Alphabet And Meta Returns Since 2013Portfolio Visualizer PremiumIn fact, both have crushed even the red hot Nasdaq during one of the hottest tech bull runs in US history, delivering Buffett-like 25% returns that resulted in an 8X return.YchartsWhile the market is currently in a correction, and growth stocks have been especially hard hit, Meta has been crushed, falling into a 50% bear market.I've bought both growth legends in this correction, but one is a core growth name in my correction plan, and the other is a non-core holding.So let me explain why both Meta and Alphabet are great companies, worth owning, and even buying more of right now.However, a careful examination of both of their fundamentals makes it clear that Alphabet is the global king of digital marketing, and this is likely to remain the case for the foreseeable future.The Challenge Facing Digital Marketers Right NoweMarketerGOOG, FB, and Amazon (AMZN) have a triopoly on US digital marketing, commanding an estimated 65% of the market.Both GOOG and FB are losing market share to AMZN because Amazon's ads are 3X as effective at converting to actual sales.That's because Amazon has spent decades gathering customer sales data and knows what its customers want better than anyone on earth.Apple's (AAPL) recent privacy shift in iOS, makes it much easier to opt out of data tracking, and 62% of iPhone users have indeed opted out.This has proven a hammer blow to FB, which management says could cost it $10 billion in 2022 alone.GOOG is less at risk since it still has the search data it can use to optimize for targeted ads.AMZN is the least at risk since it relies far less on cookie tracking than its rivals.This kind of business model disruption is part of FB and GOOG's risk profile, which brings us to our first point of comparison.Long-Term Risk Management: Winner AlphabetHow do we quantify, monitor, and track such a complex risk profile? By doing what big institutions do.Material Financial ESG Risk Analysis: How Large Institutions Measure Total Risk4 Things You Need To Know To Profit From ESG InvestingWhat Investors Need To Know About

to undertake even more impressive buybacks.$380 billion in consensus buybacks through 202721% of shares at current valuationsNow let's consider one important profitability metric in particular.Return on capital or ROC is Joel Greenblatt's gold standard proxy for quality and moatiness.ROC = pre-tax profit/operating capital (the money it takes to run the business).S&P 500's average in 2021 was 14.6%

companies in their entirety one fact is clear.GOOG is a higher quality companyGOOG is a faster-growing company (with potentially 2X better long-term return potential than FB)GOOG has far better long-term risk management (to deal with the disruption the digital advertising industry is currently facing)GOOG has superior return on capital and a more stable moatWhile FB offers superior valuation and potentially double the short-term return potential, it's a speculative blue-chip currently going through the largest business pivot in the company's history.In contrast, GOOG is a faster-growing Ultra SWAN that is expected to buy back almost $400 billion worth of stock in the next five years, double that of FB.Simply put, if you can only buy one of these growth legends today, I recommend Alphabet, and that's why I have it as a core growth position in my correction plan.Not just for the next few weeks, but all of 2022 and beyond.Because at the end of the day, when you focus on safety

Here Are 6 Funds for the Rally’s Next Stage","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1112964874","media":"Barron's","summary":"Value managers are in the midst of what finally looks like a comeback. The questions for investors n","content":"<p>Value managers are in the midst of what finally looks like a comeback. The questions for investors now are just how long this value recovery can last, and how best to ride it.</p><p>The recovery comes as investors peel themselves away from pricey growth stocks to add some of the cheaper companies that are well positioned for a global economic rebound as the world emerges from the pandemic. And it follows a decade of underperformance that has been hard on the most battle-hardy contrarians. Storied value fund firms—including GMO, Royce Investment Partners, and Third Avenue Management—have suffered sharp outflows over the past decade, according toMorningstar.International Value Advisers, better known as IVA, announced in March that it would liquidate its two funds and shut down. Other value funds have shuttered or gravitated toward growthier fare in order to survive.</p><p>Yet things seem different now. Over the past couple of months, the Russell 1000 Value has outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth by the biggest margin in about two decades. That has offered some redemption for veteran value managers, such as the $28 billionOakmark International(ticker: OAKIX) manager David Herro, who recalls the pushback last spring when he gave clients his rationale for buyingDaimler(DAI.Germany) as its price cratered.</p><p>“Clients were saying, ‘Don’t you know we are going into a recession?’ You have to have the courage of conviction,” says Herro, who cited the company’s strong balance sheet and management. “If you didn’t stay true to your ditty, you don’t get the recovery we experienced in the second and fourth quarters.”</p><p>And what a recovery it has been. Funds like Herro’s saw returns of 50% or greater in the past year, repairing long-term performance records that had been tarnished by the past decade’s rough patch. Value, of course, comes in different flavors, and the recovery so far has been kindest to value managers who loaded up on deeply unloved materials, energy, and financial companies.</p><p>Rising interest rates have been a major catalyst for the shift toward value. But valuations, a recovery in profits, and portfolios that are underweight value stocks could keep the momentum going. However, the type of value stock that does better could shift as the year goes on, from lower-quality to higher-quality stocks that boast stronger returns on assets, equity, and capital, according to a recent client note from Bank of America strategist Savita Subramanian.</p><p>Investors looking to benefit from a value comeback might want a mix of funds positioned from the different stages of the recovery, in the U.S. and abroad. Here are six funds run by veteran managers with strong track records that have also done well in the past year’s rebound.</p><p>The $4.3 billionNeuberger Berman Large Cap Valuefund (NPNAX) bet big last year on some of the market’s most unloved sectors and reaped the rewards, returning 84% in the past year and beating 96% of its Morningstar peers.</p><p>Manager Eli Salzmann focused on sectors like materials, especially copper and gold, that have been starved for capital in recent years as money flocked to technology and consumer-discretionary companies. That “capacity deprivation” sets the stage for sharp margin growth as demand recovers for companies like Freeport-McMoRan (FCX). Not only does the copper miner benefit from a global economic recovery, but it’s also a backdoor into the shift to electric vehicles and clean energy—transitions that will require more copper and could extend the traditional recovery cycle, says Salzmann.</p><p>A similar trend is at play in energy, a sector that Salzmann says is learning from its mistakes, as companies allocate 60% to 80% of cash flows, rather than all of it, to capital spending.Exxon Mobil(XOM) has been a “dog of the dogs,” pursuing an aggressive growth strategy when investors wanted discipline and a focus on free cash flow, Salzmann says. But now, the company, a top holding, is focusing on its core business and has the right asset mix.</p><p>When the market fretted over the risks on banks’ loan portfolios last spring, Salzmann went on a shopping spree, adding to financials, including global giants likeBank of America(BAC) andJPMorgan Chase(JPM), as well as regional banks likeTruist Financial(TFC),Comerica(CMA), andRegions Financial(RF) that should get a bigger boost from loan growth and rising interest rates. Salzmann sees a more protracted, broader value recovery as the market enters a higher interest-rate environment amid the unprecedented amounts of fiscal and monetary policy around the world, as well as a period of deglobalization and increased protectionism that will raise prices.</p><p>Like Salzmann, Herro has been hunting in deeply unloved parts of the market—but abroad. That has taken him to continental Europe and the United Kingdom, which investors have neglected for roughly a decade amid concerns about defaults in countries like Greece, political volatility, and, more recently, Brexit. “It’s almost like the perfect storm after 10 years of a drought. Brexit is behind us, and a lot of what ailed European and international value is now in the rearview,” Herro says.</p><p>As the U.K. recovers from the pandemic and settles into life outside the European Union, Herro says strong and “severely overcapitalized” banks likeLloyds Banking Group(LYG) andNatWest Group(NWG) will benefit from pent-up demand for investing and borrowing that had been put off amid Brexit uncertainty.</p><p>Herro has also waded into Chinese internet companies during the sector’s rout in the past year.Alibaba GroupHolding (BABA) andTencent Holdings(700.Hong Kong), which Herro owns through South African internet groupNaspers(NPN.South Africa), have been hit hard in the past year amid regulatory concerns at home and geopolitical tensions with the U.S., creating value in companies with strong business models, he says.</p><p>Sarah Ketterer, co-manager of the $5.8 billionCauseway International Value(CIVVX), isn’t shopping much in the most battered sectors and isn’t sold on a meaningful rise in interest rates. Ketterer also thinks that the party in cyclicals may be winding down, especially after the 80% gains globally in these economically sensitive stocks since the first Covid-19 vaccine won approval late last year—another reason that traditional value sectors like financials and energy don’t interest her much. These sectors also face constraints to their growth, with energy, for example, facing an expensive long-term transition away from fossil fuels.</p><p>Instead, Ketterer sees more value these days in European drugmakers likeSanofi(SAN.France),Novartis(NOVN.Switzerland), andRoche Holding(ROG.Switzerland), which have suffered amid postponed elective surgeries and doctors’ visits. The companies are positioned for a recovery but also for a world where vaccines become more important, and ample free cash flow gives these companies the wherewithal to buy machine learning and other tools to speed up drug discovery and cut costs, says Ketterer.</p><p>Technology companies likeSAP(SAP) are also on her radar. “It’s a legacy software vendor—about as negative as it gets—but 70% of revenues are sticky,” Ketterer says. Plus, Ketterer says the company is led by a young, dynamic CEO, Christian Klein, who is in the early stages of a cloud transition and also taking subsidiaries public, creating what she describes as “one of those rare opportunities.”</p><p>Unlike Ketterer,Dodge &amp; Cox International Stock(DODFX) co-manager Diana Strandberg still sees upside in some of the cyclical sectors that have led the recovery—like financials, which account for 30% of the fund, including holdings such asBNP Paribas(BNP.France) andUBS Group(UBSG.Switzerland), and emerging market banks like India’sICICI Bank(IBN).</p><p>Many European and emerging market banks have spent the past decade rebuilding their capital and balance sheets, increasing their returns on assets and earnings power—and doing it in Europe against a negative interest-rate backdrop. Yet Strandberg says investors haven’t noticed that these banks aren’t what they were during the financial crisis. Earnings revisions are rising, yet many still trade at eight to 10 times earnings. Plus, since banks had to hold off on dividends and buybacks during the pandemic, Strandberg sees the possibility of these companies becoming big income stocks as capital distributions are resumed.</p><p>However, Strandberg cautions against a dogmatic approach and focusing on labels like deep value or relative value—or even classifying certain sectors or companies as value. The $42 billion value fund, which has about a fifth of assets in emerging markets, returned 4.6% on average over the past 15 years, beating 93% of its peers. “Labels are dangerous when you are investing,” Strandberg says. “The starting point matters, and that’s why we are always measuring valuations and fundamentals, but we keep an open mind and not just think we are a value manager so we buy ‘value’ stocks—not only is that changing, but also sometimes stocks are cheap because they should be.”</p><p>More recently, Strandberg and team have favored pharmaceuticals over consumer staples. While their valuations are similar, Strandberg sees greater upside from drugmakers’ research and development. She has favored companies that are in the midst of a restructuring or ones that are focused on areas like vaccines, immunology, and rare diseases that are more protected from regulatory concerns.</p><p>Restructuring opportunities are also attractive to T. Rowe Price Value (TRVLX) fund manager Mark Finn. He has been focusing lately on companies in the middle of the value spectrum—those not facing long-term problems—that are misunderstood or addressing self-inflicted problems, likeGeneral Electric(GE), which had made some ill-timed acquisitions and saddled its balance sheet with leverage. Now, though, Finn says that CEO Larry Culp is fixing many of the issues, and the company includes strong businesses like aircraft engines, power, and healthcare.</p><p>Finn, whose fund returned an average annual 12.1% over the past decade to beat 92% of peers, scooped up banks, discount retailers, and industrials likeDeere(DE) andCaterpillar(CAT) last spring, but is now looking elsewhere. “The cyclicals don’t scream real cheap right now. There’s a lot of optimism built into those.”</p><p>Instead, Finn sees more value in companies likeProcter &amp; Gamble(PG). The company is cheap, at 20 times cash flow, compared with its historical valuation and is in the midst of a turnaround. It has taken share in its major markets and has an underleveraged balance sheet, Finn says.</p><p>He also likes utilities such asDominion Energy(D) andXcel Energy(XEL) that have been hit as investors pursue higher-yielding options amid rising interest rates. Also attractive:Sherwin-Williams(SHW), which he says is cheap compared with historical valuations and tethered to the home-building and remodeling boom.</p><p>While not traditional value fare, technology companies, includingFacebook(FB) andSalesforce.com(CRM), have drawn Finn’s attention. He says Salesforce has a great business model that is well positioned for the recovery, but the stock is in investor no-man’s land, ignored by growth investors and not on value managers’ radar, even though it is in the Russell 1000 Value index.</p><p>Technology is also a heavy weighting at the $4 billionParnassus Endeavorfund (PARWX), which has beaten 98% of its peers over the past year without owning any energy or materials stocks. Since taking the sole reins after sustainable-investing pioneer Jerome Dodson’s retirement, fund manager Billy Hwan has increased risk management, reducing the heavy concentration in chip companies. Hwan has reallocated some of that money to higher-quality software and service companies likePaychex(PAYX), which he says is well positioned to help companies navigate remote work, flexible hours, and contractor relationships. While chip companies face a risk from continuing U.S.-China tensions, since they get more than half of sales from China, efforts to bolster U.S. chip production could help holdings likeMicron Technology(MU) andIntel(INTC).</p><p>The fund, which integrates environmental, social, and governance factors into its analysis, steers clear of deep value and areas in secular decline, instead focusing on higher-quality stocks that are misunderstood, likeHanesbrands(HBI). The company had struggled with acquisitions and competition in its underwear business, but new management is reducing the amount of products it sells and focusing on its fast-growing Champion brand, while also trying to cater to a younger demographics, Hwan says.</p><p>Stimulus has helped cushion household savings and given consumers a bit more to spend as they emerge from the pandemic. Hwan sees 2021 as the year of the consumer, a reason that 10% of the fund is in consumer credit companies likeMastercard(MA),American Express(AXP), andCapital One Financial(COF).</p><p>For investors looking for comparisons with other value rallies, Hwan sees more similarities between the current comeback and the one in 2000 after the dot-com bubble burst, than the recovery after the global financial crisis that tripped up value managers. “There’s nothing structurally wrong with the economy in terms of credit” as there was after the financial crisis, he says, “so I think the value rotation could last several years.”</p><p>Only time will tell whether he’s correct in his assessment, but investors may want to take a more holistic view of value as they try to ride the recovery in the near term.</p><p><b>Searching for Value</b></p><p>As the value rally runs on, investors should start gearing up for a shift in the nature of stocks that perform best.

The questions for investors now are just how long this value recovery can last, and how best to ride it.The recovery comes as investors peel themselves away from pricey growth stocks to add some of the cheaper companies that are well positioned for a global economic rebound as the world emerges from the pandemic. And it follows a decade of underperformance that has been hard on the most battle-hardy contrarians. Storied value fund firms—including GMO, Royce Investment Partners, and Third Avenue Management—have suffered sharp outflows over the past decade, according toMorningstar.International Value Advisers, better known as IVA, announced in March that it would liquidate its two funds and shut down. Other value funds have shuttered or gravitated toward growthier fare in order to survive.Yet things seem different now. Over the past couple of months, the Russell 1000 Value has outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth by the biggest margin in about two decades. That has offered some redemption for veteran value managers, such as the $28 billionOakmark International(ticker: OAKIX) manager David Herro, who recalls the pushback last spring when he gave clients his rationale for buyingDaimler(DAI.Germany) as its price cratered.“Clients were saying, ‘Don’t you know we are going into a recession?’ You have to have the courage of conviction,” says Herro, who cited the company’s strong balance sheet and management. “If you didn’t stay true to your ditty, you don’t get the recovery we experienced in the second and fourth quarters.”And what a recovery it has been. Funds like Herro’s saw returns of 50% or greater in the past year, repairing long-term performance records that had been tarnished by the past decade’s rough patch. Value, of course, comes in different flavors, and the recovery so far has been kindest to value managers who loaded up on deeply unloved materials, energy, and financial companies.Rising interest rates have been a major catalyst for the shift toward value. But valuations, a recovery in profits, and portfolios that are underweight value stocks could keep the momentum going. However, the type of value stock that does better could shift as the year goes on, from lower-quality to higher-quality stocks that boast stronger returns on assets, equity, and capital, according to a recent client note from Bank of America strategist Savita Subramanian.Investors looking to benefit from a value comeback might want a mix of funds positioned from the different stages of the recovery, in the U.S. and abroad. Here are six funds run by veteran managers with strong track records that have also done well in the past year’s rebound.The $4.3 billionNeuberger Berman Large Cap Valuefund (NPNAX) bet big last year on some of the market’s most unloved sectors and reaped the rewards, returning 84% in the past year and beating 96% of its Morningstar peers.Manager Eli Salzmann focused on sectors like materials, especially copper and gold, that have been starved for capital in recent years as money flocked to technology and consumer-discretionary companies. That “capacity deprivation” sets the stage for sharp margin growth as demand recovers for companies like Freeport-McMoRan (FCX). Not only does the copper miner benefit from a global economic recovery, but it’s also a backdoor into the shift to electric vehicles and clean energy—transitions that will require more copper and could extend the traditional recovery cycle, says Salzmann.A similar trend is at play in energy, a sector that Salzmann says is learning from its mistakes, as companies allocate 60% to 80% of cash flows, rather than all of it, to capital spending.Exxon Mobil(XOM) has been a “dog of the dogs,” pursuing an aggressive growth strategy when investors wanted discipline and a focus on free cash flow, Salzmann says. But now, the company, a top holding, is focusing on its core business and has the right asset mix.When the market fretted over the risks on banks’ loan portfolios last spring, Salzmann went on a shopping spree, adding to financials, including global giants likeBank of America(BAC) andJPMorgan Chase(JPM), as well as regional banks likeTruist Financial(TFC),Comerica(CMA), andRegions Financial(RF) that should get a bigger boost from loan growth and rising interest rates. Salzmann sees a more protracted, broader value recovery as the market enters a higher interest-rate environment amid the unprecedented amounts of fiscal and monetary policy around the world, as well as a period of deglobalization and increased protectionism that will raise prices.Like Salzmann, Herro has been hunting in deeply unloved parts of the market—but abroad. That has taken him to continental Europe and the United Kingdom, which investors have neglected for roughly a decade amid concerns about defaults in countries like Greece, political volatility, and, more recently, Brexit. “It’s almost like the perfect storm after 10 years of a drought. Brexit is behind us, and a lot of what ailed European and international value is now in the rearview,” Herro says.As the U.K. recovers from the pandemic and settles into life outside the European Union, Herro says strong and “severely overcapitalized” banks likeLloyds Banking Group(LYG) andNatWest Group(NWG) will benefit from pent-up demand for investing and borrowing that had been put off amid Brexit uncertainty.Herro has also waded into Chinese internet companies during the sector’s rout in the past year.Alibaba GroupHolding (BABA) andTencent Holdings(700.Hong Kong), which Herro owns through South African internet groupNaspers(NPN.South Africa), have been hit hard in the past year amid regulatory concerns at home and geopolitical tensions with the U.S., creating value in companies with strong business models, he says.Sarah Ketterer, co-manager of the $5.8 billionCauseway International Value(CIVVX), isn’t shopping much in the most battered sectors and isn’t sold on a meaningful rise in interest rates. Ketterer also thinks that the party in cyclicals may be winding down, especially after the 80% gains globally in these economically sensitive stocks since the first Covid-19 vaccine won approval late last year—another reason that traditional value sectors like financials and energy don’t interest her much. These sectors also face constraints to their growth, with energy, for example, facing an expensive long-term transition away from fossil fuels.Instead, Ketterer sees more value these days in European drugmakers likeSanofi(SAN.France),Novartis(NOVN.Switzerland), andRoche Holding(ROG.Switzerland), which have suffered amid postponed elective surgeries and doctors’ visits. The companies are positioned for a recovery but also for a world where vaccines become more important, and ample free cash flow gives these companies the wherewithal to buy machine learning and other tools to speed up drug discovery and cut costs, says Ketterer.Technology companies likeSAP(SAP) are also on her radar. “It’s a legacy software vendor—about as negative as it gets—but 70% of revenues are sticky,” Ketterer says. Plus, Ketterer says the company is led by a young, dynamic CEO, Christian Klein, who is in the early stages of a cloud transition and also taking subsidiaries public, creating what she describes as “one of those rare opportunities.”Unlike Ketterer,Dodge & Cox International Stock(DODFX) co-manager Diana Strandberg still sees upside in some of the cyclical sectors that have led the recovery—like financials, which account for 30% of the fund, including holdings such asBNP Paribas(BNP.France) andUBS Group(UBSG.Switzerland), and emerging market banks like India’sICICI Bank(IBN).Many European and emerging market banks have spent the past decade rebuilding their capital and balance sheets, increasing their returns on assets and earnings power—and doing it in Europe against a negative interest-rate backdrop. Yet Strandberg says investors haven’t noticed that these banks aren’t what they were during the financial crisis. Earnings revisions are rising, yet many still trade at eight to 10 times earnings. Plus, since banks had to hold off on dividends and buybacks during the pandemic, Strandberg sees the possibility of these companies becoming big income stocks as capital distributions are resumed.However, Strandberg cautions against a dogmatic approach and focusing on labels like deep value or relative value—or even classifying certain sectors or companies as value. The $42 billion value fund, which has about a fifth of assets in emerging markets, returned 4.6% on average over the past 15 years, beating 93% of its peers. “Labels are dangerous when you are investing,” Strandberg says. “The starting point matters, and that’s why we are always measuring valuations and fundamentals, but we keep an open mind and not just think we are a value manager so we buy ‘value’ stocks—not only is that changing, but also sometimes stocks are cheap because they should be.”More recently, Strandberg and team have favored pharmaceuticals over consumer staples. While their valuations are similar, Strandberg sees greater upside from drugmakers’ research and development. She has favored companies that are in the midst of a restructuring or ones that are focused on areas like vaccines, immunology, and rare diseases that are more protected from regulatory concerns.Restructuring opportunities are also attractive to T. Rowe Price Value (TRVLX) fund manager Mark Finn. He has been focusing lately on companies in the middle of the value spectrum—those not facing long-term problems—that are misunderstood or addressing self-inflicted problems, likeGeneral Electric(GE), which had made some ill-timed acquisitions and saddled its balance sheet with leverage. Now, though, Finn says that CEO Larry Culp is fixing many of the issues, and the company includes strong businesses like aircraft engines, power, and healthcare.Finn, whose fund returned an average annual 12.1% over the past decade to beat 92% of peers, scooped up banks, discount retailers, and industrials likeDeere(DE) andCaterpillar(CAT) last spring, but is now looking elsewhere. “The cyclicals don’t scream real cheap right now. There’s a lot of optimism built into those.”Instead, Finn sees more value in companies likeProcter & Gamble(PG).

It has taken share in its major markets and has an underleveraged balance sheet, Finn says.He also likes utilities such asDominion Energy(D) andXcel Energy(XEL) that have been hit as investors pursue higher-yielding options amid rising interest rates.

The Mountain View, California-based company offers individuals access to over 4,000 Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) from 200 educational institutions and corporations. The company also offers over two dozen degree programs at prices lower than what a learner would pay at a traditional, in-person institution. As the company grows its offering, it will be able to compete head-to-head with other “online program management” (OPM) providers, such as 2U(NASDAQ:TWOU), which is already publicly traded, and Noodle Partners.</p><p>Ng’sshareholder letter in the S-1articulated clearly just what the company is about:</p><blockquote>“We believe that education is the source of human progress. In today’s economy in which the skills needed to succeed are rapidly evolving, education is becoming more important than ever. As automation and digital disruption are poised to replace unprecedented numbers of jobs worldwide, giving workers the opportunity to upskill and reskill will be crucial to raising global living standards and increasing social equity. Online education will play a critical role, enabling anyone, anywhere, to gain the valuable skills they need to earn a living in an increasingly digital economy.”</blockquote><p>The filing lists Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup as underwriters. The number of shares and the price range of the proposed offering are yet to be determined.According to PitchBook data, Coursera’s most recent valuation in the private markets was $2.5 billion. To date, the company has raised $464 million in venture capital, most recently,$130 million in a Series F roundlast July. Coursera’s biggest institutional shareholders are New Enterprise Associates (18.3% of company stock), G Squared (15.9%) and Kleiner Perkins (9.2%).</p><p><b>Operating Results</b></p><p>The company earned $293 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, up 59% from 2019. Net losses widened by about $20 million year-on-year, reaching $66.8 million in 2020. Revenues shot up as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic’s effect on traditional education. In tandem with rising demand, operating costs associated with the company’s services rose, largely driven by the freemium content and marketing expenses. Coursera added over 12,000 new degree learners across the two years ended December 31, 2020 at an average acquisition cost of just below $2,000. The number of registered users rose by 65% year-on-year in 2020. Coursera’s accumulated deficit since its founding stood at $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The company does not expect to turn a profit in the foreseeable future.</p><p>The company’sCoursera for Campus,launched in late 2019to enable colleges to offer its library of MOOCs to their students, has been a key driver of recent revenue growth. At the start of the pandemic, Coursera made the program free to tertiary institutions until Sept. 30, 2020. Over 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world signed up for the program, which, according to the company’s S-1 filing, makes it, “one of our fastest growing offerings”. As of December 31, 2020, over 130 tertiary institutions were paying for it.</p><p>At this point, it is hard to predict what the end of the pandemic would have on the company’s operating results.</p><p><b>The Strategy and Market Opportunity</b></p><p>Coursera is one of the most disruptive firms in the world. It has a flywheel approach to value creation, with significant price-to-cost advantages versus its competition. The company reported that about half of its new degree students in 2020 had been previously registered with Coursera and that its average student acquisition cost was less than $2,000. Its average student acquisition cost is lower than the industry standard. The edu-tech platform is able to efficiently acquire learners at scale because of the huge number of free, high-quality courses that it offers in partnership with top educational institutions and corporations; its ability to personalize content based on its wealth of data; the strength of word-of-mouth promotion by learners; the profitability of its affiliate paid marketing channel.</p><p>The platform offers a number of education tracks, for example:</p><ul><li>Specializations: A learner can pay between $39 and $99 a month for job-specific content across over 500 categories.</li><li>MasterTrack Certificates: For a quarter to a year, a learner can earn a certificate issued by a university-issued certificate. Prices range from $2,000 to $6,000.</li><li>Bachelor’s or Master’s Degrees: Fees range from $9,000 to $45,000.</li><li>Coursera for Enterprise: Through this platform, businesses, educational institutions and governments can deploy content to their learners.</li></ul><p>In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Coursera partnered with over 330 government agencies across 30 U.S. states and cities and 70 countries as part of itsCoursera Workforce Recovery Initiative, which gave governments the chance to offer unemployed workers free access to thousands of business, data science, and technology courses from companies such as Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL).</p><p>The company has 77 million registered learners, as well as over 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies who paid for its enterprise offerings. The majority of its revenue (51%) was earned outside of the United States. Converting only a fraction of its 77 million registered users into paid users would change the economics of customer acquisition. The company’s present scale is a huge competitive advantage in the market.</p><p>A learner’s curriculum is designed to be “stackable”, which is to say that a learner can go through a domain in an incremental fashion. The company is able to leverage the huge volume of data it has accumulated from its over 220 million enrollments to personalize content. So, for example, Coursera’s Skills Graphs can suggest paths for job skills.</p><p>Coursera uses technology to drive down distribution costs, make content more affordable, extend access to less economically-endowed regions, help learners keep abreast of emerging skills, and grow its market opportunity. The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated secular trends towards the use of technology in education.</p><p>The size of the addressable market is massive and it’s easy to see why.An August 2020 study by the United Nationsdemonstrates the degree of disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic: of the 1.6 billion students in 190 countries covered in the report, or 94% of the world’s students, were prevented from going to school because of Covid-19 pandemic related school closures.</p><p>In 2017, the World Bank indicated thatof the 200 million college students in the world, many do not have job-specific skills.</p><p>The Covid-19 pandemic and prior secular trends suggest that the future of education is in blended classrooms, job-specific education and continuous, lifelong education. Online learning platforms like Coursera will be the primary means through which educational content is delivered.</p><p>Globally, spending on higher education in 2019 was $2.2 trillion,according to HolonIQ. Spending on online degrees was $36 billion and is predicted to reach $74 billion by 2025.</p><p>With a huge, existing learner base; a strong brand; and the significant advantages detailed above, Coursera is likely to grab a significant amount of the market’s growth. Of thescenarios for the future of education, it seems that Coursera will continue to grow.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>Coursera seems poised to meet the challenges of a changing education landscape. With its vast, existing user base, its flywheel model, its competitive advantages, and its existence in a huge and growing addressable market, the company is likely to do very well. The company’s value proposition is compelling. However, long run success does not equate to a good investment in the short run. An unprofitable company like Coursera is likely to be very volatile on the markets until it reaches profitability. It is better to wait for Coursera to turn a profit before investing in the company.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Coursera: The Education Disruptor Goes Public</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\">\nCoursera: The Education Disruptor Goes Public\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-30 17:01 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4413745-coursera-education-disruptor-goes-public><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryThe company is growing rapidly as a result of secular trends as well as the Covid-19 pandemic.It is operating in a huge addressable market that is likely to grow for the foreseeable future.C...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4413745-coursera-education-disruptor-goes-public\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cedd6cbf23bbe97eaec389fb0773ed6","relate_stocks":{"COUR":"Coursera, Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4413745-coursera-education-disruptor-goes-public","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1163996400","content_text":"SummaryThe company is growing rapidly as a result of secular trends as well as the Covid-19 pandemic.It is operating in a huge addressable market that is likely to grow for the foreseeable future.Coursera enjoys many competitive advantages, among them a large, existing user base, price-to-cost advantages, and the ability to personalize content as a result of its trove of data.Given its scale, and competitive advantages, the company should win an outsized share of its market opportunity.However, because the company has not turned a profit, there is a chance that its stock may be too volatile in the near term.

As the company grows its offering, it will be able to compete head-to-head with other “online program management” (OPM) providers, such as 2U(NASDAQ:TWOU), which is already publicly traded, and Noodle Partners.Ng’sshareholder letter in the S-1articulated clearly just what the company is about:“We believe that education is the source of human progress. In today’s economy in which the skills needed to succeed are rapidly evolving, education is becoming more important than ever. As automation and digital disruption are poised to replace unprecedented numbers of jobs worldwide, giving workers the opportunity to upskill and reskill will be crucial to raising global living standards and increasing social equity. Online education will play a critical role, enabling anyone, anywhere, to gain the valuable skills they need to earn a living in an increasingly digital economy.”The filing lists Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup as underwriters. The number of shares and the price range of the proposed offering are yet to be determined.According to PitchBook data, Coursera’s most recent valuation in the private markets was $2.5 billion. To date, the company has raised $464 million in venture capital, most recently,$130 million in a Series F roundlast July. Coursera’s biggest institutional shareholders are New Enterprise Associates (18.3% of company stock), G Squared (15.9%) and Kleiner Perkins (9.2%).Operating ResultsThe company earned $293 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, up 59% from 2019. Net losses widened by about $20 million year-on-year, reaching $66.8 million in 2020. Revenues shot up as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic’s effect on traditional education. In tandem with rising demand, operating costs associated with the company’s services rose, largely driven by the freemium content and marketing expenses. Coursera added over 12,000 new degree learners across the two years ended December 31, 2020 at an average acquisition cost of just below $2,000. The number of registered users rose by 65% year-on-year in 2020. Coursera’s accumulated deficit since its founding stood at $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The company does not expect to turn a profit in the foreseeable future.The company’sCoursera for Campus,launched in late 2019to enable colleges to offer its library of MOOCs to their students, has been a key driver of recent revenue growth. At the start of the pandemic, Coursera made the program free to tertiary institutions until Sept. 30, 2020. Over 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world signed up for the program, which, according to the company’s S-1 filing, makes it, “one of our fastest growing offerings”. As of December 31, 2020, over 130 tertiary institutions were paying for it.At this point, it is hard to predict what the end of the pandemic would have on the company’s operating results.The Strategy and Market OpportunityCoursera is one of the most disruptive firms in the world. It has a flywheel approach to value creation, with significant price-to-cost advantages versus its competition. The company reported that about half of its new degree students in 2020 had been previously registered with Coursera and that its average student acquisition cost was less than $2,000. Its average student acquisition cost is lower than the industry standard. The edu-tech platform is able to efficiently acquire learners at scale because of the huge number of free, high-quality courses that it offers in partnership with top educational institutions and corporations; its ability to personalize content based on its wealth of data; the strength of word-of-mouth promotion by learners; the profitability of its affiliate paid marketing channel.The platform offers a number of education tracks, for example:Specializations: A learner can pay between $39 and $99 a month for job-specific content across over 500 categories.MasterTrack Certificates: For a quarter to a year, a learner can earn a certificate issued by a university-issued certificate. Prices range from $2,000 to $6,000.Bachelor’s or Master’s Degrees: Fees range from $9,000 to $45,000.Coursera for Enterprise: Through this platform, businesses, educational institutions and governments can deploy content to their learners.In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Coursera partnered with over 330 government agencies across 30 U.S. states and cities and 70 countries as part of itsCoursera Workforce Recovery Initiative, which gave governments the chance to offer unemployed workers free access to thousands of business, data science, and technology courses from companies such as Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL).The company has 77 million registered learners, as well as over 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies who paid for its enterprise offerings. The majority of its revenue (51%) was earned outside of the United States. Converting only a fraction of its 77 million registered users into paid users would change the economics of customer acquisition. The company’s present scale is a huge competitive advantage in the market.A learner’s curriculum is designed to be “stackable”, which is to say that a learner can go through a domain in an incremental fashion. The company is able to leverage the huge volume of data it has accumulated from its over 220 million enrollments to personalize content. So, for example, Coursera’s Skills Graphs can suggest paths for job skills.Coursera uses technology to drive down distribution costs, make content more affordable, extend access to less economically-endowed regions, help learners keep abreast of emerging skills, and grow its market opportunity. The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated secular trends towards the use of technology in education.The size of the addressable market is massive and it’s easy to see why.An August 2020 study by the United Nationsdemonstrates the degree of disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic: of the 1.6 billion students in 190 countries covered in the report, or 94% of the world’s students, were prevented from going to school because of Covid-19 pandemic related school closures.In 2017, the World Bank indicated thatof the 200 million college students in the world, many do not have job-specific skills.The Covid-19 pandemic and prior secular trends suggest that the future of education is in blended classrooms, job-specific education and continuous, lifelong education. Online learning platforms like Coursera will be the primary means through which educational content is delivered.Globally, spending on higher education in 2019 was $2.2 trillion,according to HolonIQ. Spending on online degrees was $36 billion and is predicted to reach $74 billion by 2025.With a huge, existing learner base; a strong brand; and the significant advantages detailed above, Coursera is likely to grab a significant amount of the market’s growth. Of thescenarios for the future of education, it seems that Coursera will continue to grow.ConclusionCoursera seems poised to meet the challenges of a changing education landscape. With its vast, existing user base, its flywheel model, its competitive advantages, and its existence in a huge and growing addressable market, the company is likely to do very well. The company’s value proposition is compelling. However, long run success does not equate to a good investment in the short run. An unprofitable company like Coursera is likely to be very volatile on the markets until it reaches profitability. It is better to wait for Coursera to turn a profit before investing in the company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":152,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":354606751,"gmtCreate":1617163508673,"gmtModify":1704696650524,"author":{"id":"3580173923007017","authorId":"3580173923007017","name":"whhhhhhhhh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8824e3b5f4add639330c973ea53e2e35","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580173923007017","authorIdStr":"3580173923007017"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"nice","listText":"nice","text":"nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/354606751","repostId":"1163996400","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1163996400","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617094880,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1163996400?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-30 17:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Coursera: The Education Disruptor Goes Public","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1163996400","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"SummaryThe company is growing rapidly as a result of secular trends as well as the Covid-19 pandemic","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p><ul><li>The company is growing rapidly as a result of secular trends as well as the Covid-19 pandemic.</li><li>It is operating in a huge addressable market that is likely to grow for the foreseeable future.</li><li>Coursera enjoys many competitive advantages, among them a large, existing user base, price-to-cost advantages, and the ability to personalize content as a result of its trove of data.</li><li>Given its scale, and competitive advantages, the company should win an outsized share of its market opportunity.</li><li>However, because the company has not turned a profit, there is a chance that its stock may be too volatile in the near term.

Alphabet And Meta Returns Since 2013Portfolio Visualizer PremiumIn fact, both have crushed even the red hot Nasdaq during one of the hottest tech bull runs in US history, delivering Buffett-like 25% returns that resulted in an 8X return.YchartsWhile the market is currently in a correction, and growth stocks have been especially hard hit, Meta has been crushed, falling into a 50% bear market.I've bought both growth legends in this correction, but one is a core growth name in my correction plan, and the other is a non-core holding.So let me explain why both Meta and Alphabet are great companies, worth owning, and even buying more of right now.However, a careful examination of both of their fundamentals makes it clear that Alphabet is the global king of digital marketing, and this is likely to remain the case for the foreseeable future.The Challenge Facing Digital Marketers Right NoweMarketerGOOG, FB, and Amazon (AMZN) have a triopoly on US digital marketing, commanding an estimated 65% of the market.Both GOOG and FB are losing market share to AMZN because Amazon's ads are 3X as effective at converting to actual sales.That's because Amazon has spent decades gathering customer sales data and knows what its customers want better than anyone on earth.Apple's (AAPL) recent privacy shift in iOS, makes it much easier to opt out of data tracking, and 62% of iPhone users have indeed opted out.This has proven a hammer blow to FB, which management says could cost it $10 billion in 2022 alone.GOOG is less at risk since it still has the search data it can use to optimize for targeted ads.AMZN is the least at risk since it relies far less on cookie tracking than its rivals.This kind of business model disruption is part of FB and GOOG's risk profile, which brings us to our first point of comparison.Long-Term Risk Management: Winner AlphabetHow do we quantify, monitor, and track such a complex risk profile? By doing what big institutions do.Material Financial ESG Risk Analysis: How Large Institutions Measure Total Risk4 Things You Need To Know To Profit From ESG InvestingWhat Investors Need To Know About

to undertake even more impressive buybacks.$380 billion in consensus buybacks through 202721% of shares at current valuationsNow let's consider one important profitability metric in particular.Return on capital or ROC is Joel Greenblatt's gold standard proxy for quality and moatiness.ROC = pre-tax profit/operating capital (the money it takes to run the business).S&P 500's average in 2021 was 14.6%

companies in their entirety one fact is clear.GOOG is a higher quality companyGOOG is a faster-growing company (with potentially 2X better long-term return potential than FB)GOOG has far better long-term risk management (to deal with the disruption the digital advertising industry is currently facing)GOOG has superior return on capital and a more stable moatWhile FB offers superior valuation and potentially double the short-term return potential, it's a speculative blue-chip currently going through the largest business pivot in the company's history.In contrast, GOOG is a faster-growing Ultra SWAN that is expected to buy back almost $400 billion worth of stock in the next five years, double that of FB.Simply put, if you can only buy one of these growth legends today, I recommend Alphabet, and that's why I have it as a core growth position in my correction plan.Not just for the next few weeks, but all of 2022 and beyond.Because at the end of the day, when you focus on safety

The number of shares and the price range of the proposed offering are yet to be determined.According to PitchBook data, Coursera’s most recent valuation in the private markets was $2.5 billion. To date, the company has raised $464 million in venture capital, most recently,$130 million in a Series F roundlast July. Coursera’s biggest institutional shareholders are New Enterprise Associates (18.3% of company stock), G Squared (15.9%) and Kleiner Perkins (9.2%).</p><p><b>Operating Results</b></p><p>The company earned $293 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, up 59% from 2019. Net losses widened by about $20 million year-on-year, reaching $66.8 million in 2020. Revenues shot up as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic’s effect on traditional education. In tandem with rising demand, operating costs associated with the company’s services rose, largely driven by the freemium content and marketing expenses. Coursera added over 12,000 new degree learners across the two years ended December 31, 2020 at an average acquisition cost of just below $2,000. The number of registered users rose by 65% year-on-year in 2020. Coursera’s accumulated deficit since its founding stood at $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The company does not expect to turn a profit in the foreseeable future.</p><p>The company’sCoursera for Campus,launched in late 2019to enable colleges to offer its library of MOOCs to their students, has been a key driver of recent revenue growth. At the start of the pandemic, Coursera made the program free to tertiary institutions until Sept. 30, 2020. Over 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world signed up for the program, which, according to the company’s S-1 filing, makes it, “one of our fastest growing offerings”. As of December 31, 2020, over 130 tertiary institutions were paying for it.</p><p>At this point, it is hard to predict what the end of the pandemic would have on the company’s operating results.</p><p><b>The Strategy and Market Opportunity</b></p><p>Coursera is one of the most disruptive firms in the world. It has a flywheel approach to value creation, with significant price-to-cost advantages versus its competition. The company reported that about half of its new degree students in 2020 had been previously registered with Coursera and that its average student acquisition cost was less than $2,000. Its average student acquisition cost is lower than the industry standard. The edu-tech platform is able to efficiently acquire learners at scale because of the huge number of free, high-quality courses that it offers in partnership with top educational institutions and corporations; its ability to personalize content based on its wealth of data; the strength of word-of-mouth promotion by learners; the profitability of its affiliate paid marketing channel.</p><p>The platform offers a number of education tracks, for example:</p><ul><li>Specializations: A learner can pay between $39 and $99 a month for job-specific content across over 500 categories.</li><li>MasterTrack Certificates: For a quarter to a year, a learner can earn a certificate issued by a university-issued certificate.

The majority of its revenue (51%) was earned outside of the United States. Converting only a fraction of its 77 million registered users into paid users would change the economics of customer acquisition. The company’s present scale is a huge competitive advantage in the market.</p><p>A learner’s curriculum is designed to be “stackable”, which is to say that a learner can go through a domain in an incremental fashion. The company is able to leverage the huge volume of data it has accumulated from its over 220 million enrollments to personalize content. So, for example, Coursera’s Skills Graphs can suggest paths for job skills.</p><p>Coursera uses technology to drive down distribution costs, make content more affordable, extend access to less economically-endowed regions, help learners keep abreast of emerging skills, and grow its market opportunity.

With its vast, existing user base, its flywheel model, its competitive advantages, and its existence in a huge and growing addressable market, the company is likely to do very well. The company’s value proposition is compelling. However, long run success does not equate to a good investment in the short run. An unprofitable company like Coursera is likely to be very volatile on the markets until it reaches profitability.

It is better to wait for Coursera to turn a profit before investing in the company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":152,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":355539300,"gmtCreate":1617082978900,"gmtModify":1704801730722,"author":{"id":"3580173923007017","authorId":"3580173923007017","name":"whhhhhhhhh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8824e3b5f4add639330c973ea53e2e35","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580173923007017","authorIdStr":"3580173923007017"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"gme moon soon yes??? :)))","listText":"gme moon soon yes??? :)))","text":"gme moon soon yes??? :)))","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/355539300","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":138,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":348304139,"gmtCreate":1617886360621,"gmtModify":1704704363074,"author":{"id":"3580173923007017","authorId":"3580173923007017","name":"whhhhhhhhh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8824e3b5f4add639330c973ea53e2e35","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580173923007017","authorIdStr":"3580173923007017"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"cool","listText":"cool","text":"cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/348304139","repostId":"1112389819","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":398,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":349363411,"gmtCreate":1617546081833,"gmtModify":1704700346346,"author":{"id":"3580173923007017","authorId":"3580173923007017","name":"whhhhhhhhh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8824e3b5f4add639330c973ea53e2e35","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580173923007017","authorIdStr":"3580173923007017"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"nice","listText":"nice","text":"nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/349363411","repostId":"2124875875","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2124875875","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617366960,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2124875875?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-02 20:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Q1 2021 Vehicle Production & Deliveries","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2124875875","media":"StreetInsider","summary":"PALO ALTO, Calif., April 02, 2021  -- In the first quarter, we produced just over 180,000 vehicles and delivered nearly 185,000 vehicles.

Buying when the company turns a profit is the safer bet.</li></ul><p>Coursera (COURS), the online learning platform founded in 2012 by former Stanford University computer science professors Daphne Koller and Andrew Ng, filed itsIPO prospectuswith the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Mountain View, California-based company offers individuals access to over 4,000 Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) from 200 educational institutions and corporations. The company also offers over two dozen degree programs at prices lower than what a learner would pay at a traditional, in-person institution. As the company grows its offering, it will be able to compete head-to-head with other “online program management” (OPM) providers, such as 2U(NASDAQ:TWOU), which is already publicly traded, and Noodle Partners.</p><p>Ng’sshareholder letter in the S-1articulated clearly just what the company is about:</p><blockquote>“We believe that education is the source of human progress. In today’s economy in which the skills needed to succeed are rapidly evolving, education is becoming more important than ever. As automation and digital disruption are poised to replace unprecedented numbers of jobs worldwide, giving workers the opportunity to upskill and reskill will be crucial to raising global living standards and increasing social equity. Online education will play a critical role, enabling anyone, anywhere, to gain the valuable skills they need to earn a living in an increasingly digital economy.”</blockquote><p>The filing lists Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup as underwriters. The number of shares and the price range of the proposed offering are yet to be determined.According to PitchBook data, Coursera’s most recent valuation in the private markets was $2.5 billion. To date, the company has raised $464 million in venture capital, most recently,$130 million in a Series F roundlast July. Coursera’s biggest institutional shareholders are New Enterprise Associates (18.3% of company stock), G Squared (15.9%) and Kleiner Perkins (9.2%).</p><p><b>Operating Results</b></p><p>The company earned $293 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, up 59% from 2019. Net losses widened by about $20 million year-on-year, reaching $66.8 million in 2020. Revenues shot up as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic’s effect on traditional education. In tandem with rising demand, operating costs associated with the company’s services rose, largely driven by the freemium content and marketing expenses. Coursera added over 12,000 new degree learners across the two years ended December 31, 2020 at an average acquisition cost of just below $2,000. The number of registered users rose by 65% year-on-year in 2020. Coursera’s accumulated deficit since its founding stood at $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The company does not expect to turn a profit in the foreseeable future.</p><p>The company’sCoursera for Campus,launched in late 2019to enable colleges to offer its library of MOOCs to their students, has been a key driver of recent revenue growth. At the start of the pandemic, Coursera made the program free to tertiary institutions until Sept. 30, 2020. Over 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world signed up for the program, which, according to the company’s S-1 filing, makes it, “one of our fastest growing offerings”. As of December 31, 2020, over 130 tertiary institutions were paying for it.</p><p>At this point, it is hard to predict what the end of the pandemic would have on the company’s operating results.</p><p><b>The Strategy and Market Opportunity</b></p><p>Coursera is one of the most disruptive firms in the world. It has a flywheel approach to value creation, with significant price-to-cost advantages versus its competition. The company reported that about half of its new degree students in 2020 had been previously registered with Coursera and that its average student acquisition cost was less than $2,000. Its average student acquisition cost is lower than the industry standard. The edu-tech platform is able to efficiently acquire learners at scale because of the huge number of free, high-quality courses that it offers in partnership with top educational institutions and corporations; its ability to personalize content based on its wealth of data; the strength of word-of-mouth promotion by learners; the profitability of its affiliate paid marketing channel.</p><p>The platform offers a number of education tracks, for example:</p><ul><li>Specializations: A learner can pay between $39 and $99 a month for job-specific content across over 500 categories.</li><li>MasterTrack Certificates: For a quarter to a year, a learner can earn a certificate issued by a university-issued certificate. Prices range from $2,000 to $6,000.</li><li>Bachelor’s or Master’s Degrees: Fees range from $9,000 to $45,000.</li><li>Coursera for Enterprise: Through this platform, businesses, educational institutions and governments can deploy content to their learners.</li></ul><p>In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Coursera partnered with over 330 government agencies across 30 U.S. states and cities and 70 countries as part of itsCoursera Workforce Recovery Initiative, which gave governments the chance to offer unemployed workers free access to thousands of business, data science, and technology courses from companies such as Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL).</p><p>The company has 77 million registered learners, as well as over 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies who paid for its enterprise offerings. The majority of its revenue (51%) was earned outside of the United States. Converting only a fraction of its 77 million registered users into paid users would change the economics of customer acquisition. The company’s present scale is a huge competitive advantage in the market.</p><p>A learner’s curriculum is designed to be “stackable”, which is to say that a learner can go through a domain in an incremental fashion. The company is able to leverage the huge volume of data it has accumulated from its over 220 million enrollments to personalize content. So, for example, Coursera’s Skills Graphs can suggest paths for job skills.</p><p>Coursera uses technology to drive down distribution costs, make content more affordable, extend access to less economically-endowed regions, help learners keep abreast of emerging skills, and grow its market opportunity. The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated secular trends towards the use of technology in education.</p><p>The size of the addressable market is massive and it’s easy to see why.An August 2020 study by the United Nationsdemonstrates the degree of disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic: of the 1.6 billion students in 190 countries covered in the report, or 94% of the world’s students, were prevented from going to school because of Covid-19 pandemic related school closures.</p><p>In 2017, the World Bank indicated thatof the 200 million college students in the world, many do not have job-specific skills.</p><p>The Covid-19 pandemic and prior secular trends suggest that the future of education is in blended classrooms, job-specific education and continuous, lifelong education. Online learning platforms like Coursera will be the primary means through which educational content is delivered.</p><p>Globally, spending on higher education in 2019 was $2.2 trillion,according to HolonIQ. Spending on online degrees was $36 billion and is predicted to reach $74 billion by 2025.</p><p>With a huge, existing learner base; a strong brand; and the significant advantages detailed above, Coursera is likely to grab a significant amount of the market’s growth. Of thescenarios for the future of education, it seems that Coursera will continue to grow.</p><p><b>Conclusion</b></p><p>Coursera seems poised to meet the challenges of a changing education landscape. With its vast, existing user base, its flywheel model, its competitive advantages, and its existence in a huge and growing addressable market, the company is likely to do very well. The company’s value proposition is compelling. However, long run success does not equate to a good investment in the short run. An unprofitable company like Coursera is likely to be very volatile on the markets until it reaches profitability. It is better to wait for Coursera to turn a profit before investing in the company.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Coursera: The Education Disruptor Goes Public</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\">\nCoursera: The Education Disruptor Goes Public\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-30 17:01 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4413745-coursera-education-disruptor-goes-public><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryThe company is growing rapidly as a result of secular trends as well as the Covid-19 pandemic.It is operating in a huge addressable market that is likely to grow for the foreseeable future.C...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4413745-coursera-education-disruptor-goes-public\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7cedd6cbf23bbe97eaec389fb0773ed6","relate_stocks":{"COUR":"Coursera, Inc."},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4413745-coursera-education-disruptor-goes-public","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1163996400","content_text":"SummaryThe company is growing rapidly as a result of secular trends as well as the Covid-19 pandemic.It is operating in a huge addressable market that is likely to grow for the foreseeable future.Coursera enjoys many competitive advantages, among them a large, existing user base, price-to-cost advantages, and the ability to personalize content as a result of its trove of data.Given its scale, and competitive advantages, the company should win an outsized share of its market opportunity.However, because the company has not turned a profit, there is a chance that its stock may be too volatile in the near term. Buying when the company turns a profit is the safer bet.Coursera (COURS), the online learning platform founded in 2012 by former Stanford University computer science professors Daphne Koller and Andrew Ng, filed itsIPO prospectuswith the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Mountain View, California-based company offers individuals access to over 4,000 Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) from 200 educational institutions and corporations. The company also offers over two dozen degree programs at prices lower than what a learner would pay at a traditional, in-person institution. As the company grows its offering, it will be able to compete head-to-head with other “online program management” (OPM) providers, such as 2U(NASDAQ:TWOU), which is already publicly traded, and Noodle Partners.Ng’sshareholder letter in the S-1articulated clearly just what the company is about:“We believe that education is the source of human progress. In today’s economy in which the skills needed to succeed are rapidly evolving, education is becoming more important than ever. As automation and digital disruption are poised to replace unprecedented numbers of jobs worldwide, giving workers the opportunity to upskill and reskill will be crucial to raising global living standards and increasing social equity. Online education will play a critical role, enabling anyone, anywhere, to gain the valuable skills they need to earn a living in an increasingly digital economy.”The filing lists Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup as underwriters. The number of shares and the price range of the proposed offering are yet to be determined.According to PitchBook data, Coursera’s most recent valuation in the private markets was $2.5 billion. To date, the company has raised $464 million in venture capital, most recently,$130 million in a Series F roundlast July. Coursera’s biggest institutional shareholders are New Enterprise Associates (18.3% of company stock), G Squared (15.9%) and Kleiner Perkins (9.2%).Operating ResultsThe company earned $293 million in revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, up 59% from 2019. Net losses widened by about $20 million year-on-year, reaching $66.8 million in 2020. Revenues shot up as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic’s effect on traditional education. In tandem with rising demand, operating costs associated with the company’s services rose, largely driven by the freemium content and marketing expenses. Coursera added over 12,000 new degree learners across the two years ended December 31, 2020 at an average acquisition cost of just below $2,000. The number of registered users rose by 65% year-on-year in 2020. Coursera’s accumulated deficit since its founding stood at $343.6 million as of December 31, 2020. The company does not expect to turn a profit in the foreseeable future.The company’sCoursera for Campus,launched in late 2019to enable colleges to offer its library of MOOCs to their students, has been a key driver of recent revenue growth. At the start of the pandemic, Coursera made the program free to tertiary institutions until Sept. 30, 2020. Over 4,000 tertiary institutions from across the world signed up for the program, which, according to the company’s S-1 filing, makes it, “one of our fastest growing offerings”. As of December 31, 2020, over 130 tertiary institutions were paying for it.At this point, it is hard to predict what the end of the pandemic would have on the company’s operating results.The Strategy and Market OpportunityCoursera is one of the most disruptive firms in the world. It has a flywheel approach to value creation, with significant price-to-cost advantages versus its competition. The company reported that about half of its new degree students in 2020 had been previously registered with Coursera and that its average student acquisition cost was less than $2,000. Its average student acquisition cost is lower than the industry standard. The edu-tech platform is able to efficiently acquire learners at scale because of the huge number of free, high-quality courses that it offers in partnership with top educational institutions and corporations; its ability to personalize content based on its wealth of data; the strength of word-of-mouth promotion by learners; the profitability of its affiliate paid marketing channel.The platform offers a number of education tracks, for example:Specializations: A learner can pay between $39 and $99 a month for job-specific content across over 500 categories.MasterTrack Certificates: For a quarter to a year, a learner can earn a certificate issued by a university-issued certificate. Prices range from $2,000 to $6,000.Bachelor’s or Master’s Degrees: Fees range from $9,000 to $45,000.Coursera for Enterprise: Through this platform, businesses, educational institutions and governments can deploy content to their learners.In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Coursera partnered with over 330 government agencies across 30 U.S. states and cities and 70 countries as part of itsCoursera Workforce Recovery Initiative, which gave governments the chance to offer unemployed workers free access to thousands of business, data science, and technology courses from companies such as Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)and Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL).The company has 77 million registered learners, as well as over 2,000 businesses (including 25% of Fortune 500 companies) and 100 government agencies who paid for its enterprise offerings. The majority of its revenue (51%) was earned outside of the United States. Converting only a fraction of its 77 million registered users into paid users would change the economics of customer acquisition. The company’s present scale is a huge competitive advantage in the market.A learner’s curriculum is designed to be “stackable”, which is to say that a learner can go through a domain in an incremental fashion. The company is able to leverage the huge volume of data it has accumulated from its over 220 million enrollments to personalize content. So, for example, Coursera’s Skills Graphs can suggest paths for job skills.Coursera uses technology to drive down distribution costs, make content more affordable, extend access to less economically-endowed regions, help learners keep abreast of emerging skills, and grow its market opportunity. The Covid-19 pandemic has only accelerated secular trends towards the use of technology in education.The size of the addressable market is massive and it’s easy to see why.An August 2020 study by the United Nationsdemonstrates the degree of disruption brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic: of the 1.6 billion students in 190 countries covered in the report, or 94% of the world’s students, were prevented from going to school because of Covid-19 pandemic related school closures.In 2017, the World Bank indicated thatof the 200 million college students in the world, many do not have job-specific skills.The Covid-19 pandemic and prior secular trends suggest that the future of education is in blended classrooms, job-specific education and continuous, lifelong education. Online learning platforms like Coursera will be the primary means through which educational content is delivered.Globally, spending on higher education in 2019 was $2.2 trillion,according to HolonIQ. Spending on online degrees was $36 billion and is predicted to reach $74 billion by 2025.With a huge, existing learner base; a strong brand; and the significant advantages detailed above, Coursera is likely to grab a significant amount of the market’s growth. Of thescenarios for the future of education, it seems that Coursera will continue to grow.ConclusionCoursera seems poised to meet the challenges of a changing education landscape. With its vast, existing user base, its flywheel model, its competitive advantages, and its existence in a huge and growing addressable market, the company is likely to do very well. The company’s value proposition is compelling. However, long run success does not equate to a good investment in the short run. An unprofitable company like Coursera is likely to be very volatile on the markets until it reaches profitability. It is better to wait for Coursera to turn a profit before investing in the company.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":165,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":343133029,"gmtCreate":1617686254961,"gmtModify":1704701790353,"author":{"id":"3580173923007017","authorId":"3580173923007017","name":"whhhhhhhhh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8824e3b5f4add639330c973ea53e2e35","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580173923007017","authorIdStr":"3580173923007017"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"nice","listText":"nice","text":"nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/343133029","repostId":"2125769189","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":320,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":349634313,"gmtCreate":1617600976432,"gmtModify":1704700711541,"author":{"id":"3580173923007017","authorId":"3580173923007017","name":"whhhhhhhhh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8824e3b5f4add639330c973ea53e2e35","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580173923007017","authorIdStr":"3580173923007017"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"nice","listText":"nice","text":"nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/349634313","repostId":"1112964874","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":377,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
