As seen in Table 1, all iPhone events since the iPhone 4S in 2011 were introduced later than the Sept. 7, 2022, date of the iPhone 14 event.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/451e6dca9b021a86a3b3e6149c2fc333\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"406\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Apple</p><p><i>This suggests that Apple’s supply chain is under control and can deliver on time.</i> In previous years, several iPhones were introduced later than planned, primarily due to supply chain issues. The iPhone 12 was delayed because of 5G parts shortages.</p><p>Last year&#39;s iPhone 13 production ultimately fell 20% short of the initial plan in September and October. The root cause of delays revolved around the need for a supplier ramp of sensor-shift optical image stabilization to all four iPhone 13 models when Apple had only used sensor-shift stabilization on the iPhone 12 Pro Max, while the other models relied on OIS (optical image stabilization).</p><p>Even with the iPhone 14 development, there have been glitches in the camera coating. Rear cameras that Taiwan’s Genius Electronic Optical Co. supplied experienced coating-crack quality issues. As a result, Apple had to move 10 million lens orders to Largan Precision to prevent iPhone 14 shipment delays.</p><p><b>Smartphone Shipments May Be Down, But Apple is Up – A Positive</b></p><p>Much of the negative news surrounding the consumer electronics market is a headline that&#39;s not well thought out. Indeed, smartphone shipments decreased on a YoY basis, but Apple shipments increased.</p><p>Research firm Counterpoint Researchsaidthat Apple saw 147% year-over-year growth in the $1,000 and above portion of the smartphone market, accounting for 46% of the total market.</p><p>On aglobal basis, overall smartphone shipments fell -7% YoY to 291 million units in Q2 2022. But Apple shipped 48 million iPhones worldwide, up +3% YoY, for 16% global market share in Q2 2022, as shown in Chart 1. This is the highest second quarter market share for Apple over the past 10 years, at the expense of leading Chinese brands who were hampered by the sluggish performance in both home and overseas market. Apple had a good quarter, led by iPhone 13 series which continued to ramp up volumes in US, China and other key markets, according to the company.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/35ce09c08e448a2b3f6e63ee6c14e875\" tg-width=\"296\" tg-height=\"352\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Strategy Analytics</span></p><p>Chart 1</p><h3>Will Dour Economy Influence iPhone 14 Sales?</h3><p>Macroeconomic headwinds have been a challenge for investors, particularly inflation. In the past month since Apple’s F3Q earnings call, these headwinds have abated somewhat.

As seen in Table 1, all iPhone events since the iPhone 4S in 2011 were introduced later than the Sept. 7, 2022, date of the iPhone 14 event.AppleThis suggests that Apple’s supply chain is under control and can deliver on time. In previous years, several iPhones were introduced later than planned, primarily due to supply chain issues. The iPhone 12 was delayed because of 5G parts shortages.Last year's iPhone 13 production ultimately fell 20% short of the initial plan in September and October. The root cause of delays revolved around the need for a supplier ramp of sensor-shift optical image stabilization to all four iPhone 13 models when Apple had only used sensor-shift stabilization on the iPhone 12 Pro Max, while the other models relied on OIS (optical image stabilization).Even with the iPhone 14 development, there have been glitches in the camera coating. Rear cameras that Taiwan’s Genius Electronic Optical Co. supplied experienced coating-crack quality issues. As a result, Apple had to move 10 million lens orders to Largan Precision to prevent iPhone 14 shipment delays.Smartphone Shipments May Be Down, But Apple is Up – A PositiveMuch of the negative news surrounding the consumer electronics market is a headline that's not well thought out. Indeed, smartphone shipments decreased on a YoY basis, but Apple shipments increased.Research firm Counterpoint Researchsaidthat Apple saw 147% year-over-year growth in the $1,000 and above portion of the smartphone market, accounting for 46% of the total market.On aglobal basis, overall smartphone shipments fell -7% YoY to 291 million units in Q2 2022. But Apple shipped 48 million iPhones worldwide, up +3% YoY, for 16% global market share in Q2 2022, as shown in Chart 1. This is the highest second quarter market share for Apple over the past 10 years, at the expense of leading Chinese brands who were hampered by the sluggish performance in both home and overseas market. Apple had a good quarter, led by iPhone 13 series which continued to ramp up volumes in US, China and other key markets, according to the company.Strategy AnalyticsChart 1Will Dour Economy Influence iPhone 14 Sales?Macroeconomic headwinds have been a challenge for investors, particularly inflation. In the past month since Apple’s F3Q earnings call, these headwinds have abated somewhat. But the reasoning for moving up the Apple event Sept. 7 has raised speculation that it was done in light of the economic malaise impacting consumers prior to further negative news.I see the move as an opportunity for Apple tojump startits supply chain economically since its delivery schedule appears to be stable with no glitches. This strategy will financially help suppliers of components as concerns of layoffs and redundancies are on the horizon. It's also geared to app developers, many of which are small businesses.In the past two weeks on thepositive economic side:Consumer confidence reached 103.2 in August, an increase of 7.9 from the final reading of 95.3 for July.Producer prices fell 0.5% in July from the month before.Home prices jumped to a record high in the second quarterU.S. consumer sentiment rose in early August to 55.1, continuing its climb from a record low earlier this summer as inflation expectations improved.U.S. retail spending held steady in July, and excluding autos and gasoline, spending rose 0.7%.Initial jobless claims inched down to a seasonally adjusted 250,000 last week, a sign the labor market is holding up.Employers in the U.S. added about 462,000 more jobs in the year through March than the Labor Department originally estimated.U.S. GDP fell less than previously thought in second quarter, contracting at a 0.6% annual rate from April to June, down from an initial 0.9% rate earlier.On the not-so-positive side:Durable-goods orders unchanged in July, as businesses pulled back on orders for long-lasting goods, reflecting a cooling in demand amid other signs of a slowing U.S. economy.Consumer spending inched up 0.1% in July as inflation remained near a four-decade high.New applications for unemployment benefits, which edged higher to 262,000 last week, have been on an upward trend since reaching a 50-year low in March.Housing starts in the U.S. declined 9.6% in July from the month before as high inflation and higher mortgage rates make it more expensive to build and buy property.U.S. existing home sales fell in July for the sixth straight month, the longest streak of declines in more than eight years, as higher mortgage rates and a shortage of homes for sale are cooling the market.Businesses pulled back on orders for long-lasting goods, reflecting a cooling in demand amid other signs of a slowing U.S. economy.Keep in mind that the above issues are for the U.S. economy, and globally they could be very different.

Since hitting their respective all-time highs between November and January, the broad-based <b>S&amp;P 500</b> and tech-centric <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> both entered a bear market with peak declines of 24% and 34%. The S&amp;P 500&#39;s year-to-date performance through June 2022 was its worst first-half return since 1970!</p><p>Yet in spite of this turmoil, successful money managers haven&#39;t been fazed one bit. We know this thanks to required quarterly 13F filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). A 13F allows investors an under-the-hood look at what fund managers with at least $100 million in assets under management (AUM) were buying, selling, and holding in the recently ended quarter.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86a2726b9174984dc74f2cbd11eb01a0\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><p>It was a particularly active quarter for billionaires who chose to pile into a number of highly innovative (and generally beaten-down) growth stocks. What follows are four remarkable growth stocks that billionaires simply can&#39;t stop buying.</p><h2>Upstart Holdings</h2><p>The first phenomenal growth stock that&#39;s attracted the attention of at least one billionaire money manager is cloud-based lending platform <b>Upstart Holdings</b>. Billionaire Philippe Laffont of Coatue Management gobbled up more than 2.36 million shares of Upstart during the second quarter, making it a top-30 position for the hedge fund giant.</p><p>What makes Upstart such an intriguing company is its artificial intelligence (AI)-driven platform. Relying on machine learning for loan vetting has resulted in nearly three-quarters of all loan applications being approved digitally. This saves time and considerable cost for the company&#39;s nearly six dozen lending partners.</p><p>Equally important is the fact that Upstart&#39;s approvals have led to a broader swath of consumers being approved. In general, Upstart-vetted applicants have lower credit scores but have generated similar credit profiles (i.e., delinquency rates) as traditionally vetted applicants with higher average credit scores. The takeaway? Upstart can bring a larger pool of applicants to lenders without increasing their credit risk.</p><p>The big question mark for Upstart is how it&#39;ll fare during an economic downturn with interest rates skyrocketing. Since it hasn&#39;t exactly weathered a true recession or lasting downturn, and lending institutions are clearly becoming pickier about the loans they&#39;ll take on, Upstart&#39;s share price has taken a big hit.</p><p>However, with Upstart demonstrating that it can be quite profitable during long-winded periods of expansion, and the company moving its AI-driven loan-vetting solutions into larger markets, such as auto and small business loans, the sky could be the limit for patient investors.</p><h2>Meta Platforms</h2><p>The second remarkable growth stock that billionaires piled into during Q2 is social media company <b>Meta Platforms</b>. In particular, billionaire Ken Griffin&#39;s Citadel Advisors was a big buyer. All told, Citadel purchased more than 4 million shares, which increased its stake to approximately 4.58 million shares.</p><p>One of the biggest reasons to believe in Meta is the company&#39;s leading social media assets. Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger have consistently been among the world&#39;s most downloaded apps. What&#39;s more, these sites collectively drew in 3.65 billion monthly active users during Q2. That&#39;s more than half the world&#39;s adult population. It&#39;s easy to see Meta commanding substantial ad-pricing power during long periods of economic expansion.</p><p>But the future for Meta lies with the metaverse -- the next iteration of the internet which&#39;ll allow connected users to interact with each other and their environment in a 3D virtual world. The infrastructure for the metaverse is going to take years to build out. However, the thinking is that Meta could be a key on-ramp to this $30 trillion opportunity.</p><p>Although ad spending is challenged at the moment, Meta is cheaper than it&#39;s ever been as a publicly traded company. Taking into account its storied history of double-digit annual growth, a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 15, and its more than $40 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, a strong case can be made that Ken Griffin is a genius.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/53d9279e3083be7083f486995c017630\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>CrowdStrike Holdings</h2><p>A third supercharged growth stock that billionaires clearly can&#39;t stop buying is cybersecurity company <b>CrowdStrike Holdings</b>. Billionaire Steven Cohen of Point72 Asset Management oversaw the purchase of more than 819,000 shares of CrowdStrike during Q2. This increased Point72&#39;s position to around 955,000 shares and made CrowdStrike its 14th largest holding.</p><p>Cohen&#39;s attraction to CrowdStrike might be as simple as the defensive nature of the cybersecurity industry. No matter how well or poorly the U.S. economy and stock market perform, hackers and robots don&#39;t take time off from trying to steal enterprise and consumer data. This creates a rock-solid demand base for cybersecurity providers like CrowdStrike.</p><p>Then again, Cohen might prefer CrowdStrike for its best-of-breed end-user protection. Falcon, as the company&#39;s security platform is known, is driven by AI. Overseeing approximately 1 trillion events daily allows Falcon to grow exponentially better at identifying and responding to potential threats, compared to on-premises security solutions.</p><p>But the most impressive aspect of CrowdStrike might just be what happens when it lands a customer. In a little over five years, the percentage of clients who&#39;ve purchased four or more cloud-module subscriptions has catapulted from 9% to 71%. Furthermore, even though CrowdStrike isn&#39;t the cheapest option, its gross retention rate has hovered near 98% for the past four years. While adding new customers is great -- and is something CrowdStrike doesn&#39;t struggle to do -- the company&#39;s subscription gross margin is benefiting most from existing customers spending more.</p><h2>Shopify</h2><p>The fourth and final remarkable growth stock that billionaires can&#39;t stop buying is cloud-based e-commerce platform <b>Shopify</b>. Billionaire Jim Simons of Renaissance Technologies oversaw the purchase of a whopping 14.04 million shares of Shopify during Q2. This vaulted the company all the way to Renaissance&#39;s No. 26 holding, as of the end of June.</p><p>For Simons, Shopify&#39;s e-commerce potential is probably the biggest draw. Last year, Shopify announced that it had a $153 billion addressable market solely from small businesses.

For instance, in 2021 it introduced Shop Pay -- a buy-now, pay-later (BNPL) solution that should help the company&#39;s merchants grow. Ultimately, Shopify does better when its merchants do well. As small businesses grow, they&#39;re more likely to upgrade to a higher-margin (i.e., pricier) subscription service.</p><p>The biggest hurdle for Shopify to overcome is going to be its valuation. Shopify is a retail-dependent company. Back-to-back quarters of gross domestic-product declines for the U.S. economy -- as well as historically high inflation adversely impacting the lowest-earning decile -- spell potential trouble for enterprise and consumer spending. While the future does look bright for e-commerce spending, the next six months to a year could prove quite bumpy for Renaissance&#39;s new investment.</p></body></html>","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>4 Remarkable Growth Stocks Billionaires Can't Stop Buying</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\">\n4 Remarkable Growth Stocks Billionaires Can't Stop Buying\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-24 16:49 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/08/23/4-growth-stocks-billionaires-cant-stop-buying/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>This year has served as a clear reminder that the stock market doesn't move up in a straight line.

Since hitting their respective all-time highs between November and January, the broad-based S&P 500 and tech-centric Nasdaq Composite both entered a bear market with peak declines of 24% and 34%. The S&P 500's year-to-date performance through June 2022 was its worst first-half return since 1970!Yet in spite of this turmoil, successful money managers haven't been fazed one bit. We know this thanks to required quarterly 13F filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). A 13F allows investors an under-the-hood look at what fund managers with at least $100 million in assets under management (AUM) were buying, selling, and holding in the recently ended quarter.Image source: Getty Images.It was a particularly active quarter for billionaires who chose to pile into a number of highly innovative (and generally beaten-down) growth stocks. What follows are four remarkable growth stocks that billionaires simply can't stop buying.Upstart HoldingsThe first phenomenal growth stock that's attracted the attention of at least one billionaire money manager is cloud-based lending platform Upstart Holdings. Billionaire Philippe Laffont of Coatue Management gobbled up more than 2.36 million shares of Upstart during the second quarter, making it a top-30 position for the hedge fund giant.What makes Upstart such an intriguing company is its artificial intelligence (AI)-driven platform. Relying on machine learning for loan vetting has resulted in nearly three-quarters of all loan applications being approved digitally. This saves time and considerable cost for the company's nearly six dozen lending partners.Equally important is the fact that Upstart's approvals have led to a broader swath of consumers being approved. In general, Upstart-vetted applicants have lower credit scores but have generated similar credit profiles (i.e., delinquency rates) as traditionally vetted applicants with higher average credit scores. The takeaway? Upstart can bring a larger pool of applicants to lenders without increasing their credit risk.The big question mark for Upstart is how it'll fare during an economic downturn with interest rates skyrocketing. Since it hasn't exactly weathered a true recession or lasting downturn, and lending institutions are clearly becoming pickier about the loans they'll take on, Upstart's share price has taken a big hit.However, with Upstart demonstrating that it can be quite profitable during long-winded periods of expansion, and the company moving its AI-driven loan-vetting solutions into larger markets, such as auto and small business loans, the sky could be the limit for patient investors.Meta PlatformsThe second remarkable growth stock that billionaires piled into during Q2 is social media company Meta Platforms. In particular, billionaire Ken Griffin's Citadel Advisors was a big buyer. All told, Citadel purchased more than 4 million shares, which increased its stake to approximately 4.58 million shares.One of the biggest reasons to believe in Meta is the company's leading social media assets. Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger have consistently been among the world's most downloaded apps. What's more, these sites collectively drew in 3.65 billion monthly active users during Q2. That's more than half the world's adult population. It's easy to see Meta commanding substantial ad-pricing power during long periods of economic expansion.But the future for Meta lies with the metaverse -- the next iteration of the internet which'll allow connected users to interact with each other and their environment in a 3D virtual world. The infrastructure for the metaverse is going to take years to build out. However, the thinking is that Meta could be a key on-ramp to this $30 trillion opportunity.Although ad spending is challenged at the moment, Meta is cheaper than it's ever been as a publicly traded company. Taking into account its storied history of double-digit annual growth, a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 15, and its more than $40 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, a strong case can be made that Ken Griffin is a genius.Image source: Getty Images.CrowdStrike HoldingsA third supercharged growth stock that billionaires clearly can't stop buying is cybersecurity company CrowdStrike Holdings. Billionaire Steven Cohen of Point72 Asset Management oversaw the purchase of more than 819,000 shares of CrowdStrike during Q2. This increased Point72's position to around 955,000 shares and made CrowdStrike its 14th largest holding.Cohen's attraction to CrowdStrike might be as simple as the defensive nature of the cybersecurity industry. No matter how well or poorly the U.S. economy and stock market perform, hackers and robots don't take time off from trying to steal enterprise and consumer data. This creates a rock-solid demand base for cybersecurity providers like CrowdStrike.Then again, Cohen might prefer CrowdStrike for its best-of-breed end-user protection. Falcon, as the company's security platform is known, is driven by AI. Overseeing approximately 1 trillion events daily allows Falcon to grow exponentially better at identifying and responding to potential threats, compared to on-premises security solutions.But the most impressive aspect of CrowdStrike might just be what happens when it lands a customer. In a little over five years, the percentage of clients who've purchased four or more cloud-module subscriptions has catapulted from 9% to 71%. Furthermore, even though CrowdStrike isn't the cheapest option, its gross retention rate has hovered near 98% for the past four years. While adding new customers is great -- and is something CrowdStrike doesn't struggle to do -- the company's subscription gross margin is benefiting most from existing customers spending more.ShopifyThe fourth and final remarkable growth stock that billionaires can't stop buying is cloud-based e-commerce platform Shopify. Billionaire Jim Simons of Renaissance Technologies oversaw the purchase of a whopping 14.04 million shares of Shopify during Q2. This vaulted the company all the way to Renaissance's No. 26 holding, as of the end of June.For Simons, Shopify's e-commerce potential is probably the biggest draw. Last year, Shopify announced that it had a $153 billion addressable market solely from small businesses. This doesn't even account for the larger businesses that have begun latching onto Shopify via subscription. With Shopify generating $6 billion in sales last year, it's still just scratching the tip of the iceberg with regard to its e-commerce potential.Another reason for Simons to be excited about Shopify is the company's innovative capacity. For instance, in 2021 it introduced Shop Pay -- a buy-now, pay-later (BNPL) solution that should help the company's merchants grow. Ultimately, Shopify does better when its merchants do well.

Shopify is a retail-dependent company. Back-to-back quarters of gross domestic-product declines for the U.S. economy -- as well as historically high inflation adversely impacting the lowest-earning decile -- spell potential trouble for enterprise and consumer spending. While the future does look bright for e-commerce spending, the next six months to a year could prove quite bumpy for Renaissance's new investment.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":496,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9072226500,"gmtCreate":1658042923100,"gmtModify":1676536098124,"author":{"id":"3579312487183817","authorId":"3579312487183817","name":"Gizmo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/887bf6c39b0597e6a9fe6d01520d254e","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579312487183817","authorIdStr":"3579312487183817"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍&nbsp;","listText":"👍&nbsp;","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9072226500","repostId":"2251841965","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2251841965","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1658022733,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2251841965?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-17 09:52","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is the New Netflix-Microsoft Partnership a Massive Mistake?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2251841965","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Microsoft will power Netflix's ads, but the competition will be stiff.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Microsoft</b> (MSFT 1.04%) has signed a deal with <b>Netflix</b> (NFLX 8.20%) to provide the technology and sales expertise that will underpin the streamer&#39;s upcoming ad-supported tier.

After all, if the streamer wants \"flexibility,\" part of that idea might be eventually moving to an ad network that has more stature in the advertising industry.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":467,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9041712816,"gmtCreate":1656111098636,"gmtModify":1676535767777,"author":{"id":"3579312487183817","authorId":"3579312487183817","name":"Gizmo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/887bf6c39b0597e6a9fe6d01520d254e","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579312487183817","authorIdStr":"3579312487183817"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9041712816","repostId":"2245227500","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2245227500","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1656062886,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2245227500?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-24 17:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Palantir: A Strong Recession Play","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2245227500","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"SummaryPalantir’s shares have been trampled upon this year.The firm's government segment and recent ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>Palantir’s shares have been trampled upon this year.</li><li>The firm&#39;s government segment and recent contract win should stabilize Palantir as the economy likely heads into a recession.</li><li>Palantir is cashed up and has no financial debt.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/23d0f121f38325521c0b8ebbb42b26b3\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"500\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Michael Vi/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p><p>Shares of software analytics company <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PLTR\">Palantir Technologies Inc.</a> (NYSE:PLTR) have so far lost 50% of their value year to date.

Apple has been <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the most valuable companies in the world for a while and has leadership positions in numerous fields. Its massive installed device base (1.8B active devices) is pushing Apple&#39;s service revenue upwards at a rapid pace, and the overall company&#39;s profit margin is also improving. Furthermore, Apple is moving to become self-sufficient to reduce costs and mitigate supply chain disruptions, and the effort has been paying off. I expect Apple to continue its success well into the future, and the current volatility in the tech sector is presenting a huge opportunity to grab Apple shares at a discount because:</p><ul><li>Apple&#39;s high margin businesses (Mac and Service segments) are growing at a rapid pace, contributing to great revenue growth and margin expansion.</li><li>Revenue growth trajectory remains solid with an increasing subscription base and new product releases (iPad Air, iPhone SE, and etc.).</li><li>The market volatility and tech sector sell-off dragged Apple&#39;s stock down, and it is now being sold under its pre-pandemic level. This presents a great opportunity.</li></ul><h3>Growing in Right Segments</h3><p>Since I wrote my last article, Apple reported quarterly earnings in late April, and the results continue to demonstrate that Apple is focusing on the correct segments for growth and profitability. Overall revenue grew 9% YoY to $97.3 B, and they generated a whopping $28 B operating cash flow. Particularly, their Mac segment and services segment led the charge.</p><p>Apple has been working on becoming self-sufficient and manufacturing key product components internally. A couple of years ago Apple took the noteworthy action of severing ties with Intel and making their own computer chips. The effort has been paying a great dividend. The Apple M1 (their own chip) has been performing very well against Intel and other chips on the market, and Mac sales have been very strong. Additionally, producing their own chips boosted the profit margins on Mac products.</p><p>Strong performance by Apple Services segment (advertising, AppleCare, Cloud, Digital Content, Payment) is also welcome news for investors. The services segment is a 2x higher gross margin business (72.6%) than the products segment (36.4%), and it has higher growth potential from cloud and digital content.

Apple’s most recent annual revenue growth was 18.63% (vs. sector median of 19.98%). Given their leadership position and strong revenue, these revenue growth numbers are great. However, compared to hyper growth companies in the start-up or ramping-up phase with 50-60% growth rates, it’s hard to give out 4 or 5 stars.</p><h4><b>Margin of Safety - 5/5</b></h4><p>Apple is trading ~25% under intrinsic value at this point.

Also, consumer preference is diversifying in terms of preferred features (camera quality, computing/memory performance, weight/size, etc.).

Apple has been one of the most valuable companies in the world for a while and has leadership positions in numerous fields. Its massive installed device base (1.8B active devices) is pushing Apple's service revenue upwards at a rapid pace, and the overall company's profit margin is also improving. Furthermore, Apple is moving to become self-sufficient to reduce costs and mitigate supply chain disruptions, and the effort has been paying off. I expect Apple to continue its success well into the future, and the current volatility in the tech sector is presenting a huge opportunity to grab Apple shares at a discount because:Apple's high margin businesses (Mac and Service segments) are growing at a rapid pace, contributing to great revenue growth and margin expansion.Revenue growth trajectory remains solid with an increasing subscription base and new product releases (iPad Air, iPhone SE, and etc.).The market volatility and tech sector sell-off dragged Apple's stock down, and it is now being sold under its pre-pandemic level. This presents a great opportunity.Growing in Right SegmentsSince I wrote my last article, Apple reported quarterly earnings in late April, and the results continue to demonstrate that Apple is focusing on the correct segments for growth and profitability. Overall revenue grew 9% YoY to $97.3 B, and they generated a whopping $28 B operating cash flow. Particularly, their Mac segment and services segment led the charge.Apple has been working on becoming self-sufficient and manufacturing key product components internally. A couple of years ago Apple took the noteworthy action of severing ties with Intel and making their own computer chips. The effort has been paying a great dividend. The Apple M1 (their own chip) has been performing very well against Intel and other chips on the market, and Mac sales have been very strong. Additionally, producing their own chips boosted the profit margins on Mac products.Strong performance by Apple Services segment (advertising, AppleCare, Cloud, Digital Content, Payment) is also welcome news for investors. The services segment is a 2x higher gross margin business (72.6%) than the products segment (36.4%), and it has higher growth potential from cloud and digital content. Assisted by its massive installed device base (1.8 B active devices), AppleCare has great potential for increasing revenue as well. Overall, the strong performance from Mac and Services shows that there are good days ahead.Performance by Segments (SEC Filings)Gross Margins of Apple by Segments (SEC Filings)Strong Revenue Growth TrajectoryApple has been growing at a solid pace (10% per year, 5-year average) in the past several years, and the revenue growth is accelerating.

The data-mining firm&#39;s shares started trading at $10, closed at an all-time high of $39 last January, but subsequently tumbled all the way back to about $12 a share.</p><p>Does that pullback represent a good buying opportunity for patient investors? Let&#39;s review the bull and bear cases to decide.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a745be90180fb00049b4e1dd3a5ed89\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>What does Palantir do?</h2><p>Palantir operates two main software platforms: Gotham, which serves government clients; and Foundry, which serves large enterprises and private organizations. A third platform, Apollo, provides automatic software updates for both platforms as a cloud-based service.</p><p>Palantir&#39;s software aggregates data from disparate sources and then analyzes it with artificial intelligence algorithms to help organizations make informed decisions. For example, the U.S. Army uses Gotham to collect intel from various government agencies and local sources to plan missions. Large companies can also use its algorithms to streamline their operations.</p><h2>Why do the bulls love Palantir?</h2><p>The bulls love Palantir because it has firm ties to the U.S. government, it generates robust growth, and its gross margins are expanding.</p><p>Palantir&#39;s revenue rose 47% in 2020, then grew 41% to $1.54 billion in 2021. It ended 2021 with a high dollar-based net retention rate of 131%, and it expects its revenue to grow by at least 30% annually through 2025.</p><p>Its government revenue in 2021 rose 34% to $645 million, but it still decelerated from its 77% growth in 2020. However, its commercial revenue in 2021 increased 47% to $897 million, which accelerated from its 22% growth in 2020.</p><p>The acceleration of its commercial business silenced the bears who initially claimed Palantir would struggle against similar data-mining companies like <b>C3.ai</b>, <b>Alteryx</b>, and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce</a></b> in the crowded enterprise analytics market.</p><p>The bulls also believe its government slowdown is temporary since it still secured plenty of new deals over the past year. In addition, Ukraine war could generate fresh tailwinds for Gotham as more government agencies upgrade their analytics systems to counter the threat of new cyberattacks and military aggression across Europe.</p><p>Palantir&#39;s adjusted gross margin rose from 71% in 2019 to 81% in 2020, then increased to 82% in 2021. That ongoing expansion indicates it still has plenty of pricing power in the data mining and analytics market.</p><h2>Why do the bears hate Palantir?</h2><p>The bears dislike Palantir because it faces a hidden competitor within the U.S. government, it&#39;s unprofitable, and its stock still isn&#39;t cheap.</p><p>Palantir has a controversial reputation because its co-founder Peter Thiel was a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump. Immigration and Customs Enforcement&#39;s (ICE) usage of Gotham to deport undocumented immigrants also sparked internal protests and resignations across the company.</p><p>Those controversies, along with long-term cost concerns, have reportedly driven ICE to develop its own internal replacement for Gotham called RAVEn. If other U.S. government agencies follow ICE&#39;s lead, Palantir&#39;s dream of becoming the &#34;default operating system for data across the U.S. government&#34; (which it boldly set in its S-1 filing) could quickly end.</p><p>Palantir&#39;s net loss widened from $580 million in 2019 to $1.17 billion in 2020, partly due to the costs of its direct listing, and narrowed to $520 million in 2021. That red ink makes Palantir a risky stock to own as interest rates rise.</p><p>Palantir&#39;s stock has nearly taken a round trip back to its initial opening price, but it still isn&#39;t undervalued at 12 times this year&#39;s sales. By comparison, <b>Twilio </b>(TWLO -6.26%) -- the cloud-based communications company which expects to generate at least 30% organic revenue growth over the next few years -- trades at just six times this year&#39;s sales.</p><p>To make matter worse, Palantir continues to dilute its shares with its generous stock-based compensation (50% of its revenue in 2021) as its insiders cash out.

The data-mining firm's shares started trading at $10, closed at an all-time high of $39 last January, but subsequently tumbled all the way back to about $12 a share.Does that pullback represent a good buying opportunity for patient investors? Let's review the bull and bear cases to decide.Image source: Getty Images.What does Palantir do?Palantir operates two main software platforms: Gotham, which serves government clients; and Foundry, which serves large enterprises and private organizations. A third platform, Apollo, provides automatic software updates for both platforms as a cloud-based service.Palantir's software aggregates data from disparate sources and then analyzes it with artificial intelligence algorithms to help organizations make informed decisions. For example, the U.S. Army uses Gotham to collect intel from various government agencies and local sources to plan missions. Large companies can also use its algorithms to streamline their operations.Why do the bulls love Palantir?The bulls love Palantir because it has firm ties to the U.S. government, it generates robust growth, and its gross margins are expanding.Palantir's revenue rose 47% in 2020, then grew 41% to $1.54 billion in 2021. It ended 2021 with a high dollar-based net retention rate of 131%, and it expects its revenue to grow by at least 30% annually through 2025.Its government revenue in 2021 rose 34% to $645 million, but it still decelerated from its 77% growth in 2020. However, its commercial revenue in 2021 increased 47% to $897 million, which accelerated from its 22% growth in 2020.The acceleration of its commercial business silenced the bears who initially claimed Palantir would struggle against similar data-mining companies like C3.ai, Alteryx, and Salesforce in the crowded enterprise analytics market.The bulls also believe its government slowdown is temporary since it still secured plenty of new deals over the past year. In addition, Ukraine war could generate fresh tailwinds for Gotham as more government agencies upgrade their analytics systems to counter the threat of new cyberattacks and military aggression across Europe.Palantir's adjusted gross margin rose from 71% in 2019 to 81% in 2020, then increased to 82% in 2021. That ongoing expansion indicates it still has plenty of pricing power in the data mining and analytics market.Why do the bears hate Palantir?The bears dislike Palantir because it faces a hidden competitor within the U.S. government, it's unprofitable, and its stock still isn't cheap.Palantir has a controversial reputation because its co-founder Peter Thiel was a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) usage of Gotham to deport undocumented immigrants also sparked internal protests and resignations across the company.Those controversies, along with long-term cost concerns, have reportedly driven ICE to develop its own internal replacement for Gotham called RAVEn. If other U.S. government agencies follow ICE's lead, Palantir's dream of becoming the \"default operating system for data across the U.S. government\" (which it boldly set in its S-1 filing) could quickly end.Palantir's net loss widened from $580 million in 2019 to $1.17 billion in 2020, partly due to the costs of its direct listing, and narrowed to $520 million in 2021. That red ink makes Palantir a risky stock to own as interest rates rise.Palantir's stock has nearly taken a round trip back to its initial opening price, but it still isn't undervalued at 12 times this year's sales. By comparison, Twilio (TWLO -6.26%) -- the cloud-based communications company which expects to generate at least 30% organic revenue growth over the next few years -- trades at just six times this year's sales.To make matter worse, Palantir continues to dilute its shares with its generous stock-based compensation (50% of its revenue in 2021) as its insiders cash out. On a weighted-average basis, Palantir's outstanding shares nearly doubled in 2021. Yet over the past three months, its insiders sold more than twice as many shares as they purchased.The bears still have the upper handPalantir's business should continue to grow at an impressive clip this year, but its ongoing losses, dilution, and insider sales indicate its stock could still drop even further in this challenging market. Therefore, I believe investors should avoid Palantir until its price-to-sales ratio drops to the single digits.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":450,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9060381110,"gmtCreate":1651103123192,"gmtModify":1676534849204,"author":{"id":"3579312487183817","authorId":"3579312487183817","name":"Gizmo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/887bf6c39b0597e6a9fe6d01520d254e","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579312487183817","authorIdStr":"3579312487183817"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍&nbsp;","listText":"👍&nbsp;","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9060381110","repostId":"1164859165","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1164859165","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":1651100840,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1164859165?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-28 07:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Meta Shares Surge 18% After Facebook Ekes Out User Growth","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1164859165","media":"Reuters","summary":"(Reuters) - Facebook rebounded from a drop in users early this year and its parent Meta  posted a pr","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>(Reuters) - Facebook rebounded from a drop in users early this year and its parent <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Meta </a> posted a profit ahead of Wall Street targets, defying low investor expectations with a quarterly report that sent shares up 18%.</p><p>Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg also said that the company would scale back costs and was investing in artificial intelligence tools to improve recommendations and ads, a sign Meta is buckling down to make money while working on its long-term ambitions to build the metaverse.</p><p>Its stock rose over 18% in after-hours trade on Wednesday.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0712bddf11838c263ab421e4fb49c365\" tg-width=\"933\" tg-height=\"671\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Meta&#39;s profit soundly beat Wall Street targets at $2.72 per share, compared with an average analyst estimate of $2.56, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.

Else, the carmaker can file an appeal with the Oslo council.\nBut this is not the first time Tesla customers have reported this kind of issue. The carmaker is also facing similar complaints in the United States where consumers have filed a class-action lawsuit against the carmaker for affecting charging speeds in older Tesla cars. The lawsuit alleges that Tesla has reduced range among older vehicles by as much as 40 miles, in some cases.\nDespite this news, shares of Tesla are up 3% on the day to trade around the $600.00 mark again.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":95,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9064346334,"gmtCreate":1652282829728,"gmtModify":1676535068769,"author":{"id":"3579312487183817","authorId":"3579312487183817","name":"Gizmo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/887bf6c39b0597e6a9fe6d01520d254e","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579312487183817","authorIdStr":"3579312487183817"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Omg","listText":"Omg","text":"Omg","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9064346334","repostId":"1117455809","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1117455809","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":1652276520,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1117455809?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-11 21:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Unity Software Stock Plunged 36% in Morning Trading on Weak Revenue Guidance","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1117455809","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Unity Software Inc. shares plummeted 36% in morning trading after the company issued second-quarter ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/U\">Unity Software Inc.</a> shares plummeted 36% in morning trading after the company issued second-quarter revenue guidance below analysts&#39; expectations in conjunction with its first-quarter results.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/52ac30f05f6355836762a5b2dbd3c667\" tg-width=\"830\" tg-height=\"662\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>The video gaming software developer widened its loss to $177.6 million, or 60 cents a share, for the quarter ended March 31, compared to a loss of $107.5 million, or 39 cents a share, in the year-ago period.

As seen in Table 1, all iPhone events since the iPhone 4S in 2011 were introduced later than the Sept. 7, 2022, date of the iPhone 14 event.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/451e6dca9b021a86a3b3e6149c2fc333\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"406\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>Apple</p><p><i>This suggests that Apple’s supply chain is under control and can deliver on time.</i> In previous years, several iPhones were introduced later than planned, primarily due to supply chain issues. The iPhone 12 was delayed because of 5G parts shortages.</p><p>Last year&#39;s iPhone 13 production ultimately fell 20% short of the initial plan in September and October. The root cause of delays revolved around the need for a supplier ramp of sensor-shift optical image stabilization to all four iPhone 13 models when Apple had only used sensor-shift stabilization on the iPhone 12 Pro Max, while the other models relied on OIS (optical image stabilization).</p><p>Even with the iPhone 14 development, there have been glitches in the camera coating. Rear cameras that Taiwan’s Genius Electronic Optical Co. supplied experienced coating-crack quality issues. As a result, Apple had to move 10 million lens orders to Largan Precision to prevent iPhone 14 shipment delays.</p><p><b>Smartphone Shipments May Be Down, But Apple is Up – A Positive</b></p><p>Much of the negative news surrounding the consumer electronics market is a headline that&#39;s not well thought out. Indeed, smartphone shipments decreased on a YoY basis, but Apple shipments increased.</p><p>Research firm Counterpoint Researchsaidthat Apple saw 147% year-over-year growth in the $1,000 and above portion of the smartphone market, accounting for 46% of the total market.</p><p>On aglobal basis, overall smartphone shipments fell -7% YoY to 291 million units in Q2 2022. But Apple shipped 48 million iPhones worldwide, up +3% YoY, for 16% global market share in Q2 2022, as shown in Chart 1. This is the highest second quarter market share for Apple over the past 10 years, at the expense of leading Chinese brands who were hampered by the sluggish performance in both home and overseas market. Apple had a good quarter, led by iPhone 13 series which continued to ramp up volumes in US, China and other key markets, according to the company.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/35ce09c08e448a2b3f6e63ee6c14e875\" tg-width=\"296\" tg-height=\"352\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Strategy Analytics</span></p><p>Chart 1</p><h3>Will Dour Economy Influence iPhone 14 Sales?</h3><p>Macroeconomic headwinds have been a challenge for investors, particularly inflation. In the past month since Apple’s F3Q earnings call, these headwinds have abated somewhat. But the reasoning for moving up the Apple event Sept. 7 has raised speculation that it was done in light of the economic malaise impacting consumers prior to further negative news.</p><p>I see the move as an opportunity for Apple to<i>jump start</i>its supply chain economically since its delivery schedule appears to be stable with no glitches. This strategy will financially help suppliers of components as concerns of layoffs and redundancies are on the horizon. It&#39;s also geared to app developers, many of which are small businesses.</p><p>In the past two weeks on thepositive economic side:</p><ul><li>Consumer confidence reached 103.2 in August, an increase of 7.9 from the final reading of 95.3 for July.</li><li>Producer prices fell 0.5% in July from the month before.</li><li>Home prices jumped to a record high in the second quarter</li><li>U.S. consumer sentiment rose in early August to 55.1, continuing its climb from a record low earlier this summer as inflation expectations improved.</li><li>U.S. retail spending held steady in July, and excluding autos and gasoline, spending rose 0.7%.</li><li>Initial jobless claims inched down to a seasonally adjusted 250,000 last week, a sign the labor market is holding up.</li><li>Employers in the U.S. added about 462,000 more jobs in the year through March than the Labor Department originally estimated.</li><li>U.S. GDP fell less than previously thought in second quarter, contracting at a 0.6% annual rate from April to June, down from an initial 0.9% rate earlier.</li></ul><p>On the not-so-positive side:</p><ul><li>Durable-goods orders unchanged in July, as businesses pulled back on orders for long-lasting goods, reflecting a cooling in demand amid other signs of a slowing U.S. economy.</li><li>Consumer spending inched up 0.1% in July as inflation remained near a four-decade high.</li><li>New applications for unemployment benefits, which edged higher to 262,000 last week, have been on an upward trend since reaching a 50-year low in March.</li><li>Housing starts in the U.S. declined 9.6% in July from the month before as high inflation and higher mortgage rates make it more expensive to build and buy property.</li><li>U.S. existing home sales fell in July for the sixth straight month, the longest streak of declines in more than eight years, as higher mortgage rates and a shortage of homes for sale are cooling the market.</li><li>Businesses pulled back on orders for long-lasting goods, reflecting a cooling in demand amid other signs of a slowing U.S. economy.</li></ul><p>Keep in mind that the above issues are for the U.S. economy, and globally they could be very different. TheConference Boardforecasts global GDP growth of 2.7 percent for 2022 and 1.7 percent for 2023.</p><p>Given stronger-than-expected Q2 data and upward revisions to Q1, forecasts for the full year 2022 are revised upward for the Euro Area. But as headwinds are intensifying, the Conference Board lowered its 2023 GDP growth estimates.</p><p>The full-year 2022 GDP growth projection for China was downgraded by 0.3 percentage points to account for a weaker-than-expected services recovery in the second half of the year.</p><h3><b>Investor Takeaway</b></h3><p>Apple reported F3Q revenue of $63.4 billion with a June quarter revenue record for iPhone.</p><p>At itsF3Q earnings call, according to Luca Maestri - SVP &amp; CFO:</p><blockquote>“iPhone revenue grew 3% year-over-year to a June quarter record of $40.7 billion despite foreign exchange headwinds as customer response to our iPhone 13 family continue to be strong. We set June quarter records in both developed and emerging markets. And the iPhone active installed base reached a new all-time high across all geographies as a result of this level of sales performance combined with unmatched customer loyalty.”</blockquote><p>Table 2 shows Apple&#39;s revenues for FY2020 and FY2021 and my estimates for FY2022 to FY2024. I forecast that for FY2022 only the iPad will be impacted by the slowing demand for consumer electronics products. Other than that data metric, revenue for each product line will increase yearly.</p><p>Apple’s services revenue reaching $112 billion in FY 2024. Importantly, services will grow to 25.6% of total revenues in FY2024, up from 18.7% in FY2021.</p><p>Gross margin was guided sequentially lower (41.5-42.5% versus 43.3% in F3Q). Chart 2 shows Apple’s meteoric rise in gross margins over the past five-year period. In my opinion, the possibility of a guided drop holds less significance given it rose from 38% over the previous four years.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1cb1c84c3fdbe6c680c06f4b5ddd9064\" tg-width=\"634\" tg-height=\"416\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Chart 2</span></p><p>My main concern is that despite a positive scenario I presented in this article, technology stock performance continues to be strongly correlated with the 10-year Treasury Rate. I discussed this in detail in my July 1, 2022, Seeking Alpha article entitled “Why Are Tech Stocks Selling Off And What Is The Outlook?”</p><p>Chart 3 shows this correlation with Apple shares. U.S. Treasury yields rose again after Fed Chair Powell signaled further interest rate hikes last week. Uncertainty remains high over the course of inflation, energy prices, the war in Ukraine, and economic policy in China. That has resulted in a corresponding drop in Apple shares.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/687b5eefc5a181794d19e62d3abe4c8f\" tg-width=\"634\" tg-height=\"432\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Chart 3</span></p><p>While the 10-year Treasury Rate is increasing and responsible for technology shares decreasing, the two-year Treasury Rate is increasing faster. As shown in Chart 4, this has resulted in an inverted yield curve, with the 10-2 year spread at -0.30%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2eab5a850395d356059c7c5ab760570b\" tg-width=\"634\" tg-height=\"450\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Chart 4</span></p><p>An inverted yield curve occurs when near-term risks increase. Investors demand relatively greater compensation from shorter-term Treasuries, and long-term expectations for the economy sour.</p><p>There have been six major US recessions, defined byat least two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, since 1976. Represented by gray panels in the below chart, all six recessions were preceded by the 10-2 spread going negative, and each recession occurred less than two years after the 10-2 spread first inverted.</p><p>Apple’s Sept. 7 iPhone 14 event will provide the press with information on increments of performance improvements beyond the iPhone 13.

As seen in Table 1, all iPhone events since the iPhone 4S in 2011 were introduced later than the Sept. 7, 2022, date of the iPhone 14 event.AppleThis suggests that Apple’s supply chain is under control and can deliver on time. In previous years, several iPhones were introduced later than planned, primarily due to supply chain issues. The iPhone 12 was delayed because of 5G parts shortages.Last year's iPhone 13 production ultimately fell 20% short of the initial plan in September and October. The root cause of delays revolved around the need for a supplier ramp of sensor-shift optical image stabilization to all four iPhone 13 models when Apple had only used sensor-shift stabilization on the iPhone 12 Pro Max, while the other models relied on OIS (optical image stabilization).Even with the iPhone 14 development, there have been glitches in the camera coating. Rear cameras that Taiwan’s Genius Electronic Optical Co. supplied experienced coating-crack quality issues. As a result, Apple had to move 10 million lens orders to Largan Precision to prevent iPhone 14 shipment delays.Smartphone Shipments May Be Down, But Apple is Up – A PositiveMuch of the negative news surrounding the consumer electronics market is a headline that's not well thought out. Indeed, smartphone shipments decreased on a YoY basis, but Apple shipments increased.Research firm Counterpoint Researchsaidthat Apple saw 147% year-over-year growth in the $1,000 and above portion of the smartphone market, accounting for 46% of the total market.On aglobal basis, overall smartphone shipments fell -7% YoY to 291 million units in Q2 2022. But Apple shipped 48 million iPhones worldwide, up +3% YoY, for 16% global market share in Q2 2022, as shown in Chart 1. This is the highest second quarter market share for Apple over the past 10 years, at the expense of leading Chinese brands who were hampered by the sluggish performance in both home and overseas market. Apple had a good quarter, led by iPhone 13 series which continued to ramp up volumes in US, China and other key markets, according to the company.Strategy AnalyticsChart 1Will Dour Economy Influence iPhone 14 Sales?Macroeconomic headwinds have been a challenge for investors, particularly inflation. In the past month since Apple’s F3Q earnings call, these headwinds have abated somewhat. But the reasoning for moving up the Apple event Sept. 7 has raised speculation that it was done in light of the economic malaise impacting consumers prior to further negative news.I see the move as an opportunity for Apple tojump startits supply chain economically since its delivery schedule appears to be stable with no glitches. This strategy will financially help suppliers of components as concerns of layoffs and redundancies are on the horizon. It's also geared to app developers, many of which are small businesses.In the past two weeks on thepositive economic side:Consumer confidence reached 103.2 in August, an increase of 7.9 from the final reading of 95.3 for July.Producer prices fell 0.5% in July from the month before.Home prices jumped to a record high in the second quarterU.S. consumer sentiment rose in early August to 55.1, continuing its climb from a record low earlier this summer as inflation expectations improved.U.S. retail spending held steady in July, and excluding autos and gasoline, spending rose 0.7%.Initial jobless claims inched down to a seasonally adjusted 250,000 last week, a sign the labor market is holding up.Employers in the U.S. added about 462,000 more jobs in the year through March than the Labor Department originally estimated.U.S. GDP fell less than previously thought in second quarter, contracting at a 0.6% annual rate from April to June, down from an initial 0.9% rate earlier.On the not-so-positive side:Durable-goods orders unchanged in July, as businesses pulled back on orders for long-lasting goods, reflecting a cooling in demand amid other signs of a slowing U.S. economy.Consumer spending inched up 0.1% in July as inflation remained near a four-decade high.New applications for unemployment benefits, which edged higher to 262,000 last week, have been on an upward trend since reaching a 50-year low in March.Housing starts in the U.S. declined 9.6% in July from the month before as high inflation and higher mortgage rates make it more expensive to build and buy property.U.S. existing home sales fell in July for the sixth straight month, the longest streak of declines in more than eight years, as higher mortgage rates and a shortage of homes for sale are cooling the market.Businesses pulled back on orders for long-lasting goods, reflecting a cooling in demand amid other signs of a slowing U.S. economy.Keep in mind that the above issues are for the U.S. economy, and globally they could be very different. TheConference Boardforecasts global GDP growth of 2.7 percent for 2022 and 1.7 percent for 2023.Given stronger-than-expected Q2 data and upward revisions to Q1, forecasts for the full year 2022 are revised upward for the Euro Area. But as headwinds are intensifying, the Conference Board lowered its 2023 GDP growth estimates.The full-year 2022 GDP growth projection for China was downgraded by 0.3 percentage points to account for a weaker-than-expected services recovery in the second half of the year.Investor TakeawayApple reported F3Q revenue of $63.4 billion with a June quarter revenue record for iPhone.At itsF3Q earnings call, according to Luca Maestri - SVP & CFO:“iPhone revenue grew 3% year-over-year to a June quarter record of $40.7 billion despite foreign exchange headwinds as customer response to our iPhone 13 family continue to be strong. We set June quarter records in both developed and emerging markets. And the iPhone active installed base reached a new all-time high across all geographies as a result of this level of sales performance combined with unmatched customer loyalty.”Table 2 shows Apple's revenues for FY2020 and FY2021 and my estimates for FY2022 to FY2024. I forecast that for FY2022 only the iPad will be impacted by the slowing demand for consumer electronics products. Other than that data metric, revenue for each product line will increase yearly.Apple’s services revenue reaching $112 billion in FY 2024. Importantly, services will grow to 25.6% of total revenues in FY2024, up from 18.7% in FY2021.Gross margin was guided sequentially lower (41.5-42.5% versus 43.3% in F3Q). Chart 2 shows Apple’s meteoric rise in gross margins over the past five-year period. In my opinion, the possibility of a guided drop holds less significance given it rose from 38% over the previous four years.Chart 2My main concern is that despite a positive scenario I presented in this article, technology stock performance continues to be strongly correlated with the 10-year Treasury Rate. I discussed this in detail in my July 1, 2022, Seeking Alpha article entitled “Why Are Tech Stocks Selling Off And What Is The Outlook?”Chart 3 shows this correlation with Apple shares. U.S. Treasury yields rose again after Fed Chair Powell signaled further interest rate hikes last week. Uncertainty remains high over the course of inflation, energy prices, the war in Ukraine, and economic policy in China. That has resulted in a corresponding drop in Apple shares.Chart 3While the 10-year Treasury Rate is increasing and responsible for technology shares decreasing, the two-year Treasury Rate is increasing faster. As shown in Chart 4, this has resulted in an inverted yield curve, with the 10-2 year spread at -0.30%.Chart 4An inverted yield curve occurs when near-term risks increase. Investors demand relatively greater compensation from shorter-term Treasuries, and long-term expectations for the economy sour.There have been six major US recessions, defined byat least two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, since 1976. Represented by gray panels in the below chart, all six recessions were preceded by the 10-2 spread going negative, and each recession occurred less than two years after the 10-2 spread first inverted.Apple’s Sept. 7 iPhone 14 event will provide the press with information on increments of performance improvements beyond the iPhone 13. That seems to be standard operating procedure for Apple with each iteration of iPhone announced. However, it's the backdrop of this event that provides details about the health of the company amid macroeconomic concerns.My attempts to “think outside the box” suggest to readers that the “bright spots” in Apple’s timing of the event (a positive) and its ancillary performance in iPhone shipments and market shares (a positive) are a buying opportunity for investors.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":585,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9992799497,"gmtCreate":1661378567822,"gmtModify":1676536504273,"author":{"id":"3579312487183817","authorId":"3579312487183817","name":"Gizmo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/887bf6c39b0597e6a9fe6d01520d254e","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579312487183817","authorIdStr":"3579312487183817"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍&nbsp;","listText":"👍&nbsp;","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9992799497","repostId":"2261680754","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2261680754","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1661330971,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2261680754?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-24 16:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"4 Remarkable Growth Stocks Billionaires Can't Stop Buying","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2261680754","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"A poorly performing market hasn't stopped select billionaires from putting their money to work in four phenomenal growth stocks.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>This year has served as a clear reminder that the stock market doesn&#39;t move up in a straight line. Since hitting their respective all-time highs between November and January, the broad-based <b>S&amp;P 500</b> and tech-centric <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> both entered a bear market with peak declines of 24% and 34%. The S&amp;P 500&#39;s year-to-date performance through June 2022 was its worst first-half return since 1970!</p><p>Yet in spite of this turmoil, successful money managers haven&#39;t been fazed one bit. We know this thanks to required quarterly 13F filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). A 13F allows investors an under-the-hood look at what fund managers with at least $100 million in assets under management (AUM) were buying, selling, and holding in the recently ended quarter.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86a2726b9174984dc74f2cbd11eb01a0\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><p>It was a particularly active quarter for billionaires who chose to pile into a number of highly innovative (and generally beaten-down) growth stocks. What follows are four remarkable growth stocks that billionaires simply can&#39;t stop buying.</p><h2>Upstart Holdings</h2><p>The first phenomenal growth stock that&#39;s attracted the attention of at least one billionaire money manager is cloud-based lending platform <b>Upstart Holdings</b>. Billionaire Philippe Laffont of Coatue Management gobbled up more than 2.36 million shares of Upstart during the second quarter, making it a top-30 position for the hedge fund giant.</p><p>What makes Upstart such an intriguing company is its artificial intelligence (AI)-driven platform. Relying on machine learning for loan vetting has resulted in nearly three-quarters of all loan applications being approved digitally. This saves time and considerable cost for the company&#39;s nearly six dozen lending partners.</p><p>Equally important is the fact that Upstart&#39;s approvals have led to a broader swath of consumers being approved. In general, Upstart-vetted applicants have lower credit scores but have generated similar credit profiles (i.e., delinquency rates) as traditionally vetted applicants with higher average credit scores. The takeaway? Upstart can bring a larger pool of applicants to lenders without increasing their credit risk.</p><p>The big question mark for Upstart is how it&#39;ll fare during an economic downturn with interest rates skyrocketing. Since it hasn&#39;t exactly weathered a true recession or lasting downturn, and lending institutions are clearly becoming pickier about the loans they&#39;ll take on, Upstart&#39;s share price has taken a big hit.</p><p>However, with Upstart demonstrating that it can be quite profitable during long-winded periods of expansion, and the company moving its AI-driven loan-vetting solutions into larger markets, such as auto and small business loans, the sky could be the limit for patient investors.</p><h2>Meta Platforms</h2><p>The second remarkable growth stock that billionaires piled into during Q2 is social media company <b>Meta Platforms</b>. In particular, billionaire Ken Griffin&#39;s Citadel Advisors was a big buyer. All told, Citadel purchased more than 4 million shares, which increased its stake to approximately 4.58 million shares.</p><p>One of the biggest reasons to believe in Meta is the company&#39;s leading social media assets. Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger have consistently been among the world&#39;s most downloaded apps. What&#39;s more, these sites collectively drew in 3.65 billion monthly active users during Q2. That&#39;s more than half the world&#39;s adult population. It&#39;s easy to see Meta commanding substantial ad-pricing power during long periods of economic expansion.</p><p>But the future for Meta lies with the metaverse -- the next iteration of the internet which&#39;ll allow connected users to interact with each other and their environment in a 3D virtual world. The infrastructure for the metaverse is going to take years to build out. However, the thinking is that Meta could be a key on-ramp to this $30 trillion opportunity.</p><p>Although ad spending is challenged at the moment, Meta is cheaper than it&#39;s ever been as a publicly traded company. Taking into account its storied history of double-digit annual growth, a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 15, and its more than $40 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, a strong case can be made that Ken Griffin is a genius.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/53d9279e3083be7083f486995c017630\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>CrowdStrike Holdings</h2><p>A third supercharged growth stock that billionaires clearly can&#39;t stop buying is cybersecurity company <b>CrowdStrike Holdings</b>. Billionaire Steven Cohen of Point72 Asset Management oversaw the purchase of more than 819,000 shares of CrowdStrike during Q2. This increased Point72&#39;s position to around 955,000 shares and made CrowdStrike its 14th largest holding.</p><p>Cohen&#39;s attraction to CrowdStrike might be as simple as the defensive nature of the cybersecurity industry. No matter how well or poorly the U.S. economy and stock market perform, hackers and robots don&#39;t take time off from trying to steal enterprise and consumer data. This creates a rock-solid demand base for cybersecurity providers like CrowdStrike.</p><p>Then again, Cohen might prefer CrowdStrike for its best-of-breed end-user protection. Falcon, as the company&#39;s security platform is known, is driven by AI. Overseeing approximately 1 trillion events daily allows Falcon to grow exponentially better at identifying and responding to potential threats, compared to on-premises security solutions.</p><p>But the most impressive aspect of CrowdStrike might just be what happens when it lands a customer. In a little over five years, the percentage of clients who&#39;ve purchased four or more cloud-module subscriptions has catapulted from 9% to 71%. Furthermore, even though CrowdStrike isn&#39;t the cheapest option, its gross retention rate has hovered near 98% for the past four years. While adding new customers is great -- and is something CrowdStrike doesn&#39;t struggle to do -- the company&#39;s subscription gross margin is benefiting most from existing customers spending more.</p><h2>Shopify</h2><p>The fourth and final remarkable growth stock that billionaires can&#39;t stop buying is cloud-based e-commerce platform <b>Shopify</b>. Billionaire Jim Simons of Renaissance Technologies oversaw the purchase of a whopping 14.04 million shares of Shopify during Q2. This vaulted the company all the way to Renaissance&#39;s No. 26 holding, as of the end of June.</p><p>For Simons, Shopify&#39;s e-commerce potential is probably the biggest draw. Last year, Shopify announced that it had a $153 billion addressable market solely from small businesses. This doesn&#39;t even account for the larger businesses that have begun latching onto Shopify via subscription. With Shopify generating $6 billion in sales last year, it&#39;s still just scratching the tip of the iceberg with regard to its e-commerce potential.</p><p>Another reason for Simons to be excited about Shopify is the company&#39;s innovative capacity. For instance, in 2021 it introduced Shop Pay -- a buy-now, pay-later (BNPL) solution that should help the company&#39;s merchants grow. Ultimately, Shopify does better when its merchants do well. As small businesses grow, they&#39;re more likely to upgrade to a higher-margin (i.e., pricier) subscription service.</p><p>The biggest hurdle for Shopify to overcome is going to be its valuation. Shopify is a retail-dependent company. Back-to-back quarters of gross domestic-product declines for the U.S. economy -- as well as historically high inflation adversely impacting the lowest-earning decile -- spell potential trouble for enterprise and consumer spending.

Since hitting their respective all-time highs between November and January, the broad-based S&P 500 and tech-centric Nasdaq Composite both entered a bear market with peak declines of 24% and 34%. The S&P 500's year-to-date performance through June 2022 was its worst first-half return since 1970!Yet in spite of this turmoil, successful money managers haven't been fazed one bit. We know this thanks to required quarterly 13F filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). A 13F allows investors an under-the-hood look at what fund managers with at least $100 million in assets under management (AUM) were buying, selling, and holding in the recently ended quarter.Image source: Getty Images.It was a particularly active quarter for billionaires who chose to pile into a number of highly innovative (and generally beaten-down) growth stocks. What follows are four remarkable growth stocks that billionaires simply can't stop buying.Upstart HoldingsThe first phenomenal growth stock that's attracted the attention of at least one billionaire money manager is cloud-based lending platform Upstart Holdings. Billionaire Philippe Laffont of Coatue Management gobbled up more than 2.36 million shares of Upstart during the second quarter, making it a top-30 position for the hedge fund giant.What makes Upstart such an intriguing company is its artificial intelligence (AI)-driven platform. Relying on machine learning for loan vetting has resulted in nearly three-quarters of all loan applications being approved digitally. This saves time and considerable cost for the company's nearly six dozen lending partners.Equally important is the fact that Upstart's approvals have led to a broader swath of consumers being approved. In general, Upstart-vetted applicants have lower credit scores but have generated similar credit profiles (i.e., delinquency rates) as traditionally vetted applicants with higher average credit scores. The takeaway? Upstart can bring a larger pool of applicants to lenders without increasing their credit risk.The big question mark for Upstart is how it'll fare during an economic downturn with interest rates skyrocketing. Since it hasn't exactly weathered a true recession or lasting downturn, and lending institutions are clearly becoming pickier about the loans they'll take on, Upstart's share price has taken a big hit.However, with Upstart demonstrating that it can be quite profitable during long-winded periods of expansion, and the company moving its AI-driven loan-vetting solutions into larger markets, such as auto and small business loans, the sky could be the limit for patient investors.Meta PlatformsThe second remarkable growth stock that billionaires piled into during Q2 is social media company Meta Platforms. In particular, billionaire Ken Griffin's Citadel Advisors was a big buyer. All told, Citadel purchased more than 4 million shares, which increased its stake to approximately 4.58 million shares.One of the biggest reasons to believe in Meta is the company's leading social media assets. Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger have consistently been among the world's most downloaded apps. What's more, these sites collectively drew in 3.65 billion monthly active users during Q2. That's more than half the world's adult population. It's easy to see Meta commanding substantial ad-pricing power during long periods of economic expansion.But the future for Meta lies with the metaverse -- the next iteration of the internet which'll allow connected users to interact with each other and their environment in a 3D virtual world. The infrastructure for the metaverse is going to take years to build out. However, the thinking is that Meta could be a key on-ramp to this $30 trillion opportunity.Although ad spending is challenged at the moment, Meta is cheaper than it's ever been as a publicly traded company. Taking into account its storied history of double-digit annual growth, a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 15, and its more than $40 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, a strong case can be made that Ken Griffin is a genius.Image source: Getty Images.CrowdStrike HoldingsA third supercharged growth stock that billionaires clearly can't stop buying is cybersecurity company CrowdStrike Holdings. Billionaire Steven Cohen of Point72 Asset Management oversaw the purchase of more than 819,000 shares of CrowdStrike during Q2. This increased Point72's position to around 955,000 shares and made CrowdStrike its 14th largest holding.Cohen's attraction to CrowdStrike might be as simple as the defensive nature of the cybersecurity industry. No matter how well or poorly the U.S. economy and stock market perform, hackers and robots don't take time off from trying to steal enterprise and consumer data. This creates a rock-solid demand base for cybersecurity providers like CrowdStrike.Then again, Cohen might prefer CrowdStrike for its best-of-breed end-user protection. Falcon, as the company's security platform is known, is driven by AI. Overseeing approximately 1 trillion events daily allows Falcon to grow exponentially better at identifying and responding to potential threats, compared to on-premises security solutions.But the most impressive aspect of CrowdStrike might just be what happens when it lands a customer. In a little over five years, the percentage of clients who've purchased four or more cloud-module subscriptions has catapulted from 9% to 71%. Furthermore, even though CrowdStrike isn't the cheapest option, its gross retention rate has hovered near 98% for the past four years. While adding new customers is great -- and is something CrowdStrike doesn't struggle to do -- the company's subscription gross margin is benefiting most from existing customers spending more.ShopifyThe fourth and final remarkable growth stock that billionaires can't stop buying is cloud-based e-commerce platform Shopify. Billionaire Jim Simons of Renaissance Technologies oversaw the purchase of a whopping 14.04 million shares of Shopify during Q2. This vaulted the company all the way to Renaissance's No. 26 holding, as of the end of June.For Simons, Shopify's e-commerce potential is probably the biggest draw. Last year, Shopify announced that it had a $153 billion addressable market solely from small businesses. This doesn't even account for the larger businesses that have begun latching onto Shopify via subscription. With Shopify generating $6 billion in sales last year, it's still just scratching the tip of the iceberg with regard to its e-commerce potential.Another reason for Simons to be excited about Shopify is the company's innovative capacity. For instance, in 2021 it introduced Shop Pay -- a buy-now, pay-later (BNPL) solution that should help the company's merchants grow. Ultimately, Shopify does better when its merchants do well. As small businesses grow, they're more likely to upgrade to a higher-margin (i.e., pricier) subscription service.The biggest hurdle for Shopify to overcome is going to be its valuation. Shopify is a retail-dependent company. Back-to-back quarters of gross domestic-product declines for the U.S. economy -- as well as historically high inflation adversely impacting the lowest-earning decile -- spell potential trouble for enterprise and consumer spending. While the future does look bright for e-commerce spending, the next six months to a year could prove quite bumpy for Renaissance's new investment.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":496,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9072226500,"gmtCreate":1658042923100,"gmtModify":1676536098124,"author":{"id":"3579312487183817","authorId":"3579312487183817","name":"Gizmo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/887bf6c39b0597e6a9fe6d01520d254e","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579312487183817","authorIdStr":"3579312487183817"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍&nbsp;","listText":"👍&nbsp;","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9072226500","repostId":"2251841965","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2251841965","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1658022733,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2251841965?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-07-17 09:52","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is the New Netflix-Microsoft Partnership a Massive Mistake?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2251841965","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Microsoft will power Netflix's ads, but the competition will be stiff.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Microsoft</b> (MSFT 1.04%) has signed a deal with <b>Netflix</b> (NFLX 8.20%) to provide the technology and sales expertise that will underpin the streamer&#39;s upcoming ad-supported tier.

After all, if the streamer wants \"flexibility,\" part of that idea might be eventually moving to an ad network that has more stature in the advertising industry.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":467,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9041712816,"gmtCreate":1656111098636,"gmtModify":1676535767777,"author":{"id":"3579312487183817","authorId":"3579312487183817","name":"Gizmo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/887bf6c39b0597e6a9fe6d01520d254e","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579312487183817","authorIdStr":"3579312487183817"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9041712816","repostId":"2245227500","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2245227500","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1656062886,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2245227500?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-24 17:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Palantir: A Strong Recession Play","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2245227500","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"SummaryPalantir’s shares have been trampled upon this year.The firm's government segment and recent ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>Palantir’s shares have been trampled upon this year.</li><li>The firm&#39;s government segment and recent contract win should stabilize Palantir as the economy likely heads into a recession.</li><li>Palantir is cashed up and has no financial debt.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/23d0f121f38325521c0b8ebbb42b26b3\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"500\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Michael Vi/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p><p>Shares of software analytics company <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PLTR\">Palantir Technologies Inc.</a> (NYSE:PLTR) have so far lost 50% of their value year to date.

Nonetheless, some shareholders who agree with that stance still want Twitter to seek a better offer from Musk, whose net worth is pegged by Forbes at $270 billion, the sources told Reuters.</p><p>One option available to Twitter&#39;s board is to open its books to Musk to try to coax him to sweeten his bid. Another would be to solicit offers from other potential bidders. While it is not yet clear which path Twitter will take, it is increasingly likely that its board will attempt to solicit a better offer from Musk even as it rebuffs the current <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>, the sources said.</p><p>&#34;I wouldn&#39;t be surprised to wake up next week and see Musk raise what he called his best and final offer to possibly $64.20 per share,&#34; one of the fund managers who is invested in Twitter said on condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations with the company.</p><p>&#34;He could also drop the whole thing entirely. Anything is possible,&#34; the fund manager said about Musk&#39;s offer.</p><p>Twitter shares closed at $48.93 on Friday, a significant discount to Musk&#39;s offer that reflects the uncertainty over his bid&#39;s fate.</p><p>Twitter adopted a poison pill after Musk made his offer to prevent him from raising his more than 9% stake in the company above 15% without negotiating a deal with its board. In response, Musk has threatened to launch a tender offer that he could use to register Twitter shareholder support for his bid.</p><p>A concern that Twitter&#39;s board is weighing is that unless it seeks to negotiate a deal with Musk, many shareholders could back him in a tender offer, the sources said. While the poison pill would prevent Twitter shareholders from tendering their shares, the company is worried that its negotiating hand would weaken considerably if it was shown to be going against the will of many of its investors, the sources added.</p><p>Musk, the chief executive of electric car maker Tesla Inc, has been meeting with Twitter shareholders since he unveiled his offer on April 14, seeking support for his bid. Musk has said Twitter needs to be taken private to grow and become a genuine platform for free speech.</p><p>Representatives for Twitter and Musk did not immediately respond to requests for comment.</p><p>The Wall Street Journal reported earlier on Sunday on some of Musk&#39;s meetings with Twitter shareholders.</p><p>The price expectations among Twitter shareholders for the deal diverge largely based on their investment strategy, the sources said. Active long-term shareholders, who together with index funds hold the biggest chunk of Twitter shares, have higher price expectations, some in the $60s-per-share, the sources said.
