The company has denied those allegations as well.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":467,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9926783717,"gmtCreate":1671633181639,"gmtModify":1676538567013,"author":{"id":"3579343697014515","authorId":"3579343697014515","name":"Benjean","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/22d4af8e6b3c8979779451d0782b9069","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579343697014515","authorIdStr":"3579343697014515"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Trade regularly&nbsp;","listText":"Trade regularly&nbsp;","text":"Trade regularly","images":[{"img":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/63beb07ba0b42def7f2b06e431c35337","width":"1080","height":"1661"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9926783717","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":578,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9968311818,"gmtCreate":1669127266035,"gmtModify":1676538155814,"author":{"id":"3579343697014515","authorId":"3579343697014515","name":"Benjean","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/22d4af8e6b3c8979779451d0782b9069","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579343697014515","authorIdStr":"3579343697014515"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy Buy Buy","listText":"Buy Buy Buy","text":"Buy Buy Buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9968311818","repostId":"9961500741","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":9961500741,"gmtCreate":1668991037684,"gmtModify":1676538134960,"author":{"id":"4113904591642392","authorId":"4113904591642392","name":"LMSunshine","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/0ad636f2490d8428fcee9da6d669e46c","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4113904591642392","authorIdStr":"4113904591642392"},"themes":[],"title":"🌊SEA Predictions & History At A Glance👀","htmlText":"🌊 <a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/SE\">$Sea Ltd(SE)$&nbsp;</a><v-v data-views=\"0\"></v-v>have been rather popular recently after releasing its Q3 earnings so I decided to do some research on it using the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and Yahoo Finance (YF).

Alphabet (GOOG,GOOGL), Meta Platforms (META) andAmazon (AMZN) all disappointed Wall Street, while the tech giant best known for its iPhone franchisereportedsolid earnings and quarterly revenue of $90.1 billion, slightly beating analyst estimates and up 8.1% year-over-year. iPhone and Mac sales were up 9.7% and 25.4% in a high-inflation environment, respectively, suggesting that Apple is indeed one of the companies with real pricing power. On a year-over-year annual basis, Apple also shined where others looked lackluster. Total fiscal 2022 net sales were up 7.8%, thanks largely to strong growth in iPhone (+7.0%), Mac (+14.2%) and services (+14.2%). From this perspective, Wall Street&#39;s positive reaction hardly seems surprising.</p><p>I have had Apple on my watch list for quite some time, and I continue to be amazed how the stock has largely defied the bear market of 2022. The main pillars of my investment thesis in Apple are:</p><ul><li>Apple seems to have an unending ability to design and manufacture hardware and software that is not only functional, but also highly intuitive, elegant and very appealing. Even though they are mass products, Apple&#39;s gadgets enjoy the ranks of status symbols.</li></ul><ul><li>Recognizing that selling hardware does not scale well, the company has created a deep ecosystem through its app store and the many experiences and productivity enhancements it offers. In this way, Apple retains consumers and ensures high switching costs in an industry otherwise characterized by high competition.</li></ul><ul><li>Where others have managed to develop either standout smartphone technology (e.g., Samsung&#39;s Galaxy series) or a smartphone operating system (Google&#39;s Android), Apple has been able to take advantage of the synergies of top-quality hardware and software offerings.</li></ul><ul><li>The company&#39;s balance sheet is absolutely solid and will benefit in a rising interest rate environment, as it has $145.5 billion in marketable securities (mostly long-term) - not counting the $23.6 billion in cash and cash equivalents - and only $120.0 billion in debt.</li></ul><p>It is easy to like Apple as an investment. However, when I find nothing but positive things about an investment, it usually gives me pause. As a dyed-in-the-wool value investor, I am very careful not to overpay for my investments, especially when a company is firing on all cylinders - there is a thin line between a value trap and a world-class company that is simply too expensive. In this article, I will discuss Apple&#39;s normalized free cash flow, my expectations for future growth and my thoughts on what could limit the growth story. I will value Apple from a discounted cash flow basis, making sense of what the market has currently priced into the stock. In closing, I present my rationale for refraining from buying Apple at this time.</p><p>Apple Is Rightly Touted As A Major Cash Flow Machine</p><p>When it comes to the question of why Apple stock should command a premium valuation, many investors point to the company&#39;s strong cash flow. I do not disagree, and in fact, Apple&#39;s cash flow is one reason I would like to own shares in the company.</p><p>My regular readers know that I rely only on normalized free cash flow (nFCF), which means I adjust conventional FCF for working capital movements, stock-based compensation expenses, non-cash impairment and restructuring charges (if routinely observed), and acquisitions (if the company relies on growth through acquisitions). Those interested in the approach can take a look at my detailededucational articlepublished last month.</p><p>Acquisitions, impairments and restructuring charges are very rarely seen at Apple. This is due to the company&#39;s conservative and disciplined approach to acquisitions, which deserves praise at a time when other companies are squandering cash left and right in sometimes desperate attempts to diversify into new growth areas. However, as with many tech companies (see myarticleon this topic), stock-based compensations (SBCs) are significant and trending upward. This is due, in part, to the way stock-based compensation is accounted for and it should be kept in mind that adjusting free cash flow for SBCs is a relatively conservative measure. Figure 1 shows Apple&#39;s stock-based compensation since fiscal 2012 as a percentage of operating cash flow (OCF) normalized for working capital movements. Even though significant, this form of employee compensation is relatively modest at Apple, averaging 8% of normalized OCF since fiscal 2016, compared to Alphabet, for example (see myrecent article).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/634624a2a799950e29c025c2e979a431\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 1: Apple’s stock-based compensation expenses (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2011 to 2022 10-Ks.</p><p>Apple’s normalized free cash flow, as I use it for my assessment of the company’s future cash flow potential, is shown in Figure 2. Clearly, the pandemic acted as a huge tailwind for the company, as is underlined by nFCF growth rates of +23%, +43% and 13% in fiscal 2020, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022. Apple’s cash-generating power is underlined further when comparing these growth figures to the company’s sales growth numbers for the same periods: +6%, +33% and +8%.</p><p>Companies that report unbelievably strong earnings are potentially suspect of managing their results, and therefore it seems reasonable to assess the quality of Apple’s cash flow. Excess Cash Margin (ECM) is a measure of the relative growth rates of operating income and OCF and enables the detection of potential earnings problems or accounting shenanigans. In the case of Apple, the ECM moved in a reasonably narrow window of -2.4% and +2.0% in the last ten fiscal years and without a notable up- or downward trend. An upward trend in ECM would signal that earnings are growing slower (or declining faster) than OCF, while a downward trend indicates that earnings are either growing faster or declining slower than OCF.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/018899362ea317f0a826fd5072e9f3c0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"385\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 2: Apple’s normalized free cash flow – conventionally obtained FCF is on average 10% higher, largely due to stock-based compensations (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2010 to 2022 10-Ks.</p><h3>Reasons For Apple&#39;s Outstanding Free Cash Flow Growth - And Why It May Not Be Sustainable</h3><p>Apple&#39;s free cash flow growth since the pandemic has been spectacular. So, the really important question is: Where did the growth come from, and can it continue? Because ultimately, the share price is only an unromantic reflection of a company&#39;s future cash flows, discounted to today at an appropriate rate.</p><h3>Strong Brand Stickiness, Pricing Power - But Discretionary Products After All</h3><p>As already mentioned, the pandemic acted as a tremendous tailwind for Apple. During these difficult times, consumers learned to love Apple&#39;s software ecosystem even more, as well as the large number of accessories that only reach their full potential in combination with an Apple iPhone, iPod or Mac computer. Thanks to the increasingly strong lock-in effect and the seemingly unending desire to own these very elegant and highly intuitive pieces of hardware, Apple is able to exert pricing power on consumers even in times of high inflation. However, it is important to remember that an iPhone or Mac computer is ultimately largely a discretionary product, and the purchase of the next iteration can be postponed in the event of an economic downturn. As will be shown later, a recession is likely not currently priced into Apple stock.</p><h3>Geographical Concentration Risks</h3><p>Investors should note that Apple generated nearly a quarter of its fiscal 2022 sales in Europe, and it seems reasonable to expect that the eurozone, unlike the United States, will have a much harder time overcoming high inflation rates, in part due to the substantial debt of southern European countries, which would likely become insolvent if interest rates were raised at a pace similar to that in the United States. Of course, however, keeping inflation in control by raising interest rates is an incomplete line of thinking.</p><p>Nevertheless, the difficult situation of the European Central Bank and its increasing emphasis on approaches reminiscent of a planned economy (e.g.,Green Dealand the resultingTaxonomy Regulation) are preparing the bloc for continued high inflation rates and thus lower disposable incomes.</p><p>A deep recession in Europe is also likely to impact Apple&#39;s supply chain, as the company relies on several hundred suppliers in Germany (767 in 2018 according toHandelsblatt).</p><p>Of course, Apple&#39;s global position also makes it vulnerable to foreign exchange rate headwinds, as the company ultimately reports its earnings in U.S. dollars. However, I believe this is a well-known aspect that applies to all truly global companies. There is only so much a company can do to hedge against exchange rate fluctuations, and I consider this a simple cost of doing business when operating on a global scale.</p><h3>Sustainability Of App Store Margins</h3><p>Software developers have noticed the seemingly unstoppable growth of Apple&#39;s installed base, which probably recently passed the2 billion mark. Apple&#39;s growth keeps developers motivated to continue to create new apps for iOS, which has the added advantage of very limited device configurations compared to the numerous devices running Android. I expect Apple to benefit from this for the foreseeable future, as long as the company does not make any glaring hardware design mistakes and stays true to its intuitive software architecture. However, it should not be forgotten that Apple faces challenges related to its somewhat aggressive monopolistic behavior in connection with its app store. It therefore seems prudent to keep an eye on Apple&#39;s subscription-based sales. I view it as largely positive that Apple&#39;s (high-margin) service revenue has increased from 11% of total revenue in fiscal 2016 to nearly 20% in fiscal 2022. However, improved app developer compensation and increased regulatory scrutiny could deal a blow to this important segment, thereby impacting free cash flow.</p><p>Working Capital Management</p><p>Another aspect to consider is working capital management. Cash is king, and companies with pricing power benefit enormously by being able to enforce their payment terms on both their suppliers and their customers. In addition, global giants like Apple benefit significantly from highly efficient inventory management. Less cash tied up in working capital accounts (receivables, inventories) leads to higher free cash flow. By minimizing the time to collect payments from customers and maximizing the time to pay suppliers, a company can benefit significantly from cheap (or free) credit. This is in particular important in a rising interest rate environment. A - highly desirable - negative cash conversion cycle (CCC) results when a company can collect and retain payments from customers for a certain time, that actually belong to suppliers (e.g., app developers).</p><p>Apple is a shining example in this regard and has kept its inventory days and days sales outstanding (DSO) very tight while expanding its days payables outstanding (DPO) quite significantly between fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2019 (Figure 3). However, presumably due to ongoing supply chain issues and the relocation of certain suppliers, DPO declined in recent years, resulting in a weakening but still excellent cash conversion cycle (CCC) of -62 days in fiscal 2022.</p><p>Improved conditions for app developers, as hypothesized above, could also put pressure on Apple&#39;s working capital management, thereby impacting free cash flow. Conversely, supply chain issues will eventually be resolved, improving the working capital management of Apple&#39;s hardware segment.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cd5c74594b446fea946163da22c51878\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 3: Apple’s days sales and payables outstanding, inventory days and cash conversion cycle (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2012 to 2022 10-Ks.</p><h3>Possible Signs Of Underinvestment And The Course Toward Mean Reversion</h3><p>It is also worth noting Apple&#39;s capital expenditures, which typically range from $9 billion to $13 billion per year. Relatively speaking, capital expenditures have been on a downward trend since fiscal 2016, as shown in Figure 4. While some might argue that Apple is underinvesting, I would not overstate this aspect at this point in time (see below). While capital expenditures as a percentage of OCF continue to decline, it should be remembered that this is largely due to strong OCF growth and only to a small extent a result of lower actual investment in the business.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/02df2459453a284cd343b9f1bb690fe5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 4: Apple’s capital expenditures as a percentage of normalized operating cash flow (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2011 to 2022 10-Ks.</p><p>Apple&#39;s key long-term free cash flow growth driver is innovation. Apple has innovated in both hardware and software, for example by introducing its ownprocessorsin its iPhones and Mac computers, a smart watch (Apple Watch), and its own payment service (Apple Pay). However, Apple has not introduced any groundbreaking new devices like theiPhoneor the iPod in a long time. I do believe that at some point, the users so accustomed to innovations will be saturated as it becomes increasingly difficult to pack truly groundbreaking new features into the devices currently available.</p><p>At some point, Apple will have to come up with a new technological gadget - whether it is some sort of wearable, self-driving car, or technologically integrated piece of furniture. I am sure Apple will come up with something at some point, but it is also true that the race to find the next hot innovation is extremely competitive and capital-intensive, especially as it relates to autonomous driving. From this perspective, it does not seem unrealistic to assume that Apple will have to invest more and more cash flow into the business at a percentage equal to or above the historical average, as shown in Figure 4.</p><h3>What Is Currently Priced Into AAPL Stock?</h3><p>Several aspects underlying Apple&#39;s excellent free cash flow growth have been discussed, as well as potentially limiting factors. With the release of the fiscal2022 10-Ka few days ago, we now have a clear view of Apple&#39;s recent cash flows, which provide a basis for valuing the stock.</p><p>First, let me share my FAST Graphs-inspired chart in Figure 5, which shows Apple&#39;s nFCF per share versus split-adjusted price per share. Clearly, Apple&#39;s stock price and free cash flow decoupled sometime in 2020, when investors began pricing huge growth rates into the stock. While it is entirely possible that Apple will continue to be able to grow its free cash flow at a high rate going forward, I simply believe that the likelihood of FCF remaining stagnant for at least a couple of years is relatively high for the reasons outlined above. Apple stock could be dead money for the foreseeable future, or worse, it could move closer to its long-term FCF trend, suggesting ample downside and a current fair value in the $100 region.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f7d675df943d6075843ba251551a1796\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 5: Apple’s normalized free cash flow per share compared to its split-adjusted share price; note that nFCFs have been aligned with fiscal year ends in late September (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2022 10-Ks and the daily closing stock price of AAPL)</p><p>Next, I evaluated Apple stock from a discounted cash flow (DCF) perspective - after all, a company is only worth the sum of its future cash flows, discounted to today at an appropriate rate. For Apple, I believe a cost of equity of 9.5% is appropriate, taking into account current long-term government bond rates and a 5% equity risk premium. For the DCF analysis below, I have used Apple&#39;s average nFCF for fiscal years 2021 to 2022 as the baseline cash flow, which may even be a somewhat optimistic assumption given the threat of a recession.</p><p>Long-term visibility of revenue (and thus cash flow) is very difficult, which is also underscored by analyst estimates. More than 20 analystscoverApple on a two-year basis, expecting year-over-year revenue growth rates of 3.3% and 5.2% for fiscal years 2023 and 2024, respectively. After that, the number of analysts drops to 9. From fiscal 2026 to fiscal 2027, only 2 analysts cover Apple, and for the later years, there is only one analyst - a particularly optimistic one - who expects year-over-year sales growth rates of 18%, 9%, 9%, 10%, and 10% between fiscal 2028 and 2032. I am not in a position to provide plausible long-term estimates, but I consider anything higher than 5% p.a. over the next five years to be unduly optimistic for the reasons outlined above. Therefore, in the illustration of the DCF model in Figure 6, I have used a growth rate of 5% for the next five years, 4% for the subsequent five years, and a terminal growth rate of 3%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/717fa79d412f6b54795b36161c6ec657\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 6: Cash flows underlying Apple&#39;s discounted cash flow analysis; terminal value not shown (own work)</p><p>Summing the discounted cash flows and dividing the result by the current number of weighted average diluted shares outstanding yields a fair value of about $100, which is well in line with the backward-looking valuation in Figure 6.</p><p>Put differently, to justify the current price of $150 per share, Apple would need to grow its free cash flow at a rate of 10% per year over the next five years (is this a realistic assumption in the context of a likely economic downturn?), followed by a growth rate of a similarly high 8% p.a. until year 10, and a terminal growth rate of 5%.</p><p>Personally, I find it difficult to see such growth rates as realistic for the reasons mentioned above. In order to achieve such rates, Apple will likely be forced to diversify into other business areas, which is associated with considerable uncertainties, as its current business model will simply lack the addressable market at some point due to size.</p><p>However, some may object that both valuation approaches are based on free cash flow and therefore represent an isolated approach. This is true, and conventional multiples-based approaches can also provide a good view on a company&#39;s valuation. Figure 7 compares ten-year averages of earnings- and revenue-based multiples with current values. It is evident that Apple is significantly overvalued on every metric, including its dividend yield (currently 0.6% versus a five-year average of 1.4%). Finally, it should also be remembered that these valuations are the product of what is likely the strongest bull market in recent history, giving cautious investors pause for thought. Morningstar currentlyratesApple at two stars and believes the stock is 15% overvalued. It is worth noting that the investor services firm views Apple as a company with only a narrow economic moat.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e3a0cff58027ed2abd92ab04313f85e4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 7: Historical valuation of Apple stock, note that the price-earnings-growth ratio (PEG) has scaled by a factor of 10 for the sake of visibility (own work)</p><h3>Concluding Remarks</h3><p>There is no question about it - Apple is a world-class company with a deeply rooted ecosystem, an ever-growing, religious-like following, and very strong management. The company is one of the few with real pricing power. However, with all the justified optimism, Apple markets largely discretionary products.</p><p>Investors expect Apple to continue to be able to grow free cash flow by double digit, or at least high single digit rates, for the foreseeable future. However, the growth story has its limits. Apple will likely reach its limits at some point because the addressable market is saturated, so it will need to pursue other growth opportunities. Exploring new opportunities comes with execution risks and requires significant capital expenditures, which have been steadily declining since fiscal 2016 in relative terms. Moreover, Apple is already an extremely well-managed company that will struggle to increase free cash flow through improvements in working capital management - an often-overlooked growth driver of several less well-managed companies.</p><p>As I have shown, Apple is significantly overvalued assuming more down-to-earth growth expectations. The market has been merciless on other tech stocks such as Amazon, Meta Platforms and Alphabet. So it is only reasonable to assume that Apple stock will also take a serious beating should the company fall short of expectations in any of the coming quarters. For example, what if the all-important holiday shopping season turns out slower than expected, capital expenditures rise significantly, or Europe faces a deep recession?</p><p>If I owned the stock, I would at least toy with the idea of selling it, as it is obviously overvalued.

I think Apple is dead money at best for the foreseeable future.I am not currently invested in the stock, but if I were, I would at least consider selling it, assuming I held it in a tax-deferred or tax-exempt account.Introduction And Investment ThesisLast week, Apple surprised on the upside in an otherwise very bad week for tech investors. Alphabet (GOOG,GOOGL), Meta Platforms (META) andAmazon (AMZN) all disappointed Wall Street, while the tech giant best known for its iPhone franchisereportedsolid earnings and quarterly revenue of $90.1 billion, slightly beating analyst estimates and up 8.1% year-over-year. iPhone and Mac sales were up 9.7% and 25.4% in a high-inflation environment, respectively, suggesting that Apple is indeed one of the companies with real pricing power. On a year-over-year annual basis, Apple also shined where others looked lackluster. Total fiscal 2022 net sales were up 7.8%, thanks largely to strong growth in iPhone (+7.0%), Mac (+14.2%) and services (+14.2%). From this perspective, Wall Street's positive reaction hardly seems surprising.I have had Apple on my watch list for quite some time, and I continue to be amazed how the stock has largely defied the bear market of 2022. The main pillars of my investment thesis in Apple are:Apple seems to have an unending ability to design and manufacture hardware and software that is not only functional, but also highly intuitive, elegant and very appealing. Even though they are mass products, Apple's gadgets enjoy the ranks of status symbols.Recognizing that selling hardware does not scale well, the company has created a deep ecosystem through its app store and the many experiences and productivity enhancements it offers. In this way, Apple retains consumers and ensures high switching costs in an industry otherwise characterized by high competition.Where others have managed to develop either standout smartphone technology (e.g., Samsung's Galaxy series) or a smartphone operating system (Google's Android), Apple has been able to take advantage of the synergies of top-quality hardware and software offerings.The company's balance sheet is absolutely solid and will benefit in a rising interest rate environment, as it has $145.5 billion in marketable securities (mostly long-term) - not counting the $23.6 billion in cash and cash equivalents - and only $120.0 billion in debt.It is easy to like Apple as an investment. However, when I find nothing but positive things about an investment, it usually gives me pause. As a dyed-in-the-wool value investor, I am very careful not to overpay for my investments, especially when a company is firing on all cylinders - there is a thin line between a value trap and a world-class company that is simply too expensive. In this article, I will discuss Apple's normalized free cash flow, my expectations for future growth and my thoughts on what could limit the growth story. I will value Apple from a discounted cash flow basis, making sense of what the market has currently priced into the stock. In closing, I present my rationale for refraining from buying Apple at this time.Apple Is Rightly Touted As A Major Cash Flow MachineWhen it comes to the question of why Apple stock should command a premium valuation, many investors point to the company's strong cash flow. I do not disagree, and in fact, Apple's cash flow is one reason I would like to own shares in the company.My regular readers know that I rely only on normalized free cash flow (nFCF), which means I adjust conventional FCF for working capital movements, stock-based compensation expenses, non-cash impairment and restructuring charges (if routinely observed), and acquisitions (if the company relies on growth through acquisitions). Those interested in the approach can take a look at my detailededucational articlepublished last month.Acquisitions, impairments and restructuring charges are very rarely seen at Apple. This is due to the company's conservative and disciplined approach to acquisitions, which deserves praise at a time when other companies are squandering cash left and right in sometimes desperate attempts to diversify into new growth areas. However, as with many tech companies (see myarticleon this topic), stock-based compensations (SBCs) are significant and trending upward. This is due, in part, to the way stock-based compensation is accounted for and it should be kept in mind that adjusting free cash flow for SBCs is a relatively conservative measure. Figure 1 shows Apple's stock-based compensation since fiscal 2012 as a percentage of operating cash flow (OCF) normalized for working capital movements. Even though significant, this form of employee compensation is relatively modest at Apple, averaging 8% of normalized OCF since fiscal 2016, compared to Alphabet, for example (see myrecent article).Figure 1: Apple’s stock-based compensation expenses (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2011 to 2022 10-Ks.Apple’s normalized free cash flow, as I use it for my assessment of the company’s future cash flow potential, is shown in Figure 2. Clearly, the pandemic acted as a huge tailwind for the company, as is underlined by nFCF growth rates of +23%, +43% and 13% in fiscal 2020, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022. Apple’s cash-generating power is underlined further when comparing these growth figures to the company’s sales growth numbers for the same periods: +6%, +33% and +8%.Companies that report unbelievably strong earnings are potentially suspect of managing their results, and therefore it seems reasonable to assess the quality of Apple’s cash flow. Excess Cash Margin (ECM) is a measure of the relative growth rates of operating income and OCF and enables the detection of potential earnings problems or accounting shenanigans. In the case of Apple, the ECM moved in a reasonably narrow window of -2.4% and +2.0% in the last ten fiscal years and without a notable up- or downward trend. An upward trend in ECM would signal that earnings are growing slower (or declining faster) than OCF, while a downward trend indicates that earnings are either growing faster or declining slower than OCF.Figure 2: Apple’s normalized free cash flow – conventionally obtained FCF is on average 10% higher, largely due to stock-based compensations (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2010 to 2022 10-Ks.Reasons For Apple's Outstanding Free Cash Flow Growth - And Why It May Not Be SustainableApple's free cash flow growth since the pandemic has been spectacular. So, the really important question is: Where did the growth come from, and can it continue? Because ultimately, the share price is only an unromantic reflection of a company's future cash flows, discounted to today at an appropriate rate.Strong Brand Stickiness, Pricing Power - But Discretionary Products After AllAs already mentioned, the pandemic acted as a tremendous tailwind for Apple. During these difficult times, consumers learned to love Apple's software ecosystem even more, as well as the large number of accessories that only reach their full potential in combination with an Apple iPhone, iPod or Mac computer. Thanks to the increasingly strong lock-in effect and the seemingly unending desire to own these very elegant and highly intuitive pieces of hardware, Apple is able to exert pricing power on consumers even in times of high inflation. However, it is important to remember that an iPhone or Mac computer is ultimately largely a discretionary product, and the purchase of the next iteration can be postponed in the event of an economic downturn. As will be shown later, a recession is likely not currently priced into Apple stock.Geographical Concentration RisksInvestors should note that Apple generated nearly a quarter of its fiscal 2022 sales in Europe, and it seems reasonable to expect that the eurozone, unlike the United States, will have a much harder time overcoming high inflation rates, in part due to the substantial debt of southern European countries, which would likely become insolvent if interest rates were raised at a pace similar to that in the United States. Of course, however, keeping inflation in control by raising interest rates is an incomplete line of thinking.Nevertheless, the difficult situation of the European Central Bank and its increasing emphasis on approaches reminiscent of a planned economy (e.g.,Green Dealand the resultingTaxonomy Regulation) are preparing the bloc for continued high inflation rates and thus lower disposable incomes.A deep recession in Europe is also likely to impact Apple's supply chain, as the company relies on several hundred suppliers in Germany (767 in 2018 according toHandelsblatt).Of course, Apple's global position also makes it vulnerable to foreign exchange rate headwinds, as the company ultimately reports its earnings in U.S. dollars. However, I believe this is a well-known aspect that applies to all truly global companies. There is only so much a company can do to hedge against exchange rate fluctuations, and I consider this a simple cost of doing business when operating on a global scale.Sustainability Of App Store MarginsSoftware developers have noticed the seemingly unstoppable growth of Apple's installed base, which probably recently passed the2 billion mark. Apple's growth keeps developers motivated to continue to create new apps for iOS, which has the added advantage of very limited device configurations compared to the numerous devices running Android. I expect Apple to benefit from this for the foreseeable future, as long as the company does not make any glaring hardware design mistakes and stays true to its intuitive software architecture. However, it should not be forgotten that Apple faces challenges related to its somewhat aggressive monopolistic behavior in connection with its app store. It therefore seems prudent to keep an eye on Apple's subscription-based sales. I view it as largely positive that Apple's (high-margin) service revenue has increased from 11% of total revenue in fiscal 2016 to nearly 20% in fiscal 2022. However, improved app developer compensation and increased regulatory scrutiny could deal a blow to this important segment, thereby impacting free cash flow.Working Capital ManagementAnother aspect to consider is working capital management. Cash is king, and companies with pricing power benefit enormously by being able to enforce their payment terms on both their suppliers and their customers. In addition, global giants like Apple benefit significantly from highly efficient inventory management. Less cash tied up in working capital accounts (receivables, inventories) leads to higher free cash flow. By minimizing the time to collect payments from customers and maximizing the time to pay suppliers, a company can benefit significantly from cheap (or free) credit. This is in particular important in a rising interest rate environment. A - highly desirable - negative cash conversion cycle (CCC) results when a company can collect and retain payments from customers for a certain time, that actually belong to suppliers (e.g., app developers).Apple is a shining example in this regard and has kept its inventory days and days sales outstanding (DSO) very tight while expanding its days payables outstanding (DPO) quite significantly between fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2019 (Figure 3). However, presumably due to ongoing supply chain issues and the relocation of certain suppliers, DPO declined in recent years, resulting in a weakening but still excellent cash conversion cycle (CCC) of -62 days in fiscal 2022.Improved conditions for app developers, as hypothesized above, could also put pressure on Apple's working capital management, thereby impacting free cash flow. Conversely, supply chain issues will eventually be resolved, improving the working capital management of Apple's hardware segment.Figure 3: Apple’s days sales and payables outstanding, inventory days and cash conversion cycle (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2012 to 2022 10-Ks.Possible Signs Of Underinvestment And The Course Toward Mean ReversionIt is also worth noting Apple's capital expenditures, which typically range from $9 billion to $13 billion per year. Relatively speaking, capital expenditures have been on a downward trend since fiscal 2016, as shown in Figure 4. While some might argue that Apple is underinvesting, I would not overstate this aspect at this point in time (see below). While capital expenditures as a percentage of OCF continue to decline, it should be remembered that this is largely due to strong OCF growth and only to a small extent a result of lower actual investment in the business.Figure 4: Apple’s capital expenditures as a percentage of normalized operating cash flow (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2011 to 2022 10-Ks.Apple's key long-term free cash flow growth driver is innovation. Apple has innovated in both hardware and software, for example by introducing its ownprocessorsin its iPhones and Mac computers, a smart watch (Apple Watch), and its own payment service (Apple Pay). However, Apple has not introduced any groundbreaking new devices like theiPhoneor the iPod in a long time. I do believe that at some point, the users so accustomed to innovations will be saturated as it becomes increasingly difficult to pack truly groundbreaking new features into the devices currently available.At some point, Apple will have to come up with a new technological gadget - whether it is some sort of wearable, self-driving car, or technologically integrated piece of furniture. I am sure Apple will come up with something at some point, but it is also true that the race to find the next hot innovation is extremely competitive and capital-intensive, especially as it relates to autonomous driving. From this perspective, it does not seem unrealistic to assume that Apple will have to invest more and more cash flow into the business at a percentage equal to or above the historical average, as shown in Figure 4.What Is Currently Priced Into AAPL Stock?Several aspects underlying Apple's excellent free cash flow growth have been discussed, as well as potentially limiting factors. With the release of the fiscal2022 10-Ka few days ago, we now have a clear view of Apple's recent cash flows, which provide a basis for valuing the stock.First, let me share my FAST Graphs-inspired chart in Figure 5, which shows Apple's nFCF per share versus split-adjusted price per share. Clearly, Apple's stock price and free cash flow decoupled sometime in 2020, when investors began pricing huge growth rates into the stock. While it is entirely possible that Apple will continue to be able to grow its free cash flow at a high rate going forward, I simply believe that the likelihood of FCF remaining stagnant for at least a couple of years is relatively high for the reasons outlined above. Apple stock could be dead money for the foreseeable future, or worse, it could move closer to its long-term FCF trend, suggesting ample downside and a current fair value in the $100 region.Figure 5: Apple’s normalized free cash flow per share compared to its split-adjusted share price; note that nFCFs have been aligned with fiscal year ends in late September (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2022 10-Ks and the daily closing stock price of AAPL)Next, I evaluated Apple stock from a discounted cash flow (DCF) perspective - after all, a company is only worth the sum of its future cash flows, discounted to today at an appropriate rate. For Apple, I believe a cost of equity of 9.5% is appropriate, taking into account current long-term government bond rates and a 5% equity risk premium. For the DCF analysis below, I have used Apple's average nFCF for fiscal years 2021 to 2022 as the baseline cash flow, which may even be a somewhat optimistic assumption given the threat of a recession.Long-term visibility of revenue (and thus cash flow) is very difficult, which is also underscored by analyst estimates. More than 20 analystscoverApple on a two-year basis, expecting year-over-year revenue growth rates of 3.3% and 5.2% for fiscal years 2023 and 2024, respectively. After that, the number of analysts drops to 9. From fiscal 2026 to fiscal 2027, only 2 analysts cover Apple, and for the later years, there is only one analyst - a particularly optimistic one - who expects year-over-year sales growth rates of 18%, 9%, 9%, 10%, and 10% between fiscal 2028 and 2032. I am not in a position to provide plausible long-term estimates, but I consider anything higher than 5% p.a. over the next five years to be unduly optimistic for the reasons outlined above. Therefore, in the illustration of the DCF model in Figure 6, I have used a growth rate of 5% for the next five years, 4% for the subsequent five years, and a terminal growth rate of 3%.Figure 6: Cash flows underlying Apple's discounted cash flow analysis; terminal value not shown (own work)Summing the discounted cash flows and dividing the result by the current number of weighted average diluted shares outstanding yields a fair value of about $100, which is well in line with the backward-looking valuation in Figure 6.Put differently, to justify the current price of $150 per share, Apple would need to grow its free cash flow at a rate of 10% per year over the next five years (is this a realistic assumption in the context of a likely economic downturn?), followed by a growth rate of a similarly high 8% p.a. until year 10, and a terminal growth rate of 5%.Personally, I find it difficult to see such growth rates as realistic for the reasons mentioned above. In order to achieve such rates, Apple will likely be forced to diversify into other business areas, which is associated with considerable uncertainties, as its current business model will simply lack the addressable market at some point due to size.However, some may object that both valuation approaches are based on free cash flow and therefore represent an isolated approach. This is true, and conventional multiples-based approaches can also provide a good view on a company's valuation. Figure 7 compares ten-year averages of earnings- and revenue-based multiples with current values. It is evident that Apple is significantly overvalued on every metric, including its dividend yield (currently 0.6% versus a five-year average of 1.4%). Finally, it should also be remembered that these valuations are the product of what is likely the strongest bull market in recent history, giving cautious investors pause for thought. Morningstar currentlyratesApple at two stars and believes the stock is 15% overvalued. It is worth noting that the investor services firm views Apple as a company with only a narrow economic moat.Figure 7: Historical valuation of Apple stock, note that the price-earnings-growth ratio (PEG) has scaled by a factor of 10 for the sake of visibility (own work)Concluding RemarksThere is no question about it - Apple is a world-class company with a deeply rooted ecosystem, an ever-growing, religious-like following, and very strong management. The company is one of the few with real pricing power. However, with all the justified optimism, Apple markets largely discretionary products.Investors expect Apple to continue to be able to grow free cash flow by double digit, or at least high single digit rates, for the foreseeable future. However, the growth story has its limits. Apple will likely reach its limits at some point because the addressable market is saturated, so it will need to pursue other growth opportunities. Exploring new opportunities comes with execution risks and requires significant capital expenditures, which have been steadily declining since fiscal 2016 in relative terms. Moreover, Apple is already an extremely well-managed company that will struggle to increase free cash flow through improvements in working capital management - an often-overlooked growth driver of several less well-managed companies.As I have shown, Apple is significantly overvalued assuming more down-to-earth growth expectations. The market has been merciless on other tech stocks such as Amazon, Meta Platforms and Alphabet. So it is only reasonable to assume that Apple stock will also take a serious beating should the company fall short of expectations in any of the coming quarters. For example, what if the all-important holiday shopping season turns out slower than expected, capital expenditures rise significantly, or Europe faces a deep recession?If I owned the stock, I would at least toy with the idea of selling it, as it is obviously overvalued. This can easily be seen in the decoupling of the share price from free cash flow since 2020 and the decoupling from the overall market in 2022. Of course, this assumes that taxes do not need to be factored into the equation.Of course, none of these changes the fact that Apple is an extremely well-run company with a deeply entrenched ecosystem and an almost religious following. Therefore, I continue to keep the stock on my bear market watch list and patiently wait for the market to come back to its senses.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":821,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9982890484,"gmtCreate":1667138628448,"gmtModify":1676537865879,"author":{"id":"3579343697014515","authorId":"3579343697014515","name":"Benjean","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/22d4af8e6b3c8979779451d0782b9069","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579343697014515","authorIdStr":"3579343697014515"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Up 75.

CrowdStrike</h2><p>Many cybersecurity companies install on-site appliances to run their services. Those appliances take up a lot of space, require regular maintenance, and can be difficult to scale as an organization expands. To address those issues, a new generation of cybersecurity players challenged the industry leaders with subscription-based cloud services that don&#39;t require any on-site appliances. CrowdStrike, which went public three years ago, is one of these disruptive newcomers.</p><p>CrowdStrike&#39;s revenue rose 82% in fiscal 2021 -- which ended Jan. 31, 2021 --  and increased 66% to $1.45 billion in fiscal 2022. It anticipates another 51% to 52% revenue growth in the current fiscal year.

AMD</h2><p>AMD was once considered a distant underdog to <b>Intel</b> in x86 CPUs and <b>Nvidia</b> in discrete GPUs. But under CEO Lisa Su, who took the helm in 2014, AMD gained significant market share against Intel in CPUs, kept pace with Nvidia with new GPUs, and blended together its CPUs and GPUs in custom APUs for <b>Sony</b>&#39;s PlayStation consoles and <b>Microsoft</b>&#39;s Xbox consoles.</p><p>Instead of stubbornly manufacturing its own chips like Intel, AMD spun off its capital-intensive foundries and outsourced the production of its top-tier chips to<b> TSMC</b>. TSMC&#39;s technological lead against Intel in the &#34;process race&#34; to manufacture smaller and denser chips subsequently enabled AMD to develop more advanced chips than Intel and sell them at lower prices.</p><p>Those catalysts enabled AMD to grow like a weed. In 2020, its revenue rose 45% as its adjusted earnings more than doubled. In 2021, its revenue surged 68% to $16.4 billion as its adjusted earnings more than doubled again. PC sales have been gradually cooling off in a post-lockdown world, but AMD still expects its revenue to grow about 60% this year as its data center and embedded chips offset that cyclical slowdown. Analysts expect its adjusted earnings to grow 57%, which is a jaw-dropping growth rate for a stock that trades at just 23 times forward earnings.</p><h2>3. Meta Platforms</h2><p>Facebook&#39;s recent transformation into Meta Platforms, which reflects the expansion of its ecosystem into the metaverse with VR devices and software, coincided with the slowdown of its core advertising business. That deceleration, which Meta blamed on <b>Apple</b>&#39;s privacy changes on iOS and competition from <b>ByteDance</b>&#39;s TikTok, spooked the bulls.</p><p>However, the bears often gloss over the fact that Meta&#39;s &#34;family&#34; of social media apps -- which includes Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp -- still serves 3.65 billion people (nearly half the world&#39;s population) every month. They also probably won&#39;t point out that Meta still holds a near-duopoly in the digital advertising market -- with <b>Alphabet</b>&#39;s Google -- across many major markets.</p><p>But overlooking those strengths would be a mistake. Meta has been tweaking its advertising algorithms to deal with Apple&#39;s changes, and it&#39;s been investing heavily in new short video content to counter TikTok. Its nascent metaverse ecosystem, which reached about 300,000 monthly active users earlier this year, could also continue to expand as more mainstream consumers buy VR headsets.</p><p>Analysts expect Meta&#39;s revenue to remain nearly flat this year at $118 billion and for its earnings to decline 25%. But next year, they expect its revenue and earnings to grow 11% and 15%, respectively, as its advertising business stabilizes and it reins in its metaverse-related expenses. If Meta regains its balance, then its stock looks like a screaming bargain right now at 18 times forward earnings.</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>Got $3,000? 3 Top Growth Stocks to Buy That Could Double Your Money</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\">\nGot $3,000? 3 Top Growth Stocks to Buy That Could Double Your Money\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-23 21:18 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/08/21/got-3000-3-top-growth-stocks-to-buy-that-could-dou/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Many growth stocks have fallen out of favor this year as rising interest rates and other macro headwinds have driven investors toward cheaper value plays.

CrowdStrikeMany cybersecurity companies install on-site appliances to run their services. Those appliances take up a lot of space, require regular maintenance, and can be difficult to scale as an organization expands. To address those issues, a new generation of cybersecurity players challenged the industry leaders with subscription-based cloud services that don't require any on-site appliances. CrowdStrike, which went public three years ago, is one of these disruptive newcomers.CrowdStrike's revenue rose 82% in fiscal 2021 -- which ended Jan. 31, 2021 --  and increased 66% to $1.45 billion in fiscal 2022. It anticipates another 51% to 52% revenue growth in the current fiscal year.

stocks are highly sought after as they put cold, hard cash in your bank account and represent a tangible return on your investment.Income investors also rely on such companies to generate a stream of passive income that can sustain their lifestyle during retirement.But if you are looking for added stability during times of uncertainty, it’s a good idea to look for blue-chip stocks that dole out dividends.Blue-chips are so named because they have weathered past downturns successfully and are well-equipped to handle future recessions.Here are five blue-chip names that recently announced their earnings and sports dividend yields exceeding four percent.United Overseas Bank Ltd (SGX: U11)United Overseas Bank Ltd, or UOB, is one of Singapore’s three big local banks.The lender reported an encouraging set of earnings for its fiscal 2022’s first half (1H2022).Its net interest margin improved from 1.56% in 1H2021 to 1.63% in the current half-year due to rising global interest rates.The bank’s loan book also grew 8% year on year to S$322 billion.These improvements helped the bank’s 1H2022 net profit to remain flat year on year at S$2 billion after its first quarter saw a 10% year on year dip.UOB declared an interim dividend of S$0.60 per share.Coupled with last year’s final dividend of S$0.60, the trailing 12-month dividend stood at S$1.20, giving the bank’s shares a trailing dividend yield of 4.3%.Looking ahead, further increases in interest rates bode well for UOB’s net interest income.Keppel Corporation Limited (SGX: BN4)Keppel is a conglomerate with four main divisions – energy and environment, urban development, connectivity, and asset management.1H2022 saw the group report an improved set of financial numbers, with revenue rising 16% year on year to S$3.3 billion.All segments except urban development saw year on year revenue increases.Operating profit soared 71% year on year to S$355 million, while net profit jumped 66% year on year to S$498 million.An interim dividend of S$0.15/share was declared, higher than the S$0.12 paid out last year.The trailing 12-month dividend stood at S$0.36, giving Keppel’s shares a trailing dividend yield of 5.2%.Hongkong Land Holdings Limited (SGX: H78)Hongkong Land Holdings, or HKL, is a property management, development and investment group with more than 850,000 square metres of prime office and luxury

Now What?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2252237196","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Alphabet's stock price is now much smaller, which could make it more appealing to retail investors.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><b>KEY POINTS</b></p><ul><li>Alphabet&#39;s stock split reduced its price per share from $2,235.55 to $111.77 at the start of Monday&#39;s trading.</li><li>The split adds no real value to the company, but it does change the way earnings are calculated.</li><li>Alphabet is an incredibly strong company and is a great value right now.</li></ul><p>Earlier this year, Google parent company <b>Alphabet</b> announced plans to conduct a 20-for-1 stock split. It officially took effect at the market close on Friday, and Monday is the first day of trading with its new, shrunken share price.</p><p>When a company creates a lot of value over the long term, its share price typically generates high returns. In Alphabet&#39;s case, its stock had risen to $2,235.55, which made it a little expensive for investors who were only investing small amounts of money.</p><h2>What Alphabet&#39;s stock split is, and what it isn&#39;t</h2><p>When a stock split occurs, the number of shares in circulation for a given company gets adjusted, which in turn changes its stock price. In Alphabet&#39;s case, its 20-for-1 split means each existing investor will now have 20 shares for each one they previously owned, which has shrunk the price of each share down from $2,235.55 to $111.77. The dollar value of their position stays exactly the same.</p><p>This is a more enticing proposition for smaller investors because they no longer need to fork out thousands of dollars to buy a single share of Alphabet.</p><p>The stock split is entirely cosmetic and has no impact on the intrinsic value of the company, but it does require a small change to the way Alphabet&#39;s earnings per share is calculated. Since there are now 20 times more Alphabet shares in circulation, all of the company&#39;s past earnings per share numbers need to be divided by 20 to accommodate.</p><p>For example, Alphabet has generated $74.5 billion in net income (profit) over the last four quarters, which translated to $110.56 in earnings per share before the split. But now that figure needs to be divided by 20, so it becomes $5.53 in earnings per share. This only relates to Alphabet&#39;s past earnings results; in future reports, the company will make the adjustment.</p><h2>Buy the company, not the stock split</h2><p>Stock splits have captured headlines throughout 2022, not just in relation to Alphabet, but also a handful of other big-tech companies. However, investors should always remember that a company&#39;s fundamentals are the only thing that can create value and drive a stock price higher in the long run.</p><p>Alphabet is one of the most solid tech organizations in the world mainly thanks to Google, its flagship brand. Google has a 91% market share in the internet search industry, which makes it very difficult to disrupt -- and many competitors have tried, including <b>Microsoft</b>, yet that company&#39;s Bing search engine has only mustered a 3% global share.</p><p>Google Search has accounted for 58% of Alphabet&#39;s $270.3 billion in total revenue over the last four quarters, so it&#39;s also the financial engine of the company. But Alphabet has grown to become incredibly diverse, so it receives notable contributions from its other business units, too. The company has a growing hardware segment which produces the Pixel smartphone, the Pixel Buds headphones, and the Nest line of home devices -- to name just a few products.</p><p>Alphabet also owns the world-leading YouTube video platform, which has generated $29.7 billion in ad revenue over the past year and boasts about 2 billion monthly active users. Considering Google bought YouTube for just $1.65 billion in 2006, it&#39;s safe to say the bet has paid off. Its best results might still be ahead as its YouTube Shorts format is proving a worthy competitor to <b>ByteDance</b>&#39;s TikTok, already matching it for users despite launching just two years ago.</p><h2>Alphabet stock is a great value</h2><p>The stock market is having a rough year, but the technology sector is particularly weak. The <b>Nasdaq-100</b> tech index is down 26.5% year to date, which places it firmly in a bear market. As a result, Alphabet stock has lost about 21% from its all-time high -- and that might be a dip worth buying.</p><p>Investors are concerned about high inflation and rising interest rates, which could dampen consumer spending and slow the economy down. Since the bulk of Alphabet&#39;s business relies on advertising revenue, it could feel the pinch if these conditions persist or grow worse. But there might be some good news on the horizon because these pressures are now showing early signs of easing.</p><p>With $5.53 in earnings per share over the last four quarters and a current share price of $111.77, Alphabet trades at a price-to-earnings multiple of 20.2. That&#39;s 18% cheaper than the Nasdaq-100 index, which sits at a multiple of 24.7 right now; given the diversity of Alphabet&#39;s business, that spells opportunity.</p><p>The company has a track record of success and remains a leader in innovation. It&#39;s a great stock to own now and even more so if the economy rebounds, and thanks to the stock split, smaller investors now have a chance to get involved.</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>Alphabet's Stock Split Has Taken Effect.

In Alphabet's case, its stock had risen to $2,235.55, which made it a little expensive for investors who were only investing small amounts of money.What Alphabet's stock split is, and what it isn'tWhen a stock split occurs, the number of shares in circulation for a given company gets adjusted, which in turn changes its stock price. In Alphabet's case, its 20-for-1 split means each existing investor will now have 20 shares for each one they previously owned, which has shrunk the price of each share down from $2,235.55 to $111.77. The dollar value of their position stays exactly the same.This is a more enticing proposition for smaller investors because they no longer need to fork out thousands of dollars to buy a single share of Alphabet.The stock split is entirely cosmetic and has no impact on the intrinsic value of the company, but it does require a small change to the way Alphabet's earnings per share is calculated. Since there are now 20 times more Alphabet shares in circulation, all of the company's past earnings per share numbers need to be divided by 20 to accommodate.For example, Alphabet has generated $74.5 billion in net income (profit) over the last four quarters, which translated to $110.56 in earnings per share before the split. But now that figure needs to be divided by 20, so it becomes $5.53 in earnings per share. This only relates to Alphabet's past earnings results; in future reports, the company will make the adjustment.Buy the company, not the stock splitStock splits have captured headlines throughout 2022, not just in relation to Alphabet, but also a handful of other big-tech companies. However, investors should always remember that a company's fundamentals are the only thing that can create value and drive a stock price higher in the long run.Alphabet is one of the most solid tech organizations in the world mainly thanks to Google, its flagship brand. Google has a 91% market share in the internet search industry, which makes it very difficult to disrupt -- and many competitors have tried, including Microsoft, yet that company's Bing search engine has only mustered a 3% global share.Google Search has accounted for 58% of Alphabet's $270.3 billion in total revenue over the last four quarters, so it's also the financial engine of the company. But Alphabet has grown to become incredibly diverse, so it receives notable contributions from its other business units, too. The company has a growing hardware segment which produces the Pixel smartphone, the Pixel Buds headphones, and the Nest line of home devices -- to name just a few products.Alphabet also owns the world-leading YouTube video platform, which has generated $29.7 billion in ad revenue over the past year and boasts about 2 billion monthly active users. Considering Google bought YouTube for just $1.65 billion in 2006, it's safe to say the bet has paid off. Its best results might still be ahead as its YouTube Shorts format is proving a worthy competitor to ByteDance's TikTok, already matching it for users despite launching just two years ago.Alphabet stock is a great valueThe stock market is having a rough year, but the technology sector is particularly weak. The Nasdaq-100 tech index is down 26.5% year to date, which places it firmly in a bear market. As a result, Alphabet stock has lost about 21% from its all-time high -- and that might be a dip worth buying.Investors are concerned about high inflation and rising interest rates, which could dampen consumer spending and slow the economy down. Since the bulk of Alphabet's business relies on advertising revenue, it could feel the pinch if these conditions persist or grow worse. But there might be some good news on the horizon because these pressures are now showing early signs of easing.With $5.53 in earnings per share over the last four quarters and a current share price of $111.77, Alphabet trades at a price-to-earnings multiple of 20.2. That's 18% cheaper than the Nasdaq-100 index, which sits at a multiple of 24.7 right now; given the diversity of Alphabet's business, that spells opportunity.The company has a track record of success and remains a leader in innovation. It's a great stock to own now and even more so if the economy rebounds, and thanks to the stock split, smaller investors now have a chance to get involved.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":204,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":366949095821464,"gmtCreate":1730595492307,"gmtModify":1730703153612,"author":{"id":"3579343697014515","authorId":"3579343697014515","name":"Benjean","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/22d4af8e6b3c8979779451d0782b9069","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579343697014515","authorIdStr":"3579343697014515"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/S/PLTR\">$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$&nbsp;</a><v-v data-views=\"1\"></v-v> Over times, most stocks goes upwards.

Digital assets continue to trade sideways, and Bitcoin -- the largest crypto -- can&#39;t seem to break out of the $20,000 to $24,000 range.</p><p>With Bitcoin still trading at less than one-third of its all-time high near $69,000, reached in November 2021, optimistic cryptocurrency holders are likely to continue hoping for something that will drive token prices higher. There are at least five trends that investors should be watching, according to Sheena Shah and Kinji Steimetz, analysts at Morgan Stanley.</p><p>One trend, the crypto equivalent of quantitative tightening, is the falling availability of stablecoins like Tether&#39;s USDT and Circle&#39;s USDC, the analysts wrote in a note Friday. Stablecoins stand at the heart of the crypto world, forming the foundations of trading and lending activities, and their availability is a key sign of both liquidity in crypto and demand for leverage, or money borrowed to trade.</p><p>Changes in the market capitalization of stablecoins -- a measure of the amount in circulation since each coin is meant to be worth a dollar -- could be a leading indicator of Bitcoin prices, according to Shah and Steimetz. In June, Tether&#39;s market cap fell 20% in about a month, while Bitcoin fell 45% over the same period to below $30,000.</p><p>&#34;This week marked the first time since April that stablecoin market capitalization has stopped falling on a monthly basis,&#34; the Morgan Stanley analysts said. &#34;This may be a sign that the extreme institutional deleveraging appears to have paused for now.&#34;</p><p>A widespread halt to deleveraging in crypto could signal that the worst of the recent market turmoil is over, paving the way for institutions and other influential traders to turn bullish on Bitcoin again.</p><p>That is why changes in demand for leverage in crypto, similarly indicated by the market cap of stablecoins, is the second trend to keep an eye on. If demand for leverage in crypto rises, prompting people to move dollars into stablecoins, the market caps of stablecoins would likely rise. That could mark a bullish turn because leverage exacerbates prices swings and raises the prospect that gains from solid rallies would be juiced up.</p><p>However, &#34;there doesn&#39;t seem to be huge demand to re-leverage in the crypto world at this moment: decentralised finance (DeFi) platform lending is still down 70% this year,&#34; wrote Shah and Steimetz. &#34;In our opinion, it will be hard for this crypto cycle to bottom without fiat leverage growing or crypto leverage growing.&#34;</p><p>The third trend to watch is stablecoins&#39; market caps relative to one another, specifically swings in the relationship between the amount of issued USDT and USDC, the most influential stablecoins pegged to the U.S. dollar and the third- and fourth-largest digital tokens.</p><p>Typically, the market caps of USDT and USDC move in opposite directions -- i.e. traders seem to generally rotate out of one and into another -- and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a> sees a link between periods when USDC total value is growing and later gains in Bitcoin prices.</p><p>&#34;The general trends in USDC market capitalization growth appear to lead growth of Bitcoin&#39;s price about two months later,&#34; the Morgan Stanley team said, noting that &#34;of course we cannot use this as a trading signal as the historical relationship is volatile, has outliers (Bitcoin rally in June) and not a long history.&#34;</p><p>Nevertheless, it is a compelling flag. Tether&#39;s market cap fell by $9 billion over the course of a week in early May, to $74 billion from $83 billion, while USDC&#39;s market cap jumped to $52 billion from $48 billion over the same period. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> months later -- July -- saw Bitcoin notch its best month all year.</p><p>Now, this trend looks to be reversing course, with USDC&#39;s circulation now down almost $4 billion from its July peak while issuance of USDT has been growing. If the pattern holds, that could be negative for Bitcoin.</p><p>Ultimately, however, the macroeconomic picture is what matters, according to Morgan Stanley. While Bitcoin and its peers should, in theory, be uncorrelated to mainstream finance, they have shown to be largely linked to other risk-sensitive bets, like tech stocks. A lot of the gains for tech stocks, and crypto, in recent years can be put at the feet of loose central-bank policy that has injected liquidity into global markets.</p><p>&#34;Since 2013, Bitcoin&#39;s market capitalization growth has generally tracked the growth of global fiat M2 money supply. When central banks eased and injected liquidity, that liquidity ended up in risk assets, including crypto,&#34; the analysts said. &#34;We expect [Bitcoin&#39;s] correlation with the equity markets to remain high.&#34;</p><p>Expectations of future money supply growth, which is a function of the size of the Federal Reserve&#39;s balance sheet and interest rates, are likely to be the most dominant force on Bitcoin prices, according to Morgan Stanley.</p><p>&#34;Near term crypto markets therefore will place most trading focus on inflation expectations and market pricing for rate hikes,&#34; said Shah and Steimetz.</p><p>The central bank has tightened monetary policy aggressively and raised interest rates as it battles the highest inflation in four decades -- a pathway it isn&#39;t expected to veer from until 2023 at the earliest.

Digital assets continue to trade sideways, and Bitcoin -- the largest crypto -- can't seem to break out of the $20,000 to $24,000 range.With Bitcoin still trading at less than one-third of its all-time high near $69,000, reached in November 2021, optimistic cryptocurrency holders are likely to continue hoping for something that will drive token prices higher. There are at least five trends that investors should be watching, according to Sheena Shah and Kinji Steimetz, analysts at Morgan Stanley.One trend, the crypto equivalent of quantitative tightening, is the falling availability of stablecoins like Tether's USDT and Circle's USDC, the analysts wrote in a note Friday. Stablecoins stand at the heart of the crypto world, forming the foundations of trading and lending activities, and their availability is a key sign of both liquidity in crypto and demand for leverage, or money borrowed to trade.Changes in the market capitalization of stablecoins -- a measure of the amount in circulation since each coin is meant to be worth a dollar -- could be a leading indicator of Bitcoin prices, according to Shah and Steimetz. In June, Tether's market cap fell 20% in about a month, while Bitcoin fell 45% over the same period to below $30,000.\"This week marked the first time since April that stablecoin market capitalization has stopped falling on a monthly basis,\" the Morgan Stanley analysts said. \"This may be a sign that the extreme institutional deleveraging appears to have paused for now.\"A widespread halt to deleveraging in crypto could signal that the worst of the recent market turmoil is over, paving the way for institutions and other influential traders to turn bullish on Bitcoin again.That is why changes in demand for leverage in crypto, similarly indicated by the market cap of stablecoins, is the second trend to keep an eye on. If demand for leverage in crypto rises, prompting people to move dollars into stablecoins, the market caps of stablecoins would likely rise. That could mark a bullish turn because leverage exacerbates prices swings and raises the prospect that gains from solid rallies would be juiced up.However, \"there doesn't seem to be huge demand to re-leverage in the crypto world at this moment: decentralised finance (DeFi) platform lending is still down 70% this year,\" wrote Shah and Steimetz. \"In our opinion, it will be hard for this crypto cycle to bottom without fiat leverage growing or crypto leverage growing.\"The third trend to watch is stablecoins' market caps relative to one another, specifically swings in the relationship between the amount of issued USDT and USDC, the most influential stablecoins pegged to the U.S. dollar and the third- and fourth-largest digital tokens.Typically, the market caps of USDT and USDC move in opposite directions -- i.e. traders seem to generally rotate out of one and into another -- and Morgan Stanley sees a link between periods when USDC total value is growing and later gains in Bitcoin prices.\"The general trends in USDC market capitalization growth appear to lead growth of Bitcoin's price about two months later,\" the Morgan Stanley team said, noting that \"of course we cannot use this as a trading signal as the historical relationship is volatile, has outliers (Bitcoin rally in June) and not a long history.\"Nevertheless, it is a compelling flag. Tether's market cap fell by $9 billion over the course of a week in early May, to $74 billion from $83 billion, while USDC's market cap jumped to $52 billion from $48 billion over the same period. Two months later -- July -- saw Bitcoin notch its best month all year.Now, this trend looks to be reversing course, with USDC's circulation now down almost $4 billion from its July peak while issuance of USDT has been growing. If the pattern holds, that could be negative for Bitcoin.Ultimately, however, the macroeconomic picture is what matters, according to Morgan Stanley. While Bitcoin and its peers should, in theory, be uncorrelated to mainstream finance, they have shown to be largely linked to other risk-sensitive bets, like tech stocks. A lot of the gains for tech stocks, and crypto, in recent years can be put at the feet of loose central-bank policy that has injected liquidity into global markets.\"Since 2013, Bitcoin's market capitalization growth has generally tracked the growth of global fiat M2 money supply. When central banks eased and injected liquidity, that liquidity ended up in risk assets, including crypto,\" the analysts said. \"We expect [Bitcoin's] correlation with the equity markets to remain high.\"Expectations of future money supply growth, which is a function of the size of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet and interest rates, are likely to be the most dominant force on Bitcoin prices, according to Morgan Stanley.\"Near term crypto markets therefore will place most trading focus on inflation expectations and market pricing for rate hikes,\" said Shah and Steimetz.The central bank has tightened monetary policy aggressively and raised interest rates as it battles the highest inflation in four decades -- a pathway it isn't expected to veer from until 2023 at the earliest. That is why inflation and the Fed's monetary policy plans are the fourth and fifth factors investors should watch for Bitcoin's next move.The coming days could bring more clarity for the market.The Fed's preferred measure of inflation is due Friday in the form of July's core personal-consumption expenditures index. Also on Friday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell is due to speak at the Jackson Hole economic conference, which is likely to be key for clarifying investors' expectations around Fed policy.These events will no doubt be one of the most important short-term catalysts for crypto in the week ahead, to say nothing of expectations for inflation and rates in the months to come. Just as in stocks, crypto investors can't fight the Fed.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":213,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9040842035,"gmtCreate":1655647415427,"gmtModify":1676535677465,"author":{"id":"3579343697014515","authorId":"3579343697014515","name":"Benjean","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/22d4af8e6b3c8979779451d0782b9069","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579343697014515","authorIdStr":"3579343697014515"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy Buy buy","listText":"Buy Buy buy","text":"Buy Buy buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9040842035","repostId":"2244517881","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2244517881","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1655602027,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2244517881?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-19 09:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alibaba Is Now Popular Among Bargain Hunters","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2244517881","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"By Reshma KapadiaWhen discussions turn to China, one question that always pops up from U.S. investor","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>By Reshma Kapadia</p><p>When discussions turn to China, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> question that always pops up from U.S. investors: Is it safe yet to buy Alibaba Group Holding, the e-commerce juggernaut that has been battered over the past two years amid the country&#39;s crackdown on technology?</p><p>Alibaba&#39;s stock (ticker: BABA) fell 74% from its peak in fall 2020 at $317, to its low in March, and shares are still down 10% this year.

China's economic data could begin to improve after the hit it took during Covid-related lockdowns in Shanghai and Beijing, and policy makers are adding stimulus -- a marked contrast to what is happening in the U.S.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":133,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9029058966,"gmtCreate":1652707193755,"gmtModify":1676535145383,"author":{"id":"3579343697014515","authorId":"3579343697014515","name":"Benjean","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/22d4af8e6b3c8979779451d0782b9069","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579343697014515","authorIdStr":"3579343697014515"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Opportunity to buy","listText":"Opportunity to buy","text":"Opportunity to buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9029058966","repostId":"2235835962","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2235835962","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1652706172,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2235835962?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-16 21:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Cheap Growth Stocks Near Their 52-Week Lows to Buy and Forget","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2235835962","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Buying these stocks on the dip could result in big returns for investors.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The <b>S&amp;P 500</b> is off to a horrible start in 2022, falling more than 16% just over four months into the year.

A couple of growth stocks that are trading near their 52-week lows and can be tempting options to just buy and forget about include <b>Seagen</b> and <b>Alphabet</b>.</p><h2>1. Seagen</h2><p>Shares of healthcare company Seagen have fallen more than 20% since the start of the year. Although that&#39;s not disastrous, given how badly the markets have been performing, it&#39;s been enough of a drop to push Seagen down to a new 52-week low recently.</p><p>The good news is that Seagen&#39;s business isn&#39;t in bad shape. On the contrary, it can be an attractive pickup for long-term investors. It has some promising cancer medications in its portfolio, including Adcetris, which treats Hodgkin&#39;s lymphoma. Seagen anticipates that Adcetris will bring in up to $755 million in revenue this year, accounting for nearly half of the company&#39;s total product revenue.</p><p>But Seagen&#39;s business is broader than just <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> drug, with bladder cancer drug Padcev and breast cancer medicine Tukysa projected to bring in up to $455 million and $335 million this year, respectively. Cervical cancer drug Tivdak is new, with the Food and Drug Administration approving it in September. And it could end up being a blockbuster, generating more than $1 billion in annual revenue for Seagen down the road; the company hasn&#39;t forecasted its contribution to the top line this year, but through the first three months of 2022, it generated over $11 million in sales.</p><p>Overall, Seagen forecasts that net product sales could top more than $1.5 billion and increase by 12% this year. While that isn&#39;t an astronomical growth rate, the company has trials ongoing to expand the indications for its existing products and potentially lead to more growth opportunities in the future. In total, management says that it has more than 17 pipeline programs that it is advancing in 2022.</p><p>Another positive for long-term investors is that while Seagen remains unprofitable today, the company&#39;s business is well funded. As of the end of March, the company had more than $1.9 billion in cash and short-term investments on its books. Last year, the company burned through $500 million in cash over the course of its day-to-day operating activities.</p><p>And so as long as Seagen&#39;s cash burn doesn&#39;t significantly worsen this year (and there&#39;s no reason to expect that it will), the business doesn&#39;t need to depend on frequent share offerings (i.e., dilution) to fund its growth. That can make the stock a relatively safe growth investment to hang on to for the long haul, and one that investors won&#39;t have to worry about.</p><h2>2. Alphabet</h2><p>Alphabet&#39;s stock has been nosediving this year, and the release of its latest earnings report last month didn&#39;t help matters either. The tech company&#39;s first-quarter performance fell short of analyst expectations, with both the top and bottom lines showing some weakness. In particular, advertising from YouTube was soft, with ad sales from the video platform coming in at $6.87 billion for the first three months of the year versus Wall Street estimates of $7.51 billion.</p><p>However, there&#39;s still plenty of growth ahead for the business. According to Technavio, online ad spending is projected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of just under 11% until 2026. And in what researchers call a fragmented market, where few players (including Alphabet) dominate, the company stands to benefit from a lot of that long-term growth. An underwhelming performance in Alphabet&#39;s most recent quarterly earnings doesn&#39;t change the long-term trajectory of its business, which remains strong.</p><p>With shares of Alphabet down 20% so far this year, now could be an optimal time to buy the stock. Its price-to-earnings ratio of 21 looks like a steal for a business that is still growing revenue at a rate of 23%. Over the past couple of years, it hasn&#39;t been uncommon to see the stock trade at more than 30 times its trailing profits.</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>2 Cheap Growth Stocks Near Their 52-Week Lows to Buy and Forget</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\">\n2 Cheap Growth Stocks Near Their 52-Week Lows to Buy and Forget\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-05-16 21:02 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/05/16/2-cheap-growth-stocks-near-their-52-week-lows-to-b/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The S&P 500 is off to a horrible start in 2022, falling more than 16% just over four months into the year.

I think Apple is dead money at best for the foreseeable future.</li><li>I am not currently invested in the stock, but if I were, I would at least consider selling it, assuming I held it in a tax-deferred or tax-exempt account.</li></ul><h3>Introduction And Investment Thesis</h3><p>Last week, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple</a> surprised on the upside in an otherwise very bad week for tech investors. Alphabet (GOOG,GOOGL), Meta Platforms (META) andAmazon (AMZN) all disappointed Wall Street, while the tech giant best known for its iPhone franchisereportedsolid earnings and quarterly revenue of $90.1 billion, slightly beating analyst estimates and up 8.1% year-over-year. iPhone and Mac sales were up 9.7% and 25.4% in a high-inflation environment, respectively, suggesting that Apple is indeed one of the companies with real pricing power. On a year-over-year annual basis, Apple also shined where others looked lackluster. Total fiscal 2022 net sales were up 7.8%, thanks largely to strong growth in iPhone (+7.0%), Mac (+14.2%) and services (+14.2%). From this perspective, Wall Street&#39;s positive reaction hardly seems surprising.</p><p>I have had Apple on my watch list for quite some time, and I continue to be amazed how the stock has largely defied the bear market of 2022. The main pillars of my investment thesis in Apple are:</p><ul><li>Apple seems to have an unending ability to design and manufacture hardware and software that is not only functional, but also highly intuitive, elegant and very appealing. Even though they are mass products, Apple&#39;s gadgets enjoy the ranks of status symbols.</li></ul><ul><li>Recognizing that selling hardware does not scale well, the company has created a deep ecosystem through its app store and the many experiences and productivity enhancements it offers. In this way, Apple retains consumers and ensures high switching costs in an industry otherwise characterized by high competition.</li></ul><ul><li>Where others have managed to develop either standout smartphone technology (e.g., Samsung&#39;s Galaxy series) or a smartphone operating system (Google&#39;s Android), Apple has been able to take advantage of the synergies of top-quality hardware and software offerings.</li></ul><ul><li>The company&#39;s balance sheet is absolutely solid and will benefit in a rising interest rate environment, as it has $145.5 billion in marketable securities (mostly long-term) - not counting the $23.6 billion in cash and cash equivalents - and only $120.0 billion in debt.</li></ul><p>It is easy to like Apple as an investment. However, when I find nothing but positive things about an investment, it usually gives me pause. As a dyed-in-the-wool value investor, I am very careful not to overpay for my investments, especially when a company is firing on all cylinders - there is a thin line between a value trap and a world-class company that is simply too expensive. In this article, I will discuss Apple&#39;s normalized free cash flow, my expectations for future growth and my thoughts on what could limit the growth story. I will value Apple from a discounted cash flow basis, making sense of what the market has currently priced into the stock. In closing, I present my rationale for refraining from buying Apple at this time.</p><p>Apple Is Rightly Touted As A Major Cash Flow Machine</p><p>When it comes to the question of why Apple stock should command a premium valuation, many investors point to the company&#39;s strong cash flow. I do not disagree, and in fact, Apple&#39;s cash flow is one reason I would like to own shares in the company.</p><p>My regular readers know that I rely only on normalized free cash flow (nFCF), which means I adjust conventional FCF for working capital movements, stock-based compensation expenses, non-cash impairment and restructuring charges (if routinely observed), and acquisitions (if the company relies on growth through acquisitions). Those interested in the approach can take a look at my detailededucational articlepublished last month.</p><p>Acquisitions, impairments and restructuring charges are very rarely seen at Apple. This is due to the company&#39;s conservative and disciplined approach to acquisitions, which deserves praise at a time when other companies are squandering cash left and right in sometimes desperate attempts to diversify into new growth areas. However, as with many tech companies (see myarticleon this topic), stock-based compensations (SBCs) are significant and trending upward. This is due, in part, to the way stock-based compensation is accounted for and it should be kept in mind that adjusting free cash flow for SBCs is a relatively conservative measure. Figure 1 shows Apple&#39;s stock-based compensation since fiscal 2012 as a percentage of operating cash flow (OCF) normalized for working capital movements. Even though significant, this form of employee compensation is relatively modest at Apple, averaging 8% of normalized OCF since fiscal 2016, compared to Alphabet, for example (see myrecent article).</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/634624a2a799950e29c025c2e979a431\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 1: Apple’s stock-based compensation expenses (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2011 to 2022 10-Ks.</p><p>Apple’s normalized free cash flow, as I use it for my assessment of the company’s future cash flow potential, is shown in Figure 2. Clearly, the pandemic acted as a huge tailwind for the company, as is underlined by nFCF growth rates of +23%, +43% and 13% in fiscal 2020, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022. Apple’s cash-generating power is underlined further when comparing these growth figures to the company’s sales growth numbers for the same periods: +6%, +33% and +8%.</p><p>Companies that report unbelievably strong earnings are potentially suspect of managing their results, and therefore it seems reasonable to assess the quality of Apple’s cash flow. Excess Cash Margin (ECM) is a measure of the relative growth rates of operating income and OCF and enables the detection of potential earnings problems or accounting shenanigans. In the case of Apple, the ECM moved in a reasonably narrow window of -2.4% and +2.0% in the last ten fiscal years and without a notable up- or downward trend. An upward trend in ECM would signal that earnings are growing slower (or declining faster) than OCF, while a downward trend indicates that earnings are either growing faster or declining slower than OCF.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/018899362ea317f0a826fd5072e9f3c0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"385\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 2: Apple’s normalized free cash flow – conventionally obtained FCF is on average 10% higher, largely due to stock-based compensations (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2010 to 2022 10-Ks.</p><h3>Reasons For Apple&#39;s Outstanding Free Cash Flow Growth - And Why It May Not Be Sustainable</h3><p>Apple&#39;s free cash flow growth since the pandemic has been spectacular. So, the really important question is: Where did the growth come from, and can it continue? Because ultimately, the share price is only an unromantic reflection of a company&#39;s future cash flows, discounted to today at an appropriate rate.</p><h3>Strong Brand Stickiness, Pricing Power - But Discretionary Products After All</h3><p>As already mentioned, the pandemic acted as a tremendous tailwind for Apple. During these difficult times, consumers learned to love Apple&#39;s software ecosystem even more, as well as the large number of accessories that only reach their full potential in combination with an Apple iPhone, iPod or Mac computer. Thanks to the increasingly strong lock-in effect and the seemingly unending desire to own these very elegant and highly intuitive pieces of hardware, Apple is able to exert pricing power on consumers even in times of high inflation. However, it is important to remember that an iPhone or Mac computer is ultimately largely a discretionary product, and the purchase of the next iteration can be postponed in the event of an economic downturn. As will be shown later, a recession is likely not currently priced into Apple stock.</p><h3>Geographical Concentration Risks</h3><p>Investors should note that Apple generated nearly a quarter of its fiscal 2022 sales in Europe, and it seems reasonable to expect that the eurozone, unlike the United States, will have a much harder time overcoming high inflation rates, in part due to the substantial debt of southern European countries, which would likely become insolvent if interest rates were raised at a pace similar to that in the United States. Of course, however, keeping inflation in control by raising interest rates is an incomplete line of thinking.</p><p>Nevertheless, the difficult situation of the European Central Bank and its increasing emphasis on approaches reminiscent of a planned economy (e.g.,Green Dealand the resultingTaxonomy Regulation) are preparing the bloc for continued high inflation rates and thus lower disposable incomes.</p><p>A deep recession in Europe is also likely to impact Apple&#39;s supply chain, as the company relies on several hundred suppliers in Germany (767 in 2018 according toHandelsblatt).</p><p>Of course, Apple&#39;s global position also makes it vulnerable to foreign exchange rate headwinds, as the company ultimately reports its earnings in U.S. dollars. However, I believe this is a well-known aspect that applies to all truly global companies. There is only so much a company can do to hedge against exchange rate fluctuations, and I consider this a simple cost of doing business when operating on a global scale.</p><h3>Sustainability Of App Store Margins</h3><p>Software developers have noticed the seemingly unstoppable growth of Apple&#39;s installed base, which probably recently passed the2 billion mark. Apple&#39;s growth keeps developers motivated to continue to create new apps for iOS, which has the added advantage of very limited device configurations compared to the numerous devices running Android. I expect Apple to benefit from this for the foreseeable future, as long as the company does not make any glaring hardware design mistakes and stays true to its intuitive software architecture. However, it should not be forgotten that Apple faces challenges related to its somewhat aggressive monopolistic behavior in connection with its app store. It therefore seems prudent to keep an eye on Apple&#39;s subscription-based sales. I view it as largely positive that Apple&#39;s (high-margin) service revenue has increased from 11% of total revenue in fiscal 2016 to nearly 20% in fiscal 2022. However, improved app developer compensation and increased regulatory scrutiny could deal a blow to this important segment, thereby impacting free cash flow.</p><p>Working Capital Management</p><p>Another aspect to consider is working capital management. Cash is king, and companies with pricing power benefit enormously by being able to enforce their payment terms on both their suppliers and their customers. In addition, global giants like Apple benefit significantly from highly efficient inventory management. Less cash tied up in working capital accounts (receivables, inventories) leads to higher free cash flow. By minimizing the time to collect payments from customers and maximizing the time to pay suppliers, a company can benefit significantly from cheap (or free) credit. This is in particular important in a rising interest rate environment. A - highly desirable - negative cash conversion cycle (CCC) results when a company can collect and retain payments from customers for a certain time, that actually belong to suppliers (e.g., app developers).</p><p>Apple is a shining example in this regard and has kept its inventory days and days sales outstanding (DSO) very tight while expanding its days payables outstanding (DPO) quite significantly between fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2019 (Figure 3). However, presumably due to ongoing supply chain issues and the relocation of certain suppliers, DPO declined in recent years, resulting in a weakening but still excellent cash conversion cycle (CCC) of -62 days in fiscal 2022.</p><p>Improved conditions for app developers, as hypothesized above, could also put pressure on Apple&#39;s working capital management, thereby impacting free cash flow. Conversely, supply chain issues will eventually be resolved, improving the working capital management of Apple&#39;s hardware segment.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cd5c74594b446fea946163da22c51878\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 3: Apple’s days sales and payables outstanding, inventory days and cash conversion cycle (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2012 to 2022 10-Ks.</p><h3>Possible Signs Of Underinvestment And The Course Toward Mean Reversion</h3><p>It is also worth noting Apple&#39;s capital expenditures, which typically range from $9 billion to $13 billion per year. Relatively speaking, capital expenditures have been on a downward trend since fiscal 2016, as shown in Figure 4. While some might argue that Apple is underinvesting, I would not overstate this aspect at this point in time (see below). While capital expenditures as a percentage of OCF continue to decline, it should be remembered that this is largely due to strong OCF growth and only to a small extent a result of lower actual investment in the business.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/02df2459453a284cd343b9f1bb690fe5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 4: Apple’s capital expenditures as a percentage of normalized operating cash flow (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2011 to 2022 10-Ks.</p><p>Apple&#39;s key long-term free cash flow growth driver is innovation. Apple has innovated in both hardware and software, for example by introducing its ownprocessorsin its iPhones and Mac computers, a smart watch (Apple Watch), and its own payment service (Apple Pay). However, Apple has not introduced any groundbreaking new devices like theiPhoneor the iPod in a long time. I do believe that at some point, the users so accustomed to innovations will be saturated as it becomes increasingly difficult to pack truly groundbreaking new features into the devices currently available.</p><p>At some point, Apple will have to come up with a new technological gadget - whether it is some sort of wearable, self-driving car, or technologically integrated piece of furniture. I am sure Apple will come up with something at some point, but it is also true that the race to find the next hot innovation is extremely competitive and capital-intensive, especially as it relates to autonomous driving. From this perspective, it does not seem unrealistic to assume that Apple will have to invest more and more cash flow into the business at a percentage equal to or above the historical average, as shown in Figure 4.</p><h3>What Is Currently Priced Into AAPL Stock?</h3><p>Several aspects underlying Apple&#39;s excellent free cash flow growth have been discussed, as well as potentially limiting factors. With the release of the fiscal2022 10-Ka few days ago, we now have a clear view of Apple&#39;s recent cash flows, which provide a basis for valuing the stock.</p><p>First, let me share my FAST Graphs-inspired chart in Figure 5, which shows Apple&#39;s nFCF per share versus split-adjusted price per share. Clearly, Apple&#39;s stock price and free cash flow decoupled sometime in 2020, when investors began pricing huge growth rates into the stock. While it is entirely possible that Apple will continue to be able to grow its free cash flow at a high rate going forward, I simply believe that the likelihood of FCF remaining stagnant for at least a couple of years is relatively high for the reasons outlined above. Apple stock could be dead money for the foreseeable future, or worse, it could move closer to its long-term FCF trend, suggesting ample downside and a current fair value in the $100 region.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f7d675df943d6075843ba251551a1796\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 5: Apple’s normalized free cash flow per share compared to its split-adjusted share price; note that nFCFs have been aligned with fiscal year ends in late September (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2022 10-Ks and the daily closing stock price of AAPL)</p><p>Next, I evaluated Apple stock from a discounted cash flow (DCF) perspective - after all, a company is only worth the sum of its future cash flows, discounted to today at an appropriate rate. For Apple, I believe a cost of equity of 9.5% is appropriate, taking into account current long-term government bond rates and a 5% equity risk premium. For the DCF analysis below, I have used Apple&#39;s average nFCF for fiscal years 2021 to 2022 as the baseline cash flow, which may even be a somewhat optimistic assumption given the threat of a recession.</p><p>Long-term visibility of revenue (and thus cash flow) is very difficult, which is also underscored by analyst estimates. More than 20 analystscoverApple on a two-year basis, expecting year-over-year revenue growth rates of 3.3% and 5.2% for fiscal years 2023 and 2024, respectively. After that, the number of analysts drops to 9. From fiscal 2026 to fiscal 2027, only 2 analysts cover Apple, and for the later years, there is only one analyst - a particularly optimistic one - who expects year-over-year sales growth rates of 18%, 9%, 9%, 10%, and 10% between fiscal 2028 and 2032. I am not in a position to provide plausible long-term estimates, but I consider anything higher than 5% p.a. over the next five years to be unduly optimistic for the reasons outlined above. Therefore, in the illustration of the DCF model in Figure 6, I have used a growth rate of 5% for the next five years, 4% for the subsequent five years, and a terminal growth rate of 3%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/717fa79d412f6b54795b36161c6ec657\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 6: Cash flows underlying Apple&#39;s discounted cash flow analysis; terminal value not shown (own work)</p><p>Summing the discounted cash flows and dividing the result by the current number of weighted average diluted shares outstanding yields a fair value of about $100, which is well in line with the backward-looking valuation in Figure 6.</p><p>Put differently, to justify the current price of $150 per share, Apple would need to grow its free cash flow at a rate of 10% per year over the next five years (is this a realistic assumption in the context of a likely economic downturn?), followed by a growth rate of a similarly high 8% p.a. until year 10, and a terminal growth rate of 5%.</p><p>Personally, I find it difficult to see such growth rates as realistic for the reasons mentioned above. In order to achieve such rates, Apple will likely be forced to diversify into other business areas, which is associated with considerable uncertainties, as its current business model will simply lack the addressable market at some point due to size.</p><p>However, some may object that both valuation approaches are based on free cash flow and therefore represent an isolated approach. This is true, and conventional multiples-based approaches can also provide a good view on a company&#39;s valuation. Figure 7 compares ten-year averages of earnings- and revenue-based multiples with current values. It is evident that Apple is significantly overvalued on every metric, including its dividend yield (currently 0.6% versus a five-year average of 1.4%). Finally, it should also be remembered that these valuations are the product of what is likely the strongest bull market in recent history, giving cautious investors pause for thought. Morningstar currentlyratesApple at two stars and believes the stock is 15% overvalued. It is worth noting that the investor services firm views Apple as a company with only a narrow economic moat.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e3a0cff58027ed2abd92ab04313f85e4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"384\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Figure 7: Historical valuation of Apple stock, note that the price-earnings-growth ratio (PEG) has scaled by a factor of 10 for the sake of visibility (own work)</p><h3>Concluding Remarks</h3><p>There is no question about it - Apple is a world-class company with a deeply rooted ecosystem, an ever-growing, religious-like following, and very strong management. The company is one of the few with real pricing power. However, with all the justified optimism, Apple markets largely discretionary products.</p><p>Investors expect Apple to continue to be able to grow free cash flow by double digit, or at least high single digit rates, for the foreseeable future. However, the growth story has its limits. Apple will likely reach its limits at some point because the addressable market is saturated, so it will need to pursue other growth opportunities. Exploring new opportunities comes with execution risks and requires significant capital expenditures, which have been steadily declining since fiscal 2016 in relative terms. Moreover, Apple is already an extremely well-managed company that will struggle to increase free cash flow through improvements in working capital management - an often-overlooked growth driver of several less well-managed companies.</p><p>As I have shown, Apple is significantly overvalued assuming more down-to-earth growth expectations. The market has been merciless on other tech stocks such as Amazon, Meta Platforms and Alphabet. So it is only reasonable to assume that Apple stock will also take a serious beating should the company fall short of expectations in any of the coming quarters. For example, what if the all-important holiday shopping season turns out slower than expected, capital expenditures rise significantly, or Europe faces a deep recession?</p><p>If I owned the stock, I would at least toy with the idea of selling it, as it is obviously overvalued. This can easily be seen in the decoupling of the share price from free cash flow since 2020 and the decoupling from the overall market in 2022. Of course, this assumes that taxes do not need to be factored into the equation.</p><p>Of course, none of these changes the fact that Apple is an extremely well-run company with a deeply entrenched ecosystem and an almost religious following. Therefore, I continue to keep the stock on my bear market watch list and patiently wait for the market to come back to its senses.</p></body></html>","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>Apple's Resilience Is Unjustified - Here Is Why</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\">\nApple's Resilience Is Unjustified - Here Is Why\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-11-03 23:16 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4552001-apples-resilience-is-unjustified-here-is-why><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryApple stock has held up surprisingly well in 2022 compared to a very weak broader market, largely due to the company's continued strong earnings reports.I'll highlight the reasons for Apple's ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4552001-apples-resilience-is-unjustified-here-is-why\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4552001-apples-resilience-is-unjustified-here-is-why","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1149171162","content_text":"SummaryApple stock has held up surprisingly well in 2022 compared to a very weak broader market, largely due to the company's continued strong earnings reports.I'll highlight the reasons for Apple's strong cash flow growth and potential areas for future growth, and take a look at working capital management, stock-based compensation, and the multi-faceted ecosystem.However, I will also point out the limitations of the growth story, which is the mainstay of the current valuation.The current share price implies growth rates that are difficult to achieve even in a thriving economy. I think Apple is dead money at best for the foreseeable future.I am not currently invested in the stock, but if I were, I would at least consider selling it, assuming I held it in a tax-deferred or tax-exempt account.Introduction And Investment ThesisLast week, Apple surprised on the upside in an otherwise very bad week for tech investors. Alphabet (GOOG,GOOGL), Meta Platforms (META) andAmazon (AMZN) all disappointed Wall Street, while the tech giant best known for its iPhone franchisereportedsolid earnings and quarterly revenue of $90.1 billion, slightly beating analyst estimates and up 8.1% year-over-year. iPhone and Mac sales were up 9.7% and 25.4% in a high-inflation environment, respectively, suggesting that Apple is indeed one of the companies with real pricing power. On a year-over-year annual basis, Apple also shined where others looked lackluster. Total fiscal 2022 net sales were up 7.8%, thanks largely to strong growth in iPhone (+7.0%), Mac (+14.2%) and services (+14.2%). From this perspective, Wall Street's positive reaction hardly seems surprising.I have had Apple on my watch list for quite some time, and I continue to be amazed how the stock has largely defied the bear market of 2022. The main pillars of my investment thesis in Apple are:Apple seems to have an unending ability to design and manufacture hardware and software that is not only functional, but also highly intuitive, elegant and very appealing. Even though they are mass products, Apple's gadgets enjoy the ranks of status symbols.Recognizing that selling hardware does not scale well, the company has created a deep ecosystem through its app store and the many experiences and productivity enhancements it offers. In this way, Apple retains consumers and ensures high switching costs in an industry otherwise characterized by high competition.Where others have managed to develop either standout smartphone technology (e.g., Samsung's Galaxy series) or a smartphone operating system (Google's Android), Apple has been able to take advantage of the synergies of top-quality hardware and software offerings.The company's balance sheet is absolutely solid and will benefit in a rising interest rate environment, as it has $145.5 billion in marketable securities (mostly long-term) - not counting the $23.6 billion in cash and cash equivalents - and only $120.0 billion in debt.It is easy to like Apple as an investment. However, when I find nothing but positive things about an investment, it usually gives me pause. As a dyed-in-the-wool value investor, I am very careful not to overpay for my investments, especially when a company is firing on all cylinders - there is a thin line between a value trap and a world-class company that is simply too expensive. In this article, I will discuss Apple's normalized free cash flow, my expectations for future growth and my thoughts on what could limit the growth story. I will value Apple from a discounted cash flow basis, making sense of what the market has currently priced into the stock. In closing, I present my rationale for refraining from buying Apple at this time.Apple Is Rightly Touted As A Major Cash Flow MachineWhen it comes to the question of why Apple stock should command a premium valuation, many investors point to the company's strong cash flow. I do not disagree, and in fact, Apple's cash flow is one reason I would like to own shares in the company.My regular readers know that I rely only on normalized free cash flow (nFCF), which means I adjust conventional FCF for working capital movements, stock-based compensation expenses, non-cash impairment and restructuring charges (if routinely observed), and acquisitions (if the company relies on growth through acquisitions). Those interested in the approach can take a look at my detailededucational articlepublished last month.Acquisitions, impairments and restructuring charges are very rarely seen at Apple. This is due to the company's conservative and disciplined approach to acquisitions, which deserves praise at a time when other companies are squandering cash left and right in sometimes desperate attempts to diversify into new growth areas. However, as with many tech companies (see myarticleon this topic), stock-based compensations (SBCs) are significant and trending upward. This is due, in part, to the way stock-based compensation is accounted for and it should be kept in mind that adjusting free cash flow for SBCs is a relatively conservative measure. Figure 1 shows Apple's stock-based compensation since fiscal 2012 as a percentage of operating cash flow (OCF) normalized for working capital movements. Even though significant, this form of employee compensation is relatively modest at Apple, averaging 8% of normalized OCF since fiscal 2016, compared to Alphabet, for example (see myrecent article).Figure 1: Apple’s stock-based compensation expenses (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2011 to 2022 10-Ks.Apple’s normalized free cash flow, as I use it for my assessment of the company’s future cash flow potential, is shown in Figure 2. Clearly, the pandemic acted as a huge tailwind for the company, as is underlined by nFCF growth rates of +23%, +43% and 13% in fiscal 2020, fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022. Apple’s cash-generating power is underlined further when comparing these growth figures to the company’s sales growth numbers for the same periods: +6%, +33% and +8%.Companies that report unbelievably strong earnings are potentially suspect of managing their results, and therefore it seems reasonable to assess the quality of Apple’s cash flow. Excess Cash Margin (ECM) is a measure of the relative growth rates of operating income and OCF and enables the detection of potential earnings problems or accounting shenanigans. In the case of Apple, the ECM moved in a reasonably narrow window of -2.4% and +2.0% in the last ten fiscal years and without a notable up- or downward trend. An upward trend in ECM would signal that earnings are growing slower (or declining faster) than OCF, while a downward trend indicates that earnings are either growing faster or declining slower than OCF.Figure 2: Apple’s normalized free cash flow – conventionally obtained FCF is on average 10% higher, largely due to stock-based compensations (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2010 to 2022 10-Ks.Reasons For Apple's Outstanding Free Cash Flow Growth - And Why It May Not Be SustainableApple's free cash flow growth since the pandemic has been spectacular. So, the really important question is: Where did the growth come from, and can it continue? Because ultimately, the share price is only an unromantic reflection of a company's future cash flows, discounted to today at an appropriate rate.Strong Brand Stickiness, Pricing Power - But Discretionary Products After AllAs already mentioned, the pandemic acted as a tremendous tailwind for Apple. During these difficult times, consumers learned to love Apple's software ecosystem even more, as well as the large number of accessories that only reach their full potential in combination with an Apple iPhone, iPod or Mac computer. Thanks to the increasingly strong lock-in effect and the seemingly unending desire to own these very elegant and highly intuitive pieces of hardware, Apple is able to exert pricing power on consumers even in times of high inflation. However, it is important to remember that an iPhone or Mac computer is ultimately largely a discretionary product, and the purchase of the next iteration can be postponed in the event of an economic downturn. As will be shown later, a recession is likely not currently priced into Apple stock.Geographical Concentration RisksInvestors should note that Apple generated nearly a quarter of its fiscal 2022 sales in Europe, and it seems reasonable to expect that the eurozone, unlike the United States, will have a much harder time overcoming high inflation rates, in part due to the substantial debt of southern European countries, which would likely become insolvent if interest rates were raised at a pace similar to that in the United States. Of course, however, keeping inflation in control by raising interest rates is an incomplete line of thinking.Nevertheless, the difficult situation of the European Central Bank and its increasing emphasis on approaches reminiscent of a planned economy (e.g.,Green Dealand the resultingTaxonomy Regulation) are preparing the bloc for continued high inflation rates and thus lower disposable incomes.A deep recession in Europe is also likely to impact Apple's supply chain, as the company relies on several hundred suppliers in Germany (767 in 2018 according toHandelsblatt).Of course, Apple's global position also makes it vulnerable to foreign exchange rate headwinds, as the company ultimately reports its earnings in U.S. dollars. However, I believe this is a well-known aspect that applies to all truly global companies. There is only so much a company can do to hedge against exchange rate fluctuations, and I consider this a simple cost of doing business when operating on a global scale.Sustainability Of App Store MarginsSoftware developers have noticed the seemingly unstoppable growth of Apple's installed base, which probably recently passed the2 billion mark. Apple's growth keeps developers motivated to continue to create new apps for iOS, which has the added advantage of very limited device configurations compared to the numerous devices running Android. I expect Apple to benefit from this for the foreseeable future, as long as the company does not make any glaring hardware design mistakes and stays true to its intuitive software architecture. However, it should not be forgotten that Apple faces challenges related to its somewhat aggressive monopolistic behavior in connection with its app store. It therefore seems prudent to keep an eye on Apple's subscription-based sales. I view it as largely positive that Apple's (high-margin) service revenue has increased from 11% of total revenue in fiscal 2016 to nearly 20% in fiscal 2022. However, improved app developer compensation and increased regulatory scrutiny could deal a blow to this important segment, thereby impacting free cash flow.Working Capital ManagementAnother aspect to consider is working capital management. Cash is king, and companies with pricing power benefit enormously by being able to enforce their payment terms on both their suppliers and their customers. In addition, global giants like Apple benefit significantly from highly efficient inventory management. Less cash tied up in working capital accounts (receivables, inventories) leads to higher free cash flow. By minimizing the time to collect payments from customers and maximizing the time to pay suppliers, a company can benefit significantly from cheap (or free) credit. This is in particular important in a rising interest rate environment. A - highly desirable - negative cash conversion cycle (CCC) results when a company can collect and retain payments from customers for a certain time, that actually belong to suppliers (e.g., app developers).Apple is a shining example in this regard and has kept its inventory days and days sales outstanding (DSO) very tight while expanding its days payables outstanding (DPO) quite significantly between fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2019 (Figure 3). However, presumably due to ongoing supply chain issues and the relocation of certain suppliers, DPO declined in recent years, resulting in a weakening but still excellent cash conversion cycle (CCC) of -62 days in fiscal 2022.Improved conditions for app developers, as hypothesized above, could also put pressure on Apple's working capital management, thereby impacting free cash flow. Conversely, supply chain issues will eventually be resolved, improving the working capital management of Apple's hardware segment.Figure 3: Apple’s days sales and payables outstanding, inventory days and cash conversion cycle (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2012 to 2022 10-Ks.Possible Signs Of Underinvestment And The Course Toward Mean ReversionIt is also worth noting Apple's capital expenditures, which typically range from $9 billion to $13 billion per year. Relatively speaking, capital expenditures have been on a downward trend since fiscal 2016, as shown in Figure 4. While some might argue that Apple is underinvesting, I would not overstate this aspect at this point in time (see below). While capital expenditures as a percentage of OCF continue to decline, it should be remembered that this is largely due to strong OCF growth and only to a small extent a result of lower actual investment in the business.Figure 4: Apple’s capital expenditures as a percentage of normalized operating cash flow (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2011 to 2022 10-Ks.Apple's key long-term free cash flow growth driver is innovation. Apple has innovated in both hardware and software, for example by introducing its ownprocessorsin its iPhones and Mac computers, a smart watch (Apple Watch), and its own payment service (Apple Pay). However, Apple has not introduced any groundbreaking new devices like theiPhoneor the iPod in a long time. I do believe that at some point, the users so accustomed to innovations will be saturated as it becomes increasingly difficult to pack truly groundbreaking new features into the devices currently available.At some point, Apple will have to come up with a new technological gadget - whether it is some sort of wearable, self-driving car, or technologically integrated piece of furniture. I am sure Apple will come up with something at some point, but it is also true that the race to find the next hot innovation is extremely competitive and capital-intensive, especially as it relates to autonomous driving. From this perspective, it does not seem unrealistic to assume that Apple will have to invest more and more cash flow into the business at a percentage equal to or above the historical average, as shown in Figure 4.What Is Currently Priced Into AAPL Stock?Several aspects underlying Apple's excellent free cash flow growth have been discussed, as well as potentially limiting factors. With the release of the fiscal2022 10-Ka few days ago, we now have a clear view of Apple's recent cash flows, which provide a basis for valuing the stock.First, let me share my FAST Graphs-inspired chart in Figure 5, which shows Apple's nFCF per share versus split-adjusted price per share. Clearly, Apple's stock price and free cash flow decoupled sometime in 2020, when investors began pricing huge growth rates into the stock. While it is entirely possible that Apple will continue to be able to grow its free cash flow at a high rate going forward, I simply believe that the likelihood of FCF remaining stagnant for at least a couple of years is relatively high for the reasons outlined above. Apple stock could be dead money for the foreseeable future, or worse, it could move closer to its long-term FCF trend, suggesting ample downside and a current fair value in the $100 region.Figure 5: Apple’s normalized free cash flow per share compared to its split-adjusted share price; note that nFCFs have been aligned with fiscal year ends in late September (own work, based on the company’s fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2022 10-Ks and the daily closing stock price of AAPL)Next, I evaluated Apple stock from a discounted cash flow (DCF) perspective - after all, a company is only worth the sum of its future cash flows, discounted to today at an appropriate rate. For Apple, I believe a cost of equity of 9.5% is appropriate, taking into account current long-term government bond rates and a 5% equity risk premium. For the DCF analysis below, I have used Apple's average nFCF for fiscal years 2021 to 2022 as the baseline cash flow, which may even be a somewhat optimistic assumption given the threat of a recession.Long-term visibility of revenue (and thus cash flow) is very difficult, which is also underscored by analyst estimates. More than 20 analystscoverApple on a two-year basis, expecting year-over-year revenue growth rates of 3.3% and 5.2% for fiscal years 2023 and 2024, respectively. After that, the number of analysts drops to 9. From fiscal 2026 to fiscal 2027, only 2 analysts cover Apple, and for the later years, there is only one analyst - a particularly optimistic one - who expects year-over-year sales growth rates of 18%, 9%, 9%, 10%, and 10% between fiscal 2028 and 2032. I am not in a position to provide plausible long-term estimates, but I consider anything higher than 5% p.a. over the next five years to be unduly optimistic for the reasons outlined above. Therefore, in the illustration of the DCF model in Figure 6, I have used a growth rate of 5% for the next five years, 4% for the subsequent five years, and a terminal growth rate of 3%.Figure 6: Cash flows underlying Apple's discounted cash flow analysis; terminal value not shown (own work)Summing the discounted cash flows and dividing the result by the current number of weighted average diluted shares outstanding yields a fair value of about $100, which is well in line with the backward-looking valuation in Figure 6.Put differently, to justify the current price of $150 per share, Apple would need to grow its free cash flow at a rate of 10% per year over the next five years (is this a realistic assumption in the context of a likely economic downturn?), followed by a growth rate of a similarly high 8% p.a. until year 10, and a terminal growth rate of 5%.Personally, I find it difficult to see such growth rates as realistic for the reasons mentioned above. In order to achieve such rates, Apple will likely be forced to diversify into other business areas, which is associated with considerable uncertainties, as its current business model will simply lack the addressable market at some point due to size.However, some may object that both valuation approaches are based on free cash flow and therefore represent an isolated approach. This is true, and conventional multiples-based approaches can also provide a good view on a company's valuation. Figure 7 compares ten-year averages of earnings- and revenue-based multiples with current values. It is evident that Apple is significantly overvalued on every metric, including its dividend yield (currently 0.6% versus a five-year average of 1.4%). Finally, it should also be remembered that these valuations are the product of what is likely the strongest bull market in recent history, giving cautious investors pause for thought. Morningstar currentlyratesApple at two stars and believes the stock is 15% overvalued. It is worth noting that the investor services firm views Apple as a company with only a narrow economic moat.Figure 7: Historical valuation of Apple stock, note that the price-earnings-growth ratio (PEG) has scaled by a factor of 10 for the sake of visibility (own work)Concluding RemarksThere is no question about it - Apple is a world-class company with a deeply rooted ecosystem, an ever-growing, religious-like following, and very strong management. The company is one of the few with real pricing power. However, with all the justified optimism, Apple markets largely discretionary products.Investors expect Apple to continue to be able to grow free cash flow by double digit, or at least high single digit rates, for the foreseeable future. However, the growth story has its limits. Apple will likely reach its limits at some point because the addressable market is saturated, so it will need to pursue other growth opportunities. Exploring new opportunities comes with execution risks and requires significant capital expenditures, which have been steadily declining since fiscal 2016 in relative terms. Moreover, Apple is already an extremely well-managed company that will struggle to increase free cash flow through improvements in working capital management - an often-overlooked growth driver of several less well-managed companies.As I have shown, Apple is significantly overvalued assuming more down-to-earth growth expectations. The market has been merciless on other tech stocks such as Amazon, Meta Platforms and Alphabet. So it is only reasonable to assume that Apple stock will also take a serious beating should the company fall short of expectations in any of the coming quarters. For example, what if the all-important holiday shopping season turns out slower than expected, capital expenditures rise significantly, or Europe faces a deep recession?If I owned the stock, I would at least toy with the idea of selling it, as it is obviously overvalued. This can easily be seen in the decoupling of the share price from free cash flow since 2020 and the decoupling from the overall market in 2022. Of course, this assumes that taxes do not need to be factored into the equation.Of course, none of these changes the fact that Apple is an extremely well-run company with a deeply entrenched ecosystem and an almost religious following. Therefore, I continue to keep the stock on my bear market watch list and patiently wait for the market to come back to its senses.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":821,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9079331871,"gmtCreate":1657150907093,"gmtModify":1676535957883,"author":{"id":"3579343697014515","authorId":"3579343697014515","name":"Benjean","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/22d4af8e6b3c8979779451d0782b9069","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579343697014515","authorIdStr":"3579343697014515"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Big companies sizing down.

The release beat expectations on revenue as well as on EPS. The $3 billion year-over-year increase in revenue showed that BABA was able to crankout strong sales growth even amid China’s lockdowns and other macroeconomic headwinds.</p><p>Alibaba had a lot of things working in its favor going into its Q2 release. The company had negative earnings in the prior year quarter, which meant that the comparisons were soft this time around. The company was caught off guard by some lockdowns in major Chinese cities, but it wasn’t until Q2 (Alibaba’s fiscal Q1) that they became truly widespread. Additionally, BABA enjoyed a significant increase in web traffic in Q4 across virtually all of its online channels. Despite these two factors working in BABA’s favor, analysts still cut estimates repeatedly throughout the quarter, leading to weak expectations.</p><p>So, Alibaba had many advantages heading into this release. Which is why it was not surprising that earnings beat expectations. In Q4, Alibaba put most of its 2021 tech crackdown damage behind it. We’re beginning to see the effects of that today.</p><p>With a solid fourth quarter under its belt, Alibaba has a good foundation to build from. While the upcoming quarterly release is likely to be weak due to China’s heavy Q2 lockdowns, BABA will once again have soft comparisons in the September quarter. This lends credence to the idea that 2022 will be the year when Alibaba recovers–although the process may take longer than we initially thought.</p><p><b>Earnings Recap</b></p><p>For the fourth quarter, Alibaba delivered strong earnings, beating on both the top and bottom lines. Some highlights include:</p><ul><li><p>Revenue: $32.1 billion, up 9% (beat by $3 billion);</p></li><li><p>Operating income: $2.6 billion;</p></li><li><p>GAAP earnings: $-2.5 billion;</p></li><li><p>Adjusted earnings: $3.1 billion;</p></li><li><p>Diluted EPS: $1.25, down 23% (beat by $0.16);</p></li><li><p>Operating cash flow: $-1.1 billion.</p></li></ul><p>Pretty strong results, all things considered. Even with lockdowns taking place in the fourth quarter, Alibaba managed to grow its revenue by billions of dollars.</p><p>A few metrics in the release were particularly surprising, such as the 8% growth in core commerce. Going into the release, many investors expected the core eCommerce segment to weigh on results, as China was going through lockdowns in Q4. In past quarters, that segment underperformed relative to the cloud segment. This time around, that trend reversed. In Q4, Alibaba Cloud lost its biggest customer, which resulted in the segment growing by only 21%. Alibaba Cloud has long been considered a major potential growth driver for BABA, so its comparative under-performance in Q4 was a disappointment.</p><p>The cloud segment is worth exploring in detail. In the earnings release, BABA said that “a top customer” cut out its use of Alibaba cloud due to slowing demand in China. It did not specify the identity of the customer. The customer also apparently ceased using Alibaba Cloud in its international business, though it declined to say why. According to Alibaba, cloud growth would have been 29% had this customer not stopped using the service.</p><p>So, although Alibaba Cloud growth decelerated significantly in Q4, there is reason to think that it will pick up again. The 29% growth that Alibaba Cloud would have delivered had this customer still been in the picture would have been commensurate with past quarters, meaning that BABA would not have experienced deceleration. If Alibaba can get that customer back, then its growth could accelerate in the near future.</p><p><b>Competitors’ Results</b></p><p>To truly understand Alibaba’s Q4 results, we need to check in on how the company’s competitors have been doing. It’s well known that China’s government wants to increase competition in the tech sector, and this has been cited as a headwind for Alibaba. Given this, it makes sense to look at some of BABA’s competitors’ recent releases. Armed with this information, we can gauge how much of an advantage or disadvantage BABA has going forward.</p><p>First, let’s look at <b>JD.com, Inc.</b> (JD). JD’s earnings release was mixed. Revenue beat expectations, growing 18%, as did adjusted earnings. GAAP earnings, on the other hand, missed by a pretty wide margin, coming in at $-0.29, compared to $-0.02 expected. It wasn’t a great release, but the growth in revenue shows that one of BABA’s competitors is increasing its presence in the market. That could be thought of as a negative for BABA.</p><p>Next up we have <b>Pinduoduo Inc.</b> (PDD). PDD’s most recent release showed its slowest revenue growth in years. Coming in at 3%, the company’s revenue decelerated dramatically. That was definitely a positive for Alibaba. Pinduoduo’s popular group purchase model in agricultural goods could have made it a real competitor to BABA had it branched out into more product categories. Now that PDD’s growth is slowing down, it looks like the possible competitive threat has eased off. (<a href=\"https://ttm.financial/NW/1123192288\" target=\"_blank\">Pinduoduo has announced its quarterly results</a>)</p><p><b>Valuation</b></p><p>Alibaba’s Q4 results are particularly encouraging when we consider them along with the company’s valuation. Alibaba’s recent earnings beat expectations, yet the company’s stock is still very cheap, boasting valuation multiples like:</p><ul><li><p>Adjusted P/E: 9.5;</p></li><li><p>GAAP P/E: 21.9;</p></li><li><p>Price/sales: 1.69;</p></li><li><p>Price/book: 1.44;</p></li><li><p>Price/operating cash flow: 8.</p></li></ul><p>The above metrics strongly hint at a company that may be undervalued. BABA is, quite frankly, priced like it’s going out of business. Its price/book multiple is approaching a level where the company would be trading below the value of assets, net of debt, if its stock went much lower. In fact, Alibaba could reach the point where it’s trading below book value this quarter if its stock portfolio increases in value.</p><p>Alibaba is known to hold a lot of stocks and other marketable securities on its balance sheet. In recent quarters, this factor has been reducing the company’s GAAP earnings, as GAAP accounting rules state that you have to subtract mark-to-market losses on securities from net income, even if the losses weren’t realized. It’s a peculiar accounting rule that Warren Buffett has criticized due to it producing “earnings” that don’t reflect operating performance. It is true that mark-to-market accounting produces earnings that have nothing to do with business performance. However, this exact same factor could push BABA’s assets and earnings higher in the future, leading to an even lower price/book multiple and even greater perceived undervaluation.</p><p><b>Risks and Challenges</b></p><p>As we’ve seen, Alibaba is a strong player in China’s eCommerce industry that just put out a better-than-expected earnings release. Its stock is also very cheap. Taking all of this together, one gets the sense of a great value.</p><p>However, there are several risks and challenges to keep in mind, including:</p><ul><li><p><b>June quarter earnings.</b>It’s quite likely that Alibaba’s June quarter earnings will be weak. There were at least two full months of severe lockdowns in several Chinese cities in Q1. At the peak, more than 400 million Chinese citizens were locked down. There were some lockdowns in the just-reported quarter, but they weren’t as strict, and they didn’t affect as many people. There are already early signs that the Q2 lockdowns hit BABA pretty hard. BABA’s web traffic severely declined in April after rising in March. This suggests that, possibly, Chinese citizens were spending less money due to lockdown-induced supply constraints, or income loss.</p></li><li><p><b>Lockdowns.</b>Related to the June quarter earnings release is the prospect of Chinese lockdowns in general. China still officially maintains a “Zero COVID policy” which means that it is willing to use lockdowns to combat even small numbers of cases. This can lead to less retail spending when it occurs, which is a bad thing for online retail platforms like the ones BABA operates.</p></li><li><p><b>A renewed tech regulation.</b>China’s tech regulation was the biggest single factor behind Alibaba’s crash in 2021. The regulation resulted in BABA taking a $2.8 billion fine, a tax hike, and a host of other challenges. At the start of this year, it was looking like the regulation was still ongoing. The government was just about to launch a new inquiry into Ant Group when the COVID outbreak hit and the anti-trust inquiries were put on hold. Since then, China’s policy has been to support the markets rather than pressure them. However, there is always the possibility that the regulation will flare up again. If it does, it could cost BABA some money.</p></li><li><p><b>The macro climate.</b>China’s macroeconomic environment could be considered a short term risk factor for Alibaba. China’s retail spending growth was -11% in April. It could continue to be negative if China continues to pursue its aggressive stance on COVID. Additionally, China will face softer export growth should the U.S. enter the recession that many expect, and is still dealing with the economic fallout from the collapse of Evergrande. Taking all of these factors together, we get a picture of a decidedly challenging macroeconomic environment.</p></li></ul><p>If you’re considering taking a position in Alibaba, you’ll want to give the risk factors above a good hard mulling over. To my mind, BABA stock is a good value, because the stock is cheap and the company has a good competitive position. But a stock facing this many risk factors isn’t for everyone. It has been a volatile ride so far, and probably will be for the foreseeable future.</p><p>As for me, I plan to continue holding BABA. For an investor with a long time horizon, there are few better deals in the market today. A lot of people in this market speak of <b>Meta Platforms, Inc.</b> (FB) as a value stock, yet its multiples areall higher than BABA’sdespite it having slower revenue growth. Alibaba is the kind of rock bottom bargain you rarely see anywhere other than China, which is why I remain long this stock despite all of the risk factors it faces.</p></body></html>","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>Alibaba Earnings: Back Up The Truck</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\">\nAlibaba Earnings: Back Up The Truck\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-05-27 22:03 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4514639-alibaba-earnings-back-up-the-truck><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryAlibaba just released its Q4 earnings, which beat on both revenue and adjusted EPS.Expectations were low heading into the release.At this point, BABA has gotten beaten down to the point of ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4514639-alibaba-earnings-back-up-the-truck\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"BABA":"阿里巴巴","09988":"阿里巴巴-W"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4514639-alibaba-earnings-back-up-the-truck","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"2238387186","content_text":"SummaryAlibaba just released its Q4 earnings, which beat on both revenue and adjusted EPS.Expectations were low heading into the release.At this point, BABA has gotten beaten down to the point of absurdity.In this article I dissect Alibaba's Q4 earnings release and explain why I'm still long despite all the challenges.Michael Loccisano/Getty Images EntertainmentAlibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) just released its fourth quarter earnings. The release beat expectations on revenue as well as on EPS. The $3 billion year-over-year increase in revenue showed that BABA was able to crankout strong sales growth even amid China’s lockdowns and other macroeconomic headwinds.Alibaba had a lot of things working in its favor going into its Q2 release. The company had negative earnings in the prior year quarter, which meant that the comparisons were soft this time around. The company was caught off guard by some lockdowns in major Chinese cities, but it wasn’t until Q2 (Alibaba’s fiscal Q1) that they became truly widespread. Additionally, BABA enjoyed a significant increase in web traffic in Q4 across virtually all of its online channels. Despite these two factors working in BABA’s favor, analysts still cut estimates repeatedly throughout the quarter, leading to weak expectations.So, Alibaba had many advantages heading into this release. Which is why it was not surprising that earnings beat expectations. In Q4, Alibaba put most of its 2021 tech crackdown damage behind it. We’re beginning to see the effects of that today.With a solid fourth quarter under its belt, Alibaba has a good foundation to build from. While the upcoming quarterly release is likely to be weak due to China’s heavy Q2 lockdowns, BABA will once again have soft comparisons in the September quarter. This lends credence to the idea that 2022 will be the year when Alibaba recovers–although the process may take longer than we initially thought.Earnings RecapFor the fourth quarter, Alibaba delivered strong earnings, beating on both the top and bottom lines. Some highlights include:Revenue: $32.1 billion, up 9% (beat by $3 billion);Operating income: $2.6 billion;GAAP earnings: $-2.5 billion;Adjusted earnings: $3.1 billion;Diluted EPS: $1.25, down 23% (beat by $0.16);Operating cash flow: $-1.1 billion.Pretty strong results, all things considered. Even with lockdowns taking place in the fourth quarter, Alibaba managed to grow its revenue by billions of dollars.A few metrics in the release were particularly surprising, such as the 8% growth in core commerce. Going into the release, many investors expected the core eCommerce segment to weigh on results, as China was going through lockdowns in Q4. In past quarters, that segment underperformed relative to the cloud segment. This time around, that trend reversed. In Q4, Alibaba Cloud lost its biggest customer, which resulted in the segment growing by only 21%. Alibaba Cloud has long been considered a major potential growth driver for BABA, so its comparative under-performance in Q4 was a disappointment.The cloud segment is worth exploring in detail. In the earnings release, BABA said that “a top customer” cut out its use of Alibaba cloud due to slowing demand in China. It did not specify the identity of the customer. The customer also apparently ceased using Alibaba Cloud in its international business, though it declined to say why. According to Alibaba, cloud growth would have been 29% had this customer not stopped using the service.So, although Alibaba Cloud growth decelerated significantly in Q4, there is reason to think that it will pick up again. The 29% growth that Alibaba Cloud would have delivered had this customer still been in the picture would have been commensurate with past quarters, meaning that BABA would not have experienced deceleration. If Alibaba can get that customer back, then its growth could accelerate in the near future.Competitors’ ResultsTo truly understand Alibaba’s Q4 results, we need to check in on how the company’s competitors have been doing. It’s well known that China’s government wants to increase competition in the tech sector, and this has been cited as a headwind for Alibaba. Given this, it makes sense to look at some of BABA’s competitors’ recent releases. Armed with this information, we can gauge how much of an advantage or disadvantage BABA has going forward.First, let’s look at JD.com, Inc. (JD). JD’s earnings release was mixed. Revenue beat expectations, growing 18%, as did adjusted earnings. GAAP earnings, on the other hand, missed by a pretty wide margin, coming in at $-0.29, compared to $-0.02 expected. It wasn’t a great release, but the growth in revenue shows that one of BABA’s competitors is increasing its presence in the market. That could be thought of as a negative for BABA.Next up we have Pinduoduo Inc. (PDD). PDD’s most recent release showed its slowest revenue growth in years. Coming in at 3%, the company’s revenue decelerated dramatically. That was definitely a positive for Alibaba. Pinduoduo’s popular group purchase model in agricultural goods could have made it a real competitor to BABA had it branched out into more product categories. Now that PDD’s growth is slowing down, it looks like the possible competitive threat has eased off. (Pinduoduo has announced its quarterly results)ValuationAlibaba’s Q4 results are particularly encouraging when we consider them along with the company’s valuation. Alibaba’s recent earnings beat expectations, yet the company’s stock is still very cheap, boasting valuation multiples like:Adjusted P/E: 9.5;GAAP P/E: 21.9;Price/sales: 1.69;Price/book: 1.44;Price/operating cash flow: 8.The above metrics strongly hint at a company that may be undervalued. BABA is, quite frankly, priced like it’s going out of business. Its price/book multiple is approaching a level where the company would be trading below the value of assets, net of debt, if its stock went much lower. In fact, Alibaba could reach the point where it’s trading below book value this quarter if its stock portfolio increases in value.Alibaba is known to hold a lot of stocks and other marketable securities on its balance sheet. In recent quarters, this factor has been reducing the company’s GAAP earnings, as GAAP accounting rules state that you have to subtract mark-to-market losses on securities from net income, even if the losses weren’t realized. It’s a peculiar accounting rule that Warren Buffett has criticized due to it producing “earnings” that don’t reflect operating performance. It is true that mark-to-market accounting produces earnings that have nothing to do with business performance. However, this exact same factor could push BABA’s assets and earnings higher in the future, leading to an even lower price/book multiple and even greater perceived undervaluation.Risks and ChallengesAs we’ve seen, Alibaba is a strong player in China’s eCommerce industry that just put out a better-than-expected earnings release. Its stock is also very cheap. Taking all of this together, one gets the sense of a great value.However, there are several risks and challenges to keep in mind, including:June quarter earnings.It’s quite likely that Alibaba’s June quarter earnings will be weak. There were at least two full months of severe lockdowns in several Chinese cities in Q1. At the peak, more than 400 million Chinese citizens were locked down.

The latest quarterly update comes against a backdrop of a contracting Chinese economy, supply chain woes and the recent zero-COVID lockdowns.Taking these factors into consideration, ahead of the print, Baird’s 5-star analyst Colin Sebastian thinks some revisions are in order on the outlook for F23.The analyst now anticipates F1Q23 (June) revenues will increase by 4% year-over-year to reach ¥214.7 billion, below the prior forecast of ¥228.4 billion. This factors in the China commerce and international commerce segments dialing in revenue of ¥144.8 billion and ¥15.9 billion, respectively, vs. the ¥157.4 billion and ¥16.7 billion expected before. Sebastian’s full year forecast now calls for revenue of ¥945.7 billion, below the previous estimate of ¥959.3 billion.The new revised estimates “primarily reflect the deceleration in e-commerce and retail sales reported by China's NBS for April.” “Additionally,” Sebastian explained, “we believe that additional headwinds from recent pandemic-related lock downs in certain cities could impact New Retail and advertising revenues.”There are also respective reductions to the F1Q and FY23 EBITA estimates; these now stand at ¥45 billion (representing a 20% margin) and ¥149.8 billion (15.8% margin vs. the prior 18.6%).Despite the “near-term headwinds,” the company's continued focus on innovation and product development is encouraging and there have been signs the operating climate for Internet companies in China may be “normalizing.”“If that proves accurate,” says the analyst, “we believe there could be material upside in shares over the long term. For now, however, we think management's tone could remain cautious with respect to near-term growth and margins.”Other things to look out for on the earnings call include the recent lockdowns’ effect on the supply chain, the state of the regulatory environment, the progress of Taobao Deals and Taocaicai, growth and margins of the Cloud segment and the company’s capex plans.All in all, Sebastian reiterated an Outperform (i.e. Buy) rating on BABA shares along with a $144 price target. Should his thesis play out, a potential upside of ~75% could be in the cards.Overall, the analysts are fully behind Alibaba right now; based on Buys only - 18, in total - the stock boasts a Strong Buy consensus rating. Shares are priced at $82.47, and their $168.79 average price target suggests room for ~105% growth on the one-year time horizon.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":197,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9066921022,"gmtCreate":1651841681466,"gmtModify":1676534981620,"author":{"id":"3579343697014515","authorId":"3579343697014515","name":"Benjean","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/22d4af8e6b3c8979779451d0782b9069","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579343697014515","authorIdStr":"3579343697014515"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Congrats to all NIO shareholders&nbsp;","listText":"Congrats to all NIO shareholders&nbsp;","text":"Congrats to all NIO shareholders","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9066921022","repostId":"1103233683","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1103233683","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":1651826144,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1103233683?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-06 16:35","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"NIO Shares Gained 3% As Wins Nod for Secondary Listing on SGX","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1103233683","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Nio shares gained 3% as wins nod for secondary listing on SGX.Nio has received a conditional green l","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Nio shares gained 3% as wins nod for secondary listing on SGX.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7c9f623748c12ce14511dc9a05b8f080\" tg-width=\"823\" tg-height=\"649\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Nio has received a conditional green light for its proposed secondary listing in Singapore.</p><p>The Singapore Exchange (SGX) has issued the company a conditional eligibility-to-list (ETL) letter for the listing on its mainboard, Nio said on Friday (May 6).</p><p>Nio is primary-listed in the US on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

With Metaverse holding a big chunk of the future tech market, Google is uniquely positioned to leverage its powerhouse to grab a slice of that $800 billion market share.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":137,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9919831064,"gmtCreate":1663768961459,"gmtModify":1676537332726,"author":{"id":"3579343697014515","authorId":"3579343697014515","name":"Benjean","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/22d4af8e6b3c8979779451d0782b9069","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579343697014515","authorIdStr":"3579343697014515"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great&nbsp;","listText":"Great&nbsp;","text":"Great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9919831064","repostId":"1152960933","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":431,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9992310629,"gmtCreate":1661262449463,"gmtModify":1676536484543,"author":{"id":"3579343697014515","authorId":"3579343697014515","name":"Benjean","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/22d4af8e6b3c8979779451d0782b9069","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579343697014515","authorIdStr":"3579343697014515"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Meta always....","listText":"Meta always....","text":"Meta always....","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9992310629","repostId":"2261455457","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2261455457","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1661260727,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2261455457?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-23 21:18","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Got $3,000? 3 Top Growth Stocks to Buy That Could Double Your Money","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2261455457","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"CrowdStrike, AMD, and Meta are still high-quality growth plays.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Many growth stocks have fallen out of favor this year as rising interest rates and other macro headwinds have driven investors toward cheaper value plays.

CrowdStrike</h2><p>Many cybersecurity companies install on-site appliances to run their services. Those appliances take up a lot of space, require regular maintenance, and can be difficult to scale as an organization expands. To address those issues, a new generation of cybersecurity players challenged the industry leaders with subscription-based cloud services that don&#39;t require any on-site appliances. CrowdStrike, which went public three years ago, is one of these disruptive newcomers.</p><p>CrowdStrike&#39;s revenue rose 82% in fiscal 2021 -- which ended Jan. 31, 2021 --  and increased 66% to $1.45 billion in fiscal 2022. It anticipates another 51% to 52% revenue growth in the current fiscal year. It also turned profitable on an adjusted basis in fiscal 2021, and its adjusted net profit surged 157% to $161 million in fiscal 2022. It expects that figure to climb 76% to 83% in fiscal 2023.</p><p>CrowdStrike ended its latest quarter with 17,945 subscription customers, representing 57% growth from a year ago. Seventy-one percent of those customers had adopted four or more of its cloud-based modules, compared to 64% a year earlier. That increasing stickiness indicates its &#34;land and expand&#34; strategies are working.</p><p>CrowdStrike&#39;s stock isn&#39;t cheap at 21 times this year&#39;s sales, but it arguably deserves that premium valuation. It&#39;s already established an early-mover&#39;s advantage in its niche of cloud-native cybersecurity services, and it will likely profit from the secular expansion of the broader cybersecurity sector.</p><h2>2. AMD</h2><p>AMD was once considered a distant underdog to <b>Intel</b> in x86 CPUs and <b>Nvidia</b> in discrete GPUs. But under CEO Lisa Su, who took the helm in 2014, AMD gained significant market share against Intel in CPUs, kept pace with Nvidia with new GPUs, and blended together its CPUs and GPUs in custom APUs for <b>Sony</b>&#39;s PlayStation consoles and <b>Microsoft</b>&#39;s Xbox consoles.</p><p>Instead of stubbornly manufacturing its own chips like Intel, AMD spun off its capital-intensive foundries and outsourced the production of its top-tier chips to<b> TSMC</b>. TSMC&#39;s technological lead against Intel in the &#34;process race&#34; to manufacture smaller and denser chips subsequently enabled AMD to develop more advanced chips than Intel and sell them at lower prices.</p><p>Those catalysts enabled AMD to grow like a weed. In 2020, its revenue rose 45% as its adjusted earnings more than doubled. In 2021, its revenue surged 68% to $16.4 billion as its adjusted earnings more than doubled again. PC sales have been gradually cooling off in a post-lockdown world, but AMD still expects its revenue to grow about 60% this year as its data center and embedded chips offset that cyclical slowdown. Analysts expect its adjusted earnings to grow 57%, which is a jaw-dropping growth rate for a stock that trades at just 23 times forward earnings.</p><h2>3. Meta Platforms</h2><p>Facebook&#39;s recent transformation into Meta Platforms, which reflects the expansion of its ecosystem into the metaverse with VR devices and software, coincided with the slowdown of its core advertising business. That deceleration, which Meta blamed on <b>Apple</b>&#39;s privacy changes on iOS and competition from <b>ByteDance</b>&#39;s TikTok, spooked the bulls.</p><p>However, the bears often gloss over the fact that Meta&#39;s &#34;family&#34; of social media apps -- which includes Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp -- still serves 3.65 billion people (nearly half the world&#39;s population) every month. They also probably won&#39;t point out that Meta still holds a near-duopoly in the digital advertising market -- with <b>Alphabet</b>&#39;s Google -- across many major markets.</p><p>But overlooking those strengths would be a mistake. Meta has been tweaking its advertising algorithms to deal with Apple&#39;s changes, and it&#39;s been investing heavily in new short video content to counter TikTok. Its nascent metaverse ecosystem, which reached about 300,000 monthly active users earlier this year, could also continue to expand as more mainstream consumers buy VR headsets.</p><p>Analysts expect Meta&#39;s revenue to remain nearly flat this year at $118 billion and for its earnings to decline 25%. But next year, they expect its revenue and earnings to grow 11% and 15%, respectively, as its advertising business stabilizes and it reins in its metaverse-related expenses. If Meta regains its balance, then its stock looks like a screaming bargain right now at 18 times forward earnings.</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>Got $3,000? 3 Top Growth Stocks to Buy That Could Double Your Money</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\">\nGot $3,000? 3 Top Growth Stocks to Buy That Could Double Your Money\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-08-23 21:18 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/08/21/got-3000-3-top-growth-stocks-to-buy-that-could-dou/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Many growth stocks have fallen out of favor this year as rising interest rates and other macro headwinds have driven investors toward cheaper value plays.
