Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, mainland China and the U.S. will each increase their production capacity by at least 80% over the next decade, according to the BCG and SIA report.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":192,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":281523046039776,"gmtCreate":1709759817826,"gmtModify":1709759821446,"author":{"id":"3579788727995257","authorId":"3579788727995257","name":"Westango","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3a4b1fc2fb23b33fff900b71df70c49f","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579788727995257","authorIdStr":"3579788727995257"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Alb new ","listText":"Alb new ","text":"Alb new","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/281523046039776","repostId":"2417265778","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2417265778","pubTimestamp":1709722800,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2417265778?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-03-06 19:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"ALBEMARLE ANNOUNCES UPSIZE AND PRICING OF PUBLIC OFFERING OF DEPOSITARY SHARES","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2417265778","media":"StreetInsider","summary":"CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Albemarle Corporation , a global leader in providing essential elements for mobility, energy, connectivity, and health, announced that it has priced its previously announced offering of 40,000,000 depositary shares , each representing a 1/20th interest in a share of Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company , at a public offering price of $50 per share, in an underwritten registered public offering.

It was used as an anti-depressant. Nowadays, the tables are turned and far and away the largest use is batteries. As shown below, batteries gained tremendously over other uses of lithium around 2012, and especially since 2016.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe latest US Geological Survey data shows that batteries continue to gain over other uses of lithium.\nSignificantly, Australia retains the largest market share as a source of lithium, through our very large hard rock spodumene resources. The Australian market share of global lithium produced in 2023 was 46.8%, down a little from the peak in 2018, but still robust.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAustralia retains the largest global market share as a source of lithium albeit declining since 2018.\nWhile the lithium price remains volatile, it is clear from aggregate global production data that the demand is on a steep trajectory, especially with the growth in battery gigafactories.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGlobal volume growth in lithium production has remained very strong since 2016 due to electric vehicles.\nFrom the look of that chart, it is very clear that the industry underwent a profound change in the demand profile since 2016. That is the year in which the first Tesla gigafactory was built.\nThe other point of interest us the cyclicality of the year-on-year growth rate. There have been several periods of oversupply, which tended to correct in a period of two to three years. The last big such correction started in 2018 and bottomed around 2020.\nOur take is that the regulation of supply and demand primarily happens through the price level. This overshot to the upside from 2021 through mid 2023 following the slump that happened from 2018 through 2020 as a previous overshoot corrected.\nWhat likely matters most now is which firms remain profitable on a cash basis as markets clear and the growth trajectory settles for a year or two. For these reasons, we maintain our focus on established mineral producers, with the explorers likely overcooked at this point.\nThe Big Five Vertically Integrated Players\nIn an earlier wire, The lithium gravy train adds an M&A dining car, we covered the M&A boom in emerging lithium developers. In the eight months since, the frenzy culminated with a break in the Liontown Resources ASX: LTR deal due to blocking activity by Reinhart, and a successful deal with the takeover of Azure Minerals ASX: AZS by NYSE: SQM, in partnership with Mark Creasy and Gina Reinhart. The tempo has since slackened with weaker lithium prices.\nWhile many investors have still been chasing emerging developers, this climate, and the cyclical history of lithium markets, suggests a different strategy.\nIn our view, the derating of the producing majors as proceeded far enough to present very significant long-term value. As I mentioned above, the lithium market has had strong up cycles, lasting 3 to 5 years, followed by minor retrenchments of 1 to 3 years.\nWe are in such a period now.\nThe core strategy for the downswing in any commodity market is to focus on the last folks left standing, who are generally those with strong balance sheets at the bottom of the cost curve.\nThe best hard rock spodumene mine in the world is Greenbushes in Southwest, WA.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe largest Australian resources are in the hands of producing majors (orange), with two key emerging projects at Mt Holland (SQM and Wesfarmers) and Kathleen Valley (Liowntown Resources).\nThe important thing to understand about lithium is that there are five major global players in the upstream mining and midstream processing and conversion markets.\nThese are Albemarle NYSE: ALB, SQM NYSE: SQM, Tianqi HKG: 9696, Ganfeng HKG:1772 and the recently merged Allkem and Livent, now listed as Arcadium ASX: LTM. The chart below highlights the relative market capitalisation in USD. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Big Five vertically integrated players are shown in orange. They are all offshore companies.\nThe large local players Mineral Resources ASX: MIN, Pilbara Minerals ASX: PLS, and diversified battery minerals play IGO Ltd ASX: IGO, lurk just outside the top four, ahead of Arcadium.\nFirstly, it should be apparent from this chart why Allkem and Livent merged. Secondly, we can see how the pure play Pilbara Minerals is properly the domestic lithium king. The diversified asset base of Mineral Resources sets it apart from the big five, along with IGO Ltd.\nTo properly understand the likely next steps in the Australian market we need to play the parlour game: \"Pin the Mine on the Miner\" and hope you did not wind up with a donkey.\nReferring back to our diagram of the largest resources, it runs like this:\nGreenbushes: 49% Albemarle, 26.01% Tianqi, and 24.99% IGO Ltd (TLEA JV is 51% total)\nPilgangoora: 100% Pilbara Minerals\nMt Holland: 50% SQM and 50% Wesfarmers\nKathleen Valley: 100% Liontown Resources\nWodgina: 50% Mineral Resources and 50% Albemarle\nMt Marion: 50% Mineral Resources and 50% Ganfeng\nMt Caitlin: 100% Arcadium\nWhen you lay the market position out in this fashion, it ought to be clear that the global downstream and midstream electrochemical market is increasingly consolidated.\nI have not mentioned the battery chemicals firms, or the Li-ion battery makers. This market is even more consolidated with CATL SHE: 300750 and BYD HKG: 1211 controlling about 50% of the global lithium-ion battery market between them. Some analysts are predicting an erosion of market share as competition builds. The trend has been the opposite.\nWhen we look at the Big Five stock performance, the behaviour has been uniform.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Big Five were all marked down heavily over the past eight months.\nPilbara Minerals is the only name up over one year. The larger players were marked down the most. This likely reflects an inventory adjustment.\nIn our view, once there is clear stability in the downstream battery market the character of the M&A activity will likely turn to further industry consolidation. This is the best way to achieve greater price stability in lithium, to help underwrite further industry expansion.\nThe Global EV Market Potential\nThe current size of the global vehicle market represents the potential for electric vehicles. The current penetration rate for EVs is only about 7% but is much higher in China. For 2023, the proportion of new car sales which were fully electric has been reported at 25%. \nChina reports what they call New Energy Vehicle (NEV) sales which includes hybrids. That rate of penetration, for full EV and hybrids, is running around 40%. Of course, as time goes on the rising penetration rate for EVs causes the China growth rate for EV sales to slow down.\nThis appears to be the reason why many analysts claim that the EV industry is slowing down.\nWhile the growth rate itself is slowing down, the aggregate vehicles sold continues to rise. This is just the math. The year-on-year growth rate slows, but a lower growth rate struck on a larger base means a great deal more EVs sold each year today, than even a few years ago.\nEstimates vary, but about 20 to 30% of the value of an electric vehicle is in the battery. The other factor to consider is the mix of vehicles, in respect of battery pack size.\nHowever, all things considered, we need to recognize that China is out in front as a market. Unit sales data from F&I for the top 25 global auto markets shows that emerging markets represent a larger unit sales volume market. China leads with 37.8% share.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChina is far and away the largest global automotive market by unit sales volume.\nThe full OIC 2023 sales data will not be available for a while, but the estimated total sales for 2023 is close to 88M worldwide. This amounts to roughly 12% of the above total.\nThe data reporter EV Volumes puts global NEV sales at 14.1M units in 2023, or which 70% were fully electric vehicles. China volumes are around 5x times those in North America.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe global New Energy Vehicle (NEV) unit volumes are dominated by China. Source: EV Volumes.\nI am not the kind of investor who seeks approval from politicians. I am somebody who tries to be good at my job and to help those for whom I work, my clients.\nGiven this fundamental difference in motivation, and my own propensity for rational analysis, based on factual inputs, I remain bullish on the global EV market.\nWhat about the \"new three\" in China versus the Biden IRA in the USA?\nIt is fashionable for contemporary investors to myopically focus on what happens in the USA. We are supposed to believe that the Biden IRA will \"save\" Australia from China. This has been at the forefront of domestic discussion about the Critical Minerals Opportunity.\nRegular readers of my wires will appreciate that I don't share the bullish attitude of domestic Australian politicians about the USA filling any significant role for our commodities trade.\nThe USA is a large economy, but whatever it does produce is highly import dependent on the finished components that go into a US assembly line. This has not changed. Despite endless blather from the Australian government, the USA buys no meaningful quantity of rare earths outside of that is uses in petroleum refining catalysts.\nI did this topic to death in my wire: Where do the separated rare earths produced by Lynas actually go? In that article I proved that the average annual share of Lynas revenues that is attributable to buyers based in the USA was about 1.5% of their total.\nI could do this topic to death for a host of other commodities, but I won't bother.\nAnybody who chooses to ignore the data deserves the policy outcome coming their way.\nWhen the data has not changed, I don't change my analytical conclusion.\nChina leads demand for critical minerals, like lithium, because it dominates downstream manufacturing of the goods that need such minerals.\nAustralian politicians do not like this fact which is why they continue to pursue industry policies whose central objective enshrines their own public fantasy.\nThe result will be abject policy failure as surely as night follows day.\nChina is the market with near monopsony power to be the locomotive.\nSure, we love the USA, but the action there is in digital technology not manufacturing.\nTesla NASDAQ: TSLA may have been the global market leader but lost that crown in 2023 to the Chinese leader BYD HKG: 1211. China has the \"new three\" industries of solar panels, EVs, and energy storage systems. Western economists are often critical of Chinese government policy on the grounds that they are \"not like us\". Indeed, they are not.\nThe Chinese focus on the \"new three\" industries will likely see China completely dominate the capital goods component of the global energy transition.\nYou can dislike the fact that China has a considered policy on what to do about the global energy transition. However, this will not change the fact that China is executing to that plan.\nIn the opinion of this Western investor, it is the West that has a dire and growing problem.\nEven with the huge Biden Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) tax credits to new energy investment, we do not believe that the USA will be competitive, on price and quality, any time soon.\nThere is no meaningful dialogue in Western economies about \"what to do\" other than to foster protectionism with restraint of trade, tariffs, transfer payments and subsidies.\nFolks like me have seen this exact same movie before.\nThat period was called the 1970s Stagflation.\nWhile my views are not popular, I would urge that investment is not a popularity contest. Wise investors deploy capital where they expect a financial return.\nI anticipate handsome financial returns to those investors who deploy capital sensibly to commodities that China, specifically, is buying, and to those energy transition investments for which the capital goods inputs are Chinese.\nIn short, I am not somebody who is complaining about cheap Chinese solar panels.\nI am seeking out those entrepreneurs who are installing solar equipment in a business model based on shaving the large Balance of System (BoS) cost which is local origin.\nThis attitude has a name: it is called commerce, the idea of making a profit from activity.\nI will leave the political posturing to those who have no need to actually work for a living.\nPrognosis for the Lithium sector\nThe major market value of lithium product is batteries. These comprise 20 to 30% of value in the finished electric vehicle. This is an industry of global scale that is worth chasing.\nThe reality of our time is that China dominates this market, with high forward demand and a pathway to full penetration of NEVs by around 2040, but possibly earlier.\nThere is much chatter about a genuine slowdown in EV sales in Western nations. This is real and has happened due to the slow roll out of charging network support, buyer preference for large SUV vehicles, and the appetite for light commercial vehicles, primarily pick-ups.\nHowever, as much as we love the West, the West is not the biggest car market by volume.\nAssembly line capacity is driven by unit volume and time to manufacture each vehicle as it traverses the assembly line. Since China has a per-capita GDP of around $12K USD, which happens to be the global average, it will set the average price for a new EV sold.\nAnalytically, this must be lower than the average price of a car sold into Western markets.\nTherefore, what is most likely, is that China will do two things:\n\nSignificantly increase assembly line productivity to meet higher unit volumes.\nAggressively drive uptake of those cheaper EVs in emerging markets.\n\nFrom where I sit, it seems that China is executing well on this plan.\nThis likely means that Western politics will become more toxic than it already is, and we will see greatly increased protectionism to keep Chinese EV imports out.\nThe West will likely succeed in this goal because it is politically popular.\nThe natural result of this policy mix is that Western manufacturing will further lose competitive standing, as China proceeds with its present trajectory of yet more factory automation.\nSince I am not a politician, I am free to speak the truth of what will likely happen.\nChina is increasingly finding itself shut out of Western markets. \nSince the typical worker in China needs to eat, just as much as their Western counterpart, the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC) will double down on advanced manufacturing.\nThis is the much-vaunted new productive focus.\nIn my opinion, this policy will very likely succeed because it is a classic technocratic solution to an obvious economic problem. The issue for China is to develop emerging markets.\nFor China to replace Western markets it needs to push the production frontier out on volume by a factor of two of three, and down on price by 50 - 80%.\nThis is the simple math on aggregate purchasing power in the emerging markets.\nOnly about 15% of the global population live in developed markets.\nThe other 85% live in emerging markets.\nTo the Western mind, emerging markets should always remain emerging markets. Since China is not like us, they do not think along these lines. For China to find a replacement for closed Western markets they need the emerging markets to develop.\nEvery overt policy signal from the CPC has said as much.\nCold hard technocratic economic logic dictates the same conclusion.\nI do not make policy in this world, but I can diagnose which policy is likely to work.\nGiven the basic math, the logic of China hugely expanding the production frontier on volume and down on price makes perfect economic sense. This program will stall if there are not good paying jobs in emerging markets, to earn the money to buy the products.\nChina is presently copying the 1970s playbook from Japan and doing exactly that. They are building EV factories in Brazil, Indonesia, Hungary and Mexico.\nOther nations are free to build plants in the same countries that will accept them. The net of this is that inbound Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to China is down to zero, while China is raising Outbound Direct Investment (ODI), into other countries.\nThis is what any rational economist would predict.\nThis is presently happening across the battery minerals complex. \nChina invested heavily in Indonesian nickel to lower the price point for higher volumes.\nThey already did that in cobalt and have long since been doing that in rare earths.\nThey are now doing that in lithium.\nThis is an explicit volume strategy to make revenue lost from Western markets with revenue won in emerging markets. Since the buyer operates at a lower price point, this goal is not possible without the conscious pursuit of a volume strategy.\nI am a rational investor. \nPolitics is a profession reserved for those who cannot earn a living by acting rationally. I don't have this handicap, so I only act in a rational fashion.\nWhatever squawking may emanate from Canberra, this investor can see the writing on the wall. The winning strategy in lithium is to comprehend the Chinese playbook.\nIn global commodities trade, China exerts monopsony power.\nThis means that they are the dominant buyer.\nIn lithium, the players that are best positioned are those who can face the monopsony buyer and exercise their right to withhold production volume.\nThat is precisely what happened late last year with Tianqi at Greenbushes.\nI won't belabor the point, but everything happening right now in the lithium market is rational. The Big Five are rational players, and so they are going slow on purchasing to clear inventory. We will know when that inventory has cleared because Tianqi will resume its quota.\nSome might call this a conspiracy.\nIf you think it is a conspiracy, then maybe you were never in the hula hoop business carrying massive unsold hula hoops at the end of a local primary school hula hoop boom.\nIt is the same with lithium.\nAt this moment, we have not gotten the Tianqi signal on Greenbushes offtake.\nI am happy to step in front of that, as all of the signals from the Big Five have lined up around their own clear understanding of how their own market operates. They have chosen to limit offtake below quota when agreements permit and to curtail expansion plans.\nDue to the heavily concentrated nature of this market, that will be enough to balance it.\nAmong the Big Five we mentioned, our favored two are SQM and Albemarle.\nThese look like good entry levels to us, although the daily price is volatile.\nOur favoured pure play is Pilbara Minerals.\nOur secondary play is IGO Ltd, although it is weighed down by the weak nickel market.\nOur top target for future M&A is Liontown Resources.\nOnce the Kathleen Valley mine is built, the suitors will likely be back.\nThere is no rocket science to these investment views. Lithium is a cyclical mineral with a very strong future growth market. The cure for the present lower prices is lower prices.\nThe angst about Chinese EVs being shut out of Western markets simply means that China will switch attention to selling cheaper cars, in greater unit volume, into emerging markets.\nThe consequent fall in finished Li-ion battery price will drive further demand.\nI don't make long-term price volume forecasts for lithium, but if I did, I would be upgrading those as a natural consequence of this market condition.\nIn short, I am a lithium bull once more and I am buying shares in the majors.\nHappy investing and good luck finding a politician who can make your country a great one.\nPhoto by MiningWatch Portugal on Unsplash\n\n\n\nNever miss an update\n\n Enjoy this wire?

Th","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft Corp </a> stock is still undervalued based on its free cash flow upside in the next year. MSFT stock could be worth 39% more or $518 per share based on $96 billion in FCF estimates next year. This is also based on a potential 2.5% FCF yield valuation. </p><p>I show how this works out in this article below. I also show a cheap way for existing shareholders to play this for extra income by shorting out-of-the-money (OTM) put options.</p><p>I already discussed this in my prior Barchart article on Nov. 14, but now I am updating this projection. Since then, MSFT stock has risen to $371.30 as of Monday, Dec. 11.</p><h3 id=\"id_3745679358\">FCF Estimates Close to $100 Billion In the Next 12 Months</h3><p>My target price is based on its free cash flow (FCF) and where it could rise in the next 12 months (NTM). For example, it made $20.7 billion in FCF in its latest quarter ending Sept. 30, according to page 5 of its shareholder deck. That was up 22% YoY.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fc0a195d0ddcd5071ef1c95601b92b26\" tg-width=\"1489\" tg-height=\"81\"/></p><p>Microsoft shareholder deck FY 2024 Q1 ending Sept. 30, 2023 - page 5</p><p>More importantly, this represented 36.6% of the total revenue of $56.5 billion for the quarter. That 37% FCF margin implies that if sales reach $243 billion this fiscal year (ending June 30, based on analysts' estimates for 2024) free cash flow could rise to $90 billion. That is seen by multiplying $243 billion by 0.37.</p><p>And for the year ending June 2025, analysts forecast $276.75 billion, FCF could rise to $102.4 billion. That implies that the average FCF estimate over the NTM is $96.2 billion.</p><p>That is close to $100 billion in FCF projections sometime in the next 2 years. How will the market value this?</p><h3 id=\"id_3170266297\">MSFT Stock Could Be Worth $518 Per Share</h3><p>Here is how I think the market will value MSFT stock. In the last 12 months (LTM) Microsoft has generated $95.967 billion in cash flow from operations (CFFO). After deducting $31.741 billion in capex spending, its LTM FCF was $63.226 billion. These figures can be seen in Seeking Alpha's cash flow statements page for the LTM ending Sept. 30.</p><p>Now since Microsoft presently has a market capitalization of $2,773 billion, that means that the market values the company with a 2.28% FCF metric. This is seen by dividing its $63.2 billion by its market cap (i.e., $63.22b / $2,773b = 0.0228).</p><p>So, we can use that FCF yield metric to value its NTM FCF, i.e., $96.2 billion. For example, if we use a more conservative FCF yield of 2.5% we get a market value estimate of $3,848 billion (i.e., $96.2b/.025 = $3,848 billion).</p><p>That market value estimate is 38.8% over today's market cap of $2,773 billion. In other words, MSFT stock is worth 39% more. That puts its price target at $518 per share (i.e., 1.39 x $374.23 per share).</p><p>So how can existing shareholders play this?</p><h3 id=\"id_851267233\">Shorting OTM Puts for Extra Income</h3><p>One way for investors in MSFT stock to make money while they wait for the stock to hit this price target is to sell short out-of-the-money (OTM) put options. It's best to focus on puts that expire in near-term expiration periods like the Dec. 29 period, for example. That is just 3 weeks away.</p><p>For example, the $357.50 strike price put trades for $1.95 on the bid side. That play is 3% out-of-the-money (i.e., below today's price) and yields 0.545% (i.e., $1.95 / $357.50).</p><p>A more conservative play is the $350 strike price which trades for 99 cents.

MSFT stock could be worth 39% more or $518 per share based on $96 billion in FCF estimates next year. This is also based on a potential 2.5% FCF yield valuation. I show how this works out in this article below. I also show a cheap way for existing shareholders to play this for extra income by shorting out-of-the-money (OTM) put options.I already discussed this in my prior Barchart article on Nov. 14, but now I am updating this projection. Since then, MSFT stock has risen to $371.30 as of Monday, Dec. 11.FCF Estimates Close to $100 Billion In the Next 12 MonthsMy target price is based on its free cash flow (FCF) and where it could rise in the next 12 months (NTM). For example, it made $20.7 billion in FCF in its latest quarter ending Sept. 30, according to page 5 of its shareholder deck. That was up 22% YoY.Microsoft shareholder deck FY 2024 Q1 ending Sept. 30, 2023 - page 5More importantly, this represented 36.6% of the total revenue of $56.5 billion for the quarter. That 37% FCF margin implies that if sales reach $243 billion this fiscal year (ending June 30, based on analysts' estimates for 2024) free cash flow could rise to $90 billion. That is seen by multiplying $243 billion by 0.37.And for the year ending June 2025, analysts forecast $276.75 billion, FCF could rise to $102.4 billion. That implies that the average FCF estimate over the NTM is $96.2 billion.That is close to $100 billion in FCF projections sometime in the next 2 years. How will the market value this?MSFT Stock Could Be Worth $518 Per ShareHere is how I think the market will value MSFT stock. In the last 12 months (LTM) Microsoft has generated $95.967 billion in cash flow from operations (CFFO). After deducting $31.741 billion in capex spending, its LTM FCF was $63.226 billion. These figures can be seen in Seeking Alpha's cash flow statements page for the LTM ending Sept. 30.Now since Microsoft presently has a market capitalization of $2,773 billion, that means that the market values the company with a 2.28% FCF metric. This is seen by dividing its $63.2 billion by its market cap (i.e., $63.22b / $2,773b = 0.0228).So, we can use that FCF yield metric to value its NTM FCF, i.e., $96.2 billion. For example, if we use a more conservative FCF yield of 2.5% we get a market value estimate of $3,848 billion (i.e., $96.2b/.025 = $3,848 billion).That market value estimate is 38.8% over today's market cap of $2,773 billion. In other words, MSFT stock is worth 39% more. That puts its price target at $518 per share (i.e., 1.39 x $374.23 per share).So how can existing shareholders play this?Shorting OTM Puts for Extra IncomeOne way for investors in MSFT stock to make money while they wait for the stock to hit this price target is to sell short out-of-the-money (OTM) put options. It's best to focus on puts that expire in near-term expiration periods like the Dec. 29 period, for example. That is just 3 weeks away.For example, the $357.50 strike price put trades for $1.95 on the bid side. That play is 3% out-of-the-money (i.e., below today's price) and yields 0.545% (i.e., $1.95 / $357.50).A more conservative play is the $350 strike price which trades for 99 cents. That is 5% OTM and yields 0.282% to the short seller of these puts.$MSFT 20231229 350.0 PUT$ MSFT put options expiring Dec. 29 - Barchart - As of Dec. 11, 2023In any case, the annualized returns for both are still attractive.

Driven by cost savings and multiple expansions, shareholders who believed in Meta even after the big selloff in 2022 were rewarded handsomely this year. On the other hand, there were many investors who panicked and sold last year because they were influenced by the very negative news about Meta and its future prospects.</p><p>Now the media coverage has changed and Meta is again an investment that most people love, and this is a turning point in my opinion. Has Meta's outlook changed that much, or are people just understanding that CEO Mark Zuckerberg is in it for the long haul? Do people now see investing in the metaverse - and all the other inventions that come with it - as something positive, instead of a billionaire's money-burning idea?</p><p>I think Meta's labs have a lot of surprises in store for the future, and maybe they even have something like Amazon.com Inc.'s (AMZN) AWS up their sleeve. It would be odd if they could not find great opportunities in the metaverse and artificial intelligence ("A.I.) with the large investment they are making. And they have some of the best scientists and experts in the world in this field.</p><h2 id=\"id_3039568673\">Meta's Metrics and Balance Sheet</h2><p>Meta's balance sheet is rock solid. Long-term debt is only $18,383 million, while cash alone is double that at $36,890 million. In addition, TTM's net income is $29,734, which is also greater than long-term debt. One could even argue that Meta could use a little more leverage, but with ROIC and ROE already excellent, there is no need. When debt is below 4x net income, I consider a company safe from a balance sheet perspective, and Meta is below 1x, which in my eyes makes it very secure.</p><p>Meta's free cash flow position is also very strong, giving them plenty of room to invest in growth and hopefully return more cash to shareholders in the future.</p><p>FCF TTM: $36,793m.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>$13,639m Q3/23.</p></li><li><p>$10,955m Q2/22.</p></li><li><p>$6,911m Q1/23.</p></li><li><p>$5,288m Q4/22.</p></li></ul><p>I think we need to adjust this number for SBC, and there we have the following numbers:</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>SBC YTD 9 Months: $10,603m.</p></li><li><p>SBC Q4/22: $3,008m.</p></li></ul><p>SBC TTM: $13,611mSo the SBC adjusted FCF is $36,793m - $13,611m = <strong>$23,182m.</strong></p><p>In the long run, I think the SBC adjusted numbers have the potential to be over $30 million as Meta's bets and investments pay off. What's App in particular has great potential. In general, Meta is a money-printing machine with an incredibly strong balance sheet. They would be able to weather crises that other companies are not prepared for.</p><h2 id=\"id_912032819\">ROIC Vs. Competition</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e299d60ba368cf366b10542ef0a66d1b\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"518\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>For peer comparisons, we use the usual suspects, Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) (GOOGL), NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA), Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), and Apple Inc. (AAPL), as they are the closest in terms of market capitalization and there are many overlaps in their businesses. And up until Amazon, they all have fantastic returns on capital. Meta, on the other hand, saw a slight decline in ROIC due to investments in 2022, but it is on the way back up.</p><p>With a cost of debt of about 5% and a cost of equity of about 8%, I arrive at an approximate WACC of 8% for Meta. This results in a very favorable ROIC-WACC spread of 12%. This clearly shows that Meta is creating value, and if you are someone who believes that share price will follow return on capital over the long term, then Meta should be attractive to you. Because I think there is no argument that they will not continue to be as effective capital allocators.</p><p>High barriers to entry, as well as scale and network effects, are likely to protect earnings. Further share repurchases at potentially more opportune times, as in the past, would also enhance shareholder returns.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/55cbab6fe018b66735ffc5a079bf38d5\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"453\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Large share repurchases at high prices in the past reduced the share count by ~200 million, but high stock-based compensation, or SBC, costs led to a resurgence last quarter. Therefore, share repurchases are likely to be used to offset SBC rather than to significantly reduce shares outstanding. Dividend payments are also unlikely to be forthcoming, so shareholder returns will be driven primarily by earnings growth resulting from high capital returns and new growth opportunities.</p><h2 id=\"id_2366253596\">Valuation Vs. Competition</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/91d9777ce20407fb4a7c3e8124e54fa7\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"518\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>I always take an EV/EBIT multiple rather than a P/E ratio because we can include debt by using enterprise value. And here we can see that Meta and Google are the cheapest of the peer group. Probably because some people see AI as a threat to the search engine business, and Meta has the Metaverse that many do not like. In addition, TikTok also has an influence on the valuation of Meta.</p><p>However, a multiple of 21x is fair considering the EBIT growth rate of 34.21% over the last 10 years. One could even argue that the multiple is too low if they can achieve the same growth rate in the future. Compared to its peers, Meta's shares are attractively priced and offer better upside due to the lower multiple and resulting better margin of safety.</p><h2 id=\"id_1233638885\">Meta's Reverse DCF</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8a622bd65c3211a3e6711a860f9e705d\" alt=\"Author\" title=\"Author\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"67\"/><span>Author</span></p><p>Over the last 4 quarters, the following diluted EPS figures have been reported.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>$4.39 Q3/23</p></li><li><p>$2.98 Q2/23</p></li><li><p>$2.20 Q1/23</p></li><li><p>$1.76 Q4/22,</p></li></ul><p>diluted EPS TTM: $11.33.</p><p>If we take that number and put it into a reverse discounted cash flow, or DCF, to see what is priced into the stock, we can see that EPS is currently priced at a compound annual growth rate of about 13% over the next 10 years. Over the past 10 years, Meta has achieved a compound annual growth rate of 40.15%, which is well above the required growth rate. Over the last 5 years, however, the growth rate was "only" 11.25%, so below the required level.</p><p>However, since the last 5 years have been marked by a lot of investment, I would argue that the next 5 years will probably look better than the last 5 years in terms of growth rate and, therefore, the stock is fairly valued.</p><h2 id=\"id_2414962326\">What could EPS look like in 5 years?</h2><p>I think there is a relatively high probability that we can see $20 diluted EPS in 5 years and, therefore, the stock will trade at about $500 if we take a 25x multiple. This would correspond to an EPS growth rate of approximately 12%. If the investments bear fruit within this period, $25 EPS and a share price of $625 are also possible. If Meta starts to see success with its huge investments, shareholders will be rewarded.</p><p>So, at the current price, a 5-year double-digit annual return is achievable and the chances of beating the long-term CAGR of the S&P 500 of ~10% are good. Growth opportunities are plentiful, and share buybacks combined with lower SBC costs could boost total stock returns.</p><h2 id=\"id_1604188979\">Is Meta A Buy, Hold or Sell?</h2><p>I bought some more shares in Meta this month, but only because I always follow Peter Lynch's advice in December to water the flowers. However, I wouldn't have bought Meta if December hadn't been the month I put my money into my best investment ever from an IRR standpoint. Since I have been continuously adding in 2022 and 2023, I have had much more attractive entry points.</p><p>In general, I'd say Hold would be a better choice for Meta Platforms, Inc. stock because there's a lot of uncertainty about the whole investment in the metaverse bet and how they're going to monetize What's App and AI. And depending on the size of the investment in the metaverse, I think there could be some selloffs in the future to give investors another opportunity to buy shares of this wonderful company at an even better EV/EBIT multiple.</p><p>In this sense, water the flowers and cut the weeds.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

(NASDAQ:META) was one of the best investments in 2023, almost tripling its share price from its lows in January. Driven by cost savings and multiple expansions, shareholders who believed in Meta even after the big selloff in 2022 were rewarded handsomely this year. On the other hand, there were many investors who panicked and sold last year because they were influenced by the very negative news about Meta and its future prospects.Now the media coverage has changed and Meta is again an investment that most people love, and this is a turning point in my opinion. Has Meta's outlook changed that much, or are people just understanding that CEO Mark Zuckerberg is in it for the long haul? Do people now see investing in the metaverse - and all the other inventions that come with it - as something positive, instead of a billionaire's money-burning idea?I think Meta's labs have a lot of surprises in store for the future, and maybe they even have something like Amazon.com Inc.'s (AMZN) AWS up their sleeve. It would be odd if they could not find great opportunities in the metaverse and artificial intelligence (\"A.I.) with the large investment they are making. And they have some of the best scientists and experts in the world in this field.Meta's Metrics and Balance SheetMeta's balance sheet is rock solid. Long-term debt is only $18,383 million, while cash alone is double that at $36,890 million. In addition, TTM's net income is $29,734, which is also greater than long-term debt. One could even argue that Meta could use a little more leverage, but with ROIC and ROE already excellent, there is no need. When debt is below 4x net income, I consider a company safe from a balance sheet perspective, and Meta is below 1x, which in my eyes makes it very secure.Meta's free cash flow position is also very strong, giving them plenty of room to invest in growth and hopefully return more cash to shareholders in the future.FCF TTM: $36,793m.$13,639m Q3/23.$10,955m Q2/22.$6,911m Q1/23.$5,288m Q4/22.I think we need to adjust this number for SBC, and there we have the following numbers:SBC YTD 9 Months: $10,603m.SBC Q4/22: $3,008m.SBC TTM: $13,611mSo the SBC adjusted FCF is $36,793m - $13,611m = $23,182m.In the long run, I think the SBC adjusted numbers have the potential to be over $30 million as Meta's bets and investments pay off. What's App in particular has great potential. In general, Meta is a money-printing machine with an incredibly strong balance sheet. They would be able to weather crises that other companies are not prepared for.ROIC Vs. CompetitionData by YChartsFor peer comparisons, we use the usual suspects, Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) (GOOGL), NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA), Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), and Apple Inc. (AAPL), as they are the closest in terms of market capitalization and there are many overlaps in their businesses. And up until Amazon, they all have fantastic returns on capital. Meta, on the other hand, saw a slight decline in ROIC due to investments in 2022, but it is on the way back up.With a cost of debt of about 5% and a cost of equity of about 8%, I arrive at an approximate WACC of 8% for Meta. This results in a very favorable ROIC-WACC spread of 12%. This clearly shows that Meta is creating value, and if you are someone who believes that share price will follow return on capital over the long term, then Meta should be attractive to you. Because I think there is no argument that they will not continue to be as effective capital allocators.High barriers to entry, as well as scale and network effects, are likely to protect earnings. Further share repurchases at potentially more opportune times, as in the past, would also enhance shareholder returns.Data by YChartsLarge share repurchases at high prices in the past reduced the share count by ~200 million, but high stock-based compensation, or SBC, costs led to a resurgence last quarter. Therefore, share repurchases are likely to be used to offset SBC rather than to significantly reduce shares outstanding. Dividend payments are also unlikely to be forthcoming, so shareholder returns will be driven primarily by earnings growth resulting from high capital returns and new growth opportunities.Valuation Vs. CompetitionData by YChartsI always take an EV/EBIT multiple rather than a P/E ratio because we can include debt by using enterprise value. And here we can see that Meta and Google are the cheapest of the peer group. Probably because some people see AI as a threat to the search engine business, and Meta has the Metaverse that many do not like. In addition, TikTok also has an influence on the valuation of Meta.However, a multiple of 21x is fair considering the EBIT growth rate of 34.21% over the last 10 years. One could even argue that the multiple is too low if they can achieve the same growth rate in the future. Compared to its peers, Meta's shares are attractively priced and offer better upside due to the lower multiple and resulting better margin of safety.Meta's Reverse DCFAuthorOver the last 4 quarters, the following diluted EPS figures have been reported.$4.39 Q3/23$2.98 Q2/23$2.20 Q1/23$1.76 Q4/22,diluted EPS TTM: $11.33.If we take that number and put it into a reverse discounted cash flow, or DCF, to see what is priced into the stock, we can see that EPS is currently priced at a compound annual growth rate of about 13% over the next 10 years. Over the past 10 years, Meta has achieved a compound annual growth rate of 40.15%, which is well above the required growth rate. Over the last 5 years, however, the growth rate was \"only\" 11.25%, so below the required level.However, since the last 5 years have been marked by a lot of investment, I would argue that the next 5 years will probably look better than the last 5 years in terms of growth rate and, therefore, the stock is fairly valued.What could EPS look like in 5 years?I think there is a relatively high probability that we can see $20 diluted EPS in 5 years and, therefore, the stock will trade at about $500 if we take a 25x multiple. This would correspond to an EPS growth rate of approximately 12%. If the investments bear fruit within this period, $25 EPS and a share price of $625 are also possible. If Meta starts to see success with its huge investments, shareholders will be rewarded.So, at the current price, a 5-year double-digit annual return is achievable and the chances of beating the long-term CAGR of the S&P 500 of ~10% are good. Growth opportunities are plentiful, and share buybacks combined with lower SBC costs could boost total stock returns.Is Meta A Buy, Hold or Sell?I bought some more shares in Meta this month, but only because I always follow Peter Lynch's advice in December to water the flowers. However, I wouldn't have bought Meta if December hadn't been the month I put my money into my best investment ever from an IRR standpoint. Since I have been continuously adding in 2022 and 2023, I have had much more attractive entry points.In general, I'd say Hold would be a better choice for Meta Platforms, Inc. stock because there's a lot of uncertainty about the whole investment in the metaverse bet and how they're going to monetize What's App and AI. And depending on the size of the investment in the metaverse, I think there could be some selloffs in the future to give investors another opportunity to buy shares of this wonderful company at an even better EV/EBIT multiple.In this sense, water the flowers and cut the weeds.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":251,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":251298014486744,"gmtCreate":1702360368899,"gmtModify":1702360372920,"author":{"id":"3579788727995257","authorId":"3579788727995257","name":"Westango","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3a4b1fc2fb23b33fff900b71df70c49f","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579788727995257","authorIdStr":"3579788727995257"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"AI","listText":"AI","text":"AI","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/251298014486744","repostId":"2390013368","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2390013368","pubTimestamp":1702352733,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2390013368?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-12-12 11:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Cathie Wood's Ark Invest Is All In on These 2 AI Stocks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2390013368","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Wood's firm has held shares of these two companies across all of its active ETFs.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>There's no doubt that artificial intelligence has the potential to disrupt just about every industry.

Despite the strong potential for Palantir's platform to help just about every business improve operations, I'd avoid the stock for now and look to put cash to work in something with a better valuation.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":309,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":250978684284992,"gmtCreate":1702282264415,"gmtModify":1702282268705,"author":{"id":"3579788727995257","authorId":"3579788727995257","name":"Westango","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3a4b1fc2fb23b33fff900b71df70c49f","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579788727995257","authorIdStr":"3579788727995257"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Baba","listText":"Baba","text":"Baba","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/250978684284992","repostId":"2390038948","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2390038948","pubTimestamp":1702281600,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2390038948?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-12-11 16:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alibaba: At $72 Per Share Makes No Sense","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2390038948","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"Alibaba's stock price has significantly declined, making it an attractive investment opportunity.The company's fundamentals remain strong, with solid revenue growth and positive free cash flow.The Chinese stock market has already discounted the worst-case scenarios, making Alibaba undervalued and potentially poised for a rebound.

Unfortunately, it is located on the other side of the world, in Hangzhou, China. It is exactly this aspect that I want to leverage in this article since the issues of this company are not about the business itself but about the country in which it resides. As you might have guessed, I am talking about the much-discussed Alibaba (NYSE:BABA).</p><h2 id=\"id_2600538427\">Context</h2><p>Before assessing the current situation, I think it is useful to give a brief recap of what has happened so far since November 2020, which is when Alibaba's meltdown began. In these three years, virtually everything has happened.</p><p>At the end of October 2020, there was great optimism around Alibaba and it was steadily trading around $280-$300 per share. At the time, it was pretty much done for the IPO of Ant Group, which is the company that owns the world's largest mobile payment platform, Alipay. Alibaba owns 33% of the group, so it had every interest in making the biggest IPO of all time go through. However, when everything seemed to be going right, some statements by Jack Ma about the Chinese financial system caught the attention of the Chinese authorities and after a few days, the IPO was cancelled. According to the authorities' statements, the reason was that Ant Group's structure did not reflect the anti-monopoly rules. After years of turbulence, the worst seems to be behind us, but not without consequences:</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Ant Group was fined $985 million, one of the highest fines ever imposed by Chinese regulators.</p></li><li><p>The ownership structure has been completely turned upside down: Jack Ma owned 53.46% of the voting shares, today only 6.20%. Thus, no shareholder, alone or in agreement with other parties, will have control.</p></li></ul><p>Overall, after these three years, Ant Group comes out weakened, and indirectly so does Alibaba. Be that as it may, this was only the first hiccup.</p><p>Following the suspension of the IPO, Chinese regulators fined the country's major big tech companies for antitrust violations: in 2021 Alibaba was fined $2.80 billion. In addition, a few months later, the company said it would participate in <em>common prosperity</em> initiatives by investing $15.50 billion through 2025. The goal was to benefit from the economic growth of the entire country:</p><blockquote><p><em>Alibaba is a beneficiary of the strong social and economic progress in China over the past 22 years. We firmly believe that if society is doing well and the economy is doing well, then Alibaba will do well.</em></p><p><em>Former Alibaba CEO Daniel Zhang</em></p></blockquote><p>Needless to say, the market saw these investments as yet another fine to pay, and from that point on, the stock began to sink. Although by 2022 the fines were over, the S&P 500 (SP500) in a downward trend was yet another excuse to fuel Alibaba's collapse. From $319 per share in October 2020 today the stock is trading at about $72 per share: an absolute disaster.</p><p>Coming to this point, after all this news, you may be wondering why Alibaba is a strong buy. The reason is that the current price per share is so low that in my opinion, it has already discounted the most negative scenario ever. Over the past three years, everything was a pretext to sell Alibaba and we have reached a point where it is really hard to make things worse. Making an analogy with the U.S. economy, this is Alibaba's 2008 and it is much easier to restart from here than to sink further.</p><p>At the moment the major problems with Chinese regulators are behind us, but I don't doubt that there may be new complications in the future, and that is what worries the market. While I understand investors' concern, I also believe that one should not be overly pessimistic either. I doubt that it is in China's interest to destroy one of their best companies ever. Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY) and PDD Holdings (PDD) have also been fined, but they have already made up some of the lost ground.</p><p>My impression is that sentiment is still extremely negative for Alibaba compared to the other Chinese big tech companies, which is why it will have to prove something more to attract investors. Still, it really took very little to go from being one of the best companies in the world to being one of the most avoided: Mr. Market is often too emotional.</p><h2 id=\"id_1220477199\">Analysis of the Chinese economy</h2><p>As already anticipated, since Alibaba's performance is affected by any news that has to do with China, I think the first thing to analyze is the macroeconomic environment.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea6e9ffd14ac6e328b95d870f99a6636\" alt=\"World Bank\" title=\"World Bank\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"569\"/><span>World Bank</span></p><p>Since the mid-1960s China's economic growth has been unrestrained and GDP used to increase in double digits. Since 2010, year-on-year growth has slowed down but remains higher than European and U.S. growth. The Chinese government's goal is to grow on average between 4.50-5% per year, which has failed in recent years due to a number of issues.</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>The first was the pandemic. In China, the lockdowns lasted longer and were also much more stringent.</p></li><li><p>The second is that China's real estate market is facing a tough time, which is extremely relevant since it contributes about 30% of GDP. China's housing boom seems to have come to an end and is now paying for the excessive borrowing and construction done over the past decades. The population has stopped growing as it did in the past, and demand for new housing has dropped dramatically to the point where it has created ghost towns.</p></li></ul><p>The beginning of the real estate crisis dates back to 2021 when the China Evergrande Group (OTC:EGRNQ), once the second-largest real estate developer in the country, declared bankruptcy. Later, it was the turn of other prominent real estate developers such as Country Garden (OTCPK:CTRYF). In any case, we have been talking about this crisis for at least two years, and in my opinion, the Chinese equity market has already discounted this issue. This is nothing new.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2b92b823c28ac1982fb4ffa0940a435a\" alt=\"Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis\" title=\"Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"219\"/><span>Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis</span></p><p>In fact, it has been since 2021 that the price of Chinese residential property has been plummeting, but as of mid-year, there seems to be a basis for a recovery. Proportionally, the slump in recent years has been greater than during the great financial crisis.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/81dcc4209a4bb6b46695f1df06b401db\" alt=\"CEIC Data\" title=\"CEIC Data\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"367\"/><span>CEIC Data</span></p><p>Moreover, taking a look at the average price of Chinese properties in RMB/sq m, after a violent slump starting in 2021, a new bullish trend has already begun since the beginning of the following year. In short, I believe that overall the worst of the real estate bubble has now already been discounted by the market and China has faced its 2008. We often forget that the Hang Seng (HSI) has collapsed more than 50% from its all-time high: how much further down can it go?</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5af84d3249c1ec37ea03166164b3124e\" alt=\"GuruFocus\" title=\"GuruFocus\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"336\"/><span>GuruFocus</span></p><p>The median of the Hang Seng P/E ratio is 10.20x, today we are at only 7.80x, more than one standard deviation below. In the last 20 years hardly has this index been so depressed.</p><p>So, in addition to the problems with Chinese regulators, Alibaba's price per share has also been affected by the tightening of the Chinese economic environment, which is why I think it has also discounted a potential recession in China. In general, at current prices, I think the Chinese stock market is much more attractive than the U.S. stock market, and Alibaba is probably one of the companies that will benefit most from China's economic rebound.</p><p>While the United States is struggling with high interest rates, rising default rates, and banks reluctant to lend money, China is currently in the opposite situation: interest rates are declining and the Chinese government is also poised to increase fiscal spending.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9f859051f8593bfa6dbdfaa9c074c823\" alt=\"TRADING ECONOMICS\" title=\"TRADING ECONOMICS\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"479\"/><span>TRADING ECONOMICS</span></p><p>The Prime Rate Loan has already decreased twice since the beginning of the year and China's budget deficit ratio will be raised to about 3.80% of GDP following the issuance of CNY 1 trillion sovereign bonds ($137 billion).</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6ed44ccec7a7b6e21a3158b88a5bc687\" alt=\"YCharts\" title=\"YCharts\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"259\"/><span>YCharts</span></p><p>Since China is currently fighting deflation, I would not be surprised if rates were reduced further and fiscal spending increased. During the 2008 crisis, the Chinese government made immediate efforts to avoid a financial meltdown, and about two months after the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy it had a stimulus package worth CNY 4 trillion ready.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b25f78185160015652a365cc8250ecd5\" alt=\"International Monetary Fund\" title=\"International Monetary Fund\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"192\"/><span>International Monetary Fund</span></p><p>Since China remains one of the main economic powers with the lowest debt-GDP ratio, about 77%, I expect that in case of a worse-than-expected real estate crisis, a decision will be made to increase economic stimulus: there is room to do so. Finally, at least for the time being, GDP growth estimates in 2023 and 2024 are sound, 5.20% and 4.10%, respectively.</p><p>In light of all these considerations, I believe that the Chinese stock market has already discounted the worst and as early as next year may begin its comeback. Typically, the market bottom is reached when the following conditions occur:</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Pessimism is extreme.</p></li><li><p>There are deflationary pressures.</p></li><li><p>The government begins to stimulate the economy.</p></li><li><p>Interest rates fall.</p></li></ul><p>China currently meets all the conditions; the U.S. does not even have one since it is coming from years of strong expansion. Therefore, I would not be surprised if in 2024 the performance of these two countries is opposite: Hang Seng rising and S&P500 declining.</p><p>Alibaba was among the hardest hit companies in the Hang Seng Index, so I expect it will be one of the companies to benefit the most when the trend reverses. After all, its fundamentals are still solid.</p><h2 id=\"id_832139716\">Alibaba is not dead</h2><p>When a company loses 77% in three years, we expect at the very least that its core business has been disrupted for the worse. Other times collapses of this magnitude raise assumptions of bankruptcy or permanent damage to the company. In the case of Alibaba, the company has simply encountered two years of stagnation after a decade of strong growth. Even the best companies in the world have difficult times to overcome: take a look at Apple between 2012 and 2014.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4211aefeb6a3498338bb03bd09c4da2b\" alt=\"Chart based on Seeking Alpha data\" title=\"Chart based on Seeking Alpha data\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"288\"/><span>Chart based on Seeking Alpha data</span></p><p>As we can see, until FY2021 growth never had any problems; they started the following year. As already widely discussed, pandemic, fines, and real estate crisis made FY2022 and FY2023 hell, and yet Alibaba came out with its head held high. The company in the last 12 months generated a net income of $18.16 billion, cash from operations of $29.21 billion, and revenues declined minimally. In addition, it should be noted that these figures were impacted by an unfavorable exchange rate effect. Since the Fed is implementing a restrictive monetary policy and China's central bank an expansionary monetary policy, the CNY/USD exchange rate has changed significantly. In any case, performance over the past 12 months has been significantly better than in FY2022 and FY2023, suggesting that a comeback is underway.</p><p>In particular, the first six months of FY2024 are showing improvement in all business segments.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/45c739f0f03ceec0e5dc4c1c44b3d9c1\" alt=\"Alibaba Group September Quarter 2023 Results\" title=\"Alibaba Group September Quarter 2023 Results\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"482\"/><span>Alibaba Group September Quarter 2023 Results</span></p><p>Taobao and Tmall generated revenues of RMB 212.60 billion, up 8% from the previous year. This may seem like a slightly disappointing result, but one must consider the macroeconomic environment in which Alibaba is operating. It is not easy to grow during a deflationary period; in fact, even competitor JD (JD) has struggled.</p><p>International commerce had sensational growth, +47% or RMB 14.86 billion more than last year. This growth comes mainly from the retail segment. This is in my opinion a strong result and a proof of the ease with which Alibaba is expanding overseas through AliExpress.</p><p>Local Services, Digital media, and Cainiao all grew more than 20% over H1 FY2023.</p><p>Cloud had only 3% growth and generated revenues of RMB 52.71 billion; Alibaba continues to have the third largest cloud computing platform globally. The market did not take management's decision to give up the spinoff well, but I personally find it a correct choice. How much capital could Alibaba have gotten from a business segment growing at low-single digits today? For the time being, the focus is to get the Cloud growing again and only then to think about the IPO.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7fc17be9235ca0cf453892450ee58cca\" alt=\"Alibaba Group September Quarter 2023 Results\" title=\"Alibaba Group September Quarter 2023 Results\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"359\"/><span>Alibaba Group September Quarter 2023 Results</span></p><p>Anyway, in terms of profitability the Cloud has improved: compared to H1 FY2023 EBITA improved by 26%. Cainiao is no longer at a loss and Local Services and Digital Media have significantly reduced losses. Overall, income from operations improved by 52%.</p><p>In light of these results, it is clear that Alibaba is not a dying company contrary to what the price per share would have you believe.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/78fa259ec2337c1610a606e589f00301\" alt=\"Seeking Alpha\" title=\"Seeking Alpha\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"262\"/><span>Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>Street Estimates, despite pessimism toward this company, are in favor of steady growth in the future, albeit not at the same rate as in the past decade. After all, Alibaba today is a behemoth and logically cannot sustain the growth rates of the past.</p><p>Finally, the last aspect I would like to cover in this section is shareholder remuneration.</p><p>Alibaba has also officially become a dividend company since a dividend of $2.50 billion will be issued in 2024. The current dividend yield is very low, only 1.38%, but think of its growth potential. This company can easily generate an annual free cash flow of $30 billion over the next few years, so its growth rate could be substantial. The increase in dividend per share will be fueled by the huge buybacks that management is implementing. In the last quarter, treasury stock worth $1.70 billion was purchased and another $14.60 billion remains on hand.</p><p>Personally, on shareholder compensation, I slightly disagree with management's choices: that $2.50 billion I would have preferred if it had been used to increase the buyback. In any case, I understand that this choice was made more to attract new investors than anything else. I expect the buyback to be leveraged as much as possible at the current price.</p><h2 id=\"id_1380646998\">Valuation</h2><p>We came to the centerpiece of the article, which is the valuation of Alibaba. I have written hundreds of articles on Seeking Alpha but honestly, I have never found a company so undervalued. At the current price, Alibaba does not make sense and now I will explain why.</p><p>First of all, net debt is -$51.48 billion and free cash flow for the past 12 months was $24.51 billion (and Alibaba has not yet fully recovered). Subtracting net debt from the current market capitalization of $184 billion, in five and a half years free cash flow (assuming 0% growth) manages to cover the entire capitalization. For comparison, it is as if Apple (AAPL) were trading at $35 per share.</p><p>By creating a discounted cash flow model this undervaluation is even more evident. This model takes into account the following assumptions:</p><ul style=\"\"><li><p>2023-2028 free cash flow was calculated from previous Street Estimates and multiplied by the free cash flow margin for the last 12 months, 19.60%. From 2029-2032 I applied a CAGR of 5% and finally a perpetual growth rate of 2.50%.</p></li><li><p>The discount rate used is 12%. Using the CAPM the rate would have been under 10%, so to make my estimate more conservative I arbitrarily increased it.</p></li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a5f5f5eab483f2bf0d63af89c745d285\" alt=\"Discounted cash flow\" title=\"Discounted cash flow\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"237\"/><span>Discounted cash flow</span></p><p>With these assumptions, Alibaba's fair value is $157.27 per share, more than double the current price. But there is more.</p><p>For the fair value to align with the current price, the RRR would have to be about 25%, effectively making Alibaba almost 10x in 10 years. Thus, investing $1,000 today in 2033 will become $10,000. Anyway, 10x or not, unless the financials are distorted (and I have no reason to believe that) at today's price Alibaba I think is a bargain, potentially the best in 2024.</p><p>With Alibaba, we can have fun making even the most absurd assumptions, but there is no way to make it overvalued.</p><p>Let's assume that all analysts are wrong and Alibaba will never grow again for some strange reason. So, the expected free cash flow in 2023 will have a growth rate of 0% and a perpetual growth rate of 0%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a5f7ad8f76f4a13b9bda104bca587a5a\" alt=\"Discounted cash flow\" title=\"Discounted cash flow\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"236\"/><span>Discounted cash flow</span></p><p>Again, Alibaba is undervalued since the fair value is $106.28 per share, a 47% difference from the current price. All this, still considering an RRR of 12%, is so quite high.</p><p>Let us now assume that Chinese regulators wake up one morning and decide for no reason to fine Alibaba $30 billion. Also, let us assume that the growth rate is -2% as well as the perpetual growth rate.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9647e566fe5b9a5e2ce6ab20df240030\" alt=\"Discounted cash flow\" title=\"Discounted cash flow\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"240\"/><span>Discounted cash flow</span></p><p>Once again, Alibaba is undervalued since its fair value would be $82.17 per share. In short, even in the face of a doomsday scenario, this company continues to be undervalued. Based on its financial results there is basically no way for it to be overvalued.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8dadb1c9a9c9192d47c4dde0aecb9f9a\" alt=\"TIKR.com\" title=\"TIKR.com\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"272\"/><span>TIKR.com</span></p><p>After all, this is to be expected given that its valuation ratios are incredibly low. No company with such high growth prospects and margins is trading at an NTM market cap/FCF of 7.26x; the same goes for the NTM P/E of 7.61x. Their average values since 2015 are 22.54x and 23.97x, respectively, 3 times as high as they are today.</p><h3 id=\"id_2857271186\">An unusual comparison</h3><p>With due differences, in terms of valuation, the current situation of Alibaba reminds me of that of Meta (META) last year. Since mid-2022, I started writing a series of strong buy articles on Meta even though the price kept collapsing. The rhetoric at the time was that Meta was wasting money on the Reality Labs segment and that no one was using Facebook anymore. That distorted perception of reality is what left many panicked investors without earnings. Even, staying on the Meta/Alibaba parallel, in one of my articles I hypothesized a 0% growth scenario for Meta, just as I did earlier with Alibaba.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a8e13113643f1ca6520c743fe04f74df\" alt=\"My article on Seeking Alpha\" title=\"My article on Seeking Alpha\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"411\"/><span>My article on Seeking Alpha</span></p><p>Even then Meta was undervalued, yet the price collapsed another 50% before recovering all the lost ground in about a year. I also wrote strong buy articles when the price was around $100 per share, but at that point, pessimism was at its peak and few wanted to buy.</p><p>With these remarks, I do not want to create false hope since Meta and Alibaba are different companies, but I want to point out how in the market "nonsense prices" sometimes exist and can affect even established and internationally dominant companies. In my opinion, Alibaba's current price per share is completely irrational, just as Meta was at $90 per share. Sometimes the market takes big oversights, and when the numbers are on our side it may be the right time to take advantage of them.</p><h2 id=\"id_3107685505\">Risks and final considerations</h2><p>The fact that Alibaba seems undervalued based on its numbers does not necessarily mean that it will be a bargain and everyone should buy it. It is obvious that there are risks to be evaluated and, in this case, they are quite high given the potential returns.</p><p>Certainly, there is competition that could make future performance less rosy. JD is the main competitor, but when you invest in a Chinese company you have to do some different thinking. Typically, we are used to thinking that the competitors are just other companies, but in this case, there is mainly the Chinese authorities to factor in.</p><p>Chinese big tech companies do not have the same flexibility as Western ones and have to adhere to a set of rules designed for the common good. For example, previously we saw that Alibaba, in addition to being fined, decided to invest $15.50 billion in common prosperity out of thin air. Although wise, this choice seems rather questionable. Just imagine if Apple had done the same: shareholders would not have been happy.</p><p>So, investing in Alibaba means being aware that from one day to the next news could turn the company upside down and that shareholders will not always be put first. At the same time, however, you are buying a company that has no debt, generates $24 billion a year in free cash flow, and has a PE of about 8x. In other words, you must accept some compromises if you want to buy one of the best companies in the world at a ridiculous price: there are no free meals in finance. Finally, the extent of the real estate crisis within the country is still unknown, and this could lead the Chinese stock market to collapse further. In my estimation, even in the event of revenue decline Alibaba is undervalued, but this does not detract from the fact that the situation should be monitored.</p><p>In light of these considerations, it is clear that Alibaba is not an investment for everyone but only for those who believe in China's long-term growth without being influenced by the daily news. If you continually watch the performance of your portfolio and volatility scares you, Alibaba is the last company to invest in. Above all, you need some confidence in the Chinese government's choices and that it will not limit the growth of its big tech too much. The dividend issue could attract new investors, but even then, you need a long-term view since the dividend yield is still too low.</p><p>I realize that many people are not willing to accept that a company operates in such a complex environment, but as far as I am concerned Alibaba is so undervalued that I am willing to pass on it at $72 per share: I think the potential upside is definitely greater than the potential downside. Of course, one should not make the mistake of overweighting it within the portfolio. For the more risk-averse, it might make sense to consider some ETFs where Alibaba occupies one of the prominent positions.

free cash flow margin of 19.60%.5-year revenue growth of about 20%.Net debt of -$51.48 billion and market capitalization of only $184 billion.NTM Market Cap / Free Cash Flow of 7.26x; NTM Price / Normalized Earnings (P/E) of 7.61x.Probably, if this company was headquartered in New York now you would all run to buy it. Unfortunately, it is located on the other side of the world, in Hangzhou, China. It is exactly this aspect that I want to leverage in this article since the issues of this company are not about the business itself but about the country in which it resides. As you might have guessed, I am talking about the much-discussed Alibaba (NYSE:BABA).ContextBefore assessing the current situation, I think it is useful to give a brief recap of what has happened so far since November 2020, which is when Alibaba's meltdown began. In these three years, virtually everything has happened.At the end of October 2020, there was great optimism around Alibaba and it was steadily trading around $280-$300 per share. At the time, it was pretty much done for the IPO of Ant Group, which is the company that owns the world's largest mobile payment platform, Alipay. Alibaba owns 33% of the group, so it had every interest in making the biggest IPO of all time go through. However, when everything seemed to be going right, some statements by Jack Ma about the Chinese financial system caught the attention of the Chinese authorities and after a few days, the IPO was cancelled. According to the authorities' statements, the reason was that Ant Group's structure did not reflect the anti-monopoly rules. After years of turbulence, the worst seems to be behind us, but not without consequences:Ant Group was fined $985 million, one of the highest fines ever imposed by Chinese regulators.The ownership structure has been completely turned upside down: Jack Ma owned 53.46% of the voting shares, today only 6.20%. Thus, no shareholder, alone or in agreement with other parties, will have control.Overall, after these three years, Ant Group comes out weakened, and indirectly so does Alibaba. Be that as it may, this was only the first hiccup.Following the suspension of the IPO, Chinese regulators fined the country's major big tech companies for antitrust violations: in 2021 Alibaba was fined $2.80 billion. In addition, a few months later, the company said it would participate in common prosperity initiatives by investing $15.50 billion through 2025. The goal was to benefit from the economic growth of the entire country:Alibaba is a beneficiary of the strong social and economic progress in China over the past 22 years. We firmly believe that if society is doing well and the economy is doing well, then Alibaba will do well.Former Alibaba CEO Daniel ZhangNeedless to say, the market saw these investments as yet another fine to pay, and from that point on, the stock began to sink. Although by 2022 the fines were over, the S&P 500 (SP500) in a downward trend was yet another excuse to fuel Alibaba's collapse. From $319 per share in October 2020 today the stock is trading at about $72 per share: an absolute disaster.Coming to this point, after all this news, you may be wondering why Alibaba is a strong buy. The reason is that the current price per share is so low that in my opinion, it has already discounted the most negative scenario ever. Over the past three years, everything was a pretext to sell Alibaba and we have reached a point where it is really hard to make things worse. Making an analogy with the U.S. economy, this is Alibaba's 2008 and it is much easier to restart from here than to sink further.At the moment the major problems with Chinese regulators are behind us, but I don't doubt that there may be new complications in the future, and that is what worries the market. While I understand investors' concern, I also believe that one should not be overly pessimistic either. I doubt that it is in China's interest to destroy one of their best companies ever. Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY) and PDD Holdings (PDD) have also been fined, but they have already made up some of the lost ground.My impression is that sentiment is still extremely negative for Alibaba compared to the other Chinese big tech companies, which is why it will have to prove something more to attract investors. Still, it really took very little to go from being one of the best companies in the world to being one of the most avoided: Mr. Market is often too emotional.Analysis of the Chinese economyAs already anticipated, since Alibaba's performance is affected by any news that has to do with China, I think the first thing to analyze is the macroeconomic environment.World BankSince the mid-1960s China's economic growth has been unrestrained and GDP used to increase in double digits. Since 2010, year-on-year growth has slowed down but remains higher than European and U.S. growth. The Chinese government's goal is to grow on average between 4.50-5% per year, which has failed in recent years due to a number of issues.The first was the pandemic. In China, the lockdowns lasted longer and were also much more stringent.The second is that China's real estate market is facing a tough time, which is extremely relevant since it contributes about 30% of GDP. China's housing boom seems to have come to an end and is now paying for the excessive borrowing and construction done over the past decades. The population has stopped growing as it did in the past, and demand for new housing has dropped dramatically to the point where it has created ghost towns.The beginning of the real estate crisis dates back to 2021 when the China Evergrande Group (OTC:EGRNQ), once the second-largest real estate developer in the country, declared bankruptcy. Later, it was the turn of other prominent real estate developers such as Country Garden (OTCPK:CTRYF). In any case, we have been talking about this crisis for at least two years, and in my opinion, the Chinese equity market has already discounted this issue. This is nothing new.Federal Reserve Bank of St. LouisIn fact, it has been since 2021 that the price of Chinese residential property has been plummeting, but as of mid-year, there seems to be a basis for a recovery. Proportionally, the slump in recent years has been greater than during the great financial crisis.CEIC DataMoreover, taking a look at the average price of Chinese properties in RMB/sq m, after a violent slump starting in 2021, a new bullish trend has already begun since the beginning of the following year. In short, I believe that overall the worst of the real estate bubble has now already been discounted by the market and China has faced its 2008. We often forget that the Hang Seng (HSI) has collapsed more than 50% from its all-time high: how much further down can it go?GuruFocusThe median of the Hang Seng P/E ratio is 10.20x, today we are at only 7.80x, more than one standard deviation below. In the last 20 years hardly has this index been so depressed.So, in addition to the problems with Chinese regulators, Alibaba's price per share has also been affected by the tightening of the Chinese economic environment, which is why I think it has also discounted a potential recession in China. In general, at current prices, I think the Chinese stock market is much more attractive than the U.S. stock market, and Alibaba is probably one of the companies that will benefit most from China's economic rebound.While the United States is struggling with high interest rates, rising default rates, and banks reluctant to lend money, China is currently in the opposite situation: interest rates are declining and the Chinese government is also poised to increase fiscal spending.TRADING ECONOMICSThe Prime Rate Loan has already decreased twice since the beginning of the year and China's budget deficit ratio will be raised to about 3.80% of GDP following the issuance of CNY 1 trillion sovereign bonds ($137 billion).YChartsSince China is currently fighting deflation, I would not be surprised if rates were reduced further and fiscal spending increased. During the 2008 crisis, the Chinese government made immediate efforts to avoid a financial meltdown, and about two months after the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy it had a stimulus package worth CNY 4 trillion ready.International Monetary FundSince China remains one of the main economic powers with the lowest debt-GDP ratio, about 77%, I expect that in case of a worse-than-expected real estate crisis, a decision will be made to increase economic stimulus: there is room to do so. Finally, at least for the time being, GDP growth estimates in 2023 and 2024 are sound, 5.20% and 4.10%, respectively.In light of all these considerations, I believe that the Chinese stock market has already discounted the worst and as early as next year may begin its comeback. Typically, the market bottom is reached when the following conditions occur:Pessimism is extreme.There are deflationary pressures.The government begins to stimulate the economy.Interest rates fall.China currently meets all the conditions; the U.S. does not even have one since it is coming from years of strong expansion. Therefore, I would not be surprised if in 2024 the performance of these two countries is opposite: Hang Seng rising and S&P500 declining.Alibaba was among the hardest hit companies in the Hang Seng Index, so I expect it will be one of the companies to benefit the most when the trend reverses. After all, its fundamentals are still solid.Alibaba is not deadWhen a company loses 77% in three years, we expect at the very least that its core business has been disrupted for the worse. Other times collapses of this magnitude raise assumptions of bankruptcy or permanent damage to the company. In the case of Alibaba, the company has simply encountered two years of stagnation after a decade of strong growth. Even the best companies in the world have difficult times to overcome: take a look at Apple between 2012 and 2014.Chart based on Seeking Alpha dataAs we can see, until FY2021 growth never had any problems; they started the following year. As already widely discussed, pandemic, fines, and real estate crisis made FY2022 and FY2023 hell, and yet Alibaba came out with its head held high. The company in the last 12 months generated a net income of $18.16 billion, cash from operations of $29.21 billion, and revenues declined minimally. In addition, it should be noted that these figures were impacted by an unfavorable exchange rate effect. Since the Fed is implementing a restrictive monetary policy and China's central bank an expansionary monetary policy, the CNY/USD exchange rate has changed significantly. In any case, performance over the past 12 months has been significantly better than in FY2022 and FY2023, suggesting that a comeback is underway.In particular, the first six months of FY2024 are showing improvement in all business segments.Alibaba Group September Quarter 2023 ResultsTaobao and Tmall generated revenues of RMB 212.60 billion, up 8% from the previous year. This may seem like a slightly disappointing result, but one must consider the macroeconomic environment in which Alibaba is operating. It is not easy to grow during a deflationary period; in fact, even competitor JD (JD) has struggled.International commerce had sensational growth, +47% or RMB 14.86 billion more than last year. This growth comes mainly from the retail segment. This is in my opinion a strong result and a proof of the ease with which Alibaba is expanding overseas through AliExpress.Local Services, Digital media, and Cainiao all grew more than 20% over H1 FY2023.Cloud had only 3% growth and generated revenues of RMB 52.71 billion; Alibaba continues to have the third largest cloud computing platform globally. The market did not take management's decision to give up the spinoff well, but I personally find it a correct choice. How much capital could Alibaba have gotten from a business segment growing at low-single digits today? For the time being, the focus is to get the Cloud growing again and only then to think about the IPO.Alibaba Group September Quarter 2023 ResultsAnyway, in terms of profitability the Cloud has improved: compared to H1 FY2023 EBITA improved by 26%. Cainiao is no longer at a loss and Local Services and Digital Media have significantly reduced losses. Overall, income from operations improved by 52%.In light of these results, it is clear that Alibaba is not a dying company contrary to what the price per share would have you believe.Seeking AlphaStreet Estimates, despite pessimism toward this company, are in favor of steady growth in the future, albeit not at the same rate as in the past decade. After all, Alibaba today is a behemoth and logically cannot sustain the growth rates of the past.Finally, the last aspect I would like to cover in this section is shareholder remuneration.Alibaba has also officially become a dividend company since a dividend of $2.50 billion will be issued in 2024. The current dividend yield is very low, only 1.38%, but think of its growth potential. This company can easily generate an annual free cash flow of $30 billion over the next few years, so its growth rate could be substantial. The increase in dividend per share will be fueled by the huge buybacks that management is implementing. In the last quarter, treasury stock worth $1.70 billion was purchased and another $14.60 billion remains on hand.Personally, on shareholder compensation, I slightly disagree with management's choices: that $2.50 billion I would have preferred if it had been used to increase the buyback. In any case, I understand that this choice was made more to attract new investors than anything else. I expect the buyback to be leveraged as much as possible at the current price.ValuationWe came to the centerpiece of the article, which is the valuation of Alibaba. I have written hundreds of articles on Seeking Alpha but honestly, I have never found a company so undervalued. At the current price, Alibaba does not make sense and now I will explain why.First of all, net debt is -$51.48 billion and free cash flow for the past 12 months was $24.51 billion (and Alibaba has not yet fully recovered). Subtracting net debt from the current market capitalization of $184 billion, in five and a half years free cash flow (assuming 0% growth) manages to cover the entire capitalization. For comparison, it is as if Apple (AAPL) were trading at $35 per share.By creating a discounted cash flow model this undervaluation is even more evident. This model takes into account the following assumptions:2023-2028 free cash flow was calculated from previous Street Estimates and multiplied by the free cash flow margin for the last 12 months, 19.60%. From 2029-2032 I applied a CAGR of 5% and finally a perpetual growth rate of 2.50%.The discount rate used is 12%. Using the CAPM the rate would have been under 10%, so to make my estimate more conservative I arbitrarily increased it.Discounted cash flowWith these assumptions, Alibaba's fair value is $157.27 per share, more than double the current price. But there is more.For the fair value to align with the current price, the RRR would have to be about 25%, effectively making Alibaba almost 10x in 10 years. Thus, investing $1,000 today in 2033 will become $10,000. Anyway, 10x or not, unless the financials are distorted (and I have no reason to believe that) at today's price Alibaba I think is a bargain, potentially the best in 2024.With Alibaba, we can have fun making even the most absurd assumptions, but there is no way to make it overvalued.Let's assume that all analysts are wrong and Alibaba will never grow again for some strange reason. So, the expected free cash flow in 2023 will have a growth rate of 0% and a perpetual growth rate of 0%.Discounted cash flowAgain, Alibaba is undervalued since the fair value is $106.28 per share, a 47% difference from the current price. All this, still considering an RRR of 12%, is so quite high.Let us now assume that Chinese regulators wake up one morning and decide for no reason to fine Alibaba $30 billion. Also, let us assume that the growth rate is -2% as well as the perpetual growth rate.Discounted cash flowOnce again, Alibaba is undervalued since its fair value would be $82.17 per share. In short, even in the face of a doomsday scenario, this company continues to be undervalued. Based on its financial results there is basically no way for it to be overvalued.TIKR.comAfter all, this is to be expected given that its valuation ratios are incredibly low. No company with such high growth prospects and margins is trading at an NTM market cap/FCF of 7.26x; the same goes for the NTM P/E of 7.61x. Their average values since 2015 are 22.54x and 23.97x, respectively, 3 times as high as they are today.An unusual comparisonWith due differences, in terms of valuation, the current situation of Alibaba reminds me of that of Meta (META) last year. Since mid-2022, I started writing a series of strong buy articles on Meta even though the price kept collapsing. The rhetoric at the time was that Meta was wasting money on the Reality Labs segment and that no one was using Facebook anymore. That distorted perception of reality is what left many panicked investors without earnings. Even, staying on the Meta/Alibaba parallel, in one of my articles I hypothesized a 0% growth scenario for Meta, just as I did earlier with Alibaba.My article on Seeking AlphaEven then Meta was undervalued, yet the price collapsed another 50% before recovering all the lost ground in about a year. I also wrote strong buy articles when the price was around $100 per share, but at that point, pessimism was at its peak and few wanted to buy.With these remarks, I do not want to create false hope since Meta and Alibaba are different companies, but I want to point out how in the market \"nonsense prices\" sometimes exist and can affect even established and internationally dominant companies. In my opinion, Alibaba's current price per share is completely irrational, just as Meta was at $90 per share. Sometimes the market takes big oversights, and when the numbers are on our side it may be the right time to take advantage of them.Risks and final considerationsThe fact that Alibaba seems undervalued based on its numbers does not necessarily mean that it will be a bargain and everyone should buy it. It is obvious that there are risks to be evaluated and, in this case, they are quite high given the potential returns.Certainly, there is competition that could make future performance less rosy. JD is the main competitor, but when you invest in a Chinese company you have to do some different thinking. Typically, we are used to thinking that the competitors are just other companies, but in this case, there is mainly the Chinese authorities to factor in.Chinese big tech companies do not have the same flexibility as Western ones and have to adhere to a set of rules designed for the common good. For example, previously we saw that Alibaba, in addition to being fined, decided to invest $15.50 billion in common prosperity out of thin air. Although wise, this choice seems rather questionable. Just imagine if Apple had done the same: shareholders would not have been happy.So, investing in Alibaba means being aware that from one day to the next news could turn the company upside down and that shareholders will not always be put first. At the same time, however, you are buying a company that has no debt, generates $24 billion a year in free cash flow, and has a PE of about 8x. In other words, you must accept some compromises if you want to buy one of the best companies in the world at a ridiculous price: there are no free meals in finance. Finally, the extent of the real estate crisis within the country is still unknown, and this could lead the Chinese stock market to collapse further. In my estimation, even in the event of revenue decline Alibaba is undervalued, but this does not detract from the fact that the situation should be monitored.In light of these considerations, it is clear that Alibaba is not an investment for everyone but only for those who believe in China's long-term growth without being influenced by the daily news. If you continually watch the performance of your portfolio and volatility scares you, Alibaba is the last company to invest in. Above all, you need some confidence in the Chinese government's choices and that it will not limit the growth of its big tech too much. The dividend issue could attract new investors, but even then, you need a long-term view since the dividend yield is still too low.I realize that many people are not willing to accept that a company operates in such a complex environment, but as far as I am concerned Alibaba is so undervalued that I am willing to pass on it at $72 per share: I think the potential upside is definitely greater than the potential downside. Of course, one should not make the mistake of overweighting it within the portfolio. For the more risk-averse, it might make sense to consider some ETFs where Alibaba occupies one of the prominent positions. After all, China's goal is generalized growth and an ETF would greatly reduce specific risks while still remaining exposed to the country's growth.

Debates about range, cost, and convenience have raged for years, along with debates about how “green” EVs really are. </p> <div> <p>They do happen to be “greener” and a deal between Toyota Motor (TM) and recycling startup Redwood Materials, announced Thursday, reveals how some of the EV environmental concerns will be addressed. </p> <p>Redwood, which was founded by early Tesla (TSLA) executive J.B. Straubel, and Toyota announced a battery recycling and material procurement deal. Toyota will buy cathode materials and copper from Redwood’s recycling operations. </p> <p>A cathode is one side of a battery that facilitates the movement of electrical charge. An EV battery cathode includes combinations of elements such as lithium, iron, cobalt, and others. </p> <p>“Accelerating our recycling efforts and domestic component procurement gets us closer to our ultimate goal of creating a closed-loop battery ecosystem that will become increasingly important as we add more vehicles with batteries to roads across North America,” said Christopher Yang, group vice president for business development at Toyota Motor North America, in a news release. </p> <p>Batteries are partly made out of metals and metals get recycled. Not all of the metals that will end up in EVs will come out of the ground. The environmental impact of mining can be significant. But a key difference between metals and oil, which also comes out of the ground, is that metals, essentially, last forever and get recycled. Oil gets consumed. </p> <p>In that way, the battery is more like a really expensive gasoline tank than it is like the gasoline in the tank. The gasoline is more like the electricity in the battery. The EV environmental debate should start with the energy used to recharge a battery versus gasoline. Today, about 40% of U.S. electricity is generated by assets that don’t generate carbon dioxide, the main gas blamed for global climate change. That includes nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar electricity generation. </p> <p>Mining and mining practices still matter, but metal industries are simply not comparable in size to energy markets. Take Albemarle (ALB) and Exxon Mobil (XOM). Albemarle is the world’s largest lithium miner. Its lithium business is expected to generate sales of about $7 billion in 2023. If every light vehicle sold each year globally was fully electric, and Albemarle maintained its global market share, sales would be closer to $70 billion. Exxon’s sales in 2023 are expected to amount to $350 billion. And Exxon has less market share in oil than Albemarle has in lithium. </p> <p>Don’t forget too that about twice as much coal is taken out of the ground as oil. Coal is mainly burned to generate electricity. </p><div></div> <p>New technologies, such as EVs, always generate new businesses like Redwood. It isn’t publicly traded yet. Li-Cycle (LICY) is another battery recycling startup. Its shares have fallen 88% over the past year while the S&P 500 has risen about 14% and the Nasdaq Composite has gained about 26%. </p> <p>No one said that starting up new businesses serving a growing, disruptive technology would be easy. </p> <p>Write to Al Root at allen.root@dowjones.com</p> </div> </div></body></html>","source":"mwatch_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>Electric-Vehicle Batteries Aren't Like Oil.

On October 15, the company said deliveries of the new Model Y in China had begun.Tesla sold 74,073 China-made vehicles in September, including 43,507 sold in China and 30,566 exported, data released earlier this month by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) showed.BYD (OTCMKTS: BYDDY) was at 53,900 units last week, up 4.86 percent from 51,400 units in the previous week.From October 1 to October 15, 110,500 BYD vehicles were registered for insurance in China.BYD sold 287,454 NEVs in September, up 42.83 percent year-on-year and up 4.76 percent from August.BYD's premium brand Denza stood at 2,200 units last week, up 69.23 percent from 1,300 units in the previous week.Neta was at 3,200 units last week, up 255.56 percent from 900 in the previous week.Zeekr was 2,300 last week, up 53.33 percent from 1,500 the week before.Leapmotor was at 3,100 units last week, up 82.35 percent from 1,700 the week before.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":132,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":209566395281512,"gmtCreate":1692172337432,"gmtModify":1692172341447,"author":{"id":"3579788727995257","authorId":"3579788727995257","name":"Westango","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3a4b1fc2fb23b33fff900b71df70c49f","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579788727995257","authorIdStr":"3579788727995257"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Lithium","listText":"Lithium","text":"Lithium","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/209566395281512","repostId":"2359984083","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2359984083","pubTimestamp":1692128540,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2359984083?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-08-16 03:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Millionaire-Maker Lithium Stocks to Hold Through Thick and Thin","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2359984083","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"These are the millionaire-maker lithium stocks to buy for multibagger return potential, as they represent companies with quality assets.","content":"<html><body><div>\n<div>\n<ul><li><span>These are the lithium stocks to buy at undervalued levels.</span></li><li><strong><span>Albemarle Corporation</span></strong><span> (</span><strong><u><span>ALB</span></u></strong><span>): Lithium sales volume for ALB could grow at a CAGR of 20% to 30% through 2027.</span></li><li><strong><span>Lithium Americas</span></strong><span> (</span><strong><u><span>LAC</span></u></strong><span>): The Thacker Pass project is a key cash flow machine with an asset net present value indicating a big valuation gap.</span></li><li><strong><span><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PLL.AU\">Piedmont Lithium</a></span></strong><span> (</span><strong><u><span>PLL</span></u></strong><span>): PLL received the final permit for construction in Tennessee, and the cash flow outlook beyond 2026 is promising.</span></li></ul> </div>\n<div></div>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<img decoding=\"async\" height=\"432\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/lithium1600d-768x432.jpg\" srcset=\"https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/lithium1600d-768x432.jpg 768w, https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/lithium1600d-300x169.jpg 300w, https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/lithium1600d-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/lithium1600d-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/lithium1600d-200x113.jpg 200w, https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/lithium1600d-400x225.jpg 400w, https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/lithium1600d-116x65.jpg 116w, https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/lithium1600d-100x56.jpg 100w, https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/lithium1600d-89x50.jpg 89w, https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/lithium1600d-78x44.jpg 78w, https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/lithium1600d.jpg 1600w\" width=\"768\"/> </div>\n<figcaption>\n<p>Source: GrAl / Shutterstock.com</p>\n</figcaption>\n</figure>\n<div>\n<p>There seems to be no better time than now to accumulate potential millionaire-maker lithium stocks. After a big rally, lithium has been in a correction mode. That has translated into a downside for some of the best lithium stocks. However, it’s worth noting the lithium story is not limited to 2023 or even the next few years. The demand for lithium will continue to increase beyond the decade. Therefore, it makes sense to hold lithium stocks for multibagger returns.</p>\n<p>Of course, not all stocks will be massive value creators. This column focuses on three millionaire-maker lithium stocks to buy. In terms of fundamentals for the metal, the following point is worth noting. It’s expected the lithium supply gap will be 1.1 million metric tonnes by 2035. That supply represents 24% lower than the demand — enough to underscore the view that lithium will remain in an uptrend.</p>\n<p>Let’s talk about three lithium stocks to buy and hold.\n</p>\n<h2>Albemarle (ALB)</h2>\n<div><img height=\"169\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/alb1600a-300x169.jpg\" width=\"300\"/><div>Source: IgorGolovniov/Shutterstock.com</div></div>\n<p><strong>Albemarle</strong> (NYSE:<strong>ALB</strong>) is among the millionaire-maker lithium stocks to buy and hold forever. After a 35% correction in the last 12 months, ALB stock trades at an attractive forward price-earnings ratio of 7.24. This is a gold accumulation opportunity.</p>\n<p>It’s worth noting that the correction in ALB stock has been on the back of cooling lithium prices. However, considering the long-term fundamentals for lithium, the best part of the rally for ALB stock is due in the next five years.</p>\n<p>Albemarle is well-positioned to capitalize on the industry tailwinds. The company expects lithium sales volume growth at a CAGR of 20% to 30% through 2027. This will translate into revenue growth and cash flow upside.</p>\n<p>For the current year, Albemarle has guided operating cash flow of $1.5 billion. I would not be surprised if OCF swells to $2.5 billion in the next two years. With robust financial flexibility, the company is positioned for big capital investments and dividend growth.</p>\n<h2>Lithium Americas (LAC)</h2>\n<div><img height=\"169\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/lithium-americas-lac-1600-300x169.jpg\" width=\"300\"/><div>Source: Wirestock Creators / Shutterstock.com</div></div>\n<p><strong>Lithium Americas</strong> (NYSE:<strong>LAC</strong>) is another name among lithium stocks to buy that has been trending lower. However, with a prized asset, the company is poised to create massive value in the coming years.</p>\n<p>It’s worth noting that Lithium Americas commands a market valuation of $2.8 billion. The company’s Thacker Pass project has an after-tax net present value of $5.7 billion. The Cauchari-Olaroz asset in Argentina further adds to the NPV valuation. Clearly, LAC stock is trading at a significant valuation gap, and a big rally is impending.</p>\n<p>The company has also received shareholder approval for splitting its North America and Argentina assets into two separate entities. That will unlock value in the coming years.</p>\n<p>Specific to Thacker Pass, the company has signed an agreement with <strong>General Motors</strong> (NYSE:<strong>GM</strong>). Under this agreement, the latter will be making an investment of $650 million in two tranches.</p>\n<p>An important point to note is that GM has signed a binding supply agreement for 100% of lithium carbonate from Thacker Pass (phase one). On production, Lithium Americas has clear revenue visibility.</p>\n<h2>Piedmont Lithium (PLL)</h2>\n<div><img height=\"169\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/pll1600-300x169.png\" width=\"300\"/><div>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div></div>\n<p><strong>Piedmont Lithium</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong>PLL</strong>) stock is a potential multibagger based on the value-unlocking potential of its assets. The correction in the last few quarters shows a good opportunity to accumulate.</p>\n<p>As for positive catalysts, the company announced the first commercial shipment of spodumene concentrate from Quebec. Piedmont has a 25% stake in the asset, which marks the beginning of revenue growth for the company.</p>\n<p>In another major development, the company has received the final permit required to advance construction at the Tennessee asset.</p>\n<p>I must add here that Piedmont has 100% ownership of this asset with a net present value (NPV) of $2.2 billion. Carolina Lithium is another asset with 100% ownership and an NPV of $2.8 billion. These are game-changing assets regarding revenue and cash flow upside in the next five years. With lithium likely to trend higher, the NPV and free cash flow potential will adjust on the upside.</p>\n<p><em>On the date of publication, Faisal Humayun did not hold (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article.

outlook beyond 2026 is promising. \n\n\n\n \n\nSource: GrAl / Shutterstock.com\n\n\n\nThere seems to be no better time than now to accumulate potential millionaire-maker lithium stocks. After a big rally, lithium has been in a correction mode. That has translated into a downside for some of the best lithium stocks. However, it’s worth noting the lithium story is not limited to 2023 or even the next few years. The demand for lithium will continue to increase beyond the decade. Therefore, it makes sense to hold lithium stocks for multibagger returns.\nOf course, not all stocks will be massive value creators. This column focuses on three millionaire-maker lithium stocks to buy. In terms of fundamentals for the metal, the following point is worth noting. It’s expected the lithium supply gap will be 1.1 million metric tonnes by 2035. That supply represents 24% lower than the demand — enough to underscore the view that lithium will remain in an uptrend.\nLet’s talk about three lithium stocks to buy and hold.\n\nAlbemarle (ALB)\nSource: IgorGolovniov/Shutterstock.com\nAlbemarle (NYSE:ALB) is among the millionaire-maker lithium stocks to buy and hold forever. After a 35% correction in the last 12 months, ALB stock trades at an attractive forward price-earnings ratio of 7.24. This is a gold accumulation opportunity.\nIt’s worth noting that the correction in ALB stock has been on the back of cooling lithium prices. However, considering the long-term fundamentals for lithium, the best part of the rally for ALB stock is due in the next five years.\nAlbemarle is well-positioned to capitalize on the industry tailwinds. The company expects lithium sales volume growth at a CAGR of 20% to 30% through 2027. This will translate into revenue growth and cash flow upside.\nFor the current year, Albemarle has guided operating cash flow of $1.5 billion. I would not be surprised if OCF swells to $2.5 billion in the next two years. With robust financial flexibility, the company is positioned for big capital investments and dividend growth.\nLithium Americas (LAC)\nSource: Wirestock Creators / Shutterstock.com\nLithium Americas (NYSE:LAC) is another name among lithium stocks to buy that has been trending lower. However, with a prized asset, the company is poised to create massive value in the coming years.\nIt’s worth noting that Lithium Americas commands a market valuation of $2.8 billion. The company’s Thacker Pass project has an after-tax net present value of $5.7 billion. The Cauchari-Olaroz asset in Argentina further adds to the NPV valuation. Clearly, LAC stock is trading at a significant valuation gap, and a big rally is impending.\nThe company has also received shareholder approval for splitting its North America and Argentina assets into two separate entities. That will unlock value in the coming years.\nSpecific to Thacker Pass, the company has signed an agreement with General Motors (NYSE:GM). Under this agreement, the latter will be making an investment of $650 million in two tranches.\nAn important point to note is that GM has signed a binding supply agreement for 100% of lithium carbonate from Thacker Pass (phase one). On production, Lithium Americas has clear revenue visibility.\nPiedmont Lithium (PLL)\nSource: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com\nPiedmont Lithium (NASDAQ:PLL) stock is a potential multibagger based on the value-unlocking potential of its assets. The correction in the last few quarters shows a good opportunity to accumulate.\nAs for positive catalysts, the company announced the first commercial shipment of spodumene concentrate from Quebec. Piedmont has a 25% stake in the asset, which marks the beginning of revenue growth for the company.\nIn another major development, the company has received the final permit required to advance construction at the Tennessee asset.\nI must add here that Piedmont has 100% ownership of this asset with a net present value (NPV) of $2.2 billion. Carolina Lithium is another asset with 100% ownership and an NPV of $2.8 billion. These are game-changing assets regarding revenue and cash flow upside in the next five years.

It’s expected that EVs sold will increase by 35% this year to 14 million. The growth trend seems promising and that’s one reason to consider exposure to some of the top EV stocks.</p><p>Another reason to be bullish is the fact that this is just the beginning of the growth story. A Goldman Sachs estimate indicates that half of new cars sold globally will be EVs in 2035. Further, global EV sales will accelerate to 73 million by 2040.</p><p>Given these estimates, there is a big potential for growth. The growth story will encapsulate car makers, EV charging infrastructure companies, EV battery companies, and producers of metals. This column will discuss seven of the top EV stocks that are positioned to benefit from sustained positive industry tailwinds. Let’s discuss the reasons to be bullish on these top EV stocks.</p><h2 id=\"id_247610688\">Tesla (TSLA)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ee430c7870e671e00226e96a004ec1c0\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/></p><p>Source: Vova Shevchuk / Shutterstock.com</p><p><strong>Tesla</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong><u>TSLA</u></strong>) surged by 144% year-to-date. Without a doubt, it’s among the top EV stocks to buy on corrections. A 10% downside from current levels would be an attractive entry point.</p><p>From a fundamental perspective, Tesla reported cash and equivalents of $23 billion as of Q2 2023. Further, the company generated an operating cash flow of $5.6 billion for the first half of the year. This is important to mention as Tesla has an ambitious target of producing 20 million cars annually by 2030. The company’s financial flexibility is robust to invest in multiple factories.</p><p>I also like the fact that Tesla has an attractive product lineup. This includes the Cybertruck, Roadster, and Tesla Semi. The company’s delivery growth is likely to remain healthy. It’s also being speculated that the revenue potential from Tesla’s supercharger network can be in excess of $100 billion. The growth story therefore looks attractive and TSLA stock is poised to remain in an uptrend.</p><h2 id=\"id_3270677379\">Li Auto (LI)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b02e66ed89bedc81034dbf1814b77544\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/></p><p>Source: PX Media / Shutterstock</p><p><strong>Li Auto</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong><u>LI</u></strong>) has already seen a strong rally year-to-date. The upside from oversold levels has been backed by strong business developments. I believe that LI stock is worth accumulating on corrections with an investment horizon of five years.</p><p>For Q2 2023, Li reported delivery growth of 201.6% on a year-on-year basis to 86,533. Robust growth has been backed by aggressive expansion in the retail network coupled with the launch of multiple new models. It’s worth noting that Li Auto will unveil the super flagship 5C BEV model, Li MEGA, in Q4 2023. I believe that delivery growth will remain stellar in 2024 and beyond.</p><p>Another reason to like LI stock is healthy margins. For Q1 2023, the company reported a vehicle margin of 19.8% and a free cash flow of $975.9 million. With operating leverage, FCF is likely to accelerate and the company’s financial flexibility will remain high for investment in innovation.</p><h2 id=\"id_2006618486\">ChargePoint Holdings (CHPT)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f63577bf32dfdb1abd33de59523f7323\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/></p><p>Source: Epic Cure / Shutterstock</p><p>Electric vehicle charging infrastructure stocks have been depressed and <strong>ChargePoint Holdings</strong> (NYSE:<strong><u>CHPT</u></strong>) is no exception. However, I believe that the worst of the correction for CHPT stock is over. A breakout rally is likely after some consolidation.</p><p>From a business perspective, there are several positives to note. For Q1 2024, the company reported 59% year-on-year revenue growth to $130 million. It’s important to note that subscription revenue increased to $26.4 million. As the number of charging ports installed increases, recurring revenue will swell. This will boost the company’s EBITDA margin. ChargePoint reported a gross margin expansion of 800 basis points in Q1 2023 on a year-on-year basis.</p><p>It’s also worth noting that ChargePoint has a strong presence in North America. Additionally, the company is already present in 16 countries in Europe. With a wide addressable market, the company’s revenue growth is likely to remain robust in the coming years.</p><h2 id=\"id_2730912302\">Albemarle (ALB)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8914c62977253620c213b3e0d0109f08\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/></p><p>Source: Zurijeta / Shutterstock.com</p><p><strong>Albemarle </strong>(NYSE:<strong><u>ALB</u></strong>) stock has been trending lower in the last few months. The reason is a correction in lithium price. However, through the decade and beyond, the lithium supply gap is likely to worsen. There is little doubt on the point that lithium will trend higher on the back of strong demand from the EV battery segment.</p><p>It’s therefore a good time to accumulate Albemarle, which currently trades at a forward price-earnings ratio of 9. I would not be surprised if the stock doubles in the next 24 months. In terms of company-specific growth, Albemarle expects lithium sales volume to increase at a CAGR of 20% to 30% through 2027. This will translate into revenue and cash flow upside. Potentially higher realized prices will accelerate free cash flows. I, therefore, believe that ALB stock is among the best dividend growth stocks to consider at current valuations.</p><h2 id=\"id_2980970697\">Polestar Automotive (PSNY)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/46286e26974bf56d8192df56ee98f9fb\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/></p><p>Source: shutterstock.com/CC7</p><p><strong>Polestar Automotive</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong><u>PSNY</u></strong>) stock had touched lows of $3.10 in March. The stock is higher by almost 40% at current levels of $4.33. I believe that the uptrend is likely to sustain with several positives on the horizon.</p><p>Earlier this year, the company revised its delivery guidance on the downside. This factor is discounted in the stock and the company is on track to achieve the revised guidance of 60,000 to 70,000 deliveries. I believe that delivery growth is likely to accelerate meaningfully next year and in 2025.</p><p>The reason is the commercial launch of Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 in Q1 2023. If macroeconomic conditions are favorable, delivery growth will be robust. Further, another model is due for launch in 2026. It’s also worth noting that the company has intensified cost-cutting measures. EBITDA level losses are likely to narrow. Operating leverage will further contribute to an improvement in EBITDA margin.</p><h2 id=\"id_3450298300\">Panasonic Holdings (PCRFY)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/30f52acb24654c3464cfbbf0711efe59\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/></p><p>Source: Freedom365day / Shutterstock.com</p><p>Among EV battery companies, <strong>Panasonic Holdings</strong> (OTCMKTS:<strong><u>PCRFY</u></strong>) looks attractive. Even after a rally of 47% for the year, PCRFY stock trades at a forward price-earnings ratio of 11.2. Further, the stock offers a dividend yield of 1.73%. I expect multi-bagger returns over the next five to seven years.</p><p>A big reason to like Panasonic is the company’s aggressive growth plans. Once the Kansas battery plant is operational, the company expects annual capacity to increase to 80 GWh. However, Panasonic is targeting an EV battery capacity of 200 GWh by 2031.</p><p>To accomplish this, Panasonic needs to construct four more factories. The plans provide clear revenue and earnings growth visibility. Panasonic has been an innovator and that’s another reason to like the stock. The company is targeting a 20% increase in battery density by 2030. This will make EV batteries smaller and lighter.</p><h2 id=\"id_3094411144\">Solid Power (SLDP)</h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e4149744de6f57852c6db855e08dbb9\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/></p><p>Source: Chompoo Suriyo / Shutterstock.com</p><p><strong>Solid Power</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong><u>SLDP</u></strong>) is another EV battery stock that’s worth holding. The company is still at an early stage and multibagger returns are likely. SLDP stock has remained in a downtrend in the last few quarters. I see current levels as attractive for fresh exposure.</p><p>As an overview, Solid Power is working towards the commercialization of solid-state batteries. It’s unlikely that the product will be on the market before 2026. However, I expect SLDP stock to trend higher if the research and development progress is encouraging.</p><p>It’s worth noting that the company will be delivering EV cells to automotive partners for validation testing in 2023. This is an impending catalyst for stock upside. In Dec., the company agreed to license its technology to <strong>BMW</strong> (OTCMKTS:<strong><u>BMWYY</u></strong>). This will help in parallel research and development activity. With a healthy cash buffer, Solid Power is fully financed for the next 12 to 18 months.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace_stock_picks","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The upside from oversold levels has been backed by strong business developments. I believe that LI stock is worth accumulating on corrections with an investment horizon of five years.For Q2 2023, Li reported delivery growth of 201.6% on a year-on-year basis to 86,533. Robust growth has been backed by aggressive expansion in the retail network coupled with the launch of multiple new models. It’s worth noting that Li Auto will unveil the super flagship 5C BEV model, Li MEGA, in Q4 2023.

The stock is higher by almost 40% at current levels of $4.33. I believe that the uptrend is likely to sustain with several positives on the horizon.Earlier this year, the company revised its delivery guidance on the downside.

I believe that delivery growth is likely to accelerate meaningfully next year and in 2025.The reason is the commercial launch of Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 in Q1 2023. If macroeconomic conditions are favorable, delivery growth will be robust. Further, another model is due for launch in 2026. It’s also worth noting that the company has intensified cost-cutting measures. EBITDA level losses are likely to narrow. Operating leverage will further contribute to an improvement in EBITDA margin.Panasonic Holdings (PCRFY)Source: Freedom365day / Shutterstock.comAmong EV battery companies, Panasonic Holdings (OTCMKTS:PCRFY) looks attractive. Even after a rally of 47% for the year, PCRFY stock trades at a forward price-earnings ratio of 11.2. Further, the stock offers a dividend yield of 1.73%. I expect multi-bagger returns over the next five to seven years.A big reason to like Panasonic is the company’s aggressive growth plans. Once the Kansas battery plant is operational, the company expects annual capacity to increase to 80 GWh. However, Panasonic is targeting an EV battery capacity of 200 GWh by 2031.To accomplish this, Panasonic needs to construct four more factories. The plans provide clear revenue and earnings growth visibility. Panasonic has been an innovator and that’s another reason to like the stock. The company is targeting a 20% increase in battery density by 2030. This will make EV batteries smaller and lighter.Solid Power (SLDP)Source: Chompoo Suriyo / Shutterstock.comSolid Power (NASDAQ:SLDP) is another EV battery stock that’s worth holding. The company is still at an early stage and multibagger returns are likely. SLDP stock has remained in a downtrend in the last few quarters. I see current levels as attractive for fresh exposure.As an overview, Solid Power is working towards the commercialization of solid-state batteries. It’s unlikely that the product will be on the market before 2026. However, I expect SLDP stock to trend higher if the research and development progress is encouraging.It’s worth noting that the company will be delivering EV cells to automotive partners for validation testing in 2023. This is an impending catalyst for stock upside. In Dec., the company agreed to license its technology to BMW (OTCMKTS:BMWYY). This will help in parallel research and development activity. With a healthy cash buffer, Solid Power is fully financed for the next 12 to 18 months.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":300,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":195421420781784,"gmtCreate":1688747877836,"gmtModify":1688748093567,"author":{"id":"3579788727995257","authorId":"3579788727995257","name":"Westango","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3a4b1fc2fb23b33fff900b71df70c49f","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579788727995257","authorIdStr":"3579788727995257"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a

- Meta Platforms' one-day crash now ranks as the worst in stock-market history.The Facebook owner plunged 26 percent on Thursday (Feb 3) on the back of woeful earnings results, and erased about US$251.3 billion (S$337.8 billion) in market value. That's the biggest wipeout in market value for any US company ever.And while the stock could certainly bounce back in coming days, especially given the volatility that's gripped the technology sector this year, the mood on Wall Street has turned decidedly bleak on the long-time market darling.Analysts are pointing to the stiff competition that Meta now faces from rivals and to the fact that revenue was below expectations as causes for concern. Michael Nathanson, an analyst at brokerage Moffett Nathanson, titled his note \"Facebook: The Beginning of the End?\"\"These cuts run deep,\" he wrote. The results were \"a headline grabber and not in a good way.\"The sheer size of Facebook's collapse illustrates just how tech companies have ballooned in size to become behemoths with unprecedented market power, and the drama that can ensue when they stumble.\"Lots of US megacaps are priced as growth stocks. They may suffer more in a rising yield environment, especially if growth becomes more questionable,\" said Frederic Rollin, senior investment advisor at Pictet Asset Management.Meta \"finds itself in the middle of a perfect storm,\" wrote Youssef Squali, an analyst at Truist Securities.Twitter, Snap and Pinterest all closed lower on Thursday and dragged the Nasdaq Index down 4.2 per cent, its worst sell-off since September 2020. Meta shares rose 1.4 per cent after hours.Meta's market cap as of Wednesday's close stood at roughly US$900 billion. The company makes up one of the original FAANG cohort of tech megacaps, including Google's parent Alphabet., Amazon.com and Apple.It's not the first time Meta shares have dropped dramatically. The stock plunged 19 per cent in July 2018 on a slowdown in user growth, translating to a about US$120 billion decline in market capitalisation. At the time, it set the record for the largest-ever loss of value in one day for a US traded company.\"We're hopeful the company kitchen-sinked the outlook,\" said Shyam Patil, an analyst at Susquehanna Financial Group.More On This TopicFacebook parent Meta sheds US$200 billion in stock plummetMark Zuckerberg loses US$29 billion in a day as Meta shares crash","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":85,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3572005609122539","authorId":"3572005609122539","name":"ngchris","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/76fa13deb76ef9b61305ed927b5c3290","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3572005609122539","authorIdStr":"3572005609122539"},"content":"is this the beginning or the end of the fall?","text":"is this the beginning or the end of the fall?","html":"is this the beginning or the end of the fall?"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9091823550,"gmtCreate":1643843352277,"gmtModify":1676533861418,"author":{"id":"3579788727995257","authorId":"3579788727995257","name":"Westango","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3a4b1fc2fb23b33fff900b71df70c49f","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579788727995257","authorIdStr":"3579788727995257"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Why","listText":"Why","text":"Why","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9091823550","repostId":"2208364488","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2208364488","pubTimestamp":1643842462,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2208364488?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-02-03 06:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Meta Platforms Stock Plunges 20% on Q4 EPS Miss and Worse Than Expected Outlook","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2208364488","media":"StreetInsider","summary":"Meta Platforms shares dropped more than 20% after-hours following the company’s Q4 results, with EPS","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Meta Platforms</a> shares dropped more than 20% after-hours following the company’s Q4 results, with EPS of $3.67 coming in worse than the consensus estimate of $3.84.

After all, oil prices have doubled since the beginning of 2021, and Buffett was buying on the way up. Moreover, there are now widespread fears about a recession later this year or next year, which could hurt oil demand. The U.S. rig count is also rising, which should bring supply on line later this year, and the government is even releasing 1 million barrels of oil per day for the next six months from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.</p><p>On the other hand, Europe is now contemplating a quicker-than-expected embargo of Russian oil due to its atrocities in Ukraine. Moreover, the COVID-19 lockdowns in China could lift in the near future, at about the same time as the summer highway-travel season in the U.S. So there is also a case to be made that oil could be in for further gains (or at least stability at these high levels) for the foreseeable future.</p><p>In any case, Buffett tends to take a longer-term view of these things. More likely, he sees a structural supply shortfall over the next decade, and sees the high dividends from oil companies as durable. As a justification for his initial preferred-stock financing of Occidental back in 2019, he admitted the financing was a bet on higher oil prices over the long term. Given an even more favorable setup today, that view likely hasn't changed.</p><p>Individual investors should make their own decisions about their allocation to traditional energy. However, the transition to clean energy won't happen overnight. As long as the world uses fossil fuels, there will be a need for traditional energy companies.

But the broader tech market sell-off since November 2021 has been brutal to many high-growth stocks, and some now present an attractive risk-reward proposition.</p><p>Two stocks in particular are changing the face of their respective industries through innovation.

Latch: Down 68%</h2><p>The security industry for new buildings probably isn't the first place you'd look for a transformative tech stock. But <b>Latch </b>(NASDAQ:LTCH) is delivering innovative solutions that are changing the way high-rise builders think about guest management and access. Latch has become so popular, in fact, that 3 out of every 10 new apartments in the U.S. feature its security products.</p><p>The company's Smart Access technology allows users to unlock their doors using the Latch App, a key code, or even their <b>Apple </b>Watch. It offers multiple hardware configurations to serve new construction or to retrofit existing buildings.

Latch: Down 68%The security industry for new buildings probably isn't the first place you'd look for a transformative tech stock. But Latch (NASDAQ:LTCH) is delivering innovative solutions that are changing the way high-rise builders think about guest management and access. Latch has become so popular, in fact, that 3 out of every 10 new apartments in the U.S. feature its security products.The company's Smart Access technology allows users to unlock their doors using the Latch App, a key code, or even their Apple Watch. It offers multiple hardware configurations to serve new construction or to retrofit existing buildings. And the Latch Intercom allows new-age guest and delivery management, giving the users power to grant access to a visitor or a courier even if they're not home.But unlike many security providers, which install systems and then move on, Latch is also a software-as-a-service company. Once its Intercom and Smart Home systems are implemented, it charges each landlord a subscription fee, creating a recurring revenue stream.

This would mark a year-over-year decline of 2.58%. Meanwhile, the Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $33 billion, up 17.56% from the year-ago period.</p><p>Here's what to watch in Meta Platforms upcoming report.</p><p><b>Slowing revenue growth</b></p><p>Previously, Meta Platforms has missed market expectations for revenue in quarter three (Q3) 2021 and its forecast for Q4’s revenue at that time also came in below analysts’ estimates. With its share price on a downtrend ever since, the upcoming Q4 revenue will be on watch to validate if its sales growth can outperform.</p><p>"Our outlook reflects the significant uncertainty we face in the fourth quarter in light of continued headwinds from Apple's iOS 14 changes, and macroeconomic and COVID-related factors," explained Facebook's chief financial officer in the company's fourth-quarter earnings call.</p><p>One of the key performance metric, the average revenue per user (ARPU), may also be in focus. Seasonally, Q4 tends to see the ARPU figure pull ahead from the other quarters, considering that the year-end holiday season may see greater ramp-up for business advertising. That said, Apple's iOS 14 changes which require apps to seek users’ permission for data collection and sharing remains a weighing factor. This comes in the form of potentially reducing Meta Platforms’ accuracy for ads targeting and limiting their ad pricing as a result. We have seen the impact surface in Q3, with its ARPU declining 1.2% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), in what should traditionally be an increase. With that, any further impact on the holiday-driven Q4 will continue to be on watch in measuring Meta Platforms’ ability to mitigate these changes.</p><p><b>User growth</b></p><p>Facebook continues to consistently grow its user base nicely. In the company's third quarter, total unique monthly users across the company's family of apps (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp) rose 6% year over year. Unique daily active users increased 11% year over year.</p><p>Meta Platforms management said in its most recent quarterly earnings call that its TikTok-like Reels video product has been a key growth driver for engagement on its platform. If Reels' momentum persisted, it wouldn't be surprising to see a slight uptick in Meta Platforms' fourth-quarter user growth rates.</p><p>"Reels is already the primary driver of engagement profiles," explained Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg in the company's third-quarter earnings call. "It's incredibly entertaining, and I think that there is a huge amount of potential ahead. We expect this to continue growing and I am optimistic that Reels will be as important for our products as Stories is."</p><p><b>Metaverse</b></p><p>With Facebook’s recent name change to Meta Platforms, the company has placed its focus in building the metaverse, where it may already seem to be better equipped than other companies in being the pioneer for the theme. For one, it has its Oculus division which provides virtual reality headsets as a portal to that realm and recently, the company has announced to be in the midst of creating an AI supercomputer – AI Research SuperCluster to power the metaverse.</p><p>While its investments in the metaverse may not contribute to its topline in the upcoming Q4 results, or even subsequent years to come, any vision from the management in earnings call will be closely watched. This may include projected costs for metaverse-related development, expected timeline for launch and further reaffirmation of monetisation plans.</p><p>Investments for Metaverse, however, may lead to higher operating expenses and with the absence of any monetisation from that front in the near-term, its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin may be expected to come under pressure. Meta Platforms has anticipated to spend at least $10 billion in 2021 and expect to increase its investments for the next several years. While its EBITDA margin remains at a promising level of 42.8% in Q3 2021, the management has guided for 2022 margins to be lower than 2021. With that, any impact on margins will continue to be monitored ahead.</p></body></html>","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 Platforms Earnings Preview: What to Watch on Feb. 2</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\">\nMeta Platforms Earnings Preview: What to Watch on Feb. 2\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<a class=\"head\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/wemedia/1079075236\">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Tiger Newspress </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2022-01-27 17:22</p>\n</div>\n\n</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body><p>Meta Platforms announced that the company's fourth quarter and full year 2021 financial results will be released after market close on Wednesday, February 2.</p><p>Beginning with the fourth quarter 2021 earnings results, Meta will report revenue and income (loss) from operations for the following two segments:</p><ul><li>Family of Apps (FoA) includes Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp and other services.</li><li>Reality Labs (RL) includes augmented and virtual reality related consumer hardware, software and content.</li></ul><p>In that report, analysts expect Meta Platforms to post earnings of $3.78 per share.
