Then in 2006, it introduced the CUDA programming model, turning GPUs into general-purpose processors.

The data center</h2>\n<p>Currently, NVIDIA controls over 90%&nbsp;of the data center accelerator market. Over the past 12 months, its data center business generated $7.6 billion in revenue, up 117%.

CEO Jensen Huang believes this vertical integration will be a significant advantage, allowing NVIDIA to \"re-architect the data center to advance AI.\"</p>\n<h2><b>2. Autonomous vehicles</b></h2>\n<p>The NVIDIA DRIVE platform is designed to power autonomous vehicles (AVs). It combines in-car hardware with AI software, allowing vehicles to see, think, and move safely through their environments. In a recent report from advisory firm Navigant Research, NVIDIA DRIVE ranked as the No. 1 AV compute platform on the market.</p>\n<p>The brains behind this system is NVIDIA Orin, a supercomputer that delivers 254 TOPS of performance, meaning it can perform 254 trillion operations per second. By comparison, the latest chip from <b>Intel</b>'s&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MBLY\">Mobileye</a> -- the No. 2 player in Navigant's report -- delivers just 24 TOPS.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1d24136b7828e9c57db066423f43bfd7\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"525\"><span>The NVIDIA Orin. Image source: NVIDIA.</span></p>\n<p>While NVIDIA Orin won't ship until 2022, automakers like <b>NIO</b> &nbsp;and <b>Volvo</b> have already selected NVIDIA DRIVE to power their autonomous fleets. As a result, NVIDIA is set to recognize $8 billion in automotive revenue over the next six years. But that small figure doesn't scratch the surface of its long-term potential.</p>\n<p>Management believes the AV platform market will reach $25 billion by 2025. Given its competitive edge, NVIDIA could capture the lion's share of that figure. And if that happens, automotive sales could become a third major revenue stream for NVIDIA, supplementing its gaming and data center businesses.</p>\n<h2><b>3. NVIDIA Omniverse</b></h2>\n<p>This summer, NVIDIA will launch Omniverse, a platform that allows clients to build 3D simulations in real time. It connects industry-leading design tools from partners like <b>Autodesk</b> and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a></b>, enabling collaboration in a shared virtual space. This is a big deal for three reasons.</p>\n<p>First, Omniverse will accelerate AI. NVIDIA DRIVE Sim&nbsp;is an Omniverse-powered application that allows clients to generate synthetic driving data. That data can then be used in the real world to train AI models for autonomous vehicles.</p>\n<p>Second, Omniverse is a subscription product. That's noteworthy because semiconductor sales tend to be cyclical, which can cause lumpy revenue growth. But subscription sales are typically recurring in nature, meaning Omniverse could help NVIDIA grow its top line more consistently.</p>\n<p>Third, NVIDIA believes this is a stepping-stone to the Metaverse. If you're unfamiliar with the term, the idea comes from science fiction. The Metaverse refers to a persistent virtual world, a digital reality where people can interact and share experiences.</p>\n<p>Here's the big picture: The virtual reality market will hit $69 billion by 2028, according to Grand View Research. And so far, NVIDIA Omniverse is gaining traction rapidly. During the three-month beta testing period, it was downloaded by over 17,000 users.</p>\n<h2>A final word</h2>\n<p>To summarize, NVIDIA benefits from a solid competitive position and a massive market opportunity. Both advantages should be growth drivers over the coming decade. But will they be enough to eclipse Apple's current market cap of $2.1 trillion?</p>\n<p>No one knows the future, but I think it's possible. Since fiscal 2016 (ended Jan. 31, 2016), NVIDIA's revenue has grown at 29% per year. If it can maintain an annual growth rate of just 17% over the next decade (assuming its price-to-sales ratio remains unchanged), NVIDIA's market cap would reach $2.2 trillion in 2031.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>1 Growth Stock That Could Be Bigger Than Apple</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\">\n1 Growth Stock That Could Be Bigger Than Apple\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-18 08:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/17/1-growth-stock-that-could-be-bigger-than-apple/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>In 1999, NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) invented the graphics processing unit (GPU), a chip that revolutionized the gaming industry.

Two hundred million doses — enough to fully protect 100 million people — would be shared this year, with the balance to be donated in the first half of 2022, the person said.\nNational security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters Wednesday that Biden was committed to sharing vaccines because it was in the public health and strategic interests of the U.S. As Biden embarks on his first foreign trip, he is aiming to show \"that democracies are the countries that can best deliver solutions for people everywhere.\"\n\"As he said in his joint session (address), we were the 'arsenal of democracy' in World War II,\" Sullivan said. \"We're going to be the 'arsenal of vaccines' over this next period to help end the pandemic.\"\nThe news of the Pfizer sharing plan was confirmed to The Associated Press by a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of the president's formal announcement. The news was first reported by the Washington Post.\nThe U.S. has faced mounting pressure to outline its global vaccine sharing plan. Inequities in supply around the world have become more pronounced, and the demand for shots in the U.S. — where nearly 64% of adults have received at least one dose — has dropped precipitously.\nThe announcement comes a week after the White House unveiled its plans to donate an initial allotment of 25 million doses of surplus vaccine overseas, mostly through the United Nations-backed COVAX program, promising infusions for South and Central America, Asia, Africa and others at a time of glaring shortages abroad.\nOverall, the White House has announced plans to share 80 million doses globally by the end of June, most through COVAX. Officials say a quarter of the nation's excess will be kept in reserve for emergencies and for the U.S. to share directly with allies and partners.\nThe White House has also directed doses to allies including South Korea, Taiwan and Ukraine.\nGlobal public health groups had been aiming to use the upcoming G-7 meetings in Cornwall, England, to press the nation's wealthiest democracies to do more to share vaccines with the world, and Biden's plans drew immediate praise toward that end.\n\"The Biden administration's decision to purchase and donate additional Covid-19 vaccine doses is the kind of bold leadership that is needed to end this global pandemic,\" said Tom Hart, acting CEO at The ONE Campaign, a nonprofit that seeks to end poverty. \"This action sends an incredibly powerful message about America's commitment to helping the world fight this pandemic and the immense power of US global leadership.\"\nGlobally, there have been more than 3.7 million confirmed deaths from Covid-19, and more than 174 million people have been confirmed infected.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":378,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":112444108,"gmtCreate":1622908622804,"gmtModify":1704193206378,"author":{"id":"3579426471617435","authorId":"3579426471617435","name":"osp95","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579426471617435","idStr":"3579426471617435"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment","listText":"Like and comment","text":"Like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/112444108","repostId":"1106312903","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1106312903","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622855773,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1106312903?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-05 09:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. IPO Week Ahead: Digital Payments, Mental Health Services, And More In A Diverse 8 IPO","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1106312903","media":"Renaissance Capital","summary":"Summary\n\nEight IPOs are currently slated to raise $3.7 billion, featuring digital payments, mental h","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Eight IPOs are currently slated to raise $3.7 billion, featuring digital payments, mental health services, and more.</li>\n <li>Payments platform Marqeta plans to raise $1.0 billion at a $12.4 billion market cap.</li>\n <li>Chinese online recruitment platform Kanzhun plans to raise $864 million at an $8.2 billion market cap.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Eight IPOs are currently slated to raise $3.7 billion, featuring digital payments, mental health services, and more.</p>\n<p>Payments platform&nbsp;<b>Marqeta</b>(MQ) plans to raise $1.0 billion at a $12.4 billion market cap.

For BNPL, this will likely include companies such as Affirm, Afterpay, Klarna, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SZL.AU\">Sezzle</a>, SplitIt, Quadpay and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a>. When asked what Apple’s move in the space may mean for the future of growth in the digital wallet, executives from the companies agreed it was a great opportunity for all involved, including consumers.</p><p>“Finding partnerships in the alternative payments space makes sense for Apple on a number of levels,” said Charlie Youakim, Sezzle chief executive officer and cofounder of Sezzle. “First, the world of payments is a significant Total Addressable Market opportunity, which is underpenetrated in terms of market share from alternative providers. Second, a partnership would allow Apple to avoid credit risk on its balance sheet. And third, it would be a natural extension of some of the products Apple already provides such as its iPhone Wallet, Apple Pay, and Apple Card.”</p><p>Moreover, Brad Paterson, chief executive officer at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPT.AU\">Splitit</a>, said, “Apple’s news is another positive sign for the buy now, pay later industry. Payments expertise is a growing need for retailers as consumers demand more flexibility, including how they pay overtime. For example, many consumers prefer to pay in installments using their existing cards instead of obtaining new debt via traditional point-of-sale financing. Appointing a payment specialist will help companies such as Apple solve for the different and evolving needs of consumers.”</p><p>According to Zahir Khoja, head of North America at Afterpay, it’s important to note that its customers of Millennials and Gen Z represent a massive shift to debit spending, with more than 90 percent of transactions being made with a debit card.</p><p>“Unlike other BNPL products, which are just a new form of a credit card, Afterpay gives shoppers the ability to avoid expensive interest, hidden fees and pernicious debt,” Khoja said. “Afterpay’s current partnership with Apple represents a significant change in the way young people want to pay.</p><p>Affirm, Klarna and Quadpay withheld comment for this story.</p>","source":"yahoofinance","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

For BNPL, this will likely include companies such as Affirm, Afterpay, Klarna, Sezzle, SplitIt, Quadpay and PayPal. When asked what Apple’s move in the space may mean for the future of growth in the digital wallet, executives from the companies agreed it was a great opportunity for all involved, including consumers.“Finding partnerships in the alternative payments space makes sense for Apple on a number of levels,” said Charlie Youakim, Sezzle chief executive officer and cofounder of Sezzle. “First, the world of payments is a significant Total Addressable Market opportunity, which is underpenetrated in terms of market share from alternative providers. Second, a partnership would allow Apple to avoid credit risk on its balance sheet. And third, it would be a natural extension of some of the products Apple already provides such as its iPhone Wallet, Apple Pay, and Apple Card.”Moreover, Brad Paterson, chief executive officer at Splitit, said, “Apple’s news is another positive sign for the buy now, pay later industry. Payments expertise is a growing need for retailers as consumers demand more flexibility, including how they pay overtime. For example, many consumers prefer to pay in installments using their existing cards instead of obtaining new debt via traditional point-of-sale financing. Appointing a payment specialist will help companies such as Apple solve for the different and evolving needs of consumers.”According to Zahir Khoja, head of North America at Afterpay, it’s important to note that its customers of Millennials and Gen Z represent a massive shift to debit spending, with more than 90 percent of transactions being made with a debit card.“Unlike other BNPL products, which are just a new form of a credit card, Afterpay gives shoppers the ability to avoid expensive interest, hidden fees and pernicious debt,” Khoja said. “Afterpay’s current partnership with Apple represents a significant change in the way young people want to pay.Affirm, Klarna and Quadpay withheld comment for this story.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":528,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":136813666,"gmtCreate":1622004743355,"gmtModify":1704365921693,"author":{"id":"3579426471617435","authorId":"3579426471617435","name":"osp95","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579426471617435","idStr":"3579426471617435"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment pls","listText":"Like and comment pls","text":"Like and comment pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/136813666","repostId":"2138160203","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":561,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":197070572,"gmtCreate":1621414357796,"gmtModify":1704357239985,"author":{"id":"3579426471617435","authorId":"3579426471617435","name":"osp95","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579426471617435","idStr":"3579426471617435"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmmmm","listText":"Hmmmm","text":"Hmmmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/197070572","repostId":"1156718320","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":600,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":190206951,"gmtCreate":1620620702473,"gmtModify":1704345677592,"author":{"id":"3579426471617435","authorId":"3579426471617435","name":"osp95","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579426471617435","idStr":"3579426471617435"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment pls.

The president addresses a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening.It’s a huge week for earnings with about a third of the S&P 500 reporting, including Big Tech names, such as Apple,Microsoft,Alphabet and Amazon.As many have already done, firms like Boeing, Ford,Caterpillar and McDonald’s, are likely to detail cost pressures they are facing from rising materials and transportation costs and supply chain disruptions.At the same time, the Fed is expected to defend its policy of letting inflation run hot, while assuring markets it sees the pick-up in prices as only temporary. The central bank meets on Tuesday and Wednesday.The central bank takes the main stage“I think the Fed would like not to be a feature next week, but the Fed will be forced from the background because of concerns about inflation,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton.The central bank is not expected to make any policy moves, but Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s press briefing following the meeting Wednesday will be closely watched.So far, the barrage of earnings news has been positive, with 86% of companies reporting earnings beats. Corporate profits are expected to be up about 33.9% for the first quarter, based on estimates and actual reports, according to Refinitiv. Revenues are about 9.9% higher.There is important inflation data Friday when the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge is reported.The personal consumption expenditure report is expected to show a 1.8% rise in core inflation, still below the Fed’s target of 2%. Other data releases include the first-quarter gross domestic product on Thursday, which is expected to have grown by 6.5%, according to Dow Jones.“I think the Fed has no urgency to shift monetary policy at this point,” said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO. “The Fed needs to acknowledge that the data is improving. We had a strong first quarter.”“The Fed needs to acknowledge that but at the same time they’re keeping extremely accommodative policy in place, so they’ll have to make a note to the fact that the easy policy is warranted,” he said.Lyngen said the Fed will likely point to continued concerns about the pandemic globally as a potential risk to the economic recovery.Powell is also expected to once more explain that the Fed will let inflation rise above its 2% target for a period of time before it raises rates so that the economy can have more time to heal. “It’s going to be a challenge for the Fed,” said Swonk.The base effects for the next several months will make inflation appear to have jumped sharply because of the comparison to a weak period last year. The consumer price index for April could be above 3%, compared to 2.6% last month, Swonk added.“The Fed is trying to let a lot more people get out onto the dance floor before it calls ‘last call,’” she said. “Really what Powell has been saying since day one is if we take care of people on the margins and bring them back into the labor force, the rest will take care of itself.”Stocks were slightly lower in the past week, and Treasury yields held at lower levels. The 10-year yield,which moves opposite price, was at 1.55% Friday.The S&P 500was down 0.1%, ending the week at 4,180, while Nasdaq Composite was down nearly 0.3% at 14,016. The Dow was off just shy of 0.5% at 34,043.Tax hike prospectsStocks were hit hard on Thursday when after a news report said that Biden is expected to propose a capital gains tax rate of 39.6% for people earning more than $1 million a year.Combined with the 3.8% net investment income tax, the new levy would more than double the long term capital gains rate of 20% or the richest Americans.Strategists said Biden is expected to propose raising the income tax rate for those earning more than $400,000.“I think a lot of people are starting to price in the risk there going to be a significant increase in both corporate and capital gains taxes,” said Lyngen.So far, companies have not provided much in the way of commentary on the proposed hike in corporate taxes to 28% from 21% but they have been talking about other costs.David Bianco, chief investment strategist for the Americas at DWS, said he expects larger companies will do better dealing with supply chain constraints than smaller ones. Big Tech is also likely to fare better during the semiconductor shortage than auto makers, which have already announced production shutdowns, he said.“Next week is tech week. I think we’re going to get down on our knees and just be in awe of their business models and their ability to grow at a behemoth scale,” Bianco said.He said he’s not in favor of Wall Street’s popular trade into cyclicals and out of growth. He still favors growth.“We’re overweight equities really because we’re concerned about rising interest rates,” Bianco said. “I’m not bullish in that I expect the market to rise that much from here.”“We stuck with growth and dug deeper into bond substitutes, utilities, staples, real estate,” he said, adding he is underweight industrials, energy and materials. “Energy is doomed. It’s being nationalized via regulation. I do like industrials, they are well-run companies, but I do think infrastructure spending expectations for classic infrastructure are too high.”He also said industrials are good businesses, but the stocks have become overvalued.Bianco said he likes big box stores, but smaller retailers are facing big challenges that were already impacting them prior to Covid. He also finds small biotech firms attractive.“I like healthcare stocks. Those valuations are reasonable. People have been paranoid about politicians beating on them since 1992. They manage through it and lately they’ve been delivering,” he said.Week ahead calendarMondayEarnings:Tesla,Canadian National Railway, Canon,Check Point Software,Otis Worldwide, Vale,Ameriprise,NXP Semiconductor,Albertsons, Royal Phillips8:30 a.m. Durable goodsTuesdayFOMC begins two day meetingEarnings:Microsoft,Alphabet,Visa,Amgen,Advanced Micro Devices,3M,General Electric,Eli Lilly, Hasbro,United Parcel Service,BP,Novartis,JetBlue,Pultegroup,Archer Daniels Midland,Waste Management,Starbucks,Texas Instrument,Chubb,Mondelez,FireEye,Corning,Raytheon9:00 a.m. S&P/Case-Shiller9:00 a.m. FHFA home prices10:00 a.m. Consumer confidence10:00 a.m. Housing vacanciesWednesdayEarnings:Apple, Boeing,Facebook,Qualcomm,Ford,MGM Resorts,Humana,Norfolk Southern,General Dynamics,Boston Scientific, eBay, Samsung Electronics, GlaxoSmithKline,Yum Brands, SiriusXM, Aflac,Cheesecake Factory,Community Health System,CIT Group,Entergy,CME Group,Hess,Ryder System8:30 a.m. Advance economic indicators2:00 p.m. Fed statement2:30 p.m. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell briefingThursdayEarnings:Amazon,Caterpillar,McDonald’s,Twitter,Bristol-Myers Squibb,Comcast,Merck,Northrop Grumman, Airbus,Kraft Heinz,Intercontinental Exchange,Mastercard,Gilead Sciences,U.S. Steel, Cirrus Logic,Texas Roadhouse, Cabot Oil, PG&E,Royal Dutch Shell,Church & Dwight, Carlyle Group,Southern Co.8:30 a.m. Initial jobless claims8:30 a.m. Real GDP Q110:00 a.m. Pending home salesFridayEarnings:ExxonMobil,Chevron,Colgate-Palmolive,AstraZeneca,Clorox,Barclays, AbbVie, BNP Paribas,Weyerhaeuser,Illinois Tool Works, CBOE Global Markets, Lazard,Newell Brands,Aon,LyondellBasell,Pitney Bowes,Phillips 66,Charter Communications8:30 a.m. Personal income and spending8:30 a.m. Employment cost index Q19:45 a.m. Chicago PMI10:00 a.m. Consumer sentimentSaturdayEarnings:Berkshire Hathaway","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":293,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":112444108,"gmtCreate":1622908622804,"gmtModify":1704193206378,"author":{"id":"3579426471617435","authorId":"3579426471617435","name":"osp95","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579426471617435","authorIdStr":"3579426471617435"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment","listText":"Like and comment","text":"Like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/112444108","repostId":"1106312903","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1106312903","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622855773,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1106312903?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-05 09:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. IPO Week Ahead: Digital Payments, Mental Health Services, And More In A Diverse 8 IPO","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1106312903","media":"Renaissance Capital","summary":"Summary\n\nEight IPOs are currently slated to raise $3.7 billion, featuring digital payments, mental h","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Eight IPOs are currently slated to raise $3.7 billion, featuring digital payments, mental health services, and more.</li>\n <li>Payments platform Marqeta plans to raise $1.0 billion at a $12.4 billion market cap.</li>\n <li>Chinese online recruitment platform Kanzhun plans to raise $864 million at an $8.2 billion market cap.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Eight IPOs are currently slated to raise $3.7 billion, featuring digital payments, mental health services, and more.</p>\n<p>Payments platform&nbsp;<b>Marqeta</b>(MQ) plans to raise $1.0 billion at a $12.4 billion market cap.

AMD is forecast to report $1.89 billion in computing and graphics sales, a relatively modest 31% rise from a year ago.</p>\n<p>In early April, shareholders from AMD and Xilinx Inc.&nbsp;approved a $35 billion wrap-up between the two companies. In March, the company announced a&nbsp;new gaming card.</p>\n<p><b>What to expect</b></p>\n<p>Earnings: Of the 34 analysts surveyed by FactSet, AMD on average is expected to post adjusted earnings of 44 cents a share, up from 35 cents a share expected at the beginning of the quarter and 18 cents a share reported in the year-ago period. Estimize, a software platform that crowdsources estimates from hedge-fund executives, brokerages, buy-side analysts and others, calls for earnings of 48 cents a share.</p>\n<p>Revenue: Back in January, AMD predicted first-quarter sales between $3.1 billion and $3.3 billion, while analysts on average had forecast revenue of $2.68 billion at the time. Now, 31 analysts, on average, expect revenue of $3.18 billion, up from the $1.79 billion reported in the year-ago quarter.

AMD\nAdvanced Micro Devices Inc. earnings will serve as an indication if the data-center market is truly in a \"digestion\" phase, as Intel Corp. reported.\nAMD $(AMD)$ is scheduled to report its first-quarter earnings on Tuesday after the close of markets. When Intel $(INTC)$ reported results last week, the market-share leader noted that the market was just bottoming from a \"digestion phase\" as its data-center sales dropped 20% year-over-year.\nAnalysts questioned that characterization of a \"digestion phase,\" however, asking instead if AMD was taking share away from Intel\nWall Street, on average, expects AMD to report $1.3 billion in enterprise, embedded, and semi-custom sales, the segment containing data-center and gaming-console chips, nearly triple the $348 million the company reported in the year-ago period .\nThis all comes amid a continuing shortage of microchips to sate demand from global industries, and the companies that make the silicon wafers chip designs use, work to clear waiting lists that span several months.\nAMD said in its last earnings report that it expected data-center and gaming sales growth to continue well into 2021. AMD is forecast to report $1.89 billion in computing and graphics sales, a relatively modest 31% rise from a year ago.\nIn early April, shareholders from AMD and Xilinx Inc. approved a $35 billion wrap-up between the two companies. In March, the company announced a new gaming card.\nWhat to expect\nEarnings: Of the 34 analysts surveyed by FactSet, AMD on average is expected to post adjusted earnings of 44 cents a share, up from 35 cents a share expected at the beginning of the quarter and 18 cents a share reported in the year-ago period. Estimize, a software platform that crowdsources estimates from hedge-fund executives, brokerages, buy-side analysts and others, calls for earnings of 48 cents a share.\nRevenue: Back in January, AMD predicted first-quarter sales between $3.1 billion and $3.3 billion, while analysts on average had forecast revenue of $2.68 billion at the time. Now, 31 analysts, on average, expect revenue of $3.18 billion, up from the $1.79 billion reported in the year-ago quarter. Estimize expects revenue of $3.25 billion.\nStock movement: In the first quarter, AMD shares fell 14.4%. In contrast, the PHLX Semiconductor Index gained 11.8%, the S&P 500 index gained 5.8%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index rose 2.8%.\nWhat analysts are saying\nSusquehanna Financial analyst Christopher Rolland, who has a positive rating and a $115 price target on AMD, said PC and graphics processing unit checks point to continued strong demand in the first quarter.\n\"While many believe upside is capped by capacity constraints, we believe AMD is quickly becoming [Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.'s (2330.TW)] preferred 'CPU' partner, as Intel's IDM 2.0 strategy appears increasingly competitive to thefoundry,\" Rolland said. \"Therefore, we would not be surprised to see AMD receive more than enough wafers to track toward full-year guidance and perhaps beyond.\"\nMorgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore, who just reinstated estimates for AMD, said he expects strong earnings above the consensus from AMD with \"strong demand across the board, and supply constraints due to substrates and to a lesser extent wafers.\"\nMoore expects fab priority to keep going to high margin products like servers and \"enthusiast desktop microprocessors\" and \"lowest-margin customers that are strategic and sole sourced\" like Microsoft Corp.'s $(MSFT)$ and Sony Group Corp.'s gaming consoles.\n\"With competitors also dealing with supply constraints, overall pricing should be healthy,\" Moore said.

NVIDIA Omniverse</b></h2>\n<p>This summer, NVIDIA will launch Omniverse, a platform that allows clients to build 3D simulations in real time. It connects industry-leading design tools from partners like <b>Autodesk</b> and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a></b>, enabling collaboration in a shared virtual space. This is a big deal for three reasons.</p>\n<p>First, Omniverse will accelerate AI. NVIDIA DRIVE Sim&nbsp;is an Omniverse-powered application that allows clients to generate synthetic driving data. That data can then be used in the real world to train AI models for autonomous vehicles.</p>\n<p>Second, Omniverse is a subscription product. That's noteworthy because semiconductor sales tend to be cyclical, which can cause lumpy revenue growth. But subscription sales are typically recurring in nature, meaning Omniverse could help NVIDIA grow its top line more consistently.</p>\n<p>Third, NVIDIA believes this is a stepping-stone to the Metaverse. If you're unfamiliar with the term, the idea comes from science fiction. The Metaverse refers to a persistent virtual world, a digital reality where people can interact and share experiences.</p>\n<p>Here's the big picture: The virtual reality market will hit $69 billion by 2028, according to Grand View Research. And so far, NVIDIA Omniverse is gaining traction rapidly.

Both advantages should be growth drivers over the coming decade. But will they be enough to eclipse Apple's current market cap of $2.1 trillion?</p>\n<p>No one knows the future, but I think it's possible. Since fiscal 2016 (ended Jan. 31, 2016), NVIDIA's revenue has grown at 29% per year. If it can maintain an annual growth rate of just 17% over the next decade (assuming its price-to-sales ratio remains unchanged), NVIDIA's market cap would reach $2.2 trillion in 2031.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>1 Growth Stock That Could Be Bigger Than Apple</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\">\n1 Growth Stock That Could Be Bigger Than Apple\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-18 08:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/17/1-growth-stock-that-could-be-bigger-than-apple/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>In 1999, NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) invented the graphics processing unit (GPU), a chip that revolutionized the gaming industry.

Both advantages should be growth drivers over the coming decade. But will they be enough to eclipse Apple's current market cap of $2.1 trillion?\nNo one knows the future, but I think it's possible. Since fiscal 2016 (ended Jan. 31, 2016), NVIDIA's revenue has grown at 29% per year. If it can maintain an annual growth rate of just 17% over the next decade (assuming its price-to-sales ratio remains unchanged), NVIDIA's market cap would reach $2.2 trillion in 2031.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":539,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":189705731,"gmtCreate":1623287551323,"gmtModify":1704200078682,"author":{"id":"3579426471617435","authorId":"3579426471617435","name":"osp95","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579426471617435","authorIdStr":"3579426471617435"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comments.

The president addresses a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening.It’s a huge week for earnings with about a third of the S&P 500 reporting, including Big Tech names, such as Apple,Microsoft,Alphabet and Amazon.As many have already done, firms like Boeing, Ford,Caterpillar and McDonald’s, are likely to detail cost pressures they are facing from rising materials and transportation costs and supply chain disruptions.At the same time, the Fed is expected to defend its policy of letting inflation run hot, while assuring markets it sees the pick-up in prices as only temporary. The central bank meets on Tuesday and Wednesday.The central bank takes the main stage“I think the Fed would like not to be a feature next week, but the Fed will be forced from the background because of concerns about inflation,” said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Grant Thornton.The central bank is not expected to make any policy moves, but Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s press briefing following the meeting Wednesday will be closely watched.So far, the barrage of earnings news has been positive, with 86% of companies reporting earnings beats. Corporate profits are expected to be up about 33.9% for the first quarter, based on estimates and actual reports, according to Refinitiv. Revenues are about 9.9% higher.There is important inflation data Friday when the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge is reported.The personal consumption expenditure report is expected to show a 1.8% rise in core inflation, still below the Fed’s target of 2%. Other data releases include the first-quarter gross domestic product on Thursday, which is expected to have grown by 6.5%, according to Dow Jones.“I think the Fed has no urgency to shift monetary policy at this point,” said Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. rates strategy at BMO. “The Fed needs to acknowledge that the data is improving. We had a strong first quarter.”“The Fed needs to acknowledge that but at the same time they’re keeping extremely accommodative policy in place, so they’ll have to make a note to the fact that the easy policy is warranted,” he said.Lyngen said the Fed will likely point to continued concerns about the pandemic globally as a potential risk to the economic recovery.Powell is also expected to once more explain that the Fed will let inflation rise above its 2% target for a period of time before it raises rates so that the economy can have more time to heal. “It’s going to be a challenge for the Fed,” said Swonk.The base effects for the next several months will make inflation appear to have jumped sharply because of the comparison to a weak period last year. The consumer price index for April could be above 3%, compared to 2.6% last month, Swonk added.“The Fed is trying to let a lot more people get out onto the dance floor before it calls ‘last call,’” she said. “Really what Powell has been saying since day one is if we take care of people on the margins and bring them back into the labor force, the rest will take care of itself.”Stocks were slightly lower in the past week, and Treasury yields held at lower levels. The 10-year yield,which moves opposite price, was at 1.55% Friday.The S&P 500was down 0.1%, ending the week at 4,180, while Nasdaq Composite was down nearly 0.3% at 14,016. The Dow was off just shy of 0.5% at 34,043.Tax hike prospectsStocks were hit hard on Thursday when after a news report said that Biden is expected to propose a capital gains tax rate of 39.6% for people earning more than $1 million a year.Combined with the 3.8% net investment income tax, the new levy would more than double the long term capital gains rate of 20% or the richest Americans.Strategists said Biden is expected to propose raising the income tax rate for those earning more than $400,000.“I think a lot of people are starting to price in the risk there going to be a significant increase in both corporate and capital gains taxes,” said Lyngen.So far, companies have not provided much in the way of commentary on the proposed hike in corporate taxes to 28% from 21% but they have been talking about other costs.David Bianco, chief investment strategist for the Americas at DWS, said he expects larger companies will do better dealing with supply chain constraints than smaller ones. Big Tech is also likely to fare better during the semiconductor shortage than auto makers, which have already announced production shutdowns, he said.“Next week is tech week. I think we’re going to get down on our knees and just be in awe of their business models and their ability to grow at a behemoth scale,” Bianco said.He said he’s not in favor of Wall Street’s popular trade into cyclicals and out of growth. He still favors growth.“We’re overweight equities really because we’re concerned about rising interest rates,” Bianco said. “I’m not bullish in that I expect the market to rise that much from here.”“We stuck with growth and dug deeper into bond substitutes, utilities, staples, real estate,” he said, adding he is underweight industrials, energy and materials. “Energy is doomed. It’s being nationalized via regulation. I do like industrials, they are well-run companies, but I do think infrastructure spending expectations for classic infrastructure are too high.”He also said industrials are good businesses, but the stocks have become overvalued.Bianco said he likes big box stores, but smaller retailers are facing big challenges that were already impacting them prior to Covid. He also finds small biotech firms attractive.“I like healthcare stocks. Those valuations are reasonable. People have been paranoid about politicians beating on them since 1992. They manage through it and lately they’ve been delivering,” he said.Week ahead calendarMondayEarnings:Tesla,Canadian National Railway, Canon,Check Point Software,Otis Worldwide, Vale,Ameriprise,NXP Semiconductor,Albertsons, Royal Phillips8:30 a.m. Durable goodsTuesdayFOMC begins two day meetingEarnings:Microsoft,Alphabet,Visa,Amgen,Advanced Micro Devices,3M,General Electric,Eli Lilly, Hasbro,United Parcel Service,BP,Novartis,JetBlue,Pultegroup,Archer Daniels Midland,Waste Management,Starbucks,Texas Instrument,Chubb,Mondelez,FireEye,Corning,Raytheon9:00 a.m. S&P/Case-Shiller9:00 a.m. FHFA home prices10:00 a.m. Consumer confidence10:00 a.m. Housing vacanciesWednesdayEarnings:Apple, Boeing,Facebook,Qualcomm,Ford,MGM Resorts,Humana,Norfolk Southern,General Dynamics,Boston Scientific, eBay, Samsung Electronics, GlaxoSmithKline,Yum Brands, SiriusXM, Aflac,Cheesecake Factory,Community Health System,CIT Group,Entergy,CME Group,Hess,Ryder System8:30 a.m. Advance economic indicators2:00 p.m. Fed statement2:30 p.m. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell briefingThursdayEarnings:Amazon,Caterpillar,McDonald’s,Twitter,Bristol-Myers Squibb,Comcast,Merck,Northrop Grumman, Airbus,Kraft Heinz,Intercontinental Exchange,Mastercard,Gilead Sciences,U.S. Steel, Cirrus Logic,Texas Roadhouse, Cabot Oil, PG&E,Royal Dutch Shell,Church & Dwight, Carlyle Group,Southern Co.8:30 a.m. Initial jobless claims8:30 a.m. Real GDP Q110:00 a.m. Pending home salesFridayEarnings:ExxonMobil,Chevron,Colgate-Palmolive,AstraZeneca,Clorox,Barclays, AbbVie, BNP Paribas,Weyerhaeuser,Illinois Tool Works, CBOE Global Markets, Lazard,Newell Brands,Aon,LyondellBasell,Pitney Bowes,Phillips 66,Charter Communications8:30 a.m. Personal income and spending8:30 a.m. Employment cost index Q19:45 a.m. Chicago PMI10:00 a.m. Consumer sentimentSaturdayEarnings:Berkshire Hathaway","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":293,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":375546180,"gmtCreate":1619369568940,"gmtModify":1704722919495,"author":{"id":"3579426471617435","authorId":"3579426471617435","name":"osp95","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579426471617435","authorIdStr":"3579426471617435"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/375546180","repostId":"1188060568","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":342,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":181290193,"gmtCreate":1623394656112,"gmtModify":1704202427978,"author":{"id":"3579426471617435","authorId":"3579426471617435","name":"osp95","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579426471617435","authorIdStr":"3579426471617435"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment.

No problem.\nMicrosoft said on Thursday (June 10) its Xbox gaming unit is working on new hardware and deals with television makers that will let people play games and experience the Xbox without needing to buy a gaming machine.\nThe news came as Microsoft and other video game industry heavyweights prepare to show off coming titles at an annual Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) being held virtually beginning Saturday due to the pandemic.\n\"As a company, Microsoft is all-in on gaming,\" chief executive Satya Nadella said in introducing the plan.\nThe idea would be to embed the Xbox experience directly into an Internet-connected TV with nothing else needed except for a video game controller, Microsoft said.\nMicrosoft has been playing on the strength of its Xbox unit as it vies with Amazon's Luna and Google's Stadia cloud gaming services.\nThe United States-based technology giant also announced it is building devices that will plug into any television screen or computer monitor to stream Xbox game play without any consoles.\nMicrosoft's latest Xbox consoles, released last fall, remain in short supply amid a chip shortage that is constraining industries from tech to autos and Microsoft has said it expects to continue to feel the squeeze in the coming months.\nMicrosoft declined to provide more details on the hardware or the planned partnerships.\nAs the company tries to smooth and boost revenue flow by getting more customers on to video-game subscriptions that offer access to hundreds of titles and cloud gaming, Microsoft said subscribers to these services are buying even more content besides their monthly fee.\nIn August, Xbox Vice President Sarah Bond said subscribers to Xbox's Game Pass service spend 20 per cent more on extra games and downloadable content.\nNow, that number is up to 50 per cent, Microsoft said in a briefing and blog posts shared with reporters ahead of E3.\nIn an interview, Ms Bond said the increase is probably due to improved quality of the offering and customers getting more familiar with it.\n\"If you look at the evolution of the catalogue over time, the quality of the games, the sophistication of the games, the percentage of games that have a really well-built, in-game monetisation mechanic, people's understanding of the catalogue and the benefit that comes with Game Pass, I think all that's been advancing and contributes,\" she said.\nIn coming weeks, cloud gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions will be possible through Internet browsers Chrome, Edge and Safari, according to Microsoft.\n\"There's still a place for consoles and PCs and frankly, there always will be, but through the cloud, we will be able to deliver a robust gaming experience to anyone connected to the internet,\" said Xbox unit head Phil Spencer.\n\"And with the cloud, gaming players can participate fully in the same Xbox experience as people on local hardware.\"\nXbox Game Pass had some 18 million subscribers worldwide at the end of last year, according to figures released by Mr Nadella.\nVideo game play has surged during the pandemic, as people turned more than ever to the Internet for entertainment.\nOverall consumer spending on video gaming in the United States totalled just shy of US$15 billion (S$19.8 billion) in the first quarter of this year, up 30 per cent from the same period in 2020, according to industry tracker NPD Group.\nMicrosoft will stream an Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase on Sunday, featuring games from its studios around the world.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":604,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":136813666,"gmtCreate":1622004743355,"gmtModify":1704365921693,"author":{"id":"3579426471617435","authorId":"3579426471617435","name":"osp95","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579426471617435","authorIdStr":"3579426471617435"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment pls","listText":"Like and comment pls","text":"Like and comment pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/136813666","repostId":"2138160203","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138160203","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1621995766,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2138160203?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-26 10:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Epic v.

REUTERS/Vicki BehringerVicki Behringer / reuters</p><p>If a hypothetical Epic Games store were to come into the App Store, Apple’s attorney argued that the situation would be unfavorable for Apple, Epic and consumers, with Epic Games having to agree to provide Apple with the code from every game it offers. “So now we have a store, within a store, within a store…”</p><p>The judge also had probing questions for Tim Cook, who made a rare court appearance on Friday. Asked about Apple’s treatment of in-app purchases, and why Apple refuses to allow app developers so much as a mention that customers can make purchases outside of the App Store, Cook said it would take away Apple’s payoff for the effort it makes in acquiring the customer.</p><p>“It would be akin to Apple down at Best Buy saying Best Buy put in a sign there, where you’re advertising that you can go across the street to the Apple store and get an iPhone,” Cook explained in an analogy offered early during his testimony.</p><p>While Wedbush analyst Dan Ives predicted that Apple would win its court battle with Epic, he pointed out that the tech giant has also faced antitrust scrutiny in both the European Union and the U.S. In October, House Democrats issued a damning report on Big Tech finding that the App Store allowed Apple to “generate supra-normal profits.”</p><p>“We continue to believe Apple comes out with a victory in this Game of Thrones battle, but clearly risks exist if the Judge goes against Apple,” Ives said. “We believe Apple winning the Epic case will remove a major overhang on the stock, although Big Tech remains in regulatory scrutiny for years to come.”</p>","source":"yahoofinance","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>Epic v.

How, she asked, could Epic also maintain antitrust claims against Google’s Android when third-party stores are already available on the operating system?Apple CEO Tim Cook testifies on the stand during a weeks-long antitrust trial at federal court in Oakland, California, U.S. May 21, 2021. REUTERS/Vicki BehringerVicki Behringer / reutersIf a hypothetical Epic Games store were to come into the App Store, Apple’s attorney argued that the situation would be unfavorable for Apple, Epic and consumers, with Epic Games having to agree to provide Apple with the code from every game it offers. “So now we have a store, within a store, within a store…”The judge also had probing questions for Tim Cook, who made a rare court appearance on Friday. Asked about Apple’s treatment of in-app purchases, and why Apple refuses to allow app developers so much as a mention that customers can make purchases outside of the App Store, Cook said it would take away Apple’s payoff for the effort it makes in acquiring the customer.“It would be akin to Apple down at Best Buy saying Best Buy put in a sign there, where you’re advertising that you can go across the street to the Apple store and get an iPhone,” Cook explained in an analogy offered early during his testimony.While Wedbush analyst Dan Ives predicted that Apple would win its court battle with Epic, he pointed out that the tech giant has also faced antitrust scrutiny in both the European Union and the U.S. In October, House Democrats issued a damning report on Big Tech finding that the App Store allowed Apple to “generate supra-normal profits.”“We continue to believe Apple comes out with a victory in this Game of Thrones battle, but clearly risks exist if the Judge goes against Apple,” Ives said. “We believe Apple winning the Epic case will remove a major overhang on the stock, although Big Tech remains in regulatory scrutiny for years to come.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":561,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":197070572,"gmtCreate":1621414357796,"gmtModify":1704357239985,"author":{"id":"3579426471617435","authorId":"3579426471617435","name":"osp95","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579426471617435","authorIdStr":"3579426471617435"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmmmm","listText":"Hmmmm","text":"Hmmmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/197070572","repostId":"1156718320","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1156718320","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1621407249,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1156718320?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-19 14:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Buy Apple Before The Upcoming Breakout","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1156718320","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nApple is consolidating in a bullish pattern.\nThe weight of the evidence suggests an upside ","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Apple is consolidating in a bullish pattern.</li>\n <li>The weight of the evidence suggests an upside break, as well as rising EPS estimates.</li>\n <li>With the valuation at pre-pandemic levels, Apple is priced in the favor of the bulls.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0970eb023499c61f67a4ece66a0caebc\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1041\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>Technology stocks, and particularly growth-oriented technology stocks, have been pummeled since February.

The story is the same for the out-years in varying degrees, but the point is that Apple’s revenue continues to move up and to the right, which is unequivocally bullish. It means the company continues to outperform and that the investment community is chasing targets higher. Keep in mind also that for about half of that period, the stock has been treading water, all the while becoming cheaper as estimates rise on a flat share price; more on that in a bit.</p>\n<p>Product sales continue to drive the top line higher, and that will almost certainly continue to be the case as the iPhone remains a favorite among the world’s consumers and businesses. But apart from that, the company’s services revenue continues to move significantly higher, and produce outstanding margins too.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7c13cc8b6877717de7ab03a830f1fe03\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"221\"><span>Source:Q1 earnings release</span></p>\n<p>We all know about Apple’s products and where its services revenue comes from, so I won’t needlessly explain. However, the point is that the upward revisions we saw in revenue above are being driven by devices that get customers to then use the company’s services, which produces an ever-higher value per customer. And while margins are decent on products – 36% in the most recent quarter – they are tremendous on services, which clocked gross margin of 70% in the same period. This is where profit growth is likely to come from in earnest in the decades to come as Apple continues to enhance its services offerings to the benefit of the bottom line.</p>\n<p>Now, let’s take a look at earnings estimates to figure out what we should pay for the stock, and what it may be worth.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/43809254a757d8529f7a8b62ce380996\" tg-width=\"522\" tg-height=\"226\"><span>Source:Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>EPS is moving significantly higher this year on pent-up demand from the pandemic. The reason the stock has been consolidating for months is because market participants knew some time ago that this year would be gangbusters for Apple, and bid the stock up accordingly. That makes growth in the out-years more challenging as the base has soared, and that’s why current estimates for growth in the next couple of years are hardly befitting one of history’s best growth stories.</p>\n<p>However, I think the current level of estimates is too low, not only because analysts have consistently underestimated Apple’s earnings power – as evidenced by the revisions chart above – but because the factors that drive earnings should produce better than ~3% growth, which is a very low bar.</p>\n<p>When looking at EPS growth potential, there are essentially three factors to consider. One way a company can grow EPS is to expand its revenue. A second is to create better margins on its revenue, and the final way is to reduce the float. The combination of these factors is what makes up total EPS growth, and as we’ll see now, I think Apple is being undersold by current estimates.</p>\n<p>Revenue&nbsp;is expected to grow at ~4% for the next two years, followed by much better performances in the out-years. That’s<i>after</i>a 29% gain slated for this fiscal year, so we needn’t worry about the company’s ability to generate top line growth, particularly with plenty of disposable income in the hands of consumers.</p>\n<p>Second, and the least enticing growth lever in my view, is margins. Below is a look at gross margins and SG&amp;A costs, the combination of which produces operating margins.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/28d6d82216e7cca5c81cdbac72db1bc9\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"165\"><span>Source:TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>While Apple has seen incremental improvements in margins over the years, I expect EPS expansion from margins to be minimal, and will be dependent upon what share of revenue services takes. My base case is for margin expansion to add about 1% to the EPS growth rate, with a more bullish scenario seeing it add 2%. For now, I’ll assume 1% and add that to the 4% we had from revenue.</p>\n<p>The final piece of the EPS puzzle is the share count, which we can see below for the past few years.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa1fa7d8926b3343e1f7b056603a5cb5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"><span>Source:TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>Apple has been spending heavily on share repurchases for years under the guidance of Tim Cook, and it shows. The share count has fallen steadily and will continue to do so, with Apple adding$90 billionto its allotment in the most recent earnings. That’s good for ~4% of the float annually and while Apple issues shares as compensation, we can still very easily expect 3%+ in EPS tailwinds from the buyback alone at this run rate.</p>\n<p>In addition, as we can see below, Apple has been spending tens of billions of dollars on repurchases for years, and with its ever-growing free cash flow, there is no reason to think it won’t continue to see higher totals.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b3d3bffb48929c9a9ca2b1019a121a64\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"165\"><span>Source:TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>This trailing-twelve-months view gives us an idea of just how consistently (and how much) Apple believes its own stock is worth investing in, and I fully expect Apple to hit $100 billion in annual share repurchases in the not-too-distant future.</p>\n<p>How? It has very little capex but very large operating cash flows, which are the components of FCF.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6e55bdb4bffd7e2b252e42281085f2f2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"170\"><span>Source:TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>Capex is less than $9 billion (TTM shown above), while operating cash flow hit $99.6 billion on a TTM basis in the most recent quarter. That gives Apple freedom to do pretty much whatever it wants, and remember that this total is much more likely to grow over time than shrink. The dividend is ~$15 billion annually today, so that still leaves $80+ billion in cash Apple can do as it sees fit with. That creates a long-term tailwind to EPS as the company literally has more cash than it can profitably invest in the business (#firstworldproblems).</p>\n<p>And despite this otherworldly spending on buybacks, Apple’s balance sheet is still outstanding.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/74cde7d87b3563aa70bccd4bb5c9318e\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\"><span>Source:TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>Net debt has risen in recent years as the company has returned hundreds of billions of dollars to shareholders and taken on some debt, but on a net basis, debt is still -$70 billion. That means the company can continue to borrow at very low rates if it pleases, and the hurdle rate for the investment of those proceeds is very low. Many companies take on massive amounts of leverage to buy back stock, but Apple has done no such thing, and has a huge runway left on its balance sheet for the years to come.</p>\n<p>The net of all of this is that analysts continue to chase Apple’s actual performance higher.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/42b94de356302d5a8ab101cacaece504\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"284\"><span>Source:Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>The story here is exactly the same as the revenue conversation so I won’t belabor it, but just have a look at those revisions. Perhaps the only thing more bullish than that chart is the table below.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e7472343ce11c52c702c4e86ee55b740\" tg-width=\"453\" tg-height=\"111\"><span>Source:Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>Analysts have made 31 revisions in the past three months, and<i>100%</i>of them were bullish. I’ve personally never seen such a one-sided revision cycle, and if you cannot find bullishness in this, you should check your pulse.</p>\n<p>The bottom line on EPS is that I think we could easily see a 4% tailwind from revenue, a 1% tailwind from margins, and a further 3% from the buyback, all as base cases. That comes to ~8% EPS growth in lean times, which is about 2X what analysts are currently forecasting for 2022 and 2023. If I’m right, the revisions will continue to rise and with it, the share price.</p>\n<p><b>Let’s value this thing</b></p>\n<p>All of this counts for nothing if Apple is priced for the moon, so let’s take a look at how the valuation is faring these days. Below I’ve plotted forward price-to-earnings for the past five years to give us an idea of what’s going on with the valuation.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a09a6e8a86ce76f73fd21a038082af99\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"193\"><span>Source:TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>There is no doubt the valuation has come up a bunch since the post-pandemic rally began. However, Apple’s first shot at a new all-time high last September was accompanied by a high in the valuation at 37X forward earnings. Today, shares go for a much more reasonable 25X forward earnings, which just so happens to be where the stock was trading just prior to the pandemic hitting. In other words, for all the upward revisions we’ve seen, and Apple slated to post a 50%+ gain in EPS this year, the stock is priced exactly the same way it was before the world knew what COVID-19 was. To me, that screams value and with a base case of 8% EPS growth, a dominant market position (to say the least), virtually unlimited cash coming in at any time, and a history of profitable innovation, I think the risk/reward is firmly in favor of the bulls.</p>\n<p>Apple won’t make you rich overnight, but for growth at a reasonable price, it is very difficult to beat.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Buy Apple Before The Upcoming Breakout</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\">\nBuy Apple Before The Upcoming Breakout\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-05-19 14:54 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4429656-buy-apple-before-the-upcoming-breakout><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nApple is consolidating in a bullish pattern.\nThe weight of the evidence suggests an upside break, as well as rising EPS estimates.\nWith the valuation at pre-pandemic levels, Apple is priced ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4429656-buy-apple-before-the-upcoming-breakout\">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/4429656-buy-apple-before-the-upcoming-breakout","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1156718320","content_text":"Summary\n\nApple is consolidating in a bullish pattern.\nThe weight of the evidence suggests an upside break, as well as rising EPS estimates.\nWith the valuation at pre-pandemic levels, Apple is priced in the favor of the bulls.\n\nPhoto by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News via Getty Images\nTechnology stocks, and particularly growth-oriented technology stocks, have been pummeled since February.

That makes growth in the out-years more challenging as the base has soared, and that’s why current estimates for growth in the next couple of years are hardly befitting one of history’s best growth stories.\nHowever, I think the current level of estimates is too low, not only because analysts have consistently underestimated Apple’s earnings power – as evidenced by the revisions chart above – but because the factors that drive earnings should produce better than ~3% growth, which is a very low bar.\nWhen looking at EPS growth potential, there are essentially three factors to consider. One way a company can grow EPS is to expand its revenue. A second is to create better margins on its revenue, and the final way is to reduce the float. The combination of these factors is what makes up total EPS growth, and as we’ll see now, I think Apple is being undersold by current estimates.\nRevenue is expected to grow at ~4% for the next two years, followed by much better performances in the out-years. That’saftera 29% gain slated for this fiscal year, so we needn’t worry about the company’s ability to generate top line growth, particularly with plenty of disposable income in the hands of consumers.\nSecond, and the least enticing growth lever in my view, is margins. Below is a look at gross margins and SG&A costs, the combination of which produces operating margins.\nSource:TIKR.com\nWhile Apple has seen incremental improvements in margins over the years, I expect EPS expansion from margins to be minimal, and will be dependent upon what share of revenue services takes. My base case is for margin expansion to add about 1% to the EPS growth rate, with a more bullish scenario seeing it add 2%. For now, I’ll assume 1% and add that to the 4% we had from revenue.\nThe final piece of the EPS puzzle is the share count, which we can see below for the past few years.\nSource:TIKR.com\nApple has been spending heavily on share repurchases for years under the guidance of Tim Cook, and it shows. The share count has fallen steadily and will continue to do so, with Apple adding$90 billionto its allotment in the most recent earnings. That’s good for ~4% of the float annually and while Apple issues shares as compensation, we can still very easily expect 3%+ in EPS tailwinds from the buyback alone at this run rate.\nIn addition, as we can see below, Apple has been spending tens of billions of dollars on repurchases for years, and with its ever-growing free cash flow, there is no reason to think it won’t continue to see higher totals.\nSource:TIKR.com\nThis trailing-twelve-months view gives us an idea of just how consistently (and how much) Apple believes its own stock is worth investing in, and I fully expect Apple to hit $100 billion in annual share repurchases in the not-too-distant future.\nHow? It has very little capex but very large operating cash flows, which are the components of FCF.\nSource:TIKR.com\nCapex is less than $9 billion (TTM shown above), while operating cash flow hit $99.6 billion on a TTM basis in the most recent quarter. That gives Apple freedom to do pretty much whatever it wants, and remember that this total is much more likely to grow over time than shrink. The dividend is ~$15 billion annually today, so that still leaves $80+ billion in cash Apple can do as it sees fit with. That creates a long-term tailwind to EPS as the company literally has more cash than it can profitably invest in the business (#firstworldproblems).\nAnd despite this otherworldly spending on buybacks, Apple’s balance sheet is still outstanding.\nSource:TIKR.com\nNet debt has risen in recent years as the company has returned hundreds of billions of dollars to shareholders and taken on some debt, but on a net basis, debt is still -$70 billion. That means the company can continue to borrow at very low rates if it pleases, and the hurdle rate for the investment of those proceeds is very low. Many companies take on massive amounts of leverage to buy back stock, but Apple has done no such thing, and has a huge runway left on its balance sheet for the years to come.\nThe net of all of this is that analysts continue to chase Apple’s actual performance higher.\nSource:Seeking Alpha\nThe story here is exactly the same as the revenue conversation so I won’t belabor it, but just have a look at those revisions. Perhaps the only thing more bullish than that chart is the table below.\nSource:Seeking Alpha\nAnalysts have made 31 revisions in the past three months, and100%of them were bullish. I’ve personally never seen such a one-sided revision cycle, and if you cannot find bullishness in this, you should check your pulse.\nThe bottom line on EPS is that I think we could easily see a 4% tailwind from revenue, a 1% tailwind from margins, and a further 3% from the buyback, all as base cases. That comes to ~8% EPS growth in lean times, which is about 2X what analysts are currently forecasting for 2022 and 2023. If I’m right, the revisions will continue to rise and with it, the share price.\nLet’s value this thing\nAll of this counts for nothing if Apple is priced for the moon, so let’s take a look at how the valuation is faring these days. Below I’ve plotted forward price-to-earnings for the past five years to give us an idea of what’s going on with the valuation.\nSource:TIKR.com\nThere is no doubt the valuation has come up a bunch since the post-pandemic rally began. However, Apple’s first shot at a new all-time high last September was accompanied by a high in the valuation at 37X forward earnings. Today, shares go for a much more reasonable 25X forward earnings, which just so happens to be where the stock was trading just prior to the pandemic hitting. In other words, for all the upward revisions we’ve seen, and Apple slated to post a 50%+ gain in EPS this year, the stock is priced exactly the same way it was before the world knew what COVID-19 was. To me, that screams value and with a base case of 8% EPS growth, a dominant market position (to say the least), virtually unlimited cash coming in at any time, and a history of profitable innovation, I think the risk/reward is firmly in favor of the bulls.\nApple won’t make you rich overnight, but for growth at a reasonable price, it is very difficult to beat.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":600,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":190206951,"gmtCreate":1620620702473,"gmtModify":1704345677592,"author":{"id":"3579426471617435","authorId":"3579426471617435","name":"osp95","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579426471617435","authorIdStr":"3579426471617435"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment pls.

But finding a growth stock that can live up to its true potential can be a tough task.In addition to volatility, these stocks carry above-average risk by their very nature. Also, one could end up losing from a stock whose growth story is actually over or nearing its end.However, the task of finding cutting-edge growth stocks is made easy with the help of the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of theZacks Style Scoressystem), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects.Facebook (FB) is on the list of such stocks currently recommended by our proprietary system. In addition to a favorable Growth Score, it carries a top Zacks Rank.Studies have shown that stocks with the best growth features consistently outperform the market. And for stocks that have a combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), returns are even better.While there are numerous reasons why the stock of this social media company is a great growth pick right now, we have highlighted three of the most important factors below:Earnings GrowthArguably nothing is more important than earnings growth, as surging profit levels is what most investors are after. For growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is highly preferable, as it is often perceived as an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration.While the historical EPS growth rate for Facebook is 28.4%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 29.4% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 27.4%.Cash Flow GrowthCash is the lifeblood of any business, but higher-than-average cash flow growth is more beneficial and important for growth-oriented companies than for mature companies. That's because, high cash accumulation enables these companies to undertake new projects without raising expensive outside funds.Right now, year-over-year cash flow growth for Facebook is 48.6%, which is higher than many of its peers. In fact, the rate compares to the industry average of -2.1%.While investors should actually consider the current cash flow growth, it's worth taking a look at the historical rate too for putting the current reading into proper perspective. The company's annualized cash flow growth rate has been 42.3% over the past 3-5 years versus the industry average of 17.1%.Promising Earnings Estimate RevisionsBeyond the metrics outlined above, investors should consider the trend in earnings estimate revisions. A positive trend is a plus here. Empirical research shows that there is a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.The current-year earnings estimates for Facebook have been revising upward. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 16.3% over the past month.Bottom LineFacebook has not only earned a Growth Score of A based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above, but it also carries a Zacks Rank #1 because of the positive earnings estimate revisions.This combination indicates that Facebook is a potential outperformer and a solid choice for growth investors.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":312,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":101602357,"gmtCreate":1619886673879,"gmtModify":1704336071565,"author":{"id":"3579426471617435","authorId":"3579426471617435","name":"osp95","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579426471617435","authorIdStr":"3579426471617435"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment pls.
