I’ve experienced that countless times personally, and I think pretty much everyone who tries their hand at growing capital through the financial markets does as well. The important thing is not to fall in love with a stock and let it destroy your portfolio, and in the case of EV mothership<b>Tesla</b>(TSLA), I certainly had my fair share of practice at letting go of a failed thesis recently.</p>\n<p>Back inearly April, I said it was time to buy Tesla based upon its fairly reliable history of running higher into earnings announcements. The stock was at $691 at the time and did move higher in the next couple of weeks, but as we can see from the below, the move didn’t stick. That caused me to rethink my position in the short-term with Tesla, and now that we are four weeks out from the next earnings report, we have a different situation on our hands.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/54fd49361e0720105b3d38a4c4c88fa1\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"615\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: StockCharts</span></p>\n<p>I’ve annotated several things on the daily chart because the situation is quite interesting for Tesla during this critical period leading up to the next earnings release. The first thing I’ll note is that the accumulation/distribution line remains very strong, having never wavered from its prior levels achieved during the massive rally that took place mostly in 2020. That’s a good sign because the bulls and bears remain roughly equally matched despite a share price that has given the bulls every reason to move on.</p>\n<p>Momentum is more of a mixed picture because the PPO and 14-day RSI are both showing some signs of positive divergence, but also signs that bullish momentum is nowhere near high enough to push the stock into another rally phase. On the divergence side, momentum is gradually moving higher while the share price bounces around, indicating that the worst of the selling is likely done, but that we’re in a digestion period. The 14-day RSI hasn’t yet crested the centerline in earnest, which again means that bullish momentum is fairly weak.</p>\n<p>Overall, I’d say momentum is showing what you might expect at this stage, which is that the selling pressure has abated, but we’re not in rally mode. Yet.</p>\n<p>Finally, the elephant in the room is the descending triangle I noted above, and I’ve added some extra bars at the end of the chart to show what the resolution of the triangle might look like. We can see at the current slope of the line that the triangle will likely resolve near the end of July, which just so happens to coincide with the earnings release. This is a bearish pattern so I don’t want to make everything seem like sunshine and lollipops, but the rest of the chart is mixed, so we’ll have to wait and see.</p>\n<p>The earnings report, in my view, is going to be the catalyst one way or the other for the breakout from the triangle. Which direction it will go is anyone’s guess, but I’d be ready for a wild reaction to the earnings release in July.</p>\n<p>If we look at a weekly chart, I see a much rosier picture.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ef4525c330221c7768acc84c336cd8ef\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"615\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: StockCharts</span></p>\n<p>We can see that the stock ran up massively in 2020 and took with it the accumulation/distribution line, as well as the momentum indicators, as you’d expect. But since the selling began, we see signs that the stock has simply worked off its overbought conditions, which looks bullish to me.</p>\n<p>The 50-week moving average has served as support during this consolidation phase, and it currently stands at $575, so I’d watch that level if we see more selling. On the plus side, the accumulation/distribution line looks beautiful and again, is supportive of this selling being a digestion period rather than the end of the bull market for Tesla.</p>\n<p>Momentum would seem to support that as well, as the PPO and 14-week RSI are back at centerline support. What happens after this is critical, obviously, but the weekly chart doesn’t show Tesla as breaking down on a longer-term basis. The negative divergences we saw since 2020 began have given way to momentum resetting, which often happens before a new bull phase begins. With the earnings report looming in July, and the daily and weekly charts showing different pictures (at least to my eye), it’s going to be an interesting next four weeks for sure.</p>\n<p><b>Fundamentals still bullish</b></p>\n<p>I’d sum up the chart as having a short-term set of challenges for the bulls, but longer-term, I still see Tesla going higher. On a fundamental basis, I think the conclusion is decidedly more bullish. Let’s start with revenue revisions, which have been nothing short of terrific.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7297a6360a43284ab70d4caf12d206f3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"282\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>All years are showing uptrends in revenue revisions, and in particular, the out years. Let us not forget that these positive revisions are occurring during a time when countless startups and internal combustion engine OGs like GM (GM), Ford (F) and Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY) are investing tens of billions of dollars to take market share in EVs. None of this is new and it isn’t like the analyst community is surprised by these investments; Tesla is simply on a tremendous upward trajectory when it comes to growing revenue.</p>\n<p>Canaccordpointed out last week that the Model S Plaid Plus delay was likely due to the 4680 cell design not being ready for prime time. That very well could be the case, and it wouldn’t be the first time Tesla disappointed with a time frame it gave investors. Remember therobo-taxi claim?</p>\n<p>At any rate, the company’s lineup continues to resonate with customers and now that capacity constraints should lessen greatly over the coming years – new factories in a few parts of the world will help – the path of least resistance for Tesla is no doubt higher. This will only get better as Tesla can decrease the per-unit cost of things like the batteries so it can better compete with mainstream automakers on price, and become a mainstream automaker rather than a niche manufacturer for the well-heeled.</p>\n<p>Another thing scale is affording Tesla is monumental progress with profit margins. Below we have trailing-twelve-months gross margins, SG&amp;A costs, and EBIT margin as a percentage of revenue.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f9effb44d7bda8f3bdb535e80dd1ac0f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"168\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>All three of these lines are moving in the right direction. Gross margins have been rising thanks to higher sales and production volumes, a trend that should continue so long as sales remain robust. In addition, Tesla is spending much less on an SG&amp;A basis than it used to, which again, is the product of higher sales volume. SG&amp;A used to be in the mid-20% range of revenue, which is unsustainable. Today, it’s only 10%, which means operating margins have gone quite positive, and with room to run in the future.</p>\n<p>Margins have always been an easy thing for the bears to point to, but that is simply no longer the case, and if you have a long holding period, the margin situation is going to work out in the bulls’ favor.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6401d5cd793a93d0ed6d36f911abdb15\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"283\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>This is all pointing to ever-higher EPS estimates, as we can see above. Analysts continue to try and keep up with Tesla’s upward trajectory, and so long as sales volumes and margins continue their march higher, so will these lines. Again, this is a feather in the cap of the bulls.</p>\n<p><b>Other considerations</b></p>\n<p>Tesla is not for the faint of heart, because it is volatile and we are at a point in the history of the automobile that an EV gold rush of sorts is occurring. Everyone is investing to win once the internal combustion engine is gone, but Tesla has a massive head start on the competition.</p>\n<p>Even so, there are risks to consider. First, Tesla could lose its technology lead over time as legacy manufacturers throw tens of billions of dollars at R&amp;D on battery technology. Tesla is far and away the superior battery maker today, but that does not guarantee it stays that way. To be clear, I don’t see that as a viable outcome in the near-term, but ten years from now? Twenty? It's a risk.</p>\n<p>Another risk is that Tesla uses its stock as a piggy bank, issuing shares to fund R&amp;D, factory construction, and the like.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8f44f661051d87ad3f2906cabe5479d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"165\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>The share count has nearly doubled in the past decade, which is pretty ugly from a shareholders’ perspective, as we usually only see this kind of dilution with REITs or BDCs that issue equity capital as a normal course of business. Manufacturing stocks don’t generally do anything like this, but Tesla has made it work. Still, you have to imagine it is possible that over a decade holding period, you’ll be diluted out of half of your ownership in the company. This also creates an uphill battle for EPS as earnings are spread over more and more shares, so I want to be clear this is an unequivocal negative for shareholders. However, let me now point you to what could possibly be the saving grace for this perma-dilution; free cash flow.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0569f35589cc0f82bb006148271df19b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"170\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>Tesla’s trailing-twelve-months FCF has improved immensely in recent years, as the company is producing massive amounts of operating cash flow that it never did before, which is owed once again to sales volume and margin growth. Tesla has surpassed the point where it needs to constantly issue capital just to survive because it is creating its own through its operations. This is massively important for the bull case because it means the dilution we’ve seen in recent years<i>shouldn’t</i>be necessary any longer.</p>\n<p>Indeed, if we look at net debt, we can see just how much Tesla’s balance sheet has improved, which again supports not having to dilute shareholders to stay afloat.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/49fa413fc33c85d7269e987b2c11c888\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>Net debt has turned into a net cash position of late, with Tesla having nearly $5 billion in cash and equivalents more than debt. Tesla’s financing situation has improved enormously, and that’s good for those of us that are bullish.</p>\n<p><b>Is it cheap?</b></p>\n<p>Not really. But then again revolutionary companies rarely are. The good news is that the price-to-sales ratio has halved since the peak earlier this year, but at 11x forward revenue, I cannot in good conscience call it cheap.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ca2d9f38636872d9d508e096e9ac8af8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"189\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>However, it is a lot cheaper than it was, and withrevenueslated to rise by more than half this year, and then<i>double</i>again by 2024, you don’t need the multiple to rise for a bullish outlook.</p>\n<p>I’ll reiterate that there are risks to Tesla. The daily chart is leaning slightly bearish with that descending triangle, but we’re heading into the pre-earnings run-up that Tesla<i>usually</i>shines during. The weekly chart is showing signs of digestion rather than rolling over. There are competitive risks that aren’t new and will never go way, but the company is still building great EVs that are resonating with customers. Margins and FCF are booming comparatively speaking, and the stock is at roughly half the valuation it was a few months ago.</p>\n<p>All in all, Tesla almost certainly has a rocky road in front of it, but I’m still bullish given the weight of the evidence.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Tesla: A Lesson In Humility</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\">\nTesla: A Lesson In Humility\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-24 11:43 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4436295-tesla-a-lesson-in-humility><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nTesla shares have pulled well back in a months-long period of weakness.\nWith earnings coming up, there looks to be a showdown of bulls and bears on the near-term horizon.\nI see Tesla's ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4436295-tesla-a-lesson-in-humility\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4436295-tesla-a-lesson-in-humility","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1176854050","content_text":"Summary\n\nTesla shares have pulled well back in a months-long period of weakness.\nWith earnings coming up, there looks to be a showdown of bulls and bears on the near-term horizon.\nI see Tesla's fundamentals - and valuation - as having improved massively in recent months, and I'm therefore still quite bullish.\n\nAdrianHancu/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nSometimes in investing, our thesis, no matter how much we believe in it, doesn’t work.

The 14-day RSI hasn’t yet crested the centerline in earnest, which again means that bullish momentum is fairly weak.\nOverall, I’d say momentum is showing what you might expect at this stage, which is that the selling pressure has abated, but we’re not in rally mode. Yet.\nFinally, the elephant in the room is the descending triangle I noted above, and I’ve added some extra bars at the end of the chart to show what the resolution of the triangle might look like. We can see at the current slope of the line that the triangle will likely resolve near the end of July, which just so happens to coincide with the earnings release. This is a bearish pattern so I don’t want to make everything seem like sunshine and lollipops, but the rest of the chart is mixed, so we’ll have to wait and see.\nThe earnings report, in my view, is going to be the catalyst one way or the other for the breakout from the triangle. Which direction it will go is anyone’s guess, but I’d be ready for a wild reaction to the earnings release in July.\nIf we look at a weekly chart, I see a much rosier picture.\nSource: StockCharts\nWe can see that the stock ran up massively in 2020 and took with it the accumulation/distribution line, as well as the momentum indicators, as you’d expect. But since the selling began, we see signs that the stock has simply worked off its overbought conditions, which looks bullish to me.\nThe 50-week moving average has served as support during this consolidation phase, and it currently stands at $575, so I’d watch that level if we see more selling. On the plus side, the accumulation/distribution line looks beautiful and again, is supportive of this selling being a digestion period rather than the end of the bull market for Tesla.\nMomentum would seem to support that as well, as the PPO and 14-week RSI are back at centerline support. What happens after this is critical, obviously, but the weekly chart doesn’t show Tesla as breaking down on a longer-term basis. The negative divergences we saw since 2020 began have given way to momentum resetting, which often happens before a new bull phase begins. With the earnings report looming in July, and the daily and weekly charts showing different pictures (at least to my eye), it’s going to be an interesting next four weeks for sure.\nFundamentals still bullish\nI’d sum up the chart as having a short-term set of challenges for the bulls, but longer-term, I still see Tesla going higher. On a fundamental basis, I think the conclusion is decidedly more bullish. Let’s start with revenue revisions, which have been nothing short of terrific.\nSource:Seeking Alpha\nAll years are showing uptrends in revenue revisions, and in particular, the out years. Let us not forget that these positive revisions are occurring during a time when countless startups and internal combustion engine OGs like GM (GM), Ford (F) and Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY) are investing tens of billions of dollars to take market share in EVs. None of this is new and it isn’t like the analyst community is surprised by these investments; Tesla is simply on a tremendous upward trajectory when it comes to growing revenue.\nCanaccordpointed out last week that the Model S Plaid Plus delay was likely due to the 4680 cell design not being ready for prime time. That very well could be the case, and it wouldn’t be the first time Tesla disappointed with a time frame it gave investors. Remember therobo-taxi claim?\nAt any rate, the company’s lineup continues to resonate with customers and now that capacity constraints should lessen greatly over the coming years – new factories in a few parts of the world will help – the path of least resistance for Tesla is no doubt higher. This will only get better as Tesla can decrease the per-unit cost of things like the batteries so it can better compete with mainstream automakers on price, and become a mainstream automaker rather than a niche manufacturer for the well-heeled.\nAnother thing scale is affording Tesla is monumental progress with profit margins. Below we have trailing-twelve-months gross margins, SG&A costs, and EBIT margin as a percentage of revenue.\nSource: TIKR.com\nAll three of these lines are moving in the right direction. Gross margins have been rising thanks to higher sales and production volumes, a trend that should continue so long as sales remain robust. In addition, Tesla is spending much less on an SG&A basis than it used to, which again, is the product of higher sales volume. SG&A used to be in the mid-20% range of revenue, which is unsustainable. Today, it’s only 10%, which means operating margins have gone quite positive, and with room to run in the future.\nMargins have always been an easy thing for the bears to point to, but that is simply no longer the case, and if you have a long holding period, the margin situation is going to work out in the bulls’ favor.\nSource:Seeking Alpha\nThis is all pointing to ever-higher EPS estimates, as we can see above. Analysts continue to try and keep up with Tesla’s upward trajectory, and so long as sales volumes and margins continue their march higher, so will these lines. Again, this is a feather in the cap of the bulls.\nOther considerations\nTesla is not for the faint of heart, because it is volatile and we are at a point in the history of the automobile that an EV gold rush of sorts is occurring. Everyone is investing to win once the internal combustion engine is gone, but Tesla has a massive head start on the competition.\nEven so, there are risks to consider. First, Tesla could lose its technology lead over time as legacy manufacturers throw tens of billions of dollars at R&D on battery technology. Tesla is far and away the superior battery maker today, but that does not guarantee it stays that way. To be clear, I don’t see that as a viable outcome in the near-term, but ten years from now? Twenty? It's a risk.\nAnother risk is that Tesla uses its stock as a piggy bank, issuing shares to fund R&D, factory construction, and the like.\nSource: TIKR.com\nThe share count has nearly doubled in the past decade, which is pretty ugly from a shareholders’ perspective, as we usually only see this kind of dilution with REITs or BDCs that issue equity capital as a normal course of business. Manufacturing stocks don’t generally do anything like this, but Tesla has made it work. Still, you have to imagine it is possible that over a decade holding period, you’ll be diluted out of half of your ownership in the company. This also creates an uphill battle for EPS as earnings are spread over more and more shares, so I want to be clear this is an unequivocal negative for shareholders. However, let me now point you to what could possibly be the saving grace for this perma-dilution; free cash flow.\nSource: TIKR.com\nTesla’s trailing-twelve-months FCF has improved immensely in recent years, as the company is producing massive amounts of operating cash flow that it never did before, which is owed once again to sales volume and margin growth. Tesla has surpassed the point where it needs to constantly issue capital just to survive because it is creating its own through its operations. This is massively important for the bull case because it means the dilution we’ve seen in recent yearsshouldn’tbe necessary any longer.\nIndeed, if we look at net debt, we can see just how much Tesla’s balance sheet has improved, which again supports not having to dilute shareholders to stay afloat.\nSource: TIKR.com\nNet debt has turned into a net cash position of late, with Tesla having nearly $5 billion in cash and equivalents more than debt. Tesla’s financing situation has improved enormously, and that’s good for those of us that are bullish.\nIs it cheap?\nNot really. But then again revolutionary companies rarely are. The good news is that the price-to-sales ratio has halved since the peak earlier this year, but at 11x forward revenue, I cannot in good conscience call it cheap.\nSource: TIKR.com\nHowever, it is a lot cheaper than it was, and withrevenueslated to rise by more than half this year, and thendoubleagain by 2024, you don’t need the multiple to rise for a bullish outlook.\nI’ll reiterate that there are risks to Tesla. The daily chart is leaning slightly bearish with that descending triangle, but we’re heading into the pre-earnings run-up that Teslausuallyshines during. The weekly chart is showing signs of digestion rather than rolling over. There are competitive risks that aren’t new and will never go way, but the company is still building great EVs that are resonating with customers. Margins and FCF are booming comparatively speaking, and the stock is at roughly half the valuation it was a few months ago.\nAll in all, Tesla almost certainly has a rocky road in front of it, but I’m still bullish given the weight of the evidence.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":316,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169865754,"gmtCreate":1623828424578,"gmtModify":1703820693316,"author":{"id":"3581152527558672","authorId":"3581152527558672","name":"0421catcat","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581152527558672","authorIdStr":"3581152527558672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ya, that’s true","listText":"Ya, that’s true","text":"Ya, that’s true","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/169865754","repostId":"2143897767","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":474,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":185982485,"gmtCreate":1623630630947,"gmtModify":1704207210512,"author":{"id":"3581152527558672","authorId":"3581152527558672","name":"0421catcat","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581152527558672","authorIdStr":"3581152527558672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/185982485","repostId":"2143785764","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":417,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":185981729,"gmtCreate":1623630563761,"gmtModify":1704207206764,"author":{"id":"3581152527558672","authorId":"3581152527558672","name":"0421catcat","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581152527558672","authorIdStr":"3581152527558672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good news","listText":"Good news","text":"Good news","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/185981729","repostId":"2142209295","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2142209295","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1623627240,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2142209295?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-14 07:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Amazon raises minimum pay in Germany to 12 euros per hour","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2142209295","media":"Reuters","summary":"FRANKFURT, June 11 (Reuters) - Amazon will guarantee an entry-level wage at its German warehouses of","content":"<p>FRANKFURT, June 11 (Reuters) - Amazon will guarantee an entry-level wage at its German warehouses of 12 euros ($15) an hour, the company said on Friday in the face of a long-running battle with a top labour union.</p>\n<p>Germany is Amazon's biggest market after the United States, and the Verdi union has been organising strikes at Amazon in the country since 2013 to protest low pay and poor conditions.</p>\n<p>The pay increase is effective from July and compares with entry-level pay as low as 11.30 euros per hour for some locations, though pay exceeded 12 euros in other locations.</p>\n<p>Amazon's wages exceed Germany's current minimum wage of 9.50 euros per hour.

Both stepped down from One's board last month, DealStreetAsia and The Business Times reported earlier.The sports media company is the the Singapore-registered entity of mixed martial arts promoter One Championship.In a statement on Monday (June 7), Mr Teh said: \"As part of our plans for a public listing, we are taking a number of technical steps to ensure that we have the right governance structure in place for various jurisdictions, including the United States.\"Temasek and Heliconia Capital remain fully engaged and supportive with the firm's strategic direction, he added.The state investor is among Group One Holdings' backers, which include sovereign wealth fund GIC and venture capital firms Sequoia Capital and Iconiq Capital.In its statement, Group One Holdings said that it has appointed Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse as its financial advisors for a potential listing, and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP as legal advisor.Mr Lau joined the board in September 2016 after Heliconia's investment, while Mr Fock was appointed in July 2020.In February, Bloomberg reported that One Championship was considering listing in the US via a special purpose acquisition company. An investor told BT that its revenue-generating potential is not yet evident, and it will have to be \"an extraordinary process to get to the public markets\".Last June, the firm announced that it raised US$70 million (S$92 million) in its latest funding round. At the same time, it cut 20 per cent of its total headcount globally, as part of moves to streamline operations. One has been hard hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, with events put on hold for much of last year until its pilot event last October.It recently postponed the One: Empower event, which was scheduled for May 28 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium due to the Covid-19 situation.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":262,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":130787529,"gmtCreate":1621566576261,"gmtModify":1704359794807,"author":{"id":"3581152527558672","authorId":"3581152527558672","name":"0421catcat","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581152527558672","authorIdStr":"3581152527558672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"good advice","listText":"good advice","text":"good advice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/130787529","repostId":"1198672107","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1198672107","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1621564624,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1198672107?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-21 10:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The Top 7 Ways to Invest In Semiconductors Now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1198672107","media":"investorplace","summary":"The most valuable and in-demand product on the planet right now isn’t an EV, smartphone or game cons","content":"<p>The most valuable and in-demand product on the planet right now isn’t an EV, smartphone or game console. It’s&nbsp; semiconductors — a key component found in<i>all</i>of these devices and every other high-tech product on the market. A global shortage of semiconductors is having a huge ripple effect. Car manufacturers areidling plantsbecause they can’t get the chips they need.Smartphone releases have been delayed. The price of TVs isgoing up by as much as 30%.</p><p>This demand isn’t going anywhere. If anything the demand for semiconductors is only going to increase. That makes the companies involved in the production of semiconductors a very smart investment for a growth-focused portfolio.</p><p>As such, I’ve put together a list seven semiconductor stocks that would make great choices:</p><ul><li><b>Applied Materials, Inc</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>AMAT</u></b>)</li><li><b>Corning Incorporated</b>(NYSE:<b><u>GLW</u></b>)</li><li><b>Lam Research Corporation</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>LRCX</u></b>)</li><li><b>Micron Technology, Inc.</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>MU</u></b>)</li><li><b>NVIDIA Corporation</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>NVDA</u></b>)</li><li><b>Taiwan Semiconductor</b>Mfg. Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<b><u>TSM</u></b>)</li><li><b>United Microelectronics Corp</b>(NYSE:<b><u>UMC</u></b>)</li></ul><p>The obvious choices — semiconductor fabricators — are well-represented on this list. But it pays to cast a wider net. I’ve also included less obvious choices that many investors make the mistake of overlooking, including companies that supply raw materials or provide the technology required to make those “silicon gold” semiconductors.</p><p>Key Investments In Semiconductors: Applied Materials (AMAT)</p><p>California-based Applied Materials describes itself as “the leader in materials engineering solutions used to produce virtually every new chip and advanced display in the world.”</p><p>That’s a big claim, but Applied Materials isn’t just idly boasting. The company supplies material engineering solutions that manufacturers of semiconductors use in the design, product development and fabrication of chips. In itsfirst quarter 2021 results, Applied Materials showed just how much it is benefiting from the scramble to ramp up chip production and yields. It set a record with quarterly revenue of $5.16 billion, up 24% year-over-year. The company projected it will “substantially outgrow our markets again in 2021 and beyond.”</p><p>After 8 years of stagnation, AMAT stock caught fire in mid-2020, as the global shortage of semiconductors began to take hold. It has now posted growth of 122% over the past 12 months.</p><p>AMAT stock current holds a ‘B’ rating in<i>Portfolio Grader</i>.</p><p>Corning (GLW)</p><p>Corning is an American company that significantly predates the computer and semiconductor industries. But the glass-maker became a high-tech company through the introduction of optical fiber and the Gorilla Glass that protects many smartphone, tablet and laptop displays.</p><p>You may not have realized it, but Corning also holds a critical role in the manufacture of semiconductors. Corning supplies ultra-pure materials for the fabrication process, including fused silica. Its optical materials and lenses are used in the photolithography process used in the manufacture of semiconductor wafers. Advances like Corning’s EUV (extreme ultraviolet lithography) are helping make smaller and more complex chips possible.</p><p>Corning makes a great addition to a portfolio. It’s a way to invest in the semiconductor rush, but Corning is also an integral part of many growing high-tech trends, including putting displays in devices and deploying high-speed broadband using fiber optics.</p><p>GLW stock is a proven performer, and has delivered growth of 123% over the past 5 years.</p><p>At the time of publication, the<i>Portfolio Grader</i>rating for GLW stock was ‘B.’</p><p>Key Investments In Semiconductors: Lam Research (LRCX)</p><p>Described as a “fundamental enabler” of the global semiconductor industry, Lam Research is focused on the production — or fabrication — of chips. Lam doesn’t design or fabric chips itself. Instead, the company supplies the highly specialized equipment needed to fabricate chips. Higher demand for chips, and fabricators investing in new plants means increased demand for Lam’s services.</p><p>When Lam Research announced a record quarter in March, thecompany’s CEO told investors: “Semiconductors are reaching new heights of strategic relevance, and Lam’s differentiated ability to meet our customers’ scaling challenges positions us well amid a strong wafer fabrication spending environment.”</p><p>While growth has steepened over the past year, LRCX was already on a firm growth trajectory. Over the past 5 years, it has rewarded investors with returns of 690%.</p><p>LRCX stock currently has a total grade of ‘B’ in<i>Portfolio Grader</i>.</p><p>Micron (MU)</p><p>Micron is a leading producer of key components used in high tech products such as RAM and Flash NAND memory. The company’s chips are found in smart phones, games consoles, PCs, graphics cards, thumb drives, servers, TVs, smart watches, automobiles and others. In other words, just about anything you’d care to own.</p><p>Micron manufactures its memory chips in its ownfabrication plants. This gives the company an advantage over the many fab-less companies that are forced to contract out the production of their semiconductors to third parties. Those companies are waiting in a growing lineup as demand far exceeds production capacity.</p><p>An investment in MU stock 5 years ago would net a return of 640%. With demand for Micron’s products going nowhere but up, expect that impressive growth trajectory to continue.</p><p>The current<i>Portfolio Grader</i>rating for MU stock is ‘B.’</p><p>Key Investments In Semiconductors: Nvidia (NVDA)</p><p>Nvidia is one of the most recognized names in the computer chip market. The company is a GPU and graphics card powerhouse. Nvidia chips power game consoles, gaming PCs, artificial intelligence, autonomous driving systems and crypto currency mining rigs. This prominent position has helped drive NVDA stock to gains of 1,210% over the past 5 years. That’s a number that would be much higher if not for the dip that’s knocked 12% off NVDA share value since mid-April.</p><p>As I mentioned in a post several days ago, Nvidia ismaking big moves outside of graphics processors. In April, the company announced Grace, its first foray into data center CPUs.

It’s  semiconductors — a key component found inallof these devices and every other high-tech product on the market. A global shortage of semiconductors is having a huge ripple effect. Car manufacturers areidling plantsbecause they can’t get the chips they need.Smartphone releases have been delayed. The price of TVs isgoing up by as much as 30%.This demand isn’t going anywhere. If anything the demand for semiconductors is only going to increase. That makes the companies involved in the production of semiconductors a very smart investment for a growth-focused portfolio.As such, I’ve put together a list seven semiconductor stocks that would make great choices:Applied Materials, Inc(NASDAQ:AMAT)Corning Incorporated(NYSE:GLW)Lam Research Corporation(NASDAQ:LRCX)Micron Technology, Inc.(NASDAQ:MU)NVIDIA Corporation(NASDAQ:NVDA)Taiwan SemiconductorMfg. Co. Ltd. (NYSE:TSM)United Microelectronics Corp(NYSE:UMC)The obvious choices — semiconductor fabricators — are well-represented on this list. But it pays to cast a wider net. I’ve also included less obvious choices that many investors make the mistake of overlooking, including companies that supply raw materials or provide the technology required to make those “silicon gold” semiconductors.Key Investments In Semiconductors: Applied Materials (AMAT)California-based Applied Materials describes itself as “the leader in materials engineering solutions used to produce virtually every new chip and advanced display in the world.”That’s a big claim, but Applied Materials isn’t just idly boasting. The company supplies material engineering solutions that manufacturers of semiconductors use in the design, product development and fabrication of chips. In itsfirst quarter 2021 results, Applied Materials showed just how much it is benefiting from the scramble to ramp up chip production and yields. It set a record with quarterly revenue of $5.16 billion, up 24% year-over-year. The company projected it will “substantially outgrow our markets again in 2021 and beyond.”After 8 years of stagnation, AMAT stock caught fire in mid-2020, as the global shortage of semiconductors began to take hold. It has now posted growth of 122% over the past 12 months.AMAT stock current holds a ‘B’ rating inPortfolio Grader.Corning (GLW)Corning is an American company that significantly predates the computer and semiconductor industries. But the glass-maker became a high-tech company through the introduction of optical fiber and the Gorilla Glass that protects many smartphone, tablet and laptop displays.You may not have realized it, but Corning also holds a critical role in the manufacture of semiconductors. Corning supplies ultra-pure materials for the fabrication process, including fused silica. Its optical materials and lenses are used in the photolithography process used in the manufacture of semiconductor wafers. Advances like Corning’s EUV (extreme ultraviolet lithography) are helping make smaller and more complex chips possible.Corning makes a great addition to a portfolio. It’s a way to invest in the semiconductor rush, but Corning is also an integral part of many growing high-tech trends, including putting displays in devices and deploying high-speed broadband using fiber optics.GLW stock is a proven performer, and has delivered growth of 123% over the past 5 years.At the time of publication, thePortfolio Graderrating for GLW stock was ‘B.’Key Investments In Semiconductors: Lam Research (LRCX)Described as a “fundamental enabler” of the global semiconductor industry, Lam Research is focused on the production — or fabrication — of chips. Lam doesn’t design or fabric chips itself. Instead, the company supplies the highly specialized equipment needed to fabricate chips. Higher demand for chips, and fabricators investing in new plants means increased demand for Lam’s services.When Lam Research announced a record quarter in March, thecompany’s CEO told investors: “Semiconductors are reaching new heights of strategic relevance, and Lam’s differentiated ability to meet our customers’ scaling challenges positions us well amid a strong wafer fabrication spending environment.”While growth has steepened over the past year, LRCX was already on a firm growth trajectory. Over the past 5 years, it has rewarded investors with returns of 690%.LRCX stock currently has a total grade of ‘B’ inPortfolio Grader.Micron (MU)Micron is a leading producer of key components used in high tech products such as RAM and Flash NAND memory. The company’s chips are found in smart phones, games consoles, PCs, graphics cards, thumb drives, servers, TVs, smart watches, automobiles and others. In other words, just about anything you’d care to own.Micron manufactures its memory chips in its ownfabrication plants. This gives the company an advantage over the many fab-less companies that are forced to contract out the production of their semiconductors to third parties. Those companies are waiting in a growing lineup as demand far exceeds production capacity.An investment in MU stock 5 years ago would net a return of 640%. With demand for Micron’s products going nowhere but up, expect that impressive growth trajectory to continue.The currentPortfolio Graderrating for MU stock is ‘B.’Key Investments In Semiconductors: Nvidia (NVDA)Nvidia is one of the most recognized names in the computer chip market. The company is a GPU and graphics card powerhouse. Nvidia chips power game consoles, gaming PCs, artificial intelligence, autonomous driving systems and crypto currency mining rigs. This prominent position has helped drive NVDA stock to gains of 1,210% over the past 5 years. That’s a number that would be much higher if not for the dip that’s knocked 12% off NVDA share value since mid-April.As I mentioned in a post several days ago, Nvidia ismaking big moves outside of graphics processors. In April, the company announced Grace, its first foray into data center CPUs. Expanding from GPUs into computer CPUs has the potential to shake up the data center server market — and significantly boost Nvidia’s data center revenue, which was already worth $1.9 billion in the last quarter. Nvidia is also in the middle of an attempted acquisition ofArm. The U.K.-based designer of custom semiconductors counts the world’s largest technology customers among its customers.With aPortfolio Gradertotal rating of ‘B,’ NVDA stock is well worth considering for your portfolio.TSMC (TSM)Taiwan Semiconductor — better known as TSMC — is ground zero for the global semiconductor industry. It’s the world’s largest contract chipmaker. The company operates vast fabrication plants where itproduces 10,761 products for 499 different customers. That puts a spotlight on TSM stock as the poster child for semiconductor stocks.In April, the company reported its Q1 earnings. The effect of the unprecedented surge in demand for semiconductors was evident in TSMC’s quarterly profit, which beat market estimates with a19% YoY increase. TSMC sees no end in sight to the demand for semiconductors. In response, it recently announced planned expenditures of $100 billion over the next 3 yearsto increase its chip fabrication capacity.TSM stock has delivered a return of 370% over the past 5 years. This is an investment that has long-term growth opportunity written all over it.Stock ratings don’t get much better than TSM’s ‘A’ rating inPortfolio Grader.Key Investments In Semiconductors: United Microelectronics (UMC)Finally, another Taiwanese contract chip manufacturer that makes semiconductors under contract for well-known consumer electronics giants. United Microelectronics has seen demand for chips continue to outstrip production capacity at its fabrication facilities, despite running them at full capacity.As a result — like TSMC — United Microelectronics is investing in additional capacity. The company announcedit will spend $3.59 billion over the next three yearsto do so.

Over the past 12 months it has posted a gain of 244%. With a seemingly never-ending demand for custom chips, it’s likely to be settling into a period of long-term growth.UMC stock is on solid footing and well-positioned for ongoing growth, an evaluation reflected in its ‘A’ rating inPortfolio Grader.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":400,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3572249185724220","authorId":"3572249185724220","name":"xoxoll","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ed65c2962af2a6fbd414f4d6fe9e378","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3572249185724220","authorIdStr":"3572249185724220"},"content":"Help me to comment and like","text":"Help me to comment and like","html":"Help me to comment and like"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":130018858,"gmtCreate":1621494570574,"gmtModify":1704358539564,"author":{"id":"3581152527558672","authorId":"3581152527558672","name":"0421catcat","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581152527558672","authorIdStr":"3581152527558672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good ?","listText":"Good ?","text":"Good ?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/130018858","repostId":"1176216380","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1176216380","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1621494314,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1176216380?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-20 15:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Datadog: The Price Is Still Eye-Popping","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1176216380","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nRelative to other software stocks, Datadog is doing relatively better, losing \"only\" 8% of ","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Relative to other software stocks, Datadog is doing relatively better, losing \"only\" 8% of its value year-to-date.</li>\n <li>Enthusiasm for the company has picked up in May after a strong beat-and-raise in Q1.</li>\n <li>In spite of the company's raised guidance, however, the fact remains that Datadog is set to decelerate as its scale increases.</li>\n <li>Datadog remains one of the stocks that I view having valuation vulnerability, as it trades just shy of 30x forward revenue.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/92c2e696d4487e387adc13341479d221\" tg-width=\"672\" tg-height=\"257\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Photo by Thinkhubstudio/iStock via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>The tech correction over the past several months has sent a very clear message to investors: high valuations are no longer going to be as easily tolerated, and hyper-growth isn't enough to sustain a stock rally anymore. While the list of tech stocks that crashed ~50% or more from all-time highs is long (Palantir (PLTR), Sumo Logic (SUMO), Snowflake (SNOW), Fastly (FSLY) - the list goes on and on, but these are some of the more notable recent drops), some like Datadog (DDOG) have been able to retain investors' goodwill.</p>\n<p>Year to date, shares of Datadog are down \"only\" 8%, and down just shy of 30% relative to all-time highs near $120. Valuation concerns have rocked Datadog at the top, but recently in May after a superb Q1 earnings beat-and-raise, Datadog has started rebounding again.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7d26260409710c75b15f5ee009ef4653\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"403\"><span>Data byYCharts</span></p>\n<p>Now, investors should be asking themselves: will Datadog make a full recovery to $120, or will it continue to trade choppily? While the jagged line patterns in Datadog's recent stock charts make for excellent short-term trading opportunities,<b>my outlook on Datadog remains a cautious one.</b></p>\n<p>First, I'll share the relevant good news: Datadog has dramatically boosted its outlook for 2021, after a strong earnings topper in Q1. Now, the company is guiding to $880-$890 million in revenue, representing a 46-47% y/y growth pace. This is substantially higher than the company's original FY21 outlook of $825-$835 million, which would have represented roughly ten points weaker growth (37-38% y/y).</p>\n<p>Figure 1. Datadog FY21 outlook</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/03fca87e16aa693e150fc1beda9b44c4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"209\"><span>Source: Datadog Q1 earnings release</span></p>\n<p>I'd expect as we move throughout the year for Datadog to gradually tweak this forecast upward, though considering the company saw 51% y/y growth in Q1 and it didn't really have substantially easier comps during the pandemic period last year, there's likely not too much additional opportunity on top of the existing outlook.</p>\n<p>My concern, however, is that this strength is already baked into Datadog's current valuation. At current share prices near $84, Datadog trades at a market cap of $26.17 billion. After we net off the $1.55 billion of cash and $0.73 billion of debt on Datadog's most recent balance sheet, the company's resulting&nbsp;<b>enterprise value is $25.35 billion.</b></p>\n<p>Versus the $885 million midpoint of Datadog's new revenue guidance range for the year, the stock is at a whopping&nbsp;<b>28.6x EV/FY21 revenue multiple.</b>That instantly puts Datadog in the highest echelon of software company valuations, surpassed only by a few other names (Snowflake (SNOW) ~55x forward revenue, Zscaler(NASDAQ:ZS)at ~34x forward revenue). We note as well that another Datadog peer with a similar growth profile, Palantir (PLTR), also grew at a 49% y/y pace (only two points slower than Datadog in Q1). Palantir is already expensive, but it's three turns cheaper than Datadog at ~25x forward revenue.</p>\n<p><b>The net of it:</b>while I agree that Datadog is a fantastic, fast-growing software company, I view valuation as its biggest vulnerability. And while Datadog is a best-in-breed vendor that consistently wins recognition from Gartner (the leading software industry reviewer), there are also plenty of older \"legacy\" companies that are making huge efforts to catch up and reassert their dominance in the monitoring/log space (Splunk (SPLK), New Relic (NEWR) fall into this bucket). My approach on Datadog is to remain on the sidelines until we get a more meaningful price decline.</p>\n<p><b>Q1 download</b></p>\n<p>Let's now cover Datadog's latest first-quarter results in greater detail. The Q1 earnings summary is shown below:</p>\n<p>Figure 2. Datadog Q1 results</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2e704a9a5bed4a79b57590782f8ca956\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"517\"><span>Source: Datadog Q1 earnings release</span></p>\n<p>Datadog's revenue grew at a 51% y/y pace to $198.5 million in the quarter, beating Wall Street's expectations of $186.6 million (+42% y/y) by a nine-point margin. At this point, investors should have already been accustomed to the fact that Datadog likes to set its early bar very low so it can produce the \"beat and raise\" that it did this quarter. We note, however, that Datadog's revenue did decelerate five points from 56% y/y growth in Q4; and if we are to believe the company's new guidance range for 46-47% y/y growth for the full year, growth will continue to decelerate throughout the remainder of this year.</p>\n<p>One tailwind that has been on Datadog's side is that it prices its products primarily on a usage basis. For its core log management products, for example, Datadog's base pricing starts at $0.10 per GB of data scanned. This means that over time, Datadog's customer base will ramp up their usage of the platform and increase their spend. The amount of Datadog customers spending more than &gt;$100k in ARR on the platform has increased to 1,437 customers, up 50% from 960 in the year-ago quarter. This is a testament to the success of Datadog's land-and-expand strategy.</p>\n<p>Here's some additional qualitative context from CEO Olivier Pomel's prepared remarks on the&nbsp;Q1 earnings call&nbsp;around Datadog's recent go-to-market and customer trends:</p>\n<blockquote>\n First, usage growth from existing customers was stronger than expected and above historical levels. Among other factors, we are seeing the benefit of new logos signed in the back half of last year as they grow into their commitment.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Second, new logo ARR was strong in what is normally a seasonally slower quarter. Showing our go-to-market investments are paying off. And third, churn continues to remain very low and in line with historical rates. Taking all these factors into account, we had a very strong quarter of ARR added. In fact, we hit an important milestone, as we added over $100 million of ARR in a single quarter for the first time.\n</blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n Next, our platform strategy continues to resonate and win in the market. As of the end of Q1, 75% of customers are using two or more products, which is up from 63% last year. Additionally, 25% of customers are using four or more products, which is up from only 12% a year ago. And we also have hundreds of customers using six or more of our nine generally available products. But it's still early. We think this is an interesting proof point that shows the continued sell opportunity in our customer base.\"\n</blockquote>\n<p>Pomel additionally noted that picking up the pace of sales and marketing hires is a priority for Datadog in 2021, and also that recently-hired sales reps are ramping quickly.</p>\n<p>One disappointment in the quarter, however, was the fact that Datadog's gross margin profile took a hit. Pro forma gross margins declined three points to 77%, down from 80% in the year-ago quarter - still a high gross margin profile, but we'd expect Datadog to continue achieving economies of scale especially as it approaches a &gt;$1 billion annual revenue run rate. The company chalked up the gross margin declines to \"continued investments in product and platform innovation,\" per CFO David Obstler.</p>\n<p>Figure 3. Datadog gross margin trends</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6f76369eef906aa53c6dffb97c40c880\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"257\"><span>Source: Datadog Q1 earnings release</span></p>\n<p>Management additionally notes that it expects gross margins to continue a slight decline through the rest of the year as Datadog brings new datacenters online.</p>\n<p>Pro forma operating margins, similarly, declined by two points to positive 10% (down from 12% in the year-ago quarter), driven by the gross margin declines plus the ramp in sales hiring.

While the list of tech stocks that crashed ~50% or more from all-time highs is long (Palantir (PLTR), Sumo Logic (SUMO), Snowflake (SNOW), Fastly (FSLY) - the list goes on and on, but these are some of the more notable recent drops), some like Datadog (DDOG) have been able to retain investors' goodwill.\nYear to date, shares of Datadog are down \"only\" 8%, and down just shy of 30% relative to all-time highs near $120. Valuation concerns have rocked Datadog at the top, but recently in May after a superb Q1 earnings beat-and-raise, Datadog has started rebounding again.\nData byYCharts\nNow, investors should be asking themselves: will Datadog make a full recovery to $120, or will it continue to trade choppily? While the jagged line patterns in Datadog's recent stock charts make for excellent short-term trading opportunities,my outlook on Datadog remains a cautious one.\nFirst, I'll share the relevant good news: Datadog has dramatically boosted its outlook for 2021, after a strong earnings topper in Q1. Now, the company is guiding to $880-$890 million in revenue, representing a 46-47% y/y growth pace. This is substantially higher than the company's original FY21 outlook of $825-$835 million, which would have represented roughly ten points weaker growth (37-38% y/y).\nFigure 1. Datadog FY21 outlook\nSource: Datadog Q1 earnings release\nI'd expect as we move throughout the year for Datadog to gradually tweak this forecast upward, though considering the company saw 51% y/y growth in Q1 and it didn't really have substantially easier comps during the pandemic period last year, there's likely not too much additional opportunity on top of the existing outlook.\nMy concern, however, is that this strength is already baked into Datadog's current valuation. At current share prices near $84, Datadog trades at a market cap of $26.17 billion. After we net off the $1.55 billion of cash and $0.73 billion of debt on Datadog's most recent balance sheet, the company's resulting enterprise value is $25.35 billion.\nVersus the $885 million midpoint of Datadog's new revenue guidance range for the year, the stock is at a whopping 28.6x EV/FY21 revenue multiple.That instantly puts Datadog in the highest echelon of software company valuations, surpassed only by a few other names (Snowflake (SNOW) ~55x forward revenue, Zscaler(NASDAQ:ZS)at ~34x forward revenue). We note as well that another Datadog peer with a similar growth profile, Palantir (PLTR), also grew at a 49% y/y pace (only two points slower than Datadog in Q1). Palantir is already expensive, but it's three turns cheaper than Datadog at ~25x forward revenue.\nThe net of it:while I agree that Datadog is a fantastic, fast-growing software company, I view valuation as its biggest vulnerability. And while Datadog is a best-in-breed vendor that consistently wins recognition from Gartner (the leading software industry reviewer), there are also plenty of older \"legacy\" companies that are making huge efforts to catch up and reassert their dominance in the monitoring/log space (Splunk (SPLK), New Relic (NEWR) fall into this bucket). My approach on Datadog is to remain on the sidelines until we get a more meaningful price decline.\nQ1 download\nLet's now cover Datadog's latest first-quarter results in greater detail. The Q1 earnings summary is shown below:\nFigure 2. Datadog Q1 results\nSource: Datadog Q1 earnings release\nDatadog's revenue grew at a 51% y/y pace to $198.5 million in the quarter, beating Wall Street's expectations of $186.6 million (+42% y/y) by a nine-point margin. At this point, investors should have already been accustomed to the fact that Datadog likes to set its early bar very low so it can produce the \"beat and raise\" that it did this quarter. We note, however, that Datadog's revenue did decelerate five points from 56% y/y growth in Q4; and if we are to believe the company's new guidance range for 46-47% y/y growth for the full year, growth will continue to decelerate throughout the remainder of this year.\nOne tailwind that has been on Datadog's side is that it prices its products primarily on a usage basis. For its core log management products, for example, Datadog's base pricing starts at $0.10 per GB of data scanned. This means that over time, Datadog's customer base will ramp up their usage of the platform and increase their spend. The amount of Datadog customers spending more than >$100k in ARR on the platform has increased to 1,437 customers, up 50% from 960 in the year-ago quarter. This is a testament to the success of Datadog's land-and-expand strategy.\nHere's some additional qualitative context from CEO Olivier Pomel's prepared remarks on the Q1 earnings call around Datadog's recent go-to-market and customer trends:\n\n First, usage growth from existing customers was stronger than expected and above historical levels. Among other factors, we are seeing the benefit of new logos signed in the back half of last year as they grow into their commitment.\n\n\n Second, new logo ARR was strong in what is normally a seasonally slower quarter. Showing our go-to-market investments are paying off. And third, churn continues to remain very low and in line with historical rates. Taking all these factors into account, we had a very strong quarter of ARR added. In fact, we hit an important milestone, as we added over $100 million of ARR in a single quarter for the first time.\n\n\n Next, our platform strategy continues to resonate and win in the market. As of the end of Q1, 75% of customers are using two or more products, which is up from 63% last year. Additionally, 25% of customers are using four or more products, which is up from only 12% a year ago. And we also have hundreds of customers using six or more of our nine generally available products. But it's still early. We think this is an interesting proof point that shows the continued sell opportunity in our customer base.\"\n\nPomel additionally noted that picking up the pace of sales and marketing hires is a priority for Datadog in 2021, and also that recently-hired sales reps are ramping quickly.\nOne disappointment in the quarter, however, was the fact that Datadog's gross margin profile took a hit. Pro forma gross margins declined three points to 77%, down from 80% in the year-ago quarter - still a high gross margin profile, but we'd expect Datadog to continue achieving economies of scale especially as it approaches a >$1 billion annual revenue run rate. The company chalked up the gross margin declines to \"continued investments in product and platform innovation,\" per CFO David Obstler.\nFigure 3. Datadog gross margin trends\nSource: Datadog Q1 earnings release\nManagement additionally notes that it expects gross margins to continue a slight decline through the rest of the year as Datadog brings new datacenters online.\nPro forma operating margins, similarly, declined by two points to positive 10% (down from 12% in the year-ago quarter), driven by the gross margin declines plus the ramp in sales hiring. We do note, on the bright side, that with a 10% pro forma operating margin on top of 51% growth, Datadog's \"Rule of 40\" score of 61 still ranks very favorably among other software peers.\nKey takeaways\nDatadog remains more or less the same kind of investment as it has always been: high quality for a high price. Yet I'm very cautious that at the company's current valuation multiple at just under <30x forward revenue that Datadog is one of the stocks most vulnerable to a continued correction/multiples de-valuation in the software sector. Watch and wait here, and don't overweight your exposure to this stock and other expensive names like it.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":451,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":107973183,"gmtCreate":1620441905742,"gmtModify":1704343772741,"author":{"id":"3581152527558672","authorId":"3581152527558672","name":"0421catcat","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581152527558672","authorIdStr":"3581152527558672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I think so","listText":"I think so","text":"I think so","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/107973183","repostId":"1125041388","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1125041388","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1620440809,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1125041388?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-08 10:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Micron Stock A Buy As Memory-Chip Market Recovers?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1125041388","media":"investors","summary":"Memory-chip maker Micron Technology(MU) is benefiting from an improving business climate, which has ","content":"<p>Memory-chip maker&nbsp;<b>Micron Technology</b>(MU) is benefiting from an improving business climate, which has boosted MU stock.

Tesla shares closed at $709.23 on Friday.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":129,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":103082378,"gmtCreate":1619739246694,"gmtModify":1704271521064,"author":{"id":"3581152527558672","authorId":"3581152527558672","name":"0421catcat","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581152527558672","authorIdStr":"3581152527558672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good news","listText":"Good news","text":"Good news","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/103082378","repostId":"1133953426","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1133953426","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1619705874,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1133953426?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-29 22:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nokia gets on 5G growth path as new strategy takes shape","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1133953426","media":"Reuters","summary":"Nokia’s new strategy showed early signs of bearing fruit on Thursday, with higher first-quarter sale","content":"<p>Nokia’s new strategy showed early signs of bearing fruit on Thursday, with higher first-quarter sales of network and 5G equipment sending its shares soaring as much as 16%.</p>\n<p>Finland’s Nokia and Swedish rival Ericsson have been winning customers as telecom operators start rolling out 5G networks and China’s Huawei faces curbs from a growing number of governments over security concerns.</p>\n<p>“This year we are seeing great demand in 5G and also in what we call network infrastructure which is basically fiber connections to homes and offices,” Chief Executive Pekka Lundmark said in an interview.</p>\n<p>After taking the top job last year, Lundmark has streamlined Nokia’s operation, cut jobs, and made changes to recover from product missteps under previous management that hit the company’s 5G ambitions and share price.</p>\n<p>Quarterly revenue rose 3% to 5.08 billion euros ($6.16 billion), beating analysts’ consensus forecast of 4.72 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.</p>\n<p>Network infrastructure sales, which include optical and fixed network products, jumped 28% to 1.73 billion euros.</p>\n<p>“These are a solid set of results and a good start to the year for Nokia,” said Richard Webb, an analyst at CCS Insight. “In particular the operating margin of 11% looks healthy and shows that the restructuring is having some positive impact.”</p>\n<p>At 1345 GMT, Nokia shares were up 13.7% at 4.057 euros, after trading as high as 4.1435 euros.</p>\n<p>LESS SEASONALITY</p>\n<p>“We expect our typical quarterly earnings seasonality to be less pronounced in 2021,” Lundmark said.</p>\n<p>The demand for infrastructure, boosted by the pandemic, is now spread out through the year, easing seasonality, which previously resulted in outsized growth in the fourth quarter.</p>\n<p>Growth in the second half of year will take a hit from one North American customer, the company said.

He wrote that a combination of a survey of resellers and channel checks made him more confident that Microsoft can propel revenue across all three primary business segments, with strength in personal computer demand from both consumers and businesses, robust upgrade activity on server software, and continued strength in Azure as a result of “continued strong enterprise consumption growth.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":435,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":347081847,"gmtCreate":1618449609889,"gmtModify":1704710978766,"author":{"id":"3581152527558672","authorId":"3581152527558672","name":"0421catcat","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581152527558672","authorIdStr":"3581152527558672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Maybe good to invest?","listText":"Maybe good to invest?","text":"Maybe good to invest?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":6,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/347081847","repostId":"1176099988","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1176099988","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618196513,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1176099988?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-12 11:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AppLovin IPO: 5 things to know about the software company seeking a $30 billion valuation","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1176099988","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Software company that helps videogame and other developers monetize and manage their apps also owns ","content":"<p>Software company that helps videogame and other developers monetize and manage their apps also owns its own portfolio of mobile games</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a6543158d4079a56022522c1b36c5e81\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"418\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>AppLovin Inc. is shooting for a valuation of more than $30 billion as the app-software company set terms for its initial public offering in its bid to catch a sizable piece of a $200 billion mobile app market.</p>\n<p>On last&nbsp;Wednesday, AppLovin&nbsp;named a price range for its shares of&nbsp;$75 to $85 apiece, a price that could value the company at more than $30 billion. The company plans to sell at least 25 million shares and have about 360 million shares outstanding, which would trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker “APP.”</p>\n<p>The Palo Alto, Calif., company, which will be a decade old in July, makes marketing, monetization and analytics software that helps app developers grow their businesses. It also owns a portfolio of more than 200 free-to-play mobile games with in-app purchases. The expected valuation of AppLovin dwarfs that of a recent comparable IPO, Unity Software Inc.,which was valued at&nbsp;nearly $14 billion&nbsp;at the time of its IPO in September.</p>\n<p>In its Securities and Exchange Commission filing, AppLovin said it sees a total market opportunity of about $189 billion, with $101 billion of that in in-app advertising revenue and about $88 billion in worldwide direct-game spending, citing IDC 2020 figures. AppLovin expects that market opportunity to grow to $283 billion by 2024.</p>\n<p>Here are five things to know about AppLovin.</p>\n<p><b>The cost of business more than doubled, and Apple and Google are a reason</b></p>\n<p>AppLovin said it took in $1.45 billion in revenue in 2020, resulting in a loss of $125.9 million, versus 2019 revenue of $994.1 million and net income of $119 million. In 2018, the company booked revenue of $483.4 million for a loss of $260 million.</p>\n<p>The big cost hike in 2020 versus 2019 was a 130% jump in cost-of-business expenses to $555.6 million, with $112 million of it due to payment-processing fees. Those payment-processing fees are the same kind that&nbsp;Epic Games balked about&nbsp;paying to Apple Inc.’s&nbsp;App Store and Alphabet Inc.’s&nbsp;Google Play store, that ran as high as 30% of purchases.</p>\n<p>“The mobile-app ecosystem depends in part on a relatively small number of third-party distribution platforms, such as the Apple App Store, the Google Play store, and Facebook, some of which are direct competitors,” AppLovin said in its S-1. “We derive significant revenue from the distribution of our apps through these third-party platforms and almost all of our [in-app purchases] are made through the payment processing systems of these third-party platforms.”</p>\n<p><b>Nearly a quarter of proceeds will go to pay down debt</b></p>\n<p>AppLovin estimates it stands to bring in net proceeds of about $1.74 billion if it prices at the mid-point of its range.</p>\n<p>Of that, the company said it plans to use about $400 million to pay off debt under its revolving credit facility. Currently, AppLovin lists $1.6 billion in debt.</p>\n<p>“Additionally, we expect to use a portion of the net proceeds to enter into strategic acquisitions and partnerships,” AppLovin said. “However, other than our pending acquisition of Adjust, we do not have definitive agreements or commitments for any material acquisitions or partnerships at this time.”</p>\n<p><b>Acquisitions are part of its growth strategy</b></p>\n<p>Most recently, AppLovin announced plans to acquire Germany-based mobile-app measurement and marketing company Adjust. While AppLovin did not disclose terms of the deal, Crunchbase estimated the price at $1 billion.</p>\n<p>The company did state in its S-1 that it has “invested over $1&nbsp;billion across 15 strategic acquisitions and partnerships” since the beginning of 2018.</p>\n<p>AppLovin acquired mobile-game developer Machine Zone Inc. last May for an undisclosed amount, although Crunchbase estimated the deal at $500 million.</p>\n<p>That follows acquisitions of software development kit-management platform&nbsp;SafeDK in 2019, in-app header bidding company Max Inc. in 2018, and Germany-based mobile-ad network&nbsp;Moqoqo in 2014.</p>\n<p>“We will continue to explore and evaluate additional acquisitions, some of which may be the same size or even larger in scale and investment than the Machine Zone acquisition and our pending acquisition of Adjust,” the company said.</p>\n<p><b>KKR has the lion’s share of voting control</b></p>\n<p>The company plans to offer Class A shares in the IPO, which carry one vote, while early investors’ Class B shares will carry 20 votes. AppLovin has raised $1.4 billion in funding from investors, according to Crunchbase.</p>\n<p>Holding the reins will be KKR Denali Holdings, which will hold 72.4% of Class B shares after the offering, for 67.4% of the voting power. Other Class B shareholders include Applovin Chief Executive and co-founder Adam Foroughi, who will own 19.4% of the Class B shares with 18.1% voting rights, and Chief Financial Officer Herald Chen, with 3.2% of the Class B shares and 3% of voting rights.</p>\n<p>The company will also establish a nonvoting class of shares, though those shares do not yet exist.</p>\n<p><b>Attempt to sell to Chinese firm failed, and KKR stepped in</b></p>\n<p>If it wasn’t for U.S. concerns about investments in strategic assets from China, KKR may have never got involved and AppLovin would not have gone public.</p>\n<p>In September 2016, AppLovin agreed to be acquired outright by Chinese private-equity firm Orient Hontai Capital for&nbsp;$1.4 billion. A little over a year later, that deal was scrapped — reportedly after the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States pushed back on the deal over customer data concerns — and&nbsp;AppLovin agreed to take an $841 million debt investment&nbsp;from Orient Hontai. Prior to that deal, Orient Hontai had invested $140 million in the company; currently, Orient Hontai owns 26.2 million Class A shares.</p>\n<p>In July 2018, KKR &amp; Co. invested $400 million for a minority stake in AppLovin of roughly 110 million shares. At the suggested IPO price, that $400 million investment would be worth more than $8 billion.</p>","source":"lsy1603348471595","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>AppLovin IPO: 5 things to know about the software company seeking a $30 billion valuation</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\">\nAppLovin IPO: 5 things to know about the software company seeking a $30 billion valuation\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-12 11:01 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/applovin-ipo-5-things-to-know-about-the-software-company-seeking-a-30-billion-valuation-11617836424><strong>MarketWatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Software company that helps videogame and other developers monetize and manage their apps also owns its own portfolio of mobile games\n\nAppLovin Inc. is shooting for a valuation of more than $30 ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/applovin-ipo-5-things-to-know-about-the-software-company-seeking-a-30-billion-valuation-11617836424\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"APP":"AppLovin Corporation"},"source_url":"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/applovin-ipo-5-things-to-know-about-the-software-company-seeking-a-30-billion-valuation-11617836424","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1176099988","content_text":"Software company that helps videogame and other developers monetize and manage their apps also owns its own portfolio of mobile games\n\nAppLovin Inc. is shooting for a valuation of more than $30 billion as the app-software company set terms for its initial public offering in its bid to catch a sizable piece of a $200 billion mobile app market.\nOn last Wednesday, AppLovin named a price range for its shares of $75 to $85 apiece, a price that could value the company at more than $30 billion.

The Nasdaq Composite, the relative outperformer, gained just over 1% to 13,996.1 as Apple and PayPal each added more than 2%. Semiconductor maker Nvidia climbed 3%, Tesla rose 8.6%.\nThe Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 68.13 points, 0.2%, to close at 33,677.27 after dropping more than 150 points earlier in the session.\nReopening trades came under pressure Tuesday morning after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it’s recommending a pause in the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine after reported cases of blood clotting.\nThere have been six reported cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot after receiving the J&J vaccine, the FDA said. The administration is calling for a pause in the vaccine until Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concludes its investigation into these cases.\n“Until that process is complete, we are recommending this pause,” the FDA said. “This is important to ensure that the health care provider community is aware of the potential for these adverse events and can plan due to the unique treatment required with this type of blood clot.”\nActing FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock said later Tuesday that she expects the pause to last “a matter of days.” More than 6.8 million doses of the single-dose vaccine have been administered in the U.S. J&J shares lost 1.3%.\nJeff Zients, the White House Covid-19 response coordinator, replied that the FDA’s announcement should not have a material impact on the national effort to vaccinate.\n“Over the last few weeks, we have made available more than 25 million doses of Pfizer and Moderna each week, and in fact this week we will make available 28 million doses of these vaccines,” he added. “This is more than enough supply to continue the current pace of vaccinations of 3 million shots per day, and meet the President’s goal of 200 million shots by his 100th day in office.”\nStill, shares of companies that would be hurt the most if the vaccine rollout slows underperformed Tuesday.\nAlaska Air and American Airlines both lost 1.5%; car-rental company Avis Budget shed nearly 1%. Shares of Moderna, which makes another coronavirus vaccine, jumped 7.4% following the J&J news, which was reported first by The New York Times.\n“I don’t think there’s going to be a huge reaction in the market beyond the knee-jerk reaction we’re getting here right now,” said Mike Wilson, chief U.S. equity strategist for Morgan Stanley, on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “We’re optimistic, very optimistic that we’re going to be reopened fully in the second half of this year.”\nThe consumer price index, one of Wall Street’s most-popular inflation gauges, rose 0.6% in March and increased 2.6% from the same period a year ago. Economists polled by Dow Jones were projecting the headline index to rise by 0.5% month over month and 2.5% year over year.\nCore CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, increased 0.3% monthly and 1.6% year over year.\nGovernment officials, including Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Sunday and Biden administration economists on Monday, stressed that while they expect a jump in inflation in the months ahead, the change could prove temporary due to comparisons with last year’s pandemic lockdowns and extra consumer spending from stimulus checks and pent-up demand.\nPrivate sector strategists and economists also said that the reading may not be a true gauge of rising prices. Fed officials said they are willing to let inflation run hot for a period of time without changing their accommodative policy stance, including asset purchases and a benchmark interest near zero.\n“US equities are drifting slightly higher Tuesday as investors digest a higher-than-expected inflation in the CPI report and position ahead of 1Q21 earnings, which start on Wednesday,” Chris Hussey, a managing director at Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note.\n“Underneath the surface, the market is assuming a defensive posture today led by mega-cap Tech and the bond proxies -- Utilities and Real Estate,” he added.\nThe market has been calm over the past week as Wall Street settled into a lull ahead of the first-quarter earnings season. Corporate news is set to pick up later in the week, with JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Delta Air Lines among the companies set to report quarterly results.\nThe bond market was also subdued on Tuesday, with the 10-year Treasury yield edging lower to just above 1.62%. Yields move inversely to prices.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":51,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":345305638,"gmtCreate":1618276654624,"gmtModify":1704708447681,"author":{"id":"3581152527558672","authorId":"3581152527558672","name":"0421catcat","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581152527558672","authorIdStr":"3581152527558672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Price goes up","listText":"Price goes up","text":"Price goes up","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/345305638","repostId":"2127093090","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2127093090","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618274540,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2127093090?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-13 08:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Jack Ma’s Fortune Jumps $2.3 Billion After Record Alibaba Fine","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2127093090","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Jack Ma Photographer: Marlene Awaad/Bloomberg\nChina just slapped a record antitrust fine on Alibaba ","content":"<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/310e7dedfa66ea85186468bfd6f6692a\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1333\"><span>Jack Ma Photographer: Marlene Awaad/Bloomberg</span></p>\n<p>China just slapped a record antitrust fine on Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.

To get there, the stock needs to rise to $264.55.</p><p>The shares have gained 18% year to date.</p><p>Analysts expect another strong quarter from the company’s Azure and Office 365 cloud businesses, and will be looking for signs of accelerating growth in its enterprise operation. Sales of Surface hardware—laptops and whiteboards—were likely strong in the quarter, given the huge recent growth in PC purchases, although there is some potential that shortages of components resulted in unfilled demand. Strength in the PC market also bodes well for sales of the Windows operating system.&nbsp;</p><p>Microsoft breaks down its results into&nbsp;three segments: Productivity and Business Processes, which includes Office 365, Dynamics, and LinkedIn; Intelligence Cloud, which includes Azure and enterprise server software; and More Personal Computing, which includes Windows, Xbox, Surface hardware, and Bing.</p><p>When Microsoft reported its results for its fiscal second quarter in late January,CFO Amy Hood provided revenue guidance for each segment. For Productivity and Business Processes, she projected revenue of $13.35 billion to $13.6 billion.

To get there, the stock needs to rise to $264.55.The shares have gained 18% year to date.Analysts expect another strong quarter from the company’s Azure and Office 365 cloud businesses, and will be looking for signs of accelerating growth in its enterprise operation. Sales of Surface hardware—laptops and whiteboards—were likely strong in the quarter, given the huge recent growth in PC purchases, although there is some potential that shortages of components resulted in unfilled demand. Strength in the PC market also bodes well for sales of the Windows operating system. Microsoft breaks down its results into three segments: Productivity and Business Processes, which includes Office 365, Dynamics, and LinkedIn; Intelligence Cloud, which includes Azure and enterprise server software; and More Personal Computing, which includes Windows, Xbox, Surface hardware, and Bing.When Microsoft reported its results for its fiscal second quarter in late January,CFO Amy Hood provided revenue guidance for each segment. For Productivity and Business Processes, she projected revenue of $13.35 billion to $13.6 billion. The call for Intelligent Cloud was for revenue of $14.7 billion to $14.95 billion, while she predicted $12.3 billion to $12.7 billion for More Personal Computing. If revenue for each segment came in at the top of its forecast range, the total would be $41.25 billion.In research notes, several analysts cited positive comments from customers and resellers in projecting strong results.Last week, KeyBanc Capital’s Michael Turits repeated his Overweight rating on the stock while lifting his target for the price to $295, from $280. He says the company is likely benefiting from a combination of strong IT demand and continuing strength in PC shipments.“We continue to see Microsoft’s combination of expanding Azure scope, broad enterprise application innovation, and aggressive bundling seeing success in the market,” he wrote. “Nearly all North American Microsoft distributors/resellers we spoke with reported Microsoft channel revenue on or above plan.”J.P.

It shows Microsoft’s ambition to extend its leadership into an industry where digital transformation has picked up speed during the pandemic. Healthcare providers have invested more in technology to improve productivity and digital health services.</p>\n<p>“This acquisition brings our technology directly into the physician and patient loop, which is central to all healthcare delivery. The acquisition will also expand our leadership in cross-industry enterprise AI and biometric security,” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said on an investor call.</p>\n<p>Microsoft’s offer of $56 per share represents a premium of 22.86% to Nuance’s closing price on Friday. The shares gained 16% to close at $52.85 on Monday.</p>\n<p>Nuance, known for pioneering speech technology and helping launch Apple Inc’s virtual assistant, Siri, has gone through strategic reviews led by Chief Executive Mark Benjamin.

Analysts had expected an adjusted profit of 1 euro cent.\n“This was supposed to be the bad year, but now it got off to a good start ... the market clearly now believes in Nokia’s goals more than before and maybe even sees them as somewhat conservative because the Q1 was so strong,” said OP Markets analyst Kimmo Stenvall.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":134,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":109040083,"gmtCreate":1619656225542,"gmtModify":1704727436775,"author":{"id":"3581152527558672","authorId":"3581152527558672","name":"0421catcat","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581152527558672","authorIdStr":"3581152527558672"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow, big profit","listText":"Wow, big profit","text":"Wow, big profit","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/109040083","repostId":"1137964402","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1137964402","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1619651546,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1137964402?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-29 07:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple reports another blowout quarter with sales up 54%, authorizes $90 billion in share buybacks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1137964402","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Apple reported a blowout quarter on Wednesday, announcing companywide sales up 54% higher than last year, and significantly stronger profits than Wall Street expected.Apple did not issue official guidance for what it expects in the quarter ending in June.Apple authorized $90 billion in share buybacks.Apple stock rose over 4% at one point in extended trading.Apple reported double-digit growth in every single one of its product categories, and its most important product line, the iPhone, was up 65","content":"<p><b>KEY POINTS</b></p><ul><li>Apple reported a blowout quarter on Wednesday, announcing companywide sales up 54% higher than last year, and&nbsp;significantly stronger profits than Wall Street expected.</li><li>Apple did not issue official guidance for what it expects in the quarter ending in June.</li><li>Apple authorized $90 billion in share buybacks.</li></ul><p>Apple&nbsp;reported&nbsp;a blowout quarter&nbsp;on Wednesday, announcing companywide sales up 54% higher than last year, and&nbsp;significantly stronger profits than Wall Street expected.</p><p>Apple stock rose over 4% at one point in extended trading.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e791f63f460807906f1793c2d58933e\" tg-width=\"1302\" tg-height=\"833\"></p><p>Apple reported double-digit growth in every single one of its product categories, and its&nbsp;most important product line, the iPhone, was up 65.5% from last year.

The stock was at $691 at the time and did move higher in the next couple of weeks, but as we can see from the below, the move didn’t stick. That caused me to rethink my position in the short-term with Tesla, and now that we are four weeks out from the next earnings report, we have a different situation on our hands.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/54fd49361e0720105b3d38a4c4c88fa1\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"615\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: StockCharts</span></p>\n<p>I’ve annotated several things on the daily chart because the situation is quite interesting for Tesla during this critical period leading up to the next earnings release. The first thing I’ll note is that the accumulation/distribution line remains very strong, having never wavered from its prior levels achieved during the massive rally that took place mostly in 2020. That’s a good sign because the bulls and bears remain roughly equally matched despite a share price that has given the bulls every reason to move on.</p>\n<p>Momentum is more of a mixed picture because the PPO and 14-day RSI are both showing some signs of positive divergence, but also signs that bullish momentum is nowhere near high enough to push the stock into another rally phase.

Which direction it will go is anyone’s guess, but I’d be ready for a wild reaction to the earnings release in July.</p>\n<p>If we look at a weekly chart, I see a much rosier picture.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ef4525c330221c7768acc84c336cd8ef\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"615\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: StockCharts</span></p>\n<p>We can see that the stock ran up massively in 2020 and took with it the accumulation/distribution line, as well as the momentum indicators, as you’d expect. But since the selling began, we see signs that the stock has simply worked off its overbought conditions, which looks bullish to me.</p>\n<p>The 50-week moving average has served as support during this consolidation phase, and it currently stands at $575, so I’d watch that level if we see more selling. On the plus side, the accumulation/distribution line looks beautiful and again, is supportive of this selling being a digestion period rather than the end of the bull market for Tesla.</p>\n<p>Momentum would seem to support that as well, as the PPO and 14-week RSI are back at centerline support. What happens after this is critical, obviously, but the weekly chart doesn’t show Tesla as breaking down on a longer-term basis. The negative divergences we saw since 2020 began have given way to momentum resetting, which often happens before a new bull phase begins. With the earnings report looming in July, and the daily and weekly charts showing different pictures (at least to my eye), it’s going to be an interesting next four weeks for sure.</p>\n<p><b>Fundamentals still bullish</b></p>\n<p>I’d sum up the chart as having a short-term set of challenges for the bulls, but longer-term, I still see Tesla going higher. On a fundamental basis, I think the conclusion is decidedly more bullish. Let’s start with revenue revisions, which have been nothing short of terrific.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7297a6360a43284ab70d4caf12d206f3\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"282\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>All years are showing uptrends in revenue revisions, and in particular, the out years. Let us not forget that these positive revisions are occurring during a time when countless startups and internal combustion engine OGs like GM (GM), Ford (F) and Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY) are investing tens of billions of dollars to take market share in EVs. None of this is new and it isn’t like the analyst community is surprised by these investments; Tesla is simply on a tremendous upward trajectory when it comes to growing revenue.</p>\n<p>Canaccordpointed out last week that the Model S Plaid Plus delay was likely due to the 4680 cell design not being ready for prime time. That very well could be the case, and it wouldn’t be the first time Tesla disappointed with a time frame it gave investors. Remember therobo-taxi claim?</p>\n<p>At any rate, the company’s lineup continues to resonate with customers and now that capacity constraints should lessen greatly over the coming years – new factories in a few parts of the world will help – the path of least resistance for Tesla is no doubt higher. This will only get better as Tesla can decrease the per-unit cost of things like the batteries so it can better compete with mainstream automakers on price, and become a mainstream automaker rather than a niche manufacturer for the well-heeled.</p>\n<p>Another thing scale is affording Tesla is monumental progress with profit margins. Below we have trailing-twelve-months gross margins, SG&amp;A costs, and EBIT margin as a percentage of revenue.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f9effb44d7bda8f3bdb535e80dd1ac0f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"168\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>All three of these lines are moving in the right direction. Gross margins have been rising thanks to higher sales and production volumes, a trend that should continue so long as sales remain robust. In addition, Tesla is spending much less on an SG&amp;A basis than it used to, which again, is the product of higher sales volume. SG&amp;A used to be in the mid-20% range of revenue, which is unsustainable. Today, it’s only 10%, which means operating margins have gone quite positive, and with room to run in the future.</p>\n<p>Margins have always been an easy thing for the bears to point to, but that is simply no longer the case, and if you have a long holding period, the margin situation is going to work out in the bulls’ favor.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6401d5cd793a93d0ed6d36f911abdb15\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"283\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source:Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>This is all pointing to ever-higher EPS estimates, as we can see above. Analysts continue to try and keep up with Tesla’s upward trajectory, and so long as sales volumes and margins continue their march higher, so will these lines. Again, this is a feather in the cap of the bulls.</p>\n<p><b>Other considerations</b></p>\n<p>Tesla is not for the faint of heart, because it is volatile and we are at a point in the history of the automobile that an EV gold rush of sorts is occurring. Everyone is investing to win once the internal combustion engine is gone, but Tesla has a massive head start on the competition.</p>\n<p>Even so, there are risks to consider. First, Tesla could lose its technology lead over time as legacy manufacturers throw tens of billions of dollars at R&amp;D on battery technology. Tesla is far and away the superior battery maker today, but that does not guarantee it stays that way. To be clear, I don’t see that as a viable outcome in the near-term, but ten years from now? Twenty? It's a risk.</p>\n<p>Another risk is that Tesla uses its stock as a piggy bank, issuing shares to fund R&amp;D, factory construction, and the like.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b8f44f661051d87ad3f2906cabe5479d\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"165\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>The share count has nearly doubled in the past decade, which is pretty ugly from a shareholders’ perspective, as we usually only see this kind of dilution with REITs or BDCs that issue equity capital as a normal course of business. Manufacturing stocks don’t generally do anything like this, but Tesla has made it work. Still, you have to imagine it is possible that over a decade holding period, you’ll be diluted out of half of your ownership in the company. This also creates an uphill battle for EPS as earnings are spread over more and more shares, so I want to be clear this is an unequivocal negative for shareholders. However, let me now point you to what could possibly be the saving grace for this perma-dilution; free cash flow.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0569f35589cc0f82bb006148271df19b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"170\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>Tesla’s trailing-twelve-months FCF has improved immensely in recent years, as the company is producing massive amounts of operating cash flow that it never did before, which is owed once again to sales volume and margin growth. Tesla has surpassed the point where it needs to constantly issue capital just to survive because it is creating its own through its operations. This is massively important for the bull case because it means the dilution we’ve seen in recent years<i>shouldn’t</i>be necessary any longer.</p>\n<p>Indeed, if we look at net debt, we can see just how much Tesla’s balance sheet has improved, which again supports not having to dilute shareholders to stay afloat.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/49fa413fc33c85d7269e987b2c11c888\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>Net debt has turned into a net cash position of late, with Tesla having nearly $5 billion in cash and equivalents more than debt. Tesla’s financing situation has improved enormously, and that’s good for those of us that are bullish.</p>\n<p><b>Is it cheap?</b></p>\n<p>Not really. But then again revolutionary companies rarely are. The good news is that the price-to-sales ratio has halved since the peak earlier this year, but at 11x forward revenue, I cannot in good conscience call it cheap.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ca2d9f38636872d9d508e096e9ac8af8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"189\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: TIKR.com</span></p>\n<p>However, it is a lot cheaper than it was, and withrevenueslated to rise by more than half this year, and then<i>double</i>again by 2024, you don’t need the multiple to rise for a bullish outlook.</p>\n<p>I’ll reiterate that there are risks to Tesla. The daily chart is leaning slightly bearish with that descending triangle, but we’re heading into the pre-earnings run-up that Tesla<i>usually</i>shines during. The weekly chart is showing signs of digestion rather than rolling over. There are competitive risks that aren’t new and will never go way, but the company is still building great EVs that are resonating with customers. Margins and FCF are booming comparatively speaking, and the stock is at roughly half the valuation it was a few months ago.</p>\n<p>All in all, Tesla almost certainly has a rocky road in front of it, but I’m still bullish given the weight of the evidence.</p>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Tesla: A Lesson In Humility</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\">\nTesla: A Lesson In Humility\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-24 11:43 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4436295-tesla-a-lesson-in-humility><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nTesla shares have pulled well back in a months-long period of weakness.\nWith earnings coming up, there looks to be a showdown of bulls and bears on the near-term horizon.\nI see Tesla's ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4436295-tesla-a-lesson-in-humility\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"TSLA":"特斯拉"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4436295-tesla-a-lesson-in-humility","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1176854050","content_text":"Summary\n\nTesla shares have pulled well back in a months-long period of weakness.\nWith earnings coming up, there looks to be a showdown of bulls and bears on the near-term horizon.\nI see Tesla's fundamentals - and valuation - as having improved massively in recent months, and I'm therefore still quite bullish.\n\nAdrianHancu/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nSometimes in investing, our thesis, no matter how much we believe in it, doesn’t work.

Let us not forget that these positive revisions are occurring during a time when countless startups and internal combustion engine OGs like GM (GM), Ford (F) and Volkswagen (OTCPK:VWAGY) are investing tens of billions of dollars to take market share in EVs. None of this is new and it isn’t like the analyst community is surprised by these investments; Tesla is simply on a tremendous upward trajectory when it comes to growing revenue.\nCanaccordpointed out last week that the Model S Plaid Plus delay was likely due to the 4680 cell design not being ready for prime time. That very well could be the case, and it wouldn’t be the first time Tesla disappointed with a time frame it gave investors. Remember therobo-taxi claim?\nAt any rate, the company’s lineup continues to resonate with customers and now that capacity constraints should lessen greatly over the coming years – new factories in a few parts of the world will help – the path of least resistance for Tesla is no doubt higher. This will only get better as Tesla can decrease the per-unit cost of things like the batteries so it can better compete with mainstream automakers on price, and become a mainstream automaker rather than a niche manufacturer for the well-heeled.\nAnother thing scale is affording Tesla is monumental progress with profit margins. Below we have trailing-twelve-months gross margins, SG&A costs, and EBIT margin as a percentage of revenue.\nSource: TIKR.com\nAll three of these lines are moving in the right direction. Gross margins have been rising thanks to higher sales and production volumes, a trend that should continue so long as sales remain robust. In addition, Tesla is spending much less on an SG&A basis than it used to, which again, is the product of higher sales volume. SG&A used to be in the mid-20% range of revenue, which is unsustainable. Today, it’s only 10%, which means operating margins have gone quite positive, and with room to run in the future.\nMargins have always been an easy thing for the bears to point to, but that is simply no longer the case, and if you have a long holding period, the margin situation is going to work out in the bulls’ favor.\nSource:Seeking Alpha\nThis is all pointing to ever-higher EPS estimates, as we can see above. Analysts continue to try and keep up with Tesla’s upward trajectory, and so long as sales volumes and margins continue their march higher, so will these lines. Again, this is a feather in the cap of the bulls.\nOther considerations\nTesla is not for the faint of heart, because it is volatile and we are at a point in the history of the automobile that an EV gold rush of sorts is occurring. Everyone is investing to win once the internal combustion engine is gone, but Tesla has a massive head start on the competition.\nEven so, there are risks to consider. First, Tesla could lose its technology lead over time as legacy manufacturers throw tens of billions of dollars at R&D on battery technology. Tesla is far and away the superior battery maker today, but that does not guarantee it stays that way. To be clear, I don’t see that as a viable outcome in the near-term, but ten years from now? Twenty? It's a risk.\nAnother risk is that Tesla uses its stock as a piggy bank, issuing shares to fund R&D, factory construction, and the like.\nSource: TIKR.com\nThe share count has nearly doubled in the past decade, which is pretty ugly from a shareholders’ perspective, as we usually only see this kind of dilution with REITs or BDCs that issue equity capital as a normal course of business. Manufacturing stocks don’t generally do anything like this, but Tesla has made it work. Still, you have to imagine it is possible that over a decade holding period, you’ll be diluted out of half of your ownership in the company. This also creates an uphill battle for EPS as earnings are spread over more and more shares, so I want to be clear this is an unequivocal negative for shareholders. However, let me now point you to what could possibly be the saving grace for this perma-dilution; free cash flow.\nSource: TIKR.com\nTesla’s trailing-twelve-months FCF has improved immensely in recent years, as the company is producing massive amounts of operating cash flow that it never did before, which is owed once again to sales volume and margin growth. Tesla has surpassed the point where it needs to constantly issue capital just to survive because it is creating its own through its operations. This is massively important for the bull case because it means the dilution we’ve seen in recent yearsshouldn’tbe necessary any longer.\nIndeed, if we look at net debt, we can see just how much Tesla’s balance sheet has improved, which again supports not having to dilute shareholders to stay afloat.\nSource: TIKR.com\nNet debt has turned into a net cash position of late, with Tesla having nearly $5 billion in cash and equivalents more than debt. Tesla’s financing situation has improved enormously, and that’s good for those of us that are bullish.\nIs it cheap?\nNot really. But then again revolutionary companies rarely are. The good news is that the price-to-sales ratio has halved since the peak earlier this year, but at 11x forward revenue, I cannot in good conscience call it cheap.\nSource: TIKR.com\nHowever, it is a lot cheaper than it was, and withrevenueslated to rise by more than half this year, and thendoubleagain by 2024, you don’t need the multiple to rise for a bullish outlook.\nI’ll reiterate that there are risks to Tesla. The daily chart is leaning slightly bearish with that descending triangle, but we’re heading into the pre-earnings run-up that Teslausuallyshines during. The weekly chart is showing signs of digestion rather than rolling over. There are competitive risks that aren’t new and will never go way, but the company is still building great EVs that are resonating with customers. Margins and FCF are booming comparatively speaking, and the stock is at roughly half the valuation it was a few months ago.\nAll in all, Tesla almost certainly has a rocky road in front of it, but I’m still bullish given the weight of the evidence.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":316,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
