The company's report surprised to the downside, noting subscriber losses for the first time in a long while and offering guidance that the weakness would continue through the second quarter. The stock price dropped precipitously in the days following the release, and the stock is down about 38% in the last five days alone.</p><p>In conjunction with Netflix's drop, investors decided to sell other consumer internet companies, even if they don't compete in the video-streaming business. This has provided long-term investors the potential to buy some high-quality businesses at discounts. Here are two such stocks.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F675689%2Fwoman-listening-to-music.jpg&w=700&op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>1. Spotify</h2><p><b>Spotify</b>Ā is the leading audio-streaming application around the world. The company has 180 million premium subscribers to the ad-free version of the music service and 406 million total monthly active users (MAUs). These numbers have grown steadily since Spotify's debut on the public markets in early 2018. In the fourth quarter of 2017, MAUs totaled 160 million and premium subscribers were 71 million, meaning that Spotify has more than doubled both numbers in five years. Over the long term, management thinks it can reach over 1 billion MAUs.</p><p>The majority of Spotify's business right now is premium music streaming. In the fourth quarter of 2021, premium subscriptions grew revenue by 22% year over year to $2.5 billion, for a $10 billion annual run rate.</p><p>The premium business has a lot of growth ahead, but the highlight for Spotify right now is advertising, which grew 40% year over year in the fourth quarter to $427 million. Advertising is booming because of Spotify's huge embrace of podcasts and the launch of its dynamic advertising marketplace called the Spotify <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADNC\">Audience</a> Network (SPAN) where advertisers can easily advertise across music and podcasts.</p><p>Spotify is now the market leader in podcasts in many key countries around the world, and the industry is expected to grow at a double-digit rate this decade. So the advertising segment looks poised to increase revenue at a high rate for many years.</p><p>As of this writing, Spotify's stock is trading down 20% in the last five days on no company-specific news and now trades at an enterprise value of approximately $20 billion. In 2022, the average Wall Street analyst expects the business to generate $12.5 billion in revenue. Over the next few years, that number should go higher as the premium music and advertising businesses continue to grow.</p><p>If you believe Spotify can achieve 10%-plus profit margins as the business matures -- which seems reasonable given its gross margins of 25% that management thinks can climb higher -- the stock trades at a normalized forward enterprise-value-to-earnings ratio of 16, or right around the market average. Given Spotify's potential to keep growing revenue at a high rate for many years, that makes the stock a sweet deal at these prices.</p><h2>2. Match Group</h2><p><b>Match Group</b>Ā is the world's leading online dating company. It owns services like Tinder, Hinge, and Match.com, where people of different ages and demographic groups can try to meet romantic partners. In the fourth quarter of 2021, Match had 16.2 million paying users across all its services, up 15% year over year.</p><p>The beautiful thing about Match Group is that it has consistently increased revenue at a high rate while also generating healthy profits.

The company's report surprised to the downside, noting subscriber losses for the first time in a long while and offering guidance that the weakness would continue through the second quarter. The stock price dropped precipitously in the days following the release, and the stock is down about 38% in the last five days alone.In conjunction with Netflix's drop, investors decided to sell other consumer internet companies, even if they don't compete in the video-streaming business. This has provided long-term investors the potential to buy some high-quality businesses at discounts. Here are two such stocks.Image source: Getty Images.1. SpotifySpotifyĀ is the leading audio-streaming application around the world. The company has 180 million premium subscribers to the ad-free version of the music service and 406 million total monthly active users (MAUs). These numbers have grown steadily since Spotify's debut on the public markets in early 2018. In the fourth quarter of 2017, MAUs totaled 160 million and premium subscribers were 71 million, meaning that Spotify has more than doubled both numbers in five years. Over the long term, management thinks it can reach over 1 billion MAUs.The majority of Spotify's business right now is premium music streaming. In the fourth quarter of 2021, premium subscriptions grew revenue by 22% year over year to $2.5 billion, for a $10 billion annual run rate.The premium business has a lot of growth ahead, but the highlight for Spotify right now is advertising, which grew 40% year over year in the fourth quarter to $427 million. Advertising is booming because of Spotify's huge embrace of podcasts and the launch of its dynamic advertising marketplace called the Spotify Audience Network (SPAN) where advertisers can easily advertise across music and podcasts.Spotify is now the market leader in podcasts in many key countries around the world, and the industry is expected to grow at a double-digit rate this decade. So the advertising segment looks poised to increase revenue at a high rate for many years.As of this writing, Spotify's stock is trading down 20% in the last five days on no company-specific news and now trades at an enterprise value of approximately $20 billion. In 2022, the average Wall Street analyst expects the business to generate $12.5 billion in revenue. Over the next few years, that number should go higher as the premium music and advertising businesses continue to grow.If you believe Spotify can achieve 10%-plus profit margins as the business matures -- which seems reasonable given its gross margins of 25% that management thinks can climb higher -- the stock trades at a normalized forward enterprise-value-to-earnings ratio of 16, or right around the market average. Given Spotify's potential to keep growing revenue at a high rate for many years, that makes the stock a sweet deal at these prices.2. Match GroupMatch GroupĀ is the world's leading online dating company. It owns services like Tinder, Hinge, and Match.com, where people of different ages and demographic groups can try to meet romantic partners. In the fourth quarter of 2021, Match had 16.2 million paying users across all its services, up 15% year over year.The beautiful thing about Match Group is that it has consistently increased revenue at a high rate while also generating healthy profits. Since 2017, revenue has grown 22% a year, rising from $1.33 billion to just under $3 billion in 2021.At the same time, its adjusted operating margin has never gone below 35%, and this is all while the company has had to pay out 25% to 30% of its revenue to the mobile app stores. Call me crazy, but that sounds like a business riding a secular tailwind with phenomenal unit economics.Growth should continue over the next five years as well. Tinder, which generates more than 50% of Match's revenue, grew revenue 22% year over year and should see a catalyst with the winding down of the pandemic.Hinge also has great promise for the company. The app is bringing in only $197 million in annual revenue, but it grew that figure by more than 100% in 2021 and more than 535% since 2019. Over the next few years, Hinge is going to focus on improving its monetization and expanding internationally (it is available only in English-speaking markets right now), which management hopes will keep revenue increasing at a high rate.In the last five days, Match Group stock is down 19% and now trades at a market cap of $22 billion. With $852 million in operating income last year, that gives shares a price-to-operating-income ratio of 25.8. This isn't crazy cheap on a trailing basis, but with a business that has such a strong track record of growth, we might look back five years from now and think Match Group was a steal at these prices.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":512,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9085676795,"gmtCreate":1650696943431,"gmtModify":1676534779198,"author":{"id":"3579758808989513","authorId":"3579758808989513","name":"ACCY","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a44626552831eb06aa01cf85dcaf7422","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579758808989513","authorIdStr":"3579758808989513"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Don't talk about Alibaba š„²","listText":"Don't talk about Alibaba š„²","text":"Don't talk about Alibaba š„²","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9085676795","repostId":"2229416577","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2229416577","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1650684004,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2229416577?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-23 11:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alibaba Vs.

The contrast between these two stocks is so stark that it not only serves to show a specific investment opportunity but also serves as a general example of market psychology. Admittedly, these two stocks are not entirely comparable and there are certainly differences. Some of the uncertainties and risks faced by BABA are not shared by AMZN.</p><p>And my thesis here is that the current market valuation has already priced in all the risks surrounding BABA. More specifically,</p><ul><li>BABA's stock price has recently become dominated by market sentiment and disconnected from fundamentals. Its stock prices easily fluctuated 10%-plus in a few days or even a single day recently in response to news and sentiments that may or may not have direct relevance to its business fundamentals. On the other hand, AMZN's stock price seemed to be immune from news and fundamentals. It has been trading sideways in a narrow range (and at an elevated valuation) despite its mounting cash flow issues and all the geopolitical and macroeconomic risks.</li><li>As shown in the next chart, both BABA and AMZN are valued at about 1.8x and 3.2x price to sales ratio, respectively, a discount by almost a factor of 2x (1.8x to be exact). As we look deeper next, the discount becomes even larger than on the surface. The second chart compares the profit margin between BABA and Amazon. BABA's EBIT profit margin is almost twice that of Amazon - not only shows BABA's superior profitability (and AMZN's concerning and deteriorating profitability) but also further highlights the valuation gap. The sales of BABA should be worth about 2x as valuable as that of AMZN because of the higher margin, but the current valuation is the opposite. And as you were seeing the remainder of this article, BABA also enjoys superior fundamentals in other keys aspects, such as R&D output, return on capital employed, and growth potential.</li><li>Finally, aside from their drastically different valuations, there are many comparable aspects between these two e-commerce giants. And a comparison between them could also provide insights into the evolving e-commerce landscape. Comparing what they are researching and developing gives us a peek at the future investment direction in this space.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/edc32a62854da273e12174d4c8743211\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"229\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9307ef042b92a9964176e9d55e850efc\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"228\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p><b>Both R&D aggressively but BABA enjoys way better yield</b></p><p>As mentioned in our earlier writings, we do not invest in a given tech stock because we have high confidence in a certain product that they are developing in the pipeline. Instead, we are more focused on A) the recurring resources available to fund new R&D efforts sustainably, and B) the overall efficiency of the R&D <i>process</i>.</p><p>So let's first see how well and sustainably BABA and AMZN can fund their new R&D efforts. The short answer is: Extremely well. The next chart shows the R&D expenses of BABA and AMZN over the past decade. As seen, both have been consistently investing heavily in R&D in recent years. AMZN didn't spend meaningfully on R&D before 2016. But since 2016, AMZN on average has been spending about 12% of its total revenue on R&D efforts. And BABA spends a bit less, on average 10%. Both levels are consistent with the average of other overachievers in the tech space, such as the FAAMG group.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b7e323032c8f5c21cefbaad05f431d0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"363\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Author based on Seeking Alpha data</span></p><p>Then the next question is, how effective is their R&D process? This is where the contrast kicks in as shown in the next chart. The chart shows a variation of Buffett's $1 test on R&D expenses. Advised by Buffett, we do not only listen to CEOs' pitches on their brilliant new ideas that will shake the earth (again). We also examine the financials to see if their words are corroborated by the numbers. And in BABA and AMZN's cases, their numbers are shown here. The analysis method is detailed in our earlier writings and in summary:</p><blockquote><ul><li><i>The purpose of any corporate R&D is obviously to generate profit. Therefore, this analysis quantifies the yield by taking the ratio between profit and R&D expenditures. We used the operating cash flow as the measure for profit.</i></li><li><i>Also, most R&D investments do not produce any result in the same year. They typically have a lifetime of a few years. Therefore, this analysis assumes a three-year average investment cycle for R&D. And as a result, we used the three-year moving average of operating cash flow to represent this three-year cycle.</i></li></ul></blockquote><p>As you can see, the R&D yield for both has been remarkably consistent although at different levels. In BABA's case, its R&D yield has been steady around an average of $3.3 in recent years. This level of R&D yield is very competitive even among the overachieving FAAMG group. The FAAMG group boasts an average R&D yield of around $2 to $2.5 in recent years. And the only one that generates a significantly high R&D yield in this group is Apple (AAPL), which generates an R&D yield of $4.7 of profit output from every $1 of R&D expenses.</p><p>AMZN's R&D yield of $0.9, on the other hand, is substantially lower than BABA's and is also the lowest among the FAAMG group. And note that since AMZN didn't spend meaningfully on R&D before 2016, we only started reporting its R&D yield starting in 2016.</p><p>Next, we will examine their profitability to fuel their R&D efforts sustainably and also dive into some of the specific R&D efforts they are undertaking.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/900e44a75dee8b7ca4ba98a4fd84fe9f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"347\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Author</span></p><p><b>BABA enjoys far superior profitability</b></p><p>As explained in our earlier writings, to us, the most important profitability measure is ROCE (return on capital employed) because:</p><blockquote><i>ROCE considers the return of capital ACTUALLY employed and therefore provides insight into how much additional capital a business needs to invest in order to earn a given extra amount of income - a key to estimating the long-term growth rate. Because when we think as long-term business owners, the growth rate is "simply" the product of ROCE and reinvestment rate, i.e.,</i></blockquote><blockquote><i>Long-Term Growth Rate = ROCE * Reinvestment Rate</i></blockquote><p>The ROCE of both stocks has been detailed in our earlier articles and I will just directly quote the results below. In this analysis, I consider the following items capital actually employed A) Working capital (including payables, receivables, inventory), B) Gross Property, Plant, and Equipment, and C) Research and development expenses are also capitalized. As you can see, BABA was able to maintain a remarkably high ROCE over the past decade. It has been astronomical in the early part of the decade exceeding 150%. It has declined due to all the drama in recent years that you are familiar with (China's tightened regulations, high tax rates, slow-down of the overall economic growth in China, et al). But still, its ROCE is on average about 95% in recent years.</p><p>AMZN's ROCE has shown a similar pattern. It too has enjoyed a much higher ROCE in the early part of the decade. And it too has witnessed a steady decline over the years. In recent years, its ROCE has been relatively low, with an average of around 29%. A ROCE of 29% is still a healthy level (my estimate of the ROCE for the overall economy is about 20%). However, it's not comparable to BABA or other overachievers in the FAANG pack.</p><p>Next, we will examine their key segments and initiatives to form a projection of their future profitability and growth drivers.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8056d3adecb25ebef04479bb04307ec3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"364\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Author</span></p><p><b>Growth prospects and final verdict</b></p><p>Looking forward, I see both as well poised to benefit from the secular trend of e-commerce penetration. When we are so used to the American way of online shopping, it's easy to form the impression that e-commerce has already saturated. The reality is that the global e-commerce penetration is still ONLY at about 20% currently. Meaning 80% of the commerce is still currently conducted offline. In terms of absolute volume, as you can see from the following chart, global retail e-commerce sales have reached $4.2 trillion in 2020. And it's projected to almost double by 2026, reaching $7.4 trillion of revenues in the retail e-commerce business. The e-commerce movement is just getting started and the bulk of the growth opportunity is yet to come. And leaders like BABA and AMZN are both best poised to capitalize on this secular trend.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6158c888029f44a73ed791c390065540\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"328\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>OBERLO data</span></p><p>I also see both enjoy tremendous growth opportunities in other areas besides e-commerce. Both are leaders in the cloud computing space, especially in their own geographical areas. This segment has tremendous growth potential as the world shifts to the pure "pay per use" model, and the growth is just starting as start-ups, enterprises, government agencies, and academic institutions shift their computing needs to this new model. In BABA's case, its cloud computing, international avenues, and domestic platform expansion are all enjoying momentum. These segments all show promise for profitability and growth in the near future to maintain their high R&D yield and high ROCE. Similarly, AMZN's AWS unit is expected to grow significantly in the near future to help lift the bottom line. It has recently announced offerings such as Cloud WAN, a managed wide area network, and Amplify Studio, a new visual development environment. Moreover, AMZN's also announced the planned $8.45 billion purchase of MGM Movie Studios, and I'm optimistic about the synergies with its streaming businesses.</p><p>Also, I do see some asymmetric growth opportunities for BABA. As aforementioned, both stocks are best poised to capitalize on the world's unstoppable shift toward e-commerce. However, the remaining shift will be unevenly distributed and the Asian-Pacific region will be the center of the momentum. As shown in the chart above, world retail e-commerce sales are expected to exceed $7.3 trillion by 2025. The twist is that the Asian-Pacific region will be where most of the growth will be. By 2023, the Western continents will contribute 16% of the total B2B e-commerce volume, while the remaining 84% would come from the non-Western world. And BABA is best poised to benefit with its scale and reach, government support, and cultural and geographic proximity.</p><p>Finally, the following table summarizes all the key metrics discussed above. As mentioned early on, my thesis is that the risks surrounding BABA have been fully priced in already. Even if we put aside the issue of valuations and risks, there are many comparable aspects between these two e-commerce giants (probably more than their differences). Comparing and contrasting their R&D efforts, profitability, and future growth areas not only elucidate their own investment prospects but also provide insight into other e-commerce investment opportunities.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/609b820dedf6ed23d5ddfd1ed92b9515\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"272\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Author</span></p><p><b>Risks</b></p><p>I do not think there is a need to repeat BABA's risks anymore. Other SA authors have provided excellent coverage already. And we ourselves have also assessed these risks based on a Kelly analysis.</p><p>For AMZN, a key issue I recommend investors to keep a close on in the upcoming earnings release is the leasing accounting. We have cautioned readers before the 2021 Q4 earnings release about the role of its lease accounting and the possibility of its free cash flow ("FCF") deterioration after being adjusted for leasing accounting. And as you can see from the following chart, unfortunately, its FCF has indeed suffered a dramatic deterioration to a negative $20B in 2021 Q4. In the incoming 2022 Q1 release, this is a key item that I would be watching.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/963ea4489df1ce587e26c13d870e7326\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"487\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>AMZN 2021 Q4 earnings release</span></p><p><b>Summary and final thoughts</b></p><p>The stock market is notorious for completely ignoring business fundamentals both at the greed extreme and at the fear extreme. The stark contrast between BABA and AMZN serves as a general example of such market psychology so investors could identify mispricing opportunities.</p><p>The thesis is that BABA is now in the extreme fear end of the spectrum and its stock price has recently become disconnected from fundamentals. In particular,</p><ul><li>The current market valuation has already priced in all the risks surrounding BABA. BABA's price to sales ratio is discounted by almost half relative to AMZN despite its higher margin and profitability.</li><li>Both stocks pursue new opportunities aggressively with 10% to 12% of their total sales spent on R&D efforts, but BABA enjoys a far better yield.</li><li>I also see both well poised to benefit from the secular trend of global e-commerce penetration and also from the opportunities in other areas such as cloud computing. However, I do see some asymmetries here. For example, the remaining e-commerce shift will be unevenly distributed and the Asian-Pacific region will be the center of the momentum, where BABA is better positioned to benefit from its government support and cultural/geographic proximity.</li></ul></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Alibaba Vs.

The contrast between these two stocks is so stark that it not only serves to show a specific investment opportunity but also serves as a general example of market psychology. Admittedly, these two stocks are not entirely comparable and there are certainly differences. Some of the uncertainties and risks faced by BABA are not shared by AMZN.And my thesis here is that the current market valuation has already priced in all the risks surrounding BABA. More specifically,BABA's stock price has recently become dominated by market sentiment and disconnected from fundamentals. Its stock prices easily fluctuated 10%-plus in a few days or even a single day recently in response to news and sentiments that may or may not have direct relevance to its business fundamentals. On the other hand, AMZN's stock price seemed to be immune from news and fundamentals. It has been trading sideways in a narrow range (and at an elevated valuation) despite its mounting cash flow issues and all the geopolitical and macroeconomic risks.As shown in the next chart, both BABA and AMZN are valued at about 1.8x and 3.2x price to sales ratio, respectively, a discount by almost a factor of 2x (1.8x to be exact). As we look deeper next, the discount becomes even larger than on the surface. The second chart compares the profit margin between BABA and Amazon. BABA's EBIT profit margin is almost twice that of Amazon - not only shows BABA's superior profitability (and AMZN's concerning and deteriorating profitability) but also further highlights the valuation gap. The sales of BABA should be worth about 2x as valuable as that of AMZN because of the higher margin, but the current valuation is the opposite. And as you were seeing the remainder of this article, BABA also enjoys superior fundamentals in other keys aspects, such as R&D output, return on capital employed, and growth potential.Finally, aside from their drastically different valuations, there are many comparable aspects between these two e-commerce giants. And a comparison between them could also provide insights into the evolving e-commerce landscape. Comparing what they are researching and developing gives us a peek at the future investment direction in this space.Seeking AlphaSeeking AlphaBoth R&D aggressively but BABA enjoys way better yieldAs mentioned in our earlier writings, we do not invest in a given tech stock because we have high confidence in a certain product that they are developing in the pipeline. Instead, we are more focused on A) the recurring resources available to fund new R&D efforts sustainably, and B) the overall efficiency of the R&D process.So let's first see how well and sustainably BABA and AMZN can fund their new R&D efforts. The short answer is: Extremely well. The next chart shows the R&D expenses of BABA and AMZN over the past decade. As seen, both have been consistently investing heavily in R&D in recent years. AMZN didn't spend meaningfully on R&D before 2016. But since 2016, AMZN on average has been spending about 12% of its total revenue on R&D efforts. And BABA spends a bit less, on average 10%. Both levels are consistent with the average of other overachievers in the tech space, such as the FAAMG group.Author based on Seeking Alpha dataThen the next question is, how effective is their R&D process? This is where the contrast kicks in as shown in the next chart. The chart shows a variation of Buffett's $1 test on R&D expenses. Advised by Buffett, we do not only listen to CEOs' pitches on their brilliant new ideas that will shake the earth (again). We also examine the financials to see if their words are corroborated by the numbers. And in BABA and AMZN's cases, their numbers are shown here. The analysis method is detailed in our earlier writings and in summary:The purpose of any corporate R&D is obviously to generate profit. Therefore, this analysis quantifies the yield by taking the ratio between profit and R&D expenditures. We used the operating cash flow as the measure for profit.Also, most R&D investments do not produce any result in the same year. They typically have a lifetime of a few years. Therefore, this analysis assumes a three-year average investment cycle for R&D. And as a result, we used the three-year moving average of operating cash flow to represent this three-year cycle.As you can see, the R&D yield for both has been remarkably consistent although at different levels. In BABA's case, its R&D yield has been steady around an average of $3.3 in recent years. This level of R&D yield is very competitive even among the overachieving FAAMG group. The FAAMG group boasts an average R&D yield of around $2 to $2.5 in recent years. And the only one that generates a significantly high R&D yield in this group is Apple (AAPL), which generates an R&D yield of $4.7 of profit output from every $1 of R&D expenses.AMZN's R&D yield of $0.9, on the other hand, is substantially lower than BABA's and is also the lowest among the FAAMG group. And note that since AMZN didn't spend meaningfully on R&D before 2016, we only started reporting its R&D yield starting in 2016.Next, we will examine their profitability to fuel their R&D efforts sustainably and also dive into some of the specific R&D efforts they are undertaking.AuthorBABA enjoys far superior profitabilityAs explained in our earlier writings, to us, the most important profitability measure is ROCE (return on capital employed) because:ROCE considers the return of capital ACTUALLY employed and therefore provides insight into how much additional capital a business needs to invest in order to earn a given extra amount of income - a key to estimating the long-term growth rate. Because when we think as long-term business owners, the growth rate is \"simply\" the product of ROCE and reinvestment rate, i.e.,Long-Term Growth Rate = ROCE * Reinvestment RateThe ROCE of both stocks has been detailed in our earlier articles and I will just directly quote the results below. In this analysis, I consider the following items capital actually employed A) Working capital (including payables, receivables, inventory), B) Gross Property, Plant, and Equipment, and C) Research and development expenses are also capitalized. As you can see, BABA was able to maintain a remarkably high ROCE over the past decade. It has been astronomical in the early part of the decade exceeding 150%. It has declined due to all the drama in recent years that you are familiar with (China's tightened regulations, high tax rates, slow-down of the overall economic growth in China, et al). But still, its ROCE is on average about 95% in recent years.AMZN's ROCE has shown a similar pattern. It too has enjoyed a much higher ROCE in the early part of the decade. And it too has witnessed a steady decline over the years. In recent years, its ROCE has been relatively low, with an average of around 29%. A ROCE of 29% is still a healthy level (my estimate of the ROCE for the overall economy is about 20%). However, it's not comparable to BABA or other overachievers in the FAANG pack.Next, we will examine their key segments and initiatives to form a projection of their future profitability and growth drivers.AuthorGrowth prospects and final verdictLooking forward, I see both as well poised to benefit from the secular trend of e-commerce penetration. When we are so used to the American way of online shopping, it's easy to form the impression that e-commerce has already saturated. The reality is that the global e-commerce penetration is still ONLY at about 20% currently. Meaning 80% of the commerce is still currently conducted offline. In terms of absolute volume, as you can see from the following chart, global retail e-commerce sales have reached $4.2 trillion in 2020. And it's projected to almost double by 2026, reaching $7.4 trillion of revenues in the retail e-commerce business. The e-commerce movement is just getting started and the bulk of the growth opportunity is yet to come. And leaders like BABA and AMZN are both best poised to capitalize on this secular trend.OBERLO dataI also see both enjoy tremendous growth opportunities in other areas besides e-commerce. Both are leaders in the cloud computing space, especially in their own geographical areas. This segment has tremendous growth potential as the world shifts to the pure \"pay per use\" model, and the growth is just starting as start-ups, enterprises, government agencies, and academic institutions shift their computing needs to this new model. In BABA's case, its cloud computing, international avenues, and domestic platform expansion are all enjoying momentum. These segments all show promise for profitability and growth in the near future to maintain their high R&D yield and high ROCE. Similarly, AMZN's AWS unit is expected to grow significantly in the near future to help lift the bottom line. It has recently announced offerings such as Cloud WAN, a managed wide area network, and Amplify Studio, a new visual development environment. Moreover, AMZN's also announced the planned $8.45 billion purchase of MGM Movie Studios, and I'm optimistic about the synergies with its streaming businesses.Also, I do see some asymmetric growth opportunities for BABA. As aforementioned, both stocks are best poised to capitalize on the world's unstoppable shift toward e-commerce. However, the remaining shift will be unevenly distributed and the Asian-Pacific region will be the center of the momentum. As shown in the chart above, world retail e-commerce sales are expected to exceed $7.3 trillion by 2025. The twist is that the Asian-Pacific region will be where most of the growth will be. By 2023, the Western continents will contribute 16% of the total B2B e-commerce volume, while the remaining 84% would come from the non-Western world. And BABA is best poised to benefit with its scale and reach, government support, and cultural and geographic proximity.Finally, the following table summarizes all the key metrics discussed above. As mentioned early on, my thesis is that the risks surrounding BABA have been fully priced in already. Even if we put aside the issue of valuations and risks, there are many comparable aspects between these two e-commerce giants (probably more than their differences). Comparing and contrasting their R&D efforts, profitability, and future growth areas not only elucidate their own investment prospects but also provide insight into other e-commerce investment opportunities.AuthorRisksI do not think there is a need to repeat BABA's risks anymore. Other SA authors have provided excellent coverage already. And we ourselves have also assessed these risks based on a Kelly analysis.For AMZN, a key issue I recommend investors to keep a close on in the upcoming earnings release is the leasing accounting. We have cautioned readers before the 2021 Q4 earnings release about the role of its lease accounting and the possibility of its free cash flow (\"FCF\") deterioration after being adjusted for leasing accounting. And as you can see from the following chart, unfortunately, its FCF has indeed suffered a dramatic deterioration to a negative $20B in 2021 Q4. In the incoming 2022 Q1 release, this is a key item that I would be watching.AMZN 2021 Q4 earnings releaseSummary and final thoughtsThe stock market is notorious for completely ignoring business fundamentals both at the greed extreme and at the fear extreme. The stark contrast between BABA and AMZN serves as a general example of such market psychology so investors could identify mispricing opportunities.The thesis is that BABA is now in the extreme fear end of the spectrum and its stock price has recently become disconnected from fundamentals. In particular,The current market valuation has already priced in all the risks surrounding BABA. BABA's price to sales ratio is discounted by almost half relative to AMZN despite its higher margin and profitability.Both stocks pursue new opportunities aggressively with 10% to 12% of their total sales spent on R&D efforts, but BABA enjoys a far better yield.I also see both well poised to benefit from the secular trend of global e-commerce penetration and also from the opportunities in other areas such as cloud computing. However, I do see some asymmetries here. For example, the remaining e-commerce shift will be unevenly distributed and the Asian-Pacific region will be the center of the momentum, where BABA is better positioned to benefit from its government support and cultural/geographic proximity.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":480,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9085676296,"gmtCreate":1650696829901,"gmtModify":1676534779206,"author":{"id":"3579758808989513","authorId":"3579758808989513","name":"ACCY","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a44626552831eb06aa01cf85dcaf7422","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579758808989513","authorIdStr":"3579758808989513"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Forever?

The investment conglomerate now has a market capitalization of roughly $771 billion and stands as the one of the world's largest companies, and The Oracle of Omaha's ability to identify promising businesses worth holding long term has played a big role in getting there.</p><p>While Berkshire's massive market cap suggests its most explosive days of growth are likely in the past, an incredible performance and top-tier management and analyst teams suggest it can still pay to look to the company for investing inspiration. Read on for a look at five top stocks in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio that are worth buying today and holding for the long haul.</p><h2>1. Amazon</h2><p>Even with current holdings worth roughly $1.8 billion, <b>Amazon</b> ranks as just the 21st-largest overall stock holding in Berkshire's portfolio. The investment conglomerate first purchased the e-commerce and cloud computing giant's stock in 2019, and you can be sure that Buffett regrets not investing in the multi-industry innovator sooner. The famously successful investor went so far as to describe himself as "an idiot" for not buying shares at an earlier stage.</p><p>With gains of roughly 21,680% over the last 20 years, it's not hard to imagine why The Oracle of Omaha is frustrated about taking some time to see the light on Amazon, but the company will likely continue serving up more strong performance over the long term. Amazon's e-commerce and cloud businesses still have incredible runways for expansion, and these pillars give it the flexibility to pursue wins in other emerging technology and service trends.</p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SNOW\">Snowflake</a></h2><p>While the Oracle of Omaha is best known as a value investing guru, that doesn't mean that he and the Berkshire team don't sometimes see great value in highly growth-dependent stocks. <b>Snowflake</b> provides a data-warehousing platform that can be used to combine and analyze information from Amazon, <b>Alphabet</b>, and <b>Microsoft</b>'s respective cloud platforms, and surging demand for its services is translating to rapid business expansion.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0c49e19db0c82953682aa96a1284927d\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"393\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Image source: Snowflake.</span></p><p>Based on its forward price-to-sales multiple of approximately 30.5, it could be argued that Snowflake is the most "expensive" stock in the Berkshire portfolio. On the other hand, it has a very favorable growth outlook, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if it winds up being one of the investment conglomerate's best-performing stocks over the next decade.</p><h2>3. Verizon</h2><p>With the largest wireless network in the U.S., highly rated service, and strong customer loyalty, <b>Verizon</b> stands to be one of the biggest beneficiaries in the next-generation network technologies in the telecom industry. 5G is paving the way for upload and download speeds that absolutely trounce what's possible on 4G LTE in even the most ideal circumstances, and this big leap forward in network technology will make a wide range of new technologies and services possible.</p><p>Verizon's business is already a free-cash-flow-generating machine, and that allows it to return substantial cash to shareholders in the form of dividends. The company's payout currently yields roughly 4.7%, and the stock looks cheap trading at roughly 10 times this year's expected earnings.</p><h2>4. Bank of America</h2><p>Berkshire Hathaway's holdings in <b>Bank of America</b> stock are currently worth roughly $45 billion and account for more than 13% of its overall stock portfolio. The banking giant is Berkshire's second-largest overall stock holding and its biggest investment in the financials industry by a wide margin.</p><p>There will always be a need for banking and financial services, and Bank of America's incredible scale gives it an edge in the space. Bank of America also pays a dividend that currently yields roughly 2.1%.Ā Even better, the company has been raising its payout at a rapid clip over the last decade, and there's a good chance that investors can look forward to more payout growth.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8cba5f4053d34276169cf8dc0ea2f575\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>BAC Dividend data by YCharts</span></p><h2>5. Apple</h2><p>Buffett has said that <b>Apple</b> is probably the best business he knows, and a quick look at the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio makes it clear he has a high level of conviction on that call. The tech company stands as the single largest stock holding in Berkshire's portfolio, representing roughly 46% of its total stock holdings.</p><p>Apple has the world's most valuable brand in the consumer electronics space, and that advantage has allowed the company to generate far more profits from mobile, computer, and wearable hardware sales than its competitors.

The investment conglomerate now has a market capitalization of roughly $771 billion and stands as the one of the world's largest companies, and The Oracle of Omaha's ability to identify promising businesses worth holding long term has played a big role in getting there.While Berkshire's massive market cap suggests its most explosive days of growth are likely in the past, an incredible performance and top-tier management and analyst teams suggest it can still pay to look to the company for investing inspiration. Read on for a look at five top stocks in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio that are worth buying today and holding for the long haul.1. AmazonEven with current holdings worth roughly $1.8 billion, Amazon ranks as just the 21st-largest overall stock holding in Berkshire's portfolio. The investment conglomerate first purchased the e-commerce and cloud computing giant's stock in 2019, and you can be sure that Buffett regrets not investing in the multi-industry innovator sooner. The famously successful investor went so far as to describe himself as \"an idiot\" for not buying shares at an earlier stage.With gains of roughly 21,680% over the last 20 years, it's not hard to imagine why The Oracle of Omaha is frustrated about taking some time to see the light on Amazon, but the company will likely continue serving up more strong performance over the long term. Amazon's e-commerce and cloud businesses still have incredible runways for expansion, and these pillars give it the flexibility to pursue wins in other emerging technology and service trends.2. SnowflakeWhile the Oracle of Omaha is best known as a value investing guru, that doesn't mean that he and the Berkshire team don't sometimes see great value in highly growth-dependent stocks. Snowflake provides a data-warehousing platform that can be used to combine and analyze information from Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft's respective cloud platforms, and surging demand for its services is translating to rapid business expansion.Image source: Snowflake.Based on its forward price-to-sales multiple of approximately 30.5, it could be argued that Snowflake is the most \"expensive\" stock in the Berkshire portfolio. On the other hand, it has a very favorable growth outlook, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if it winds up being one of the investment conglomerate's best-performing stocks over the next decade.3. VerizonWith the largest wireless network in the U.S., highly rated service, and strong customer loyalty, Verizon stands to be one of the biggest beneficiaries in the next-generation network technologies in the telecom industry. 5G is paving the way for upload and download speeds that absolutely trounce what's possible on 4G LTE in even the most ideal circumstances, and this big leap forward in network technology will make a wide range of new technologies and services possible.Verizon's business is already a free-cash-flow-generating machine, and that allows it to return substantial cash to shareholders in the form of dividends. The company's payout currently yields roughly 4.7%, and the stock looks cheap trading at roughly 10 times this year's expected earnings.4. Bank of AmericaBerkshire Hathaway's holdings in Bank of America stock are currently worth roughly $45 billion and account for more than 13% of its overall stock portfolio. The banking giant is Berkshire's second-largest overall stock holding and its biggest investment in the financials industry by a wide margin.There will always be a need for banking and financial services, and Bank of America's incredible scale gives it an edge in the space. Bank of America also pays a dividend that currently yields roughly 2.1%.Ā Even better, the company has been raising its payout at a rapid clip over the last decade, and there's a good chance that investors can look forward to more payout growth.BAC Dividend data by YCharts5. AppleBuffett has said that Apple is probably the best business he knows, and a quick look at the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio makes it clear he has a high level of conviction on that call. The tech company stands as the single largest stock holding in Berkshire's portfolio, representing roughly 46% of its total stock holdings.Apple has the world's most valuable brand in the consumer electronics space, and that advantage has allowed the company to generate far more profits from mobile, computer, and wearable hardware sales than its competitors. The tech giant has also built a powerful software and services ecosystem that's helping to power new growth stages for the company.With a market capitalization of roughly $2.73 trillion, Apple stands as the most valuable company in the world and could have a harder time delivering relative growth going forward. However, the company's core hardware and software businesses continue to look very strong, and it has the potential to score massive wins in augmented reality, smart cars, and other potentially revolutionary trends.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":487,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9082873875,"gmtCreate":1650553839140,"gmtModify":1676534750871,"author":{"id":"3579758808989513","authorId":"3579758808989513","name":"ACCY","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a44626552831eb06aa01cf85dcaf7422","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579758808989513","authorIdStr":"3579758808989513"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow š¤© ","listText":"Wow š¤© ","text":"Wow š¤©","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9082873875","repostId":"2229185257","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2229185257","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1650551999,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2229185257?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-21 22:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Billionaire Carl Icahn Rules Out Bidding for Southwest Gas","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2229185257","media":"Reuters","summary":"Billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn said on Thursday he had no interest in making a bid for Sou","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn said on Thursday he had no interest in making a bid for Southwest Gas Holdings Inc , days after the utility said it would evaluate a sale following interest from an unnamed potential buyer.</p><p>In an open letter to Southwest's shareholders, Icahn said his "only interest is to replace the incumbent board of directors".</p><p>If Icahn's slate of director nominees were elected, they would continue pursuing strategic alternatives for Southwest, Icahn said, but he would not consider bidding for the utility even then.</p><p>The billionaire also questioned the acquisition interest from the anonymous potential buyer Southwest disclosed earlier this week, saying it was "barely credible".</p><p>In October, Icahn sought to gain control of the Southwest Gas board and replace its chief executive officer after the company adopted a shareholder rights plan to stop his push to make it abandon a $2 billion takeover of Questar Pipelines.</p><p>The billionaire later launched a tender offer for Southwest shares, seeking to buy stock from other shareholders of the company at $82.50 each.

The three stocks are caught up in the broad market selling of growth stocks. The Federal Reserve is raising interest rates, and when that happens, it makes growth stocks more expensive because future cash flows are discounted at higher rates.</p><p>In addition to the rising-rate headwind, the three stocks mentioned above were also huge pandemic winners. Now that economies are reopening, investors are concerned with operating performance in a post-pandemic economy. Admittedly, those are both legitimate concerns for investors to have. However, the market might be overreacting, selling these growth stocks down more than they should be, creating an opportunity for long-term investors to buy shares at a discount.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/163a392593cbc13487d8843bdd3ade91\" tg-width=\"1015\" tg-height=\"727\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>RBLX, PINS, CHGG, Pinterest, and Chegg data by YCharts.</p><h2>Chegg</h2><p>Chegg is an education technology company with a massive competitive advantage. It has 75 million pieces of proprietary content it has spent years creating. Chegg sells monthly subscriptions to college students who access this treasure trove of educational resources. As part of a subscription, students can also ask 20 questions per month answered by Chegg's subject-matter experts. The process ensures Chegg only creates content that students are willing to pay for.</p><p>The company has nearly tripled revenue from $255 million in 2017 to $776 million in 2021. Further, there are solid efficiencies of scale built into the business. Simultaneously, operating income expanded from a negative $23 million to $78 million. The sell-off in Chegg's stock has it trading at a price-to-free-cash-flow of 27.75, near the lowest in the last five years.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a3313b1e99d160e3e84d2834a8da4e8\" tg-width=\"1015\" tg-height=\"727\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>CHGG Price to Free Cash Flow data by YCharts.</p><h2>Pinterest</h2><p>Pinterest is an image-based social media platform that boasts 431 million monthly active users. The site and app are free to join and use, but so are many other entertainment options like the company I will discuss next. Pinterest makes money by showing advertisements to the folks browsing its platform. In that regard, it has delivered excellent growth. From 2018 to 2021, sales have increased from $756 million to $2.6 billion.</p><p>And Pinterest is only scratching the surface of its potential. Advertisers spent $763 billion globally in 2021; Pinterest's $2.6 billion was a relatively tiny fraction of that total. Suppose the company can continue offering innovative features that attract monthly active users to log on more frequently and stay longer each time they open the app. In that case, Pinterest can keep expanding inside the massive and growing advertising industry. Like Chegg, the sell-off in Pinterest stock has it selling at nearly the lowest valuations in the last three years.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6e9c42fb8a16ce9bb0c531ab0eed6052\" tg-width=\"1015\" tg-height=\"727\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>PINS Price to Free Cash Flow data by YCharts</p><h2>Roblox</h2><p>Last but not least is Roblox, the metaverse pioneer. The company has grown to claim 55 million daily active users on its platform, where they can virtually interact with each other and their environment.

The three stocks are caught up in the broad market selling of growth stocks. The Federal Reserve is raising interest rates, and when that happens, it makes growth stocks more expensive because future cash flows are discounted at higher rates.In addition to the rising-rate headwind, the three stocks mentioned above were also huge pandemic winners. Now that economies are reopening, investors are concerned with operating performance in a post-pandemic economy. Admittedly, those are both legitimate concerns for investors to have. However, the market might be overreacting, selling these growth stocks down more than they should be, creating an opportunity for long-term investors to buy shares at a discount.RBLX, PINS, CHGG, Pinterest, and Chegg data by YCharts.CheggChegg is an education technology company with a massive competitive advantage. It has 75 million pieces of proprietary content it has spent years creating. Chegg sells monthly subscriptions to college students who access this treasure trove of educational resources. As part of a subscription, students can also ask 20 questions per month answered by Chegg's subject-matter experts. The process ensures Chegg only creates content that students are willing to pay for.The company has nearly tripled revenue from $255 million in 2017 to $776 million in 2021. Further, there are solid efficiencies of scale built into the business. Simultaneously, operating income expanded from a negative $23 million to $78 million. The sell-off in Chegg's stock has it trading at a price-to-free-cash-flow of 27.75, near the lowest in the last five years.CHGG Price to Free Cash Flow data by YCharts.PinterestPinterest is an image-based social media platform that boasts 431 million monthly active users. The site and app are free to join and use, but so are many other entertainment options like the company I will discuss next. Pinterest makes money by showing advertisements to the folks browsing its platform. In that regard, it has delivered excellent growth. From 2018 to 2021, sales have increased from $756 million to $2.6 billion.And Pinterest is only scratching the surface of its potential. Advertisers spent $763 billion globally in 2021; Pinterest's $2.6 billion was a relatively tiny fraction of that total. Suppose the company can continue offering innovative features that attract monthly active users to log on more frequently and stay longer each time they open the app. In that case, Pinterest can keep expanding inside the massive and growing advertising industry. Like Chegg, the sell-off in Pinterest stock has it selling at nearly the lowest valuations in the last three years.PINS Price to Free Cash Flow data by YChartsRobloxLast but not least is Roblox, the metaverse pioneer. The company has grown to claim 55 million daily active users on its platform, where they can virtually interact with each other and their environment. It's free to join and use; Roblox makes money by selling an in-game currency called Robux, which is needed to experience premium features unavailable to free players.The company sold enough Robux to generate $1.9 billion in revenue in 2021.

While the <b>Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector</b> index is down about 13.9% so far in 2022, it's still holding on to a gain of 423% over the last decade.</p><p>In fact, the steep declines in many individual stocks could be an opportunity to buy into long-term growth stories at a discount for the decade ahead. <b>Upstart Holdings</b> and <b>Bill.com Holdings</b> are two fintechs with unique business models and soaring growth rates, making them prime candidates.</p><p>Over the next 10 years, both stocks have the potential to deliver fivefold returns, especially if you buy them now while their stock is selling at a steep discount to levels reached in late 2021.</p><h2>The case for Upstart</h2><p>Artificial intelligence (AI) is a next-generation technology that promises to replace manual human input in many complex tasks. In this case, Upstart has developed an AI algorithm to assess the creditworthiness of potential borrowers, and it uses that information to originate loans for its banking partners.</p><p>Banks pay Upstart a fee for the service, and it's proving to be a far more effective tool than the decades-old FICO credit scoring system from <b>Fair Isaac</b>. While FICO takes into account a handful of metrics when assessing borrowers, Upstart can measure 1,600 data points and deliver a decision instantly 70% of the time. It would likely take a human assessor days or even weeks to arrive at the same result, so Upstart offers a better experience for both the customer and the lender.</p><p>The company got its start by originating unsecured personal loans, which is a $96 billion annual market. But it recently expanded into auto loan originations, which is about seven times that size. The Upstart Auto Retail sales and origination platform now serves over 410 car dealerships across the U.S., and it's growing rapidly.</p><p>Upstart would have to increase its revenue by 18% each year to turn a $200,000 investment into $1 million by 2032, assuming its price-to-sales multiple remains constant.</p><table><thead><tr><th>Metric</th><th>2017</th><th>2021</th><th>CAGR</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><p>Revenue</p></td><td><p>$57 million</p></td><td><p>$849 million</p></td><td><p>96%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Earnings (loss) per share</p></td><td><p>($0.56)</p></td><td><p>$2.37</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Data: Upstart Holdings. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.</p><p>Upstart is crushing the 18% growth mark, nearly doubling its revenue every year since 2017. On top of that, it's now a profitable company, making it far more attractive as an investment than most tech companies.</p><p>In its 2021 presentation, Upstart highlighted new potential markets like small-business lending and mortgages, which could send its annual opportunity into the trillions of dollars. Put simply, the company's best growth might still be ahead, and with its stock down 79.8% from its all-time high, it's a great time to add it to your portfolio.</p><h2>The case for Bill.com</h2><p>Business owners are spotlighted when it comes to software services that make monotonous administrative tasks less burdensome. Bill.com has grown to become a leading provider, thanks to its flagship accounts-payable platform helping to reduce messy paper trails.

While the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector index is down about 13.9% so far in 2022, it's still holding on to a gain of 423% over the last decade.In fact, the steep declines in many individual stocks could be an opportunity to buy into long-term growth stories at a discount for the decade ahead. Upstart Holdings and Bill.com Holdings are two fintechs with unique business models and soaring growth rates, making them prime candidates.Over the next 10 years, both stocks have the potential to deliver fivefold returns, especially if you buy them now while their stock is selling at a steep discount to levels reached in late 2021.The case for UpstartArtificial intelligence (AI) is a next-generation technology that promises to replace manual human input in many complex tasks. In this case, Upstart has developed an AI algorithm to assess the creditworthiness of potential borrowers, and it uses that information to originate loans for its banking partners.Banks pay Upstart a fee for the service, and it's proving to be a far more effective tool than the decades-old FICO credit scoring system from Fair Isaac. While FICO takes into account a handful of metrics when assessing borrowers, Upstart can measure 1,600 data points and deliver a decision instantly 70% of the time. It would likely take a human assessor days or even weeks to arrive at the same result, so Upstart offers a better experience for both the customer and the lender.The company got its start by originating unsecured personal loans, which is a $96 billion annual market. But it recently expanded into auto loan originations, which is about seven times that size. The Upstart Auto Retail sales and origination platform now serves over 410 car dealerships across the U.S., and it's growing rapidly.Upstart would have to increase its revenue by 18% each year to turn a $200,000 investment into $1 million by 2032, assuming its price-to-sales multiple remains constant.Metric20172021CAGRRevenue$57 million$849 million96%Earnings (loss) per share($0.56)$2.37N/AData: Upstart Holdings. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.Upstart is crushing the 18% growth mark, nearly doubling its revenue every year since 2017. On top of that, it's now a profitable company, making it far more attractive as an investment than most tech companies.In its 2021 presentation, Upstart highlighted new potential markets like small-business lending and mortgages, which could send its annual opportunity into the trillions of dollars. Put simply, the company's best growth might still be ahead, and with its stock down 79.8% from its all-time high, it's a great time to add it to your portfolio.The case for Bill.comBusiness owners are spotlighted when it comes to software services that make monotonous administrative tasks less burdensome. Bill.com has grown to become a leading provider, thanks to its flagship accounts-payable platform helping to reduce messy paper trails. Its digital inbox technology centralizes incoming invoices so they don't get lost in the shuffle of everyday operations.Bill.com allows business owners to pay those invoices with one click, and it also integrates with top accounting software so those transactions get logged into the books automatically. In 2021, the company acquired two other businesses to aid its expansion into new verticals. It now owns Invoice2go, which helps manage accounts receivable, and Divvy, a budgeting and expense management software.Now, Bill.com is a go-to provider for all things related to business payments, and it serves 373,500 customers.MetricFiscal 2018Fiscal 2022 (Guidance)CAGRRevenue$64 million$600 million74%Data: Bill.com.

Through Tuesday's close, the stock was off more than 40% for the year so far.Netflix blamed password sharing among its members and increased streaming competition for creating what it called \"revenue growth headwinds.\" Netflix estimated that besides its almost 222 million paying households, the service is being shared with an additional 100 million homes including 30 million in the U.S. and Canada.In its letter to investors, Netflix said it is testing password-sharing subscription models that it believes will allow it to monetize sharing and build revenue. The company said the portion of its members who share accounts hasn't changed much over the years, but as its overall subscriber base continues to expand, account sharing is hampering future growth in many markets.The streaming giant said revenue growth has slowed considerably after years of 20%-plus gains. Revenue in the first quarter rose roughly 10% to $7.87 billion, below analysts' projections of $7.93 billion.Netflix also warned that gains made during the Covid-19 pandemic hid the fault lines that have emerged in its business over the past few years. \"Covid clouded the picture by significantly increasing our growth in 2020, leading us to believe that most of our slowing growth in 2021 was due to the Covid pull forward,\" the company said in its letter.The subscription decline brought Netflix's paid global subscriber base to 221.6 million, down from 221.8 million in the prior quarter. Net profit was $1.6 billion, down from $1.71 billion a year earlier.Besides competition and password sharing, Netflix said slowing growth reflected such factors as the rate of adoption of smart TVs, data costs and world events including increasing inflation, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and continuing disruption from the pandemic.Netflix said shutting down its service in Russia resulted in the loss of 700,000 subscribers.With a rate of growth that has been the envy of the industry for more than a decade, Netflix is seen as a barometer for streaming. As competition grew and programming costs rose, the company moved recently to raise the price for its monthly plans for the first time since 2020.Netflix's approach contrasts with options presented by competitors. Walt Disney Co. announced last month that it would roll out a cheaper, ad-supported Disney+ subscription in the U.S. beginning in late 2022. The move would leave Netflix and Apple Inc. as the only major streaming services that don't offer a lower-cost, ad-supported option.While Netflix has no stated plans to launch an advertiser-supported tier, during a recent investment conference its chief operating officer, Spencer Neumann, said: \"Never say never.\"Netflix's first-quarter operating margin was 25.1%, down from 27.4% a year earlier. The company said it aims to keep its operating margin at 20% in the future.Netflix said its plan to right itself will be heavily focused on improving the quality of its programming and the recommendations that platform provides to its customers to keep them engaged in the content and on the service. Netflix already spends more than any other entertainment provider, with a programming budget that is expected to surpass $20 billion this year.Although Netflix has several hit shows including \"Stranger Things,\" \"Bridgerton\" and \"The Crown,\" the service has also had its fair share of expensive flops recently including shows such as \"Jupiter Ascending\" and \"Space Force.\"World-wide, Netflix said its business in Central and Eastern Europe showed the effects of Russia's attack on Ukraine. Also down was Latin America, which lost 400,000 subscribers. In the U.S. and Canada, the company lost 600,000 subscribers, which it attributed to its recent price increase.The company said it had grown in Japan, India, the Philippines, Thailand and Taiwan.\"Over the longer term, much of our growth will come from outside the U.S.,\" Netflix said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":386,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9081405803,"gmtCreate":1650260306837,"gmtModify":1676534681442,"author":{"id":"3579758808989513","authorId":"3579758808989513","name":"ACCY","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a44626552831eb06aa01cf85dcaf7422","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579758808989513","authorIdStr":"3579758808989513"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Snap 'em up! š","listText":"Snap 'em up! š","text":"Snap 'em up! š","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9081405803","repostId":"2228982069","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2228982069","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1650249300,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2228982069?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-18 10:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Snap Earnings: What to Watch","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2228982069","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Management guided for rapid revenue growth in Q1, even in the face of iOS ad-targeting challenges.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Social media company <b>Snap </b>( SNAP -4.30% ) has seen its stock get hammered recently.

In response, the company adopted aĀ so-called poison pill, which makes it difficult for Mr. Musk to increase his stake in the company beyond 15%.</p><p>The board has yet to formally respond to the details of the proposal. In the meantime, here is a list of what Mr. Musk has said he would like to do with the platform.</p><p><b>Soften its stance on content moderation.</b></p><p>Mr. Musk, a self-described āfree speech absolutist,ā said in an interview during a TED conference last week that Twitter is the āde facto town square,ā and that āitās very important for there to be an inclusive arena for free speech.ā</p><p>He said Twitter should be more cautious when deciding whether to take down tweets or permanently ban users. Timeouts are better, he added.</p><p>The platform should also follow the laws of the countries it provides services in, Mr. Musk said. And when Twitter does make changes to amplify or reduce a tweetās reach, it should give usersĀ insight into what happened, he said.</p><p>Mr. Musk also said that he doesnāt have all the answers. Twitter, meanwhile, has spent years trying to promote what it calls healthier discourse on the platform, adding content moderation in part under the argument thatĀ it is good for business.</p><p><b>Create an edit feature for tweets.</b></p><p>An edit buttonĀ has long been requested by Twitter users. Earlier this month, Mr. Musk polled Twitter users on whether they wanted one. More than four million accounts voted, and more than 70% said yes. Twitter later said it had already been working on an edit button since last year.</p><p>Mr. Musk reiterated his support for an edit button in the TED interview, and mused about ways the platform might implement the feature.</p><p><b>Take the public company private.</b></p><p>Mr. Musk said in a regulatory filing he wants to take Twitter private.</p><p>āTwitter needs to be transformed as a private company,ā he said. āTwitter has extraordinary potential. I will unlock it.ā</p><p>Taking Twitter off the public stock exchange would likely make it easier for Mr. Musk to implement his desired changes to the company, since much of the shareholder pressure would dissolve. However, Mr. Musk also said in the TED interview that he would want to retain as many shareholders as possible if he succeeds in taking the company private.</p><p><b>Make Twitterās algorithm open source and put the code on GitHub.</b></p><p>In the TED interview, Mr. Musk suggested making Twitterās algorithm open source, meaning others outside the company would be able to view and recommend fixes and changes. One way to do that, he said, is to put the code on GitHub, a site that is used for storing software projects.</p><p><b>Give users who pay for Twitter Blue authentication check marks.</b></p><p>Mr. Musk, in a flurry of tweets during the second weekend of April, suggested that Twitter give users who pay for Twitter Blueāa subscription service that adds extra features to usersā accountsāa check mark to showĀ their account has been āauthenticated.āThis would be distinct from the coveted blue check mark that requires accounts to be both authentic and notable.</p><p><b>Rely less on advertising.</b></p><p>In the same series of tweets, Mr. Musk said Twitter should shift toward a business model thatĀ relies more on subscriptions. Twitter Blue currently adds premium features like āundo tweetā for a monthly fee of $2.99. Mr. Musk suggested the subscription include removing all ads.</p><p>He alsoĀ floated cutting staffĀ and shutting down the companyās San Francisco headquarters.

In response, the company adopted aĀ so-called poison pill, which makes it difficult for Mr. Musk to increase his stake in the company beyond 15%.The board has yet to formally respond to the details of the proposal. In the meantime, here is a list of what Mr. Musk has said he would like to do with the platform.Soften its stance on content moderation.Mr. Musk, a self-described āfree speech absolutist,ā said in an interview during a TED conference last week that Twitter is the āde facto town square,ā and that āitās very important for there to be an inclusive arena for free speech.āHe said Twitter should be more cautious when deciding whether to take down tweets or permanently ban users. Timeouts are better, he added.The platform should also follow the laws of the countries it provides services in, Mr. Musk said. And when Twitter does make changes to amplify or reduce a tweetās reach, it should give usersĀ insight into what happened, he said.Mr. Musk also said that he doesnāt have all the answers. Twitter, meanwhile, has spent years trying to promote what it calls healthier discourse on the platform, adding content moderation in part under the argument thatĀ it is good for business.Create an edit feature for tweets.An edit buttonĀ has long been requested by Twitter users. Earlier this month, Mr. Musk polled Twitter users on whether they wanted one. More than four million accounts voted, and more than 70% said yes. Twitter later said it had already been working on an edit button since last year.Mr. Musk reiterated his support for an edit button in the TED interview, and mused about ways the platform might implement the feature.Take the public company private.Mr. Musk said in a regulatory filing he wants to take Twitter private.āTwitter needs to be transformed as a private company,ā he said. āTwitter has extraordinary potential. I will unlock it.āTaking Twitter off the public stock exchange would likely make it easier for Mr. Musk to implement his desired changes to the company, since much of the shareholder pressure would dissolve. However, Mr. Musk also said in the TED interview that he would want to retain as many shareholders as possible if he succeeds in taking the company private.Make Twitterās algorithm open source and put the code on GitHub.In the TED interview, Mr. Musk suggested making Twitterās algorithm open source, meaning others outside the company would be able to view and recommend fixes and changes. One way to do that, he said, is to put the code on GitHub, a site that is used for storing software projects.Give users who pay for Twitter Blue authentication check marks.Mr. Musk, in a flurry of tweets during the second weekend of April, suggested that Twitter give users who pay for Twitter Blueāa subscription service that adds extra features to usersā accountsāa check mark to showĀ their account has been āauthenticated.āThis would be distinct from the coveted blue check mark that requires accounts to be both authentic and notable.Rely less on advertising.In the same series of tweets, Mr. Musk said Twitter should shift toward a business model thatĀ relies more on subscriptions. Twitter Blue currently adds premium features like āundo tweetā for a monthly fee of $2.99. Mr. Musk suggested the subscription include removing all ads.He alsoĀ floated cutting staffĀ and shutting down the companyās San Francisco headquarters. Such cuts could be needed if the company were to move away from advertising, which in the fourth quarter of 2021 accounted for about 90% of its revenue.Try to stop spam and scam bots.Mr. Musk said a top priority for him would be eliminating ābot armiesā on Twitter, which spam accounts and run scams.āIf I had a dogecoin for every crypto scam I saw,ā he said during the TED interview.Allow for longer tweets.In a tweet last week, Mr. Musk advocated what he called long-form tweets.On Friday, he responded to a lengthy Twitter thread fromYishan Wong, a former chief executive of social-media company Reddit Inc., who offered his take on the Twitter takeover situation. Mr. Musk didnāt respond to Mr. Wongās thoughts, he responded to the form they took.āMy most immediate takeaway from this novella of a thread is that Twitter is *way* overdue for long form tweets!ā he said, without offering any more explanation.In most cases, tweets can contain up to 280 characters, double the previous limit of 140.Twitter declined to comment. Mr. Musk didnāt respond to a request for comment.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":414,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9081402273,"gmtCreate":1650260220214,"gmtModify":1676534681406,"author":{"id":"3579758808989513","authorId":"3579758808989513","name":"ACCY","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a44626552831eb06aa01cf85dcaf7422","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579758808989513","authorIdStr":"3579758808989513"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pfizer has many irreversible adverse effects including sudden deaths","listText":"Pfizer has many irreversible adverse effects including sudden deaths","text":"Pfizer has many irreversible adverse effects including sudden deaths","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9081402273","repostId":"2228556987","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2228556987","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1650252456,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2228556987?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-18 11:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Pfizer Draws Skeptics Amid Concerns Over Outlook for COVID-Related Sales","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2228556987","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"The earning season of large-cap pharma is set to kick off this week with the first quarter financial","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The earning season of large-cap pharma is set to kick off this week with the first quarter financials of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ).

However, the company's stocks tanked in February 2022, when many investors realized a $10B impact on its future revenues from Apple's (AAPL) new privacy changes. In addition, Meta's image took a further beating when it announced its plans to charge a 47.5% commission rate in Horizon Worlds.</p><p>However, we think the reaction is overdone, given how <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/RBLX\">Roblox Corporation</a> (NYSE:RBLX) charges even higher rates at 72% for its world-building platform. Nonetheless, the company has yet to report profitability, despite its massive bookings of $2.7B in FY2021, Daily Active Users (DAUs) at 45.5M, and Hours Engaged at 41.4B. As a result, we believe that Meta may face similar profitability and monetization issues, given its $10B aggressive expenditures into the Metaverse in FY2021.</p><p>In the meantime, we encourage you to read our previous article on Meta and RBLX, which would help you better understand its position and market opportunities.</p><ul><li>Meta Platforms Vs. ByteDance: The Impact Of TikTok On Instagram</li><li>Roblox: Aggressively Diversifying Its User Demographics</li></ul><h2><b>The 'Controversial' Platform Fees</b></h2><p>On 13 April 2022, Meta invited criticism when the company announced its plans to charge creators a 47.5% commission on the sale of all digital assets and experiences developed in Horizon Worlds. It comprises 30% of platform fees through Meta Quest Store and another 17.5% of Horizon platform fees. Many saw the move as hypocritical, given how Meta had often criticized Apple's (AAPL) 30% commission rate on its App Store.</p><p>For reference, AAPL's App Store charged commissions in the range of 15% to 30%. The former rate applies to app developers earning less than $1M annually (accounting for 98% of its apps), while those earning over $1M will be subjected to the standard rate of 30% commission rate. On the other hand, Alphabet's (GOOG) (GOOGL) Google Play Store charged a 15% fee, regardless of the app developers' revenue. However, it is also important to note that AAPL historically charged a flat 30% rate since 2016 and GOOG since 2018, which was reduced only due to the court case between Epic Games and AAPL in 2020. Otherwise, we expect the duopoly would have continued to enjoy its massive revenue streams at the sky-high rate of 30%.</p><p>It is also important to note that the comparison is unfair, given how Meta's Horizon World and Apple's App Store are not apple to apple comparisons. Certain websites have also compared Meta's commission rate to the fees charged by the NFT marketplaces in the range of 2% to 2.5%. Again, not the best comparison. In our opinion, it would be more apt to compare the Horizon World to Roblox (RBLX), given how both platforms encourage digital world games and experiential building.</p><p><b>RBLX Cash Pay Out Structure</b></p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/07e480a761ba16ced05e0f59a42d76af\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"448\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Roblox</p><p></p><p>Based on its website, "Roblox pays creators and developers over 28 cents per dollar spent," i.e., 72% commission for the company. Now, compared to Meta's 47.5%, RBLX's 72% rate is definitely high. It comprises 19.6% of RBLX's share, 24.3% for App Store fees, 16.8% for platform hosting/ support, and 11.1% for platform investment. When we deduct away the App Store fees, we arrive at the same rate from Meta at 47.5%. Thus, Meta's claim that its rate is "competitive" with its peers in world-building platforms is undeniably valid. On an unrelated note, Meta's CTO Andrew Bosworth also noted that its 47.5% fee is similar to YouTube rates.</p><p>However, it is also alarming that RBLX has yet to report profitability despite charging such a high commission rate. In FY2021, the company reported revenues of $1.91B while generating a net income of -$491.65M. Nonetheless, Meta is also exploring a similar Horizon Worlds Creator Bonus program for US participants, similar to RBLX's Engagement-based Payouts (EBP) of 3.6% as a part of the latter's variable Premium Payouts to reward engaging digital experiences. As a result, the current proposed commission rates are not cut and dried.</p><p>Given that Meta is also looking to launch a mobile version, we are not sure how the company expects to extract profitability from the Horizon World. Unless the platform goes on the path of cloud gaming, which is currently favored by many game developers, such as Amazon (AMZN), Xbox, Sony (SNE), and Nvidia (NVDA), Meta would be forced to acquiesce to Apple App Store and Google Play Store's commission rate of 30% and 15%, respectively. Nonetheless, given Zuckerberg's vocal criticism of AAPL's 30% rate, it is apt that Meta's CTO Andrew Bosworth recently revealed in a tweet that the company is looking to release a web version of its Horizon Worlds platform. As a result, Meta's proposed commission rate would fall to 25% for the web version, instead of 47.5% through its Oculus Quest VR. The reduced fee is undeniably more palatable for many digital creators.</p><p>Meta had reported early successes with 300K Monthly Users in February 2022, representing a 10-fold growth since its public launch in December 2021. In comparison, RBLX had Daily Active Users (DAUs) of 45.5M as of December 2021, while Rec Room, another world-building platform available in VR and non-VR versions, reported over 37M Monthly Users with over 1M VR Active Users in February 2022. It is evident that Meta is also trying to significantly increase its reach into the non-VR user market, given how RBLX and Rec Room have reported much success with their non-VR versions. In addition, YTD, Meta only sold approximately 10M sets for its Oculus Quest, which dramatically restricts user adoption and the consequential growth of its Horizon Quest.</p><p>In order to recoup its lost advertising dollars from the AAPL fiasco, Meta is also looking to monetize its Horizon Quest through "advertising opportunities for brands around digital goods and immersive shopping." Its partnership with VNTANA, an e-commerce technology firm, will also allow 3D advertising in its Metaverse and its conventional social media platforms on Facebook and Instagram. Furthermore, with the potential launch of Meta's first generational AR glasses by 2024, Zuckerberg aims to "redefine our relationship with technology," akin to the introduction of smartphones by the iPhone back in 2007. Chris Barbour, director of augmented reality partnerships at Meta's Reality Labs unit, said:</p><blockquote>In a way, this offers a glimpse of what you might expect on future devices like AR glasses. (Reuters)</blockquote><p>Since Horizon Worlds is currently restricted to the US and Canada, we expect Meta to slowly open up the platform globally moving forward, given its early successes. In addition, since Meta is looking to go beyond VR to allow access from Facebook and Instagram apps, we expect more of its 3.6B monthly active users to potentially access Horizon World as part of the expanded Facebook experience. As a result, we expect Meta's Horizon World to perform well, with the global cloud gaming market expected to grow from $244M in 2020 to $21.95B in 2030, at a CAGR of 57.2%. Of course, assuming widespread adoption and success.</p><h2><b>So, Is FB & RBLX Stock A Buy, Sell, or Hold?</b></h2><h2></h2><p><b>FB & RBLX Projected Revenue and Net Income</b></p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cb54b22201f8270acda080923cfe7203\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"395\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>S&P Capital IQ</p><p></p><p>Meta is expected to grow its revenues and net income at a CAGR of 14.31% and 18.81% over the next three years, respectively. For FY2022, consensus estimates that Meta will report revenues of $131.79B and net incomes of $34.14B, representing YoY growth of 11.7% and a YoY decline of 13.2%, respectively. The decline in net income is partly attributed to AAPL's changes in privacy settings, resulting in reduced effectiveness in Meta's targeted ads. However, it is also important to note that the company is also spending massive Research and Development expenses of $10B on its Metaverse in FY2021, potentially contributing to its reduced net income. However, we are not concerned, given the company's massive Free Cash Flows of $39.1B in FY2021.</p><p>As for RBLX, the company is expected to report revenue growth at a CAGR of 20.39% over the next three years. For FY2022, consensus estimates that RBLX will report revenues of $3.02B, representing YoY growth of 58.1%. However, it is also important to note that the company has yet and will not be reporting net income profitability at least in the next four years, despite its fat commission rate. The lack of profitability is mainly attributed to RBLX spending more on its research and development to age up its younger user base beyond the current 13-year-olds, while also improving its "infrastructure and trust and safety." The latter is probably attributed to the raising concerns about the safety of its platform, given the recent news on sexual content and child pornography.</p><p>Meta is currently trading at an EV/NTM Revenue of 4.07x, lower than its 3Y mean of 6.79x. Given the market's over-reaction post FQ4'21 earnings call, the company is also trading at $210.18 on 14 April 2022, down 45% from its 52 weeks high of $384.33. Nonetheless, given that the company is still the largest social media company globally while generating steady YoY revenues growth, we expect the company's ambitious foray into the Metaverse to pay off once it has reached sufficient scale. However, no <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> would know precisely when. In the meantime, Meta's valuation will likely remain flat, unless it witnesses a positive catalyst in the form of recovering advertising dollars in its upcoming earnings call.</p><p>On the other hand, RBLX is currently trading at an EV/NTM Revenue of 7.72x, lower than its historical mean of 15.45x. The stock is also trading at $42.36 on 14 April 2022, down 70% from its 52 weeks high of $141.60, given the projected deceleration of revenue and booking growth post-pandemic. Despite the normalization of revenue growth, RBLX remains a buy, given its successful execution and monetization of Metaverse. However, the company's lack of profitability should be considered before adding more to your portfolios.</p><p>Therefore, we <i>reiterate Meta stock as a Buy for long-term investors, while re-rating RBLX stock as a speculative Buy.</i></p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Meta Vs.

Some are now historically cheap based on typical valuation ratios. For example,Ā <b>Resolute Forest ProductsĀ </b>( RFP 0.63% ), a Canadian producer of wood products, paper, pulp, and tissue, is currently trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of just 2.</p><p>2021 was a unique year in lumber, with sky-high prices last spring. Lumber prices, currently at $880 per 1,000 board feet, are still well-above pre-pandemic levels. And even with the Federal Reserve hiking interest rates, prices for the building material should remain elevated due to the national housing shortage, especially as homeowners are still eager to leverage higher housing prices into home improvements.</p><p>While analysts expect Resolute's earnings per share to cool off this year, it's still trading at a P/E of less than four based on earnings estimates for both this year and next. Resolute is also shifting its business through acquisitions and other moves to have more exposure to high-margin wood products, rather than paper-based products.</p><p>In other words, if lumber prices remain elevated, Resolute's profits still have the potential to grow from here, and the stock could easily double, or better, from a bit of multiple expansion.</p><h2>3. RH</h2><p><b>RH </b>( RH -5.29% ), formerly known as Restoration Hardware, may be one of the best examples of a stock that offers an appealing combination of growth and value.</p><p>The high-end home furnishings stock has a strong record -- the stock has increased nearly 1,000% thanks to its strong brand and the leadership of CEO Gary Friedman. Like other home furnishings companies, RH also boomed during the pandemic, driven by lockdowns and spending on things like home offices as Americans spent more time at home.</p><p>However, the stock has pulled back more recently, down about 50% from its peak a few months ago, and the company's recent guidance was modest, calling for just single-digit revenue growth in 2022.</p><p>As a result of the sell-off, the stock now trades at a P/E of just 13. While growth may be slow this year, the company has plenty of long-term potential, especially as it's experimenting with becoming a lifestyle brand by opening hotels and restaurants, and leasing private jets. It's also planning to launch a streaming service focused on architecture and design, reinforcing its own brand and meeting demand for HGTV-like video content. Additionally, its membership model helps drive customer loyalty and maintain strong operating margins.</p><p>With the stock down so much from last fall, now looks like a great time to buy.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Dirt-Cheap Stocks That Could Skyrocket</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\">\n3 Dirt-Cheap Stocks That Could Skyrocket\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-04-17 07:53 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/04/16/x-dirt-cheap-stocks-that-could-skyrocket/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>All of a sudden value stocks are hot.

And even with the Federal Reserve hiking interest rates, prices for the building material should remain elevated due to the national housing shortage, especially as homeowners are still eager to leverage higher housing prices into home improvements.While analysts expect Resolute's earnings per share to cool off this year, it's still trading at a P/E of less than four based on earnings estimates for both this year and next. Resolute is also shifting its business through acquisitions and other moves to have more exposure to high-margin wood products, rather than paper-based products.In other words, if lumber prices remain elevated, Resolute's profits still have the potential to grow from here, and the stock could easily double, or better, from a bit of multiple expansion.3. RHRH ( RH -5.29% ), formerly known as Restoration Hardware, may be one of the best examples of a stock that offers an appealing combination of growth and value.The high-end home furnishings stock has a strong record -- the stock has increased nearly 1,000% thanks to its strong brand and the leadership of CEO Gary Friedman. Like other home furnishings companies, RH also boomed during the pandemic, driven by lockdowns and spending on things like home offices as Americans spent more time at home.However, the stock has pulled back more recently, down about 50% from its peak a few months ago, and the company's recent guidance was modest, calling for just single-digit revenue growth in 2022.As a result of the sell-off, the stock now trades at a P/E of just 13. While growth may be slow this year, the company has plenty of long-term potential, especially as it's experimenting with becoming a lifestyle brand by opening hotels and restaurants, and leasing private jets. It's also planning to launch a streaming service focused on architecture and design, reinforcing its own brand and meeting demand for HGTV-like video content. Additionally, its membership model helps drive customer loyalty and maintain strong operating margins.With the stock down so much from last fall, now looks like a great time to buy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":242,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9083451680,"gmtCreate":1650157436238,"gmtModify":1676534657615,"author":{"id":"3579758808989513","authorId":"3579758808989513","name":"ACCY","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a44626552831eb06aa01cf85dcaf7422","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579758808989513","authorIdStr":"3579758808989513"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Bad š","listText":"Bad š","text":"Bad š","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9083451680","repostId":"2227986773","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2227986773","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1650153400,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2227986773?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-04-17 07:56","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Does Netflix Have a Cash Problem?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2227986773","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The company seems to be having trouble outgrowing its spending.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Streaming giant <b>Netflix</b> ( NFLX -2.65% ) has grown for years to become a titan in the entertainment industry with more than 221 million subscribers worldwide.

Customers seem to love the company's well-designed electric vehicles (EVs) while the bulls seem quite pleased with the 33% stock price rise in the last 12 months. On the other end, the bears are very skeptical of the sustainability of its outsized stock price run. After all, Tesla stock delivered more than a 15-fold return in the last five years.</p><p>But for potential investors thinking about buying the stock now, it is crucial to consider whether it is safe to invest in Tesla today. While that is not going to be an easy exercise, investors should at least consider these two questions about the company and its stock.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/42bdaade247c7cea04b918d57eb73d34\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Image source: Getty Images.</p><h2><b>1. Is Tesla a durable business?</b></h2><p>Tesla has reported some solid financials lately. After delivering its first profitable year in 2020, Tesla exceeded that performance in 2021. It delivered a record 936,222 EVs to customers, grew revenue and net profit by 73% and 665%, respectively, and expanded free cash flow by 80% to $5 billion.</p><p>But note that the last paragraph started out by using the word "lately." It's useful to also be aware that Tesla had never delivered a profitable year until 2020. It has been on the brink of bankruptcy a few times, most recently from 2017 to 2019. But as the worldwide transition from combustion engines into electric engines gained steam, Tesla was favorably positioned to capture the pent-up demand. And it did, as is evident by its solid numbers.</p><p>While the 2021 result was remarkable, it is still an outlier more than a norm. The biggest issue is that two profitable years provide little assurance that Tesla can sustain that in the coming years. As the car industry is highly cyclical, an economic downturn (such as a recession) will cause consumers to tighten their belts. When that happens, average folks tend to delay their purchase of high-value items like a car, which could reduce industry volume. We still do not know how Tesla will perform in such an environment.</p><p>On top of that, the EV race has intensified in recent years. While Tesla is still the dominant player -- with a 21% global market share in 2021, according to Autocar -- incumbents like <b>General Motors</b> and <b>Ford Motor Company</b> have big plans to ramp up their production. Tesla also faces competition from Chinese car companies like <b>BYD</b> and <b>Nio</b>. The former, backed by Warren Buffett, sold 593,745 EVs in 2021. BYD also announced that it would stop producing combustion engine vehicles to focus on EVs and plug-in hybrids.</p><p>In short, Tesla must execute flawlessly in the coming years to maintain its market share and stay profitable. While we do not know whether the company can sustain its strong execution, there is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> thing we do know for sure: Gone are the days when Tesla had the whole EV market to itself.</p><h2><b>2. Does Tesla stock offer a margin of safety?</b></h2><p>Ask any investor how to make money in the stock market, and the usual reply will be to buy a stock when the price is low and sell when the price is high. However, this argument is incomplete since an investor should also consider the intrinsic value of the stock. The key is to buy when the stock price is lower than the intrinsic value (and sell when it is above).</p><p>But estimating intrinsic value is not a simple task. Not only are there many methods to calculate the intrinsic value of a company, but every investor will use different variables to compute. It is fair to say that every investor will arrive at a different intrinsic value for the same company.</p><p>Enter: margin of safety. The idea is that when investors buy a stock at a price materially lower than its intrinsic value, they have room for errors in their estimation of its value. Even if they make mistakes, they generally lose little money since they buy the stock cheaply.</p><p>So is Tesla's stock cheap enough today to offer a margin of safety to investors? Let us consider a few simple metrics. As of writing, Tesla has a price-to-sales (P/S), price-to-book (P/B), and price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 21, 35, and 209. Comparatively, General Motors' P/S, P/B, and P/E ratios are 0.5, 1, and 5.9, respectively.</p><p>Tesla bulls will immediately cry foul, claiming that Tesla is fundamentally a different company from GM. While I agree with them that Tesla is not an average company, my argument is this: Is it worth 30 to 40 times more than GM? Or put it differently, is one Tesla equivalent to 30 to 40 GMs? To me, the answer is probably not.</p><h2><b>Back to the original question: Is Tesla stock safe to buy?</b></h2><p>There is no doubt that Tesla is a company with promising prospects. It is a leader in the EV industry and has significant investments in potentially major industries like autonomous vehicles, renewable energy, and others.</p><p>Still, I don't think it's safe to buy Tesla stock now with your hard-earned money. One reason is the company just turned profitable in 2020. It would need a few more profitable years before investors can safely assume the turnaround is permanent.

Customers seem to love the company's well-designed electric vehicles (EVs) while the bulls seem quite pleased with the 33% stock price rise in the last 12 months. On the other end, the bears are very skeptical of the sustainability of its outsized stock price run. After all, Tesla stock delivered more than a 15-fold return in the last five years.But for potential investors thinking about buying the stock now, it is crucial to consider whether it is safe to invest in Tesla today. While that is not going to be an easy exercise, investors should at least consider these two questions about the company and its stock.Image source: Getty Images.1. Is Tesla a durable business?Tesla has reported some solid financials lately. After delivering its first profitable year in 2020, Tesla exceeded that performance in 2021. It delivered a record 936,222 EVs to customers, grew revenue and net profit by 73% and 665%, respectively, and expanded free cash flow by 80% to $5 billion.But note that the last paragraph started out by using the word \"lately.\" It's useful to also be aware that Tesla had never delivered a profitable year until 2020. It has been on the brink of bankruptcy a few times, most recently from 2017 to 2019. But as the worldwide transition from combustion engines into electric engines gained steam, Tesla was favorably positioned to capture the pent-up demand. And it did, as is evident by its solid numbers.While the 2021 result was remarkable, it is still an outlier more than a norm. The biggest issue is that two profitable years provide little assurance that Tesla can sustain that in the coming years. As the car industry is highly cyclical, an economic downturn (such as a recession) will cause consumers to tighten their belts. When that happens, average folks tend to delay their purchase of high-value items like a car, which could reduce industry volume. We still do not know how Tesla will perform in such an environment.On top of that, the EV race has intensified in recent years. While Tesla is still the dominant player -- with a 21% global market share in 2021, according to Autocar -- incumbents like General Motors and Ford Motor Company have big plans to ramp up their production. Tesla also faces competition from Chinese car companies like BYD and Nio. The former, backed by Warren Buffett, sold 593,745 EVs in 2021. BYD also announced that it would stop producing combustion engine vehicles to focus on EVs and plug-in hybrids.In short, Tesla must execute flawlessly in the coming years to maintain its market share and stay profitable. While we do not know whether the company can sustain its strong execution, there is one thing we do know for sure: Gone are the days when Tesla had the whole EV market to itself.2. Does Tesla stock offer a margin of safety?Ask any investor how to make money in the stock market, and the usual reply will be to buy a stock when the price is low and sell when the price is high. However, this argument is incomplete since an investor should also consider the intrinsic value of the stock. The key is to buy when the stock price is lower than the intrinsic value (and sell when it is above).But estimating intrinsic value is not a simple task. Not only are there many methods to calculate the intrinsic value of a company, but every investor will use different variables to compute. It is fair to say that every investor will arrive at a different intrinsic value for the same company.Enter: margin of safety. The idea is that when investors buy a stock at a price materially lower than its intrinsic value, they have room for errors in their estimation of its value. Even if they make mistakes, they generally lose little money since they buy the stock cheaply.So is Tesla's stock cheap enough today to offer a margin of safety to investors? Let us consider a few simple metrics. As of writing, Tesla has a price-to-sales (P/S), price-to-book (P/B), and price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 21, 35, and 209. Comparatively, General Motors' P/S, P/B, and P/E ratios are 0.5, 1, and 5.9, respectively.Tesla bulls will immediately cry foul, claiming that Tesla is fundamentally a different company from GM. While I agree with them that Tesla is not an average company, my argument is this: Is it worth 30 to 40 times more than GM? Or put it differently, is one Tesla equivalent to 30 to 40 GMs? To me, the answer is probably not.Back to the original question: Is Tesla stock safe to buy?There is no doubt that Tesla is a company with promising prospects. It is a leader in the EV industry and has significant investments in potentially major industries like autonomous vehicles, renewable energy, and others.Still, I don't think it's safe to buy Tesla stock now with your hard-earned money. One reason is the company just turned profitable in 2020. It would need a few more profitable years before investors can safely assume the turnaround is permanent. Besides, its valuation is not cheap, which offers a very little margin of safety for investors.So unless investors are looking for some adrenaline rush, they will be better off staying from the stock. And even if they are looking for such excitement, they can consider buying a Tesla car instead.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":235,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":110467003,"gmtCreate":1622497616002,"gmtModify":1704185008216,"author":{"id":"3579758808989513","authorId":"3579758808989513","name":"ACCY","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a44626552831eb06aa01cf85dcaf7422","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579758808989513","authorIdStr":"3579758808989513"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Another tech player ","listText":"Another tech player ","text":"Another tech player","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/110467003","repostId":"1113386303","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1113386303","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622472571,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1113386303?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-31 22:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Turkeyās Second Biggest E-Commerce Platform Files for Nasdaq IPO","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1113386303","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"SEC filing comes after revenue more than doubled last year\nIt follows string of multi-billion dollar","content":"<ul>\n <li>SEC filing comes after revenue more than doubled last year</li>\n <li>It follows string of multi-billion dollar tech deals in Turkey</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/053dca0f1785d519785d4a999349c38c\" tg-width=\"4000\" tg-height=\"2546\"><span>Hepsiburada.com home page.</span></p>\n<p>Turkeyās second biggest online shopping platform by market share applied tolist its shareson Nasdaq amid a flurry of investor interest in the nationās burgeoningstart-upscene.</p>\n<p>Hepsiburada.com, formally known as D-Market Elektronik Hizmetler ve Ticaret AS, plans to sell shares on the tech-heavy U.S. equity gauge, according to the companyās prospectus filed to Securities and Exchange Commission on May 28.

He famously refused to communicate with his workforce via email. Even worse, he stood out thanks to a prickly personality that quickly seethed when confronted with unpleasant news. A 2002 profile in The Economist defined him as āparochial, stubborn, preoccupied with penny-pinching ā¦ a difficult man to work for.ā</p>\n<p><b>But ultimately, Ebbers stood out for being at the center of what was (at the time) the largest accounting fraud in U.S. history, which was followed by the harshest prison sentence ever imposed on a corporate executive for financial crimes.</b></p>\n<p><b>A Man In Search Of Himself:</b> Bernard John Ebbers was born Aug. 27, 1941, in Edmonton, Alberta, the second of five children. His father John was a traveling salesman and his peripatetic profession brought the family down from Canada into California, where he jettisoned his sales work and became an auto mechanic. The family later relocated to Gallup, New Mexico, where Ebbersā parents became teachers on the Navajo Nation Indian reservation.</p>\n<p>The Ebbers clan was back in Canada when Ebbers was a teenager and Bernie (as he was commonly known) came into adulthood unable to determine a course for his life. He attended Canadaās University of Alberta and Michiganās Calvin College before accepting a basketball scholarship to Mississippi College. But he was the victim of a robbery prior to his senior year that left him seriously injured and switched his attention from playing to coaching the junior varsity team.</p>\n<p>Ebbers graduated in 1967 majoring in physical education and minoring in secondary education. He supported himself during his college years by taking on a variety of odd jobs including a bouncer and milk delivery driver. He married his college sweetheart,<b>Linda Pigott,</b>after graduating and landed work teaching science to middle-school students while coaching high school basketball.</p>\n<p>But Ebbers didnāt stay very long in the school system. When his wife received a job offer as a teacher in another Mississippi town, the couple relocated and he found work managing a garment factory warehouse. By 1974, he tired of working for others and responded to a newspaper advertisement seeking a buyer for a motel in Columbia, Mississippi.</p>\n<p>Ebbersā approach to running a hospitality establishment sometimes bordered on the eccentric. He would distribute bathroom towels at the front desk and require guests to return them to avoid being charged for taking them. Nonetheless, he found a niche in hospitality management and by the early 1980s he owned and operated eight motels within Mississippi and Texas; he also picked up a car dealership that also proved profitable.</p>\n<p><b>Calling Out Around The World:</b>Ebbers might have remained in the Mississippi hospitality industry had it not been for the 1982 breakup of<b>AT&T Inc.'s</b> T 0.41%monopoly on the U.S. telephone system. This created a seismic shift in the telecommunications world by enabling other companies to begin reselling long-distance telephone services.</p>\n<p>In 1983, Ebbers and three friends met at a diner in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to consider the feasibility of pursuing this newly opened opportunity. Ebbers theorized that having control of his long-distance calling services could benefit his motel business. In the days before mobile phones, guests in lodging establishments in need of long-distance calling would either have to feed handfuls of quarters into payphones or make calls from their rooms, which usually came with extra fees.</p>\n<p>Ebbers and his pals decided to get into the telecommunications business with <b>Long Distance Discount Services,</b> which they established in 1985 with headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi, with Ebbers as CEO.</p>\n<p><b>Carl J. Aycock,</b>a Mississippi financial advisor who was among the early investors in LDDS, would later laugh at the unlikelihood of Ebbers running a telecom company.</p>\n<p>āThe only experience Bernie had before operating a long-distance company was he used the phone,ā Aycock quipped in a 1997 interview.</p>\n<p>Maybe Ebbers did not possess an encyclopedic knowledge of telecommunications technology, but the good fortune he enjoyed in the motel business transitioned to this unlikely setting. Within four years of its launch, LDDS was being publicly traded.</p>\n<p>Within 10 years of its opening, LDDS took on an almost Pac Man-style persona of gobbling up telecom firms in sight of the company, acquiring more than 60 different telecommunications company. By 1995, the company renamed itself LDDS WorldCom.</p>\n<p>Many of the companyās acquisitions were on the small side, and the company was never considered a major player in the telecom industry until its $720 million acquisition of <b>Advanced Telecommunications Corporation</b> in 1992.</p>\n<p>The unlikely acquisition came with Ebbersā ability to outbid industry titans AT&T and <b>Sprint Corporation,</b>both considerably larger players in this field.</p>\n<p>The one unfortunate development during this time was the end of Ebbersā marriage in 1997. He remarried in 1999 to <b>Kristie Webb.</b></p>\n<p>In February 1998, Ebbersā company launched its acquisition plans for <b>CompuServe</b> from <b>H&R Block Inc</b>.</p>\n<p>This transaction was followed by an astonishing spin of assets: LDDS sold the CompuServe Information Service portion of its acquisition to<b>America Online,</b>while retaining the CompuServe Network Services portion of the business. AOL simultaneously sold LDDS WorldCom its networking division, Advanced Network Services.</p>\n<p>In September 1998, LDDS WorldCom sealed a $37 billion union with <b>MCI Communications,</b>which created the largest corporate merger in U.S. history. The combined entity became MCI WorldCom, and for Ebbers it seemed that the sky was the limit ā except that Ebbersā ability to soar in the corporate skies resulted in an Icarus-worthy predicament.</p>\n<p><b>A Little Out Of Touch:</b>One year after the CompuServe and MCI deals, Ebbersā company boasted an 80,000-person workforce, a market capitalization of roughly $185 billion and its shares were trading at a peak of nearly $62.</p>\n<p>At the peak of the companyās success, Ebbers granted an interview to The New York Times aboard his 130-yacht, which he berthed in the resort town of Hilton Head, South Carolina. He claimed that the secret of his success was ānot as complicated as people make it out to be,ā adding that he surrounded himself with experts who advised him on which moves to make.</p>\n<p>āIām not an engineer by training,ā he said. āIām not an accountant by training. Iām the coach. Iām not the point guard who shoots the ball.ā</p>\n<p>But as the company grew larger, Ebbers penny-pinching behavior during his early motel management days became more extreme. WorldCom executives would later complain that Ebbers stopped providing free coffee within their offices and directed security guards fill the water coolers with tap water.</p>\n<p>And for the head of a telecommunications company, Ebbers was curiously distrustful of cutting-edge tech developments. He refused to communicate via email and would not carry a pager or a cell phone. He would explain his actions internally by repeating āThatās the way we did it at LDDS,ā and in a 1997 Business Week interview about this behavior he claimed that āwhen you come to the table with a (physical education) degree like I do, you don't know a lot about the technical stuff.ā</p>\n<p>While Ebbersā arms-length distance from personal technology could have been attributed to a zany quirk, there was another problem that couldnāt be happily shrugged away. As the company expanded, operational problems began to permeate the multiple divisions. Ebbers would become impatient or worse when confronted with problems, to the point that he would angrily demand that he only wanted to be addressed with good news.</p>\n<p><b>In retrospect, Ebbersā refusal to acknowledge that his company was growing too fast and too large proved to be a fatal flaw</b>, especially when the corporate culture began to manufacture good news in lieu of reporting problems. As a result, Ebbersā XL-sized business empire was sustained by taking on massive amounts of debt and highly improper accounting.</p>\n<p><b>Detour Off The Cliff:</b>The first cracks in this corporate story began in October 1999 when MCI WorldCom ā which had become the second-largest long-distance telephone company in the country ā announced a $129 billion merger with Sprint, the third-largest telecom carrier. Within nine months of this announcement, the merger was canceled in the face of pressure from U.S. and European regulators who feared a telecom monopoly would be born from this union. MCI WorldCom walked away from the failure by renaming itself as WorldCom.</p>\n<p>With the rise of the new millennium came the fall of the dot-com industry, and almost any company that had a tech-related aspect found itself taking a financial tumble. When Ebbersā company tried to cut corners and save money, it turned into an act of self-immolation.</p>\n<p>Worldcomās network systems engineering division exhausted its annual capital expenditures budget by November 2000, with a senior manager ordering a halt to processing payments for network systems vendors and suppliers until the beginning of 2001.</p>\n<p>The companyās chief technical officer,<b>Fred Briggs,</b>then ordered all of the labor associated with the capital projects in the network systems division to be booked as an expense rather than a capital project ā and his directive was shared with other divisions in the company.</p>\n<p>A WorldCom budget analyst named <b>Kim Amigh</b>in the companyās Richardson, Texas, office recognized the legal ramifications of intentionally mischaracterizing capital expenses and lodged a protest against the order. The directive was canceled and so was Amigh ā three months after his action, Amigh was abruptly laid off from the company.</p>\n<p>But Vice President of Internal Audit <b>Cynthia Cooper</b> learned of Amighās findings and picked up his trail. Her department began combing through WorldComās accounts and found $2 billion that the company claimed in its public filings was spent on capital expenditures during the first three quarters of 2001 ā except that the funds were never authorized for that purpose and were clearly operating costs moved into the capital expenditure accounting as a way to make WorldCom look more profitable.</p>\n<p>Cooper could not find anyone in the WorldCom leadership ranks to explain the $2 billion discrepancy. Most executives said it was a āprepaid capacity,ā a meaningless term which they couldnāt define when pressed by Cooper.</p>\n<p>And Cooper was not alone in her suspicions. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission could not fathom how WorldCom continued to claim robust profits during the dot-com period while its competitors were operating at a loss, and it sent forth a āRequest for Informationā to learn the secret of its success.</p>\n<p>Adding to this chaos were Ebbersā personal financial woes, which became exacerbated during to dot-com crisis by margin calls on his WorldCom shares, which were tanking as the economy plummeted into a recession.</p>\n<p>To alleviate his monetary pain, Ebbers borrowed $50 million from WorldCom in September 2000 ā and then borrowed again and again. By April 2002, Ebbers was $400 million in debt to WorldCom and the board of directors demanded his resignation, which he provided.</p>\n<p>In June 2002, WorldCom acknowledged its earnings reports contained $3.9 billion in accounting misstatements, with the figure later adjusted to $11 billion. In July 2002, the company declared bankruptcy and was delisted from public trading. Also during that month, Ebbers was called before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services to explain what happened. He pleaded the Fifth Amendment.</p>\n<p><b>Roadās End:</b>The efforts to bring Ebbers to trial got off to a weird start when the State of Oklahoma jumped the gun with a 15-count indictment, only to drop its charges in favor of federal prosecution.</p>\n<p>Ebbers was indicted in May 2004 on seven counts of filing false statements with securities regulators plus one count each of conspiracy and securities fraud. Ebbers agreed to testify on his behalf, which many observers later considered to be a major mistake because he came across as evasive and unconvincing when insisting WorldComās downfall was solely the fault of his subordinates and that he was ignorant about how his company worked.</p>\n<p>āI know what I donāt know,ā Ebbers said during his trial. āTo this day, I donāt know technology, and I donāt know finance or accounting.ā</p>\n<p>Ebbers was found guilty on all counts and was sentenced to 25 years in prison, the longest sentence ever handed down in U.S. history for a financial fraud case against a corporate executive.</p>\n<p>He remained free on bail while fighting to overturn the verdict, but the conviction was upheld in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in July 2006. Two months later, he drove himself in his luxury Mercedes-Benz to a low-security Louisiana prison to begin his sentence. Two years later, his wife Kristie successfully filed for divorce.</p>\n<p>After 13 years behind bars, Ebbers was granted a compassionate release on Dec. 21, 2019, due to a deteriorating state of health that included macular degeneration that left him legally blind, anemia, a weakened heart condition and the beginnings of dementia. He returned to his home in Brookhaven, Mississippi, and passed away on Feb. 2, 2020.</p>\n<p>In defining his rise to the top, Ebbers harkened back to his basketball days by insisting, āThe coach's job is to get the best players and get them to play together.ā But in explaining his fall from grace, Ebbers forgot that the core of coaching is accepting responsibility for the teamās performance and he blamed his ābest playersā for not being able to āplay togetherā while absolving himself from their errors.</p>\n<p>Said Ebbers when confronted with his ultimate failure as the corporate equivalent of a coach: āI didn't have anything to apologize for.ā</p>\n<p></p>","source":"lsy1606299360108","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

He famously refused to communicate with his workforce via email. Even worse, he stood out thanks to a prickly personality that quickly seethed when confronted with unpleasant news. A 2002 profile in The Economist defined him as āparochial, stubborn, preoccupied with penny-pinching ā¦ a difficult man to work for.ā\nBut ultimately, Ebbers stood out for being at the center of what was (at the time) the largest accounting fraud in U.S. history, which was followed by the harshest prison sentence ever imposed on a corporate executive for financial crimes.\nA Man In Search Of Himself:Ā Bernard John Ebbers was born Aug. 27, 1941, in Edmonton, Alberta, the second of five children. His father John was a traveling salesman and his peripatetic profession brought the family down from Canada into California, where he jettisoned his sales work and became an auto mechanic. The family later relocated to Gallup, New Mexico, where Ebbersā parents became teachers on the Navajo Nation Indian reservation.\nThe Ebbers clan was back in Canada when Ebbers was a teenager and Bernie (as he was commonly known) came into adulthood unable to determine a course for his life. HeĀ attended Canadaās University of Alberta and Michiganās Calvin College before accepting a basketball scholarship to Mississippi College. But he was the victim of a robbery prior to his senior year that left him seriously injured and switched his attention from playing to coaching the junior varsity team.\nEbbers graduated in 1967 majoring in physical education and minoring in secondary education. He supported himself during his college years by taking on a variety of odd jobs including a bouncer and milk delivery driver. He married his college sweetheart,Linda Pigott,after graduating and landed work teaching science to middle-school students while coaching high school basketball.\nBut Ebbers didnāt stay very long in the school system. When his wife received a job offer as a teacher in another Mississippi town, the couple relocated and he found work managing a garment factory warehouse. By 1974, he tired of working for others and responded to a newspaper advertisement seeking a buyer for a motel in Columbia, Mississippi.\nEbbersā approach to running a hospitality establishment sometimes bordered on the eccentric.Ā He would distribute bathroom towels at the front desk and require guests to return them to avoid being charged for taking them. Nonetheless, he found a niche in hospitality management and by the early 1980s he owned and operated eight motels within Mississippi and Texas; he also picked up a car dealership that also proved profitable.\nCalling Out Around The World:Ebbers might have remained in the Mississippi hospitality industry had it not been for the 1982 breakup ofAT&T Inc.'sĀ T 0.41%monopoly on the U.S. telephone system. This created a seismic shift in the telecommunications world by enabling other companies to begin reselling long-distance telephone services.\nIn 1983, Ebbers and three friends met at a diner in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to consider the feasibility of pursuing this newly opened opportunity. Ebbers theorized that having control of his long-distance calling services could benefit his motel business. In the days before mobile phones, guests in lodging establishments in need of long-distance calling would either have to feed handfuls of quarters into payphones or make calls from their rooms, which usually came with extra fees.\nEbbers and his pals decided to get into the telecommunications business withĀ Long Distance Discount Services,Ā which they established in 1985 with headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi, with Ebbers as CEO.\nCarl J. Aycock,a Mississippi financial advisor who was among the early investors in LDDS, would later laugh at the unlikelihood of Ebbers running a telecom company.\nāThe only experience Bernie had before operating a long-distance company was he used the phone,ā Aycock quipped in a 1997 interview.\nMaybe Ebbers did not possess an encyclopedic knowledge of telecommunications technology, but the good fortune he enjoyed in the motel business transitioned to this unlikely setting.

He remarried in 1999 toĀ Kristie Webb.\nIn February 1998, Ebbersā company launched its acquisition plans forĀ CompuServeĀ fromĀ H&R Block Inc.\nThis transaction was followed by an astonishing spin of assets: LDDS sold the CompuServe Information Service portion of its acquisition toAmerica Online,while retaining the CompuServe Network Services portion of the business. AOL simultaneously sold LDDS WorldCom its networking division, Advanced Network Services.\nIn September 1998, LDDS WorldCom sealed a $37 billion union withĀ MCI Communications,which created the largest corporate merger in U.S. history. The combined entity became MCI WorldCom, and for Ebbers it seemed that the sky was the limit āĀ except that Ebbersā ability to soar in the corporate skies resulted in an Icarus-worthy predicament.\nA Little Out Of Touch:One year after the CompuServe and MCI deals, Ebbersā company boasted an 80,000-person workforce, a market capitalization of roughly $185 billion and its shares were trading at a peak of nearly $62.\nAt the peak of the companyās success, Ebbers granted an interview to The New York Times aboard his 130-yacht, which he berthed in the resort town of Hilton Head, South Carolina. He claimed that the secret of his success was ānot as complicated as people make it out to be,ā adding that he surrounded himself with experts who advised him on which moves to make.\nāIām not an engineer by training,ā he said. āIām not an accountant by training. Iām the coach. Iām not the point guard who shoots the ball.ā\nBut as the company grew larger, Ebbers penny-pinching behavior during his early motel management days became more extreme.

Until revenue generates profit and its valuation is attractive, I suggest avoiding the stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":40,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":899786215,"gmtCreate":1628215477237,"gmtModify":1703503297292,"author":{"id":"3579758808989513","authorId":"3579758808989513","name":"ACCY","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a44626552831eb06aa01cf85dcaf7422","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579758808989513","authorIdStr":"3579758808989513"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow nice! ?","listText":"Wow nice! ?","text":"Wow nice! ?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/899786215","repostId":"1110216837","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":127,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":127009686,"gmtCreate":1624799508945,"gmtModify":1703845296830,"author":{"id":"3579758808989513","authorId":"3579758808989513","name":"ACCY","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a44626552831eb06aa01cf85dcaf7422","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579758808989513","authorIdStr":"3579758808989513"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Pls like!

That's because the Oracle of Omaha's track record is virtually unsurpassed. Since taking the reins of <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> (NYSE:BRK.A)(NYSE:BRK.B) in the mid-1960s, Buffett's company has averaged an annual return of 20%. This works out to an aggregate gain of greater than 2,800,000% for its Class A shares.</p>\n<p>Although Buffett isn't perfect, he and his investing team have a knack for identifying attractively valued businesses that have clear competitive advantages. As we prepare to move into the second half of 2021, the following five Buffett stocks stand out as those that should be bought hand over fist.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1077c8372814d2b8150e933b4c608005\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.</span></p>\n<h2>Amazon</h2>\n<p>Even though Buffett's investing lieutenants, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, are the architects behind Berkshire Hathaway's stake in <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN), it's arguably the Buffett stock that should be bought most aggressively ahead of the second half of the year.</p>\n<p>As most folks probably know, Amazon is an e-commerce juggernaut. Based on an April report from eMarketer, the company effectively controls $0.40 of every $1 spent online in the United States. It's also pivoted its online retail popularity into signing up more than 200 million people to its Prime program worldwide. The fees Amazon collects from Prime help it to undercut its competition on price. And it certainly doesn't hurt that Prime members tend to spend many multiples more than non-Prime shoppers during the course of the year.</p>\n<p>But it's the company's cloud infrastructure service, Amazon Web Services (AWS), that has truly budded into a star. Since the operating margins associated with cloud infrastructure are considerably higher than what Amazon nets from retail and advertising, AWS' growth is leading to a surge in operating cash flow. If investors were to continue to pay the midpoint of Amazon's operating cash flow multiple over the past decade, it could hit $10,000 a share by 2025.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b18b49b2b35da2fc49e0a83b883d1c22\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Bristol Myers Squibb</h2>\n<p>Pharmaceutical stocks are money machines, and none looks to be more attractive on a valuation basis than <b>Bristol Myers Squibb</b> (NYSE:BMY).</p>\n<p>One reason to be excited about this drug developer is its organic growth potential. Eliquis, which was co-developed with <b>Pfizer</b>, has blossomed into the world's leading oral anticoagulant, with sales expected to surpass $10 billion in 2021. Meanwhile, dozens of additional clinical trials are underway for cancer immunotherapy Opdivo, which generated $7 billion in sales last year. This offers plenty of opportunity to expand Opdivo's label and pump up its pricing power.</p>\n<p>Another reason Bristol Myers Squibb is such an intriguing stock is its November 2019 acquisition of cancer and immunology company Celgene. Buying Celgene brought the blockbuster multiple-myeloma drug Revlimid into the fold. Revlimid has sustainably grown its annual sales by a double-digit percentage for more than a decade, with label expansion, longer duration of use, and pricing power all playing a role. This key treatment, which topped $12 billion in sales last year, is protected from a full onslaught of generic competition until early 2026. That means Bristol Myers will be rolling in the dough for another five years, at minimum.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1b152e369d7c967dcbc926192ee888c1\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"531\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Mastercard</h2>\n<p>Everyone seems to be looking for the smartest recovery play from the pandemic. Payment processor <b>Mastercard</b> (NYSE:MA) might well be the safest way to take advantage of a steady uptick in consumer and enterprise spending.</p>\n<p>Mastercard isn't a cheap stock by any means -- at 36 times Wall Street's forward-year earnings consensus -- but it benefits from a simple numbers game. While economic contractions and recessions are inevitable, these periods of turbulence tend to be short-lived. By comparison, economic expansions often last many years. Buying into Mastercard allows investors to take full advantage of these long periods of economic expansion and robust spending. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Mastercard has the second-highest share of credit-card network purchase volume in the U.S., the leading market for consumption.</p>\n<p>Investors can also sleep easy with the understanding that Mastercard strictly sticks to payment facilitation. Even though some of its peers also lend, and are therefore able to generate interest income and fees during bull markets, Mastercard has avoided becoming a lender. It's something you'll truly appreciate when a recession strikes. Whereas most financial stocks will be forced to set aside capital to cover credit or loan delinquencies, Mastercard won't have to. This is a big reason it bounces back from recessions quicker than most financial stocks.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e4e1a1fe028efa4c966b66ef2cd466f5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Teva Pharmaceutical Industries</h2>\n<p>If you have an appetite for turnaround plays, brand-name and generic-drug developer <b>Teva Pharmaceutical Industries</b> (NYSE:TEVA) is the stock to buy hand over fist for the second half of 2021. Like Amazon, it's a stock that was added to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio by either Combs or Weschler and not Buffett.</p>\n<p>While there's no denying that Teva has its fair share of hurdles to overcome, the company's turnaround-focused CEO, Kare Schultz, has been a blessing. Since taking the helm less than four years ago, Schultz has helped shave off more than $10 billion in net debt, and he's overseen the reduction of roughly $3 billion in annual operating expenses. There's more work to do to improve Teva's balance sheet, but the company is very clearly on much firmer ground than it was back in 2016-2017.</p>\n<p>Schultz also has the potential to play peacemaker for a number of outstanding lawsuits targeting Teva's role in the opioid crisis. If this litigation can be resolved with minimal cash outlay, Teva's valuation could soar. At just 4 times the company's projected earnings in 2021, Teva is about as cheap as a healthcare stock can get.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/44a30c4dfd6886a29e22d3c6558c3e56\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Bank of America</h2>\n<p>Lastly, bank stock <b>Bank of America</b> (NYSE:BAC) has the look of a company that can be confidently bought hand over fist for the second half of 2021.</p>\n<p>For much of the past decade, the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates at or near historic lows. That's meant less in the way of interest income for banks. But the latest update from the nation's central bank suggests that interest rates could begin creeping up in 2023, a year earlier than previously forecast. Bank of America is the most interest-sensitive money-center bank. According to its first-quarter investor presentation, BofA would generate $8.3 billion in net interest income on a 100-basis-point shift in the interest rate yield curve. Translation: Bank of America's profits should rocket higher beginning in 2023-2024.</p>\n<p>At the same time, BofA has done an outstanding job of controlling its costs and improving its operating efficiency. Investments in digitization have resulted in higher mobile app and digital banking use, which is allowing the company to consolidate some of its branches. Even with its shares at a 13-year high, Bank of America has plenty left in the tank.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>5 Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist for the Second Half of 2021</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n5 Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist for the Second Half of 2021\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-27 08:55 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/26/buffett-stocks-buy-hand-over-fist-second-half-2021/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>When Warren Buffett buys or sells a stock, Wall Street and retail investors tend to pay very close attention.

This works out to an aggregate gain of greater than 2,800,000% for its Class A shares.\nAlthough Buffett isn't perfect, he and his investing team have a knack for identifying attractively valued businesses that have clear competitive advantages. As we prepare to move into the second half of 2021, the following five Buffett stocks stand out as those that should be bought hand over fist.\nBerkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.\nAmazon\nEven though Buffett's investing lieutenants, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, are the architects behind Berkshire Hathaway's stake in Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), it's arguably the Buffett stock that should be bought most aggressively ahead of the second half of the year.\nAs most folks probably know, Amazon is an e-commerce juggernaut. Based on an April report from eMarketer, the company effectively controls $0.40 of every $1 spent online in the United States. It's also pivoted its online retail popularity into signing up more than 200 million people to its Prime program worldwide. The fees Amazon collects from Prime help it to undercut its competition on price. And it certainly doesn't hurt that Prime members tend to spend many multiples more than non-Prime shoppers during the course of the year.\nBut it's the company's cloud infrastructure service, Amazon Web Services (AWS), that has truly budded into a star. Since the operating margins associated with cloud infrastructure are considerably higher than what Amazon nets from retail and advertising, AWS' growth is leading to a surge in operating cash flow. If investors were to continue to pay the midpoint of Amazon's operating cash flow multiple over the past decade, it could hit $10,000 a share by 2025.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBristol Myers Squibb\nPharmaceutical stocks are money machines, and none looks to be more attractive on a valuation basis than Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY).\nOne reason to be excited about this drug developer is its organic growth potential. Eliquis, which was co-developed with Pfizer, has blossomed into the world's leading oral anticoagulant, with sales expected to surpass $10 billion in 2021. Meanwhile, dozens of additional clinical trials are underway for cancer immunotherapy Opdivo, which generated $7 billion in sales last year. This offers plenty of opportunity to expand Opdivo's label and pump up its pricing power.\nAnother reason Bristol Myers Squibb is such an intriguing stock is its November 2019 acquisition of cancer and immunology company Celgene. Buying Celgene brought the blockbuster multiple-myeloma drug Revlimid into the fold. Revlimid has sustainably grown its annual sales by a double-digit percentage for more than a decade, with label expansion, longer duration of use, and pricing power all playing a role. This key treatment, which topped $12 billion in sales last year, is protected from a full onslaught of generic competition until early 2026. That means Bristol Myers will be rolling in the dough for another five years, at minimum.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nMastercard\nEveryone seems to be looking for the smartest recovery play from the pandemic. Payment processor Mastercard (NYSE:MA) might well be the safest way to take advantage of a steady uptick in consumer and enterprise spending.\nMastercard isn't a cheap stock by any means -- at 36 times Wall Street's forward-year earnings consensus -- but it benefits from a simple numbers game. While economic contractions and recessions are inevitable, these periods of turbulence tend to be short-lived. By comparison, economic expansions often last many years. Buying into Mastercard allows investors to take full advantage of these long periods of economic expansion and robust spending. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Mastercard has the second-highest share of credit-card network purchase volume in the U.S., the leading market for consumption.\nInvestors can also sleep easy with the understanding that Mastercard strictly sticks to payment facilitation. Even though some of its peers also lend, and are therefore able to generate interest income and fees during bull markets, Mastercard has avoided becoming a lender. It's something you'll truly appreciate when a recession strikes. Whereas most financial stocks will be forced to set aside capital to cover credit or loan delinquencies, Mastercard won't have to. This is a big reason it bounces back from recessions quicker than most financial stocks.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nTeva Pharmaceutical Industries\nIf you have an appetite for turnaround plays, brand-name and generic-drug developer Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE:TEVA) is the stock to buy hand over fist for the second half of 2021. Like Amazon, it's a stock that was added to Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio by either Combs or Weschler and not Buffett.\nWhile there's no denying that Teva has its fair share of hurdles to overcome, the company's turnaround-focused CEO, Kare Schultz, has been a blessing. Since taking the helm less than four years ago, Schultz has helped shave off more than $10 billion in net debt, and he's overseen the reduction of roughly $3 billion in annual operating expenses. There's more work to do to improve Teva's balance sheet, but the company is very clearly on much firmer ground than it was back in 2016-2017.\nSchultz also has the potential to play peacemaker for a number of outstanding lawsuits targeting Teva's role in the opioid crisis. If this litigation can be resolved with minimal cash outlay, Teva's valuation could soar. At just 4 times the company's projected earnings in 2021, Teva is about as cheap as a healthcare stock can get.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nBank of America\nLastly, bank stock Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) has the look of a company that can be confidently bought hand over fist for the second half of 2021.\nFor much of the past decade, the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates at or near historic lows. That's meant less in the way of interest income for banks. But the latest update from the nation's central bank suggests that interest rates could begin creeping up in 2023, a year earlier than previously forecast. Bank of America is the most interest-sensitive money-center bank. According to its first-quarter investor presentation, BofA would generate $8.3 billion in net interest income on a 100-basis-point shift in the interest rate yield curve. Translation: Bank of America's profits should rocket higher beginning in 2023-2024.\nAt the same time, BofA has done an outstanding job of controlling its costs and improving its operating efficiency. Investments in digitization have resulted in higher mobile app and digital banking use, which is allowing the company to consolidate some of its branches. Even with its shares at a 13-year high, Bank of America has plenty left in the tank.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":56,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":884192651,"gmtCreate":1631864976173,"gmtModify":1676530655992,"author":{"id":"3579758808989513","authorId":"3579758808989513","name":"ACCY","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a44626552831eb06aa01cf85dcaf7422","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579758808989513","authorIdStr":"3579758808989513"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sounds great! ?","listText":"Sounds great! ?","text":"Sounds great! ?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/884192651","repostId":"1189843549","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1189843549","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1631864545,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1189843549?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-17 15:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AMD Stock: Strong Momentum And Path To Strong Compounded Annual Returns","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1189843549","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"Summary\n\nIn the dark days of 2015 and 2016, AMD traded for less than $3 and the company was loaded d","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>In the dark days of 2015 and 2016, AMD traded for less than $3 and the company was loaded down with junk bonds.</li>\n <li>Today, AMD's tech is getting positive reviews, the balance sheet is cleaned up, and there are big opportunities to continue grabbing market share in data centers.</li>\n <li>AMD just raised revenue and margin guidance, with some analysts expecting AMD to earn as much as $7 per share by 2024.</li>\n <li>Why momentum investing works and how to execute it with AMD.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ad09afc88b98d84d101279ec2e71adec\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"896\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>vchal/iStock via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., better known as AMD, is one of the most popular NASDAQ stocks over the past few years with young investors, many of whom are into cryptocurrency and/or gaming.

Now AMD has a bunch of positive momentum, both in the share price and the business. Will AMD keep winning? I believe so, and I'll explain why.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/79d63abb98a3a3779a37169300fade7a\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<ul>\n <li>In the past, lack of diversification and too much leverage forced AMD to raise capital during down cycles through junk bonds, often via convertible debt. Convertible debt is expensive because it generally pays interest and dilutes shareholders. As a general rule, convertible debt is generally preferred by savvy high-net-worth investors and institutions while retail investors tend to assume the common stock represents the whole company (it doesn't) and allow Wall Street to take free shots at them. Convertible debt tends to be issued by companies with low credit ratings and/or speculative business prospects. AMD and other chip companies like Micron (MU) have greatly improved their financial position over time, leading to the convertible debt no longer being necessary in many cases. The new generation of management teams at semiconductors has figured out how to manage risk and leverage better, allowing them to firmly take advantage of one of the biggest growth opportunities for any industry in the 21st century. You can get around the problem of overleverage, in general, by investing in the stocks of companies that have at least investment-grade credit ratings (research showst he returns tend to be better anyway for companies with strong credit ratings). AMD's hard work in diversifying the business and reducing debt has paid off, and the company now has an investment-grade credit rating. I would expect the markets to offer AMD capital at lower and lower rates relative to the market at large, bringing a virtuous circle that should act as a great tailwind going forward.</li>\n <li>AMD has announced that they are acquiring chipmaker Xilinx (XLNX), and the consensus opinion seems to be that it's a good deal from a strategic standpoint (some deal analysis here). The deal may or may not actually close though, and Chinese regulators need to approve the deal. If the deal doesn't close, I don't view it as posing a large price risk to AMD, but it would be a nice kicker.</li>\n <li>The party may just be getting started. A recent piece in Barron's suggested that AMD could earn over $7 per share in 2024 if the company reinvests some of its profit in the business.</li>\n <li>Management may be being fairly conservative with their earnings guidance, as evidenced by how much the company has crushed earnings estimates in recent quarters. Most analysts only have estimates going out to 2023, but they do have AMD growing earnings by 20+ percent annually each year. I think these estimates are too low, and AMD stock should appreciate more or less in line with earnings growth. $3.50 in 2022 earnings and a 36x multiple would imply a 12-month price target of roughly $126 for AMD (20 percent upside), with more upside to come if they can get the supply chain caught up.</li>\n <li>AMD believes data centers are a $30 billion-plus annual total-addressable-market opportunity. As was noted on the mostrecent conference call, AMD is steadily pulling market share for the server category, which includes data centers. The idea here is that AMD has built superior technology than Intel (INTC) over the past few years, forcing Intel to play catch-up (which takes a long time in the tech space) and giving AMD a chance to press its advantage.</li>\n <li>AMD outsources manufacturing to Taiwan, which does create risk for the company if the China/Taiwan geopolitical situation changes. Additionally, the Xilinx acquisition requires Chinese approval, meaning that AMD has risk from a couple of different angles from China. So far, thechip shortage has somewhat constrained AMD's ability to supply the market, with lead times higher there than with their competitors. On the flip side, if the chip shortage does ease, this could be a positive catalyst for the company.</li>\n <li>Intel is the elephant in the semiconductor industry, but AMD has outmaneuvered Intel at every turn so far since Lisa Su took over. Intel stock offers a much lower price to earnings multiple than AMD, but lower growth prospects.Recent newsis that Intel is willing to cut server CPU prices to win business back, but the AMD chips compare favorably on performance and energy consumption. Winning semiconductor market share is more than cutting prices, if you sell cheap chips that are inefficient and cause your customers to have to spend more on electricity, then cutting prices isn't going to help you as much as you think. Due to the ongoing carrying costs of data centers, AMD can win market share by building technology alone, no matter what pricing strategy their competitors do.</li>\n <li>There are macro and micro risks to AMD. The macro risks are well-known and mainly relate to geopolitics, supply chain issues, and the global economy at large. The micro issues with AMD often relate to its perpetual status as the underdog. Intel, for example, has a greater market share and more R&D resources, but AMD has gained an advantage in technology over them. To win in the market, AMD must press this advantage and reinvest in R&D. After all, investing in technology is high-risk, high-reward. Winning tech companies make fortunes for their investors while losing ones tend to be forgotten to history. This is one reason why momentum investing and technology stocks go hand in hand.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>AMD Stock Forecast</b></p>\n<p>Academic research generally holds that investors underreact to success when pricing the stocks of winning businesses. This has to do with behavioral finance factors, like investors taking their profits and spending them while holding losing stocks (known as the disposition effect), as well as business factors (good managements tend to keep winning). This leads to returns above 20 percent annually for winning stocks in many cases. While the semiconductor business is cyclical, meaning that AMD shareholders may want to sell when the cycle inevitably turns again, AMD is one of the cleanest momentum stocks on the market right now.</p>\n<p>I wouldn't be surprised in the least if the company rises another 20-25 percent from here in the next 12 months. If the Barron's earnings call is correct, AMD should trade close to $200 by 2024 if the PE can remain at least in the 28-30x range, for an annual compound return of roughly 25 percent. While there are risks related to the semiconductor cycle, geopolitics, and competition, AMD seems to be one of the best buys in tech today.</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>AMD Stock: Strong Momentum And Path To Strong Compounded Annual Returns</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nAMD Stock: Strong Momentum And Path To Strong Compounded Annual Returns\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-17 15:42 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4455692-amd-stock-strong-momentum-and-path-to-strong-compounded-annual-returns><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nIn the dark days of 2015 and 2016, AMD traded for less than $3 and the company was loaded down with junk bonds.\nToday, AMD's tech is getting positive reviews, the balance sheet is cleaned up,...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4455692-amd-stock-strong-momentum-and-path-to-strong-compounded-annual-returns\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AMD":"ē¾å½č¶ å¾®å ¬åø"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4455692-amd-stock-strong-momentum-and-path-to-strong-compounded-annual-returns","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1189843549","content_text":"Summary\n\nIn the dark days of 2015 and 2016, AMD traded for less than $3 and the company was loaded down with junk bonds.\nToday, AMD's tech is getting positive reviews, the balance sheet is cleaned up, and there are big opportunities to continue grabbing market share in data centers.\nAMD just raised revenue and margin guidance, with some analysts expecting AMD to earn as much as $7 per share by 2024.\nWhy momentum investing works and how to execute it with AMD.\n\nvchal/iStock via Getty Images\nAdvanced Micro Devices, Inc., better known asĀ AMD, is one of the most popular NASDAQ stocks over the past few years with young investors, many of whom are into cryptocurrency and/or gaming.

While there are risks related to the semiconductor cycle, geopolitics, and competition, AMD seems to be one of the best buys in tech today.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":95,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":882067473,"gmtCreate":1631632325592,"gmtModify":1676530595996,"author":{"id":"3579758808989513","authorId":"3579758808989513","name":"ACCY","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a44626552831eb06aa01cf85dcaf7422","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579758808989513","authorIdStr":"3579758808989513"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Add position ??","listText":"Add position ??","text":"Add position ??","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/882067473","repostId":"1118676828","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1118676828","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":1631631830,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1118676828?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-14 23:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Moderna stock jumped 4% in morning trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1118676828","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Moderna stock jumped 4% in morning tradingĀ asĀ a recent study found that the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine","content":"<p>Moderna stock jumped 4% in morning trading as a recent study found that the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine produces higher antibody levels than the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/289c5ec428971234976d932651a5f86d\" tg-width=\"840\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<ul>\n <li>A recent study found that the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine produces higher antibody levels than the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.</li>\n <li>This is possibly due to its higher mRNA content and a longer waiting period between doses.</li>\n <li>Antibody tests are not entirely predictive of the bodyās immunity against COVID-19.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>A recent study found that the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine produced twice as many antibodies in recipients as the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.</p>\n<p>The August study, published in <i>JAMA</i>, compared the antibody levels of 1647 healthcare workers before and six to 10 weeks after vaccination.

Shoppers use the Amazon app on their smartphones to gain access to the store.</p>\n<p>The system is powered by computer vision, various sensors, and artificial intelligence algorithms to track customers' movements as they shop. It then detects when items are taken from the shelf and placed in a shopper's bag or basket or perhaps returned to the shelf. Once the user leaves the store, the purchased items are tallied on a digital register tape, and the total is charged to their payment method on file.</p>\n<p>Since the first location opened nearly five years ago, Amazon has worked to perfect its technology, testing it in a variety of location sizes and formats. In addition, the company has expanded beyond the initial Amazon Go stores, introducing the hyperÄonvenient solution in several Amazon Fresh locations and full-sized grocery stores.</p>\n<p>Amazon also has some deals with third-party retailers, licensing the tech to privately held airport-shop operator OTG. The company announced early last year that the system would be used at the CIBO Express Market in Newark <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LFG.AU\">Liberty</a> International Airport and LaGuardia Airport, with other locations to come.</p>\n<p>This marks the first time Amazon has used the technology on such a large scale, allowing shoppers to scan the app or insert a credit card associated with their accounts. Customers can also use the company's contactless palm-scanning system, which is also associated with their Amazon Prime accounts.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F642596%2Fa-person-shopping-for-groceries-in-an-organic-health-food-store.jpg&w=700&op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>A $50 billion market opportunity</h3>\n<p>Skipping the checkout line is an idea whose time has come. Younger and more tech-savvy consumers are likely to quickly embrace the technology, which might still be intimidating to some shoppers. This changing consumer paradigm represents a large and growing opportunity for Amazon.</p>\n<p>In 2018, the size of the automated retail market was estimated at $50 billion, according to estimates generated by Loop Ventures.

The cutting-edge system lets customers pick up items and simply walk out of the store. Once they depart, the purchases are charged to their account.\nThis could be the start of a whole new era for grocery stores, allowing consumers to skip the checkout line altogether and simply take their items and go. This also marks Amazon's most ambitious rollout of the technology yet.\nStarting next year, Whole Foods stores in Washington, D.C. and Sherman Oaks, California will be outfitted with the Just Walk Out system.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nCutting-edge technology, years in the making\nThe company first debuted its groundbreaking technology at the Amazon Go store in 2017. Shoppers use the Amazon app on their smartphones to gain access to the store.\nThe system is powered by computer vision, various sensors, and artificial intelligence algorithms to track customers' movements as they shop. It then detects when items are taken from the shelf and placed in a shopper's bag or basket or perhaps returned to the shelf. Once the user leaves the store, the purchased items are tallied on a digital register tape, and the total is charged to their payment method on file.\nSince the first location opened nearly five years ago, Amazon has worked to perfect its technology, testing it in a variety of location sizes and formats. In addition, the company has expanded beyond the initial Amazon Go stores, introducing the hyperÄonvenient solution in several Amazon Fresh locations and full-sized grocery stores.\nAmazon also has some deals with third-party retailers, licensing the tech to privately held airport-shop operator OTG. The company announced early last year that the system would be used at the CIBO Express Market in Newark Liberty International Airport and LaGuardia Airport, with other locations to come.\nThis marks the first time Amazon has used the technology on such a large scale, allowing shoppers to scan the app or insert a credit card associated with their accounts. Customers can also use the company's contactless palm-scanning system, which is also associated with their Amazon Prime accounts.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nA $50 billion market opportunity\nSkipping the checkout line is an idea whose time has come. Younger and more tech-savvy consumers are likely to quickly embrace the technology, which might still be intimidating to some shoppers. This changing consumer paradigm represents a large and growing opportunity for Amazon.\nIn 2018, the size of the automated retail market was estimated at $50 billion, according to estimates generated by Loop Ventures. If Amazon successfully captures even a fraction of this opportunity, the company could generate a significant new revenue stream selling or licensing this technology.\nA history of innovation and disruption\nThis adds to a long and growing list of disruptive innovations that have come courtesy of Amazon. The company popularized the concept of cloud computing and revolutionized online retail. Let's not forget that Amazon was also among the first to debut a smart speaker powered by voice technology, introducing the world to the Echo and its digital assistant, Alexa.\nGiven the company's significant head start in the field of cashier-less checkout, Amazon might just have another winner on its hands.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":164,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3577604413370961","authorId":"3577604413370961","name":"iHuat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ba908ea2f329e3dce63ffec884debf23","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3577604413370961","authorIdStr":"3577604413370961"},"content":"Good that amazon also thinks of how it can grow its busIness","text":"Good that amazon also thinks of how it can grow its busIness","html":"Good that amazon also thinks of how it can grow its busIness"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":896672402,"gmtCreate":1628582218706,"gmtModify":1703508507586,"author":{"id":"3579758808989513","authorId":"3579758808989513","name":"ACCY","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a44626552831eb06aa01cf85dcaf7422","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579758808989513","authorIdStr":"3579758808989513"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Adobe ?","listText":"Adobe ?","text":"Adobe ?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":10,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/896672402","repostId":"2155377091","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2155377091","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1627655924,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2155377091?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-30 22:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 Unstoppable Growth Stocks to Buy Right Now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2155377091","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These companies are building the future.","content":"<p>One trick to investing is trying to predict the future -- but that doesn't mean you should buy a crystal ball and attempt to time the market.

In 2019, Appleās spring announcement focused on services such asApple TV+and theApple Card. But it also announced new iPads in 2018 during an education-focused event at a school in Chicago.\nLast fall, Apple broadcast three prerecorded product launch events in three months, each of which garnered millions of live viewers on YouTube.ā Kif Leswing\nYes, the Apple online store is down. No, itās not a problem, itās a tradition.\nScreenshot/Apple.com\nOne of Appleās silliest traditions is that on the morning of an event it pulls its online Apple store down, giving up a few hours of online sales in exchange for building hype over its new products. Apple has done this for years, and technology has certainly gotten to the point where Apple could update its store without downtime ā it does it all the time ā but why mess with a tradition?ā Kif Leswing\nWhatās at stake for Apple?\nI wrote yesterday about some of thetensions bubbling under the surface at Apple.

TheĀ Nasdaq Composite, the relative outperformer, gained just over 1% to 13,996.1 as Apple and PayPal each added more than 2%. Semiconductor maker Nvidia climbed 3%, Tesla rose 8.6%.\nTheĀ Dow Jones Industrial AverageĀ fell 68.13 points, 0.2%, to close at 33,677.27 after dropping more than 150 points earlier in the session.\nReopening trades came under pressure Tuesday morning after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said itāsĀ recommending a pause in the Johnson & JohnsonĀ Covid-19 vaccine after reported cases of blood clotting.\nThere have been six reported cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot after receiving the J&J vaccine, the FDA said. The administration is calling for a pause in the vaccine until Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concludes its investigation into these cases.\nāUntil that process is complete, we are recommending this pause,ā the FDA said. āThis is important to ensure that the health care provider community is aware of the potential for these adverse events and can plan due to the unique treatment required with this type of blood clot.ā\nActing FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock said later Tuesday that she expects the pause to last āa matter of days.ā More than 6.8 million doses of the single-dose vaccine have been administered in the U.S.Ā J&J sharesĀ lost 1.3%.\nJeff Zients, the White House Covid-19 response coordinator, replied that the FDAās announcement should not have a material impact on the national effort to vaccinate.\nāOver the last few weeks, we have made available more than 25 million doses of Pfizer and Moderna each week, and in fact this week we will make available 28 million doses of these vaccines,ā he added. āThis is more than enough supply to continue the current pace of vaccinations of 3 million shots per day, and meet the Presidentās goal of 200 million shots by his 100thĀ day in office.ā\nStill, shares of companies that would be hurt the most if the vaccine rollout slows underperformed Tuesday.\nAlaska Air and American Airlines both lost 1.5%; car-rental company Avis Budget shed nearly 1%. Shares of Moderna, which makes another coronavirus vaccine, jumped 7.4% following the J&J news, which was reported first by The New York Times.\nāI donāt think thereās going to be a huge reaction in the market beyond the knee-jerk reaction weāre getting here right now,ā said Mike Wilson, chief U.S. equity strategist for Morgan Stanley, on CNBCās āSquawk Box.ā āWeāre optimistic, very optimistic that weāre going to be reopened fully in the second half of this year.ā\nThe consumer price index, one of Wall Streetās most-popular inflation gauges, rose 0.6% in March and increased 2.6% from the same period a year ago. Economists polled by Dow Jones were projecting the headline index to rise by 0.5% month over month and 2.5% year over year.\nCore CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, increased 0.3% monthly and 1.6% year over year.\nGovernment officials, includingĀ Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on SundayĀ andĀ Biden administration economistsĀ on Monday, stressed that while they expect a jump in inflation in the months ahead, the change could prove temporary due to comparisons with last yearās pandemic lockdowns and extra consumer spending from stimulus checks and pent-up demand.\nPrivate sector strategists and economists also said that the reading may not be a true gauge of rising prices. Fed officials said they are willing to let inflation run hot for a period of time without changing their accommodative policy stance, including asset purchases and a benchmark interest near zero.\nāUS equities are drifting slightly higher Tuesday as investors digest a higher-than-expected inflation in the CPI report and position ahead of 1Q21 earnings, which start on Wednesday,ā Chris Hussey, a managing director at Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note.\nāUnderneath the surface, the market is assuming a defensive posture today led by mega-cap Tech and the bond proxies -- Utilities and Real Estate,ā he added.\nThe market has been calm over the past week as Wall Street settled into a lull ahead of the first-quarter earnings season. Corporate news is set to pick up later in the week, with JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Delta Air Lines among the companies set to report quarterly results.\nThe bond market was also subdued on Tuesday, with the 10-year Treasury yield edging lower to just above 1.62%. Yields move inversely to prices.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":174,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9094903702,"gmtCreate":1645032102739,"gmtModify":1676533989130,"author":{"id":"3579758808989513","authorId":"3579758808989513","name":"ACCY","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a44626552831eb06aa01cf85dcaf7422","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579758808989513","authorIdStr":"3579758808989513"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy? š¤Ø","listText":"Buy? š¤Ø","text":"Buy? š¤Ø","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9094903702","repostId":"2211058650","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2211058650","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1645025220,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2211058650?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-02-16 23:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Metaverse Stocks With 195% to 383% Upside, According to Wall Street","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2211058650","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Select analysts and investment banks believe these metaverse plays could skyrocket over the next year.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>There's no shortage of sustained double-digit growth opportunities over the next decade. Cybersecurity, cloud computing, and telehealth are all examples of fast-growing trends that investors can't seem to get enough of.</p><p>But if there's <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> opportunity that's set head and shoulders above the rest, it's the metaverse.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d2dfd1def13e040be56bf2e78fca1456\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><p>In simple terms, the metaverse is the next iteration of the internet. It describes a 3D virtual environment that'll allow users to interact with their surroundings, including other users. Not only is there a gaming/entertainment aspect to the metaverse, but this collective of virtual worlds is expected to breed an entirely new ecosystem.</p><p>Making the metaverse tick is a big job, and it's going to take a large number of companies and innovators. There'll need to be enough processing capacity, storage capacity, reduced latency for users within virtual worlds, digital identity verification/security, and payment platforms in place, just to name a few of the critical functions necessary for the metaverse to succeed.</p><p>Yet, if all goes as planned, the metaverse could be the biggest investing opportunity since the birth of the internet. Matthew Ball, the CEO of venture capital company Epyllion, has estimated the metaverse market value at $10 trillion to $30 trillion within the next 10 to 15 years. Meanwhile, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSTLW\">Morgan Stanley</a></b>Ā believes the metaverse can eventually be worth $8 billion <i>just in China</i>!</p><p>Although the metaverse remains a work in progress, select Wall Street analysts and investment banks see three metaverse-associated stocks skyrocketing between 195% and 383% over the coming 12 months.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/362010ebd2994f37f72f2e851d36ffdf\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>Coinbase Global: Implied upside of 208%</h2><p>The first metaverse stock with exceptional upside potential over the next year is the leading cryptocurrency exchange and ecosystem <b>Coinbase Global</b> (NASDAQ:COIN). Analyst Lisa Ellis of MoffettNathanson currently has the highest price target on Coinbase at $600. If it were to trade for this figure, investors would more than triple their money, based on where shares closed this past weekend.</p><p>Coinbase would be a pretty obvious beneficiary of the metaverse, given that protocol tokens from blockchain-based games have proved essential to early iterations of a decentralized metaverse. With Coinbase leading the way among crypto investments and transactions, it could become the de facto stop for digital currency purchases needed within virtual worlds or ecosystems.</p><p>But Coinbase sees its future in the metaverse going well beyond its cryptocurrency exchange. In December, the company released a note implying that its role will be to create "an identity on-ramp into the metaverse." Coinbase believes there'll be numerous metaverses linked together, and that having a secure identity tag, stored as a non-fungible token (NFT), will allow users easy access from one metaverse to the next. In addition to focusing on NFT identity tags, the company notes that it's working on technology that'll allow users to purchase their own avatar.</p><p>However, investors should understand that Coinbase is far from a lock to succeed. Though it's been raking in the dough from increased crypto transactions over the past 13-plus months, competition among crypto exchanges is heating up. We've watched this same fee-based price war play out with traditional brokerages, and it ended with trading commissions eventually going to zero.</p><p>Coinbase is also highly dependent on the success of <b>Bitcoin</b>Ā and <b>Ethereum</b>, which make up the bulk of trading volume on its platform. Any weakness from the "Big <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a>" can quickly reduce sales and profits. With the metaverse many years away from being a big growth driver for Coinbase, it's more likely these concerns will limit this stock's upside.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7960c184f17f87ac008bfb80a04e9595\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>Matterport: Implied upside of 383%</h2><p>If you want something a bit more under the radar, borderline small-cap stock <b>Matterport</b> (NASDAQ:MTTR) has the potential to nearly quintuple, at least according to one analyst. Daniel Ives at Wedbush Securities has an aggressive $38 price target on shares of Matterport, which equates to upside of 383%, based on where it closed last week.</p><p>Of the three stocks on this list, Matterport has the most direct ties to the metaverse. This is a company that takes physical objects in the real world and creates 3D digital twins of them in the virtual world. The applications for this technology are immediate. For instance, real estate companies are using this technology to allow prospective buyers to get a real feel for properties on the market.</p><p>But as you can imagine, there's plenty of use for Matterport's spatial data technology in the metaverse. Imagine being able to take your home, or perhaps the home you've always dreamed about, and place it on your own plot of land in the virtual world. Though we're likely a ways away from that happening, investors are already buying into Matterport specifically for the intrigue surrounding its metaverse ties.</p><p>For the time being, Matterport's growth is primarily derived from cloud-based subscriptions. While users do have the option of accessing their digital twins for free, a paid subscription is required so that others can access these virtual twins. As of the end of the third quarter, Matterport's annual recurring revenue (what it expects to generate annually from subscription revenue) was $62.7 million.</p><p>The catch with Matterport is that it's going to require patience. Profitability isn't expected anytime soon, and the company is still valued at close to 13 times Wall Street's forecast sales for 2022.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/16ca48e46c5ed915bdfaeb115d44e553\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p><h2>Sea Limited: Implied upside of 195%</h2><p>A final metaverse stock with plenty of upside, according to Wall Street, is Singapore-based <b>Sea Limited</b> (NYSE:SE). The high-water price target on Wall Street of $467 comes from analyst Nirgunan Tiruchelvam at Tellimer Research. Should Sea make waves and hit this lofty prognostication, shareholders would enjoy gains of 195%!</p><p>Sea's ties to the metaverse are fairly fresh, with the company responsible for raising about $6.3 million for artificial intelligence-based gaming company Refract. Interestingly, the funding that Sea helped anchor allowed Refract to complete an acquisition of its own (game developer Deep Dive Studios).</p><p>It should be noted that Sea already has a wildly successful gaming unit, known as Garena. The company's mobile game, <i>Free Fire</i>, is a global hit. During the September-ended quarter, 729 million people were actively gaming on its platform, with 12.8% of those users paying to play.Ā It's worth pointing out that the industry's pay-to-play conversion ratio is often closer to just 2%.</p><p>Beyond gaming, Sea Limited is building up its digital financial services segment, known as SeaMoney. When the third quarter closed, more than 39 million people were paying for digital wallet services.

Cybersecurity, cloud computing, and telehealth are all examples of fast-growing trends that investors can't seem to get enough of.But if there's one opportunity that's set head and shoulders above the rest, it's the metaverse.Image source: Getty Images.In simple terms, the metaverse is the next iteration of the internet. It describes a 3D virtual environment that'll allow users to interact with their surroundings, including other users. Not only is there a gaming/entertainment aspect to the metaverse, but this collective of virtual worlds is expected to breed an entirely new ecosystem.Making the metaverse tick is a big job, and it's going to take a large number of companies and innovators. There'll need to be enough processing capacity, storage capacity, reduced latency for users within virtual worlds, digital identity verification/security, and payment platforms in place, just to name a few of the critical functions necessary for the metaverse to succeed.Yet, if all goes as planned, the metaverse could be the biggest investing opportunity since the birth of the internet. Matthew Ball, the CEO of venture capital company Epyllion, has estimated the metaverse market value at $10 trillion to $30 trillion within the next 10 to 15 years. Meanwhile, Morgan StanleyĀ believes the metaverse can eventually be worth $8 billion just in China!Although the metaverse remains a work in progress, select Wall Street analysts and investment banks see three metaverse-associated stocks skyrocketing between 195% and 383% over the coming 12 months.Image source: Getty Images.Coinbase Global: Implied upside of 208%The first metaverse stock with exceptional upside potential over the next year is the leading cryptocurrency exchange and ecosystem Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN). Analyst Lisa Ellis of MoffettNathanson currently has the highest price target on Coinbase at $600. If it were to trade for this figure, investors would more than triple their money, based on where shares closed this past weekend.Coinbase would be a pretty obvious beneficiary of the metaverse, given that protocol tokens from blockchain-based games have proved essential to early iterations of a decentralized metaverse. With Coinbase leading the way among crypto investments and transactions, it could become the de facto stop for digital currency purchases needed within virtual worlds or ecosystems.But Coinbase sees its future in the metaverse going well beyond its cryptocurrency exchange. In December, the company released a note implying that its role will be to create \"an identity on-ramp into the metaverse.\" Coinbase believes there'll be numerous metaverses linked together, and that having a secure identity tag, stored as a non-fungible token (NFT), will allow users easy access from one metaverse to the next. In addition to focusing on NFT identity tags, the company notes that it's working on technology that'll allow users to purchase their own avatar.However, investors should understand that Coinbase is far from a lock to succeed. Though it's been raking in the dough from increased crypto transactions over the past 13-plus months, competition among crypto exchanges is heating up. We've watched this same fee-based price war play out with traditional brokerages, and it ended with trading commissions eventually going to zero.Coinbase is also highly dependent on the success of BitcoinĀ and Ethereum, which make up the bulk of trading volume on its platform. Any weakness from the \"Big Two\" can quickly reduce sales and profits. With the metaverse many years away from being a big growth driver for Coinbase, it's more likely these concerns will limit this stock's upside.Image source: Getty Images.Matterport: Implied upside of 383%If you want something a bit more under the radar, borderline small-cap stock Matterport (NASDAQ:MTTR) has the potential to nearly quintuple, at least according to one analyst. Daniel Ives at Wedbush Securities has an aggressive $38 price target on shares of Matterport, which equates to upside of 383%, based on where it closed last week.Of the three stocks on this list, Matterport has the most direct ties to the metaverse. This is a company that takes physical objects in the real world and creates 3D digital twins of them in the virtual world. The applications for this technology are immediate. For instance, real estate companies are using this technology to allow prospective buyers to get a real feel for properties on the market.But as you can imagine, there's plenty of use for Matterport's spatial data technology in the metaverse. Imagine being able to take your home, or perhaps the home you've always dreamed about, and place it on your own plot of land in the virtual world. Though we're likely a ways away from that happening, investors are already buying into Matterport specifically for the intrigue surrounding its metaverse ties.For the time being, Matterport's growth is primarily derived from cloud-based subscriptions. While users do have the option of accessing their digital twins for free, a paid subscription is required so that others can access these virtual twins. As of the end of the third quarter, Matterport's annual recurring revenue (what it expects to generate annually from subscription revenue) was $62.7 million.The catch with Matterport is that it's going to require patience. Profitability isn't expected anytime soon, and the company is still valued at close to 13 times Wall Street's forecast sales for 2022.Image source: Getty Images.Sea Limited: Implied upside of 195%A final metaverse stock with plenty of upside, according to Wall Street, is Singapore-based Sea Limited (NYSE:SE). The high-water price target on Wall Street of $467 comes from analyst Nirgunan Tiruchelvam at Tellimer Research. Should Sea make waves and hit this lofty prognostication, shareholders would enjoy gains of 195%!Sea's ties to the metaverse are fairly fresh, with the company responsible for raising about $6.3 million for artificial intelligence-based gaming company Refract. Interestingly, the funding that Sea helped anchor allowed Refract to complete an acquisition of its own (game developer Deep Dive Studios).It should be noted that Sea already has a wildly successful gaming unit, known as Garena. The company's mobile game, Free Fire, is a global hit. During the September-ended quarter, 729 million people were actively gaming on its platform, with 12.8% of those users paying to play.Ā It's worth pointing out that the industry's pay-to-play conversion ratio is often closer to just 2%.Beyond gaming, Sea Limited is building up its digital financial services segment, known as SeaMoney. When the third quarter closed, more than 39 million people were paying for digital wallet services. With access to basic banking services somewhat limited in many of the emerging markets Sea operates, the company looks to have a fast-growing business segment that could help to democratize access to financial services over time.But what may really define Sea for many years to come is Shopee, the company's rapidly growing e-commerce platform. Shopee has consistently been the most downloaded shopping app in Southeastern Asia, and it's gaining steam in Brazil. Shopee's gross merchandise value (GMV) annual run-rate surpassed $67 billion in the third quarter, which is up from $10 billion in GMV for the entirety of 2018.Of the three companies listed here, Sea appears the most likely to eventually make a run at Wall Street's loftiest price target.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":67,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":882068805,"gmtCreate":1631632042807,"gmtModify":1676530595892,"author":{"id":"3579758808989513","authorId":"3579758808989513","name":"ACCY","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a44626552831eb06aa01cf85dcaf7422","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579758808989513","authorIdStr":"3579758808989513"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Buy!! ???","listText":"Buy!! ???","text":"Buy!! ???","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/882068805","repostId":"1118676828","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":96,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":888365837,"gmtCreate":1631440339429,"gmtModify":1676530548781,"author":{"id":"3579758808989513","authorId":"3579758808989513","name":"ACCY","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a44626552831eb06aa01cf85dcaf7422","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579758808989513","authorIdStr":"3579758808989513"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmm ?
