The observations allowed us to juxtapose EV market opportunities across two segments of China’s diverse economy. To better put into perspective the economic differences of the two tiers, one boasts a significantly larger population with asset valuations almost 5x higher than the other. A brand-new condo development in a tier 5 city costs about RMB 4,300 ($625) per square meter, or about RMB 400 per square footage. Meanwhile, a brand-new condo development in a tier 2 city costs about RMB 25,500 per square meter, or about RMB 2,360 per square footage. This means in a tier 5 county, a decent sized condo can be purchased for about $100,000 with change, while the same amount would barely make a downpayment in a tier 2 city.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">With EVs largely still viewed as a luxury given its price imparity with ICEs, they remain largely absent in the lower-tier economic zones. When asked about EVs, the population in the tier 5 city we had visited would largely link the term with electric bikes and scooters instead of passenger cars. Admittedly, rapid economic development across China over the past decade has benefited the lower-tier economic zones, nonetheless, as evidenced by the dominance of passenger vehicles over electric bikes and scooters this time around compared to when we had last visited almost a decade ago. Critical infrastructure access – like toll highways – connecting the lower- and higher-tier economic zones have also been a key driver of wealth creation, and inadvertently, a transition in the dominant form of transportation from bikes to cars. Yet, battery electric and plug-in passenger cars remain a next level luxury, with mass market ICEs like those offered by Nissan (OTCPK:NSANY, OTCPK:NSANF), Toyota (TM) and legacy BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF, OTCPK:BYDDY) being the dominant choice still among the population residing in lower-tier economic zones.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Meanwhile, in the higher-tier economic zones like the tier 2 city we had visited, EVs represent a meaningful mix of the passenger car fleet on the road – about a quarter to a third of cars observed in parking lots are likely plug-ins, consistent with the average EV penetration rate reported by recent data from the China Passenger Car Association. But to our surprise, Tesla (TSLA) viewings were not any more frequent than its local born peers, with BYD’s newest electric offerings being the clear market leader. In fact, Tesla’s reputation among the population residing in the tier 2 city we had visited remains largely mixed, with many citing safety concerns and fickle pricing as main reasons for abstaining from the brand.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In NIO’s (NYSE:NIO) case, the premium EV maker clearly commands a fair share of its target market, with prominent sightings of the brand’s SUVs across all parking lots – malls, restaurants, homes, etc. – and on the road, indicating a reasonable demand environment in higher-tier economic zones consistent with management commentary from recent earnings calls. The diverse observations we had gathered from recent visits to the tier 2 and tier 5 cities have reinforced a few thoughts – namely, the importance of NIO’s upcoming launch of the mass market sub-brands to improve penetration in lower-tier economic zones, the key of ramping up its sedan offerings to compete for share against rival premium offerings in the ongoing ICE to electric transition, and the business’ capital-intensive nature that will continue to weigh on profitability within the foreseeable future.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">NIO in Tier 2</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">NIO has largely focused penetration into the more affluent tier 1 and tier 2 cities across China in recent years, with its premium SUV offerings holding a double-digit penetration rate in those regions across both the ICE and electric segments:</p><blockquote>NIO&#39;s penetration in the Tier 1 and the Tier 2 cities in China has been growing at a much faster pace. In Shanghai, the first half of this year has witnessed our penetration in the premium SUV segment, reaching 13.7% among all ICE and the electric vehicles…This is already quite high and we have already achieved this in the Tier 1 city. So we believe this is a very good indicator for our next step to penetrating into more markets in different cities.<em>Source: NIO 2Q21 Earnings Call Transcript</em></blockquote><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Consistent with observations in our latest visit to a tier 2 city in China, the bulk of NIO sightings remain SUV-heavy. Specifically, sightings of the recently introduced ET7 and ET5 sedans built on the higher-margin NT 2.0 platform were rare, and primarily concentrated in areas near the NIO studio. The first implication that comes to mind is that the ramp up of new demand for more recent sedan models potentially remains moderate, consistent with the relatively subdued EV market this year considering the lingering impacts of macroeconomic uncertainties and competition from lower-priced premium equivalents offered by market leader BYD. To our surprise though, sightings of NIO vehicles were no less than Tesla in the tier 2 city we had visited, potentially suggesting high concentration of Tesla vehicles in certain Chinese cities and an overall deceleration in market share gains by the EV pioneer in China.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The observations corroborate our understanding of NIO’s resilience, nonetheless, among stiff competition within the increasingly crowded EV landscape in China, alongside other macro-driven and industry-wide challenges like the modest post-pandemic recovery and lingering supply chain constraints. Despite a modest rebound in recent consumer spending, both industrial output and investments – critical to buoying GDP growth – remain subdued based on recent economic data, with gradually slumping automotive sales.</p><p></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/85e65bb67d8dbe9b3d0a8e022d6deca9\" alt=\"NIO Battery Swap\" title=\"NIO Battery Swap\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"480\"/><span>NIO Battery Swap</span></p><p></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In addition to vehicle observations, we had also come across multiple NIO Swap stations and witnessed swift battery swaps in action, with efficient turnover to alleviate concerns of long wait times for the multi-car line-up. However, the NIO House studio we had come across was not as busy as expected. Marketed as an experience center aimed at bringing together a broader NIO ecosystem with sales of merchandise, food and drinks alongside, of course, its vehicles, the store was not any more busy than other in-mall showrooms installed by its EV peers. This indicates the costly lifestyle narrative, which big tech companies like Apple (AAPL) have successfully benefited from and NIO has been trying to replicate still needs some work.</p><p></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a6e79791d38655cd6e047af3f9b87a99\" alt=\"NIO House in Tier 2 City\" title=\"NIO House in Tier 2 City\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"853\"/><span>NIO House in Tier 2 City</span></p><p></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">However, our inquiries to several acquaintances that have test driven NIO vehicles were largely positive on the experience, including appreciation for the ride’s comfort and other in-vehicle technology features. Many have also pointed out the low cost of ownership as a plus, with less frequent trips to the service center for costly maintenance. There were only minor NIO-specific complaints, like how the placement of its NOMI in-vehicle smart assistant is awkwardly placed on the dashboard and somewhat in the way of the driver’s view of road conditions, unlike seamless integration of other in-vehicle smart assistants like BYD’s “Xiao Di” into the infotainment screen. But the main setback for pulling the trigger on EV purchases remain on restricted range capability relative to ICE vehicles, and the lack of public charging infrastructure availability.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">With ICE vehicles still dominating the roads, and a set of tools and offerings in the pipeline to address some of the key roadblocks to adoption among prospective buyers, NIO remains well positioned for further market share gains among the more affluent economic zones. Specifically, NIO continues to demonstrate commitment towards the build-out of conveniently accessible charging solutions, including the recent “deployment of the third-generation Power Swap station” capable of serving more than 400 swaps per day, as well as accelerated expansion of its network with plans to “install 1,000 Power Swap stations in 2023”. We view the continued build-out of Swap stations across the country as a key driver for reinforcing demand by addressing key roadblocks to EV purchases facing prospective buyers, which would inadvertently complement NIO’s continued production capacity production efforts (e.g. NeoPark) over the longer-term and benefit margin expansion via economies of scale.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Importance of Mass Market Sub-Brands</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Moving on to observations in the tier 5 county we had visited, EVs in general remain the minority on roads, which is not surprising given the high price of EVs. Although there are many more cars than electric bikes and scooters on the roads compared to a decade ago when the county was less connected to highways bridging critical city centers across China, the preference for EVs is low.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Despite the attractive less-than-$5,000 price tag on the Wuling Hongguang Mini, many residents of the tier 5 county shook their heads when asked if they would consider buying an EV as their next car, citing the lack of supporting charging infrastructure in the county. Admittedly, electricity is significantly less costly than gasoline in the region and the low total cost of EV ownership is generally attractive for those who reside in the lower-tier economic zones. And the Hongguang Mini makes an affordable option, with its range capability sufficient to address the travel needs of those residing in lower-tier economic zones, given their low exposure to long cross-country road trips. But with public charging solutions being harder to come by in most lower-tier economic zones, it makes even the highly affordable Hongguang Mini a hard pass, with many preferring mass market priced ICE vehicles instead.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Yet, these stories imply a significant opportunity for NIO as it prepares for the launch of its two lower-priced sub-brands aimed at gaining EV market share in the less penetrated tier 3 and below economic zones. With a growing volume of new condo developments in lower-tier economic zones to accommodate families that are moving out of the rural slums into the urban economic hubs, NIO faces an immense opportunity for expanding its network of public charging infrastructure to those areas. This is also consistent with management’s strategic build-out of its market share in lower-tier economic zones by focusing on the deployment of public charging infrastructure instead of vehicle showrooms or experience centers:</p><blockquote>When it comes to the expansion into the sub-tier cities, we&#39;re not talking about the deployment of the NIO houses or NIO spaces. We believe that the more efficient way is to deploy the power swap stations in the sub-tier cities.<em>Source: NIO 4Q22 Earnings Call Transcript</em></blockquote><p style=\"text-align: left;\">And with the upcoming launch of two lower-priced sub-brands to better compete against its mass market priced ICE rivals, NIO is positioned to benefit from share gains among one of the most eager spending segments across China in coming years. Specifically, consumption across lower-tier cities are expected to triple in the decade leading up to 2030 from $2.3 trillion to $7 trillion, thanks to “lower living costs” in said regions, which is key to driving population growth, and inadvertently, demand. Improved “infrastructure connectivity” between the lower- and higher-tier cities as observed in our recent trip to the tier 2 county is also a key driver for EV TAM expansion in favour of NIO’s mass market ambitions.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Tier 3 and below cities currently account for more than a third of China’s population, and even converting a small number of the segment to electric would mean significant EV TAM expansion on the horizon still in the country. With the post-pandemic recovery in China currently underway, NIO’s planned start of production for its sub-brand vehicles next year will likely coincide with fresh demand from lower-tier economic zones. And again, incremental demand volume will be key to enhancing economies of scale in the company’s newly expanded production capacity at NeoPark, thus alleviating margin pressure associated with NIO’s capital-intensive growth investments over the near- to medium-term.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">The Bottom Line</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">NIO’s ongoing growth initiatives likely remain years out from ramp-up to scale, making it clear its profitability in the near-term will continue to be less attractive relative to global peers like Tesla and BYD. The continued challenge of moving forward with capital-intensive investments to ensure adequate capitalization of longer-term market opportunities also sheds persistent uncertainties on NIO’s timeline for achieving GAAP-based profitability. But considering NIO’s observed progress in establishing the brand’s awareness and presence across China so far, alongside opportunities ahead as it scales volumes in its core tier 1 and tier 2 target markets, and readies for penetration in the budding tier 3 and below markets, the company’s longer-term prospects in the ongoing electrification of transportation remains optimistic.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Even with incremental consideration for lingering macroeconomic headwinds and persistent geopolitical and regulatory challenges facing Chinese equities, the stock likely remains undervalued at current levels as investors remain risk-off on capital-intensive and unprofitable investments amid the persistently uncertain macroeconomic backdrop. Based on our latest forecast for NIO, taking into consideration its first quarter deliveries and recent developments in the Chinese EV space, even a conservative perpetual growth rate of 1.5% at NIO, which is below the currently projected GDP expansion across its core markets and projected EV TAM expansion in China and globally to reflect its still modest market share, would be sufficient to drive upside potential towards at least $17 apiece – almost doubling returns from current levels.</p><p></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a7997a5adc1698b79d1cfa2e02b03da1\" alt=\"NIO Financial Forecast\" title=\"NIO Financial Forecast\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"165\"/><span>NIO Financial Forecast</span></p><p></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>NIO Financial Forecast (Author)</strong></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d19718bc8bd087bfcaf841efb43f7b48\" alt=\"NIO Valuation Analysis\" title=\"NIO Valuation Analysis\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"398\"/><span>NIO Valuation Analysis</span></p><p></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>NIO Valuation Analysis (Author)</strong></p><p></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f3e7b9fda2e6322d2eb5bebb287fac0c\" alt=\"NIO Valuation Analysis\" title=\"NIO Valuation Analysis\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"90\"/><span>NIO Valuation Analysis</span></p><p></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>NIO Sensitivity Analysis (Author)</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Admittedly, NIO’s capital-intensive business and unprofitable state does not bode favourably with China’s shaky post-pandemic recovery, potentially subjecting the stock to further volatility in the near-term.

The observations allowed us to juxtapose EV market opportunities across two segments of China’s diverse economy. To better put into perspective the economic differences of the two tiers, one boasts a significantly larger population with asset valuations almost 5x higher than the other. A brand-new condo development in a tier 5 city costs about RMB 4,300 ($625) per square meter, or about RMB 400 per square footage. Meanwhile, a brand-new condo development in a tier 2 city costs about RMB 25,500 per square meter, or about RMB 2,360 per square footage. This means in a tier 5 county, a decent sized condo can be purchased for about $100,000 with change, while the same amount would barely make a downpayment in a tier 2 city.With EVs largely still viewed as a luxury given its price imparity with ICEs, they remain largely absent in the lower-tier economic zones. When asked about EVs, the population in the tier 5 city we had visited would largely link the term with electric bikes and scooters instead of passenger cars. Admittedly, rapid economic development across China over the past decade has benefited the lower-tier economic zones, nonetheless, as evidenced by the dominance of passenger vehicles over electric bikes and scooters this time around compared to when we had last visited almost a decade ago. Critical infrastructure access – like toll highways – connecting the lower- and higher-tier economic zones have also been a key driver of wealth creation, and inadvertently, a transition in the dominant form of transportation from bikes to cars. Yet, battery electric and plug-in passenger cars remain a next level luxury, with mass market ICEs like those offered by Nissan (OTCPK:NSANY, OTCPK:NSANF), Toyota (TM) and legacy BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF, OTCPK:BYDDY) being the dominant choice still among the population residing in lower-tier economic zones.Meanwhile, in the higher-tier economic zones like the tier 2 city we had visited, EVs represent a meaningful mix of the passenger car fleet on the road – about a quarter to a third of cars observed in parking lots are likely plug-ins, consistent with the average EV penetration rate reported by recent data from the China Passenger Car Association. But to our surprise, Tesla (TSLA) viewings were not any more frequent than its local born peers, with BYD’s newest electric offerings being the clear market leader. In fact, Tesla’s reputation among the population residing in the tier 2 city we had visited remains largely mixed, with many citing safety concerns and fickle pricing as main reasons for abstaining from the brand.In NIO’s (NYSE:NIO) case, the premium EV maker clearly commands a fair share of its target market, with prominent sightings of the brand’s SUVs across all parking lots – malls, restaurants, homes, etc. – and on the road, indicating a reasonable demand environment in higher-tier economic zones consistent with management commentary from recent earnings calls. The diverse observations we had gathered from recent visits to the tier 2 and tier 5 cities have reinforced a few thoughts – namely, the importance of NIO’s upcoming launch of the mass market sub-brands to improve penetration in lower-tier economic zones, the key of ramping up its sedan offerings to compete for share against rival premium offerings in the ongoing ICE to electric transition, and the business’ capital-intensive nature that will continue to weigh on profitability within the foreseeable future.NIO in Tier 2NIO has largely focused penetration into the more affluent tier 1 and tier 2 cities across China in recent years, with its premium SUV offerings holding a double-digit penetration rate in those regions across both the ICE and electric segments:NIO's penetration in the Tier 1 and the Tier 2 cities in China has been growing at a much faster pace. In Shanghai, the first half of this year has witnessed our penetration in the premium SUV segment, reaching 13.7% among all ICE and the electric vehicles…This is already quite high and we have already achieved this in the Tier 1 city. So we believe this is a very good indicator for our next step to penetrating into more markets in different cities.Source: NIO 2Q21 Earnings Call TranscriptConsistent with observations in our latest visit to a tier 2 city in China, the bulk of NIO sightings remain SUV-heavy. Specifically, sightings of the recently introduced ET7 and ET5 sedans built on the higher-margin NT 2.0 platform were rare, and primarily concentrated in areas near the NIO studio. The first implication that comes to mind is that the ramp up of new demand for more recent sedan models potentially remains moderate, consistent with the relatively subdued EV market this year considering the lingering impacts of macroeconomic uncertainties and competition from lower-priced premium equivalents offered by market leader BYD. To our surprise though, sightings of NIO vehicles were no less than Tesla in the tier 2 city we had visited, potentially suggesting high concentration of Tesla vehicles in certain Chinese cities and an overall deceleration in market share gains by the EV pioneer in China.The observations corroborate our understanding of NIO’s resilience, nonetheless, among stiff competition within the increasingly crowded EV landscape in China, alongside other macro-driven and industry-wide challenges like the modest post-pandemic recovery and lingering supply chain constraints. Despite a modest rebound in recent consumer spending, both industrial output and investments – critical to buoying GDP growth – remain subdued based on recent economic data, with gradually slumping automotive sales.NIO Battery SwapIn addition to vehicle observations, we had also come across multiple NIO Swap stations and witnessed swift battery swaps in action, with efficient turnover to alleviate concerns of long wait times for the multi-car line-up. However, the NIO House studio we had come across was not as busy as expected. Marketed as an experience center aimed at bringing together a broader NIO ecosystem with sales of merchandise, food and drinks alongside, of course, its vehicles, the store was not any more busy than other in-mall showrooms installed by its EV peers. This indicates the costly lifestyle narrative, which big tech companies like Apple (AAPL) have successfully benefited from and NIO has been trying to replicate still needs some work.NIO House in Tier 2 CityHowever, our inquiries to several acquaintances that have test driven NIO vehicles were largely positive on the experience, including appreciation for the ride’s comfort and other in-vehicle technology features. Many have also pointed out the low cost of ownership as a plus, with less frequent trips to the service center for costly maintenance. There were only minor NIO-specific complaints, like how the placement of its NOMI in-vehicle smart assistant is awkwardly placed on the dashboard and somewhat in the way of the driver’s view of road conditions, unlike seamless integration of other in-vehicle smart assistants like BYD’s “Xiao Di” into the infotainment screen. But the main setback for pulling the trigger on EV purchases remain on restricted range capability relative to ICE vehicles, and the lack of public charging infrastructure availability.With ICE vehicles still dominating the roads, and a set of tools and offerings in the pipeline to address some of the key roadblocks to adoption among prospective buyers, NIO remains well positioned for further market share gains among the more affluent economic zones. Specifically, NIO continues to demonstrate commitment towards the build-out of conveniently accessible charging solutions, including the recent “deployment of the third-generation Power Swap station” capable of serving more than 400 swaps per day, as well as accelerated expansion of its network with plans to “install 1,000 Power Swap stations in 2023”. We view the continued build-out of Swap stations across the country as a key driver for reinforcing demand by addressing key roadblocks to EV purchases facing prospective buyers, which would inadvertently complement NIO’s continued production capacity production efforts (e.g. NeoPark) over the longer-term and benefit margin expansion via economies of scale.Importance of Mass Market Sub-BrandsMoving on to observations in the tier 5 county we had visited, EVs in general remain the minority on roads, which is not surprising given the high price of EVs. Although there are many more cars than electric bikes and scooters on the roads compared to a decade ago when the county was less connected to highways bridging critical city centers across China, the preference for EVs is low.Despite the attractive less-than-$5,000 price tag on the Wuling Hongguang Mini, many residents of the tier 5 county shook their heads when asked if they would consider buying an EV as their next car, citing the lack of supporting charging infrastructure in the county. Admittedly, electricity is significantly less costly than gasoline in the region and the low total cost of EV ownership is generally attractive for those who reside in the lower-tier economic zones. And the Hongguang Mini makes an affordable option, with its range capability sufficient to address the travel needs of those residing in lower-tier economic zones, given their low exposure to long cross-country road trips. But with public charging solutions being harder to come by in most lower-tier economic zones, it makes even the highly affordable Hongguang Mini a hard pass, with many preferring mass market priced ICE vehicles instead.Yet, these stories imply a significant opportunity for NIO as it prepares for the launch of its two lower-priced sub-brands aimed at gaining EV market share in the less penetrated tier 3 and below economic zones. With a growing volume of new condo developments in lower-tier economic zones to accommodate families that are moving out of the rural slums into the urban economic hubs, NIO faces an immense opportunity for expanding its network of public charging infrastructure to those areas. This is also consistent with management’s strategic build-out of its market share in lower-tier economic zones by focusing on the deployment of public charging infrastructure instead of vehicle showrooms or experience centers:When it comes to the expansion into the sub-tier cities, we're not talking about the deployment of the NIO houses or NIO spaces. We believe that the more efficient way is to deploy the power swap stations in the sub-tier cities.Source: NIO 4Q22 Earnings Call TranscriptAnd with the upcoming launch of two lower-priced sub-brands to better compete against its mass market priced ICE rivals, NIO is positioned to benefit from share gains among one of the most eager spending segments across China in coming years. Specifically, consumption across lower-tier cities are expected to triple in the decade leading up to 2030 from $2.3 trillion to $7 trillion, thanks to “lower living costs” in said regions, which is key to driving population growth, and inadvertently, demand. Improved “infrastructure connectivity” between the lower- and higher-tier cities as observed in our recent trip to the tier 2 county is also a key driver for EV TAM expansion in favour of NIO’s mass market ambitions.Tier 3 and below cities currently account for more than a third of China’s population, and even converting a small number of the segment to electric would mean significant EV TAM expansion on the horizon still in the country. With the post-pandemic recovery in China currently underway, NIO’s planned start of production for its sub-brand vehicles next year will likely coincide with fresh demand from lower-tier economic zones. And again, incremental demand volume will be key to enhancing economies of scale in the company’s newly expanded production capacity at NeoPark, thus alleviating margin pressure associated with NIO’s capital-intensive growth investments over the near- to medium-term.The Bottom LineNIO’s ongoing growth initiatives likely remain years out from ramp-up to scale, making it clear its profitability in the near-term will continue to be less attractive relative to global peers like Tesla and BYD. The continued challenge of moving forward with capital-intensive investments to ensure adequate capitalization of longer-term market opportunities also sheds persistent uncertainties on NIO’s timeline for achieving GAAP-based profitability. But considering NIO’s observed progress in establishing the brand’s awareness and presence across China so far, alongside opportunities ahead as it scales volumes in its core tier 1 and tier 2 target markets, and readies for penetration in the budding tier 3 and below markets, the company’s longer-term prospects in the ongoing electrification of transportation remains optimistic.Even with incremental consideration for lingering macroeconomic headwinds and persistent geopolitical and regulatory challenges facing Chinese equities, the stock likely remains undervalued at current levels as investors remain risk-off on capital-intensive and unprofitable investments amid the persistently uncertain macroeconomic backdrop. Based on our latest forecast for NIO, taking into consideration its first quarter deliveries and recent developments in the Chinese EV space, even a conservative perpetual growth rate of 1.5% at NIO, which is below the currently projected GDP expansion across its core markets and projected EV TAM expansion in China and globally to reflect its still modest market share, would be sufficient to drive upside potential towards at least $17 apiece – almost doubling returns from current levels.NIO Financial ForecastNIO Financial Forecast (Author)NIO Valuation AnalysisNIO Valuation Analysis (Author)NIO Valuation AnalysisNIO Sensitivity Analysis (Author)Admittedly, NIO’s capital-intensive business and unprofitable state does not bode favourably with China’s shaky post-pandemic recovery, potentially subjecting the stock to further volatility in the near-term.

But bank stocks were still down sharply, weighing on the Russell 2000. The Nasdaq rose sharply, led by tech titans such as <b>Microsoft</b> (MSFT), <b>Meta Platforms</b> (META) and <b>Nvidia</b> (NVDA).  Treasury yields plunged but came well off lows. Commodity prices tumbled.</p><h2>Stock Market Diverges</h2><p>A stock market rally attempt got underway, but there&#39;s been no follow-through day to confirm the attempt. There was a clear divergence between the Nasdaq and the other indexes, weighed down by banks and commodities. The Nasdaq surged above its 50-day and 200-day lines, even with a Friday pullback. led by tech titans and chipmakers. The S&amp;P 500 rose modestly, but fell back below its 200-day. The Dow Jones ended little changed for the week while the Russell 2000 tumbled. Treasury yields initially dived then roared back. Crude oil and copper prices dived.</p><h2>Bank Woes Spread, Lifelines Extended</h2><p>After SVB Financial and Signature Bank were shut down late in the prior week, there were more bank stresses. <b>Credit Suisse</b> (CS) tapped a $54 billion loan from the Swiss National Bank after the Swiss banking giant&#39;s stock hit a record low. <b>First Republic Bank</b> (FRC) bounced Thursday after getting a $30 billion deposit rescue from America&#39;s 11 largest banks, after securing $70 billion from <b>JPMorgan</b> (JPM) and the Federal Reserve on Sunday. But First Republic resumed its sell-off Friday as it suspended its dividend. Other banks also skidded again Friday. FDIC-controlled SVB Financial filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy amid efforts to auction off Silicon Valley Bank.</p><h2>Core Inflation Hot, Other Data Mixed</h2><p>Core inflation ran hotter than expected in February, likely enough to push the Fed to hike its key interest rate a half-point on March 22, if it weren&#39;t for the sudden eruption of a banking crisis. The consumer price index rose 0.4% on the month, pulling the annual CPI inflation rate down to 6% from 6.4% the prior month. But the core CPI, excluding food and energy, rose 0.5% from January, while the core CPI inflation rate held at 5.5%. Even worse, price gains were even hotter for nonhousing services such as dining out and haircuts, which both saw 0.6% monthly gains. Fed chair Jerome Powell has said nonhousing services are a key to the policy outlook because of their close link to wage growth.</p><p>Weekly data through March 11 showed jobless claims unexpectedly falling 20,000 to 192,000 in a further sign of labor market tightness. Even the depressed housing sector got a lift in February as housing starts leapt 9.8% to 1.45 million and building permits for future construction surged 13.8% to a 1.524 million annual rate.</p><p>However, the producer price index unexpectedly fell 0.1% in February as wholesale inflation eased to 4.6% from 5.7% in January. Retail sales slipped 0.4% in February after January&#39;s upwardly revised 3.2% gain.</p><h2>Meta Soars On New Layoffs, TikTok Ban Buzz</h2><p><b>Meta Platforms</b> (META) will cut 10,000 jobs in the coming months, after shedding 11,000 positions in November. The Facebook and Instagram parent also will leave several thousand positions unfilled. Meanwhile, the Biden administration threatened to ban TikTok unless its Chinese owners divest the video-sharing app, a potential boost for Meta, Snap and other social networks. META stock soared, breaking out of a base.</p><h2>Tesla China Sales Keep Rising</h2><p><b>Tesla</b> (TSLA) China EV registrations rose for a third straight week to 17,032. <b>BYD</b> (BYDDF) China registrations were more than double Tesla&#39;s, but fell for a second straight week. Other data signaled a pick up in European sales after additional price cuts there. TSLA stock rose modestly.</p><h2>United Airlines Dives On Warnings</h2><p><b>United Airlines</b> (UAL) unexpectedly warned on profits for the current quarter, raising demand concerns. Several carriers, including United, also raised jet-fuel cost estimates. <b>Delta Air Lines</b> (DAL) maintained its first-quarter outlook, saying travel demand is strong and getting stronger. <b>JetBlue Airways</b> (JBLU) hiked its revenue forecast. UAL stock plunged, with other airline stocks tumbling as well.</p><h2>Biotech Buyouts</h2><p>A pair of biotech buyouts drove shares higher.<b>Pfizer</b>(PFE) will pay $43 billion to buy<b>Seagen</b>(SGEN), a maker of antibody drug conjugates, or ADCs. These drugs carry payloads of toxic chemicals directed at specific targets on the outside of tumors, limiting their damage to healthy, surrounding tissue. Meanwhile, <b>Sanofi</b> (SNY) scooped up <b>Provention Bio</b> (PRVB) for $2.9 billion. Provention sells a drug to delay the onset of type 1 diabetes in people age 8 and older. It&#39;s allowed for people who have abnormal blood sugar but no symptoms of diabetes.</p><h2>News In Brief</h2><p><b>Sarepta Therapeutics</b> (SRPT) plunged Friday after the FDA reversed course and announced that it will hold an advisory panel for the biotech&#39;s gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy prior to an FDA approval decision. SRPT stock gapped up March 1 after the FDA decided against an advisory panel, suggesting a faster approval.</p><p><b>Boeing</b> (BA) announced an order for up to 121 787 Dreamliner jets from two Saudi airlines, including the national carrier Saudia and the brand-new Riyadh Air. The deal is worth an estimated $35 billion-$37 billion at list prices.</p><p><b>Amylyx Pharmaceuticals</b> (AMLX) topped Wall Street&#39;s fourth-quarter estimates, delivering $21.9 million in sales of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis drug Relyvrio.

But bank stocks were still down sharply, weighing on the Russell 2000. The Nasdaq rose sharply, led by tech titans such as Microsoft (MSFT), Meta Platforms (META) and Nvidia (NVDA).  Treasury yields plunged but came well off lows. Commodity prices tumbled.Stock Market DivergesA stock market rally attempt got underway, but there's been no follow-through day to confirm the attempt. There was a clear divergence between the Nasdaq and the other indexes, weighed down by banks and commodities. The Nasdaq surged above its 50-day and 200-day lines, even with a Friday pullback. led by tech titans and chipmakers. The S&P 500 rose modestly, but fell back below its 200-day. The Dow Jones ended little changed for the week while the Russell 2000 tumbled. Treasury yields initially dived then roared back. Crude oil and copper prices dived.Bank Woes Spread, Lifelines ExtendedAfter SVB Financial and Signature Bank were shut down late in the prior week, there were more bank stresses. Credit Suisse (CS) tapped a $54 billion loan from the Swiss National Bank after the Swiss banking giant's stock hit a record low. First Republic Bank (FRC) bounced Thursday after getting a $30 billion deposit rescue from America's 11 largest banks, after securing $70 billion from JPMorgan (JPM) and the Federal Reserve on Sunday. But First Republic resumed its sell-off Friday as it suspended its dividend. Other banks also skidded again Friday. FDIC-controlled SVB Financial filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy amid efforts to auction off Silicon Valley Bank.Core Inflation Hot, Other Data MixedCore inflation ran hotter than expected in February, likely enough to push the Fed to hike its key interest rate a half-point on March 22, if it weren't for the sudden eruption of a banking crisis. The consumer price index rose 0.4% on the month, pulling the annual CPI inflation rate down to 6% from 6.4% the prior month. But the core CPI, excluding food and energy, rose 0.5% from January, while the core CPI inflation rate held at 5.5%. Even worse, price gains were even hotter for nonhousing services such as dining out and haircuts, which both saw 0.6% monthly gains. Fed chair Jerome Powell has said nonhousing services are a key to the policy outlook because of their close link to wage growth.Weekly data through March 11 showed jobless claims unexpectedly falling 20,000 to 192,000 in a further sign of labor market tightness. Even the depressed housing sector got a lift in February as housing starts leapt 9.8% to 1.45 million and building permits for future construction surged 13.8% to a 1.524 million annual rate.However, the producer price index unexpectedly fell 0.1% in February as wholesale inflation eased to 4.6% from 5.7% in January. Retail sales slipped 0.4% in February after January's upwardly revised 3.2% gain.Meta Soars On New Layoffs, TikTok Ban BuzzMeta Platforms (META) will cut 10,000 jobs in the coming months, after shedding 11,000 positions in November. The Facebook and Instagram parent also will leave several thousand positions unfilled. Meanwhile, the Biden administration threatened to ban TikTok unless its Chinese owners divest the video-sharing app, a potential boost for Meta, Snap and other social networks. META stock soared, breaking out of a base.Tesla China Sales Keep RisingTesla (TSLA) China EV registrations rose for a third straight week to 17,032. BYD (BYDDF) China registrations were more than double Tesla's, but fell for a second straight week. Other data signaled a pick up in European sales after additional price cuts there. TSLA stock rose modestly.United Airlines Dives On WarningsUnited Airlines (UAL) unexpectedly warned on profits for the current quarter, raising demand concerns. Several carriers, including United, also raised jet-fuel cost estimates. Delta Air Lines (DAL) maintained its first-quarter outlook, saying travel demand is strong and getting stronger. JetBlue Airways (JBLU) hiked its revenue forecast. UAL stock plunged, with other airline stocks tumbling as well.Biotech BuyoutsA pair of biotech buyouts drove shares higher.Pfizer(PFE) will pay $43 billion to buySeagen(SGEN), a maker of antibody drug conjugates, or ADCs. These drugs carry payloads of toxic chemicals directed at specific targets on the outside of tumors, limiting their damage to healthy, surrounding tissue.

It's allowed for people who have abnormal blood sugar but no symptoms of diabetes.News In BriefSarepta Therapeutics (SRPT) plunged Friday after the FDA reversed course and announced that it will hold an advisory panel for the biotech's gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy prior to an FDA approval decision. SRPT stock gapped up March 1 after the FDA decided against an advisory panel, suggesting a faster approval.Boeing (BA) announced an order for up to 121 787 Dreamliner jets from two Saudi airlines, including the national carrier Saudia and the brand-new Riyadh Air. The deal is worth an estimated $35 billion-$37 billion at list prices.Amylyx Pharmaceuticals (AMLX) topped Wall Street's fourth-quarter estimates, delivering $21.9 million in sales of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis drug Relyvrio. Analysts called for only $4.7 million, according to FactSet. Amylyx stock jumped.Jabil (JBL) reported slightly better-than-expected fiscal second-quarter results and guided higher for the current quarter. The contract manufacturer said earnings rose 12% year over year while sales increased 8%.Lennar(LEN) reported a 21% EPS decline in its fiscal Q1, but that topped views.

At a time when the retail side of the business is producing giant losses, disappointing results from AWS aren't going to help the stock recover.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":244,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9927593712,"gmtCreate":1672531616937,"gmtModify":1676538701045,"author":{"id":"3580689210488653","authorId":"3580689210488653","name":"SilentWarrio","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c904a9b7d64fe6eb5230d2a57a74ffee","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580689210488653","authorIdStr":"3580689210488653"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Interesting","listText":"Interesting","text":"Interesting","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9927593712","repostId":"1169510739","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1169510739","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":1672412980,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1169510739?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-30 23:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Li Auto Jumps 2% in Morning Trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1169510739","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"The China-based EV maker sees record EV deliveries in December","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Li Auto Jumps 2% in Morning Trading.</p><p>Li Auto Inc. said Friday that it delivered more than 20,000 electric vehicles in December, which is more than 33% above the previous monthly record delivered last month.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ff33a58e6cdb4a69195369b6a23c40dc\" tg-width=\"793\" tg-height=\"670\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>The China-based EV maker’s announcement of preliminary delivery data comes just days after rival Nio Inc. sparked a selloff in EV maker stocks after “prudently” slashing its fourth-quarter delivery outlook, citing COVID-related production challenges and supply chain constraints.</p><p>At a media event in Guangzhou on Friday, Li Auto said “December deliveries will exceed 20,000 vehicles.” That would be up more than 42% from the 14,087 EVs delivered in December 2021, and up from November 2022’s monthly record of 15,034 EVs delivered.</p><p>The company also said it plans to hold a launch event for its Li L7 five-seat family sport-utility vehicle on Feb. 8.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Earlier this year, Berkshire initiated a position in <b>Markel</b>, which is sometimes referred to as a &#34;baby Berkshire&#34; because of its similarities with Berkshire Hathaway. And it owns over 3.1 million shares of Alphabet.</p><p>But this indirect ownership obviously isn&#39;t in the same ballpark as Buffett buying Alphabet shares outright. So why isn&#39;t he loading up on the stock?</p><p>My view is that it&#39;s for the same reasons why he didn&#39;t buy the stock years ago. The company is still outside his circle of competence, which makes it hard for him to assess its valuation.</p><p>What&#39;s more difficult to understand, though, is why Combs and Weschler haven&#39;t moved to invest in Alphabet. The company truly does check off a lot of boxes that they, like Buffett, like to see.</p><p>TikTok and ChatGPT have a long way to go to even have a chance at knocking Alphabet off its perch. There&#39;s a real chance that TikTok could be banned in the U.S. Alphabet has its own AI chatbot, LaMDA, which some believe is more advanced than ChatGPT.</p><p>Although Buffett has his toes in the water with Alphabet, his head (or the heads of his investment managers) could be in the sand. Now appears to be a once-in-a-decade opportunity to buy this exceptional 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>Why Isn't Warren Buffett Buying Alphabet (Google) Stock Hand Over Fist?</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\">\nWhy Isn't Warren Buffett Buying Alphabet (Google) Stock Hand Over Fist?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-12-23 22:01 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/12/22/warren-buffett-isnt-buying-alphabet-google-stock/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>What does Warren Buffett like in a stock?

The company's YouTube business is threatened, to some extent, by rivals such as TikTok. Some maintain that OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot could be \"a Google killer.\"Toes in the water, head in the sand?Buffett does have his toes in the water with Alphabet. Earlier this year, Berkshire initiated a position in Markel, which is sometimes referred to as a \"baby Berkshire\" because of its similarities with Berkshire Hathaway. And it owns over 3.1 million shares of Alphabet.But this indirect ownership obviously isn't in the same ballpark as Buffett buying Alphabet shares outright. So why isn't he loading up on the stock?My view is that it's for the same reasons why he didn't buy the stock years ago. The company is still outside his circle of competence, which makes it hard for him to assess its valuation.What's more difficult to understand, though, is why Combs and Weschler haven't moved to invest in Alphabet. The company truly does check off a lot of boxes that they, like Buffett, like to see.TikTok and ChatGPT have a long way to go to even have a chance at knocking Alphabet off its perch. There's a real chance that TikTok could be banned in the U.S. Alphabet has its own AI chatbot, LaMDA, which some believe is more advanced than ChatGPT.Although Buffett has his toes in the water with Alphabet, his head (or the heads of his investment managers) could be in the sand. Now appears to be a once-in-a-decade opportunity to buy this exceptional stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":138,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9922454322,"gmtCreate":1671834675866,"gmtModify":1676538600450,"author":{"id":"3580689210488653","authorId":"3580689210488653","name":"SilentWarrio","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c904a9b7d64fe6eb5230d2a57a74ffee","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580689210488653","authorIdStr":"3580689210488653"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9922454322","repostId":"2293551384","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2293551384","pubTimestamp":1671809458,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2293551384?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-23 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple: 3 Compelling Reasons To Invest In 2023","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2293551384","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryAmid macro concerns and supply disruptions, Apple has delivered a negative total return of 24","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>Summary</h2><ul><li>Amid macro concerns and supply disruptions, Apple has delivered a negative total return of 24% so far in 2022.</li><li>Supply challenges caused by Covid-19 related disruptions and semiconductor shortages will likely ease further in 2023.</li><li>Going forward, growth from services is expected to outpace product sales.</li><li>Apple&#39;s industry-leading margins are a testament to the strength of its brand and its loyal customer base.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/db66623bcd1945c607ab6f0d56b4ef0c\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"500\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Diego Thomazini/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p><p>Like many in the tech sector, <b>Apple</b> (NASDAQ:AAPL) has been affected by the more challenging macroeconomic environment in 2022. Year-to-date, investors have seen a negative total return of 24% from Apple’s stock, amid concerns about lingering supply chain disruptions and the growing risk of a hard landing for the economy in the coming year.</p><p>Despite the challenges, however, Apple looks well-prepared for a comeback in 2023. And here are three compelling reasons why.</p><h2>End In Sight For Covid-19 Related DisruptionSupply Disruption</h2><p>Supply challenges caused by Covid-19 related disruptions and an industry-wide semiconductor shortage continued to impact Apple&#39;s ability to meet customer demand for its products in 2022. More trouble could be yet to come, as Apple warned in November about lower iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone Pro Max shipments, following Covid-related labor shortages which have disrupted production at Foxconn’s main iPhone assembly facility in Zhengzhou, China.</p><p>But in an effort to improve supply chain resilience, Apple is diversifying its supply chain beyond China. With more production shifting to India and Vietnam and increased procurement from the US, Taiwan and elsewhere, the company will in future be better protected from localized manufacturing risks, as well as trade and geopolitical tensions.</p><p>The supply issues aren’t over yet, but the end is clearly in sight. As chip makers have ramped up production to meet demand, silicon-related supply constraints have already eased significantly during the course of the year. The supply position for iPads and MacBook Pro, which had been considerably constrained throughout most of 2021 and during the first half of 2022, has also improved significantly since then.</p><p>Moreover, with China now moving away from its zero-Covid policy, pandemic-related supply disruption issues may soon finally be no more. Things might get a little worse in the short term, as rising infections temporarily exacerbate existing supply challenges and Covid-related labor shortages. In the longer term, however, the benefits will rack up - as a shift away from strict social controls and unsustainable ‘closed-loop’ manufacturing operations will eventually lead to an enduring improvement in the supply situation.</p><h2>Demand Recovery</h2><p>The same could be said on the demand side too. In the short term, there will be a hit to consumer spending, as people across China choose to stay at home either because they have become unwell with Covid or are trying to avoid catching the virus. After a couple of months though, a return to normality should eventually lead to higher economic activity, and in particular, increased consumer spending.</p><p>We’ve seen the same pattern across the globe as other countries have abandoned their strict Covid-containment strategies and learned to live with the virus. Pent-up demand and an improvement in consumer confidence, driven by better job security and increased employment opportunities, would likely lead to a resurgence in Apple’s sales growth in China too.</p><p>Demonstrating the recent depressed demand, Apple’s sales growth in Greater China, which includes Hong Kong and Taiwan, slowed to just 9% in the year to September 24, 2022, down from 70% in 2021. This was largely attributable to macro factors, as Apple extended its market share lead in its most important market - premium smartphones. In the $600-plus smartphone space, its market share rose to 70% in China in the second quarter of 2022, up from 58% in Q1, according to data from market research firm IDC.</p><p>And while a recovery may only be noticeable from the second half of 2023, it’s important to remember that investor sentiment usually improves before the temporary disruption is over - as investors will likely anticipate a recovery before it actually takes place.</p><h2>Service Revenue OpportunityiOS Services and Apple TV+</h2><p>Although product sales generate a substantial majority of revenues, it’s clear that services are of growing importance to Apple’s growth.</p><p>Of course, the opportunity from services is inextricably linked to the size of its user base - things from the App store and other related services simply cannot sell well unless people are spending time on the company’s devices. But that doesn’t mean revenue from services won’t continue to outpace product sales - as demand for digital content, sold through its App Store, Apple Music and other digital content stores, is expected to hold up well in a still rapidly expanding market.</p><p>Services are a higher margin business too - Apple generated a gross margin of 71.7% from services in 2022, compared to 36.3% for device products. Looking ahead, recent price increases on Apple Music, TV+ and its One bundle will likely drive revenue growth and further margin improvement in coming quarters. These pricing changes were only announced in late October, and have yet to show up in its latest financial results.</p><p>On the downside, competition and regulatory risks, particularly those relating to its App Store, is a potential headwind. The proposed EU Digital Markets Act could force Apple to open up the distribution of apps on iOS devices.</p><p>The potential impact to Apple’s bottom line would likely be limited, however, as the proportion of users opting to purchase products from other sources is expected to be very small. As we can see from Android users, who can already install apps outside of Google’s Play Store, only a small minority of users actually choose to take advantage of the extra competition, due to network effects, security concerns and sticky behavioral patterns. This reflects a &#39;winner takes all&#39; market that demonstrates the value of scale in attracting customers and developers alike.</p><h2>Advertising &amp; Fintech</h2><p>Beyond this, Apple is looking to exploit growth in other services. It has a growing presence in the mobile advertising market - Apple Search Ads on its App Store is a relatively new entrant that has great potential. Its ads business has seen particularly strong growth, at a time when its competitors have been negatively affected by the introduction of its privacy changes last year, namely Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework. And going forwards, there’s scope for more ad placements in more of its iOS apps, such as Music, Books, Fitness and Podcasts, as well as on its Apple TV+ streaming service.</p><p>Apple is looking at opportunities to grow in the financial technology (fintech) space too. Apple Pay, its mobile payments service, is currently its biggest success, but its ambitions do not rest there. The company partnered with Goldman Sachs to launch Apple Card in 2019, and has plans to launch Apple Pay Later - a buy now pay later (BNPL) service that directly competes with the likes of Klarna (KLAR), Affirm (AFRM) and Afterpay.</p><p>The global fintech market is projected to grow by a compound annual rate of about 25% over the next five years, and reach a market value of approximately $324 billion by 2026.</p><h2>Improving Margins</h2><p>Finally, improving margins is another reason to be bullish on Apple. The company’s industry-leading margins are a testament to the strength of its brand and its loyal customer base. It gives the company an element of revenue visibility that other businesses simply don&#39;t have.</p><p>And such is Apple&#39;s wide moat that the company enjoys strong pricing power - which continues to deliver for its gross margin. It has enabled the company to hike prices not only for services, which were discussed above, but also for its products. Higher prices for its iPhone 14 devices were seen in a number of markets outside of the US and China, as the company sought to offset FX headwinds from the stronger dollar.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><b>Gross margin</b></td><td><b>2022</b></td><td><b>2021</b></td><td><b>2020</b></td></tr><tr><td>Products</td><td>36.3%</td><td>35.3%</td><td>31.5%</td></tr><tr><td>Services</td><td>71.7%</td><td>69.7%</td><td>66.0%</td></tr><tr><td><b>Total</b></td><td><b> 43.3%</b></td><td><b> 41.8%</b></td><td><b> 38.2%</b></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: Apple&#39;s 2022 Annual Report</p><p>Apple’s gross margin has increased by 150 basis points over the past year, to 43.3%. This reflected stronger margins for both products and services, as well as a favorable shift in the revenue mix towards higher margin services.</p><p>Widening margins benefit Apple’s bottom line as it enables earnings growth to outpace revenue growth. This combined with the benefit of stock buybacks, which reduces Apple’s share count and further raises its earnings per share.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha_fund","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Year-to-date, investors have seen a negative total return of 24% from Apple’s stock, amid concerns about lingering supply chain disruptions and the growing risk of a hard landing for the economy in the coming year.Despite the challenges, however, Apple looks well-prepared for a comeback in 2023. And here are three compelling reasons why.End In Sight For Covid-19 Related DisruptionSupply DisruptionSupply challenges caused by Covid-19 related disruptions and an industry-wide semiconductor shortage continued to impact Apple's ability to meet customer demand for its products in 2022. More trouble could be yet to come, as Apple warned in November about lower iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone Pro Max shipments, following Covid-related labor shortages which have disrupted production at Foxconn’s main iPhone assembly facility in Zhengzhou, China.But in an effort to improve supply chain resilience, Apple is diversifying its supply chain beyond China.

He named it his “best idea” for 2023 in a Monday note to clients.</p><p>The issues Nvidia has had over the past year “were just short-term distractions from the acute fundamental thesis: NVIDIA is the leader in accelerated compute and the key enabler for AI [artificial intelligence] across vertical industries — full stop,” Ramsay wrote.</p><p>In his view, Wall Street underappreciates a number of elements of Nvidia’s story.

He named it his “best idea” for 2023 in a Monday note to clients.The issues Nvidia has had over the past year “were just short-term distractions from the acute fundamental thesis: NVIDIA is the leader in accelerated compute and the key enabler for AI [artificial intelligence] across vertical industries — full stop,” Ramsay wrote.In his view, Wall Street underappreciates a number of elements of Nvidia’s story. For one, it discounts “how early we are in AI penetration, and the ability for [Nvidia] to create new markets [and] use cases through product innovation (both hardware and software).”Additionally, Ramsay thinks that investors aren’t giving Nvidia enough credit for its potential to keep increasing average selling prices on the back of scaling artificial-intelligence performance.“The combination of these drives our above-consensus estimates, particularly in Datacenter,” he said.Ramsay is upbeat about “several strong product cycles” in the year ahead. Nvidia’s “next-gen datacenter accelerator H100 is rampingnow,” he wrote, and its ARM-based Grace central processing unit (CPU) is expected in the first half of 2023.What’s more, the gaming business had been volatile thanks to crypto-mining demand, but Ramsay sees “early signs of channel normalization” in this area, which sets a path for “a return to growth in that business — now permanently free of crypto bangs/busts.”Nvidia shares are ahead 0.7% in Monday afternoon trading and recently changed hands north of $171.

The observations allowed us to juxtapose EV market opportunities across two segments of China’s diverse economy. To better put into perspective the economic differences of the two tiers, one boasts a significantly larger population with asset valuations almost 5x higher than the other. A brand-new condo development in a tier 5 city costs about RMB 4,300 ($625) per square meter, or about RMB 400 per square footage. Meanwhile, a brand-new condo development in a tier 2 city costs about RMB 25,500 per square meter, or about RMB 2,360 per square footage. This means in a tier 5 county, a decent sized condo can be purchased for about $100,000 with change, while the same amount would barely make a downpayment in a tier 2 city.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">With EVs largely still viewed as a luxury given its price imparity with ICEs, they remain largely absent in the lower-tier economic zones. When asked about EVs, the population in the tier 5 city we had visited would largely link the term with electric bikes and scooters instead of passenger cars. Admittedly, rapid economic development across China over the past decade has benefited the lower-tier economic zones, nonetheless, as evidenced by the dominance of passenger vehicles over electric bikes and scooters this time around compared to when we had last visited almost a decade ago. Critical infrastructure access – like toll highways – connecting the lower- and higher-tier economic zones have also been a key driver of wealth creation, and inadvertently, a transition in the dominant form of transportation from bikes to cars. Yet, battery electric and plug-in passenger cars remain a next level luxury, with mass market ICEs like those offered by Nissan (OTCPK:NSANY, OTCPK:NSANF), Toyota (TM) and legacy BYD (OTCPK:BYDDF, OTCPK:BYDDY) being the dominant choice still among the population residing in lower-tier economic zones.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Meanwhile, in the higher-tier economic zones like the tier 2 city we had visited, EVs represent a meaningful mix of the passenger car fleet on the road – about a quarter to a third of cars observed in parking lots are likely plug-ins, consistent with the average EV penetration rate reported by recent data from the China Passenger Car Association. But to our surprise, Tesla (TSLA) viewings were not any more frequent than its local born peers, with BYD’s newest electric offerings being the clear market leader. In fact, Tesla’s reputation among the population residing in the tier 2 city we had visited remains largely mixed, with many citing safety concerns and fickle pricing as main reasons for abstaining from the brand.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In NIO’s (NYSE:NIO) case, the premium EV maker clearly commands a fair share of its target market, with prominent sightings of the brand’s SUVs across all parking lots – malls, restaurants, homes, etc. – and on the road, indicating a reasonable demand environment in higher-tier economic zones consistent with management commentary from recent earnings calls. The diverse observations we had gathered from recent visits to the tier 2 and tier 5 cities have reinforced a few thoughts – namely, the importance of NIO’s upcoming launch of the mass market sub-brands to improve penetration in lower-tier economic zones, the key of ramping up its sedan offerings to compete for share against rival premium offerings in the ongoing ICE to electric transition, and the business’ capital-intensive nature that will continue to weigh on profitability within the foreseeable future.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">NIO in Tier 2</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">NIO has largely focused penetration into the more affluent tier 1 and tier 2 cities across China in recent years, with its premium SUV offerings holding a double-digit penetration rate in those regions across both the ICE and electric segments:</p><blockquote>NIO&#39;s penetration in the Tier 1 and the Tier 2 cities in China has been growing at a much faster pace. In Shanghai, the first half of this year has witnessed our penetration in the premium SUV segment, reaching 13.7% among all ICE and the electric vehicles…This is already quite high and we have already achieved this in the Tier 1 city. So we believe this is a very good indicator for our next step to penetrating into more markets in different cities.<em>Source: NIO 2Q21 Earnings Call Transcript</em></blockquote><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Consistent with observations in our latest visit to a tier 2 city in China, the bulk of NIO sightings remain SUV-heavy. Specifically, sightings of the recently introduced ET7 and ET5 sedans built on the higher-margin NT 2.0 platform were rare, and primarily concentrated in areas near the NIO studio. The first implication that comes to mind is that the ramp up of new demand for more recent sedan models potentially remains moderate, consistent with the relatively subdued EV market this year considering the lingering impacts of macroeconomic uncertainties and competition from lower-priced premium equivalents offered by market leader BYD. To our surprise though, sightings of NIO vehicles were no less than Tesla in the tier 2 city we had visited, potentially suggesting high concentration of Tesla vehicles in certain Chinese cities and an overall deceleration in market share gains by the EV pioneer in China.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">The observations corroborate our understanding of NIO’s resilience, nonetheless, among stiff competition within the increasingly crowded EV landscape in China, alongside other macro-driven and industry-wide challenges like the modest post-pandemic recovery and lingering supply chain constraints. Despite a modest rebound in recent consumer spending, both industrial output and investments – critical to buoying GDP growth – remain subdued based on recent economic data, with gradually slumping automotive sales.</p><p></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/85e65bb67d8dbe9b3d0a8e022d6deca9\" alt=\"NIO Battery Swap\" title=\"NIO Battery Swap\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"480\"/><span>NIO Battery Swap</span></p><p></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">In addition to vehicle observations, we had also come across multiple NIO Swap stations and witnessed swift battery swaps in action, with efficient turnover to alleviate concerns of long wait times for the multi-car line-up. However, the NIO House studio we had come across was not as busy as expected. Marketed as an experience center aimed at bringing together a broader NIO ecosystem with sales of merchandise, food and drinks alongside, of course, its vehicles, the store was not any more busy than other in-mall showrooms installed by its EV peers. This indicates the costly lifestyle narrative, which big tech companies like Apple (AAPL) have successfully benefited from and NIO has been trying to replicate still needs some work.</p><p></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a6e79791d38655cd6e047af3f9b87a99\" alt=\"NIO House in Tier 2 City\" title=\"NIO House in Tier 2 City\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"853\"/><span>NIO House in Tier 2 City</span></p><p></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">However, our inquiries to several acquaintances that have test driven NIO vehicles were largely positive on the experience, including appreciation for the ride’s comfort and other in-vehicle technology features. Many have also pointed out the low cost of ownership as a plus, with less frequent trips to the service center for costly maintenance. There were only minor NIO-specific complaints, like how the placement of its NOMI in-vehicle smart assistant is awkwardly placed on the dashboard and somewhat in the way of the driver’s view of road conditions, unlike seamless integration of other in-vehicle smart assistants like BYD’s “Xiao Di” into the infotainment screen. But the main setback for pulling the trigger on EV purchases remain on restricted range capability relative to ICE vehicles, and the lack of public charging infrastructure availability.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">With ICE vehicles still dominating the roads, and a set of tools and offerings in the pipeline to address some of the key roadblocks to adoption among prospective buyers, NIO remains well positioned for further market share gains among the more affluent economic zones. Specifically, NIO continues to demonstrate commitment towards the build-out of conveniently accessible charging solutions, including the recent “deployment of the third-generation Power Swap station” capable of serving more than 400 swaps per day, as well as accelerated expansion of its network with plans to “install 1,000 Power Swap stations in 2023”. We view the continued build-out of Swap stations across the country as a key driver for reinforcing demand by addressing key roadblocks to EV purchases facing prospective buyers, which would inadvertently complement NIO’s continued production capacity production efforts (e.g. NeoPark) over the longer-term and benefit margin expansion via economies of scale.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Importance of Mass Market Sub-Brands</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Moving on to observations in the tier 5 county we had visited, EVs in general remain the minority on roads, which is not surprising given the high price of EVs. Although there are many more cars than electric bikes and scooters on the roads compared to a decade ago when the county was less connected to highways bridging critical city centers across China, the preference for EVs is low.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Despite the attractive less-than-$5,000 price tag on the Wuling Hongguang Mini, many residents of the tier 5 county shook their heads when asked if they would consider buying an EV as their next car, citing the lack of supporting charging infrastructure in the county. Admittedly, electricity is significantly less costly than gasoline in the region and the low total cost of EV ownership is generally attractive for those who reside in the lower-tier economic zones. And the Hongguang Mini makes an affordable option, with its range capability sufficient to address the travel needs of those residing in lower-tier economic zones, given their low exposure to long cross-country road trips. But with public charging solutions being harder to come by in most lower-tier economic zones, it makes even the highly affordable Hongguang Mini a hard pass, with many preferring mass market priced ICE vehicles instead.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Yet, these stories imply a significant opportunity for NIO as it prepares for the launch of its two lower-priced sub-brands aimed at gaining EV market share in the less penetrated tier 3 and below economic zones. With a growing volume of new condo developments in lower-tier economic zones to accommodate families that are moving out of the rural slums into the urban economic hubs, NIO faces an immense opportunity for expanding its network of public charging infrastructure to those areas. This is also consistent with management’s strategic build-out of its market share in lower-tier economic zones by focusing on the deployment of public charging infrastructure instead of vehicle showrooms or experience centers:</p><blockquote>When it comes to the expansion into the sub-tier cities, we&#39;re not talking about the deployment of the NIO houses or NIO spaces. We believe that the more efficient way is to deploy the power swap stations in the sub-tier cities.<em>Source: NIO 4Q22 Earnings Call Transcript</em></blockquote><p style=\"text-align: left;\">And with the upcoming launch of two lower-priced sub-brands to better compete against its mass market priced ICE rivals, NIO is positioned to benefit from share gains among one of the most eager spending segments across China in coming years. Specifically, consumption across lower-tier cities are expected to triple in the decade leading up to 2030 from $2.3 trillion to $7 trillion, thanks to “lower living costs” in said regions, which is key to driving population growth, and inadvertently, demand. Improved “infrastructure connectivity” between the lower- and higher-tier cities as observed in our recent trip to the tier 2 county is also a key driver for EV TAM expansion in favour of NIO’s mass market ambitions.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Tier 3 and below cities currently account for more than a third of China’s population, and even converting a small number of the segment to electric would mean significant EV TAM expansion on the horizon still in the country. With the post-pandemic recovery in China currently underway, NIO’s planned start of production for its sub-brand vehicles next year will likely coincide with fresh demand from lower-tier economic zones. And again, incremental demand volume will be key to enhancing economies of scale in the company’s newly expanded production capacity at NeoPark, thus alleviating margin pressure associated with NIO’s capital-intensive growth investments over the near- to medium-term.</p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">The Bottom Line</h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\">NIO’s ongoing growth initiatives likely remain years out from ramp-up to scale, making it clear its profitability in the near-term will continue to be less attractive relative to global peers like Tesla and BYD. The continued challenge of moving forward with capital-intensive investments to ensure adequate capitalization of longer-term market opportunities also sheds persistent uncertainties on NIO’s timeline for achieving GAAP-based profitability. But considering NIO’s observed progress in establishing the brand’s awareness and presence across China so far, alongside opportunities ahead as it scales volumes in its core tier 1 and tier 2 target markets, and readies for penetration in the budding tier 3 and below markets, the company’s longer-term prospects in the ongoing electrification of transportation remains optimistic.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Even with incremental consideration for lingering macroeconomic headwinds and persistent geopolitical and regulatory challenges facing Chinese equities, the stock likely remains undervalued at current levels as investors remain risk-off on capital-intensive and unprofitable investments amid the persistently uncertain macroeconomic backdrop. Based on our latest forecast for NIO, taking into consideration its first quarter deliveries and recent developments in the Chinese EV space, even a conservative perpetual growth rate of 1.5% at NIO, which is below the currently projected GDP expansion across its core markets and projected EV TAM expansion in China and globally to reflect its still modest market share, would be sufficient to drive upside potential towards at least $17 apiece – almost doubling returns from current levels.</p><p></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a7997a5adc1698b79d1cfa2e02b03da1\" alt=\"NIO Financial Forecast\" title=\"NIO Financial Forecast\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"165\"/><span>NIO Financial Forecast</span></p><p></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>NIO Financial Forecast (Author)</strong></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d19718bc8bd087bfcaf841efb43f7b48\" alt=\"NIO Valuation Analysis\" title=\"NIO Valuation Analysis\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"398\"/><span>NIO Valuation Analysis</span></p><p></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>NIO Valuation Analysis (Author)</strong></p><p></p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f3e7b9fda2e6322d2eb5bebb287fac0c\" alt=\"NIO Valuation Analysis\" title=\"NIO Valuation Analysis\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"90\"/><span>NIO Valuation Analysis</span></p><p></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>NIO Sensitivity Analysis (Author)</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Admittedly, NIO’s capital-intensive business and unprofitable state does not bode favourably with China’s shaky post-pandemic recovery, potentially subjecting the stock to further volatility in the near-term. Ongoing regulatory and geological risks facing the broader cohort of Chinese investments will also remain a drag on NIO’s optimal valuation prospects relative to its global peers in the west. However, NIO’s continued progress in penetrating new market share and capitalizing on demand opportunities across China’s segmented economy remains supportive of a recovery in the stock from current levels. Looking ahead, we remain focused on consistent developments pertaining to NIO’s mass market sub-brand offerings, public charging infrastructure build-out, and production ramp-up to scale as key drivers to restoring investors’ confidence in the stock.</p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Editor&#39;s Note: This article discusses one or more securities that do not trade on a major U.S. exchange.

The diverse observations we had gathered from recent visits to the tier 2 and tier 5 cities have reinforced a few thoughts – namely, the importance of NIO’s upcoming launch of the mass market sub-brands to improve penetration in lower-tier economic zones, the key of ramping up its sedan offerings to compete for share against rival premium offerings in the ongoing ICE to electric transition, and the business’ capital-intensive nature that will continue to weigh on profitability within the foreseeable future.NIO in Tier 2NIO has largely focused penetration into the more affluent tier 1 and tier 2 cities across China in recent years, with its premium SUV offerings holding a double-digit penetration rate in those regions across both the ICE and electric segments:NIO's penetration in the Tier 1 and the Tier 2 cities in China has been growing at a much faster pace. In Shanghai, the first half of this year has witnessed our penetration in the premium SUV segment, reaching 13.7% among all ICE and the electric vehicles…This is already quite high and we have already achieved this in the Tier 1 city. So we believe this is a very good indicator for our next step to penetrating into more markets in different cities.Source: NIO 2Q21 Earnings Call TranscriptConsistent with observations in our latest visit to a tier 2 city in China, the bulk of NIO sightings remain SUV-heavy. Specifically, sightings of the recently introduced ET7 and ET5 sedans built on the higher-margin NT 2.0 platform were rare, and primarily concentrated in areas near the NIO studio. The first implication that comes to mind is that the ramp up of new demand for more recent sedan models potentially remains moderate, consistent with the relatively subdued EV market this year considering the lingering impacts of macroeconomic uncertainties and competition from lower-priced premium equivalents offered by market leader BYD. To our surprise though, sightings of NIO vehicles were no less than Tesla in the tier 2 city we had visited, potentially suggesting high concentration of Tesla vehicles in certain Chinese cities and an overall deceleration in market share gains by the EV pioneer in China.The observations corroborate our understanding of NIO’s resilience, nonetheless, among stiff competition within the increasingly crowded EV landscape in China, alongside other macro-driven and industry-wide challenges like the modest post-pandemic recovery and lingering supply chain constraints. Despite a modest rebound in recent consumer spending, both industrial output and investments – critical to buoying GDP growth – remain subdued based on recent economic data, with gradually slumping automotive sales.NIO Battery SwapIn addition to vehicle observations, we had also come across multiple NIO Swap stations and witnessed swift battery swaps in action, with efficient turnover to alleviate concerns of long wait times for the multi-car line-up. However, the NIO House studio we had come across was not as busy as expected. Marketed as an experience center aimed at bringing together a broader NIO ecosystem with sales of merchandise, food and drinks alongside, of course, its vehicles, the store was not any more busy than other in-mall showrooms installed by its EV peers. This indicates the costly lifestyle narrative, which big tech companies like Apple (AAPL) have successfully benefited from and NIO has been trying to replicate still needs some work.NIO House in Tier 2 CityHowever, our inquiries to several acquaintances that have test driven NIO vehicles were largely positive on the experience, including appreciation for the ride’s comfort and other in-vehicle technology features. Many have also pointed out the low cost of ownership as a plus, with less frequent trips to the service center for costly maintenance. There were only minor NIO-specific complaints, like how the placement of its NOMI in-vehicle smart assistant is awkwardly placed on the dashboard and somewhat in the way of the driver’s view of road conditions, unlike seamless integration of other in-vehicle smart assistants like BYD’s “Xiao Di” into the infotainment screen. But the main setback for pulling the trigger on EV purchases remain on restricted range capability relative to ICE vehicles, and the lack of public charging infrastructure availability.With ICE vehicles still dominating the roads, and a set of tools and offerings in the pipeline to address some of the key roadblocks to adoption among prospective buyers, NIO remains well positioned for further market share gains among the more affluent economic zones. Specifically, NIO continues to demonstrate commitment towards the build-out of conveniently accessible charging solutions, including the recent “deployment of the third-generation Power Swap station” capable of serving more than 400 swaps per day, as well as accelerated expansion of its network with plans to “install 1,000 Power Swap stations in 2023”. We view the continued build-out of Swap stations across the country as a key driver for reinforcing demand by addressing key roadblocks to EV purchases facing prospective buyers, which would inadvertently complement NIO’s continued production capacity production efforts (e.g. NeoPark) over the longer-term and benefit margin expansion via economies of scale.Importance of Mass Market Sub-BrandsMoving on to observations in the tier 5 county we had visited, EVs in general remain the minority on roads, which is not surprising given the high price of EVs. Although there are many more cars than electric bikes and scooters on the roads compared to a decade ago when the county was less connected to highways bridging critical city centers across China, the preference for EVs is low.Despite the attractive less-than-$5,000 price tag on the Wuling Hongguang Mini, many residents of the tier 5 county shook their heads when asked if they would consider buying an EV as their next car, citing the lack of supporting charging infrastructure in the county. Admittedly, electricity is significantly less costly than gasoline in the region and the low total cost of EV ownership is generally attractive for those who reside in the lower-tier economic zones. And the Hongguang Mini makes an affordable option, with its range capability sufficient to address the travel needs of those residing in lower-tier economic zones, given their low exposure to long cross-country road trips. But with public charging solutions being harder to come by in most lower-tier economic zones, it makes even the highly affordable Hongguang Mini a hard pass, with many preferring mass market priced ICE vehicles instead.Yet, these stories imply a significant opportunity for NIO as it prepares for the launch of its two lower-priced sub-brands aimed at gaining EV market share in the less penetrated tier 3 and below economic zones. With a growing volume of new condo developments in lower-tier economic zones to accommodate families that are moving out of the rural slums into the urban economic hubs, NIO faces an immense opportunity for expanding its network of public charging infrastructure to those areas. This is also consistent with management’s strategic build-out of its market share in lower-tier economic zones by focusing on the deployment of public charging infrastructure instead of vehicle showrooms or experience centers:When it comes to the expansion into the sub-tier cities, we're not talking about the deployment of the NIO houses or NIO spaces. We believe that the more efficient way is to deploy the power swap stations in the sub-tier cities.Source: NIO 4Q22 Earnings Call TranscriptAnd with the upcoming launch of two lower-priced sub-brands to better compete against its mass market priced ICE rivals, NIO is positioned to benefit from share gains among one of the most eager spending segments across China in coming years. Specifically, consumption across lower-tier cities are expected to triple in the decade leading up to 2030 from $2.3 trillion to $7 trillion, thanks to “lower living costs” in said regions, which is key to driving population growth, and inadvertently, demand. Improved “infrastructure connectivity” between the lower- and higher-tier cities as observed in our recent trip to the tier 2 county is also a key driver for EV TAM expansion in favour of NIO’s mass market ambitions.Tier 3 and below cities currently account for more than a third of China’s population, and even converting a small number of the segment to electric would mean significant EV TAM expansion on the horizon still in the country. With the post-pandemic recovery in China currently underway, NIO’s planned start of production for its sub-brand vehicles next year will likely coincide with fresh demand from lower-tier economic zones. And again, incremental demand volume will be key to enhancing economies of scale in the company’s newly expanded production capacity at NeoPark, thus alleviating margin pressure associated with NIO’s capital-intensive growth investments over the near- to medium-term.The Bottom LineNIO’s ongoing growth initiatives likely remain years out from ramp-up to scale, making it clear its profitability in the near-term will continue to be less attractive relative to global peers like Tesla and BYD. The continued challenge of moving forward with capital-intensive investments to ensure adequate capitalization of longer-term market opportunities also sheds persistent uncertainties on NIO’s timeline for achieving GAAP-based profitability. But considering NIO’s observed progress in establishing the brand’s awareness and presence across China so far, alongside opportunities ahead as it scales volumes in its core tier 1 and tier 2 target markets, and readies for penetration in the budding tier 3 and below markets, the company’s longer-term prospects in the ongoing electrification of transportation remains optimistic.Even with incremental consideration for lingering macroeconomic headwinds and persistent geopolitical and regulatory challenges facing Chinese equities, the stock likely remains undervalued at current levels as investors remain risk-off on capital-intensive and unprofitable investments amid the persistently uncertain macroeconomic backdrop. Based on our latest forecast for NIO, taking into consideration its first quarter deliveries and recent developments in the Chinese EV space, even a conservative perpetual growth rate of 1.5% at NIO, which is below the currently projected GDP expansion across its core markets and projected EV TAM expansion in China and globally to reflect its still modest market share, would be sufficient to drive upside potential towards at least $17 apiece – almost doubling returns from current levels.NIO Financial ForecastNIO Financial Forecast (Author)NIO Valuation AnalysisNIO Valuation Analysis (Author)NIO Valuation AnalysisNIO Sensitivity Analysis (Author)Admittedly, NIO’s capital-intensive business and unprofitable state does not bode favourably with China’s shaky post-pandemic recovery, potentially subjecting the stock to further volatility in the near-term. Ongoing regulatory and geological risks facing the broader cohort of Chinese investments will also remain a drag on NIO’s optimal valuation prospects relative to its global peers in the west. However, NIO’s continued progress in penetrating new market share and capitalizing on demand opportunities across China’s segmented economy remains supportive of a recovery in the stock from current levels. Looking ahead, we remain focused on consistent developments pertaining to NIO’s mass market sub-brand offerings, public charging infrastructure build-out, and production ramp-up to scale as key drivers to restoring investors’ confidence in the stock.Editor's Note: This article discusses one or more securities that do not trade on a major U.S. exchange.

To me, it means basically panic mode, and investors are going to be running out of what they deem a burning building.”The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 384 points Friday, the S&P 500 index fell 1.1% and the Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 0.7%, according to FactSet.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":374,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9033058805,"gmtCreate":1646173030985,"gmtModify":1676534097259,"author":{"id":"3580689210488653","authorId":"3580689210488653","name":"SilentWarrio","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c904a9b7d64fe6eb5230d2a57a74ffee","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580689210488653","authorIdStr":"3580689210488653"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice...","listText":"Nice...","text":"Nice...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":10,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9033058805","repostId":"1174986323","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1174986323","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":1646147021,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1174986323?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-03-01 23:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"TSMC Shares Bucked the Trend and Rose 3% in Early Trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1174986323","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"TSMC shares bucked the trend and rose 3% in early trading.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>TSMC shares bucked the trend and rose 3% in early trading.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec719039e88adba7b6a1d3f0d3998115\" tg-width=\"843\" tg-height=\"618\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Commodity prices tumbled.</p><h2>Stock Market Diverges</h2><p>A stock market rally attempt got underway, but there&#39;s been no follow-through day to confirm the attempt. There was a clear divergence between the Nasdaq and the other indexes, weighed down by banks and commodities. The Nasdaq surged above its 50-day and 200-day lines, even with a Friday pullback. led by tech titans and chipmakers. The S&amp;P 500 rose modestly, but fell back below its 200-day. The Dow Jones ended little changed for the week while the Russell 2000 tumbled. Treasury yields initially dived then roared back. Crude oil and copper prices dived.</p><h2>Bank Woes Spread, Lifelines Extended</h2><p>After SVB Financial and Signature Bank were shut down late in the prior week, there were more bank stresses. <b>Credit Suisse</b> (CS) tapped a $54 billion loan from the Swiss National Bank after the Swiss banking giant&#39;s stock hit a record low. <b>First Republic Bank</b> (FRC) bounced Thursday after getting a $30 billion deposit rescue from America&#39;s 11 largest banks, after securing $70 billion from <b>JPMorgan</b> (JPM) and the Federal Reserve on Sunday. But First Republic resumed its sell-off Friday as it suspended its dividend. Other banks also skidded again Friday. FDIC-controlled SVB Financial filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy amid efforts to auction off Silicon Valley Bank.</p><h2>Core Inflation Hot, Other Data Mixed</h2><p>Core inflation ran hotter than expected in February, likely enough to push the Fed to hike its key interest rate a half-point on March 22, if it weren&#39;t for the sudden eruption of a banking crisis. The consumer price index rose 0.4% on the month, pulling the annual CPI inflation rate down to 6% from 6.4% the prior month. But the core CPI, excluding food and energy, rose 0.5% from January, while the core CPI inflation rate held at 5.5%. Even worse, price gains were even hotter for nonhousing services such as dining out and haircuts, which both saw 0.6% monthly gains. Fed chair Jerome Powell has said nonhousing services are a key to the policy outlook because of their close link to wage growth.</p><p>Weekly data through March 11 showed jobless claims unexpectedly falling 20,000 to 192,000 in a further sign of labor market tightness. Even the depressed housing sector got a lift in February as housing starts leapt 9.8% to 1.45 million and building permits for future construction surged 13.8% to a 1.524 million annual rate.</p><p>However, the producer price index unexpectedly fell 0.1% in February as wholesale inflation eased to 4.6% from 5.7% in January.

The Facebook and Instagram parent also will leave several thousand positions unfilled. Meanwhile, the Biden administration threatened to ban TikTok unless its Chinese owners divest the video-sharing app, a potential boost for Meta, Snap and other social networks. META stock soared, breaking out of a base.</p><h2>Tesla China Sales Keep Rising</h2><p><b>Tesla</b> (TSLA) China EV registrations rose for a third straight week to 17,032. <b>BYD</b> (BYDDF) China registrations were more than double Tesla&#39;s, but fell for a second straight week. Other data signaled a pick up in European sales after additional price cuts there. TSLA stock rose modestly.</p><h2>United Airlines Dives On Warnings</h2><p><b>United Airlines</b> (UAL) unexpectedly warned on profits for the current quarter, raising demand concerns. Several carriers, including United, also raised jet-fuel cost estimates. <b>Delta Air Lines</b> (DAL) maintained its first-quarter outlook, saying travel demand is strong and getting stronger. <b>JetBlue Airways</b> (JBLU) hiked its revenue forecast. UAL stock plunged, with other airline stocks tumbling as well.</p><h2>Biotech Buyouts</h2><p>A pair of biotech buyouts drove shares higher.<b>Pfizer</b>(PFE) will pay $43 billion to buy<b>Seagen</b>(SGEN), a maker of antibody drug conjugates, or ADCs. These drugs carry payloads of toxic chemicals directed at specific targets on the outside of tumors, limiting their damage to healthy, surrounding tissue. Meanwhile, <b>Sanofi</b> (SNY) scooped up <b>Provention Bio</b> (PRVB) for $2.9 billion. Provention sells a drug to delay the onset of type 1 diabetes in people age 8 and older. It&#39;s allowed for people who have abnormal blood sugar but no symptoms of diabetes.</p><h2>News In Brief</h2><p><b>Sarepta Therapeutics</b> (SRPT) plunged Friday after the FDA reversed course and announced that it will hold an advisory panel for the biotech&#39;s gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy prior to an FDA approval decision. SRPT stock gapped up March 1 after the FDA decided against an advisory panel, suggesting a faster approval.</p><p><b>Boeing</b> (BA) announced an order for up to 121 787 Dreamliner jets from two Saudi airlines, including the national carrier Saudia and the brand-new Riyadh Air. The deal is worth an estimated $35 billion-$37 billion at list prices.</p><p><b>Amylyx Pharmaceuticals</b> (AMLX) topped Wall Street&#39;s fourth-quarter estimates, delivering $21.9 million in sales of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis drug Relyvrio. Analysts called for only $4.7 million, according to FactSet. Amylyx stock jumped.</p><p><b>Jabil</b> (JBL) reported slightly better-than-expected fiscal second-quarter results and guided higher for the current quarter. The contract manufacturer said earnings rose 12% year over year while sales increased 8%.</p><p><b>Lennar</b>(LEN) reported a 21% EPS decline in its fiscal Q1, but that topped views. Revenue growth slowed to 5%, but also topped. The homebuilder also touted stronger new orders.</p><p><b>Xpeng</b> (XPEV) swung to a wider-than-expected loss as revenue plunged 58%, also missing views, amid tumbling deliveries and weaker pricing.

Revenue fell 3.4%, sliding for a fourth straight quarter and missing views. Shares gapped higher.</p><p><b>FedEx</b> (FDX) soared Friday as the delivery giant beat EPS views and guided higher on full-year profit as cost cuts offset continued demand weakness.</p><p><b>Uber</b> (UBER), <b>Lyft</b> (LYFT) and <b>DoorDash</b> (DASH) rallied after a California appeals court said app-based drivers are contractors, not employees, reversing a lower-court ruling.

FDIC-controlled SVB Financial filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy amid efforts to auction off Silicon Valley Bank.Core Inflation Hot, Other Data MixedCore inflation ran hotter than expected in February, likely enough to push the Fed to hike its key interest rate a half-point on March 22, if it weren't for the sudden eruption of a banking crisis. The consumer price index rose 0.4% on the month, pulling the annual CPI inflation rate down to 6% from 6.4% the prior month.

Garena reported an underwhelming FQ4, in which it posted Bookings of $1.1B. Moreover, while its full-year Bookings of $4.6B were up 44.3% YoY, it guided for just $3B (midpoint) in Bookings for FY22. Therefore, it represented a significant and unexpected decline of 34.8%.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aa500da440de10312b22fc5d9c4ca6d8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"395\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Garena adjusted EBITDA share of Bookings %(Company filings)</span></p><p>Furthermore, Garena&#39;s adjusted EBITDA margins (share of Bookings) have also been trending downwards. Therefore, Garena has certainly been hit by weaker overall engagement, which has also significantly impacted monetization. As a result, Garena reported 54.8% in adjusted EBITDA margin in FQ4 compared to 65.5% in the previous year. Therefore, investors were justifiably concerned whether Sea Limited can still support its high-growth Shopee machine as its main cash cow slows down considerably moving forward.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/523e57ebd49bac780a0e0f586be7c356\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"395\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Shopee GMV(Company filings)</span></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8578996523bc88fc20b2e45734b50b92\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"396\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Shopee take rate %(Company filings)</span></p><p>But, when we thought all hope was lost, Shopee came along to save the day this time. Why? Even though we have witnessed a sharp decline in e-commerce growth in the US, the growth in Shopee&#39;s core e-commerce markets remains robust. Furthermore, it is also making significant headway in LatAm, particularly in Brazil, where it has garnered significant traction. As a result, Shopee posted $18.2B in gross merchandise value (GMV) in FQ4, up 52.9% YoY. Notably, the company has also been raising its take rate considerably as it gains market leadership. It has become the #1 shopping app across most of its core markets. Therefore, Shopee is now ready to monetize for profitability. And, we think that&#39;s awesome news! CEO Forrest Li emphasized (edited):</p><blockquote><i>We currently expect Shopee to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA</i>before HQ costs allocation in Southeast Asia and Taiwan by 2022 and SeaMoney to achieve positive cash flow by 2023. As a result, we believe that by 2025, cash generated by Shopee and SeaMoney collectively<i>will enable these two businesses to substantially self-fund their long-term growth</i>. We are also very excited to see<i>Shopee fast gaining traction in Brazil</i>. Just two years after entering the market, Shopee Brazil recorded more than 140M gross orders in FQ4, growing at close to 400% YoY. (Sea Limited&#39;s FQ4&#39;21 earnings call)</blockquote><p>We think that&#39;s a significant development. Notably, Brazil&#39;s contribution towards Shopee&#39;s topline is less than 5%. Therefore, the company can channel its resources to compete more effectively and gain share in Brazil.In a previous MercadoLibre article, we also shared that LatAm is a fascinating region because of its high take rates. We emphasized: &#34;Readers can easily observe the incredible monetization opportunities that are available in LatAm, and we can easily understand why Sea Limited is so keen to carve out MercadoLibre&#39;s leadership there because it&#39;s just so attractive.&#34;</p><p>Notably, management also took the opportunity to add more color on its progress and strategy in Brazil. Group Chief Corporate Officer Yanjun Wang articulated (edited):</p><blockquote>And another growth area that we focus on is Brazil. We also shared that when we enter into the market, we focus first on user growth and then order growth and then market leadership and positive unit economics over time with scale. Now when you look at Southeast Asia and Taiwan, we&#39;re probably the first large e-commerce player to show profitability in this region.<i>But in Lat Am, all the existing major players are quite profitable. So the profitability model for the LatAm market is highly proven</i>. (Sea Limited)</blockquote><p><b>Is SE Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?</b></p><p>There&#39;s no doubt that SE Stock could still be in the penalty box as investors could wait for a quarter or two to observe its execution towards profitability. It&#39;s a significant change in its execution, coupled with the moderation in Garena&#39;s growth. Therefore, there&#39;s still an element of execution risk that some investors could be concerned with.</p><p>However, we see it differently. With the stock trading at less than 5x NTM revenue and moving closer towards profitability, the outlook is looking more favorable for long-term investors. If you can tolerate near-term volatility, we encourage you to capitalize on the market&#39;s overreaction and add SE stock.</p><p>Therefore,<i>we reiterate our Buy rating on SE stock</i>.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Sea Ltd.: It's Not Growth At All Costs - Buy On Market Overreaction</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\">\nSea Ltd.: It's Not Growth At All Costs - Buy On Market Overreaction\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2022-03-03 10:29 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4492126-sea-earnings-buy-stock-on-market-overreaction><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummarySea Limited posted a decent FQ4 card.

As a result, Shopee posted $18.2B in gross merchandise value (GMV) in FQ4, up 52.9% YoY. Notably, the company has also been raising its take rate considerably as it gains market leadership. It has become the #1 shopping app across most of its core markets. Therefore, Shopee is now ready to monetize for profitability. And, we think that's awesome news! CEO Forrest Li emphasized (edited):We currently expect Shopee to achieve positive adjusted EBITDAbefore HQ costs allocation in Southeast Asia and Taiwan by 2022 and SeaMoney to achieve positive cash flow by 2023. As a result, we believe that by 2025, cash generated by Shopee and SeaMoney collectivelywill enable these two businesses to substantially self-fund their long-term growth. We are also very excited to seeShopee fast gaining traction in Brazil. Just two years after entering the market, Shopee Brazil recorded more than 140M gross orders in FQ4, growing at close to 400% YoY. (Sea Limited's FQ4'21 earnings call)We think that's a significant development. Notably, Brazil's contribution towards Shopee's topline is less than 5%. Therefore, the company can channel its resources to compete more effectively and gain share in Brazil.In a previous MercadoLibre article, we also shared that LatAm is a fascinating region because of its high take rates. We emphasized: \"Readers can easily observe the incredible monetization opportunities that are available in LatAm, and we can easily understand why Sea Limited is so keen to carve out MercadoLibre's leadership there because it's just so attractive.\"Notably, management also took the opportunity to add more color on its progress and strategy in Brazil. Group Chief Corporate Officer Yanjun Wang articulated (edited):And another growth area that we focus on is Brazil. We also shared that when we enter into the market, we focus first on user growth and then order growth and then market leadership and positive unit economics over time with scale. Now when you look at Southeast Asia and Taiwan, we're probably the first large e-commerce player to show profitability in this region.But in Lat Am, all the existing major players are quite profitable. So the profitability model for the LatAm market is highly proven. (Sea Limited)Is SE Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?There's no doubt that SE Stock could still be in the penalty box as investors could wait for a quarter or two to observe its execution towards profitability. It's a significant change in its execution, coupled with the moderation in Garena's growth. Therefore, there's still an element of execution risk that some investors could be concerned with.However, we see it differently. With the stock trading at less than 5x NTM revenue and moving closer towards profitability, the outlook is looking more favorable for long-term investors. If you can tolerate near-term volatility, we encourage you to capitalize on the market's overreaction and add SE stock.Therefore,we reiterate our Buy rating on SE stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":45,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9001545123,"gmtCreate":1641287795359,"gmtModify":1676533593269,"author":{"id":"3580689210488653","authorId":"3580689210488653","name":"SilentWarrio","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c904a9b7d64fe6eb5230d2a57a74ffee","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580689210488653","authorIdStr":"3580689210488653"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great news...","listText":"Great news...","text":"Great news...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9001545123","repostId":"1156511669","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1156511669","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":1641287811,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1156511669?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-04 17:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Sea rose over 1% in premarket trading as it set annual meeting with plan to boost class B voting power","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1156511669","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Sea rose over 1% in premarket trading as it set annual meeting with plan to boost class B voting pow","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Sea rose over 1% in premarket trading as it set annual meeting with plan to boost class B voting power.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/72f4eb10e6f6b04ab5594f04bfaf7866\" tg-width=\"773\" tg-height=\"565\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>It has set up its annual meeting with a plan to expand voting power of its ClassB shares, consolidating control with its founder, chairman and CEO.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Chinese EV maker <b>Nio</b> is one of those, and its recent production has been affected by the global semiconductor shortage and other raw material challenges.</p><p>But Nio is still growing with plans to expand its production capacity and geographic footprint this year. When it reported its fourth quarter and full year 2021 results, the company predicted its first quarter 2022 deliveries would remain relatively in line with the prior quarter. But a look at where it sits at this stage of growth compared to EV leader <b>Tesla</b> might give investors more optimism.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab77d84a3a345e31d53c645fe6453eab\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Nio will begin delivering its ET7 luxury sedan next week. Image source: Nio.</span></p><h2>Delivery concerns will pass</h2><p>While investors were somewhat disappointed with Nio&#39;s guidance for March deliveries, the trend still continues to be higher. The following chart shows trailing-12-month (TTM) delivery data since the fall of 2020.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4c7ccaa5d46a8c0bb1894049ea508c05\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"421\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data source: Nio financial releases. Chart by author.</span></p><p>The recent slowdown came first from the company&#39;s own work to retool its lines in preparation for its two new sedans that will begin deliveries this year. Another impact has been general supply chain issues being felt by many global automakers. But demand in both China and Europe remains strong. With the maintenance work complete and the supply chain situation likely to ease at some point, Nio deliveries should ramp back up to the higher rate of growth than it has experienced in recent months.</p><h2>Sales were solid</h2><p>While delivery numbers disappointed investors, Nio&#39;s revenue growth remains strong. Some of that added revenue comes from its subscription battery swap service. That offering is slated to expand and helps differentiate the company from competitors. Overall revenue for 2021 grew more than 125% over 2020, and exceeded the equivalent of $5 billion.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2b3a47bc2c30a955efc4591563f92354\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"456\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>Data source: Nio financial releases. Chart by author.</span></p><p>That kind of sharp increase is reminiscent of the early days of Tesla&#39;s growth. And just as Tesla expanded its product line with the addition of its SUV offerings, Nio is poised to add two sedans to its offerings this year. As Tesla added vehicles, its revenue continued to soar as the chart below shows.

Chinese EV maker Nio is one of those, and its recent production has been affected by the global semiconductor shortage and other raw material challenges.But Nio is still growing with plans to expand its production capacity and geographic footprint this year. When it reported its fourth quarter and full year 2021 results, the company predicted its first quarter 2022 deliveries would remain relatively in line with the prior quarter. But a look at where it sits at this stage of growth compared to EV leader Tesla might give investors more optimism.Nio will begin delivering its ET7 luxury sedan next week. Image source: Nio.Delivery concerns will passWhile investors were somewhat disappointed with Nio's guidance for March deliveries, the trend still continues to be higher. The following chart shows trailing-12-month (TTM) delivery data since the fall of 2020.Data source: Nio financial releases. Chart by author.The recent slowdown came first from the company's own work to retool its lines in preparation for its two new sedans that will begin deliveries this year. Another impact has been general supply chain issues being felt by many global automakers. But demand in both China and Europe remains strong. With the maintenance work complete and the supply chain situation likely to ease at some point, Nio deliveries should ramp back up to the higher rate of growth than it has experienced in recent months.Sales were solidWhile delivery numbers disappointed investors, Nio's revenue growth remains strong. Some of that added revenue comes from its subscription battery swap service. That offering is slated to expand and helps differentiate the company from competitors. Overall revenue for 2021 grew more than 125% over 2020, and exceeded the equivalent of $5 billion.Data source: Nio financial releases. Chart by author.That kind of sharp increase is reminiscent of the early days of Tesla's growth. And just as Tesla expanded its product line with the addition of its SUV offerings, Nio is poised to add two sedans to its offerings this year. As Tesla added vehicles, its revenue continued to soar as the chart below shows. Nio could see similar results.Tesla reported net income of $5.5 billion in 2021.Valuation has improvedEven prior to the recent earnings release, Nio shares have been in decline. That came from the aforementioned production concerns, along with risks related to geopolitical events including the war in Ukraine and regulatory worries in both China and the U.S.With shares down nearly 40% year-to-date, Nio's valuation has dropped to a market capitalization of about $30 billion. A price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of under 6 takes some of the valuation risk down for investors. While there remain risks out of the company's control, Nio should continue to thrive operationally. Demand is strong, and it will begin shipping its new ET7 luxury sedan next week. As it expands outside of China, vehicle delivery growth should reaccelerate.

The interactions can be for business, social, or gaming. Metaverse stocks run the gambit. Some are pure plays, that is, companies who do nothing but the metaverse. Others are software companies that already have successful businesses but may benefit from a new revenue stream. Hardware companies can also be metaverse stocks. In many instances, the metaverse requires the use of augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) headsets. Several growth stocks benefit from the metaverse movement, while other metaverse stocks are already members of the Big Tech universe with storied histories looking to capitalize on new technology.</p><p>How Did Metaverse Stocks Perform In 2021?</p><p>Metaverse stocks were mixed in 2021, with some of the stocks mentioned in this article outperforming the S&amp;P 500 and some not. NVIDIA (NVDA) was the big winner, rising over 125% in calendar 2021. Meta Platforms (FB), formerly Facebook, rose only 23% after being hammered by whistle-blower testimony and other concerns.</p><p>Also of note, hot growth names Roblox (RBLX), Unity Software (U), and Matterport (MTTR) were up considerably in late 2021 but fell substantially heading into 2022. The selling pressure has continued in 2022 as growth stocks have fallen out of favor due to macroeconomic conditions. Graphed below is their performance so far in the new year.</p><p>Metaverse Stocks To Watch In 2022</p><p><b>Roblox</b></p><p>Roblox was a huge story in 2020 and 2021. User growth exploded during the pandemic, as did revenue. Roblox is an online metaverse gaming platform where users can play and create games for free. The company makes most of its revenue from selling in-game &#34;Robux,&#34; which allows users to enhance their experience.</p><p>Roblox needs to prove that it is not just a &#34;pandemic stock&#34; by continuing to grow its user base and translate this to the bottom line. Its revenue is increasing steadily; however, this has not translated to operating profits. The company is generating ample cash from operations.</p><p>There were some encouraging results in Q3 2021 as well. Daily active users (DAUs) continued to increase, reaching 47.3 million. A colossal figure when compared to the 19.1 million in Q4 2019. Q4 2019 was the last quarter prior to the pandemic in the U.S. The hours that users were engaged also increased in Q3 by 28% year-over-year (YOY).</p><p>The valuation is a serious concern. The stock trades at over 20 times sales even after the pandemic sales boost and the recent drop in share price. Current macroeconomic conditions are unfavorable to growth stocks, and Roblox could have further to fall.</p><p><b>Unity Software</b></p><p>Unity Software provides creators with a platform to develop 2D and 3D content for a wide range of devices, including mobile phones, PCs, and AR and VR systems. The beauty of Unity is that content created using the software can be used across many different platforms. Unity has potential far beyond gaming as well.</p><p>Unity stock exploded during 2021, but has come down significantly from its highs. It currently trades well over 40% off its 52-week high price of $210. The current downward pressure is intense, as can be seen below.</p><p>Unity has an excellent gross margin that has come in at 79% and 78% for Q2 2021 and Q3 2021, respectively. The company has also been growing revenues significantly. Revenue rose 43% YOY in Q3 2021 after growing over 48% YOY in Q2 2021.</p><p>Unity currently trades at over 30 times forward sales, so, like Roblox, the selling pressure could continue in the near term.</p><p><b>NVIDIA</b></p><p>NVIDIA is a &#34;picks and shovels&#34; play on the metaverse. Its chips will be used to power the metaverse platforms that are created. The company has also used CES as a platform to announce the free availability of itsOmniverse softwarewhich provides the &#34;plumbing&#34; on which metaverses can be built.</p><blockquote>More than 70,000 individual creators have downloaded Omniverse. Since the open beta launch in December. There are approximately 40 million 3D designers in the global market.</blockquote><blockquote>Our vision for Omniverse came to life at GTC. We significantly expanded its ecosystem and announced new capabilities. Omniverse Replicator is an engine for producing data to train robots. Replicator augments real-world data with massive, diverse, and physically accurate synthetic datasets to help accelerate the development of high-quality, high-performance AI across computing demands. NVIDIA Omniverse Avatar is our platform for generating interactive AI avatars that connect several core NVIDIA SDKs including speech AI, computer vision, natural language understanding, recommendation engines, and simulation.</blockquote><blockquote>-Colette Kress, EVP, CFO on fiscal Q3 2021 earnings call.</blockquote><p>NVIDIA is much more than a metaverse stock. The company is a highly-profitable juggernaut that had a terrific 2021. It now trades a little over 20% off its 52-week high. Revenue for fiscal Q3 came in at $7.1 billion, a full 50% over the same period in 2020. Operating income came in at $2.7 billion, as shown below.</p><p>Revenue growth has significantly accelerated in recent periods, catching the attention of investors. The stock now trades at a forward P/S ratio over 26 and a non-GAAP forward P/E of 65.</p><p><b>Matterport</b></p><p>Matterport is another interesting play on the metaverse. This company takes physical assets and digitizes them. The digitization can then be used for design, operations, or other visualization purposes. Real estate, retail, hospitality, and construction are common industries that benefit. The company reports 439,000 subscribers and $111 million in annualized revenues. The stock reached a high of over $37.00 in late 2021 but now trades 58% down from its high.</p><p>The company went public via SPAC merger in July of 2021 and caution is warranted.</p><p><b>Meta Platforms</b></p><p>Meta believes in the metaverse so much that it changed its iconic name, Facebook, earlier this year. Meta believes that the future of social media, the natural evolution, is into the metaverse. To this end, it has availed the Oculus VR headsets, including the Rift and Quest lines, and is planning much more.</p><blockquote>The metaverse is the next evolution of social connection. Our company’s vision is to help bring the metaverse to life, so we are changing our name to reflect our commitment to this future.</blockquote><blockquote>3D spaces in the metaverse will let you socialize, learn, collaborate and play in ways that go beyond what we can imagine.</blockquote><blockquote>-Meta Platforms</blockquote><p>Meta was mired in controversy during 2021 when a whistle-blower testified before congress. The stock was hurt, but it still finished up for the year. Despite the noise, Meta&#39;s revenues and operating income have been solid in 2021 and are running well ahead of 2020 numbers.</p><p>Look for Meta to have a terrific Q4 on strong advertising figures. The company is trading at a very reasonable forward P/E under 24.</p><p><b>Apple</b></p><p>Apple (AAPL) is another company looking to the metaverse to enhance its already incredible results. Rumor has it that the company is set to launch its AR/VR headset sometime in 2022, with a lighter, sleeker upgrade to follow in 2024. The potential here is massive, considering the company&#39;s 1 billion iPhone users are its prime customer base.</p><p>The thought of an additional revenue stream alongside the iPhone, Mac, and iPad has investors salivating and briefly pushed the company&#39;s valuation over $3 trillion. Apple&#39;s results for fiscal 2021 were stellar. Revenues rose 33% to $365.8 billion, while operating income rose 64% to $108.9 billion. Likewise, diluted EPS were up 71% to $5.61. EPS increased faster than operating revenue thanks to the company&#39;s robust share buyback program. As shown below, the company bought back $85 billion in stock during fiscal 2021, which amounts to almost 3% of the current market cap. The company also pays a small quarterly dividend of $0.22. The buybacks are advantageous as they shrink the company&#39;s outstanding shares, thereby raising EPS faster. They are also a tax-deferred return of capital to shareholders.</p><p>Apple&#39;s current forward P/E ratio, 30, is higher than historical averages due to investor expectations for the coming year and the new product launch. To some, it appears overvalued; however, I wouldn&#39;t bet against this stock or this company.</p><p><b>Microsoft</b></p><p>Microsoft (MSFT) wants to capitalize on the metaverse for the business world in the marketplace.

The company is firing on all cylinders going into 2022, and this stock will continue to reward long-term investors handsomely for years to come.

The interactions can be for business, social, or gaming. Metaverse stocks run the gambit. Some are pure plays, that is, companies who do nothing but the metaverse. Others are software companies that already have successful businesses but may benefit from a new revenue stream. Hardware companies can also be metaverse stocks. In many instances, the metaverse requires the use of augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) headsets. Several growth stocks benefit from the metaverse movement, while other metaverse stocks are already members of the Big Tech universe with storied histories looking to capitalize on new technology.How Did Metaverse Stocks Perform In 2021?Metaverse stocks were mixed in 2021, with some of the stocks mentioned in this article outperforming the S&P 500 and some not. NVIDIA (NVDA) was the big winner, rising over 125% in calendar 2021. Meta Platforms (FB), formerly Facebook, rose only 23% after being hammered by whistle-blower testimony and other concerns.Also of note, hot growth names Roblox (RBLX), Unity Software (U), and Matterport (MTTR) were up considerably in late 2021 but fell substantially heading into 2022. The selling pressure has continued in 2022 as growth stocks have fallen out of favor due to macroeconomic conditions. Graphed below is their performance so far in the new year.Metaverse Stocks To Watch In 2022RobloxRoblox was a huge story in 2020 and 2021. User growth exploded during the pandemic, as did revenue. Roblox is an online metaverse gaming platform where users can play and create games for free. The company makes most of its revenue from selling in-game \"Robux,\" which allows users to enhance their experience.Roblox needs to prove that it is not just a \"pandemic stock\" by continuing to grow its user base and translate this to the bottom line. Its revenue is increasing steadily; however, this has not translated to operating profits. The company is generating ample cash from operations.There were some encouraging results in Q3 2021 as well. Daily active users (DAUs) continued to increase, reaching 47.3 million. A colossal figure when compared to the 19.1 million in Q4 2019. Q4 2019 was the last quarter prior to the pandemic in the U.S. The hours that users were engaged also increased in Q3 by 28% year-over-year (YOY).The valuation is a serious concern. The stock trades at over 20 times sales even after the pandemic sales boost and the recent drop in share price. Current macroeconomic conditions are unfavorable to growth stocks, and Roblox could have further to fall.Unity SoftwareUnity Software provides creators with a platform to develop 2D and 3D content for a wide range of devices, including mobile phones, PCs, and AR and VR systems. The beauty of Unity is that content created using the software can be used across many different platforms. Unity has potential far beyond gaming as well.Unity stock exploded during 2021, but has come down significantly from its highs. It currently trades well over 40% off its 52-week high price of $210. The current downward pressure is intense, as can be seen below.Unity has an excellent gross margin that has come in at 79% and 78% for Q2 2021 and Q3 2021, respectively. The company has also been growing revenues significantly. Revenue rose 43% YOY in Q3 2021 after growing over 48% YOY in Q2 2021.Unity currently trades at over 30 times forward sales, so, like Roblox, the selling pressure could continue in the near term.NVIDIANVIDIA is a \"picks and shovels\" play on the metaverse. Its chips will be used to power the metaverse platforms that are created. The company has also used CES as a platform to announce the free availability of itsOmniverse softwarewhich provides the \"plumbing\" on which metaverses can be built.More than 70,000 individual creators have downloaded Omniverse. Since the open beta launch in December. There are approximately 40 million 3D designers in the global market.Our vision for Omniverse came to life at GTC. We significantly expanded its ecosystem and announced new capabilities. Omniverse Replicator is an engine for producing data to train robots. Replicator augments real-world data with massive, diverse, and physically accurate synthetic datasets to help accelerate the development of high-quality, high-performance AI across computing demands. NVIDIA Omniverse Avatar is our platform for generating interactive AI avatars that connect several core NVIDIA SDKs including speech AI, computer vision, natural language understanding, recommendation engines, and simulation.-Colette Kress, EVP, CFO on fiscal Q3 2021 earnings call.NVIDIA is much more than a metaverse stock. The company is a highly-profitable juggernaut that had a terrific 2021. It now trades a little over 20% off its 52-week high. Revenue for fiscal Q3 came in at $7.1 billion, a full 50% over the same period in 2020. Operating income came in at $2.7 billion, as shown below.Revenue growth has significantly accelerated in recent periods, catching the attention of investors. The stock now trades at a forward P/S ratio over 26 and a non-GAAP forward P/E of 65.MatterportMatterport is another interesting play on the metaverse. This company takes physical assets and digitizes them. The digitization can then be used for design, operations, or other visualization purposes. Real estate, retail, hospitality, and construction are common industries that benefit. The company reports 439,000 subscribers and $111 million in annualized revenues. The stock reached a high of over $37.00 in late 2021 but now trades 58% down from its high.The company went public via SPAC merger in July of 2021 and caution is warranted.Meta PlatformsMeta believes in the metaverse so much that it changed its iconic name, Facebook, earlier this year. Meta believes that the future of social media, the natural evolution, is into the metaverse. To this end, it has availed the Oculus VR headsets, including the Rift and Quest lines, and is planning much more.The metaverse is the next evolution of social connection. Our company’s vision is to help bring the metaverse to life, so we are changing our name to reflect our commitment to this future.3D spaces in the metaverse will let you socialize, learn, collaborate and play in ways that go beyond what we can imagine.-Meta PlatformsMeta was mired in controversy during 2021 when a whistle-blower testified before congress. The stock was hurt, but it still finished up for the year. Despite the noise, Meta's revenues and operating income have been solid in 2021 and are running well ahead of 2020 numbers.Look for Meta to have a terrific Q4 on strong advertising figures. The company is trading at a very reasonable forward P/E under 24.AppleApple (AAPL) is another company looking to the metaverse to enhance its already incredible results. Rumor has it that the company is set to launch its AR/VR headset sometime in 2022, with a lighter, sleeker upgrade to follow in 2024. The potential here is massive, considering the company's 1 billion iPhone users are its prime customer base.The thought of an additional revenue stream alongside the iPhone, Mac, and iPad has investors salivating and briefly pushed the company's valuation over $3 trillion. Apple's results for fiscal 2021 were stellar. Revenues rose 33% to $365.8 billion, while operating income rose 64% to $108.9 billion. Likewise, diluted EPS were up 71% to $5.61. EPS increased faster than operating revenue thanks to the company's robust share buyback program. As shown below, the company bought back $85 billion in stock during fiscal 2021, which amounts to almost 3% of the current market cap. The company also pays a small quarterly dividend of $0.22. The buybacks are advantageous as they shrink the company's outstanding shares, thereby raising EPS faster. They are also a tax-deferred return of capital to shareholders.Apple's current forward P/E ratio, 30, is higher than historical averages due to investor expectations for the coming year and the new product launch. To some, it appears overvalued; however, I wouldn't bet against this stock or this company.MicrosoftMicrosoft (MSFT) wants to capitalize on the metaverse for the business world in the marketplace.

The sustained market growth is driven by the broader penetration of internet users, technological advancement, rising spending in digital advertising, and the expanding popularity of mobile phones and digital media across the world, while platforms such as in-app, mobile ads, connected TV or social media advertising are increasingly important vectors in the industry.</p><h2><b>An in-depth company comparison</b></h2><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c3b292a512ca86202c0549254543bfb5\" tg-width=\"472\" tg-height=\"546\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>The financial comparison highlights the major relative strengths and weaknesses of the two giants. In terms of their Return on Invested Capital [ROIC], a very important metric I consider when pondering an investment decision, as a company must be able to consistently create value to be a sustainable investment, Alphabet seems to gradually increase its capital allocation efficiency over the past few years. Although Meta has been more efficient in the past, the metric has progressively dropped, until recently significantly falling under Alphabet’s level. The latter seems to have a more efficient core business, but Meta has seemingly more efficient cash management, observed in the relatively narrow spread between their ROIC and the Return on Capital Employed [ROCE], while Alphabet could significantly increase its capital allocation efficiency as the company reported a massive cash position of over $116B.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa03acf041d1be505b4a32558b182c46\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"315\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>Although Meta reports by far the higher gross margin, this metric’s growth is seemingly dropping from 21.94% CAGR in the past 5 years to 17.88% CAGR in the past 3 years. While Alphabet reported a lower actual value, the company saw this metric slightly increase from 19.38% CAGR to 20.72% CAGR, over the same time window. Meta’s main source of revenue began faltering as the widely popular video app TikTok massively increased its audience, and other companies increased their market share in the online advertising space, while Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) shift to a strict app tracking transparency privacy policy, requiring the user’s approval for apps to be able to track their data, had an estimated two-digit billion impact on Meta’s revenue. On the operational side, the companies have an even more divergent profile, as Alphabet demonstrated being capable of significantly increasing its operational profitability from 22.13% CAGR in the past 5 years, to 29.80% CAGR over the past 3 years, while Meta’s operating margin growth is decelerating from 11.96% CAGR to 7.03% CAGR over the same period. Meta is massively investing in the development of the Metaverse while rising doubts emerge concerning the company’s ability to reach its ambitious goals in a concept that only a few people understand, while at the same time the company struggles with a weakening advertising business.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8f1f88c88d16069afac3b3d995567a30\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"153\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>Meta reportedly has a more cash-rich business than the analyzed peer, while none of them is paying a dividend, both companies spend billions in share-repurchase programs. Alphabet announced its biggest share-buyback program of over $70B earlier this year, a major increase after the authorized buyback of $50B in 2021 and $25B in 2019. Meta has reportedly spent $91B to repurchase 377M stocks at an average price of $242, between 2017 and September 2022, a price that seems steep, considering that the actual share price is valued at -53% of that price. Meta also reports significantly higher EPS, while in those terms, Alphabet has had a less negative development over the most recent quarters and reported significantly higher growth over the past few years. Both companies are relying on debt for sustaining their business, increasing significantly their debt reliance since 2019, as the historically low-interest rates pushed many companies to consider more debt in their financing strategy. That said, both companies could repay the entirety of their debt exposure as shown in their net debt position and low leverage ratio.</p><h2>The stocks’ performance</h2><p>Considering both stocks’ performance in the past 5 years, GOOG reported a solid performance of 93.44%, while META performed significantly worse, losing 37.65% over the analyzed period. The most significant references show a mixed picture, with the S&amp;P 500 (SP500) returning approximately 53%, and the Nasdaq technology index, tracked by the Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ) marked over 85% performance, while more industry-focused references, such as the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XLC\">Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund</a> (XLC) performed flat, while the Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK) is the strongest outperformer of the analyzed references.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/51b316e664d2e9457222c2ae8e80185d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"198\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using SeekingAlpha.com</p><p>While both stocks display periods of relative strength, GOOG reported massive resilience after every major drop, while META has significantly suffered after its All-Time-High [ATH] in September 2021, leading to massive value destruction for its investors, being priced at levels not seen since 2016. In the next section, I will show how the next few years are forecasted to play out for both companies and if the actual stock price may offer an interesting opportunity, while also assessing the possible risks in different scenarios.</p><h2>Valuation</h2><p>To determine the actual fair value for both company&#39;s stock prices, I rely on the following Discounted Cash Flow [DCF] model, which extends over a forecast period of 5 years with 3 different sets of assumptions ranging from a more conservative to a more optimistic scenario, based on the metrics determining the WACC and the terminal value. As forecasted by the street consensus, Alphabet is anticipated to generate a massive 17.27% Free Cash Flow [FCF] CAGR over the coming 5 years, with its operating and net profitability increasing at respectively 12.73% and 13.80% CAGR, while its revenue is projected to expand at solid 10.98%, above the expected growth in the relevant industries.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4f307c189819f83e89ac5301f675e985\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"395\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>The valuation takes into account a tighter monetary policy, which will undeniably be a reality in many economies worldwide in the coming years and lead to a higher weighted average cost of capital.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dfdac1fd157fda94ba58871ccb1c7b3f\" tg-width=\"573\" tg-height=\"599\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author</p><p>I compute my opinion in terms of likelihood for the three different scenarios, and I, therefore, consider the stock to be significantly undervalued with a weighted average price target with about 54% upside potential at $152.</p><p>Meta is forecasted to expand slower, with its sales growing at 9.20% CAGR over the next 5 years, and its operating and net profit margins are expected to grow between 8.5% and 8.9%, in terms of FCF the company is anticipated to substantially increase its metric, with 17.61% CAGR through 2026.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15cc9d6404157e698d23631783f3f4cd\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"398\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author, using data from S&amp;P Capital IQ</p><p>I then consider the same three scenarios affected by the company’s fundamentals and by the exogenous factors.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c566b27f98414ced096c76621fbf9c00\" tg-width=\"573\" tg-height=\"598\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Author</p><p>Despite both stocks seemingly being undervalued, when considering the weighted average price target, the two modelizations suggest that GOOG may offer a higher expected return, while META’s expected performance is seen 50% higher than the latest closing price, or at about $167. Both modelizations emphasize the still substantial expected return, also in the less optimistic scenario.</p><p>Investors should consider that those forecasts are based on a relatively conservative assumption in terms of perpetual growth rates, higher discount rates, and the recent trend in increased interest rates, which reflects the actual situation and forecast possible scenarios. An inversion of this trend would change this perspective and value the company at a higher price.</p><h2>Outlook and Risk discussion</h2><p>With both companies having tremendous possibilities to expand their powerful product ecosystem, it’s quite difficult to estimate their relevant total addressable market [TAM], as both peers have shown to be able to significantly grow their business either organically or through strategic acquisitions. Alphabet and Meta own strong brands with Google ranked in the fourth position in Interbrand&#39;s Best Global Brands, while Facebook is ranked 17th. Google’s essentially monopolistic position in search engines, its gigantic database with no equal data-harvesting worldwide, and the dominant position in the smartphone industry with Android estimated to hold a share of 72% in the mobile operating systems’ market, while Apple is progressively gaining market shares, are only some of the company’s major strengths. Despite this, with approximately 80% of its revenue originating from income related to advertising, the company’s revenue model is highly exposed to demand fluctuations, and with a recession likely seen coming in major global economies, dropping consumer spending and cuts in expenses on advertising, will likely have a tangible negative effect on the company’s results. Privacy concerns and regulatory pressure, as well as data security, are also possible future threats to Alphabet, Meta, and their peers, as the biggest strength for the companies, the massive data collection, is the most damaging weakness for their users. Among Alphabet’s most promising opportunities I do like to underscore the company’s positioning in terms of Artificial Intelligence [AI], Machine Learning [ML], and cloud-based business, as well as its expansion into the wearable OS market, and the great diversification opportunities the company could access or create through its colossal financial strength.</p><p>Meta is building a strong product portfolio including WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Oculus, Workplace, Portal, and Calibra to diversify from Facebook and create expanded opportunities in strong secular trends. With over 45% of the world’s population using Facebook or its family products, the company holds an extremely powerful and irreplaceable position. But with approximately 98% of revenue originating from advertising, Meta is even more exposed to demand-driven fluctuations than Alphabet, and since the company is massively investing and focusing its resources on developing its visionary Metaverse, the diversification opportunities are, at least for the moment, seemingly more limited than Alphabet’s. Facebook has been losing popularity after facing backlash over its negligence in protecting the user’s privacy, while negative publicity, allegations of racial basis, or the platform’s inability to control the spread of fake and misleading information, may have cast a shadow on the company’s once brighter outlook. Despite this, Meta faces many opportunities in terms of possible monetization of its platforms through paid services such as news subscriptions, peer-to-peer marketplaces, online dating apps, e-wallets, or the development of other hardware devices, while its existing technologies could also be integrated or connected with a variety of other applications, such as e-commerce, gaming, or expanded into the digital creators&#39; space, or by offering remote-work solutions. In terms of future-oriented secular growth vectors, Meta has extensive expertise in AI and ML, which the company could use to penetrate markets such as the technologies used for autonomous vehicles, where other competitors like Google, Amazon, and Apple are already massively investing.</p><p>Alphabet is rated with a Strong Buy rating from Seeking Alpha’s Quant Rating since August 25, 2022, and holds the first two positions in the Interactive Media and Services industry through its two share classes.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b711fdd651560e12eb413b5c4321377\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"183\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>SeekingAlpha.com</p><p>Meta has instead been qualified as a Hold position since the end of 2021 and is ranked 22 out of 62 in the relevant industry. Both companies are without seen excelling in terms of profitability, while growth and valuation seem to be less favorable factors in the actual uncertain market environment, with Meta also significantly suffering from the negative momentum in its more recent price action.</p><p></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c27a653d50c6e2a961374aeaa87c1171\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"183\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>SeekingAlpha.com</p><h2>The Verdict: Which stock is the better buy?</h2><p>The two analyzed companies are two global leaders in the technology services industry, with their respective strengths and weaknesses, but also offering inherent opportunities with their correlated risks. From an investor&#39;s point of view, it’s important to consider the company’s ability to create value for its shareholders, while minimizing the risks. Past performance is not a guarantee for future results, and despite GOOG overall performing significantly better than META in the past few years, the latter is seemingly offering great opportunities ahead, and my rather conservative modelization hints at the significant undervaluation of both stocks. Both companies have strong financials and report high profitability, but Alphabet is seemingly on a better path, as the company reported an overall better trend and is expected to optimize its profitability even further, while also owning a massive idling cash position that offers incredibly many options, and could even further increase the company’s already superior capital allocation efficiency. </p><p>Meta’s huge bet on the Metaverse may lead to great success, but it also bears a major risk, in times when the company’s great dependency on advertising spending is under pressure. While both companies’ Achilles heel is seemingly their dependency on spending in digital advertising, Meta is more reliant on it than Alphabet, and may also have shown less intention to diversify its revenue streams, when compared to its colossal peers. </p><p>I consider both companies as being a buy position for long-term oriented investors, but overall in this comparative analysis, I chose Alphabet as my favorite stock pick, for its preeminent opportunities and lower risk profile, while seemingly also offering the greater potential in its stock performance, when considering all three forecasted scenarios.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Alphabet Vs.

While many stocks may have been excessively hyped during the massive rebound out of the pandemic-lows, others have been under pressure because of rising inflation, a higher cost of capital, bottlenecks among the supply chains, as well as headwinds caused by pandemic-related restrictions, geo-political tensions, and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Companies in the Information technology services industry could perform better from a yearly perspective but lately have been struggling to rebound, while others, such as the semiconductor and the solar industries, have recently been leading the sector.finvizfinvizThe two selected companies are two global giants in their industry, with Alphabet (NASDAQ:NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) having nearly a monopoly in the online search field, as Google processes over 92% of online search volume worldwide, and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:NASDAQ:META) counting 3.71B monthly users in Q3 2022, among the company’s core products, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, or Messenger, up 4% Year-over-Year [YoY].Author, using TIKRWhile the two companies once were identified as a digital duopoly, because of their massive market share in global online advertising, more recently, companies such as Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN), Alibaba (NYSE:BABA), Tencent (OTCX:OTCPK:TCEHY), or ByteDance through their social media TikTok, have penetrated the market and contributed to the erosion of this duopoly.Author, using data from Insider Intelligence, Research and Markets, Company filingsThe global IT Services market is projected to grow at a 9.5% Compound Annual Growth Rate [CAGR] through 2031, while the global digital advertising market is forecasted to grow even faster at a 13.9% CAGR, reaching a size of $1.79T through 2031. The sustained market growth is driven by the broader penetration of internet users, technological advancement, rising spending in digital advertising, and the expanding popularity of mobile phones and digital media across the world, while platforms such as in-app, mobile ads, connected TV or social media advertising are increasingly important vectors in the industry.An in-depth company comparisonAuthor, using data from S&P Capital IQThe financial comparison highlights the major relative strengths and weaknesses of the two giants. In terms of their Return on Invested Capital [ROIC], a very important metric I consider when pondering an investment decision, as a company must be able to consistently create value to be a sustainable investment, Alphabet seems to gradually increase its capital allocation efficiency over the past few years. Although Meta has been more efficient in the past, the metric has progressively dropped, until recently significantly falling under Alphabet’s level. The latter seems to have a more efficient core business, but Meta has seemingly more efficient cash management, observed in the relatively narrow spread between their ROIC and the Return on Capital Employed [ROCE], while Alphabet could significantly increase its capital allocation efficiency as the company reported a massive cash position of over $116B.Author, using data from S&P Capital IQAlthough Meta reports by far the higher gross margin, this metric’s growth is seemingly dropping from 21.94% CAGR in the past 5 years to 17.88% CAGR in the past 3 years. While Alphabet reported a lower actual value, the company saw this metric slightly increase from 19.38% CAGR to 20.72% CAGR, over the same time window. Meta’s main source of revenue began faltering as the widely popular video app TikTok massively increased its audience, and other companies increased their market share in the online advertising space, while Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) shift to a strict app tracking transparency privacy policy, requiring the user’s approval for apps to be able to track their data, had an estimated two-digit billion impact on Meta’s revenue. On the operational side, the companies have an even more divergent profile, as Alphabet demonstrated being capable of significantly increasing its operational profitability from 22.13% CAGR in the past 5 years, to 29.80% CAGR over the past 3 years, while Meta’s operating margin growth is decelerating from 11.96% CAGR to 7.03% CAGR over the same period. Meta is massively investing in the development of the Metaverse while rising doubts emerge concerning the company’s ability to reach its ambitious goals in a concept that only a few people understand, while at the same time the company struggles with a weakening advertising business.Author, using data from S&P Capital IQMeta reportedly has a more cash-rich business than the analyzed peer, while none of them is paying a dividend, both companies spend billions in share-repurchase programs. Alphabet announced its biggest share-buyback program of over $70B earlier this year, a major increase after the authorized buyback of $50B in 2021 and $25B in 2019. Meta has reportedly spent $91B to repurchase 377M stocks at an average price of $242, between 2017 and September 2022, a price that seems steep, considering that the actual share price is valued at -53% of that price. Meta also reports significantly higher EPS, while in those terms, Alphabet has had a less negative development over the most recent quarters and reported significantly higher growth over the past few years. Both companies are relying on debt for sustaining their business, increasing significantly their debt reliance since 2019, as the historically low-interest rates pushed many companies to consider more debt in their financing strategy. That said, both companies could repay the entirety of their debt exposure as shown in their net debt position and low leverage ratio.The stocks’ performanceConsidering both stocks’ performance in the past 5 years, GOOG reported a solid performance of 93.44%, while META performed significantly worse, losing 37.65% over the analyzed period. The most significant references show a mixed picture, with the S&P 500 (SP500) returning approximately 53%, and the Nasdaq technology index, tracked by the Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ) marked over 85% performance, while more industry-focused references, such as the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLC) performed flat, while the Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK) is the strongest outperformer of the analyzed references.Author, using SeekingAlpha.comWhile both stocks display periods of relative strength, GOOG reported massive resilience after every major drop, while META has significantly suffered after its All-Time-High [ATH] in September 2021, leading to massive value destruction for its investors, being priced at levels not seen since 2016. In the next section, I will show how the next few years are forecasted to play out for both companies and if the actual stock price may offer an interesting opportunity, while also assessing the possible risks in different scenarios.ValuationTo determine the actual fair value for both company's stock prices, I rely on the following Discounted Cash Flow [DCF] model, which extends over a forecast period of 5 years with 3 different sets of assumptions ranging from a more conservative to a more optimistic scenario, based on the metrics determining the WACC and the terminal value. As forecasted by the street consensus, Alphabet is anticipated to generate a massive 17.27% Free Cash Flow [FCF] CAGR over the coming 5 years, with its operating and net profitability increasing at respectively 12.73% and 13.80% CAGR, while its revenue is projected to expand at solid 10.98%, above the expected growth in the relevant industries.Author, using data from S&P Capital IQThe valuation takes into account a tighter monetary policy, which will undeniably be a reality in many economies worldwide in the coming years and lead to a higher weighted average cost of capital.AuthorI compute my opinion in terms of likelihood for the three different scenarios, and I, therefore, consider the stock to be significantly undervalued with a weighted average price target with about 54% upside potential at $152.Meta is forecasted to expand slower, with its sales growing at 9.20% CAGR over the next 5 years, and its operating and net profit margins are expected to grow between 8.5% and 8.9%, in terms of FCF the company is anticipated to substantially increase its metric, with 17.61% CAGR through 2026.Author, using data from S&P Capital IQI then consider the same three scenarios affected by the company’s fundamentals and by the exogenous factors.AuthorDespite both stocks seemingly being undervalued, when considering the weighted average price target, the two modelizations suggest that GOOG may offer a higher expected return, while META’s expected performance is seen 50% higher than the latest closing price, or at about $167. Both modelizations emphasize the still substantial expected return, also in the less optimistic scenario.Investors should consider that those forecasts are based on a relatively conservative assumption in terms of perpetual growth rates, higher discount rates, and the recent trend in increased interest rates, which reflects the actual situation and forecast possible scenarios. An inversion of this trend would change this perspective and value the company at a higher price.Outlook and Risk discussionWith both companies having tremendous possibilities to expand their powerful product ecosystem, it’s quite difficult to estimate their relevant total addressable market [TAM], as both peers have shown to be able to significantly grow their business either organically or through strategic acquisitions. Alphabet and Meta own strong brands with Google ranked in the fourth position in Interbrand's Best Global Brands, while Facebook is ranked 17th. Google’s essentially monopolistic position in search engines, its gigantic database with no equal data-harvesting worldwide, and the dominant position in the smartphone industry with Android estimated to hold a share of 72% in the mobile operating systems’ market, while Apple is progressively gaining market shares, are only some of the company’s major strengths. Despite this, with approximately 80% of its revenue originating from income related to advertising, the company’s revenue model is highly exposed to demand fluctuations, and with a recession likely seen coming in major global economies, dropping consumer spending and cuts in expenses on advertising, will likely have a tangible negative effect on the company’s results. Privacy concerns and regulatory pressure, as well as data security, are also possible future threats to Alphabet, Meta, and their peers, as the biggest strength for the companies, the massive data collection, is the most damaging weakness for their users. Among Alphabet’s most promising opportunities I do like to underscore the company’s positioning in terms of Artificial Intelligence [AI], Machine Learning [ML], and cloud-based business, as well as its expansion into the wearable OS market, and the great diversification opportunities the company could access or create through its colossal financial strength.Meta is building a strong product portfolio including WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Oculus, Workplace, Portal, and Calibra to diversify from Facebook and create expanded opportunities in strong secular trends. With over 45% of the world’s population using Facebook or its family products, the company holds an extremely powerful and irreplaceable position. But with approximately 98% of revenue originating from advertising, Meta is even more exposed to demand-driven fluctuations than Alphabet, and since the company is massively investing and focusing its resources on developing its visionary Metaverse, the diversification opportunities are, at least for the moment, seemingly more limited than Alphabet’s. Facebook has been losing popularity after facing backlash over its negligence in protecting the user’s privacy, while negative publicity, allegations of racial basis, or the platform’s inability to control the spread of fake and misleading information, may have cast a shadow on the company’s once brighter outlook. Despite this, Meta faces many opportunities in terms of possible monetization of its platforms through paid services such as news subscriptions, peer-to-peer marketplaces, online dating apps, e-wallets, or the development of other hardware devices, while its existing technologies could also be integrated or connected with a variety of other applications, such as e-commerce, gaming, or expanded into the digital creators' space, or by offering remote-work solutions. In terms of future-oriented secular growth vectors, Meta has extensive expertise in AI and ML, which the company could use to penetrate markets such as the technologies used for autonomous vehicles, where other competitors like Google, Amazon, and Apple are already massively investing.Alphabet is rated with a Strong Buy rating from Seeking Alpha’s Quant Rating since August 25, 2022, and holds the first two positions in the Interactive Media and Services industry through its two share classes.SeekingAlpha.comMeta has instead been qualified as a Hold position since the end of 2021 and is ranked 22 out of 62 in the relevant industry. Both companies are without seen excelling in terms of profitability, while growth and valuation seem to be less favorable factors in the actual uncertain market environment, with Meta also significantly suffering from the negative momentum in its more recent price action.SeekingAlpha.comThe Verdict: Which stock is the better buy?The two analyzed companies are two global leaders in the technology services industry, with their respective strengths and weaknesses, but also offering inherent opportunities with their correlated risks. From an investor's point of view, it’s important to consider the company’s ability to create value for its shareholders, while minimizing the risks. Past performance is not a guarantee for future results, and despite GOOG overall performing significantly better than META in the past few years, the latter is seemingly offering great opportunities ahead, and my rather conservative modelization hints at the significant undervaluation of both stocks. Both companies have strong financials and report high profitability, but Alphabet is seemingly on a better path, as the company reported an overall better trend and is expected to optimize its profitability even further, while also owning a massive idling cash position that offers incredibly many options, and could even further increase the company’s already superior capital allocation efficiency. Meta’s huge bet on the Metaverse may lead to great success, but it also bears a major risk, in times when the company’s great dependency on advertising spending is under pressure. While both companies’ Achilles heel is seemingly their dependency on spending in digital advertising, Meta is more reliant on it than Alphabet, and may also have shown less intention to diversify its revenue streams, when compared to its colossal peers. I consider both companies as being a buy position for long-term oriented investors, but overall in this comparative analysis, I chose Alphabet as my favorite stock pick, for its preeminent opportunities and lower risk profile, while seemingly also offering the greater potential in its stock performance, when considering all three forecasted scenarios.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":98,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9032001045,"gmtCreate":1647226024119,"gmtModify":1676534205112,"author":{"id":"3580689210488653","authorId":"3580689210488653","name":"SilentWarrio","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c904a9b7d64fe6eb5230d2a57a74ffee","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580689210488653","authorIdStr":"3580689210488653"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Very interesting and informative article.

Then look at what worries investors and if to which level that is warranted or not.</p><h2>The results in numbers</h2><p>As a group, Sea&#39;s revenue was $3.2B inQ4 2021, up 105.7% YoY, another double. Gross profit came in at $1.3B, up 145.6%. That&#39;s already important to see and therefore I want to point it out: gross profits are up more than revenue. The company has substantially higher gross profits than revenue growth, which shows that its growth leads to cost advantages, also known as operating leverage.</p><p>The EBITDA, though, came in at a loss of $492.1M, while it was a positive $48.7M in Q4 2020, that strange year. We&#39;ll come back to this, but let&#39;s first look at Sea&#39;s different divisions.</p><h2>Garena</h2><p>Garena&#39;s revenue was $1.4B, up 104.1% YoY. Bookings were $1.1B, up just 6.8% YoY. It&#39;s essential to understand the difference between these two. Bookings are the money that gamers have already paid, but that money can only be recognized as revenue when they spend it. If they pay $50 but only spend $10 in Q1 2022, there will be $10 in revenue but $50 in bookings. In that way, bookings give you a window into the future.</p><p>The Garena EBITDA was $602.6M, down 10.11% YoY. That comes entirely from the margins going down from 65.5% to 55.7%. The QAUs or quarterly active users number was up 7.1% YoY. As you can see, this number is close to the 6.8% extra bookings and that&#39;s no coincidence as the two are linked closely.</p><p>The QPU or quarterly paying users were up 5.6% YoY to 77.2 million. That&#39;s 11.8% of all the QUAs, while that was 12% in Q4 2020. Don&#39;t forget that Q4 was an exceptional quarter because of the pandemic, so this is still pretty good and above pre-pandemic levels. The average paying user paid $1.70, unchanged from Q4 2020.</p><p>Free Fire remained the most downloaded game worldwide (for the third consecutive quarter) and ranked second when it came to monthly active users for all mobile games on Google Play for both the quarter and the full year. In Southeast Asia and Latin America, Free Fire remained the highest-grossing mobile game for the 10th consecutive quarter. Free Fire was the highest-grossing mobile battle royal game in the US for Q4 and FY 2021. All impressive achievements for a company with its first self-developed game.</p><p>What these numbers clearly show is that Free Fire, which accounts for about 75% of Garena&#39;s revenue, is still (here it comes)<i>firing</i>on all cylinders. It&#39;s a hugely successful game, and it keeps doing well, but the difference between Q4 2021 and Q4 2020 is, of course, that kids now have to go to school or college and, therefore, simply have less time to play their favorite game. Free Fire still grows, albeit modestly, which is a substantial accomplishment, although many won&#39;t see it like that. Overall, engagement in gaming has declined, as you can also see from the results from other gaming companies and that&#39;s not strange, considering the circumstances. We come back to Garena later in this article.</p><h2>Shopee</h2><p>Shopee&#39;s revenue came in at $1.6B, up 89.4% YoY, a very strong achievement, as this is also on top of a Covid-fueled Q4 2020. $1.3B came from marketplace revenue, up 103.5% YoY, the remaining $300M from product revenue, up 48.1% YoY. Product revenue is revenue from Shopee as 1P, in other words, products the company buys and sells itself, like the original Amazon model. As you can see, the marketplace revenue grows much faster, and of course, margins have the potential to be much higher there as well.</p><p>There were two billion gross orders in Q4 2021, resulting in 90.1% YoY growth, and total GMV came in at $18.2B. GMV stands for gross merchandise volume, meaning the total dollar amount of everything sold on the platform in Q4. GMV grew 52.7% YoY.</p><p>It&#39;s not strange to see this grow less outspoken than gross orders if you know the context. Shopee has launched in quite a few new markets recently (India, Mexico, Argentina...), and in new markets, people always tend to buy lower-priced items to test out the service. That lowers the average ticket price of items sold. With $18.2B and two billion orders, the average item cost is just above $9, relatively low, but you should see that go up over time, as it previously did in other markets.</p><p>The EBITDA for Shopee in Q4 was a loss of $877.7 million, more than doubling the EBITDA loss of 427.5M of Q4 2020. Again, this is the consequence of launching in new markets. If it launches,Shopeeinitially takes big losses because of free shipping and an extremely low take-rate (often zero) to onboard merchants. This could be another reason why investors are worried. In these times, interest rates are expected to grow. According to some banks, nine interest rate hikes areexpectedfor 2022 (which I don&#39;t see happening). Investors see this and they get scared about the big losses that Shopee brings to Sea. I&#39;ll address this worry later in the article.</p><p>In Southeast Asia and Taiwan, Shopee&#39;s original market, the EBITDA loss per order was $0.15, down from $0.21 in Q4 2020. That also shows that the bigger losses don&#39;t come from there, even though orders probably went up quite significantly. Again, the bigger losses came from the new markets Shopee invests in heavily to gain market share. It does that quite successfully, I should add.</p><h2>SeaMoney</h2><p>E-commerce platforms are not really that great when it comes to investing in them. The real value for shareholders is in the extra services built on top of them. Amazon launched Prime, MercadoLibre added MercadoPago and those are the real high-margin businesses that are interesting for the long-term investors that we are as Multis.</p><p>For Sea, SeaMoney is a great opportunity. Shopee is crucial in the acquisition of customers for SeaMoney. The service is fully integrated with Shopee. While Shopee&#39;s results were outstanding, SeaMoney&#39;s results were jaw-dropping.</p><p>Revenue was up 711.1% YoY to $197.5M in Q4. Of course, this was growing from a small basis, but that growth in just one year is always very impressive to see. At the same time, the EBITDA loss went down from $171.3M in last year&#39;s Q4 to $149.8M in Q4 2021. TPV (total payment volume) was up 70.1% YoY to $5B.</p><h2>In trouble or not?</h2><p>As you can guess, from the stock price drop, investors saw reasons that worried them. And a stock that is down 70% could indicate a company in trouble, right? Not so here.</p><h3>1. Garena</h3><p>Garena is seen as the main cause of the significant stock price drop. What mostly spooked investors was that several key metrics came down QoQ:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4285af7dc6e461e29bb2be62413b9792\" tg-width=\"308\" tg-height=\"421\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Earnings slides</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1f487efbc5b4012d4ed433aeb7e0d3df\" tg-width=\"401\" tg-height=\"443\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Earnings slides</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c7dd3b8252149dd4794e976231a52873\" tg-width=\"400\" tg-height=\"399\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Earnings slides</p><p><i>(Source:earnings call slides)</i></p><p>Especially the QPUs were down a lot compared to Q3 2021: 20%. QAUs were down 11.5% and bookings, the most important metric as this predicts the future revenue of Garena, 9%.</p><p>If you look at Activision Blizzard&#39;s (ATVI) resultsas a comparison, you see that Sea has actually done pretty well. Activision Blizzard&#39;s bookings were down 18.6% YoY already in Q4. However, it has to be said that Blizzard, the mobile gaming division, did better than the rest of the company&#39;s divisions, but still worse than Garena.</p><p>So, this is not a bad performance from Garena, but an industry-wide slowdown compared to that exceptional previous year that they had. You could argue that because of its core market in Southeast Asia, Garena&#39;s slowdown was slower to kick in as the pandemic restrictions were kept in place for a longer time there.</p><p>If you look at FY 2021, Garena&#39;s revenue was up 114.3% YoY to $4.3B, while bookings rose 44.3% YoY to $4.6B. For 2022, Sea projects bookings of $2.9B to $3.1B, which means 35% less than in 2021. While the adjusted EBTIDA was 60% of bookings in 2021, the current trend shows that this will probably be more between 50% and 55% going forward.</p><p>This was emphasized everywhere: Garena would no longer be a cash cow to fuel Sea&#39;s growth in its two other divisions. Some called this a huge problem. I can see the cause of the concerns, but I tend to disagree that this is a thesis-changing outlook if you consider this into a broader context, if you listen carefully to what management says, and especially if you look at the long term. Let me explain.</p><p>With $3B in bookings for FY 2022 and 50% EBITDA margins (both are very conservative, in my opinion), Garena would produce $1.5B in EBITDA for Sea. With $4.3B in bookings and 60% EBITDA margins, this was $2.58B in EBITDA in 2021. That&#39;s, give and take, a difference of $1.3B for one year, which is quite substantial, of course.</p><p>I think in reality, the difference will be smaller, as the company always guides very conservatively and on top of that, it has excluded India for the whole year, while there might be a solution coming, especially now that the Singaporean government has put its weight behind Sea versus the Indian government, asseveral sources have reported.</p><p>We still don&#39;t know why Free Fire was banned exactly. Did Garena partly use Chinese (Tencent) data centers? Seapointed out:</p><blockquote>We do not transfer to, or store any data of our Indian users in, China.</blockquote><p>Or was it the company structure, in which Tencent used to have quite some voting rights? Remarkably, Free Fire was banned just two days before Sea&#39;s General Meeting, which formalized the changes through which Tencent got less than 10% of the voting power.</p><p>Despite some Tencent ownership, Sea is entirely Singaporean and the relations between India and Singapore have been very good for a very long time. They signed the CECA (Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement) in 2005 and Singapore is India&#39;s 5th-largest trading partner.</p><p>Forrest Li said on the conference call:</p><blockquote>We remain extremely focused on developing Garena&#39;s global platform, which we see as a key strategic asset in the long run.</blockquote><p>And in the press release:</p><blockquote>We are working on multiple prototype games across different stages through both self-development and publishing pipelines. In 2022 and beyond, we expect to expand our portfolio with more games across diverse genres such as multiplayer action, role-playing, sandbox and casual games.</blockquote><p>An analyst pressed a bit on the conference call, but Sea is not the company to announce long before. It only communicates when it can launch. But they are likely working on something new that can help Free Fire carry the burden of Garena. In 2020, it bought Phoenix Labs, the maker of Dauntless, and in 2021, it made investments in five other gaming companies. So I think they are working on something, but as is typical for the company, they only want to communicate when there is a launch date.</p><p>In 2023 (I think at the end of the year, but I haven&#39;t found explicit confirmation there), the current deal with Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY) expires. Because of that deal, signed in 2018, the company has the first right to publish all Tencent games in Southeast Asia. So maybe that deal could be extended, maybe not. In any case, I think Garena needs a second game before that, just to hedge against a less favorable or no deal anymore.</p><p>Forrest Li addressed this issue and pointed out that next to developing their own games, Garena could expand their distribution deals beyond Tencent.</p><blockquote>Over the long-term, our priority remains sustaining and growing our existing major franchises, while diversifying our games portfolio. Our strong and growing self-development capabilities will be a key component of this diversification effort. Our teams are working on multiple prototype games across different genres and stages.</blockquote><blockquote>In due course, we expect to bring more self-developed games to market. We also continue to actively acquire and invest in top talent and game IP to further expand our capabilities of both genre and geographies. Meanwhile, we will keep growing our publishing relationships, leveraging our unique set of strengths across diverse global markets.</blockquote><p>Garena is also already working on the metaverse. Forrest Li onthe conference call:</p><blockquote>Additionally, we have seen strong engagements with user-generated content through modes like Craftland, our recently introduced map editor feature. Since the launch the most popular Craftland maps have subscribed by close to 40 million users so far.</blockquote><blockquote>We will continue to encourage user-generated content by enhancing greater features and accessibility. We believe that a strong user reception to Craftland is a positive indicator of the initial success to encourage user participation in content creation and to build Free Fire into an increasingly open platform and is well aligned with major emerging industry trends such as metaverse.</blockquote><h3>2. Shopee</h3><p>With a negative EBITDA of $877M in a quarter, Shopee could be a reason to worry as well, especially now that Garena will be less profitable. Shopee had a negative $0.15 EBITDA per order. With two billion orders in a quarter, that&#39;s problematic, you would think. But it&#39;s not. Shopee is the number one marketplace now in all of its Southeastern Asian markets, even Indonesia, which was confirmed in the press release (my italics).</p><blockquote>In<i>Indonesia, where Shopee is the largest e-commerce platform</i>, gross orders grew by around 88% year-on-year. Shopee also continued to rank first in the Shopping category by average monthly active users and total time spent in-app for the fourth quarter and for the full year of 2021, according todata.ai.</blockquote><p>That&#39;s very exciting. Indonesia is expected to be one of the top-5 economies in 2050 (after China, the US, and India). Even if that prediction proves to be too optimistic, it&#39;s still a huge country with a huge population and huge growth perspectives.</p><p>Suppose the Garena projections would be accurate. $1.5B in EBITDA for Sea. That&#39;s free money, so to speak, to grow the two other businesses. Mercado Libre (MELI), Shopee&#39;s most significant competitor in LatAm, doesn&#39;t have that highly profitable division. GoTo, the company formed by Gojek and Tokopedia, the only really powerful competitor in Indonesia, doesn&#39;t have that capital either. Lazada, owned by Alibaba, has the firepower, of course, but it has had that for years and still, it lost its dominant position to Shopee over time. Shopee is the number one in all of the countries it launched in originally: Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam.</p><p>Being the biggest gives Sea leverage. Would you skip to another platform for $0.15 extra on an order of probably around $15 (as that&#39;s probably the current order size in SEA by now)? That&#39;s just 1%. I know that I wouldn&#39;t.</p><p>This is what Forrest Li, Sea&#39;s founder and CEO, said on the conference call:</p><blockquote>We currently expect Shopee to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA before HQ cost allocation in Southeast Asia and Taiwan by this year.</blockquote><p>I&#39;m not sure what &#39;HQ cost allocation&#39; is precisely and that could have been made clearer. Is it a form of G&amp;A (general and administrative costs)? I like that Sea gives us a lot of insights in their business, much more than, for example, Amazon or Google do, but this should have been made clearer to know the impact.</p><p>But for the rest, this is good. In its guidance, Sea expects Shopee&#39;s revenue to grow by more than 75% in 2022 to $8.9B to $9.1B. It would be a good development if that can be profitable, or even at just a slight loss (after &#39;HQ cost allocation&#39;) in Shopee&#39;s core market. That means that the money that Garena still generates (and about $10B on the balance sheet) can be used to grow Shopee in Brazil and even earlier markets. From thepress release:</p><blockquote>In Brazil, where Shopee was launched in late 2019, we have already achieved strong traction with meaningful commercialization and improving efficiency.</blockquote><p>As you see, even in Brazil, the efficiency is improving, just barely two years after the launch.</p><p>Investors often make projections by drawing lines. From negative EBITDA of $427M to negative $877M, a red alarm goes off in their head, signaling that this is unsustainable. And, of course, it is. But you can&#39;t just draw a line from a loss of $427M to $877M to even more losses. Bringing things to the essence is very important in investing, but it is too complicated to make it too simple.</p><p>Of course, you should still expect negative EBITDA next year, as Shopee expects to continue investing heavily in Brazil. Forrest Li on the conference call:</p><blockquote>Broadly speaking Shopee LatAm and Brazil in particular, as well as R&amp;D will be our top two focus areas for investments. Our investments and the overall impact on the bottom line is likely front-loaded as unit economics and profitability for our businesses generally improve with scale.</blockquote><p>Forrest Li has shown that he executes when he talks. It&#39;s very rare for him to pound his chest. This time, he did that a bit, though, probably to comfort his shareholders, pointing out that Shopee has already been very successful in seven very diverse markets before. Here you see why I say that he pounds his chest because of Sea&#39;s shareholders (<i>my bold</i>):</p><blockquote>Of course, it&#39;d be much easier operationally for us to just focus on the seven existing core markets for Shopee. However, we strongly believe that by investing prudently and sustainably in Shopee Lat Am and Brazil in particular,<b>we will generate significant value for our shareholders in the long run.</b></blockquote><blockquote>While we do not underestimate the challenges of any new market expansion, I would also like to highlight that we have an established track record, seven times in seven highly diverse and complex markets of Southeast Asia and Taiwan, where we started in each of those markets in 2015. We have significantly net resources, experience and the know-how and as a result, find a much more formidable competitive landscape that we currently do in our market expansion.</blockquote><p>I really like this whole quote, as it shows everything I like about Sea and Forrest Li. They don&#39;t take the easy road that would be easiest for the short term; they look at this from a long-term perspective. As a long-term investor, that&#39;s music to my ears. Li also doesn&#39;t deny that it&#39;s hard what Shopee tries, but he shows that Shopee has the experience of seven different countries. Many investors who don&#39;t live in Southeast Asia may see the region as one part of the world, but the reality is that all countries are entirely different. For example, Singapore is a wealthy city-state with one of the lowest corruption rates in the world (far better than the US and most European countries). On the other hand, Indonesia is a conglomerate of thousands of islands, which is much earlier in its development and has a ton of internal regional differences. And those are just two of the seven.</p><p>Shopee sees big success in Brazil. In Q4 2021, it had 140 million orders, up 400% YoY for $70M of revenue, up 326% YoY. That means that there was just $0.50 of revenue for Shopee per order, and there was a significant loss on every order, of course. The company shared in its press release that the EBITDA loss per order improved by more than 40% YoY, to below $2.00. But that still means an EBITDA loss of $280M in just a quarter. For 2022, you can expect the same thing: improving losses, but still, substantial losses. While that may sound scary, it&#39;s part of Shopee&#39;s success formula.</p><p>In just two years, Shopee Brazil managed to rank first by downloads in the shopping category and total time spent in-app and second by average monthly active users in Brazil. That&#39;s simply insane. If you see this, and you can separate yourself from your emotions about the stock price, I think you see that the potential for Sea is vast.</p><p>If you look worldwide, Shopee ranked first for downloads in the shopping category both for Q4 and for FY 2021. Shopee also ranked first globally regarding total time spent in-app for shopping on Google Play. The iPhone is primarily a Western story; outside of the US and Western Europe, Google&#39;s Android dominates the market by a gigantic market share of probably 90%, so this is very important. Shopee also ranked second worldwide on Google Play when it came to average MAUs (monthly active users) in Q4 and FY 2021.</p><p>Shopee is on track to go to nearly $100B in GMV in 2022. That means that whole families depend on the platform, both from the merchant and customer sides. That means that Shopee has pricing power, even if that will always be limited because of the competition. It can add several extra monetizable services for merchants (ads, more insights, gamification, etc.) and it could introduce some sort of Amazon (AMZN) Prime formula in the future, especially if you combine it with its two other current divisions.</p><h3>3. SeaMoney</h3><p>SeaMoney is crucial for Sea over the longer term. With revenue growth of 711% in 2021, the comps are of course hard, but Sea sees growth of 155% to $1.2B at the midpoint for the current year on top of that 711% growth. And if history is a guide, it will probably beat that guidance.</p><p>The company even expects SeaMoney to be cashflow positive by next year, showing how quickly this can scale. Of course, there are high upfront costs, and the investments will continue, but the relatively higher gross margins and flexibility promise many good things for the future. Once the banking charters Sea has obtained in several countries start to kick in more and more, this will mean even more profitability for SeaMoney.</p><p>The operating leverage also shows in the number of users. The QAUs (quarterly average users) went up 89.7%. Do you see the huge difference between user growth and revenue growth (remember 711%)? That&#39;s just the start for SeaMoney but it shows the vast potential.</p><p>One of the reasons is cross-selling, just like MercadoPago has done and is continuing to do, for example, with MercadoCredito. From Sea&#39;spress release:</p><blockquote>In Indonesia, which has the most comprehensive set of products and services among our markets, over 20% of the quarterly active users have used multiple SeaMoney products or services in the fourth quarter. We view this as a highly positive indicator of the strong efficiencies we can leverage in bringing new offerings to our large and fast-growing user base on the Shopee and SeaMoney platforms, which are both highly synergistic with one another and enjoy a strong flywheel effect in the scaling of each platform.</blockquote><p>Again, I should add that this is just the start. More and more products will be added in more and more markets. Again from the press release:</p><blockquote>We also expanded various products offerings including credit services to consumers and merchants across more markets, started offering services in digital banking and insurtech in Indonesia and obtained a bank license in the Philippines.</blockquote><p>That was new for me too. I didn&#39;t know that Sea already had a banking license in The Philippines. This is very interesting. The Philippines are another big market that is growing fast. I also didn&#39;t know that it started with insurtech in Indonesia. Sea now has banking licenses in Singapore, The Philippines and Indonesia (through the acquisition of Bank BKE) and has applied for one in Malaysia.</p><p>Shopee Brazil could launch SeaMoney (usually commercialized as ShopeePay) in a few years and other Latin American countries could follow. So there is still a ton of optionality.</p><h2>Summary of the outlook</h2><p>While some things look frightening without context, I think you should focus on what Sea is building over the long term. It has the financial power to continue to expand its reach. Yes, Garena is now back at 2020 levels, but that&#39;s not too bad. Shopee and SeaMoney have grown so fast that they can now use their scale advantages more and more. Shopee in Southeast Asia should be EBITDA positive this year already and SeaMoney next year.</p><p>Forrest Li on the conference call:</p><blockquote>As a result, we currently expect that by 2025 cash generated by Shopee and SeaMoney proactively will enable these two businesses to substantially self-fund their own long-term growth.</blockquote><blockquote>We believe that we have the financial resources required to grow the two businesses to the inflection point without having to heavily rely on cash generated from the digital entertainment business. Of course, any additional growth from Garena will further strengthen our position.</blockquote><p>I think that this should give investors confidence. After all, Forrest Li has executed outstandingly so far; why not believe him now?</p><h2>Optionality</h2><p>The most important thing about Sea is that it still has so much optionality. Opportunities abound. Don&#39;t forget that the company has SAIL, which stands for Sea AI Labs. It spends a lot on R&amp;D there. Who knows, it may come up with a version of Upstart&#39;s AI for loans? It would definitely make sense. It could give its Shopee shoppers better recommendations, making them buy more. It could offer business software for its merchants to help them to sell better on Shopee. I&#39;m tired of the overhyped term metaverse, but with gaming, AI, shopping and an integrated payment solution, Sea seems to be fully ready when it would take off too. I&#39;m just thinking of some obvious ideas here, but there is a lot more.</p><p>There&#39;s also ShopeeFood, a food delivery service integrated into Shopee in a few markets. We probably all know that this is another very low-margin business, but if you can combine it with shopping (on Shopee) and grocery deliveries, it can be much more profitable, as Meituan has shown in China or Uber Eats shows for Uber (UBER). Just for the record, I&#39;m not a fan of Uber&#39;s business model but if there is anything good about this company its the Uber Eats division, in my opinion.</p><p>And those are just two existing divisions of Sea. The company has tried out several things in the past. It tries things out and kills them fast when they don&#39;t work. They had a sort of business communication platform at one time, a bit like Slack, but it was shut down after a few months. They launched Shopee in France, they saw it didn&#39;t work and they shut it down after just five months. That&#39;s at least as important as innovation: knowing when to stop wasting money and Sea has a good track record there as well.</p><h2>Valuation</h2><p>This is the P/S ratio of the stock since the IPO:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed531584cceb657f74a305deccb360f4\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data byYCharts</p><p>As you can see, the valuation based on the P/S ratio is now almost at its lowest point ever, despite the fact that Sea is a much better and bigger company now, which means less risk.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/64cd0f71b428c704d7f9816e330b04bc\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data byYCharts</p><p>If you look at Enterprise value divided by gross profit, it&#39;s even more apparent how cheap Sea has become.</p><p>If you divide Enterprise Value and Gross Profit, you see that Sea trades at an EV/GP of 12.48.</p><p>I recently used a few companies as examples in myTwilio valuation article. These numbers have changed a bit, so I have updated them.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2a239f0d913b7ff4356ef655615744aa\" tg-width=\"462\" tg-height=\"291\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Made by the author</p><p>Sea is expected to grow its revenue faster than all of these over the next three years. The consensus stands at 34%. I know that Sea has guided for &#39;just&#39; 32% growth next year but I think this will prove to be very conservative, as Sea usually sandbags the guidance.</p><p>EV/GP shows what a company<i>could</i>make, now or in the future. For the more mature companies, that&#39;s now, which means that their growth is slower. For younger companies like Sea, growth is still higher and you should expect profitability to only kick in later, as it&#39;s still growing fast. You want them to keep investing, but of course that growth must be sustainable. A company must have the means to fund its growth. With the cash that Garena still makes, the higher emphasis on profitability for Shopee and SeaMoney and Sea&#39;s big war chest of more than $10B, I don&#39;t think this is a problem. I believe Sea is cheap here.</p><p>Some might argue that the stock is still expensive because of the pandemic. But if we look at the pre-pandemic levels and compare to now, you see that the revenue and especially gross profit have gone up a lot more than the market cap.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ebf6c2d37c11d296812cb0bcd0083c68\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/>Data byYChartsHigher risk</p><p>There is risk in every investment and there is no denying that the uncertainties have grown recently for Sea:</p><p>* What about Garena&#39;s slowdown? Will that continue in the future?</p><p>* What about Free Fire in India?</p><p>* What about Shopee in India? Could it be targeted as well?</p><p>* What about Sea&#39;s relation with Tencent? Will it still be the preferred distributor of Tencent games in Southeast Asia after 2023?</p><p>Despite the fact that Sea has grown into my biggest position (I started buying at $54), I shouldn&#39;t be too emotional about this and acknowledge that the risks have indeed grown recently. It will probably remain my biggest position and I will keep adding to my position, especially at these low prices, but I just can&#39;t ignore the higher risks that have emerged in the last few months. But the path of every fantastic stock ever has been paved with worries. For Sea, this is no different.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>Despite a good quarter, Sea&#39;s stock price keeps slumping. It&#39;s down 75% from its recent highs now. That has made the stock cheap, in my opinion, which, of course, doesn&#39;t mean it can&#39;t go down more over the short term. I&#39;ll keep scaling in slowly over time.

The stock has dropped substantially since then, bringing it down 75% from its high now.We look at the numbers in full detail and look at several insights that we can get from the numbers. Context is extremely important here.We also look at the guidance and the future of Garena, Shopee and SeaMoney.Sea has a ton of optionality, some obvious, some less obvious.I argue why I think the stock has become cheap now from the perspective of a long-term investor.I do much more than just articles at Potential Multibaggers: Members get access to model portfolios, regular updates, a chat room, and more.kokkai/iStock Unreleased via Getty ImagesIntroductionSea's (SE) stock price has dropped a lot over the last few months and the recent Q4 and FY 2021 earnings results added to that drop, dropping 13% on the day of the earnings.Data byYChartsThe stock is now down 75% from its highs just a few months ago. And it is down ~58% year to date.Data byYChartsTo put this into a meaningful context, let's dive into the Q4 and FY 2021 earnings first, which were released on March 1. Then look at what worries investors and if to which level that is warranted or not.The results in numbersAs a group, Sea's revenue was $3.2B inQ4 2021, up 105.7% YoY, another double. Gross profit came in at $1.3B, up 145.6%. That's already important to see and therefore I want to point it out: gross profits are up more than revenue. The company has substantially higher gross profits than revenue growth, which shows that its growth leads to cost advantages, also known as operating leverage.The EBITDA, though, came in at a loss of $492.1M, while it was a positive $48.7M in Q4 2020, that strange year. We'll come back to this, but let's first look at Sea's different divisions.GarenaGarena's revenue was $1.4B, up 104.1% YoY. Bookings were $1.1B, up just 6.8% YoY. It's essential to understand the difference between these two. Bookings are the money that gamers have already paid, but that money can only be recognized as revenue when they spend it. If they pay $50 but only spend $10 in Q1 2022, there will be $10 in revenue but $50 in bookings. In that way, bookings give you a window into the future.The Garena EBITDA was $602.6M, down 10.11% YoY. That comes entirely from the margins going down from 65.5% to 55.7%. The QAUs or quarterly active users number was up 7.1% YoY. As you can see, this number is close to the 6.8% extra bookings and that's no coincidence as the two are linked closely.The QPU or quarterly paying users were up 5.6% YoY to 77.2 million. That's 11.8% of all the QUAs, while that was 12% in Q4 2020. Don't forget that Q4 was an exceptional quarter because of the pandemic, so this is still pretty good and above pre-pandemic levels. The average paying user paid $1.70, unchanged from Q4 2020.Free Fire remained the most downloaded game worldwide (for the third consecutive quarter) and ranked second when it came to monthly active users for all mobile games on Google Play for both the quarter and the full year. In Southeast Asia and Latin America, Free Fire remained the highest-grossing mobile game for the 10th consecutive quarter. Free Fire was the highest-grossing mobile battle royal game in the US for Q4 and FY 2021. All impressive achievements for a company with its first self-developed game.What these numbers clearly show is that Free Fire, which accounts for about 75% of Garena's revenue, is still (here it comes)firingon all cylinders. It's a hugely successful game, and it keeps doing well, but the difference between Q4 2021 and Q4 2020 is, of course, that kids now have to go to school or college and, therefore, simply have less time to play their favorite game. Free Fire still grows, albeit modestly, which is a substantial accomplishment, although many won't see it like that. Overall, engagement in gaming has declined, as you can also see from the results from other gaming companies and that's not strange, considering the circumstances. We come back to Garena later in this article.ShopeeShopee's revenue came in at $1.6B, up 89.4% YoY, a very strong achievement, as this is also on top of a Covid-fueled Q4 2020. $1.3B came from marketplace revenue, up 103.5% YoY, the remaining $300M from product revenue, up 48.1% YoY. Product revenue is revenue from Shopee as 1P, in other words, products the company buys and sells itself, like the original Amazon model. As you can see, the marketplace revenue grows much faster, and of course, margins have the potential to be much higher there as well.There were two billion gross orders in Q4 2021, resulting in 90.1% YoY growth, and total GMV came in at $18.2B. GMV stands for gross merchandise volume, meaning the total dollar amount of everything sold on the platform in Q4. GMV grew 52.7% YoY.It's not strange to see this grow less outspoken than gross orders if you know the context. Shopee has launched in quite a few new markets recently (India, Mexico, Argentina...), and in new markets, people always tend to buy lower-priced items to test out the service. That lowers the average ticket price of items sold. With $18.2B and two billion orders, the average item cost is just above $9, relatively low, but you should see that go up over time, as it previously did in other markets.The EBITDA for Shopee in Q4 was a loss of $877.7 million, more than doubling the EBITDA loss of 427.5M of Q4 2020. Again, this is the consequence of launching in new markets. If it launches,Shopeeinitially takes big losses because of free shipping and an extremely low take-rate (often zero) to onboard merchants. This could be another reason why investors are worried. In these times, interest rates are expected to grow. According to some banks, nine interest rate hikes areexpectedfor 2022 (which I don't see happening). Investors see this and they get scared about the big losses that Shopee brings to Sea. I'll address this worry later in the article.In Southeast Asia and Taiwan, Shopee's original market, the EBITDA loss per order was $0.15, down from $0.21 in Q4 2020. That also shows that the bigger losses don't come from there, even though orders probably went up quite significantly. Again, the bigger losses came from the new markets Shopee invests in heavily to gain market share. It does that quite successfully, I should add.SeaMoneyE-commerce platforms are not really that great when it comes to investing in them. The real value for shareholders is in the extra services built on top of them. Amazon launched Prime, MercadoLibre added MercadoPago and those are the real high-margin businesses that are interesting for the long-term investors that we are as Multis.For Sea, SeaMoney is a great opportunity. Shopee is crucial in the acquisition of customers for SeaMoney. The service is fully integrated with Shopee. While Shopee's results were outstanding, SeaMoney's results were jaw-dropping.Revenue was up 711.1% YoY to $197.5M in Q4. Of course, this was growing from a small basis, but that growth in just one year is always very impressive to see. At the same time, the EBITDA loss went down from $171.3M in last year's Q4 to $149.8M in Q4 2021. TPV (total payment volume) was up 70.1% YoY to $5B.In trouble or not?As you can guess, from the stock price drop, investors saw reasons that worried them. And a stock that is down 70% could indicate a company in trouble, right? Not so here.1. GarenaGarena is seen as the main cause of the significant stock price drop. What mostly spooked investors was that several key metrics came down QoQ:Earnings slidesEarnings slidesEarnings slides(Source:earnings call slides)Especially the QPUs were down a lot compared to Q3 2021: 20%. QAUs were down 11.5% and bookings, the most important metric as this predicts the future revenue of Garena, 9%.If you look at Activision Blizzard's (ATVI) resultsas a comparison, you see that Sea has actually done pretty well. Activision Blizzard's bookings were down 18.6% YoY already in Q4. However, it has to be said that Blizzard, the mobile gaming division, did better than the rest of the company's divisions, but still worse than Garena.So, this is not a bad performance from Garena, but an industry-wide slowdown compared to that exceptional previous year that they had. You could argue that because of its core market in Southeast Asia, Garena's slowdown was slower to kick in as the pandemic restrictions were kept in place for a longer time there.If you look at FY 2021, Garena's revenue was up 114.3% YoY to $4.3B, while bookings rose 44.3% YoY to $4.6B. For 2022, Sea projects bookings of $2.9B to $3.1B, which means 35% less than in 2021. While the adjusted EBTIDA was 60% of bookings in 2021, the current trend shows that this will probably be more between 50% and 55% going forward.This was emphasized everywhere: Garena would no longer be a cash cow to fuel Sea's growth in its two other divisions. Some called this a huge problem. I can see the cause of the concerns, but I tend to disagree that this is a thesis-changing outlook if you consider this into a broader context, if you listen carefully to what management says, and especially if you look at the long term. Let me explain.With $3B in bookings for FY 2022 and 50% EBITDA margins (both are very conservative, in my opinion), Garena would produce $1.5B in EBITDA for Sea. With $4.3B in bookings and 60% EBITDA margins, this was $2.58B in EBITDA in 2021. That's, give and take, a difference of $1.3B for one year, which is quite substantial, of course.I think in reality, the difference will be smaller, as the company always guides very conservatively and on top of that, it has excluded India for the whole year, while there might be a solution coming, especially now that the Singaporean government has put its weight behind Sea versus the Indian government, asseveral sources have reported.We still don't know why Free Fire was banned exactly. Did Garena partly use Chinese (Tencent) data centers? Seapointed out:We do not transfer to, or store any data of our Indian users in, China.Or was it the company structure, in which Tencent used to have quite some voting rights? Remarkably, Free Fire was banned just two days before Sea's General Meeting, which formalized the changes through which Tencent got less than 10% of the voting power.Despite some Tencent ownership, Sea is entirely Singaporean and the relations between India and Singapore have been very good for a very long time. They signed the CECA (Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement) in 2005 and Singapore is India's 5th-largest trading partner.Forrest Li said on the conference call:We remain extremely focused on developing Garena's global platform, which we see as a key strategic asset in the long run.And in the press release:We are working on multiple prototype games across different stages through both self-development and publishing pipelines. In 2022 and beyond, we expect to expand our portfolio with more games across diverse genres such as multiplayer action, role-playing, sandbox and casual games.An analyst pressed a bit on the conference call, but Sea is not the company to announce long before. It only communicates when it can launch. But they are likely working on something new that can help Free Fire carry the burden of Garena. In 2020, it bought Phoenix Labs, the maker of Dauntless, and in 2021, it made investments in five other gaming companies. So I think they are working on something, but as is typical for the company, they only want to communicate when there is a launch date.In 2023 (I think at the end of the year, but I haven't found explicit confirmation there), the current deal with Tencent (OTCPK:TCEHY) expires. Because of that deal, signed in 2018, the company has the first right to publish all Tencent games in Southeast Asia. So maybe that deal could be extended, maybe not. In any case, I think Garena needs a second game before that, just to hedge against a less favorable or no deal anymore.Forrest Li addressed this issue and pointed out that next to developing their own games, Garena could expand their distribution deals beyond Tencent.Over the long-term, our priority remains sustaining and growing our existing major franchises, while diversifying our games portfolio. Our strong and growing self-development capabilities will be a key component of this diversification effort. Our teams are working on multiple prototype games across different genres and stages.In due course, we expect to bring more self-developed games to market. We also continue to actively acquire and invest in top talent and game IP to further expand our capabilities of both genre and geographies. Meanwhile, we will keep growing our publishing relationships, leveraging our unique set of strengths across diverse global markets.Garena is also already working on the metaverse. Forrest Li onthe conference call:Additionally, we have seen strong engagements with user-generated content through modes like Craftland, our recently introduced map editor feature. Since the launch the most popular Craftland maps have subscribed by close to 40 million users so far.We will continue to encourage user-generated content by enhancing greater features and accessibility. We believe that a strong user reception to Craftland is a positive indicator of the initial success to encourage user participation in content creation and to build Free Fire into an increasingly open platform and is well aligned with major emerging industry trends such as metaverse.2. ShopeeWith a negative EBITDA of $877M in a quarter, Shopee could be a reason to worry as well, especially now that Garena will be less profitable. Shopee had a negative $0.15 EBITDA per order. With two billion orders in a quarter, that's problematic, you would think. But it's not. Shopee is the number one marketplace now in all of its Southeastern Asian markets, even Indonesia, which was confirmed in the press release (my italics).InIndonesia, where Shopee is the largest e-commerce platform, gross orders grew by around 88% year-on-year. Shopee also continued to rank first in the Shopping category by average monthly active users and total time spent in-app for the fourth quarter and for the full year of 2021, according todata.ai.That's very exciting. Indonesia is expected to be one of the top-5 economies in 2050 (after China, the US, and India). Even if that prediction proves to be too optimistic, it's still a huge country with a huge population and huge growth perspectives.Suppose the Garena projections would be accurate. $1.5B in EBITDA for Sea. That's free money, so to speak, to grow the two other businesses. Mercado Libre (MELI), Shopee's most significant competitor in LatAm, doesn't have that highly profitable division. GoTo, the company formed by Gojek and Tokopedia, the only really powerful competitor in Indonesia, doesn't have that capital either. Lazada, owned by Alibaba, has the firepower, of course, but it has had that for years and still, it lost its dominant position to Shopee over time. Shopee is the number one in all of the countries it launched in originally: Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam.Being the biggest gives Sea leverage. Would you skip to another platform for $0.15 extra on an order of probably around $15 (as that's probably the current order size in SEA by now)? That's just 1%. I know that I wouldn't.This is what Forrest Li, Sea's founder and CEO, said on the conference call:We currently expect Shopee to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA before HQ cost allocation in Southeast Asia and Taiwan by this year.I'm not sure what 'HQ cost allocation' is precisely and that could have been made clearer. Is it a form of G&A (general and administrative costs)? I like that Sea gives us a lot of insights in their business, much more than, for example, Amazon or Google do, but this should have been made clearer to know the impact.But for the rest, this is good. In its guidance, Sea expects Shopee's revenue to grow by more than 75% in 2022 to $8.9B to $9.1B. It would be a good development if that can be profitable, or even at just a slight loss (after 'HQ cost allocation') in Shopee's core market. That means that the money that Garena still generates (and about $10B on the balance sheet) can be used to grow Shopee in Brazil and even earlier markets. From thepress release:In Brazil, where Shopee was launched in late 2019, we have already achieved strong traction with meaningful commercialization and improving efficiency.As you see, even in Brazil, the efficiency is improving, just barely two years after the launch.Investors often make projections by drawing lines. From negative EBITDA of $427M to negative $877M, a red alarm goes off in their head, signaling that this is unsustainable. And, of course, it is. But you can't just draw a line from a loss of $427M to $877M to even more losses. Bringing things to the essence is very important in investing, but it is too complicated to make it too simple.Of course, you should still expect negative EBITDA next year, as Shopee expects to continue investing heavily in Brazil. Forrest Li on the conference call:Broadly speaking Shopee LatAm and Brazil in particular, as well as R&D will be our top two focus areas for investments. Our investments and the overall impact on the bottom line is likely front-loaded as unit economics and profitability for our businesses generally improve with scale.Forrest Li has shown that he executes when he talks. It's very rare for him to pound his chest. This time, he did that a bit, though, probably to comfort his shareholders, pointing out that Shopee has already been very successful in seven very diverse markets before. Here you see why I say that he pounds his chest because of Sea's shareholders (my bold):Of course, it'd be much easier operationally for us to just focus on the seven existing core markets for Shopee. However, we strongly believe that by investing prudently and sustainably in Shopee Lat Am and Brazil in particular,we will generate significant value for our shareholders in the long run.While we do not underestimate the challenges of any new market expansion, I would also like to highlight that we have an established track record, seven times in seven highly diverse and complex markets of Southeast Asia and Taiwan, where we started in each of those markets in 2015. We have significantly net resources, experience and the know-how and as a result, find a much more formidable competitive landscape that we currently do in our market expansion.I really like this whole quote, as it shows everything I like about Sea and Forrest Li. They don't take the easy road that would be easiest for the short term; they look at this from a long-term perspective. As a long-term investor, that's music to my ears. Li also doesn't deny that it's hard what Shopee tries, but he shows that Shopee has the experience of seven different countries. Many investors who don't live in Southeast Asia may see the region as one part of the world, but the reality is that all countries are entirely different. For example, Singapore is a wealthy city-state with one of the lowest corruption rates in the world (far better than the US and most European countries). On the other hand, Indonesia is a conglomerate of thousands of islands, which is much earlier in its development and has a ton of internal regional differences. And those are just two of the seven.Shopee sees big success in Brazil. In Q4 2021, it had 140 million orders, up 400% YoY for $70M of revenue, up 326% YoY. That means that there was just $0.50 of revenue for Shopee per order, and there was a significant loss on every order, of course. The company shared in its press release that the EBITDA loss per order improved by more than 40% YoY, to below $2.00. But that still means an EBITDA loss of $280M in just a quarter. For 2022, you can expect the same thing: improving losses, but still, substantial losses. While that may sound scary, it's part of Shopee's success formula.In just two years, Shopee Brazil managed to rank first by downloads in the shopping category and total time spent in-app and second by average monthly active users in Brazil. That's simply insane. If you see this, and you can separate yourself from your emotions about the stock price, I think you see that the potential for Sea is vast.If you look worldwide, Shopee ranked first for downloads in the shopping category both for Q4 and for FY 2021. Shopee also ranked first globally regarding total time spent in-app for shopping on Google Play. The iPhone is primarily a Western story; outside of the US and Western Europe, Google's Android dominates the market by a gigantic market share of probably 90%, so this is very important. Shopee also ranked second worldwide on Google Play when it came to average MAUs (monthly active users) in Q4 and FY 2021.Shopee is on track to go to nearly $100B in GMV in 2022. That means that whole families depend on the platform, both from the merchant and customer sides. That means that Shopee has pricing power, even if that will always be limited because of the competition. It can add several extra monetizable services for merchants (ads, more insights, gamification, etc.) and it could introduce some sort of Amazon (AMZN) Prime formula in the future, especially if you combine it with its two other current divisions.3. SeaMoneySeaMoney is crucial for Sea over the longer term. With revenue growth of 711% in 2021, the comps are of course hard, but Sea sees growth of 155% to $1.2B at the midpoint for the current year on top of that 711% growth. And if history is a guide, it will probably beat that guidance.The company even expects SeaMoney to be cashflow positive by next year, showing how quickly this can scale. Of course, there are high upfront costs, and the investments will continue, but the relatively higher gross margins and flexibility promise many good things for the future. Once the banking charters Sea has obtained in several countries start to kick in more and more, this will mean even more profitability for SeaMoney.The operating leverage also shows in the number of users. The QAUs (quarterly average users) went up 89.7%. Do you see the huge difference between user growth and revenue growth (remember 711%)? That's just the start for SeaMoney but it shows the vast potential.One of the reasons is cross-selling, just like MercadoPago has done and is continuing to do, for example, with MercadoCredito. From Sea'spress release:In Indonesia, which has the most comprehensive set of products and services among our markets, over 20% of the quarterly active users have used multiple SeaMoney products or services in the fourth quarter. We view this as a highly positive indicator of the strong efficiencies we can leverage in bringing new offerings to our large and fast-growing user base on the Shopee and SeaMoney platforms, which are both highly synergistic with one another and enjoy a strong flywheel effect in the scaling of each platform.Again, I should add that this is just the start. More and more products will be added in more and more markets. Again from the press release:We also expanded various products offerings including credit services to consumers and merchants across more markets, started offering services in digital banking and insurtech in Indonesia and obtained a bank license in the Philippines.That was new for me too. I didn't know that Sea already had a banking license in The Philippines. This is very interesting. The Philippines are another big market that is growing fast. I also didn't know that it started with insurtech in Indonesia. Sea now has banking licenses in Singapore, The Philippines and Indonesia (through the acquisition of Bank BKE) and has applied for one in Malaysia.Shopee Brazil could launch SeaMoney (usually commercialized as ShopeePay) in a few years and other Latin American countries could follow. So there is still a ton of optionality.Summary of the outlookWhile some things look frightening without context, I think you should focus on what Sea is building over the long term. It has the financial power to continue to expand its reach. Yes, Garena is now back at 2020 levels, but that's not too bad. Shopee and SeaMoney have grown so fast that they can now use their scale advantages more and more. Shopee in Southeast Asia should be EBITDA positive this year already and SeaMoney next year.Forrest Li on the conference call:As a result, we currently expect that by 2025 cash generated by Shopee and SeaMoney proactively will enable these two businesses to substantially self-fund their own long-term growth.We believe that we have the financial resources required to grow the two businesses to the inflection point without having to heavily rely on cash generated from the digital entertainment business. Of course, any additional growth from Garena will further strengthen our position.I think that this should give investors confidence. After all, Forrest Li has executed outstandingly so far; why not believe him now?OptionalityThe most important thing about Sea is that it still has so much optionality. Opportunities abound. Don't forget that the company has SAIL, which stands for Sea AI Labs. It spends a lot on R&D there. Who knows, it may come up with a version of Upstart's AI for loans? It would definitely make sense. It could give its Shopee shoppers better recommendations, making them buy more. It could offer business software for its merchants to help them to sell better on Shopee. I'm tired of the overhyped term metaverse, but with gaming, AI, shopping and an integrated payment solution, Sea seems to be fully ready when it would take off too. I'm just thinking of some obvious ideas here, but there is a lot more.There's also ShopeeFood, a food delivery service integrated into Shopee in a few markets. We probably all know that this is another very low-margin business, but if you can combine it with shopping (on Shopee) and grocery deliveries, it can be much more profitable, as Meituan has shown in China or Uber Eats shows for Uber (UBER). Just for the record, I'm not a fan of Uber's business model but if there is anything good about this company its the Uber Eats division, in my opinion.And those are just two existing divisions of Sea. The company has tried out several things in the past. It tries things out and kills them fast when they don't work. They had a sort of business communication platform at one time, a bit like Slack, but it was shut down after a few months. They launched Shopee in France, they saw it didn't work and they shut it down after just five months. That's at least as important as innovation: knowing when to stop wasting money and Sea has a good track record there as well.ValuationThis is the P/S ratio of the stock since the IPO:Data byYChartsAs you can see, the valuation based on the P/S ratio is now almost at its lowest point ever, despite the fact that Sea is a much better and bigger company now, which means less risk.Data byYChartsIf you look at Enterprise value divided by gross profit, it's even more apparent how cheap Sea has become.If you divide Enterprise Value and Gross Profit, you see that Sea trades at an EV/GP of 12.48.I recently used a few companies as examples in myTwilio valuation article. These numbers have changed a bit, so I have updated them.Made by the authorSea is expected to grow its revenue faster than all of these over the next three years. The consensus stands at 34%. I know that Sea has guided for 'just' 32% growth next year but I think this will prove to be very conservative, as Sea usually sandbags the guidance.EV/GP shows what a companycouldmake, now or in the future. For the more mature companies, that's now, which means that their growth is slower. For younger companies like Sea, growth is still higher and you should expect profitability to only kick in later, as it's still growing fast. You want them to keep investing, but of course that growth must be sustainable. A company must have the means to fund its growth. With the cash that Garena still makes, the higher emphasis on profitability for Shopee and SeaMoney and Sea's big war chest of more than $10B, I don't think this is a problem. I believe Sea is cheap here.Some might argue that the stock is still expensive because of the pandemic. But if we look at the pre-pandemic levels and compare to now, you see that the revenue and especially gross profit have gone up a lot more than the market cap.Data byYChartsHigher riskThere is risk in every investment and there is no denying that the uncertainties have grown recently for Sea:* What about Garena's slowdown? Will that continue in the future?* What about Free Fire in India?* What about Shopee in India? Could it be targeted as well?* What about Sea's relation with Tencent? Will it still be the preferred distributor of Tencent games in Southeast Asia after 2023?Despite the fact that Sea has grown into my biggest position (I started buying at $54), I shouldn't be too emotional about this and acknowledge that the risks have indeed grown recently. It will probably remain my biggest position and I will keep adding to my position, especially at these low prices, but I just can't ignore the higher risks that have emerged in the last few months. But the path of every fantastic stock ever has been paved with worries. For Sea, this is no different.ConclusionDespite a good quarter, Sea's stock price keeps slumping. It's down 75% from its recent highs now. That has made the stock cheap, in my opinion, which, of course, doesn't mean it can't go down more over the short term. I'll keep scaling in slowly over time. I still strongly believe that this company will become a giant over time.It now has as much chance, or maybe even more, to go 10x from here than when I picked it for my subscribers almost two years ago at $54. As long as it keeps executing, and these earnings again proved that, it will remain a very high conviction stock for the long term for me.In the meantime, keep growing!","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":55,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9928153498,"gmtCreate":1671228432514,"gmtModify":1676538511780,"author":{"id":"3580689210488653","authorId":"3580689210488653","name":"SilentWarrio","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c904a9b7d64fe6eb5230d2a57a74ffee","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580689210488653","authorIdStr":"3580689210488653"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Interesting","listText":"Interesting","text":"Interesting","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9928153498","repostId":"1113454322","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1113454322","pubTimestamp":1671202950,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1113454322?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-12-16 23:02","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Top Calls on Wall Street: Meta, American Airlines, Trip.com and More","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1113454322","media":"TheFly","summary":"Top 5 Upgrades:JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth upgraded Meta Platforms(META) to Overweight from Neutral","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2><b>Top 5 Upgrades:</b></h2><ul><li>JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth upgraded <b>Meta Platforms</b>(META) to Overweight from Neutral with a price target of $150, up from $115.
