There is the potential for this to be a very noisy quarterly report given what happened throughout the quarter, so we could be in store for a lot of one-time items. With the stock having rebounded a bit in recent weeks, investors are looking for significant signs of progress and a major update on the yearly forecast.</p>\n<p>While expectations dipped throughout the quarter, Tesla ended up with a preliminary delivery record of 184,800 vehicles for Q1 2021, up a little more than 4,000 units sequentially. However, that was all due to sales of the Model 3/Y increasing by more than 21,000 units from Q4, as there were only about 2,000 S/X units sold. Despite Elon Musk's statement on the Q4 conference call, as well as his tweets that the new versions of the S/X were already in production and deliveries would start in February, those new vehicles didn't make it to customers during Q1. Investors will be looking for an explanation as to what happened that caused Model S/X production to be zero for the quarter, and what the status is there as we are a number of weeks into Q2.</p>\n<p>As for the headline financials, everyone will be comparing the major results to the Q4 figures that Tesla reported. For that period, total revenues were just above $10.74 billion. Of that, more than $9.31 billion came from automotive revenues, with $401 million of that being regulatory revenue credits sales. Tesla had automotive GAAP gross margins of 25.6%, but when excluding those highly profitable credit sales, non-GAAP margins were just 21.0%. Tesla delivered GAAP net income of $270 million, or $0.24 per share, while non-GAAP EPS came in at $0.80.</p>\n<p>As I discussed in my most recent Tesla article, my main focus will be on the company's margins this quarter. If overall revenues are close to the street average, say within $100 million without any major surprises like credit sales, I won't make a big deal about the top line. Gross margins are more in focus given a number of price cuts early in the quarter, some price increases later in the quarter, the China Model Y ramp, and increases in key commodity prices. If Tesla can keep its margin profile close to that of Q4, then expectations for long term increased profitability will probably remain elevated. As I usually do, the table below shows my three cases for what results could look like. Dollar values are in millions.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37e25d8b7ec8932fe0c7b8ee2557cf99\" tg-width=\"551\" tg-height=\"577\"></p>\n<p>I'm not expecting any major surprises here for the first quarter, as I'm a little below the current street average for revenues but higher on the bottom line. If management was correct that there were a number of one-time items that dragged down Q4 profitability, then I think Tesla will be a little better off on its expense structure than analysts are expecting. Of course, credit sales are always a wildcard, and the Model S/X situation could complicate things a bit. As a point of reference, the numbers above exclude any potential gains from the sales of Bitcoin, which could be in the hundreds of millions of dollars or even more if Tesla sold some of or even all of its position during the quarter.</p>\n<p>The second major item to watch is the yearly forecast. While management called for deliveries of over 750,000 for 2021, investors are looking for a lot more than that, especially after the Q1 figures. With even a very modest contribution from the S/X in Q2, the next stage of the Made in China Model Y ramp should easily get deliveries over 200k in this quarter. The table below shows Tesla's installed capacity update from its prior reports along with actual production reported.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a285f38669d7589e5d24de12393541a6\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"226\"><span>Source: Tesla quarterly reports on IR site</span></p>\n<p>Over the last three quarters, Tesla has been running production at about 94% of the previous earnings report's four quarter rolling average for total production capacity (annual figure divided by four). Extrapolating out at say 95% for the rest of the year with no additional capacity increases puts Tesla at about 882,000 units, and that doesn't include any help from the new factories in Berlin or Texas. Thus, even if you take out a few thousand units for the slow S/X ramp and assume nothing from those two places, Tesla should be able to produce at least 875,000 units for the year. Realistically, the number should be closer to 900,000 unless there are any major problems, so the yearly delivery forecast really should be in the high 800k area. Whether or not management does give us a concrete number or even an approximation is uncertain, however.</p>\n<p>The final item I'll be watching for is for a major update on Tesla's autonomy progress. Elon Musk's statement of a million robo-taxis on the road in 2020 obviously didn't pan out, and some have suggested the company will launch an Uber (UBER) like driver based ride hailing service soon. Late last week, Tesla released its Q1 vehicle safety report, and the results were a bit underwhelming. For the first time since releasing this data, the year over year Autopilot data worsened, with the number of miles per crash coming down by nearly 10.5% from Q1 2020. Another horrible deadly crash over the weekend has put the company in the spotlight again, and not in a good way.

As the chart below shows, they spent nearly two months below their 50-day moving average (green line) before getting above it recently. Should shares drop after earnings, this key technical level would likely continue its fall at a brisk pace, increasing the chance of a death cross happening in a couple of months.

Now that almost a third of the year is done, investors will be waiting to see if management gives a more concrete yearly delivery forecast, with expectations rising after Q1's print. Finally, questions over autonomy plans will only grow as autopilot statistics weakened and another high profile crash occurred.

There is the potential for this to be a very noisy quarterly report given what happened throughout the quarter, so we could be in store for a lot of one-time items. With the stock having rebounded a bit in recent weeks, investors are looking for significant signs of progress and a major update on the yearly forecast.\nWhile expectations dipped throughout the quarter, Tesla ended up with a preliminary delivery record of 184,800 vehicles for Q1 2021, up a little more than 4,000 units sequentially. However, that was all due to sales of the Model 3/Y increasing by more than 21,000 units from Q4, as there were only about 2,000 S/X units sold. Despite Elon Musk's statement on the Q4 conference call, as well as his tweets that the new versions of the S/X were already in production and deliveries would start in February, those new vehicles didn't make it to customers during Q1. Investors will be looking for an explanation as to what happened that caused Model S/X production to be zero for the quarter, and what the status is there as we are a number of weeks into Q2.\nAs for the headline financials, everyone will be comparing the major results to the Q4 figures that Tesla reported. For that period, total revenues were just above $10.74 billion. Of that, more than $9.31 billion came from automotive revenues, with $401 million of that being regulatory revenue credits sales. Tesla had automotive GAAP gross margins of 25.6%, but when excluding those highly profitable credit sales, non-GAAP margins were just 21.0%. Tesla delivered GAAP net income of $270 million, or $0.24 per share, while non-GAAP EPS came in at $0.80.\nAs I discussed in my most recent Tesla article, my main focus will be on the company's margins this quarter. If overall revenues are close to the street average, say within $100 million without any major surprises like credit sales, I won't make a big deal about the top line. Gross margins are more in focus given a number of price cuts early in the quarter, some price increases later in the quarter, the China Model Y ramp, and increases in key commodity prices. If Tesla can keep its margin profile close to that of Q4, then expectations for long term increased profitability will probably remain elevated. As I usually do, the table below shows my three cases for what results could look like. Dollar values are in millions.\n\nI'm not expecting any major surprises here for the first quarter, as I'm a little below the current street average for revenues but higher on the bottom line. If management was correct that there were a number of one-time items that dragged down Q4 profitability, then I think Tesla will be a little better off on its expense structure than analysts are expecting. Of course, credit sales are always a wildcard, and the Model S/X situation could complicate things a bit. As a point of reference, the numbers above exclude any potential gains from the sales of Bitcoin, which could be in the hundreds of millions of dollars or even more if Tesla sold some of or even all of its position during the quarter.\nThe second major item to watch is the yearly forecast. While management called for deliveries of over 750,000 for 2021, investors are looking for a lot more than that, especially after the Q1 figures. With even a very modest contribution from the S/X in Q2, the next stage of the Made in China Model Y ramp should easily get deliveries over 200k in this quarter. The table below shows Tesla's installed capacity update from its prior reports along with actual production reported.\nSource: Tesla quarterly reports on IR site\nOver the last three quarters, Tesla has been running production at about 94% of the previous earnings report's four quarter rolling average for total production capacity (annual figure divided by four). Extrapolating out at say 95% for the rest of the year with no additional capacity increases puts Tesla at about 882,000 units, and that doesn't include any help from the new factories in Berlin or Texas. Thus, even if you take out a few thousand units for the slow S/X ramp and assume nothing from those two places, Tesla should be able to produce at least 875,000 units for the year. Realistically, the number should be closer to 900,000 unless there are any major problems, so the yearly delivery forecast really should be in the high 800k area. Whether or not management does give us a concrete number or even an approximation is uncertain, however.\nThe final item I'll be watching for is for a major update on Tesla's autonomy progress. Elon Musk's statement of a million robo-taxis on the road in 2020 obviously didn't pan out, and some have suggested the company will launch an Uber (UBER) like driver based ride hailing service soon. Late last week, Tesla released its Q1 vehicle safety report, and the results were a bit underwhelming. For the first time since releasing this data, the year over year Autopilot data worsened, with the number of miles per crash coming down by nearly 10.5% from Q1 2020. Another horrible deadly crash over the weekend has put the company in the spotlight again, and not in a good way. Tesla's self-driving ambitions are a big reason why investors have been bidding up this stock, but the program continues to fall behind almost every timeline that Elon Musk has put out there.\nTesla shares go into this earnings report at an interesting time. As the chart below shows, they spent nearly two months below their 50-day moving average (green line) before getting above it recently. Should shares drop after earnings, this key technical level would likely continue its fall at a brisk pace, increasing the chance of a death cross happening in a couple of months. On the flip side, a positive earnings reaction could get the 50-day line moving higher and help to form a support base.\nSource: Yahoo!

For instance, the benchmark <b>S&P 500</b> has delivered an average annual total return, including dividends, of greater than 10% since the beginning of 1980. Keep in mind this includes the dot-com bubble, the Great Recession, and the coronavirus crash.</p>\n<p>But in recent years, it's been cryptocurrencies that've run circles around equities. Young investors, in particular, have been drawn to the decentralized and unregulated nature of digital currencies, as well as the neck-breaking volatility that often comes with owning crypto.</p>\n<h2>Dogecoin is flying, but you're foolish if you're buying</h2>\n<p>For much of the past week, it's cryptocurrency <b>Dogecoin</b> (CRYPTO:DOGE) that's been garnering the attention of momentum players, retail investors, and digital currency enthusiasts. As of late afternoon Friday, April 16, Dogecoin could be purchased for about $0.31 per token. For context, it began the week at $0.07, and is higher by more than 15,400% over the trailing year. That would top the gain of every single publicly traded stock over the past year.</p>\n<p>If you're wondering why Dogecoin has been on fire, it looks to be a combination of tweets/pumping from Elon Musk, the CEO of <b>Tesla Motors</b>, and technical moves, which take into account volume and chart patterns.</p>\n<p>However, the story behind Dogecoin and its real-world utility are major red flags that true investors should be aware of. For instance, two engineers created Dogecoin in 2013 in a matter of hours as a joke. The idea was to combine the two buzziest things on the internet at the time -- a Shiba Inu dog meme and the cryptocurrency craze -- into a single entity. Thus was born Dogecoin.</p>\n<p>Dogecoin lacks substantive differentiation, relative to other digital currencies, and it has extremely limited utility. According to <i>International Business Times</i> via Dogecoins.com, 48 businesses accept Dogecoin. Meanwhile, online company directory Cryptwerk listed in the neighborhood of 1,200 place, stores, and services accepting Dogecoin, as of April 16.</p>\n<p>But here's a number to keep in mind: There are more than 32 million businesses in the U.S. alone. Further, according to <i>The Hill</i>, there are an estimated 582 million entrepreneurs worldwide. About 1,200 of these businesses, at most, accept Dogecoin. That's how minimal the utility is.</p>\n<h2>This trio of stocks make for much smarter investments than Dogecoin</h2>\n<p>Rather than throwing your hard-earned money at a pump-and-dump asset like Dogecoin, consider putting your money to work in the following three much smarter buys.</p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce</a>.com</h2>\n<p>A considerably smarter way of putting your money to work right now would be to buy shares of cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) software provider <b>salesforce.com</b> (NYSE:CRM). Despite its megacap size ($214 billion market cap), it offers sustainable sales growth of 20% or higher for the next half-decade, if not longer.</p>\n<p>For those unfamiliar, CRM software is used by consumer-facing businesses to handle tasks like logging customer information and overseeing service or product issues. It's also handy when managing online marketing campaigns and as a predictive tool for suggesting new products and services to existing clients based on their buying history or other metrics. CRM software makes a lot of sense for the retail and service industries, but is finding plenty of momentum in nontraditional places, such as banks and hospitals.</p>\n<p>What makes salesforce such a beast is the company's utter dominance of global CRM revenue. In the first half of 2020, IDC estimated that salesforce controlled just shy of 20% of global CRM revenue. That was more than No.'s 2 through 5 on its global share list, combined. This makes salesforce the logical go-to for big businesses looking to incorporate CRM software.</p>\n<p>Salesforce is also in the process of acquiring enterprise-focused communications platform <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WORK\">Slack Technologies</a></b> in a cash-and-stock deal that was valued at $27.7 billion when it was announced. If this deal closes, salesforce will be able to use Slack's platform as a jumping-off point to cross-sell to smaller businesses. This'll be its key to reaching $50 billion in annual sales in five years.</p>\n<h2>Jushi Holdings</h2>\n<p>Marijuana stocks are arguably <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the most overcrowded trades at the moment -- and for good reason. According to <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NFC.U\">New Frontier</a> Data, weed sales in the U.S. are expected to grow by 21% annually between 2019 and 2025, ultimately hitting $41.5 billion by mid-decade. One of the smartest ways to take advantage of this growth is with small-cap multistate operator (MSO) <b>Jushi Holdings</b> (OTC:JUSHF).</p>\n<p>Jushi's growth strategy is a bit different from most MSOs. Instead of trying to plant its proverbial flag in as many states as possible, Jushi is focusing most of its effort in three states: Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Virginia. The common theme is that all three states limit how they assign retail licenses. Pennsylvania and Illinois cap the number of allowable retail stores, while Virginia assigns dispensary licenses by jurisdiction. Put another way, 80% or more of Jushi's revenue will come from markets where competition will be limited or nonexistent. It's a smart strategy that'll allow Jushi to effectively build up its brand and gain a following.</p>\n<p>Despite its small size, Jushi has not been afraid to go shopping. It's acquired assets in Pennsylvania and Virginia to expand its presence in these core states, and has used acquisitions to gain a footprint in the California and Nevada markets. California is the largest cannabis market in the world by annual sales, while Nevada is expected to lead the nation in cannabis spending per capita by 2024.</p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> final note, roughly $45 million of the first $250 million in capital raised by the company came from insiders and executives. When the interests (and wallets) of execs line up with their shareholders, good things tend to happen.</p>\n<h2>Pinterest</h2>\n<p>A third stock that's a considerably smarter buy than Dogecoin is social media up-and-comer <b>Pinterest</b> (NYSE:PINS).</p>\n<p>To state the obvious, Pinterest had a great 2020. With the pandemic keeping people in their homes, many turned to social sites for engagement. This included Pinterest, which picked up a net of 124 million monthly active users (MAU) last year. But understand that Pinterest was wooing new MAUs long before the pandemic struck. In the three years preceding the pandemic, net MAU growth averaged 30%, compared to the 37% MAU growth recorded in 2020.</p>\n<p>What's notable about the users Pinterest is attracting is that they're predominantly from international markets. More than 90% of the 124 million net MAUs gained in 2020 were from outside the United States. On one hand, average revenue per user (ARPU) is considerably lower outside the U.S., meaning Pinterest isn't generating a lot of revenue from the new users it's picking up. However, it also gives the company ample opportunity to grow its international ARPU significantly this decade. As more international users sign up, ad dollars will climb to reach these users.</p>\n<p>Best of all, we're witnessing the early stages of what could be an absolute e-commerce giant. Think about it this way: Pinterest's user base is willingly sharing the things, places, and services that interest them. This makes Pinterest one of the most-targeted platforms on the planet for merchants that can meet these interests. As long as Pinterest can keep its user base engaged, it should have no problem generating huge returns over the long run for investors.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Forget Dogecoin: These 3 Stocks Are Much Smarter Buys</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\">\nForget Dogecoin: These 3 Stocks Are Much Smarter Buys\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-19 18:15 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/19/forget-dogecoin-these-3-stocks-much-smarter-buys/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Over the long run, the stock market has proved, time and again, it's the greatest wealth creator on the planet.

Meanwhile, online company directory Cryptwerk listed in the neighborhood of 1,200 place, stores, and services accepting Dogecoin, as of April 16.\nBut here's a number to keep in mind: There are more than 32 million businesses in the U.S. alone. Further, according to The Hill, there are an estimated 582 million entrepreneurs worldwide. About 1,200 of these businesses, at most, accept Dogecoin. That's how minimal the utility is.\nThis trio of stocks make for much smarter investments than Dogecoin\nRather than throwing your hard-earned money at a pump-and-dump asset like Dogecoin, consider putting your money to work in the following three much smarter buys.\nSalesforce.com\nA considerably smarter way of putting your money to work right now would be to buy shares of cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) software provider salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM). Despite its megacap size ($214 billion market cap), it offers sustainable sales growth of 20% or higher for the next half-decade, if not longer.\nFor those unfamiliar, CRM software is used by consumer-facing businesses to handle tasks like logging customer information and overseeing service or product issues. It's also handy when managing online marketing campaigns and as a predictive tool for suggesting new products and services to existing clients based on their buying history or other metrics. CRM software makes a lot of sense for the retail and service industries, but is finding plenty of momentum in nontraditional places, such as banks and hospitals.\nWhat makes salesforce such a beast is the company's utter dominance of global CRM revenue. In the first half of 2020, IDC estimated that salesforce controlled just shy of 20% of global CRM revenue. That was more than No.'s 2 through 5 on its global share list, combined. This makes salesforce the logical go-to for big businesses looking to incorporate CRM software.\nSalesforce is also in the process of acquiring enterprise-focused communications platform Slack Technologies in a cash-and-stock deal that was valued at $27.7 billion when it was announced. If this deal closes, salesforce will be able to use Slack's platform as a jumping-off point to cross-sell to smaller businesses. This'll be its key to reaching $50 billion in annual sales in five years.\nJushi Holdings\nMarijuana stocks are arguably one of the most overcrowded trades at the moment -- and for good reason. According to New Frontier Data, weed sales in the U.S. are expected to grow by 21% annually between 2019 and 2025, ultimately hitting $41.5 billion by mid-decade. One of the smartest ways to take advantage of this growth is with small-cap multistate operator (MSO) Jushi Holdings (OTC:JUSHF).\nJushi's growth strategy is a bit different from most MSOs. Instead of trying to plant its proverbial flag in as many states as possible, Jushi is focusing most of its effort in three states: Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Virginia. The common theme is that all three states limit how they assign retail licenses. Pennsylvania and Illinois cap the number of allowable retail stores, while Virginia assigns dispensary licenses by jurisdiction. Put another way, 80% or more of Jushi's revenue will come from markets where competition will be limited or nonexistent. It's a smart strategy that'll allow Jushi to effectively build up its brand and gain a following.\nDespite its small size, Jushi has not been afraid to go shopping. It's acquired assets in Pennsylvania and Virginia to expand its presence in these core states, and has used acquisitions to gain a footprint in the California and Nevada markets. California is the largest cannabis market in the world by annual sales, while Nevada is expected to lead the nation in cannabis spending per capita by 2024.\nAs one final note, roughly $45 million of the first $250 million in capital raised by the company came from insiders and executives. When the interests (and wallets) of execs line up with their shareholders, good things tend to happen.\nPinterest\nA third stock that's a considerably smarter buy than Dogecoin is social media up-and-comer Pinterest (NYSE:PINS).\nTo state the obvious, Pinterest had a great 2020. With the pandemic keeping people in their homes, many turned to social sites for engagement. This included Pinterest, which picked up a net of 124 million monthly active users (MAU) last year. But understand that Pinterest was wooing new MAUs long before the pandemic struck. In the three years preceding the pandemic, net MAU growth averaged 30%, compared to the 37% MAU growth recorded in 2020.\nWhat's notable about the users Pinterest is attracting is that they're predominantly from international markets. More than 90% of the 124 million net MAUs gained in 2020 were from outside the United States. On one hand, average revenue per user (ARPU) is considerably lower outside the U.S., meaning Pinterest isn't generating a lot of revenue from the new users it's picking up. However, it also gives the company ample opportunity to grow its international ARPU significantly this decade. As more international users sign up, ad dollars will climb to reach these users.\nBest of all, we're witnessing the early stages of what could be an absolute e-commerce giant. Think about it this way: Pinterest's user base is willingly sharing the things, places, and services that interest them. This makes Pinterest one of the most-targeted platforms on the planet for merchants that can meet these interests. As long as Pinterest can keep its user base engaged, it should have no problem generating huge returns over the long run for investors.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":494,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":371785667,"gmtCreate":1618972243359,"gmtModify":1704717693326,"author":{"id":"3581422366606158","authorId":"3581422366606158","name":"Nimisgnow","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581422366606158","authorIdStr":"3581422366606158"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"DOGE","listText":"DOGE","text":"DOGE","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/371785667","repostId":"1135997952","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":539,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":371788113,"gmtCreate":1618972025632,"gmtModify":1704717690050,"author":{"id":"3581422366606158","authorId":"3581422366606158","name":"Nimisgnow","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581422366606158","authorIdStr":"3581422366606158"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hodl","listText":"Hodl","text":"Hodl","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/371788113","repostId":"1186349790","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1186349790","pubTimestamp":1618902818,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1186349790?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-20 15:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla: 3 Key Earnings Questions","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1186349790","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Margins in focus after unusual quarter and China factory ramp.Robo-taxi situation still unclear as autopilot data weakens.All eyes will be on electric vehicle maker Tesla next Monday as the company reports earnings after the bell.

There is the potential for this to be a very noisy quarterly report given what happened throughout the quarter, so we could be in store for a lot of one-time items. With the stock having rebounded a bit in recent weeks, investors are looking for significant signs of progress and a major update on the yearly forecast.</p>\n<p>While expectations dipped throughout the quarter, Tesla ended up with a preliminary delivery record of 184,800 vehicles for Q1 2021, up a little more than 4,000 units sequentially. However, that was all due to sales of the Model 3/Y increasing by more than 21,000 units from Q4, as there were only about 2,000 S/X units sold. Despite Elon Musk's statement on the Q4 conference call, as well as his tweets that the new versions of the S/X were already in production and deliveries would start in February, those new vehicles didn't make it to customers during Q1. Investors will be looking for an explanation as to what happened that caused Model S/X production to be zero for the quarter, and what the status is there as we are a number of weeks into Q2.</p>\n<p>As for the headline financials, everyone will be comparing the major results to the Q4 figures that Tesla reported. For that period, total revenues were just above $10.74 billion. Of that, more than $9.31 billion came from automotive revenues, with $401 million of that being regulatory revenue credits sales. Tesla had automotive GAAP gross margins of 25.6%, but when excluding those highly profitable credit sales, non-GAAP margins were just 21.0%. Tesla delivered GAAP net income of $270 million, or $0.24 per share, while non-GAAP EPS came in at $0.80.</p>\n<p>As I discussed in my most recent Tesla article, my main focus will be on the company's margins this quarter. If overall revenues are close to the street average, say within $100 million without any major surprises like credit sales, I won't make a big deal about the top line. Gross margins are more in focus given a number of price cuts early in the quarter, some price increases later in the quarter, the China Model Y ramp, and increases in key commodity prices. If Tesla can keep its margin profile close to that of Q4, then expectations for long term increased profitability will probably remain elevated. As I usually do, the table below shows my three cases for what results could look like. Dollar values are in millions.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/37e25d8b7ec8932fe0c7b8ee2557cf99\" tg-width=\"551\" tg-height=\"577\"></p>\n<p>I'm not expecting any major surprises here for the first quarter, as I'm a little below the current street average for revenues but higher on the bottom line. If management was correct that there were a number of one-time items that dragged down Q4 profitability, then I think Tesla will be a little better off on its expense structure than analysts are expecting. Of course, credit sales are always a wildcard, and the Model S/X situation could complicate things a bit. As a point of reference, the numbers above exclude any potential gains from the sales of Bitcoin, which could be in the hundreds of millions of dollars or even more if Tesla sold some of or even all of its position during the quarter.</p>\n<p>The second major item to watch is the yearly forecast. While management called for deliveries of over 750,000 for 2021, investors are looking for a lot more than that, especially after the Q1 figures. With even a very modest contribution from the S/X in Q2, the next stage of the Made in China Model Y ramp should easily get deliveries over 200k in this quarter. The table below shows Tesla's installed capacity update from its prior reports along with actual production reported.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a285f38669d7589e5d24de12393541a6\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"226\"><span>Source: Tesla quarterly reports on IR site</span></p>\n<p>Over the last three quarters, Tesla has been running production at about 94% of the previous earnings report's four quarter rolling average for total production capacity (annual figure divided by four). Extrapolating out at say 95% for the rest of the year with no additional capacity increases puts Tesla at about 882,000 units, and that doesn't include any help from the new factories in Berlin or Texas. Thus, even if you take out a few thousand units for the slow S/X ramp and assume nothing from those two places, Tesla should be able to produce at least 875,000 units for the year. Realistically, the number should be closer to 900,000 unless there are any major problems, so the yearly delivery forecast really should be in the high 800k area. Whether or not management does give us a concrete number or even an approximation is uncertain, however.</p>\n<p>The final item I'll be watching for is for a major update on Tesla's autonomy progress. Elon Musk's statement of a million robo-taxis on the road in 2020 obviously didn't pan out, and some have suggested the company will launch an Uber (UBER) like driver based ride hailing service soon. Late last week, Tesla released its Q1 vehicle safety report, and the results were a bit underwhelming. For the first time since releasing this data, the year over year Autopilot data worsened, with the number of miles per crash coming down by nearly 10.5% from Q1 2020. Another horrible deadly crash over the weekend has put the company in the spotlight again, and not in a good way. Tesla's self-driving ambitions are a big reason why investors have been bidding up this stock, but the program continues to fall behind almost every timeline that Elon Musk has put out there.</p>\n<p>Tesla shares go into this earnings report at an interesting time. As the chart below shows, they spent nearly two months below their 50-day moving average (green line) before getting above it recently. Should shares drop after earnings, this key technical level would likely continue its fall at a brisk pace, increasing the chance of a death cross happening in a couple of months. On the flip side, a positive earnings reaction could get the 50-day line moving higher and help to form a support base.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e377e2082619305a6d2a94ef9d07df50\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"275\"><span>Source: Yahoo! Finance</span></p>\n<p>In the end, Tesla's earnings report next week will certainly be an interesting one. This has the potential to be a very noisy report, given no Model S/X production and potentially large Bitcoin gains. I'll be most focusing on margins as the Model Y started to ramp in China, and we saw numerous price changes during the quarter. Now that almost a third of the year is done, investors will be waiting to see if management gives a more concrete yearly delivery forecast, with expectations rising after Q1's print. Finally, questions over autonomy plans will only grow as autopilot statistics weakened and another high profile crash occurred. While Tesla shares are still well off their all-time highs, they've rebounded a bit in recent weeks to get above a key technical level recently.</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: 3 Key Earnings Questions</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: 3 Key Earnings Questions\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-20 15:13 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4419885-tesla-3-key-earnings-questions><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nMargins in focus after unusual quarter and China factory ramp.\nInvestors expecting guidance update given Q1 deliveries.\nRobo-taxi situation still unclear as autopilot data weakens.\n\nPhoto by ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4419885-tesla-3-key-earnings-questions\">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/4419885-tesla-3-key-earnings-questions","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/5a36db9d73b4222bc376d24ccc48c8a4","article_id":"1186349790","content_text":"Summary\n\nMargins in focus after unusual quarter and China factory ramp.\nInvestors expecting guidance update given Q1 deliveries.\nRobo-taxi situation still unclear as autopilot data weakens.\n\nPhoto by AdrianHancu/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nAll eyes will be on electric vehicle maker Tesla (TSLA) next Monday as the company reports earnings after the bell.

For instance, two engineers created Dogecoin in 2013 in a matter of hours as a joke.

Further, according to <i>The Hill</i>, there are an estimated 582 million entrepreneurs worldwide. About 1,200 of these businesses, at most, accept Dogecoin. That's how minimal the utility is.</p>\n<h2>This trio of stocks make for much smarter investments than Dogecoin</h2>\n<p>Rather than throwing your hard-earned money at a pump-and-dump asset like Dogecoin, consider putting your money to work in the following three much smarter buys.</p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce</a>.com</h2>\n<p>A considerably smarter way of putting your money to work right now would be to buy shares of cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) software provider <b>salesforce.com</b> (NYSE:CRM). Despite its megacap size ($214 billion market cap), it offers sustainable sales growth of 20% or higher for the next half-decade, if not longer.</p>\n<p>For those unfamiliar, CRM software is used by consumer-facing businesses to handle tasks like logging customer information and overseeing service or product issues. It's also handy when managing online marketing campaigns and as a predictive tool for suggesting new products and services to existing clients based on their buying history or other metrics. CRM software makes a lot of sense for the retail and service industries, but is finding plenty of momentum in nontraditional places, such as banks and hospitals.</p>\n<p>What makes salesforce such a beast is the company's utter dominance of global CRM revenue. In the first half of 2020, IDC estimated that salesforce controlled just shy of 20% of global CRM revenue. That was more than No.'s 2 through 5 on its global share list, combined. This makes salesforce the logical go-to for big businesses looking to incorporate CRM software.</p>\n<p>Salesforce is also in the process of acquiring enterprise-focused communications platform <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WORK\">Slack Technologies</a></b> in a cash-and-stock deal that was valued at $27.7 billion when it was announced. If this deal closes, salesforce will be able to use Slack's platform as a jumping-off point to cross-sell to smaller businesses. This'll be its key to reaching $50 billion in annual sales in five years.</p>\n<h2>Jushi Holdings</h2>\n<p>Marijuana stocks are arguably <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the most overcrowded trades at the moment -- and for good reason. According to <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NFC.U\">New Frontier</a> Data, weed sales in the U.S. are expected to grow by 21% annually between 2019 and 2025, ultimately hitting $41.5 billion by mid-decade. One of the smartest ways to take advantage of this growth is with small-cap multistate operator (MSO) <b>Jushi Holdings</b> (OTC:JUSHF).</p>\n<p>Jushi's growth strategy is a bit different from most MSOs. Instead of trying to plant its proverbial flag in as many states as possible, Jushi is focusing most of its effort in three states: Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Virginia. The common theme is that all three states limit how they assign retail licenses. Pennsylvania and Illinois cap the number of allowable retail stores, while Virginia assigns dispensary licenses by jurisdiction. Put another way, 80% or more of Jushi's revenue will come from markets where competition will be limited or nonexistent. It's a smart strategy that'll allow Jushi to effectively build up its brand and gain a following.</p>\n<p>Despite its small size, Jushi has not been afraid to go shopping. It's acquired assets in Pennsylvania and Virginia to expand its presence in these core states, and has used acquisitions to gain a footprint in the California and Nevada markets. California is the largest cannabis market in the world by annual sales, while Nevada is expected to lead the nation in cannabis spending per capita by 2024.</p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> final note, roughly $45 million of the first $250 million in capital raised by the company came from insiders and executives. When the interests (and wallets) of execs line up with their shareholders, good things tend to happen.</p>\n<h2>Pinterest</h2>\n<p>A third stock that's a considerably smarter buy than Dogecoin is social media up-and-comer <b>Pinterest</b> (NYSE:PINS).</p>\n<p>To state the obvious, Pinterest had a great 2020. With the pandemic keeping people in their homes, many turned to social sites for engagement. This included Pinterest, which picked up a net of 124 million monthly active users (MAU) last year. But understand that Pinterest was wooing new MAUs long before the pandemic struck. In the three years preceding the pandemic, net MAU growth averaged 30%, compared to the 37% MAU growth recorded in 2020.</p>\n<p>What's notable about the users Pinterest is attracting is that they're predominantly from international markets. More than 90% of the 124 million net MAUs gained in 2020 were from outside the United States. On one hand, average revenue per user (ARPU) is considerably lower outside the U.S., meaning Pinterest isn't generating a lot of revenue from the new users it's picking up. However, it also gives the company ample opportunity to grow its international ARPU significantly this decade. As more international users sign up, ad dollars will climb to reach these users.</p>\n<p>Best of all, we're witnessing the early stages of what could be an absolute e-commerce giant. Think about it this way: Pinterest's user base is willingly sharing the things, places, and services that interest them. This makes Pinterest one of the most-targeted platforms on the planet for merchants that can meet these interests. As long as Pinterest can keep its user base engaged, it should have no problem generating huge returns over the long run for investors.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Forget Dogecoin: These 3 Stocks Are Much Smarter Buys</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\">\nForget Dogecoin: These 3 Stocks Are Much Smarter Buys\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-19 18:15 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/19/forget-dogecoin-these-3-stocks-much-smarter-buys/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Over the long run, the stock market has proved, time and again, it's the greatest wealth creator on the planet.
