FINANCE.</span></p><p>The midday decline came amid reports that the Biden administration would propose tax increases on high-income taxpayers. The proposal targets a provision that long-term investors have taken advantage of for decades: the favorable&nbsp;tax rate on capital gains, the profits they realize when they sell stocks or other investments.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eeff2a6b63b58cdea2311005593d3979\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1332\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.</span></p><p><b>What taxes could go up, and on whom?</b></p><p>The proposal, as reported, would affect the way long-term capital gains get taxed for those with incomes above $1 million. Currently, investors pay the same tax rates on short-term capital gains on investments held for a year or less as they do on most other forms of income, such as wages and salaries or interest. However, if an investor holds onto an investment for longer than a year and then sells it, long-term capital-gains tax treatment applies.</p><p>Although the brackets aren't exactly aligned, in general, those who pay 10% or 12% in tax on ordinary income pay 0% on their long-term capital gains. Those paying 22% to 35% typically pay a 15% long-term capital-gains tax, while top-bracket taxpayers whose ordinary income tax rate is 37% have a 20% maximum rate on their investment gains for assets held long term.</p><p>Under the proposed new rules, favorable tax treatment for long-term capital gains would remain completely in place for everyone in the first two groups and even for many in the third group. However, for taxpayers with incomes above $1 million, the lower long-term capital-gains tax rates would go away and they'd instead have to pay ordinary income tax rates on those gains, as well.</p><p><b>Why investors shouldn't be surprised</b></p><p>The reported proposal isn't a new one. Biden&nbsp;discussed it during the 2020 presidential campaign&nbsp;as one of the aspects of his broader tax plan. It's likely that the final version of any actual bill introduced in Congress would also include an increase in the top tax bracket to 39.6%, which was the level in effect immediately before tax-reform efforts made major changes to tax laws for the 2018 tax year.</p><p>Moreover, the legislation is far from a done deal. Even with Democrats having control of both houses of Congress and the White House, the margins are razor-thin. Already, some Democratic lawmakers have balked at tax-policy proposals, and in the Senate, the loss of even a single vote would be sufficient to prevent a tax bill from becoming law.</p><p><b>Is a stock market crash imminent?</b></p><p>It's understandable that investors would worry that a capital-gains tax hike might cause the stock market to drop. If investors sell their stocks now to lock in current lower rates, it could create short-term selling pressure. In the long run, though, the fundamentals of underlying businesses should still control share-price movements.</p><p>Moreover, this wouldn't be the first time capital-gains taxes have risen. In 2012, maximum capital-gains rates rose from 15% to 20%. Yet that didn't stop U.S. stocks from continuing what would eventually become a decade-long bull market.</p><p>Tax-law changes require some planning, but investors shouldn't change their entire investing strategy because of taxes. Letting them&nbsp;<i>define</i>&nbsp;how you invest can be a huge mistake and distract you from the task of finding the best companies and owning their shares for the long haul.</p><p>Read more:<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/NW/1180283228\" target=\"_blank\">Stocks Will Get Over Their Big Biden Tax Wobble</a></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Would Tax Hikes Spell Doom for the Stock Market?</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\">\nWould Tax Hikes Spell Doom for the Stock Market?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-23 15:10 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/22/would-tax-hikes-spell-doom-for-the-stock-market/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Investors got spooked by a potential boost to capital-gains rates for high-income taxpayers.The stock market had a turbulent day on Thursday, with initial gains during the first half of the trading ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/22/would-tax-hikes-spell-doom-for-the-stock-market/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".SPX":"S&P 500 Index",".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite",".DJI":"道琼斯"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/22/would-tax-hikes-spell-doom-for-the-stock-market/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1128911279","content_text":"Investors got spooked by a potential boost to capital-gains rates for high-income taxpayers.The stock market had a turbulent day on Thursday, with initial gains during the first half of the trading session giving way to sharper losses in the mid-afternoon.

The proposal targets a provision that long-term investors have taken advantage of for decades: the favorable tax rate on capital gains, the profits they realize when they sell stocks or other investments.IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.What taxes could go up, and on whom?The proposal, as reported, would affect the way long-term capital gains get taxed for those with incomes above $1 million. Currently, investors pay the same tax rates on short-term capital gains on investments held for a year or less as they do on most other forms of income, such as wages and salaries or interest. However, if an investor holds onto an investment for longer than a year and then sells it, long-term capital-gains tax treatment applies.Although the brackets aren't exactly aligned, in general, those who pay 10% or 12% in tax on ordinary income pay 0% on their long-term capital gains. Those paying 22% to 35% typically pay a 15% long-term capital-gains tax, while top-bracket taxpayers whose ordinary income tax rate is 37% have a 20% maximum rate on their investment gains for assets held long term.Under the proposed new rules, favorable tax treatment for long-term capital gains would remain completely in place for everyone in the first two groups and even for many in the third group. However, for taxpayers with incomes above $1 million, the lower long-term capital-gains tax rates would go away and they'd instead have to pay ordinary income tax rates on those gains, as well.Why investors shouldn't be surprisedThe reported proposal isn't a new one. Biden discussed it during the 2020 presidential campaign as one of the aspects of his broader tax plan. It's likely that the final version of any actual bill introduced in Congress would also include an increase in the top tax bracket to 39.6%, which was the level in effect immediately before tax-reform efforts made major changes to tax laws for the 2018 tax year.Moreover, the legislation is far from a done deal. Even with Democrats having control of both houses of Congress and the White House, the margins are razor-thin. Already, some Democratic lawmakers have balked at tax-policy proposals, and in the Senate, the loss of even a single vote would be sufficient to prevent a tax bill from becoming law.Is a stock market crash imminent?It's understandable that investors would worry that a capital-gains tax hike might cause the stock market to drop. If investors sell their stocks now to lock in current lower rates, it could create short-term selling pressure. In the long run, though, the fundamentals of underlying businesses should still control share-price movements.Moreover, this wouldn't be the first time capital-gains taxes have risen. In 2012, maximum capital-gains rates rose from 15% to 20%. Yet that didn't stop U.S. stocks from continuing what would eventually become a decade-long bull market.Tax-law changes require some planning, but investors shouldn't change their entire investing strategy because of taxes. Letting them define how you invest can be a huge mistake and distract you from the task of finding the best companies and owning their shares for the long haul.Read more:Stocks Will Get Over Their Big Biden Tax Wobble","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":236,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":372194263,"gmtCreate":1619184768452,"gmtModify":1704720930967,"author":{"id":"3579466752370045","authorId":"3579466752370045","name":"Tanji","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81efe8ea183088ef9acfcfc53fe5176a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579466752370045","authorIdStr":"3579466752370045"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/372194263","repostId":"2129035447","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2129035447","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1619184351,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2129035447?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-23 21:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3M Earnings Preview: Here's What to Expect","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2129035447","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Analyzing the investment case for 3M and why the upcoming results will be very closely followed.","content":"<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MMM\">3M</a></b> (NYSE:MMM) is a company and a stock under pressure.

However, what is clear is that 3M's earnings report will be messy, and if you are looking for strong evidence that the turnaround is showing in the numbers, you are unlikely to find it in the upcoming results.\nThere is a strong case for buying/holding the stock, but management needs to start delivering in 2021, particularly in the healthcare segment.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":318,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":372195626,"gmtCreate":1619184716865,"gmtModify":1704720928817,"author":{"id":"3579466752370045","authorId":"3579466752370045","name":"Tanji","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81efe8ea183088ef9acfcfc53fe5176a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579466752370045","authorIdStr":"3579466752370045"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow! ??","listText":"Wow! ??","text":"Wow! ??","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f10c3a40887a1cc617973320f2ef4f8","width":"1125","height":"2662"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/372195626","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":228,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":376180025,"gmtCreate":1619097575667,"gmtModify":1704719588698,"author":{"id":"3579466752370045","authorId":"3579466752370045","name":"Tanji","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81efe8ea183088ef9acfcfc53fe5176a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579466752370045","authorIdStr":"3579466752370045"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"??Tesla&nbsp;","listText":"??Tesla&nbsp;","text":"??Tesla","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f44503000981ffc2b30ce8eeaf4281db","width":"1125","height":"2831"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/376180025","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":376,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":378255725,"gmtCreate":1619047613367,"gmtModify":1704718689172,"author":{"id":"3579466752370045","authorId":"3579466752370045","name":"Tanji","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81efe8ea183088ef9acfcfc53fe5176a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579466752370045","authorIdStr":"3579466752370045"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">$ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK)$</a>??","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">$ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK)$</a>??","text":"$ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK)$??","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b03104dde8cfa9f75949c9b77605ab79","width":"1284","height":"2223"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/378255725","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":196,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":352758342,"gmtCreate":1617007218086,"gmtModify":1704800734381,"author":{"id":"3579466752370045","authorId":"3579466752370045","name":"Tanji","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81efe8ea183088ef9acfcfc53fe5176a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579466752370045","authorIdStr":"3579466752370045"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yes","listText":"Yes","text":"Yes","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/352758342","repostId":"1111732743","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1111732743","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617007087,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1111732743?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-29 16:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Can Silicon Valley Beat China In Clean Energy Tech?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1111732743","media":"Oilprice","summary":"Many investors are already aware of the fact that China is the world's most dominant player in the s","content":"<p>Many investors are already aware of the fact that China is the world's most dominant player in the solar and clean energy sector. 8 out of 10 biggest manufacturers of solar equipment are Chinese with<b>First Solar</b>(NASDAQ:FSLR) and<b>SunPower</b>(NASDAQ:SPWR) the only American representatives among the elite.It's not for lack of trying, though—Silicon Valley pumped tens of billions of dollars in clean energy ventures during the first wave of the renewable energy transition that started halfway through the first decade of the new millennium.</p>\n<p>Yet, Clean tech 1.0 was a disaster, a fact that still lingers like a bruise on the amygdala of investors from a decade and a half ago.</p>\n<p>According to PwC, of the $25 billion invested by venture capitalists in the clean-tech sector between 2006 and 2011, about half got wiped out.

However, Wall Street is saying this time it's different because entrepreneurs have a better understanding of what it takes and are also backed by deep-pocketed corporate investors looking to decarbonize their operations as well as friendly governments.\nIt's a one-way street that investors will have to travel.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":312,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":352758076,"gmtCreate":1617007208395,"gmtModify":1704800733892,"author":{"id":"3579466752370045","authorId":"3579466752370045","name":"Tanji","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81efe8ea183088ef9acfcfc53fe5176a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579466752370045","authorIdStr":"3579466752370045"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/352758076","repostId":"1119229530","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":237,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":352751276,"gmtCreate":1617007189195,"gmtModify":1704800733409,"author":{"id":"3579466752370045","authorId":"3579466752370045","name":"Tanji","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81efe8ea183088ef9acfcfc53fe5176a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579466752370045","authorIdStr":"3579466752370045"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"GameStop hmmm&nbsp;","listText":"GameStop hmmm&nbsp;","text":"GameStop hmmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/352751276","repostId":"2122230447","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":242,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":352751147,"gmtCreate":1617007173089,"gmtModify":1704800732923,"author":{"id":"3579466752370045","authorId":"3579466752370045","name":"Tanji","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81efe8ea183088ef9acfcfc53fe5176a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579466752370045","authorIdStr":"3579466752370045"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"What is this?","listText":"What is this?","text":"What is this?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/352751147","repostId":"1141686975","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1141686975","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":1616780260,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1141686975?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-27 01:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Zhihu Technology fall on its first day of trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1141686975","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Zhihu Technology shares opened at $8.02 each on Friday, about 15.6% lower than the company’s IPO pri","content":"<p>Zhihu Technology shares opened at $8.02&nbsp;each on Friday, about 15.6% lower than the company’s IPO price&nbsp;$9.5.Zhihu IPO prices at low end of the range, valuing company at about $5.3 billion.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4672a089b4ebb0a889cbfbeb32b48594\" tg-width=\"1920\" tg-height=\"959\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p>Zhihu Inc.&nbsp;announced Friday the pricing of its initial public offering, at $9.50 per American depositary share, which was at the low end of the expected range.

The China-based online content company offered 55 million ADS in the IPO to raise $522.5 million, while the pricing valued the company at about $5.31 billion.Zhihu has a similar business model as Quora where millions of people ask questions and exchange their views and experiences. Zhihu has become the largest online question and answer community in China.Sales BreakdownAdvertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. We estimate advertising as a percentage of revenues to gradually decline in the next five years as it is offset by the faster growing Paid Memberships and Content Commerce Solutions. We estimate advertising as a percentage of sales to decline to 34.1% in 2021 and 22.3% in 2025.Paid Memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. We have assumed Paid Membership revenues as a percentage of total revenues to increase to 31.5% in 2021 and 37.8% in 2025.Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans. We have assumed Content Commerce Solutions as a percentage of total revenue to jump from 10% in 2020 to 17.8% in 2021 and 32.3% in 2025.Gross MarginsThe company's gross margins improved from 46.6% in 2019 to 56.0% in 2020, driven by an overall improving business scalability. We have assumed further improvements in gross margins to 57.4% in 2021 and 62.3% in 2025.Total Operating Expenses and Operating MarginsTotal operating expenses as a percentage of revenues declined significantly from 204.4% in 2019 to 100.6% in 2020. We expect this ratio to improve further to 79% in 2021, 69.2% in 2022, and 57.2% in 2025. The bulk of the improvements in operating expenses is coming from lower SG&A and R&D expenses as a percentage of revenues in the next five years.Company BackgroundAt the end of 2020, Zhihu had more than 43.1 million cumulative content creators that contributed 315 million questions and answers. In 4Q 2020, the company had 75.7 million average monthly active users, up 33% YoY. One of the key strengths of the company is that it is recognized as one of the most trustworthy online content communities and regarded as providing one of the highest quality content in China. Zhihu has tried to capitalize on its large user base to provide numerous multimedia functions including live streaming, e-commerce, online education, and other video content.In August 2019, Zhihu received $434 million in funding from leading investors including Baidu and Kuaishou Technology, valuing the company at $3.5 billion. Given that the company had $97 million in sales in 2019, this would suggest a P/S valuation multiple of 36x. If we take the same P/S multiple apply to the company's 2020 sales of $207 million, this would suggest an implied valuation of $7.5 billion.Zhihu was originally developed as a question and answer online community in 2010. At the end of 2020, there were a total of 315 million Q&As spanning more than 1,000 verticals and 571,000 topics.

But it's going to take some time,\" Nolte added. \"It's different from flipping on a light switch.\"The break-even rate on five-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities $(TIPS)$ touched their highest levels since 2011 and 2013, respectively.\"There's still some push and pull as to whether the market believes inflation is transitory or something that's going to stick around,\" Nolte said.Inflation concerns will be in the minds of investors when the Labor Department releases its latest CPI report on Wednesday.A shutdown to halt a ransomware attack on the Colonial Pipeline entered its fourth day, hobbling a network which transports nearly half of the East Coast's fuel supplies.The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 34.94 points, or 0.1%, to 34,742.82, the S&P 500 lost 44.17 points, or 1.04%, to 4,188.43 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 350.38 points, or 2.55%, to 13,401.86.Of the 11 major sectors in the S&P 500, six closed red.

Of those, 87% have beaten consensus expectations, according to Refinitiv IBES.Analysts now see year-on-year S&P earnings growth of 50.4% on aggregate, more than double the rate forecast at the beginning of April and significantly better than the 16% first-quarter growth expected on January 1, per RefinitivHotel operator Marriott International Inc missed quarterly profit and revenue expectations due to weak U.S. bookings which offset a rebound in China.

Wednesda","content":"<p>TAIPEI (Reuters) -Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (TSMC) shares fell nearly 3% on Wednesday after Intel Corp announced a $20 billion plan to expand its advanced chip manufacturing capacity, even as Taiwan’s economy minister sought to downplay the impact.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/48c2607f9c15869e7dfab9310342a994\" tg-width=\"853\" tg-height=\"649\">Intel said on Tuesday it will build two factories in Arizona and open its plants to outside customers, directly challenging the two other companies in the world that can make the most advanced chips - TSMC and South Korea’s Samsung Electronics Co Ltd.</p>\n<p>Shares in TSMC, the world’s largest contract chip manufacturer with clients including Apple Inc and Qualcomm Inc, fell as much as 3.9% on Wednesday morning, compared with a drop of around 1% on the broader market.</p>\n<p>TSMC announced plans in May to build its own $12 billion factory in Arizona, in an apparent win by the then-Trump administration in its push to wrestle global tech supply chains back from China.</p>\n<p>Taiwan Economy Minister Wang Mei-hua said Intel’s plan was “not a challenge” to the island’s formidable semiconductor industry.</p>\n<p>“First of all I believe that our whole semiconductor ecosystem is very good, and secondly our manufacturers are awesome, and are continually advancing their technology,” she said.</p>\n<p>Wang said she would be happy to see Taiwan-U.S. cooperation on semiconductors “but of course we still hope they can increase their investment in Taiwan”.</p>\n<p>LONG-TERM IMPACT?</p>\n<p>The move by Intel’s new Chief Executive Pat Gelsinger aims to restore Intel’s reputation after manufacturing stumbles sent shares plunging last year.</p>\n<p>Sherman Shang, a research analyst at Fubon Securities Investment Services in Taipei, said Intel had tried to do this before without much success and that “fundamentally” the new plan was no different, meaning TSMC should be unaffected, and its advanced technology was difficult to match in any case.</p>\n<p>“The Intel CEO is living in a previous era, and it’s quite hard for them to catch up on manufacturing,” he said.</p>\n<p>But Mega International Investment Services analyst Alex Huang was more circumspect.</p>\n<p>“As Intel’s new chip fabs come online, TSMC will be under pressure to evaluate its future operating prospects and this will affect TSMC’s long-term competitiveness,” he said.</p>\n<p>TSMC, like other technology firms, has benefited from the work-and-study-from-home trend globally during the COVID-19 pandemic, as people rushed to buy laptops, tablets and other equipment.</p>\n<p>In January it posted its best-ever quarterly profit, for the fourth quarter of last year, and hiked revenue and capital spending estimates to record levels as it forecast “multiple years of growth opportunities”.</p>\n<p>It is hugely profitable thanks to its gold standard foundry technology, with a gross profit margin of more than 50%, and plans record capital spending on the production and development of advanced chips of between $25 billion-$28 billion this year, as much as 60% higher than the amount it spent in 2020.</p>\n<p>TSMC’s shares have gained almost 10% so far this year, giving it a market value of about $542 billion.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\"

(Reuters) -Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (TSMC) shares fell nearly 3% on Wednesday after Intel Corp announced a $20 billion plan to expand its advanced chip manufacturing capacity, even as Taiwan’s economy minister sought to downplay the impact.\nIntel said on Tuesday it will build two factories in Arizona and open its plants to outside customers, directly challenging the two other companies in the world that can make the most advanced chips - TSMC and South Korea’s Samsung Electronics Co Ltd.\nShares in TSMC, the world’s largest contract chip manufacturer with clients including Apple Inc and Qualcomm Inc, fell as much as 3.9% on Wednesday morning, compared with a drop of around 1% on the broader market.\nTSMC announced plans in May to build its own $12 billion factory in Arizona, in an apparent win by the then-Trump administration in its push to wrestle global tech supply chains back from China.\nTaiwan Economy Minister Wang Mei-hua said Intel’s plan was “not a challenge” to the island’s formidable semiconductor industry.\n“First of all I believe that our whole semiconductor ecosystem is very good, and secondly our manufacturers are awesome, and are continually advancing their technology,” she said.\nWang said she would be happy to see Taiwan-U.S. cooperation on semiconductors “but of course we still hope they can increase their investment in Taiwan”.\nLONG-TERM IMPACT?\nThe move by Intel’s new Chief Executive Pat Gelsinger aims to restore Intel’s reputation after manufacturing stumbles sent shares plunging last year.\nSherman Shang, a research analyst at Fubon Securities Investment Services in Taipei, said Intel had tried to do this before without much success and that “fundamentally” the new plan was no different, meaning TSMC should be unaffected, and its advanced technology was difficult to match in any case.\n“The Intel CEO is living in a previous era, and it’s quite hard for them to catch up on manufacturing,” he said.\nBut Mega International Investment Services analyst Alex Huang was more circumspect.\n“As Intel’s new chip fabs come online, TSMC will be under pressure to evaluate its future operating prospects and this will affect TSMC’s long-term competitiveness,” he said.\nTSMC, like other technology firms, has benefited from the work-and-study-from-home trend globally during the COVID-19 pandemic, as people rushed to buy laptops, tablets and other equipment.\nIn January it posted its best-ever quarterly profit, for the fourth quarter of last year, and hiked revenue and capital spending estimates to record levels as it forecast “multiple years of growth opportunities”.\nIt is hugely profitable thanks to its gold standard foundry technology, with a gross profit margin of more than 50%, and plans record capital spending on the production and development of advanced chips of between $25 billion-$28 billion this year, as much as 60% higher than the amount it spent in 2020.\nTSMC’s shares have gained almost 10% so far this year, giving it a market value of about $542 billion.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":194,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":353869417,"gmtCreate":1616482115039,"gmtModify":1704794648873,"author":{"id":"3579466752370045","authorId":"3579466752370045","name":"Tanji","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81efe8ea183088ef9acfcfc53fe5176a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579466752370045","authorIdStr":"3579466752370045"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"????","listText":"????","text":"????","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/353869417","repostId":"2121063501","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":97,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":353869994,"gmtCreate":1616481972418,"gmtModify":1704794648389,"author":{"id":"3579466752370045","authorId":"3579466752370045","name":"Tanji","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81efe8ea183088ef9acfcfc53fe5176a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579466752370045","authorIdStr":"3579466752370045"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

However, what is clear is that 3M's earnings report will be messy, and if you are looking for strong evidence that the turnaround is showing in the numbers, you are unlikely to find it in the upcoming results.\nThere is a strong case for buying/holding the stock, but management needs to start delivering in 2021, particularly in the healthcare segment.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":318,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":353869886,"gmtCreate":1616482059745,"gmtModify":1704794648550,"author":{"id":"3579466752370045","authorId":"3579466752370045","name":"Tanji","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81efe8ea183088ef9acfcfc53fe5176a","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579466752370045","authorIdStr":"3579466752370045"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/353869886","repostId":"1115438167","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1115438167","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":1616423750,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1115438167?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-22 22:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Some “meme” stocks are slipping","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1115438167","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Some “meme” stocks are slipping in Monday trading,AMC Entertainment stock fall 13%,the shares of Sundial Growers drop 7%,GameStop Corp. stock is down 2%.These stocks are identified as a potential gamble using methodology from recently published research paper—from Alok Kumar of the University of Miami, Houng Nguyen of the University of Danang, and Talis Putnins at the University of Technology Sydney and Stockholm School of Economics.

Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. We estimate advertising as a percentage of revenues to gradually decline in the next five years as it is offset by the faster growing Paid Memberships and Content Commerce Solutions. We estimate advertising as a percentage of sales to decline to 34.1% in 2021 and 22.3% in 2025.</p><p>Paid Memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. We have assumed Paid Membership revenues as a percentage of total revenues to increase to 31.5% in 2021 and 37.8% in 2025.</p><p>Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans. We have assumed Content Commerce Solutions as a percentage of total revenue to jump from 10% in 2020 to 17.8% in 2021 and 32.3% in 2025.</p><p><b>Gross Margins</b></p><p>The company's gross margins improved from 46.6% in 2019 to 56.0% in 2020, driven by an overall improving business scalability. We have assumed further improvements in gross margins to 57.4% in 2021 and 62.3% in 2025.</p><p><b>Total Operating Expenses and Operating Margins</b></p><p>Total operating expenses as a percentage of revenues declined significantly from 204.4% in 2019 to 100.6% in 2020. We expect this ratio to improve further to 79% in 2021, 69.2% in 2022, and 57.2% in 2025. The bulk of the improvements in operating expenses is coming from lower SG&amp;A and R&amp;D expenses as a percentage of revenues in the next five years.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c019cc86f4d4c1d9ffe15d3b4a4bfa75\" tg-width=\"772\" tg-height=\"480\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ef629be32d2c34d625cb287ad648206d\" tg-width=\"757\" tg-height=\"488\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b9561a02993fbc88c2cad88e68c08730\" tg-width=\"920\" tg-height=\"485\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><b>Company Background</b></p><p>At the end of 2020, Zhihu had more than 43.1 million cumulative content creators that contributed 315 million questions and answers. In 4Q 2020, the company had 75.7 million average monthly active users, up 33% YoY. One of the key strengths of the company is that it is recognized as one of the most trustworthy online content communities and regarded as providing one of the highest quality content in China. Zhihu has tried to capitalize on its large user base to provide numerous multimedia functions including live streaming, e-commerce, online education, and other video content.</p><p>In August 2019, Zhihu received $434 million in funding from leading investors including Baidu and Kuaishou Technology, valuing the company at $3.5 billion. Given that the company had $97 million in sales in 2019, this would suggest a P/S valuation multiple of 36x. If we take the same P/S multiple apply to the company's 2020 sales of $207 million, this would suggest an implied valuation of $7.5 billion.</p><p>Zhihu was originally developed as a question and answer online community in 2010. At the end of 2020, there were a total of 315 million Q&amp;As spanning more than 1,000 verticals and 571,000 topics. Zhihu is one of the top five comprehensive online content communities in China, in terms of average mobile MAUs and revenue in 2020. The company uses artificial intelligence, cloud, and big data algorithms to improve the optimization of its content and services.</p><p><b>Major Shareholders of Zhihu</b></p><p>The founder &amp; CEO&nbsp;Zhou Yuanowns an 8.2% stake in the company (but 46.6% voting rights). Sinovation Ventures owns a 13.1% stake and Tencent Holdings Ltd. owns a 12.3% stake of Zhihu.</p><p><b>Key Demographics</b></p><p>The diagram below provides some of the key demographics of Zhihu user base.

Many of the users of Zhihu are students and white collar professionals.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/524d689472daad1c99491d74dfdbfe24\" tg-width=\"295\" tg-height=\"389\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><b>Revenue Breakdown</b></p><p>Advertising and paid memberships account for the biggest portion of the company's revenues. Advertising accounted for 86.1% and 62.4% of total revenues in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The company's advertising revenue is mainly driven by its MAUs and advertising revenue per MAU. The company's MAUs increased by 42.7% YoY to 68.5 million in 2020. The company started its online advertising business in 2016 and introduced paid content in 2018.</p><p>Paid memberships represented 13.1% of total revenues in 2019, which increased to 23.7% of total revenues in 2020. Average monthly members jumped by 311.5% YoY to 2.36 million in 2020, which is a testament of an increasing number of customers that value the premium content available on Zhihu.</p><p>In March 2019, the company introduced the Yan Selection membership program, making it the first payment-based questions &amp; answers community. It provides its members with unlimited access to about 3.4 million paid content including online lectures, columns, audio books, and e-journals. This is one of the biggest strengths of the company as it shows how high quality data and content can generate serious amount of revenues and it also provides a more steady monthly revenue inflow.</p><p>Content Commerce Solutions and Other sales also increased sharply in 2020. Content Commerce Solutions revenues jumped from 0.6 million RMB in 2019 to 135.8 million RMB in 2020. In early 2020, the company launched Content-Commerce solutions, which provide merchants and brands a one-stop shop for all of their sales and marketing needs, including marketing plans, assigning the most relevant content creators to interested users, and facilitating content creation.</p><p>China's content-commerce solution market is expected to be one of the fastest growing sectors in the next several years. According to CIC Consultancy, China's content-commerce solution market is expected to enjoy a strong CAGR growth of 46.4% from 2019 to 2025 (112.3 billion RMB).</p><p><b>Market Opportunities</b></p><p><b>China’s Online Content Communities Market Size</b></p><p>Online content communities refer to UGC (user generated content)-focused (including PUGC (professional user generated content) focused online content market players where content creators are also users, who are actively engaged within the communities. The content communities generally can stimulate higher level of user engagement, more interactive user experience, and enjoy lower content cost, compared to PGC (professionally generated content) players. PGC is content created by the branded company or organization.</p><p>China's online content communities market size increased from 38.6 billion RMB in 2015 to 275.8 billion RMB in 2019 and is further expected to rise to 1.3 trillion RMB in 2025, representing a CAGR of 30.3% from 2019 to 2025, which is higher than the overall online content market growth.</p><p>China's online content community market has more diversified monetization channels including online advertising, paid membership, content e-commerce, content-commerce solutions, virtual gifting in live streaming, online games, and online education services.
