The most recent stock is <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMBP\">Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A.</a></strong> (<span>NYSE:AMBP</span>). Ardagh is a Luxembourg-based company that supplies metal beverage cans for<span> various uses such as beer/wine, energy drinks, soda, juices, teas, hard seltzers, and sparkling water. The company has some positive things going for it, which can help drive the stock higher in 2024 and beyond.</span></p> <h2>Growth Catalysts</h2> <p>Conditions are likely changing for the better for Ardagh. AMBP did experience some weaker global demand from retail price inflation/household financial pressures in recent years. However, the rate of inflation has been returning to normal. The latest report showed that prices increased 0.2% from November to December which is a pace that is more consistent with pre-pandemic levels. Core prices increased 2.6% in December on a year-over-year<span> basis, which is a little above the Federal Reserve's target rate of 2%.</span></p> <p>The lower rate of inflation could put consumers in a better position to make purchases including the convenience of buying canned beverages. The long-term global growth outlook for metal cans is positive. The global market for metal cans is expected to increase at about 6.2% annually to reach about $106 billion by 2030. If this expected growth is achieved, it would likely provide a strong positive tailwind for Ardagh's metal beverage cans.</p> <p>AMBP improved its operating cash flow in 2023, which should contribute to earnings growth for Q4 which will be reported on February 22, 2024. Ardagh's operating cash flow increased from $205 million in 2022 to $405 million for the trailing 12 month period (ending in Q3 2023). The company expects to achieve adjusted free cash flow of $100 million for 2023 which is 2x higher than their previous guidance. Higher cash flow gives Ardagh more flexibility to invest in the business, pay down debt, for share repurchases, and to pay dividends.</p> <p>Looking ahead to 2024, Ardagh is poised to improve profitability. The company is streamlining its operations by closing its Whitehouse, Ohio facility in Q1 2024. The company mentioned in its Q3 2023 earnings conference call that the closure decision is to balance capacity and demand. This facility handled 10% of demand in North America. While, closing the facility could be perceived as negative by shrinking operations, it could have a positive effect on earnings as Ardagh's operations more efficiently match the market's current demand. The company is likely reducing unnecessary costs by closing this plant while meeting demand from its remaining facilities.</p> <p>AMBP also optimized its operations in Europe by closing its remaining steel lines in Germany at the end of 2023 in favor of two more efficient aluminum lines. The company expects this to help achieve future earnings growth.</p> <p>Current analysts' consensus estimates show that Ardagh's revenue is expected to increase by 3% to 4% to $4.96 billion while EPS is expected to grow by about 49% to $0.23 in 2024. This can be achieved through Ardagh's operational improvement strategies, and from stronger sales of beverages in metal cans which can be stimulated from lower inflation and from new marketing. The upcoming Super Bowl commercials on February 11, 2024 are expected to feature multiple beer and soda brands, which have beverages available in cans. Also, one of the leading drink companies, <strong>Monster Beverage</strong> (MNST) which offers beverages in cans has plans for new product launches and marketing strategies to drive sales going forward. These marketing strategies can bring more awareness for beverages offered in metal cans, which may increase demand for Ardagh's aluminum cans.</p> <h2>Valuation</h2> <p>Ardagh is attractively valued in terms of forward price/cash flow as compared to its competitors. Here's how the company stacks up:</p> <span><span><span></span><table> <tr> <td> </td> <td>AMBP</td> <td> <p>Greif</p> <p>(GEF)</p> </td> <td> <p>Silgan</p> <p>(SLGN)</p> </td> <td> <p>Ball Corp.</p> <p>(BALL)</p> </td> <td> <p>Crown Holdings</p> <p>(CCK)</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Forward Price/Cash Flow</td> <td>4.3</td> <td>10.7</td> <td>8.3</td> <td>9.2</td> <td>7.8</td> </tr> </table> <span></span></span><button><svg viewbox=\"0 0 16 16\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\"><path clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M16 11a5 5 0 0 1-5 5H5a5 5 0 0 1-5-5V5a5 5 0 0 1 5-5h6a5 5 0 0 1 5 5v6zm-4.5-2.5h2v-6h-6v2h4v4zm-9-1h2v4h4v2h-6v-6z\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"></path></svg>Click to enlarge</button></span> <p><em>source: Seeking Alpha</em></p> <p>Ardagh is valued significantly below its competitors. The average forward price/cash flow among these five companies is 8.06. Ardagh is trading 47% below that average.</p> <p>I think that the forward price/cash flow metric is important for AMBP due to the company's efforts to significantly improve its cash flow. The company is on track to more than double its operating cash flow in 2023 over 2022. We'll see the final figure when AMBP reports Q4 2023 earnings in February.</p> <p>It looks likely that Ardagh can continue to grow cash flow at a strong pace due to the efforts to streamline the company's facilities. Cash flow is the life blood of the business which can help the company pay dividends, invest in the business, for share repurchases, and to pay down debt.</p> <p>Ardagh's stock has a good chance to outperform its competitors in 2024 due to the company's much lower valuation. The company's efforts to increase cash flow can be the positive catalyst to drive the stock for outperformance. I expect Ardagh's efforts to increase cash flow in 2024.</p> <h2>Technical Perspective</h2> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/1/28/371238-17064902480475335.png\"/></span> </picture><figcaption><p>Ardagh Metal Packaging (AMBP) Daily Stock Chart w/ MACD <span>(Tradingview)</span></p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>The daily chart above shows the stock recovering after a sharp drop in 2023. The Q3 2023 earnings report from October acted as a positive catalyst for AMBP. Investors were pleased with Ardagh's results and guidance. The company beat analysts' revenue expectations by $49.7 million on a 10% year-over-year gain while earnings were in-line with expectations.</p> <p>The MACD indicator at the bottom of the chart shows a new uptrend as the blue MACD line increased above the red signal line and the histogram turned back to green. The positive momentum can continue as investors anticipate the Q4 earnings report on February 22, 2024. The next report should provide the direction for the stock. A continuation of the recent rally looks likely in my opinion as Ardagh's efforts to increase cash flow will be partly reflected in Q4. Plus, the company could give positive guidance for Q1 2024 as it closed the steel lines in Germany at the end of 2023 to streamline operations. So, the company would likely benefit in Q1 2024 with an optimized network to more efficiently meet demand. This could result in improvements in profitability for higher earnings and cash flow growth.</p> <h2>High Dividend Yield</h2> <p>In addition to the potential stock price appreciation, Ardagh pays a dividend with a current annual yield of nearly 11%. Ardagh increased the dividend payment by 33% over the trailing 12 month period. The company's improvements in cash flow makes future dividend payment increases likely.</p> <p>One investor concern in the past was Ardagh's high trailing payout ratio of 437%. However, the improvements in cash flow bring the payout ratio down to 267% on a forward looking basis. Continued increases in cash flow could bring the payout ratio down further to more attractive levels.</p> <h2>Ardagh's Long-Term Outlook</h2> <p>The main risk for Ardagh is the possibility of a shift in consumer behavior away from metal-canned beverages (beer, soda, energy drinks, etc). This could occur if inflation spikes again, leading consumers to cut back on canned beverages. A possible recession from higher interest rates could also lead to consumers to cut back on canned beverages. Then, there is always the possibility that an alternative beverage container could become more in favor over metal cans.</p> <div></div> <p>Despite the risks, I expect Ardagh to have a positive year in 2024. The stock's low valuation leaves plenty of upside potential for AMBP. The company's efforts to streamline its network of facilities for cash flow growth can be the catalyst to drive the stock higher this year. Increased marketing efforts from leading beverage companies can help drive demand for aluminum cans in 2024. The long-term expected global growth for metal cans can provide a positive tailwind for Ardagh over multiple years.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

JohnnyGreig/E+ via Getty Images I have been digging up under covered and lesser known stocks recently. The most recent stock is Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. (NYSE:AMBP). Ardagh is a Luxembourg-based company that supplies metal beverage cans for various uses such as beer/wine, energy drinks, soda, juices, teas, hard seltzers, and sparkling water. The company has some positive things going for it, which can help drive the stock higher in 2024 and beyond. Growth Catalysts Conditions are likely changing for the better for Ardagh. AMBP did experience some weaker global demand from retail price inflation/household financial pressures in recent years. However, the rate of inflation has been returning to normal. The latest report showed that prices increased 0.2% from November to December which is a pace that is more consistent with pre-pandemic levels. Core prices increased 2.6% in December on a year-over-year basis, which is a little above the Federal Reserve's target rate of 2%. The lower rate of inflation could put consumers in a better position to make purchases including the convenience of buying canned beverages. The long-term global growth outlook for metal cans is positive. The global market for metal cans is expected to increase at about 6.2% annually to reach about $106 billion by 2030. If this expected growth is achieved, it would likely provide a strong positive tailwind for Ardagh's metal beverage cans. AMBP improved its operating cash flow in 2023, which should contribute to earnings growth for Q4 which will be reported on February 22, 2024. Ardagh's operating cash flow increased from $205 million in 2022 to $405 million for the trailing 12 month period (ending in Q3 2023). The company expects to achieve adjusted free cash flow of $100 million for 2023 which is 2x higher than their previous guidance. Higher cash flow gives Ardagh more flexibility to invest in the business, pay down debt, for share repurchases, and to pay dividends. Looking ahead to 2024, Ardagh is poised to improve profitability. The company is streamlining its operations by closing its Whitehouse, Ohio facility in Q1 2024. The company mentioned in its Q3 2023 earnings conference call that the closure decision is to balance capacity and demand. This facility handled 10% of demand in North America. While, closing the facility could be perceived as negative by shrinking operations, it could have a positive effect on earnings as Ardagh's operations more efficiently match the market's current demand. The company is likely reducing unnecessary costs by closing this plant while meeting demand from its remaining facilities. AMBP also optimized its operations in Europe by closing its remaining steel lines in Germany at the end of 2023 in favor of two more efficient aluminum lines. The company expects this to help achieve future earnings growth. Current analysts' consensus estimates show that Ardagh's revenue is expected to increase by 3% to 4% to $4.96 billion while EPS is expected to grow by about 49% to $0.23 in 2024. This can be achieved through Ardagh's operational improvement strategies, and from stronger sales of beverages in metal cans which can be stimulated from lower inflation and from new marketing. The upcoming Super Bowl commercials on February 11, 2024 are expected to feature multiple beer and soda brands, which have beverages available in cans. Also, one of the leading drink companies, Monster Beverage (MNST) which offers beverages in cans has plans for new product launches and marketing strategies to drive sales going forward. These marketing strategies can bring more awareness for beverages offered in metal cans, which may increase demand for Ardagh's aluminum cans. Valuation Ardagh is attractively valued in terms of forward price/cash flow as compared to its competitors. Here's how the company stacks up:     AMBP  Greif (GEF)   Silgan (SLGN)   Ball Corp. (BALL)   Crown Holdings (CCK)    Forward Price/Cash Flow 4.3 10.7 8.3 9.2 7.8   Click to enlarge source: Seeking Alpha Ardagh is valued significantly below its competitors. The average forward price/cash flow among these five companies is 8.06. Ardagh is trading 47% below that average. I think that the forward price/cash flow metric is important for AMBP due to the company's efforts to significantly improve its cash flow. The company is on track to more than double its operating cash flow in 2023 over 2022. We'll see the final figure when AMBP reports Q4 2023 earnings in February. It looks likely that Ardagh can continue to grow cash flow at a strong pace due to the efforts to streamline the company's facilities. Cash flow is the life blood of the business which can help the company pay dividends, invest in the business, for share repurchases, and to pay down debt. Ardagh's stock has a good chance to outperform its competitors in 2024 due to the company's much lower valuation. The company's efforts to increase cash flow can be the positive catalyst to drive the stock for outperformance. I expect Ardagh's efforts to increase cash flow in 2024. Technical Perspective   Ardagh Metal Packaging (AMBP) Daily Stock Chart w/ MACD (Tradingview) The daily chart above shows the stock recovering after a sharp drop in 2023.

Therefore, it's crucial to review a company's financial strength before deciding to buy shares. Ball has a cash-to-debt ratio of 0.09, ranking worse than 79.12% of 364 companies in the Packaging &amp; Containers industry. Based on this, GuruFocus ranks Ball's financial strength as 4 out of 10, suggesting a poor balance sheet.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://s1.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/b_RqumRy.gcjUaZQShpSFg--/cT03NTthcHBpZD15dmlkZW9mZWVkczs-/https://media.zenfs.com/en/us.finance.gurufocus/0ddf4350eb5a252acd6f888a69d5aaa9\" width=\"550\"/></p>\n<h3>Profitability and Growth</h3>\n<p>Investing in profitable companies, especially those with consistent profitability over the long term, is less risky. A company with high profit margins is usually a safer investment than those with low profit margins. Ball has been profitable 10 over the past 10 years. Over the past twelve months, the company had a revenue of $14.60 billion and an Earnings Per Share (EPS) of $2.52. Its operating margin is 8.64%, which ranks better than 69.4% of 366 companies in the Packaging &amp; Containers industry. Overall, the profitability of Ball is ranked 8 out of 10, indicating strong profitability.</p>\n<p>Growth is a critical factor in the valuation of a company. GuruFocus' research has found that growth is closely correlated with the long-term performance of a company's stock. If a company's business is growing, the company usually creates value for its shareholders, especially if the growth is profitable. Ball's 3-year average revenue growth rate is better than 74.15% of 352 companies in the Packaging &amp; Containers industry. Ball's 3-year average EBITDA growth rate is 7.4%, which ranks better than 52.55% of 333 companies in the Packaging &amp; Containers industry.</p>\n<p>Another method of determining the profitability of a company is to compare its return on invested capital to the weighted average cost of capital. Return on invested capital (ROIC) measures how well a company generates cash flow relative to the capital it has invested in its business. The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the rate that a company is expected to pay on average to all its security holders to finance its assets. When the ROIC is higher than the WACC, it implies the company is creating value for shareholders. For the past 12 months, Ball's return on invested capital is 6.42, and its cost of capital is 7.99.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/9J3oZeNnczG0.2ekuvQXSg--/cT03NTthcHBpZD15dmlkZW9mZWVkczs-/https://media.zenfs.com/en/us.finance.gurufocus/02dc715a3bcc0f8ab4c1603b5aa43c03\" width=\"550\"/></p>\n<h3>Conclusion</h3>\n<p>In conclusion, Ball Corp (NYSE:BALL) is estimated to be significantly undervalued.

For more stocks on this list, head on over to <strong>5 Best Forever Stocks to Buy Now.</strong></p>\n<p>The macroeconomic landscape in the United States, which has been a focal point in headlines and the stock market for over two years, is undergoing a rapid transformation. Just a year ago, investors' primary concerns revolved around interest rates and heightened inflation. However, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent commodity shock, along with pandemic-induced stimulatory spending, compelled the Federal Reserve to swiftly increase interest rates. As the market enters the second half of 2023, the Federal Reserve's decisive approach to interest rate hikes is finally bringing about some clarity regarding an economic cooldown.</p>\n<p>Earlier this June, Fed officials made predictions indicating their intention to raise interest rates twice more within the year, assuming these adjustments would be made in quarter-point increments. However, that does not mean that the Fed must hurt the labor market to achieve policymakers’ goals. In fact, Fed Chair Powell has acknowledged that wages are not necessarily the primary factor driving current inflation. He has noted that wages and inflation often exhibit a correlated relationship, but determining which one is causing the other is challenging to determine.</p>\n<p>As the July 7 payrolls report approached, traders were preparing for a potentially impactful event. Surprisingly robust data released by the ADP Research Institute a day prior had convinced the market that job growth in the US was still \"too strong\" from the perspective of central bankers cautious about inflation. According to the report, US employers added 209,000 jobs in June, falling short of Wall Street expectations. This led to concerns that the Federal Reserve might implement tighter monetary policy. However, the outcome presented a more nuanced view of the labor market, indicating a moderate slowdown that aligns with the Fed's objectives, albeit at a slower pace than anticipated by some. Investors widely expect the Fed to raise interest rates at their July meeting, and the strength of the labor market could help to shape the outlook after that.</p>\n<p>These are all developments affecting the market in the short-term. If you are a long-term investor who is looking for forever stocks to buy as we do in our monthly newsletter, you hope that the stock market declines by at least 20% to buy your favorite stocks at a discount. At the end of September 2022, the market provided such an opportunity. We don't think we are going to get another opportunity in the near future and this may be relatively the best time to buy.</p>\n<p>As the market closed the first half of this year with a positive boost from a reassuring inflation report, the notion of acquiring the best \"forever stocks\" might appear overly cautious. With market sentiment strong and supported by seemingly justifiable factors, investors may lean towards riskier securities with higher potential returns. However, it's important to acknowledge that long-term stock investments hold their own value and significance. With these details in mind, let’s take a look at some potential forever stocks, out of which the top picks include the likes of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a> Inc. (NYSE:V), Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA), and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), among others listed below.</p>\n<p><img height=\"663\" src=\"https://s1.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/5G7K7u1Wcdbg8M33CD9xgw--/cT03NTthcHBpZD15dmlkZW9mZWVkczs-/https://media.zenfs.com/en/insidermonkey.com/8a5794c0b09b4574e4cd4fe95b133afe\" width=\"603\"/></p>\n<p><em><strong>Our Methodology</strong></em></p>\n<p>\"Our favorite holding period is forever.\" When it comes to long-term investments, who better to imitate than Wall Street's legendary value investor, Warren Buffett. In order to compile our selection of the best forever stocks, we began by analyzing Buffett's stock portfolio and chose to highlight the stock holdings that have remained within his portfolio for at least 5 years. Next, we assessed the number of hedge fund investors associated with each stock based on Insider Monkey’s survey of 943 funds during the first quarter of this year. Using this information, the stocks were ranked.</p>\n<p>To be clear the following 13 stocks are the best forever stocks to buy according to billionaire investor and secret hedge fund manager Warren Buffett. We have our own list of favorite forever stocks that we share in our premium newsletter. You should do your own research and decide any of the following stocks fit your definition of forever stocks:</p>\n<h3>13. DaVita Inc. (NYSE:DVA)</h3>\n<p><em><strong>Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 32</strong></em></p>\n<p>Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, DaVita Inc. (NYSE:DVA) is a prominent healthcare company specializing in kidney care services. With a significant presence, it ranks among the largest providers of dialysis services in the United States. The company's primary focus lies in treating individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and chronic kidney failure.</p>\n<p>Lisa Bedell Clive at Bernstein issued an update on May 15, raising the price target on DaVita Inc. (NYSE: DVA) from $88 to $100. This adjustment came in response to the company's improved 2023 guidance, which was announced on May 9.</p>\n<p>After digging through 943 hedge funds for their March quarter of 2023 investments, Insider Monkey discovered that 32 had bought DaVita Inc. (NYSE:DVA)’s shares. The firm’s second largest investor after Warren Buffett is Jeffrey Gates’ Gates Capital Management, owning one million shares that are worth $84 million.</p>\n<p>Here is what Moon Capital Management said about DaVita Inc. (NYSE:DVA) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>“During the fourth quarter, we purchased shares in <strong>DaVita Inc.</strong> (NYSE:DVA), a dialysis center operator. For those unfamiliar, kidney dialysis involves the critical removal of toxins, fluids and salts from the blood by artificial means. Roughly 500,000 patients receive kidney dialysis in the U.S., which requires a 3.5-hour treatment three times a week. The only alternatives to the treatments are a kidney transplant or potential fatality. Given the critical nature of its services, demand has little correlation with the overall economy, resulting in a highly recession resistant business.</p>\n<p>The U.S. dialysis industry is highly concentrated, with two companies (DaVita and its competitor Fresenius) controlling a combined 80% of the $25 billion market. The dominance of this duopoly provides massive scale advantages, making it incredibly difficult for new entrants to gain profitable market share.</p>\n<p>In the past, DaVita’s valuation has been penalized (we view unfairly) because the company generates a significant portion of its operating income from a small percentage of its patients. Of DaVita’s 200,000 patients, approximately 90% qualify for Medicare (or Medicaid), with the remaining 10% covered by a commercial insurance provider. While commercial insurers pay an average of $1,000 per treatment, the federal government’s pay rate for Medicare and Medicaid is only $275 – which is actually less than what it costs DVA to provide the treatment…”(<strong>Click here to read the full text</strong>)</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>DaVita Inc. (NYSE:DVA) ranks among the likes of Visa Inc. (NYSE:V), Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA), and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) as a decent stock for long-term investments.</p>\n<h3>12. The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ:KHC)</h3>\n<p><em><strong>Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 34</strong></em></p>\n<p>The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ:KHC), commonly known as Kraft Heinz, is an American multinational food company formed by the merger of Kraft Foods and H.J. Heinz Company co-headquartered in Chicago and Pittsburgh. The company is involved in making and selling a wide variety of products, including cheese, meals, meats, dairy products, spices, coffee, and others.</p>\n<p>The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ:KHC) released its Q1 financial results on May 3, revealing a non-GAAP EPS of $0.68 and revenue of $6.49 billion. These figures exceeded Wall Street estimates by $0.08 and $100 million, respectively. Additionally, the company anticipates a 4% to 6% growth in organic net sales for 2023, as compared to the previous year.</p>\n<p>Out of the 943 hedge funds included in Insider Monkey's Q1 2023 database, 34 of them held a stake in The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ:KHC). First Eagle Investment Management, managed by Jean-Marie Eveillard, emerged as the largest hedge fund investor, with a stake worth $256 million, equivalent to 6.6 million shares. However, the largest overall investor in Kraft Heinz is Warren Buffett, with a massive investment of $12 billion.</p>\n<h3>11. VeriSign, Inc.

(NYSE:KR), or simply Kroger, is an American retail company that operates supermarkets and multi-department stores throughout the United States. With more than 2,700 supermarkets and multi-department stores spread across 35 states in the United States, The Kroger Co.

(NYSE:KR) to $48 from $51 and kept a Neutral rating on the shares. According to the analysts', sentiment on Kroger remains mixed despite a \"strong\" performance in Q1 as its FY23 outlook remains uncertain. The firm also states that the tone will likely remain mixed until the market gains more confidence in Kroger's intermediate-term outlook and that this will likely leave the stock range-bound for \"the foreseeable future.\"</p>\n<p>Insider Monkey took a look at 943 hedge funds for their first quarter of 2023 investments and found out that 43 had owned The Kroger Co.

(NYSE:KR) in its Q1 2023 investor letter:</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>“Although the grocery industry is highly competitive, Kroger’s scale advantages allow it to offer a more compelling value proposition than smaller peers and earn higher returns on capital. In recent years, the market has assigned Kroger a lower multiple due to concerns that e-commerce would disrupt traditional brick-and mortar grocery businesses. However, we believe Kroger’s performance through the pandemic highlighted that its store footprint, distribution infrastructure, technology investments and strong brand all position the company well for a world with higher online grocery adoption.”</p>\n</blockquote>\n<h3>9. Moody’s Corporation (NYSE:MCO)</h3>\n<p><em><strong>Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 51</strong></em></p>\n<p>Moody's Corporation (NYSE: MCO), commonly known as Moody's, is an American business and financial services company. It serves as the parent company for Moody's Investors Service (MIS), an American credit rating agency, and Moody's Analytics (MA), a provider of financial analysis software and services based in the United States.</p>\n<p>Jeffrey Silber, an analyst at BMO Capital, restated an Outperform rating for Moody's Corporation (NYSE: MCO) stock on May 17, while increasing the target price from $355 to $360.

The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO)</h3>\n<p><em><strong>Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 61</strong></em></p>\n<p>Established in 1892, The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) is a prominent American multinational corporation renowned for its production of the iconic Coca-Cola beverage. In addition to its flagship product, the company is involved in the manufacturing, sales, and marketing of a diverse array of non-alcoholic beverage concentrates, syrups, and even some alcoholic beverages within the beverage industry. As one of the largest beverage corporations globally, The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) holds a significant position among the long-term investments of renowned value investor Warren Buffett. Buffett, who has maintained a stake in the company since 2010, has famously expressed his unwavering commitment to retain his shares in the company.</p>\n<p>On June 6, HSBC analyst Carlos Laboy lowered the price target on The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) to $74 from $77 and maintained a Buy rating on the shares. The analyst views Coca-Cola as a much better defensive stock in inflationary times than in the past. However, his near term concern for beverage giant remains the ongoing tax litigation, which it says could cost the company up to 14 billion in payments to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).</p>\n<p>According to Insider Monkey’s first quarter database, 61 hedge funds were bullish on The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO), compared to 58 funds in the preceding quarter. Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway is the biggest stakeholder of the company, with 400 million shares worth $24.8 billion.</p>\n<p>Rowan Street Capital mentioned The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) in its Q4 2022 investor letter. Here is what the firm has to say:</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>“Let’s take The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) for example. Its dividend yield is 2.8%, earnings are estimated to grow at only 3.6% rate per year over next 4 years, and its earnings multiple is currently at 24x (based on next year’s forecasted earnings). KO has an anemic growth, so we can argue that paying 24x earnings is not very attractive. Let’s assume that the multiple will stay constant over the next 3-5 years, thus our expected annual returns will be 2.8%+3.6% = 6.4% (that is below the current reported inflation rate and only slightly above the risk-free rate of 4%).”</p>\n</blockquote>\n<h3>7. General Motors Company (NYSE:GM)</h3>\n<p><em><strong>Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 73</strong></em></p>\n<p>General Motors, formally the General Motors Company (NYSE:GM), is an American multinational automotive manufacturing company headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, United States.</p>\n<p>During the initial quarter of 2023, the company experienced an impressive 11.1% growth in revenue compared to the previous year, reaching nearly $40 billion.

Additionally, the analyst increased the price target on the stock from $35 to $38. Recognizing General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) as one of the leading companies in the auto sector, Jones included it in his list of the \"top 5\" automotive companies.</p>\n<p>According to Insider Monkey’s Q1 2023 database, 73 hedge funds disclosed long positions in General Motors Company (NYSE:GM), worth roughly $4 billion. Of these, investment firm Harris Associates holds a significant position as a shareholder.</p>\n<h3>6. <span>The Procter &amp; Gamble Company</span> <span>(NYSE:PG)</span></h3>\n<p><em><strong>Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 75</strong></em></p>\n<p>The Procter &amp; Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) is an American multinational consumer goods corporation headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, founded in 1837 by William Procter and James Gamble. The company provides branded consumer packaged goods worldwide, operating through Beauty, Grooming, Health Care, Fabric &amp; Home Care, and Baby, Feminine &amp; Family Care segments.</p>\n<p>On April 11, the company announced a quarterly dividend of $0.9407 per share, marking a 3% increase. With this raise, the company extended its impressive streak of dividend growth to 67 years, solidifying its position as not only one of the top dividend aristocrat stocks on our list, but also one of the best forever stock.</p>\n<p>According to Insider Monkey’s first quarter database, 75 hedge funds were bullish on The Procter &amp; Gamble Company (NYSE:PG), compared to 74 funds in the preceding quarter. Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater Associates is the largest stakeholder of the company, with 4.94 million shares valued at $735.2 million.</p>\n<p>Rowan Street Capital made the following comment about The Procter &amp; Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>“Let’s look at The Procter &amp; Gamble Company (NYSE:PG). Dividend yield is 2.4%. Earnings are forecasted to grow at 5.9%, and its current earnings multiple is at 25x. Now, let’s say over the next 3-5 years the market loses interest in the “safe”, mature companies that grow at anemic rates and gets an appetite for growth again. It’s very unlikely that Mr. Market will be paying 25x for 5.9% earnings growth. Let’s assume that multiple declines to the market average of 18x — that would be ~6.9% drag per year on the total expected return over next 3-5 years. If we get 2.4% (dividend) + 5.9% (earnings growth) – 6.9% (decrease in earnings multiple) = 1.4% (annual return we can expect on average from this stock).”</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Much like Visa Inc. (NYSE:V), Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA), and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), The Procter &amp; Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) is a top 'forever' stock finding favor with hedge funds.</p>\n<p><strong>Click to continue reading and see the 5 Best Forever Stocks to Buy Now. </strong></p>\n<p>Suggested Articles:</p>\n<ul>\n<li> 17 Biggest Finance Companies in the World</li>\n<li><span> </span>16 Most Profitable Value Stocks Now</li>\n<li>Long-Term Stock Portfolio: Best Stocks for 20 Years</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Disclosure: None. <strong>13 Best Forever Stocks to Buy Now</strong> is posted on Insider Monkey.</p></body></html>","source":"yahoofinance","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>13 Best Forever Stocks to Buy Now</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\">\n13 Best Forever Stocks to Buy Now\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-07-12 01:33 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/13-best-forever-stocks-buy-173337887.html><strong>Insider Monkey</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>In this piece, we will take a look at the best forever stocks to buy now.

For more stocks on this list, head on over to 5 Best Forever Stocks to Buy Now.\nThe macroeconomic landscape in the United States, which has been a focal point in headlines and the stock market for over two years, is undergoing a rapid transformation. Just a year ago, investors' primary concerns revolved around interest rates and heightened inflation. However, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent commodity shock, along with pandemic-induced stimulatory spending, compelled the Federal Reserve to swiftly increase interest rates. As the market enters the second half of 2023, the Federal Reserve's decisive approach to interest rate hikes is finally bringing about some clarity regarding an economic cooldown.\nEarlier this June, Fed officials made predictions indicating their intention to raise interest rates twice more within the year, assuming these adjustments would be made in quarter-point increments. However, that does not mean that the Fed must hurt the labor market to achieve policymakers’ goals. In fact, Fed Chair Powell has acknowledged that wages are not necessarily the primary factor driving current inflation. He has noted that wages and inflation often exhibit a correlated relationship, but determining which one is causing the other is challenging to determine.\nAs the July 7 payrolls report approached, traders were preparing for a potentially impactful event. Surprisingly robust data released by the ADP Research Institute a day prior had convinced the market that job growth in the US was still \"too strong\" from the perspective of central bankers cautious about inflation. According to the report, US employers added 209,000 jobs in June, falling short of Wall Street expectations. This led to concerns that the Federal Reserve might implement tighter monetary policy. However, the outcome presented a more nuanced view of the labor market, indicating a moderate slowdown that aligns with the Fed's objectives, albeit at a slower pace than anticipated by some. Investors widely expect the Fed to raise interest rates at their July meeting, and the strength of the labor market could help to shape the outlook after that.\nThese are all developments affecting the market in the short-term. If you are a long-term investor who is looking for forever stocks to buy as we do in our monthly newsletter, you hope that the stock market declines by at least 20% to buy your favorite stocks at a discount. At the end of September 2022, the market provided such an opportunity. We don't think we are going to get another opportunity in the near future and this may be relatively the best time to buy.\nAs the market closed the first half of this year with a positive boost from a reassuring inflation report, the notion of acquiring the best \"forever stocks\" might appear overly cautious. With market sentiment strong and supported by seemingly justifiable factors, investors may lean towards riskier securities with higher potential returns. However, it's important to acknowledge that long-term stock investments hold their own value and significance. With these details in mind, let’s take a look at some potential forever stocks, out of which the top picks include the likes of Visa Inc. (NYSE:V), Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA), and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), among others listed below.\n\nOur Methodology\n\"Our favorite holding period is forever.\" When it comes to long-term investments, who better to imitate than Wall Street's legendary value investor, Warren Buffett. In order to compile our selection of the best forever stocks, we began by analyzing Buffett's stock portfolio and chose to highlight the stock holdings that have remained within his portfolio for at least 5 years. Next, we assessed the number of hedge fund investors associated with each stock based on Insider Monkey’s survey of 943 funds during the first quarter of this year. Using this information, the stocks were ranked.\nTo be clear the following 13 stocks are the best forever stocks to buy according to billionaire investor and secret hedge fund manager Warren Buffett. We have our own list of favorite forever stocks that we share in our premium newsletter. You should do your own research and decide any of the following stocks fit your definition of forever stocks:\n13. DaVita Inc. (NYSE:DVA)\nNumber of Hedge Fund Holders: 32\nHeadquartered in Denver, Colorado, DaVita Inc. (NYSE:DVA) is a prominent healthcare company specializing in kidney care services. With a significant presence, it ranks among the largest providers of dialysis services in the United States. The company's primary focus lies in treating individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and chronic kidney failure.\nLisa Bedell Clive at Bernstein issued an update on May 15, raising the price target on DaVita Inc. (NYSE: DVA) from $88 to $100. This adjustment came in response to the company's improved 2023 guidance, which was announced on May 9.\nAfter digging through 943 hedge funds for their March quarter of 2023 investments, Insider Monkey discovered that 32 had bought DaVita Inc. (NYSE:DVA)’s shares. The firm’s second largest investor after Warren Buffett is Jeffrey Gates’ Gates Capital Management, owning one million shares that are worth $84 million.\nHere is what Moon Capital Management said about DaVita Inc. (NYSE:DVA) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:\n\n“During the fourth quarter, we purchased shares in DaVita Inc. (NYSE:DVA), a dialysis center operator. For those unfamiliar, kidney dialysis involves the critical removal of toxins, fluids and salts from the blood by artificial means. Roughly 500,000 patients receive kidney dialysis in the U.S., which requires a 3.5-hour treatment three times a week. The only alternatives to the treatments are a kidney transplant or potential fatality. Given the critical nature of its services, demand has little correlation with the overall economy, resulting in a highly recession resistant business.\nThe U.S. dialysis industry is highly concentrated, with two companies (DaVita and its competitor Fresenius) controlling a combined 80% of the $25 billion market. The dominance of this duopoly provides massive scale advantages, making it incredibly difficult for new entrants to gain profitable market share.\nIn the past, DaVita’s valuation has been penalized (we view unfairly) because the company generates a significant portion of its operating income from a small percentage of its patients. Of DaVita’s 200,000 patients, approximately 90% qualify for Medicare (or Medicaid), with the remaining 10% covered by a commercial insurance provider. While commercial insurers pay an average of $1,000 per treatment, the federal government’s pay rate for Medicare and Medicaid is only $275 – which is actually less than what it costs DVA to provide the treatment…”(Click here to read the full text)\n\nDaVita Inc. (NYSE:DVA) ranks among the likes of Visa Inc. (NYSE:V), Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA), and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) as a decent stock for long-term investments.\n12. The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ:KHC)\nNumber of Hedge Fund Holders: 34\nThe Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ:KHC), commonly known as Kraft Heinz, is an American multinational food company formed by the merger of Kraft Foods and H.J. Heinz Company co-headquartered in Chicago and Pittsburgh.

These figures exceeded Wall Street estimates by $0.08 and $100 million, respectively. Additionally, the company anticipates a 4% to 6% growth in organic net sales for 2023, as compared to the previous year.\nOut of the 943 hedge funds included in Insider Monkey's Q1 2023 database, 34 of them held a stake in The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ:KHC). First Eagle Investment Management, managed by Jean-Marie Eveillard, emerged as the largest hedge fund investor, with a stake worth $256 million, equivalent to 6.6 million shares. However, the largest overall investor in Kraft Heinz is Warren Buffett, with a massive investment of $12 billion.\n11. VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRSN)\nNumber of Hedge Fund Holders: 37\nVerisign Inc. (NASDAQ:VRSN) is an American company based in Reston, Virginia, United States, that operates a diverse array of network infrastructure that allows firms to maintain their servers, access domain names, and run security applications. The company ended the first quarter of 2023 with 174.8 million domains in the .com/.net base, which was 1 million more than it ended in the same quarter a year ago.\nBy the end of this year’s first quarter, 37 of the 943 hedge funds part of Insider Monkey’s database had held a stake in the company. Following Warren Buffett, Jim Simons’ Renaissance Technologies is VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRSN)'s largest shareholder, which owns 3.1 million shares that are worth $672 million.\n10. The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR)\nNumber of Hedge Fund Holders: 43\nThe Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR), or simply Kroger, is an American retail company that operates supermarkets and multi-department stores throughout the United States. With more than 2,700 supermarkets and multi-department stores spread across 35 states in the United States, The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR) ranks as one of the largest food retailers in the world.\nEarlier this June, UBS lowered the price target on The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR) to $48 from $51 and kept a Neutral rating on the shares. According to the analysts', sentiment on Kroger remains mixed despite a \"strong\" performance in Q1 as its FY23 outlook remains uncertain. The firm also states that the tone will likely remain mixed until the market gains more confidence in Kroger's intermediate-term outlook and that this will likely leave the stock range-bound for \"the foreseeable future.\"\nInsider Monkey took a look at 943 hedge funds for their first quarter of 2023 investments and found out that 43 had owned The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR)’s shares. Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway owns a $2.5 billion stake in the company.\nOakmark Funds, advised by Harris Associates, made the following comment about The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR) in its Q1 2023 investor letter:\n\n“Although the grocery industry is highly competitive, Kroger’s scale advantages allow it to offer a more compelling value proposition than smaller peers and earn higher returns on capital. In recent years, the market has assigned Kroger a lower multiple due to concerns that e-commerce would disrupt traditional brick-and mortar grocery businesses. However, we believe Kroger’s performance through the pandemic highlighted that its store footprint, distribution infrastructure, technology investments and strong brand all position the company well for a world with higher online grocery adoption.”\n\n9. Moody’s Corporation (NYSE:MCO)\nNumber of Hedge Fund Holders: 51\nMoody's Corporation (NYSE: MCO), commonly known as Moody's, is an American business and financial services company.

Buffett, who has maintained a stake in the company since 2010, has famously expressed his unwavering commitment to retain his shares in the company.\nOn June 6, HSBC analyst Carlos Laboy lowered the price target on The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) to $74 from $77 and maintained a Buy rating on the shares. The analyst views Coca-Cola as a much better defensive stock in inflationary times than in the past. However, his near term concern for beverage giant remains the ongoing tax litigation, which it says could cost the company up to 14 billion in payments to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).\nAccording to Insider Monkey’s first quarter database, 61 hedge funds were bullish on The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO), compared to 58 funds in the preceding quarter. Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway is the biggest stakeholder of the company, with 400 million shares worth $24.8 billion.\nRowan Street Capital mentioned The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) in its Q4 2022 investor letter. Here is what the firm has to say:\n\n“Let’s take The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) for example. Its dividend yield is 2.8%, earnings are estimated to grow at only 3.6% rate per year over next 4 years, and its earnings multiple is currently at 24x (based on next year’s forecasted earnings). KO has an anemic growth, so we can argue that paying 24x earnings is not very attractive. Let’s assume that the multiple will stay constant over the next 3-5 years, thus our expected annual returns will be 2.8%+3.6% = 6.4% (that is below the current reported inflation rate and only slightly above the risk-free rate of 4%).”\n\n7. General Motors Company (NYSE:GM)\nNumber of Hedge Fund Holders: 73\nGeneral Motors, formally the General Motors Company (NYSE:GM), is an American multinational automotive manufacturing company headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, United States.\nDuring the initial quarter of 2023, the company experienced an impressive 11.1% growth in revenue compared to the previous year, reaching nearly $40 billion. Additionally, the automotive operating cash flow for the quarter rose to $2.3 billion, showcasing a significant increase from $1.6 billion in the same period of the previous year.\nAdam Jonas, an analyst at Morgan Stanley, raised General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) from an Equal Weight rating to an Overweight rating on May 1. Additionally, the analyst increased the price target on the stock from $35 to $38. Recognizing General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) as one of the leading companies in the auto sector, Jones included it in his list of the \"top 5\" automotive companies.\nAccording to Insider Monkey’s Q1 2023 database, 73 hedge funds disclosed long positions in General Motors Company (NYSE:GM), worth roughly $4 billion. Of these, investment firm Harris Associates holds a significant position as a shareholder.\n6. The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG)\nNumber of Hedge Fund Holders: 75\nThe Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) is an American multinational consumer goods corporation headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, founded in 1837 by William Procter and James Gamble. The company provides branded consumer packaged goods worldwide, operating through Beauty, Grooming, Health Care, Fabric & Home Care, and Baby, Feminine & Family Care segments.\nOn April 11, the company announced a quarterly dividend of $0.9407 per share, marking a 3% increase. With this raise, the company extended its impressive streak of dividend growth to 67 years, solidifying its position as not only one of the top dividend aristocrat stocks on our list, but also one of the best forever stock.\nAccording to Insider Monkey’s first quarter database, 75 hedge funds were bullish on The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG), compared to 74 funds in the preceding quarter. Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater Associates is the largest stakeholder of the company, with 4.94 million shares valued at $735.2 million.\nRowan Street Capital made the following comment about The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:\n\n“Let’s look at The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG). Dividend yield is 2.4%. Earnings are forecasted to grow at 5.9%, and its current earnings multiple is at 25x. Now, let’s say over the next 3-5 years the market loses interest in the “safe”, mature companies that grow at anemic rates and gets an appetite for growth again. It’s very unlikely that Mr. Market will be paying 25x for 5.9% earnings growth. Let’s assume that multiple declines to the market average of 18x — that would be ~6.9% drag per year on the total expected return over next 3-5 years. If we get 2.4% (dividend) + 5.9% (earnings growth) – 6.9% (decrease in earnings multiple) = 1.4% (annual return we can expect on average from this stock).”\n\nMuch like Visa Inc. (NYSE:V), Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA), and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) is a top 'forever' stock finding favor with hedge funds.\nClick to continue reading and see the 5 Best Forever Stocks to Buy Now. \nSuggested Articles:\n\n 17 Biggest Finance Companies in the World\n 16 Most Profitable Value Stocks Now\nLong-Term Stock Portfolio: Best Stocks for 20 Years\n\nDisclosure: None. 13 Best Forever Stocks to Buy Now is posted on Insider Monkey.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":311,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":195657437368560,"gmtCreate":1688805297457,"gmtModify":1688805302419,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579899712012688","authorIdStr":"3579899712012688"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"This is a game charger n game leader of EV cars!

The urge to react has been intense. Doing so has mostly been a mistake.</p><p>It’s still early, and things can get fluid when financial stress is afoot. But amid warnings of a banking crisis, a credit-fomented recession, pivoting central banks and stagflation, the best strategy so far — particularly in stocks — has been to sit still.</p><p>The S&amp;P 500 just capped its second straight up week, and while Treasuries have dealt body blows to short sellers, holding on through the worst volatility in four decades would’ve reaped sizable profits.</p><p>Closing your ears to cacophony is standard investment advice that is often borne out. “Panicking never pays,” says April LaRusse, head of investment specialists at Insight Investments. “The smartest thing to do when you have a lot of uncertainty is to sit back and gather information and do your analysis and not jump trying to make big changes.”</p><p>Heeding it now requires near-heroic composure. In a span of weeks, the dominant market theme has shifted from a “no landing” scenario where growth persists at the same time central banks push restrictive policy for longer, to everything from banking chaos to a recession to some type of Fed-fueled renaissance in technology shares.</p><p>“There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen,” Marko Kolanovic, chief global markets strategist at JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co., wrote in a note.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a7ffbf306dc4a8dfc083f42a0055371d\" tg-width=\"930\" tg-height=\"523\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>For now, bulls are enjoying the equity resilience, emboldened by hopes that the Federal Reserve will soon pause its aggressive inflation-fighting campaign and regulators including Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen can contain any financial fallout. The S&amp;P 500 added 1.4% over five days, almost erasing its entire loss from the day before the plunge in regional banks two weeks ago. The Nasdaq 100 climbed for a third week in four, sitting about 5% above its pre-crisis level.</p><p>Bears are quick to note: the same thing happened in 2008, when the Lehman Brothers collapse incited extreme turbulence, but stock benchmarks still managed to end the ensuing week virtually flat. At present, stocks remain closer to their lows than their highs of last year, when a 25% plunge in the S&amp;P 500 sent a clear recessionary signal — a lot of pain is priced in. But that was true when the worst leg of the last crisis kicked in as well.</p><p>To be sure, no one, including policymakers at the Fed, has a firm view on the impact from the banking turmoil. While almost everyone including Fed Chair Jerome Powell expects the crisis to contribute to a tightening of financial conditions, consensus is scant on the exact scope of damage. Among numerousattempts to quantitythe impact of lending turmoil on monetary policy, estimates range from 50 basis points to 150 basis points in the equivalent of rate hikes.</p><p>It’s the same when trying to gauge the effect on standard economic indicators. At Citigroup Inc., strategists suggest the banking crisis is already curbing consumer demand, citing the firm’s data on credit card spending. By contrast, card users at JPMorgan and Bank of America Corp. have stayed buoyant, separate reports from their economists show.</p><p>“The Fed has raised the temperature, the water is starting to boil, and we’re starting to see some frogs start to die,” said George Cipolloni, portfolio manager at Penn Mutual Asset Management. “As long as the Fed keeps that temperature at a certain level, there is the potential for more bank failures in this cycle. And that’s one of the reasons why Yellen and some other people are responding the way they are in terms of guaranteeing deposits.”</p><p>While split opinions are a constant feature in investing, the extent of the divergence has rarely been this broad. In the equity market, the gap between the highest and lowest year-end target for the S&amp;P 500 is 47%, the widest at this time of year in two decades, data compiled by Bloomberg show.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec94e1d853c76d9eb6b5a6300424544c\" tg-width=\"930\" tg-height=\"523\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Conflict is also on display in fixed income. Even as Powell insisted Wednesday that rate cuts are not his “base case,” bond traders stuck to bets that the central bank will reverse course this year.Swap rateslinked to policy meeting dates now show cuts totaling about one percentage point by year-end.</p><p>Ever-changing views of the economy and Fed have underpinned an almost unprecedented stretch of turbulence in government bonds. For an 11th session through Thursday, two-year Treasury yields moved more than 10 basis points, a run of wild swings not seen since 1981. Among these sessions, seven were up and four down, exerting pain for bulls and bears alike.</p><p><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7a2961af4bdc042cbca907c5eaac1423\" tg-width=\"930\" tg-height=\"523\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Amid all the confusion and volatility, the Nasdaq 100 has stood out as one of the best-performing assets this year, thanks to the dominance of cash-rich tech megacaps.

The urge to react has been intense. Doing so has mostly been a mistake.It’s still early, and things can get fluid when financial stress is afoot. But amid warnings of a banking crisis, a credit-fomented recession, pivoting central banks and stagflation, the best strategy so far — particularly in stocks — has been to sit still.The S&P 500 just capped its second straight up week, and while Treasuries have dealt body blows to short sellers, holding on through the worst volatility in four decades would’ve reaped sizable profits.Closing your ears to cacophony is standard investment advice that is often borne out. “Panicking never pays,” says April LaRusse, head of investment specialists at Insight Investments. “The smartest thing to do when you have a lot of uncertainty is to sit back and gather information and do your analysis and not jump trying to make big changes.”Heeding it now requires near-heroic composure. In a span of weeks, the dominant market theme has shifted from a “no landing” scenario where growth persists at the same time central banks push restrictive policy for longer, to everything from banking chaos to a recession to some type of Fed-fueled renaissance in technology shares.“There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen,” Marko Kolanovic, chief global markets strategist at JPMorgan Chase & Co., wrote in a note.For now, bulls are enjoying the equity resilience, emboldened by hopes that the Federal Reserve will soon pause its aggressive inflation-fighting campaign and regulators including Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen can contain any financial fallout. The S&P 500 added 1.4% over five days, almost erasing its entire loss from the day before the plunge in regional banks two weeks ago. The Nasdaq 100 climbed for a third week in four, sitting about 5% above its pre-crisis level.Bears are quick to note: the same thing happened in 2008, when the Lehman Brothers collapse incited extreme turbulence, but stock benchmarks still managed to end the ensuing week virtually flat. At present, stocks remain closer to their lows than their highs of last year, when a 25% plunge in the S&P 500 sent a clear recessionary signal — a lot of pain is priced in. But that was true when the worst leg of the last crisis kicked in as well.To be sure, no one, including policymakers at the Fed, has a firm view on the impact from the banking turmoil. While almost everyone including Fed Chair Jerome Powell expects the crisis to contribute to a tightening of financial conditions, consensus is scant on the exact scope of damage. Among numerousattempts to quantitythe impact of lending turmoil on monetary policy, estimates range from 50 basis points to 150 basis points in the equivalent of rate hikes.It’s the same when trying to gauge the effect on standard economic indicators. At Citigroup Inc., strategists suggest the banking crisis is already curbing consumer demand, citing the firm’s data on credit card spending. By contrast, card users at JPMorgan and Bank of America Corp. have stayed buoyant, separate reports from their economists show.“The Fed has raised the temperature, the water is starting to boil, and we’re starting to see some frogs start to die,” said George Cipolloni, portfolio manager at Penn Mutual Asset Management. “As long as the Fed keeps that temperature at a certain level, there is the potential for more bank failures in this cycle. And that’s one of the reasons why Yellen and some other people are responding the way they are in terms of guaranteeing deposits.”While split opinions are a constant feature in investing, the extent of the divergence has rarely been this broad. In the equity market, the gap between the highest and lowest year-end target for the S&P 500 is 47%, the widest at this time of year in two decades, data compiled by Bloomberg show.Conflict is also on display in fixed income. Even as Powell insisted Wednesday that rate cuts are not his “base case,” bond traders stuck to bets that the central bank will reverse course this year.Swap rateslinked to policy meeting dates now show cuts totaling about one percentage point by year-end.Ever-changing views of the economy and Fed have underpinned an almost unprecedented stretch of turbulence in government bonds. For an 11th session through Thursday, two-year Treasury yields moved more than 10 basis points, a run of wild swings not seen since 1981. Among these sessions, seven were up and four down, exerting pain for bulls and bears alike.Amid all the confusion and volatility, the Nasdaq 100 has stood out as one of the best-performing assets this year, thanks to the dominance of cash-rich tech megacaps. While the index is up almost 17%, getting there has been stomach-churning. Bad timing can be punishing: missing the best five days would have left investors with a gain of only 1%.To Que Nguyen, chief investment officer of equity strategies at Research Affiliates, investors had better prepare for a bumpy road ahead.“Most of the time when you have a debt or liquidity problem, it doesn’t go away in two weeks,” she said. “The markets are stable when things are over.

Its mission is to bring “buy now, pay later” technology to consumers. Buy now, pay later is intended to give consumers the ability to make purchases over a series of payments while avoiding the interest that would be incurred with a traditional credit card that wasn’t paid off promptly.</p><p>In practice, Affirm has struggled to make the model work.

Its operating loss was 84% higher than in the comparable quarter in 2021. This is a classic example of a company increasing losses as the business expanded, which is never a good sign. And with soaring interest rates and a weakening economy, Affirm could see rising credit losses going forward.</p><p>Affirm was already in trouble given its large operating losses and mounting macroeconomic concerns. But <strong>Apple</strong> (NASDAQ: <strong>AAPL</strong>) may have just put the final nail in Affirm’s coffin. In late March, Apple announced it is rolling out its own buy now, pay later service. Given Apple’s existing payments technology and tremendous brand, this is likely to siphon off a significant chunk of Affirm’s existing customer base.</p><p>Put Affirm on your list of stocks to avoid.</p><h2>Riot Platforms (RIOT)</h2><p><strong>Riot Platforms</strong> (NASDAQ: <strong><u>RIOT</u></strong>) is a company primarily focused on the mining of cryptocurrency such as <strong>Bitcoin</strong> (<strong><u>BTC-USD</u></strong>). Investors became enamored with these types of companies several years ago when cryptocurrency prices were soaring.</p><p>However, that has all changed. Several major cryptocurrencies collapsed. This, in turn, caused various investment firms related to crypto to shut down. Now the problems have spread to the banking sector, with banks that focused on cryptocurrency, such as <strong>Silvergate Bank</strong>, becoming insolvent. Additionally, regulators are cracking down on major remaining cryptocurrency exchanges.</p><p>All this to say that cryptocurrency has entered a deep freeze. That’s bad for the likes of Riot Platforms. Indeed, its cryptocurrency mining revenue slid 15% from $184.4 million in 2021 to $156.9 million in 2022. The company lost $509.6 million in 2022 thanks primarily to impairments related to overpriced acquisitions, falling values of mining equipment, and a decrease in the value of cryptocurrency held on the firm’s balance sheet.</p><p>Despite the company’s massive problems, RIOT stock has rallied sharply in recent weeks. This makes little sense. A market cap of $1.7 billion is far too rich for an unprofitable firm with modest revenue in a struggling industry.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Dangerous Stocks to Avoid at All Costs</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Dangerous Stocks to Avoid at All Costs\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-04-03 23:35 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2023/04/3-dangerous-stocks-to-avoid-at-all-costs/><strong>InvestorPlace</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>These stocks to avoid are dangerous at any price.Beyond Meat (BYND): The company never reached profitability and now sales are slumping.Affirm (AFRM): The buy now, pay later firm is facing large ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://investorplace.com/2023/04/3-dangerous-stocks-to-avoid-at-all-costs/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"RIOT":"Riot Platforms","BYND":"Beyond Meat, Inc.","AFRM":"Affirm Holdings, Inc."},"source_url":"https://investorplace.com/2023/04/3-dangerous-stocks-to-avoid-at-all-costs/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2324304105","content_text":"These stocks to avoid are dangerous at any price.Beyond Meat (BYND): The company never reached profitability and now sales are slumping.Affirm (AFRM): The buy now, pay later firm is facing large losses and new competition from Apple.Riot Platforms (RIOT): With the cryptocurrency ecosystem collapsing, it will be tough sledding for the miner.Investors are always looking for a good bargain.

A market cap of $1.7 billion is far too rich for an unprofitable firm with modest revenue in a struggling industry.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":17,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9943367363,"gmtCreate":1679152629253,"gmtModify":1679152633707,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579899712012688","authorIdStr":"3579899712012688"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"AI hardware n software makers will benefited a lots incoming yrs!","listText":"AI hardware n software makers will benefited a lots incoming yrs!","text":"AI hardware n software makers will benefited a lots incoming yrs!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":23,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9943367363","repostId":"2320037801","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":78,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9949599772,"gmtCreate":1678723406596,"gmtModify":1678723411562,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579899712012688","authorIdStr":"3579899712012688"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"The hungry bears are in the corner!","listText":"The hungry bears are in the corner!","text":"The hungry bears are in the corner!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":23,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9949599772","repostId":"1105902626","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1105902626","pubTimestamp":1678717774,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1105902626?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-13 22:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Traders Bet on No More Fed Hikes, US Two-Year Yields Plunge","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105902626","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Treasury bonds surged, pushing key two-year yields to their lowest level this year, as investors bet","content":"<html><head></head><body><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f42f232c243e48eeb8bdc98310770e21\" tg-width=\"800\" tg-height=\"533\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Treasury bonds surged, pushing key two-year yields to their lowest level this year, as investors bet the collapse of three US lenders will compel policymakers to halt interest-rate increases.</p><p>Swaps now show a less than one-in-two chance that the Federal Reserve will implement another quarter-point hike this cycle.

Now, with Apple stock trading very close to this level and the FY 2023 Q2 earnings expected for May 4th, I feel it is a good time to revisit the investment thesis for Apple.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">For reference, Apple stock has appreciated 32% YTD, as compared to a gain of only 8% for the S&amp;P 500 (SP500). Needless to say, this is quite an amazing outperformance for a &gt;$2.6 trillion dollar mega-cap business.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/234781ca3b6d7d8a9f5d9994002da0f2\" alt=\"AAPL vs SPY YTD price performance 2023\" title=\"AAPL vs SPY YTD price performance 2023\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"235\"/><span>AAPL vs SPY YTD price performance 2023</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">I view Apple&#39;s Q2 2023 earnings estimates as reasonable, given continued strength in the company&#39;s iPhone business. But, as a function of valuation--with AAPL stock&#39;s estimated 2023 P/E priced close x30--I am cautious to assign a &#39;Buy&#39; recommendation. Apple remains a &#39;Hold&#39; for me with a $164.85/share target price.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Apple&#39;s Q2 2023 Preview</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Based on data collected by Seeking Alpha, as of April 16th, a total of 33 analysts have provided their projections for Apple&#39;s Q2 FY 2023 results. These projections indicate that Apple&#39;s total sales for the quarter are expected to fall within the range of $89.8 billion to $98.9 billion, with an average estimate of $92.8. Based on the average analyst consensus estimate, it is suggested that Apple&#39;s Q2 2023 sales may contract by approximately 4.5% YoY as compared to the same quarter in FY 2022.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/76ec2771327ab134275cfede0651fff0\" alt=\"Apple Q2 FY 2023 revenue revisions/ estimates\" title=\"Apple Q2 FY 2023 revenue revisions/ estimates\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"216\"/><span>Apple Q2 FY 2023 revenue revisions/ estimates</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Furthermore, analysts have provided earnings per share estimates ranging from $1.35 to $1.56, with an average of $1.43. While the range of EPS estimates is quite wide, assuming the average of $1.43, analysts anticipate that Apple&#39;s Q2 FY 2023 earnings will contract by about 6.8% versus the Q2 FY 2022 period.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/42d7bf2fb0c1023b36e4615c3fc965ba\" alt=\"Apple Q2 FY 2023 EPS revisions/ estimates\" title=\"Apple Q2 FY 2023 EPS revisions/ estimates\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"216\"/><span>Apple Q2 FY 2023 EPS revisions/ estimates</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Reflecting on analysts&#39; estimates for Apple&#39;s Q2 FY 2023 quarter, it is worth noting that, both revenue and EPS estimates have started to trend downwards since early 2023, indicating a divergence of how analysts and markets view Apple&#39;s business fundamentals (AAPL stock up &gt;30% YTD).</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">A Review of Apple&#39;s Business Fundamentals</h2><h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Mac demand is crashing</h4><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Apple Inc.&#39;s personal computer shipments dropped by 40.5% in the first quarter, marking the worst decline since the end of 2000, due to sluggish demand and an industrywide glut, particularly in the consumer market. This decline is part of a broader trend in the PC market, with all PC makers experiencing a slump of 29% in shipments as the demand surge driven by pandemic-era remote work subsided. Apple, which had been relatively resilient during the pandemic, is preparing to launch new models later this year in hopes of spurring demand, while analysts predict a potential rebound for PC makers in 2024 due to aging hardware replacement and an improving global economy.</p><h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">The iPhone Is Still King</h4><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Investors should consider that the iPhone accounts for about 52% of Apple&#39;s total sales, and an even larger share of profits. And a weak demand for the Mac is thus less concerning, accounting for only about 10% of Apple&#39;s total sales.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01ceb98c4ba14ae97ccd79007cd2862c\" alt=\"Apple revenue exposure\" title=\"Apple revenue exposure\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"375\"/><span>Apple revenue exposure</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Apple FY 2022 reporting, Author&#39;s graph</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The good news is that the demand for iPhones remains healthy, despite a challenging macroeconomic backdrop.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Notably, analysts from UBS (UBS Evidence Lab proprietary research) conducted a comprehensive survey of approximately 4,000 iPhone users in four different regions across the world to gain insights into the installed base and adoption of various Apple services.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The survey revealed that as of March 2023 the iPhone retention rate in the United States has increased to 83%, as compared to 81% in 2022 (a notable increase of 200 basis points), and as compared to about 76% pre-COVID. In China, the iPhone retention rate has also rise, to 44%, versus approximately 29% two years ago.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Moreover, the survey highlights that approximately 45% of all iPhone users own devices below the iPhone 12 generation, and about 20% own devices below the iPhone 11 generation, suggesting the likelihood of a strong upgrade cycle within the next 12-24 months.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">UBS now forecasts that the global installed base for the iPhone will grow to about 1,4 billion units by 2025, and 1,5 billion units by 2027.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e75575a411522500ccd4424fcb699c23\" alt=\"UBS Evidence Lab - Survey for the Iphone\" title=\"UBS Evidence Lab - Survey for the Iphone\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"265\"/><span>UBS Evidence Lab - Survey for the Iphone</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>UBS Evidence Lab</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Also Piper Sandler conducted a survey (teens) that confirmed that confirmed UBS&#39; findings that iPhone ownership is at near all time levels, with continued strong purchase intention going forward. Piper Sandler&#39;s equity research team surveyed a total of 5,690 teenagers across 47 states in the U.S, with an average household income slightly below $67,691 (less than national average of close to $70,000) and an average age of 16.2 years. According to Piper research, an impressive 87% of U.S. teenagers own an iPhone, and over 25% of these teenagers show intention to upgrade their current iPhone to a iPhone 14 during the Spring/Summer period.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01324121f34fb591424a4bc492eb8dbe\" alt=\"Piper Sandler Spring Survey - Teens, IPhone\" title=\"Piper Sandler Spring Survey - Teens, IPhone\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"330\"/><span>Piper Sandler Spring Survey - Teens, IPhone</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Piper Sandler Spring Survey</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">The Services Ecosystem Continues To Grow</h4><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The revenue share of Apple&#39;s services ecosystem now accounts for approximately 20% of the company&#39;s total topline. Again referencing UBS&#39; iPhone survey, the adoption of Apple Services shows incremental improvement. Apple&#39;s major offerings such as Apple Music and iCloud continue to exhibit the highest attachment and growth rates, while the respective rates for Arcade, News+, TV+, and Fitness appear to plateaued at levels lower levels.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/19b750eed34af76e40f29e27d900f96e\" alt=\"UBS Evidence Lab - Survey for the Iphone\" title=\"UBS Evidence Lab - Survey for the Iphone\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"470\"/><span>UBS Evidence Lab - Survey for the Iphone</span></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>UBS Evidence Lab</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Broadly speaking, as long as the iPhone is doing well, Apple&#39;s services ecosystem is also likely to do well, given the integrated nature of hardware plus services. The UBS survey appears to confirm the thesis: approximately 60% of respondents highlighted that they would see it as very inconvenient to leave Apple&#39;s services ecosystem, even if they would like to switch to another smartphone.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Apple Pushes To Diversify Manufacturing Footprint</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">While the global demand for iPhones and other Apple hardware products is likely to remain robust for the foreseeable future, analysts should not forget to consider the supply chain necessary to serve this demand. With that frame of context, Apple is reportedly intensifying its efforts to diversify its manufacturing footprint in Asia. This move is said to be driven by concerns over potential risks arising from escalating geopolitical tensions, and coincides with reports that Apple is pressuring its suppliers to accelerate diversification beyond China.

According to JPM&#39;s Global Technology team, the current estimate is that by 2025, approximately 25% of Apple products will be manufactured outside of China, a significant increase from the current level of less than 5%.

Now, with Apple stock trading very close to this level and the FY 2023 Q2 earnings expected for May 4th, I feel it is a good time to revisit the investment thesis for Apple.For reference, Apple stock has appreciated 32% YTD, as compared to a gain of only 8% for the S&P 500 (SP500). Needless to say, this is quite an amazing outperformance for a >$2.6 trillion dollar mega-cap business.AAPL vs SPY YTD price performance 2023Seeking AlphaI view Apple's Q2 2023 earnings estimates as reasonable, given continued strength in the company's iPhone business. But, as a function of valuation--with AAPL stock's estimated 2023 P/E priced close x30--I am cautious to assign a 'Buy' recommendation. Apple remains a 'Hold' for me with a $164.85/share target price.Apple's Q2 2023 PreviewBased on data collected by Seeking Alpha, as of April 16th, a total of 33 analysts have provided their projections for Apple's Q2 FY 2023 results. These projections indicate that Apple's total sales for the quarter are expected to fall within the range of $89.8 billion to $98.9 billion, with an average estimate of $92.8. Based on the average analyst consensus estimate, it is suggested that Apple's Q2 2023 sales may contract by approximately 4.5% YoY as compared to the same quarter in FY 2022.Apple Q2 FY 2023 revenue revisions/ estimatesSeeking AlphaFurthermore, analysts have provided earnings per share estimates ranging from $1.35 to $1.56, with an average of $1.43. While the range of EPS estimates is quite wide, assuming the average of $1.43, analysts anticipate that Apple's Q2 FY 2023 earnings will contract by about 6.8% versus the Q2 FY 2022 period.Apple Q2 FY 2023 EPS revisions/ estimatesSeeking AlphaReflecting on analysts' estimates for Apple's Q2 FY 2023 quarter, it is worth noting that, both revenue and EPS estimates have started to trend downwards since early 2023, indicating a divergence of how analysts and markets view Apple's business fundamentals (AAPL stock up >30% YTD).A Review of Apple's Business FundamentalsMac demand is crashingApple Inc.'s personal computer shipments dropped by 40.5% in the first quarter, marking the worst decline since the end of 2000, due to sluggish demand and an industrywide glut, particularly in the consumer market. This decline is part of a broader trend in the PC market, with all PC makers experiencing a slump of 29% in shipments as the demand surge driven by pandemic-era remote work subsided. Apple, which had been relatively resilient during the pandemic, is preparing to launch new models later this year in hopes of spurring demand, while analysts predict a potential rebound for PC makers in 2024 due to aging hardware replacement and an improving global economy.The iPhone Is Still KingInvestors should consider that the iPhone accounts for about 52% of Apple's total sales, and an even larger share of profits. And a weak demand for the Mac is thus less concerning, accounting for only about 10% of Apple's total sales.Apple revenue exposureApple FY 2022 reporting, Author's graphThe good news is that the demand for iPhones remains healthy, despite a challenging macroeconomic backdrop.Notably, analysts from UBS (UBS Evidence Lab proprietary research) conducted a comprehensive survey of approximately 4,000 iPhone users in four different regions across the world to gain insights into the installed base and adoption of various Apple services.The survey revealed that as of March 2023 the iPhone retention rate in the United States has increased to 83%, as compared to 81% in 2022 (a notable increase of 200 basis points), and as compared to about 76% pre-COVID. In China, the iPhone retention rate has also rise, to 44%, versus approximately 29% two years ago.Moreover, the survey highlights that approximately 45% of all iPhone users own devices below the iPhone 12 generation, and about 20% own devices below the iPhone 11 generation, suggesting the likelihood of a strong upgrade cycle within the next 12-24 months.UBS now forecasts that the global installed base for the iPhone will grow to about 1,4 billion units by 2025, and 1,5 billion units by 2027.UBS Evidence Lab - Survey for the IphoneUBS Evidence LabAlso Piper Sandler conducted a survey (teens) that confirmed that confirmed UBS' findings that iPhone ownership is at near all time levels, with continued strong purchase intention going forward. Piper Sandler's equity research team surveyed a total of 5,690 teenagers across 47 states in the U.S, with an average household income slightly below $67,691 (less than national average of close to $70,000) and an average age of 16.2 years. According to Piper research, an impressive 87% of U.S. teenagers own an iPhone, and over 25% of these teenagers show intention to upgrade their current iPhone to a iPhone 14 during the Spring/Summer period.Piper Sandler Spring Survey - Teens, IPhonePiper Sandler Spring SurveyThe Services Ecosystem Continues To GrowThe revenue share of Apple's services ecosystem now accounts for approximately 20% of the company's total topline. Again referencing UBS' iPhone survey, the adoption of Apple Services shows incremental improvement. Apple's major offerings such as Apple Music and iCloud continue to exhibit the highest attachment and growth rates, while the respective rates for Arcade, News+, TV+, and Fitness appear to plateaued at levels lower levels.UBS Evidence Lab - Survey for the IphoneUBS Evidence LabBroadly speaking, as long as the iPhone is doing well, Apple's services ecosystem is also likely to do well, given the integrated nature of hardware plus services. The UBS survey appears to confirm the thesis: approximately 60% of respondents highlighted that they would see it as very inconvenient to leave Apple's services ecosystem, even if they would like to switch to another smartphone.Apple Pushes To Diversify Manufacturing FootprintWhile the global demand for iPhones and other Apple hardware products is likely to remain robust for the foreseeable future, analysts should not forget to consider the supply chain necessary to serve this demand. With that frame of context, Apple is reportedly intensifying its efforts to diversify its manufacturing footprint in Asia. This move is said to be driven by concerns over potential risks arising from escalating geopolitical tensions, and coincides with reports that Apple is pressuring its suppliers to accelerate diversification beyond China. With that frame of reference, Apple's largest supplier, Foxconn, is reported to be expanding production in India, including a substantial $700 million investment in a new plant. According to JPM's Global Technology team, the current estimate is that by 2025, approximately 25% of Apple products will be manufactured outside of China, a significant increase from the current level of less than 5%. Vietnam and India are reportedly emerging as preferred countries of choice for Apple's manufacturing diversification strategy.ConclusionIn summary, Apple's business fundamentals are experiencing mixed trends. While demand for Mac computers has declined significantly, the iPhone continues to be the primary revenue driver for the company, with a healthy demand and high retention rates in the United States and China. The Services ecosystem, which accounts for a significant portion of Apple's revenue, is also showing incremental growth, with Apple Music and iCloud leading the way.

The market’s high pessimism for TSLA stock at the start of the year seems to have shifted into high optimism. Hopes are that this electric vehicle (EV) maker can continue to thrive despite current economic challenges. Even as other growth stocks pull back on recent macro news, investors are willing to keep bidding up TSLA.</p><p>With all this in mind, you may be wondering what lies ahead for the company from here. In the near term, due to several different factors, shares of this EV play could stay on an upward trajectory.</p><p>However, while TSLA may keep performing well in 2023, investment returns over a longer timeframe (like, say, two years) could end up being far less impressive than many fans of the stock currently expect.</p><p>Let’s dive into my Tesla price prediction for 2025.</p><h2>TSLA Stock Should Stay Elevated (For Now)</h2><p>I’ve expressed skepticism in recent coverage, but I’ll admit that there’s plenty in play that could potentially keep this top EV stock at elevated prices.</p><p>For instance, with Tesla’s much-awaited “Investor Day” just a few weeks away (March 1), more investors could continue to jump into TSLA stock, expecting that the event will include an unveiling of plans for its third-generation vehicle platform. This next vehicle platform could enable Tesla to further reduce manufacturing costs.</p><p>Besides boosting its chances of winning an emerging “EV price war,” production cost reductions may also enable Tesla to introduce lower-priced vehicle models for the mass market. And alongside that, two other things may help TSLA stock sustain (and possibly grow) its current valuation.</p><p>First, upcoming delivery numbers could indicate that Tesla’s recent vehicle price cuts are creating significant demand, which would suggest the company has a shot of hitting CEO Elon Musk’s deliveries stretch goal of 2 million vehicles this year. Second, if the next few quarterly reports indicate that price cuts are not having a big impact on margins — or that increased demand outweighs the impact — that could also bolster investor confidence.</p><h2>Challenges Ahead in 2024 and 2025</h2><p>So, TSLA stock may stay in the fast lane during 2023. However, next year may also be a different story as well as the year after that. Why? Although Tesla is perhaps successfully keeping the competition at bay today, that may not be the case in the years ahead.</p><p>With the aforementioned “EV price war” only in its early stages, it’s unclear how far automakers will go in order to capture a larger piece of the market. Traditional automakers are also tweaking their dealership-based sales models, which could also minimize the edge Tesla gains from its direct-to-consumer model.</p><p>As old school competitors play catch up over the next two years, Tesla could see a serious impact on its future growth, not to mention margins. The company could keep growing at a double-digit clip, but it’s possible said growth decelerates greatly in 2024 and 2025. In turn, this stands to have a big effect on TSLA stock’s future performance.</p><p>Right now, with rising confidence that Tesla will be able to get back to 50% annualized growth, shares have propelled back up to a very high valuation (50 times trailing earnings). If growth decelerates, this valuation will likely contract in a huge way.</p><h2>My Price Prediction for Tesla in 2025</h2><p>Don’t get me wrong. After years of trading at a tech stock valuation, I don’t think TSLA stock is headed toward a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio in line with traditional automakers (less than 10 times earnings).</p><p>However, it’s not far-fetched to believe that, as growth slows, Tesla’s valuation will contract to 20 or 30 times earnings. Per current forecasts, Tesla is expected to earn $6.68 per share by 2025. Apply a 30 times multiple and that yields a price of around $200 per share.</p><p>Sure, factors like the rollout of new vehicle models could outweigh negatives to growth like competition. Yet, looking at the Cybertruck delays as precedent, lower-priced models may be many years away from launch. Hitting consensus may be the best case scenario here.</p><p>With that in mind, I predict that TSLA stock in 2025 will (at best) trade at prices at or near current levels.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The market’s high pessimism for TSLA stock at the start of the year seems to have shifted into high optimism. Hopes are that this electric vehicle (EV) maker can continue to thrive despite current economic challenges. Even as other growth stocks pull back on recent macro news, investors are willing to keep bidding up TSLA.With all this in mind, you may be wondering what lies ahead for the company from here. In the near term, due to several different factors, shares of this EV play could stay on an upward trajectory.However, while TSLA may keep performing well in 2023, investment returns over a longer timeframe (like, say, two years) could end up being far less impressive than many fans of the stock currently expect.Let’s dive into my Tesla price prediction for 2025.TSLA Stock Should Stay Elevated (For Now)I’ve expressed skepticism in recent coverage, but I’ll admit that there’s plenty in play that could potentially keep this top EV stock at elevated prices.For instance, with Tesla’s much-awaited “Investor Day” just a few weeks away (March 1), more investors could continue to jump into TSLA stock, expecting that the event will include an unveiling of plans for its third-generation vehicle platform. This next vehicle platform could enable Tesla to further reduce manufacturing costs.Besides boosting its chances of winning an emerging “EV price war,” production cost reductions may also enable Tesla to introduce lower-priced vehicle models for the mass market. And alongside that, two other things may help TSLA stock sustain (and possibly grow) its current valuation.First, upcoming delivery numbers could indicate that Tesla’s recent vehicle price cuts are creating significant demand, which would suggest the company has a shot of hitting CEO Elon Musk’s deliveries stretch goal of 2 million vehicles this year. Second, if the next few quarterly reports indicate that price cuts are not having a big impact on margins — or that increased demand outweighs the impact — that could also bolster investor confidence.Challenges Ahead in 2024 and 2025So, TSLA stock may stay in the fast lane during 2023. However, next year may also be a different story as well as the year after that. Why? Although Tesla is perhaps successfully keeping the competition at bay today, that may not be the case in the years ahead.With the aforementioned “EV price war” only in its early stages, it’s unclear how far automakers will go in order to capture a larger piece of the market. Traditional automakers are also tweaking their dealership-based sales models, which could also minimize the edge Tesla gains from its direct-to-consumer model.As old school competitors play catch up over the next two years, Tesla could see a serious impact on its future growth, not to mention margins. The company could keep growing at a double-digit clip, but it’s possible said growth decelerates greatly in 2024 and 2025. In turn, this stands to have a big effect on TSLA stock’s future performance.Right now, with rising confidence that Tesla will be able to get back to 50% annualized growth, shares have propelled back up to a very high valuation (50 times trailing earnings). If growth decelerates, this valuation will likely contract in a huge way.My Price Prediction for Tesla in 2025Don’t get me wrong. After years of trading at a tech stock valuation, I don’t think TSLA stock is headed toward a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio in line with traditional automakers (less than 10 times earnings).However, it’s not far-fetched to believe that, as growth slows, Tesla’s valuation will contract to 20 or 30 times earnings. Per current forecasts, Tesla is expected to earn $6.68 per share by 2025. Apply a 30 times multiple and that yields a price of around $200 per share.Sure, factors like the rollout of new vehicle models could outweigh negatives to growth like competition. Yet, looking at the Cybertruck delays as precedent, lower-priced models may be many years away from launch. Hitting consensus may be the best case scenario here.With that in mind, I predict that TSLA stock in 2025 will (at best) trade at prices at or near current levels.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":42,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9954861987,"gmtCreate":1676248959049,"gmtModify":1676248962307,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579899712012688","authorIdStr":"3579899712012688"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Real fight between Bing n Google soon!","listText":"Real fight between Bing n Google soon!","text":"Real fight between Bing n Google soon!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":16,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9954861987","repostId":"2310672034","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2310672034","pubTimestamp":1676258937,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2310672034?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-02-13 11:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"ChatGPT Sparked an AI Craze. How to Cut Through the Hype","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2310672034","media":"marketwatch","summary":"It has been more than 70 years since the English computer scientist Alan Turing wrote a landmark pap","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>It has been more than 70 years since the English computer scientist Alan Turing wrote a landmark paper laying out the Turing Test for assessing whether machines can think.</p><p>It turns out that a better question is whether they can sell advertising.</p><p>Over the past two months, Wall Street has become preoccupied with ChatGPT, the now very popular chatbot from start-up OpenAI. ChatGPT launched on Nov. 30 as a free service, and the world has been dazzled by its ability to answer questions and create original materials, generating everything from letters and resumes to computer code and Shakespearean-style sonnets. ChatGPT reached more than 100 million users in January, hitting that milestone even faster than TikTok.</p><p>The viral success has spurred questions across Wall Street about how tech titans would respond.  <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MSFT\">Microsoft</a>, which made an initial investment in OpenAI in 2019, recently agreed to boost its stake by $10 billion, spurring speculation about how the software giant would fold so-called generative artificial intelligence into its products.</p><p>We got the answer this past week. On Tuesday, Microsoft unveiled a new version of its Bing search engine, infused with natural-language capability from OpenAI. The implications were market-shaking, mostly for Google parent <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOOGL\">Alphabet</a>, which could see its dominance in internet search challenged for the first time in decades.</p><p>“AI will fundamentally change every software category, starting with the largest category of all—search,” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said this past week.</p><p>A day before Microsoft’s announcement, Google unveiled its own AI-based chatbot, called Bard. The company also intends to add generative AI functionality to its own core search engine. This past Wednesday, Alphabet hosted a low-key search-related event in Paris to show off AI-related updates to maps, image search, and language translation. But the market came away uninspired.</p><p>Some observers noted a small error in one of the Bard search examples, which had said that the first photograph of an exoplanet was taken by the Webb space telescope. That isn’t accurate. Also noted by many: While Microsoft CEO Nadella led the Bing launch, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai didn’t participate in Google’s Paris event. It was, one fund manager said, a Bard bust.</p><p>Analysts and investors spent the rest of the week debating a once impossible idea: that a newly energized Bing, which rolled out in 2009, could shift the balance of power in the internet search market.</p><p>Google currently controls 93% of the search market, versus just 3% for Bing, according to Statcounter. Google, as a result, has near-total domination of search-related advertising. The company is currently fighting a pair of Justice Department lawsuits charging that the company’s search and advertising businesses violate federal antitrust law. The first suit, filed in 2020, focuses specifically on search. It goes to trial later this year. Just a few weeks ago, the government filed a second case, this time related to the online advertising market. Investors appear to be less worried about the litigation, though, than they are about the potential that Google might lose some of its search prowess to an AI-powered version of Bing.</p><h2>AI’s Long History</h2><p>The idea of creating a search engine that works with natural language has been around for decades; it was the goal of search engine Ask Jeeves, founded in 1996, which morphed into Ask.com and is now part of internet holding company IAC(IAC).</p><p>“Ask Jeeves is a provider of natural-language question-answering services on the internet for consumers and companies, establishing a new way to interact with the World Wide Web,” the company said in the prospectus for its 1999 initial public offering.</p><p>Ask Jeeves couldn’t quite deliver, undermined by the early days of internet infrastructure. The company never threatened Google. But computing has changed dramatically over the past 25 years—Microsoft, Google, and others benefit from far more powerful processors and algorithms, new techniques in AI and machine learning, and the vast reach and capabilities of cloud computing.</p><h2>The New AI Portfolio</h2><h3>The arrival of ChatGPT has investors looking for ways to invest in AI.

Most of that goes to Alphabet, which reported $163 billion in search advertising last year, roughly 60% of the company’s overall revenue. Microsoft doesn’t break out Bing’s ad revenue, but if you assume it monetizes search at a comparable rate to Google, you’d get single-digit billions.</p><p>On the Microsoft call, Philippe Ockenden, the CFO for its Windows, Devices, and Search business, pointed out that “for every one point of share gain in the search advertising market, it’s a $2 billion revenue opportunity for our advertising business.”</p><p>And that’s what makes Alphabet investors nervous. The stock fell 12% in the days following Microsoft’s announcement, shedding about $160 billion in market value. Alphabet trades at roughly four times next year’s expected sales, so the market’s math suggests $40 billion of high-margin revenue flipping to Bing from Google.</p><p>In short, Wall Street watched the Bing demonstration, listened to the Google event, and concluded that Google finally has a real rival in search.</p><p>Unlike the typical pattern in tech disruption, this isn’t a threat from a feisty start-up. Google is coming under attack from an emboldened version of the world’s largest software company.</p><p>And there is a related problem: While Google is busy fending off Bing, the addition of new AI capabilities could boost the company’s search-related costs while eating into the number of queries that can support ads. “The bigger issue and fear here for Alphabet investors is the potential for rising [capital expenditures] and compute intensity associated with this new vector of search capability,” RBC Capital Markets analyst Brad Erickson wrote in a research note.</p><p>Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak estimates that natural-language queries could be five times more expensive for Google to complete than under its current search model. For every 10% of Google’s search queries that switch to language models, Nowak concludes that the company’s operating expenses increase by $1.2 billion. If 50% of queries end up using natural language, Alphabet’s costs would increase by $6 billion, Nowak calculates, slashing pretax earnings by 6%.</p><h2><b>The Speculative Bets</b></h2><p>Until this past week, most of the AI action was taking place outside the realm of Big Tech, with investors scrambling to find more direct ways to play the theme. The frenzy has driven up prices of small-cap stocks in a way that feels similar to other recent Wall Street manias, from cryptocurrencies and 3-D printing to fake meat and cannabis.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AI\">C3.ai</a>, a provider of AI software tools for enterprise applications, has surged 101% this year, aided by the company’s plans to offer a search interface for its software that includes technology from both OpenAI and Google.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BZFD\">BuzzFeed</a> shares have rallied 145% this year on news that it plans to use ChatGPT to create content for its website.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SOUN\">SoundHound AI</a>, which this past week announced a voice-activated generative AI application for automotive and other end markets, has more than tripled since the ChatGPT launch. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BBAI\">BigBear.ai Holdings</a>, which makes AI-based analytical tools for U.S. defense and intelligence agencies, has more than quintupled over the same span. Both SoundHound and BigBear have taken advantage of the new interest in their shares by selling more stock.</p><p>Investors should be wary. Work on AI software has been happening for decades. The technology is complex and resource-intensive. In Alphabet’s case, the launch of Bard is part of a yearslong effort. The company bought the London-based AI software company DeepMind in 2014, for a reported $500 million-plus. Google has been including AI and machine learning in many software products for more than two decades. AI shows up in Google Translate, in the company’s core search service, in Google Lens visual search, in Google Maps, and in Gmail, among other places.</p><p>“AI is the most profound technology we are working on today,” Alphabet’s Pichai wrote in his blog post announcing Bard. “It’s critical that we bring experiences rooted in these models to the world in a bold and responsible way,” he added.</p><p>That’s a pretty obvious dig at ChatGPT, which has come under attack for not always delivering accurate information—and for creating opportunities for students of all ages to bypass the time-honored tradition of writing papers and taking tests.</p><h2>The AI Portfolio</h2><p>For investors, there are other AI plays to consider that don’t involve the risk of speculative small-caps. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/IBM\">IBM</a> cites AI as one of the company’s two main priorities, along with hybrid cloud software. Remember when the IBM Watson mainframe took on human contestants in <i>Jeopardy</i>? That was in 2010. Big Blue has no intention to start a search engine or create consumer-facing chat apps, but the company is pushing to make artificial intelligence and machine learning ubiquitous elements of enterprise computing.</p><p>Sriram Raghavan, an IBM vice president who runs AI research across the company’s research labs, says the company has been developing “foundation models,” an approach that applies AI across industry-specific applications. In effect, IBM is applying the same kind of technology used to create large-language models found in chatbots to other realms, like writing code, analyzing geospatial data, molecular discovery, and business automation.</p><p>The complexity of AI will also boost demand for cloud-computing hardware, and the chips that power them. David Readerman, who runs a Bay Area hedge fund called Endurance Capital Partners, thinks          Nvidia        (         NVDA       ) is the best AI play—his guess is that 75% of AI workloads will be on servers using Nvidia’s graphics processors.</p><p>The AI trend should also benefit          Advanced Micro Devices        (         AMD       ). In a keynote address at the CES trade show in January, AMD CEO Lisa Su stood in front of a large screen that declared “AI is the defining megatrend in technology.”</p><p>“AI has been around for quite some time,” Su said in an interview with <i>Barron’s</i> last month, “but we’re at an inflection point, touching all of our technologies, from chips for consumer devices up to the largest chips we build for data centers. You need AI capability in every one of those devices.”</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a>, which dominates the market for creativity tools like InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator, sees the trend toward generative AI—which includes images as well as text—expanding its market as more people become creators. “We’re in a golden age of content creation, and generative AI will only accelerate that,” Adobe CFO Dan Durn recently told <i>Barron’s</i>.</p><p>Meanwhile, Facebook parent <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Meta Platforms</a> has promised to roll out generative AI tools of its own later this year.</p><p>“AI is the foundation of our discovery engine and our ads business, and we also think it’s going to enable many new products and additional transformations within our apps,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call. “Generative AI is an extremely exciting new area…and one of my goals for Meta is to build on our research to become a leader in generative AI in addition to our leading work in recommendation AI.”</p><p>But that all looks small in comparison to the suddenly competitive market for internet search.</p><p>“Bing is better than Google search,” D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria wrote in a research note this past week—words few on Wall Street likely ever expected to hear.</p><p>Luria reiterated his Buy rating on Microsoft stock while boosting his target price to $325, from $280, suggesting upside of 25% from Microsoft’s recent close. “We believe consumers will be impressed,” he wrote after Bing’s recent demonstrations. “[T]he added capabilities made possible by the OpenAI integration make these tools considerably more useful, and we’re impressed by the sleek integration.” He sees a potential for “permanent share shift” in search.</p><p>Longtime internet analyst Mark Mahaney, now at Evecore ISI, maintains his Outperform rating on Alphabet shares, but nonetheless concedes that the search market has entered a new phase. “At the margin, there is no question that Microsoft’s aggressive move into Generative AI and its cadence of product development has presented a real risk to Google’s market position,” he recently wrote.</p><p>The AI frenzy comes at a notable time for tech companies, which saw their stocks tumble in 2022.

ChatGPT launched on Nov. 30 as a free service, and the world has been dazzled by its ability to answer questions and create original materials, generating everything from letters and resumes to computer code and Shakespearean-style sonnets. ChatGPT reached more than 100 million users in January, hitting that milestone even faster than TikTok.The viral success has spurred questions across Wall Street about how tech titans would respond.  Microsoft, which made an initial investment in OpenAI in 2019, recently agreed to boost its stake by $10 billion, spurring speculation about how the software giant would fold so-called generative artificial intelligence into its products.We got the answer this past week. On Tuesday, Microsoft unveiled a new version of its Bing search engine, infused with natural-language capability from OpenAI. The implications were market-shaking, mostly for Google parent Alphabet, which could see its dominance in internet search challenged for the first time in decades.“AI will fundamentally change every software category, starting with the largest category of all—search,” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said this past week.A day before Microsoft’s announcement, Google unveiled its own AI-based chatbot, called Bard. The company also intends to add generative AI functionality to its own core search engine. This past Wednesday, Alphabet hosted a low-key search-related event in Paris to show off AI-related updates to maps, image search, and language translation. But the market came away uninspired.Some observers noted a small error in one of the Bard search examples, which had said that the first photograph of an exoplanet was taken by the Webb space telescope. That isn’t accurate. Also noted by many: While Microsoft CEO Nadella led the Bing launch, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai didn’t participate in Google’s Paris event. It was, one fund manager said, a Bard bust.Analysts and investors spent the rest of the week debating a once impossible idea: that a newly energized Bing, which rolled out in 2009, could shift the balance of power in the internet search market.Google currently controls 93% of the search market, versus just 3% for Bing, according to Statcounter. Google, as a result, has near-total domination of search-related advertising. The company is currently fighting a pair of Justice Department lawsuits charging that the company’s search and advertising businesses violate federal antitrust law. The first suit, filed in 2020, focuses specifically on search. It goes to trial later this year. Just a few weeks ago, the government filed a second case, this time related to the online advertising market. Investors appear to be less worried about the litigation, though, than they are about the potential that Google might lose some of its search prowess to an AI-powered version of Bing.AI’s Long HistoryThe idea of creating a search engine that works with natural language has been around for decades; it was the goal of search engine Ask Jeeves, founded in 1996, which morphed into Ask.com and is now part of internet holding company IAC(IAC).“Ask Jeeves is a provider of natural-language question-answering services on the internet for consumers and companies, establishing a new way to interact with the World Wide Web,” the company said in the prospectus for its 1999 initial public offering.Ask Jeeves couldn’t quite deliver, undermined by the early days of internet infrastructure. The company never threatened Google. But computing has changed dramatically over the past 25 years—Microsoft, Google, and others benefit from far more powerful processors and algorithms, new techniques in AI and machine learning, and the vast reach and capabilities of cloud computing.The New AI PortfolioThe arrival of ChatGPT has investors looking for ways to invest in AI. Here are some of the key players.Company / TickerMarket ValueYTD ChangeCommentON THE FRONT LINESMicrosoft / MSFT$1.96 trillion9.9%Bing deal with OpenAI shook up the search market.Alphabet / GOOGL$1.227.7Is adding AI to Search, but faces new threat in Bing.THE ARMS DEALERSNvidia / NVDA$549 billion52.9%Its graphics processors are used in many AI applications.Adobe / ADBE17211.7Creative-software giant sees boost from generative AI.Advanced Micro Devices / AMD13428.5Launched new AI-focused chip at CES.IBM / IBM121-5.1Remember Watson? IBM is still innovating in AI apps.THE SPECULATIVE BETSC3.ai / AI$2.5 billion101%Enterprise AI firm launched ChatGPT-based search app.SoundHound AI / SOUN962 million126Its AI-based voice software is used in cars and restaurants.BigBear.ai Holdings / BBAI682682Makes AI-based analytics, mostly for DoD and spy agencies.BuzzFeed / BZFD235145News site announced plans to post content created by ChatGPT.Source: BloombergThe most important innovation is the development of generative AI built on large language models, algorithms that can summarize, translate, predict, and generate text and other content based on massive sets of data.The technology has given Microsoft—at long last—an opportunity to become relevant in the search market.On a conference call with analysts following the Bing press event, Microsoft Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood estimated that search advertising accounts for 40% of the $500 billion digital ad market, or about $200 billion. Most of that goes to Alphabet, which reported $163 billion in search advertising last year, roughly 60% of the company’s overall revenue. Microsoft doesn’t break out Bing’s ad revenue, but if you assume it monetizes search at a comparable rate to Google, you’d get single-digit billions.On the Microsoft call, Philippe Ockenden, the CFO for its Windows, Devices, and Search business, pointed out that “for every one point of share gain in the search advertising market, it’s a $2 billion revenue opportunity for our advertising business.”And that’s what makes Alphabet investors nervous. The stock fell 12% in the days following Microsoft’s announcement, shedding about $160 billion in market value. Alphabet trades at roughly four times next year’s expected sales, so the market’s math suggests $40 billion of high-margin revenue flipping to Bing from Google.In short, Wall Street watched the Bing demonstration, listened to the Google event, and concluded that Google finally has a real rival in search.Unlike the typical pattern in tech disruption, this isn’t a threat from a feisty start-up. Google is coming under attack from an emboldened version of the world’s largest software company.And there is a related problem: While Google is busy fending off Bing, the addition of new AI capabilities could boost the company’s search-related costs while eating into the number of queries that can support ads. “The bigger issue and fear here for Alphabet investors is the potential for rising [capital expenditures] and compute intensity associated with this new vector of search capability,” RBC Capital Markets analyst Brad Erickson wrote in a research note.Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak estimates that natural-language queries could be five times more expensive for Google to complete than under its current search model. For every 10% of Google’s search queries that switch to language models, Nowak concludes that the company’s operating expenses increase by $1.2 billion. If 50% of queries end up using natural language, Alphabet’s costs would increase by $6 billion, Nowak calculates, slashing pretax earnings by 6%.The Speculative BetsUntil this past week, most of the AI action was taking place outside the realm of Big Tech, with investors scrambling to find more direct ways to play the theme. The frenzy has driven up prices of small-cap stocks in a way that feels similar to other recent Wall Street manias, from cryptocurrencies and 3-D printing to fake meat and cannabis.C3.ai, a provider of AI software tools for enterprise applications, has surged 101% this year, aided by the company’s plans to offer a search interface for its software that includes technology from both OpenAI and Google.BuzzFeed shares have rallied 145% this year on news that it plans to use ChatGPT to create content for its website.SoundHound AI, which this past week announced a voice-activated generative AI application for automotive and other end markets, has more than tripled since the ChatGPT launch. BigBear.ai Holdings, which makes AI-based analytical tools for U.S. defense and intelligence agencies, has more than quintupled over the same span. Both SoundHound and BigBear have taken advantage of the new interest in their shares by selling more stock.Investors should be wary. Work on AI software has been happening for decades. The technology is complex and resource-intensive. In Alphabet’s case, the launch of Bard is part of a yearslong effort. The company bought the London-based AI software company DeepMind in 2014, for a reported $500 million-plus. Google has been including AI and machine learning in many software products for more than two decades. AI shows up in Google Translate, in the company’s core search service, in Google Lens visual search, in Google Maps, and in Gmail, among other places.“AI is the most profound technology we are working on today,” Alphabet’s Pichai wrote in his blog post announcing Bard. “It’s critical that we bring experiences rooted in these models to the world in a bold and responsible way,” he added.That’s a pretty obvious dig at ChatGPT, which has come under attack for not always delivering accurate information—and for creating opportunities for students of all ages to bypass the time-honored tradition of writing papers and taking tests.The AI PortfolioFor investors, there are other AI plays to consider that don’t involve the risk of speculative small-caps. IBM cites AI as one of the company’s two main priorities, along with hybrid cloud software. Remember when the IBM Watson mainframe took on human contestants in Jeopardy? That was in 2010. Big Blue has no intention to start a search engine or create consumer-facing chat apps, but the company is pushing to make artificial intelligence and machine learning ubiquitous elements of enterprise computing.Sriram Raghavan, an IBM vice president who runs AI research across the company’s research labs, says the company has been developing “foundation models,” an approach that applies AI across industry-specific applications. In effect, IBM is applying the same kind of technology used to create large-language models found in chatbots to other realms, like writing code, analyzing geospatial data, molecular discovery, and business automation.The complexity of AI will also boost demand for cloud-computing hardware, and the chips that power them. David Readerman, who runs a Bay Area hedge fund called Endurance Capital Partners, thinks          Nvidia        (         NVDA       ) is the best AI play—his guess is that 75% of AI workloads will be on servers using Nvidia’s graphics processors.The AI trend should also benefit          Advanced Micro Devices        (         AMD       ). In a keynote address at the CES trade show in January, AMD CEO Lisa Su stood in front of a large screen that declared “AI is the defining megatrend in technology.”“AI has been around for quite some time,” Su said in an interview with Barron’s last month, “but we’re at an inflection point, touching all of our technologies, from chips for consumer devices up to the largest chips we build for data centers. You need AI capability in every one of those devices.”Adobe, which dominates the market for creativity tools like InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator, sees the trend toward generative AI—which includes images as well as text—expanding its market as more people become creators. “We’re in a golden age of content creation, and generative AI will only accelerate that,” Adobe CFO Dan Durn recently told Barron’s.Meanwhile, Facebook parent Meta Platforms has promised to roll out generative AI tools of its own later this year.“AI is the foundation of our discovery engine and our ads business, and we also think it’s going to enable many new products and additional transformations within our apps,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call. “Generative AI is an extremely exciting new area…and one of my goals for Meta is to build on our research to become a leader in generative AI in addition to our leading work in recommendation AI.”But that all looks small in comparison to the suddenly competitive market for internet search.“Bing is better than Google search,” D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria wrote in a research note this past week—words few on Wall Street likely ever expected to hear.Luria reiterated his Buy rating on Microsoft stock while boosting his target price to $325, from $280, suggesting upside of 25% from Microsoft’s recent close. “We believe consumers will be impressed,” he wrote after Bing’s recent demonstrations. “[T]he added capabilities made possible by the OpenAI integration make these tools considerably more useful, and we’re impressed by the sleek integration.” He sees a potential for “permanent share shift” in search.Longtime internet analyst Mark Mahaney, now at Evecore ISI, maintains his Outperform rating on Alphabet shares, but nonetheless concedes that the search market has entered a new phase. “At the margin, there is no question that Microsoft’s aggressive move into Generative AI and its cadence of product development has presented a real risk to Google’s market position,” he recently wrote.The AI frenzy comes at a notable time for tech companies, which saw their stocks tumble in 2022. Growth has slowed, the market for IPOs has all but disappeared, and regulatory scrutiny is mounting. The tech sector could use a shot in the arm—AI may be about to deliver it.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":108,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9927389688,"gmtCreate":1672398538444,"gmtModify":1676538685108,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579899712012688","authorIdStr":"3579899712012688"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"THanks for sharing&nbsp;","listText":"THanks for sharing&nbsp;","text":"THanks for sharing","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":14,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9927389688","repostId":"2295113789","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2295113789","pubTimestamp":1672394307,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2295113789?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-30 17:58","market":"us","language":"en","title":"2 No-Brainer Warren Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist for 2023","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2295113789","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Amazon and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing are available at attractive valuations.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The Federal Reserve gave the stock market a shock recently as the central bank raised interest rates once again, taking its benchmark rate to its highest level in 15 years. The Fed also suggested that it would keep raising rates in 2023 to bring down inflation.</p><p>The Fed&#39;s hawkish stance sent equities tumbling, as it was expected that the central bank would dial down rate increases in 2023 thanks to signs of cooling inflation. A high-interest-rate environment has been the stock market&#39;s undoing in 2022. The Fed would need more proof that inflation is cooling in a sustained manner.</p><p>It could get that evidence in 2023, as inflation is expected to drop to 3.2% by the end of 2023, which would be a substantial decline from 7.1% in November 2022. So it won&#39;t be surprising to see the Fed adopt a dovish stance as 2023 progresses. That&#39;s why now may be a good time to buy some beaten-down stocks from Warren Buffett&#39;s portfolio.</p><p>The <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> CEO has been active in the stock market this year despite the gloom, suggesting that he&#39;s busy putting his money to work by buying solid companies for the long run. Here are two stocks from Berkshire&#39;s portfolio that investors may want to buy while they&#39;re still down, as they could turn out to be big winners in the long run.</p><h2>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon</a></h2><p>E-commerce and technology giant <b>Amazon</b> has lost half of its value on the stock market this year. The company&#39;s growth has lagged thanks to a slowdown in e-commerce sales on account of surging inflation.</p><p>But with inflation expected to cool down substantially in 2023, the e-commerce business can be expected to step on the gas once again. This explains why Amazon&#39;s earnings are estimated to jump substantially next year following a sharp drop in 2022. More specifically, Amazon is expected to finish 2022 with a loss of $0.09 per share, compared with a profit of $3.24 per share in 2021, but the forecast for 2023 and 2024 shows major improvements are in the cards.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7ef8b659184ae00c4a96f8c33905911b\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"387\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>AMZN EPS Estimates for Current Fiscal Year data by YCharts</p><p>It is estimated that global e-commerce spending could rise to $6.5 trillion in 2023 from $5.7 trillion in 2022. That would be a nice improvement over this year&#39;s estimated decline of nearly 10%. On the other hand, Amazon&#39;s entry into a lucrative market such as advertising should be another key catalyst for the company in 2023.</p><p>Amazon&#39;s advertising revenue jumped 25% year over year in the third quarter of 2022 to $9.5 billion. Although that was less than 10% of the company&#39;s total revenue of $127 billion, it could move the needle in a bigger way for the company. Amazon&#39;s 2022 ad revenue is expected to land at $38 billion. By 2026, this figure is expected to jump to $64 billion. Throw in other growth drivers such as cloud computing, an area where Amazon dominates, and it is easy to see why the company is expected to clock 26% annual earnings growth for the next five years.</p><p>So this Warren Buffett stock could run higher in 2023 and beyond, which is why investors may want to buy it right now, as it&#39;s trading at just 1.7 times sales, which represents a discount to the <b>S&amp;P 500</b>&#39;s price-to-sales ratio of 2.3.</p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSM\">Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing</a></h2><p><b>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing</b> -- better known as TSMC -- is one of the latest additions to Buffett&#39;s portfolio. The Oracle of Omaha revealed a $4.1 billion stake in TSMC recently, and it&#39;s not surprising to see why the foundry giant has made its way into Berkshire&#39;s portfolio.</p><p>TSMC&#39;s 43% slide in 2022 means it&#39;s available at an attractive valuation. TSMC is trading at less than 14 times trailing earnings. That&#39;s lower than the S&amp;P 500&#39;s earnings multiple of 18. Buying this semiconductor stock at this valuation looks like a no-brainer, given the terrific growth opportunity it&#39;s sitting on.</p><p>With TSMC&#39;s earnings estimated to increase at an annual pace of over 21% over the next five years, investors can consider buying it hand over fist considering the cheap valuation. After all, TSMC is the world&#39;s biggest semiconductor foundry and controls 56% share of this space, according to Counterpoint Research.</p><p>This impressive market share puts the company in a solid position to take advantage of the secular growth in semiconductors. Global semiconductor sales are estimated to exceed $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2030, up from $600 billion in 2021.

The Fed also suggested that it would keep raising rates in 2023 to bring down inflation.The Fed's hawkish stance sent equities tumbling, as it was expected that the central bank would dial down rate increases in 2023 thanks to signs of cooling inflation. A high-interest-rate environment has been the stock market's undoing in 2022. The Fed would need more proof that inflation is cooling in a sustained manner.It could get that evidence in 2023, as inflation is expected to drop to 3.2% by the end of 2023, which would be a substantial decline from 7.1% in November 2022. So it won't be surprising to see the Fed adopt a dovish stance as 2023 progresses. That's why now may be a good time to buy some beaten-down stocks from Warren Buffett's portfolio.The Berkshire Hathaway CEO has been active in the stock market this year despite the gloom, suggesting that he's busy putting his money to work by buying solid companies for the long run. Here are two stocks from Berkshire's portfolio that investors may want to buy while they're still down, as they could turn out to be big winners in the long run.1. AmazonE-commerce and technology giant Amazon has lost half of its value on the stock market this year. The company's growth has lagged thanks to a slowdown in e-commerce sales on account of surging inflation.But with inflation expected to cool down substantially in 2023, the e-commerce business can be expected to step on the gas once again. This explains why Amazon's earnings are estimated to jump substantially next year following a sharp drop in 2022. More specifically, Amazon is expected to finish 2022 with a loss of $0.09 per share, compared with a profit of $3.24 per share in 2021, but the forecast for 2023 and 2024 shows major improvements are in the cards.AMZN EPS Estimates for Current Fiscal Year data by YChartsIt is estimated that global e-commerce spending could rise to $6.5 trillion in 2023 from $5.7 trillion in 2022. That would be a nice improvement over this year's estimated decline of nearly 10%. On the other hand, Amazon's entry into a lucrative market such as advertising should be another key catalyst for the company in 2023.Amazon's advertising revenue jumped 25% year over year in the third quarter of 2022 to $9.5 billion. Although that was less than 10% of the company's total revenue of $127 billion, it could move the needle in a bigger way for the company. Amazon's 2022 ad revenue is expected to land at $38 billion. By 2026, this figure is expected to jump to $64 billion. Throw in other growth drivers such as cloud computing, an area where Amazon dominates, and it is easy to see why the company is expected to clock 26% annual earnings growth for the next five years.So this Warren Buffett stock could run higher in 2023 and beyond, which is why investors may want to buy it right now, as it's trading at just 1.7 times sales, which represents a discount to the S&P 500's price-to-sales ratio of 2.3.2. Taiwan Semiconductor ManufacturingTaiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing -- better known as TSMC -- is one of the latest additions to Buffett's portfolio. The Oracle of Omaha revealed a $4.1 billion stake in TSMC recently, and it's not surprising to see why the foundry giant has made its way into Berkshire's portfolio.TSMC's 43% slide in 2022 means it's available at an attractive valuation. TSMC is trading at less than 14 times trailing earnings. That's lower than the S&P 500's earnings multiple of 18. Buying this semiconductor stock at this valuation looks like a no-brainer, given the terrific growth opportunity it's sitting on.With TSMC's earnings estimated to increase at an annual pace of over 21% over the next five years, investors can consider buying it hand over fist considering the cheap valuation. After all, TSMC is the world's biggest semiconductor foundry and controls 56% share of this space, according to Counterpoint Research.This impressive market share puts the company in a solid position to take advantage of the secular growth in semiconductors. Global semiconductor sales are estimated to exceed $1 trillion in annual revenue by 2030, up from $600 billion in 2021. Of course, analysts expect the industry to hit a speed bump in 2023, with industry revenue expected to decline 3.6%, but TSMC can sustain its impressive growth despite that.TSMC's revenue has jumped nearly 45% in the first 11 months of 2022 compared with the prior-year period. That's well above the 4% growth that the global semiconductor market is expected to reach in 2022. TSMC's diversified end markets and its dominance of the foundry market have allowed it to enjoy terrific growth in 2022, and the company's investments in advanced technologies should help it sustain the same in the future thanks to its secular growth opportunity.All this makes TSMC another top Buffett stock that investors may want to buy right now, as it may not be available for cheap once inflation cools down enough and the stock market possibly goes on a bull run in 2023.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":111,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":195657437368560,"gmtCreate":1688805297457,"gmtModify":1688805302419,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579899712012688","authorIdStr":"3579899712012688"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"This is a game charger n game leader of EV cars!

For example, homebuyers want to buy a house at a cheap price, but they get suspicious if the price is too low. Investors feel the same way when it comes to buying stocks. That’s because if the price of a home or a stock is too low, it’s natural to wonder if something is horribly wrong with the asset. So, I wanted to point out some of the top risky bargain stocks you’d be better off avoiding.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">Walgreens (WBA)</h2><p>Last Nov., <strong>Walgreens</strong> (NASDAQ: <strong><u>WBA</u></strong>) announced that it anticipated that it would fork out as much as $4.95 billion over 15 years to “settle all opioid claims against it by participating states, subdivisions and tribes.” However, based on subsequent, actual settlements made by the firm, I believe that figure will prove to be way too low.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">For example, on May 18, WBA disclosed that it had agreed to pay nearly $230 million to settle San Francisco’s claims related to the opioid crisis against it. By May, the company announced that it would pay Florida $683 million to settle that state’s claims against it for damages related to the epidemic. So it’s already agreed to pay out 18.5% of the $4.95 billion to just one state and one medium-sized city. Clearly WBA is going to have to hand over much more than $5 billion to settle the claims against it.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Walgreens has a very low forward price-earnings ratio of 6.6, but it’s definitely one of the risky bargain stocks to void at all costs.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">3M (MMM)</h2><p>Like Walgreens, <strong>3M</strong> (NYSE:<strong><u>MMM</u></strong>) has a litigation problem. In fact, the company is facing about 260,000 lawsuits alleging its earplugs failed to protect members of the U.S. military from hearing loss. While the lawsuits are currently in mediation, indicating that 3M may be able to resolve the lawsuits, there’s no guarantee that the mediation will result in a settlement.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">In addition, <strong>RBC Capital</strong> kept an “underperform” rating on the shares. Although 3M reported stronger-than-expected Q1 results, the bank wrote that the firm’s full-year guidance suggests that the company’s performance will remain unimpressive this year. In addition, RBC Capital expects the company to continue to be plagued by supply-chain issues and its customers’ high inventory levels.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">MMM has a very low trailing price-earnings ratio of just ten, but its’ definitely one of the most risky bargain stocks in the market.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: start;\">Disney (DIS)</h2><p><strong>Disney’s </strong>(NYSE:<strong><u>DIS</u></strong>) revenue last year surged to $82.72 billion from $67.4 billion year over year. All after its theme parks reopened and consumers returned to movie theaters. However, its streaming channels lost about $4 billion last year. It also continued to be hurt by the cord-cutting phenomenon and poor movie-theater  attendance.

For example, homebuyers want to buy a house at a cheap price, but they get suspicious if the price is too low. Investors feel the same way when it comes to buying stocks. That’s because if the price of a home or a stock is too low, it’s natural to wonder if something is horribly wrong with the asset. So, I wanted to point out some of the top risky bargain stocks you’d be better off avoiding.Walgreens (WBA)Last Nov., Walgreens (NASDAQ: WBA) announced that it anticipated that it would fork out as much as $4.95 billion over 15 years to “settle all opioid claims against it by participating states, subdivisions and tribes.” However, based on subsequent, actual settlements made by the firm, I believe that figure will prove to be way too low.For example, on May 18, WBA disclosed that it had agreed to pay nearly $230 million to settle San Francisco’s claims related to the opioid crisis against it. By May, the company announced that it would pay Florida $683 million to settle that state’s claims against it for damages related to the epidemic. So it’s already agreed to pay out 18.5% of the $4.95 billion to just one state and one medium-sized city. Clearly WBA is going to have to hand over much more than $5 billion to settle the claims against it.Walgreens has a very low forward price-earnings ratio of 6.6, but it’s definitely one of the risky bargain stocks to void at all costs.3M (MMM)Like Walgreens, 3M (NYSE:MMM) has a litigation problem. In fact, the company is facing about 260,000 lawsuits alleging its earplugs failed to protect members of the U.S. military from hearing loss. While the lawsuits are currently in mediation, indicating that 3M may be able to resolve the lawsuits, there’s no guarantee that the mediation will result in a settlement.In addition, RBC Capital kept an “underperform” rating on the shares. Although 3M reported stronger-than-expected Q1 results, the bank wrote that the firm’s full-year guidance suggests that the company’s performance will remain unimpressive this year. In addition, RBC Capital expects the company to continue to be plagued by supply-chain issues and its customers’ high inventory levels.MMM has a very low trailing price-earnings ratio of just ten, but its’ definitely one of the most risky bargain stocks in the market.Disney (DIS)Disney’s (NYSE:DIS) revenue last year surged to $82.72 billion from $67.4 billion year over year. All after its theme parks reopened and consumers returned to movie theaters. However, its streaming channels lost about $4 billion last year. It also continued to be hurt by the cord-cutting phenomenon and poor movie-theater  attendance. As a result of these negative catalysts, its operating margin fell from its historical median of 25% to just 8.3%. Unfortunately, with theatre attendance still low, and cord-cutting likely to persist, Disney may continue to struggle.Investment firm Macquarie recently downgraded DIS to “neutral,” saying that the company’s outlook is “clouded with uncertainties.” The financial performance of the company’s conventional TV networks are likely to deteriorate going forward, while DIS may not meet its goal of generating a profit from its streaming businesses next year, warned the firm. DIS stock has a forward price-earnings ratio of 23. That’s a low valuation for a growth stock, and many still put  DIS stock in the latter category. But Disney is clearly a high-risk bargain stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":172,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9942658446,"gmtCreate":1681218960185,"gmtModify":1681218963823,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579899712012688","authorIdStr":"3579899712012688"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hope to stock more these strong fundamental stocks for dividends!","listText":"Hope to stock more these strong fundamental stocks for dividends!","text":"Hope to stock more these strong fundamental stocks for dividends!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":13,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9942658446","repostId":"2326772196","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":17,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9949591188,"gmtCreate":1678723932244,"gmtModify":1678723936470,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579899712012688","authorIdStr":"3579899712012688"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great!","listText":"Great!","text":"Great!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9949591188","repostId":"1188816008","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1188816008","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1678719968,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1188816008?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-13 23:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Crypto Stocks Took off in Morning Trading;

And you&#39;d have a finger or two left over.</p><p><b>Apple</b>, <b>Microsoft</b>, and <b>Alphabet</b> are all clearly above the threshold, and <b>Amazon</b> isn&#39;t too far away from the $1 trillion mark. But there are other stocks that could join the exclusive club in the not-too-distant future. I predict the following three stocks will also be worth over $1 trillion by 2030.</p><h2>1. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BRK.A\">Berkshire Hathaway</a></h2><p>In my view, <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b> (BRK.A) (BRK.B) is the obvious top choice to be the next stock with a $1 trillion market cap. Berkshire currently ranks behind Amazon as the stock that&#39;s closest to the magic number, with its market cap of around $674 billion.</p><p>How can Berkshire Hathaway add another 50% to its current valuation over the next seven years? One possibility is to put its enormous cash stockpile to work. The company continues to buy back its shares quite a bit, which boosts the value of the remaining shares. Warren Buffett and his team have also invested in other publicly traded companies, including adding to Berkshire&#39;s stake in four companies in the fourth quarter of 2022.</p><p>Berkshire also benefits from overall economic growth. Revenue and profits for the company&#39;s insurance, railroad, and energy businesses should increase nicely if the economy performs well in the coming years. Berkshire&#39;s equity holdings, notably including Apple, could help propel its own stock higher, too.</p><p>Perhaps the biggest potential obstacle to Berkshire&#39;s market cap reaching $1 trillion is Buffett&#39;s health. Many investors are drawn to the stock in large part because of the legendary investor&#39;s mystique. Buffett will be 93 in August. Should his health fail, Berkshire stock could fall. For now, though, he appears to be in good health and remains actively involved with the company.</p><h2>2. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">Nvidia</a></h2><p><b>Nvidia</b> (NVDA) stands out as another stock that could realistically hit the $1 trillion market by 2030. The company admittedly has a long way to go to reach the level, with its market cap currently around $573 billion. However, I think Nvidia has what it takes.</p><p>Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks are sizzling-hot right now -- Nvidia is no exception. While the sizzle could fizzle temporarily, the long-term prospects for Nvidia&#39;s graphics processing units (GPUs) in powering AI applications look very bright. As a case in point, the company recently announced the launch of an AI-as-a-service product that will be available through all the major cloud-hosting providers. This new offering will enable any enterprise to use AI.</p><p>While AI is Nvidia&#39;s biggest opportunity, it&#39;s not the only one. The company made its name in the gaming market. Although gaming faces headwinds right now, they should only be temporary. Other significant growth drivers for Nvidia include its Omniverse virtual collaboration and simulation platform and its self-driving car technology.</p><p>It&#39;s possible that Nvidia&#39;s valuation could get in the way of its march to $1 trillion. The stock already has a lot of growth baked into the price, with shares trading at more than 48 times expected earnings. Nvidia could also encounter increased competition over the next few years. Still, I&#39;ll be more surprised if the stock doesn&#39;t have a $1 trillion market cap by 2030 than if it does.</p><h2>3. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a></h2><p><b>Visa</b> (V) might seem like something of a longshot to reach a market cap of $1 trillion. The financial services giant isn&#39;t even halfway there right now, with its market cap below $454 billion. But don&#39;t dismiss Visa&#39;s chances.</p><p>Stock prices and market caps tend to follow earnings. All Visa has to do to join the $1 trillion club is what it&#39;s been doing. The company&#39;s earnings have increased by more than 120% over the past seven years. If Visa keeps up this trend, it should easily attain a market cap of at least $1 trillion by 2030.</p><p>I don&#39;t think Visa will have major problems with earnings growth. The company operates one of the world&#39;s two largest payment rails. The shift away from cash to digital payments appears to be an unstoppable trend. Some have speculated that blockchain could disrupt Visa&#39;s business model. But the company has fully embraced blockchain and could actually be helped more than hurt by the technology.</p><p>Could anything prevent Visa from getting to the $1 trillion level?

And you'd have a finger or two left over.Apple, Microsoft, and Alphabet are all clearly above the threshold, and Amazon isn't too far away from the $1 trillion mark. But there are other stocks that could join the exclusive club in the not-too-distant future. I predict the following three stocks will also be worth over $1 trillion by 2030.1. Berkshire HathawayIn my view, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) (BRK.B) is the obvious top choice to be the next stock with a $1 trillion market cap. Berkshire currently ranks behind Amazon as the stock that's closest to the magic number, with its market cap of around $674 billion.How can Berkshire Hathaway add another 50% to its current valuation over the next seven years? One possibility is to put its enormous cash stockpile to work. The company continues to buy back its shares quite a bit, which boosts the value of the remaining shares. Warren Buffett and his team have also invested in other publicly traded companies, including adding to Berkshire's stake in four companies in the fourth quarter of 2022.Berkshire also benefits from overall economic growth. Revenue and profits for the company's insurance, railroad, and energy businesses should increase nicely if the economy performs well in the coming years. Berkshire's equity holdings, notably including Apple, could help propel its own stock higher, too.Perhaps the biggest potential obstacle to Berkshire's market cap reaching $1 trillion is Buffett's health. Many investors are drawn to the stock in large part because of the legendary investor's mystique. Buffett will be 93 in August. Should his health fail, Berkshire stock could fall. For now, though, he appears to be in good health and remains actively involved with the company.2. NvidiaNvidia (NVDA) stands out as another stock that could realistically hit the $1 trillion market by 2030. The company admittedly has a long way to go to reach the level, with its market cap currently around $573 billion. However, I think Nvidia has what it takes.Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks are sizzling-hot right now -- Nvidia is no exception. While the sizzle could fizzle temporarily, the long-term prospects for Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) in powering AI applications look very bright. As a case in point, the company recently announced the launch of an AI-as-a-service product that will be available through all the major cloud-hosting providers. This new offering will enable any enterprise to use AI.While AI is Nvidia's biggest opportunity, it's not the only one. The company made its name in the gaming market. Although gaming faces headwinds right now, they should only be temporary. Other significant growth drivers for Nvidia include its Omniverse virtual collaboration and simulation platform and its self-driving car technology.It's possible that Nvidia's valuation could get in the way of its march to $1 trillion. The stock already has a lot of growth baked into the price, with shares trading at more than 48 times expected earnings. Nvidia could also encounter increased competition over the next few years. Still, I'll be more surprised if the stock doesn't have a $1 trillion market cap by 2030 than if it does.3. VisaVisa (V) might seem like something of a longshot to reach a market cap of $1 trillion. The financial services giant isn't even halfway there right now, with its market cap below $454 billion. But don't dismiss Visa's chances.Stock prices and market caps tend to follow earnings. All Visa has to do to join the $1 trillion club is what it's been doing. The company's earnings have increased by more than 120% over the past seven years. If Visa keeps up this trend, it should easily attain a market cap of at least $1 trillion by 2030.I don't think Visa will have major problems with earnings growth. The company operates one of the world's two largest payment rails. The shift away from cash to digital payments appears to be an unstoppable trend. Some have speculated that blockchain could disrupt Visa's business model. But the company has fully embraced blockchain and could actually be helped more than hurt by the technology.Could anything prevent Visa from getting to the $1 trillion level? One thing that comes to mind is that the company has a new CEO as of Feb. 1, 2023. Successful businesses can sometimes stumble after transitions at the top. However, I expect Visa won't skip a beat with a new person at the helm.Other potential candidatesThere are other potential candidates that could also attain market caps of $1 trillion or more by 2030. Tesla, ExxonMobil, and UnitedHealth Group especially stand out. But I think Berkshire, Nvidia, and Visa appear to be the best bets to reach the mark within the next seven years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":79,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9957658602,"gmtCreate":1677233324406,"gmtModify":1677233327958,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579899712012688","authorIdStr":"3579899712012688"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good ideas!","listText":"Good ideas!","text":"Good ideas!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":11,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9957658602","repostId":"2313586486","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2313586486","pubTimestamp":1677226047,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2313586486?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-02-24 16:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Chip Stocks to Consider in 2023","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2313586486","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"AMD, Nvidia, and Marvell Technology all have catalysts that should excite investors.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The semiconductor industry has been one of the larger focal points of economists and lawmakers over the last couple of years.

The stock cratered over 50% during calendar 2022, but is up roughly 19% year to date. Given the positive momentum experienced by competitors, namely Nvidia, some retail investors have likely averaged down or initiated positions in Marvell suspecting it is undervalued.</p><p>For the fiscal third quarter of 2023, ended Oct. 29, 2022, Marvell reported total revenue of $1.5 billion, or 27% year-over-year growth, which was a company record. Similar to AMD, Marvell generated impressive growth from its data center segment. Revenue from data centers came in at $627 million for fiscal Q3, which was 25% growth year over year.</p><p>The semiconductor landscape and the end markets it powers, such as cloud and enterprise networking, should continue to grow in the long run. While Marvell is much smaller than AMD and Nvidia in terms of revenue and market capitalization, the company is poised to succeed and continue gaining market share.</p><h2>Exciting is an understatement</h2><p>Nvidia is possibly the most exciting name in the semiconductor space. The company is investing aggressively to build what it calls the omniverse, which leverages quantum computing and robotics to construct interactive spatial models or renderings in real time. While this this type of technology sounds like something out of science fiction, it is developing and coming sooner than one might think. The use cases and end markets for this augmented reality are limitless.</p><p>Like its colleagues, Nvidia is not immune to supply chain disruptions and consumer sentiment around inflation. Furthermore, while the crypto market loses some enthusiasm, miners for tokens may not be as eager to upgrade hardware devices like graphic processing units, which can affect Nvidia&#39;s top and bottom lines.</p><p>Despite these challenges, Silicon Valley venture capitalist and CEO of Altimeter Capital, Brad Gerstner, recently revealed during a CNBC interview that he had acquired a stake in Nvidia stock. The driving factor behind his bullish thesis revolves around the concept of artificial intelligence (AI).</p><p>As digital transformation becomes a core focus of companies of all sizes and industries, the AI landscape witnessed a flood of investment over the last couple of years. Perhaps most notable are the heavy investments big tech companies like Microsoft and <b>Alphabet</b> are making in AI. Gerstner believes Nvidia is leading the AI race and could evolve into the nucleus, powering smart applications globally.</p><p>Nvidia stock rocketed about 62% year to date as of the time of this writing. Long-term investors should not be deterred by such a short-term jolt in the stock. The company operates in a growing market and is quickly becoming the industry leader. Long-term investors should consider now to be an opportune time to buy the stock.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Chip Stocks to Consider in 2023</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Chip Stocks to Consider in 2023\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-02-24 16:07 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/02/23/3-chip-stocks-to-consider-in-2023/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The semiconductor industry has been one of the larger focal points of economists and lawmakers over the last couple of years.

Given the positive momentum experienced by competitors, namely Nvidia, some retail investors have likely averaged down or initiated positions in Marvell suspecting it is undervalued.For the fiscal third quarter of 2023, ended Oct. 29, 2022, Marvell reported total revenue of $1.5 billion, or 27% year-over-year growth, which was a company record. Similar to AMD, Marvell generated impressive growth from its data center segment. Revenue from data centers came in at $627 million for fiscal Q3, which was 25% growth year over year.The semiconductor landscape and the end markets it powers, such as cloud and enterprise networking, should continue to grow in the long run. While Marvell is much smaller than AMD and Nvidia in terms of revenue and market capitalization, the company is poised to succeed and continue gaining market share.Exciting is an understatementNvidia is possibly the most exciting name in the semiconductor space. The company is investing aggressively to build what it calls the omniverse, which leverages quantum computing and robotics to construct interactive spatial models or renderings in real time. While this this type of technology sounds like something out of science fiction, it is developing and coming sooner than one might think. The use cases and end markets for this augmented reality are limitless.Like its colleagues, Nvidia is not immune to supply chain disruptions and consumer sentiment around inflation. Furthermore, while the crypto market loses some enthusiasm, miners for tokens may not be as eager to upgrade hardware devices like graphic processing units, which can affect Nvidia's top and bottom lines.Despite these challenges, Silicon Valley venture capitalist and CEO of Altimeter Capital, Brad Gerstner, recently revealed during a CNBC interview that he had acquired a stake in Nvidia stock. The driving factor behind his bullish thesis revolves around the concept of artificial intelligence (AI).As digital transformation becomes a core focus of companies of all sizes and industries, the AI landscape witnessed a flood of investment over the last couple of years. Perhaps most notable are the heavy investments big tech companies like Microsoft and Alphabet are making in AI. Gerstner believes Nvidia is leading the AI race and could evolve into the nucleus, powering smart applications globally.Nvidia stock rocketed about 62% year to date as of the time of this writing. Long-term investors should not be deterred by such a short-term jolt in the stock. The company operates in a growing market and is quickly becoming the industry leader. Long-term investors should consider now to be an opportune time to buy the stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":74,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9957575439,"gmtCreate":1677460389922,"gmtModify":1677460394108,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579899712012688","authorIdStr":"3579899712012688"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Afraid the US stock tumble n need to last for many yrs to recover back.... like Japanese economy stagnant not moving!","listText":"Afraid the US stock tumble n need to last for many yrs to recover back.... like Japanese economy stagnant not moving!","text":"Afraid the US stock tumble n need to last for many yrs to recover back.... like Japanese economy stagnant not moving!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9957575439","repostId":"1146690812","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1146690812","pubTimestamp":1677453371,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1146690812?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-02-27 07:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Stocks Are in the \"Death Zone.\" How Dividends Can Help","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1146690812","media":"Barron's","summary":"U.S. stocks have entered the “death zone,” a top Wall Street strategist wrote this past week.

He has found that dividend stocks have tended to outperform by several percentage points during recessions, and that they trade at a 15% to 20% discount to the market now.

The launch of ChatGPT has pushed AI into full focus, with the chatbot reaching 1 million users in less than one week. This new technology is revolutionizing entire fields, performing many human tasks from office work to construction. It is also helping companies take significant steps forward toward producing fully autonomous vehicles. Whether you’re excited by the rise of AI or nervous about what it will mean for the future of humanity, it is impossible not to pay attention to it. For investors, this means assessing the best AI stocks to buy as the market’s newest gold rush continues</p><p><em>InvestorPlace</em> analyst Luke Lango sees tremendous opportunity in the new AI boom. He recently described the industry as having a moment similar to the release of the iPhone, which changed everything for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AAPL\">Apple </a>. In his words:</p><blockquote>“The AI megatrend is just getting started. ChatGPT really kickstarted this AI frenzy back in November 2022. We’re basically just seven months into the AI Boom. By comparison, the Internet Boom lasted almost 10 years – from the launch of the world’s first website in 1991 to the peak of the dot-com bubble in 2000. Compared to other big booms like gold in the 1970s, housing in the 2000s, and cryptos in the 2010s, this AI Boom is still both relatively young and small. It has a lot of runway ahead of it.”</blockquote><p>More and more companies are embracing the new technology, implementing machine learning and generative AI in their operations and products.</p><p>This means that the best AI stocks to buy aren’t always firms that operate strictly in the space. Companies across multiple sectors can offer investors exposure to the booming market as they double down on AI investment.</p><p>What are the best buys for investors seeking to cash in? Let’s take a closer look at the best AI stocks that still have room to run.</p><h2 id=\"id_3544801079\">AI Stocks to Buy: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE\">Adobe</a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/31a67376d189f3d1a70b923c79677edb\" alt=\"Source: r.classen / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: r.classen / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: r.classen / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>While it’s perhaps best known as the maker of Photoshop, <strong>Adobe</strong> has a long history of innovation in the graphic design and document management space. It surged during the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020, and while ADBE stock has since come down, it is making impressive progress, up 50% in 2023. It has demonstrated strong fundamentals, reporting better-than-expected earnings for Q2 2023. As a result, Wall Street analysts are optimistic about its growth prospects heading into the second half of the year.</p><p>The AI boom should give investors and analysts even more reason to embrace ADBE stock.</p><p>As the economy transitions toward further reliance on AI, Adobe is primed to ride this wave to the top. It is incorporating generative AI into its well-known products. In May 2023, it added AI as a “Creative Co-Pilot” to Photoshop to enhance the beloved software’s features. This will likely make it an even more popular tool among graphic design professionals and other creatives who depend upon it, making ADBE a clear choice among AI stocks to buy.</p><h2 id=\"id_1561524626\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GOOGL\">Alphabet</a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c09b9cca987ad6036cb42deb4c512c48\" alt=\"Source: salarko / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: salarko / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: salarko / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>All Silicon Valley giants are working overtime to help spur the AI revolution. It’s no surprise that Google’s parent company would be at the forefront.</p><p><strong>Alphabet </strong>got off to a somewhat rocky start when its AI chatbot Bard displayed clear misinformation. However, the company’s significant progress on the AI front shouldn’t go unappreciated.</p><p>In the months since, Google hasn’t slowed down in its quest to dominate this market. As the <em>MIT Technology Review</em> reports, it’s “throwing generative AI at everything,” applying it to products both past and present. Google’s PaLM 2 language model is already part of 25 products, including Google Maps, Google Sheets and Gmail. The company plans on using this new tech to help improve the user search experience too.</p><p>No matter where the AI market goes from here, Alphabet will lead the movement. It has the size and resources to invest in research and development wherever it needs to and scale production at any time.</p><h2 id=\"id_304089400\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMZN\">Amazon </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f4f663eb75dd9ab11109dd605e74b777\" alt=\"Source: Mike Mareen / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: Mike Mareen / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: Mike Mareen / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>For all the attention it has received, the modern AI revolution did not begin with ChatGPT. It really began when <strong>Amazon</strong> introduced the world to its Alexa device in 2014. Since then, the world has become accustomed to turning on lights, music and many other things through voice commands. Years later, Amazon has only redoubled its focus in AI, using it to optimize its products and services. The company is working to increase the speed at which it delivers packages by using AI to help it strategically place inventory.</p><p>Unlike many of its Big Tech rivals, Amazon isn’t necessarily trying to produce a chatbot of its own to rival ChatGPT. Moreover, it has decided to provide users with the tools they need to build their own. It responded to the rise of the chatbot by adding two new AI language models to its Amazon Web Services platform.</p><p>Amazon is also highly focused on robotics. It is attempting to acquire <strong>iRobot</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong>IRBT</strong>), the company behind the Roomba vacuum cleaner. More recently, it announced a partnership with AI startup <strong>Hugging Face</strong>, a software development hub that counts many tech sector giants as clients. Like Alphabet, Amazon is in an excellent position to continue growing by cornering new parts of the AI market.</p><h2 id=\"id_1071008481\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADSK\">Autodesk </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/caa0287ec782f19c5a593f1fe415564f\" alt=\"Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>Contrary to its name, <strong>Autodesk</strong> doesn’t operate strictly in the automotive space. It is actually a dynamic software producer that supports many companies across multiple sectors, primarily serving architects and engineers. Its primary software products are Revit and Fusion 360, which are geared toward architectural design and manufacturing. These programs help make Autodesk a great bet for investors seeking AI exposure. As <em>InvestorPlace</em> contributor Vandita Jadeja reports:</p><blockquote>“These two are the main products of the company and using generative AI for the same will pay off in the long-term. Through these tools, engineers can set a range of parameters and have the software run simulations. It can save a lot of time and money. Its products can build structures and 3D animations which will help meet the changing demands of the industry.”</blockquote><p>It may not be a name that immediately comes to mind when someone thinks of AI stocks to buy. That said, Autodesk’s technology is likely to see a surge in demand as the AI revolution continues to develop.</p><p>As Jadeja also notes, it successfully meets the needs of a very large industry and one in which there isn’t much competition. Additionally, the company boasts strong financials and encouraging growth prospects. While ADSK stock has been fairly volatile over the past year, it is poised to ride the AI boom to new heights. </p><h2 id=\"id_294691448\">AI Stocks to Buy: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BIDU\">Baidu </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6a67c9339674e4c29ab63601571a5c71\" alt=\"Source: Andrey Solovev / Shutterstock.com\" title=\"Source: Andrey Solovev / Shutterstock.com\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: Andrey Solovev / Shutterstock.com</span></p><p>A leader in China’s tech market, Baidu has a reach that spans many sectors, including IT, electronics and electric vehicles.

It recently claimed that its Ernie AI model has outperformed the chatbot “in comprehensive ability scores” and outperformed “GPT-4 in several Chinese capabilities.”</p><p>Baidu’s plans for AI don’t stop at its chatbot, though. It is making significant progress delivering driverless taxis to various Chinese cities. And while some companies are acquiring AI startups, Baidu has announced plans to roll out a venture fund to invest in companies that focus on AI applications that generate content. This could give it valuable exposure to some of the market’s hottest new AI innovators before they go public, thereby sending shares soaring.</p><p>As <em>InvestorPlace</em> contributor Chris MacDonald noted, while U.S. investors often overlook BIDU stock, the AI boom is a great reminder why they shouldn’t.</p><h2 id=\"id_1415294707\"><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BGRY\">Berkshire Grey </a></h2><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fdcfed9943c09a17e9dc8e53835b4d1a\" alt=\"Source: Shutterstock\" title=\"Source: Shutterstock\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\"/><span>Source: Shutterstock</span></p><p>This little-known penny stock is one of the companies helping shape the future of work.</p><p>Despite its name, <strong>Berkshire Grey</strong>  isn’t owned by Warren Buffett.

For years, this innovative DevOps platform has helped tech developers and teams build software. It enables collaboration which has been of paramount importance in the age of remote work. Now, more and more companies are rushing to enter the AI race while entrepreneurs are scrambling to build the next great AI startup. Both these trends stand to create significant demand for a platform like GitLab. As Sirois notes:</p><blockquote>“The reason that investors are so focused on GitLab is clear. The company has rapidly added AI features to its platform (10 recently), and posted revenue that was $9 million above analyst expectations, at $127 million.

This clean energy leader has risen more than 35% year to date (YTD). While it may not instantly come to mind when you think of AI stocks, that doesn’t mean it should be counted out.</p><p>Like all innovative manufacturers, First Solar has found ways to incorporate AI into its production to help improve its output and efficiency. In June 2021, the company invested $680 million in expanding its manufacturing capacity by building a new facility in Ohio. It stated that the new facility would “produce a higher degree of automation, precision, and continuous improvement” by combining worker power with AI and IOT connectivity.</p><p>First Solar also offers investors AI exposure through partnerships. It has teamed up with <strong>Microsoft</strong> to help the tech giant achieve its goal of becoming carbon neutral. Microsoft has made it clear that this will be achieved by further harnessing the growing power of AI and data science.

Innodata operates in the business process solution space, helping companies solve complex data and engineering challenges through AI. And while it isn’t a household name yet, the company’s growth speaks for itself. InvestorPlace contributor Ian Cooper notes that for all the explosive growth it has seen recently, INOD stock has plenty of room to run as the AI boom powers it higher. In his words:</p><blockquote>“[The company] was selected by a leading cloud infrastructure and platform services company to provide large-scale data collection for a new AI computer vision initiative. Innodata also just signed a significant application re-engineering agreement to enable a customer to more fully leverage Innodata-built artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) models.”</blockquote><p>Cooper also notes that Innodata could stand to benefit from the increasing trend of tech giants acquiring smaller AI firms.

That alone would be enough to earn MSFT a place on a list of the top AI stocks to buy. But the company has plenty of other projects that make it worth betting on for investors seeking AI exposure. Its cloud computing platform Microsoft Azure includes many important features such as tools for users to create their own AI solutions.</p><p>Like its Big Tech peers, Microsoft has the resources to continue scaling its operations. It offers users the opportunity to do almost any business-related task that involves AI, from developing conversational AI bots to complex machine learning models.

The launch of ChatGPT has pushed AI into full focus, with the chatbot reaching 1 million users in less than one week. This new technology is revolutionizing entire fields, performing many human tasks from office work to construction. It is also helping companies take significant steps forward toward producing fully autonomous vehicles. Whether you’re excited by the rise of AI or nervous about what it will mean for the future of humanity, it is impossible not to pay attention to it. For investors, this means assessing the best AI stocks to buy as the market’s newest gold rush continuesInvestorPlace analyst Luke Lango sees tremendous opportunity in the new AI boom. He recently described the industry as having a moment similar to the release of the iPhone, which changed everything for Apple . In his words:“The AI megatrend is just getting started. ChatGPT really kickstarted this AI frenzy back in November 2022. We’re basically just seven months into the AI Boom. By comparison, the Internet Boom lasted almost 10 years – from the launch of the world’s first website in 1991 to the peak of the dot-com bubble in 2000. Compared to other big booms like gold in the 1970s, housing in the 2000s, and cryptos in the 2010s, this AI Boom is still both relatively young and small. It has a lot of runway ahead of it.”More and more companies are embracing the new technology, implementing machine learning and generative AI in their operations and products.This means that the best AI stocks to buy aren’t always firms that operate strictly in the space. Companies across multiple sectors can offer investors exposure to the booming market as they double down on AI investment.What are the best buys for investors seeking to cash in? Let’s take a closer look at the best AI stocks that still have room to run.AI Stocks to Buy: AdobeSource: r.classen / Shutterstock.comWhile it’s perhaps best known as the maker of Photoshop, Adobe has a long history of innovation in the graphic design and document management space. It surged during the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020, and while ADBE stock has since come down, it is making impressive progress, up 50% in 2023. It has demonstrated strong fundamentals, reporting better-than-expected earnings for Q2 2023. As a result, Wall Street analysts are optimistic about its growth prospects heading into the second half of the year.The AI boom should give investors and analysts even more reason to embrace ADBE stock.As the economy transitions toward further reliance on AI, Adobe is primed to ride this wave to the top. It is incorporating generative AI into its well-known products. In May 2023, it added AI as a “Creative Co-Pilot” to Photoshop to enhance the beloved software’s features. This will likely make it an even more popular tool among graphic design professionals and other creatives who depend upon it, making ADBE a clear choice among AI stocks to buy.AlphabetSource: salarko / Shutterstock.comAll Silicon Valley giants are working overtime to help spur the AI revolution. It’s no surprise that Google’s parent company would be at the forefront.Alphabet got off to a somewhat rocky start when its AI chatbot Bard displayed clear misinformation. However, the company’s significant progress on the AI front shouldn’t go unappreciated.In the months since, Google hasn’t slowed down in its quest to dominate this market. As the MIT Technology Review reports, it’s “throwing generative AI at everything,” applying it to products both past and present. Google’s PaLM 2 language model is already part of 25 products, including Google Maps, Google Sheets and Gmail. The company plans on using this new tech to help improve the user search experience too.No matter where the AI market goes from here, Alphabet will lead the movement. It has the size and resources to invest in research and development wherever it needs to and scale production at any time.Amazon Source: Mike Mareen / Shutterstock.comFor all the attention it has received, the modern AI revolution did not begin with ChatGPT. It really began when Amazon introduced the world to its Alexa device in 2014. Since then, the world has become accustomed to turning on lights, music and many other things through voice commands. Years later, Amazon has only redoubled its focus in AI, using it to optimize its products and services. The company is working to increase the speed at which it delivers packages by using AI to help it strategically place inventory.Unlike many of its Big Tech rivals, Amazon isn’t necessarily trying to produce a chatbot of its own to rival ChatGPT. Moreover, it has decided to provide users with the tools they need to build their own. It responded to the rise of the chatbot by adding two new AI language models to its Amazon Web Services platform.Amazon is also highly focused on robotics. It is attempting to acquire iRobot (NASDAQ:IRBT), the company behind the Roomba vacuum cleaner. More recently, it announced a partnership with AI startup Hugging Face, a software development hub that counts many tech sector giants as clients. Like Alphabet, Amazon is in an excellent position to continue growing by cornering new parts of the AI market.Autodesk Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.comContrary to its name, Autodesk doesn’t operate strictly in the automotive space. It is actually a dynamic software producer that supports many companies across multiple sectors, primarily serving architects and engineers. Its primary software products are Revit and Fusion 360, which are geared toward architectural design and manufacturing. These programs help make Autodesk a great bet for investors seeking AI exposure. As InvestorPlace contributor Vandita Jadeja reports:“These two are the main products of the company and using generative AI for the same will pay off in the long-term. Through these tools, engineers can set a range of parameters and have the software run simulations. It can save a lot of time and money. Its products can build structures and 3D animations which will help meet the changing demands of the industry.”It may not be a name that immediately comes to mind when someone thinks of AI stocks to buy. That said, Autodesk’s technology is likely to see a surge in demand as the AI revolution continues to develop.As Jadeja also notes, it successfully meets the needs of a very large industry and one in which there isn’t much competition. Additionally, the company boasts strong financials and encouraging growth prospects. While ADSK stock has been fairly volatile over the past year, it is poised to ride the AI boom to new heights. AI Stocks to Buy: Baidu Source: Andrey Solovev / Shutterstock.comA leader in China’s tech market, Baidu has a reach that spans many sectors, including IT, electronics and electric vehicles. It stands to reason that such a dynamic tech company would be focused on incorporating AI into its operations and Baidu is doing exactly that. But this Chinese tech innovator is taking it further and attempting to develop its own answer to ChatGPT. It recently claimed that its Ernie AI model has outperformed the chatbot “in comprehensive ability scores” and outperformed “GPT-4 in several Chinese capabilities.”Baidu’s plans for AI don’t stop at its chatbot, though. It is making significant progress delivering driverless taxis to various Chinese cities. And while some companies are acquiring AI startups, Baidu has announced plans to roll out a venture fund to invest in companies that focus on AI applications that generate content. This could give it valuable exposure to some of the market’s hottest new AI innovators before they go public, thereby sending shares soaring.As InvestorPlace contributor Chris MacDonald noted, while U.S. investors often overlook BIDU stock, the AI boom is a great reminder why they shouldn’t.Berkshire Grey Source: ShutterstockThis little-known penny stock is one of the companies helping shape the future of work.Despite its name, Berkshire Grey  isn’t owned by Warren Buffett. Based in Massachusetts, this AI innovator produces intelligent robotic automation solutions for industries such as e-commerce and retail. As noted, industry-leader Amazon is focused on optimizing AI to help reduce operating costs and maximize shipping efficiency. This means that companies in Berkshire Grey’s space will likely see a surge in demand for their robotic solutions as these trends take over and human workers are gradually phased out.BRGY stock has been fairly volatile lately, but it currently trades at less than $1.50 per share. That should be highly enticing for investors who can stomach some risk. Penny stocks can make potential buyers nervous, but there are some key reasons to be optimistic about Berkshire Grey. As InvestorPlace contributor Alex Sirois reports, it touts “impressive productivity increases, including a 70% reduction in overhead costs and 90% faster truck unload times for its customers.” Amazon and its peers are likely to take notice and when they do, BGRY could skyrocket out of the penny stock category.BYD Company Source: shutterstock.com/Trygve FinkelsenOne of the most exciting aspects of the AI revolution is the possibility that it will take us to a future with driverless cars.Electric vehicle producers are laser-focused on reaching this goal before their competitors do. While Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is getting most of the attention, investors would be better served to focus on other automakers. BYD Company (OTCMKTS:BYDDY) is quietly leading China’s EV race and it is doubling down on incorporating AI in its vehicles. It has partnered with industry-leading chipmaker Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) to bring the cutting edge DRIVE Orin platform to its new energy vehicles.More recently, the company took a major step forward when it partnered with AI and metaverse innovator MeetKai. On July 11, the latter announced the launch of BYD World, an “interactive virtual dealership experience dedicated to providing new opportunities for customers to interact with the BYD brand and its products in Americas.” This could be BYD’s ticket into the U.S. market after it has already sold more vehicles than Tesla in China. This type of innovation makes it an excellent bet among both EV and AI stocks to buy as it gears up to expand its global reach. It has been touted as having the potential to reach a trillion-dollar valuation.CrowdStrike Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.comWe can’t talk about markets being changed by AI without discussing cybersecurity. CrowdStrikehas been dominating that field for years, offering cybersecurity and data protection. Now AI is poised to help improve the tech solutions upon which many companies depend. Forbes reports that “76% of enterprises have prioritized AI and machine learning in their IT budgets.” Additionally, demand for cybersecurity services is growing faster than the human workforce. This means that the  firms prioritizing AI will have a clear advantage. And CrowdStrike is at the forefront of this movement. It recently introduced Charlotte AI, a generative AI analyst created to help users navigate its CrowdStrike Falcon platform.This isn’t CrowdStrike’s first foray into AI, either. Far from it. In August 2022, the company rolled out AI-powered indicators of attack (IOAs), created by “cloud-native machine learning models.” On top of that, CRWD has continuously earned its place among both cybersecurity and AI stocks to buy.GitLab Source: Lori Butcher / Shutterstock.comThe current AI-centric economic landscape puts companies like GitLab in a perfect position. For years, this innovative DevOps platform has helped tech developers and teams build software. It enables collaboration which has been of paramount importance in the age of remote work. Now, more and more companies are rushing to enter the AI race while entrepreneurs are scrambling to build the next great AI startup. Both these trends stand to create significant demand for a platform like GitLab. As Sirois notes:“The reason that investors are so focused on GitLab is clear. The company has rapidly added AI features to its platform (10 recently), and posted revenue that was $9 million above analyst expectations, at $127 million. GitLab’s CEO Sid Sijbrandij was resolute in his belief that AI will help GitLab to make software for organizations faster than it could prior.”AI Stocks to Buy: First Solar Source: IgorGolovniov / Shutterstock.comDespite some volatility over the past six months, First Solar has repeatedly proven that it can’t be kept down. This clean energy leader has risen more than 35% year to date (YTD). While it may not instantly come to mind when you think of AI stocks, that doesn’t mean it should be counted out.Like all innovative manufacturers, First Solar has found ways to incorporate AI into its production to help improve its output and efficiency. In June 2021, the company invested $680 million in expanding its manufacturing capacity by building a new facility in Ohio. It stated that the new facility would “produce a higher degree of automation, precision, and continuous improvement” by combining worker power with AI and IOT connectivity.First Solar also offers investors AI exposure through partnerships. It has teamed up with Microsoft to help the tech giant achieve its goal of becoming carbon neutral. Microsoft has made it clear that this will be achieved by further harnessing the growing power of AI and data science. First Solar has been making ample use of Microsoft’s technologies for some time, demonstrating the importance of AI for the manufacturing and clean energy markets.Hyundai Motors Source: shutterstock.com/AntonovVitaliiThis South Korean automaker doesn’t get as much attention as other car names. But to overlook Hyundai would be to make a critical mistake.In June 2021, it completed the acquisition of Boston Dynamics, a company with years of progress demonstrating the power of robotic technology. One year later, it announced plans to launch the Boston Dynamics AI Institute, a project geared toward advancing AI and robotics. The company has already demonstrated progress on this front, sharing a video on its website of a robot helping potential buyers shop for cars.Hyundai’s AI advancements don’t stop there. It is also highly focused on autonomous driving. As part of this, it announced that its IONIQ 5 robo-taxi would be hitting the streets in 2023. One of its South Korea-based affiliates has partnered with leading chipmaker Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) to further its autonomous driving tech. If this progress continues, Hyundai is likely to pose a threat to the other automakers who want to win the driverless race.Innodata Source: carlos castilla/ShutterstockYou might not know the name Innodata, but if you’re seeking cheap AI stocks to buy before they explode, you absolutely should.This company has surged more than 200% over the past six months and it still trades at less than $11 per share. Innodata operates in the business process solution space, helping companies solve complex data and engineering challenges through AI. And while it isn’t a household name yet, the company’s growth speaks for itself. InvestorPlace contributor Ian Cooper notes that for all the explosive growth it has seen recently, INOD stock has plenty of room to run as the AI boom powers it higher. In his words:“[The company] was selected by a leading cloud infrastructure and platform services company to provide large-scale data collection for a new AI computer vision initiative. Innodata also just signed a significant application re-engineering agreement to enable a customer to more fully leverage Innodata-built artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) models.”Cooper also notes that Innodata could stand to benefit from the increasing trend of tech giants acquiring smaller AI firms. In either case, the company is a likely winner among lesser-known AI innovators.Luminar Technologies Source: JHVEPhoto/shutterstock.comAutomakers are focused on winning the driverless race… and Luminar is helping several industry leaders get there.This innovative startup produces lidar technology designed to make autonomous driving safer for everyone. It does this by helping vehicles detect their surroundings by sending out distance-measuring laser beams. And while Elon Musk has criticized this type of technology, he may live to eat his words. Other experts have praised Luminar’s innovations and speculated that its tech could help other automakers finish ahead of Tesla.There’s good reason for this optimism. Luminar remains highly focused on growth through partnerships. In June 2023, it announced an agreement to bring its AI-based driving software to automated trucking company Plus. Before that, it collaborated with autonomous driving leader Pony.ai on a new sensing platform. Automakers clearly trust Luminar’s technology to help them make driverless cars safe.Microsoft Source: NYCStock / Shutterstock.comAs one of the tech sector’s leading companies, it makes sense that Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) would be helping lead the charge toward an AI-driven future. This Silicon Valley behemoth has plenty going for it, none the least of which is its multibillion-dollar investment in ChatGPT maker OpenAI. That alone would be enough to earn MSFT a place on a list of the top AI stocks to buy. But the company has plenty of other projects that make it worth betting on for investors seeking AI exposure. Its cloud computing platform Microsoft Azure includes many important features such as tools for users to create their own AI solutions.Like its Big Tech peers, Microsoft has the resources to continue scaling its operations. It offers users the opportunity to do almost any business-related task that involves AI, from developing conversational AI bots to complex machine learning models. As the company continues incorporating advanced AI tools into its vast array of products, MSFT stock will only continue growing. Shares are up 50% over the past six months and they aren’t about to slow down as the AI boom picks up steam.MicroStrategy Source: JOCA_PH / Shutterstock.comWhen this company makes headlines, it’s often for crypto-related matters. After all, the business intelligence consultancy currently owns $4.6 billion in Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and its co-founder Michael Saylor is a leading Bitcoin evangelist.But MicroStrategy has been on a truly impressive winning streak recently, rising more than 200% over the past two quarters. The recent crypto rally has certainly helped, but it isn’t the only reason.Known for producing enterprise analytics software, this company has also been busy incorporating AI-based tools into its tech. Its Data Whisperer program features a chatbot that helps users understand their data. It also uses AI models to bring new insights to customers by evaluating data to spot new trends and outlying factors. Meanwhile, the company has been exploring partnerships with industry leaders. As InvestorPlace contributor Tyrik Torres notes:“Recently, MicroStrategy announced a multi-year partnership with Microsoft to integrate MicroStrategy’s analytics into Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI service. This makes it one of those AI stocks with triple digit returns potentially in the future.”Mobileye Global Source: VanderWolf Images / Shutterstock.comLike Luminar, Mobileye (NASDAQ:MBLY) is helping power the autonomous driving revolution.The company produces advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), which it claims have been deployed in more than 135 million vehicles. Pus, Mobileye produces both software and hardware systems, including chips and censors. This puts it in an excellent position to help automakers continue advancing toward a driverless future. In 2022, it began testing its tech in self-driving cars in both the U.S. and Germany in order to train its AI to handle a wider variety of road conditions.InvestorPlace contributor Tom Taulli sees MBLY as a potential winner among AI stocks to buy. He notes that while the company’s last earnings report did not thrill Wall Street, investors should regard it as an opportunity to pick up a valuable AI stock at a better valuation before it gains momentum. Taulli also adds that Mobileye comes with key advantages, such as a “patent portfolio, proprietary algorithms and rich data repositories.” All these factors could help MBLY keep rising as demand for autonomous driving solutions continues to grow.Nvidia Source: Poetra.RH / Shutterstock.comSince 2022, it’s been impossible to discuss AI stocks without the conversation turning to Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). To say that this chipmaker has been the breakout stock of the year would be an understatement. It reached a trillion-dollar market cap during the AI boom and it seems as though the Silicon Valley darling is there to stay. It has soared over 150% over the past six months and while this may not seem sustainable, the company is showing no signs of slowing down. Many companies depend on Nvidia’s products to continue their AI efforts. This includes ChatGPT, which is said to be powered by Nvidia chips.It doesn’t take much to see that this puts Nvidia in a position of power as the AI revolution rages on. In fact, it may be the most likely winner of the new AI-driven economy. Between the AI and metaverse, more and more companies will come to rely on Nvidia’s products, sending demand sky high. Simply having ChatGPT as a client would make it a clear choice among AI stocks to buy.But as InvestorPlace’s Louis Navellier notes, Nvidia’s potential far exceeds the chatbot. The economy is moving in a new direction, creating a wave that NVDA stock is perfectly tailored to ride.Palantir Technologies Source: Ascannio / Shutterstock.comThe rise of machine learning is an excellent development for Big Data analytics. This means that firms in the space will be working overtime to implement AI into their day-to-day operations. Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) is up more than 170% year to date as the firm that helps other companies embrace Big Data.The Financial Times recently described the rise of AI as the crisis that Palantir has been looking for. Palantir recently demonstrated its new AI platform’s military applications, and company insiders have claimed to be seeing “unprecedented demand” for it. Palantir also recently announced a partnership with autonomous drone technology producer AirMatrix, furthering its AI exposure even more.Rockwell Automation Source: JHVEPhoto / ShutterstockLango has described the AI boom as a “Mt. Everest-sized opportunity in AI robotics.” This means that established leaders in the space will have significant room to run as more companies prioritize automation. Rockwell Automation (NYSE:ROK) is exactly such a company. It focuses primarily on creating industrial automation and control systems, but its products and services are vast, spanning as far as cybersecurity and network solutions.Rockwell hasn’t seen the type of gains that some companies on this list have this year. Investors should be careful to see the big picture, though. ROK stock has been gradually gaining momentum as the AI boom has taken off, demonstrating slow-but-steady growth. The company boasts robust financials and a truly global reach that will only expand more as demand for its products continues. As a trusted leader in the automation space, Rockwell will have a clear advantage in the coming year.SoundHound AI Source: Tada Images / ShutterstockThis stock likely isn’t on the radar of too many investors. But SoundHound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) is worthy of investor attention.The company has already proven that its audio and speech recognition technology has major applications for industries such as food service and automotive, as well as for contact centers. Its conversational AI tools can help businesses with tasks such as answering phones and taking messages and reservations. As workers opt away from these jobs, more and more small businesses will be seeking automated solutions. If you need help answering the phone, SoundHound might have exactly what you need.Despite still trading below $5, SOUN stock has made impressive progress this year, rising 175% YTD. Cooper has also flagged it as a likely acquisition target, and with demand growing for its tech, it’s easy to see why. Additionally, SoundHound also saw a significant boost recently after being added to the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 indices. This will help the company gain legitimacy in the eyes of the financial community and will likely spur further investment.Splunk Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.comFor a leader in the workplace AI space, Splunk (NASDAQ:SPLK) hasn’t risen by as much as some of its peers. However, that just means investors have an opportunity to pick up a valuable stock at a discount.This company also helps clients analyze and sort through their data. If Palantir is benefitting from the new data boom, Splunk could very well follow. It also features a generative AI tool used to enhance user experiences. This interface also allows the user to create Splunk Processing Language (SPL) queries. All this is meant to make Splunk’s valuable features more accessible to users.On top of all that, the company recently reported fiscal Q1 2024 earnings and they did not disappoint. Splunk surpassed analyst estimates, reporting an 11% increase in revenue while annual recurring revenue rose by 16%. Even more impressive is its positive free cash flow, which saw a year-over-year (YOY) increase of 253%. When we consider all that, it’s not hard to see why Wall Street analysts remain highly bullish on SPLK stock.Stem Source: petrmalinak / ShutterstockAnother company that often gets overshadowed by its larger peers, Stem (NYSE:STEM) offers investors exposure to both the AI and clean energy markets.This perch at the intersection of these two growing sectors, combined with its low price point of less than $10, should make it an enticing play for investors who don’t mind a little risk. STEM stock has been on a winning streak this month, rising more than 26% and making it clear it doesn’t intend to slow down. Part of this is likely due to AI driven momentum. Stem’s Athena platform uses this new tech to maximize “energy asset performance and investments,” providing a valuable service. As I previously reported :“The rising costs of electricity are creating a highly favorable economic landscape for Stem. As more and more companies invest in clean energy solutions, programs like Athena will become necessary for management and efficiency purposes. Stem’s revenue has been rising steadily this year, but the company is poised to soar in the coming years as it plays a critical role in both the green and AI revolutions.”Symbotic Source: shutterstock.com/Allies InteractiveBased in Wilmington, Massachusetts, this warehouse automation innovator is also riding the robotics boom that Lango discussed. Symbotic (NASDAQ:SYM) has surged by an astonishing 275% YTD, proving just how powerful the demand for warehouse automation is. It produces both robots driven by AI and an automation platform for warehouses. It has partnered with retail powerhouses such as Walmart (NYSE:WMT) and Albertsons (NYSE:ACI). Other companies are likely to follow as demand for robotic solutions in warehouse and shipping facilities increases. This technology can allow companies to decrease their operating costs and increase shipping efficiency, making it a worthwhile investment.“Symbotic is also poised to benefit from higher spending by consumers on physical products, a phenomenon that I expect to begin occurring in earnest during the current quarter,” notes InvestorPlace contributor Larry Ramer.That’s just one of the reasons that Ramer considers SYM stock to be one of the best ways to gain AI exposure.Teradyne Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.comOne of the world’s largest robotic technology producers, Teradyne (NASDAQ:TER) designs and manufactures automatic test equipment but it also produces collaborative robots, designed to work alongside humans. The company has taken significant steps to expand its AI operations, acquiring both Universal Robots and Mobile Industrial Robots. These deals give it a sizable share of an already booming market that is likely to only increase as industry trends spur demand for the type of robotic solutions that Teradyne provides.Teradyne’s power lies in the fact that it both manufactures top-of-the-line equipment and creates robots designed to help automate away mundane tasks. Those are two areas in which demand isn’t fading, allowing it a clear pathway to growth. It has also partnered with companies in the automotive, defense and aerospace sectors, giving investors even more reason to bet on it. For these reasons, InvestorPlace contributor Faizan Farooque believes it has the potential to deliver “life-changing returns.”Wearable Devices Source: shutterstock.com/LDprodThis may seem like an unconventional choice for a list of the best AI stocks to buy. But pay attention.Wearable Devices is developing an AI-based “wearable neural interface” that could take it out of penny stock territory. Wearable Devices wants to put this device in the form of a wristband that can control technology with “subtle finger movements.”Earlier this year, the company received a $900,00 grant from the Israel Innovation Authority (IIA) to develop the neural interface, sending shares soaring. It has had an overall outstanding year, rising 215% YTD and still trading at less than $2 per share.If investors don’t mind some risk, WLDS could prove a highly profitable investment if it can get its flagship device to market. Its technology could prove to be the next big thing in AI, assuming it can keep developing it successfully.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":251,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9943726306,"gmtCreate":1679739013406,"gmtModify":1679739018702,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579899712012688","authorIdStr":"3579899712012688"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Dividend stocks!","listText":"Dividend stocks!","text":"Dividend stocks!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9943726306","repostId":"2321209113","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2321209113","pubTimestamp":1679702156,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2321209113?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-25 07:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 Value Stocks That Pay Monthly Dividends","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2321209113","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Broadmark Realty Capital (BRMK): Broadmark offers decent stability and high yield.Fortitude Gold (FT","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><b>Broadmark Realty Capital</b> (<b>BRMK</b>): Broadmark offers decent stability and high yield.</li><li><b>Fortitude Gold</b> (<b>FTCO</b>): Fortitute Gold benefits from societal concerns over the economy.</li><li><b>Realty Income</b> (<b>O</b>): Realty Income has a long history of dividend increases.</li><li>Continue reading for the complete list of value stocks that pay monthly dividends!</li></ul><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/abc2324329c37cf7dc196f1116b3b485\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"432\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Source: Dmitry Lobanov/Shutterstock.com</p><p>While fundamentally discounted ideas tend to generate plenty of attention, the holy grail in the equities sector could be value stocks that pay monthly dividends.

However, its payout ratio is 96.71%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":29,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9944117372,"gmtCreate":1681742672896,"gmtModify":1681742676828,"author":{"id":"3579899712012688","authorId":"3579899712012688","name":"DQuek","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0041a6750d53c4d39f0f9251bea439d3","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579899712012688","authorIdStr":"3579899712012688"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great suff!

The healthcare giant ended last year with $24 billion of cash and marketable securities against $40 billion of debt. That put its net debt at around $16 billion. It&#39;s an easily affordable level for a company that produced $17 billion of free cash flow last year.

The company paid $11.7 billion of dividends last year. That allowed it to generate excess cash, some of which it used to repurchase shares (about $2.5 billion last year).</p><p>The company has an exceptional track record of paying dividends. Last year was its 60th straight year of increasing its dividend. That puts Johnson &amp; Johnson in the elite group of Dividend Kings, companies with 50 or more years of dividend growth. </p><p>The healthcare company invests heavily in research and development ($14.6 billion in 2022) to drive future growth. It also uses its strong balance sheet to make acquisitions as opportunities arise (it bought Abiomed for $16.6 billion in cash last year). The company&#39;s growth-related investments should expand its cash flow, enabling Johnson &amp; Johnson to continue increasing its rock-solid dividend. That makes Johnson &amp; Johnson stock a great investment for those seeking an ultra-low-risk dividend. </p><h2>A cash flow machine</h2><p>Microsoft sits alongside Johnson &amp; Johnson as the only two companies with better credit than the U.S. Government. The tech behemoth backs that top-tier bond rating with an elite balance sheet. It ended last year with nearly $100 billion of cash, equivalents, and short-term investments. Meanwhile, Microsoft only had about $44 billion of long-term debt. </p><p>The technology titan also produces prodigious cash flows. Over the last six months, it generated over $34 billion of net cash from operating activities. That was more than three times its dividend outlay during that period ($9.7 billion). That enabled Microsoft to repurchase shares ($11 billion in the last six months) and make new investments and acquisitions ($13.5 billion in that timeframe). </p><p>Microsoft is one of the largest dividend payers in the country, distributing about $18 billion to its shareholders each year. Despite that sizable payout, it has a relatively low yield (less than 1%). However, the company has a solid history of growing its dividend. Microsoft increased the payout for the past 13 years, including by 10% late last year. </p><p>The tech giant should be able to continue growing its payout in the future. Microsoft is investing heavily to expand, including making several large-scale investments and acquisitions. It&#39;s recently extended its partnership with OpenAI (the developer of the popular ChatGTP AI program) by making a multiyear, multibillion investment into the company to accelerate its innovation. Microsoft is also working to acquire videogame maker <strong>Activision Blizzard</strong> for $68.7 billion in cash to expand its Xbox platform. Those growth drivers make Microsoft stock a potentially rewarding investment for those seeking a supremely sustainable and growing dividend. </p><h2>Super safe dividend stocks</h2><p>Microsoft and Johnson &amp; Johnson offer the lowest-risk dividends around. The companies have fortress-like balance sheets and generate substantial cash flows, putting their payouts on an extremely firm foundation. They&#39;re ideal dividend stocks for even the most risk-wary investor.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
