well the Internet of Things (IoT). However, a potential decline toward $225 would improve the risk-return profile here.</p><p><b>Procter &amp; Gamble (PG)</b><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/45b53b66fab3681f2a637f3ddc511631\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: monticello / Shutterstock.com</p><p><b>52-week range:</b>$111.25 – $146.92</p><p><b>One-year change:</b>Up about 23%</p><p><b>Dividend yield:</b>2.36%</p><p>Procter &amp; Gamble is one of the most important consumer goods manufacturers worldwide. Billions of global citizens use its brands, including Ariel, Crest, Dawn, Gillette, Pampers, Tide and more. Altogether, the company has a strong market share both stateside and globally. Plus, the pandemic has meant increased sales for many of its household products.</p><p>Over the past several years, PG’s management has focused on making the company a leaner organization,narrowing its offeringto approximately 70 to 80 brands. As a result, organic growth has been stable. These restructuring efforts have also led to significant cost-cutting.</p><p>Like other blue-chip stocks on this list, this company announced fiscal year 2021 Q2resultsin late January. Net sales of $19.7 billion meant an increase of 8% YOY. Net earnings were $3.8 billion, up 4% YOY. Diluted net EPS was $1.47, also up 4%. Finally, free cash flow as of Dec. 31, 2020 was roughly $4.9 billion. Altogether, PG came out of 2020 with strong financials. President and CEO David Taylor noted:</p><blockquote>“We remain focused on executing our strategies of superiority, productivity, constructive disruption and improving P&amp;G’s organization and culture. These strategies enabled us to build strong business momentum before the COVID crisis, accelerated our progress in calendar year 2020 and remain the right strategies to deliver balanced growth and value creation over the long term.”</blockquote><p>However, PG stock’s forward P/E and P/S ratios of 23.60 and 4.38 point to an overstretched valuation level. So, interested investors might want to wait for the next quarterly results and a potential pullback toward $125. With a wide moat and dividend-aristocrat status, though, PG stock should appeal to a range of passive income seekers.</p><p><b>Salesforce (CRM)</b><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/985e4bb672af15b6221e22eb5273468c\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: Bjorn Bakstad / Shutterstock.com</p><p><b>52-week range:</b>$131.66 – $284.50</p><p><b>One-year change:</b>Up about 63%</p><p><b>Dividend yield:</b>N/A</p><p>Our next pick of the blue-chip stocks,Salesforcewas added to the DJIA back in August 2020.

What’s more, the company has been increasingly focused on cloud-based offerings.</p><p>Salesforce announcedQ4 and full-year resultsback in February. Quarterly revenue was $5.82 billion, up 20% YOY. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $1.04. Cash from operations for the quarter was also up 33%, at $2.17 billion. Total cash and equivalents came at $11.97 billion.</p><p>Furthermore, management raised its first-quarter fiscal 2022 revenue guidance to between roughly $5.88 billion and $5.89 billion, which would be growth of about 21%. On the results, CEO Marc Benioff noted: “We had a record quarter and year by innovating more and faster than ever, enabling our customers to be successful from anywhere, and becoming more relevant and strategic than ever.”</p><p>CRM stock’s forward P/E and P/S ratios are 63.58 and 7.82, respectively, pointing to an overextended valuation. Investors have recently started to rotate away from technology stocks. Therefore, a potential decline below $200 is possible in the coming weeks. Personally, CRM is on my strong wish list in Q2. As one of the largest software-as-a-service (SAAS) businesses, it has a bright future for the next decade.</p><p><b>Verizon</b>(VZ)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/930396687631bfd6e5b05cb01bc87841\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.com</p><p><b>52-week range:</b>$52.85- $61.95</p><p><b>One-year change:</b>Up about 10%</p><p><b>Dividend yield:</b>4.31%</p><p>Our last entry on this list of blue-chip stocks, Verizon is an important telecommunications group for the ongoing digitalization trend in the United States.

Management expects full-year 2021 sales between $51.8 billion and $53.8 billion as well as non-GAAP EPS between $6.48 and $6.68. On the results,CEO Kenneth Frazier commented:“Our scientists continue to advance our internal pipeline of promising medicines and vaccines, including in oncology, HIV, and pneumococcal disease, and, more recently, therapeutics for COVID-19. These pipeline developments provide us with increasing line-of-sight to significant potential growth drivers later this decade and into the next.”Merck’s forward P/E and P/S ratios are 11.84 and 3.74, respectively. This name is well-known as a reliable dividend company that also buys back shares. So, any decline in MRK stock during the upcoming earnings season would make it a strong candidate for dividend growth and passive income portfolios.Microsoft (MSFT)Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com52-week range:$152.19 – $246.13One-year change:Up about 59%Dividend yield:0.92%Tech darling Microsoft needs little introduction on this list of blue-chip stocks. The firm is best known for its Windows operating systems and Office productivity suite. Recent years have seen operations also extend to its cloud-based Microsoft Azure, which now competes withAmazon’s(NASDAQ:AMZN)Amazon Web Services(AWS). Generally over the past year, MSFT shares have benefited greatly from the digitalization trend.Microsoft announcedQ2 2021results at the end of January. Revenue was up by 17% YOY and came at $43.1 billion. The biggest revenue driver was the company’s Intelligent Cloud segment, with a 23% YOY increase. Additionally, net income increased 33% and reached $15.5 billion. Diluted EPS also jumped by 34% to $2.03. Finally, total cash and equivalents at the end of period stood at $132 billion. Amy Hood, CFO of Microsoft, commented on theearnings call:“[F]or FY21, with our strong performance in the first half of the fiscal year and our outlook for Q3, we expect to deliver another full year of double-digit revenue and operating income growth, as well as healthy operating margin expansion even after excluding the impact of the change in accounting estimate and COVID-related savings.”Management expects as much as $13.6 billion in revenue from the Productivity and Business processes segment in Q3. For the Intelligent Cloud segment, top line is estimated to be between $14.7 billion and $14.95 billion. Finally, the Personal Computing segment is anticipated to see $12.3 billion to $12.7 billion in revenue.Right now, shares of MSFT stock are trading at a forward P/E of 32.88 and P/S of 11.16. Moving forward, analysts expect the company to become a leading name in artificial intelligence (AI) as well the Internet of Things (IoT). However, a potential decline toward $225 would improve the risk-return profile here.Procter & Gamble (PG)Source: monticello / Shutterstock.com52-week range:$111.25 – $146.92One-year change:Up about 23%Dividend yield:2.36%Procter & Gamble is one of the most important consumer goods manufacturers worldwide. Billions of global citizens use its brands, including Ariel, Crest, Dawn, Gillette, Pampers, Tide and more. Altogether, the company has a strong market share both stateside and globally. Plus, the pandemic has meant increased sales for many of its household products.Over the past several years, PG’s management has focused on making the company a leaner organization,narrowing its offeringto approximately 70 to 80 brands. As a result, organic growth has been stable. These restructuring efforts have also led to significant cost-cutting.Like other blue-chip stocks on this list, this company announced fiscal year 2021 Q2resultsin late January. Net sales of $19.7 billion meant an increase of 8% YOY. Net earnings were $3.8 billion, up 4% YOY. Diluted net EPS was $1.47, also up 4%. Finally, free cash flow as of Dec. 31, 2020 was roughly $4.9 billion. Altogether, PG came out of 2020 with strong financials. President and CEO David Taylor noted:“We remain focused on executing our strategies of superiority, productivity, constructive disruption and improving P&G’s organization and culture. These strategies enabled us to build strong business momentum before the COVID crisis, accelerated our progress in calendar year 2020 and remain the right strategies to deliver balanced growth and value creation over the long term.”However, PG stock’s forward P/E and P/S ratios of 23.60 and 4.38 point to an overstretched valuation level. So, interested investors might want to wait for the next quarterly results and a potential pullback toward $125. With a wide moat and dividend-aristocrat status, though, PG stock should appeal to a range of passive income seekers.Salesforce (CRM)Source: Bjorn Bakstad / Shutterstock.com52-week range:$131.66 – $284.50One-year change:Up about 63%Dividend yield:N/AOur next pick of the blue-chip stocks,Salesforcewas added to the DJIA back in August 2020. This group provides customer relationship management (CRM) enterprise products. Its well-known platform includes marketing and sales automation, customer service, digital commerce, analytics and collaborative productivity tools. What’s more, the company has been increasingly focused on cloud-based offerings.Salesforce announcedQ4 and full-year resultsback in February. Quarterly revenue was $5.82 billion, up 20% YOY. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $1.04. Cash from operations for the quarter was also up 33%, at $2.17 billion. Total cash and equivalents came at $11.97 billion.Furthermore, management raised its first-quarter fiscal 2022 revenue guidance to between roughly $5.88 billion and $5.89 billion, which would be growth of about 21%. On the results, CEO Marc Benioff noted: “We had a record quarter and year by innovating more and faster than ever, enabling our customers to be successful from anywhere, and becoming more relevant and strategic than ever.”CRM stock’s forward P/E and P/S ratios are 63.58 and 7.82, respectively, pointing to an overextended valuation. Investors have recently started to rotate away from technology stocks. Therefore, a potential decline below $200 is possible in the coming weeks. Personally, CRM is on my strong wish list in Q2. As one of the largest software-as-a-service (SAAS) businesses, it has a bright future for the next decade.Verizon(VZ)Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.com52-week range:$52.85- $61.95One-year change:Up about 10%Dividend yield:4.31%Our last entry on this list of blue-chip stocks, Verizon is an important telecommunications group for the ongoing digitalization trend in the United States. It provides provides products and services in tech, communications, information and entertainment. It is also becoming asignificant player in 5G. With its voice, data and video services, the company generated revenues of $128.3 billion in 2020.Verizon announced Q4 and full-yearresultsin late January. Quarterly revenue was $34.7 billion, down fractionally YOY.Net income was $4.7 billion, which was down 9.6%.Adjusted EPS was $1.21, too. Finally, the companyended 2020 with free cash flow of $23.6 billion, an increase of about 32% YOY.CEO Hans Vestberg commented:“[Verizon] witnessed a mass shift toward virtual collaboration, touchless retail and delivery, remote work, distance learning, and telemedicine […] We continued to execute our multi-use network strategy; we were recognized by RootMetrics as the best overall wireless provider, undefeated in all categories; and we continue to be the partner of choice for the world’s most innovative brands. Today, we are excited to lead technological advances beyond mobile devices, and create new opportunities for growth across multiple industries.”VZ stock currently has forward P/E and P/S ratios of 11.49 and 1.81, respectively. All in all, 2020 became the year when consumers needed faster networks. Verizon succeeded in offering that. As a result, it has a dependable stream of revenue and cash — both crucial qualities in a dividend player.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":210,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":347618425,"gmtCreate":1618492676067,"gmtModify":1704711663931,"author":{"id":"3579300323687385","authorId":"3579300323687385","name":"CWONG","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579300323687385","idStr":"3579300323687385"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good news!","listText":"Good news!","text":"Good news!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/347618425","repostId":"1125852438","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":283,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":344684800,"gmtCreate":1618406587900,"gmtModify":1704710305792,"author":{"id":"3579300323687385","authorId":"3579300323687385","name":"CWONG","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579300323687385","idStr":"3579300323687385"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/344684800","repostId":"1102069142","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1102069142","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":1618403183,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1102069142?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-14 20:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Toplines Before US Market Open on Wednesday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1102069142","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Stocks set to rise after S&P 500 closed at another record.Bank earnings beat estimates, surge past l","content":"<ul><li>Stocks set to rise after S&amp;P 500 closed at another record.</li><li>Bank earnings beat estimates, surge past last year.</li><li>Coinbase gets $250 per share reference price ahead of direct listing.</li><li>CDC to convene advisory panel on J&amp;J Covid vaccine.</li><li>Moderna issues data on its Covid vaccine six months out.</li></ul><p>(April 14)&nbsp;U.S. futures inched higher with stocks as traders turned their attention to earnings reports from companies including JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

This fact of physics is the underlying worry of the stock market, that fuels our suspicions of bubbles. But investment firm Goldman Sachs doesn’t believe we should worry; the firm’s chief global equity strategist Peter Oppenheimer gives several reasons to expect that the market’s current upward trend is real. His key points include the equity risk premium, the real profits realized by the Big Tech giants, and the high savings rate of US households coming out of the COVID pandemic.Taking these points one at a time, Oppenheimer notes that in today’s regime of record-low interest rates, higher-risk stocks offer a premium; that is, their potential returns are far higher than safe bonds, and justify the added risk factor. On the second point, the giants of the tech industry represent a massive concentration of capital and wealth in just a few companies (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google); but these companies built that concentration through strong fundamentals and real profit growth, rather than bubble inflation. And finally, on the point of savings, the decline in overall economic activity during the pandemic period has left US households with some $1.5 trillion in accumulated savings – which can be used for retail stock investing.Taking Oppenheimer’s outlook and turning it into concrete recommendations, the pros at Goldman Sachs are giving three stocks a thumbs up. Specifically, the firm’s analysts see over 50% upside potential in store for each. We’ve looked up these stock calls in the TipRanks database, to find out if Wall Street agrees with Goldman's take.SpringWorks Therapeutics (SWTX)The first Goldman pick we’re looking at is a clinical-stage biotech firm in the oncology niche. SpringWorks uses a precision medicine approach in its development and commercialization of medical treatments for patient populations suffering from severe cancers and rare diseases. The company has an active pipeline, with programs investigating drug candidates for the treatment of desmoid tumors, plexiform neurofibromas, multiple myeloma, and metastatic solid tumors.The first two programs are the most highly advanced. Nirogacestat, the drug in testing against desmoid tumors, is undergoing Phase 3 study, and has received Orphan Drug Designation and Fast Track Designation from the FDA. The drug candidate operates through two therapeutic mechanisms, and has shown promise against multiple myeloma. Clinical studies of nirogacestat are underway for several additional indications.Mirdametinib, the company next most advanced drug candidate, is undergoing Phase 2b trial as a treatment for inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (NF1-PN). This is a rare cancer of the nervous system, affected the peripheral nerve sheaths and causing serious pain and disfigurement. NF1-PN can affect both children and adults, and mirdametinib is being studied as a treatment for both populations. As with Nirogacestat, the FDA has given Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations to this program. The trial is currently 70% enrolled and early data is described as ‘encouraging.’A large and active research program will always draw attention from Wall Street’s biotech experts, and Goldman analyst Corinne Jenkins has noted several upcoming catalysts for SprinWorks: “1) DeFi topline data in desmoid tumors (2H21), 2) mirdametinib + lifirafenib combination data (2021), 3) BGB-3245 first-in-human data (2021), 4) DREAMM-5 update in MM (2H21), and 5) detailed ReNeu interim clinical results (2021).”Building from that, the analyst sees the company showing strong return potential.“[We] see upside to the commercial outlook for SWTX’s rare oncology programs driven by extended duration of therapy, but view the clinical results expected this year as well-understood and therefore unlikely to significantly drive stock performance. We frame the collection of upcoming catalysts in a scenario analysis below which supports our view of an attractive risk/reward for the stock over the balance of 2021,” Jenkins opined.It should come as no surprise, then, that Jenkins is a fan. Jenkins rates SWTX a Buy, and her $112 one-year price target implies an upside of ~66% from current levels.Goldman Sachs is hardly the only firm to be impressed with SpringWorks. The company’s stock has 4 Buy reviews, for a unanimous Strong Buy consensus rating. The shares are priced at $67.28, and their $110 average price target suggests 63.5% upside potential for the coming months. (See SWTX stock analysis on TipRanks)Targa Resources Corporation (TRGP)We’ll shift gears now, and take a look at one of the energy sector’s midstream companies. Midstreamers are the companies that transport the hydrocarbons from wellheads to markets; splitting production and transport allows companies to streamline their operations. Targa operates a network of midstream assets in North America, mainly in Oklahoma-New Mexico-Texas-Louisiana. Assets include natural gas and crude oil pipelines, with ops divided into two segments: gathering & processing and logistics & transportation.Targa has seen business increase over the past year. TRGP achieved 4Q20 adj EBITDA of $438 million, slightly above the $433 million Street median estimate. Full year adj EBITDA of $1.637 billion exceeded the $1.5bn-$1.625bn guide. Looking ahead, TRGP expects 2021 adj. EBITDA of $1.675bn-$1.775bn, or 5% YoY growth at the midpoint, which compares favorably to the Street median estimates of $1.698bn/$1.684bn.Targa’s shares have been rising. The stock is up an impressive 375% in the past 12 months, and Goldman Sachs analyst John Mackay sees more upside in the cards.Mackay gives TRGP a Buy rating, along with a $49 price target, suggesting a 51% one-year upside. (To watch Mackay’s track record, click here)“Our thesis for TRGP, briefly put, is that we see its strategic Permian and downstream NGL assets supporting higher-than-consensus EBITDA (GSe ~7% higher on average vs. Eikon for 2022+), which could allow larger — and sooner than expected — incremental returns of capital — all supported by a valuation that remains relatively cheap…. [As] the year progresses, we expect the focus to shift to the large upcoming capital allocation catalyst that (we anticipate) should come in early 2022 once TRGP completes its planned DevCo consolidations,” Mackay wrote.There is broad-based agreement on Wall Street that Targa is buying proposition. Of the 15 recent reviews, 13 are to Buy against just 2 Holds. The $38.27 average price target indicates a potential for 18% upside from the current trading price of $32.45. (See TRGP stock analysis on TipRanks)ADT, Inc. (ADT)For the last stock on Goldman's list, we’ll switch gears again, this time to the home security sector. ADT provides a range of security services focused on alarm monitoring. Services include burglar and fire alarms, packages that include 24/7 monitoring, motion detectors, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and ‘smart home’ modifications. ADT’s services are available in the residential and commercial markets.The company’s revenue stream has remained stable through the past year, between $1.3 billion and $1.37 billion, and each quarter’s result was flat or slightly higher year-over-year. The full year’s revenues were 4% up from 2019. The company’s earnings net loss moderated through the year, and the Q4 result of a 14 cent net loss was the lowest of the year.Among the bulls is Goldman Sachs analyst George Tong who writes: “We believe ADT is well positioned to capitalize on new growth opportunities, including strong new home construction trends and rising smart home demand, as it offensively steps up its subscriber acquisition costs by $150-250mn this year. With these investments, management plans to deliver accelerated mid-teens gross recurring monthly revenue additions growth in 2021. We expect ADT to increase its penetration of the fast growing smart home category longer-term with this incremental spend…”The Goldman analyst sets a $13 price target on this stock to go along with his Buy rating, implying a 58% upside for the next 12 months. (To watch Tong’s track record, click here)Tong takes the bullish view of ADT, but there is a range of opinions on Wall Street. ADT has a Moderate Buy rating, based on a 3-1-1 split between Buy, Hold, and Sell ratings. The current share price is $8.21, and the average price target of $10.55 suggests ~28.5% upside from that level.

The Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.9% to 14,138.78, hitting its first fresh record close since Feb. 12. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 61.92 points, or 0.2%, to 33,981.57, however, dragged down by Procter & Gamble, Walmart and Coca Cola. The consumer staples sector was the biggest loser Monday, falling more than 1%.The decline in consumer companies came amid surging commodity prices, which fueled fears of inflation.Corn futures hit their highest levelin more than seven years in volatile trading, whilecopper climbedto its highest level in nearly a decade. Commodities are a big portion of costs for consumer staples.Bank of America data showed the number of \"inflation\" mentions during earnings calls this reporting season has tripled compared to last year, the biggest jump since 2004 when the bank started tracking the number.With the global economy gradually reopening, firms like Boeing,Fordand Caterpillar are expected to notecost pressures they are facingfrom rising materials and transportation prices when they report earnings this week.\"Inflation is arguably the biggest topic during this earnings season,\" Savita Subramanian,  head of U.S. equity and quantitative strategy at Bank of America, said in a note. \"Raw materials, transportation, labor, etc. were cited as major drivers of inflation and many plan to (or already did) raise prices to pass through higher costs.\"Tesla shares climbed more than 1% ahead of the electric carmaker's earnings report after the bell Monday.About a third of the S&P 500 this week is set to update investors on how their businesses fared during the three months ended March 31. Some of the largest tech companies in the world are scheduled to report results this week, includingApple,Microsoft,AmazonandAlphabet.Corporations have for the most part managed to beat Wall Street's forecasts thus far into earnings season. With 25% of the companies in the S&P 500 reporting first-quarter results, 84% have reported a positive per-share earnings surprise and 77% have topped revenue estimates.\"Growth is still improving and liquidity is still abundant,\" Andrew Sheets, chief cross-asset strategist at Morgan Stanley, said in a note. \"The bull market remains intact, and I struggle to see the type of calamity that defined the summers of 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2015. But a harder, choppier, more range-bound summer does seem likely.\"If 84% is the final percentage, it will tie the mark for the highest percentage of S&P 500 companies reporting a positive EPS surprise since FactSet began tracking this metric in 2008.Still, strong first-quarter results have been met with a mostly lukewarm reception from investors. Strategists say already-high valuations and near-record-high levels on the S&P 500 and Dow have kept traders' enthusiasm in check. Both indexes are within 1% of their all-time highs.\"Despite the strong earnings reports we've seen thus far, the market is really taking beats in stride amid already high valuations,\" said Chris Larkin, managing director of trading and investing product at E-Trade.Data out Monday showed new orders for capital goods rebounded less than expected in March. The Commerce Department said orders for non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft rose 0.9% last month, missing Dow Jones estimates of a 2.2% increase.Equity markets came under pressure last week after multiple outlets reported that Biden will seek toincrease the capital gains taxon wealthy Americans to help pay for the second part of his Build Back Better agenda. The president is expected to detail the $1.8 trillion plan, including spending proposals aimed at worker education and family support, to a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening.The S&P 500 ended the volatile week down 0.13% and snapped a four-week win streak. The Dow and the Nasdaq fell 0.5% and 0.3% last week, respectively.The Federal Reserve, which meets on Tuesday and Wednesday, is expected to defend its policy of letting inflation run hot, while assuring markets it sees the pick-up in prices as only temporary. Chairman Powell will host a press conference Wednesday afternoon to discuss the Federal Open Market Committee's decision.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":458,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":379218507,"gmtCreate":1618744031009,"gmtModify":1704714522509,"author":{"id":"3579300323687385","authorId":"3579300323687385","name":"CWONG","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579300323687385","idStr":"3579300323687385"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Expect more countries to ban cryptocurrency, after Turkey.","listText":"Expect more countries to ban cryptocurrency, after Turkey.","text":"Expect more countries to ban cryptocurrency, after Turkey.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379218507","repostId":"1145242426","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1145242426","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":1618579826,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1145242426?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-16 21:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. stocks gained in Friday open.

The year over year gain is the highest since August 2018.The index was projected to rise 0.5% on a monthly basis and 2.5% from March 2020, according to Dow Jones estimates.That big surge on a year-over-year basis came due to what economists call the “base effect” or the lower level used for comparison. In March 2020, the government had just begun a massive shutdown of U.S. businesses that ultimately would see more than 22 million Americans sent to the unemployment line.Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, increased 0.3% monthly and 1.6% year over year.While the inflation numbers look high, many economists as well as policymakers at the Federal Reserve expect the increase to be temporary. April likely also will show a sharp rise, but then the numbers are supposed to decrease as the worst months of the shutdown fall out of the data comparisons.Fed officials have said they won’t adjust policy based on short-term jumps in inflation readings. Chairman Jerome Powell told “60 Minutes” in an interview aired Sunday evening that he does not expect any interest rate hikes this year.Still, markets have been pricing in higher growth and inflation, with government bond yields rising to their highest levels since before the pandemic. The economic reopening coupled with unprecedented levels of public policy support are contributing to the inflationary environment.Fed officials see growth this year around 6.5%, which would be the fastest increase since 1984.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":159,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":342384283,"gmtCreate":1618185418442,"gmtModify":1704707133567,"author":{"id":"3579300323687385","authorId":"3579300323687385","name":"CWONG","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579300323687385","idStr":"3579300323687385"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good!","listText":"Good!","text":"Good!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/342384283","repostId":"1171495398","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1171495398","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617955432,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1171495398?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-09 16:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"EVs May Have Short Ranges, But NIO Stock Has A Lot Further To Go","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1171495398","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nAt this price, NIO offers a very interesting investment opportunity that many institutional","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>At this price, NIO offers a very interesting investment opportunity that many institutional investors have already seized.</li>\n <li>The company continues to show great growth, advancement in its technology and has the power of the CCP behind it.</li>\n <li>In this article, I compare NIO to Tesla.

I believe NIO Limited (NIO) at today’s price, around $40, offers an incredibly attractive investment opportunity. This company has the growth, investor appreciation, and government help to become one of the main players in the EV space. I predict NIO shares could easily double within the next 6 months.</p>\n<p><b>Company Overview</b></p>\n<p>NIO is mostly known for manufacturing Electric Vehicles; but like its American counterpart, Tesla, Inc. (TSLA), the company also offers battery and charging solutions/services, such as the Power Home, Power Swap, and Public Charger. The company was founded in 2014 under a different name and has been publicly traded since 2018. To begin this article, I would like to address an issue that has been bothering me since the last quarterly report. NIO shares dropped sharply after the last results, and there seemed to be some consensus that they underperformed. This was not my take.</p>\n<p>NIO did miss EPS and revenue estimates. It lost $0.16 per share, which was $0.10 more than Wall Street estimates. It also missed revenue estimates by $20 million, bringing in “only” $1 billion. However, in what could be considered the most important metric, deliveries, it did well, and the latest March results continue to show just how strong NIO’s growth is:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a1666a8eadd346167bff78e38fdf4277\" tg-width=\"904\" tg-height=\"478\"><span>Source: NIO Investor Relations</span></p>\n<p>Even amid a pandemic and with the Chinese New Year in the way, NIO increased deliveries by over 100% YoY and 50% QoQ. In March, NIO delivered 7257 vehicles, increasing by 373% YoY.</p>\n<p>Looking at these numbers, it is hard to believe that only a month ago NIO was trading a good 30% higher than today. But the smart money knows that this is a buying opportunity. In March, Norges Bank, the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund,increased its stake in NIO&nbsp;by almost 5000%.</p>\n<p><b>What sets NIO apart</b></p>\n<p>Many people agree that EVs will be one of the hottest sectors in 2021-2022, but there are still many companies in this area to choose from. I argue in this section that NIO has the best prospects considering growth, valuation, and the regulatory environment.</p>\n<p><b>Don’t fear China</b></p>\n<p>This has been a long-standing claim of mine, and something that I&nbsp;discussed more in-depthin this Alibaba Group Holdings (BABA) article. Some investors will always claim that investing in China is “too risky”. The financial media is full of noise, and part of being an effective investor means blocking it out. While there are certainly “dodgy” companies in China, the same can be said of U.S. companies. Plug Power (PLUG), for example, had to restate its latest financial results due to accounting concerns, something that companies like NIO and BABA have not had to do. It is up to everyone to do their due diligence.</p>\n<p>I feel that investing in Chinese companies makes sense. China is already on track to dethrone the U.S. as the biggest economy in the world. The pandemic may have&nbsp;accelerated this shift. On top of that, China has expressed a commitment towards moving towards EVs.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a9da37fd937691e9a7bd4864e3370277\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"648\"><span>Source: McKinsey Report</span></p>\n<p>As we can see, McKinsey’s estimates show that China’s EV market was three times the size of the United States and Europe and has grown at a much faster rate. On a final note, if you are concerned that China will do something to hurt EVs, perhaps it is Tesla you should be worried about. While Tesla does produce in Shanghai, it is an American company, and if push comes to shove, I do believe the CCP will protect NIO before it does Tesla.</p>\n<p><b>Technology and Supply</b></p>\n<p>Unlike many of the new names in the speculative EV space, NIO has a proven track record of making cars that work well and can compete with Tesla in terms of price and efficiency. On the latest battery day, NIO announced that by the fourth quarter of 2022, its&nbsp;solid-state 150kWh batteries&nbsp;will be available. This should allow older models to get a range of 528-566 miles and the NIO ET7 up to 620 miles. While there are other factors to take into account with this technology, and we are talking about something that is more than a year away, bear in mind that Tesla’s Model S has about 400 miles of range.</p>\n<p>Speaking of batteries, it is a well-known fact that these components require raw materials, of which nickel stands out. Over the past few years, nickel’s price and demand have risen considerably, but in a great turn of events for EV manufacturers, and more so NIO, the Chinese are now&nbsp;converting low-grade nickel(NPI) into nickel matte, which has around 65-75% nickel content. Prices have dropped sharply since this news was announced on March 5th, and due to its connections with China and geographical location, NIO is set to benefit the most from this.</p>\n<p>Lastly, I am quite optimistic about NIO’s inroads in Autonomous Driving technology. NIO has partnered with Intel's (INTC) Mobileye which I believe has&nbsp;one of the best technologies&nbsp;out there for Autonomous Driving. The latest NIO model, the ET7, alreadyfeatures this technology, and there is even talk that NIO could offer this technology as a service, potentially making it a great software company too.</p>\n<p><b>Financial health and ratios</b></p>\n<p>I am bullish on the EV sector and have exposure to a few companies in it. Having said this, NIO is in my opinion the best option in terms of overall growth and financial health.</p>\n<p>In the table below, I compare NIO and Tesla today in terms of growth, profitability, financial health, and valuation.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dd8619f37eefb8adaf313a3c0e11b38c\" tg-width=\"726\" tg-height=\"698\"><span>Data Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>First off, NIO is by far the best company in terms of growth, both past and future. This is backed up by our prior analysis of the Chinese economy. The main snag with NIO is its profitability. Both the EBIT and EBITDA margins are negative, while Tesla has achieved profitability in the last year. However, this is something to expect with a growth company. The main issue here would be that, since NIO loses money, its financial health may be compromised, but this is not the case right now. NIO has the stronger balance sheet with the highest current and quick ratio, and the lowest proportion of long-term debt/capital.</p>\n<p>In terms of valuation ratios, NIO does trade at similar though slightly lower valuations than Tesla. Price to Book is significantly lower, which I like.</p>\n<p><b>NIO: Following the footsteps of Tesla?</b></p>\n<p>Without a doubt, I’d say NIO and Tesla have become the most representative companies in the EV sector. Both have some differences, but overall they offer a similar product and address a similar market. Both offer cars that run on electricity using battery technology and price ranges for their cars start at around $60,000. Both NIO and Tesla benefit directly from government subsidies; Tesla through regulatory credits, while NIO has received direct investment from the government, which is also spending a lot on developing the necessary infrastructure to make EVs viable in China.</p>\n<p>Putting a price on NIO (or Tesla) is very hard because many factors are coming into play. However, one interesting hypothesis would be to assume that NIO can achieve similar growth and operating performance as Tesla did during a similar period in relation to when it was founded. The idea here is that since NIO is in a way a “newer version of Tesla”, we can use the past performance of the latter as an indication of where NIO could be heading in terms of growth and profitability.</p>\n<p>I would label this as a conservative hypothesis since the arguments made above are strong indications that NIO could be set to outperform Tesla. Key differences are the fact that Chinese demand is stronger, and profitability could improve thanks to the BaaS model and government subsidies. Also, both NIO and Tesla are and will be even closer to reaping the benefits of AI and driverless technology in the next few years.</p>\n<p>Now let us imagine that NIO does evolve in a similar way to Tesla in terms of its growth and operations. If we look at Tesla’s operations in numbers, we see that as revenue has been growing at a fast pace, gross margin has remained relatively stable, while SG&amp;A cost and investment in R&amp;D have been diminishing gradually, proportional to revenue. The following chart shows the evolution of these items over the last 10 years, as can be found on the public financial statements.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b19f77053dbeaced14e1becfcde6385c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"164\"><span>Source: Author’s work and public financial records. Items in millions of USD. Percentages refer to percentage of revenue.</span></p>\n<p>We are going to use a recent EV/Operating Income multiple to get an idea of how NIO could evolve in future years. For that purpose, the following chart estimates Enterprise Value by adding total debt at the end of the year to the approximate market capitalization. It is approximate because we are combining the number of shares outstanding in December, as per the latest financial statements released, with the share price at the end of the following March, coinciding with the time of analysis.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ae06a34fb5ce5c1d1ca017f83ced7a53\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"104\"><span>Source: Author’s work and public financial records. Items in millions of USD except multiples and share price.</span></p>\n<p>We can see that the EV/Operating Income multiple was negative for most of the time while Operating Income was negative and peaked in 2019. The 2019 figure is not very relevant, as operations had just about broken even. We will focus on the multiple in 2020, of just over 300.</p>\n<p>Moving on to NIO, our hypothetical exercise of placing it in Tesla’s path brings us to a 7-year difference, with NIO’s 2020 resembling Tesla’s 2013 the most. The following chart shows NIO’s operations in numbers, from 2018 to 2020, adding what the next 7 years could look like if they follow a similar path. The revenue has been estimated based on a smoother version of Tesla’s actual revenue figures, with the relative gross margin and operating expenses evolving gradually to Tesla’s current levels, reaching a similar level in 2027 to Tesla’s 2020. Actual figures are in pink with hypothetical figures in blue. You also have a chart showing the function we used for the revenue path.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/036b835e6d31f3f5fc7162b7169bf9ad\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"163\"></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9140b53c3d81a69e9c08f6c092a1c74e\" tg-width=\"386\" tg-height=\"221\"><span>Source: Author’s work and public financial records. Items in millions of USD. Percentages refer to percentage of revenue.</span></p>\n<p>If we compare the two companies for the first three years (2018 to 2020 for NIO and 2011 to 2013 for Tesla), we see that NIO is a little ahead in revenue and a little behind on margins, but on an improving trajectory.</p>\n<p>Finally, we will use Tesla’s current EV/Operating Income multiple (as we calculated before) to estimate NIO’s potential share price in 7 years. It is impossible to predict how NIO will be financed so far into the future, so we will imagine that along the way they are subjected to the same degree of dilution as Tesla’s shares (same relative increase in the number of shares outstanding) and a similar evolution of the debt to sales ratio. The chart below shows you how this would look by 2027, with a potential share price of over 318. We have skipped the years in between to avoid unnecessary detail in speculation. You also have a chart showing the function we used to estimate total debt in 2027.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6b0a6abb6d5846ca855032eb5dac7450\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"104\"></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8b74138a3220270b3c9b252be8c023d7\" tg-width=\"385\" tg-height=\"223\"><span>Source: Author’s work and public financial records. Items in millions of USD except multiples and share price.</span></p>\n<p>Finally, with a share price of $318 in 7 years, we have made a simple chart matching a series of hypothetical returns from appreciation over the period for a series of potential current/near future prices, with the current price between the $37-$41 range offering 34-36% return. As you can see, the article thesis that the price could double in the short run would still leave room for a performance above 20%, given this hypothesis.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/726697a034157b8302101a5e3990aea5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"1162\"><span>Source: Author’s work.</span></p>\n<p><b>Risks</b></p>\n<p>With all this in mind, it is important to note some significant risks to NIO’s bull thesis. For starters, this is an incredibly competitive space. NIO doesn’t just compete with new EV companies but, as I mentioned before, also competes with many of the old and established carmakers that are perfectly capable of making EVs, have established brands and much larger production capacities. On that note, it is also important to point out that NIO doesn’t yet have a factory of its own, which can be seen as both good and bad, but it poses a risk to its growth.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, while I previously mentioned the new batteries that NIO is producing, overall I believe that Tesla will keep the upper hand in this technology.

One could argue that Tesla had a first-mover advantage, but this has also been detrimental to its business. Tesla had to essentially create the EV market and invest billions into infrastructure to make its business model possible. In a way, Tesla has paved the way for NIO and made it much easier for them to enter the market.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>EVs May Have Short Ranges, But NIO Stock Has A Lot Further To Go</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\">\nEVs May Have Short Ranges, But NIO Stock Has A Lot Further To Go\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-09 16:03 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4418174-evs-may-short-ranges-nio-stock-lot-to-go><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nAt this price, NIO offers a very interesting investment opportunity that many institutional investors have already seized.\nThe company continues to show great growth, advancement in its ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4418174-evs-may-short-ranges-nio-stock-lot-to-go\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NIO":"蔚来"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4418174-evs-may-short-ranges-nio-stock-lot-to-go","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1171495398","content_text":"Summary\n\nAt this price, NIO offers a very interesting investment opportunity that many institutional investors have already seized.\nThe company continues to show great growth, advancement in its technology and has the power of the CCP behind it.\nIn this article, I compare NIO to Tesla. Given how the latter has evolved in terms of price and operating performance, NIO could double in the next few months.\n\nThesis Summary\nThe recent sell-off in technology stocks has given us some very attractive stock prices. I believe NIO Limited (NIO) at today’s price, around $40, offers an incredibly attractive investment opportunity. This company has the growth, investor appreciation, and government help to become one of the main players in the EV space. I predict NIO shares could easily double within the next 6 months.\nCompany Overview\nNIO is mostly known for manufacturing Electric Vehicles; but like its American counterpart, Tesla, Inc. (TSLA), the company also offers battery and charging solutions/services, such as the Power Home, Power Swap, and Public Charger. The company was founded in 2014 under a different name and has been publicly traded since 2018. To begin this article, I would like to address an issue that has been bothering me since the last quarterly report. NIO shares dropped sharply after the last results, and there seemed to be some consensus that they underperformed. This was not my take.\nNIO did miss EPS and revenue estimates. It lost $0.16 per share, which was $0.10 more than Wall Street estimates. It also missed revenue estimates by $20 million, bringing in “only” $1 billion. However, in what could be considered the most important metric, deliveries, it did well, and the latest March results continue to show just how strong NIO’s growth is:\nSource: NIO Investor Relations\nEven amid a pandemic and with the Chinese New Year in the way, NIO increased deliveries by over 100% YoY and 50% QoQ. In March, NIO delivered 7257 vehicles, increasing by 373% YoY.\nLooking at these numbers, it is hard to believe that only a month ago NIO was trading a good 30% higher than today. But the smart money knows that this is a buying opportunity. In March, Norges Bank, the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund,increased its stake in NIO by almost 5000%.\nWhat sets NIO apart\nMany people agree that EVs will be one of the hottest sectors in 2021-2022, but there are still many companies in this area to choose from. I argue in this section that NIO has the best prospects considering growth, valuation, and the regulatory environment.\nDon’t fear China\nThis has been a long-standing claim of mine, and something that I discussed more in-depthin this Alibaba Group Holdings (BABA) article. Some investors will always claim that investing in China is “too risky”. The financial media is full of noise, and part of being an effective investor means blocking it out. While there are certainly “dodgy” companies in China, the same can be said of U.S. companies. Plug Power (PLUG), for example, had to restate its latest financial results due to accounting concerns, something that companies like NIO and BABA have not had to do. It is up to everyone to do their due diligence.\nI feel that investing in Chinese companies makes sense. China is already on track to dethrone the U.S. as the biggest economy in the world. The pandemic may have accelerated this shift. On top of that, China has expressed a commitment towards moving towards EVs.\nSource: McKinsey Report\nAs we can see, McKinsey’s estimates show that China’s EV market was three times the size of the United States and Europe and has grown at a much faster rate. On a final note, if you are concerned that China will do something to hurt EVs, perhaps it is Tesla you should be worried about. While Tesla does produce in Shanghai, it is an American company, and if push comes to shove, I do believe the CCP will protect NIO before it does Tesla.\nTechnology and Supply\nUnlike many of the new names in the speculative EV space, NIO has a proven track record of making cars that work well and can compete with Tesla in terms of price and efficiency. On the latest battery day, NIO announced that by the fourth quarter of 2022, its solid-state 150kWh batteries will be available. This should allow older models to get a range of 528-566 miles and the NIO ET7 up to 620 miles. While there are other factors to take into account with this technology, and we are talking about something that is more than a year away, bear in mind that Tesla’s Model S has about 400 miles of range.\nSpeaking of batteries, it is a well-known fact that these components require raw materials, of which nickel stands out. Over the past few years, nickel’s price and demand have risen considerably, but in a great turn of events for EV manufacturers, and more so NIO, the Chinese are now converting low-grade nickel(NPI) into nickel matte, which has around 65-75% nickel content. Prices have dropped sharply since this news was announced on March 5th, and due to its connections with China and geographical location, NIO is set to benefit the most from this.\nLastly, I am quite optimistic about NIO’s inroads in Autonomous Driving technology. NIO has partnered with Intel's (INTC) Mobileye which I believe has one of the best technologies out there for Autonomous Driving. The latest NIO model, the ET7, alreadyfeatures this technology, and there is even talk that NIO could offer this technology as a service, potentially making it a great software company too.\nFinancial health and ratios\nI am bullish on the EV sector and have exposure to a few companies in it. Having said this, NIO is in my opinion the best option in terms of overall growth and financial health.\nIn the table below, I compare NIO and Tesla today in terms of growth, profitability, financial health, and valuation.\nData Source: Seeking Alpha\nFirst off, NIO is by far the best company in terms of growth, both past and future. This is backed up by our prior analysis of the Chinese economy. The main snag with NIO is its profitability. Both the EBIT and EBITDA margins are negative, while Tesla has achieved profitability in the last year. However, this is something to expect with a growth company. The main issue here would be that, since NIO loses money, its financial health may be compromised, but this is not the case right now. NIO has the stronger balance sheet with the highest current and quick ratio, and the lowest proportion of long-term debt/capital.\nIn terms of valuation ratios, NIO does trade at similar though slightly lower valuations than Tesla. Price to Book is significantly lower, which I like.\nNIO: Following the footsteps of Tesla?\nWithout a doubt, I’d say NIO and Tesla have become the most representative companies in the EV sector. Both have some differences, but overall they offer a similar product and address a similar market. Both offer cars that run on electricity using battery technology and price ranges for their cars start at around $60,000. Both NIO and Tesla benefit directly from government subsidies; Tesla through regulatory credits, while NIO has received direct investment from the government, which is also spending a lot on developing the necessary infrastructure to make EVs viable in China.\nPutting a price on NIO (or Tesla) is very hard because many factors are coming into play. However, one interesting hypothesis would be to assume that NIO can achieve similar growth and operating performance as Tesla did during a similar period in relation to when it was founded. The idea here is that since NIO is in a way a “newer version of Tesla”, we can use the past performance of the latter as an indication of where NIO could be heading in terms of growth and profitability.\nI would label this as a conservative hypothesis since the arguments made above are strong indications that NIO could be set to outperform Tesla. Key differences are the fact that Chinese demand is stronger, and profitability could improve thanks to the BaaS model and government subsidies. Also, both NIO and Tesla are and will be even closer to reaping the benefits of AI and driverless technology in the next few years.\nNow let us imagine that NIO does evolve in a similar way to Tesla in terms of its growth and operations. If we look at Tesla’s operations in numbers, we see that as revenue has been growing at a fast pace, gross margin has remained relatively stable, while SG&A cost and investment in R&D have been diminishing gradually, proportional to revenue. The following chart shows the evolution of these items over the last 10 years, as can be found on the public financial statements.\nSource: Author’s work and public financial records. Items in millions of USD. Percentages refer to percentage of revenue.\nWe are going to use a recent EV/Operating Income multiple to get an idea of how NIO could evolve in future years. For that purpose, the following chart estimates Enterprise Value by adding total debt at the end of the year to the approximate market capitalization. It is approximate because we are combining the number of shares outstanding in December, as per the latest financial statements released, with the share price at the end of the following March, coinciding with the time of analysis.\nSource: Author’s work and public financial records. Items in millions of USD except multiples and share price.\nWe can see that the EV/Operating Income multiple was negative for most of the time while Operating Income was negative and peaked in 2019. The 2019 figure is not very relevant, as operations had just about broken even. We will focus on the multiple in 2020, of just over 300.\nMoving on to NIO, our hypothetical exercise of placing it in Tesla’s path brings us to a 7-year difference, with NIO’s 2020 resembling Tesla’s 2013 the most. The following chart shows NIO’s operations in numbers, from 2018 to 2020, adding what the next 7 years could look like if they follow a similar path. The revenue has been estimated based on a smoother version of Tesla’s actual revenue figures, with the relative gross margin and operating expenses evolving gradually to Tesla’s current levels, reaching a similar level in 2027 to Tesla’s 2020. Actual figures are in pink with hypothetical figures in blue. You also have a chart showing the function we used for the revenue path.\n\nSource: Author’s work and public financial records. Items in millions of USD. Percentages refer to percentage of revenue.\nIf we compare the two companies for the first three years (2018 to 2020 for NIO and 2011 to 2013 for Tesla), we see that NIO is a little ahead in revenue and a little behind on margins, but on an improving trajectory.\nFinally, we will use Tesla’s current EV/Operating Income multiple (as we calculated before) to estimate NIO’s potential share price in 7 years. It is impossible to predict how NIO will be financed so far into the future, so we will imagine that along the way they are subjected to the same degree of dilution as Tesla’s shares (same relative increase in the number of shares outstanding) and a similar evolution of the debt to sales ratio. The chart below shows you how this would look by 2027, with a potential share price of over 318. We have skipped the years in between to avoid unnecessary detail in speculation. You also have a chart showing the function we used to estimate total debt in 2027.\n\nSource: Author’s work and public financial records. Items in millions of USD except multiples and share price.\nFinally, with a share price of $318 in 7 years, we have made a simple chart matching a series of hypothetical returns from appreciation over the period for a series of potential current/near future prices, with the current price between the $37-$41 range offering 34-36% return. As you can see, the article thesis that the price could double in the short run would still leave room for a performance above 20%, given this hypothesis.\nSource: Author’s work.\nRisks\nWith all this in mind, it is important to note some significant risks to NIO’s bull thesis. For starters, this is an incredibly competitive space. NIO doesn’t just compete with new EV companies but, as I mentioned before, also competes with many of the old and established carmakers that are perfectly capable of making EVs, have established brands and much larger production capacities. On that note, it is also important to point out that NIO doesn’t yet have a factory of its own, which can be seen as both good and bad, but it poses a risk to its growth.\nFurthermore, while I previously mentioned the new batteries that NIO is producing, overall I believe that Tesla will keep the upper hand in this technology. In an insightful video by Cleanerwatt, the author argues that while NIO batteries will have more energy density, Tesla’s batteries are much more weight-efficient.\nSource: YouTube\nThis is important, but we must also take into account that there is a limit to how powerful these batteries need to be. For now, the range is the biggest issue with EVs, but it won’t be in the future and I believe both NIO and Tesla will work their way around this well enough.\nLastly, there are still lingering and real concerns over the supply of semiconductors, of which we have had shortages in the last few months. NIO’s main calling point right now is growth, and that growth could be severely halted if the chip shortages persist and relationships between China and the U.S. continue to sour. Overall, I believe the Taiwan situation is overhyped, but this is a whole other issue I will have to address in a different article. Nonetheless, the threat is there and some investors are easily spooked.\nTakeaway\nIn conclusion, there are compelling reasons to believe that NIO could become a key player in the fast-growing EV market in the coming years. If NIO can perform similar to Tesla, the stock should provide investors with significant returns. If anything though, I’d expect NIO to be able to outperform Tesla’s past performance. One could argue that Tesla had a first-mover advantage, but this has also been detrimental to its business. Tesla had to essentially create the EV market and invest billions into infrastructure to make its business model possible.
